astrology bitch Allison who knew Neil was lying about when his birthday was simply because the vibes of his star chart were completely whack with the info he’d given vs him as a person

i love that neil spends majority of aftg being like omg they cannot find out that there is something wrong with me i have to be normal. and everyone who interacts with him is like Bro what the fuck is wrong with you

reading the foxhole court. everyone manhandles neil SO MUCH. like, at least once per chapter someone is grabbing him by the collar or dragging him by his arm

there’s either a staggering amount of gay subtext between andrew and neil or a relationship is being set up

already onto the next book…. team become family…. i cry

HECK IT I’M CALLING IT NOW THEY’RE TOTALLY GOING TO GET TOGETHER

I’M ALCRHODEN FCKINF THEY FINALLY KISSED!!!! THE ABSOLUTE MAD MEN I’M SKDNWOSWDID

NEIL’S GONNA RIDE THAT DICK TO FINALS!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAA

3 books in 3 days…. what a ride. the ending was spectacular and i laughed and cried along with the foxes. neil, you absolute unit, you did it. and only like 20 people had to die lol

I constantly forget that exy is played on a courts the size of soccer????

Like its a hardwood court so my brain says its the size of basketball that is incorrect

"Exy was a bastard sport, an evolved sort of lacrosse on a soccer-sized court with the violence of ice hockey"

There are 10 people for soccer + goalkeeper

Exy is 5 + goalkeeper AND there are movement restrictions.

This beggs so many questions

How does anyone get cose enough to check how do they cover any ground when they only take ten steps? Even with passing its so far.

How high is the plexiglass?? How can Andrew smack the ball down the court its so far it would have to be hit like a bullet and have a high arc.

Realistically its more the size of an ice hockey rink with field hockey marks.

This doesn't even adress if the stadium is indoor or outdoor and weather there is actually like a net or goal with depth.

I need everyones thoughts

Tbh I think she just wanted it to sound even more insane like. Now Neil and Kevin having to run up and down the court without subs sounds way more impressive than it being basketball sized. (Yeah, i agree that the field hockey size is the ideal to meet her halfway)

For the last few questions: after the TKM acknowledgements you have like five pages of Nora explaining Exy.

  1. The plexiglass walls and roof are 10 yards (9 meters) tall.
  2. The goal is just a box painted on the wall, so there's no net depth. There's also a box painted on the floor around it and the goalie is the only one who can be inside it, so players can't shoot 30 centimetres from the wall.
  3. And the court is most definitely indoors like basketball or hockey, probably with no ceiling opening, going from Neil's description of the foxhole court and that they don't worry about the game when it's raining.

Hope this helps :))

this seems as good a time as any to show off the project i started last summer (since stalled because i moved and no longer have access to a free university 3d printer).

its a scale model exy court based on the dimensions given in the books. 1 cm : 5 yards (forgive the mixing of units). the players are arguably a little too large by this measurement, but since they are only toothpicks and im not much of an artist there is a limit to what i can achieve precision wise

a few additional shots, including the (incomplete) 3d printed stadium

incidentally, if you assume andrew hits the ball at roughly 1 m height, in order for it to fly all the way across the court and hit the goal wall without smacking into the ceiling (assuming air resistance negligible, which is a stretch at those speeds), the ball would need to be moving at a minimum of 36.8 m/s. Thats 82 mph for the imperial crowd, or 132 kph for metric folk. literally highway speeds.

anyway, baseball players regular hit balls faster than 100 mph, but thats with a solid bat, not a net. lacrosse players have been known to throw a ball over 80 mph so. plausible but barely.

so for the most part, its actually totally functional for andrew to consistently hit the ball halfway down the court to neil. but those poor players better have insane cardio because they are going to be running a LOT
