It's Valentines Day but it's also Ash Wednesday so uhh... some headcanons about that second thing.

Tilda wasn't super religious, but she'd drag Aaron to church every so often when he was growing up

After Tilda, Aaron doesn't actively practice religion much, but he'll do some things like get ashes on Ash Wednesday and observe lent

Nicky and Renee go to get their ashes together every year with a silent Aaron grumpily tagging along

They go in the morning after morning work out, but before their classes start, so once afternoon practice is over, they all end up with just a smudge of black on their foreheads

After living with Aaron and Nicky and a few other Christian households over the years, Andrew has gotten into the habit of not eating meat on Fridays during lent

Abby is also Christian, but she doesn't go to Church much and gets her ashes at a separate time than the Foxes

During lent, Abby will sometimes invite the Foxes over to her house for a seafood dinner on Fridays

Abby doesn't usually give anything up for lent, but Renee, Nicky and Aaron do

The girls' last year before they graduate, Renee gives up sweets for lent, and Andrew makes sure to eat twice the amount of candy around her just to be annoying

Nicky gives up alcohol and complains at least five times a day (and almost gives in on some particularly hard nights), but he manages to make it to the end without giving in

Andrew suggests that Aaron give up Katelyn for lent during a joint session with Bee, and he is not amused

Aaron ends up giving up video games, and he complains about it just as much as Nicky complains about the alcohol, but he also makes it to the end without giving in

Andrew walks into practice on Ash Wednesday and tells Wymack in a deadpan voice that he gave up exy for lent so he can't play. Wymack knows Andrew doesn't observe lent and makes him change out with everyone else, but Neil cracks up at the incredulous look Wymack has for the second before he calls Andrew out on it and that makes the extra lap (that Andrew doesn't actually do) worth it to Andrew

Neil makes a joke about Andrew giving up ice cream even though he knows Andrew doesn't officially observe lent, and Andrew doesn't talk to him for five hours out of spite

#i only briefly mentioned it but i have FEELINGS bout aaron passively practicing religion #like he grew up with it and now he'll do some things but he doesnt actively go to church or pray regularly or anything #not me projecting onto aaron again lol #but i feel like nicky would also be more passive than renee but less passive than aaron bc luther was much more religious #i like to think nicky came to peace with his religion even after growing up the way he did and being sent to a religious conversation camp #so he doesnt go to church every sunday but he still has faith #that's my hc for him #i also like the idea of other religious people on the team who dont really call any attention to it so i picked abby for this instance #im very much projecting into some of these hcs oops #oh well #aftg #all for the game #nicky hemmick #renee walker #aaron minyard #abby winfield #the foxes #andrew minyard #neil josten #andreil #nora sakavic #the foxhole court #aftg hc #aftg headcanon #all for the game headcanon #all for the game hc #also in high school i def made a joke about giving up the sport i played for lent to my coach and he found it funny
