merman Neil finds a lot of people’s jewellery and always gives them his merman Andrew.
Andrew is always resentful but still wears these jewellery because a) it’s Neil’s gift b) Neil gave this c) it’s none of your fucking business
and he puts on himself these countless necklaces and beads, puts on rings and some strange bracelets. and he absolutely everything changes. one day Andrew wears gaudy yellow beads made of artificial shells with rings with black stones. then he will put on emerald choker and beaded rings. However, there’s a bracelet which Andrew will never remove. smooth pebbles hanging on green algae. they are not as smooth as they were then Neil found them but Andrew doesn’t care. It is unique bracelet. Andrew will put it on until his death. and even after he won’t do it.
i know literally no one will see this but i’m starting a new instagram for aftg content so if you’re feeling like an idiot extra kind human today go check it out perhaps? it’s called @kevins.estranged.wife merci my esteemed comrades

In preparation for The Golden Raven, here’s my little Bingo prediction cards.
(One of these are more serious than the other.)
I have many of thoughts about TSC. But to start off, I'm incredibly curious about Jeremy.
This book is dual POV between Jean and Jeremy. But the story revolves around Jean's journey. I think it makes a lot of sense considering he's been through so much—he needs the focus and time to get to where he is at the end. He's ready to open up and become his own person now for the next book. If that focus wasn't there on him, we might not fully feel this. Or if the focus was equally split, it might be a lot for one book. Cause I think Jeremy's got his own demons.
We know it's hinted at throughout. But that's it. Hints. Even in Jeremy's POV we barely get any insight. @kevindavidday mentioned that this very much might be done on purpose to show how Jeremy deals with his issues. Or that he doesn't deal with them, instead he distracts himself with those around him and tries to help them (i.e. Jean).
So just to go over what we know:
- Jeremy has a tumultuous relationship with his family.
- His family does not like Exy. They resent him for it.
- He doesn't get along with his step grandfather.
- Something odd about his siblings.
- He specifically avoids his older brother.
- Something happened after one of the banquets.
- He's gone/going to therapy, which apparently had helped him significantly.
- Despite him not liking living at home, there's an insinuation that he has to.
One theory I really want to put out there is about Jeremy's siblings. When Jean learns about the siblings, Cat stutters before saying the number. It leads me to believe that Jeremy's second brother is dead.
Taking into account that we have one scene with Jeremy's sister and at least know his older brother is in the house, that leaves one sibling unaccounted for. And considering the pause before saying the number, I think this indicates Cat was going to say "Two."
Taking this theory, does this connect to the banquet? Or at least why his family doesn't like Exy? There seems to have been an event that changed their family forever. Did his brother die because of something related to Exy?
Also who is his grandfather? Wealthy and seems to be a horrible person considering Jeremy of all people does not like him at all. What did he do to get Jeremy not to like him? Is he going to be a bigger player in the next book? Does he have a similar threatening influence that many high power figures have in the series?
I'm really excited to get these answers. We've spent so much time with Jean and his journey, I'm wilding to see Jeremy's. And how Jean might help him, just like how has Jeremy helped Jean.
I have things to say about their dynamic, too, but I'll leave that for a different post.
I love when AFTG fanart has Neil's eyes looking like this:
Brb, I need to reread about a chaotically mouthy runaway with the survival instincts of a literal goldfish that finds his high-key disfunctional, yet loyal and trusting, family through a sport he has more love and dedication for than, like, his own life.

Been seeing so many aftg posts that my first thought seeing this at a vintage market was of Jeremey Knox
We need more demisexual rep for many reasons but #1 because why is the best representation of my sexuality ive ever encountered neil fucking josten
(said with affection)
I dont usually have fan casts, but im watching a.p. bio with my family and no one can tell me this isnt Andrew Minyard.
Just finished The Sunshine Court. Happy Thanksgiving i guess🫡✨️
Queer creative writing major order
For All for the Game Fans,
Anyone seen Those about to Die? Cause the guy playing Hermes (Alessandro Bedetti) is giving me peak Neil Josten faceclaim.
He has the wavy hair that only needs a tone to make it auburn, the blue eyes, the tanned skin. Also he’s handsome.
Anyone agree with me?
jeanaaron but Aaron finds jean in the washroom in the banquet bleeding out so he helps jean with his wounds. It's a normal occurrence and when Jean is at abbys jean only allows Aaron to see his more personal wounds
Sketchbook pen doodle! My fave problematic mafia boi.
I’ve read the All for the game trilogy but listening to it on audiobook is completely different.
The “thank you. You were amazing line” has made me tear up. Who gave Andreil the right to end me like this?? I mean, I knew what was coming but I was not ready. I’m crying. 😭
I love them so much.
In England, in a town called Uckfield, there is a skate, surf and snowboard shop on the high street. It’s called pipedreams. Which automatically reminds me of Andreil.
Maybe Neil owns a extreme sports shop in the uk and Andrew is travelling with Kevin and they go to get equipment.
(I sort of think that Neil would be a kickass skater/snowboarder. Maybe Andrew is a skier? Or he surfs?)
But they meet and get all competitive and the story goes on from there?
Someone one expand this idea please!
Endure, he warned himself, and on its tail-end came a desperate How much must I?
ppl who overemphasize the andreil height difference make no sense to me like. it’s 3 inches and andrew prolly wears his fuck ass platform boots while neil prances around in sneakers so worn out he might as well just be wearing socks. be fr they’re practically eye to eye neil’s just got a complex and points out andrew’s height every other sentence
