#like Jean I get it but that’s NEIL

[greyhavensking]

Jean’s thoughts on Neil are so fascinating but also a little hilarious because we all know he’s a little freak but you never see him called out on it when it’s his POV

#all for the game #aftg #the sunshine court #tsc #also so very jarring to see him referred to as Nathaniel #so consistently at least #like Jean I get it but that’s NEIL

[purpleshadow-star]

It's kind of funny (heartbreaking) that there were multiple Ravens who wanted a number, to the point where some tried to manipulate Jean into helping them one way or another, but none of them would have been next in line. No matter what they did, there was always someone ahead of them on the list. Someone who wasn't even on the team. That someone wasn't Neil. Neil was a surprise to everyone, including Riko. That someone was Andrew.

Kevin might have had to beg Riko to go visit Andrew, and Riko might have laughed at Kevin and dismissed Andrew when Andrew turned him down, but make no mistake, if Andrew had accepted and had become a Raven, he would have taken that #4 spot within his first year.

If we're being real, Andrew had more of a chance at becoming part of the perfect Court than any of those Ravens ever had. Even Jean thinks of Andrew as one of them.

The other Ravens never stood a chance.

#i honestly dont think any of the ravens stood a chance #if they werent inked within their first year (or begore it) then they prob never would have been even if riko lived and the nest continued #riko (and kevin) seemed to choose people to recruit already knowing they'd be perfect court #like riko tried to get neil to join the ravens already knowing hed make him perfect court (in order to keep a claim on him) #and i fully believe kevin scouted andrew with full intentions of making him perfect court #so none of those other ravens who were torturing jean ever stood a chance #it was all for naught #idk if this makes any sense #it's like 12:30am where i am and im just rambling lol i should be asleep #anyway #aftg #all for the game #the sunshine court #the sunshine court spoilers #tsc spoilers #tsc #andrew minyard #neil josten #jean moreau #riko moriyama #kevin day #perfect court

Thinking about kevin being the platonic third person in the relationship of not just andreil but also jerejean like andrew ships kevin off to usc when he wants just one fckn weekend off the court and kevin has the time of his life there with jerejean and they go on little ice cream dates and they teach jeremy french. Kevin and jean learn to love each other for real and not just in desperation to survive and they all laugh and go over precision drills that jeremy passes along to his team and then when andreil pick kevin up on sunday night and he's all like that was fun now exy and neil is practically vibrating with excitement but andrew just rolls his eyes and indulges them both anyways but the main point of all this the only thing im saying is they all love kevin so much bc its what he deserves

#im an aspec kevin enthusiast actually #i like to think he gets to kiss jeremy just a little tho #but anyway kevin stays with jerejean every other weekend #so andreil can go on a date #i just noticed i didnt use any punction but ykno what im not changing it #read it all in a frantic blur bc thats how it felt to write ot #andreil #kandreil #jerejean #kevjerejean #all for the game #aftg #neil josten #andrew minyard #kevin day #jean moreau #jeremy knox

If tsc has made me realize anything, it is that we need to portray Neil way more feral and cutthroat in fan media

#aftg #all for the game #nora sakavic #the sunshine court #aftg thoughts #neil josten #like this man knows practically nothing ab Grayson just that he’s similar to drake and that’s enough for my man to put a price on his #fucking head #like let’s be so real #also #don’t think I glanced over Jean so rudely throwing away Andrew’s hidden candy bars #we got a little bit of the fixes post cannon and I will take all I can get #I didn’t think I could like Jean more but tsc proved me wrong #this man is so sassy and sad #it’s like Andrew and Neil’s personalities mixed together #Andrew is still my number one don’t get me wrong #but Jean is def my number two

[maeofthedead]

God, the bit in TSC where Jean is furious at the accusation that he didn't fight back because he did. Until one day he just couldn't get back up.

He was just a kid. He still is

#the sunshine court #tsc spoilers #jean moreau #am I doing a reread not 3 weeks later #maybe #am I going to cry just as many times reading this one? #oh absolutely #Like don't get me wrong #Neil is absolutely fucked up but he's always ready to throw down at a moment's notice #boy is absolutely feral #while jean just had the fight beaten out of him systematically until all he had left was the ability to get through

[catlaila]

as someone who is heavily fixated on college basketball and f1 i can assure you that people would absolutely be making edits of the foxes. i know for a fact that people would be OBSESSED with how messy neil is. the tiktoks on the infamous neil-riko beef starting from kathy’s show. the neil-kevin edits. did you know ive never been skiing interview would’ve had him trending for a full WEEK. riko fans would be scaryyyy and i know allison would be itching to give a bitchy reply if renee hadn’t taken her phone away so she wouldn’t make any comments to piss off raven fans anymore than they would’ve.

i don’t think andrew would be that popular at first but i think there’s a time where someone manages to dig up part of the twin’s past and it goes a bit viral so wymack tries to put him in front of a camera (horrible decision. they will never be doing that again until andrew’s forced to in his professional career). unfortunately for wymack this interview goes insanely viral bc andrew is physically incapable of not being cunty and now there are andrew edits. nicky sends all of them to neil, because nicky is terrified to actually show andrew, and neil is like hmm. well. hmm. and then watches them for hours

#i do think the trojans are the most popular but the foxes get a huge spike of a following in neil’s year #raven fans would be fuckinggg insufferableeeeee #there’d be discussion on how riko is like peak alpha or whatever. gaggg #there is exactly (1) edit of jerejean to so american and jean will be like ‘this is stupid’ and jere will be like ‘haha yeah’ #and then he’ll proceed to watch it 450 times #i know kevin transferring had the same reaction as when lewis hamilton switched to ferrari #aftg #all for the game

[crazy-fangirl2524]

Tsc 2 should end with the Trojans winning the championship just like how tkm ends with the foxes winning

#pls the poetic parallel of it if this happens plsplsplspls that’s all I ask for #I rlly wanna read how Jean plays an actual exy game because the way Neil describes it is so urgh makes me wanna play exy so bad but as #Jeremy observed Jean doesn’t hate exy so like I wonder how his pov will be during an exy game #will it be as intensed as Neil’s?? or just whatever because he doesn’t care but he can’t not care cuz that’s his life on the line #I just need to know I need to read the trojans playing against the foxes for championship and Jeremy getting the win he deserves #and Jean and Kevin facing each other on court for the first time in so long pls #Ngl pls Nora write a third book and just dedicate the entire third book to exy games I’ll read the shit out of it #like second book can solve all the issues then third book all the exy games #literally never been so obsessed with a sport like #like I can read forever about it #aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court #aftg series #aftg fandom #andrew minyard #aftg incorrect quotes #neil josten #andrew joseph minyard #the sunshine court #tsc

just. you know. neil and jean 😵‍💫 as funny and jaw dropping as it is for the reader, i can’t imagine how satisfying it must be for neil to call a hit on grayson. first he was just too late to protect andrew from drake in columbia and then he tried so so so hard to keep andrew safe at easthaven, suffered so much abuse for it, and still it wasn’t enough. then he finds out about jean, about the sexual violence this boy has been subject to, and doesn’t waste a second wondering whether he should or shouldn’t, can or can’t, do something to stop it. he just does. i wonder how often he thinks about what else he could have done to shield andrew in a similar way, had he not been paranoid about being found out. i wonder if jean will think about this at all, if he’ll agonize over his role in neil’s abuse at the nest or if he’s still too fucked in the head to realize that sincere apologies do go a long way (not that neil is looking for one, in the same way jean isn’t looking for an apology from kevin or lucas). just…. the intertwining of neil and jean and kevin and andrew’s trauma, and the role they all play in making it worse And helping to break the cycle. smth smth giving ppl one more chance than everyone else has given them

#smth smth perfect court blah blah im SICK!!!!! #jean moreau #neil josten #the sunshine court #all for the game #tsc #aftg #this isn’t like. coherent. but u get it i know u get it we all read the same books #seedpost

[knickknacksandallthat]

now all i can think about is matt asking jean if he and kevin have bumped baguettes yet and the chaos that follows

anon, the gift that keeps on giving...Matt's completely inappropriate use of french pastries:

*Jeremy, Jean, and Kevin return from hospital*

MATT: Hey, you guys are back! Great! We have a question for you.

AARON: *sliding hand over face* oh no.

DAN: *pointing finger at Matt* Matthew Donovan Boyd, don't you dare-

MATT: so, I mean, clear this up for us if you can, boys. What exactly are you doing with Kev?

JEREMY: *visibly confused* You mean...other than taking him home from the hospital?

MATT: And?

JEAN: And what?

MATT: Come on, Moreau, don't play dumb. Tell us - are you and Knox bumping baguettes together with him?

JEAN: *deadeyeing matt now* What.

AARON: Jesus fucking Christ, Boyd.

ALLISON: Shush, don't stop them - I'm recording.

MATT: Dude, I'm just saying - are you putting the tang in his tart? The cream in his eclair? The flake in his croissant? The meringue in his macaron? The pain in his au chocolat? The tutti in his frutti?

KEVIN: *brow furrowed as he turns to Jean* Are you suddenly opening a French bakery that I'm unaware of?

JEAN: *handing his coat to Jeremy and rolling up his sleeves* Boyd, in the name of Kevin's honor and justice for all of France, prepare to have your ass kicked.

Part 2 to this ask

#cue chaos and kevin's apartment going to shambles #just another fox reunion #wymack doesn't even blink when neil answers kevin's phone only to find #renee standing on top of a thoroughly pissed jean #boyd up in dan's arms like a frightened cat #kevin with his hair standing on end and face red as he stands between the two snapping something #Allison gleefully still recording on her cell phone #aaron and katelyn packing up to leave #while Andrew and Jeremy sit in the background eating bagels with strawberry cream #hell yes I'm pushing the Knox/Minyard friendship agenda #I just feel like for some reason if anyone was going to get to Andrew it'd be Jeremy #brilliant add anon #fic asks #a fallen star #my works #kevin day #jeremy knox #jean moreau #kerejean #matt boyd #aftg #all for the game #lovely people #thank you for the ask anon!

qpr jean and neil. that's all i'm gonna say.

do you see my vision?

#i might add onto this later but right now I'm too busy crying #“misplaced forever partner” ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT DESTROYED ME #neil ordering a hit to keep jean safe changed my brain chemistry #i need them to be friends #i need them to call each other and gossip and send each other stupid memes that only they understand #i need them to slowly grow closer as they heal until one day they can finish each other's sentences #and they ocassionally make super dark jokes about their trauma out of the blue (they bet on how people will react competitively) #i need them to call each other derogatory names but get Super Upset whenever anyone else talks shit about the other and offer to kill them #and i would love them to reclaim the spots next to each other that riko set #and make them their own #they're not partners on the court but they sure as hell are partners in life #the mcs ever #at one point andrew and jeremy are just looking at each other across a table at a restaurant as these two bicker #and realize they have somehow both become the Third Wheel despite the fact that 1) there's four of them and 2) jean and neil aren't dating #the amount of queer platonic pining i could fit in these traumatized people #the: “i'm lowkey obsessed with you but I Really don't like you romantically and I don't know what to do with it” #and the: “oh thank hell me too i thought i was even weirder than i already am. wanna go harass the fbi with me?" #jeremy and andrew watch this trainwreck both exasperatedly and proudly you can't convince me otherwise #cannot convince me that these four won't somehow end up living in each others pockets even if they live 1000 miles away #kevin pops in frequently as his usual wonderful diva self #anyway i'm going insane how yall doing #neil josten #jean moreau #all for the game #the sunshine court

Give me Nicky creating a video full of blurry photos and awkward 2000s transitions for Neil's bday (not the actual one, the 31st of March one) with the "Bitch" song by meredith Brooks.

Lyrics come up, "I'm a bitch" and it's a still of Neil roasting on press duty

"Im a lover" Neil stealing a glance at Andrew, a small smile on his face

"Im a child" photo taken from high angle of Neil looking up at the camera, indignation all over his face, a granola bar in his mouth

"Im a mother" Neil pointing at Kevin chewing him out while Kev is saying sth arms crossed on his chest (or better yet, Kevin and Jean walking to opposite directions but there's a leash around their chest that Neil is holding)

"Im a sinner" shot of Neil eating pinneaple on Pizza and Matt and Dan looking horrified and disgusted on the background

"Im a saint" meme of the cat with the dozen knifes at its throat but on the face of the cat is a poorly cropped picture of Neil raising his eyebrow

something about how even though jean's been calling neil 'nathaniel' in his head this whole time, he never says it to his face (preferring his several wonderful insults <3), despite the fact that neil's father is dead now and they no longer belong to the minor family. because he knows that's not who neil is anymore, it's not who he's chosen to be, it's not his name. but it's not until riko's dead that jean gives himself implicit permission to abide by neil's new identity -- even in his own head! -- because he knows riko never would have allowed it.

#next up: reclaiming his own name! #also this name switch actually was more impactful for me personally than when neil switches to nathaniel in tkm #probably because there's so much going on in that chapter already and then it just continues on and you don't really get a chance to like #sit with it for a minute? i think that point should probably have been at the end of a chapter. but that's just me #my point is i think this one was executed really wonderfully because i was waiting for it to happen and wondering when it was gonna be #maybe the next time i make a post about this book it won't be about jean and neil? we'll see! #the sunshine court #jean moreau #neil josten #tsc #tfc #emma reads tsc

Seeing people reacting to tsc and them getting shock over things I thought was obvious and I was getting annoyed until I realised maybe not everyone reread aftg like a million times and have read most of the analytical posts and yeah maybe I am the problem instead

#I’m so pretentious about aftg lmao #like people be like Neil is feral?! not just uwu baby?? #or be like omg Kevin and Jean friendship surprise surprise and I’m like ???? #or people shocked by jeans trauma and I was like hello the EC ?! #and people talking about not knowing the foxes or usc winning for the next match and I was like babe it was in the EC #and people talking about why Kevin was sticking to Andrew and was because the nest buddy system and not for Andrew’s benefit/deal #and I was like WASNT THAT OBVIOUS?! #then I realised I’m just crazy and obsessed and yeah hi I’m the problem it’s me #I forgot people could casually enjoy the series yk #I thought it’s either all or nothing like wdym not everyone get entirely consumed by aftg and remember and know every single thing??? #my friend literally called me the EC in a human form because any question she got she just ask me and I can answer it like it’s the most #common sense question and that’s why she said she never even bothered to read the EC because I can just tell her eveyrthing #okay maybe I have some slight issues but anyways #anyways it’s just cuz seeing the post going over things I thought everyone knew I was just like 😭??!!! #aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court #aftg series #aftg fandom #aftg incorrect quotes #the sunshine court #tsc #aftg shitpost #aftg textpost #aftg thoughts #tfc textpost #tfc shitpost #incorrect tfc #tfc meme
