jean-yves moreau, do you shower at lightning speed because your former 16-hour days never left enough time for lengthy showers, or do you shower at lightning speed because you know that if you stay under the water too long, you’ll have a panic attack?? 🤔

"Ah, you are right. That must be it. What was your name again? Alex? Stefan? Chris?"

“It's Neil."

“Hmm? You don't look much like a Neil."

“Blame my mother, she named me."

“How is she doing, by the way?"

Do you ever think about the fact that Neil is number 10 while Riko is number 01 and they had polar opposite reactions to being raised in abusive environments?

#this isn't intended as Riko hate I just think it’s neat #they mirror each other so well #riko needs to be the best while neil doesn't care too much about is rank within the foxes as long as he gets to play with them #in fact he frequently says that he doesn’t want to lead them #not to mention that their relationships with knives #nora loves to play with numbers #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #riko moriyama

Riko, talking to the Ravens: Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

being a Raven worms its way into your brain and heart like poison; it rots you from the inside out, uncontrolled and encouraged, they want you sick and to keep you sick; only the sick can touch each other yknow? it isolates you and keeps you close because no one wants to catch it and no one else understands

the only place Ravens are allowed to fight the infection, is on the court

Does anyone ever wonder why Tetsuji kept Kayleigh’s letter? Something that would reflect badly on him if anyone found out?

Did he forget about it? Was it incase he needed to prove Kevin's parentage? Did he plan to someday wave it around in Wymack's face like "Haha, this is actually something of yours and I BROKE IT" like a toddler?

We may never know

#i feel like tetsuji wouldve hated wymack enough to consider it #he got the same satisfaction of hurting kevin that a 7 year old would feel breaking another childs toy #“i hid your son from you AND now he has trauma and drinking problem” #yeah its Kayleighs child but its also kayleighs child with another man #one that tetsuji probably didn’t like #riko definitely wasnt the only psycho moriyama #kevin day #tetsuji moriyama #kayleigh day #david wymack #aftg #all for the game

Okay okay jumping off this great post from @neilsexy about Nicky hate to also talk about my Riko thoughts.

I find the treatment of Riko by the fandom fascinating. Calling it The Azula Effect cuz it's just like how a lot of Zuko fans treated Azula.

Riko is an antagonist, a villain, yes. He's literally there specifically for you to hate, so if you hate him, he's fulfilled his narrative purpose. BUT! There's this weird puritanical pathologizing of Riko and Riko fans that our protagonists don't receive, which I think points to modern fandom's whole "evangelical conservative beliefs with a gay coat of paint" thing.

Riko is a villain, but he's also an abuse victim whose only outlet is abusing others (and he is encouraged to do so by his environment). He holds a terrifying level of power over the protagonists, which masks how little power he has over his own life.

Riko isn't a sadist for just for the fuck of it. There is a meaning to his cruelty. When he abuses people, it's an attempt to keep his delicate social standing and illusion of power--which is all he has--by discouraging his peers from acting against him. There is a meaning to Andrew's cruelty as well, and fandom is totally fine with you sympathizing with that meaning and still loving Andrew despite his violence... but that same fandom will discourage you from having any sympathy for Riko's meaning and treat him as some special case of Inexcusable. Not to say Andrew's actions are on par with Riko's, or to discount all the work Andrew did to grow, but there is hypocrisy there.

Folks will designate Riko as evil from birth rather than circumstance, saying a lot of shit that sounds very "mentally ill people are inhuman monsters" and "sinners can never be forgiven and will burn in hell for eternity." This whole idea of "good person vs bad person" instead of "good actions vs bad actions" is just unhelpfully reductive.

Also, the very force driving Riko is the desire of a traumatized kid to be loved by his family. But because his family are cruel mob bosses, the only means to gaining love he sees are through enacting that same cruelty. And the great tragedy of Riko, and what makes him such a compelling character to me, is that all of that cruelty he used as a shield and a plea couldn't protect him or garner him love in the end.

Riko never had a Wymack (an "Uncle Iroh" so to speak). He never had someone who believed in him, which is what made all the difference in the lives of the Foxes. Because Riko was born a Moriyama, he never had an escape or a second chance, and his life was never going to end in anything but a bullet to the head when he became a nuisance. That's the difference between him and our protagonists. Not some special evil gene that made him incapable of humanity. He was a traumatized and flawed human being just like the protagonists, but unlike them, he never had an opportunity to grow. I know I'm overly optimistic, but I believe that everyone can change if they have the drive and resources to do so. It's come from a hard reworking of my beliefs to move away from punitive justice and towards restorative justice. And it's a theme I found prevalent in AFTG.

So why aren't fans allowed feel sympathy for Riko? It feels like wildly missing the point of the series to insist he is the one exception to its themes. You don't have to excuse any of a character's actions to sympathize with them or believe they deserve a second chance.

Can we take a moment to talk about how sad Riko’s death is? Like I get it, he tortured everyone and I LOATHE HIM but look at it from his point of view he did EVERYTHING to be the best, he didn’t let anyone get in his way NO ONE, he was waiting for the day his own father would accept him but then his DAD dies so he waits for his brother’s approval but guess what? HE WATCHED HIS OWN BROTHER KILL HIM, he knows what’s coming , I’m just agha

“What disadvantages?"

“Do you really want me to start listing them? This is only a two-day event, Hennessey."

“Careful, Riko."

LOOK. I despise Riko with every bone in my body. But. Everyone draws him so fine. For no reason.

Am I a hypocrite for thinking that if I saw Riko walking down the street and didn't know who he was I'd definitely simp for him? I don't know.
