Thinking about this again. Aaron Minyards characterization goes crazy dude

Aaron Minyard is a dick yes but he’s a dick because he’s a scared ex-addict kid who’s desperately clawing at anything he can to be “normal” and not a Fox™.

Date the sweet cheerleader who also wants to be a doctor, get the 4.0 gpa, become a surgeon, Stay Away From The Foxes because association means he’s damaged and he’s Not Damaged anymore and definitely don’t talk to the therapist because that means he needs help which he Does Not Need. Keep the appearance of the “normal Minyard”.

He grew up in an abusive home with an addict mother who made him into an addict. Keeping up the normal appearance has been the name of the game his entire life, it’s second nature. Don’t let anyone suspect anything. Being apart of the Foxes comes with a reputation and that scares Aaron, it threatens a rickety appearance he’s oh so carefully built to protect himself from others (and mostly himself tbh).

Being an asshole and outwardly a dick is his trauma response. It’s the result of his refusal to process and come to terms with his past. He’s a dick to others because he’s the biggest dick to himself.

(Me personally, I also think his homophobia comes from a place of internalized shame and homophobia. Once again, he grew up with it drilled into him that he Needs to be “normal” and put together and I assume he probably also grew up religious ((his uncles a homophobic pastor who boarder line hates his own son)). Aaron grew up seeing how Nicky was treated for being openly gay. If he started having any thoughts about being anything other than straight, his first response would be anger and shame that’s expressed outwardly.)

His response to his internal shame and anger is to lash outwards at others rather than process it. (which isn’t an excuse, I just don’t think he’s an asshole because he’s an asshole at his core but because he carries a lot of shame.)

I think him rooming with Matt is what would really help him improve his ability to process his shit. (Along with more joint therapy with Bee and Andrew). Seeing Matt, another ex addict, who is fiercely kind and protective of the Foxes, who’s unashamed of his past and how it affects him now would be an eye opener for Aaron. His past doesn’t define him but it’s not something he can deny either.

Matt helps him see the Foxes as a group who has overcome their struggles. Who are helping eachother continue to over come their struggles. And he slowly starts to realize he can let them in and he can accept his past and still be successful and have the life he wants. And start to process and change the way he reacts the way he does.

(And process his not straight thoughts bc bi Aaron is real in my heart)

Me rambling about these under the cut

Here’s my thought process behind each one

Top left: Kevin took this picture of Aaron. They found a chess board at some formal event and played instead of socializing

Top middle: them at a fox party. Aaron’s the one flipping the camera off

Top right: this one I thought just looked similar to how I imagine their hand size difference. I don’t think they’re big hand holders but they still like to mess with each others fingers when they’re standing next to each other

Bottom left: them kissing :p

Bottom middle: Aaron took this picture of Kevin reading. He’s always reading something, usually something historical or Exy related

Bottom right: this one is just how I imagine Aaron’s hair to look. Also I’m a Kevin arm tattoo believer

They’re just little nerd boyfriends who are obsessed with each but casual/cool about it when in public but they’re still attached at the hip

My take is that whenever Foxes play Marry, Kill, fuck they always chose to kill Kevin. Not because it's what they want, no no because it's the funniest option for three simple reasons.

A) Kevin believes every game can be lose or won, Marry Kill Fuck included.

B) And of course Marry is the winning option, Kill the losing one, while fuck is just lukewarm second place, in his world.

C) And the most important thing - Kevin absolutely hates losing.

That being said, anytime some Fox chose to kill him he rages and argues and in so many details its almost a presentation, explains how he would be a great husband! He would! Fuck you!

Foxes love it. Watching Kevin rage quit in marry kill fuck game is absolutely a highlight of the day.
