Reblog To Save A Muslim

Since you asked for dc characters and outfits how about Kon in this one?

Oh man he'd look so great in this!

Wearing all black but he makes it work!

Nicky is so under appreciated

so Nicky’s in the bank withdrawing some money for groceries or something and he almost faints.

He and Eric were not poor at all, Eric’s job paid well and Nicky’s own job wasn’t too shabby.

But there was no way they had accumulated this much money without either of them noticing. It was an obscene amount.

Nicky spends the next hour talking with Erik over the phone, hashing out their deposits and their withdrawals together and they come to the conclusion that it must be a mistake.

So Nicky goes to the bank teller who leads him to one of the bankers and they determine that someone else deposited the money, someone whose named Andrew Minyard.

Half a world away, Andrew picks up his phone to his cousin sounding confused.

“Andrew you accidentally deposited a shitload of money in our account, how do we send it back?”

“No, that was on purpose. Keep it.”

“What?”

So Andrew thinks he gets paid way too much for what he’s doing.

He’s just smacking a ball around with a stick.

Even though he is more invested in the sport now, cares more, that’s still not a whole lot.

So on his free time, he calculated the cost of taking care of him and Aaron for the time Nicky had.

And sent the money over.

The moment Nicky heard this he started crying.

So now Andrew has Nicky crying on the phone, for what has to be the second time since they separated.

Nicky has to explain that not only do they not need the money, but Andrew also doesn’t need to pay for anything Nicky gave him and that him taking care of Aaron and Andrew wasn’t a transaction or a deal. It was just him loving them and trying to let them have a less shitty childhood than they already had.

It takes a lot of Andrew grunting not happily and Nicky sniffling and even putting Eric on the line to convince Andrew.

So now what do they do with the money?

They agree to donate it

Half goes to charities that help abused kids get help

Half goes to a charity that’s working to ban conversion therapy and help lgbt kids

So they have to hang up, cause Andrew was to go to practice soon and Nicky has to go figure out that much money

Before they hang up Andrew goes quiet and Nicky thinks that he already hung up before

“Nicky.”

Nicky pays close attention, sure that he’s going to try to convince him again or something

“Thank you.”

Andrew immediately hangs up and Nicky wants to cry again

a few years after neil and andrew go pro and the minyard-josten rivalry is put to rest, they decide to come out

the rivalry was fun while it lasted but really, andrew and neil just want to be able to be together without having to pretend that they hate it each other (because they don’t, quite the opposite actually)

so they hold a press conference with a trusted reporter (one neil can actually get along with. there’s only minimal banter) and they reveal to the public that they’re in a relationship, have been since college actually

and there’s a lot of backlash

a lot of bad backlash

it sparks a discussion that not only affects neil and andrew, but affects every single lgbtqia+ player in the league

should homosexuality be allowed in sports?

exy isn’t as bad as football, but it’s still not great for lgbt players. especially players who are out and planning (or are, in andrew and neil’s case) to go pro

neil is FUMING. andrew is a bit disappointed, but mostly irritated. he wanted to be left alone but now he can’t go anywhere without a microphone being shoved into his face

andrew and neil are hounded by press for weeks. when they play, slurs are hurled at them like grenades

they’re not allowed to give interviews after games anymore (reporters don’t care about the game, and put neil josten in front of a camera when he’s already on edge and pissed off and you will dearly regret it. andrew simply flips off every camera he sees, which is also not good)

neil gets benched for two games after punching a reporter in the face after they said something compeletly insensitive

there is even talk circulating about not letting andrew or neil play at all, at least for the rest of the season

it’s really, really bad

kevin told them this would happen. it’s easier to be straight while playing exy. kevin knows this, and he told andrew and neil that this would happen

but they’re his friends, his teammates, his family

and he can’t stand by and listen to the horrible things said to them or let them be kicked out of the league

andrew is the best goalie to ever exist and neil is a phenomenal striker. barring them from exy simply because they are in love just isn’t right

and it’s time for kevin to face some things about himself as well

so when kevin is asked to hold a press conference with all the big-name exy associates, he has never felt so nervous since college when he told the world the truth about his broken hand and who his father really is

kevin walks into the room, lined with reporters and people responsible for every pro team in america. cameras start flashing immediately

this is kevin day, olympic champion kevin day, son of exy kevin day

he’s easily the most influential person in that room. queen

kevin walks through the room of reporters and cameras and ignores all the questions thrown his way like a queen ignores the people below him

“kevin, kevin day, what are your thoughts on teammates minyard and josten coming out? do you support them?”

“do you think they should be allowed to continue playing?”

“answer the question, mr. day.”

and kevin signals out one, single reporter. the man perks up because he, out of all the reporters in the room, has caught the attention of this exy legend

this is live, broadcasted across the entire country, the entire world, even, and everyone is on the edge of their seats because kevin day is about to speak

“kevin day, should lgbt exy players be barred from the game?”

kevin leans in close to the microphone, his eyes never wavering from the camera trained on his face and says:

“i’m bisexual.”

kevin calling wymack dad? love it. kevin begins to call him dad often enough that the foxes accidentally do it too? LOVE that. i feel like kevin might be embarrassed about calling him dad in front of the others at first, but then they would all call him dad to make him feel better. bonus points if someone says "coach dad"

supporting kevin as he figures out how to have a dad is so important and good thank u for thisImagine how Wymack gets choked up the first time he hears Kevin call him “Dad.” It’s too fast and too loud because Kevin had to psyche himself up to do it and everyone stares for a second because Kevin just shouted the word “DAD” across the courtKevin’s face is bright red and he knows he was planning to say something after that but he can’t rememberWymack coughs and makes sure his expression is properly grumpy and says, calm as he can, “Yeah, son?”(They get back to practice but Renee pauses to clasp Kevin’s arm on her way to the goal) (ALSO once all the Foxes are used to calling Wymack dad they do it all the time. The Foxes lying around the meeting room thing in the court while Wymack is trying to get work done in his office and just going “Dad. Dad. Coach Dad. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Dad come out here,”Wymack stomps into the room, shaking a fistful of papers, and shouts that only one of them is actually related to him so they all can get out and leave him alone. He grumbles at them to eat a proper dinner before they go. Can’t have his athletes falling over in the middle of a game because they don’t know how to feed themselves.They’re annoying, but they’re his kids, so what can he do?)

The real unsung hero in AFTG was Nickys high school teacher who saw how depressed he was becoming and decided that he needed to be as far away from his parents as he could get.

Some of you have never thought about Nicky’s PTSD from his time in conversion therapy, and it shows.

14th November 2018

I need to fucking go off on one because this is a load of barnacles:

After Kevin tells Wymack he’s his father, no one asks Kevin if he’s OK.

No, “that must’ve been really hard for you, Kev, let us know if we can do anything,” no, “hey, that was really brave of you,” no, “I hope you and coach will work this out together.”

Nothing.

Dan talks to him, except she’s pissed off at him for hurting Wymack, which of course I understand, and yes, Wymack’s feelings are important, too, but Dan, babe, can you put yourself in Kevin’s place for a hot second?

It even says in the book that Matt had to talk her out of hitting Kevin where bruises would show, what the fuck? And after they talk, Dan goes and sits on Matt’s lap, AND KEVIN GOES AND SITS ON THE OUTSKIRTS ALONE. Like he’s being punished for being a complex human being.

He doesn’t even talk for 20 pages! He says nothing from the moment they decide to go to the cabin to the beginning of the next chapter!

Kevin needed someone that trip, and as per usual he was let down, because he’s evil trash, I guess, and doesn’t deserve to be understood or empathised with, apparently.

My boi was done fucking dirty in general, but I’m genuinely so angry about this.

You can’t tell me Nicky and Aaron didn’t invent code names for each upperclassman so they could talk shit about them in German without attracting any attention if they said their names.
