I Know For A Fact That I've Made That One Promise On Like The 26th Of August That I Would Get Elio Art

so I'm on the final book woooo we love this honestly doing lore stuff for ocs or just scrolling on my phone while listening to the audio books is so much more easier than picking up the fucking kindle to complete my reread when im already down two of the books anyway, the character development the relationships is just so lovely to hear again

"I warned not to put a leash on me"

"I didn't" neil said "you put that leash on yourself when you told me to stay no matter what, don't be mad at me just because I was smart enough to pick up the other end of it"

hell yeah one of the best interactions in my opinion I'm looking so forward to baltimore I can't wait for it man "I wanna see you lose control." oof that was so great the back and forth those to have is just amazing.

alright its his birthday woooo locker room mess woop woop, let's go (low-key I can do the happy 19th birthday junior in December because I'm 19 then) BLOOD SPLATTER (poor boy he doesn't deserve this) God damn that sucks him going through a slight panic is just so great like it sucks.

"HAAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY JUNIOR!" LETS FUCKING GO HECK YEAH well oh well way to go shut down your panic all you want "carrie stunt double" only one of matts best lines in this books love you for that dude

the foxes all at the cabins outside:

kevin: he's perfect age to start playing exy

andrew: *keeping an eye on elio* ...

the foxes...

elio: *comes running over holding something* mommy I've found a racoon can we keep it

neil: sur- YOU WANT TO KEEP A FUCKING WHAT

GIYS HELP DO I AMMKE A AFTG KID OC LIKE JUST SOME KID WHO THE FOXES TAKE IN AND THEN THE MONSTERS + KATELYN BASICALLY BECOME THE KIDS PARENT GROUP LIKE I ALREADY HAVE AN IDEA OF IT AND STUFF

I don't know if I should make it true tho help

me when I say it'll all be out by Friday uhhh so it's now 12 minutes into Saturday uhhh I swear it will be out in probably the meat 2 hours or like three I'm doing my best I'm nearly done with the character sheet I just have to write some of elios lore out ad then actually come up with a name for said fic but I swear it will be out I swear giys I'm not lying (unless I pass out due to cramps but oh well)

one of the best things about having aftg books on kindle is when it comes to writing oc lore I can just grab the kindle go to the books and quickly scan through for the information I need (I say this as I need fo get the kindle without having my mum be mad that I'm stealing it again, I also have to read ad or listen to tsc so woooo reasons) but yeah elio lore will drop with his character desgin soon probably later tonight, or later tomorrow or on Friday idk yet his lore has changed alot to what it used to be so like neil may or may not be trans and may or may not be the parent who cares at this point (its my I'm who cares so me trying to figure out a way to actively have it make sense that elio does have a legal birth certificate where his surename is wesninski)

so uhh quick update on the aftg oc his name is elio uhh his lore has changed since I last spoke about him ummm his character design is getting re done because I fucking hate what I did like not really it's just the hair that's getting edited uhh I am doing like one with a base/ref of neil holding baby elio soo ill post that when it's done so like as for elios lore uhh his age has changed not that much just the fact that during tfc he's 6-7 and than from trk and onwards he's 7-8 so its a year/two younger so he was bron like either right after Mary and neil ran or just like a month or two before which I'm going with the month or two before they ran so yeah

honestly tho they so would like yes they have a dysfunctional family but they care about each other they'd do a lot for each other, and like they want me to believe that show aemond is aemond from the book like I'm sorry but that is two diffrent people so glad the shows it's own canon and the books are their own canon

Just thinking about how book Alicent and Aemond react to the way their show version treat Aegon kill me 😂

Alicent: what's this bitch is doing to my sweet son? Oh no–

*Show Alicent slap Aegon*

Alicent:...

Aegon: mother? Are you ok–

Alicent: *throw the remote and break the TV*

Alicent: *hugs Aegon tightly, almost suffocating him*

Aegon: M-Mother, can't breathe–

Alicent: Shh, it's ok now, my love. Mother loves you, darling. No more nasty TV for you.

Aemond: what is happening? W-wait don't tell me...

*show Aemond trying to kill Aegon*

Aemond: *face go blank* my king?...

Aegon: hm?

Aemond: forgive me...

Aegon: oh come on it's just a stupid show no need–

Aemond: not that, I'm apologizing for what I'm about to do...

Aemond: *pull his sword out and put it on his own neck*

Aegon: wha... WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!

Aemond: PLEASE DON'T TRY TO STOP ME–

Aemond: *suddenly fall to the ground*

Aegon: *look back up and see Daeron standing there with a flowerpot in his hand*

Daeron: you're welcome.

I get this so fucking much like what does the word mean I'm nearly the age neil nearly got killed at like I don't wanna turn 19 no thanks I don't wanna be the same age as jean

I've been having an existential crisis lately. Because I realised I first read aftg when I was 14 and now I'm Neil's age in the series. What the fuck, what do you mean I will be older than them?

that's so damn weird like are they on about the same andrew like the one who didn't trust neil at all and thought he was a fucking mole like that andrew

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

I second this notion like coming from someone who watched American tv shows growing up in the UK I have been asked if I was actually American because my accent is mixed between them both

neil's accent is going to be a bit of a weird combination due to his mother being british, him being primarily raised by her, but also being born and (mostly) raised in the US, factored in with all the other places he would've had to blend in to on the run. so naturally his accent will shift slightly to fit whatever language he's speaking, as it does with most multilingual people, but when he's speaking english he's going to have a weird intersection of american/british. now won't be all that noticeable most of the time but i think it would come out on occasion possibly whilst drunk or pissed off about something. ergo i present neil josten yelling "you'd fucking like that, wouldnt you?" at somebody on the court and like half of the team just turn and stare at him for a minute because what the fuck was that
