So peaceful Souvenir. A brother singing ancient Andalusian song in Al-hambra palace.

i know i’m right

Headcanons for cry time:

⚠️mentions of death, mental health, etc⚠️

Andrew labels all his clothes. Not because he’s worried Aaron’s going to steal them (that is part of it, though) but because he has a name. He spent so many years as Doe, unclaimed and unwanted but now he has a name and it’s his and he’s a Minyard for better or worse. He’s not unwanted anymore. When his name first changed, he spent hours writing it over and over again on everything he owned. Andrew Minyard.

Wymack does that thing where he accidentally calls his foxes by the wrong name. After Seth’s death, he turns to Matt when he’s being an asshole and snaps “shut it, Gordon.” His grief comes back so quickly because he will never yell “Gordon!” across the court or be able to pat Seth on the back and say “good job kid” again because he’s gone

Nicky finds life incredibly hard when he finally moves back to Germany to be with Erik. He hates himself for it. It should be good, it should be a fairytale. Erik’s the love of his life, the man of his dreams! But Nicky feels lost. He’s spent seven years away, but when he moves back he feels wrong. The house is too quiet, the room too dark. His bed feels too heavy with Erik in it. Erik finds him on the sofa one morning and makes him talk about it. Things go up from there, but glacially slow.

Aaron never recovers from his nightmares. Coping with them gets easier with time, but they never go away. He’ll wake up shouting in his sleep, mind full of blood and bare skin and Andrew’s hurt. The first time he has a nightmare and Andrew is in another state, he has to call his brother at two in the morning and get him to stay on the phone until Aaron can sleep again.

Of the three Fox adults in the story, Bee dies first. Andrew’s known her for twenty years and then she’s just not there anymore. Sure, her memory was all but gone and she couldn’t walk by herself but it was still Bee. Neil doesn’t know how to help, can’t offer anything other than the vague offer of assistance if Andrew needs it. Andrew spends a month curled up in a ball eating ice cream and being angry at the world for being so cruel. Then, Wymack dies too.

AFTG Headcanons (Pt.4)

PART 1 || PART 2 || PART 3 ||

Andrew sucks at telling his emotions apart bc ✨trauma✨ so he starts picking up habits to help him. He tucks his thumb into his fist when he’s hurt but leaves it on the outside if he’s angry. If he isn’t sure, he just has to look down at his hands to figure it out.

Kevin has a vague grasp of the rules of chess at best and has never won a game in his life

On the subject of chess, Nicky buys Kevin the drinking game version of chess (the one where all the pieces are shot glasses) for his birthday

One day, Andrew discovers a new fear: walking past a group of teens and having them all coincidentally laugh just as he goes past

Neil’s really good at reading expressions and eventually he has to do an hour long presentation for Matt about the different types of side glances the girls do bc Matt doesn’t understand how they’re doing that and he wants in on their secrets

Nicky and Allison are mean together. They don’t often get along, but the odd days they do, someone is going to regret their life choices

Speaking of the two of them being mean, clearly trying to explain to Neil that he can’t dress like he’s homeless didn’t work and neither did trying to use Andrew as leverage so they just try to bully him into doing better. It doesn’t work because Neil doesn’t give a shit what anyone says about him if it’s not about Exy

Kevin models for a promotional Exites event, but the pictures are like, super cringey for the foxes because they know him and ew. Upon finding out that even Kevin hates them, Dan and Allison (and Renee who will vehemently deny she was a part of it) bully their way into getting one of the ten foot posters and stick it to the outside of fox tower where it stays for two months

When the freshman first start, the foxes set up a challenge. Andrew and Aaron dress identically and every freshman has to guess which twin is which. Those who get it wrong have to do a forfeit decided by the twins. Punishments range from buying Andrew enough cigarettes and ice cream for a month to having to run through the library naked at a peak time

Aaron is king of sitting in weird positions. He’ll be studying at his desk crouched like a little gremlin or watching tv with his legs in a W shape. Sitting in positions like that has made him oddly flexible, and Katelyn is the only person in the entire world who will ever know that Aaron can easily do the splits

Renee is excellent at being patronising. She’d never argue with someone directly, that’s not her thing, but if you get on her bad side, be prepared to be patronised for weeks. That little false smile and “sure, sweetie” is enough to drive anyone mental

((I have more, but they’re going in a separate, sad hc post bc I want to keep this one lighthearted))
