Andrew Minyard is the Smartest Ever and I Need to Discuss It

So one night Andrew and Neil are both perching on Andrew’s desk which he has pushed by the window because they’re both blowing their smoke out through the screen 

It’s finals week and all of Neil’s books are scattered underneath where they are sitting 

Andrew is already done his finals because seniors take theirs early 

The seniors are celebrating senior week but Andrew much rather prefers staying in and pretending it’s a hardship helping Neil study even though he secretly doesn’t mind 

And after they’re done smoking, Andrew says something like “you sure have become a slob for a former runaway” and Neil just rolls his eyes and dramatically swipes all the papers and books from the desk into his backpack to shut Andrew up 

Not realizing that he accidentally swept some of Andrew’s papers from the desk 

Probably because they made out on the desk for about 45 minutes afterward

So the next day when Neil is trying to cram during his five minutes between exams he starts rummaging through his bag for his notes 

And instead finds a letter 

And he’s confused why he has a university official letter in his bag and starts reading it 

But then he notices it’s addressed to Andrew 

So he’s about to stop 

But TOO LATE because then he sees in bold letters 

“Congratulations on being this year’s Valedictorian" 

And Neil sucks in a breath so hard that he starts choking 

And now he has to fucking SIT THROUGH an entire FUCKING EXAM knowing this information 

I mean Neil knew Andrew was smart but he did not know he was this smart

That even when Andrew was hospitalized he was still doing his work and getting straight A's 

Cause Andrew has always gotten straight A's 

When he was in the foster system he probably used doing homework and studying and reading as an outlet 

And Neil spends at least half of his english exam wondering when in the world Andrew has time to study between Exy practices and Neil being a constant pain in his ass 

But then Neil starts to put some of the pieces together and thinks about all the times he was studying and Andrew would just be reading in the corner 

Or how Andrew never misses any of his classes for anything unless Neil says he needs him 

And now Neil feels guilty for any time that he pulled Andrew from class 

And Neil knows Andrew’s schedule by heart except it never really clicked that Andrew has been in 400 level classes since Neil has known him 

But Andrew never puts in effort!!! With anything!!! So it doesn’t make sense!!! Except it /does/ because Andrew only puts in effort if nobody is asking him to 

Nobody ever hounds Andrew about classes or his grades probably thinking it would be pointless to do so 

Except nobody apparently had to because Neil apparently has the smartest boyfriend in the world 

His dick might be half hard by the time he hands in his exam

I mean he basically pops a boner every time Andrew wears his glasses so it is #confirmed he has a huge kink for intelligence and intelligent looks

So Neil gets through his English exam and rushes back to his dorm 

That he shares with Andrew and Kevin 

And he barges in and is looking down at the paper saying “You’re valedictorian??!!??” 

And when he looks up he realizes it isn’t just Andrew in the room 

Neil is stunned into silence 

Andrew is perched in his regular spot 

And all of the rest of the foxes are scattered across the floor watching a movie together like literally ALL OF THEM like the past foxes too because they came to visit!!!! Because Neil only has one last exam tomorrow but also to sort of have an excuse to be there for the other foxes’ graduation

But now all eyes are on Andrew

And Andrew is looking at Neil with the most passive expression 

Nicky is the first to speak letting out a stunned “What the fuck" 

He earns a glare from Andrew

Kevin, Matt, and Aaron are looking between Neil and Andrew in complete shock 

Renee looks unsurprised but gives Andrew this small proud mom smile 

Kevin, Matt, and Aaron are literally giving themselves whiplash 

Dan and Allison are just sort of looking at Neil for further explanation since they know they won’t get any from Andrew 

But Neil doesn’t have any explanation 

And he’s short circuiting because everybody is there 

Also he feels like he just revealed one of Andrew’s big secrets or something 

But Andrew just slides off the desk and walks over to Neil 

And takes the paper out of Neil’s hands 

Whips out his lighter 

Sets the paper on fire 

Drops it in the bin 

And says “guess I’m not valedictorian anymore" 

Before retreating back to his perch like nothing happened

Forcing everybody to act like nothing happened like the little shit he is

Later on, Neil brings it up while hovering over his math textbook trying to memorize the last few equations and failing

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Andrew ignores his question in favor of picking up a piece of paper and scribbling a bunch of numbers on it

“Solve this”

So Neil sighs, figuring he’s not going to get anywhere else tonight and solves the equation and hands it back to Andrew

But Andrew doesn’t take it, just raises an eyebrow and says “What did you get?”

And Neil reads out “286%” before realizing what it actually means.

Got shot and was too awkward to tell his friends then turned out they didn't even care

Some TSH analysis, uncategorized

julian calling the greek class (minus bunny and richard) "magpies" is so fun to me bc . while they are symbolic of intelligence and resourcefulness they are also symbolic of deceit and opportunism

richard didnt eat his lamb chops at his first dinner with the twins and bunny ate richards chop instead . lamb could be a religious ref to following, how richard is not quite yet in the thick of it with the group, not yet a follower of henry/andor julian . but later in the book he does eat lamb in camillas room at the hotel if i remember correctly , perhaps he is consuming his own innocence, his own morality . finally accepting his role as a follower maybe . also something to do with morality

Henry as death, as Satan/the devil (Richard has described him as Satan, some girl at a party said the greek class were all devil worshippers and Who do they worship except Henry)

Rot and death, particularly rotting fruit -- something about opulence and overindulgence: richard says in his notebook from when he was 18: “There is to me about this place a smell of rot, the smell of rot that ripe fruit makes. Nowhere, ever, have the hideous mechanics of birth and copulation and death-those monstrous upheavals of life that the Greeks call miasma, defilement-been so brutal or been painted up to look so pretty; have so many people put so much faith in lies and mutability and death death death” and then the first few days at hampden (literally 2 pages later) “stunned and drunk with beauty ... Trees creaking with apples fallen apples red on the grass beneath, the heavy sweet smell of apples rotting on the ground”

Richard first name John:  john the apostle . outlived all the other apostles .beloved . follower . etc . interesting the things that could be associated with that; john also means “graced by god”so that could also be looked into; could be that richard abandoning his given name that he has abandoned any grace that could have been given him . could be that he is the apostle to Henry in a way that the others weren't .... could be he has fallen from grace; extremely interesting to me that richard as a name has zero biblical references and means "brave ruler" . something something about the front richard was putting on . the grandiose he wanted so badly to imitate but in the end couldnt and he will always remain but a humble john follower and apostle . perhaps

YES RICHARD DRINK THAT ORANGE JUICE!!

SEE IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE ALCOHOL

why is Richard sickly for like 95% of the book he's always complaining about being exhausted and faint and nauseous and riddled with headaches and his solution is LETS HAVE MORE PILLS AND ALCOHOL??

LIKE SIR PLEASE JUST EAT A VEGETABLE IM BEGGING U

the real question is how has nobody overdosed yet

ik this is prob obvious but I'm putting it out there anyway bc I randomly got reminded of it

INDEPENDENCE & SELF SUFFICIENCY

Andrew spent all the money from Tilda's death on that car BECAUSE he didn't need the car - he wasn't gonna go pay college fees or groceries or whatever bc he didn't need Tilda to survive - he didn't need her while she was alive and he didn't need her now, he could support himself. So of course he wasn't going to use the money from her to buy essential things - he bought that ridiculously expensive car solely because he did not need it and he wanted the money gone.

Nicky jokingly mentions that the car is the reason they're poor, but Andrew wouldn't want Tilda to be the reason they're stable - they can take care of themselves. That money was never going to be used for things they needed, so he blew it on the car

"how about a kiss for your jailbird brother" 😀

let's be real he found an old fashioned pipe somewhere, like he's going all out

also ganseys 100% a stress smoker sorry no regular non-smoker is making all those metaphors

are we gonna talk about Andrew using his eidetic memory to draw something?? like he doodles in his notebook during lectures and it's the most fucking accurate sketch of a gothic building you've ever seen? like babe you do have a hobby, Neil just doesn't know about it, does he?

do you have a secret sketchbook hidden under your mattress that's filled with drawings of Renee's smile or Kevin's broken hand? do you memorize every one of Neil's scars to make a map of them in your book? are you gonna reveal that secret and show Neil your stupid drawings?

does Nicky miss his boyfriend so much that once he finds a rough sketch of Eric between the sheets of his book? it's fucking creepy till he finds the note saying 'a.j.m. used him as a reference'

does Kevin look surprised, when you pass him a piece of paper, not knowing yet that you made a research about his mother to draw her as perfect as you can?

does Aaron smile when you give him a drawing of his stupid girlfriend or he silently folds it into his wallet and strides away?

does Bee starts to collect your doodles of insects that you make during your sessions? can Wymack hold back his tears when he finds a portrait of Seth Gordon on his desk, knowing who has the access to his study and a fucking huge warm and loving heart under the layers of not giving a fuck about life? you tell me.

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

no u don't understand ur honour, my client actually has the most elegant hands and the palest brows and the straightest teeth. yes ur honour all he's done is partake in silly little shenanigans. yes ur honour he's the one who's the eldritch dreamer's second secret. yes exactly ur honour all latin teachers are dead men walking anyways. exactly ur honour he's done nothing wrong ever.

Can bunny hurry up and get killed I can't listen to him anymore

the aftg brainrot is real bc why is Henry Winter giving me Kevin Day vibes

Henry Winter would think he’s superior to people that vape because he smokes cigarettes and that’s the “real way” or something of the sort

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).

Just imagine Nicky forcing Andrew and Aaron to do one of those twin telepathy tests that are all over tiktok. They match on every single one. Nicky is screaming. The twins are annoyed. They flip him off in perfect sync. Neil and Katelyn are laughing.

andreil going viral after Nicky uses that song a boy who's jacked and kiiind to make an edit of Andrew picking up Neil and throwing him over his shoulders like a potato bag to drag the idiot away from useless fight

these are just ones idk what to do with

as someone who loves assigning university majors to people i feel very strongly that blue and gansey ARE NOT both sociology majors!!

first off they do not give weird couple who do everything together and study the same things like they have seperate interests

and you’re telling me that gansey, who intended to devote his entire life to finding a dead welsh king who would not become a slightly unhinged history student who somehow knows every little detail about really niche welsh historical events in an introduction to western history class??

and you’re telling me that blue sargent, a girl with her eyes on the stars and heart in the trees would not become an eviornmental science and political science double major and get in fights with people in her classes on the daily??

what do u mean Henry didn't do the SATs bc he had an 'aesthetic objection'

Bunny wtf

richard is so real for choosing classes based on which will let him sleep late on mondays

Guess who's finally starting tsh after having it staring at them from their shelf for like 2 years

Does anyone have any book recs similar to trc????

Andrew's humour is so underrated bc how did everyone move on from "is your learning curve a horizontal line" that quickly
