i wish you guys could read the amazing fic i haven't written and probably will never write, it's fire

Can someone come help me with laundry and cleaning my room? My executive dysfunction won’t let me do it unless I at least have a body double.

I lied to you. we're not going to have sex, we're going to fold your laundry and clean your room

This man can’t be fixed. I can fuck him though. Maybe that will calm him down.

hey friendly reminder that exy is just a coping mechanism for kevin. the same way neil goes on runs so he doesn’t ACTUALLY run away. the same way jean distracts himself with a million different hobbies so he doesn’t have to think about his past.

i’m sick of seeing people talk about “the only thing kevin loved is exy”…untrue. he plays constantly because it’s the only thing he knows HOW to do. playing well was the reason he survived the nest, and it’s the only thing he had left when he finally ran away. he’s strict with neil’s training because for him, it was be great or don’t play at all. the same thing as helping your partner play well so you both succeed. for him, teaching exy is something intimate, almost.

so does he love it? sure, maybe. his mom created it after all. but you can’t look at his relationship with andrew—someone he trusted to keep him safe even though the people he trusted before only ended up hurting him. with neil—who he taught to play well so they could succeed together, even though he knew neil couldn’t stay. with wymack—who’s team he joined and made great so everyone would start giving wymack the appreciation he deserves instead of saying his team is a publicity stunt. with abby—the first (parental?) figure to treat him kindly since his mother died. you can’t look at his relationship with all of them and try to convince me he doesn’t care. not when he stayed and built all of those bonds.

mr. pipe dream and his 5’0 goalkeeper boyfriend. whatever

jeremy: *looking sad because he thinks he fucked up by getting too close to jean*

jean: (how can i fix this so that jeremy stops looking sad?)

jean: marry me

neil’s not allowed to talk to the press anymore bc the last time he did they asked him his thoughts about trojan v foxes games and he says “i think any games with the foxes and trojans competing against each other should be legally classified as gay porn”

How is one this talented? This is literally amazing omg.

Infinite baths

Washing over me at last

neil rlly does spend a lot of time insulting andrew's height in tfc for a guy who is 3 inches taller and also cant see the top of the fridge / reach the top cupboard / be at other people's eye level

Andrew has figured out the best way to stop a fight on the court.

idrk what makes a good exy player. every single one of the best players abuse like at least two substances, get their cardio in by means of video games and fucking, eat like shit, and have on average 2.5 panic attacks a day. either a relatively normal lifestyle would be a massive advantage or exy is a sport that needs to be played while living in peak chaos. and ig the results speak for themselves

Hear me out- If Kevin wasn’t good at exy he wouldn’t have survived. His love for it is partly a survival tactic. Him teaching other people and making them better- in his eyes- is protecting them. He is teaching them how to “survive.”

There was something else I was gonna add to this but I forgot as I was typing… oops.

I think Kevin’s love language is chronically misunderstood. Him wanting to train others and making them the best at the sport that means the world to him is like a love confession. Like people. Can’t you see how he’s letting you into his precious and broken little exy heart. Exy is what kept him alive during the Nest. He’s just trying to give others that same comfort and joy.

It’s the equivalent to a child coming up to you telling you all about their favorite topic. They feel joy about it so they want to share that with you. You may not be interested or find the same joy that they do but it’s an effort to include people in their happiness. And Kevin is trying to do just that

Nicky, sweetheart… you can’t act surprised when it was right in front of you the entire time.

Despite all appearances, I know for a fact that Neil is not the stupidest character in the series bc Nicky’s cousin was in the back room making out with Roland every time they went to Eden’s Twilight for YEARS also never dated or showed interest in any girls and never once did Nicky gay-as-fuck-all Hemmick think Andrew could’ve been gay.

I adore this man but he’s dumb as shit.

This is the most surface level thought about Even In Arcadia but I really appreciate that the songs are long.

Artists are writing shorter and shorter songs to compete in the attention economy and are even writing based around a short snippet they hope will go viral on TikTok.

The shortest song on Even In Arcadia is Past Self at 3:35. A full 5 songs are over 6 minutes long.

Sleep Token, who *had* that taste of viral TikTok fame themselves, looked at current trends in music and went "hmm. No thank you."

Andrew leaves Neil alone for two seconds, and Neil somehow uncovers his most mortifying secret: "What does Roland mean you’d tie me down, Andrew?". He should have known better than to let Neil roam free

“Take me back to Eden” but it was never Eden. It was always Gethsemane. “I was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other.” He romanticized that relationship until he broke his own heart AND ONCE AGAIN HE IS JUST LIKE ME FOR. REAL.

Some of y'all genuinely hate dudes and honestly, that's super cringe

I think people don't actually know what Andrew means when he says he hates Neil. He doesn't mean he actually hates Neil, that'd be an obvious lie. He means he hates that he wants Neil, when everything else he's ever wanted has turned to ash under his touch. He means he hates Neil because feeling apathetic about everything and everyone is much less painful than finding out you actually do care. He hates Neil because Neil gives him something to live for and when you've lived years on survival mode you'll find that living is much harder than dying.

Hey has anyone mentioned how the Even In Arcadia art has the inverted colors of a typical garden? (green leaves all that) or how Emergence starts with

"Well, you were laid in verse"

in verse. inverse. pink and green being inversions of eachother. also the house/host thing

also in Euclid

"Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry A parallel I would lay my life on"

Reverse symmetry- like a mirror, like an inversion

i dunno. just a thought

Need you guys to know I am soooo anti generative AI. In case that wasn't clear. It's bad for the environment, unethical, theft, and will never be as freaky as me. It is inferior in every way

Clone trooper round up!!!!! I now have over 30 clones and I can only post 30 images in a tumblr post so let’s see how this goes. If your fave clone isn’t here, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. Shop is here. (And yes, they're all 30% off right now for May the 4th!)

Shop is here. Love y'all!

Without giving spoilers for the album: Sleep Token can do whatever the fuck they want musically and it's a privilege to be listening to them as they release the music they want to make. I genuinely believe that in a few years we'll look back on them as one of the pioneers of the death of genre

Tourbus Tour

(They all have the same buses, so this is perfect for fanfic reference purposes js👀)

They should block chatgpt on uni WiFi the way they used to block coolmathgames

vessel you need to tell me right now it only lists sleep token as the performer can you play the violin just like Eddie Berg from Imminence???? sleep token violincore I love you. Emergence told us who did the saxophone solo but no mention for the violin on Even in Arcadia

“You never saw me naked. You wouldn’t even touch me. Except if you were wasted.”

Vessel, baby, my love, give me a name. Tell me who it was. I just want to have a conversation.

"Apologising for shit that frankly I stopped thinking of years ago"

happy Sleep Token to all who celebrate ♡

hc that someone develops a crush on neil and make their intentions of stealing him clear for Andrew. like they straight up turns at Andrew to say "he will be mine"

Andrew's answer is a bored tilt of his head with an unimpressed "try"

And not try as a threat, but as the cockiest challenge ever: try to hold Neil's attention for 5 minutes, try to ease his Andrew-obsession, try make Neil look away from Andrew when they are in the same room, try to make Neil stop taking a picture of every single thing that Andrew does because he will want to look at it later. try.

Making posts about aftg is so funny because the characters live lives of such epic proportion that I feel like I have to first name last name them. I'm not calling the self-proclaimed queen of a fictional sport kevin. That is Kevin Day. The name just has weight. Neil Josten went to great lengths to claim his damn name. Jean Moreau is taking active steps daily to shift the meaning that his name holds positively. Jeremy Knox existed for years in collective imagination, yes for his personality, but also, I'm sure, it's cause that name is just weighty.

But then there's Andrew, who is so important to the fandom that he lives in a different realm of notoriety in my head. I just say, Andrew. Like one just says Zendaya.
