[aurisartblog]

something something about declan lynch, always trying to be as unnoticeable as possible , becoming a painter's muse.

something something about the fact that jordan looked at him and thought that he looked like art.

The Original Foxhole Court Extra Content (Archived from Nora Sakavic’s Tumblr)

We copied the following text directly from the pre-2024 version of the Foxhole Court Extra Content page on Nora Sakavic’s Tumblr blog (korakos.tumblr.com/fox). In March 2024, she did “some spring cleaning” by shortening the list of links and deleting/hiding old posts. The links in this copy lead to archived snapshots of the old posts on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.

Some of the links are broken. If you have copies of these posts, please let us know so we can fill in missing content!

The Foxhole Court

ETA 2023: most of the posts here are from 2013-2015. Some of them overlap with older drafts. Some answers have evolved over time, even if they haven’t been updated here. Most I haven’t changed my mind on, for better or worse. Take ‘em or leave ‘em, and good luck making sense of ‘em around all the drunk rambling and detours. One day if I have the energy I’ll just sort it into a coherent reference.

~~

Two sections here: the questions submitted by tumblr users, and a miscellaneous collection of stories & factoids pulled from the oft-neglected blog. The questions aren’t in any particular order, though I did try to organize them by subject matter. Ish. Once the dust is settled a bit I’ll try to find a better sorting system. Also, the tumblr tag I use for questions is http://korakos.tumblr.com/tagged/foxhole-court-questions-and-spoilers

Lots of spoilers for The Foxhole Court ahead!

✨My favorite AFTG moments and quotes✨

Disclaimer and spoiler warning!!!!!: These aren't all "famous moments" and I am aware some of those are most definitely missing. But, these are moments that made me laugh or had me wide-eyeing the book. They are personal favorites mostly but I hope it brings you a little joy as well. Spoiler warning: TGR is in this at the end too.

The Foxhole Court

- Chapter 4 - “I’m not a math problem” “But I’d still solve you”

- Chapter 4 - "You are a conundrum," Andrew said. "Thank you." "No, thank you," Andrew said as he slipped past Neil without a look back. "I need a new toy to play with." "I'm not a toy." "I guess we'll see."

- Chapter 8 - But desperation was a valuable lubricant (Yes, I took this out of context but it was too good)

The Raven King

- Chapter 5 - "You have a way of making people want to kill you," Andrew said.

- Chapter 7 - Kevin reacted the way Neil expected everyone would to the truth: with a horrified demand that Neil leave immediately. Andrew, though nodded in the face of it and told Neil to stay. He stood his ground when Neil asked him for murder and gave him a key to their house. But that didn't count, because Andrew was Andrew, and this was definitely the last turn he needed his thoughts to take. He dragged his attention back to the task at hand and vowed never to listen to Nicky again.

- Chapter 9 - When Neil started to argue, Andrew hooked a finger under his chin and forced his mouth closed again.

- Chapter 9- "Sometimes you're interesting enough to keep around. Other times you're so astoundingly stupid I can barely stand the sight of you."

- Chapter 12 - Betsy nodded but asked, "Where are Nicky and Kevin?" "Nicky tried to hug Andrew and almost got himself stalked with a kitchen knife," Wymack said. "Kevin was smart enough to get him out of here."

- Chapter 14 - "Don't you dare 'Coach?' me, you malfunctioning retard."

The King's Men

- Chapter 2 - "Is your learning curve a horizontal line?" Andrew asked.

- Chapter 2 - "I can walk," Neil said. "Proud of you," Wymack said. "Didn't ask."

- Chapter 3 - "I didn't think I was a personal problem. You hate me, remember?" "Every inch of you," Andrew said. "That doesn't mean I wouldn't blow you."

- Chapter 4 - "All right. I'm going out for a bit. Might be a while, so eat without me. Wish me luck?" "Luck," Neil said as Matt kissed her goodbye.

- Chapter 7 - "Ninety percent of the time the very sight of you makes me want to commit murder. I think about carving the skin from your body and hanging it out as a warning to every other fool who thinks he can stand in my way."

- Chapter 7 - "What about the other ten?" Neil asked. Andrew ignored that. "I warned you not to put a leash on me." "I didn't," Neil said. "You put that leash on yourself when you told me to stay no matter what. Don't be mad at me just because I was smart enough to pick up the other end of it."

- Chapter 7 - "Drama queen," Neil muttered.

- Chapter 8 - It was Friday, January 19th. Neil Josten was supposed to turn twenty on March 31st. Today Nathaniel Wesninski turned nineteen years old. (This one is personal. I apparently share a birthday with Nathaniel HAHA)

- Chapter 8 - "And I need you to derail that one-track fucking mind of yours for two seconds."

- Chapter 8 - Nicky started to say something, but Andrew sparked his lighter an inch from Nicky's face in silent warning.

- Chapter 15 - Neil took a careful step toward them, trying to convey silent support and backup, but Katelyn was too afraid of Andrew to look at Neil. Andrew leaned forward to get in her face and jabbed a finger into her temple. "You are a tumor," he said. "I should have cut you out and thrown you away when you were still benign. Now it's too late, so here we are. Don't you dare fucking speak," Andrew said, voice savage, when Katelyn opened her mouth. Katelyn clamped her lips together and finally darted a terrified look at Neil. Andrew seized her chin and forced her attention back to him. "Do not ignore me. Your life hinges on how well you can listen. Can you listen?" - Chapter 17 - "You're crazy," Neil said to Andrew in an undertone. "This is news to no one." Andrew said.

- Epilogue - "Your close calls are getting old," Andrew said. "I thought you knew how to run." Neil affected confusion. "I thought you told me to stop running." "Survival tip: no one likes a smart mouth."

The Sunshine Court

- Chapter 1 - "That man is overdue for a high-speed, head-on collision."

- Chapter 3 - "He hasn't played a clean game in years," Keven admitted, "But he knows how to follow orders. If you tell him to submit, he will." "Literally the most awkward way you could've worded it," Jeremy said.

- Chapter 4 - "You're a better fit than I am," Jean said, a touch grumpily. "Unhinged optimist."

The Golden Raven

- Chapter 2 - "A single word is seldom rude enough to make a point."

- Chapter 2 - "Isn't that ridiculous?" "Most things about you are," Jean pointed out. Jeremy laughed. "Yeah, you're probably right. But Jean? I'm glad you're here, too. Our lives are better with you in them." "Mine would be better if you would stop talking."

- Chapter 5 - And while he couldn't remember how yogurt worked out, he knew she could correct him. (This sentence was just funny to me because the first 3 times I read "and while he couldn't remember how yogurt worked.")

- Chapter 6 - Jeremy couldn't help himself. "Must be nice, liking both. I bet it makes things easier." "Stop dyeing your hair. The bleach is rotting your brain." (As a pan/bisexual myself... Valid.)

- Chapter 7 - "Just heard the news - that's fantastic! We're so happy for him!!" Kevin's responds took only a minute: "Unexpected, if I'm being honest." Then, "Andrew would have burned the judge's house to the ground if he turned on Aaron. Maybe he knew that?" Jeremy idly wondered if that was a joke.

- Chapter 9 - "Filing that one under the list of things no one asked you," Andrew said as he lit up.

- Chapter 15 - Jean pressed a thumb to the bruises on Jeremy's throat. "His name." "I can't give you that," Jeremy said, scooting toward the edge of the bed. "I told you it was an accident. He was just worked up and drunk." "I don't believe you. Cat has never bruised Laila like this." "Maybe Laila's not as good with her tongue." ___ "I will tell her you said that."

- Chapter 17 - "You're very lucky they have me on a leash," he said in French. "You're in America," the striker said. "Speak English, you illiterate fuck."

Hey! As We know, Our Ravens have a lot of memorabilia. I figured that after the team's disbandment (💔) in 2007, it would be good to keep track of it all for archival purposes. Hold onto those items, they will for sure go up in price as time passes! (Or give them to me!). Let's start with Anniversary badges! There are three! Starting from when the team was founded in 1977, they were released every 10 years. 10th anniversary

My favourite one !!! 20th anniversary

30th anniversary

Yeah this one ..... looks unfortunate We missed the 4th anniversary in 2007 🥺 Okay now team logo badges! The logo went through a lo of changes over the years. 1977-1980 Our original Raven was designed by Tetsuji Moriyama himself!!!! That's something!!!! Right?

1981-1983 The next design is much more safe, it's cute how he holds the ball in his beak! 😳 ... yeah this was unfortunate choice as well. That's why it lasted barely 2 years.

1984-1985 Guys, Ravens were not a cult, I swear!

It's one of the more unusual logos. I wish they had kept it longer!

1986-1988 From three headed raven to three legged one! Meet Yatagarasu, a mythical crow from Shinto mythology! (Again, they are all so cool!!!).

1988-2007 Back to the basics! Personally I prefer the symmetrical logos more, but people seemed to be fine enough with this one, and so it stayed with us for better and worse.

Now last but not least, some miscellaneous badges! There are some very fun ones!

First of all, Evermore badge! It's badge given to all graduating Ravens, who aren't Ravens anymore (Which is all of Ravens ever existing, since the team is no more F)

This badge started fun tradition of ex players getting a raven skull tattooed on their left arm! I wonder if Jean got his?

Nevermore badge is twin of their previous one. This one was given to all Ravens who were on the lineup in 2007, when the team was disbanded. Nest ❤️ is cute little badge that was keeping our Ravens company during away games! Home sickness can get to anyone!

Evermore Stadium badge! It's cool (Have we finally agreed if it's a castle or not?)

Raven King memorabilia badge was made and distributed for all Ravens who played or trained with Riko. Anyone want to part with theirs? They refused to give me mine 😟.

Special thanks to @noomyart and @deadliestpieceontheboard for help with dates and spelling ! Look forward to more in future <3

"We gonna watch the ball drop? I want to make a wish"

"You make wishes on shooting stars," wymach said "new years are for resolutions"

[akumueclipse]

"I am going to love hurting you," Riko said, "like I loved hurting Kevin."

"You are one seriously fucked-up individual," Neil said.
