Because he's been meme-ified a lot over the years, I feel the need to point out how smart he is. I mean, yes, he comes across as this feral, impulsive sort of character (and he has a lot of dumb energy, lol), but he's also really logical and precise. I love how complex and multilayered his character is. Nora did such a fabulous job writing him.

my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG

I told my friend about Edgar Allan ravens, the nest and moriyama lore, the image she had in mind when I finished was this

accurate much?

Neil: *mocks Andrew’s salute*

Andrew’s mind:

The Foxes Playing Pass the Phone

(Andrew is sitting back and enjoying the show of finding out his teammates are fucking idiots again)

Kevin: I’m passing the phone to the person who used sarin wrap to dye their hair because we didn’t have tin foil

Renee: Ok, I can admit to my mistakes. And it was 3 am. I’m passing the phone to the person who studied law for a year only to find out that, no, you can’t actually sue someone who refused to give you lemonade at a lemonade stand.

Aaron: It was only two months and that kid was a fucking prick. I’m passing the phone to the person who thought that incest was an organ.

Neil: Yeah, ok, I was wrong. It’s a disease. I’m passing the phone to the person who thinks they can sing and that everyone wants to hear them belting the Star Spangled Banner at one in the morning.

Allison: You all just can’t handle my angelic vocal cords I see. I’m passing the phone to the person who flirted with a lifeguard and almost drowned because of it.

Nicky: He was hot okay?? I’m passing the phone to the person who asked why we can’t just print more money.

Matt: And I still didn’t get an answer, dickhead. I’m passing the phone to the person who thought they could be in Frozen on Ice and proceeded to twist their ankle the second they stepped onto the ice.

Dan: Listen, I needed a backup in case Exy didn’t work, alright. I’m passing the phone to the person who caffeine crashed the day we had a playoff match against the Trojans and nearly had to sit out

Kevin: It was one time and I bitched my way through it

You want to know what I just realized? How do Andrew’s arms not get all itchy and sweaty when tight armbands with knives underneath are literally on him 24 hours a day? Is it explained in the books?

Like I bet he’s always relieved taking them off and can finally run his arms under water and wash them with soap and shit. It’s probably his equivalent of taking off a tight bra after a long day or something, idk.

Also I haven’t read the books in a while so I’m so sorry if he wears them to hide his scars and I just forgot I just had a thought and wanted to share it. I like thinking about Andrew Minyard experiencing human inconveniences

«I've been running for a while, I like drinking all alone

I ain't got any friends, I don't even have a home

A pawn inside the game, and a bomb inside the war

I don't have a clue what the hell I'm searching for

I'm a wanted man

Blood is on my hands

Time to make a stand...»
