Why is no one talking about the fact that Jean's brain short circuited when he saw Jeremy with his hair dyed and instead of finishing his sentence he just went "blonde" like the sucker he is. Because that is one of the next to best scenes in the whole book everyone can fight me it was hilarious.

it’s kind of wonderful to watch Jeremy handle Jean’s trauma because the foxes are so used to each other being fucked up and problematic that when blood spills out of Neil’s locker and he says that he doesn’t want to talk about it they go okay fucked up but sure. Jeremy is so insistent with Jean’s issues and thinks that he just needs to talk about it and pushes and pushes and just begs him to tell him what’s going on. Because that’s the world of trauma he’s used to. He’s used to a problem shared is a problem halfed and being a shoulder to cry on that when Jean says “I’m traumatised” he thinks, “talking about it will make you feel better.”

He handles Jeans trauma with this messy heavy hand and he means so well but his version of trauma, his perspective on trauma is so far removed from the trauma the foxes or the ravens are used to. Every single minute detail Jean reveals is shocking and insane and fucked up and he’s barely scraping the surface. How do you tell someone who thinks you can talk through your problems that you’re afraid of water because you were waterboarded, or that you are so used to your body being used that it’s no longer that Jean feels as if he deserves his abuse, it’s no longer that he thinks his punishments were normal. They are facts. They are core unmoving beliefs so ingrained in him they are set into his skin like the tattoo on his cheek. They’re going nowhere. Jeremy will never understand that, and every thing Jean tells him disturbs him more than the last. He’s so empathetic and compassionate - I think if Jean told him the truth, it would destroy him. It would destroy his spirit, his belief in others, his faith in kindness. It would make him angry. It would make it impossible not to annihilate the Ravens for what they did in the dirtiest, meanest way possible.

And I cannot wait to watch that all happen.

in honour of tsc i bring back one of my favorite jean moments aka his reaction to the riko roast

The rise of in-universe memes in the aftg fandom lately has been the best thing to happen aside from tsc. Day bless each and every one of you making them

There are many things in TSC that fuck me up, but I think the Neil & Jean of it all is actually what keeps circling around in my brain. "Destined partners" --- like what the FUCK. And not in a "Neil would have been Jean" way because I don't think that's quite true (like fundamentally, I think Jean is a lot... kinder than Neil who is feral but I DISGRESS), its that even though they didn't end up partners as was planned, in the end, they still kind of did? Jean protected Neil when he was in the nest. Zane, who wants to be his partner, betrays Jean with Grayson and Neil kills Grayson the minute he hears about him.

Their personalities and reactions to trauma are so different, but they share a destiny because of being children sold to the Moriyamas. Unlikely survivors who somehow outlast their tormentors.

all these outside perspectives with the reporters and the trojans in the sunshine court got me wondering how the world would just implode if the Moriyamas got exposed

I keep seeing people ask if there’s a second book after TSC and like…are we not reading the same book. Are you not on tumblr.com, where the author posts updates and almost nothing else so it is extremely easy to find this information. Did you think she revealed nothing but a bread crumb trail about Jeremy just to say fuck you and never follow up.

I am genuinely confused about HOW MANY of these posts I’m seeing every single day. Please use your brains and think for just a second. Do one minute of searching for the answer. Hello?

Family Line is still very much Neil's song, but I dont think I'll be able to listen to the end of the line "I have my father's eyes, but my sisters when I cry," without thinking of Jean anymore.

“This and that happened in the drafts” 30k+ posts, 3 mobs of protesters ravishing the internet, 120 injured, 56 killed

The pool scene. Hey Nora, why don't you twist that angst knife a little deeper into my guy? Yeah just right there. Get it all out.

only jeremy knox would chicken out of frosted tips and decide the less extreme option is bleaching his entire head

“What kind of person bites people in a fight?”

“Drake was not a biter, then"

I did genuinely think USC was fictional like Palmetto is
