hi there’s a lot of discourse in the fandom about whether andrew actually cares about exy or not and i’d like to share my take (per usual)
i don’t think he has any specific thoughts on exy and his feelings are both neutral and dormant. obviously that lack of emotion is a front in most aspects for him, but i don’t believe he sways one way or another when it comes to any day-to-day activities.
when it comes to andrew’s needs, he’s quite simple. food, drink, sleep, don’t-ignore-my-personal-bubble. he doesn’t but any mind into his physical appearance or his health in general, exy is just something he does that allows him to focus on other people’s (K, N, A, N) needs and wants.
he only started playing exy because it was a requirement for his time in juvie, he then kept playing in high school because aaron liked playing. he continued through college because it offered the three of them (N, A) a full ride scholarship as long as they kept up with exy on a five year contract.
the reason i believe he keeps up playing after college mostly just stems from his ridiculous abandonment issues and savior complex. continuing to play exy made it easier to survey neil and kevin’s lives.
i don’t think he’ll ever grow to enjoy exy, but i doubt he’s ever disliked it. exy is routine, andrew likes routine.
TLDR: andrew regards exy just as he does eating and drinking (insert a punctuation mark i can’t choose from) it’s routine, and makes his life easier to manage.
