#like lauren knows more about me than some irl friends lmao

[selfcarecap]

Honest question (but idk if there’s an answer)

How do people handle having online friends?

:( (can’t think of a better word than handle lol, just like how do people deal w online friends? idk those words all sound negative i just mean how do people go about it? sksj)

I could and would never abandon mine but it does make me sad that it’ll (imo/mostly) never be the same as an irl friendship. Like I just wanna hang out with you and go places and have fun but we live 20000 km away from each other but also I know for a fact even if I found out a really really close mutual lived in my STREET i’d be too nervous to meet them. But yeah it just makes me more sad than happy sometimes if I’m honest bc I like you so much and just wanna hug you and hang out irl but I know we never will

So yeah ig the question is .. how do people not get too attached? Or how do you maintain a healthy distance? Cause yeah it’s obvious that it’s just online but you’re still talking to a real person and my brain is confused lol

ihatemyguts: [Ready for a flimsy excuse to talk lmao] ihatemyguts: Question, would Lauren actually be 👍 or 👎 if I turn up to her stream? ihatemyguts: Couldn't tell inandout: ecstatic inandout: her 👚👕👖🧦 could come off inandout: it's hard to tell if she's joking ihatemyguts: I will 🏃 to 🧼 my 👀 ihatemyguts: and time my tip really well before that potential eventuality inandout: smart move inandout: people pleasing ihatemyguts: She was nice, funny ihatemyguts: no 💩 nosing but yeah, I'm not in a position to be picky inandout: she's good at the "older sister away at uni partying but still there for you" role ihatemyguts: do you have a real one? inandout: I've got a brother, he's older than her and less of a party animal ihatemyguts: Mine too ihatemyguts: he's not as old as her but first date @ 18 isn't far off the vibe inandout: Robbie would call that hella awkward inandout: but I don't think mine has had one yet at 21 inandout: unless it's with a 🤖 he created ihatemyguts: that would be as impressive as it is 😢 inandout: he only likes to flex academically impressive muscles inandout: and believes no girls are interested in that inandout: despite being at uni ihatemyguts: 💔 ihatemyguts: Bless inandout: Lauren would knock his head together with every dream girl of his he's surrounded by until it fell off inandout: I'm a pacifist though ihatemyguts: Brothers are stupid ihatemyguts: his 💭👸 might be the stereotype of a cheerleader that doesn't even exist ihatemyguts: just ⏳⌛️ inandout: wouldn't leave me shooketh to find out you're onto something inandout: he does watch Love Island ihatemyguts: 🧠 representation, man ihatemyguts: you do not always get the girl at the end and if you do, you'll have so little in common you should just put her back inandout: I had a mental image of him just forcing a girl back up onto these high shelves we have in our kitchen inandout: not today, honey ihatemyguts: 😂 ihatemyguts: if only people were shelvable ihatemyguts: keep 'em in storage 'til you're feeling 💯 inandout: + if I'm heroically expected to get her down, the stumbling block is that the 🍪🍬🍭 are kept up there ihatemyguts: she'll have to eat it all to save you right back inandout: a love story inandout: we need to pitch it to Netflix ihatemyguts: I have done so much research for this ihatemyguts: Robyn can write it ihatemyguts: Rich can DEMAND actually disabled actors, and Rosie can ask nicely inandout: you have to be the lead, then the viewers will be on edge of their seats when you eat the 🍪🍬🍭 ihatemyguts: Lauren might 👊 me for it inandout: the spotlight would give her a seizure ihatemyguts: Awh ihatemyguts: lucky teen dramas are so moodily lit ihatemyguts: think twilight not spring breakers inandout: so dark that everyone has to squint and give themselves a headache inandout: dizzying camera angles inandout: getting our own back one symptom at a time ihatemyguts: may have to 🔪🔪 someone to make 'em shit their pants ihatemyguts: but you can nominate your brother, that's cool inandout: let him come back as a 🤖 at the end ihatemyguts: how's his Arnie? inandout: hmmm inandout: borderline racist? inandout: but we're Jewish and he's Austrian, I don't think he'll come for us ihatemyguts: not gonna go zombie for that ihatemyguts: definitely free pass for life on all the racial jokes @ their expense inandout: the shortened life span will help make up for it too ihatemyguts: no 🤖 ending? ihatemyguts: 👎 inandout: abrupt fade to black inandout: hopefully ihatemyguts: Iconic ihatemyguts: see your vision inandout: much as lingering death rattle would be an epic punk band or album name ihatemyguts: 🤔 ihatemyguts: you're a frontman, right? inandout: self nominated ihatemyguts: I see it inandout: you're drums ihatemyguts: only if I get to be on a dramatic raised platform above you all at the back inandout: if you swear not to 🚿 us with 💩 ihatemyguts: it would bring the horror ihatemyguts: very Carrie ihatemyguts: but 🤞 inandout: very Slipknot ihatemyguts: I'm down for a mask situation inandout: I'm not 🥵 ihatemyguts: Valid ihatemyguts: but you're cute, people will wanna see you inandout: cute is 🐕🐩🐈 or 🐖🐑🐐🐄 inandout: we can't start an animal band unless you can talk to them and ask if they really want inandout: ...some kind of rockstar life ihatemyguts: True, Ozzy was NOT asking those 🦇 if they were about the fame inandout: and they became another casualty of inandout: sickening ihatemyguts: is that the deal ihatemyguts: my bowel has decided not to work so I get to speak to animals? ihatemyguts: 🤙 inandout: that's a 10 episode series pitch ihatemyguts: god knows there has to be a redeeming feature of a sick kid ihatemyguts: can't be an arsehole who's suffering, not relatable and not enjoyable -10/10 inandout: you can only be an arsehole if yours works inandout: hooray for me ihatemyguts: lucky ihatemyguts: don't wanna flex on you by sparking up, really inandout: can you drink?

ihatemyguts: not that I'm desperate for company but frankly ihatemyguts: no, it could be cool inandout: and she won't say, despite what I said about trading on her fame, but Lauren's anniversary is coming up inandout: she'll want company for that ihatemyguts: I don't know if I should know, and I know I'm not gonna ask her ihatemyguts: but it can't be a fun anniversary, anything we could do to make it less of a shit time ihatemyguts: why not inandout: you're in inandout: cool ihatemyguts: 👍 ihatemyguts: the social engagements I won't need to turn down for this ihatemyguts: busy 🐝 I ain't inandout: I wanna ask if you had loads of friends before inandout: it seems like you would ihatemyguts: Kinda ihatemyguts: and not everyone turned into total cunts either, not trying to be that tragic heroine ihatemyguts: awkward adjustment, mainly for me, I know but ihatemyguts: wish I had a cool illness, you know ihatemyguts: can't make 💩 work for me inandout: what's a cool one? ihatemyguts: there's no cool one to have, I know that, like, intelligently, I get it ihatemyguts: but at least if you've got a decent story or you aren't essentially shitting yourself to death as your quirky symptom, people are more into it ihatemyguts: it's stupid but inandout: something that makes you faint dramatically inandout: that'd be netflix worthy inandout: the harder the name is to pronounce, the better ihatemyguts: exactly, providing I do it gracefully and look pretty whilst doing it ihatemyguts: 'cos what's the point in this pain if I can't peddle it to the masses inandout: you could look pretty doing it ihatemyguts: oh yeah ihatemyguts: the glamour would be unreal 😂 inandout: 🍃 ihatemyguts: 📽 ihatemyguts: cinematic inandout: American Beauty and you're the plastic bag ihatemyguts: that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me ihatemyguts: okay, Katy Perry inandout: leave Robbie to do the 🐯 roar ihatemyguts: she's cute ihatemyguts: no offense to you but inandout: how many dates are you two going on?

ihatemyguts: He doesn't say a whole lot ihatemyguts: that was a thing pre 💩 life too so ihatemyguts: guess he gets to keep being mysterious and my illness feels the least invisible when I'm the only kid let out to the 🚽 multiple times a lesson ihatemyguts: 🤷 inandout: you could suggest home school inandout: Robbie's an expert, she'd do you a pro slideshow ihatemyguts: I already miss people inandout: okay, okay, we'll bring the first date forward inandout: I'll escort you to the party ihatemyguts: what's the dresscode?

inandout: sort of 💊 and 🗪 ihatemyguts: Definite crossovers but not fully the same deal ihatemyguts: I see my pharmacist so often we're on date ... ihatemyguts: dread to think inandout: people don't wanna feel like others don't understand them somewhere where they're going for solidarity inandout: or that they can't get a sentence in over all the rest that are being typed ihatemyguts: it is pretty nervewracking ihatemyguts: even if yours is decent inandout: I used to be a big lurker inandout: some days I still am inandout: Lauren will always fill up the gaps ihatemyguts: you need all types, I reckon inandout: same ihatemyguts: like families ihatemyguts: even the creepy uncle inandout: if I don't have one does that mean I'm destined to become him? ihatemyguts: only if your brother finds a cheerleader ihatemyguts: you're probably alright inandout: he could adopt Robbie and let her live cage free ihatemyguts: that was a bit creepy ihatemyguts: oh my god, it's started ihatemyguts: 👹 inandout: damn inandout: much to think about inandout: a life to reassess ihatemyguts: if you're actually going ihatemyguts: thanks ihatemyguts: for being cool inandout: you were cool first inandout: I didn't lead a revolution ihatemyguts: you had to be cool enough not to shoot it down inandout: I'm so cool I've fallen at the creepy uncle fashion hurdle inandout: can't get a 🧢 on without a haircut inandout: it's all about the 🧦 now ihatemyguts: you know how to paint a picture ihatemyguts: even though I can now stalk your socials in my own time inandout: easier to explain you than Lauren inandout: my friends at school were shook by her ihatemyguts: I can imagine ihatemyguts: she'd be happy with that though 😏 inandout: she was inandout: [posts a selfie with his best attempt at a creepy uncle aesthetic because I doubt I'm finding a gem like that from Finn] ihatemyguts: oh my god ihatemyguts: 👏 ihatemyguts: that would be fully #triggering, top marks inandout: ♟ your move inandout: wine mum or vodka aunt ihatemyguts: Oh, I have perfect wine mum clothes ihatemyguts: had very bad taste a few years back and the 👻 are hanging about ihatemyguts: hold on inandout: I can't make the baited breath comment twice in a day, that's too much inandout: and I know I did in group ihatemyguts: 💔 I'm not special enough inandout: come back tomorrow for new puns ihatemyguts: [selfie in Amma's weird little girl/suburban mom clothing 'cos was not a mood] ihatemyguts: are you sure?

(I wrote a long ass paragraph for this earlier but Tumblr froze halfway and it wouldn't upload rip lets hope it works now)

ayO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. Let me tell y'all about this insanely gorgeous girl in the pictures above.

Her name is Lauren and I met her through Tumblr. We were mutuals and I messaged her cause I thought she was so cool. I didnt think she'd reply (cause no one ever does lmao) but she did and we now talk every single day. I'm way beyond blessed to have this magnificent woman in my life.

Not only is she beautiful, but shes funny and sweet and caring and selfless and perfect and I love her with every bone in my body. She's my best friend and always knows how to make me laugh and smile and its honestly just so great.

I love how she accepts the fact that I get nervous trying to talk on the phone and is willing to wait until I work up the courage to do it. I promise we will soon, baby girl. I can't wait to talk for hours and hours.

I love how she sometimes needs reassurance because it gives me an extra reason just to go on and on about how perfect she is and how lucky I am to have met her.

I love how she sends me random videos (like that dISRESPECTFUL video of Hoseok😂💙) and pictures of the boys that she thinks I'll enjoy, or even just a little message telling me she loves me. It brightens up my day.

We share a lot of similar struggles. It sucks because I can't even help myself with my own, so its hard to help her with hers. If given the chance, I would heal her before me. In a heartbeat.

We sometimes plan what we're gonna do when we first meet irl. We both say different things but it always finds its way back to us sitting inside watching bts videos all day😂. Pretty typical, but it sounds perfect to me💙

I could go on and on about this girl. She means the absolute world to me and I would be so lost without her. I love you more than you will ever know, baby girl. I promise we will meet some day... Some day SOON!!!!

I had a weird and pretty sad dream that I want to write down before I get to start pretending to do my homework. So in my dream I had brought my boyfriend home, except it was not my home it was a random unknown house. It "felt" like the house at the countryside, but not really, the room arrangement and overall build was very different. So I snuck him in as I didn't want my family to know I'd brought him in there. I was also frantically looking around to make sure no one was around and no one was seeing us. For some reason I had my laptop opened on my desk. At some point I had to run out somewhere (?) Idk there was this short period of absence, meanwhile my bf was still in my room, waiting for me there. While I was out I suddenly remembered about my laptop and how I had left it open. It didn't struck me as important, not like I had anything to hide or whatever. I got back and he rushed to hug me as soon as I returned. We held hands and I had to take him back to his place. At this point my family already knew that he had been in our home, and I suddenly didn't even care anymore. They had to drive him home and I joined. We had a convertible driven by this actor who looks a little like Steve Buscemi, and I think my grandma was also there. Once we dropped my boyfriend back to his place we returned home. I somehow realized what my source of worry could/should have been about leaving my laptop accessible to my bf: this very blog. Lmao. So I somehow figured out that he read this blog, and wrote reactions to it on his own "secret diary" blog that was something like Alex120 or a combination of those numbers. 2130 or something. Anyway. I remembered about the times I said I wanted to break up with him on here and read his blog, there were pictures of him crying and some people (presumably some of his IRL friends) were replying with stuff like "leave her bro, if you want to keep her then keep her, but if you wanted her for sex then throw out the tin can" (I was supposed to be the tin can), another one was saying "*my name* or Christina, whatever her name was" and then something else I don't remember, and some supportive comments too I think.

Gotta break it into paragraphs again lol. And then he posted another thing like "I'm stalking my girlfriend's secret blog and I just want to say *here he mentioned some video game designer or video game content creator named Lauren I think* thankyou for being an awesome human" I think this was related to like tutorials or guides for the games we play together, something like that. Bc I guess I wrote on here that I play/ I like to play with him? Anyway. There were many more posts about what he had read on my blog but obviously dream me found it too difficult to read them, plus I was somehow reading all these on a little notebook. Like IRL there was this colourful tiny notebook and I was flipping the pages to read different posts by him. And I also "typed" on it like I would have typed on an actual phone. And it was like the little notebook was from my best friend. Anyway I was feeling bad that he found those posts from when I was like mad at him and stuff, even if my anger was perfectly justified and I probably suffered more than he did about those things. And as I was trying to read the notebook, my family was around me: my mom, my stepdad and my grandma. My stepdad and grandma had some mischievous looks on their faces. My mom was the only one genuinely chilling, or maybe I didn't look at her closely enough. And at some point my stepdad interrupted my reading and asked me why I'm on my phone all day, like why I had to be on my phone right then. And I was like "I don't want to talk, I'm reading something. I'm not part of your group conversation" and I wanted to add but my mom was also telling them to leave me alone, and my grandma barged in with something like "you don't have to be rude about it, it was just a question blah blah blah". And then I guess the dream ended even though I tried to continue/replay/recreate it. But I couldn't. And I think after this I talked to my bf in the dream and it was like nothing had happened, but I wanted to address the posts on my blog and what he had read and what he had posted about them on his own blog.

[does-bella-like-me]

hi can i request all of the twilight saga asks you haven't done yet

Ooooo man here we go. You asked for this, literally:)

1) favorite character?

Basically all of them (except Mike Newton and Lauren AKA gross plot devices), but Renesmee in particular.

2) favorite book?

Breaking Dawn because besides Twilight it’s the only one I’ve reread like 100 times.

3) favorite movie?

New Moon because SOUNDTRACK and there’s some really good filmography in it.

4) favorite book moments?

-Bella realizing that Edward was just trying to tire her our in BD so she will be too tired to try to seduce him hahahaha-every time that Bella tries to/wants to physically fight someone-New Moon Reunion

5) favorite movie moments?

-EVERY TIME THERE WAS A MONTAGE OF PAST SCENES. ESPECIALLY THE CREDIT SCENES IN BD PT.2. I cry every time and the montage during the transformation scene that shows Bella’s present to her birth is so beautiful and the soundtrack oh my.-The sound Bella makes when she hits the rock in New Moon.-How good Bella looks in Eclipse, like how do you make a girl who was already really pretty glow up I don’t get it.

6) books in order from favorite to least favorite

Breaking Dawn, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse.

7) movies in order from favorite to least favorite

New Moon, Breaking Dawn Pt.1, Twilight, Breaking Dawn Pt.2, Eclipse. (Look Eclipse is just… I lost the book halfway through reading it and I didn’t actively search for it lets put it that way. I eventually found it but it was literally months later)

8) book or movie moments that made you the most mad?

-Literally every Bella/Jacob kiss. (Sorry Jacob ily but..no, just… no.) Especially the like the TWO in Eclipse but also the one that was against Bella’s will was the one I hated the most.-Edward screaming “YOU’VE LEFT ME NO CHOICE” in BD pt.1, like, uhmmm… fuck you boo.-Edward taking out parts from the thing (aka Bella’s truck) so that she won’t see Jacob in Eclipse.-Alice and Jasper leaving in Breaking Dawn. Like I get why but it still felt like they could’ve SAID SOMETHING RIGHT???

9) book or movie moments that made you the most sad?

-New Moon.To be specific, The utter downward spiral that Bella goes through. Also her freaking out when Renee and Charlie try to make her move….-END CREDITS OF BD PT.2 look they’re trying to fuck me up let’s be real.

10) opinions/thoughts on life and death?

So when I first read it (like….. 4 or 5 months ago??? I was really late to the game) I hadn’t read twilight in a long time so I didn’t notice all of the similarities that are there. I actually really like it despite that and the Edward/Beau Edythe/Bella ships give me life. The ending was what it needed to be so that Stephanie Meyer wouldn’t get like hounded to make more.

11) do you prefer the books or the movies?

I love the books for generally being better than the movies but I love the emotional impact of the movies and their soundtracks so I gotta say movies which is an unpopular opinion because the books are definitely better but…. SOUNTRACKS MAN…..

12) favorite character casting(s)?

Probably Renesmee but like AFTER they got the real actress for her and not the CGI baby monster thing they had going there. Also SETH and LEAH I love them so much. Also Jasper and Charlie, both are so pure I love them.

13) least favorite character casting(s)?

Pretty much all of the Cullens lmao but probably Carlisle the most. Peter Facinelli I love you but you’re so old and it makes me forget that Carlisle is like stuck at, what is it 23??? And Esme like… I love Elizabeth Reaser too but again they both look like they’re in their mid 30’s and it kind of takes away from the effect of them looking out of place and being in a strange situation by adopting all of these (supposed to be) teens. Also I don’t really like Taylor Lautner when he’s supposed to be just a normal kid bc again he seems too buff even thought he really wasn’t but as beefcake Jacob he’s great. Look I could go on and on about this so I’ll stop now.

14) favorite songs from the soundtracks?

OOOO BOY THIS IS MY FAVORITE QUESTION. Look I love music, like that’s all I care about 90% of the time and the soundtracks ARE ALL SO GOOD (Esp New Moon). I do have a few favorites lmao-Hearing Damage by Thom Yorke-Possibility by Lykke Li-Roslyn by Saint Vincent & Bon Iver -Full Moon by The Black Ghosts-Spotlight by Mutemath-Shooting the Moon by OK Go(Plus like all of the songs on the scores)

15) what’s one thing you would change about the saga?

I’ve been thinking recently about what about the saga I don’t like the most, and what I could change that would make the most impact and I feel like if the moral of the story was something healthy and actually something suitable for the young adult/teen audience that it’s meant for then that would change a lot about it. There’s always something to be learned from a story and something the author is trying to show society and if there was a bigger focus on a healthy lesson like self love, experiencing trauma but then healing properly and growing from it, or the way humans need platonic, nonromantic relationships and not just a hyper focus on romantic relationships to be happy in life, then the series would’ve been VERY different.

17) which character would you be best friends with?

Probably Angela hahaha. Irl I tend to be shy and introverted so Angela and I would understand each other very well.

18) which characters would you probably not get along with?

Well I don’t like to be told what to do with my life. I’m a really independent person who takes friendly advice but it really makes me mad when people tell me straight up what to do, so if Alice came up to me and started trying to change how I live and my wardrobe and such I would NOT do well with that.

20) favorite wolf?

Leah could punch me in the face and I would thank her.

21) favorite human?

Angela :)

22) favorite Volturi?

Marcus because I too wish for death on a daily basis.

23) would you rather be a wolf or vampire?

Vampire. I don’t sleep or go outside in the sun anyways so there’s not much of a stretch. It’s gotten so bad that my family calls me a vampire sometimes.

24) what would you want your special vampire power/ ability to be?

Well if Carlisle’s theory holds true and a gift is supposed to be an amplification of some trait one had when they were human (except for Benjamin and Kate like… what???) Then mine would have to be something related to music/singing. Invisibility would be really cool but also a very very insane ability to have. I’d have to think really long and hard before I gave a concrete answer to that.

25) what would you want your wolf fur to look like?

First thought: black like my soul Second thought: Gray

26) would you want to join the Volturi?

No thank you but I appreciate the gesture.

27) if you were a vampire, would you follow a “vegetarian” diet? How would you go about your life?

Yeah I’d be a vegetarian because I’m a not so secret hippie and I don’t like the idea of killing people OR animals, so I’m fucked but I’ll just lower my morals a bit and probably not hunt those poor animals unless i HAD to. As in I’d stretch out time between hunts until it wasn’t a good idea for me to be doing that anymore. Also I don’t really know how I would spend my life, probably just doing the equivalent of watching t.v. and hanging out. Maybe if some dogs liked me then I’d adopt a few but like… short lives. I’m generally against the idea of living forever because I don’t think i could be entertained for that long ever.

28) your opinion on imprinting?

First thought: How convenient…. I don’t know it’s complicated. I enjoy the idea of how easy and effortless it is, like I automatically get someone who loves me??? Cool! But also the lack of control is concerning. Also imprinting on a baby is just. It could’ve been explained better tbh.

29) favorite couples and/or friendships?

-The Jasper/Emmett bromance gives me life. - Edythe/Bella & Edward/Beau just is so pure I love it.

Meet Lauren, Who What Wear fashion editor and co-founder of The Devils Wear Zara . Lauren is so obsessed with Zara that we started calling her the Zara Scout . Now she's turning the nickname into a franchise so she can regularly share her insider knowledge of the brand—including all her hacks, secrets, and must-haves—with you. You can count on Zara for a lot of things—low prices, last-minute pick-me-ups, and, weirdly, that perfect dress that, yes, maybe tons of other girls will have, but for $70 and a few cute Instagram pics, it will do the trick. For our next dressing-room-diaries series in which my Devils Wear Zara co-founder, Mimi, and I head into Zara in both L.A. and NY to try on the newest product, we decided to focus on dresses—pretty ones. Normally, we only show you the pictures of the items we ended up buying (or at least adding to our immediate wish lists), but this time, we decided to be a little more candid. Ahead, you'll see a slew of dressing-room pictures featuring the pretty Zara dresses we loved, kind of loved, and even hated a little. Now, the dresses we chose to try on are all ones we think are cute; some of them just didn't look right on us, and that's okay. That's what dressing rooms are for, no? Either way, we're here to officially let you know that the dress section at Zara is on fire right now, whether you agree with our reviews below or not. "I'm not totally sure where I would wear this because I normally dress like a boy, and this feels hella fancy for me, but a good red dress is an essential, right? I think this would be flattering on anyone. I love the wrap detail, the leg slit when you walk, and the pleated detail on the shoulders." — Mimi Postigo  "I am a sucker for a good slip dress, but it's hard for me to find ones that really flatter my body. This one surprised me in that department. It clung to the right part of my hips and the neckline looks so expensive. Also, please excuse my bra straps." — Lauren Eggertsen  "I kinda feel like Lucy Boynton in this. (LMAO, I said kinda.) I'm into it. Had to put up the hair for full puffy-sleeve/high-neck/rhinestone-button debut. I think this is the perfect LBD to have on hand that's not just a black slip dress." — Mimi  "This PRINT! I saw it on the rack and was immediately drawn to it. It's one of those dresses I'll probably get sick of by next year, but for $70, that's a risk I'm willing to take for a few killer Instagram photos (because look how well it photographs) and potentially a breezy spring wedding guest dress." — Lauren  "This is me trying to be Dua Lipa. Clearly, I didn't totally nail the look, but I think if I get my hair done and add some dope accessories, this would look much cooler." — Mimi  "So, I actually posted this dress on my Instagram Story along with a poll, asking people to vote on whether they loved or hated it. A lot of people ended up hating it, but the ones who loved it loved it so much they messaged me privately to tell me they hoped I bought it. Personally, I think it's not the most flattering on my body, but I love the color, and I think the straps are nice. Maybe if I were a bit taller and attending the Kentucky Derby, I would have bought it." — Lauren  "I have six kinds of these pretty, flowy dresses in my closet, and they are perfect for so many things—brunch with friends, backyard BBQs, going to dinner in the warmer months, letting my sister borrow, wearing to my nephew's six-month birthday… The list goes on. They are also so easily dressed up or down with the right shoes and such." — Mimi  "Fun fact number one: I hate jumpsuits. Fun fact number two: This is a jumpsuit, and I love it. I didn't know it was a jumpsuit until I was in the dressing room, and I loved it all the same. I think this tuxedo-inspired dress (shoulder pads and all) would be a nice alternative to the typical cocktail dress (probably a slip) I normally reach for and looks chic with tights and a pointed shoe. Don't worry: I won't wear it with my shell necklaces IRL." — Lauren  "I'm into a long-sleeved minidress and feel like this one is perfect for spring. It has some diamond-button detail going on around the bust. Could envision it with lace-up sandals and maybe a chic vacation. IDK though." — Mimi  "Didn't end up loving the fit on this one as much as I had hoped for, but I really did love the semi-puffy sleeves and the flattering tie around the waist. Sometimes wrap dresses get a little too gappy around my chest area, which means I'm constantly fidgetting with it and worrying about it resulting in a less-than-pleasant experience for me. BUT I was sad when I didn't love the fit, which means it's the perfect dress for someone else—probably you. Plus, I just realized this dress is almost sold out, meaning it really was just me, and it looks good on everyone… but me. Cool, cool." — Lauren  "I really don't know what it is, but I'm drawn to weird cotton dresses with button fronts like this—all the time, even though they don't look great on me. I look like Shailene Woodley in Divergent before she became a badass. Google it, and you will agree." — Mimi  "This slip had a stunning color but was a tad on the sheer side. If you're going on a tropical vacation, this dress is definitely worth buying, but it's one I passed on. Plus, I knew I would wear the polka-dot slip dress way more than this one. Now that I'm looking back, I think it could have looked really cute layered underneath a cream, chunky sweater with my Dr. Martens… Maybe I'll go back." — Lauren

Episode #6: “Someone's About To Get Torn To Shreds” - Liam

Okay heyyyy so I'm back off reflection island. And I was SHOOK watching that tribal. Andreas blindsided?? For some reason?? Apparently it was Chelsea's idea but also apparently Chelsea and Jackson wanted to throw the challenge bc they wanted me on their tribe so that's cute! Immediately when I went back I rekindled my relatonships with Danielle and Jackson. I told Jackson about my idol piece, and he told me the location of another one in case i need it. so now I just needa get to Quillynn if I ever need an idol hehe. ANYWAY. I've been back for like?? Half an hour?? AND I ALREADY MADE A MAJORITY ALLIANCE WITH CHELSEA AND JACKSON I'm truly doing that. Plus I have good relations with Danielle, who is now on the outs bc she's the last mentor and was close to Andreas, and I'm not very close to Lauren but I know her so I don't think she'd murder or target me outright. OKAY I FEEL BETTER ABOUT THIS TRIBE. I got to relax and take a break on reflection, get another idol piece, and was automatically placed into a majority on the tribe I landed on. I truly did that. How iconic!

TEA TIMEEEEEE. 

 So after Andreas went home, I immediately went to Jackson and asked what happened. He said he panicked cause that was the only name he heard. Now Danielle is saying that that's false.... Hmmm. Someone's about to get torn to shreds this week.

ya my student is playing a LOT of angles in this game and he got the clue from danielle and found it the next day and he hasn't told me about it. i'm glad i've been telling him everything but i still have my few secrets

Hello! And welcome to one of those times that lily decides to write a confessional. In this edition I just wanna say this challenge sucks. I feel bad for the whole group here. Trivia sucks. Double tribals sucks. But we will power through! I'm headed to Indianapolis as we speak. So far I've seen some corn and had McDonald's #ilykai . My beautiful light pink wig is sitting beside me as it bears this trip with me. So I'm in this dope alliance chat with QuilLynn, willow, Lauren, and Christine. We are called the rice girls because we formed during the rice challenge. (Did I already talk about this? Maybe yes I did oh well I've already typed it) moving on, we all had a great discussion about the last tribal. I was freaking out because I thought Lauren might be in trouble. She wasn't....but hopefully t gained me trust within the group that I really care about them. I think it was also a warning to Lauren that I really did hear these things. Chelsea told me everyone was mad at Lauren about the challenge. And Jackson told me that he thinks Lauren has an idol piece. Lauren told me she doesn't. Which is honestly fine I wouldn't expect anyone to share that kind of info unless if they really needed to. And she really might not have it. There are a lot of things out there with everyone lying about having one or not. I really love talking to Jackson! He is great with conversation loves Disney and has a lot of smart ideas as far as strategy goes. But I just can't tell if he really wants to work with me. I think he is a good person to have around but he could ended up hurting me in the end. Honestly I'm not sure. I just hope I can make it to merge and deal with it all then. That's okay....right? Yeah probably not but it's hard to predict what's gonna go on in this game. Too many twists sigh...of my tribe loses this challenge my guess is we would take Liam out but honestly who knows what could happen. I just know Liam doesn't want to work with me at all. He never messaged me back. Honestly kinda made me sad.... well Liam if you are reading this hi we can still be friends. You are probs really cool! I hope we get to know each other better.  

Well, I've tried as hard as I can to work my social game, now let's see if it pays off! Jack was my closest thing to a definite vote, but maybe if I can flip Willow and Gage to thinking that us mentors need to stick together soon, we'll have a fighting chance..

Liam y u no message me back? 😢 I gotta vote for you and I know you are probably voting for me. Which I guess is fine but damn what the HECKIE 

i reallly don't have a confessional but i don't want a pentalty vote so here it is 

Okay so this season already seems like game changers where big threats are being taken out immediately, so it seems like my lay low strategy is paying dividends at the moment. Liam better go home tonight but if we merge after this I'm scared because I don't know if I can get into a majority alliance come merge 

Hi I'm Jackson and this is my fourth confessional. This is my fourth time at tribal. I'm a little salty to be going (because I felt like I did pretty good in that jeopardy challenge, it just so happened to be the one week where it was a double tribal), but the voting is going to be pretty straightforward, I think. Lauren should be going home. She's not a very active player but she makes me nervous. She has ORG experience, so I don't want to underestimate her. Danielle is on board (she's probably pretty nervous tonight tbh considering how many mentors go home. But hopefully this will cement our bond), and Colin has formed a strong alliance with me and Chelsea, so he's cool with it too. Colin is the decoy - he's who we're telling Lauren to vote. The other tribe going to tribal is what makes me nervous. One of my closest allies, Lily, could be in trouble. The main outcast on that tribe, Jack, is on reflection island, which means Lily could be the next to go. If she wasn't currently at a convention IRL, I'd feel a little safer, as she could throw Liam under the bus and hopefully get Willow and Gage on board to vote him. But the mentors are probably feeling a little nervous about how many of their kind have been voted out. The (albeit false) prospect of a Newbies Alliance might push them to vote out the only newbie on their tribe right now. If only Lily would respond to my messages. As for idol pieces, things aren't great. Colin found another on Reflection (which rocks), so with Chelsea's piece, we should have three in total. But she gave hers to Quillynn without telling me! Which was pretty stupid. Because there's no guarantee Quillynn will give it back and Chelsea is too nervous to ask. I went hunting for that 5-digit code (which I found after two hours), but someone had already gotten it. I'm thinking it was probably Lily, which is irritating, because she's probably about to get voted out. Which is why I want to talk to her!! Ugh!! Okay, I need to get going. Let's hope there's a merge after this I guess? I'm tired of this tribe setup. Byeeee

Okay ugh back to tribal. I got a couple rounds off but now it's back to the game. A five person tribe going to tribal is already scary enough, but there's been more than enough rounds for a couple idols to be made so that's also incredibly scary. I have a majority alliance with Chelsea and Jackson but I'm trying to keep my communication super open with Danielle so that she trusts me and doesn't try anything funny. I have like no working game relationship with Lauren so I want her gone. Jackson and Chelsea want Lauren out too? perfect! She gon' be gone! I gave Chelsea and Jackson permission to use me as a decoy name to give to Lauren which could backfire, but I need to show that I trust them and it makes sense since I was on reflection island last round. They both know I have two idol pieces but hopefully with how open I'm being with them they won't try to take me out because of it. The only thing that could backfire is once they bring my name up to Lauren if she makes a good enough case to actually convince them to vote me out, even though that seems pretty unlikely. I'm not doing much in this game. I'm playing strictly socially and not strategically. Also I'm ruining my record and I should be getting a vote put on me tonight, the first one all season, even if this is like my 4th or 5th tribal. Iconic! But yeah, Lauren is probably going. That's that on that! Hopefully she doesn't play anything! Also hopefully merge is after this double tribal! 

hello hi sup so basically i've been doing nothing in this game mainly because i found my ride or dies: quillynn, lauren, colin and trixie. i have danielle, my lovely mentor and her bff ryan on my side too so im not all that worried for the future. with this win in jeopardy i think i just secured my spot on merge which is really hype but who knows?? anything can happen really! i love danielle and im so grateful for everything she has done for me and i hope we get to work together at merge! i dont think i'd be able to win this game bc i have literally done nothing at all so i guess we will see what happens!

bye lauren, didn't wanna vote ya but y'know! hopefully liam leaves tonight too hehe

So jeopardy was fun! Me and Ryan killed it and are avoiding tribal which means I'll at least get to tie my Sri Lanka placement! On the other side of things, I got closer to Ryan and told him about my idol piece since it's obvious one of us were gonna get one this round. He also let me know about the ones people might've gotten...one of them including my dear student Lauren. I can't really complain cause I haven't told her about mine but it's good to know. If she survives this maybe her, me, Ryan and Jackson can work together. Recently I've been kinda scared cause the mentors keep leaving so hopefully the double doesn't continue that pattern.

I am dominating this game. Muahaha. My student loves me. I love them. I am winning this game for my besties Mitchell and Rob! (This was from TS alum Rob)

Lmao so since Jack got sent to Reflection Island we only have a 4 person tribe now, and I thought 5 person tribes weren't fun but oh boy 4 person tribes are even worse. So of course I'm forced to do jeopardy since Lily is on vacation, and Liam is working all the time. And just in general I'm a flop at jeopardy so fun times, and I got Gage negative points in jeopardy oops. Anyway Liam thinks I'm with him and hes offering me a place in the majority alliance or whatever bc they need more mentors. Like yeah he has a point that its been a mentor going home besides the first vote but I don't think theres an all student alliance I just think its been a coincidence or whatever. Also the idea of there having been a majority alliance since like the 2nd round is really dumb like they're just gonna self destruct and I'm gonna sit watching with my popcorn ready. So it should be Liam going home tonight unless they're trying to pull a blindside but I'm fine with him leaving tbh bc hes kinda inactive and really power hungry. Also I'm really really hoping for a merge soon since its a double tribal.

[tatumriley]

yo gurl i know one of the people from the atlanta admin party and always thot she seemed sketchy for some reason 👀 good to know I wasn't wrong !!! name start with k and end with y ??? u should still expose tho

lmao yeah, she was the ringleader of the clique in atl and montreal (the group i was previously in with them) 

Trying to truly expose them now would be easily written off by any of them if i tried; i deleted screenshots months ago, and new skype is largely useless for me lmao. 

it looks like all of them are out of the atl roleplay for various reasons now, i know kelly left awhile ago, and the two admins that stayed just left earlier this week. i know one of the current admins is going by ‘zig’ but looking at the bio, and blog theme it’s not kelly or any of the shady ppl i knew of. so it looks like a newer, safer era for them (tho tbh i’d still stay frosty about the group if anyone is planning on joining. who knows when any of them will come back) 

right now i don’t know of any other groups any of them are in tbh. i think they might be taking breaks idk. but my best advice is be on the lookout for: kelly, ace, nova/lauren, and haley. they’re the main ones i found issues with. i know kelly has different aliases, but i don’t remember what they are.

but here’s some more shit that they did that i know of:

apparently as an admin, kelly would often yell at the other admins for not doing things the way she wanted them, and would then rip into them for not doing any work for the group

when my best friend (who was an admin at the beginning for a short time) left for personal reasons (nothing to do with the group), she told them she had every intention of coming back eventually, but not as an admin. while she was gone, i had members of kelly’s clique bad mouthing my friend to me, either not realizing that i was close with her, or with full intention of turning me against her. when i would defend her i’d quickly get a response of “oh, well obviously you know her better, i just think it’s shitty that she left them floundering like that.” ...trust me they were fine. 

while she was gone; kelly revamped one of her old characters, but really the only thing her old character and the revamped version had in common was the name. all the changes she made were basically stolen from the plot and bio of one of my friend’s characters.

when my friend came back, she only stayed a short time, and left after a couple weeks because she was widely ignored by that clique, as well as a lot of other characters due to kelly’s influence. me and our other friend were pretty much the only ones that interacted with her. she felt alienated in the group, and when this was brought to kelly’s attention, kelly told the other admin ‘the only reason i agreed to bring her back was because she’s your friend. i didn’t want her here.’ this was another reason why i decided to leave.

i was only really friends with ace, who was one of kelly’s close friends. she was the one i had the pregnancy plot with. we had gotten close, and i thought i could comfortably vent and share this stuff with her. i imagine this was why i slowly got alienated too, because i would say shit to ace, and it would get passed to kelly. 

throughout the time we had the plot, i really only ever heard from kelly THROUGH ace. like activity, plot approvals, any issues she had with me, it was passed through ace. which was strange bc ace was not an admin at the time. but it made it clear that kelly didn’t want to talk to anyone outside of her group

then there was the whole pregnancy plot thing

they had a gossip blog for montreal, and had an ooc chat in skype for it. i helped run it for a short time and was in the ooc chat there. most of us used it just as a communication for the workload with it, i eventually stepped down bc i was too busy irl, i never left the chat and it was quiet for the most part so i didn’t even realize i was still in it for a long time. BUT as members and mods changed, the chat changed to a really shady, sketchy place, and there was more bad mouthing characters than anything to do with the blog. eventually they realized that i was still in the chat, so they made a new one. that one apparently got even sketchier and was full of nothing but insulting characters and writers in the group. i found out from one of the other admins as all this shit was going down. 

they eventually made a large ooc group chat for everyone, but it turned into just being about them, and still insulting the writing and characters of ppl who weren’t in the group. 

when i finally left, i messaged the main and said that i was feeling like i was not wanted in the group, and that while i didn’t have any ill will against anyone, i thought it was better to just leave. they told me that they were sorry i felt this way, and that of course i was wanted, and my character had become such a staple in a lot of character’s lives. but in the dash and in their chat they made it clear that that was not the case at all lmao
