I think we as a community don't recognize how funny the first confrontation scene in The Foxhole Court is. Like we talk about how absolutely confused Kevin must have been and how the sudden language shift was wild and how Aaron and Nicky are just O.O over the quiet new kid losing his shit.
But Neil runs into the room (picking the lock with ease, mind you) guns blazing, threatens Kevin, calls him a slur and a "deadweight has-been", then turns and fucking runs. Like... doesn't even put up a pretense of a physical fight, just books it and slams the door closed like that's going to make a difference. The mental image of Neil Josten sprinting out the room like a thirteen year old who just pissed off his older sibling and is about to employ the kicking method is too good for us not to recognize.
Andrew for sure looked him up and down, gave a disappointed groan, and warned him he wasnt gonna be seen in public with him wearing that
At the end he in fact was seen in public with Neil wearing that (Neil refused to change, they had a silent battle, at the end they made some sort of deal. Now Neil is at 150%)
Neil the type of guy to wear crocs
And he has chemestry with the four of them, and has already flirted (even without noticing ) with the four of them
its truly poetry that kevin “it’s better to be straight” day only has 4 friends and both pairs of them are gay and fucking each other
Ex raven Neil would be a menace for the jerejean relationship. Jeremy thinks he's scary now? Give Neil years of attachment to Jean as his one and only lifeline and you'll learn what terror really means. He doesn't even like Jean like that (definitely obsessed with that one foxes goalkeeper) but he WILL threaten anyone who even tries. He thinks it's funny. Jean is so used to it he just sighs and moves on. Jeremy ends up playing matchmaker to andreil JUST to get Neil out of his life because God is it scary to wake up and see blue eyes just staring at you. Mind you Neil is already on the foxes lineup. How in god's green earth he has enough time to show for dinner once a week Jeremy will never understand. He locks eyes with Andrew and they're both overcome by a neuro telepathical bond of suffering for whatever the hell that is. Last year it was as bad (for Andrew, at least) because Jean was still in the nest and Neil couldn't just come and go there, but now he can and does.
Jeremy is brave and all but having the known son of a Mafia boss in his face telling him very clearly that jean is first and foremost his best friend? Yeah no I would run for the hills Jeremy you stubborn fool that's a RED flag.
Bonus points if both Jean and Neil think this is Neil behaving. Jean is actually pleasantly surprised by how calm Neil is being.
something about jean having to live under the ground in the nest for so long but the people he loves are from the sky
renee is a rainbow. kevin is a star. jeremy is the sun.
renee finds out about the fire and texts jean that she’s giving the foxes his new address so they can send him postcards, pictures, new things to fill their new home
kevin sends a couple of postcards, like he always used to
neil takes the absolute WORST photos of the team and sends them jean’s way. he can’t help but laugh at them, blurry, out of focus, ridiculous moments
renee keeps texting him, of course, but she’ll also send him the occasional artistic photo of the open sky, a flower in bloom
wymack sends him a terse letter telling him to contact him if jean needs anything
and then jean gets this ugly, dollar-store card that has a simple ‘fuck you, moreau’ scrawled in messy handwriting on the back, and he thinks it’s just another attack from one of the ravens or their fans until he sees the signature at the bottom: ex-brisket lungs
he frames it.
I come back to this bit all the time for a laugh because it’s gotta be up there in the top Neil Misunderstanding The Situation moments. yeah man. faint inconvenience I’m sure
Just yes, absolutely just yes
This quote was too Agathario to pass up 🩸
neil "negligent narrator" josten 🤝 jeremy "avoidant narrator" knox
This feels like the perfect place to bring a foldable chair, some blankets and a book
I literally could spend hours like this
Downstream
"At two seconds, Kevin scored" SCREAMING ON MY PILLOW. Thats. My. Man.
(I've read this game before, still screaming on my pillow)
