i was thinking about why i find writer!andrew so compelling, and yes, there is the surface-level reason that the eccentric, antisocial writer stereotype just fits him so well. it's too funny to think of andrew pouring over his work for days on end (while complaining to his cats about how much he hates writing) and ignoring calls from his agent begging him to please god finish the draft by the deadline this time. on a deeper level though, i think it has to do with the fact that andrew is fundamentally misunderstood by everyone except neil, renee, and his therapist, and doesn't go out of his way to make himself understood. were andrew to take up writing, or any form of artistic expression, he would have a way to communicate his rich and complex internal world while still maintaining a layer of self-removal. he would have the chance to be understood, to be seen, by some of the people who encounter his work, because they wouldn't be seeing andrew minyard the monster or andrew minyard the victim, only a vague sensibility behind the words on the page. my favorite writer!andrew fic is Why do we feel alone? by Leocante on ao3. it's a brilliant exploration of what writing could mean to andrew, and just a brilliant fic in general.
I absolutely headcanon that Andrew takes up writing after retiring from exy. He writes true crime and thrillers (or as he puts it, true crime and fake crime).

sense of self-worth so low that it loops back around into being totally dismissive of everyone else
a warm-hearted kind center beneath 200 protective walls of bitterness that doesn't actually make the bitterness better in any way at all even a little bit
bisexuality
crushing feelings of responsibility
zero understanding of own bodily autonomy that bleeds out and affects how they treat others
a lil petty vindictive sadism they maybe don't wanna look at too hard or acknowledge
full self-awareness of all their most negative traits without working to fix those traits at all
internalized misogyny
a mysterious undefinable hunger that cannot / should not / must not ever be sated
AFTG in modern time and its videos titled “Neil’s Josten being unhinged for 34 minutes straight” then there’s “Kevin Day being gay for Jeremy Knox for over 6 minutes” “Jean Moreau and Jeremy Knox being adorable for 27 minutes and 38 seconds.” Lots of “Andrew Minyard being iconic for 8 minutes not so straight”. how can I forget, “Jean Moreau forgetting English core” and finally “Neil Josten vs. Press duty (feat. Kevin day)”.
Andrew isn’t tactile? bullshit! at least not when it comes to Neil. I absolutely refuse to believe that the man who, in the very first book, was already brushing his fingers across Neil’s back hard enough to “send goosebumps down his spine,” and who was already fighting the urge to kiss him by the second book, somehow isn’t tactile. I refuse to believe he wouldn’t finish his coffee, toss the mug into the sink, and, on his way past Neil, casually catch him by the waist to steady himself just long enough to press a quick kiss to his cheek. I refuse to believe he wouldn’t stand behind Neil while he washes the dishes, lazily draping an arm around his waist, absentmindedly tapping his fingertips against Neil’s thigh as he waits. or quietly take Neil’s hand into his own, trace the familiar lines of his scars with his thumb, and finish by pressing a few soft kisses against his knuckles. I refuse to believe he wouldn’t pull himself closer before they fall asleep just to bury his face in the crook of Neil’s neck and breathe him in. or idly trace little, meaningless shapes across Neil’s knee with the tip of his finger during yet another team meeting. do I think Andrew is more tactile than Neil? no. not in the way people usually mean it. Neil’s affection is obvious. It’s visible, instinctive, impossible to miss. Andrew’s is quiet. It’s found in barely-there touches, fleeting brushes of his hand, small gestures that almost anyone else would overlook. Neil always notices.
I think that's the cruelest part. Not that you're gone. But that my life never stopped including you. You're still the first person I look for in every story. The first laugh I want to hear. The first voice I imagine when the room gets to quiet. You have no idea how often you still exist in my days. Even though you haven't been part of them for a long time.

Man, I agree and I don't care if it's cringe to say so. My mom has been saying that she remembers the bicentennial when she was a kid, and people were hyped up. She said sidewalks and poles were painted with the colors of the flag. Now? You only see mentions of the 250th anniversary in advertisements trying to cash in on it, really. But among people, nobody’s heart is in it. It could've been great. This person is right and this was part of what was so gutting about 2024; it was the best of American ideals vs the worst of American society...and the worst won. It's still hard to sit with.
It’s just fucking infuriating that we’ve had to deal with this pig ruining everything he touches for 10 years straight because, for various reasons, people refused to take the world’s biggest walking red flag seriously. I know nihilists will say "well this is Good, you see, cuz people shouldn't celebrate America ever cuz America Bad" but here in reality, we're allowed to be angry because it never had to be this way. It was always so avoidable. There are so many people I will never forgive.
I was born during the bicentennial year, was raised in a military family, and I have been low-key looking forward to 250 for literally my entire life. The way that guy has ruined it is so disgusting.
Maybe I will have to live to 100 out of spite so I get another chance.
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
@hollanovmicrofic July Prompt: Babe. @hollanovbingo Prompt: Boston. ~610 words. (This is a standalone AU meet-cute.)
"Hey sexy, can I buy you a drink?"
Shane declines. "Oh, no thank you. I don't really drink."
"Then what's this?"
"It's just ginger ale."
"Oh really?" This jerk doesn't believe him. "Can I sit here?"
"I'd rather you not." Shane says.
"I mean, it's a bar, right? I can sit wherever I want."
"Then why bother asking?" Shane mutters.
"You've got a mouth on you huh?" And suddenly the jerk is grabbing Shane's wrist.
Shane freezes. He doesn't know what to do. He really doesn't want to start a fight. He just wanted to watch the hockey game playing on the bar screens in peace. Then, suddenly, he hears another man's voice from behind him.
"Hey babe, sorry I'm late." Shane turns towards the low, accented voice. The man had curly blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. He's eyeing down the jerk who sat beside Shane and asks, "Everything ok?"
Thankfully, Jerky McJerkface lets go of Shane's wrist. A beat passes and then, impulsively, Shane gives the blonde man a quick peck on the lips.
"Yeah babe, all good. Just tired." Shane says steadily. "Let's go home?"
The blonde man blinks for a moment and says, "Ok."
Shane gets up from his barstool too quickly and wobbles a bit but he feels a hand on his waist helping steady him. Then he's walking towards the door with the blonde man following closely behind him.
When they're outside, they walk side by side in awkward silence for a couple of blocks.
"I'm Ilya."
"Shane." And he lets out a sigh of relief.
"Boston is.. not the safest city in America." Ilya says.
Shane definitely regrets going out by himself in an unfamiliar city he's visiting for work for a couple of nights. But he was feeling wild and impulsive. And he didn't want to stay cooped up in a hotel room after the stressful week he's had.
"Yeah, I noticed." Shane lets out a shaky laugh. They stop walking.
"Thank you for.. what you did back there. You saved me."
"Yes." Ilya smiles at him.
"Well, I should head back to my hotel. It's a couple more blocks from here, I think."
"I could walk with you. If you want." Ilya offers. "Boston remember? May not be safe."
To Shane's own surprise, he agrees. It ended up being a 15 minute walk back to the hotel. That's when he learns that Ilya moved to Boston from Russia a couple of years ago. And that Ilya was pregaming with a friend but he stayed back cause he wanted to watch the rest of the hockey game.
"I was watching the game too." Shane pauses and realizes. "Oh no, you're a Boston fan."
"Yes, I did not see your Metros shirt until I was already your fake boyfriend." Ilya says jokingly. "Maybe, is bad idea to date Montreal fan yes?"
Shane laughs. Maybe he wasn't the only one feeling impulsive that night.
"But maybe, maybe is worth it." Ilya winks at him. Shane is rolling his eyes but he's smiling. They spend the rest of the walk talking puck and chirping each other's teams.
When they get to Shane's hotel, the awkward silence returns but there's something more to it now.
Ilya breaks the ice again. "Good night Shane. Have a safe night."
"You too. Good night Ilya. Thank you again."
Ilya gives him a brief nod and turns back the way they came. He doesn't make it too far before the impulse takes over Shane again.
"Hey Ilya!" Shane running a bit to cut the short distance between them. "Would you.. want to come up?"
It's Ilya's turn to let out a sigh of relief. "Yes."
and if i said that that jeremy trying to yoyo in the scene where he and jean meet is a perfect introduction to his character. because think about it. yoyoing is an activity which many deem childish and useless. that said, it takes a lot of skill and practice to be able to do it well, and it's impressive when someone actually can. yoyoing can be read as a symbol for jeremy's optimism. at first, jean doesn't understand what kevin meant by saying [of the trojans] "their kindness matters." he assumes that jeremy's optimism is the result of naiveté, and that it is ultimately futile. as jean gets to know jeremy, however, he learns that he has suffered profoundly, and experiences negative emotions as regularly as anyone else. he realizes that jeremy is kind in spite of his sufffering, in spite of his capacity for cruelty, and that it makes a huge difference in the lives of his teammates and loved ones. like yoyoing, this is a difficult skill that jeremy has spent years honing, heedless of those who would dismiss it.

fun behaviors to give dragons that aren't feline/canine based
cause as much as i love dragons purring and roaring i wish there was just more variety in how they would act
clacking their teeth together to show contentedness/happiness (budgies)
using tails as a defensive weapon in a whip like fashion (iguana)
twitching to express that they're not a threat to members of their species (hognose snake)
feeling calm when eyes are hooded/covered (birds of prey)
head bobbing as a threat display (anoles/bearded dragons)
flattening neck or sides to appear bigger (snakes/lizards)
mantling over food to protect it from hatchmates (birds of prey)
wiggling neck as a courting maneuver (budgies)
audibly grinding teeth as a warning (macaques)
maintained eye contact as a challenge (gorillas)
pounding wings against sides as a threat (gorillas)
slapping other dragons with their claws when their personal bubble is invaded (seals)
hoards used as a site to impress mates (birds of paradise)
snorting when undergoing heightened stress (horses)
making repeated loud noises with surroundings to establish territory (woodpeckers)
loud constant arguments with other dragons when roosting (bats)
building lairs that cause a domino effect of change in the land around them (beavers)
slapping their tails against the ground/water as a warning (beavers)
wiggling tail tip to attract prey (various animals)
wiggling tail tip as a warning (snakes)
plucking or scraping off scales as a sign of stress (parrots)
raising spines/frills as a response to danger and carrying on with their usual business as they believe they're protected (lionfish)
and im not saying canine and feline behaviors are wrong or bad to give a dragon (people wouldn't write dragons with those behaviors if they weren't fun in the first place!) but i feel for creatures that are mythological giant winged lizards that you can do more and get experimental with it. often the more unfamiliar behavior the more dragony the dragon feels
Baby crocodilians make laser noises to summon their parents. A long, repeated bout of laser noises is an affiliative call, but chirps with pauses in between is "mom come pick me up I'm scared." (If you ever hear the laser noises in the wild, get away from the water's edge, there are few creatures as scary as a mother crocodilian defending her babies.)
Adult crocodilians hiss and bellow, and when they bellow, there's an infrasonic layer we cannot hear but a rider would feel... and it makes water dance on their backs. They do this in groups during mating season.
Many lizards make a huff sound when they're annoyed. I don't have a video for this one but it's like the audible equivalent of a teenage eye roll.
When the Chihuahuan hook-nosed snake is scared, it farts dramatically.
Not a reptile in the classical sense of the word, but a reptile in the taxonomic one- a parrot's syrinx shriek (the bad noise)
Another terrible bird noise
My favorite "why does it sound like that" bird noise
