Princess Dew Means So Much To Me. That Boy Gets Everything He Wants And They All Know It And They All

hey friendly reminder that exy is just a coping mechanism for kevin. the same way neil goes on runs so he doesn’t ACTUALLY run away. the same way jean distracts himself with a million different hobbies so he doesn’t have to think about his past.

i’m sick of seeing people talk about “the only thing kevin loved is exy”…untrue. he plays constantly because it’s the only thing he knows HOW to do. playing well was the reason he survived the nest, and it’s the only thing he had left when he finally ran away. he’s strict with neil’s training because for him, it was be great or don’t play at all. the same thing as helping your partner play well so you both succeed. for him, teaching exy is something intimate, almost.

so does he love it? sure, maybe. his mom created it after all. but you can’t look at his relationship with andrew—someone he trusted to keep him safe even though the people he trusted before only ended up hurting him. with neil—who he taught to play well so they could succeed together, even though he knew neil couldn’t stay. with wymack—who’s team he joined and made great so everyone would start giving wymack the appreciation he deserves instead of saying his team is a publicity stunt. with abby—the first (parental?) figure to treat him kindly since his mother died. you can’t look at his relationship with all of them and try to convince me he doesn’t care. not when he stayed and built all of those bonds.

thinking about aaron minyard taking a pharmacology class in med school & getting curious & looking into the experimental medication andrew was put on & finding articles about what it did to the people who took it and how it was deemed unhelpful & searching for any first-hand accounts of what it felt like because he knew he would never get them from andrew (and he would never pry into that, would never dig that up) & talking to katelyn about it because he needs someone to know, needs someone to remind him that it wasn’t his fault and he couldn’t have stopped it, and it can’t be nicky, who would only feel even guiltier than aaron & he gets tickets to andrew’s next game just so he has an excuse to visit him and see him face to face and remind himself that there are no drug-induced smiles anymore

if aftg happened in the 2020s i just know jeremy would make jean make that tiktok to GUY.exe by superfruit where it goes “six feet tall and super strong”

Imagine after ELEVEN YEARS she announces a new spin off series to close out a characters story who was originally supposed to die, and then at 1am on a random Wednesday SAYS SHES WRITING TWO MORE BOOKS AND THEYRE ABOUT KEVIN FUCKING DAY

oh it…

The way his hand is bigger than her entire thigh…I am unwell

Ahh, that guitar intro... then the saxophone outro! ♥︎

Third base is getting stabbed in the stomach and slumping forward with your chin on their shoulder and blood dripping from your mouth

vessel you need to tell me right now it only lists sleep token as the performer can you play the violin just like Eddie Berg from Imminence???? sleep token violincore I love you. Emergence told us who did the saxophone solo but no mention for the violin on Even in Arcadia

Sorry but I'm never going to get over Kevin chewing out the Ravens, revealing that Wymack is his dad, and dropping the "I've never been skiing" bomb on live television in the same interview, and then going "we're all going to die" while hunched over a sink the second he walked off stage. Absolutely hilarious.
