How to be heterosexual, by Kevin Day.

Obviously getting a tattoo of a chess piece may not set the manliest tone, especially if that piece is the queen. However, you can put this into a more hetero context by singing out things like 'Let Riko be King, and I will be Queen!', before flinging yourself dramatically across the bed in a drunken sprawl for your male roommates to gather round and admire. After all, you can't expect to be a beacon of heterosexuality if you don't encourage men to stare at you while you sleep.

Follow Kevin for more tips including totally hetero uses of the word 'submit' in professional negotiations with that guy you like.

Basically just started my reread but a scene that's staying with me this time around is early on in TFC when Neil blows his arms out against Andrew. Their entire dynamic and interactions in that moment are so telling of what's to come and it's so *chef's kiss* Like Neil is running and running and running, can't stop, just keeps going until he literally can't hold his raquet anymore and even then tries. He knows better but still he can't stop fighting to get what he wants (scoring on Andrew) at all costs. Meanwhile Andrew's in goal, not even breaking a sweat, already the clear picture of the rock amidst the stormy sea, the cliffs against which Neil can break his waves. And then Andrew pushes Neil to admit he's done and steps on his raquet to force Neil to stay down. Stopping him from running.

But at the same time Andrew was not giving a shit about the game until Kevin sets Neil against him 1v1. Neil shows up and suddenly Andrew can't feign disinterest anymore, suddenly Andrew's forced to be a more active participant in his own life. Neil won't stop fighting and Andrew has to contend with that....it's beautiful

I read somewhere (I wish I remembered where) the idea that all the RED mercs were the originals— EXCEPT for BLU Engie, and RED Engie was actually the clone in that case.

The person who came up with that theory said it made sense— RED is Reliable Excavation Demolition, of course a bunch of murderers, assassins etc. would be attracted to that. Destroying, killing, blowing stuff up! But Engie, our boy, would be more drawn to BLU— which stands for Builders League United. Of course he is! He builds guns, that’s his whole job.

Of course, if you don’t like the implication this brings— that all the mercs had bonded with and made memories with the “fake” clone Engie, and that Engie technically hadn’t “met” any of them in all those years, but only their clone counterparts— you can do what I do! Live in denial Add on to the headcanon.

sureeeeee, maybe Engie originally joined BLU, and that’s why we only see the “BLU Engineer” in the comics… BUT! Maybe because so many of the other mercs joined RED, he got “auto balanced” over to RED or something. And we know the administrator was working for both of them so I guess it could make sense. But after Mann v.s. Machine when the mercs lost their jobs and dispersed he went back to working for BLU. THEREFORE! BLU ENGIE WAS ACTUALLY RED ENGIE THIS WHOLE TIME AND does this actually make sense to anybody anymore?

whatever I don’t care. I’m living in my delusional little fantasy world and I believe everything I say :)

The real reason Engie didn’t join the rest of the team is because things would‘ve gotten real uncomfortable real fast

One little thing I love about all for the game IS HOW NEIL WEARS A BANDANA DURING GAMES like he probably looks soooo cute. It makes sense why Andrew is in love with him. Fanart of bandana Neil makes me feral

Im gonna start this by saying im pretty neutral aboht Thea, but all the debates have got me thinking. I honeslty think the biggest problem is thea just isn't there...like at all.

Listen, Canon Nicky makes me want to claw my skin off. He's my least favorite character in the series. It's a jump scare every time I reread this series, but Nicky is in the book enough qe get to learn some of his redeeming qualities. He's loyal and kind and loves his cousins. The base of Nicky's character is a young adult who left safety and love to protect two kids he didn't know. The Fandom can work with that.

Thea on the other hand, is barely mentioned, shows up to yell at Kevin, accuse Jean of getting his ass beat for sleeping around (not matter your belief on why she said it, this is what she did), and then not believe Kevin when he tells her the truth. There is no more to build her character than these few defining moments. Not even from Kevin, like Nicky talks about Erik constantly. We know Erik loves and literally finically supports Nicky from across the ocean.

The only of thing we know about Thea is that she met Kevin when he was 13 and she was an adult.

I'm not counting extra credit because as much as I love reading extra pieces author wrote, most of the readers won't and you can't expect people to form an opinion based on that.

Hear me out.

Andrew becomes the Head Coach of the Foxes when he retires from the pros.

Wymack tells the OG Foxes--the team that became a family, the team that made it all worth it and proved every 3rd and 4th and 5th chance was worth it--in a text message on a random Tuesday afternoon.

Everyone thought Dan would jump at the chance, but she doesn't. She thinks about it. She talk it over with Allison and Renee and Matt. She asks Neil what he thinks. And she decides against it. She was a great Captain, but she likes coaching high school too much. She likes offering those 2nd chances to teenagers because she understands them.

Neil isn't ready to retire yet. He's still got a few years left in him, and he can't retire until his body gives out.

Kevin...Kevin doesn't want it. The old injury to his left hand had him retiring from the pros earlier than he wanted--earlier than the Moriyama's wanted--but it couldn't be helped. He still has to consider his salary, but he doesn't want to be a Head Coach.

Andrew takes it. He calls Wymack and just says, "it's mine" before hanging up.

Neil is playing for the professional team closest to Palmetto. And Andrew...he understands. He would never say it out loud, of course. But he knows what Wymack did for all of them. He knows why Wymack did it. And he hated stickball, but he knows what that sport and that team accomplished.

Neil tries to hide a smirk when he hears the phone call, but says nothing.

Kevin doesn't want to be Head Coach. But...Assistant Coach doesn't sound too bad, does it? And where Andrew is a steady, unyielding wall, Kevin is a force of nature when it comes to Exy. A goalie and a striker, yes, but a support beam and a fighter for new generations of foxes, on and off the court.

And when Aaron grows tired of the bureaucracy of hospitals and petty colleagues? When he and Katelyn move to Palmetto? When he takes over for Abby? Well. No one asks questions, do they?

Wymack throws away all the other applications he received.
