Cult Tips for AFTG writers

notes from the resident ex-cult pastor

If you’re in the cult, there is nothing bizarre abt what’s happening and in fact the normal stuff that happens outside of it is what’s bizarre to you. Target? Weird. McDonald’s? Even weirder. I can like guarantee Jean and Kevin never had McDonald’s until they left the Nest.

When you leave, you’re gonna be paranoid as fuck. All the time. Ngl at least for weeks but sometimes for years. Nightmares and insomnia 24/7. Hallucinations too lmao Riko is in every corner of empty rooms and you can hear his voice echo in the confines of the lockers.

I see a lot of Jean wanting to go back to the Nest, but not a lot of Kevin wanting to go back. He definitely struggled, 100%. In fact when he was in the pits of agony from his broken hand, was when he probably wanted to go back the most. Cult is home, cult is safe. Four walls you’ve always known and while it’s a cage at least it’s dependable. They hurt you but by god it always works out and the reward of pushing through this tragic incident is greater than the terror it caused in the first place. It’s a gift, actually. A gift from Riko. He saved Kevin. Cults save you. Cults make you wanna return to them like damn homing pigeons bruh. Give me more shattered hand Kevin screaming at Wymack to let him go back home and having a breakdown when he’s denied fics thanks

Piggybacking off the last one: cults are saviors; you’re nothing without them and they make sure you truly believe that; that everything that is done to you is for you and you’re blessed for it to be happening. You’re lucky even, to be allowed in it. Everything is as it’s supposed to be and order must never be challenged, because it works, and you’re the Edgar Allan Ravens, and this is the most honorable place you could be. All the pain you go through is you earning the right to be saved and to prove your worth every day on court. Only the worthy are honored.

You justify everything that happened and you will start fights and get angry with people who try to correct you and tell you it was wrong what went on.

On the other hand, you blame yourself for everything ever that happened there whether you were at fault or not. Hurting others, hurting yourself, gaslighting the fuck out of yourself over things maybe you could’ve prevented and over things you never could’ve stopped. The guilt is crippling and it eats you alive and haunts you.

There’s a lot of shame too. I see more guilt written than shame but shame is a huge portion of emotions that cult survivors have. Shits embarassing dude like “god how did I end up thinking this wack ass shit was normal” 😐 Shame comes later in the healing process usually, it’s after you have come to terms with shit that’s happened and you understand it. Looking back, you go “Jesus fucking Christ that was a red flag what the hell. Should’ve left then, or then, or then, or then” and then you’re just plain fuckin embarrassed.

Please look up how hive minds and brainwashing are created and work; also Stockholm Syndrome; understanding these would be incredibly helpful tbfh.

Diets are big; everyone eats the same thing; food is used as a reward and a punishment.

Hype hype hype. They whip up a frenzy of one singular emotion and use that to push you into a blind hysteria because you’re more suspectible to their influence when you’re out of your mind.

Drugs. Depends on the cult. But yeah these little bitches can be a huge factor for shit and can help with the brainwashing and hysteria and stockholm. Sometimes you don’t even know you’re being drugged or poisoned until you leave.

OH I ALMOST FORGOT. Dehumanization and then being treated like a person again can be traumatic as fuck yall!! Holy shit! Sometimes it feels worse than being dehumanized!

EDIT AGAIN: you don’t know what mental illness is !! Cults don’t fucking tell you these things lmao. if you show symptoms it’s your fault. Kevin being depressed his mom died was gonna get blamed on him and he was never going to be told grief is normal and it’s okay to be insanely sad. Jean also never got told his anger was correct or his trauma responses to being raped were realistic! They just got blamed for any reactions ever that weren’t neurotypical !! that is all; do with that what you will.

Idk if I think of anything else I’ll write another one but that’s all for now; I haven’t slept much lmao 🫡

I keep imagine how WILD it has to have been a 1st year Raven.

The first day speech being something like:

"All your friends and family?? Forget them, they are outsiders now. They'll never knoe the true spirit of and exy player. You are now better than them in every shape or for form.

If you had other dreams they end now and forever. You'll have to kys at like 40 when you can't play anymore, so don't even bother.

Anyways, welcome to Evermore we have cookies in the kitchen. They are made of 0% sugar and 100% brainwashing juice. Enjoy!"

But yeah in all seriusness, imagine being 18 and so excited bc the best team in the country saw potential in you and then finding out in the firts 20 minutes that you just signed yourself into a cult and you have to suck it up.

Maybe they just search for very lonely people (like all cults do) idk.

[codename-adler]

all i’m saying is, did Kayleigh Day really die?

we never did “see” a body after all. no proof from a trustworthy source, at least. sure, it’s on theme for the found family of assholes with no parental supervision whatsoever, but what if?

all i’m saying is, Kayleigh Day did not need to die, so did she really?

Tilda Minyard needed to die, because it was the only way to get her out of the way for good and to stop her from hurting Aaron. she needed to die because the twins needed to go to Nicky, and the twins needed an unforgivable rift thrown between them. and Andrew personally saw to that. confirmed kill #1.

Mary Hatford needed to die, because it was the only way to unleash Neil and push him in the Foxes’ arms. she needed to die because without her Neil is let loose, halfway there to freedom, and Andrew. she’s the trigger. and Neil personally witnessed her demise. confirmed kill #2.

Seth Gordon needed to die, because the Foxes had to come together. did he od by accident? on purpose? was there a certain mafia involved? we don’t know. but Wymack called, and the Foxes did go on without him, for the better. confirmed kill #3.

Drake Spear needed to die because he’s an evil monster piece of shit. Aaron personally got rid of the trash. confirmed kill #4.

Kengo Moriyama needed to die, because Riko Moriyama needed to die. and Ichirou needed to pull the trigger on the last one. Ichirou would never come into power were his father not dead for good. confirmed kill #5.

Nathan Wesninski needed to die, because Neil needed to be real, and free. Nathan needed to die because as long as he was alive, Neil couldn’t keep on living, could never stop running. Neil personally lived the moment he was set free by his uncle. even the FBI collected the leftover garbage. confirmed kill #6.

Riko Moriyama didn’t necessarily need to die, but he did. shot fast and true. karma came and collected, by the hand of Ichirou. confirmed kill #7.

what do all of these deaths have in common? trustful information. absolutely no gray area; done deal. also, major turning plot points unsolvable by anything else than death. none of the resolutions or conflicts work unless there is an absolute zero chance of the threat coming back. the story cannot progress if any of these characters comes back from the dead, and so the narrative makes it explicitly clear that each of them is cold turkey.

except Kayleigh Day. the only two nebulous circumstances surrounding death in the series are Seth’s and Kayleigh’s. both deaths are Moriyama-tainted. however, Seth’s case is unsolved because we’ll never know who really pulled the plug. Wymack, the only trustworthy reference, confirms Seth’s death without a shadow of a doubt.

Kayleigh’s death is reported by the Moriyamas.

Kayleigh needed to be removed, because Tetsuji and Riko needed Kevin for themselves.

Kayleigh’s death is the only “accident” in the series, outside of Seth, but as previously said, there’s reasonable doubt there too.

Kayleigh’s death is the only pre-canon death that does not show a body. Andrew took care of Tilda; Neil took care of Mary.

Kayleigh’s death is the only one reported by the enemy.

Kayleigh’s death is the only one not discussed in heavy details.

all clues point to the Moriyamas orchestrating her car accident, but what if it’s more? what if it goes as far as faking her death? what if she’s alive somewhere, sequestered? what if she’s alive somewhere, undercover?

as TKM ends, we witness the beginning of Tetsuji and the Raven empire’s fall, Nathan’s fall, and the Moriyama empire being reshaped by a new leader. but it stops before the repercussions unfold. before we actually get to see everything that entails, what other secrets, irrelevant to Neil’s journey, are waiting to come out.

what if the resurrection of the Mother of Exy is one of them?

[scholliski]

do you think anyone ever starts making connections between Kayleigh’s car crash and tetsuji? I can’t imagine that no questions are raised once he is fired for abuse and running a cult years after his best friend happens to die in a car accident that leaves the exy fortune and Kevin day solely to him…

I put in my notes on Kindle on the line of Wymack telling Jean he was never letting Moriyama/Riko touch him again, something about how protective Wymack is makes me love him so much. Like in this chapter Nora refers to the airport scene with Neil and Wymack and it just reminded me how strong and caring but not quite paternal yet still a father figure Wymack is for the Foxes and really any stray desolate child who comes to his door. He's so good. Obviously it'd be heartless to send Jean back, especially like this but even at all, but to be SO dedicated and to say it to Jean's face so blatantly and be like "fuck them fuck you I'm not letting them hurt you and you can hold me to it" it just makes my heart hurt? I love him sm.

i feel bad for asking a few already buuuut...I neeeed the continuation of Math Nerd, either return from evermore (tetsuji you absolute twat) or ichirous reaction in the hospital

WIP Wednesday - Closed (8/30/23) | Math Nerd AU

"Neil." Ichirou's voice is even, "How was your winter break?" he asks and Andrew can hear the other two Moriyama's suck in their breath in shock.

"I think I still enjoyed it more than I would have enjoyed the one you wanted me to go on." Neil says, "Jean has shown great progress and I enjoyed my time getting to know your brother." Neil says from where he was still resting in Andrew's arms.

"You're still a shit." Ichirou hisses rolling his eyes. "I came to pick you up but it seems Minyard won't give up that position." his gaze slides from Neil to Riko and his eyes grow colder. "Come here." he orders and Riko scrambles to Ichirou's side despite looking as if he was only a moment from passing out.

"Yes, young-"

"You are my brother. There is no need for that." Ichirou says, "We have much to discuss, father has left us few opportunities to interact." he says.

[rosalinesurvived]

Its being insane over Riko Moriyama hours. Guys, he wasn’t even murdered because he was an abuser. The whooole establishing reason for Kevin leaving and kickstarting the Foxes against the Ravens was because Riko was an abusive fuck and they didn’t even kill Riko for that reason. He was killed because as the Ravens lost, Kevin and Jean left, Riko ultimately became a dangerous liability. They killed him because he became worthless to them.

In the end, after all of that, Riko doesnt die as an abuser. He dies because he’s an abused child nobody cares about enough to keep. Again, a pet, a golden goose, nearly a similar thing to what Riko saw Jean and Kevin as, only with the twisted emotions removed.

Riko’s death being ruled a suicide cements it. The coronors were manipulated by the Yakuza. The public know nothing. He was murdered by his older cousin and nobody cared. The true masterminds behind most of it–Kengo, Tetsuji, Ichirou, they get away with it.

aftg AU where Renee joins the Ravens in the middle of the season and it’s this utter betrayal to the Foxes, but in reality her loyalty never wavers; she goes undercover to get dirt on Riko and Tetsuji, and to finally get Jean out of Evermore Hell. she’s been in a gang, she knows one when she sees one and she knows every way they work. and how they fall. it drives Andrew crazy not to know what she’s up to, bc she tells him jackshit before she puts her plan into motion and she doesn’t contact him the whole time. after Neil, she is the second person to come back to him, willingly. Allison suffers a second heartbreak after Seth, and she’s so angry at Renee for abandoning her and the team, and even more angry when she comes back and Allison realizes it was all planned out, but the second Renee gets out of the car she runs and throws caution to the wind just to kiss her square on the mouth even as Jean tries to get out behind her. in this fic i’ll probably never write, i’ll…
