#it’s probably about nora

[cubbyyyy]

Neil is there to protect the one who protects them all.

Andrew always knew how to protect. He sure has his own ways that many fail to understand but the bottom line stays the same.

With Neil coming into his life he gets to be something else than just the protector - which I want to talk about here.

The exy obsessed junkie who claims to only care about his own survival is the first one who sees beyond Andrews play - who sees that Andrew doesn’t take care of himself at all. Too busy keeping an eye on everyone to care about what happens to his own self. And Neil hates it furiously.

So Neil puts Andrew first.

Starting with his health. Exy is important to Neil but he knows Andrew needs to get off the drugs first. The foxes found it easier to deal with Andrew while he’s on drugs, so they didn’t put much effort into changing that - Neil though. Neil saw what the drugs did to Andrew. So they had to get rid off it as fast as possible.

So he makes a deal. He gives up a piece of a truth, gives a promise and makes him go take care of himself.

He punches Riko because he couldn’t stop himself.

He agrees to go to Evermore - he agrees to torture just to keep Andrew save.

Afterwards he refuses to back down his care after being explicitly told to. “If it means loosing you then no”.

After being brutally tortured, one of the first things he does is inspecting Andrews bruises. Inspecting Andrews bruises the same way Andrew inspects his. “All that time fighting and you never learned how to duck?”

He told the cops off when they indicated getting Andrew off him “you’ll what, asshole?”

He was there in a heartbeat the second Andrew got pushed in the final game. And only backed off after checking Andrew was really alright.

For the first time Andrew has someone who has his back the same way he had the backs of everyone else for years. Andrew is fiercely protective and for the first time he is fiercely protected too.

“You are a pipe dream.”

OKAY OKAY here we goooo an annoyingly long-ish post about all my thoughts on The Sunshine Court

Spoilers Spoilers Spoilersss you've been warned

First things first it is so interesting to see Nora writing from not one but TWO new people's perspective. Jean's perspective is just devastating being inside his head is heartbreaking the constant fear and panic and how much of his energy is used on just pushing down every memory of what was done to him. His coping mechanisms are terrifying and i truly do hope by the end of book 2 he has a healthier way of dealing with it bc baby boy stop hurting yourself :( Every sentence was so painful to read. But also his resilience the entire time to get through it no matter what, god i fucking love him!!! He is a fighter.

Jeremy's perspective is sooooo refreshing. He is such a little sweetheart i could cry. The fact that he sends hand written letters and he's so caring and genuine but he can also be so stern. When he dropped that "i asked you a question" to Lucas fkehdjdfjdh OK SIR. I'M SAT. His relationship with the family butler is so endearing as well i need more background on that for sure! My only one criticism is that he didn't have enough pov chapters and i'm hoping we'll learn more in the second book of course because there's still so much about him and his (dysfunctional? toxic?) family dynamic that we don't know yet but also i'm greedy and i wanna know EVEYTHING about him !!!

Kevin and Jean are so just tragic it actually breaks my fucking heart like "you didn't have to slit my throat on the way out" JEAN??? and "promise me you won't try again. I can't lose you." KEVIN??? And the fact that Jean to this day is still keeping that promise. Also Jean's obvious but secret long term crush on Kevin the way it's subtly dropped every time Jean has to stamp down on his desire's and "temptations" GOD PLEASE I CAN'T STAND IT

SPEAKING OF!!! BISEXUAL JEAN ??? BI JEAN??? BI JEANNNN !!!!

Neil and Jean oh my God like where do i even start?? The guilt Jean feels at what happened to Neil in the Nest and him finally calling him by his name after Riko's death and telling him his game was good. And Neil seriously needs to give himself more credit for how much of a caring person he is because the way he indirectly told Jean that he thinks he is worth saving and didn't even hesitate before asking Stuart to send someone after That Guy after what Jean told him. Neil Josten the man that you are!!!

Jean's little sister Elodie what a beautiful name. Them being so close and him reading to her. The way he found out about her death jolted me differently. It was so awful and i'm so sorry Jean didn't get to see her grow up and meet her again.

Renee and Jean oh my god. Jean thinking she's beautiful (bitch me toooo) And the whole right person wrong time ugh i can't stand it. Him wearing her necklace all the time, enough that Jeremy always notices it. And unabashedly stealing her picture from the foxes lounge. Like he did not give a fuck. He said this one is mine. One good reason to stay alive being rainbows i'm gonna FKSJSKDHDH. Theirs would be such a soft love.

Speaking of soft loves Laila and Cat are EVERYTHINGGGG. God they are so cute with their little domestic life and their rich gay boy son who crashes on their couch with his cardboard cut out dog. That whole friendship dynamic is beautiful. Their fierce protectiveness and care over Jean as well and the patience they have with him even after the little kitchen incident. When Cat took Jean out for a drive on her motorcycle god that was such a heart warming moment and Jean helping them cook as well and becoming the girls' little sous chef it's so cute so endearing !!!

FINALLY FINALLY THE JEREJEAN DYNAMIC

PLEASE I'M GONNA SCREAM

Jeremy being the one who told Jean that Riko was dead i don't even know what to begin with THAT like hhhhhhh. The way they're both stupidly attracted to each other but won't/can't do anything about it. THE WHOLE "say yes Jeremy" SCENE WTF WAS THATTT I WAS GOING INSANEEEE. Both of them having to stop mid sentence when they catch the other looking FINE as hell. Jean being so obvious that even Lucas picks up on the way he looks at Jeremy. Jeremy being there to ground Jean in a Moment and helping him come down from it. Grabbing his face and telling him he's okay. Moving into the room with him to make him feel more comfortable !! The way Jean grabs Jeremy's chin (boiiiii). Jeremy constantly reminding Jean that he is NOT A RAVEN ANYMORE no matter how many times he has to say it. Jeremy saying he'll wait as long as it takes until Jean speaks to him. JEREMY GIVING HIM A HUG AND JEAN CLUTCHING DESPERATELY TO HIS SHIRT FUUCUFHDHSJHSSUHDH and then the "will you help me?" And the "Anything you need" AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE A CERAMICS CLASS TOGETHER?!?!?!!!! i can't i can't i can't i caaan'ttt

There's so much more to say but i'm gonna leave it at this for now because i need to go re-read it again and take my time with it this time round but i really could not have asked for anything better Nora truly outdid herself here !!! I'm forever grateful she blessed us with this after so long.

#i will probably be talking about all of this and more when it's safer to do so without spoilers #but yeah i just i cannot stress enough how PERFECT it was #everything i could want and more #god i love nora sm #the sunshine court spoilers #tsc spoilers #the sunshine court #tsc #all for the game #aftg #jean moreau #jeremy knox #renee walker #kevin day #neil josten #laila dermott #catalina alvarez #usc trojans #jerejean #jeanee #kevjean

Tsc really shows us why Neil josten is Nora’s favourite character (as he should be) (he should be everyone’s favourite character)

#and tysm Nora for showing how wrong people have been about his character when Neil was always the most feral one out of everyone #the fandom is as blind as the foxes no one gets him like I do #once again pushing my agenda that Neil josten is the most dangerous character in the entire aftg (not counting ichirou) #this is similar to a previous post I made but whatevr this was in my drafts first lol #now I cant wait to read fanfics where Neil is finally finally the more feral one I cant wait #but so sad meaning if I read older fics neil is probably still uwu baby😭😭😭 #but anyways #aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court #aftg series #aftg fandom #aftg incorrect quotes #andrew minyard #neil josten #andrew joseph minyard #neil abram josten #nathaniel wesninski #the sunshine court #tsc #tsc and aftg supremacy #aftg thoughts #aftg shitpost #aftg textpost #aftg trilogy #aftg neil

[crescent--rose]

is it normal to stare at a girls neck and then blush when she catches you looking and be very dejected when she leaves? no. thats gay

#okay but why is she blushing about being caught staring. i know what you are #rwby #rwby v9 #rwby v9 spoilers #neon katt #nora valkyrie #mine #do they have a ship name. they need one now i think #friend suggested thundercat(s) as in that old show but that seems dangerous (tag probably already has so much unrelated content in it) #sugar crash #rwby sugar crash #<- per discussion in replies

[broken-heart-raven-queen]

I bet that if Renee wasn't adopted by a catholic woman she'd be 100% a believer in tarot and when she met Neil the cards knew he was a lying time bomb for certain death but she wouldn't have told him that directly because they also said that he could find his own way.

#Just a silly hc to make up for my last post #she would have a very nice and used deck #andrew probably would tell her he doesn't believe but also ask her a lot of questions #9/10 questions ended up being about neil #she would want a read of her and jean's relationship too #aftg #all for the game #aftg brainrot #nora sakavic #neil josten #renee walker #andrew and renee's friendship >>>

[moonsnqil]

i'm imagining andreil during sophomore year with neil peeking over the side of andrew's bunk bed and asking "yes or no?" because he wants permission to sleep there for the night and kevin across the room ten seconds away from losing it bc he's been hearing that damn question almost every night since the semester started and he loves his roommates, he does, but he wants to scream at them to stfu and just go to sleep already

#i think kevin likes that andrew and neil have each other despite him worrying about how it could ruin the couple's professional career #BUT #he lives with them and lets be honest theyre probably his closest friend so therefore hes had to witness neil staring at andrew /like that/ #and them asking each other yes or no a billion times #and andrew threatening to stab him with a knife if he tries to push neil too hard in exy or brings up their past #and kevin is tired of having the dietary conversation with andrew who eats more ice cream than a 2 year old #and neil keeps skipping watching old games with him bc andrew wants to stay in bed and neil never says no to cuddling or whatever they do #basically. kevin is fed up with them #does this make sense to yall? like do you see the vision? #aftg #andreil #the foxhole court #all for the game #nora sakavic #tfc

Aloy, Chaotic Bean.

I adore this, so, so much! This is what Aloy, in my head, looks like when she’s in her chaotic moods. I love lil Aloy so much. Pt. 1 of the commissioned pieces.

Illustrated by @fumikaandy0.8 on instagram. 10/10 would recommend. She did this on her phone. It’s totally mind blowing. The skills???

cuties i love talking about kevin day with you and this blog is mostly run on asks and kekeing with you all but i must ask that you don't send me any more asks doomguessing about tsc. i understand and sometimes i even agree but it's just not something i'm interested in talking about! the world is so beautiful and large and kevin day has the prettiest wettest biggest eyes in the world. send me asks about him instead ok

#im not anon scolding its just that (motions vaguely) #ive done my due talking about all the things that are bad in aftg #the racism specifically gets to me the most and i dont want to talk about it anymore #if you scroll down my blog you will find my criticism of how thea and nicky and riko were handled #you will find it all #and im not interested in rehashing it anymore #i dont know if nora sakavic has changed or not in the past ten years #and im not particularly interested in guessing either #i enjoy the original aftg work and its what ill keep blogging about unless #kevin day is so prevalent in tsc its inevitable for me to read it #if that is not the case then i probably wont bother with it #and if youre afraid itll be a bad book you shouldnt either #lets talk about kevin instead. Forever #i promise outside of my little kevin day microblog i already have plenty to worry about re: the horrors #i am a real life communist if you can believe it #so i understand. and i know. but we must be happy #its the only way to exist #txt

put Nora (my Fernweh Saga MC) into the height difference site just for the sake of visuals and it's everything I hoped for

she is so leetle (5'3", to be exact)

I headcanon that she's the exact same height she was when she left Fernweh. And also that she has some clothes that were left at the Corvin house that definitely still fit her...

something something "not growing past your trauma" something something "everyone else grew up and moved on but you're the same as you ever were"

(some vaguely-related thoughts, under the cut)

deciding that Eleanor's super short was kind of what solidified James/Reese/Silas/Becca as her RO variations

because as much as I love Ruby being defensive on behalf of a short MC, Reese teasing her about her height was just so good. And then I had to pick James for the whole "you know you aren't actually the tallest person here, Reese 🙄" scene.

I've been torn between Silas and Sofia the most out of all of them, but after joining the patreon and seeing the portraits, Silas has won out on account of he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen ever 😳🥺

and then I chose Becca because A) I wanted at least one female RO dammit, and B) something about having all of Nora's Fernweh friends being men and the friend she met outside of town being a woman feels very poignant, especially with the way the townsfolk treat Becca like an outsider. It's also very true to my lived experience; most of my friends as a kid were boys, but most of the ones I've made as an adult are women. I don't know why that is, but here we are.

(I don't know that purple is Nora's color, I see her more as a light/neon blue (or like a dusky magenta?), but I didn't want her color to be too similar to Silas's, so I picked purple. Reese's color is more black than red, also, but I like a rainbow.)

anyway I just really, really want her to borrow a shirt or something from James or Silas because the visual is perfection

#fernweh saga #nora gray #anyway I'm stuck in fernweh now (as I'm meant to be ;) ) and will probably be talking about nora a lot now that I've finished all 5 routes #do feel free to send me asks/prompts/whatever about her :3 if you want no pressure obvs #(as with most of my if mcs I'm doing all the romance routes with her so they're all fair game) #nora wearing one of james's flannel shirts and it's just. SO BIG on her. and she's like 🥰 about it and james is staring like 🥺 IMAGINE

just got the time to start the sunshine court and I'm Vibrating out of my skin

#i did not think it was possible for me to like a character this much three chapters into a book #i might actually end up liking Jean better than Neil which is saying a Lot #something about a character whose route to survival had to be giving in and staying small instead of fighting back or running away #something about a character who has been taught to lock up their emotions for years or suffer the consequences #something about a character who is resigned to what happens to them because that's the only way they can survive in their environment #I am desperately hoping that Jean learns how to be ANGRY outwardly without permission. #I need that boy to be able to Rage out loud and do it MESSY #because I'm not convinced he's going to be able to really smile until he does #Also I'm really appreciating both the Renee and Thea content we've desperately needed more of both of them and they showed up so quick #privately hoping both stay present for a while but tbh i'm just excited for where this is headed #Anyways I also just fixated on Jean Moreau then discovered that (SPOILERS) he's 19???? Almost the same age as me??? hate riko hate riko HAT #anyway sorry riko enjoyers i know he's Complicated but I never liked him in the first place #and this book is making me look forward to his death even more than I did when I first read aftg. So. #listen i know he has Issues. I know Ichirou killing him without a second thought is probably the cruelest way that he personally can die #I also want him dead and gone. Those statements can and should coexist imho. #the sunshine court #jean moreau #really looking forward to finding out more about Jeremy too #this is gonna be a wild ride #jeremy knox #all for the game #love how nora's writing and characters can grab me in a chokehold and refuse to let me go thank you nora for the food

Thinking about Yoshida’s offer in Chapter 120

So, there’s been a bunch of buzz, despair, and rage at Yoshida’s offer to Asa to accompany him after Asa’s date with Denji went south. There’s been a bunch of people rolling their eyes at Yoshida being another Makima and how he’d never live up to the original because she had so much presence and he doesn’t. And I would agree. But if the whole “Part 2 is a shoujo remix of part 1″ theory holds true, Yoshida wouldn’t be another Makima. He’d be another Reze. Think about it.

He’s another dark-haired, good-looking, mysterious devil-involved person (I guess) who would show up to sweep the MC off their feet. And I think it’s pretty obvious that Yoshida isn’t actually interested in Asa (for now), but rather he thinks she’s extremely sus, just like Reze was originally after Denji’s literal, physical heart. There’d be a date or two that Asa really enjoys because Yoshida might actually have some idea of what a normal human date is supposed to look like, as opposed to Asa’s and Denji’s ideas. Then Yoshida would decide that Asa and Yoru are too dangerous to be left alive and we get another fight scene, just like what happened between Denji and Reze. And you know what happened to Reze at the end of the Bomb Girl Arc?

That’s right, we might get to see Yoshida brutally murdered.

Now it’s also possible that Yoshida doesn’t actually to do the boyfriend thing and he’ll instead try to steer Asa back to Denji so he stops going “HEY LADIES I’M CHAINSAW MAN AND I LOVE WOMEN SO MUCH PLEASE DATE ME”, but I’d like to address some of the other outcomes before people start wailing in despair.

#Chainsaw man #csm denji #asa mitaka #csm yoshida #yoshida hirofumi #asaden #yoru csm #csm #nora once again i am sorry for confusing you if you actually read this post #at this point you're probably like what the fuck is chainsaw man about? is this the world's most fucked up romcom? #and i'd think that's pretty accurate #at least part 2 is #cw: blood #i guess???

[wifegideonnav]

when character A is trying to throw themself at something that will hurt them because they can’t accept that someone or something is a lost cause and character B is holding them back. and A goes from fighting tooth and nail against B to clinging onto them in their grief as they realize it’s too late. that one does make me feel things yeah.

#op #i read the scene in the kings men by nora sakavic where neil is trying to carve the tattoo off his face with a knife #and wymack tackles him and holds him down and neil says ‘help me’ and wymack says ‘let me’ #and i have not stopped thinking about it since #anyway i just wrote a scene like that and went huh yeah this is a trope that gets me actually #and it probably *is* nora’s fault

[jeanmoreaux]

just opened twitter and saw nora posted something for the first time in ages 11h ago what is happening

#probably it means nothing but the way stevie and i have been manifesting aftg special editions #nora probably felt we were talking about her and the fact that tfc turned 10!!!!!!!!

[prancingintheshadows]

I need to stop looking at posts from the r/fnki (the RWBY meme subreddit). It's either going to be fellating a male character or its just someone's opinion disguised as a meme and, as I've learned several times, I don't like r/fnki's opinions. Legit saw people saying if RNJR was in the Ever After instead of RWBY, Ruby wouldn't have drunk the tea.

#rwby #Like I like RNJR but they acted like RWBY flat out don't care about each other #Like are they serious? #Half of RNJR was already down there #And Jaune was probably the biggest factor in Ruby drinking that tea #And don't act like Nora doesn't have her own self worth issues she has to work through too #Post semblance evolution Ren probably would've helped though

I imagine growing up with someone who you are very close to (having a sibling or even a parent relationship) and care about a lot only to have them die and be reincarnated with no past memory of you or your time together probably hurts a lot.
