Part of me ships kandreil, the other part if me loves Neil and Kevin being like brothers bc goddammit, Wymack is basically Neil's father

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

[sazandorable]

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

(definitions lifted more or less wholesale from fanlore’s relevant pages)

Neil, watching Andrew play subway surfers: hey I've done that

Andrew: you've done fucking what

[queenautavia]

Neil "if you see me being threatened by a 5'0 blond do NOT dare to try to save me i'm exactly where i want to be" Josten

[hey-there-22]

Neil: *singing in french*

Jean: you are butchering the song.

Neil, shrugs: they don't call me the Butcher of Baltimore for nothing, Moreau.

Jean:

Neil:

Jean: you are ill in the head.

Neil: meh, at least my head is doing better than Riko's.

Jean:

Neil:

Jean:

Neil: *proceeds to keep singing*

And in this interview with Dan wilds, you can see Exy star Neil Josten trapped in a chokehold by teammate Kevin Day. And as the interview progresses, you can see Kevin slowly drag Neil away from microphones with a large hand clamped over his mouth as Neil kicks his feet aggressively.

After Baltimore Andrew became Neil's personal stuff opener. He didn't even have to ask anymore he would just give Andrew things to open like bottles and jars and other stuff.

And it just stayed like this since. Neil never had to open another bottle ever again.

the monsters are pretty fly

[malekyla-001]

Neil and Andrew spend time together, but Kevin is always nearby and watching Exy

[milocelium]

you didn’t hear it from me but this is the polaroid neil keeps in his wallet and looks at every day

[solflowers-and-solace]

The foxes favourite games:

- did Andrew and Neil leave early because of trauma or because they’re horny

- is the heavy breathing behind the closed door people making out or is someone having a panic attack

- can we get Neil to admit to literally anything

- is this fox asking me to have a sleepover because trauma or because friendship

[murpy-kskfk]

I want a relationship like Andreil so bad I’m willing to take a racquet to the stomach

Now I KNOW thats not how most healthy relationships are formed, but just putting it out there.. if thats what it takes.

​i won’t even brace my core, just have at it

[linskiiii]

It's always yes with you ♥️

My brain tells me I want to draw something besides Jax, cut to me in the art app, drawing. Jax. Again
