The Foxes as more things my roommates said

Andrew: why bother with emotions when you can just be dead inside?
Kevin: I’m not obsessed with being perfect! It’s just that if I fail my life will be ruined and I might as well die.
Neil: (after suddenly passing out in the kitchen) why are you worried about me? Did my Mac and Cheese burn?
Nicky: Yeah sometimes life sucks and it’s hard to stay happy but whenever I’m feeling bad I just remind myself that things could be a lot worse – at least I’m not straight!
Aaron: Who left a dildo on my desk and in which way would you like to die?
Allison: Um excuse me who are you calling nice? I’m a bad bitch
Renee: I’m trying out this church thing so don’t call me unless someone is dying
Dan: I mean it’s weird because I’m a responsible adult with real duties and everything but I also spent last Saturday with my boyfriend going through costco in different disguises so we could get more free samples so I guess what I’m saying is adulthood is weird
Matt: (very drunk) do you think dogs know how much we love them? They gotta, right? Oh my god, do they know? I’ve got to find a dog right now.
Seth: Sometimes I think you guys forget I exist

palmettofoxden:

I cannot stop thinking about @local-astronaut‘s a look into Matt’s phone post and the “we love neil” chat gave me ideas.

  • Renee adds Andrew to the chat
  • Andrew doesn’t ever respond, but doesn’t block them or ask to leave the chat either
  • He just straight up doesn’t acknowledge the chat
  • Everyone in it assumes Andrew is just ignoring them in the chat and carries on, pretty much forgetting he’s even in it
  • At one point they decide to have a competition to see who can get the cutest picture of Neil
  • They give it a week and whoever sends the cutest picture by the end of Thursday gets 10 bucks each from the others
  • Andrew of course doesn’t acknowledge that, just like he doesn’t acknowledge anything else they send him
  • But he watches the pictures coming in even more than usual all week
  • The one of Neil smiling after Matt called him one of his best friends
  • The selfie Dan took of her hugging Neil with their cheeks smushed together
  • The one Allison secretly took from the back of Matt’s truck of Neil staring dreamily at Andrew while he’s sitting on the trunk of his car smoking
  • The one Renee takes of him sitting between Dan and Matt on the couch in the girls’ room, all wrapped in a blanket
  • The one Nicky sends of Neil standing in the kitchen, yawning and stretching, two minutes after getting up
  • The one Dan sends of Matt standing behind Neil, grinning as he slouches with his forearms resting across Neil’s shoulders while Neil scowls at the camera
  • The one Allison takes of Neil looking super confused after she purposely referenced a movie he hasn’t even heard of
  • Late Thursday they’re all arguing over which picture is cutest and asking how they’re supposed to pick a winner and questioning if there was any way they could convince Andrew to judge or if they should all just have to vote for one that isn’t theirs to be cutest and see what wins that way
  • Andrew sends a message to the group chat for the first time ever at 11:59 pm on Thursday
  • It’s a picture of Neil being so cute that it physically pains Andrew and he 500% wants to kill him for daring to make him feel like this
  • Neil’s curled up in the fetal position asleep cradled in one of the bean bag chairs and his hair is sticking out in every fucking direction and his arm’s reaching out so that he’s still holding Andrew’s hand in his sleep and there’s the faintest hint of a smile on his lips
  •  Neil’s curled up facing where his and Andrew’s hand are intertwined, resting on the edge of the beanbag chair, because he definitely fell asleep staring at Andrew so that he wouldn’t miss one extra second of Andrew’s beautiful face
  • With the picture Andrew sends “I win, fuckers.”
  • None of them argue and Andrew doesn’t respond to the group chat again, but they know he’s watching it
  • Neil looks super confused when the next morning at practice Matt, Dan, Renee, Allison, and Nicky each cough up ten bucks to Andrew without even being asked

i really like the concept of andreil being accidentally adorable. like it dosent even register to them, but everyone else is like “holy shit did you see that? neil just gave andrew his jacket he didnt even say anything abt being cold” and theyre just like ??

seairis:

um so i wrote this whole thing and then accidentally went back a page and lost it ALL so this is sort of abridged bc i dont have the patience to redo the whole thing also it’s only sort of relevant to the prompt? it’s just cute andreil and the foxes having no chill that’s close enough right??

  • so they’re in the dorm on the couch, (nicky and kevin are on the beanbags)
  • andrew’s against the arm rest reading a book and neil’s sitting in the middle watching exy, just far enough away that andrew doesn’t feel trapped (andrew has his toes under neil’s thigh to reassure him that it’s okay)
  • at some point a strand of andrew’s hair falls in front of his eyes and he can’t really be bothered to move it but neil reaches over absentminded and slow and brushes it back away from his face
  • his eyes are still on the screen
  • nicky couldn’t get a picture but he’s live tweeting this shit, honestly, what a beautiful moment to have witnessed
  • neil and kevin, in unison, says “nicky watch the game this is important” when they see him on his phone
  • nerds
  • on the flip side, when neil’s studying his hair’s all over the place. it’s always all over the place but he runs his hands through it when he’s stressed so it’s just a mess
  • and andrew will walk up behind him and tie it up in a lil pony tail for him (with copious amounts of just running his fingers through his hair bc like… come on)

Shit the Foxes said on talk shows

Neil: So Kevin comes in at like 1 in the morning, brand new tattoo on his face, and he’s drunk as hell but he’s making this surprisingly coherent speech about being the deadliest piece of the board, and I’m just sitting there not saying a word because I don’t know a thing about chess.
Dan: There’s a video on my computer containing cuts from every single time Andrew sent a ball flying into someone’s head set to the Donky Kong theme song. It’s two and a half hours.
Allison: Neil has this thing where bad things happening to him are like a matter of fact. Once, he and I met up for lunch, and when the bill came he asked if he could pay me back later because he got mugged on the way over. As it turns out, what I mistook for Neil being a picky eater was actually Neil trying to eat without upsetting a shallow stab wound.
Renee: I don’t drink alcohol because you can’t account for what you’ll do when you’re drunk. Though sometimes that turns out fun. About a year ago we found out that Matt knows how to sing Sweden’s national anthem backwards by heart, and that was hilarious. But on the other hand I’ve had Allison and Nicky competing on who can break a glass with their voice at three in the morning, so.
Matt: Kevin is definitely seems like everything in his life is about Exy, but get to know him and you realize that he has plenty of interests, it’s just that he has no concept of doing things in moderation. So it’s less a stick up his butt and more like, I don’t know, a pool noodle or something.
Aaron: Neil doesn’t have a concept of money, a fact which on any given day swings between hilarious and flat out tragic. He refused to pay $15.90 for new pants but said he’d pay for my med school if I stopped making fun of his new haircut. To be clear, both of these things happened in the same conversation.
Nicky: I love God, I do. He’s always in my heart. But I guess God has abandonment issues because every time I see a commercial for a McFlurry I can just feel him testing me.
Andrew: The thing about the Foxes is that the stress level on any given day can fluctuate so wildly you get whiplash. One day you’re getting yelled at for not blocking a shot, the next you’re getting yelled at for “obstruction of justice” or whatever it is the Feds call it when you remind them that they can’t come in without a search warrant. Why Wymack does this willingly is beyond me.
Kevin: On the one hand, the Foxes are much less organized, not to mention a smaller team. Every game, we’re at an almost immediate disadvantage. On the other hand, Ravens are contractually forbidden from Irish coffee. So overall the decision isn’t hard.

Imagine Andrew and Neil saying really ominous stuff just to screw with everyone, but it’s really just stupid shit

Andrew: it’s taken care of.

Matt: WHAT IS TAKEN CARE OF???

Andrew: it

Later learned that he bought ice cream and ate it

Or

Neil: *sprinting towards the foxes while waving his arm* RUN

Kevin: Why!?

Nicky: YOU DONT ASK QUESTIONS WHEN SOMEONE TELLS U TO RUN DIP SHIT

Neil was on a run and wanted the rest of the foxes to join him

The Foxes and College Yearbook Quotes:

agapantoblu:

  • Andrew Minyard: “Fuck Stickball and fuck Josten”
    • Just to piss Kevin off. Poor Day’s brain fried for a second and he went “Wait, are you changing sport?! What the fuck, Andrew! What is this stickball?! What did they promise you?!” Wymack had to be the one to tell him. 
    • Neil smiled at the quote as if he was looking at a little fluffy kitten; he got his percentage raised for that.
  • Kevin Day: “Be the Queen on your chessboard. Kings never get too far.”
    • The poor kid spent weeks polishing his quote and now Foxes spend most of their times after reading it fake-bowing in front of him.
    • Jean sends him a picture when Renee shows it to him; it’s just his own face with an arched eyebrow. Kevin answers “Fuck you”, but he smiles seeing Jeremy making faces in the background.
  • Neil Josten: “Ohana means family, and family means no one gets abandoned or forgotten – Lilo and Her Weird Alien Dog” 
    • The upperclassmen cried.
    • It took them a week to realize Neil honestly thought the name of the movie was “Lilo and Her Weird Alien Dog” because that’s what Andrew told him.
  • Aaron Minyard: “Two chemists go into a restaurant. The first one says -I think I’ll have an H2O.- The second one says -I think I’ll have an H2O too- and he died.”
    • he actually wanted to write “Fuck you, Andrew” but Katelyn glared at him until he changed it. 
    • Andrew gets it, but refuses to laugh on principle.
  • Nicky Hemmick: “I’m GGG: Getting Gayer and German”.
    • He employed Erik’s help, but the man is a sap and only offered romantic/sentimental quotes, so he had to find something on his own. 
    • He fought the whole editorial department to have his quote in rainbow colors and he won.
  • Danielle Wilds: “I wear steel-ettos to better kick you in the balls.”
    • It may or may not be a reference to a certain Raven and a certain banquets and she may or may not take a picture of the quote “@” him on twitter.
    • Allison, Matt and Nicky all high five her when they read it.
  • Allison Reynolds: “Pretty hurts, steals your money and burns your house.”
    • She fucking loves the Wonder Woman movie, so her other option was “Men are unnecessary for pleasure.”
    • But after Raven fans trashed her cars she wanted to make a statement, that she could hit back thrice as hard. 
  • Matt Boyd: “Danielle Wilds, would you make me the honor of taking me as your Proud Trophy Husband?”
    • Yup. He honest to God asked her like that. They had actually talked about it already, stuff like “What if I asked you to get married?”, “Now?!”, “No! More dramatically and stuff, but yeah… Would you say yes?”, “Make it more dramatic than Aaron and Katelyn and we have a deal.”
    • He brought Dan the yearbook and then knelt when she was distracted reading so when she lifted her eyes there he was, with a ring and blushing to the roots of his hair. Nicky filmed everything.
  • Renee Walker: “To be kind and to be helpless are two different matters.”
    • Nicky finds it adorable, while Neil and Andrew read it for the threat it is and their smiles are creepy and dark for a moment there. Allison looks proud.
    • Jean retweets the picture of the quote and adds “@Alvarez, this is why you don’t fight her”. It’s the first tweet ever in which he “@”s someone and the Trojans are so proud they collectively send Renee flowers.
