A Restaurant Named You're Not Supposed To Be Here, Where The Whole Point Is That The Vibes Are Unnerving.

neil allowing himself to be so easily moved by andrew when he fights tooth and nail against everybody else never fails to make me feel insane. like even people neil trusts / knows have good attentions he fights against, most notably wymack when he gets back from evermore. and then u have neil with andrew who he lets into his space so easily who can push him, pin him, grab him, and neil never flinches and never fights bcus the trust he has in him is so absolute.

i think its a really nice understated way to show the flipside of the whole "hey how'd you get andrew to do this thing?" "oh i just asked" dynamic because andrew is presented as this immovable wall that does what he wants and only what he wants to an unreasonable degree, and then throughout the series you see him "fold" for neil over and over again. so it's very easy to point at andrew and go "hey look at how special he treats neil" but by virtue of neil being the narrator you kinda forget that the opposite is happening as well.

Aftg has some of the worst ppl at pretending they dont give an f-. But still, everybody is so oblivious that they fall for it

Kevin and Andrew are the most clear examples.

Like, yeah Andrew, we all 100% believe you played an entire game in abstinence, literally closing the goal like an f-ing wall, just for a bottle of alcohol. HE GOES OUT TO DRINK FOR FREE BASICALLY EVERY FRIDAY AND STEALS WYMACK'S BOTTLES WHEN HE WANTS

Or, yeah Kevin, you only care abt Exy. THATS WHY YOU WASTED TIME TRAINING WHAT WAS ESSENTIALLY A DEAD DUDE

kevin day you fake IDGAFer i saw you call jean your brother and being rude to an interviewer despite your PR image, I saw you send him a new postcard when you found out what happened to the old ones, I saw you being glad Jean loves cooking, loves something, despite the fact he becomes someone you can't recognise any more. I saw you agree to keep training Neil even though he was doomed by his father, I saw you giving Dobson the clear to speak with Jean about your trauma despite not trusting her because she's Andrew's and oh yeah speaking of, I saw you promising him you'll find something he can live for and you did. you fucking liar

He has already started a fight with Kevin on the bus on the way to a game

And everyone had to deal with Kevin fuming and bitching abt this rando (Andrew) on Twitter who was saying all those bad things abt Exy. Everyone had a horrible trip, except Andrew, that was internally laughing his ass off

Kevin didnt notice that coincidentally the guy on Twitter stopped answering the moment Andrew slept and came back to answering the moment he woke up

It is cannon, I was the bus window

Andrew has multiple anonymous Twitter accounts where he hates on exy and has started many of fights with Kevin on Twitter

Kevin Day, the only character in the world who manages to be a perfect 50/50 split between girlboss and boyfailure

i could be convinced im a demigod purely because of how vivid my dreams are but in a way that one of the olympians is completely fucking with me in the dream cast. like none of the plot lines are making sense, im existing across two completely different metaphysical planes, somehow jason grace is there, but im physically experiencing all of it nonetheless

Jean about Neil and Kevin basically: I am intrinsically linked to them, they are me and I am them in some way, I would trust them with my life and would go to the ends of the earth if they asked me to, our fates and souls are intertwined, they are my Achilles heel and I could and would not exist in a world without them in it.

Also Jean: ew no, they’re not my friends, have you met them? Insufferable and annoying.

so much love for the “minor” characters in all for the game. i’m talking dan’s sisters who showed up in custom PSU shirts for the finals, ride or dies like stephanie walker, the PSU soccer team who witnessed… a lot of shenanigans in the athletes dorm, “no bullshit on my watch” coach jimenez, the freshman trojan who’s fingers are covered in band aids, the bazonga line showing jean how to be human again. i love this world and ALL its fake people

“I don’t want you to be like Zane…I don’t want Coach to be like the master. I don’t want to teach Tanner contrition when he continuously fails my drills or to break my racquet over Cat’s back if I think she should have performed better. I don’t ever want to go back to how things were. Maybe you are fools, and I am the biggest fool for indulging you, but better to be reckless fools than Ravens.”

hello i am here to say that if you have not read the EC about wymack recruiting dan you SHOULD, for multiple reasons but especially because this passage kills me and i want to talk about it with people
