addendum: if the cheeto dies this year I'll give yall an andrew pov story in celebration

[kevindaysmyspace]

neil josten has the most beat up pair of converse that straight up look like an artefact from a world war. talking duct taped soles, frayed laces, holes on the side. he’s had them for seven months.

andrew minyard has the most in perfect condition pair of docs. completely un-creased, shiny leather. he’s had them for five years.

the concept of Neil's high school coach messaging wymack is infinitely funny to me

honestly, the fact that anyone has contacted wymack to recruit their players is a little funny. is it just an email that's:

"good evening, coach wymack

I have a severely fucked up dealer on my team. you want it?

kindest regards,"

[minyard-05]

actually it's really funny that the foxhole court starts with neil telling us he 'smokes' cigarettes because the smell reminds him of his dead mother. like no hello no how are you we just jumping right into this one

FINALLY the last image for my Brotherhood story collection! Prompto and Noctis overlooking Insomnia at night, listening to the strains of someone's radio playing a song...

This illustration is for Lyrics, which is part of my Brotherhood-era collection of stories. I'm pulling a bunch of shorts into a collection that I'll make available as a PDF!

Soon!

every time i read a scene where andrews driving i just imagine his “monster psychopath” ass with his seat at the highest setting

especially with how low that car is, theres no way hes leaning back all nonchalant. bro is fully a grandma leaning full over the wheel to see

TGR SPOILERS***

I can’t explain it but watching Neil Josten get his shit DEMOLISHED on the court in tgr and not being able to read about it from his point of view felt like watching a puppy get run over by a semi truck and being completely helpless to stop it

props design for the AFTG show would be so much fucking fun like okay we're using the TKM cover as a reference for designing the racquets but remember they have to be the same height as the goalkeeper and also made of wood and ALSO you should be able to kill a man in one hit. we need knives thin and small enough to be undetectable when concealed inside black sports armbands (???) and also they all need 2000s style flip phones. uniforms need to be ugly as hell and but you're rooting for them anyway, we need not-hockey and not-lacrosse and not-american-football style armour and helmets with cages. the stadium itself seats 65000 people and is WHITE with giant orange fox paws on all walls. the locker room also has to be orange. also the court is a giant plastic box. also the goals aren't goals they're sensors in the wall that light up red when hit. yes those are also see through. we also need an axe and a bag of blood and so many fucking cigarettes.

gotta respect nora sakavic for her consistency about her characters being in university. they might be fighting two huge mafia gangs at the same time or something, quite literally getting dead threats over the phone, but the main character still would be like damn that math exam

[kevindavidday]

'i will cut your throat open with my teeth' being a canonical line in aftg isn't surprising. the fact that it's jean moreau saying it to kevin day, however

This audio was too much like them and I had to draw it.

Theyre so funny Im going to blow them up

Telling people about aftg is the bane of my existence — not because they're bad, because how the fuck do you succinctly explain the nuance of this story; one that centers characters who aren't good people (and aren't meant to be).

Every characters moral code is fucked. Every last one of them are ready to fight at the drop of a hat. They're criminals and murders and assholes and abusers and victims — and that's what makes the story so good. I don't read these books to mirror myself after the characters. I read these books because they're an exercise in critical thinking. In the age of cancel culture, these books feel like an important reminder that the world isn't black and white, and just because your lines aren't someone else's doesn't mean they're wrong and you're right.

So many stories about the underdog follow that archetype that they're perfect and good to the core. Aftg flips this standard (and so many others) on its head and presents a story that I find more interesting: the underdogs win, but they do it by themselves and through unconventional and morally grey means.
