when you think about it--I mean really think about it--the feelings Jean has towards Kevin are so fucking palpable and Kevin, as much as I like you, I woulda fucking decked you so goddamn hard. SO hard.

Like, Jean really loved him. He really loved him. Kevin was this amazing shock of green amongst all the black and red and Jean was what 15? 16? Imagine being that age and falling for a boy who isn't wholly warm to you but who cares for you and looks after you better than anyone else in the hell you're living in does, only for him to get hurt one day--so badly hurt--that when he asks you a simple favour you do it immediately without thinking twice. Without suspecting a thing. It's nothing. It's so small and so easily believable that the physical pain you suffer at the hand of your master is almost nothing compared to the utter agony in your chest as your heart breaks and bleeds--realising he never felt the same.

He was everything to you, but you were just a piece on a board to him.

I don’t know if I want to laugh or cry about the fact that Jean shows up and starts getting onto everyone about their substance abuse issues in in tgr. Like it’s very amusing watching him literally just walk around confiscating everyone’s drugs and alcohol and calling Andrew “Brisket Lungs”. On the other hand:

- The Ibuprofen Incident ™️ makes it abundantly clear that a huge part of his issue with various substances is rooted not in genuine understanding of any harmful effects but rather in Raven fear tactics

- He is the only person since Kevin left The Nest to clock his relationship to alcohol as a genuine problem that needs addressing. Literally no one has said a word to him about this or tried to help manage either the alcoholism itself or the underlying problems that caused it in the first place.

- He is, again (as far as I recall) the first person to point out to Andrew that there are going to be consequences of him smoking outside of the exy court and that maybe these decisions don’t just affect his own body that he cares so little for (again, sad in its own right that Neil’s wellbeing is placed so highly in comparison to his own)

- The fact that when he believes Jeremy about the no-backsliding deal it is a new experience for Jeremy

So yeah, maybe just the crying part.

Wymack sitting at the funeral of Riko, the dude who was his estranged son’s codependent brother, who treated him as a pet and mentally and physically abused and tortured him for years. The same dude who also physically abused and orchestrated the gang rape of said estranged son’s best friend. Who then blackmailed one of your players, who knew your son from years back, and let Riko beat the shit out of him over Christmas break because he didn’t want his situation-ship to get hurt, who is your estranged brothers codependent bestie and protector - who riko also orchestrated the abuse of anyway. And then your team proceeded to beat him in the championships, where he tried to kill one said player before the other broke his arm and then his brother who runs the Japanese mafia killed him and framed it as a suicide. And now you sitting next to said estranged son, who people blame his death on, watching him grieve this absolute psychopath cause that’s just how much he fucked him up.

Wymack: *thank god this isn’t awkward or anything*

It is now canon to me that at least once the girls sat around a coffee table and seriously discussed how hot Kevin would be if he wasn't such a bitch

The Golden Raven & The King's Men

Just a parallel between Andreil talking to each other about their lives for an entire bus ride versus Jean teaching Jeremy French in their bus ride :"))

He never once took his eyes off Neil's face or looked like he was mentally tuning out of the conversation.
.. but a glance at his watch showed he'd lost almost three hours talking with Andrew.
.. and Jeremy listened with unwavering fascination.
