#18 years of neil :)

[jeanmoreaue]

the fact that nora made Jean gentle at heart is so special to me. despite everything that’s happened to him and although he’s a bit abrasive, he still cleans the damn dishes and puts away leftovers without being asked i love him so much

#i just finished the whole book and i’m gonna have to reread that shit again #i’ve loved Jean for many years now (catch the username) and i just feel so special about him #and i can’t get over the fact that he’s 19 #which means he was 18 during the events of the foxhole court series #and the parallels between him and neil #WHEN HE SWITCHES OVER FROM CALLING NEIL NATHANIEL #that part made me lose my mind #tsc #tsc spoilers #the sunshine court spoilers #jean moreau #my love and light

Your opinion but aftg is not really bad written characters are absolutely realistic human being with flaws and trauma a lot of people can relate too; the story is so chaotic it's absolutely crazy in a good way; not to mention aftg is written in a really realistic way again and we're into Neil's mind and see his pov; it's straight to the point; you have genius lines such as is your learning curve a horizontal line and absolute Shakespeare level masterpiece such as doesn't mean I wouldn't blow you like ? Hello? For me it's not badly written it's simple straight to point engaging ;stakes and not to mention hilarious and DEFINITION of the word ✨Chaos✨;the characters are once again realistically portrayed for me;I will die on that hill and you'll have to take that away from my cold dead hands . Like 18 year old traumatized Neil is literally trying to survive there's a made up sport what do you expect? But seriously It has one of the healthiest romantic relationship not to mention demi represetion ever; characters have flaws; are human and their found family dynamic is amazing; not to mention the whole underline about consent and that it's not about winning; it's about getting one chance then people wanted to give you and thought you deserved; how to fight cause you don't know how to die quietly ;, and so much more.

#AFTG #all for the game #andreil #the foxhole court #andrew minyard #neil josten #psu foxes #palmetto state foxes #Like did we read the same book #Neil's a traumatized 18 year old buddy what do want more?

Happy Neil banging out tunes!

#neil banging out the tunes #art #18 years of Neil banging out the tunes

[universitysunflowers]

I can't believe it's been 18 years?? Neil has been banging out the tunes for most of my life; what an incredible time to be alive.

#neil banging out the tunes #april 13 #heres to another 18 years #happy neil banging out the tunes day

Did a little sprite recolour for Neil and Stacey to make them more accurate to their actual colour palettes :]

#for my first sprite edits (or recolours) they look pretty good #I’m happy with how they turned out #gave Neil a green sweater cause why not and cause of his green jacket in the anime #maybe I’ll edit all the poses for each animation one day and gif it (probably not though tbh) #I really gotta finish the game as i think it’s super fun but I have found out recently that I have no energy for video games #probably cause I’m not a stressed out high schooler anymore #I’m now an 18 year old on a gap year who spends all her time drawing #scott pilgrim #young neil #neil nordegraf #stacey pilgrim #tagging it under nordegrim cause I can #nordegrim

something i’ve noticed (and can’t pinpoint why tbh…) is that this fandom has like… a weirdly l o w amount of smut??? so i have a q u e s ti o n: is dps smut frowned upon because there is very little of it. also i just woke up from a nap so if this post is completely incoherent that’s why but i find it hard to believe there’s only like idk 50 smut fics on ao3 or some shit, my curiosity is killing me

#OKAY the only reason i noticed this is bcs i came from a fandom abt 12 year olds and somehow they have mORE SMUT #dead poets society #dead poets #dead poets fandom #dps #dead poets shitpost #hi now ur listening to me talk! #they’re 17-18 in the film because they’re in the last year of prepatory school and someone mentions them being 17 #and prepatory schools only go up to 18 #so to see LESS smut from of age ppl is… like… do smut writers just not exist maybe #anyways hi i love you all :) sorry for subjecting you to my post nap thoughts #it seems like this fandom skipped the smut era of BUFF ALPHA NEIL AND LITTLE TINY OMEGA CANT TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF TODD #which thank god

[artsy-elmer]

am i late to the party?

#i’m literally at a party rn #but priorities #neil banging out the tunes #18 years old omg

[clarabow-mp3]

anyway why does clara bow hit me so hard like emotionally why am i sitting here sobbing

#ttpd #is it really just the clara stevie taylor of it all? is it the gorgeous cinematic dessner production? is it the nellie laroy of it all? #dare i say the neil perry of it all?? #is it my 18 year old self who wanted so desperately to leave this town this city this COUNTRY and be an actress? #who wanted it eo badly she thought she might die? is she looking at this 24 year old who still lives with her mother and is she crying out #at the lost potential and the shattered dreams.......... we'll never know unfortunately there's no way to process human emotion <3 #we were built to just repress and ignore them and that is what i will continue to do once my pms ends <3

thinking about max and her having dark thoughts about billy and living with the guilt of it all when the worst truly did happen to him. 

like it wasn’t her fault and it’s never gonna be her fault but that doesn’t mean it isn’t gonna weigh on her specifically, especially those nights when she can’t sleep or when she has to catch the bus to school instead of getting driven or when she has to make herself dinner becos her mum’s never home now. 

and there’s probably always gonna be a little voice inside her head telling her she got exactly what she wished for. 

that maybe if she was a better sister, maybe if she cared more, maybe if she had done literally anything differently - maybe things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did. maybe billy would’ve survived, maybe he would’ve never been dragged into the mess in the first place.

but none of that happened, and instead he’s dead, and barely anyone even remembers his name, let alone mentions it. 

but then also thinking about how billy probably had similar dark thoughts about max, not necessarily in that context, but like. 

sometimes, on the shitty days, when he was fucking over it; wishing that his dad would just have a go at her, the actual problem, instead of him.

that maybe, instead of pushing him around for bringing her home late - pushing her around instead for being the actual reason they were late. he’s not asking for a fucking hospital visit, but maybe just something to make her fucking understand. 

he knows life isn’t fair, and complaining about it will get him nowhere - but god, sometimes the way she can do no wrong and the way he can only do wrong makes him wanna scream.

and when it finally happens, when he finally comes home one day to a subdued max and a tense neil, he wants to feel relieved. wants to be happy that it's finally both of them getting the full neil treatment, not just him. but instead he just feels guilty, like absolute fucking shit.

he tries to get her to talk to him, to give him a clue on what went down, but she's having none of it. pairs the bruise on her cheek with a miserable mood but doesn't complain once. does the dishes without being told and puts the garbage out even though that's usually billy's job.

billy doesn't sleep that night all. loses his appetite every time he see's the mark on her face.

the 2nd time it happens, billy's there to witness it. doesn't even realise anythings about to happen til it's too late. didn't realise his dad, who's let max run wild with her friends since the second the got to hawkins, all of a sudden has a real stick up his ass about max going out with them. turns out, she didn't either; she completely brushes neil off and gets ready to walk out the door before neil's voice rings out, stopping her in her tracks. billy knows the tone well, it's rooted billy to the spot, paralysed with dread and anger, more times than he can count.

max is at least smart enough to turn around and listen, which billy considers a win. she doesn't fight back like billy thought she would. was worried she would. hoped she would. instead, she let's neil have his shitty dad monologue, before she goes to push past him to hide out in her room. neil grabs her by the arm before she can get far, asks her if she understands. makes sure she verbally repeats the words to him before he lets her go.

if billy wasn't such a shitty excuse of an older brother, he could've stopped that. could've stepped in between, gotten himself involved, protected her.

but there's a phantom pain across his face, and flashing memories of his mom yelling at neil to let him go, holding up some frozen peas to his nose, telling him to stop involving himself when his dad gets like this, to keep himself safe, save himself.

and he knows this isn't the same, that he's the oldest now, the one meant to protect; but his own protector fucking left, and his idea of being a hero is messed up, and max is a big fucking kid that doesn't need her battles fought for her. max should know by now to listen to neil the first time, instead of brushing him off.

billy walks away.

(he never gets a chance to step in the third time.)

#was thinkin bout this at like 3am the other night and was like ill totally remember that! i dont need to write it down now! #anyway by the time morning came i forgot where i went with it #so this isn't completely like. the vibe. #but whatever. #anyway basically its the way both of them were stuck in this messy excuse of a patchwork family #and both of them constantly saw each other at their worst #and therefore couldn't help but think of each other in the worst light #becos they couldnt be a team in that house! they never had that option!!! #it was every man for himself in that place!!! which is exactly how neil wanted it!!!! #and maybe if they both made it to their 20s!!! hell!! their 30s!!! maybe then they could look back #ans be like! hey! shit was truly fucked! everything about our childhood and teen years were fucked!!! #but billy will forever be stuck at the tender age of 18 #and max will have to continue to age and grow without him #and theyll never get a chance to grow and heal together. to know each others real feelings towards everything that happened #with an adult perspective and not just an angry hurt childs point of view. so. #shits fucked. #m #nqff #at its core it's about the fact that any chance they had was taken from them and theyll never get a chance again. #im sick of this in my drafts so have it even tho its. missing something. idk what but it is.
