#dark andrew minyard

[aftg-rot]

Andrew's mind begins to race before he can stop it, so he just lets it run. Does he miss the pain? Some of it? The pain he could control. There is nothing more addictive than knowing you have that kind of power. The more pain Andrew inflicted upon himself, the more he wanted to stop the people he cared about from feeling pain, and the further and further he was willing to go to make sure they were safe. And if it meant hurting other people to get there, so be it. - from it's a punch and a kiss, i'm trying to remember.

andrew: *blows a kiss at the back of neil’s head*

neil, turning around rubbing the sudden bump there: ow what was that

andrew: a rock. I was aiming for the soft spot in your skull that kills you immediately. get out of my school. fuck you

neil: ?

#this is so stupid I’m sorry gjshfjjs #I don’t think andrew would ever be caught dead blowing kisses btw #maybe if he was really really drunk/high and it was dark. even then I don’t think his paranoid ass would dare #BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE MEME— #andrew minyard #neil josten #andreil #tfc #aftg

it’s crazy to me the people can disagree with Nora so strongly because she could tell me that Andrew and Neil are straight, have always been straight, and that I’m just delusional and my genuine response would be ‘oh wow you’re right! I can’t believe I didn’t see that until now, that makes perfect sense!’

Doodles after learning the different meanings of different wax seals; according to this infographic using blue wax indicates romance or passion, the darker the blue, the stronger the feelings. Abram only has red wax (the default option) if any at all, but luckily he knows exactly who to ask when he finally learns there’s a separate proper way to seal certain sweet letters to his prince

"I am the worst of everything," Nathaniel answers quietly, "the violence, the hatred and the power. I am the reason we survive, the reason we have over a dozen murder warrants to our name, the reason Kevin still has nightmares about the last name Wesninski. I am a perfect creation to continue my Father's legacy. I just don't want to. When the flight and freeze became too much in the past, I am the one who called upon fight." - from it's a punch and a kiss, i'm trying to remember.
