THE FOXHOLE COURT BONUS CHAPTERS SPOILERS BELOW

[wilhelminyard]

andrew's sense of humor is greatly underrated imo

like this moment was objectively hilarious

"if you're going to play dealer who do we have in goal second half?"

wymack looked at andrew. andrew looked over his shoulder as if checking for a third goalkeeper.

[allfor-thegames]

there's something very funny about wymack recruiting neil and seeing him as this jumpy, cagey asf kid with alarmingly absent parents and then watching him befriend the monsters, speak three languages, start fights with riko moriyama, be incredibly apathetic to violence, join the perfect court and reveal that he uses alcohol as pain reliever because it's too dangerous for him to go to a hospital, unite the team and fall in love with wymack's other problem child, all for him to turn out to be the son of kengo moriyama's right hand man.

[mauvemischief]

Ok wait but can we talk about how awkward Wymack probably felt during the Andreil scene in the hotel room??? Like nora had our man CHAINED TO ANDREW while they had THE Andreil moment and he was just like ‘yup, handcuffed to one of the problem children while he confesses his love to my other arguably more problematic problem child mhm just a day in the life’

[two-longing-loves]

wymack watching neil put andrews hand inside his shirt in a room full of people:

[hamrikaa]

'"You're a Fox," Andrew said, like it was that simple, and maybe it was.'

I could've added a lot more details to this and it's not 100% accurate to the book, but I had to stop myself or this would've taken me another week to finish lmao

[feelingthedisaster]

okay but kevin giving andrew a reason to live, making jean promise he wouldnt kill himself and whatever he had going on with neil? lowkey wymack coded

[faithless-hoaxx]

Wymack's "[The school board] told me to call them as soon as you’ve returned. . . Have you returned?" to Neil and Neil's "We have to deal with this today, but we might not have to deal with it right now. What do you need?" to Jean are the same words in different fonts and that fact lives rent-free in my head

Like father, like son

the year is 2006. you’re an avid fan of collegiate exy. kevin day recently transferred from the best team in the league to the worst after breaking his hand in a skiing accident. before the season starts, janie smalls attempts suicide. she’s a fox, so absolutely no one is surprised by this. however, this means that david wymack has to find a new striker. he picks up a neglected, unremarkable kid from millport. for some reason, this mysterious nobody thinks it’s okay to publicly humiliate riko moriyama, king of exy. apparently, neil josten and kevin day talk shit about riko all the time (this confuses you. kevin and riko are supposed to be best friends). not long after, seth gordon dies of an overdose. once again, it’s the foxes, so no one should be surprised, but something is… off. seth was clean, and it didn’t seem likely for him to throw it away. the foxes don’t get anyone to replace him. despite being short a player, they’re performing better than ever before. you don’t want to admit it, but neil josten can probably be credited with a lot of the foxes success. and something is off about that kid, too. he’s a 5’3 brunette with brown eyes, and then suddenly he’s not. he comes back from winter break with red hair and blue eyes, but more interesting than that is the number four tattooed onto his face, marked for the ravens, marked for the perfect court. the normal minyard twin murders someone in cold blood. neil josten is actually nathaniel wesninski. his father, the butcher of baltimore, tortures him and burns his tattoo off. the trojans throw away their shot at winning. kevin covers up his tattoo with a queen chess piece. he’s never been skiing, the theories behind what happened to his hand are endless. jean moreau transfers to the trojans. this isn’t helping with the abuse allegations. despite everything stacked against them, the foxes beat the ravens. the unhinged minyard twin shatters riko’s hand to stop him from murdering the mafia kid on live tv. for some reason, this is riko’s final straw and he kills himself. some people are blaming kevin, andrew, and neil, but you personally believe that it’s a tad bit dramatic to commit suicide after losing one game and breaking a hand. the rest of the ravens don’t seem to agree, as they’re all suddenly in the most fucked up game of “follow the leader” known to man. jean moreau is spotted being escorted from the foxes dorm room a bloody mess, but that’s only the beginning. one of the ravens stabs himself with a letter opener, another steps onto the subway tracks, and a third overdoses. it’s 2007, and you started saying that the ravens were in a cult as a joke, but you don’t know if it’s a joke anymore. you’re seriously starting to consider that your favorite sport was created solely as a front for the mafia

"why does Wymack have trible tattoos?" It was 2006. "Why is Allison wearing six inch rainbow heels?" It was 2006. "Why does Nicky act that like?" It was 2006. "I can't believe they use slurs like that" It was 2006. "Why did Jeremy have a yo-yo?" It was 2007. "Why do they have a papasan chair?" It was 2007. I promise you most of your Why Did This Thing Happen questions can be answered simply by "it was 2006/7"

[nevermind-i-dont-wanna-know]

We all know Wymack would have easily accepted Jean as one of his players and I have no doubt that he already considers Jean one of his kids. But like, you can’t tell me that man didn’t almost fall to his knees in relief after realizing he won’t have to deal with the PR nightmare that would have been Jean and Neil doing press duty (and Kevin “I’ve never been skiing” Day) Like he’s been exposed to Jeans sass and I just know that man sent the Trojans coaches a nice bottle of liquor each with a note that just says thoughts and prayers

neil: *gets a papercut*

matt, yelling up at God: HASN'T HE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH?!

[wilhelminyard]

wymack giving kevin a safe place. kevin giving andrew a purpose. andrew giving neil a home. neil giving wymack headaches. gotta love a full circle moment

[lily-s-world]

Wymack was ready to propose to Kayleigh, but choose to leave to not overstep Kayleigh boundaries. Wymack called Kayleigh to know if Kevin was his and was ready to be a dad, but she said no so Wymack let it go. He sees Kayleigh everytime he looks at Kevin.

Betsy developed an unnoticed way to call Andrew's attention when he is going anxious and trying to hurt himself. That way he stops and nobody notices.

Andrew accepted joining PSU because it was Aaron's opportunity to study medicine and became the doctor their mother couldn't believe he could be.

Aaron was able to see through Andrew's denial about his feelings for Neil. Because he knew his brother ticks, expressions and mannerisms better than he let it show.

[operose-art]

"In eight years on the run, Neil had been through sixteen countries and twenty-two name."

[that-vampire-loser]

Unpopular Opinion but Andrew sees Wymack as more of a parental figure than Betsy.

Hear me out. He crashes on his couch, talks to him about Neil, stays over at his place all the time. He stays there the weekend after Higgins call.

Obviously he cares about Betsy, and she is his mother figure and friend but I think wymack is his go to when he just needs to decompress
