Shipping Kevin is so fun because it’s like every ship emphasizes something different about his character.

Kevaaron? Nerdy Kevin

Kevneil? Exy Kevin

Kandrew? Prissy Kevin (affectionate)

Keremy? Flustered Kevin (also Exy Kevin)

Kevjean? Angsty Kevin (also Exy Kevin)

one must imagine kevin day happy

[cliopaints]

you guys think that jean, historically held down by kevin during riko’s punishments, gained a new empathy for kevin’s brand of trauma when neil came to the nest and jean had to be the one to restrain him?

[queenclacker]

"Kevin day only cares about exy"

He does have hobbies btw he likes history and photography but y'all read with your eyes closed

"Kevin day has no personality"

Kevin day sees potential in ppl others deemed hopeless

Kevin learned french for jean

Kevin kept his friends secrets because he knew what it was like not being able to trust anyone

His favorite color is red btw

"Kevin day is dependent on Andrew"

Andrew himself doesn't care why do you

"he's a third wheel for Andrew and Neil"

They chose the system btw they want him there

I am defending this man like it's my full time job at this point 🙂‍↕️ because y'all are annoying me

[starlightshadowsworld]

“Kevin realising he set up his celebrity crush with his ex situationship” bold of you to assume he didn’t do that shit on purpose. Kevin wants to give Jean the life he knows he deserves and whether it’s friendship, romance or a Raven esque partnership he knows Jeremy will give him that.

He just wants Jean to be happy.

I find It kind of wild that people somehow think Kevin handled the whole 'Neil is actually Nathaniel' thing badly or in a wrong way, because I honestly cannot see It.

When he finds out, the first thing he does, as soon as he is able to talk to Neil in private, is tell him to RUN, bolt, save his life. They are going to lose the season, yes, It is going to suck, but Neil needs to run before It is too late.

Neil tells him he doesnt want to. Explains his decision to him. And Kevin....respects it. Because there is no good choice for Neil in the moment. He can stay and die or he can run and maybe delay his death in a few years. This is not a easy choice to make and Kevin respects and accepts whatever Neil has decided.

This doesn't mean he likes It or that he is fine with losing Neil. Just means that there is nothing either of them can do about the fact there are way too powerful people who want Neil's head on a silver platter.

Then Neil asks Kevin to not tell Andrew, and Kevin immediately understands why. He says with all the words: "Andrew wouldnt respect your choice"

Because Kevin understands there is no good or safe choice for Neil and he understands the least he can do is allow Neil to autonomy to decide.

Most of all, Kevin keeps Neil's secret. Not because he wants to keep It, but because Neil asked him to. Kevin understands this is the most he can do for Neil in that situation.

He cannot fight the Butcher, much less the Moriyamas (neither can Andrew). He cannot make Neil stop being Nathaniel. He cannot stop the people that are after him

But he can respect Neil's choice and keep his secret. So he does. Even If he knows this will make Andrew mas at him. Because for most of Kevin's life, he had all his choices made for him, because where Kevin comes from, keeping secrets was the most power he could ever have.

It baffles me that there are people who think he has somehow been selfish of done something absurd here.

neil joining the foxes bc of Kevin

[starlightshadowsworld]

The moment Neil realises that Kevin didn’t get lucky like he thought he did and that while Neil escaped Kevin never did will always hit me.

[minyard-05]

sometimes i think about nathans trial like what do you mean neil spent his whole life hiding and running, watching other people, including his mother, die to keep his secret, his body littered in scars. what do you mean he learned to take more comfort in a gun beneath his pillow than his mother's embrace, burned her body and a car on a beach in california, buried what was left of her in a backpack, and kept running like she taught him. spent what he thought would be his final year alive breaking all the rules she hammered into him just so he could do something he loved one last time. and now he has to take an oath to swear all of it in front of the whole world, watching people pick it apart in two hour specials on late night news, knowing that the life and the family he lost was all for all of it to come out in the end anyway.

do you think andrew ever found him on the roof of fox tower, dried tear tracks staining the scar tissue on his face, watching clouds of smoke dissipate into the night. do you think neil said "everybody knows now" and andrew just stood beside him because he understood

THE HANGED MAN — Kevin Day

symbolises instability and reconsideration of wishes, beliefs and aims. also can speak of egocentrism, self-obsession or pointless pursuit of an unattainable dream. Kevin is portrated upsidedown as a metaphor of him looking at his situation from another perspective — he rethinks his place in his own and other people's lives, he finds out what he actually deserves and what he's worth, & also changes his mind about some people and the attitude they've been giving him. someone's hand holds him by his ankle — their personality's not specified, which means it could be anyone: Wymack, Andrew, Neil or even Riko. there are chains that were torn in pieces — reference to Kevin's past, the Ravens' team that he left and toxic relationship with Riko that he'd broken — but the chains stay here. memories and trauma don't go away easily, Kevin's still not able to break free from them and move on, but now he's free. he's looking to the side of the raven that's sat on his stick but not exactly at it. his eyesight's wandering, not stilling at something, and always roams around as if looking for something

Best sex position is guy who’s not there but is fundamental to everything

[starlightshadowsworld]

I love the idea of Kevin being weirdly validated by Seth hating him because imagine losing everything, knowing you’ll never be the person you used to be and having to start from scratch.

And some guy fucking hates you because of your fame and all the things you’ve been convinced you’ve lost. But by virtue of this guy hating you it proves you aren’t done yet.

You’re that guy and you always will be for as long as this guy hates you for it.
