This matches something I have been thinking about lately: How Jean thinks he doesn't care about Exy and doesn't enjoy playing it anymore (and hasn't enjoyed it since moving to the Moriyamas). Whereas actually he does still kinda care about it, as proven by Bee in their conversation, when she says something wrong about Exy on purpose just to see if Jean cared enough to correct her and he gets kind of irritated by her "ignorance" and then explains it to her. He still cares and I firmly believe he still likes Exy, he just hates playing Exy as a Raven, with the Ravens, always in pain, constantly in fear of getting punished over the smallest mistakes. For him Exy = pain and trauma.

And I really hope Jean learns to love Exy again, that he remembers what this sport can be like, while he's with the Trojans.

If I remember correctly Kevin once said that the Trojans play Exy like it's supposed to be played. I hope Jean learns to see it like that too (instead of looking down at their way of playing) and realizes how much fun it can be. I want him to play Exy because he enjoys it, not because he's forced to do it by Neil's deal with Ichirou.

Just thinking about how Jean Moreau is one of the best backliners in Class I exy but I don’t think anyone has even seen his peek potential yet

Just thinking about how Neil is able to match Riko at every turn with his speed at the Final Raven v Foxes match and he catches Riko by surprise since Riko is not expecting Neil in top form as when Neil was at the nest he only got on the court after being beat and his physical condition only got worse as the weeks progressed.

So just thinking that about how Jean has never played an Exy game not in pain. He is one of the best even while always playing in pain somewhere on his body. So I can’t wait to see Jean realize what he can do when he finally gets to play when he’s not in pain.

And for everyone to realize that they’ve seen Jean Moreau play but they haven’t seen Jean Moreau play

This is exactly how that scene went & we all know it (also, in my brain, Jean is this gangly Tim-Burton-esque figure of a man & I love him for it. He's the skrunkly fr)

sometimes i’m sooooo blown away by the fact that kevin is so smart……. like yes he is the fox with the highest grades despite being also the fox with the tightest training schedule and yes he canonically gets called an obsessive genius and yes the extra content explicitly says he is both very smart and very willing to teach people. but really i am thinking about kevin playing reporters like fiddles, jean calling kevin too good of a liar to ever let anything slip, kevin going up to andrew post-game and wordlessly helping cover up the fact andrew is off his medicine by pretending andrew’s racquet had broken (and then proceeding to discreetly crush it in his hand when the foxes gather around andrew), kevin living a lifetime of walking on the edge of riko’s knife, kevin hiding french, hiding thea, kevin spotting potential from a mile away, kevin who even riko thought was brilliant and sharp-tongued. yeah……..!

i’m so normal about jean moreau (frothing at the mouth)

[andrew-03-minyard]

I know there's a lot of headcanons that Jean had to hide his French accent because Riko hated it and suddenly he'll let it slip while at USC and it makes him 10x hotter but....

We literally get told that he still has the accent and that it's pretty strong and my heart BREAKS for him. Bcno matter how much he tried to hide and suppress it, it never went away. Can you imagine the rage Riko must've felt every time Jean spoke?? How much pain Riko must've inflicted on him after Kevin left and he was reminded of their betrayal every single time Jean spoke????

[adamsrcnan]

Nora saying Neil would probably never have left Jean alone in the Nest if he had grown up there is so devastating to me in so many ways because the Neil we know is all about self preservation - see the whole zombie apocalypse/"i want to go back for you" conversation - and to know that given the circumstances if Neil and Jean grew up together they'd both be property, they'd be each others partners, but maybe they'd also be friends, be made of the same stuff (they already are!!), unable to leave each other behind, be each other's anchors.

(And not mention the implications on Kevin and Jean's relationship bc Kevin would always leave (?) and what does that say about how he sees and understands Jean and his place as property. something something about "i love you, but i can't fight for you".)

Jean Moreau you deserved so much fucking better.

Can we talk about how considered is Jean, because when Jeremy asked about not calling him by his last name in the rest of the book, the word "Knox" isn't mentioned.

after years of living through kevin’s sunlit memories with postcards and magnets, when cat takes jean for a coastal ride to the beach, excavating shells and sand dollars on the shore, jean finally creates a core memory of his own. with a seashore token in his pocket, breeze blowing through his hair, cat’s laughter twinkling in his ears, the sun beaming on his face—jean finally knows what it’s like to take a moment to breathe and live for himself.

a cool evening breeze. rainbows. open roads.
