The Islanders at the Met Gala 2024 - Part 1

as is kind of tradition by now, I make edits of our favourite islanders as though they were at the met gala. I've done this before as well, which you all can find here for 2022, and here and here for 2023. Like last year, I've had to divide it into two posts, with the girls first – link to part 2 here.

[taliasmoon]

it’s pretty obvious fusebox isn’t going to mention, let alone bring in an islander from, seasons 1-3 in all stars but let’s say hypothetically they did…i wouldn’t be mad if they brought back blake or shannon as a female li…

[ravenadottir]

ok, so the other day my partner and i were talking about characters' names, the context being "oh, some characters don't match the names they were given" and it got me thinking... what would i name the love island characters if i had that power... or what they would name themselves... it gets a little mixed, don't worry about it.

i'm doing this or all seasons, especially the ones i didn't play because... it's fun and i already don't know/care about their grace.

alright, let's begin!

gary - SOLID KYLE, and i say this as a gary stan. he looks like someone who would chug on mountain dew and post those cowboy tik toks showing off his truck. i'm sorry but if you're american you know it's true and it's undeniable. idk what the british equivalent of that is... perhaps gary LOL

ibrahim - chadwick something the third. i remember seeing someone making fun of chadwick boseman (rest in peace) because his name is so white, and by rahim's behavior and way of talking it's giving carlton from 'fresh prince of bel-air. he's a fucking chadwick and you cannot convince me otherwise.

lucas - his father would want to name him fucking archibald because they're filthy rich, but his mom knows better, so she chose lucas. i think it's perfect for him and i wouldn't change it.

henrik - a solid andreas. look at him, he's an andreas! very sweet but still nordic enough to make you wonder.

bobby - probably the day of the week he was born, because if his parents are dumb enough to name him bobby, what would stop them from naming him friday? or maybe the season he was born, spring...

jakub - his name can stay the same because he looks like a jakub, HOWEVER, he would demand everyone to call him by his nickname: white shark

rocco - fernando. and not in the way you say it in english or spanish, but in portuguese. "faer-nã-doo", he would insist because... he's a douche.

graham - a hebrew name that means lovely, so like... jeremiah, or jebediah. probably jebediah. he does not give graham, he gives "catholic mother that is a little too lost in bible lore".

arjun - because he's conceited, (i like him but that smirk is so over-the-top) rahul. every fucking raul or rahul i've ever met was a conceited jerk so... call this based off life experiences.

elijah - it's giving william, maybe willard, even wilford. definitely a nickname that leads you to believe it's william but it's every other name under the sun except for the most common.

kassam is actually perfect, the right amount of exotic vanilla that he disperses.

carl - a nerdy name that wasn't necessarily born in the 40's, so leonard. it's a solid mix between young and old for me, and that's just who carl is. leonard is leo when he's younger, then stays solid for a 30-something-yo, then it's even more solid when you get old. granted, so is carl but i hate that fucking name.

noah - ambrose. um... SHOULD I JUST MOVE ON? it's perfect for him!

felix - (my partner said "lobster" without a second thought and i thought i would share with the class) but to me he looks like a solid martin, although he tries to make a nickname like max catch on, it's not successful.

the s2 girls:

lottie - she probably has a conservative name, like anne marie but lies about it saying she was named after a witch, like piper or sybil. final name would be piper (charmed fans will get it).

hope - viola. i love it, it's simple, small and it can mean so many things depending on what language you speak. in english is a type of violin, but in portuguese it's a type of guitar, and i love that for her. she's a very musical person so that's my name for her.

marisol - she's a solid valentina, the type of name that says a lot about personality. marisol, to me, is such a whimsical name. it doesn't say "intelligent, brave, bold", it says "i sell flowers by the road and wear a dress made out of hemp. also i call my vagina sacred temple." and that's not what homegirl is giving, so definitely valentina.

chelsea - i just hate the name chelsea, despite thinking she looks like one, so i'm naming her summer, because bright, hot, a little out there. everyone named summer (except the girl in The O.C) is a whimsical person, and that's how i feel she is.

hannah - she's a fucking daisy.

shannon - she's giving "my parents gave me the whitest name they could think of but i use a cool nickname" so i'm naming her madison but she calls herself "mad". her parents though? "maddie!"

blake - she's a fully-blown yasmin. it's the type of name that makes you second guess everything you thought about the person because you're not sure where that name is from, or what it means, and that's how i feel about her.

priya - i actually love that name for her, and i don't have as much contact with female indian names to have that... knowledge you know? i like it, keep it.

elisa - beatrice, but she uses "bea" and the bea-hive, because branding. WHY CALLING HER A NAME THAT CANNOT BE USED AS A BRAND, S2 WRITERS???? what was your thought process???

jo - every single girl i've met that is like jo was named angela. girls that will be like "i'll tell you one thing: i don't play games and i don't engage in drama" and baby, that's all they're doing, they're playing games and portraying an angel. fucking angela.

r!hannah - her name is still daisy but she corrects people, wanting to be addressed as "daze", because she's a bad girl now and fucking unbearable.

S2 Day 14: 6 New Girls

Alana, Blake, Chloe, Emily, Shannon and Siobhan

Prelim draft- not 100% satisfied... so may also use some other programs , like pixelcut, facetune on Alana, Chloe, Emily, Siobhan.

Original sprites are fusebox girls. Faces, hair, clothing from other sites like Sims4 & Pinterest.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

[mrsbsmooth]

I don't understand why y'all quickly forgive Lurik so easily for switching from Casa Amor, but y'all quickly trashing Mason/Levi during Cherrygate arc. Aren't they interchangeable?

No I get where you're coming from! BUUUUUUUT I think the difference is that Casa Amor fucks with everyones head.

You must remember: Casa Girls will actively lie and manipulate the guys in order to get back into the main villa. They have a vested interest in spinning the story in their favour

The way it's presented is S2 is that Lurik and MC have a really good connection, but it really hasn't been that long for them. But they go to Casa, and suddenly get blasted from all sides that MC is either: a) disloyal b) a game player after the money c) not actually as into them as they make out to be

You have to remember that the girls were away for three days. That's a long ass time when you've been 'dating' someone for less than a week. It's almost half the total time! If you'd been dating someone two years, it's like being absolutely no contact with them for ten months! Honestly I don't think we give Bobby&Gary enough credit for not cracking on baahahhaa.

Honestly, Henrik makes way less sense than Lucas, because that man just does whatever he feels suits him on any given day. But Lucas?? Makes total sense. He is so concerned with how he looks, how he presents himself, he would be freaking out about the idea of looking like an idiot if MC brought some guy back and he didn't. So of course he would bring someone back.

Compare all of this to season 1, where the only extenuating circumstance is "Oh, Erikah said you had something going on with someone else."

Like, okay, cool. But you could've come and SPOKEN TO ME about it, I was RIGHT THERE! You could've come back downstairs and woken me up, and said "hey, MC, I need to talk to you about something Erikah said, It's playing on my mind and I can't sleep."

PROBLEM FUCKING SOLVED.

Neither of them did that. Instead, they kissed another girl behind our back, less than 20 metres away. And for that reason, what they did is less forgivable.

[rebelrayne]

I will be posting the results later today, but wanted to put this out first to link it to that post! Below the cut are some of the Islanders that received negative scores and I'd like to invite you to read some/all of the fics so you can see another side of these characters. These are just some of the fics out there, some characters had multiple options and I narrowed it down. I did opt to go the romance route, so no platonic fics or bittersweet endings are listed.

If a fic has an asterisk* next to it, you must have an AO3 account to access and read it.

You should do me! Why would anyone forgot about me?

Hi Blake! Wow, I'm honored?! Even the Islanders are sending me asks? I'm a little star struck, but here you go!

Apparently @lucas-koh didn't recieve her gift for the @litgfemslashfebgiftexchange and I just couldn't let that slide, so here's something just for you Margot! I really hope you love it!

Summary: Something about Valerie just gets under Blake's skin. She's too nice, too perfect. And Blake can't stand watching her charm the entire villa. But now that Blake's staying in the game, she's determined to figure out what exactly makes her hate Valerie so much.

The Islanders at the Met Gala 2023 - Part 1

I've been nudged by a few people, and so here they are in all their chaotic glory! I made so many this year I've even had to divide it into two posts, this one for the girls and the other for the boys – link to part 2.

Here's the post from last year for those curious.

[0shewrites0]

Did Lucas deserved to be cheated on by MC with rHenrik because she was still hurting about the former switching with Blake?

Hey anon, thanks for this ask!

The short answer to this question is, No, I don’t think Lucas deserves to get cheated on by MC with r!Henrik.

The long answer: No. No matter the reason. It's very late in the game (literally less than a week until the finale) and if MC still thinks she can't trust Lucas, fine. That's valid. But why stoop so low and cheat on him? With his best buddy at that? You can't justify that by MC thinking he deserves it because he switched to Blake after Casa Amor, that's not even comparable. That's purely selfish and has nothing to do with being hurt. But it has everything to do with MC wanting to make Lucas pay for what he did to her and her being out for revenge.

The very long answer (and the one that best explains my reasoning imo): A mutual and I have come up with a theory as to why Lucas switched to Blake in the first place. And when you take all that into account, the betrayal of him is far worse than anything he's ever done. Because he didn't switch to Blake because he got tired of MC overnight. He did it because he thought MC didn't want him that bad. He thought she wanted to be with Henrik first and foremost. So if you cheat on him, it will only confirm his suspicions (and later even his fear - that's why he's so anxious and jealous the day Henrik re-enters the villa) that he's had since day 7, and will completely destroy his trust in people - or more specifically, women. And because he couldn't help but develop feelings for MC anyway, it's going to hurt like hell for him. Literally.

Yes, Blake fics exist. Most people hate her, but some of us wish she were an LI and like to imagine a personality for her outside of what the game stuck her with.

LOVE ISLAND S2 FINALE DRESSES

Just for fun today at lunch I decided to give S2 girls a fashion update from the Finale. I liked MC, Chelsea and Hannah prom dresses but the others were seriouosly lacking in style. Lottie looked like she was wearing a fish net and Hope's dress color was lovely but didn't care for the style. Here are the girls new looks which were selected from fashionnova website. Maybe in future I'll select another fashion site and do the same. Maybe from Nookie, Jovani or Nadine Merabi. Oh, my FAV is couturecandy but pricey!!!
