TWISTED BY THE PEOPLE'S THIEVES IS SO EXTREMELY NEIL CODED THAT I'VE BEEN FULL-ON HALLUCINATING AN ANIMATIC

TWISTED BY THE PEOPLE'S THIEVES IS SO EXTREMELY NEIL CODED THAT I'VE BEEN FULL-ON HALLUCINATING AN ANIMATIC FOR IT AND I INTEND TO BE INSUFFERABLE ABOUT IT

okay, I'll now proceed to tell you line for line why this song is Neil

It starts out strong with what I want to believe is Neil who has just lost his mother but still hears her voice and tries to follow her rules

This to me is Andrew calming Neil after a panic attack. Why? Good question.

Literally Neil's situation after accepting to be with the foxes even though he knows the risks and he's paranoid and scared as fuck to be found. Also I'm in love with the picture this verse paints of Neil on a tightrope, shaking , trying to get to the other side without falling in the abyss where his demons await

Andreil? Andreil.

First three lines immediately make me hallucinate of Neil getting closer and closer to the edge of the roof as he gets in deeper and deeper shit with the mafia but you know who's also on the roof ? you guessed it, it's Andrew Minyard holding onto his rabbit's shirt with a white knuckled grip, absolutely refusing to let him fall. Then the other two lines to me refer to exy. At the end of the day is Neil's love , drive and passion for this sport a gift or a curse?

And if I say Neil fighting between wanting to stay and needing to run am I stretching it too thin?

They'll hold me ( foxes ) , they wanna own me ( ravens ) , but in the end he always feels alone , nothing, he doesn't belong anywhere

He should tell Kevin and the foxes no, he should but he waits too long and now he loves them, he can't bear to leave them, he waits too long and now they're in danger because of him

Okay this whole part is Neil being watched by Nathan & co and then kidnapped, alone in the dark basement with the ghosts of those who died there before him but the last part SCREAMS Neil thinking about the foxes and mentally saying goodbye to them and the person he was with them

Back to my hallucinations for the animatic right after "hold " there's a little pause in the song and I believe that everything should go dark and we as an audience wonder whether Neil died in the basement or not

Then the song start again and Neil is back and he's broken and bandaged but alive alive alive and runs towards his foxes. Yay :)

Okay insanity over , if you read the whole thing consider your forehead kissed by me. Byee

Absolutely dying over all this.

The way they're all inherently flawed. The way everyone is selfish. The way everyone's a hypocrite. The way everyone judges a killer whilst being a killer themselves. Actually dying oh my stars-

Yes yes yes a hundred times yes to all of these but specifically the first one. I like when Andreil says I love you in fics because I personally am a words of affirmation kind of gal but I also clearly understand that it's not really them. It doesn't suit them much and they don't need it.

Also calling each other partner is beautiful 10/10 no notes only brainrot

My secrets are out, here are my Headcanon Subcriptions:

I think Andreil don't say "I love you", or if they ever do they do it like once and never again. Because in reality they say it every day, they just don't use those words. But they know. They understand. They hear it. And they bask in it. It never needed to be in a universal tongue for them to speak it so fluently together.

I think Andreil get married. And not for "I wanna be your husband" reasons but for "if they stop me from visiting your dumb ass in the hospital one more time I will knife someone and then you'll have to fight for the right to visit me in prison and then I'll have to fight for the right to share a cell with you after you run your mouth right into some handcuffs" reasons. They probably secretly bask in the sentimentality later on, but it was all utility first.

I think Andreil never use the word "boyfriend". They might not even use "husband" unless necessary for a legal technicality. I think, if anything, they use "partner". It's got the vibes. Partners in crime. Life partners. It reeks of commitment that doesn't require a signed paper and a witness.

No, I don't want an aftg movie. However, picture this...

A cinematic scene of Andrew running to find Neil's things after the riot and staring at the zero on the screen with a mortified expression, with music gradually building up, and then cutting to Neil's gut-wrenching screams as his face gets burned in the car.
