Things that are not funny but are also hilarious
Jean “damn him for looking just as good as a blond as he did a brunette” Moreau
Jeremy “forgot everything else he could have said in favor of staring. It was the first time he’d heard Jean say his name. Hearing it in Jean’s accent put a wicked flutter in his stomach.” Knox
Jean “noticed the flick of his gaze over Jean’s face and down to his shirt: the deep blue top Jeremy had seemed so taken with yesterday.” Moreau
Jeremy “It was more endearing than it should be, and Jeremy hid a smile against his long-empty mug whenever Jean got particularly rude.” Knox
Jean “The sound of his language on Jeremy’s lips was enough to give Jean pause. He counted his heartbeats as he studied Jeremy’s face, committing the textbook-perfect sounds to memory” Moreau
Jeremy “it wasn’t the words that set his heart tripping; It was the heavy satisfaction in his tone that put a needy heat in Jeremy’s stomach.” Knox (all because Jean said he was very good.)
Jean “and like Kevin had accused him, Jean had been ultimately more interested in the accompanying photographs than whatever the text might have said.” Moreau
Jeremy “he couldn’t look away again. He watched colored lights dance off the sun-reddened cheeks until Jean finally caught him at it.” Knox
Jean “Jeremy’s smile was slow and radiant, and Jean had to look away.” Moreau
Jeremy “I’m not learning French for anyone but you” Knox
Jean “It makes you more interesting. Not your capacity for unkindness, but how fiercely you fight against it.” Moreau
Jeremy “It was enough to get Jean’s undivided attention, at least until Jeremy peeled his tank top off. Jean immediately found something else to stare at, like he always did when Jeremy was in varying stages of undress. It was horrifically inappropriate fighting for Jean’s attention like this, Jeremy knew.” Knox
Jean “didn’t have to look at Jeremy to know he was smiling, he could practically feel the warmth radiating off his captain” Moreau
Jeremy “would be lucky to know his own name when Jean was standing between his legs like this.” Knox
Jean “Fuck what I deserve. What about what I want? Moreau
Jeremy “Jean’s fingers on his neck killed his train of thought” Knox
Jean “I am not sorry. Perhaps I should be. But I will choose you every time. You, and Cat, and Laila, every time. I will lose them all if I must.” Moreau
Jeremy “What little Jeremy heard went way over his head; he knew nothing about motorcycles, and Jean was more interesting by far.” Knox
Jean “Brown like the gaze that sought Jean out in every room.” Moreau
💕 Jean “Tell Kevin to stay out of it” Moreau 💕
not that anyone asked but the way my brain works means that any time i read anything, i am piecing together every room, every house, and every space. i need to create an image in my head so i can see the characters in it and see how they interact with the space. except it’s always vague and sometimes a throw-away line places a window or a wall where i didn’t think it was and i have to redo the entire space in my head…… it’s a struggle but after so many times rereading aftg, i have a pretty solid idea
this is just a long way of saying i have decided to take what’s in my head and make it into reality and i have made floor plans for aftg lol
so far, i have done the foxes’ dorm (both how i think the entire floor is laid out and each of their three rooms), wymack’s apartment, and abby’s house. i plan on doing the cali places later, don’t even worry
of course tumblr is corrupting the quality but in my head there are five rooms to each side of the hall and the stairs are right next to the monsters' room. that stray white box is an elevator supposedly.... i had no idea how or where the elevator should be so i just kinda threw it there, don't laugh. and we know the soccer kids live on their floor so they have the rooms across the hall
i placed everything based on descriptions gathered from the first four books (thank you jean for telling us they do in fact have stoves even if they are just two burners). i gave kevin's desk an extra monitor to watch games on lol and andrew has to be by a window to smoke out of it. also, the beds are bunked. i know this looks big but it was hard to get the spacing right..........
for the girls, i mirrored the monsters' room because i know that piping tends to make apartments laid out so kitchens or bathrooms are back to back with your neighbors. they also get a fancy extra chair and a bigger tv bc allison is rich and you can't tell me their room wouldn't have the nicest furniture. i feel like dan would have the bottom bunk, renee the top, and allison the lone lofted bed but that's just me lol
we know matt and neil shoved their three desks by the windows and in my head, matt and neil's bunk is on the left while seth's lofted bed is on the right. and matt and neil have their dressers underneath seth's bed and his is by the window
this was actually interesting because we know that the front door is out of sight from the doorway of the study and that there are windows in the living room so i put in this turn to the hall. again, the space looks huge here but that's mainly because i didn't want to have to shrink and rearrange all the walls over and over again
abby's was the hardest by far. i went back and scoured the books for more information about her house because i was struggling and have struggled with it since my first read through. we know that there is a doorway to the kitchen (so i couldn't give her the open floor plan i wanted) and that the bedroom jean stayed in was just down the hall from the bathroom. i ended up giving abby her own master bath just because i felt like it but i have no idea if that is canon. and the hall bath seemed too large so i put in a laundry room randomly but whatever. we also know she has a two car driveway so i made the shape of the house a little funky. and in my head, during summer break aaron and nicky stay in one bedroom and andrew and kevin are in the other one. i put kandrew in the bedroom down the hall because it is farther from the front door and andrew would like that imo. that is also the bedroom jean is in after renee takes him from evermore. and of course she needed a huge dining room table to fit everyone
ANYWAY, if you made it this far i am surprised and thank you for entertaining this. i can also share all the passages i used to piece together these floor plans cause they are all bookmarked but that felt like too much to include here and i doubt anyone cares. feel free to debate wall placements in the comments, i would love to talk to you about it as you can probably tell
and if literally anyone is interested, i can and will make these in the sims and then they will be real cute and colorful floor plans. i will probably do it anyway for my own enjoyment but whether i post them is up in the air

love at first sight
two separate people texted me to say that one of my favorite music artists was at my campus today. love to have a legacy but WHATTTTT. HELLO. and i wasn’t there?!?!?! today is really not my day for sanity because what the fuckkkkkkkk i am losing my mind
need to take my heart out and give it a little rinse under cold water
every time someone draws fem Andrew and Neil an angel gains its wings and then gets given a thank you letter from god personally to pass on to the creators for doing gods work for them 🙏🏻
oh butch transmasc andrew minyard… oh save me. oh he has glasses and piercings (especially an anti-eyebrow) and acne scars and he’s chubby and he lifts so; much. he lifts so heavy. butch andrew minyard who wears black compression shirts and cargo pants and steel-toed boots. leather butch andrew minyard hanky and carabiner code butch andrew minyard. butch andrew minyard with hands tats and blackout tattoos when he’s older and and and. bitten lips and nails butch andrew minyard i’m blushing
having autism is so annoying sometimes because tell me why i have not been able to enjoy listening to music all weekend
my brain wants the familiarity of songs i know backwards and forwards but nothing in my liked songs will satisfy the itch because they’re not new but i cannot listen to a new song because i don’t yet know it but i can never know it without listening to it ughhhhhh
sorry but can i just say how hilarious it is that neil ended up on the foxes who have bright, obnoxious orange uniforms and is from baltimore where the O’s (their baseball team) have bright, obnoxious orange and white as their colors too. and neil fucking hates baseball. and yet……..
