Andrew: did it hurt?
Neil, rolling eyes: Nicky already did this one, when I fell from heaven right?
Andrew: no, when you fell down the stairs just now. You laid there for about five minutes…

All for the Game from Andrew’s POV
All for the gay vague posts from Betsy Dobson
The monsters guilty musicals
Kevin: Matilda. A child gaining superpowers in order to protect herself against asshole adults in her life and getting a happy ending? Yeh he has no idea why it’s his favourite. But he does like the revolting children song.
Andrew: Hadestown. He fell in love with the set, but he hasn’t told anyone. He watched it illegally on YouTube bc it came up on his feed and he just … adored it. The ending was tragic enough that he had to take Neil on a sunset drive and just let their finger lace. He’s watched it three times since and sometimes just replays certain scenes in his head
Nicky: Wicked. Someone being shunned their whole life for being different, for being just who they are? Yeh Nicky was pulled in with Glindas outfit and the rest just fell into place
Aaron: legally blonde. He watched it with Kaitlyn but he hadn’t seen the movie before hand so he was experiencing all the plot twists for the first time. He was very expressive when it came to the trial. Kaitlyn was snorting behind her hand the whole time.
Neil: heathers. Lols. Yall can find ur own reason. I just know in my gut this is true.
I made another. This is a new fave layout of mine. Andrew didn’t know what was coming
I saw this picture on Pinterest and this immediately came to mind. Neil needs a better way to calm him self down lollll
foxes buying groceries
Bc u just KNOW chaos is about to happen
- We pan to a slowmo walk of Matt Nicky and Neil, the idiots that they are, pretending to ready for battle instead of just a weekly shop
- Andrew sits in the car waiting for them to get to the door before joining them bc he doesn’t want to be seen whilst they partake in such idiocy
- Also he can watch Neil’s ass
- Aaron is disgusted by them all and goes inside before all of them, to buy a single Spider-Man ice cream and comes back to the car to eat it, while the trio still haven’t made it to the store
- Kevin is at the court bc shopping isn’t worth his time
- He made Andrew memorise a list anyways
- (
He made a mistake of trusting Andrew to get spinach. HA! As if!) - The girls aren’t present bc they do their own shopping for their room
- Finally the trio make it to the door and Andrew joins them, he links hands with Neil as if nothing happened and Nicky is too distracted over Halloween merchandise to notice
- It takes them ten minutes for Nicky and Matt to stop trying on the Disney princess Halloween costumes
- Andrew is unamused; Neil wants to try on an Elsa wig
- They get some fruit for Neil and a single leaf of kale for Kevin and then completely skip the veg isle
- College athlete diet plan who?
- Neil is squeezed into the cart and Matt hurtles down the chips and dips isle
- Whatever Neil manages to secure on the deathly race to tip-over-town, they get to buy
- If the cart tips, they get none of it
- He’s improving on his haul, first time they did this he only got three bags of popcorn and a jar of mayo
- This time he got seven bags of salt and vinegar chips, some guac, some kettle chips, some doritos for Allison and a jar of chilli dip
- Andrew in mildly turned on and doesn’t know why
- Nicky rounds the corner and spots the Halloween candy
- Several rounds of debate ensue on why Andrew can’t buy £40 worth of popping candy
- Neil is for, Nicky is against purely because he knows Andrew will put some in his coffee at some stage
- The pints of ice cream are also debated, but only because Matt always wants to buy vanilla and that’s against Andrews religion
- Matt claimed they’re for ice cream soda floats but Andrew knows better
- They also stand in front of the DVD Kiosk for a good ten mins, Matt getting sad that Neil hasn’t seen anything and Andrew shooting down the good ones because he’s already seen them
- They get lord of the rings
- Andrew is pacified and Neil is incredibly confused by Nickys bad attempt to describe the plot
I’ll leave how badly up to you- It was bad though
- They leave with snacks, fruit, ice cream and the DVD and Kevin doesn’t speak to Andrew for three days
Neil: Andrew I got these for you
Andrew, perplexed: but why
Neil: we are dating Andrew, besides Allison told me it was cute to want to get you things
Andrew, standing holding a bouquet of picked daisies that are already starting to wilt, but he knows Neil saw them and thought they were cute and wanted Andrew to see them, trying really hard not to seem sappy: I hate you
The monsters as things my friends have said
I stole these from the last few days of our gc hehe, they are copied and pasted so that’s why we have the good ole typos
Nicky: let’s normalise coffee dates, please, we don’t need to get blackout to have a good time, guys please, let’s normalise having wholesome times, guys pls
Kevin: I swear I didn’t even know I slept talked, and the fact we had a full conversation without you realising is offensive
Aaron: i got my blood test back. I’m deficient in everything. I didn’t even realise you could be this deficient. I’m blaming my simp behaviour on my deficiencies.
Andrew, medicated: I love how when I’m talking abt ollie Neil I’m like FUCK THAT BITCH I AINT NO SIMP HES UGLY ANYWAY and then he hits me up and I’m like hehe u want to hang out 🥺😙✨🌈? Yeah sure 😌😌 I dont mind what time 🙃🙃🙃
Andrew, sober: Children are literally disgustinf parasites I will coat hanger it myself if I need to
Neil: Okay so update on the driving: I crashed I now my car is dented and a Lothian bus bumper has come off
Neil: Yeah yeah, but how’s the cutest guy in the whole team doing?
Andrew, voice cracking: I’m pretty goo-
Kevin: I’m actually in a fucking bad mood, thanks for asking
The monsters as certain times of day
[because I can? lmao suck it up]
Neil: dawn, but the cloudy sort of timeless dawn, where one minute it’s night time and then it’s suddenly day, unnoticed by the sleeping masses and only properly appreciated by those who either stayed up all night or those who got up early for a run
Andrew: noon, the sort of bright and all seeing noon where everyone is lowkey grouchy because they want lunch but still have a bit of work to finish, and everyone is hyper aware of everything but doesn’t really care because they just want to EAT
Kevin: midnight, on a clear night but no one is awake to appreciate the stars, a nice time to go into your garden and sit with a hot chocolate if you can’t sleep, or lay in bed and smell the crispiness of the cold night air coming through your window
Nicky: sunset, full of bright colours and a myriad of textures, oranges, reds, pinks and purples, ideal for an evening stroll with a friend who listens to your rants, and once the rant is over, suddenly so is the sunset
Aaron: mid-morning, with the clouds overcast, and a slight patter of rain on the window sill, but you are at the table doing work in a warm jumper with a pot of tea, and your pen is working perfectly, and there is promise of a sunny afternoon peeping over the horizon
Andrew: when I was younger, I didn’t know how to tell boys I liked them
Andrew: so I wrote them letters, and put them under their doors, to show affection.
Neil: that wasn’t when you were younger, that was 20 minutes ago and the letter said “leave my team alone.”
Andreil + lyrics from Broken Crown by Mumford and sons
“It stifled the choice and the air from my lungs”
Neil: *does something dumb again*
Aaron, to Andrew, with disgust: this is the one you want? I’m sure you can get another one
Andrew, despairingly: this is the only one I will ever want ever
Andrew: *threatens someone with a knife again*
Matt, to Neil defeatedly: are you sure this is the one you want? We can get you a better one.
Neil, proudly: this is the one I want
