kevin voice! i do love me some kevin. ^_^ he's not always honest and he's not particularly bright, but he loves and trusts his brothers, and will do anything for them. and man, he takes things literally - "like you're his damn idiot wife that he has to order around or else you'll spend all your allowance on a new hat." "i don't wear hats." heh. i really like what you did with the prompt, too.

Thank you :) I saw the prompt and was all, "Yeah, but Kevin would be on *anything*..." but he would follow Tommy anywhere, so!

I really liked this! I like the angst between Jimmy and Tommy, which is very, very real. I liked Kevin's diatribe about Fucking terriers, he should’ve known better. :)

I also liked that Kevin isn't falling into what Jimmy is saying. He hears it, but he still believes in Tommy, which is nice and a cool insight into why Kevin DOES do what Tommy tells him.

Thanks!

Thanks so much! I've really been interested in the conflict on the show between Tommy and Jimmy and thinking about how everyone else would have to cope with that.

“God damn it, here’s a condom. Jimmy is not a reliable source of information about reproduction. No, neither are the nuns. Jesus fuck.”
*snicker*

Oh, Kevin. *pats him* I like how you did this, how Kevin sees all this stuff and sort of feels helpless but then he perks up and he's going to go and do something stupid to try to help and OH, KEVIN.

Kevin is like a puppy. A really well meaning and wants to do the right thing but he just gets over excited and pees on the new carpet and chews your shoes BUT HE'S SORRY ABOUT IT-puppy. I am quite fond (not Tommy or Jenny fond, but *FOND*)

Thank You :D

(new fandom high is the BEST THING EVER. It's kinda like being drunk, but I can totally be NEW FANDOM HIGH and go to school and work and stuff!)

Yaaaay! You used my prompt! \o/

Oh gosh, I love this. You have Kevin's voice, so totally down pat.

Yeah, horses were never good, but dogs? Who can’t rely on *dogs*? They’re supposed to be loyal animals that do… good stuff. Okay, he can’t rely on dogs, but he didn’t know that at the time. Fucking terriers, he should’ve known better.

Ahhahaha. This is SO KEVIN. *hearts*

It was just one of those things that I saw looking over the prompts and was all, "OH. Well that's probably not what that person means, and YET!" So, I'm glad you liked it :D

Kevin is so much fun, he's just... adorable in his Kevin-ness.
