yk the part where neil asks andrew what he's scared of and andrew says heights like he's joking? yeah he definitely got that from wymack cuz the first time he asked wymack what he was scared of coach said 'i'm not particularly fond of cockroaches'

so, another thing about collegiate teams is that they usually have an alumni game.
now the foxes don't have any alumni by the end of the books, but they will eventually.
now this might be different for a sport like exy (I played lax which really dosent have a large professional league, but the big d1 schools i think still do this too) but yk what it usually happens during pre-season anyways and its always a ton of fun.
Because what happens is that it's usually a game of alumni vs current players. and that is hilarious.
(Dan gets back on the court and gets to win against her current players)
(the current players are just like 'this is so unfair' and 'what the fuck do you mean I have to guard kevin motherfucking day' or ' how the fuck am I supposed to score? minyard is in goal???')
Neil has the time of his life btw - because an alumni game is also a chance for everyone to play on the foxes' court again, a chance to come home!

i know everyone and their grandmother has said "he's such an asshole!! (affectionate!!)" and while that's obviously fully true.. it seems to overshadow one of the most seemingly counterintuitive things about Neil which is that he naturally can be very polite. obviously they're not mutually exclusive qualities but i feel like it's hardly ever talked about. like from the beginning he apologizes a lot and occasionally has manners and shit, and especially once he gets close to the foxes he genuinely feels bad and guilty about lying to them and hurting them. I feel like people try so hard to make sure he's not seen as soft that the general idea has become that he's this verbally aggressive jackass who's only ever nice to like. andrew. but I don't think he is

random aftg headcanons pt2
pt1
king is a fat cat and andrew lovingly bullies her for it
neil playing minecraft. just think about it. big gamer headphones, having the hardest time with the controls, building practical bunkers only, andrew in the background
after losing a bet to allison, kevin has to wear a cocktail dress. pictures are kept as blackmail (including one in which he is flexing his muscles to the camera with a deadpan)
he secretly liked it
andrew cooks and neil cleans
matt likes mean girls
allison had a heathers phase she denies its existence
before coaching the foxes, dan coached little exy teams. 9yo love her
wymack and kevin have the same manerisms. they both raise their eyebrows the same way; both stand up mad, yell a little bit and walk a little bit around the room while a hand goes through their hair when an exy game on the tv goes wrong; both make the same hand gesture while yelling at the players on court when they are off it, both cross their arms when thinking a play
andrew has a folder of neil thrist traps fans made
matt goes on a long long rant about how amazing, perfect, beatiful dan is and the reporter be like "we asked you what you think of tonight's game"
renee, sundresses. nod if you agree
kevin watches anime
allison would have gone pro, but she never got an offer. it still hurts her a little bit. (she kept playing though)
at some point, jean gets a tattoo of elodie's name on his arm
one time, only one time, renne wears a leather jacket. (she looks so fucking hot on it)
blowing kisses at refs and oponements becomes nicky's trademark.
