I feel like Jeremy would have a picture like this in his wallet and then wonder why guys reject him when they see it 🥲

(This artwork is heavily inspired by @ kudo_aniki and @ thefall_ofanempire cosplay pictures on ig, so be sure to check out their photos on their accounts!!💕)

the concept of Neil's high school coach messaging wymack is infinitely funny to me

honestly, the fact that anyone has contacted wymack to recruit their players is a little funny. is it just an email that's:

"good evening, coach wymack

I have a severely fucked up dealer on my team. you want it?

kindest regards,"

outsider perspective of neil josten will never not be the funniest thing in the world to me like wdym this no-name, no-reputation kid was picked up by the most infamous d1 team in the league and proceeds to 1. insult one of the most famous college players on live tv, 2. claim his notoriously bad team is going to beat a team who has never lost, 3. spends christmas break with that team and comes back with red hair, blue eyes, and a face tat that’s basically the equivalent of that same famous player’s seal of approval, 4. says that the face tat is meaningless and insults the team & player to reporters, 5. gets kidnapped during a riot after a game, 6. comes back with a ton of injuries that are clearly from torture (including a burn mark where the face tat was, 7. be revealed as the son of an infamous serial killer (who’s dead now, btw), 8. play in a totally different position than normal during finals and actually succeed in both playing that position and winning the game against the undefeated team, 9. almost get murdered by the famous player on live tv for having the audacity to win like ??? honestly idk if it’s funnier to imagine all of this from a PSU fan’s perspective or from a fan of like, some team in the west who’s just watching all of this from a distance like “hahaha what the fuck is happening over there??”

always and forever thinking about AFTG characters all knowing at least two languages, and Neil speaking all of them

Andrew, to Neil in German: i swear i’m gonna kill Kevin if he makes me run one more lap, Jean needs to give this man some head or smth to take the edge off

Jean, to Neil in French: what did he say? i know he said my name

Neil, also in french trying to avoid a fight: he didn’t, you misheard, he said nicky is a dumbass

Nicky, to Neil in spanish: what the fuck is my name being thrown around for?

Neil, already annoyed: nothing, he’s just talking about some new backliner strategy Kevin has

Kevin, to Neil in japanese: what did you say about me?

Neil, in english: i fucking give up

do you ever think about how kevin's injury messed up more than just his exy playing for a while? like yeah obviously that's what he was most concerned and upset about for his own reasons, but as someone who's broken their wrist and been in a cast for it multiple times, i know that shit is so annoying lmao; having to shower with a plastic bag over the cast and extending your arm out of the water weirdly just to make sure it doesn't get wet, accidentally whacking it on things because maneuvering is hard when you're operating on instinct to use a hand you can't right now, it not feeling secure to do really anything with that hand because you don't have proper grasp and balance in it with it plastered up like that -and that's all just a simple broken wrist.

this boy's hand was shattered, he had to have surgery and do probably pretty extensive physical therapy. doctors told him he'd likely never use his hand again and yeah kevin heard and focused on "you'll never play exy with your dominant hand again" which came with its own internal stuff but on top of that he was a student still, just a kid really with a whole lot of life still to [in theory] live and things to do day to day. and he had a hand he probably couldn't even lift his textbooks with for a while there, or that would have muscle spasms and shake through holding a fork to eat the day after a long physical therapy session, or that would be particularly tense and sore on a random cold rainy day even months after he was released from pt appointments etc. etc. and i just know that made things worse for him to feel potentially inadequate in more than just the sport he was never supposed to feel that way in too

I like to think post-trilogy when Andrew finds out the details of Neil’s deal w Ichirou he makes a mental note to never get scored on again. but like in a very “oh fuckkkk” way. because up until then 9/10 times someone scores a goal on andrew its bc he let it happen. not anymore.

he’s just basically been informed he’s gonna be the one providing food on the table for his ginger stray cat he cant get rid of. its serious now, he needs to get recruited to a good paying pro team now, his stats are about to get even more impressive.

also works out bc this is around the time he starts to actually let himself care about Exy and enjoy playing, but rather than admitting that and letting Kevin win, this gives him an out. Kevin trying to rub it in like: “I knew you’d cave in” mmm no i just dont wanna starve and its not like Neil will be paying for my icecream”
