Defend My Thesis? I'm Not Even Sure I Believe In It...

kevneil is everything to me. neil trusting kevin with the truth, neil trusting kevin with his binder over winter break, kevin believing in neil's potential, kevin being so convinced about it that he says it publicly, knowing he takes what he says to the public very seriously. kevin telling neil he should run away, he should survive. neil staying and giving his game to kevin, neil arguing with riko on national television for kevin, kevin teaching neil raven drills, kevin telling neil he will stay sober on thanksgiving so neil could drink if he wanted to, neil promising andrew to take care of kevin while he's away... neil and kevin man

I feel like the raven king would’ve gone differently if someone had bothered to ask Neil why riko knew about his mother. like they all thought he was estranged from his parents but the last straw for the riko roast was literally him saying he’s a coward just like his mother? WHY DID NO ONE ASK

still foaming at the mouth at the fact that neil and andrew have matching flip phones, matching coats, matching armbands, they both have keys to the maserati. the fact that they are inseparable to the point that jean notices the way they move like they are caught in each other's gravity, the lingering looks when one falls out of the orbit for too long. neil learning the importance of give and take from andrew and offering jean something in exchange for keeping him alive. you are what you love or whatever

let's talk about how kevin and andrew's love languages are gift giving. kevin, going on his trips outside of the nest and buying little souvenirs for jean, taking neil to get his first heavy racquet, andrew buying little figurines for betsy, giving neil his keys, buying neil his outfits, buying neil his armbands...

like of course i would kill for my sibling but would also kill my sibling at the slightest inconvenience

andrew and aaron minyard are so "i wish you liked me" "of course i love you" "but do you like me?" coded

i know it isn't canon yet as of the sunshine court's release but i still stand by my headcanon that jeremy draws a little < next to the 3 on jean's cheek to make a <3

cat, laila and jeremy would've killed riko with hammers i can tell you that much

andreil in their late 20s

you ever think about coach hernandez? of how he noticed neil's potential and that there was something going on with him and how he would perfectly fit with wymack's misfits and submitted his file to the foxes. of how he unknowingly pushed neil in the right direction to getting a real opportunity at life? how he might hear about neil on the news and be like fuck? i knew something was up but this is insane. he did such a small thing and changed the trajectory of neil's life forever
