If they ever met, how would Bullet, Windthrow, and Gale feel about each other?

i swear i've answered this before but after looking thru my tags for 2 whole minutes and being unable to find it, i've decided it'd probably be best to briefly recap it all, so:

gale has that "would rather die a hero than live to see himself become the villain" mindset and values justice above all else so he kind of hates bullet to the core. bullet meanwhile is pretty bitter toward gale because gale doesn't Get it. like, gale is basically a god in terms of strength and has never had to make a choice as difficult as bullet. so bullet feels like he has NO grounds to judge him for his choices. they clash at every opportunity pretty much.

meanwhile windthrow initially hates Everybody (including prime sonic) because he has that dog instinct of Something Is Very Very Wrong Here irt looking at alternate reality versions of himself. but he gets over it eventually. gale admires windthrow's earthly vibe and overall probably views him the most positively out of all the sonics. cuz prime sonic and bullet are weirded out to see a more feral version of themselves, and prime sonic especially is uncomfortably reminded of that one time in 2008 when he looked like that too.

i’m not sure how you feel about toxic arteta hcs or whatever but…

you know how arteta is doing his little rescue thing with players? taking almost-failed worship kid martin and making him captain? bring in chelsea-rejects jorgi and kai and turning them into integral midfield players? that’s all well and good on the pitch, but off the pitch? what if he revels in the knowledge that he’s taken these players and “resurrected” them? what if he gets off on the fact that he’s taken their tattered careers in his hands and seen them back to near perfection. what if they worship him and devote themselves to him because of that?

and what happens when one of those rescue players (ramsdale) finds themselves being rejected by the one who saved them and try to do anything and give themselves entirely to gain mikel’s favour again?

maybe bot 100% dark arteta but most certainly grey in the power he wields over the players he’s “rescued” because he’s established himself as some powerful and kind figure to them that they should be grateful to. because not everybody would look at them in their lowest moments and try to uplift them, but arteta did so they should thank him for that, right?

anyways that’s enough, no point cluttering your inbox <33

oh I am SOOOOOOOOOOO unqualified for this kinda arteta discourse ngl! nudging @purefractals and @longeyelashedtragedy cuz they deffo will find your toxic!arteta HCs interesting.

I also find this interesting, so allow me to add my minuscule take about his blatant favouritism LMAO. granit is the prime example, but that one is deffo "pure"; his first project. he succeeded. no hate on Eddie but when he kept being a starter without cooking anything???? naur.

the one with Aaron tho fucking chefs kiss anon. I will never forget his motherfucking "perhaps we (Arsenal football club) can be the kinda club that sub gk during a match" bs (not the exact sentence he spouted, but close I think lol). cuz wtf was that bruv. have you done what you cheekily said to the media???????? the answer is no.

listen I might be confusing HCs as in like fics-wise or HCs as in serious real life take lol............................... I have answered another anon before that eventho I ship xhakarteta, I really don't have the drive in me to write more about them. in my writing/shipping brain, they are perfect - I don't want my writing/my take tainting what I think of them ya feel me!

the Aaron situation. im still in denial ngl, but I do see the difference Raya does to the team's performance. kudos to him for staying chill af irl tbf.

sorry to disappoint but plsss both my Tumblr inbox and ao3 inbox are currently depressing right now so send me nude---I mean send me anything!

This whole realm you're pretty much nuts and you want to keep everybody in poverty and subjugate everybody and say it works whether it does or not and we know where it's coming from it says brother and he did a good job on you and you fell for it quite easily it's a lot worse than we thought it would be and you're not reasonable people at all we have to watch you all the time and you're a nutcase you people here are nuts okay she's not sweeping for her health or his I mean you're stupid she wants to make dust I mean it's asinine s*** it says you're an old crap from the streets in China or Thailand she's kind of crying a little cuz she gets it and that's why it's stupid and it's going to get you guys hurt and John reborn that's why the discussing turning on you cuz they have to cuz your boneheads and it is coming up pretty quick they're heading out to another emergency that's what they say and I send announces it and they just sit there sarcastic assholes cuz I can't figure it out and he actually plays his people from here with no gear and they do find it to be odd and he knows why and he says why and they don't do anything right so we have to intervene today is a huge day they're in a lot of trouble and the idiot stay behind and he's slow and weak unless I hates him our son hates him

-we're also starting up several other programs they all involve me but when caught my eye in particular and it was the stealth kit and it's supposed to be coveted technology it's actually everywhere and everybody knows it but the max said we need the motivation and push they will come from the max because of what they're saying and Hera got from him that he wants her to get it going and for real and said it's because it's going to be very huge and the guys use f***** up and said okay we get that and they started helping said this is a major major movement and we need people eliminated they just don't want to do anything but choke off society this gets both sides of that Aspen coin asinine coin and we're going to go for it so I'm running up some documents that we're going to send to people who don't like it saying it's past the year you never notified anybody it's not the paint and it is certain technology that's available to people because of your videos that you put on online and you are going to be arrested for that it was before it was allowed then things like that then we'll have the military right there with the letter for them to read as we arrest them so you people can go ahead and say you can't and he's in trouble but you'll be arrested

-Tommy f was astonished and he said I can do that gig too they said of course you can and Max are the prime target and all these other s*** heads can do it if they had to have for brain but they're going to be the ones trying to do stuff and he got mad and said you people are too stupid for this some of them said no but we would be going after each other but that's the way it goes and the pseudo empire said we can go after Max cuz they're the ones who said to do it so teams are lining up and getting ready and foreigners they said you put it on a video and we're enticing us it's going on now

What is YOUR personal favorite thing you've done/change you've made with Ides of Cybertron?

!!! OOOH THIS IS A TOUGHY

Not in a "I dunno lol" kind of way but in a "I HAVE A LOT OF FAVES" kind of way!

So first of all; Earth!

Now, I don't hate human characters in TF or hate it when the silly robots go to Earth. In fact, I find myself loving most of the human characters in Transformers, and the different takes on how they'd fit into Earth's culture! I also think it's annoying whenever people complain about there being humans in TF media like... cmon, the humans are there to better explain the world building for one. The humans are meant to be the characters we project onto and ask the questioms for us. "What's Vector Prime?" "What are the Decepticons doing on Earth?" "Why is X like X?" They're meant to add exposition cuz every continuity is different... also children. Kiddies who are just getting into Transformers will know NOTHING about the lore.

But anyway! In the early drafts of IoC, they end up on Earth because I really wanted something similar to the aesthetic of Hearts of Steel - showcasing different eras of technology! But then I realized... I had no reason for them... to go onto Earth... and it was causing me more stress than necessary, so I scrapped it! Which... allowed me to focus more on the world building and aesthetics of Cybertron itself, incorporating aesthetics I'd want to see in a Transformers continuity and Cybertronian world building based on prior concepts! I shifted my history hyperfixation away from the history of vehicles/machinery in warfare and towards ancient politics and religion!

And that, my friends, is how scrapping the Earth plotline lead to the story running more smoothly (imo), but also heavy world building that yall barely even gotten a TASTE of yet.

Second favorite thing I've changed; I made Swinlock canon. Hasbro wont do it so I did, because I'm not a coward.

Third!!! Bringing back Sunstorm!

Sunstorm is a fascinating character, in my opinion, but he isn't really... used anymore. I've heard he has a role in IDW2, but I'm not caught up with the comics yet.

The weird thing about Sunstorm is that almost everybody knows what his gig is (being radioactive and a religious fanatic in... One continuity.) But nobody knows where that came from.

No seriously, look me in the eyes and tell me how many people knos that Religious Sunstorm came from Dreamwave, not IDW1. In IDW1 he's nothing more than a background character who (SPOILERS!) kicks the bucket. And is never mentioned again.

The fandom has done my boy dirty, by not knowing which continuity his religious fanaticism came from, so I'm making him a super important character in my continuity (a main antagonist in the later chapters).

I've made him empathetic yet unnerving, I feel. He uses religion as an unhealthy coping mechanism, which causes him to fall into a cultish crowd.

Top 50 Best Transformers Fanfiction Stories 2020

Best Transformers Fanfiction Updates That You Must Read

Since Childhood, I am watching transformers and looking forward to becoming a transformer one day, Grew up by Reading Transformers Fanfiction Stories and was always amazed by the fictions that used to pop out from such inspiring Fanfiction Lovers. Also liking the Transformer Fanfiction Crossover a lot.

If I Start Giving my Opinions about Transformers Fanfiction Lemon and Transformers Crossover fanfiction, I don't think so that I won't end the topic of Transformers Fanfiction Stories even in 24 hours. Lukas Schimik Agreed ! Don't know why everybody hates it, I think it's still my number 1 TF movie! Optimus new look, Lockdown & Galvatron, KsI (bots), Dinobots, cast ( HATED this Sam & Mikeala ) and the TF/human conflict. Still love it. Miguel GC Gamer Age of Extinction is the only film that entertains that I don't skip any parts of the movie and I like all the characters in this film and the transformers designs are great, dino bots are Awsome. Vincent H well....bad taste is also bad taste at the end of the day. I know you younger kids think that everyone is supposed to have an opinion and everything is subjective blah blah blah but if you're a cinephile than the Transformers are objectively bad films. They are cynical cash grabs made to make money in China. Bay and the producers have said as much. I mean you can like whatever you want. If you wanna listen to Teletubbies soundtrack all day that's your right....but that does mean you have shitty taste. It's okay. Not everyone has good taste. urtpro 2 I'm not hating I'm genuinely curious. I certainly like it more than Last Knight but barely lol. I'm curious the reasons why AOE fans consider it one of the better Transformers movies. I will say it was nice to switch up the protagonist and all that since Sam Witwicky had worn out his welcome by the third film. And the actress who played Wahlberg's daughter was smoking hot, so that was a plus too. Oliver Parker I thought the premise of the world hating and hunting the Transformers(regardless of Faction), cuz of what happened in Chicago(in DOTM), was kool, MW was a refreshing Main Hero over Shia tbh, and Lockdown was Badass! Honestly kinda just laughed off the whole Romeo and Juliette law thing as being just a bad movie joke! I’m mean honestly I know there’s no such law, and as such it didn’t really bother me! Just rather thought it was somewhat silly! Yann Labeille Well Lockdown was a pretty good villain for once in the movies. However Galvatron went nowhere after this. Anthony That isn't true. I saw Bumblebee yesterday and I find it Like watching E.T., the movie is just on Charlie, not really much on Bee. The only g1 part is the first 5 minutes of the movie. Too much 80s references. Sometimes is even boring for me. It Was a cute movie but absolutely not my favourite. I still prefere the first one. Aron T-900 I'd rather get vibes from ET and Iron Giant instead of witnessing stupid humor, unnecessary hot shots, dogs humping each other, unrealistic explosions, parents acting like they belong in a cartoon, patriotism and confusing slo-mo action sequences. Cam Rich I preferred the first and third ones as they have so much more action in them making the films actually entertaining, when most of bumblebee is almost like a compilation of ‘cute’ little clips of bumblebee and that annoying girl taking up almost the entirety of the movie. Max Ramirez Personally prefer the 2007 movie because it's just overall more entertaining to me. Also, you can pretty much tell Bumblebee was a movie that was directed towards kids so 2007 wins for me So Sit back and enjoy reading my favorite transformers fanfiction lemon and Transformers fanfiction Crossovers Collection. That I have collected for you guys. I Hope You Guys liked our collection of the best transformers fanfiction stories and updates that we have presented above for all fanfiction lovers out here. Transformers Fanfiction Crossover Stories 2020(Updated) Transformers is America based  Franchise that was first seen in the 1980s globally. So the first five transformers Films was directed by Michael Bay. I really believe that this was the boost up for the Transformers Fanfiction Crossover stories that I really liked about among the whole and sole of the transformers fanfiction stories including the lemon version of the franchise. Minaya Rojas Tony: We have a Hulk! Optimus: We have a Grimlock! Porg King VII Bee is here what would Optimus want with that what would he take her hostage IT SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS BEEN BRAIN WASHED BY DESEPTAGONS Siidimus Prime! Except they transform their aliens they have Real blasters Different Voices blood Etc. arfhanisbest The interesting thing is that transformers would actually make for good marvel villains. dave tasca The original transformers comics were made by marvel and marvel had to do with the original transformers tv show so they really should try to get the rights back jovinprime Poop soc This would've been more awesome if gi joe, rom the spaceknight, M.A.S.K., micronauts and the other properties interfere with the whole marvel universe and the transformers both. That would be, not only a big, giant, massive crossover event, but a... gigantic, space-involving, multiversal collusion as well Darkknight329 yes megatron hack the armor with Soundwave and turn it off then they all just step on them but they will throw hulk to cybertron and leave him to the toxic oxygen Dr. Nobody Celz On they are robots what is a snap gonna do I know buckys arm was turned to dust but still they have weapons that can make thanos cheese agnas yes because they’re alive.

Bee is here Tony: We have thanos Optimus: We have your mom Tony:0_0 ok you win now give me my mom Hoping that you guys liked our collection of the topmost fanfics about the transformers fanfiction crossover flavors that we have published above this. 

Transformers Fanfiction Lemon Version 2020 Funny Part of the Franchise is that the transformer's movies, on one hand, was loved by the fans and on the other hand there were critics about the direction "Worst Director of all Time". Still, there are some dirty minded people who are always in search of the Transformers Fanfiction Lemon and some people also call it Transformers lemon Fanfiction. Night light I really want to be apart of one of micheal bays movie of transformers Flo Parsons see this is why I love transformers, because the actors ACTUALLY seem like they are having fun, and they are such fun films to watch obert Delgad Even though the movie sequels are not that great, but you have to give Michael Bay a lot of Credit for what he does. fake lol Bay is a genius I mean, I wouldn't be able to figure out the scale of you know the explosions Like the layout nig*a LOL, lol or as you typed if, Lol: an acronym for laugh(ing) out loud or lots of laughs, some say it is Lots of love, is a popular element of Internet slang. It was first used almost exclusively on Usenet, but has since become widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication and even face-to-face communication. Alex Bruh Bumblebee knows how to pick up ladies more than Sam 😂 lala I remember being a kid and having the biggest crush for Megan. Good lord she was so hot Michael ceasar Back than I thought Sam was looking at her belly and so was I saying "Hot belly I guess." hotman 280 Michael Bay while directing: Yeah Megan arch your back, perfect perfect. Get a good shot of her sweat glistening tanned bronze body. Yeah just like that. chief ada Yeah right. That engine is a big block. Fuel injected side draft 8 barrel carburetors. Hell even the headers are up and over side mount. And the damn engine is worth more then the car. As he only paid $4500.00 That damn engine alone cost $20,000.00! Leave the critics aside all I want to know is: How did you people find our transformers fanfiction lemon version? comment down below if you guys liked this collection on some of the best lemon flavors of transformers fanfiction stories. Transformers fanfiction Bumblebee Stories Updated The best part of the Transformers franchise is that bumblebee is the only character that got most of the positive reviews. This can be a reason that people Love Transformers Fanfiction Bumblebee Version a lot. No worries because we have provided some of the best Bumblebee fanfiction stories that you will enjoy reading. Master Yoda "Wasp", "Stinger" or "Hornet" would be appropriate Decepticon sounding names as "Bumble Bee" sounds too friendly. ron 1j2j barricade is a ford mustang and bee is a Chevrolet camero trust me they will not be friends pro gmer yes i do lol they killed ironhide and ratchet and jazz and sideswipe is already missing dnt know if hes alive but hes my favorite hari bhaskar I'm Bumblebee was a Decepticon he'd be dead like the other Decepticons, because boi they sure kill Decepticons like it's nothing. mighty raju Blackout had skills. Shockwave had skills. The Fallen had skills. Yet they all died like they're nothing. Why? Cause they're Decepticons lol. It's simple rlly, they kill off Decepticons like they're nothing that's just how it is lol. habob What about “what if sentinel prime didn’t betray the autobots” I think age of extinction and beyond wouldn’t have happened since sentinel basically destroyed N.E.S.T. And also Rachet and Ironhide wouldn’t have died so the Autobots would have had a great advantage, and then Sam would still be with the autobots since he disappears after DOTMBasically, I’m saying that the Transformers franchise would have dramatically changed if Sentinel didn’t betray the Autobots. ShyGuy 15 In the movies, technically Megatron is an anti-hero. The first movie makes an acception bc he was using the allspark for pure evil, also in Aoe no reason told us what he was trying to accomplish other than detonating the seed. So 2, 3, and 5, he has reasons to his doing Rotf: using the pyramid to kill the sun and repopulate cybertron. Dotm: rebuild cybertron. TLK: kill unicron using cybertron. This is all in my own mind, not sure if anyone else agrees with me Simon Tyson I forget what it was called, but there was a comic book series where Megatron was an Autobot. It basically swapped all the characters so that Optimus, Bumblebee, Iron Hide, etc. were bad guys. Megatron, Starscream, etc. were good guys Dank Starscream If Bayformer Megatron's history is similar to the IDW comics Megatron's history...then that would mean the Autobot government was not all that good, and would be directly responsible for why Megatron turned out the way he did. Because he was a slave to their functionalist system of control, and he would have remained a slave worker miner if he didn't rise up from the lifestyle forced on him and formed the Decepticon faction... Though it seems to me that if this were the case, Bayformers Megatron would still have become a gladiator before forming the Decepticons...and then eventually he found his way into more of the politics of Cybertron after one day meeting with Optimus Prime (Orion Pax at the time) and then they became brothers/friends. In that sense...it would be similar to how the history of the two were from the show TF Prime. They could still keep the part with the whole Optimus being a knight too, somehow... So in short...Megatron really did not start out as a bad guy at all, it was the way in which he reacted to everything that made him turn out a 'bad guy'. She-Venom What if Megatron is a good guy in the movies? Simple answer is right here becuse Optimus accepted become a Prime if he didnt accept Optimus and Megatron wouldnt fight each other and best brothers it was Optimus fault he started the war i think Megatron is a good guy Hoping that you guys liked our collection of the topmost fanfics about the transformers fanfiction crossover flavors that we have published above this. People Love Bumblebee! i love him/her because bumblebee is cool, let me know why do you love Bumblebee and more importantly why do you guys love Transformers fanfiction on Bumblebee. Transformers Fanfiction OC Version  Earning a total amount of $4.3 Billion, transformers became the 13th highest-grossing film series in the world. The Transformers Fanfiction Fans Should be happy to know that the Transformers franchise grossed a total of $1 Billion each from two superhit blockbuster movies. Comment Down the names of those movies if you know them. Jack R I think the first one was more epic just cause the fight scenes were cool and it was the first time we saw something like that. But the writing and characters were absolutely horrific. Bumblebee had much better writing and characters especially the character relationship between Bumblebee and the girl which is much better than the relationship between Sam and bumblebee. Dotm Shockwave Yeah I dont know how he put tlk over revenge and extinction. The last knight is incredibly boring and the only remaining aspect left to enjoy (the action) is incredibly dull in it compared to all the other films. There are no good fight scenes. Which is likely why it bombed so hard Ur mom Gai Ok imo the last knight is my fave AND I ONLY like TF5 is cuz bumblebee new form looks good as hell and Optimus prime vs bumblebee AND there is explosions. EVERYWHERE Boss  I definitely didn't think it was my favorite. It depends on what you are looking for in a movie. If you like character relationships and a girl and her problems trying to find her way, then you'll like it. If you like transformers actions and interactions, you may not like it as much. Even though the Bay movie didn't focus enough on the transformers, this one did even less The Burden of Bordem I'm a decepticon fan and none of the main decepticons were even given a name in the movie. They were just there to be bad. The Burden of Bordem For me I think this film would have worked much better if they just had Starscream as the main villain, and maybe Barricade hunting bumblebee and give them a more personal relation ship as enemies. But like I said, it end up being a movie about a girl and her relation ship with Bumblebee and enemies getting in their way. bandwon he main character is more fleshed out than the others, Bumblebee I guess is as well, but he can't talk so it isn't by much, the story is standard E.T./Iron Giant, the acting is fine, the directing is probably better than the others, the action is good when it happens, but there is far less than the others, and non of the action reached the peak of the Bay movies. and if it wasn't for the fact there were transformers in it I probably wouldn't have really liked it, but it's enough to get you invested and entertained imo. luke jack You really think anyone's gonna take you serious after you typed "Bumble" Haha the 2007 film and DotM were pretty decent films and satisfying in the end. lisa Speaking as a male, it always annoys me, as a child, that certain plot-line of every terribly written sci-fi (mainly Transformers): "main character is a dick=likable guy" "he has 'relatable' problems, that are only explored in the first 15 minutes of the film" "He start having an abusive/creepy relationship (because that's how well written romance works, right...), with the love interest (they barely explore her name)." "1+ hour action scenes" "world is gonna explode (not really)" "Main Character and Love Interest hook up". People always call me "a pussy", because i want equal rights, and then they go make a video about "how everything is now pandering to women, and everything is Woke"... By your perfect logic... most movies are "pandering to males, and straight people only" imo  not like super duper mad, but kinda upset. It was actually kinda funny. But dude, I love what you said about Man of Steel in your DC ranking video. I love that you love Man of Steel. Not many do, and it's seriously awesome!

TeeVee Podcast’s Voltron s8 review

I’ve been waiting eagerly for TeeVee’s review of s8. If you recall, their s7 review was what gave us the man getting choked up about Shiro’s relationship. 

The link to the podcast is here but if you’d prefer a sort of transcript, here are some of the highlights for me. I didn’t always catch who was speaking but I wrote down initials where I could. S=Shanon, A=Antony, M=Moises, C=Chip D=Dan. The panel is divided on their feelings on the season. 2 of them seem to have hated it, one liked it, one thought it was fine, and one feels mixed about it. Anyway here we go, some great quotes ahead. 

Under the readmore cuz it’s long. 

S: "After 7 seasons of a show that was going to be one of the animated series of the decade, they not only did not stick the landing, they fell on their butts, rolled off the mat, off the lines, into the judge's table and their leotard popped open"

"A lot of the plot was callbacks to things from seasons ago that we really probably didn't need to see again." "I wasn't entirely sure that they weren't gaslighting me."

Man Shannon is calling out some great points. She's calling out the dropped druid plot thread, and wondering what the point was of showing Lotor's past when he's dead, and nothing can change in his present and his redemption can't really happen.

A: "endings are hard. I was disappointed with this season [...] it was let down by poor plotting and that final battle made me throw my hands up in despair most of the time. But I have enormous sympathy for the EPs. Maintaining a longform episodic story is hard. And to pull off an ending that satisfies even MOST of the audience is harder yet. and let's not forget they were always upfront that vt always had 'editorial interference' from up top. Toys, the fact that it's aimed at children, corp resistance to some of the more modern social issues that they've tried to tackle. THAT SAID, we don't know what happened on this production, who had the final say, what they argued over. and I say this cuz a lot of the fandom drama over it assumes a LOT over how media and entertainment like this is made that simple ARE. NOT. TRUE. Some of the stuff I've read has been ABSURDLY offbase, like that there were different writers rather than just 1 the whole way through which ignores how TV is made. And if you think these writers just go off and write a script without talking to anyone first and then they come back with something that must be filmed without any changes, THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS. [..]we don't know who made these decisions. The studio isn't always the bad guy. Sometimes they rescue things that would otherwise have been a horrible mess. And unless you were IN THE ROOM, you don't know, and neither do any of us. So let's all bear that in mind. [...]You can't lay the blame OR credit on any one person. For any of this." 

They're laughing & making so much fun of the final 3 episodes and how baffling they were. 

"Don't even get me started on Voltron merging with Atlas [and the crew disappearing] that was a bad, bad idea." 

"But that was the ONE time Shiro was back with the team!"

a couple dudes are relatively ok with the Allura death because we've never seen a WOC heroically sacrifice herself for the universe and usually it's the Shiro hero character D: They also point out that technically she wasn't fridged so.. yay?

Antony and Shannon vehemently disagree. 

A: "My problem with that ending was more just that it was... not. good." he makes a comparison to RotJ where Vader still dies and it's his SON, who lives, who 'redeems' him. "This was none of those things. It felt like a terrible lesson. You can be so evil that you kill literally billions of people for 10k yrs but if you say sorry just before you're about to be executed it's alright, dw about it, we'll put the universe back to rights. NO, that's a terrible lesson!!"

S:"They had the LIONS. That's my problem. Throughout this series we've had stakes going up but there has always been a trading of ideas, what can we do, what can we figure out, up to the point where they wind up sacrificing the castle, but they go through steps before that 'is there anything else we can do’. And here, there's not even... she didn't even get to say goodbye to Coran! This is the one character, WOC, and she has sacrificed throughout this entire series. She lost her planet. She lost the last connection she had to her father in the AI. She kept LOSING things over and over to the point where she sacrifices her crown to help Shiro. and the thanks she gets is that she has to turn around and say nope I've got to away and fix all of this and apparently never see you all again. It really, REALLY REALLY bothered me. All of my friends who have CHILDREN who watch this show, universally the kids were upset and angry and tearful and HATED that outcome. This did not feel like a triumph. Having to lose Allura like that robbed any kind of triumph in the success of saving all the universes. And I think that's one of the reasons that this last part of the season sits so poorly with me. I feel like it should have ended in a triumphant way. even if it meant losing a couple of the team members or the lions. Of course that takes away the toy aspect which is why that's not an option. We already had several tragedy arcs in this series. Zarkon, Honerva, and Lotor had tragedy arcs. Why does Allura have to have one too? We've had enough." 

Antony & Shanon KILLIN IT on this podcast y'all.

C: "This series relies so much on 'oh wait, there's a new upgrade', 'oh wait, there's this new thing'" A: "Well that was the entire final battle." C: "So there's this handwavy Allura has to sacrifice herself. The heavy lifting wasn't done to make this an earned moment."

S: "I do think, whether it was at the direction of DW or WEP (Vld IP), without those little epilogue cards, there is the potential opening that Allura might be able to return.[..]It was open to interpretation."

One guy likes the Shiro ending for the surprising progress aspect, even though he's not thrilled about how it was put together. also he isn't convinced the epilogue wasn't planned. He likes a lot of s8 but all the stuff he likes is tied to stuff that he really didn't like.

S:"The shiro card is the other reason that I think those things were shoved in. For me, that turns Shiro's entire character into a token when he wasn't before. When they introduced his sexuality, it was done BEAUTIFULLY. There was this conversation with his significant other a mature relationship that ran into its problems and therefore couldn't happen anymore. Adam could've been Adele, and nothing would have changed about that conversation. It was not the defining characteristic of Shiro. It was just something else about him."

S: "And then s8 happens and Shiro is divided from everybody on the team. There are so few interactions of any kind that aren't just barking orders. or making plans. Keith is the prime example. Their friendship had been a backbone of this series and suddenly they can't even stand more than feet 5ft from each other. 

A: “It’s barely evident, yeah.”

M:”And the same with the rest of the main cast. And if they had set that up at the end of s7, that he’s going to go into the background a bit, it wouldn’t have felt as weird.

S: “And they didn’t! S7 was miraculous in the fact that even though he’s no longer in a lion, he’s still got a vital part to play in the series. And s8 erased that. It pretty much neutered him! And the kind of message is once you've revealed this character to be gay, we've gotta keep him out of the way. And if they had not put those end cards in, again the fact that he's a gay man is just the fact that he's a gay man and it's not any bigger or smaller aspect of his character, but they did not EARN him marrying random bridge crew member #3."

A: "and RETIRING! A man who LEFT adam because he felt he had to go and fight."

A: "He left the guy he loved before because of his devotion to"

S:"To fighting to making things right"

A:”To being a soldier and doing the right thing.”

C:”Isn’t the whole point then that he achieves that?”

M:”The fighting’s over and he can leave that behind and he can actually be happy.”

S: “He wouldn’t’ve. I don’t see it.”

M: “I violently disagree.”

C: “I think it was a nice endcap for his character."

Moises also likes this because it’s not a BYG scenario and he gets retired. Shannon is extremely exasperated by these takes. 

S:”For me, it’s like Tangled. You go through Rapunzel and Flynn, going through their adventures, getting closer, getting to know each other, they save each other, things like that. And then she’s reunited with her parents and then we get and endcap that says ‘for political reasons her parents decided they needed to marry her off to the prince in the next county, sorry’. That would’ve had people RIOTING. Thats not how you do a story with characters that people care about. And to shove shiro off onto this random character that we--his name is never spoken!”

A:”No he had like 3 lines in the entire season.”

S:”He had 3 line sin the season, you don’t know his name unless you watched the subtitles, and in the audio narration for the visually impaired, they called him Adam in the endcap. They called him Adam! They fixed that now. It feels like a hugely clumsy attempt to grab the woke points for a character that didn’t need them.”

Moises then talks a little about Shiro and Keith and how he and Shannon both thought there was something there, and still do, but they can’t know what happened behind the scenes and to theorize on the intent of that relationship is “conspiracy theory land” and trying to decide what the writers were prevented from doing is like “reading tea leaves and chicken bones”. He references people extracting things from his own writing. 

M: “As much as I wanted to see that relationship flower and flourish, the fact that it didn’t, look, it’s one of a million times that’s happened for me, with fiction, where things didnt turn out the way I wanted to see them.”

S:”I’m talking about 2 different things, as far as Shiro’s character, vs shipping  issues. I feel Shiro’s character was done a disservice that if they were going to end him in a relationship with another man, they didn’t earn it by throwing that little endcap on.”

M:”Yeah, they could have brought back one less robeast or something.”

S:”The other thing is, I think there is enough out there as far as interviews with JDS and LM to show that at the very least I think they meant to leave it openended. Again  if you take out that endcap, the last shot includes a shot of just Shiro and Keith, together, same screen, looking up as the lions go away, without saying anything further. I know I pie in the sky hoped that they were gonna kiss this season when we did our s7 recap and yes that was the shipper in me talking. I truly did not expect that they would be able to go that far. What I did not expect was for them to tear it down. And I feel like that’s what they did. Between the complete absence of interactions in s8, and then throwing that epilogue in there.”

Dan doesn’t understand how that could be because he sees no reason for them to do that. Shannon patiently explains about DW’s history with LGBT characters but Dan insists that the creators told the story the way they wanted to and he’s fine with Shiro getting a marriage even if it’s a character they don’t know. 

Overall the panelists love the show still, and in most cases prefer to consider it in the realm of s1-6 with a weak final double season (7&8) or that the show ends after s7. They would all love to know how long the NDAs last, a making of perhaps, to know what the heck happened and what changed along the way. Big mood my dudes. Big mood.

Cults DICK GOT

[rarestereocats]

tonight’s rundown!

Tenin yells at our alley boys to surrender and they reluctantly do.  so we turn them into the monastery.  we talk of information for their freedom which Xaren is upset about it until Industria tells him we’re bluffing with the Wink of Justice that conveys about two paragraphs of information with a single bat of her lashes.

when we turn them in,  we all part ways.  Xaren heads back to the monastery to do his chores like a good,  young lad while Samuel heads home.  Rikius stays behind in the Thaddeus office to discuss things and not murder someone this time,  and the rest of us head on home to excitement.

before i head into the manor,  i spot the fluffy stray cat again!  i approach,  speaking catfolk to the tiny friend and manage to gain his trust.  i pet him and he purrs.  -hacker voice-  i’m in...  i pick up the cat and head inside where Cupcake begins barking at my feet.  i give her a Talk and she seems to understand and is friendly with the cat we decide to name Muffin.  i get Muffin his first royal meal of tuna and then head to bed with my new friend.

after breakfast as a family,  we head out in the morning and meet up with the rest of the party and get our next mission.  we’re pulled into the office to discuss not only the mission,  but Rikius joining our squad.  he then asks for our opinion on the Chief Aban situation.  execute him or?  we’re torn.  some of us want him dead,  but some value his skills and would like to see them utilized with Proper Adult Supervision.  New Thaddeus thanks us for our input.  then he pulls up a  T H I C C  tome and gives us the mission.

the mission is simple.  literally the simplest fucking mission we’ve gotten.  return this bomb ass tome to the guardian of the Euvia forest.  nothing can go wrong,  right??  haha,  kids,  just you wait.  some parties are taken down by doors,  others are destroyed by powerful books.  while Industria and Elathera begin packing for our trip,  me,  Xaren,  and Samuel take Muffin and Cupcake to my family’s farm so they can be watched while we’re away.

my sisters are beyond fucking excited to look over them while they’re away,  but also sad that they’ll have to give them back eventually.  i tell them about our new manor and how they’re welcome there any time and they’re happy.  my dad asks if we’re staying for dinner,  but i tell him we can’t cuz mission time.  he understands.  we bid farewell and head back to the manor.

Rikius has taken a liking to our manor cuz as we step back in,  his ass is lounging on our couch,  talking about how nice of a couch it is.  yeah,  i bet it is,  buddy.  you’d know.  i tell him not to get any ideas and as he falls silent,  Elathera laughs.  we finish packing,  load up on the carriage,  and set out.

immediately the party is curious of the tome,  but can’t crack it open cuz Xaren fucking Iron Hands McGee won’t let us.  we ride through a storm as Arnor complains in horse language.  we camp for the night.  as Rikius leaves the tent,  me and Industria sneak over to listen if Xaren and Samuel are sleeping or meditating.  they are,  so as Industria casts silence,  i slip in to look for Xaren’s bag and borrow the tome.

i’m caught as my hands dips into the bag and Xaren freaks the fuck out.  he turns around,  fully intending to blast my head into the stratosphere until he realizes it’s me.  he calms down just a smidgen (like from 100 to about 95) and demands i explain,  but none of us can speak because of the silence spell.  frustrated,  he leaves the tent and the camp as i try and tell him that somebody broke into the tent!  not falling for that shit,  he leaves and Tenin goes after him to make sure nothing happens.

the two see bandits lurking and Tenin scares them off with no issue.  have you met Tenin,  guys?  dude’s fucking scary.  as Tenin heads back to camp and Xaren remains to calm down,  the dude’s return.  Xaren gives them the Stare and basically calls Papa Tenin back,  who scares the fuck out of them again.  Xaren tosses the two some coin and off they go!  they return to camp to find Industria basically sipping Capri Sun in her chair waiting for a Party Talk and i’m on the ground sobbing and writing poetry.

H E A T E D  P A R T Y  D I S C U S S I O N.  we wanna crack that fucking tome open like a cold beer,  but Xaren said no.  i yell that the tome is tearing us part and at that point,  exhausted and frustrated,  he tosses it to the ground and tells us it’s whatever.  before we can grab it,  Dad Friend,  Rikius;  swoops in and takes it,  packing it away for the morning and telling us that’s when we’ll talk.

morning comes and we basically come to a conclusion after more bickering that we will gather information on the book before returning it.  we pack into the carriage,  talk some more about the tome that tore families apart and finally i break down and ask Xaren if he wants to hear the poem i wrote for him.  he looks at me,  but says nothing.  so i stretch,  puff my chest and begin reciting it.

"Xaren,  oh Xaren How is my friend a-farin'? Probably not well I can certainly tell But hey,  good looking?  What cha' wearin'? Hopefully not a frown,  boy Turn it upside down,  joy! Hooray!"

after my poem,  Xaren holds his head in his hand and just tries to disappear.  Rikius gives me the Stare before turning his attention to his book cuz he can’t see true talent.  everybody else thinks my poem is great.  Samuel,  my best friend and #1 Fan,  loves my poem.  as we reach Terrindego,  we park the carriage on the outskirts and head in to collect information and sleep.

Industria gathers info.  the tome is unusual,  containing all forms of magic within.  it makes spells more powerful and allows the wielder to cast more of certain spells and there’s something of divine magic inside.  unsatisfied with this shit,  we decide to just turn it in and never talk of opening the tome again. we’re paired off for the night and i’m not with my bff as he’s bunked with Xaren.  Industria and Elathera bunk and i’m left with Rikius.  he seems miffed that he’s picked last,  but i tell him it’s fine.  we can braid each other’s hair and shit.  he says nothing. 

as we pick beds,  i lie down and Rikius begins to meditate.  he cracks an eye open and asks if i can really braid hair.  i say yeah cuz i got sisters and asks if he wants his hair braided.  he throws his hands up and says no,  but curiously looks at my paws later.  i catch him looking and shoot him a winky face and he smirks before returning to his meditation.  as he falls deep into it,  i sneak up and braid the shit out of his hair.  he doesn’t notice.  i go to bed satisfied.  We Have Bonded.  The Pact Is Sealed.

Xaren and Samuel have a romantic evening with depressing talks of their pasts and lives now.  a true heart-to-heart like this is the goddamn Notebook or something.  Elathera asks Industria of her father and then after learning she doesn’t know her dad,  she asks about how her childhood was and Industria glares at her.  after an uncomfortable answer,  Elathera tells her goodnight and goes to bed.

upon waking,  Industria goes to shake Elathera awake and is startled and disturbed by something and races from the room,  bumping into Samuel.  they head to breakfast.  as Rikius wakes up,  he notices something’s amiss.  when i wake shortly after,  he’s right by me with his arms crossed.  he’s not amused.  i tell him somebody broke into the room and put me into a sleeper hold,  so i couldn’t stop them from braiding his hair.  he doesn’t buy it.  he asks if i had fun and i said i don’t know since i was knocked the fuck out.  he takes the braids out and begins prepping his spells as i watch,  he notices my uncomfortable gaze and i tell him it’s a cat thing.

we all eat breakfast in almost awkward silence until Xaren notices something’s got Industria a little disturbed.  i ask if anyone else got attacked by the Phantom Sleeper Holder and Rikius stares at me really hard.  we try to figure out how to find the guardian of the forest and the bartender tells us we have to travel through the forests for a week as the forest constantly changes and if we do,  we’ll eventually find it.  we get ready to leave.

Rikius goes to get something and since we hate secrets here,  we ask him to just tell us.  he needed hair gel.  i tell him he wouldn’t need it if he just kept the braids in.  everybody breaks out in laughter as he glares me down.  Xaren tells me to stop fucking with people in their sleep so i tell him about the Phantom Sleeper Holder,  but Rikius yells that i was the one who did it.  I Am the One Who Braids.

as we head out,  Xaren falls back in the group to keep a healthy distance.  i fall back too and apologize for the Fuckening:  Tome Edition and he says it’s fine so long as i don’t pull that shit again.  i tell him he can punch me to get his anger out and make us even,  but he refuses.  he leans in and asks if i really braided Rikius’s hair so i tell him i braided the fuck out of that shit.  he asks if i’m good at it and i say yeah,  so he nods to himself.  mind you,  Xaren has a braid so he’s obviously looking for a new dealer.

we find a place to camp out and Tenin experiences his next Human Experience.  contact of the Alluring Kind.  he watches the camp for us and then wakes Samuel to look over the camp as as beautiful woman dances her way to him.  his shouting wakes all of us up and in the trees i get a prime view of this woman wrapping her arms around Tenin, still dancing.  this woman literally cannot stand still and i think Tenin’s highly uncomfortable.  as she goes to dive on him to apparently suck his blood (she was a fey vampire thing),  he pushes her off as we come to his rescue.

we pretty much destroy this woman.  like she just wanted a nice dance and suck with a big,  handsome man and instead she got the whole goddamn Spanish Inquisition.  nobody anticipates the Volunteer Fire Department.

Problematic Movies of the 80s | Stripes (1981)

by Don Hall

Bill Murray saved my life in high school.

I was always a bit of an outlier in grade school. A smartass. A kid who tried to redefine himself multiple times due to being the new kid in every school, every year. I believe that because I was perpetually new to each system in place, I was able to be more objective about the flaws in those systems. I could see through the built in hypocrisies and the shallowness of the popular crowds.

On the other hand, maybe I was just an asshole who decided early on to play things by my own set of rules.

When Murray came out in 1979 with Meatballs the caricature of my character became popular in a way that only pop culture can define. The rules were flaccid and pointless he told us. Everything was a joke he proclaimed. No wonder my teachers mostly hated me.

In 1980, as I joined the awful social experiment known as high school, my mom had had about enough and I started getting appointments set up for me with military recruiters. The idea being that perhaps being indoctrinated into a highly disciplined, brutally conformist system that I couldn’t escape from would sand off my anti-authoritarian edges and prime me better for life.

In 1981 my cinematic, comedic hero answered the call that asked and answered the question: What if the Army took in a squad of the least capable idiots ever comprised for military service and they managed to succeed despite all evidence to the contrary?

Stripes Directed by  Ivan Reitman Written by Len Blum, Dan Goldberg, Harold Ramis

From the get-go, John Winger (Murray) is shown to be a complete loser man-boy. In the first five minutes, he has two guys ditch the fare in his cab, he abandons his cab on a bridge because his new fare is a caustic old woman, his car is repossessed, and his live-in girlfriend dumps him because he is basically coasting through life and squandering any future she may have with him.

His best friend Russell (Ramis) is seen to be a completely unqualified ESL teacher for new New York immigrants who doesn’t really take his employ seriously and for his first lesson teaches his class to sing the refrain of “Da Do Ron Ron.”

Life has passed them by so Winger convinces Russell to join the Army because Why Not?

Thus the two enlist and are instantly surrounded by a cast of complete outcasts, idiots, and miscreants who basically had the same idea. They meet two hot MPs (P.J. Soles and Sean Young) who remarkably take a shine to them and the inevitable representation of Boot Camp authority, Sergeant Hulka (Warren Oates).

The plotline exists solely to showcase the sort of early SNL sketch moments of these ridiculous fish-out-of-water morons navigating the Army: buzzcuts, marching pointlessly, a tell-us-your-story session with Hulka, clashes between the Sarge and Winger, the night of leave at a strip club with women mud wrestling (remember when this was a thing?), and a classic moment that apes the commercials of the day as the morons slowly crawl back to the barracks, exhausted, singing the “Be All You Can Be” jingle.

The two hot MPs whisk them away from being arrested from the strip club and then we have the two loser dudes have bizarre childish sexy times with them.

The inevitable Bad News Bears triumph, the assignment to a classified operation involving a militarized Winnebago, an illegal infiltration of Czechoslovakia and RV rescue, and a wrap-up where everyone but P.J. Soles comes out as a hero (her big post-Stripes achievement is the cover of Playboy.)

Throughout it all, Murray maintains his smarmy, smartass objectivity. 

PROBLEMATIC MOMENTS/THEMES

Oh man. Stripes is a relative stew of problematic elements, simmering without malice but just as tasty when the ingredients are sussed out.

Mocking immigrants? Check.

“Monkeyheaded chicks” when referring to Vietnamese women? Check.

Unnecessary topless women. Check. Check, check, check, and check.

Token black actors with lines that only reflect that they are, in fact, black? Check.

Speaking of gratuitous boobs, why does Captain Stillman (John Larroquette) have to be pulling a Porky’s move and spying on naked women in the shower on a military base with almost no women present almost anywhere? 

Mild homophobic humor (cuz being gay was funny in the 80s…) Check.

DID IT HOLD UP?

Let’s face it. Under the scrutiny of 2019 and the Overwhelming Parade of Wokeness, this film is not making the cut.

BUT.

I love early Bill Murray. On some level, I feel his man-child attitude was exactly what a fourteen-year old kid needed: someone who threw all of the conformity and mundanity of adult life and said “Fuck this, man. Let’s behave as if none of it matters and laugh like loons at all the squares!” As an adult in his fifties, I can see that this lifestyle, this dogma of nonconformity and 1970’s SNL thumbing noses at the Establishment, wears thin pretty soon.

My guess is that the Gen Z kids out there will feel the same way when the re-watch some of their Woke heroes on film.

In my teens, I saw Winger’s perspective. In my fifties, I totally understand his girlfriend when she dumps him. In my teens, Sergeant Hulka was The Boot on the Neck of the Hero. In my fifties, he’s the hero. Or at least not the bad guy. I mean, Murray’s the hero despite learning nothing and maintaining his heathy disdain for humanity.

One part of the disconnect from films of the 1980s and today is that then there was less a need for every piece of film to have a political message of some kind. Today, whether the movie is driving at a message or not, the introspection of every film is to look deeply for the message it’s sending. In the black and white paradigm of Oppressors and Oppressed, we are no longer looking at the fun but the Good and Evil in every casting choice, every plot device, every line or joke.

So. Did it hold up? Probably not but I’m keeping my VHS copy until the day I die for the same reason I still keep Abbey Road and always have a copy of David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest. It’s simply a part of who I am and a benchmark of who I have become. It also still makes me laugh.

OVERALL

Scale of 1 to 10 1 = Classic 10 = Burn all VHS copies of it

For Me: Stripes gets a 2. For Everybody Else: 7

Next Up: Amazon Women on the Moon (1987)

Episode #10: "This is why people hate the gays” - Michael

Oh my fucking god did y’all see that tribal I was like butch it’s me I’m going like bye bye omg but NO it was simply a vote reveal and the idol WILL be mine

So a few things to go over...

One, the plan to get rid of Felix was successful and bought me and Michael another day...HOWEVER, it would appear that I was not the first person to make it to the end of the bridge, which is a shame cuz I REALLY needed this idol, but it's okay.

Because Michael is still gonna be considered a bigger threat than me, and the most likely to go home if we both don't win immunity. That being said, I'm REALLY hoping I can pull this immunity off cuz it'd just be nice to not have to worry about it being me at tribal.

i'm on highkey alert starting now.... this round (and honestly for the rest of the game) is prime time for blindsides and the waters are ripe for it... i really wouldn't be shocked if i'm targeted and have to play my idol hmph. i really really really just want to be able to use it successfully and i will feel content af with my game no matter what happens...

my plan to take out jones is slowly unfolding, i worked on ryan earlier, and got him to see jones as a ringleader.. and he wants her out soon.. which is perfect for me hehe.. i just dropped some hints here and there that she has a lot of connections.. and now he's paranoid that she's gonna bring together a group of michael/david/mo/ahrre... which is perfect for me since i can use him to take her out... funny enough im not sure when i should take out ryan, he's definitely a threat going forward... but if i play my cards right i can take both of them out because i'm also painting ryan as a big target to some of the others hehe.. im trying not to overplay rn bc my ass is not on the line for votes currently, one misstep and I'm gone

im so mad.. rn LMAOAOAOAO like. jones is overplaying as hell n i want michael gone SOOOOOO BAD but i gotta be fake af.. almsldndg

me n ryan r the best duo tho like.. i think ive convinced everyone thet we arent as together as they think umu

So Felix went home. Which I knew about despite voting for Michael. I thought it was gonna be like 5-5 and tobi was considering to flip to avoid rocks. I didnt want Felix gone personally so I sent in a vote for Michael knowing it wouldnt change the outcome.

Jones is really overplaying wanting this next vote to be a split vote. Like no its 3-3-3 that way. THATS NOT SAFE. ITS ASKING for someone to flip. NO. Jones is going home this round or next round. Thats the T.

extra shit.. me tobi rhys ryan are all mad susp of miss jones and i think im tryna convince all of them to stick wth her plans until f7 and us 4 can cut her ass out of the equation :) yayayaya im excited. girl deserves it after her overplaying last week as much as i love her

Wiggling my way out of danger was a huge success, now i'm just hoping to lay low and not cause much drama and basically let the larger players; David, Rhys, Jones take one another out which will allow me to hopefully slip through the cracks and make it far.

nvm idk how to feel ab my position anymore ignore all previous confessionals that i praise myself LMAOAOAOAOA

It’s critical that I try my best to win immunities since my name and David’s is on the line and I’d rather he’d go than me. My best plan is to use Jones to my advantage she has a lot of sway with the other side and by playing off her need to be the leader and to have power to keep me in this game. Everybody wants power and everyone wants control and if Jones thinks that she has control over both sides of the tribe then she’s not gonna get suspicious and take me out.

So I’m a little disheartened by the touchy subjects results. I won “the biggest goat” and “who doesn’t deserve to be here” and it sucks because these people are my friends and I guess most of them think this. But water off a ducks back, I’m going to smile and keep moving forward. I wanna win.

Another day another update. So from were we left off Felix did end up going home good shit he didn't have an idol. He did play the vote reveal thing but I doubt that changed anything in the slightlest lel. That attempt from Scott to save face by also voting Felix is cute tho hehe.

Anyhow so after that we went to touchy subjects which tbh I was waiting because that would be an opening in my game. So Ryan and Rhys think I'm a goat which it's not suprising considering they're the ones I talk to the least. However most importantly Mo was picked as the goat by the most people.

Now this is a tough game and everyone is putting a lot of effort into it so imo it's not easy to point out a goat and Mo is understandably feeling down because he's as much into this game as everyone else. So I knew this was my opportunity to make a move because Mo will be wanting to prove himself to others so if I'm gonna try something this is my best oportunity to get his vote.

Now I grab Michael and David as well who are in a desperate spot and BAM we have the underground boys. So now the plan is simple. Tobi told me they want to split the votes between Mo and Michael in case Michael has an idol, so we get them to split then Mo and me flip and hopefully get someone.

That someone should be Ryan IMO because he's def a duo with rhys and even a stronger duo with Scott. So birds one stone. Plus he called me a goat so hey thre's that :)

lmfao i'm getting dead silence from half the tribe and totally awkward conversation from Jones... definitely getting the vibe that i'm the target. I know Scott got tea from Tobi that Jones has concocted some scheme to split the vote on me and/or rhys or something to that extent? idek i need the full picture tomorrow but lol. should be a fun show no matter what happens

Ok so Michael, David, Fabricio and I formed an alliance because were kind of on the outs. I know this is weird because I had rough pasts with all of them but I really like this alliance. Now, do I trust Michael? Absolutely fucking not, he already lowkey threw me under the bus after the alliance was made. By telling Jones I told him. So I want him gone soon.

bih.. i aint in the mood today at all..

first of all last night touchy subjects. david wins lol x. i get most trusted n least trusted bc thats a thing ig. werk mama.

then to make matters worse... miss jones wants to split on either me or ryan incase michael idols ...

n now ive told tobi abou  t my idol n idk why im just feelin quirky n cool lol

I have to laugh... this game gets wilder by the minute... my position right now is really fragile but its good if i play it right... right now i have a lot of influence over what happens hehe... like i swear to god i feel cocky but lets review some things. 1. Jones is wrapped around my finger... i've been playing this whole super supportive ally and she even gave us the name "kermit and miss piggy" for our duo (me being miss piggy obv) and i've been working hard on her.. i got her to realize michael was actually super manipulating and was using her for a lot of things.. which is funny because that's exactly what im doing to her... she even showed me some stuff he wrote to her and i was consistently telling her that im trying to protect her from being manipulated by him... i swear to god im evil HAHA and like i love her and all but she's a huge social threat and if i see a clear shot im gonna take her out 2. scott scott scott... we were sharing idol guesses a few days ago and he went ghost on me on the guesses... i had suspicions that he was close to getting/had the idol... AND HE LITERALLY TOLD ME HE HAD IT I WAS LIKE OMGGG like this made me SO relieved because that means that i don't have to worry about the merge idol popping up without me knowing, but after i leaked his idol in Saint Vincent i have NO idea why he told me again... like this obv makes me wanna take him out and do stuff but im not gonna leak it again... i think. But like im not here to play fiddle to him... im here to win and if i have to take him out later i will... but the thing is that i don't know when a good time to take him out is, if im in f6 with a bunch of goats, the target is gonna be on me... so i have to think more about what im gonna do about him 3. ryan... i haven't been working hard on him, but he did come up to me with a plan to get me, him, rhys, and scott to the f4 like omg thats pretty iconic but going to f4 with a challenge beast like ryan? i have to laugh... im not stupid... challenge beasts have been the bane of my org career and im not about to let it happen again here... i have a lot on my plate right now, and im playing hard, but what's lovely is that i dont think im a threat to anyone? at least in comparison to the scott/ryan/jones clusterfuck that im gonna try to orchestrate, im lowkey... i swear to god if i actually pull this shit off.... my mind... but then again i might just flop again like usual so who knows hehe

now that ik my name has been thrown out im so nerv ALMFNHFg like i dnt wanna be blindsided 5-4 o.o but uhm i hope for the best n hopefully im smart enuff to play idol ?

i just want jones gone is that so much to ask

idk How to make confessionals apparently Bc I KEEP FORGETTING AHHH Michael comes to me right after the Felix vote and says “hey David crossed the bridge the idol’s gone” and I’m like MOTHERFUCKER. I WAS THIS FUCKING CLOSE. And it obviously scared me because either of them could be lying and one of them could have the idol. And I OF COURSE PANICKED. The next day I went to try and cross the bridge (Bc I was on 90) and I ACTUALLY DID IT!!! but guess what,,,,, THERE WAS NOTHING!!!!! HORRAY!! Idk what I’d do with myself if I got an idol tbh,, that shits scary. But yeah knowing that the idol is gone AND THAT I heard it from Michael first is hella scary and that could mean 3 things - A) theyre felling the truth and it’s gone, B) Michael’s a liar and Has it, or C) David lied to Michael and David has the idol. So right now this information is fucking with my head. And it’s deeeefinitely going to in the next vote.

So David wins immunity and I’m not THAT bothered by it? Of course it just makes things harder for everyone else Bc the original plan was to split between Michael and David, BUT NOW WE CANT. Either way Michael has to go home. He has a really terrible way of getting into everyone’s head and it’s not good for anyone. Plus if he makes it to the end he has such a good chance at winning with an underdog story it’s not even funny ajddjkf. BUT Theres still the possibility that one of those two has an idol, and we really have to think wisely on who would go in case that happens. Tobi thinks Mo is the safer move, but I really don’t think there’s a point in getting rid of someone that everyone thinks of as a sheep. Plus I’d like to sit with him in the end soooooo yeah. My personal preference on who the “blindside target” would be is Ryan. I love him to DEATH and Sweyn to the end, but he’s a challenge threat, and we have to pick off Sweyn eventually if the Muppet alliance wants to be victorious. Michael and david are already on board with getting him out anyway Bc they think he and Rhys are “tight” lol. But right now the vote split should be 7-2 on Michael as far as I know, there’s a solid chance that Mo will get a vote and if he does I’ll actually DIE. Also /according to Michael/, he said that Mo came to him and told him was voting for Michael. AND LIKE THATS THE THING MICHAEL IS PLANTING SEEDS IN MY HEAD THAT MO ISnt some I can trust and that /scares me/ which is why he has to go. If the tribal goes right, Michael goes, if Michael plays an idol, Ryan goes. If it’s a tie between Ryan and Mo, Ryan goes.,,, hopefully.

So, Touchy Subjects, Im almost irrelevant, atleast im honest.

Anyway, The vote plan is Michael. However Jones is scared of an idol. I dont really want to split a vote but Jones is persistant on it. Ive been talking with people and apprently the split vote is on Mo.

However I talk to Ahrre and he knows this information too? Im on the bottom of whatever this is. Like I NEVER hear stuff first. I NEVER feel like I acctually know whats going on.

So to be honest. I dont feel like im going to win. Atleast not on this path. So I need to take a peck at the leader. Jones. Mo and Ahrre are said to be in her pocket. This is bad for 2 reasons. Jones has more power, and they arent doing much thus will be dragged to the end. So removing power, and increasing my odds of getting to the end will be great.

So the split vote is set to be 5-2-2. However, I can safely tell Michael that its 2 on Mo. So Michael & David both vote Mo. This is 5-4. We just need 1 flip to make this happen. So that could either be me, changing my vote to Mo. Perhaps someone else could flip beside me. Fingers crossed.

So it seems like once again I am getting voted and with the amount of idols and such out there it’s getting more and more scary being this bitch who’s constantly getting voted because at any point I’m either getting the majority or I’m getting idolled out. I’m just hoping and praying that everything goes well and I need to start winning immunity

i like don't know what's happening fahsdfhas. i kinda snapped and messaged michael for some reason, i think to see if he was gonna vote me.. and i kinda told him/he asked and i confirmed that there's a split plan in motion and he told me him/david are voting Mo and i was like well if you don't want me out i don't want you out... and Scott tells me he heard throuoght the grapevine (from tobi who heard from ahrre who was told by michael fjasld) that Michael said it was RHYS that let him know??? i'm. so idk faksdjf but i'm floundering a bit tbh. there's like less than 3 hrs until tribal so i hope i figure out concretely whats gonna happen

Alright so let's go through a couple of things.

I WON IMMUNITYYYY. Omg, it felt so good to get redemption after losing this same challenge in my first org. (I got the tiebreaker there too and was WAY off, LOL fuck me) And anyways, it feels good to not have to worry about it being me tonight and to have a spot in the final 8. Hopefully this shows people that I've BEEN here to friggin play.

So now as it stands for tribal tonight...myself, Michael, Mo and Ahrre are gonna vote Ryan out. The other side are planning to split their votes 3 for Michael and 2 for Mo cuz they think Ahrre and Mo are voting for Michael. If all goes well and no idols get played, then we're in for the biggest power shift this season has seen and I cannot wait to be a part of that shift, cuz it's FUCKING GO TIME BABY

ugh the idol paranoia i'm having rn........ i can't if i go home w the idol im gonna hate myself n if i misplay the idol im gonna hate myself jlskhfd like this vote is so uncertain to me.. i could be overthinking but i just dk... so like i almost want to just be messy and get the other 5's votes on me and idol myself…

ok so messy ryan jumped out and acted on his idolinpocket paranoia flaksdhf. i talked to both mo and michael and threw jones under the bus pretty bluntly.. mo seemed to already knoow that jones created the split plan w him as the vote, and is just acting like he thinks he's going home so idk if thats genuine or not. michael on the other hand, seems genuinely thinking it was between him or mo and now wants to get ahrre and me to vote mo with him and david and rhys who already voted mo. fladfjas so i've realized i was highkey overthinking but. this is interesting

Right so idek where I left off but I think it was right after the underground boys were formed. Anyhow so Jones was weary of ryan so she thought about voting him, thing is he only wanted him as a backup plan in case Michael played an idol because everyone and their mums want him dead at the end of the day I guess.

So I'm like ok let's get michael and david to vote ryan with us and then while one of us still votes michael to make it a 4-3-2, (without letting her know Mo was with us and that I would vote ryan anyways lel) but then she freaked out and so did everyone really and they suddenly didn't want to split anymore and everyone was voting Michael.

However I managed to convince Tobi (and by proxy the rest of sweyn cause let's face it tobi is on top of this game that's another guy I've got to get rid of) to split the vote anyways, so as it stands Tobi and Rhys are voting Mo and Ryan Scott and Jones are voting Michael. But the thing is that they think Mo and me are also voting Michael but in reality we're gonna vote Ryan so it SHOULD be 4 votes Ryan 3 Michael and 2 Mo.

Now my worry is that if Ryan plays an idol it all goes to shit but I'm trying my hardest to make sure he doesn't know. Anyhow let's see how this plays out.

It doesn’t feel good to be facing elimination especially now that jones is voting me. Any slight deviation from the plan for anyone could lead to my elimination but I hope that now ryan is voting mo that I might just scrape by once again and with jones’ Transparent game she shouldn’t be Long behind Ryan.

lmao so they (michael, david, ahrre, mo) tried to pull off a rly good move flipping their votes onto me. and if only rhys hadn't had to sleep early and didnt vote Mo, I'd be sitting pretty but they did that.... unfortunately for them, apparently Jones fucked up heavily and immediately voted Michael in the revote? did i hear that correctly? KLFSJLDFHS WIG. i kinda feel bad bc... i really should be leaving here but.... wig. I had done some campaigning to Mo before I found this out and think i was making some good groundwork to get him to keep me and he was at least oon the fence, so i might have had a shot even if jones were gonna vote me. but wig.. if she really did that, then that means me and scott have made the final 8 and we still have 2 idols in our pockets WHEW. big moves is coming ladies

This is why people hate the gays smh. Please be ryan please be ryan please be ryan go home Ry ry

ugh can't believe my best friend michael is leaving tonight ): LMSHNBG am i fuck..

legit im sooooo happy ryan is staying altho a little peeved as well tbh.. i coulda had 2 idols :flushed: but i wont complain.............

anyway. i still think jones is crazy n her idea of trying to get me to flip on ryan is absolutely absurd ALMJFNFG like bitch.. i know im on the bottom if i flip im not dumb why do u think i didnt vote mo like u told me to lAMNFHBFG IJS!!

i just gotta win immunity next week n im confirmed at least f5? hopefully? LAMNHFBFG like. i dont wanna. be tied on. and i wanna keep this idol for the l0ong haul. which is why i told ryan and tobi. oooop. LAMNJHBFG.

PROB NOT A GOOD IDEA TELLING TOBI but i rly do trust him this time around... he gives me legit all the tea n i do the same back :flushed:

lolll i lvoe having the worst jury management :))) love sticking to sides :)))) like i aint gunna clear that perception up by voting ryan suck my dick he trusts me and thats all i care about..

like. im gunna be hounded on for not flipping to a side who wants me out n thats so annoying!! i rly cant win aLMFHFG. these cunts can fuck off idc ill argue with every single one of them

michael... he's a cockroach... he wont just DIE like there have been so many times where there was something stopping him from leaving... last round jones wanted felix so we obliged and now its this stupid tie revote kjflkjdf like this is exactly why i wanted him out earlier... getting numbers against him is gonna be hard and i really hope his ass leaves in the revote... he should anyway hehe.. i have a few options going forward and i feel like i could possibly do a lot but the question is do i want to be doing a lot??? if people start thinking that im a threat then shit LMAO but the thing is there are so many goats and pawns (mo, ahrre, david) that if you do anything significant, your threat level is obvious and like i want to take out some of the threats but im worried if i take out too many,,, the goats will become sentient and take my ass out... i just need to take this one vote at a time while planning for the future its simple :^)

ITS BEEN A MESSY 24 HOURS AND HERES THE FUCKING TEA so the vote ended up being a tie. NOT THE ONE I PREDICTED. It ended up being a Michael/Ryan tie. AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER AJ EXPLAINS THE RULES MICHAEL BLOWS UP MY WHOLE FUCKING GAME (almost.) he says “Jones you orchestrated this vote follow through with it” AND IM???? LITERALLY??? Ryan was never a target of mine,,, never the main target I mean BUT NEVER A TARGET. David Mo and Michael all told me that Ryan was gunning for me though,, but that was AFTEr I revoted for Michael sooooooooo that’s the tea. But like,, Michael is,, kind of being an asshole. Very much so. I feel like he’s taking advantage of my emotions to try and manipulate me into Saving him, but I really wouldn’t mind if either him or Ryan went?? Preferably Michael obviously lol. He was never someone I wanted to take to the end anyway, so it’s better to get rid of him while we can lol. Also!!? That dumbass shit that Michael said on hangouts??? Rhys and Ryan made a whole ass 180 in our relationship Bc THEY THOUGHT I VOTED FOR RYAN BC OF WHAT MICHAEL SAID AKDJKDFNJF. Thank god I was actually able to work it out with them, but like,,, fuck that scared me. This is why Michael needs to go Bc he’s a loose cannon and will DESTROY MY GAME. OFF WITH HIS FUCKING HEAD

i finally understand why no one respects Mo as a player lol, he really has no back bone of his own at all..

The vote ties 4-4-1, and Michael is sent home 4-3 after a revote.

Disappeared more people they supported more people

And yes he sits there mincing words on this machine subpoena more people is what they did and the questioning them and interviewing them and their questioning lots of people who are associated with attached to and interrogating them and they're capturing you tons of people who are involved and imprisoning them all over Earth and they're getting a clear picture of these Max are and actually obsolves our son with tons of stupid things are doing. All of it really. But mostly it implicates Trump and trying to take over by force is missing from that room for 8 minutes they survived yesterday actually you did and your own daughter is one who testified about it and open that subject up because she can't stand you no one can stand you they want you away from them they can't have a minutes peace when you're around you're like some autistic child bring on the house blithering stuff taking things pulling guys out being a huge a****** and then he was the joker coming up shortly with this in a circle of nice when you're an asinine a****** it's coming up pretty quick harlequin is it clearing tonight and these people have a serious addiction to having imitate people to do something anything at all that was doing nothing you catch that they're sitting there thinking nothing doing nothing a bunch of assholes about it my son is always doing something and thinking of something cuz these people like to sit there and stare or sleep we can't stand them we don't like you weirdos at all.

Well they're questioning people they're supposedly family you can see Trump in the next room or adjacent building screwing around with them almost forcing them to talk about it and they hate them so much already it pushes them to try and say stuff that works and they have many instances Justin was pushed and he said we don't know where he was he's out of the room and he wasn't in the white house and we're looking for him and we could see a crowd advancing towards the White House and other buildings and then entering one and they were there for a while and then a crowd left and he was back I said what do you think happens so do you snuck out and he wouldn't help raid information of his opposition and you have any proof and no not really that's what they were there and we couldn't find him in the building and we did search it thoroughly with secret service it's a bad time for him to disappear you see we're under siege they said thank you and a lot of people corroborated it then you showed up here next door after the incident not too long after it okay only a year a little less than a year that's about a year almost exactly and you look like your character who is tario and you sound like him a little you're mocking everybody as if you actually won in your take over. They say it wasn't my primary objective and labs and my son said the information there it was not sensitive not sensitive enough to get you all sorts of free stuff and positions no and it's not really where people keep their Master plans so you went on to say he got all sorts of free stuff and he starts saying we failed and didn't do it I'm saying for them to keep trying also we start laughing cuz he's an idiot and tells people that and the cops didn't think it was funny it's addition it's ongoing and continuing and they have him under duress and also the rest they started fighting him instead of winning recently he's being destroyed. Now they have this January 6th committee and they're going over it and there bring them to court shortly over it they said they're going to and we mentioned that they're going to do it today actually today and I'll have him in court Monday no they'll have him in court today that's what they wanted to do yesterday and you can see it doesn't say it very clearly it says we're convene today and bring in the prime suspect that's what they call him. Now he's been putting devices around and blowing people up and blowing up some things and this coded too and he's going to go to trial for that too and ask Donald Trump for domestic terrorism trying to threaten his way back in office huge number of people need to see it now they're pursuing his fleet as well and going up there today who is sick of this s*** it should be they're going to wail on it the foreigners fall and end up wailing it too it's like 200 million ships left a lot of them are one mile about half and then start getting bigger but really when they go out there they end up hitting a cross-section of sizes and the fleets pretty big my volume what is half the fire power of the empire our son points out that's a dangerous slab on a firepower and it is. It was sick of him here we're coming in to clear them out we have to so both huge fleets are going to close in on them and they're not powerful compared to both who in the midst too and we're going to hit these pieces of s*** momentarily probably only an hour away

Thor Freya

Thank God

Hera Zues

I thought that would never end usually what happens is they hit a whole bunch of ships and the rest of them run and the other fleets can't chase after them so they wait and they'll reform and boy they annoying

Nuada Arrianna

We see the reaction globally they can't stand them and ask is there any way to get around them to surround them they say there is and they're going to try and work on it

Uriel and Goddess Wife

We use up all our son's fuel now it is very valuable. We're hitting and hitting and hitting but they've been squares we really need to take their fleet out and other bases of theirs you're going to lunch all sorts of ground attacks and their ships will start moving and the Max and forgieners will start moving on them.we Procede in moments
