"Fight Because You Don't Know How To Die Quietly. Win Because You Don't Know How To Lose. This King's

I abolutely love Jean

Seriously, the man is an icon

jean-yves moreau is the Character of all time. he’s bisexual. he’s french. he hates being social. he refuses to go anywhere alone. “chances of them knowing french?” “none. they’re american.” he doesn’t know how to make friends. he almost broke someone’s neck for his self declared partner. on the topic of said partner jean stood between his legs with his shirt half unbuttoned “platonically”. he hates english and he’s right. “a single word is seldom rude enough to make a point.” he’s canonically called someone a half-baked baguette. he owns two shirts and they’re both black. “your apologies are as useful as perfume on a frog.” he hasn’t seen a microwave in years. he doesn’t celebrate national holidays. absolutely classic.

"Freakin' out on the interstate" describes pretty well Kevin at the night he scaped the Ravens

Don’t ask me to make sense of this just know I’m Right

Can we talk about the attack on the Foxes and exactly how many triggers that's going to set off?

How much do you want to bet that Lane swung for Neil's ribs first because he'd mouthed off in the interview and revealed that Jean had had broken ribs? How long until Jean puts it together and blames himself for the fact that he and Neil now share matching rib fractures from the Ravens? (Neil doesn't care. He'd do it all again).

Andrew has a broken collarbone so bad it needed surgery, and he's going to have to wear a sling for several weeks. He's immobilized and unarmed (literally if he can't wear a knife on his injured arm. A knife in the armband of his working arm would do nothing because he can't draw it with one hand). And Andrew has an immense fear of being too weak to defend himself, especially with a broken bone to make him a target.

Kevin. He's finally grown a spine and this is the first time we see him literally fight the Ravens. He throws hands in defense of his Foxes, and Neil in particular, when Kevin from a year before would never have. But he saw Andrew, his protector, his shield, the man he promised he would make Court, with a hand dangling limp and useless at his side thanks to a broken bone. How many hours did it take before they got Andrew into an x-ray and saw that it was fixable? How long did Kevin stare at Andrew's limp hand, memories of Riko and his own broken bones going through his mind?

Allison was off the court, but that's the part that's going to kill her. Only she, Renee, Nicky, and the freshmen were off the court, but the freshman don't count. Allison had to watch through plexiglass walls as her team was hurt, unable to do anything to help, and she probably thought how many times is this going to happen? How many times am I going to be sidelined while my friends are hurt? how many times will I be useless in protecting them from the Ravens? (It's been one year since Seth died. Since Allison let him go out and lost him and she's never stopped wondering if things would have gone differently if she had been there that night.)

Nicky is also stuck outside the plexiglass, watching as Andrew is the first to go down. He remembers Andrew fighting for him outside Eden's, remembers how Andrew never regretted defending Nicky even when it got him put on those hated meds. And he can't help but feel like a useless guardian because he wasn't there when Andrew was attacked at Thanksgiving (he was the reason Andrew was in that house) and he isn't there now. All he can do is watch.

The Foxes have a long road to recovery and they've definitely survived worse. But with so many old scars torn open, this year might be just as rough as the last

So I have been thinking and I noticed one kind of disturbing thing in the backstories revealed in TGR

So, we all know Jean tried to end his own life at the Nest and Riko tortured him for it and then locked him basically on a box with breathing holes

During the time Jean was locked in there, Kevin went to talk to him and made him promise to not try it again, bc he wouldnt be able to handle being left alone with Riko again (before Jean's arrival when they were all 14ish, it was just Kevin and Riko). Jean promised it to him, and not matter how much he wanted to, he never dared to break the promise, even after Kevin had left.

Riko never knew this talk or this promise happened, which means that this mtf probably thought the reason why Jean never tried to kill himself again was bc of the torture he faced after he tried it 🤡

Like, Riko was probably outhere thinking that locking someone up in a coffin for days is a super effective way to prevent future suicide attempts (kinda ironic since Riko died of "suicide", aah the karma that came to this little bitch will never not me amazing to me)

Anyways, just wanted to share with yall my disturbing thought of the night

Yess

Like, that "give your game to me" shit with Neil was the most non-straight interaction I have ever seen in my life

That sh*t was literally screaming homosexuality

Or him taking Jean's hands, the way he talks abt Jeremy

There is no way our diva queen of Exy is straight, I cant accept it

its truly poetry that kevin “it’s better to be straight” day only has 4 friends and both pairs of them are gay and fucking each other

Guess they are all just gay freaks afterall

Also, Nicky's foreshadowing right there was crazy

(The Foxhole Court, ch.6)

I'm coming back to this and laughing because it turns out that 'fuck you, faggot' didn't really narrow it down either

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.

Heard someone telling their kid that boys shouldnt cry and I was like "wtf??? Is this ths Middle Ages???"

Then I remembered there are a lot of mtf who still think like that

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

i know jeremy & laila and cat & jean are The best friend duos but i wanna talk about cat & jeremy and laila & jean.

cat kisses jeremy’s knuckles. laila brushes and plays with jean’s hair. cat giving barkbark to jeremy becomes the start of their friendship. jean feels safe and comfortable enough to talk about elodie to laila and braids her hair as he did to elodie. jeremy feels so relieved to see cat & jean on his doorstep that he almost tears up. laila says “we’re his people” about jean. cat hugs jeremy from behind and says “we need you more than she does. she doesn’t deserve you.” laila takes the painting that jean chose for their home. cat is the first person to say ‘i love you’ to jeremy.

they’re a family. all four of them.

Neil’s eyes, the color of the sky. Jean’s, the moon that dwells there. A forever partner, forever misplaced. These two make me sick
