Reblog If It's Okay For Your Mutuals To Message You And Create An Actual Friendship, Not Just Interactions

I be reading TGR like religious catholic people read the bible. I’m just living my life doing anything at all and then I’ll be like hmmm what was it he said in that passage?? *takes book out of my pocket and begins reading devoutly* “they… are not… your partners,” Jean 15:2. yes sir, preach.

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.

Nora knows very well the power of traumatised gays in need of emotional comfort (or emotional pain, that book makes me feel pain and comfort in equal measures), she knows she doesnt need promotion

really love that nora does basically no promotion. either you heard about tgr being out because gay people were screaming in your phone, or you didn’t

It's so satisfying to know that Riko, out of all the people that were supposed to be in the perfect court, was the worst player overall (if the others played at full potential).

Like, we know for a fact he was worse than Kevin, that's explicit.

Then we have Neil, who is like... both an amazing striker AND backliner just by having trained for it for the grand total of like...2 years. He knows both roles and plays them top of the line. He is also always the fastest player on the court, and has enough endurance to play full games... he is so well rounded it's scary.

Andrew is just...out of the league when it comes to ability. He is out of any chart canonically. He just never tries -but when he does? To be able to choose how many shots he wants to let go through, to again play full games and letting only what 16 shots in out of HUNDREDS against the ravens?? He is overpowered, nora gave him depression because if he had the passion to play frfr he'd be court by like 19. No college needed.

Jean is able to be one of the best backliners while playing with broken fingers, broken/bruised ribs, being 2 years younger than everyone else, sleep deprived, tortured...the list goes on. He is still out there blowing everyone out of left field. He is big and coordinated, steady on his feet. And unmovable object. In saner and safer conditions he'll shine so hard the fans will need sunglasses. He's harder to point down as objectively better than Riko but like,, you see my point. Even if they were to be equal players he'd still win in the physique department, making him overall better.

Just. I love this.

Then proceeds to say he hates Kevin

I love them both so much 🥺🥺🥺

Their interactions make me wanna hug my pillow, crawl in fetal position and just stay there forever. At the same time I wanna punch a wall, bc how could Riko and Tetsuji hurt so much those two beatifull souls and also make them hurt each other just to survive

I swear, I cant

the way jean speaks about and interacts with kevin is so… *gestures vaguely*

“he has earned the right to be arrogant” SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

“stupid, beautiful kevin” oh! ok i didn’t need my heart anyway

“you are supposed to be better than this” “you have always known what i am” well that’s great for you two! meanwhile i am clawing at the walls of my enclosure

“unspoken: you cannot refuse me” hit like a blow to the head tbh

Im gay af, so everyone is fine around here

quick reminder that my own lesbian-nonbinary-ass genuinely supports the hell outta each and every one of you. regardless if i know you or not, im happy to be living in this shithole of a life in the same world with you.

and im proud of you, i know in my heart just how beautiful, amazing, talented, smart, and worthy you are and i hope you can see that too🏳️‍🌈🌈

You ever think Andrew’s like, folding laundry in his apartment with Neil, throwing socks into their shared drawer because neither of them give a shit about socks, and then he has to pause because…he’s folding laundry.

For him and his boyfriend. Who are both adults with like, health insurance and shit. They say shit like “let’s go home” and “what’s for dinner?” Nothing is separated in their dresser except for workout wear because they need different size compression gear. They have matching jackets in the closet and pictures on the wall. They kiss each other good morning, and hello. They grocery shop. And suddenly Andrew’s nicotine gum is heavy in his pocket, because he stopped smoking so he’ll never be too out of breath to reach Neil.

Andrew has to stop to feel his heart, as if folding t-shirts was running a marathon, because he didn’t think he’d last this long. He didn’t think this was possible.

So Andrew sits in their apartment and feels.

Neil would be like: bitch, I had to feel it in my skin (and under it), now yall have to at least see it

Not getting traumatized alone right here

You ever think that in the AFTG universe there would definitely be a horror movie villain that is based off of Nathan and all the fucked up shit he did as 'The Butcher of Baltimore'.

Like the Foxes find out one is getting made and are doing everything in their power to stop Neil from finding out about it because shit with his dad is just super traumatic right?

Until one day a reporter asks him how he feels about the upcoming movie that is just so obviously based on what shit his dad used to get up to and he's just like "I mean I gave that guy the movie rights because he's right Nathan should get to traumatize everyone. It's not fair that I was keeping it all for myself." before he walks off.

I may legally be an adult but don’t be fooled, I have no idea what the hell im doing

can we repost with Neil Jostens search history
