Apparently traumatised kids often fail to grow to normal height because all the energy goes to surviving and well no fucking wonder twinyards and Neil are so short

[iambeetle]

Do you think that Neil ever gets worried that Andrew will actually get bored of him eventually?

Like maybe after practice one day he'll be rambling to Andrew about exy plays and how the practice could've gone better. He stops mid sentence as he realizes he has been talking about the same thing for five days now. He goes quiet as he searches his brain for a new thing to ramble about to keep Andrew interested. To keep himself interesting.

But then Andrew says, "keep going, I'm listening" and Neil's face lights up as he continues his rant.

Andrew doesn't really listen to the words Neil is saying, he just listens to Neil's voice because the sound of it is comforting and grounding. Andrew will never get bored of Neil or Neil's rants because he could never get bored his voice.

[jeannemaybedarc]

Do you remember the moment when Andrew got off the pills, returned to the foxes and realized that Neil was not a figment of his imagination because of the pills?

And I'm late again, but happy birthday, Neil Josten!

[sepulchralblues]

Just. Neil pressing Andrew gently into the mattress and whispering into his skin, “you are the best thing that’s ever been mine.” Kissing his stomach and looking into his eyes, watching the burned gold hazy with lust, as Andrew swallows hard against his too-dry throat.

Not sure if u actively read aftg fics but that twilight fanart has inspired so many fics in the last days 😂 I've seen a minimum of 4 new twilight au fics which has me dyinggggg

Who would be Jacob? Kevin probably right? 😂😂

I'm currently not reading aftg fics because I'm a sponge and I want to finish posting my own before I resume with the regularly scheduled program. But I love that the fanart started a trend 😂 deserved.

Kevin as Jacob is sending me out.

Kevin hugging Neil inside a tent and defiantly looking at Andrew sitting in front of them because Neil is freezing and Kevin is the only warm body around ajksdfhlasdjfls

Andrew fucking off to Columbia and Neil sitting on a chair staring out the window for three emo months until Kevin shows up without a shirt on

Kevin teaching Neil how to have fun play exy while Andrew is away

Neil falls and bleeds a little, Kevin rushes to him and strips half-naked so he can clean the blood off

If anyone from the monsters vampire group has to say that Kevin stinks of dog waste I want it to be Aaron

The rest of the team is part of the werewolves and can telepathically hear how much Kevin is obsessed with exy and Neil. They tease him endlessly about it

Andrew "And so the lion fell in love with the pipe dream" Minyard

Neil keeps on giving mixed signals while also being adamant that he won't leave Andrew, and Kevin throws a tantrum and says that he will go and die in the next match so Neil can be free of him. Neil reasonably kisses him in response

Kevin loses it because Neil and Andrew will have sex but Andrew's dick will very likely kill Neil

Neil and Andrew have their happy ending and adopt a child

Kevin gets his happy ending too because he imprints on their child 🤦

[wickedwitchofthewesninski]

I have seen a few RockBand!AU fanart and fanfic with Andrew being a guitarist or bassist and I say WRONG

HE WOULD TOTALLY BE A DRUMMER

He has the strength to hit things for a long time, and we know he does a lot of arm workout. He's wide at the shoulders and arms because he always tries to appear bigger than he is (and once he realised in highschool that he could only grow wider, he decided to really lean into it) (no I will not elaborate on it being a trauma response) and we know he has amazing reflexes and very quick responses, not only because of exy but also because of Renee's sparring.

But even more importantly, the drum sets the rhythm of the song. It's usually not very prominent (depends on the group, tbh) but it's essential to a good rock song, and (imo) it's the support, the basis from which songs are created. It's very difficult to create a song without a basic beat (I would say impossible).

And that defines Andrew to a T: the heavy hitter that supports the group and gives them the security to grow and become great.

So yeah, Andrew is a drummer

I was asked to write some of my sad headcanons on Jean and Kevin's relationship by @thelittlelostgraycat so here we go:

The first thing that comes to mind when I think about this dynamic is this really silly scenario. Doing grocery shopping, you have this great idea. You're going to make crepes for breakfast the next day. It's the weekend after a really long week, and you're feeling like having something nice, you know. So you stock up on all the ingredients. But then when it comes to it you stayed up late that night, binging your currently favourite series, and you get up later than usual and you're not really in the mood to stand in front of the pan for half an hour before you get to eat something. So, dismayed or not, you kill off the hunger with something quick and easy and get on with the day's plans. Then the next week comes and since you work long hours obviously you don't have the time for it either. By the time you remember, you really wanted to eat pancakes some time has passed. But you're excited again because that's what we are like with the things we love. The joy is always there even when we aren't doing those things. So you go take the pan out, the flour and bowl. You open the fridge and see you only have one egg left. That's a problem. You forgot to stock up, but well. It's still possible to make pancakes with one egg. You'll just have thinner batter. Then you get lit the milk and here's the problem, it expired. The dismay is pretty monumental for such a small tragedy. You taste it, just to make sure, and yeah, it's terrible you feel like retching. And the thing is, you could still make the pancakes. You could run to the store, but it was never really about being hungry. It was about the sentiment, and now you remember how if you made them in the first place, this wouldn't happen, and you wasted a whole carton of milk on a fancy you couldn't even commit to.

And that's how I see Kevin and Jean. It's love and it's sentiment and it's something really deep. But when push comes to shove it's always too little, too late. Too little words said, an apology wasted on a cold argument. Too much hassle, too much risk, too much grief if it goes wrong. Let's leave things as they are. It's not good but it'd stable. Too little time, between Riko and training and the dreams of freedom and illusions of grandour and the pain, all that pain and gore. It all ends up coming first.

But there's love, and I don't necessarily mean it as romantic love, although it could be. There's love, there's a whole language built around it. It's words of affirmation in a language no one else can understand. It's small tokens of care, small enough not to be put to an end by someone else, but meaningful enough to make the heart soar like they can touch the blue sky above the tomb they grew up in. It's stolen moments of peace, because both their hearts are for once free of worry when it's just the two of them together - noone there to harm them, noone to make them watch as the other suffers. It's time spent practising, not because they aren't good enough, but because when it's them they can freely love the sport they play. It's a shoulder to lean on and a body that keeps you warm, and that will never take more what you offer it.

But it's always too little and too late to grow into something defined. It's a safe chrysalis that makes the caterpillar endure, but there's no surety, no promises. As much as the chrysalis helps, the caterpillar transform, thr butterfly has to break out of it to fly. So no, it's not enough to last.

They care deeply for each other, but Kevin leaves Jean in the Nest. And Jean could hate him, could resent him, but he doesn't - because he understands when you have a chance you need to take it because life is cruel and it doesn't smile at you twice. He understands that he would probably do the same. It still hurts.

I think Kevin doesn't have many regrets bigger than leaving Jean behind. He still does it, though. But if he didn't, the story wouldn't happen. If he didn't, the whole chain reaction would not be set in motion, so he can't fix it, but he can be better from there on. He starts by getting Jean to a place as far from the Nest as humanly possible. In the hands of the person he holds in the highest esteem.

And that's fear, but that's also love.

Jean's new Jersey number is a 29 for both Kevin and Renee. So I think he understands, I think he doesn't hold a grudge. He starts to pick up his phone and sometimes even calls him himself, even if to trashtalk the team he knows Kevin is also watching play back in his dorm in Palmetto right now.

So they couldn't commit to it then, when there was nothing to lean on. But would it really be too little too late?

Classic Heavy and Classic Pyro are married. Evil power couple, they love doing their work together.

Slay

[niileaf]

TFC Heavy x TFC Pyro headcanons? I love them

Tried my best!! Had to re read some tf2 comic panels and wikis☠️

Probably still ooc but kinda funny..

TFC Heavy x TFC Pyro

• sadistic fucks doing sadistic stuff as a date

• before Gray Mann took over, they definitely stayed together as a duo of mercs

• they do old people stuff together too, like knitting, crosswords puzzles, sudokus..

• they have an apartment together, they throw pebbles at people passing by

• the tv went through the window one night when they were mad

• they slow dance together when listening to the radio

• TFC Heavy mixed up toothpaste and TFC Pyro's foot cream

I hope you still like those anyway 😭

Wymack, Bee, Nicky and Kevin are so underrated in regards to how fundamentally they helped Andrew. Without them Andrew would never have anyone to even take a chance at him. Without Wymack, he wouldn’t have college and exy, without nicky he wouldn’t even have a “home”, without Bee, Andrew’s mental state would have been way way worse, and without Kevin, Andrew wouldn’t have a purpose.

Neil may be the catalyst and Andrew’s main reason to actually live. But these four people (and Aaron) are Andrew’s cornerstones, his foundation, are what’s holding him up before Neil josten even existed.

[jeannemaybedarc]

Kevin x Aaron

[feelingthedisaster]

little hc that andrew knows the exy regulations book word by word (yk, edeitic memory) but pretends to not know the rules until one day kevin says something that is slightly incorrect, a miniscule error no one else would recognize, so andrew goes "well, actually..." and qoutes the rule, just to make him mad

[walkingcorpse03]

i fell to my knees in kmart

[little2nerdy]

during the off-season and after he retires neil is one of those people that just does every single fun run, marathon, race, etc. that he can find, even some of the big ones like the Boston Marathon or the New York City marathon - just for fun

sometimes the original foxes show up if they’re in a city nearby to cheer him on, andrew is always there in the background looking incredibly pissed off but he’s always so proud of neil at the end because even though Neil is running, he always comes back to him

[lemonboyjosten]

it was incredibly poetic of nora to begin andreil’s storyline with andrew hitting neil with a racquet and ending it with andrew protecting neil from being hit with a racquet.
