[mitskihost]

aftg show but it has shameless style precaps

- kevin, watching freshmen practice from the bleachers: “well? you sure as fuck weren’t at practice last week so where were you? you think you deserve a recap? go fuck yourself

- aaron, hunched over a textbook late at night, visibly disgruntled: “i play exy on the same team as kevin, i’m fucking pre-med and i still tuned in for last week’s episode. what the fuck is your excuse?”

- nicky, collecting empty beer cans from under a couch: “wait, you missed last week? thank god, me too. blacked the fuck out. i’ll let you have this just don’t tell andrew kay?”

- dan, putting her gear on in the lockeroom: “im incharge of the messiest exy team in the history of the ncaa and even i made time to watch the show last week. you think you get to be lazy? i won’t accept excuses next time? roll the fucking tape”

- allison, carefully painting each of her finger nails: “you want me to tell you what happened here last week? do i look like your fucking mother? you wanna get spoonfed all the time? get the fuck out of my sight and watch the damn recap”

- renee, sweaty, sparring with andrew casually: you missed last weel huh? i’m not an aggressive person yknow, i like to avoid fights. but if i hear you miss another week, my blade will not show you mercy. i’ll give you a pass this time, go on then (andrew in the background: you done playing nice walker? we gonna get started anytime soon?)

- seth, smoking outside the court, allison next to him looking annoyed: “you missed last week huh? look, i couldn’t care less. but i’d love a reason to punch your teeth in. you don’t wanna give me that reason again next week. now get lost.”

- matt, walking out of the lockeroom where everyone else is sitting in a shit mood: oh hi, yeah you don’t wanna be here. they got to know you missed the last week. kevin might tear you a new one if he sees you. maybe….watch the recap? i think that might help

- neil, during the hitchhiking scene in book1: look at me right now. fucking look at me. you missed last week and you cant even give me a ride. fuck you. make yourself useful and watch the recap.

- andrew, smoking on the roof, looking visibly unimpressed: i don’t care about most things that happen around here, and i still tuned in to watch the episode last week. now get lost. i don’t want witnesses to what i’m about to do to josten.

-wymack: nothing you could be doing last week was more important than the kind of shit ive been dealing with. get your shit together, asshole. better not see you asking me this stupid shit next week.

– Hey, why do you like Nicky? He forcibly kissed Neil!!!!

– WHY AM I DOING THIS?!!!? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Why do I love the sunniest boy on a freakingэ gloomy team? He literally kept the team spirit alive when he wasn't. He's the most realistic character in the entire universe: he has blunders that people REALLY can make in life. because, yeah. Yes, you know, someone can get drunk and kiss their best friend, someone can fall asleep, and someone can start a fight and it will be awful. because, YES. Yes, I can and want more interaction with my parents. If we have a fight and my mom calls me and says, "Come over," I will come over.

Why do I love the most loving person in the world (for me personally)?

Why do I love a boy who went to another country for two other boys he barely knew, just because...what? !!!!? he thought he didn't want them to be raised like himself.

Now ask me again. Why do I love Nicky Hemmick?

[jayjuls]

We were choosing them by voting, I swear

Well, that’s a good coincidence, two sunny boys from different teams

And their shirts, please look at their shirts!!🤭 i would buy those if i could

[s-hanna-h]

Nicky and Erik deserve more love 💗

[aceofhearts827]

Neil: did it hurt?! when u fell from heaven?

Andrew: Did u just call me satan?

Neil:

Andrew: we r in public stop flirting with me.

[karmiky]

Headcanon that when Nicky was attacked outside of Eden’s that Andrew stepped in right away because he was on a smoke break outside. But then Aaron heard the commotion and went after the four assholes too. Neither one of them thought twice about it because they won’t stand for anyone messing with their family. (And if it was really one against four Andrew would have gotten his ass beat, idc that shit only happens in movies.) And when the fight was over Andrew told Aaron to run before the cops came because Andrew didn’t think he had a future, but believed Aaron did. (At this point Aaron was sober and was showing interest in college and medicine.) The assholes were too messed up to identify that it was both twins and the bouncers weren’t going to snitch and Andrew was low key impressed that Aaron would throw down with him. And this is the first time Andrew and Aaron find any sort of middle ground. In this essay I will...

[satanic-foxhole-court]

Neil and Jewelry

So like I have this personal headcanon that every time Neil had to switch identities, he would put one of those fake piercings in his nose, lip, or ear?? Idk it’s just a little detail that he would pop in to help him feel more ‘in character’ and look more human, I guess, and he wouldn’t have to keep hiding piercings. So anyway, during the summer before his sophomore year at PSU, before he meets the incoming freshmen, he just pops it in his nose. He wants to be Neil Josten to these freshmen, not Nathaniel or anybody else, and he always really liked the nose ring.

He just walks out of the bathroom the Friday before freshman move-in week and he has it in, but he doesn’t say anything. Nicky hasn’t had his morning coffee yet so he can’t even look anyone in the eyes, much less notice anything different about someone. Kevin sees it right away, though. 

“Oh, really? Murder and mafia wasn’t edgy enough for you?” he asks, gesturing to the nose ring. “That better fuckin not be permanent.” And Neil just flips him off because it’s not permanent, and Kevin knows he wouldn’t do that to himself, and Neil knows that Kevin won’t be too much of an asshole so long as Neil takes it out for games. 

Nicky looks up to see what Kevin’s talking about and it takes him a couple of seconds but when he finally sees the nose ring he literally can’t talk...like his brain is going ???  !!! because Neil is already so hot and now he’s got a nose ring and Nicky is So. Gay. Neil just rolls his eyes and Kevin mutters something unintelligible about Erik. 

Andrew comes out of the bedroom a little bit later, while Neil is failing at making himself breakfast. Immediately he knows something is up because Nicky is just staring at Neil with a big ol’ blush on his face. When Neil turns a little bit, Andrew sees the nose ring and he just turns around and walks right back into the bedroom. No one sees him again until they leave for practice, and he makes a very conscious effort to avoid Neil’s gaze. 

Aaron meets them at the car and looks at the nose ring curiously, but he doesn’t say anything about it. He does snort when he notices the effect it very obviously has on both Andrew and Nicky. 

When they get to the lounge, the upperclassmen are already there. Matt notices immediately, and he loves it. “It looks great on you dude. No seriously, it’s great. When did you get it? Is it real? Wow, I’m so glad you’re feeling yourself.” 

Dan laughs at her boyfriend and then turns to her boyfriend’s boyfriend and winks at him. “Damn, son.” (We all know that Dan is one hell of a flirt and she loves flirting with Neil because they both find it hilarious.) 

Renee just smiles at him and tells him that it’s a good look for him. 

Allison is so proud. Neil?? Taking some pride in appearance??? She loves it. “You look absolutely fabulous, but what is that, aluminum? You need some real sterling silver so you don’t get a rash. We can get you one this weekend.” 

They’re all so nice to him. Neil never really cared what he looked like before, and he never really disliked his appearance because he never really thought about it. His teammates made him actually feel good about the way he looks, and it’s a nice feeling. 

He takes the ring off during practice to avoid and injury/distraction, but he pops it right back on afterward. Wymack gives them their usual debriefing after practice, reminds them that the freshman will be on campus next week, and throws in a reminder to no-one in particular that all jewelry has to come off during games. 

They don’t go to Eden’s that night, because Allison organized a nice dinner at a swanky restaurant for them all since it’s the last night they have just the nine of them. It’s really a lovely dinner, and the hot discussion topic is Neil’s ring. They ask him why he got it, and he explains always having one to move around and that the nose ring was always his favorite. Nicky asks Andrew if he likes it-Andrew responds with a bored look and a refusal to speak for the rest of the night. 

Later, when they get back, Andrew heads up to the roof and Neil follows. They share a cigarette, meaning Andrew smokes and hands it to Neil every once in a while. 

“What, I don’t get my own tonight?” 

“They raised the prices, I’m not made of money.” 

“Do you like it?” Neil asks after a while. Andrew looks at him, throws his cigarette down for Neil to crush under his boot, and stares directly into Neil’s eyes. It’s a little bit unsettling, since he’s been avoiding looking at Neil all day. 

“Yes or no?” 

“Yes.” 

Andrew just leans forward, into Neil’s space, and places a tiny little kiss on Neil’s nose, right on top of the ring. He doesn’t back up when he’s done.

“If you’re not careful, you’re going to give Nicky a heart attack. He can’t handle hot dudes,” Andrew says, and before Neil has a chance to point out that Andrew just called him hot, Andrew grabs his face and pulls him into a proper kiss. 

Many kisses later, Andrew pulls back and deposits another soft peck to Neil’s nose. 

“You know, junkie, I could grow to not hate it.”

It's half past four a.m. and I cant sleep because I'm over interpretating All for the game. Is Erik's lastname some kind of easter egg or joke or is this my insomnia speaking? He's german and during the time the books were published the german football (soccer) player Miroslav Klose was celebrated as one of the best STRIKER of his generation. Like being the best Striker isn't important in the books or anything.

aftg characters as things my sister has said "sober"

aaron - i support the gay, i don't support you. that's not homophobic that's your personality.

nicky - i think i need a camera on me at all times because we need a little comedy for the coming generations. unfortunately, considering how things are right now - that isn't going to happen.

neil - i usually am not homicidal, but when i see your face - it's like a catalyst. it just makes me want to aggressive upper cut

renee - you have no demons, you literally have kittens in your soul.

manic andrew - small dogs are the worst, just look at me.

wymack - your crackhead energy makes me want to *crack head* open

allison - for someone who hates men, you sure behave like one

matt - when life gives you melons, it forgets to give you forks

jeremy - it's time to retrospect your entire life

kevin - notice how your head didn't crack open? that's because you have no head. no head? *aggressive jump*

sober andrew - i don't have feelings, i have mushrooms

seth - i will not hesitate to lock you in the closet, even though you've been there for half your life

dan - not a quote because my sister has too much dumb bitch energy for dan, BUT she did kick a guy in the balls at the tender age of 8 when he made fun of her height. sounds like dan to me
