#aftg my jaan

[janwixler]

Underrated Andreil moment?? It's this, this gold right here!!

I cry every-single-time cause, I wonder if Neil wasn't taken to Baltimore and if the world wouldn't come crashing down between these two after the match, What Would Andrew Ask for~? 'Anything' is quite a dangerous word for Neil But He Insisted! hello?!! Also, Andrew, doesn't-give-a-shit-about-exy-Andrew actually SAVED the game for Neil?! not for the first time, but this moment right there was really something!! THE SPECIAL MOMENT Was Robbed By Literally A Kidnapped Neil On The Next Scene And Andrew Could've Done Something To Stop That But Couldn't

*proceeds to try to climb on Andrew's back*

Andrew: what th-, Get off me, you didn't even drink that much.. Andrew (internally): Fucking adorable.

*gives him a piggyback ride to their room*

[janwixler]

Book 1 Neil: lmao, who tf cares about Andrew? Book 2 Neil: ....Well, maybe don't put it That way? Book 3 Neil: ME!!! 'I' !!! I CARE ABOUT ANDREW!!!

[janwixler]

that's Andrew and Neil right there~

[janwixler]

So Andrew Choose Kevin but he actually didn't not in a way where it's romantic. Kevin Choose Neil but not in that way too. Neil choose both of them and trusted them enough to stay but He trusted Andrew more. out of all the homoerotic things going on between Neil and Kevin, Kevin and Andrew, Neil and Andrew became the endgame where it just slapped in our faces on TKM. All the tension between them was for nothing because Nora decided Poly couldn't be a thing but refused to erase all the 'ohmygwad just kiss me already' vibes.

Am I missing something?

[janwixler]

Neil with his fans? yes please!

I know very much of the sports fandom and it’s craze. I know most people, middle aged men in particular, don’t want extra info of the players except their skills. (my dad lol)

But teen girls and Boys??!! Oh, they’re The Heart of making sports personalities into literal Celebrities! (I actually idolised many Brazilian football player and actually had a shrine!)

As for the aftg universe, we know that Exy is a relatively new but gradually popular sports. If we fix the timeline correctly, then it’s in the mid 80s when Neil was obsessed with the sports. it's very clear with Neil's own Kevin and Riko shrine, he's much like a fanboy himself too!

so turns out, Exy fandom do exist there on full blast. Judging by Kevin's popularity and Neil's super rise to the fame with pure talent, it would be only a matter of time when Neil becomes as popular as him.

Coming to the main point, How would he react to his fans?!!

At first, he wouldn't even believe he might have some fans. He's always too busy with dealing with reporters as a captain, his first reaction to someone screaming 'JOSTEN!! WE LOVE YOU!!' is like a rabbit hearing a gunshot (Nicky's words!)

The fans often mail him gifts and Postcards and chocolates. Neil give the chocolates to Andrew and keep the postcards in a wardrobe drawer dedicated to these.

When the fans of the front row seats call him to sign a autograph after a game, he's always to worn out to even hold a pen. But when he's in a good mood, being benched for the last half of the game and his team winning, he tells the security to grab a bunch of notes to sign them off. (oh and the girls scream!!! that can surely be heard from outside of the stadium)

oh, the girls, fangirls yes. Neil isn't (obviously) like Nicky; out, loud and proud. He keeps his intimate relationship with Andrew a very secret. in one of the sports banquet, Some girls were crying and screaming at the the audience side of the red carpet as he and Kevin arrived. Kevin told him to keep things professional as he gently smiled at the camera's and the fangirls. Neil scoffed. a few girls were literally sobbing with a notebook in hands and calling out Neil. Kevin told him to sign a few fans as he went to his fan-group. Neil hesitated for a bit and then tried a smile as he reached the fangirls. their screeching noises were deafening. as was almost finished with a third one, a girl blurted out, "Please marry me Neil!! I love you!". Neil finished the fourth one and looked at the direction where the confession came. Flustered by being noticed, the girl who said that still asked a tone higher, "please, Neil?!" upon noticing the girl right this time, Neil gently smiled, "I'm sorry, but I'm already someone else's!" the girls exclaimed shrikes that time were manageable, But Kevin's roaring remarks of the next morning's headlines were not.

paparazzi never really seem to get tired of him. in a store buying stuff with pyjamas on? check. Having occasional convo with Andrew outside the game (a lot)? check. Coming out of a LGBTQ friendly club once in two weeks? check (bonus if Andrew is on sight). Neil meeting up with his former team-mates once a while? check, check and check.

Neil does get celebrity treatment but he refuses to admit. A good looking player with a no-filter comments about opposed team, he is a total banger for the sports drama.

He often asks some fans if there is something he should focus on more. The fanboys just burst out every theory they have. They might not be accurate sometimes but Neil does love a constructive criticism.

Neil is often seen with Andrew but surprisingly nobody questions them and he doesn't mind about it.

the fan accounts of Neil are a absolute disaster. Nicky found about it first. Neil was way too cringed at the contents some middle school girls make and none of these focused on Exy. Neil never once looked him up on the fansites again.

Neil never fails to feel goosebumps when the fans roar their pro team fight song when he goes pro. For the first few years, he and Andrew been playing on different team. So in small match breaks when he goes to Andrew to say how good he was playing, the fans roared in cheers cause they assumed these two were warning each other off. That's when the famous 'Josten-Minyard; formidable foe?' headline started a trend. Neil's freshmen years foxes team made this like a common family joke whenever they see two of them together!

[janwixler]

Aaron literally killing someone with Neil’s racquet.

Neil: oh no! is my super expensive racquet going to jail with Aaron? I hope it’s not too damaged.

Blood literally exploded and splattered on all over Neil and his locker.

Neil: oh no, my jersey! Dw, here’s some chemicals to remove the blood stain. I gotta clean the locker asap too.

The foxes: 👁️👄👁️

[janwixler]

British Neil

My fav HC for Neil is that he is actually comfortable in British accent. years of running with his mom and a young age at that, he unintentionally slips out his British accent in front of the foxes.

Well it happened once, Once!

Neil: (in a British accent) Allison, can you pass me the chips?

The foxes were watching a movie, until all of them looked at Neil including Allison.

Allison: chips? Neil: yeah, those right there. why is everyone star-- Allison: CHIPS?! Neil: (instantly realising) Fries! I meant Fries! Matt: oh man! what was that? That accent though? My god! It weirdly suits you?! Dan: wow Neil! (trying to hide her smile) want some 'candy floss' too? Nicky: Neil, I can't breathe! You were British this whole time?! Tell me it's the last one of your lies?! Neil: (shamefully nodding) Nicky: oh damn, I always had a thing for accen-

no wonder how he got so quiet all of a sudden with Andrew beside him. But the foxes now were giggling with a bit flustered Neil on the carpeted floor. So much for getting comfortable, huh.

[janwixler]

Reminder That Neil being a sugar daddy is an actual cannon shit in the books.

[janwixler]

three random aftg hc that might just make sense

Andrew is afraid of spiders:

and neil is not

well, sleeping in makeshift houses for years, being afraid of insects is just a grandeur for him

one time a medium-sized hairy spider was found chilling on the dorm bathroom ceiling and Andrew was the first one to notice

he just froze outside

Neil was passing by and definitely noticed the stiffness lingering on Andrew's shoulder.

'what.' Neil asked, not really a question and was rewarded with death glare/almost teary eyes from Andrew.

Neil looked inside, saw the spider and 'huh, okay.' was all he said.

a few moments later Neil scooted the spider with a piece of paper and safely threw it out of the window.

Andrew was nowhere to be seen in the process.

then he was found in his room, slowly eating a bacquet of ice-cream, listening to music on laptop with his headphones on.

Neil was then given the permanent job of always checking the bathroom before Andrew until his fifth year.

Neil and his (not-so) secret obsession with tea(s):

now that his path is semi-clear by the moriyama's, his uncle tries to keep contact with neil once a month

and once a year, he receives a special gift package from England; best regards, sh (Stuart Hatford)

that one time he sent Neil a package of the best darjeeling tea

Neil isn't a hot-chocolate person, coffee is the okay-est thing to keep him up in night practices and homeworks.

but TEA? Neil was Shook by the flavor.

he started to try all types of them and tried to convince Andrew into trying some.

Andrew liked milk tea with ungodly amount of sugar

but masala tea, Neil's new favourite was a big no from him.

weekend afternoon is the Best time for tea and he likes to believe he invented the image of it.

so very British of him really

He never misses a chance to try out a new flavour and he prefers tea bags over grinded tea leaves

not to mention he is allergic to Nicky's-concept-of-tea

Kevin actually takes his skin-care routine very seriously:

at first it may seem like he was dressing up for the occasion

until the foxes find out it's literally a part of his morning routine.

cleanser and simple clay face mask goes first

clean shave and aftershave liquid comes second

hair? shampooed twice, sometimes thrice a week and gel-ed up all time outside.

his skin is almost flawless, moisturizer doing it's job really well is just a bonus to his handsome model face.

well, you don't know when the paparazzi's might show up, right?

he has a image to preserve and oh, he does it so, so well.

'at least you can start taking care of that mess of a hair. you ARE an important part of the exy media for heaven's sake!', Kevin's word of wisdom to Neil goes off before any press routine

'yeah, whatever.' and Neil just shrugs him off like that, as if his cute/handsome face wasn't going in waste.

Kevin-media-trained-since-diapers does some sports related modeling campaign too

and he secretly enjoys the positive attention (since the end of Riko drama) but he would never admit it actually.

[janwixler]

I find it heart-clenching that Neil 'I've been lying about my parents since my mom died' Josten actually has a caring family on his mother's side?! Yes, I'm talking about his uncle Stuart Hatford. Of course, that family is equally fucked up as his father's but at least they would Protect Neil instead of cutting him in two halves. not to mention at the last match of TKM when every fox was meeting up with their families, Neil (admit it) being a little sad that there wasn't anyone for him to look up to, Stuart comes into the picture. Tell me Neil wasn't a bit happy then! Tell me he was trying to act so cool as to not care. well, he knew there was a fifty-fifty chance of staying alive after the match BUT he trusted his uncle enough to assassinate Proust and keep Andrew safe. Neil is actually aware of the little mafia/family power he holds! Neil Has a real Blood-line Family out there. maybe he won't be part of it but little did he know, they'll always want to protect and keep him safe.

[janwixler]

Neil and Jean had a deeper understanding with each other that anyone can never fully understand. I bet that Neil himself wouldn’t admit that but, it happened. The trust, the shoulder to lie on, a sense of relief and everything. It wasn’t temporary, even if it looked like it. The silence support was always there.

Even if Neil was a Raven, that thing wouldn’t change. it can’t and it won’t.

[janwixler]

Neil is just simply photogenic okay?!! Dan was surprised to find out at first. The picture she took on the airport was the first one of the next 100. she and the girls planned on sneaking pictures of him and sometimes with Andrew. A week before their graduation she gifts Neil a mini album with pics of him and Andrew. My boy Neil is SHOOK!

10 years later that Album can be found in a very safe place. And time to time he likes to talk with Andrew about the story behind every single picture.

Andrew surely amused, "are you actually sure of the behind stories or are you just making it up?"

Neil smiled a bit, "ofc i am sure, I would never dare to forget every single moment with you. Dan just photographed only a few of them"

Andrew glanced at that grinning bastard and looked away, trying to focus on whatever show they'd been watching.

[janwixler]

I find aftg in the most random places. Lemme give some example… xD

Kevin seemed like one of the most intimidating characters at first, mostly because of Neil’s pov, but his character completely broke whenever Riko did this and Riko did that etc etc. it shouldn’t be funny, considering there’s trauma involved, but I giggled. Like, Kevin became A Fucking Man-child, can’t function without Vodka, whines about Riko, mentally screaming all over the place, and there’s Neil. That bastard, fuelling up Riko’s fire like a spoiled child who likes to pick on others. Tell Me the Whole Thing isn’t funny!! and when Andrew was supposed to be the ‘sociopath twin’ and Aaron was supposed to be the ‘normal twin’ but it's actually vice versa. Andrew just wants to eat ice cream in peace and Aaron is just there, actively trying to make Neil look like a bad kid. I mean, These two are literally 13 years old deep down!!

[janwixler]

Andrew was in that car.

he was ready to die with tilda.

how can one wants to cause a car accident while being inside the car itself?

death seemed nice after all.

Aaron says he killed her mother.

not once said ‘oh God, are you okay? You could’ve died with your stupid plan’

but he didn’t.

maybe Aaron wanted him dead.

he was supposed to be the only son of her mother.

maybe he was his evil doppelgänger or the devil itself disguised in his own face.

‘you are a mistake,’ Aaron yelled while Andrew was in the ground, who silently took his punch straight in the face.

‘you should’ve been the one in the grave. Why didn’t you die with her?’

little did he knew, it was indeed part of Andrew’s plan too.

blood flowing from his nose with a sharp pain.

feeling.
