WHAT A VOLUME

SO MUCH DRAMA?? so many twists and turns..... i literally love this season and im not afraid to say it anymore. literally there is so much to unpack this volume its actually crazy

MOST IMPORTANTLY. RAPH AND DAPH GOT DUMPED. an incredibly ballsy move from fusebox that i really respect. it really increases the stakes this season knowing people as relevant as them could get dumped. dont get me wrong im gonna miss raph so much... its just so unexpected that it works. the safe choice wouldve been for one of the useless/irrelevant couples to be dumped (ehem.. bonnie and joyo) but they dumped one of the strongest couples of the villa. super ballsy

Estelle (LIs ex) making up SHIT so that our LI would sleep on the day beds. funny crazy and a little immature? yes yes and yes. entertaining? HELL YES. i know some ppl on r3dd1t will complain about this, but who cares, its a game, its a funny and entertaining. besides, our life with out LI has been literally perfect since casa, and im so thirsty for any drama. i love it. plus we get to clear up the drama and ofc make up sex bc lets be real weve had like 10 opportunities to have sex in the villa

ALSO RAFAEL SNOGGED MC IN THE CHALLENGE. I didnt want to choose rafael because i wanted to be "respectful" but he ended up choosing MC anyway... omfg i screamed.

UMA BEING UMA AGAIN. okay im 100% on her side. she has done nothing wrong ever in her life. i know this and i love her. but its literally so crazy that they didnt really give any indication that raph was rejecting uma's advances. implying theres more to raph than we thought...... hes not as loyal as he says he is......

BONNIE AND JOYO literally acting like kids (theyre coupled up in my game). it makes so much sense considering they literally have ZERO connection in my game. i love that not everyone is mature and Right all the time and that some characters.... literally do the wrong thing all the time

JOYO BEING IN LOVEEEE WITH MC. i love ittttt. lots of LIs have had "crushes" on MC in the past but its never been this explicitly acknowledged. i really love how it opens up another slow burn route with joyo which i will probably play in the future ... nyehehe

okay lastly something I found weird.. the game says whoever we "marry" has significant impact in the future episodes. does this mean we cant graft and couple up with anyone else?? that would suck but also.. eh. its a weird thing that i wish didnt really have much impact because its literally just like a challenge

okay this was much longer than i thought but i think after all these years and seasons, ive never had a volume impact me THIS MUCH. there was so much info and so much drama. im so optimistic for the next volumes although tbh i dont expect them to top this one....

The Inscrutability of Alex

So I might be working on an S7 Alex fic. I mean, I'm probably not working that. But I could be. Maybe. Anyway, for mysterious reasons, I decided to replay the current episodes because I found myself confused by a couple things with Alex. And a second playthrough left me even more confused. I sent @mrsbsmooth a nearly three minute, babbling voice note, asking her if I was missing something, because I cannot figure out how to write him.

This character is described by multiple others as having "golden retriever" energy. Something he absolutely does not have. I'd say he's not even that playful. It's just bizarre for anyone to say that. Nothing about him is overly energetic. Both Raf and Bryson are much better described like that. Alex has the most whistle-whilst-mowing-the-lawn-in jorts-dad energy ever. Golden retriever he is not.

So okay, his energy doesn't match the description. That's not a huge issue on its own. But like...who is he? He says he's not cocky, just confident.

Hmmm. Never is a strong word, innit?

Now, a less cynical person might say that Fusebox is just writing a realistic depiction of someone who is unaware of his own cockiness, but since I am a cynical asshole, I'm saying that Fusebox is not in the business of nuance. They make the same amount of money whether they spend the extra energy to give it depth or not. So they're never gonna bother with that. This is just inconsistent writing. Now, we all know that Alex's most overtly acknowledged trait is his desire to "Take things slow." He says he's looking for the one, and he's not gonna rush that. He knows things move fast there, but he still wants to take his time. He didn't kiss Estelle on the first night. He was uncomfortable with Summer being so forward before he knew anything about her. So how does a guy who takes things slow answer a question from a virtual stranger about what he does for a living?

A dirty joke. Yes, very much setting the tone for his lack of cockiness and his desire to take things slow 🙄 Though I do enjoy MC responding with "Very presumptive, but good to know." 😆😆😆 Not to mention, when he finds out you can snog during the icebreaker, he's not like, "Um too soon." Instead his eyes light up like he can't wait. It's so baffling. So let's say maybe he's just a slow mover who is also really flirty by nature. That feels like he's sending mixed signals at best and manipulating you at the worst. Now this one really threw me for a loop. There's a gem scene where you can ask the boys to tell you something cute about themselves. Alex tells a story about having a crush on a gym bunny and how it led him to weightlifting in order to ask her out. But he kept putting it off and by the time he finally got the nerve, she was already dating someone. So he learned not to hesitate. He learned to just go for it.

Um... what? That's a strange perspective to have for someone whose entire ethos is "Take it slow." Now, I'm aware that he is very straight forward with MC about where his head is at, so perhaps he just meant that he doesn't waste time letting someone know he's interested, but he still wants to take the relationship slow? I don't know. Last, but not least, on night one, you couldn't even kiss Alex (unless I'm misremembering). You could only snuggle. But on night two, Alex says he still wants to take it slow, but he wants to a little something. So the game gives us some options. And the first choice was to do bits. Now, this might be my fault, but I assumed that "bits" in this case would be some kissing and making out. Heavy petting. Maybe some under the clothes touching. But, to my utter shock, no it's not just a heavy make out sesh. Nope. He finger blasts you. He straight up bypasses the face lips and tiddies, and goes straight to rubbing the bean and shoving a digit inside of your person. It's an awfully intimate act for someone like him who's only been alone with you three times, and beyond challenge smooches (if you chose to even take those), has still never really made out with, nor kissed you privately. I would like to clarify that I'm not judging how fast or slow anyone goes in their personal lives. But I am I'm judging this character's pace in relation to the things he's been saying about his pace.

I wrote most of this before the last batch of episodes so I'll only lightly touch on the fact that Alex seems nearly ready to ask you to marry him the day after bringing you to the villa. So "taking it slow" really went out the window altogether.

Long story long, there are aspects to Alex I like. I mean, I'm writing him right now (OR AM I?) so it's not all bad. But it's really hard to attempt any canon reinterpretation, when I can't even sort out what canon is.

It just doesn't make sense. Is he cocky or not? Is he a slow mover or does he believe in not wasting time? Is he an inner city gym rat bro, or is he a home-on-the-range papa who wants to build you a cottage, and make babies? Is his whole "slow burn" thing some kind of manipulation to hide that he's a fuckboy (which would be hilarious) or he's just very badly written?

I love a good, lively conversation, so go ahead and let me know your thoughts. But for those who are rather... overly invested in Alex, feel free to yell at me about his perfection and how wrong and dumb I am. I look forward to deleting your vitriol.

I just read you post about Alex and I agree!!!! I mean I’m on his route and I like him thus far but you’re right he’s just kinda…. Inconsistent??? Like in last week’s episodes he doesn’t want to kiss the first night your back in the villa to be respectful. Sure completely understandable. I get it. But what surprised me is that he’s will to sleep with mc the next night in the hideaway???? Tbh I clicked “go all the way” expecting him to say he wanted to wait and that it was too fast for him but he was absolutely down?? And I was so confused. I was like dude didn’t you say you take it slow and now you’re gonna sleep with someone you haven’t even known a week?? I liked him initially bc he was a guy who didn’t like to rush into things but I guess what he meant was wait 10 minutes then he’ll be down for anything lol

Haha, that's the reality of Alex. Much like midwestern US weather, if you wanna watch him change completely, just wait a few minutes 😆

I really liked how he wanted to be respectful of Estelle the first night, but you're right, he changes his tune fast. I was surprised that, at the challenge the next day, he gets so hot and bothered by MC's run that he'll make out with you, to the point of you wrapping a leg around him, and it seems like there's grinding, all while Estelle is basically standing beside you both.

I just think it would have been more interesting if 1) it turned out his "take it slow" stuff was just something he did to differentiate himself from the rest of the boys, but he got so caught up in MC and being horny for her that he lost track of that false persona or 2) if the writers really played up his distress with how much he wants MC and it being counter to his values about relationships. Like if he seemed a little torn about moving too fast, but being too drawn to her to slow down. And you could add in his worry about Evan making him territorial, so he moves faster because he's worried about losing MC if he keeps slowing them down. This could lead to a really nice arc of MC reassuring him that she's happy with the pace he's set (or that she's not and she dumps him). Either of those would be interesting and would use this singular trait of his that is beaten into us, to its fullest. But they'd both require writers who intentionally made him inconsistent so they could use it to drive the plot. And welllllll... let's just say I'm not giving Fusebox the benefit if the doubt when it comes to their writing.

Thanks so much for stopping by, Anon! I was kind of worried that no one was gonna agree with me 🥰

sorry but alex’s whole speech where he was like “I wanna know everything about you I wanna know what you look like in the passenger seat of my car” was the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard omg?

wait omg i didnt even consider that some of the girls could bring home new boys that would be so much fun

Kinda hoping there’ll be an LI in the villa who was just using one of the OG girls to gain a spot on the show so that we can have the option of 2 casa bombshells winning the season together

YES PLEASE

Please help🙏😓

hiii, so i know i’ve never really posted, mainly because i don’t really use tumblr 😓 but i need help deciding whether or not to release a Will x MC fanfic onto ao3

its about them becoming parents, a little weird i know, but i was really inspired by the chat they had in the hot tub about having kids and i haven’t seen anyone write about it so i decided to

(i will publish the first chapter if this gets positive feedback so ppl can read it ^v^)

Season 4 did it better

Hi! How'd you get all those gems for season 6?

Sorry, just saw this! heres what i did:

1. make sure you are logged in to your account in game ** i recommend using a second back up account JUST in case something goes wrong

2. download a hacked version of LITG. you can get this by searching “litg mod apk” on google or something similar. be smart about it though make sure the website is trustworthy!!

I have an iPhone so I cant simply just download an app from google, so heres what i did: (you can skip these steps if you own an android)

download bluestacks or another android emulator on a laptop

download the litg modded apk on that laptop, and run it through the emulator

3. after making sure the modded app works (unli gems, etc) sign into the modded app with THE SAME account

4. after you signed in, the gems from the mod are now technically in your account. meaning if you sign in the app on another advice, even if its not modded, the gems will still show up

The process looks daunting but you only have to do it once!! I did this last year and I still have loads of gems. good luck and have fun!!

BABY CHALLENGEEEE HELL YEAH

Facial Expressions of Future Islanders:

Please Ms Ivy just a little taste. Please Ivy I’ll do anything for you I’ll beg on my knees please Ivy I would lay down my life for you anything for you Ivy

Will as a dad 🥺🤍

Inspired by @wardingoffevil 🖤

A/n: I couldn't find a dad with tattoos so this will do from the drafts

He would be an amazing, laid back and chilled dad

Disciplining would be shared. Neither of you would always have to be the bad guy, and neither of you would always get to be the good guy. Wills kids would be very well behaved and very kind. He would raise his children very well, to always respect people and be kind even on bad days. His children would learn first-hand how good a person teach how to be nice to mc because of how well he cherishes you, and secondly how you should hold yourself

I can see will wanting three little kids, but he would be happy with only one as well. He’s always wanted kids, even since he was younger, and headcanon he's a only child but he would be happy with only one, but also with a bigger family

Even on his worst days, willi would be so excited to get home to you and your kids, leaving all his annoyance at work and grinning as you and your children come over to hug him

He would love to watch the baby grow up with you, seeing you being so motherly always manages to warm his heart. And not to mention, he would have so much fun decorating the nursery, moving with you if you had a baby and there wasn’t enough room in your apartment, etc.

OMG if i made a love island social media au mainly with s4 characters would you guys be interested???

not a single attractive person in s5 i genuinely dont care anymore

idk hes kinda cute…..

PETE

when i said i wanted will to come back this wasnt what i meant😭

fusebox slayyyy
