#BUT THATS WHAT MAKES IT SO GOODDDDD

[oh-wow-im-still-here]

The best part about the bingqiu epic-misunderstandings-era during the jin lan city arc is that it works so well BECAUSE luo binghe is genuinely scary and unnerving at times. I think he should have been SCARIER actually. The dreadful feeling of inevitability that justice will be enacted upon you by the protagonist and his presumably world warping powers and persuasion should be utilized MORE!

i love mountain water... haters (my siblings) are gonna hate but i see her... shes beautiful to me

[pidgefudge]

SO. i have listened to @gooboogy 's wonderful green album. and i wrote down my thoughts on each song. and now i am putting them here!!

"thoughts" being actually somewhat coherent comments that devolve into What Would This Be In A Video Game because this is me we're working with after all

and you reading this. yes you. go listen to it

verdant: oooough blorpy,,,, very cool i like. good beat it's quite foot tappable. also the name itself might be a new vocal stim. verdant. vvvverrrrrdant.

halls: much noises!! the instrumence in this scratch my brain in a good way. feels a bit like im 7 years old watchinf my brother play 2d mario stages and reimagining the music

agua: oooohh arpeggio action and a SICK beat. once again the Noises are lovely. big fan of all 3 so far but this one in particular methinks. however i have many more songs to go (!!)

doot doot: very fun i also like this one a lot :3 and coming to you from my one-track autistic mind: this album would be a fantastic game soundtrack

side note i know im writing less for some of these but thats bc im experiencing them in shapes and colors more than expressable words. trust me they're stirring the brain stew

going for a walk: i know the title is about a walk but im envisioning this as the soundtrack to a sort of road trip montage animation thing. specifically my road trip with family from san francisco to la. oh yes this ending is us finally getting to the hotel and me flopping onto the bed

forward: im liking the melody here a lot <33 this album is making me want to boot up lmms again and try my hand at original music,,, ive only ever attempted remixes (i tried to do aquarium park from sonic colors a few years ago and gave up but now i kinda wanna go back to it,,, i wonder if i was cooking) ok yes back to the actual song whoops this one is soo cool one of my faves so far

snag: i like these opening chords!! i dont know what you actually call them but the like. buildup parts?? you know?? those bits??? big fan OOH and a uh. build down (lol) bit too! also liking the sparkly chimey instrumence

blazen: OHHH YESSS this would be the theme for my favorite antagonist in the hypothetical game that i am apparently going to be referencing multiple times (dimentio and mr L came to mind immediately) absolutely jamming

beep boop: fuck yeah man it sure does OH SPOOKY NOTES OH OH COOL BEAT ASWELL i am in for a fun time this is. also the theme of my favorite antagonist. but the battle theme i think. oh hell yeah the orchestra hits. yes yes definitely battle theme. sorry for putting all these in a vgm context shfjdkfkssghf i just listen to a lot of it so thats how my brain parses instrumentals

hunt: strimgs :3 wohhh this is so cool. buzzy in a good way. golden brown triangles and other spiky shapes. that's kinda meaningless to anyone but me but. oh nice more Noises always love the Noises

overwhelm: theme for when i have a project due the next day and am swamped with other homework shdjdksfjdh

VERDANT!: once more with gusto!! loving the faster tempo. constellationy crystally instrument is particularly pleasing. oooughh so gooddddd

creepin': spacey!! im watching a crew set out in their little shuttle, oblivious to the horrors awaiting them on their station

envy: this is a boss fight that's emotionally heavy for the protagonists. perhaps fighting a former friend or mentor or team member

whomp whomp: quite a tricksy track!! some sort of haunted place,,,, maybe the place where the previous battle takes place. maybe it's actually a ghost (especially if the protagonist had some role in their death and feels crushing guilt) (bonus points if the ghost openly expresses resentment for the protag)

gromulous: the word ever. final boss' lair for sureee. yeah this song sure is gromulous. idk how else to describe it you hit the nail on the head

largemouth: oooh a bit silly but also cool guy. im thinking some sort of underground secret society/lab thing they have to infiltrate that's hiding a Sinister Secret (the big plot twist of the game) doesn't even have to physically be underground it could be a moon base situation. maybe i should just make this whole thing into a scifi space rpg

a way out: i can see this as the final boss music and as you get further in the fight it ramps up. i know i already assigned songs to the main antagonist but shhhhh. (or i can always pull a super paper mario in terms of antagonists)

under over: oh!! i love this one!! hometown theme. chill and familiar but still upbeat rather than sleepy. and it has a very strong nostalgia factor,,,,, in love with this song it might be my favorite. but there are still 3 more so!

float: this beginning is very cool im loving the vibe. dire dire docks but make it just after sunset and watch the ocean come alive with bioluminescent lights and fish raves. i guess it isnt a space game anymore. or maybe dream sequence beach episode?? WOAHHH OCEAN MAGICANT i might be cooking with this one Hold On. yesyesyes ok some sort of trip/dream where theyre shrunk down marinauts (whatever ocean prefix) as opposed to astronauts and exploring a cool coral reef/ocean floor area and talking to the sea life and woahhhhhh this would look gorgeous in pixel art. tbh this one could be in its own game considering how vivid the imagery is

outside: post-final-boss world returning to normal/person being rescued or uncorrupted/whatever magical thing happening. very fond of the bird chirps too <33 OH MUSIC BOX SOUNDS i also adore this one. i think the ending of this game is kinda bittersweet. we saved the world/person/whatever but At A Cost. this is sooooo pretty. would also transition well into credits

Green: and roll credits!! this would be the kind of credits theme i sway in my seat and contemplate the game to. the entire album is fantastic and these last few especially have been so lovely

[mekatrio]

ok additional thoughts on 4-3..

it was very 🤯🤯 to learn that trucy has a "real father".... who i highly suspect to be shadi smith lol. it hasnt been stated explicitly whether this is her biological father or not and i still stand by the opinion tht wright isnt the type to adopt children he has no blood relation obligations to, so im still under the belief tht shes wright's biological daughter.. tho it wouldnt be super hard for me to believe tht shes actually not his bio daughter cuz wright having a child at 18 would be crazzyyyy. but yeah thats for case 4 to reveal to me so thts exciting.. oh and also im guessing mr. hat is modelled after zak gramarye, so valant = yellow, zak = blue, and trucy = pink/red like she was in tht cute little picture!

klavier's and apollo's relationship is sooo interesting to meee.. i really really like how its completely different from every relationship wright has had w his prosecutors. every prosecutor has been antagonistic to wright, but even tho klavier makes fun of apollo's forehead and is condescending to him in the court, hes still pretty respectful towards apollo. it was really cool how he entrusted apollo to incriminate drayan, it was very reminiscent of edgeworth's trust in wright during the engarde case. klavier is sooo interesting, like hes all here talking abt "finding the truth" which took our previous prosecutors like 2 whole games to reach that point, but klavier has already reached it here. i also liked how bratty and grumpy he was in the concert LOL and tht whole part in his office where hes like "i want to pursue simplicity :)" is so interesting and i bet will get unraveled next chapter hurhuahfksdj. hes so different in such a refreshing way and i really really enjoy it. i also like how nice he is to trucy, honestly its nice that everyone is nice to trucy! shes the games special girl and im glad we all treat her nicely!

and of course apollo has been so refreshingly different tooooo, it was typical game stupidity for him to leave the crime scene unattended but hey, he hasnt endangered trucy at any point so that has been a huge plus for me. i really like how deadpan and level-headed and 'serious' he is. its just really good character writing that he fills out the same role as wright but his personality is still very different. like wright was bizzare and apollo is not. but hes still as entertaining. also his confidence in the court was very coollll i really like this kid. and also its so neat to play as a protagonist whose the same age as me HAHA. and ive already said this but seriously him and trucy are so cuteeee together, maya and phoenix were the best of friends, but apollo is like looking after trucy and its just super adorable.

also at first i was very 🤨 at this case bc it took its time to point out my defendant was BLIND and short and also how could letouse have known lamiroir was a witness if he wasnt facing the small window, so i was irked during the 1st trial bc of this, but then it ended with a WOAHHH when lamiroir accused drayan and then the court started to get criticized and it was just soooooo gooddddd. oh and the part where i had to figure out how the magic trick worked was really funny bc i genuinely had no idea, and trucy knowing but not telling apollo was hilarious and so was the judge's insistence on learning how the trick worked 😭 i really liked that part! im very happy with the game so far and im super excited for the last case, cuz even tho turnabout corner kinda rushed its ending it was still a neat case and i liked alita's personality as a killer very much, all the cases have been very solid. and im excited to finally receive answers to the many mysteries of this game.. tho im a bit worried abt having the time and space to actually play it cuz eid is in like 4 days hejfkwehjkshdagjk but what happens happens!

^i like this line

Oh my gooddddd Trau the Azul fake dating AU sounds SO GOOD???

Im weak enough already for the fake dating trope but then you add in Azul AND some familial (at least thats what I immediately thought of first) Crewel and Crowley ?????

I would ascend. On the spot. (real)

(DONT YOU STRAY FROM WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING THOUGH I SAW YOUR TAGS, BE STRONG TRAU)

(the azul fake dating au skull emoji)

YES. ARIES. YOU GET ME. me when all i’m doing is squishing all my favorite tropes into one but shhh no one needs to knowww—

azul bc he’s just the ultimate, slow burn material character. like bro would probably take 10 years to ask someone to HOLD HANDS, and i believe the fake dating would make him fold and panic 10x faster lmao

and yes. familial nrc profs. they are all yuu’s dads in my heart. crewel’s worried bc in his memory all the whelps around during yuu’s schooling are not worthy, and crowley’s there bc he heard the students talking about it and he’s like how did i not know ?? (he prides himself on knowing what yuu’s up to but now he’s confused)

when i actually start writing it. i will send a crow or something to alert you, so uh…be prepared for a crow to visit you in some distant date.

(ALSO DW. WRITING THAT ASK KINDA APPEASED ME, SO I’VE BEEN WORKING ON MY OTHER THINGS. TY FOR YOUR CONCERN.)

[satoruhour]

hi!!!! i have another bass!suguru/jjk band thought (ง ื▿ ื)ว. satoru's goofy ass would rope suguru into doing this, you know for the theatrics, especially given that suguru's also well-versed with the guitar. i think about the jjk band at least once a day. i would love to hear more about their dynamics and all if you have something in store.

anyways i hope you're doing fine and dandy <33

AWWW WHAT THE HELL THATS SO CUTE !!!!! gojo totally would hes so annoying doing everything but his job 😭😭😭 (jk but well..) hes just a goofy lil guy who loves music and jamming and playing and performing so satoru does weird stuff like this sometimes!!! making silly gestures and rocking out while his white hair is all ip in getos face and he cringes from gojos sweaty body LMAOAOAO but yes ungffff geto would be so hot playing without even seeing the strings / frets bc hes just so accustomed to the guitar despite playing bass?!?!!! its terribly attractive and you mention it to him after the show and eek! mayhaps he teaches you the same way with your back against his chest and you strumming a simple chord? my GOODDDDD babes u just unlocked something in me i would LOVE to develop more on tiis concept!!!

[rebelwhodoesntknow]

Tbh it sucks because Friends is so special to me but it tanked, actually got canceled unlike the other gens, the arcade game and merch sales weren't doing it so they tried to rework the series for the next gen

Aikatsu on Parade and all it's merchandise was partly an attempt to scrape up more money for Planet's release but??? I don't think it worked??? the first couple episodes mention all these really cool ideas about their idol world and then nothing came of it, it was a cute concept but I really think they just fell reaaally under budget and tried to skate by hoping nobody noticed

ever since Stars things have just been kind of mismanaged 😭 like why is the majority of their merch acrylic character stands?? you are a trading card rhythm game for 8 year olds 😭

I LOVE how diverse the music is!!!!! all the "standard idol stuff" really stands out too imo. Signalize was one of my favorites from the start, it just hits so different, most idol anime start with that extra sparkly guitar happy type of song but the instrumental for signalize was so unique, I always thought it was a bold choice for a show like that their rock music is so good. like so so gooddddd

I swear out of the like 700 songs of this series there are maybe 6 I don't enjoy?? ALSO WOW THATS A LOT

Same about the animation, OG s2-onward & Friends was great!!! I also love in the movie when Ichigo performs Kagayaki no Etude, there's a slow spinning scene when she's talking on stage about what the song means to her and every couple seconds it switches from 2d to cg angles and it's so seamless, I love it 😭💗

I think Planet's cg was also beautiful, I don't have much of an attatchment to the season but the character designs look really nice, good fluffy hair physics, and they've TOTALLY perfected the in-the-dark glowy look by then!!

another thing most of the fandom agreed on, Stars feeling kind of uncanny.. and the auras kept covering idols art certain parts so that's why they changed all the arches early on, they ACTUALLY got written complaints from kids 😭😂

I always wanted to see an idol with no type or a couple!!! Before Kaguya was introduced there was a huge theory going around that she was actually a Sexy/Cool type and since pairs were the point of Friends, we thought we were finally getting double type girls

I also wished the concept of my coords was used in more than that one ichigo gen ep, where you mix up brandless pieces, one of my favorite things to do is mix and match outfits in the ds games so I was hoping to see like idk maybe soleil could split their PR coords together one time or something??? idk would have been cool though!!

Ugh I do agree with you on the merchandise. Like I can’t play any of the card-based games because America so the cards would basically be glorified trading cards. This might be my doll collector brain talking, but why didn’t they make fashion dolls? I know they did for Friends but they didn’t expand on the concept at all, they just made two dolls. I want to see the girls in their basic coords and then fashion packs for each brand, like a set of multiple Futuring Girl rares or just one PR. I would have gone absolutely apeshit for that. It would also allow for mixing and matching, so maybe it could have tied into the show a lot more like with the concept of PR mixing you brought up! I feel like most PRs in units work pretty well together so I’d like to see the mix ups.

Yeah, I really do not care for planet. I think it really didn’t work, and was an awful lot like PriPara when it didn’t need to be! While the cg is admittedly gorgeous, I also feel like it tried to be so ✨aesthetic✨ all of a sudden instead of being bright and colorful like it’s always been! But maybe I just hate change.

I’ve heard that a lot of people find Raki to be a Mary Sue and hate the way she copied the designs of others. I don’t know enough about her to form an opinion, really, but what do you think?

I love the fact that the kids complained during Stars. They may be kids, but they have standards!!

I think double type idols would be super cool and really flesh out the world. Tbh I think there could be a few idols that could be double typed with only a few minor tweaks (I always thought Mikuru was a pop/sexy idol tbh). One thing I think would be interesting is to see how brands would react to it. Brands appreciate dedication, so would dual type idols have a hard time getting PRs because the pure-type brands would worry about being thrown aside? Cool conflict imo.

Now I have to ask, are the ds games any good? Are they able to be played as someone who speaks absolutely no Japanese? I’ve never really thought about getting one of the games before because I have no clue how they work

[gender-mailman]

theyre super gooddddd if our friendship evolves into it I shall send some over >:D

anyway Ive been trying to updatw my fursona but its so hard because... who am I.... I really want 1 fursona because even if I have like 200 (not joking) OCs too many fursonas stress me out but also... being plural kinda makes it really hard to keep to one fursona T T

I STIMMED SO HARD WHEN YOU SAID THAT AAAAAAAAAAA /vpos

Oof <:( *pat pat pat* maybe try tô combine your most big kins in the fursona? Thats what i did at least, (a cat-goat) never drew them tho <:)

[rowdent]

ohhhh bc ee have things that look the exact same usually filled with cheese and bits of fried chicken and theyre soo gooddddd thinking about it is making me hungry rn

YRAH they are so good. unrelated but also kinda related rn I'm in a boat tour thing and all I want is tequeños bc thats iusuallt what the restaurants sell to ppl ln the beach an f j want them so bad rn

[regularbeans]

tlou spoilers ig idk issssmyopinion cause i cant tell linn about them cause she asked for no spoilers and i already yelled about it to sara and my sister and i dont know any more people.

i dont think there was anything i didnt like tbh. sarah was really gooddddd, the actor nailed that shit on the head. i like how they established more that tommy depends on joel, with the jail thing, and how they shared the job at the start, i think that was really good. there was more set up about the neighbours too, i just think all that was really cool.

none of the direct quotes from the game felt like pandering or fanservice, which i liked, all of them were really welcome for me. (Didnt think i would sob at hearing a teenage girl say "i sell hardcore drugs" as a joke but here we are.)

I liked that it was all from sarah's POV in the beginning. in the game one of the most poignant scenes is trying to escape in the car, how the adults are in the front seat making the calls and everything is happening around you and all you can do is turn the camera and watch. it was nice that you could like, see her interact with the world even if for a short bit. it didnt feel drawn out or unnecessary, it was sufficiently Paced.

none of the direct quotes from the game felt like pandering or fanservice, which i liked, all of them were really welcome for me. (Didnt think i would sob at hearing a teenage girl say "i sell hardcore drugs" as a joke but here we are.)

the worldbuilding was really nice, like im sure it couldve been done more extensively in the game as well, seeing the QZ and how it works and all that, not just through cutscenes but i do get why they wouldnt do it, they did, however, have time for it on the show, which i really liked. the whole circle of trades joel got through to get info on tommy. i love that tommy is more present from the beginning. like in the game we were looking for him when we find him but it comes up as an idea later in the game like "okay what now, ig lets go find tommy" but here he's already established to be. Out There. and something happened between him and joel that we dont know anything about yet.

i am wary of tess a liiiittle bit because annie wersching is just so fucking good. like when they said she walked into the audition As Tess, you just know they mean it. and i only ever saw anna torv as olivia in fringe and shes good in that but a part of her character is that she's a little grey and a little unnoticable and all that so. i was a little afraid. and sure she gives off a different vibe but she has that same gentleness juuust below the surface that game tess did, and i love that joel really is just the muscle, but tess is the brain and the authority in the pair.

so that was good.

marlene is 100%, i really loved her. i dont know why i thought seeing her wear the same simple clothes as game marlene did was such a huge deal that i had to hyperventilate, but you know. like dude, its a tank top, calm down.

anyway. i was fine with all of the changes, i dont think anything they changed took away anything from the characters. maybe i expected them to react to the fungi'd body a little differently. like the spores were already established and seeing a bitch like that should mean its about to start sporing but. maybe its just a detail that theyre. not. supposed to wear a gas mask at that point.

ig thats the one thing that made me go hOL'UP. but nothing else i can recall

the fireflies were alright, like we see the explosion from the game just somewhere else in the game so we see about as much of them in the show as in the game.

obviously, i think ellie's actor has the most to prove which, goddamn, thats gotta be Some pressure eh. but i think she did well. the few lines she had were well written, they got her character through well. but i also loved how once they were outside and in danger following tess and joel, she really was just a scared kid who's really just trying to Appear Big and scary by cursing and yelling and lashing out at new people and being a little brat.

i dont think i have any like, observations about her as of now. i liked her on screen, obviously shes never gonna be the same as ashley johnson ellie but i also dont want her to be? actually there were two lines where i felt like she was imitating game ellie (or it really just came across like that for my ears) and that actually bothered me more than when she was "different". which. she is, obviously x)

so yeah i really like her, to me it all hinges on her chemistry with joel. i think the actor will do a fine job if the dynamic is written well.

joel for now is kind of a blank slate i guess, classic hardened badass that he was in the game as well. so im excited for him to become a real character next to the cast of characters they'll meet along the way and as their relationship with ellie transforms.

for now, the show is really promising, it really got me hyped, i cried, i laughed, i literally screamed out loud when they mentioned riley x') so it had me in my tlou feels, definitely.

but im also wary because of the video game adaptation curse thats been going for centuries x) also for some reason adaptations often love to go tits up right before the ending? like they want to do something else something different and have their own moment. i expect and accept a lot more changes thats not the issue but just dont... steal the heart of the story, okay?

thank.

also i had no idea they kept gustavo for the music so i may have wept when i heard the theme song. i have sooOOO MANY fond memories of playing the game for the first time. it was such a special, special experience with giules in rome, playing a video game for the first time in my life, having so many great experiences just being with her family and all. listening to the OST on the beach together :")

ahh so good.

anyway, feels. yes. good. lets go. i have faith.

[lisxdumbr]

I think the reason why Nazuna got into singing in the first place is that it was freeing. It was an expression of freedom, although he never truly liked the church songs, and his mother had put him in, she just let him do his own thing. It was a church thing, it mattered that he did it but didn't matter if he was good at it or enjoyed it. All that mattered to her was that her son did it, and so she just let him do it. But what she didn't know is that he found a sort of freeing from these songs. It wasn't the songs themselves, the lyrics or the instrumentals, it was the time he had spent with the rest of the kids in the choir. He didn't particularly like them, in fact, he can't quite remember their faces now, but it was that he could simply interact with them however he wished. His parents weren't watching, and all his mom did was talk to the other parents- and unless he caused a ruckus, he knew that they'd speak positively about him. So, he was free, free to sing. Even though the chorus was about singing how it was supposed to, everyone was unique, and once he had found his own voice in the sea of voices of the many children present, he was finding himself. That was freedom.

sorry you are subject to my thoughts too

+ another ask:

Nazuna has felt trapped in a cage for all of his life. When he was young, he banged on the door of all sides. Many would come to visit him, admire him, as a child- but he never wanted them there. He soon came to cherish them that at least he wasn't lonely, that he wasn't trapped in a cage and alone- at least he was trapped in a cage and had some people with him. It wasn't so bad... that he could be near others- so he stopped being hostile, because they'd leave. Even if he knew that some of their interest was only because of his looks and reputation. People brought things in, it was somewhat comfortable. But he was still stuck inside the cage, trapped and in his own space forever. It was when he got to sing in the chorus that there was a beautiful sound in the cage, where he could stick his hand through the golden bars stretching ever too far up. It was a little bit, a taste of freedom- and he loved it. He pursued it, he stuck his hand further out, his voice becoming his greatest weapon in piercing the magical barrier created by this cage of his parents' "protection". At least he was grateful there weren't too many outside forces.

Even when he had gone to yumenosaki, he thought he'd been let out of the cage, but in this point, the cage had been created within his mind, wandering and aimless, until he had met itsuki shu. valkyrie had given him reasons to work hard, a concreate goal and a teacher who knew how to achieve perfection. he was to become the doll he had always been called. and he pushed himself, hard, harder than he could ever take, and thats when the cage snapped, when he released himself, he wandered again, out in the world. it was cruel and tough, until he met ra*bits and joined them, and it was then he discovered how to live outside of the cage, and even guiding others along with him.

Sorry for the late reply, you sent this the day I have my full day routine (please free me--)

BUT OHHH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOODDDDD. I love how passionate you are talking about him pls, don't apologize!!

I may not know a lot about Nazuna but I can get your point. I believe he indeed felt the necessity of being free. he wanted to stop being in the glass cage to become human (ah yes, the Valkyrie member experience) and he indeed found how to do it by encountering Ra*bits.

I actually believe Valkyrie was able to make him realize about the cage in some way? Because he formed it with Shu and he agreed to be the doll in the first place, that was the only life he knew so he took it. But after the war, everything changed, and that's where the eccentrics enter (bless them 🙏) because I do think Wataru made him realize that the cage was open the entire time and he was the one who decided to stick to it and that's SOOO IMPORTANT

The only Niichan story I've read is the one from Love it Love it (sorry I am not inclined towards Ra*bits that much </3) AND HIS DEVELOPMENT IS SO HUGE. I do believe he loves ra*bits with his life, not only because they were his key to happiness but because they gave him a purpose to pursue. And speaking of Love it Love it, I do think he sees himself reflected in Tomoya; that scene where he breaks down, I'm so sure Niichan made sure to be there because that's what he always wanted from his senpai, reliability of some sort <333

ANYWAY QIAN I'M KISSING YOUR BRAIN RN THANKS FOR THE THOUGHTS

[izzyliker]

I've never really participated in a fan week for anything before and I saw tmt4t was a thing and INSTANTLY was overjoyed. Finally I had a reason to write my jongeorgie & jonmartin thing with gender exploration (not that i needed a reason, but still) and I'm SO excited for what the week is gonna be like, thank ya for making something like it!

OH THATS SO EXCITING!!!!!! gender exploration GOODDDDD and jongeorgie gender exploration [vibrates quickly]

[legobatjoker]

wait ok so idk if this will make sense but like. i made colour pallets based on each tswift album not in like. the album cover or colours assoicated w each album but like the colours mentioned in the albums if that makes sense ? (i didnt like. listen out for colours in each album myself tht wld have taken me agess i got then from this post) this is what ive made so far (the colours beneath each one isnt part of it theyre j there so u can see the white shades)

this doesnt have the lyrics corosponding 2 each colour on it rn so ill j give a quick example, for red the lyrics are, "this is the golden age of something good and right and real" "comes back to me burning red" "and my cheeks are growing tired of turning red and faking smiles" "after plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own" "all my walls stood tall painted blue"

there are other colours mentioned in the albums other than the ones i chose for this but wanted 2 limit myself 2 five per one (the teal nd green dots next 2 folklore nd evermore r colours i thought abt incuding but wasnt sure abt) nd i limited myself 2 one colour per song (not including colour mention in multiple songs) nd i think they all look rly cool so nd i do wanna make this into like proper post/edit thingy nd mayb do smth with them like draw a scene described in the album w the colours (e.g "theres something abt the way the street looks when its j rained" w the fearless colour scheme) but i think i kinda wanna tweak the colours a little bit 4 some of them so they work better 2gether nd stuff nd also like. the thing abt speak now is tht it only mentions five colours (nd one of them is "and her snobby little family all dressed in pastels" line which i j made pastel purple bc thats the speak now colour) nd like. bc of that since i didnt rly have an options to chose from nd it doenst rly work so i think i mgiht wait 4 speak now tv 2 come out nd choose the colours from that if any of the vault songs from it mention dif colours bc rn its rly not working tht well imo 😭😭😭 but ya i j thought this wld b rly cool so i made it :]

WAIT THATS SOOO COOOOL omg so many of those look soso gooddddd like esp the red one…. and now im gonna pay more attention to the colors mentioned in songs wow:000

Episode #4: “My move........ it approaches.........“ - Joanna

NOOOO JG. You will be missed ;-;. Sorry I didn't ally with you but like, following your trend of orgs, I couldn't risk this one having you go missing in the middle again which happened. The challenge sucks tho. I really wonder what the punishment for not doing it is. A lot of people are hella inactive so I'm assuming its to curb on that. Its really annoying tbh. I want a nice friendly game but most of the people don't talk and i'm sad. I came back to make new friends but its okay, I still got Madeleine and Joanna and others. *sigh so quiet...

Okay so, I am getting my goals Play the game with out my parents knowing-  it’s been over a week. They don’t know. Make moves, do shit- I am in 3 alliances and just successfully coronated my first vote. Don’t fail my classes- I’m only failing one it’s fine. And everyone is so nice! I love this cast so much!!! And JG just quit, ugh. I hope everything is okay, and he is okay!!

Oop, it’s been a minute since I’ve confessed. My bad. Not much has been happening but now I’m up to 3 alliances without doing much so I guess that’s good. There are people who are real quiet...I guess I am too, but I have people I trust

OKAY 1. I just won myself back into I Love Money, which was the ORG that I got eliminated from that drove me to steal that road sign LMAO anyway if that makes me more inactive I’m sorry ;-( I’m naturally bad at orgs so this twist of no tribes already puts me at a disadvantage 2. and now I’m one of the 6 people who can be eliminated which. Puts me on edge. UGH why am I on the bottom of this already. I’m gonna try to push for Kevin bc he’s a comp beast, that’s all I got

I DID IT I WON A THING I WON MY FIRST THING OH MY GOODDDDD I'M SO EXCITED TIME TO MAKE BIG MOVES

Pat and I are going to try and make a move tonight. We are deciding between Dylan or Andrew. I think Dylan is feeling super comfortable so I'm pushing for him. I'm excited to try and mix up this game. I think this is the round that things need to start happening, and I am going to do my best to make them start happening, and make them start happening exactly as I want them to. I want to become a mastermind in this game. An under the radar threat. I have won a single immunity, I can use Pat as a shield and as an ally and I can control this game behind my shield, because nobody will think of this little high school girl as a threat. Thats the hope at least. 

I thought Stephen was going to like want to work with me, but he is super hesitant about it. Currently trying to sway Timmy into voting for Dylan. Said that I heard Dylan and that I was leaning towards voting for him, he doesn't have to know that voting Dylan is my idea. Hopefully I can pull this thing off, a blindside under my belt won't be too bad. I told Kevin that I heard his name from Stephen (this is true btw), so hopefully Kevin will trust me more than he already does (or at least I think he trusts me). I got my work cut out for me if I am going to pull off this Dylan vote, but Pat and I are working hard at making sure this happens and I really hope that it is pulled off.

MY MOOOVVVVVVEEEE It's falling apart. I don't think I have the numbers and tribal is coming up. Brien might have to go I guess.

literally I’m probably going home LMAO I think I have people protecting me, but it’s probably me. So basically if this is my last confession: I love you all, and this is the lowest placement I’ve gotten in an ORG

So, developments. Cause I’m a messy bitch I’m making another alliance with kevin pat joanna and maybe others, the reasons for this are twofold. 1: more information. seeing how they talk and who they talk about will tell me a lot, and 2: i never wanted to put all my eggs in a kalokairi basket to begin with. Dylan barely talks to me, god knows what madeleines doing after that challenge, timmy is awesome but also very smart and knows me well. So this alliance provides me with other options, however, the risk is that if theres a majority alliance with someone from kalokairi and this new alliance they will know im being shady, and likely vote my ass out. But they may have been targetting me all along, who knows. At this point I might try and target brien, because he is in neither of my major alliances, but the new alliance is pretty sold on dylan so... who knows?

So, I’ve been busy. I am honestly out to get Madeline. Joanna is my main bitch. I am close with jay and brien as well. And me timmy and Madison have an old relationship. I feel good about working with them going forward. I love Kevin as well. I like vi. Everyone else is boring. But I’m like trying hard to get Dylan voted out first and be the crazy vote and save brien my Philly brother. This has been the craziest vote yet and you all have me and Joanna to thank for that. This whole individual immunity thing makes me feel so good.

*Screams into the void* THIS VOTE IS A FUCKING MESS so this is the Dylan Brien vote. (unless something else gets thrown in then I'm just fucked) so basically i was helping plan a good ol' Brien vote out. I had it all good. we had Majority, then I watch it crumble before my very eyes. first it seemed like Kevin wasn't with us, and then Stephen. so as far i know it is 45 minutes until tribal and we presumably have majority OR everyone is lying to me and dylan is going home. I just, this is a giant mess.I love it, but i also hate it. it is out first complicated vote. *Continues screaming into void*

Sorry I haven't confessed in a bit, I've definitely been INV the last few episodes lol. But anyways, get out of work and for the first time it really felt like I'm playing a game. People were FINALLY messaging me about an actual strategy and actual decision that needed to be made. Joanna filled me in that it's Dylan or Brien going tonight, and that she was leaning Dylan. At first I wanted to go for Brien instead, but I talked to Pat and he give me a whole list of people who are voting for Dylan. And TBH if no one is gonna give me an alternative, that's just what I'm gonna do. Besides, the only people who have talked to me today were on that list so those are the people I want to work with. Like Pat, Joanna, Madeleine, Kevin. But apparently this vote is split down the middle so?? I assume if it deadlocks that everyone immune won't have to draw a rock, so I really don't mind letting it tie. Though realistically anyone not immune is just gonna flip their vote to avoid it. Tho I'm really not worried about next round's tribal either. There are far bigger fish to fry in this game over me right now.

My move........ it approaches.........

So I'm desperately typing this 5 minutes before tribal AHH! So earlier on Pat told me Madeleine was voting with him. I messaged her like, 30 minutes ago, asking her what she was doing. And she just starts pushing real hard for me to keep Dylan. It was pretty much like I was her last hope in the world. TBH I'm not falling for the age-old Survivor trap of telling both sides I'm voting with them. If the vote doesn't go my way, it doesn't go my way. I can't be a wishy-washy player this early on in the game. It's way more likely for the majority to take revenge on the person in the middle than someone who was just a cog in the machine for the other side. Right now I just want to play the part of a loyal alliance member and get down to smaller numbers. I can't be seen as anywhere near responsible for the first game defining moment of the season. It's way way way too early.

if your friend came to you asking for advice, being in the exact situation you are/were in, what would you tell them? I like that you're open about stuff, because it reminds me that I'm not alone in this. I convince myself that I'm just seeing what I want to see, but a guy calling me adorable and texting me good morning every day, saying things like 'I have everything I want now that I met you' and other things of similar sentiment turning around and making sure to call me 'friend'... it's crazy

gooddddd girl i know its the worst feeling in the world. and im in the same boat where sometimes i just think i’m seeing what i wanna see, but at the same time this obviously isnt how you act towards your other friends??? its like if you like me tell me don’t string me along like that and call me a friend??? but it seems like the dude youre dealing with is A LOT more direct than the guy i’m dealing with. imo if a guy is texting you good morning every day then that means you’re one of the first things he thinks about when he wakes up, which is a good sign :) esp since he said “I have everything I want now that I met you“ like WOW i was that were me. but its dumb as shit that he specifies that youre just a “friend”, but that might just be a defense on his side in case you might not like him back.

my advice (which i’m planning on doing with my guy) is that next time he does something flirty like that then call him out. maybe not directly like “so do you like me or not” lmao but just make him explain himself like “why do you say that” and kind of lead him to confessing, if that makes sense? idk thats what i would do since i’m not confrontational i wait for an opportunity to come up.

best of luck with your man!!!! im rooting for you :)
