I uh...I know the vote is still on going for goldenbridges but...here!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sam shifted around on the bed. Cold sweat sticking his hair to his forehead and the shirt to his back. Slight tremors ran through him near constantly making it almost impossible to lie still.

Just a fever. That's what Deadman had said when he came to check up on Sam earlier. Just a fever. Easy for him to say when he wasn't the one lying there feeling weak and burning up, sweating in places he didn't even know was possible. He hoped the medication he'd been given kicked in soon. At least enough so he could finally fall asleep.

"Now what do we have here?"

Sam's eyes snap open at the oh so familiar voice that now filled the room. Higgs was standing at the end of the bed, hands on hips. A golden aura seemed to surround him. Even his eyes seemed brighter, more predatory. Sam tries to sit up but both his wrists are now somehow cuffed to the bed rail. He feebly pulls at them but it's no use, they don't budge an inch. Even if he had been at full strength it would still be pointless, they were designed to be unbreakable.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Sam rasps out. Higgs shifts his weight a little, unclipping the golden skull mask to sit it on the table.

"You tell me Sammy, this is your damn fever dream". He folds his arms across his chest, giving Sam a look as if this was the most normal thing in the world.

"How can I be dreaming if I haven't fallen asleep?" Sam frowns, trying to ignore his slightly chattering teeth and piece together what the fuck was going on.

"How could I be here during the day with that weird dead gu-"

"-Deadman". Sam interupts defensively. Higgs sighs before continuing.

"Yeah yeah, same thing. Whatever. But as I was saying, how could I be here when they are checking up on you constantly right now? How else could I cuff you without you knowing it? Think about it sweetheart. Fever dream, nothing else to it".

Sam hates to admit it but Higgs was making a whole lot of sense. Not that he planned on saying it out loud any time soon.

"Besides, just because you're having a random ass dream doesn't mean we can't have a little fun".

Sam starts getting a tad more nervous as Higgs smirks, climbing onto the end of the bed. Crawling languidly up over Sam like a lion stalking on the Serengeti. He swallows thickly as Higgs is now straddles him, fingers lightly teasing up and down his torso.

"You'll end up getting sick too". His voice is a little quieter than usual, tender almost. Higgs leans down close to whisper in his ear. "Just a dream Sammy, I ain't gonna catch your germs". His tongue darts out to lick up Sam's neck and jaw. "Huh, fever sweat tastes different. Who knew?"

"Stop". Sam whispers, breathing a little ragged as Higgs starts slowly rocking their hips together.

"Make me", he smirks. "Oh wait, ya can't!"

Sam opens his mouth to argue but Higgs silences his with a single finger placed on his lips.

"Shh Sam, I'm just trying to make ya feel better". Higgs rocks his hips a little faster, leaning down to kiss him. Sam feels like he's burning up again and no longer because of the fever. Higgs' lips trails down over his jaw to his neck, teeth nipping playfully at the sensitive skin, sucking harshly on that same spot, determined to leave some kind of a mark. If this was the kind of fever dreams he had then Sam wanted to be sick more often.

"Let me take care of you, please". Higgs pants in his ear. Sam looks unsure for a moment, then again none of this was real so what did it matter if anything happened? Sam bucks his hips up as much as he could.

"Do it".

Higgs kisses him harshly on the lips before pulling back with a look of glee.

"You won't regret this!" Higgs shimmies himself back a little, enough to give him room to "work". He then shifts Sam's clothing to free his long thick member. Higgs licks across his fingers, making a little show of it before wrapping them them tightly around Sam's shaft.

"You'll forgive me if I ain't too keen on getting a mouthful of sweat. I know I don't usually give a shit but you ain't usually shit like this either". He starts to slowly pump him up and down, enjoying the way Sam's eyes fluttered closed, mouth hanging open slightly.

"Thought this was my dream?"

Higgs picks up the pace, thumb flicking over the swollen shiny tip.

"Sure is but unfortunately for you this ain't a lucid dream, so shut up and enjoy what ya get".

Sam smiles a little, finally relaxing into Higgs' touch. He must be dreaming if Higgs had been right twice.

A raspy whimper leaves Sam as he feels Higgs kitten licking his tip, teasingly suckling on it as his hand works him faster. His hips attempt to rut up on their own but Higgs easily holds them down with his free hand.

"Patience Sammy". Using his elbow to now hold down Sam's hips, he brings his free hand across to cup Sam's balls, squeezing and playing with them, encouraging Sam to let go into his waiting mouth. He spits on the hand working Sam, starting to pump more quickly.

"Higgs..." Sam hisses out, trying to give him some warning of what was about to happen. Higgs suckles harder, hand working Sam a fast as he could. With a soft groan Sam cums into Higgs mouth, body feeling a lot more lax than it has done the last few days.

Sam opens his eyes to find Higgs completely gone. He sits up in bed only to realise his wrists aren't cuffed anymore, clothing still in place. His cuff still closed around his left wrist, light blink merrily in the dim room where it always is. Wow...he really must have been dreaming. At least he wasn't shivering anymore, still felt a bit like death though. Sam gets out of bed, stumbling over to the small sink to splash some cool water on his face when something in the mirror caught his eye. There was a darkening red bruise forming on his neck where he had dreamt Higgs lips had been...

Well, damn! 😩😩😩😩😩 I mean, you're not wrong we haven't started officially including goldenbridges content but I'm willing to make an exception for this!!

Episode 13: "Garfgoyle give me strength 🙏🏽"—Tony

In this round: After Michael begging Tony to flip for several rounds, Tony finally makes the jump; Zee absolutely dominates 24-Hour Tasks; Champ plays a Safety Without Power since she lost her vote due to Masochism anyway; Champ gives the Bank Your Vote advantage she got from eman to Zee, who banks her vote; and Jack is left as the only one in that alliance able to receive OR cast votes, which sends him to Purgatory even with his Grow As You Go idol nullifying two votes

Alex

Michael's a fucking king. Like. Pulling that Chaos Idol out of his back pocket like that? Incredible. Then the teamwork of each of us figuring out a step in making it happen? OBSESSED WITH THOSE TWO!!! Everyone on the other side is blatantly lying to either me or Kaleigh LMAO except for Tony so MAYBE we can get Tony to work with us to take out Champ tomorrow. That's gonna rely pretty heavily on Michael, I know, and it feels like he'd be in kind of a tough spot no matter who comes back from Purgatory if he did flip, but also Tony might see it as an opportunity to make a move in this game since the girls are running the show over there. If not, I'll go to rocks, I don't care lmao and I know Kaleigh feels the same way. Lemme go out on my terms, baby. Not sure about Michael, he's been feeling too rough post wisdom teeth surgery to talk game, but I do feel that he'd be more willing to go to rocks than Jack or Tony. Entering merge, I wouldn't have guessed I would've been working so opposite Eman this game, and it sucks that's how that played out, but it just seemed like we didn't see each other as actual options for moving forward together (even before the Colin vote). I really thought Eman or Tony were gonna win Masochism and save each other, though.

--

Anyways 24 hours tasks is the bane of my existence. I legit was playing it all through the night while still camping and hanging with friends and I still feel like I'm not doing enough so that's super fun. I'm afraid to take a shower in case I miss another post that I'll probably fuck up by misreading a component of the prompt. So we're having a fun time right now. I don't feel like I'm going to win this game and I have no idea how many words this is but I'm hoping that we've reached 50 because I'm not living la vida loca right now.

Kaleigh

this game is honestly driving me crazy. I can’t believe that zee is so far ahead of everyone even though Alex and I both stayed up until like 6 AM and Tony has been really playing his little heart out. This is just crazy I really don’t want Zee to win immunity LMAO I don’t even know why I don’t think we’re going for her but I guess we’ll see. poor michael is still laid up with his jaw swollen from wisdom teeth surgery so it truly is just me and alex LOL god i hope we can get tony to swing to our side. here’s hoping !! pray for us!!

Michael

Seems like the challenge is over already but why not do one. Also my mom kept me from posting in time. This round has been exciting to say the least. At the previous tribal council my alliance and I were able to pull off a successful play of the chaos idol, which only adds to my resume at this point. I fear that this makes me a large target? But I can't let fear keep me from making moves. Classic survivor bby.

Zee

They had us in the first half, I'm not gonna lie. I woke up at seven this morning after going to sleep super late last night because I thought people would sleep and I could catch up. I woke up FORTY POINTS BEHIND. Anyway nobody really went to sleep but I've mostly made that up by now with a solid 20 point lead, I'm just unsure if I can keep that up until the deadline tonight

Champ

Omg sorry I have like 15 minutes to put this in! I’m gonna play my safety without power so I’ll be in final 6! Yay :)

Kaleigh

okay that 24 hour task challenge was hell on earth. and also kinda fun. but would have been more fun if i won. i stayed up till SIX AM TO LOSE. LIKE! okay hats off to zee tho she fought for her life fr. um. so. last night’s tribal. was nuts. a little bit before it started, michael sent me and alex info about this CHAOS IDOL advantage he had purchased (FROM WHERE ? STILL DONT KNOW) and he had to solve a riddle and then unscramble a sentence and say the sentence at tribal to activate it. fucken a. we did it. we did it ALL!! anyway the chaos idol protects whoever has had a vote cast against them, so we voted for each other and evvvvveryone else voted for alex. so we 3 were protected and they had to revote one of them out lmfaooo a couple mins into voting, eman was like put the votes on me, i’ll come back! and they ended up going home, with just two votes on jack. it was an insane move. michael is rly pissing these ppl off LMFAOOO i am obsessed. zee messaged me before tribal yday and was like girl i j wanna let u know they are gunning for u LMFAOOO BABY YOU REALLY THINK I AM A FOOL!!! LIKE WHAT!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO! after tribal she messages me and is like “i convinced them to vote for alex!” HAHAHAHA MY GODDD!!! now she’s trying to convince me that michael is a huge threat blah blah we should vote him out no one would see it coming if i swapped to them lmaoo. god. i was like babes champ doesn’t have a vote why would i swap now. lets go to rocks babes. idc. she also kept trying to convince me that michael is talking to everyone over there and apologizing for flipping and wants to work with them LMFAOOO NOT THE MICHAEL I KNOW!!!!!!!! so she is being wild, jack and champ are both messaging me without talking game, like y’all please give me a break. please. please! god i’m so glad we dont have tribal tonight. i am dog sitting this chihuahua who literally will whine until i TUCK HIM IN. WITH A BLANKET. it’s absolutely insane and adorable. michael thinks we can get tony to flip to us, which like… tony should. absolutely. but will he? i don’t FUCKING know. would it be a bigger move to flip to us to get one of them out, or to trick us into trusting him and get one of us out? either way he’s on the bottom of either alliance and is boned :( like, oopsies. um. idk if we’re gonna toss all our votes on 1 person and hope for no idol or put 2 each on champ and jack and hope they dont have an extra vote or whatever, then revote after the tie and get champ out. still dyin to know who PREVAILED in purgatory today. will i play my steal a vote? my idol? i dont knoooooow. it depends on what they do and who’s back from purgatory. ok. i’m tired.

Michael

Soooo, I think my time is near. I very well may be going home tonight. Zee and Champ are trying to Flip Kaleigh, and I honestly wouldn't blame her for flipping now but Zee and Champ are a dangerous duo. Hopefully Kaleigh stays with us, I absolutely adore playing with Kaleigh. But my spidersense is tingling hardcore. I've had fun!

Tony

That last challenge was hella fun! But goddamn I cannot stay up to save my life. Eman and I had something solid going with our alliance, but with them gone it’s time for me to flip over to the 28+ club. I’m making the flip at tomorrows tribal. Garfgoyle give me strength 🙏🏽. We’re gonna have to be smart about this, but from here on out, it’s gotta be Michael and I to the end 🤙🏽

Alex

It's funny that, like, one of my earliest confessionals in the game was me talking about like 'oooh am I gonna play a villian game???' after the lie about the extra vote being just a Shot in the Dark and now I'm ride or die with Michael and Kaleigh to the point that I am willing to go home tonight in rocks or have Kaleigh play her idol on Michael instead of me. And if that's the case, then the girls are playing are playing better than I thought because they are actually banking on us having an idol and believing they're gonna target Michael this time even though they've targeted me twice. Oh well. We'll see what happens.

Jack

I’ve been super busy but even with my two negated votes with the amulet I still think I will go home lol hopefully me champ and zee r all safe but we’ll see

Tribal Council

Lost Votes: Champ, Zee

Jack: Michael (sry baby ur too iconic at tribal)

Alex: Jack (This wasn’t the plan, but I wasn’t expecting Champ to do that. Sorry, buddy.)

Kayleigh: Jack (SORRY BABES <3 GL)

Michael: Jack (Damn, didn’t want to do this right now but kind of have to. Hope your vacation is fun!)

Tony: Jack (it’s been fun playing with you! You’re always great at breaking up tense moments with humor and it’s much appreciated!)

reader x lin of her meeting suyin and her family?

The Metal Clan (Part 1) (Lin Beifong x Reader)

Warnings: None

Word Count: 1,300

Notes: Part 1 of 3, season 2 LoK spoilers, female reader

“We just got a call from the radio about another Airbender,” Asami said suddenly. Your head perked up from its spot on Lin’s shoulder, finally glad to have an actual direction.

You knew Lin didn’t want to keep traveling, and would rather protect Korra from the Red Lotus, but you were happy to be helping in the search for Airbenders. It was a noble and worthy cause, in your opinion.

“Finally!” Korra exclaimed, “Where?”

“A city called Zafou,” Mako said, and you instantly felt Lin tense up as he continued, “The home of the Metal Clan.”

You could see the discomfort on Lin’s face, but your heart was soaring. You’d been with her for years but had never met any of her family. You’d brought it up a few times, but she never budged. She was as stubborn as the metal she bent.

Korra noticed the look on Lin’s face, then glanced at you, then back to Lin, “Either of you know the place?”

You stayed silent, deciding to let Lin take this one. You’d dreamed of going to Zafou for years and meeting Lin’s family--your family, now.

“Uh,” She said, “I’ve never been. But I don't want you going. I would rest a lot easier if you were in Republic City.”

You felt frustration flood your senses for a moment, so utterly tired of Lin avoiding her problems. You looked at Korra, “I’ve never been, but I’ve always wanted to go. I think it’s a good idea.”

You could see Lin glaring at you in the corner of your eye, but you ignored her and smiled at your friend.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence, (y/n),” Korra said, “We’re going to Zafou.”

Korra walked back into the airship, and Lin pulled you aside, ignoring Naga’s whine to play.

“What was that?” Lin demanded.

“It’s time that I meet my sister-in-law!” You spat back, standing your ground. Lin glanced around to see if anyone else heard, but it was just the two of you and Naga. 

Suyin might even be married with children--Lin hadn’t shared much information, and what she had shared hadn’t been positive. You knew little to nothing about her family.

“I’ve told you before, it’s not important!” She insisted, putting a hand on your arm. You yanked it away, crossing your arms.

“It is to me!” You said angrily, and stormed off.

---

Zafou was stunning from above, and you found yourself in awe of it even up close. The statue of Toph(my mother-in-law, your mind whispered) nearly sent you into a state of shock. This was… a lot to process.

You’d never considered metal to be an element that could be so beautiful, but watching the dancers and seeing the city had certainly changed your mind.

“Is this some form of combat training?” Korra asked curiously as the women bent the metal carefully to form a flower.

“Not exactly,” Aiwei said, “They’re rehearsing for a dance premiere next month.”

You watched as a woman with grey hair descended, and your mind recognized her instantly. Lin wasn’t a sentimental woman, but she did have a handful of pictures from her childhood. Suyin.

“Allow me to introduce the matriarch of a Metal Clan, Suyin,” Aiwei said as Suyin walked forward. She looked so much like Lin, you had no idea how Team Avatar couldn’t see it.

“Please call me Su,” She said, pressing her fist into her palm and giving a short bow. She turned to Korra, “Great to finally meet you, Avatar Korra.”

She then turned to where you and everyone else were standing, “And this must be Mako, Bolin, Asami, and…. I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are.”

Su seemed apologetic, but it still stung. Your own sister-in-law had no idea who you were, and it hurt more than words could describe, “I’m (y/n) Bei--sorry, just (y/n)”

You smiled innocently, bowing to her. You were used to introducing yourself by your full name, but of course, you had to keep off Beifong. It added to the hurt you were feeling. Korra looked at you funny, but didn’t point it out.

“You’ve done your research,” Mako said, then glanced at you, “Mostly, at least.”

“I make it my business to know who’s visiting my city,” Suyin said cordially, looking over the group. Her eyes lingered on you for a few extra moments, and your face heated up under her gaze. It felt unfair that you knew who she was, but she didn’t know you.

“So, you’re a dancer,” Korra said, changing the subject.

“Dancer. Leader. Wife. Mother. Collector of rare meteorites. You’ll find that people here have many skills and interests,” Suyin said as she pulled off her glove. Aiwei leaned in and whispered something discernable into her ear, and her eyes widened as she glanced at him.

Her eyes turned to your group and narrowed unhappoly, “Korra, why did you lie when Aiwei asked if there was anyone else with you?”

Korra looked surprised, and Bolin slapped his hand over his mouth. You felt your heart begin to race, knowing what was coming next. Aiwei turned his eyes to you, as if he could hear your heart beat pick up.

“What?” Korra asked, “I, uh… How did you know I was lying?”

“I’m a truth seer,” Aiwei explained, “When people lie, their heart rate and breathing increase. I can sense the most subtle of changes.”

His eyes focused on you, and you felt like you were about to start sweating. So he could feel your heart palpitations.

“Thanks to Aiwei, there are no secrets in our city,” Suyin said. Your shoulders sagged slightly, unsure of how she was going to react to the information she was about to find out. Lin had told you that her sister could be immature and flighty, and you hadn’t prepared yourself for it properly. Maybe Lin had been right--this was a bad idea.

“We came with Lin,” You spoke up, your voice breaking the silence.

Korra and the rest of Team Avatar looked confused, obviously not understanding that Lin and Suyin knew each other. Honestly, how did they get through the day with such low observational skills?

“Lin’s here? I would love to say hello,” Suyin said pleasantly, and your eyes widened. Lin spoke of her sister and mother with such contempt that you hadn’t been expecting warmth from Su.

“You two know each other?” Korra asked, and you sighed, bracing yourself.

“You’re joking, right?” Suyin asked, looking everyone over, “I guess Lin never told you about me.”

Suyin seemed sad at that revelation, and you felt empathy wash over you. You knew what it was like for Lin to keep you a secret.

“They’re sisters,” You explained to Team Avatar, your eyes never leaving Suyin.

“Wait, so that means-” Bolin started, pointing to you, then to Suyin. Your fist connected with his arm, and he yelped, his mouth closing.

“What?” Suyin asked, her eyes moving from Bolin to you. Her green eyes looked so much like Lin’s that it was almost painful.

You took a deep breath and offered a small smile, “I’m Lin’s wife. (Y/n) Beifong.”

Suyin reeled back as if she’d been slapped, and her eyes looked you up and down. You felt small under her gaze and averted your eyes to the floor.

Suddenly an arm reached out and pulled you forward into a hug. Startled, you glanced up at Suyin, then hesitantly hugged her back.

“It’s very nice to meet you,” She said quietly, low enough for only you to hear.

“It’s nice to meet you too,” You responded, squeezing your eyes shut to cut off any potential tears. You’d dreamed of meeting Lin’s family for years, and she’d vehemently refused, citing how rude and unruly they could be. But it was completely unfounded, you were sure of that in this moment.

Lin’s family was your family too. And you were going to have a relationship with them.

Episode 1B - “I'm praying to Yoncé I survive and don't get first boot.”-Jess

no words.

LITERALLY

NO WORDS.

Two points. TWO FUCKING POINTS.

I'm praying to Yoncé I survive and don't get first foot. That ain't a cute look xoxox

i'm already forgetting to search for the idols, i'm already getting paranoid about if i need to start making alliances instead of just enjoying the really cute convos i'm having with ruthie lily and kevin (max is kinda dry and annoying but... we'll try to make it work ig).... and i'm already hating every challenge we do especially this one although i actually really liked the challenge it was so creative and fun, i just hated that i have bad luck and am stupid with the deduction things, HENCE why i havent looked for the idol yet. LOL. so.... tl;dr - things are going perfectly! this hufflepuffle is workin exactly as he should!

I just wanna say we really are the hufflepuffs. 114 moves in like 5 hours, but we did it.  Really proud of Ruthie, Landen, Kevin, Max, and I! Sending positive vibes to slytherin. Hope they are okay in this madness.

Yo my tribe? Kinda dope. I think that everyone worked really well together today! I think Joanna kinda took the lead and some of her ideas were... a choice. But! It got us first place! I think that this tribe has a good shot of getting to swap unscathed.

With Slytherin going to tribal, I really hope that someone I don’t know goes, but at the same time I’d be okay with Jess going? I feel like she’s such a sleeper threat in most games I’m in with her and I really just don’t want to compete with that this time around.

I kind of snapped and got myself an idol good until final 6 teehee.

I knew that the Snape's letter or writing or whatever that freak was up to was SOMETHING. Did I get lucky... hell fucking yeah.

A crackhead like me SHOULD NOT have all this POWER.

I also gave Jacob literally the worst clue ever because we are sharing clues ladies xoxoxo

The clue was:

"Snape is taken aback. “That wouldn’t be any business of yours now would it? I wouldn’t want to find out you are spreading false information. I trust you won’t have any issue with that”. Congrats! You’ve discovered Snape Storyline 2! That’s all for the moment, and will end your search for this round."

BOTH ARE HALF TRUE. Just in case he doesn't put 2 and 2 together and now I went from place to place on purpose. He's gonna think now I gave him something of value and I know he's gonna think "No way someone go an idol on day fucking 3".

CONFESSIONAL 1.1 — Walking into the Great Hall, I saw a few familiar faces... for not good reasons!

First Jacob, who I know from tengaged. He and I were in a similar friend group for a short period before he left it, but we had a rocky relationship. We flirted a bit (blame 16-year-old Nicholas), but that is in the past.

Secondly, Jess... who I just directly sent home in Eve’s The Challenge: Fresh Meat. She did not have great words to say to me (such as I’m condescending), so I was very wary and, honestly, unhappy with her being here.

But, as Kylie Minogue says, it’s better the devil you know.

Flash forward to the Sorting Ceremony, and I’m so happy to be.. Slytherin? I told Mister Vintage (Sammy) and Mister Heinen (Caeleb) that I’m either a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, but I suppose I’ve been lying to myself.

Then, I see my tribe: both Jess and Jacob are present. This is a curse wrapped in a blessing wrapped in an enigma. And, I love it.

I hate, hate, hate conflict and bad vibes, so I directly spoke to both. Jacob did not easily recognize me, but remembered me fondly; so, a successful reacquaintance. Jess, on the other hand, was definitely more apprehensive (as was I), but I made one thing clear: the past is the past, and I am declaring my loyalty.

I have been hurt in previous games by shoving the past aside while the other is still grudgingly aiming for revenge, but I feel Jess is different. She apologized to me about her words, which did hurt, and I apologized to her. What I said was honest, so I’m glad to see a fateful blossoming.

The first reward challenge is revealed, and honestly, I’m really bad at participating in pre-merge competitions, because I do not mind tribal. However, I do want to, since we are such a small tribe, focus on maintaining our numbers in case of a swap. We came in second this reward, and honestly, I’m glad to have eaten cupcakes (although I hate cherry). The fact we all chose a dessert and were privately messaged makes me assume someone received an advantage, but who knows...

What I DO know is that I had two separate relationships, so I wanted to lock a trio down (Me, Jess, Jacob), but I obviously did not want to gamebot this early and make the chat day one. So, naturally, i waited until after immunity.

Speaking of immunity... I took charge, because I like it, but also, I wanted to be able to take blame if we lost. I hate the whole “let’s vote someone out cuz they cost us a virtual challenge” this early in the game, it’s a cheap way to vote. I want to vote on loyalty and activity instead. That’s why I am probably going to target Jessie or Vi, but I‘m unsure as to which will be my vote. On one hand, Vi is much less social, but she also contributed a lot to the challenge. I do not want to judge a book by it’s cover, so I will reach out to her and assess her vibe.

I like going to tribal first, because my philosophy is that it’s better to test loyalties now, rather than guess loyalties later.

Regarding other players, Jules and Juls just played in a mini with me and sheeped the majority alliance to screw me over, so I’m not feeling them right now. Bitterness doesn’t exist in my mind: play well and I respect it; sheep and be stupid, and I will gladly dish out the karma. 

I’m satisfied with the happenings of this game so far, and I hope to make it further!! This is one of my first real orgs so, I’m em definitely excited. x. nick

Yay we won immunity. Raffy do be carrying our tribe though!

WELL WELL WELL!!!!!!! as far as my relationships go which is where i left off last round, really nothing much has changed about how i feel about or view my tribemates, but in exciting news... we won immunity!! i am not going to be first boot that is so nice, and im hoping that we can keep winning immunity until a swap so I can feel more secure. I think I could stand a shot if we lost on this tribe but i think if so the vote would split 3-2 i dont think i can get a unanimous vote on anyone unless its myself which is NOT WHAT WERE TRYNA DO HERE !! if anything i feel like i have the best chance to wiggle myself in with the girls (lily and ruthie) Max would probably be my ideal first vote if we ever lose an immunity because I know landen can be useful in challenges, but he YET AGAIN addressed me with a name that does not sit well with me he called me a "challengewhore" yet another reference to TS 2020, so this is not a good sign. Ideally I could get landen out and still be set but i know he has a relationship with juls who i also have a relationship with and wish to continue to have in this game, and us going against each other could make that more stressful than it needs to be because i know landen avenged beck for voting juls out maybe juls would do the same for him? Much to think about, but thankfully i dont have to think about it all that hard because yet again we ARE SAFE !!! woo, anyways thats pretty much it hopefully we can keep winning :D

Ahhhh safety feels so nice, I’m glad that I’m not in danger of being the first boot. Also I love the fact that ravenclaw won the first challenge with so little moves HAHA!

I want to go far in this thing with lily and with kevin, my goal right now is to get to merge and owen be alive so I can work with him!

I am very happy to have won this immunity challenge. We barely won, but I managed to pull my tribe to a victory. Emphasis on the "I" part. I am very frustrated with my tribe's lack of challenge activeness and ability. If the time did not work for them, then I do not know why they even suggested doing it at 2 PM. This challenge would have gone faster if I had done everything myself. In the end, though, I hope this helps in me staying in the game because I am a necessity if they want to ever win a challenge in first place. I highly doubt that they could do it without me.

So I’m currently writing this with one hand because my cat decided to lie on my other one  anyways Nobody is really talking about the vote which means it’s probably me going but I’ll see what I can do to change that

Here's a breakdown of my first few experiences since I am writing this a few hours before the first tribal council.

FIRST I was cast in this game along with a BUNCH of people that are icons across different formats of Tumblr Survivor - so that's intimidating. Mostly because my play style is kinda vanilla in comparison. I gotta find a way to stand out or I'm going to be thrown out fast.

SECOND There's a twist that will probably have some major effect at some later point in the game where everyone is added to the Great Hall. I think that it's for convenience of posting things like results and challenges so it only has to be sent to one chat... but also so that we can feel THEMATIC which is a lot of fun.

The game started in the Great Hall and we got sorted into our houses and the implication was that it's random but.. I don't think it's entirely true if I can read into what the hosts said to me once I was sorted into Gryffindor (something about running out of room in Hufflepuff) - because I definitely didn't say Gryffindor in my application.

THIRD My tribe has the following people: Joshua, Juls, Raffy, Autumn, and myself. 

I do not know how many of theme said Gryffindor when they applied but also did not want to bring it up to them as I am masquerading as a brave idiot. :D

Anyway, I started conversations with all of them and they all seem very sweet!!

I've played in a game before with Raffy where he was super snakey but also a great ally until he tried to snake me. So there's that... he's also an "over the top" type of person so he takes charge a lot of the time and voices his opinions about everything. I hope we can create some sort of working relationship in the game, but I think that he will tell me the truth if he does align against me.

Autumn is super chill and super strategic-minded. She puts lots of thought into all of her decisions and makes calls that benefit her getting to the end while trying to align with the right people. If I can't get to the FTC of this game... TBH I want to make sure she gets there. I played with her in one game and we both were tossed out one after another when the game turned on our "side". I don't think that relationship will factor into this game as it was forever ago and we both kinda play "new" every time we start a game but I'm hoping she will want to try and play with me just because I've seen how great she is at the game.

Juls is a very fun person who seems to always be having a great time! I found out she lives in Texas too and that she was excited to get to know me because we are from the same state. I was like.. do I know you? Because when she messaged me the way she did implied that she knew who I was and I was thinking OH NO what have people said.

Joshua seems really sweet. He hasn't added incredibly much to conversations so far with him but he has contributed some fun things. I love that he tries to be entertaining, but as I see it so far he's the first person I'd be willing to vote out if it came to our tribe going to council... though of course, having said that I bet they've all declared me their first choice.

FOURTH The reward challenge was the Letter plus Number challenge so as predicted...

I did terribly and earned 0 points for our tribe and was SO happy it was not for immunity.

The immunity challenge was a Choose Your Own Adventure Puzzle.

We got a slow start in that I feel like everyone was afraid to make a move because that would put a target on whoever "failed for the team". Then me and Raffy kind of got things rolling with him taking the main leader role and me taking on a secondary role either agreeing with his suggestions or contributing a suggestion for what we should do.

There was a misunderstanding with the competition and we ended up making a whole bunch of extra moves because it was unclear to us that the letters we found at a later part of the challenge were able to be changed into numbers at a lockbox so we did a bunch of extra stuff... and I was resigned to the fact we were going to the first tribal when we go surprised that Slytherin... DID WORSE!!! O_O

Anyway... I still have no alliances or confirmed "working game" relationships and I really don't feel like starting those conversations at the moment so if I am out of the ones established or on the bottom of one that will add me to "pick me up" for later votes then I blame myself for not trying hard enough in that category.

FIFTH I definitely didn't just now search for the idol and waste two days that I could have searched other times. Nope! Not me!! :)

Anyway I went on a trip to Hagrid's Hut because I love me some Hagrid and I figured he'd let me in since I"m a Gryffindor and he loves us the best (you know, like a reverse Snape)... I dug through all of his junk and found his umbrella. Apparently I liked that it was pink and then left his hut. 

To be honest, I probably should have taken his dragon's egg and turned him in... maybe could have gotten him fired.

Someone finally got me to come out of retirement- can you believe it

It's been cute so far and I have no complaints, probably cause the hosts wisely put me, Owen, and Dan in separate corners lmao. Yooo if we all make it to merge?? Hell hath no fury. But we will cross that bridge when we get there! And for now I enjoy the calm before the storm. I deadass forgot how to be an org so I need all the time I can get to socialize and reacclimate. Me checking Skype more than once a year? Don't remember ever doing that. I love Raffy, it's always good to see Chips, I think I like Juls, and I'm not sure how I feel about Joshua but it's fine. I like Gryffindor cause we have no beef and I hope it stays that way.

ok so my tribe lost :( big sad. but im def ok bc jess is soooo close to me and we made a threesome with nick so. i think jessie is an easy first boot bc shes not around as much as vi. but really its our decision at the end of the day!

here’s the hot goss.. i’m a little upset i didn’t get anyone i Know on my house/tribe but also grateful HSBSNSNN all i know is that so far i’ve been doing pretty solid in securing relationships with those on my team (at least.. i hope so :flushed:) and i’m hoping they all like me hehe. kinda praying to just mist my way to merge where i can be united with people who like me enough to keep me around still.. >:D
