Day - 9 : Mahabharat

♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

Draupadi, a woman who lost her everything. Just because she got married in a family tied in a relationship of pure hatred and rivalry. A woman whose self respect was destroyed in a court filled with men who didn't utter a word for her defense. She was Yajnaseni, born from fire. But she burnt the most in the entire epic of Mahabharat.

(I really see Pooja's face when I imagine how Draupadi looked irl, so I had this urge to use her picture)

Yes, today is the Captain's birthday. He has finally grown a year older <3 (even if he didn't tell anyone his original and true age)

During the events of @revnah1406's Operation Kingslayer, the team decided to celebrate the Captain on his birthday by surprising him in his office. As the Captain could open the door, the crew wished him a very happy birthday but shut the door out of amusement 🤣

It's not that he doesn't like to celebrate birthdays, but he thought it would be a very normal day, since he thinks he only grew a year older and nothing more. And seeing the rest of the Kingslayers celebrating his birthday was an actual surprise to him. But guess what? He finally celebrates with them together! 🥹

Ahem.. he even got a secret letter from Kavya back from India, receiving a wish from her too *sniff*

So, wishing our Captain Arjun a very happy birthday with a prosperous future! 💝

So, I'm going to rant a bit about Krishna and Arjun now.

**Just a note: this is based on my personal interpretations of MB/SB/HV, none of which I have access to right now, so I might misremember some facts. Thank you!

So, in my understanding, Krishna and Arjun were both very lonely people. Both of them were stripped from their childhood homes and families, and forced to grow up amidst hostility and constant conflict, when they met after Draupadi's swayamvar, they instantly latch on to each other. I mean, yes, both Krishna and Arjun had brothers who went through the same kind of issues, but at some point, you encounter a boundary with your immediate family, such that you can't really tell them everything that you're feeling. A friend peering in from outside is a much 'safer' choice. I'd imagine it's roughly the same kind of thought process that makes people talk about their personal struggles anonymously on social media instead of with their families.

In this process, they both also become extremely possessive of each other. For Arjun, we see this when he sheds all his inhibitions at Kurukshetra not when he hears the Geeta, but rather when Krishna gets wounded the first time. That's when the Kaurava side finds out exactly how dangerous Arjuna can be. And that's when Krishna is barely scratched by an arrow, and thankfully we never find out what Arjun would have done if Krishna actually got hurt. Arjun was fighting only half-heartedly in the beginning, but once Krishna is targeted he becomes fiercer, now actually concentrating on the battle, and then finally when Krishna almost murders Bheeshma, that's when Arjun becomes fully activated, so to speak. Also, he would've totally murdered Shishupal during the rajasuya (to hell with the 100 offences), if not for Krishna stopping him...this is a rare kind of aggression for Arjun which he doesn't show even in the dice hall!

Krishna, on the other hand, shows his devotion in a slightly different way. So, for most of MB we see that he is partial to Arjuna, and he never really hides it. He gets Subhadra married to Arjuna, takes him on picnics on Kailash and shows him Vaikuntha just for fun. Moreover, he technically didn't need to participate in Kurukshetra. With Subhadra married to Arjun and Lakshamana married to Shamba, he could've easily cited an algebraic cancellation and got out of the whole mess like most of the other Yadavas. But he chooses to go to Matsya, and moreover offers to part himself from his beloved, personally trained army! I mean it was kind of genius to bait Duryodhan into thinking he won that bargain (if Shakuni mama was there, he would've definitely chosen Krishna, and immediately have him thrown in a dungeon and use him as a hostage to force the Pandavas into surrendering)!

Krishna is not just partial to Arjuna, but he is downright desperate to protect him from anything and everything. From personally waiting on Arjuna in Dwarka during happier times, to breaking every moral code he's ever stood for during the war, Krishna's love for Arjuna outshines every other horrible thing that happens. 

Krishna is quite open about his decision to get Arjuna out of the dharma-yudhha mess alive. In fact, he makes it clear to Draupadi herself that if it came down to choosing between Draupadi and Arjun, Krishna would choose Arjun always, without a second thought. We see this in action when he offers to have Draupadi marry Karna in exchange for his support to Pandavas, thereby averting the whole war. We see how Krishna doesn't care how many people he has to sacrifice (Abhimanyu, Ghatotkach, upa-Pandavas, his Narayani sena, Parikshit, and borderline forcing Shikhandi to detransition, although the source/validity of this I can't quite remember right now), how many times he has to endure the Vaishnavastra, how many times he has to make Yudhishthir lie, how many times he has to forget his vows, how many times he has to make literal celestial bodies bow to his will, all of it is taken in stride just so Arjun lives to see another sunrise. At one point, I do feel he stops caring about preserving Arjun's feelings through this (point: sacrificing his kids) and just making sure he's alive, no matter how broken or hopeless. It's almost as if Krishna's just on auto-pilot the whole time.

His whole life, Krishna asks Arjun for just one thing, which is to get the citizens of Dwarka out of the island/coastline alive before the tsunami hits. Even that, Arjuna is informed of only after Krishna is no longer on the earth. And Arjuna also is ironically one of the only people (except maybe Nand-Yashoda, Radha and gopas/gopis) to never ask Krishna for a favour! No matter how tough their life got, Arjun never asked Krishna for anything for himself. I can imagine how Krishna, the human god, would constantly be bombarded with prayers and requests literally wherever he went, so I can see why people like Arjuna would be somewhat of a relief. Even during Geeta, Arjun is like, "I can't do this!" and not "You can't make me do this!" And Krishna likewise is not like, "You have to do this!" He's just like, "You can do this, but only if you believe you can!" Krishna basically goes over all the pros and cons of the available choices but ultimately leaves the final decision to Arjun.

Ram and Yudhishthira

So, I have seen people keeping these two men on a same pedestal, which, IMO, is wrong. Rama is not an ordinary dude. He is a GOD. So, now, I am gonna compare and contrast these too.

People usually read the Uttar kand, and go like: nah, Ram was a git. But y'all know that the Uttar Kand is said to be a later addition? That out of the 1 lakh shlokas present in the original Ramayana, only 24,000 have survived time, and are present in today's version? No?

Yudhishthira, canonically, is not that good of a character. It is he who wants the incident of Bhima being poisoned kept secret. He bets his brothers and wife and loses them, not even preventing his wife's disrobing ONCE. Then, after Dhritarashtra returns everything, they go back, and when Duryodhana offers one more game of dice, he returns to play that as well.

He asks Bhima to not kill Jayadratha. During the incognito year, Kichaka drags and throws Draupadi in the courtroom, in front of the King and Yudhishthira, yet he doesn't even speak in her favor, and stops Bhima from doing so, though this can be let go, as it would have blown off their cover.

When Karna injures him on the 17th day, and Arjun goes to check on him, he asks whether Karna has been killed or not. When Arjun refuses, Yudhishthira flies in a rage, and yells many horribly things at him, including telling how he shouldn't have been born at all.

And then, when he finds that Karna is his brother, he goes off to mourn his death, suddenly developing a love for him, the same man who he wanted dead, who called his wife unchaste and pledged to kill his brother, the same man who was responsible for the deaths of two of his nephews.

And now, Rama. Rama is very different. He was an ideal king. He was beloved by all, from his family to the people, everyone loved him. Rama was a good son. He always obeyed his father, and followed his dharma.

Rama was not only a good scholar, he was also a good warrior. He fought most of his battles on his own, unlike....certain other kings. Rama loved and cherished his brothers a lot, as well as his family. Yes, he does send Lakshmana away at the end of the Uttar Kand, but that is because both of them knew what Lakshmana was doing was breaking the rule, hence he would have to leave.

There are multiple versions of the agnipariksha. Some versions say it was to get back the OG Sita, some say it was because Rama himself did not doubt his wife, but he asked for it so that others wouldn't doubt her as well.

Bala Kand mentions Luv-Kush, and them being with Sita in Valmiki's ashrama, though the reason of them being there is not at all mentioned. Some old versions of Ramayana also say that it was Sita herself who chose to leave, after hearing the rumors on her chastity, some say that Rama asked her to go.

My perception on these events is that unlike Krishna, who showed his divinity every other moment, Rama never did so. He himself did not know how divine he was, and worked hard like a human to achieve everything. As a human, he has to make mistakes as well, which he did.

There are ample examples of him loving Sita, like after her abduction, him starting a literal war for her, or after she goes into the earth, where an akashvani has to remind him that he is not human and shouldn't behave as such.

Moral of the story: It is my opinion that Rama is not the same as Yudhishthira was.

okay okay I have some more! 🍿

🚫 one thing you don't like about your favorite character in-universe (don't hold back!)

🫗 which minor characters should've had more screen-time + why? (what would this have added to the plot?)

I will say that I never dislike Lestat for being a "bad person"; he is a bad person. He's doomed to be. That's the thing about being a vampire; that's part of the premise I accept and part of his character I find interesting. There are other characters I love I'd change more but Lestat really works I think. however the fact that he listens to a little kid vampire in a fedora i just can't abide

or that he allows himself to be called Beloved Boss many, many times in blood canticle. nooooo.

oh wait no. it's that "Troop of Beloveds" line in Blackwood Farm that someone pointed out reads exactly like a trump tweet. it does and it drives me insane. i know this sounds like a small thing but i think about it all the time and it genuinely produces swiss cheese holes in my brain. there are days i've thought about it out of the blue and it just troubles me in some deep spiritual way

+

I did give an earlier Raymond answer which is a super minor character. But! For slightly more major one, I'd actually have loved Antoine to get more attention, although that's a pretty common view I think? He's someone who is not really part of the bigshot crew but is still pretty closely tied to Lestat and to Louis, and who knew of Claudia. I'd also have REALLY liked more interactions between Flavius and Pandora set in the PL era. I think this would have been better for getting Pandora's POV than focusing on Arjun.

Idk what Régine is doing but Joan is about to die and I can't blame her lmao

Lance: *does something good that will have positive consequences on some people*

The Clave: yeah but what about us?? He is making us look bad because he's a monster 😤

Idk I'm kinda obsessed with Anjali and Cami's relationship. I NEED MORE!! More about Cami feeling the pressure of being not only a Lightwood-Bane, but Anjali's daughter, about Anjali being scared of being a bad mother, about how different it is for Rafael and Cami, and Anjali and Arjun. I'm living for that😍

The navy blue hardcover was almost the same shade as Uncle Max’s skin. That man really took loving Max to a whole other level in every universe OMFG

I support Malik's rights. I genuinely don't believe he can do wrongs 😌

I love Magnus so much I constantly forget not every warlock is like him, and some warlock do marry quite frequently... Huh

I know that man in the painting is important, I demand answers😭

Lance leaned forward and kissed her. Arthur screamed into his hands quietly and kicked at his feet. You and I both, Arthur😍😍

CAMI AND HARRY CAMI AND HARRY CAMI AND HARRY CAMI AND HARRY CAMI AND HARRY CAMI AND HARRY CAMI AND-

“That you’re the only person I’ll ever trust,” Lance said. “That you’re the only person who’ll ever truly love me.” OKAY THIS IS GETTING CRUEL NOW, DANI. IT'S NOT LOVELY AND FUNNY ANYMORE 😭😭😭

Régine is just being French. We love to see it. We'll see more of her in the second half of the story and I am exciteeeee.

We'll definitely get more of Anjali and Cami and also Cami and Arjun later on in the story :)

LANCE AND ARTHUR ANGST MY BELOVED.

Why ??

Ch - 2 Have Faith

Amidst the regal splendour of Indraprastha, the grandeur of the palace belied the turmoil within. In the hushed ambiance of the courtroom, where the weight of fate seemed to hang heavy in the air, the Pandavas - Yudhishthir, Bheem, Arjun, Nakul, and Sahadev - gathered with Krishna. Their faces bore the marks of trials endured and sacrifices made amidst the shadows of uncertainty....

Yudhishthir, the epitome of virtue and righteousness, spoke with a voice tempered by the weight of leadership, "O Madhusudan, we have followed the path of Dharma to the best of our abilities, yet we have lost. Have we not been faithful to our duty as warriors and princes?"

Krishna sought out his beloved elder cousin, Yudhishthir. He approached with a gentle smile, yet his eyes held a depth of understanding for the pain that weighed heavy upon Yudhishthir's heart. "Bade Bhaiya," Krishna's voice carried a soothing reassurance, "I see the burden that weighs upon you. But know this, it is not your fault."

Yudhishthir's gaze met Krishna's, a mixture of anguish and resignation clouding his usually serene countenance. "How can I not blame myself? It was my decision and foolishness that led us to this path of exile, of suffering."

With a reassuring hand on Yudhishthir's shoulder, Krishna spoke with conviction, "Fate is a masterful player, weaving its intricate designs upon the tapestry of our lives." Eventually, Arjun, the valiant warrior whose bow knew no equal, interjected with a sense of urgency, "But, Madhav, the flames of injustice threaten to consume us whole. How are we to navigate the treacherous waters of fate when the currents pull us in every direction? And Why does fate constantly conspire against us?"

Krishna met Arjun's gaze with a steady, reassuring smile. "O Parth, indeed this is a grave incident that has cast its shadow upon all of us," he acknowledged, his tone soft yet resolute. "But remember, fortune favours the brave. You, dear brother, are destined for greatness, and no adversity can dim the light that burns within you."

"And Bade Bhaiya," Krishna addressing Yudhishthir, "You are not the architect of this tragedy, but merely a player bound by its rules. The game of dice was but a pawn in the hands of destiny, and you, its unwitting participant." Yudhishthir's eyes, heavy with the weight of guilt, sought solace in Krishna's words.

Meanwhile Bheem, in his towering frame pulsating with barely contained rage, stepped forward, his voice a thunderous roar that reverberated through the chamber. "Krishna," he declared, his eyes blazing with an intensity born of righteous fury, "I have sworn by my very being that I will break Duryodhan's thigh, crush all the Kauravas who dared to defile our honour, and tear apart Dushasan's chest, the hands that dared to lay upon Panchali in such indignity."

Krishna, ever calm amidst the storm, approached Bheem with a gentle yet firm hand upon his shoulder. "Majle Bhaiya, I understand the fire that burns within you," he spoke, his voice a soothing balm to the warrior's tumultuous soul. "But remember, vengeance alone cannot right the wrongs that have been done. It is through the strength of our unity and the righteousness of our cause that true justice shall be served."

Bheem's gaze softened. His eyes flickered with a mixture of doubt and determination as he absorbed Krishna's words, "But how, Krishna? How can we be certain of success when the path ahead seems shrouded in darkness? How can we hope to succeed against such formidable foes, whose malice knows no bounds?", he questioned, his voice betraying a hint of apprehension.

"Faith, Majle Bhaiya, Faith," Krishna replied, "Faith in oneself, faith in each other, and faith in the righteousness of our cause. Though the journey ahead may be difficult, it is the steadfastness of our resolve that shall guide us through the darkest of nights."

Nakul and Sahadev, the twin brothers known for their wisdom and humility, approached their elder siblings having a quiet resolve in their demeanor.

Nakul approached Yudhishthir with a respectful bow, his voice resonating with conviction. "Bade Bhaiya," he began, "in these trying times, let us lean not only on our own strength but also on the wisdom of our beloved Krishna Bhaiya. Like the steady oak that shelters its branches, his guidance shall provide us with the stability we need to weather this storm together."

Yudhishthir, touched by Nakul's words, placed a hand on his younger brother's shoulder, a silent gesture of gratitude and solidarity. "Nakul, my dear brother," he replied, his voice soft yet resolute, "I trust in Vaasudev and your faith in his wisdom gives me strength."

Sahadev stood before Bheem and Arjun, his expression serene yet infused with a deep sense of kinship. "Majle Bhaiya, Chote Bhaiya, let us not forget the bond that unites us. Just as Nakul said, in Krishna Bhaiya, we find not only a divine guide but also a cherished brother whose presence fills us with hope and courage."

Bheem, moved by Sahadev's words, enveloped his younger brother in a fierce embrace. "Sahadev," he spoke, his voice gruff yet filled with emotion, "your words remind me of the strength we draw from each other as brothers. Now, I am sure, with our Krishna's guidance and our unity, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

Arjun, the embodiment of valour and loyalty, "Indeed," he agreed, his voice resonating with conviction, "let us trust in Keshav's wisdom and in the bond that binds us as brothers. With our faith as our shield and our unity as our strength, we shall prevail against whatever challenges fate may throw our way."

Krishna's smile, a beacon of reassurance amidst the darkness, illuminated the chamber with its radiant warmth. "My dear brothers, do not underestimate the power of Dharma and the will of those who fight for Truth," he replied, his voice infused with unwavering confidence. "The path ahead may be fraught with peril, yet it is the strength of our convictions and the purity of our hearts that shall guide us to Victory."

Yato Dharma Tato Jaya

And so, amidst the echoes of their shared resolve, the Pandava brothers song with Krishna reaffirmed their familial bond, ready to face the trials ahead with unwavering resolve, trust in the divine, and the strength of their brotherhood.

Just as Pandavas and Krishna were having conversation, Subhadra, Krishna's beloved younger sister, approached with a mixture of reverence and apprehension. Her graceful form moved with a quiet resolve as she made her way through the sea of courtiers, her eyes fixed upon the figure of her elder brother, Krishna, who stood at the center of the room, a pillar of strength amidst the storm.

With a gentle rustle of silken fabric, Subhadra knelt before Krishna, her head bowed in a gesture of humility and respect. Krishna enveloped his younger sister in a warm embrace, a silent reassurance of his love and protection. "Are u alright my Bhadre," he asked softly, his voice a soothing melody amidst the tumultuous echoes of the courtroom. "I am fine Bhaiya but not okay", she answered by faintly smiling. "Fear not, I am here. Everything will be alright."

Subhadra, her heart eased by Krishna's comforting embrace, nodded gratefully, a silent acknowledgment of her trust in her elder brother's wisdom and guidance.

Just then, amidst the gathering, Balram, Krishna's elder brother, made his way to Indraprastha, his presence commanding respect and authority. Everyone especially Krishna was happy to see his brother there. "Dau, how are you here ?" Balram smiled and said, "Do you think I would let you come here alone ?? You would surely need some assistance." Krishna laughed and hugged his brother. Subhadra, Arjun, Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev knelt before Balram who in turn blessed them. Then, Yudhishthir shared a brotherly embrace with Balram.

After such heartwhelming moments, with a solemn nod to Yudhishthir, Balram spoke in a voice that brooked no argument, "It is time. We must take Subhadra, Abhimanyu, and the young Uppandavas with us to Dwarka. It is for their safety that they should come with us."

Understanding the urgency of the situation, Yudhishthir nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Dau," Krishna replied, his tone carrying a sense of purpose, "let us gather them and depart from this place."

As they made preparations to depart from Indraprastha, Krishna's keen eyes scanned the assembled group, his gaze searching for a familiar figure amidst the bustling activity. His brow furrowed in concern as he realized that Draupadi, his Sakhi and the steadfast matriarch of the Pandava household, was nowhere to be seen among the gathered throng.

Turning to Yudhishthir, Krishna spoke, his voice tinged with apprehension. "Bade Bhaiya," he began, his words carrying the weight of unspoken worry, "Where is my Sakhi? It is unlike her to be absent during such an important moment."

There was a sense of unease settling in his heart for Krishna knew why she was not present there with everyone.

Where is My Krishnaa ?

I just love the Bond between the Pandavas and Krishna. Next Chapter is Very Beautiful 😍❤️

Stay Tuned 😁

What do you think about yudhishthir?, And the rest of the pandavas

Yudhishthir is actually my second favorite after Arjun. I know everyone hates him, but imagine being him. It must have been so suffocating seeing your beloveds suffer just because everyone expects you to be the dharmraj and serve justice.

Bheem is actually my least favorite Pandav. He's good and nice. The only time I adored him is when he took revenge from Dushashan for Draupadi.

Arjun is mah boi. I absolutely love him.

Nakul and Sahdev are on the same level. I absolutely adore my babies. And I absolutely love their twin dynamic.

(Extra)

Karn, he's on the same rank as Arjun. My KaJu bois are pure gold.

Neelima my beautiful beloved. I had so much fun with this generation. Playing with Nel and Kale and their children has taken up so much time. I started playing this generation in Feb 2022. It's currently April for me as I finish this gen, but for you this will come out in July. I loved the challenge of double twins. Cos why would only one set of twins be enough?! and almost having 5 toddlers at once? oh yeah i absolutely loved that panic. With the End of this generation we say goodbye to the Suryavanshi Bheeda household. But don't fear! We'll be seeing all the extended family from time to time! Keeping up with the aging of Juliette, Melanie, Arjun, Lakshmi, Mahesh, Rahul and Padma. Plus we still have a wedding or two to do ;)

I wanted to drop by some old Arjun sketches I did a long time ago! Also, I had the honor to post a KavyaArjun drawing I did on Aggie.io with my beloved mutuals as well, because I missed them so much, aaaa (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠)

I hope you like it! <3

-My Brother-

So i’ve decided to be malicious and twist things to be more... Terrif ying ic Because this is fun and a great way to polish my skills, I’ll continue with these little terror tales! (If you’re uncomfortable with this, please tell me. I would rather everyone have fun than be upset @hogwarts9

Aishwarya stood at a crossroads of the maze, softly shifting her foot to quietly sense the vibrations of the earth. Though a lost art, the practices of the Gurus had not been lost through her. The senses extended, painting the halls in muted colors as the vibrations of the earth colored the halls before her. Though her tremor sense was limited, it had more than once helped her avoid a dead end.  The path forward seemed to be the best choice, so she once more pressed forward. Her gait strode gracefully through the halls, her footfalls light as petals while her movements were akin to a dancer. It hadn’t been for some time that she’d gone on an excursion such as this, using her abilities to their fullest. It was liberating, like dancing beneath the trees during the night time rains.  Her pace stopped, however, when she felt a presence nearby. To say presence was an understatement, as it had felt like her own brother. He, and another individual, seemed to be talking together not far from where she was. with the visual enchantments of the torch, she’d seen that it hadn’t turned red. Yet all she could tell was that something was lying to her.  She tried to stealthily go forward when the figure of her brother pulled out a wand, and pointed it towards the other individual. The two had a stand off, and Aishwarya knew that she had to stop her brother from making a costly mistake. He could get expelled for doing something like this! She couldn’t-  Just as she turned the corner, she’d heard a spell that had sent chills down her spine.  “Avada Kedavra!”  Aishwarya, through both sight and sense, felt her brother kill.  “Sister! I... I did it! Now you don’t have to worry about the boggarts, sister!” He said, completely overjoyed.  Aishwarya, however, could only stand there, horrified by what she’d just witnessed. Even now, she’d know there was a boggart, but she couldn’t tell which was which.  Had the boggart been the other student, one she could not recognize, or was it wearing the mask of her beloved sibling.  “Sister? Why aren’t you-” Before Arjun could finish, he gasped and coughed blood as a hand protruded from his sternum. He stared down at it with terror before looking to Aishwarya, who had screamed in terror at the sight.  No, this couldn’t be real. It had to be a boggart! They couldn’t, they wouldn’t-

But then the words rang in her mind, the warning from professor Dumbledore.  These challenges could kill and would if the participants weren’t strong enough. Aishwarya screamed, for her brother, in rage, in pain, before slamming a foot into the ground and sending the walls slamming into the other figure, crushing him into nothing.  Aishwarya grieved for her brother, holding his body as she wept. It had been half an hour before she’d return to her hunt, barely registering the pressence of other nearby competitors. It wasn’t until she’d come back and had her blindfold removed that she’d seen her brother Arjun safe and unharmed. He smiled, cheering for her and barely got in a word before his sister slammed into him, tears of joy rolling down her cheeks as she hugged him. He was safe, and that horrible maze hadn’t taken him from her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “I must say, that was a rather convincing display ‘Arjun’. I dare to even call it a masterpiece of flavor.”  The boggart Arjun simply turned to his comrade and grinned. “Not like you, Umbra. This plan wouldn’t have worked so well if you hadn’t sensed her magic.” The two boggarts chuckled together, gorging themselves on the overwhelming fear that had been produced.  “If such displays grant such fine meals, perhaps our continued work may not be out of the question, eh oh brother mine?”  Umbra simply smiled, and stared at the next of the competitors. “Oh, I indeed think we shall.”

Yay, thanks for playing!

12. Are there any LIs whose route you tried but gave up on? 13. Are there any LIs whose route you haven’t tried but want to? 14. What was your first route like in season 2? ie. Were you loyal or did you get around?

Thank YOU for creating this. I'm having a ball answering and reading these.

12. Are there any LIs whose route you tried but gave up on?

I gave up on Marisol's route a few times. There are some really nice moments in it, but she doesn't really do it for me, so I always lose interest. I mean, Lucas, Bobby, Arjun, and Gary are RIGHT THERE.

13. Are there any LIs whose route you haven’t tried but want to?

Answered here, but I am also intrigued by a Tom route. I was not into him right off the bat but there is something endearing about him and makes me want to make him happy.

14. What was your first route like in season 2? ie. Were you loyal or did you get around?

This is a tough one because I played up to the Stick or Switch episode with Lucas. I had started off with Rocco, but quickly lost interest in him and fell hard for Lucas. I was utterly devastated when he showed up with Blake and there wasn't another episode available. I didn't even realize until that point that the whole season wasn't released at once. So I made a twitter account so I could talk to people about LITG, and saw how obsessed everyone was with Bobby. Up to that point, I thought Bobby was kind of an annoying cornball, but I was like, let me see what all the fuss is about, and I lost my whole head for him. Ultimately, I ended up having 4 different accounts with 4 different routes (Embarrassing, I know). Lucas, Bobby, Ibrahim, and Elijah/Noah. Bobby was the king of my heart and always the first one I would play, but I actually think Lucas is the better route.

Oh and I was loyal to all of them because I get severe anxiety cheating on my beloved pixels. Even the Noah route was abandoned when it made me feel too icky and I stuck with Elijah.
