If Jeremy dies I'll be right behind him ✌️

So like, if Jeremy dies, we've all signed the pact right? If he dies, we go down with him.

All of this, every single bit. And the worst part is reading the EC makes it hurt more. My first read, I kinda reacted to Seth's death the same and Neil and Kevin, didnt really care. Now that Ive read the EC, and reread the books, I cried when Seth died, he genuinely was trying so hard and didnt deserve what happened to him. I think it was from a tumblr post but i honestly dont remember but someone said "seth died for a man that will never mourn him" ripped my heart out

How did Wymack feel when he discovered that his own son had spent nearly his entire life in a cult? To realize that he had been powerless to shield his child from trauma. Instead, he had lived on, absorbed in his career, never once imagining that somewhere far away his son was being hurt. Was it his fault? Of course not. Did he think about it back then? Probably not. And then to stand before a broken, unhappy athlete — traumatized, hiding every wound behind a bottle — and learn that this man was his son. Worse still was the understanding that he could no longer shape who Kevin had become. He was already grown, already living by choices he had made on his own. The moment when a father might have stepped in, might have said “you can’t do this”, had long since passed. That chance was gone. The childhood he might have given him would never exist. All that remained was acceptance and the quiet, unbearable task of looking at the life that had grown without him, hoping that one day the weight of that impossible guilt might finally loosen its grip.

This really puts into perspective just how small Jean was. That last panel, Kevin looks like hes comforting his younger brother and to him he is, but Jean is resting so peacefully like theres nowhere else he would rather be.

y’all have got to stop recommending aftg to heated rivalry enjoyers unprompted 😭 this is like recommending cocaine to someone who has eaten a pot brownie once

There’s a different kind of tragedy in the fact that Kevin Day was loved and wanted by both his parents and still ended up with a terrible life. Most of the other characters in the series were doomed from the start, their parents awful or neglectful or somewhere in between. Kevin could’ve had it all but still ended up perfect Fox material.

That just broke something in me. I knew he was loved and wanted by both of them, but never really put those pieces together. Oh how happy they could have been if Kayleigh had chosen Wymack. If she had stayed, it could have been so different.

there’s an influx of copies of tfc being sold on vinted and i wonder if they’re the people who got recommended aftg after heated rivalry

I am holding out hope so bad that with how popular Heated Rivalry got that maybe one day AFTG will get a show. I would give anything to watch them come to life.

the concept of cat and jean having a shared tiktok account where they post about their motorcycle trips with sprinkles of some low-key thirst traps (cat edits everything, jean doesn’t really care about what goes on with the account he just does it because it makes his friend happy). safe to say that the account goes extremely viral.

I can imagine edit posts combining his exy games with him on the bike. Starts out with him being a beast on the court, throwing insane passes, scoring goals and running laps around his opponents, then the music drops and its him being sexy af on his bike. Pictures of him pulling his helmet off, arms flexed. Him readjusting his jacket in slow motion. Jeremy would see these edits and immediately have a anime nose bleed moment.

One scene i think about a lot in the EC is when Wymack comes home to Andrew getting off his meds. Andrew is drunk af, still slightly high and practically dissociating trying to think and Wymack barely says anything, just makes Andrew a sandwich and listens to him. Andrews mind is reeling, trying to put the peices together and Wymack just calmly gives answers, nonchalant and completely neutral. Andrew knows Wymack so well, knows who he is and what lengths he would go to for his foxes. But Wymack knows him just as much. The moments he needs heavy hands, vs the moments he needs calm silence. He is a boulder in every sense, an anchor. He knows exactly how to ground Andrew and because they trust and respect each other, they both let it happen.

yes jean dies in every other draft, but here’s your friendly reminder that there’s a specific draft where jean decides to end his life with kevin on the phone because he wants to hear his voice in his final moments.
