How to Survive a Factory Tour - Chapter 5

A Sanders Sides / Charlie and the Chocolate Factory FanFiction

----------

I am so fucking exhausted. And hungry. Well, I always am, but recently I’ve been more so than usual.

For the past few days, a lot of my co-workers have been off for Christmas. This meant little old me had to pick up god knows how many extra shifts. For the past few days, I’ve had to skip out on proper meals, only having a quick snack when I got home.

And, no, by snack, I do not mean the Wonka bar. Still haven’t eaten it. No one has.

Two days after Roman Prince won a ticket, I expect Remy to say the fourth ticket’s been won. You know, since there’s been a pattern of them being found every two days. However, when Remy comes in, he simply orders his drink, chats a bit and leaves. It’s honestly surprising, especially with the tour being in five days.

Anyway, I continue working for the next few hours, praying the tips at the end will be worth it. Then, finally, my manager comes out and dismisses me, but not before dividing my share of the money in the tip jar. I hang up my apron, pull on my hoodie and leave the shop.

If there’s one good thing about being poor in Florida, it’s that you never have to worry about freezing. With winters of 75°F, it doesn’t matter that my thin, patched-up hoodie is the warmest thing I own.

It doesn’t mean the walk home is perfect, however. My stomach’s being as loud as an earthquake. Shut up, will you. Just wait until Mom comes home and hopefully she brings some dinner.

I soon arrive at our little shack, gently opening the front door and stepping inside. “Thomas, I’m home!”

I pause, waiting for my brother to reply. There’s no response. “Thomas? Hello?” Nothing. “Thomathy? Thomas the dank engine?”

Still nothing. I feel my heart rate picking up. Oh god, what if part of the ceiling collapsed on him... o-or the lack of food in the house caught up on him and he starved...

All the worst possibilities come to mind. Thomas is supposed to be here, he always is when I come home. Something’s wrong, he’s hurt, I just know it. I can’t breathe. Everything’s going blurry. My heart’s thudding too hard.

Suddenly, everything’s black.

...

”Virgil! Virgil, wake up!”

I come back to my senses to find myself led on our lumpy couch, and someone leaning over me.

”Th-Thomas...? You’re okay?”

”Virge! Thank god you’re awake! I was so worried... What happened?”

I sit up, Thomas helping me adjust. “I... You weren’t home. I got scared something had happened, and...”

”Panic attack, huh?” Thomas asks. I nod. “I’m really sorry, Virge, I should’ve left a note so you knew I was heading out...”

It was only then I notice a shopping bag at Thomas’ feet. “What’s that?”

Thomas takes a deep breath. “I have a confession. While I have put most of the money you earned for me towards college, I’ve also been saving up for something else.” He reaches down into the bag and pulls out...

”A video camera? What do you need a camera for?”

”I felt bad that you and Mom were doing so much for me but I wasn’t doing anything in return. I’ve wanted to get a job for a while, but I didn’t know how to get one that fit around my school schedule. I decided I needed to do something where I can organise my own hours and I didn’t need to get a whole lot, so I figured maybe...I could do YouTube. I’ve got the camera, and Remy said I could record at his and edit and upload on his computer. Hopefully, I’ll get enough viewers to monetize and get some money to help us, all the while making fun content.”

”Thomas... that is fucking brilliant.”

Thomas smiles. “Thanks. But none of that matters right now. You literally just passed out, you need to get your strength back.” He gets up and leaves the room, heading to the kitchen. A few moments later, he comes back and pushes something into my hand. “Eat.”

I look down at the bar. “I... I can’t.”

”Why not?”

”The money was meant to be for you...”

Thomas rolls his eyes. “It’s okay! It was only a dollar or so for this. You deserve a reward for everything you’ve done for me. Now, open it and eat.”

I sigh, knowing Thomas won’t give in. He can be really stubborn if he needs to be. I start peeling back the wrapper.

HO. LY. SHIT.

GOLD. FUCKING GOLD.

Thomas and I both stare at the ticket. He breaks the silence.

”This is gonna make a great first video.”

I pause before holding it out to him. “You have it.”

”What?! No way in hell! You won it and bought it with your own money. And as I said, you deserve a reward.” Thomas pushes the ticket back into my hands. “Virgil, you’re going to Willy Wonka’s factory.”

”FOURTH TICKET!”

I practically slide into the room upon hearing Emile’s yell. I plop next to him on the sofa and watch the TV screen.

There are three guys there, and I can’t tell which the winner is. One is wearing sunglasses, a white t-shirt, a black jacket, black jeans, and has an arm around the shoulders of the person in the middle.

The one in the middle has brown hair, and is wearing a purple shirt, ripped black skinny jeans and a patched black and purple hoodie. He looks pretty uncomfortable at all the attention.

The third looks identical to the second. He looks more comfortable on camera than who I presume is his twin brother. He was wearing a grey shirt, an old brown jacket, and jeans.

As I watch, they’re revealed to be called Remy Sleep, and Virgil and Thomas Sanders. Virgil’s the one who won the ticket. He seems so shy! Well, I’ll make sure to make him feel welcome during the tour.

Speaking of the tour, Virgil lives in Florida, and in the same town as the Wonka factory! That’s awesome! He’s sooooo lucky. Imagine being able to buy Wonka bars nice and fresh. I bet they’d be even more delicious then.

Oh boy, four out of five tickets have already been won with five days to go! I can’t wait to find out who wins the last one!

It seems my predictions have been proven right yet again. The next ticket was found in Florida. Just the one in Australia left now.

There’s not much else to say about the ticket being won, really. Nothing worth saying. Robert still blames me, so some things never change.

Joan and Talyn have been trying to find a way to hide a camera on my person so they can see the factory for themselves. It’s rather funny to hear their extravagant ideas, though I doubt I’ll try any. They’ll have to settle with my explanation.

They’re going to be coming with me to Florida, though. Of course my family aren’t, but Joan and Talyn didn’t want me to be alone, so got tickets for the flight too.

I totally didn’t beg them to come because I have a fear of flying...

Okay, I watch Air Crash Investigation too much. It’s educational and very intriguing, if slightly anxiety inducing.

But the point is, they’re coming with me. We’re arriving the day before the tour and leaving the day after. Joan and Talyn are going to be heading up to Orlando the day of the tour to go to Universal Studios. They’re going to meet up with me once the tour’s over. Everything’s arranged, and I’ve even written up schedules for us all so no one will be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Some may call it excessive, I call it efficient.

But I digress. The point is I’m fully ready and prepared...

To wipe this in my brother’s face.

Oh, how perfect! An emo nightmare just won the final ticket and is coming with us on the tour! How wonderful!

That was sarcasm, in case you couldn’t tell.

Call me quick to judge, but I’m not too fond of those edgy, melodramatic, dark emo types. They just seem to always bring down the mood. I’d rather my time at the greatest factory in the entire world didn’t be ruined by some moody, angsty, and by the looks of it, very socially awkward guy.

But I guess it’s too late now. He’s got a ticket, he’s going. Fun.

However, lets brush that aside for now. There’s more interesting stuff than ‘Virgil’ or whatever his name was winning a ticket.

The day after I’d won my ticket, my dads were out so I hosted a party at my place to celebrate my victory. It was great. We played spin the bottle and I got to kiss none other than school heartthrob Nate Christopher. It was probably one of the greatest moments of my life. Valerie even took a picture and sent it to me so I could “treasure the moment I could pretend Nate was gay and into me”.

Why are all the best guys straight? Let’s hope I’ll find the one in Florida and he’ll actually be gay, or bi, or pan, or just likes dudes in general.

Anyway, in the middle of the party, I got a call from Pa. He said he and dad had arranged, not just flights and hotels, but a two-week holiday in America. First, a week and two days in Florida, two days in the town with the factory, then the morning after the tour we’ll drive up to Orlando to go to Disney World. Then, we’ll fly up to New York, which is where we’ll spend the rest pf the two weeks, because Dad managed to get us all tickets to see Be More Chill on Broadway! I’m so excited, it’s going to be the best two weeks of my life.

August 16, 2021

I’m writing today just to write. I feel like today is kinda like a dream? Nothing feels real today but right when I was conscious of the fact that the world seemed fake I ended up slamming my thumb on my right hand on a car door and I felt like I woke up lol. Going to school again is heavily on my mind again and I’m really scared but so excited! I can’t wait to get back into a stable routine but I’m kinda nervous about it cause I’ve been doing my own thing for some time now and while it’s been feeling chaotic it started to turn into my own routine. I’m excited about making new friends while at school and hopefully a life long friend! But I’m also nervous I might end up closing myself off when I’m at school and not making any friends. I’m scared I’ll get distracted again and will want to drop out like last time and I’m scared I’m not going to be smart enough to continue on with schooling. I want this so bad but my mind keeps drifting into other things. I talked to my therapist and she did suggest going through another hospital thing to talk about meds again. I was diagnoses with ADHD from a young age and it’s upheld to now still lol. I can’t stay focused on anything and even typing this and everything else I’ve written here has taken me a long time cause I keep getting distracted. As I am typing this now I am listening to music in the background and I’m at work with people who kinda hate my taste in music but that’s understandable since lots of people think it’s annoying or gross sounding. I’m still excited for school but I’m worried about it too. I’m also doing all online except for one class on Saturday cause I still need to work a full time job but I want to be a full time student cause that’s always been my plan. It’s going to be really hard trying to manage my time since I’ve never had to do it and I still don’t do it so it’s gonna be like learning something new again. I really don’t want to fuck this up like I fuck everything else up. I am known for making messes, making things bigger than they really are and so on and so forth. I also really wanted to take more in person classes but the school is in hartford and that's a semi long drive and I wouldn’t be the one driving since I don’t have my license just yet. I am going to see if I can switch at least one of my online classes to an in person class but on the same day as my Saturday class cause doing all online is going to be really hard with staying focused, the migraines and it’ll help me get out of the house and hopefully give Edgar the space he’s been asking for. That way it can solve more than one problem. I’m hoping I can get my license before the start of the labs for schooling cause I don’t want to ask Edgar to take me to hartford and then to a second location to practice the things im learning and have his car smell of death, literally. My dad fixed up his truck so it’s basically brand new for me but he doesn’t wanna give it to me until I get my license so he knows I won’t wreck it cause I do admit I am a very shitty driver lol Edgar was supposed to be teaching me but I don’t think that’s gonna happen any time soon cause whenever him or I remember that’s something we were supposed to do we either forget again or have something more important to do in the meantime. I’ve also been wanting to move out with him in our own little home and start our own lives together. Sometimes I feel like he’s still holding on to his family cause he’s scared I’m going to pack all of my things and just leave without a word of warning, which I wouldn’t do but I have imagined myself just packing a bag and leave for a week to just isolate from not just him but everyone. I don’t like living with his family cause I get overwhelmed quickly and instead of having the comfort of knowing I can just leave and hide I have to force myself to talk with his family cause if I don’t I’ll be considered rude and they won’t like me. His family is also of Latin decent and It was confirmed that they wouldn’t understand mental illness or just plain fears, same as my parents. His mom is pretty against medicine but she does make good points and the fact that I almost died of liver failure due to a cocktail of medicine doesn’t help with that and I do appreciate her mentioning different methods of trying to relive inner pains or harsh self thinking but sometimes I just wanna be left alone. His sister seems to not like me at all. I tried my best to try and talk to her but I feel like I didn’t say the things I wanted to. I take into account everything she.says cause I want to make sure I'm not making anyone unhappy but it feels like no matter what I do she constantly has a glare towards me. It could all just be in my head cause I’ve had that happen to me before but it was just all in my head. His dad is kinda like my uncle and my mom mixed into one person; Loud personality and voice, always thinks they're right even when proven wrong, doesn’t apologize, quick to assumptions, and forces conversations. I feel a lot more comfortable near his dad but not talking with him. He reminds me too much of my mom and it scares me cause I left to get away from my mom. But something that bothers me now that I think about it, Edgar doesn’t like my mom cause she reminds him of his dad but gets upset with being around my mom and doesn't want to spend any time in my parents home because of my mom but I live with his mom and dad and sister but when I ask him to try and get along he gets mad at me. When we all went to MA together and my mom kept trying to talk to him he got mad and said he didn’t like that but when his dad kept trying to talk to me and I was visibly upset and uncomfortable he got upset with me? I didn’t get mad at him with him not liking my mom and I told him that I was sorry but I can’t control a grown women and that If I could do something I would have but unfortunately that’s not an option. I feel kinda hurt that I live with his family but he can’t make the sacrifice of just spending a weekend with mine? I moved an hour away from my home to live with him, I took medicine to up my libido for him, I live with his family because he needed to go to therapy and was worried about bills and missing work. I feel like I do a lot for him but he can’t meet me half way. I feel like no matter what I do it doesn’t matter to him and all I get is hugs and kisses. I want to move out to be more independent, be able to use the bathroom without feeling guilty of making too much nose, I want to be able to buy my own groceries and make my own food without being scared of someone coming downstairs and staring at me while I cook, I want to have full range of the whole house but I am just too nervous living with his parents to do that. I don’t like feeling like a burden to his family cause now they have to deal with a girl they barely know and probably don’t like having in their home. I want to be able to walk around in my underwear without having to fear that someone will see and get offended. I hate pants with a burning passion but it feels like my needs and wants aren’t as important. I want to be able to feel free to do the things I like to feel comfortable. I feel like I sacrificed a lot to make sure Edgar has been happy and like I’ve given up everything for him but he can’t even sit down with me and talk about moving out. Just bringing up the topic and my reasonings makes him stay quiet and glare at me. I just want to talk to him about it and I can’t even have that. I feel like he wants to stay there and not leave ever but I need to leave eventually for the sake of my mental health and for his family too. I don’t want them to keep taking care of me. I even thought of getting a place for just me and whenever he’s ready to he can come and we can put him on the lease too but he didn’t like that. Ive gotten to the point where I have an application and it’s filled out and I’m just holding onto it. I want to submit it and see if I can get it myself and leave on my own but still be with him. I love him and I love being with him but the patterns are starting to be more prominent and more noticeable. If I call him out on something, I say something he doesn’t like, I mention a change he doesn’t like or want to happen, I suggest something to make both of us happy, he will shut down and glare at me and not talk to me. He basically gives me the silent treatment until I break down and apologize for upsetting him and even then I have to deal with him getting pouty and try to avoid upsetting him further. I think I might just submit my application and say Fuck it. If I don’t get accepted then so be it but if I do then I’m calling my dad and I’m moving in. If he gets mad at me and wants to leave me then that’s on him cause I’m doing this for my health and hopefully a brighter future for him and me. If he decides to support me then I know everything will work out in the end. Oof I just made that decision just now and I’m gonna go through with it. Wish me luck!

The Devils first Sin

more stuff pertaining to @shinyzango‘s 2D Bendy AU after seein some more lovely artwork about consequences to fun powers :V might be a two parter~

and shush i know the titles sounds dubious, im gonna keep the devil pun thing up until it kills me.

After figuring out that his new little ability gave him a lot more chances to help Henry past being a guide on paper, Bendy seemed excited to see what lay in wait in the studio halls for them both. Henry however had some reserves...He still had no idea..how his excited friend’s powers worked..or how he even was alive to begin with. Several theories ran through his mind, bouncing off one another..Black magic seemed to be more favorable..Joey was always a showy sort of person who’d do anything to get what he wanted..But black magic seemed a bit too far even for him..at least that’s what he kept telling himself anyways.

Wandering onwards, Henry idly chatted with Bendy about old times..old cartoons and safer times in the studio. Bendy seemed more than happy to listen to Henry quietly ramble on about his old days as a animator, Henry not minding the trip down memory lane in favor of wondering what the road ahead may hide..

“ So that was how the studios got started..Joey was one heck of a negotiator, which probably got us such a good start..Compared to our first studio this place is the ritz..Heh..well without the random rogue ink creatures anyways.”

“WOW~! I never knew how it all started..It sounded like a bunch of fun Henry really..and without you guys going through all that..I wouldn’t ever be here talking with you and going on this adventure!”

Henry couldn’t help but let out a laugh...yeah this was a adventure alright..Getting trapped in his old studio and chased by sentient ink stains all night..with only a small doodle to keep him company and out of the fire..Honestly he was starting to really care for the goofy little devil, currently sitting on the papers single line staring up at him like some star struck child..Well he couldn’t blame him, it’s not every day you hear how your own existence sort of got started..

And hopefully said adventure would have a happy ending for the both of them..He had already had a few close calls but, at least with Bendy now being able to lend a hand things seemed a bit more brighter. He’d have to figure out a way to possibly bring the little Devil with him..no sense in just leaving him here when all was said and done, that was too cruel of a thought to even consider..Bendy was if not the only person here so far that hadn’t tried to take a chunk out of him, he owed the little ink spot twice already.

“ Yeah... it’s been quite the adventure huh? Glad I got you to back me up at least and help keep me from looking like some giant walking ink stain.”

“Hey! Being a big ink stain isn’t that bad, I think I do a good job of it Henry..Hehehehh~ And don’t worry yourself so much, long as you got me I’ll protect ya from all the spooks big guy!”

Henry watched as the little Devil got up to strike a heroic pose as he spoke..well he was right on some parts..When he wanted to, Bendy could be quite the big ink stain...thankfully a friendly ink stain. He didn’t like having to put the little guy through such a strange process..But Bendy seemed more than capable of handling the load...right?

The duo continued to chat away as Henry picked his way through the dark halls, side stepping the occasional ink puddle and broken floor board with ease. It almost felt like things would improve from here actually, Henry thought right as there came a creaking noise above him..Stopping and eyeing the ceiling warily he noticed several things..There were alot more drips than usual..and the ceiling was taking on a rather..bulging look.

Not bothering to explain he tried to get out of dodge and fast, unfortunately the studio as big as it had become, was about as structurally sound as a house made of cardboard and glue. The low groaning picked back up again, echoing down the hall seconds before a massive fissure gave way, unleashing a massive torrent of ink and lord knows what else to flood eagerly into the floor below and sweep away anything caught in it’s path..namely Henry. Said animator was only a few steps away, trying to find some high ground or a unlocked door..only finding nothing. Seconds before the waves would overtake him he presses the doodle to his chest and prayed he wasn’t about to die by drowning in ink of all things.

“Hang on Bendy I think we’re in for some rough going.”

“Be careful Henry!”

He let out a pained grunt as the first wave slapped into him, curling around and sweeping his footing out from under him. As he was swept away he was dimly aware of other things lurking in the surf with him, brushes of hands against legs and arms told him that he’d have problems soon if he didn’t get to some dry ground, or find another damned pump. Fighting to get back to the surface he managed to get a idea of how bad the situation was..Thankfully the ink had slowed it’s deluge..but now the entire area was nearly waist deep in ink. Coughing as some of the black nonsense got in his mouth, he realized he was once again soaked with the stuff and sighed before slowly wading onwards. Fishing the paper out of its hiding place he frowned seeing it soaked..better to check on the little guy..

“Bendy you alright? This ink isn’t going to be a problem for you is it? We might be stuck like this until I can find a pump station or something....”

Unfortunately what replied wasn’t Bendy..but a low gurgling growl nearby..Oh great, they spotted him already. Hoping Bendy would be alright being drenched a bit longer Henry lifted his axe and got to work thinning the hordes before they got too close to do damage. Trying to move onward and defend himself at the same time was going to prove treacherous. His quiet companion however had decided to lend a hand, the ink soaked paper shook a bit in Henry’s grip, as if the little Devil was asking to be let loose. After the last two times he didn’t see a reason to deny the assistance and let the paper fly free into the ink below.

It was still a bit..startling to see that massive form erupt from something like a piece of paper, Henry would never get over the idea. But he’d certainly welcome the assistance Bendys..monstrous form gave. After all it was still that goofy lil doodle in there, point proven as a massive inky hand patted Henry’s head before Bendy waded into the midst of the strange forms and began bashing away. With his back covered, Henry could now focus on clearing out a path for them both to better grounds.

How much time had passed was uncertain but, judging by the ache starting to set in from swinging his axe about it was a good chunk of time by any standard. But now at least they could proceed without interruptions, turning around he spied Bendy’s massive back still turned to him as the sounds of something being struck reached his ears. Wading a bit closer he tried to reach out for his companion.

“Bendy, I cleared us a way through, c’mon lets get goin- Whoa!”

Henry ducked out of the way as a arm swung out at him haphazardly, just missing his head by a few scant inches. Backing up some he looked up at the other questioningly.

“Watch it there lil guy you almost knocked me for a loop moving like that..c’mon stop horsing around....”

Something wasn’t right..Looking at the other carefully he saw something that made his blood run cold..That usual little twinkle of mischief..of understanding was gone from the others eye. Bendy let out a hoarse growl before trying to make a grab for Henry, proving his fears right. What had happened, he was always able to handle that form before right? He needed to get some space between the two of them..maybe even get him out of the ink. Backing away towards the path he had cleared, he dodged every swipe and punch thrown his way.

“Bendy snap out of it! What’s wrong with you? Did something happen, talk to me, it’s Henry remember?”

Bendy didn’t seem to hear, or to care really who he was now trying to rip apart. The only thing keeping Henry from finding out how hard the Devil could swing was the scant few inches between them. He could feel the ink beginning to recede at last, there were some stairs further up ahead he remembered seeing..if he can get up them he might be able to get to safety and hopefully to a safe spot.

As it turned out, Henry met the stairs a lot sooner than he anticipated, the back of one leg catching a edge and throwing him off balance for a few brief seconds. It was all the monstrous devil needed to catch his elusive prey with a open hand and slam his once friend into the wall beside them, pinning him flush against the old wood with a gasp. Bendys one hand covered most of Henrys torso, effectively keeping him pinned with surprising ease. He couldn’t help but try to struggle free in vain, letting out a soft wheeze of pain as Bendy pressed into him slowly. He could feel his ribs slowly being pushed inwards with every passing second, trying to keep himself grounded he gulped down as much air as he could to try and get through to his now attacker.

“B-Bendy..what’s wrong..? T-this isn’t like you, please Bendy..d..don’t do this.”

He had honestly hoped his words would get through to them, but this wasn’t some cheesy cartoon with happy endings..The dark reality that he might actually die here was setting in at last, he knew it wasn’t Bendy’s fault..Something told him that little Devil wouldn’t hurt him willingly..something about the ink must be the reason..He just wished he knew before this happened. Letting out a harsher keen of agony he weakly grabbed at the hand holding him hostage.

“Ghk...A-alright..guess my..a-adventure here is over huh? Sorry I couldn’t..save you..”

The hulking demon seemed to shift some at that, tossing Henry once more onto dry land and lumbering up to pin him down once more as their remaining free hand took on a sharper edge to finish the job...Henry seeing that his words would have no effect simply closed his eyes and waited for the end to come swiftly.

“..I forgive you Bendy...it’s gonna be alright..”

If he was about to face his final curtain at the hands of his only friend here..he’d at least go out saying he didn’t hold them responsible for their actions..A sharp pain bit into his cheek...but nothing else came. Cracking open a eye after a few seconds..he saw a change had over taken the Devil standing over him..The almost manic grin had dropped into a distressed grimace as chunks of ink began rapidly breaking off of the others body..Henry felt the pressure on his chest lighten up immediately, with Bendy backing away from him as if touching the man burned him now..

Sitting up he touched his cheek lightly..finding a light cut just across his cheek had begun to bleed...Looking back up he saw that Bendy had collapsed in on himself, the hulking mass of ink breaking apart in heaving shudders..it almost looked like the little Devil was..crying?

“....Bendy? ...Bendy are you ok? Talk to me here..it’s just me, it’s Henry...”

Risking himself he scooted closer toward the shuddering form as it grew smaller and smaller, he could make out the soft choked sobs coming from the other as he reverted back to his original form at last. Henry waited a moment or two before scooping the nearly ruined piece of paper into his hands.. He could just barely make out a small form balled up in the corner shaking softly..Frowning to himself he didn’t say anything for the moment and let the poor doodle be alone to collect himself..

Getting back up to his feet once more, Henry resumed his now quiet venture into the unknown.

Episode #9: "Anyone wanna speak up?" - Zach

they tRIED IT SDLGKDMSKLGM

ok so miguel was voted off 5-4-1 miguel/ME??/luke. the four people who voted me were stephen / ally / jess / luke. thankfully, i could count on the Kato 2.0 people on having my back. we also just made an alliance!!! because FUCK my og alliance with stephen/ally/(and karthik). and I STILL HAVE AN IDOL.

ok i'm just shook. i lowkey thought maybe alyssa was playing me but.. she wasnt. she saved me and i owe her for that. i hope it doesnt really hurt her position in the game but she's by far playing the best i think.

i'm just shook. i'm not mad at anyone. i apologize for how i acted post-tribal but oMGGGfgGgG these BITCHES|!!! it's the game tho, and i hope i can keep on kicking and swinging cuz im gonna fight tooth and nail in this game.

also it's so funny idk why but me saying the last line was ALGKDLSGK i still laugh:

anyone wanna speak up?

(ill give more later im just.. frazzled)

Ummm so about that fucking vote. WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! WE HAD THE CHANCE OF TAKING OUT A FORMER WINNER AND A PROVEN CHALLENGE BEAST! I'm convinced the IQ of this person who flipped is a -20 because.. that was the stupidest move in the existence of Tumblr Survivor..... and I'm the QUEEN of the House of Stupid Moves. I can declare it.

I'm not 1000% sure right now who it is but I have two guesses.

My first guess is: It was Ally.

Reasons: 1. Ally has admittedly worked with Zach in another Survivor game. 2. She also arguably had the MOST contact out of everyone with Zach all day. 3. She possibly wants to pin this vote on Alyssa to break up any possible alliance between myself/Stephen/ Alyssa. 4. She wants to break up me and Alyssa 5. The group of Karth/Zach/Ally is a thing?

My second guess is: Alyssa Reasons: 1. If Zach left she is the next biggest threat here. 2. She wanted a shield. 3. She's trying to build as many relationships with people as possible to cover her social fucking ass. 4. She hates me and wants to off me and will use Zach to kill me in this game.

I honestly don't even know if my predictions are correct here but... I sort of hope they are and I don't look dumb in the future.

My plan going forward is: to not create a bigger mess that was already created.

XOXOXO Jessip Girl.

I'd also like to add another reason why I think it's Alyssa is because Miguel was one of the people who tried to vote her off.

THANK U

Wow!! An attempted blindside gone wrong. This was really exciting and fun. These are the reasons I play this game for, finally happy to see these happening. A lot of lies and betrayal all of which is understandable but these things has got me pumped up. I am going to play with my emotions and they have triggered me. Time to start playing the game and play it hard. An attack on Zach is an attack on me, so they better be prepared to handle my rage.I feel this was a very good tribal in terms of the game as it makes its future bright and exciting. Luke....what are you doing??? Everything that has come to out of his mouth so far has been a lie. I just cant believe the way he is playing, no where close to what I was expecting from him.

After last night's chaos... my word. I have a feeling Touchy Subjects is going to destroy some people here.

Plot twist: I've heard some recent developments about the flipped vote.

According to Tim it was Luke? Oh? Buddy.... has officially been put on my "Shit List" in this game. You can't sit around and play both "sides" of this game. THAT'S MY JOB.

I'm not too sure how I'm going to break this to Ally. She might not believe me but I KNOW I NEED TO TELL HER.

Also: I still don't get why sooo many people trust Tim. I know Tim doesn't trust me anymore or maybe... not as much as he used to. BUT why did he tell Zach right away about the Miguel vote yesterday? IT ALL SEEMS SO SKETCHY.

Being thrown in the basement has given me an opportunity to reflect on some things in the game. I was kinda flattered to be the winner of both "running the game" categories in Touchy Subjects. Unfortunately, that perception might cause the other players to plan more behind my back. I know from last vote that being in the basement before Tribal Council shouldn't impact things tooooo much for me. Still, I'd rather have the opportunity to talk with people whenever I want.

Speaking of last vote, I tried to blindside Zach! And it didn't happen. The original plan was Miguel, but things got switched up when no one seemed to bite into wanting him out. Ally wanted to get Tim instead, which signaled to me that she obviously didn't have a strong relationship with him. So I had to swoop in and say Zach should go instead because Tim is in one of my many alliances. Honestly I'm beginning to prefer the 4 Elements alliance over AJ's Angels because it's possible Alyssa was the one who flipped, and she's not telling me it was her. But after Touchy Subjects, I think I have a better chance against Karth in the end than I previously thought. He's viewed as inactive, which I personally disagree with, but that perception is very good for me.

Another alliance I'm in is the "Samurais" which I would have liked to call "The Resistance" but Luke had other plans. I honestly just view this alliance as a means to an end. That end being.... getting Zach out, SOON! Hopefully Ally has a case of tunnel-vision with getting Zach out as soon as possible and her/Luke don't suspect a thing when I flip right afterwards.

All of this is contingent on Jess feeling the same way, since flipping on my own wouldn't get me the numbers, which I think she will now that she sees the other players view Karth as being dragged to the end.

I'm still in the basement, so I don't know who the 2 sides are voting for. I doubt Zach sent me down here because he wants me to find an advantage... so I could be a target. I hope Karth and Tim would keep that from happening, and push the vote onto Luke instead. I might prefer to get Jake out just because I don't have a strategic relationship with him, but beggars can't be choosers. It's not like I'm particularly close with Luke anyway.

Ok so sorry for not making confessionals as often as I did before!! The game has literally been warped based off of the fist merge vote. Zach was targeted by Stephen, Ally, Luke, and JESS. Freaking Jess flipped on me when I thought we were really tight and cool. I played off my frustration with the others in the alliance of the 4 elements as understanding but I made moves. I first formed that allaince but now I formed an allaince of Kato 2.0 minus Miguel ofc. Tonights vote I want to do Luke but lets see. I will talk about challenge results soon as well!!

i won IMMUNITY!!! i'm so blessed because i've been told by two sources (namely tim & alyssa) that i was going to be targeted had i not. so? bless!

regarding what ''subjects'' i won: - would dump rice in the fire [true] - biggest physical player [true] - most likely to have an idol [true] - trust the most [false??] - want to see win at the end [false lol]

so that's interesting. i did a tentative game ranking and originally i put: alyssa > zach > ally > karthik > stephen > jake > jess > tim > luke

but now i'd put: alyssa > ally > karthik > zach=stephen > jake > jess > tim > luke but it's still super tricky to accurately rate because of the multiple factors you could include (threat size, potential to win, potential to go to FTC, allies, etc.). i honestly think my jury management is 0/2 so far, and that i will lose at FTC due to ''not working with people'' even tho i entirely blame others for that :D

now let's talk about the reasonings for voting me (hopefully i haven't spoken about this already): stephen - were worried about a potential idol play/new vote so they voted the "safer option", named zach. --> this kinda throws me off. i think it's realistically the most truthful of the 4 excuses, but it's kinda sad that my name was a ''safe'' vote opposed to someone having my back (because i have tried to work with them and especially like. jess.) ally - felt betrayed by the stephen w. vote and like i ignored her. --> i think this is dumb. firstly, girl, we kno u are STRATEGIC. secondly, i didn't ignore her whatsoever?? i was the closest to flipping imo but i didn't because stephen w. targeted ME? like if she genuinely voted me bc i didnt flip after my name was stephens main target (bar jake) then... sister idk what u want. luke - last minute scramble, didn't think i was getting many votes. --> well this is just false. point, blank and period. jess - that when she offered miguel's name, i was hesitant and freaking out (and that she wanted to be my number one opposed to number two). --> dumb. i told her miguel's name. i said it'd be sad but i'd be down and not willing to stick my neck out for miguel. maybe i came off poorly, sure, but if you truly wanted 2 be my ''number one'' u shouldnt make the vote me but rather someone else.

i'm just peeved.

on top of that, karthik is sooo rude??? like he didn't tell me shit about the basement until i confronted him. LIKE. I SENT AN ENEMY (OF MINE) TO THE BASEMENT AND YOU FAILED TO LET ME KNOW THAT YOU GUESS EVERY 6 HRS OPPOSED TO 24?? LIKE ?? I COULDVE SENT IN A DUCKING FRIEND!! so rude. i honestly am questioning my trust with him more and more through each round.

i also want to talk about someone that's great. JAKE! i love you so much. last confessional i may have doubted you (and, maybe the round before) but i'm extremely appreciative for you in this game and i can't stress enough that i'm just paranoid as duck and worry way more than i should. thank u LOL i trust u a lot now.

but, that's all in the past. let's talk about tonights vote. allegedly, stephen told tim that the target was going to be me, but due to immunity, jake is now the target. this makes a little sense given allys been wanting jake out the absolute MOST, but i feel like it'd be a decoy. don't matter tho xx i'm safe. alyssa is also apparently flipping (or, staying i guess) with our side and voting out luke - who is our sides target. i see logic in voting luke. he'll be the easiest of that side to get out, but on the other hand, he's the least threatening and if i'm going to flip someone, it'll be easier to flip people against ally (best liar, etc.) or stephen (running the game, etc.) opposed to luke (voted out next, don't want 2 see win, etc.). but have it be known that i'd CRAVE idolling out stephen or ally, and i may just do that.

it's still early in the day, and a lot can happen. i'll try* to keep yawls posted. i genuinely trust no one and i'm like at the stage of being sad ): because i don't think i can win and i don't think anyone wants to work with me even though i feel like i've been super social. i am always opened when i play games, and that may be 'snakey' or something but i'm willing to work with ANYONE. but they are not seeing that, and i don't know what to do abt it. maybe they're targeting me for being a threat (as a main reason), and that'd make me content but it feels like i'm one of those "one sided" people and... yeah. i guess only time will tell, but my fatass is in final 8 with an idol and all these birches know that, and i'll just have 2 play around that. good luck to me LOL ALSGKDLSKG

After a shocking touchy feelings, I’m feeling nervous about this tribal. No one is saying anything and I’m honestly feeling like I’m going home tonight. People are telling me I shouldn’t be and I want to believe them but I just don’t know.

ugh I want to save Luke but I cant afford to lose Tim/Jake/Zach's trust so I may have to just follow the groups preferences and vote Luke. I would rather have preferred the target to be Jess/Alyssa as they seem to be playing good games and aren't close to me. I had talked it out with Luke and now I feel like he would be help to my game down the line but dont feel like going over the board to save him.

Luke is voted out 5-4. He becomes the third member of our jury.

Episode #10: “Im not his slave im his partner.” -Andrea

https://youtu.be/StsZDwB6I6E https://youtu.be/_LKpUMGO2jY

I just feel.. really good? I think anyways. I’ve been talking to Ci’ere a lot today and I’m realising that I don’t even try to have a social game, I just just be good at talking to people??? Idk. But yeah it’s mostly good.. I have a lot of people I want to go far with which means I’m gonna have to let everyone else control the vote so I don’t look like I’m betraying people maybe?? Or I can just do what’s best for me , but I don’t need to worry about that yet I’ve still got og auva to get rid of :)

Holy wow. Final 9. I made the halfway mark. That's legit scary and I feel like throwing up because I rarely make it this far. I think that I have been in the good graces of everyone... seeing that I am one of the 2 people who still have 0 votes against me. Like my social game is doing that well and as conceited as this may sound- I think that I have a good shot at winning this whole show! But I still have to vote out 6 or 7 more people. Still not sure how this end game will play out, but it is coming and it is coming like a bullet train.

Well, it's the F9, and I didn't win that challenge like I'd hoped. I'm unsure if there was an idol clue involved or not. I'm hopeful not, but we'll see. Regardless not good for me because I was hoping Drew H would go next.

I think my ideal target this round is Drew T. Just because he threw my name out last time and it was frustrating to heck to hear that.

Beyond that I feel like I'm running out of players I could beat at the end, but maybe I'm underselling myself, and I'm playing a great game. I'm playing in the middle at the moment, which either nobody's aware of that, or everyone is and they either don't care or are planning my demise as we speak...

Let's go find out then shall we! :D

death. okno but like idek whats goin on. I am tight w just about everyone. With my cool new no lying stage theres more confrontation but i like... still dont think im playing a poor game idk i could be fuck I just know that in 6 days Sam and I hit 1 year of GP. He was my closest ally there and hes turning into it here. I adore Loris, don't think I could vote him out, but Sam just is so similar to me strategy wise and we just click its disgusting. However, when I make my cutesy post talking about how amazing GP is and my #1 ally, we'll be in f7. No gucci. I dont wanna get voted out for him again. Im not his slave im his partner.

Well, I'm playing a dangerous game, and tonight I can totally see it being me, nobody's giving me any warning at the moment though, so I'm still hopeful that I'm going unnoticed.

I still haven't found that damn idol which I'm definitely gonna want in the near future so that I can make a couple more bolder moves.

I think my ideal F2 is Emma, and my ideal F3 is with one of Loris, Sam, or Ci'ere, which I can think of some valid points against/with all of them. The one I'm less sure of as a 3rd would be Ci'ere, but we'll see how the game shakes down, or if I even make it that far to think about it.

Ideally it's Drew T that goes this round, and then it's Andrea or Drew H next, and the other one comes after that. But again those ideal circumstances, who knows if it'll genuinely work out that way, or if I'll even be around long enough to see anything past this tribal. But I'm making plans, thinking about who's on the jury, what I have to do to get there, it's just a matter of... GETTING there.

this tribal is sad. that’s all. I don’t feel I have much else to say zzz :(

I hate being busy everyone is being too quit :(

Me at F11: Guys we need to vote out Emma, it's the right move!

Drew T.: I don't trust Ci'ere, we can't do a plan that banks on him being honest with us after last time. (Dylan leaves) Me at F10: Guys it HAS to be Andrea, even if we're forcing rocks, like let's fuckin go and play this game Roxy: I actually already voted for John (John leaves) Roxy at F9: I just don't think Kori is the right move, if it's not our call to make we're playing this game wrong YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT WE'RE PLAYING THIS GAME WRONG, WE'VE BEEN PLAYING IT WRONG ALL SEASON BECAUSE YOU WON'T PLAY BALL AND TAKE A SWING, AND THINK IT'S BETTER TO VOTE OUT PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING AND PROVEN TO WORK WITH US BUT NOW THIS IS WHERE WE ARE AND THERE IS ONE PATH TO MAJORITY AND IT'S ALREADY ROCKY AS FUCK SO NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOUR RIDICULOUS DOUBT. THAT TIME WAS FIVE DAYS AGO. WE'RE HERE NOW. I'm pretty sure it's gonna fail again and I"m pretty sure it's because of the people I'm with. I really should've aligned with Logan and Odd…

bruh this has been such a hectic round. basically im in the complete middle spot as a swing, and it seemed like it was a revati 4 against the auvas and ciere with me smack dab in the middle. but the thing is, I have alliances with everybody now, so I was at a complete loss on what I was going to do. I don't want drew t gone, but I also didnt want kori gone yet either, who the drews were proposing as a vote. The tricky thing is, after results last night kori came to me with a suggestion to vote andrea out, which made me know even more that the "revati 4" aren't this unbreakable tightly knit crew. so it really begs the question for me, what group of people will want to go to the end with me, and what group of people only want me around until like f6 or something

the best part is, I have a f3 alliance right now with loris and andrea, and 2 more secret f2 deals with roxy and kori, who nobody else in the game is aware of. it makes it that much more entertaining when loris and roxy don't trust one another, and it makes me the perfect middle man between these different "sides." then of course there is the obvious wanting to go to the end with drew t, but im not sure yet if I want to do that or not. I love the dude to pieces, but im not sure if its best for my game to stick with him long term or not. but for now, he trusts me wholeheartedly, and I wanted to repay him by working my ass off to save him this vote, since I have no intention of turning on the revatis since I know for a fact they aren't a tight group

so then comes this crazy idea that pops up in my head: why not get rid of ci'ere? he's lied to me once already, and he's in the most "disposable" position for me since I know for a fact right now I don't plan on going very far with him. because I know he'll just lie to me again if he has to. so ive been going to everyone and tryna convince them that drew going now wouldn't be as beneficial, seeing as he's a huge public target right now, and no one really "needs" ci'ere at this point.

so im hoping this works out, ci'ere leaving not only allows this whole auva vs revati thing to continue or whatever and let me stay in the middle, but it also allows me to hide behind people such as kori and the drews who I feel will always be targeted over me as long as they are in the game. ive worked my ass off, and so far I think it's paying off in the sense that im pretty well connected with everyone. but it also means I have to blindside that many more people to get myself to the end

theres also the possibility of the drews tryna use this vote change as a way to eliminate kori, which yeah would suck, and esp since ciere will know I went after him, but can he blame me? he lied to me already lol. and I mean, everyone other than ci'ere will still be aware that I tried to do what was best for them, like saving drew to the auva side, or not voting kori and voting in the minority with the revati side, so either way if this doesn't pan out how I want, I should really only have one person mad at me, and that one person isn't near as connected to people in this game as I am. so come at me bruh

god this has been such a stressful tribal, but whether I vote in the majority this time or not, if everything pans out the way I hope it will, i'll still have the trust of everyone I need in this game to still be able to keep my f2/3 deals I have so far

I will send a confessional AFTER THIS VOTE JESUS CHRISTUSUS LET ME LIVE HALLELUJAH

Yup, Kori pretty much just confirmed that he’s willing to go to the end with me. At the same time, Drew H. said that at least we know we can work together. From being at the bottom to being in a swing position right in the middle. I’m an important vote for both sides so this is stellar! It would seem that Drew T. thinks he can get Sam to flip this round btw. We’ll see if he can work his magic, but Sam specifically said he didn’t want Drew T. at the end because he’d win and he trusts me way more.

Omg, just when I felt like giving up in the codebreaker challenge I decided to keep pushing myself to find the page because I want a W & I ended up finding it! I believe I was the first person to get to the puzzle, but I’m not exactly sure because it says someone already complete it? I took longer than I had hoped on the puzzle portion & as soon as I finished Kori was being Kori. It seemed like he was trying to flex that he was finished so he might’ve beaten me ugh.

Anyway, Kori got exposed for lying to Auva 2.0 about his vote & all the heat is on him which is great! I’m kicking him under that bus just a bit to hopefully keep that target there.

Sam is telling Auva 2.0 that he wants to flip this round. Now let’s see if he goes through with that.

So I've been talking with Roxy, and it seems just about a sure thing that I'll be getting votes tonight. Loris was apparently putting my name UTB, and he decided to call me the mastermind for the John vote. WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN WANT JOHN GONE!

But sure let's see how this mess goes, I'm gonna take advantage where I can and do what I have to to come out unscathed.

Drew T is voted out 5-2-2.

Episode 6 “bye bye winning streak” - Karen

The complete opposite of what usually happens, Aro did my dirty work instead of me doing his! I'm so proud of him but I revealed a lot of stuff about our connection to Mitchell yesterday bc I was certain he wouldn't be able to pull off a change in the vote but I'm really glad he did anyways bc now I still have an unflappable ally in the game and someone who was actively targeting me like two weeks ago is gone instead! :)))

I can't believe that actually worked. We probably could have gotten out Daisy like planned but we thought she was gonna use her idol last minute so we switched to Monty. But either way, I live to see another day.

Also! I've outperformed myself in Arabia so that's lit! Day 16 y'all!

I know I say this in like all of my confessionals, but I'm really worried for this challenge. Like its so simple, but that's what makes it hard? and I mess up really easily too, so I'm a bit nervous.

Hi I'm zakrazzak and i think im in a good position in this game? i never feel like that in any game ever i always just assume im gonna be voted out should we end up at tribal but this time i feel... completely safe with just about everyone??? weird. i think me, mitch, and dana lowkey made a f3? but like dana hates duos and they both know me and aro are fuckbuddies so im a little concerned. they both kinda really want to get karen out because she and lexi are pretty much a duo and we all know it, no ones heard anything about the idol yet and im assuming someone has it to be honest so that could make things messy. I'm pretty much just assuming we're going to tribal at this point and, for me, the choice would be down to either Karen or Allie - Karen and Lexi are way too dangerous and were targeting me week one, Allie pretty much just doesnt talk. im kinda really worried about voting out another vet so soon seeing as Linus and Monty the traitor just left back to back but I'm hopeful a little i guess

Man, I gotta tell you... ok i just noticed the top of the confessional page is a gif??? Wtf!! Okay so where was I.......... during the challenge, I thought that Aromal needed to win it to be safe. He basically confirmed what we'd suspected - that he'd flipped to Linus and Monty, and then Monty had flipped on Linus, leaving him on the outs. Aromal seems like a great guy and a potential ally, so it definitely sucked sending him off to Tribal Council. It even got to the point where I saw if I could give him my Idol - the people who would survive on that tribe probably don't have my interests at heart, but Aromal might. I couldn't, and was resigned to the fact that Aromal, a good potential ally, would be going. But then Aromal survived and Monty got axed!!! I was absolutely FLOORED to see that. FLOORED. I liked Monty and think in another world we could've worked together, but it's about damn time the Karen/Lexi/Monty clique got taken out, and it's even better that I didn't have to do anything but stay immune for four consecutive rounds in order to make it happen. Aromal survives, a potential ally but admittedly a member of a threatening obvious trio went home, and I lived to see another day. And on another note... I hope that I don't start to get seen as a challenge threat. Admittedly, I did win the last two immunity challenges for my tribe by myself, but speed typing and Jeopardy! are like the only two challenges I'm good at. That's not necessarily true, as I proved in Malaysia that I'm a bit of a force in challenges from Snake to Touchy Subjects, but in a tribal setting, the two challenges I won are ones that I'm dominant in and can't hide if I want to protect my tribe. I'm hoping that I've created strong enough bonds so that people aren't seeing me as a challenge threat - they're seeing me as my ally Mitchell who's been doing good for our tribe. But it's going to come down to some point where I can't deny my challenge abilities, and I'm working to prepare myself for when that happens.

I FUCKED UP THAT CHALLENGE. FUCK FUCK FUCK. I just feel awful, even though I was the last one left, I just feel like Makira immunity was all on me, and I let everyone down. I know we haven't officially lost yet but it sorta feels like we have since we all fucked up early. I was looking at another number and got distracted, so I really have no excuse, and god I just feel awful about it idk. On another really terrible note, I think someone else has the idol. Because Allie looked in the plane wreck, and there was nothing there. Also when Karen sent us the spreadsheet that the vets made someone had looked in the plane wreckage, so that means one of the vets has the idol :////. I could be completely wrong about this but I don't think its Karen or Mitchell that have the idol because Karen sent the spreadsheet before she looked for the idol that round, and Mitchell made some joke about expired Walmart coupons, which was on Karen's spreadsheet for where the idol wasn't. So that must mean that either Dana or Zakriah have the idol. Also on the vets spreadsheet it has it as the idol is not in the plane wreckage, so whoever found the idol must be lying about it to the other vets. But I also could be completely wrong about this, so yeah.

Recently the game has been going pretty well for me. After losing Lily, two vets have gone home, which has put the numbers in our favor. I high-key hope that LA and Daisy lose that challenge for their tribe, and take out Aro for flipping on Lily, and it also seems like Daisy and LA left Aro out of the loop on the last vote, so getting rid of him would be like getting rid of a vet. Jacob made me aware that he fucked up on the immunity challenge, and I know my score was about average, so at this point, we're falling on Luca to do really well, and we're also falling on another tribe to fuck up, so I'm hardcore hoping at this point. I thought we were going to swap this past round, but we're still here, and if this tribe heads to tribal council, I don't entirely know what my plan is, BUT I do know that I was offered a f4 deal with the vets, which I might play up, but I'm not entirely too sure about it. I might cohesively vote out Luca, with the vets and Jacob, and hope that that's a good long term move on my part, with keeping Ryan, Matt and Lex trusting me, but I'm not entirely too sure how it'll all play out, but at this point, I am expecting to go to tribal council and have a crazy round of tribal ahead of us.

I think I just orchestrated a master plan, and I made this because I'm extra careful, and really covering all my bases, but if this works, I'm going to come out of this tribal with a strong alliance of four, consisting of two veterans, and letting all three rookies from this tribe stay in it, leaving me, and my closest ally, Jacob, in the power position in this game. First I need to backtrack. I spoke to Matt a few rounds ago, and he was badgering me about a final four alliance with the vets.... mkay dude. That's definitely going to happen *shakes head furiously behind his back.* However, apparently he had been having conversations with Luca, and Luca was insistent to Matt that Lexi needed to go home, and that it'd be easy since she was inactive, but that's not the path I'm looking to take here. Lexi is the veteran in the game I'm probably the closest to, and I would almost prefer Luca the rookie go home over Lex, because she's proven to be a great ally, and an incredible asset to my game. My plan was to approach Lexi, and go back to the relationship deal we made the night we swapped, go up to her, and make an approach of letting her decide whether she'd prefer Ryan or Matt to go home. Once she said she would prefer to vote for Matt, I knew that I could use a lot of what Matt said to Luca, against Matt. I told Lex that Matt said if enough votes were there to take out Lex, she would do it, which made Lex be more willing to take Matt out of the game, and I set the ball in motion to make it happen. I went to Jacob and Luca to explain the plan of Lex flipping to us, to vote out Matt, and that Luca needs to get the thought out of his head of taking Lex out of the game, mainly because she is one of my closest allies. As of right now: Lex is with me, and she is voting out Matt with Jacob, Luca and I, and hopefully, unless Matt has an idol, Matt is going to go home. HOWEVER, Matt thinks that I have a f4 deal with Lex, Matt and Ryan, and that we're all voting for Luca. Matt wants to vote for Luca because Luca is apparently threatening, for outright targeting Lex, and being too strategic, so that works out fine for me. Luca and Matt should be the only two targeted. My plan heading into this tribal, assuming we even lose the challenge, is for Lex to be the one to approach Ryan, and she is going to propose a four person alliance between Jacob, Ryan, Lex and I, and this way, we can make a chat, and rope Ryan in into voting for Matt, and letting him know that the four of us need to make sure that all of the votes, regardless of who goes home, the votes are on Luca and Matt. I don't see Lex, or Ryan for that matter, lying about their vote, because I don't get the vibe that they're super cutthroat, like I am, so hopefully we're going to be good. Five of us voting for Matt, and Matt thinking that the vets and me are voting for Luca. Time to pray that we don't lose immunity, but if we lose, I'm all planned out, in a very discrete manner as well To enable screen reader support, press shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Z.

Today was very interesting. It's been the first time in ages since we knew we did poorly in an immunity, and the swapped Temoana might be going to tribal council for the very first time. We're not allowed to share our scores but we know we did poorly. And something interesting, game-related finally happened. I was talking to Johnny and Jacob today in our three, and Matt apparently approached Johnny for an F4 because he wants the Vets and him to vote me out if we lose - he's saying I'm playing hard. I brought Lexi up to him before, and quite honestly that was because she wasn't online much. But now that she's back on, I think I'm gonna need to try and work with her. Matt is a snake and he's playing the game very hard right now. I trust Johnny/Jacob enough to tie it. Lexi promised me she wouldn't vote me, so I think I'm safe today. Hopefully. No idea on what Ryan is doing right now.

https://youtu.be/7gezFtMRsFc

Well this challenge has been really interesting, basically I was kind of already resigned to losing the challenge because I was under the impression we were gonna show some like single digit scores, but I guess we won. I'm happy about winning because we have six pretty good people on this tribe and if we swap I have this nuTemoana alliance and the old Vets who I could potentially align with, but who knows what's going to happen? Basically tho, I think I am in a good spot on this tribe because I pretty much orchestrated a blindside of Luca that we aren't actually going to be playing out but oh well... I'm kind of eager to play this game just so I can really get my finger on the pulse of this strategic game, but if I have to sit back and play from the shadows and just observe then so be it, call me the Shadow King, because I will be so god damn sneaky no one will see me coming until i slit their throats. Slice slice.

YO FOR REAL I'M ACTUALLY SO MOTHERFUCKING PISSED THAT OUR TRIBE LOST THIS CHALLENGE! I'M GOING TO LOSE MY FUCKING MIND THAT *ME* DOING WELL IN A CHALLENGE IS GOING TO BE THE DOWNFALL FOR MY GAME. I am 99% sure that Matt would've gone home, and that would've taken a vet out of the game, and now Willow or Allie is going to probably going home, unless they pull a horse shoe out of their ass, and those are two of my closest long term allies in this game, and all of a sudden, they're at risk, and my team is going to fucking be safe, when I had convinced Lex to make such a BIG move, and now, we can't even make the move, all because I fucking did too well in the challenge. I'm actually losing my mind how badly I fucked this up for my game, and I didn't MEAN to do well, it just fucking happened. I hate being good at shit! FUCKKKKKKKKKKK

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE SWAP ULAWA IS NOT GOING TO TRIBAL AND ITS ALL THANKS TO ME. I DON'T CARE HOW COCKY OR BRAGGY THAT SOUNDS BECAUSE MY SCORE ALONE BEAT THE OTHERS TRIBES TOTALS. And Aro fucking threw the thing, he told me he wanted to in order to make daisy use her idol but that was the stupidest fucking idea and I told him no, that we need to win for once and then he throws it anyways. Daisy's score wasn't the greatest either, IT MUST BE SO NICE HAVING AN IDOL CAUSE APPARENTLY IT MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY. CAN YOU TELL HOW BITTER I AM?! Honestly though, maybe its because I game a lot, but I'm used to having teammates who actually help and put effort in. We might make jokes about one person carrying the team but its all in good fun and the rest of us do help, BUT NOT ON ULAWA. (still a little bitter over here) I'm worried this will put a bigger target on my back, if Daisy already considers me to be a challenge threat, this does no help my case at all and others might share that concern now too. At this point I'm just hoping the alliances I made before the swap are still there and I can move forward with them. I am happy we, I, won though. It might not seem like it but I am so relieved for once I don't have to stress about tribal.

Who're the three best challenge performers on NuMakira?? Me, Dana, and Karen. But all three of us were busy!! So Allie, Willow, and Zak came up to the plate. It's an easy challenge. It's... counting. It's literally fucking counting. I've won four immunity challenges in a row and all that stands between me and #5 is counting. All they gotta do is count. ...that's it. Now I've never done this challenge before, but I assume it shouldn't be that difficult to count, right?? WRONG WDFEWDFSDCEWDSAHONFWD within like 2 hours all three of them were out, so we had an entire extra day to prepare for Tribal Council. The results came in and our lowest scorer did better than both of Ulawa's lowest - AROMAL GOT A FUCKING 1 - but we STILL got obliterated, with LA and Johnny putting Ulawa and Temoana respectively into the thousands themselves. We got beat by a bunch of numbers. This sucks - going to Tribal Council is never a good thing. That being said... I've been on cruise control for a while, and now I get to actually play. I've harbored thoughts of making a move against Karen for some time, and now that we're actually going to Tribal - particularly as I suspect there is going to be a swap next - I'm excited that I've had the chance to shore up some trust. Willow and I have been good, but I had a very good and lengthy conversation with the ICON Allie last night. I really like Allie's energy and her vibe, but last night was our first real extended conversation, and it went really well. We talked a lot of game, she gave me a lot of insight into the rookies' tribe, and I feel... good about it. Allie and Willow have both said that this is, if not their first, ONE of their first ORGs ever. Now, they could be lying, and using this information to mislead my opinions of them, but I'm choosing to trust them. What benefit do they have in making up an entire backstory both for themselves and for the OG veterans' tribe? I like them, and so I believe them, and if Karen goes home 5-1, I will trust them without doubts. Moving into a swap, I'm piecing together who I can draft into a majority merge alliance - if everything goes smoothly at this Tribal Council, I'd say that the five remaining NuMakira plus Aromal would be my ideal. Relationships with Matt and Ryan will hopefully still be in tact and exploitable for the early merge. I truly think that, from the information I have - which is a lot, if it's all true - I'm sitting in a rather enviable position with Dana. We seem to be on the same wavelength on our own opinions and in the ways others feel to us. I hope that Dana doesn't try to bite the apple and oust me eventually for this reason; I like her a lot and I'd like to work with her for as long as possible. However, I can't help but have doubts about how good this partnership can truly be, and will remain vigilant to hopefully catch whenever this betrayal should arise, if ever. I will be shoring up my relationships with Allie and Willow for as long as we have left on this tribe, and will make sure Dana and Zak are okay with booting Karen. Then we dancin. Things are going so well I expect to get fucked up real good any day now.

It looks like it'll be Karen tonight but I trust not a single bitch until after tribal council results are read and I'm still in the game.

I'm honestly so worried about this vote, like it could go so many different ways fuck. I'm especially worried because I did so terrible in the challenge yesterday, and sorta all of the challenges in general. There are so many ways this vote could go right now and I'm not really sure what to do. Because its probably going to be me or Karen going home tonight. Okay so the first scenario is that Karen flips on a revote. She said she was trying to convince the other vets to split the vote in case we might have an idol (which we don't lmao). Then Karen said it would be 2-2-2 in which case it would go to a revote, and she would flip and it would be 3-2-1, or it would be tied. If me and Allie sided with Karen then it maybe wouldn't be me going home idk. Also I'm pretty sure we could trust Karen, at least for this vote. The other scenario would be going with Dana and Mitchell and Zakriah(?) to vote out Karen. So I'm hoping its a unanimous vote to get Karen out, or else I'm screwed lol.

ANYWAY! bye bye winning streak......me when i thot we could go thruout for this whole tribe swap without going to tribal but ! here ! we! are! ugh ok so as far as i know, zak and mitchell were gonna vote for me the first tribal so i dont see a reason not to snatch them this round, u kno show them not to mess w me. ok so basically ive made fairly strong bonds with both willow and allie, and as far as i can tell we are a solid 3 and tbqh im not here for picking the rookies off one by one and obviously i gotta be friendly w everyone bc u never kno what circumstances youll end up in. so i have an all vet alliance and a rookie alliance, they both have docs with idol info on it and basically this is the best position for me bc i can find the clue faster, which! i did and i shared it with the rookies so that they can help me look. but the thing is tho the clue clearly says that it has something to do with the plane wreckage but its already been checked? so i think i may have to do it in order which is ok it guess but hopefully i stay on this tribe long enough to figure the rest out. so all day i was thinking of a way that me and rookies can get our way this tribal, and im talking to the vets about idols and such and basically scare them into thinking that one of them having it bc weve been flopping when it comes to looking for them so, i propose a 2-2-2 vote as an easy way to flush any idol and even if it ties, we'd have majority on revote but! jokes on them bc im flipping to the rookies to make it 3-2-1 for zak. this plan is one of my better simpler ones, but it relies on no idols actually being played and the vets being naive enough to think that we'd all be sticking together.
