Something that stood out to me in my aftg reread was how unhinged the upperclassmen actually are.

Matt fucking Boyd and his willingness to absolutely go at anyone, anywhere, any time. There's a scene where Kevin tells him to foul another player on the opposing team and Neil specifically points out the unrepentant grin he has on his face as he waltzes off court after it happens. He also is described as the best player on the foxes line up multiple times by Neil and his play style is aggressive, he uses his height and build to his advantage and he doesn't hold back.

Allison and Andrew have the exact same style of serving cunt, in that if you don't interest them they will not even acknowledge your existence. A player from another team attempted to score on the goal and both Allison and Andrew stood still and watched them miss with such bitchy indifference it probably gave that player ptsd. They also both have a habit of cutting through bullshit and demanding truth ESPECIALLY regarding topics other people would shy away from. Badass blonde bombshells.

Dan Wilds is just as rabid about Exy as Kevin and her every first thought goes to the game first just like Kevin. She's just better at making her second thought go to something else. She literally knew the second Seth was out of the picture that there was an opportunity there and she didn't even really hesitate to talk to Matt about it. She looked at Neil and whatever fucked up little thing he had going on with Andrew (as it would have looked to an outsider, let's remember that they all knew Andrew took him to Columbia and drugged him) and was like, how can we use this to make the team stronger. Like Nicky used Neil to manipulate Andrew but Dan did it better and with much more calculation.

Renee I don't even really need to talk about because Neil was always wary of her but there is one scene where Neil let's slip about his father's penchant for knives and Renee's reaction and understanding gave me chills. Renee uses that part of her to protect and that's really great because she would be terrifying otherwise.

Quick little Neil matt sketch

[kandreilcats]

Are you man enough? And this is Andrew, who lost himself forever in childhood to violence because his mother was an irresponsible bitch. And it's little Aaron who doesn't understand why his mother hates him so much. And this is Nicky hiding an important part of himself to simply continue being his parents' son. And it's Kevin hiding all his injuries behind drinking and training, he pushes away all feelings when in reality he has the kindest heart. And Neil doesn't even know who he is, because he never had the opportunity to have and develop his own personality. And it is Alison who hides herself behind a mask of indifference, not allowing herself a single drop of weakness. And it's Rene who gives her all to be a good person. And this is Dan, who never had a good role model, becoming that example for others. And this is Matt who always opens his heart when people need it and suffers afterwards. And this is Seth who didn't even have a chance.
