PREACH BAMBAM
like I can get how the line can get taken out of context but like it was the 2000s from what I remember from cousins I've had tell me it wasn't all that great for lgbtq+ people, plus what Kevin said does make sense from the state of it being a sport team and a college 1 thingy at that as well as the fact that they'd be in the public eye and under scrutiny for things like ik we don't fully know how the exy fans reacted to Neil going for riko but like we can just tell that from what the raven fans did kost likely no one liked him.
and like "it's easier to remain heterosexual" the whole wording of that is like to me he doesn't care what you do with other people about your personal relationships however going I the public eye it would be easy to play off being straight like going with paparazzi today they are invasive with what they do to people in the public eye like imagine the backlash from homophobic people if they find out one of their favourite footballers/soccer players are gay it wouldn't go down well, so Kevin was being very caring on suggesting it he wasn't demanding that neil remain straight Kevin couldn't really care less about Neil's swing situation he wasn't really raised to care relationships anyway If I remember correctly so yeah.
Kevin was being a good teammate and giving a suggestion that he believes/believed (irk if it changed) would help neil in the long run plus he says this like before finding out who neil is (if I recall correctly) so he was saying it while also having hopes that neil would go pro
biggest pet peeve rn is people taking "it's easier to remain heterosexual" entirely out of context. no, Kevin was not on his high horse about the fact that he's straight. no, he was not telling Neil that being gay is wrong. i am holding you so gently by the shoulders.
"you know better than anyone how prejudiced people can be" (to nicky) literally said not 2 seconds after the first line
he's just looking out for him cuz he knows that his career is gonna be that much harder if he dates a man like i don't-
i always thought that too because Nathan wasn't doing anything that would have him to have to give up nathaniel as a way to get out of debt and like we know due to the ec and canon that Kevin, riko, and neil had all seen someone cut up in one of the towers at edger Allen so it's not far fetched to think that neil would have still been trained by his father in the towers and got all the other training via being perfect court because why would kendo even allow riko to break neil in the same ways he broke Kevin and jean it doesn't make sense if neil is to take after his father
okay my personal thought and assumption has always been that Neil would have had a totally different Nest experience than Kevin or Jean did. I had always assumed that he wasn’t getting sold off to the Moriyamas to repay a debt but that he was getting placed in an environment to be groomed into Nathan 2.0, for when Ichirou took over. Like the violence of the nest to train him and isolation from his parents so he had only loyalty to the Moriyamas. So that eventually when Kengo died and Ichirou took over there was a replacement for Nathan ready and (hopefully) willing to go
Aaron would probably be so glad but also like imagine the heartbreak that man would have felt for his brother
can you imagine if aaron and katelyn fostered though
me with dias in we'll be fine eventually who is meant to be very smart but I'm not a smart person so
does anyone else suffer from the aftg effect? i remembers the moment i finished tkm and I was looking into the air thinking "nothing its ever gonna top these books", like, yeah, after aftg I read more books, but i wasnt able to connect as hard as i connected with the Foxes; and it never matters how long i stay away from the books bc im busy with my life, every single time i go back to them without fail, to the way too sweet andreil fanfics, to the beautiful fanarts, to this cursed fandom that always likes to suffer for some reason, they always drag me back. it never fails to impress me how much these silly little books mean so much for me and for many people too, and thats the aftg effect, the feeling of knowing ur fucked bc theres no way ur going to get over the books in this lifetime or the next one, once u start liking the characters, theres no way back.

PREACH
I thought that every knew this, like how does anyone take that as flirting who in their right mind would see that as flirting
I've said it before and I'll say it again but Andrew going after Nicky for his rape jokes towards Neil was a response to his trauma not that he thought Neil was a babe
the fuck is the heel its a goddamn topper like its on the top of both sides of the rest of the bread, like its called a topper (idk if this is a British thing actually it may be a British thing) But like WHO THE FUCK CALLS IT THE CRUST, THE CRUST IS THE STUFF ON THE PUTSIDE OF A BREAD SLICE NOT THE TOPPER (I'm sorry I shouldn't yell in caps)
hei, i just saw your post about you oc i think, elio
the thing is my name is elio and i was so confused for a moment and thought for the first few lines but then i realised it was not a stalker letter 😭
it sound great tho continue pls
omg I don't think I've like met or spoken to someone one with the name elio before, I'm glad you like my oc anon (I don't know if I'm allowed to find this funny) elio is very pretty name.
the whole entire reason on how elio got his name is because of the baby bump website I use it all the time when getting names for ocs.
