i like seeing neil slowly opening up not just with his literal trust, but with the way he talks. it's not just "yes"/"no" when he's asked a question, he now elaborates and i think that's wonderful

"resident punching bag and his smart mouth" is the Only proper way of addressing neil in tkm

the rainbow heels make an appearence. allison? a bi icon

i need you to know that "Is your learning curve a horizontal line?" is one of my top favpirite quotes in the series

"Neil wasn't sure why he [...] stuck [Andrew's cigarette] between his lips." you know why. boy. you Know

kevin: shows empathy and care for neil's mental state by offering emotional support since they both survived the monster that riko is

neil: what... the fuck are you suggesting what the Fuck

"I've got Andrew's with me, too. Actually I got you two the same thing because you are like the most impossible people in the world to buy for." that's it. that's the tweet

NEIL LETS NICKY HUG HIM NEIL LETS NICKY HUG HIM NEIL- this is a HISTORICAL moment i love it so much please im,

here is just one instance of neil thinking somewhat positively (i mean uh a bit more positive than plain neutral) about aaron so no one has the right to say neil hates aaron. this is the law

why does reading about neil's appearance make me tear up WHY like. i know why, it's because i love this boy like i'd love my own son, but. why

"She liked gay men. And they liked her. She had [...] amassed a little gay fan club at the university, [...] So Joyce couldn't be homophobic. But gay women... [...] She just didn't get it." - the same Educated White Woman. truly a well-rounded character!

as a white woman, my only real hope is that i will never ever become This Type of white Educated (tm) woman who thinks she knows everything about every culture she studied, a semester each, and exlaims how "sad" must be the ways of the people who are not like her. i'm physically cringing, this is very well-portrayed.
