Hey Friendly Reminder That Exy Is Just A Coping Mechanism For Kevin. The Same Way Neil Goes On Runs So

hey friendly reminder that exy is just a coping mechanism for kevin. the same way neil goes on runs so he doesn’t ACTUALLY run away. the same way jean distracts himself with a million different hobbies so he doesn’t have to think about his past.

i’m sick of seeing people talk about “the only thing kevin loved is exy”…untrue. he plays constantly because it’s the only thing he knows HOW to do. playing well was the reason he survived the nest, and it’s the only thing he had left when he finally ran away. he’s strict with neil’s training because for him, it was be great or don’t play at all. the same thing as helping your partner play well so you both succeed. for him, teaching exy is something intimate, almost.

so does he love it? sure, maybe. his mom created it after all. but you can’t look at his relationship with andrew—someone he trusted to keep him safe even though the people he trusted before only ended up hurting him. with neil—who he taught to play well so they could succeed together, even though he knew neil couldn’t stay. with wymack—who’s team he joined and made great so everyone would start giving wymack the appreciation he deserves instead of saying his team is a publicity stunt. with abby—the first (parental?) figure to treat him kindly since his mother died. you can’t look at his relationship with all of them and try to convince me he doesn’t care. not when he stayed and built all of those bonds.

Andrew leaves Neil alone for two seconds, and Neil somehow uncovers his most mortifying secret: "What does Roland mean you’d tie me down, Andrew?". He should have known better than to let Neil roam free

How long does it take someone isolated from other people to go insane? Asking for myself.

No yeah. This is so real. Kevin would just show up to their house (he has a key) and be like “guys can we go get food.” Andrew’s already throwing the car keys at Neil’s head and grabbing his wallet.

Andreil being monogamous, but letting Kevin into their relationship because he is... Kevin. Kevin is different from the rest. He is their princess. You want clothes? Yeah, of course, we'll take you shopping. You pick whatever you want. We'll pay for it even if you can afford to buy the whole shop. You feel like eating out? We'll get the car keys right now. Your wish is our command, princess.

Vessel’s little “whoop”s gives me life. It brings him closer to human in my eyes. It does so much for the song. I love everything about this song so much.
