speaking of underrated aftg scenes: the scene in tkm where Allison is doing Neil's makeup to hide his scars and he decides to show the girls his tattoo

that's good shit.

#its a tiny scene. barely two pages. but i adore it #and it's not just their indignation on his behalf #it's also them piecing together his story about Christmas #and it's also Dan's mini conversation with Neil where she's upset and helplessly angry as she realizes just how bad it was for him at the #nest. and how easily they could've lost him to the Ravens #and how sad and tired of this shit she is when she talks to him and how he responds that he's working on the communication bit but he's #never had friends to know how this works #and it's also allison and dan (on Matt's behalf) immediately and without heaitation offering him money to get rid of the tattoo #and its also just the fact that they recognized the significance of it (and of *neil having it) right away #and its a prime example of neil doing something out of necessity and then being caught off guard when foxes show concern for him about it #its a good Family scene and its featuring neil's protective girls #allison reynolds #neil josten #dan wilds #renee walker #all for the game #aftg #the foxhole court #tfc #mine aftg
