I love this scene SO much

[knox-knocks]

so maybe the gay mafia sports book changed my life. so what.

[knox-knocks]

they were worth every cut and bruise and scream.

andreil gets so much funnier when you realize they are the guy everyone thought was clinically insane but is actually just a weird kidTM, and the guy everyone thought was a weird kidTM that is actually clinically insane

Looks like Neil’s not the only one who needs to get his staring problem fixed :/

(Also I am taking this as an opportunity to share my Headcanon that Andrew and Aaron both have a lot of acne/acne scars. I have no reason for it other that that’s just how I pictured them the first time I read the books🤷‍♂️)

[knox-knocks]

I can't believe it's been over a year since I last drew them together properly (respectfully looking away from the failed attempt to draw the temple kiss scene, but I'll get back to you🫵🏻🫵🏻)

all i’m saying is andrew minyard is a LOVERBOY at his core

[knox-knocks]

cannot get over how canonically hot jean is. he’s french, 6’2” with an athletic build, and has a previously broken nose. black hair and gray eyes and an accent to die for. knows three languages. rides a motorcycle. cooks and cleans and enjoys it. would kill for the people he cares about. isn’t afraid to get rude but also gets weak in the knees the second that you’re kind to him. my god he’s so effing hot.

andreil heard “crush” by ethel cain and decided to make it everyone’s problem

adult twinyards where in order to bond they have very serious very important hang out appointments, 4 times of the year (bee’s idea, one hang out for every season), where they just try things until they find a “relaxing hobby” to do together, but it escalates into them trying to piss each other off by choosing weird shit. so far they’ve tried:

- ceramics (aaron’s lack of artistic abilities made this one very stressful for him, he just wanted to make a mug for katelyn, it ended up very deformed with a badly painted flower, she loved it anyway. andrew was actually kind of good at it, but hated the texture of dry ceramic paint. he made a mug with a little queen chess piece for kevin and a plate with an orange fox paw for neil) bee’s first suggestion.

- shooting range (aaron was actually really good at it, but he hates the feeling of aggression it caused on him and barely spoke the whole time bc of it, andrew was amused for the first 40 minutes but didn’t like how noisy the whole affair was, he is more of a knife guy anyway) aaron’s first (and only) sincere suggestion

- going to the movies. andrew’s turn to pick, but it was a holiday weekend and everything else was closed. They watched captain america: the winter soldier (they both enjoyed the movie, the first words out of aaron’s mouth when it ended were: “that was kind of…..gay, right?” and andrew was like “yeah.” they had pizza after.

- cat cafe. andrew sent a pic of the cat him and neil bullied kevin into letting them adopt, so aaron thought it would be funny taking andrew to a cat cafe (they both had a good time playing with the cats and eating pastries, this is where they started to develop their joint hater slay, bc aaron made enemies during his first month of residency at the hospital and didn’t want to stress katelyn out about it so he just spends 2 hours shit talking pretty much everyone in the hospital to andrew’s delight).

- going to the Maserati building/american headquarters (?) to discuss a sponsorship deal they were offering andrew (not a real hang out, but they had sooooo much fun annoying executive and making stupid demands, andrew sign the contract only after they added a clause that whatever car andrew gets out of has to have a bunch of modifications for someone who is 5’0 foot tall, with an ashtray, but no dashboard lighter, a specific safe place for a pet carrier and other stuff like that and also aaron also gets one) not a real hang out, but aaron got a fancy car out of it so he won’t complain. (also, andrew’s publicist was there and she came out of it traumatized)

meanwhile neil, kevin and katelyn have a group hat to share whatever weird pictures they receive from their significant others during those hang outs.

this is a book series that will have you rocking back and forth and ripping your hair out and bashing your skull into a wall but then you have to look someone directly in the eyes and say yeah it’s about a fake sport with fake drugs and also the yakuza is involved

Matt was the first one to make a promise to Neil, that he would protect him from the monsters until graduation. He gets Kevin off Neil during their first fight in the dorm. He protects Neil's things when Neil calls from Columbia. He waits up for Neil to come back from the first night practice with Kevin just to make sure he is unharmed. He saved Neil from Riko during the banquet since Andrew had his hands full with Kevin. I can keep going but my point is Matthew Boyd does not get enough love from this fandom!!!

jeremy’s boyfriend privileges are gonna know no bounds. to the point where everyone’s gonna be envious. like jean’s gonna eviserate the rest of the team on court but no notes for jeremy, he’s doing perfect. the only person jean posts on social media. the only one jean will willingly call for hours and text everyday. jeremy has a monopoly on all of jean’s kisses and hugs and cuddles and touches. when jean’s cooking, he’ll make sure to not add anything that jeremy doesn’t like to eat. jeremy can wear his clothes and use his locker and drink from his water bottle. jeremy’s spot in every room is jean’s lap. jean will walk jeremy to class and wait for him until he’s done. jeremy can kiss his knuckles and his forehead and his palm and his fingers and his eyelids with no repercussions. jeremy can fall asleep on his shoulder on the bus or with his head in his lap on the sofa and jean will just lightly run his hands thru his hair. jeremy will ask for something and jean will say yes, no questions asked. jeremy says please lets take a break from practice and exy and go to the beach and jean is like. ok. get in the car lets go. someone else suggests the beach and jean is like if you spent half as much time on the court as you did on the beach then maybe you’d be better at exy. the passenger seat of his motorcycle is reserved for jeremy and jeremy only. jeremy can tug at his pinky or brush his hair away from his face or put a hand at the small of his back and jean will lean into the touch. anyone else who tries any of these things is given a glare and an expertly worded, extra descriptive insult. he’s soft with jeremy in a way he isn’t with other people and they’ll finally see how tender and gentle jean moreau is with the things he loves.

(and honourable mention to catlaila bc they 10000% have bestie privileges)

Dan attempting team bonding with the freshmen that turns into a drinking game of never have I ever to try to help the original Foxes and the freshmen find commonalities.

It almost immediately devolves into pointed pettiness.

One of the freshmen, being a little shit, smiles at Aaron while saying, "Never have I ever killed anyone."

The freshmen laugh, rubbing salt in the wound of Aaron's recent murder trial.

The laughter stops when Aaron, Andrew, Neil, and Renee (soda) all drink without missing a beat.

The freshmen look around at the upperclassmen nervously as they realize there are 3 more murderers than they expected in the room.

The freshmen do not sleep easy that night.

This part-

They ruined me forever

I still haven't finished the third book but I needed to draw that scene
