Summary:

What would be exy fans reactions to the events of AFTG?

Brought to you by my love for socmed aus and outsider povs because while reading aftg, but especially tsc and tgr, i just kept thinking "god... twitter must be having a field day". I fear we as a fandom don't explore nearly enough the fact that these people are famous and are constantly doing interviews and shit. have you ever stopped to wonder if they have dedicated fan accounts? do people ship them with other players? how did random exy fans react to one of the foxes being a gangster? well i have. extensively. if any of these questions intrigue you, i have just the fic for you

Notes:

All of the book warnings still apply! And CW for slurs

"racquet kitten" is exy puck bunny, maria chuteira, etc

each chapter will follow a book, the first one talks about events pre-tfc

will update whenever i write a new chapter

have fun!

aaahhh he looked so good!! i recorded the interview and i’ll be posting it soon, i’m just working on translating some things! thank you once again to our exy boys for forcing me to learn a new language lol

kevin day’s wife @ravenday02

but am i the only one who things kathy’s kinda weird for making all those comments and jokes about two 19yo? just me? okay then 



jeremy’s dimples ✨✨ @tro11anscap

ugh the ravens are great players but they don’t have ANY sportsmanship! I can’t believe riko would say that about the big three :(



can’t spell sexy without exy @racquet_fiend

unpopular opinion but I think the sport would be better (and more popular!) without the r*vens… what makes people passionate about a sport is rooting for a team, wanting them to win, being sad when they lose etc but it’s simply not as fun when one team literally always wins. what’s even the point of a championship? i don’t even watch finals anymore

|

can’t spell sexy without exy @racquet_fiend

it sure makes one wonder how they are so much better than everyone else… maybe having the founder for a coach let’s them get away with things (cof cof doping cof cof) WHO SAID THAT??

|

can’t spell sexy without exy @racquet_fiend

also their fans are so hateful and toxic… and you know what they say: the fans are a reflection of the team

|

andrew minyard’s pr team @goalieminyard03

yup lol

|

can’t spell sexy without exy @racquet_fiend

… why

|

andrew minyard’s pr team @goalieminyard03

because he was the first person to refuse to join the ravens even though kevin and riko went personally to recruit him and i wish i had been there to see the look on their faces being told “no” for the first time. also he’s hot

|

can’t spell sexy without exy @racquet_fiend

fair ig i have to admit he kinda ate with that tho i don’t think putting a guy who almost beat four people to death in a violent sport like exy is a good idea

|

andrew minyard’s pr team @goalieminyard03

he beat those guys because they tried assaulting his cousin for being gay so i call that an #ally

what does this mean for the ravens? will we have to play without kevin? i imagine the whole team (but especially riko) will have a hard time adjusting to that, i hope it doesn’t affect our performance

i love my uni and really appreciate what coach wymack is trying to do but like… how did we convince KEVIN DAY to come here

|

I would bet he transferred because wymack is secretly his dad

i’m crying so much right now

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

i feel like i’m in mourning

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

he broke his dominant hand badly enough that he probably won’t ever play again. i can’t accept this. he was born for exy! if i’m feeling like this i can’t even imagine what he must be feeling

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

but why would he leave the ravens?? coach wymack’s statement said that he went to south carolina to heal but that’s so weird!! I can’t imagine coach moriyama or riko just letting him go like this

|

cami | go ravens! ¹ ² @purrfectcourt

I hate to say it but trauma can drive people apart like when couples get divorced after losing a child, the news that his injury is more serious than they thought and that kevin won’t ever play again was probably really hard on all of them

|

cami | go ravens! ¹ ² @purrfectcourt

we should give them time and space to heal without pointing fingers and accusing anyone of anything



 

ALL HAIL THE KING #1 @KINGRIKO__1

it’s about time this happened, he just dragged riko down. now the world will see why riko was always number one #BYEBYETRAITOR

|

riko’s queen 👑 @rikokitten

I understand where you’re coming from but I doubt Riko would appreciate us calling his brother names like that. I’m sure this was a very hard decision on all sides and we should wish Kevin a swift recovery and hopefully he can rejoin the ravens one day. I know he would make an amazing coach!

oop i guess he was a traitor after all 💁‍♀️

|

riko’s queen 👑 @rikokitten

after everything the ravens and coach moriyama did for him, this is how he repays us? it just feels like a slap in the face

|

riko’s queen 👑 @rikokitten

i can’t even imagine what riko must be feeling right now… he probably feels so used and abandoned…

|

riko’s queen 👑 @rikokitten

i hope jean and the rest of the ravens are giving riko lots of love and telling him how much we appreciate him! no true raven would ever leave him like that #ByeByeTraitor



 

cami | go ravens! ¹ ² @purrfectcourt

i can’t say this isn’t shocking but i’m not mad about it! i’m really happy kevin will play again, but i guess he isn’t what he used to be, which makes sense considering he probably had to relearn how to play with his nondominant hand. the fact that he is playing at all is really amazing but he knows that he isn’t raven level anymore. this isn’t him betraying the ravens, it’s him RESPECTING them! #WeLoveYouKevin



 

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

I’ve had a couple months to organise my thoughts, and it helped me remember why i even created this account in the first place: because i wanted to support kevin day. not just because he is an amazing player, but an amazing person too

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

kevin is (was?) the moon to riko’s sun. riko’s shines brightly and always carries this air of arrogance that while deserved i still find kinda obnoxious, but not kevin. every time he talks about exy you can tell that this is more than just a game to him. this is his life, his way of connecting with his mother

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

he gets the game in a way that no one else does. riko is talent and aggression, he dominates his opponents and makes them submit, but when kevin plays… it’s something truly incredible to watch. it’s like no one else is even there, it’s just him his racquet and the ball. he is breathtaking

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

and he is always so charming and polite! and i adore how much he loves the trojans. what other player supports a rival team like that? and i know he is a truly wonderful human and it isn’t just a public persona because of how he acted when the trojans chose jeremy knox as captain

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

he did not share any “concerns” like many other players and coaches, he stood behind usc and knox 100%, talking multiple times about what a great player jeremy is and that he is sure he will make a great captain

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

the point is, kevin day deserves my support no matter where he is playing or even if he is playing at all

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

but i admit i am having some trouble wrapping my head around the fact that he is transferring to palmetto state specifically. like, why not the trojans? if you’d asked me in december what my opinions on the foxes are, i would’ve said that i really admire what coach wymack is doing but that class 1 is not the place to do it

|

kevin day’s wife #WeLoveYouKevin @ravenday02

i just need some help understanding why. if you are a psu fan, please share what makes you support them, why kevin would choose make palmetto his home

|

jay is a fox 🦊 @jaythehero

well hello! i can certainly help you with that 😊

coach wymack is using his power and influence to remind people that sports are more than just chasing a ball around, it is community and a future. most people just laugh at them, but i watch every game and i can tell you: they are improving. little by little, but they are.

|

jay is a fox 🦊 @jaythehero

i know that one day they will go farther than anyone ever thought possible and show all the little kids and teens who think the world has forsaken them that there is a better world, that they too can achieve their dreams

|

jay is a fox 🦊 @jaythehero

this is why it’s important that they play in class 1. this is why i will continue to support them until i am blue in the face

|

jay is a fox 🦊 @jaythehero

also it’s more fun to root for the underdog lol

|

leah loves foxy girls @lalaleah

i don’t really have a manifesto HOWEVER!! despite everyone’s claims of inclusivity, the foxes are still the only class 1 team to be captained by a woman. lord knows how much hate she gets, so i support the foxes to show Dan Wilds and the other fox girls my appreciation (both in a feminist way and in a lesbian way because i contain multitudes)

|

andrew minyard’s pr team @goalieminyard03

it irritates exy dudebros when i tell them i like the foxes and it amuses me

Mike | On The Court Podcast @michaeljp

I know how passionate fans can get and I am also shocked by this new development but vandalising the school and swatting the athlete dorms (most of whom don’t even have anything to do with exy) is not okay. This is not what exy is about

|

Mike | On The Court Podcast @michaeljp

Very disappointed with EAU’s exy team management for not speaking out against the fans behaviour

Very disappointed with EAU’s exy team… [go to post]

don’t hold your breath waiting for them to change, everyone knows the ravens are a cult and their coach encourages this behaviour

|

Mike | On The Court Podcast @michaeljp

While the behaviour is disappointing, it is not explained by conspiracy theories. Let’s all remain respectful and enjoy the game



 

jeremy’s dimples ✨✨ @tro11anscap

I think I speak for every trojan fan when I say that the ravens behaviour following kevin’s transfer is NOT OKAY!! no one deserves to get death threats because of a game. The foxes and Kevin have my support!



 

ALL HAIL THE KING #1 @KINGRIKO__1

I hope Kevin can take that embarrassment of a team far enough into championships so that riko can beat him on court and teach him his place
