Hey I’m sure you’ve been asked before but what’s your opinion on the audiobooks of Red Rising? Personally I think Tim Gerard Reynolds’ narration as Darrow is what elevated the series to being my absolute favorite. As for the other narrators in IG and DA, Ephrim’s narrator really grew on me and I’m so sad Ephrim is gone. I’m glad Lyria got recast in Dark Age. I skip her chapters when I re-listen to IG. I think Lysander’s first narrator was much better. His new voice sounds 40 but he’s only 20

Sorry it took me so long to answer this! Fun fact, but you actually sent this around the same time I decided to re-read Iron Gold (via the audiobook) to help flesh out a theory post I’m drafting. So I didn’t want to answer until I’d gotten a taste of each narrator. That’s some A+ psychic premonition on your part.

Unfortunately, I’ve yet to finish the IG audiobook because of Real Life but I’ve at least heard all of the narrators, so even if I’m still not very far in, I’ll give my opinions on them.

So, confession time, Dark Age is the first Red Rising audiobook I have ever listened to, even though I've heard good things about the RR audiobooks in general. Audiobooks aren’t really my thing. But I was taking too long to read that monster of a book, so I figured listening and reading at the same time would help me finish it faster. And boy, did it!

Now, Iron Gold is the second audiobook I’m listening to... I’m going about this all backwards, it seems. So, I’m going to give my opinions on the narrators in the order I experienced them.

Dark Age —

Tim Gerard Reynolds:

The GOAT. I’ve only heard good things about his narration, including from Pierce Brown himself at both signings I’ve been to. Now that I’ve experienced it for myself, I have to agree! I’m definitely going to need to listen to the original trilogy audiobooks at some point to get more of this guy.

He made you feel every ounce of exhaustion Dark Age Darrow felt, especially in Part I, and during the finale. His rare moments of levity (Sevro’s Palace) were delivered impeccably. His character voices were enjoyable; his Rhonna was great and his Atalantia gave me the creeps. Any moment Darrow thought of Virginia made me feel the full gamut of emotions. Anytime he summoned his righteous anger and went into Reaper mode, Reynolds sucked you in with the drama of it all.

Darrow’s always been my favorite but hearing Reynold’s interpretation of Darrow’s inner narrative really elevated why he’s a fantastic character. This guy is great.

John Curless:

Honestly? If Reynolds weren’t in the picture, he’d be my #1. Calling him my second favorite narrator doesn’t do him justice. His Ephraim injected much needed comedy into this narrative. Curless balanced Ephraim’s other nuances very well too. His deep psychological issues, his continued grief over Trigg, his budding love for the kids. It was beautifully executed.

One chapter that still haunts me is when Pax forces him off the Z cold turkey. Curless nailed Ephraim going into withdrawal. He was frightening and it was great. I also loved his reunion with Volga, even if his Volga voice was jarring to me after hearing Moira Quirk’s interpretation for most of the book. On that note, his generic Obsidian accent (Scandinavian-ish) never became too annoying and he differentiated the main players pretty well (namely Ozgard and Sefi). I really liked his Sefi voice. Quiet and whispery, very Sefi.

Don’t talk to me about Ephraim’s fate, I’m still in pain. 😭 I actually liked IG Ephraim a lot, not as a person but I thought his story was interesting. But his DA development was incredible. He really grew on me, and the fact he won’t be back, meaning Curless’ amazing narration won’t be back, is devastating.

James Langdon:

I didn’t mind his Lysander too much. I mean, I hate Lysander, but I thought he did a decent job portraying him. Maybe it’s just because he was my first Lysander voice. Although, I do agree he sounds too old for the role, but then again, Reynolds sounds too old for Red Rising Darrow (16) so? -shrug-

My main complaint with this guy is that sometimes, during the height of the action, he sounds as detached as a BBC newscaster. Which is fine, when Lysander uses the Mind’s Eye, but even when he’s full on panicking, this guy sounds so levelheaded.

His character voices are... ok. The growly voice he puts on for Ajax, and little bit for Cicero, is a bit weird. His Atalantia is sensual and creepy af and I loved his Atlas voice. One chapter that stands out to me is Kalindora’s confession toward the end. Langdon blew me out of the water with that one. Kalindora was never my favorite, but he made me really feel for her in that scene.

Moira Quirk:

I love her. I think she’s great. She has a very strong voice that pulls you along the story with ease. I think Lyria has the best DA story line and Quirk’s narration only made it better. She embodied Lyria’s temperament wonderfully; the anger, the kindness, and the stubborn resolve to keep living after initially giving up.

I keep harping on about character voices but they’re important, alright? Quirk’s character voices are some of the best. Her Victra is high and mighty and I felt Lyria’s annoyance along with her. But she also did Victra’s vulnerable moments wonderfully. I LOVE Quirk’s Volga. She’s so cute! Her accent reminds me of Sypha Belnades from the Netflix Castlevania series, which is not at all correct regionally, but it’s so adorable that it is officially The Volga Voice in my mind.

Not much else to say on this one, except, I hope the next book keeps this Lyria or I will be so sad.

Rendah Heywood:

Hail Sovereign! Another amazing narrator. At first I wasn’t sure what to think because I didn’t have any headcanon for what Virginia’s voice sounds like, but Heywood’s narration quickly convinced me this is The Virginia Voice. Very classy, very calm, could kill you but chooses not to, so don’t push her, understood?

She really gets across Virgnia’s main frustration of being smarter than everyone and being right like 99.9% of the time but rarely being listened to, VERY well, without making her seem unnecessarily whiny or something. It’s just a fact that she’s smarter than everyone else and the worlds would be better place if you took her advice.

Virgnia’s always been a bit of a mystery but Heywood really makes her into a Real Person, you know? Her fun interactions with Holiday and Theodora, her devastation after the Senate upheaval, her drive to escape from her captors... Expertly portrayed.

Her character voices are pretty good. I thought her Sevro was hilarious. I’m already missing her voice in IG (since I’m reading these backwards). I’m really looking forward to her return in the next book... Virginia will still be a POV character in the next one, right Pierce? Right??

Iron Gold —

Tim Gerard Reynolds:

I’m repeating this guy only to say: Reynolds is making sure I feel every molecule of exhaustion in Darrow’s body and I’m not very far in. I’ve already read IG, and I’m just coming off DA, so I know it won’t let up but still... have mercy on me.

John Curless:

Repeating again to say, goddamn, does this guy nail Ephraim’s development between books really well. IG Ephraim is no fun at all. Barely cracked a joke yet and is still very much wallowing in grief... Curless’ narration really makes IG Ephraim bearable, tbh.

Julian Elfer:

Hmmm. I don’t know if I’d agree he’s better than James Langdon. They’re both ok to me. Elfer is certainly more age appropriate. However, he’s a bit monotone and his reading cadence is a little annoying to me. He sounds like someone reading his own writing at a book club more than a professional narrator. I don’t mean that as an insult! He’s pleasant enough to listen to but he’s not on the same level as the others imo.

Idk. I’m still not very far into the IG audiobook, so it’s not fair to compare him to Langdon without the full picture. Maybe he gets better. However so far both Lysander narrators are. OK. That said, I don’t think Elfer is atrocious enough to warrant a re-cast? I heard people complained about him and Lyria’s IG narrator and that’s why they were changed... but Elfer isn’t terrible so I’m confused on that one.

Aedin Moloney:

Oh dear. I hate to be so blunt but... I hate her narration. A lot. Coming off of Quirk’s incredible Lyria, Moloney’s performance is... jarring, to say the least. She doesn’t give Lyria the same spunk that Quirk does. Moloney��s Lyria is too out of character for me. Lyria’s life is a shitshow and her weirdly whimsical voice is way too out of place. And during the more frenetic scenes, she’s way over the top.

I guess the problem with this narrator is she gives Lyria Too Much. Lyria is a very practical, very down-to-earth person, not prone to expressing a lot of deep emotion. Quirk balanced this very well, making her inner narrative just emotional enough without contradicting her outer expression. Meanwhile, I can barely follow along with what Moloney was saying when Tiran got shot because she was So Distressed and Hysterical. Good thing I had the book open.

Again, I’m not very far in, so maybe she gets better... idk. Take my opinions on Elfer and Moloney with a grain of salt because I haven’t finished IG yet.

Thank you for the ask! I’d love to hear opinions from anyone else on the second trilogy narrators (because I think we all agree Reynolds is great).

Pokémon White Randomized Nuzlocke Run [Part 6]

Five badges down, three to go!

Hail the victorious living:

Frogger (Seismitoad)

Ptera (Archeops)

Palm (Breloom)

Batman (Escavalier)

Gelding (Tornadus)

Fido (Entei)

Clay invited our ten-year-old self off to see a cave in the middle of the wilderness, so that’s first on the agenda today.

Or is it?

Yeah, fight time.

Bianca has learned the way of the Hyper Potion. I would mind this less if she used it on something that didn’t know Hypnosis. And Defense Curl. And Lucky Chant.

Bianca’s Musharna is much like Bianca’s Patrat. It has murder in its heart.

STOP FEEDING IT HYPER POTIONS BIANCA. JUST LET IT DIE.

Sigh. Well. It’s BRNed now. So Fido doesn’t have to be awake for the rest of this fight. Aw, but it wakes up anyway, because Fido loves me.

All of my fucking yes.

I’m going to let Gelding tackle the Pansear, because I don’t think he can get too hurt from it. I’d very much like to not be wrong about that, and ta-da, all is well.

The final Watchdog is before us.

How fitting that Gelding knows the move Revenge.

Confuse Ray is nothing before it.

Confuse Ray, Super Fang, and Hypnosis.

Hey so Batman’s in now and I don’t like this at all.

Lemonade for Batman. And now a Hyper Potion.

Super Fang can’t be its only attack.

HA, BATMAN WOKE UP!

She fought through the Confuse Ray and killed the bloodthirsty Watchdog!

Hell. I hate those things.

Bianca gives us Fly, so yay. When’s Surf coming around?

This route is great for Palm, so I’m going to give in, let him lead the party, and throw the Exp. Share on anything that can’t do jack against the current set of wilds. I guess it’s nice that everyone’s getting a turn up front.

Time to open up our new area. Hopefully it’ll be full of things Batman can grind against. ...Gosh, that’s a sentence.

LOOK AT THE COOL CAVE.

Also N is there.

Fight time?

Oh hey, I forgot you things existed!

I guess they’re people. I probably should not call them things. Hey N, why do you get a ninja squad with your knight motif? What kind of Mary Sue nonsense is leaking out of your green hair and if you give me your hat will I stop commenting on it?

Also, fight time is apparently not until the end of this cave. If then.

Which means now is the time for finding pokemon.

...Not you. No repeats.

Chargestone Cave’s true power is bringing all of the characters with names together. Hi Professor Juniper. Are you going to give me free stuff again? You are!

It’s a Lucky Egg!

That is an incredibly useful item to have. Thank you, Professor. I am so glad you do something besides telling people where they can ride their bikes.

Actually I don’t know if she does that. I haven’t tried to ride my bike anywhere I can’t. I’m too used to being yelled at over that.

‘Ello, score. I don’t know how I feel about how many of these things I recognize from elsewhere, and let me tell you about how much I wish this Yanmega did not have SonicBoom, but Yanmega’s cool.

The trick is not going on autopilot. This thing can murder any number of my team.

(Yes, I forgot the Quick Ball again.)

Net Ball?

...Nope.

This has the feel of not going well. Frogger, you have the most HP, go soak up some hits.

If I have to knock it out just to avoid a wipe I’m going to be sad.

I need to buy some stuff at the next town. I have eight Great Balls left. They aren’t even earning a shake. Hey, wait, that one did. Yay?

Yay!

Dang, name. Name.

I don’t think enough people are reading these to judge me if I name it Fluttershy. That’s his name now. See you another time, Fluttershy. Hopefully never. I like the current squad.

The game’s now decided it’s Summer.

This matters because now the random Deerling we come across will be adorable and green and I can never have one.

I’m gonna give Gelding the Lucky Egg and toss him out in front.

There’s Chansey in here. This one knows Minimize. Another move I don’t care for, but yay for Revenge killing it in one hit. Plus, you know, actually hitting it. This cave is going to be gold for exp.

A wild trainer appeared!

I can’t remember if Archen has a Rock typing. This thing is conceivably very dangerous. Not while it uses Agility, but... Yeah, okay, Acrobatics brought Gelding down to 25, Fido, operating under the theory that it doesn’t have a Rock move, go murder it.

Murder achieved. Good dog.

Frogger’s going to be in front for a bit while I see about healing.

Frogger does not do enough damage to harm the Chansey with Softboiled.

Batman, get in there and try to fix something.

Future plans include never letting Gelding take damage. This is all a massive inconvenience of switching and walking around and switching and yay exp.

I think the next time I can buy stuff I just need to make a concentrated effort to pick up some Potions. Walking back to whatever Center equivalent is nearest to save items is very time-consuming. I should give up and buy all the health I will never need.

Look at my super special awesome ninja escort. Because I might fall off the bridge if I’m left to my own devices or something, idk.

Gelding wants to learn Agility. I do not want him to learn Agility. Guess which one of us has an opinion that matters.

Now a Maractus has appeared. Is this cave just the land of repeats?

One level below, Shiftry, Chatot, and Xatu wander the halls. So only the first level is the land of repeats.

These guys both just gave me a Nugget for no reason. Score.

Oh great, a few steps away is someone who heals stuff. That is so much better than free Nuggets. Naturally the healing’s only there because Team Plasma and plot stuff needs to happen elsewhere in the cave, but we can’t have everything.

Another pokemon I love is Scraggy. Team Plasma likes using it. How dare they. Same with the Sandile set.

This gen has so many good pokemon what even.

Like, yes, Watchdog.

But everything else.

Heyo, Batman’s learned Iron Head. Ptera’s going to get the Exp. Share now. I think the leveling is going to be a little absurd for a while, but I want it to be absurd with everything on the same page. We do not play favorites on this team.

Because the favorite is dead.

Gelding’s turning out to be surprisingly useful just because his moveset has so much variety. He has a Fighting, Psychic, Flying, and Dark move, and a focus on both Attack stats. It just walks on things. Floats.

Hahaha except for Watchdogs with Hypnosis. Why does that not ever miss. Hypnosis, Super Fang, and terror. These are the tools of the devil.

!!!!!!!!

I can’t catch it, but ! ! !

I’ve never seen any of these in any of the games! This is truly the cave of wonders!

Also our new way of dealing with Watchdog is sending out Palm and having Palm Mach Punch it into oblivion. Because we shall not suffer a Watchdog to live.

Another level down, and there’s Grimer, Electrike...

I need a legendary bingo card and I need it yesterday. The heck. The actual heck.

...

Am. I playing with a shiny clause?

...

Okay, here’s how shinies will be dealt with: I am allowed to catch them outside the realms of the standard challenge. They will not receive nicknames, so will not be used. But I can try to catch them.

“Them” meaning this Grimer, because I don’t think shiny odds are affected by the Randomizer. This is just some cool natural luck.

...Luck that I think I am going to use my one Quick Ball on. I haven’t yet figured out which move is least likely to kill this critter, but all of my pokemon have ten levels on it, and are fully evolved. If I can dodge hurting it, I should.

Hella!

I don’t usually dig the green shinies, but it is super appropriate for Grimer, and I am very happy to have it.

This floor has Zubat. My heart has a feeling. You have not been missed, you fucking bat, but no Pokemon run would be complete without you. It just wouldn’t be the same.

You know, I think I might have gone down the wrong stairs for plot progression. There were just normal trainers and items down there, and there are stairs that go up to the right of those stairs.

...I’m gonna heal before I address that.

Up the stairs, and we’re back to Entei.

As well as plot.

I was about to ask if there’s any other gen that cares as much about its color names, but then I remembered that yes, pretty much all of them are linked well to some kind of something.

I keep disagreeing with N. I can’t remember/do not know if that changes anything in the slightest, it’s just what’s going on.

Hey so I forget. How does N rationalize his use of pokemon for battles? Was that in one of the dialogue bubbles I didn’t read? Or just much earlier in the game? I don’t particularly care, I’m just curious.

Then there’s Professor Juniper and all the other adults who listen to this kid and go all, “Oh sweetie, we all go through the phase of thinking we’re the only ones with good thoughts. Lots of love, keep having fun!”

I’m paraphrasing.

Look, Flying Gym place.

If there is some other way of thinking of it, I do not have it on my memory record. Oh, Move Deleter’s in the house next to the Center. That would be maybe useful if I still had a legendary that knew Cut.

I don’t, if you recall.

Hey, we meet Professor Juniper’s dad. He updates our pokedex, so maybe we won’t end up with question marks where most of our team’s numbers should be.

Flying Gym Leader’s name is Skyla. Pretty sure she is one of the Gym Leaders I am continually searching out femslash fic for. Results make me sad, but then again, it’s been a while. Maybe that’s what I’ll do after beating her.

“Hey kid, wanna see a graveyard?”

Aha.

That is much more depressing in a Nuzlocke run.

This is a really tiny city. There’s the airport, a few buildings, and then BAM, back to nature. After being immediately outside a cave. This town just popped into place because the airport showed up, didn’t it?

But more importantly...

It’s a new route!

What will we get?

I’m walking around the grass because I can’t remember if there are other kinds of grass in this route and I want the illusion of choice in my completely random options. This has led to fighting a triple battle with a trainer who has a Watchdog.

At least it can only make one thing fall asleep per turn. It doesn’t bother trying, because this monster knows Hyper Fang, which is maybe even more stressful when its only chance at attacking is a critical hit, but the important thing is that it’s over now and another Watchdog is dead.

We faint the pokemon we attack. My team can be killed, but not their opponents.

Watchdogs still die.

#Canon

Hello, I accidentally took a step into the grass, and here we have our new friend!

...How not to kill it. I think the usual route is just Biting it with something, but everything except Fido and Batman has ten levels on it, and Fido and Batman are Fido and Batman.

Grass/Water, right? Hm.

Frogger, let’s see if Mud Shot can keep the little guy alive.

Heyo! Not even to the orange. Good boy, Frogger.

And oh geez, I have been very negligent in buying stuff. Poke Balls are still in good shape, but none of the other Balls are.

Oh, nice. That was pretty much painless. He needs a name, though.

You remind me of a ninja turtle.

Leotello. Bam. I hope I don’t need you, because I know I didn’t choose the Water Stone to have, and I can’t recall if I’ve picked one up.

I really need to switch Gelding out of the first slot. Fido needs some leveling, and Gelding really does not anymore. He’s 40 in a field of high 30s. ...Okay, the actual field is high 20s, but the field known as my team is high 30s, and that’s what I care about.

Anyway, Fido. Witness the power of the Lucky Egg.

...After I go and buy some stuff before I forget.

(That didn’t happen, I fought the next trainer instead.)

I FORGOT ABOUT AXEW.

Aw, you adorable dinosaur creature you. I am so sorry I’m gonna murder you, yes I am. Such a perfect, flawless critter. Best Dragon line is best, no question. Haxorus even has an amazing shiny form. -pats Axew on its perfect head-

Okay, purchases. Potions. Balls. Need them.

Have them.

Okay, yeah. Journey free to continue.

Male Nidoran is a thing in this route. So is Girafarig. So are trainers.

Mother?

Why are you caring about your ten-year-old at this point in the story?

...Huh. And that’s literally all she calls to do. Neat.

There’s darker grass over the ways. Let’s see what I could have had if I had been slightly more smart about where I put my feet.

Hullo, it is a Staraptor.

That is such a damn badass bird.

Like, look at it.

Look at its soulless eyes.

Terrifying.

V cool.

Purrloin is also in the darker grass. And more Buizel. Back in the normal grass there is Ariados. I always had some degree of affection for that thing. No idea why. Never once used it, and I don’t like spiders. I guess it doesn’t have the right number of legs, so that makes it okay? Huh, there’s also a Durant.

...Did I enter a different area? I didn’t see anything to indicate that. There’s a Girafarig back again. Maybe it was just a percentage thing.

Ha. Yeah.

I don’t wanna go in.

A place I obviously should have come to long before.

I’m just going to run upstairs and dance around the graves until I find my next pokemon and trigger whatever’s necessary to let me battle the Gym Leader. Armed with the comforting knowledge that if any of my team dies, they will have a good, immediate resting spot.

I know I’m like the millionth person to point this out, but really. There are really trainer fights in a graveyard? Wherefore art thou respectless maggots.

Oh my gosh! You! You are a favorite thing! Hello!

...How the heck do I not kill you?

I think. I’m going to give Gelding a shot. Air Cutter isn’t too

...

No?

Gelding no. No no no no no no no.

Damn it. No.

To finish the thought above, Trapinch is Ground, so I was willing to chance Gelding’s high Attack against Air Cutter being kind of wimpy, and the type resistance killing STAB, and there was a risk regardless because of the levels and stats, but I thought Flying vs Ground wasn’t such a terrible thing to bet on, given the options, and.

Hell, now I’m sad.

Less meaningful things hanging out in the graveyard are Anorith Anorith and Anorith. Is it one species per level or am I just unlucky and growing sadder?

I picked up a Revive off the ground in a pokemon grave site.

That’s a yes on sadder.

Hey, so I’ve been seeing a lot of Swoobat lately that I haven’t screencapped, and that reminded me of something: I never went back to that cave, and I think there was more to it. It has one of the legendaries from this gen in its depths, I think, and I guess there isn’t much for me to do in it, but it’s weird to think there’s a place I didn’t really explore.

...Meanwhile.

Where is my bingo chart.

I don’t even know this thing’s typing. I think it’s from this gen, but it’s one of those that I maybe got from a GameStop event and never really looked at or used, and even that is foggy. My assumption would be Psychic just based on me shrugging and assigning Psychic to any legendary I’m not sure on.

Green could mean Grass, though. Wait, no it couldn’t. I used Flamethrower and it lived.

Fido’s setting a record for number of times it can hurt itself in confusion. Being put to SLP is practically a blessing, and I seriously need to switch before we see some legendary on legendary death action in the wrong direction.

Yeah, definitely Psychic. Batman is super effective against it.

So that was needlessly scary, and then on our way down the stairs to see the friendly nurse (this gen is so kind about healing stations and I love it), we run into a Dragonair.

I don’t think I could play a randomized version without Nuzlocke rules or something similar. I would go nuts training every single thing I loved to be a viable option. I’d be a hundred hours in and have four badges.

Plot?

To soothe the souls of our fallen friends.

Huh. This is kind of an empty detour. Skyla’s only up here to heal a pokemon off-screen, and then we ring a very pretty bell that gives me feelings that wouldn’t happen without the death clauses. It’s nice enough, but I could have sworn something a little more monumental went on. No?

Am I thinking of another memorial site? I think I might be... I think Golett is somewhere later in the map?

Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of.

I won’t complain about the free exp, this just felt like a bit of a non sequitor delay. Usually places like this turn out to be optional.

What are you doing on top of this tower. You are lunch for Palm and I appreciate that, but this is the opposite of your natural environment.

Palpitoad’s up here too. Palm is a lucky mushroom kangaroo this eve. His Attack stat will always make me sad, but his existence makes me happy.

The floor below the top has Muk in addition to the legendary song thing. So that’s neat. Actually wait, Frogger’s the only one not 40. Maybe I’ll let him beat up on the Muk.

Oh. He was closer than I thought. Anorith works too, I guess.

Every time I see a Trapinch I am going to feel just so sad.

So sad.

I don’t even know what I would have named her. But we would have been amazing together.

For now, though, it is Gym time.

It might not have aesthetic, but Skyla’s Gym is all about firing yourself through cannons repeatedly to find new opponents. Yes.

Ptera is going to be in the first spot. With Crunch in the place of Rock Throw (why did I do that again?), he only has Ancient Power for STAB + Super Effective, but he’s still overpowered as heck, and has a partial Rock typing, so he should be okay against other birds. I think most of my team can probably handle anything she throws out, though there will, of course, be the odd “wait it learns that?” moment. Hopefully nothing too catastrophic, but I do expect it.

It’s a bird. It’s a plane.

It’s a me.

Without the necessary syllables to make that reference fly home.

So, the cannon fodder seems to have early 30s for their squads. Ptera’s not having a problem with that, despite me using Acrobatics even though he has a Lucky Egg on him. Items and Acrobatics do not play well together. I’ll try to remember that before Skyla. It hasn’t mattered so far, but if it does matter, it’ll be against her.

Oki doki. Lucky Egg off, Ptera prepped. I was lazy and used a Potion for 12hp to top Ptera off instead of going back to the Center. It isn’t like I’ll have much use for standard Potions. It’s practically free healing.

Now then.

Let’s gooooo.

I can’t remember if I’ve commented on it yet, but the sprite for our protagonist just looks so serious this gen. It isn’t quite so noticeable when he’s on his own, but put him next to someone like Skyla and he brings Red to mind.

He is a little happier in the video chat things.

Maybe he just takes Gym fights seriously.

What a weirdo.

First up is a level 33 Swoobat, looking adorable. Yay for Crunch, and it is gone. Following that is a level 35 Swanna. I’m going to use Ancient Power and cross my fingers for that one. I was about to be happy with Crunch over Rock throw, but I really miss having a physical Rock attack.

One and done, last one up is a level 33 Unfezant. Ancient Power again?

Yes!

Another painless victory, another badge! Sweetness!

Skyla lets us go with a warning about seeing Team Plasma in the next city, but that is a thing for another day. Now is the time for basking in the glory of success and Pokemon Centers.

AHH! Uh...Who's da King? Until the sun comes up, and won't stop, seriously though I love them all !!!

11. What is/are your favourite kingdom/s ?

Lemurs kingdom, duh...XD, if I had to pick another one, doesn the sharks count?

Clover, probably because she's such an inspiration to me and it would be extremely awesome to meet her in person 😍

The worst, uh idk...maybe THE ENDING!! The words worst and hate are no where close in describing my feelings towrds the end.

The scene in I Maurice, when Julien is in a coma, and Clover is super worried about him, and she's touching his face and stuff💞 also in the pancharian canidate when she throws him over her shoulder to get him to saftey, and in Karl ma(something) when she gets worried in the room of mirrors because she can't find him Pretty much any/every Jover scene

19. What is/are your least favourite scene/s and why?

*coughs loudly* Clager! Sorry I need some cough medicine. Any Clager moments I would gladly wash down the sink

20. Have you ever cried while watching?

Mmm....I hate to admit it, but yeah.

21. Which scene/s is/are the funniest for you ?

XD, um, the scene when clover asks Mort what is wrong with him and he says probably lots of stuff and his eyes roll super far apart. But there are A LOT of halarous moments in AHKJ and I love them all.

22. What do you think about King Julien?

I think he's the most awesome character ever created in the history of television! He deserves more RESPECT!!

KJ: Respect-me! King-me!

Thanks a lot Netflix Original!!!

Indonesia Finale - "it's what those roaches deserve" - Lorelei

its here, its time for the grand finale! The final five was two newbies, three returnees, all nuCahaya and all with a hunger to pull out the win. Michael, the veteran who had played most recently whose tight bonds with his allies had brought him to this stage. Trent, whose cutthroat deception had been crucial in the season’s events, but whose betrayals left the jury sore at their treatment. Jess, the resident crackhead, who had played a glue role between her many allies keeping the fragmented alliance pushing, but whose games was perhaps invisible to the jury. Olivia, whose balancing of social, strategic and physical game play had set her up as arguably the biggest all rounder, and major endgame threat... And of course, Anabel, whose social game and self-awareness had ensured she had handled her game with grace, and had the unique balance of significant influence over the season’s events, without scorning the jury...

At the final five, after Jess scooped up immunity, it was finally time for a nuCahaya vote out. While Olivia remained a major jury threat, Michael entered the spotlight due to a perception that given that he seemingly directed the alliance, and his large personality, would mean he was credited for the alliance’s work. After Michael called out the tribe mates during his exit, he was sent to jury, highlighting Olivia’s obvious jury threat status on his way out.

At final four, the final immunity challenge was do-or-die for Olivia, but after an impressive challenge performance from Anabel, Anabel stormed to victory in the FIC, earning that last gem in what was to be her winner’s crown. Despite Olivia’s campaigning, the obvious ‘winner energy’ meant she became the final juror.

At FTC, while the jury was critical of all three player’s games, Jess’ treatment of the minority, ‘playing dumb’, was criticised, as was Trent’s consistent, and on occasion, unnecessary lies. Anabel was largely praised, for being open to making moves, for the tact she showed in voting jurors out and for her overall legend status?

At the winner reveal, Isaac & Anabel decisively won Fan Favourite for their charisma and entertainment value, Olivia was the clear POTS for her all rounded game and Anabel was also the winner of the season 7-1-1, bringing the season to a phenomenal end.

TRENT

Last round was pretty simple. I knew I had to win immunity (well i thought i did because i figured stoner would go hard for it) so i gave it my all and won. Then of course stoner starts the lie about the idol. Which I knew immediately was a lie because I've figured out the torches and that it was saying I had the one idol. The problem was trying to convince the rest to not split the votes and freak out. So I did a hail mary right before immunity results. Promised to my tribe that no matter what I wasn't splitting, and if this is the time they wanted to take a shot at me they could. They all agreed to not split and just go all in on stoner. LUCKILY i won immunity so i had nothing to worry about. It seems like most people ended up voting for stoner except for 1 of the 5. I'm pretty sure that was Olivia. Shes been playing a very sneaky game so far and so i'm hoping she doesnt win immunity this week. I think I can get anabel and jess to vote her out if she does not. Then it's final 4.

OLIVIA

STONER IS GOOOOONE!!!! FLYING MONKEYS FOR THE WIIIIIN.

I feel really horrible about voting anabel. I think it was my death knell. She said I’m fine and she isn’t mad but goddamnit I would be and I wouldn’t blame her if she was. I should’ve just listened to my gut.

JESS

I'M SO HAPPY I WON FINAL 4 IMMUNITY! I genuinely thought had I not have won there was a GOOD chance I was getting 5th so I'm feeling #blessed. But now I have to make a CRUCIAL decision for my game. I think at this point I've already lost this game considering who is on the jury. I think the other 4 have managed to piss off way less people than I have and I simply just sometimes rub people off the wrong way. There is no way I'm coming out of this vote clean. I just need to figure out how to play this. As much as I want to keep lying to these people... I've basically been in a 3 person alliance between everyone left. I have one with Anabel and Trent. The other with Michael and Olivia. Either way I'm breaking a final 3 and potentially pissing two people off. I need to figure out the best route here. This is my thought process on what to do: Michael: He has played the best social game of anyone left. He has only received ONE vote all game, hasn't had to rely on Immunity, and I believe he has the jury in his good graces. He can also take credit in creating the Flying Money's and it could be argued he played a giant role in some major moves. Right now I'm leaning towards voting for him. Olivia: Olivia and I have played similar games I believe. I think we have been equally social, both were labelled immunity threats, and I believe she may have the jury also in her good graces. She is also super driven and the biggest FIC threat. Trent: Trent could convince someone with 20/20 vision that the sky is green if he wanted to. He could get credit for being a major player in some major moves this season. He has the whole "Newbie on a tribe filled with vets and survived pre-merge" and "Newbie on a majority vets merge and survived" edit. He might also claim that Anabel was his "puppet" (fucking straight males. Am I right?). Anabel: She played a super under the radar game, she let the big players take each other out and received a lot of votes this season and still survived. She might even play up the fact that she was able to get people to believe she was inactive and such as a strategy? idk. I want her at the end and I think everyone else does too...

OLIVIA

Shiiiiit it’s probably

How the FUCK am I here?!?!?! AHHHHH holy SHIT. This is so amazing. Now I just gotta crush this challenge and I’m THERE! Jess and I have half the points anyway so we can at least tie. If she doesn’t turn on me. Knock on wood. But I don’t think she would

So happy and grateful to be here. So so happy 🥰🤗

MICHAEL

Final 5 Confessional https://youtu.be/WCTxtlKInBg

OLIVIA

I’m telling everyone I’m fed up with the challenge also but I’m having a ball 🤪

Oh my godddddddd this CHALLLENGE IS KILLLLLLLING MEEEEEEEEE

I’m so fucking nervous. I know Jess is trying to beat my name game score and I just hope 145 holds strong ahhhhhhh

I can’t stop bawling. I did the absolute best I could and it’s still wasn’t enough and I’ll go fourth again and I’m never gonna make the fucking finals because this is how it always goes.

JESS

I have a fucking 1 in 3 shot at going to FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL!!!!! WTF?!?! I'm honestly so excited at the idea of a FTC but so afraid of the decision that has to be made right now. A bitch isn't immune so I could get wrecked here. I love and adore both Trent and Olivia and they both are arguably the two people I believe I was closest with in this game. Either decision I make is going to impact me in my chances to win and I'm going to end up hurting someone :\ SPEAKING OF CHANCES TO WIN.. the way Michael left really scares me. I know my chances to win may be slim here but... I'm really scared he's going to try his best to fuck shit up in jury and make sure people hate me. I saw a different side to him that I do not enjoy whatsoever. I mean I'm sure he doesn't have to say much to get people to hate me but STILL. I hate that I always get myself in these situations where I get so close to people and then I have to cut them. Why couldn't I just be a basic ass player who goes online for like 15 minutes a day like Anabel. No ones feelings gets hurt this way.... I'm essentially the swing vote here (I think) unless everyone turns this around on me. If they do I totally 10000% deserve it at this point. I feel like such an asshat. Also I can't wait to look like such a psychopath when these episodes come out uwu.

OLIVIA (this is ten confessionals in a row and its so upsetting to read)

I’m not sure Jess is who I thought she was

Once again I’m painfully reminded I never should’ve voted Isaac out. Would I be here if I hadn’t? Probably not but still 😭

I am this close 👌 to losing my absolute shit in the tribe chat. Jess and Trent are making me so fucking angry today and I’m just not fucking ready to go but the writing’s on the damn wall but I can’t blow up or actually be angry because that only cements everything.

“Can we just discuss this vote in the tribe chat and sing kumbayaa as we vote olivia out? Is that fairest?”

No fuck you that’s not fair I don’t want everyone discussing why they should get me out in the main chat JESS what the fuck

I know I “shouldn’t” be angry and I should go peacefully into the night la de da and that’s what they all want so they don’t feel so guilty but fuck that like we all roasted Michael for being angry (and he might’ve taken it too far) but like you know what 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 I know I could win and I know I deserve to win and I wanna be fucking gracious and nice about this but I’ve put so much of my soul and time into this game and I’ve sacrificed a lot to play it and these numbnuts just want me to lay down and die pretty and I guess I’m just too much of a bastard to let that happen

Oh you wanna “talk about” it in the tribe chat? You know what I wanna say there? “I’m voting for the ever-traitorous Jess and anyone who wants to join me is welcome to and actually highly FUCKING encouraged to”

Great now I’m sobbing again. I always thought it was Jess and I and now she’s fucking saying it’s been those three the entire time and I’m just a fucking moron for ever thinking we were together. Her and Trent just openly said they’re voting me in the tribe chat. It’s so brutal and I just can’t stop crying. She really just straight up lied to my face this entire fucking game and I believed her I’m so stupid and I really just wanna quit at this point. There’s no chance in hell anabel would ever give me a fighting chance. I can’t believe it’s over and it’s ending like this like this has been such a great game and I’m just so depressed

Anabel said she was really mad at them for what they put in the tribe chat and she might tie the vote to give me a chance. I’m not getting my hopes up but it’s my absolute last chance

Well anabel is voting for me too. Said the three person alliance was BS. Idk what to believe. I’m just embarrassed and upset. I’ve tried every possible thing I could do. Thanks to the hosts for everything. You can only wake from a dream once. Guess it’s time to rise.

I was so nervous for every single tribal that I’d be voted out. I was so scared and so anxious I couldn’t even go to tribal it was all too overwhelming. And now I’m leaving I just feel kinda dead inside

JESS

Can't wait for these confessionals to come out and for people to hate me some more! uwu. Honestly though, this game was a blast. I switched things up and played a game I have never had the balls to play before. I still obviously have a LONG WAY to go before I think I ever win one of these but.. you win some and you lose some. But also... can someone let me know how I found out I was apparently a premade with Trent during the question period? BECAUSE UMM.. That was news to me. Woo! congrats Anabel.

ANABEL

well.... its over. im really happy that i got to play in this season, i know that some of my gameplay was not well-recieved but every single one of these people has really made my life better. this has been a really great experience and even if i dont win im satisfied with how i played and everything that i did and i hope that even if my game isnt respected, i certainly hope i am. love this cast, these hosts, just sm love in general.
