This might just be my brain being weird, but I find it so funny that Jean would say this. Because, in another life, Nathaniel would have been number three, and Jean would have been four. But this is the only version of the story that Jean doesn't die, the one that he is three instead of four.
i love saying “i’m being normal about it” bc i’m actually a filthy fucking liar and i’ve never been normal about anything a single day in my life
neil josten was truly the man of all time for telling us that it’s always okay to know absolutely nothing because we may end up serving accidental cunt anyway
current mood
andreil rlly shines when ppl realize that andrew is the normal one in the relationship. this is also why aaron was being psychologically tortured by neil (unknowingly) during all 3 books
Andrew Minyard:
If you can’t accept me at my right-handed Kevin you don’t deserve me at my left-handed Kevin
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.
Something about how the "evil" half of double black are the ones who push it onto the next generation.
Mori decided to make Chuuya and Dazai work together because Natsume did for him and Fukuzawa.
Dazai forcing Akutagawa and Atsushi together.
You could attribute this to Mori and Dazai both being manipulators who are trying to utilize people for their benefit, but I think it's more than that. They know what it feels like to have that light in their lives. To partner up with "good" person. So much so that they want to push it onto the next generation, because they want the one they see themselves in to have that light in their life. Dazai wants Akutagawa to have Atsushi to temper that darkness. Mori wanted Chuuya for Dazai to give him a reason to live. Maybe one day Akutagawa will be pushing a different version of skk in some other lost soul he sees himself in, trying to save him in the only way he knows how. And the cycle will continue.
Aftg live action this. Netflix adaptation that. Y’all have forgotten aftg’s roots. Sports anime aftg or bust.
neil and jean are a bonded pair of shelter cats. to me.
