#aftg fandom
Aftg characters as things without context I heard people in my class say:
~~~
Nicky: And they’re like “ohh but he had a feeling she was there” NO. THE ONLY FEELING HE HAD WAS GAY FEELING
~~~
Andrew: I’m serious, you need to be careful. Yesterday a guy in my class got his phone stolen inside the school
Renee: really? that’s really bad… Do you at least know who did it?
Andrew: Yeah. I did. But that’s besides the point-
~~~
Dan: Oh my god I want that jacket
Allison: You want the jacket? I want the girl wearing it
~~~
Kevin: Do not.
Andrew:
Neil:
Kevin: Do. Not.
Andrew and Neil:MEOW
Kevin: [angry scream]
~~~
Nicky: maybe they’ll never find out…
Renee: Oh they know. Jesus watched your unholy behavior and told them *calmly sips on drink*
~~~
Nicky: Hey cutie
Neil:wha-
Nicky: Can I get your insta? My mom told me to follow my dreams *bites bottom lip in a “seductive” way*
Neil:
Neil: that was my 13th reason
~~~
History teacher: and these women had ways of making an abortion safetly, all by themselves-
Allison: Teach me!
Allison: oh wait I’m a lesbian never mind.
Allison, turning to a very disappointed Kevin: I forget that shit sometimes
~~~
Matt: Oh my god that baby is dancing like Jesus! Copycat
Nicky: how do you know he ISN’T Jesus?
Matt: Dunno bro, all babies are the same
Nicky: not really. normal babies don’t usually have like a cow and a dunkey next to their bed when they’re born
Neil: nowadays, most of them don’t have fathers either
Matt: fair enough but still
Nicky: look dude all I’m saying is that I never saw THAT baby and Jesus in the same room so-
~~~
Neil: *walks in*
Dan: hey is that a new shirt?
Renee: looks good on you :)
Andrew, who entered 2 seconds after: *looks Neil up and down*
Andrew, with a disgusted face: what bet did you loose?
~~~
Dan: You’re the only white person in the group… Isn’t it weird? Do you ever regret becoming friends with us?
Allison, looking Dan and Matt dead in the eyes: I do regret becoming friends with you most of the time, but not because you’re black. Just because you’re idiots.
~~~
Kevin: Unlike you, weak people, no one ever dares to hit me and no one ever will.
Neil: Kevin the only reason why I don’t trow a rock at you right now is because I’m a peaceful person.
~~~
Matt: You guys are actually a cute couple sometimes. Do you have pet names or something?
Neil: Sure, watch-
Neil, yelling across the court: I LOVE YOU BABE
Andrew, also yelling: FUCK OFF BITCH
Neil, with a soft smile:see?
~~~
Teacher, seeing the very agrecive hickeys on Andrew’s neck: Jesus Christ are you okay kid? What happened?!
Andrew, shrugging:mosquito
Neil:*walks in* sorry I’m late-
Nicky: HI MOSQUIT- *gets punched by Andrew*
the fact that we need 8 hugs a day for maintenance is so specific but i love that someone figured that out . now please line up
- Nicky Hemmick to the foxes every single day
exy boys
i think this is the most accurate representation of how i picture them in my head that i’ve ever drawn
I’m a firm believer that Neil harness trains his cats and then takes them on runs.
If you really think about it, Andrew actually wasn’t the first one to reject the ravens, it was Neil.
Aaron: you use humor to deflect trauma.
Nicky: thank you!
Aaron: why are you thanking me? I never said your jokes were good.
The upperclassman: I can excuse homophobia, but I draw the line at killing abusers.
Literally all the monsters: you can excuse homophobia?
I feel like aftg would be so much fun if we got more of the foxes doing college things. Like yes, there is a mob war, but this calc professor may just kill me before they do.
Neil had a duffel for how many years? Like, bro, just get a back pack. Like I’ve been able to fit 3 outfits and all my hair stuff in a MINI backpack, and you don’t have the common sense to fit like 8 pairs of clothes and a binder in there. Like they make some huge backpacks. Not only would it make more sense for someone his age to be wearing a backpack, but it’s heavily implied that he’s had that duffel since he was like 8. And Imagine you see this 8 year old kid, the size of your pinky, walking around with a duffel twice his size. I’d think something fishy was going on.
Also the fact that Neil didn’t know what fashion trends were going on was stupid, you’d fit in more by going with trends than wearing old worn clothes.
In conclusion I’m doubting not only Mary Hartford’s parenting, but her ability to go on the run as well.
How well is fight against the foxes (not if I’d win, just how much effort I’d put into it)
Andrew- 10/10
-Id not only throw the first punch but I’d do it in a public place so I could go in and watch the tape over
-I don’t hate him, but if I saw him in real life I’d punt him across a soccer field
Nicky- 4/10
-done some problematic things so I’d probably like slap him, but I’m a Nicky Stan at heart so I’d probably apologize after.
Matt- 3/10
-he’d say something about the drapes in the room and I’d glare at him, but then I’d shake my head and walk away (I have to pick my battles)
Dan- 0/10
-id let her punch me snd then thank her
Renee- -50
-I’d bring her coffee and then ask her on a date, nothing she says could make me want to punch her
Allison- 8/10
-she’d say something rude and I’d see red
-but all I’d do is walk away and throw water on her to ruin her hair
-we’d probably become reluctant friends after though
Neil- 0/10
-I’m a Neil Stan, but I’d hate him in real life.
-I’d try and punch him but he’d run, I don’t do running so I’d just walk away.
Seth- 10/10
-I don’t know if I need to explain this?
Aaron- 2/10
-me and Aaron would probably be pretty ok friends.
-but he’d do something to Nicky and I’d glare at him till he apologized
Kevin- 10/10
-I don’t have anything against his character but he’d be reviewing my essay and his constructive criticism would come across as an insult and then I’d throw his laptop at him
I’m very short and very weak, I would win none of these fights.
(Oh no Renee I’m very injured, please treat to my wounds in the bathroom while I sit on the sink and you’re in between my legs)
So I am a firm believer that Nicky has bad anxiety and depression just naturally and never got meds for it because his parents were very “why do you need meds? Just pray.”
And his bad days aren’t very noticeable unless you pay attention because his smile will be sort of smaller and he’ll hunch in on himself. He’ll eat a lot of bland foods (specifically scrambled eggs) and he has this one hoodie from Germany that he’ll wear. And slowly the twins become more aware of these signs and they’ll hold off on their comments and speak a little more because Nicky needs to have things said to him (he doesn’t understand subtext) and they don’t want to stress him out more.
I think a big reason Andrew didn’t have any sort of deal with Nicky is because at the time he would’ve given one to him (when he was In high school), Nicky already was required to stay as the twins legal guardian. Andrew always knew the relationship had an expiration date. And that’s why Nickys choice to stay after is so important, because there was no deal or legal document keeping him there. He was there because he wanted to be, say all you want about Neil, but you can’t say that Nicky didn’t choose the twins.
I think it would be great if there was a romcom based on Katelyn and Aaron, except Andrew never like threatened her with knives, just words. And you don’t think he’d actually do it. And then the deals released, happy ending. But at the end credits you get that character moment when it tells you what happens, and you just are so shocked, cause that random side character that appears once has ties to the mafia, the entire team has ties to the mafia, and right now you’re wondering if the funny threats Andrew made were serious. Also he’s DATING the guy from the mafia?
I think there’s something truly poetic about Neil’s original position being a backliner, a defensive position, and then him switching to a striker, an offensive position. IE. him being in the run his entire life and hiding, to staying in one place and fighting for his life.
Neil: I can excuse murder, but I draw the line when it affects exy.
Nicky: you can excuse murder?
Neil: bitch
Aaron: what was that for?
Neil: idk,felt like it
Matt: hey! Wanna go cliff jumping?
Neil: isn’t that dangerous?
Matt: yeah but who cares?
Neil: why not, I’m gonna die anyway.
-after Baltimore-
Matt: hey buddy, were you serious?
The millport exy team: yeah, this game was amazing. Did you hear Sophie cheated on Bryan? I know what a bitch.
Neil: I wonder how long it’ll be till my father kills me.
The only reason I’d ever want to meet Andrew Minyard in real life is to call him short.
Aaron and Andrew being able to pass for each other means that Aaron is as buff as Andrew.
We all deserve more Nicky and Neil friendship content. Like they were actually really close in the books.
I want to see not only Neil opening up to Nicky, but Nicky opening up to Neil. Like they kinda fit together in a way that I feel like needs to be explored more often.
Neil is someone who grew up with a gruesome life and had his identity taken away from him and had to constantly change.
Nicky didn’t grow up with a gruesome past, he grew up very white picket fence suburbia. But he understands the way people don’t look close enough on the inside. He understands having to change because of other people, especially family. He understands wanting to hold on to family figures (the way Neil does with Mary).
Nicky and Neil are so interesting, and their dynamic would be so cool to look at. How they could deal with each other’s bad days. How they would deal with both their natural martyrdom.
How they try to convince each other that what happened wasn’t their fault. As both of them try to take the blame for what happened at thanksgiving.
Nicky, not imposing on Andrew and Neil’s relationship, but giving respectful advice as someone who was in Andrew’s life and seen his bad days. I never got when people made Nicky the main imposer on their relationship, out of everyone he would probably back off after a little.
I mean he understands what it’s like for people to judge your relationship without knowing what it’s like.
