#but neil is different

[cubbyyyy]

the fact that neil chose andrew out of them all is so dear to me. that andrew chose neil out of them all is so dear to me. that they chose each other is so dear to me. and at the same time it seems inevitable? like of course they chose each other, like of course no one else would be possible. they are what the other needs and that’s why they last. they are so compatible it’s scary.

and the fact that nora said if andrew didn’t have neil he never would’ve gotten happiness proves my point. I know some want to have the whole “you don’t need anyone to be happy” kind of mindset but in my book you’ll always gonna need people. It’s inevitable. and not finding the one who gets you, can make you miserable. It’s hard to find, but it’s so so sweet when you do and I’m so glad andrew got blessed with it. He got the one. and through hard work (therapy etc) he made him last. neil never became the one who got away because andrew worked hard enough to not self sabotage anymore. he learned to recognize neil as a good thing, an important thing and eventually he learns that neil feels the same and will never be the one to hurt him. he won’t be like tilda. so they make it last. and that’s everything.

if someone comes forward with their story about being raped or sexually assaulted by your fav celebrity artist and your first instinct is “im so disappointed I can’t enjoy his characters anymore :(” you’re literally fucked in the head . some of you are way too grown to be detached from the reality like this. we are in a lack of empathy epidemic. yes im talking about Neil gaiman and his fans .

I feel like we don’t talk enough about Andrew’s “tell me no” after their first kiss, like Andrew likes Neil so much he doesn’t trust himself to stop, but he knows he would if Neil asked him to.

I think when Neil kisses him back Andrew realizes his feelings could be reciprocated and that scares him. Like I think a small part of him wanted Neil to reject him because he’s familiar with people rejecting him. Meanwhile, Neil makes an active effort to understand him and he stays with the foxes for him. I know a lot of people suggest Andrew stops because he felt that he made Neil uncomfortable, but by the way Neil reacts I would say it’s because Neil reciprocated the kiss and Andrew wasn’t fully expecting that.

Happy Birthday Neil, you deserve all the happiness in the world ♡

neil canonically uses his mother’s British accent when he’s traveling overseas so can we imagine maybe a group trip with either the monsters or maybe all the foxes (or maybe just him an andrew, if andrew consented to the long plane ride in any of these scenarios) and neil just slips into a fucking accent none of the foxes have ever heard him use before, and he does it like its his natural accent and not put-on at all.

i cant decide which is better: neil doing it on purpose just to see their faces or him doing it on accident and being confused by their faces.

the really great thing about all for the game is that you can binge it all in two days and then never stop thinking about it

the shower scene this, the shower scene that

what no one talks about though is how andrew took his armbands off.

Of course it wasn’t to keep them from getting wet; the shirt he kept wearing disapproves that. It was part of their truth. He saw neils bare scars and answered with his own. One vulnerable part for another.

That’s what we should be talking about

Kinda crazy how after Neil and Andrew kiss for the first time Neil literally thinks to himself that he doesn’t “look at Matt or Nicky differently” which implies that he 1. Thought kissing Andrew once had the potential to immediately turn him gay 2. That how he looked at Kevin wouldn’t be a good marker of this

Like it was literally just one sentence that I honestly don’t think I even caught my first read or two, but makes me pretty sure that Neil had the exact train of thought of “huh I guess I liked kissing Andrew. Does that make me gay? Lemme check” *looks at Nicky* “…hmm no” *looks at Matt* “….still no… ok so I’m definitely not gay for those two…”

Okay, I might be kinda insane but hear me out:

Neil looking out of the window is a symbolism for him yearning for his dreams.

At first when his father made him quit the school annual, he stared out to the school ground through closed windows. It's like he could see what he wanted but could not reach it.

When Neil got the part as Puck, we see him rehearsing his lines at dawn, glancing out of the window again. He was still unable to actually follow his dreams, yes, but now he could see the first glimpses of what's it's like to be free. He could see the beginning.

And finally, right before Neil's death, he looked out to his dreams one last time. This time, however, the window was opened, but it's snowing outside. He could go out if he wanted, but he would freeze. He could continue pursuing his passions, but he would ultimately meet his demise.

whatever you do, don't imagine andrew minyard holding his two fingers to neil's wrist to feel his pulse whilst he sleeps, to make sure he's alive and real, when they're sharing a hospital bed following the ravens vs. foxes game where they both were attacked and couldn't get to each other :)
