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.
If that right here isnt a print from the chat between Kevin and Andrew, then Im crazy
This is 100% cannon, it is true, I was the cellphone
Can we talk about the attack on the Foxes and exactly how many triggers that's going to set off?
How much do you want to bet that Lane swung for Neil's ribs first because he'd mouthed off in the interview and revealed that Jean had had broken ribs? How long until Jean puts it together and blames himself for the fact that he and Neil now share matching rib fractures from the Ravens? (Neil doesn't care. He'd do it all again).
Andrew has a broken collarbone so bad it needed surgery, and he's going to have to wear a sling for several weeks. He's immobilized and unarmed (literally if he can't wear a knife on his injured arm. A knife in the armband of his working arm would do nothing because he can't draw it with one hand). And Andrew has an immense fear of being too weak to defend himself, especially with a broken bone to make him a target.
Kevin. He's finally grown a spine and this is the first time we see him literally fight the Ravens. He throws hands in defense of his Foxes, and Neil in particular, when Kevin from a year before would never have. But he saw Andrew, his protector, his shield, the man he promised he would make Court, with a hand dangling limp and useless at his side thanks to a broken bone. How many hours did it take before they got Andrew into an x-ray and saw that it was fixable? How long did Kevin stare at Andrew's limp hand, memories of Riko and his own broken bones going through his mind?
Allison was off the court, but that's the part that's going to kill her. Only she, Renee, Nicky, and the freshmen were off the court, but the freshman don't count. Allison had to watch through plexiglass walls as her team was hurt, unable to do anything to help, and she probably thought how many times is this going to happen? How many times am I going to be sidelined while my friends are hurt? how many times will I be useless in protecting them from the Ravens? (It's been one year since Seth died. Since Allison let him go out and lost him and she's never stopped wondering if things would have gone differently if she had been there that night.)
Nicky is also stuck outside the plexiglass, watching as Andrew is the first to go down. He remembers Andrew fighting for him outside Eden's, remembers how Andrew never regretted defending Nicky even when it got him put on those hated meds. And he can't help but feel like a useless guardian because he wasn't there when Andrew was attacked at Thanksgiving (he was the reason Andrew was in that house) and he isn't there now. All he can do is watch.
The Foxes have a long road to recovery and they've definitely survived worse. But with so many old scars torn open, this year might be just as rough as the last
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.
so much love for the “minor” characters in all for the game. i’m talking dan’s sisters who showed up in custom PSU shirts for the finals, ride or dies like stephanie walker, the PSU soccer team who witnessed… a lot of shenanigans in the athletes dorm, “no bullshit on my watch” coach jimenez, the freshman trojan who’s fingers are covered in band aids, the bazonga line showing jean how to be human again. i love this world and ALL its fake people
"At two seconds, Kevin scored" SCREAMING ON MY PILLOW. Thats. My. Man.
(I've read this game before, still screaming on my pillow)
Uhhh invincible seasom 3 spoilers. You should really watch it. It’s so much more than a funny superhero show
I’m still so not over Rex’s death in Invincible. His entire arc over seasons 1-3 was beautiful. When we first met him in 1, I hated him. He was funny but I hated him. By Season 3, he’s a kind, mature and caring guy. Yes he still says the wrong thing sometimes, but he apologizes and it’s clear to everyone that he’s trying. He lost a hand, took a bullet to the brain, thought his teammates were dead and kept fighting.
I remember hearing somewhere that your true last words aren’t the last words your mouth makes before you die, they’re the last thing anyone who doesn’t die with you hears. The last thing Rex says to anyone who isn’t the Mark he takes down with him is for BP, Rudy, and MG to pass on a message to Rae, apologizing for not helping her finish moving in. Season 1 Rex would never help someone move in, he’d never apologize, he’d never love someone, and I don’t think he would care about the feelings of a woman, or make a sacrifice like that. But when he saw it was his time to go, the first thing on his mind was Rae.
He got wounded earlier in the fight, he checks the wound, realizes he’s not making it out and makes peace with that. He gets close to the evil Mark and digs into his gaping chest wound to touch his own bone and turn himself into a bomb. Yeah, the evil Marks aren’t as strong as our Mark, but they’re still viltrumites. Rex is one of the only mother fuckers in the show to go toe to toe with a viltrumite and defeat them. Yeah he had to kill himself to do it. I don’t care, he still did it, and he did it with love in his heart.
In the show’s larger overarching theme of tackling toxic masculinity, Mark is shown rejecting toxic masculinity again and again, but Rex is already down there. He’s a piece of shit in Season 1, but he gets better. He’s there to show the audience that they can get better, if they’re shitty. He and Mark are effectively narrative foils in that regard. Rex is a child soldier who’s a piece of shit and learns to drop his toxic masculinity. Mark is the son of a loving couple, grew up almost normal and rejects it from the start. The other Marks? The bad ones? They didn’t have as good of an upbringing. They’re our Mark if he was more like Rex.
But Rex gets better. He meets one of those bad Marks, and he fucking takes him with him. The ultimate condemnation of that evil in them both. My glorious king Rex Splode
i love that cat took a look at jean (tortured 6’2 huge strong bisexual frenchman sad grey eyes elite athlete tragic homoerotic situationship victim) and said i will make him even hotter. get on this motorcycle.
I think we as a community don't recognize how funny the first confrontation scene in The Foxhole Court is. Like we talk about how absolutely confused Kevin must have been and how the sudden language shift was wild and how Aaron and Nicky are just O.O over the quiet new kid losing his shit.
But Neil runs into the room (picking the lock with ease, mind you) guns blazing, threatens Kevin, calls him a slur and a "deadweight has-been", then turns and fucking runs. Like... doesn't even put up a pretense of a physical fight, just books it and slams the door closed like that's going to make a difference. The mental image of Neil Josten sprinting out the room like a thirteen year old who just pissed off his older sibling and is about to employ the kicking method is too good for us not to recognize.
my favourite scene of tsc is when cat saves jean from fans by asking him in french if he wants to fuck and jean is so shocked he just stops functioning and forgets to be an asshole long enough for them to drag him away. 10/10 problem solving from catalina alvarez
Dont we all like our man fruity??
