Any Rafi fans out there?

I wrote a short little sweetie (only 3.5 pages) for him based on Leonard Cohen’s song “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye”

Rafi and Gracie wake up on their last day of Love Island.

Read on AO3 or Wattpad

Hope you enjoy!

Would love you to do Rafi and Lily, since they're interchangeable love interests/rivals.

I can do Rafi and Lily together on this post for you!

If you could actually enter a season of litg- which would you pick?

my practical mind says season three because I’ll at least not have to deal with any drama, will most likely not strangle anyone, or get dumped. and at the end, i’ll still get my boi rafi!

my chaotic side says throw me into season six, let me at ‘em.

The fact I got Talia, Henrik, Rafi and Tom. @rebelrayne can we discuss this shack thing?

take a screenshot and share how you're doing in life 😘

and no, i will not be doing s5. i live in a world where that season does not exist. it's a really beautiful world.

[alitgblog]

so i came up with a rough idea for a scott pilgrim inspired litg au where you have an evil ex from each season (minus season 8 since it's coming out now)

Bobby would be the main character, which I didn't want at first because he's the most popular LI but I think his personality seems the most likely to get into this situation (minus the Scott Pilgrim being an incel but that's why it's inspired and not a one to one). Also works since he's in a band.

Obviously MC is his dream girl (Ramona in the movie). Could probably have Noah be his roommate, who is bookish and also a little sick of his problems. Then you have the other band members: Lottie is the drummer (who is also Bobby's ex who's still a little mad at him), idrc who the guitarist is lol, and then I think it'd be funny to have a character who wants to be in the band but they don't let him until the end and that should be Felix.

The stuff about Knives I understand is important to the Scott Pilgrim story but I'm not a huge fan of the "dating a high schooler" part lol. Still, we can have a character that he's dating who's all in and he is not but he doesn't have the heart to break up with her and ends up breaking her heart anyway, and that's probably Hannah.

MC shows up to his concert and then you meet the first evil ex, Dylan. And MC is like oh they dated for a week in middle school and after she broke his heart, he kind of became the asshole we know him as now. (the only reason I'm picking Dylan first is because I think Matthew Patel is one of the more cringe exes and I just simply couldn't do that to anyone else in s4, plus after the exposition he just gets thrown away anyway).

Next, Bobby, Noah, and MC all go visit a local movie set and they see her next ex, Rafi. I don't know why I always picture Rafi with his like weird smouldering face, but that honestly works well with this character, if you've ever seen pictures of Chris Evans in this movie. Because there's a skateboarding aspect in this, I did consider it should be Jamal, but for the bit I already picked a s6 character so it had to be someone else lol.

Anyway, Rafi gets defeated by his arrogance and then Bobby's band is playing in a contest, where he sees his ex and her new band mate/boyfriend, Mason, who is also MC's ex. As for Bobby's ex, it doesn't matter too much but I could see it being Yasmin since she's also a singer, Priya because she canonically is a fan of Mason's band (i think?) and there are routes where she's initially coupled up with Bobby, or Elisa because I think on some s2 routes she goes for Bobby but also I just like her aesthetic compared to this character in the movie. Also I just think either of them look good next to Mason (maybe they don't fit personality wise but they'd look good)

So Mason gets defeated, probably not with the vegan thing (but if we switch Mason for Levi, I could believe that), but something silly other than physically beating him. Next ex is Bonnie, who is clingy as hell. I don't think we should keep the part where Ramona calls it her like college experimentation stuff because that's not a great stereotype, but I kinda like the idea that Bonnie thinks they were in a relationship and had something but MC is like, no, clearly not.

The next exes are the twins, and so I had no other choice than to make this Ozzy and Marshall. I also think MC probably drove them apart and then when they finally compared stories they finally became friends again and are out for vengeance. Anyway, they get defeated.

Last but not least, the ex to rival all exes, the titular character of s5, we have Suresh running this shit. He is so hung up over MC that he set up this whole league. Literally nothing about his character would make me think he'd do this (because this character in Scott Pilgrim is so malicious actually), but he is the "ex in the villa" so he's gotta be the final boss.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RAFI FIC!!!! HES MY S3 LI AND I FEEL LIKE HES SO UNDERRATED!!!!

Omg thank you!! I’m so glad you liked it! I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT agree. He is so underrated. He’s just so lovely and kind and hot.

I actually have a slightly longer fic for him I’ve got mostly done so I’ll post that eventually!

[beesandfigs-abandoned]

Look at this underrated cutie 🥰

Had a last-minute burst of inspiration for this month's prompt: write a Shakespeare inspired fic.

Summary: Zara's in love with Rafi. Lottie's in love with Gary. But Zara's been forced into a fake relationship with Gary. An upset Rafi gets some help from a mysterious stranger. What could possibly go wrong?

Pairing: Rafi/MC

Rating: T

I’m coming back and coming in with the worst hot take ever but here it goes.

I think Rafi is one of the best litg characters of all time. I wouldn’t even be able to articulate just why, but there is something so markedly unhinged and camp about him. He’s coming into this show with the mentality that he’s just a normal hot guy, and on the surface he looks exactly like those generic sex game ad hotties or the gigachad meme, but you talk to him and you’re just affronted with the fact that this dude is just so weird 😭 it’s not even like in a bad way it’s in like a camp as hell, over the top fun way like the fact he just up and left if MC didn’t pick him? Chad. The way he cries over literally nothing? Emotionally in tune king. Casually dropping that he listens to death metal? Real. Wearing that stinky perfume because he’s getting paid to? Major bag alert. It’s so much funnier to me because canonically he’s the most famous Islander post show, he literally falls upwards. That man came into the Villa with nothing but £45 in Topman vouchers, a popped collar and a dream. I love him.

[girlsontourgirlsontour]

Ugh unpopular opinion but I think I’m gonna miss season 3 the most, the cast is so hot I want to play all routes 😭
