I Have A Headcanon That After Several Years Of Living Together, Neil Is Looking For Andrew's Hugs When

simple touch ❤️

consider, for just a moment, the first time neil gets drunk with the foxes.

i think it wouldn’t happen until the end of his second year, but when it does, nobody was prepared.

so, neil is partying with his foxes. it’s probably a bonding night or something, just them in a dorm. i doubt he’d let himself get drunk with strangers around, but he trusts the foxes not to hurt him and he trusts andrew not to let him do anything stupid.

shockingly, neil is a massive lightweight. he rarely ever drinks, so in reality it’s not that surprising, but somehow none of the foxes expected him to get completely pissed off of like three beers.

neil, as it turns out, says the most batshit outta pocket things when he’s drunk. i’m talking bringing up his traumatic childhood in casual conversation and then immediately afterwards asking allison to braid his hair or something. just completely random and a little horrifying.

eventually, andrew decides that it’s time for neil to switch to water, but when he tries to hand neil a glass, he just says “oh, fuck off, aaron.”

andrew tries to ask what the fuck neil just called him, but neil tries to punch him before he can.

that’s right, just tries to full on deck andrew.

andrew finds the whole thing hilarious, because 1. even if andrew hadn’t caught neil’s arm, the punch wouldn’t have hurt at all. neil was moving too slowly and he probably would have missed anyway, and 2. because the first (and only) time neil ever mistook the twins, it didn’t end with him trying to kiss aaron, it ended with him trying to punch andrew in the face. neil’s gut reaction to seeing aaron is just punching him in the fucking face, and if that’s not fucking hilarious i don’t know what is.

anyway, andrew is now holding neil’s arm. neil just blinks, looks at him for a second, and goes “drew? when did you get here?”

andrew, now trying very hard not to laugh, is all like “time for bed” and drags neil back to their dorm.

neil has no memory of any of this happening until allison shows him the video she took.

andrew assures him that it was funny, but he still uses it to win arguments for a month afterwards.

Регулус: *проходит мимо*

Джеймс: Какой же ты красавчик, Блэк. Просто ВАУ!

Сириус, скрежеща зубами: Я щас надеюсь, он это мне.

Джеймс: Эй, Рейджи!

Регулус: *нехотя оборачивается*

Джеймс: И ебёт же тебя кто-то. Везёт ему.

Регулус, с усмешкой: Тоже хочешь?

Джеймс: Еще спрашиваешь? Конечно!

Регулус: Я попрошу, может и тебя выебет.

Учителя в Большом зале: …

Сириус: *горд, пока не понял, что его маленького братика кто-то ебёт*

Ремус: *не обращает внимание, морально готовясь успокаивать Блэка*

Барти и Эван: *аплодируют стоя*

Drunk James: and then they…

Drunk Sirius, but not as drunk as James: wait, you wanna say that my godson fucks with my nephew

James:

James: they’ve kissed right in front of me *cries*

Sirius:

Sirius: I always knew that all of Black practice incest

I see some people saying gender non-conformity doesn't exist because gender doesn't exist.

I disagree. Gender does exist. Gender is a social system that exists, like money on a bank account exists and has very real implications, even though it's just numbers on a screen.

We live in a patriarchal society and gender is a tool patriarchy uses to uphold itself. It's a set of social expectations and ways of moving through the world that accumulates power to males. Deviation from this norm is punished as deviations are a threat to the patriarchy.

I find people who claim gender non-conformity doesn't exist to lack feminist consciousness.

We're all women, yeah. We have a lot in common. Being GNC doesn't make a woman to become non-woman.

GNC is a term that describes the position a person has in relation to her social environment. There are gendered expectations and it has tangible consequences if one doesn't conform into those expectations. We need to be able to talk about that.

andrew, to neil: stop being so sappy

also andrew, to neil: here are matching armbands <3 also I bought you a phone <3 and even chose you the same song for ringtone <3 i GaVe YoU kEy AnD CalLeD iT hOmE <3 I'd blow you <3 n e i l <3 <3 <3

women look better without makeup and femininity is ridiculous

Hc that once the Foxes really realize that Neil and Andrew are actually in a serious relationship and not just a fling, they're all weary of it and don't bother hiding the fact.

One day, they all happen to be in the lounge without Neil and Andrew, and the Upperclassmen are talking about the fact that they're kind of worried about Andrew and Neil being in a relationship, and Aaron agrees, and someone says something like: "I'm surprised you're worried, I thought you hated Neil. Although, I suppose you'd know Andrew's violence better than any of us since you've spent more time with him." And Aaron just scoffs and says, "I'm not worried about Neil at all. Anyone with half a brain cell can tell that Andrew would never hurt him. No, I'm more concerned about what Neil could do to Andrew." And the Upperclassmen just. Stare at him. Minds blown.

From that point on, they're forced to reevaluate everything they thought they knew, and they pay more attention to every interaction they see between Andrew and Neil, and they're forced to realize that- Aaron's right. Andrew wouldn't hurt Neil, and they're a bit ashamed of the fact that it took them so long to realize.

Lil detail for myself but Neil is a siren and Andrew is a merman (there’s a small difference in how I draw the species and a large difference in how they are in my world building)
