[devi-lishly]

Neil with nerve damage. Neil who has permanently shakey hands after Baltimore. Neil who absolutely hates this fact. Andrew who will hold his hands steady. Andrew who caresses the scars. Andrew who will cover Neil's hands with his own after Neil has been staring at them shaking for a bit too long.

THE TOWER — Andrew Minyard

a symbol of change, destruction and loss. also can be a prediction of a big scandal or crises. shakiness and instability of the tower, which is already beginning to collapse, indicates the inevitability of changes and complete destruction of the old structures. after the events that occured Andrew has to quit following his usual lifestyle based on taking the drugs and learn how to live almost anew having lost this destructive addiction

something i am always thinking about in regard to kevin is that his decision to leave the nest, his moment where he hit his breaking point and decided he couldn't take it anymore, that's the moment that sets the whole series in motion. kevin leaving, kevin going to the foxes, it starts the chain of events that saves his life and the lives of neil, andrew, and jean. it's what gives them all a future and the strength to fight their way out. and fuck, he's scared and mean and a little cowardly, but he leaves. and it's the start of everything. it only makes sense that the story should start and end with him. kevin you are NEVER beating the main character allegations.

You know what the wildest thing about Neil is? The most Commit To The Bit thing about Neil that is legitimately concerning to the heart?

Neil would have absolutely used that kitchen knife. Like... he really would have committed to flaying his own face just to get rid of that tattoo. I don't even think he would have hesitated. He'd just experience Unimaginable Pain by his own hand and he'd eat that shit cus that pain would be better than being marked by Riko in any way resembling ownership.

Like... Neil, baby.... what

nora is so sick n twisted for creating a character who feels like he is only real/existing in memories and then give him a love interest with an eidetic one like wow. that's evil.

[clementinecloudz]

Jean wip. Saw someone say jean with a brace makes them feel seen and honestly same so I might add it in.

i just know aaron randomly called andrew's name and then didn't say anything when andrew appeared to see what he wanted. and i also know andrew occasionally showed up wherever aaron was to stare at him until he got annoyed then walked away. oh and andrew for sure kicked his foot up on the beanbag chair aaron was sitting on so his boot was right next to his head and didn't move it whenever he swatted at it and told nicky to make him put his leg down (as if nicky ever could) while andrew said "im not even touching you" and nicky who has no siblings said "well he's technically right, he's not touching you" while aaron fumed and andrew was smug. i also know that aaron used the "at least mom wanted me" argument multiple times right up until tilda died and then never used it again. andrew took great pleasure in walking into whatever room aaron was in while he was sitting/lying comfortably to cut the light on and then leave. aaron was delighted sometimes when andrew told him to get out of a room for the sole purpose of standing directly outside the threshold bc technically he wasnt in the room anymore. if andrew ever gave aaron any food, the first thing out of aaron's mouth was "what did you do to it" and andrew made sure to never answer. aaron, who was certain he was the most mature between them, would repeat things andrew said in a high-pitched voice until andrew threw various objects at his head. they were equally confused and appalled in therapy when informed that these things were not signs they hated each other, but were in fact the complete opposite.

The thing about Neil's mistrust of Betsy is that unlike most fictional characters who dismiss psychologists, Neil doesn't write off her profession as quackery, nor does he consider himself well adjusted.

Neil knows he's fucked up. He knows his personality is paper thin, just another layer of papier mâché that he has spent his life trying to keep anyone from cracking open and seizing the calcified corpse of Nathaniel within.

Neil's existence hinges on total control over his own identity and being able to reinvent it on a dime. The idea that someone not only can, but in fact has made a professional career out of wresting that control away from him, cracking open the layers of paper and glue and not reaching for the center but making him look, is nothing short of a death sentence.

[darkblueboxs]

Not only does he refuse to dismiss Betsy and her profession, but he respects that she is helpful to others in a way that she can’t be to him; even though Neil wants nothing to do with her personally, he can recognise and respect the work she does to help Andrew and the others, to the point that he even forces the twins into therapy together because he understands the potential of her practice
