The Foxes Are There Exactly Bc They Keep On Pulling Miracle Year After Miracle Year

God, just please, I NEED IT

(Even though I really dont think Jeremy is gonna go pro, Im sure he will be there to give Jean a kiss after the game ends)

*shakily grabs microphone* wh- what if the epilogue in tsc3 is a time skip to the olympics… jean kevin neil andrew jeremy playing together… the Queen’s men

Kay, so obviously we’re never getting an AFTG tv show, but can you imagine the comedic gold of some of it being shot in the mockumentary style as “The Office”

Like, obviously not the more traumatic or gory scenes, but, like the first tv interview with Kathy? The “you know I get it” speech? Getting everyone’s first thoughts on Neil joining the team? Watching Wymack realize that Andriel is a thing? Do you see the vision

I mean, Neil and Jean were actually trying to protect Ichirou not Riko (Neil would probably love to throw some more shade at Riko)

But still, we all stan Kevin Day

neil and jean: making up stories and lying to the FBI to keep riko out of any negative light

kevin on national television: RIKO WOULD HAVE KILLED NEIL IF ANDREW WASN’T FAST ENOUGH

"At two seconds, Kevin scored" SCREAMING ON MY PILLOW. Thats. My. Man.

(I've read this game before, still screaming on my pillow)

Girl, yess

The way Neil trully cares about Jean makes my heart warm

Like, he makes sure to include Jean on his deal with Ichirou, he offers to ditch the FBI so Jean can process what happened to his sister, he guarantees Jean's abuser will never get close to him again, he always picks Jean's calls (even though he ignores when most ppl call him, bc he actually hates cellphones and calls)

Can we appreciate the fact that Neil answers to Jean calls? Like, Jean is one of the few people that has the privilege to get Neil to pick up his calls

I just love how Nora isnt afraid of giving scars or weird/ugyl marks to her characters

And like, not that cool type of small sexy scar on the lips and eyes, they are ugly, just like the violence they have suffered and endured. They are marks forever ingraved on their skins of the terrible things done to them, or of what the horrible things done to them made they do to themselfs

Like, fuck, Neil's face has the scar of a cut cauterized by a lighter on one side and on the other he has the scar of cuts in his entire cheek, one of them goes from near his eyes to the side of his lips. Not to mention tge burn mark of an iron literally printed near his shoulder or all the cuts in his chest and back

Not cute at all

Andrew is full of self harm scars on his arms (and anyone who has seen those knows how many looks they attract and how they get ugly with time)

Both Jean and Kevin are full of scars on their chests, specially Jean, but Kevin too (which is confirmed in cannon many times, but the first one of them is when Riko is about to carve Neil's chest with a knife and he says he is gonna love to hurt him just like he used to love hurting Kevin)

Kevin has that horrible scar on his left hand bc of what Riko did

Renee has scars from knife fights and has that ugly ass tattoo made literally with almost the same type of ink they use to make tattoos in prision (have you ever seen a prision tattoo?? That shit is ugly as hell)

Matt has the injection scars all over his arm from when he was an addict (many ppl forget that)

If I remember correctly, Aaron also has the injection scars

Those kids have gone through hell and back. They carry the emotional and physical scars of that. And yes, it is not pretty or romantic, but it isnt supposed to be. All of those marks and scars are reminders that the Foxes(plus Jean) were failed time after time again by the ones who should protect them or even hurten directly by those who should be their family and protectors. They are there out of spite, but everything they gone through doesnt disappear just bc things have gotten better, and I feel like the scars and marks are Nora's way of reminding us of that. All the memories and pains will still be there, still aching from time to time. It will hurt less and less, but that distant reminder of what was done to them will always be there

And honestly, I love Nora for it. So many authors make their characters go trough the worst of it all and they seem to get out of it just fine (physically and mentally), it is a relief to see an author who is not afraid to remind us that all those things always leave their marks (even though it hurts like hell to read it, my babys should have been protected)

Hot Take

Burners should have the ability to fly. They just need to gobble down a couple of bowls of beans 🫘and rip an ungodly mighty fart as noisy as your neighbors at 2am, then off Cal goes, flying to Monfort to meet with his lovely 💜lightning girl.

Yess

Like, that "give your game to me" shit with Neil was the most non-straight interaction I have ever seen in my life

That sh*t was literally screaming homosexuality

Or him taking Jean's hands, the way he talks abt Jeremy

There is no way our diva queen of Exy is straight, I cant accept it

its truly poetry that kevin “it’s better to be straight” day only has 4 friends and both pairs of them are gay and fucking each other
