I think about how much of a yapper Andrew was to literally everyone while on his medication but off his medication he barely speaks at all

[araven-and-afox]

Jean @ Jeremy in TSC: You are so sunshiney and it makes me nervous. I don’t know how to accept this affection.

Andrew @ Neil in AFTG: You are the craziest motherfucker I’ve ever met and I’m obsessed with your dumb ass

one thing about jean moreau is that he will always fall in love with people that give him even one ray of sunshine … kevin , the one that made all his days at the nest even a little bearable , renee , who saved him , who let him see the sun again , who taught him how to live , and jeremy , literally the sunshine boy of california … jean moreau you’re not slick

hands down the funniest scene in the king's men is when neil is like "what do i have to do to get you to play exy without actively attempting to injure people" and andrew, lazer fucking focused responds with "take off your shirt" like MY MAN. YOU ARE NOT SUBTLE

Forever home(always you)

david wymack is such a fierce protector. he loves so deeply and so unconditionally it makes me wanna cry.

like he had just met neil when he said "you need one of us to talk to your parents? are they the ones who hurt you? [...] if your parents are a problem for you, we'll move you to south carolina early."

and he offered him his couch. and then he told him "foxes are foxes for a reason and they know we wouldn't sign you if you didn't qualify. that doesn't mean they know the specifics. it's not my place to ask and I'm sure as hell not going to tell them. did you think I made the team the way it is because I thought it would be a good publicity stunt? it's about second chances, neil. second, third, fourth, whatever, as long as you get at least one more than what anyone else wanted to give you."

he barely knew jean when he told him "your so called master and that bitch of a nephew of his. kevin told us the truth when he transferred so we'd know what we were getting into. I know you think you have to go back to evermore and I know what's waiting for you there. I will burn this house down before I let him touch you again."

and let's not forget about "wymack didn’t care if he had nine foxes or twenty-five. he’d stand behind them until the bitter, bloody end."

and how he usually drives the bus himself because "it was apparently better to be uncomfortable but safe than to trust a stranger with his fractured team."

david wymack dedicated his life to showing kids who were dealt a shit hand in life that they can still play their cards right. I heard somewhere once that sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts and I thought it was a little corny but oh does it apply to someone like david wymack. he gave each of the foxes their own miracles. I know he is a fictional character but he just has the biggest heart and honestly he makes me want to have faith in humanity.

Fans making a youtube video with the title:

"Neil josten when Andrew"

and it's like:

*reporter: Neil Josten! people say Andrew m-

Neil: nope, imma stop u right there. you bring Andrew up again and we're having a big problem here. I'm tired of your never ending self made drama about my teammates.

*reporter, Again: Neil Josten! there has been rumors about your current goalie Andr-

Neil: there has been rumors about your mother as well, actually! people say his son doesn't have a better job to do than making a shit amount of money out of people's private life.

*camera on Neil staring at Andrew in a middle of a warm up before a match.

*camera on Kevin talking to Neil, Neil literally zoning out, then turning his head around and looking for something. kevin sighs, then points toward Andrew in the corner. Neil's face lighting up

*camera on Neil looking at Andrew in the goal when he's standing out for the game and doing a "Andrew smile" soft and proud and literally heart eyes.

*camera on Neil punching a stricker for shoving Aaron.

*camera on Neil turning toward Andrew everytime he scores.

*more Neil staring at Andrew

*another stricker yells something at Andrew mid game,

Neil punching the guy in the guts, twice, walking toward the referrer, snatching a red card before the referrer could even offer it, and punching the stricker dude twice more

*reporter: Neil josten, your goalie Minyard did an excellent performance at this game, do-

Neil: OH MY GOD, RIGHT????? like, wow that was amazing. he is amazing. I've been obsessed with exy since i was a kid, and I've seen really, really great things in exy, but this? that defense? that was the greatest thing I've ever seen. he didn't let a single goal in. like-*endless yapping*

*reporter: Neil josten, how's playing with Minyard?

Neil: good, he keeps me on my knees.

Neil:....

Neil: TOES. HE KEEPS ME ON MY TOES.

*Camera on Neil laughing so hard at something Andrew said with complete deadpan

*a tweet that says "i wish Andrew Minyard would bench press me" and has a "liked by Neil josten" above it.

*Camera on Neil threatening a nurse at the hospital to let her see Andrew, who was hurt mid game.

then again, camera on Neil shouting "ok then I'm buying the fucking hospital"

*Camera on Wymack trying to prevent Neil from buying the hospital

*Foxes on tv in a quiz show, camera on Neil taking Andrew's coffee mug, taking a sip, put two sugar cubes in it, blowing it a bit to cool down then handing it to Andrew and turning to the host: excuse me what were you saying?

i feel like we don't talk abt this part of the ec enough bc CAN WE JUST. TALK ABOUT HOW ANDREW EQUATES HIS AND NEIL'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WYMACK AND ABBY'S. LIKE. CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT. BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT IT EVERY DAY. EVERY. DAY.

[araven-and-afox]

There is absolutely a game where Neil gets slammed into the wall and it dislocates his shoulder, except that the force at which he then hits the court floor is so much that he cleanly gets it popped back in and then he's up like a shot as if nothing happened and all the foxes are just :O and Neil is like :|

And Andrew is in goal just pointing to the court doors with his racket just >:| and Neil slinks out to let Abby look at his shoulder.

They are the stars I draw around my scars 🧡

[araven-and-afox]

after baltimore the night the foxes all sleep together the only one who actually slept was neil, and that was due to exhaustion

matt and dan unknowingly agreed to take turns, they knew they were safe but there still was that voice in the back of their minds whispering that anyone could barge into the room at any moment and hurt them

nicky and aaron spent the night staring at the inside of their eyelids replaying the last two days in loop. how did they go from playing a normal exy game to neil being kidnapped and tortured and everything that it unveiled

renee had her eyes closed, her arms wrapped around allison but her brain wouldn’t let her ignore a single sound or movement happening. her hands never stopped stroking allison’s shoulders that kept jerking awake at each movement or sound

kevin couldn’t stop staring at the ceiling, the deep need of having to drown himself into some sort of alcohol to try to forget everything that happened that night, everything that happened since neil arrived to palmetto, and everything that ever happened really

all of them were kept awake against their will by the awful memories that were starting to settle in their minds

for andrew on the other hand, the mere thought of closing his eyes didn’t even cross his mind. he stayed up all night, allowing his eyes just to shift from neil’s face to his chest to make sure he was still breathing and not hurting too much, to make sure neil wouldn’t disappear again, that no one could possibly lay a single finger on him, or take him away

Hi, can we have cursed/turned into an animal for the prompt game? Idm the characters but want to know what animal you think each of the Foxes would turn into so you can have some creative freedom

hi anon i'm sorry this is probably not what you wanted but i cant think about anything else so:

list of curses i would put on each of the foxes just to see what happens:

kevin: inability to say anything other than praise about his teammates, if he wants to criticise them it has to be done through interpretive dance

upperclassmen (allison, seth, matt, dan, renee): the curse that befalls characters in a musical episode where they have to sing all of their lines (🎶i would say fuck you freak but then you wouldn't know which one i was talking to🎶)

nicky: ariel's curse (gives up her voice to get with a guy named erik)

aaron: curse of girlfriend went on inexplicably long vacation :(

andrew and neil: can read each others minds but it's before they get together so they just go back and forth with 'wtf is wrong with you'

animals they would turn into if they were shapeshifters:

dan - falcon 🦅

kevin - raven phoenix 🐦‍🔥

andrew - lion 🦁

matt - hawk 🦅

aaron - otter 🦦

seth - shark 🦈

allison - the girl bird from Rio whats her name the blue one you know this one🦜 but blue

nicky - peacock 🦚

renee - dove 🕊️

neil - fox, obviously 🦊

(for this section i forgot all animals so i had to scroll through the animal emojis section of my keyboard)

(important note: THERES A WORM 🪱)

animals they would GET turned into by an angry wizard:

all of them become lizards 🦎 except renee who stays human. like the muppets

Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about how in the shower scene, Andrew took off his armbands. He wasn’t scared of getting them wet or anything; he was literally wearing the rest of his clothes, but he knew that he was seeing Neil’s scars so he let Neil see his

[araven-and-afox]

The cousins finding out about Neil speaking German would’ve been funnier if they were just in the middle of having a conversation in German and Neil butted in because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut
