being self aware suuuucks like yeah this thought pattern/behavior is stupid and pointless and a symptom. i know this. [does it anyways
me: care about people
half the notes: youre the real oppressor for telling me what to do.
the other half: cut out this useless liberal proselatizing. you are an invertebrate and you will perish in the revolution.
This was the literal wording of what he said. It’s canon to me.
Jeremy: She's pretty, right?
Translation: Is she prettier than me?
i do not ghost purposely i just have no idea what to say ever
gorgeous art of Jean Moreau, but lowkey thought this was Jem Carstairs for a second 😭
Le petit prince
«Jeremy dove for him and grabbed his wrist. Jean’s heartbeat was like a hummingbird’s against his fingertips, and Jean shuddered so hard Jeremy felt it to his elbow.
“Jean, stop,” he tried. “Jean, you have to let go.”»
The pool scene lives rent free and I forever hate the coach for pushing him towards the water but I will forever love him being supported by Jeremy though it
Do not repost please. Reblogs appreciated!
High Tops by Del Water Gap is an andreil song
Andrew’s perspective, obviously. I just KNOW that Neil has a pair of really worn out bright orange converse high tops that he wears with his jorts and it makes Andrew think “I cannot believe I’m attracted to this idiot.”
Matthias calling Kaz a demon and Jean calling Neil an abominable cockroach (or literally any one of his nicknames for Neil. There are several, take your pick.) has the same energy. The dynamic is the same - exasperated, broody foreigner refuses to be associated with their insane, scheming friend who is severely fucked in the head.
This is absolute comedic GOLD
Nora Sakavic put down the sarcastic British boy and picked up a rude Frenchman and made them both hit rock bottom and fall in love with a blond guy.
Blue and Ronan 💙🖤
their friendship means the world to me btw . if you even care
guy who has ibuprofen: I have ibuprofen if you need it btw
this is how neil describes people that isn’t andrew in his pov
Can we appreciate the fact that Neil answers to Jean calls? Like, Jean is one of the few people that has the privilege to get Neil to pick up his calls
Neil choosing Andrew means everything to me. No one ever chose Andrew for who he is. His own mother gave him away and kept his brother. His whole life, Andrew had to bargain with promises and violence just to keep people close.
And then there’s Neil Josten with his stupid big Bambi eyes and a heartbeat like a rabbit in a trap. And he isn’t interested in anyone but Andrew. Just Andrew.
It’s like the universe is trying to apologize, awkwardly patting Andrew on the back and tying a bow around Neil’s head like some kind of peace offering.
I’m screaming. I’m in agony. I have so many feelings about them I'm about to throw up.
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.
Because he's been meme-ified a lot over the years, I feel the need to point out how smart he is. I mean, yes, he comes across as this feral, impulsive sort of character (and he has a lot of dumb energy, lol), but he's also really logical and precise. I love how complex and multilayered his character is. Nora did such a fabulous job writing him.
my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG
I feel like we forget sometimes how insane Ronan's crush on Adam was. Like, oh my god? They weren't even dating for most of these... The longing, the yearning, the devotion, the lovesick pining - 10/10, *chef's kiss*, nobody is doing it like him. He loves Adam - lonesome, unknowable Adam - like it's breathing. They make me violently ill.
The first time I read The Foxhole Court I legitimately thought that Kevin was the love interest… I love andreil and they will always be endgame for me, but I admire the fact that there are so many possible ship combinations in the aftg-verse.
the pseudo-old friends dynamic they have will always have me in a chokehold
love this because every kevneil interaction is basically some iteration of this. arguing and bickering and kevin insisting on neil's talent even while he insults him with every breath. legends.
ah yes, the sixth love language. exy.
zesty ahh dialogue
kevin watching neil hhhhhh
can you believe andrew had to witness this. and HE is the one neil ends up with. crazy work.
tfc kevneil was real
insane that neil was staring at kevin so much that nicky thought neil had a crush on him
the best thing about kevneil is that it's a bitch4bitch dynamic
honestly neil is stronger than me i probably would've decked him for this
kevneil my favourite bully romance
kevin day they could never make me hate you
my favourite aesthetic is kevin day seeing the potential in the most unlikely of people
they have such a unique dynamic of hatred/obsession/admiration/devotion/animosity/intimacy it fascinates me
the fact that neil never once just punches kevin in the face is the true miracle of aftg
scene of all time.
but they understand each other so deeply what the fuck
the way neil had such big hopes for all the foxes it's such an underrated part of the series
i fear the og offence line had the funniest dynamic ever argue with the wall
my favourite animal is neil in columbia
"time to collect what's mine" ok kevin
do i even need to say it
kevin putting a hand on neil's shoulder blade and gently pushing him. wow. big day for annoying people like me.
thinking about "i hate you" "you don't" and "i absolutely hate you" jean said. kevin shrugged that off, unmoved by such a transparent lie.
thinking about this today.
my favourite animal is neil defending kevin from r*ko
"leave him alone" and "kevin caught his arm to stop him" FOAMING AT THE MOUTHHHH
Okay but Down Bad by Taylor Swift is a kevjean song…
this song gives Allison Reynolds vibes
I kid you not, I literally fell on the floor watching this. Criminally accurate *chef's kiss* absolute perfection!
I did another thing
P. S - Christopher is auditioning twice because he wanted to and asked me to add him
read tgr a while back and can I just say, I am so obsessed with them. anyway, here are some moodboards I made. enjoy!
JEREMY KNOX
JEAN MOREAU
idk why, but this song reminds me of the foxes
I can’t say this enough: same person different fonts.
for the love of god someone put adam parrish and neil josten in a room together. i wanna see something.
they make me violently ill. i love them, your honour.
my boy by Billie Eilish is low-key andreil coded
Do you ever think about how Opal loves Adam so much because she’s a part of Ronan’s mind and Ronan loves Adam so much? Because I do.
Reading the Raven Boys as an aftg fan, and can I just say, Ronan is Andrew, Gansey is Kevin, and Adam is Neil. I repeat, Ronan is Andrew-
Neil promised Andrew ANYTHING as long as he closed off the goal and Andrew asked him to take his shirt off - the closet is fucking glass
When allison gets neil online, she starts sending him those posts that are like "just when you think you've hit rock bottom you wanna fuck a blonde guy" as a joke but neil doesn't think they're funny cause there's nothing wrong with loving andrew. He DOES however immediately forward them to katelyn
