#aftg extra content

[parasocialqueen]

when Kevin said to Andrew to try caring about exy that he’s obligated to live up to his potential in the extra content and Andrew told Renee “there’s only so much of me left Renee! I am not giving the scraps to him.”

this ec is making me sadder and sadder but also love the series even more??? Nora what are u doing to me

[peggyrose19]

me? making a 273 page document of all the aftg extra content? available for anyone to view, print, and download? instead of doing homework? nooo of course not. couldn’t be me. definitely not what this is

[yes-i-exist-shutup]

The extra content is a gold mine I tell you

[be-queer-do-arson]

I love the extra content very, very much, but there is still the occasional thing I don't like. Take the girls' futures for example.Dan's future? Golden. Fits her character so, so well. Dan was made to coach, and she would be the perfect person to take over after Wymack. Renee's future? Makes total sense. Of course she'd join the peace corps. Allison though? She should've fucking gone pro

me: fuck the extra content, we write our own destiny

nora: yeah they hold hands and give each other forehead kisses and get cats together

me: oh my god they hold hands and give each other forehead kisses and-

I was doing some research, and I realized that Clemson, SC (where Palmetto is based on) and Columbia, SC are NOT, in fact, an hour apart from each other like they are in the books, but two hours! Idk what to think now. (First pic from Nora's old blog)

Geographic location is the same! But the distance has shrunk to one hour!

Oh Andrew, just wait who he recruits next XDD

[armanisluv]

in the extra content nora mentioned that in all of the other aftg drafts except the final published draft andrew has this fatal brain disease that causes him to forget everything. leaving aaron to be the one to take everything andrew would’ve received since andrew would just forget about it anyway. i’m willing to go fucking desperado to see some art or a fic about this. i’m fucking begging please.

Andrew having a designated nap time is something that can be so personal...

he has a timer set and everything 🥺

[walkingcorpse03]

since nora purged the extra content i would like to present the playlist i made years ago of the songs nora had on playlists for neil and andreil 🫡

friendly reminder to the masses that Thea knew from the beginning what Kevin was capable of becoming

[parasocialqueen]

I have spent the majority of the hours in my day today reading Nora’s ec for aftg.

I feel like a shell of a person whose only purpose in life is to love aftg. Is that too niche and insane to say? Probably.

I’m only halfway through the ec. I need all the prayers x

So, this is what seth thinks of people who are richer and more famous than him:

And this is Seth 3 years prior to TFC. from one of Nora's Tumblr posts.

I really love this little detail because it shows how much seth grew to realise the people more privileged than him did not mean that they were better than him over the past 3 years.

And i especially love this because in Noras post she said that Allison is a freshman that year- I would like to think that over those 3 years between the post and TFC, Allison was a big part of the reason that Seth grew to acknowledge that (not entirely, the other part was Kevin Being Kevin)

Seth died horribly and deserved better, but he did not die without knowing he was worth something.

Controversial aftg take: the extra content was more good than bad.

Don't get me wrong, there are a few things from the extra content I absolutely hate. For the most part though? So good. We get canon answers for the most obscure shit, like nicky's taste in music and which fox's kid would curse first and andrew's exact subway order, for gods sake. We get robin and andriel learning russian and dan taking over the foxes after wymack retires.

There were a handful of things we all clearly disagree with, but I also think we should acknowledge that there's way more good stuff in there than just sir and king, you know?

I know we all agree that Renee's backstory is tragic but I don't think we REALLY focus of how bad it was.

Substance abuse, rape, gang typical violence, murder and it started AT 10.

Taken from the EC:

"On initiation night to the Bloodhounds, I was raped by its eight officers. Tradition," she said, with a casualness she wasn't feeling. "After that, most of them left me alone, but one took a special interest in me. He was older than me, and bigger than me, and stronger than me, so I had to find a way to fight him. He liked knives," she said, and Andrew flicked her a quick look she couldn't decipher, "so I decided to use them against him. I wanted to beat him at his own game, too."

Andrew rocked onto his knees to get in her face. He was so close his knuckles scraped her collarbone when he motioned to her. "But there is a flaw in your story, don't you see? Friday you said you spent six years with the Hounds. But you were in North Dakota for two and a half years, yes? Either you are very old, or you were very young. Maybe both?"

"I am twenty-two," Renee said. "I'll be twenty-three in September."

Andrew did the math faster than she expected-she hadn't expected him to remember all the finer details of the story she'd told him on Friday, but he pulled the numbers together now and ticked them off on his fingers. "Twenty-one your freshman year. Nineteen when you started your junior year at West Jackson, eighteen when you moved to North Dakota. Two years in the foster system. So you became a Hound at ten years old, Natalie Renee Shields Walker."

"Yes," Renee said quietly.

"Spoil the end of this story for me," Andrew said. "Did you kill him?"

He wasn't smiling anymore. Renee had the distinct feeling her answer was important to him, but she wasn't sure why. His odd comments here and there had her thinking he was more than a little misogynistic, but the intense look in his eyes upended those suspicions. It was maybe too soon to put her faith in him, but in that moment Renee was willing to believe. He wasn't a good person-probably never had been, never would be-but he was not the soulless, crazy monster the rumors made him out to be.

"Eventually," Renee said. "I knew he'd kill me if I lost, so I waited until I was sure I could take him. But yes. When the time came I won and he died." She reached for her cross necklace and hooked her finger around the thin chain. "I'm waiting to feel sorry for it, but all these years later I still can't repent. So instead I keep the knives I killed him with, to remember what I let myself become

Also if you saw this before, no you didn’t.

Here's a reminder that ANDREW DOES HEAL AND LEARN TO FEEL. Nora never said that Andrew never heals or that he doesn't get less apathetic. She said the opposite, actually. If you don't like the extra content, that's fine, but please actually read it before deciding to spread the incorrect assumptions people have made up about it. Just because Andrew never gets to the point where he smiles and laughs all the time doesn't mean he doesn't heal.

(Also, Nora never said Andrew never smiles, just that it's hard to imagine, and if he did, it'd be with only Neil around)
