#and possibly even kevin

[foxstens]

the idea of riko doing certain things to jean wishing he could do them to kevin is so fucked up

[afurtivecake]

in some ways, tgr made me feel like kevin has a higher chance of being straight than riko.

Love reminding myself of how actually pathetic Mizora was. You are a millennium old devil- a literal devil- and your greatest pride and joy and the highlight of your day in your 9-5 hellish grind is bullying a 24 year old with one eye and a 2010 YouTuber complex. Could you be any pettier?

hi! for the angsty hurt/comfort dialogue prompts, could i please request 7 for kevin and jean from aftg? i'm not sure if you'd like to write for these two, but still thank you and have a great day :)

wow you all really like seeing these guys go through it huh? (same)

in all seriousness i have lots of feelings about kevin and jean (individually and as a dynamic) so this is like therapy thank you <3

7. "I'm here. I've got you. You're safe now."

Kevin remembers everything.

To say he'd gotten away more lightly than others would not be a lie—even Neil was proof of that—but he had never been ignorant. None of the Ravens were. True, many never would have known the full extent of the darkness in the Nest, but all had at least a vague idea. All had at least borne witness to physical evidence in the things that could not be brushed off as rough play.

Kevin's sure that's part of why so many of them have fallen now. He, like the rest of them, had lived with it for too long, knowing that whatever else it meant to be there, it meant being the best. But he, unlike some of the rest of them, is no stranger to guilt.

He felt it, every time Jean showed up with a broken bone; every time a new welt appeared on Jean's skin; every time a new bruise marred Jean's neck in the obvious shape of teeth. He felt it in the broken French they shared, Kevin's apologies always feeling untranslatable in the end despite désolé being one of the first ten words he'd learned.

It was a funny thing, this guilt. Kevin was never directly responsible, given he was never himself violent and he was not even Jean's partner. His inability to prevent it was cause for guilt, of course, but he was not any guiltier for this than their other teammates. Kevin was not really in any way responsible for Jean Moreau.

Still, in some way, Jean had always felt like his.

It was more than the numbers on their cheek. More, even, than Riko's hold over them both, than their mutual love-hate for the man who had never, Kevin is now sure, spent a true second of care on either of them.

Kevin cared for Jean. Cares. Beyond any traumatic bond linking them together, beyond worrying that 'without Jean' would mean without anyone, would mean Kevin being alone in his hell, because he hadn't been, even then, and he certainly isn't now. Still, Kevin cannot, does not want to, forget about Jean.

But now, there is distance. Now, there is more guilt than ever before.

Kevin knew, at the time, that his lack of action would be something he could never make up for, but he had done what he could by being there.

Then he had acted, and it had meant abandonment, and he doesn't think that it something he can ever come back from.

So when Jean widens the distance, Kevin allows it, and when Jean gives him anger, gives him guilt, gives him violence, Kevin takes it. It is less than he deserves.

But when Jean calls, Kevin comes. It is more than he deserves, and the least he can do.

Jean's new teammates do not bat an eyelash at his arrival; they point him to Jean without hesitation. This, too, is more than Kevin deserves, but he does not waste time on that. Jean is waiting for him, and Kevin will not turn away from him again. He will not make the same mistake twice.

At first, Jean does not speak. He does not even look at Kevin; the slight stiffening of his shoulders is the only indication he knows Kevin is there.

Kevin isn't sure what makes him break. One moment, Jean is rooted in front of the window, staring blankly out, and the next he is turning on Kevin with a vicious stream of French. It's too quick, almost, for even Kevin to follow, too baseless and broken, a ramble more than a speech, but Kevin understands what he needs to. He understands 'you bastard'; he understands 'I hate them'; he understands 'he will not die'; he understands 'we can never be free'; he understands 'I hate you, I hate you'.

He understands, and it is less than he deserves, so he takes it, and does not retaliate as Jean pummels at his chest—weakly as far as Jean is concerned, but not weakly enough not to hurt. And finally, muffled into Kevin's shoulder where Jean has come to rest, but in English, so there is no want of understanding, Jean asks, "Why?"

Kevin does not have an answer. All he has is this—he gathers Jean in his arms and holds on tightly, keeps holding on when Jean weakly fights him, until eventually the fight has gone out of them both. Then, when Jean shudders and quiets and clings back to Kevin as if Kevin will turn to smoke otherwise, will dissipate and disappear, this time never to return, all Kevin can give him is this.

"I'm here," he murmurs; a promise he will never break again, not so long as it is his choice. "I've got you. You're safe now."

oh

do you think kevin had to go to classes alone

I’ve figured out what Kevin’s doing. He’s trying to beat Marc’s run in Argentina 2018 (5 different penalties in one race)

[harpercireth]

The Usual Suspect college AU headcanons bc I'm unhinged hehehe💖

-McManus once accidentally set an amphi on fire. No, I won't elaborate.

-Keaton and Kujan are both in the debate club, and there's some sort of weird one-sided rivalry going on btw them. Kujan hates Keaton's guts with a burning passion, he's his arch nemesis, his mortal enemy. Meanwhile Keaton's thoughts on Kujan can pretty much be summarized to "he's cool ig".

-Edie is in charge of the library

-Keyser is pretty much the campus' equivalent of the sasquatch. Students might see a shadow swiftly pass btw some bushes once in a while. Maybe it was a stray animal, a gust of wind...? Who knows.

-There's a group of students particularly invested in this bs, tho. They KNOW there's something roaming around and they WANT to prove it. Officially they run the college's newspapers, in reality they're pretty much the GhostSasquatch Busters. They violated, like, 15 laws trying to catch this mf (such as booby-trapping the campus) but their efforts are always fruitless.

-McManus and Fenster met in 6th grade and they've been inseparable since then.

-The sole reason McManus is even in uni (he hates school) is bc he followed Fenster there. His music course is mostly just an excuse to spend as much w with his boyfriend as possible.

-Fenster is taking a languages-related course (yes this is vague on purpose i have no idea how uni works)

-They do the deed in the weirdest, most random places, which include but are not limited to : a tree, on a rooftop, on a cliff, in a parking lot, in their professor's office-

-Fenster once crashed his car straight into Keaton's. To this day nobody knows if he did it on purpose or not. Keaton never forgave him.

-McManus put frog eggs into his professor's coffee.

-Verbal is a weird friendless lil fella, part of the chess club, mostly just hangs out with the librarian. A firm believer of the Sasquatch theory for some reason.

-Hockney joined the basketball club over a year ago bc of a bet with McManus, and he's so fucking bad at it, mostly because he's as tall as a smurf, but since he's the pettiest man alive he refuses to quit. He'd rather drink that shitty frog-infested coffee than let that blond twink win.

-Keaton's survival depends on the 1$ sandwiches and the crappy canned coffees from the cafeteria.

-Kujan is basically a watered down version of a cop on this campus. He's been put in charge of dealing with students' bs since he's so "serious" and "responsible" in exchange for extra credit and his current arch nemesis (second only to Keaton) are the asshats who run the uni's newspapers. He's trying to get their asses to court over the whole booby trap thing but he can NEVER find anything against them. He's slowly going insane. Someone help him.

-(Keaton is responsible for the traps. And probably all the other bs too. He bribed the newspapers ppl into writing an article to defend his thesis he made in the debate club maybe smth abt budget, who cares in exchange for his genius plans to catch the Sasquatch.

i've spent the past few days reading the reign of marvel studios, and let me tell you, fascinating shit

[swear2g-d]

21 seasons of grey's anatomy, maybe 3 original cast members still there, and SOMEHOW owen is still alive. i've never wished death on a character so hard in my life

[radiohostkevin]

Wtnv ep 250 spoilers:

The episode felt...shallow. They didn't explore the emotional ties between any of the characters, even when it was plot relevant. Tamika raised the Boy for a year and didn't even say goodbye or try to save him from Lauren. Carlos knew Kevin for a full decade and they didn't so much as speak to each other.

Then Carlos severed the portal between the Desert Otherworld and Night Vale just like that? Where is the emotional weight behind that decision? Even from a scientific standpoint, there's so much about the Desert Otherworld that we don't know, and that connection was just kinda casually cut. (Even though, as an aside, Desert Bluffs Too hasn't been a threat to Night Vale for years - decades, from their perspective - and so it feels hasty to cut off access to an entire town as a precaution.) It feels like that storyline might be done, and it's such wasted potential if so.

Speaking of wasted potential - Lauren's departure, and her lackluster interactions with Kevin. A few vaguely mean words, and she decides to leave? Why? We're not given any insight. Kevin and Lauren's vaguely antagonistic relationships was fantastic, and even that received little fanfare in the end.

This arc could have ended in so many different ways, and it was ultimately so unsatisfying.

I just hope jun is alright and that he comes back better than ever in 4cc

Okay, so I scoured tumblr trying to find a really long Riverdale (show) post I saw a few days ago, but to no success, so I cannot cite it. It had a lot of writing, and I merely skimmed it, but the sole piece of information I retained was the fact that, at one point, Moose and Kevin got together.

The only reason I point this out is that the phrase “Woah, he’s bisexual, I didn’t know that!” has been bouncing around my mind like a screensaver intermittently over the past several days and I would like it to stop.

The bisexuality doesn’t need to stop. That’s all fine and good. But I would like my thoughts back. Someone please save me from this earworm of a meme.
