I Hate That It's True

why does nora exist to hurt our feelings.

In case you’ve missed it. Bombs Nora has dropped on AFTG Twitter in the last 48 hours:

- Katelyn’s last name is Mackenzie (and her role is being Aaron’s queen)

- Marissa’s last name is Baker and she used to be a Fox striker (how did this not come up before??)

- she has 1,584 files (84 folders) just filled with details about the characters and the plot of aftg (and she won’t let us see 😔)

- she said she didn’t give exact descriptions of the upperclassmen because they were meant to be mere personalities and the backbone of the fox line (however she did say she adores black Dan & Matt)

AFTG Headcannons!

i'm currently rereading the books and i thinking about the foxes and i just need some fluff in my life.

· First Andrew and his Arms TM. How much he lifts in the gym is notable enough for Neil to point it out. He could out-lift anyone on the foxes and anyone on his new team post graduation. Which is incredibly funny to think about because he's literally 5 foot. Horribly unbalanced. Neil wants to lick his biceps.

· Every one of the foxes has seen andriel making out on the roof. Aaron is scarred for life. Kevin wishes they would spend that time on the court. Nicky has to be restrained so he doesn't take a picture to send to Allison. Wymack heaves a long suffering sigh. Why did the universe set him up with these idiots?

· Neil thinks of half his comebacks in advance. the other half is adapted from his pre-existing list. He talks so much shit in his head he just starts writing it down. Neil is a planner. Andrew also knows about this list. Sometimes Neil writes them down for him to give his critiques.

· Andrew and Aaron learn to fight like normal brothers eventually. Imagining those boys bickering like siblings breaks me in half.

· Aaron has a stage where he dyes his hair brown for like a couple months. He didn't ask for twin, did he? Him and Andrew don't talk much during this little rebellion.

· The foxes actually call drunk Kevin "Kevin Night". I saw a post about Kevin Night being all about destroying his liver and safe to say that is the funniest thing i have ever seen in this fandom. It's a running gag among the foxes and you'll Never Guess who started it. (nicky)

· When Andrew and Neil both eventually quit smoking, Neil takes to drawing all over Andrew's hand to curb his cravings, and somehow it spirals into him sketching on his arms, legs and torso and months later, under his armbands. But it all comes to a head years later when Andrew wakes up with a fox paw on his ass. Neil can't show his neck in public for months.

· One morning after a particularly bad nightmare, instead of Andrew hitting out, it was Neil. Andrew has a bloody nose by the end of it and Neil has never felt worse. More proof that he's nothing, that he's not worthy of the foxes, that all he can do is hurt, because oh god He Hurt Andrew- Andrew puts a stop to it as soon as he isn't dripping blood all over the carpet. Healing isn't linear, junkie.

· Once Andrew gets to the stage where he's ok with hickeys, Neil suddenly can't leave enough of them. If the foxes didn't know better, they would tease the hell out of him but sometimes their self preservation instincts get the better of them. Often, much the Aaron's disgust, the place bets on how many bruises will be on his neck the morning after. Renee refuses to bet on principle.

· Allison teaching Neil to dress himself and taking him on their weekly shopping dates. I just love the idea of it so much. The freshmen thinking they're dating because of it. Allison dressing Neil to kill, for Andrew's sake. Almost all the clothes she buys him end up on the floor afterwards. Allison teaching Neil to do eyeliner. Neil with getting a matching helix piercing with Allison. Everyone dies a little once they see it. Matt drools a little.

· As Neil becomes more up to date with his flirting skills, he realises that "Doesn't mean I wouldn't blow you" is literally the most insane this to say during a conversation. He teases Andrew mercilessly and Andrew does that thing where he blushes with his ears and snogs the life out of Neil. He doesn't believe in regret but even he isn't immune to Neil's particular brand of wind-up.

Everyone is so Kevjean this, Kevthea that, Kandriel there. How about Kevin shouldn’t be with anyone who is associated with exy? How about Kevin finds a person in a class who doesn’t really know anything about exy? How about Kevin being loved for who he is without the immediate expectation of greatness? He deserves to find his worth and be loved and heal and simply exist outside of the game. He is more than just his performance on the court.

.

Nicky calling Kevin "as bratty as they come" uhhhh bitch no. Kevin is literally a mother hen. He's literally threatened Neil to take care of himself and prioritise his health! Kevin is a little worrier and cares about all of his fox babies at heart ok ?

PLEASE I implore you to read whole "doesn't mean i wouldn't blow you" conversation to the chorus of Closer by Nine Inch Nails. That is all.

Ok just imagine: the twinyards with albinism. For no reason other than that Neil's commentary would be just that bit funnier.

"No, but I would ask coach why your pale ass isn't on drugs"

"No wonder you both wear black all the time, I'd hate to see you two burn"

Neil pointing at white face paint in the Halloween store: Hey Andrew, it's your shade.

They match ghost costumes on halloween without realising and then next year they're both vampires. They learn to coordinate after that.

Just like... the twinyards but the odds are even more physically stacked against them. That is all.
