It’s about getting a “yes” every time instead of assuming consent based on previous dealings.

And I would have loved the hell out of him without that representation of me as a person, but having that representation just makes me love him even more.Īlso, I really fucking appreciate the way consent is dealt with. Characters who don’t follow the mainstream are so often shoved into this little one-dimensional box with their Thing That Makes Them Different being the Only Thing Interesting About Them that they don’t often get the chance to shine on their own, as people, and have all their little labels and bits be secondary instead of their sole value-add to the plot. And I would have loved him even without that representation, because that representation/personality of his isn’t all there is about him. Like, I genuinely love the fuck out of Neil Josten. I find so few characters who represent that concept in the first place that it’s already hard finding that representation, but then having it show up in a main character who is bad ass, twisted but also really thoughtful and a good guy in his own fucked up way, is just.

And, for his own reasons, he is someone who is willing to say no to alcohol in an alcohol-obsessed world.Īs in, for the majority of the series the way he reacts to offers of alcohol, the way he reacts to people asking about his sexuality, the way he is so oblivious to things simply because it’s not even on his radar, and the way none of this is done solely to make him a punch line, the way none of it makes him look stupid or weak or broken or Less Than–I seriously fucking appreciate that so much I can’t even explain it. I’m not labeling him as ace because I honestly don’t know if I think that would even be accurate to say, but he reads as ace.

One of the many, many reasons I love that kid is because he reads as the closest thing to an asexual-ish, non-drinking representation for a character I think I’ve ever read. I could go on and on about the series and won’t because that will seriously make this the longest post ever.īut what I will say is I really appreciate this series so freaking much, and this latest time I realized more overtly why I love Neil so much. So much of the story is told in this masterful way of Neil having no idea why people (especially Andrew) do what they do, and when you know why from having read it before, it adds a whole new layer to everything by knowing the meaning behind the actions, the words, and the silences. Maybe I’m forgetting something but I honestly, right now, cannot think of another series (aside from One Piece) that I love so much, I have reread as often, that I love just as fucking much each reread, and that I still feel like I find little things or have little surprises along the way. I think it’s currently my favorite fictional series, period. My immediate response is always, “Well, have I got a rec for you!” and try to convince them to read Nora’s series.īut I’ve concluded at this point that the All For The Game Series being my favorite m/m series is not the whole truth. I have said many times that AFTG/TFC is my favorite m/m series and it’s always top of my list that I recommend to people, especially anyone who says ICoS was their introduction to m/m and now they’re lost on where to go next. So, I just finished rereading the All for the Game series by Nora Sakavic for the I-couldn’t-even-tell-you-the-number time and I’ve come to a conclusion. All For The Game/Foxhole Court series, I’m calling it my favorite
