when u pull up to the 'unreliable narrator' competition but nobody's there
turns out Richard Papen subtly implied it was now and u unquestioningly believed him but really he won hours ago
This is such a revealing passage in regards to how Neil views other people and the world in general. He's so compartmentalized he just straight-up won't process information he deems irrelevant to the things he cares about if it takes any extra time or effort.
I think he's probably so hypervigilant that he notices almost everything going on around him at all times but that's way too much information to deal with, especially when reacting and making decisions quickly is a matter of life and death like it often is for him, so he does this. Filters out everything unnecessary so he can focus only on what's most important.
these books need to come with a warning label
Neil: *jumping from one identity to another*
Neil: parkour
Crooked Kingdom chapter 16

it's so weird and so beautiful and so intricate and so confusing and so deep and so lyrical and so different to any other book in existence in the best way possible I'm literally begging ppl to read this masterpiece

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
