getting mugged by a bisexual man? ask him about his relationship with his father and the coast is clear
Was going to spend this afternoon finally formatting TGR's file for release, but I am at New Address and all of my project files are at Old Address still. So is my final batch of pre-release fun facts. Guess we're winging it from what useless details I remember:
-TGR ended at 24 chapters, 12-12 split iirc -Took about 7 restarts over way too many months to finally lock in a first chapter I could move forward with. The original Chapter One now happens later. -Found the most perfect song for Jeremy but can't post it yet. Sent it to four friends at like 3am the other day because I needed them to agree with me ('twas unanimous) -This time 'round I *think* I only have 2 reference pics to share, but will wait a week or more to post 'em. Maybe when I update the tags on that last song (last two songs? Idk) -My notes for 3 are about 16pages long so far, so I will probably have to kms at some point this year to avoid actually writing it all out. On the bright side, 3 has had a title & an ending since last summer so I don't have to worry about those two points at least
HANNIBAL X ANDREIL LETS GOOOOOOO
the dorm room beds aren’t made to fit two, but they make it work 🧡🔑
ID in ALT text
tfc trailer would go so insanely hard because i'd end it with the bit on KF where the crowd all starts chanting KING KING KING and the camera cuts progressively faster between neil and kevin and andrew in the crowd and then right before riko steps onstage we get black screen and then the date the season comes out. Somebody give me infinite money i could DO IT
Sometimes Neil was so lonely and so starving for touches, that he hold his own hand during the night.
Sometimes Andrew was so disconsolate and afraid, that he squished his own fist with the other hand under the pillow.
One day they were sleeping together and Neil’s hand finds Andrew’s and they won’t let go each other anymore.
aftg + twilight!au pt.2 (literally canon interaction)
I don't often post like. Fandom work. But I'm very proud of this thing I colored and rendered on stream <3
Me when them. They're important to me.
Neil to Andrew once he figures out wtf a s’more is
scenes that we know happen but that i would give a lung to have written out by nora sakavic (or scenes i'd like to see from other povs)
andrew choking kevin after neil gets kidnapped from andrew's pov (i just NEED to know the fear and anger andrew must've felt in that moment. and kevin "you were always going to lose him" day like isn't that just so crazy)
aaron's trial from neil's pov (i would honestly love any pov of this but i feel like neil as someone who isn't very involved in the situation would provide the most insightful pov and GOD I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH the THINGS i would do to have a whole book about neil's sophomore year GODDDD)
the garter scene after nicky's wedding from andrew's pov (late-twenties neil is SO unserious i just know it)
nicky's wedding from literally anyone's pov (it would be just like. pure joy tbh.)
dan + matt's wedding from dan/matt's pov (again. see above.)
katelyn + aaron's wedding from aaron/neil's pov (i say neil pov bc i would LOVE to see how aaron and neil's relationship fares after they get over their beef. and i know neil would be happy for aaron and kate. and yeah obv aaron pov because again, see above.)
neil convincing andrew to go to aaron and kate's wedding from andrew/neil's pov (idk it could either be really sad or really funny)
kevin's phone call to jean in tfc from jean's pov (i NEED to know exactly the emotions jean was feeling when he saw kevin's name on his phone and heard his voice again)
the scene where andrew handcuffs neil after stuart dies from andrew's pov (this is genuinely one of my roman empires. the way nora wrote about this in the ec is genuinely embedded in the folds of my brain. neil kissing words into andrew's jaw. the sick gleam in his eyes that makes him look like nathaniel. i LIVE for andreil angst actually.)
andrew punching his pro team coach after he makes neil play injured from neil/andrew's pov (another roman empire. post-tkm andreil my SHAYLAS)
the angsty kevneil conversation in trk from kevin's pov (i'm just. so curious on kevin's perception of neil tbh.)
the robin cross arc from andrew/neil/robin's pov (i LOVE robin cross she's acc my favourite part of aftg lore. i would DIE to see her dynamic w andrew and neil. robin and neil friendship you are so loved by me)
neil buying his car w robin + i forgot who else was there from neil's pov (random but i just KNOW it would be funny)
the US court winning gold at the olympics from kevin/neil/andrew's pov (ugh the serotonin RUSH and the post-match andreil hug they have me in such a chokehold)
when allison and kevin find out that allison's son has a crush on kevin's daughter from kevin/allison's pov (HELLOOOO THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AFTG EC CRUMBS IT'S SO FUNNY)
neil hanging out with amalia from neil/amalia's pov (TELL ME they wouldn't have the funniest dynamic)
wymack picking neil up from the airport after evermore from wymack's pov (idk it would be so fun to see how absolutely blindsided everyone is by neil's fucked-up lore)
practically any andreil scene in the series from andrew's pov (foaming at the mouth chewing on drywall clawing at the bars of my enclosure for it)
ok i know i said every andreil scene but this HAS to be included separately: THE BALTIMORE REUNION FROM ANDREW'S POV (oh this would make me crazy)
tetsuji and kayleigh in their university days from either pov (like this is just crazy. that they were like. good friends. they literally made a world famous sport together tf.)
nathan wesninski's trial (the one where neil has to testify) from neil/andrew's pov (the complexity of it all)
andrew yelling at bee after she wakes up in the hospital from andrew/neil's pov (it would be fun. i think.)
the birthday blood scene from andrew's pov (like i know nora's already said what andrew was thinking in that scene but like i reread it recently and it was actually crazy how PISSED neil was idk i would just love to see andrew's reaction to neil being THAT mad)
fall banquet riko roast from literally anyone else's pov (i just know i'd reread that shit religiously)
kathy ferdinand riko roast also from literally anyone else's pov (imagine watching neil "quiet boy" josten absolutely CLOCKING riko moriyama's shit on LIVE TV)
the twins' session with betsy from andrew's pov (after reading aaron's pov it just made me so much more curious to get inside andrew's head in that scene bc that was just crazy tbh)
the foxes' skiing trip from neil's pov (neil pov just bc he's the one i'm most used to. but yeah i NEED this)
neil's face softening in sleep as he lays on andrew's chest and andrew content to just watch him reblog if true 👍
Kateaaron valentines wip from who knows when that I decided to resketch and color but not finish
Andreil x Fail You by Movements
AFTG Mixtape Exchange 2025, gift for @mellvetica
I hope you like it!! 💕💕💕
@aftg-mixtape
I think my favourite element of the writing in aftg is how Riko's downfall is utterly, entirely, beautifully self-inflicted.
Riko is power hungry, a glory seeker, jealous, cruel, vindictive and unable to share the spotlight. His worst actions and features come back to haunt him over and over in a way that is *incredibly* satisfying from a readers' perspective.
-Riko breaks Kevin's hand. Kevin leaves to become one of the foxes' best players, training them into a team worthy of finals and bringing them to victory with the game's final point
-Riko moves the Ravens to the southern district, placing his team directly in the path of the team that will eventually beat him
-Riko terrorises Kevin on the Kathy Ferdinand show, angering Neil into taking a stand against him (...which causes Andrew to re-evaluate Neil's worth, which leads to their deal, which leads to Neil staying with the Foxes...and so on)
-Riko kills Seth, who becomes a driving force for members of the team, particularly Alison, to beat the Ravens
-Riko setting Drake on Andrew further angers the Foxes and motivates them to beat him; Aaron in particular.
-This also results in Andrew sobering up sooner than he otherwise would have, arguably making him a stronger player and helping the Foxes reach finals
-Kidnapping Neil over Christmas break and forcing him to play as a backliner gives Neil an intensive course in Raven teamwork, drills, etc. Which Neil then teaches to the Foxes.
-Oh, and my favourite. They force Neil to play as a backliner against Riko. The very move which Neil then uses to block Riko from scoring in the final. Fantastic. Ten out of (jos)ten.
-Incidentally, beating the shit out of Neil and putting him in a different position causes the Ravens to vastly misunderstand/underestimate how Neil's abilities as a player have developed
-Forcing Neil into his natural appearance and helping his father find him leads to the most unifying moment for the Foxes of the entire series; the Foxes rally around Neil, and finally become one functioning, dedicated unit.
-and god, just when it seems like it couldn't get any better; Riko destroys Jean, taking one of his team's best players off the court before the match can even begin
Riko set almost every moment of his team's defeat into motion months before their match even began; the consequences of his cruelty not only weaken the ravens but fashion an opposing team which is stronger, more unified, and more determined than ever to beat Riko.
And it doesn't end with the match; Riko attempts to kill Neil, serving Ichirou all the justification he needs to dispose of his brother on a silver platter.
Riko Moriyama's fate is self-inflicted from start to finish, in the most deeply satisfying way possible.
Found a pack of funny references
Andrew and Neil are little evil dudes (love them)
the number of organs id be willing to sell to see this scene in cinematic form with good actors and an insane budget is not considered normal
Jeremy, who is the captain of one of the big three exy teams.
Jeremy, who is like a ray of sunshine in a rather dark world.
Jeremy, who never cusses.
Jeremy, who is slowly learning more about Jean and the Nest.
Jeremy, who prefers to stay with friends than family.
Jeremy, whose world no one knows about.
Jeremy, who is the avoidant narrator that he is.
Jeremy, who may be darker than we all realize.
Jeremy, who despites the fact that he holds something dark still tries to be the source of sunshine in people’s day.
Jeremy, who tries, makes mistakes, and still pushes on.
Oh Jeremy, I need to know more about you. I don’t think you’re okay but I know you’re trying.
No one told me I forgot to post about my Good Omens AU THREE YEARS AGO?😭 point is, I’ve resketched the first comic😔
This is what the original wip looked like (I didn’t save the last page before deleting it cuz I’m clearly missing half my brain)
I don’t plan on really furthering the wip unless it’s to do like art and/or color. But afterward, Neil says he does not believe Andrew isn’t here to kill him and Andrew reminds Neil that he’s ‘an angel so he can’t do wrong’ and Neil decides to trust him. It begins to rain but Andrew shields himself and Neil lets himself bask in the first thunderstorm of the earth.
my son who deserves to have a man bun if he wants
i'm so over this one, i might as well post it, also hi. do you see how Andrew is at the center of everything. do you see it
hehehe
