I hated that he was using it to defend his drinking problem
But at the same time I liked he so boldly admitted to be number 1 and most of all, to always have been
He says that the last person who tried to take it from him died. Which means that he had always been the best (which we know is true), even before Riko broke his hands
Here he clearly states things how they were: Kevin was the best striker and Riko was always trying to take this spot from him (either by using his place of power to bully him into acting like if he was second or by ultimately breaking his hand)
And I liked that he did it so naturally
Some time ago he would have never been able to say or even think something like that
Still pisses me off that he was using this to defend he could drink all he wanted (bc he already was the best and the one who tried to take it away from him died, so he is unchallenged)
If he was sober and not saying it to justify being an alcoholic it would have been a full diva slays moment
I know a lot found Kevin’s checkmate line hilarious and very diva but I have to say it wasn’t funny and Kevin depressed me in this book🥲
Exy exy exy exy exy exy exy and drinking every time he has to talk about the nest & Riko.
Just yes
Meanwhile he refused to solve his own problems and until they almost killed him
Neil saw the "I can fix him trope" and said "I can fix his brother and their issues, his vague acquaintances, his college sports team and his extremely dependent best friend and have his enemies killed but I won't fix him cause he's perfect"
can i have you for a moment please
Jean about Neil and Kevin basically: I am intrinsically linked to them, they are me and I am them in some way, I would trust them with my life and would go to the ends of the earth if they asked me to, our fates and souls are intertwined, they are my Achilles heel and I could and would not exist in a world without them in it.
Also Jean: ew no, they’re not my friends, have you met them? Insufferable and annoying.
One day, while Kevin and Neil are having a heated argument in French on the court one of the freshmen yells:
"Speak English!"
Annoyed by the intrusion, Kevin and Neil share a look and silently decide on malicious compliance.
Neil, though born in America, was raised by his British mother and would use a British accent whenever they spoke English in Europe to blend in.
Kevin is Irish. Born in Ireland, raised by his Irish mother until her untimely death.
They both switch to their 'mother tongues', speaking English but in thick British and Irish accents.
The team can barely understand them. Reprimands and insults are met with confusion. The freshmen are frantic, trying to figure out how to correct their technique when they can only understand every few words. The upperclassmen can't stop laughing, Matt and Allison are trying to repeat some of the words in mock British and Irish accents.
Andrew is in silent turmoil as he discovers a new turn on with an hour of practice still to go.
I be reading TGR like religious catholic people read the bible. I’m just living my life doing anything at all and then I’ll be like hmmm what was it he said in that passage?? *takes book out of my pocket and begins reading devoutly* “they… are not… your partners,” Jean 15:2. yes sir, preach.
aftg is like the sims 4 because every character is assumed bisexual unless otherwise specified
Neil’s eyes, the color of the sky. Jean’s, the moon that dwells there. A forever partner, forever misplaced. These two make me sick
My friend,
Sorry if i bother you but my family and I are going through very difficult times, and I am doing everything I can to overcome them, but I can no longer do it alone💔.

Please don’t ignore my message—every bit of support, no matter how small, could be a lifeline for us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🥺♥️
Please donate and share, any help can make a difference
Unfortunetely Im not in a position to donate right now, but Im sharing in hopes somebody who sees it is in a position to
So I have been thinking and I noticed one kind of disturbing thing in the backstories revealed in TGR
So, we all know Jean tried to end his own life at the Nest and Riko tortured him for it and then locked him basically on a box with breathing holes
During the time Jean was locked in there, Kevin went to talk to him and made him promise to not try it again, bc he wouldnt be able to handle being left alone with Riko again (before Jean's arrival when they were all 14ish, it was just Kevin and Riko). Jean promised it to him, and not matter how much he wanted to, he never dared to break the promise, even after Kevin had left.
Riko never knew this talk or this promise happened, which means that this mtf probably thought the reason why Jean never tried to kill himself again was bc of the torture he faced after he tried it 🤡
Like, Riko was probably outhere thinking that locking someone up in a coffin for days is a super effective way to prevent future suicide attempts (kinda ironic since Riko died of "suicide", aah the karma that came to this little bitch will never not me amazing to me)
Anyways, just wanted to share with yall my disturbing thought of the night
andrew, who is hopelessly devoted and desperately in love: i hope you get curbstomped. neil, stupid demisexual who could not have less of a clue and doesn't know what romance is: you just want me to stop asking you questions. too bad. i have to know you, because how else am i ever supposed to know myself? my soul was welded to yours with the heat of my heart the first time you set it on fire. let me in, andrew. that's all i can hope for. can we go play exy
