I can’t get over how funny I find it when I look through the AFTG AUs on AO3 and every single one tags Andrew’s job but no one tags Neil’s job because because in a ‘normal’ circumstance we’ve all collectively decided he’s just that one strange guy everyone knows who shows up places and always seems to have an abundance of money but is never actually doing anything apart from stress-running and looking out of windows suspiciously

Okay so in my last Kevin post, I mentioned I have analysis' on how Kevin isn't a coward and how his trauma still affects him and you guys wanted to read it so here!
Why Kevin Day Isn’t a Coward: 
Essentially this comes down to 3 specific points in the fandom and even in the books since people are very adamant about the whole coward thing. The two things that people (in book and fandom-wise) use to argue that Kevin is a coward are: 
Kevin is still afraid/ doesn’t stand up to Riko 
That he left Jean behind in the nest.
Starting off with the first point. Kevin is still afraid and doesn’t stand up to Riko for the majority of the books. Firstly, we need to understand that Kevin has been abused from an extremely young age in the Nest and was conditioned into thinking that kind of behaviour was normal. And by that I mean specifically Riko’s abuse but before that, it was Coach Moriyama that abused both of them. 
He was stuck in the Nest for over a decade where his only role was “property” the entire time. That was all he would ever be to them and additionally to that, he wasn’t even allowed to be better than Riko. His entire life from the very start has been about exy but it was only after his mothers death where it became life or death. 
During tfc when Neil finds out how Kevin’s hand really broke Wymack says “But the day Kevin stops playing forever is the day he dies. He has nothing else. He wasn't raised to have anything else. Do you understand? We cannot lose to the Ravens this year. Kevin won't survive it."
He wasn’t raised to have anything else, exy is quite literally his everything, and without it, he has nothing and nobody. In this same scene, Wymack says, “Kevin doesn't talk about his time at Evermore, but I could tell it wasn't the first time Riko or Moriyama laid a hand on him. It was just the first time Kevin was smart enough to pack his bags and walk away.”
We never find out in detail what exactly happened to Kevin in the Nest but in TRK when Neil goes there we can see how deluded and obsessed Riko is with Kevin.
Neil moved up alongside him and regretted it almost immediately. Postcards of faraway cities both foreign and domestic were taped to the walls. Beneath each one were scraps of paper. Kevin's now-familiar scrawl listed dates and explanations for the travels. Most of them were games. Some indicated photo shoots and interviews. Books lined the shelves built into the headboard and Neil knew from skimming the spines they were Kevin's. Kevin was majoring in history for reasons Neil couldn't understand; these dry titles were the sorts of things he would find fascinating. It gave Neil chills to see his space preserved like this. It was like Kevin had gone out on an errand, not that he'd transferred to another team entirely.
Riko is so sure that Kevin is going to come back to him because he’s instituted such fear into him, he doesn’t think Kevin has the strength to stand up to him. Which he does, but people don’t seem to realise you can’t undo over a decade's worth of trauma overnight. 
Anyway, during Neil’s time in the Nest, he’s treated very similarly to how Kevin would be considering he was in his place but also not as harsh because they had to send Neil back to the Foxes inevitably.
"I am going to love hurting you," Riko said, "like I loved hurting Kevin."
What follows this is Riko tying Neil down and torturing him with a switchblade. By the time Neil leaves the Nest he doesn’t remember anything from the experience- he was so traumatised by it that he doesn’t remember it at all. (It also kinda sucks how Neil gets more sympathy for being in the nest for 2 weeks than Kev did for being there for over a decade.)
Putting this into perspective, Kevin went through that for so much longer and doesn’t get nearly enough of the same sympathy Neil did. Neil returned and Kevin got punched for letting him go even though he tried persuading Neil not to. Kevin has always had Neil’s best interest at heart. 
Kevin shook his head and bulled on when Neil started to argue. "The master wants to salvage you. He's going to sign you to the Raven lineup in spring. So long as you keep quiet and keep your head down he won't tell the main family he's found you." "I'm not a Raven," Neil said. "I never will be." "Then run," Kevin insisted, low and frantic. "It's the only way you'll survive."
Kevin was willing to sacrifice the only chance he had to prove his autonomy to the Moriyamas if it meant Neil would be safe. Without Neil, they wouldn’t have enough players to qualify and they wouldn’t be able to play at all. (Again: “But the day Kevin stops playing forever is the day he dies. He has nothing else. He wasn't raised to have anything else. Do you understand? We cannot lose to the Ravens this year. Kevin won't survive it.")
Not to mention the whole “Kevin was silent for an endless minute, then said, "You should be Court." It was barely a whisper, but it cut Neil to the bone. It was a resentful goodbye to the bright future Kevin had wanted for Neil. Kevin recruited Neil because he believed in Neil's potential. He brought him to the Foxes intending to make a star athlete out of him. Despite his condescending attitude and his dismissals of Neil's best efforts Kevin honestly expected Neil to make the national team after graduation.
And even after that, he promised to teach Neil, because at the end of the day, Neil was still Neil and he never gave up on him once.
And Neil understood that being on the run for 8 years was more preferable to the Nest. 
“But all Neil had to do was look at Kevin to know he would have hated that life 
too.”
Sorry I kinda went off track there anyway we can also see how much Riko’s presence still affects Kevin especially in scenes like the Kathy Ferdinand show. 
“Any animosity Neil felt toward Kevin for forcing him onto this show evaporated. He couldn't be angry when Riko was here, not when Riko was to Kevin what Neil's father was to him. Petty anger had nothing on this full-fledged terror.”
Obviously, we all know what a dickhead Neil’s dad was to him so Neil comparing the fear of his father being similar to Kevin’s fear of Riko is so important because it just puts into perspective how afraid Kevin is here face-to-face with his abuser the first time since said abuser permanently disabled him.
But what I don’t think is that Kevin has been standing upto Riko since the start because right after this when they were backstage, Kevin physically stopped Riko from hurting Neil even if it meant getting hurt by Riko again.
A black look twisted Riko's expression into something ugly and unrecognizable. He reached for Neil, but Kevin caught his arm to stop him. Riko slammed his elbow back into Kevin's face without missing a beat.
This scene is probably the best to describe how downright afraid Kevin is of Riko but there are others when Kevin has multiple panic attacks at just the thought of Riko or being in the same vicinity as him and rightfully so! Riko abused him, manipulated him and then took away the only thing he had. And Kevin was just forced to think this was okay. 
And a lot of characters and fans see his fear as cowardice instead of a normal trauma response. This is also because Neil tends to speak out more against Riko than Kevin (You know I get it…) but unlike Neil, Kevin has had direct repercussions towards him for the “mistake” of talking back to Riko which of course makes him hesitant. 
He knows the Moriyamas could drag him back at any moment and he's terrified of that happening.
Which leads to the second bit of “Kevin doesn’t stand up to Riko.” when many times, he has.
The most prominent example is in TRK, just after the foxes lost their first match to the ravens.
“You have fallen so far, Kevin. You should have stayed down and saved us the trouble of forcing you back to your knees." "I'm satisfied," Kevin said. It was the last response any of the Foxes expected from him. They forgot about Riko in favor of gaping at Kevin. "Not with their score or performance, but with their spirit. I was right. There's more than enough here for me to work with."
Kevin chose the foxes over the ravens- over Riko. He doesn’t allow their loss to become something Riko can use against him but instead something to affirm his current standing with them. This is also the first game Andrew played without his meds meaning he’s crashed by the end of it.
Kevin distracted the Ravens from Andrew's unsteadiness by facing them.
Kevin willingly turned to talk to his ex-abuser and his team if it meant Andrew wouldn’t be under fire. Most people only see Kevin and Andrew as Andrew protecting Kevin but Kevin protected Andrew just as much.
And of course we have the whole tattoo removal and the last exy match against the foxes but I need everyone to understand that those are so so so important. Kevin spent the entire series save the last quarter of the last book viewing himself as Riko’s property. Riko refers to him as such and even without Riko near him, his control is still strong over Kevin.
So Kevin removing his tattoo and replacing it with something with a higher hierarchical structure than Riko’s status as king is so detrimental, it’s a turning point for him because he’s viewing himself as his own person now. And Kevin scoring the winning goal brings us full circle because the last time he did that with Riko, he ended up disabled and shunned.
This brings me to my second point about Kevin running away from the nest. Alot of people see Kevin escpaing from the nest and leaving behind Jean as an act of cowardice. This bit gets a bit complicated because in no way shape or form am I trying to compare trauma’s or anything like that.
But to continue on. The ravens had a very strict policy that we got to see during Neil's experience one of which being that no matter how injured they were, they were still expected to show up to practice. The more mistakes they made the more punishment they'd find themselves in. Not showing was practically a death wish.
Now Kevin having his hand fucking broken would mean thay either he doesn't practise and get punished or practise with his fucked up hand and further damage it. If he stayed I wholeheartedly believe he would've died.
He ran away to save his life and that will never be cowardice not once. He didn't go to Wymack immediately when he found out because he knew what kind of target he'd paint on Wymacks back.
"He was trying to protect him," Neil said. "If Coach knew Kevin was his son, he'd have tried to take him from Edgar Allan." Nicky grimaced. "They'd have never let Kevin go." 
He only left when he had no other option. He had nothing left, the one thing he did have was taken away from him, he had no purpose and for once Riko didn't care enough about him to pay attention. And he used that to run.
Leaving Jean behind was something he always regretted, but it was a game of survival. Jean was a gift to the Moriyamas, he was also property to them and couldn't leave. And if the roles were reversed I strongly believe Jean would've done the same thing.
Also Kevin finds a place for him layer with the trojans because he knew that being a fox wouldn't be good for him.
"He isn't safe with us," Kevin said. "I won't give him false hope."
Staying in the nest would've been suicide for Kevin. He's one of the biggest victims in the series but nobody talks about it enough I fear and there's so much to learn about him via context clues etc.
And the saddest thing in my opinion is that Kevin knew was it was like to be loved, he was raised by his mother for a few years before going to the Moriyamas. 
ANYWAY to conclude, I suck at essays and I hope I've worded everything well and what I'm trying to say gets across. Kevin is not a coward, never has been a coward and never will be. He's survived through such a damaging and abusive environment only to get moved to a separate environment where everyone just ridicules his defense tactics and he has no real sense of support. 
His reasons for what he does always stems from the fact the he doesn't want to go back to being under Riko and Coach Moriyamas "care" and that he's afraid. And most of the time it's things he can't shake from the nest.
Like when he pushes the foxes its so they're always at their best and so none of them get hurt or punished for mistakes. He pushed himself the hardest because he doesn't want to directly affect his teammates. 
Or the celebrity persona he was forced to develop.
Or how he makes sure everyone is staying healthy and that they don't force themselves to play when sick or injured because he knows what it's like to be forced to play like that day after day. 
AND IVE GONE OFF COURSE AGAIN yeah I kinda mashed together both analysis' of how Kevin's trauma from the nest affects him and how he's not a coward into one thing AND THIS IS SUPER LONG so if ur still here thank you very much for reading I really hope this makes sense

In the future when Andrew and Neil are happy, in love and married, Andrew would often use divorce as a threat. He is of course not serious. He won't say out loud that they are forever. 
But Neil felt in the way he would sometimes stare at him unblinking, soft, unguarded. The look that says: “Nobody will take me away from you and nobody will take you away from me. I will hold onto you with legs and arms and if I lose those I will use my teeth, I will be feral, I will be brutal, I will let out the monster they thought of me to stay with you.”
Anyway he usually threatens Neil with divorce, whenever Neil is impossibly irritating. He of course knows Andrew doesn't mean it. And Andrew exists in a perpetual state of irritation because of that. On one hand he likes that Neil realizes they are serious and Andrew will never walk away.
On second hand, Have dare Neil not take his threat seriously??? How dare he roll his eyes and scoff with a smile??? How dare he dismiss Andrew with a wave of hand and “yeah yeah sure darling”????
That being said, it irritates Andrew so much that he decided to do something about it, to wipe that smirk off Neil’s face.
And now whenever Neil and Andrew are arguing and Andrew threatens with divorce the next day Neil is forced to do the shame dance of calling their lawyer and being like 
“No, no, do not process that petition for divorce Andrew sent you. I know he wrote in his email that this time he is serious. Yes I know he wrote that he is “Serious serious SERIOUS” I know he wrote that three times and this is something he doesn't usually do. I know. He also sent you second divorce papers this morning? in fax??? we don't have a fax machine??? … no, no, don't process these documents either.”
All while Andrew sits nearby, looking at him smugly in silence.

my favourite type of ace attorney breakdown is the one where a character who doesn’t normally smile/doesn’t smile in a genuine way for an entire case finally does it in that “it’s finally over” sort of way. like it just hits so different
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
or alternatively the character who’s normally super upbeat finally breaking down and admitting they’re not okay/finally acting serious and letting you see the moment sink in with them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
bonus one for the universal “oh shit everything is fucked” sprite every member of the wright anything agency is required to have

Even moar mob au?
am currently on brainrot despite being half-asleep
Krej's Bar/main hangout is called The Garden
Shawn Thornton owns a gym, which was their old hangout. The boys still go there, just mostly to train and to catch up with some of their old friends.
The Bruins' territory/home turf is Boston, spreading out around Massachusetts. They believe it is their responsibility to uphold their own brand of justice, keep the peace. Which is probably why Marchy was less torn up than expected about them upon realizing who the B's actually were.
The people of Boston love them. They keep them safe after all. Petty thievery, hate crimes, assault, are all against the code of the B's. Do anything that passes a certain limit, they will cut a smile into your face.
Monty is their contact in the police department. The police have a tentative agreement for whenever they catch wind of other gangs planning something in Boston and they don't want to get in the middle of it they get to tell the Bruins.
Matt Grzelcyk was Charlie McAvoy's senior in college/university. Matt always seemed like a kind soul so it puzzled Charlie as to why he willingly joined the B's
Marchy willingly chooses to help the B's commit tax evasion purely because "the rich can suck it and can stand to lose a few million anyway". Bergy found that hilarious and barked out a laugh so out-of-character everyone in the room stared at him for a solid 10 seconds. That's how Marchy got the unofficial approval of everyone, anyone who can make Bergy laugh like that is someone worth keeping.
Marchy was nicknamed Squirrel for many reasons. Including the way he can run circles around the law. Or the ability to run into trouble on the street and somehow get away from it. But the main one is because some drunk guy at The Garden tried to goad him into a fight by calling him a squirrel, and when Marchy didn't bite, attempted to throw a punch, but ended up tripping and falling over. The nickname stuck ever since.
The B's insisted on Marchy learning self-defense. So sometimes he goes to Thorty's gym to train. He learned mostly from Andrew Ference and the Merlot Line.
He's always bullied by the old B's, but they will throw hands at anyone who fucks with their lawyer-squirrel. It still stands even after they retire, it's just part of the code. They protect their own.
Nick Foligno just came to The Garden for a drink after moving to Boston, and managed to befriend Krej in the fastest, most genuine way. They just enjoy trading barbs and life experiences.
Chris Kelly, who was once a sniper on the B's, now an advisor, found out Fliggy was from an old Family (mafia) and told Krej. That didn't deter him, at all. Uncle Nick was nice to everyone after all.
Tumblr media
One night when Chara and Krej were out on a walk they found a teenager Pasta passed out cold. After nursing him back to health Pasta just kept coming back. No one's stopping him. Certainly not Krej's mother hen instincts. He's part of the gang as a runner now.
Yea I love the 2011 Bruins a lot can't you tell?
There's more but i feel like i wrote too much now. @blindbatalex rn it really is just no plot just vibes send help maybe there is some plot but everythings a mess rn

one of my favourite headcanons is that andrew in fact does not go pro and instead becomes a lawyer. i don't understand people who say he goes pro because it seems so just not right for him? but each to their own. in my opinion he studies law further and becomes a really successful lawyer <3

I have the sudden urge to make an all for the game amv set to "I wanna be your slave" by måneskin just because I have a VERY vivid image of a scene with all the foxes standing in a circle back to back to each other and the camera spinning around in fits and stops and focusing on each of them during the chorus that goes "and I'm a __ that is searching for redemption" and each of them is focused on in one of the blanks, I can't stop thinking about it it's ruining my life

People calling Kevin toxic for andriel are we reading the same series???
Did you miss Kevin taking care of Andrews's meds which is such a trusting thing on Andrew's behalf because he's gone his life doing things alone but now Kevin's offered to help and not interfere in Andrews's life and business and RESPECTING HIS BOUNDARIES???
Did you miss Kevin threatening Neil to tell him his actual condition and NOT the "I'm fine" bullshit he's constantly saying.
Did you miss Kevin being the FIRST person to see something in Andrew? Even before Neil did, not his cousin, not his brother not the system but Kevin fucking Day saw something in him and promised to give him something to structure his life around??? Kevin believed in him whether on not Andrew was on his meds.
Did you miss Kevin telling Neil to run away when he finds out his identity because he doesn't want Neil to be caught back up with the Moriyama's. It's too late for Kevin to escape, he's been under the limelight for years now and Exy is the only thing he'd been brought up to know. But he wanted Neil to run even if it meant the Foxes couldn't qualify to play he was willing to give up the thing cared most about to keep Neil safe.
"The day Kevin stops playing is the day he dies. He has nothing else. He wasn't raised to have anything else. Do you understand? We cannot lose to the Ravens this year. Kevin won't survive it." KEVIN WAS WILLING TO GIVE THAT UP FOR NEILS SAFETY.
Did you miss how Kevin purposefully feigned disinterest in Andrew when he was with the Raven's because he didn't want to drag Andrew into the nest??
Did you miss Kevin fucking Day grabbing Riko Moriyama's arm- his LITERAL abuser to stop him from hurting Neil?? Did you miss how Riko immediately hit Kevin back but it didn't stop Kevin from trying.
HELL I COULDN GO ON AND ON DO NOT FUCKING TRY THIS WITH ME Kevin saved Andrew and Neil just as much as they saved him goodnight

I know this is whiplash after all the boop memes I've reblogged.
But thinking about Michael and Jake both being thrusted with duty as Head Counselors and hardly getting room to mourn.
How Jake then had to loose Michael, the only one who possibly understood what he was going through at the time, and see a thirteen year old Will have to take his place.
Jake at least had a couple days to breathe why Percy was dealing with underworld stuff before the BoM.
Will doesn't get that. And honestly I completely believe Jake was first to offer support for Will during this. Especially as almost the whole Apollo cabin is wiped out and Will still has to push through it. Between that and the Hephaestus cabin curse I honestly think both Head Counselors got close.
Also, Jake loosing Leo(even if he comes back) the same way that he lost Beckendorf
AND WE DON'T GET THEM REKINDLING
Ugh,now want to write that 😭

*Kicks the door down* I have an idea
Okay so the Professors always the hero, the big strong smart guy we always look up to
But you know how Phoenix lost his badge?
Okay, okay, hearrrrrrrrr me out. Layton loses his archeology license, his teaching license, and on top of that, gets exiled from England. And let's say it was because of a false criminal accusation...
And news reaches Phoenix...
Someones gonna save the Professor, for once. For once, he's the one in a dire situation. And his heroes gonna be Phoenix
