Kayleigh Day - Blog Posts
What if The Queen's Game doesn't just refer to Kevin? What if it refers to Kayleigh, too?
I just– Kevin has always said that the Trojans play Exy "as it was meant to be played" and the award for excellent sportsmanship is the 'Day Spirit Award'. What if Kayleigh Day created the sport to be as the Trojans play, and her death left Tetsuji Moriyama free to twist it into something it was never meant to be?
Coach Moriyama taught his Ravens that rule breaking and fouls were just an acceptable part of the game. Tetsuji behaved like success in Exy was intrinsically linked to cruelty and suffering, but Kayleigh used Exy as a way to help people like David Wymack.
As the co-creators of the sport, Kayleigh and Tetsuji were the original King and Queen of Exy. But this King's ruled long enough—it's time to tear his castle down. With Tetsuji out of the picture, will Kevin Day, the new Queen of Exy, be able to push the game back towards what his mother always intended it to be?

Imagine. The first part is about Wymack but then the end it´s about Kayleigh.
Do you see the vision?
wait, is it canon that Kayleigh was murdered or is that a fan theory, bc at this point I can’t tell
Ah well... As I know fandom thought about that throuple
That already exists hella long as my profile pic... But I still wanna show it
Would eyes made to see start to feel?
Love them

Kayleigh was ready to do anything for two things and one person.
Life, Exy, Tetsuji.
The first was what made her decide to kill, go into prostitution, go with a group of homeless cannibals. In honor of life she lost all moral values. When life hangs by a thread, you step over all principles. You will do anything and survive in spite of everyone.
The second was what Kayleigh flames with. The mere thought that she would become the creator of something so harsh, rough, perfect and so accurately reflecting her inner struggle made her soul sing. Sing, if a battle cry of contented possessiveness could be ever called singing. It was hers - not only hers, of course, but it was born from her hands, her thoughts and her heart.
Tetsuji — the one who once looked down on her. Once he was the one whom, perhaps, Kayleigh would like to be. He was the one who never whistled from behind or cast appraising glances. Now he was the one who once sacrificed his health so that she wouldn't feel bad. The one who adjusted all the crazy ideas about the game and turned them into from dreams to goals. The one who, despite his skepticism, put his life on the line and agreed on a deal with his family. Tetsuji was the one who once gave her hope for eternity.
Congratulations: I have a theory.
If Kayleigh, when she already had some money, took abandoned children, allowing them to develop and live at her expense?
Do you think that's cute? Nah.
She knew that it takes years to popularize sports. She knew that her time is not eternal, and the spark has long since turned into a devastating flame.
She served as an example for Tetsuji. She knew that these children couldn't go anywhere. She also knew that it was important to have as many skilled people as possible playing under her name. Under the name of her game.
There is no place for the first and last in her team. Here are those who lack strength, those who lack agility, those who lack freedom on the court... The list can go on and on. Kayleigh has a keen eye and she noticed any flaw, forcing them to work on it until perfection.
Perhaps, partly, she was afraid. Afraid that Exy would fade away. That it would go out like a match. She wasn't going to let it happen. She squeezed the last drops out of players, pushing them at their best, just so her sport would be perfect enough to be recognized.
i'm not sure what the technicalities were before kayleigh day's death, but the idea that she might have trusted tetsuji, the man she cofounded exy with, her legacy, with her son, and he betrayed that trust in the most horrendous of ways, the idea that they might've been been friends at some point. it's just so devastating
They will never make me hate Kevin Day.
Growing up he never knew his dad. His mom died when he was young. He'll only ever be able to know her through other people's stories, silently hating himself and resenting them for knowing her more than he ever will. Even though she is remembered as a celebrity, memories fade, imagine him asking himself, would I even remember what she looked like if there weren't articles and pictures of her? Plus, it's incredibly unlikely he was given time to grieve or ask questions about his parents and family history once he was abducted into the nest. No. In fact, Kevin was no longer the son of Kayleigh Day, instead he was forced into the role of a 'son of exy'. He holds on to the sport so tightly, partially because he was raised a Raven, but also because it is the only tangible thing he has that belonged to his mom. He probably dosent know any stories about Kayleigh except for ones reported in the news, and he knows from experience that a media persona is much different than the person behind it. Tetsuji certainly dosent seem like the type of guy who would have sat a young Kevin down and told him about his mom. And Kevins relationship with Wymack is not easy to navigate, it will probably take a while before he asks Wymack to tell him about Kayleigh. Exy is the only thing he's ever been able to safely have that connects him to his mom in a meaningful way. Kevin had to build a media persona as a teen, smiling and acting like he and Riko were brothers and best friends. Growing up, he watched as Riko became more ruthless and hateful. Was he worried of becoming like him? Or was violence already so normalized by Tetsuji and the Ravens that young Kevin was already desensitized? People call him selfish, egotistical, an asshole, a coward. And, yea he kinda is all those things, but he's also much more.
I wrote this cause I was procrastinating doing my math homework so it's probably only partially coherent, I have so many more thoughts about this diva but I'll save those for another day
Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about Kayleigh Day and what could’ve been if she’d lived
Everytime I think about David Wymack and Kayleigh Day I become useless for roughly an hour
