Tilda Minyard - Tumblr Posts
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
Does anyone know how long Andrew was with Aaron and Tilda before he killed her? Because I've read the series 3 times and I was convinced that it was never mentioned... until I was looking for something random in the first book and came across this:

(24+ years old (as in at some point during his professional Exy career but idk when): he qualifies for Court, they win gold at the Olympics)
That took quite a bit of research, but it was fun to make! Everything is confirmed through the books and the Extra Content. If there wasn't an exact year I put a range. Should I do a timeline for anyone else?
I didn’t go into details with the stuff in the books but I totally could. I already have a timeline of specific events with exact dates in the books if anyone is interested. Let me know and I'll post it!
