Channelling Andrew Minyard Fr

Because he's been meme-ified a lot over the years, I feel the need to point out how smart he is. I mean, yes, he comes across as this feral, impulsive sort of character (and he has a lot of dumb energy, lol), but he's also really logical and precise. I love how complex and multilayered his character is. Nora did such a fabulous job writing him.

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

Blue and Ronan 💙🖤

their friendship means the world to me btw . if you even care

Matthias calling Kaz a demon and Jean calling Neil an abominable cockroach (or literally any one of his nicknames for Neil. There are several, take your pick.) has the same energy. The dynamic is the same - exasperated, broody foreigner refuses to be associated with their insane, scheming friend who is severely fucked in the head.

YES. Also, Matt and Dan and Cat and Laila basically adopting Neil and Jean.

I love them, your honor.

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

being self aware suuuucks like yeah this thought pattern/behavior is stupid and pointless and a symptom. i know this. [does it anyways

neil’s favorite game is “i’m going to say something unhinged as fuck with no context and watch people try to figure out if i’m telling the truth or not”

andrew’s favorite game is “im going to watch neil say something unhinged as fuck and offer zero input on if it’s true or not (i know the answer) and watch everyone cycle through the stages of grief as they realize that there is literally no way of knowing without asking and they’re scared ask if neil really jumped out of a plane without a parachute once or if he’s fucking with them”

characters of all time, really

I feel like we forget sometimes how insane Ronan's crush on Adam was. Like, oh my god? They weren't even dating for most of these... The longing, the yearning, the devotion, the lovesick pining - 10/10, *chef's kiss*, nobody is doing it like him. He loves Adam - lonesome, unknowable Adam - like it's breathing. They make me violently ill.
