ok so me and @happyminyards were talking about neil constantly tweeting quotes from andrew but never saying who the quotes were from and how the media/exy fandom would be going crazy trying to figure out who neil’s dating and now i have Thoughts and anyway let’s go:
- because it has already been established neil and andrew have a lot of profound lines and can be romantic fuckers when they want to be
- and sometimes neil is so Overcome by the things andrew says to him he needs to yell abt it
- but he doesn’t really know how to especially bc they’re both quite private people and they haven’t shared their relationship w the media yet
- so he just tweets a line here and there and it’s almost like an outlet
- andrew always rolls his eyes or makes a snide comment when he sees the tweets but he never tells neil to stop so neil doesn’t think he minds
- besides neil is capital G Gone for andrew so he thinks everything andrew says is hilarious/clever/beautiful and he wants the world to know
- and it’s kind of a subtle/pointed way of reminding the foxes andrew isn’t a monster in the early days
- anyway
- so these quotes range from andrew’s commentary when they’re forced to watch one of nicky’s movie choices:
- “I would rather carve the skin from my body with a rusty spoon than watch ten more minutes of this bullshit”
- to quiet, inadvertently sweet in their own andrew way, little comments:
- “of course I’m up here with you, you’re the only mildly tolerable person within a fifty mile radius”
- one day it’s just “173%”
- and this keeps happening pretty frequently, usually every couple of days – sometimes twice a day if andrew’s comments are particularly noteworthy
- (though lbr as far as neil is concerned everything about andrew is noteworthy always)
