I know for a fact that I've made that one promise on like the 26th of August that I would get elio art I never did uhh I swear I will finish the sunflower dress sketch/drawing soon like later on as I have shit to do uhh I will also start to work on a kit among foxes chapter 1/ (chapter title thing) and will post a snippit of that may be written in my notes or notion I'm unsure but I promise i will do these things
heck I may even start the princess and the pauper katelyn, neil au if I ever get a plan in my head so yay that will be a wip thing tho not a fic for a while
guys guys so like silly thought but au idea so we all know barbie as the princess and the pauper right so there's two ways this au can go
obviously we have the most common that everyone thinks this au could go with Erika being Andrew and Anneliese being Aaron, which would most likely have Julian bing Katelyn and then Dominick being Neil and obviously Anneliese's mother being Nicky instead of tilda and madame carp being idk someone (idk if cass would make sense for that) don't ask me about the cats the cats could very much just be the cats in the movie just changed for the au obviously Bertie would obviously be Renee, nick and nack could be uhh raven players ig, now preminger who to have him be idk riko but that wouldn't make any sense so
the second way this au could go is Erika being Neil and Anneliese being Katelyn yes playing into the massive headcanon that she and he look alike, and I was thinking what if I was to elio be in this au and then it hit me Wolfie could be elio like instead of him being a cat he could be elio (still Neil's kid cuz oh well fuck the movie canon) Dominick would obviously be Andrew and Julian would be Aaron, the Queen would be Katlyns mother, I'm gonna have Bertie be Allison or heck maybe even seth
do you guys see where I'm going with this, like idk if this like all the other royal au things but like it'd be fun as hell to write
Apparently this is a Broadway play, but all I can think of is Katelyn đ
hc that andrewâs really good at drawing, and bc of his eidetic memory, he can depict scenes perfectly. he didnât draw much when he was on his meds, but got back into it when he was sober again. here are some memories i think he would recreate:
the âyou know, i get itâ speech (this one is a kaleidoscope of colours bc of his drugged state)
neil at ground level, andrewâs cigarette between his lips, giving andrew a mock salute (that scene right after andrew returns from easthaven)
seeing neilâs scars for the first time
aaron and nicky dancing, carefree, at edenâs
beeâs glass figurines (he adds to this drawing every time he gets her a new one)
sparring with renee
neil sitting on the ground at the foxhole court after calling andrew during his panic attack
neil leaning over the bus seat
matt grinning during an exy game
neil at the baltimore reunion (the rest of the foxes are blurs in this one because he only had eyes for neil)
sleepy neil curled up in the beanbag chair
allison and renee curled up beside each other
kevin coming in, drunk, with his new tattooÂ
nicky and erik hugging when erik came as a surprise
kevin and wymack right before the final match
riko with his racquet raised above neil (he wasnât going to draw this one, but he couldnât get the moment out of his head and thought it might help to get it down on paper)
aaron smiling for a split second at a sarcastic comment andrew made
neil, yawning and wearing andrewâs hoodie
matt ruffling neilâs hair
allison painting reneeâs nails
neil sitting on the rooftop, the sunset setting his hair ablaze
ice cream at sweetieâs (no cracker packets in this memory)
the first goal robin blocked during a game
neil on facetime, staring at andrew like he could never get enough
the first house that andrew could really call homeÂ
sir and king climbing all over neil
neil and kevin wearing olympic medals
neil and andrewâs hands linked together
aaron and his family when they come over for dinner
neil, soaking wet and laughing during a watergun fight in their backyard
neil, smiling and happy and home
iâd like to think that, when andrew feels ready to show neil his drawings, they hang them up around their home. and when the foxes come over, theyâre in awe at the memories and the love that is captured in the artwork, but they know not to say anything. dan gives them pictures, though, to hang up alongside the drawings, and they do
this idea just randomly came to me and i canât get it out of my head so: the foxes as texters (we already vaguely know some info but i have stuff i want to add on)
neil is just the worst texter ever. like... one word answers, bland messages, leaves you on read 99% of the time. normally reads the texts at least, but he doesnât text first unless he needs something, and he doesnât make an effort to keep the convo going. phone is always on silent but with vibrations - he hasnât figured out how to turn it off vibrate, and he doesnât care enough to ask for help (esp since his phone is normally dead anyway). he gets better at checking his phone and answering calls when andrew leaves psu though
andrew either answers within 2 seconds or never answers at all. autocap is off and he never uses punctuation (not even for questions). messages are usually short and to the point, but heâs fun to text if he actually deigns to answer. mix of dry humour, heavy sarcasm, and obscure messages that you can only understand by remembering 6 throwaway commentsÂ
nicky is very enthusiastic!! lots of emojis, instant replies for all, only punctuation he uses are exclamation points and question marks. isnât deterred by bland texters (re: neil) and will spam you with no regrets. also sends lots of pictures! and he never says âalready seen itâ when you send a meme that heâs seen before - heâs just happy when someone thinks of him
dan usually replies within a few hours. uses excessive amounts of question marks, and her texts are filled with abbreviations. autocap and autocorrect are off. sends memes constantly, never afraid to ask someone to meet up or to start a convo w someone she hasnât talked to in a long time. sends a ton of short messages in a row rather than one big one. only uses periods if sheâs mad or itâs important
mattâs texts have a ton of typos, even though autocap and autocorrect are both on - he mostly texts w capslock bc he gets easily excited. uses punctuation, but not at the end of texts. gets back as soon as he sees your message, but it could be a while, bc he always puts his phone on silent during practice and classes. uses cute emojis all the time
renee has autocap off but autocorrect on, and she uses proper punctuation. many :) type of emojis but rarely the actual face ones. takes a bit longer to answer bc she wants to formulate the right response, but sheâs very quick to reply if itâs an emergency
allison doesnât answer for hours, unless she actually likes you. always has a ton of unopened messages, and says sheâll get around to them eventually. texting style morphs from person to person - perfect punctuation w neil, no autocap or autocorrect w dan, enthusiactic w nicky, etc. wonât text first unless she likes you or has something important to say or ask for
kevinâs texts are very demanding. def has autocap and autocorrect on. not afraid to spam until you answer him. heâll send a massive text and then a ton of short angry ones. texts people when heâs bored and drunk texts constantly (you could be getting a play-by-play of his fav exy moments, or an in-depth analysis of an important historical figure, or be completely roasted). he has french, english, and japanese keyboards, so sometimes his autocorrect gives you a multilingual message. sends memes to anyone that they remind him of or that he thinks will enjoy them, but hardly ever answers any memes or posts sent his way
aaron is the sweetest texter ever with katelyn, all cute emojis and smiley faces, but heâs pretty dry w basically anyone else. has fun texting w the monsters though, and heâll never admit it, but he loves getting spam from nicky and memes from kevin. the only people he sends memes to are nicky and katelyn. the messages between him and andrew could all but be in a different language (and sometimes actually are in german) for how chaotic and obscure they are. heâs the type of person to open your message and then forget about it for a week before answering
seth is direct with his messages and you never know if heâs being sarcastic or just really mean. sends posts to allison all the time when theyâre on, ghosts her when theyâre off. short messages, but happy to help keep the conversation going if he likes you. no qualms about spamming you if you donât answer. sappy drunk texts
if you made it through that... good job, this is just a dumping ground for my random thoughts lmaoo
nora saying that if aaron and katelyn have time off from work they'll probably go visit andrew and neil for christmas is my roman empire i think about it all the time
one of the funniest things neil ever did was talk katelyn into talking aaron into talking andrew into having joint therapy sessions like damn he was plotting
