i've seen a lot of people talking about how different kevin is from jean's pov and i just have to say that kevin isn't different in tsc, neil just isn't jean.
neil's pov of kevin is more than the simple flip between Kevin Day the Celebrity and Kevin Day the Insufferable Bitch (which is a consistent trait across all three pov's we see kevin trough) or Kevin Day the Coward. i would even go as far as to say that kevin is infinitely more complex through neil's eyes because neil can't decide how he feels about kevin.
for jean it's almost simpler (almost). he loved kevin; 'once upon a time he would have done anything for (kevin)', but then kevin left and jean felt betrayed and abandoned and he wanted to hate kevin but at the end of the day he doesn't. he knows kevin in ways neil doesn't and may never, but to say that we only see kevin's sincere intentions and gentleness through jean's eyes is just incorrect.
kevin and jean can't even speak to each other because before they can ever get anywhere they will have to talk about riko and what riko did to them and in turn the things that made them do to each other. kevin and jean go no contact because that is better than talking about riko, but when neil came back from evermore kevin was willing to revisit those nightmares he'd been running from if neil needed to talk about it and the fact 'that he tried at all was so unexpected neil felt it like a balm to every bruised inch of his skin.'
kevin feels 'bottomless guilt' for leaving jean to riko, he is likely tormented by everything he was forced to standby and watch or even participate in. kevin is broken when neil begins to get to know him in the foxhole court but that gentleness that jean sees, the complexity of kevin's vulnerability and his defensive, detached disposition is just as present in neil's observations. neil is more apprehensive about it than jean, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

can we stop pretending that Riko didn't torture Jean for shits and giggles? like literally he stopped doing certain things because Jean stopped fighting back and it "wasn't fun anymore". after this post I'm gonna stay out of it (maybe) and go back to Andrew content, but it's absolutely wild to me that you can say "Riko was an abusive asshole" and people will argue with you about it
(check tags I'm lazy)

Trump barred from Colorado primary ballot by Colorado Supreme Court ruling Trump ineligible for another presidency due to engaging in insurrection. It was a close decision 4-3. Link to NPR in subsequent reblog.

casual fucking reminder that Neil stayed for the foxes, for all his family. he did not only stay for like. Andrew and Matt. he did not fight tooth and nail for all of them and call them "family" just for people to be like "he stayed for Andrew, he's friends with Matt and he merely puts up with the rest of them." let him have what he fought like hell for

law articles are always such a drag and also very funny sometimes. reading one for my sociology class that contextualizes itself by going "so when dobbs v jackson happened, we (the authors) theorized that abortion rights could be based in the equal protections clause instead of the 14th amendment. the judge said that didnt apply here. the judge also didnt acknowledge any of our many arguments about why actually, it would apply here! so we're going to talk about it more to reinforce what a fucking ignorant, misogynistic douchebag he is!" in so many words
