Mistake789 - My Blogue

If you have about two mins please read this:

I just want to go ahead and throw this out there: as a fandom, we all are here because at one point or another we picked up AFTG for the first time and could never put it back down again.

We all love Nora. We all respect her. We all are very excited about many things for a multitude of reasons. As we should be because holy shit did we get some news today!

And yet some of us are already bickering over contradicting opinions. Please listen to me:

If you’re not excited for the two books focusing on Kevin, that’s ok. Say your piece and move on. Or! Discuss it with someone. Don’t just sit and argue. We’re years away and you don’t have to commit to those books in the slightest.

Or if you’re in one ship tag and another ship is tagged there that you don’t like— ok. Just scroll or tap away. It is a little frustrating when it isn’t what you’re looking for but no one is making you read it. Especially if you disagree with it.

We got some fantastic news from Nora barely 12 hours ago and I already see posts bashing the people that still like/want kerejean or the people who still think jerejean will get married in the next book, this and that and etc.

People. It takes significantly less effort to just swipe away than it does to call someone else out on what they believe/want. I’m not trying to add to the negativity with this; I’m saying let us all say what we want to say.

We do not have to agree with each other. No fandom does. I don’t have to agree with you and vice versa— neither of us has to agree with person C playing the banjo in the corner, or with the random cat smoking a pipe on the subway. Do you see what I’m trying to say?

We can disagree. And we no doubt will because the next book is probably going to be released in 2026. We have six and a half months until we roll into the next release year. There’s going to be banter and discussions but the point I’m trying to make is we don’t need to argue.

The entire core focus of All For The Game is what? Found family. It’s in the Foxes. And the Trojans. Even the Ravens if you squint hard enough at their shared trauma.

At the end of the day we’re all still fans of the same thing for one reason or another, plus the angsty trauma Nora has inflicted on us over the years. We are our own little found family. On here, and on TikTok, Twitter, Reddit— etc.

Let’s try to spend the next yearish talking and discussing and brainstorming without telling each other that the other person is wrong, or what they say doesn’t make sense— or worst of all that what they’re saying doesn’t matter.

Not saying not to contradict each other. But do it in a way where we’re all still respected. Sing the Barney “I love you” song. Play the ABC game. Whatever it takes to keep us separate as individuals in how we think and what we hope for, but still pulled together as a community.

We have an incredible one and a long time left with each other. And I love you all.

cannot wait for kevin’s 15 pages-long essay of jeremy appreciation in his book

i think in order to understand what goes on in my head u first have to understand that all my aftg-related thoughts have to go through a kevin day filter before i can even say them to myself. is this kevin day friendly. is this kevin day unfriendly in an interesting way. is this about kevin day in some way. can i make this about kevin day in some way

i find it so attractive that jean and kev were speaking french at the interview and immediately upon learning that someone there also spoke french they switched to japanese. i know the in universe exy fangirls are foaming at the mouth right now

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

My first post on Tumblr in all these years and it's just to say that I FELL IN LOVE with Kevin in tgr. I never really cared about him in the previous books but I got SO interested in him with all the info we got !!! And watching him from Jean's and Jeremy's pov was definitely the change (I love Neil, but I really needed to see the characters from an outsider pov)

Now I'm obsessed with Kevin and don't know what to do with that😭 guess I'll re-read all the books to focus on every single detail and then wait for Nora to feed us some more🥹🫶🏻 hope we see more of him in the 3book and maybe in some other book focused on him? I really NEED to know more about his childhood in the nest !!!! I NEED more about his relationships with Riko and Jean. I NEED MORE !!!!!!!!!!!

(And I really believe that he won't be with Thea much longer, I thought it was just wishful thinking but now I really think that he needs more life outside of exy/ravens? and I feel like Nora could follow that path. I can't imagine Thea changing her mind about the ravens, so I think Kevin will need some distance from her before actually recovering. He needs to process everything, his conversation with jean about trauma and riko made me understand a lot more about him. It actually made me starting to see him!! I didn't focus on him before but now... 👀)

i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.

I have an insane need to see Kevin Day start healing in a way where his healing journey looks like him learning to do things on his own and be comfortable with himself. I want to see him start acquiring skills like pokemon that he just randomly breaks out one day and everyone is like ???? since when do you fucking ice skate Kevin wtf??? It's not that he's necessarily keeping them a secret it's more that he just does them. He learns to play piano. He starts doing things he wants to do, just to simply do them. He finds that life is in fact enjoyable outside of exy (but don't get it twisted it is still his life) but let Kevin Day fall a little in love with life after everything please and thank you
