the foxhole court is a comedy

[frankiedowntherabbithole]

The Sunshine Court makes me see why Neil and Jean would've been close if things had happened differently. They're on parallel paths.

we've all talked about the iconic neil cameo (i will never tire of talking about the iconic neil cameo) but the scraps jean hands us about andrew? warms my heart. the fact that people in the exy world have picked up on how he's actually putting an effort into games this year. the way he heaves himself out of goal so fast to defend neil from riko. that wymack told the press it was andrew's idea to put neil in defense and it was hailed as genius. andrew getting the recognition he deserves, even if he doesn't care for it. jean speaking to an empty room, "he will be court", as confidently as kevin speaks about neil. andrew having a dedicated candy drawer. andrew always looking at wymack when kevin and neil are being pedantic. andrew and neil and the quiet way they are wrapped around each other's existence. andrew minyard.

A major thing I love about Jean is all the little things he does. When he puts away the leftovers from the first dinner. When he actually marks the dates on the food and remembers to put the marker back. The way he listens and notes what’s important and try to do his part. The way even when he doesn’t want to, he cares and tries to look out for them, like when Cody seemed to be pressured into contact. I love him so much.

Neil Josten really came in at the end of The Sunshine Court, with his intimate understanding of the long-term side effects of sexual trauma, and said "He strung the noose himself when he came all the way here to put his hands on you, and I am not afraid to kick the stool out from under him." What an icon. No notes. We could only stan.

nature is healing now that nora reminded everyone that neil is a actually a fierce, menacing little creature and not some helpless tiny soft boy

[frankiedowntherabbithole]

actually the wildest thing to come out of the sunshine court is the fact that jean moreau and jeremy knox have now legitimately interacted within canon. many times even.

[frankiedowntherabbithole]

Neil has the best character trait of getting rid of his friend's abusers just by running his mouth to important people

[frankiedowntherabbithole]

all of the jean/kevin implications are giving kevins "its easier to be straight" a whole different meaning. fml

Do you think Jean knows it was Neil that got Kevin to give Renee his number?

pouring one out for agent browning tonight. if i had to be neil jostens assigned FBI agent I would invent new forms of alcoholism

Andrew: I noticed our bank account balance looks a bit lower than it should. Any idea what that’s about?

Neil: Oh, yeah. I had Stuart put out a hit on an ex-Raven while I was in LA. Some asshole who wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer when Jean told him to fuck off.

Andrew: Cool, just make a note about that in the budget.

Neil came in, caused general chaos. Gave the fbi agents attitude, ordered Thai and a hit, was ready to evade the fbi so Jean could grieve his little sister, framed a whole different crime family, and dropped Jean back home like nothing happened and I love him for it.

Seeing neil from an outside pov actually 100% makes it clear why andrew was as intrigued as he was. Because we as readers could see how stressed neil was 24/7 but seeing him from jean’s perspective really helps to see how absolutely off the rails he seems if you don’t have the insider understanding of his character

[frankiedowntherabbithole]

Too bad Andrew wasn’t there to see Neil make the fbi wait for him to finish his little drinky drink. He would’ve loved that shit

Heero, coming back from a mission: Hey.

Duo: Hey, welcome back! Where’s ’Fei?

Heero: In jail.

Duo: …you left him in jail?

Heero: Wouldn’t you?
