I'm a university English major. I'm a writer. Media literacy and literary analysis is kinda my jam. I know AFTG is pulpy and nonsensical and problematic. But I'll be dammed if Neil and Andrew aren't one of the best written couples I've ever read. Their relationship is so compelling in its unexpected tenderness and emotional complexity, its defiance of the odds.

Even Neil's friendship with the foxes! They refuse to let him disappear. By holding onto him, by rallying behind him, they make him tangible. They make him real. It is cathartic to see Neil find himself through his connection to others.

It is always powerful when love triumphs over fear. That is the crux of this narrative, and it keeps us coming back every time.

riko, about to die: you played me like a fiddle

neil: fiddlers are actually difficult to play. i played you like the cheap kazoo you are

wymack before the banquet: i hope you'll behave this time

neil, already marching to riko: hope you're not hoping too hard

"Neil can't drive" this, "Neil drives like a psychopath" that, "Speeding down the highway" whatever. WRONG. YOU'RE ALL WRONG

Neil literally learned how to drive on the run. They were actively hiding and trying to be as unnoticed as possible. There is no way my boy ever ignored a traffic law.

Like, this is Crime 101, when you have something illegal going on in your car you drive under the speed limit, on your lane, no wrong turns, using the blinkers, do not even touch a phone. Getting stopped by a police officer because you were going at 10 over the speed limit when you have 3 different guns on you and you may be actively bleeding out of a stab wound is the stupidest way to get caught ever.

So what I'm saying is, Neil drives the Maz at exactly the speed limit, using blinkers, no speeding, ever, no sharp turns, hands perfectly at 2 & 9 position.

It drives Andrew fucking bonkers.

This one literally doesn’t make sense but I wanted to draw him in this lighting.

[allisonxreynolds]

neils decision to play for the foxes even though it would get him killed wasnt stupid, it was desperately fucking sad

Neil: I think I’m falling for you

Andrew: Then get up

imagine being david wymack at a banquet chilling with the other coaches when one of the kids in your team comes to tell you the mafia kid punched the other mafia kid in the face
