KMag as the Ace of Swords:

This card symbolizes the potential for immense power and success. But remember that the sword is double-edged - depending on who wields it, its power can be used to shelter and protect or to mercilessly strike down for cold and ruthless self-gain.

The Ace of Swords is a card of mental clarity, breakthroughs, and success. It reminds us of the power of our intellect and the importance of clear thinking and effective communication.

kevin needing andrew around him everytime he’s about to take a hard decision is like when kids have those really old ragged blankets that are held together by pure faith they carry everywhere

Fluent Freshman - Part 03

PREVIOUS

In the Fluent Freshman AU I could see a moment where Andrew kind of misses having Renee around. She was a nice quiet support for him during her time at Palmetto and now she’s graduated. Bee suggests that Andrew try and make a new friend, he can try with someone on the team even.

Andrew, initially, thinks it’s a stupid idea. He real hates pretty much every sophomore (Jack’s group) and pretty much all of the new freshmen irritate him since they’re always trying to steal Neil’s attention with all their fucking problems. The only freshman that he has no opinion on (and therefore is miles and miles ahead of everyone else) is the quiet one that he glowered at pretty early on for staring at Neil’s scars.

Except now, with the knowledge that the kid is a foreign language major, he was probably just trying to figure out what language him and Neil were talking in since the kid isn’t phased at all when Neil absentmindedly used his shirt to wipe away sweat on his face. Everyone else had LOOKED but the kid had just continued on as if it were nothing.

Nicky likes him a fair bit and has assured both Andrew and Neil, after the fourth time the kid power walked away from them, that he’s not homophobic just due to circumstances public displays of affection make him deeply uncomfortable. The Foxes have pasts and if the kid isn’t going to make it their problem then Andrew isn’t about to get irritated over it.

(Nicky doesn’t elaborate that those circumstances being that he understands that Andrew is telling Neil all the places (geographical locations) that he wants to kiss Neil and where he’d do it. He’s really not a prude but how did watching Cars 2 result in this level of dirty talk?! He’s just trying to actually get to see these movies everyone keeps referencing so that he can join in on the conversation)

The kid’s quiet company the few times Andrew’s been in it and Neil has been making some slow progress on getting the kid to open up. Andrew knows that the kid has his own weekly meetings with Betsy and he’s not about to pry.

(It’s social anxiety and stress related. No he has not told Betsy about the whole Russian situation because she’d be mad at him right? Everyone keeps telling him that Betsy and Andrew Minyard are close and that Andrew is her favorite even if she can’t admit to having something like that. She’s nice but what if she gets mad about it and tells Wymack that he’s not fit mentally to be on the team? Then what? He can’t afford college without a sports scholarship. Oh god- Betsy spends a lot of time walking him through stress relief and not worst case scenario-ing every interaction)

Andrew figures that if nothing else this kid is fine with sitting in stony silence. If it doesn’t work then w/e he tried.

So, to Fluent Freshman’s absolute horror and dismay, Andrew Minyard starts to hang around him even when Captain Neil ISN’T AROUND. He becomes unbeatable at Poker and fluent in Japanese if not fully literate.

Once it’s just Andrew and Fluent Freshman sitting in absolute silence for an hour. This might be the nicest time Andrew’s had with someone not part of his family since Renee left. “You ever consider learning Russian?” Andrew asks.

Fluent Freshman’s award winning performance starts here.

“No, I have never considered taking Russian classes here.” He responds turning a page in his book on Esperanto (he thinks it’d be fun) because why take a class for a language he’s already fluent in. He’s bad at lying but he’s GREAT at just not saying the truth.

Andrew doesn’t say anything in response and they continue to sit in silence until Fluent Freshman has to get up and go quietly have a panic attack.

Everyone, except Nicky, all think that Fluent Freshman’s the second coming of Andrew’s general apathy. Bee is proud of Andrew for willingly sitting next to someone in almost complete silence. Andrew says it helps that there’s someone else like him (Bee is confused because Fluent Freshman is known to bring his own brown paper bag to hyper-ventilate into but she says nothing.)

Only Nicky knows the full extent. Fluent Freshman is doing breathing exercises, taking pepto bismol to help his stress related stomach ulcer, and considering using his art gen-ed for theater so that he can commit to this bit better.

Fluent Freshman kind of gets used to Andrew’s quiet company until one day they’re an hour and a half into their usual absolute silence when Fluent Freshman gets up to grab something Andrew looks at him and goes “Hey wanna learn how to use a knife?” And Fluent Freshman stiffens up and straight up faints.

aaron stanford’s lack of poker face + mentioning, unprompted, his “lasting friendships” from those movies - months before the first trailer confirmed pyro was back - made me clock that the other two must be returning, too

then they had equally terrible poker faces in their own interviews lol

My take on: Kevin E. Levin

he is more so based off my AU/story featuring him

this version of him is basically him before he reunited with the tennysons in AF

the folks of bellwood have no idea where he came from, how old he is or what he is doing here, but one thing`s for sure

you don`t want to mess with him

here`s original sketch of the idea :D

he`s got sharp ears and who knows what else he is hiding underneath

due to UAF`s sorta 60s inspired look, i wanted to go for such fashion as well into the design

so i mostly played around with that. mostly tried to keep the grunge vibe going on. and the jacket just made sense to kinda callback to his working fit from the live action movie

ALL THAT LOOKING DOWN \\ kevin/neil/andrew + completed \\ 163.000 words

“Do you like it?"

The simplest question to everything. A yes or no, asked over and over. Do you like Exy? Do you like yourself? Do you like the language that you should have learned in school in a country you were ripped from? Neil and Andrew, last December, bent over him on the couch asking him do you like us?

Kevin hums, a rising note of both confirmation and avoidance, different to how it was as a kid with that tilted accent.

alternatively; Kevin Day’s horrible no-good very bad attempt at learning Gaeilge in the fucking USA.

do you think that kevin has scars apart from his hand ?

I think he might. They would be less noticeable, less severe ones, but I can imagine he might have some older healed over ones from before he was so heavily presented to the media or a few tucked away in hard to see spots. A cane can leave scars behind, and Kevin might have a few of those he dismisses away as casualties of a rough sport or accident-prone behavior that isn’t quite the truth.

if we don't get to see the "something special" nico brought to wear for their ice baths, I will personally burn something down. this is a threat and a promise.

one day andrew neil and kevin will be forced by their pr teams to do a youtube challenge. they do the deaf blind and mute baking challenge with neil being blind, andrew being deaf, and kevin being mute. exy twitter is never the same after this releases. the chaos is glorious and people now see the three greatest exy players in a completely new light. somehow gold medalists seem less intimidating when you see them cuss each other out over the consistency of cupcake batter

i love to imagine what happened leading up to kevin smoking his first cigarette. did he insist? no andrew i can do it and not cough watch. did andrew peer pressure him? and by peer pressure he said it’s like instant stress reliever and that was all it took for him to try? does kevin ever do it again? was he even sober when he did it in the first place? is it only a little drunk treat?

1 - it was peer pressure because andrew said he couldn't do it with the intention of making kevin do it

2 - yeah he'd definitely do it as a stress reliever and i can see him making a genuine effort to Not be around cigarettes after he discovers this because it's an addiction kevin really doesn't want to have

3 - not sober at all and similar to jeremy (and yours truly) it's almost always a drunk treat. i don't think he's in the habit of finishing his cigarettes on his own though. he almost always shares it with andrew or neil

4 - kevin's concerns with smoking aren't just about his health he strikes me as the kind of person who hates the idea of having yellow teeth. you need to know kevin day has the shiniest sharpest pearly whites you will ever see in your sorry life

5 - not to get cheesy but one of andrew's best memories of kevin is him drunk in the backseat of the mas smoking a cigarette he thought was going to be his last (out the window!) and occasionally humming along to whatever nicky was telling him about that night

You just know that if Thea was Theo, people would be all over this ship. Theo definitely didn't abandon Kevin, Theo was the one in the Nest that kept Kevin sane and held him through the darkest time, and protected him as much as he could from Riko's tyranny.

Kevin was so distraught after he had to leave the Nest and had to be without contact to Theo - Probably drinking himself into stupor because he needed Theo's arms around him so much and whisper to him that it would all be okay. He needed that strong person to lean on. Yeah Andrew is strong, but it's a different kind of strength Kevin needed.

And then they finally meet again, realizing so much has changed but they can be together, want to be together, need to be together. And Theo reminds Kevin, that despite everything he went through, it got him into the spotlight again and he can move on from this and use this to his advantage, because Theo is always there to remind Kevin about what matters to him <3
