So so crazy about Jean's ceramics class recently. I want him to get really into ceramics as a means a stress relief soooo bad☆
congratulations to kevin day for being the aftg character who most gets cussed out with traditionally gender-nonconforming insults. drama queen, scathing diva, insufferable bitch. first male victim of misogyny
I've seen people mention that Mathilda keeping Jeremy's documents somewhere is crazy, but I haven't read anyone say what this exemplifies.
We are talking about Jeremy's birth certificate, his passport, social security document... we are talking here about JEREMY'S IDENTITY. The identity that Jeremy's family has held hostage, literally and figuratively. And it's not just that anymore.
We are talking about an abysmal level of violence and homophobia because... if Jeremy wasn't gay, his family wouldn't treat him like that. Think about it. Bryson is the addict and the one who started being Jeremy's dealer, but he has relative freedom. He's even sure that if he blames Jeremy, everyone will believe it.
They blame Jeremy for Noah when everyone knew Noah was not well. Jeremy begged them to help him and no one did. They blame him because they need someone to take all the hits from the family, and that is Jeremy, the gay son who, therefore, falls outside the box in a family of conservative politicians.
This comes from afar, without a doubt. That Jeremy's biological father is also from the "conservative elite" (it doesn't have to be that way, but he is a high-ranking US military official in 2006, I don't think he is very liberal) and abandons the entire family even though Jeremy seems to continue to be loyal to him by keeping his last name (a last name he doesn't like because it continually reminds him that his biological father has abandoned them), says a lot about what Jeremy is experiencing and his sense of loyalty.
The fact that Jeremy does not even have his birth papers exemplifies that his family has stolen his identity, and he is not a person to them either. As long as they have a black sheep to blame, they will never change or excuse Jeremy, because it is in their best interest not to.
The Wilshire need a scapegoat to blame.
Oh, and look what a coincidence!
...Guess who has been the Ravens' scapegoat.
ppl who overemphasize the andreil height difference make no sense to me like. it’s 3 inches and andrew prolly wears his fuck ass platform boots while neil prances around in sneakers so worn out he might as well just be wearing socks. be fr they’re practically eye to eye neil’s just got a complex and points out andrew’s height every other sentence
when they go pro andrew dresses neil if he’s going to be seen in public and also just ends up buying a lot of neil’s clothes, bc of this neil gets a reputation for being fashionable, everyone who actually knows neil thinks this is hilarious
Jean "the French Menace" Moreau & Jeremy "Deescalation Backhug" Knox
Ik I died briefly so have a jean
I feel like the aftg fandom has just swung hard from one mischaracterization of Neil to another.
Yes, Neil is not an innocent little soft-boy like a lot of fans made him out to be pre-TSC, but he isn't some cold, calculated badass either.
He took out a hit on Grayson over Thai food. He doodles fox paws in his notebooks and hates vegetables. He insults FBI agents' parking jobs and he spent a bus ride staring over the back of his seat making heart eyes at his boyfriend. He manipulated the agents while eating takeout in the interrogation room. He canonically internally panics and overthinks the entire time he's attempting to manipulate anyone. He uses people's family trauma to manipulate them. He misses his mom.
Neil Abram Josten is a multifaceted character
andrew interacts with neil like he's playing episode with no diamonds
