☝️They Also Waterboarded Him For Trying To Not Be Alive Anymore

TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

Andrew for sure looked him up and down, gave a disappointed groan, and warned him he wasnt gonna be seen in public with him wearing that

At the end he in fact was seen in public with Neil wearing that (Neil refused to change, they had a silent battle, at the end they made some sort of deal. Now Neil is at 150%)

Neil the type of guy to wear crocs

Look, hear me out

What if Neil was the one responsible for Lane's, Winter's and Willian's death

The last time someone gave Jean trouble (Grayson), he simply wiped the guy out

It would be weird if, after doing this for Jean, he just accepted that Winter and Willians tried to kill Andrew and moved on with his life. And even though I dont think he would order a hit on Lane for attacking him, she stopped him from getting to Andrew, which is also unforgivable

The three of them were found dead literally on the same day and they were the only ones to die after the match took place.

The ERC announced that the Ravens were disqualified still on friday. If they were to kill themselfs over it, they would have done it on friday or saturday, but they did on monday

You can call me crazy, but I think our beloved Wesninski Junior attacked again, because I dont see him just accepting waht they did to Andrew, and he definitely would not waste time with proper legal action

I NEED Kevin's POV or at least some insight on how he reacted

Like, did he feel relief, but also guilty for being relieved??? Did he mourn the brother that Riko could never really be and now will never be??

can we talk about how we have NO IDEA how Kevin reacted to Riko’s death. the book literally ended when Riko died.

in tsc when Renee calls Jean to tell him to stay offline, he says you can hear a fight in the back, i will bet everything i have to say that was Kevin.

like did Neil tell them when they were on the bus??? Did they find out in the morning when the news broke??

did Kevin have a panic attack?? how did Andrew react??

Im finally watching Invincible's third season, and let me tell yall, Mark would have such an easier time if the people he wants to protect stopped getting into the fights as he is trying to protect them

LIKE, DUDE, IF MARK CANT FIGHT SOMEONE FROM VILTRUM, YOU ALSO CANT

And then Mark is made to have to protect himself(not particularly succeeding at that) and, now, another dumb fucker who had the bright idea to help and just became on the brink of death weight

Big examples of this are Atom Eve trying to help in the fight against the alternate dimensions invicibles and Oliver trying to tackle that dude from Viltrum right after

Like, guys, YOU ARE NOT HELPING

(Also, Im obviously not refering to Atom Eve in that last fight, she absolutely rocked that, girl rebuilt her body and even before, she actually helped a lot)

All the other teams were thinking : "GET A ROOM THE TWO OF YOU ALREADY"

Aaron actually said it (very loudly, while looking disgusted)

Kevin scolded them for not properly behaving. Andrew gave him a slap in the back of the head and told him to stop being a bore

Dan told Neil to bahave but then used this as an excuse to seat o Matt's lap (if Neil can, then she can do it too)

Alisson just rolled her eyes at the two couples and said something in the lines of "I didnt give up my inheritance for this"

Renee was just there laughing silentely

andreil at the next banquet

The fuck, this is so good!!

Kandreil fanarts are gonna be death of me

Someone here is living his best life 👀

Im 22 and I cried a few days ago bc I burned the food I was making 🤡

maven calore was committing regicide and usurping a throne at 17 what the hell are you doing. sitting in bed reading fan fiction. get a grip

Jean "knowing this cologne came from another man is making me murderous" Moreau I am OBSESSED with you

Girl, I NEED this so much 😭😭😭

This would literally be amazing!!

Other super cool ep: a shot of Mary telling Neil that girls are trouble, he shouldnt think about love, that it is too dangerous to fall in love....and then it cuts to him kissing Andrew for the first time

I swear, this would be so amazing

Aftg series adaptation idea:

Every episode starts with a brief flashback to Neil's life on the run/ his childhood, and at the end of it, the scene cuts to a contradicting thing he does in the present (which would be the plot of that ep).

Like, for example, "i have been running for 9 years, always hiding, staying out of sight, (bla bla u get the picture)" and then BOOM it cuts to Neil dressed up on live TV. Like ??? Yknow, and then it proceeds with the story leading up to that moment.

Or or or

Smth about how he got his scars, some dramatic montage of Neil and Mary fleeing, shots fired in the background, her prying off Neil's kevlar vest to reveal an ugly wound, and then the scene abruptly cuts to that same wound, but healed. Camera pans out, and its Neil showing Abby his scars.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN??

Like there are so many options:

Playing at Evermore as a kid/ ...playing at Evermore

Neil getting struck by an iron/ showing his scars to Andrew (again. Or smth else).

Lola teaching Neil how to cut things/ kidnapping scene

Nathaniel Wesninski/ Neil Josten

Etc.

Like, this way we get bits and pieces to Neil's past like how we do in the books; we're not getting totally info-dumped, but we get insight throughout the books as to who he actually is.

It also works with how strongly Neil holds onto Mary's rules, how sick/ sorry he feels whenever he breaks them, because we can actually see why she was so hell-bent on laying low; she doesn't only come off as some paranoid freak, she had reasons- (This is getting off track, Mary ily).

And then we get to experience pure whiplash as to how crazy Neil's life acctually is without him suppressing/compartmentalizing it.

Ah, a girl can dream...
