Jean is the proof that strong doesnt equal hard. He has a deeply kind heart, and it is exactly the fact his heart didnt get hard like stone with all the horrors he was put through that makes him so strong. He didnt just endure, his heart came out it all still soft and beating. I feel like this is also one of the reasons Riko was always specially cruel to Jean. He looked at him and saw all he could never be, all that his money, power and talent would never get him: a kind heart, and he wanted desperately to break this in him, to make Jean bitter and cruel, and it didnt matter how many parts of Jean he would break(physically, emotionally and mentally) he still couldnt break his softness and kindness. Not only that, but he was reminded of this at every turn: when Jean would still take care of Kevin, when he taught Kevin french, when he wasnt able to handle seeing Neil get waterboarded (even though he was tortured like that many times, he couldnt stand there and bare the suffering of another person). Riko hated and despised Jean bc no matter how many times he made Jean see and live through the worst of humanity, Jean still insisted of being a reminder of the best that human beings can be. He reminded Riko that he wasnt bad bc the world was bad, he was bad simply bc he was trash.
That's why I absolutely love Jean Moreau
I swear, this boy desearves the world, he desearves to heal. He desearves to be in a place like the Trojans, full of good ppl, who will show him that he desearves love
jean moreau who learns how to cook and falls in love with it because it distracts him from everything inside his head. jean moreau who learns how to ride a motorcycle and falls in love with the open road now that he can go wherever he wants whenever he wants to. jean moreau who likes peaches and cradles them in his hands like something precious. jean moreau who is sentimental with the gifts he receives from his friends. jean moreau who helped rhemann to pull up the vegetables in his garden and realised he would like to grow something of his own one day. jean moreau who'd plait his sister's hair for her, and sew up the rips in her dress. jean moreau who watches how people show affection to him and to each other and then emulates it back to them when they need it for comfort. jean moreau who was so disturbed by the image of his friend being hurt he searched her for imaginary bumps and bruises he knew weren't there. jean moreau who has been abandoned or betrayed time and again yet still looks out for his friends bc he is loyal by nature. jean moreau who still yearns so deeply for love even though he has convinced himself he cannot have it. jean moreau whose favourite colour is associated with all the things that bring him peace - the soil in rhemann's garden, the sand after the tide washed ashore, the dirt roads he'd been down with cat, jeremy's eyes. jean moreau, a soft boy forced into a hard life.
jean and his lil peach has me emotional
The way he tried to say he was a Moreau ONCE again (when Cat said "I love you" to him) and then stopped himself and almost choked š
Neil has a talent for saying exactly what will make an impact on someone. He uses that for evil or for good, depending solely on who is the person he is talking to
āI am a moreauā
āso was elodieā
clocked him so hard he didnāt dare mention it again in a whole as new book. he tried, I see you struggling jean dw, but he never got through with it
neil josten the man that you freaking are.
Couldnt agree more
Iām not gonna lie. On a Paramore kick right now.
Turn it Off by Paramore is Renee coded.
Ok I'm rereading the extra content and I think this part right here is very important
Andrew says him resisting Kevin is self-preservation and he is not gonna give what is left of him to Kevin to ruin.
Because see what Kevin's obsession with exy got him. A life of torture and a broken hand and being afraid to death of a mentally ill guy named Riko. So Andrew is just trying to protect himself from the same outcome.
But then Neil comes, and he is just as messed up as Kevin is (even more tbh), and Andrew sees first hand how exy is the motivation that makes Neil resist, how making bonds with the other foxes makes Neil look more alive, how having this thing with Andrew makes Neil want to live and not give up. And I think this is exactly why that at the end Andrew agrees to care about exy and give it a shot. Because it worked for Neil right? Maybe it'll also work for Andrew.

Dont we all like our man fruity??
"You know, I get it," Neil said. "Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you're worth a damn off the courtāyeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time." "Neil," Kevin said, low and frantic. Neil ignored him. "I know it's not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you're physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don't think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. Pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone."
This physically hurted meš
I don't think we talk enough about:
āShe prayed for a dragon to save her.ā
āNot a prince?ā
āA dragon could tear our house apart to free her and carry her far away.ā
This line made me feel physical pain
Yeah Mary, your boy did listen to you
He didnt got close to girls....but with a certain boy....
thinking about how Neil let Andrew do every single one of these things to him without noticing just because Andrewās a boy and Mary was heteronormative
The way I read the first line and was like "well, basically 24/7 bc Im autistic and unfortunetely I cant stop interacting with myself"
Then I read the other part and was like "aaaaaahhhh now it makes sense"
I just love how other neurodivergent are able to read neurodivergents so well. It makes me feel seen and also not so crazy
