Pls god I don’t ask for much, just a chapter from Andrew’s POV

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

don’t mind me…Just remembering that Kevin would not let Riko hit Neil on Kathy Ferdinand’s show. Even having his abuser thrust on him when he didn’t expect it in an already emotional moment, even terrified-

When Riko’s hand went up it was Kevin’s that blocked it.

fuck fuck fuck fuck

im loving all their interactions

The denim grab? The good game??

I love how jean thought neil was stubborn in a bad way(in a way that risks neils potential-cuz he refused the ravens) to stubborn in a good way, in a way that made neil gained jean’s respect.

Btw i say it again, the way neil is to an outsider is so interesting lmao hes so filterless, confident in a way that screams fuck yall

Minor TSC Spoilers

Jean going to USC instead of being a Fox was honestly the best decision ever. USC being the antecedent of everything Edgar Allan was. The Trojans being the complete opposite of everything the Ravens are. Going from the Ravens dark, cruel, and violent environment to the happy, kind, and gentle nature of the Trojans. From the Dark Ravens Nest to the Gold Sunshine Court. From bleak West Virginia to sunny California. On opposite sides of the country. From a captain that rules with fear to a captain that rules with warmth and understanding. From Jersey number 3 to Jersey number 29, not a 3 in sight, not divisble by 3, no association to 3 at all. Instead, a combination of someone who helped him through the Nest, someone who helped him out, and someone who will help him through the aftermath. (2- Kevin; 9- Renee; 2 + 9= 11 - Jeremy)

I think it really helps him to completely restart. To begin again in a place that is so unlike the origin of all his trauma. Far from Kevin and Neil who would be constant reminders of his trauma. Even away from Renee, even though she was his rainbow through the darkness, who may only remind him of the day that was almost his last. A clean slate.

Jean and Neil both being 19. I’m going to cry. I always thought Jean was older, at least the same age as Kevin. I cannot cope.

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

rereading the first fox vs raven game and it’s mentioned that “Jean was taller than Kevin not by much but just enough he caught the ball first.”

SORRY WHAT

also them being so aggressive and checking each other hard enough to knock each other over (I am screaming and crying at the same time rn)

also grayson johnson is Neil’s mark and I cannot wait to see Neil eat him up

okay, all excitement over the actual plot of tsc aside, is anyone else seriously excited just to see how Nora has developed as a writer?

There's something extremely special about getting writing for the same universe a decade after the original series. We get a little window into how she's grown in her craft, and I'm really excited for it. Getting to see how she interacts as an author with a brainchild that was originally developed so long ago is lowkey highkey amazing.

Tbh we should all give her a nice big "thank you, Nora" because not a lot of fandoms get this, and especially after some of the crap that the fandom has put her and her characters through.

Neil gets more sympathy for being at Evermore for Christmas than Kevin does for being there for 12 years

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

Gathering evidence of Jeremy's issues like ✍🏻✍🏻

Ok, so whatever happened it was at the fall banquet 4 years before and probably involved cops. (I don't think there will be *two* major scandals)

Hints of the missing brother.

Other sus stuff

I don't have any big theories. Thinking either brother killed hinself after an argument with Jeremy, crash while driving to get Jeremy out of custody, or cut contact with everyone after their poor reaction to Jeremy's scandal (and I think he was outed, hence the floozies and why he has to stay home during the week)

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

obviously I loved tsc for a variety of reasons but chief amongst them is the fact that we got another pov of kevin-day-tapping-his-racket-against-the-floor-and-switching-it-to-his-left-hand-in-the-final-game-against-the-ravens gate. i would relive that moment seven million times if I could. nora could be 60 years old telling the story of someone three generations after kevin and a part of me will still hope the main character finds a way to mention peepaw day's racket switch that rocked the nation. it is simply who i am.

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

saw someone say that Jean’s number 29 for the Trojans is Kevin’s number and Renee’s number put together and I have not been the same since

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

Nicky: You should drop the negative people in your life

Neil: I am the negative people in my life.

Nicky: No—

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

i bet the aftg universe youtube videos of "neil josten and kevin day having the greatest exy friendship for 12 minutes" slapped severely

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

So we agree that our boys are the embodiment of the 3 classic responses to trauma.

Fight: Andrew

Flight: Neil

Freeze: Kevin

Now, may I present you:

Fawn: Jean-Yves Moreau

Teeth are bullshit. What do you mean you’re decaying. Get a fucking grip. You’re a bone now act like it. You don’t see my finger bones decaying from jerking it too much now do you

[shawol-lisa-lee9]

Um. Yes so what happened after the USC game was that multiple foxes including one Matt Boyd and one Kevin Day swept/held multiple Trojans in their arms to keep them from falling over from exhaustion and Jeremy said it endeared him to them irrevocably. ❤️
