ok so reasons why you should remember that kevin day is more than exy and drinking himself to death with vodka take notes
- um?? he suffered years of trauma and abuse and has anxiety attacks which is WHY he feels he needs the vodka
- he loves history so much that he actually wanted to open up to his team about it and then his team told him to shut up about it so kevin felt bad and never talked about that passion of his ever again like :)) im bitter as fuck
- he literally hates the music at eden’s twilight, but tolerates it for andrew. like!! my boy loves classical music!! but he goes where his friends ask him to go and doesnt complain about the music probably because he knows how he feels to have someone shit on something he loves and doesnt want to do that to others :)))
- my boy didnt even drink before he met the monsters so consider that as well like :) anyway im emotional about that
- he loves the color red so much even though it doesnt look good on him like he probably doesnt care and i just love it??
- suffered under the weight of knowing he had a father, and just did not know how to reach out? imagine the fucking pain of dealing with that!!! and how he learns to reach out, and how he makes an effort to have a relationship with him. kevin actually finds the time to be happy with wymack!! a concept!!
- also kevin day is desperate for friendship dont tell me otherwise and i bet after the trilogy he and nicky become a lot closer now that andrew has neil and theyre kind of separate from the rest of the group. kevin craves affection
- anyway i love kevin day
My favourite thing about The Foxhole Court was how nobody questioned Kevin’s needing company at all times.
Not once did someone ask about it, they never bet on when he’d stop needing Andrew or Neil along to the Foxhole Court, they never left him alone in Eden’s Twilight. The Foxes accepted it, and Andrew’s lot did their best to be there for Kevin all of the time.
This is so much more important once you learn more about Evermore from Neil’s quick stint there. Ravens are never alone. They’re paired off. Your success is your partner’s success. Your failure is your partner’s failure. You thrive or die by each other. You are rewarded and punished as a single unit. That’s the level of codependency Kevin has spent his entire life around. He and Riko weren’t just best friends or practically brothers, they were tied together. And for the first time Kevin’s off making decisions on his own. He’s only responsible for his own well being. He has no one to fall back on. Think of how alone and confused he must have been after twenty odd years stitched to Riko’s side. Not only is he paranoid about retaliation from the Nest or Raven’s fans, he’s flat out unsure who he is as a person without Riko and the Ravens. Kevin doesn’t know how to handle being alone. So they don’t leave him alone while he tries to figure things out.
