Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
we need more autistic jocks btw. jocks who are obsessive nerds about their sport of choice. jocks who are rigid about their workout routines and obsessed with the math of performance statistics and nutrition and reps. jocks who don't have time for alcohol or misogyny because why are you guys chugging beer and trash talking we need to be TRAINING. guy with no tolerance for homophobia because Teammate Trevor is an integral part of the strategy play who cares who he's dating
more jocks whose sole interest is playing the game to the very best of their ability, and infodumping doing a play-by-play review immediately afterwards at the sports bar while his teammates are trying to just get drunk and decompress
Pride thoughtssss. Andrew gets to dress Neil up once more (I included my other thoughts of Neil in a mesh shirt bc why not)
And while we’re here choose a flavor of Kevi
Kevin "it's easier to be straight" Day
Andrew "it's easier not to want" Minyard
Nathaniel "it's easier not to hope" Wesninski
i know literally no one will see this but i’m starting a new instagram for aftg content so if you’re feeling like an idiot extra kind human today go check it out perhaps? it’s called @kevins.estranged.wife merci my esteemed comrades
"The Sunshine Court"
Nora. Where. Is. The. Sunshine.
I don’t feel like there is any sunshine or sunny thing IN THIS MF BOOK FULL OF TRAUMA.
Where is the sunshine Nora… where is it…
Andrew Minyard first join the PSU Foxes just to be able to make sure that Aaron could be a med student and a way to thanks Nicky for dropping everything in Germany for them.
We know the twin love each other really deeply but bc of what happened and their own internal struggles they can’t put words into this AND IT BREAKS MY HEART💔.
Then, disaster.
Kevin Day got his hand smashed like a cookie by Riko and ended up with the foxes, bro was so stressed about everything that Andrew took him under his wing to protect him.
+1 mafia traumatized kid who only lives for exy as a way to cope.
And then, another disaster.
Neil Josten tried to run away from everyone and got a exy racket smashing his stomach by a blond psycho short man, BOOM, join the foxes, BOOM, a millions problem got added since he was literally searched by the mafia for 8 years! And decided to drop everything for stick ball? Andrew and his gay ass did not manage to look away and after making sure Neil was not a threat (he actually is but against his will), he took Neil under his wing to protect too.
+1 mafia traumatized kid who only lives for exy as a way to cope.
Andrew Minyard, the man you are🔥
Bro took every hot mafia traumatized kid and declared they were his and NO ONE said anything to that, AURA + ♾️
(Bonus point for dating Neil Josten after all the shit this ginger caused)
“It was not only Riko’s fault, I don’t blame him..- BLAH BLAH BLAH” BITCH???? All the shit he did against everyone in aftg just bc he’s bitchy is really close to being call war crimes
Riko hater 4 lifer🔥
His death was not painful enough, just a shot in his head? Bitch be more creative next time.
Yeah I get it that he also had a fucking shitty childhood but so does EVERYONE else in the books, and yet none of them have done all the shit he did.
(What he did to Neil during Christmas break, all he did to Jean for years, how he treated Kevin, and also Andrew with Drake and Proust)
BURN IN HELL YOU UGLY JAPANESE HOE
Kevin Day:// All For The Game
In England, in a town called Uckfield, there is a skate, surf and snowboard shop on the high street. It’s called pipedreams. Which automatically reminds me of Andreil.
Maybe Neil owns a extreme sports shop in the uk and Andrew is travelling with Kevin and they go to get equipment.
(I sort of think that Neil would be a kickass skater/snowboarder. Maybe Andrew is a skier? Or he surfs?)
But they meet and get all competitive and the story goes on from there?
Someone one expand this idea please!
Did anyone ever write a fic about like, Neil dies there but Kevin never tells the foxes who he was bc he knows it's too late
And now Kevin is the only person that ever got to know both Neil josten and Nathaniel wesninsk, he is the only one who knows how deep Neil's secrets vent and for the rest of his life he will carry it with him ?
I feel like we as a society don't acknowledge often enough that Neil was convinced and waiting on his death for months and no one around him knew until he told Kevin
Neil was 18 at the time
When he ended his protection pact with Andrew so Andrew wouldn't get caught in the crossfire iirc he was freshly 19
We joke about him ignoring the countdown texts but he knew exactly what they meant and he was so tired of running fighting and collateral he saw no other options
Like do you realize how horrifc that is
it's tupperwares full of shredded cheese (they all have their own container)
i'm also not projecting btw
Guys, what do we think is in that cheese drawer in the monsters' dorm? Is it shredded cheese? Do they like Babybels? Does Kevin buy some fancy cheese that he doesn't let anyone else touch? Does Kevin buy protein cheese? (Ew) Does Andrew just buy whole blocks of cheese like cheddar or Jarlsberg and just take bites out of it as a snack? (Definitely not projecting) What's in the cheese drawer? I need to know everyone's opinion on this.
Somebody must have already pointed this out, but I havent seen it yet, so I will anyways
But, this is literally almost the same dynamic and not only I love it, but I will die on this hill
We have:
- Short red head who is inexperienced at the beggining, constantly tells people that are better then him that he is gonna beat them (and in fact does beat them). Plays mostly on instinct and has a huge amount of potencial and talent
-Taller with black hair who has had problems in his previous team, is known for being rude, kind of bossy and constantly and blatantly tells people their technical faws. Plays with sharp precision and wits, also has a huge amount of talent
-Taller one becomes sort of a mentor figure to our shorty, but at the same time, they both are constantly competing with each other
-Become partners and push each other to the top of their potentials
-Both are completly obsessed with their sports, will practice non stop after practice hours
-Will argue with each other ALL THE TIME(thats basically their default mode), you will know things are serious if they stop talking to each other
Wymack sitting at the funeral of Riko, the dude who was his estranged son’s codependent brother, who treated him as a pet and mentally and physically abused and tortured him for years. The same dude who also physically abused and orchestrated the gang rape of said estranged son’s best friend. Who then blackmailed one of your players, who knew your son from years back, and let Riko beat the shit out of him over Christmas break because he didn’t want his situation-ship to get hurt, who is your estranged brothers codependent bestie and protector - who riko also orchestrated the abuse of anyway. And then your team proceeded to beat him in the championships, where he tried to kill one said player before the other broke his arm and then his brother who runs the Japanese mafia killed him and framed it as a suicide. And now you sitting next to said estranged son, who people blame his death on, watching him grieve this absolute psychopath cause that’s just how much he fucked him up.
Wymack: *thank god this isn’t awkward or anything*
Kevin at this moment: WHAT ARE YOU BOTH THINKING??? WHAT ABOUT YOUR CAREERS???
*proceeds in a half an hour long rant about how not only their Exy skills, but also their public image is important to make Court(and according to him both of their public images are already damaged enough)
*Neil tells him that if they are already damaged, then there is no problem in making it a little worse
*Andrew tells him to stfu
*Kevin shuts up, looking with discontet at the both of them
Kevin hates them (not really)
At first it was just an andreil sketch
I love Jean's POV because that mtf lies so much to himself that at some point, if you dont pay attention, even you start believing him
In the interview part, Kevin gets super mad because the interviewer suggests the Trojans made a mistake signing Jean, this is the first time ever he breaks his "public persona" and it is clearly because he got mad they were attacking Jean
Meanwhile Jean Moreau is out there thinking "Wonder if Kevin slipped like that because they talked badly of the Trojans or because of the alcohol"🤡
And it is not just with Kevin
EVERY TIME someone does something good to him or defends him, this mtf finds every possible reason for it under the Sun, except admitting this person cares and want him well
Jeremy is worried about him? Must be because Jeremy doesnt want him to be an obstacle to the team
Rhemann asks if he is okay? Must be because he is a terrible a player and is disappointing Rhemann on the Court
His other teammates want to spend time with him on the bus? Cant find the reason, but there nust be something
It is absolutely not his fault, and it in fact breaks my heart everytime
I just wish he could see how amazing he is and how much people actually care and like him
Kevin Day, the only character in the world who manages to be a perfect 50/50 split between girlboss and boyfailure
a kevjean edit to irish orpheus? more likely than you’d think
first ever edit, pretty fitting that it’s kevin day-related tbh
I haven't seen anyone commenting on this, but did yall noticed Kevin and Andrew were sharing the SAME bag for their LA trip???
Like, they brought one single carry-on, with all of their things for the trip on it (probably with their cloths kind of mixed in there too)
Andrew Minyard, who is super protective of his space and things, is out here sharing a bag with Kevin Day
Nora, please, don't make me dream
I will collapse, Im not joking
God, I live off the crumbs that Nora gives and I still beg for more
Riko spent his free time obsessing over Kevin
Nora confirmed he watched the first time Kevin had sex(he chose the girl) and the first time he had sex with Thea (absolutely not weird at all)
The other way he spent his free time was torturing Jean and also obsessing with him, to the point he noticed Jean liked man just bc of the way he looked at Kevin (I mean, why are you looking so much at the both of them???)
When Neil was in Evermore, part of the torture included cuffing him shirtless to Kevin's old bed (dude, wtf????)
Riko got mad with the idea of having a queer on his Perfect Court, but somebody should have told this kid the call was coming from inside the house all along
“I will not have queers on my court”
The court in question:
Andrew - gay
Neil - has a gay boyfriend
Jean - bisexual disaster
Jeremy - very gay
Kevin - suppressed sexuality to the point of dissociation
Riko - insane internalized homophobia
One day, while Kevin and Neil are having a heated argument in French on the court one of the freshmen yells:
"Speak English!"
Annoyed by the intrusion, Kevin and Neil share a look and silently decide on malicious compliance.
Neil, though born in America, was raised by his British mother and would use a British accent whenever they spoke English in Europe to blend in.
Kevin is Irish. Born in Ireland, raised by his Irish mother until her untimely death.
They both switch to their 'mother tongues', speaking English but in thick British and Irish accents.
The team can barely understand them. Reprimands and insults are met with confusion. The freshmen are frantic, trying to figure out how to correct their technique when they can only understand every few words. The upperclassmen can't stop laughing, Matt and Allison are trying to repeat some of the words in mock British and Irish accents.
Andrew is in silent turmoil as he discovers a new turn on with an hour of practice still to go.
something about jean having to live under the ground in the nest for so long but the people he loves are from the sky
renee is a rainbow. kevin is a star. jeremy is the sun.
If that right here isnt a print from the chat between Kevin and Andrew, then Im crazy
This is 100% cannon, it is true, I was the cellphone
Forever a Kandreil shipper
But also, it is important to note that, independently of any romantic feelings they might have for each other, Neil and Andrew both care deeply for Kevin
Kevin has become a part of Andrew's considered family. For Andrew, Kevin is his ppl and will always be. If you mess with Kevin, you mess with Andrew. Even after the deals are over (his with Kevin and with Neil), Andrew still takes them to the Court at night, bc those are his ppl, his family.
Neil literally decided to stay on the Foxes because in his own words, between him and Kevin, one of them had to live. He wanted to make sure Kevin would be able to outlive it all, bc he was sure he wouldnt. In the Foxhole Court he says that if something happenned to Kevin, he wouldnt be able to handle receiving the news on the other side of the world, he needed to be there, with him.
Neil was basically the one who convinced Kevin to stop accepting being number 2 when everyone knew he was better then Riko. He cared about Kevin and wanted to see him in his rightful place as the best striker, he could literally not bare to see someone he cared about holding themselfs down.
Both of them in canon have a deep connection with Kevin. The inverse is also true for Kevin, that also deeply cares about them.
Thats why he gets so mad when he sees that Andrew doesnt take Exy seriously, or why he accepted to keep on helping Neil in the Court, even when he found out Neil was basically a living-dead, walking around on borrowed time. Thats also why he made sure Neil knew he would be there if Neil wanted to talk after arriving from Evermore(even though he is terrible at dealing with emotions), or why he didnt want Neil to go in the first place.
Denying how much they care about each other ir absolutely CRAZY. Even if you dont believe there is romantic or sexual attraction (which would mean you are wrong), denying there is at least platonic love between them is just kind of stupid
Very random but I just saw social media posts that were funny but also do not seem to understand how much Neil and Andrew love Kevin (though they are also all cunts to each other) and do not have that underlying care within them and I had to leave and Became Distraught. Back to the kandrew tag with me. When will everyone understand The Love There. That’s their best friend even if you don’t ship kandreil (I will never stop shipping kandreil and do literally like it more than just the two of them alone however. Which is just basic math because then there’s more things I like in there when you add those other dynamics)
kandreil is real till I die and 200 centuries after that!!! also you're right Andrew and Neil are deeply in love with Kevin even if they don't want to cross the line between their weird friendship and even more weird 'nothing'... they do respect Kevin's choice to remain straight... if he'd only made the first move... oh andrew would crash him between his fingers
it's sad ofc that sometimes people see kandreil as a weird thing from drafts or a sexy threesome but honestly we should bring our hopes up and make kandreil great again!! live laugh love kandreil 💋
So I have been thinking and I noticed one kind of disturbing thing in the backstories revealed in TGR
So, we all know Jean tried to end his own life at the Nest and Riko tortured him for it and then locked him basically on a box with breathing holes
During the time Jean was locked in there, Kevin went to talk to him and made him promise to not try it again, bc he wouldnt be able to handle being left alone with Riko again (before Jean's arrival when they were all 14ish, it was just Kevin and Riko). Jean promised it to him, and not matter how much he wanted to, he never dared to break the promise, even after Kevin had left.
Riko never knew this talk or this promise happened, which means that this mtf probably thought the reason why Jean never tried to kill himself again was bc of the torture he faced after he tried it 🤡
Like, Riko was probably outhere thinking that locking someone up in a coffin for days is a super effective way to prevent future suicide attempts (kinda ironic since Riko died of "suicide", aah the karma that came to this little bitch will never not me amazing to me)
Anyways, just wanted to share with yall my disturbing thought of the night
Then proceeds to say he hates Kevin
I love them both so much 🥺🥺🥺
Their interactions make me wanna hug my pillow, crawl in fetal position and just stay there forever. At the same time I wanna punch a wall, bc how could Riko and Tetsuji hurt so much those two beatifull souls and also make them hurt each other just to survive
I swear, I cant
the way jean speaks about and interacts with kevin is so… *gestures vaguely*
“he has earned the right to be arrogant” SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
“stupid, beautiful kevin” oh! ok i didn’t need my heart anyway
“you are supposed to be better than this” “you have always known what i am” well that’s great for you two! meanwhile i am clawing at the walls of my enclosure
“unspoken: you cannot refuse me” hit like a blow to the head tbh
I would LOVE to talk abt history with Kevin, seriously, he could be a nerd all he wanted. I love history and also dont have many ppl to talk with abt it, so I would have a blast. Also, having basically a free history class from a history major?? C'ommon, wouldnt dream of saying no
Kevin is my baby and he desearves so much!!
‘kevin day is mean and cold!!’ not my kevin day. he is a nerd and has so much love to give. btw.
horror movie night with the foxes
Sometimes i'm reminded Allison, Kevin and Neil are the only canonically really hot people on the fox team and everyone else is just your average Joe's
I can't keep lying, i found out about all for the game through gacha reactions videos in 2022...😞
*Seth fucking dies*
Kevin: This is going to ruin the tour
