"Every time he blinked, he saw Neil broken and still on the floor" — That part is insane because Neil is never still. He is always running his mouth, always ready to bolt. Even after his father caught him, he fought back and still had something to say to the FBI. But now, he is curled up on the floor, an agonized, unmoving ball
(Andrew's eidetic memory is going to have a field day with this)
They are indeed misplaced forever partners
Jean is also feral and Neil also endures, the forever partners forever same hat
And the fact there is chemestry enough for him to be dating any (or all) of them
love how kevin’s top 4 favorite exy players are just two gay couples. unintentional allying
No, they dont realize it
Because they talked about the Holocaust, but they didnt talk about how hate spreads, how authoritarians regimes come to power, how all minorities can be victims, who and what interests persecution serves
They talked about the Holocaust like if jews were the only victims, like if the only way it would happen again is if the events of the past repeated themselfs exactly as they happened in 1930s/40s
Zionists have been propagating the idea that jews are the only potential victims of a new holocaust. So there is no problem if Trump talks about immigrants the same way (with almost the same exact words) Hitler talked abt the jewish ppl. There is no problem if Israeli authorities openly claim they want to commit genocide and ethinic cleansing. There is no problem if believing a racial or ethinic group should have total control over certain territory IS the whole base of nazism. As long as the persecuted group isnt the jewish population, then it is not a Holocaust.
It is sad, but thats the reality
Talking about the Holocaust isnt enough to stop it from happening again. Knowing that Nazi germany killed 6 million jews serves no pourpuse if we are all unable to spot the signs of history repeating itself with other ethinic/racial/religious minorities
Israel is the new Nazi Germany.
i love that cat took a look at jean (tortured 6’2 huge strong bisexual frenchman sad grey eyes elite athlete tragic homoerotic situationship victim) and said i will make him even hotter. get on this motorcycle.
And even though he does this, the moment he sees Neil he cusses him out for being a disgrace to Exy, bc the day Kevin compliments Neil directly to his face is the day he dies
kevin's pro teammates will never live up to neil josten. kevin lets them know this daily.
I thought that Jeremy couldn't be an addict because that would make him "too much of a fox" and the trojans didn't have criminal or public, stigmatised problems but in actuality I think it's a great way to explore how wealth defines these labels. The foxes are constantly maligned for being problem cases but Jeremy is the captain of the trojans because of blatant bribery and abuse of power. Jeremy suffers horrific consequences for his actions, in the form of homophobia, shame, guilt, emotional and fincancial abuse and control. But he is able to avoid the worst practical consequences (serious jail time, let alone suspension from school, loss of his Exy career) because of his parents influence and wealth. He is able to get clean because of their wealth. Whereas the foxes are 'junkies and criminals' for their entire career and are only allowed a shot at a better life if they're lucky because Wymack puts his neck out for them. I think it's genius to have us guess and wait for book two because it emphasises this disparity.
The way Neil Josten switched into Nathaniel in order to process and handle the abuse and trauma of being found by his father's people and the reality of his looming death will never not fuck me up, he literally said I can't handle this but maybe the Butcher's son could. And then. And then!! The way those two versions of himself coalesce into Neil Abram Josten (legally recognised) after Nathan is dead and the truth is out? The Neil Josten we see in The Sunshine Court has all of the attachments of Neil Josten, the slow unraveling of family and care but all of the hard edges of Nathaniel, unflinching from the reality of the world he lives in and the decisions he has to make to keep his life. Nathaniel would never have stuck around long enough to care about Jean Moreau and call a hit out on his abuser. Neil would never have trusted those resources available to him (or potentially the trail it could leave) in order to deal with the problem in one brutal but efficient move. But Neil Abram Josten reforged could, would and did.
He has already started a fight with Kevin on the bus on the way to a game
And everyone had to deal with Kevin fuming and bitching abt this rando (Andrew) on Twitter who was saying all those bad things abt Exy. Everyone had a horrible trip, except Andrew, that was internally laughing his ass off
Kevin didnt notice that coincidentally the guy on Twitter stopped answering the moment Andrew slept and came back to answering the moment he woke up
It is cannon, I was the bus window
Andrew has multiple anonymous Twitter accounts where he hates on exy and has started many of fights with Kevin on Twitter
rereading trk and knowing the things happening behind the scenes in the nest gives everything so much more WEIGHT holy shit wdym grayson was neil's backliner mark in the ravens v foxes match wdym jean was playing defence alongside him wdym in less than a year neil would orchestrate grayson's death wdym jean's "ashen ice" smile as he stared kevin down at the banquet wdym kevin's quiet "jean." when they see each other for the first time in almost a year wdym jean got between riko and neil when they had their fistfight at the christmas banquet wdym drake's attack was direct retribution to andrew "claiming" kevin in front of riko wdym jean spent neil's two weeks in evermore whispering to him in french when riko wasn't looking like he did with kevin for years god i feel like that one clip of jennifer lawrence on hot ones rn.
The way I read the first line and was like "well, basically 24/7 bc Im autistic and unfortunetely I cant stop interacting with myself"
Then I read the other part and was like "aaaaaahhhh now it makes sense"
I just love how other neurodivergent are able to read neurodivergents so well. It makes me feel seen and also not so crazy
