Trying To Explain The Plot Of Aftg To Someone While Also Convincing Them It’s Peak Fiction Is Impossible

okay but jean's surprise at the banquet when neil understands his french. jean who spoke french to neil in the nest. jean who probably hadn't spoken french since kevin left. jean who hasn't had anyone to speak to in the language he's most comfortable in for so long.

jean finding out his lost forever partner speaks french.

Nothing makes me roll my eyes more than when ppl post stuff like : omg kevin fumbled jean omg he fumbled Jeremy omg ... like no he didnt fumble shit he's traumatised and was brainwashed Into thinking exy is all he has, the game his mom invented to have fun , his mom's legacy was ruined for him to the point he can't exist outside it .. he was abused by his own god father the person who his mom trusted to care for him.. kevin didn't fumble shit, kevin can't even see anything past the court because he doesn't know anything but

we need a cuteness aggression equivalent term for when you see art of your favorite character you like so much that you sincerely cannot think of anything to put in the tags that isnt "im going to start biting off my own fingers"

The Icarus of exy aka Kevin Day

me, vibrating out of my skin : hey can I talk to you about this piece of media real quick? I pinky promise I'll be So Normal about it, like there's no reason to be concerned that this will turn into a three hour long monologue. Like I Prommy that I'm not gonna be a freak about it.

whatever [dons my gay apparel]

very busy. i have to pace in circles for 6 hours. you understand

obsessed with how neil and jeremy are both unreliable narrators but in vastly different ways. neil gives the reader all of the information he considers important and quite literally nothing else. so you get play-by-play recounts of exy games, gruesomely detailed descriptions of his trauma, live-commentated accounts of his conversations with andrew but you have no idea what his real name is. or what he looks like. or what any of the characters look like, for that matter. most of his narration is literally just internal monologue and like 20% of it is actually what's going on in real time. jeremy, on the other hand, only gives the reader unimportant information. hell, not even unimportant just blatantly obvious. it's like you're just standing right next to him as the events are happening cos you have no fucking clue what's going on in his head. he'll comment on jean's good looks, team relationship dynamics, give exact replays of conversations, tell it like it is except you have no idea like the context of any of it. like he recounts his conversation with his sister word-for-word and you still have no idea what any of it means cos he just says that she tells him he ruined her family and then doesn't bother to elaborate at all. iconic behaviour.

btw i will never forgive this fandom for the mischaracterization of kevin day, he was a victim as well. why are you hating on him just because he is?? idk mean?? that was literally the only way he could survive and defend himself when living with the ravens, did you expect a few months with the foxes to heal him just like that??
