The best thing about Neil’s interactions with Ichirou is that they show he has the ability to choose his words carefully and show respect/submission when necessary for his own safety… and he just chose not to do that before. His pride is a pricey queen that will only bow to a certain caliber of threat. He needs to be confronted by a high enough level of murderous mob member before he finally unlocks the ability to use his filter. He has it in his lil duffle bag, but he stores it in there for safe keeping unless shit is really going down.
deadliest piece on the board tonight queen? 👀
aaron minyard's life will never stop being funny to me. your mother is abusive and you become addicted to drugs. you discover you have a twin brother and the guy doesn't want to fucking talk to you. he goes to juvie and then comes to live with you. he kills your fucking mother. he doesn't talk to you. your gay cousin comes back from Europe and adopts you. your brother almost kills some more people and now he has to be medicated all the time. you get a scholarship to play a stupid sport at a dead-beat team of rejects with basically your whole family. your brother still doesn't talk to you. he carries knives now. he adopts a guy who had his hand crashed and looks like he ran away from a cult. he's a celebrity. you meet a girl that you like but you can't be with her because your brother might kill her. he still doesn't talk to you. new guy gets signed up on the team and he has all your warning bells going off. your brother seems to agree. then suddenly he's part of your little gang. your brother and him talk a lot apparently? (he doesn't talk to to you) said guy can't keep his mouth shut for 5 seconds. he is a real asshole and he knows german. you have to keep up with uni because you want to become a doctor. you kill your brother's rapist. he goes away. you still haven't talked. he comes back. the insufferable brat goes missing. he is the son of a serial killer? no, fuck that. him and your brother are a thing? are they for real? you're half convinced your brother is doing this to spite you. you're going to the championships against a team used as a front for the mafia. you just wanted to become a doctor.
Jeremy: it must be easier, liking both
Jean, who spent two books considering gouging out his eyes:
neil josten really said “maybe the real game was the friends we made along the way” and then he also immediately responded to himself with “no i want my fucking championship trophy”
Nora in TFC: I’m going to invent a fictional drug and call it something silly like “cracker dust” so I don’t have to worry about researching real drugs or effects, and you can buy it in a silly way using crackers at a restaurant’s salad bar-
Nora in TGR: Jeremy Knox Did Cocaine And Bought Enough To Share With A Whole Party.
The all for the game books are wild because you spend like an entire weekend doing nothing but reading them to the point where you forget where you are and you go through everything from abuse to pet adoption from like 300 pages that costed a dollar.
Everybody is talking about how Jean called Wymack and Rhemann his fathers, but nobody is talking about how his first reaction to that thought was to be so embarrassed at himself that he fully reached for the door handle to fling himself out of Jeremy’s car on the highway
Its been said before but shoutout to Jean Moreau pouring tap water for his ex-situationship because he was too petty to get cold water from the fridge.
Kevin Day is like “Please don’t kill yourself we have Exy to play.” And it’s worked like 2 times for some reason
