#Neil's hot for Exy

[bisexualchaosdemon]

Okay, but what if Andrew could actually score a goal?

I know, I know, just hear me out! We know that Andrew can bat the ball all the way to the other side of the court ("He swept his massive racquet around in one long swing and hit the ball so hard Neil heard it bounce off the away court wall behind him.")

And we also know that he has crazy good aim when deflecting shots on goal (There are a lot of examples of this, but let's go with "Andrew stopped every shot on goal and bounced a couple rebounds off the strikers' helmets just to rile them further." because I love how much of a little shit he is)

So, if Andrew is strong enough to hit the away court wall and precise enough with his aim to smack multiple players in the head/knees/feet, it's possible he could hit a ball into the other goal, right?

#idk I can see Andrew doing that #like at the Olympics final or some shit #just imagine it #right before the final buzzer #the other team try to break the tie and Andrew's just like bitch you thought #and smashes that shit right into the other goal #no one would be expecting it so it's not like they's have much chance to stop it #because wtf how??? #and everyone is just silent for a minute #because wtf is that even a valid point #then they update the score and everyone fucking LOSES IT #and of course Neil has to kiss the shit out of him #because Andrew just scored the goal that won them gold #and it was hot as fuck #Neil's hot for Exy #but he's hotter for Andrew's arms #andrew minyard #andreil #aftg shitpost #all for the gay #aftg #neil josten #all for the game #tfc

hc that despite other (shitty) teams trying to psych Neil out by calling him Nathaniel or Wesninski or butchers son on the court they actually find Neil terrifying for the exact reason they’re shit talking. They try to play it off like they’re not scared and that’s why they taunt him but in reality, when they’re off the court, they constantly discuss how scary Neil kinda is. There’s rumours about Neil and the ravens and Riko, and what Neil did and who he was before he joined the foxes and then with the added obvious evidence of what he endured? The man LOOKS tortured and still comes out on the court with a wicked smile, he’s terrifying.

kind of obsessed with how the monsters (and neil) genuinely thought the reason why andrew offered to watch neil's back was because "kevin was interested in him" and not because, you know, he actually kinda liked neil.

i'm not saying it was love at that point already but maaaan. neil was this charismatic funny hot compulsive liar who he had expected to break, ruin, destroy and run. yet! throughout the first book he analyzes, pays attention, observes and then he understands.

neil runs because he thinks he has no option left. neil loves exy, and feels empty, and is insanely jealous of all the things kevin has. things he could never aspire to have - or be. and despites that, he would kill in order to protect kevin, even if it put him in direct danger.

andrew doesn't offer protection to ensure kevin stays, he wants neil to stay. because he sees through the lies and the misconceptions, and all he's left with is the core.

a fox.

[it's not about blood. it's not even about who we like, it's about who andrew's willing to protect".

kevin, a broken crow.

and neil. not meek and not a coward. a fox.

Wymacks always threatening to sign the Foxes up for marathons as punishment but I personally like to believe he gives them much more unconventional punishments. Ones that he just knows will annoy the Foxes. For example:

He makes Aaron and Neil create an art project together for mouthing off during practice

Like full on paper mache, painting, hot glue, the works

He won’t let them do anything else during practice until the entire team approves of the final piece

It takes them a full week of practices to do it

He makes Kevin and Andrew run the Exy booth at the activities fair

They said it was stupid and complained when Wymack brought it up during a team meeting

So, of course, he makes them run the table by themselves for the entire 6 hour event (scheduled during practice)

And he bought candy for them to hand out but made sure it was only the stuff Andrew hated

And he made Kevin follow up with every single person who signed their little sheet

He has their advisors register the entire team for an acting class

Because if they’re gonna be this damn dramatic about everything they might as put it to good use

He buys a clown costume

And if one of the Foxes gets a yellow card they have to talk to the press after the game in it

Neil is the only exception to this punishment

Instead of speaking directly to the press he gets to put on the costume and stand quietly behind Wymack as he talks to the press

au where andrew is a ups driver (he likes driving and he's alone all day, it's a good fit imo) and he keeps having to deliver these giant fucking boxes to this one house on his route until finally he sees the guy and oh no he's hot but andrew is in the middle of carrying a box that's taller than he is and he's Over It so he gracelessy drops the box on neil's doorstep. neil (just returned from a run, sweaty, slightly out of breath) asks what andrew's grudge is with his order. andrew glares and tries to ignore neil's stupid blue eyes, he asks wtf could neil possibly be ordering on a monthly basis that requires a 5 foot something package. neil, 100% serious, says he's collecting famous exy rackets (he's got a lot of blood money and has a hobby yknow). its the dumbest thing andrew has ever heard and he says as much. idk something something, neil says a smartass remark, they keep this up with every delivery until allison (who was at neil's place just to spy on the delivery guy) tells them to stop flirting and get a room. they don't but they do go out (it's not a date bc andrew doesn't do "dates" (it's a date))

#this is so dumb but i recently applied to be a fedex driver (dont ask me why) so this was on my mind #but like fr i could see andrew as a delivery driver #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #andreil #tfc #neil josten #andrew minyard #nora sakavic

[phantaloon]

in honor of that post going around about andrew becoming a lawyer once he retires

i raise you, once neil motherfucking josten is allowed to retire from exy and his dues are paid: he becomes a math professor

just imagine that

him receiving a letter one day, when he's in his mid forties, from ichirou, saying that he's paid his debt, that he's free to do what he wants

and neil, bless his heart, instead of allowing himself some much needed and deserved rest, thinks, what else could i make a living out because god forbid he does nothing with his days

(cue andrew screaming into a pillow somewhere)

and like that he goes back to university, gets a degree in teaching maths however that's called, and suddenly they're professor in maths husband with lawyer husband

(honestly that's so hot of them)

like imagine, you're an accountant student, getting ready for your calculus class (or some other difficult physics or math class), your classmate turns to you

"hey did you hear mr. thompson retired? it was about time not gonna lie, but i heard from some girls that he was some messed up looking guy, these people have lost their minds hiring thugs now"

and you nod bc what else are you supposed to do

and you sit there waiting, until five minutes from the start of the class, he walks in in all his auburn scarred glory, your exy idol, the guy who you followed until he retired and dropped off the face in the earth, and you think what the fuck is neil josten doing here

and then

"hello everyone, my name is neil josten, im your new [advanced mathematics] professor, today we're just gonna check the syllabus"

do you ever hate the fact that we can't have edits about Exy players or like we can't watch an Exy game irl bc it's all fiction???

imagine opening tiktok and watch Kevin's edits of him being hot af or the youtube compilations of Andrew's best saves or the twitter posts about Neil best insults quotes or the matching pintrest icons of jeremy smiling and jean frowning at each other or the Instagram memes made with Nicky funny faces....

[hmmm-shesucks]

To piggyback off my Andrew fighting for his life, trying to keep it together on the court because Neil Josten is hot as fuck covered in blood, I bring you: Kevin Day being hot as fuck covered in blood.

The blood is good, yes, but what makes it hot is the complete loss of control. The way his eyes darken, how he pulls his shoulders up and back, head held high the way it only ever is when he talks Exy. His body moves in one fluid motion, the sound of his fist colliding hard against the side of someone else’s head. Kevin’s not a fighter, but he’s always been good at surprises, so he wins every fight strictly due to cheap shots and cheating. Kevin Day is a dirty fucking fighter, and something about him not following the rules just drives both Andrew and Neil mad.

That’s not to say he doesn’t take a few hits, but he is a born and bred raven, has taken on so many different kinds of pain, and brushed it off like it was child’s play. He walks off the court, calm and collected and completely unfazed. When he looks up, he’s got blood dripping from a split eyebrow and a cut across the bridge of his nose. His lips are split to hell, and there’s blood on his knuckles. He doesn’t grin like Neil; his jaw is clenched, his body trembles and his eyes burn with a special kind of rage. It’s honestly daunting to see, and it’s got Andrew questioning whether or not dropping to his knees in the middle of the court would be worth it.

Neil finds this just as hilarious as before, but he can’t deny the spark of something only Andrew can make him feel.

Listen as much as Neil’s big mouth and hot temper gets the Foxes into trouble, the times that he goes off on a rant in defense of his team (especially in defense of Kevin) are so important and necessary. 

Like, on Kathy’s show, Kevin needed someone to speak up and defend him. Andrew defends him physically and uses distraction to deflect Riko’s attention, but Kevin needed someone to defend him as an Exy player, as an athlete struggling to reclaim his spot at the top. And there is nobody better suited to do that than Neil, who has suspected the truth that Kevin surpasses Riko in both talent and skill for years now and has the knowledge necessary to knock Riko down a peg. 

Sure, the consequences of Neil coming to his defense scared the shit out of him afterwards, but it was so incredibly necessary to both Kevin’s confidence and his growth that somebody break him out of that mindset that Riko would always be better than him. 

Neil’s words come at a cost for all of them (RIP Seth) but Kevin wouldn’t have gotten to where he is if he didn’t have someone like Neil who so fiercely defends and believes in him. The whole team wouldn’t have gotten to where they are if Neil hadn’t decided to start believing in them too.

Question: how long does medusa neil takes to grow?

Like, taking the hands as Andrew's, is it more of a "whiplash because I was petting this baby a month ago and it's now Big" situation or "wait what you're telling this hot mer is that tiny cute thingy I'd found around as a teen?" one

Ok ok so I had just put out “Andrew finding baby jelly neil would be really cute” as like a fun little side thought but now I REALLY LIKE IT AND I WANT TO PUT IT IN THE TIMELINE

so to answer this question: physically? A Sea Nettle mer like Neil I’m going to say takes about 17-19 years to reach physical maturity/full size (which in jellies is pretty far removed from mental and emotional maturity, jelly brains take a good while to develop because they start with so little)

So this. This is what I’m deciding thank you so much @snazzy-jas-z-is-a-fan-of (which counts as your second option, dear galacticvampire)

And it looks like this:

@exy-is-sexy medusa admirer 🥰

So Andrew always comes back to the beach (fisherman’s son, they’re there a lot) and always gets distracted going to a specific tide pool housing this little thing he found. Aaron thinks it’s really cool too, their dad is too busy with work down the beach and is happy his kids are entertaining themselves while he gets ready for the day. Of course, yes, he tells them. Very good, finding such a mer in these waters. (He thinks it’s kids being kids. No one’s seen a jelly mer, they’re kind of believed to be extinct if not simply legends. But a little imagination is healthy.)

Then one day, Andrew checks the tide pool and finds it empty of the tiny jelly. It’s nowhere in sight, he looks all over the nearby waters and in any grass or rocks it could have gotten caught in. Nothing at all.

Maybe by the time he’s taken over his family’s fishing business, Andrew has convinced himself it really was in his imagination. His memory serves him well but if he’d convinced himself it was real back then, that would be what he remembered now.

Until he finds a monster washed up on his beach.

(A shot of the process under the cut)

IT DOESNT COME ACROSS IN THE PANEL. BUT I CANNOT PROPERLY EXPRESS TO YOU HOW TINY THAT SECOND NEIL IS. literally I think that is the single smallest thing I’ve ever drawn. Look at this

That’s me sharpening my 0.3 mechanical pencil to get it small enough to draw the eyes. I just need everyone to know this because I think it’s so stupid and funny. And we all love tiny baby jelly Neil and it doesn’t get ANY tinier than this folks

#BABIES #not pictured: directly before and after #before when Andrew got seaweed on his foot #saw a bug in it #and flung it across the beach in his surprise #then went looking for it bc wait that didn’t seem like a bug #found it in a tide pool #huh. jelly mer #and after when Aaron says ‘can I hold it’ #and Andrew tries to drop it into Aaron’s hand #but it’s barely hanging on to his finger by its teeth. hanging straight down #love them #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #mer au #jellyNeil au #jellyfish #asks #tags #jellyneil

[numnue]

hc that andrew is really good at jeopardy and whenever it's just him and neil sitting in the dorm living room - and eventually their own living room later on - he'll just sit and answer each one word-for-word while neil watches, amazed

maybe neil is also super good (idk man i just think he holds on to useless info since he'll never know when he might need it) and they compete to see who can get the most points between the two

whenever neil beats andrew he just gives him the most smug smirk that andrew has to kiss off his face (and it has nothing to do with the fact that the smirk maybe makes andrews knees weak and ears hot, and maybe he lets him win sometimes just to see the easy confidence that neil takes on, maybe)

and one day the foxes are there to witness the back-and-forth between them and they're like "you guys should go on the show" and i just know that andrew would think that winning jeopardy would be the funniest thing ever and neil would like that it showed his new freedom in that he could go on live tv with no risk.

so they apply and get on the show (idk how that works) and immediately act like they don't know each other, they're just contestants to each other. and quickly they start trash-talking each other, i mean come on, and the host probably mentions that they're both professional exy players and have been on teams together in the past, so they probably trash talk each other about that even more

and it gets to the point where the old (or maybe new idk) minyard-josten rivalry hashtag starts trending again and at this point they're not publicly out so everybody believes they just really hate each other

anyways, andrew eventually wins (IM SRY BUT I JUST THINK HE'D BE BETTER BECAUSE OF HIS MEMORY) and they ask what he's going to do with the prize money and he turns to neil and is like "i'll probably take my husband on vacation, but i wouldn't know where he'd want to go" and neil smiles at him and is like "anywhere is fine as long as i'm with you" and thats how they come out to the public

"minyard-josten marriage?!" trends for a month after that

love the concept of andrew minyard. like. he's 5'0". he's almost killed multiple people. his bro HAS killed someone. could be the best in the world if he tried. he's a fox, so ya know. whatever comes with THAT. ugh he's a bug i want to study............always around but never at the forefront so you don't really KNOW. he's a martyr. he’s never done anything wrong……besides the whole juvie probably/almost killed someone……he is a girl……..he is the bestest boy………..he is a malewife………he’s a poor little meow meow……probably would rip me to shreds for even THINKING that. also he's a goalie.

thinking about how Kevin Day is canonly hot. like I wish we got more moments of it like I wanted people tripping over their feets seeing him I wanted other exy players to be like "damn Kevin Day is SO fine" during their post-match interview. NEIL LITERALLY SAID HIS SMILE WAS DISORIENTING GUYS (because he found it weird to YOU i know neil personally)

do you guys the foxes would use it as a way to jokingly insult him. Do you think he's oblivious??? like I know he has the fake press persona but what if it genuinely hasn't occurred to this guy that he's attractive cuz he's too focused on exy. CAN U JUST IMAGINE

Any of the foxes to Kevin: listen here pretty boy-

Kevin, genuinely stunned: you think I'm pretty??

neil josten the champion of demisexuality imo because my boy gets so agitated for two books straight anytime some dares to imply he might be interested in attraction when there's EXY right THERE just WAITING TO BE PLAYED... and then the VERY FIRST TIME him and andrew actually, really kiss (in andrew's room, not the roof scene) he drops the absolute HEATER of a line "everything about Andrew was hot, from the hands holding him down to the mouth steadily taking Neil apart" like are you fucking... are you kidding me right now. excellent work everyone. excellent work to Andrew as well, god knows he deserved that make out session LMAOOOO

[thespineoftherighteous]

My aftg take is that kevdrew? Kevandreil whatever those ships are called just would not work with the canon characters. Kevin and Andrew’s whole thing is that Kevin pushes Andrew out of his boundaries and doesn’t take his no’s. They wouldn’t not work romantically or sexually because of this!! Neil and Andrew’s biggest motivating factor when it comes to exploring their relationship is that Neil accepts Andrew’s no’s which makes Andrew comfortable enough to show that side of him. There’s a reason the poly angle was scrapped. I get that it’s like hot or whtv but pls be fr. They’re gunna kill me, your honor lol

interesting interesting!! me personally I think kandreil/kandrew is def fun but whatever is going on with Andrew and Kevin is way more interesting than being boyfriend's. I think that they both push each other out of their boundaries actually and that's hugely what's so fascinating about them. they can push and shove each other and get to each other farther than anyone else is capable of. you could make a very fair point of saying it's not healthy or even toxic etc but I don't think that's something they particularly care about.

however, you say that Kevin wouldn't respect Andrew in a romantic/sexual relationship and I disagree with that. I think that Kevin in a true romantic relationship would actually be very different from what we see of him throughout the whole series. I'm a little rusty on the details but I'm pretty sure that the instances we get of Kevin pushing Andrew (+anyone else) are all exy related— that's what Kevin is the most passionate about and that's what drives him to push into people so much. in fact, you can even see it in the scenes in which Kevin's present but the focus isn't exy that he's kind of mellow and far far less intense than how he is regarding anything exy/Ravens/moriyamas.

that's not to say the relationship wouldn't mean anything to him, so much as I think that he'd be less abrasive and more compliant? if not submissive, than what you're suggesting

even if it's something he didn't conform to immediately the way Neil did, I think that he would adapt to Andrew's boundaries as soon as Andrew checked him for it.

#I do agree that there's probably a reason the poly draft got scrapped but it doesn't feel like this is the reason to me #aftg #🦊✉️
