#tsc2 WHEN.

[blablablabla-ur-mom]

it's all fine and dandy until you remember what happened the last time the main love interest got a backstory drop in book 2

[d4rkshad0w]

waiting for the day that Jeremy’s “you’re my partner” means something different than what it means right now

[afurtivecake]

can't remember if i've talked about this before but my personal theory is that the foxes and the ravens recruit the same kind of people. the only difference is socioeconomic status. and criminal records. i.e. people who join the ravens are just as fucked up as the foxes, but on paper, they come from relatively privileged homes so they don't appear to be fucked up. kids from abusive families that hide their abuse better, kids with socially stigmatized mental health issues and drug problems that are flying under the radar because their parents are too busy with their careers to notice, kids who had problems with the law, but no criminal records thanks to their parents' money...

because like, traumatized kids with Issues that no one around them is addressing, plus a poor relationship with their family, plus lower social skills, might really see the appeal of joining a team that gets them away from their families, offers them structure and companionship and tells them that there's nothing wrong with them and that they're special. they'd be pretty easy to exploit. maybe their families are even glad to ship their problem child off to a college that will give them a useful business degree and put them on the best college exy team in the country (doesn't matter if their kid goes pro or not - that would look great on their resume).

i like the idea of tetsuji and wymack recruiting from a very similar, or possibly even the same pool of highschool athletes with problems. i like the idea of them being in competition for some of the same students, but having wildly different approaches for how they treat their players.

how do I stop thinking about Jeremy Knox. like genuinely this man has been churning around in my head 24/7 for the past three weeks its too much i cant take it anymore

[avocadohass]

I will be living out my life and suddenly Im like "wow we actually got the trojan/jerejean sequel"

Because for years it was such a crack random thought, a truly hopeless dream because in the main series there were absolutely NO HITS.

It was just a wild manifestation of a bunch of fans that REALLY loved side characters, and I can say it because after reading aftg in 2016 my favorite character was fucking Jeremy, so I know what I'm talking about it okey.

I been in a state of shock since it was announced, and even after I read it, that just now while we wait for the golden raven it just hit me like we actually getting a trojan trilogy A JEREJEAN TRILOGY LIKE????

I remember I found out about jerejean after reading the jean extra content, and thinking that he needed something good in his life and immediately seeing that people ship him with Jeremy, a character who he never interact with in canon but was probably gonna in the future and I was like "that makes so much sense" and this was when there were like barely fics of them

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I cannot believe that saying "the trojan sequel" isn't synonyms of impossible dream anymore

[problemduetest4life]

Look, everyone see's Jeremy as this "golden boy" right? And if his deep dark secret was public Jean would know about it because Kevin would know about it. So, my assumption is that whatever scandal it is has been covered up by his family with hush money/connections whatever, hence why he has to stay there during the week. They still have this thing to hold over his head.

(ofc part of me still things it's sibling death related just bc that's sort of a common theme in TSC)

ANYWAYS! If it does go the scandal root I want it to be SOOO SCANDALOUS

Give me Jeremy getting caught sucking dick at the banquet. Give me Jeremy with a "habit." Give me Jeremy wrapped up in the wrong crowd his Freshmen year and they cause a car crash. Give me a felony, give me a "fuck the police," give me the drama.

[aglionbyacademia]

ofc Jeremy is an English major you gay little freak I love you

[foxstens]

we've talked about what would happen if kevin died pre-canon or at the end of the third book

but what if he died during trk

Scrimbly Jacqueline 49/52: T-Posing to assert your dominance is definitely NOT how Jacqueline was envisioning taking down the Clifton Society.

Charlie heard the metal clicks again as something came shooting down from the opposite side of the room. He lunged, covering Jacqueline’s back as the strips came flying towards him. They hit his chest. He let out a whoosh of air from the impact, watching as they fell to the ground with a clatter. Surprised, Charlie pat his entire torso. "They don't work on me?" Two more hit his forearms, promptly falling to the ground. He shoved back his sleeves as best as he could. No shiny marks. “Oh!” Throwing his weight, he shoved Jacqueline to the side, switching places with her. “Charlie, don’t—” “It’s cool! They don’t work on me!” He stuck his arm out for emphasis, another one of the strips bouncing right off him. Jacqueline looked surprised. “Well, shit! That's handy." Colin sneered, the baton tip tap tapping several more spots around him. “You can’t hide behind your human friend forever!”  The pair of Legates heard the metal clanking fill the room as Lady knows WHAT armed all around them. Trying to make himself as big as possible, Charlie stood in front of Jacqueline, arms wide. "Yes she can!" Behind him, Jacqueline looked perplexed. She rolled her eyes with a huff, moving closer to Charlie. “We literally do not have time for this. Hang tight, Charles." And before Charlie could even form a reply, he felt himself be yanked down, snow blasting all around them as they fell towards the couch.

(You can read Part 2 of the Clifton Society Incident HERE and HERE)

Upon editing that behemoth, the MOMENT I realized Charlie was T-POSING IN THAT SCENE?!?!?!?1 I had to make it a scrimbly. I just. HAD to.

This was LAST WEEK'S! This week's is coming to you probably Saturday :)

[Husbando and I are going on an evening adventure to check out the geminid meteor shower outside of the city, so I'll probably get to posting it Saturday depending on how late we stay out--and if we can see anything given we're going in and out of cloud cover around here today! Also, uh, I was a wee bit bad, hehe. I doodled it at work today bc it's about that time chaps (i.e., exam season is waning and there is nobody on the floor but me and my coworker lmao) and they look SO CUTE 🥹🥹🥹]

This week's was ORIGINALLY going to be ANOTHER redraw, this time of THIS scrimbly, but man, Charlie and Jacqueline's shenanigans somehow managed to yeet Jacquie ogling Dite to the curb. WILDIN. Good thing this week's scrimble was a planned diteline, LOL.

Charlie LOOKED good in the sketch, but somehow the hair ended up "late 00s, early 2010s hat hair boy" and I am. Unamused. I've drawn WAY better Charlies, UGH. Gonna have to rewatch the movies, I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ oh nooooooooooooo 😼

[constelationprize]

That's it. I'm taking the "it's easier to remain heterosexual" line away from all of you until you learn how to behave.

[d4rkshad0w]

i love aftg soooo much, it’s very sad and tragic at times but it can also be heartwarming and funny, i’ve been in somewhat of a reading slump since i read those books and ive yet to read all of the extra content but i love reading hc’s and fics

[iam-anordinary-human-orami]

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.

catalina alvarez is everything to me. she's a lesbian. she rides a mothercycle. she is clumsy as hell. she cooks to stress relieve. she has improptu dance parties by herself. she hums while eating when she's happy. she knows her girlfriend so well to reach exatcly where laila "lost" the remote. she named her queer friend group "the floozys". lesbian in stem. loml. cannot wait for more of her in tsc2

[kevjeanyves]

i have completely convinced myself that in tsc2, after kevin and jean do that interview to salvage jean’s reputation, kevin is going to get drunk. that’s his only coping mechanism and that interview is going to be very difficult for him—being so close to jean will be difficult, talking about the ravens will be difficult, talking about riko’s death will be nearly impossible

jean knows nothing about kevin’s alcoholism. when they were close, kevin had never drank in his life (“ravens don’t drink”). if kevin gets drunk in front of him, he’s going to handle it very badly. it will be so startling for him, because kevin has changed. in both good and bad ways, kevin has changed from when jean used to know him. and jean doesn’t know the drunken version of kevin and he’d also be upset from the interview. and they’d probably get into an argument

idk…i think it would be interesting…kind of neat…yk

[catzalvarez-backup]

they're what happens when Orpheus doesn't look back and Eurydice does make it out, but they're both irrevocably changed, puzzle pieces warped at edges that no longer fit together

something something Kevin and Jean are Orpheus and Eurydice etc etc

< prev part | next part >

the trojans social media au (pt. 5): okayyy soooo let me start by saying i’m a fraud tumblr user and i’ve been stalking for so many years instead of posting so idk how everything works and what the tumblr dynamic is when it comes to interacting but during my previous posts some things have been brought to my attention

first of all @fanthyng-mego mentioned this:

so in reality i just forgot to turn on the checkmark button 😭😭 but i truly like your version better where neil earned his checkmark by being a menace.

still i’ve turned on the checkmark for everyone who i perceive as being verified so yeah

also @tara-the-star said this:

so shawn isn’t an oc. he was mentioned by name only in the book (like what? 3 or 4 times? idk). jeremy mentioned he studies communication, so yeah. i’m pretty sure he hasn’t actually said anything tho, but since i wanted this au to be more focused on the trojans instead of the foxes i tried to include some of the background characters :)

i did have to come up with my own characteristics for shawn tho (i didn’t expect it to go this far 😭) but it could easily turn out that nora will include him in tsc2 and my characteristics get lost on me and i’ll look like a loser LMAOOO

the same goes for all the other unfamiliar characters :) everyone should be named by name at least once in the sunshine court

so yeah. i guess i just really wanted to point those two things out :) i’m a fraud on tumblr and actually don’t even know how to use the app properly and i didn’t know if i replied to the reblog it’d just end up under my own post instead of the reblog so yeah…. hope this is okay
