I always found it very funny Kevin's whole thing with "you should be hetero, it is easier to make Court like that". It just seemed to be one of those moments where he was so absurdly into Exy that he couldnt understand basic human things
This was until TGR, and then I understood that his line of thinking was ingrained in very deep traumas. He saw what happened to Jean when he dared to step a little out of heteronormativeness. He saw all the pain it caused. He saw what Riko did to him and Im sure at this moment he swore to never even try to find out if he could like boys in other ways. So when he saw Nicky giving Neil incentives to explore his sexuality, Im sure all the flashbacks of that time came to him like a punch, and he knew that in US court (at least while Riko was still there) being heterosexual meant survival. Thats why he says that to Nicky.
It is literally his trauma speaking for him, not his obsession with Exy speaking for him
Which also brings me to my theory that Kevin is a deeply repressed bisexual (there aint no way that diva is straight). TGR literally only helped to confirm that
For sure he went about it wrong, but Kevin does truly want to protect them. This is the world he was brought up in as well.
Neil's file on the FBI has the following observation: "he is a danger to society on the outside, but we believe he somehow would be more dangerous in jail. Do not contact him unless extremely necessary. You are gonna regret every second"

renee walker is a 5-in-1 girlie im certain of this. andrew once got her a 10-in-1 (toothpaste, drinkable) and she treasured it. by GOD renee walker will not buy separate toiletries

No, they dont realize it
Because they talked about the Holocaust, but they didnt talk about how hate spreads, how authoritarians regimes come to power, how all minorities can be victims, who and what interests persecution serves
They talked about the Holocaust like if jews were the only victims, like if the only way it would happen again is if the events of the past repeated themselfs exactly as they happened in 1930s/40s
Zionists have been propagating the idea that jews are the only potential victims of a new holocaust. So there is no problem if Trump talks about immigrants the same way (with almost the same exact words) Hitler talked abt the jewish ppl. There is no problem if Israeli authorities openly claim they want to commit genocide and ethinic cleansing. There is no problem if believing a racial or ethinic group should have total control over certain territory IS the whole base of nazism. As long as the persecuted group isnt the jewish population, then it is not a Holocaust.
It is sad, but thats the reality
Talking about the Holocaust isnt enough to stop it from happening again. Knowing that Nazi germany killed 6 million jews serves no pourpuse if we are all unable to spot the signs of history repeating itself with other ethinic/racial/religious minorities
Israel is the new Nazi Germany.
Andreil is gonna be the reason ehy I die single, bc after that I seriously cant settle for less

exy, trauma, repeat.
"Just please let me go" was the most hearbreaking wording choice Nora could have done
It shows everything
First of all how done and tired he is ("just")
Also the "let me go" part: he is not asking only to be left alive, he is asking his father to let him go, let him live his life.
In book one he says that everytime he wakes up he has to remind himself everything is okay bc he always wakes up thinking his father found him and he has to take a few deep breaths and ground himself before starting his day
This has been this boy's life EVERY DAY for NINE YEARS, in other words, this has been his life for about 3.200 days.
This "let me go" isnt just a desperate plea for his life, but it is the plea of a kid who cant stand being afraid, scared and always on the run anymore. It has been NINE YEARS, and Nathan just cant let him go, for NINE YEARS Nathan didnt allow neither him or his mother to really go and he made their lifes a living hell. So what Neil is asking here is to be freed from the nightmare his whole life had always been, because of Nathan
He knows it is not gonna work, but he cant take it anymore. He had been strong for too much time and at that moment, all he wanted to was to live, but really live, not just be alive. And he couldnt do that unless his father letted him go
Another thing that always hurts me about this part is that he had accepted he was gonna die, literally until he saw his father
When it comes to kidnappings you should NEVER allow your kidnappers to take you to a second location. If you get kidnapped and you plan on trying to run, you gotta do it BEFORE you get to the second location. No matter how hard it seems to scape, it will be even harder once you are in the second location. Once you arrive where your kidnappers want you, then it is almost surely game over
Neil probably knew this very well. Like, even my mom taught me that, Mary definitely taught this to him
But even knowing that, when does he decides to try to scape???
Not only when he was already inside his father's house, at his basement (aka: second location), but also when his father arrived (aka: the worst possible time)
And this wasn't a rational decision
When Neil received Lola's call, he accepted he was gonna die that day. He didnt fight it, bc he had already accepted he was gonna be dead before may. Off course, it was earlier then what he wanted it to be, but it felt just like destiny knocking earlier at his door
But then he saw his father and reality hitted, HE WAS GONNA DIE
And at that moment he realized he wasnt fucking ready to go, not now, not this early. There was so much he wanted, most importantly there were the Foxes, he didnt want to leave them, he didnt want to leave Andrew, he wasnt ready. He tought he was, but he wasn't
And thats when he makes his desperate scape attempt and his desperate last plea "just please let me go", that wasnt a plea just for his life. He was asking his father to, after nine years, allow him to be happy, to be safe, to "go". It is the last plea of an abused kid to his abuser. "Just stop abusing me, Just stop obsessing with me. LET ME LIVE"
He knows it wont work, but at this point, after finally finding what to live for, he had to at least try it
If Nathan had found him at the beggining of his first season with the Foxes or while he was still in his HS team, he would have died without letting out a single scream or plea. Bc at that point he was living out of spite. He was living with the hopes he would eventually find what to live for. He had nothing but his pride, and he sure as hell wasnt gonna allow Nathan to take it from him.
But when Baltimore happens, he had found what to live for, his wildest hopes became true, he had what to live for. He realizes it when he finally sees his father after all this time. So at that point, fuck his pride, the Foxes were more important then that. So he begs. Knowing it will fall on death ears, but the life he had built for himself was way too important for him to not try. Nathaniel, the kid raised to endure all sorts of pain and scape from an entire mafia, would never beg shit to his father. But the Foxes had humanized him, so at that moment he does what any other human would do: he asks for his life. There, it was the first time In the whole series Neil does something remotely similar to what a 19 years old would (and even so, he still kept a certain composure). And that was when Neil Josten finally buried Nathaniel Wesninski. He did what Neil would do at that moment, not what Nathaniel would
Anyways, he was just a kid and I hate Nathan so much
I just hope this bastard is burning in hell and having to watch his son heal and live in spite of him
genuinely the most heartbreaking part in aftg like out of the whole series is at the end of the kings men when neil snaps and starts begging for his life
like his “please, just let me go, just let me go i’m not—” LIKE UGHHHH
to me it really emphasizes just how young he is…like he’s literally only 19 he’s a teenager!!! begging for his life!!!! (after trying so hard to save face in front of lola in the car it didn’t even matter in the end bc fuck i’m about to die)
and also just the parallel with andrew and his hatred in the word, that he also said please and it didn’t work
(and the fact that he probably also came to a point where he knew it wouldn’t work but he had to try and beg anyways bc there’s no way out he has no other options he has nothing to gain but nothing to lose either just please let me go—)
☝️They also waterboarded him for trying to not be alive anymore
Famously known as you are fucked either type of situation
“they hit you for making a mistake on the court???” buddy they waterboarded him for being alive
Yeah, I will definitely be joining that cliff jumping group, thanks
Andrew Minyard makes me wanna rip my heart out, seriously
girl who just remembered andrew was so used to not being cared about or seen that he genuinely thought he was hallucinating neil's behavior. who wants to join my jumping off a cliff party.
one of my favorite subtle implications in the series is that it seems the Titan Army was fully banking on Percy being the host of Kronos. Why else would they make their main base a cruise ship if their primary enemy is a son of Poseidon? Named after Andromeda, the wife of Perseus? Why would they work on Oceanus specifically being free so much? Side notably with other children of Poseidon? Why plant Zeus and Hades' items of power on Percy when Luke already had them? Why only Zeus and Hades' items, not Poseidon's? Well because they really need Percy as Kronos' host, that's why. (and Poseidon siding with them because of that would be a bonus as well)
I like to imagine Luke's cabin on the Princess Andromeda is fully decked out with like "WELCOME PERCY" and sea-themed sheets and everything and he hates it so much cause it's a constant reminder he failed and he was Kronos' second choice. Also then he gets his super special pegasus not even exactly stolen by Percy, but the pegasus willingly defects to be Percy's personal steed instead, which must just be insult to injury. Luke has immense one-sided beef with Percy and Percy has no idea.
Gennerally ppl say "they desearve each other" as an offense, but with Jeremy and Jean I can confidentely say that they desearve each other and mean it in the vest way possible
They are so caring and loving towards each other, I cant 😭
Thinking about Jeremy watching Jean watch his exy matches and finding the way Jean makes his own commentary endearing. Spending more time watching Jean than watching the actual match. Thinking about Jeremy fighting back a smile whenever Jean makes a grumbly comment about something because he finds it charming now that he's gotten to know him better. Thinking about Jeremy taking eight flights of stairs with Jean because he knows Jean doesn't like elevators. Thinking about the million and one little things that Jeremy does to show that he cares about Jean, and still being surprised when Jean wants to protect him and stand by him.
