One night, Aaron FaceTimes Andrew, and he is sobbing, but before Andrew can ask what’s wrong or even panic, Aaron flips the screen to show the twins and asks them who is who. They say their names, and then Aaron says no, and they just giggle and tell him not to be silly; they know their names, and Aaron’s like, clearly not, and then asks again, and they switch names. Aaron flips the camera back around, telling Andrew they’ve been doing it for hours, and he can’t tell them apart anymore. When Andrew asks where Katelyn is because she has never once mixed the twins up in their three years of life, Aaron flips the screen again, and Katelyn is laughing so hard on the other side of the couch that she's not even making noise anymore. Neil literally almost pees his pants because he’s laughing so hard, as well, and Andrew, after telling Aaron who’s who because Andrew has even the most minuscule difference memorized, he tells the twins to keep up the good work and then hangs up.

A bit of Andreil character design from earlier today because why not 🦊

Maybe exy is a little boring to him — but andrew doesn’t just not care about exy, neil notes in the beginning of tfc that he seems to outright resent it. boredom doesn’t bring about resentment. but do you know what does? the idea that a sport you barely give a shit about is the only reason anyone gives a shit about you

tell me i'm not the only one who regularly has this thought

Andrew has to be larger than life. He has to be scary, he has to be strong. Because he's so fucking small. And being small is what made him, makes him, so vulnerable. He can't be hurt or broken like the rest of the foxes. Fuck even Matt hides behind him.

That's the reason he works out, it's the reason he fights Renee, it's the reason he is so fucking angry and unapproachable all the time.

He has to be big. Being small killed him.

(@obscureshipsandchips is to blame for this)

I love your art and I just want you to know that many of my soft andreil moments I’ve written for WIPs have been inspired by your amazing art of them cuddling <3 they’re great inspo!!

OMG THANK YOU! 💕 Every once in a while I go back to look at the cuddles bc 1) they’re so nice to draw I wanna do it again and 2) I love reading the comments on them 😅

I have. feelings about them

Tsc really shows us why Neil josten is Nora’s favourite character (as he should be) (he should be everyone’s favourite character)

Andrew: I’m this close to falling in love with Neil.

Renee: Andrew.. Your fingertips are touching.

Andrew: fuck.

me and Nora share 1 singular brain cell

just read the first book in 2 days so honestly I'm almost insane, yesterday i spend my classes thinking about what will happen in the next chapter (and now in the next book) so i just draw some doodles of (some) them

Andrew’s all about respecting someone’s no until it’s one of the foxes telling his nieces and nephews no. Then he could give less of a fuck. They own him. He’ll give them anything and everything. One of them asks for money, he sends double. Presents every time he visits. Parents say no? Uncle Drew says abso-fucking-lutely. As long as they aren’t hurting themselves (or others depending on the severity) he’ll do just about anything for them. He’s the worst about it with Aaron’s girls but it extends to the rest of the baby foxes as well. He is the favorite and he worked hard to get it. He is their confident, their safest space, their biggest advocate. He will drop anything and everything to be there for them. He’s walked off the court just to answer a phone call about homework problems. And higher power help them if someone makes his babies cry. Andrew Minyard is the best fucking Uncle to ever Uncle and you will not change my mind.

HC that three years after Neil goes pro, some ardent Riko fanatic tries to shoot him while he is driving his beloved peanut of a car. The car is ruined but it protected him nonetheless and the guy is arrested. Andrew drags Neil to the nearest concession to get him a massive bulletproof SUV that Neil instantly hates because “it’s too fucking big Andrew” but Andrew has suddenly acquired the ability to be deaf to any of Neil’s complaints. That’s how Neil finds himself with a cargo of a car that he absolutely despises driving and he very bitterly regrets his old rolling tin can. Driving it around is a nightmare, let alone PARKING it, he has to hop off the driver’s seat otherwise he’s stuck and that thing drinks gas like Kevin used to swallow down vodka.

Neil Josten - orange cat Energy - just weird feral and unpredictable

Andrew Minyard - black cat Energy - seemingly mysterious, actually no thoughts up in the head

Someone rewrite aftg but from the pov of the busboy Neil paid $100 to knock him out

niche hc but when Neil is having a Learn Every Language In The World day, he’s just being annoying with Andrew and going through every European language and stopping to google a few phrases before moving on. Eventually he gets to Ireland and Kevin’s not really paying any attention to him until Neil says a word like ‘thank you’ or ‘goodbye’ and he freezes up in the corner of the room.

Andrew notices straight away obviously and stops Neil but then Kevin just starts to cry.

When Kevin’s mother was alive she would call him pet names in Irish, and use some Irish words sporadically here and there when she was speaking, like most Irish people do, and he hasn’t heard anyone speaking Irish since she passed away. Thank you is one of those phrases that a lot of Irish people use day to day just to keep the language alive, and it was always one of those things she made him say as a younger kid to help her feel close to home.

Nobody really knows what to do, and he’s not sure whether he’s happy or sad or both or neither, but just hearing the language out loud causes such a visceral reaction for him that he can’t help it. It’s the first time in a while he’s caught himself thinking, I miss my mom.
