Kevin Day you must stop. Your heart too kind. Your body too hard working. Your face too handsome. They'll break your playing hand.
i find it so attractive that jean and kev were speaking french at the interview and immediately upon learning that someone there also spoke french they switched to japanese. i know the in universe exy fangirls are foaming at the mouth right now
rereading tkm and I sorely misjudged Kevin before tsc omg the line when Neil says you can’t be afraid of him anymore (Riko) and Kevin says
“It is not a switch you can turn on and off. You of all people know this. You did not grow up with him. You do not get to judge me.”
You’re so right Kevin. Like that line really hit me that most of the foxes and other people (including me initially) saw Kevin’s reluctance to fight back as cowardice rather than the instinctual self-preservation and trauma response that it acc is.
What? I’m not crying. My eyes are just leaking. It happens when i think about Kevin asking Jean to teach him French, about Kevin’s ‘I don’t want to lose you’, Kevin buying postcards and magnets for Jean when possible, about stupid, beautiful kevin defending Jean the best he could when he learned the hard way years ago not to speak up against Riko, about Kevin sometimes staying with Jean after, but often had no choice but distract the ravens from further hurting Jean by being insufferable.
About Kevin thinking and worrying about Jean when Kengo is dying, about Kevin trying to convince Jean not to return to Evermore even though the mere idea of defying the Moriyamas still terrifies him, about Kevin doing everything to ensure Jean got on Kevin’s favorite team because ‘their kindness matters’ and ‘some of them you like’ and because he wanted Jean as far away from West Virginia he can get because he knew how hard it was for himself to be just a state over.
About ‘breathe’ and ‘be careful with him’ and letting Bee use everything he told her even though he never trusted her enough himself.
About Kevin traveling to California to help Jean even though he has to drink to get through it, about ‘California agrees with you’ and about ‘Stay with me’ and Kevin dropping his media persona to protect Jean on television, about ‘the only brother i have left’ and ‘you’ve always known what i am’ and ‘so will you’.
About Kevin trying to talk about Riko with Jean, about Kevin convincing Jean to talk to Betsy, about Kevin seeing Jean enjoy something other than Exy and ‘I’m glad’, about Kevin seeing Jean kept the ruined postcards and immediately sending a new one.

So, uuuuh, my friend got me to read this series and fucked me over
There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
if kevin behaved the way he did but was covered in scars people would be more sympathetic to him and that’s fucked up
reminder for tgr release:
also tomorrow remember to tag spoilers!!
OOOOH MY SHAYLA 😭😭😭
