I think if I had to make exactly one change to aftg I would make Neil...not a pyromaniac, but definitely a habitual arsonist. Would it be fucked up for his preferred mode of violence to be his last connection to his mother? Yes. But imagine how funny these books would be if Neil had to constantly argue himself out of burning Evermore down and running for the hills before anyone can stop him.

reporter: Mr. Josten was there a reason you chose the number ten while with the foxes?

Neil: it’s because im twice the man Aaron will ever be

some random details from the extra aftg content that i love (yes these are all canon)

  • when the cousins first met the rest of the foxes (a year before neil joined), nicky was wearing a shirt that said ‘let’s get one thing straight, i’m not’ (of course he would)
  • Andrew: "Maybe next year Coach will recruit a quiet child that won't bother anyone." LMAO
  • Nicky is a gemini and that just makes sense
  • Seth had six brothers??
  • "Originally, Andrew and Aaron were inseparable. For years their obsessive devotion to each other made them a reliable cornerstone for the Foxes story to wrap around. " well. a lot is different there lol
  • Matts backstory is darker than is shown in the books :(
  • Andrew and Aaron doing the whole "tell Andrew that.." thing instead of talking directly to each other lol
  • Andrew just casually breaking into Wymack's apartment. iconic
  • "He swigged straight from the mouth, which was a pretty good sign he was pissed at David. Until Neil moved in this May, Andrew had made an almost biweekly habit of breaking into David's apartment. Most of the time he was just after David's alcohol, but he'd started using cups around the tenth visit." iconic duo
  • Dan working so hard to get an exy scholarship to leave
  • Wymack's backstory is also really dark :( i love him
  • "Danielle Wilds," Wymack said, speaking slowly to give his words emphasis, "I will never give up on you." STOP THEYRE KILLING ME
  • Renee fighting off a group attacking her and Dan, finishing by breaking a guy's nose with her bible

Todays useless thought that gives me great joy is Andrew, high off his ass, pacing Wymack's living room at 3 am ranting about the new guy he has a crush on and Wymack being forced to listen to it

I’m realizing that my favorite genre of media is just deeply sad young adults becoming family as they go on dangerous, epic adventures. I don’t know what this says about me.

Ok, hear me out: The first time Andrew saw Neil wouldn’t have been when he hit him with the Exy racket in the Milport locker rooms. 

It doesn’t make sense to me that Wymack, Kevin, and Andrew would have come all the way out to Millport to sign Neil on a game day, and not watched Neil play. They would have been there to watch the game.

The first time Andrew saw Neil would have been when Neil was playing his very last high school Exy game—the game Neil thought would be his last one ever.

Just—Imagine Andrew watching Neil anxiously buzzing on the sidelines until he gets put in the game, watching Neil play with the canonical desperation of a boy who knows that this is his last chance, watching him pull his helmet off at the end of the game, first, noticing how attractive he is, and second, watching the expression of grief that washes over his face when he realizes that it’s over. Now, imagine all of this happening through the terrible, euphoric haze of Andrew’s medication.

No wonder this man was so convinced that Neil wasn’t real. 

Riko: I’ll kill everybody you love!

Neil without missing a beat: I love my dad.

Riko stuttering: Wha-what?

Neil with intense eye contact: I love my dad so much. He is the best. I dont know what i would do without him in my life. I love him the most in the world. If there was somebody I wouldnt want to be killed it would be for sure my dad. I just love him so much.

Riko: Neil: Riko: You know maybe I’ll just stick to the emotional and physical torture.

Neil: Coward.

Bc it got popular on twitter,

an edit of the court I made for a project & ended up not using. Found it in my files today and decided I still like it a lot 🦊

neil thinking kevin and andrew were a thing after renee told him andrew was gay is the funniest thing yes but i love how he didn't dare assume andrew's sexuality, kevin tho he was like yeah...sus
