i know literally no one will see this but i’m starting a new instagram for aftg content so if you’re feeling like an idiot extra kind human today go check it out perhaps? it’s called @kevins.estranged.wife merci my esteemed comrades
jeanaaron but Aaron finds jean in the washroom in the banquet bleeding out so he helps jean with his wounds. It's a normal occurrence and when Jean is at abbys jean only allows Aaron to see his more personal wounds
Does anyone want to start a atfg gc with me on twitter 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I need more atfg moots
HIMMMM
Aaron Minyard with this han jisung fit yeah u fkn bet
unable to stop thinking about the idea of aaron being under the assumption that both andrew and nicky knew how dangerous (and possibly fatal) it was for him to ride out his withdrawal locked in the bathroom. his relationships with them being influenced by the knowledge that they'd rather him dead than an addict.
and of course andrew finding this out in one of their sessions with bee, and having to admit he didn't know. and aaron has to reevaluate everything
it's tupperwares full of shredded cheese (they all have their own container)
i'm also not projecting btw
Guys, what do we think is in that cheese drawer in the monsters' dorm? Is it shredded cheese? Do they like Babybels? Does Kevin buy some fancy cheese that he doesn't let anyone else touch? Does Kevin buy protein cheese? (Ew) Does Andrew just buy whole blocks of cheese like cheddar or Jarlsberg and just take bites out of it as a snack? (Definitely not projecting) What's in the cheese drawer? I need to know everyone's opinion on this.
fucked up hurt/comfort. the person who stabbed you tends to your wound. the person who killed your loved one helps you grieve.
the thing about neil and jean is that i very much feel like their relationship is mirrored in andrew & aaron's relationship. the 'misplaced forever partner' vs. 'the brother who was given away.'
the way neil was abused but he was KEPT, he had a mother who gave her life to fight for him vs. jean who was sold and forgotten and abandoned, stripped of his own name and his language, who had to survive riko and the master and the complicated dynamics of being perfect court but also property, who had to navigate the nest and all its horrors and hierarchy completely alone.
aaron who was abused, who was beaten and strung along and neglected, but who his mother came back for vs. andrew who was left behind, who never had a last name, who said 'please' so much at seven he can't stand the sound of the word at 21, who was willing to carve pieces from himself for the promise of a scrap of family.
andrew and aaron made a deal and hated each other for it. jean and neil were each others partners - your failure is my failure, your success is my success. andrew, who killed aaron's mother when he found out she was beating him, to hold up his end of the deal. jean, who held neil down to be carved, but who patched him up again after.
aaron, who killed his brother's rapist. and neil who did the same
Aaron Minyard🤝Neil Josten🤝"dead man dont rape"
And I love them for it
It’s so funny that Aaron has killed a man. Bro really said “I haven’t taken the Hippocratic oath yet, motherfucker” and concaved a rapist’s skull.
I Just started reading The Foxhole Court instead of doing school work. And let me tell you this
PSYCHOTIC MIDGET
Is the funniest thing I have ever heard.
fence is like aftg but if it was fencing instead of exy and if it was kevneil instead of andreil
there's always that one bitch in a movie/tv show/book who you can ship with literally anyone and it'll make perfect sense
how do i tell people that my favorite ship is literally the son of a serial killer and an alleged psychopath who killed his mom
i need more fics where neil and allison are bestfriends who bitch and gossip about other people while doing each other’s nails
I am saying this just cuz I can somewhere when I do start writing a kit among foxes uhh I will give like random chapter snipits one of those that I wanna work on is cabin fiasco (this is also linked on my masterpost) in short cabin fiasco did start off as a incorrect quote thing that I have decided does happen so it will be from elio's pov and the title is cabin fiasco (ik I'm so smart for this[I'm not])
also like I think I'd have it be late trk or in tkm (after baltimore and the fbi) that elio gets closer to bee (I refuse to say why)
tw for the thanksgiving part in trk (does this need a tw oh well it gets one anyway, but like plz comment your opinion on it as I need help with that part)
another thing this is mainly like an input thing so like legit plz comment your opinion on this do I have elio accompany the monsters to nickys parents or do I leave with abby (or even bee) because I had the thought that if I did add him I could add andrew mentioning that Luther was still hiding dr*ke being in house when there was a toddler/young kid in the house (FUCK DR*KE HE DESERVED WHAT HE GOT [I lowkey think he deserved worse]) but also like that may slightly put andrew in an already worse state so that is only a thought not a full plan
so like plz comment your opinion on the thanksgiving thing I rlly wanna know or heck even dm me
aaron: why do we need children books in the house
nicky: for incase we babysit
kevin: he doesn't even come with us to columbia andrew it's a waste of time and money
andrew(on meds): shush *He grabbed a few Disney books*
months later
elio: *sat on the floor having his hair braided reading through one of the many books*
andrew: *looks at the other three* "see books were needed"
while I wait for 15 hours for the votes to be done (I'm impatient I'm trying to be patient it's just 15 hours idc if it isn't on point its technically 15 hours) here are some facts about elio
number one: elio has curly hair, like 3A-3C curly hair depending on if its cared for
number two: elio has no concept of gender (this is due to having been raised on the run)
number three: like how neil upped his age by a year elios age is upped by a year as well (he was orginal born in 2002 the day and month are the same)
number four: between Christmas and January Allison decided to work on elios hair getting it back to its natural state (the sketch/drawing I'm doing has his natural hair so yay)
number five: elio can't swim at all he also has a fear of the water
number six: when elio was a infant (and even now because he's short for his age) neil used to cary neil on his front with one of those baby wrap things under baggy shirts ad sweaters
number seven: before baltimore, the girls had taken elio out with them and he had picked out a yellow dress with sunflowers all over it (letting this kid explore his gender which is more than I can say for all my other kid ocs in general)
number eight: elio did try to take the racoon home with the foxes when it came time to leave the cabins it took about five minutes into the drive for aaron to point out the noise from the boot
number nine: Kevin had tried to get elio into exy but it didn't go over well as elio had just started furiously signing in ASL to the point that even neil struggled to keep up
number ten: the monsters dorm room cupboards have at least about 2 massive tubs of strawberry milk (nesquik cuz I think that was the cheapest at the time, it's basically just the cheapest one okay I'm not good at prices)
both of theses fics made me wanna cry they are both so beautifully written.
@minyard-05 your telepathy au is making me wanna sob because now all I can think of is every damn moment in those books like the final game for example aaron just hearing Andrews thoughts while he's running to get to Neil
hey if you read & liked my fic Talk To Me, you HAVE to read this incredible addition by @sunriseabram it's amazing <33333
guys guys so like silly thought but au idea so we all know barbie as the princess and the pauper right so there's two ways this au can go
obviously we have the most common that everyone thinks this au could go with Erika being Andrew and Anneliese being Aaron, which would most likely have Julian bing Katelyn and then Dominick being Neil and obviously Anneliese's mother being Nicky instead of tilda and madame carp being idk someone (idk if cass would make sense for that) don't ask me about the cats the cats could very much just be the cats in the movie just changed for the au obviously Bertie would obviously be Renee, nick and nack could be uhh raven players ig, now preminger who to have him be idk riko but that wouldn't make any sense so
the second way this au could go is Erika being Neil and Anneliese being Katelyn yes playing into the massive headcanon that she and he look alike, and I was thinking what if I was to elio be in this au and then it hit me Wolfie could be elio like instead of him being a cat he could be elio (still Neil's kid cuz oh well fuck the movie canon) Dominick would obviously be Andrew and Julian would be Aaron, the Queen would be Katlyns mother, I'm gonna have Bertie be Allison or heck maybe even seth
do you guys see where I'm going with this, like idk if this like all the other royal au things but like it'd be fun as hell to write
this is legit so fucking good, is now one of my top 3 fics about the trial, the part where Andrew says that wymack looks like Steven fucking hurt the whole thing hurt actually
Most of the Foxes still think Andrew is a monster, or a sociopath, but Neil knows better. He knows that Andrew cares deeply about a handful of people but struggles more than he will ever admit with that fact.
The thing is, despite Andrew’s commitment to apathy and to denying that he cares about anything, he is often self-sacrificing in his efforts to protect the people he cares about. As Aaron’s trial approaches, Neil gets the sick feeling that Andrew’s self-sacrificing streak is going too far.
why why do you like doing this, this is so fucking good tho like oml I can't form words
hey do you ever wonder if sometime during his degree aaron took a class about drugs and drug addictions and found out that quitting cold the way he did from the amount of drugs he was on could've killed him. do you ever wonder if andrew knew. do you ever wonder if there's a different timeline where aaron didn't survive the bathroom
I don't need to think of this, I don't need to
hey hold on a sec. we talk about what baltimore was like for kevin, neil, andrew, but can we talk about wymack for a second. Can we just.
the year before the twins and nicky signed at psu, two of wymack's foxes, ian and kirk, died in a car crash.
the next year, kevin day broke his hand and went to wymack, the only person he thought would keep him safe.
the year after that, seth gordon, the only surving member of wymack's original lineup, overdosed after he was so nearly clean, and it almost destroyed allison.
months later, andrew was attacked in columbia and committed to easthaven. aaron killed someone. andrew was gone and the others came back shattered.
then neil claims to go home for the holidays, they don't hear from him all of christmas break, and on new years, neil calls him and asks wymack to pick him up from the airport. he's there instantly and god, he looks half-dead. neil sees the 4 tattoo and tries to cut it off his face. all he can say is that he didn't sign to the ravens.
then there's the blood in the locker room. wymack can't push away the feeling that something's getting closer, something is coming to hurt his foxes and there's nothing he can do to stop it.
then. the game at binghamton. neil looks on edge but wymack doesn't ask what's wrong. neil and andrew are above his paygrade. then the riot. he can't see any of his kids in the crush. he finally pulls them all out, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight–
neil's gone. neil's gone and they can't find him. andrew can't find him. neil got taken by someone. what was that like for david wymack? did it feel too familiar? did he look at his kids and think not again, i didn't lose another one again. does it ever scare him. does it terrify him. when aaron came back from the police station in columbia, twenty four hours in holding and he couldn't look wymack in the eye, did he think what if i can't save these kids? when andrew was lying in a hospital bed, too drugged to react, did he think what if i can't give them their second chance? when neil grabbed that knife, when he fell to pieces on wymack's kitchen floor, when he came back to them in baltimore, bloody and broken, did wymack think why am i always too late?
feel free to send in asks for this if you wish 2

Your AFTG OC?
Your take on a new AFTG book (focused on an existing character)
Canon divergence time! What would your fresh take on an aftg character be (i.e Raven Neil, Vixen Allison?)
so the new aftg oc is Neil's younger sibling they were about 2 years old when Mary took neil and them on the run (I say about 2 because neil was 10 when he and his mom went on the run in 98 and the unnamed oc (finding names is so fucking hard) was born somewhere between 96 and 97 so yeah, so as of the start of tfc the oc would be about 9-10 and then in tkm would be about 10-11 if that makes sense to people (I'm legit reading on timelines so that this makes sense from a fic point of view and like Mary died at 38 putting neil at 17 and the oc at like 8-9 depending on what month I have this kid born, I do have a drawing already done using a base/reference from mellon_soup so I will post that after I find a name for this kid, if you lot wanna give name recs you can
insert me playing the audio books instead of actually getting the kindle I have all the books on to read them because I cba to on 2x speed anyways.
WELCOME TO CASEY HART INFO TIME!!! WOOO!
so caseys story happens like after tkm probably like late 2007 early 2008, he is about 9-11 years old so he was roughly born in 97-98 due to him being born in mid november, uhhh timeline shit but oh well.
casey was an only kid but he did have an older cousin, casey's home life wasn't the best (cuz yk fox and all) uhhh other stuff ummm, right why casey ran intl the foxes and what state was he in to the point it worried probably a few of them, the state our little casey was in was bad, he had bruises,blood stains this is because of something I am withholding cuz I'm a bitch and I don't give away all my secrets.
that's it for the small info for now
again PREACH THE TRUTH BAMBAM
like he was protecting his brother not to mention she was abusive and got Aaron hooked on drugs
STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP SAYING THAT ANDREW KILLING HIS MOM WAS A "BAD THING" HE DID!!!! IT WAS NOTTTTTTTT!!!!! YOU GUYS I'M SO SICK OF ITTT
so i forgot aaron grew up in california until he was thirteen so it stands to reason that him and andrew sound vaguely similar but i still imagine aaron to have that little southern twang about him because tilda is still from south carolina? they still grew up im completely different environments and i really dont see them sounding the same
something that really bugs me about aftg is when the twinyards switch places. but. they grew up on opposite ends of the country. they have different accents!!! andrew grew up in CALIFORNIA and aaron grew up in SOUTH CAROLINA.
like are they just really good at accents? does andrew put a little southern twang into his voice? does aaron put in hours trying to figure out andrews accent just to indulge andrews whims??? like thats so cute? why did they ever try to convince us they dont care about each other
