happy countdown hitting 0, neil tortured in a car by lola on his way to his father's basement day 🥳
Finished and just have to Say Neil Josten the absolute man that you are. Insulting cops on their park jobs. Casually ordering a hit on Jean Moreau’s abuser while at the table with him ? Icon
oh my gawd paperbacks are here
Kdp has approved the paperbacks.
It has been a bit of a mess, starting with not having access to the right PC for the full cover (Amazon requires back spine front be a single img, and psp5 is still only on the older pc), then to the usual distress over margins that requires ordering proofs after every tweak & waiting on delivery, then to the final book getting locked in a box I don't have a key to for four days. All that to say, sorry for the wait. ☠️☠️ My goal with tsc3/#6 is to ensure ebook & print release same day.
That being said, I am heading out for the year unless disaater strikes. Be safe, lovies.
I dont write fics so it isn't my place to judge, but as a starved reader I beg of you sweet gods of ao3, how about we give Evan Rosier a personality?
sometimes i hate how much ppl hate aaron and sometimes i also dislike people a bit for switching up on him so fast after TKM short story
let me say, he was funny from day one and ppl did not get that, and he was very so real too (atleast w me talking)
see, (NO ANDREW HATE BTW TALKING FROM AARON'S PERSPECTIVE) you have this deal with your long lost twin that happened to kill your mother and get you sober but also take you away from any type of social life with a deal that you two will stick together until graduation.
then a little bit too normal and bit too uneasy and weird runaway kid teleports to your life, lies and lies and makes his way into your brothers heart, stealing it while your brother keeps you away from your girlfriend. all while eye fucking the- now ginger weirdo 24/7
after all, it happens to be that the weird ginger kid has connections (and not good at all) connections to the fucking mafia. and also has a prisoner butcher of a father who tried to kill him and a hitman uncle who saved him.
then your brother starts to DATE (so not dating- says andrew) the ginger lying kid and you still can't even see your girlfriend while all you want is that and graduate.
this wasn't supposed to turn out to be a short version of aftg from Aaron's perspective but the point is, i would hate Neil a bit too.
Aaron said it himself "One of these days Aaron would love to know what about that mouthy liar had people bending over backwards for him,"
He didn't and doesn't trust Neil but would i either? Probably not.
And tbh, it isn't like Neil likes Aaron either.
which leads to my second point !
The books are from Neil's perspective, we don't like Riko because Neil most definitely doesn't. We like Andrew because Neil does.
We don't like Aaron- until he gets a pov.
But always, some of us do, some of us (can't respectfully like you if you) like Riko, some of us don't like Andrew, some of us DO like Aaron.
from the start.
anyway, just a little rant.
I don't mean people can't switch opinions or anything, i'm sorry for people who only got to know so late how funny and well written character Aaron is. its also funny to me how people who came at me for liking aaron now like him
if you don't agree about liking aaron or anything, feel free to argue with me because im always willing to talk about aaron
I can imagine rosekiller announcing their relationship on April Fools and laughing their ass off watching Hogwarts try to figure out if they are actually dating or not.
everyone talks abt neil if he was "nathaniel" and a part of the perfect court but the REAL perfect court would have been:
riko moriyama (#1)
kevin day (#2)
nathaniel wesninski (#3)
jean moreau (#4)
andrew minyard. (#5)
LIKE !? the most insane lineup that uve ever seen. they would walk onto a court and be the scariest group uve ever witnessed omg?? and if they let neil and andrew play w the aggression the ravens were taught? they would be killing ppl on the court!
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
If I see one more video that has the "name a more iconic duo than a twink and a redhead" audio and it's Andrew and Neil I'll punch a hole through a wall. Because either I don't know what a twink is anymore or we're reading different books because in what universe is the Andrew Joseph Minyard a TWINK.
sometimes im normal then sometimes i think about how many teenagers die in trc and how gut renching eacho f their deaths are and like bro. it really shows how muc hthey love eachother and even just how much they care and how pure they are even when one of them is literally Not Human and stuff. like ive never read another series of books that is so l.ike this. even with Kavinsky's death Ronan is like oh my god oh moy god he just killed himself wtf wtf and he literally shouts "Get down!!" to K before the dragon literally gets him. and like Noahs death even tho noone but welk (blueurhggh) whitnessed the inital death they are all like extremely rattled and greve him still. and likeGansey dying oml oml gannnseeyyy dying and everyones reactions oml. theyre so human it hurts so fucking bad. and also ronans suicide attempt (i have thoughts on this ill make another post) and how gansey had been so fucking focused on him afterwards like he cares so fucking much. declan cares so much about him too he was so worried about ronan and i genuinely think its beyond his love of matthew. even when welk gets trampled they arent like "YAAAY villian dead :)" theyre like oh my god thats a dead guy thats a fucking dead guy they are so human i love them so much so much so much
Rip rosekiller, you wouldve loved watching scream and saying "literally us" everytike stu and billy interact 💔
she / her | trc, aftg, marauders... anything? | not artist enough | if u dont like kavinsky try pyrotechnics?
