if we look at the original timeline (aka annabeth and percy being born in 1993) then 2009 was a big year for annabeth bcus not only did the battle of manhattan take place and she finally started dating percy, but also minecraft came out and i think that would be a big deal to her

i love abby to the moon and back and she is a rock but when she said "my foxes chose to fight back" a part of me broke same as jean because he DID !!! he tried !! he fought as long as he could at 14 until he became so conditioned and resigned to his fate. he has all the capability and instinct for it as well with the way he shoves jeremy away, he pushes coach lisinski into her car ! and he boots lucas in the chest like that boy is not to be messed with physically but the mental toll his abusers took on him was far too much at such a young impressionable age and it's fucking heartbreaking because he truly believes he deserves it and he knows that's wrong and he shouldn't but it's his only way of surviving it with the "i know my place. i will endure" mantra. and you can see the pain and anger in him when people think he just lay down and accepted it from the jump but he can't do anything about it because it's a warzone inside his head and nobody will ever truly understand

Im re-listening to the aftg audio books at work for the thousands time and giggle when I think back on how a video on tiktok told me about the series and said it was a sports romance 💀💀 I was like wtf is going on

I haven't disappeared on purpose I'm just 70% of the way through TSC and dying about it

Just thinking about how Jean Moreau is one of the best backliners in Class I exy but I don’t think anyone has even seen his peek potential yet

Just thinking about how Neil is able to match Riko at every turn with his speed at the Final Raven v Foxes match and he catches Riko by surprise since Riko is not expecting Neil in top form as when Neil was at the nest he only got on the court after being beat and his physical condition only got worse as the weeks progressed.

So just thinking that about how Jean has never played an Exy game not in pain. He is one of the best even while always playing in pain somewhere on his body. So I can’t wait to see Jean realize what he can do when he finally gets to play when he’s not in pain.

And for everyone to realize that they’ve seen Jean Moreau play but they haven’t seen Jean Moreau play

I'm going to be honest I hate that season 4 of The Umbrella Academy is only going to have like 6 episodes. I need at least 12 for them to be able to wrap everything up in a way that I think is satisfying.

Neil & Jean coded

[draxhermes]

(raven neil au) im having so many thoughts about them all the time

[draxhermes]

Neil makes SCRAPS of appearances in tsc but he serves cunt and leaves. Absolute legend. I get now why Jean was at his wits end with this guy. He orders drinks and food, makes fucking fbi agents WAIT for him then sits in an INTERROGATION and eats take out as if it's just another day for him. Jean probably got 20 separate heart attacks because of this man and then this gremlin goes ahead and orders a hit on the behalf of a man he knew only in pain while sitting in a very public diner and waiting on fbi agents to show up and drag them away.

Neil Fucking Josten, Andrew has his hands full. Never a dull day with him.

TSC SPOILERS + A THEORY

Calling it now, Jean is going to take back his name (similar to Neil vs Nathaniel and Kevin reclaiming his tattoo)

be ready for one Jean-Yves to take the sunshine court by storm

[draxhermes]

I feel like part of the reason Kevin is so adamant on night practices (other than yknow his need to get his other hand up to par) is that his body and brain just struggle intensely to get out of the rhythm of the 16hr day schedule ravens run on. He’s probably been drilling these crazy days and hours since childhood and being suddenly ripped from that can’t be easy on his psyche or physical self.

Okay but why is no one talking about how, yes, Neil is a little creep who takes great pleasure being an ass to the FBI agents, but he was also stalling to give Jean time to get himself under control. He kept his mouth running so that Jean didn’t have to. He stalled drinking his drink and putting his food away. He kept the attention on himself because he knew he had some level of protection as an informer and Jean did not and was a) covered in wounds from a fight, making him suspicious and b) just told his sister had been sold and killed. He was also already unwell when Neil picked him up, having just been triggered to the moon and back.

Jean also had no experience talking to the press or the police and he would have struggled and possibly fucked up given how upset he was—as we’ve all seen—and Neil knew this and ran with it. Jean wouldn’t let him get him out of there—which he was willing to risk himself to do—so Neil protected him the only way he knew how.

You wouldn’t even be able to pry my love for Neil Josten out of my cold dead hands.

"Near the edge of the collage was a photo of Renee. She had the back of her head to a window and was pointing up and over her shoulders with both hands. It took Jean a moment to see the rainbow in the distant sky. Someone had taped a small sticky note to the corner of the picture that read 'Who wore it better??'"
