a kevjean edit to irish orpheus? more likely than you’d think
first ever edit, pretty fitting that it’s kevin day-related tbh
Then proceeds to say he hates Kevin
I love them both so much 🥺🥺🥺
Their interactions make me wanna hug my pillow, crawl in fetal position and just stay there forever. At the same time I wanna punch a wall, bc how could Riko and Tetsuji hurt so much those two beatifull souls and also make them hurt each other just to survive
I swear, I cant
the way jean speaks about and interacts with kevin is so… *gestures vaguely*
“he has earned the right to be arrogant” SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
“stupid, beautiful kevin” oh! ok i didn’t need my heart anyway
“you are supposed to be better than this” “you have always known what i am” well that’s great for you two! meanwhile i am clawing at the walls of my enclosure
“unspoken: you cannot refuse me” hit like a blow to the head tbh
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
wait— i resisted the instinct and i get it. jean trying over and over again to save kevin and failing each time but unable to stop himself because what else would he do? he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he stopped trying. maybe it’ll be different this time. maybe he will finally outsmart it.
especially if this was the first and last time kevin told jean he loved him, knowing that it was reciprocal would make jean try even harder even though he knows it’s pointless
"You need to break the time loop. Stop trying to save me. I love you."

Might do a fem KevJean fanfic with the beautiful fanart in here as inspiration...
Everytime I see more Kevin or KevJean content in here, more bright my day becomes.
see, the intriguing thing about kevjean is how insistent they both are that they aren't friends. they don't think anything is salvageable, that their friendship is in ruins because of what riko did and because of his ghost haunting them, but the way they treat each other is so explicitly tender that all their arguments fall flat.
it's about constantly reaching for the others hand.
everytime they are together their hands are reaching out to each other like anchors. in tsc this was such a sharp turn from kevin's behavior with the other characters because it was gentleness the likes of which we've only had glimpses of. in tgr, it was like they couldn't help themselves - immediately kevin took hold of jean's coffee mug, grabbed his wrist when helping him dress, jean teaching him how to cook, kevin taking jean's hand during the interview, jean stopping kevin's hand when he reached for more vodka.
it's about the way they talk to each other like they don't with anyone else.
"you've always known what i am." and "i can still hear him. can you?" and kevin's desperate "even with me?" when jean refused to talk about riko. its "california agrees with you." and "stay with me." and "you like the sound of your own voice too much to give this up." and "did you even read any of them or were you too busy fawning over his phot-" and "i will break it over your head" when kevin reached for more vodka.
it's the things they do for each other.
kevin's protective streak is uncommon enough that the interviewer chose to point it out. and kevin's only response was to put jean on the same level where people had previously been putting riko. "jean is the only brother i have left." that hurt jean because that's not how he feels about kevin, but in the long run that statement could work wonders for his reputation. kevin isn't baseless with the things he says, that was definitely calculated. even the "hannah. that is enough." was a harsher personality than he's ever shown the cameras. he sure kept his promise to jeremy there.
the way kevin fidgeted with the yellow wristband and turned over the postcards he'd given jean once only to see them destroyed. and then not hesitating to send another one so jean can have this at least (even though it was burnt away, he can always send more) he gave jeremy answers but stopped just short of exposing jean's secrets...the foxes see such cutthroat aggression from him because they're his teammates but in front of jeremy and jean it's so wonderful to see how much kevin truly cares.
and from jean's side it's the begrudging but deliberate care he shows kevin. god help him, he can't even hide it for a second because even jeremy noticed. it's like he tries to defy kevin but then all kevin has to do is ask and he shall receive. and the man knows it! but jean (and arguably neil) are the only ones who lash out when kevin self-destructs because "you're supposed to better than this." they want him to act like the pillar they've based their whole life around and seeing him in ruins is unnerving. the anger jean felt when he found out kevin was chugging vodka, the fight that ensued when they were both on edge but more importantly the easy way they moved past it.
it's inevitable that they say and do things that drive the other insane, but when it comes to, as jean put it, "unsubtle and idiotic devotion" they're always there for each other.
but they're not friends, no. and if you call them that they'll deny it till they're blue. but then again, their hands will always reach for each other in their own angered, careful, terrified or concerned manner.
this got super long but i enjoy their dynamic so much. i feel insane because this is how best friends who are deeply familiar treat each other; teasing jean about jeremy, pinching jean to clear his head, fixing his shirt for him and jean elbowing kevin when he wants answers and filling kevin's glass with tap water instead of filtered water out of annoyance. it's reminding me of one part of "using you" by mars argo:
Be careful that Riko isn't looking...
let's talk about how kevin and andrew's love languages are gift giving. kevin, going on his trips outside of the nest and buying little souvenirs for jean, taking neil to get his first heavy racquet, andrew buying little figurines for betsy, giving neil his keys, buying neil his outfits, buying neil his armbands...
the way any combination between neil, andrew, jean and kevin works is so funny you can pair any of them or all of them it just works
i think one of my favorite things about aftg is how it so subtly shows such a deep level of affection through languages. like kevin learning french for jean even though it is a dangerous thing to do at the nest and neil and andrew learning a new language together post tkm and one of the first things jeremy asks jean being to teach him french. i want to know who you are in your mother language, i want to speak to you in a language that no one but us understands, i want to understand the language that you dream in
in an universe where neil ended up being a raven, i wonder if after escaping the nest he and jean could ever remain close, or they would be doomed to the same fate as kevjean, to love and care so much about each other but to have a history so complex and horrifying that they can't ever actually be friends anymore
so infuriating how kevjean is so doomed by the narrative... they can never be together... the love is there... but so is the history
Hear me out, but because i liked a boy by Sabrina Carpenter is a Jean Moreau song, and the boy in question is Kevin Day
illicit affairs is SUCH a Kevjean song. And that’s the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings and longing stares? You CANNOT tell me that this was not Jean’s perspective of Kevin at the Nest. So you leave no trace behind, like you don’t even exist?? Not Jean trying to disappear into the background, to be so quiet and insignificant that the Ravens wouldn’t even notice him. Don’t call me kid? Don’t call me baby?? Look at this idiotic fool that you’ve made me??? You taught me a secret language that I can’t speak with anyone else???? The fucking French. For you I would ruin myself a million little times??? Kevin asking Jean to distract Riko. “Unspoken: You cannot refuse me” FUCK SOMEONE SEDATE ME
Okay but Down Bad by Taylor Swift is a kevjean song…
Okay, but Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens is so kevjean coded.
I love listening to the most devastating songs ever and being like ‘wow this is so Kevjean coded 💖✨’
Just found this in my drafts and what the fuck?? Did I do this just to hurt myself??
I mean if I were Jeremy and two 6-foot-tall, dark-haired guys with PTSD tried to get into my pants I’d fold too
