Neil & Matt art 🫶

I'd like to just say, it is so hard sticking to the reading order I miss Fitz and The Fool so much. Ship of Magic is an entirely different vibe

Neil makes SCRAPS of appearances in tsc but he serves cunt and leaves. Absolute legend. I get now why Jean was at his wits end with this guy. He orders drinks and food, makes fucking fbi agents WAIT for him then sits in an INTERROGATION and eats take out as if it's just another day for him. Jean probably got 20 separate heart attacks because of this man and then this gremlin goes ahead and orders a hit on the behalf of a man he knew only in pain while sitting in a very public diner and waiting on fbi agents to show up and drag them away.

Neil Fucking Josten, Andrew has his hands full. Never a dull day with him.

it's been years since I read aftg and i JUST realised that the Ravens basically signed off on their own loss by making Neil train as a backliner when he was there and then Neil goes Uno reverse bitch and defeats them while playing that same position and probably using their own tricks against them

neil looking at andrew threaten someone: my mom said i coudnt date gurls but she said nothing abt guys

The Foxes when they see how Andrew agrees to everything Neil asks:

[lokislittlelad]

*grabs your face by the cheeks* Listen- listen to me. Andreil? Was never about codependence. No, don't run- listen. It was never about codependence. Stop biting me- Andreil was always about learning to be independent and fiercely choosing interdependence through the process

#EXACTLY THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT FUCKING IS #IT'S WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING

Every 10 pages of realm of the elderlings is like this btw

nobody trying to steal your jordan’s neil, your father (the jordan snatcher of baltimore) is DEAD

[lokislittlelad]

obsessed with the idea that even when andrew and neil fight it’s glaringly obvious that they love each other very much

so for example after an argument neil leaves and slams the door behind him without a word but then he opens it back up again, says that he’ll be back and then slams it even louder. andrew pretends he doesn’t give a fuck but he silently appreciates it bc it means that neil hasn’t left left

or like andrew throwing neil out but not telling him to give back keys, bc a key is a home and he doesn’t want to take that away from neil. arguing but never throwing the word misunderstanding around. smashing dishes but not those favourite cups that were a gift from the foxes. pushing and probing and provoking but never breaking

I just think that both neil and andrew know each others’ softest spots and they could very easily destroy each other. but they don’t and they won’t bc they trust and respect each other way too much for that and I think that’s very beautiful

#absolutely #i can see andrew going: you didnt forget your keys did you? in the most andrew way possible #Neil pouts whenever he gets into an arguement cant change my mind on this

Thinking about the Foxes dying their hair orange for finals. Like it starts with the girls doing orange highlights/Renee dying the tips of her hair orange during death matches

And then Matt and Nicky rope themselves in because they think it’s cool as fuck and they want to be apart of it. So Allison and Renee help them bleach their hair and Dan watches for moral support. They dye the tips of Matt’s hair and give Nicky chunky highlights

They try to convince Neil next and it doesn’t work until Matt asks and then he hesitantly agrees. They give him just a little streak of orange right at the front and it just looks like his normal hair but a bit brighter

Kevin is the next to join in because he’s superstitious as fuck and would think if half the team is already doing it than the whole team has to for good luck. Allison and Renee give him a nice ombré of orange over the tips of his hair

The twins are the hardest to convince by far. Kevin and the entire team hound them for a week. Aaron agrees finally just so Kevin stops bitching at him every spare breath and somehow Neil gets Andrew on board because he’s Neil and “just asked”

Aaron dyes the undercut of his hair orange and Andrew gets little fox paw prints on the shaved part of his head (so he can shave them off as soon as the seasons over). The orange is bright as fuck on their hair too since their natural hair is so light. And they both think it’s obnoxious but are team players

It definitely becomes a tradition after that and if they make it to finals Wymack and Abby surprise them by dying their hair (and Wymack temporarily dyes his beard)

#best thing I've heard in a while #wymack would rock an orange beard #feel like Neil would die of happiness surrounded by that much orange

I'm currently reading The Lies of Locke Lamora (and loving it!) and I find it fascinating that Locke and Jean have no interest in being better people.

Their entire lives come crashing down around them and instead of learning a moral lesson, fleeing the city and being better afterwards, they decide "fuck it, we're burning this bitch down" (language not that far off from the actual novel). No moment of self-reflection - just a moment of mourning and then straight to vengeance.

Locke especially is just a villain. He lies, cheats, steals, manipulates and murders in cold blood. By every metric of being a good person, he's an awful person. Despite that, you can't help but like him, and as his schemes pile up one on top of the other, it becomes more and more fascinating.

10/10 so far.

The momen you understand that Puss in boots is just a version of Locke Lamora: *neuron dissolution in progress *

That scene in the moriyama car

Neil: If you don't rein in your brother, he will destroy the Moriyama Empire. Ichiro: How daring. And what has he done? Neil, pulling out a portable projector and opening a 150-slide presentation: I'm so glad you asked.
