Alternative Season 1 Episode 9 part 1 of 2: "Confusion"

Residence of Almeric Davis, Aldric Davis and Marksim Dunnoff

The three boys were talking about Marksim's crush on Professor O'Mackey.

Aldric: Marksim, I hope this isn't like Ekaterina and Daniel...the two of them are total chaos haha

Marksim (Excited): I really can't take it anymore to go to Gabe's house! I even put on some super cool shorts that I bought myself!

Almeric (Confused): Are you sure you didn't forget anything?

Marksim (Smiling): No, I have everything! I have books, notebooks, pencils, clothes and other things hehe! Well guys, I'm leaving, wish me luck!

At that moment Boris and Montserrat Davis (Parents of Aldric and Almeric) arrived.

Montserrat: Almeric, Aldric!! I can't believe you guys have grown too big!

Boris: Hello children!.

Almeric and Aldric: Hello dad, hello mom, how are you?.

Boris (Smiling): Very good hoho... The trip we took with the whole family was great! Right dear?

Montserrat: Of course, the only thing I didn't like was when Lena and her husband Ricardo started drinking a lot of whiskey! And how are you guys doing in class?

Aldric: Very good, I have been flunked in several exams! The teachers are very proud of me.

Almeric: And I have achieved many things hahaha!.

In Riverblossom Hills

O'Mackey family home

Gabe was teaching Marksim some things about Math.

Gabe (Explaining): And this is how you get the square root!.

Marksim (A little distracted): Yes handsome...

Gabe was surprised to hear Marksim's words, although to tell the truth, he also blushed a little, so he decided to get a little closer to his student.

Gabe (Flirting with Marksim): You know something Mark, you're too cute...

Giving in to their feelings, Gabe and Marksim kissed, both of them a bit confused but loving being together.

Gabe (While unbuttoning his shirt): Are you liking what we're doing?

Marksim: Yes hehe! Can we go upstairs?

The two continued kissing in Gabe's room, at which point Jason and Rose Greenman arrived at the house.

Jason and Rose: Hi Gabe, we're here to visit!

Those voices frightened Gabe and Marksim who ran down to greet the visitor.

Gabe: Hello brother, hello Rose! This is Marksim!

Marksim (Shy): Hello hehe.

Jason: Nice to meet you Marksim, hey Gabe...

Rose (Finishing asking the question): Why are you two in your underwear hehe?

Jealousy {NazuMichi}

A/N: I don’t know if the second ask was meant as a prompt for them but it was too cute to pass up pls. I’m so excited to finally write for BNA like?? This show left a hole in my heart for daysss after i finished it, not because it was sad or anything it was just really good and i missed it! Thank you for the prompt, and I hope you enjoy! :D

Summary: Michiru has been waiting for Nazuna to finish up a fan signing, and eventually gets impatient when she takes longer than expected. When will she finally see her?

Word Count: 1.6k (under the cut)

Michiru tapped her foot impatiently, frowning. She checked her phone, sighing when she saw the time and lack of texts. She had been waiting for Nazuna to finish up with her fan signing, and it had been hours. She hadn’t gotten there too long agol, but Nazuna had promised to have been done by now.

Michiru supposed she couldn’t help it, being the Silver Wolf and a popstar, so naturally she was quite famous with a lot of people who adored her…

Michiru couldn’t help but feel jealous. Not because she wasn’t as famous as Nazuna, but because she felt as if more of Nazuna’s attention went to her fans instead of her, her actual girlfriend.

Michiru frowned and texted Nazuna for the third time asking whether or not she was done, and closed her phone. She was surprised when she got a sudden buzz from her phone and checked it excitedly, thinking it was Nazuna.

Can you pick up some milk for Melissa and Gem when you’re done hanging out with Nazuna? Thanks.

Michiru groaned in annoyance. It was only Shirou, and of course he would be the one concerned about milk. Why couldn’t he pick it up himself? Michiru typed a quick response before stuffing her phone away, watching as a few more people left the building that Nazuna was currently signing in. When she had gotten there the line was out the door, but now it was shortened enough for everyone to be in the building. Michiru decided she would just wait for Nazuna in her tent, she was tired of just standing around waiting for her.

She felt a bit bad as she walked away so she sent one more text to Nazuna saying where she was headed, and then rushed off towards the tent. 

She walked in and flopped on Nazuna’s bed, scrolling through her phone for a little bit until she got bored, checking the time again. She kicked her legs in frustration. She just wanted to see Nazuna! It wasn’t fair that her fans were getting more attention than her right now.

“Michiru?”

Michiru immediately sat up, beaming when she saw her pink haired girlfriend walk in, wearing a cute, popstar-like dress to impress her fans. Michiru leapt off the bed and launched herself at Nazuna, embracing her in a tight hug, almost knocking her over.

Nazuna laughed, nuzzling her fox nose gently against Michiru’s making her hum contentedly.

“You took so longgg!” Michiru whined, taking Nazuna’s hands in her own as she frowned, turning her gaze away from Michiru.

“I’m sorry, there were more people than we were expecting to come… But I’m here now!”

She smiled and Michiru grinned weakly, happy that she would finally get to spend some time with Nazuna. She lead her over to the bed and they sat down, Nazuna cupping Michiru’s cheek. She smiled, leaning in.

There was a sudden buzzing and ringing coming from Nazuna’s phone and she halted, reaching into her pocket and checking who it was. She sighed.

“It’s Boris, I have to get this,” She said quietly, and Michiru whined, wrapping her arms around Nazuna’s waist as she rested her head in her lap, looking up at her with pleading eyes. Nazuna frowned and kissed Michiru’s forehead quickly, whispering a quick “sorry” before picking up the phone.

“Yes? Yes, we finished the signing… More? Boris, I can’t, I need to rest-”

Michiru clenched her fists in anger. Damn that Boris, trying to overwork Nazuna. She would definitely be punching some sense into him later. But right now, Nazuna was her top priority, and the frown on her face as she tried to reason with Boris filled Michiru’s heart with sadness.

She hated seeing Nazuna upset, even her frowning was enough to make Michiru feel guilty and like she wasn’t there enough for her. Michiru squeezed her arms a bit tighter around Nazuna, making her glance down at her before going back to talking to Boris.

“Boris please, can you just - hehe! S-Sorry, Boris. No, I don’t think it’s funny, I need a break, just for the rest of the day?”

Nazuna glared at Michiru, who only grinned back, having just pinched her side gently. Nazuna kept up her conversation with Boris, managing to keep her giggles in check as Michiru continued to tickle up and down her side, making her huff occasionally as she stuttered.

“B-Boris, can - can I call you later? I need to take care - Aha! O-Of sohohomething! Goodbye!”

She quickly hung up when Michiru focused on Nazuna’s lower ribs, poking and prodding at them as she continued to grin at Nazuna.

“Are you done now? Can you pay attention to your poor girlfriend?” Michiru teased, using both hands now to scribble along Nazuna’s ribs, making her squeak as giggles started to pour from her lips.

“Yehehes, I’m done! Stop it!” She snickered, squirming as she pushed at Michiru, who only laughed.

“Nah, you’re cute when you laugh~”

“S-So are you!”

“What-” Michiru was suddenly cut off when Nazuna started to tickle under Michiru’s arms, which were currently exposed as she had her arms wrapped around Nazuna’s waist. She shrieked and quickly let go of Nazuna to protect herself, laughing.

“Wahahahait! Th-That’s cheheheating!”

“Is not!” Nazuna teased, sticking her tongue out as she continued to dig under Michiru’s arms, who tried to wiggle away. Nazuna easily followed her, Michiru flipping onto her back as Nazuna started to spider her fingers across Michiru’s tummy. She yelped, squirming around as she reached to Nazuna’s knee, squeezing them as Nazuna squeaked, quickly pulling her knees away. 

Michiru quickly flipped the tables, jumping up with a roar as she laughed, pulling Nazuna down onto the bed as she dug into her ribs again, making her squeal.

“Michiruhuhu! Not thehehehere!”

“Not where? You mean here~?” Michiru teased, poking and prodding between each rib as Nazuna laughed loudly, trying to push Michiru away as she was attacked by Michiru’s vicious tickle attack. 

Nazuna shrieked loudly when Michiru wiggled her fingers on her upper ribs. She managed to keep her arms from clamping against her sides, and instead reached up and scratched her fingers behind Michiru’s raccoon ears.

A shrill noise echoed through the room as Michiru immediately covered her ears with her hands. Nazuna quickly took advantage of this and tackled Michiru, who yelped, Nazuna quickly burying her fingers under Michiru’s arms as she wiggled them around, Michiru arching her back as frantic laughter began to pour from her mouth like a waterfall.

“Not thehehere! Anywhehehere but there!”

“Not where? You mean here~?” Nazuna parroted, making Michiru whine.

“Dohohon’t copy meee!”

Nazuna only stuck out her tongue playfully as she scribbled under her arms. An idea popped into her head and she pulled one hand out of Michiru’s underarm, lifting up her shirt.

“Dohohohon’t!” Michiru yelled, wiggling around desperately to try and escape those cruel ticklish sensations. Nazuna only chuckled as she used her fluffy fox tail to tickle Michiru’s tummy, making her holler with laughter.

“NAHAhahahaa - Nazuna! Wahahahait, not the tahahahail!”

“This is what you get for interrupting my call!”

Nazuna continued to tickle Michiru furiously, Michiru’s laughter echoing throughout the whole room as the sheer volume of it threatened to burst their eardrums, but Nazuna couldn’t help but smile as she watched Michiru.

Her eyes squeezed shut, her nose scrunched up… She looked adorable, and Nazuna couldn’t help it when she felt her cheeks warm at the sight of Michiru. Her tickling slowed, and Michiru slowly caught her breath.

As Nazuna was caught in her trance of Michiru, she quickly turned the tables, pinning Nazuna down now and sitting on her thighs, Nazuna wailing.

“That’s not fahahahair!” She whined, kicking her legs around as Michiru squeezed her knees and lower thighs, grinning.

“All’s fair in love and war!” She said gleefully, and yelped when Nazuna weakly started tickling her feet, scratching lightly at the pads on her soles as she laughed. But she was determined, she wouldn’t lose!

Michiru kept up her own tickling as she laughed, Nazuna still tickling her pawed feet as she laughed as well, and neither of them was intent on stopping any time soon.

“Stahahahap!” Michiru yelled, crumpling over slightly as she kept kneading Nazuna’s thighs, making her shriek.

“Y-You fihihihirst!”

They laughed and laughed, several minutes passing as neither refused to give up.

“Okahahahay! I give up! Stahahahap!” Nazuna finally cried out, tapping her palm on the bed to signal for Michiru to stop. She did, and she quickly laid down next to Nazuna, resting her head on her hands as she giggled.

“I won~”

“Shush,” Nazuna said, though she was grinning. Michiru smiled and leaned over, kissing Nazuna quickly before nuzzling their noses together. Nazuna chuckled and rubbed her thumb on Michiru’s cheek, smiling.

“Sorry about earlier, I really do try my best to balance my fans and you…” Nazuna said, a sad hint in her voice as Michiru shook her head, frowning.

“Don’t be sorry, I know it’s difficult for you… Are you feeling alright now, though? You seemed a little down,” Michiru asked. Nazuna nodded, smiling as she laid next to Michiru.

“I feel much better after seeing you,” She said, and Michiru felt her cheeks heating up. She nodded softly and Nazuna giggled. 

“Thank you for making me feel better,” Nazuna said, and Michiru puffed her chest, grinning cockily.

“But of course! The great Michiru Kagemori is the best at cheering people up! And at winning tickle fights~”

“Oh? Are you sure about that?” Nazuna asked, wiggling her fingers at Michiru. Michiru backed up slightly, grinning nervously. Nazuna pounced and Michiru was back to laughing her head off, but she would definitely win this round too!

[curetapwater]

@ Sky, what was childhood like in the Land of Darkness?

"Heh, uh... Well, it's a lot smaller than over in the Land of Light. Or, at least my village is. Everything's really close together, everyone knows each other. You almost never see the sun, which isn't a problem when you burn easy like me.

Uh. My family's nice. I'm not sure how much they ever really got me, though. My brothers and I liked to play outside when I was real little, until we almost got eaten when we found ourselves near the woods, hehe. We weren't allowed to go too far away from the farm after that happened. My brothers decided this meant they'd play card games indoors, while I decided it meant I'd have to sneak around to play where I wasn't supposed to anyway.

My parents were never crazy about me doing stuff like that, sneaking out or just getting into trouble. Especially my mom. I think it's because I'm the only girl in the family but I think she kinda had... I don't know. Expectations? That I wasn't interested in. Like, she'd try to get me to wear dresses or put my hair in pigtails. I still don't think she really understands me, honestly. But she still supports me, so I can't really complain.

No, the hardest part of growing up on the Isle of Isolation was school. I've given up thinking there's anything I can do to change it, at this point I think kids just have some shitty impulses they need to take out on whoever looks like an easy target. And I guess the funny-looking quiet kid who cries every naptime was that target. And things got worse when we all started getting older, and I got sicker of the way they were treating me and started fighting back. And getting kicked out of schools for fighting back. And you can imagine how few schools were close to us, so it became this whole thing of heading further and further out from home everyday so I could go to school somewhere I hadn't been expelled from yet.

I, uh... kinda spiraled a bit from all that. Feeling misunderstood, I mean. It got me in a lot of trouble. Dated someone I shouldn't have. Broke some laws. Almost fell off a roof once but that's a story for another time. But. All things considered, I think I would've turned out worse had it not been for my music. My parents even let me use an old shed to play my guitar without bothering anyone else in the house. If I wasn't playing in there, then I was playing...

You know about Boris, okay? Do I have to talk about him?"

(Sky, they asked about you childhood.)

"And I answered."

(But not in full.)

She stares at the ground and tries to ignore the words coming out of her own mouth.

"Okay. Okay. His dad owned a music shop in the middle of town. My family had been going there for years, so when I was old enough my dad took me there to get my first instrument, a recorder.

But while he was busy, I felt... drawn towards the back, where they kept the rock CDs. I don't know what it was. I mean, I was a little kid so I was probably just curious, but. There was something else about it. Anyway, I was looking at the CDs and I accidentally broke one of the jewel cases. And... he came to clean up since he worked there. And of course I was crying because when I was real little I cried all the time. But he said it was okay. He said "you break it, you bought it" was store policy, that the CD was mine now. Then he asked if I wanted to test it out to see if it still worked.

It did work. Holy shit, did it work. That was the first time I'd ever heard the sound of an electric guitar, and I was in love from then on. He offered me guitar lessons. I accepted. You know the rest.

He left for the Band of Darkness the very next year, but he'd come back about every month, and when he did we spent as much time together as we could. Rock gave me an outlet, I think. When the world kicked me down I turned to rock because it was the only thing that really understood. He'd convinced me that he was the only one who understood. Whenever he came back from the war it felt like he'd done it just for me, that he cared about me so much that he could only be away from me for a month at a time. He seemed just as powerful as the music we made, and I wanted that. I wanted to be someone who could mow down an army, who stood up for herself and others. I wanted to stop being the one who got pushed around. I think that's why I was so set on joining the Band of Darkness.

So. There's a lot of baggage, I guess. But now that I'm not sure if I'll ever be allowed back home, I can't help missing it. Mom's cooking. Dad's flute playing. Sharing a cramped room with four other coffins in it. Even stuff like. I don't know, gas lamps? They don't use those in the Land of Light. But anyway. I think I should've taken a better look at home before I left. Since, you know. I think if I tried to go back to that then the Band of Darkness would be waiting there to take me out for treason."

[puppyluver256]

I love yours and pollyanna's take on Kamal's family, esp ur art of them! Is that all of his family, though? i'd love to hear more about them!

Aaaa sorry it took me so long to get to this, I had it open in another tab to work on the answer while looking at other things and then I just Forgot until I had to go to bed last night ^^; I would recommend asking Tav more about their part of the family if they’re open to questions, but I’m gonna do my best to summarize as a whole. I’ll link to available Refsheet pics of our characters when first mentioning them, though keep in mind that the images on Tav’s pages for Gardenia, Azalea, and Hadi are from when Kamal was born so they’re not up to their most recent appearance just yet. :3

Vipin and [Gardenia] are the earliest named members of the Bora family. They had [Azalea] and they were a very close family. Unfortunately, there’s a reason that the Bora kids all have a lot of fond memories of Gramma and almost never bring up Grandpa. Vipin unfortunately developed cancer and succumbed to it when Azalea was only 10. Still, Gardenia did her best to provide for the family when Vipin could not, despite all the sexist nonsense from randos who didn’t know their home situation, and she would continue to do her best to care for their daughter after his passing.

When Azalea was 20, she met [Hadi] and they fell very hard in love. Now Hadi’s parents and siblings, they Suck. Which is why when Azalea turned out to be pregnant, Hadi was cut off and kicked out. Determined to actually be there for his love and their kid, he married her and Gardenia became a substitute mother figure for her now-son-in-law.

The first of this generation of Bora kids was [Heather], the eldest daugher. She’s a stubborn go-getter businesswoman who likes baking and often makes way too much (which her coworkers are appreciative of hehe). Second eldest daughter was [Jasmine]. She’s an artist and overall pretty amazing :D

The third kid ended up surprising their parents by being not one, but two: Kamal and [Kanti]. You know Kamal so I’m just gonna go straight into Kanti. She’s a veterinarian and love animals, particularly cats. They’re identical twins, and Kanti came out as trans as a teen in the mid 70s, with her family supporting the hell outta her :3

Fifth kid and second-youngest was [Aspen]. He’s a cool skater dude and works at a roller rink cuz he’s cool. Then there’s the youngest, Ashish, though he mostly just goes by [Ash]. He’s a Big Ol Nerd and loves all kinds of nerdy stuff, and he’s a librarian as a result of some of his nerd interests being book-related.

There’s also those who entered the family later through marriage, adoption, and birth. Boris and Putunia came in through Kamal, of course. There’s also Heather’s husband [Morty], Jasmine’s husband [Lin] and their daughter [Violetta], Ash’s wife [Marcy], and Kanti’s girlfriend and eventual wife [Ava]. There’s also Aspen’s QPP [Kate], they’re basically considered part of the family as well. Ash and Marcy end up having kids in 2000, fraternal twins Luke and Leia, but going much further than that ends up getting into stuff that’s either not been talked about publicly or doesn’t have much/any design work associated so I’ll stop there hehe.

Ep. 2: “iF yOu SeE a VoLcAnO wHy NoT jUmP oVeR iT” - Marie

Marie

Fuckin volcano

Felix

I feel secure because Charlie is going to be the one to go. I just know it. If we go to tribal that is. They have barely spoken and I don't know them too well. Might be the same for everyone else here

Marie

Still salty bout the goddamn volcano

Marie

iF yOu SeE a VoLcAnO wHy NoT jUmP oVeR iT

Flint

I am really enjoying the banter with Jay and our tribe. Having a great time with this immunity challenge and chatting with Joey and Felix. Wish the other tribe mates were as active.

Brianna

Ya know coming into this competition i didn’t expect it to be me and Bradley as the last two people representing our team. I guess he’s gonna be more active now since his busy week is over so that’s swell but like. God I really wanna sleep.

Felix

To sum up, I feel like I am getting a deeper bond with Flint and Joey. They seem to be willing to talk with me most often. So, even if we do go to tribal I am safe for the most part. I just feel like I am liked in the tribe. Also, I am the one putting in the most work for the tribe, so I have that going for me. I just feel safe because of the work I have put in, but I don't want to give up just yet. If I can avoid tribal, then I will. According to both Joey and Flint, Suzy and Charlie have been very inactive. Therefore, it will be them on the chopping block come time for tribal. Joey thinks Charlie is more inactive whereas Flint thinks Suzy is more inactive. It'll just come down to what Cassie and I feel in the end. Doesn't hurt us either way since I think they are the weakest links on our tribe, especially Charlie. I don't think she put in enough effort last immunity challenge. Plus, she was totally inactive for this challenge that she auto-lost. Cassie missed this challenge too, but she at least did really well last challenge. If we go to tribal, I think I would vote for Charlie in the end since they are the person I feel least closest to. If only Bradley dropped, I could win this challenge for my tribe and cement my place as a valuable asset.

Lysandre

I am SO SORRY GIGI! I thought you were a returnee so I decided to snap! The comment looked pretty mean compared to the others,  which it was. The tribe, Marie and Kathleen, was wondering who said the mean comment and they believed it was David. I said yeah I think it was him as well. I love accidently painting a target in him and being a rat child.

Lysandre

Ok so I completely missed the challenge! I had no idea it was going to start early and I was at ine of ny sibling's events. I'm rooting for my team and hoping that my absence doesn't paint a target on my back. Also! I am loving being Lysandre! The writer in me is having a field day because I get to create a character and their background, quirks, and personality BUT THEN I GET TO BECOME THEM.

Flint

I couldn't outlast that second Immunity challenge. It was fun but my body couldn't carry on. I hope that Felix can pull through for Tuai! If we have to go to tribal I think it will be an easy vote, for me at least. I think that Cassie or Suzy should go. Cassie hasn't shown much initiative as our leader and Suzy isn't very social.

Bradley

This challenge is taking forever. Im the last one for my tribe. I dont want to lose cuz itll suck and havent been on that much so my soical game isnt too strong either. I just want to beat one tribe.

Cassie

I'm so proud of Felix for sticking it out for the tribe so that we don't have to go to tribal tonight. Plus we still have the numbers advantage, so that is always a positive.

Flint

So relieved we won immunity again! The Tuai tribe is unstoppable so look out! I'm a little jealous that Felix won an advantage but he deserves it and maybe with some buttering up he'll share the information with me.

Felix

Can you believe I have done THAT! I single-handedly won this challenge for my tribe, and got an advantage on top of that. I know why Raul and Kathleen gave it to me, though. If I won and people knew I had an advantage, I would have a big target on my back. It does seem that Kathleen and Raul are working together, so I have to watch out for them. Whether I tell this to anyone on my tribe is a different matter entirely. Though they all know I have an advantage. I think I won't be seen as a threat until later on in the game. I'm still an asset to them though this early on so I hope I would stay if we had to go to tribal in this stage of the game.

Raul

I really did not think I was gonna be able to compete but I got back into it was in the last 2 of our tribe. When it came down to 4 of us 2vs1vs1 we knew we needed to just knock out Bradley and he did that to himself. The best thing to come out was that Kathleen and I grew together plus I'm pretty sure I know the identity of Kathleen which helps cause I love this person. Also there was a individual advantage to be won and Felix had 0 while Kathleen and I had 2. Kathleen and I had decided that Felix could have it but try to work a little magic and make a relationship with him and a deal to work together if the opportunity arose. My smart self realized that that if we just gave it to him it would be announced we made a deal, so I said we continue the comp and just throw it that way it wouldn't be revealed what we were actually doing. This way it keeps this threesome possibility a secret. Whether it remains one or not we shall see. At the very least we aren't going to tribal. Hoorah, 1 point Raul the Snake 0 points survivor gods . . .

Kathleen

"Ohhhh bitch this ones gonna be different from my last one.

David? Trash. Will 100% be the one to go next tribal we go to if I have anything to say about it.

Marie? The sweetest and most opinionated 13 year old I’ve ever met. We love a politically aware teen.

Lysandre? *insert that lady Gaga gif of her going ‘gorgeous, amazing incredible’ ect*

And Raul? I’m sooo glad we were the last two left in the immunity challenge. We bonded AND made an underhanded deal with someone from another tribe. Can you say icons?

Hotel? Trivago."

Bradley

I could still potentially be going home. Since someone brought up the fact that they all talked how they havent talked to me a lot. They do appreciate me doing really well in the challenge and i have Apollo and Brianna wanting to work with me each separately. So hopefully i can avoid being voted off this round and just work on more social connections with them all.

Suzy

love felix but lowkey what if they are doing this for everyone

Boris

"Hello im STRESSED. I went from feeling like im in a comfortable position on the tribe, to the absolute bottom just in one day. Being forced to sit out of the challenge really fucked me up. I feel like the tribe is low-key bitter at me.

And on top of that. We have less than 12 hours to vote someone out. And NO ONE is really talking game to me. Im so nervous. The only person I connect with on a game level is Apollo. I have no idea where the tribe is leaning, but I have a sinking feeling its me.

God I hope im wrong and just insanely paranoid. "

Boris

"IN HAPPIER NEWS. I finally got something GOOD in the idol hunt? And it could be game changing!!!

I found 1 half of a super idol. It can't help me tonight but its leverage, and a super idol is the most powerful thing in the game, it could literally save my life in the future of the game. All i have to do is survive tonight, if I have to use the super idol piece as leverage, I will. "

Felix

I think the advantage is less about doing someone on the other tribe a favor. I'm telling everyone about it because, if I do that, it garners trust because they know I'll be open with them about any advantages I have. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to tell the truth to gain trust. The extra vote could also get me an ally on the other side. Let's see if this plays out like I hope it does.

David

Everyone is nice which makes it hard to decide who to vote off. Performance in the next challenge will base my vote and probably others.

Felix

I think my plan is working. Cassie offered me an alliance with her and Flint. I think those two are really cool so I think working with them is in my best interest. Also, I have connections with Mea through Raul and Kathleen. Hopefully, since I'm giving an extra vote to Bradley, I can gain a connection with him despite not having met him. I hope this plays out well! My social game seems to be climbing!

Felix

I have made my first alliance in this game! It's the Tuai Quad Alliance, LLC featuring Cassie, Joey, Flint, and I. It's basically everyone I wanted to work with since the beginning of the game! I think I have found myself in a good position on this tribe. To be honest, I'd like to see Charlie go first, but we'll see how this all pans out. I'm glad I finally have a security blanket though. Hurray for a good social game!

Cassie

I love being a part of the Tuai tribe and was happy to become the leader. Despite liking all of my tribemates, I've become part of an alliance. We're calling it the TQA, LLC. Maybe someday that can be trademarked, hehe. But the Tuai Quad power is strong with Felix, Flint, Joey, and myself.

Brianna

Well. We lost the challenge. I made a pact with Bradley that we should stick together since we were the last two people left in the challenge. I also talked to Apollo and Boris. I seem to be close to them. Boris mentioned making an alliance with me, him, Bradley, and Apollo and I would be totes down for that. So. Guess this will be pretty simple hopefully

Zest

I just cast my first vote and it was wild. I didn't know what to expect going in to tribal. I hope no one blindsides me because I am really getting invested in this game. I think while my performance in the last challange wasn't the greatest, I can still be a strong social player. Not sure if I'm feeling like Parvati or Hannah Shapiro. I need another few weeks to find out what kind of player I am going to be.

Charlie

I feel so bad for missing the challenge but once again not much new is happening.

Boris

"I have been putting in WERK todah to make sure I'm in the best possible position going into tonight.

I first was talking to Brianna, and she mentioned the only people she didnt wanna vote was me, Apollo, and Bradley. So, naturally, when presented with a majority of the tribe, I suggest an alliance! Ofc she agrees hehe, so now thats in the works.

On my tribe, the most likable people and those I get along with/vibe the most with is Apollo and Zest. I approach them both and plant that seed, another alliance of just us three forms. Im SO excited to be working with them, we bounce off each other really well and I truly think we can go to the end together.

So yeah, even tho I was worried this morning I think I placed myself in a near perfect position. I really don't think theres any way I leave tonight. "

Joey

unfortunately, i wasn’t the best in the challenge but at least i showed up! i was invited in by cassie to an alliance with her felix and flint, but it was obvious i was the last one asked. i plan on being loyal, but i need to let cassie play leader while i get closer with felix. slow and steady.

Thomas M

Not much, Bradley did well on the challenge but unfortunately we are in the bottom. Have been preoccupied with a big assignment so have not gotten to fully experience things in the last round at least. Am nervous of who is going to get booted, excited to see what's to come!

Marie

Wow, idol hunt hates me

Apollo

We lost, I feel like I’m getting played though, if this is the last you’ve seen of Apollo, it’s been a great run!

Brianna

I’m really laughing over Thomas’ first message to me after we lost 30 minutes before tribal....like...it’s a little too late sorry bud

Bradley

It looks like the vote should be Thomas which Im fine with. And theres an alliance of Borris, Apollo, and Brianna who want to make a four person with me which makes me really happy. Started off rocky in this game but with challenge preformance actually helped me a lot.

Apollo

Borris and Apollo? “Name a more iconic duo”

DARK

Here are a couple of my thoughts about Netflix’s “Dark”.

WARNING: Spoilers!

A lot of people don’t really see the reason why those kids had to die while using Helge and Noah’s broken time machine. I think this was Helge’s way of feeling like he had some sort of control over the timeline, just like many of the other characters (Jonas, Ulrich, etc.). But just like the other characters, his actions end up already being part of the timeline and ends up playing right into its hands. I also think that machine is giving us a bit of a foreshadowing of Noah’s true intentions, which I think is gonna be explored in the second season. I think that Noah wants to find a way to time travel without the need of the caves. And if he ends up becoming successful (as in, getting people to time travel without, ya know, dying), it could explain why the world looked like it was basically destroyed in 2052, which is where young Jonas travels to in the last episode. It was important since it revealed parts of Helge and Noah as characters.

Since the last episode, I’m now wondering what role Charlotte is gonna play in the second season. Now that she’s seen Ulrich’s photo in an old newspaper, she’s naturally gonna wanna know how he ended up there and start an investigation of her own. I’ll probably need to watch the show a second time to see if there are any hints dropped in 2019 that could possibly lead her to finding out about the caves. (Maybe she’ll discover the car crash that her dad was in where he tried to kill his past self? Hmm...)

There’s a parallel between Ulrich trying to kill Helge and not succeeding and Helge trying to kill his younger self and not succeeding as well. And these are two characters that we see go kind of mad about controlling and predicting the timeline. Since this show is full of parallels, I felt like this couldn’t be a coincidence. I admit this point is kind of weak since I don’t really have much evidence but I thought it was kind of a cool connection between the characters.

I have this weird feeling that Ulrich is gonna still have a key role in season two. Obviously all the characters are gonna have a key role in season two, as they’re all meant to continue to move the timeline along, but especially Ulrich. Because Hannah now knows the true identity of Aleksander/Boris, she uses this information to blackmail him into getting revenge on Ulrich. I think this kind of foreshadows some sort of meeting/crossing of Ulrich and Boris in the second season, but this seems impossible since they are in two different points in time. So there are two options: 1) Ulrich will escape prison and make it back to present time, or 2) Boris will somehow discover the caves and travel back to Ulrich. I also think Ulrich seems himself as somewhat of a savior, so I think he’ll try to continue to “heal” and “fix” different mistakes that people have made, not knowing that he shouldn’t be meddling with time in the first place. Also we can see he’s gone slightly insane, which is kind of exciting and can cause a lot of plot twists in the next season.

There’s this really cool theory on reddit that says that Noah could be Tronte’s illegitimate son, making him Mads’ and Ulrich’s half-brother. This could explain why Mads was the first person to be kidnapped and used as a time travel experiment- Mads and Ulrich were the golden children, the children that had a proper family. The theory also talks about how Noah was trapped in the cellar in the 80′s, when it was the blue room. That could explain why he went back to the blue room to test his time machine; it meant something to him. However, that point seems a bit weak to me since Noah doesn’t seem to be a particularly sentimental person who would use things and places that he is familiar with. But one could argue that he also loves tradition and the past, so that point could make sense.

I could be the only one, but I was kind of confused by Claudia towards the end of the season. Suddenly she appears out of nowhere with all this knowledge about the caves and how the timeline is supposed to go? Um, how and where did she find this information? Maybe future Jonas informed her about them? Or her old boss at the power plant who showed her the caves in the first place did? However she did it, it confused the hell out of me, haha.

WOW I THINK WE’RE ALL DYING TO KNOW WHAT THE HECK BARTOSZ IS GONNA DO IN THE SECOND SEASON. LIKE WHOA PLO TWIST RIGHT? But we already have an idea of what he’s gonna do: work with Noah, as shown in his last scene of the last episode in the car with Noah. I think Bartosz is gonna be Noah’s new “Helge”, since Helge killed himself in the car crash with his younger self. I’m not sure if this really goes any deeper, but that’s all I can really assume due to Bartosz’ minimal role in the unfolding of the timeline and all that.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I could sound completely stupid and may have missed out on a lot of details. If there’s anything I missed or any points that I didn’t bring up, feel free to reply to this post or message me, hehe.
