Hot Artists Don't Gatekeep

When you can’t get your exy raquet back because “it was used as a murder weapon.”

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

They will never make me hate Kevin Day.

Growing up he never knew his dad. His mom died when he was young. He'll only ever be able to know her through other people's stories, silently hating himself and resenting them for knowing her more than he ever will. Even though she is remembered as a celebrity, memories fade, imagine him asking himself, would I even remember what she looked like if there weren't articles and pictures of her? Plus, it's incredibly unlikely he was given time to grieve or ask questions about his parents and family history once he was abducted into the nest. No. In fact, Kevin was no longer the son of Kayleigh Day, instead he was forced into the role of a 'son of exy'. He holds on to the sport so tightly, partially because he was raised a Raven, but also because it is the only tangible thing he has that belonged to his mom. He probably dosent know any stories about Kayleigh except for ones reported in the news, and he knows from experience that a media persona is much different than the person behind it. Tetsuji certainly dosent seem like the type of guy who would have sat a young Kevin down and told him about his mom. And Kevins relationship with Wymack is not easy to navigate, it will probably take a while before he asks Wymack to tell him about Kayleigh. Exy is the only thing he's ever been able to safely have that connects him to his mom in a meaningful way. Kevin had to build a media persona as a teen, smiling and acting like he and Riko were brothers and best friends. Growing up, he watched as Riko became more ruthless and hateful. Was he worried of becoming like him? Or was violence already so normalized by Tetsuji and the Ravens that young Kevin was already desensitized? People call him selfish, egotistical, an asshole, a coward. And, yea he kinda is all those things, but he's also much more.

I wrote this cause I was procrastinating doing my math homework so it's probably only partially coherent, I have so many more thoughts about this diva but I'll save those for another day

I need Kevin to make friends who don’t care about exy/ think it’s cool but aren’t sports fans. I need Kevin to be told that his knowledge of history is so cool and really fascinating and “Kevin, can you tell me more about that one ancient civilization you mentioned earlier?” I need Kevin to be told that he’s worth so much more than his exy skill. I need Kevin to know that he is enough and worth something even without exy.

Imagine for a moment, a crossover between All for the game and Six of crows. The absolute CHAOS that would ensue. I think Renee and Inej would get along very well. Matt would help Mattias learn how to express his masculinity in a healthier way and generally just be a good role model for him. Jesper, Allison, Nina, and Nicky NEED I SAY MORE? I want just want to see how they interact with each other. I could see Andrew potentially taking Wylan under his wing, he sees a tiny bit of Neil in the way Wylan tries to act normal but really he knows how to make bombs and cares greatly for the people he's close to despite not being raised to be that way, idk, it makes sense in my head. I also think Kaz and Andrew would develop a begrudging friendship with each other since they have a good amount of things in common. KAZ AND HIS CREW COULD TAKE DOWN THE ENTIRE MORIYAMA EMPIRE CHANGE MY MIND. As long as they team up with the foxes for info and a bit of extra help, they could do it. Let's be honest, they would end up crashing the entire New York economy just for funsies. I'm not sure how Kevin fits into this but he would definitely be calling all of them idiots at one point or another.

I can't decide which of the crows would be good at exy, definitely Inej, probably Mattias but idk who else.

of course you have blood all over you. and pronouns

“tumblr” “grindr” do the gays not like the letter e for some reason
