°☼ ◜ xavier serrano, cismale, he/him ◞ ∗ ∘ good to see you again, calvin marx. you're twenty-three now, right ? i heard you’ve been streaming professionally on twitch … crazy how time flies. you were always known as the crimson. i’m glad to see you’re just as gregarious as always — and volatile, too .. kidding ! bella used to always mention it …you were her bad influence, after all. don’t worry, we’ll find her soon. what matter is that we’re together now, right ? not really. + thrift-store clothing, bruised knuckles, a scent of cologne & cigarettes. + watermelon sugar by harry styles.

...001. BRIEF HISTORY.

calvin grew up very underprivileged for the first 11 years of his life in brooklyn, ny.

his father died when he was 5 years old to a drug overdose, leading his mother became a single mother to him and his younger sister, essentially meaning that calvin had to grow up and be the ‘man of the house’ without having a choice.

because of her new single-mother status, calvins mother had to work 3 different jobs in order for the family to pay rent (a cleaner in mornings, a store assistant in the day and a bartender in the evenings), which meant she was rarely home and left calvin to raise both himself and younger sister.

from a very early age, it was apparent that calvin suffered from anger issues, dyslexia and adhd, constantly getting into fights at every opportunity, his complete inability to focus and never managing to make it through a week at school without a phone call home.

these issues remained untreated, due to his mother putting it down to the ‘boys will be boys’ ideology, and concluding that calvin was just an energetic one at that.

because of this, calvin fell into the wrong crowd pretty quickly and settled into his mindset that he was never going to achieve all that much anyway, because no matter how hard he tried, he could never score well on any test at school.

at the age of 9, calvins mother met, fell in love with and soon married a former client for whom she cleaned for. calvins new step father was incredibly wealthy, due to being a successful franchisee and also being very largely into stock trading.

calvin, his sister and mother were all moved to his home in wilmington, which calvin struggled to adjust to, as he missed his friends back north.

he quickly made friends with the clique as he was brought into it by jordan and it did put some ease on his pressure, but part of him always felt like he should still be back in brooklyn.

now having access to as much money as he want led him down an early path into experimenting with drugs and alcohol, which soon became a bad habit.

although he wanted to drop out of school, his new step-father would not allow it, which became a large source of conflict for the family over the course of the next few years.

failing to graduate high school at age eighteen, calvin couldn’t deal with living with his family any more and left the house to move into a small apartment, 30 minutes away, with a roommate (possibly a member of the clique).

calvins only real passions were for gaming and sport, and as he smoked and did way too many drugs to make it in any sporting profession, he turned his attention to twitch streaming. he began this pretty soon and built up a solid fanbase (which he wanted to call the marxists, but in calvins words, apparently some dead man already claimed that title).

...002. PERSONALITY.

calvin is a naturally angry person who can lose his cool and go from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds, he rarely gives off signs that he is getting angry until he boils over, so people tend to watch what they say around him.

calvin is self-serving, his feelings will always come before those around him. although he is getting better at managing this, if something will result in calvin gaining something at the expense of somebody else, he will most likely go ahead with it.

calvin is not well educated, so he doesn’t tend to enjoy arguing with words, as he can never seem to find the ones to correctly express how he feels. instead, calvin is much more likely to act physically when something has irritated him (whether this be on a person or inanimate object).

calvin is an awful liar, he cannot lie to save his life as his face always tends to show when he doesn’t agree with an idea/opion/thought that somebody says. because of this, he is very outspoken, and will just say what he’s thinking regardless of if it’s going to hurt somebodies feelings. he’d rather upset them with the truth, than get caught out for lying.

calvin is an extrovert and gains energy from being around people - the more people the better, because of this, he has become a major party animal and loves attending any and all parties that is going on, despite if he’s fond of the hosts or not.

calvin is a heavy user of drugs, alcohol & cigarettes. this is primarily down to his naturally addictive personality and constant need to feel like he’s happy, so that he doesn’t get sad again. there will rarely be a day where he will not be intoxicated in some way and he will have a cigarette at least once an hour -- and that’s on a good day.

calvin is very much into sports. although not a natural athlete, nor somebody interested in playing sports competitively, calvin loves watching any and all sports, and he likes to play them when he can. due to his smoking habit, he can’t play sports for too long, but will always give it a good go.

similarly to this, calvin is very much into gaming. calvin loves fast-paced games, because they manage to keep his attention despite him not having a very long attention span. most games that he plays are first person shooters, and he’s usually the guy on the mic screaming when a teammate fucks up during online play. a big appeal to him was that games were the only thing he could focus his mind on as a child.

calvin is very much a boys boy, he genuinely abides by the bible of ‘ bros before hoes ‘ because he’s stupid.

calvin hates movies but loves tv, he finds that watching moves involves sitting still for too long, but tv allows him to take more breaks and keeps his interest for longer. although. he’d probably trade both of them for a chance to leave the house.

...003. TRAITS.

[ G R E G A R I O U S ] (+) — a person fond of company; sociable.

[ I N T U I T I V E ] (+) — using or based on what one feels to be true even without conscious reasoning; instinctive.

[ F O R T H R I G H T ] (+) — direct and outspoken.

[ V O L A T I L E ] (-) — liable to change rapidly and unpredictably, especially for the worse.

[ V E N G E F U L ] (-) — not willing to forgive or excuse people's faults or wrongdoings.

[ H E D O N I S T I C ] (-) — engaged in the pursuit of pleasure; sensually self-indulgent.

...004. BELLA KIM.

when calvin met bella, he never took too much of a shine to her, deeming her to be a rather fake individual and not understanding the rest of the groups investment with her. however, because he was a new introduction to the group and not there from the beginning, calvin felt he couldn’t really speak up and vocalise that without being dropped from the group himself.

for whatever reason, bella herself took a liking to calvin and he decided to use this to his advantage. for a girl with such a clean reputation, it seemed only the sensible thing to try and corrupt her -- which proved successful.

calvin introduced bella to the world of bad decisions and the two spent many nights breaking several laws and it created a sort of bond that only the pair really understood. they never talked about anything personal -- or, if they did, they were too high to remember -- but calvin saw a side to bella that not many others did, which he liked.

after moving out, calvin and bellas meetings became much less frequent as the group drifted apart. they would still meet up for occasional meet-ups, their last one being 3 months before the disappearance of bella.

calvin does not believe that she is alive and is dealing with it, as expected, not very well.

...005. WANTED CONNECTIONS.

CURRENT BEST FRIENDS — Possibly a boy squad? I live for a good boy squad. This person will have similar interests to Calvin, or be able to tolerate his volatile mood.

CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS — Someone with a similar upbringing from Brooklyn, most likely they grew apart when Calvin moved to Wilmington.

RIDE OR DIES — Although he primarily looks out for himself, I’m down to have Calvin have one person who he’s loyal to and will refuse to betray, we can come up with a fun reason for why he cares so much if you’re interested in this one.

HIS ROOMMATE — Somebody that moved with Calvin into his current apartment when he moved out at 18.

A GOOD INFLUENCE ON CALVIN — One of my favorite connections for Calvin to have is somebody who knows all of his flaws and attempts to help fix them. They’ll have to be patient, though, as Calvin doesn’t see himself for having any issues.

SOMEBODY HE IS A BAD INFLUENCE OF — On the opposite, I love when Calvin has somebody that he can introduce to bad things, corrupt easily and get a kick out of watching the commotion.

EXES ON BAD TERMS — Cheating on each other is usually an easy one to go with, but if you want, we can think of something more unique as to how it all fucked up and why they now hate each other.

EXES ON GOOD TERMS — Maybe they still occasionally fuck? There could still be an attraction there, but just no romantic chemistry. Alternatively, they tried it and both just couldn’t see it going anywhere.

EXES WITH LINGERING FEELINGS — There’s a ton of different reasons for why there’s still lingering feelings. The feelings could be one-sided or both ways.

EX FLINGS — Started as friends with benefits, one of them wanted more, the other didn’t, they decided to stop before someone got hurt.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS — No romantic intention, just a good way to kill time at 2 AM, or maybe it’s easy to know you have someone to go home to if you don’t find someone at a party.

FRIENDS FOR NECESSITY — This friend may not have that much in common with Calvin, they may not really get on in day to day life, but they are always there to get high, attend a party or do something dumb. an easy person to talk to when they’re both bored and wanna get out.

HIS YOUNGER SISTER — If anybody fancies a second character, I’m always down to have Calvins sister in the roleplay. They can either get along or not, we’ll just figure out the details.

EX FRIENDS — Used to be close but now aren’t, plenty of reasons as to why.

ENEMIES — Despise each other, seeing this person literally makes Calvins blood boil. Possibly sexual tension too if that would work, if not, they can just fight a lot.

WILL THEY / WON’T THEY — Lots of leading on and teasing each other, maybe they both think they’re stringing the other along but it turns out neither of them are interested? Maybe they start out not interested and it backfires later, by that time the other could’ve lost interest.

ANY OTHER IDEAS YOU THINK WILL WORK !

...006. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

Calvin is bisexual but heteroromantic, so any sexual-based connections can be taken by any gender.

Calvins Pinterest can be located here. Please note that it contains triggers for alcohol, drugs, blood & violence.

June Forecast for Leo

Get out and connect, Leo. The Sun is soaring through Gemini and your eleventh house of group action until June 21, putting you in social and collective spirits. As collaborations heat up, look for synergies in your circle and ask mutual friends to make helpful introductions. Lions are communal creatures, so make like your astrological animal and band together so everyone thrives. While last month had a more serious, goal-focused energy, this one is more about letting possibilities unfold. Keep your eye on your big-picture mission, but don’t lead every conversation with an agenda. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on valuable input from friends, colleagues and even perfect strangers. Hold a curious, open mind—and see what that attracts!

The June 13 Gemini new moon is an especially strong day to network and join your superpowers with an eclectic crew. Group endeavors will develop between now and the corresponding November 23 Gemini full moon. Don’t limit yourself to in-person alliances, Leo. The eleventh house rules technology, making this lunar launch pad a great day to make an online debut or to start the digital component of a project. Anything with a humanitarian or socially aware mission gets bonus points from this #woke new moon.

Father’s Day is June 17, and the Leo moon will inspire a spirit of novelty. If you’re celebrating favorite father figures, do something different than the usual barbecue or obligatory Hallmark-card-and-wallet gift. (A handwritten letter expressing genuine love and gratitude, on the other hand, gets the green light!) Take the reins and organize a fun experience, like going to a live show, a sports game or a movie. But watch out for a frisson of friction from a Venus-Mars opposition that’s building steam that day. With combative Mars in your interpersonal zone, some people may have their own strong opinions on how to spend the holiday. Compromise, but push back if needed. With the moon in your assertive first house, you’re the best person to steer this ship.

The rest of the month takes a different tone as Neptune and Mars turn retrograde, bringing the total retrograde planet count to five. (Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are already in their slowed-down cycles.) This time is better used for reflection and behind-the-scenes planning than forcing things to move ahead at your usual warp speed.

You’ll be glad to ease into a gentler vibe starting June 21, when the Sun downshifts into Cancer and your restful twelfth house until July 22. This is a time for closure, healing and some extra shuteye as you process the previous 12 months and prepare for a fresh start with Leo season (and your birthday!). Take those vacation days, escape to the beach or get lost in a creative project—your flowy and receptive side is dialed up to its highest setting. Reach out for support if you’re going through a tough time or struggling to finish a difficult project. All month long, really, teamwork and a “one for all, all for one” attitude is your saving grace. ‘Tis NOT nobler to suffer and sacrifice, Leo.

Now, back to this month’s retrogrades. As hazy Neptune and combative Mars both make U-turns, the cosmos could call for some relationship repair work. Both planets will do an about-face in the committed partnership parts of your chart, Neptune from June 18 to November 24, and Mars from June 26 to August 27. You could spend a good part of the summer hashing out differences, working through interpersonal conflicts or negotiating the terms of detailed contracts. Everything from shared money to sex to business partnerships may be up for review. An old love interest could resurface (tempting you mightily), or you might have to deal with past relationship issues that you thought you’d resolved.

Neptune’s five-month backspin through Pisces will emphasize on your eighth house of merging, intimacy and shared resources. The nebulous planet makes this U-turn at approximately the same dates each year, and for the eighth summer in a row, you may have to sort through emotional confusion or “it’s complicated”-style entanglements. Guilt and passive-aggressive manipulation may figure in—for example, maybe you’ve lent a partner a significant chunk of money, but YOU “feel bad” asking for repayment.

Be careful with real estate purchases; foggy Neptune retrograde in your property sector can cloud your judgment. Neptune is related to waterworks and plumbing, so if you’re house hunting, check the pipes as well as ANY area that could have mold or water damage. If you’re selling, try some of vibe-y Neptune’s spiritual and artistic techniques, like Feng Shui and home staging to shift the energy. And if you’re moving or renting, screen potential roommates (and nearby neighbors), as your energy might not mesh as well as you initially think. The key to surviving Neptune retrograde is clarity. Spell out all terms before agreeing to anything…and don’t second-guess yourself or apologize when you do.

On June 26, brazen Mars will join the retrograde brigade, downshifting until August 27. Mars will spend most of this cycle in your opposite sign of Aquarius, ratcheting up tension in your seventh house of relationships. A bond that’s been developing since mid-May could hit a stumbling block. Contentious Mars can put you at loggerheads with a close tie, and the retrograde only makes it harder to sort through conflict. If you’re parting ways, either romantically or professionally, try to retract those claws, Lion—otherwise, fur could fly!

The drama gets put in check over the next couple days as more practical matters take precedence. On June 27, the annual Sun-Saturn opposition touches down in your health and healing sectors. Allowing someone to push your buttons only hurts YOU in the end. If you stoop to their level, it makes you no better. While it’s hard to take the high ground, boundaries may be in order with a person who’s constantly triggering you. Stern Saturn reminds you that “adulting” means being responsible for your own actions and letting others deal with the consequences of theirs. Cut those codependent cords and stop making excuses for people’s bad behavior.

Your wellness is also in the spotlight, especially on June 28, when the year’s only Capricorn full moon illuminates your sixth house of health, organization and service. If you’ve had a nagging condition, this day could bring some answers (and hopefully a remedy). Stress you’ve been tamping down could reach a boiling point.

Do you need to delegate? The sixth house rules helpful people, so look at what you can outsource instead if doing it all yourself. With structured Saturn hovering nearby, it’s time to prioritize and plan instead of biting off more than you (yes, even you) can humanly handle. Remember that “No” is a complete sentence and employ it liberally as June comes to a close. That way, you can say yes to the things that resonate with your soul. Sometimes, Leo, less really is more.

Love & Romance

With vivacious Venus hunkered down in Cancer and your fantasy-fueled twelfth house until June 13, you might not be seeing a person or a situation through a clear lens. But while your imagination is this active, use it to spin a little enchantment back into your love life. This is a fruitful cycle for doing creative visualizations about an ideal partner or more passionate relationship. Note: You may have to repeatedly remind yourself of the difference between a sweet dream and reality. If someone promises one thing but doesn’t come through, resist the temptation to make excuses for them.

Meanwhile, the other love planet, Mars, is turning up the heat in Aquarius and your partnership realm from May 16 to August 12. If you’re single, this can give you the wherewithal to get back up on the horse that threw you—or check out a new stable. Couples may decide to join a sports league or do more outdoorsy things together. But when Mars turns retrograde for two months on June 26 (until August 27), you might need to rein in a wild stallion, or reconsider a connection that’s not turning out the way you’d hoped. Of course, if it’s just a momentary hiccup, waste no time reconciling—and enjoying some torrid makeup sex.

On June 13, Venus will blaze into your sign until July 9, sparking your mojo but also making you crave a little more independence. After three weeks in moody Cancer, the moon in larger-than-life Leo can help you disengage from someone’s life and refocus on your own.

Watch for a few “course corrections” in the second half of the month as Venus butts heads with some planetary bigshots. On June 14, she squares Uranus in steadfast Taurus, which could set off an epic battle of the wills. On June 21, the cosmic lovebirds oppose each other, which may ignite some ego or control issues. Finally, on June 25, Venus clashes with expansive Jupiter in your home zone. You may have to clip your own wings and pay more attention to your mate or others who’ve missed you—and are making no bones about letting you know!

Key Dates

June 5: Venus-Pluto Opposition You could experience some confusion about a love interest’s trustworthiness today. Are they behaving badly, or are you imagining it? You don’t want to get burned, but neither do you want to risk projecting your own issues onto someone who’s innocent. Stop blaming others for your own risky choices. Owning your mistakes—or misjudgments—gives you power.

Money & Career

Network like a boss, Leo! The Sun is in Gemini and your vivacious eleventh house of teamwork and technology until June 21. Chatty Mercury is there, too, until June 12, lending you charm and wit in any meeting or social setting. Take advantage of this period to up your social media game and pitch your best ideas, especially at the June 13 Gemini new moon. Online projects get a special boost now.

Partnerships could heat up fast, so don’t be surprised if you go from cocktails to contracts in short order! Someone you meet at an industry event might turn out to be the missing link—or so it seems. But because impatient Mars gives the tendency to rush, explore thoroughly before signing on the dotted line. The red planet will turn retrograde from June 26 to August 27, which could bring delays or reveal a few dodgy details you overlooked in your enthusiasm.

With five planets retrograde by the end of the month (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune AND Pluto), the summer slowdown will be legitimately on. Press pause and correct course on any areas that are off-kilter or moving too fast. Better to retrace your steps now than have to fix a big mess later. The June 28 full moon in your administrative sixth house can help you make a detailed master plan. You could hire or fire people on Team Leo, implement a new scheduling system or do a major decluttering. Clear away the old and watch the energy start flowing again.

Key Dates

June 27: Sun-Saturn Opposition You can’t build a house on a shaky foundation, and this cosmic face-off will reveal the cracks in your structure. Wishful thinking won’t cut it—you may have to rebuild from the ground up. Saturn helps you slow down and take the reality check you missed before. Even if this day brings a humbling moment, keep your chin up and carry on with grace.

Love Days: 26, 4 Money Days: 11, 19 Luck Days: 8, 17 Off Days: 15, 29, 6

Will u talk about that fma pic you just reblogged because it sounds like it's got symbolism but I'm not sure what it is and I am very intrigued

*breaks fingers* HOENHEIM OUT HERE LOOKIN LIKE GOLDEN JESUS.let’s talk about one of my favorite visually symbolic tropes: the crucified christ pose, or as tvtropes calls it, the crucified hero shot.

im not sure how much religious background the people reading this will have, so let’s start with the basics. in christianity, jesus was crucified by the romans on a cross, in what is regarded as one of the most painful kinds of death anyone can suffer. this involves nails through the hands and feet, arms outstretched so that he hung there for hours until he suffocated or died from major organ failure. the bible says that although he could have avoided the unjust death penalty, he chose to die in the ultimate gesture of sacrifice, redemption, and unconditional love to save the world from their sin, although the world hated him and had him killed. the theology of the crucifixion is that the wrath of God that was meant for mankind’s sins was poured out on jesus when he made his sacrifice on the cross.

in media the outstretched-arms pose is typically used when someone (the hero) makes a sacrifice to save someone else. they might die or take a blow/blast from the villain and be left with their arms spread wide and possibly their head hung in death. rarely is the pierced hands trope used. it isn’t always meant to draw God/jesus parallels, but it does here. hohenheim is the greatest sacrificial tragedy of fma, and in my good christian opinion, the most deserving of this christ-trope. he was given immense power but he sacrificed everything to save the word and save his children. in that screencap, he’s a broken physical barrier between his son and the monstrosity that could destroy the world - arms outstretched in protection and sacrifice, head hung in pain. christ on the cross.

van hohenheim used up his philosopher’s stone to protect his son edward from a blast that would have killed him. until this point edward harbored extreme resentment towards his father and never once made an effort to forgive him or treat him as something other than the man who walked out on his family when they needed him. despite later knowing hohenheim’s reasons for leaving and understanding why he had to leave, edward does not change his outward attitude towards his father. it saddens hohenheim to see his son’s hostility to him, but he’s never angry at ed for it. i believe it’s this instant - when hohenheim intercepts the wrath of father in a physical act of salvation to save the son who never loved him - that something switches inside ed and this is the catalyst for his forgiveness to his father. this act of sacrifice is unconditional and that’s what it means to love, and that’s the example that christ on the cross represents. i believe this action is why ed finally cries when hohenheim offers his life for al’s, because ed has seen how much his father would give for his family and he understands the guilt that plagues his father because its the same guilt that plagues him for his wrongs.

thanks for coming to my TED talk

i can think of five other instances when this pose/trope is used (also if anyone thinks of any others, please lmk so i can analyze the crap out of them)

1. when greed gets boiled down to philosopher’s stone juice, in the manga he’s tied to a crucifix. the scene was animated differently probably to appeal better to western audiences – because japan is not entrenched in christian symbolism the way america is, it wouldn’t be seen as making a religious reference or even sacrilegious to some (a deadly sin incarnate on a cross?? how EVIL). if we want to go ahead and analyze that bit even though its not meant to be a religious motif, we might say that greed on a crucifix represents the twisted nature of father and his seven sins. he wants so desperately to be god and have the knowledge and power of god, so he ‘crucifies’ his son. twisted. (the dwarf in the flask, i might add, is a sweet sweet take on biblical descriptions of lucifer… more on that in another post) (maybe) but we can also look at this as being something of an unjust punishment for greed’s rebellion against father. he didn’t really do anything wrong, right? he just wanted some friends.

2. kimblee. kimblee kimblee kimblee. this is a weird villainous example and I’m not quite sure if it counts, but i’m including it anyway because it feels significant. idk. after heinkel rips out kimblee’s jugular, he’s bleeding out in the grass with his arms outstretched but instead of looking crucified or sacrificial, he just looks powerless. limp. he can’t move. i think it’s not an intentional christ pose. i think his hands are spread as far from each other as they can be to show that he cannot transmute anymore and he is the epitome of powerless. do with this information what you will.

3. ok when wrath literally stabs roy THROUGH THE PALMS WITH HIS ARMS OUTSTRETCHED ON THE TRANSMUTATION CIRCLE can you get any more obvious??? roy wanted to be a savior to amestris, and help it start anew after he overthrew the old regime and what happened? he was stabbed through the hands and forced through the portal - which is one of the most traumatizing things that can happen in the fma world. usually the main character in the show is the savior-archetype, but on promised day, ed’s just in it to get his brother back and punch out god if need be. saving the world’ is roy’s goal, not ed’s. roy (and olivier) is the one who makes the big political moves and has the long-term goal of freeing amestris from the homunculi that control it (saving the world from their sins!! what!) and creating a better world from a fresh start. and he gets sacrificed for it with swords driven through his outstretched hands.

4&5. after alphonse sacrifices his soul for ed’s arm, his arms fall back to the ground in the crucifix position. al has sacrificed his own soul, the only thing he has left, and when the transmutation is complete, ed is the one pinned (’nailed’ through the arm!!) with his arms outstretched. with the culmination of the only thing al had left to give, the transfer of sacrificial hero was literally placed on edward and it’s up to him to save the world & his baby brother. from the moment ed kneels by his brother’s broken spread-crucifix armor until the moment ed transmutes his door (,,,, prayer symbolism in ed’s transmutations… maybe i need to make a post for that) and leaves with alphonse, there’s this expectancy, this weight of ‘what is he going to do? what can he possibly sacrifice?’, and all that starts with that crucifix-trope-transfer from al to ed. fma is about love and sacrifice and most people equate sacrifice with death but fma says sacrifice is simply being willing to die for the sake of unconditional love.

#fullmetal alchemist #fma #icnat beleave i get to talk about my two loves on tumble ……. jesus and fma #this is obscenely long and i am sorry i just have a lot of feelings #in this house we love and support one (1) human philosopher's stone #christposting #meta #anon #long post #also i didnt check for typos so i apologize

EPISODE #2

After Isaac is evicted, will Ricky reach his boiling point? Andrew takes stock of who he has in the game and attempts to make a giant move to shake up the house. Will his efforts be in vein, find out now on Gilmore Girls Big Brother!

Nick

https://youtu.be/pwkuCeiYJTY

Andrew

so the way to talk to randy ive found out it just to feed into his trolly conversation and really talk about nothing of substance and then ig he'll like u idk

how my relationships are going:

Sammy - closest ally right now. I want to convince him it’s just him and I against the world, maybe just with some help from Ricky/Karen/drew. He didn’t like the first eviction and I wanna capitalize on that Ricky - close but we haven’t talked much. Know he can be a number for me Karen - same as Ricky but I trust her slightly less bc she’s a WOMAN Drew - trust for now, I think he would hopefully have my best interests in my pre jury Clash - really trying to make him comfy with me so I can manipulate his 16 y/o brain to do whatever I want with very subtle tactics. I wanna show I support him but still sway him Randy - trying to keep him on my good side cuz I know he can win comps Dan - we haven’t talked a ton but I think we’re close enuff atm. He said he wants to work with me closely Adrian - I really like Adrian? Hopefully a new pal outside of this? He can be useful but idk how to manipulate him yet Dani - dunno yet. She’s cool enough but idk if she would actually work with me Madison - don’t trust.. she doesn’t seem to show any interest in a game relationship so yikes Bobby - need to talk to more. Kinda same as Dani Liana - I trust her enough for now but know she can be a cutthroat crackhead. Keeping at an arms length Chelsea - she’s really cool and I just wanna keep building a relationship with her. Trying to work off of our mutual friendship with billy tbh JG - idk how I feel yet. I can’t get a read on him at all which is worrisome but I like him personally obvi Nick - WAY too hard to read and can be difficult to talk to but in case he wins comps I wanna be on his side so he doesn’t nominate me

Randy

https://youtu.be/OKd1W1EdwlA

Ricky comes into the Diary Room after days of being on the fence about quitting. He asks to be removed.

Ricky

i think i’m done

Andrew

so I am home. Ricky quit for reasons I guess. Drew and I are trying to figure out what to really do? We like Karen and idk who she’d go with. Clash wants to work with drew and i. According to drew... Madison Bobby and nick are gonna be a thing which I hate bc all three of them are kinda hard to talk to and I can see them putting me up. He also said that sammy and Chelsea would be a thing tho but I like them so those are some potential prospects. I just have to hope that someone that likes me wins this hoh..

Nick

So day 1 in this game I was added to an alliance with Madison and Randy... and during the first hoh I shot randy through random.org and he found out! He took it as me trying to go against him when it was actually just a random.org. The alliance dies down and recently I find out that randy is still mad I ruined his shot at hoh so he made a whole new alliance the next day with like 6 people. Lucky for me I have good connections and someone leaked it to me so new I’m dead set that randy is either a shady bitch or he’s against me. And on a side note Clash and JG r in multiple alliances (or will be) and that is something I need to keep in mind.

Head of Household is over, and Liana wins by a landslide. As alliances shift, she nominates Adrian and Karen. Alliances start to crumble, while Madison and Randy jump from alliance to alliance. Sammy and JG feed into a lie that Randy told, and Andrew worries.

Bobby

Having Liana as HoH is something I’m not the most comfortable with but not scared. I’m hoping that I can skate by this week but after her picking me for dinner I know I’m on her radar, especially with me having the potential of having gotten a power

Madison

i reckon i might just touch the block this week and if by the grace of the BB gods i do, then let's go bitches because I came to compete and I came to win

Adrian

Liana winning an HOH where I had literally no time to participate in is a tricky situation. I have not spoken a word to her since the first few days... she was inactive. Now she went from the block to winning.... so I need to step up my social game because I'm really not wanting to be the 2nd evicted person. Not when I finally am getting my bearings with another BB game. So I'm ready to kiss ass and just start offering her some good deals.

I PRAY that this week will leave with me not touching the block at all. I know that I was one of the people to start the charge to evict Isaac, thus resulting in keeping Liana in the house- allowing her to be the HoH this week. If people aren't gonna tell her that Andrew was the vote to evict her... I will. I will do anything and everything in my power to make sure I am nomination free until the start of the jury. I will make good on that! Trust and believe!

Chelsea

Okay Queen Liana coming out of the dark to squash everyone in the scavenged hunt. She did THAT. Tbh Im happy for her.

Nick

I think liana will keep me safe but overall it’s a hard week to understand what’s going on because she hasn’t really said anything to me about who’s going up

Dan

I literally love Liana so this is perfect. I was busy this weekend but I also didn’t want to win this one tbh. It’s important for me this game to lay low and just keep chatting with people. I feel like I’m 10000000% safe this week so I’m just gonna keep skating by (:

Madison

I kinda wish I was nommed just because....I'm bored now

Andrew

I’m pretty sure I’ve had this exact exchange more than once on grindr

After Adrian wins the veto, Madison is nominated. While everyone is under the impression Karen is leaving, Andrew has other plans.

Dan

so I’m aligned closely with liana, which is really nice because I feel like we get along really well, but sis doesn’t listen??? Takes Bobby to dinner??? Goodbye. I don’t love that Madison is on the block bc Bobby is sitting right there and is by far a bigger threat than Madison. I just hope that Karen doesn’t pull out the stops and stay because I just don’t really want to play another game with her

so not too much has happened since the last eviction. I was added to an alliance called Trinity and we're not gonna talk about why it's called that ... It has myself, Nick, Drew, and Clash. So right now I'm pretty insulated the crazyness of Clash is the only thing of concern of to me and the true loyalty of Adrian//Randy.

Despite the Weiner Hard alliance wanting one of us to win HoH I didn't think it was best for my game so I actually had something in real life come up which could excuse me from the comp. Liana won which was ok for me because we had some really good conversations, I knew I'd be fine not sure about my allies. Seeing Adrian and Karen get nommed was a little bit of a shock ... So when veto came and I was drawn I knew had to fight for that to save Adrian... I flopped like a pancake but at least Adrian won and saved himself. Madison got renommed which was shitty but against Karen we should have the votes easily...

As the early game progresses I'm confident in my position in the game but I'm nervous about long term, I don't know who actually has my back and who doesn't , I'm very weary of some of my closest allies.

Andrew

I’m putting my cards out on the table as to why the Brick Wall (madison, nick, Bobby, JG, Dani) needs to take a hit to Dan bc literally there’s prob not any other groups combatting them rn but dan might just rat on me. But at this point, how much do I care? We presumably have me drew and clash and I’m tryna sway sammy and dan. And we’d need one more. And I think Liana would save Karen. Easy enough right?

(a short while and a line of coke later)

I just had to turn on crackheadrew but I think/hope we got myself, clash, drew, dan, Dani, Sammy, and possibly Chelsea to keep Karen? Unless everyone’s lying. Also Adrian is a skank ass clown and I find it funny how he got a rash from dog hair when I didn’t know that rats could be allergic to other animals? Jk he’s a cool guy but damn like be less transparent when you’re lyin to me sis. Now I just have to play up to him that we’re gonna vote out Madison and pin it on dan and drew. Do I tell them he said that? Idk. But either way, I hope all the work I just put into this shit pays off and we take down the bricks. Also Dani I think is not a part of that. My apologies Dani if that’s tru. It’s Madison nick bobby randy JG. Ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly.

Drew

the plan is to be just barely known enough to survive and then we'll reassess in like three rounds when i start wanting to win challenges

Madison

I'm done for, I should've told her I was pregnant

›› ✱ xavier serrano, cismale, he/him. you’ve met calvin marx, right? they’re around twenty-three and a twitch streamer. they’re all about thrift store clothing and the faint smell of cologne and cigarettes, hence why they’re known as the spitfire around town. everyone knows them to be pretty gregarious but i’ve heard they’re actually sort of volatile, too… don’t tell them i said that, okay?

...001. BRIEF HISTORY.

calvin grew up very underprivileged for the first 11 years of his life in brooklyn, ny.

these issues remained untreated, due to his mother putting it down to the ‘boys will be boys’ ideology, and concluding that calvin was just an energetic one at that.

calvin, his sister and mother were all moved to his home in cherrybrooks, which calvin struggled to adjust to, as he missed his friends back north.

now having access to as much money as he want led him down an early path into experimenting with drugs and alcohol, which soon became a bad habit.

although he wanted to drop out of school, his new step-father would not allow it, which became a large source of conflict for the family over the course of the next few years.

...002. PERSONALITY.

calvin is very much a boys boy, he genuinely abides by the bible of ‘ bros before hoes ‘ because he’s stupid.
