Aaron Minyard Being The Funniest Character In Aftg

the raven boys / the dream thieves

they’d all forgotten that adam was an animal. love this parallel because

1. being his own master w/ the devil/lucifer’s estrangement from heaven + animal autonomy

2. adam (sometimes) believes he is intrinsically bad but this is only (partially) because he was ‘cast out’ by a higher power!

4. many people’s assumptions about adam are wrong. their pitiful “drawings” of him don’t contain his true complexities, and/or at least he thinks they never can.

3. ronan wants to fuck the devil. okay!

4. coca-cola t-shirt 🥺 the archetype of “adam” in red…

Andrew humanised Neil. Not the other way around.

Trying to visualize an exy court

Loving Andrew Minyard isn’t enough. I need to become Neil Josten.

wrt print versions of tgr, am trying to get them put together asap, I just haven't really had access to my computer or files since the 22nd, which is.. Fun. but now am fully out of the prev place, so I should have some breathing room these next couple days.

I feel like the aftg fandom has just swung hard from one mischaracterization of Neil to another.

Yes, Neil is not an innocent little soft-boy like a lot of fans made him out to be pre-TSC, but he isn't some cold, calculated badass either.

He took out a hit on Grayson over Thai food. He doodles fox paws in his notebooks and hates vegetables. He insults FBI agents' parking jobs and he spent a bus ride staring over the back of his seat making heart eyes at his boyfriend. He manipulated the agents while eating takeout in the interrogation room. He canonically internally panics and overthinks the entire time he's attempting to manipulate anyone. He uses people's family trauma to manipulate them. He misses his mom.

Neil Abram Josten is a multifaceted character

for K stans, let me introduce you to my K playlist ! (i swear it's a good one)

including kavinsky, rovinsky and the dreampack

you and i were fireworks that went off too soon

idk why but i'm obsessed with this scene. like neil is smiling the butcher's smile and he knows he is, and tries to hide it !!!!

i feel like its because its harder to draw 🤷‍♂️

my favourite part of the aftg fandom is that people either don’t know what auburn hair can look like or they choose to ignore that neil is not a redhead
