A little thing I headcannon is that Andrew never asks where Neil is. Neil is CONSTANTLY asking where Andrew is if he hasnât seen him for approximately 0.5 seconds and even Jean notices how they give âlingering looks when one fell out of orbit for too longâ, but Andrew never asks, wanting conceal to the others how much Neil is a weak spot for him. Instead, his eyes slide across the room, scanning, and if he canât see Neil then Andrew simply gets up and goes in search of him, he knows all of his spots anyways. The foxes, initially just put Andrewâs abrupt leave up to his blatantly disrespectful self, deciding he wasnât interested enough in the conversation, so they donât really care. However, that isnât until they notice the pattern. First, Renee, then Dan and Aaron, and soon the others catch on. They observe the way Andrewâs fingers start tapping at his sides when his head swivels round and cannot find his specific ginger. They observe the way he gets up immediately and strides towards the door. They also observe the way Andrew hands still slightly as Matt says, âheâs on a runâ or Kevin tells him Neilâs just practicing on the court. Andrew doesnât acknowledge it openly of course, he never asked and wouldâve been able to find him himself easily, but they all donât miss the way his head lowers for a second, giving a subtle nod, placated by the fact someone always knows where Neil is. I guess they all know the alternative, when his hands were shaking, wrapped round Kevinâs neck in Baltimore. He didnât ask, âWhereâs Neil?â, he screamed it. And the others didnât know. And Andrew couldnât find him.
Dead wife but it's a flashback to an amazing sandwich you had 3 years ago
Nile is a sweet little flower
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 Andrewâs pale hair shine brighter and his hazel eyes seem almost gold. Whatever it was, it was disorienting. A wordless question buzzed under Neilâs skin, leaving him restless and out-of-sorts."
The fact that every single Fox who has met real monsters Immediately sees that Andrew isnt one is very telling
Kevin, Neil and Renee. They have all seen some of the worst people out there. Not one of them ever sees Andrew as a monster.
And yes, the other Foxes have suffered, but none of them have really met the kind of evil those three had to deal with.
Kevin, Neil and Renee have looked literal souless monstruosity in the eyes and neither of them finds it when they look in Andrew's eyes. Because It isnt there.
Andrew is violent, controling and slightly posessive. But he is no monster in any way shape or form. He cares, way more than he lets on. Andrew's main issue is that as much as he doesnt wanna feel, he still does, has never stopped.
Andrew is a victim of monsters, not a monster. And the three others on the team who have also been victims of monsters Immediately clock the truth.
âHe'd come to the Foxhole Court every inch a lie, but his friends made him into someone real.â
Iâm not gonna lie itâs borderline embarrassing how long Iâve worked on this that Iâve spend 2 days tryna figure out how to caption it to make it less embarrassing but oh well. It also made me realise the banner says exy ncaa instead of ncaa exy but at this point thatâs none of my business
Short of being inside Noraâs head here is a (mostly) (I think) biblically accurate and to scale model of the Foxhole Court and Nora I have a several questions.
Also rendered so many images of this I had like 50 cameras in the scene would yâall care if I just did a photo dump.
God I have so many things to say about working on this I had to restart like 8 times it was a mess but if I start I won't be able to stop Imao though if anyone's interested in a breakdown of all the sections and materials I would be more than happy to make a post yapping about it.

that super relatable moment when you dream of a life so painfully boring and domestic that waking up sends you into a massive depressive episode because itâs everything youâve ever wantedâŚ
addendum: if the cheeto dies this year I'll give yall an andrew pov story in celebration
listen you cannot tell me that andrew âghosted a kiss over neilâs hipâ minyard doesnât fuck with temple kisses. smooches to the inner curves of neilâs wrists. pressing his mouth to the hollow of neilâs throat just to do it. dragging his lips with care and tenderness over his junkieâs inner thighs after heâs bitten the supple skin there all to hell. andrew may not have been bred for gentleness of a high caliber, but he knows devotion like heâs got it tattooed on the inside of his eyelids, and the only way to make the words light up is to have his lips on the most underloved parts of neilâs body that he can find
Thinking about Andrew being this bizarre little brother to Renee. No one is allowed to be mean to her. They beat each other up in no holds sparring for emotional regulation and bonding. He ropes her into a scheme to âcasuallyâ let Neil know heâs gay and available. She goes along with it. They have a bond no one understands. They discuss fictional hypotheticals at length. They cheerfully mess with the rest of the team. She has a better read on him than most. He gets really angry at her but never threatens her. He lets people say what they want but no one is allowed to be rude to her. He encourages her to heal from her trauma. She gives him her knives. He lets her drive his car. Heâd probably menace and threaten any potential love interest on her behalf. He cares about her but trusts her to take care of herself in a way that he doesnât for any other member of his family. They split up care of the Foxes between them. She genuinely likes and gets along with him. Sheâs a grounding presence and voice of reason for him. He doesnât like her friends. Thatâs his SISTER. He loves and respects her. Heâll try to beat her ass. He wonât succeed. Sheâs too sweet for her own good. No one is allowed to be mean to her except for him. Heâll go into her dorm, knock something off a shelf. and leave the door open when he leaves. He would T pose on her to establish dominance. Heâs just this annoying little gremlin that imprinted on her and now she has a little brother and sheâs not mad about it.
aftg but neil is genuinely wholeheartedly under the impression that andrew and kevin are boyfriends. which is basically just the first book and half of the second but i mean we let him keep that energy the whole way through. andrew says he'd blow him and neil is like ??? pretty sure kevin would take issue with that??? and andrew, thinking neil is referencing their deal, is like ??? kevin doesn't care what i do when im away from him??? and neil is like ??? but you're always with him when im around??? and andrew is like ??? i would tell him to go away??? and neil is like ??? i don't think you should do that??? and andrew is like ??? u mean u want him to watch??? and neil is like ??? i didn't agree to this but if i was going to then yes, im not going to make you send kevin away??? and anyway this is how both andrew and neil operate under the assumption that the other is angling to enter a throuple with one another and kevin day and kevin has no clue about any of this
Can't let the original notes die. And let me add to it.
Picture this : Kevin doesn't think it's not normal. After all, Andrew is his partner, and in the nest, your partner was also privy to your private activities. Does he think it's weird to be called on specifically for this while Andrew has no qualm about letting Kevin out of his sight for other stuff? Yes. Sure. But also, like, it's not like his angry little bodyguard ever made sense to him.
He's hoping that by sitting quietly in his corner, he's going to score brownie points for good behavior and get Andrew to join them on the court during night practice. He spends his time daydreaming about exy with big smooch noises in the background - or more (he blocks it all, his exy passion is all consuming). To each their fantasies.
Okok so I know this is completely unrealistic, but follow along for a second, Jean instinctively gave Cat a forehead kiss right? Just hear me out, Neil. Neil and Jean having spent like a week together and finally having to go their separate ways again, giving each other an awkward side hug, but Jeans a little more mentally healed, affection is becoming second nature, so he doesn't even think about it when he kisses the top of Neils head, who just stands there, completely flabbergasted with a "wtf" pinch in his eyebrows and a few processing blinks. Jean goes to let go of him, but Neil looks up, still holding them together, with a devilish smirk. "Did you just kiss me?"
"Shut up." Jean lets go
"You just kissed me." Neil gets in front of him with a mocking smile.
"It was a mistake. Go home."
"No, no, no.-" Jean tries to step around him, muttering swears in French. Neil crosses his arms, still standing his ground. "What if I want another goodbye kiss?" Neil quirks an eyebrow with arms crossed over his chest.
"Will it shut you up?"
"Most definitely not, but Ill leave." Jean lets out a frustrated huff, grabs the sides of Neils face and pulls him forward in a harsh tug, kissing his forehead with an aggressive bump. Neil beams up at him, gives a nod, then turns to leave. Jean doesnt watch him walk away, pissed at himself.
I can imagine Andrew finding out about it and not at all knowing how to feel, not necessarily jealous because Neil doesnt swing, but possessive in the sense that Neil is his to kiss. Or Jeremy watching this whole scene from a few feet away just thinking "how do I get goodbye kiss privileges?"
Neil makes it become a thing everytime they are together, he just won't fucking leave until Jean kisses the top of his head, eventually it just turns into Neil basically headbutting Jean's chest and Jean instinctively bends to bury his face in Neils hair. Neil notices Jeremys sad/jealous expression at one point and tells Jean "looks like someone else is waiting for a goodbye." Motioning at Jeremy, when Jean turns to face him, Jeremy looks away with a pout. So of course Jean walks over and kisses the top of his head as he walks by to get in the car. Jeremy faces goes bright red as he locks eyes with neil who scoffs then winks at him before leaving.
Andrew witnesses it once, at first he is immediately defensive because Jean didnt ask, but the proud look on Neils face is enough for him to back down, to not hurt Jean because clearly Neil enjoys the attention, however it doesnt stop Andrew from leaving hickeys on Neil basically head to toe the second they are alone.
A mafia don, a dermatologist and a gardener talk about their experiences with moles, unaware that they are all talking about different kinds of moles.
neil josten and Andrew minyard show what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object and the answer is they fuck
thinking about how Neil Demisexual Virgin Josten doesnât experience enough sexual attraction/know enough about sex to look at Andrew with lust until way later into their dynamic when theyâre more comfortable together. he just, doesnât. the idea of fucking Andrew never pops into his head, bro probably doesnât even know what that would look like. at most heâll want to kiss Andrew but still he doesnât get this hungry predator look, he just says he wants a kiss and then gets one, end of story. thinking a lot about how Andrew probably struggled to wrap his head around the fact Neil wanted him and it wasnât sexual in nature.
also thinking about how when time passed and they built up to things where Andrew receives Neil probably had to be like âbtw i have no clue what iâm doing so youâre gonna have to tell meâ and how that probably helped Andrew ease into letting Neil touch him. bc its so very clear Neil isnât in control in that situation and is not this imposing figure, heâs awkward and unsure of his movements and Andrewâs heart could implode from how comfortable he feels
being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?
