Everyone is so Kevjean this, Kevthea that, Kandriel there. How about Kevin shouldn’t be with anyone who is associated with exy? How about Kevin finds a person in a class who doesn’t really know anything about exy? How about Kevin being loved for who he is without the immediate expectation of greatness? He deserves to find his worth and be loved and heal and simply exist outside of the game. He is more than just his performance on the court.

The foxes are maybe the most interesting iteration of the found family trope I've ever seen. They love each other. They hate each other. They spend half their time fighting. They literally hide behind each other when threatened. They call each other slurs. They're all gay and date each other. They're mentally ill and traumatised. They're so problematic it's ridiculous. Canonically three of them are murderers. They have a massive sleepover where they all snuggle together .Some of them have about two lines of dialogue together. What the fuck
Ok just imagine: the twinyards with albinism. For no reason other than that Neil's commentary would be just that bit funnier.
"No, but I would ask coach why your pale ass isn't on drugs"
"No wonder you both wear black all the time, I'd hate to see you two burn"
Neil pointing at white face paint in the Halloween store: Hey Andrew, it's your shade.
They match ghost costumes on halloween without realising and then next year they're both vampires. They learn to coordinate after that.
Just like... the twinyards but the odds are even more physically stacked against them. That is all.
I love how aftg artists draw Neil with various shades of skin colour and he still always looks like Neil, but then we all agree that Andrew is forever fucking translucent. Like- he stands two seconds under the naked sun and he turns into a lobster with armbands
the gang
every friend group should include…
i feel like we as a fandom do not take advantage of the fact that andrew did a criminal justice major and told everyone it was for the meme. i genuinely believe he was going to go out there and change the world and make it better, even if it was just a little bit. i mean can you imagine? CRIMINAL LAWYER andrew minyard. OFFICER minyard. DETECTIVE minyard. SHERIFF minyard! BODYGUARD andrew minyard!!! the possibilities!!
It’s 2 am and I have aftg social media headcanons
Enjoy whatever train wreck this becomes
So during Neil’s second year at Palmetto State, Wymack decides its in the team’s best interest to participate more online and with their fans on different social media platforms. Originally, this was just having a team-shared YouTube account and a team-shared Twitter account.
But because it’s the foxes, things went downhill pretty quickly.
First off, the only person trusted with the login info for both the YouTube and Twitter accounts was Dan, because Wymack thought (rightly) that if any of the other foxes got their hands on the public accounts, everything would go to shit. But Wymack underestimated the fox’s power to get what they want.
One night, after a good game that they won, the foxes are all sufficiently drunk, and Matt and Allison manage to wheedle the login information out of a very tipsy Dan.
The next day, all the foxes have access to the accounts, and things start going sideways from there.
It starts off small at first. A tweet roasting the Raven’s (Neil’s doing), a YouTube compilation of different fox’s eating it during games played over It’s a Hard Knock Life from Annie (courtesy of Nicky and Matt). Wymack doesn’t think much of it, just happy that his foxes are actually listening to him for once.
But soon enough it’s tweets that just say Jeremy Knox <3 (Kevin was drunk) and YouTube compilations titled Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten staring at each other for ten minutes and thirteen seconds (Andrew thought Nicky was behind it, but it was actually Renee the whole time).
Then, somehow, it gets worse.
After a particularly rough argument, Aaron goes dark on his personal twitter. Fans are, understandably, confused. But their confusion only grows when they go to check his alt and find twenty new posts. They’re all just baby pictures of Andrew.
Then a Vine account pops up (cause Vine was still alive back then). At first, people aren’t sure if it’s real or not, but after a particularly… worrying video (the camera starts on a very drunk Matt talking about how pretty Dan is before panning to the side, showing a clock that reads 3:29 am) fans are convinced that it’s actually being run by the foxes.
Then the betting starts.
The first bet is started by the upperclassmen, and it’s simply how long it will take before Neil activates his personal Twitter and replies to one of Kevin’s tweets. In the end, it only takes a week. The tweet was about exy (obviously). Neil responded simply with ‘You tell ‘em Queen.’
After Neil has established himself as a salty shit on Twitter, the bets continue.
How long until Andrew and Neil start fake arguing under one of Neil’s tweets. Two days.
How long before the Minyard-Josten rivalry comes to a head among fans. Three days, right after Neil calls Andrew a midget on his main an Andrew blocks him.
Things also happening on the side: Instagram accounts have been made. Dan posts mostly pictures of her and Matt, or her and the other girls. Matt only ever posts pictures of Dan. Instagram is abandoned shortly afterwards, however, when the app proclaims Aaron’s death for the third time (like what happened with Jack Manifold lmao). Sources vary on whether or not Andrew had anything to do with this.
Neil sometimes forgets he has Twitter, and he’ll open the app after weeks of ignoring it, post some cryptic shit, and leave the fans to scramble for a meaning to the most random sentences.
Neil Josten @/n.a.josten
What the fuck does ‘lit’ mean.
Neil Josten @/n.a.josten
I’m gonna start breaking shit.
Neil Josten @/n.a.josten
Guys please. What is a twink. Nicky won’t stop calling me it.
The foxes quickly become, if possible, even more well liked by there fans, simply for the amazing content they make on the regular. A YouTube video that’s just twenty minutes of Allison doing Renee’s makeup and them talking about women’s rights? Amazing. A vine that’s simply Andrew throwing an exy ball at the back of Kevin’s head and looking into the camera like he’s in the office? Fantastic.
It’s really far too late when Wymack realizes that his foxes have taken social media and ran with it, but he can’t really be mad at them, cause they just seem to be having so much fun with it. 10/10 for team bonding :)
ITS THEM
Please consider an Andreil Soulmate au where your soulmates first words they say to you are tattooed on your wrist but Andrew & Neil are on opposite pro teams and the first thing Neil says to Andrew is just a straight up insult.
People having generic af things like “hey can you pass me that pen?” Or just a plain “hey” or something super romantic and then Andrew & Neil’s words are just “Nice shot but the goal is actually 5 feet to the left” and “fuck you, I’ll aim the next shot at your fucking face”
I'm really just saying, we do not speak enough of how fucked up the monsters are for ANDREW to be the mom friend
when neil was going to save andrew at the hemmick's house, he knew exactly what kind of wood the door was, and how easy it would be to break through. that's what kind of guy he is. neil doesn't win fights, but he is damn good at a getaway. this is a really good example about how all of neil's knowledge is really selective because of his upbringing. we need more survivalist neil because he shows all these traits in the books, another example is when he hitchhiked from columbia to palmetto. please stop ignoring this because i want to see batshit insane neil on the run fics right now thx
you're so right !!! prison guard andrew breaking out prisoner neil and they run away together fic now !!!
i feel like we as a fandom do not take advantage of the fact that andrew did a criminal justice major and told everyone it was for the meme. i genuinely believe he was going to go out there and change the world and make it better, even if it was just a little bit. i mean can you imagine?
