Once again thinking about how I think that one of the things that keeps David Wymack up all night is his guilt for 1. never having claimed Kevin as soon as Kayleigh died and 2. never getting the chance to rescue Riko either

You know that interview with Max Verstappen where they ask him how he deals with the hate that he receives from f1 fans and he replies, "nothing could be worse than what I went through back then"?

That's so All For The Game coded. I can imagine pretty much any of them saying that but Kevin? Kevin.

Imagine they've made it. Kevin, Andrew, and Neil are all on the US Court team. And certain people are upset that it's Kevin and not Riko who made it. I mean he was always number 2 and now Riko's dead and Kevin's a superstar, the solo son of exy. And so the media asks him if it bothers him, all this hate that he gets from people who used to be Ravens fans, who used to cheer for him and he just says, "Nothing could be worse than what I went through back then."

Yes. Riko was an abuser. Nobody can deny that he hurt, sexually abused and tormented people physically and emotionally.

Yes. Riko was abused. He was hit by Tetsuji when he got things wrong, conditioned to believe that he had to be the best or his life wasn't worth living. He was abandoned by his father because he was second born, ignored by his big brother, and not even congratulated after he tried everything to gain their approval.

Yes. He hurt Jean out of anger. He used Jean as an object because that is all he had ever been to his father and family. He was a way to make money, but his father never saw him as anything more than that. It allowed him to feel powerful and in control of someone when everything else in his life was out of his control.

Yes. He flips after his father dies. Of course, he does. When you've worked your entire life to be acknowledged, spending thousands upon thousands of hours training to win, winning trophies, doing sponsorships, raising great chunks of money for the family, only for your father to die before even showing an ounce of pride for you? Of course, he flips. Jean just happens to be there, someone he knows he can hurt and get away with. Someone less than him at the bottom of the food chain. Perhaps the only person who sees the anger for what it truly is: failure. And Riko doesn't like that.

Yes. He hurt Kevin out of jealousy. Riko grew up in a world where failure was unacceptable. Failure meant pain, death and suffering. Exy was all Riko had and all he ever had. He couldn't stand to be second best because second best is all he had ever been. He would not be second in the one thing he was meant to be the king of. He hurt Kevin out of jealousy, and was beaten to an inch of his life for it.

Yes. He grew up sheltered. Riko was groomed to be a star by Tetsuji. He was groomed and exploited for money by the only person who had ever looked at him and seen something. He lost his mother. His father didn't care about him. He had nobody. He lived underground in the nest for most of his life and played exy every single day for most of his childhood. He probably had no friends his own age until Kevin came along. There was nobody who understood what Riko was going through.

Yes. Riko hurt Andrew. He had Andrew hurt as another power trip. It was to show he had great power and could do what he wanted with it. He had no boundaries. Throughout the series, Riko is shown to be insecure. He craves power and acknowledgement and wants to prove he has a place in the mafia family next to his brother.

Yes. Riko is more complex than a simple villain. He is self-destructive and works to the bone to try and be worth something. He uses anger to cover up his blatant abandonment issues. He is never and will never be enough. And if he can't be enough, then nobody else can. Nobody can take his place.

He is scared of Kevin, frightened of Neil, terrified of Andrew. He is constantly trying to stop his precarious tower from tumbling in the only way he knows how.

If all his mistakes were punished with pain, disappointment and anger, how can he know any different? He doesn't know the world really and hasn't experienced it outside his little box of stardom. He doesn't know what is 'normal.' For him, failing means getting beaten. Failure means losing his status. Failing means falling from power. It always has.

No. Just because Riko was abused and groomed does not mean that his abusive behaviours were justified. He chose to become an abuser, despite everything he had suffered.

No. He wasn't born evil. He is horrible - don't get me wrong - but he shouldn't just be cast off as coming out of the womb with horns and a tail. He was shaped by his experiences, negative and positive. We all are.

Riko thought beating people into submission would show his power and prove his worth to his family. In the end, it resulted in his downfall.

I put in my notes on Kindle on the line of Wymack telling Jean he was never letting Moriyama/Riko touch him again, something about how protective Wymack is makes me love him so much. Like in this chapter Nora refers to the airport scene with Neil and Wymack and it just reminded me how strong and caring but not quite paternal yet still a father figure Wymack is for the Foxes and really any stray desolate child who comes to his door. He's so good. Obviously it'd be heartless to send Jean back, especially like this but even at all, but to be SO dedicated and to say it to Jean's face so blatantly and be like "fuck them fuck you I'm not letting them hurt you and you can hold me to it" it just makes my heart hurt? I love him sm.

The epilogue is insane actually. Neil literally watches Riko get shot point blank by his brother due to Neil’s actions, and Neil is fucking ecstatic. No twinge of guilt, or real horror at what he witnessed. He fucking hated Riko, he and Kevin are finally free, and this is the best day of his life, so Neil simply does not give a fuck.

Let's settle the debate;

Does the perfect court have Roman numerals or like actual numbers?

in honor of “the sunshine court” coming out i thought id share a poem i wrote after reading “the kings men” for the first time :,)))

i’ve always had this strange fascination with riko as a character & tsc really solidified my hatred (and interest) in him..!!

so this poem is about riko! check it out on ao3 if u want :)

also feel free to reblog if u liked this :)

a raven never forgets

there is a loaded gun in his pocket,

heavy, burdened, unused.

it waits, in anticipated moments, to be abused.

the butt had yet to crack a skull, it will,

in due time.

anger bubbled, he needed not a gun, but a racket.

it wouldn’t matter, in the end, because a bullet wouldn’t be shot.

no, he’d pummel them. skin then. burn them.

they’d be dead, yes, gone in muffled cries,

and he’d be alive, livid.

adrenaline pumping, revenge, seeping through him,

blood on his hands but not on his conscience.

he was the necessary evil.

he was the king,

a king who would punish,

hurt, berate, kill.

he’d do it, with an ugly smile on his face.

but what is a king with a fallen crown.

with no men. no army; no support.

what use is a king gone mad?

a lifeless, bloody mess,

with a bullet connected

through his head?

a king, unrecognizable as royalty,

pushed to the brink of insanity,

forcefully cruel, meeting a

bitter end.

Out of curiosity, why would Wymack feel responsible for Riko at all? Also I thought he had no idea Kevin was his son? It’s been a while since I read aftg so I’m not sure though

Hello!

1. Kevin tells Wymack that he's Wymack's kid after Neil gets back from Baltimore, mostly due to pressure from Neil. It's so that they can try to get less media attention on the whole "Neil was kidnapped and nearly killed by his mafia serial killer father" ordeal.

2. Because I think that, after some time has passed after Riko's death, Wymack would see another person that he maybe, in another life, could have saved. That if he had known what was happening to Kevin and Riko growing up, that he would have been able to save them years and years of pain.

2.5. That guilt, at least in my opinion, would only grow as Wymack spends more time with Kevin. He'd learn more about Riko, the adoptive-brother-figure-of-his-son instead of Riko, the abuser. He'd see the slivers of what could have been but never was allowed to exist.

2.75. Also because then maybe Tetsuji Moriyama could have gone to jail for child abuse as well as for his horrific and psychologically abusive coaching "strategies" and it would have saved Jean Moreau from being subjected to being sold in the first place

#I can say a lot lot more #I have so many feelings about the regrets that wymack would feel later on in his life #and I think knowing that there were two boys that he could have and SHOULD have helped would be one of them #especially when one of those boys was his actual son #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #riko moriyama #aftg kevin #kevin day #jean moreau #aftg wymack #aftg riko #aftg jean #david wymack #wymack #coach wymack

The fact that it took exactly two misunderstandings for everything in aftg to go down is so insane to me

#riko thinking kengo would care for him if he became the best #and kengo thinking tetsuji wanted kayleigh dead #whoops i guess #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #nora sakavic #riko Moriyama #kengo moriyama #tetsuji moriyama #aftg riko #riko aftg #tetsuji aftg #aftg tetsuji
