Andrew and Aaron being identical is so fucking funny when you think about Andrew being a famous pro Exy player and Aaron being a doctor bc imagine:

you twist your ankle. you go to the hospital. you’re waiting for a doctor to come see you. he pulls back the curtain and- holy shit it’s LeBron-Fucking-James

just thinking about andrew coming off of drugs that made the world too bright and too colourful and now his world is dark and dull until he sees neil with his newly bright orange hair and bright blue eyes, literally bringing the colour back to andrew’s world and andrew realising that yeah it was never a side affect

wymack loses his mind a little everytime Neil responds with “yes coach” in scenarios he should be screaming crying throwing up instead

[bookworms-lair]

Neil: i have good news and bad news. which would you like to hear first?

Wymack:... good?

Neil: it is unlikely that I will ever, EVER, do it again

AFTG is Well Written: a Masterlist

Many people have said the book series All For The Game by Nora Sakavic is badly written. However, I believe it is not. To prove this, I made a compilation of posts that explain why the books are meticusly crafted and amazingly written.

*disclaimer: I'm not claiming the books are perfect or have no mistakes, it is impossible for any book to be that way, I'm just saying that it's not even half as bad some people claim it to be

what if andrew allows kevin one (1) yearly hug and then one year kevin forgets about it. and andrew gets so pissy. he refuses to go to regular practices just to piss kevin off. he goes to the gym at the exact times he's sure kevin won't be there. maybe even refuses to buy vegetables. everything that he knows ticks kevin off, all until kevin realises he missed the hug. it lasts a bit longer this time and andrew refuses to comment on it. he threatens stabbing whan kevin tries to make him acknowledge that was the reason he got annoyed.

Rereading the scene where Kevin finds out about Neil’s past at the banquet made me think that for at least a second, he must’ve been thinking back to the interview with Kathy Ferdinand.

“Oh my god I forced him to go on national television with me………..AND HE WENT THROUGH WITH IT?!”

Poor Kevin man he just wants to play stickball in peace but he has to put up with Neil “I’m fine” Josten on the regular…
