#INTERACTIONS — andrew minyard.

Neil promised Andrew ANYTHING as long as he closed off the goal and Andrew asked him to take his shirt off - the closet is fucking glass

[jeanmoreaue]

Aaron and Neil beef will always be funny to me Neil’s like ya im in love with your identical twin brother he means more to me than life itself, but you piss me off fr

The foxes are maybe the most interesting iteration of the found family trope I've ever seen. They love each other. They hate each other. They spend half their time fighting. They literally hide behind each other when threatened. They call each other slurs. They're all gay and date each other. They're mentally ill and traumatised. They're so problematic it's ridiculous. Canonically three of them are murderers. They have a massive sleepover where they all snuggle together .Some of them have about two lines of dialogue together. What the fuck

more Andrew Minyard 🧍‍♂️

I hurt my feelings while writing this daylight savings prompt by realizing that there is exactly one other person in the world who can understand the depth of Kevin's betrayal in TKM.

there is ONE other person on the team who knows what it's like to make a deal with Andrew, for whom deals are sacred, and watch him break it for the butcher's son.

that person is Aaron.

THE RAVEN KING EXTRA CONTENT SPOILERS

"Everyone knows now, Bee.”

"They will not judge you for it," she said with quiet surety. 

"Who fears the monster that knows the taste of a whip?' Andrew asked. 

"Maybe it's past time to put the monster away," Betsy said. "You could be their friend, their cousin, their brother. Don't you think you deserve that?" 

I AM SO UNWELL

there are so many thoughts i have about the short stories that i'm too sick to articulate but one thing that i want to say right now is:

he clocked andrew's ass right away, like there's no way he's talking about someone else

[idkimtiredanddumb]

No because Neil is SUCH. An unreliable narrator but he’s also so convincing and also like confused and missing all these social cues and clues but like I am too??? It’s so easy to get swept up in his head The first time I read aftg I was just nodding along how does he make every decision he makes (most of which are insane) ??? so??? convincingly??? rational??? AND THEN (embarrassingly) the “doesn’t mean I wouldn’t blow you” blew BOTH OF OUR MINDS like upon rereading I was like … that was so terribly obvious and yet. And yet.

[chaoticas-hell]

So Im rereading the part in TRK where the monsters are at Exites and Andrew just subtly admits twice that he basically has a crush on Neil (and has talked about said crush with Bee) and Neil doesn't understand and still continues not to understand until Andrew spells it out for him in TKM

Sometimes I think about exactly what it means for the Ravens to have wanted Andrew.

They usually get what they want, and although Andrew could certainly deny them, they had plenty of leverage to make their proposal forceful enough that refusal would have a cost he wasn’t willing to pay. And maybe that factored into the men who attacked Nicky or the peculiar court decision relating to Andrew’s drugs but perhaps Kevin had something to do with Andrew not being forced into being a Ravens.

It was Kevin who convinced Riko to look at him as an option and perhaps it was Kevin who realized that to make him perfect court would be a cruelty to him. I know he didn’t keep them out of the goal, but it’s the Ravens, they could have made him into what they wanted and I find it interesting that Andrew’s ‘perfect court’ journey did not amount to more than, according to Jean, Riko mocking Kevin for the better part of a year.

There is no way a goalie who blew his arms out, who could play like that wouldn’t catch Riko’s eye as something he could bring back to hopefully gain approval. But he didn’t. They came back and Riko mocked Kevin for his decision which meant he didn’t see Andrew worth playing dirty to get.

Riko could have used Aaron or Nicky or a litany of other things against him and I wonder if Kevin, after hearing his unwillingness, stepped hard enough on ‘he’s not worth it’ to make machinating a situation in which a ‘yes’ was pried from Andrew not an option.

I know Jean says something like Andrew hadn’t earned Kevin’s determination until later, but Jean wasn’t there. He didn’t go on the trip, he didn’t see what made their final decision into ‘not worth it’ rather than ‘he could be made into something worthy of a number’.

Being proven wrong was probably seen as an unacceptable waste of time and error Kevin had to suffer for, but I occasionally wonder if he looks around at the Foxes, at Neil and Andrew and Aaron and Nicky, and is silently grateful for the consequences of not pushing until something broke because otherwise none of them may have ever had this
