tv host: do we have any questions from the fans?

someone in the crowd: I WOULD TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU, NEIL

neil: you would have been mad useful to me a few years ago

[sepulchralblues]

hey yeah remember when Andrew responded, "you'll what?" to Kevin's "if you hit me again" and revealed to everyone exactly how much Neil meant to him but Neil just went okay then onto exy like the love of his life didn't just serve his heart up on a silver fucking platter

[wolfgangwithoutgang]

Nicky: I can’t believe Neil ignored us all winter break! He better be dying.

Neil: Hey guys, sorry I ignored you all winter break. I was dying.

Nicky: I take it back I take it back I take it back I take it back.

Thinking about what the first drawing of the year with foxes I would like to create — I immediately remembered the scene with the keys 🤧

key, home. part 1

[dare-to-dm]

We’re watching the Return of the King right now, and got to the part where Denethor is introduced.  My husband asks me for the context of why Denethor is Like That, since I just finished reading the book.  So I explained how Denethor has been using a Palantir for years to get information, and how Sauron has been manipulating him by only letting him see events that give him a worst possible impression of reality.

So my husband replies “Oh!  So Denethor is basically just like your grandpa after he starts getting all his news from Fox.”   And honestly, yeah pretty much.

Warn people before you make statements like that. I was not ready.

My brain cannot accept that able bodied people don’t have a base pain level. Like? You’re not in pain?? At all??? Even a little bit??? You don’t have a constant background radiation of pain???

Sounds fake but ok

[quinnception]

"The normal amount of pain is zero"

Sure it is

No one can tell me this isn’t literally Andrew Minyard after a couple drinks

[youknow-igetit]

Andrew always says that he has strict rules for himself and the world, that everything must be black-and-white, good or bad, honesty or lies, no in-between whatsoever. Unsurprisingly however, his life isn’t so clear cut. He says that he doesn’t trust people and he makes deals for people to stick around, and yet he’s friends with Renee and trusts Bee, with no strings attached. He says that everyone sees him as a monster and says that he doesn’t care if people do, and yet he’s absolutely dying for someone to see himself, a person who was fucked-up by the monsters of the world and desperate to keep himself alive. He says that his brother and cousin, and later Kevin, are the only things keeping him around, but the truth is that he found the smallest reason to stay and latched onto it with all he had. He wants to stay just as bad as Neil does because no one has ever let him stay, every home he’s ever been in has been temporary and he’s just waiting for this one to go away too. Andrew himself contradicts his own rules because he is nether good nor bad, he’s not a saint and he’s not a monster, he’s just a person, he’s just an incredibly wounded human being who has stopped believing that truly good people exist and yet still craves love and trust so fucking deeply.

Maybe Andrew Minyard pretends that he lives in the black-and-white to keep others from realizing that he’s so gray.

Neil’s favourite colour is gray

I’m not entirely sure where I’m going with this, but I really want to talk about how the upperclassmen and the monsters mirror each other. How each member of the monsters has a counterpart in the upperclassmen, someone with a similar backstory and similar motivations and goals, but with certain crucial differences that serve to highlight all the character development that happens throughout the books.

For instance, there’s Andrew and Renee: both foster children with harsh pasts who murdered and feel no remorse for it, but forced to face the consequences regardless. Andrew is left with a brother who can’t forgive him; Renee has to deal with the knowledge that she’ll never be the good person she wants to be. They have the same fighting style - defensive, reactive, but knowing that the only way to win is to stop your opponent from ever hurting you again; they both play goalie because they’re both best when they stand at everyone else’s backs and prevent anything from getting past them. There’s a reason Andrew charges Renee with protecting her half of the team, and not Dan, the official leader; where Dan is focused on moving forward and charging down the opposition, Renee and Andrew are about making sure everyone under their wing survives.

Then there’s Dan and Kevin, the team leaders (one official, one unofficial), a striker and an offensive dealer/occasional striker sub, #1 and #2. They’ve both been pushed down and shoved aside, marked as second-best or second-rate, and they both refuse to let that stop them. They both fight because they don’t know how to lose, because they can’t know how to lose, and they expect the same from everybody else. Kevin won’t accept anything but the best because that’s what he’s been taught, that’s the only way he knows how to live; Dan knows that anything less than perfection gives everyone else the right to stomp all over you, and is determined to never let that happen again. (And then there’s the fact that they both see Wymack as a father).
