Pinned
My love for charming, kind, sunshine boys who get kidnapped and tortured and brainwashed and turned into a weapon and sent to kill the most important person in their lives who, however, refuses to give up on them and manage to snap them out of their brainwashing after they tried to kill them by referencing a specific thing they had said to each other in the past. They also lose one limb and gets a high-tech prosthetic from the enemy.
neil and jean: making up stories and lying to the FBI to keep riko out of any negative light
kevin on national television: RIKO WOULD HAVE KILLED NEIL IF ANDREW WASN’T FAST ENOUGH
Kevin dropping his public persona to protect Jean was everything I needed and more.
After having to watch Jean be hurt in the Nest time after time, after leaving him behind when escaping the Ravens, Kevin is finally in a place where he can be there for Jean.
Sending him to the Trojans, encouraging him to do therapy, arranging an interview to save Jean's public image, defending him from Hannah, do I need to say more?
Renee Walker I think about you every day
good luck to kevin who has to deal with a non-smoking andrew and a sidelined neil 🫡

good luck to abby who has to deal with a wymack who has to deal with a kevin who has to deal with a non-smoking andrew and a sidelined neil
why is no one talking about kevin telling jean he still hears riko’s voice when he was drunk i feel like that’s something we should focus on more
It's almost like a parallel to Jean's trauma of Riko's physical violence. Jean hears Riko's voice too. But most of the time his fear is of physical torture. That's what Jean remembers when he starts spiralling. He feels Riko's knives, remembers the feeling of dropping before hitting the floor. But Kevin hears Riko's voice. And the voice in his head was so bad that he started talking to Bee in his sessions even when he didn't want to. Even Jean says Kevin's wounds were never physical, but mental. The first body on which Riko tried his torturous tendencies. Makes me wonder what kind of things Riko said to Kevin. Since Kevin already had mental barriers by the time Jean came to nest, it must have been terrible.
i once read a fanfic where riko made kevin say “he belongs to riko” for 2 hours straight and by the end he was rambling incoherently and imagine the mental stress and manipulation that would put one under. it’s so scary and it’s just one possibility that a fic writer made up, imagine what he actually did and how horrible that must have been, imagine living like that your whole life. it’s a miracle, a freaking miracle that kevin is a functioning human being. it says how much kindness is inside his heart that he’s still trying to reach out to neil and jean about their trauma from the nest.

i am convinced that kevin just approaches the people he wants to be friends with and tells them they’re perfect court
nicky: okay, let’s start with something open-ended and friendly. ask him what he likes to do for fun! :)
kevin, approaching andrew, neil, jean, or jeremy with a tone that leaves no room for negotiation: you will be court.
