#1 season one Jayce Talis defense page

Hi, I'm Kepler! 25 - Lesbian - she/her he/him Hi hello if you're finding me here from tiktok, I am way less filtered here. Welcome to the mean horny social media ive been like this on here since 2013 and I'm not stopping now.

Imagine that, instead of secretly dating Thea, Kevin had been dating Jeremy all this time. A long-distance relationship, kept alive through late night phone calls whenever none of the Ravens were around to listen.

Jean discovers the truth when he's sent to California. Kevin trusts no one but his boyfriend to look after him, and Jean is completely thrown off by the revelation. Of course, he knows why he's jealous of Jeremy, he's dating the boy Jean has been pining after for years. However, with every day that passes, that jealousy becomes harder to understand as Jean starts to fall unintentionally for Jeremy too.

Having a crush on a boy who's already taken is difficult enough. Imagine having a crush on two boys who are dating each other.

In the end, it doesn't matter who he likes. There is no place for him between them. Or at least, that's what Jean thinks. What Jean doesn't know is that Kevin and Jeremy have been waiting for the right moment to make a move on him.

Saving this to write a fic later

this feels like a lukewarm take but i really love how it’s implied (if not outright stated, i can’t remember) that kevin was made to be so unlikeable in the eyes of the other ravens because if kevin is the bitchy diva then riko is the likable one. riko can be the reasonable one, can act just as annoyed as the rest of them, roll his eyes and act the victim. and having kevin be the “common enemy” gives them all someone to bond over hating yknow

[trash-tzar]

Literally no bigger AFTG ick than when Kevin is belittled and punished for not being a perfectly agreeable abuse victim after living in hell on earth for 10+ years

[trash-tzar]

Sometimes I remember that at some point during Kevin's last book theres gonna be a point that definitively kills my dream of a kerejean endgame and I feel genuine anguish

[moaloves]

“Oh my god, I can't believe Kevin day fumbled two different situation ships” Kevin Day who surgically removed himself from the people he loved when he realized he was not the better option. Kevin day who even when he's the first option knows he's never the best option. Kevin Day who lets people use him as they learn to love each other and themselves until he has no use anymore and lets them go even as they rip parts of himself away when they leave. Kevin day who is always the first choice and never the last.

I pose to you a deliberately ignorant Kevin instead of oblivious Kevin. A Kevin who learned to ignore others interests in him because acknowledging the attention meant putting them direct danger of Riko’s wrath . A deliberately oblivious Kevin as a coping/protective mechanism. One that takes a while to unlearn.

there were handcuffs attached to Kevin’s bed???? Why aftg citizens sleeping on this wake tf up😭

[boredfangirl16]

Kevin having the strength to leave the nest ended up saving everyone’s lives.

People always talk about how Kevin fumbled Jean and Jeremy, but what they dont realize is that Kevin gave Jean up, not because he didnt care, but precisely the opposite

Kevin has never been in a position where he could do anything for Jean beyond patching him up. Then Renée saves Jean, Neil strikes the deal with Ichirou and, for the first time in his life, Kevin has the chance to actually do something good for the one person he cares the most.

And Kevin doesnt believe he can be the best for the Jean. Honestly, I dont really think he believes he can be the best for anyone. I dont think he believes he deserves It either, but that's another conversation entirely.

So he does what he thinks It is best for Jean and sends him away. And Kevin isnt stupid. He knows Jean has a crush on Jeremy and he knows very well there is a high chance something more might come out of both of them being 'partners'.

Still, he sends Jean away. And he does so because he wants Jean to be happy. He hopes this happiness might include him in whatever way Jean would allow It, but if it doesn't, to Kevin It doesn't matter. What matters is that he finally has one chance do It right by Jean and he doesn't want to let the other down again.

Kevin doesn't fumble Jean, he lets Jean go knowing exactly what he is loosing but also knowing he would never be able to live with himself If he passed up on the chance to give Jean the best he could give.

If this meant never having him, If this meant never even trying, then so be it, that was a price Kevin was willing to pay.

You cannot fumble something If you do not believe yourself worthy of even trying to persuit It, If you let It Go

I don't think we reflect enough on how hard it is to watch someone you care about be brutalised, just stand there and watch, and then pull their pieces back together.

Jean was traumatised doing it for Neil and he barely knew him.

Kevin had do that all the time for Jean. All the time. And we can see in TSC that they have almost a second language when it comes to touch, or checking him over, and how unflinchingly Kevin doesn't even act to Jean puking, or how much of a caretaker he is when it comes to Jean.

But what gets me is that I don't think Jean was allowed to do much of the same in return for Kevin. There is only one mention of Jean being allowed to piece Kevin back together and it is when Riko does his hand, and Kevin uses that to send Jean to get Riko out of the room and then escapes.

Jean never mentions another time he was allowed to take care of Kevin. And we know that even if we believe Riko didn't brutalise Kevin (doubtful) or didn't brutalise Kevin to the same extent (I won't burn you Kevin bc we can't explain that but there's other things to do to you) we do know that Tetsuji did. And has done since Kevin was nine, or even under.

And sure before Jean got there Riko had to be the one right? Or Riko and maybe Josiah Smalls?? (Which is horrifying given Kevin and Jeans reactions to him). But after that, when Jean is there, does Riko just never let him take care of Kevin? Does Riko keep Kevin to himself in those moments? I can't see Riko being a caretaker. I bet he's rough and nasty with it. But he's also possessive. Does Kevin never get any proper care and affection when he is recovering?

Is that one of the reasons he is so, so delicate with Jean?

Does Jean ever hate it? Seeing Kevin be pulled away from him and then not even taken care of? Does he try to make it better later? Or does he chalk it up to they're partners and I'm not?? Jean later reflects that Kevin was always the strong one. He never thought about Kevin not being that. So maybe he didn't think about what Kevin needed after it all, because Kevin was so good at hiding after so many years. Kevin was conditioned with the words "can you play? Yes or no?" And that's all that matters.

Does seeing Kevin broken and drinking himself to death make Jean turn his mind back to all those times Kevin held him after and all those times he couldn't hold Kevin after and it breaks him a little?

[charleeyy]

you know what? kevin and jean actually are the good ending of orpheus and eurydice.

if kevin had not walked away without looking back, jean would never have made it out of that hell.

[persephoneflouwers]

You should never open tiktok comment section:)

[pagerunner-j]

Somebody please give the WSDOT social media folks a raise.

[5buny]

some aftg fans need to understand that jean will beat the shit out of yall for speaking the way you do about kevin out here

[arothroughtheheart]

Listen. Kayleigh and Tetsuji founded exy together. Tetsuji is Kevin's godfather. Those two were friends, probably good ones.

I don't know which is worse: That Kayleigh never saw Tetsuji's bad side, because she didn't look closely enough or he hid it from her; Or that Tetsuji really was the person Kayleigh thought he was, and that either changed after her death or his redeeming qualities never extended to anyone but her.
