Bejo stared at the stranger with dead eyes. There was nothing in his cold eyes. He was a man broken beyond repair but he refused to show how weak he was. "I suppose I shouldn't." He said. "You know how to fix it?" He asked over the blaring alarm.

She didn't know who this person was but he gave her the same feelings she had the moments before she was to be staked by Triad before being sent back to the past. No, she couldn't just assume anymore, she wasn't in capture anymore. "I wouldn't have kicked it," she mused, arms folded. "I think the whole neighborhood is awake now"

Hi mj

How well do your characters interact with children? Rank them please.

Oh boy lol I'll do twtr because they actually do interact with children a bit on the page!!

I'll just do the main recurring cast and good guys <3

Red is super good with kids and loves them. Very wholesome, very affectionate and playful and A+ mom material in the future tbh.

Riya Maya is very Grandma™ energy for a reason and she also is a good teacher. A blend of parental sternness and good at setting age-appropriate boundaries but also being warm and showing compassion

Avery is by no means bad with kids he just has a bit of the tism awkwardness around them and doesn't know quite what to do. Once he warms up though he is actually quite good with them and kids find him refreshing and trust him quickly because he doesn't do that child talk/fakeness that a lot of adults do (also he's a knight and kids think he's Cool™)

Magnus is like one of those strict sports coaches in high school lol he has softened a bit with age by the time the book starts and he does show a bit more affection, but especially when he was younger he was very stern and unrelenting, definitely impatient

Thanks for the ask!!

1, 9, 13 and 25 for riya and jorina from the romance meme!

ty!!! 💜💜 // romance & relationship headcanons

1. what is your muse's sexual/romantic orientation?

RIYA — bi princess 🥰 [some rambling about other thoughts on this topic in the next question] 

JORINA — also bisexual, and i've had some occasions of bouncing around thoughts of her potentially being demi as well. explains her lack of a romantic history (aka being entirely uninterested in pursuing romance) and beginning to crush on aleksi after she's gotten to spend a good amount of time with him on missions.

9. is your muse monogamous or polyamorous? would they be interested in a polyamorous relationship?

RIYA — i was thinking about this the other day and am still in somewhat of a "i could be debated out of my choice if the right points were brought up" space around it, but i could see her as polyamorous. i think she’s had past experience and learned a lesson or two (not as many as she should have but hey that's riya), and would certainly require a long starting discussion on boundaries/comfort levels and frequent check-ins as things go along, but i could see it. the biggest issue here would be her suffering jealousy, but that’s rarely a problem for her and could be solved with clear communication (which i simply don’t see her struggling with since she talks about fuckin’ anything loudly and openly, as i’ve discovered through dadnd sessions).

JORINA — monogamous, i don’t think she’d be able to handle polyamory tbh. she already has to juggle a lot of self-doubt with just one partner, her overthinking would go into overdrive if somebody else was in the picture. I’M gonna have a panic just thinking about how worked up she’d get over it lmao

13. what traits does your muse value in a romantic partner?

RIYA — rough because riya’s had numerous partners and the range of personalities is Insane, she’s not consistent in type. some general ones: romantic, passionate, direct, confident, supportive, brave. circling back after finishing other answers to add that sensual, patient and adventurous also come to mind.

JORINA — loyal, courageous, reliable, honest are all the ones she could have expected. romantic and optimistic are ones she discovered great appreciation for along the way, learned that she values having a partner that's an opposite in some ways to bring her a new perspective.

25. does love and romance mean a lot to your muse? do they seek it constantly or let it come when it does?

RIYA — i’d say it’s high-up on the top 5 of her priorities list because of the easy life she’s had. i can’t see her having trouble with or a preference for either, there have been times where romance/attraction has fallen into her eager lap and also plenty of occasions where she’s sought after it herself because she feels a lack. i’m including sexual ventures in this consideration just because it's riya, but if we take that bit away then it’s probably a bit lower on the priorities list. slut (but said as a goof and with all of the affection in the world she's valid there's a lot of hotties around)

JORINA — didn’t seek it out at all, was absolutely gobsmacked when it showed up. they weren't things that meant a lot to her until she suddenly found them in the midst of the inquisition, and because that work was so dangerous it helped in how quickly they became important to her. she'd been all business for so long, it was uncomfortable and unfamiliar to start but so gratifying to discover with aleksi what love and romance could mean.

[disventurecamptakes]

Riya Sharma is the nastiest skank bitch I've ever met. Do not trust her. She is a fugly slut!!!/c

[decoraclytie]

Clytie's eyes teared up hearing the words. "Yeah..."Clytie sniffled and looked at her. "I hate the fucking Triad. For what they did..."She said. She looked at her. "Are you doing well?"

She raised a brow, surprised someone managed to escape but glad that a person was able to break out of there - it almost made it seem like it truly wasn't invincible. "Haven't seen many familiar faces from there, it's... nice that I'm not the only one"

It's Puppy hybrid brother (Spot) vs Bunny hybrid sister (Riya) vs Pokémon friend (Fuse) vs Creator friend (@murumokirby360) in this FFA (Free for All) race! :D

Baco: Go Spot, you can do this. :D

Alex: I bet Riya would win against her bro, and their friends too. :)

Bobby: I hope Miya and Aace would see this.

[quackle]

Just caught up with information about the recent DCAS episode and... yikes... I'm going to drop this show tbh.

im gonna rant under the cut but tldr: fuck this show and i'm done <3

yeah atp i'm gonna drop it too. it gets so tiring seeing all these offensive things happen, and when people (rightfully!) critique said things, they're met with, "but it's fictional," or "that's what the character calls for," or "you're just being sensitive." you don't get to argue against someone who says, "saying a slur is bad, even if a character you created is racist." like that shouldn't be something you hear and then respond with "but-" WTF IS THERE TO ARGUE ABOUT ARE YOU FUCKING DUMBBBBBB?

and it's like. ok cool or whatever, they removed That Line of Dialogue from the spanish dub a few hrs ago. but A) it still happened and we're not gonna forget that shit, B) no public statement at all regarding it? like at all as of yet??? their silence is so loud (and no, their lil "we're looking into this" message in discord is NOT proper public acknowledgement), C) people on the team or certain fans defending it or using the argument "it's a part of yul's character blah blah blah he's fictional anyway" is not the thing anybody should be saying right now, ESPECIALLY towards anyone brazilian and/or black, and D) nothing will ever erase the fact that the line containing an actual slur used against actual people in real life was not only improvised by someone who shouldn't be saying that, but it was approved and then added into a show for people to see and hear. did they think that shit was cool? funny? interesting? because it's not, not at all

and that's just about the slur! the constant racism against rosa maria + riya, the fatphobia against grett, the casual homophobia- why the fuck are they keeping a character like this around for THIS long? why did they bring him back at ALL? that's NOT an all star. that's the dimmest fucking piece of shit i've ever seen in my life fucking hell what were they thinking like............

idk. the good stuff about this show doesn't even begin to cloud over all this bullshit it brings. it's just so disappointing that something i grew to like earlier this year turned to... this shit

🍀A Night With Nina🍀 - Total Drama Viewer Reacts to Disventure Camp Season 2 Episode 8 “Nightmare At Tipiskaw”

TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD & GORE

Okay, this italicized part is an EDIT after the reaction. I need to put up a trigger warning for this episode as a reason why I might not show as many images as usual.

I don't think it's as bad as it could've been, otherwise I think OddNation would get demonetized. But to be on the safe side, THIS EPISODE/THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE HEMOPHOBIC.

I WILL put a TW in the tags as well so they don't see the post. But in case your account doesn't have the filter for this sort of thing, HERE'S YOUR WARNING.

Been awhile since the events of my life yaddy yada.

I don't have an intro.

Enjoy the reaction:

OH NO THE GO KARTS ARE BACK XD

Those karts are gonna be the DEATH of someone. I swear.

They almost killed a kid once.

"I'm the one who does the accounting. Remember?"

YOU?!

So that's where our taxes go...

"Because if I do it, I would be admitting that I was wrong!"

Dang. She's a brat.

But I get why. So I'm interested.

Oh the doll is recapping XD

Okay I like that. That's a good twist and shake up.

OH CHRIST

OH THAT ACTUALLY JUMPSCARED ME. OH MY GOD.

THIS DOLL'S GONNA KILL EVERYONE, I SWEAR.

"In fact, I was thinking of getting a tattoo when this is all over."

Okay, Lake, honey, I think that's going too far.

WAIT WHOA WHAT

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?!

WHAT?! THERE WAS NO BUILD UP!!

"Attention campers, an immunity totem has been hidden somewhere in the camp!"

An idol is back?

T h e i d o l s a r e b a c k . . . ?

WELL THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO KEEP IT A SECRET FROM THE AUDIENCE.

What was the point of keeping it a secret from the audience?

I WOULD'VE LOVED TO KNOW ROSA HAD AN IDOL.

I-

I'm losing my mind already.

Just by LOOKING at an idol. I lose it.

I'm going to abstract. I have PTSD with idols now.

GET THAT IDOL OUT OF MY FACE!!!

"I found the totem minutes before the queens challenge started."

Wasn't Riya with you? Shouldn't Riya already know about this?

Considering, you know:

"You had a couple of hours to find the totem, and just minutes before the challenge started, it was finally found."

Wait what?

We didn't see who had it?

Are they keeping it a secret on who found it?

KRYSTAL SAID THAT. I REMEMBER IT.

I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER IT BECAUSE I REACTED TO THAT LINE.

Riya should already know. Right?

Unless she's secretly planning to steal it.

OH GOD THE COUNTER IS BACK.

STEAL THE IDOL FROM ROSA

NO SHE HEARD ME.

She's like "Yeah Rosa. Bold of you to trust me with that info. Not like I could think strategically, see you and Lake are threats, and steal that idol from you to dump your asses! I AM A FAMOUS AC-TOUR AND I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY POWER!"

Why did I say that with a British accent? SHE'S INDIAN. COME ON ME.

I'm sorry for the disrespect, Riya! You can slay! This is my way of saying sorry, queen!

I love Rosa and don't want anyone to slay her, but I'm also like "DO IT YOU WON'T. DO IT YOU WON'T."

"I was searching with Rosa that day, and now that Lake is in the alliance is when she decides to reveal that she found the totem?! Why didn't she tell me before?! Does she not trust me?"

EXACTLY. THEY'RE ADDRESSING THIS.

Now Riya thinks her only 'friend' is going to blindside her and backstab her and leave her behind.

MAYBE YOUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED IF YOU STOLE THE IDOL? HMMM? JUST A SUGGESTION?

"Maybe we should have focused that afternoon on the game so we go far together."

UH, YEAH, THAT WAS ON YOU GUYS.

Are they better or worse than Reality TV's Stupidest Alliance? I can't tell. But that's up there.

DON'T BLAME TESS FOR ANYTHING. SHE CHOSE TO ACCEPT HER FATE.

BLAME ANYONE, BLAME THESE GUYS.

"Meet me at the race track in fifteen minutes."

UH, SIR. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FIFTEEN MINUTES.

"Sorry for the wait, Marcus had a little accident."

DID THE DOLL KILL HIM?!

I can believe that, actually.

"I am more than happy to invite all of you to my fun game."

OH NO IT'S SAW

"Have you already forgotten that the puppet spoke when I held it?"

"I'm pretty sure that thing is a demon that's gonna kill us."

"Best thing is to ignore all of that and enjoy this night off."

Rosa, I love you, but you have a death wish.

"Let's go to the lake to see the stars."

"Great idea, Lake!"

Ah, AH? I get the pun.

"But first, I'm going to take a shower."

Well, we know who's dead.

"How about we watch... a horror movie?"

James, you secretly enjoy this, don't you?

OH NO AND THEN HE PUTS AN ARM AROUND HIM...

AND THEN THE CREEPY MUSIC PLAYS?!

LIKE GOD, YOU CAN'T NOT TELL ME THAT MAKES THE GESTURE SINSTER!

"Maybe when we're done and you're scarred, we can go behind the bushes and MAKE LOOOOOVEEEE..."

"HASHTAG EXPLICIT AO3 FANFICTION!! FOR THE GAY SERVICE!"

James. You make me uncomftorable.

OH GOD SHE IS A DEMON. SHE HAS HIM CAPTIVE.

I don't like how he's tied up...

XD

Okay that bitch slap got a laugh out of me. XD

Why is the popcorn already in the pan like that?

If it was left out there, I don't want to eat it.

"I'm following you."

XD

Okay, my brain went to, "I'm following you... ON INSTAGRAM!"

And James reaction is, "Oh neat! You follow me on Instagram? Great!"

PLEASE tell me that's the joke!

"Ew. Another follower who gets my number."

Oh... close enough.

"Do you like them better than your boyfriend Aiden?"

Why do you care about that?! Hello?! ANOTHER predator?

"He's not my boyfriend..."

Oh really? So what was the kiss? What was the attitude? What's with sleeping together? THESE AREN'T FRIENDLY GESTURES MATE.

This man's a predator, I swear to god...

You know what? GET HIM SERIAL KILLER.

Man, if only Yul was still here. Then I could watch hm get killed.

That would've been an excuse to keep him, at least.

OH JESUS CHRIST. WTF?!

I DIDNT EXPECT THAT. HOLY SHIT

HE ACTUALLY DIED?!?!?

Oh shit…

IS THIS VR AGAIN?! IS THAT WHAT THIS IS?! HUH?!

That's actually creepy holy shit...

Why does that remind me of something from FNAF?

Okay, why are we watching her shower? Come on now. We know she's dead.

Yep. There we go.

Bye Allyson.

RULE NUMBER ONE OF SURVIVING A HORROR MOVIE, NEVER TAKE A SHOWER.

GOOD THING THE SERIAL KILLER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PUT A TOWEL AROUND HER XD

THAT'S NICE OF THEM.

Why was she wearing shoes in the shower?

"That puppet..."

Okay I know he's supposed to be angry, but he said that so DEADPANNED and I cant take it seriously.

Welp, Hunter's dead.

The doll just killed him herself XD

Oh you poor, poor, stupid boy.

The best girls can take em!

OH GOD

HEEEEEERRE'S JOHNNY!!

NO RIYA!! NOT THE QUEEN!!

"Do you know how to start the car without keys?"

"Yes, and don't ask me how."

Oh geez, Rosa. How many crimes did you commit for your child?

"You're going to be screwed for what you did, bastard!"

YES. SLAY QUEEN. AVENGE YOUR QUEEN.

LET ROSA COOK.

ROSA NO DON'T STAY BEHIND. NO QUEEN! DON'T!

"I grew up in a neighborhood where seeing assholes with weapons threatening others was the daily norm."

Geez, what a backstory. BEFORE DEATH.

HOW IS ROSA SO GOOD?

NOOO ROSA!!!!

YES LAKE!!! FIGHT EM!!! SAVE YOURSELF!!!

GET OUT, QUEEN!!!

OH SHE'S GOT EM

"That's for attacking my friends!"

"Auf Wiedersehen."

Guys? Lake is AWESOME? THE HELL?

NOOOO LAKE!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!

Oh they're alive.

I mean I knew it. Still. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WITHOUT VR?!

I'm so confused.

BRUH. SHE'S NAKED STILL.

This is kinda uncomftorable

"Ketchup?"

Okay but why play dead though? I don't get it.

"Tranquilizers?"

Oh okay.

I still don't get it.

WAIT WHAT THE HELL?! HELLO?!

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE. WHAT THE HELL?!

WHY ARE YOU BACK?! WHY'D YOU AGREE TO DO THIS?

"But the producers gave me the opportunity to get back in the game if I cooperated for a challenge."

She's back?!

WHY ARE YOU BACK?

I didn't want her back. WHY?

"I hope that from now on, we can get along."

YOU KILLED EVERYONE.

"She also has immunity for her and two people of her choosing."

What? Come on now. Are you kidding me?

"Sorry guys, but the immunities go to Ally and Hunter."

Of course. I kinda figured.

IT'S PLOT ARMOR. IT'S BLATANT PLOT ARMOR.

They didn't even win. But the game became RIGGED to keep them around.

"We will have to vote for one of the girls. There is no other option."

BULLSHIT. LAKE WAS ROBBED.

TWICE.

"Which one would you vote for?"

"Lake?"

And now they're gonna boot her.

GODDAMMIT.

"I think we'll be voting for different people at this ceremony."

WELP. So James is screwed. Bye James.

"And as if that weren't enough problems already, Karol returned who hates us!"

"I mean she KILLED us for crying out loud!"

"I was the one who accused her in front of everyone."

And yet you take this so casually that you're gone tonight as a result?

"Of course I remember, and not once have I seen her blame you for it."

I mean, she should. He outted his own plan in front of her.

"She went to me! Only to me! She called me a traitor and she wants me out of the game!"

Really? Where was that scene?

"I hope you leave soon, Aiden! You are a traitor!"

🙄

James makes Aiden's life worse. I swear.

OH GOD.

KAROL JUMPSCARE.

"Aiden, calm down. I will not vote for you, nor for James, so don't worry, okay?"

Oh? Why?

"I'm just trying to turn the page and start over."

Are you serious? I can't tell if she's honest or not.

"But my therapist says that resentment is a drag on the road to recovery."

Oh. Maybe she is serious.

"How about Lake? There are already two challenges that she was very close to winning."

And the game was RIGGED AGAINST MY QUEEN.

Doesn't matter though, cause Rosa has an idol and can play it on Lake.

"I wanted to propose that we vote together in this ceremony."

Oh god no...

Riya the traitor?

STEAL THE IDOL YOU WON'T. STEAL IT YOU WON'T.

"Hmmm, who would it be?"

And the fact that she's intrigued.

The worst part is that it's not actually a bad strategic move. James's only lifeline is Aiden, and Aiden is a damn floater who would crumble without him. And if Hunter and Allyson are gonna work with her to take out two bigger threats, then...

Shit...

"Well, if what Ally said is true, Lake could be voted out tonight. I could tell Rosa to save her with her totem, but I have to think if that's really what I want..."

Oh so this is a test for Riya.

Friends or money? Hmmm...

"If someone has an immunity totem and wants to play it, now is the time to do it."

Ooh...

COME ON. PLAY IT. PLAY IT.

PLAY THE IDOL!!!

"Well, no one, so lets read the votes."

GODDAMMIT NOOOOO

'JAMES'

I hope it's James. Honestly.

'RIYA'

Wh-who voted Riya?

GODDAMMIT AIDEN. YOU DOOMED LAKE BY DOING THAT.

'LAKE'

There it is.

'JAMES'

'LAKE'

'JAMES'

Oh? Riya didn't flip? Or is that Karol?

'LAKE'

OH GOD NO...

NOOOOOOO GODDAMMIT!!!!

WITH AN IDOL SHE HAD ACCESS TO AS WELL. THAT'S THE WORST.

GIRLIE WAS ROBBED. SHE SHOULD'VE WON THAT IMMUNITY.

"Lake... it can't be."

DON'T ACT SURPRISED. YOU THREW YOUR VOTE.

YOU COULD'VE MADE IT A TIE. JUST SAYING.

"So sad you have to go, Lake."

That sounded so fake.

"Oh no... who could've predicted this? Sooooo saaaaaaaddd... Here's my sad face of pity.😪"

That's a better Indian accent I guess. I'm not good at Indian accents, I'm sorry.

"I'm sorry, Lake. I should have used the totem to save you."

Yeah. You should've.

"Now I am free, thanks to you."

Awwwww.

"I love you, Rosa."

"Awwww, I love you too."

AWWWWWW, MOTHER DAUGHTER

Riya's like "Uh... YEAH... I love you too Lake... no I didn't betray you what are you talking about?"

That was Episode 8.

GODDAMMIT LAKE NOOOO.

Lake was robbed. I will not be convinced otherwise. That was a very unfair elimination.

Karol's back. And... nice now? Even though she killed everyone? Idk.

I don't know why she's here.

Rosa has an idol. Riya decided to be a dirty traitor.

Which I'm intrigued by.

I made a JOKE in a previous reaction. Idk which one. About Riya being the evil queen. DID I CALL IT?

We'll see. Idk yet. But that's funny if I DID call it.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE PUT THE BEST GIRLS IN THE HEADING.

Hunter and Allyson officially have plot armor. You can't convince me otherwise.

STEAL THE IDOL RIYA. YOU WON'T. DO IT YOU WON'T.

Disventure Camp All Stars Power Rankings (Round 11)

Heading into the latter half of the season, things are sure to get interesting! Let's hope we can reach a finale everyone can be happy with, hm?

In case you haven't seen my previous power rankings ( 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 ), the Power Ranking Format is essentially a way of ranking how well each player is doing in the game. So, in essence, this is a long form way of predicting who I think will be eliminated from the competition in the next episode. There will be spoilers for last week's episode (obviously) and its power ranking, so make sure to read that first if you don't want to be spoiled on how I ranked our last boot. If you want more clarification on the rules, that first post will help you out as well. Furthermore, I'm going to be spoiling the preview for next episode, so if you want to go in TOTALLY blind, save this for later. Let's go!

Recap - Connor's Return!

Current Point Total: 41 acquired / 63 total (same as last time)

Mannnn, how come the one time I'm finally right, I don't get to score any points for it?! I should get to add a bonus +63, just for kicks. That wouldn't mess up my math at all.

Anyways, even though he's not a personal favorite of mine, I already detailed why I thought Connor would be the best character for the writers to bring back in the last power ranking. Plus, we get to hear Michael Kim's voice acting again. He's quite talented, in my opinion, and I felt bad that he was voicing two characters this season only for one of them to be eliminated really early (Connor) and the other to largely disappear for some reason (Oliver).

My current guess for Connor's character is that he'll be a finalist, but that he'll lose. I hope he doesn't win, just because, in-universe, his character needs the money probably the least. Still, after he managed to come back, I feel like it would make sense for him to be in the finale, and he's had a lot of talk about making it to the end now. He'd probably pair with Alec, and not Riya? But, that's assuming both that Alec isn't also in the final 3, and that the two of them proceed from this point to a conclusion of friendship as opposed to rivalry/detestation. Dubious.

Trailer Analysis

The trailer shows a lot of scenes advertising some sort of seemingly important conversation between Gabby and Grett on this beach. I don't know why Gabby is in her swimsuit and Grett isn't, but I doubt it's too important. If the scenes are shown in order, it seems like the pair are hanging out, Grett explains something, and Gabby grows fed up and leaves. Although, crack theory: that last image could be of or to the alternate version of Gabby.

Always nice to see some new relationships forming! Connor seemed to enjoy Advising The Youths in S2, and, boy, do Tom and Jake need some advising. And if he gets to solidify the bonds within the heroes' alliance along the way, all the better. Also, it looks like Jake is on the same beach that Grett and Gabby visit? Angsty beach, I guess.

It seems like this challenge may be some sort of capture the flag at night kind of thing? From what I've surmised, it might be that there's only one flag, and whoever manages to be holding on to it at the challenge's end point will gain immunity.

Yul and Grett are fighting again. Notably, 1) based on the light in the sky, this is probably at the beginning of the challenge, and 2) Grett appears to be sticking up for herself a bit more.

Yeah, here people are, fighting over that individual flag. It seems like Riya and Connor will be allowed to participate in this challenge, despite already having immunity locked in. If one of them wins, would they simply steal that potential immunity from someone else (AKA, only Riya and Connor are immune), or could they choose to give immunity to someone else (AKA, Riya, Connor, and Player C are immune)?

Perhaps Aiden is giving Jake a chance, as per Lake's advice. I just now realized that Jake and Lake are only one letter apart. Maybe it's Aiden's destiny to ultimately befriend people named -ake after the game initially pits them against each other.

Derek is sad about... something.

Ally will wind up with the flag at some point, but Gabby will steal it from her.

Also, there are wolves??? Wait a minute... are Jake and Aiden K-I-S-S-I-N-G?!?!?!? (/j)

Grett will trip Tom when he has the flag. Based on the lighting, this may be very close to the end of the challenge.

This scene might be pretty close to the end of the challenge too, though. Grett and Yul fight off Jake, with seemingly no flag in sight.

"That idiot does realize he's screwed the moment his immunity wears off, right?" "I can't wait."

Although this conversation likely takes place after the challenge is over, I really expect this dialogue to be about Connor (I doubt that ONC would want to spoil that the person who wins the challenge uses he/him in the trailer.) This doesn't really tell us much, other than that Connor doesn't do anything in this episode to rekindle any goodwill with the villains. Shocking. Also, I can't help but feel like this line is steeped in dramatic irony.

Power Ranking

#1: Connor

and

#2: Riya

Not much point in distinguishing between the two because we know for a fact that both of them will have immunity heading into this episode. I don't even know if they can give it up, and, besides, Riya is too selfish and Connor is too in danger for either of them to likely consider doing so. Barring a medical evacuation, there should be no chance that either of these two will be eliminated in the upcoming episode.

#3: Gabby

Why Gabby? Like, seriously, why Gabby? I suppose she could be considered too much of a loose cannon for the villains, but we've now reverted to a 5-5 split. If the villains somehow don't want to work with her, I'm sure the heroes would snatch her up as a free vote. Or, even if she voted completely according to her own whims, it would still be a 5-4-1 in which the heroes probably would not target Gabby.

I really just can't think of anything. It's weird. Like, vibes-wise, I'm not narratively opposed to Gabby going home, I just see no reason why it would happen. Even if she and Grett get into a fight, or if she starts talking to herself more again, is anybody really going to vote her off? Is she that annoying? Is she that threatening? I don't think so.

Gabby also still has some narrative threads that need payoff. First, the reappearance of her alternate self, which the end of last episode put forth as some big revelation. There's also the advice she received from Ellie, which was to backstab the villains before they could get her first. Either or both of things could probably be resolved within one episode, although, the latter would be weird if it ended in her elimination. If she didn't listen to Ellie, I guess? That's counter to, like, Gabby's entire character. She'll be fine for now.

#4: Jake

Speaking of narrative threads, if the writers decided to axe Jake here, it would be so bad. Or at least, it probably would be. You can't just have Ashley tell him to look forward to the future and then have his future be immediate elimination...!!!

But, seriously, it would be a weird turn of events. I guess maybe the plotline could be that Aiden listens to Lake's advice and decides to give Jake a chance, which Jake takes, because character arc. That decision to be selfless and care about others could lead to his elimination... somehow? And also we wrap up whatever the TomJake conclusion is meant to be during this episode? Yeah, seems unlikely.

That's also factoring in that I still see no reason why the villains would want Jake in particular out this time. In the last actual vote we had, the villains were able to seize power because of Jake and Aiden's quarreling. Until the two of them can provenly work together, they're an asset to the villains team. Jake has also competed in five individual elimination challenges without winning a single one. (The closest he got was the underground cave one where Ellie kicked his ass in the end, lmao.) He's truly not much of a threat.

Until he wins the season, that is. I'm sure that part of my want to rank Jake so highly is that I'm currently predicting that he'll be the winner of this season. We've just spent so much time on his various plotlines; it feels like this has to be the season of Jake. But, what do I know? I thought Fiore could win this season, and that was super wrong. We're a long ways out from the finale, but, still, I don't think Jake will go down here.

#5: Grett

As has been Grett's M.O. for a while now, I just don't understand why she would be the target of anyone's fire. Sure, Riya has immunity, which limits one of your villainous options. But, if you're looking for the most threatening villain, it would be Alec, and if you're looking for the villain you want to hang out with the least, it's Yul. Even Gabby is probably more prominent as the most likely double-crosser when it would come to a hit from within the villains alliance itself. It's possible that, if another villain (such as Alec) gains additional immunity, then Grett could become the most strategic or whatever by default. However, at that point, the level of coincidence would be so high that it would feel like the writers were trying to get rid of her, which I don't think they are.

It does seem like Grett is going to get a lot of focus this episode, though, which is theoretically cause for concern. I'd say that the most likely situation in which she goes home this episode is that she gets into a big fight with Gabby, resulting in Gabby agreeing to become a 6th for the heroes on the condition that they vote for Grett. However, this would require Gabby to side with Aiden and Tom, who she has personal beef with, over Grett, who she has a long history of forgiving. I also think that the scene of Grett tripping Tom could indicate that Grett will be the one to wind up with immunity (although the scene where she and Yul fight Jake might argue the opposite), so there's a chance people straight up won't be able to vote out Grett anyway.

While not impossible, I think it would be quite difficult to cut Grett off here while satisfyingly concluding her arc of standing up to Yul. Therefore, immunity or not, I don't think the writers will. And I don't think the players have much of a reason to can her, either.

#6: Ally

I guess it's fitting that Ally winds up in "technically the bad half" because, while I can't think of many particularly good reasons for her elimination, I wouldn't be super surprised if it was her time to go this episode, either. Mostly because of the whole love triangle drama stuff. You hate to see it.

I think it's really the current lack of character dynamics for Ally that makes me worry for her. Like, sure, she's got her rivalry with Jake going on, but... what else? I guess she kind of has an extant relationship with Connor from S2, but... only kind of. She was also in an alliance with Yul in S2, but fat chance that's going anywhere. She voted with Aiden and Tom last vote, and she's shown talking to Tom in the preview! That's... something? Ally isn't even Jake's #1 hater. Girl is suffering.

Furthermore, Ally could theoretically be voted out along the same lines as Ashley for being the least problematic hero left (other than arguably Connor, who has immunity). None of the villains seem to have a particular vendetta against Ally, but that doesn't make her immune.

The main thing is really just that none of those reasons are particularly compelling. Ally could be eliminated, I guess. I don't know. Nothing feels very right about it, though, which makes me think it isn't her time. We'll see. I'm sure Ally knows what a meat shield is, even if she never wanted or expected to be considered as one. Such is the narrative.

#7: Aiden

Aiden does have Riya, Yul, and theoretically Gabby gunning for him, which certainly puts him in danger for elimination. He clearly could be the villains' target... unless?

Hear me out. I think Aiden could be the one to win immunity this episode. What do we see in the trailer? Well, once the sun has fully set, we see Tom holding the flag, until Grett trips him and (presumably) steals it. However, possibly after that, we see Grett and Yul on the ground, Jake having tackled them, with no flag in sight. Where did the flag go? Well, earlier(?) in the episode, we saw Jake and Aiden hiding together in that tree, as well as generally strategizing together. I think it's possible that Aiden will decide to give Jake a chance, at which point Jake will offer himself up as a distraction/sacrifice so that Aiden can steal the flag and win immunity. That kind of plot would work well for where both Jake and Aiden's character arcs are right now, in my opinion.

Of course, it could also be Tom who wins the immunity. If the tackling scene happens fairly immediately after Tom falls, I don't know where the hell he went, and Jake definitely could have offered himself up to help Tom, too. You know what? Let's just...

#8: Tom

I really struggled with whether to put Aiden or Tom first. Even now, I feel like I put them in the wrong order. Hopefully my indecision foreshadows that it won't matter, because neither will happen. Do I finally have my finger on the pulse...?

Personally, I feel like there's been way too much setup for the heroes finally reuniting this episode for anyone other than a villain to go home. We've got Connor vowing to eliminate a villain. We've got Ellie urging Gabby to turn on the villains. We've got Lake advising Aiden and Miriam advising Tom to give Jake a second shot. We've got Tess giving Ally her full support to crush it in the future. We have Ashley's entire elimination motivating Jake! It's possible that the writers could try to make hero drama stretch out a little longer, but I think it'd be better for the show if they didn't. Everything is pointing towards a shakeup to the status quo, and (not that I think the writers should abruptly change their plans for the season to account for what fans want, but) I think that's what the fans desperately crave.

Along those lines, though, if we're going to punt for one more week and allow a hero to go home, I don't think Tom is a terrible choice. His elimination would shake up the very TomJake + Aiden status quo, as opposed to Ally, whose elimination would truly feel like killing time. Tom has erred enough this season with the whole "lying about having a boyfriend" thing that I think his elimination as a casualty of the "twink wars," as Kristal put it, wouldn't feel too unfair. If the writers want to focus on Aiden and Jake building a friendship in the future, I could see them wanting to get rid of Tom to give those two space to breathe. The TomJake angst likely wouldn't be resolved in this episode, but if, say, Jake is in the finale, I could see their plotline being resolved by Tom being Jake's assistant in the end.

The villains do also have reason to target Tom. Although he's engaged in his fair share of catty behavior, he was the one alongside Ashley to propose that Aiden and Jake put aside their differences to work together. More importantly, Tom is almost certainly the physically strongest hero left, so if the villains want to keep the immunities to themselves, it could be good strategy to eliminate Tom before he can go on a challenge run.

Then again, Tom has actually also won 0/4 of the individual challenges he's participated in so far, so. Maybe not as threatening as he seems on paper.

#9: Alec

If it ain't broke, don't fix it: Ashley was the most heroic hero, so if the villains had the choice of who to eliminate, they should take her out. Alec is the most villainous villain (or at least, the ringleader of the crew), so if the heroes had the choice of who to eliminate, they should take him out. Such simple logic turned out to be viable last time!

Yeah, Alec is mostly down here because I think a villain will go home, and I think he's the most sensible villain for the heroes to eliminate if they can. We've also gotten some closure for him and Fiore, now, so to the extent that was keeping him in the game, it won't any longer.

However (unlike Ally), Alec still has other relationships that I think it would be a loss if we didn't see play out more. For instance, what will it be like now that Connor is back in the game? Alec reacted with a lot more hostility to Connor during the last challenge than I had initially expected. But, I'm willing to believe that he was suffering evil brain rot from hanging out with Riya for the last few days and Fiore for the last few minutes. Whether there's a friendship to be salvaged or not, I'd prefer more than one episode to explore what's going on there.

There's also Alec's relationship with Riya, although, honestly, I could see that one turning out interestingly if Alec did go home this week. Thus far, I don't think their friendship has really been set up in a way that foreshadows either of them turning on each other. If I'm right, that would mean that, at some point, one of them will have to go home with the other not involved and still in the game. If Alec goes home as a result of Riya having immunity, I could see it further increasing the animosity between Riya and Connor, which could be cool.

I've made it pretty apparent... everywhere that Alec is one of my favorites, so obviously I'm rooting for him to survive this episode and make it even farther into the game. But, I totally understand if now is his time, and think his elimination could be used to set up cool things for the future. That being said, I do think there's one person who might be a little more likely than Alec to get booted in the upcoming elimination.

#10: Yul

I might have the exact timing slightly off, but personally, I've started to notice that big events in DCAS start being set up about three episodes before they actually happen. Ellie had about three episodes of behaving poorly with Gabby disapproving before it finally resulted in her going home. If Jake finally starts turning things around this episode, I think he vowed to do so about three episodes prior. Hunter was the fourth boot (Episode 5) after him being a subpar boyfriend was set up in Episode 1 and him being mean to Fiore was established in Episode 2. I think Tom coming clean over lying about having a boyfriend was about three episodes after he originally said it. You see what I mean?

Along those lines, although Yul has been a jerk throughout the entire season, I think that Grett started voicing serious concerns about Yul about three episodes ago. And thus, the clock started ticking. It's been long enough now that I think that timer is finally about to ding.

As I mentioned in both Grett and Gabby's sections, it seems like their chat will be important to what goes down in the episode. Personally, I think that either Grett and Gabby will both vote with the heroes to take down specifically Yul, or that Gabby will work with the heroes on her own to eliminate Yul for Grett, if Grett is too hesitant about it. That would be one explanation for Gabby walking out on Grett in the end-- Grett expresses her concerns with Yul, but still can't manage to turn against him, so Gabby angrily leaves, determined to do what's best for Grett even if Grett can't twist the knife herself.

As for Yul's relationships, well... he has Grett and Riya, but obviously neither of those are going to end happily in the long run. His role with Emily seems to have already elapsed. He doesn't have any really sincere or deep connections with anyone, which makes him a lot more expendable when it comes to ongoing plotlines. The most sincere connection he has is probably with James, who he got to talk to last episode. I honestly wonder if that conversation might have been the wrap up to Yul. We learned a lot about him in it: no jokes, no tricks, he really is just a bad guy who hates other people. The fact that he has no depth is his depth. With that answer given, I don't know if we need Yul around anymore.

Also, the fandom is getting sick of him, and for understandable reasons. It's still way better here than it was in S2, in my opinion, because Yul is not in a position of power like he was in S2, but it's true that Yul does bring a sort of foul, negative energy to any scene that he's in. I, at least, usually find it funny, don't get me wrong, but it still sucks to see your other faves get verbally abused, especially in the scenes that aren't played for laughs.

(Also, the Spanish voice actor choosing to improvise a slur is obviously not okay. Naturally, that wasn't accounted for when initially planning the season, so it shouldn't factor into the elimination order, but it's still true. I think we should allow everyone involved some lenience, because they're really young to have so much pressure, responsibility, and hostility thrown in their faces. However, it's also not like being a young indie artist on the internet gives you a full pardon to act cruelly towards minorities. In my opinion, either side stoking the flames with hotheaded and/or rash behavior right now seems like it will go down poorly for everyone involved. We should be aiming for a sincere apology and a tentative, yet calm reception for now.)

Well, those are my thoughts this week! After perfectly predicting Connor, I'm hoping this post-merge, post-return time period will be the beginning of a hot streak. But, we'll have to see what happens in the upcoming episode. For all I know, Yul could have immunity or something. That's the danger of the merge, I guess. Bye for now!

The atoz classes Review — “Transforming Math Anxiety into Achievement: Our Online Classroom Success Stories”

For many children, math is more than just a challenging subject — it’s a source of stress and anxiety. The fear of numbers, the pressure to keep up with peers, and the frustration of not understanding can make math seem like an impossible mountain to climb. At The AtoZ Classes, we’ve seen these struggles firsthand, but we’ve also witnessed something truly beautiful: the moment when a student’s fear turns into understanding, and anxiety turns into achievement. I’d like to share the stories of a few students whose lives have been touched by our approach.

Riya’s Story: Finding Her Voice Through Math

Riya, a 6th grader from Delhi, had always been a quiet, thoughtful child. But when it came to math, her quietness turned into withdrawal. She’d sit at the back of the class, hoping she wouldn’t be called on, and her once-bright eyes would dim with every math lesson. Her parents, concerned and heartbroken, reached out to us at The AtoZ Classes, hoping we could help their daughter rediscover her love for learning.

Aarav’s Journey: Rebuilding Confidence, One Step at a Time

Aarav, a 10th grader from Bengaluru, was a student with big dreams. He wanted to pursue engineering, but math felt like a giant roadblock standing in his way. Despite his best efforts, the complex equations and new concepts left him feeling defeated. Aarav’s parents knew he was capable, but they also knew he needed more than just tutoring; he needed someone who believed in him.

When Aarav joined The AtoZ Classes, I knew that rebuilding his confidence was just as important as teaching him the material. We started with the basics, ensuring that he had a strong foundation to build on. But we also took the time to listen to his frustrations and fears. I remember many late-night sessions where we’d talk through problems, not just math problems, but the doubts and worries that were holding him back. Slowly, Aarav began to see math not as an obstacle, but as a challenge he could overcome. His grades improved, but more importantly, he started to believe in himself again. When Aarav aced his final exams, the smile on his face said it all — he knew he was back on track to achieving his dreams.

Ananya’s Transformation: Learning to Love Math

Ananya, a sweet 3rd grader from Mumbai, was struggling to keep up with her math lessons at school. The fast pace and the pressure to keep up left her feeling lost and frustrated. Her parents, worried that she might fall behind, reached out to The AtoZ Classes, hoping that a different approach might help.

From the moment I met Ananya, I knew she needed patience, encouragement, and a lot of positive reinforcement. We took our time, revisiting lessons as often as she needed, using fun, interactive methods to keep her engaged. I’ll never forget the day Ananya solved her first problem all by herself — she looked up at me with wide eyes, a mix of surprise and pride, and whispered, “I did it!” That moment was the turning point. From then on, Ananya approached math with a newfound curiosity and eagerness. Her parents couldn’t believe the transformation — they saw their little girl go from dreading math to eagerly looking forward to her lessons. Today, Ananya is excelling in math, and the joy on her face every time she solves a problem is a reminder of why we do what we do.

The Heart of The AtoZ Classes

These stories of Riya, Aarav, and Ananya are just a few examples of the countless students who’ve found not just success, but joy in learning math through The AtoZ Classes. What sets us apart is our belief that every child can succeed in math, given the right support and encouragement. We don’t just teach math; we build confidence, nurture curiosity, and celebrate every step of progress, no matter how small.

At The AtoZ Classes, we’re more than just educators — we’re mentors, cheerleaders, and sometimes, a shoulder to lean on. We know that math can be challenging, but we also know that with patience, understanding, and a personalized approach, every student can overcome those challenges. Watching our students transform from anxious learners to confident achievers is the most rewarding part of our journey.

If your child is struggling with math or needs a little extra support, we’re here to help. At The AtoZ Classes, we’re committed to turning math anxiety into achievement, one student at a time more info visit our website theatozclasses.com

[traegics]

His feet slowly moved his frame towards her, hand reaching out to place gently against her shoulder to ensure that she was in fact real before pulling her into a hug, digits lacing through the dark locks that mirrored her mothers. "It's me, darling," Kol assured her, pulling back and brushing the dark locks from her features, gaze glancing her over for any sign of injury. "Hey, it's okay, you're here, you're home. Nobody can hurt you here. Your mother and I are working on getting some protection barriers up. You're safe."

"Is it you?" she quietly asked, wanting to run into the other's arms but finding herself too scared of the questions on where she had been and what had happened to actually push herself forward. "I almost forgot but I didn't... I was a Mikaelson, I promise, I fought as hard as I could"

🍇🎶

For the emoji snippet ask!

Snips under the cut!! Finally I've gotten to all my snippet asks :D

ngl, it was very hard to find a happy scene.....

these are both from twtr!

🎶 share a happy moment. ANY happy moment. You must have ONE.

His door opens, and he jumps. “A muddragon can’t sneak up on you, but I can?” Red chuckles. “I’m stealthier than I thought.” Shaking it off, he smiles. She approaches, reaching out to fix his collar for him. “You really should get a mirror. I can’t have you showing up to the ball like this.” He shakes his head, but still says nothing. Once she’s satisfied with his collar, he realizes she is not yet ready herself. Her dress is a light blue, with long sleeves and high neckline. The skirt is too poofy for his taste—as with all ballgowns—but he knows it is what is expected, and required, of her. She would rather be wearing the armor he is almost finished with, though. Every time she comes to his room, he spots her eyeing the closet where he keeps it. Though her dress is perfect, her hair is still long and down. All the highest noble women have their hair in braids for an event this fancy. Four braids on each side, tight to the scalp and leading to a braided bun in the back would be expected of her. He smirks and reaches out to her hair, and she nods. “Yes, I wanted you to do my hair. My mother wants me to wear it her way. I want it your way.”

🍇 share a snippet with food

Avery awakens in a cottage to the smell of a delicious broth. When he rises from the cot, he finds a tray on the nightstand beside him, and Riya Maya sitting in a chair nearby. “Where is she?” “Eat, you idiot.” He obeys, taking the tray from the nightstand into his lap and savoring the warmth of the soup as he swallows. Once he’s sucked down half of it, he sets the bowl down and asks again, “Where is she?” “One of our healers is tending to her. She needs to be as strong as possible for [REDACTED],” Riya Maya says. “And so do you.” Avery frowns, returning to his broth in silence.

Two in One Post

For my Filipino Friend's Pic of Spot and Riya.

Shadow R ��🗡️: Your outfits look nice, Spot and Riya.

Tory 😺🩰: I know you both normally wear them besides the ones I gave you. But it would be nice since my brother and I wear ours together.

And for my A-Pal's On This Day Post.

I remember seeing Brian and Stewie in the Disney Universe. Plus the Hand Drawn styles of Disney never let me down. Until 2012 when Disney had to focus on so many of their CGI Films. Plus the ending could've been better if Mort wasn't Included and Seth MacFarlane didn't have to keep that false rumor about Walt Disney hating Jews. Because you know that isn't true. But I do love Brian and Stewie episodes in Family Guy. Especially the Road to Series.

[bryan360]

🐰👊💥May: I’m still very proud for Riya’s winning streak from checking on a previous second half. No offense for her brother though….😅🫤 *Ahem* Anyways, it was a good thing to have one race left before coming home. It’s been fun to know for your racing tournament; especially where our A-Pal made an art trade about not too long for this month. 😉

🐰🖌️Maxwell: If only someday that my bud Spot will finally get his spotlight soon….Just a wishful thinking. 🙄
