watching the entirety of jrwi: riptide again. here's some important things from the first few episodes that I feel we forgot (<110 mentions too though)
Jay
Had night terrors similar to those of Kubakinta's curse in episode 5, and they eventually start returning even after Loffinlot's curse is lifted ○ All of them were about her family and/or the navy ○ I simply think people leave her out of the nightmare stuff and she deserves it. Hurt her more, please (he said, lovingly)
was actually very upset at having to use her medal to get a Loffinlot rebellion to shut up ○ This could be because she didn't want them to guess she was a spy, but I choose to believe it's because she felt guilty
"If you're gonna be sailing with someone, you should have a good relationship with them. [nervous chuckle]." She says, while asking him for information about the Black Rose Pirates (ep. 10)
Said "thank god they didn't find me" after a nightmare about the navy attacking. Even when she was supposedly a spy, who one day would have to return to the navy ○ Very unclear if she was scared of her dad, or if it's because she was a secret spy so the navy would've just killed her
Rewatching, she was suspiciously into the plundering and gold and stuff. Like that was real sus. It doesn't fit her current character much
The only one among them who's gambled before
Chip
The entire thing literally starts off with Bizly holding a lit match
Called Gillion "Gill" and Jay "Sureshot" from an early stage
Was SO much more of a bastard. Lied to Gill constantly, didn't care about anything but the money, etc.
Had aggressive hand tremors alongside Jay's night terrors ○ Gill cures it with lay on hands
When he gets drunk married, they talk extensively about how he'd be released when he's dead. Welp.
They did actually break up and it was fine and they were still friends. They parted on good terms
Is really fucking good at chess ○ Beat Earl twice and Jay once. Jay had a point of exhaustion after a nightmare but Earl had no excuse ○ Lost to Gillion though, but only cause of prophetic screwup ○ This kid is smarter than he lets on, y'all
Was the first one to have a backstory dump while Jay is asking him about the Black Rose Pirates, yet still we know jack shit about his life before them other than "orphan"
Gill
Charlie has referred to Gillion with 'they' many times. I can pull receipts.
When describing Gill, Charlie said: "He's more.. elven, if you had to make a comparison. 'Cause I don't wanna be a fish guy". Oh, honey.
Smote a bald person by using his hair as a whip (ep. 4)
Was given anxiety and self-doubt alongside jay's night terrors and chip's tremors ○ "What do you want?" "I want the feeling of satisfaction I've been chasing my whole life." ○ This was episode FIVE.
First mention of the prophecy and how Gillion wasn't their ideal student is ep. 7, after he divine smites + prophetic screwups and deals like 60 damage to some beetles ○ Chip spends the next 30 seconds in gay awe
He refers to the crescent moon Niklaus tattoo as "my zodiac" (probably a bit) ○ It's not a lil basic white girl moon this thing is the entire size of his forearm
Gill had never heard about the Black Sea - it's unclear if the Undersea just don't know, or if that's just how sheltered he was (ep. 10)
Biz: "What would Gillion do. If he just had no goal - was just sitting there." "Gillion always has a goal." "Would his goal ever be to just.. Sit there?" "Absolutely not." ○ Later, Chip expresses that he doesn't know what Gillion likes. What he would want out of winning a bet. Gillion doesn't have an answer
Other
Apple, in a couple of early battles, acted like Gill's familiar (see: ep. 7)
They also pecked at his Niklaus tramp stamp and looked all confused at the idea of eating seeds
The specific crescent of the moon in the Niklaus tattoo is known as a symbol of "corruption" (ep. 9) and its antonym is the sun, for "life", similar to the yin and yang ○ Interesting to consider after what the tree said in 110 <_<
Pretzel has a masters degree in couple's therapy (ep. 10)
The Albatross/Millennium Chipper was described as the colour of rosewood or mahogany
Captain Lizzie's first introduction was a wanted poster, and Chip wanted to turn her in for the prize, then decided to try learn from her instead
Chip/Bizly called Old Man Earl "Erol" for a loooong time ○ Maybe it's an accent thing but I have an uncle called Erol and so this stands out to me

this is a submission written by ellie (@thetypingpup). you don't understand how fucking much i enjoy these reactions and how she feels reading twlg LMFAO. i have already read through and responded to her via discord (as she was kind enough to send this as soon as the final dropped) please enjoy reading this as much as i fucking did LMAO
Tumblr media
The last federalist paper (for now lmao)
Good lord this is nerve wracking and emotional. I’m literally shaking as I’m typing this. But we’re here. We’re at the last part, and I’m writing my last condemnation of that man (unless i come up with more to say bc i probably will lmao). I’m gonna do the same thing as last time where i’m gonna write the reaction as an essay while I read, so somewhat intelligent, lots of screaming. *deep breath* ok here we go
Full disclosure, I have trust issues with these types of stories so I did skip to glance at the end first to see where this went, and so far all I have to say is huh…I did not see that coming.
Ok now to see how we got there.
Omg what’s this? Actual thoughts…ABOUT MC? Positive thoughts that aren’t just about sex?? What the fuck???? Omg i’m really taken aback by this so far holy shit. And omg not him being worried for mc? Is that worry on your face sir? Where’s all this coming from holy shit this is what i’ve been waiting for from him the whole time what? Fuck better late than never for that man, better late than never. Jeno’s right tho he is spending an awful lot of time with eunbin. Might wanna…might wanna address that sir.
I will say tho that scene with jeno is the first time we’re seeing the exclusive thing be acknowledged from mc’s side. Again better late than never. Treading a lot of ground in this part wow. Jeno’s the number one best friend so far here. 
This is just the chapter of surprises bc not that man is the one to be like “we need to talk”. Not mc being the avoidant one. Not me almost crying at that kiss scene. Which is crazy bc I read the spoiler, but in context it's a gut punch. This has been nothing but surprise after surprise so far. Wheeeeew that was a clusterfuck of emotions omfg why do I feel for both of them WHAT THE FUCK CAS WHAT THE FUCK???
"Jaemin feels conflicted." Bitch I feel conflicted bc there were some egregious bumps in the road before getting to this point with that man. I would know I wrote about them at length lmao. And I be if he had a gun to his head he still couldn’t list five of mc’s personality traits. Welp, let’s see how he atones for all that. 
“I wish I could pull an Eunbin and leave on a trip.” AND I OOP. ANNA OUUUUU. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW WHAT THE FUCK WOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Ok wow. Just….wooooooow. I can’t even say anything intelligent. The words are on the tip of my fingers, but all I can type is just….wooooooooow.
I’m loving the dynamic with the three besties too. Like yes mc is the main character, but i’m so glad the others have established storylines and the dynamic btw them is really fleshed out, and it’s all displayed so seamlessly through their interactions. It’s giving euphoria in the best ways.
“You hardly know anything about him, and that’s because he doesn’t let you” YES EXACTLY THANK YOU. oof there we go some acknowledgement. At the very least tho, mc knows some things. Surface level things, but still some things, things we've seen, which is still more than i can say for that man at this point. So far what do we got from him? Uhm…he likes the sex, he likes the emotional support, thinks you’re pretty, and…that’s what we got so far. Ah well, we’ll see how that changes leading to the end.
OMG YANGYANG MY MAN. MY BOY. the way i was internally screaming throughout that whole scene. Poor guy I feel bad for him, but i’m glad it was a blurting out of ‘hey actually i like you and i wouldn’t do that shit to you that he did’. As much as i personally would’ve loved to see that, i am glad that he respected her enough to keep that part to himself and just comfort her. Once again proving that he cares so fucking much about her omg. In another universe this would be a different canon event and these two would be together bc the tenderness? The care? The heart wrenching confession of ‘i love you’ whispered so quietly it could easily be lost to the wind? The tug on the heart strings? The way we got so much more of how he actually feels about mc than we ever got about that man in tens of thousands of words? The way all of this affection for her came through in a few paragraphs? *big sigh* in another universe. In another universe. Alright let’s see what’s going on with that man again fack.
Yeeeeeeees. This yangyang confrontation yaaaaaaaaaaaas. Bring it oooooooooooooon. Ah damnit he doesn’t beat his ass. He should’ve had one good punch in. nah but on some shit, dramatically, this is a perfect follow up to the previous scene. Yes he technically betrayed mc’s trust, but fuck it someone had to get the ball rolling, so it makes perfect scene. 
Ok i’ll admit, when that man’s heart sank when eunbin finally admitted her shit, i smiled. I smiled real big. I had a grinch smile on my face. Serves him fuckin right after everything that’s happened. Oh we cheered. Oh we cheered and clapped. More pain more heartache for that man he needs to suffer. I still don’t know why that man was spending so much time with her to begin with after he claimed to be done with her before, but at least that time is over. Oh wait a minute now what’s this? Acknowledgement? Self awareness? He finally figured out the problem with having eunbin around? Just surprise after surprise this chapter wow. 
“Do you realize you were the one that broke the rules first?” “Enough with that fucking name” GET HIM AGAIN FOR ME. GET HIM. WHACK HIM. DRAAAAAAAAG HIM. Wheeeeeew my head is spinning omfg. GET HIIIIIIIIIM. FINALLY oh my god you have no idea who cathartic this is. The way it still wasn’t her verbally agreeing at all, at any point, and just that man decided “hey we’re exclusive now” and still going along with it. Like what now she’s saying she agreed to this? Where was this before?? That does still bother me quite a bit I cannot lie. But still GET HIM AGAIN.
Ok here’s his apology. Hmmm…I feel like he’s got a lot more to apologize for (see previous essays lmao), and again besides the sex, the emotional support, and now a more apparent attraction, still don’t know what it is about her that he’s drawn to. Can he name those personality traits or do I need to grab the revolver? What is it that he likes as a person? As a human being? I guess that’s gonna be one of those unanswered questions. I guess that’s the way life goes.
The ending is very sweet tho don’t get me wrong. The love making is very sweet. The epilogue is very sweet. It’s very cathartic and really made me emotional to read. Now, is he still that man? Am I still his parole officer? What’s the verdict? Well I just finished the chapter and so far I have to say hmmm…I guess Jaemin is in the clear FOR NOW. He’s done his prison time. We’ll call this probation then. But I will be watching for him in the upcoming parts of this college series, and I’m more than prepared to make a citizens’ arrest if I have to I will be the first one to jump his ass.
Fuck this was…such a journey. This was such a fucking journey. And honestly this journey even transcends this work. Like yes this work is masterfully done, one of the most enriching immersive experiences I’ve ever had with a fic, but I already told you that lmao. Through this I joined the discord, met some incredible people and made some incredible friends. Through this I met you, and you’ve become such a special friend to me and I value our friendship so much. I appreciate the fuck out of it (see what i did there please clap). I’m proud of you Cassie, for putting in all this work, for seeing this through to the end, and for cultivating an incredible community with your amazing work. 
 I was going to end this with something cheesy like "the real way life goes was the friends we made along the way", but i'm moreso sitting there like the fish in bags in finding nemo all like...now what? Lmao will be tuning in for your future work!

Obey me! Lesson 60 Spoilers!
And me trying to be funny with my commentary🤷🏻‍♀️
Tumblr media
I feel ripped off a bit that I couldn't kiss him here...but we definitely fu-
Seriously though, I just can't even! Like, he so sad about saying goodbye to us again😭 Me too, Mammon. Me too. Real life tho, you can't tell me we haven't fucked this man at least once by this point.
Tumblr media
Lucifer, don't ruin your own surprise, the fuck???
Well, I know the other option is that Lucifer makes us spend the night with him and all cause, that's what I got the first time but.....honestly.....I think I like this option way better. Like, Lucifer. Avatar of pride. Kinda just....drops his facade for us. Only for us. Even if it's for a moment. Like....I don't know if it's just me but I find that way more intimate than the other option. Simply because it shows how much he truly trust and loves us. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it, idk.
Tumblr media
IT'S TIME TO PARTY!!!!!!
But, Simeon has a point. Literally the only reason any of them even did this IS because of us soooooo. Just saying.
Tumblr media
I'd be so down to sing a duet with any of them! We'd sound beautiful!
I seriously hope I get to be together again cause I hate having to say goodbye to my new family😭
Tumblr media
Diavolo, I love ya, but, I genuinely can't make it more clear how I want to stay in Devildom permanently.
Tumblr media
I would be honored! I don't wanna say goodbye either! Just take me home already!!!!
The fact that they will try anything to not leave us again is just 🥺😭❤❤❤ my heart, I love them so much.
Tumblr media
WHEN I TELL YOU, I NEVER CLICKED AN OPTION SO FAST-!
I'm sure they didn't immediately think marriage when wanting us to be family but, I would totally. Without a doubt. Marry Mammon on the spot. I just can't even🥺💛 Not to mention that it's hilarious that all of them just kinda looks at me like, "The fuck? Really?" When I'm over here simpping over My first man😂💛 and no, I have no shame in it, thanks for asking.
Tumblr media
Diavolo. You are literally the only person preventing this from happening.
Like, seriously, I know he has his duty to the three worlds and all buuuuut, sometimes he just kinda disregards what we want. Making us stay in the human world, even if we don't want to. Like, I get that there's some bad blood between the three worlds and I know true peace doesn't happen over night but, what would be a better example of the peace and harmony like you keep praising about then a human marrying a demon. Or at the bare minimum, a human happily living with a bunch of demons. I just don't understand how this wouldn't be a push in the right direction. Sure, we COULD spread the good word about demons and Devildom with the world but, so could Solomon. He could easily do it too. Why prolong the inevitable? It's something that kinda frustrates me when we have to leave even when literally no one wants us too. Even Diavolo doesn't really wants us to. But he still sends us away. I feel like there's more to this then Diavolo is letting on about keeping us separated. Like, I can't be the only one, right?
Tumblr media
I'm just crying, don't mind me.😭
Also, I will continue to show everyone how much I love Mammon simply because, it annoys me to no end how all the brothers don't think that I could love him or that he isn't worth my time. Seriously, earlier Levi said how I couldn't marry Mammon because it would ruin my future. That's seriously messed up and I will straight up shower this man with love till everyone feels sick from how sweet I am for him.💛💛💛💛
Tumblr media
HOLD THE FUCK UP, WHERE'S MY MONEY-!
Simeon. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?!?!? WHY IS RAPHAEL GOING TO SEE YOU???? WHY DO YOU LOOK SO SCARED WHEN YOU SAW IT WAS HIM?????? IS SOMETHING BAD GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU?????? LIKE NOW I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!
Welp. Tis the end of another season.
I'm really sad to say goodbye again but, with that cliffhanger, I'm WAAAY too excited for the next season to come out! I just don't know were this is going. Celestial war 2??? Because, ya know. We exist. It's what I kinda feel like where this is going. Because of "The Ring" that connects us with the three worlds. And it's only made us more of a point of interest because we nearly cause the worlds to implode on themselves and that Simeon had to steal, yes, he definitely stole it, don't lie to yourselves, the Ring of Light for us. So maybe God sees us as a threat??? Or perhaps knows that we are a distant descendant of Lilith so he realizes the Diavolo stepped in were he shouldn't??? You can see something from behind the scenes something slowly building up for something to happen with the Celestial Realm and I think that's were this is heading. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into it? Perhaps. But, we'll find out eventually, right?
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

#101: Exercising, me, or it's just my another "ambitious but rubbish" moves?
Yea, a new toy. I finally bought a fitness tracker.
Tumblr media
I hung this Huawei Band 4 Pro onto Morgana like this on a certain evening and it tracked that this cat got an average 90 bpm heartbeat and saying it was sleeping the whole time the tracker was on it. Welp :P
Well, as a cheapskate myself, I sure take a looooong time before I finally punch in my credit card number and put in my order for it. Yes, I sure did that.
I've had one eye on this fitness tracker thingy before, but seeing how I do have a lack of exercise in my life, I thought "nah, I probably won't have any use for it" and keep pushing aside the idea of getting one times and times again. Also, at the beginning when this kinda thingy pops up on the market, I feel like they was focusing on it more as a smartwatch - a watch that happens to have a bunch of smartphone function and also happens to have all these sensors to track your movement, health and et cetera. Since I already got a plain old watch myself, I just brush it aside as I don't really need it. I worked hard to save my small allowance money back in my high school days to get enough to buy this Swatch watch, and I wasn't having any idea to get it replaced since it was still working perfectly fine. Yeah, I still remember when these Swatch watch was a thing among my mates back in the day, and before that I was just using those cheapo fake night market "G-Shock" watch and keep exchanging them when the battery runs out. I thought, why not finally getting a proper good watch and use it till I dead, and so I bought one some months before SPM exam.
Fast forward 9 years later after a strap change and 3 battery replacement later, MCO and lockdown happen and I'm super bored. Life wasn't super exciting and fitness wasn't super good. Finally the thought of "shit, gotta do something about this" came and that idea of getting that fitness tracker finally hits.
Gotta say, the lack of exercise was really bad since I've finished with my student year and starting that office working life. It was already bad back when working at office was still a thing - 9-to-6 job was more like 8-to-9 working life with those traffic to office and back home during the weekdays, and my fitness was so lacking that I can't do much but sleeping half my weekend off to recover back those lost energy. So, exercise when, I wonder?
And then the c-thing came about and working from home was finally a fad all over the world. No more need to face traffic every morning and night, but things didn't change much for me as I fell into the trap of maximizing sleep as much as I can haha. Yea, I failed to establish a proper morning and night routine, and the bad spiral continues and looping on day after day. Workload was a lot during the day, and nighttime was the only time I got off the laptop screen so I spend most of it on TV screen and YouTube till very late. Even without nothing to watch, my mind was unconsciously refused to sleep - "this is my relaxing time off work, I gotta maximize the time I spend here" instead of getting sleep to rest. Coz of how late I went to sleep, I was very much very sleepy after fajr and decided to just go back to sleep to at least complete that 6 hours minimum sleep time. And so, I went back to sleep until 9am before finally wake up and straight away switching on the laptop to start work for the day. Good morning then was completely off and broken.
And so, I decided to stop all this. I need something to at least bring me back to a more healthy lifestyle than what I have above, and I thought fitness tracker might be just what I need for it.
It kinda worked, so far. I mean, it does feels good to get to see how much I've exercise each time after a running session ends, and the thought of "next time, I wanna run a bit farther than this" keeps coming after that. Y'know, like doing something, anything, and getting any sort of feedback afterwards - you just feel sort of fulfilment and accomplishment with that feedback. With this fitness tracker, I got that feedback - I know how many kilometer I've done my running, I know how much I've exercise based on the measurement of my heart beat, and it measured how much calories I've burned too, not that I really need it. Feels good to see all these data, and then comes the feeling of wanting to get more data and so I'll keep doing exercise for it.
At least, I felt that a good spiral, a good routine is coming after having this fitness tracker.
Yeah, most of the measurement coming out of this device is overestimate at best, but it's alright. Especially those sleep tracking that this thing can do. I don't need a very precise, very accurate data for my sleep analysis - I believe I don't have any sickness that deemed to have those accurate data - but it estimated that I have only around 30 minutes of deep sleep during the night is just good enough. At least there's some sort of measurement that I got, and with it I can get more motivation to improve my sleep quality. At least, that's a step into getting a better night sleep. At least, that can give me the motivation to sleep rather than spending the night late to do something other than work as a façade of having a rest time.
Being a cheapskate again, yeah, this device might be unnecessary, but I gotta say it's a good motivator for me to have a better lifestyle. At least for me myself as how I've run a not good lifestyle I've talked about on the above.
As for now, I've started to do running at least once a week because of this fitness tracker. At least that's something, yea. Moving forward, I do hope that I can keep up doing these exercise, and keep improving upon it. I plan to do a short run in every other morning, hopefully I can do that and keep improving my lifestyle, my fitness. A fit body is never a bad thing, no?

Ep. 1: "There's 100% going to be a Canada alliance." - Amy
Tumblr media
Amy
Initial reaction of cast reveal: I’m toast But for real this can go a couple of ways for me, none of which have me seeing myself make merge lol. I’m either going to be a very early boot here or be nice and active enough to solidify a place for a while. Lots of familiar and unfamiliar faces. Hopefully the people familiar with me won’t want to immediately vote me out. I have already mentioned to Derrick that I played with DeNara before, so hopefully we can bond over that and it not be used against me. I have explicitly asked Jared to not exclusively lie to me this go haha but we both said we were more playing for the other half of our duos and just agreed to do it. I was excited to see Blue on my tribe and I also know Leanne, and have already had a good chat with Klied - but his name does have “lie” in it 👀. Honestly I want to do a quick portion of divide and conquer, I planned on chilling in a pool tomorrow and going to drag bingo with Ava. But no one has solidly chosen anything so they are really about to force me to be tribe leader and sort this out. Things I look forward to: vibes, chatting with cool people, meeting people, twists, and drama Things I will not be doing: sitting on hours and hours of video calls. Not my style. But I know several people in this game love it. Let the good times roll y’all
Kenneth
HERE WE GO AGAIN! i'm fresh off of ingary, but jay has magic powers and pulled me in to another season of a potential clown fiesta <3 but seriously, this already seems a lot more enticing and spicy because of the theme in itself and how the challenges and idol hunt are structured so i am very excited to play :) i learned a lot about my last game and i will improve on it (hopefully) by taking more risks and plays that WILL be appreciated by the jury, and not be overly attached to people, which would result to tunnel vision. the first challenges are already pretty great, and i cannot wait to play this game. TO WIN! hehe >:)destiny i’m super confused about a lot of stuff tbh but everyone on my tribe is so nice and welcoming and i’m sure i’ll get the hang of it all soon :) i’m excited to be playing and just hoping i don’t screw things up for my tribe :/
AmyThis tribe is exhausting. Challenges where I need to send a photo back quickly really hate me. My phone took like a minute to actually send the photo, but Waldo went well. Except I started in the bottom right looking with vertical transects and Waldo was hiding in the bottom left 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Woulda been 30 seconds had I started over there. But I’m already expecting tribal so I’m just hoping I wasn’t the worst portion of our challenges haha!
Leanne
Not very much to share so far. Some people on this tribe are much bigger talkers than others, Jared, Derrick, Klied, and Amy. It’s been harder to get Convo from Jesse and Blue, and I’ve barely heard from Josh or Aubree. I wonder if other people have had the same experience. Haven’t dared try game talk with anyone yet. Hoping I’m not behind, but it’s only day 2 right? Maybe I’ll try to put some feelers out with Amy. Maybe I’ll tell her about some things in the idol hunt and see if she’ll give me anything in return, maybe try to get a partnership going. I’m glad she’s on my tribe, but also a little bit scared because I’ve seen exactly how good she is. Aside from that, the person I feel best about right now is Derrick. We’ve had some good chats and seem to connect well. Hope he feels the same way. And Moth. I’m especially nervous about them. When we played before we didn’t exactly hit it off, but I think we’re both… trying. I hope we can have a new start this time, a new story. And from what I know of them they are a very loyal allies so, here’s hoping. Also happy to see Sarah here, and my yinzer JG. Maybe he and my dad can bond over that? And that’s all I’ve got so far. God I hope I did enough in the challenge today. *whines* I don’t wanna go to tribal first!
Jared
Don't mind me making a confessional before the game even starts, call me a game changer. https://youtu.be/JFOxzamkcH8
Jared
Not one, but two, confessionals before the game even begins. Sorry not sorry! https://youtu.be/SETx-0LoI9E
Shawn
Well, things are going good so far! I think anyway. Although I like everyone on my team, I do have to say it's odd playing with someone whose older than my father is, Frank. Usually I like to take charge in games like this, I like to be the leader. Yet, with Frank, it's difficult because he's so much older, I feel like I'm a little kid around him. I don't wanna tell him what to do, because I don't wanna be disrespectful? I'm so excited so far though, absolutely loving the challenge and how we get to pick! Im not that bright so I'm happy I can do creative stuff.
Aubree
This is my first BvW confession! Idk about the other tribe, but the Mysa Tribe is super chill. Most of the conversations yesterday consisted of everyone saying hi and that they were busy and would be active later. Day 2 and the activity level is still the same, which is kind of a relief since I am much more of an introvert. I have been trying to be the first to reach out to people since I feel that is something I have struggled with in past ORGs I’ve played in. I’m usually the reserved/silently-strategic player, but I’m going to try and be more proactive for this game. Ive talked to Klied, Jared, Amy and Leanne a decent amount and have enjoyed our conversations. I know of Amy due to the games she has played with Sarah, so I am hoping that works in my favor. Amy did say that Sarah voted her out in the first game they played in, so that could work one of two ways for my game… like if it came down to a vote between me or Sarah later on?? but maybe it is too soon to think that far ahead? Lol Even though I’m an Art Teacher I chose to steer away from the Creative part to our first challenge. Tbh I’m so burnt out irl when it comes to being creative due to my job, so I’m okay with taking a step back from the creative challenges for now. I’ve enjoyed being a part of the Scavenger Hunt, even though it was a bit harder than expected. I was so stoked to have a Starry Night print, but since it wasn’t real it didn’t count… Like who the heck has a REAL VAN GOGH?? (Or quick access to one) LOL As much as I would LOVEEE to have an original painting, that teacher salary-bracket doesn’t allow for that!! Lol I haven’t had anyone directly ask to me to be in an alliance with them… so that is - interesting? I’m used to the last two games I played where it felt like everything was very paced. Now, It’s either A) everyone is just chillin’ and not wanting to rush things or B) bonds HAVE already started to form but I’m not a part of them? I guess things will spend up more after the first challenge is over and we see where our strengths and weaknesses are in the tribe. Until then! - Aubree
Moth
Hi!! I’m back again and playing with someone I know. I actually happen to be on call with Destiny as I type this but like- were vibing And also once again I’m starting off on the wrong foot, not at home when the game starts.
Moth
I don’t trust Jared Straight up And I feel like that’s fair- Twice I’ve been voted out for my connections to Kyoshi island and it’s really fucking frustrating- Jared apologized and sounded sincere but idk I trust people too easily.. Brayden, Denara, and Leanne are also all in this game All people I’ve played with Leanne I don’t trust right off the bat. I tried that before but like- that didn’t work for me. I just want to at least make it to the merge
Frank
Having fun, learning as I get going. Truly impressed by the comraderi among people whom I've never met. Old dogs, new tricks, this is cool.
Klied
The game is going pretty well so far! Everyone has been really nice and supportive of one another. I hope this tribe dynamic continues for the next rounds of the game! :>
Moth
I fucked it up I genuinely feel really bad because everyone’s so confident in me- And I’m totally going to be a target now
Moth
Ohhhhh thank god Thank god because I was absolutely going to be on the chopping block if we lost I don’t want to be first out That being said
I don’t want Destiny to be first out either
Shawn
I'm not very happy tonight with how things went. I truly believe the other team deserved the win, the video was creative and a lot of effort was put into it! I think it was a great thing. But I disappointed that we lost so many of the challenges. I'm also getting annoyed that people are being present on the chat. I feel like it's me and another tribe member that is putting in all the work. Not impressed, but whatever. I just really hope I don't get voted off tomorrow.
Kenneth
welp i bombed the where's waldo challenge and my team lost by a hair in the riddles challenge because of an advantage so rip. i really hope i don't get voted off first because i severely underperformed in the challenge akjdnsajkndkjsnd i'd be really disappointed in myself :/
Amy
Shocked. Absolutely shocked we aren't headed to tribal lol. And here I thought my 4 minutes on Waldo was too slow but it was enough. Honestly we are lucky Blue's quit disadvantage was only what it was bc they quit after 30 minutes apparently. All these advantages at play! And I'm sitting here with a disadvantage. I think I'm clearly doing the idol hunt wrong 😆 all I have is a disadvantage from poison feast food and a chipmunk named Wadsworth in my pocket. Based on how little anyone is speaking I was certain we'd be going to tribal hands down no question. So I am very, very happy we avoided it in the end. I think it would have been between Jessie and Josh though bc they aren't active. I would have voted Jessie bc Josh did the video even after saying he didn't actually want to do the creative part so that's major props to him in my book! I am very curious as to who the other tribe is going to vote off in the end. I hope it's no one I want to make it far. Oh basically I know I'm probably not making merge so I'm trying to align things to get certain people farther and get other people out. I'm rooting for a newbie to take it. Anyway woo day off and I won't be first boot. Fingers crossed it's not Ava. I wouldn't be surprised if she was targeted for her association with me. Love this game! Love this cast! Love the idol hunt! The reward challenge was the most fun bc Ava and I were incredibly intoxicated after Drag Bingo and we did better each time! The last one we went "office" and "turnip" and literally bust out laughing and both said "Nate". I would like to personally apologize to Ellie for having to witness that nonsense. Thank you to everyone! Oh one last thing. I did not want to work with jared at all but it looks like I am going to be forced to do so. I think I have to put trust in Jared and in Leanne who has voted me out of two games prior 😆 but that's me always just bonding most with the people who are active and want to talk to me.
Amy
There's 100% going to be a Canada alliance.
Aubree
Who won the first challenge?? MYSA DID! Woot woot! Even though Jared, Jessie and I didn’t win the Scavenger Hunt portion after the advantages were added in - we did win as far as how many total objects were found, so I’m pretty proud about that! To top it off Sarah and I won the Reward Challenge!!!! We both get 3 stat points to add to our Idol Hunt… which I have yet to do… I should probably do that tomorrow O_o
Avat
hings are going well i think!!! i've had a lot of fun and i sorta vibe with everyone so far on the tribe. i'm really hyped and fingers crossed we do well. i've been sorta inactive with my challenge bc of work but i'm doing what i can for now. more to come soon
DeNara
Well this is my first confessional of the game and oh my is this going to be an interesting game. Initial impressions of my tribe...... Sarah +Jodi- frenemies because they are so good at survivor Frank- I really like him. He seems like a cool dude Kenneth- Seems cool, I may want to work with him, but he seems to be playing harder than he should so early Brayden- Didn't get the best first impression, but that could change Shawn- Super quiet, then they started chatting so that helped Ava, J.G., Destiny- Really inactive so I don't really know- potential first vote I want to work with Sarah, Frank and maybe Kenneth. Jodi would be good to work with although who knows what she is thinking. Everyone else I will stay open to working with, but really don't care too much as of yet.
DeNara
The first challenge was weird because everyone just took their roles and stopped talking. I HATE QUIET. Period. The creative challenge on my tribe wasn't super creative imo, but they tried. I didn't help in the scavenger hunt as much as I wanted too so that sucks, but at least we won that part so that looks good. I am so excited for this idol hunt! It is amazing! Props to the hosts! WE LOST, DAMMIT. At least Derrick won't be the first boot. I hope I am not either or HE WILL NOT STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT IT AND I WILL DIE.
DeNara
Well it is chaos now. Shawn has made an alliance with Sarah, Kenneth, and myself. I like the safety of that. Jodi, Sarah and myself also made a Subrosa alliance (we all knew that would happen) and I feel like this will keep me safe for a while at least. Both Sarah and Jodi want to work with Brayden and potentially Kenneth so we may make an alliance of 5 with them- but that also means Sarah and I would have to talk to Kenneth about not telling Jodi about the other alliance and that could be very risky early on.... hmmm idk about that. Also, Frank is my dude. I hope he stays. I think I am going to lean towards J.G. or Destiny.
Sarah

Kenneth
I am now in 2 alliances: one with denara, sarah, and shawn, and another one with ava and brayden! i feel good about both alliances, with the first one feeling solid and loyal (for now), and the second one for the long term! i feel very solid about sarah and denara, i feel like i can last long with them as my good allies. jodi's a tricky one, because i know she's a damn good player, but it's better to keep her on my side for now until an opportune time to make a move (and i actually really like talking to her!).
Jared
me: i'm gonna try to make this concise also me: 8 minutes on the very first episode where i'm not even going to tribal oh boy
Brayden
https://youtu.be/reALs2hizjk hey everyone I'm here
DeNara
So now I am in a bunch of alliances. I guided Kenneth to make an alliance chat with Sarah and me to tell us to keep our alliances with 1. Shawn and 2. Brayden and Jodi a secret. Insert evil laugh here lol. So all together right now I should have Sarah, Jodi, Kenneth, Brayden, Shawn and Frank backing me, so I shouldn't be first boot. It sounds like we are going for Destiny because they aren't very active, which was the name Kenneth threw out first so he is getting what he wants without upsetting me.
Ava
so so so bummed about going to tribal i thought we had it in the bag especially with our advantages but alas... i formed an alliance with brayden and kenneth which i'm super obsessed with i really like both of them - hopefully this means safety for tomorrow. i hate working two jobs and the week after next ill be working just one which is just so fucking sweet fingers crossed i can make it that long in this game. anyway that's all for now
Jodi
I'm so happy to be back. This time, I promise to play a chill Jodi game as I said in my intro, and I want to relax and enjoy this twist of a season. Jared and I are thrilled to play our second season together in the actual format of BvW, and we will be playing our own games. So far, I'm glad to have Denara, Sarah, Brayden on my tribe, as we all know each other but never played before (except Brayden). I want to keep an open mind and play fluidly. Kenneth told Brayden within 10 mins of the game starting that he was scared of me, but I hope I can gain the trust of people and not play as flashy as people remember me for. Looking forward to the connections I make!
Jodi
I promised y'all a chill Jodi game and here i am, delivering it. I think. DeNara and Sarah immediately made the "The Best of SubRosa" chat because obviously that was bound to happen, but additionally, the 3 of us are in an alliance with Brayden and Kenneth called "the clock" (because of our time zones ahahahaha). This game's dynamic is so different because even though we hate going to tribal, it also means that our loved ones are safe from tribal, which sometimes, could be better. I hope Jared is doing good on the other side. Obviously I trust Sarah and DeNara but I also know Sarah will cut my throat when it needs to happen, even if she gonna be crying while doing it, so I'll just...not be blinded by that. I trust Brayden 100%, Kenneth calling me scary is not great but I guess he rather be with me than against me, for now. Y'all Ingary kids what did you say about me??? LMAOO ♥️ I did ask him why he didn't cause ruckus at 5 and whip out the superidol and he said "tunnel vision". Hey that's two of us I guess!
Sarah
https://youtu.be/RzlLHyHZguQJessie So I’m still working on making like connections and stuff but we won the first challenge so no tribal which is a very good thing . ❤️ I’m enjoying this interactive scavenger hunt and I’m totally not trying to pull a Danni from Midsommar lol.
Brayden
hey guys im in a 5 person alliance rn with jodi sarah denara and kenneth and i feel pretty good and excited bc i think ill win this whole game but sadly destiny is prob leaving tonight <\3
Derrick
First challenge done. We rocked it! I don't really have any sort of alliance at this point but I seem to be getting along with everyone. Josh didn't seem to put too much effort into our creative set up but it still worked out OK. It was unfortunate I was on my trip at the time as I could have done so much more with. I think as long as we support eachother we can rock every challenge that comes our way!joshIM SOO HAPPY WE WON! our tribe seems to be like friendly but i havent made any alliances i think so idk if im in a good spot if we lose a challenge but we didnt this time so🙃ShawnEveryone in the tribe is messaging about Destiny, and that is who everyone is thinking of voting off. I'm still thinking of voting Frank off, and I think that's who I'm going for. He's not good at technology, and this whole game is about technology! We lost the creative challenge because all we could do with him was write! Still, everyone thinks because Destiny isn't very active she should be the one to go. I'm not sure what I want to do. JGOh hey! Here we are round one. I feel so out of it playing this game. For the first time in a while, I barely know any of the other players. Which is refreshing and tough. I also feel like my social game is kind of lacking but that is kind of my brand for round 1. I have had some great one on one conversations with DeNara, Jodi, and Sarah. I've talked to Brayden and Kenneth as well a little bit less than the first three. Shawn and Ava, barely. Frank and Destiny not at all. The vote should be Destiny since we sadly lost. Which works for me. I feel the closest with DeNara and Sarah. Really hoping I can start to get my footing. If we were to lose again, Frank would probably go but I don't wanna put myself in the line of fire again. Well here's hoping things improve. Hopefully, I'm not blindsided. Here we go.blueMy tribe seems pretty cool so far, everyone is nice and seems pretty active so thats nice. Shawns going to tribal so I hope theyre gonna be safe :(((DeNara As far as I know, the vote is going to be Destiny. I feel bad for them for not getting the chance to play, and I feel really bad for Moth, they always have the worst luck in ORGs. That being said I sure hope nothing crazy happens tonight or I will cry 100% Tribal, here I come...AubreeThere is hardly any game talk (at least from where I’m standing), so I may start trying to get a feel of where people are at by asking some game-related questions in the tribe chat. Don’t get me wrong, I love the personal chit-chats… BUT I’m also feeling a bit empty-handed as far as knowing everyone’s game motives. Maybe I’m being too bold… idk. I’m not normally the one to standout in ORGs, so hopefully my tribe doesn’t take this as me prying… even though I guess I kinda am?? 😬 “Oof look at me being all dangerous and shit!” 😤🤘🏼😂blueSO here are more detailed thoughts on my tribe. Amy of course is a queen and a legend and we've played together before and have a good rapport. Leanne is so kind and so funny, and I would be super down for working with her. Jared is SO nice I get really good vibes and really enjoy talking to him. Aubree is also very nice and seems genuinely interested in my irrelevant stories 10/10 good vibes. Moth is dope as expected and turns out we have a lot of the same interests ie. witcher and the mcelroys very fun. The rest are yet to be determined.AmyI would like to start out by saying that Brayden's video during their tribal almost made me seasick thanks buddy. So today was a DAY. It was a day off and like I had a weird day at work lol 😆 and then I remembered there was the task of talking to people who h i slacked on today whoops sorry. But for half these people idk if they even noticed bc my tribe is so quiet. Did I already say I tried asking Jessie what their favorite berry was? Like that's how exhausting conversation has been most all around. I think I'm talking to Leanne, Derrick, and Jared the most. I am begging for bygones to be bygones. But anyway I was trying to do a little of the hunt throughout the day bc after seeing
all those advantages last go I was SHOCKED. Then at the end of work I made it to thevpart where I was talking to the grumpy sad flower crown man and after falling on my weak ass on a ladder I picked the lock with a bobbypin and charisma's him to make me a flower crown which got me to the maypole which had me do a scavenger hunt and I got an idol. Writing this all out is absolutely hilarious. But yeah I have an idolllllllllllllllllllll which I don't want to use anytime soon. But I have a feeling I'm going to struggle to make merge. Anyway I got this idol like directly after the other tribe finishing tribal and I love a funny timing like that. I'm glad Ava survived weee! And wow they have some very vocal tribe members haha I'm sure Denara and Jodi are working together which tracks bc I've been closest to both of them individually in prior games early on. Curious if it will stick. So next was rock paper scissors for which I have a 10% disadvantage which apparently applies to the overall tribe score ☠️ . I won my game against Brayden who was at seemingly a raging Big Brother watch party. Sorry buddy. But we've been chatting like he asked how josh was and I said Josh is great and really stepped up to the plate for the creative challenge even though it wasn't what he wanted and also he loves tom holland so I instantly trust him. Then he said everyone likes ava bc she's just so cool and yes I get it I am personally intimidated by how cool Ava is and I have to be around that cool level every day honestly I don't know why she talks to me but she's a badass. Anyyywayyyy he doesn't seem keen on actually talking game and I need to figure out if I need to just tell my tribe I have a disadvantage rn or be like what the fuck the other tribe is so mean to give me a disadvantage 😭 Anyway excited to explore the hunt some more and this game is so fun. If we go to tribal I think Jessie is most at risk tbh. Okay that's all bye ❤️

smornby? prompt (also hi, this is the same person as last time but i was asked by my friend holly to ask for this angsty prompt, still no pressure if u don't wanna do it tho & thanks) : "Person A self harms and is good at hiding it, until one day it's hot and person B takes A's jacket away in a really public place so their scars are on display. A doesn't want to deter B from being friends so tries (unsuccessfully) to convince them the cat did it. You decide what happens next."
Hey I did it! Sorry for the wait but a certain other ship just won’t stop being adorable long enough for me to focus on other things sometimes. But as I say, I will always get around to every prompt I get it just may take me a little while! Hope your friend Holly likes this :)
Side note: I may also have a lil Lewis/Tom idea for this too that I may write if people are interested or if I find time. It is obvious what this is in the fic so yeah just pop me an ask if anyone is interested on seeing a Tom side to this. 
Let’s go to the beach. 
Smith wasn’t proud of a lot of things in his life. He didn’t like how easily he let his grades slip when his mind couldn’t focus. He didn’t like how much he talked and how often everything he said was complete nonsense. He didn’t like how useless he was. But most of all he hated how weak he was. He hated how he could no longer look at his arms without feeling ashamed, that he could no longer wear a t-shirt without a hoodie to cover his scars. The scars that littered his left arm from all of the times that he was weak. All of the times he caved and took a blade to his skin instead of just asking for help. But Smith knew he couldn’t actually ask for help, he didn’t want to be a burden. Not when his friends had their own problems.
Trott was dealing with his girlfriend Katie moving away after dating for close to 3 years while still trying to make it work.
His boyfriend, Ross, was dealing with his parents being in the middle of a messy divorce, their stress seeping into their son.
Lewis was panicking over his grades, concerned that he wasn’t going to get accepted into his dream university at the end of the year.
And Tom, well to everyone else he seemed to be the only one without any problems but Smith was his next door neighbour and so he knew better. He heard the yells from the house late at night and noticed how Tom never once talked about his family.
Sadly neither boy was very adept at asking for or accepting/offering help and after one awkward confrontation both boys had agreed that nothing else would be said about the matter, the only positive thing to come from it was their unspoken agreement that Tom could crash with Smith any night no questions asked.
No questions asked. Smith hated himself for agreeing to that. He just had to sit their as one of his closest friends suffered in silence. Unable to say or do anything because he was too weak.
Smith looked down as the blood ran across his arm and dripped onto the tissues in his lap. His breathing slowed as he watched each drop of blood fall, for a few short moments all emotions and thoughts left his mind. The pain of the cut being all he could focus on until his mind was drawn back to the present by the sound of his phone. Using his uninjured arm, Smith picked up his phone and saw the group chat he had with his friends was quickly gaining messages.
Trott: It is insanely hot! I think i’m actually melting
Ross: I’ll say mate! I’m dying here.
Tom: Meh I don’t feel it.
Lewis: That is because you aren’t human. I fucking bet you are even wearing your beanie right now.
Ross: Omg you are aren’t you Tom!
Trott: Tom….
Tom: It is a comfy hat
Trott: You really aren’t human.
Ross: Tom is a robot confirmed
Lewis: Like that is new information
Tom: It isn’t like I am trying to hide it at all
Trott: So what is it like dating a robot Lewis?
Ross: Must be interesting aye Lewis
Lewis: Oh you guys have no idea. Robots can do things with their bodies that humans can not.
Trott: wow very subtle Lewis.
Tom: The sex is very good
Trott: FUCKING HELL TOM
Ross: TOM
Trott: TOO MUCH INFORMATION
Ross: I REALLY DIDN’T NEED TO HEAR THAT
Trott: YOU ARE WORSE THAN SMITH
Trott: I DIDN’T EVEN THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE
Tom: Why don’t you guys go to the beach or something to solve your heat problem
Lewis: YES BEACH DAY
Trott: BEACH DAY
Ross: BEACH DAY
Lewis: Pack up your shit boys. I’ll start to pick you all up in 20 minutes.
Tom: All of us?
Trott: Awesome!
Ross: Sweet!
Trott: Yes Tom, all of us.
Ross: Including Smith. Even if we end up dragging him out of his house.
Tom: I’m not really a beach person guys
Lewis: Welp shouldn’t of suggested the beach then :)
Trott: We should probably get Smith’s attention before just showing up at his place.
Trott: Also yeah Tom, this is all your fault :)
Ross: :)
Ross: SMITH
Ross: SMITH COME TO BEACH SMITH.
Smith sighed as he read over the messages, including the new ones coming through. There was no way the others would let him ditch.
Smith: Yeah I’ll come. But i’m not swimming.
Ross: Perfect!!!!!!!!! I’m sure I can get you to change your mind about the swimming thing ;)
Trott: I need new friends
Lewis: Get ready guys! I’ll see you all soon.
Tom: Smith I’ll be over in 10, k?
Smith: sure thing. See you all soon
Trott: Cya guys
Ross: Can’t wait. :)
Smith put his phone down and quickly began to bandage the fresh cut on his arm. Happy with his work, Smith slipped a plaid shirt on to cover his arms and his favourite hoodie for extra protection.
Tom kept to his word and showed up on Smith’s doorstep after exactly 10 minutes. The two boys elected to sit on the front step as they waited for their friends to show up.
“To think, the other’s think I am inhuman for wearing a beanie in this weather. Wait till they get a look at you.”
Smith forced laughed at Tom’s words.
“Think I am a bit sick or something mate, feel cold as fuck.”
Tom looked at Smith skeptically, but said nothing.
They spent the rest of their time waiting in silence, both boys thinking about what they had experienced a mere half hour ago. Smith subconsciously tapping at the fresh wound on his arm, and Tom rubbing the fresh bruise on his hip.
It wasn’t long before Lewis’ car pulled up with Trott and Ross in the back. Both boys got up and made their way into the car, Tom going up front and Smith sitting in the back.
“Let’s go to the beach!”
******
“Come on Smith, just take that bloody hoodie off! You are cooking! I can see the sweat on your face!”
Smith wiped his forehead free of sweat.
“What sweat?”
Ross sighed.
“Stubborn bastard.”
Ross mumbled as he laid back down on the towel beside Smith.
They had made it to the beach just over half an hour ago and while Ross had failed in convincing Smith into swimming, Lewis had somehow managed to not only convince Tom to swim, but also take off his beanie much to the shock of everyone.
So Trott, Lewis and Tom were all off swimming in the ocean as Smith and Ross stayed on shore. Ross wanting to spend some time with his boyfriend.
Ross shifted so he was on his side facing Smith, the boy frowning at the sight before him. Smith had his eyes closed and a frown on his face. Sweat poured down his face, he was obviously boiling in that stupid hoodie of his. God his boyfriend was so stubborn sometimes.
Enough was enough. Ross reached forward and grabbed the edge of Smith’s hoodie.
“Ross, what are you….?”
“I’m taking that damn hoodie off of you before you get heat stroke!”
A tussle ensued, the boys rolling off of their towels onto the sand until Ross got the upper hand and managed to pull the hoodie off of Smith arm’s, revealing the long sleeved plaid shirt underneath.
“Unbelieveable! No wonder you are sweating so much!”
Making sure he continued to have the upper hand, Ross pushed Smith fully onto his back and sat on his lap.
Ross reached out, trying to grab the plaid shirt and instead manage to grab Smith’s arm as well. Smith hissed out in pain, quickly retracting his arm from Ross.
“Smith…??”
“It’s nothing. Cat just got me. Nothing to worry about.”
Ross looked down at Smith, concern lacing his face as Smith avoided eye contact. Ross reached out for Smith’s arm again. The boy beneath him tried to struggle, but Ross had him pinned and easily managed to get ahold of his arm. Giving up, Smith looked away as he felt Ross roll back his sleeve and winced at the gasp that soon followed.
“Smith…. Why?.. How…. how long?”
Smith stayed silent, even after he felt Ross’ tears fall onto his own face.
“Smith.”
Taking advantage of Ross being distracted, Smith pushed his boyfriend with all of his strength. Ross easily fell off of Smith and the boy quickly got up and ran away.
“SMITH!”
He ignored Ross’ calls and just ran across the beach.
He continued to run across the sand, until his legs gave out and he fell face first onto the soft ground. Pushing himself into a sitting position, Smith couldn’t help the tears that started to flow down his face. He sat their crying for a few minutes before his noticed someone sit beside him and felt them place an arm around his shoulder.  
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
Smith heard Ross sigh at his words.
“That is fine for now, but we will have to talk about it Smith. At some point.”
“I know.”
Smith leaned into Ross’ touch and rested his head in the crook of his neck.
“I’m sorry i’m such a mess.”
Ross tightened his hold on Smith.
“Hey no. Don’t apologize. You have nothing to be sorry for. I’m the one who should be sorry. I should’ve noticed you were hurting, that you needed help.”
“You have more important things going on Ross.”
“Nothing is more important than you Smith.”
