Just some AFTG stuff

I can’t remember a single other book I read 6 years ago or even generally what was going on in my life but AFTG is still with me after three surgeries, two major depressive episodes, and a bachelors degree like wtf???

the more REFINED version, just a tad

I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SATURATION

I saw a post comparing andreil to san and ashitaka and I had to draw it

I think we as a community don't recognize how funny the first confrontation scene in The Foxhole Court is. Like we talk about how absolutely confused Kevin must have been and how the sudden language shift was wild and how Aaron and Nicky are just O.O over the quiet new kid losing his shit.

But Neil runs into the room (picking the lock with ease, mind you) guns blazing, threatens Kevin, calls him a slur and a "deadweight has-been", then turns and fucking runs. Like... doesn't even put up a pretense of a physical fight, just books it and slams the door closed like that's going to make a difference. The mental image of Neil Josten sprinting out the room like a thirteen year old who just pissed off his older sibling and is about to employ the kicking method is too good for us not to recognize.

gonna be so honest i didn't understand the aaron hate for a while i thought he was pretty neat actually

um yeah and then i read the scene where he asked neil if he thought andrew was just an "easy target" because of everything with drake and.

i kind of lost it.

Aaron did this on purpose. After Baltimore, and after Aaron seeing Andrew in Neil's clothes, he was becoming aware of what Neil meant to Andrew, and wanted to check if Neil was as serious about Andrew as Andrew was about Neil. This is the same type of tactic that Neil used against Aaron to show him that killing Tilda was the same as killing Drake. If Neil hadn't got angry over such awful accusations, Aaron wouldn't have trusted Neil with Andrew. He also had more selfish reasons for doing this, that being breaking his and Andrew's deal so he can openly date Katelyn, but even these selfish reasons only prove that it was to get confirmation of how serious Neil and Andrew's relationship actually is.

Hope I could help a little. In my opinion Aaron deserves a lot love ❤️

i never really got riko apologists for no other reason than the fact that a good chunk of their argument is “in another life he would have been better” well he was a cunt in this one and I’m glad he’s dead

you will feel so alive again.. like so incredibly alive. i dont know when that will be but it will be. u are gonna feel so alive that ur cheeks hurt from smiling oh man oh man i promise that day is coming. you do have a future, you do have good things coming, and you’ll survive everything that’s thrown at you until you reach that day

i do promise

i think if my doctor walked in and i recognised him from the trial where he got acquitted for murdering a rapist i would feel very comforted and wouldn’t even care about his tragic bedside manner i would give him a fist bump

one day i'll see you again

Encouragement

a reformat of that giant massive aftg extra content doc (plus the rainbow crate chapters) bc i wanted to restructure it in an easier, more digestible way. it's broken down by sections and subsections with an interactive table of contents. enjoy <3

Well well POP

my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG

he is small and harmful

the stupidest hairstyle in the world? ofc for my little sad boy
