happy to be with you
Who would win:
Jesper Fahey or that Turkish dad from the Olympics
Can they flirt, aftg edition
Andrew: can but hates it. Makes him feel desperate. Also the man of his dreams registered none of it and literally only responded to Andrew being a weirdo so clearly it's all a scam.
Dan: yes, but can't see it as more than an act for when you want to get into someone's pants. Makes life hell for Matt before they start dating. Makes life *very fun* once they do.
Allison: absolutely. Does not respect any man who falls for it.
Matt: learned from watching guys try to flirt with his mom and her boxing friends, so his tactics are somewhat...demographically skewed. Eats shit when trying to romance Dan.
Aaron: Contrary to what second-hand accounts may tell us, this man is oozing charisma. Med student jock who goes to therapy, it's the whole package. If he were nine inches taller he would be the main character.
Nicky: bagged a man with high school-level grasp of his language. Raised two teens on a bartender salary. The results speak for themselves.
Kevin: nope. This man is fake as hell, star factor is doing alllllll the heavy lifting here. Unless you're as obsessed with exy as he is, in which case you're liable to confuse his attention *on* you with attention *to* you. Many have fallen victim to this effect. There is no support group.
Seth: chernobyl-level "you could fix me" aura
Renee: you're not sure if she's flirting or just being nice. Your friends are no help. Her friends seem to have a monetary incentive in the answer and can't be trusted. Your best shot might literally be praying for mercy.
Neil: ITS A TRAP HE'S STEALING YOUR WALLET
They will never make me hate Kevin Day.
Growing up he never knew his dad. His mom died when he was young. He'll only ever be able to know her through other people's stories, silently hating himself and resenting them for knowing her more than he ever will. Even though she is remembered as a celebrity, memories fade, imagine him asking himself, would I even remember what she looked like if there weren't articles and pictures of her? Plus, it's incredibly unlikely he was given time to grieve or ask questions about his parents and family history once he was abducted into the nest. No. In fact, Kevin was no longer the son of Kayleigh Day, instead he was forced into the role of a 'son of exy'. He holds on to the sport so tightly, partially because he was raised a Raven, but also because it is the only tangible thing he has that belonged to his mom. He probably dosent know any stories about Kayleigh except for ones reported in the news, and he knows from experience that a media persona is much different than the person behind it. Tetsuji certainly dosent seem like the type of guy who would have sat a young Kevin down and told him about his mom. And Kevins relationship with Wymack is not easy to navigate, it will probably take a while before he asks Wymack to tell him about Kayleigh. Exy is the only thing he's ever been able to safely have that connects him to his mom in a meaningful way. Kevin had to build a media persona as a teen, smiling and acting like he and Riko were brothers and best friends. Growing up, he watched as Riko became more ruthless and hateful. Was he worried of becoming like him? Or was violence already so normalized by Tetsuji and the Ravens that young Kevin was already desensitized? People call him selfish, egotistical, an asshole, a coward. And, yea he kinda is all those things, but he's also much more.
I wrote this cause I was procrastinating doing my math homework so it's probably only partially coherent, I have so many more thoughts about this diva but I'll save those for another day
