lets be honest here, no matter how many compliments kevin has gotten in his life, he never ever gets used to them, especially if they’re about anything other than exy or his looks. anytime anyone compliments how smart he is or says something nice about his outfit or personality or whatever, he turns as red as a goddamn tomato and you know it. and the cutest thing is he’d like ?? try to hide it ??? but he’s blushing. i know it you know it oprah winfrey knows it obama knows it the aliens know it. we all know it.
GOD why do people always overlook the way Kevin cared for Neil and Andrew like yes he had ONE obsession and ONE goal in the world but ???? He still had space in his heart for more!!!
Need I remind you that Kevin was willing to teach Neil every single night even though he knew Neil planned to die at the end of the year? That he told Neil he’d watch him if he wanted to drink so that he could let go for a while? That he believed in Neil’s talent 100% and wanted him to have a bright future?
Need I remind you how it was Kevin who first showed Andrew he was good for something? Who made him have the tiniest bit of hope that life wasn’t going to be a never-ending cycle of “waking up, wanting to die, going to sleep, waking up again”? That it was Kevin who put his life, his career, his survival on Andrew’s hand with almost-blind trust? Who gave Andrew purpose?
Kevin day cares SO. MUCH. And yes, Exy was going to be his #1 priority always, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t care about anything or anyone else. He cared about Andrew and he cared about Neil and they cared about him too. STOP OVERLOOKING THAT.
hc that the fandom usually makes oikawa this self-centered, arrogant ho who LOVES taking selfies but that couldn’t be further from the truth? in reality oikawa’s just as or even more insecure than the other characters. his camera roll even shows that he loves his nephew more than pictures of himself. he constantly pushes and overworks himself, blinded by his own thoughts of having to defeat ushiwaka, surpass tobio-chan, etc. he puts on a charming, confident smile for his fans but later, when he’s alone with iwaizumi, he pours everything out. iwa is the only person to really take him seriously, not as a competitor or a superior, but as a friend. iwa’s aggressive comments aren’t there to make him feel worse, but are literally words to force oikawa into believing in his talented, powerful, intelligent, and caring self.
he worked SO HARD and pushed himself to his limits to defeat karasuno. he hardly sleeps and got injured, but would do it all for volleyball. he’s such a talented and dedicated player with a dream of defeating his longtime rival, ushiwaka, but it all got crushed by the team of his former kouhai: someone he envies too. that match against karasuno was his last to prove that going to aoba johsai wasn’t a mistake. he was so close to meeting his rival again on the court, only to be defeated before that chance. he’s no doubt one of the most talented and smart people who deserved to experience more and go to nationals. nothing would make him happier than his efforts not being wasted.
also, the fact that the last point of karasuno was because oikawa tried to receive the ball but failed is DEVASTATING. if it had worked, he could have saved his team and his pride. he could do so much more; he was incredible as a player and was a great person in general as he was able to bring out the best in whatever team he was on. he was SO CLOSE to winning and he exerted so much, god, in playing volleyball, a sport he genuinely loved. oikawa tooru deserved to go to nationals and more and u can fuckin fite me on this if u disagree
also he and iwa are going to different universities which means that oikawa doesn’t have anyone he can really trust to get him out of a tight spot. iwa was his go-to person to set to when the receive was off or their opponents were particularly hard to play against. his volleyball career may not be over, and god i hope it isn’t, but he will never feel that same comfort again when playing as compared to when he was with the person he trusted most.
tl;dr oikawa tooru deserves better and his efforts shouldn’t have gone to waste
It took a while but it’s finally done.

You know what I hate? That Nora is still out there. Acting like Kevin would still be an alcoholic who gets smashed on his birthday instead of eating burnt toast his daughter made him for breakfast in bed and trying to brush off all the glitter off his shirt from the card she made just for him.
Nora doesnt have custody of Kevin anymore. I do. The tea is Kevin gave up alcohol years before becoming a father and he has his daughter’s card framed and keeps it in his locker at court.
Praying to the minor god, Adam Parrish for a smooth school year.
so Nicky’s in the bank withdrawing some money for groceries or something and he almost faints.
He and Eric were not poor at all, Eric’s job paid well and Nicky’s own job wasn’t too shabby.
But there was no way they had accumulated this much money without either of them noticing. It was an obscene amount.
Nicky spends the next hour talking with Erik over the phone, hashing out their deposits and their withdrawals together and they come to the conclusion that it must be a mistake.
So Nicky goes to the bank teller who leads him to one of the bankers and they determine that someone else deposited the money, someone whose named Andrew Minyard.
Half a world away, Andrew picks up his phone to his cousin sounding confused.
“Andrew you accidentally deposited a shitload of money in our account, how do we send it back?”
“No, that was on purpose. Keep it.”
“What?”
So Andrew thinks he gets paid way too much for what he’s doing.
He’s just smacking a ball around with a stick.
Even though he is more invested in the sport now, cares more, that’s still not a whole lot.
So on his free time, he calculated the cost of taking care of him and Aaron for the time Nicky had.
And sent the money over.
The moment Nicky heard this he started crying.
So now Andrew has Nicky crying on the phone, for what has to be the second time since they separated.
Nicky has to explain that not only do they not need the money, but Andrew also doesn’t need to pay for anything Nicky gave him and that him taking care of Aaron and Andrew wasn’t a transaction or a deal. It was just him loving them and trying to let them have a less shitty childhood than they already had.
It takes a lot of Andrew grunting not happily and Nicky sniffling and even putting Eric on the line to convince Andrew.
So now what do they do with the money?
They agree to donate it
Half goes to charities that help abused kids get help
Half goes to a charity that’s working to ban conversion therapy and help lgbt kids
So they have to hang up, cause Andrew was to go to practice soon and Nicky has to go figure out that much money
Before they hang up Andrew goes quiet and Nicky thinks that he already hung up before
“Nicky.”
Nicky pays close attention, sure that he’s going to try to convince him again or something
“Thank you.”
Andrew immediately hangs up and Nicky wants to cry again
