Wait, okay so:
Personally feel like their are too many people in the fandom who are just here for the shipping :/ sorry you dont get neil like I do I hope you feel better
BIG NOTE: THE FINAL MATCH DOES NOT COUNT.
I love this answer but also
we both don't know it, I don't know who's lied to you, but I take the being a bad bitch to heart I am a bitch
i made a quiz that tells you which aftg character you are based on random questions that give me a vibe!
possible results:
Allison, Andrew, Nicky, Neil, Aaron, Seth, Matt, Dan, Renee, or Kevin
some of the answers are blunt
hei, i just saw your post about you oc i think, elio
the thing is my name is elio and i was so confused for a moment and thought for the first few lines but then i realised it was not a stalker letter đ
it sound great tho continue pls
omg I don't think I've like met or spoken to someone one with the name elio before, I'm glad you like my oc anon (I don't know if I'm allowed to find this funny) elio is very pretty name.
the whole entire reason on how elio got his name is because of the baby bump website I use it all the time when getting names for ocs.
uhhh update on elio uhhh so elio was either born from 98-2000, (ik I keep changing the years but like I've seen people say neil went on the run at 8 which would mean elio wasn't even conseveied or he went on the run at 10 so really all I'm doing is just adding that neil is most likely 2 years older than elio, so the whole born in 98-99 thing is because that's what the fake birth certificate says that elio josten was in late September of 98 or 99 I haven't figured that out yet however I may elio actually have been born in late December of 2000 so elio is like 5 in tfc and then 6 post trk also elio is quite short for his age and no one really questions it cuz neil is short so.
also uhhh I'm still doing elios character sheet however I can say that elio does have a favourite fox and uhh it is/was seth so wooo guys seth gets a small character arc of accepting a kid dorming with him and than becoming attached to said kid so yay
honestly tho if you'r heart didn't get torn during these books (I haven't read tsc yet cuz I've yet to finish chapter 3 of tfc) don't talk to me (I'm joking any of you can talk to me)
I was seven; I didn't ask; switch between Neil and Nathaniel; it's fine Nora it's not like I NEED MY HEART TO FUNCTION IN ORDER TO LIVE OR ANYTHING đit's just for decor+
PREACH BAMBAM
like I can get how the line can get taken out of context but like it was the 2000s from what I remember from cousins I've had tell me it wasn't all that great for lgbtq+ people, plus what Kevin said does make sense from the state of it being a sport team and a college 1 thingy at that as well as the fact that they'd be in the public eye and under scrutiny for things like ik we don't fully know how the exy fans reacted to Neil going for riko but like we can just tell that from what the raven fans did kost likely no one liked him.
and like "it's easier to remain heterosexual" the whole wording of that is like to me he doesn't care what you do with other people about your personal relationships however going I the public eye it would be easy to play off being straight like going with paparazzi today they are invasive with what they do to people in the public eye like imagine the backlash from homophobic people if they find out one of their favourite footballers/soccer players are gay it wouldn't go down well, so Kevin was being very caring on suggesting it he wasn't demanding that neil remain straight Kevin couldn't really care less about Neil's swing situation he wasn't really raised to care relationships anyway If I remember correctly so yeah.
Kevin was being a good teammate and giving a suggestion that he believes/believed (irk if it changed) would help neil in the long run plus he says this like before finding out who neil is (if I recall correctly) so he was saying it while also having hopes that neil would go pro
biggest pet peeve rn is people taking "it's easier to remain heterosexual" entirely out of context. no, Kevin was not on his high horse about the fact that he's straight. no, he was not telling Neil that being gay is wrong. i am holding you so gently by the shoulders.
"you know better than anyone how prejudiced people can be" (to nicky) literally said not 2 seconds after the first line
he's just looking out for him cuz he knows that his career is gonna be that much harder if he dates a man like i don't-
alright guys aftg kid oc coming soon juts as soon as I figure out how the fuck to draw a racquet whys it so fucking hard, (having to use fucking reference for the arm position which is hardly how'd one would hold a racquet.
HOW DOES ONE DRAW A FUCKING EXY RACQUET OR LAC4OSE RACQUET!!!
GIYS HELP DO I AMMKE A AFTG KID OC LIKE JUST SOME KID WHO THE FOXES TAKE IN AND THEN THE MONSTERS + KATELYN BASICALLY BECOME THE KIDS PARENT GROUP LIKE I ALREADY HAVE AN IDEA OF IT AND STUFF
I don't know if I should make it true tho help
SNIPPIT 1 FOR UHHH the fic that has no name the full chapter 1 isn't written yet I just wanted to get the snippit out
so the snippit is basically when neil has the racquet slammed into his gut its not all that good written as its a snippit for a reason so enjoy:
Elio had his ear pressed to the bathroom/stall door hearing the locker room door get pushed open hoping it was his mommy and not anymore of the people who were already in the outside room, he didnât hear the other give the signal to come out of hiding but worry was gnawing at his gut rubbing at his arm faster.
The boy was snapped out of his worry at the sound of someone hitting the floor and the sound of a gruff mans voice chastising someone, Elio pushed open the bathroom/stall door rushing around the corner slightly seeing Neil on the ground trying to take gasps of air, he seemed to have not noticed that Elio had came out from where he was hiding until the toddler{small boy} had rushed to grab onto one of his arms causing the short blonde to pause at what he was saying âwell thatâs interesting.â the blonde had mentioned a strange smile on his face. âAnyways if he was nice coach he wouldnât be any use to us, would he?â
Elio noticed that his mommy had put a arm around his middle the boy didnât share the same care for exy as Neil did having no interest in the sport other than watching the older one play and seem more alive.
I don't know if the bathrooms/stalls in the Millport locker were stalls in a room with a door or just stalls so uhh yeah
I really just wanna iterate that it says so much that everyone just voted for yes with no context like this fandom is there like oh stabbing hell yeah
ok don't think about it just vote
keeping it appropriately vague to not spoil anything, it is aftg related, so just roll with it :]
