women- especially women of color- aren't completely and totally pushed aside in fiction for the favor of m/m ships that usually have little to no chemistry. i swear. the reason there's no content for them in fan media is because. uh. (sweating buckets) they're less interesting in canon. unlike the men, who have been projected onto by fans to the point of having whole new personalities. which is different
Kevin Day is truly the patron saint of everyone who had a friendship breakup as a teen that had no heterosexual explanation
actually Andrew is a quite well adjusted regular guy for a 20 yo who was dealt a shitty hand at life and made some bad choices as a teen bc of it but he consistently goes to therapy, forms support networks and surrounds himself with kind people, and actively wants to get better, so its crazy how ppl think Neil the godfather Josten who was taken out of a crime tv show, sleeps facing the wall to put on colored contacts, makes up a new persona every time he goes grocery shopping and thinks therapists are out to get him is the normal one in that relationship
my favourite underrated moment in aftg is when they're all shopping for halloween costumes and neil finds like. a milk carton costume with a cutout for his face and the caption "have you seen me?" and he holds it up in front of him, only for andrew to go "oh that's perfect neil!" like lmao?? that's such an unhinged comment to make??? we as a fandom don't talk enough about how little of a filter andrew has when he does bother to speak. what a silly man i love him
Ik I died briefly so have a jean
"Tell your baby that I'm your baby" anyway just thinking about how jean reads as much as he can because he was never allowed to.
I’m currently very scared for the future of Jeremy and Jean’s relationship. Because in TSC we learn that Jean has a very public reputation for “sleeping his way onto the Ravens starting line,” and exy fans and reporters alike would rip Jean to shreds if it came out that he was dating the captain of his new team. And even though he has feelings for Jean, Jeremy—knowing the truth behind the rumors—would rather cut off his own hand than contribute to Jean’s suffering.
