lol, anyways, happy pride cuties!!

just adding to this the narrator who is called dias who is the one with the kid the kids name is milo is like unreliable in the sense that he doesn't really care at the start of what the groups going he also doesn't really give two fucks about himself so like all his energy that either isn't put into keeping milo alive or ice hockey is literally used making the teams issues harder i mean like it does get better after like the groups been dealing with it for 3 months on the 5 month someone in the team dies because of the whole crime familys thing going on in the actual world they all live in

me out here writing a oc fic thing of a college ice hockey team one of them has a kid the teams dysfunctional as fuck and they end up going to a doffrent dimension every night for 6-8 hours and there's the fucking crime family shit not to mention suicide crime family has a damn facility for these experiments on the other dimension man this team is going so much shit

i always thought that too because Nathan wasn't doing anything that would have him to have to give up nathaniel as a way to get out of debt and like we know due to the ec and canon that Kevin, riko, and neil had all seen someone cut up in one of the towers at edger Allen so it's not far fetched to think that neil would have still been trained by his father in the towers and got all the other training via being perfect court because why would kendo even allow riko to break neil in the same ways he broke Kevin and jean it doesn't make sense if neil is to take after his father

okay my personal thought and assumption has always been that Neil would have had a totally different Nest experience than Kevin or Jean did. I had always assumed that he wasn’t getting sold off to the Moriyamas to repay a debt but that he was getting placed in an environment to be groomed into Nathan 2.0, for when Ichirou took over. Like the violence of the nest to train him and isolation from his parents so he had only loyalty to the Moriyamas. So that eventually when Kengo died and Ichirou took over there was a replacement for Nathan ready and (hopefully) willing to go

me but its always the baltimore scene via the audio books cuz gotta love the angst for comfort

This is very me coded fam.

it's was just a bunch of a crickets just hearing ppl breath fr

Thinking about how Andrew choked Kevin when he realised Neil was missing.

Andrew who would kill anyone who looked at Kevin the wrong way. Andrew who would stab whomever if it meant Kevin was safe. Andrew who saw a broken raven and said I’ll protect you and meant it and kept that promise like his life depended on it.

Andrew who nearly killed Allison because of a promise. Andrew who would’ve never talked to Neil again because of a promise.

Yet when there was ambulances and injured foxes and you were amazing before Neil’s gear with his phone, with a 0 on screen and a Baltimore caller ID, Andrew turned on Kevin.

Can you imagine being the other foxes and watching that happen? Knowing what Andrew would do to them for so much as breathing at Kevin in the wrong direction, now Neil was missing and Andrew was hurting Kevin and something is happening here.

Andrew and Kevin don’t have the luxury of a second language to talk to each other in, either. Whereas secrets were usually shared in French and German so the others couldn’t understand, now there’s nothing to hide behind, and Andrew doesn’t care either. Where is Neil, who is he, who’s taken him, is he safe? Is he alive?

Then picture being Kevin, knowing Andrew, knowing what this means, that Neil is more important to Andrew than he is now, so much so that he would hurt him for Neil. Not only does he know that; but he knows there’s a good chance that Neil is dead. If it’s his father, it’s not the Moriyama’s; he is the butchers son, after all, and the butcher was never keen to spare a life.

So the foxes know nothing and everything at the same time on that bus journey out to wait for his return. They know they’re hurt, that something is very wrong. They know Kevin has bruises around his neck, and Andrew can’t look him in the eye. They think they understand now why Neil got everything he asked for from Andrew; and Andrew thinks he might never see him again.

I’d say it was the quietest bus journey of their lives.

I second this notion like coming from someone who watched American tv shows growing up in the UK I have been asked if I was actually American because my accent is mixed between them both

neil's accent is going to be a bit of a weird combination due to his mother being british, him being primarily raised by her, but also being born and (mostly) raised in the US, factored in with all the other places he would've had to blend in to on the run. so naturally his accent will shift slightly to fit whatever language he's speaking, as it does with most multilingual people, but when he's speaking english he's going to have a weird intersection of american/british. now won't be all that noticeable most of the time but i think it would come out on occasion possibly whilst drunk or pissed off about something. ergo i present neil josten yelling "you'd fucking like that, wouldnt you?" at somebody on the court and like half of the team just turn and stare at him for a minute because what the fuck was that

I haven't read the book yet but I'm still it revolves around Andrew.

AFTG is a very good example of narrator bias, because if we didn’t get a book from Jean and Jeremy’s POVs we would have no way of knowing the world does not actually in fact revolve around one Andrew Minyard

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

see I agree I need to see this played out in person like get me on a court with 8 other people to play a fake sport that's just took up my life

If I ever meet 8+ people who have read AFTG and are just as obsessed with it, I'm gonna find an abandoned basketball court and we're going to play mini Exy with whatever we can, okay? I want to see how it would function in real life. I want to see how much skill these people have. I mean, I need to know how good Andrew is that he blocks almost every goal and Kevin can play with a bad hand and scores like it's no one's business and Neil just gets past his marks and scores like. How. I gotta know.

I'm a hands on learner what can I say?

why is applying to jobs so fucking nerve-wracking like why can't it be as easy as it was when my parents were kids where you just went and handed in a paper cv and got the job on the spot

alright guys back here again I'm on page 42 of tfc on chapter 3 have I picked up the kindle since I got to this page like probs about a week and a half ago no I haven't cuz I know like big events aka the edens scene neil hitchhiking back uhhh seths death the banquet those are the scenes I fully remember do i want to finish the book yes obviously do I have the mental stability to get past chapter three no ii don't am I doing this so I don't have to read the 2nd and 3rd books yes I am so yeah idk what the fuck to do at this point but I will probably still talk about aftg and other things like the cherrycrush webtoon and sbg webtoon but yeah

so I finished chapter 2 liike a day ago havent started chapter 3 but i forgot the first book was 14 chapters like howd i forget that i dont know im trying to prep myself to read the third chapter at some point this week or next week im a slow reader i know it takes me days to finish a book but chapter 2 was great as well neil just figuring out the twins switch is just immaculate i activitly forgot that happens in the book but hey it was great.

ight guys it's time for me to continue my reread of the foxhole court I left off on page 12 because I already know what's gonna happen and shit but along of it from the first two books I've forgotten cuz haven't listened to em since 2018-2019 but you lot bet I listened to the last one multiple times, so what I've read so far the first meet hit scene where Andrew slams a racket into Neil's gut like ugh love the violence also can we talk about Kevin's intro scene cuz "I'm not good enough to play with a champion" and Kevin just like hell yeah you ain't bitch byut he gotta act cool so "true but irrelevant" like he knows he's the shit love him for that will update when I finish chapter one and or finish or get halfway through chapter 2

deciding to just edit this one as I doubt anyone has seen it just but just finished chapter one and my god Neil repeating I'm sorry fucked me uup a bit but Andrews line "too good to play with us, too good to ride with us?" like I adore this fucker and his remarks it's just pure gold.

me out here trying to stay away from all the tsc spoilers because I needed the memes and funny stuff but the tag is trending so I have to stick to all my other fantom tags and say bye too aftg for a bit till all this calms down (who am I kidding I'm not gonna be doing any of that shit)

beiing a dramatic aftg fan is so fun and all but when yiuu only got the first three on kindle to read without using the audio books from like 2018 but your rereadoioing the books so yiuu can't read tsc just yet and your afraid of spoilers

Happy birthday to the best striker there is Neil josten
