Actually hilarious to me that Riko & co. thought that Kevin went out and recruited Neil Josten aka Nathaniel Wesninski aka The Butcher's son ON PURPOSE

They really thought my guy went "you took my hand? Well I'm taking your runaway backliner who's been missing for the past eight years." And that he went and did it BY HIMSELF in FOUR MONTHS

I know Kevin is and has always been That Bitch™, but he could never dream to serve the amount of cunt Riko thought him capable of when he first got the lab results back from Kathy's show. No wonder they were so mad lol

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.

We love him

Can’t get over the trojans expecting jean to be a big scary raven and getting a scared, sweet kid instead vs the foxes expecting a quiet and unassuming neil and getting a loud mouth mafia nepo baby (affectionate)

Somewhere on campus Neil opens his mouth and says "Oh really? Well," and from across town Andrew perks up and grabs his keys to keep his person out of jail

Somewhere in Eden Neil rolls his eyes and says "First of all," and from the bar Roland watches as Andrew turns around suddenly, abandoning his drink order, reaching for a knife to keep his person out of jail

Somewhere at an Exy Banquet Neil sneers and opens his mouth to say "That's funny, because," and from the bathroom Andrew books it before finishing drying his hands and starts recalling every player's weight class and speed compared to his in preparation for fisticuffs to keep his person out of jail

Somewhere on Earth Neil speaks and Andrew-

[dawnatlas]

i hope they take sooo many pictures together and jean keeps all of them pinned up on his wall

[lucky-slice]

Aftg is fun cause all the characters are living in different genres like neil is in a mafia thriller while andrew is in some a24 drama film. Kevin is the horse girl in a horse girl movie and dan is in an underdogs sports story. Poor aaron is trying to have a normal slice of life forbidden romance type beat but then he has to go and kill a guy.

Monsters pregame:

AU where Neil never joined the Foxes, but ended up an Exites employee. He plays short one-on-one games with players who want to test their new racquets, and has inadvertently honed his skill against so many different types of players with different expertise. Andrew's group goes to get Kevin some new equipment, and Neil knows better than to play well against him. But Kevin forgets himself and gets a little too excited about testing out a new racquet, whipping the ball at Neil so fast that Neil instinctively slams it back hard enough to light up the goal on the opposite side of the court. Kevin is slack-jawed that some random retail worker scored against him so quickly and so easily and shuts down for a minute while his brain reboots. From a distance Neil swears he hears someone mutter "Interesting". Then Kevin's brain is back online and starts begging him to try out for their team. Neil realizes their is one thing worse than being recognized by Kevin Day and dragged back to his father: not being recognized by Kevin Day and trying to convince the grown ass man to get up off the floor and stop clinging to his legs and holy shit jackass, can you pretend to have some dignity??

[jtl-fics]

You know Kevin is relentless about it too. He's coming back with increasingly passionate speeches and Neil's just like "If you're going to be here that often the least you can do is help me stock the shelves." Resulting in Kevin Day's first ever part-time job so he can bother his co-worker to please for the love of EXY join the Foxes.

Hc that one day Aaron is walking to the dorms from his class, and he's texting Kaitlyn while he walks, so he doesn't see that the stairs outside the building his class was in are wet, so he slips and literally tumbles down all the stairs. It's at a time when a lot of classes just got out, so a bunch of people see him. Even worse, he just finished a biology lecture, which happens to be in the same building and at the same time as Neil's calculus lecture, so Neil witnesses the whole thing.

For the next month, Neil obnoxiously reminds Aaron to be careful whenever he is walking and texting or whenever he is confronted with stairs of any kind. It's always some variation of "careful Aaron, there's a crack in the sidewalk!" (while Aaron is on his phone) or "careful Aaron, there are stairs!"

The Foxes don't understand because neither Neil nor Aaron will explain. Aaron is just too embarrassed to tell them, and Neil finds it amusing to keep them all in the dark about Aaron's incident. All of them except Andrew, of course.

[stromerisms-deactivated20240505]

the foxhole court is a comedy

[aledethanlast]

For the last time Neil is not oblivious he's just so busy playing 5d chess with everyone he meets that the concept of regular chess baffles and bores him. Matt what do you mean I should hook up with a cheerleader can't you see I'm busy waging psychological warfare on a Frenchman.

Second year Wymack goes Neil why is Sheena screaming that you stole her phone and Neil goes well probably because I stole her phone. And Wymack is like why did you steal her phone which is when Neil pulls out the evidence that Sheena is dating a gambling addict who's pressuring her to throw matches. And now Wymack technically has to say thank you for telling me but also why not just say that in the first place instead of doing all this. At which point Neil admits that he wanted to see if he can frame one of the freshmen dealer for it. And now Wymack has to ask what he has against that poor kid. And Neil goes nothing but if I have a pretense to kick him off practice for a week I can make the freshie backline panic enough that they actually put in some effort.

And then Wymack says if I knew you'd be this big a pain I never would've made you vc. And Neil says what do you mean if?

The foxes are maybe the most interesting iteration of the found family trope I've ever seen. They love each other. They hate each other. They spend half their time fighting. They literally hide behind each other when threatened. They call each other slurs. They're all gay and date each other. They're mentally ill and traumatised. They're so problematic it's ridiculous. Canonically three of them are murderers. They have a massive sleepover where they all snuggle together .Some of them have about two lines of dialogue together. What the fuck
