kevin for the character thing of course

How I feel about this character

He is my everything. My confidante. My best friend. My right hand arm man. My silly rabbit. I want to put him in a box and shake it forever

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Honestly I will truly ship anything. It's not even restricted to Kevin. But based on actual canon and not just me throwing random characters at each other and seeing how they spin, I would say I'm a particular enjoyer of Kandreil, Kevjean, and Kerejean. Also kevriko but only if it's one sided and fucked up but kevriko to me isn't even a ship it's just common sense. Also I high-key fuck with Kevthea I think they could have been great if given more thought and page time.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

My thing is that I don't really care if a relantionship is platonic or romantic most of the time so usually if I enjoy a couple, I'll equally enjoy them as just friends. I just care if it's intense and interesting. Just so I'm not copy pasting the previous answer I would have liked to see more Dan & Kevin and Matt & Kevin because they have a pretty tense canon relantionship that I don't think is the fun kind of tense (like for example I do think it's funnier if Kevin and Allison have an eternal bitch off), and that I would have liked to see fleshed out and maybe resolved.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I understand the ways that Kevin leaving made life worse for Jean, and why that fucked his abandonment issues even worse, but I feel like as a fandom people are very bad at separating how a character feels from what the reader knows. I think it's fine if Jean resents Kevin for leaving (which he canonically kind of doesn't; what he has going on is much more self-loathing and fucked up), but often times I see that bleeding into how people interpret that situation personally and it annoys me. Because as readers we know the full story from both sides and should know better. I'm just tired of seeing that situation being made solely about how it hurt Jean, ignoring the fact that Kevin had to choose between throwing his friend under the bus and staying and risking execution himself; that he was in an unimaginable amount of pain to the point where he called out to Jean in French out of pure desperation; and that that incident shattered Kevin's whole life and sense of self. The situation is all around fucked up and it's actually treated with nuance in TSC which has not translated into fandom at large at all. To treat it as if Kevin simply abandoned Jean for no reason, or that he should grovel for Jean's forgiveness, or even that Jeremy should cut Kevin out once he finds out the truth, are all very reductive ways to see the situation and it annoys me to hell and back.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

This is going to sound very basic and predictable but I really wished we had gotten more Andrew and Kevin post-Baltimore. Like I get the logic behind Nora making them not give a fuck about what happened I just wished it was different. Truly one (1) conversation and I would be happy forever maybe
