accidently AFTG obsessed

thinking about how neil’s trilogy is partly about him learning how to care about something (exy, andrew, and the rest of the foxes) besides what he’s been taught to value most (anonymity) and how the jerejean trilogy is partly about jean learning how to care about something (jeremy, cat, laila, and healing) besides what he’s been taught to value most (exy)… kevin day, what and/or who will YOU learn to care about in your duology??

TKM is one of the funniest aftg books because neil is actively getting hunted for sport the entire time and instead of caring about that he’s just meddling in other people’s lives and playing therapist for 400 pages: telling kevin to start living for himself & and forcing the twins to go to therapy together & passing jean’s number on to renee so that she can talk to him. and it WORKS too. the field of psychology lost its best mind when neil decided to go pro w/ exy

the fact that the only affection jean had been afforded in the nest had been muted and shown in secret, and now his best friend is catalina alvarez and she loves so loudly

I think a lot about the press getting a shot of Jean kissing Cat’s forehead at his first game and how monumental that photo was like that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what people expect of him; being affectionate with a teammate—a queer woman of color as well—during the cleanest game of his career.

every aftg pair of blond california boy and his mafia boyfriend have dealt with a common hetromantic rival (Renee) and common homoromantic annoyance (Kevin)

why is nobody talking about the inevitable TBC plotline which is that we’re going to get a whole book of Jean Moreau navigating the highs and lows of collegiate exy while making sure he gets home in time to feed his fuckass little dog his dog dinner
