Every line from this fic lives rent free in my brain 24/7 🙌

Very much still getting to grips with how to actually make digital art and working out how to use the software the way I want. But I'm having a lot of fun doing it and made this of my favourite brothers this evening for a bigger YSUFT image I was working on, but I liked how reg turned out, so wanted to share 🥰 (pls ignore the clothes, the brushes stopped co-operating by the time I got there and I was too tired to figure out why)

the five hottest things a fictional man can be are 1. highly intelligent 2. terminally ill 3. emotionally unavailable 4. full of trauma and regrets 5. lying about their identity

[atterelia]

If you count Neil Jostens continual fight for his life as terminally ill, we're hitting all the checkboxes

[casszanova]

Them and their touches

[fraisaa]

i love seeing all the marauders fans slowly sinking in the aftg hole, we're all meant to have the same interests🤞🏻🤞🏻

Andrew really just went "why are these random ppl taking up your attention??" and tugged on Neil's hoodie AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Like yeah fuck you fbi agents everyone knows the boyfriend takes priority why were you still there

[pussyfootings]

andrew entertaining matt with the maserati - starting it up and not saying anything when matt stuck his hand in the door to look inside - is probably one of my favourite scenes in the king’s men. just because, to me, this feels like such a turning point for andrew

maybe he’s not friends with the upperclassmen. maybe he never will be. but he’s softened enough, even without even realising it, to not tell matt to leave it

he could’ve told him to go away, to use sarcasm or anything, but instead he just… let matt be. it feels like the bar might be on the floor, but that feels huge for andrew

guys. the family really IS starting to be found

i'm crying he's so normal he has no idea there's a mafia bird cult torture facility in west virginia

[sargent-major-jane]

that is a super valid question @umanta so yes you are absolutely correct it is a sports fiction story with a teammate romance there is just also a mafia bird cult torture facility in west virginia that is masquerading as a college sports team and several people die horribly as a result and the main character spends most of the series convinced he is about to be assassinated but he just loves playing sports so damn much that he decides he's not going to let the imminent threat of murder stop him from trying to win championships with the power of friendship

[umanta]

WHAT

#the POV character is often kind of blase about the whole “on the run from the mob” element and just kind of accepts death and is like#well im gonna die anyway so i might as well also win championships on my way out! and then mostly thinks about the sports and his not-bf#and treats a lot of the book like more of a found family sports fiction with both romance and occasionally murder interfering with practice#normal college athlete behavior honestly

WHAT

AFTG is a very good example of narrator bias, because if we didn’t get a book from Jean and Jeremy’s POVs we would have no way of knowing the world does not actually in fact revolve around one Andrew Minyard

[aftgscenes]

It’s so funny going from Neil’s asexual pov to jeans definitely NOT asexual pov

Neil: Kevin is tall and has a tattoo

Jean: pretty boy with a soft smile and beautiful green eyes

Neil: Renee is a women and has hair

Jean: a force of hope and beauty, an anomaly in a world that’s ugly and bleak. She is the sun.

Neil: Jeremy is the captain of the Trojans and he smiles a lot for some reason

Jean: his bleach blonde hair frames his tanned freckled skin, his broad shoulders and tiny waist give way to his thicc thighs and ass

But also the reverse

Neil: Andrews strong unwavering frame and honey colored eyes

Jean: the tiny goalkeeper

my lovesss

[monarch-of-altamira]

Coach Rhemann: I don’t know how to get Jean to trust me. I mean, even after he broke down in my arms and I took him to my home to sleep after decking a guy to defend him, I don’t think he trusts me.

Jean, internally: Father?? nods to himself Father

[atterelia]

Fathers 😭

[atterelia]

Someone get Jean Moreau a fruit basket PLEASE

[ekkka70]

Jean with a peach was not on my TGR bingo card but it’s currently the only thing keeping me sane

[atterelia]

Published book recommendations for a Marauders fan? Struggling to read anything other than fanfiction (which I'm all for, but would like to expand a bit!) I LOVED aftg series, but started so many books recently that I'm just not that into!

On the aftg hype ❤️
