I Have So Many Emotions About One Riko Moriyama, Because On One Hand I Hate Him So Much But In The Other

honestly, what a power-move for neil to be an absolute asshole to the feds and get his way because of it. like damn, yes, let them know that you know how vital you are to their case. speak a different language so that they can’t understand you. call them out on their lies. insult them. go off my guy, that’s what we like to see

(and also shoutout to the rest of the foxes for refusing to tell the feds anything because they said they couldn’t see neil. this is the friendship neil deserves. this is the family that he didn’t dare to dream for. iconic)

do you think andrew knew his birthday when he was in foster care? tilda didn’t even leave him with a last name - did she leave his birthday? or did he grow up with a random estimation? was aaron the one that told andrew what day they were born? is part of the reason he doesn’t bother celebrating because he just never knew what day to celebrate before and he wasn’t going to start that late in his life?

aftg but it's videos i edited badly on my phone

no, you’re a person, i’m merely a vessel filled with the overwhelming urge to reread all for the game

What Donuts Each Fox Would Order

(and how they would annoy me as a customer)

from a sleep-deprived donut shop worker

Neil: our summer specialty of a glazed ring sliced in half with whipped cream and strawberries, but he still asks for it in the fall and we have to look him in the eye and tell him strawberries are out of season in December

Andrew: a donut of my own making! a glazed ring with crosshatched caramel drizzle. it's truly the most delicious donut on this earth and I will make it for myself but if a customer ordered it I would cry cause it takes so long to heat up the caramel and idk how to price it

Matt: a peanut butter triangle, but in the drive-thru at 1:30pm (we close at 2) and when I say we're out he just looks very sad and drives away (this doesn't annoy me it just makes me sad)

Dan: blueberry buttermilk, but she asked me if it was blueberry despite it saying it is in large text and then took 30 seconds of staring to say "yeah I'll take it"

Kevin: a plain old-fashioned (no glaze), but actually we're out already and he asks if I can just go make him one then

Nicky: a half-dozen filled donuts, but it's 5:01am and I just got there and opened the drive-thru, hence the donuts are not yet filled, when I tell him I'll need to fill them he asks how long it will take

Aaron: cream cheese cinnamon roll, but he would order it after 10:30am so I would have to go in the back and frost it for him despite the fact that I already frosted a bunch that morning

Allison: white cake, chocolate frosting, but in the drive-thru and she just says "a white cake donut" so I have to ask if she wants chocolate, vanilla, maple w nuts, cherry, or cookies and cream frosting and she looks mad when there are so many options and then just says "chocolate is fine"

Renee: 2 chocolate bars, but she is so gd nice it takes so long to get to her order and every time she asks my name and then says how beautiful it is. it always makes me happy but also like ma'am this is a donut shop drive-thru. once told me the meaning of my mom's name after asking. always says god bless you before driving away

creed from the office would be neil in the future if he’d never signed with the foxes

i can’t help but wonder how many times mary called neil stupid, given that that’s what he thinks of all his decisions

hold on, so the moment Neil says “do it” when Betsy’s trying to convince the everyone to have Andrew go off his medication, that’s the first time in the whole series he’s put someone/something before Exy, including himself *screams*

Doesn’t even consider for a second how that will affect the Exy season, just immediately does what he can to make it happen because he needs so badly for Andrew to be better or at least have a chance at being better, even when it might mean Neil loses out on the one thing he has been holding onto (insert Nicky’s speech about how Exy can’t love you back and you need someone to hold onto, this shows how Neil has been holding onto Andrew and how much that has changed his priorities).

aftg hc of the day: neil is completely horrified by root beer floats. milk and soda should not come in contact under any circumstances. this is completely unknown to andrew until a night at the columbia house. andrew loves them, would eat them any time of any day, and happened to make a stop at the store on the way. of course neil is in the kitchen with him, distractedly messing with things here and there, until andrew starts pouring root beer into a glass. with ice cream. andrew of course notices the pure horror on neils face. neil manages something along the lines of 'are you possessed' which starts the absolute shenanigans of andrew trying to get neil to drink one. the next time the two of them are out, andrew gets one. problem being neil is gone before he's done ordering. the entire time they walk together neil is at least five feet away from him until he throws it in the trash. the next time they're out for dinner, and neil literally waits in the bathroom until andrews done with it. next time it's at their shared apartment, later on with the cats, and andrew has the fucking audacity to bring that cursed thing that came straight from the depths of hell into their home. andrew gets up to go to the bathroom and neil tosses it in the trash, glass included. the last time is in a costco. andrew foolishly thinks neil will keep some composure, only to find neil and the cart missing. it takes him ten minutes to find him again, busily loading cat food into the cart. they make eye contact mid sip, and andrew very simply says 'youre being dramatic.' but instead of a usual smart-ass response, neil replies 'im sorry, do i know you?' unfortunately, andrew makes the mistake of thinking neils making a quick joke. he's not. which leads to andrew literally following neil around for 30 minutes like something out of a horror movie while neil avoids and runs away from him at every bit eye contact. when andrew finally finishes the drink neil just asks 'oh where have you been?' the very final time is planned very strategically (white board and cats included). neil is busy while andrew orders his root beer float, making sure it's in a completely opaque cup. he tells neil it's iced coffee. neil literally acts like he's been shot. he's never been betrayed like that before, and has taken a drink of anything andrew has offered him since (unless it's in a clear cup and/or thoroughly inspected)
