it’s always, “andrew wasn’t fast enough to save neil a second time”, and never, “andrew, with a broken collarbone and limp hand, dragged himself to neil and choked his attacker before she could reach him again.”

the definition of “if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you.”

[ghostsgnomestruelove]

the funniest injustice in aftg will always be that andrew gets eidetic memory instead of aaron. meanwhile aaron’s killing himself in med school studying to become a neurosurgeon. like imagine knowing your twin could literally recite the entire brain atlas from memory but instead he’s using that power to bully strangers and keep exy stats. aaron must have been so so pissed. i too would be bitter for life

andrew when he finds out neil is at the nest:

*gritting my teeth* unfortunately the only way to get better at something is to keep doing it

[akindplace]

*chewing my own arm* you have to allow yourself to be bad at something at first before you learn how to do it. you don’t have to worry about performing perfectly

HAPPY GALENTINE'S DAY! 💕

The willingness to bend down and meet her at eye level.

Just this whole scene alone was very sweet. I love her

[mrinafria]

I actually feel a special kind of love when my leads are genuinely kind to each other's family members. Such a rare, pure thing.

My aftg Roman Empire is Kevin Day, who knows full well how media treats queer people and how Riko treats queer people, and while being abused by Tetsuji and Riko on a Daily basis and being what. 18 ig at best? he saw Jeremy Knox, brilliant brilliant Jeremy Knox and decided that he will use his media power as The Son of Exy and shout from the tallest fucking building about his admiration towards Jeremy.

Because he can't protect Jean, he can't help him, he can't shield him from Riko, but Kevin fucking Day saying that he thinks higly about this guy, who just got out the homophobic / addiction scandal - that's a reputation boost right to the moon.

Kevin doesn't just admire the way Jeremy plays, doesn't just respect his stance and skill, he is also incredibly VOCAL about it and about his personal characteristics because he knows Jeremy's reputation needs it. He's making a safety net.

People will write fics where Neil is insecure about his relationship with Andrew when in canon the mf is smiling, giggling, kicking his feet every time Andrew says he hates him like it’s a love confession.

And rightfully so. Neil knows Andrew’s default is no emotion so he knows intuitively what an emotion as strong as “hate” towards him, that isn’t backed-up by any of Andrew’s actions, means.

Not only is having intergenerational friendships literally not creepy, imho it's actually essential. You NEED friends who are older to do things like help you when there's a problem with your taxes, and give you job advice, and relationship advice, and especially if you are part of a marginalized group, and especially if you're part of a marginalized group and don't have contact with a ton of other members of it, you need older friends to show you that there IS a future for you, for people like you, and what it looks like, and the way it doesn't even have to involve turning into your parents

[hiccup-queen]

conversely, you need friends who are younger to help introduce you to new ideas. You need friends who are younger to drag you out to try some adventure because they thought it looked cool. You need younger friends to help you fix problems, because they may have faced something similar in the past! You need younger friends to keep you up to date on slang so that you can embarrass your teenage family members by intentionally misusing it.

Cross-generational friendships are not some weird sin. My best friend is nineteen years older than I am - im closer in age to her children than I am to her. She's still my best fucking friend.

[genderkoolaid]

having friends who are older than you helps inoculate you against ageism towards older people.

having friends who are younger than you helps inoculate you against ageism towards younger people.

you need to be able to see people of all ages as people you live in a community with, people who are similar to how you once were or will be, people you can learn from and people you can teach.

Sleep deprived Aaron stressed over tests and labs and only properly resting when wearing his favorite cozy sweater that he actually took from Andrew's closet when moving out of his twin's dorm and he never gave it back but also Andrew never asked for it back

Aaron found curled up on the couch, knocked out completely, and Andrew is sitting next to him glaring at anyone who might dare to disturb his twin with loud noises

Aaron sleeping through his emergency alarms, but instantly waking up when Andrew nudges his shoulder and says his name

It takes 7-10 business days every time for Aaron's brain to catch up that Andrew would always make sure he never overslept so he could study or make it to class on time

How can Jeremy be an ex cocaine user, hated by all his family, blamed for his brother’s suicide, had his sexuality exposed for everyone in his freshman year and still be one of the most “normal live” characters cause his partner is a frenchman who was a victim of human trafficking and sold by his parents to a mafia and sentenced to years of abuse and torture in a sports team cult like in US

[aledethanlast]

Andrew Minyard talks like that because hes supposed to be a noir detective, but life made him a jock who hates learning about other people and no fixed address with which to develop a codependent relationship.

Neil Josten talks like that because he was supposed to be the femme fatale, except he's too asexual to intentionally seduce anyone and too obsessive and paranoid to notice when somebody falls for him anyway.

The Kings men, chapter four

Okay i'm literally shaking posting this, i've been working on it for days i lost all objectivity about it.

Someone requested this scene when I asked for recommendations on an older post, so this is tkm chapter four:

"Andrew sprawled on the couch in the lounge while Kevin went ahead to change out. Neil hesitated, changed his mind and started after Kevin, and changed his mind again. He stood behind the couch, folding his arms across the back of it, and peered down at Andrew. Andrew had one arm folded under his head and the other draped over his eyes to block the light. 'One of these days you might as well practice with us,' Neil said."

This scene is so long I had to cut some parts (including the incredible "You let us run ourselves into the ground and clean up behind us. You play the game like you play life. That's why you're so good at it.").

Not to mention Andrew's height fear, one of my all-time favorite aftg quotes ("When you said you were afraid of heights, you were joking, right?" "Andrew, you can't be. What were you doing on the roof?" "Feeling." -tkm ch.5).

Update: I cut the (too long) comic into smaller images so that you can open it and have a better quality, hope it works!

[belovedsamber]

imagine the chaos after kevin and andrew came back from LA

andrew: you killed a guy and you didn’t tell me

neil: well i was preoccupied with jean and the FBI stuff

andrew: AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME ABOUT JEAN AND THE FBI STUFF

kevin: can you guys believe that jeremy wants to be a lawyer
