oh my small wooden bear with a red beret :(

[sammigy]

forever thinking about how important names are in the aftg universe… like neil and nathaniel obviously but also jean and jean-yves (or johnny), renee and natalie, dan and hennessey, andrew having been referred to as andrew “doe” for most of his childhood, jeremy asking people to not call him by his last name… like damn

[simonsrosebud]

jean: grayson bad👎🏼

neil: hey uncle stuart u know anyone who does local work?

jean: *hm i wonder what kinda work he’s looking for*

5 hours later

jean: 😦

I see you, Jean, but who is more of a loser - this guy or the guy still thinking he's hot?

jean taking care of kevin when riko destroyed his hand (extra content) vs kevin checking out the injuries of jean’s hand after leaving the nest (the sunshine court)

I am not the same I was before thinking about these parallels. For so long, they were the only ones they could trust, having an almost achingly sad rutine just to make sure the other one is still alive, that everything can be put together again. The familiarity with which Kevin checks out Jean’s hand is enough to make me sob if I think about it too much.

FIRST CANON IRL INTERACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do they know that people have been fantasising about this for over a decade. Can they feel the tension.

[unbelievably-sane]

Neil refusing to change clothes in front of people because the scars are not normal - Jean outright changing in front of others because the scars are none of their business

Neil I'm-Fine Josten - Jean I-deserve-it Moreau

Neil being surprised when Nicky calls him a friend - Jean calling Jeremy, Cat and Laila friends instead of teammates

Neil being given a key by Andrew - Jean being given a key by Jeremy

Neil's shitty father and questionable mother - Jean's shitty parents

Still early to tell but the vibes Jeremy’s grandfather gives me after reading the book is a cross between the grandfather in We Were Liars and Logan Roy. I think the competition was fierce and Jeremy was winning. I think his little brother couldn’t stomach the pressure and killed himself. I think losing with kindness is so much better in Jeremy’s mind than winning ruthlessly because he’s paid the price once already.

Jean Moreau really is still a baby

the fact that jeans knee jerk reaction to fear/panic is to literally just tear his skin apart is ripping me to shreds… i think this boy has bitten himself or clawed himself bloodied 6 times already and im only 133 pages in.

Neil’s first reaction to seeing Jean’s bruises from Grayson attacking him being to order a hit on him (express!) regardless of the cost…I love this man

(god the overall dynamic between them!!! they barley know each other but they clearly have just an inherent care for one another??? oh so lovely)

kevin refusing to teach nicky french (the foxhole court) vs jean refusing to teach jeremy french (the sunshine court)

Listen, I know that Kevin refusing to teach Nicky might be just because it would serve no purpose while playing Exy so he doesn't even think about it (though why did it matter to Kevin that Jean taught him french when he didn't need it is a good question),

But I like to think that both Kevin and Jean refusing to teach other people something that was only theirs is their way to keep whatever they had alive, to hold onto each other when they can't do it physically.

(I do think Jean is going to inevitably be teaching Jeremy french at some point but, I was rereading the books yesterday and this just hit me)
