Everything That's Hidden Beyond the Mist

Chapter 2: Do You Still Want Me to Get Out?

Summary: Jude has to face Cardan after he catches her masturbating. She is assaulted with a number of emotions mainly anger, shame, and lust at being discovered. Cardan explains why he came to her room.

Read to find out why he stays

Rating: m for mature and multiple chapters

chapter 1

AN: this is a prequel to Worthy of a Queen but you don't need to read that to enjoy this.

He just stands there staring, mouth hung open as he clasps and unclasps his hands before him as though looking for something to say.

“Get. OUT!” Jude hears her voice break as she shouts. She is drowning in shame because of course, Cardan had caught her like this. Her former nemesis just found her masturbating and moaning his name, and now he gets to watch her, with tears in her eyes, as she shouts at him in embarrassment. Jude wants to curl up in a ball and never speak to anyone ever again. She is horrified and worse than that he looks horrified.

Jude had been planning on lying to herself about all of this once she had finished. She was planning on going about her routine of acting as though she had never thought of Cardan in that way. Pretend that she would never touch herself at the thought of him, something she actually does quite often. She was going to go back to acting like she hated him. But now she can't do that. Now, she has to face the truth that she does fantasize about him… a lot.

Worst of all she also has to face the horrifying reality of him knowing she does just that… since he caught her doing it.

“Jude… “ he says carefully.

“OUT!” her voice sounds shrill. She feels out of control.

“I can see you’re very upset but-”

Jude grabs her pillow and throws it at him, he catches it easily, face clearly annoyed.

“OKAY! Let’s skip the part where you throw a tantrum because you’re embarrassed, alright,” his chest is heaving as his midnight eyes bare down at her. “Look I know it’s upsett---”

“You know nothing!” Jude spits, she has another pillow in her hand, anger easily consuming her rather than embarrassment.

“Let. Me. Finish.” His black eyes continue to stare her down, his patience running thin. Jude hates her wretched life.

“I know it’s upsetting but---” he tries to continue.

“UGHHHHHHH” Jude snarls and throws her other pillow at him. Which she immediately regrets because she is proving his point about her throwing a tantrum.

The pillow hits his face and falls to the floor. He blinks and his face twitches from barely controlled rage. She stays quiet now. She feels her hair get static as electricity crackles the air of her room. His kingly powers affecting the environment. She carefully watches him take a deep breath, then another, trying to reel in his temper. His hands clasp together in front of him, knuckles white from how tight his grip is.

“Jude--” he says, his voice an arctic breeze, “I know your upset. But---- I WANT TO BED YOU-- so if you would PLEASE-- get over your embarrassment, so we can get back to you MOANING MY NAME... PLEASE,” Cardan’s eyes are closed as he speaks, he grinds his teeth together. He went back and forth between shouting this at her and trying to talk in a soothing manner. She heard a bit of desperation in his tone as he spoke. He was clearly trying to be calm and failing miserably.

It was Jude’s turn to stare and grasp for something to say. She blurts the first thing that comes to mind, “Why are you even in my room!”

Her shock at his words sprung her from her stupor enough to think beyond her mortification and the rage she felt to cover up said feeling. Now she felt rage at being interrupted, she felt rage at him invading her privacy.

“So you’re clearly not over it yet... shall I wait, or do you want me to leave you here horny and ashamed,” Cardan smirks at her now, trying to goad her; he is trying to avoid answering why he was in her room. Jude can tell, she knows that smirk is from nerves.

“CARDAN” she snarls at him, her senses coming back to her. He shouldn’t have been able to catch her in such a position. Who was he to barge into her private chambers?

That same lustful voice from her fantasy reared its head and murmured he’s the high king, he can do whatever he pleases, let him please you, you both want it.

Blush rushes to Jude’s cheeks as his words from earlier finally sink in, ‘I want to bed you,’ Cardan had practically shouted it at her. She feels the ounce of control she just mustered slip back out of her reach.

“I think I preferred it when you moaned my name,” he says trying to suppress a snicker.

Jude buries her burning face into her sheets and groans in frustration.

“This is the worst dayyyyyyy,” her words were barely audible through the comforter. Jude hates this feeling. She almost never lets her guard down, and less often than that does anyone force her into a position where she is at a loss for it. Now Cardan has her trapped like a mouse completely out of her comfort zone. He isn’t going to let this go.

“This is a marvelous day,” he says with a laugh as he walked further into her bedroom. “Here I thought you had no interest in me whatsoever but there you were mastr-”

“I was NOT,” her wounded pride lashing out again.

He bursts into laughter at that, hugging his side.

“You little liar,” he mocks with a shake of his head and a tisk of his teeth, “and quite the actress too, I would have never known that you craved me that way.”

It was not common for fairies to use that word. Never. It was too absolute for their truthful tongues to use. Cardan must be having a field day right now after realizing that Jude fantasizes about him in secret after having believed she never thought of him like that.

“Why are you in my room Cardan. Why didn’t you KNOCK!”

He may wear the blood crown but Jude is the one who holds all the power between them. She is the one who rules the folk, she is the one with command over him. Jude rallies herself once more and braves her fiercest sneer “do I need to command the answer out of you?”

His eyes widen in worry at that and he clears his throat. He begins to walk about the room, taking in her messy chambers while trying to appear unbothered. He is skimming through the titles of her bookshelf when he finally replies.

“I did....” he drawls.

“You did what, exactly,” she asks, allowing all of her anger to shine through.

“I knocked.”

“I don’t remember hearing you knock, was it the faintest one you could manage?”

He smirks at her then, but it wasn't one from nerves, his smirk was dripping with arrogancy, “truthfully I banged on your door a few times and made a point to not be quiet about it… But I supposed you couldn’t hear it over all that moaning. You were quite loud.”

Jude flushes, she had been very close when he interrupted her. She knew she had been moaning but she didn’t think it was enough to gain attention. She had been so focused on the image of him naked before her… hands reaching out to touch her, all of the folk knowing that it was Jude that he wanted above all others. He had even stopped the whole revel in order to make her more comfortable…

A flush returned to her cheeks as her stomach did summersaults at the memories of her fantasy. She knows her face is burning as he stares at her with that cocky smirk on his face. She knows why he is so full of himself. It’s because he knows she was moaning because of him-- for him. Loud enough that she couldn’t even hear him banging on her door. He knows. And he loves it.

The shame and embarrassment came rushing back to her but Jude refuses to falter again. His smugness making her see red.

“AND?! So you decided to barge in and snoop on me while I was clearly having a private moment. What is wrong with you,” She let herself be furious. Shame and anger coat her every word. She sees fear spring into his eyes; good she thinks. He should fear her.

“No--- I--You--- You were whimpering!! I--” he groans and rubs the base of his palms into his eyes, accidentally messing up his cosmetics. He tries again rubbing the back of his neck.

“I was scared you were moaning out of pain. I was worried about you” he turns to face her with a serious look that seldom crosses his face, “You were alone in your chambers moaning and whimpering. I didn’t know if someone had come to assassinate you and left you bleeding out on the floor,” his words came out in a rush as he tried to correct her of his intentions, his pointed ears turning pink. He seemed embarrassed.

“I just don’t know what I would do without you, Jude--- I mean what the kingdom would do without you. And then well… then I was in your room and--- and you were pleasing yourself…” his cheeks pinken and he averted his eyes. He was embarrassed that he interrupted her. He was embarrassed that he had been so wrong, “I realized my mistake so I went to leave but… but then you moaned out my name...”

Cardan’s eyes glazed over as he trailed off, mind going back to the way his name spilled out of her lips, needy--- whiny even. He had never heard Jude sound like that before. She wasn’t one to whine, she wasn’t a desperate person. She had worked and fought for everything she had. If Jude wanted something, she simply got it, she didn’t whine about it. So when he heard her he naturally assumed the worst but… then he saw her and she was more than fine. Jude’s not a whiny person and yet… there she was… whining… for him. She was whining because she wanted him.

Oh, stars above indeed. Cardan couldn’t think about anything but the way his name sounded from her lips or how she had whimpered from want. The only thing on his mind was how he desperately needed to get her to make those sounds again, and how he needed to be the one to make her do it.

He felt the blood rushing to his groin, could feel his pulse racing, knew that these specific pants would do little to hide his arousal and would probably make it more evident than most pants he owned. He couldn’t bring himself to care as he gazed at her now, with her plump lips hanging open in shock like that... with a blush on her cheeks and breasts… with her hair a mess and clothes astray and the delicious smell of her wet folds--

Heavens above he was a wreck because of her right now.

Jude finally understood the horrified look on his face from earlier. Her anger fizzled out of her. He had been worried that she was in pain and then horrified that he intruded on her while she was doing something private. Jude would have been mortified too if she had done the same thing. She was mortified that her moans sounded like she was in pain.

They just stared at each other now both chests heaving.

“Well?” he said, at last, one of his brows quirking upward.

“Well, what?” Jude breathed back. She had no idea what to do in this situation.

A smirk tugged the corner of his lips again. His eyes had softened from annoyance to something dark and hungry. She watched him regain his composure as he realized she wasn’t consumed by anger anymore. She watched his confidence grow with every step he took towards her bed. She swallowed hard when she noted the size of his bulge showing proudly through his pants, pushing against the fabric that kept it restricted. almost nothing was left to her imagination. The sight of him walking towards her like this was better than anything she could have fantasied about.

Her eyes shot up when he cleared his throat, he was right in front of her now standing beside her bed. His head was bent down watching her while she had just been blatantly staring at his bulge. The same self-obsessed smirk on his lips. He knew he was gorgeous; it was hot in her fantasies but in reality....

Ughhh! it was still hot but it pissed her off for some reason. She looked into his eyes and realized it was his arrogance that pissed her off. Confidence was one thing but arrogance was annoying. She let that thought simmer in her mind as she made a face at him to show just how unimpressed she was. To show him he wasn't anything special.

He smiled endearingly at her annoyance as if he found it cute. Jude was about to give him a piece of her mind when his long slender fingers reach down and grabbed her hand. He brought her fingers up towards his face, right to his full lips and into his mouth. It was the hand she had just been using to please herself with, still coated in her fluid. Jude watched with her mouth hung open, her ears ringing and her cheeks burning as a small groan rumbled from his throat as he sucked her fingers clean. She felt like she had in her fantasy, unable to look away, gaze glued to his mouthwatering lips, to his devastating face as his black eyes stare right through her. Jude’s heart pounded; the lust raging and swirling in her belly was a living thing. All thoughts had left her head but him.

He finally pulled her fingers from his mouth and whispered to her.

“Do you still want me to get out?”

ITP: an incomplete but lovingly assembled list of people who have it out for my kid

hi anon, thank you!!

and omg. I... don’t know, lol. like, I’ve thought about it before, but I always just ended up going “???”. there just doesn’t seem to be anyone tailor-made for him, and it’s honestly weird. shounen tropes have taught me that these things are always foreshadowed in advance. so where is it? WHERE IS THE FORESHADOWING, WHERE ARE MY TROPES. he literally got kidnapped by a whole troupe of them and not a one made any real effort to click. that was like the villain equivalent of The Bachelor and it still didn’t get us anywhere omg.

anyways, since I’m undecided, I’ve taken the liberty of listing and rating all of the Possible Bakugou Antagonists I could think of on a scale of 1 to 10, and I’m not gonna pretend like I didn’t enjoy every second of it, either.

Spinner - 1/10

no offense Spinner. you’re a great guy. but we just didn’t connect. you have absolutely nothing in common. those sparks just aren’t flying. I’m sorry. you’ll find someone someday I know it just keep being true to yourself.

Stain - 1/10

gtfo.

Mr. Compress - 2.5/10

I have no idea who Mr. Compress will end up battling, but it won’t be Bakugou. how do I know this? I just know.

Dabi - 3/10

honestly, Dabi kind of has chemistry with everyone. so it’s a shame he’s already spoken for. by three other people, no less. between Endeavor, Shouto, and Hawks, he’s really got his hands full already. it really is a pity because he was the one who actually kidnapped Bakugou, like grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him through the portal and everything. but he has beef with too many other people to make room in his fridge for even more. sorry Bakugou.

someone from the Liberation Army - 3.5/10

they had better not! he deserves someone more interesting! but, the one thing they do have going for them is their fierce commitment to the whole QUIRKS ARE SUPERIOR!! ideology, because I do have to admit, there’s a part of me that does like the idea of Reformed Shithead Bakugou Katsuki taking a stand against some prejudiced dickbags. so yeah. but also, no.

Twice - 4/10

honestly this rating is too high. there’s no chemistry here either. but on the other hand, Twice is basically the Kirishima of villains, and I just really enjoy the concept of him antagonizing Bakugou lol. plus he does have the whole Satisfying Cannon Fodder thing going for him too on account of he can clone himself x infinity and just attack Baku in waves only to get repeatedly blown up. this does win him extra points, because I feel like one of the important criteria for a Bakugou Antagonist is the ability to actually put up not just a good fight, but an entertaining one, and that’s pretty difficult against a quirk like Kacchan’s. so yeah. this honestly won’t happen but if it did I would be down for it.

Gigantomachia - 4.5/10

on the one hand, Machia is insanely powerful and definitely a worthy antagonist. but on the other hand he has no personality whatsoever aside from LOYAL TO AFO!!! so yeah, he gets mad points for being a challenge, but I can’t see him having staying power.

okay so now we’re done with the ones who really have no chance, and on to the ones who genuinely could really pull it off. starting with...

Toga - 6/10

okay so Toga is pretty much a lockdown for being Ochako’s main villain honestly. but I’m gonna give her a decent score anyway, for three reasons:

(1) I love her.

(2) Bakugou is thus far the only male character in the series who’s actually had a real fight against a female character, and not pulled any punches. yeah boy!! he’s a feminist! so I would kind of love to see this even though Horikoshi probably won’t. boo.

and last but not least, (3) THE MIND GAMES. omg. who wouldn’t love to see Toga transform herself into Deku or Kirishima or BEST JEANIST NOOOO or Camie or whoever else you can think of that might fuck with Bakugou’s head. yesssss. god I love Toga so much.

anyways!

Hagakure the U.A. traitor - 7/10

see above re: mind games. you’ll notice that the top tier of this list consists solely of villains who (with the exception of Tomura) all have the whole Now It’s Personal thing going for them. this is especially important because there is no clear-cut candidate to be Bakugou’s antagonist yet. so if he’s going to get one, they’re gonna have to get cracking on that bad blood between them so he can get his vengeance on. anyways the traitor will probably wind up being someone else’s main villain in the end, but they still get a high score because they would do an excellent job if they did end up being Bakugou’s villain.

Hawks - 7.5/10

on the one hand, not an actual villain. but on the other hand, YOU KILLED MY MASTER angst for daaaaaaaays omg. holy shit. Hawks what kind of hole have you dug yourself into?? you probably think you’re so slick you can just fly out of any and all metaphorical holes. BUT NOT IF THE HOLES BLOW YOU UP, HAWKS. anyways yeah. I don’t think Hawks will be a final villain, but as things currently stand there is a very high likelihood of there being at least some temporary antagonism between them, and my verdict is: bring it.

Shigaraki Tomura - 8/10*

the * is there because this score is contingent on Deku and Bakugou facing off against Tomura together. as it is, Tomura’s been built up to be Deku’s antagonist, so he’s not going to go after Bakugou instead unless Gang Green is also there. even though Tomura did engineer Bakugou’s kidnapping and all but single-handedly launched his character development into orbit, so there is history there! but yeah, I just can’t see it happening unless they double team him. that being said, the odds of that are actually pretty good IMO, hence the high score.

All For One - 8.5/10*

same deal as Tomura! but he gets a higher score on account of him actually being the final villain. so if you, like me, believe that the series is building up to Deku and Bakugou working together to become The Greatest Heroes as a team, then you have to assume that this battle is inevitable. unless you’re all-in on Tomura being the final villain instead, in which case see the previous entry.

confession time: I’ve had this plot bunny?/headcanon?/?? thing in my head for the longest time in which the League launches a huge attack on U.A. near the end of the series, and either AFO or Tomura goes after All Might and almost finishes him off, but then Bakugou steps in before they can finish the job, and proceeds to take them on solo. and he puts up an insanely good fight, but loses in the end (because he’s still just a kid! HIS TRAINING IS NOT COMPLETE) and nearly dies and/or has his quirk stolen, but then Deku and/or the others show up, and the villains leave (for some reason. shh). it’s my self-indulgent hurt/comfort as-a-result-of-being-a-self-sacrificing-badass fantasy. anyways then he probably passes out in All Might’s arms or something because I love me some Dad Might angst also. the thing is, if Bakugou ever finds out about Nighteye’s prophecy, there’s a good chance he’ll react even worse than Deku, because it already almost came true, and it would have been his fault. All Might actually went into the Kamino battle thinking that was the end for him, even. willingly ready to give up his own life to save this kid. can you imagine if Kacchan ever learns that. anyways so yeah the idea of him taking a potentially fatal blow for All Might in order to stop the prophecy coming true is something that’s stuck with me for a while now. and it has just about nothing to do with Final Villains, but I just thought I’d throw that out there because that’s one way to establish some Now It’s Personal hella beef between two characters for sure. having one of them nearly kill the other while targeting his mentor lol. anyways I went off on a real tangent, my bad.

so now, drum roll please! last but not least, we have...

Ujiko - 9/10

you guys. like 3/4 of the way through this post I suddenly went “!!!!” and remembered, OH YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THAT GUY WHO FUCKING TORTURED AND KILLED BAKUGOU’S CHILDHOOD FRIEND, THOUGH. holy shit. I forgot all about him. and also, what the hell, what is this thing all of a sudden where people whom Bakugou is secretly fond of keep getting secretly murdered by villains and he doesn’t know about it omg. like, why is that an actual trend. between all that and the prophecy, it’s like Horikoshi is actually just hoarding this huge pile of Things That Bakugou Doesn’t Know About Yet That Will Absolutely Fuck Up His Day When He Finds Out. like, I picture him stacking up a bunch of heavy boxes just behind a doorway and then waiting for Bakugou to step into the room so he can push the boxes over and they all fall on him and probably kill him fuuuuuuck.

anyways, but yeah. Ujiko, though. I really do think he’s got the best chance of becoming the main villain for Bakugou now that I think about it. all of the criteria are there.

(1) Satisfying Cannon Fodder - you get a Noumu! EVERY! BODY! GETS! NOUMUUUUUUUS fff but yeah. if you want bad guys for Bakugou to fight that he can blow up without feeling guilty, Ujiko’s your guy. -- though on the other hand, maybe he will feel guilty if and when he learns what the Noumus actually are. oh my god. which brings me to point two!

(2) ANGST FOR DAYYYYYYYS - hey guys, so everyone knows about this fun little thing, right?

okay so the short version is this: in a volume 7 omake, Horikoshi strongly implied that the winged Noumu who kidnapped Deku and was subsequently killed by Stain during the Hero Killer arc is -- or was -- Katsuki and Deku’s childhood friend Tsubasa. so right away, that’s fucked up. and it gets worse! because Horikoshi went on to include yet another hint tucked away in a corner of the first databook, confirming that Tsubasa was actually the grandson of that doctor in chapter one who diagnosed Deku as quirkless. the same doctor who is 99.9% confirmed to actually be AFO’s personal physician and the architect of the Noumus.

so yeah. this man took his own grandson and turned him into a lab experiment who was later murdered by another villain. and oh yes, that murder just so happened to caught on tape and subsequently went viral. holy shit.

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this shoe to finally drop, guys, and I’ll continue to be patient. but holy shit, though. anyways, so yeah. if/when Kacchan and Deku learn about this, I can’t even imagine how they’ll react. but it’s safe to say that Ujiko has the Now It’s Personal factor more than covered. if Katsuki is going to go on a roaring rampage of revenge toward anyone, it’s this motherfucker right here.

and last but not least, (3) Ujiko is kind of at this perfect tier of almost-but-not-quite final villain level. like, he’s the guy behind the scenes. not on the same level as AFO, but there have definitely been hints that he’s pulling Tomura’s strings more than Tomura realizes. he seems to be AFO’s right hand man, honestly. so yeah, huge plot importance here, and definitely worthy of being a foil to the series’s deuteragonist. I can definitely see it happening.

so that’s it! I’m sure I’ve missed some people, but I think I got the big ones. anyways, this has been your friendly reminder that the Noumu are going to fuck everyone’s shit up, and there are tidal waves of angst on the horizon that we honestly might not survive. good thing we have a budding hero to root for who always wins no matter what. godspeed, kid.

Hey guys!

At request, all Quill x G*m*ra hate will be tagged #quillgamora hate

Making this post because

#1 and most importantly, an apology: since it’s not my blog’s wheelhouse and I’ve never really seen posts about it coming within the same ballpark as me, I seriously genuinely did not think anyone who followed me shipped them passionately enough to be upset by my rude posts, but I should have really thought before making comments (however jokingly T_T) about the ship. That was kinda lame of me, and if anyone else had made posts like that about my favorite ships, I would be furious... damn... so I’m super sorry! I’m very unlikely to do it again but if I do, you has the tag above ^

and #2, a clarification: I actually do like the ship lmfao believe it or not. Like, I joked yesterday about it being “toxic” but most of the time, I really love the sincerity of their relationship and how they respond to each other, I think it’s cute. (do I like Thor more than Quill? yes. but I don’t actually think Quill is so bad for Gamora, I was really 85% joking hahaha.) AND THIS ISN’T TO OVERRIDE MY APOLOGY, I’m still sorry because even joking can definitely get out of hand, which I think it did. This is just to clarify my thoughts on them because I think maybe I sounded more serious about hating this ship than I actually am lmao (in other words, I like ppl’s perception of me to match the true me as much as possible lmfao and the true me gets weak-kneed when Gamora and Quill dance in GotG 2)

Anyway that’s all, have a happyyyy dayyyyyyy

#quillgamora hate #it's not but it's an apology #lox talks personal

Ep. 13 - “So its been a dayyyyyyy Jayyyyyyy” - Jack

Timmy

How in the fuck am I still here?!?! I'm overjoyed and this is incredible. Tbh Jack totally just fucked his game but this is so good for me, even if I get out at 6, I still made it a little further than I thought I would've. Also, Raffy really popped the fuck off and it was so funny to watch. I'm just in a really good mood right now.

Maynor

I cant believe idol play was amazing but it wasnt needed. Sjdbsb it was 4-3 for Jack to go is crazy. And im so happy that Timmy stayed in the game. I dont want to play the game without him. So im super happy that he’s still in. We need to win this immunity and keep it away from zoe and Raffy. We need those options open. And also try n keep the idol away from them.

Raffy

Last night was a wild trip. Firstly, I cannot believe Ellie would betray us like that when Maynor is still in this fucking game. No one, except me, seems to think that he's going to win if we keep letting him have control of the game. It's as if I am in a game with a bunch of sheep where I am the only free thinker. This applies to Jack too since he voted out Ellie instead of Timmy in the revote. Like imagine keeping Timmy in this game when he has done so much!!! Like we just keep letting them get away with things and we just keep letting them have control of the game. I'm sick of it!!! I can only trust Zoe now since apparently everyone else is too brain dead to see the obvious threats in this game. I pretended to be fake mad to Jack in order to keep him on our side. I told him that my aggression was a ploy to make them think that he's on their side. I mean I was real mad, but he doesn't need to know that. I don't know whether the lie worked or not, but I just need to find an idol or win immunity because I am sick of Maynor and Timmy being like cockroaches in the nuclear fallout. Like??????? And don't get me started on the goat Joseph who doesn't even know how to talk to people properly. All of them can go fuck off for all I care.

Raffy

Well I didn't find the idol, and I know that Jack is on the other path with that BS rotating puzzle. So, tomorrow I'll be doing the tundra and hopefully find it before anyone else, otherwise my time in this game is running out. I don't know how well I will do with the immunity challenge, but I have to be confident to do well. I'm praying that Zoe found something because we desperately need it if onyl to prevent Maynor from having it.

Raffy

Also this is the mood for the rest of the game for John and Ellie and maybe Zoe if she doesn't make it to FTC with me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0U_Cdrbols

Timmy

Raffy is so fucking smug. He laughed whenever someone messed up in the challenge and basically almost cackled when Maynor and I got it. Like don’t fucking kick me when I’m down. 6th is my Achilles heel and I’m already freaking out.

Jack

So its been a dayyyyyyy Jayyyyyyy. First Zoe comes in here like, "hey my idol still works" so my and raffy and zoe are like okayyyy we have to freaking one of us get immunity so its at least 2/3 and then zoe wins, and then moments later i finished the HELL PUZZLE WITH THE POINTY IDENTICAL LOOKING PIECES AND BACKGROUND and whoops i found the idol, so theoretically the three of us are like 3/3 safe and can vote out maynor. He's a sweet guy but like yeet. Raffy might be in trouble if zoe like wigs out and doesnt use the idol on him/ was like totally bullshitting about it? but i hope she aint cause yeah

Raffy

I'm glad that Zoe won the immunity challenge because it keeps safety away from both Maynor and Timmy. I wanted to win it, but I am proud that Zoe was able to either way. Her idol will be extremely useful going into this next round as we are planning to use it on me in order to make sure that 2/3 of us are safe tonight. Additionally, if the votes ends up tying 3-3, we can make sure that Jack is safe by revoting and keeping him in this game. Although, I doubt it has to come to that because Jack has also found an idol from the rehidden hunt. This means that all three of us will be safe going into this next tribal council unless they have an idol nullifier. Even then they still can only nullify one which means we're still the dominating force. Basically all is looking on the bright side for Raffy in this vote, and I hope things go smoothly in spite of my confidence.

Jack

I don't remember if I already made a confessional on this, but i found an idol, so now Zoe has immunity, she's gonna play her idol on Raffy, and imma play mine on me. Timmy's been hitting me and Zoe up about flipping on Raffy but we ain't doin thatttttt. Also Joseph was like "what happened in the challenge," and then was like what you thinkinnnnnnn. Maynor in general is like kinda accepted fate vibes. Hopefully everything goes well tonight.

Timmy

I’m distraught and upset. I guess it’s pretty much guaranteed that either myself or Maynor will be leaving tomorrow. I’m so sad and he deserves to stay so much and deserves to win and if he stays, I will not regret anything I did in this game. I want him to be happy and I know he belongs in this game and seeing him happy makes me so happy.

Raffy

The plan right now is for Zoe to use her idol on me and for Jack to use his idol on himself so that we are all safe at tribal council tonight. My FTC plan right now is Zoe, Joseph, and I. I love Jack, but he needs to go because I feel like he beats me at the end. He has an amazing redemption arc, and he has pulled off so many things in his short time here without many social connections. That's pretty impressive. However, I want to take him out at F5 or F4 because I still need him on my side. My boot order currently is Maynor -> Timmy -> Jack. However, Jack is also good at challenges which means I have to pry the immunity necklace from his hands. I know I can beat him. I just have to go out there and do it.

Maynor

Tonight might be my last night in the game and its bittersweet. I feel like i played a good game. I also feel like i was given credit for the moves Ive made. I am very proud of myself, and usually im always very hard on myself. I feel like this was my most out there game play ive had and im still very in aw that i was able to pull off a 4-3-3, vote 3-2-2 vote, able to flip Jack to vote Ellie saving Timmy, found an idol and many things. This has been a favorite game even though i might be out tonight. Like they know Ive played hard and i kept fighting to stay in this game. Tribal is going to be 3-3. We are voting jack (me timmy joseph) and (zoe raffy jack) are most likely voting for me once again. I hope. Jack has the idol cuz he did the trees path were i knew it was going to be at but my dumbass decided to do mountain instead. Jack is either going to use his idol on Raffy to try n avoid a tie or of jack plays it on himself and he negates all his votes. Either way. We are going to lose someone and they arent. So whatever happens tonight i will be content with cuz ive done everything that i could to try and survive. ❤️ Jay for having me back. Youre the best. Love you. ❤️

Maynor

My thoughts on 5 of the Final 6 people in the game: 1. Jack- oh the second boot. Was very paranoid early of this game and its understandable. Did good in EOE and returned to the game. Seemed to fall into place to Raffy’s side by not even talking to me or people who were working with me. Made his own ‘move’ by doing Ellie during F7 vote. But honestly it was not a good move for him. Even though I preached Jack has his own story. Honestly, he is still kind of a goat. No one would vote for him to win over others left in the game. Going to the end with Zoe and Raffy is his death sentence but going also everyone else in the game is his death sentence. 2. Joseph- people are saying he is a goat but that is not necessarily true. He has made moves in this game to help his position in it. He took the opportunity at f10 to make a move. Again with John vote. Dylan vote as well. Same with Jack that turned to Ellie vote off. The moves he has made were to help him make it to the end. People are underestimating his game play and if he makes it to the end then he really deserves to win it. Especially over like Jack. Also Raffy and Zoe tbh. 👀 MaynorPart 2: 3. Zoe- Zoe is a good player. But gameplay this season, i dont think she deserves the win. She was already voted out. All her strategic moves did not go according to plan. Was over confident and cocky and comfortable in the game. Wasnt going to make it to the final 7 anyways because her allies Raffy and Dylan were going to take her out. Her game play after making it back into the game due to eoe has made her into a goat. Like if someone votes for her to win its due to them being bitter over everyone else. She didnt try to make connections with everyone. She went right back to the people she was working with. And you can feel the ooze of over confidence when she said “im fitting in perfectly” when her as only talked to Raffy and ellie and Jack. So 🤷‍♂️ Honestly social game aint that good either. 4. Raffy- oh boi. Raffy raffy. Were do I start. None of his plans have happened besides the Stephen vote and even that he said it wasnt his move. Gave it to Dylan. So 🤷‍♂️ What moves has he done really? Hes been rude to a few people here and honestly leaves a bad taste in my mouth (game wise) cuz its been more game talk from him. He gets mad when things dont go his way and just starts yelling at people that they made the bad decision. But he still fought in this game. I would gove my vote to him over people like Zoe and Jack. MaynorPart 3: 5. Timmy- can i say how proud i am with Timmy this season. His social game was amazing and strong. He had people wanting to work with him and was in a good spot for a bit. He felt in the bottom and made a move. Since then has been fighting to stay in the game. Got ellie to flip on her alliance. Said Dylan’s name for the target. He played an idol on me instead of himself. He really did all that in this game and he has a big shot to win this game. He just has to reach the final 3. I feel that he can do that. He’s a great person and honestly gunna be sad now going to be able to finish this game with him. Would have been amazing to be able to sit with him at the end of the game. But alas ive made myself into a huge target that no one would want to work with me to get to the end and i understand. It just sucks i wont be able to finish this game with him. But he would be a great winner. And he deserves it with the game he has played. Im wishing him the all the luck and sending him good vibes for the rest of the game. ❤️

🎃 Halloween Tag 🎃

1. Favourite horror or Halloween-themed song? “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie and the 90s Goosebumps theme song

2. Name something you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark forest or in an abandoned building. Anything that would like to kill me, really.

3. Have you ever played with a Ouija Board? Yeah at sleepovers. A friend’s brother tried to use it to convince us that we were being haunted by a character in his favorite book series.

4. Favourite horror monster or villain? I’ll keep it simple and say the Phantom of the Opera.

5. The creepiest thing that’s ever happened while you were alone? Having the air conditioner inexplicably turn on in the middle of a New England winter. (More frustrating than creepy--like, I pay for for that, you bodiless jerk.)

6. If you were dared to spend the night in a “haunted house”, would you do it? I have some questions: What type of being is it allegedly haunted by? Do I have to stay there alone? And do I get monetary compensation for it?

7. Are you superstitious? A little but not really for the classic stuff; I have my own superstitions.

8. Do you ever see figures in your peripheral vision? Yeah and it really bugs me out.

9. Which urban legend scares you the most? It changes. I don’t know if this counts as an “urban legend” but Jeff the Killer was an anxiety of mine recently.

10. Do you prefer gore or thrillers? Thrillers. Gore can get uncomfortably...“porn-y.”

11. Do you believe in multiple dimensions or worlds? I do and I also have a similar belief to @theseventhseance that they may be where we go when we die.

12. Ever made a potion of any sort? No.

13. Do you get scared easily? *Kool-Aid Man Voice* OH yeah.

14. Have you ever played Bloody Mary? My cousin and I tried to but we were afraid of her being mad at us for summoning her, so we tried it with Jesus instead.

15. Do you believe in demons/the devil? I’m agnostic, so a lot of this stuff is hard for me to say that I conclusively believe in one thing or another, but I do to some extent believe in demons and the devil.

16. You’re home alone but you hear footsteps in your house, what do you do? See if I can spot the source of them, grab a weapon, and climb out the window.

17. If you got trapped in one scary movie, which would you choose? Does Beetlejuice count? Uh, maybe The Conjuring or one of the classic Phantom of the Opera movies? I feel like I’d have a shot at making it out of those ok.

18. If you could only wear one halloween costume for the rest of your life, what would you be? Probably a Lydia Deetz or Wednesday Addams outfit.

19. Would you ever go to a graveyard at night? I have. I filmed part of a movie in a graveyard at night, actually.

20. In a zombie apocalypse what is your weapon of choice? A solar powered Zombie Slaughter Truck.

21. Would you rather go to a Halloween party or go trick or treating? I really miss trick-or-treating, so I’m gonna go with that.

22. You’re in a horror movie. Are you the final girl, the first to die, the comic relief, the skeptic, the smart one, or the killer? Probably the smart one?

23. Do you have to watch something happy after watching a horror movie so you can go to sleep? Yeah. It doesn’t usually work in ridding me of my fear, but it at least calms me down. My first time watching Sinister (I know, I know. Not everyone enjoyed it.) I got so freaked out toward the end that I had to play Nicki Minaj in the background.

24. Whilst watching scary movies, are you the person who yells at the characters, the person with their eyes covered the whole time, or the person who falls asleep? Depends on the movie but usually the one who yells at the characters.

25. Are you the one who gets scared, or the one who does the scaring? The one who gets scared. I’m not motivated or clever enough to scare.

26. Favorite scary book? Coraline by Neil Gaiman. Still one of the most frightening stories that I have had the pleasure of reading.

27. How old were you when you saw your first horror movie? I don’t actually know. I only remember that something happened to cause my dad to restrict my horror movie watching to the classic black and white films, then some Hitchcock films, eventually working up to the PG-13 M. Night Shyamalan movies.

28. What was your first Halloween costume? Don’t recall. One of the earliest ones that I am most proud of though was the Halloween when I told my mom I wanted to be the Disney-fied Pocahontas and she made a beautiful dress for me, but after seeing a painting of a cobra, I declared that I would be going as a snake. My mom dressed me in black and stuck stuffed tights on either side of me and topped it off with googly eyes. I was so happy.

29. What are you going to be for Halloween this year? Fem Chucky

30. If you could have a spooky halloween pet (black cat, owl, bat, rat, wolf), what would you pick? Black cat all the way.

31. What’s one Halloween movie is your go to each year? DAYYYYYYY-O. DAY-AY-AY-O. Daylight come and me whan goooo home. (Beetlejuice)

32. Do you have any favorite Halloween memories? The year I got to go to Salem, MA with my brother during the weekend before Halloween and then was able to spend Halloween weekend proper with my parents, drinking hot cider in front of a fire.

Thanks to @theseventhseance for tagging me! I tag @chibipanda342 @ghostthelittlebat @oldlaceandhoney @morgan-is-mothman and anyone else who’d like to do this!

A Checklist of 15 Financial Goals To Hit

Hump Dayyyyyyy!

Came across this financial checklist over at Personal Finance Junkie this morning (how good is that name?) and thought it would be fun to see how many of these bad boys we can check off.

She says they’re good goals to hit by the time you’re 40, but really they’re great goals to achieve no matter your age, so whether you’re 20 or 60 let’s see how you’re looking so far…

I’ll go first, then your turn!

15 Goals to Hit On Your Way to Financial Freedom

#1. Build a starter emergency fund of $1,000. Check! The first step to getting things stabilized, and probably one of the hardest when you’re first starting out. Especially when you’re making minimum wage and stuck in the checking and savings shuffle game… I was king of that! ($50 into savings today, $50 back into my checking account at the end of the month when I’ve run out of money!) And the worst is that your brain only remembers the “saving” part, making you feel like you’ve saved when you haven’t ;)

#2. Organize your important financial information in a binder or eFile. Check! I still wanna do that Legacy Binder idea because it’s nerdily bad ass, but for now we keep our important $$$ and Life info into a centralized Google Doc, as well as partially printed out and stored in our safe. I do need to be better about keeping everything updated though as info changes all the time!

#3. Develop a monthly budget habit. Fail. What??? On a site called Budgets Are Sexy??? How is that possible?? Well, it’s possible because I spent 5+ years watching every penny and eventually got good at predicting my expenses without needing to look at it anymore :) I still think budgeting is one of the most important things to do when starting out, if not THE most important, but the good news is that once you’ve got a handle on everything you’re allowed to do whatever the F you want, haha… Even if you end up spending a little more had you continued to track it all :) So yeah – definitely still a huge fan of budgets and you gotta know where it’s all going, but my “budgets or die!” mantra has since eased up over time, and now I tend to focus more on the overall snapshot and trends (i.e. Net Worth) than I do tracking every transaction. If you’re a budgeting beast though and it’s working for you no matter what stage you’re in, more power to you!

#4. Pay off all of your debts. Fail. No budgeting and DEBTS?? What the hell kind of $$ blogger are you? Haha… An enigma? Wrapped in a conundrum? :) I don’t really know, but I have been known to go years without any debts whatsoever, so I guess this checklist caught me on a debt-year. Though does it make it better if I can pay it off at any time if I wanted to? (It’s our car loan – no credit card debt or anything)

#5. Build a mid-level emergency fund of $10,000. Check. You probably do need to be out of your teens and early 20s to hit this level, but fortunately as the years – and job skipping/promotions – continue, it gets easier and easier to start padding this boy. Though watch for kids and first homes and that bitch of a creeper, lifestyle inflation!

#6. Cut your expenses. Check. We could definitely be better, especially with the big three: home, car, food, but I’m giving us a pass here because we’ve come a far way over the years and planning on changing at least the home one significantly when we move next year. We’ve also been cable-free for over two years now – woo! (And iPhone free for over three!)

#7. Be aware of your credit score. Check. I use a combination of grabbing my free Experian score from USAA (currently 829), and then also my TransUnion and Equifax scores which uses the VantageScore 3.0 rating from Credit Karma (currently 835 and 833). There’s a ton of different scoring systems out there, but really as long as you’re monitoring one of them consistently over time you should be fine. If it moves sharply in any direction you know something’s up!

(Don’t forget – you can always get your free credit *report* every year too through Credit Karma as well as AnnualCreditReport.com! (I know that last one sounds sketchy, but I swear it’s legit :))

#8. Earn extra income. Check. My “day” job and my “hustle” jobs are pretty much mixed these days, but I have recently taken on more consulting jobs so I’m gonna go ahead and count that as extra since I had stopped for a handful of months. Big thanks to FinCon for letting me judge the FinTech Competition which brought in a wave of new business!

#9. Read the top personal finance books. Check. Although I’m much better about reading the top personal finance blogs since they tend to be more fun and relatable :) You’ll have to check out our books directory though over at Rockstar Finance as we recently polled over 100 financial bloggers on their favorites and then built a place to feature them all. Let me know what you think: PF Book Directory

#10. Automate your savings. Check/Fail. I automate a little of it, like when using Digit, but I tend to do most things manually these days just to have more control over it and appreciate it more. Like for example our new Spavings Experiment we’ve just started. Automation can be great, but don’t discount the power of consciously moving things over yourself too!

#11. Automate your bills. Check/Fail. I automate the bills that never change, but for everything else I just go in once a month and knock ’em out in one sitting to make sure all is kosher and the accounts have the funds needed when anything unusual is going on. Similar to the automation of savings and other areas, it makes me feel better manually handling stuff and forcing myself to check in at least once a month.

#12. Automate investing. Check/Fail. (Are you sensing a pattern here? :)). I automate some stuff, like our kids’ 529 investments and when I was experimenting with Acorns, but by and large I manually push money into my SEP or Roth IRA when it’s time again for all the reasons listed above. Although for my wife’s TSP plan (the gov’ts version of the 401(k)) we automate that fully, and I highly advise everyone else doing the same who has access to it, if not just to grab all that free $$$$ most employers give you!

#13. Write a 5 year financial plan. Major Fail. Haha… If there’s one thing I just cannot do no matter how hard I try, it’s to forecast my future. It’s amazing I’ve made it this far in the career/money world to be honest with you, as I can barely plan 5 weeks out no less 5 years! So anyone who can answer this question with a resounding “Yes”, or even a half-assed yes for that matter, gets major street cred in my books… I admire you greatly for being able to do that!!

#14. Start maxing out your retirement account every year. MAJOR CHECK!! Whew – ending on a good note here! My only rule with $$$ is to max out both of my retirement accounts every year ($20,000’ish total), and I’m proud to say that I’m now on year #7 or #8 so far and still going strong :) It’s pretty much the entire backbone of my net worth, and so long as you can do that you get a free pass at sucking at everything else, haha… it’s just a matter of time until you become a millionaire even if you do nothing else!

#15. Complete your emergency fund so you have at least 6 months’ expenses saved. Check. I dip above and beyond this number depending on what month/year you catch me, but as it stands we do have enough to last us if another penny didn’t come in over the next 6+ months… This is a tough one to pull off for sure though, especially if you’re doing #14 above. At least once you hit it though you don’t have to touch it until an emergency comes up!

So there it is! 15 financial goals to hit by 40 (or whenever)!

Looks like I scored a 10.5 out of a total possible 15, woops, haha… Someone take away my blog card! But it’s true – I could certainly improve in a number of areas, not gonna lie. Always something to work on, right? Life would be boring being perfect, or something like that? :)

A good exercise to check in on yourself though, whether you feel like sharing your results with others or not. All that counts is that you’re aware of what’s going on and striving to get better! And I’m rooting you on over here!

For those who do want to share though, let us know in the comments below what you scored, and how old you are if you dare :) Can be as easy as this, “I’m 37 years old and I scored 10.5 points out of 15. Yay?”

Thanks for the stimulation, PF Junkie!

I’ll go first, then your turn!
