Neil Josten is a really fucking phenomenal protagonist. Unreliable narrator or not, I really enjoyed his internal monologue. The reason I like his perspective so much is because we can we constantly see his internal conflict. He KNEW his father would find him, he KNEW about the Moriyamas and was terrified and he STILL CHOSE the Foxes and Andrew and Exy over it all. Even when he knew he was about to DIE, he told himself to that it was enough, because it was more than he ever thought he'd have.
I just- god, I love him so much. He's should be considered a national treasure. Anyway, happy birthday to Neil Abram Josten and thank you for coming to my TED talk.

illicit affairs is SUCH a Kevjean song. And that’s the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings and longing stares? You CANNOT tell me that this was not Jean’s perspective of Kevin at the Nest. So you leave no trace behind, like you don’t even exist?? Not Jean trying to disappear into the background, to be so quiet and insignificant that the Ravens wouldn’t even notice him. Don’t call me kid? Don’t call me baby?? Look at this idiotic fool that you’ve made me??? You taught me a secret language that I can’t speak with anyone else???? The fucking French. For you I would ruin myself a million little times??? Kevin asking Jean to distract Riko. “Unspoken: You cannot refuse me” FUCK SOMEONE SEDATE ME
I kid you not, I literally fell on the floor watching this. Criminally accurate *chef's kiss* absolute perfection!

the thing about neil and jean is that i very much feel like their relationship is mirrored in andrew & aaron's relationship. the 'misplaced forever partner' vs. 'the brother who was given away.'
the way neil was abused but he was KEPT, he had a mother who gave her life to fight for him vs. jean who was sold and forgotten and abandoned, stripped of his own name and his language, who had to survive riko and the master and the complicated dynamics of being perfect court but also property, who had to navigate the nest and all its horrors and hierarchy completely alone.
aaron who was abused, who was beaten and strung along and neglected, but who his mother came back for vs. andrew who was left behind, who never had a last name, who said 'please' so much at seven he can't stand the sound of the word at 21, who was willing to carve pieces from himself for the promise of a scrap of family.
andrew and aaron made a deal and hated each other for it. jean and neil were each others partners - your failure is my failure, your success is my success. andrew, who killed aaron's mother when he found out she was beating him, to hold up his end of the deal. jean, who held neil down to be carved, but who patched him up again after.
aaron, who killed his brother's rapist. and neil who did the same
