you know what’s painful? before the final match against the ravens when neil says that he can see how much matt loves his mom and that “sometimes he was still surprised at how blatantly that love was returned”
like??
mary did her best to keep neil alive and they had a complicated relationship but, ultimately, neil loved her
this quote hurts though, because neil obviously didn’t really get that love reciprocated - yes, in her own way, mary loved him and tried to keep him safe and as happy as possible given the circumstances, but overall his life on the run was full of pain and fear and his mom added to that
so of course it’s weird for him to see randy love matt so fiercely and so openly, but my heart still aches for him
the foxes love neil bc he’s like a lil stray that they feel like they need to take care of half the time and are terrified of the other half, but like... he’s such a Bitch™ to literally everyone else. not even just his considerable amount of enemies but... the cheerleader that he shot down, bee, basically every exy player that isn’t on his team, the doctor in baltimore, etc etc etc. i love him for it, but i also know that if i met him irl he would tear me to shreds
Guys this isn’t an aftg account BUT I can perfectly sum up Andrew and Neil in two quotes from my kids at work
Andrew: “Congratulations, you’re a liar. “
Neil: “My favourite colour is none of your business.”
hola me amiga, back again to ask: tilda minyard and her relationship to both of the twins. thoughts?
hello again!
(cw: abusive parent-child relationship, tilda, twinyards’ pasts)
oh boy. tilda. she is one character that i just. hate. i don’t hate her for putting the twinyards into foster care. i don’t even hate her for only taking aaron back, bc while it’s heartbreaking all around... she couldn’t handle two kids, which is devastating but fair. not telling aaron about andrew was pretty shitty, but again, she couldn’t handle two and aaron would’ve wanted to reunite, so keeping him a secret was maybe what she thought was the least painful.
but god. i hate her so much.
she was neglectful of aaron his whole childhood and made him feel like a burden. he still loved her, bc kids want to love their parents so desperately. and in return he was met with snarls and insults and silent hatred. the kind where a person can channel their hate as they’re washing dishes roughly or clenching they’re jaw while watching tv. the kind that festers around you and makes the entire environment stifling and toxic.
and then andrew. i don’t think andrew had it in him any more to care that he was abandoned. the fact that tilda abandoned him and kept aaron may have stung slightly, but ultimately, he would’ve shoved that down as just another shitty thing in his shitty life and moved on.
however.
tilda started to become violent when higgins told them about andrew. she’d been abusive the whole time, but now it was physical as well. and there’s no way aaron didn’t associate that negativity with andrew, even only subconsciously, before he even met him.
and then andrew was reunited, which tilda had tried to avoid all along. and andrew saw how abusive she was and told aaron he could take care of it, and he did. and aaron despised him for it. because he still loved his mom. because he was still so desperate for the love that came out in fractured fractions from time to time.
tilda is, ultimately, why the twinyards have such a shitty relationship. she’s the reason aaron had such a shitty childhood. (i don’t think it’s 100% fair to blame all of andrew’s on her, because while she is why he’s there, she wasn’t the actual abuser for him. she doesn’t haunt his nightmares).
tilda shattered the twinyards and did nothing to put them back together. and i will never forgive her for it.
ramble to me about skam france s3 au and witchcraft andreil. plot, what made you want to write them, if there’s a part you’re especially excited to write,, just anything
Thank you for the ask! I'm majorly excited about both of these so here you go!
Skam France S3 Au
This au came about from me and one of my best friends just absolutely losing our shit over the piano scene (found here) and then going oh my god make it Andreil. It just kinda spiraled and it was my first multi-chaptered WIP! I need to rewrite quite a few scenes as most of it is done (there's about 2 chapters left) but I had yet to edit it or really add in the Andreil aspects for most of the early chapters. So it's hopefully close to done? Idk but I would really like it to be the first chaptered fic I post. The piano scene has been written and I still love it very much so I'm excited for everyone to be able to read it! There isn't much plot to explain cause it's kinda just the plot of the season with some changes to fit Andreil in. Oh also, if you want to watch it you can watch the season separate from the first two!
Witchcraft Andreil
Another fic that me and a friend came up with! Unfortunately they are no longer active but I still want to finish it and maybe see if they'll reappear. It's all based on this one textpost that basically goes "disgruntled goth that keeps answering the door like "no I'm not the witch, he lives over there" and pointing across the street to a dazzling pretty boy waving enthusiastically" but make Andrew a plant witch and Neil a necromancer who specializes in pets. So Andrew is just trying to run his little plant shop and help grandma's with their dying gardens and people keep showing up with their dead/dying animals and like what is he supposed to do?? What do you say in that situation? So he just silently points to the obnoxious Necromancer here! sign across the street and resigns himself to the fact that no one cares to read when their pet is dying.
That is until it's Andrew's pet that is dying, as in one of his very loyal pet crows being rushed into the shop in the hands of one redheaded necromancer. Apparently, his cat has an affinity for hunting birds, but he promises he can fix it. And he does, and all is well, so Andrew returns to his plants and his pointing. Until the cat starts to appear in his shop. There's a twist in there somewhere that I obviously will not reveal so I'll just promise to finish it eventually.
andrew “stood with his back to the car, one arm propped on the hood and the other draped along the top of his door” (tkm, ch. 1) and i stg andrew bought a low expensive car simply for the Aesthetic and the Drama, you can’t convince me otherwise
Forehead kisses.

ooo this is fun! my three random facts: i’m on the ace spec, i went to canadian nationals for biathlon, and i have an unhealthy obsession with tangled
i can’t help but wonder how many times mary called neil stupid, given that that’s what he thinks of all his decisions
I love imagining Neil and Andrew like 10 years into their relationship. Like when the ‘nothing’ gets real and they deal with what comes after the honeymoon stage. They’re 30 something and like:
Neil: *suggestively stretching in front of andrew* wanna rinse of with me? I’m a little sweaty after my run…
Andrew: *spoon deep into a pint of Ben and Jerry’s*. Give me a minute
Neil: the ice cream will still be there later….
Andrew: so will you…
Neil: are you fucking serious ?
Andrew: *keeps looking between Neil and his pint* I’m thinking!
it’s so wild that nicky and aaron could understand everything neil and andrew were saying to each other during the baltimore reunion scene, all the easy conversation and percentages and references to past comments, and they STILL had the absolute audacity to appear surprised when allison pointed out andreil’s not-a-thing relationship like-
