For the character asks: Jon, Peter Lukas, Annabelle Cane? (giving multiple suggestions so you can pick one in case you get the same character twice in different asks)

very kind of you to assume i get many asks :') THANKS ill do all of them u_u

[Send me a character and i'll tell you...]

(under the cut bc i love talking and this got long lmao)

Jon

First impression

he's a uptight prick with obvious favoritism for sasha and tim and i love him so! much!!!!!!

Impression now

my poor little mew mew hm................I've got a complicated relationship w/ jon bc i love him a lot, but i loved s1 him the most, and literally everything else just makes me really, brutally, sad ;_; The way he tries so desperately to cling to his humanity and how other characters just call him by the title imposed to him makes me wanna cry

...also he just cares so much ;_; i cry

Favorite moment

probably his interactions with georgie at the beginning of season 3!!! From s5 id say when he killed not!sasha, it felt vindictive ù_ú

Idea for a story

Dhfhdh im p basic when it comes to him ngl, either jon/tim/sasha friends to lovers or jon and desolation!tim or *something*!sasha trying to stay as human as possible, together 😔 (or just any of them living and coping together in s4 n s5)

Unpopular opinion

Im just not a fan of monster jon, at all! He's not the type of character that i enjoy seeing having a corruption arc unfortunately!! It just hurts!!! (and this Is from someone that Loves corruption arcs!!!)

Also i really hate moth jon imagery??? For not particular reason, moths are pretty, but i still hate it u_u AND THE ASSOCIATION OF GREEN W/ JON (or the beholding in general!) I CANNOT STAND IT!! i know its bc of the tma logo but guess what! Its wrong! Purple jon rights!!!

ALSO ALSO the so called pining he had for martin just.... didnt felt like that at all! i have Many feelings abt this!

Favorite relationship

either georgie in s3, or sasha!!! i love how he always praises sasha in her research in s1 and even thought he's at his driest & sharp Trying-To-Project-Professionalism-And-Skepticism she still rolls into his office, interrupts him mid statement to banter w/ him abt pronunciation n stuff and its just Normal, like that speaks volumes of how comfortable they felt around each other! they were friends gdi! the moment he realizes she died and then everytime the not!them mocks him w/ her death makes me wanna break smth q_q

im not even gonna mention tim bc even though i love their relationship It 👏 makes me👏 very 👏 sad 👏

non shippy and also staying strictly canon, i love his relationship with melanie!

Favorite headcanon

sometimes i think abt that one hc that hes really good with arcade games bc he lived near the coast and i smile bc thats cute :) also hes a trans man 💙💗🤍💗💙

Peter

First impression

Mystery evil captain man!!! Fog?? I LOVE him :)

Impression now

I STILL LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! Hes an asshole and has a lovely voice and smile and hes not, hes not Dumb but also he's far from the whooooa evil lonely influence he think he is (played like a cheap fiddle). He also makes me sad in ways i cannot and wont describe, and its a shame that he died cuz he was the best part of season 4 😔 rip you beautiful bastard man i still miss you </3

Favorite moment

"It has blood on it" "thats Leitner's too :D". Also when martin was angry abt idk, breekon? Jon going into the coffin? Cant remember, but peter was like I said id protect the institute, that guys not my problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Idea for a story

dfgdfg i have..... a petermart story that dealt with the different flavor of loneliness they both had, half smut half genuine meta of both of them and theorization on the branching of an Entity & how their powers manifested in other people...

basically, peter thinks hes hot shit when it comes to loneliness but gets overwhelmed when martin accidentally projects his feelings abt *fic's plot stuff* on him, its fun stuff!

Unpopular opinion

people either paint him like an absolute devil or an incompetent idiot and hes neither of them! hes an asshole who loves being an asshole but far from the worst monster in the show and he tried to do a clever scheme TWICE on his life and 1. while it was established that any of the rituals wouldnt work singularly the Silence was still a pretty clever attempt if it weren't for gertrude! and 2. well... he tried to manipulate someone petty and formerly supposed to be a web avatar, again not his fault, cant call him stupid for trying dfgdfg

i Do think hes kinda pathetic in some sense considering his backstory, but more out of personal pity than anything else

Favorite relationship

Canonically speaking him and martin! The pull and push of them was The best thing about season 4! Peter being a quite dangerous avatar and martin, beautiful and scared and kinda feisty, confronting him every chance he gets, peter doing his best to manipulate him and martin letting him believe hes succeeding (even thought, he is, partly). They're fascinating characters to have side by side

Favorite headcanon

Partly canonically speaking him and mikaele salesa :) they do bets together! They're lonely sea men! What else could you possibly want?

Also non shippy i like thinking abt peter's and simon's relationship but thats entirely non canon ♡

Diversity wins! The heir of the lonely is a gay man!

Also I think as every rich household(?) the lukases had many paintings and peter as a kid saw the ones w/ sailing ships and imagined sailing far far away from his family. That and seaman aesthetic fucks, which is why he always has the same vibe going on as an adult. He does Not know half of the things he'd need to know to have a ship though but hey he's rich and thats all he needs

Annabelle

First impression

thats a horrible psychological experiment they're making there D:

Impression now

THATS STILL A HORRIBLE EXPERIMENT AND ANNABELLE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER............. idk! she makes me sad in the same way jon (and to a degree, peter) does! to be a living puppet for the thing that traumatized you as a kid and that later kinda killed you / is the only thing keeping you alive, to be devoted to it scrambling to believe in a higher reason for all of it to happen bc to believe otherwise is............. anyway. i love her, and i feel so so sorry for her

Favorite moment

her "maybe ive never been to the beach" at the end of ehr statement (that i fully believe its bullshit but, yknow, i love that she adds that), most of her convos with martin, her "i told you this might happen" "you did, you did" with mikaele

Idea for a story

i think a lot about her having conversations w/ either mikaele (platonically) or sasha (shippy) and their different points of views and treat with her making her doubt the web a bit

Unpopular opinion

listen, listen, i know it sounds like im woobifying her i Know it but reading the scraps of her story how can i Not feel sorry for her? when the story framed her very similar to jon? the supernatural childhood encounter that gave them arachnophobia and the subsequential joining with an Entity against her will? the fact that both the story and the fans treat her like a spider woman always sat very very bad to me, and the fact that the story itself always framed her like a villain (considering All The Other Characters that get the benefit of the doubt) was extremely disappointing

Favorite relationship

her and mikaele!!!!!!! wish we could have seen more scenes of just the two of them!!!!!! *singing* he is her daaaaaad, hes her dad! boogie boogie boogie! (ok no but like... their offscreen friendship is my favorite thing of season 5 ;_;)

Favorite headcanon

Sigh i dont know...i still think she's scared of spiders which make her current existence harder but thats a sadcanon :/ umm...... i love the idea of mikaele and her cooking together from time to time! Mikaele showing her some plates he used to eat as a kid as he talks stories about his life :) and she listens and sometimes tells a story of her own! its been so long since he had a quasy normal conversation! its weird yet nice!

#i say the same phrase many times but basically best parts of s4 are hands down peter. lonely!mart. peter and martin. melanie's arc. thats it #best parts of s5 are jon killing the not!them. annabelle. mikaele. annabelle & mikaele. annabelle and martin. thats it #dhfjfj sorry half of these are a bummer but you asked me... characters i have a complicated relationship with... i love the three of them s #statement ends #THANKS i love... talking

The Women of “Hustlers” on Making “A Female ‘Goodfellas’”

Constance Wu, Keke Palmer and Lili Reinhart discuss playing exotic dancers and getting rid of the “chick flick” label

Lorene Scafaria’s Hustlers fictionalizes the true story of a group of exotic dancers who lured wealthy Wall Street men into unknowingly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars at their strip club. The film, based on journalist Jessica Pressler’s 2015 investigative New York magazine piece, “The Hustlers at Scores,” stars Constance Wu as Destiny, a new dancer struggling to pay rent for the apartment where she cares for her grandmother—until she meets Ramona, played by Jennifer Lopez. Ramona is a single mom and the most successful dancer at the club—but this changes with the market crash of 2008. When the recession hits, Ramona enlists fellow down-and-out dancers Destiny, Mercedes (Keke Palmer) and Annabelle (Lili Reinhart) to help her swindle men into spending big on a night out, with the men forgetting most of the previous night’s transactions come morning because their drinks were laced with ketamine and MDMA. The film’s cast is rounded out by Cardi B, Lizzo and Julia Stiles, who plays a reporter modeled after Pressler.

While some opening weekend attendees might be in it for the salaciousness that a “stripper movie” promises (it certainly does deliver on that front), the heart of Hustlers isn’t so different from any other gang film. The women at the center of the film are bound together by the need for something greater than what they had to begin with, and the wish to make their dreams for themselves and their families a reality by any means necessary. WSJ. spoke with Wu, Palmer and Reinhart at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills to talk about working on their own version of Goodfellas, and what men really want from movies.

Hollywood depictions of sex workers don’t generally give women much agency. Was it important to you that Hustlers empowered them?

Keke Palmer: I liked that it was balanced because it either goes one of two ways. Either it’s like super, super sad, sad, sad or overly glamorized. When I read this, I felt like it was a balance of both. You had those moments where you thought it might be glamorous and you had those moments like, “Damn, this sh*t is tough.” And so whenever I’m looking at a character or a movie—no matter what the job, no matter who these people are—I want to see balance. This movie gave me that.

Constance Wu: Usually we see one archetype of a woman who is a sex worker or a stripper. And yes, we have racial diversity, but we had diversity in so many other ways—the way you look, the backgrounds of these women and also the different ways that they decided to pursue this job, to make their ends meet.

Lili Reinhart: We all came from such different backgrounds and we all ended up in the same job. So it’s not just this archetype —“Oh, trashy girl from a broken home ends up being a stripper.” That’s such a stereotype. That’s not the case. Women are supporting their children, or supporting themselves or their families, or their families kicked them out. I think strippers will hopefully enjoy our film.

CW: I hope so. Because we tried to humanize them as people. Other movies don’t—they try to portray them as objects or people to move the plot along for the story. We treated all of our characters like humans who have a similar job. That’s only one part of you, your job.

How did the all-female ensemble cast change the vibe on set?

CW: I think it was really freeing. Because it’s different if there’s only one spot for a woman. And then you think, “Oh no—what if I get kicked off?” But when it’s all women, I didn’t have to try to be sexy for guys. I didn’t have to try to pretend like, “Oh I’m one of the guys, I’m cool.” I just got to be myself. And [Jennifer Lopez] set the tone for that pretty well, too, because she’s just so cool.

LR: I’m so happy that this is a movie about women told by a woman, because nothing disturbs me more than a woman’s story told by a man, because it’s through the filter of a man. And so the fact that this was a women’s story told, written and seen through the lens of a woman was powerful.

KP: One of the first things that [Constance] said was, “It’s like a female Goodfellas,” and I’m like “damn right!” Lorene was really serious with the DP on getting those specific shots, those specific angles that you only see men have. It was just like, “Man, girl, thank you for those details. Not only does the script have heart and soul, but visually you’re going for this, you’re giving us a cinematic look. You’re making these women look cool!” That was all specific to show us in powerful positions.

LR: Not even sexy, but powerful. It’s not a slow-motion strut starting from the heels going up, showing the body. It’s the women themselves.

KP: It’s how they would usually do the Wall Street guys. It’s power.

CW: Like sometimes people say “Oh, it’s a woman’s film,” they’ll think that it’s less-than. But I think Lorene did a really good job of choosing a crew who treated the film with the respect of something they were really passionate about, not as like—

KP: “Girl movie.”

CW: Yeah, I mean there’s that term that people like to say: “Chick flick.” And I’m like, “Oh, does that mean every other movie in the world is a d*ck flick?” But that’s just a word used—chick flick—to demean a movie that is about women, and then d*ck flicks are just “flicks.”

LR: Just movies in general.

How is a story where you’re playing out, essentially, a love story with another woman different from one with a man?

KP: It hurt my feelings more when all that stuff went down with Constance’s character and Jennifer’s character.

LR: It’s more devastating.

KP: Way more devastating. I feel like people aren’t going to be pleasantly surprised to see the depth and dynamic of these characters and [that] this story is not just something eye-catching for you like, “Stripping! Fun!” It’s like, “Oh wow, these characters, I care about them. I care about this story.”

CW: It almost hurts more than a romantic thing because it almost feels more pure of a love, because there’s not the transaction of sex. The feeling of being forgiven—it’s a good feeling because it’s accepting that we all mess up, and that we’re still people who are worthy of love. And Jen—I couldn’t have done any of this without [her]. That was really just a two-way street; just the fact that she was so open and caring.

Was there anything challenging for you to do in the film?

KP: I think every girl secretly in their mind is ready to get on stage and see if they’ve got what it takes. I think most people would expect [dancing] to be the most challenging. But I think even the shyest person, if they had the opportunity to play a role like this or be in a situation like this—it’s like “Hell, if I’m going to do it somewhere, I might as well do it in a huge film.” I think those parts were exciting. It could be seen as challenging, but what I was excited about was to sit in this sexy place that I’ve never really sat in before. I don’t really think of myself as a sexy type of chick. And so it was cool to play with what that would look like for the camera.

LR: I feel like deep inside, every woman feels the need to get on a pole at least once. I think you grow up and you’re like “Oh, that’s what sexy is.” And you just want to try it. And truly, [to Constance] I’m sure you took probably more pole dancing lessons than I did, but it was just fun. And you’re like, “Damn, I look good!”

CW: I was just thinking when you said like every woman wants to get on the pole—at first I was like, “No, I don’t think so.” But then I was like thinking about it, and why that might be true. And if you think about it, these women are owning their sexuality, which is something we are shamed for, starting at puberty, we’re supposed to make ourselves—you either have to be the Madonna or the whore, and you can’t win either way. You’re not sexy enough; you’re too sexy. And I think when you’re on a stage and you’re dancing and you’re just owning your sexiness in the way that you want to do it, I think that is a thing that inside probably every woman—person—wants to do.

Do you think anyone who goes to see the film solely for the “stripper movie!” factor will be disappointed?

KP: Look, Jennifer gave you the show that you’re looking for right in the beginning. She gives you what we never thought we’d see. She gave us the most spectacular performance that I have ever seen a stripper do. I’ve gone to a lot of strip clubs.

CW: Me too. And I’m going to say something real cheesy right now, but I do believe it’s true: People might say they’re looking for t*ts, but I think they’re looking for heart. And they’re just saying tits because it’s a less vulnerable thing to need, to say. It’s cooler and more macho to objectify women. But at the end of the day, all humans want—

LR: They relate to stories about love.

CW: —is connection.

KP: Without a doubt. Every guy that I’ve watched The Notebook with has loved it.

Ranking All the Fears by How Much I Vibe With Them

Including an additional fear scale for how much I’m actually scared of them--because no one asked.

The Eye. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I do not learn from mistakes and that’s a promise. My entire life is voracious media consumption. I asked my doctor if I could watch my own surgery (the answer was no D:). 10/10 would OwO again. Fear scale: Elias/10. I’ll overshare myself, no need to compel me.

The Spiral. The creativity! The endless possibility of shameless lying! As a writer, this speaks to me. My secret hobby is building in Sims, so I do enjoy a good door. Would redecorate for sure. Fear scale: Helen/10. It would absolutely terrify me, but I’d either get used to it fairly quickly, or embrace it and get yaoi hands.

The Vast. The fandom thinks it’s sexy--and they’re right. Something about looking at a brewing storm gives me such unadulterated joy. And the ocean? Inherently erotic. However, I’m also very scared of heights and almost drowned twice. Fear scale: Jon/10.

The End. I am terrified of the idea of non-existence, and how inexorable it is. But there’s something profoundly comforting about it, too, like standing atop a mountain that bends to no wind. If the Vast is on the cover of Vogue, the End is an avant garde instagram model. Fear scale: Michael Crew/10. I’m scared and I love it.

The Lonely. The fog aesthetic appeals to me on a primal level. However, I’d like to think that as a person, I’ve moved on from self-imposed isolation (thnx Mr Therapist xoxo). Fear scale: Martin/10. I’d send it a strongly worded letter and it’d run away, afraid of confrontation.

The Stranger. As a former actor, I couldn’t rank it lower. I delight in sending my friends uncanny memes and straight-up disturbing rubbish. I don’t feel any kind of way about taxidermy and plastic, but the whole garish circus thing is giving me delicious schadenfreude. However, fear scale: average statement-giver/10. Much as I inflict it on others, I’m also terrified of it, and keep expecting a creepy plastic smile to meet my eyes when I wake (thanks Jonny).

The Web. I like spiders, actually, and in this essay--just kidding, but I could. I’m not above having a drawn-out philosophical debate about free will, either. But most of the time? I don’t care, Annabelle. I do things because they amuse me. I don’t care if it’s free will or not. Stop calling. Fear scale: Dog guy/10. Leave me alone, I’ve things to do.

The Dark. We’re heading into the ‘meh’ territory folks. My wardrobe is all-black, and their ritual sounds metal. But, just like pure colours, it only gets so deep. Fear level: Basira/10. I guess I’m scared, but won’t lose sleep over it. RIP to the blanket guy but I’m different.

The Buried. Anti-capitalism is the saving grace of this one. Trapped in a job you can’t escape any time soon? Mood. Other than that, I enjoy spamming ‘DIG’ on the server, but that’s about it. Fear level: Buried avatar from that direct statement/10. If I ever were in that situation, I’d be scared, but the thought of it inspires nothing.

The Hunt, the Slaughter, the Flesh. I lumped them all here because I have little to say about them. Jared Hopworth do not interact. While war scares me as such, I find Slaughter statements to be the least engaging. Would play fetch with the Hunt, preferably with Jared’s bones. Fear scale: Tim/10.

The Corruption. My first rented flat had a terrible roach infestation and I never recovered. The idea of being ‘infested’ with friends and family, of being one with them, frankly unnerves me. I need my metaphorical and literal personal space. This is the real Buried. Fear scale: Nope/10.

The Desolation. This one just makes me angry. I love you Agnes but your cult? Your Entity? Absolute bitter dumbasses. The very concept of seeking out happy people to destroy makes me wanna bludgeon something, but above all, it makes me smugly sad for you. Luckily for everyone else, you’ve got exactly zero braincells. Fear scale: Gertrude/10. Pathetic.

Do you ever make headcanons/flesh out any of your Choices MCs? If so, would you tell us about one of them? :D It can be from any book, or more than one if you want!

Oooh nice!!! Okay I have names and mini backstories for all my MCs (though honestly, they follow a fairly standard “their parents are dead/disconnected from their lives and they’re only children” to make up for the fact that MOST of the time their families are completely not mentioned in the stories lmao

I’m gonna go with my TRR MCs - I have 2 but I have 3 in mind:

Kali Kapoor - my very first TRR MC, Indian, was definitely all in for Liam until she saw Hana and then was all in on her until she went, “wait, Maxwell loves me? Hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah.” A very very bubbly person who gives off airhead vibes but also is super smart - probably the most competent of all the MCs in terms of being diplomatic and dealing with people. I think her parents have both died and she doesn’t have any siblings so it’s really only Daniel the Waiter who she catches up with from back home. Kali has basically adopted herself into the Beaumont family and is dedicated into reminding Bertrand that they’re family and calling Olivia her best friend. My favorite TRR MC tbh <3 <3 <3

LI: Maxwell, Daughter: Annabelle

Pets: Chance the dog, Lady, puppies Jax & Luna, and a cat Willow

Jamilah - my current replay MC! She’s half-Caribbean, half-Indian character who’s also bi like Kali, but definitely more into dating women and 10000% romances Hana. Very independent, has a single mother who raised her but she’s admittedly not very close to her (they don’t have a bad relationship; they respect each other and they love each other, but they’re also just Not Close and it’s not a big deal in their life it just is what it is). Has a very close group of friends who she is constantly talking to off-screen. Definitely wasn’t into Liam but wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity to go travel with a prince lmao. She’s a person you don’t want to cross, and she doesn’t forgive easily - so as much as it pains me, her relationship with Madeline and Olivia aren’t exactly going to be lovely throughout the series. Her (1) brain cell moment comes whenever she sees a hat because she just cannot stop herself lmao. The bluntest of all my MCs, appreciates the Beaumonts but doesn’t really care to think she’s part of their house. Slytherin through and through and really great friends with Drake; I’d Die For Her.

LI: Hana

Pets: Cheddar the dog, a horse (?), will adopt all other pets

Melody - a future MC after I finish my Jamilah playthrough; she’s going to be probably East/SE-Asian (I think Malaysian?) and ofc, also bi. She loves and talks to her family often but they’re actually in a different country after emigrating a few years ago so between living in NY to now being in Cordonia with multiple assassination attempts, well, she doesn’t see them as often as she used to lol. She’s an absolute sweetheart and has been all-in for Liam since day 1 and Hana is her best friend! She’s kind and basically made to be a queen, but if you threaten the people she loves she’s not going to back down or sugarcoat her words.

Aaand that’s it on my TRR MCs!!! :D

#trr #janie gets asks #this was so fun i never get to talk about my MCs!!!#trr mc #mc: jamilah #mc: melody #mc: kali kapoor #thewickedandthehufflepuff #janie's MCs

i finished listening to the student run of six and here’s my thoughts and opinions that absolutely no one asked for:

ex wives:

not much of the song was changed which i did like. i’m not used to having so much dialogue and lyrics being changed but this was from 2017 so i understand. the only real lyric/sound changes that stood out the most were the little verses each queen sings about their life. the biggest changes i heard was aragon’s and boleyn’s. aragon’s had almost all of the lyrics changed and i really liked hers. i kinda like the old verse she said better. boleyn’s was more sped up with the tempo and beat which i loved as well. ex wives in general was just as good as it is today and i really like it!!!

no way:

so the student run’s version of no way is almost completely different then it is today. almost all of the lyrics (besides the ending parts) are changed but i’m not complaining because i LOVE IT!!! it sounds so good and i really liked the original lyrics, i don’t think they were all that accurate to aragon’s actual life but they sounded so good mixed in with the slower tempo/beat. i almost like the original no way better!!!

don’t lose ur head:

okay wow Wow WOW do i LOVE the original dlyh!!! so almost all of the lyrics are the same as today’s dlyh besides like a few but the way ashleigh weir sang boleyn just gave me the PERFECT idea of how i perceive boleyn!!! the vocals of the rest of the girls match perfectly with pitch and with the tone they’re trying to get across in the song and i just adore it. also the music backing tracks?? REALLY DIFFERENT BUT I LOVE IT!!! it sounds like at some parts there’s an electric guitar but i don’t think there is one (don’t quote me on that i don’t know my instruments) but like. the instruments. the background music. i wish they would’ve kept it. also ‘FAAAST FOOOWARDDD’ is my favorite part of the entire song i love it. dlyh was spectacular and i really love the part where anne goes ‘henry’s out every night on the town’ and the rest of that whole verse. i also really love the parts that (i’m sorry for saying this) were famous on tik tok cause when the rest of the girls chime in they match the tone perfectly and just. UGH. i love the original dlyh that’s all.

heart of stone:

the little part before hos was so heart wrenching :( the way holly musgrave explained how excited jane was for her son to be born made my heart ache ugh. so right off the bat the lyrics are different but they’re SO pretty. the way holly sings is beautiful. i really really love the original lyrics. they’re so beautifully put and give off such a good meaning to what jane felt. holly has the perfect voice for jane and sung hos with such passion and thought. it sounds like she’s reminiscing on her life and thinking of everything that has happened and i can perfectly visualize this song. all the lyrics (minus the chorus) are changed but i really love them and i kinda wish they kept some of them but!!! i still love the current hos but the original is mesmerizing. holly hit every note perfectly especially the belt at the end and when the rest of the queens come in?? *CHEFS KISS*

haus of holbein:

NO ONE WANTS A WAIST OVER 17 INCHES. haus of holbein was amazingly chaotic like always. there wasn’t a lot of lyric changes but there was a lot of insane sounding and i could hear them jumping and stomping around which made it even better. that’s it, i love u hoh. also the part after where they go through the queens till they pick cleves....”sHe LoOkS LiKe a HoRsE” “...a SEXY horse!” hands down my favorite line throughout the whole show WHY didn’t they keep it.

get down:

tilda wickham’s voice is so powerful. the way their (found their pronouns!) get down sounds is just so...pretty? but so powerful and scary and intimidating at the same time? i love how deeper their voice is compared to the rest of the girls. like when they were at the ‘you.’ ‘you said that i tricked ya.’ like that whole line of verses? the rest of the girls go up like three octaves and chime in and i ADORE IT. but tilda’s voice is SO good for the role of cleves, their voice reminds me of genesis’ and courtney’s. i LOVE when tilda started interacting with the audience. basically what they did was said ‘when i sing ‘i’m the queen of the castle, you guys will repeat it back to me.’ and that’s exactly what they did with the audience until the last ‘get down you dirty rascal’ and tilda and the rest of the girls started chanting ‘get down Get Down GET DOWN G E T D O W N’ and i love that so much. i wish they kept that little part in because i love the interaction with the audience:( not a lot of the lyrics were changed, i think it may be a bit faster than the current get down but i like it a lot!

all you wanna do:

so the very start of aywd i don’t know if i like. i was NOT expecting it to sound this different but it’s okay i guess? i think the background music threw me off completely. BUT annabel marlow’s voice is absolutely perfect for howard, she captured the character very well and her voice gives me big aimie vibes. i really like how there’s added in claps from the other girls and i really like the line ‘hold me tight inside your arms’ (i don’t know what she says before that, it’s hard to understand) a lot of the lyrics aren’t changed, a few here and there but the biggest change is the background music, tempo, and beats. it’s slower and more drawn out but i think it keeps throwing me off idk. another lyric i like (but don’t like) is ‘grab ahold of these, please’ (i THINK that’s what she’s saying?) i like it cause it goes well with the entire song but then again :( kat :( overall i really adore annabel’s voice and it matches perfectly for my concept of kat and how i see her character but the original aywd is a little eh for me. also there was no breakdown like sam, aimie, or courtney (mack) does.

i don’t need your love:

shimali’s voice for parr is ASTONISHING. she’s the perfect voice for parr. her voice reminds me of grace’s and maiya’s. i REALLY love this version of idnyl, when all the girls come in at different parts and repeating after her. ‘do we need it?’ ‘we don’t need your love!’ YES! GIRL POWER! WOMEN! FEMINISM! this song gives me a perfect visual of how the queens look coming together when they realize they’re better than henry. i love the original version. everything about it is perfect. the trumpet (i think that’s what it is) the clapping the stomping ITS ALL SO GOOD!!! i think idnyl is my favorite from the student run!!!

six:

okay so the beginning when the music starts sounds straight out of an 80s pop song and i’m HERE FOR IT!!! it sounds like keyboard + electric guitar mixed into one and i love it!!! then the girls start stomping and clapping and hyping up each other up when one of them starts singing their verses it’s so rad!!! there’s also like a tambourine??? i loved all the instruments used throughout the whole show in general and i wish they kept some of the original ones:/ there’s little to no lyric changes besides cleve’s and i’m really glad cause i love six so much and the song is generally my favorite besides aywd. six was so cute and you could hear how happy the girls sounded!!!

overall:

the student run is fantastic and i think everyone needs to listen to it. if you hear how the dialogue and lyrics have changed since 2017 without a doubt you’ll be just as shocked as i was. each of the actors sound like the perfect roles for the queens and their voices matches up with how i see each character ESPECIALLY boleyn, seymour, howard, and parr. i love the student run and overall it was really interesting and different to see how it used to be and could have been!!!

#i doubt anyone will read this but #heres my hot take #six #six the musical #six: the musical #catherine of aragon #anne boleyn #jane seymour #anne of cleves #anna of cleves #katherine howard #catherine parr #student run #west end #musicals #broadway

see below for thoughts on The Puppeteer

- !!! oooh yes give me all of the Melanie/Daisy interactions!

- THERAPY! I’m so proud! Look at her! I really really hope it doesn’t blow up in her face, don’t want her to be punished for seeking help, but also this is TMA and I’m not sure we’re that lucky. hopefully whatever way it is bad in is not connected to the therapy which is actually good and helpful?

- Jon can still lose control of his compelling then - I’d thought he had more control over it now, as he’d seemed like he was asking questions without compelling people before, but it’s slipped now - I suppose we’ll see!

- oooh, this is the special effects artist mentioned in Creature Feature

- ... Gabe could be the Gabriel from Sculptor’s Tool, but that is a lot of power intersections for one person - there’s Web, I’m getting some lowkey Stranger vibes from him (or maybe just more Web? idk, he is the puppet and not the puppeteer), and then Spiral. And this is RQ, sometimes people just Have The Same Names. that said. I love dating monsters content, especially between separate powers.

- oh of course, can’t have people mistaking harvestmen for spiders. wish my arachnophobia Wouldn’t.

- ... well, that’s A Lot. Glad it makes him happy, I suppose? and hmf. I’d say that escalated quickly but tbh from “lifesize puppet house!” to “man is part puppet now” it isn’t too far a step at all really.

- Annabelle! :D really enjoying having more of her, Thought for the Day is one of my favourites (I have So Many Favourites)

- Jon. Jonathan Sims. Do not watch the creepy murder films. Yes! Thank you, Daisy.

- And here’s Jon, just immediately changing the subject away from the Lighter. I hope Daisy caught that, and that it’s not exerting some lesser influence over her. Looking forward to that final reveal of what the spiders want, we’ve been wondering for so so long. So long.

- Jon, we are fond of you, monster or otherwise. A few people in-universe are too, and putting “just another” in front of an ultimately unhelpful word you’re using to refer to yourself doesn’t change that! So there! Don’t die!

- Oooh, does this mean that Peter’s not using Elias’ old office? I assume Martin is in Peter’s office, and Daisy didn’t find him there, so unless he’s in the Lonely to do his paperwork...

- okay, turns out I love Daisy (as opposed to just enjoying her character which is what I was mostly doing before), I’m really liking hearing her trying to be not the brutal, violent cop that she was, and her joking with Jon is excellent

- Jon reaching straight for Martin as the reason he’s lonely, argh my heart (also! my latest worry, not really relevant to today’s episode but never mind, hopefully not a thing because it doesn’t involve the Extinction at all (I will worry anyway), but I’m worried Peter’s going to use Martin as someone touched by Beholding and Lonely to let Lonely through by hijacking the Watcher’s Crown)

- drinks! team bonding! the good content! we’re blessed! it’s all going horribly downhill soon, isn’t it.

- ??? Helen??? HELEN!!!! hi Helen! and argh now I am trapped, I always want to hear more of Helen and am very excited she has a TMA character now and I want to know more about them, but if we hear more of Melanie’s therapy it probably means the therapy is on some level Bad and argh. But also Helen! :D

D&D3 probable endings A) Yusuf x Chambers x Annabelle agreement,MC and Ernest getting ready for their honeymoon and saying goodbye to everyone. Briar either pregnant in good terms with Harry after a lot of struggles and Miss Sutton x Harry engaged B) Annabelle x Harry agreement,Chanevi running away together and MC announcing to LI she's pregnant or wants to produce an heir for Edgewater and Briarcaster finally going on honeymoon together and Henrietta tolerating us Which one is better?

I literally have no idea how they’re going to handle the side ships + Annabelle’s marriage. I don’t know why but Annabelle confirming she doesn’t want to be engaged to Harry gives me some bad vibes, maybe I’m paranoid. I WOULD HOWEVER LOVE SUTTON X HARRY. Miss Sutton deserves the world. Briar being pregnant could happen but they’d have to not make it a big deal depending on whether or not Briar got married . Henrietta tolerating us.... ooh Mr Richards escaping and becoming king of England is more likely than that.

They’re both really good endings I have a feeling things will wrap up nicely and we will all be a big family to a certain point.

From what I’m seeing I believe that by the end we’ll have :

-Harry definitely married or engaged ; to who? I have no idea.

-More flashbacks with Harry. Edmund, Annabelle, Henrietta maybe even more flashbacks with Papa Earl (RIP)

-Some good sibling love....for Edmund and Harry throughout the book. Maybe Harry tells off his mother for pretty much frying Edmund (which I do understand she has a right to be angry). Perhaps by the end Harry will call us his sister while smiling at us.

-Chanevi, they’ll probably make a few appearances I don’t think we’ll have to pay any diamonds for them. I sure as hell we won’t have to pay for Annabelle to get married to one of them because that would be a new low.

-Briarcaster, will definitely not have as many scenes as they did in book 2 if anything I believe at some point there will be a diamond option (oh yes we love them) to go after Marlcaster after he breaks down or something and the free option would be let Briar handle it / leave him alone. We probably will see Briar and Edmund but they will not be together (yeah I’m sad). They might make like one appearance together as a couple but other than that the most we can get out of them is Briar telling us about how good he is in bed.

-Briar and Harry being on good terms. That does depend on whether or not Briar’s married to Edmund . If she’s not they don’t even need to know each other. If she is, they probably won’t care for each other but Harry will know Briar at least. Depends if you believe that’s “good terms”.

-We will have a wedding ! Hooray! Honeymoon? Perhaps more maze sex to top it off .

-Pregnancy for either Grovershire women? Again I think the most likely option would be Briar but I don’t think they’ll do it.

-Henrietta and other big bads? She’ll realise that she’s done everything she could to get rid of MC so she’ll be bitter and rude but she won’t be in our way. As for Gideon I think it would be wrong for him not to show up at some point.

My expectations are not high, we have a wedding to plan, a destroyed Ledford Park to fix, Henrietta manipulating an already annoyed Harry and Gideon running around. God knows what else I’m missing.

#phew that was long #asks #desire and decorum

we need a close up pf both of them to see if they are identical 🤨 / feels like it would be too much tbh 😅 a necklace (supposedly) is one thing, it's mostly hidden anyway, and we've seen him wearing it in daily life. But a flashy ring worn for a event...makes way more sense to me if he wore it to match the whole "rich European daddy" vibe, especially since you can see how many people from D&G team Michael tagged. They might have a certain vision of this or that clothes on celebs they collab with. We can't attribute everything in his appearance to Annabelle now (even though i love the idea of her giving him these silly costumes he wore in Greece + necklace theory).

Yeah i was just saying that only two close ups would solve the case but of course I highly doubt we will ever get them.

I laughed a lot at the “silly costume” bit lmao

Episode 1 - "Time to put on a bra and take some selfies." - Leigh

Episode 1 saw eighteen players, some fresh faces, and some veterans arrive on the Indonesia beaches, ready to play and ready to win. On a somewhat quiet Obor tribe, Leigh/Trent bonded over the age difference on the tribe (with a cunning plan reliant on using the word ‘lit’) and Anabel/Trent begun to form a bond that would survive the test of time.

On the Cahaya tribe, Matt/Jess feared the casting of one another, and Julian arrived plucky and ready to avoid another prejury experience, determined to improve. Owen/Stoner quickly formed HOS 22: Bermuda, and set to work spreading their connections across the tribe, forming at trio with Julian.

After a decisive victory in the Scavenger Hunt, it was revealed the returnees would have to send two returnees to the other tribe as “infiltrators” casting a sole vote. In an attempt to force the result, Julian went “offline”, in an attempt seen-through by his fellow tribe mates, but one that was ultimately successful, with Owen & Julian sent over as infiltrators.

At Obor’s tribal council, Evan quickly emerged as an easy vote, for his minimal challenge contribution. Two key alliances formed, a newbie majority alliance of Trent/Chris O/Leigh/Anabel/Lorelei and a girls’ alliance of Lorelei/Anabel/Leigh, with Anabel armed with an idol to boot.

As expected, Evan was sent out unanimously, but not before Julian trashed on the Cahaya tribe during tribal council... in a tribal seen... by the Cahaya tribe. With Evan out, the torches still inspiring such hate, and the infiltrators returning... that drew round one to a close.

MATT

first confessional give me idol?

also hi Jones

OWEN

okay so im walking onto the boat.... my hair is thinning, my skin is getting wrinkly, im ancient at this point. nonetheless im back for like the sixth time. or seventh, honestly who can keep track anymore. i see these like cute little new people. ANABEL's vid is AMAZING gay icon, lorelei legend likes pokemon mystery dungeon, Leigh is near chicago, like... i literally love all these new players but then i realize NONE OF THEM WILL BE ON MY TRIBE SKADSFJH. instead? im stuck with crazy ppl. there's julian who i voted out premerge in the season I won, and Matt who was in my most recent season nnn but NOT the matt I worked with in that game. and of all people CHRIS STONER LMAO. to be fair, chris isn't that bad bc I know he'll work with me hopefully but also I know he's a good player and wouldn't hesitate to cut me out. thank god olivia and jess are here tbh. omg and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.....a furry shows up. WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK lmao I remember foxx back from the old old days and he seems scary :(((( good news is julian said him and isaac haven't ever gotten along and that isaac has voted him out twice :') so that might be good. and i'm fairly sure stoner and jess would have my back rn i just need to talk more to them. but for real, as soon as there's a swap or something if I survive that long? bye bye returnees :) i dont see myself getting very attached to anyone at the start so ill just do my best to ride out this beginning and maybe have some fun

LEIGH

I'm looking forward to seeing how long our tribe chat is just "Hey *Tribe Member's Name*!"

I think it could go on a while.

OWEN

chris: ditching u for the other stoner tho chris: tumblr needs an all stoner f2... 7:23 PM me: thats ok im ditching u for the gay girl from the first post me: but for now? u and me <3 7:23 PM chris: deal stoner and I rlly did speak this into existence....... it'll happen

LEIGH

So this tribe has literal children on it. 15, 16 years old. I might have to backstab ACTUAL CHILDREN! How do I even fit in with them? Trent suggested we could buy fidget spinners. I said maybe yoga pants and a crop top? There are people here BORN AFTER 9/11!!! What the fuck I didn't even know you could be born after 9/11 and be out of kindergarten. What year is it?

EVAN

Just met some other castaways, they seem pretty chill.

FOXX

What's up. So this fox has returned after an eternity of a hiatus with more grey in his muzzle and hopefully some self-awareness to go with it. I played some pretty solid games in the past but after taking a long time lurking and sort of forgetting Tumblr Survivor Crooks asked if I wanted to play despite not knowing I have played before. That's how old and irrelevant of a has-been I am. Back from the dead. I'm glad my star has faded and I can go in with a blank slate. My biggest concern is that I am not on my anxiety medication so my social interactions, especially on call, will be a lot more stilted and I'm terrified this will impair my judgment but we'll see. Right now I'm not trying to come off as a huge strategist. I made an intentionally crappy intro video, made fun of myself, and just tried to be funny without coming off too weird/desperate etc. Almost like I'm not taking this too seriously. However, already I'm noticing a patterns in how people on my tribe are. I have no fucking clue who these mammals are. People will have extensive conversations about people, twists, running jokes, etc and I'm totally lost. That hiatus really did fuck with my ability to ingratiate myself with this community. That will be a huuuuge advantage coming to dealing with the newbies since I can leverage that to not seem so threatening but right now I think I'm doing a fair job being friendly and making people laugh. I hope. God. So my thoughts on my tribemates thus far: Stoner: Vaguely know who this guy is. Aptly named. He's clearly blazed as hell but I can tell he's bright and likable. Says "oh shit" a lot and he seems like depsite his facade he's probably someone I can work with. Isaac: We talked about Overwatch a bit and he seems nice but he's not coming on my radar too strong. Jess: Definitely made a fairly strong impression on me since we're similar ages, Francophone, and we bonded over our mutual detest and hatred of furries and then I calmly sneak in the fact I am a furry an hour later and holy shit I was trying so hard to not bust into tears. She's funny and likable and seems like she's someone I could work with. Matt: Talked a bit about me coming back. Very little in group call. Michael: Talked a fair amount about D&D and made some fun Upside Down jokes. Seems like we have a lot in common but him being a different time zone could prove hard to keep up with. Being the outlier on Time Zones is playing on Hard Mode. Olivia: Love her! We bonded over animals and she seems like a total sweetheart and I definitely wanna share pics of my cat with her some more! Owen: We talked a bit about literature and it was fun. Definitely seems intelligent and he's someone I know a bit about from Olympics. In an ideal world I'd want to work with Stoner, Jess, Olivia, & Michael but everything in on fire. Also, no luck on the idol so fuck me I guess

JESS

So... first night has been interesting? I was going to do your typical "first impressions" confessional but... FOXXX or whatever the fury's name is.... is playing too hard too fast. Am I being a Paranoid Patty and reading this the WRONG WAY entirely? Possibly. HOWEVER... It's been less than 5 hours since we were thrown into this hell hole of a game (The hosts are lovely individuals but we all know this is about to get insane) and he's telling me if I want to make a move that he's my guy? Ummm.... WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN OUR FIRST IMMUNITY YET? I'M NOT THINKING MOVES RIGHT NOW? I BARELY CAN REMEMBER YOUR NAME!

MICHAEL

https://youtu.be/Swisjdq1R4s

OLIVIA

Have I befriended a furry???????? Is this real life????? Is he actually a furry or just really in deep on this joke? Why are there so many Dylans in orgs? Also fucking goddamnit I like EVERYONE HERE I just wanna be friends with all y’all damn. All of the newbies are so adorable and seem so excited and unknowing to the pain that’s gonna come :’) Annabelle especially like my wig flew with that intro! I wanna meet them all. Also wtf is with the torches I WANNA KNOW ALREADY! Anyways that’s all I’m excited for this season. Owen and I renewed the o alliance :-) and Jess seems cool as hell I really clicked with her and the furry. Michael seems sweet and I already know Julian from Mykonos, the absolute crackhead. Real sweetie tho hopefully we’re friends. I hope I’m not coming off as too insane I was so nervous on the phone call with the tribe :( it was so fun but I felt like every time I said something it fell flat I felt so awkward abhhhhhahshsjaj. Anyhoo yay! New season!

Should I write the rest of my confessionals in japanese? Neko. Boom

JESS

So coming into this game with a TS under my belt is different... I still have no expectations whatsoever BUT I do know how HARD people go for in these games and I'm planning to go just as hard. The first night was wild. Everyone on my tribe except for Matt and Julian were lively on the tribe call. Everyone seemed pretty cool and super... out there.. I think Isaac might be the one to watch on my tribe. He's been around the block and knows most people on my tribe (new and old). WHICH IS WHY.. I'm going to try my best and get super close to him. I need to make sure I'm not disposable to these "older players" and as asset to these "newer" players. I just know need to cool my jets on the whole socializing bit in the main chat (Yes I know it's literally day 1). I want to be as irrelevant as possible so no one thinks I'm a threat but no one really wants to get rid of me either. Gotta focus on those INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS. Hopefully these other players with more TS's under their belts become bigger shields than me because if not... yikes on yikes.

ROB

I like everyone so far. Evan is giving me a few red flags because he’s only giving me one word answers, so i might take that into consideration when voting.

FOXX

We had a very fun group call with the tribe last night. Definitely haven’t laughed that much in a while. Love my tribe thus far so I hope we can keep the good vibes going. Jess & Stoner are people I feel like have talked with me the most Nd Olivia, Owen, & Michael are also friendly so I think I have options. One thing I’ve noticed is how casual and sociable this tribe is. Nothing is more frustrating than a tribe full of overserious gamebots (*cough* Selwyn *cough*) but it’s a group of funny and chill people. It’s gonna be a great game!

OLIVIA

I love these hosts 🙂 HATE the idol system but honestly it doesn’t change much I’ve never gotten an idol before and probably never will so it won’t change my gameplay lmao

I like Isaac a lot too! Forgot to say. But I’m also a little wary of him because I know he’s very experienced

JULIAN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKDvx7VxRC8

ANABEL

well. yesterday i found an idol on my second guess. and made two new friends. so yesterday was great. today was bad. i outed myself. my mom heard me tell my eyebrow lady that i was gay. this is a sad confessional and i wish i wasn’t so loud. im real fucking sad. sorry. but at least i have an idol and some friends.

LEIGH

Time to put on a bra and take some selfies.

I'm glad I shaved today for that tattoo selfie.

OLIVIA

There’s an alliance I’m not in isn’t there

Why am I so FUCKING awkward

ANABEL

im so fucking good at survivor like... good lord. trent and i are like best friends already (see, i knew this would happen, i always meet a nice old usually straight man and we become friends, it's like the hallmark of my survivor experiences) and we came up w a plan where i am gonna try and seduce evan and rob and make them my lil minions so im gonna lie to them and tell them that im a cheerleader bc that's hot right?? so ya my womanly charms will be utilized to their fullest potential. go me.

MICHAEL

https://youtu.be/aAqEUHoyy78

LEIGH

Can we talk about how bullshit it is to have "Lipstick in your tribe's color" when we're yellow and they're RED? Honest to god might as well have "Lemon in your tribe's color" to make it fair.

Alex coming in with bold capslock "MAKE SURE EVERYONE ON YOUR TEAM HAS SUBMITTED AT LEAST ONE THING" ... Just DM Evan directly my dude.

OLIVIA

Feeling much better about this game today than I was last night I think I was just spiraling 🥰 we’re doing really well on the challenge and I hope we win!! Two people messaged me saying I’m doing great on the challenge and idk how to respond. Just tryna make sure we don’t lose I will NOT be the first vote out. Newbies go hard on scavenger hunts but I go even harder 😈

LORELEI

Ok so! I'm super bummed that obor lost the challenge, I really thought we would win! Now we have to get rid of someone and it sucks but I feel like we all know who it has to be. It's not even personal, it's just the fairest thing and the best thing for our tribe. Also, alliances are forming! I like Anabel, Leigh and Trent so I'm with them but I'm gonna try to connect with everyone so I'm not on the outskirts. I hope that the boys haven't formed an all boys alliance bc if they have, then the girls could be in danger. That's it for now!

STONER

guess I’ll follow Alex crook’s rules... https://youtu.be/ndsfCdjtcQI

Not much, about to sleep! https://youtu.be/v12a2AbklVw

MICHAEL

https://youtu.be/4inKBNkg87M

JESS

It's 2:30am so WHY NOT post ANOTHER confessional? Am I right? Honestly, we won which I'm BEYOND THANKFUL for. I hate tribal and I can now at least say I wasn't first boot. THANK GAGA. I'm just really trying to solidify things with Michael right now. I think out of everyone on my current tribe I can honestly see myself making a run at this game with him (at least up until merge). I offered him the prospect of sharing idol clues (it's literally the only collateral I have at the moment) so hopefully this doesn't bite me in the fucking ass. Other than Michael I was kind of hoping to somehow get closer to both Julian and Matt (plot twist I know). Matt has hosted me before and it's no secret he is a founding father of the "I Hate Jess" Club. However, these two seem to be the odd men out right now. They aren't overly socializing with people so there's a high chance they'll be taken out if our current tribe loses. HOWEVER.. I see potential numbers in them. So I can't let that happen. As of right now both Foxx and Stoner seem to be the ones to watch out for. I just can't let them think or know... that I know that about them. Stoner gives me mega "I say the same things to everyone" vibes. He's clearly playing a strong social game so far. I just need to play dumb and ensure that he thinks he can control/trust me. Honestly, as soon as he doesn't see value in me I have no doubt he's gonna cut me. Foxx on the other hand, just seems like he's playing too hard. He's another guy who I strongly believe is going to drop me as soon as I have no value to him. I'm just going to have to have to lay low and be dumb. Owen scares me shitless. He's giving me PTSD from my last season because homeboy is playing a strong contender game. He's definitely a pick to win. He's another person who I'm going to have to try and pretend I'm under their spell. Am I playing too hard too fast? I'm not entirely sure. I'm just going to slow my role a bit and see what happens

MATT

What’s Up? WHAT’S UP?!?!?!? how dare you ask me such a ludicrous question. Alright so first real general confessional of the game here. I wanna eventually try and record some video confessionals, but that’s if i have the time. but for today, we’re good with a text. So starting off the game on the Cahaya Tribe, which consists of entirely returnees. So right off the bat it makes nervous bc i’m really not around much in the community. Yeah i’m in a few VL’s and i played once before, but i really don’t know anyone. So being the odd one out for that reason was a real fear for a little bit. Looking at my tribe, there are a few names that stood out the most to me. Owen stood out bc we both played Kuwait, and even tho we never met each other, we still have that little connection. Chris motherfucking Stoner is here too!! Chris is such a chill dude. we played together once before and i voted him out pre swap. But that game was so long ago, and i really don’t think he cares (i know i dont). So i’m looking forward to reconnecting with him. Jess is also here!! Jess and I had met previously because i hosted her in Celestial Komnata, and we had some rough misunderstandings there. But months have passed and I know that I am well over it bc i frankly don’t care. But i feel like she still probably cares which will not be good for me. Michael was the last person that stood out to me. Not because I know him, or know of him. But because he’s the only Non-North American in the cast, which means if i can stay up late and socialize with him, he might favor me over other When i looked at the other tribe, i think the only person i know is Anabel? We played together once, i hosted her, so we have somewhat of a connection that if we swap together, i hope that works in my favor. So on the first night of the game, i was very busy with Celestial All stars premiere, so i didn’t get to talk as much as i would’ve liked. which resulted in me telling jones on call like 5 times that i’m gonna be first boot. But the first night, i talked with everyone (to some degree) except Issac bc i forgot Issac was here. The torch twist thing i have no idea what it’s going to be and it worries me. My first thought is that it somehow would result in a third tribe bc there were six torches. so someone would light a torch and be placed on that tribe. But it’s too early to figure out what they even mean and i’m sure as the game progresses.

LEIGH

Woooo so what's happened. Well, we lost the challenge and it wasn't even close. I haven't looked at the spreadsheet to see the final scores but I feel like Me, Trent, and Anabell did the most work. I talked to a few people last night and put Evan's name out there cuz I know most people are too scared to say a name first and I feel comfortable enough about my position to be the one to say a name that most people should agree with. A mutual alliance formed between me, Chris, Trent, Anabell, and Lorelei. Within it, an all girls 3 alliance formed which I'm super happy to be part of. I'm sure Trent will be paranoid about that sooner or later so hopefully Chris and I can make him feel confident. Trent is sharing idol guesses with me so I'm hoping that means I'm like the closest person to him right now. I like the number of options I have so far.

I feel like Facebook might be falling out of style so maybe these youngin's don't even have it or aren't familiar with Facebook ORGs. The only other people here who know my history as far as I know are Foxx and Chris, and I hope neither of them bring it up. If I can stay UTR that'd be nice. Also, I think I need to stop capitalizing letters/using punctuation if I wanna fit in with these kids. Did I already confessionalize that? Not sure.

Apparently Lorelei missed the HII thing day one haha oh well. I'm compiling guesses from me, Chris, and Trent. Hopefully I'll get them from the girls too. I'm not showing the girls' guesses to Chris though. I don't think he'll be mad at me for it. We gotta play close to the vest sometimes yo

TRENT

So far I think the game is going alright. My tribe is incredibly quiet for some reason but I guess that isn't too bad. I made a connection with Anabel and Leigh pretty early on. Decided to suggestion and alliance and both we in so I added Chris and Lorelei so we had a majority. This is the alliance I wanted from the beginning. I wanted the older people to stick together and then add in one young one. I think it's a pretty solid idea. Ive been messaging both kenny and dylan as well. I don't want an alliance with them, but I would like for them to like me and want me to stay in. I also think im getting along pretty well with the two infiltrators right now. Julian was spilling all kinds of info about his tribe to me this morning and then me and owen connected really well. Hopefully this will help me in the future if there is a split soon.

OLIVIA

Jess was hinting that her, foxx, stoner, and I should get together and I said we’d make a nifty cool group. A NIFTY COOL GROUP WHAT THE FUCK IS A NIFTY COOL OLIVIA

ISAAC

This twist can become SO detrimental. And I’m so MAD Owen went over there first because that bitch is unbelievably charismatic. Hopefully it paints a bigger target on him but like it’s whatever. I like my tribe. We seem chill and I seem to vibe the most with Olivia and Jessica Messica. Foxx is cool. Julian is....Julian ig. Matt has yet to talk to me so that’s a wig ig. Michael seems nice but ngl I get kinda bored when I try to talk to him? He seems very gamebot-y which could be frightening but idk he’s not my biggest problem atm. I’m terrified of Owen - he’s unbelievably charismatic and has the ability to twist people around his finger so like I’m gonna keep my eye on him and I’m not gonna let him out of my sight. With that being said I do wanna see him live for at least a little while for meat-shield purposes. Anyways I hope I do well this game but 👀 I have a sinking feeling.

KENNY

So yeah.. it seemed like a pretty laxxed day and Evan was the vote. How true is that? Idk but I have to trust strangers. But just heard he through my name out like 20 minutes ago, with less than 3 hours to go. So I just hope everyone’s being honest 😭

OWEN

what’s up? Everything :’) I couldn’t help as much in the scav hunt as I liked because I was living my life. But thankfully we won anyways bc my tribe kicked ass! I still contributed some and I made sure to keep talking to people. I still love olivia, and matt has been fun to talk to. Don’t rlly know why but foxx seems hard to get to know. And not big into michael rn either. I think I will stick with Julian and chris, hopefully can pull in jess and olivia to do something if we lose. Chris mentioned that both him and jess DO like foxx so we will see.... The main thing is that this twist worked out perfectly for me!!!! I couldn’t call when we were decided and I REALLY wanted to go. Thankfully I was able to take advantage of the majority vote thing and pretend like I wasn’t online hehe and by some miracle I got picked to go. MEANT TO BEEE and let me say I was right, I do love this tribe so much more than my own for some reason. Trent is great, Annabel and I are talking like I wanted, the Chicago girl and the Pokémon mystery dungeon girl. It’s so good over here, but the biggest surprise has been chris o. I really like him and could see myself working well with him if we swap. The only thing is that Julian said he was sketchy sometimes..... hehe so down the road I might have to tell chris o that Julian is after him :~) but I don’t need to snake too hard yet, for right now I’m a crocodile lookin like a log. Vote should be easy on Evan from what I’ve heard but if it changes? I’ll be living for the drama!

LORELEI

It looks like Evan is the consensus. I feel really bad though because it's not his fault. He tried to plead his case with me by saying that he wasn't the only one that was inactive, but that doesn't change the fact that he contributed the least. I know it's the fair thing to do but I feel bad about it. Voting out people is so not fun, I really hope we win the next challenge so I won't have to do this again.

EVAN

I’m pretty sure I’m fucked. I’ve been trying to get people to vote Kenny but idk fuck

KENNY

“I know I’M voting Evan = I might be voting Evan but I know others are voting you”. Or am I being paranoid

JULIAN

MATT

i feel like i did pretty good on the scavenger hunt. i managed to scoop up a bunch of items that were left over and some that were high points. so i do feel good about my performance and think i pulled my weight. Speaking of pulling weight...Julian is...there. I think he only submitted one item which was the Vine. I mean i get you have work and are busy, but like...most of us were the same? even issac who was celebrating his birthday did more. after challenge results we got on call in the tribe chat (olivia, chris, michael, myself). and we were talking about the infiltrator twist and the challenge results. We agreed to have myself and Olivia go, but we needed 5 for a majority. Julian shows up and says he “might wanna go tbh”. and then disappears. We’re on call laughing bc we wanna submit this and not randomize it, so someone who isn’t here gets forced to go. BUT JULIAN won’t talk in tribechat even tho we’re all like, “hey we’ll take turns and you can go next time.”. but no. Julian is only talking in olivia’s pm’s and she’s telling us whatever he’s saying. eventually the hour is up, and julian got randomized to go. that fucker strong armed us into randomizing and he still went god damnit. I think that call was good for my game because we were just chatting for like 1.5 hours about the game stuff and people. After michael/chris left the call it was just Olivia and myself on call and we stayed on for another hour and a half(????? ish??? probably less i can’t remember). But that was a nice call and i think helped start to solidify a bond. Olivia is someone i can see myself working with in this game. Same goes for Michael and Chris. I feel like that call group was pretty natural and we got along really well. I’m too nervous to initiate any kind of alliance talk, but i know it’s gonna have to happen eventually. i’m sure alliances already exist on the tribe and i’m obviously not in them. I think for starters, i need to work on conversations a bit more, because they are somewhat weak right now. My goal for the future is to work on olivia, michael, chris and owen. Those are the people i feel most good about. Foxx is cool but idk it seems hard to gel with them. Julian is cracked and i hope he’s our first boot. and the four of us on call forgot issac was on the tribe so that’s not good for him. i think i’m in a decent position for now, but i’m not gonna count my chickens before they hatch (i think that’s the saying idfk)

New Year, New Ideas

Well … we’ve just done the traditional Xmas de-clutter, and I feel lighter already! Three big bags to the charity shop, plus nicely organised shelves and cupboards. And three pals who have gained posh Parmesan graters and a few other kitchen duplicates too! So now we can go onwards with some new looks for 2019 …

Delighted to hear and see all the inspirational news regarding Pantone’s announcement of their Colour of the Year for 2019 – it’s Living Coral 16-1546. It’s a step onwards from blush pinks, coppers and red gold, yet isn’t too scary for early adopters. Consequently, Crown Imperial’s Alumina Copper and Zeluso Black kitchen caught my eye. Love this kitchen, it’s a completely modern look, but with softness and warmth. Perfection. Take a look at the whole collection here.

And now for something completely different … Schmidt’s new Colour Mix concept – which allows designers to use two or three different colour combinations within one cabinet – has endless potential. Heights and widths are extremely flexible too – enabling each kitchen to be highly individual. New depth base units are 62.5 cm, base units are available in heights from 52cm to 91cm, and widths can be bespoke at no extra charge, avoiding the need for filler panels. We’re rather keen on Madras, shown here from the Caneo Loft collection. Look here for masses of inspiration if you’re thinking about a new kitchen for 2019 …

Back to the Living Coral concept, and this has to be a gorgeous and subtle colour choice to enhance all those coral, blush pink and copper shades that are going to be even more popular over the coming months. These are Cracklelux Verdone tiles from the Renaissance Collection by Craven Dunnill. The crazed finish uses a special printing technique and semi-transparent glaze, which offers a beautiful hand-crafted vintage character. Retro appeal with contemporary specification, and perfect for both kitchens and bathrooms.

This astonishingly beautiful new surface is reinvented terrazzo, by designer Robin Grasby. It’s a new marble-based surface material, which is produced from materials that are 87% recycled materials from the marble industry – mixed with a small amount of resin and named Altrock. Have a look here for other colour possibilities.

One of the easiest ways of adding a non-permanent splash of colour – which can emphasise a current trend or perhaps calm down an over-bright scheme, is to use a roller blind. (Which of course can be rolled up out of sight if you want a change of look!). However, we’re pretty sure we won’t want to hide this one away! It’s the Coral cordless roller blind from Swish, starting at an affordable £26 for a 60cm w x 170cm d. Take a look here for more colourful ideas.

Clever with Coral … add just a little touch with these three shopping ideas … From left; for a lovely afternoon tea vibe, treat yourself to the Tile print tea cosy from Andshine (beware though, there are so many other gorgeous things to buy you’ll end up spending all your Christmas money …); centre; this gorgeous Task Lamp in Goldfish Orange is great as a bedside spotlight or could sit out on the work surface to brighten up a dreary winter corner. It’s from Annabel James. Right; you can’t go far wrong with a new cushion to emphasise a colour theme; this is the Lagoon Coral cushion from the Lochs & Lagoons collection at Arthouse.

If coral doesn’t float your boat, there’s still all those beautiful teals, jungle greens and blues that we’ve been enthusing about for months and months. So just a little reminder regarding the new paint range from Marston & Langinger, possibly better known for their amazing conservatories and glass houses, but now launching and re-branding their paints as M&L. Finishes cover all eventualities; chalky interior matt, interior eggshell, masonry, full gloss, exterior eggshell and primer. Shown here, Deep Teal and Sage. Go on, get that paintbrush out!

Practical Matters … I’m not the world’s most enthusiastic ironer (anyone who knows me is now rolling their eyes upon reading that sentence …) but I am rather taken with the new Turquoise Funky Iron from The Funky Iron Company. It also comes in Red and Black, has a large 450ml tank and anti-calc system. I’ll let you know how I get on with it next month!

And finally … just give the shops a week or so to clear their Christmas clutter and then we can be back to normal shopping activity. As ever, I have some tiny little suggestions, all from the super-fab homeware department at Sainsburys. Not all these items may be instore just yet, wait a couple of weeks and then embark on a spring spruce-up! From left; Oriental Double oven glove, Stockholm tray, and Urban Paradise glass candle with lid.
