#All For The Game

I feel that if Andrew and Neil decided to celebrate the holidays it would be bery chill and they'd only get each other stupid gifts 🎄🎉

It'd be really funny if we ever get a greek trojan. I imagine they have a thick accent and avoid calling Jean by his surname. And at some point maybe Jeremy notices, and greek trojan just goes red and is like "dude, my accent is thick, I can't call him that, it feels weird." And everyone is like "????" And greek trojan explains "bro his surname. It sounds like the greek word for 'baby', I just feel weird calling him Baby". Cat is immediately feral about this, Laila is like "so if we just call him babe, we're technically saying his surname in greek?" Jean exasperated "I'm french", "don't be like that Baby" , queue almost everyone calling him some variation of babe or baby instead of Moreau at some point "Has anyone seen Baby?" "Is Baby coming with you?" "Damn, Baby got moves on the court" Etc. A coach calls him by his surname once and "Coach, he's just Baby". Jeremy's eye twitching every time.

Neil and Andrew reuniting after the Binghampton riot kidnapping

Imagine being Stuart Hatford and thinking for the better part of a decade your sister and her son are dead. Your god damn sister.

And then you learn - surprise! - they were not dead, they were just lying low, but then your sister actually dies and her son's idea of "lying low" is playing college stickball on national television and pissing off both the FBI and the Japanese mafia. Then you finally kill your nephew's psychopath father and reconnect with him only to figure out he's a package deal:

He comes with a murderous boyfriend (because, apparently, in the time he was on the fucking run, a college athlete, and evading the Yakuza's wrath he managed to get one of those) and a traumatized French Boy

You and the traumatized French Bond bond over dead sisters

It all comes full circle

Wymack: Listen up! Exy fans are turning attention away from us. If our personal view count goes down, we are going to start losing rep.

Foxes:

Wymack: So.. Josten, Minyard, you two are on press tonight. I am going to go home after the game and have some vodka for dinner. I don't care what you do, fix the views. I will not be watching or responsible.

Foxes:

Abby:

The Next Day:

Reporter: Exy views at an all time high after a minyard/josten interview scandal! Stay tuned for details.

Wymack, shaking: *turns TV off*

Wymack: They did what I told them... I don't want to know. I don't. Want. To know..

oh? my? god? this is incredible

I’m not entirely sure where I’m going with this, but I really want to talk about how the upperclassmen and the monsters mirror each other. How each member of the monsters has a counterpart in the upperclassmen, someone with a similar backstory and similar motivations and goals, but with certain crucial differences that serve to highlight all the character development that happens throughout the books.

For instance, there’s Andrew and Renee: both foster children with harsh pasts who murdered and feel no remorse for it, but forced to face the consequences regardless. Andrew is left with a brother who can’t forgive him; Renee has to deal with the knowledge that she’ll never be the good person she wants to be. They have the same fighting style - defensive, reactive, but knowing that the only way to win is to stop your opponent from ever hurting you again; they both play goalie because they’re both best when they stand at everyone else’s backs and prevent anything from getting past them. There’s a reason Andrew charges Renee with protecting her half of the team, and not Dan, the official leader; where Dan is focused on moving forward and charging down the opposition, Renee and Andrew are about making sure everyone under their wing survives.

Then there’s Dan and Kevin, the team leaders (one official, one unofficial), a striker and an offensive dealer/occasional striker sub, #1 and #2. They’ve both been pushed down and shoved aside, marked as second-best or second-rate, and they both refuse to let that stop them. They both fight because they don’t know how to lose, because they can’t know how to lose, and they expect the same from everybody else. Kevin won’t accept anything but the best because that’s what he’s been taught, that’s the only way he knows how to live; Dan knows that anything less than perfection gives everyone else the right to stomp all over you, and is determined to never let that happen again. (And then there’s the fact that they both see Wymack as a father).

"Minyards don't get any higher than rock bottom." Aaron said, but the Mackenzie-Minyards became doctors at the top of their respective fields and the Minyard-Jostens became household names after their first Olympics.

Some things about Nora choosing to use the significance of names that leaves me with lots of thoughts :

- Neil/Nathaniel dichotomy

- Neil’s long list of names from life on the run

- Andrew Doe

- Kevin Day (using his mother’s last name and what that might’ve meant in the patriarchal environment that is the Moriyamas)

- Renee Walker vs Natalie Shields

- Jean-Yves

- Jeremy Knox (his father’s last name while there appears to be a strained relationship there and with his stepfather) (Knox = Nox, Roman goddess of night vs the sunshine boy stereotype)

- Nicky instead of Nicholas
