Hi!! Don't mind me, I just live for Gawain and Lancelot. 🥹 For the ship questions, can you do: 6. How do their personalities complement each other? How do they clash?

I always love more perspectives on them for ~research~

hi hi!! thank u for the ask i live for them as well :3 How do their personalities complement each other? in terms of on the battlefield, they balance each other out nicely what with lancelot having no self preservation skills and gawain exercising a healthy amount of caution, so he frequently is not too far behind lancelot, watching his back. in their personal life they conduct themselves. very differently. but this more often than not leads to positive outcomes! lancelot has a very small social battery and often times due to overwhelm, will be non or semi verbal. Times like this is when gawain does what he does best which is Talk. That man is a Certified Yapper, and it helps take the attention off lancelot which he appreciates immensely. Another way they complement each other is with cuddling! i hc that lancelot runs pretty cold, and gawain hot due to him being Solar Powered, so cold nights in their chambers are easily fixed when your dynamic is furnace bf/freezer bf. Gawain is also fairly tense and high strung. frequently. (he's got some slight control issues so when something doesn't go 100% it can make him a bit anxious) lancelot is more laid back and chill and most the time this helps gawain Relax but it can def cause problems too.

How do their personalities clash? Like i said above! gawain is very high strung and struggles to see the bigger picture sometimes which can lead to him acting like the world is ending at, what is in reality, a small inconvenience lmao. During the start of their relationship this would def cause problems, as lancelot ultimately seeks to solve problems and Did Not Realize gawain didn't want solutions, he just wanted to bitch abt the problem for a bit. But as their relationship progressed they got a lot better at communicating clearly what they wanted/needed <33. Their room is also FULL of them clashing! lancelot is not a big fan of bright/light rooms where gawain isn't a fan of the darkness so there's a few disagreements on the curtain situation. lancelot also (when he has the energy) keeps his stuff tidy and. doesnt own very much. where gawain is a bit of a mess and a trinket guy!! lancelot has no problem with keeping sentimental things but he does have a bit of an issue with gawain bringing in rock number 14569 because its "very pretty and shiny look at it lancelot!" literal crow behavior but like. adhd crow. god i did not mean to write this much i am so sorry skdjfhusdijokl but thank you for the ask!!!!!

[iron-sides]

Yes I am interested, explain away aftg :3

yayyyyy

TW: mentions of rape, extended references to a cult, a shit load of violence, murder, etc. drugs mentioned and really unsafe ways of getting sober. none of this is particularly graphic bc this is a summary but the book contains extended graphic discussions of all these topics and i cant exactly brush over them since theyre lowkey the whole book

okay so the first thing u have to understand about hit trilogy all for the game by nora sakavic is that its mostly about asking the question: "what if the yakuza was running a college sports cult in west virginia?"

And you may be thinking: if theyre in america, shouldnt it be the mob? no. other characters are in the mob. yet ANOTHER character is in a british crime firm (can u believe they call them firms in englans i googled this just for this dude). its specifically the yakuza who are running the exy cult.

now i can hear you asking: "exy? what the hell is exy?"

exy is the fictional sport nora invented for the series. around thirty to forty percent of the cast are deeply deeply obsessed with it. like-- risk your life to play on a really good team for three months and then accept your slow painful death obsessed. ans you may say, wow bee thats a reall specific example

THAT IS THE FIRST THING NEIL JOSTON (main character) DOES. well technically first he lets his cigarette burn down to the filter without taking a drag, but right after that the coach of the psu foxes is like "hey wanna play exy" and hes like. no! so kevin day (famous, his mom is 1/2 of invented exy duo, raised in aforementioned college exy yakuza cult by the other half of invented exy duo. UNTIL his dominant (left) hand was mysteriously broken in a ski accident like six months ago and he left to join the foxes.) is like hey. join my exy team. and neil LOOSES HIS MIND because it turns out!!!! his SERIAL KILLER MOB BOSS DAD IS BROS WITH YAKUZA CULT LEADER TETSUJI MORIYAMA AND HE AN KEVIN MET AS KIDS. but kev doesnt recognize him bc hes wearing brown contacts (blue eyes) ans brown hair dye (redhead). hes been on the run from the mob since he was like nine or something. this is all exposition btw this is all fucking backstory the neil bits are from ch 1 and the kev/yakuza cult bits are from later on after neil joins kevins exy team. he said fucking yes. because ANDREW MINYARD CLOTHSELINES HIM WITH A RACKET. like lacrosse exy has rackets and like hockey the players are constantly getting in physical fights.

so this is happening at all bc u reblogged aftg fanart from me so! andrew was the blonde guy there are neil was the redhead.

thats not going to be reliably the case tho bc a) neil for like half of book 1 has brown hair and brown eyes and b) andrew has an identical twin brother.

so now a brief introduction to the foxes so i can talk abt aaron bc i love him. fyi the foxes whole schtick is that they all have tragic backstories

coach david wymack-- says the r slur like 4? times in three books bc its 2006. secretly kevins dad.

01 captain dan wilds-- dealer (position) (idfk what they do tbh) stripped in high school idr why. first female captain in ncaa history. upperclassmen (as in this is the name of her clique but also shes a senior)

02 kevin day-- striker (offense) famous person. still recovering from being in that cult forever. plays with his non-dominant hand bc hed kill himself if he stopped playing exy. monster (clique name hes my bbygirl. idk why they have such clear & overt clique names they just all hate each other at the start) (dw neils got that shonen anime protag aura (nosiness) he fixes that)

03 andrew minyard-- goalie (goalie) kevins guard dog lowkey. locked his brother in a bathroom for two weeks to get him sober after killing their mom (they didnt catch him dw). was raised in the foster care system THIS WENT POORLY FOR HIM. love interest 🫶🏻 threatens to kill any girl his brother dates. bc. its complicated he has reasons but like 😭 king hes a monster btw like the clique hes why they call them that

04 matt boyd-- backliner (defense) used to be on heroin but not anymore :) hes neils buddy!! his mom is a rick new york lawyer (plot relevent) upperclassmen

05 aaron minyard-- backliner (defense) MY FUCKINF GUYYYY he hates gay people but hes not homophobic he just hates all the gay people he knows bc theyre dickheads. hes in premed and has a cheerleader gf (also in premed) hes hiding from andrew bc andrew Will kill her. hes andrews idential twin btw. he used to be addicted to heroin but then andrew locked him in the bathroom until he got sober. monster <3

06 seth gordon-- striker (offense) homophobic 💔 hes like. Still addicted to drugs? kind of? hes doing his best but he dies like halfway through its like actually devastating fr too bc he was getting better :/ his clique all washed out after last year (hes a 5th year) but hes on again off again w allison whos an upperclassman so he hangs w them

07 allison reynolds-- dealer (i still dk what they do) shes like if paris hilton was REALLY into football like so much so she got disowned. thats allison w exy. shes still rich and shit but like her family HATESSS HER. she used to have an ed but not anymore i think? upperclassman, dated seth

08 nicky hemmick-- backliner (defense) NICKYYYYY hes the twins' gay cousin except andrews also gay nickys just like a harmful stereotype abt it. and i do mean that for book 1 hes like weirdly hypersexual and pushy abt being into neil. but my theory is this was a 24-7 bit he was doing to piss seth off bc he knocks it off after seth dies. still a harmful stereotype but whatevr. he has a bf in germany that hes like in LOVE with. he moved back to the states to be the twins guardian after andrew killed their mom but theyre both assholes and dickheads 😭 hes goin through it. his dads like evil evil both his parents are homophobic but his dad like. gets andrew raped in book two (? i think? mightve been 3 i think it was 2 tho) its BAD. hes a monster w his lil guysss

09 renne walker-- goalie (goalie) born again christian who used to be in a gang <33 neil is like. afraid of her. she and andrew get in weekly fistfights where she kicks his ass lol another upperclassmen

10 neil josten-- striker. on the run. from. everything. crazy person about exy. #1 kevin day fan, #1 andrew minyard defender. in bith cliques through the power of his big wet eyes

basically the clique sitch is the girls & matt (+seth) vs the cousins + hangers-on (kev and neil) it's a whole thing u would NOT believe.

and now that ive set the scene and given most of the backstory, an abbreviated list of REAL THINGS that happened in this series

- neil goes on a talk show, riko moriyama (yakuza cult jesus, used to keep kev as a pet) is there. neil calls him a little bitch to his face on live tv. riko uses his fingerprints on the cup he was using to figure out that serial killer dad situation.

-riko kills seth over this lol

-at a fancy ncaa banquet we meet JEAN MOREAU i fuckin love this guy. let me grab you some quotes rq

ok these ate just some of my personal favorite bits of the banquet in book 2 with commentary <3

ok for The you know i get it speech you will have to ignore the pangi stream i have pulled up shhhh its not covering anything important :) basically riko insults neils mom and he SNAPS. he has a number of speeches like this, several he makes on live tv. i have this one MEMORIZED it goes so hard

i just like this one :) jean moreau is tortured by riko on the reg btw thats important info u shld have hes been rikos personal punching bag for around 3 years at this point and rikos been REALLY bad since kev left which was almost a year ago here

^ for reference those are the fake names neil went by while on the run in europe. also for reference as revealed in book 4/book 1 of the jean duology (trilogy?) neil was meant to be his partner* in the nest** so him having been on the run at all is kind of a deep personal betrayal even tho theyve never met

* guy you are with 100% of the time never in different rooms have all ur classes together roomies share punishments built-in codependency issues

**the cult lives in "the nest" which is located UNDER THEIR EXY STADIUM??? 😭

-the next like Big Thing is rlly awful in a realistic not insane way but lowkey needed for context so i can only be not that funny about it uh. basically at thanksgiving nickys dad makes sure that one of andrews former foster brothers, who had sexually abused him, has the chance to do it again. and then aaron fucking kills him (the abuser) with an exy racket. so andrew has to go off his antipsychotics (he doesnt need them theyre court mandated its complicated) at a fancy rehab place

-at the OTHER fancy ncaa banquet, while andrews gone, rikos like "lol ok so neil so u have to come stay at the nest or im going to make sure andrews therapy included corrective rape heres ur tickets" so obvs neil goes

-in the nest this is basically how things go:

riko: JOIN MY EMO EXY TEAM

neil: KILL URSELF

jean: neil stfu

(neil & jean but mostly neil gets tortured)

repeat ad infinitim. riko also dyes neils hair back to red and hed already stopped w the contacts so hes au natruale now except his new tattoo

ok so now i have to explain the perfect court :)

when they were little kids riko nd kev Knew they were the heirs to the sport (bc rikos uncle and kevs mom invented it rmbr) so theyd go around drawing numbers on their faces in sharpie to be like well be the best!!!! riko has always been 1 and kev has always been 2. they became tattoos when they turned 16 or smth. neil was meant to be 3 but he was on the run. jean joined up (was sold to the yakuza to pay off a debt) at 16 and became 3 instead. kev Wanted andrew to join back when he was in the cult but andrew was like fuck u kys i hate exy.

anyway neil gets a 4 tattoo and says this to the press lol

hes such a little shit </3

anyway! hes on the news looking exactly like his serial killer dad and his licmers gets broken into and faje blood dumped on all his things-- that was what was up in the fanart

ultimately he gets kidnapped but his british crime firm uncle stuart kills his dad tbh i kind of dgaf abt this whole subplot i have rlly bad raven blinders 😭 like where is jean!!!!!!! i miss him :((

oh hey speaking of jean!! after. That. the foxes go on vacation right bc its spring break and shit except halfway through jean calls renee on the BRINK OF DEATH bc riko took neil not being dead REAL BAD. so they break jean out but in the book this is all offscreen bc neils too fucked up to go and hes our only pov. BUT on tumblr noras posted (oh btw nora who wrote these books is active on tumblr its crazy) a oneshot basically (??) from renees pov of this and its GREAT she has to drag him out kicking and screaming but HES OUT OF THE CULT YIPPEE he crashes on the foxes' nurse's couch the rest of the book.

so now the ravens, minus their beat striker (kev) minus their beat backliner (jean) are up against the foxes at their all time strongest

this seems like a great time to tell u have kevin broke his hand. it was NOT a skii accident. everyone found out hes a better striker than riko and riko BROKE HIS HAND about it. so.

oh ALSO immediately before this kevin gets his 2 tat covered up w a chess queen :) hes gonna be the strongest piece on the board :)

anyway the foxes win :) epic moments from this game include:

-KEVIN SWITCHING BACK TO HIS DOMINANT HAND its so cool its so cool its so cool. its so awesome

-NEIL PLAHS BACKLINER!!! he played backliner in little league and at the nest but hes been a striker all year so him switching positions mid game fucks so hard its so awesome

-at the end wjen the foxes win neils like "haha this must sting riko but ig youve always known what is to be second best" and riko tries to kill him so andrew BREAKA HIS ARMMMM LETSS GOOOII with a racket again :) yayy

-rikos yakuza brother ends up killing him, tetsuji (actually a much bigger villain than ive made him seem i just like riko way more) goes to jail and "kills himself", neil jean and kev escape from the cult if not the yakuza (they have to give the yakuza like 60% of their exy salary until they die) happy ending :))

also through ALL OF THIS there is an exy game EVERY WEEK and every exy game is described in detail 😭 and given like. weight. like its SERIOUS to neil lmao

also also i totally forgot to mention this but the reason neil stops wearing his contacts is bc andrew nicky aaron and kev take him to the club for the first time and theyre like you are NOT wearing brown contacts to the gay club we (aaron andrew nicky) worked at in hs :/ u have to look HOT also while theyre there andrew gets nicky to drug neil so neil pays a bouncer to knock him out and then when he wakes up in their house the next morning he jumps out their bathroom window and hitchhikes & walks 71 MILES back to campus. he ends up going to the club with them like every other week btw

ok thats my summaryy :) i named myself after the foxes therapist that neils scared of (bee short for betsy) (im just bee not betsy but yk)

(Reference under the cut)

A/N; working on alll of ur requests rn sweeties!!! It's gonna take me a good while tho, so here is a lil sum sum I wrote abt the guys sum time ago ^^ Hope u enjoy my late night yapping and plzzzz be patient with meeee, I didn't forget ur requests my lovelys!!!

Random/unpopular headcanons of Weird stuff they do! (MDNI! SFW ans NSFW)

ZAYNE

SFW

Drink his coffee HORENDOUSLY. It looks like a brew straight out of hell. Honestly, it’s closer to motor oil than anything drinkable.

Eats like a pregnant woman with the wildest cravings. I’m convinced he mixes sweets with damn near everything, pickles with ice cream, shit like that.

Uhhh, I also think he’s messy??? Like, his house looks tidy at first glance— floors clean, dishes done, nothing crazy. But if you actually live with him, you realize he doesn’t have time to handle allat!!! There’s always clothes flying around, jackets tossed over chairs, hoodies crumpled on the couch, random socks disappearing into the void. Not necessarily dirty clothes, just... clothes littered across the house. It's like he tries to stay organized, but life moves too fast and the laundry pile moves faster.

NSFW

Tries to optimize things. It's kinda weird but also hot??? "What if we adjust the angle by 12 degrees—oh. Oh, that's better."

One time, he came with one hand on the wall like a man in mourning and didn't say a word, just stood there. (Post-nut trauma pose lmaooo)

Looses track of time when he's with u. You've been at it for 3 hours with barely any break before he realized that he has 2 hours of sleep left before he has to get up for work. But he'll worry about that in the morning.

He's giving you a clinical review when you ride him. "Your pelvic tilt just now was exceptional. Ten out of ten."

SYLUS

Bro im ngl… i feel like he's a hoarder. Antique stuff probs like old pennies from 1500s or sum shi.

Props a history nerd on the low. Knows every event ever happening around the word from the stone age to modern times. (Rants to you about them sometimes)

Caffeine Dependency, But in odddd forms.He refuses to drink normal coffee so, instead, he's obsessed with fancy stuff like matcha lattes, cold brew espresso, or even herbal teas that are supposed to enhance mental focus. If you catch him on a "bad caffeine day," you'll see him get irritated if he had to settle for a drink that doesn't meet his exacting standards (He's gonna pull out the glock ain't he).

NSFW

Discovered his wax kink one time when candle wax happend to drip on him turing sexy time, and he moaned so loud it scared you. That's when you both began to involve wax as a main actor during the act more often.

Oh he's soooo horny when you patch him up after a deal gone wrong. Grows soooo hard when you're shocked self runs up to his all bloodied form:(( Just such big baby and a suckerrr for your nursing skills!!!

Guns are everywhere. Like, casually. Sometimes there's one just sitting on the nightstand, loaded, of course— the barrel practically staring at you while he's fucking you. It's kinda terrifying if you think about it too hard.

Okay, hear me out!!!! When he's really exhausted, like dead-on-his-feet exhausted, he comes home, takes a quick, half-awake shower, then just slumps onto the bed, still wet, still half-dressed, a lit cigar hanging from his lips as you ride him. He's barely doing anything, just lying there with this lazy, heavy-lidded look, letting you use him however you want. Smoke curling up toward the ceiling, his body all warm and loose under your hands. It’s messy, raw, and honestly addicting if you admit.

CALEB

SFW

Constantly challenges himself to do backflips in inappropriate places. "Bet I can flip off this railing" No, Caleb. You can't. But he does it anyway(urghhh). It's even grown to a point that he makes a quick backflip when you two meet up as agreeting mane. It's sooo embarrassing when the bystanders eye him but he thinks it's soooo cold LMAOOO

Caleb still doesn't know how to use a lot of things properly. He'll try to fix things around the house and end up breaking them worse than they were. You'll catch him watching YouTube tutorials, struggling with the basics of cooking, or just trying to figure out how something works.

NSFW

Tries to make you laugh mid-stroke. Literally says stuff like "What would you do if I'd start moonwalking right now?" You're crying laughing while he's still inside you.

He high fives you after sex. Every damn time. Yep. Its canon bc i said so!

Treats you on top as if he's ur personal trainer. "Yeahhh, get those megan-kness working. One, two, three— heyheyhey you gotta put your legs into it!“

XAVIER

SFW

Despite him sleeping so damn much, I feel like hes a light sleeper. If you move away slightly his eyes shoot open bruh. (They also glow in the dark and scare the shit out of you when ypu come back to the room after taking a piss)

Incredible memory for faces, but not names. He can remember every single detail about a person's face—the way they looked when they smiled, the exact way they tilted their head during conversation—but when it comes to their names? Not a clue. He js couldn't give less of a fuck.

Always late for your dates. At least half an hour. Not bc he's been sleeping but because he's so slowww man! You're so mad bc you can't teleport like a certain someone cough cough, but still manage to show up on time!!! And when he shows up he acts so innocent and clueless as if you didn't wait for him for half an hour.

NSFW

Thinks it's soooo sexy when you scold him. Say his full name with force and he's rock solidddd 'm tellin youuuu!!!

Always insists on so much foreplay it's frustrating. Don't get me wrong it's sexy! ....until it's been 45 minutes and you’re still begging for him to finally put it in.

Has a thing for u playing with his hair, especially if you pull it when he's eatin you out. But even if you just genuinely move it out of his face after a heated make-out shesh, he whines as if you got his dick in a headlock (you do).

RAFAYEL

Props has a journal and draws little doodles of you next to his entry of the day!! When he's feeling espacially romantic, he'll begin with a small doodle but get lost in it end end up drawing the most breathtaking portrait of you. He hides the journal too, a bit too embarrassed to show you his rambles of how much in love he is with you. Yeahhh for his eyes only!

Rafayel is full of bizarre superstitions. He's the type to refuse to walk under a ladder, always carries a lucky charm, and insists that everything happens for a reason. If you spill salt, you're definitely going to have to throw it over your left shoulder. Was a literal sea god but bad luck are the most of his worries ig...

His desk is a mess, but somehow everything is in its right place. Papers are scattered everywhere, but you can not touch them. He has his own chaotic filing system, and God help you if you try to reorganize anything.

NSFW

Sucker for you when ur in heels. I dare you to step on his foot by accident in heels!!(he almost came in his pants). Loves to fuck you in heels from that point onwards.

Ok so this is ridiculous but I have this headcanon that you both made out in the ocean once and got so into it that you didn't notice rafayel turned into a merman until his fishtail grazed your legs and you fucking screamed for your life. He had to make it up with some sloppy toppy head underwater ofc!!!

Will literally stop mid stroke to get his sketchbook and sketch you when he has the urge to capture your beautiful form splawed out for him. Like, this is for him, like.... oh my godddd yu're so perfect???
