WELCOME TO CASEY HART INFO TIME!!! WOOO!

so caseys story happens like after tkm probably like late 2007 early 2008, he is about 9-11 years old so he was roughly born in 97-98 due to him being born in mid november, uhhh timeline shit but oh well.

casey was an only kid but he did have an older cousin, casey's home life wasn't the best (cuz yk fox and all) uhhh other stuff ummm, right why casey ran intl the foxes and what state was he in to the point it worried probably a few of them, the state our little casey was in was bad, he had bruises,blood stains this is because of something I am withholding cuz I'm a bitch and I don't give away all my secrets.

that's it for the small info for now

can we give you like a show writer room for this, like I can picture that so vividly in my mind now, you need a writer room for this like if I was rich I'd give so much money to this project of aftg being a show

Maybe one way to do the Nathaniel/Neil thing would be to have him hearing everyone calling him Nathaniel when they’re really calling him Neil? Like similar to the effect they use when characters hear things a bit distorted and fuzzy, then we hear it switch to Neil and suddenly everything is clearer? Though that would put a weird filter on everything in the hotel scene but it could be restricted to names I guess idek

i could see that!! but that would still only be from the hotel though, right? does anyone in Baltimore call him Neil other than the team? but i can see it working. like a swirling glitchy kind of sound. like until Andrew calls him Neil his name isn't clear.

I could see it being set up earlier in the show in a flashback through a little tic that differentiates Neil from Nathaniel. When Neil gets back from the nest, the camera pov is from his perspective for most of it, or all we see are tiny details, his bandages, his hands, the view out Wymack's car window, until we get to the line where Wymack says "he sounds like him, but he doesnt look like him" or whatever and then Neil looks in the mirror and we smash cut back to him with his father before he ran away.

we can tell in his body language that he's trying to be his father's son. he does something, a deep breath, a raise in his shoulders, and something like a kubrick stare at himself with that signature Wesninski smile.

A season or two later we're in the car with Lola, and he looks at his hands, he traces the outline of a key into his thumb and then he does the same thing. A deep breath, movement in his shoulders and then that slow, creeping Nathaniel smile on his lips. and that's the end of that episode. there's a shift in his demeanor, even as hes pleading and yelling in pain, just something that paints him different.

(imagine the gifsets y'all. all for the game parallels: s2e08 | s3e06. nathaniel vs neil. can you see it? can you???)

I have nothing against young alicent I love her but older alicent being given the scene of right after jaehaerys instead of aegon will forever pain me LIKE THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO DO IT AND DIDNT why I will forever wish to know, plus we would have got to see the aftermath of that scene in the next one like why they so obsessed with alicent like I get it she's like a main character for some reason but the war is between aegon and rhaenyra for the throne.

btw if there's any fanfics where it is aegon finding out right after instead of alicent tell me I'd eat that shit up so fast

I really don't understand the desire of the screenwriters to make absolutely everything in this series revolve around Alicent. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but all the events of the series REALLY don't need to be focused on her. Show me how Helaena runs to Aegon with her daughter in her arms. She finds him in the throne room and the whole company freezes, seeing her in tears, with a cut on her neck. The smile fades from Aegon's face when he realizes that something irreparable has happened. He sobers up immediately. Finish the episode on his face when Helaena says that Jaehaerys was killed and after we were watching the development of Aegon's relationship with his son, it'll hurt. Let me see the moment when he realizes that while he was getting drunk with friends on the throne, his son was being killed. Show me his eyes when he realizes that the fragile happiness he had was destroyed and he couldn't prevent it in any way. Children are the only thing these two have in common, it's their tragedy, don't take it away from them.

I get this so fucking much like what does the word mean I'm nearly the age neil nearly got killed at like I don't wanna turn 19 no thanks I don't wanna be the same age as jean

I've been having an existential crisis lately. Because I realised I first read aftg when I was 14 and now I'm Neil's age in the series. What the fuck, what do you mean I will be older than them?

Stole this for this fandom bc some pEOPLE need to hear this today.

anon just say you don't know how cults work, like it's not that hard to say just say you don't get how they work its quite simple, if you won't shot on any of the other ravens and only Thea than that's very strange going with she's the only canonical black character,

i wanna agree with you on thea and i understand she went through the raven's cult and i recognize that trauma/experience but she considered, Jean —who was underage when it started— being used sexually and I'm even willing to be she knew he didn't ask for it because she's not stupid and has been in the team long enough, "old tricks." to me that's shitty. And her overall attitude is much too dismissive/demanding for someone that didn't involve herself to help and just get answers to understand a situation she didn't even plan to BE involved with.

She's a fine character, well written for the little importance and screentime given, but she's detestable to me and I cannot respect her beyond "I see you're a survivor and a fine player, for that I respect you."

That and their relationship (hers and Kevins) is the most undeveloped/boring of them so I have a natural bias against them as a couple too but that's obvious now

alright people this is the last time we're doing this.

the nest is a cult. thea was in that cult for five years. thea did not get out earlier, like kevin did. thea was subject to brainwashing and abuse. thea was isolated from essentially anybody who wasn't a raven. thea was 18 when she got there. thea would have known nothing but the nest and become desensitized to the abuse that happened there. she would have looked past and ignored what the master told her to ignore because that is how cults work. that is how brainwashing works.

if you think her attitude is "too demanding" when she wants an explanation for kevin ignoring her for almost two years, read the book again. consider why the only canonical black character in it is "detestable" to you.
