I often wonder what finding out about Kevin must have done to Wymack's memory of Kayleigh.

It's very heartbreaking when I think about it. Because imagine you once loved this woman – romantically, yes, sometimes you are afraid that she was the love of your life and you're never going to feel like that again. But also, in a real way, you loved her because she sort of saved your life. Because your whole life you've fought to show that you're not a waste of space, that you're worth something, and then comes this woman and picks you out of a line-up and says you're right, you're special. She teaches you this sport she created, and through it, you know you are going to be able to make every last one of your dreams come true.

Eventually, you both realize she'll never love you the way you love her, but it's fine, because you'll always have the memories. She dies, not even a decade later, and you're devastated.

Imagine you spend twenty years grieving this woman. You fight tooth and nail to keep your place in the world she left behind, and you finally do it – you start a team for people like you, you handpick your players, and even if they fail on court, you know they just need one more chance.

And then one day her son knocks at your door, broken and desperate, and for the longest time you think that it was because of the name you've made for yourself, being a safe port in a storm. He reminds you of her in all the worst ways, but that's something you can force yourself to bear.

He brings trouble with him, and then he picks out a boy who brings even more, and just when you think you understand the mess your life has become, you find out what is the real reason why her son came to you.

Because this woman you've loved for more than twenty years, whose legacy you've built your life around, never saw you with the same consideration you gave her. No matter what Kayleigh's real motivations might have actually been, the truth is: she knew Kevin was his and she never gave Wymack the chance to decide what he wanted to do about it.

At best, Kayleigh thought she could make such an monumental decision for him, like she knew better than Wymack what was best for his own future. At worst, it shows how little she really thought of him, that she trusted Kevin to Tetsuji Moriyama, of all people in the world, before she trusted him to his own father.

And the thing is – she's dead. He's never going to find out why she did what she did. And suddenly, he can't even trust the memories he had of her anymore, he can't trust he ever really knew her. His entire life was built on something that might as well have been a lie, and he has to keep going anyway.

no but what if everyone just uses Renee the way Andrew did for difficult conversations

Allison needs to break up with someone (who is very much not grasping the concept of a one night stand) but she is not tryna deal with the mess so there goes Renee to explain

Renee nudged Katelyn and Aaron together for Katelyn when Aaron was subtly pining but couldn't take a hint

au where Kevin just sends Renee in to tell Coach he's Kevin's father

hi its ly, the aftg zine guy. after the success of the mxtx gotcha for gaza projects and other fandoms running some, I'm looking for thoughts on running an aftg gotcha for gaza!

please spread the word if you can, I'll set up official things if there's enough interest from this tumblr poll. feel free to message if you'd like to help organize as well.

for those wondering what this entails: basically creators sign up to participate then people can submit prompts (this includes any ship, content, etc) by donating specific small amounts (ie $5) to specific palestine focused organizations, funds, etc! there would ideally be one week for creator sign ups, 1-2 weeks for donations, and then 2ish weeks afterwards for finishing creations. I participated in the TGCF one which sort of set this in motion and has good info about it and others actively happening!

Perfect court as horsemen of the Apocalypse

I don’t know why but for me this AU makes sense

Tell me if you want foxes in this universe

Riko as the Conquest (first)

Kevin as the War (second)

Jean as the Famine (third)

And Nathaniel as the Death (fourth)

I've seen so many people say that we see that Neil is actually really scary or creepy in TSC, and I disagree?? Calculated, yes. Scary? I don't think so. I can see how it might come off that way, because we don't get to see his constant self-doubt and fear, but we know it's still there. I think what we really see in TSC is that Neil is far more intelligent and kind than he gives himself credit for.

"if you ship this thing it's because you're too naïve to understand that it's toxic and that you wouldn't like a relationship like this" actually it's because I see one of them as a mentos drop and the other as a bottle of coke zero and I want to watch the mess they'll be together

#when people start whining about toxic aftg ships #like... that's the fun!
