#but i wanna try other things and ive spent like 2 hours today painting a little apron....

[pebblethief]

true to form, my second project with my new* art medium (non-pixel digital art) is something overly ambitious and I'm currently in the "hhhhh I want to be done with this I want to try new things! and I'm Not Quite Happy with this bc I know I'm new!!! it's taking tooooo loooong to be done!!" frustration stage

my first one was the book, which was 80% "gotta see if this laptop still *functions* enough for me (genuine concern, partly why my friend upgraded) so it was just a small thing

but #2 is a fully rendered portrait of my Apawthecaria character, and I've not done a lot of anthropomorphised animals and I'm not used to being able to *texture* and it is just A Lot

and I really should have started with something simpler lol

I *am* finding drawing on this a billion times more comfortable than with my poor neglected huion tablet though, it feels so much nicer to draw on

*ok technically not /new/ but I can probably count the actual paintings I've done digitally on my fingers and none in a while

Ep. 4: “Please Send Help” - Ned

KEVIN

honestly I'm kinda sad Jay went home i was looking forward to voting him out bc he voted me out one time and it was mean :/ he had it coming :/ anyways this tribe swap...yikes! i always flop at schoolyard pick swaps bc i'm asleep and i delay everything skdjdjssj so honestly just cancel this swap 

VAN

So I do the finishing touches on my Econ paper and I look back and see that we’re swapping tribes! Okay, that’s fine, I sorta expected that. Interacting with the other tribe will be fun and all, right? We’re all in this chat, and a few minutes later, I notice that I have a notification that I had joined the Iloa tribe! NED PICKED ME BECAUSE I DRAFTED HIM IN BANGLADESH I’M SCREAMING. I actually wanted to work with him in a game sometime in the future and I��m glad it’s worked out this way. I had to pick, and I wanted to pick Coffey, but I didn’t want to make it obvious that I want to work with him so I went with Ned’s suggestion to pick Sam. Hey, that’s all cool with me. Ned can make decisions for me and I’ll go with them…for now. :p And hey Coffey ended up on my tribe anyway so it all worked out in the end :D So for my new tribe impressions like I love this tribe. We seem so strong and I love everyone like Ned: Literally in love that he picked me first AHHH. I like him and I’d love to work with him if it’s possible but I literally want to work with everyone so idk how that’s gonna turn out Sam: She seems so nice like I love her too John Coffey: I already talked about much I love him. I’d love to work with him again but who knows what he wants. I’ll see how he’s feeling once we’re fully settled in Kait: I like Kait a lot of course and I’d still love to work with her if I can Forrest: I love Forrest too! Like!!! I know I’m sounding like a broken record but I do love Forrest And last but not least Billy: Our tribe “Ricky” seems very sweet and nice too. I’m still waiting on the twist that will bring him and Ricky into the game but we’ll see. Oh my gosh though hopefully this will be fun though! I was ready for a change.

ASHLEY

Well I fell asleep before tribal and got a self-vote, and Jay went he was in my alliance with me, him, John, and Sam but he seemed like he almost had too much power so I'm some-what glad he went. I said I didn't know he was leaving but I actually did, because Pat who I'm really close with had heard from Ned and Dan that they were voting Jay, so I knew that it was very possible he was going. And now it's a swap! It's 3 original Miti vs 3 original Iloa, I'm trying to stay Iloa strong, and Dan says he's pretty close with Amanda so she could be our 4th number to not force a tie, unless she has strong ties with original Miti.

NED

So the swap happened. I got Sam and John on my tribe, and we also have Van, Kait, and Forrest. I would be totally fine with this, except it was just revealed that Kait was a sockpuppet in my first "all newbies" season, and she teamed up with the other sock to vote me out. Now let me get things straight: Kait is a sneaky, vile person, and she's rude and I have nothing good to say about her. She acts friendly but is a completely horrible person if you actually try to have a genuine talk with her. This is like Francesca getting put on a tribe with Phillip in Caramoan. I'm with the person responsible for my downfall in the same situation twice in a row. If I'm the swap boot again because of her, I will not be surprised in the least. Please send help.

KEVIN

LISTEN OKAY I had to get my beauty sleep last night so people better not come for me for flopping at the challenge, and I'm sure there are plenty of others who were asleep at that time (did we get all the early sleepers or something on this tribe???) So either I'm gonna have to kick ass in the challenge and hopefully redeem myself or...I possibly have a kinda crazy plan that will save me, maybe, but only if I need it.

SAMANTHA

I JUST FOUND AN IDOL! I AM SO HAPPY! I really don't want to tell anyone, because I don't know who I want to work with. I'm going to keep this to myself for a while. And I don't want to play it yet. I want to save it for as long as possible. Omg I can't believe I found one. Now just one other to worry about. If it hasn't been found yet, it's either at the stream, the field, or the well. I'm definitely going to start looking every four hours now that I know about that rule. I thought it was just one freebie per round. But knowing I can look like 6 times a day and I have it narrowed down to 3 places. One of which I have some other peoples' guesses to start off with, hopefully I can find the other. This is just so exciting omg. Oh and I know he's not playing, but I love Billy so much <3

SAMANTHA

So pissed about immunity. I fucked up my part, which normally I wouldn't be as upset bc everyone is equal, but this one i was put at a higher level, meaning I should have down better. I only spent like 2 minutes on the maze but I spend fucking 5 minutes trying to figure out how to edit the thing. I put it on light shot and tried to edit but the maze was too small and the pencil was too thick, I finally gave up and had to download it and edit with paint. I'm pissed that I took so long. I hope my tribe doesn't try to blame me for taking a higher level than I actually am and blame me for if we lose. Ugh I hate this. 

AMANDA

TRIBE SWAP TRIBE SWAP CALLED IT CALLED IT! And i got to stay with Ricky so YAY hahaha Here's my new tribe assessment woo! Ashley- I'm pretty sure we've only talked once rip Dan- Um well ive known him since i was like 12 lmfao We went to school together so the ties have been here for a while. I'm not turning on him unless he gives me a reason to. and if he gives me a reason i'll give him hell for it haha Kevin- Like i said in my last confessional, we talk alot. I still wanna work together moving forward. Nicky- We've been talking more for sure. Pat- I LOVE PAT. Ive hosted Pat multiple times but we've never gotten to play together so when i saw him on the cast i was pumped. aka why i picked him first with the tribe swap lmaooo I really wanna work with Dan Pat and Kevin. Dan said he wants me him and Pat to stick together so im almost there with my goals lol I want Ashley to leave this week because she doesn't talk. Also Dan said she flops with challenges and came at him last week? so yeah thats not gonna fly. But Pat seems to want Nicky gone so I gotta figure this out. At the end of the day im not gonna put my neck out there to save either of them this week and then screw myself over in the process but id def rather see Ashley go. I can't wait for America to hate me for wanting another girl to leave! Yas America call me trash!  Sorry id rather work with guys and win! https://media.tenor.co/images/e8b7a7627e607872f02a69abcb6a2720/raw

KEVIN

the question is, do i want to go to rocks for these people??? would i be willing to flip on them??? we just don't know. i have no idea what the other tribes dynamics are, but i'm hoping miti is united enough from our two tribals to stand together this tribal 

KEVIN

Me having multiple number one alliances and trying to keep them all alive at once? More likely than you think Dan told me that it's between Ashley and Nicky, and praise God because he's going forward Nicky. Not only that but apparently Iloa (which i thought was named Ilda until today) was very divided after their last tribal. This is honestly my FAVORITE song and I'm gonna keep it on repeat as long as I can. Dan also said he has talked to me and likes me the most out of everyone else...don't know if that's true but I love the concept of it. I'm telling people I'm not super concerned with tribal affiliations which technically is true but um...it's mostly just a way for me to get information out of people. But yeah things seem like they're swinging our way unless Dan decides to make a #bigmove and blindside us, and in that case I'll still be in comfort because I know he will fail to reach any success in this game! :)

ASHLEY

Yikes tc tonight and my iconic comp skills are on point! So people want me out but pat told me nicky so I'm just going to write down Nicky and pray for a miracle!
