Nothing

(Edit: it's supposed to say "the animal eel" but I can't edit it now)

The animatic is finally here!!!! YAhooo!!

I really hope you like it. Took me something like two/three weeks on top of an insane amount of work, I don't know how I managed both-

- Thea will make an appearance but Nora is aware she’s universally hated… so there’s that

- Blond Jeremy

- Auburn Neil. Auburn. Not ginger (but we’re free to ignore this)

- Neil gives Andrew the first cheek kiss and the first forehead kiss (mostly because Andrew can’t reach Neil’s)

- she really likes the bond between Jean and Neil and hopes to explore that to some degree. She says their experiences laid the groundwork for an enduring friendship and they have a very special kind of intimacy

- there will be flashbacks to Jean’s abuse in TSC

- if andreil ever got married Neil would pick Matt as his best man and Andrew would pick Kevin

- Andrew still pampers Neil with gifts and clothes even after Neil learns some fashion sense

- the marriage between Mary and Nathan was arranged

- Ichirou is 24 in TKM, 25 in TSC

- Kevin likes Hamilton and Andrew knows the Le Miserables songs because he heard them once

- Kevin does indeed appear in TSC

- Renee has a few scenes in TSC

- Jeremy’s family makes an appearance in TSC

- she hopes TSC will be a standalone

- the twins got on the horses in TKM with kiddie stools

given the partner system at the Nest, at least for me, I'd struggle to see Jean being in the right place in his recovery to be entering a relationship.

“As angry as he was with Kevin and Neil, he was always willing to die for them”

The fact that Jean won’t play with Kevin but he NEVER stopped caring for him!!!! 

He was willing to die for Kevin, which i'm, you know, normal about

Especially because, not only was he willing to die for Kevin, but for Neil as well!!!!!!!

He hardly even knew Neil!!! I wonder so much what happened during Christmas that made him care for Neil like this???

Was it just Neil’s effect on people??? Was it Neil just being his difficult self that made Jean decide he’d do what it took to save him??

“I said no, you have to live, and I never asked him if he actually wanted to”

Oh. OH, oh…

MA’AM.

The fact that Jean committed suicide in every draft before this. The final one. He didn’t want to live. But he was forced to. 

“You have to live.” you have to survive. you deserve this chance. you can’t give up like this. 

“It’s about a boy who shouldn’t be alive”

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE!!! HE WANTED TO!!!

But finally he lived and that was it!!!

But it WASN’T!!! Because now he has to continue to live!!! And he doesn’t know how!!!!

He shouldn’t be here. He wasn’t supposed to make it. 

And he’s here. 

“And honestly, in this day & age, don’t we all deserve that”

Jean deserves to live. 

He deserves to have his story told. 

So for people worried about potential renee and Jean, you can rest assure. These are in the tags of a recent post on tumblr so it is new news so.

Also, once again please don’t bully nora offline again I swear to god. And I love jerejean like the sun but we have to respect nora and her books and characters. I don’t want Nora to write this book as a fan service. I want her to write whatever she wants and she see fits for her beloved characters and world.
