obviously I loved tsc for a variety of reasons but chief amongst them is the fact that we got another pov of kevin-day-tapping-his-racket-against-the-floor-and-switching-it-to-his-left-hand-in-the-final-game-against-the-ravens gate. i would relive that moment seven million times if I could. nora could be 60 years old telling the story of someone three generations after kevin and a part of me will still hope the main character finds a way to mention peepaw day's racket switch that rocked the nation. it is simply who i am.

saw someone say that Jean’s number 29 for the Trojans is Kevin’s number and Renee’s number put together and I have not been the same since

Nicky: You should drop the negative people in your life

Neil: I am the negative people in my life.

Nicky: No—

So we agree that our boys are the embodiment of the 3 classic responses to trauma.

Fight: Andrew

Flight: Neil

Freeze: Kevin

Now, may I present you:

Fawn: Jean-Yves Moreau

Teeth are bullshit. What do you mean you’re decaying. Get a fucking grip. You’re a bone now act like it. You don’t see my finger bones decaying from jerking it too much now do you

Um. Yes so what happened after the USC game was that multiple foxes including one Matt Boyd and one Kevin Day swept/held multiple Trojans in their arms to keep them from falling over from exhaustion and Jeremy said it endeared him to them irrevocably. ❤️

out: a single sip of sprite would kill a victorian child

in: a single sip of sprite would kill Jean Moreau

Jean’s taste in people is so real actually, I don’t know how someone WOULDN’T fall in love with Kevin, Renee, and Jeremy

Hey just to make sure everyone knows that Barkbark von Barkenstein is the fandom stand-in right.

Like idk how much she was thinking about it but way back when the books were new the joke was that the fandom was six people and a cardboard dog. The dog is us. We are all Barkbark von Barkenstein.

Everybody say ‘Thank you Andreil’ for never hurting each other.

can you believe that. i’m not talking about the racquet hit or the eden’s drugging fiasco. i’m saying they never hurt the mind and the heart. and even–the hit to the stomach was when they literally had never met. and the drugging was not about Neil; it was all about Andrew. there was no relationship whatsoever even formed. there was no choking incident like with Kevin.

i’m saying there was never any of the romance tropes used to create angst. no love triangle. no cheating. no bet. no manipulation. no backstab. no running away. no miscommunication. no lies.

think about all the couples you’ve ever read or watched. the best and the worst. the mainstream and the niche. think about it.

they had all the knives. all the opportunities. but not a single time did they take advantage, in any way. no physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual violence & abuse, never ever.

do you know how comforting that is? how safe it makes me feel? because that means that through them, I was never hurt. they didn’t cause me any torment. they were not the reason I cried for 2 weeks straight every single day after I finished the series; the world they live in did.

and by the way. across 3 books, they did not find it in themselves to hurt one another. it was not necessary to keep things interesting. let me repeat that: it was unnecessary to the plot to add violence within their relationship.

and that is the skill Nora Sakavic possesses. that is the power she holds. that’s what makes her the best, the favorite, the beloved, the mastermind, the poet, the one true author.

so I say thank you, Andreil.

Thank you, Miss Sakavic.
