There’s something about Kevin, who was likely forced to play through serious injuries, who knew what Jean had to play through, being so protective of Neil and scolding him about taking care of himself and not pushing himself too far. He won’t let Neil just say he’s fine, he won’t let Neil unnecessarily push himself through the pain. I think that’s his way of rejecting the Nest and Tetsuji and Riko.
is the witcher fandom even on here? or existing beyond polish dads? idk but worth a try
Why waste our words when lips were made for extraordinary things...
you should be able to call into work if you get a story idea. like i’m really sorry i can’t come in today im going to need 72 hours off to cope with my visions of This Guy
Every time my boyfriend and I hug after not seeing each other for a while there is always this moment where the whole world goes quiet.
We both breath out the weight of the world and just hold each other, it’s nice. It’s always nice.
they need to invent drinking that's good for you and a way to fuck music
nonverbal character partnered with friend who never shuts up is ideal, but only when the nonverbal friend has a distinct personality as well
GOD.
LOOK AT HIM.
LOOK.
i am going to throw up
'jack has family in santa fe' 'jack was born in santa fe' 'jack has some kind of tragic relation to santa fe' no no NO you dont UNDERSTAND jacks santa fe isn't REAL!!! NONE OF IT IS!!! jack yearns for santa fe BECAUSE he has no connection to it!!! he has no expectations of it at all, he just found a place that was as opposite to new york as he could imagine and pinned all his hopes on it, THAT'S THE TRAGEDY OF IT ALL!!! if jack did go to santa fe, he'd realize all too quickly that this was not the fantasy he built up in his head. he will always feel out of place wherever he goes because the thing he's running from is a piece of himself that he has to reckon with, that's the whole point!! family isn't something he'll just stumble upon by chance, it's something he has to be brave enough to make for himself. his santa fe could've been ANYWHERE. thats why "i'm dead if i can't count on you today" was so gut-wrenching, because he CAN'T count on santa fe. ever. IT'S NOT REAL.
jack yelling “cheese it, it’s the bulls!” in livesies after romeo gets punched is so 92sies jack of him

“Riko still believes he can win his father's attention with his fame. If the lord does not recover, Riko will take his anger and grief out on everyone around him."
Neil considered that, then said, "Good thing you're not there anymore."
"Jean still is," Kevin answered.
aaron minyard they could never make me hate you <333
My bf has been telling me the recent discourse that has been surrounding Kevin Day on this god awful social media platform (I live in peace and harmony where everyone I interact with/follow likes him so I’m having a great time)
BUT WITH THAT HERE IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
stop reading solely from Neil’s perspective, or if you are going to, at least acknowledge that he is unreliable.
We as readers know that we cannot trust any opinion that comes out of that kids mouth and this is proven multiple times not only by him straight up lying but by the way he interacts with the world around him and his private thoughts on situations. Why WOULD this deeply traumatized 19 year old runaway have sound characterization of everyone he is around.
Kevin is a character that is rooted fundamentally in his environment, he is a product of that. If you want to make critiques about how that is written, be my guest, you absolutely should, but you should not completely disregard his narrative purposes because of your problematic fav.
He is 21, a college student trying to not only heal from what should have been a career ruining injury but also just the mental hellscape that he abruptly left and abandoned after spending his entire childhood submitting to, and the future it provided. I think it’s okay if he’s a little rude sometimes, he’s human.
They all are, that is the point.
Kevin:
watches a man get cut into pieces, literally being tortured to death in the most brutal way possible at the ripe age of eight
gets abused and tortured to the brink of insanity
was told his whole life that he is Riko's pet, and is not to disobey him or Tetsuji
^ does anyway
has to watch, and often help torture his best friend, who is two years younger than him
's mother died and left him in a cult when he was in elementary school
didn't know his own father until he was 15
begged in every langauge he knew to stop being tortured
's headboard didn't move an inch. Neil was in his spot for two weeks, and survived not because he didn't break, but because Jean did. Neil said he'd never been in so much pain.
was not raised as a human being
is owned by the Yakuza, a notorious and insanely powerful mafia
was raised to be an athlete and nothing else, then broke his hand and thought he'd never play again, meaning he'd be killed
is a Fox through and through
fought his way through a cult mindset to the point that he can have fun with his friends, eat ice cream, sleep when he feels like it, etc.
cares tremendously about his Foxes
makes deals with people who have nothing else to live for in order to keep them alive
is twenty two years old. is only 4 years out of high school. is a literal child, and WAS a literal child when he left EAU
some random ass anons who probably read the books when they were 13 and haven't taken their heads out of their asses since then:
kEviN dAy iS a cOwaRd !?!???!!!!!!
shut the fuck up I'm so done with this. these people have no fucking clue what they're talking about and i guarantee most of them are just looking for attention and trying to get a rise out of people.
it stops being fictional when people who went through the same shit he did have to see a bunch of people talking out of their ass about things they don't and never will understand
i love how the newsies side of tumblr has just collectively decided to obsess over some tap dancing, singing, poor newspaper boys from 1899. because, yes, that is totally a normal thing you hear about every day
Arthur is so older sister core
“you’re my brother.”
“i know.”
Whenever I need to lock in, whether it be at my job or at school I think of Adam Parrish
And I’m being SO SERIOUS cause if that kid can find a dead welsh king while being semi possessed by a magical dream forest and still keep a merit scholarship I can work my closing shift.
My heart goes out to those fighting this battle ❤️🩹
i’m going to have to take my newsie cap off santa fe style about this
“When my nineteen-year-old son turns on the kitchen tap and leans down over the sink and tilts his head sideways to drink directly from the stream of cool water, I think of my older brother, now almost ten years gone, who used to do the same thing at that age; And when he lifts his head back up and, satisfied, wipes the water dripping from his cheek with his shirtsleeve, it’s the same casual gesture my brother used to make; and I don’t tell him to use a glass, the way our father told my brother, because I like remembering my brother when he was young, decades before anything went wrong, and I like the way my son becomes a little more my brother for a moment through this small habit born of a simple need, which, natural and unprompted, ties them together across the bounds of death, and across time … as if the clear stream flowed between two worlds and entered this one through the kitchen faucet, my son and brother drinking the same water.”
