Okay, I might be pulling this out of my ass but since that finals match was in Evermore that means the foxes should have been wearing their white away jerseys. Which means: the final match was a game of chess.
Not only are they wearing white, but they have first serve (Dan won the coin toss), and near the end the Foxes' king (Neil, because this is a battle between Riko and Neil) changes positions with the tower (Matt, a defenseman that towers over most people) creating the illusion of a castling.
And right there at the end, Riko attempts to kill Neil because they're in front of each other, but that's not how kings work. In the time it takes him to take that step, Andrew closes the gap and strikes. Check mate.
finally reading The Spear Cuts Through Water and it's sorta fuckign amazing wow. The only way i know how to show I really really liked a book is to make shitty memes about it but there’s something so ethereal about TSCTW that it’s lowk sorta hard…
Anyway, it's a bit funny that even though it's being told through like 4 perspectives and it reads so much like an old oral fairy tale, it still has the ragtag group of misfits traveling through the land.
Oh yes, the raven boys
are we gonna talk about Andrew using his eidetic memory to draw something?? like he doodles in his notebook during lectures and it's the most fucking accurate sketch of a gothic building you've ever seen? like babe you do have a hobby, Neil just doesn't know about it, does he?
do you have a secret sketchbook hidden under your mattress that's filled with drawings of Renee's smile or Kevin's broken hand? do you memorize every one of Neil's scars to make a map of them in your book? are you gonna reveal that secret and show Neil your stupid drawings?
does Nicky miss his boyfriend so much that once he finds a rough sketch of Eric between the sheets of his book? it's fucking creepy till he finds the note saying 'a.j.m. used him as a reference'
does Kevin look surprised, when you pass him a piece of paper, not knowing yet that you made a research about his mother to draw her as perfect as you can?
does Aaron smile when you give him a drawing of his stupid girlfriend or he silently folds it into his wallet and strides away?
does Bee starts to collect your doodles of insects that you make during your sessions? can Wymack hold back his tears when he finds a portrait of Seth Gordon on his desk, knowing who has the access to his study and a fucking huge warm and loving heart under the layers of not giving a fuck about life? you tell me.
TRC GRAPHIC NOVELLLL
can't wait to see Ronan's hopeless pining in 4k
"how about a kiss for your jailbird brother" 😀
andrew minyard really has a way with words but like can you imagine how it feels for people when they find out that this short, knives obsessed, batshit asshole is the most eloquent guy you'll ever meet
I mean obviously there is the iconic "is your learning curve a horizontal line?" and the underrated "oh, neil. you are far too heavy to tread ice this thin." or even "hell hath no fury"
but the icing on the cake has got to be "is your spine the spine of the righteous? are you trying your best to step on my toes because you’re feeling the tragic weight of the holier than thou?"
I mean come on
from andrew, to renee (re: neil)
trk trailer ending with andrew looking over his shoulder into the camera because no one's watching his back while he watches everyone else's.
