Because he's been meme-ified a lot over the years, I feel the need to point out how smart he is. I mean, yes, he comes across as this feral, impulsive sort of character (and he has a lot of dumb energy, lol), but he's also really logical and precise. I love how complex and multilayered his character is. Nora did such a fabulous job writing him.
my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG

Wait! What if the diary works like Tom Riddle's diary. Emma's been acting weird for some time now... Everyone online was so suspicious. Even her sense of humour was all wrong! After I while I thought that I might be overreacting, but now Julian noticed it too!! He said she was very 'un-Emma'. What if Tatiana's diary is like Tom Riddle's diary and is making Emma weird!! Probably not, but whatever....

This was the literal wording of what he said. It’s canon to me.
Jeremy: She's pretty, right?
Translation: Is she prettier than me?
neil josten the character that you are. auburn hair and ice blue eyes and a serial killer's smile. the capacity for both extreme cruelty and immense kindness. an honest liar, a brave runaway. someone who is born of two violent, dangerous, immoral people and desperately, desperately doesn't want to be like them (but is a little bit anyway). harsh and brutal and rough around the edges and at the same time so devoted and genuine despite it all. spent his entire life outrunning his past, cutting people loose for his own survival, and was ready to die for the people he called family. never does anything half-hearted (except maybe college, but that's actually completely valid) but throws himself into it and literally puts his life on the line all for the game. bargains for jean's safety and makes an effort to keep him alive and well despite barely knowing him at all. signed his own death warrant by staying at the foxhole court because he wanted to see kevin break free of r*ko and make it to the top (where he belongs). neil josten, who could've been so much more violent and bitter and evil, but remained true and good and would've held onto his integrity and the people he loved till the day that he died. neil josten the character that you are.
Declan ending up w a sexy tatted babe who wears leather and ronan ending up with an outwardly serious, tortured and elegant intellectual… ik they refuse to acknowledge the similarities…lets not read into it
