Vodka and Red Bull

I think a lot about the press getting a shot of Jean kissing Cat’s forehead at his first game and how monumental that photo was like that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what people expect of him; being affectionate with a teammate—a queer woman of color as well—during the cleanest game of his career.

neil josten and Andrew minyard show what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object and the answer is they fuck

[ineveryreality]

absolutely bonkers that a raven player wacked andrew in the chest hard enough to throw him into the back of the goal, then swung down on his shoulder hard enough to force him to his knees. his hand dangled uselessly at his side, and this guy still managed to choke out his bf’s attacker and was the only thing holding him up as they left the court. mvp shit right there.

404 - person doesn't exist

[ghostsgnomestruelove]

has anyone noticed that instead of telling each other to stfu kevin neil and andrew will just pop each other on the back of their head when they're annoyed because it's hilarious. it’s so stupid but also so effective. they don’t need words they just keep whacking each other's head like malfunctioning siblings and somehow it works

the way the foxes are characterized is very fascinating, and sometimes you don't see it clearly until you see how miss nora characterized the trojans by comparison.

all of the foxes have experienced hardship of some kind, childhood trauma, addiction, unsupportive families, so on. they're not normal. and they don't expect any other fox to be. in TFC on neil's first visit to the court, andrew startles neil and he lashes out on instinct, andrew merely catches his elbow and keeps talking like nothing happened. (compare this to the trojan's reasonable shock everytime jean has a reflex) because he gets it without asking. they all do.

this lends itself to the frequency of physical altercations they have. if someone has a problem, they're going to address it head-on the way they know how. both parties will end up with bloody noses and bruised necks, but by the end of it they'll be tighter than ever. and i believe this is why, although most teams would not accept this, wymack tolerates their fights because he knows thats all they need to send and receive their messages to eachother and get things settled. sitting around talking about their feelings doesnt work for this dysfunctional crew, most of them would hardly know how.

and sometimes this is shown in less dramatic examples with pops upside the head to get someone to shut up. :^) i love them

“Kevin fumbled Jean Moreau” is true and funny. But I raise u. “Kevin fumbled Jeremy Knox” is actually way funnier and way more canon. Imagine losing ur celeb crush to the guy who had a crush on u that u didn’t like back, and thought u outranked & were better than. Oh it’s too good

Runaway

[instigatorjosten]

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

[instigatorjosten]

Neil really looked riko dead in the eye and said “from one daddy issues freak to another, get your shit together, you’re bad for the brand” and i love him for that

[what-would-sappho-do-deactivate]

Renee: "Kevin has a girlfriend."

Neil: "Does Kevin know this?"
