ok so I had a thought I want to run by y’all

so Andrew Minyard is a theater kid. Like he is a musicals enjoyer. I have another post about this, we all know that boy is a would-be thespian (not on stage tho, he’s a tech crew guy for sure). But I started joking to myself that he was doing eight counts in his head when he fights. And memorizes opponents/opposition teams on the court’s playing styles and moves partly through counting their movements and set ups to the eight count pattern (we know his eidetic memory would let him do this). I almost feel like he’d start doing this just to pass the time because he “doesn’t care” and “the game is boring”. (That scene of him opening and closing his locker randomly, imagine if he was finding a beat in it) Then I started thinking, what if he used this in his foster homes? What if he learned the rhythm of each of his abusers steps so he’d know who and when they were coming to his room? What if he memorized the pattern and change of patterns in his foster siblings steps so he’d know if they were in trouble? Would he have heard the same beat of footsteps ignore him too?

did he know it was Drake that night at Luther’s house before he even turned around, because he heard and remembered the rhythmic dance his footsteps made? Did he have time to turn around at all, or did he freeze with the memory of what followed that song? Did the boy known for fighting back, for leaping into the defense, hear the pattern of Drake’s eight count and suddenly he was twelve years old again?

@andrewsleftarmband you asked a question, I started to answer, but in the end there was too much text, that's why it's here.

My headcanons about Foxes as parents and they children

Kevin will definitely struggle with expressing his feelings. He’ll never directly say, “I’m proud of you, you’re doing great,” even if he thinks it. Because of that, his daughter will always try her best, hoping for his praise. She admires him deeply and looks up to his Exy career, even if she doesn’t always understand why her parents act the way they do. She also adores grandpa David, no matter how much he grumbles — and of course, Wymack loves his granddaughter just as fiercely.

Aaron will be strict and a little overprotective, constantly worrying that something could happen to his girls. Thankfully, Kaitlyn is there to calm him down when he goes too far. At the same time, they’ll raise their daughters to be open and honest — their kids will never be afraid to come to them with questions or problems.

Andrew & Neil… there’s been too much chaos in their lives for either of them to imagine bringing a child into it. Neil is haunted by the thought of running with a child in his arms, just like his mother once ran with him. Andrew, meanwhile, hates the idea of noise, mess, and disruption. Cats are fine — they mostly sleep and eat — but kids? Not so much. Still, Andrew doesn’t mind babysitting other people’s children. In fact, Andrew and Neil would be amazing uncles to Aaron’s girls and Kevin’s daughter. Their house would become the “everything is allowed (as long as your dad doesn’t find out)” zone. They’ll stay a childfree couple with a bunch of cats (and maybe one dog who thinks he’s a cat).

Nicky & Erik didn’t originally plan on kids. But after Nicky moved back to Germany, life felt too calm — and he started bugging Erik about adopting. After months of persistence, Erik gave in, and together they adopted. Nicky’s experience raising the twins made him much more patient, and in the end, he became a wonderful father of several kids (with Erik supporting him every step of the way).

Matt & Dan are very active parents, spending as much time as possible with their children. One son is a huge Exy fan like his parents, while the other is more introverted and prefers boxing — just like Randy (Matt’s mom), who happily helps out with the kids whenever she can.

Alison spoils her son — maybe a little too much. She gives him plenty of freedom, and he grows up to be creative… and sometimes a little narcissistic. Still, he loves his mother fiercely and is a total mama’s boy. When he eventually comes out as gay, he’s terrified of telling her — only for Alison to shrug and say something like, “That’s it? I thought you crashed my car or were being blackmailed.”She accepts him without hesitation, unlike her own parents, who never accepted her independence.

Renee will try to be like Stephanie: kind, accepting, but still reasonably strict when needed. It won’t always be easy, but she’ll be a wonderful mother.

OHHHHH no I actually like your thoughts much better, the angst potential is greater than the freak potential in this case.

Imagine, the three of them are all basically besties or something because Kayleigh and tetsuji made the sport and they’re training wymack. I don’t really remember if Nora ever detailed how they all met and what that whole situation was like (I AM DYING TO KNOW) so let’s skip over that and get to the part where they’re spending inordinate amounts of time together.

Okay so Kayleigh was a non monogamous and like a ‘free spirit’ type from what I remember, which is why she and Wymack were never an official thing. Wymack knew this, but loved her anyway, but he never tried to ask her to constrain herself to a relationship with him. Given Kayleigh’s nature, and how close she must have been with tetsuji to invent a LITERAL SPORT with him, she probably got freaky with him at some point (this fact is what led me to think about a threesome). But can you IMAGINE how much that must have hurt Wymack???? Because he definitely knew. If she was getting freaky with him, she was getting freaky with tetsuji, and she must have been really close to that guy to give him custody of Kevin in case of her death (I bet the only reason she didn’t give it to Wymack was because she knew he was the dad and she didn’t want him to know) and that must have hurt my boy Dave to the bone. Classic love triangle, but make it so much more tragic and dramatic. I’m pretty sure tetsuji orchestrated her death too, which is so interesting.

I wonder how the two of them met, and if tetsuji ever actually liked her. Did he ever care for her, or was it all for exy? All for the game even? Did he at first care about her, and then realize that exy had the potential to become an empire? Was she too pure, too good at it, or too sincere for him to make it work? Did her sportsmanship, her everything get in the way of that? Is that why he got rid of her?

She must have been quite the captivating force, to get these two men obsessed with her. And I bet they weren’t the only ones either. Imagine Wymack meeting Kayleigh and immediately being enchanted. Imagine him getting closer to the two of them, close enough to notice when tetsujis motives started shifting. Imagine he notices a change in that man, he sees a new hunger light in his eyes that Kaleigh doesn’t seem to notice. Or maybe she did, and that’s why she was killed.

Idk man I have soooooooo many thoughts about these. I wonder if Wymack suspected tetsuji when she died. If he always has. Do you think that he when she told them she was pregnant, he was terrified the baby would come out half Asian? Do you think that when Kevin came out the spitting image of his mother, he looked for himself there too? Do you think he kept looking as Kevin grew up, far far out of his reach until suddenly he wasn’t? Do you think that after everything comes out, it gives him peace knowing that the only piece of Kayleigh he has left, is also a piece of him? Maybe they were never official, maybe he only had her for a night and loved her quietly after, but whatever they had lives on in Kevin.

I bet tetsuji hates that.

I’m going to stop now, this is getting incoherent 😂

Bestie do you ever wonder if Kayleigh and tetsuji and Wymack were all besties, and by extension, do you ever wonder if they all got freaky together? Tetsuji and Wymack ex-lovers??? Thinkin about the ogs rn

oh bestie. horrendous work 😭 the only canon wymack/tetsuji interaction i recall is when wymack phones him in tsc to say he’s not giving jean back and honestly that is one of my most chewed on scenes because what the fuck do you mean you’re sitting across from a beaten broken child speaking to the man responsible for this as well as for the kid who did this to him. your voice is steady as you talk about this boy like he’s a transaction to the man who abused your son for over a decade. you mention games and college contracts and you don’t explode HOW did he not hang up and instantly punch the doorframe so hard the house fell down. i think tetsuji never targeted wymack specifically because he didn’t want to make it seem like it was a kayleigh thing (it was a kayleigh thing) but UGH. anyway no i think the only interaction they all had before that was like:

where he was just in the corner radiating the kind of hatred you can only radiate towards a friend’s boyfriend you don’t like. Give Me Back My Friend. Bitch. and wymack would be like uhh is your mate good and kayleigh goes oh yeah he’s grand don’t mind him

[andrewsleftarmband]

Andrew being a goal keeper was quite literally the peak of character building in the entire literature history.

wdym he is THE protector of the team during a game? he is THE last line of defense? he has EVERYONE’s back? and he is AMAZING AT IT?!

and not just in the metaphorical sense (although as establish that too) but down to a literal physical level too. like? oh my god of course the character with the best reflexes that won’t let a ball past him is the character that grew up abused and constantly aware of his surroundings. and of courseeee the character that has issues with being touched and struggles to protect himself from abusers is the one wearing the most padding on the court.

nora you own my heart

[andrewsleftarmband]

Bless you!!!!! I’ve been wanting to make one but man I have no idea how. Perhaps I will try to go on a computer, I don’t think I could do that on mobile.

How’s life going bestie??????

How do I make a masterlist? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

oh hey bestie!!! i don’t know if there’s a better way to do it but for mine i just put a bunch of links into my pinned post (pin post button by edit button, links option when u highlight text you’re typing, sorry if patronising i assume u know but didn’t want to be a twat if u didn’t 😭)
