My canon: Neil is super weird, but in a way people don't expect and it catches them unaware. He will have a perfectly normal conversation with you and then you realise he doesn't ignore the first slice of bread of the loaf, uses it right after opening it to make a sandwich. He doesn't have a set way of replacing the toilet paper roll. He does sock-shoe-sock-shoe. He takes the peel of the banana off completely before eating it on the go. He unplugs the laptop yanking on the cable not the plug. He eats kiwis with the skin on like they're apples. He eats dry cereal then drinks a glass of milk.
Neil Josten is like an alien that has managed to blend in quite well with the humans but sometimes he does something that reminds you he's a martian
I love this trend so much oh my god
Neil Josten lets Andrew's his cigarettes burn to the filter without taking a drag. He hates vegetables. He knows all the places you can shoot a man without killing him. He doodles fox paws on his homework. He's not scared of knives or violence or the yakuza. He is scared of cellphones and therapists and his own reflection. His favourite colour is gray. He got told he couldn't play exy with a bloody nose so he sniffed back the blood until they let him. He doesn't like movies or loud music. He hitchhiked halfway across South Carolina by pretending to be a sociology student. He gets sad when Kevin watches exy without him. He wishes he had his mother's patience instead of his father's temper. He's brilliant at manipulation. He's stupid on purpose. He was every inch a lie but his friends made him into someone real. He doesn't wear a jacket to the roof when it's cold because he knows Andrew's body heat will keep him warm. He thinks the hardest thing he's ever had to do was opening a tub of ice cream after kissing his boyfriend and not like, all the torture he's been through. Nobody is doing it like him
Please read The Spear Cuts Through Water
I’ve never seen the show but the idea that Kaz and Nina would not both put their all into pretending to be couple is ridiculous. Like they’d have everyone in their vicinity gagging, probably competing to see who can come up with the most disgustingly sweet cringy things to say to each other, either trying to break each other or break everyone around them and have Matthias and Inej wondering if they should be worried. They’re actors ladies and gentlemen and they take their craft very seriously.
just finished the spear cuts through water, thought i'd jump up on tumblr, see what the talk is about. tell me why no one NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE DEFECT TURTLE THAT STARTED A TURTLE REVOLUTION BY SHARING WITH ITS BRETHREN AN IMAGE/MEMORY OF A PEACEFUL RIVER MORNING
literally every part of this book is insane without context and I love that
The Bowl of Heaven arc did give us some good things
when I say I love english, NEVER am I talking about argument analysis
