WAIT ITS COMING OUT DECEMBER 2ND, THATS MY BIRTHDAY THATS LIKE LEGIT A BIRTHDAY GIFT

TSC2 COMING DECEMBER 2ND AND TSC3 COMING OUT IN 2025 WE ARE SO BACK

this is legit so fucking good, is now one of my top 3 fics about the trial, the part where Andrew says that wymack looks like Steven fucking hurt the whole thing hurt actually

Most of the Foxes still think Andrew is a monster, or a sociopath, but Neil knows better. He knows that Andrew cares deeply about a handful of people but struggles more than he will ever admit with that fact.

The thing is, despite Andrew’s commitment to apathy and to denying that he cares about anything, he is often self-sacrificing in his efforts to protect the people he cares about. As Aaron’s trial approaches, Neil gets the sick feeling that Andrew’s self-sacrificing streak is going too far.

OMG YAY NEIL GORE

neil josten gore sketch as the fandom sighs not another neil josten gore phase please

ask game!! 🍄🛠️ <3

🍄= racoon child + college/the mafia = bloopin

🛠= one thing im struggle with elios wip/fic is what year he was actually born in as well as how the whole first time in Columbia went and if I just leave it out or add it in with just changing povs

very fun stuff for me again these are answers about elio obviously may do some about some of my others wips idk yet

🖍🤔

omg yay ty you for the ask btw, so these answers are both to do with my sweet boy elio josten he's my baby.

🖍= "where my mommy?" He looked around the small group of faces that were at the bus not seeing the one face that gave him the most comfort the strange urge to cry started to spill in his gut.

🤔= Alright so a story that I would love to wrote but I haven't started would be an au type of thing with elio idk fully what that au would be about it may be where elio was born much later or one where elio maybe got taken either with or instead of neil but it'd most likely be a one-shot

SNIPPIT 1 FOR UHHH the fic that has no name the full chapter 1 isn't written yet I just wanted to get the snippit out

so the snippit is basically when neil has the racquet slammed into his gut its not all that good written as its a snippit for a reason so enjoy:

Elio had his ear pressed to the bathroom/stall door hearing the locker room door get pushed open hoping it was his mommy and not anymore of the people who were already in the outside room, he didn’t hear the other give the signal to come out of hiding but worry was gnawing at his gut rubbing at his arm faster.

The boy was snapped out of his worry at the sound of someone hitting the floor and the sound of a gruff mans voice chastising someone, Elio pushed open the bathroom/stall door rushing around the corner slightly seeing Neil on the ground trying to take gasps of air, he seemed to have not noticed that Elio had came out from where he was hiding until the toddler{small boy} had rushed to grab onto one of his arms causing the short blonde to pause at what he was saying “well that’s interesting.” the blonde had mentioned a strange smile on his face. “Anyways if he was nice coach he wouldn’t be any use to us, would he?”

Elio noticed that his mommy had put a arm around his middle the boy didn’t share the same care for exy as Neil did having no interest in the sport other than watching the older one play and seem more alive.

I don't know if the bathrooms/stalls in the Millport locker were stalls in a room with a door or just stalls so uhh yeah

OMG TY I LOVE IT HES SO CUTE IN YOUR ART SYTLE.

plz go and show the oringal post some love, ty very much to my sis @sippycupx for drawing my sweet boy

GUYS GUYS ELIO CHARCTER SHEET DROP WITH QUOTES AND SOME SMALL INFO [small info focus on tfc] I TOLD YALL I DONT LIE I GOT IT DONE LIKE 3 AND A HALF HOURS LATE BUT OH WELL [yes Ik his age changed but its math correct so he is four not six or five I'm such a damn liar but oh well] [if you saw thsi before on my account no you did not]

short info: like Neil, Elio’s documentation is fake however, like how Neil has a legal identity Elio had one for a few weeks before mary had a death certificate made for a Aurelio Nat Wesneski much to Abram’s dismay, when coach Wymack came to recruit Neil, Elio had went to wait in one of the stalls in the locker and heared people talking but decided to wait, when Andrew had hit Neil in the gut with the racquet Elio ended up coming out of the stall worried and angry at the blonde, Neil waited till after the others had left to scold Elio for coming out of hiding.

on the plan ride Elio had clung to Neil as he’s scared of planes, after arriving Elio isnt as quick as Neil at picking up the difference between the twins gets worried for himself no Neil when hearing germen, disliked staying at Womack’s due to Neil being worried, stayed with matt and seth instead of going to columbia but mainly stayed under the bed covers hidden, when Neil got back to the dorms Elio clung to him again, when Neil and Andrew made the deal Neil explained it to Elio when the seats got rearranged Elio curled up on Neils lap or sat on the floor right by Neils legs.

Elios favourite fox at the time became seth as the guy has knowledge of raising kids, and he had found out about Elios love for mac and cheese, he had also gifted Elio a racoon plush toy [yes I've given seth a slight character thing even tho it was basically only Allison and Elio seeing it as he was an ass to everyone else]

the foxes all at the cabins outside:

kevin: he's perfect age to start playing exy

andrew: *keeping an eye on elio* ...

the foxes...

elio: *comes running over holding something* mommy I've found a racoon can we keep it

neil: sur- YOU WANT TO KEEP A FUCKING WHAT

Idk if this makes sense to me or not

alright guys I will try and get some more elio sketches/drawings out by like tomorrow/tonight maybe as I'm gonna be kinda busy but I can still take my ipad places with me, low-key wish I had an apple pen now but I don't I do have my trusty stilius stylus idk how it's spelt so yeah that's legit what I used to do elios character sheet the more you know

(ive also recently got into cotl so wooo yay that's fun)

I will try and post like a snippit/ just a text lire post of elio's reaction to andrew gutting neil with a exy racquet.

some more little info is that elio dislikes exy, he knows it's important to Neil and so he just bears it, he sits on the benches at practise but hardly pays attention to the game.

(this is like au talk rn I think so like seth lives aus talk) if seth had lived than elio would have been babysat by seth and Allison whenever the monsters went to edens if elio didn't wanna tag along (that's like nontfc talk so like probably roughly some where in trk)

onto how elio and seth found out that the kid is obsessed with mac and cheese is basically where neil went to night practise but left elio at the dorm so the boy could sleep. however obviously elio couldn't sleep and so seth had gestured for him to follow him to the kitchen and just grabbed some things from the cupboard such as {instant ramen, kraft mac and cheese(or whatever mac and cheese), cereal} elio hadn't ever had mac and cheese that wasn't from like a cheap dinnor [dinner,dinnar] so he poked at the box and seth cooked the full box {idk why} he put some in one of those plastic kid bowls {it had racoons on it} and elio tried it and got like a look of awe on his face and just started to scarf it down, seth had to like drag the bowl away so he wouldn't choke because of quickly he was eating, he then proceed to write a small note reading "your kid likes kraft mac and cheese nearly ate the whole thing, cooked full box so leftovers in the fridge" and he stuck it to the fridge with a magnet

me when I say it'll all be out by Friday uhhh so it's now 12 minutes into Saturday uhhh I swear it will be out in probably the meat 2 hours or like three I'm doing my best I'm nearly done with the character sheet I just have to write some of elios lore out ad then actually come up with a name for said fic but I swear it will be out I swear giys I'm not lying (unless I pass out due to cramps but oh well)

one of the best things about having aftg books on kindle is when it comes to writing oc lore I can just grab the kindle go to the books and quickly scan through for the information I need (I say this as I need fo get the kindle without having my mum be mad that I'm stealing it again, I also have to read ad or listen to tsc so woooo reasons) but yeah elio lore will drop with his character desgin soon probably later tonight, or later tomorrow or on Friday idk yet his lore has changed alot to what it used to be so like neil may or may not be trans and may or may not be the parent who cares at this point (its my I'm who cares so me trying to figure out a way to actively have it make sense that elio does have a legal birth certificate where his surename is wesninski)

anon just say you don't know how cults work, like it's not that hard to say just say you don't get how they work its quite simple, if you won't shot on any of the other ravens and only Thea than that's very strange going with she's the only canonical black character,

i wanna agree with you on thea and i understand she went through the raven's cult and i recognize that trauma/experience but she considered, Jean —who was underage when it started— being used sexually and I'm even willing to be she knew he didn't ask for it because she's not stupid and has been in the team long enough, "old tricks." to me that's shitty. And her overall attitude is much too dismissive/demanding for someone that didn't involve herself to help and just get answers to understand a situation she didn't even plan to BE involved with.

She's a fine character, well written for the little importance and screentime given, but she's detestable to me and I cannot respect her beyond "I see you're a survivor and a fine player, for that I respect you."

That and their relationship (hers and Kevins) is the most undeveloped/boring of them so I have a natural bias against them as a couple too but that's obvious now

alright people this is the last time we're doing this.

the nest is a cult. thea was in that cult for five years. thea did not get out earlier, like kevin did. thea was subject to brainwashing and abuse. thea was isolated from essentially anybody who wasn't a raven. thea was 18 when she got there. thea would have known nothing but the nest and become desensitized to the abuse that happened there. she would have looked past and ignored what the master told her to ignore because that is how cults work. that is how brainwashing works.

if you think her attitude is "too demanding" when she wants an explanation for kevin ignoring her for almost two years, read the book again. consider why the only canonical black character in it is "detestable" to you.

Stole this for this fandom bc some pEOPLE need to hear this today.

to add to this the fact that neil most likely had the lingering knowledge that he wouldn't make it to twenty like even if he never met the foxes or Andrew, also to add onto the andrew thing he and aaron never would have started to fix their relationship, jean wouldn't have ever left the nest and would have most likely committed (don't quote men on this next part I haven't read tsc) because he promised Kevin he wouldn't try but Kevin's dead so.

also just think about how wymack would never find out that Kevin was his son, he would never know the son he should have raised

Do you ever think about the fact, that if Riko had actually killed Kevin instead of just breaking his hand that Neil would never have met Andrew. and that Neil would fade from the world without a soul to remember him, and Andrew would forever be a monster to everyone who knew him. Or are you normal??

I live for twinyard angst man, it was really good to read :]

hey do you ever wonder if sometime during his degree aaron took a class about drugs and drug addictions and found out that quitting cold the way he did from the amount of drugs he was on could've killed him. do you ever wonder if andrew knew. do you ever wonder if there's a different timeline where aaron didn't survive the bathroom

why why do you like doing this, this is so fucking good tho like oml I can't form words

stab everyone, stab the whole cast at this point, I feel like they should all experience getting a puncture wound at some point in time

ok don't think about it just vote

keeping it appropriately vague to not spoil anything, it is aftg related, so just roll with it :]

I really just wanna iterate that it says so much that everyone just voted for yes with no context like this fandom is there like oh stabbing hell yeah

ok don't think about it just vote

keeping it appropriately vague to not spoil anything, it is aftg related, so just roll with it :]

hei, i just saw your post about you oc i think, elio

the thing is my name is elio and i was so confused for a moment and thought for the first few lines but then i realised it was not a stalker letter 😭

it sound great tho continue pls

omg I don't think I've like met or spoken to someone one with the name elio before, I'm glad you like my oc anon (I don't know if I'm allowed to find this funny) elio is very pretty name.

the whole entire reason on how elio got his name is because of the baby bump website I use it all the time when getting names for ocs.

I need to know how much you guys sleep. I sleep for an average of 8-10 hours every night (I go to sleep at 9:30/10 and wake up at 7 usually). I can function on six hours, though.

Yk how Allison's middle name is Jamaica? Yeah so imagine one long lost cousin that misses her comes to watch a game. Andrew is, per usual, uninterested. At least until that boy — he's tall, lanky, younger than them, comes running down the stands after they win, waving his hands and grinning.

"AJ! You won! That was fucking amazing!"

And, oh. Oh. Suddenly, he can't breathe.

Neil is there in a second, so is Kevin. He can't breathe.

the fuck is the heel its a goddamn topper like its on the top of both sides of the rest of the bread, like its called a topper (idk if this is a British thing actually it may be a British thing) But like WHO THE FUCK CALLS IT THE CRUST, THE CRUST IS THE STUFF ON THE PUTSIDE OF A BREAD SLICE NOT THE TOPPER (I'm sorry I shouldn't yell in caps)

I don't need to think of this, I don't need to

hey hold on a sec. we talk about what baltimore was like for kevin, neil, andrew, but can we talk about wymack for a second. Can we just.

the year before the twins and nicky signed at psu, two of wymack's foxes, ian and kirk, died in a car crash.

the next year, kevin day broke his hand and went to wymack, the only person he thought would keep him safe.

the year after that, seth gordon, the only surving member of wymack's original lineup, overdosed after he was so nearly clean, and it almost destroyed allison.

months later, andrew was attacked in columbia and committed to easthaven. aaron killed someone. andrew was gone and the others came back shattered.

then neil claims to go home for the holidays, they don't hear from him all of christmas break, and on new years, neil calls him and asks wymack to pick him up from the airport. he's there instantly and god, he looks half-dead. neil sees the 4 tattoo and tries to cut it off his face. all he can say is that he didn't sign to the ravens.

then there's the blood in the locker room. wymack can't push away the feeling that something's getting closer, something is coming to hurt his foxes and there's nothing he can do to stop it.

then. the game at binghamton. neil looks on edge but wymack doesn't ask what's wrong. neil and andrew are above his paygrade. then the riot. he can't see any of his kids in the crush. he finally pulls them all out, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight–

neil's gone. neil's gone and they can't find him. andrew can't find him. neil got taken by someone. what was that like for david wymack? did it feel too familiar? did he look at his kids and think not again, i didn't lose another one again. does it ever scare him. does it terrify him. when aaron came back from the police station in columbia, twenty four hours in holding and he couldn't look wymack in the eye, did he think what if i can't save these kids? when andrew was lying in a hospital bed, too drugged to react, did he think what if i can't give them their second chance? when neil grabbed that knife, when he fell to pieces on wymack's kitchen floor, when he came back to them in baltimore, bloody and broken, did wymack think why am i always too late?

Enjoy!

uhhh update on elio uhhh so elio was either born from 98-2000, (ik I keep changing the years but like I've seen people say neil went on the run at 8 which would mean elio wasn't even conseveied or he went on the run at 10 so really all I'm doing is just adding that neil is most likely 2 years older than elio, so the whole born in 98-99 thing is because that's what the fake birth certificate says that elio josten was in late September of 98 or 99 I haven't figured that out yet however I may elio actually have been born in late December of 2000 so elio is like 5 in tfc and then 6 post trk also elio is quite short for his age and no one really questions it cuz neil is short so.

also uhhh I'm still doing elios character sheet however I can say that elio does have a favourite fox and uhh it is/was seth so wooo guys seth gets a small character arc of accepting a kid dorming with him and than becoming attached to said kid so yay

I RAISE YOU POLYAMORY BETWEEN AARON, KATELYN, KEVIN AND THEA.

(I will not explain why I raise this I just do)

microwaved take but while i like and enjoy kevaaron as a ship, i will NOT tolerate kevaaron happening via aaron cheating on katelyn like i'm sorry but do you seriously think that AARON FUCKING MINYARD as in the bitch who figured out he could use neil to break off andrew's deal before NEIL realised that, who was actively spending as much time as he could with katelyn when andrew was in easthaven, who agreed to joint therapy with his brother just so he could keep his girlfriend, you think that man is cheating on her??? like, ever???

either kateaaron doesn't happen or its a mutual breakup of some kind but in NO universe is aaron cheating on katelyn
