#like he got an hoh letter from her!

[anxiously-kk]

no i truly don’t think i’ve processed how clinically of unsound mind it is that production is spinning a romance for the ages based on a guy who thought a pile of q-tips on a public counter should remain untouched and a girl who knew him for maybe two weeks and gave him an awww in response to him saying he had a crush on her.

Thank you all for enjoying my story and see you all in the next one! [Masterlist] [HoH masterlist]

Normally you would love to be proven right. Revel in the knowledge that they should have listened to you. But now? Fuck being right. You don't want to right. 

You've been carrying the letter with you for a couple of days and the weight of it makes your schoolbag makes it feel like it's filled with bricks. The letter is weighing you down, and everybody around you seems to notice it. Especially Mattheo. You still hang out with him, of course, but every time the words are on the tip of your tongue, you chicken out.

"Have you told him yet?", asks Susan as she sees you reading the letter again during lunch.

Giving her a frowned look, you shake your head. How in Merlin's name can you inform him that 'hey, my parents want to meet you because Meemaw saw us sneak into my dorm. Now they think we are together and having sex and want to meet the hypothetical father of my hypothetical baby if we were actually having hypothetical sex and not being careful. All hypothetically of course. Why else would I sneak a boy into my dorm?' 

Not casually at least. 

You look over towards his table and meet his eyes. He motions with his head towards the door. You nod with a small smile and finish your juice. "See you in class."

"Have fun with your boyfriend!", she calls after you and you flip her off. 

"What was all that about?", asks Mattheo with a small smile while the two of you walk side by side towards Herbology. 

You shrug, scratching the nailbed of your thumb. You feel a sharp pain but you continue. You know now more than ever that this is the time. "I've... I've received a letter. From my parents." You fish the letter out of your bag and hold it out for him.

Mattheo stops and looks unsurely towards the folded-up paper. When you give him a nod he unfolds the letter. You watch nervously how his eyes scan over the words.

When he stays silent, you begin to panic. "We- you don't have to! I can totally write my parents back and tell them... something! That we broke up or whatever."

"You've got nieces?" He's got a soft smile on his face as he traces the embellishments of the letter. Of course, the stationery of House Hufflepuff has its letters decorated to match the vibe of the family name.

With a shake of your head, you run a hand over your hair. "Out of everything... the thing you focus on is my nieces? Not that fact that my parents want to meet you?"

Mattheo shrugs, handing you the letter back. "Yeah, so what? That's what boyfriends do, don't they? Meet their girlfriend's parents. Fake relationship or not. Wasn't it your parents you wanted to fool?"

That shuts you up and a flaring heat spreads over your face and neck, even towards the points of your ears. "I-I yeah... But I never imagined them doing this! Then I would have never done all this to you!" With a guilty look, you slowly reach for one of his hands. You rub slow circles over the back of his hand.

Mattheo's brain short circuits as his eyes focus on your hand and his. How soft the pad of your thumb feels against his skin. He wonders if your hands feel as soft on different parts of his body. Or how sharp your nails feel when you scratch his back.

He snaps out of it and shakes his head. Taking his chance, he turns his hand around and laces his fingers with yours. "So... how do I leave a good impression on your parents?"

You think for a moment, looking away. "As superficial as it sounds, they put great value in looking a certain way." In that way they're just like other pure-blood families, you want to add but don't. You don't want to offend him or his family.

With a determent nod, Mattheo starts walking the opposite way you were going, pulling you behind him.

"Where are you taking me? Divination is that way", you point over your shoulder as you catch up to him.

Mattheo gives you a daring smile, his eyes wrinkling playfully. "My dorm. I need your advice on what to wear."

You protest and sputter about your attendance all the way towards the Slytherin dungeons. A snake made of metal rises from the ground and reveals a set of double doors. "Pure-Blood", says Mattheo and the doors swing open. You give him a look and he shrugs. "It's the password. Nothing I can do about it."

"I said nothing!", you laugh, being pulled through the entrance

The common area looks like it's carved out of rock, with marble pillars and arches. Large windows give you a look into the endless depth of the Black Lake, fish swimming by. It takes your breath away how stunning the Slytherin common room looks. It's oh so different from your own, but just as beautiful.

You try to ignore the stares you get from the Slytherin's around the room. You do stand out like a sore thumb with your sunshine yellow robes.

"Don't you ever need to pee very much when you are in the common area?", you ask, motioning towards the waterfall you circle as you enter the common room and the many water features around.

Mattheo rolls his eyes with a smile as he leads you down a corridor and holds open the door for you to enter his dorm. Four four-poster beds with green drapes are arranged in a circle with a heater in the middle of the room, spreading warmth around the room. He motions for you to sit on his bed while he rummages through his closet.

You lean back on your hands as you watch him pull one after the other crumbled-up shirt and pants out of the closet. He sends you a slightly embarrassed look and you hop off his bed.

"Let me have a look", you say softly, pushing him to the side.

"I'm sorry... It's a bit of a mess." He scratches the back of his neck as a slight blush colours his cheeks. 

You wave his worries away as you spot a nice pair of jeans and a not-too-crumpled black shirt. It could totally work paired with a dark green jacket. You lay out the pieces on his bed and look proudly between the outfit and Mattheo. It's something you're parents would approve of while still being himself

"If you wear this with the shirt tucked in and your hair just styled like you always do, everything will be okay." You turn towards him with a smile. 

While you were arranging the clothes, Mattheo snuck closer to you. He now stands so close to you, that you can smell his cologne. Your lips part as you look up at him. "Matt?", you whisper as he slowly cradles your face with both of his hands.

His eyes flicker from your eyes towards your mouth. Your eyes flutter closed as you feel soft puffs of breath on your face.

Mere millimetres before his lips touch yours, the door swings open and the two of you jump away from each other. "God fucking damn it", you hear him grumble under his breath as Enzo and Draco stand in the doorway.

The two boys look at you with wide eyes before Draco's expression morphs into something more teasing. "I hope we didn't interrupt anything", he says slyly, sending a smirk towards Mattheo. Who gives the blond a scalding glare.

Feeling way too awkward about the situation, you quickly gather your things. "I-I have to go. I wouldn't want to be late for my next class." Giving Mattheo a shy smile, you rush out of his dorm and the Slytherin common room — almost stumbling down and then up the stairs. 

Once you deem yourself far away enough, you slump against a wall and cup your scorching hot cheeks. Your heart beats wildly in your chest... and somewhere else. Did that really just happen? Or almost? In Merlin's name, when did you get so hot and bothered about Mattheo Riddle? Not long ago he was a nuisance to you. And now? Now you've almost kissed two times and he's meeting your parents this weekend.

When you close your eyes you still see Mattheo's warm honey ones, looking at you with such softness and want- no need. 

Gods.

Shaking your head, you steady yourself and with slightly unsteady legs you walk towards Arithmancy.

Meanwhile, back in the boy's dorm, Mattheo collapses onto his bed and curses out his friends. "Fucking twats!" He presses the balls of his hands into his eyes, frustration running rampant through his body. 

This was the second time someone interrupted him trying to kiss you. Just when he has gathered the courage to do so. First your friends and now his own. Who out there has it so out for him to cockblock him two times.

Draco and Enzo just look with high amusement towards their frustrated-to-no-end friend. They're gonna take this moment and tease him forever with it.

You don't get a chance to talk to Mattheo about the kiss. To talk to him in general. Because every time the two of you spot each other, either his or your friends wisk you away and it's driving you mad. It's like they planned it together or something.

It makes you all sulky because you want to discuss what happened between the two of you multiple times. You want answers — which you are lowkey scared of. But it's better to rip the bandage off quickly and get your heart broken than live with questions and never get an answer.

You walk into the Great Hall that Saturday, your fingers anxiously clawing at the nailbeds. But you've taken precautions and bandaged up your thumbs so you can't scratch. The pain stays but there's no blood.

"Don't you look all lovely", smiles Hanah brightly, making you twirl. 

You smile and show her a cheeky leg as the split in your skirt falls perfectly when you sit. "Well...", you let out a nervous sigh, "Matt's meeting my parents today. So, we have to look the part, don't we?"

Your friends' eyes bulge out at the nickname you gave Slytherin bad boy Mattheo Riddle. Nobody ever dared to call him anything other than his name. 

"Is that why he was not-so-subtly sneaking glances at us before you came?", wonders Susan out loud, which makes you tense up.

Looking at the Slytherin table, you find Mattheo easily. He gives a small wave with a smile and you return the gestures. "I'm going to sit over there. I have to prepare him from the wolves."

Slowly, you rise from your table and walk to the other side of the Great Hall. You feel the eyes of the Hufflepuff's and Slytherin's on you. But the only important ones are Mattheo's liquid honey ones, who look at you in wonder.

"Hi", you whisper when you finally reach him.

"Hi", he whispers back, a wide smile on his face.

"Can I sit with you?"

Without hesitation, he nods and slides to the side, almost shoving Enzo into Blaise's lap. He pats the now-empty spot next to him and you swing your leg over the bench. Mattheo zero's in on your bare leg and his brain shortcircuits.

You try to ignore the weird looks the Slytherin's present are giving you as you reach over and grab a piece of toast. You meet Hannah and Susan's eyes from across the room and they give you enthusiastic thumbs-up.

Swallowing your bite, you turn towards the boy next to you to say something. But your words die on your tongue at the look Mattheo gives you. It's unreadable. But not bad unreadable. There is some fondness in there you believe. "I have to warn you, by the way."

He cocks his head to the side, an easy smile on his face. "For your parents?"

A snort escapes you and you shake your head. "No- well... maybe my dad will grill you. But my brothers are way worse. They will either try to embarrass me or you."

"How many do you have?"

"Brothers? Four. There's a twin pair in there too. They are the second youngest after me."

Mattheo pales slightly. Four brothers? He found Thomas already trouble enough. But Four? He knows he's in for some shit.

You can't help but laugh as he visibly pales. Taking his hand, you pat it. You look around the Slyherin's. They all look very amused at Mattheo's despair.

The two of you finish your breakfast before it's time to go. Your parents expect you for lunch but knowing your family, there's not going to be time during just lunch. 

"How are we getting to your home?", questions Mattheo as you both walk through the halls towards Professor Sproud's office. 

You knock on the door and when there's no answer, you enter the room. "Via portkey. Which should arrive any second now." And like you said, a little yellow cup appears on the desk. 

Placing a hand on the cup, you hold the other out for him to take. Mattheo does so and the two of you are whisked away from the castle.

You stumble for a second before you find your footing. Taking a deep breath, your senses fill with the floral aroma of your home. It feels good to be back.

"Holy fucking shit", you hear Mattheo whisper under his breath as he looks at the estate your family owns. It looks centuries old, with ivy covering most of the outer walls. A sprawling garden buzzes with bees and butterflies. A fountain is heard somewhere in the back.

You feel slightly embarrassed at Mattheo's slack jaw. This is mostly the reason why you never told about or took anyone home. The house mansion has been in your family's name for centuries. It's said that Meemaw bought it, but there's no proof of it.

"Come on." You tug him by his hand towards the front door. Mattheo's too caught up by the exterior of the house that he bumps into you when you stop in front of the front door. "Ready?", you ask, and he shakes his head.

As you ring the bell, Mattheo looks at the inscribing above the door. "Dum spiro spero, vi et animo. What does that mean?"

"As long as I breathe I hope, with strength and courage", says your father as he opens the door with a wide smile. "It's our family's motto. Nice to meet you, son." He holds out his hand for Mattheo to shake.

As he pulls the boy inside, you try your bestest to not cringe. "Dad this is Mattheo. My boyfriend." You shyly glance towards Mattheo to gauge his reaction. A slight blush paints his cheeks and you bite your lip hiding your smile.

Your dad shakes the dark-haired boy's hand enthusiastically. He starts to ramble off about the family motto and what it means and it morphs into an in-depth history lesson about the house. How the tiles and pillars in the foyer are at least four hundred years old and how they're kept in such fine condition by magic.

"Dad!", you call out, not having missed the hidden panicked looks Mattheo has given you, trying his best to look interested. "Don't you think it's a little early for Staghill History 101? Let the boy breathe."

Your father lets go of Mattheo with a jolly laugh, his moustache curling upwards. "You are right. I am so sorry, good chap. Why don't you two go to the library while I round up the twins? They're all very excited to meet him."

Tugging on Mattheo's hand, you nod. "Sure. Make sure they clean off any dirt before Mum has an aneurysm. Again."

As you lead him towards the south wing, you stop just outside of the library. "Are you okay? I'm sorry. My dad's a lot and he's just happy to see anyone and everyone. Could be Father Christmas with how jolly he is." You scratch the back of your neck awkwardly, looking away.

Mattheo laughs. "It's okay. He's... nice. Now I get where you get it from."

"What?", you question with a cock of your head.

Mattheo wets his bottom lip, his eyes focused on yours. "That twinkle in your eyes when you talk about something you're passionate about." He reaches out for your flaming hot cheeks, cupping them.

The doors to your right swing open and the two of you feel like little children caught with your hand in the cookie jar. Your oldest brother, Felix, raises one disapproving brow and the two of you quickly step away from each other.

"Is it them? Don't hog the door, you big oaf!" Behind Felix appears Herbert, immediately engulfing you in a big, bone-crushing hug. 

"They were snogging", says Felix, walking back towards the couch he always sits on when he visits home. His comment earns him a swat from his wife next to him.

"We were not!", you protest scandalised, wrestling out of Herbert's hold. "We were just... It's none of your business what we were doing!" You grab Mattheo's hand and walk into the library, towards your mother.

He scoffs under his breath, mumbling; "You made it everybody's business when you let Meemaw catch you." That earns him another swat from his wife and a stern look from your mother. 

"Mum", you say after giving her a hug, tugging Mattheo closer, "I would like you to meet Mattheo."

"It's very nice to meet you, ma'am." Mattheo puts on his most charming smile while holding out his hand. 

Your mother shakes her head and gives him one of her signature warm hugs. "None of that! Call me Clementine. Or Clemmy. Or Ma. You're practically family now!"

You blanch, shrinking into yourself. Dear Lord. Why does your mom need to be so much?

Felix snorts. "Is he to stay? What happened to that bloke from Christmas?"

Yours and Mattheo's eyes meet and you purse your lips. "I rather not speak about it..."

That gets their attention, both men leaning forward in their seats. "What did he do?"

"Nothing!" You grow irritated at their endless questions as your mom ushers the two of you towards a couch. Sitting closely together, Mattheo lays a hand on your knee. You don't know if it's to comfort you or to ground himself.

Herbert studies the two of you with his eyes narrowed. He purses his lips while leaning back into the chair. "He beat the ex up, didn't he?"

"Oh, my Gods! Can you not play detective about my life? Stop talking about my ex with my new boyfriend right next to me", you scowl, not wanting the two of them to flip out over something that you're way past.

At that, your mother claps in her hands. "That's right! Mattheo, why don't you tell me something about yourself? What house are you in for instance?"

Mattheo glances nervously towards you and you lay a hand over his own, giving him a reassuring squeeze. "I'm in Slytherin, ma'am. I hope that isn't an issue."

Your mom chortles and waves his concern away. "Oh please, we aren't that kind of family."

"Speaking of family", pipes Herbert from across the room, "Who's family you belong to?"

Both your mom and you sputter and scold Herbert. But the twins coming in gives your brother his answer.

 "Why on Meemaw's good name is Mattheo Riddle sitting next to our sister?", sneers Victor, Danny leering over his shoulder.

A groan escapes you while you slink down the couch, hiding your face in your hands. You had hoped that Mattheo's family wouldn't be a subject. The twins are the only ones from your family who have seen the kind of nuisance Mattheo has been to you before leaving school last year. Of course, it looks very fucking weird that he is now cosying up to you, his hand on your knee and claiming to be your boyfriend.

You feel everybody's eyes on the two of you. Mattheo shrinks down under the many gazes, his hold on you tightening in a silent plea to not abandon him right now.

Not knowing how to get away under the scrutiny, you glance at your mom. She looks shocked and when she meets your eyes, her gaze softens before turning stern. "Didn't I always tell you boys to not judge people? What can the poor boy do about which cradle he was born into? So get off your high horses and be nice to the boy!" She stands with her hands on her hips, berating your brothers.

"What did I miss?", asks your father, standing in the doorway with a tray filled with cookies and teacups, the teapot floating behind him.

"Nothing", smiles your mother, turning towards you, "I was just saying that Mattheo should have a tour of the house. Why don't you do that, honey?"

Getting what she's implying, you nod exuberantly. "Yeah, right! Let's go." 

Mattheo's all too happy to escape the tense room and quickly follows after you, walking with a big arch around the twins, who are still glaring at him.

"I am so sorry." You cast your eyes towards the floor as the two of you walk through one of the many art-lined hallways. "I- There is no excuse for how they treated you..."

Mattheo's hand on your waist makes you stop and look up at him, unsheathed tears dancing in your waterline. He tuts, wiping away the single one that has managed to escape. "Don't cry, pretty girl. It's a warranted reaction. I'm used to it by now. How awkward it was anyways."

You pout while leaning into his hand. "That's horrible Matt. You don't deserve to be treated like that because your father made a wrong choice!"

"It was more than a wrong choice, lovely. Besides, there's not a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin, remember?" He laughs, but you see that there's sadness in his eyes.

With a shake of your head, you lean closer to him. "You aren't bad! Such a vile stereotype."

This time a genuine laugh bubbles out of Mattheo's chest. "Oh, sweet, sweet, Hufflepuff", he trances your cheek with the pads of his fingers, "there are many things that make me as bad as they say. Mostly for the thoughts I have about you."

Your brain short circuits and you blink up at him, processing his words. He has what? Heh?

Mattheo chuckles at your dumbfounded look. Oh, how cute you are when you are clueless. He clasps his hands behind his back and looks around. "Is there anything in particular you want me to see?", he asks, throwing you a bone.

That seems to snap you out of your daydream of what Mattheo could do to you and you shake your head. "Yes. There is one final person I have to introduce you to."

The two of you walk side by side as he studies both muggle and magical paintings. You lead him towards the main sitting with an empty frame with a chair hanging above the fireplace. Dragging an ottoman over, you motion for Mattheo to follow your lead and climb on top of the cushions.

"Meemaw", you call out towards the empty portrait, "I would like to meet someone."

It takes a second or two before your ancestor appears from the side, graciously draping herself and her skirts on the chair. "My littlest Badger! How are you, my dear?"

You lean closer, smiling. "Hello, Meemaw. I would like you to meet someone." You motion towards Mattheo, who looks with big eyes at her.

"Isn't that...?"

Heat spreads over your face and you bite your bottom lip. "I- yeah..."

"Mattheo Riddle, your ladyship." He bows slightly, earning a hearty laugh from her. 

"Aren't you a charmer? You musn't call me ladyship. Just Helga is fine. Or Meemaw, seeing as you are our littlest badger's love." She sends you a doting smile. "Say, if I may ask; aren't you one of Salazar's boys?"

"Yes. I hope that isn't an issue for you, Helga."

She waves his concerns away. It surprised you how easily Meemaw's taken by Mattheo. He's a naturally charming person when he wants to be after all.

"Oh, of course not, dear boy! Your great-grandfather and I had a... very special relationship of our own when we were younger. It warms my heart that our descendants have found each other." A fond look paints her face as she looks off in the distance. 

As a melancholy glimmer befalls her, you take that as your cue to leave. "I have to continue my tour of the house, Meemaw. See you later."

Waving her off, you hop off the ottoman and put it back in the right place before exiting the sitting room. A sigh escapes your lips and you swing your arms back and forth. Mattheo gives you a raised brow before taking your hand in his and continuing the swinging.

It's nice. The two of you just walking and talking about nothing special in particular. You sometimes point out some facts about you growing up around the house. "In that room, we always used to build pillow forts in." Or "I once ran against that door and lost both my front teeth. They were loose anyways", you add quickly at his concerned look.

Everything's so easy with Mattheo that it scares you. How are you supposed to go back to strangers after your arrangement has come to an end? Can you even go back to strangers? Even if Mattheo doesn't feel the same, you wish you at least could stay friends. Because he's genuinely a nice person to hang out with. It would sadden you to lose him.

The ring of a bell plucks you from your thoughts and you turn towards where the sound came from. "Oh! Dinner's ready." You lead the both of you towards the dining room, taking shortcuts and hidden doors. Mattheo chuckles as you press open another hidden panel before finally arriving in said room.

Out of habit, you go to sit at your usual place at the table and Mattheo follows you. But as he pulls the chair back, Danny is quick to sit in it. After sending a glare at your brother, you look apologetic towards the dark-haired boy. His eyes scan the room and the only free seat is right in front of you, between Herbert and Felix. 

Mattheo sighs and takes place on the empty seat. He feels your brothers stare at him, and he does his best to try and act normal. He smiles politely and answers any questions your mother asks him. Eventually, he learns that — who he believes is Felix — is a beater for the Caerphilly Catapults. His wife plays for the Holyhead Harpies and that's how they met each other. 

Dinner seems to pass by smoothly — not counting the snarky remarks of the twins. But they're dicks. As everybody starts to collect the dishes, your father clears his throat. "Why don't you all go outside and...", he glances towards Mattheo, "Take a lap around the fountain so Mattheo and I can have a heart-to-heart."

Both you and Mattheo send slightly panicked looks towards each other as he gets led away by your father. As your brothers let out an 'oooh', you jab Danny in his side with your elbow. He rubs his side with a slight pout and you poke out your tongue. 

"The last one is a rotten egg!", yells Victor and he sprints towards the back door. You let out a curse and start sprinting after him, the others following. 

While you and your brothers race towards the burrow, Mattheo gets led towards your father's office. He anxiously takes place in the chair in front of your father's desk. The man leans forward and studies the Slytherin boy with narrowed eyes. 

"What are your intentions with my daughter?", he asks, getting straight to the point. 

What are his intentions? Well... he can think of a few things. But none are parent-approved answers. "I like her. I really do, Sir. I wouldn't dare to hurt her." Because that is the truth. He always had a crush on you, but getting to know you? You're everything and so much more than he imagined. 

Your father hums. "I ask this because I have received some chatter that you've been in a... physical altercation with one Malcolm Preece. So, Mattheo, what is the deal with that?" He leans back in the leather chair, one brow raised.

For the first time in a while, Mattheo feels genuinely nervous. And it's not the same kind of nervous before he took you out on your first date. No. This is a different kind of nervousness. A deep-down fear to disappoint the people who he cares about. 

And yes, you are one of those people he realises. He cares about you the most.

Lying will do no good. Because, as your father has shown, he somehow has a way to get information about what happens at school. "In all honesty, sir, Preece was threatening your daughter. They broke up and he kept bothering her. It... indeed got physical because some guys don't know when to take a hint." 

Your father purses his lips, his eyes scanning over Mattheo's face. Searching for a sign of dishonesty. But he finds none. 

"Did you at least get him good?"

That makes the dark-haired boy laugh. "Yes, sir. He won't dare to bother her again."

Your father stands up from his chair and holds out his hand for Mattheo to shake. With a smile and a firm handshake, he says, "You did good son. Now, I believe someone's way too anxious to wait a second longer." He points towards the door, where a shadow is seen pacing under through the crack.

Mattheo closes the door behind him and sees you look at him with wide eyes, chewing on your thumb. "How did it go? What did Dad say?" You fling your arms around him and press your cheek against his shoulder.

He smiles and wraps his arms around you. "Don't worry. Everything's fine." When you look up at him, he cradles your face and wipes away some stray dirt. "Don't you worry your pretty little head about it", he smiles.

You roll your eyes but can't help but smile. "Fine. You know what, if we leave now, we maybe have some time left before curfew."

A smirk grows on Mattheo's face while he wetts his bottom lip. "And do what?"

"I don't know", you shrug playfully, pulling him with you, "We will see."

"Absolutely not", says your mother when you come and say your goodbyes. "Your room is already set up. Fresh sheets and everything! Wasn't that clear from my letter?"

Your eyes dart nervously towards Mattheo, who gives you the same look. You silently ask him if he's okay with it. If he's not uncomfortable. He shrugs. He's not too bothered by the idea of staying over.

A sigh escapes you. "Fine. But we don't have anything to sleep in."

Your mother claps in her hands and gets up from the couch, motioning for the both of you to follow her. She leads you through the house, towards your bedroom. 

The smell of clean cotton hits you as soon as you enter your room and you breathe in the smell. That's one of the many things you miss about your home. The house elves of Hogwarts don't use the same detergent as your mother and it just hits a special spot in your brain when you finally smell it.

"I'll grab a pair of Felix's clothes for you, Mattheo." Your mother pats his shoulders before exiting the room.

The boy in question stands in the middle of your bedroom and a smile grows on his face. He can't explain why but it so much you. In the short period he has gotten to know you, this is exactly the type of room he imagined you to have. Maybe with fewer plants.

A four-poster bed stands in the middle of the room, facing a fireplace. On top of the bed grows some hanging plants that spread onto the walls and turn into wallpaper. There's a cosy-looking chair next to the fireplace with tons of pillows and blankets. 

You watch him eyeing the chair and you mention towards it. "You can sit in it if you want. It gives you also a really nice view over the garden." 

Mattheo does so, burying himself between the pillows. The garden is almost too perfect with the way it's lit up by floating lights and lightningbugs. When he looks back at you to comment on the beautifulness, he sees you pull away the many pillows from your bed into a trunk at the front of your bed and readying the bed for sleeping.

"I... I can sleep on the ground- if you're more comfortable with that. I could even fall asleep in this chair."

You stop what you're doing and look at him with such a scandalised look that it makes him shrink. "Uhm how about no? I dragged you into this, like hell I let you sleep on the floor!"

Your mother comes back at the right time with a pair of joggers and a shirt in her hands. She gives him a warm smile as she hands him the clothing, instructing him to where the bathroom is. Mattheo takes that as his saving grace to get a moment of his own. He has to admit, your family is a lot. This whole situation is a lot. And he has nobody to blame for it except himself.

Not that he blames himself. He's quite enjoying himself, being with you, meeting your parents and seeing where you grew up. He now gets why you are how you are. How you can shine so bright because your parents do everything to lighten you.

When he comes back you are also changed in quite the same outfit as him. You are sitting on your bed, nervously nibbling on the side of your thumb. He strides towards you and grabs your hand, stopping you from destroying your nailbed and making you look up at him.

"Are you okay", he asks, interlacing your fingers.

You nod with a hum, eyes focused on your interlinked hands. "Yeah... I'm just tired from today." You run a hand over your hair, brushing some stray strands out of your face. "Are you okay?"

Mattheo lets out a light-hearted scoff. "Don't worry about me, lovely. My family is much much worse."

You blink, wanting to ask more. But a knock on your door stops you. Your father stands in the door opening, Victor looming over his shoulder and glaring daggers at Mattheo. 

"Will you do your old man a favour and keep the door open? I know it makes you uncomfortable, hun. But I don't think I have to explain why?" He motions with his eyes towards how close the two of you are and with a sigh, you nod.

The house is so old that it creaks and groans with even the slightest breeze. And it freaks you out when you hear it at night. Are you saying that this centuries-old house doesn't have ghosts? Likely.

As your dad walks away, Victor takes a step forward, his jaw taut. "You", he points towards the dark-haired boy, "I'm right next door and these walls aren't as thick as they seem. I will hear everything. No funny business!"

Mattheo sends him a charming smile that you know will irritate Victor. "I promise." But when he turns around when Victor storms away, he shows you his crossed fingers. You let out a giggle and swat him.

After that you take it as a cue to get ready to sleep so you crawl under the covers. Mattheo positions himself between you and the open door and the two of you lay on your backs, staring up at the canopy. 

It... feels weird having Mattheo Riddle next to you in your bed. The even weirder feeling is the desire to keep him there.

You turn so you're facing him, your hands tucked under your pillow. "I've been wondering... When you spoke in Parsletongue, what did you say?"

Mattheo tenses slightly before turning towards you, a pink flush heats up his cheeks. His eyes trace every inch of your face, taking in the details; moles, freckles, perfect imperfections. It makes him want to reach out and trace every one of them.

"Oh I don't remember", he says offhandedly, his eyes fleeing yours.

You scoot closer, a mischievous smile on your face. "Yes, you do! Please tell me. It can't be that embarrassing."

His lips part and the same sounds fill the room, raising goosebumps on your arms. "You are... you are the most beautiful person I know and I don't know if I can keep pretending that this is fake."

Your smile melts off your face and you look with wide eyes towards him. An unsure look fills his eyes as his brows knit together. "Say something", he whispers- begs. A hesitant hand reaches out and gets placed on your cheek.

Your heart beats a million miles an hour and every word just escapes your brain. So you do what you have been wanting to do for a while now. And you kiss him. Pressing your lips against his, you close your eyes while your hand travels from his wrist to his shoulder, gripping him tightly.

Mattheo lets out a surprised humph, his eyes wide as he watches your eyes flutter close. He breathes in deeply before kissing you back, pulling you closer.

Two pairs of lips mould against each other while Mattheo's hand slides down and grips your thigh, wrapping your leg around his middle. Your body melts against his as the kiss grows more fierce, lips parting and tongues exploring each other's mouths. 

A low growl emits from Mattheo as you part, your chest raising and falling rapidly. He zeros in on your neck and decides then and there how kissable the skin looks and that it needs to be marked.

Your head gets thrown back as Mattheo attacks your neck with kisses, licks and bites and you do your best to suppress the breathy moan that wants to escape you. You bite your bottom lip as your eyes squeeze close. 

Mattheo's lips travel down, tracing the shape of your throat with his teeth and he flips the both of you over, hovering above you. He relishes in your bitten raw lips and the half-lidded look you give him. The way your chest raises and makes your shirt tighten... he thanks whatever god there is out there that made this possible.

His admiring takes too long in your opinion and you grab the back of his head, yanking him down so he kisses you again. Mattheo complies and cradles your face, his big hands engulfing your cheeks, feeling the heat underneath them. 

He pecks your lips a few times before trailing down, Mattheo's hands finding the hem of your sleep shirt. He glances at you and only continues after a nod. He pushes your shirt up, above your breast while his lips trail from your chin, neck, and collarbones, to your sternum. 

When he flattens his tongue tentatively against one of your nipples, a moan escapes you. It makes him smirk against your skin, doing it again. 

"Matt... ah!", you squeak out, gripping his shoulder.

His tongue swirls against the nub and one of his hands reaches up, clasping a hand over your mouth to silence the sweet noises pouring out of your mouth. Your tongue swipes over one of his fingers. Mattheo presses the pads of his pointer and middle finger against your tongue before sliding into your mouth.

A 'mmph' escapes you while you suck around his digits, hands trying to ground yourself as everything feels too much; his tongue against your boob, his fingers in your mouth, and something hard pressing against your core. 

Your hands find the hem of his shirt and your nails rake up against his bare back. He moans against you and releases your nipple with a 'pop'. He looks at you with dark eyes and swollen lips while he lowers himself towards your core.

While his fingers dance over the elastic of your underwear, you push his fingers out of your mouth. "Matt wait..."

As if your words scorched him, he's off you immediately, his chest raising rapidly and face flushed. "I'm-I'm sorry. I got a little carried away..."

You sit up, pushing your shirt down and shaking your head. "No... please don't- it's okay. I-I enjoyed it too. It's just...", you cradle his face and peck his lips, "I don't want our first time to be in my childhood bedroom and avoid making too much noise."

Mattheo leans into your touch and kisses your palm. You pull him down with you and lay on top of his chest. When you move your legs, you accidentally bump against his boner. You sputter out an apology, feeling bad for blue-balling him.

His hands grab your hips tightly and he presses you closer against his body. He brings his lips towards your ear. "Don't worry about it, Princess. Because when I have the chance, I'm gonna fuck you so good you forget our whole relationship was fake to begin with."

Oh Gods, you created a monster...

Flopbb’s 2022 BBSIM Week 3

Disclaimer: So like a dumbass I was editing the sim week by week and the sim got mad and reset. So I rigged to get back to where week 2 left off. I saved the whole season this time jdhfkj

@ashlynbuggy bathroom-sand @bisexyasami @bitterjurorssavetheday @charlchen-moonves @chumchunom @julieeexcheeen @kemi-fucking-fakunle @lavenderkaty @leotheeworld @maxdoesbb pyrrheposts @skyhawkstragedy @whoblewboobear 

Recap

Last week ended in chaos as the house erupted due to the lies of @whoblewboobear and bathroom-sand. Their target @maxdoesbb along with HOH @ashlynbuggy @lavenderkaty and @skyhawkstragedy exposed the lies to the rest of the house resulting in a massive fight that ended in bathroom-sand walking from the stress of the game. As always with a self-eviction, the eviction vote was cancelled. With that news, Julie instructs everyone to gather in the backyard for the next HOH competition.

Thursday

@leotheeworld manages to hang on the longest and wins this week’s Head of Household, good for him as his F2 was on the block last week with a target on his back as well. 

@ashlynbuggy seeks to make amends with @bisexyasami after the HOH after putting her up on the block last week. There are no hard feelings as they both recognize that it was strictly a game move and nothing personal. They leave the conversation feeling closer and more comfortable with each other. 

However, after hearing their conversation, @charlchen-moonves expresses annoyance in the DR as @ashlynbuggy also put her on the block but hasnt approached to make amends. She concludes they must have formed a deal or an alliance last week and are only just starting to hang out together more in public. She takes this information to her F2 @leotheeworld.

Friday

After a night of plotting together with @charlchen-moonves @leotheeworld gathers everyone into the kitchen for the nomination ceremony.

@leotheeworld begins his nominations speech by saying he respects competitors that are here to play the game like him. He points out @bitterjurorssavetheday has so far been coasting out of the spotlight and its time to step up and fight for your spot in this game. @bisexyasami however IS a good competitor, and that is indeed a threat to his game as he knows she is working in an opposing alliance.

Saturday

While picking players for the veto ceremony, @bitterjurorssavetheday​ manages to pull the HOH’s closest ally, @bisexyasami​ pulls @julieeexcheeen​ who is closely alligned with the first veto winner @skyhawkstragedy​ and @leotheeworld​ pulls former HOH winner @maxdoesbb​. @bisexyasami​ is nervous about having to beat out both members of the public F2 deal that is targeting her, though she feels confident new ally @ashlynbuggy​ could convince her friend @maxdoesbb​ to use the veto on her if he were to win.

With a quickness @leotheeworld​ secures himself absolute power for the week, reinforcing his words at nominations that he a strong player and is here to compete.

Sunday

With such a simple veto set up the day before, Production doesnt take long to clean up the back yard and opens it up to the houseguests for the day. @leotheeworld​ is summoned to the DR and told to go upstairs to his HOH room. Upon entering the room, he sees a large question mark sign hung on what was previously believed to just be a production access door. He opens the letter waiting for him near the door and reads it aloud to the cameras, revealing the door will open Pandora’s Box, a twist long forgotten in the game of Big Brother.  After several minutes of contemplating the best choice for his game, @leotheeworld​ chooses not to open the door, reasoning that its only Week 3 and the risk of unleashing a punishment on the house is too great when next week he will have no power.

As expected, @charlchen-moonves​ joins @leotheeworld​ later that evening to discus strategy. @charlchen-moonves​ is still interested in sending @bisexyasami​ home, which @leotheeworld​ agrees is the best decision, however, she starts to push for him to use the veto on @bitterjurorssavetheday​ and put up @ashlynbuggy​ in her place. @leotheeworld​ very much disagrees, saying the house will be more likely to get out the stronger player on the block, and putting up a former competition winner would not only make that more difficult, but would mean one of them is gunning for their alliance starting next week. @charlchen-moonves​ is focused on revenge for last week, insisting they can win the comps needed if they do end up on the block. After the first week exposing pyrrhepost’s comments to the house, she thought @leotheeworld​ would be on board for the dramatics. He’s clearly not.

@charlchen-moonves​ leaves the HOH room with a lingering sense of distrust.

Monday

As @leotheeworld​ gathers the houseguests in the living room for the veto ceremony, @bisexyasami​ says she recognizes he likely will not use it on a strong player but congratulates him for winning the power anyway. @bitterjurorssavetheday​ also congratulates him but says he should use the veto on her because if he truly thought she hadnt played much game yet, he should allow her the chance to prove him wrong.

@leotheeworld​ chooses not to use the veto, leaving the nominations the same.

After the veto ceremony, @charlchen-moonves​ confides in me about the betrayal of her former F2 member. We devise a plan to flip the vote and keep @bisexyasami​ as she will likely target @leotheeworld​ if she were to stay.

Tuesday

After working together last week @ashlynbuggy​ and @maxdoesbb​ continue to talk and spend time together. @ashlynbuggy​ comes to feel comfortable enough to tell him about her personal life back home, solidifying their friendship.

Thursday

Its finally Thursday again and Julie gathers the houseguests in the living room.In her speech @bisexyasami​ makes it clear if she stays she’ll be going after @leotheeworld​ and if he thinks hes such a strong player then clearly another strong player is needed to take him down. @bitterjurorssavetheday​ reiterates her veto speech, saying she should have another chance to prove she is playing the game and that theres more to being a strong player that putting a target on your back.

One by one the houseguests vote.

@bisexyasami​ 0 - 3 @bitterjurorssavetheday​ 

@bisexyasami​ 2 - 5 @bitterjurorssavetheday​ 

Julie announces to the houseguests that there is a tie, much to everyone’s surprise. @leotheeworld​ is instructed to stand and cast the final vote.

With a vote of 6-5, @bisexyasami​ you have been evicted from the BBSIM house.

[inkdrop-flags]

Hey if it is no problem can you help me understand what this is ..? I am new to the community actually.. I recently got to know that I am bi-ace.

Im not quite sure what your asking ngl.

Ill answer these two questions so hopefully one of them yourse seince im guessing thats what it might be.

Who/where/why/what are neopronouns and why do they need flags?

What are neopronouns?

Heres some definitions. To understand what a neopronoun is, you have to understand what an exipronoun is. An exipronoun are these sets of pronouns; she/her, he/him, they/them and it/its. A neo pronoun is any pronoun that isnt one of those exactly. Basically how the label transgender covers everything that isnt cis woman and cis man. Its an umbrella term.

There are tons of other terms like;

cultural pronouns( pronouns used in other cultures or based in other languages

Religiopronouns( pronouns based on ones religion or religious title)

combo pronouns( pronouns that combine two existing ones such as this; she/her + they/them = shey/shem)

semi-exipronouns (ones that clearly based on she/he/they/it like ey/em, shey/shem, xe/xim, etc. Either a one letter change/combo/etc.)

Noun pronouns( ones that are based on a person/place/thing/idea/sounds/smells/etc. like car/cars, mer/mermaids, dea/death, sil/silver, etc.)

historical pronouns ( ones that have been in use for a very long time such as per/pers, thon/thons, etc.)

xenopronouns ( pronouns " made out of thin air" or have nothing based in anything else like; ver/vers, ki/kir, cy/cyr)

Disorder/disability pronouns( pronouns that are made to be exclusive to people with specific disorders and disabilities; hush/hushs for those who are hoh, blind/blinds for those who are blind and we/us and &/&s for those who are systems!)

Charanouns/Fannouns( pronouns that are made to match a fictional character or fandom such as pi/pika for pikachu or son/sonics for sonic the hedgehog)

Emoji pronouns( pronouns that can only be expressed via emojis in text like 💚/💚s and ✨/✨s. However its super common for them to also use the spoken version such in example as if they use 🔥/🔥s in text, they will probably use fire/fires irl)

All of which would be neopronouns!

Who uses neopronouns?

Litterally anyone and everyone can use them! They are just more common amongst transgender and nonbinary people. However if a pronoun set is exclusive from you due to race/religion/disability status/etc then you should not use them!

Where do people use them?

Most people use them online due to the fact there is a lot of public backlash and transphobia can get you killed. But there are plenty of people irl that use them irl!

Why use neopronouns?

Alot of people use them comorbidly with exipronouns such as me who uses she/her and song/songs! But they are typically used as an expression of ones gender, more commonly their xenogender(s) that exipronouns cant express. Its also used for those who are multigender like how an agender girl would most likely use she/they or shey/shem because she/her is feminine and they/them is neutral. However theres really not a need for a reason why! You can just think they are neat!

Lastly...

Why do neopronouns need a flag?

In truth, they dont need need a flag! Mostly cause useing any kind of pronouns dosent make one lgbt. You can be entirely privlaged and still use crow/crows pronouns. Flags tend to be a representation of something and for some people, their pronouns are important to them, especially if they've faced enby/transphobia as a result. So they want a flag to be proud of their pronouns!

It also allows them to combo their flags with other identities like if they are a proud he/him lesbian, they want to combine a he/him flag with a lesbian flag! Theres lots of reasons.

I hope this answered your question.

Renny’s BBSim: First Boots Week 1

Welcome to a new, exciting season of Biiiiiiiiig Brother!

This season, 16 former first boots will move back into the Big Brother house to try and redeem their previous legacy. These houseguests have been itching to get back in there since they were last voted out. Let’s bring them in!

@ashleaevans @bathroom-sand @kaysarswhore @kayysarridha @kelleekim @lahallucinations @maxdoesbb @misshoh @music-obsessednerd @nerdphobic @nomwastaken @pawn2393 @phylisisley @remember-caltoru @rennyforpresident @shaolinbynature

Welcome! Now that everyone is in the house, people are starting to get to know each other, and alliances are beginning to form

Once everyone is in the house, @misshoh and @nomwastaken pull each other into the bedroom and solidify a final 2. Both of them get good vibes from the other, and know they’ll have each other’s backs. From there, these two GET TO WORK

The next alliance to form is these five. @rennyforpresident pulls @remember-caltoru and @nomwastaken  and @kaysarswhore into the bathroom and quickly says “this is it, this group here. We were the first to walk in, and we’ll be the last to walk out!” Of course, @misshoh walks in to see what her ally @nomwastaken is doing, and walks in on the creation of the alliance. By default, she gets pulled in and The Fearsome Five is born.

The next alliance to form is @phylisisley‘s idea. She knows @shaolinbynature has a good head on her shoulders, and trusts her unconditionally. The feeling is definitely mutual.

Noticing that @kaysarswhore is already a part of the Fearsome Five, @nomwastaken and @misshoh form an alliance within an alliance and get her on their side in a three-person deal. They call themselves the Royal Family.

@kaysarswhore​ in the DR: “In this house, there needs to be a queen! And I fit that role perfectly *wink*”

T

The final alliance is created by @nerdphobic! He pulls the five of them into the storage room and says “This is it! This is the energy I need!”

@misshoh in the DR: “I have had THREE different alliances fall in my lap tonight. There’s no way I’m gone first!”

@pawn2393 gives the new alliance the name of The Block Destroyers, not caring if no one gets the reference

Once all of that has calmed down, the houseguests head to the backyard for their first HOH competition!

Julie: “Hello houseguests! I hope you’ve all been getting to know each other! Tonight, for the second time in BB history, the first Head of Household will be decided by a vote! Whenever you’re ready, please write down the name of the person you want to win HOH.”

After voting, the winner is announced.

All with zero votes

@nerdphobic in the DR: “no one from the Block Destroyers had my back? Wowwwwww, good to know I can trust this alliance early on.”

@phylisisley in the DR: “I’m glad no one voted for me. I need to make sure the target isn’t on my back, and exposing my social game this early isn’t good at all.”

With one vote each

@rennyforpresident in the DR: “I kind of wanted to win, but I’m confused as to who was my one vote? Why me?”

@maxdoesbb: “I’ve talked to like three people tonight? Who voted for me?”

Which means the election comes down to three people

With 3 votes

@nomwastaken in the DR: “I’m not shocked I got so many. I mean, I’m in four different alliances. I voted for @misshoh of course, and I assume it was reciprocated, but who else voted for me? The options are endless! *laughter*”

The only two houseguests left are @music-obsessednerd and @kelleekim. 

By a vote of 4 to 6, the new HOH is...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@music-obsessednerd! You are the first HOH of the season! You have secured your safety for the week and earned the right to nominate two of your fellow houseguests for eviction.

After a lot of gameplay, strategizing, and ass kissing, @music-obsessednerd has made her final decision

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@music-obsessednerd: “I have decided to nominate you @kayysarridha and you @maxdoesbb. This season is really hard in particular, because we’ve all played before, but no one knows how we play. I nominated the two of you because I think you’re the biggest wildcards. I don’t know much about you, but I hope this week you prove that you deserve to stay and fight for the veto! Good luck to you both.”

@kayysarridha in the DR: “Nominated week 1 yet again. Man, why do I keep coming back if I keep getting put on the block! What is it like to be safe? What does that feel like?”

@maxdoesbb in the DR: “I’m not going to panic, because panicking is what got me out last time. I’m gonna play the game the way I know how, and I’m gonna fight!”

On a season of first boots, NO ONE wants to be the first to go. The veto is critical right off the bat.

@rennyforpresident @phylisisley and @pawn2393 are drawn to participate. @kayysarridha uses her houseguests choice to choose @phylisisley; does that mean they’re aligned?

@phylisisley in the DR: “I mean, I’m not opposed to using the veto if I win. What’s the harm in one more ally?”

After 45 minutes, time is UP!

@rennyforpresident spelled “CALTORU”. That is not a word!

@remember-caltoru from the bench: “That’s my gig! Get your own shtick you bitch!”

@rennyforpresident laughs it off and throws some mayo at @remember-caltoru playfully

@maxdoesbb spelled “UNDESTAD”. That is not a word.

@maxdoesbb in the DR: “I was trying to spell UNDERSTAND, but I couldn’t find the letters! Dammit!”

@phylisisley spelled “HELLO”. That is a correctly spelled 5 letter word! You are currently in the lead! Which means

@kayysarridha spelled “COLLABORATION”. That is a correctly spelled 13 letter word! You are currently in the lead! Which means

@music-obsessednerd spelled “UNDERWEAR”. That is a correctly spelled 9 letter word. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to take the lead. Which means

It all comes down to @pawn2393. You spelled...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

CARBONATED. That is a correctly spelled 10 letter word. But it’s not enough!

@kayysarridha! You have won the first Veto of the season! 

Of course, @kayysarridha will use the veto on herself, but who will go up in her place?

At the veto ceremony

@kayysarridha: “Because I have vetoed one of your nominations, @music-obsessednerd, you must now name a replacement nominee.”

The new nominee is...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@music-obsessednerd: “I’ve seen you scurry around this house trying to make deals with everyone except me. It looks like we have a rat in the house, and until you learn to behave, rats go on the block. Sorry, but that’s the way it has to be. I am nominating @kaysarswhore“

@kaysarswhore in the DR: “Yeah, I have deals with people, but I’m playing Big Brother. Clearly some of us aren’t. What a fucking coward.”

Right after the veto ceremony, @kaysarswhore makes a disparaging remark about @music-obsessednerd.

@kaysarswhore under her breath: “What a fucking joke. This bitch doesn’t know how to play this game at ALL”

@shaolinbynature overhears, and jumps in to defend his friend. Naturally, chaos ensues.

@shaolinbynature: “You’re mad because you got caught! You’re mad because you think you’re so great that no one in Big Brother can compare! Grow up!”

The two continue to fight, while @music-obsessednerd watches from upstairs, completely unbothered.

@music-obsessednerd in the DR: “It was nice to be defended, but I really didn’t care. I was just annoyed that I couldn’t go downstairs and get a snack to eat while I watched them”

Well later on, @music-obsessednerd did have her snack, and she made some for the rest of the house too.

Akin to the legendaric ways of Jun Song, @music-obsessednerd made pizza rolls for everyone in the house, and even made some vegan ones for the people who prefer things natural.

At the meal, @misshoh makes a scene. She starts throwing her pizza rolls at other people, and by the end of the hour, everyone is covered in pizza sauce. 

@nomwastaken pulls her aside afterwards and nearly rips her head off. “What the fuck is wrong with you?? You need to clean up this mess, my game isn’t sinking because you wanted to play with your goddamn food”

Shooken by her ally, @misshoh apologizes to the whole house at once, and gets let off the hook for her antics. 

In the days leading up to eviction, @pawn2393 feels a change in the wind. He knows he’s not top dog, but he’s starting to think he might be on the bottom of the totem pole. So, naturally, he gets to work.

By Thursday, he has three more final2 deals and 5 more promises to keep him safe next week. Will the intense gameplay come back to bite him in the ass?

Now that it’s Thursday, the moment you’ve all been dreading has come. Who will walk out of the house first for the SECOND time?

Arisa: “Hello everyone! The powers that may be (the person hosting this goddamn sim) have decided to bring me on to host this season! Because Julie is, um, going through some stuff right now! Yeah, going through it!

Anyways, it’s been an exciting first week! @music-obsessednerd, how does it feel being the FIRST HOH of the season?”

@music-obsessednerd: “Amazing! I knew under no circumstances was I going out first, so I’m glad everyone trusted me enough to vote me into power! Hope I didn’t screw it up for anyone!”

@kaysarswhore and @maxdoesbb roll their eyes

Arisa: “ @ashleaevans, how is life in the BB house? I heard you were a have-not this week!”

@ashleaevans: “It was a DISASTER! Slop SUCKS! I just wanted some goddamn pizza rolls and @misshoh took them for granted! I cannot wait to become HOH and eat some real food.”

Arisa: “I hear it every season! Now, unfortunately, one of you will be leaving the BB house tonight. But first, the two nominees have one last chance to sway your vote.”

@kaysarswhore: “I came here to play BB. I have loved this game from the start, and I wanted to come in here, guns blazing, ready to fight. If you want to punish me for that, go ahead! But you’ll be losing out on a valuable ally and someone who’s always willing to shake up this house. I don’t think I can say the same thing for @maxdoesbb. Regardless, play hard, and show this game the respect it deserves!”

@maxdoesbb: “Hi guys! Please don’t vote me out first again! I truly don’t know if I can handle that. Last time I was in the house for less than a day, and I really just want to prove to you all that I can play BB! Give me that chance, and I hope we have a great summer together!”

Arisa: “Alright, it’s time. Let’s get to the vote.”

The vote starts off with 1 vote for @kaysarswhore and 2 for @maxdoesbb. People just don’t have a good read on him, and don’t think they can trust him.

After that, one more vote is cast to evict each of our nominees. @phylisisley casts a surprise vote to evict @kaysarswhore, saying “she thinks she’s the queen of this house? Well there can only be ONE, and that’s me.”

What might look like a standard backdoor might not be; @music-obsessednerd thinks she has the votes in the bag to take out the person she deemed a rat, but what she doesn’t know, is that the house has a blindside in the works. The rest of the votes are unanimous

Arisa: “The votes are in. Remember that when I reveal the name of the evicted houseguest, they will have one minute to gather their belongings, say their goodbyes, and exit the Big Brother house.”

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@music-obsessednerd and @ashleaevans sit in stunned silence. @phylisisley knew the plan, but threw a hinky vote anyway, and manages to play it cool when the results are read.

Arisa: “ @maxdoesbb come on out!”

Arisa: “We are SO disappointed to see you walk out of the house first. How are you feeling?”

@maxdoesbb: “Honestly? I think BB just isn’t in my cards! *audience laughter* It was a tough week and a rough start, and I just wasn’t able to bond with anyone. People were telling me I was safe and not the target, but I guess the lying started early!”

Arisa: “What about @kaysarswhore? I mean, she got pretty publicly called out? Why do you think they kept her?”

@maxdoesbb: “People probably think the only deal she has is with them! Once they start connecting the dots, her ship is sunk. That kind of game isn’t sustainable, so it’ll be fun to get to see her downfall later on.”

Arisa: “Who are you rooting for? Did you make any friends in there?”

@maxdoesbb: “Absolutely! I hope @ashleaevans takes it. At the very least, I wouldn’t be mad if @music-obsessednerd wins either. I know she put me up, but I only want to lose to the winner! *audience laughter*”

Arisa: “We are so sorry to see you go, but it was lovely having you!

NWT BBSIM WEEK 8

@carry-on-wayward-starkid​​ @juliechensponytail​​ @kaysarswhore​​ @kelleekim​​ @legendareme​​ @marcdjr00​​ @peterbrownismydaddy​​ @whats-bb22​​

Jury:​ @jessica-milagros​​​ @julieeexcheeen​​​

Pre-Jury: @bb-8teen​​​ @bigbrotheristerribleandihateit​​​ @bitterjurorssavetheday​​​ @cirie​​​ @rennyforpresident​​​

Last week, @/carry-on-wayward-starkid and @/legendareme once again controlled the house, sending @/julieeexcheeen goodbye as revenge for her plan to evict @/legendareme the week before.

This week, a new Head of Household will be crowned and one more will say goodbye to the game. Find out next on NWT Big Brother!

It is midnight of Eviction day (ignore the daylight), the houseguests are told to head out to the backyard for the Head of Household.

Everyone enters the backyard and in front of them are hanging glass boxes with no bottom.

"Ohhh my godd.... It's too late for an endurance competition!" I sigh "I'm literally so tired and I want to sleep..."

The other houseguests agree.

As the outgoing HOH, @/carry-on-wayward-starkid will host the competition.

"Hello houseguests! Or should I say "good morning" instead because it's technically morning?" @/carry-on-wayward-starkid says.

"Can we get this going so we can finish because I really really really... want to go back to bed." @/kaysarswhore scowls.

"Oh okay... alright sure!" @/carry-on-wayward-starkid responds.

She then starts to explain the rules, once she's finished the houseguests each get into their glass box and the competition begins.

This competition is extremely difficult as there is no wiggle room for the houseguests to adjust their position, it can cost them the win if they try to move.

(not me raising the stake of the comp even tho its a pretty normal comp in bb9)

Only 12 minutes in and @/marcdjr00 is showing signs of struggle as he starts slipping.

And with nothing to hold on to, @/marcdjr00 falls and becomes the first person eliminated.

23 minutes have passed and out of nowhere @/whats-bb22 drops.

"I can't do this, I have literally no upper body strength so good luck yall!" he says as he walks to the bench.

30 minutes in and everyone is still hanging on.

At 38 minute, I begin to feel my hands as they're getting numb, figure that it's better to stop so I drop down, eliminating myself from the competition.

It is now the 1 hour into the competition, the houseguests are still hanging.

At 1:14, @/juliechensponytail starts to lose her grip and before she can do something about it she's already begun falling down.

But what she didn't notice is right before she landed on the mattress, @/legendareme fell and was eliminated.

"Omg when did that happen?" @/juliechensponytail asks when she sees @/legendareme.

3 houseguests remain, 2 have won an HOH competition before and they would love to win it again. @/peterbrownismydaddy technically did win an HOH competition but he never got a chance to actually experience what it's like to be one, can he pull out the win?

. . .

Everyone hangs on for another 40 minutes.

At 1:52, @/kaysarswhore arms begin to shake which makes her slipped off of the box thus eliminating her from the competition.

The competition comes down to @/kelleekim and @/peterbrownismydaddy, who can outlast the other and become the new Head of Household?

. . .

The 2 houseguests continue to hang on for quite a while.

On the bench, you can see a few people sleeping, leaning against one another.

Its 2:22 now and @/peterbrownismydaddy is starting to feel the pain on his wrists, knowing that he can't hold on any longer, he decides to strike a deal with @kelleekim.

"Hey! Hey @/kelleekim!" @/peterbrownismydaddy calls out to @/kelleekim.

@/kelleekim notices this and says "Yeah?"

"Please let me have this.... I just wanna read my family letter." @/peterbrownismydaddy pleads "I won't nominate you I swear!"

Hearing this @/kelleekim begins to think, debating whether to let @/peterbrownismydaddy win or to keep hanging on.

After a while @kelleekim comes to a conclusion "I'm sorry man but I want it too, I'm really sorry." he tells @/peterbrownismydaddy.

"But you just won a few weeks ago so please just this one time, let me have this!..." @/peterbrownismydaddy says, still trying to convince @/kelleekim.

"You know what? If you really wanna win this then stop talking and focus on yourself, beat me and win fair and square!" @/kelleekim responds, now annoyed by @/peterbrownismydaddy.

The rest of houseguests, who's still awake, begin to notice the conversation between the two.

"Please-" @/peterbrownismydaddy continues but before he can finish his sentence, his arms give up and he falls.

And with that, @/kelleekim is the last person hanging which means he is the new Head of Household.

"Guys wake up!" @/juliechensponytail says, shaking the sleeping houseguests.

"Congrats on winning @/kellekim, your 2nd HOH!" @/carry-on-wayward-starkid announces and gives @/kelleekim the HOH key.

"huh is it done?.." "Who won?" "I didn't sleep! I was just... relaxing my eyelids..." mumble the newly awake houseguests.

"Thank you." @/kelleekim says, hugging @/carry-on-wayward-starkid.

Then he goes to @/peterbrownismydaddy and says "I'm really sorry but you gotta understand, this is a game and there's only a few people left, I don't wanna go home because I let someone read a letter...".

@/peterbrownismydaddy sighs but then nods "Yeah I totally get it, don't worry!"

Everyone then heads back inside so they can go to bed.

It’s a few days later, the Nominations ceremony is about to begin.

"As the HOH, it is my duty to nominate 2 houseguests for eviction, and I've chosen...." @/kelleekim says.

@/juliechensponytail and @/peterbrownismydaddy picture appears on the screen.

" I nominated the 2 of you simply because I can..." @/kelleekim smiles "No but seriously, you two are the only ones in this house I feel the least connected with so it just makes sense for me to do it." he explains for real this time.

The nominees are not shocked by @/kelleekim decision although someone is slightly annoyed.

"Well I guess I saw that coming because he did nominate the last time he was HOH but you know... I really hoped that it would've gone a different way." @/juliechensponytail DR.

"Really?... You wanna play like this? After I begged you to let me win the competition so I can see my family, after I told you that you're safe if I were HoH, after you ignoring my pleas THIS is what I got in return?!" @/peterbrownismydaddy looks straight at the camera ,as if he is talking to @/kelleekim, in his DR.

"The Nominations ceremony is adjourned!"

It's Veto players selecting time.

@/whats-bb22 @/legendareme and @/kaysarswhore will be joining the HOH and the nominees in the Veto competition.

It's Veto competition day, the houseguests are getting ready to enter the backyard.

"OMG!!!" "Awww." "Nooo now I'm missing the outdoor..." the houseguests says when they see the backyard.

The backyard is set up like a street with a cafe, a book store, a restaurant and more.

"Houseguests! Who's ready for a family outing!" I, the host, asks the houseguests.

"WOOO!" "Let's do it!" "YEAHHH." everyone replies.

"Alright here how it will go!" I begin explaining the rules.

"Yall will now have a few minutes to look around and memorize the items!"

The players begin to spread across the street, some at the coffee shop, some at the toys store and some at the fruit vendors.

"Ok time's up! Please get to your booth so we can begin the competition." I order the houseguests.

Everyone follows my order and the competition begins.

(ill be taking the questions and answers from the show but the houseguests answers are randomly generated using Random Number Generator)

Round 1.

"There are 12 pinwheels standing in the small pinwheels display, how many pinwheels are standing in the LARGE pinwheels display?" I ask.

Everyone starts counting the pinwheels in their head, some are using the blackboard to calculate.

"Alright, please lock in your answers!"

And the houseguests answers: @/juliechensponytail 122 @/kaysarswhore 137 @/kellekim 240 @/legendareme 178 @/peterbrownismydaddy 340 @/whats-bb22 184

"And are you staying or fold?"

@/juliechensponytail [FOLD] @/kaysarswhore [STAY] @/kellekim [STAY] @/legendareme [FOLD] @/peterbrownismydaddy [STAY] @/whats-bb22 [STAY]

"@/juliechensponytail and @/legendareme, you two folded so you're our of this round but you're still in the game!"

"Let's see who is the closest!”

“There are 227 pinwheels standing in the LARGE display. Congrats @/kelleekim, you are the closest to the correct amount which means you have earned a point!"

"Sorry @/peterbrownismydaddy but you are the furthest away which means you are eliminated from the competition."

"Awww... I'll never win a competition." @/peterbrownismydaddy sighs, stepping away from the booth. 

Round 2.

"There are 8 espresso cups hanging on the back wall of the cafe, how many espresso cups are hanging on the SIDE wall of the cafe?"

Everyone is thinking, trying to remember the cafe.

"Please, lock in your answers."

And the answers are: @/juliechensponytail 260 @/kaysarswhore 515 @/kellekim 614 @/legendareme 337 @/whats-bb22 242

"And are you gonna stay or fold?"

@/juliechensponytail [STAY] @/kaysarswhore [STAY] @/kellekim [STAY] @/legendareme [STAY] @/whats-bb22 [STAY]

"Ok, everyone stayed, let's see who has the closest number!"

"There are 482 espresso cups hanging on the side wall of the cafe. Which means @/kaysarswhore you earned 1 point!"

"And I'm sorry @/whats-bb22, you have the furthest number away so you have been eliminated."

"Fuuuuu....uun! Who doesn't love being eliminated from a competition." @/whats-bb22 says.

Round 3.

"There are 60 pieces of fruit in the crate on the basket, how many pieces of fruit are in all the other fruit containers combined?"

Everyone tries to remember the amount of fruit containers, the houseguests who are not competing are also doing it for fun.

"Pleas lock in your answers!"

The answers: @/juliechensponytail 977 @/kaysarswhore 919 @/kellekim 1082 @/legendareme 917

"Would you like to stay or fold?"

@/juliechensponytail [STAY] @/kaysarswhore [FOLD] @/kellekim [STAY] @/legendareme [STAY]

"@/kaysarswhore since you've folded, you're out of this round but still in the competition.”

"And let's see who has the closest number!"

"There are 1083 pieces of fruit combined from all of the containers, which means @/kelleekim, you earn another point!"

Everyone, including @/kelleekim (and me bcus i was SHOOKTHEDT when i saw 1082 from the generator), is shocked by @/kelleekim answer.

"WTF @/kelleekim... are you a wizard or something?" @/juliechensponytail says.

"And I'm sorry @/legendareme, with the furthest number away, you have been eliminated."

@/legendareme nods and leaves the booth.

"@/kelleekim is in the lead with 2 points and @/kaysarswhore is behind with 1." 

"Next question!"

Round 4.

"There are 24 donuts on the table, how many donuts are displayed on the COUNTERS?"

The houseguests are thinking and calculating and remembering and-

"Ok please lock in your answers!"

The answers: @/juliechensponytail 626 @/kaysarswhore 533 @/kellekim 372

"And are you staying for folding?"

@/juliechensponytail [FOLD] @/kaysarswhore [FOLD] @/kellekim [FOLD]

"Everyone folded, now yall can either choose to switch or keep your decision or we can move on to the next round. What do you wanna do?"

@/juliechensponytail and @kelleekim decide to switch to [STAY] while @/kaysarswhore still on [FOLD].

"Alright @/kaysarswhore you folded which means you're out of this round but are still in the competition."

"Let's see who has the closest number!"

"There are 559 donuts displayed on the counters and that means @/juliechensponytail you earned 1 point!"

"@/kaysarswhore, if you had chosen to stay, you could've won a point..."

"....." @/kaysarswhore just stares blankly at nothing.

"But that means, @/kelleekim you are out of the competition."

"Aghh dang it..." @/kelleekim grunts then steps out of the booth.

It's @/juliechensponytail against @/kaysarswhore for the final round.

"There are 15 books on the shelf outside of the bookstore, how many books are there INSIDE of the bookstore?"

The girls are trying to remember the store.

"And as it is the last round there is no more folding, please lock in your answers!"

The answers: @/juliechensponytail 361 @/kaysarswhore 312

"Ok, the closest person to the correct answer will win the Power of Veto! Let's see who it is."

"The are 266 books INSIDE the bookstore which mean congratulations @/kaysarswhore you have won the Power of Veto!"

"WOOOOSHSAKJ" @/kaysarswhore jumps up and down, clapping excitedly.

"Here you go babe!" I say handing her the Veto.

"Congrats!" "You guys did amazing." "That was fun!" the other houseguests says.

"YESSSSS THIS IS MY... 4TH WIN NOW! These bitches better watch out!" @/kaysarswhore DR.

It's the next days and everyone is in the living room for the Veto meeting.

@/juliechensponytail and @/peterbrownismydaddy will have a chance to convince @/kaysarswhore to save them with her Veto.

@/juliechensponytail gives her speech first. "Hey all, hey @/kaysarswhore, congrats on winning the POV! You know that I am a loyal gal and I play this game with honesty and integrity and the house need more people like that so let's help it to get to that by saving safe me!" @/juliechensponytail says.

@/peterbrownismydaddy is next.

"Congrats on winning the Veto! I just want you to do the right thing for your game and no matter what it is, I will still respect your decision." @/peterbrownismydaddy tells @/kaysarswhore.

"Alright then... I'm sorry but I have decided to not use the POV.... on @/peterbrownismydaddy." @/kaysarswhore says.

Everyone, for the nth time, is shocked by the fake out.

"@/juliechensponytail I got you girl!" @/kaysarswhore continues and gives @/juliechensponytail the Veto.

"Thank you so much!" @/juliechensponytail hugs @/kaysarswhore then sits down on the couch.

"And with one of your nominees gone, @/kelleekim please make a replacement!" @/kaysarswhore tells @/kelleekim.

@/kelleekim, who did not expect the nominations to change, stands up and quickly thinks of a plan.

He scans around the living room, looking for someone to nominate. Finally, he narrows it down to 2 people.

"@/carry-on-wayward-starkid please take a seat!" @/kelleekim says.

Hearing that @/carry-on-wayward-starkid just nods and sit downs in the Nominations chair.

"Ah... of course." @/carry-on-wayward-starkid shakes her head in her DR.

It's final, @/carry-on-wayward-starkid and @/peterbrownismydaddy are up for eviction.

Not wanting to go home, @/peterbrownismydaddy pulls out all the trick he has to get on people good side.

@/peterbrownismydaddy invented a game called 'Dodge or Dare', definitely not something from The Amazing World of Gumball, and the houseguests almost burned down the house playing it. Grodner is calling her lawyers as we speak.

Now to @/kelleekim... I'm just gonna let your imagination do the work SHJSJA.

(but if you really wanna know what he said then ill tell you.... HE CALLED ME A F----T, NOMWASTAKENATORS LETS TREND #KELLEEKIMISOVERPARTY)

"Welcome back to NWT Big Brother, this week @/kelleekim won his 2nd HOH of the season and nominated @/juliechensponytail and @/peterbrownismydaddy for eviction. But after the Veto meeting, @/carry-on-wayward-starkid found herself on the block after @/juliechensponytail was Vetoed by @/kaysarswhore. Who will be the next to join @/julieeexcheeen and @/jessica-milagros in the Jury house? We will find out tonight!" Julie opens the episode.

"But for now, let's join the houseguests."

"Hello everyone!" Julie greets the houseguests.

"Oh heyyy Julie!" "Hiii." "What's up Julie!." everyone responds. 

"@/carry-on-wayward-starkid and @/peterbrownismydaddy, one of you will leave the game tonight but for one last time, you two will have a chance to get the votes you need in order to stay. @/carry-on-wayward-starkid please go first." Julie says.

"Alright, hey everyone! I love and respect all of you and I love playing this game, I don't think it is my time to go so please if you can, keep me. Thank you!" @/carry-on-wayward-starkid says.

"@/peterbrownismydaddy your turn!"

"Okay! Um... please keep me because I need the money so when CBS sue me, I can be ready!" @/peterbrownismydaddy jokes causing production to mute a portion of his speech.

While the houseguests are laughing at the joke, the audience and Julie are very confused.

"Ok then.... before we vote, as a reminder @/kelleekim as the HOH, you can only vote in the event of a tie! @/juliechensponytail please head to the Diary room."

"That's 2 votes for @/carry-on-wayward-starkid."

"@/carry-on-wayward-starkid now has 3 votes, @/peterbrownismydaddy only has 1. This could be a tie if the next 2 votes are for @/peterbrownismydaddy! Let's see how they go."

. . .

"It's official, with 4 votes to evict @/carry-on-wayward-starkid will be leaving the house tonight! Let's break the news to the houseguests."

"Houseguests, I have the results. By a vote of 4 to 2........."

"@/carry-on-wayward-starkid you have been evicted from the NWT Big Brother house."

@/carry-on-wayward-starkid immediately stands up and starts saying goodbye to the houseguests.

Before she leaves, she hugs @/legendareme and wishes him luck then she exits the house.

"Houseguests please change to your sportswear and wait for me outside." Julie tells the houseguests then she begins her interview with @/carry-on-wayward-starkid.

"Ok @/carry-on-wayward-starkid, hello, how are you?" Julie asks.

"Oh I'm good Julie, you know I just got backdoored but who cares!" @/carry-on-wayward-starkid laughs.

"Oh hahaha!" Julie laughs with her. "Since you brought it up, let's talk about your backdoor, did you see it coming?"

"I had a feeling that it was either me or @/legendareme so yes?..." @/carry-on-wayward-starkid answers.

"Hmmm I'll take that as a yes." Julie says "And @/legendareme, let's talk about him!" Julie continues.

"You two were a powerful force to be reckoned with, a lot of people thought that you were going all the way!" Julie tells @/carry-on-wayward-starkid.

"Aww thanks Julie, we really got them scared, shook, panicking... Too bad I'm out here and not inside. But good for them I guess." @/carry-on-wayward-starkid says bitterly.

"It's been very nice chatting with @/carry-on-wayward-starkid, you definitely left your mark this season and we will miss seeing you inside the house! But for now, you can enjoy your time at the Jury villa and I will see you at the Finale!" Julie says and sends @/carry-on-wayward-starkid backstage.

"And don't go anywhere because up next is the LIVE Head of Household competition!"

WEEK 8 is done, that's 8/16 people evicted but we still have a long way to go. I'll be back tomorrow (if Tumblr doesn't fck up that is) see yall!

10 ¾ 

Reasonably Supple Flexibility

Holly wood is of the more rare variety of wand woods. Often considered protective and attracted to those who need help overcoming anger and imeptiosity. Typically their owners are engaged in a dangerous or spiritual quest. Thunderbird tail feathers are said to be great for transfiguration and are proceedingly difficult to master. They are sometimes said to fire curses when in danger.

2nd Wand: N/A. This boy refuses to lose his wand.

Animagus: An arctic fox 

Misc Magical Abilities: Nothing other than being a metamorphmagus.

Boggart Form: His brother, Allston, looking notably dead and enraged (a nod to being afraid of failing his loved ones).

Amortentia: He smells like peppermint, a freshly cracked book, and petrichor. 

Amortentia: He smells something distinctly animal, faint smokiness, and lavender. 

Patronus: An Occamy.

Patronus Memory: When he becomes an animagus. While the actual process is miserable for him, being able to get to the end and have it work was monumental. It allowed him to feel some semblance of control and was a time he got incredibly close with Talbott.

Specialized/Favourite Spells:

Specializes in transfiguration spells

Protego (Usually always bailing his friends out of trouble)

Quidditch

Favourite Professors: McGonagall

Professor McGonagall is someone Konn looks up to immensely. As he specializes in Transfiguration and later begs to undergo the ritual for becoming an Animagus, she is his closest and greatest ally and teacher. She always looks out for him and presents him with more opportunities to further his skill.

Least Favourite Professors: 

Rakepick: As far as things go with Rakepick, her entire duration as a professor always rubbed Konn the wrong way. He hated her secrecy and interference with the Vaults. He begrudgingly worked with her to gain information and to find his brother, mostly using her as she used him.

Snape: He is mostly disliked due to the toxic relationship he develops with Konn. Always pushing Konn to higher standards than everyone else in unachievable ways, Konn always felt the need to meet them as Snape showed he cared for him and was his HoH. As someone afraid of failure, this was always something that stressed Konn. (Not to mention Snape always praises Merula.)

- RELATIONSHIPS -

Brother: Allston Rainwater

Pureblood Wizard

Attended Hogwarts as a Slytherin

His Animagus form is a Golden Jackal

Allston acted as Konn’s parental figure for the most part. The two were inseparable. His love for his brother outweighs just about everything else.

He never wanted to get involved with the Vaults, but was given no choice.

Allston abstained from having any relations with anyone, often saying he had too much on his plate between the Vaults and his brother. Though later when Konn gives him a normal life, he’s revealed to be straight and marries a muggle woman, having two kids with her.

Misc Siblings: N/A

Father: Roland Rainwater

44 years old

Works for the Ministry of Magic as a high ranking official

Pureblood Wizard

Attended Hogwarts as a Slytherin

Had little interest in his actual kids, spent most of his time working and out of the house, only coming around with gifts just to disappear again.

Very wealthy.

It was suspected later that he was responsible for working with R and that he had pressured Allston into searching for the Vaults.

Mother: Charlotte Rainwater

42 years old

Pureblood Witch

Works as a journalist and writer, always traveling and hunting her next big thing.

Attended Hogwarts as a Ravenclaw.

She was always a bit of a narccisist. Always obssessed with her own career and luxury earninings. She spends big and lives freely, using her work as an excuse for the neglect she left her children with.

Love Interest: Talbott 

Towards the start, Talbott wanted nothing to do with Konn. He found him dangerous and obssessive, his constant trouble-making with the Vaults always causing him to worry.

Konn crushed on him first after seeing how he worked with Transfiguration and learned he was an Animagus.

In attempts to get Talbott to notice him and strike jealousy, Konn asked Tonks to be his fake date to the ball. This rouse failed miserably as Talbott just thought they were dating.

During 5th year, Konn finally confessed how he felt. Talbott had his reserves, but agreed to a first date.

They compliment each other really well. Both specializing in the same areas, Talbott’s cool and collected often soothes Konn’s rampant lack of control, while Konn often convinces Talbott to come out of his shell.

While still chasing Talbott, over a summer, Konn and Hal have a brief fling before realizing they’re more like brothers and wondering what the hell they were thinking.

Best Friends: 

Nymphadora Tonks

Rowan Khanna

Rival: Merula

Enemy: R, Rakepick, his father, and later on (I think for everyone) Voldemort, Ben Copper.

Dormmates: 

Rowan

Barnaby

Murphy

Orion

Pets: His pet Fennec Fox, Vulcan. Vulcan was gifted to him by Allston right before he vanished. It is speculated Allston went home, left the gift, then went back to Hogwarts where he was finally trapped.

Closest Canon Friends:

Talbott Winger

Nymphadora Tonks

Rowan Khanna

Tulip Karasu

Barnaby Lee

Jae Kim

Charlie Weasley

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

As an infant, Konnor was nannied by an elderly woman hired through services. She was strict and cold, pushing his incredibly young mind to work before it was ready. This was when he showed signs of being a metamorphmagus, always seeming to scare the living daylights out of the woman who could never keep up with walking into a room and seeing a different baby each time.

By the time Konnor had turned four, Allston was his primary caretaker. The two brothers were inseparable, always learning, exploring. They had great fun teasing all the teachers and incoming caretakers together. It just so happened, they also took more fun in seeing how much they could milk from their parents. Pizzas every night, horror movies on the screen. It was through fun, companionship, and love that Konn shaped and grew into a more controlled state. He was smart, always pushing Allston to teach him more and more. It got quite lonely once Allston began going to Hogwarts and leaving all year save for holidays and summer, but they wrote religiously and Konnor would always be bouncing and ready to beg his brother to share all he’d learned during the year once he returned.

Hogwarts. At this stage in Konnor’s life, it was finally his turn to go to the grand school he’d been itching to attend ever since his brother had… but it came bittersweet. Allston had never come home to celebrate his acceptance letter. Had never come home to prep, to plan, to discuss what happened that year. He’d vanished, and with it he took most of Konn’s excitement and control. As emotions ran rampant in the boy, he started his years at the school a freak. Lonely. They all talked about his brother, the expectations for himself. There was little love or care in what he did save for seeking out his brother. Many may say he grew jaded, untamed, obsessive. There was only one thing that really clung to his heart, the fennec fox his brother had left behind for him as a pet.

Indirectly, his parents taught him many things. Konnor, at heart, grew to be quite frugal, never taking advantage of anything given to him (lest it was another gift from his father that meant nothing at all). He was also taught what family really meant, that it was between those who meant something to you and should be protected at all costs. Though on a much opposite end, he also found he had to work twice as hard for any recognition, always pushing himself above and beyond to be anything great. Especially when he had Allston to impress.

After leaving Hogwarts at the end of his schooling, Konn went on reunited with his brother in full. While Allston never rejoined the wizarding world fully, becoming something of a vigilante to hunt down those that’d wronged him and threatened his family, Konn began avidly seeking out the Order. He was quickly accepted as a spy, doing frequent operation work while maintaining a line on his brother and making sure he stayed out of danger.

At one point, he was approached by a Death Eater, and nearly underwent necessary precaution to become a double agent, but Allston, Hal, and Talbott quickly ushered against the idea of their brother, friend, and lover being marred permanently by a symbol and risking his life more than he already did.

During the heat of the war, Konn asked Talbott to always be his. They then promised each other that once the battle and hardships were over, they’ll consider marriage and having a family together. However, it is quickly discovered it wouldn’t be so simple.

It is found out that in Konn and Allston’s attempts to bring their father to justice that he’s murdered in order to keep whatever secrets he might have had. This is then promptly framed on Allston who it catches up to later alongside much of his vigilante practices. When faced with the hard decision to persecute his own brother, Konn instead begs Talbott to help him remove Allston’s memories and give him a normal life. Removing all of Allston’s memories and replacing them with something much more mundane, they move Allston to America where he’s finally free from the perils of the wizarding world.

Konn never appears to be the same after losing his brother for good, but lives the rest of his life working and watching out for any oncoming threats. He and Talbott eventually do settle down with two adopted children together.

- PERSONALITY - 

Protective: Konn is protective of his loved ones to a fault. Deep rooted with paranoia, he is constantly fretful for his loved ones and does everything in his power to keep them safe while still trudging through the hell that is their experience in Hogwarts and beyond. He’s quick to jump at the defense of his friends and family, not afraid to risk his own hide in the process should it be necessary.

Short Tempered: Of his many rampant emotions, anger is the quickest one to flare and show. Anytime he’s frustrated or annoyed, someone is bound to know. Whether it be his shortness or the flaming red hair, you’re welcome to take your pick of context. He’s very quick to annoy and while true anger from him is hard to achieve, petty anger and annoyance is almost constant. Droning noises, interruptions, and blatant stupidity are all quick to grate his nerves.

Stubborn: Konn has never been one to back down from anything, and he never intends to. Driven by a need to prove himself and inability to let something go, he will see something through to the very end. This allows him all the qualities of a hard worker. He gives everything his all without any intention of slowing or stopping. Sometimes this also means doing the work for others if they can’t keep up.

Intelligent/Cunning: While irritating on many levels when he tries to be the smartest person in the room, Konnor truly is smart. He often gets things faster than most and while conventional learning is useless, his hands on learning style allows him to learn on the fly. He almost always has an answer for everything and uses this to aid himself and his friends whenever they’re caught in a bad situation. He also consistently keeps good grades on everything while at Hogwarts.

Ambitious: It’s no surprise as a Slytherin that Konn tends to aim high. Though not in the standard many may think, he doesn’t want glory or fame or money. His ambitions are often geared towards his power and loved ones. Whether it be proving to the world he can take down the Vaults and save his brother, getting all his loved ones out alive, furthering his own power, or even taking down R himself. He’s the kind to look at a challenge and want nothing more than to conquer it.

Loyal: Alongside his protectiveness, Konn would never leave someone he cared for behind. He’s not even the type to leave someone he cared very little for behind. Including Merula on some occasions. As far as Konn is concerned, the only person allowed to bully his people are him. He is quick to rise to any occasion to stick by and protect his friends. Should they need a hand in battle, to get out of detention, or simply a shoulder to cry on, he tries to always be there.

MISC

NOTE: This section may update from time to time.

Konn lives in Bloomsbury, London when not attending Hogwarts in the Rainwater family home and often invites his friends over to stay with him during the summer.

He’s attempted to play many instruments including the violin, flute, and piano but never felt it was for him in the end and lost his touch if he ever acquired it.

Despite never having much room to prove it, he is a huge animal lover and adored his time working with Magical Creatures, often wishing he’d spent more time dedicating to it.

Konn was born with awful vision, but as he learned to control his metamorphmagus abilities, his eyesight also varied and improved.

No one is really sure whether his metamorphmagus abilities were inherited or not.

Konn comes from a small family of only two uncles, an aunt, and three cousins on his dad’s side of the family. His mother was an only child.

He listens to 80′s rock religiously after Hal introduced him to muggle music and what he learned was called a ‘cassette player’. Hal let him use it once and never got it back.

While his family is rich, spending money stresses Konn out. 

Much like his mother, he developed a knack for writing, however exclusively keeps it as a hobby

He let Hal try to teach him to shoot a gun once. He bruised his shoulder and after promptly startling himself into a new shape, vowed never to use one again.

Konn has never lost a game of Monopoly in his life.

After Rowan’s death, Konn blames Ben and fosters an incredible hatred for the boy after.

Big Brother Astrology: Week 2

@girlsgeneration @candicestewart @rennyforpresident @shellipoole @nerdphobic @marcdjr00 @shaolinbynature @transpokenerd​ @starlessed​ @jaysar​ @kaysarswhore​ @cirie-sandra-michaela​

Last we left off the houseguests were competing in their second hoh, after their first eviction, which resulted in Libra leaving the Big Brother astrology house.

This week’s HOH is King of the Jungle!

The houseguests hang on tight as they go back and forth hitting walls hard. Just after the rain starts, 5 houseguests fall from their vines, unable to hang on any longer.

Cancer, comfortable in his alliances, and confident that there are better targets uses the rain as a guise to throw the comp, pretending to slip and fall. But was he successful in convincingly throwing the comp?

The remaining houseguests hang on for a long while before two more fall down. First is Gemini, who was just not prepared to hang on this long, and after comes scorpio, who when adjusting her grip on the vine, unexpectedly falls. She is frustrated and worried it may have cost her the game because she fears her behavior the week previous makes her an easy target despite making amends.

These leaves the competition down to Pisces, Capricorn, and Taurus. In this last stand the final three hold on especially tight to their vines. The competition lasts for another house before the next houseguest falls.

Capricorn decides that it is best to not make himself look like such a comp threat as he believes he is not on anybody’s radar.

Soon after Taurus and Pisces are both tired when Pisces offers Taurus a deal. Pointing out that they’re both exhausted, she says that all she wants is a letter from home and she promises not to nominate Taurus for the week.

At first Taurus seems unsure, and seeing this Pisces assures Taurus that she has no reason to go after her, and that she has many targets before Taurus.

Taurus weighing her options, and looking at Pisces, decides that Pisces looks like she can last much longer than she (Taurus) can, so Taurus agrees and drops.

With that Pisces is the new HOH, she jumps down excitedly and takes the key from Virgo!

The house is much more relaxed throughout the night for the houseguests compared to the week previous. It seems that everyone is becoming much more adjusted to the house, well, except for one houseguest.

Aquarius completely isolates herself, even from her own alliance member, Cancer, this ends up continuing throughout the week, resulting in Cancer looking toward her Alliance with Scorpio more, and ending her Alliance with Aquarius as the week goes on.

Pisces plots in the HOH what her move as the most powerful person in the house (for the week), will be. She considers the events of the previous week as well as her position so far in the house. She considers who she is not close to and who would be an easy target. Would it be easy to nominate Taurus and go back on their deal, or would that be too big a move week 2?

The houseguests await in anticipation as Pisces begins the ceremony. Pisces explains her thought process, being that it is early in the game and she would like to go after people who have caused too much trouble in the house and people she hasn’t had any connection with so far.

Pisces nominates Capricorn who she doesn’t particularly like, and who got so close to winning this week HoH. In the name of water sign on water sign crime, Pisces nominates Scorpio, who she feels made too many waves in the house the previous week with her outburst.

While Capricorn did not want to be nominated, he understands why he was and regrets giving up to early in the HoH. Scorpio is slightly upset feeling she had made progress in the house, but she is determined to win the veto.

With that said Scorpio isn’t against also using some social game to help her. As a game move she begins flirting with Aries.

Will this actually help her game? or will people notice this and try to get a budding showmance out before they grow too strong?

The day seems to go by fast, as the house begins veto selections.

Pisces decides to choose Cancer when she draws houseguest’s choice, as they have water sign solidarity.

Soon after the veto ceremony a blowout happens between Aries and Gemini as Aries sent Gemini some anon hate but forgot to turn on anon in doing so 😳

Gemini vows that he will win the PoV and use it to get Aries out because of this. Scorpio sees this and becomes worried due to her getting close to Aries as part of her social game.

The houseguests prepare for a battle as it seems Gemini is vying hard for this veto.

In a reminder to the houseguests to remember their first impressions of each other the veto is Clockwork in which houseguests must remember events in the house in order.

Cancer had the least points, realizing he needs to not make waves in the house this early, throwing the competition. Aquarius gets the second least points, she is still too struggling emotionally, making performing in competitions hard. Who knew air signs could be this distraught. Pisces, not having  great memory finishes forth, leaving the two nominees and a Gemini, who is still stuck on removing Aries from this house.

Not as in tune with the house or the house events, Capricorn comes in third. Leaving it to Scorpio and Gemini

The last two contestants were separated by just one point. However, it seems like Geminis want to get Aries out

WAS JUST ENOUGH! Gemini just barely beats Scorpio. Scorpio is concerned that her brief flirtation with Aries may result in her staying on the block.

After the veto, Gemini goes to Pisces trying to convince her to put Aries on the block as a new nominee. Pisces agrees, but is not convinced that she should play into Gemini’s game.

Before the nomination ceremony Pisces keeps a careful eye on the current nominees, Aries, and Gemini. It is then she notices that Gemini and Sagittarius seem to talk a lot. She is not completely convinced they are an alliance, but is concerned that a duo may be budding.

Going into the veto ceremony Pisces considers her options. Pisces begins to realize she dislikes many people in the house including Sagittarius, so she could potentially get out an early duo, or she could play into Gemini’s game in hopes that he might protect her. She is unsure going back and forth up until the ceremony where inevitably the Veto will be used.

Gemini begins the ceremony where he reminds the houseguests that he promised to win the veto, which he followed through on, and he promised to use the veto, which he is going to follow through on by using it on one of the nominees.

He then uses the veto on Scorpio. He is closer to Scorpio than he is Capricorn, and he believes Capricorn would be a smaller target than Aries should Pisces follow his wishes.

Pisces gets up to name the replacement nominee. She quickly decides its best to play her own game and she nominates Sagittarius. She notes that they don’t get along while not mentioning her suspicions about Sagittarius and Gemini.

Sagittarius is unbothered.

As eviction night comes closer, Capricorn is confident that Sagittarius is a much bigger target than him, so he doesn’t campaign as much. Meanwhile, Gemini plots a plan to keep Sagittarius and Sagittarius quietly campaigns to the rest of the houseguests.

Meanwhile, Virgo borrows Leo’s most prized possession, his mirror.

however, Virgo accidentally drops the mirror completely shattering the glass. This leaves Leo in tears. He lays in his bed dramatically crying while holding the remnants of his favorite mirror.

Taurus, seeing this, concerned about Leo, goes to comfort him. She points out that he will then be able to buy an even better mirror if he wins the game and that he doesn’t need a mirror to look great. Leo is appreciative and they grow especially close during what turns into a beautiful night of bonding.

Just before eviction, unsure about how votes will go, Sagittarius goes to Pisces. She knows that Pisces isn’t particularly fond of anyone, but says that she wouldn’t target her in the game if she won HoH.

Pisces considers this.

The eviction ceremony begins. Sagittarius points out that Capricorn has been much closer to winning competitions than she has, and that she is not a threat. Capricorn makes a joke in his speech and says that he wouldn’t go after anyone but Pisces if he stays in the house.

Aquarius begins voting, voting to evict Capricorn after considering Sagittarius’ speech.

Aries not impressed with Capricorn’s speech and knowing he is closer to Sagittarius, votes to evict Capricorn.

Cancer also votes to evict capricorn, and Gemini, doesn’t know what to do despite being an alliance with Sagittarius but manages to still evict Capricorn who is not his ally.

Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, and Virgo all vote to evict Sagittarius.

But that leaves a vote of 4 to 4 meaning Pisces has to break the tie.

Pisces stands up, carefully considering her options, and ultimately decides to

evict capricorn who has not spoken to her over Sagittarius. She believes she knows where Sagittarius’ head is at and thinks it’s better to keep a non-wildcard in the house.

Capricorn is not bothered by his eviction and leaves the house calmly, hugging people quickly and saying goodbyes.

The houseguests watch as Capricorns picture goes black and white, preparing for the week to come.

No Shame

Mad patted his pocket to make sure the object was still there as he went into the living room, knowing they only had one and it was only for emergencies and was potentially dangerous but...he needed it, they all needed it. 

“I’ll start making some food for us,” Wilford said. JJ was being held by Wilford but JJ was holding him back, two arms wrapped around one of Wilford’s. “Some grilled cheese and popcorn and I’ll play a nice movie.” 

Mad found himself watching the moment, chest burning with what he knew was jealousy and he quickly shoved that feeling down and went to his laptop. He crouched down and saw that the program was done and after pressing enter, he was finally able to see what the numbers meant. 

It was an address. 

They found her again.

And this time they were all going to be prepared. 

“One...Two…” Mad started to slowly count out loud. 

“Wait, what’s going on?” Edward heard Mad counting.

“Four...Five...six…” 

“Care to give any context, Phantom?” Edward asked, snapping his fingers to get Phantom’s attention away from the phone. 

“What’s up?” Phantom pressed send on his text.

“Eight...Nine...”

“Oh, he’s gonna do the thing.”

“What thing!?” Edward was soon answered by Mad’s sudden laughter. 

“Of course it was an address, what else could it have been?” Mad tapped at his cheek. “I don’t get how those two managed to hide it in literally five layers of decoding systems, but they did.” Mad was bouncing a little on his feet. 

“I heard the laugh. How deep is he?” Mare asked as he came into the room; Chase, Marvin, Anti, and Robbie were behind them. Dark came in last with CJ and RJ attached to his arms.  

“I’m gonna say all the way.” Phantom shrugged and went back to texting. 

“There you two are!” Mad was gone in a puff of purple smoke and he was in front of CJ and RJ. “You are a lot smarter than people would think, you’re minds are so interesting and complicated that no one could ever comprehend beyond a basic understanding.” 

“Thank you?” RJ said. 

“Oh, is this that…hyper, thing?” Jackie asked, not reacting when Mad was now in front of him. 

“Yep, although this is a little different than when you guys met me for the first time. This is a personally induced hyper-reaction to everything happening due to extreme physical and emotional exhaustion and I need to let it run its course for a little bit before cutting it short so that I do not fully shut down for the rest of my existence.”

“Wait, this isn’t your normal-” 

“Nope.” Mad interrupted Mare and was in front of him. “It’s that emergency reaction that I’ve explained to you before.” 

“You said that wasn’t safe.” 

“It’s not.” Mad giggled and was gone again, sitting next to JJ and Wilford. “Oh! Looking at you reminded me to do something before I have no courage to do so.” Mad said when he saw JJ. He popped back over to Mare and grabbed his face, pulling him in for a kiss. 

“Holy shit!” Phantom cursed and ended up dropping the phone. 

“That’s unexpected,” Dark commented. Everyone else in the room stunned but Jackie rubbed at his neck and looked away. 

“I need to rethink my theory even more,” Chase said to Marvin. 

“Just a little,” Marvin said back. 

“Hey, there are children here,” Anti said, using his hands to cover Robbie’s eyes when Mad got a little too into the kiss. 

“Hoh, shit!” Mad laughed when he finally parted the kiss. “Is that what a kiss is supposed to feel like?” Mad popped over to Jackie. “Sorry about that.” Mad patted Jackie’s shoulder twice and was now net to JJ again. “Remember when I did that to you? That was more of a ‘let’s piss off the man who smells like candy’, so no offense when I saw I liked Mare’s more.” 

“Sure it was.” JJ signed with a little smile on his lips. Both Mad and Wilford laughed at that.

“Hello, Earth to Mare.” Phantom waved a wand in front of a fully stunned Mare’s face. His cheeks were bright red and it was clear he was not ready nor expecting that. 

“And I’m the one that can’t handle romance?” Dark said, looking at Wilford, who was still laughing his head off. 

“Alice is going to hate this and I love it.” Mad stood up and fumbled towards the middle of the room. “She worked so hard to fuck with us, to mess with our heads and our bodies and I’m about to ruin that...or at least as much as I can.” Mad reached into his pocket. “If this doesn’t work. At least I got to have a little bit of fun before I went.” 

“Wait, what does that mean?” Jackie asked and Mare snapped out of his trance. 

“Wait, Mad, you don’t have to.”

“Nah, I think I do.” Mad rolled his head and started to laugh again. He pulled out what looked like an EpiPen. “One, two, three!” Mad let out a shout and everyone felt a strange rush of energy hit them. Mad screamed this time and stabbed his thigh with the EpiPen. He gasped loudly and fumbled down to his knees, panting. 

“What in the fuck just happened?” Anti asked. 

“Was that an...adrenaline shot?” Henrik was patting at his chest. 

“I feel like someone just injected coffee into my veins,” Chase said. 

“Who needs espresso when you got that?” Wilford chuckled. 

“Mad!” Mare rushed over to Mad and knelt down next to him. “Hey, hey, are you okay?” 

“Never better.” Mad weakly laughed. 

“I thought you were the smart one.” Phantom scoffed. “Fuckin’ scaring us like that.”

“Aw, did you worry about me?” Mad teased. 

“I will shove my foot down your throat.” 

“At least clean them first.” 

“I have never been so thankful to hear your sarcasm.” Mare rubbed at his face. 

“No need to be dramatic,” Mad said with a soft smile. “You knew I was going to be fine.” 

“Please don’t make out again.” Anti turned Robbie away. Jackie went over to the laptop and saw the numbers and letters, recognizing them right away. 

“That’s an address,” Jackie said. “You found her.” 

“Yeah.” Mad got up and Mare got up with him. “We can get her.” 

“Let’s get ready then,” Dark stated. “And I want a full explanation for what the hell just happened.” 

“I think I can handle that,” Mad said.

Fam-ILY au headcanons post!

listen I love them a lot and I want to talk about them even if no one else really cares

Character Designs

Sleepover/Movie Night for the boys

The Picani Family

the Picanis have a day once every week where they all watch a few episodes of Avatar together. tis law.

Emile is genderfluid!! So sometimes they're Patton and Dee's dad, sometimes they're thier mom, sometimes they're their ren. Patton and Dee tend to just call them their dad though, just cause it's easier to explain to the other kids. And it doesn't cause Emile any issues so they don't mind. They were a pronoun braclet a lot. (tbh they're really just happy their kids sees them as a role model.) (He/Him, She/Her, They/Them, depends on the day)

Patton likes to play with his stuffed animals a lot!

his favorite blanket is his weighted blanket

Dee is HoH so the entiree family knows ASL and he wears hearing aids.

Dee's very passionate about octonauts and his favorite episode was the coral reef snake one. (his favorite character is tweak)

Patton and Dee are bio siblings but they're both adopted by Emile. Emile had a partner during the adoption but they broke up a few years later and he(the partner) never offically had any custody.

at the start of the storyline (maybe writing a fic) they just moved and Emile and him broke up.

Emile keeps pictures of them in his wallet and Will talk about them whenever someone asks.

Emile is a children's therapist in this AU, and specifically works with kids who deal with learning disabilities.

The Kingsley Family

When Remy was like. 17 he got in a relationship with this one girl and they did the do. When the twins were born, she left. He hasn't heard from her since.

His family wasn't that supportive except his Great Aunt Becca who's a wonderful woman. She lived with her partner for years until she died a year or two before Remy moved in.

So they all live with her now.

Roman likes to sew little costumes for his stuffed animals. Remy helps.

Roman begged Remy to let him join dance classes. Remy doesn't currently have the money to take so he's saving up to let him.

Remus is in that weird kid phase? You know the one where they're weirdly obsessed with like. Death and witches and shit? He's in that phase.

He also makes "potions" and shit outta stuff in the kitchen. 50% of them are probably poisonous. Remy lets him drink absolutely none of them.

Remy's Bi and proud. He hasn't really dated anyone since he was 17 but. He's open to dating again. But only if his boys like them.

Remy works at a few different places. He's the manager at a coffee shop when the boys are at school and at night when they sleep he works at a gas station. Neither has great pay but he's doing his best.

Roman and Remus have very active imaginations. It has led to them waking up Remy or Becca due to monsters in the closet more than they like.

Disney! And! Pixar! Movie! Nights!

Remy and Aunt Becca have most definitely made scrapbooks of the boys together. (even though Remy might deny it to keep up his tough guy image)

The Cogsworth Family

Brian showed the boys some of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Logan fell in love with the show immediately. Virgil doesn't like it as much but he likes to see Logan excited so he watches it too.

Virgil freaking Loves Gravity Falls though. He likes to try and find monsters in the apartment complex and nearby park. He swears he heard a hide behind once. (Brian played the sound effect on his phone and placed a speaker in a tree to make him happy)

Logan only likes certain textures with clothes so Brian makes sure that when they go clothes shopping Logan feels them first.

Logan has a prosthetic foot (it doesn't show in the family portrait because his socks and shoes cover it up) ((he also has a barbie doll because her leg was a prosthetic))

Virgil likes to draw a lot, especially monsters and stuff that he sees on tv. It's really cute looking half of the time but sometimes it kinda worries Brian.

Brian is Trans! And Aro/Ace. The kids are his. He had them pre-transition. His family wasn't supportive of him transitioning so he doesn't really talk to them. Has been on T for 5 years. (He/Him)

Brian's a bit of a space nerd so he likes to watch documentaries on them and the kids will often curl up on him and watch too.

Brian's compiter has a metric fuckton of baby photos of the boys!

They go to the park because he tries to keep them as healthy as possible and hopefully his kids will make friends. Both are painfully shy.

He's a security guard/Janitor for Walmart's l a t e shifts.

The Sanders Family

Thomas isn't adopted y e t but god is Anton working on the paper work for that because bitch that's their son now and they love him.

Thomas still is the goofy guy we know, happy, enjoys Disney, likes to sing and stuff.

Since Thomas is old enough to join the school choir he did and he loves it.

Anton and Thomas met the others because Emile was Thomas's therapist and once Anton asked Emile the best thing he could do for their kid and Emile commented on how that they knew it was scary, cause they had the same thoughts when they adopted their kids.

Emile is no longer Thomas's therapist due to him no longer being impartial since that's his kids friend and that's kinda iffy so now their friend is.

Anton is nb and pan-romantic ace. (He/Him, They/Them)

Both of them are kinda chaotic at times and sometimes you can find the two of them trying desperately to bake but there's batter on the ceiling and flour in Anton's hair. (they can't bake but anton can cook so it's okay)

When Thomas gets adopted all the others will be invited to see the signing.

Thomas didn't get to watch most Disney movies while in Foster care so Anton is showing him everything.

He also didn't get to see the Barbie movies so guess what else he's watching because Anton insists.

Anton still has an appreciation for fine arts and has a painting hanging up in his Living room framed and right next to it in just as fancy a frame is a drawing Thomas made. (it's a family portrait that Thomas made with stick figures. When he gave it to Anton, Anton c r i e d.)

Thomas has two friends from before he writes to, Joan and Tayln. He writes them letters every few days. They write back and everytime he gets one he's like!!!!!

Anton's the most well off of anyone in the squad so he tends to give gifts to the others when they find something.

All of them

The Parent Group are all very supportive of their kids interests, and also have meetups while the boys have playdates where the drink they're preferred hot drink (Emile likes Tea, Remy and Anton like Coffee, and Brian likes Apple Cider) and bitch about the shitty PTA moms and work (not emile though he loves his job and has patient confidentiality so... no)

Roman and Logan both love Percy Jackson but in different ways. Logan read all the books. Roman read the comic book adaptions and listened to the Lightning Thief Musical.

Virgil and Patton like to hunt for monsters together in the apartment complex and park but everytime it happens they both get a little scared and run if something actually looks spooky.

When all the kids became friends they had Patton teach them ASL secretly for a couple of months to surprise Dee. They showed Dee and he c r i e d. Happy tears of course but he was so surprised that all of them learned that for him.

Virgil, Dee, Remus, and Roman all have the same Recess break on the little kids playground so they play pretend together a lot. Usually it's Roman and Virgil vs Remus and Dee, but sometimes they switch it up.

Patton, Thomas, and Logan are the Big Kids, but also are kinda the weird kids too so they don't have much friends outside of the group. But it's okay, because they got each other and they like to hang out.

Patton has punched some kids cause they made fun of either his friends or Dee or maybe his Dad. He will throw hands. Logan might hold him back. Thomas will hold him back but only after a punch or two.

Remy once joked about having one brain cell in front of the kids and all the kids who weren't his got very alarmed and started to make him realize he was smart but Roman and Remus went: yeah you do. He's never been so heavily burned before or since.

Roman and Remus don't do the weird twins finishing each other's sentences thing but Logan and Virgil do.

Patton still makes puns but not good ones because kid's humor is nonsensical so half of the time he'll go up to Logan and Thomas and try them on them and every time they're both like "???? what did you just say????????"

They will all go and do fashion shows where Roman and Remus will take the others and drape them in sheets and cutains and blankets and have everyone walk the fake runway while someone sits out and judges.

Remus, Dee, and Virgil try to do magic together. It doesn't always go well but they try.

Roman, Patton, and Logan will try to play demigod but Patton has no clue what he's doing.

Roman and Remus showed Thomas some Disney sing alongs he could play on his tablet. Anton thinks their son has a lovely singing voice but also. they doesn't like hearing him sing at 6 am when they're barely awake. Can someone hold a grudge against a kindergartner? Ask Anton.

I was really lucky and got to go to PAX Aus this year, and had a lot of fun. The people there were great, and it’s also amazing to see how not only Queer it is, but also the fact I see more other disabled people at PAX than I do any other con.

I was working just out of the Diversity Lounge for the first half of Saturday, and then got to go around on the second half and on Sunday; a lot of the bigger demo stalls were disappointing (stairs), but I still had fun.

I also went to a d/Deaf / HoH Accessibility in Gaming talk—ironically with no d/Deaf / HoH accessibility. It was uncaptioned (except during their demos), and uninterpreted. Or would have been if a professional terp hadn’t been attending, and immediately started to.

I was able to buy a decent amount of stuff too, which was so nice!

[A neatly laid out arrangement of things bought from PAX, on a blue and white kaleidoscope pattern duvet cover. There is a black patch with yellow lettering reading “PAX 2019 AUS” sitting top-centre of everything, and underneath a long rainbow lanyard with a Special Guest badge attached to the end, which has a yellow sticker that says “xe / xem” on it. There are many different enamel pins on the lanyard, including an awua pronoun pin with they / them on it, a fluffy orange cat, and ice-cream sandwich P-A-X badges sitting vertically along the strap. Below is a black lanyard, facing the opposite way, that says “Republic of Games. PAX 2019. AMD Ryzen Radeon. Below that again is a folded jacket with a space-themed back design on it, which says “PAX” at the top, the A as a yellow space rocket, and at the bottom “Saturn 3018”; the design shows Saturn in orange and its rings, like the rest of the design, in aqua. Next to that is a set of pins in a piece of yellow card that says “Pinny Arcade” in cursive; the badges are three pronoun badges, one a pink-red with he / him pronouns, one green with she / her pronouns, and one same as was on the lanyard, and underneath is a rainbow striped PAX pin, which was also on the lanyard. Next is a blue T-shirt with a D20 shape in teal with a 1 in the centre, and white text over it that reads “I feel shame as a bonus action”. Underneath the Pinny Arcade pins are two sets of polyhedral dice, both with gold numbers; one set is a shiny light purple, and the other is a sparkly blue-green.]

The dice came from Random Encounter Dice and they’re really pretty and nice—and definitely lucky because I dropped one at one point and instead of losing it to the abyss, it fell into my boot.

[Two photos side-by side, one of a set of shiny light purple polyhedral dice with gold numbers, sitting on a blue and white kaleidoscope duvet cover and inside a rainbow, pin-filled lanyard so they don’t roll away. The top of the lanyard shows the under side of it is the trans pride flag, which is ordered blue, pink, white, pink, blue, in a goopy pattern, similar to the rainbow side’s design. The other photo is also a near-set of polyhedral dice, a glittery dark blue-green with gold lettering, surrounded by same lanyard, more of the trans pride side visible. The D4 is missing.]

The Signs as Things that Happened Week Two

Aries: Kemi exposing Bella and Nick in her eviction speech + Julie saying “that was quite a speech”

Taurus: Jack slipping up and name dropping the Gr8tful alliance in front of Sam. Further convincing Sam to flip against the majority.

Gemini: Bella exposing literally every single alliance to every person from the Black Widows to Gr8tful because she can’t stop talking

Cancer: Bella being with Nick who likes Analyse who is with Jack who likes Christie who looks like his ex who is also a lesbian

Leo: Analyse making fun of Kat for sleeping with Jackson in the house before sleeping with Jack in the shower week two. Followed by, just like Kat, being pushed aside for another women.

Virgo: David being the most attuned person I’m the house despite just arriving, as well as being a recruit who actually learned from past seasons (ex; recognizing Gr8tful as Level 6 and everyone else on the outfit)

Libra: Jack getting his HOH letter from his coworker because nobody in his life actually likes him aside from some guy at his work.

Scorpio: Sam working his ass off to flip the votes to save Kemi when he realizes he’s on the outside of the majority alliance. Even if he came up short.

Sagittarius: Kat getting fed up with how she’s being treated and openly shit talking the people she still thinks she’s working with. Also her warming up to David and Kemi when she is more distant from Holly and Jackson.

Cappicorn: For the second week in a row people are campaigning and fighting hard in the game, even if it doesn’t work out it’s nice to see

Aquarius: Jackson convincing Jess to pick him for the power of veto only for him to get injured in the competition

Pisces: Kemi realizing that Nicole has her back and becoming the person she trusts the most, whole Bella’s rat game got exposed once and for all to Kemi.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the Universe wants you on the block.

Okay, Sunday night let’s do this. Tommy the Rocket is HoH. I want to be happy for him…but he’s still connected to Christie hardcore. Oh and he wants to get the 6 back together and stronger than before, I can’t even at how stupid that is.

Jessica is happy with herself, and she’s sure the six broke up but fears with Tommy as HoH they’ll get back together.

You know, I’m all for positive thinking and all that but if the Universe couldn’t help Kaitlyn last season, why they hell is it helping Christie of all people?

Cliff fears he’ll go up against Jackson.

Kathryn believes this is worst case scenario is Tommy putting her up.

Jackson and Holly discuss possible nominations, including that Tommy sticking with Christie is a deathblow in this game.

Jackson tells Tommy he needs to play his own game. Tommy reveals he has no intention of going after any of the six shooters.

Christie makes her play to get in Tommy’s ear. He wants to put up Kat and Cliff, but that’s exactly what she wants.

Tommy says Kat is the most dangerous player in the house, she’s a comp beast. Cut to a clip of Kat washing her hair and making it into a shampoo Unicorn hair, because that’s just what us goofy girls do.

Cliff attempts to keep his butt off the block.

Guys, we have a grown ass adult man begging for his game life from a man dressed up like a rocket. What is this mess?

Kat’s freaking out, tells Jackson and he gives her a friendly hug while she tries not to cry.

She goes to beg for her life and to be kept off the block.

Field Trip time!

CBS posted the comp on YouTube like seriously 2 minutes after I finished writing the recap for it.

The 3 houseguests voted on by America will compete against each other. 1st place is safe this week. 2nd place gets a punishment and 3rd gets nominated.

Jackson is excited he got selected.

Analyse is shocked that America knew who she was.

Christie is the final face to appear.

Jackson knows what’s up and that he’s not America’s favorite. Christie is in tears—SUCK IT UP BITCH.

Christie is freaking out the way she tends to. Analyse says she can throw this and no one would vote her out.

Comp Time! Chicken Wire and Egg comp. We’ve seen it before, with the added twist of using the egg to knock down the letters S-A-F-E.

“I refuse to believe that America hates me, I barely even talk.” Analyse.

Jackson tells them they got picked because they’re hated. Christie agrees.

Jackson is the first to knock down all four letters and is safe for the week.

Analyse is done throwing the comp and is tired of how embarrassing your performance is.

Jackson secretly tells Analyse how to get the egg down when Christie is distracted.

Analyse comes in second and gets a punishment.

Christie is on the block as the third nominee.

Dear Christie, the Universe is sending you a message. It’s time for you to get evicted. And yes America hates you. Suck it up buttercup.

Tommy tries to convince them that it’s not because America hates them. Jackson is all, “Yes it is.”

Jackson, Holly, Cliff are all gunning for Christie now that she’s on the block.

Analyse goes to see Tommy. She tells him she tried to throw it, and Christie just wasn’t doing it.

Tommy is freaking out. He thinks its outrageous that Christie could go home on his HoH.

Analyse is a Chicken for the next week now. She seems to be in good spirits about it.

Nicole apparently has a fear of birds and is now terrified of Analyse.

Kat comes to chat with Tommy, and she knows what’s up and must come up with a deal.

Tommy is torn.

Nominations Time!

Tommy nominates Cliff and Kat because of course he did.

He says its nothing personal, just game.

Kat starts tearing up at the table.

Cliff hopes to win the Veto so Christie goes home.

Kat feels like a mess in her reaction for the week.

Christie is the biggest mess of all. Take it as a message from the universe.

TDP’s portrayal of Deafness & Deaf Culture through Amaya: PART ONE

So.. yesterday was the last day of Deaf Awareness Week lol. I’ve been working on this & part 2 and was planning on posting it yesterday, but obviously that didn’t work out as I didn’t finish them on time.

I know I said in my previous posts that this one would be about lipreading, but I decided that I would also talk about Deaf culture & TDP’s portrayal of Amaya. This post will be split into two parts: the first part will be about the authenticity of her portrayal, and the second part will be about how it is imperfect.

First. The portrayal of Amaya’s character & her deafness, while imperfect, is honestly incredibly refreshing to see compared to other portrayals in media. The entertainment media often will “cut corners” when it comes to portraying deaf people. They portray them as being able to hear some, speak some, & lipread as their primary mode of communication. This results in very little use of ASL, because it’s easier that way. Ta da! Less effort needed. Essentially, dDeaf people who are able to lipread/speak/hear some, are more likely to appear on television than Deaf people who cannot hear or speak & rely on ASL.

So yes, while TDP’s portrayal is imperfect, Amaya’s character is very refreshing to see. They actually put in effort to make Amaya appear as authentic as possible. For once, I’m seeing a Deaf character on television who doesn’t speak, can’t hear, & uses ASL as her primary mode of communication. Like me!! I really, really didn’t expect that, & least of all for her to use ASL. So yeah I’m stoked about her.

Now, it’s important to know that the Deaf community is diverse. Not all dDeaf/HoH people are the same! Some dDeaf people are profoundly deaf, like me, then others may have some hearing that varies on differing levels. Some are raised in oral education, others mainstream (public schools), or in deaf schools. Many are born to hearing families, others to strong intergenerational Deaf families (these Deaf people usually are very VERY strong, culturally & ASL-wise). Not all people with hearing loss are involved in the Deaf community/culture/world. 

I don’t want it to seem like I’m ignoring or excluding all the dDeaf/HoH people involved with the Deaf culture/community; who may be here on Tumblr & fit those descriptions lol.

To me, Amaya comes across as someone who is culturally Deaf. She practically screams, I’M DEAF AND PROUD. She isn’t some character that they just halfheartedly slapped the “deaf” label on for bonus points. This is great, as it shows that they really did their research & listened to the Deaf people they consulted. Honestly, they & the ASL interpreters deserve all of our thank-yous.

Oh, and I posted a translation of Amaya’s signing a while back as well btw.. COUGH COUGH. Lol.

The Good Parts:

Pretty accurate usage & portrayal of ASL syntax.

This shows their understanding that:

ASL is not just “English in sign”, or a “translation” of English. It is its own legitimate language: completely different with its own grammar structure, morphology, phonology (known as the 5 parameters), etc.

Examples of ASL syntax, courtesy of Amaya:

“BREAKFAST MOST IMPORTANT MEAL DAY.”

“FOOD HERE IS... *bangs stale bread on counter* HARD LIKE STEEL.” {weapons-grade}

[Rayla’s interrogation]

“YOU TWO? *gesture* MANY THERE YOU ARE?”

“LIE YOU” *points at Rayla*

[Escape scene]

“CALLUM, EZRAN, COME” *points at the space next to her*

“OKAY, YOU. I KILL MONSTERS BEFORE.”

“IF ELF KNOW WE FOLLOW THEM, KILL BOYS. NEED CAREFUL.” *points in their direction*

[Memorial/Grave scene]

“HELLO BIG SISTER. YOU MY HERO. PERFECT, STRONG, ENDURING, HEART-SOFT {compassionate/gentle}, AND REALLY SORRY BIG SISTER. I FAIL YOU. I SONS SAFE WITH BUT GONE/MISSING.”

Note: ASL grammar does not use BE verbs (am, is, are, was, were) or articles ( (a, an, the), & it does not use tenses like English does either. Word order is different from English as well. More info on ASL grammar here if anyone is interested. 

How to get a Deaf person’s attention.

Hint: you don’t yell. The best (and polite) way to get a Deaf person’s attention is to gently tap them on the shoulder.

We’ve only seen one scene of this so far, where Callum and Ezran is behind Amaya as she walks into the lodge. Because Amaya is deaf, with little to no hearing it seems, obviously Callum can’t just call her name to get her attention. So what does he do? He goes up and knocks on the shield Amaya is wearing on her back, and Amaya feels the vibrations and reacts immediately by turning around. This was a very tiny, quick scene, but I liked seeing that. :)

The job of the interpreter. (Psst. The correct terminology is INTERPRETER, not translator. Interpreters translate languages orally & in this case, into ASL. Translators deal with written text. This is just a peeve of mine since I am seeing many people refer to Gren as a “translator”.)

Contrary to [apparently????] popular belief, interpreters are not necessarily “stoic”, monotonous, etc. (I read that they were originally going to make him into comic relief.. I’m really glad that they didn’t.) Gren’s profession is a sign language interpreter. It is his job to interpret what Amaya is saying (and his job should be ALSO to interpret FOR Amaya at all times tbh... but I’ll get to that later in Part 2).

While it is the interpreter’s job to voice for Deaf people, this also means that they shouldn’t merely just say the words but to emote vocally as well, otherwise it’d appear that the interpreter & the Deaf person have no personality. It is their responsibility to deliver the appropriate emotion & tone that best fits what/how the Deaf person is conveying through ASL. So yeah, that is literally Gren’s job.

It is also his job to interpret what other people are saying, for Amaya’s benefit. Which is why I thought that the scene when Gren immediately jumps in to interpret for Amaya when she had her back turned towards Viren was an excellent demonstration of appropriate interpreting ethics. I would honestly like to see more of that in TDP, as that is the only scene we’ve gotten of Gren interpreting for Amaya.

Name Signs.

They are not nicknames. They are personal names, unique to each person who is a member of the Deaf community. This is an important & traditional aspect of Deaf culture. One isn’t just born with a name sign, of course-- it is assigned to them. It is a part of the Deaf cultural identity.

ANYONE can become a part of the Deaf community, including hearing people. However, hearing people/non-native signers should not pick or invent a name sign for themselves, as that is something reserved for a Deaf person to do. And in Deaf culture, it would be considered improper as well. Essentially, a culturally Deaf person assigns a name sign to a new non-native member of the community. It is considered a gift, something that is given to someone else and could be seen as a way of welcoming them into the community. The reason why it is like this, is because the creation of name signs actually has rules. << A link to an article/video that explains this, if anyone is interested lol.

However, not everyone has a name sign. Some may even choose not to have one-- meaning that their names would be fingerspelled, especially for those with names that have less than four letters.

There are two types of name signs: initialized/arbitrary & descriptive.

Initialized name signs use the first letter of your name from the manual alphabet. Descriptive name signs use classifier handshapes. Both may also be based on the receipent’s physical characteristics (this however, is more common in descriptive name signs. Initialized name signs usually doesn’t really have a meaning).

In TDP, it is shown that some characters have name signs (initialized), likely gifted by Amaya herself. Examples:

Callum: Initialized, in the handshape of a “C” & location is on the forehead  towards the side. [In Amaya’s introductory scene, his name was initially fingerspelled & now I think it was done as to emphasize Amaya’s bewilderment at Callum’s yelling.]

Ezran: Initialized, hand in the handshape of a “E” & location is on the side of the chin.

Corvus: Initialized, in the handshape of a “C” and tapped once on the head near the forehead.

Viren: Initialized, in the handshape of a “V” and tapped on the forehead near the brow.

We’re seeing a trend here huh, lol. They showed the sign names so fast, I had to rewatch the scenes several times to make sure I got them. No sign name for Gren yet... but then, his name is only four letters.

Facial expressions and mouth movements.

In Deaf culture & when using ASL, facial expression is a must. The expressions one makes when signing will affect the meaning of that sign. It is also a part of ASL phonology, also known as the Five Parameters of ASL. Within the 5 parameters, facial expressions are known as non-manual markers.

I personally thought that for this type of animation, they did a decent job with Amaya’s facial expressions and using that to further convey her intended message through ASL.

(For example, when she says “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, that was a comedic moment but you could see that she was serious, due to her facial expression and body language. And then when she said “Don’t worry, I’ve slain monsters before”? Her facial expression as she signs “I’ve slain monsters before”... that was superb & chilling imo!)

As for mouth movements.. she moves her mouth of course, accordingly with her facial expressions. But she doesn’t mouth out the words as she signs. Many Deaf people DO mouth words [occasionally, sometimes, or frequently] as they sign-- I am guilty of this actually. But not all of them do... I know that her not speaking & this has likely confused many people into thinking that she’s mute, but this is in fact common for many culturally Deaf people (aka those who were born & raised in intergenerational Deaf families and thus are extremely strong in their identity, language, and culture). So I thought it was absolutely excellent that she didn’t mouth words at all. I’m aware it was probably also because it was easier on the creators lol.

PART TWO

[This one has the section on lipreading btw lol]

[rennyforpresident]

Renny’s BBSim: Second Chances Week 7: When It Rains, It Pours

Welcome back to Biiiiiiiiiig Brother!

@brentrobinson @cirie-sandra-michaela @flopbb-22 @flungevictee @fucklauryn @iantxrry @kaysarswhore @maxdoesbb @music-obsessednerd @pawn2393 @paymeincashnottears @phylisisley @rennyforpresident @swampassthing @wheremy--demons--hide

Jury:  @theminionjcfucked

Previously, @theminionjcfucked was evicted over @iantxrry. @cirie-sandra-michaela, @fucklauryn, and @flopbb-22 were on the wrong side of the vote; was it strategy? Was it tomfoolery? Was it something more? 

Have any of our alliances shifted in the house?

We’re still going strong! Who will @cirie-sandra-michaela choose to side with in the end? Will he have to make that decision this week? Let’s find out

This competition is TOUGH. Not only are these houseguests hanging from disco balls and being swung around in every direction, glitter bombs are going off every 10 minutes.

But on the bright side, Big Brother has paid for the rights to play ABBA’s Greatest Hits during this competition!

The people can’t take the heat! As soon as Waterloo comes on, @cirie-sandra-michaela drops. When Dancing Queen comes on, @paymeincashnottears and @swampassthing just CAN’t help but jump off the disco ball like Meryl Streep jumps off the dock during the musical number in Mamma Mia (2008)! @iantxrry falls shortly after that, and screams so loudly that it spooks @fucklauryn off her disco ball!

Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) starts playing, and the speed of the disco balls picks up! 

@flopbb-22 wanted to win so badly, but just couldn’t hold on. 

The competition is STIFF, but this time, no one wants to make a deal. That’s bad news for @phylisisley, who gets knocked off just as the chorus of Name of the Game starts

The final two both look at each other, and know that neither will put the other up. @kaysarswhore: “Drop? I really need that letter.”

@pawn2393 makes a split decision....

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@kaysarswhore! You are our first TWO TIME HOH of the season! You have secured your safety and earned the right to nominate two of your fellow houseguests for eviction.

@pawn2393 and @kaysarswhore are immediately in the storage room doing a celebration dance.

@kaysarswhore in the DR: “I am SO ready for this week! I can finally play again!”

At the nomination ceremony, @kaysarswhore decides to air it all out to the house.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@kaysarswhore: “I said when I won that I wasn’t going to be afraid to play this week. @fucklauryn, when I nominated you last, you survived! I want to find out if you can pull it off again. @phylisisley, you cannot be trusted. @iantxrry has been feeding me info for the past few weeks, and I know all about the dirty, underhanded game you’ve been playing. You shouldn’t be here, and I hope you leave this week. This ceremony is adjourned.”

@phylisisley immediately gets up after the meeting and gets into a screaming match with @kaysarswhore. This is the kind of shit the announcer would say “see the crazy fallout from the nomination ceremony, next time”. Plates are broken, tables are flipped, even the wall yeller outside the house is afraid.

@fucklauryn in the DR: “Well shit. It’s hard for me to feel bad after watching @kaysarswhore tear @phylisisley apart. She really went in.”

@phylisisley in the DR: “What @kaysarswhore doesn’t know is that I’ll get my revenge. There’s no way in hell I’m letting that bitch take me out. I mean, for fucks sake, there was a PLANE that flew over the house talking bad about her. When I stay and win HOH, it’s OVER.”

Clearly, tensions are running high in the house. That means that the veto is more important than ever

Will one of the nominees save themselves from the block? Will @flopbb-22 work with his bestie @kaysarswhore to keep the noms the same? Will @iantxrry secure her first veto win of the season and shake up the house? Will @paymeincashnottears finally get some screentime? Let’s find out

After the very first round, @paymeincashnottears buzzes in with the incorrect answer! She says “Nomination” instead of “Nominations”, and is eliminated from the competition

Everyone else manages to make it to the end of the competition, but @kaysarswhore and @flopbb-22 fail to score even a single point for themselves

After calculating all of the point totals, in third place with 3 points is....

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@iantxrry. You have not won the power of veto. That means it comes down to our two nominees. The winner of this weeks veto is...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@phylisisley! You have won your second POV! 

Immediately after winning, @phylisisley turns to @kaysarswhore and says “Well how about that? Looks like karma’s got it’s kiss for you, huh?”

Before she can grab the veto, @kaysarswhore grabs it from the pedestal and throws it into the pool. Eventually, it’s fished out and put around @phylisisley‘s neck.

The DRAMAAAAAA of it all!

At the veto ceremony, it’s clear that @phylisisley will use the veto on herself. But with her target off the block, who will @kaysarswhore put up in her place?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

@kaysarswhore: “I really have no other people in this house that I want to see go. @paymeincashnottears, I don’t have a reason to put you up, but I also don’t have a reason to keep you safe. Because of that, I am nominating you.”

@paymeincashnottears in the DR:

Now that the nominees are locked, the houseguests just have to sit and wait for eviction night. While they wait for Thursday,

@swampassthing and @iantxrry bond over having recently survived the block. They realize the power structures in the house right now, and figure out that if they don’t have each other’s backs, they might as well kiss the money goodbye.

While these two bond downstairs, in the HOH room, @kaysarswhore​ and @flopbb-22​ are bonding, too. 

@kaysarswhore​: “Can you believe my absolute shit show of an HOH? I mean I said I wanted to play the game this week, but this is insanity!”

@flopbb-22​: “I know!! And you know who’s to blame?”

Both at the same time: “ @phylisisley​!”

@flopbb-22​: “You know........ there is something we could do.......... I’d be more than happy to do it for you............ let’s

FLIP

THAT

MATTRESS!”

While @phylisisley​ is laying on her bed, @flopbb-22​ comes in a flips the mattress with her still on it. Normally, production would step in, but they wanna see how this one plays out. (Yeah we all know who Grodner’s favorite is this season)

The two argued for a while afterwards, but eventually things settled down.

The next morning, however, @flopbb-22​ woke up devastated. She remembered the events of the night before, and felt so bad that she immediately woke everyone else up and called them to the living room.

@flopbb-22​: “I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, that my behavior in this house has been shameful. @phylisisley​, I hope that there are no hard feelings, and I’m happy to talk privately after this. I promise I’ll stop making this game personal and start being a little more vulnerable with everyone. Love you guys <3″ 

Everyone could feel that @flopbb-22​ was genuine; what reason does he have to lie?

That afternoon, in the backyard, for the SECOND time this season

@kaysarswhore​ gets dragged by America yet again. This time, the banner says

It’s a little hard to read, but the houseguests eventually make it out. @kaysarswhore​ spends the rest of the day in her HOH room being comforted by @flopbb-22​ and @pawn2393​.

Finally, it’s eviction night!

(ignore that it says celebrity sdffdkjlsj)

Julie: “Houseguests! I’ve been told you’ve been getting into some antics this week! I’d love to hear more!

@iantxrry​, what’s been the best part about living in the BB house?”

@iantxrry​: The game! I’ve loved this game my whole life, and getting to play it for a second time is a dream. It’s SO much fun”

Julie: “ @pawn2393​, what has it been like being on slop this season?”

@pawn2393​: “Awful! I honestly just swallow it without chewing; if I can’t taste it, it’s easier that way.”

Julie: “It sounds like you’re all having fun then! Now let’s ruin it with another vote to evict!”

@fucklauryn​: “Round Three! I’ve done this before, and I have to say, I think this one may be my last. @paymeincashnottears​ is a wonderful person, and I could never say a bad thing about them. I genuinely hope you keep me here longer so I can help you all out, but I completely understand and there’s no hard feelings! Good luck to you all, and I look forward to being friends after this!”

@paymeincashnottears​: “Hey guys! I know we’re halfway through now, but I still haven’t gotten into my groove yet! I wanna play this game, and I hope you’ll keep me to let me do that! Love you all!”

Julie: “Wonderful! Let’s vote.”

Of course @cirie-sandra-michaela​ wouldn’t vote out his own ally. But the rest of the first four votes all go to evicting @fucklauryn​.

What? Two more votes to evict @paymeincashnottears​? Could the pawn really be going home? It’s up to @swampassthing​ to break this tie.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Julie: “When I reveal the name of the evicted houseguest, they will have one minute to gather their belongings, say their goodbyes, and exit the Big Brother house.”

.

.

.

Julie: “ @fucklauryn​, come on out!”

Julie: “ @fucklauryn​, this was your third time up, were you ready to go?”

@fucklauryn​: “I wouldn’t say I was ready, but I definitely knew. @paymeincashnottears​ wasn’t a threat, and for some reason everybody thought I was! When you get that label early, it’s just really hard to shake it off.”

Julie: “How do you think the remaining houseguests will play now that you’re gone?”

@fucklauryn​: “Well, of course I’m rooting for my ride or die @cirie-sandra-michaela​. But I can see @phylisisley​ making it far too! She showed how much fight she had in her during that veto comp this week, so it’ll be interesting to see what she does next!”

Julie: “It’s been lovely having you here, thank you so much for playing again.

We’re officially at the halfway point! The game only gets better from here on in. Until next time, from outside the Big Brother house, I’m Julie Chen. Goodnight.”

Okay I actually went nuts writing this this is insane dlfsdjfa;sk. I hope y’all forgive me for making you actually the messiest people on earth

[relaxandlaughatyourself]

Ika Wong was on Reality Recaps March 22, 2019 to discuss bbcan7.

The full interview will be posted on youtube soon. This is a small recap.

Eric wants Ika on the challenge, but Ika says she couldn’t do it.

Anyone she talked to preseason who has changed a lot? Damien she didn’t like, but he is one of the most likeable guys. She’s surprised he won the power both times. Eric also says that Canada feels connected to him, ika says he’s a great representative of First Nations.

As a BB fan, what’s it like getting to have the inside track with her access this year? It’s an extension of her experience, it’s really cool doing it for now. She wants someone else to experience that too. Eric says to let them experience it in 10 years.

Her theory on the blood veto? She thinks you get an advantage but you get blood on your hands, whatever choice you make, the HGs will know it was you.

If she could insert Dem, Cass and Karen in the game, what three would she knock out to put them in? Cass in place of Kyra, working with Chelsea. She changes her mind, Cass and Karen for Kiki and Este, she finds them dull. For Dem in place of Mark, she doesn’t like him.

Karen doesn’t like gamesplaining, Ika’s problem with it is when they have things wrong because they say so much crap but production will show us the one thing they said that was correct.

Differences in plans between bbus and bbcan? Bbus shows her who they’ll be in the house, that’s why it’s easier for her to choose who she’ll root for. Bbcan wants to be politically correct and don’t give her as much, more concerned with image.

Not necessarily a fan of Adam and Sam but they are being themselves and she can appreciate that as a past player, they’re giving them content to talk about.

Should Sam distance herself or include herself in others deals? They’re already targets, even if she got out Adam somehow, she’ll still be a target.

In bbcan history, showmances go far, so should Sam and Adam be targeted now? She has a soft spot for showmances now, so people should use it to their advantage, it’s two votes. Take them out during a DE, but use them before then. The pretty boys see Sam as a threat not an asset.

First to be evicted out of the pretty boys? Anthony or Adam, Mark has better outside relationships, and Dane too.

Pretty Boys is such a bad name, if she had to name them, it would be A Mess.

Eric says that in Canada, guys not having teeth is hot, what does ika think? She asks Dem and he says the teeth thing is more him being goofy and it is a bit of respect, he has friends like that who take their teeth out for fun. Ika says Dem has all of his teeth and Eric says to keep it that way.

Thoughts on Cory’s challenge? Ika thinks she did it well but it sucks she had to, it was so early. Everyone seems to have forgot about it.

Kiki and Mark, is there a showmance? She doesn’t know, doesn’t see it, but she also said she’d never get into one. Kiki would use anyone and anything to get anywhere.

Ika swears that she did not fake her reaction to the rabbit, she didn’t know she was afraid of bunnies. BB did not ask their fears, she probably would have said bugs, never would have thought bunnies. She’s fine with puppies, they just can’t have red eyes, she doesn’t like cats. She secretly judges people who own cats.

Someone asks if she’s required to watch live feeds, she says no, not sure why she would be, she doesn’t watch but will update on Twitter and sometimes put them on.

Most disloyal HG? Dane. And maybe Mark, he cares about himself.

Person in the house who’s most likely to shred a letter from loved ones? Kiki, she wants to be badass.

Thoughts of HOH not playing in POV? She doesn’t like it, should be able to defend your nominees. Ika likes the original rules.

How did she like delivering Wendy’s? She was embarrassed to be in the outfit but it was fun. Did she get a frosty? She didn’t get any food.

What was up with Kevin’s hair? Ika says to ask Kevin and Pili.

Which hg would she align with? Kiki and Este possibly because they’re loyal. Damien needs some guidance and needs someone to trust. Maybe Chelsea too, she thinks she’s smart.

Would ika play again? She says no, she played twice, she gave enough of her and we’ve seen enough of her.

Would she do an all star season? She feels like it’s in her best interest to not. She doesn’t talk to many BB people, and their job would be to get her out. She had fun the last two times and if she went back, she thinks she would be targeted right away. She’s just not in the BB world as much, going in she wouldn’t have established relationships.

What about cbbus and Canada vs US? No. She says she’s not a celebrity, Eric asks if she’s seen the celebrities...

If her kids wanted to, they should. But she knows about the things after and the things people don’t know and she would be scared for that for them.

What one twist would she implement? She wants to bring Pandora’s box back.

She thinks Eddie will go far because he’s not seen as a threat.

Ika doesn’t like how Kailyn lied about her age, every house is different so her reasons weren’t totally valid. She likes that she showed up and played her heart out.

F2? She rolls her eyes and laughs. She can see Este, by the time people see her as a threat it’ll be too late.

Who does she want to leave in the double? One of the pretty boys and one of the boring people.

Wouldn’t have liked being in the house with a psychic. She was shady. She really only liked dem, Karen, Gary, Cass and Dallas early on.

Favorite bbus and bbcan players of all time? She can’t choose just one, there’s different reasons. Dr Will, Danny Donato, the original badass. Rachel Reilly. Josh. Janelle. bbcan, she is more biased because she also knows them and it taints her from giving a true opinion on game player only, she’s biased in her opinion. Ika says she will say Demetres.

Any plans on getting married? “That’s a question for demetres, cause I’m not asking him.” Ika asks Dem if he’ll marry her, and he says yes. Ika says that he’s put on the spot, but Dem says he’s not even on the screen, he’s not on the spot. Eric: “I hear guys like that, being out on the spot on the internet.” So Dem comes on screen and she grabs him by the neck, and shakes him and asks if he’ll marry her, and he chokes out yes.

Did she know the mooch was not a real player? She thought it was weird and she still doesn’t believe he wasn’t a real player.

Someone comments that her interviews are incredible, and Eric agrees, says the start of the season wouldn’t be the same. She thanks the fans for engaging with the interviews.

Ika says she would love to have a partner in the interviews, like Cass and Gary, Eric says to pitch it and she says she did lol

Ika thanks the fans for always supporting her and having her back, the unconditional love.

He brings up her YouTube channel and she says she didn’t want to plug it because they’re not consistent. Eric says everyone needs to watch the chicken nugget challenge. He says it was so funny how she just let Dem do it.

Eric says when jury starts they’ll have her back on.
