Look at it in matte black and tell me 17 year old Andrew Minyard didn't blow every penny he had on 0-60 mph in 5 seconds, all-wheel drive asshole machine. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, usually called an Evo, is the obnoxious boy racer car. Take Andrew's original car for example: a Lexus GS is a very EXPENSIVE car yes, but look at it in 2003! It's what a business exec buys not a speedfreak little shit head blowing his abusive mom's life insurance when the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo existed. The problem with writing about Andrew's love of cars is that Nora didn't know anything about cars. But when Drake got older and more distant, Cass realized that she had something simple but tangible to offer to balance the scales.

Cass had often felt a little guilty about how good thing were, but had mostly been able to push that away in favor of work and raising Drake and dealing with the day to day problems, rather than the big existential ones. It wasn’t complicated, she had grown up with a text book “bad homelife” but had gone on to find her way to a good marriage and a stable home. She hadn’t started fostering because she wanted to be someone’s white knight. Cass wasn’t a perfect person, she’d never had any illusions or hero complexes. Cass felt like she had no idea who she was anymore and writing down her name just made that more obvious.
#The foxhole court neil license
She’d rented a car at Upstate Regional and had a minor crisis when handing over her license and filling in the paperwork. She hadn’t thrown up yet in South Carolina, but that was probably only because she hadn’t eaten anything all day. She’d gone from vomiting in her home in Oakland, to vomiting in a hospital, then a police station, then her home again, and after a few days San Francisco airport. Cass had been sick to her stomach for ten days, seventeen hours and roughly ten minutes, give or take a minute when she’d nearly blacked out from shock. She remembered exactly when it had started.

The point is not to sanitize the actions of the characters but just to parse them a little differently. The power of the antagonists is reduced in order to play with the idea that not all Neil and Kevin's trauma induced paranoia is accurate to reality but they're doing the best they can. Foxes are Foxes because of their pasts, and Riko Moriyama wants to use that against more than just Neil.Ī full rewrite of The Foxhole Court reworking in particular those elements of canon relating to mental health and trauma to be more in line with medical understandings and realistic pharmacology. But as he wakes up on his coach's couch the night after antagonizing the captain of a powerful rival team with links to Neil's past, he knows that dying might not be his only problem. All he wants is to play Exy, protect his team, and live until he dies. (*I have been considering writing a fic that flashes between the pass and present and deals with the Irish games influence on exy when Kayleigh was inventing it but who knows if that will ever happen*)įrom book descriptions it does seem like the game resets after every foul, goal, or injury and that substitutions can be made during any reset. The idea being that this makes you vulnerable to having the ball stolen by opposing players. In hurling you balance the ball (sliotar) on the flat part of your hurl while run and after 3 steps bounce it into the air and then balance it again. In hurling and gaelic football which is also face paced and on a field even bigger than a soccer field, players can only take 3 steps then have to either pass (there are 15 players per side) or “solo” which is the equivalent of passing to yourself. Exy players can “pass” to themselves off the ground, walls and ceiling. The ten steps thing only makes sense in the context of the rebounds element that doesn’t (I assume) exist in lacrosse. I’ll admit my lacrosse knowledge is limited, since I’m not american, and so I’ve used hockey, hurling and soccer as my main points of comparison beyond my basic understanding of lacrosse gear and that time I watched teen wolf when I had strep. Never apologise for the long ask and thank you for climbing into this rabbit hole with me.
