Neil has an ongoing beef with one of their cats. They both take lap time with andrew very seriously.

it’s a tragedy that Jean was waterboarded for many reasons and one of them is that Jean can’t peacefully take an existentially long depression shower

Neil saw the "I can fix him trope" and said "I can fix his brother and their issues, his vague acquaintances, his college sports team and his extremely dependent best friend and have his enemies killed but I won't fix him cause he's perfect"

love the foxes having their gasted flabbered bc of the "I asked" thing when in my heart I KNOW that neil was staring like this at andrew:

all that man heard was static noise mind empty no thoughts just "proper name, place name, back story stuff" celine dion singing i will always love you in the distance hearts shaped petals dropping from the ceiling like sure whatever you say prettyboy

The funniest jerejean dynamic would be, "mutual pining despite having achieved a level of casual closeness that even dating couples may find hard to replicate." Jean is convinced that love could not be in the cards for someone like him and even if it were, Jeremy would hardly go for someone like him. While Jeremy has his "I am a Responsible Captain" hat on so tight that starting anything with Jean seems borderline unethical to him, even though he reeaaally wants to. Except they're also picking each other up from the airport or wherever whenever the other calls, picking up toiletries/daily use items for each other, share a joint calendar and talk to each other every day before going to bed. Even better if they're also subtly but consistently trying to flirt and tempt the other into making a move, but it's not working because they're both hard countering each other's flirtations as if their lives depend on it.

Neil covering Andrew up again, but make it sweet this time

[And the follow up]

[well-gosh-diddly-darnit-minyard]

the “Jean Moreau and Jeremy Knox are golden retriever/black cat boyfriends” mindset is correct, however: may I propose that when they were younger, Jeremy was the black cat and Jean was the golden retriever?

interesting to me that neil compares kevin's relationship with riko to his relationship with his father when i truly believe it is much more similar to the relationship he had with his mother when she was alive. OKAY GUYS JUST WALK WITH ME FOR A SECOND ALRIGHT HEAR ME OUT. okay so obviously there are some major differences like mary's physical abuse is justified as necessary discipline for neil's continued survival whereas riko's physical abuse of kevin was mainly due to jealousy plus the fact that riko and kevin are the same age does create a much different power dynamic, however if neil is gonna compare riko to his father i think i am allowed to ignore this one. but ANYWAY if u think about the extreme codependency fostered in the nest through the partner system it's very comparable to mary and neil's forced dependency on each other while they're on the run. like kevin and neil are both isolated from society and forced into a situation where there is only one other person they can trust or rely on in the face of external dangers (riko and mary respectively). but the bulk of the comparison comes from the fact that the deals surrounding kevin are Not about keeping riko from physically attacking or kidnapping him (like neil's father does to him) it's about keeping kevin from saying Yes. andrew + neil are working to keep kevin from agreeing to go back and that's why it is fundamentally similar to the abusive situation neil finds himself in with his mother. if mary was alive neil never would've gone back to exy, if she had survived and told him to leave the foxes he would've said yes!! he's been conditioned to rely on her the same way that kevin was conditioned to be riko's second!! neil talks about kevin like he only fears physical repercussions to himself from riko which is true but on a fundamental level kevin and neil are struggling with the same idea which is "i should not be doing this". plus kevin's love/guilt/relief surrounding riko (specifically his death) is like one for one how neil feels about his mother. I'm not really going anywhere with this post i just couldnt stop thinking about mary and neil's relationship and how overlooked it is due to neil's biases.
