bombshell is so good and gets better every time i replay it, i can’t believe some people don’t like it!!!!!

[litgpersonalities]

Can you do Thabi and Najuma?

Of course!! I love Season 4. I know that's not always the most popular opinion, but the characters are so fun. Naj and Thabi are so sweet! Wish Naj was more present as a bestie if you're not on her route (someone wanna write that?)

So I just binged the 4th season of Love Island the Game and I'm kinda happy they took out the part where couples had to choose who gets the fifty thousand dollars.

Mainly because this season, Fusebox actively remembered and respected the choices we made (no mc flirting with random peeps they can't stand--). Plus, toward the end there, I really enjoyed this cast. It was genuinely feeling like a group of true friends, less fakeness.

As always, since I'm more or less keeping a rundown on the timeline of these characters, I'm gonna keep it brief. Kamen ended up with Najuma from the start basically and they won first place; it's true love with these two, ya honor.

[peachesandhunii]

What yall think of Delylah's name? It was originally D'lylah but we can't put apostrophes.

Anyway more season 4

My girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend ✨️💃🏿🩷❤️🩷❤️

Fuck you and your fuckass bitch. I can agree with him a little. Don't come to me about nothing my baby has done. They can do no wrong. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, not everybody here is wrong. Nobody wants to jump into the argument but nobody is trying to defend the bitch. Just say you dgaf about anybody else but you and her. Acknowledge that your girl is a POS.

Please mama 😩😩 This is actually my first time getting nasty in the shower with her

Side note: I wrote a fic about Najuma sitting on mcs face before reading this LMAO lemme know if yall wanna read it 🤭

Bestie for life 🫶🏾🤞🏾🫰🏾

Don't piss me off Naj. Don't eat my póússéy and then get geeked about another bitch. This is insane. 🤨

🫦

We not telling the whole truth now? 🤨

Girl I'm PISSED. If you don't get tf out my way. What did Megan say? Please don't try me lil bitch you know I'm with that I'll brake a ho in half like a kitkat.

Uh uh you better go find you someone else to share with. I ONLY share with my gf and we gotta rub lips together (🤭) to share. Be so fr Julia 🙄

[loveislandthegame]

i just view FB’s surveys as a way to see hints about what they’re including in the next season (like that enemies to lovers question) because hell would freeze over before they’d actually listen to player feedback, but…

they cannot be serious with this question 😭😭😭 (considering the quality of the recent seasons) the bar for a decent female LI route was at the earth’s core & they still couldn’t clear it

being forced to choose between two wlw LIs as soon as they’re both in the villa because FB is too lazy to code is not fulfilling

watching your LI flirt with other islanders while being like “i have my eye on you too, MC 👀” is not fulfilling (nor was kelly/natasha’s obsessions with finn/stefan)

not being able to actually be with your LI until the literal season finale is not fulfilling. wtf are they thinking ?😭

[willkimurashat]

Where’re my Brazilian lovelies?? They heard your pleas!!

[still-a-morosexual-help]

Here's MY thoughts on the love island the game's seasons, for no reason other than I want to:

Also because the majority of the people following me are here for OM! & I want to drag more people down into the litg hell with me :)

Season 1: why is everyone so bitchy for no reason????? Talia & Jake are okay but other than that it's meh... don't really like the art style either

Season 2: Immaculate. Chef's kiss. They hit a high they never reached again. Somehow managed to balance the drama & the found family aspect and created a dynamic where you can actually believe everyone is friends and having fun even if sometimes they try to kill each other. Characters are flawed but generally decent people who are allowed to grow throughout the season. You get the option to make MC a bi gym-bro who can devour an entire cake in one sitting and bench press her partner. There's a reason this got two sequels.

Season 3: It's fine ig. Short and kind of boring. Nothing much happens. AJ is so cute though she almost makes up for it.

Season 4: Honestly a close 2nd favourite. We get a lot of character backstory and like s2 it touches on some serious issues. The season with some of the funniest moments/lines of dialogue - multiple moments where I just laughed out loud. I'm still only half way through it but the "villain" is just straight up mean for no reason and doesn't get any character development like the characters in S2 but makes up for it by having some of the funniest interactions with other characters and I was so sad to see her go. Also the season where I desperately wish MC was allowed to be in an open relationship till the very end and finish off the season in a polycule with every other islander who was in the love "triangle"s of the the season because this was the hardest season to pick a LI - Najuma is just all around amazing, Bruno is sweet & funny, Tom is so pathetic* MC & Thabi's friendship is also the best thing? It's great seeing a platonic relationship that is as loving (if not more so) than the romantic relationships. It's literally:

Season 5: Psychological horror. The producers said 'hey wouldn't it be funny if we torture this woman on national tv' and then committed to the bit. My memories are hazy because even though I only played it earlier this year it upset me so much I did my best to block most of it out but also I'm 100% sure there was actual galighting happening. Don't know why MC stuck around till the end because all she's gonna be able to use the money for is to pay for her therapy. Anyway I think MC should have been allowed to brutally murder everyone, she deserved it <3

Season 6: I liked the concept but I think they should have utilised it more. I'm still right at the very beginning (around ep 9) and I KNOW the general consensus from everyone who has reached the last eps seems to be that Amelia sucks MAJOR ass. But look, this is the first time a game has given me a MC with a canon family member who is also part of the game so in my opinion Amelia could commit war crimes and she's still be the most precious little uwu ever because I'm activating MC's insanely overprotective oblivious to all faults ""big"" sister mode

Edit:

*I just played more of S4 and holy shit someone needs to get this man away from his parents and also maybe get him some therapy jfc

Edit 2:

** youcef, mc & valentina helping tom figure out he likes flowers and pink and tie-dye clothes and makeup and being complimented and called pretty and getting hugs is getting to me okay his parents better watch the show and see their adult son finally discovering himself and what he likes instead of what they think he should like and finally being able to let loose and have fun without worrying about what others think of him and finally being happy and they better get some sense knocked into them OR he should go to therapy and realise that no matter how much he loves his parents their love and regard being so conditional to the point that he's hidden his entire personality and is now so extremely self-conscious of it whenever it does manage to peak out, that he nearly cries on national tv after a practical stranger compliments those hidden bits is not good. Also the man has some of the most insane repressed queer vibes???? What do you mean he sees a canon nonbinary person wearing a floppy hat and is reminded of the floppy hat he loved as a child that his father threw away and replaced with a baseball cap and then when he "lost" the baseball cap his father bought him the exact same one again

Edit 3:

*** i was 100% sure i was going to get mc to stick with najuma (dorky mischevious goth who is so so bad at flirting hello!!!?) but i got caught by "sad & shy with serious self-worth issues hidden badly behind an overconfident exterior (who blushes & gets flustered easily because he so rarely receives genuine praise/compliments) experiences postive regard for the first time and loses his shit" for the third fucking time

Edit 4:

Okay but why does Dylan get (rightfully) called out by everyone in S4 for all the bullshit he does to MC from blatantly lying to her to not listening when she says "No" But in S5 when Suresh (admittedly, more subtly) pulls off the same shit no one says anything, even MC's "friends" don't believe her.

In S2 when Luke/Henrik gets a little too forceful after MC says no, he gets called out by MC's partner and immediately apologises

In S4 when Dylan does the whole "stop pretending you don't want me" routine after MC rejects him multiple times, the rest of the islanders band together and basically chase him off the island

In S5 when Suresh pulls literally the same thing from the very first episode itself but none of the other islanders believe MC, and Suresh keeps getting to do this until almost the very end while also managing to constantly play hot & cold with MC and chase away all of MCs other romantic interests

[alitgblog]

litg characters I'd cast in romcoms

When Harry Met Sally: Seb as Harry!! Then Genevieve as his ex, Tom as MC's (Sally's) ex, Nicky as Seb's best friend, Elladine as MC's best friend

I actually have this all sorted how this would work out but my post got deleted 😭

Notting Hill: Jin as Hugh Grant's character (forgot his name lol) because in my head he's history nerd so like just imagine him in cozy sweaters okay. He's got that wacky roommate whose name I have also forgotten and naturally if we had to pick from S8, Liam, but I also think Jamal would be a fun pick (make the roommate less wacky and more just fun and wild though). The other version of this is Jake as as the main character with his roommate Tim.

Legally Blonde (and I'm going based off the musical): Literally only here because I know I can cast the lawyers, like clearly Suresh as Warner (and oh lean heavily on the implication that he cheated on MC while they were dating) and Blake or Marisol as Vivienne (I like her being cut throat but still looking for love). I'd really like Hari as Emmett because they have a backstory of working hard for their dream and would have a fun banter with the main character without being overly cheery and also is very competitive when needs to be although may be an underdog, but lowkey could also be anyone that has the very grounded boy next door vibe so like Tyler, Rohan, Jake, James, and Lewie are also good picks imo. The other sorority girls needs to include Chelsea, Thabi, basically any of MC's besties (...minus Amelia). It's hard to think of anyone as Paulette because she's an older character and everyone in the game is pretty young but we can further my Angie x Cora agenda and have it be Angie talking about her lost love and then in comes the hot deliverywoman, Cora. She also has like sage advice vibes when she's in the villa sometimes so I think that works.

She's All That: Gary as the main guy. Eddie as his shitty best friend. I don't know why but this came so quickly to me I'm not sure I'd even have to explain but like Gary gives off cool guy / player vibes but I'd also see him absolutely get into or at least support whatever weird artsy stuff his girlfriend is into and have a character arc and all that.

While You Were Sleeping: the OG "I fell in love with your brother while you were away" story, so clearly Ozzy as Peter, Marshall as the brother, Grace as the girl Ozzy's actually dating

How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days: Because I've already said Gary for a different romcom, I'm inclined to have the suave ladies man esque character be Will or Youcef. I also think an evolved Suresh or Finn or Mason or Levi could work. Often I forget about her but I think Lulu would be a fun whatever Kathryn Hahn's character's name is.

A Cinderella Story (the Hilary Duff version): I think the fandom's go to "I don't wanna do what my dad says" character may be Lucas but I want to give Oliver a chance as the sweet lead even though I remember nothing about his backstory in game. MC's best friend can be someone a little dorky and the only person coming to mind right now is Felix.

Ten Things I Hate About You: Again, a reformed Finn could've been so good. Instead, we're going for mysterious and brooding so I think Joyo is a good choice for Patrick. Then to continue the streak of me remembering S7 characters, I think Raf could be a good Cameron because he's got that innocence and silliness that works. Then we need the friend that gives Raf an explanation of how things work and I could see that going to Andy because he's a little silly and dorky but mostly pretty confident (slightly different vibe from the character but that's fine). Other option, Bruno. In the movie, I believe he also ends up with Kat's best friend, who I just remember being very confident and alternative vibes so I think Najuma, Cora, Bella, or Lottie for her. We also need Kat's sister Bianca, and that could be easy and I say it's Amelia, or we could pick a tolerable option like Bea. There's also the guy Bianca initially has a crush on, and dare I say we pick Toby?? Just a character that's full of nothing. Or it could just be someone pretty like Levi or someone rich and an asshole like Miles or Jasper. All I remember about Bianca's bestie is that she backstabs her at the end and since fusebox hates women that could be a number of characters but my pick is Sophie or Erikah.

I could go on forever so I must I choose to stop now before I get carried away 🤣

LITG Season 9

(Not Soul Sister related, people, just ranting)

After weeks and weeks of not playing I got up to date with season 9 and... Well, actually I didn't finish playing the latest volume. Same disappointments as always. I'm not one to post to complain but I'm kinda frustrated. Ranting got too long, so, under the cut.

First off I understand that male LIs are also infuriating and that wlw players are not this game's target audience (then again, there are few of those) but dude, at this point I'd rather not have any sapphic options. The last route I recall being actually good (by which I mean the female LI not stringing me along à la Marisol until the very end) was Najuma's and Angie's, and that was season 4. Yes, you can only couple up with Angie at the end too, but you get so many info about her, and so many sweet moments and bonding that I didn't even care. And it's more about her being unsure of her feelings than unwilling to be with you. Quite relatable. Peak of this game for me, if I'm being honest. Good friends to lovers, even if they went too far too fast with the sex scene in my opinion. Still, it was very well written!

But every single season after that had the female LI fucking drooling over several men (and sometimes women too) and then adding a half-assed line like, "'oh, but I don't know, I have my eyes on someone else too', she gives you a wink". Like that makes it okay? I think the only truly unapologetically loyal female LIs were Najuma and AJ back in season 3.

They put so little thought into incorporating the wlw routes that to make them progress you have ludicrous paths. Like, in my playthrough Henri won a challenge and as a prize my MC could actually dismiss him and choose to go to the hideaway with Natasha or Kelly instead. Like ??? That's just bad writing.

What's worse, we can't even make friends anymore, it's all about romance, which wipes out most of the appeal this game had for me. Practically every islander, even after you reject them, comes at the MC confessing their undying love like a crazy stalker for no reason, because we know nothing about each other! Besides half of the options you have to get to know more about what's happening around you force you to be an insufferable gossip or a petty child. "Let's listen to a private convo, MC", "Why don't you sneak a kiss with guy 2 to make guy 1 jealous?" And you have to pay an unfair amount of gems to do it, on top of it!

I want to get to know the characters BEFORE I choose who I want to pick. I want to know the characters even if they are not romanceable. It's ridiculous, though, that there are seasons in which you know more about your besties than you do about your LI. That's why Angie, or Seb, or Nicky, or Viv or Thabi, hell, even Hope and Lottie, wth all their flaunted flaws are so appealing. That's why Season 2 is so goddam popular. We had actual interactions back then. Now, whatever interactions there are, you just witness.

This is also why people like games like Too Hot to Handle so much more. I'm not really into guys but I still play their routes because it's good content beyond romance stuff. Hell, Jirayu may be my favourite out of this season's bunch. And they're all different! It's an interactive game, choices should matter.

At this point I'll probably stop playing and limit myself to read other people roasting Fusebox. Honestly, a company that asks for the fans' opinions season after season just to ignore all the feedback doesn't deserve half the players they still have.

There, ranting over XD

LITG S7 Ficlet 1: Stick or Twist? (Alex/MC)

~~~

Author's Note: I had to put my own spin on it because the game ai does not do this premise justice!

~~~

~~~

Jenna was ecstatic to been in the show. She had been watching the show for years and she loved it. She wanted to be an OG but she didn't get through because they thought she looked similar to Willow.

(Jenna was confused since Series 2 had Hope and Rosalia, and Series 4 had Najuma and Thabi all as OGs and those girls were all dark-skinned but okay then.)[1]

But Jenna was ecstatic to be in the Villa and the girls seemed nice enough, even Summer.

At first she had her eyes on Bryson but Alex caught her attention.

She grafted on all the guys, to get a feel for them, if she liked them. And so far, Rafael and Alex stood out to her. Bryson and Joyo were too complicated as they fought over Geri at some point so that was a no. And Rafael was loyal to his missus in the Villa.

So Jenna went for Alex who seemed open to her advances.

Now Jenna wasn't going to go throw Alex's partner Estelle under the bus like Summer was doing. That would come back to bite her in the bum like it did with Blake and Gabi from the previous seasons. Badmouthing the OGs never sat well with the audiences. That would send her home with a quickness like it did Blake.

She would have Alex like her genuinely.

Which was the harder road.

~~~

Summer was annoying.

She was too strong which was fine but she kept getting in Jenna's way.

Alex seemed a little off-put by it luckily.

Jenna grafted on him and Rafael but Rafael wasn't too receptive to her advances so she stopped. Rafael and Daphne were the 'strong' couple in the Villa, if she went after him, it would be more drama.

She continued to have chats with Alex and Bryson, and she liked Alex's simple outlook of being a family man, building a home and that sort of stuff. Alex seemed the more traditional type in her observation.

On the third day of Casa Amor, she managed to get a kiss out of Alex and she enjoyed it. It was a little bland but she could work with that.

Alex's face was red the whole evening and the guys teased him about it. Jenna felt proud. She was making progress.

They shared a bed that evening and Alex made his move on her, touching her intimately. They didn't do big bits but they did reach second base. No home run yet as Alex wasn't ready.

Still, it wasn't over. She couldn't get comfortable. There was still a chance Alex won't bring her back to the Villa and she would just be another bland Casa girl who was used for sex.

She didn't want that.

She talked to Alex about her goals and his goals and listened to him about his thoughts and feelings. He was pleased by that at least.

He didn't touch her intimately again but they did share a few snogs.

On the fourth day, she and the girls stepped up their game more. Casa Amor was ending soon and the girls wanted to make it into the Villa.

That evening, Alex invited her to sit with him on the loungers and Jenna held her breath.

"I would like to get to know you. I'm taking you back to the Villa." He stated.

Jenna was shocked, "You are?"

"Sure. I like you a lot. You seem nice and sweet."

"What about Estelle?" She had to ask.

Alex looked uncomfortable. "She'll... understand. I think." He shook his head. "I like you Jenna and I do want to get to know you."

Jenna was excited but until the Stick and Twist ceremony happened, she would be cautious.

~~~

"Now Alex," the host began. "Before you went to Casa Amor, you were coupled up with Estelle."

Alex nodded, "Yes."

"And how was Casa Amor for you?"

"It was good. I met some nice girls and one stood out to me."

Summer puffed her chest out and Jenna resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

"So Alex, you can choose to stay loyal to Estelle or you can couple up with one of these beautiful girls here." The host told him. "If you do couple up with one of these girls and Estelle doesn't couple up with one of the boys from Casa Amor, she will be single. But if Estelle does decide to couple up with a new boy, you two will be in new couples in the Villa."

"Yes," Alex nodded.

"So what will you like to do? Stick with Estelle or twist with one of these new girls?"

Jenna held her breath. This was the moment of truth. She wouldn't mind if he stuck with Estelle. She expected it. She did her best and it wasn't enough. She understood that. She would be okay. It was a fun time either way. She will be fine, she told herself.

...

...

"I would like to recouple."

Jenna looked shocked. The Casa girls gasped and the boys looked surprised.

"And who would you like to recouple with?" The host asked.

Alex's eyes fell on her and he did not hesitate. "Jenna."

Jenna was frozen. He wanted to recouple with her? She couldn't believe it.

She walked over to Alex on shaky legs, ignoring Summer's protests. Alex's arms wrapped around her and she was in his embrace.

"Jenna, how do you feel, now that Alex has recoupled with you?"

"I feel excited. I'm shocked honestly." She answered shakily.

After the host finished with them, she and Alex stood together as the ceremony continued.

"Why were you shocked? I said that I would recouple with you." Alex whispered.

"I was so sure that you would change your mind." Jenna smiled.

Alex grinned. "I meant what I said. I do want to get to know you, Jenna."

Jenna was on a high.

~~~

Jenna now stood with Alex in the back entrance in the Villa and she was afraid. She didn't know if Estelle twisted or not but she hoped she did. Either way, Alex made his choice.

When she and Alex walked out together into the Villa, where the girls were doing their Stick or Twist ceremony, there were gasps.

And Estelle stood alone, with no boy at her side.

Jenna's heart thumped painfully. Now she was the Blake in this situation now!

Estelle glared at her and Alex. Alex doesn't look at his former partner, instead he squeezed Jenna's hand and stood tall, not showing any emotions.

Jenna sighed. She was in the Villa now, but the game wasn't over yet.

It was just beginning.

~~~

Author's Note: Thank you so much for reading! This was a blast to write. I enjoyed going into Jenna's thoughts and feelings, because she, as Casa girl, will have a harder road.

[1] In this LITG universe with my MCs, only Rosalia (S2 MC - we know her from my series 'Alien'), Azere (S3 MC), Coco (S5 MC) and Cheryl (S6 MC) are OGs.

-Rachelle (S1 MC) came in as a bombshell with Rohan in this universe. Cherry is an OG. Cherrygate still happened.

-Tanya (S4 MC) came in as the first bombshell (she was the Priya of S4). She came three days later and she was eliminated before the finals with Youcef.

-Now Jenna (S7 MC) came in as a Casa Amor girl. Alex recouples with her and now this is her season.

In this universe, only two OG black girls are Hope and Rosalia back in S2, Thabi and Najuma in S4, and Cheryl and Grace in S6. Genevieve came in as bombshell in S3 as Azere coupled up with Harry.

That's it!

[geraldofallon]

So my sister unfortunately now has to skip litg seasons 2-3 BUT on the plus side she started season 4 and said “I’ve got it down bad for Najuma” so honestly she’s about to have the easiest time this season

[rachytales]

A couple bits'n'bobs from something I've been working on - it's still under WIP status cause it's a longboi.

LITG season 4, in-villa. Bruno gets the main character treatment.

I'm still tossing between doing chapter releases or waiting to drop it all in one go.

Sneaky peeky under the cut, thoughts are welcome!

“Mr Kaminski? Is this a bad time?”

***

Wait. Did they call to let you know they weren’t taking you? Surely not, there’d be hundreds of people they’d need to call. But that meant – focus, Bruno! The woman on the other end was still talking, what had she said?”

“Yes, I mean no, I mean. I’m sorry, I didn’t catch what you said.”

“I said we loved your application, are you still interested in appearing on the programme?”

Was he what???

“Are you pulling my leg right now? Did the lads put you up to this? You aren’t Steve’s brother’s girlfriend putting on a voice, are you?”

“No, no, and no.”

Well shit.

***

“We get all sorts of reactions to these calls, so don’t stress about it. We’ll be in touch with a contract and some other t’s and c’s in due course. Have a good day.”

Bruno stared dumbfounded at the screen. What the fuck had just happened?

***

Bruno felt sick with anticipation, he shouldn’t have watched this with his sisters, not if her outfit was anything like the other girls. And then, there she was. On the screen in front of him, shaking her hips to the beat, and wearing a full body banana costume. Wait, what? She was laughing, the boys were laughing, Nina and Zia had spilled the popcorn they were laughing so hard, and Bruno? Well, Bruno had only gone and fallen in love right then and there.

***

A thoughtful look on her face, she opted to slide in gracefully, positioning herself slightly further away from Bruno than he would have liked. He couldn’t tear his eyes away, she was even more captivating in real life. Trying to get out of his head, he gestured to the space between them with a smile.

“You can get closer, if you like. I don’t bite.”

“Oh?” She slid closer to him, smiling. “I do.”

Bruno gulped, audibly, and she laughed again. As Najuma and Youcef joined in, she gave his knee a quick squeeze under the water.

“Sorry, couldn’t help it. You left that wide open. I’m Evie.”

***

“So, Evie, you’re with Kobi, right? How’s that going?”

She shrugged. “Ah, he’s grand. To be honest, I only chose him because I wanted to get up Lexi’s nose a bit after she was being a cow, I don’t even fancy him really.” She looked awkward for a second. “Not that he’s bad looking! He’s aesthetically pleasing, I’ll give him that. He just doesn’t butter my toast, y’know?”

“He doesn’t…what?”

“We’re just mates.” Scrunching up her nose in annoyance, she added, “we don’t even cuddle.”

“Mon dieu.”

Bruno laughed. He couldn’t help it. This was the best possible answer she could have given! She’d made his day and didn’t even know it.

“Well, in that case, allow me to introduce myself – ”, he held out his hand towards her, “ – Bruno Kaminski, applying for the position of your boyfriend.”

LITG: Bombshell (1/2) Artbreeders

disclaimer: i used the original art from the game to make these artbreeder portraits
