I really love the idea that when Neil and Andrew get completely comfortable sharing a bed they’re both actually horrible to sleep with. Neil talks in his sleep and kicks. Andrew is a bed/blanket hog, he’s also a cuddler but in the way that he’s laying on Neil (he claims it’s to stop Neil from kicking him).
It's not "do it for the aesthetic " it's morbid longing for the picturesque you fuck
The most iconic thing about Neil is the fact that his #1 character trait is being good at staying alive, and his #2 is being really, really bad at it.
foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing
My canon: Neil is super weird, but in a way people don't expect and it catches them unaware. He will have a perfectly normal conversation with you and then you realise he doesn't ignore the first slice of bread of the loaf, uses it right after opening it to make a sandwich. He doesn't have a set way of replacing the toilet paper roll. He does sock-shoe-sock-shoe. He takes the peel of the banana off completely before eating it on the go. He unplugs the laptop yanking on the cable not the plug. He eats kiwis with the skin on like they're apples. He eats dry cereal then drinks a glass of milk.
Neil Josten is like an alien that has managed to blend in quite well with the humans but sometimes he does something that reminds you he's a martian
Smell of trees after rain
Pynch is forever S tier because Ronan is like the first time I ever saw him I knew I had to have him, because subconsciously I knew he was the presence I dreamt of all those years ago in my loneliest of times, and I begged God for even the slightest sliver of a chance. And Adam is like the first time I saw him he outperformed me at groceries and that was when I knew I had to sell my soul to become an academic weapon. Also it wasn't him.
how did Richard casually mention doing cocaine in a burger king parking lot and then ONE LINE LATER call Judy a 'senseless cokehead'
my dude drop the superiority complex
I'm thinking about Kaz Brekker ranking the Dregs after every job like they do in Dance Moms, with the pyramid and the pictures reveal and all the drama. It's like the main event of the week at the Crow Club, I just know it
when they tell you from the start that this is a love story to its blade-dented bone.......
