I DONT NEES TO THINK ABOUT THIS IT MAKES IT WORSE

why do this, whyyy.

but also like imagine if cass had put her other foster children in the same gymnastics like theyd be concerned because theyve seen it before and before, imagine what the coaches reactions would be when the aarons case came out and all the information on what drake had done gets out.

glad people are finally starting to agree that Andrew would be good at gymnastics. anyway, Cass put him in gymnastics while he lived with them

it slaps so hard

achilles who was never human. hector of troy who was once human and becomes his dying city. ajax the great who was always human.

achilles killed by the easiest to blame for the war. hector killed by this semidivine being of rage and grief. ajax, seeing what became of them both, killing himself before he can be overcome by whatever it was that took their humanity and turned them into a holy weapon and a city's dying cries, respectively. he will suffer in hades if it means he died a human.

OMG TY I LOVE IT HES SO CUTE IN YOUR ART SYTLE.

plz go and show the oringal post some love, ty very much to my sis @sippycupx for drawing my sweet boy

GUYS GUYS ELIO CHARCTER SHEET DROP WITH QUOTES AND SOME SMALL INFO [small info focus on tfc] I TOLD YALL I DONT LIE I GOT IT DONE LIKE 3 AND A HALF HOURS LATE BUT OH WELL [yes Ik his age changed but its math correct so he is four not six or five I'm such a damn liar but oh well] [if you saw thsi before on my account no you did not]

short info: like Neil, Elio’s documentation is fake however, like how Neil has a legal identity Elio had one for a few weeks before mary had a death certificate made for a Aurelio Nat Wesneski much to Abram’s dismay, when coach Wymack came to recruit Neil, Elio had went to wait in one of the stalls in the locker and heared people talking but decided to wait, when Andrew had hit Neil in the gut with the racquet Elio ended up coming out of the stall worried and angry at the blonde, Neil waited till after the others had left to scold Elio for coming out of hiding.

on the plan ride Elio had clung to Neil as he’s scared of planes, after arriving Elio isnt as quick as Neil at picking up the difference between the twins gets worried for himself no Neil when hearing germen, disliked staying at Womack’s due to Neil being worried, stayed with matt and seth instead of going to columbia but mainly stayed under the bed covers hidden, when Neil got back to the dorms Elio clung to him again, when Neil and Andrew made the deal Neil explained it to Elio when the seats got rearranged Elio curled up on Neils lap or sat on the floor right by Neils legs.

Elios favourite fox at the time became seth as the guy has knowledge of raising kids, and he had found out about Elios love for mac and cheese, he had also gifted Elio a racoon plush toy [yes I've given seth a slight character thing even tho it was basically only Allison and Elio seeing it as he was an ass to everyone else]

so uhh I just finished playing what remains of Edith finch and good god, that game deserves more l9ve its so like beautiful crafted the voice acting is amazing its like such a great game that I cat really put into words but the story is so amazing literally cried at some points

ALRIGHT PEOPLE WE ON BALITMORE THE PHONE CALL WITH LOLA LIKE BTICH FUCK OFF LEAVE HIM ALONE, JACKSON AKD ROMERO (I think that's how it spelt idc anyway I hate that guy) just being in security guard getups like "yeah this will work defo", Neil looking at his foxes is just my heart is shattering I can't do this rn, him debting between speaking German to Andrew but then knowing that the fuckeds would react violently

"thank you" he finally said, he couldn’t say he meant thanks for all of it. the keys, the trust,the honesty and the kisses. hopefully Andrew would figure it out eventually "you were amazing." like him not being able to fully say what he meant, it fucking sucks like my heart is fucking wreacked. the riot part also fucking sucks.

neil being dragged away by the bitches I hate those three they can all die, fuck my heart the way it just drops lola asking him questions and him figuring out that it was Nathan's circle with the birthday surprise, lola explaining what she's gonna do to him like why, LEAVE HIM ALONE (like ik that neil gets out but like still it hurts) him being tortured also fucking hurts, lola just asking her brother for the dashboard lighter, and then being burned him calling ber sick is just like neil I love you but like bro you gonna get tortured maybe don't try and rail them up (I try to think I'd do what neil does but I probably wouldn't)

the part where lola keeps wanting to know where mary is and nwil just repeating "she's dead" and then lola just asking about his teammates and then him not wanting to tell her shit is just so brave of him.

"he traced the outline of a key into his bloody burnt palm with a shaky finger closed his eyes and wished neil josten goodbye" the way he switches to nathaniel because nathaniel belonged to his father, Neil belongs to the foxes and abram belonged to Mary and now belongs to Andrew is just like such dramatic irony that it hurts, nathaniel just going to wash his hands so they don't get infected is just such a moment like he was on his death bed or basement or floor.

I'm sorry but Nathan just coming down without wearing shows LIKE SIR YOUR BASEMENT IS PROBABLY INFECTED WITH SO MUCH BACTERIA WHY GO DOWN BAREFOOT JUST WHY. Patrick walking down behind the man like dud why let the seriel killed wear no shows or socks just why. can I say Nathan's accent is so funny like ik we meet him when he's going to kill nathaniel but like it's a funny accent.

so thought for aftg/ a kit among foxes slight au art thing ig if you can call it an au anyway

but do you guys think that stuart has kids or is married or has kids older than neil and then those kids have kids or that nathan had siblings I know that there's an au where David is Nathan's brother and I follow that like its drugs

but basically a thought came when I was sketching poses for elio art and about one or two have another kid in them I'm aware I can just make the kid casey (my first aftg kid oc who won't get a fic just cuz icba may get a one shot here and there) but casey is about 9-10 in 2007 which wouldn't make the height of the poses make any sense so

do we think that neil has cousins who have their own kids who are like toddler age so like 3-5 like it would make some kinda sense for Stuart to have kids even if they wouldn't inherit anything from his crime stuff but like would it mak3 sense like so do I make an art piece with a grandkids of Stuart or do I make some random kid from elios school

I really just wanna iterate that it says so much that everyone just voted for yes with no context like this fandom is there like oh stabbing hell yeah

ok don't think about it just vote

keeping it appropriately vague to not spoil anything, it is aftg related, so just roll with it :]

you know the thing where a character is so full of trauma that their personality and personhood is buried deep within and it takes time, space and healing to coax it back to the surface, little by little? very good trope. i think it most often manifests as a character finding that they're kind and gentle and lovable. which is great. love a healing narrative.

anyway the thing about neil josten is that once you manage to override his instincts to flee long enough, is that he turns out to be such a bitch (affectionate). he's spent so long avoiding notice and slipping through fingers like his life depended on it (because it did), but when he's forced into the spotlight he's going to make it everyone's problem. catharsis and schadenfreude two for one deal
