THE SUNSHINE COURT SPOILERS!!!!!
Imagine how much it'll hurt Kevin when he realizes
a) How much Jean treasured that one bear magnet Kevin got him and
b) The fact that the ravens destroyed it just because Jean treasured it
He sees the shattered halves of it and he can't help but think that he never gave Jean a single thing that didn't become a weapon turned against Jean.

Ohh this. I know this carnally.
Kevin stumbles out of bed for a cup of sweet coffee so he can survive the morning but neil and Andrew are making out RIGHT in front of the fresh pot and by the time they move his morning cup of Jo is cold.
The front seat no longer belongs to him because stupid neil has shotgun for life and now he has to cram his gangly legs into the backseat and watch them be disgusting and hold hands over the gearshift.
During practice all day he can’t get Neil out of the damn goal because he keeps drifting over to flirt with Andrew instead of play the game, priorities Neil!!
Kevin, deciding an hour ago he was going to shower, only for Andrew to snag it first for one of his hour long shower AND lets Neil in when he knocks so Kevin is the last to get the shower and has no hot water.
Kevin minding his own business, working on his history essay while Neil and Andrew whisper to each other like schoolgirls across the couch. He pays it no mind until a pillow flies at his face and Andrew says “out.” He tries to argue, he was here first, he lives here too. No matter he is outcast from his home and seeks refuge in the library.
Kevin getting home from the library, essay submitted despite the forced distraction. He’s exhausted, ready for bed but when he turns the knob the bedroom door is locked and the two nincompoops refuse to open it no matter how much a ruckus he makes. Defeated, he slums it on the couch like a bitter divorcee and his backaches the next day, only to start all over again.
i think we are missing the funniest dynamic of aftg

I know this is not new information, but I've seen a fresh wave of people confused about what the fuck Andrew planned to do as a 5'0 man with a knife against the literal mafia, so.
I think the fact that neither Neil nor Kevin lost their faith in Andrew’s ability to protect them after he was attacked by Drake (unable to stand his ground against a single man with a bottle, let alone the Yakuza/Nathan with their guns) is the best proof we have that the deal was never about physical protection. This is confirmed by the way Neil never expects Andrew to save him from his father, in fact cuts him loose before Baltimore as soon as danger is truly near.
Andrew is a pretty self-aware character, and he wouldn't make promises he knows he can't possibly see through, so I think he knows what Kevin and Neil also know: what they need from him, and thus what he promises, is not physical protection.
To Kevin, he promises safety from the Moriyamas, and the way we see him enact that safety (at Kathy's show, at the banquet) shows exactly what it's about: when Riko starts getting into your head, when he makes you doubt yourself, makes you think maybe you should go back to Evermore, I won't let you. I will get you away from him, I will treat him like he's just some dude to remind you that you can face him without kneeling. I will be your spine until you find your own, I will stand my ground for you until you can do it yourself.
That's why the scene when Kevin gets to the dorm with his tattoo and Andrew's eyes show so much feeling is huge not just for Kevin but for Andrew: because that was the whole point of their deal, Kevin has found his spine, Andrew bought him the space and time to do it.
To Neil, he promises safety from the people hunting him down, and that means: I will give you something to build a life around (keys, drives to nightly exy practices, someone to lean on, someone who will listen without flinching). When you feel like running, I will be someone you can call to come pick you up. When you forget, I will remind you who you are: Neil Abram Josten.
Andrew stands between Kevin and Riko and between Neil and his father not as an impenetrable wall but as an obstacle in their vision: not shield but focal point.
(Makes me think of that scene in The Haunting of Hill House, Hugh holding Steven's neck to keep him from looking at the ghosts, saying, Look at me, just look at me, keep your eyes on me. That's what Andrew’s constantly doing --even literally, when Kevin is spiralling after Wymack tells the team about the district change and Andrew makes him look away from his broken hand and up at him).

there's something to be said about the way jeremy refused to believe the worst of jean because he trusted that kevin would not have sent him to usc if he was as bad as the rest of the ravens. and at the same time jean trusting jeremy as his partner because again kevin would not have sent him there if jeremy was not a good person that could look after jean. something poetic about the unwavering trust that they both have in kevin !! kevin day !! the man that you are !!

Observations from completing the Sunshine Court
Jean Moreau is the saddest girl in the world.
Jeremy is Richard Gansey III and I want more explanation on his backstory. Tell me how his mom sucks NOW!
Nora Your telling me Jeremy was never blonde? I don’t believe it. Your fucking with me
Jean is actually so funny. The drama of his descriptions. Like this man has the longest laundry list of trauma yet a sugary drink is the worst thing to exist ever. That’s very French of him.
Jean did have a crush on Kevin comfirmed (still holding onto blind hope that kerjean could be canon)
I think it’s safe to say the Trojans are the queerest team in the league. Cat and Lila are queens and I love lesbians, Xavier is a king who respects boundaries, Nb rep and polyamory. Nora you’re treating us.
The fact that Jean was so upset about their heights
Idk why sports anime mafia au is the best setting to explore indoctrination stalkholm syndrome and extreme trauma but fuck it where here, we ball, and I’m not okay
I always forget how unhinged Neil is and seeing him from an outside perspective did not help
Neil’s also a king who respects boundaries but like in an unhinged way
I too would put a hit out on a rapist if I had the means
Jean had a little sister 🥺 I will never recover from this knowledge
And We thought Neil had compartmentalizations skills, fuck me.
I never realized the symmetry between Neil and Jean and their twisted fate. I’m very glad that Neil got to have a part in this book and hopefully a part in jeans healing.
I need book 2 NOW Nora!
