How would the convo have gone if Neil had gotten the chance to tell everyone about his past himself before being kidnapped by his father's people? Would they have reacted any differently to him?

(Same person who asked how the Foxes see Neil) How does Ichirou see Neil? Does he see a liar, a frightened person, or just someone who needs to be watched??

eyyyy look what showed up today!
((Actually they showed up while I was in Savannah, but my sister picked them up from the leasing office today))
GUESS WHOSE COVERS ARE STILL MISALIGNED.
I made the covers identical and forgot to take into account that the increasing spine size would screw with the spacing. So TFC looks fine, but TRK & TKM are hot messes. Covers are significantly closer to the spine. le sigh. One of these days I’ll get it right.

So through the series we see things from Neil's perspective, but how do the foxes see Neil?? In book three Nicky(?) asks who is humanizing who in Neil and Andrew's relationship. Does Neil come across in the same way Andrew does to them? (Only less violent?)

I feel guilty combining Asks, but these two were easier to answer together! Sorry!!
Anon 1: I love that this fandom has flourished. Maybe this is a better Ask for the community as a whole, but can we get on the same page for where we can find/share fanfiction/art? I know you have shared some pieces, but seem to come from different corners of internet, which is cool, except I barely know how to navigate tumblr so I don’t really know to find it. Also, what’s your opinion on fanfiction? I know you’re not 100% opposed, but if you have any thoughts or boundaries…
Anon 2: What’s it like reading fanfiction based off of your own work? Reading reviews?

Just finished rereading the trilogy again and I was wondering if the USC goalkeeper Lalia and backliner Alvarez have any back stories?? :D
A
They don’t, because Alvarez is one of the newest background characters in the story. Laila’s made appearances in at least half of the drafts, but Alvarez didn’t have a name until this last draft. Oops! :O

So Neil kinda snuck his way into being your favourite character from the books <3 As the author, how do you feel about the other characters? Has this changed much, other than Neil? I mean, some of them must be like old friends, living inside your head. (Do you think you would be friends with any of them IRL? )

Could you give a bit of insight to what it was like from the Foxes POV when Neil was kidnapped during the riot (how they reacted, how they found out, etc.)? (Thanks for answering my previous asks btw! c: )

I have a nice, innocent, fluffy question that can't possibly backfire in the most painful way possible. What did each of the Foxes study in college?

Anonymous asked:
Just curious, is the medication Andrew takes based on a real drug? and is court ordered mania something that happens in real life??
A
I just assumed they were antidepressants.
Another possible problem with antidepressants is the chance of antidepressant-induced mania in patients with bipolar disorder. Many cases of bipolar depression are very similar to those of unipolar depression. Therefore, the patient can be misdiagnosed with unipolar depression and be given antidepressants. Studies have shown that antidepressant-induced mania can occur in 20–40% of bipolar patients.[102] For bipolar depression, antidepressants (most frequently SSRIs) can exacerbate or trigger symptoms of hypomania and mania.
I thought about antidepressants too, because they fit with the induced mania, but andrew doesn’t seem to suffer from all the other side effects they have. Plus, antidepressants + alcohol go very badly together, but andrew doesn’t have problem with it. Of course it’s all fictional, so welcome suspension of disbelief and all.
Another option were anti-anxiety drugs,“Tranquilizers make a person somewhat euphoric and may lower inhibitions. A person abusing these drugs may not care as much about performance and so schoolwork or job production are very likely to suffer. Attention to the needs of children or home may also deteriorate. A person may also give up activities that formerly interested them, simply because they are sedated to the point of losing interest.“
and more in general they can induce: acute hyperexcited states, aggressive behavior, excitability, extreme restlessness, hostility, hysteria, insomnia, irritability, etc.
But they are well known to cause suicidal thoughts, which would have thrown a whole new light on andrew’s habit of sitting on the roof in the third book, but he’s clean by then so nothing. Would have been an interesting thing though.
About laws:“Involuntary treatment (also referred to by proponents as assisted treatment and by critics as forced drugging) refers to medical treatment undertaken without a person’s consent. In almost all circumstances, involuntary treatment refers to psychiatric treatment administered despite an individual’s objections. These are typically individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental illness and are deemed by a court to be a danger to themselves or others.”
For Andrew to get under forced treatment they would have to officially prove he needs psychiatric help, but yes, there are circumstances where they could force you under medical treatment, violating your habeas corpus right.
Andrew’s case shouldn’t have required it, but it wasn’t an out of nowhere scenario.I always figured they were like Ativan x10 (Ativan is an anti-anxiety med which, when abused, will give euphoric effects). Because I know that when I was taking it often, I didn’t care about anything
*__* <3 I love that you guys are deciphering this.
Yes, they were intended to be antidepressants– I just didn’t know if there were any in the real world that could a) create that kind of relentless mania, b) have such dire consequences for coming off of them, and c) be addictive in part because of b.
I researched it for a while, then gave up–if I found a real medication, I’d have to abide by its rules, after all. So I knew what I wanted the drugs to do for Andrew but not what exact drug he could be taking.
((Andrew told Neil the truth about the rooftop – he was up there so he could feel something. He’d wrecked his system the last several years between his medication, his alcohol, and cracker dust. Drake wasn’t the impact it should’ve been, and the sedatives Proust had him on [for Proust’s safety] marred those encounters, too. But this was something real, the way his stomach tightened when he stepped out onto the rooftop and his heart tripped when he got too close to the edge. Proof of life, as it were.))
