She/Her 21 "Keep Kevin's name out of your ignorant mouth"

[queenconsort]

oh waiter more fics that highlight kevriko codependency please

[queenconsort]

this feels like a lukewarm take but i really love how it’s implied (if not outright stated, i can’t remember) that kevin was made to be so unlikeable in the eyes of the other ravens because if kevin is the bitchy diva then riko is the likable one. riko can be the reasonable one, can act just as annoyed as the rest of them, roll his eyes and act the victim. and having kevin be the “common enemy” gives them all someone to bond over hating yknow

"Kevin Day isnt a main character" tell that to Kevin and all his radiating main character energy then. He is a main character to ME!!!!

[chaoticgremelin]

Somebody go warn Nora then, bc Kevin is literally getting books in his POV😭

[bellonabells]

Like why do we gotta wait for his books to treat him like a main character be fr 💀.

My hopes for TBC:

pre-romance cuddling (with their hearts beating out of their chests of course)

Jean initiates the first kiss by asking, Jeremy is the one who actually does it (boy has never romanced anyone let him be a little nervous I beg)

first kiss is in Jeremy's POV (I NEED to hear his disbelief at how different it is from everyone else IN the moment not just after)

dry humping scene (bonus if Jean comes in his pants)

incredibly long Neil+Andrew+Kevin cameo (I miss them)

any sign that Kevin and Jean will be able to be real friends again (I refuse to believe they can't be) plus some cute Kevin and Jeremy moments (they're friends and they care about each other so much)

Jeremy frees himself from his family and ends the book happy as hell (he's precious and he deserves to realize it)

more importantly, JAB ends the book happy as hell (I've read too many books where the dog only exists to die. I will burn the book if that happens)

And now a few.... somewhat bitchy ones:

the Trojans do NOT get a red card (it would ruin everything they stand for)

Elodie is NOT somehow alive (dumbest theory I've seen in a long time)

Jeremy does NOT relapse (he'd literally never forgive himself and he can't take any more guilt right now)

Jean is NOT talked into "loosening up" with drugs or alcohol (he's right. that shit's poison. why do people think healing has to involve poison?*)

*It worked for Neil because his objection to alcohol was the loss of control, and him agreeing to drink was a show of safety and trust. Jean's objections to substances as a whole are health based and from seeing what drinking is doing to Kevin (as well as what cocaine did to Jeremy in the past) and neither of those will change because he's safe now, or because he trusts people. All that shit is still poison and it's still a terrible coping mechanism and if he doesn't want to touch it, he's not only valid but correct

[trash-tzar]

Literally no bigger AFTG ick than when Kevin is belittled and punished for not being a perfectly agreeable abuse victim after living in hell on earth for 10+ years

[bellonabells]

Amazing how we cant discuss the foxes being cruel to kevin in tkm (BECAUSE THEY ABSOLUTELY WERE WAY MORE HORRIBLE TO HIM IN THAT BOOK THEN THE OTHERS FOR SOME REASON???) without apparently "sanitizing" kevins character??? Lmao ppl talk all the time about how awful the upperclassmen were to Andrew but god forbid day fans talk about Kevin. That comment about hitting him where it wont show was so fucking cruel

[bellonabells]

"Kevin Day isnt a main character" tell that to Kevin and all his radiating main character energy then. He is a main character to ME!!!!

[twinyardz]

the foxes finding out that wymack is kevin’s father in tkm is such a genuine ragebait chapter. i forget every time until i read it again how infuriating it is: ‘neil heard matt utter a low warning not to strike kevin where it’d leave a mark’. like broooo

[juicegremlin]

andrew minyard never skips therapy. his best friend is a born-again knife-wielding christian ex-gangster. his other best friend is a 6'2" lacrossehockey prodigy/recovering alcoholic with a face tattoo. he doesn't smile. his situationship got him to stop doing drugs by buying him a maserati. he didn't meet his own twin brother until they were fifteen years old. he's been to jail. he is five feet even. he's the best goalie in the league and he couldn't care less. he gets in the shower fully clothed to give neil josten a blowjob. he's a chainsmoking pro athlete. he's getting a criminal justice degree as a joke. he picked the guy with a dozen fake names and a mafioso daddy to be with forever. he's a scorpio. the closest thing he's ever had to a father is his college exy coach. he loves hot chocolate and ice cream and clubbing with his cousin.

andrew minyard character of all time.

sweet boys to print on cards

[tactiletelekonesis]

ngl i really hate when people tag posts about neil josten as “nathaniel wesninski” when its not even like. a raven au or anything. has nothing to do with his childhood either. and on their own original posts. what the fuck are you even doing? neils name is significant and hed HATE you calling him nathaniel. like the whole point of him being neil is that neil is the name and life he wants. he DOESNT want to be nathaniel wesninski. the only time his narration refers to him that way is when he has hit rock bottom and nearly died and thinks his time as neil is over. you dont need to use nathaniel when youre talking about him!!! did you even read the books???? id block the tag but then id miss out on posts about neil so i cant!!! why are you doing this!!!! his name is neil!!! leave nathaniel buried in baltimore with his father!!!! fuck!!!!!!!!

"theyll hate you for this" "but theyll be alive" is THE juiciest thing to me

[honeyscomet]

i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive

Bonus:

A silly Andreil comic I did in April! Andrew letting his imagination get away from him 💔

[moreauver]

neil thinking about his mom while andrew is literally pinning him to the ground and making out with him is crazy btw

[jester-nonconforming]

btw i love when dubcon is used in fiction as a way to explore characters. i love when characters don’t understand how to “properly” ask for consent because they have never had their consent respected in their lives. i love when traumatized adult characters make potentially unwise choices about what to do with their bodies because they have the autonomy to do so. i love when characters make choices that i personally wouldn’t make, but i can totally understand how they got there. i love when characters have complex, fucked up, unhealthy dynamics, but still care about each other and want to do better. i love when writers trust audience members to read between the lines instead of spoon feeding them moral lessons. i love when characters are allowed to actually fuck up and have mistakes to learn from!
