i love the idea that almost no one can pick up on the tiny shift in andrew's microexpressions or distinguish between basically any of his expressions at all other than aaron. not because of some twin telepathy thing but because i think it would be hilarious that the only other person than neil in a room full of the foxes that realizes andrew is eye-fucking neil is the last person who wants to know about it. cue aaron yelping in dramatic revulsion and pretending to gag while everyone asks him wtf is wrong and he just points at andrew like "look at him!!!" and then everyone looks at him and he looks the exact same as always. bored and blank. best poker face andrew minyard and aaron minyard the one man cursed to see it through it

twinyard hc that they bond as adults by calling each other to bitch about people.

A sleep deprived exhausted med student aaron would very randomly call andrew to shit on jeremy knox after watching an espn segment from the hospital waiting room, and watching people gush about him.

aaron, calling his brother for the first time in 4 months, from the hospital parking lot at 5 am on a wednesday: “i don’t care about jeremy knox, he is a average player at best, he is not interesting and im pretty sure he is not hot, even for gay standards.”

andrew, who was already awake bc neil had just begged for a kiss before going on his morning run at crack of dawn: “he is also very annoying, even by gay standards.”

aaron, feeling vindicated: “I KNEW IT.” end of the call.

2 week later:

andrew, after getting mildly injured at a game and having to stay in bed recovering for a few days, doing nothing but scrolling social media: “eric posts too many racy pictures of nicky on instagram and i can’t take it anymore he needs to die.”

aaron, doing a weird shift in the maternity ward where he has to interact with babies so they don’t become psychos or whatever: “GOD, I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS TO KATELYN FOR FOREVER! we should kill him.”

andrew: “christmas in germany this year.”

aaron: “yeah.” end call.

sorry guys but I still think that neil defending and arguing for andrew against fbi agents while he was suffering from being tortured just hours before is the hottest thing ever

Someone prolly already said this but imagine after the Riko Roast the Foxes just start saying “you know, I get it,” to each other all the time at any minor inconvenience or annoyance. It becomes their new team-wide inside joke. Nicky burns his toast and just looks at the toaster, “you know, I get it.” Dan and Allison talking with each other about an annoying prof, “you know, I get it.” Matt locks himself out of the room, “you know, I get it.”

Neil being annoyed/embarrassed by it only encourages them to do it more and they start dropping it all the time. Andrew says it to Aaron every chance he gets. Practice basically stops when Kevin finally says it for the first time after everyone keeps fumbling the new drill. Dan even catches Wymack saying it while on the phone with Andritch. The new freshmen have no idea where it came from but eventually they start using it too.

And when Neil finally gets fed up with someone else and uses it again a year and a half later at another banquet or event, the team dissolves into an uproar like they just won championships.

Write the plot twist. Write the forbidden romance. Write the line that makes your readers slam the book shut and SCREAM.

If you feel things when writing, your reader will too.

Its such a shame how people describe neil as “confused” when it comes to his feelings he literally never was he KNOWS he doesn’t swing until he does for andrew. And like the only reason he puts of thinking his feelings through is because he’s surviving, even then he knows he cares about andrew even before he realizes exactly where those feelings go.

[xlucygraysongbirdx]

How does it feel being judged by the two most annoying people in the world?

[xlucygraysongbirdx]

there's something about the fact that neil barely remembers his time at evermore and doesn't really talk about it and the fact that he just knows it was horrific and the fact that when wymack picked him up from the airport he looked beaten halfway to death and the fact that he was waterboarded and tortured so fucking badly and we only find out about it from jean's pov and the fact that jean describes him in the car ride to the airport "violently disassociating from riko's farewell party" and the fact that andrew asks jean "did grayson ever touch neil?" and the fact that no, grayson didn't, but if neil had been raped or sa'd in the nest he probably wouldn't even know it something about it just makes me want to curl into a ball and die.

No listen I will not shut up about the scene where Neil asks why Andrew would want to go through withdrawal for a game he doesn’t even like and Matt responds with “Would you want to be crazy high every day of your life?" because it showcases the fact that, despite their differences and disagreements, Matt understands this part of Andrew.

Matt has experienced addiction and he has gone through withdrawal and relapsed and gone through it again. He spent a year on the girls’ couch because he didn’t know how else to avoid going back to the drugs he’d worked to get off of. Andrew can’t do that: his high is legally mandated, and any attempt to circumvent risks leading him to a worse position. So of course he takes this opportunity to do it in a place where there’s some degree of protection, because the other people around him have a vested interest in keeping it a secret. Of course he wants to come off the drugs any time he can, if only to remember what it feels like to just exist. Matt can understand that.

And this moment where Matt is able to explain Andrew to Neil is so telling in regard to Matt’s relationship with the cousins: they aren’t close, and Matt doesn’t have the ability that Neil has to act as glue between them and the upperclassmen, but he is bridging the gap between the two groups as well as he can, working with the cousins to offer a strong, unified back line. He’s not about to let go of everything they do that’s shitty, and he’s down to fight them if the situation calls for it, but he’s also not dismissing them outright or shutting them out.

list of responses that wymack and abby have to add to ban neil from saying after he gets more creative than “I’m fine”

- it’s not too bad (he tried to come to practice with pneumonia)

- i’m managing perfectly well (his shoulder dislocated mid game)

- it’s nothing (grade 2 concussion)

- don’t worry about it (had a panic attack and coped by running a half marathon away from palmetto)
