#it also lead to one of my favorite things ive said in a convo:

[justarandomidiot1]

OH HELLO???? I didnt realize there was another Epic Au being made for Ace Attorney lol. I skimmed thru the blog to see who you put as who and its fun how youre also doing your own thing w characters vs how Im just assigning character roles to different AA characters lol

I will definitely check out the au you and your friend made more!!

this is an au i've been thinking up since like a month after the thunder saga released

[macgyvertape]

50 or so hours into Cyberpunk 2077

This should be roughly the correct amount of time, ive been leaving the game running as I get up to get food or do stretches. Quests are roughly in order I did them

non spoilers above cut:

 i haven't found a single hat/helmet i like, and since you can't hide them I just am not wearing any. It matters that much.

I posted the other day about bugs, every few hours I play I find new bugs. some require me to go back and reload a save others I honestly can’t tell if it’s a bug or just really poor development

there are several perks that don’t quite do what the description says, like the Anamesis perk. Based on reddit and trying it out it seems to just not do anything.

sometimes in car chase segments the passenger will say “look out” as cars spawn in my path and hit me. Can’t tell if that was deliberate or a pop in issue

Yeah I’ve just totally given up on doing pacifist things unless required by a mission. Given up on doing stealth too unless a mission objective, except for sneaking around to set up a fight.

:readmore:

the delemain car quest is fun. From the shock of the one going "beep beep motherfucker" and doing a hit and run to start it off, to the GLADOS car i see a lot of people talking about. It was fun to explore the city when i might have missed places like the landfill apparently there is follow up on T-bug's death if you go back to the quick hack shop in Kabuki. It's not much but better than nothing I made the pass with Panam of "what if the room just had one bed". I know she won't do a wlw romance, which is fine since I wouldn’t have chosen her.  I enjoy her as a character, don’t get me wrong, my V considers her as a friend, but it seems like theres always drama going on which would be tiring. I would have gone for a fling, i like her leotard-pants combo with all the straps

but also her questline was buggy as hell. Multiple cases of having to reload due to clipping into objects, including her in a driving section, or just insta-dying when collision physics with some rocks broke "your neural network can no longer function independantly of the chip" me slapping my desk: s y m b i o te!!! come on lets have some s y m b i o s i s

in the scene with hellman i really liked how Johnny moved around the room. It made him feel like he was really there. it was hard to follow the convo as I left the room, i would not have understood it without subtitles. But i guess Takemura fucking waterboarded hellman. :|

lol I hope the dialogue is different b/c i refuse to smoke for Johnny

i am level 18 and still can't beat the first opponents in the fist fighting quest. ffs

I looked up the romances options so I went to do the I fought the law quest as soon as i got it. ACAB, but like I literally just met River Ward 2 minutes ago, and I really like him. His earring and cyborg eye, his big fluffy coat. I'm definitely gonna sleep with him Ok i like how when River Ward is dealing with the tiger claws if you interject it leads to a fight. It goes better if you follow his instructions and let him deal with it. Seriously I enjoy that sometimes its good to not pick a dialogue choice.

during the red queen club part, there was no dialogue over the phone. So i reloaded a save and got myself spotted and attacked. Then River showed up to help me <3 and it was more enjoyable having him there. I honestly am not sure if him not going to the club level is bug or not.

then uuuuuugh the worst of irl police "cops are my family" from Detective Han. Again ACAB "FRATERNITY OF CITY COPS RESEMBLES A [Nomad] CLAN NOT AT ALL" ok a few minutes ago i was complaining about bugs, but the character modeling in this game is good (when they're there). You can see body posture, characters jiggle their legs when they are nervous. Like I though character A was just throwing a cigarette on the ground, but then character B flinches back; I realize Char A threw it at B as a fuck you

I'm honestly curious if "I fought the Law" quest will have any impact later on. My choices were that I thought there was more going on than Holt being the only person behind this (based on how complicated the main questline heist is, and keeping an eye on some of the in game news), and told him not to take it to internal affairs, and I loved his response of how he doesn't give a shit what we think, he's doing it anyway.

In the elevator to report in, Johnny said "this muck is deeper than you think, tell them nothing", so i just said that the case was complicated. anyway i love how much of a sarcastic asshole V is

I thought i was being nonlethal with the monk quest, but it seems i accidently killed someone. RIP, but thats kind of the problem with this game. Like when i do the non lethal cyberpychosis quests I equip my non lethal modded gun and hope for the est. I like how a go here kill things quest led to Charles the ripperdoc. He's getting all his parts from scav gang members so I felt obligated to take him out. I got a police bounty for it but w/e.

I merged the Delemain fragments with the whole. Guess he's the meta now. (Side note: some of my favorite rvb fanfic plots are Ai consiousness/memory merging with the humans, so I’m having fun with this game and look foward to introspective fanfic)

Honestly Jonny made some good points, the fragments didn't deserve to die; but also destroying the core and freeing the fragments, they couldn't really function alone.

I was able to rescue Saul fine with stealth. Using cameras and the synapse overload really made it easy.  Can't use the sniper rifle reward b/c I don't have the stats for it, and while it has a silencer the fact that it's a ricochette weapon and not a shoot through walls weapons, makes it not as good imo; and theres a legendary one that is stats free for only 100k.

Lol made a pass again at Panam, and she immediately shut me down. I then did Mitch's quest and I love every time someone tells V they area  good person.

I hacked the operation carpe noctem shard, and wow the corporations are using ai to make people have cyberpsychosis, or something like that. What a shocker /s, I've played Deus Ex HR before

lol driving through the unifinished interstate, past the fight from Panam's first quest I found a "batcave" with a very nice car, and a manifesto written by "muckman'. But here's my complaint about the loot, there is a legendary top, but it had 16 armor. My current top has 84 armor, like why would i switch?? then later i found a bunker with soviet spies in it. Wild

Doing River's second quest, love the timing of as soon as you ask, why are we breaking in, someone shows up to tell you he got kicked off the force. It's funny how Johnny comments how maybe River's into you, and V just doubts Johnny's words. Love how the first kid asks River if I'm his girlfriend. also wow like oof both the second parts of Judy and River's quest are SUPER fucked UP!! oof like i stopped doing first person mode on the braindances for those quests as soon as i could, just made me too uncomfortable seeing that in first person.

DRIVING IN THE GAME IS BAD! nowhere is it more apparent than the sinnerman quest, which took me 3 times to get the driving section done, as cars spawned out of nowhere to hit me. Then when you restart, there is a bunch of dialogue it doesn't let you fast forward through. The rest of the Sinnerman questline is interesting. My V took every option to tell the dude that he was messed up, and what he was doing was wrong. idk, I was surprised how much dialogue there was that let you buy into his whole "forgiveness thing" and how there wasn't any real dialogue to call him the fuck out, that in seeking forgiveness he continues to do harm both emotional to the mother of the man he killed, but also that he got the husband killed via cop. The later follow up quest, I told him that what he is doing is crazy, studio is just going to profit off this vid. Then I refused to join him prayer, and told him fuck no i wasn't going to hammer him to the cross, or even watch. Yes, the man is scared of dying, and the corporation is exploiting him, but he keeps creating burdens for others.  I think the discussion on this quest will be interesting to read, it's definitely my own personal experience with religion coloring my view. Anyway back to a main quest, yeah i don't trust Placide, especially in that scene where he grabs my hand, then jacks in. I ran off to do most of the sidequests here and got some criticism from him. I do love how in the cinema the western movie switches to a mission brief as the netwatch agent talks. its a fun enviromental detail.  I took the netwatch offer, i don't think he's being fully honest with me, but he didn't put a virus in my head. As I told Placide later, I didn't pick a side. I like how you can then talk with the agent, who is a fan of Western movies, b/c they show "a simpler time where all good guys carry badges" :eyeroll:, and then V recommends Unforgiven, which from the wiki summary goes against that theme.

Looks like the Voodoo boys all got killed by Netwatch, but I as revenge for them trying to set me up I'm fine with it. Honestly after speaking with ai!Alt I don’t believe their plan of trying to be on good relations with AI would work. 

doing the johnny flashback 2, and wow Johnny really is an asshole. Like I had gotten so used to him in side missions I forgot how self centered and unlikable he was.You constantly get prompts to drink or do drugs, which I ignored. But i do love the goth/punk love Rogue and others have.

lol i called it, when Hellman said that the engram would seek to override the host, put V on the engram. I really like how as the relic malfunctions, you wind up in the chair with a cigarette, which you can either smoke and say you are turning into Johnny or throw away. My dialogue "your problem is the ends justify the means", which is true!!! He and Rogue detonated a nuke downtown, does anyone know that, and like ask Rogue about it????

(Funny you can ask Rouge about Johnny silverhand, over the phone, then the game bugs out and spawns her npc where you are. She doens't say much about the nuke, but she does say no one trusts you for jobs). The line of no one trusting you for jobs is pretty funny at level 46 street cred where im at “respected” status. really loving the family atmosphere at River's 3rd quest. Also his big strong arms, and the fact he is no longer a cop. I totally let the kids win, and wow the family dinner where they GRILL YOU over the relationship and try to set the two of you up, then the water tower scene!!!!! I don't love the first person sex cutscenes but they do have personality. I'm glad afterwards you got to tell River about the biochip and that you might die. Because he's so far removed from your personal plot. So I took that option to back out of a relationship.

I do love that you wake up with "river's tanktop" that says "fuck the police" It actually has extremely good armor stats, so thats what I'll wear now.

panam 3rd quest, when shes like why did you help me, I'm like "because it's important to you". Basically the closest you can get to "when a friend asks for help you help them", which as an ex-nomad backstory I really choose the nomad options when ever i can Paralezes quest part 2! I love the piano song but I always think of it as ocean's 11 music. It's also fun to see the computer and see Judy recommended you for the first quest. The emails talk about "forgetting" to hire a staffer, on the balocony a strange antennia was scannable, the color of the roses was remembered wrong...  lol guess i was right with those giant wall screens. Its fun environmental details that spell things out before you can notice, and it ties into some other quests where people's behavior is being altered. Actually, this quest "Dream On" I love it! For a while I've been like "wheres the illuminati conspiracy! Here it IS! I chose to follow Elisabeth's wishes and not tell her husband he was being brainwashed. In best case they program him to forget again, in worst case he ends up dead. The gaslighting Elisabeth described is CHILLING, her husband describes a vacation she can't remember and she doesn't know whose memories have been messed with. On your way to the plaza you get a call from someone/something that says the know exactly WHAT you are, any you black out!!! It's such a great feeling of helplessness that you're just one person in a world so big that you can't fight every power. As Johnny said, could be a corporation, could be a rogue ai, either way Jefferson is fucked (and so are you).

Each chat a top comment will be picked and featured on an ad for this chat, so let’s have a great discussion~!

With that said, let us begin with this first question~!

QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'M HERE

snuffysam

As am I

Draco Plato

I really liked the water battle pages, they were super gorgeous to look at

snuffysam

Visually, the water battle was incredible

Superjustin of Time and Space

yo can i jsut take a moment to appreciate Khehaic's hairdo

snuffysam

Hairdo noted

and appreciated

Draco Plato

I like Rofaryn's design most, haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

i always like when characters have "out there" haircolors/styles- they're super easy to appreciate imo(edited)

If I had to say one thing

this is a pretty epic shot too

Draco Plato

oh yeah that page I think is my fave visually too

such gorgeous lighting

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yea

RebelVampire

yeah that is a visually beautiful page. i love the addition of the flora in the foreground because i think it really adds a great touch for making an excellent focal point

mariah (rainy day dreams)

I really liked the final part of the confrontation with water baddy. I thought he was really interesting in general and secretly hope he is somehow not actually dead :p

MathTans the Pun Prince

Hiyo. Regards scene, I actually liked the conversation between Cel and Cin as they came back to the village. I thought it was a clever time to cut away, added some character depth, and at one point there was the mention of "why are they choosing a female" and I thought "ohmigod, clever world building now I understand the two husbands thing".

(Of course, that could have been referenced earlier and I'm slow.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

MathTans the Pun Prince

Though the water scenes were very well drawn too.

RebelVampire

@mariah maybe hell come back as a zombie O_O

snuffysam

I think it was referenced earlier, but not as in-depth

Superjustin of Time and Space

Only thing I wished is that the sky started to get darker in the last few pages leading up to Page 56

mariah (rainy day dreams)

@RebelVampire god I hope so!

snuffysam

Yeah, story-wise, I loved the character development between Cel and Cin

Superjustin of Time and Space

sicne on this page it's as bright as it was the past few pages

MathTans the Pun Prince

(I do have a tendency to focus on story, I'm like that.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

but it's something minor

so no harm done

snuffysam

I'm ready for whatever villain the next chapter holds. See if they can top our water wizard

RebelVampire

thats a good point justin. the sky is pretty bright.

Joichi

I'm currently checking out this comic, so just reading people's comments on it

RebelVampire

i do like the scene between cin and cel. i think of all the scenes in the comic is was the most interesting for character cause it did allow for that moment of depth. although i also liked how even tho it was the two of them, we also learned mor about rofaryn

Superjustin of Time and Space

I didn't realise I was already following it on Tap(edited)

lol

Draco Plato

yeah same rebel

camillabluejay

Yeah @RebelVampire that was one of the things I regretted, was too many group scenes and not enough one on one. More character development is easier when it's less characters

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yeah

Joichi

I agree, character development is easiest with less than a group.

MathTans the Pun Prince

It's an interesting format overall though, the band of travellers encountering new people all the time.

RebelVampire

at least in the largest scope it should work out tho. groups cant be developed in a day. most stories generally have to take turns when they focus on groups

MathTans the Pun Prince

I imagine it's also dangerous to split the party.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol Math

camillabluejay

The next chp they're going to split up haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

YOU JINXED IT

camillabluejay

each group will have a different objective

hahaha

no fun if it's not dangerous

MathTans the Pun Prince

"Your group needs to find the antidote to this love potion..."

Superjustin of Time and Space

Tru

How many lives are you gonna risk?

camillabluejay

Because they accidentally drank it, Math?

haha all of them

MathTans the Pun Prince

"Accidentally", yes, of course.

Draco Plato

as far as group stories go I think it was well done. I like that they were already together vs. having them meet each other and be beginning their friendships

RebelVampire

math look at the havoc youve caused, goodness

Draco Plato

so that we learn about them as the journey goes on but they're not just learning about each other per say

MathTans the Pun Prince

I bring the havoc! It's a skill!

Superjustin of Time and Space

yeah, Draco's got a really good point

camillabluejay

YES Draco. I adore layers of buried history in relationships

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yes, it was good to see them as a group. And with Cin as kind of the outsider character.

RebelVampire

yeah for the group setup i agree that i like the way its portrayed. where most of the others know each but we have newcomer cin who helps us be our learning eyes.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Kind of interesting that Cin's sort of the "white guy" too.

Draco Plato

yeeeees I love relationship layers

Superjustin of Time and Space

How many layers can ye handle?

Draco Plato

I can handle a lot of layers

camillabluejay

hahaha

snuffysam

Especially since that means characters can talk to Cin about their thoughts on the other group members, building more character. Like how Cel was talking to Cin about Rof.

Joichi

ehehe

Superjustin of Time and Space

@snuffysam Seconding this

MathTans the Pun Prince

I wonder how long they have been together? Was that mentioned?

Superjustin of Time and Space

gotta milk all the chances for character developing you can

snuffysam

If they all already knew each other, that wouldn't work- but since everyone knows each other except Cin, it works well

RebelVampire

oh that'd actually be kind of interesting if cin becomes like group psychologist. everyone just naturally comes and spills their problems on him. and also could lead to some interesting conflicts too. like if everyone goes to cin for problem solving, who does cin go to?

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

That sounds fun

Draco Plato

he goes to rofaryn

snuffysam

What if he has a problem with Rofaryn?

Draco Plato

can still go to him

MathTans the Pun Prince

Probably the smart guy with the blue hair.

I like that he picked up on something being wrong.

RebelVampire

OMG Rofaryn: So what seems to be the problem. Cin: You. You're the problem.

Draco Plato

well he's bonded with celyid so he could go to him

LOL

MathTans the Pun Prince

Rofaryn: I'm also the solution...

Superjustin of Time and Space

Oh you, Math

camillabluejay

I can't tell if I should actually be answering anything, or just enjoying the convo, hahaha. Math is right though, Blue-haired one is usually the one people go to with problems

Superjustin of Time and Space

Sit back and enjoy the show

camillabluejay

hahaha

MathTans the Pun Prince

(I'm bad with names, for the record. They can be very blatant, I'll still end up picking up on art things.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

I feel ya

snuffysam

Fortunately, there is a cast page

RebelVampire

http://kindredsuncomic.com/characters/

snuffysam

http://kindredsuncomic.com/characters/

jinx

Superjustin of Time and Space

dat double post

snuffysam

whoops

RebelVampire

yeah high five

we were both ready

Draco Plato

i almost posted it too

snuffysam

nah ive just had it open the whole time

because i can never remember names

camillabluejay

Oh yeah, you reminded me I need to update that for the second chp too, them drawings are oooooold

MathTans the Pun Prince

Cast what? Yeah, so that silver haired guy, he's good with weapons.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Aw ye new drawings inbound

RebelVampire

me too XD i usually have them open for ctp not necessarily cause forgetting names but wanting to be sure i spell them right

snuffysam

that too lol

almost wrote Raforyn a few minutes ago

MathTans the Pun Prince

So it's useful as a Raforence.

Superjustin of Time and Space

tru

RebelVampire

math no. no.

anyway while were on the subject of the first question still, i wanna say that i like the opening scene to this comic as well. i like that the comic upfront establishes that their fighting skills dont just magically exist out of nowhere

Superjustin of Time and Space

dat's good

snuffysam

And their specialities

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, I thought that was a good way of setting the scene/setting too before getting into the thick of the plot.

Draco Plato

i like the opening scene too

MathTans the Pun Prince

I also can't draw fight scenes, so kudos.

Draco Plato

yeah i was impressed with how it was drawn too

RebelVampire

i also liked that we got to see rofaryn be boss like. estbalish himself as the one true leader

QUESTION 2. Kindred Skies features a varied cast of characters, from the leader Rofaryn to the rambunctious Fayden. Which character did you connect with the most and why? Do you have theories about how they wound up with Rofaryn and/or why they’re a mercenary? Who else in the cast would you like to see this character interact with? Is there anything else you want to mention about them (i.e. they have a cool design, etc.)?

Superjustin of Time and Space

IS THAT ANOTHER QUESTION

On a serious note

snuffysam

love my blue explosive boy

Superjustin of Time and Space

I cannot resist blue haired characters

You put in a bunch of characters with nornal hair colors and then you give someone an anime hair color

Draco Plato

I like Rofaryn best, his design appealed to me most XD I'd like to see him more with Cin

plus the boss is most important

MathTans the Pun Prince

That's a good question! I gotta think more about that one...

camillabluejay

Blue haired boy has a MUCH bigger part in chp 2 :3

Superjustin of Time and Space

OMG

YESSSSS

MathTans the Pun Prince

I feel like maybe I relate to Celyid, just for the whole coming up with a weird plan involving trip wires and things, only to have the whole plan get torpedoed. I'm not as suave as him though.

thezachbales

I am so here for more page time for everyone's favorite blue-haired boy.

snuffysam

I also really like Cin. His fish-out-of-water dealio really works well in the story.

Superjustin of Time and Space

hell yeah \m/

camillabluejay

Zach! Hi! :3

Superjustin of Time and Space

Hi dere Zach~

thezachbales

Oh, hi all!

MathTans the Pun Prince

On the flip side, I find Fayden way too spontaneous, though of course that's part of his personality and he's played well for that.

Superjustin of Time and Space

since we're talknig about characters

Draco Plato

hiiii zach~!

Superjustin of Time and Space

...

eeh I got nothin

MathTans the Pun Prince

I really do kinda wonder what Cel's plan would have looked like if the water hadn't appeared.

Superjustin of Time and Space

was gonna sday maybe the characters could get a bit mor oomph to their designs

but that'd make them hard to draw constantly

camillabluejay

Oh, I'd like clarification on that comment, Justin Do you mean clothes or body?

RebelVampire

idk im kind of fond how they look more normal-ish. i think its a better fit for the tone of the story.(edited)

Superjustin of Time and Space

well, they seem kinda basic to me

camillabluejay

They are getting new outfits for chp 2 I'm literally in the middle of redesigning. And they're party clothes, so they are fancier...ish?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm all for that!

MathTans the Pun Prince

Suits and bow ties?

snuffysam

Their faces are different enough to distinguish, and they're different heights, so that's enough for me

MathTans the Pun Prince

"It's strangling me!"

camillabluejay

Yeah, usually I just think that they're kinda poor, and travel a lot, so they're not gonna be fancy. But I also don't want them boring

snuffysam

Looking forward to party clothes though

Superjustin of Time and Space

that's a fair reason as to why their outfits are pretty basic

mariah (rainy day dreams)

Yes good, very excited for fancy party clothes

Superjustin of Time and Space

so much fancy

MathTans the Pun Prince

I tend to distinguish characters by hair style and colour, and those are different, so I'm good. ^^ (I can be pretty shallow.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

ye

MathTans the Pun Prince

I wonder if any of the group is more superstitious than the others. The land seems to have superstitions in it.

RebelVampire

nah thats generally how i first differentiate too, math. i got by hair style and color. its the quickest until i get a better feel for other attributes

none of them felt particularly spooked and were like "this land is cursed."

what we can say for sure

is that fayden is definitely the least superstitious

climbing all over that sacred mountain O_O

Superjustin of Time and Space

dem sacred mountains

Draco Plato

i thought the clothes fit the story and who they were even if they were plain

MathTans the Pun Prince

Heh. He just does his own thing.

Sometimes people have different triggers though. Like, a person can say they're not superstitious until they're faced with a black cat or a 13th floor or something.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

MathTans the Pun Prince

"I can't wear that, bow ties are bad luck."

Superjustin of Time and Space

"bad luck"

RebelVampire

cel feels like the character id peg for being rando superstitious

tho for no reason other than he was like "eh nah just let that chick get sacrificed"

MathTans the Pun Prince

I could see that.

There was a cool analysis there, by the way, now that I'm reminded of it. The idea of there not being a "bad guy", it being a self sacrifice sort of thing. That was an interesting take.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yeah

Stores without antagonists are intresting if done right

MathTans the Pun Prince

Stories with green haired antagonists with delusions of godhood are also interesting.

What he was going to do to Raf, with the "you'll be on the cusp of drowning" that was, whoa.

Draco Plato

adrei was also an antagonist in a way

RebelVampire

i like that the story teaches us that banishing your problems away isnt always the best solution

snuffysam

It can be a mix, of course. Each town they visit has a tangible antagonist, but the overarching plot doesn't. Or something like that.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Rebel: Good point.

Superjustin of Time and Space

aah

and yeah Snuffy has a pint there

RebelVampire

i found the ending to be bittersweet because they got banished from a town. i kept screaming dick move to myself the whole time.

snuffysam

Cin got to keep the sacrificial outfit though. so you win some, you lose some

MathTans the Pun Prince

I kinda get it though, like, they did mess up the ritual, and then the sacrifice. Probably not wise to spend lots of time there.

RebelVampire

no def not wise. but still a dick move. cause i always imagine how id feel if i risked life and limb for a town and then they were like "eh but you also trespassed on our sacred mountain."

i would not be happy

not happy at all

camillabluejay

Would you say it was a dissatisfying ending, or just an unhappy ending?

snuffysam

just unhappy

Draco Plato

i didn't find it unhappy or dissatisfying

snuffysam

i mean, it wasn't satisfying for the characters

mariah (rainy day dreams)

I guess for me it seemed like kind of a wash. Yeah they got banished, but it wasn't like they were emotionally attached to the town as a whole anyway.

snuffysam

but i was cool with it

Superjustin of Time and Space

yea

Draco Plato

yeah same mariah

MathTans the Pun Prince

I was okay with it too, I mean, I guess I didn't really look at it from the perspective of the sacred mountain thing, more that this was just a stopover on the way that went a bit pear shaped.

I also tend to be somewhat emotionless. ^.^

Superjustin of Time and Space

Lol Math

RebelVampire

still sticking with bittersweet. cause im not saying technical craft wise it was either of those. i think craft wise the ending was exactly what it needed to be. just on personal reader level made me feels emotions.

MathTans the Pun Prince

(It's legit a thing with me. I idolized Spock for a while as a youth.)

snuffysam

yeah people can be dicks in stories. if it was always "here's the key to the city", it wouldn't be as good

RebelVampire

yeah and since its about mercenaries, mercenaries arent expected to get those endings anyway

RebelVampire

but still man, was so sad.

not everyday you fight a wouldbe god

Superjustin of Time and Space

^

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. The world of Kindred Skies is one where sorcerers are normal, sometimes mercenaries just do farm work for a living, and sacrificing people can be shrugged off. Amongst all this are themes about family, sacrifice for the greater good, and dealing with hardship. Which theme stuck out to you the most and why? Are there any aspects of the world you’d like to see explored further? Likewise, are there any themes you think could be possibly touched on more?

Superjustin of Time and Space

"mercenaries just do farm work for a living"

snuffysam

yeah that was far from the most outlandish thing in the story, lol

Superjustin of Time and Space

Something like this, because I like seing people use powers to do mundance things

Draco Plato

the theme of family stuck with me most, and i'd like to know more about the nature of magic within this world

snuffysam

"people who do things for pay do things for pay"

MathTans the Pun Prince

For aspects of the world, I'm kinda curious about what it takes to learn sorcery. Like, could one of the group pick up some weak skills somehow?

Joichi

I like the theme of deailing with hardship, that often stick out to me the most. Also families

snuffysam

sorcerers are supposedly rare

Superjustin of Time and Space

Families is a must

MathTans the Pun Prince

But yeah, the whole "band of people as a family" thing rings true, particularly with Cin being sort of adopted into it.

snuffysam

Yeah, family is the biggest theme

i mean everyone was kind of adopted into it

but most recently Cin

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ooh, or could one of the group be a sorcerer and not know it? But the skill gets unlocked? I dunno, I just wonder if all sorcerers are feared or freaks or something. Leading to the superstitious undertones.

It'd change the dynamic of the group if so.

camillabluejay

Are these questions for me, or just in general?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm guessing in general

MathTans the Pun Prince

Just general questions, unless you want to jump in with some remarks.

snuffysam

I mean, are you ever planning on expounding on sorcery?

RebelVampire

yes youre free to jump in

even lead us astray

camillabluejay

Eventually, but not for a long while

It is important though, maybe I should look into it

snuffysam

Well then, I can wait

so you don't need to answer that now

camillabluejay

Sorcery is very rare, because it's something that has to be unlocked inside. You can't do it on your own, another sorcerer has to teach you. And it's super illegal and looked down upon

MathTans the Pun Prince

Certainly seems tricky to kill a sorcerer. Or at least that one. I think maybe that's why I'm curious, we basically have a sample of one so far.

Superjustin of Time and Space

oooohhh

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ahh, so it is illegal, okay.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Intresting

camillabluejay

illegal as much as anything is in the desert. it's a little lawless. But they definitely don't like it

snuffysam

i imagine there isn't exactly much of a central government in the wilderness. so what's legal in this town might not be in the next one over

camillabluejay

yup

MathTans the Pun Prince

My other world wonder is the large male population. I wonder if that's just kind of always the way things have been, or if that came about due to something in the past. (Again, don't feel like you need to answer.)

Snuffy - Interesting point.

camillabluejay

Oh yeah that was answered on the patreon. Basically magical curse from their goddess hundreds of years ago

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ohhhh, magic again.

camillabluejay

There's a lot of exposition I don't want to cram into the comic that I'll pepper in here and there, but go into detail on the patreon

Yeah,it's one of the reasons they don't like magic

MathTans the Pun Prince

That makes sense, you don't want to just exposit, particularly if it's stuff the characters already know.

Superjustin of Time and Space

^

camillabluejay

But the next chp goes into themes about the mercenary families and how they work in the world, rather than themes of magic

so it'll be awhile before I'll get back to this in depth

MathTans the Pun Prince

That cool, sounds like it builds well off of Ch 1. There's no rush.

Draco Plato

oooo

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yeah, take as much time as you need

Get all the details you can in there

Joichi

I really like traditional methods where; to gain magic, you learn from a mentor or passed in family. Especially if its something dangerous, which it can be

snuffysam

I mean, looking forward to more themes of family

MathTans the Pun Prince

I'm probably not your main audience anyway, I'm a huge girls love fan.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

camillabluejay

hahaha @math, I was literally about to say if I could draw faster I have a side-story about two lesbian sorcerers that might clarify some things haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

The story is definitely intresting, though I think it has a lot of potentinal

snuffysam

i will say, i really like the boys love aspects of the comic

Joichi

lol as long as it's more of an inclusive idea than a fanservice attempt.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, it's cool that you decided to continue.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol fanservice

Joichi

I like boys love in general, I feel there's alot you can write about the relationship and keep it subtle and also as equals.(edited)

snuffysam

usually a lot of bl stuff (especially if it's written by two women) isn't that great at representation

Joichi

as I also write LGBTQ queer stuff in super subtle ways

MathTans the Pun Prince

I saw nothing blatant. There was that funny strip somewhere in the middle, granted, but that wasn't in continuity.

snuffysam

but this is well done

MathTans the Pun Prince

And it was funny.

snuffysam

yeah, besides the joke strip, nothing too fanservicey

MathTans the Pun Prince

As to the themes side of Q3, I'm not so good with recognizing themes. ^.^

Joichi

I'm super picky about romance, I'd rather like to vouch for bros with good chemistry and have different love interests but remain friends.

friendship goals!(edited)

Superjustin of Time and Space

all the friendship in the world~

RebelVampire

i can definitely say im looking forward to more themes of family. i like stories like this that are about impromtu families. i feel so many stories emphasize blood over anything else, so i find it more refreshing to have stories that illustrate heavily on how groups like this can be just as much of a family.

MathTans the Pun Prince

I imagine in a close knit group, you need to be careful about making things too romantic. Because if it goes sour, you're not able to give much space, you're still together.

Joichi

yess yes! I really agree about blood. and also alot of tragic scarred heroes I'm seeing around webcomics

snuffysam

i mean the gang might have tragic/scarred backstories

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm seconding this

snuffysam

we don't really know enough about them to say either way

Joichi

LOL

MathTans the Pun Prince

They might have scars. When their shirts are off.

Superjustin of Time and Space

well then again a lot of characters of mine don't really have tradgic backstories for the most part

or scars

but that's prolly cause i have like 100+ and counting OTL

Joichi

rofl scars building good character xD

actually it just means they didn't have medication and so it dried that way, which could be quite possible considering that your cast travels

Superjustin of Time and Space

I only got like, three characters with scars right now

Draco Plato

we know at least something happened with Cin's brother

snuffysam

depends what kind of medicine H'ran does, i suppose. maybe he's able to close up wounds without scarring

Superjustin of Time and Space

either that or the scars leave a really badass mark

Joichi

I'm still reading the comic btw, so I'm not entirely able to ask questions in case, it may sound dumb

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, that's an ongoing mystery, his brother.

RebelVampire

speaking of medicine i really want to know about h'rannith

Joichi

anyone's a trained doctor in the group?

snuffysam

yeah, H'rannith is

MathTans the Pun Prince

Joi - Don't worry about it. It's good to get perspectives partway, I haven't always read to the end before doing CTP.

snuffysam

i mean, i don't know if he went to med school

but he's the team healer regardless

MathTans the Pun Prince

He hasn't needed to do doctoring yet though.

Joichi

@Superjustin of Time and Space very true about badass marks.

snuffysam

yup, which is why i wasn't sure if his medicines left scars or not

camillabluejay

Yeah, H'ran got the short end of the stick this chp, I'll admit it. He gets more in the 2nd chp

RebelVampire

thats awesome

Joichi

ooh, that is true. like sometimes there is in-house stitching he'd have to do on the fly. Sorry I'm excited about doctor characters.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Well doctor characters are fun

RebelVampire

cause i def felt he had the least screentime in chp one. and i was like "who are you mysterious man"

MathTans the Pun Prince

"Drop your pants." "I got hit in the shoulder..." "Who's the doctor here??"

Superjustin of Time and Space

what about docs with scars

snuffysam

"He gets more in the 2nd chp" for a healer? that's not good news...

camillabluejay

lololol

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe they come across a town suffering from a plague.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Ooooooh

Joichi

i just imagine alot of wounded people having to come to him, as the healer. oh damn...

Superjustin of Time and Space

and there being no other healers around?

MathTans the Pun Prince

The healers are the first ones you kill with a plague. Everyone knows that.

snuffysam

if you think about it, H'ran should be covered in scars. or at least on his right hand, back, and face

since he can't stitch those up and there's no other healer

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe he gives really good instructions.

snuffysam

fair enough

camillabluejay

He does have scars on his hands! I just haven't done close ups of them yet :3

MathTans the Pun Prince

(For some reason I'm reminded of "Spock's Brain" where Spock's giving McCoy advice on brain surgery...)

Superjustin of Time and Space

Oooohhh!!

RebelVampire

oh thats interesting to know he does have scars on his hands. nice detail touch

snuffysam

well there you go then

manny melancholy

have you decided where the scars will be or how they will look like? It sounds like it will be tricky

snuffysam

called it

MathTans the Pun Prince

Good call.

Superjustin of Time and Space

yeah

camillabluejay

And tbf, if H'rannith gets hurt, Khehaic has a steady hand, he'd probably step in

Superjustin of Time and Space

Aw yeah~

camillabluejay

and @manny, yeah we know where the scars are, most are just under clothes. Drawing them everytime would be a pain

MathTans the Pun Prince

"It's fine, I got these explosives here..."

RebelVampire

makes sense tho. Khehaic seems pretty capable in general. like of the group hes the one i feel would be safest entrusting important things to.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Agreed @camillabluejay

snuffysam

@MathTans the Pun Prince that's one way to amputate a limb, i guess

camillabluejay

@math gotta cauterize the wounds first, dontcha know

Joichi

haha I love this scar talk, makes me think about character scars

MathTans the Pun Prince

incites Havoc again

camillabluejay

And yes, Margot and I joke the whole team would fall apart without Khe haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

Well scars are fun

just throwing another character of mine here with a scarf

it's supposed to be shaped like a shark tooth

(on his left cheek)

Joichi

ohh i see it

camillabluejay

Aw, him and Ro are scar buds

Margot

work slowed down, so now I can hop in for a few minutes! and yes, Khehaic is the glue-iest

Superjustin of Time and Space

Hello~

all the scar buds in the world

Joichi

Hi there

Margot

hey there! great to see so many familiar names

Superjustin of Time and Space

likewise!

RebelVampire

@Superjustin of Time and Space I'm glad you're passionate about your characters but please try to keep sharing to a minimum since we're tlaking about a diff comic. ^^;

QUESTION 4. In the background of the first chapter is a hidden conflict about Cin looking for his brother, Seti. Though the tension this causes between Rofaryn and Cin is addressed within the first chapter, numerous questions about Seti are left. Do you have any theories about why Seti is missing? Do you think the group will be able to find Seti or will they just find trouble? Is it possible Cin or someone else is hiding a secret about Seti? Is there a larger conflict going on than we realize?

snuffysam

we haven't had any outlandish theories yet

Seti was abducted by aliens

he's named after SETI, which is the clue

camillabluejay

lolol

Superjustin of Time and Space

is it even possible to have theroies about webcomics/

MathTans the Pun Prince

Have you met me?

Superjustin of Time and Space

If that aliens thing becomes true I'll be impressed

Oh you

Draco Plato

lol of course you can have theories about webcomics XD

snuffysam

all seriousness, i'm guessing he was kidnapped by wilderness bandits or something?

MathTans the Pun Prince

Cin's last name is Alpha. They're actually looking for Alpha Seti, it's in a whole other galaxy. Hence the aliens late in Chapter 2.

Draco Plato

LOL

well could be

RebelVampire

maybe or maybe seti just ran off. got married. was like man this is great. no bro no weirdo mercenaries.

snuffysam

got married and didn't tell his brother?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm prolly gonna focus on main chat for now, see ya all around!

manny melancholy

if they are looking for Seti then does that mean he might be kidnapped? maybe he went somewhere and just never came back for what ever reason we need answers @Margot

MathTans the Pun Prince

In all seriousness though, I wonder if maybe Seti ran off to protect the others. Like, he made a bad deal or something, and went into hiding to protect them, and when they find him he'll be all worried.

Others of his family that is.

camillabluejay

hahaha @many, we're not supposed to be answering

Joichi

@Superjustin of Time and Space alright see you in main chat

camillabluejay

it's our seekrit

thezachbales

Is there a butler wherever they're going where they'll be wearing party clothes? If so, I HAVE A HUNCH of who made him disappear.

Margot

hahaha oh no @manny realized i'm the weak link in the secrecy chain

Superjustin of Time and Space

cya Joi

RebelVampire

see ya justin thanks for coming~!

Margot

bye Justin!

camillabluejay

bye Justin! thanks for chatting

Margot

thanks for reading and chatting :3

camillabluejay

@Zach, I could ADD a butler, just for you

Joichi

Since i'm not far in the comic, I'll be back later.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Like, what reason would anyone have to sort of run off? I guess it could be kidnapping, but you'd think there'd be more people missing than just Seti then.

snuffysam

I mean, if he was alone when he got kidnapped, it's not so weird

Superjustin of Time and Space

np Rebel, Margot, and Camilla~

thanks for having me stick around~

snuffysam

maybe Seti and Cin had a falling-out that Cin isn't telling the gang about

MathTans the Pun Prince

That could be, hmmm.

RebelVampire

or maybe cin doesnt know either

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe they're not really brothers?

RebelVampire

cause sometimes you can make ppl angry and not realize if said person never says anything

MathTans the Pun Prince

As to finding Seti, I feel like that'll only happen once Cin is really vibing with the group, or maybe one of them in particular. Which creates the question of whether he'd stay with them or not. Or maybe Seti would join the group, but mess up the dynamic? I wonder.

camillabluejay

>:)

RebelVampire

oh thatd be interesting and not something id expect. cause my expectations are that seti is like last conflict. but if they find seti soon and then it mucks up the dynamic, that definitely yields interesting possibilities

especially if cin is with them for a while

snuffysam

Finding Seti will create drama regardless of what specifically happens. it's a bit of a lose-lose situation

RebelVampire

cause then you can have arguments between rofaryn and seti about who knows cin better

snuffysam

Cin leaves the group? drama. Cin decides to stay with the group and leave Seti? drama. Seti joins the group? drama.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe Seti's a sorcerer now, and they're all "we're not having no sorcerer in our group!". But he's trying to be a good sorcerer.

Cin gets Seti's blessing to marry Cel? Drama.

RebelVampire

or seti goes all darth vader and is like cin, come to the dark side. look at my cool magic.

MathTans the Pun Prince

"You're not my father!" "No, I'm your brother." "Oh yeah."

Maybe they find someone who's pretending to be Seti. Like, how much time has passed since Cin's seen him? Would he still be recognizable?

snuffysam

or maybe Seti will be in disguise at some point? like, he's trying to start a new life as a masked vigilante and/or villain

MathTans the Pun Prince

Beards can really change one's appearance.

It does feel like one of the main arcing ideas of the comic though. If they do find Seti, there would need to be a new big arcing plot, in my mind.

snuffysam

that's what the drama is for(edited)

MathTans the Pun Prince

But like, Seti would have some new quest for them. Or something. Maybe.

I dunno.

RebelVampire

that is a good point that maybe cin might not recognize him if enough time passes.

idk why but the idea of "Seti's quest" made me laugh

a weird word combo for me

MathTans the Pun Prince

bows

camillabluejay

Yeah, one of the frustrating parts of webcomics for me, is I really want to write it like a tv show. So we're technically starting ep 2 of season 1. And Seti would be the first season arc. But I can't draw that fast, so we'll see. haha

MathTans the Pun Prince

I know that feeling. No one can draw at the speed of thought. ^^

camillabluejay

Yeah XD If I had all the monies, it would be an animated show, OR I would hire a different artist for every 'episode'

RebelVampire

yeah speed of webcomics can be a real downer for sure. D:

MathTans the Pun Prince

I wonder about the hobbies of mercenaries now. If any of them's into art, or if it's mostly about survival.

RebelVampire

but gotta keep trucking and the comic is doing a good job so far~!

camillabluejay

yeah this whole first chp shoulda been like one 20 min episode haha

instead of a year's comic pages

MathTans the Pun Prince

They find Seti, and he wants to draw a comic of their adventures. Very meta.

RebelVampire

thatd be cute. to see them stop by the side of the road for some rest and someone is like "cin what are you doing?" and cin jsut stares and is like "painting"

camillabluejay

Oh, I don't seeharm in answering that! Khehaic does metal work, makes weird jewelry. Ro whittles

They also all play music and dance together, or play cards

MathTans the Pun Prince

Oh, neat! Hadn't thought of whittling. Can make tools that way.

Margot

fayden likes cooking

MathTans the Pun Prince

pictures Rofaryn with a banjo

RebelVampire

i wanna see some of this weird jewelry because that sounds awesome

MathTans the Pun Prince

Just had another quick look at the site. I notice mention of drugrunners. Maybe that's another place where a medic would be useful.

Margot

....If Ro were in modern day, he'd play some mean guitar, just sayin''

thezachbales

I'm going to need a whole arc about Fayden cooking.

camillabluejay

lolol

RebelVampire

its gonna be the filler ep where fayden has a cooking show to see if its a worthwhile spin off franchise

MathTans the Pun Prince

Gotta get the spices just right.

"Irony Chef"

Margot

there's a fayden & h'rannith cooking themed story in the works for patreon, actually haha

thezachbales

BLESSED

camillabluejay

Bc H'ran is terrible at cooking. Just....terrible.

RebelVampire

AHA. learned something about h'ran. terrible at cooking.

MathTans the Pun Prince

You definitely know your characters! All the best with your continued efforts.

camillabluejay

yeah, there's just a lot of them, and trying to make them all shine the best we can is our goal

since it's wrapping up soon, do you guys have any advice for us?

Now that we're starting up chp 2

any mistakes you see us continually make, or things we could do better

MathTans the Pun Prince

scratches head Keep at it? I dunno, I'm not great with advice.

camillabluejay

ch 2 will be the next year of our lives, might as well be the best it could be

Margot

can i just say, as an ending note... i don't know who made the 'ro-ference pun'... you're the worst... and i love you

camillabluejay

lololol

MathTans the Pun Prince

I didn't see any major mistakes, but I'm not always observant.

RebelVampire

id say just more time with two on two or small group. because admittedly i found it to be somewhat hard to get to know all the characters. which isnt surprising either cause group size

camillabluejay

@Margot did you see they want the Y'linstra/Tori lesbian sorcerer side-story? We better get on it.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, and the cutaway at a cliffhangery time worked well I thought. Good pacing.

camillabluejay

Yeah, we realized that too, @RebelVampire

even just drawing them on every page was rough

Margot

dropping chapter 2 immediately, @camillabluejay sorcerer lesbians is go

camillabluejay

thank you guys!

No, BOTH

Margot

you're all the best!! my heart is melty

camillabluejay

ALL THE STORIES

[survivorneworleans-blog]

hi, i'm gonna be honest I didn't read all of the opening speeches bc ive been working all weekend and I'm v tired and the white text against the black background hurts my eyes but anyways. here are some questions.

1. this is just out of curiosity - why was I the target the round I went home? I honestly didn't think I did much that warranted being voted out, bc I was mostly just voting w the majority and other than a few alliances near the beginning I was kind coasting due to being busy w my new job. it just didn't make sense to me, strategically. so why do you think I was the target (if you weren't targeting me) and why did you target me (if you were).

2. this one is for Andrew specifically. tell me about your alliance with brian before he was voted out. I know you were aligned w him in some way, and I wanna know the details on exactly what went down and whether or not you were someone who voted for him to stay or to go. he is my loved one in this game after all.

3. why should someone who maybe hasn't been super invested in the game vote for you? someone who doesn't know the details of every single tribal council, someone who barely knew who was or wasn't in the game, someone who just got too distracted to pay attention once they were voted out? why should that person vote for you, when as far as they know, everything you've said about what happened in the game could be false?

4. give a genuine compliment to every juror and the hosts too. no one word answers, nothing fake or generic, a genuine compliment.

5. nick, how much of our alliance together was true? I really did want to work with you, and according to your jury speech you wanted me to stay that round, but was it just for that round? or did you actually want to work with me on a real level and not "i'll keep her around because she could help me later"?

anyways, congrats to both of you. its not easy getting to ftc, so no matter who wins, be proud of yourself and all that stuff. good luck!

Nick:

1. I literally have no fucking reason why you were the target to leave in all honesty. I wasn't targetting you that round, in fact I was probably the only one campaigning actively for you to stay. I felt like you were only the target because of Ashley Sarah and her influence in the season. I guess she and some of her allies felt you were expendable or that you didn't provide any substance to their game. I am not really sure, I only heard your name out of one mouth so I was kind of in awe when you were in fact the target and person leaving that round. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3. The facts are, as I also mentioned in my answer to Colin, that I won two individual immunities, was transffered an idol from Colin based of persuasion, found a legacy advantage that I kept incognito, I flushed Dom's super idol by work with two people I had little to no connections with, negated at total of 8/12 votes I received this season, and was able to make it to the finale despite so many people wanting me out along the way. All of these are facts and 100% real reasons to vote for me over Andrew.

4. Zakriah: We talked a bit this season and I felt like you and I could have worked together going into merge, but after I learned that you had some drama with other castaways it was going to be hard for us to get close. You were really nice to me in PMs and I dont know what you did to anger people in other ORGs, but I am glad I didn't have to find out this season. Thanks for playing, hopefully we can get to know each other more ex post facto.0 Daisy: After the messiness that was Switz I was looking forward to having a chance to work with you and mend the bridge. I genuinly think you are a very sweet girl and very fun to be around. I have no idea why you left when you did nor what you did to piss off so many people, but in my books you were robbed.   Chris: So much love for you dude. I was so looking forward to working with you this season. After all the mess of other games we were in I felt like this was going to be our time to make it far together... I was upset that you kinda gave up after Liana was voted off. I really wished you stayed in further but it was too impossible to flip that many votes in the second merge vote without raising too much alarm. Ryan: I haven't met you up until this season but I did enjoy our chats and I felt like I probably could have worked with you further in the game. You give off the vibe that you are very smart and methodical which is a really good trait IMO! Hope there are no hard feelings because I'd love to talk after the season and maybe if we are ever in a game together you can idol me out instead! Nicholas: I was ecstatic when I saw you got cast for this season. You were super fun to host in Atomic and I felt like you and I would jive well. It was good getting to know you and have casual convo with and I wish that we could have worked more closely together this season. Dont fuck me over in FF! Ashley Sarah: Coming from Switzerland with you into here I wasn't really sure how'd we work together. You were somebody I really wanted to have a second chance working with because I feel like you are loyal to the people you are with. I felt like you are very smart and socialize well with others. I am glad I had another opportunity to play a game with you. Ruthie: QUEEN. You are literally one of my favorite people to play games with. You are beyond sweet and they way you hold yourself is very motherly and repected. You are so fun with to be in games with and I wish I stayed longer in festive to work with you to the end. Dom: I love you so much bitch. You are on of the only reasons I am still on skype lets be real. Without you i'd be so fucking bored this entire summer. You are one of my best friends ever. You are literally so funny and messy. Sorry for fucking you over. Colin: I didn't really know you too much tbqh leading up to this. We had mutual friends and I always felt like we would get along. I am glad for the experience, you made this game exciting and talking to you was great. I feel like you are my friend now. Kait (even if she isn't in jury): Even though you fucking hate me for some reason, I respect your moxy. You won two immunities which is kinda cool I guess. Nicole: I wasn't sure what terms we have been on since Me*n Girls BB, but I was so glad to have a chance to be cast and hosted by you this season. You were on top of a lot of your shit and you set down the law of the land. You stood up for your season and I have so much respect in that as a fellow host. You are now truly one of the most iconic women I know in this community. Me @ Nicole: https://youtu.be/WMgZ5fFae1s?t=111 Ian: Even though you were kind of a ghost on the hosting team. You are really iconic IMO. You were one of my favorite people to talk to in Switzerland and I worked so hard to make sure you stayed in that first merge vote because I enjoyed talking to you so much. If you had any say casting me this season, thanks :) Luke: Fuck you! Jk you are super funny and one of my favs in the community. You are so sweet to Lagoon and you are one of my favs in festive. Sorry for IHOS that was a mess lmao. We aight now tho ;)

5. I did want to work with you a lot. I am not really sure how long it would have lasted tbqh. I knew I for sure wanted to work Dom, Colin, and Ruthie. But I also felt like you and Chris could have benefited me a lot, more than people like Ryan, Andrew, or Kait. I did want to work with you for a couple more rounds, but I dont think I would have put my entire game to save you if that's what you mean.

Andrew:

You were the target the first round basically out of a process of elimination thing. Kait and I had aligned with 6 other people at the merge and the only 2 people we really weren’t with were you and Chips. So we figured we could try and take you and Chips out back to back, which is actually what ended up happening. Chips just wasn’t active at all, so we figured we could take out the person that was more threatening of you 2, and I know while you said you also weren’t super active, you were at the end of the day more active than Chips.

Brian and I had a side deal going on where we would definitely have each other’s backs, and I wanted Kait as my loved one to get in good with him too because I wanted to see if you and Brian would be able to link up with Kait and I at a swap and/or merge. To be entirely honest, if Brian hadn’t gone I would have absolutely wanted to be a group with you and him along with Kait. That’s what we did with Ruthie and Ashley since they were the last duo along with Kait and I, so we would have been open to being with you and Brian too. I am sorry that it did go down that way. But yeah, Brian and I definitely had a “have each other’s backs” mentality that I really would have wanted to stick with that he not gone. We hadn’t talked in a while since our last game together, and I think he seemed genuine about wanting to work with me like I was with him.

I think that if someone is concerned about things being said by final tribal participants as false, then it could help to look at the basis of the gameplay. For me, that was my connections. I wanted to have enough so that I could continue advancing. I wanted people to trust me, and I wanted everyone to think that I was there to be their vote. I wanted to give strategic reason for them to not vote me out not because I was a goat but because I could be a benefit to their games. This was definitely shown by Nick wanting to use Kait and I later on for the Super Idol flush, and Dom and Colin linking up with Kait and I late game to try getting to the end, especially when Ruthie and Ashley had fallen through for me. With this strategy, I am happy to say that it got me to the end, and that I got to the end on my own terms that I wanted. Like I’ve stated in earlier answers because the topic of “success” continues to get thrown around - just because some moves aren’t successful doesn’t mean you weren’t playing. I believe I was playing from start to finish. I continued to cultivate relationships and work with what I had. I gave reason for people to keep me because it could benefit them. I worked through each and every alliance I was a part of until I ended up being at the end of this game where I could plead to you guys and try to convince you why I should win. That’s why I think someone who wasn’t super invested in this game should vote for me.

• Zakriah: You’re a bad bitch and you know you’re a bad bitch which is something I respect a lot, and I think you honestly just know what you’re about. Kinda goes back to the Hali thing in Dom’s answer • Daisy: You genuinely fight for what you believe in even if people are dicks and are being immature about it. You won’t take their shit because their shit isn’t worth it and you believe in what you believe whole-heartedly • Chips: I dunno how to really describe it other than “small bean” but you’ve always just been a sweet person to everyone since I met you like, a year and a half ago. You seem like you make an effort to really be nice to people and that’s something I appreciate a lot • Ryan: I know we didn’t really get to talk much but you already came across as immediately funny and someone with the same sense of humor as me. I mean you used a RPDR gif to drag me so I’m already super into it • Nicholas: Funny as fuck like, when I first met you it was just back and forth jokes and memes and that’s something I really base on making friends quickly around here tbh. Just make me laugh and have a genuinely good time • Ashley: Someone else I didn’t get to talk to a ton aside from strategy but, you seemed like a real person who wasn’t really about any of the fake shit. Which sounds like it could necessarily not be a HUGE compliment but when you look at this community, those people can be hard to come by sometimes and I hope we get to actually play again because tbh that’d be fun to see more of • Ruthie: Honestly probably the sweetest person I’ve met in this community. I really don’t think you have a mean bone in your body and it looks like you really try to find the good in everyone, which is something this community doesn’t really do so it’s a refreshing thing to see • Dom: I know the 2 of us have really only had a handful of small experiences with each other and nothing huge, but with that being said I feel like you’re really quick to being friendly and personable. This especially goes back to BB Sinnoh where we seemed to immediately click and that’s something nice to see around here when a lot of people can be fake • Colin: Since I’ve known you there just seems like there’s something about you that would be really unassuming and sweet (NOT THAT YOU AREN’T SWEET) but then you can end up being cutthroat as fuck in these games and you really show you’re a strong person, but still also a genuine person who isn’t fake as shit
