nickyklose: just imagine kevin spending hours looking up athlete rehabilitation articles and trying to find one that matched the extent of his injury, or him nervously pacing outside of the office of PSU’s athletic physical therapist the first time he scheduled a consultation for his left hand (not to be confused with all of the…

Nicky closed his eyes and sucked in a deep, unsteady breath. “What have I done?”

“You didn’t do anything,” Neil said. He searched for words, but the ones he found weren’t his. They were Wymack’s, shared with Neil to ease Neil’s guilt over Seth’s death. “You didn’t know this was going to happen. None of us did. If we’d known, we wouldn’t have come.’

Neil and Andrew at Aaron’s trial – if you’re still taking prompts. Thanks!

philosophium: Neil hates trials; they are public and quiet and straightforward. It is a place of no emotions and just solid facts. But is it even possible to separate one from the other? Aaron is sitting next to his lawyer, and from where Neil sits – though he can only see the back of Aaron’s…

& OMG, neil is so super wrong about andrew at first, but i always appreciated how he keeps considering/reconsidering them all, figure them out/understand them in relation to himself (evaluating threat) and changing perceptions on fact. i love neil.

Neil is such a great protagonist, partly because of this exactly!  he observes and thinks and analyses (and eventually acts on what he’s learned), and he isn’t necessarily right from the beginning, in fact due to his hyper-awareness of his surroundings, his constant threat-assesment of everyone he gets into contact with, and his trust issues,…

Riko Moriyama

lightwood-minyard: Ok, I have to talk about riko at the end of TKM because WTF!!! He didn’t deserve that! I know he was an asshole and I wanted to punch him so hard most of the time and I also didn’t care that andrew broke his arm he deserved that after all he did! But…

you know i think neil’s mother’s abuse of him is even more scary than his fathers because neil doesn’t seem to see anything wrong with her beating him and stuff?? I’ve read tfc was just wondering if that goes into any detail about his mother’s abuse in books 2 &3 because i find it kinda scary???

coldsaturn: neil’s take on this matter is perfectly summarized in this deleted passage from book3 (not spoilerish): “Neil’s mother had hit him and screamed at him, but she’d always been on his side. She’d always been his mother first. […] Neil couldn’t imagine a world where mothers weren’t actually mothers.”  everyone in tfc has their own…

forursmiles: i just want to point out how important the evermore scene is. like going to the doorsteps of his enemy is literally the last thing his mom would want him to do. and the last thing Neil would even consider doing if he hadn’t met the Foxes. “He’d been raised to run, to sacrifice…

lilaliacs: unidentified-flying-outrage: rileybluuseys: lilaliacs: rileybluuseys: coldsaturn: reneewalkrr: lilaliacs: facts: jean has alot of jeremys sweaters and its not even because he steals them its just jeremy forcing them onto him to get him to wear some colour bonus that personal headcanon that jeremy is like 5 inches shorter than jean, who is like, 6′3″ (neil…

isaaclajey: don’t think about seven year old Jean watching his parents meet up with strange people, with all the wonder in his eyes nine year old Jean not believing how naive he used to be eleven year old Jean not liking the way the exy racquet feels in his hands but being forced into training…

coldsaturn: monstersqueen: this said i’ve seen quite a few times the idea that neil’s mom would one way or another damage neil’s mark and – i don’t think she would? Not because I don’t think she thinks of neil having a soulmate as a dange and tries to lead him away from them and teach…
