Don’t mind me just crying over Jean Moreau.
I can’t wait to see him continue healing in book 2. 😭
"You're a good boy, you really are! Do you want to go home? Yeah? Wait until you meet Laila and Cat. They are going to love you."
The Most powerful Angels' quartet 🫣 I ended up loving them ngl ngl
at some point i WILL write a jean/cat/laila pov of jeremy's faser hook up
because like do you think the room was really quiet and intense that night? laila and cat doing their best to keep it light but jean noticeably quiet and watching the door waiting for jeremy to come back. until he eventually gives up and says he's going to sleep and then laila gets jeremy's text and jean pretends to be sleeping but he hears her quietly saying she needs to go get jeremy and he can hear the disapproval and disappointment in her tone. jean hears cat say she'll watch over him until laila gets back and then laila's gone and it's just cat and jean and jean closes his eyes and tries to sleep. pretends he doesn't care. laila will bring jeremy back. everything's fine.
but it's not.
because there's still missing truths and there's the teasing about drugs and parties and jean said he would protect jeremy tonight. but he let him leave. he couldn't force him to stay. what else was he supposed to do. then he hears a quiet knock. cat's up in a second but the door opens. jean gets up too but stays out of sight. he can hear their voices. cat's "what the fuck jeremy?" is all he needs before he's moving, catching sight of bruises on jeremy's tanned skin. it looks wrong. it looks ugly. it looks painful.
he promised to protect him. he didn't.
“give Andrew Minyard a pet/plant to take care of” what do you think Kevin Day was.
Andrew stood no chance
Everyone should know the international sign for Help Me. Let’s make this famous!!
Sometimes a friend group is a 37 year old former assassin who caused a whole bunch of political upheaval by killing a lot of guys, hears the voices of those he killed, and has realized he wants a life of peace, a 800+ year old talking sword who really wants to destroy evil but is beginning to realize he has questions about what that means, a 22 year old former highmarshal who accidentally invented therapy, is learning one song on a flute to try and relax, and trying to find a healthy work- life balance, a 1000+ year old spren who's basically god's daughter and a princess who is also learning how to have a healthy work-life balance with her friend, and a 7000+ year old herald who believes in following the law to the letter, really hates that one song, and does not believe in a healthy work- life balance.
Sometimes I think about how hard Andrew was working on himself, even at the beginning of the series. Unlike a lot of the Foxes - those who shunned him and labelled him as a monster - he was trying to better himself, trying to learn how to deal wih his issues.
Yes. His therapy was court mandated. But he chose to engage with it. He chose to share his issues. Not only was he attending therapy, but he was actively working through his issues, combating his trauma and bettering himself.
He realised that he needed help and was actively seeking it. He was facing his demons, even before he met Neil. I don't think andreil would have happened without it.
