Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
Relationships that have real king/lionheart energy, that whole “I have sworn myself wholly to you, I am your sword arm, I am your dog” to someone else’s “you are the one person in this world I can rely on, and I am both bolstered and burdened by your absolute faith in me” vibe, but it’s in circumstances that are like. so low stakes. Manager of a movie theater/the one usher who doesn’t smoke weed at work.
Ya gotta…

“You are Jean Moreau. Your place is here with me, with us. I’m your captain. You’re my partner. We’re supposed to be doing this together, aren’t we? Stop leaving me behind. Look at me.”
- The Sunshine Court, 2024

"Your parents are dead, you are not fine, and nothing is going to be okay. This is not news to you. But from now until May you are still Neil Josten and I am still the man who said he would keep you alive."
The Raven King, 2013
something something about blond bfs grounding and reassuring their wrecked & traumatized other halves..
behold, my contribution to the leverage fandom
✨️Back on my six of crows bullshit 😌💅✨️
my chemical romance is the funniest and weirdest band ever. They’re all fucking losers who would genuinely rather play dnd than hook up with groupies. The singer used to work at Cartoon Network. The bassist is on the fbi watchlist for crimes against disney. One guitarist is a guitar god but he also used to keep a little action figure of spiderman in his pocket all the time, the other is like a little lap dog of a man, but he’s also on the fbi watchlist for death threats against a us president. They refused to be on the twilight soundtrack, one of the most popular franchises at the time but then they preformed on yo gabba gabba and re-recorded one of their songs in simlish.
Oh I didn’t forget. Make no mistake I did not forget the fact that Stephanie Meyer, nyt’s bestselling author of thee Twilight series who, upon looking at the weirdest greasiest human alive said oh my god I need to make this man* a creepy ass abusive predator. And I did not forget Gerard was so offended and upset that they wrote a whole ass diss track about it and went on a rant on Twitter that ended with them talking about getting that philharmonic cheddar. I can never forget.
The philharmonic cheddar. For proof and prosperity!
Neil including Jean in his deal with Ichirou. Neil being Jean’s “misplaced forever partner, an unfulfilled promise Jean stopped believing in years ago.” Jean watching out for Neil at Evermore. Neil repaying his debt to Jean by beating Riko. Neil touching his foot to Jean’s to ground him on more than one occasion. Him immediately ordering a hit on Grayson after receiving just a hint of what he’d done to Jean. Neil reminding Jean that Elodie too was a Moreau and that Jean is worth saving. I just can’t do it.
I'm so obsessed with Jean's feelings towards Neil. They're absolutely not romantic or sexual which we know for sure now but they're so strong anyway. He says he should have been his forever partner! He really trusts Neil with his life despite only knowing him in the Nest for a few weeks- something that never happened with Riko or Zane despite knowing them both for years.
the relationship between jean and neil in tsc is so important to me
I cry a lot AND I’m unproductive. What now.
screaming crying and throwing up. nora I fear I won’t survive this
Jean: Oh when I have scars it's a problem but when HE has scars nobody minds
Jeremy: Jean he's trans
Jean: And I am French
The Neil/Nathaniel name change makes me feral every time. Like first when Neil is headed to Baltimore and leaves Neil Josten behind with the friends who made him a real person? Slaps. Nathaniel dying in Baltimore with his father and Neil coming back to the people he loves? Immaculate. Jean calling him Nathaniel up until the point that Riko dies and immediately switching to Neil? Heartbreaking. Makes me insane actually.
