#the great riko roast

[kevindayscrown]

"Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless Daddy Issues™️ all the time."

My man Neil really said, "I'm dragging you down with me," with no hesitation. He made up a whole lie just to spite Riko, and I think that's beautiful.

The Great Riko Roast's intials being GRR is very funny to my 4am trippy brain rn ;( $/

Someone please! I will pay you! 😂

Every once in a while I'm blindsided by the fact that Nicky brought a date to the first banquet. What was Jim from improv thinking when they sat down across the table from the Ravens. What went through his head during the Great Riko Roast. Did he know how iconic that moment was? Does he know how privileged he was to witness that??? Jim from improv please I have QUESTIONS.

call chapter 14 the great roast of riko cause damn Neil wasn't letting him breathe like one hit after the other I'm not scared of knives I'm the butcher's son PAM Kevin tried to tame me but it didn't take PAM you're not part of the family, you're the cast off PAMPAM like if I had been riko I would've stopped talking but that's just me cause how are you getting your ass metaphorically handed to you AND YOU KEEP TRYING AND YOU KEEP FAILING???

this may be controversial but i feel like aftg would make for such a great tv adaptation bc idk why i feel like it would translate so well to screen??? like bc it's sports asw and there's that physical element to it i feel like it would go so well. and i also feel like neil's narration is very like direct and just straight up tells the readers exactly what's happening and there isn't too much internal monologuing so it wouldn't be that hard to adapt. oh and also bc i need to see the scene where kevin switches hands on a screen. and all the riko roasts™ I NEED IT

Reasons why you should read the aftg (all for the game) series:

1. Vvv strong on found family, will make your insides gooey and want to cry

2. One of the healthiest relationships between two of the brightest red flags ever seen

3. A vv hate-able character, the kind you can't stand, who you'll grow to love in a not-normal way

4. Multiple vv hate-able characters who you'd want rotting dead in a pit

5. Beautiful trauma and beautiful violence which increases as you read further, oof

6. Neil is my son, he's an unreliable narrator and a pathological liar who is very observant but also painfully oblivious, very tactful and clever but also dumb af

7. The author is equally deranged as her books lol (kidding, ily Nora)

8. Did I mention everyone has trauma? So much trauma, so so much

9. You've heard of "I can fix them" but have you heard of "they are perfect everyone else is a loser so I'm gonna fix everyone else for them"

10. Perfect pacing

11. Best father figure to ever father figure (said father figure will deny it)

12. The Great Riko Roast, that's it

13. Features an absolutely unhinged and chaotic and violent co-ed sport

14. So many goosebumps-evoking moments, you'll feel the chill down your spine so many times esp in the second and third books

15. Queer, including the mc who is asexual

also!! what's you favorite part of the Riko Roast, specifically?

Oooh god it’s hard to narrow down, but I think “Pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago.”

Because Riko sees himself as this great untouchable King. He views the foxes as lower than dirt. So, to have Neil say they pity him is a devastating blow and fucking hilarious

- Neil josten every time he goes out in public

Nora, visibly sweating as I stand in the corner of her room: h

Me: You know, I get it. Writing the aftg series must have been really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in the fandom thinking your extra content is worth a damn— yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate plot issues all the time. I know it’s not entirely your fault you gave aaron the personality of pissed on card board and no redemption arc, and I know you’re physically incapable of allowing andreil to say ‘I love you’, but I don’t think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. Writing the books only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up when you said Andrew never heals. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone.

Edit: it’s a joke oh my god. I refuse to delete this bc it’s almost like you can make a joke and not mean anything by it.

Not ME forgetting the great Riko roast.

Damn I forgot how much Neil really pops off

[starsailores]

i turned my playlist name into a meme and have no regrets.

[crows-murder]

Screw everyone else, I just want to know if Jim from Nicky's improv class is having a good day. I hope hes still reminiscing having witnessed Neil absolutely obliterate Riko in front of everyone.
