NO SLEEP TIL GOLDEN RAVEN

-Oona & Nate this week

[aleclighttwd]

“Two, five, ten years from now, if Neil was even still alive, he’d still be alone. He could be anyone, anywhere in the world, but he’d be alone.”

Neil and his ticking clock. For a majority of the books, it was Neil and the upending weight of having to give up the Foxes for the inevitable ending his father wrote for him. He spent the first two books with a noose hanging around his neck…but then came Andrew. Then came the boy who promised people the impossible and didn’t ask for anything back. In the end, Neil Josten wouldn’t die a lie and he wouldn’t die alone.

My main observation is how Neil and Kevin sort of switched endings. Ever since Kevin would remember, he always had a partner by his side — whether that was Riko or unofficially Jean and then Andrew. Kevin always lingered around the orbit system of someone else; there was always a presence he could count on to help him. Then Neil went missing and Andrew wanted to tear the entire stadium down bolt by bolt until he found him. Then Kevin realized that Andrew’s love for Neil would surpass that promise that Andrew gave him. Those hands around his neck, those red indents, are a reminder that now he is not Andrew’s priority and for a man who spend his entire life with a rope tied around his waist to someone else that must have been terrifying. But, he had made Andrew the promise that Kevin will give him something to build his life around — a reason to keep going until that reason blurred into so many others: Neil.

So, in the end, Neil wouldn’t die alone or a lie but Kevin lost the only constant element in his life: a partner.

My foxhole court sketches from 10 years ago are getting attention again, and I just… can you folks like my newer stuff? Please? /jk keep it up thank you!

[lioncubofboone]

Finally reading here foxhole court and boy. Is this series ruining me I've devoured the first book in one day

Genuinely came to it from TikTok recs and couldn't remember what was said about the book because the names were meaningless. And so much of Neils life is focused on Kevin in the first book bc duh. I genuinely thought I was supposed to ship them, but at the end of foxhole court I was like... There's no chemistry?? Kevin is baby but not Neil's baby ya know???

And then in book two Neil looks at Andrew. And really sees him. And I said "oh"

Can't believe it took until Neil started to realize something was there before I did but hey TikTok sent me in with prejudices okokokok

love @thefoxholecast if y’all like aftg please give it a listen!

[elliotdawsonnn]

If you are obsessed with AFTG, y’all should listen to The Foxhole Cast! It’s a podcast that rereads and talks about All For The Game! I’ve been obsessed with it and NEED people to listen to it!

They have a tumblr too! @thefoxholecast

[wandering-nushroom]

What would Spencers spirit animal be? Also what do you perceive the other Aftg characters’ spirit animals to be? Pretty odd question but im really intrigued by Goalposts!

Ooooh thank you for the question and I don’t think it’s odd! I had to think abt this for a couple days!

Okay so first up I’m not like super into the idea of spirit animals bc of appropriation of Indigenous spirituality and such

BUT in terms of animals I think they’d all highly identify with/love to the ends of the earth heres what I came up with!

Andrew: vulture

Neil: American badger

Kevin: cheetah

Renee: kelp seahorse

Allison: shark

Nicky: grey macaw

Aaron: axolotl

Matt: bison

Dan: crocodile

Jean: wolverine

Jeremy: African wild dog

And finally, Spencer: leopard

[thefoxholecast]

Oh my god pics of your Chappell dolls please???

Doing verrrry gay things tonight :) making Chappell Roan paper dolls and listening to the new @thefoxholecast

[thefoxholecast]

I recently had a thought, we know that Riko gets called King, and Kevin eventually gets the title Queen when he changes his tattoo. I was thinking of a deck of cards instead of chess and realized Neil could be the Ace card. Because the Ace is often used as a positive or negative card in a lot of games and if that doesn’t describe Neil Abram Josten to a T, I don’t know what else does.

Jean would be a Joker cause I say so lol.

Oh I really like this idea! Because the ace card can be worth either 1 or 10 (Neil's number.......) so it's like a secret weapon. We'll have to look for more playing card motifs as we keep reading!

Adler's aftg socmed AU Infodump/Lore ✨

some easter eggs, stats, cast, personal faves and everything you didn't ask

→ socmed 'official' cast (but also, aftg show...)

Katya Sitak as Katelyn

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Wymack

Willem De Schryver as the Minyards

Calahan Skogman as Erik

Sophie Turner as Allison

Matthew Daddario as Kevin

Karol Queiroz as Laila

Cascina Caradonna as Catalina

Varada Sethu as Robin

Michael Johnston as L*cas J*hnson

→ the people’s favorites

i was quite surprised to discover that the most popular parts are 1) first batch of Trojans tweets and *thunder roll* 2) PSU PETS !!! that is simply amazing. a round of applause for Joselito, Splenda, Renesmee and Dot <3<3<3<3 (honorable mention to Andrew's goat and Neil's toaster)

→ special lore/easter egg (adler thinks she is the MCU)

on Cat's profile is the Totally Spies! as her header, because: Laila = Sam (redhead) / Cat = Alex (black hair) / Jeremy = Clover (blonde) it's an inside joke/running gag between them, and for a very short while they call Jean "Mandy" to include him <3

very sad no one picked up on this :((( bad gays, all of you! Aaron knowing and using a Drag Race/Alyssa Edwards implies that AARON WATCHES RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE Y'ALL--think about the consequences guys!!! anyhoo. boo. also a very underrated joke imo.

→ Adler's Wall of Fame of Favorite Moments (and Underrated Jokes) You Should Appreciate More

Rupi Kaur who? No no, I only know Seth Gordon

cannot get over Joselito's face

Neil calling Nicky 'Nicholas' amuses me to no end + do u get how cold that killshot was from Kevin to his precious lil Robin???

Peepaw Gordon in his Alabama enclosure

you guys actually REALLY loved this one--i was really surprised, but i will stand by feral crossten bestfriendisms!

crusty ass coconut from NEIL takes me out every time + Nicky's prose about Allison is so beautiful do you know that???

Doctor + BOL of the year fr fr

ending on a bitter(sweet) note because i cannot get over him. whoever this pinterest baby is, i love you. i am barely holding back from printing out the photo to keep Seth in my wallet. you're the greatest thing we've lost.
