[festeringfae]

Wait... new Willa Fitzgerald, but it's new in October, and it's based on a classic horror that isn't actually long enough to be a series...[types title and "mike" into duckduckgo] please don't be please don't be-- damn.

#deadass forreal forreal#one thing i hate about ppl who sensationalize chris but then turn around and shit on jon is this right here#like cousin be real#chris ALSO got shafted by the narrative and they did it to pitch some ultra epic romance and keep clark form raising him#age-ups are common for a reason#i am deadass terrified they're gonna age up otho and split her from osul so clark won't have to raise her either#truly terrified#clark's children suffer on account of being his kids#it's sad and i hate it and neither chris nor jon are at fault for being editorial's playthings 😭😭😭#real talk#dc comics

OP I am vigorously shaking your hand, THANK YOU.

I have been screaming about how Jon got the literal SAME treatment as Chris for AGES but people can't seem to get over the fact DC decided for the UMPTEENTH time that you know what couples need? Biological kids over adopted ones we have always been screwing over anyway! Chris isn't the first adopted kid to get fucked over by DC! Stop concentrating your anger on the fictional characters and start getting angry at the writers and editors! I want THEIR asses on a platter, not Jon's!

Oh, let's not forget the fact Chris was always going back to the Phantom Zone at the end of his debut run— but because Last Son's artist had to take a nearly year-long break due to health issues, the other writers took that as an opportunity to develop Chris and his relations with the Superfamily.

Superkids are disposable for Clark angst, whether one accepts it or not. Chris isn't the first to get the shaft (that would be Cir-El, who was even retconned as not being RELATED to Clois because people hated her guts as a Supergirl-replacement so much) and as you can see, he certainly isn't and won't be the last (see: Jon). I'm sure those twins won't last long either.

(I have beef with Kennedy so I tend to ignore the twins' existence unless someone forces me to acknowledge them. He is on my shit list though— at least Jon wasn't created as a (blatant) replacement for Chris, unlike those two! I can't believe he even admitted that! In an interview!

You could have found a way to deage Jon and solidify yourself as a legend regardless of how the rest of your run goes, but noooo, you had to cram in your own OCs instead! You don't even get to own their IP, idiot!

Oh, and I read somewhere (or was it in the same interview?) that the girl was gonna die at the end of the Warworld saga too! As if the boy twin wasn't enough of an obvious replacement (who I might add even has some similarities with Chris too)! And you had to screw over the New Gods for them too! They are barely recovering from King's Mister Miracle, dude!)

see anon, one thing i've realized about BOTH dc fandumb and dc editorial after being off dc comics for nearly ten years is that......... they not reading 😂😂😂 that's literally it, and im tired of pretending like that's not a problem on BOTH sides. it's so funny bc yeah, chris was never meant to last, but he DID have an impact, but you would think that after the nuking of the universe, the failure that was the new 52, and then the rebirth initiative to bamboozle hoes back into buying overpriced singles.............. they would, like, make a genuine effort not to be stupid with their own heritage properties, but the clowns keep clowning!!!

as for the children of clark kent.... i mean, yeah. they're destined to suffer. i don't know kennedy johnson that well but i enjoyed warworld, and tbh, i love ALL of superman's kids. call me clown too, it's ok. i know there's no hope for any of them to lead any kind of meaningful life on account of being his children, adopted or not, but i do love how their characters fit into the broader narrative. unfortunately, i did not know he was using otho and osul to substitute for what would have been OG chris, but tbh, that does not surprise me.

just like it doesn't surprise me how a lot of fandumb is quick to blame pink capitalism as to why jon was revealed as bisexual and not, like, the fact that bendis didn't DO anything with jon after aging him up. homie was just floating in the 31st century macking on a telepath and looking like tom welling circa 2005 😂😂😂 listen, the gays are being fed for the time being. tomorrow they might decide we're not worth the hassle, but for now, we get to see cute pride specials with superman and his pinkette since no one's bold enough to write a series of elgibbityqueue elseworlds where clark gets to mack on john henry irons and jimmy olsen.

but i digress! i love those superkids! i love chris and jon! i hope bendis comes back and destroys the rest of this continuity so we can finally force editorial to commit to character bibles, and hire editors who aren't writing books that might be easy to adapt into shitty tv shows and movies. i also hope the next wave of dc blockbusters flop. plus i want kon el to kiss bart allen. i am a woman of multitudes.

so my thoughts on endgame

yes this does contain spoilers and yes, i will continue to tag any of my spoilers as “endgame”

did i hate the movie? no. it had many very good moments that i will list before i list the problems i had with it

i LOVED all of the humor like they did that so well. like when steve was fighting his younger self and young steve says “i can do this all day” and now steve goes “yeah i know” in this just tired voice. and americas ass. and all of the jokes about rocket being a raccoon. and hulk taking pictures with the kids and then when rocket and hulk were sitting in the back of the truck. when tony threatened to sell all of morgans toys. korg playing fortnite. the whole scott coming back the wrong age bit. hulk having to walk down the stairs. when tony told steve that if he dropped the shield one more time he was gonna keep it. like there were so many parts that were just so funny and i loved it.

i loved all the tender moments. that little moment of friendship between nat and steve where she calls the avengers her family. i was SOBBING when tonys daughter was revealed and at literally every interaction between them. the fact that tony wasnt even going to build the time machine until he saw peters picture and thw fact that he had peters picture at all. tony telling nebula “you won” and her freezing bc shes probably never heard that before. the fact that both nat and clint refused to let the other one die (which was the truest form of love i have ever seen, not romantic but just genuine platonic love. also not that bullshit thanos called love for the very same stone). the moment when clint was looking around for his family and couldnt find them so he was just running back and forth not knowing what to do. im not even going to mention tony and peter’s reunion or goodbye because i was sobbing like a child the entire time. quill thinking for a second that gamora was back. when pepper told tony “we’re going to be okay” and you think she means the world and humanity but she really means her and morgan. the entire interaction between tony and his dad. there were so so many parts that just hit me so hard.

i loved all the heroic parts. carol showing up outside the ship with tony and nebula. steve standing up with his shredded sheild, still fighting on. the fact that steve can fUCKING WEILD THORS HAMMER LIKE BRUH. also that sick combo he did with the sheild and the hammer. the hail hydra moment because steve is so incredibly smart and knows how to work a situation. all of those bad ass women gathering to fucking destroy thanos. the circle opening up and revealing tchalla and shuri and okoye walking out, silhoutted by the light and the wakandan battle cry. the fact that the canons recognized that carol was the largest threat around and firing at the atmosphere to try and stop her and she just fucking rips through them like nothing. carol beating the shit out of thanos and him having to literally hold the power stone in his hand to beat her. that moment where you see all of the heros lined up ready to fight. “i am iron man”.

obviously there are more of every moment, and i loved all of them.

but.

that doesnt mean that i liked the movie. and heres why:

1) thor’s literal character assassination. i reblogged a few posts (that you can find in my endgame tag) that explain this better than i will be able to but bruh. the russo brothers did thor so fucking dirty and it makes me pissed. they made him fat purely for the laughs (which someone pointed out an emphasis on the fact that they literally edited his weight out of the trailers because they wanted to use it as a gag in the movies). also, they blatently ignored and made fun of the fact that thor OBVIOUSLY was grieving and blamed himself for how things had turned out. he has lost literally everything in his life: his home, his father and mother, his brother, his best friend - and now the man who wiped out half of the human population taunted him with his mistake of not going for the head. also, thor literally just went through the whole process of realizing his true power and sacrifing his home in order to protect his people and youre going to tell me that he just decides “mmm imma go to space and leave you all here youre fine without me” like no. also please read this post it makes me so mad its so true.

2) the whole time travel plot. to me it didnt seem well thought out and it leaves so many plot holes. like if removing a stone can create another timeline, i dont think putting the stone back fixes anything. you have still technically created another time line. and like what happened to loki we saw him disappear wouldnt that be another time line??? and like if 2012 or 2014 or whatever thanos came to the present, then wouldnt that create another time line?????? and if steve stayed behind, then thats a whole other time line. like it just doesnt make sense there are so many things that do. not. work. (sidenote: thanos said the infinity stones were reduced to atoms. wouldnt that be reversable by scott and shrinking down into the quantum realm??? this is just an idea)

3) it was predictable. there were SO many times that i was able to tell what was going to happen before it did. like clints family vanishing. and scott finding an older cassie. and scott being turned into a bunch of different ages. and tony saying no and then saying yes. even tony weilding the gauntlet was predictable (i just refused to think about it bc i didnt want to see tony die).

4) steve staying in the past. now im going to preface this saying that im not trying to say that steve didnt deserve it. he did and im happy for him (since this is what the russo brothers have decided to make permanent). steve did deserve happiness and i will even say that he deserved peggy. but. that doesnt mean thats what he should have done. it was out of character for steve (not as bad as thor but still out of character). he would have recognized that the world needed him in the now and he wouldnt have been able to just stay in the past. like steve’s biggest character flaw is that he cant just sit by and do nothing, he always has to act. so now out of no where he just decides that hes gonna screw over everyone in the present and stay behind. like he knows they just lost tony AND nat, two of the og avengers, and hes just gonna decide to leave them hanging without another person???? and hes just going to sit by knowing that bucky is out there being tortured??? ALSO i am absolutely not saying that any part of his talk with sam was unnecessary. i even love the fact that he gave the sheild to sam (black captain america is my shIT HELL YES I AM HERE FOR IT). but. there is no way that steve “even when there was nothing i had bucky” rogers wouldnt say anything to bucky. and i saw someone saying “well they obviously talked off screen” bitch i dont care there are probably thousands of off screen things that happen and thats why we have fanfiction. but the on screen stuff matters and steve just ignores bucky entirely?????? no he fucking doesnt the russo brothers are just afraid to encourage any more interaction between steve and bucky because they fear stucky fans. and im not even saying this as a stucky fan im literally saying it as a marvel fan who knows the smallest amount of steve’s character.

5) tony creating his worst nightmare. tony has said multiple times that he blamed his dad for leaving him and it only makes sense that he would fear having a kid and then leaving them alone. and the russo brothers did just that. they gave tony the life he always wanted and then ripped him from it, creating tonys nightmare at the same time. he has now subjected morgan to live a life like he did, without a father. now personally i dont think tony should have died. did i predict that he was since infinity war (bc of rdj’s contract ending and also it will be very difficult to continue the “next generation” with these huge figures still around), yes. and i know that its unrealistic for everyone to survive in war but so is fucking time travel and they pulled that card. idk i just dont like how they did it.

so overall, i think i loved a lot of the overall moments on film, its just that i didnt like the themes, messages, and character delieveries shown in the movie. im just gonna go watch winter soldier and ragnarok and homecoming and captain marvel and black panther and all the other Actually Good marvel movies.

Episode #10: “He wanted to have this ginormous dick energy" - Brian

Well losing Keaton wasn't in the plan. He was one of my closest allies. I may have screwed things up with Brian. Maybe if I can come up with a lie good enough, we could believe me. Sharky knows that I liked Keaton so maybe theres still trust there. Hopefully. Im still working with Nathan but hopefully he still wants to work with me even though Keaton is gone. I know for sure that I have Bryce. At least that's one ally but who knows.

OKAY OKAY OKAY. Thank fucking GOD. Everything worked out. All the other votes were for Matt so there is no question who is a liar. Because everyone is a liar. But it doesn't matter because our plan worked. Matt is still here. I'm still here. AND KEATON IS NOT!!! Now of course everybody is scrambling to apologize to me. Nick is like oh it was so last minute. Maynor is like "i liked you both so it would keep you both". Nathan is spewing some nonsense. Bryce honestly kind of owned up and laughed it off which tbh i respect. And of course my girl Anna checked in and I told her we are golden. Because we are. Anna was 100% up front with me about this plan so I trust her A LOT now. I told her Brian and I didn't tell Matt about the plan, which is a lie, but it's the smart thing to tell her because it keeps her from being put in another tough position. And I never told Matt Anna was the leak. So Anna should be safe from any fallout after this vote. Nothing to do now but move forward and hopefully Matt or I win immunity and the FB Bois can carry on.

Update: I'm sure as hell not winning immunity because I only got 3 out of 25. Embarrassing. Physical threat who?

Bryce is my final 2.  There, I've said it.  I'm 100% solid on this man as my fellow finalist!  I really hope that we are able to navigate our way to finals together... like, we have our plans, we spilled all the tea... basically Nick and Maynor just continuously lied to me, and like... idk... I feel like Bryce could be lying, but I just feel too good about this connection that I think it's a real final deal.

So fuck me with a spoon and call me Sally because I finally feel amazing about an ally to the end.

Also, we have our "potential vote order."

8. Nick - A goat that could just be brought to the end.  He's not too bad, but he's also someone who could easily replace me in the Sharky-Matt-me trio. 7. Annabelle - Break her duo with Nathan up while also breaking her trust circle with Sharky.  I think it would be ideal for me to take her out now. 6. Sharky - He's the biggest threat and you can't keep the biggest threat around for too long, no matter how much you trust them.

Top 5: Me, Bryce, Nathan, Matt, and Maynor.  This isn't the cutest final 5 ever, but I feel like this sets me and Bryce up for the best final 2.

5. Biggest challenge threat, whoever that may be. 4. Biggest challenge threat now (if it's final 2).  If it's final 3, then biggest jury threat. 3. Final loser (if it's final 2).

1+2. Me and Bryce.  Kings.

omg so brian is my f2 now and thats so iconic... so we think the boot order is gonna be like nick anna sharky and then reevaluate for comp threats.... like so i didnt want to vote matt bc i didnt want to lie to brian bc i really wanted to work with him but nathan convinced me to anyway esp bc we knew anna voted matt already and then GHOSTED. but then matt played idol so someone (maybe nick) prob told him/sharky about the plan... sketchy anyway it worked out bc i hate keaton and am happy hes gone. so when tribal ended i noticed sharky brian matt werent leaving call and they were all the minority voters... well majority bc of the idol... so i went into damage control. it was so iconic bc i didnt even pm sharky or matt just brian bc i really only felt bad about lying to him bc i wanted to work with him so much and matt doesnt respond that much and well sharky maybe i was a lil bad feeling about lying but w/e. i just joked around with them didnt hide anything and was my usual charming self... so i was honest with them about what happened bc i realized like i dont want to work with ppl who lie to me. i forgot if i mentioned this but like keaton and nick refused to tell me they were voting matt even tho we were all supposed to be in on it. and while everyone else was lying about why they voted or when the plan was formed i decided to be forth right. idk if thatll come back to haunt me but hope not NNNN. i was on that call for 7 hours. thats dedication NFJAJDFSHKAJS although they were all iconic and fun to talk to anyway so wasnt that hard but i sleep at midnight the latest usually and it was 2am. but w/e i pushed through bc tiredness is passing but positioning myself properly is NECESSARY. once it was just brian and i we shared everything or at least i did KJFASDKJFA he kept being a lil shady but i think it was fair bc i did just lie to him. i told him about nathans vote spy and the og absolem (minus nick) alliance and all the stuff ppl were saying and he told me about how he knew of matts idol bc he himself had a vote steal and they traded info. so loved that tbh!!! like if we have to use it this round itll set us up good it think, plan is to take out nick bc he can be goated to the end and flipped to and we dont want that. then anna bc shes good at comps and wanna split nathan/anna up. then hopefully work with maynor/nathan/(maybe matt) to vote out sharky bc if he gets to the end he'd win we feel like. after that we gotta see who we can beat in comps so we can beast our way to the f2. we think its f2 bc how days line up but like im bad at math so KFJASDHFJSD. anyways me and brian are like the michele and cydney that make it to the end so get ready for that. sorry nathan, thank you next!

I dont know if i said it last confessional but losing Keaton at the moment was really bad. He trusted me and was working with me. But now it looks like Matt want to start a little alliance. Sharky wasnt bad, was just happy it wasnt him, and Brian not mad but upset. I think i literally may be working with everyone left. Scream team with Sharky. OG Dinah with Brian. Shatter but still together me nathan annabelle and bryce. My rams alliance with bryce. And nick talks to me but is only one who hasnt said we should work together.

So we out here still! I am really happy that the idol play worked and it seems to have shaken the 5 who voted against myself, brian and sharky a lot. they are all seemingly panicking and its quite amusing to watch ngl. However, I am pretty sure I can capitalise on this to my own advantage, to swing the numbers my way or at least to take myself to like 5th (which for me is always a good placing). I am sure as hell not done playing yet so woo lets go bitches!

worried brian is closer to matt than me... annabelle once again ignoring. i dont know how to have a convo with matt like on call sure easy love it on discord? not happening. nick... maynor seems off today but we still chatted for a while... maybe im over? whomst knows! love ain

These questions were all out of left field like wow. I didn't even get to read all the questions. I randomly looked at a question and picked a number. I actually knew more of them than the ones I picked. I only got one right and that was Mickey Mouse and I don't even like him that much. Lets hope people are thrown off by these questions and panic like I did.

So Nathan has come and apologized. I really do believe his plan, although it was super selfish, was to get our group of 4 further. So I'm not mad. But the thing is that more so than Nathan lying it showed that he has real POWER in this game. He was able to get a 6 person majority to do what he wanted and convinced them all to lie to me and Brian. So he won't be my next target because he has my back but I don't have his anymore so he better watch out. Nathan is the biggest threat left in this game.

Okay so it's seems all is at peace. Anna had been worried that Nathan would come after me but it seems that passed. And The Jock Destroyers Alliance actually seems to be on the same page for once. Nick is just seeming like an unknown to all of us and we want to cut down on unknowns this late in the game. None of us can guarantee Nick is with us and that is worrisome. So as much as I've tried to work with Nick these past few weeks it might be time to cut my goat loose and move on with a new flock. I guess we'll find out.

I WON IMMUNITY!!! My wig is flown... now I can be more ballsy over the next 24 hours.  I want Nick gone.  For Nathan and Sharky to think that they're the ones doing this, though, is so annoying because I was literally the one to open this can of worms.  In addition, the reason I want Nick gone is because I want him out of Sharky's ass.  I don't need the two of them to be besties anymore!  I know Sharky is OK with voting him out, but I know Nick thinks him and Sharky are like besties so...

I think that 5 that voted Matt last round were thrown into a tizzy when Keaton went, and so I'm just out here like... lemme revel in the chaos!  Maynor and Nathan both were so anxious for my reaction... Nick went explaining to me right away what happened... ugh!!  My mind is so big... Sending Nick home this round will be one step closer to fulfilling my top 2 fantasy with Bryce.  I love it so much.  I really hope all goes to plan, but I am immune so I can't really be too worried since I'll still be here after 24 hours lmfao!!

I would love to be the hero by the end of this season, but I already see my villain arc coming up, and I'm left sitting here like... well, it was bound to happen.  The second I turn on Sharky is the second I hit that arc, and it's a plan that's coming sooner rather than later!!

i feel like... im going home its so quiet like brian won immunity and pushed on nick so like he should go but its just so quiet hm.

Well. It looks like it might be me. 🤷‍♂️ No one hs been talking to me so I guess its may be my last day!?

So the vote is either between Me or Nick tonight. And i dont like that. Going to see if I can get Nick and atleast 2 other votes to atleast make it a tie. The only other option right now is to take out Sharky. Im looking to try and get Bryce, Nick, and hopefully Nathan. Brian is safe. That leaves Matt, Annabelle, and Sharky. So like 🤷‍♂️ Imma go out fighting if its me.

So like, this tribal is really quite quiet, but seems to have a clear target in  Nick. SOmething of which i will HAPPILY take for myself, as I am just fed up of getting voted atm lmao. Like yes please just give me 1 round of respite then you may come for me again cause I will be ready. I feel close to Maynor and Nathan, mainly cause I have worked on them over the past few days so i feel good about myself and where i stand. will I win? probably not. Am i ok with that? no but if I have to settle I will

Okay for once it seems like there isn't much scrambling. I could be completely wrong and I'll get sent packing but who knows. It should be a quick and easy vote for Nick.

I jinxed it. The moment I said it should be easy NICK GOES OFF IN THE TRIBE CHAT. Trying to basically threaten all of us with the idea that he may have another idol. THEN BRIAN CALLS HIM OUT. And he puts Nick on blast for leaking the Matt plan to us. Which he did do. BUT Anna is actually the one who told us. So Nick either actually has an advantage and will save himself (in which case I don't think I'm his target) or his whole game just BLEW UP. It's messy messy messy.

Well Nick just ruined all the possibilities ih trying to save him. Nathan doesnt seem like we could get the votes so that also gets rid of Annabelle because they are very tight. So my vote is gunna be Nick but just watch its actually me. 🤷‍♂️  I would die but nothing i can really do know.

maybe im boo boo the fool??? theres been iconic fights and stuff and now nick is gonna vote me which is rude but he says hes voting maynor but i doubt that bc maynor tried to save him earlier this round so idk whats happening ppl are saying like dont worry he doesnt have the votes but what if he idols or what if ppl flip or like i dont want any vote against me in the first place. all these ppl so stable bc they arent the ones getting voted. the AUDACITY nick has when ive put up with his bland unanswering self for all these weeks to vote me on his way out??? no ty!!! maynor is like the most NNN idk he just has the worst pokerface i went with his annoying save keaton plan last week and im pretty sure he is going to vote me now too like... maybe dont do that what happen to the stupid :rams: :rams: aries thing we had going... make it add up!

Looks like I’m going home... the only chance I have at staying is if bryce gets out but I’m worried that’s not going to happen... I guess we will see wha happens in a few hours…

AHH!!  So I got into a fight with Nick earlier.  He wanted to have this ginormous dick energy in the main chat about powers he has and how he KNOWS who mentioned his name... girl, you know NOTHING!  He still thinks I've voted for him twice, and highkey if I had read my PMs about the idol before 7:45pm, then I would've voted for him exactly Z E R O times.  So fucking ugly...

So yea, I fought him.  And I'd say I won.  I just hope everyone sends his ass home.  Bryce and Nathan are updating me on, like, everything, and we have Maynor who just is beyond sketchy with his PMs.... I really just... WHEW.... I hope Nick's straight ass goes home and it isn't Bryce.

This tribal is going to be one big fat mess... but like i’m ready for it

I dont really want to do Nick tonight but its the best thing for now not to rock the boat. Im just hoping that everyone isnt lying and its some how me tonight. 🤷‍♂️ Just need to trust people who are saying they are doing Nick. But having a weird feeling and hopefully its a false alarm.

Tbh Brian not voting makes me feel sketch about tonight. It may be nothing and just me being worried that my name was thrown out. He said he was going to sleep early but he could have voted early for Nick so like. 🤷‍♂️ Paranoid and im going to die.

Nick is voted out 5-1-1.

EPISODE 8 “Touchy Swapjects” - Ashton

[gif]

Ok fuck me I'm slacking so hard on these. I think it was like Episode 2 the last time I did one and that's basically because jack shit has happened since then. Legit we won 5 immunities in a row and just chilled. Then Double Tribal was announced and we realized that we actually had to do stuff. With that announcement talks of alliances began and a diverse group of white males came together to form a fabulous alliance. It is myself, Johnny, Drew, Trace, Dom and Steffen. Originally we were the meninists but after realizing that might be problematic (Especcially since we are targeting a woman whoops) we changed it to messinists. As I spoilered above we did target a woman when we finally went to tribal. Someone had to go and it had to be Ruthie because everyone loves her really and that's threatening. Again I feel bad, Same way how I did after the first boot, but this is how the game has to go. To win you have to be cutthroat. 

Oh I also have a fun touchy swapjects strategy. Its basically just assume everyone hates Kage and answer him for all the negative things. Then also assume everyone thinks Drew is basically Jesus and vote him for all the positive things. It's probably gonna fail miserably and just make both of them target me but we will see

Ruthie went.... Just like I wanted her to, it was so easy. Now I need to find a way to NOT be taken a back as the BIG target during touchy feelings. I'm hoping that Steffen and Drew come out a bit worse because they've been playing this game pretty hard as well, and this is always the challenge that fucks me up. If anything, this round is going to show me that I need to take a step back again. I actually think I was VERY mellow when it came to the Ruthie vote, and honestly i've been barely socializing, and showing that I'm not thinking about the game THAT much, so I just hope this will work. I am NOT trying to win this challenge because I don't really want any involvement in the swap twist, like I'm sure is about to happen, so this way, I can just get scooped up by someone and figure it out later. Time to make people feel like shit and do this reward challenge!

https://youtu.be/O3plk8Pueh8 Change of fu king plans brians bitch ass decided he didnt like kendall so now we better win immuniyy or else im sending his ass home OR im forcing him to vote with us to not go to rocks and throwing the comp to get him out next time when kendall-tommy and I are the majority

Hey. It's Johnny. Johnny Stockton. There's not a simple explanation for the things that I feel that's right. Don't adjust your whatever device you''re hearing this on. It's me, live and in stereo. No return on engagements, no encore, and this time, absolutely no requests. Get a snack. Settle in. Because I'm about to tell you the story of HOW I GOT SWAP FUCKED IN JAPAN JESUS FUCKING CHRIST OML!!!! I mean.... in all reality this isn't bad. I didn't want to end up with Jonathan or Junior because I feel they're REALLY good players, and don't see working with the heroes as a benefit to him, but this was actually not a horrible swap here. The worst part about it is that Kendall is on this tribe and she is horrifically inactive, but on the bright side, the Villains would probably want to target her first. I think I can play it off the best I can about Kendall being inactive is that she is being punished right now, but is going to be with us, because it's a pretty easy case for none of them to swing to the heroes side if Kendall isn't fucking playing, and on top of that, if she self votes, and we tie, we go to rocks. As for who else I ended up with.... Trace is one of my mains, so this was good to have him here. I know I can rely on him a lot to get deeper in this game, and is probably the person I have the most faith in in this game, to never turn on me, which is a great feeling to have coming into a swap. Then we've got Tommy, who has been talking to me nonstop since the beginning of the game, and I can't tell if he's legit or not in terms of how much he REALLY wants to work with me, but I'm getting the vibe that he doesn't really want Brian around, and that Tommy didn't want to vote out Richie, which means that there might be some animosity there, and there's a good chance that we could see a Brian vs Tommy showdown on this tribe if we lose one. Sarah seems really sweet, really funny and EXTREMELY manipulative. I think she's probably the biggest threat on my tribe, and I'm probably going to have to do some research on her before we get a bit deeper into things. I think she'll be very responsive to working with me over the other two from my tribe and I think I can make it. As for Brian, I've been told that he might be a bit inactive, he's busy all the time, but seemed to have a lot of pull in their old tribe, which seems intriguing to me. I am more compelled to work with Brian than I am Tommy or Sarah, and I can't explain why, but I'm sure I'll get there. As for now, my ultimate goal is to beat out Trace and Kendall in communication and helpfulness to the tribe, which shouldn't be that hard. I think, easily, I'm going to be able to make power moves in this tribe, and I'll probably be the pinpoint guy to everyone. I just don't want this swap to put a target on my back, but sometimes, it's gotta happen, and if it does, then let the good times roll. I've gotta get to merge and I'm going to make it happen.

So after we swap, Crow immediately runs to me and asks for my help, and how he can have an in on my tribe, and immediately I just ask the same question. He's in a much worse predicament than what I'm in, so I asked him what he thinks of the people on my tribe, and he said that Brian would be a VERY good person to work with on my tribe, so I returned the favor and told him that he should work with Brain's best friend, and my closest ally (i didn't say the closest ally thing) Steffen. If Crow and Steffen are working together on one tribe, and Brian and I are working together on another, I think that could really benefit us in the long run to potentially form an intertwining foursome that can really take over the game, and the amount of options I can make to take over the game would be amazing. It turns out touchy subjects was not that horrible for me, because it seems like the answers I could've gotten were biggest challenge threat, surprised you most in challenges, most for the tribe, most intimidating and who should play the next duel. These questions make me confused as to why the people that ended up on my tribe ended up on my tribe, but I'm not going to question it for much longer, and I'm sure touchy subjects will provide some answers, and I'm just hoping I'm not in the crossfires like I was in Soloman. I want to win reward because I want that idol clue, and I want to find another idol. Having a regular idol, and that super idol, in the game could be VERY groundbreaking, simply for a resume standpoint, and this time, I wouldn't tell anyone about it, which means I'd have one idol with Steffen that is like a super idol, but then another idol for myself as a backup, so I'm going for it hard and hope I get the idol. I'm starting to believe that the idol Steffen and I have is the only one in the game, and that actually gets me really excited. Now it's going to come down to is whether or not Steffen is going to give me the idol. I don't see a valid excuse for him to not give it to me, because we're supposed to be a fucking PARTNERSHIP, and when I brought it up after we swapped, he said "we'll talk about it when we get there." ........... if this kid screws me over, it's not going to be pretty

I'm not a brawn. I'm a brain or AT LEAST a beauty? This is insulting af. But hey, if being a brawn means I can be immune for a few rounds, I'll pretend to be a brawn! Right now, the heroes have an obvious majority on Nagoya 4-2, with Kage and I on the outside. However....I'm utilizing my secret bond with Johnny and Brian's bond with Steffen and my bond with Brian to cultivate an alliance with Steffen. If Steffen can protect me in this first vote, then I can slither my way into the cracks of these 4 heroes. I've been talking to Drew a lot recently so maybe he'd be inclined to keep me too...I just need to dig my talons into either Dom or Ashton well enough to make myself influential on this tribe. Slowly but surely I will creep my way into power... Caw caw, ain't dead yet bitch!

AHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH This swap worked out so perfectly. I actually feel bad omg. 4 of my alliance members all put on an alliance of 6. This is what dreams are made of. OG MY GOD. And 2 Great Lakeans!!! This was legitimately the perfect swap for me, I'll be surprised if I ever get a vote on this tribe. 

Why are people so shady? Like apparently Drew and Ruthie are best friends, yet Drew was the one who told me that he wanted Ruthie out. Either Sarah's lying to me, or Drew's really ruthless and that's unsettling as someone who wants to work with him. Especially since I just gave him an idol since I found a different tribe's idol. How unlucky can I get. Though I guess being on the Brain's is fun since I'm with three people from the Heroes. Problem is they all hosted together, so if we lose three challenges (or potentially less), I'm screwed. So there is a part of me debating to tie it and go to rocks to potentially send one of them home because I want to secure my spot to the merge.

Honestly, this swap has me feeling so many types of ways.  Me, along with Sarah and Tommy, are the only Villains in any sort of position with numbers.  The other 2 tribes have 2 Villains each and 4 Heroes while we have 3-3.  That definitely gives us an upper edge in the case of a vote, but we really just have to mainly focus on winning.  I'm tired of going to tribal after tribal and not being able to trust anyone to make a decision to benefit my own game.  I know that if Tommy or Sarah flip, to which I know Tommy would definitely flip on me to better his game and I'm not 100% sold Sarah would do the same but she might, it'll 100% be a vote against me and not against the other.  I'd love to vote Tommy out right now given he is such a big threat and he's more on the ins with the other Villains than me BUT I need him.  I'm going to put in work on Johnny and Kendall and Trace tbh just so they'd rather vote a different direction and maybe just work with me and not against me, whether it be against Sarah or Tommy or against one of their own.  Because if I hear Tommy's name come up, I'll jump on that ship right away (unless I think I can cause a flip).  I have nothing against him personally, he's a sweetheart, but like... I will always feel some awkward tension there between the two of us for some unknown reason.

THEY GOT ME GIRLS ! We done fuckin swapped but it was bvbvb through answers on touchy subjects and I got put on Brain because I'm ugly and weak. So that's exciting. What's not exciting is people are probably eyeing Isaac, Pippa, and I really hard because of COURSE we ended up on the same tribe. The thing that worries me is that we wanted to go for Junior first just because he's Like That™ but tbh?? Jonathan a rat! And yeah before I say this - I know he's in minority on the tribe and is gonna do anything to stay. But at least wait to talk to all the heroes first before you go throwing people under the bus mayhaps? But because Alex wants to have babies with Pippa and wants to keep the Malaysians alive, he told Isaac that last night Jonathan came to him and was like  "you know Andrew, Isaac, and Pippa hosted together right? That's dangerous" and I'm like bitch maybe try talking to all of us first before you try to BUST a move... it's just so frustrating. But I'm hoping Alex wouldn't flip. However if he does it will totally be me getting the votes. So fuck right off! Now that that's happened, Jonathan may have screwed himself by opening his mouth too early. Because now I kinda wanna build a better relationship with Junior? I feel like he coulda been popular on the villains and he could be my in for them if I need to get with some of the villains - which I'm still totally open to. Idk this is all in the hypothetical that we lose obviously, but SOMEBODY (Jonathan) has got me fucked up! FUCKED. UP. Oh and also, just to follow with the tradition this lovely community has enjoyed following for almost 2 years of handing every game on the planet to Drew - ALEX GAVE DREW A FUCKING IDOL. Are you serious? Is this real life? I have never seen Handing_Drew_The_Game.png personified more than someone HANDING HIM A FUCKING IDOL WITH NO EFFORT INVOLVED. You wanna win Drew? Okay yeah here ya go it's not like I wanted it anyway (said 90% of the cast). So now we have to really really really blindside Drew if we want him out. Which I do! Since the beginning! But he won the damn individual immunity because why wouldn't he? And Alex just went and fucked it up even more. Poor kid is so sweet but like... girl why? I mean at least he told Isaac and I. Which this could be good(?) just because it shows his loyalty and shows hopefully that he wouldn't flip on us - mainly me though. If he's gonna be blindly loyal then that's better than being a snake.

Both tribes going to tribal? I don't have to knock someone out of my tribe yet? Lul. I'm safe. Life is good. Hopefully next round is music videos!

So Steffen gave me the idol, so I'm clearly good for this round. I hope we stay separated because it's a straight ticket to merge for us. As for this double tribal, I am 99% sure my name is not going to go around anyways as the vote, simply because there are so many things that could happen, and it seems like the brains are getting the vast amount of attention for this vote, as our tribe is trying to stay out of it and stay unified. I'm not entirely sure how true what they're saying is, but I'm hoping that everyone sticks to their word, and I can get people to prove loyalty. I'm nervous about Sarah and Kendall, but I'm thinking that if I can just get Brian to load all of his trust into me, i should be good.

I know I have Tommy because Tommy just sat on call with me for an hour and ran through every single tribal that has happened so far for the Villains and why they all happened, and I think I know my fair share of information, but the main problem is that I don't see too many cracks into these three on my tribe, so I'm just hoping the heroes I'm going to tribal with have an answer. Time to see what Pippa, Isaac, Alex and Andrew have to offer while my two inactive Hero tribemates are GONE (rolls eyes)

So I finally get in contact with my ex heroes, and they all want to vote for Jonathan, which is absolutely perfect for me because it essentially means that I don't need to worry about voting someone out of my tribe, and we can maintain numbers, which would be awesome, but now that's very NOT likely to happen because after talking to them all collectively, it seems that they want to take out BRIAN from my tribe, which is no bueno because Steffen and I are trying to get together that whole Crow, Brian, him and I thing, and we can't really do that without Brian, so now I have to do damage control to try to get the vote going my way. My preferred option would be Sarah or Jonathan going because I like the rest of the villains, and Sarah proposes the biggest threat on my tribe

Trying to get Sarah out is starting to become a piece of work. I really just want the Heroes on the other tribe to respect my decision as easily as I would've respected theirs, and that's not at all what I'm getting here. I want to vote for Sarah because she has the BEST position on my tribe right now, and by using other numbers to take her out, it gives me the advantage and an easy path to merge and out of this swap fucked tribe, but instead, because Isaac and Alex C. want to take out Brian, they aren't budging and they're being selfish as shit not wanting to take out the person i want to take out, to help me get closer to merge, and it's really starting to piss me off because I was A okay with getting out Jonathan when they asked me to, so now I'm in a whole new other bind. Trace told me last night that the Villains wanted to target Alex C, and I'm actually starting to think this might not be a bad idea. Previously, had we lost a few times on the Heroes, that's someone I really would've wanted to target, and now is my best chance to take him out while gaining the trust of some of the villains. It's a VERY risky move though because straying away from some very loyal Heroes might bite me in the butt later on, and I'm honestly not sure if I'm looking to piss off a whole lot of people, especially people on my own tribe who will be pissed if this is happening. I know that Tommy wants Alex C. gone, but I'm curious if Sarah wants the same, because if she does, then I can use that to get it back to Alex C., and then maybe he'll actually change his mind and vote Sarah out. I don't know how this is going to go, but all I know is that I'm pretty annoyed at this point, and I might have to let Brian go, which ruins a lot of plans I wanted to have down the line, and limits the amount of power I might be having in the game.

tbh the fact that Alex, Isaac and Pippa seemingly discussed that Jonathan would be the move, and then threw it into a group chat, and then changed it again without telling me, and are strong arming me to vote for Brian is not at all making me happy, and honestly rather pissed off. I might vote out a hero this round. My rationale is pretty strong and they're excluding me HARD. I've got a group of Heroes I trust, and that's Steffen, Dom, Trace, Ashton, Drew, and on the side Andrew BIG TIME. It ain't Alex C., Kendall, Isaac or Pippa, and those just so happen to be a lot of the people in question this round. I think I want to vote out any of those four people, who just so happen to all be vulnerable this round. Let's play ball because I'm honestly ready for it. I have an idea.

This is by far the messiest round I've been a part of ever in my TS experience. Sarah knows I wanted her out, and she said she still wants to work with me, and now all my fire is fueled by the fact that I want to go full force at taking out one of the heroes, who is responsible for her finding out. I can't take out Alex C, because Sarah wants Alex C. in the game, so my best option is to just tell Sarah that I'd vote for Isaac with her, Tommy, Brian, Jonathan, Junior, and then hopefully I can bring Trace into this, and we can start breaking a part the other side of the heroes, and Trace and I can slide by another day, with the four other people I trust most sitting pretty on the brawn tribe, and then I am safe, hopefully able to not let Sarah target me after this round, but as of right now, my sights are set on Isaac, and I think it's time for him to go home.

This game is tough, to be quite honest. Like, I love Sarah to death. She's a fantastic person. But because we were on opposite sides it makes it really hard to try and save her this round. I want Brian out solely because Brian doesn't talk to me at all. But they all want Sarah out and it's like... what the hell can I do about it? It's not like I can go up all Mr. Macho and demand we vote off Brian. I'm trying to stay in this game, and I'm not going to jeopardize mine because Sarah wants to stay.

Imagine a game in which everyone bends to what person wants. The wishes of that person could be completely non-beneficial, but because they are an opinionated person everyone will just go with it. If you guessed BB19, you're right! If you also guessed this game, you're pretty right! Because this has turned into the fuckin do what Alex wants game because he just whines and then people listen :  ) I heard as a child that whining doesn't fly in the real world but then again this is an online game so who care, right? Now Alex is a sweet kid. I've grown to like him, but that doesn't mean I won't drag what has so far been bad gameplay on his end. Let's list: 1) Him and Kendall having no subtlety in trying to control the Malaysians/Solomons/Indians. 2) Handing Drew an idol when we could have been establishing better relationships with someone like Dom. Yes I know Drew can use it for us but that guy is not to be trusted more than Dom in my opinion. 3) Trying to keep Sarah around when she's not even debatably - just IS one of the biggest threats in the game. So now him and Kendall are fighting for Brian to go and like yeah I'm not a fan of him but he has barely any control in this game? And they preach that Sarah will flip to us and I'm like but how do you really know.png? So this is just pissing off Johnny, Isaac is mad at Johnny for bringing Sarah's name up to Alex in the first place, and Drew is suggesting Tommy as a compromise. And I just REALLY think we need to go for Sarah. Like yeah fine I guess I'd go for Brian but Sarah told me she heard brains are going for Brian so if we're all being duped and there's an idol play then one of us heroes on the brains is fucked. And it'll probably be me! I will kms if I go out on Day 19. Honestly fuck all of these people like this isn't time for your personal agendas to be clashing because that's when shit goes wrong. It's a joint tribal so why not make it simple and not be a bunch of assholes? Because not only is everyone confused but now everyone's mad at each other so thank you Alex and Kendall for being real team players :)))) And idk wtf to even tell Junior and Jonathan. Like I told them I want Brain strong and specifically said to Junior that I think we need to keep brains together for challenge reasons. Hopefully he bought it yeah. Anyway I know that the people who would vote Sarah are myself, Pippa, Isaac, Johnny, and Trace. But that's 5. Aka not majority. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 

I can't even think about tribal council. Too many people are going in one direction, Alex C. is pissing me the FUCK off, and I'm losing my mind. My head hurts from this mess, and my heart hurts because I'm about to vote out Isaac, who i really like, but in order to get to the merge, and the next phase of this game, I need to keep the people on my TRIBE happy, and that's just what I'm doing. Isaac, you're about to be a victim of Alex's douche cockery.

The vote ended up landing on tommy I guess? Bc Alex decided to be a condescending asshole which Isaac said he was just mad bc it felt like no one was listening to him but at that point it's just common courtesy to not be an ass yeah? So Alex is on my shit list and johnnys too probs bc that's just toxic for an alliance. I don't wanna have a heart attack from one alliance member every time bc they decide to be rude and treat me like an idiot 5 year old! This is all granted I stay tho bc tbh if they target someone over here then it'll be me and if they target someone over there itlll probably be trace. But we all had to settle on tommy. I compared receipts in our big alliance and he literally mutually promised to everyone that they wouldn't vote each other out so bye! I don't feel bad! And hopefully if they're idoling someone then they'll idol Brian. It needs to be a blindside. This is starting to look like a villains game so if I need to get a little spicy then oh well I'm not bothered. But if I get out on day 19 I think I'll definitely have a severe emotional breakdown so yeah : )

Tfw your alliance is crumbling around you because Johnny, Andrew, Alex, & Kendall are stupid. They all want to be running the show. And I'm just sitting here letting them gain reason to distrust one another. So originally Brian was going home, then it flipped to Sarah, then it flipped again to Tommy and I think he's going to get blindsided tonight whew. He made protection deals with like 9 people so he has it coming yeah. Also I found the brain Idol! I'm so excited. I really want to do well this season and redeem myself and reinvent my game and I think I'm doing pretty well so far. I hope I don't let y'all down.

Hi I don't know how to mind my own business! So since I have connections with both Johnny and Sarah I got to hear both sides of what was going at this tribal and based on my calculations, Isaac should be going home in approximately an 8-4 over Brian. me somehow getting involved in their mess me also about to be first boot out of nagoya my social priorities are NOT in check
