I head your Jean-coded playlist Nora, and I love it, but I will also provide my own. Mostly just because of my own music taste.

A little rock, a little punk, a little grunge, a touch pop, even some indie. And of course, so very very sad.

A few of the songs as well as some of the lyrics, just to convince you:

In My Time of Dying - Led Zeppelin

In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn All I want for you to do is take my body home {...} Oh, Saint Peter at the gates of Heaven Won’t you let me in? {...} I never did no harm, I never did no wrong I must’ve did somebody some good Oh, I believe I did

Brand New City - Mitski

I think my fate is losing its patience I think the ground is pulling me down I think my life is losing momentum I think my ways are wearing me down But if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn't know how to be alive I should move to a brand new city and teach myself how to die Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take? Honey, look at me Tell me what you took, what'd you take?

Sunlight - Hozier

I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet Who would trade that hum of night? For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight But whose heart would not take flight? Betray the moon as acolyte On first and fierce affirming sight Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

You’d Be Paranoid Too (If Everyone Was Out to Get You) - Waterparks

I learned to live with these eyes in my closet Hands in my pockets Alone, but surrounded I'm breathing, I'm drowning I haven't slept in days, but who's counting?

Wires - The Neighbourhood

We talked about making it I'm sorry that you never made it And it pains me just to hear you have to say it You knew the game and played it It kills to know that you have been defeated I see the wires pulling while you're breathing You knew you had a reason {...} He told me I should take it in Listen to every word he's speaking The wires getting older I can hear the way they're creaking As they're holding him

16, 16, Six - The Drips

Tell me what you wanna know I gotta tell you that I miss your voice Cause everything else I hear is a violent noise And it's breaking through to my soul {...} Take comfort in familiar face Carried me all over the place Fell in love the only way we could No one understood and no one could

Fight or Flight - Conan Grey

Well, fight or flight, I'd rather die Than have to cry in front of you Fight or flight, I'd rather lie Than tell you I'm in love with you

Giver - K.Flay

I'm learning to live I'm trying to be better I'm learning to give But I don't know if I'm a giver {...} I got so much soul in my body But no one keeping me honest And whole days turn into holes in my mind

You Know You're Right - Nirvana

I will never follow you I will never bother you Never speak a word again I will crawl away for good I will move away from here You won't be afraid of fear No thought was put into this I always knew it would come to this Things have never been so swell I have never failed to fail

Exit Music (For A FIlm) - Radiohead

Wake from your sleep The drying of your tears Today we escape, we escape Pack and get dressed Before your father hears us Before all hell breaks loose Breathe, keep breathing Don't lose your nerve Breathe, keep breathing I can't do this alone

Hysteria - Muse

'Cause I want it now I want it now Give me your heart and your soul And I'm breaking out I'm breaking out Last chance to lose control

Aneurism - Nirvana

Come on over, do the twist, aha Overdo it and have a fit, aha Love you so much, it makes me sick, aha Come on over and do the twist, aha Beat me out of me (beat it, beat it) Beat me out of me (beat it, beat it) Beat me out of me (beat it, beat it) {...}

Lydia - Highly Suspect

I've seen better days So unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe You gave everything you had Every little thing you had A true love unrehearsed I've seen your best and worst And at your worst, you're still the best But at my best, I am the worst It's a curse

Devil In Me 22-20s

I don't live, I just breathe I don't give and I don't recieve And I'll never get the devil Outside of me, outside of me I don't get all the good things You said I'd see, you said I'd see And I don't see the light Surrounding me, surrounding me

Dream On - Aerosmith

Every time that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way?

Don't Matter - Kings of Leon

You're not a man everybody says But it don't matter to me Dirty feet on my seat But it don't matter to me Break my heart, tear me apart It don't matter to me no, no I put a shine in your eye It don't matter to me 'Cause it's always the same And I'm always the same

Satoru: I don't really care much about special days like that.

Satoru: Just an excuse for my clan to be more annoying than usual.

page 3:

Suguru: Really? I'm surprised you're not jumping at the opportunity to make people worship you for a day.

Satoru: Well, yea but- (Suguru: No shame....)

Satoru: I've just never spent it with someone else.

Satoru: Not anyone I cared about, at least til now.

page 4:

Suguru: Wh- Well, we were on a mission all day, does it really count? (Sucks to fight curses on your birthday.)

Satoru: But it was the most fun I've ever had on my birthday!

Satoru: So... Thanks (or whatever).

I think this moment here is the first glimpse we have of how good Jean is.

Heartbreaking! Of all the adjectives he could've used, Riko's abuse was heartbreaking for him.

#we talk a lot about Kevin but I think there's also something to be said #about how Riko's abuse was a form of betrayal as well #jean moreau #tsc spoilers #the sunshine court spoilers #tsc #the sunshine court #aftg #all for the game

Children of the Moriyama-Day thrones ✨

I’ve been putting off an explanation for the kingdom Evermore for FOREVER and honestly a lot of it is directly pulled from this post and some more chats with @snazzy-jas-z-is-a-fan-of (thank you ily you’re so smart)

So if you wanna know like 80% of the pre-timeline Moriyama-Day story, read on:

SO. In Evermore, at least amongst nobility, all importance is placed on direct descendants of family lines. Spouses to the royal family can claim titles if they so choose - the equivalent titles are reserved for that eventuality - but their children will always have higher titles than them (ex: the husbands of the Day line queens are not princes but instead something closer to dukes, while their children will be Day princes and princesses, as well as the reverse for the Moriyama wives). This means that every once in a while, if a spouse would prefer to live privately rather than subject themselves to the more stressful aspects of noble life, they remain only vaguely known by the public. This doesn’t happen often by any means, but it does give the royal family an excuse for why the father of Kevin Day has not made himself known.

Each generation has a shared title - the most fit and capable to rule will take the titles of kings and queens*, while their children are princes and princesses. The eldest of each family in the generation adds “high ___” to their title once a younger sibling is born. This is why even though Kevin is the younger between him and Natalie - the next Day generation - he is the heir to the Day throne because his mother was the elder sister. The names in pink are the highest ranking royalty of their generation, whom the throne is passed to.

*(Maybe Evermore retires their monarchs once they’re unfit to rule, or maybe the younger generations take them by force, thus proving they are fit for the throne. I could see it going either way tbh)

The Moriyama line here is continuing essentially as is usual and expected. There’s family members among each generation and the procession of power is in place. The Day family, on the other hand, has almost entirely crumbled.

Queen Shields left the throne of her own volition, taking her daughter Natalie with her. She left the throne and renounced her Evermore citizenship for reasons unknown to the public, though the Moriyama family brushed it aside as the whims of a young woman that clearly couldn’t handle the lifestyle. For this reason, even if she was to come back to Evermore, she would no longer be able to claim her place among the Day family. Her daughter Natalie Shields, on the other hand, was hardly more than an infant when she was taken, and so the Evermore nobility could not say she renounced her throne or her citizenship by choice. If Princess Natalie ever returned to Evermore and demanded her throne, she would have it.

High Queen Kayleigh, as we all know, has passed away. Her son Prince Kevin was raised beside Ichirou and Riko by the Moriyama family as the sole remaining member of the royal Day line. Though he and Prince Riko had always been close because of their age (High Prince Ichirou was at that age range and just older enough that he found littler kids and especially siblings to be “annoying”, the way kids do), as they grew up, Kevin realized that even if Riko was his best friend and brother, he himself had started agreeing more with Ichirou’s political views and ideas. Riko swallowed the Evermore ideals of “conquer and prosper” as any younger brother might. Kevin and Ichirou never had to fight for the power handed to them - they were beginning to see that those traditions were becoming obsolete, and there were better ways to expand and run a country.

Riko did not like the attention Kevin was suddenly getting from Ichirou.

So when Kevin said, suddenly and surprisingly, that he was going to travel before marriage - see what and who around them might benefit Evermore - no one could really stop him. He was by that point the Day crown. High King Kengo allowed it. (He wouldn’t have, had Ichirou not so strongly championed for the idea.)

Young king Kevin is not technically an Evermore deserter or traitor. The Moriyamas cannot prove that he is. But the longer he stays in Palmetto, the more suspicions arise that he isn’t there only on business, or even that he might never intend to return at all. The only way to take the throne from Kevin - destroying the Day line in Evermore for good - is for him to renounce his throne, or for war to break out between the two countries so that Kevin will be forced to pick a side.

(We know what side he’d pick, of course. His adopted brothers as well. The rest of the Moriyamas are fairly certain they know, and are growing severely impatient for the chance to label him a traitor.)

(This also leads to the idea that perhaps, if she found her way back to Evemore on an errand, all the lost princess Natalie would have to do is exchange her claim to the throne for a certain foreign prisoner’s freedom. Ichirou is always looking for ways to get rid of competition, and Riko’s lost plaything is not his to worry about. Kengo’s declining health makes it easy for Ichirou to pass off his word as the High King’s.

So the ex-princess is free to take Jean Moreau wherever he’d like to go. Or, when he says he doesn’t know, wherever she thinks is suitable.)

key figures in jean moreau's life as they relate to the cycle of a day

kevin day is sunset. because kevin left. they were each others lifelines, reminders of solace, and then kevin left jean to pick up the pieces of riko's brokenness and anger in the darkness.

riko moriyama is midnight. he offers no light, only a desperation for something better. anything better. he is only empty hope, only a reminder to jean that eventually the sun has to come back... right?

neil josten is dusk. he is the first time jean has considered the sun in years, the first time he remembered the possibility of daylight beyond the fractured darkness of the dungeon under the castle.

renee walker is sunrise. escape from darkness, a light to cling to in a glory of bright colors and promise of warmth to come as she crests over the horizon to save him from himself.

but jeremy knox... jeremy knox is high noon. he casts everything into shadow and shows jean just how meaningless darkness is because how can jean be afraid when he sees everything as it truly is for the first time? when he has jeremy to shed light onto his life and heat the traumatic ache from his bones? he is all light and toothy smiles and loud laughter which brings the walls of castle evermore in jean's mind crumbling to pieces, making way for rays of gentile the likes of which the ravens had never thought possible. all for jean on the sunshine court with jeremy by his side.

#aftg #the sunshine court #tsc #riko moriyama #kevin day #neil josten #renee walker #jean moreau #jeremy knox #jerejean #original writing #fanfic #nora sakavic #idk man i have a lot of feelings about jean moreau im so glad nora let him live #he deserves to see the sun

the fact that jeremy is aware that jean is attracted to him is so crazy to me cuz it means the actual obstacles preventing them from getting together are jean's trauma and the power imbalance between him and jeremy😭

#tsc spoilers #aftg tsc #jerejean #when jeremy decided to confront jean about his sexuality. which he had figured out because jean likes to stare at him a lot. i was shocked #flabbergasted even #but yea theyre kindof at an impasse until jeremy isn't captain anymore and until jean gets into a much healthier place with his trauma #because otherwise theres no way jean would ever make a move on jeremy (because he sees it as shameful/not his place)#and theres no way jeremy would make a move on jean for fear of jean saying yes *because* he feels obligated to #by virtue of jeremy being jean's captain and his emotional/mental stand-in for riko #very interesting. i do wonder if theyre gonna get together at all #i think itd be cool if they talked about their mutual feelings for each other and then it didnt change their relationship at all #but then again nora did say service top jeremy for a reason #thunder rambles

I got on here with a purpose and then immediately got sidetracked by The Sunshine Court. Luckily my purpose also has to do with The Sunshine Court.

Jean and Kevin's relationship is obviously complicated, while they care about each other there is obviously pain and a level of betrayal (that was discussed at points in the book) but I don't remember him bringing up in relation to his own feeling how Kevin finding Neil could have in and of itself felt like a betrayal (at least initially).

I just listened to the audiobook for All for the Game like 100 times in the past 4 months but I can't remember clearly the Fall Banquet (I'm pretty sure that was the banquet) when Riko and Jean reveal that Neil is Nathaniel and they ask Kevin why he hasn't tamed him or trained him yet. I wonder how long it took Jean to, assuming that he has, come to terms with Kevin manipulating him to leave, abandoning him to Riko and Tetsuji's wrath, and then also finding his misplaced forever partner... How did he even cope with all that?

I see posts about how Jean talks about Neil and how he gives him a lot of funny nicknames and he doesn't really see him as attractive or anything but how much of that is because of Neil being a kind of enigma to him in the Nest? And I wonder if he was angry and upset with Kevin for finding and also denying him his 'true' partner after leaving him? I also kind of wonder how much Jean actually cares about Neil knowing that he only survived during Christmas break because Jean broke-

' ...what if...'

-you know? Part of me feels like he has him at arm's length because he really can't fathom anything else at this point and I hope their relation/friendship grows throughout the next book.

I've only read The Sunshine Court once, so maybe I missed something but I was driving and I was thinking about this and it hurt so much so...

You just know that if Thea was Theo, people would be all over this ship. Theo definitely didn't abandon Kevin, Theo was the one in the Nest that kept Kevin sane and held him through the darkest time, and protected him as much as he could from Riko's tyranny.

Kevin was so distraught after he had to leave the Nest and had to be without contact to Theo - Probably drinking himself into stupor because he needed Theo's arms around him so much and whisper to him that it would all be okay. He needed that strong person to lean on. Yeah Andrew is strong, but it's a different kind of strength Kevin needed.

And then they finally meet again, realizing so much has changed but they can be together, want to be together, need to be together. And Theo reminds Kevin, that despite everything he went through, it got him into the spotlight again and he can move on from this and use this to his advantage, because Theo is always there to remind Kevin about what matters to him <3

Out of curiosity, why would Wymack feel responsible for Riko at all? Also I thought he had no idea Kevin was his son? It’s been a while since I read aftg so I’m not sure though

Hello!

1. Kevin tells Wymack that he's Wymack's kid after Neil gets back from Baltimore, mostly due to pressure from Neil. It's so that they can try to get less media attention on the whole "Neil was kidnapped and nearly killed by his mafia serial killer father" ordeal.

2. Because I think that, after some time has passed after Riko's death, Wymack would see another person that he maybe, in another life, could have saved. That if he had known what was happening to Kevin and Riko growing up, that he would have been able to save them years and years of pain.

2.5. That guilt, at least in my opinion, would only grow as Wymack spends more time with Kevin. He'd learn more about Riko, the adoptive-brother-figure-of-his-son instead of Riko, the abuser. He'd see the slivers of what could have been but never was allowed to exist.

2.75. Also because then maybe Tetsuji Moriyama could have gone to jail for child abuse as well as for his horrific and psychologically abusive coaching "strategies" and it would have saved Jean Moreau from being subjected to being sold in the first place

#I can say a lot lot more #I have so many feelings about the regrets that wymack would feel later on in his life #and I think knowing that there were two boys that he could have and SHOULD have helped would be one of them #especially when one of those boys was his actual son #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #riko moriyama #aftg kevin #kevin day #jean moreau #aftg wymack #aftg riko #aftg jean #david wymack #wymack #coach wymack

big truther that kevin secretly and unironically likes when people call him princess like when the foxes make fun of him for being whiny and entitled sometimes (as he is wont to be) calling him princess day and princess kev he’s like wowww u guys suck but he’s actually like Please keep calling me that

there is indeed a fox freshman (corinne i believe?) in the ec who calls kevin a princess to his face. instead of "good morning sunshine" in the foxhole court spanish translation matt actually says "good morning, princess" to kevin. i feel like we started this out as a little joke but it's not one anymore. Perhaps it hasn't been in a long time

it's poised as an insult in both of these instances but i really think kevin just wouldn't care!!!!! one of the things that surprised me most about aftg was that kevin's queen motif wasn't IMMEDIATELY run to the ground by male sports fans because of the feminine associations!!!! the entire time i was waiting for the ball to drop and when it never did, i had a moment of relief sooooooooo potent. i still think it's not very well seen by the most eh. macho crowd but kevin will probably never be beloved by them anyway. either way i think kevin finds a lot of comfort in femininity :3

anyway this is all to say one day eventually someone (nicky) will call him babygirl to his face

#imo when riko died the perfect court fans divided themselves between kevin and jean #and jean got most of the fans that resented kevin for leaving edgar allen + for riko's death + for the queen motif #i think kevin is just pretty infamous for a moment there after riko's death honestly #lots of theories that he bullied riko and was the reason for his suicide too #so yeah it doesnt help him much that hes calling himself feminine terms either. but at this point you know.#my pretty girl i will defend you #kevin #asks

in a world with an aftg show (because it Has to be a show, not a movie) seth would have a Pretty Guy actor playing him who looked even prettier when he was sneering or scowling and people would make edits of him with the velocity + slo-mo effects and be like "i can fix him"

#and kevin would be it boy of the century and matt would be THE 2000s icon along with allison #neil's the one who looks scrappy and jumpy (which he is) but everyone's gonna be in love with his sharp tongue and hater behavior #everyone would either hate andrew or love him and obv i fall into the second category i'd be no. 1 andrew minyard apologist/defender/lover/#everyone (including myself) would love nicky if this adaptation of him didnt come with all those predatory jokes godbless #everyone else is an icon. yes even aaron who's way too detached from the foxes but he partially slays just being a fox and king of idgafdom #the girls are icons obviously duhhh #but i think with riko the actor would be soooo good and pretty like scary pretty that people make edits and the captions are like DISCLAIME #wymack would have sooo many edits with the sound of whatever's trending that's equivalent to the usher DADDY'S HOME one #i actually have so many thoughts ab an aftg show despite how much i dont want it like i cant help it! aftg slays too much!#these bitches r all too damaged! i love them all too much! i think ab them all the time!#lots of people hate but aftg and the foxes r genuinely some of the most well written relationships to me probably bc i can personally relat #and i think a show would allow for other scenes that we dont see in the book bc theyre all from neil's pov and we don't really find anythin #know anything ab the other foxes beyond what neil knows himself #and LEST I FORGET.

Nora: neils is auburn

Fandom : but ginger...

Me, an intellectual: given people's hair tends to darken as they grow and Neil hasn't actually seen his natural hair (aside from the roots which will look differently when the rest of your hair is dyed) since he was a child - it darkened to auburn as he grew but he never noticed because... its Neil and when it grows out fully only then will he actually be able to tell

Lets be real it won't even be him that notices it'll be Andrew or Allison

#aftg #all for the game #neil josten #cmon neils so oblivious to stuff he'd never actually notice the difference in colour #also... ptsd about his dad but y'know #riko just wanted him to look like he did whne he was a kid so he wouldnt care #source: ive dyed my hair a lot and my roots look brown until they get some length then they turn more blond #source: trust me bro #and the mirror thing... forgot to add that
