renee finds out about the fire and texts jean that she’s giving the foxes his new address so they can send him postcards, pictures, new things to fill their new home
kevin sends a couple of postcards, like he always used to
neil takes the absolute WORST photos of the team and sends them jean’s way. he can’t help but laugh at them, blurry, out of focus, ridiculous moments
renee keeps texting him, of course, but she’ll also send him the occasional artistic photo of the open sky, a flower in bloom
wymack sends him a terse letter telling him to contact him if jean needs anything
and then jean gets this ugly, dollar-store card that has a simple ‘fuck you, moreau’ scrawled in messy handwriting on the back, and he thinks it’s just another attack from one of the ravens or their fans until he sees the signature at the bottom: ex-brisket lungs
he frames it.
i saw someone say that cal and kilorn are like adhd + autism but which one is which???
Neil I-need-to-live-obscurely-so-I’m-never-ever-found-otherwise-I’ll-be-killed Josten:
*taps a microphone* “to all the mobs currently out for my life: this is my address, social security number, and schedule of all the times I’ll be home alone without protection.”
Andrew, who just promised to keep him alive:
I love Jean's POV because that mtf lies so much to himself that at some point, if you dont pay attention, even you start believing him
In the interview part, Kevin gets super mad because the interviewer suggests the Trojans made a mistake signing Jean, this is the first time ever he breaks his "public persona" and it is clearly because he got mad they were attacking Jean
Meanwhile Jean Moreau is out there thinking "Wonder if Kevin slipped like that because they talked badly of the Trojans or because of the alcohol"🤡
And it is not just with Kevin
EVERY TIME someone does something good to him or defends him, this mtf finds every possible reason for it under the Sun, except admitting this person cares and want him well
Jeremy is worried about him? Must be because Jeremy doesnt want him to be an obstacle to the team
Rhemann asks if he is okay? Must be because he is a terrible a player and is disappointing Rhemann on the Court
His other teammates want to spend time with him on the bus? Cant find the reason, but there nust be something
It is absolutely not his fault, and it in fact breaks my heart everytime
I just wish he could see how amazing he is and how much people actually care and like him
after sparring
This physically hurted me😭
I don't think we talk enough about:
“She prayed for a dragon to save her.”
“Not a prince?”
“A dragon could tear our house apart to free her and carry her far away.”
This line made me feel physical pain
Heard someone telling their kid that boys shouldnt cry and I was like "wtf??? Is this ths Middle Ages???"
Then I remembered there are a lot of mtf who still think like that
the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that in that scene Dan kissed Matt to the sound of the crowd's roar??
Like, that shit is f-ing epic
Imagine you are the captain in the team your boyfriend also plays, you just won a game and got yourselfs to round three of the championships for the first time ever, which is something you have been dreaming and working towards for ages.So you run over, take your boyfriend's helmet off and kisses him in the middle of the Court, with the whole crowd cheering and roaring. Literally "the alchemy" (by Taylor Swift): "cheers chanting cause they said there was no chance. Trying to be the greatest in the league. Wheres the trophy? He(she) comes running over to me"
Off course, Neil barely payed attention to that bc our demisexual king only had eyes to Andrew
Still epic as fuck. You go Queen Dan Wilds
"you're crazy they don't even interact in canon!!"
WHAT'S THIS?!?
anyway they're funny and kissing a boy would fix kevin so that's enough to ship them
Nora has confirmed that if Ichirou decided to kill Andrew, Neil would scape to Japan, work his way through the rankings of the real yakuza there(the OG Moriyamas, that stayed in Japan and dont keep relations with the USA Moriyamas), and once he got to the top, Neil would start to slowly dismantle the USA Moriyamas' empire brick by brick. Until he ultimately got to kill Ichirou (but only after making him watch his empire crumble and loose everyone around him)
The level of manipulation needed to rise to the top of one the biggest criminal organisations in the world just to get revange against someone like Ichirou is ABSURD
Literally a cold psycho fueled by anger and hatred
We are lucky he is fueled by his love for Andrew, stickball and his team
Neil could really have been a very suave criminal mastermind if he'd chosen to be. I'm rereading the kings men and the whole thing is basically just Neil gently manipulating people to do what he wants them to, and figuring out how to put anyone who won't come around to his way of thinking (Aaron) under pressure so that they just do what he wants. He wouldn't need to be as violent as his father, the guy just knows how to read people and figure out what they want, and what they can't afford to lose. He'd have them eating out of his hand if he wanted to do anything more than play stickball have boyfriend.
Jean is the proof that strong doesnt equal hard. He has a deeply kind heart, and it is exactly the fact his heart didnt get hard like stone with all the horrors he was put through that makes him so strong. He didnt just endure, his heart came out it all still soft and beating. I feel like this is also one of the reasons Riko was always specially cruel to Jean. He looked at him and saw all he could never be, all that his money, power and talent would never get him: a kind heart, and he wanted desperately to break this in him, to make Jean bitter and cruel, and it didnt matter how many parts of Jean he would break(physically, emotionally and mentally) he still couldnt break his softness and kindness. Not only that, but he was reminded of this at every turn: when Jean would still take care of Kevin, when he taught Kevin french, when he wasnt able to handle seeing Neil get waterboarded (even though he was tortured like that many times, he couldnt stand there and bare the suffering of another person). Riko hated and despised Jean bc no matter how many times he made Jean see and live through the worst of humanity, Jean still insisted of being a reminder of the best that human beings can be. He reminded Riko that he wasnt bad bc the world was bad, he was bad simply bc he was trash.
That's why I absolutely love Jean Moreau
I swear, this boy desearves the world, he desearves to heal. He desearves to be in a place like the Trojans, full of good ppl, who will show him that he desearves love
jean moreau who learns how to cook and falls in love with it because it distracts him from everything inside his head. jean moreau who learns how to ride a motorcycle and falls in love with the open road now that he can go wherever he wants whenever he wants to. jean moreau who likes peaches and cradles them in his hands like something precious. jean moreau who is sentimental with the gifts he receives from his friends. jean moreau who helped rhemann to pull up the vegetables in his garden and realised he would like to grow something of his own one day. jean moreau who'd plait his sister's hair for her, and sew up the rips in her dress. jean moreau who watches how people show affection to him and to each other and then emulates it back to them when they need it for comfort. jean moreau who was so disturbed by the image of his friend being hurt he searched her for imaginary bumps and bruises he knew weren't there. jean moreau who has been abandoned or betrayed time and again yet still looks out for his friends bc he is loyal by nature. jean moreau who still yearns so deeply for love even though he has convinced himself he cannot have it. jean moreau whose favourite colour is associated with all the things that bring him peace - the soil in rhemann's garden, the sand after the tide washed ashore, the dirt roads he'd been down with cat, jeremy's eyes. jean moreau, a soft boy forced into a hard life.
Their time on Tartarus is the perfect example of that
One couldnt have survived without the other down there
They made it across bc they naturally work toghter like if they were one
This isn't even a hot take, but Percabeth weren't smart x dumb. They weren't even book smart x street smart. They were strategic x strategic. Their minds worked in very similar ways that complimented eachother. It's why they were such great friends, it's why they were a formidable team, hell, it's why they could fight a war against a deity with an army of forty fricking kids and win. They shared their braincells, in the most beautiful sense of the phrase and THAT'S why, for me, they're perfect together.
