The gang at Eden's Twilight 🍸🪩
(R.I.P. Kevin 😔✌🏼)
Anyways. How fucking funny and how fucking sad it would be if Kevin Day did eventually get a chance to go skiing, only to promptly fuck up his skis and. get injured. in a skiing accident. How would you even communicate that to the press.
You know whom I’ve missed in TSC and TGR?
Nicky.
I knoooow, we cannot allow him into the Cali because Jeremy will do him, but I still need him to be friends with Laila and Cat so badly. The gossip would go hard.
Neil is the most unserious character like what do you mean you develop a secondhand nicotine addiction purely because you want to remember the smell of your moms burning corpse
Underrated moments in AFTG upon reread:
- Allison calling Kevin’s tattoo a tramp stamp
- Seth laughing his ass off upon hearing Riko was on the Kathy Ferdinand show
- Nicky suggesting Allison and Kevin hook up and they both react with intense disgust
- Aaron shrugging to Neil coming back absolutely battered from Evermore
- Kevin wanting to ask what Neil and Andrew talked about at Eden’s twilight after Andrew confessed to Neil, then seeing Neil’s face and being like “you know what? Not my business.”
- Dan, Allison and Renee basically fake dating platonically their first year to defy the sexist guys on their team
- Neil finding math interesting
- Kevin giving Neil the most scathing elevator look that Neil feels shame about his wardrobe for the first and only time
- Dan punching a Raven in the dick after they made a sexual comment about her past
- Matt’s mother being so grateful to Andrew for getting Matt clean that she pays Aaron’s bail
- Nicky calling Kevin a brat
- Wymack making Dan the first female captain despite the rampant misogyny in Exy
- Andrew stroking Neil’s back after Neil stood up for Kevin at Kathy’s Interview
- Wymack and Matt being the original Andreil shippers
- Neil giving Kevin his binder before going to Evermore like HELLO???? That was some INSANE trust
It just occurred to me that Andrew didn't just agree to dinner with the Hemmicks because Neil made compelling arguments or because he's soft on Neil. He agreed because Neil offered to come along. He agreed because Neil offered to have his back if he went. It's the same deal that Andrew's been making Neil the entire time: go do this thing that scares you because I've got your back.
Which makes Andrew forgiving Neil really quickly after just a few harsh words make so much sense. Because despite the outcome of that dinner and Neil's role in making it happen, he did have Andrew's back. He got to Andrew before anyone else even knew something was wrong, he brought a weapon, he hid Andrew's knives without question, he did everything Andrew needed him to do. It was a shit situation that they walked into like idiots but Neil still had his back every step of the way. Neil didn't break any promises and that counts for more in Andrew's books than any fuck-up Neil could make.
Neil Josten:
I just think Neil “tells Andrew it’ll be a quick death if the plane crashes when he’s afraid to fly” Josten and Andrew “tells Neil to stop it when he’s having a panic attack” Minyard really do belong together
andrew interacts with neil like he's playing episode with no diamonds
Who needs grindr when you've got Kevin Day?
