I love that scene in tkm where Wymack tells Neil he's going to make him vice captain the next year and Neil tries to politely decline (on the grounds that he'll be dead by then) and Wymack is literally like too bad bitch. This isn't a democracy and i say you're the next captain so figure it out

#neil didnt tell wymack why he's reluctant to accept of course #but his internal monologue was somehow simultaneously depressing and funny as fuck #neil: you should pick up an extra striker for next year #wymack: why 🤨 #neil: *sweating* no reason #aftg #neil josten #all for the game #the kings men #coach wymack #wymack

The thing that gets me about Wymack is that he doesn't actually have to bribe Andrew into playing. Wymack already holds three very valuable bargaining chips: Andrew, Nicky and Aaron's free college education.

You see, Andrew doesn't give a shit about himself or if he gets kicked off the team and loses his scholarship. But what he does care about is keeping his promises and keeping his family together, and he can't do that if he and his family have to drop out. Plus, Nicky would be crushed, and Aaron would never forgive him for costing him his one shot at becoming a doctor.

So he needs Wymack, and he needs his family to stay on the team. Thus, it would be very easy for Wymack to use that as leverage to make Andrew play properly. Hell, Andrew probably even expected him to at one point.

And yet, Wymack never once cashes that in.

He doesn't, because doing so would be a betrayal of the fragile trust he's built with Andrew. It would be a power play, further proof for Andrew that older adults only want to take advantage and use him. Proof that Wymack cares more about winning than he does his players. Proof that Wymack isn't who he says he is.

Instead, Wymack plays Andrew's game. He lets Andrew extort him for alcohol and favors in exchange for saving their asses in the goalbox. He lets Andrew think he's getting one up on his coach. In the end, he lets Andrew find his own reasons to play on his own time.

Once again thinking about how I think that one of the things that keeps David Wymack up all night is his guilt for 1. never having claimed Kevin as soon as Kayleigh died and 2. never getting the chance to rescue Riko either

Honestly, the thing I'm gonna miss most in TSC is Wymack's attitude and cutting but loving remarks. Coach Rhemann, good luck filling those shoes.

just got reminded of this in my reread but like isn't it insane that Neil didn't actually know the whole Moriyama mafia part of Kevin's life until Wymack let him in on it like goddamn this poor kid is taking the most insane chance anyway playing exy so publicly and directly against his mother's wishes, putting himself directly in sight of his father and then boom surprise it's so so much worse that he could have imagined and bro just has to roll with it ;-;

Kevin first year at PSU as an assistant coach must have been sooo funny because how many late into the night game strategy meetings he had with Wymack where they were both like

Wymack, cold sweating, deeply in denial: How do I encourage his progress and say he is making his mother proud without making it blatantly clear I slept with her about ten months before he was born

Kevin, avoiding eye contact, trying to repress 12 different levels of depression: Don't call him dad don't call him dad don't call him dad don't call-

LMFAOOO im a firm believer that kevin is kayleighs spitting image so i think wymack was fairly haunted by kevins existence just on the nature of how he looks. while kevin was fighting for his life and repressing 12 levels of depression wymack was blaring a signal in his head repeating DO NOT, IN ANY POSSIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE, CALL HIM KAYLEIGH. DO NOT SAY HER NAME and even then i think he does it at least once

#asks #kevin #wymack #do u guys remember that post about wymack snapping at kevin and calling him kayleigh #it hautns me. it Haunts me

[rise-deepseamonster]

Wymack: I think we’re missing something

Dan: Teamwork?

Kevin: Cohesion?

Aaron: A general sense of what we’re doing?

Andrew: no no no we’RE MISSING NEIL WHERE’S JOSTEN

neil: got it, totally understand, coach

*hangs up*

neil: i have to go to the nest and take matters into my own hands

speed run

matt and dans 2 kids running around at fox get togethers while having everyone wrapped around their fingers. matt chases them while Dan laughs at the scene with a hand on her growing stomach

kevin running off the court and hugging wymack after getting gold at the olympics. they hold each other tightly as the crowd screams

neil and andrew sprawled on their couch in their new home with the cats. it’s the middle of the summer and Andrew is eating ice cream while neil munches on some fruit. the box fan rattles in the corner

renee wearing a sundress while walking along the beach. she’s smiling softly as she recalls every person she has helped

allison relaxing in her office after a long day of work. she looks out the window at the bustling city and tears up at how far she has come

(theyre both looking at the sky at the same time, of course)

aaron graduating medical school and all of the foxes are there. nicky cries the whole time as he clings to eric. Wymack is one of the last people to hug aaron and he whispers “i’m proud of you son” in his ear

nicky and Eric get married in Germany after graduation. the foxes show up and the twins seem… softer than usual

jean finally gets to retire from exy. it’s a wave of relief as he walks off the court for the last time. jeremy embraces him on the sidelines and they make their way home

Wymack, picking up the phone: what happened

Matt: maybe playing ‘whose family is most dysfunctional’ wasn’t the best idea we’ve had

Matt: neil's been crying in the bathroom for an hour. We can’t get him out

I know i'm like 7 years late with the realization, but the first time reading the All for the game books left only chaos in my brain, which i haven't revisited since 2016.. until now!

So now rereading The raven king and knowing what will happen, the funny realization is seeing Wymack being the first one to probably guess something happening between Neil and Andrew.

When the whole "Andrew's hand under Neil's t-shirt to gain his trust, while standing in front of other ppl" scene was going on, and Wymack seeing it, and later asking Neil:

It's the "Wymack eyed him" so funny for me, bc he just realized even Neil didn't know. (I think Wymack was facepalming on the inside, thinking 'he really is that stupid'.)

And then at the beginning of The King's men, again:

("A brief, pitying glance." You love to read that! poor Neil lol, he's only confused by what Wymack means)

ajbfjdj it's almost a comedy (and a tragedy, at the same time 🥲)

#aahh rereading it feels so nostalgic #im only at the beginning of the kings men but im already postponing reading it bc i know whats gonna happen.......trauma and angst and pain #but at the same time!!! i missed them! idk why i havent reread it sooner sometime in the past years #but its a funny experience to do so even now #tfc #all for the game #andreil #wymack #neil josten #andrew minyard #i have too many screenshots mostly of andreil slowly happening before they even realize that its so painful and incredible 😭🥲 #mine #aftg #the foxhole court
