Please. Can We Please. This Is What I Want.

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

huge fan of when his smile looks like he's about to unleash absolute chaos:

andrew's sense of humor is greatly underrated imo

like this moment was objectively hilarious

"if you're going to play dealer who do we have in goal second half?"

wymack looked at andrew. andrew looked over his shoulder as if checking for a third goalkeeper.

Being a bad writer but also being a daydreamer is SO annoying because I'm like "omg how fun I should create that" and then I CAN'T.

Anyway thinking about how Neil never really showed his (covered) scars to the public then when he's pro he gets talked into doing a photoshoot or one of those sexy calendars or whatevs and people get to actually see his scars for the first time. Something something dealing with prying interviewers, rabid fans, et cetera until Andrew kisses it better.

“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.

Kevin saying Jean and him aren’t friends and then immediately sending Jean a postcard and Jean saying ‘I hate him’ and then immediately hanging it up above his desk.

I, for one, like Roman numerals.

if aftg happened in the 2020s i just know jeremy would make jean make that tiktok to GUY.exe by superfruit where it goes “six feet tall and super strong”

How long does it take someone isolated from other people to go insane? Asking for myself.

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."
