#ANDREW FUCKING MINYARD

[jean-meowreau]

can you imagine trying to villainise a character who, despite the world and the legal system supposed to protect him actively trying to kill him, coming out on top? whose murder charge is killing an abuser? I'm ??? like what the fuck is your damage you cretin

[lightlytoastedcashews]

the biggest thing i took away from the short stories is how much andrew minyard cares about people. he signed onto the foxes to give aaron a chance at college. he went through with the kit to give aaron a legitimate chance at trial. he gave neil the armbands so that he wouldn’t have to look at his scars all the time. he constantly sacrifices himself for others so much so that he ends up harming himself sometimes. andrew minyard, who still gets called heartless when he has one of, if not the biggest, hearts in the series.

i love how fucking freely neil gives his money and how drastically the use of it changed from start to end of the book. like giving away 100$ for a cop out on telling the truth and giving the same guy you were avoiding a stack wad of cash to a buy a cool car a few months later is just. like. maybe the real treasure was the sugar daddy we made along the way.

Wymack: dang I sure am glad I have Kevin to do press duty. Glad I can trust him not to say anything crazy like Neil.

*kevin about to pull I’ve Never Been Skiing*

andrew helping neil shower was so tender i’m crying into my fucking fist. andrew wrapping up neil’s wounds so they wouldn’t hurt in the water. andrew helping him take his clothes off to shower because it caused neil too much pain to pull them all the way off. andrew washing neil’s hair. andrew helping him stand up when he was struggling to balance. and then neil crossing his arms behind andrew’s head to keep him closer, tilting andrew’s face up to kiss him. i’m so fucking soft for them oh my god

[joejhang]

tsc was such a cultural reset bc for so long all we had was neil's (unreliable) narration and some small snippets from the extra content for povs. neil's narrator bias is actually insane and as much as i love him i'm so fucking glad we have jean and jeremy's povs they were so fucking refreshing and not just EXY EXY EXY EXY andrew's eyes andrew's hair EXY EXY EXY EXY EXY EXY homoerotic monologue about kevin day EXY EXY EXY EXY andrew minyard EXY EXY EXY

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

aaron watching andrew be forced to take a medication that will alter his mental state.

aaron seeing all andrew's nervous tics before he takes the first pill. aaron seeing how scared andrew is.

aaron sitting outside the bathroom door while andrew gets sick after trying to get off his meds the first time. when andrew finally comes out into the hall and sees aaron, he just walks right past him. "withdraw sucks doesn't it?" aaron says. "don't talk to me," andrew says back and aaron can't help but hate how tired and defeated andrew sounds.

[notacluedo]

I can’t remember if Andrew ever canonically pulls Neil in by the grating on his helmet but

[kevindaes]

ppl who overemphasize the andreil height difference make no sense to me like. it’s 3 inches and andrew prolly wears his fuck ass platform boots while neil prances around in sneakers so worn out he might as well just be wearing socks. be fr they’re practically eye to eye neil’s just got a complex and points out andrew’s height every other sentence

[sapphoherselz]

which aftg character

[adamsrcnan]

neil telling andrew he wants to be the type of person that would go back for him after spending his life only looking out for himself and not knowing that in another life if he ended up in the nest he'd be the one person that never leaves jean

[kevindavidday]

thinking about neil straight up tossing his phone aside mid-makeout session 'cause he could nooot be bothered about his death sentence countdown. horny brain neil is so important to me

[stardustravens]

It’s strange to see Andrew in extreme-minor-character mode after three books of Neil obsessing over his every move.

Neil & Jean: trauma bonded platonic soulmates Andrew & Jeremy: best blonde buds
