Andrew's Sense Of Humor Is Greatly Underrated Imo

(They all have the same buses, so this is perfect for fanfic reference purposes js👀)

Vessel’s little “whoop”s gives me life. It brings him closer to human in my eyes. It does so much for the song. I love everything about this song so much.

Someone on here said that Vessel played the sheet music that was just released (or some version of the sheet music anyway) during the intro to Rain at one show. I found a video on Tiktok of it and wanted to share it here!

Gentle hands and harsh words

nobody knows what that does to me

words don’t leave marks

at least not that others can see

he holds me soft while tearing me down

no bruises on my body

but his words were crafted to cut

his hands are soft

kinder than any others have ever been

i’m told to accept the lesser of evils

the man hitting me with words instead of fists

why should i have to settle

is there no life without bearing the judgment of a man who will never truly love me

i am not a doll to be dressed up and played with

my soul means nothing to men

i will keep it for myself

i will hold myself with a reverence that no man can know

i will speak of myself with a love no man will ever feel

gentle hands mean nothing when they are a scheme to create obedience

obedience is an evil that will never know me

i will not obey a man who believes he owns me

no man is entitled to my body or my mind

i own myself

and i hope any who say otherwise suffer until they die

Andrew has figured out the best way to stop a fight on the court.

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.

Official countdown has begun.
