Deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring one in the face.

[kevindavidday]

i love how fucking freely neil gives his money and how drastically the use of it changed from start to end of the book. like giving away 100$ for a cop out on telling the truth and giving the same guy you were avoiding a stack wad of cash to a buy a cool car a few months later is just. like. maybe the real treasure was the sugar daddy we made along the way.

Can they flirt, aftg edition

Andrew: can but hates it. Makes him feel desperate. Also the man of his dreams registered none of it and literally only responded to Andrew being a weirdo so clearly it's all a scam.

Dan: yes, but can't see it as more than an act for when you want to get into someone's pants. Makes life hell for Matt before they start dating. Makes life *very fun* once they do.

Allison: absolutely. Does not respect any man who falls for it.

Matt: learned from watching guys try to flirt with his mom and her boxing friends, so his tactics are somewhat...demographically skewed. Eats shit when trying to romance Dan.

Aaron: Contrary to what second-hand accounts may tell us, this man is oozing charisma. Med student jock who goes to therapy, it's the whole package. If he were nine inches taller he would be the main character.

Nicky: bagged a man with high school-level grasp of his language. Raised two teens on a bartender salary. The results speak for themselves.

Kevin: nope. This man is fake as hell, star factor is doing alllllll the heavy lifting here. Unless you're as obsessed with exy as he is, in which case you're liable to confuse his attention *on* you with attention *to* you. Many have fallen victim to this effect. There is no support group.

Seth: chernobyl-level "you could fix me" aura

Renee: you're not sure if she's flirting or just being nice. Your friends are no help. Her friends seem to have a monetary incentive in the answer and can't be trusted. Your best shot might literally be praying for mercy.

Neil: ITS A TRAP HE'S STEALING YOUR WALLET

andrew's sense of humor is greatly underrated imo

like this moment was objectively hilarious

"if you're going to play dealer who do we have in goal second half?"

wymack looked at andrew. andrew looked over his shoulder as if checking for a third goalkeeper.

andrew's first pro game in the city aaron lives. he doesn't send tickets or ask aaron to come and he doesn't even tell aaron his team is coming to town. if aaron wants to come he will. andrew can't make him do anything.

between quarters, the jumbo tron is showing a "look-a-like" game on the screen where the camera operators find people in the crowd who look like different celebrities or animated characters. andrew's not paying any attention to it when the crowd goes wild. a teammate nudges him to look up and lo and behold, wearing a Minyard jersey is andrew minyard's look-a-like, aaron minyard himself.

he rolls his eyes when the camera focuses back on him for the side-by-side shot and but aaron can see that andrew is actually very pleased.

„Yes love?“ Neil retaliates in the same, slightly mocking tone. Andrew comes into sight, with an unusual mischievous glint in his eyes. „How much do you think you can horrify a whole bunch of conservative homophobes?“

“Church camp,” said Nicky through a hoarse throat, and Kevin turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow, apparently not understanding the significance. Nicky cleared his throat. “Pray away the gay camp.”

“Conversion therapy,” said Andrew with a sneer, tugging Neil closer to his side. “They sent him away to fix him.”

That was all it took to land Kevin Day in the hospital.

Aaron Minyard Appreciation Post

Foxes Appreciation Series : 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 ||

It is a truth universally acknowledged that out of everyone of the foxes, Aaron Minyard is without a doubt, the most overlooked, underappreciated, and hated one in the fandom.

Just seeing the landmine that is twitter brings ache to my heart.

This kid isn’t appreciated enough and it personally insults me.

Aaron Minyard has a traumatizing past- an abusive and alcoholic mom, struggled through drug addiction-

And considering his deal with Andrew we can assume that he didn’t really have any friends or someone to confide to.

This kid probably repressed all this trauma and had a hard time opening about it because being surrounded mostly by shitty adults, who can blame him?

He also doesn’t believe in therapy. 

This kid has a shitty past and it doesn’t really justify his actions but the amount of consideration people go through with the other foxes for their misbehaviors while just dismissing Aaron as an asshole without giving that same courtesy really sucks.

Aaron is the perfect example of do nine good things and have sex under the bridge one time and people would remember you for the latter.

I really wish people would give him the same consideration as others, or at least leave him alone if they can’t muster that much courtesy.

What I really appreciate about Aaron’s characters, similar to the other foxes, is how he strive to have that life. 

Like with a shitty past, it’s understandable that the people around him always doubt him and think he amounts to nothing but what did Aaron do?

He went to university on an exy scholarship and goes to pre-med.

Pre-med. Biochemistry- I had that course once back in my freshman year and I swear it was an absolute nightmare.

Imagining Aaron Minyard taking that up for five years, acing it, and playing exy on the side- 

Respecc

Like, no, seriously- this kid is working so hard to have a decent life and despite everything, he’s right there fighting for it and I just respect that so much.

There is nothing more admirable on a character for me than making an effort despite life getting in the way.

Because Aaron Minyard could have easily given up. He could have easily given in to the expectations or lack thereof for him.

But kid freaking played on collegiate exy and aced biochem at the same time.

And it’s not like he just played exy because of the scholarship, he’s actually a pretty decent backliner.

We really need more exy plays content.

Also, his character is very complicated and a part of me is really sad that we didn’t get any of him more (for redemption arc and just stuff) and the other foxes in the books.

Oh well.

“Looks like you’ve managed to completely embarrass yourself in both languages.”

My child has a few lines and he’s still savage af.

Imagine the chaos he and Neil will bring if they were actually friends or something.

Probably the reason why they’re not-

And yeah he’s a bit homophobic and I will never condone that

But most people forget that AFTG was set in 2006 - 2007 in South Carolina when y’know- it wasn’t really uncommon.

And I know that still sucks and it doesn’t cancel out the things he said but the kid was 20 at that time.

He’s still growing as a person.

Also, he grew up in the same environment as Nicky.

Heck, he lived there longer.

He was surrounded by conservative Christian homophobes and add that with a lack of awareness towards LGBTQIAP+ matters that time—

I’m just saying, that’s some shit he have to outgrow. And he still has time to do it.

I said this once but out of all the I’m fine given in AFTG (mostly by Neil, especially by Neil), it was actually Aaron’s that made me sob.

Like that night at thanksgiving when there was blood everywhere and poor kid is trembling because he just freaking killed someone and someone was messing with his brother and everything was a freaking mess and he doesn’t know anything—

But his brother was tied up and everything and the first thing Andrew asked for was about him and of course he had to assure him he was fine.

I cried, I freaking cried.

I can never also emphasize enough how Aaron Minyard took one look at Dr*ke and straight-up killed him. We do not talk enough about this.

No one appreciates this enough.

No, seriously, I saw someone recently say why we’re hyping up a murderer (you think I’m kidding but nope 🤧)

Like yeah, violence was kind of normal in AFTG cuz y'know—

But he freaking killed Dr*ke. Like he actually ended that MF and that was hands down one of the best things that happened in the books.

MF deserved to die and Aaron did it.

And this is Aaron Minyard we’re talking about.

The normal twin.

Despite his shitty past, this kid doesn’t do violence. The extent of killing Dr*ke is honestly freaking heavy.

Like we’re talking about psychological here, how he just recently found out that this has been happening to Andrew for years.

In psychology, there’s this thing where we feel guilty for the things that happened to someone close to us even if we have no correlation to it.

There’s also the killing itself— the effects of that like the nightmares.

Somewhere in TKM, Katelyn told Neil that Aaron gets headaches and nightmares about that night.

This precious smol bean I can't—

Aaron Minyard truly deserves all the best and I just love him so much.
