HERE'S MY HOT TAKE - Andrew Joseph Minyard does in fact care!

People who say Andrew honestly doesn't care about being included or wanted or appreciated or whatever in my opinion are misunderstanding Andrew.

What "doesn't care" really means for Andrew and people who adopt the same defense mechanism, is that he's actively choosing to take all his cares and wants and shoving them in a box labeled "Warning: Hazardous Emotions - Do Not Engage" and ignoring them with masterful levels of denial and obfuscation. But that doesn't mean the feelings go away. It just means he's suppressing them. Repressing them, even.

And yeah, even if he does start to get accepted and wanted and included by the other Foxes of whomever else (especially for being good at Exy), that doesn't mean Andrew will open the fucking box. He's no fool, he knows what happens when the rug gets pulled out from under you. How devastating that is. How earth shattering. Sure, they include him now. But that shits conditional, and he's never been good fitting into those.

Andrew does care, you guys. Just very very very deep down, and he's still trying to dig that shit deeper (on the off chance there's an endless chasm in there some where for those wantings to shrivel up and die. Alas, emotions don't work that way, but it wont stop him from trying)

It's not genuine lack of caring. It is the active repression of care. Not the same, your honor.

And sure, that level of commitment to Not Wanting and thus Not Caring does translate to steadfast dismissal and rejection of inclusion and whatnot, but that shit stems from not being willing to take a chance. Fool me once, twice, thrice - Never Again. Reject you first and you can't reject me later, checkmate bitches.

Andrew opened that box for Neil, but not wholly intentionally. Word of God (Nora) says that shit was an accident, and he resigned himself to the open box of his Feelings after Baltimore. Word of God also says if Neil had died then That Was It. Tea candle in a dark room blown out, total darkness type shit.

Andrew does care, he just tries really fucking hard not to think about it, and even harder not to act on it, in every case except one.

But the best part? He still fucking fails. Aaron, Nicky, Kevin, Renee, Bee, Wymack? Fuck, even Sir Fat Cat McCatterson and King Fluffkins. Very hard to keep the Box Closed, turns out. Shit keeps leaking. People keep sticking their goddamn fingers in. Turns out he can't fucking read his own signs. Fuck.

Andrew does care. He just does so silently, and with great reluctance, lots of teeth pulling, and deeply rooted denial.

But it's okay. He has a therapist.

In case you’ve forgotten the vibe of the AFTG universe:

ladystormverse

the first thought that crosses aaron’s mind is that andrew is going to kill him. he doesn’t remember exactly what happened, but the mas is a wreck, and he doesn’t feel much better inside it. sticky fluid is pouring into his eyes, and he immediately recognizes it as blood, but he’s afraid to move.

“damn,” he blurts out, and his voice sounds so defeated that for a second he thinks he’s dying.

he’s scared and in pain. aaron reaches for his cell phone on autopilot, without stopping to think about what just happened. the car is a total trash. he probably is, too. only god knows what will kill him first: a hemorrhage or an enraged andrew.

he dials the emergency contact without immediately realizing that his brother’s number is saved there. by the time he hears an irritated “hello?” on the other end, it’s too late to hang up.

“andrew…” aaron barely manages to get the words out, trying to keep track of his own racing heart. “drew, fuck, i’m sorry.”

“what happened?”

“i think i crashed the car.”

he’s already thinking about what kind of flowers would look good on his grave when andrew blurts out, “fuck the car, what’s up with you?”

“nothing good.”

colorful spots flash before his eyes, and aaron drops his phone onto the dashboard before he can really explain anything.

Sometimes i'm normal then i remember Neil subconsciously dialing Andrew's number while having a panic attack cause Andrew had already become a reliable safe space for him even back when they weren't a thing.

Tbh the only thing stopping me from hunting down or making a PSU Minyard 03 hoodie to wear as stealth fanon gear is my deep unwillingness to walk around wearing neon orange

palmettoshenanigans

Actually, if I can manage to make/find a letterman jacket half-n-half style where the left is white/orange Minyard 03 and the right is orange/white Josten 10 I'd give in and wear that ESPECIALLY as a stealth Minyard-Josten Rivalry/Marriage reference

Less stealthy as fanon gear but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make
