#“kevin and i talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time”

[ivyinne]

Neil: daddy issues

Jean, an intellectual: father complex

[neildramaqueenjosten]

*Mic drop

Neil “Dan I said please I tried to be nice” Josten.

He did in fact say please not once but twice Dan.

The Raven King, Chapter 6, Page 83 is my favorite page in the whole series.

Neil: *breathing*

Kevin:

“you know i get it—”

i will have flashbacks whenever someone says this from now on

[glendover]

If I were Riko and Neil dissed me like that in front of all my teammates I’d simply retire from the Exy world and move to an island, ain’t no way I let my face be seen anywhere near the goddamn court after that

[puppysdog]

sorry for being back on my aftg shit andrew is hanging around and i have brain rot

"Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless Daddy Issues™️ all the time."

My man Neil really said, "I'm dragging you down with me," with no hesitation. He made up a whole lie just to spite Riko, and I think that's beautiful.

don’t care + didn’t ask + you know, I get it. being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you’re worth a damn off the court— yeah, sounds rough. kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time. I know it’s not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you’re physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don’t think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. so please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone.

The whole Riko Roast is a masterpiece but in particular the line "Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time" gets me every time because no the fuck they do not!!! Neil just made that up for the drama!!!! He thought hmmmm... what will make this fucker the angriest and then he held nothing back. Neil threw Kevin's ass right under the bus without a second thought just to see Riko's face twitch. Iconic.

Nicky digs his fingers into Neil's thigh under the table, a silent and desperate reminder to keep his mouth shut. Neil leaves half-moon marks on the back of Nicky's hand with his fingernails and counts to ten. He only makes it to four before Riko opens his mouth again. "What a coward," Riko says with exaggerated disappointment. "Just like his mother." Neil stops counting. "You know, I get it," Neil says. "Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you're worth a damn off the court —yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time." "Neil," Kevin says, low and frantic. Neil ignores him. "I know it's not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you're physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don't think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. Pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone." Jaws drop up and down the line; Raven symmetry shatters as they stare at Neil in stupefied disbelief. Riko's expression could have frozen hell, but Neil was too upset to be afraid. He'd have a nervous breakdown later. Right now he leans forward and looks down the table at Dan, who sits with her face buried in her hands. "Dan, I said please. I tried to be nice." "Matt," Dan says, almost choking on his name. "Matt, Coach. Get Coach. Oh my god." Matt leaves as fast as he could.

[little-miss-daffodil]

Me: trying to remember everything I have to for an exam and STRUGGLING

Also me: You know, I get it. Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you’re worth a damn off the court— yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time.

"Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time" is such an insane line to say

Neil Josten i love you.

[foxyldraws]

Jean revealing that Riko couldn't bring himself to kill David because he knew that he was Kevin's dad makes the "Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time" hit so much better

[thepipedream]

If you think there is ANY way to justify all the shit he did, I'd like to say :

"You know, I get it. Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you’re worth a damn off the court— yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time. I know it’s not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you’re physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don’t think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit.

Thank you for listening
