I Just Think That If I Go One More Day Without Meeting The Foxes I’ll Cry

neil “i’m fine” josten telling wymack after coming back from evermore that no, no, he’s not alright just... pierces my heart every time i think about it. you can really see how much neil’s grown by how he finally begins to trust someone other than himself or his mom. he puts himself in such a vulnerable position when he reaches out, especially by asking for help from an older man (given his past). and the way that wymack drops everything during winter break to immediately rush to the airport, i just- 

when jean told neil that “fun is for children” at the winter banquet, he probably actually believed what he was saying. i doubt this traumatized man has genuinely had fun since he was a kid back in france - and even then it was probably rare bc let’s be real, if your parents sell you to the yakuza to pay off debts, it’s unlikely they provided a childhood full of sunshine

my guy matt is such a speedy driver that andrew didn’t even catch up to him on the way to the mountains like... oh my ajm, driving with matt would be a mix of wholesome, chaotic, and absolutely terrifying

Hey! I don’t know if this is what you’re referring to but I really like how Nicky is portrayed in the series “on the tip of my tongue (say something)” by willow_bird on ao3. Especially how perceptive he is about andreil in “TFW there’s a gaysplosion and you were not invited! (how rude!)”

omg YES that’s my favourite aftg fic series of all time and willow_bird absolutely did nicky justice, this rec is 10/10

i just need to reread all for the game

hc that neil knows how to braid hair bc of life on the run w his mom, but robin never learned (being kidnapped and all). so neil offers to braid her hair for her one day, when he notices her sloppy low ponytails and frustration. and eventually it becomes routine for her to find him before practices and games and they bond during their mini hairdressing sessions

Dude no shit, he literally says “fuck you, cripple” and books it out of the room before Kevin can beat his ass. And in the first book too, like oh damn you guys don’t even know about his “attitude problem” yet

I’m surprised this quote is in the third book considering, you know ... everything

i hit a follower benchmark the other day and i know that follower counts don’t matter in the slightest on tumblr, but it makes me so happy that people actually stick around for my random aftg thoughts! every note makes me smile, and i always go through every reblog to look at the tags bc you lovelies are honestly hilarious. thank you for following! love you all <3

in aftg, words often go “in one ear and out the other” when neil’s listening to others, but never with andrew. he clings to andrews words, absorbs them, hoards them like the upperclassmen hoard neil’s breadcrumb truths. he listens and he cares, he read between the lines and fills in the blanks, and that’s exactly what andrew needs

hEY remember how the foxes got a tv for the bus because they asked and wymack’s a sucker when it comes to his kids they won finals ?? can you imagine the CHAOS ??? these dumbasses can’t agree on a single thing, there’s no way choosing which movie to watch on their trips to games will cause anything other than absolute mayhem
