The King’s Game

I believe Riko plays cards while Kevin plays chess. The King is worth more than the Queen but Riko forgets the Ace (Neil) holds even more power

All the cards and what they’re supposed to represent

King of Spades (Riko)

Joker of Clubs (Jean)

Queen of Diamonds (Kevin)

3 of Diamonds (Andrew)

10 of Hearts (Neil Josten persona)

Ace of Hearts (Nathaniel/Abram/Neil)

King of Hearts (Nathan)

Details I did:

- Riko’s hand under the table, holding Nathan to symbolize him cheating/waiting to use the Butcher

- First drawing: Riko holding his perfect court (A for Nathaniel, Q for Kevin, J for Jean) while grinning at the bloody 10 (Neil) because even if he’s about to win with a royal flush (Ace, King, Queen, Joker, 10) he’s willing to cheat (Nathan under the table) but Riko is unaware that a royal flush needs to be of the same suits so his is just a straight (which isn’t enough for Riko)

- Second: Riko holding his incomplete perfect court (Nathaniel, Riko, Jean) he stares at the two remaining members he needs for his wrongly assumed royal flush (Andrew and Kevin) Riko intends to cheat to have his way so Nathan is hidden under the table

- Riko’s assumption for a royal flush is because it’s the highest value in poker. But since all of the cards are different suits (representing their individuality from the Nest) he’s only got a straight

- Neil would also be a wild card because royal flushes only have as much value without wild cards in a game (something Riko does not prepare for)

I just got done at a conference on trauma informed care in foster homes and attachment disorders in children with trauma and there was an emphasis on if there isn’t intervention, and honestly? I thought a lot about Andrew and Riko on the drive home and how accurate Nora’s portrayal of them was given the trauma they endured. Heck Neil too.

just saw someone say 'riko could have ended the entire cycle of abuse because he should have been smart enough to know what he was doing'

sure its the job of the currently being abused teenager who was raised in a cult to fix likely generations of yakuza based abuse and not the adults in his life's job to be fucking better

be so for real, you can hate him but this fandom is so fucking gross about how they talk about abuse

i keep seeing people hating on kevin for leaving jean behind as well and as a person who had to leave their brother behind when they were escaping an abusive household, it makes me fucking sick to hear your bullshit

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys is SO Kevin and Riko coded.

Rivulets descend my plastic smile

Kevin's media smile he needs to fake all the time

My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I'm queen of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh-oh

Riko truly only breaks Kevin and Jean so cruely because they're "his" toys. They shield the other Ravens from the worst of it.

Kevin is the Queen and Riko's castle was destroyed by his own hubris

'Cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night

I should've known it was a matter of time, oh, oh-oh

Kevin fit too well as a striker supporting Riko that people suspected he was being held back.

Riko broke his hand in the dead of night after putting together the pieces that Kevin could surpass him

Kevin should've known it was only a matter of time before Riko broke him beyond repair because of his skill

There was a litany of reasons why we could've played for keeps this time

This time they were playing to see who was truly the best

My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I'm queen of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh-oh 'Cause I knew too much, there was danger in the heat of my touch He saw forever so he smashed it up, oh, oh-oh

Kevin knew he could beat Riko but held back, which was dangerous.

Riko saw it, saw that Kevin could replace him as King forever, so he smashed Kevin's hand. His chance at besting him.

Once I fix me (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) He's gonna miss me (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

When Kevin was able to play again, Riko tried to force Kevin back to the Ravens.

Just say when, I'd play again

He was my best friend down at the sandlot

Kevin wanted nothing more than to play exy again and would do anything, even join the foxes and learn to play right handed.

Riko was Kevin's best friend and partner from such a young age.

Left all these broken parts (oh-oh) Told me I'm better off (oh-oh) But I'm not (oh-oh)

Left Kevin broken mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Told him he'd be better as a Raven's assistant coach not playing anymore, but he wouldn't be.

I was re-reading the foxhole court and…

I love kev and neil

I have many of this

Just had a sick thought that if Jean knew who Drake was and what he did to Andrew, that means that Riko must have told him everything. Thinking about Riko’s sick, psychopathic face, how excited he would’ve been to have found Andrew’s childhood rapist, how enthusiastic he would’ve been about Proust.

And Jean just had to sit there and listen to it. He had to agree to what he had to agree to, he had to tell Riko what he wanted to hear, just to keep the peace, to avoid another beating. Jean knew Riko was orchestrating Andrew’s assault. He knew what Riko wanted Proust to do to Andrew. He knew Riko was planning to break Andrew, the unwavering force that he is, and Jean couldn’t do a single solitary thing to stop it

#I wonder if he thinks of that when he sees Andrew #knowing he was the only one who could’ve stopped it or warned someone #yet he probably lives with the weight of Andrew’s retraumatization on his shoulders #AND if we go by EC let’s not forget that proust recording himself abusing Andrew #let’s not forget Riko probably got so much joy watching Jean squirm #as he forced him to see what he’d allowed to happen #ugh #this is worded so badly but #Jean Jean Jean you KNEWWWS #Jean Moreau #Riko Moriyama #Andrew minyard #tsc #the sunshine court #aftg #tfc #all for the game #do you think when Grayson shows up #and Jean compared him to drake #that he feels like it’s karma for allowing drake to find Andrew again

Wip of Riko the King of Exy

I had to put a pause on this drawing because sunshine court was calling my name

#aftg #all for the game #art #fanart #riko moriyama #wip #doodles

[eheavenlyy]

can we just talk about how scary it must’ve been for everyone to see riko try to literally murder neil after the championship game, but especially for andrew who had to watch his person almost get taken from him just as things were getting better. this is not the first time or even the second time he was almost without neil — as in forever if riko or his father has succeeded the times before — but this was the first time that he saw it for himself and had to experience the in the moment feelings of “this might be it” as he watched riko raise that racquet to neil; i know for a fact it was one of the scariest things he’s ever witnessed.

I would like to thank the Sunshine Court for drop kicking me back into the AFTG obsession

Imagining a world where one day Jean snaps and well, snaps Riko’s neck. He knows the Moriyama’s will kill him for it but living under Riko makes him want to die anyway, at least this way, other people might be safer, happier.
