#aftg extra content

[not-a-user-jussanidiot]

Something something thinking about the extra content where Andrew asks Neil to live together by telling him that "if he wants more than two chairs and a bed" he needs to think about all the furniture himself. Neil taking the job pretty seriously because due to his life on the run he now associates material possession with stability and he really wants to make sure this feels like a forever home and that he's not going anywhere, for once.

Neil ending up buying a bunch of stuff that he doesn't know how to build (never built furniture in his life) and Waymack coming in clutch to help, having a bonding moment with his now-fully-functional-grown-adult kid that almost died a few times and went against the fking mafia being like "what do you MEAN you don't know how to use a damn screwdriver?!!"

I love the AFTG characters and their silly interest like Andrew canonically likes to watch musicals with Bee, Kevin is down bad for history, Neil thinks math is fun. They’re just so human I love them

[blackestar]

i’m finally finally reading the aftg extra content and

omg?? ive seen some people post about this before but reading it on my own is just another feeling like he was freaking out after neil got kidnapped and it hurts to read but also omg

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.

aftg in a nutshell

[lvsjean28]

"Give her to me, Andrew."

"You will regret it."

"Says the man dating a mafioso."

"I'm not dating him," Andrew said, with a hint of impatience

Aaron saw right through him, and it was enough to make him smile as he turned his gaze out the window. "Liar.”

AARON BE LIKE:

[bea-l-t]

If Aaron and Katelyn's love story was ever told from Katelyn's POV, I feel like it would follow so many YA romance tropes. Like the bad boy with an attitude problem who keeps pushing you away? It's because he has a tragic backstory and a strained relationship with his brother. He's occasionally extremely violent? Okay well he's also the sweetest and most caring boy in the world and like honestly he's just really misunderstood. You guys can see each other, but it needs to be a secret relationship. He's a jock, but like, he's not like other jocks. Also the mafia is involved somehow.

The biggest difference is that she never felt like she had to fix him (and he never had to fix her either) and for that I stan this couple so much.

andrew handpicks robin for the foxes and robin becomes the last official member of the monsters and andrew gives robin his bed and robin sits with andrew and neil on the couch and andrew gives robin his knives and nicky leaves robin a key to the columbia house and robin becomes neil's best friend in neil's fifth year and wymack makes robin vice-captain then captain

[joejhang]

i feel like we don't talk abt this part of the ec enough bc CAN WE JUST. TALK ABOUT HOW ANDREW EQUATES HIS AND NEIL'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WYMACK AND ABBY'S. LIKE. CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT. BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT IT EVERY DAY. EVERY. DAY.

by the way nora said that when aaron and andrew went their separate ways from south carolina aaron hugged andrew and andrew was the last one to let go. if you even care

Aaron realising that Andrew enrolled in college just so he could become a neurosurgeon because without the sports scholarship he wouldn't have made it... I LOVE THE TWINYARDS

[little2nerdy]

been thinking more about the aftg extra content, specifically the conversation between bee and andrew when she asks if he had a r*pe kit done. throughout the entirety of the drake attack & aftermath andrew had aaron’s wellbeing/future as the first thing on his mind. he went through a traumatic experience and then chose to go through another to make sure he had all the proof he needed to prove aaron’s actions were in self defense even at the cost of andrew’s own well being so that he could ensure his brothers future.

and then consequently aaron finding out that andrew told bee that he wanted to be a neurosurgeon and that he would do anything to make sure aaron got that chance to succeed. aaron finally realizing never really understood andrew until this point.

Allison having a trans kid in the extra content literally changed my life

[k-arina1-3]

I love how everyone in the AFTG fandom just adopted Nora's habit of crosing out the truth like she did in the extra content.

aftg bonus content spoilers

after tkm the perception of andrew becomes so reliant on his personality through neil's love-tinted eyes, and there's such little about betsy that we know because neil avoids her like the plague. and then you get her pov.

you get her pov at one of the most damaging points in the series. and andrew minyard, in the middle of it all, still trying so hard to be seen as strong and unaffected, trying to look past all of it, and his mother, the truest, realest one he'll ever have, tells him: listen to me. i am proud of you.

and for a moment this indeterminably strong character is just a boy. he's just a twenty-ish year old boy looking at his mother, upset and possibly even afraid, before saying: everyone knows now, bee.

TW & CW As an audience we know about Andrew's self harm and self destruction in a small degree, we know what Andrew was willing to share with Neil. But to see how he uses it as a form of self regulation and grounding, to see how Bee is able to help him and how he listens to her, and to see how he feels that it is something he needs to hide!!
