WILLOW l S01E05 - “Wildwood” 

Jade… all I care about is you. And if you wanna come here, after we find Airk, to live, I would tag along. If that’s okay. ‘Cause I don’t wanna have any adventures unless they’re with you. I should’ve told you that sooner, you know? And for that, for everything, I’m so sorry. Alright, uh, what did you wanna say?

when cat leaned down to kiss the top of jean’s head I really just fell apart completely. Just the gentleness of it. Jean finally has people that care about him as a human being rather than an asset on the court. People to get angry on his behalf and want to protect him even from himself. To give him the safety and love he deserves after he was made to believe he only deserved cruelty. Jean Moreau, only now are you getting what you truly deserve and it is gentle

Honestly so interesting to see everyone comparing Jean and Neil as foils/parallels/whatever else people want to call it, because to me Jean isn't Neil, he's Andrew. And the tl;dr version is: Neil runs and he runs his mouth, and when you catch him he lies, Andrew and Jean stay and stay silent, and don't tell you the truth because they've had their voices taken.

See, Neil's response is to run, to say everything's fine (to half convince himself everything's fine) and to only lash out when really backed into a corner (and to assume he can fix everyone's business), keep moving, don't look back. "I'm fine" is a way for Neil to keep moving, don't slow down, deal with it later. It's avoidance. And then Neil does tell the truth, everyone listens and believes, he just constantly chooses not to.

While Jean and Andrew endure. They stand their ground, they take their abuse, they bargain with themselves and others to bare it, and they hold onto what solace they can find. They know what's happening to them is fucked up, and somewhere deep down they're angry about it, but it's their life, they've got to endure, they can't let themselves feel that anger or that pain, they just have to keep going. They have to stay. They aren't believed, they're rumoured to be violent, abusive, liars, "asking for it", forced into positions they don't want to be in over and over and they stand their ground, accept that this is what they have to do and do it quietly, shut off their feelings about it because they can't afford feelings about it, and endure, even when they can't see the light of the tunnel because that's just what they do. Because they have no other choice. Jean isn't saying "it happened in a scrimmage" because he's avoiding dealing with this, he's saying it because he can't tell them the truth (or in the case of people like Abby, probably doesn't yet know he can tell the truth and not have people go to the police). Either they don't believe him, or he's just got them into mafia trouble. Whatever their response is, he will be in trouble. The same way Andrew telling people about Drake wasn't believed, even after Aaron killed him. The same way everything Andrew said or did (whether you agreed with it or not) was interrupted as violent or his fault by the Foxes (yes, even Wymack, see the phone call with Higgins). Neil is seen as a victim, they were seen as problems.

Jean is where Andrew was a few years ago, except where Andrew had Aaron, who probably tried to connect but had no idea how because issues and also kid looking to Andrew to fix things, and Tilda and her family who definitely didn't even try beyond maybe some bible quotes, and later Nicky and the Foxes who also had no idea how, Jean has Jeremy and the Trojans who are older and (for now) less drowning in their own issues, but also are at least somewhat aware of Jean's issues (or at least the Nest's issues in a general sense) and aren't looking at him as their saviour. While Andrew struggles to heal properly because he doesn't have a proper support system at that stage, Jean does have one now (assuming book 2 doesn't throw some major spanners in the works).
