the way nicky and aaron talked about andrew off his meds is exactly the way dog people talk about cats.

“you dont know what he was like off his meds… he was scary and violent.” and then he goes off his meds and is just incredibly quiet and wants to be left alone.

exact energy as ppl crying cats are “unpredictable and will scratch you for no reason” while disrespecting every boundary the cat has put in place. there’s a fundamental misunderstanding happening.

andrew minyard is a cat. in this essay i will—

i forgot to put it in the original, but when I went to fedex to pick up the pages, the employee said,

"If only there was an efficient way to read The Great Gatsby"

Neil being a demisexual and how obvious it is by how he uses simple terms when meeting people like just saying their hair and eye color. He doesn't even bother describing people he doesn't find important. Meanwhile the difference between meeting Andrew for the first time vs him having fallen in love with him has Neil waxing poetry about Andrew and it's so funny. Miser i don't swing was down bad by the second book.

First time meeting Andrew: "Andrew Minyard didn't look like much in person, blonde and five feet even."

After falling in love with Andrew: "Andrew looked as he always had, and Neil knew his face as well as he knew every iteration of his own. Despite that, something seemed different. Maybe it was the sunlight streaming through the window, making Andrew’s pale hair shine brighter and his hazel eyes seem almost gold. Whatever it was, it was disorienting. A wordless question buzzed under Neil’s skin, leaving him restless and out-of-sorts."

andrew minyard goes pro and gets a lot of tickets for random sports matches/games he never attends, but one day, three years into his pro career, red bull extends an invitation to him to be in their garage for the us gp (cota, texas), and andrew surprises his pr manager by saying yes on the spot

and at the same time mclaren extends neil an invitation for him to be in their garage for the same gp, and he couldn't care less about racing, but he accepts it because he knows andrew is going and they want to see each other after months apart, being on different teams and all

this is at the peak of the minyard-josten rivalry and fans are concerned about them fighting on the paddock but instead they're spotted walking around the paddock together several times

it's also at the peak of our current max-lando championship fight (rbr-mcl) and it only serves to fuel the fans conspiracy theories but the reality is that andrew is literally trying to explain the rules and format of the race weekend and neil giving him heart eyes because andrew sounds really excited about it

i can't tell you how badly i want to see the foxes in everyday school situations from outsider's perspective like imagine neil josten being called to the board to solve a logarithmic function in algebra 201 after it just came out he's a son of a serial killer slash exy champion or being assigned andrew minyard, casual part time arm breaker full time terrifyingly fast and agile goalkeeper as your study buddy to peer review your criminal studies paper I can't 😭 i need this like oxygen

I have the mental image of Kevin being interviewed and hearing the most vile, most despicable and cruel comment about his team.

And he could say something about it but Kevin decides that no no I’m going to express my displeasure by doing something even worse.

So Kevin slowly turns to where Neil is standing off side beside Andrew, takes a few steps back and gestures for him to go.

“You have 5 minutes.”

The smile on Neil’s face tells the interviewer they have seriously messed up but there’s no one to save them now.

okay wait realistically when do you guys think ilya realized shane was Different neurologically?

i know the first thought is like. when shane was folding his pants before sex but i honestly think ilya just thought it was dorky and cute and didn't think too deeply into it

to me, when i consider how ilya interprets all of their interactions up until florida, the stylist reveal at the bar is when ilya fully realizes that shane is really just wired completely differently than most people and that's why none of their interactions have ever made sense to him.

this is also a personal headcanon of mine and i don't think this is in the text or meant to be BUT HEAR ME OUT

he sits through their entire conversation with such obvious anxiety, tapping and twitching and staring and thinking shane can see it and is just torturing him with the build-up to his engagement announcement because ilya deserves it. and then shane goes. can i tell you a secret? :) and ilya's like FUCK no PLEASE don't but his mouth says okay because he is a masochist and he needs to know where they stand and if he's about to fight for his right to be shane's mistress, and shane just goes 'i..... hired a stylist :3'

and ilya just.

come with me on this face journey for a moment

this FOR ME is the moment ilya realizes that he's been misunderstanding shane completely. i don't think he goes 'oh shit... autistic' but i do think he fully understands that shane is just Like That and genuinely can't read the room for shit and has no idea ilya is crawling out of his skin to know if they can be something again

anyone else would have acknowledged the hints he was dropping. the physical cues. the updowns. but not shane. which means none of his past attempts to silently communicate got through, either. which means. a lot.

and then ilya gets so much bolder, flirtier, he asks what he wants to know directly, he touches shane more, he's more playful. it was never about shane not wanting him the way ilya wanted him. he realizes shane just doesn't know how bad ilya wants him, because ilya hasn't been communicating in a way shane can understand. and that heals a lot of hurt in an instant

wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it
