#the golden raven

[elene78-blog]

I know we all want to see Jean's healing and the Jerejean flourishing, and his evolution, but... I also want to see Jean Moreau very angry. Very very angry. I want something to click in his head and he messes it up. I want the Ravens to think "Who is this guy? Have we really been pissing him off for the last 5 years? Uh-oh..."

I said it once. Jean is a wolf who has been made to believe that he is a beaten poodle with no teeth. When he realizes what they have done to him, he will be a rabid wolf.

I stand by strong, independent Jean but honestly my boy deserves a break I want Jeremy to become a hitman in the golden raven and kill everyone who ever hurt him

[deeppenguinstudent]

Honestly wondering if Jeremy's lack of proper intimacy (at least in the terms of relationships) and Jean's absolute desperation for intimacy will clash in the next books

[detectivebambam]

what if during Jean's interview he says something about how mean/bad/whatever the other Ravens were and people start calling him "the golden raven" sarcastically because what are the odds that they were that bad and he was the only good one? he's just playing the victim. and such and such

They have such a hold over me it's not even funny

is there a release date?

[adamsrcnan]

you know what would be really funny. if someone on campus or in jean's classes went up to jean and was like "what's with you and knox?" bc they start noticing that wherever jean is, jeremy is. and jean just gives them a hard stare and is like "jeremy is my partner" (emphasis on the jeremy bc he doesn't like to be called knox) and so this random student is like "oh. oohhh."

then a couple days later one of jeremy's none exy friends (bc he definitely has classmates) is like "so i heard you and that french dude on your team are dating. how did that happen?" and jeremy's like mid sip of a drink and just does a spit take and starts choking bc "d-dating??" (he wishes)

need everyone to understand the comedic potential of kevin day finding out his ex-situationship and celebrity crush are dating.

I really want a scene like this in tsc2 where Neil seems to call Jean more often to check up on him and the floozies are perplexed "Why is Josten calling you?" "You guys close or sth?" "You still haven't told us what happened when he whisked you away" "we are worried sick Jean, how can you keep us in the dark?" And then Cat will say sth like "are you not sharing what you're talking to Josten about cause you're embarrassed?" Jeremy being a worried mother hen "is he bothering you?" And Jean keeps shutting everything down telling them not to worry, and then Laila as a joke says "is he flirting with you?"

And Jean responds with "I hope not. I don't think his boyfriend would take it well"

Everyone immediately stops what they are doing. "Im sorry, his WHAT?"

All hell breaks lose. Cat is shaking Laila "Josten is FRUITY?!", Jeremy is like "He has a boyfriend?" Laila being like "in the year that he joined the foxes and almost died in the hands of his serial killer dad, he got a boyfriend??? How???" And then Cat and Laila start asking questions, Jeremy trying to calm them down but also being curious, Jean is like "Well he's not told me explicitly, but it's obvious."

Jeremy having an epiphany "oh my god. Is it Kevin?" Cat in the background "oh please let it be Kevin" Jean says no, "Kevin is too much of a coward", the floozies are looking at each other like "oh we are definitely unpacking THAT at some point". And then they're like okay, well maybe the boyfriend is not on the team. But Jean confirms, it's a fox, i can tell u who it is-' "NO! We need to figure this one out!" "Let our gaydar do the work Jean we got things to prove!" Jean tiredly: "to who?"

So they start guessing, oh Hemmick is undeniably fruity, Jean is like "I don't even know who that is. Oh, backliner? No, not him". "Maybe it's Boyd?!" Cat being like "Escandalo! Cause he's with the captain right? Wilds?" Laila commenting "He'd be out of his mind to pass on that, and this is the educated opinion of a lesbian", Jean is like "how come u guys know all their names?" Jeremy says "they are a small team and it's hard not to keep tabs on them when they are in the news cycle every week or so"

"Guys we're losing track, keep your heads locked in! Who could be Josten's boyfriend, that tonight's pressing question!" "But there's no one else... wait, is he with the other backliner? Short blonde?" "I'm gonna be honest, I don't get queer vibes from him" "Lol can u imagine it's actually the goalkeeper twin" "what the one that went to juvie and looks like hes one step away from biting our heads off on the court? Nahh". Jean looks at an invisible camera like he's in the office.

And then something happens and they forget about it, until like the winter banquet or some shit and Cat is intently looking at Neil trying to decipher who his boyfriend could be, maybe he is in a throuple with Wilds and Boyd? Jean is like "Why are you looking at the foxes' table so intently?" "It's investigative work, don't worry about it" and then Neil comes over and takes Jean away at the open bar to talk about sth, the floozies are pretending to not be looking at them. Neil notices and he's like "I see they taken claim already." Jean responds with "It's not what u think" and they talk, Andrew probably gets bored at some point and goes to Neil, puts a single hand on his lower back and Jean being able to hear commotion in the Trojans table turns to see them acting like "normal", except their poses look rehearsed, there's drinks that have been spilled on the table and Cat is drinking from an empty glass looking at the sky.

Name one other fandom where the fan shipped two characters so damn hard that even the author was like “you know what? You guys are right, let me write THREE hole ass books abt them, you’re welcome”.

[andrew-03-minyard]

sometimes I remember how neil told the readers the truth throughout the books and how jean accidentally just spews out his trauma and experiences and then I want to shake jeremy like a snow globe until he starts spilling what is up with him

Hey hey hey hey...

What if Jeremy Knox is an FBI infiltrator? We wouldn't expect that in a thousand years.

[bisexualchaosdemon]

Honestly, Jean being so good at English is a fucking miracle.

Wdym he learned two languages in just a few years while suffering physical and psychological abuse on an insane training schedule that left him severely sleep deprived?? And, presumably, he learned his third language using his second language, because French was forbidden.

Between that, and starting university at sixteen? Jean-Yves Moreau is a genius, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

The Golden Raven

I've been thinking about drawing this ever since Nora mentioned that this would be the name of the second book. I'm happy that I finally got around to drawing it, but Jean is in my head more than ever (not that that's a problem).

Jeremy Knox is an English major. He shows up at the airport to pick up a new team member in a bright red sweatshirt and golden shorts, with a yo-yo and wired earbuds. “A little honesty? That’s just a mite bit hecked up,” he tells this new team member. He’s captain of the second-best Exy team, and second only to a college run by the mob. He dyes his hair blond, then relaxes enough to let his roots grow out. He’s adopted a cardboard golden retriever, now a de facto member of the household. He likes ceramics class. When he takes his new housemate shopping, he’ll be damned if he puts him in black and red, but if that’s what he feels safest in, Jeremy would back his decision wholeheartedly.

Jeremy Knox is an English major. “Speaking of playing around,” he says, fishing out a board game—“shall we see what kind of trouble we can get into?”
