i love andrew and neil being clingy

andrew grabbing neil's belt loops so he doesn't wander off, neil holding Andrew's fingers, falling asleep on eah other during movie night, cuddling on the bus

[aftg-rot]

honestly I think Andrew is just weird. i think his brain just never shuts off, and he's always thinking bizarre thoughts. being off the meds gives him a filter, that's all. it's not like the medication created those weird thoughts for him, it just caused him to voice them. as neil and andrew spend more time alone together, he becomes more comfortable just speaking his thoughts out loud to neil. at first he was like "andrew wtf" but now he's just unphased. see:

andrew: do you think mermaid tails are a gradient or a direct cutoff

neil: what

andrew: at what point when you're eating a mermaid does it stop being sushi and become cannibalism

neil:

anyway andrew is just a little freak and i love him

Andrew Minyard and Obsession ~

I have been having some thoughts about Andrew and his unhealthily intense protective nature over Kevin, and then Neil. His compulsive desire to be the keepers of Aaron and Nicky can be characterised - not entirely, but mostly - by the hyperfixation on finding family after being in the foster system for so long, but the possessiveness to the point of obsession with Kevin, and ultimately with Neil, is different. As Neil says when he was assigned to look after Kevin while Andrew was away, it is possible to do so without becoming his shadow. Neil was realistically achieving the same goals as Andrew, without being with Kevin 24/7.

Because Andrew himself does not seem to have any hobbies, creative outlets or interests that are notable, I like the idea that the intensity in which he follows Kevin and Neil around is his way out of his version of the mundane. Their intense dedication towards many things is enough to break his apathy towards everything. It could be a coincidence that for both Kevin and Neil, and in turn Andrew, it is Exy. In another time and space, it could have been two different things for the two boys. Possibly, in reality Kevin and Neil are right and there is no way that Andrew can be that good at something without having some form of fascination with the sport he "does not care about." But the main factor is that both of them WANT something. They have a deep and contagious passion, they have an underlying drive for their feelings and actions, something Andrew does not have. 

Andrew, whether it is a lingering result of the medication, a trauma response, or simply who he is as a person, feels he cannot connect on any level with anyone else. The only connection he has with Aaron and Nicky is their family relationship, and shared history, but aside from that there is no emotional bond or healthy attachment. Andrew has latched onto Kevin and Neil's want and drive because it was a nice reprieve from the indifference, or a subtle lesson in what wanting and needing feels like. 

Falling for Neil and "wanting" him was probably the first developed emotional connection that Andrew had felt in a long time, with only Kevin's obsessive drive for Exy being a suitable substitute. Andrew's insulting of Neil every time he shows his true single mindedness towards Exy is very rarely said with malice, because deep down, Andrew either appreciates Neil's skill to remain driven during times of trauma, or is envious of both Neil and Kevin's ability to have such a force in their lives that makes it worth something.

It is mentioned that Neil offers Andrew his obsession to hold Andrew over until he finds one of his own, but I really think that is what happens. But not just his obsession with Exy, but both Kevin and Neil's ability to persevere and connect with other people, in both positive and negative ways despite what has happened to them. Andrew's codependent way of interacting with specific people is his way of attempting to fit in with the world around him emotionally, and co-opting his closest relationships' interests and obsessions is a method of connecting in an interpersonal way.

#i have a very bias opinion of these boys especially bc myself i struggle immensely with finding things to be interested in and often fixate #andrew minyard #all for the game #aftg #nora sakavic

#my love for the synchronicity will end up in an essay #andriel #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #aftg

"I am the worst of everything," Nathaniel answers quietly, "the violence, the hatred and the power. I am the reason we survive, the reason we have over a dozen murder warrants to our name, the reason Kevin still has nightmares about the last name Wesninski. I am a perfect creation to continue my Father's legacy. I just don't want to. When the flight and freeze became too much in the past, I am the one who called upon fight." - from it's a punch and a kiss, i'm trying to remember.

Andrew's mind begins to race before he can stop it, so he just lets it run. Does he miss the pain? Some of it? The pain he could control. There is nothing more addictive than knowing you have that kind of power. The more pain Andrew inflicted upon himself, the more he wanted to stop the people he cared about from feeling pain, and the further and further he was willing to go to make sure they were safe. And if it meant hurting other people to get there, so be it. - from it's a punch and a kiss, i'm trying to remember.
