Honestly there's a lot of crazy things happening but through it all there's a strangely healthy and supportive relationship.
my favourite thing about all for the game has got to be the fact that the guy who spent three years in juvie, killed his mother and is on court-ordered mood stabilisers and the child of a serial killer who spent most of his life on the run and is also a pathological liar somehow manage to have the healthiest relationship i have ever read in a piece of media. literally wild
The King’s Game
I believe Riko plays cards while Kevin plays chess. The King is worth more than the Queen but Riko forgets the Ace (Neil) holds even more power
All the cards and what they’re supposed to represent
King of Spades (Riko)
Joker of Clubs (Jean)
Queen of Diamonds (Kevin)
3 of Diamonds (Andrew)
10 of Hearts (Neil Josten persona)
Ace of Hearts (Nathaniel/Abram/Neil)
King of Hearts (Nathan)
Details I did:
- Riko’s hand under the table, holding Nathan to symbolize him cheating/waiting to use the Butcher
- First drawing: Riko holding his perfect court (A for Nathaniel, Q for Kevin, J for Jean) while grinning at the bloody 10 (Neil) because even if he’s about to win with a royal flush (Ace, King, Queen, Joker, 10) he’s willing to cheat (Nathan under the table) but Riko is unaware that a royal flush needs to be of the same suits so his is just a straight (which isn’t enough for Riko)
- Second: Riko holding his incomplete perfect court (Nathaniel, Riko, Jean) he stares at the two remaining members he needs for his wrongly assumed royal flush (Andrew and Kevin) Riko intends to cheat to have his way so Nathan is hidden under the table
- Riko’s assumption for a royal flush is because it’s the highest value in poker. But since all of the cards are different suits (representing their individuality from the Nest) he’s only got a straight
- Neil would also be a wild card because royal flushes only have as much value without wild cards in a game (something Riko does not prepare for)
off-meds andrew has literally no chill remember when neil was like
“seth overdosed?”
and andrew just went “keep up with the conversation”
like somebody died andrew
This is awesome!!! The details! The symbolism!!!
