my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG
jeremy knox really hit it all!
- dead brother
- not one but TWO asshole fathers
- suicide attempt
- cocaine
- gay
I found this so endearing even though I know it’s because my boy was literally like too busy getting waterboarded to learn what weed is 🤦♀️
Everybody is talking about how Jean called Wymack and Rhemann his fathers, but nobody is talking about how his first reaction to that thought was to be so embarrassed at himself that he fully reached for the door handle to fling himself out of Jeremy’s car on the highway
i am burdened with knowledge about maggie stiefvater's bestselling young adult fantasy series the raven cycle
I think we as a community don't recognize how funny the first confrontation scene in The Foxhole Court is. Like we talk about how absolutely confused Kevin must have been and how the sudden language shift was wild and how Aaron and Nicky are just O.O over the quiet new kid losing his shit.
But Neil runs into the room (picking the lock with ease, mind you) guns blazing, threatens Kevin, calls him a slur and a "deadweight has-been", then turns and fucking runs. Like... doesn't even put up a pretense of a physical fight, just books it and slams the door closed like that's going to make a difference. The mental image of Neil Josten sprinting out the room like a thirteen year old who just pissed off his older sibling and is about to employ the kicking method is too good for us not to recognize.
