the most fun a girl can have is finding parallels, noticing patterns, making connections, contemplating

me if u even care

lets all say thank you neil josten because he made me realise im actually demisexual but i dont owe anyone an explanation of my sexuality bc why would they care lmao idgaf

jean and raven!neil would have been so codependent that they redefined the word.

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.

neil josten the character that you are. auburn hair and ice blue eyes and a serial killer's smile. the capacity for both extreme cruelty and immense kindness. an honest liar, a brave runaway. someone who is born of two violent, dangerous, immoral people and desperately, desperately doesn't want to be like them (but is a little bit anyway). harsh and brutal and rough around the edges and at the same time so devoted and genuine despite it all. spent his entire life outrunning his past, cutting people loose for his own survival, and was ready to die for the people he called family. never does anything half-hearted (except maybe college, but that's actually completely valid) but throws himself into it and literally puts his life on the line all for the game. bargains for jean's safety and makes an effort to keep him alive and well despite barely knowing him at all. signed his own death warrant by staying at the foxhole court because he wanted to see kevin break free of r*ko and make it to the top (where he belongs). neil josten, who could've been so much more violent and bitter and evil, but remained true and good and would've held onto his integrity and the people he loved till the day that he died. neil josten the character that you are.

i want us all to sit and think more about the "he was jean’s misplaced forever partner, an unfulfilled promise jean had stopped believing in years ago" quote. those words are in jean's pov. are jean's thoughts. he lived for years thinking mournfully of nathaniel, of what he could have had. imagine him meeting neil for the first time and watch him talk to riko without holding back, without fear. i know that maybe he believed that neil would have suffer in the nest because of his bratty attitude but i also know that one part of him was selfish enough to imagine a life where nathaniel was his shield in the nest, of nathaniel talking back to riko because of him, of nathaniel protecting him, of nathaniel making his life more bearable.

little does he know that if only neil were in the nest he would have never left jean behind.

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

the golden raven. as in the raven in the gold court. as in no matter what uniform jean wears he'll always be a raven.

everytime i remember that the premise of aftg is neil josten getting y/n sold off to exy one direction i lose my mind a little bit

'Reading aftg for the first time was such a fever dream. Nothing will ever have the same effect.'

Grey, deary weather the whole week, devoured all three books after going in with the lowest expectations.

And then we got TSC and the weather was warm and- it'll never be the same but it was new and heartfelt and just as perfect.

OMFG. NEIL JOSTEN, IS THAT YOU?

i love jean moreau so so so much guys. he’s worried about cody being safe. he throws andrew’s candy bars in the bin. he doesn’t know nicky exists. he calls kevin a “beautiful boy”. he is a moreau but so is his sister. he thinks he deserves everything that happened to him and he tries so hard not to talk about it, but it slips out anyway and no matter how much he scrabbles at his throat he can’t keep the words in. he calls neil his misplaced forever partner. im in love with him i need him to be so so happy

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

kageyama tobio you’re soooo kevin day coded i can’t help but be obsessed with you

people died

currently rewatching haikyuu for the first time in a while, and i can’t remember if nora said it was an inspiration for her or not but damn.

a short redhead # 10 who is obsessed with a sport and has his speed as his number one asset?

and has his significantly taller black haired best friend who is equally as obsessed with the sport and is a prodigy he looks up to?

double damn.

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??

it's been said before but the FUNNIEST thing about the "intricate and endless daddy issues" line is the fact that's it's not even true. like neil straight up made it up for the plot™ like no wonder kevin was freaking the fuck out because "kevin and i talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time" and they don't??? kevin was probably TWEAKING OUT and neil just kept going.

*i'm sorry but every single song IS about you*

and it's just me dedicating everything i listen to to my favorite characters

The fact that this man manages to be more evasive than NEIL ABRAM JOSTEN even in his own POV is amazing. Truly astonishing levels of avoidance going on here

"give your game to me"

Man, I love Kevin day so much, I wish athletes were real.

“everyone interprets characters differently” unfortunately so true! thankfully I was blessed with an intense preternatural insight into their core beings (watched and paid attention) and I don’t have to worry

i am sorry in advance for the person i will become the day we get new kevin day content

girl so confusing ft lorde but it’s kevin and jean that need to work it out in the remix (tsc2)

we as a fandom do NOT talk about that fact that neil canonically wears bandanas to hold back his hair enough

Yes I like fictional characters a very normal amount. Don’t look at my blog.

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.
