He speaks with two or tree guys who don't take him seriously. It makes him even more depressed until he receives a message:

N1cky_Claus-et : My coming out was the worst day of my life too. My parents didn't react well.. BUT ! Don't worry! It will get better eventually!

Jeremy feels a weight leave his heart. And he startes asking him questions. Before he realises, Jeremy has spent his evening speaking to this boy.

J_Sunsh1n3: I don't know if it's strange but- can I have your contact ? I just want a friend who understands...

After fifteen minutes without an answer, the regret hits him. And with the regret, the shame. Shame that crawls beneath his skin. Why did he ask ? Obviously Nicky doesn't want to speak to-

A message. In private.

A phone number and a email.

N1cky_Claus-et : SORRY !!! My boyfriend asked me why I was so happy and I told him all about you !!!! Sorry for making you wait, Jer :) !

Jer

Jeremy can't help but smiles. And his smile stays.

Maybe Nicky is right.

It will get better eventually.

Like, your stupid beautiful Kevin, who you've been hopelessly in love with for years but you've relentlessly pushed your feelings away from because he's straight and that was final. He who never looked your way and always went on about how it's easier to be heterosexual so you get the smallest of comfort from the fact that it couldn't of worked out anyway.

Once you leave the nest (after said crush leaves you behind), you discover that not only is Kevin Day in a relationship, but with two other people who both happen to also be men. Even worse when you realise one of the two was supposed to be your promised forever partner, the person who was supposed to be by your side in all this but also the other person being the player Kevin has been obsessing over signing to the perfect court for years. Despite Jean being right next to Kevin all those years, it all falls down to Jean not being the person Kevin would want. Maybe there was a possibility once but Kevin had eyes for two other people who also in a way haunted your own narrative.

OKAY WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE RAVEN/FOX FIGHT AND NEIL

I saw that there has been some talk that Neil “I’m fine” Josten lay on the court floor after he was attacked not because he was that hurt, but to milk it to the crowd/refs and honestly, and respectfully, I disagree wholeheartedly.

Of course we weren’t there in Neil’s head and we will never know BUT what we can ascertain is that Neil saw Andrew go down. He saw that exy stick coming for Andrew’s head, slide down his helmet and connect solidly to his shoulder and then Andrew went down. We can then assume, that in the course of a second, he could see frantic movement, chaos not associated with exy violence but with true and frightening violence and just as he went to get to Andrew, get to Andrew, what is going on, get to Andrew. He gets absolutely blindsided.

Sure, maybe the first blow he would have been able to recover from but let’s not forget Lane (?) then came for his neck. Jeremy described it as her trying to break his neck and then says something along the lines of Neil not being able to fight her off.

Neil, who was held down by Riko, by Lola, by his Father was not just going to say down knowing his whole life (Andrew, Kevin, his foxes) were fighting for their lives in this organized ambush. He would never have laid down when he could do something. Because that is who Neil Josten is. He is a do-er. He is a problem-solver. He is a fixer (whether those he’s fixing likes it or not). He is loyal. he is traumatized. He is fiercely protective. He is paranoid. He is a fighter. He is a survivor.

There is no way Neil would play up his injury to the crowd because in that moment, who the fck cares about the crowd? Who cares about the court of public opinion? His people were being HURT.

Neil, who would do anything for Andrew wouldn’t stay down.

Neil, who would never knowingly and willingly allow himself to be checked out by Abby wouldn’t stay down.

Neil, whose whole life depends on his ability to play exy, wouldn’t stay down.

Neil, who could hear Kevin struggling, and Matt and Aaron fighting wouldn’t stay down.

Neil, who could sense Andrew’s pure rage, fright, pain, fighting his way to him wouldn’t stay down and knowingly put Andrew through such turmoil when he could do something to fix it (remember, they act like they’re in each other orbit? They know each other. Even with some secrets)

Sure, Neil “I’m fine” Josten has been through worse… but has he? Or did he think after brokering this deal, getting his father killed, was there when Riko died, who did his best to destroy the Ravens, help Jean, help Kevin, maybe he thought that this was the time to play exy. Forget the world and destroy this horrible team on the court.

Neil went down and didn’t get back up until he was helped off. That boy was hurt. Even days later, he struggled to get out of the car in front of strangers and cameras. He couldn’t stop the pain from his face. He may be an open book to Andrew but he is tough, and a btch and rude to outsiders. He is not weak and here, he showed weakness.

after the big game, Allison says that Neil's feet look fucked-up. they've got a decent break before training begins for the next year (or in Neil's case with Kevin, pre-year training), so Neil agrees to go the spa with Allison after his injuries finish healing. he hates it. he can't get comfortable with so many strangers around him, let alone with these people touching his body. and a massage is completely out of the question, what do you mean he has to let someone touch him from behind while he remains in a defenseless position?

the spa trip was a bust. but Allison isn't one to accept defeat so easily. now, don't get confused about this. Allison is never one to claim altruism. if Dan or Renee were to ask, she'd simply say that she can't have such a high-profile member of her inner circle remain in such a sorry state of unkemptliness. Kevin would unironically agree with her

she spends a day with Neil. Allison personally gives him a manicure. after he gets a better understanding of the process and gets a more used to her touch, he allows her to give him a pedicure. then she gives him another haircut. they move on to face masks, which she made specifically to help soften his skin and prevent itchiness/tightening along his scars. eventually she'll tackle the massage problem, especially considering he is a professional athlete who handles more stress than anyone else she knows, and he absolutely needs to release tension in his muscles. in the meantime, she gets him into yoga

Allison and Neil are not friends, and they will maintain this to anyone who asks. the rest of the Foxes aren't so sure how true that statement is, but they don't push because they don't want to risk ruining whatever kind of relationship seems to have been forged between the two. one time during a movie night, Neil fell asleep with head against Allison's shoulder. if Allison got a little emotional about, she'd explain that the film they were watching had impacted her a lot. so what if they were watching an action-comedy?

the Foxes go to Eden's. some guy starts harassing Allison, and Neil takes his cues from her. if she wants him to intervene, he'll intervene. if she wants to handle it herself, he'll step aside. Allison handles it herself. a bystander calls tells Neil that "beautiful women are to be feared" and Neil responds with "she's not scary because she's pretty, she's scary because she's resilient", which Allison overhears. she's not used to being respected for her accomplishments, and the closest she's ever gotten was with Wymack. against her will, she starts to feel a familial bond begin to bloom between herself and Neil. it's weird for her, she had given up on having a sibling who cared about her years ago

(i think it's like all hockey - and a lot of it is l*afs-centric) (they all have truth, but some have elements that didn't happen irl). in an au where all foxes went pro (except aaron bcz as a biochem student- if a man's going through all that suffering let him be a doctor)

kevin: liked a tweet of a dude getting pegged, and then in a press conference had to explain how his finger slipped but in a way that 1) makes it seem like he's not into being pegged and 2) does not put down ppl who like to get pegged. (likes are now privated)

neil: post-game, an opponent was getting real close to him and in his face and then on instinct, neil licked him. it got a visceral reaction, so he did it to another guy later on. someone on social media reported that the NEL had a talk with neil to make him stop, and then he reposted that and said 'no they didn't lol'

hiccup DOES NOT play around breakfast. he’s having a breakfast no matter what

I know there’s a lot of hcs saying hiccups is a almond eater and astrids a muncher but i feel like its the other way around for some reason.

hiccup and astrid actually wanted two girls and a boy, but decided to leave it at two after they got one of each. (zephyr and nuffink)

hiccstrid is obviously smart but i think they like to act dumb or slow sometimes just to make the other laugh.

they keep their wedding attire and sometimes put it on and dance together to relive those moments

if pictures were a thing, they would have like huge frames of their wedding photos and soon family photos with the kids.

astrid says i love you ‘off camera’

they both like when the house is set to a cold temperature so they can snuggle more.

astrid loves the color pink

this is wild but i feel like they would casually curse in front of zephyr cause like yk babies don’t really understand but when they had nuffink he would repeat it so they had to eventually stop

astrid’s parents LOVE hiccup

Both of their parents said they used to kiss each other on the cheek when they were younger and used to say ‘we’re boyfriend and girlfriend’ but became distant after getting older so they don’t remember

hiccup jokes with astrid saying she had a crush on him first (not true cause of the first film) but she was low key plotting him.

hiccup cooks and astrid cleans but they both alternate from time to time.

astrid chops her hair to like shoulder length and it takes hiccup 4-8 business days to notice it like BRUH

hiccup starts growing visible facial hair at like 17 but consistently shaves it off in rtte. He finally leaves it alone and rocks the stubble during httyd 3

After they get married, hiccup discovers that astrid is more of a yapper than him lol

I actually think they wanted to get married in like their late 20s but everyone couldn’t shut up about it clearly so they were like whatever, i guess (after the dragons left of course)

they secretly love physical touch and quality time:)

hiccup tells astrid to wear her hair down more often and also offers to brush it.

they show a little bit more pda once they’re newlyweds

Thinking about the other riders noticing this and trying to let him know he doesn’t need to be useful to matter to them but they suck at properly communicating this and it accidentally sends Hiccup spiraling into thinking he’s not doing enough to be useful enough for them to stay friends with him

Thinking about this culminating into Hiccup passing out one day from exhaustion, waking up in bed to his father, Gobber, and all the riders looking like death warmed over from the worry they all felt for him
