Hey so it's actually batshit crazy that the upperclassmen (other than Renee probably) still think that Andrew is the crazy/fucked up one in the relationship when this was Neil's internal monologue.
Like he's really sat in the back of a COP CAR, covered head to toe in bandages due to the FRESH TORTURE WOUNDS he's currently sporting, and he's just destressing by daydreaming about his father's death THAT HE WITNISSED AND WAS FUCKING LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY ABOUT AFTERWARDS.
headcanon that andrew is great with kids. they absolutely love him and no one fucking knows why. the first time the foxes notice is at aaron and katelyn’s housewarming party, when their two year old toddler walks up to andrew on shaky legs, clings to the material of his pants and goes, “uncle andrew!” and the foxes (minus neil) all hold their breath when andrew bends down and picks them up like it’s all he does every day, with a blank face. and no one can pretend that the kid just confused andrew and aaron, because they follow andrew around for the rest of the day, literally glued to his shoes and fascinated by everything he does, screaming “uncle andrew!”
and everyone is like ‘okay, so maybe it’s a one time thing and because andrew looks like the kid’s father’, until the same thing happens with erik and nicky’s adopted kid and later with kevin and thea’s daughter
how did Richard casually mention doing cocaine in a burger king parking lot and then ONE LINE LATER call Judy a 'senseless cokehead'
my dude drop the superiority complex
Who's handling who in this relationship anyway??

i love that the zombie apocalypse conversation appears so often in fics like the foundation of andrew and neil’s relationship is based on them knowing each others survival plan
which is funny because in the book neil actually doesn’t actually contribute to the conversation it’s a convo between renee and andrew that neil gets fixated on (and then quotes back to andrew later in the book)
and do u know what. i love it, because that conversation is like a perfect demonstration of their characters - renee, concentrating on creating shelter for survivors, andrew concentrating on keeping his group protected, and neil, thinking that he’d probably cut and run and lamenting that fact UNTIL he realises he would want to go back for andrew. that conversation that neil isn’t even eally part of sets up perfect proof of neil’s character development even in the final book - i mean, the fact that neil says ‘chances were it would be instinctive to abandon all of them’ which he acknowledges as an ‘ugly truth’ already displays a change in his character since the first book - because in that one, he has no qualms about leaving, is prepared to do so as soon as necessary. but then the conversation comes back and neil says he ‘doesn’t want to be that person anymore’ he ‘wants to go back’ for andrew. and just. isn’t that beautiful.
so yes, every time the zombie apocalypse comes up in the most random places in fics i eat it up so hard. cause like, what a perfect hypothetical for them to talk about for 1 - because both of them spend most of their life having to learn to survive in different ways, and so their different approaches to the situation is a great way to demonstrate their different characterisations and show how their traumatic experiences shape the way they react to new dangerous situations - and 2 - because we can starkly see the change in neil when he realises he wouldn’t be able to just leave.
film adaptations of classic literature should be low budget and the actors should be a bunch of people i’ve never seen and will never see again. this or die
my theory for what henry whispered to camilla is "kitten, i'll be honest. daddy's about to kill himself"
“ronan’s second secret was adam parrish.”
these books need to come with a warning label
