The Sunshine Court - Blog Posts
With finals finally wrapping up I've started the sunshine court. I'm not going to recover will I?
I know that as a collective fandom we lament over the fact that AFTG has chemically altered us, but does anybody have any books that potentially resemble the vibes?
Take my 99 cents Nora. Take it.
Making a prediction for TSC;
I think we're going to learn more about Renee's past. You know how like during the King's Men when Renee and Jean had that strange relationship thing going on and Jean like froze when he first saw her? I think it's because he actually recognized her from her time involved with gangs.
I'm not sure exactly what their past together is gonna be but Renee did kill an unnamed man so their situation is ripe with potentiel angst. Since we know that the next novel is Jeremy x Jean, it would be a tad strange for the implied Jean x Renee relationship to never be addressed.
Unless of course, we read into it wrong and they actually have a messy, bloody history...

Ever since I read the sunshine court like a month ago I have been plagued by visions of long-haired Jean Moreau

I can't make myself draw anything other than sketches, also I drew a fanart for tsc a year ago and since then I kept on thinking that I didn't draw Jean's appearances as detailed as I'd like to so I made up for it
"It was worlds more than he deserved. He feared it as much as he wanted it; the thought that this was his life now was terrifying."
"The Sunshine Court"
Nora. Where. Is. The. Sunshine.
I don’t feel like there is any sunshine or sunny thing IN THIS MF BOOK FULL OF TRAUMA.
Where is the sunshine Nora… where is it…
In preparation for The Golden Raven, here’s my little Bingo prediction cards.
(One of these are more serious than the other.)
I have many of thoughts about TSC. But to start off, I'm incredibly curious about Jeremy.
This book is dual POV between Jean and Jeremy. But the story revolves around Jean's journey. I think it makes a lot of sense considering he's been through so much—he needs the focus and time to get to where he is at the end. He's ready to open up and become his own person now for the next book. If that focus wasn't there on him, we might not fully feel this. Or if the focus was equally split, it might be a lot for one book. Cause I think Jeremy's got his own demons.
We know it's hinted at throughout. But that's it. Hints. Even in Jeremy's POV we barely get any insight. @kevindavidday mentioned that this very much might be done on purpose to show how Jeremy deals with his issues. Or that he doesn't deal with them, instead he distracts himself with those around him and tries to help them (i.e. Jean).
So just to go over what we know:
- Jeremy has a tumultuous relationship with his family.
- His family does not like Exy. They resent him for it.
- He doesn't get along with his step grandfather.
- Something odd about his siblings.
- He specifically avoids his older brother.
- Something happened after one of the banquets.
- He's gone/going to therapy, which apparently had helped him significantly.
- Despite him not liking living at home, there's an insinuation that he has to.
One theory I really want to put out there is about Jeremy's siblings. When Jean learns about the siblings, Cat stutters before saying the number. It leads me to believe that Jeremy's second brother is dead.
Taking into account that we have one scene with Jeremy's sister and at least know his older brother is in the house, that leaves one sibling unaccounted for. And considering the pause before saying the number, I think this indicates Cat was going to say "Two."
Taking this theory, does this connect to the banquet? Or at least why his family doesn't like Exy? There seems to have been an event that changed their family forever. Did his brother die because of something related to Exy?
Also who is his grandfather? Wealthy and seems to be a horrible person considering Jeremy of all people does not like him at all. What did he do to get Jeremy not to like him? Is he going to be a bigger player in the next book? Does he have a similar threatening influence that many high power figures have in the series?
I'm really excited to get these answers. We've spent so much time with Jean and his journey, I'm wilding to see Jeremy's. And how Jean might help him, just like how has Jeremy helped Jean.
I have things to say about their dynamic, too, but I'll leave that for a different post.
Been seeing so many aftg posts that my first thought seeing this at a vintage market was of Jeremey Knox
Just finished The Sunshine Court. Happy Thanksgiving i guess🫡✨️
Queer creative writing major order
Endure, he warned himself, and on its tail-end came a desperate How much must I?
renee walker (the living rainbow) who always has her nails painted a different color because color is such a beautiful thing, especially after you’ve been in the dark for so long
jean moreau, who starts painting his pinky nail whatever new color her nails are on their weekly skype call because it was 𝘩𝘦𝘳 color that pulled him out of the darkness, and the singular colored nail always reminds him of that rainbow he decided to live for
The way he tried to say he was a Moreau ONCE again (when Cat said "I love you" to him) and then stopped himself and almost choked 💀
Neil has a talent for saying exactly what will make an impact on someone. He uses that for evil or for good, depending solely on who is the person he is talking to
“I am a moreau”
“so was elodie”
clocked him so hard he didn’t dare mention it again in a whole as new book. he tried, I see you struggling jean dw, but he never got through with it
neil josten the man that you freaking are.
also i love when people like my posts after like months of me making the post you just know some poor person got swept up into the rabbit hole of a fandom and because of the lack of content had no other choice but to go on tumblr to satisfy the book hangover
LMAO I JUST TRIED TO TYPE ISTG BUT ENDED UP TYPING AFTG I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP-
I also saw my gym teacher holding a lacrosse racket and ended up tweaking about it for like 10 minutes.
collecting favourite (traumatized) aftg characters like im collecting pokemon
Someone with talent, draw Neil Josten with the finger guns please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
And if I get a peach tattoo because Jeans pure happiness at having a peach (and him hiding it for later) brought me to tears, then what??
Thinking about how Jeremy said something about people getting tired of the Trojans and never getting a red card and how people want the drama. Also how many posts I see about someone (jean, Jeremy, Cat, Lucas, etc) being the one to get the first red card...something something parallels...something something connections...
i am on my fifth reread of aftg so i can read tgr (not bc i don’t remember the plot but because it is as good excuse as any to reread them) and i will never cease to be insanely obsessed with these characters
tell me this is not Jean @ Jeremy and I’ll fight you with my bare hands
ok i get this But the thing is that neil wouldn't have been Who He Is if he'd been raised in the nest yf like he probably would have ended up in precisely the same position as jean if he'd been there all his life like he was intended to be so in order for him to bring jean the hope he ultimately ended up providing he needed to get out and grow up precisely the way he did, in this essay i will
Had to sit down because,, Neil is Jean’s misplaced forever partner. He got ONE hint at what Grayson did and got rid of him for good. Imagine how different things would’ve been for Jean if Neil had always been by his side. You know what Neil would’ve brought to the nest? Hope.
