It’s so important to me that it was Renee who got Jean out of the Nest - she was given a second chance at life by Stephanie so she offered Jean a second chance at life
Why do I feel like nobody else is as on board with Zane Reacher hate as I am
You know when you’re writing about your ocs and you headcanon them and then you’re like… wait, I create canon
I need everyone to have a crush on Jean at some point over the Sunshine Court trilogy, whether it’s a serious crush or not, and I need it to make Jeremy unbearably jealous
What if the Trojan’s first red card is in their first match in the new season against the Ravens? Their first match against the Ravens with Jean. And the Ravens spend the entire time being mean to Jean, saying horrific things, trying to injure him and bringing up his time at the Nest and - of course - the rumours. But Jean doesn’t retaliate the entire time. He doesn’t fight back or respond, just keeps on playing the game. But Jeremy sees the entire match that the Ravens are not leaving Jean alone and it angers him. And then Zane just makes one more snide little comment and Jeremy just fucking punches Zane. They get into a fight, which Jeremy is very much winning, and Zane starts screaming and pleading for Jean to tell Jeremy to stop. But Jean doesn’t, because why should he? Jean must have screamed and pleaded for Zane to stop Grayson, but he didn’t. He laid on his bed while it happened and pretended like it wasn’t happening. Jean does the same to Zane as he pleads for Jean to make Jeremy stop. He ignores him.
I need to know more about Raven Andrew!! He haunts my narrative.
How would he have coped in the Nest? Assuming he was medicated at the time he joined the Ravens, I assume he wouldn’t have taken it all that seriously. He would’ve had to have it beat into him by Riko and Tetsuji, but I can’t see any of it actually sticking with him until Riko and Tetsuji start hurting other for his mistakes or misgivings. Watching people like Nathaniel (Neil), Jean or Kevin have to suffer for what he was doing would’ve messed with Andrew since, as we see in the series, he just wants to protect everyone around him, but what would his reaction to that have been?
Joining the Ravens would have fucked up his relationship with Aaron and Nicky beyond repair. There is no way Riko and Tetsuji would’ve let him communicate with them (maybe holding it over his head as a punishment for him acting out??) and he would’ve just have to live with not knowing how they were doing. For years, he didn’t know Aaron and Nicky existed and then, finally, he learnt about them and he had them, and their relationships were by no means perfect or even anywhere close to perfect but he knew they existed. I think having Aaron and Nicky for him so late in life only to have them torn away again would’ve messed with him.
In the series, while on his medication during the first two books, Andrew comes off of his medication for their games. Would he be able to do this at the Nest for games? Would his medication be withheld from him at other time, perhaps another punishment for acting out? If he was acting out, would Riko and Tetsuji have kept his medication from him, to see him have to go through those awful withdrawal symptoms? How long could Andrew have gone without his medication until he caved and did whatever they wanted him to do as long as he got his medication back? He hates his medications of course but the withdrawal symptoms are worse.
And one final thing, even if it’s not a behavioural thing, I want to talk about the numbers. Nora said if Andrew was a Raven he would’ve been number seven. It’s such a symbolic number for him. Seven as in the age he was the first time he was assaulted. Seven as in the age where he had to say the word ‘please’ so much, possibly reflecting how his time with the Ravens would’ve went. Then of course we have the way all the numbers add up. Andrew’s Raven number (7) and Andrew’s Fox number (3) would add up to make Neil’s Fox number (10). Andrew’s Raven number (7) and Nathaniel’s Raven number (3) add up to also make Neil’s Fox number (10). Even in universes where they don’t end up together, the traces of what could’ve been (and what was in the universe that we got in the books) still find their way into the story.
I just need more information about Raven Andrew and I don’t know what I’m meant to do to get it!!
Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about Kayleigh Day and what could’ve been if she’d lived
Neil and Andrew who? I only know Zari from Duolingo
The fact that Kevin was just there the entire time makes the ‘That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t blow you’ scene a lot funnier
I'm just a girl who writes and reads and obsesses over things in a way that is not healthy!!She/they :D
