And thats why he is my fave, dude is a literal menace
Also, Aaron absolutely not reacting to Neil throwing sh*t at him is so funny. Unbothered king
my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG
Tonight I am thinking about Kevin trying to buy a postcard during an away game at Texas. Going into the airport gift shop and coming back with a bag.
With nothing else to do during a long layover, the other foxes notice and ask why he’s suddenly buying postcards. Maybe Nicky takes the bag and pulls out the singular card. It’s got the outline of Texas on it, and unable to resist making a stupid joke, Nicky says,
“Thea’s never been to Texas?”
Kevin’s of course annoyed by this and takes the bag back without saying anything. Andrew, who’s nervous in airports and not opposed to starting a bit of drama cuts in and says,
“It’s for Jean, not Thea.” He was, after all, there the last time Kevin bought a postcard.
Nothing shuts the foxes up faster than the reminder that Kevin actually has a soul. Despite his best efforts and a “fuck you Andrew,” from Kevin, it’s Renee who smiles. She holds out her hand for the bag which Andrew swipes using his good arm and hands to her.
She studies the front of the postcard then gets up and walks to the same store to buy a different one. Neil catches her while she browses and asks her what she’s looking for. He makes a mental note of their conversation.
Two weeks later Jean receives two postcards from Texas. One from Kevin and one from Renee. It upsets him that Kevin said anything to anyone else about it but he hangs both of them up.
When Neil and Andrew finally take a short trip for a holiday break, Neil buys a postcard from a rest stop in Atlanta and sends it to Jean.
Jean almost drops this one in the sink.
“Neil?!” Cat asks, “oh my god, is he actually nice?”
“No.” Jean replies though he puts the postcard on the wall next to the other ones.
Between the three of them, Jean’s wall fills up. He meets the mail with excitement and hunger instead of dread now.
Renee sends one from Stephanie’s house with the the words, “you know, you could send one back.”
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.
Great way to resume the son of Neptune
hazel: frank why do you even like me. I'm a zombie I shouldn't be here I ruin everything I touch and everything with gaea is my fault I'm a terrible person and also I should die
frank: I would set myself and everyone else in this room on fire to keep you warm
percy (the only other person in the room): man what the hell did I do
Zuko reharsing to talk to them is so me
chat i'm rewatching avatar the last air bender and WHY IS ZUKO SO ME CORE
Like when he was trying to convince the gaang that he changed, it sounded EXACTLY like me trying to make new friends
(dunno why I posted this but my friends r offline so)
And I say amen to that
the holy trinity
I need them two to meet!!
idk why they haven't introduced Jeremy to Allison yet bc she is like the textbook example of what he is trying to do and could absolutely show him how to find the strength to tell his family to get fucked
The thing is that Kevin has no one to lean and confide into
Thea could barely believe that Riko broke Kevin's hand. She gets mad at him for not being open with her and then proceeds to discredit and not believe in him (how to be an awfull person 101). Kevin could never trust her enough to really talk about the level of abuse he faced, she could barely handle the surface of it
Even though he has his dad, I dont think Kevin feels confortable to really share those things with him, simply bc Wymack is also too emotionally involved in the situation and probably blames himself for not being there to protect Kevin (which is not his fault).
He cant connect or trust Bee and considers her to be Andrew's
Andrew and Neil are in a world of their own
This leaves him with no one and a very serious alcohol related problem
Not to mention Kevin was the one who spent the most time In the Nest. Jean arrived when he was 14, Kevin has been in that hell hole since his mom died. He probably watched Riko get more and more cruel and mean everyday, without being able to do nothing about it. Not to mention how hard it must have been to deal with the change in the way he was treated after his mom died. Being slowly turned into a thing, into property, by the kid you considered your brother and the man you considered your uncle. When did things got so bad?
How it must have been the first day Riko tortured him? Does he remembers it? And how it happened? Did Riko slowly started to realize, now that Kevin was alone in the world, he could do whatever he wanted to him? Did Kevin try do defend himself only to learn that Tetsuji would ignore Riko's behavior, but wouldnt ignore it if Kevin fought back? In the back of his mind, does Kevin remembers the days in which things weren't like this? Like a faded memory of him and Riko playing around and laughing while Tetsuji and Kaylight talked? Did he grab onto this memory at the begging, hoping the kid he considered his brother was still in there somehow, somewhere, only to learn slowly that whatever path Riko chose had no coming back from?
Like, just imagine being a kid, grieving your mother and all of a sudden Uncle Tetsuji becomes Master and your best friend becomes self proclaimed n° 1
And then abuse becomes almost a second language, all your days feel like a fever dream , training like hell, being hurten like hell, all alone in the world, stuck in the Nest and trying to tell yourself this is what your mother would have wanted, even though the fading memories of her touch feels so different from the heavy hands and sticks you are now used to. How could someone who cradled you so gentily want this for you? But...did she ever cradled him? Or was that distant memory just a dream? It certainly felt like a dream sometimes.
Kevin really desearves to heal properly 🥺🥺🥺
no Listen kevin is doing the least healing out of everyone andrew goes to therapy he trusts people in his life he confides in neil and neil coped by running and lying and now he’s Staying he’s trying to be honest and to confide in others and letting himself love even jean is going to therapy for his water phobia and is working to trust people and is getting to the point where he can admit what happened to him was awful and he didn’t deserve it but kevin?? kevin doesn’t talk about his feelings Ever the most vulnerable we see him is when he has panic attacks about riko and what does he do? talk to the people around him? NO he chugs vodka and shoves it all down that’s all he does repress repress repress I doubt he’s even vulnerable in therapy yes bee knows the facts of the situation but when I first got into therapy I would give my life history so rehearsed and robotic and detached he can’t acknowledge how the horrible things he went through Affected him part of him still thinks the abuse made sense!!! because it was punishment for not being perfect!!! and he still believes he has to be perfect above all else!!!!
Just YES
need Jeremy to narrate more of Jean and Kevin’s divorced couple psychological torture mind games
