Jean Moreau And Kevin Day Were Each Others’ First Loves

halcyon days

no but seriously, has anyone ever got over the raven cycle?

lets be honest here, no matter how many compliments kevin has gotten in his life, he never ever gets used to them, especially if they’re about anything other than exy or his looks. anytime anyone compliments how smart he is or says something nice about his outfit or personality or whatever, he turns as red as a goddamn tomato and you know it. and the cutest thing is he’d like ?? try to hide it ??? but he’s blushing. i know it you know it oprah winfrey knows it obama knows it the aliens know it. we all know it.

The real unsung hero in AFTG was Nickys high school teacher who saw how depressed he was becoming and decided that he needed to be as far away from his parents as he could get.

Reblog if you’re bisexual, support bisexual people or are actually a bunch of tiny velociraptors in a human suit

GOD why do people always overlook the way Kevin cared for Neil and Andrew like yes he had ONE obsession and ONE goal in the world but ???? He still had space in his heart for more!!!

Need I remind you that Kevin was willing to teach Neil every single night even though he knew Neil planned to die at the end of the year? That he told Neil he’d watch him if he wanted to drink so that he could let go for a while? That he believed in Neil’s talent 100% and wanted him to have a bright future?

Need I remind you how it was Kevin who first showed Andrew he was good for something? Who made him have the tiniest bit of hope that life wasn’t going to be a never-ending cycle of “waking up, wanting to die, going to sleep, waking up again”? That it was Kevin who put his life, his career, his survival on Andrew’s hand with almost-blind trust? Who gave Andrew purpose?

Kevin day cares SO. MUCH. And yes, Exy was going to be his #1 priority always, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t care about anything or anyone else. He cared about Andrew and he cared about Neil and they cared about him too. STOP OVERLOOKING THAT.

kevin day needs a LISCENCE for those big beautiful green eyes. he turns those things on and NO ONE is safe. 🥺 jean will you teach me french 🥺 riko can we major in history 🥺 coach can we recruit this random player from arizona 🥺 andrew will you drive me to the court every night 🥺 neil will u give me your game 🥺 jeremy can my very controversial friend be on your team 🥺

homez18 replied to your post “Bravo to your Katsuki is not allowed to be weak (if he is he dies)…”

Eh. The slidhe villain attack made sense considering there legit wasmt anything those heroes could have done to save him. Except for all Might who didn’t want to exert himself until another kid was about to die

List of things the 6+ adult fully fledged pro-heroes could’ve done in the 10-30 minutes they were fucking around while a 14 year old was being murdered in front of them:

Kamui Woods grabs Katsuki by the wrists (so he can’t explode his way out), Backdraft blasts the sludge villain off with bursts of water. It wouldn’t have been perfect, but it could’ve seriously helped. Especially when he’s already been fighting for ages and they don’t have any better options.

Literally any of the heroes could’ve done what Deku did, but on a much larger and more effective scale. They could’ve attacked the eyes of the sludge villain and used their damn hands to scoop as much of the guy off as possible. Again, might not work perfectly, but better than standing there and not doing fucking anything while a 14 year old is fighting for his life.

Mt. Lady said she couldn’t help because it was ‘a single lane road’ and she couldn’t get down it. Fucking fine, have literally any one of the assholes standing around doing nothing move Katsuki or tell Katsuki to move out into the wide open space next to her so she can help! She could very easily scrape large parts of the sludge villain off of Katsuki, with minimal risk to her since she’s too large for the sludge villain to take over.

Death Arms could’ve fucking tried knocking the sludge villain off. Maybe he can’t do all of it like All-Might could, but again, anything is better than nothing and could be the difference between life or death if it buys Katsuki enough time for someone else to get there.

Even barring all the physical actions the heroes could’ve taken, at bare fucking minimum, they could’ve at least tried to talk to Katsuki. He could hear them. They could’ve offered him reassurance / advice / let him know help was on the way. Literally anything but leaving him all on his own.

Deku by all means shouldn’t have gotten involved, as he was a child and it was not his job to try to save Katsuki. That being said, he still did more to save him than literally any of the non-All-Might heroes on the scene.

Speaking of All-Might, while I understand he has his limits on what he can do, he also started this entire damn thing. The Sludge Villain was just stealing a purse, which isn’t great but isn’t life threatening, when All-Might decided to go after him. He escalated the situation, took responsibility for it despite knowing he was near his limits, and then fucked up. While Izuku shouldn’t have grabbed onto him / startled him, All-Might also totally failed to keep track of the villain he’d apprehended. He started this entire thing, and Katsuki was literally a 14 year old about to die in front of him because of it. That should’ve been enough for him to risk doing something on it’s own.

I also promise you if it’d been literally any other 14 year old (ie, just like we saw with Izuku) All-Might wouldn’t have hesitated to save them.

Can you imagine All-Might standing there while a 14 year old Kirishima was being strangled to death in front of him? What about a 14 year old Mina? Even if Mina or Kirishima was kinda fighting back, but still being suffocated, can you honestly see and justify All-Might / all the other involved heroes, just standing back and not trying to do something while these children are murdered in front of them?

tl;dr: The heroes had options and they actively chose to be useless. They weren’t helpless, they were complacent in forcing a 14 year old to fight for his life with no assistance.

Started rereading the Hunger Games series and I feel like it’s so overlooked how in 74th and 75th Hunger Games, we don’t know every Tribute’s names, with Katniss only referring to them by their District numbers but in TBOSAS, we knew every single Tribute by name. We associated them with the clothes they wore on the Reaping Day and Suzanne even goes so far as to describe how they looked, however briefly. We see these Tributes and we’re familiarized with them by the little tidbits provided to the mentors and to Snow and Lucy Gray. But we never get this in the original trilogy.

In two generations, President Snow alienated the Districts from each other so much that Katniss didn’t even care to know all the names of the Tributes sent into the Arena with her, with the exception being those who posed great risk against her safety and those she felt great compassion for (e.g. Cato, Thresh, Rue, Mags, Betee, Wiress etc.). Katniss even went so far as to call the D6 Tributes in the 75th Hunger Games morphlings, for their affinity to imbibe in the drugs that help them forget their own traumas (an incredibly hurtful description, in my own opinion, to be known by the qualities you hate the most about yourself). We never know the real name of the 74th D5 girl, with Katniss only referring to her as Foxface and we don’t even know Marvel’s name until we get to the second book and he was Katniss’ first personal kill. Katniss even kills the D4 girl in the books with the same tracker jacker venom that killed Glimmer and yet still, we don’t know her name. We are so removed from the identity of the other Tributes that we don’t even know what some of them looked like beyond brief descriptions of mangled bodies and dead Tributes in the bloodbath at the Cornucopia.

And, the thing is, Suzanne established the importance of names in the series. Even in real life, we recognize the importance of being named. It is a fundamental aspect of being human. If you’re ever in a perilous situation where a person might be placing your life in danger, we’re told to remind the person that you’re human. “Keep saying your name, how old you are, where you came from. Remind them you are a human being just like them.” Before any propaganda can work against a group of people, refusing to recognize a person’s name is the first step to dehumanization. And just like the people of the Districts, we don’t care enough about the other Tributes to even want to know their names. Their propaganda worked on us, the readers.

In two generations, President Snow completely wiped out any sense of familiarity and camaraderie the Districts may have shared with the other. In two generations, Snow sowed the seeds of distrust and division into the Districts so deeply that even we, the readers, were affected by the effects of Capitol propaganda. In two generations, the Districts ceased to genuinely care about the others beyond the vague sense of injustice they feel for their shared plight. It’s why Career Districts don’t seem to care about killing the other Tributes. How can you care, to show your compassion and humanity, when you can barely see them as people? Yes, they may have been in the Arena with you. Yes, they may have been starved and beaten and forced into labor like you were. Yes, they might be children just like you. Yes, they might be subjected to the same deplorable system that turned you into virtual slaves. But they are not your friends. They are not your allies. They are strange, with different customs and traditions that you have. You do not share the same values. They do not care about you. At the first chance they get, they will kill you with your bare hands and they will do it with alacrity if it meant their survival. There can only be one Victor and it can’t be them. It has to be you.

kevin day has done nothing wrong ever in his life. my source: i reread aftg like three times this weekend and i love him
