![]() ![]() Killing Neil is the one thing he can’t come back from.Just like I did with Ronan and Adam (and Ronan and Kavinsky), I will be assessing the interactions between Andrew and Neil. Sometimes he thinks about killing Neil just to remove the problem once and for all bc he hates this, but then he realizes. Neil somehow worked his way into the former with the latter and now he’s there for good, but Andrew really doesn’t want to care about him. He shattered a long time ago, but there are a handful of things he cares about: his family, and his promises. It’s a problem, bc Andrew’s made himself untouchable as best he could up til now but when he thinks about Neil’s presence being wiped off the face of the planet his stomach churns. Neil, who could be the first thing in a long time he actually really really wants. The one who understands, but calls him out on his shit and doesn’t look at him like a threat. The fourth person to see Andrew for who he is. He doesn’t care about himself in the long run, only about keeping the deals he’s made bc when he was 7 someone very bad broke a promise to him and he’ll never ever forget that. He doesn’t make an attempt to stand up for himself after Nicky’s attack, he allows himself to make a deal with Kevin that Kevin could never keep, he lets his whole family think of him as a monster, he stays in Aaron’s promise and lets that hatred fester. When he loses Aaron he stops trying for himself. Everything good he ever had was taken away somehow (Cass, by her son’s abuse Aaron, by his own reaction to Tilda’s death and subsequent broken promise). When Andrew tells Neil he hates him, he means it. ![]() He allows people’s misconceptions to lead them and simply doesn’t correct them. That being said, here’s another fact: Andrew rarely lies. Andrew is the one who, as soon as he found a therapist worth listening to, who saw him and not the homicidal idea everyone else thought he was, took his therapy seriously. He’s the one who figured out and navigated his sexuality to the point where he had a healthy sexual relationship before Neil. He stopped believing anything Luther said. He didn’t believe Luther when he spun the whole ‘misunderstanding’ bullshit. ![]() ![]() (“You’re not really a sociopath, are you?”Īndrew’s the man who’s only ever been able to depend on himself for anything and everything. He nearly killed full grown men for beating Nicky for his sexuality, and then allowed the people he protected call him soulless. He told no one about the abuse he suffered not bc he doubted his own perception of it, but bc he knew no one would believe him, a juvenile delinquent with a probation officer at age 13.Īndrew’s the teen who thoroughly planned out the murder of his mother to protect a twin brother he barely knew (the same one he protected from Drake). Andrew’s the kid who gave all that up bc he didn’t want someone to suffer the same way he has.Īndrew Joseph Doe Minyard is the boy who went through life never having anything good, and the moment he did he decided to give up every ounce of self preservation to keep it just bc it made him happy. ![]()
