the aftg fandom literally pulled Jerjean out of our asses but like i’m not complaining…

[sweetshiitakemushrooms]

coming back to this post 7 years later with Jerjean canon (and 2 additional aftg books hallelujah) was simply never what i expected.

2. happiness

3. the 1975

4. part of the band

5. about you

6. i’m in love with you

7. when we are together

8. human too

9. oh caroline

10. wintering

11. all i need to hear

but, in reality, they’re all number 1.

Neil: *fake name, fake ID, fake birthday, fake hair and eye color, fake background story*

Andrew: Hm, that seems like a person with a totally legit driver's license. I'm gonna let him drive the Maz.

Something I've never seen pointed out in the aftg fandom is a certain aspec of the scene where Neil and Andrew are sleeping together in the cabin and Renee knocks on the door. We talk about how great it is that Neil reaches for a gun and hits Andrew's arm instead - something that will still protect him.

But can we appreciate that Andrew was asleep? Andrew who we see sleeping through a lot of different things from team meetings to bus rides, but will wake up violently when he's touched. When Renee knocks, its described as a tap of her nails. I don't see that actually waking Andrew, but Neil touching his arm in a desperate search for a gun? That would wake him up, but Andrew doesn't lash out at Neil. He just looks at him before getting out of bed.

Now, Andrew could have already been awake and Neil didn't know it or maybe a tap of nails did wake him, but I think Andrew was asleep. I think even then Andrew trusted Neil more than anyone knew. I think he kept reminding himself about Neil's presence before falling asleep (to the point he put his arm under Neil's pillow) so he wouldn't react violently when Neil inevitably shifted and touched him in his sleep. I think he used Neil's head on his arm as a grounding technique because he didn't want to risk hurting Neil when he was already so injured and he just likes being close to him. And I think this moment speaks volumes to Andrew's healing and just how much he loves his feral boyfriend.

[be-queer-do-arson]

imagine if you will. you're a bus boy at edens. one day a jumpy kid comes up to you and pays you a hundred bucks to knock him out just to avoid talking to this group of guys. then like a month later they all show up together again? and it becomes a regular occurrence? they almost seem like friends? and then a couple of months later the jumpy one and the crazy blond are making out in every dark corner they can find and you're just there like how??? how did we get here?
