#RIKO ROAST

[inafieldofstarflowers]

I just re-read The Foxhole Court and for the first time I noticed the parallels between Wymack’s speech about Kevin’s time at the nest and THE Riko roast in book 2:

Wymack: “[Tetsuji] raised Kevin to be a star” // Neil: “Being raised as a superstar must’ve been really, really difficult for you”

Wymack: “Kevin isn’t human to them. He’s a project” // Neil: “Always a commodity, never a human being”

Wymack: “He put a lot of time and money into kevin’s development on the court. As far as Tetsuji is concerned, Kevin is valuable property. Any profit Kevin makes is rightfully the Moriyamas’” // Neil: “Not a single person in your family thinking you’re worth a damn off the court”

Wymack: “Kengo and Ichirou mostly keep to New York and couldn’t give a flying fuck what Tetsuji and Riko do” // Neil: “Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time”

In my opinion, this is significant for two main reasons.

First, as Wymack says, “Kevin doesn’t talk about his time at Evermore,” so Neil didn’t get this information from HIM. This is part of why the “Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless Daddy issues all the time” is so funny, because you know Kevin is sitting at that table losing his MIND at being implicated in this, but this speech means those claims are based on something.

Second, and I think more importantly, Neil is turning everything Wymack told him was true of Kevin onto Riko. On the Kathy Ferdinand show, Neil implies that Kevin is better than Riko, and that Riko knows it and is scared of it—“people are finally going to know which one of you is better. They’re going to know how premature [the facial tattoo] was.” In the Riko Roast (TM), he’s continuing to make that insinuation by basically saying “hey, all those things you think about Kevin? All that dehumanization? It’s true for you, too. Only Kevin got out and you’re still there, and we see that and talk shit because of it.” He’s not just knocking Riko down, he’s building Kevin up while he does it, because in this scenario, Kevin is one of the people on the outside seeing how pitiful Riko is, while Riko is just a guy everyone thinks is annoying, and who should just shut up.

My biggest flex is that I have memorized the entire Riko roast, and when all for the game gets turned into an anime I will be able to recite it as monologue for theatre.

hey, I said please, I tried to be nice!!!

[kevinmonth]

i know this is probably common knowledge but i had completely forgotten that the riko roast happens after riko insults neils mother. like up until then neil is trying to hold himself back, admittedly not very well but he's trying. then riko calls his mother a coward and he loses it

Andrew’s vows:

You know, I’ll admit it.

Meeting a blue eyed, sharp tongued menace was really difficult on me. You were always running, never telling the truth. Not a single person knowing a damn thing about you. Yeah. It was rough. Thinking about you all the time, worrying about you all the time, caring about you all the time. And I know it’s not entirely your fault that we are both mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of affection. And I know you’re physically incapable of holding a conversation with anyone that doesn’t include exy. But I love you more than any other human being can. And I don’t think I could deal with a single day without your bullshit.

[olly-olly-octopus]

fuck andrew minyard hes such a cunt

u know. i get it. being raised as a superstar must be really really difficult for u. always a commodity, never a human being. not a single person in your family thinking you're worth a damn off the court. yeah, sounds rough. kevin and i talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time. i know it's not entirely your fault that you're mentally unbalanced and affected with these delusions of grandeur, and i know ur physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but i don't think any of us should have to put up with this much of ur bullshit. pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. so please, PLEASE shut the fuck up and leave us alone
