still the most iconic thing to me about aftg is nora had no idea about what demisexuality was and still somehow wrote the single best representation of aspec attraction i’ve ever seen in my life
i think the funniest fact about me reading tfc for the first time is i knew neil ended up with a blond guy but i was so sure that the love interest was kevin that i was convinced he was going to bleach his hair at some point
thinking about how neil and riko’s jersey numbers are the inverse of the other and that they can be read as narrative foils in much the same way neil and jean are
thinking about how kevin kept neil’s identity safe first as the binder using kevin’s articles to hide neil’s escape routes and then by keeping his secret of who he was so that he could stay with the foxes.
i adore kevjean as much as anyone else (i have like two wips on the go right now) but what is always so incredibly compelling is the depth of devotion and love they have for eachother without that ever being romantic. kevin made jean a new life and jean stayed in the nest alone.
did kevin ever have braces. im just saying,,, every single member of the irish side of my family (including me and my brother) have had braces. those janked teeth are in the genes.
is it just me or is there such a tonal divide between aftg and tfc. like calling the series all for the game.. fun! fresh! now the foxhole court on the other hand... use that to refer to the trilogy and we're in another ballpark. something's at unease.

i don’t know if it’s something i have the skills to pull off but i just had the idea of a rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead styled fic in which seth and mary are watching everything in the plot go down from the background

I think its a link to all of his previous stage names?

ie all of them are R? Connecting to the idea that even our past selves are still us, like he mentioned in the UN speech
KANDREIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANON BECAUSE THEY'RE EACH THE FOIL OF/ANSWER TO EACH OTHER'S CHARACTER FLAWS/ARCS AND AS SUCH ARE INTEGRAL TO EACH OTHER AND THE STORY AS A WHOLE

@decaflondonfog
i’ve said it before and i’ve said it again; if andrew really wanted to hurt kevin he would have gone for his hands. and even half blind with rage and fear he still didn’t even think about it
all these new poems are very — bright. not that they’re particularly joyful, but they feel like holding up a piece of paper to the light to read what’s been crossed out
"The world is vast and strange. It is a difficult thing to dwell on. Sometimes things are larger or smaller than they should be. It makes me anxious, which is the same thing as excited, though we call them different things depending on our levels of safety and optimism.

[slamming a hand on a table] where are the 2001 evermore interviews with 11 year old braces-clad kevin day. did he get to pick his bands colours. was he a bitch about getting them tightened.
Ever wondered who Abby was before the Foxes, how she became a nurse and found her way to PSU? Well, we have the answer for you in this gorgeous THEN fic.

@shineefordays
people think that groups like shinee, snsd, big bang etc were successful because they came from 'big three companies' - those companies weren't the big three until those groups made them big
never forget the kid i went to school with who tried to gaslight our whole class into believing we had a math teacher that didn’t exist. he had a while backstory for this lady and none of us had ever seen her??
sometimes you have to reconcile the fact of loving two people with the fact that both of them will always be frustrated by you loving another person who only ever caused people harm 💕
like it's the sibling-ness of it all. i hate you and you hate me and we would do absolutely anything for eachother. i don't necessarily find romance the most compelling thing in a story and by GOD kevin and jean come through to fill the heartbreaking dynamic spot
i just think! kevin as a gateway guardian of nathaniel’s disappearance. he’s there when nathaniel runs from evermore and he’s there when they meet again when neil’s in millport.

there's something so gutwrenching about their dynamic and friendship. theirs is the closest to shakespearean i can think of because they are so bound not by fate but by the choices they've made in desperation. and the choice was to love. no matter where they go that can't change.
@darkblueboxs
nora rlly loves car related injuries huh. i've touched on it in my wip but my brother loves to joke about how k/n/a's mums all died in cars (if not an accident, then mary was. in a car.)
@mostlymaudlin
like i am alwayysss thinking about the perpetuation of violence when it was either taught or not taught in youth. and also their position in kevin’s life as striker partner
logan paul’s review of nope is funny as fuck. sorry you didn’t understand the movie about profiting off of trauma spectacles, mr i-filmed-a-dead-body-for-youtube
