#luke and nic deserve kindness

[herejusttosufferalong]

You know I feel like lots of people in the fandom put Nick on the pedestal, forgetting they are first of all humans. I love her, and she's indeed a goddess, but some blogs don't look at her from the perspective of being human now. Unhealthy dynamics and also put a lot of pressure on her.At the same time they drag Luke and are biased towards him. Although, I do question his choices a lot right now, but why does everyone suddenly forget that being human is learning and making mistakes? He's a good guy and a good actor. They're both wonderful people. I am not saying that fans aren't allowed to be angry, but some are just over the top. They somehow don't have problems with Nic being blatantly flirty with him, considering facts he had a serious girlfriend. Isn't that fair ?Jade didn't get the same treatment, you know. And they're apologetic of her, but the thing is Luke and Nic are both messy. Luke more though. Sometimes I just want to say to all of that fan Nics blogs — chill, y'all. Stop weaponizing them against each other and grab the concept of ambiguity. There's no black and white here, people make questionable choices and Nicola is not an angel either( I do love her though very much). Be human

Thank you for sharing.

I think it's extremely important to remember that we are all flawed.

No one is perfect nor will they react perfect to things.

On lukola fandom

Here’s some venting about the lukola fandom, and its ways, and consequences, from an ordinary polin, Bridgerton and Luke fan.

Starting from the way Luke’s loved ones and friends are treated by its adherents. Especially his girlfriend. The hate towards her is visceral. The whole phenomenon of bullying and stalking someone just for existing and posting on their SM account from time to time probably needs to be studied by social studies scholars and parasocial relationship specialists, cause it’s new heights apparently.

So, what if she’s proud of Luke as her boyfriend and wants to show it? What if she wants to mark her territory sometimes, to which she has a right btw? What if she trolls haters and delusional IRL shippers occasionally? Hers is probably the most relatable behavior. I myself, as an introvert millennial who doesn’t run one single SM account and cringe from the exhibitionist nature of current SM posting practices, still recognize that there’s nothing unusual about that kind of posting per se. Why was Luke’s former gf, Jade, allowed to post him all the time (which is totally alright btw), but Antonia hinting at having, say, a dinner with Luke is shady, attention-seeking, desperate, needy and despicable?

It's not that I care particularly about her. In fact, I couldn’t care less if she’s replaced by Luke with some other woman in a couple of months or if she is his future wife and mother to his kids. I still believe, regardless of her status in the relationship, she deserves basic respect and decent treatment as a human being that we know pretty much nothing about. She does not deserve the vilification and demonization that she gets.

Luke too, has a right to privacy and respect for his personal choices that are nobody’s business. He owes no one anything in terms of disclosing his dating life and confirming his relationships. If for someone, Luke bringing the girl to almost all his travels and events with himself, is not a proof or statement in and of itself about her being his girlfriend, then that’s on them. No amount of intentional misreading and skewed takes on photos will trump this simple fact.

Also please don’t bring up virtue signaling and other cancel culture stupidities, such as moral judgements passed on Luke and his close ones for political or other values purportedly held by them, of which we in fact know zilch. It’s clear that this is just another useful tool in a shipping crusade.

Nicola too, deserves, for a change, to have her numerous statements taken seriously. Let alone, privacy. She’s being stalked by her so-called fans to insanity. I am sure she, to put it mildly, is uncomfortable about her “queen” and “goddess” status among the cultists, and being a projection vessel for a myriad of sad women. Cause she knows very well this type of passionate idolatry is an inch away from hate, and the plus sign switches to a minus sign the minute she does something not to their liking, a wrong brand or person supported, or not enough disciplining of Luke is exercised. The most delusional thing about lukolas is them truly believing themselves to be Nic’s or Luke’s fans.

Which brings us to the crux of the matter. That IRL shipping is bad, period. Some lukola bloggers on tumblr, TT and IG half-heartedly try to reign in and admonish the more unhinged segment of the fandom by telling them to behave and not bring their bul..t to the actors' feet. However, this is what the lukola discourse platforms, by simply existing, still do - breed crazy fan behavior. Because the problem lies in the belief system itself. No amount of reservations, house-keeping and discipline by lukola discourse 'leaders' will do away with the tenets and premises of this religion that seep through and twist every discussion and speculation about the figures involved (Luke, Nic, etc). Since every reasoning should work towards a certain end goal, all means and distortions are good to achieve it. Finding faults with Luke's character and behavior and demanding a 'redemption' from him, hating and criticizing Luke's friends and family, attributing motivations to the actors and their loved ones that best suit theories, online stalking etc. A myth about Luke ever publicly stating he was single during promo, a ridiculous myth about Bridgerton cast and showrunners shipping lukola (news flash – nobody in the cast cares about their co-stars’ private lives, stop the kindergarten), or the “papgate” affecting in any way Luke’s job prospects. Myths upon myths that build the house of cards of the lukola dogma. I myself wouldn’t care a damn about this fandom if it really contained itself to its close corners and group chats, however, unsurprisingly, they spill over in a grand fashion and permeate all discourse.

You really believe the innocent delulu fangirling has no by-products? These are the staple manifestations of the lukola and of any IRL shipping fandom, and popular lukola theorists are pretty successful in justifying and reinforcing them. And it should not be surprising that some followers, the most zealous and stupid ones, take it too far and actually harass people and be annoying in SM.

As a Luke and polin fan, I am annoyed by this, but I am 100% sure this sh*t is affecting the actors, and you all can kiss goodbye to the chemistry between Luke and Nic naturally displayed during promo. I am sure polin will not be affected, for L and N are excellent actors and friends, but you all soon will look sadly back to S3 promo tour as magic that will never come back.

Sunday Morning Lukola Thoughts ☕️

I'll say this to start. The people who are upset that people even care this deeply about Nicola Coughlan's personal life should exit anything fandom or pop culture adjacent. There is a whole phenomenon where people do this, all over the world and for all kinds of people. It is a *thing*. And with that said, Nicola (and Luke for that matter during the WT) have commented on it several times not only that they know people will ship them and/or their characters, but also that they're ok with it. Nic herself has mentioned similar behavior (not sure how deep she was in it all but it was probably before social was as much as it is not so probably not as) herself. She gets it. Actually, she gets it to the point where she plays along for the most part and drops easter eggs herself. Luke has whipped crumbs off her face during an interview and said "they're going to love this" and smirked. So if your problem is the actually shipping, it's pretty moot to me.

With that, there are of course people that take it too far. But when I say that is the minority of people. Folks, it is a teeny tiny percent. It's still unfortunate because yes sometimes they dabble into unsafe/unhealthy actions and it reflects poorly on the fandom. It is our duty to act with integrity and try to neutralize these people as much as possible. There is always line in the sand that you need to be conscious of not only for that person's health and safety, but honestly for your own mental health.

So my next note, mental health. Fandoms/shipping has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health (to me, in a time where we as a society need it the most). It brings a sense of belonging and community, gives creative outlets for self-expression (edits, live blogging, non-live blogging, fanfic, art, the list goes on and on), improved self-esteem and even escapism, it can help people explore relationships and identity, and SO much more. To me, there was more pros than cons to the it all.

For me personally life has been rough I'd say the last year or so but if I'm being honest more like the last 5. I've needed an escape. Fandom life (Lukola right now, but previous fandoms although rarely before now RPF) have helped me escape. It's a place for me to almost work on affirmations. I'm about to try to manifest positivity and energy between Luke and Nicola in a way that I struggle to do for myself. I tend to notice that when I do this, it becomes EASIER to do it for myself. I start to think if I can be this positive about fictional characters or in this case two people that I don't even know, why can't I do it for myself? Why don't I deserve the same happiness?

But that's just me.

And as a quick note, I haven't even began to cover how Nicola Coughlan herself has been an inspiration to me and thousands and thousands of other women out there but I will circle back to it.

Anyway, these were some initial thoughts on some Lukola hot topics floating around right now. I know I've barely scratched the surface at all but wanted to start here.

[the-other-art-blog]

I had been debating about posting this or not, but I'm going to because this fandom is getting on my nerves even worse than in the last 2 years.

And just to be clear before anyone accuses me of anything, I invite you to spend one minute on my blog. My favorite book is AOFAG. Even when I am highly HIGHLY critical of Benedict for being an absolute jerk for about 70% of the story, Sophie Beckett is the greatest character that Julia has ever written. She's everything that's good in the world 🥹 and her strength saves this story. Benedict has awesome moments and he apologizes in the end, which is rare in JQ's books, so, he has that on his favor + an incredible love confession that Luke T will absolutely nail (I still think JQ cannot write class-difference stories but whatever) Show!Ben is everything book!Sophie deserves and is going to make the adaptation so much better. I can't wait to see that.

I need Sophie in my life.

I've also written many stories about benophie and posted a lot of love for them for the past 2 years.

And you know what I have also seen in those 2 years? Benophie stans being vile, aggressive, rude, and simply put, absolute bitches. They claim to stan Sophie because of how kind she was despite her circumstances but when the news of s3 came out, they turned into full-time haters.

Now that the antipolin blog published something about the actors they like (they even lied about Claudia Jessie!), NOW they are cutting ties with that account and publishing what seems like "PR statements" (loved how a fan called this on tw) saying that the admin of that blog does not represent them. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. AND FALSE. Forgive me for not believing you but that blog repeated the same lies you were all saying.

A few months ago, an account on tw posted something like "I have never seen a Benophie being hateful or attacking Polin." Obviously, Polins began replying with ss of the anti blog and other crazy stans. And I didn't see any big account of Benophie come out and admit that that was wrong or cut ties with those problematic people.

For 2 years,

You called Nic an alcoholic and lazy when she posted about Champagne Fridays.

You called Luke Newton ugly every chance you got.

You cut him out of promotional photos and bts or you put something on his face, even when the photos were shared BY HIM. You use HIS photos where Luke T appeared to throw hate at him.

You made tasteless and aggressive comments about the actors and Polin for 2 years, and whenever someone called you out for that, you claimed it to be a joke and that we lacked humor. It even happened on Benophie week 2023 by the account that organizes it!

You claimed that Nic had access to the writers' room, force s3 to be hers, and purposely took SA's screen time and promo opportunities. Nic had to come out and ask all of you to stop sending hate. The unfairness of promo/screen time for Kanthony was not something Nic or Luke did, blame production for that.

You say her activism is performative cause it would kill you to admit that she's doing something good that other actors have ignored so far.

There was not one single post made by the Bton accounts or JQ that did not contain hate toward the actors/ship on the comments, even today that Benophie season is confirmed.

Even a few months ago, I published a few posts about s3. They were positive posts about Pen's makeover and how important it was for me, and this is the kind of messages I got:

Was it from a Benophie? I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. Also, this is the only one I ss, but I got at least 4 of them after this post (x).

Those very people who are crying right now that Benophies is being associated with the anti polin bitch were spreading the same rumors that she mentioned. And they never showed remorse!

Don't come now and say it's just ONE antipolin blog that spread all the hate. She's not talking to herself either, those anons are real because her posts have likes, so she definitely has an audience. I've met them. Unfortunately, every group chat or discord channel about Benophie is not a safe place for anyone who enjoys Polin.

And yes, I know there are equally disgusting people on the Polin fandom that I have also blocked cause they keep attacking Marina, they claim Pen is a saint when she made big mistakes, and they have also spread rumors and insulted fans and actors like Simone Ashley and Ruby Barker, not to mention the people who are obsessed with LukexNic and attack his gf. Like seriously people, you all need to be institutionalized. There is a big HUGE problem in that fandom too, but right now certain benophies are acting all innocent when I have been here also for 2 years witnessing their hate. No! I can't.

I also can't stand that most of them are loving Cressida because the patriarchy forced her to be an absolute bitch. But Pen is the antiChrist.

Some of them even justify Richard's neglect and abuse. "Richard couldn't leave Sophie with anyone else," "Richard truly loved Sophie." Seriously people.

I know most of them will ignore my post, block me even or come to my inbox to insult me. And I don't care. I haven't seen any other person admitting how hypocritical they are being.

If this offends you, I will assume you participated in the 2-year tantrum against Polin.

That's it. End of rant.

Sorry to be so negative but this really pissed me off. That statement! The nerve!!!! Ok ok, now I'm done.

Next, I will post much more positive, lovely Benophie stuff. These people are not going to ruin Benophie season for me.

Thoughts on Bridgerton season 3

No one asked, but putting it out there. (Written after viewing part 1.)

The Good

Polin - it’s their season after all. There is plenty of them and a lot of scenes pulled right from the book. I don’t think Colin/Newts is all that charismatic or great at acting tbh, but Pen/Nic is carrying the season. Seeing through her eyes, there is a compelling story of self-acceptance, struggle and romance. I was whooping whenever she got steamy with her man.

Debling - wonderfully acted and such an interesting addition to the ton, I love this character. He is so kind and honest, he deserves the world.

Francesca & John - Hannah Dodd is doing a wonderful job. We get to see the one and only shy Bridgerton, which is novel. Her odd chemistry with John is magical and I am already fucked up about them. I’m more invested in them than Polin 😅

Eloise - we are seeing more facets of Eloise which is wonderful. That she is willing to look deeper at peoples’ true character - including Cressida and Pen, though the reconciliation with Pen isn’t finalized yet. Cressida also makes Eloise check herself, her assumptions and privileges which is crucial for her development. She’s growing this season.

The Cowpers - redemption arc for Cressida incoming! We are learning that her bitchiness stems from a competitive nature, which she feels she must have to secure a good match thanks to pressures from her awful parents. This is interesting in its own right but please please please have Sophie also being mistreated in their household. That would be the bow on top.

Marcus Anderson - hello handsome! He is wonderfully acted and immediately has a warm spark with Violet. The mystery is built as to why Lady D is so aggravated by him. What has he done in the past that makes her wary of him?

The music - great instrumental covers of on-point pop songs and revisiting a few tried and true Bridgerton original themes.

The Bad

Kanthony - But only for part 1. I'm guessing they had to work around JB's busy shooting schedule, but it sucks they found a lame way to essentially write them out of episodes 2-4. I'm happy to see from the trailer there will be more of them in part 2.

Benedict - for fucks sake, he does nothing. Season 2 might as well not have happened. Not only is he not sad nor frustrated with Anthony about art school, he has no introspection or personal development in part 1. He’s just shoved in the background again, making sassy little comments and fucking a random lady. Where is this ‘crucial role’ the showrunner mentioned? What ‘comes to a head’ for him as Luke keeps alluding to? All of his material must happen in part 2 because there is nothing in part 1.

The fucking Featheringtons - I know the entail is a plot line set up by season 2, but getting into microscopic detail about the sex lives of the elder two Featherington sisters is not the comic relief the show thinks it is. It actually makes me nauseous. The whole ‘race to produce an heir’ could have been a single line explanation from Portia and screen time with the Featherington couples could have been spent on more Benedict.

The sex - part 2 better be mind blowing because Nicola’s claim that Polin has ‘won the steamy battle’ is unfounded based on the first four episodes. Okay we’ve got Anthony and Benedict each with a scene between the sheets kissing ladies but not a single Bridgerbum to be seen. The claims of ‘threesomes’ and ‘lesbian sex’ are extremely generous. It’s 5 seconds of Colin kissing sex workers and them peformatively kissing each other. I know we have the mirror scene coming in part 2 which threatens to blow the roof off anything Saphne and Kanthony did but thus far, I am unimpressed. It feels more buttoned up than ever.

Now, I have also watched part 2 in its entirety. Without spoiling any details, see below the cut for a general note.

Part 2 contains some MAJOR twists that I feel are going to fracture the fandom. Brace yourselves.

[mariailoveyou-guerin]

the two faced behavior of this fandom as in polin and lukola fandom oh it’s to funny I can’t even take them seriously not that I did before anyways but the fact all the comments in any comment section posting these pics on any and all polin nic accounts is all positive as it should be in normal sane world but the way it was the complete opposite for Luke when he was seen happy with his girl not only did they attack him to no end but the girl too for most silly reasons like hee age and this man is also 24 😂 KARMA and nic is 37 so where’s the outrage of her dating younger? when y’all was calling

Luke all the cruel nasty names under the sun and even bringing up his work life and calling him names there too but with Nicola it’s so happy for her she deserves happiness which she does and even more so and it was she deserves a break vacation time with her bf/friends and whoever but with Luke it was nonstop hate for him his friends getting called all kinds of stuff and his gf 😂 the double standards and the hypocrisy got you all in 4K I knew what it was all about which in the end using nic as self insert and since luke didn’t wanna indulge y’all in your little silly delulu fantasies it was hes the devil and since nic is y’all self insert y’all can’t hate her for also not indulging in your delulu fantasies bc that’s like you just hating yourself if you hate on the person you are all self projecting on anyways hope this makes Luke finally free seeing how nic is also happy and has a bf or is in a relationship now leave Luke personal and work life stop calling him names and leave his girl and and his friends alone thank you both our favs are happy and that’s all that matters right both got their own life

[darcytaylor]

Honestly, I hope the best for Luke and what you said - surrounding himself with the right people. While it’s easy to sit with popcorn as an audience member watching it all unfold, you can’t help but feel sorry, when you see one half of a committed pair (committed to their project ie Bridgerton) for several months just skyrocket and the other … not.

Nics got the Kardashians (as much as most dislike them, they’re still crazy famous) digging in to her DMs, Salma Hayek posting pictures with her, just generic words going viral and becoming a song that she’s dedicating profits to different lbgtq charities, and all sorts of wonderful things.

And you want Luke to be able to embrace some of it but he’s seemingly trying to just distance himself entirely. He’s not the type, but I would’ve loved to have seen a post dedicated to at least Johnny and Rege (I can see why he doesn’t do Nic at the moment, gf issues and people will say it’s 100% PR and all sorts of ugly words) talking about how nice it was to be the lead of Bridgerton, and how he looks forward to the next chapter. Some gratitude, some humility, seemingly loving his time and cherishing it. The opportunities he got through Bridgerton - traveling the world, doing fan events, working with all sorts of amazing designers - I’m sure that was a once in a lifetime experience for him.

You see Nics love constantly, and she’s just bursting with good energy and good humor.

I don’t know, this is just a rant but I’m just sad. I want Luke to do better in his professional life! And I wish I could see some of it so far, but it just seems like he doesn’t care.

Luke has really made some weird decisions with his career and in his personal life. While Nicola has been working her ass off and we are able to see her reap the benefits of that.

I think Nicola having to really work herself up from the bottom, being a woman in a very male dominated industry (and an industry that really caters to men), has made her work extra hard and not take anything for granted.

I'm very proud of what Nicola has been able to accomplish and she deserves it!

Luke still has time to turn his mistakes and set backs around. We just have to wait and see if he truly wants that. Or if he is willing to make the sacrifices to do that.

We should all just really appreciate Nicola's dedication to her craft and follow her along on her journey.

As for Luke we can all just hope for the best, that's kind of the only thing we can do at the moment.

[herejusttosufferalong]

Part of me wonders if Luke’s lack of engagement and attempt to rebrand away from Bridgerton is in response to the final edit of the season itself. There’s a point in the press tour that I think coincides with when he’d have seen the final edit of the season where he just kind of seems over it in interviews.

As much as I loved this season production did not give Colin’s character the storyline he deserved. They left last season with him trashing Pen, which Luke caught a lot of the flack for online and then they failed to really redeem him this year. The whole second half he was silently brooding. After a few rewatches I’m okay with the story, but they didn’t really give colin/luke much time to shine on screen. He’s not the lead of the season, Pen is. And I don’t think it’s due to his acting or character…it’s the way they edited the story and his scenes. All of his character development comes out in service to Pens story, rather than his own.

And then in the press tour, interviewers started to also show that Nicola was clearly the breakout star. Questions were deliberately asked to her while he just kind of sits there. I know some of it is because she’s just more natural in interviews, but I think a lot more was that no one was super interested in what he had to say. There was even an interviewer from the Ireland leg of the trip who gave this glowing review of interviewing Nic and then said well he’s cute when the segment was shown on morning tv the next day. 😬

So while I’m also frustrated he hasn’t been hyping Bridgerton much, I’m wondering if it’s because he figured out he was sacrificed as the lead to make enough room for Pen/Nicola. And this isn’t a pouty response but an attempt to try to brand himself as a leading man on his own since Bton didn’t seem interested in doing that. (I don’t know that it is working but A for effort I guess?)

honestly I could see this more than anything

My biggest gripe, outside of limited screen time for Polin, is what they did to Colin's character

I hate the way the handled the whole LW plot line, there is no redeeming quality for me.

They set Colin up again as the bad guy in part 2.

They could have done so much better but I do think Luke did the best he could with what he was given.

He also gave the superior performance even though he was reduced to a side character.

And don't even get me started on the press tour/junkets...

[narastories]

Hi Nara! To celebrate your new fic, I humbly submit Harry/Nicodemus to you for the ship bingo. (And Simms/Eileen if you feel like doing two!)

Thank you <3

Aaah, it takes a special kindness to ask me about a ship that you don't interact with. Thank you, friend <3

Harry/Nicodemus, my darlings

my friends are tired of me screaming about this. Yes, very tired, probably. I'm sorry. I don't intend to stop tho ^^"

I'm going to hit them with a crowbar. Gently. I mean neither will break. So I'm going to gently bonk them until they talk to each other properly and kiss lol

train wreck but I can't look away. They have a counter of how many attempts they made on each other's lives.

I want to write fics for this and luckily I doooo write fics for this <3

THAT one scene. you know the one. In the sense that I'm always making these posts where I go "You know THAT one scene where they do THAT thing that makes me CRAZY"

INTERESTING COMPELLING COMPLEX SCREECHING

this has no right to be a rare pair. I mean. I get it. On the other hand if Harry/Marcone became so popular, Harry/Nic wouldn't be a stretch, you know? :P

I need a 200k slow burn NOW. No energy to write it tho lol

person a deserves better than person b. Harry does deserve someone better than Nicodemus. But when I write them Nic always treats him right

they are divorced, possibly not for the first time. I'm re-listening to Skin Game and they bicker like a divorced couple. "Who needs no introduction." Right, cause you guys know each other better than you have any reason to, kiss already

could cut the tension with a KNIFE. Seriously. We had an actual knife involved at one point. Pinning up against walls. Choking. Hair pulling. It's great.

Overall, I just love their dynamic and the potential in this ship <3

Simms/Eileen

pleasantly surprised by being canon. Come on, Luke practically confirmed this will become canon. That is so cool!

I'm a casual shipper. I like them. Wrote a fic. Don't think I wrote it for the right reasons tho, and prob wouldn't write another. But I would 100% read more fic and like them overall.

THAT one scene. you know the one. When Fetch introduces them and Simms just looooks at Eileen for a little too long. Hope we'll get more iconic scenes with them in the next book.

unironically relationship goals. I think they would be good for each other, you know?

Thanks so much for playing! xx

[petalsmooth]

I'm very conflicted about how the streaming numbers are. A part of me is upset at how they wrote the season and would like that reflected to make a point to the show vs how well received part 1 was plus I dunno..it didn't hit #1 right away and the other shows aren't trending like before so it makes me wonder if it is lower. There is no viral loved scene like the carriage this time because the last two episodes upset people.

On the other Nic and Luke worked hard and deserve better even if the writing staff doesn't and quite honestly I am getting more and ticked off at this psychotic fanbase. I kind of want to just binge watch it now out of spite, even if I was disappointed with 7 and 8 just to support all the actors being targeted. I am seriously considering that idea of watching part 2 and just making up dialogue for their baby observing their behavior and yelling at them to get it together to help me through the disappointment in the script.

[superheroshippinq-archive]

For the basic self ship asks with Barry: 😍, 🐶, 🏡, 🎤, and 💍 —Nic

ok, trevor’s new car deserves a road trip fic. i understand that rich boys who buy obnoxious cars and the boutique dealers who sell them are perfectly capable of making delivery arrangements, but i don’t want a semi truck blocking a peaceful westchester county lane to deposit a shrink-wrapped BMW in the zegras family driveway. i want trevor zegras picking up this slick machine next to a buffalo wild wings in suburban detroit, and i want a motherfucking road trip. what’ll it be?

option A: trevor/quinn. trevor stays at the hughes house while he’s in town. quinn’s home and at loose ends. trevor tries in vain to convince jack to drive back to new york with him (because trevor cannot possibly spend 11 hours on the road without an audience), and jack says no. quinn wanders through the room and says, “oh, hey, i could drive with you,” which sounds nice in theory but the problem is that trevor has been trying to squelch a low-grade crush on quinn for like three years now. so instead of having a blast opening up that V-8 all the way down I-80, he’s trying to act normal, which he is really bad at because dumb shit like, “oh, we’re almost to cleveland, isn’t that the mile high city?” keeps coming out of his mouth. i think this warrants a classic there-was-only-one-bed resolution somewhere in the middle of pennsylvania.

option B: trevor/jack? hughes house, take 2. trevor pulls up in the cul de sac and tips a wave to the neighborhood kids playing street hockey and gaping at him. jack ducks out from under the garage door while it’s still rolling up, tosses his bag in the back of the BMW, and slams the passenger door with furious emphasis. “get me the fuck out of here,” he spits through gritted teeth. jack is twenty years old and he is stuck in his childhood bedroom and quinn is acting all superior and everything is all about luke’s draft, and jack is going to actually kill somebody if he has to spend one more day there. this fic is all about jack gradually chilling out among convenience stores and gas stations and roadside attractions on their way to new york. i’m not sure if it’s endgame trevor/jack or just an extended jack hughes character study.

option C: trevor/turcs? trevor drives to illinois to stage an intervention: “you’re never going to get over nic if you spend the entire summer hanging out with him.” “i’m not spending the entire summer hanging out with him,” turcs objects. trevor waves his phone at him. “i’ve seen your fucking instagram.” “so what if i am?” turcs changes course quick. “we’re friends.” “he dumped you, you can’t be friends.” “people can be friends.” “but you can’t be friends with nic.” trevor announces it with finality. “let’s go on a road trip. like, route 66 or whatever. american dream. put your fucking clubs in the car, let’s go.” [extended slapstick montage in which it becomes apparent that the hatch of trevor’s car is not big enough for two golf bags]

oh hey wait, what if they get to vegas while the habs are playing there? “think we can see cole?” turcs asks, pulling out his phone. “don’t text him,” trevor says abruptly. “wtf?” turcs asks. “shut up, i’m texting him.” trevor tries to bat the phone out of turcs’ hand. the car, which trevor is currently driving down a desolate colorado highway at 97mph, swerves precariously. turcs holds the phone out of reach. “don’t fucking get us killed, what the hell.” trevor swerves back into his lane. “just... don’t.” “too late,” turcs says. “fuck.” the road straightens. the speedometer ticks over 100. turcs is still looking at his phone. “he can’t get us tickets but we can see him at the hotel. like, outside.” trevor considers banging his head on the steering wheel. “did you say you’re with me?” turcs gives him a weird look. “yeah? why wouldn’t i?” so then a whole story comes out. at first turcs is pissed that neither trevor or cole bothered to tell him they were hooking up at world juniors, let alone that trevor accidentally caught some feelings and cole sweetly brushed him off. then turcs realizes that if trevor’s distracted with his own drama, maybe he’ll shut the fuck about trying to help turcs get over his ex. so turcs absolutely insists that they catch up with cole, and wow, it’s super awkward, so awkward that trevor and turcs have to get spectacularly drunk afterwards. cue standard all-night vegas montage: drinks, showgirls, blackjack, slots, a screaming fight in front of the bellagio fountain as dawn starts to lighten the skies above the neon. the screaming fight somehow turns into kissing which turns into a “you were here the whole time” kind of resolution. boom.

off the rack #1295

Monday, January 6, 2020

 I hope you're having a better start to the new year than I am. I figure I'm about 90% recovered from a cold that started with a sore throat New Year's Eve. There's still a little gunk in my lungs but my nose has stopped leaking and I have energy to do stuff now. The house has been undecorated and I am looking forward to things getting back to normal. With Christmas and New Year's falling on a Wednesday my routines were discombobulated even more than usual due to the holidays. I'm not a fan of holidays.

 I Can Sell You A Body #1 - Ryan Ferrier (writer) George Kambadais (art) Ryan Ferrier (letters). I believe that this is the first time that I have seen a letterer become a writer. This 4-issue mini stars ex-TV psychic Denny Little. He can communicate with the dead. He can also put the spirit of the dearly departed into another body for clients. Unfortunately, one of those clients is a violent criminal and Denny is having a hard time finding a body for the mobster's dead father. Ryan tried to make him come across as a lovable screw-up. I was not enamoured of Denny however. Maybe it's the man bun. What he does in desperation at the end of this issue made me like him even less. I'm ghosting this one.

 Detective Comics #1018 - Peter J. Tomasi (writer) Scott Godlewski (art) David Baron (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). It's a winter time mystery as Batman investigates a Christmas tree adorned with dead bodies. His usual suspects are incarcerated and a pagan clue points to a new killer on the loose. I like this title best when Batman is solving crimes so I look forward to him figuring this one out. The scenes at Wayne Manor sans Alfred made me sad.

 Thor #1 - Donny Cates (writer) Nic Klein (art) Matthew Wilson (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). Jason Aaron's War of the Realms and King Thor brought to a close one era and this starts a new one for the God of Thunder. King Thor looks old as the story starts but Donny and Nic fix that at the end of this issue. There are a bunch of surprise guest stars here and if you're a fan on Donny Cates's other books you'll see a definite connection. Just when Thor thinks that he gets to sit on the throne of Asgard in peace he's off to save the universe yet again. This new story is going to be epic too.

 Lois Lane #7 - Greg Rucka (writer) Mike Perkins (art) Gabe Eltaeb (colours) Simon Bowland (letters). I didn't like that Lois's suspicions weren't aroused by the new maid. It made the cliffhanger ending fall flat for me.

 Web of the Black Widow #5 - Jody Houser (writer) Stephen Mooney (art) Triona Farrell (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Mission accomplished. Natasha clears her name and the imposter is taken into custody. The lesson here is to never underestimate the Black Widow.

 Punisher Soviet #3 - Garth Ennis (writer) Jacen Burrows (pencils) Guillermo Ortego (inks) Nolan Woodard (colours) Rob Steen (letters). Now we know why the Russian guy is helping Frank kill the Russian mobster guy. It's a gruesome back story and goes to establish what motivates these characters. Garth is a master at this stuff.

 Daredevil #16 - Chip Zdarsky (writer) Jorge Fornes (art) Nolan Woodard (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Wilson Fisk is one tough Kingpin. He survived being thrown out of a window and winds up in the hospital where he gets a surprise visit from Matt Murdock. Matt and Elektra know that it's the Stromwyn family that is their real enemy and they go after them financially. Meanwhile, Hammerhead is at war with the Owl for control of Hell's Kitchen. I love all the stuff going on in this book now.

 Action Comics #1018 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) John Romita Jr. (pencils) Klaus Janson (inks) Brad Anderson (colours) Dave Sharpe (letters). This should have hit the racks before Superman #18 where the secret identity is smashed to smithereens. I did like the origin story for the super villain the Red Cloud. I am very disappointed with the art however. I used to love John Romita Jr.'s art but now it looks rushed and lacking in detail. I feel the same about Frank Miller, another artist that Klaus Janson inks. I don't blame Klaus though.

 Hawkeye: Freefall #1 - Matthew Rosenberg (writer) Otto Schmidt (art) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). This reminded me of Matt Fraction's run writing Clint's adventures and although the art wasn't very appealing to me I liked the attitude and the mystery. Someone is running around in the Ronin costume committing crimes and Clint's "friends" Falcon and Winter Soldier thinks it's him. I was surprised at how many other good guys wore that costume too. I want to find out who this new guy is. Like Action Comics, I'm going to keep reading this despite not liking the art much.

 Tarot #1 - Alan Davis (writer) Paul Renaud (art) Paul Mounts (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Not to be confused with Jim Balent's Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose, this is an old school Marvel team-up story featuring the Avengers and the Defenders. It starts with Namor and the Invaders fighting a Nazi named Oberfuhrer Okkulte in WWII and continues to the seventies with the Defenders showing up at Avengers Mansion just in time to help the team deal with a rampaging Vision. The villain will be familiar to older Marvel fans. If you're feeling nostalgic for these old super teams then this is the story for you.

 Star Wars #1 - Charles Soule (writer) Jesus Saiz (art) Jesus Saiz & Arif Prianto (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Here we go with a new number one. The writing is good and the art is nice but it would be nice to get a story with some new characters. This one starts with Leia, Luke, Lando et al escaping Darth Vader's clutches on Bespin. Dyed in the wool Star Wars fans will probably love these stories filling in what they know happens next but I've read enough of these characters not to care anymore. Everything is so familiar to me that I find it kind of boring. I'd rather be in another galaxy far, far away, so hasta la vista and may the Force be with you.

 Marauders #5 - Gerry Duggan (writer) Matteo Lolli & Lucas Werneck (art) Federico Blee (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). They were introduced in another X-book but the new enemies of the mutants are named in this issue. Wilhelmina Kensington, Manuel Enduque, Chen Zhao, Kade Kilgore, and Maximillian Frankenstein may just be children but they are kids with billions of dollars and money is power. Collectively they are known as Homines Verendi. I Googled it. It's Latin for "people feared". Their first plot may be to frame mutants for the mass death of humans by poisoning the new mutant drug that's helping everyone right now. These new X-books are intensifying my FOMO.

 Miles Morales: Spider-Man #14 - Saladin Ahmed (writer) Ray-Anthony Height (art cemetery scenes) Ze Carlos (art Brooklyn Academy scenes) Belen Ortega (art Home scenes) David Curiel (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). It's one thing to want your secret identity revealed voluntarily, it's quite another to have that secret found out by an enemy. Miles has a major problem now that his private journal has been found by a hostile person. I want to see how this pans out.

 Doctor Doom #4 - Christopher Cantwell (writer) Salvador Larroca (art) Guru-eFX (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Victor is in New York City trying to find out who tried to kill him. Meanwhile there's a coup back in Latveria. I know Doc Doom will return to his homeland triumphantly but it's fun seeing how he gets there.

 Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity #2 - Kami Garcia (writer) Mike Mayhew & Mico Suayan with Jason Badower (art) Richard Starkings of Comicraft (letters). I think the criteria for using the larger magazine size for DC Black Label stories should be the art. The art in this deserves the larger size. I really like this reimagining of the Joker and Harley Quinn. The abuse that this Joker suffered as a kid would warp anybody. I highly recommend this book.

 X-Men #4 - Jonathan Hickman (writer) Leinil Francis Yu (pencils) Gerry Alanguilan & Leinil Francis Yu (inks) Sunny Gho (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). The mutants are invited to the World Economic Forum and Charles/Professor X, Erik/Magneto and En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse accept and attend. It's a good thing they brought their own security team Cyclops and Gorgon (not the Inhuman). One human delegate had two strike teams ready to kill Charles again. Most of this issue is talking heads but the conversations are intense and enlightening. If you only read one X-book this should be it.

Considering it’s POLIN mf season if we/it was/were a certain crazy miserable loser fandom they/we would’ve been mad about the fact not only is it polin season but everyone else getting promo too and Claudia J is with Luke/Nic same way Simone Kate Kanthony stans was mad that charithra existed really and was with JH/SA for like 2-3 interviews throughout whole show I’ve seen it and the fact they as is in nic and charithra only did 1 cover solo each and 1 EW with two other cast members yet Kate Simone Kanthony stans truly went insane lost it and was calling nic Luke and especially charithra nic all kinds of cruel vile nasty things and being racist and fatphobic for no fcvking reason but here we are seeing everyone like Claudia Jess Hannah get so much promo and not minding it and even when Claudia is doing way more promo then what charithra ever did with Simone or with their precious kanthony ship and fake favs! this isn’t even half of the amout of pr promo stuff and press they’ve as in those 3 non lead girls have done or for the whole Bridgerton cast on polin season but sure simone

Kanthony Kate stans was being miserable psychopaths when charithra did 2-3 interviews with Simone and she Nicola got 1 solo cover and the fact they hated on Luke who didn’t even get an ounce of what Luke T, Claudia or Johnny is getting now when it’s not their season but his yeah I’ll never forget it or forgive! Poor Nicola Luke and Charithra they deserved so much better especially charithra and nic who got extra worse because of their acting range being superior let’s be honest here guys they outdid their precious ship on their season because they didn’t have a problem with any of the other actors or cast only those 2 girls and Luke and Nicola Luke as friends all because they are actually besties in real life and fans shipped them something they can’t 😔 do for their fav ship they use as self insert to be with a pretty white boy since JB is not straight truly got what they deserve in s3 and I’m so happy for POLIN CC winning and for charithra Nic being such a IT girl had a whole subfandom crying about them and their every move all year long for the past 2 years even when it wasn’t their season yet! That’s on acting range that’s on ACTRESS!

In the end we know why Kate kanthony Simone stans was mad about charithra existence it’s because CC aka Edwina just outshined them and outsold their favs and ship with ease and why they was mad about Nicola and Luke because they were just real friends off screen and their fav wasn’t that close😂 so couldn’t ship them 😂

Episode 2 - "I made fake receipts and everything." - Jaiden

Nic

so we win immunity, the heroes are going to tribal and blah blah blah then ian quits and we have a new challenge and jaiden starts acting like.... himself he starts being self destructive and says he wants to go home and tells me he thinks i have the idol which i don’t all i have is a weird rock and idk what it’s for but anyway i’m fine with jaiden going but the thing is that as soon as jaiden goes.. i feel like i’m the next one gone 

Nicholas

i feel unsafe with jaiden here

Chips

Bryan

Welll Ian never responded to me anyway so he can goooooo. Also I feel really confident for this challenge. I can do little random tasks probably. But honestly all these people are like “o it’s the hero tribe let’s all be happy and teamwork and good ness” and junk like that. Like no. I’m on the hero tribe cuz I’m a hero to myself. This is survivor and I’m not afraid to cut throats and neither are any of them. I see no need to be fake with this pureness junk. 

Akito

Can't wait to lose this challenge like always.

Bryce

Ian going is awk because had kind of being leading on adil dfadskfhdasf but w/e hope we can win this for sure!

Akito

We aren't gonna win this challenge, because there is always gonna be that one tribe member who has the advantage with selfies that are high self-esteemed against others who cant do selfies and has to actually wait for a task that cant do with selfies or the tribe name and all that, unless you want to carry a 16 by 16 large whiteboard with erasable expo marker onto it and try to find the item. Might as well forfeit since we can't win.

Later...

Me leaving that challenge straight away makes me less threatening and I am trying to play UTR pre-merge. I wasn't that active in socializing right now, and there is no flash games so far. If I can keep up this UTR strategy while also working with a few people I can dominate this. I mean leaving the chat either has its moments. Sometimes good things can happen with people leaving, or nothing happens. Whether leaving or not gives me a clue or not at least I can say that I am not a threat at all right now. But the decision to leave was strategic and also helpful since I can't do selfies in time and I know there would be "sacrificial" points and knowing me, I would sacrifice points for advantages or clues to idols. But for me personally I think this was the right move.

Bryce

Oooh this challenge is really looking bad for us I don't think anyone tried other than akito scoring yesterday. But we still got this comeback time!

Later...

Dana and zach are enemies!! Tea drinkers (me) are shaking. I kind of wanted those points but the penalty was vague so i hesitated costing me it yikes hope we win

Jake

Immunity is going swell i love that the hosts werent total dicks and hosted during the night bless their souls but damn bryce has really slayed for heroes (also i happen to know bryce so i hope we both survive to a swap/merge!) Im really loving villians other than jaiden who's probably true to villian nature we actually are nice that said villians tend to backstav n crap as do i so its not like i fully trust these guys! I feel like if we lose that nic or jaiden would be a potential forst boot :o but who knows? Also this is my third confessional so i hafta talk canadian.... These hosers are such a pain in the moose whats that aboot?

Akito

Best Tea: Toph doesn't like our confessions that deal with other things and not game. Point, Blank, and The Period!

Bryce

Im like really  tired... But afraid we will lose if I fall asleep. No one is scoring and we're only in it b/c a villain halfed their score. Ppl seem fine going to tribal which is like... scary

Akito

If we lose this challenge. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/survivor-org/images/2/2c/Tumblr_mi7amhkwCi1qfgnjvo1_250.gif/revision/latest?cb=20140417215133 I am gonna eat this rock. Because that's how I see it now a days.

Bryan

Luke needs to leave before I mentally collapse at frustration of seeing his name. I’m still not over him getting me out from yesterday 

Later...

Fuucckkkkkk. I really want to take that advantage so bad. I know that a villain has taken the two earlier advantages. I want it to even the odds if merge comes and they have 2 and we have at least 1. But if the heros find out I took it I’m dead. 

Colin

not miss Colin being a messy ass bitch! I want the big advantage, and tbh?? i dont even care if my tribe loses?? like these bitches were making a big deal out of it and wanted to forfeit before the challenge even started, i was the one that insisted we actually compete. This was mostly because i wanted more time to idol search but they dont gotta know that! anyway yeah it's already been said people see me as a more heroic than others on the tribe so I shouldn't worry, I don't think people will immediately thing I took it if I do get it. This tribe is full of messy hoes. any one of them could betray us! Anyway yeah it's time I prove to myself and others i'm truly a villain and I got what it takes to win. If that means giving up a challenge, oh well!! Plus I think I'm close to an idol so there's that. GOD i am anxiety but this is so fun

Christian

Me: was lowkey thinking of taking the personal advantage Logan: [11/21/17, 8:06:05 PM] Logan Bee-Culpepper (Krakatoa Host): At this point, there is a tribe that cannot catch up. [11/21/17, 8:06:13 PM] Logan Bee-Culpepper (Krakatoa Host): Results coming soon! lol I hope no one from our tribe took it then. Because if someone did I'll be shocked, just by looking at the people from my tribe. Hopefully a villain did, so we automatically win. Oh and BTW Quillyn and I formed an alliance. We agreed to work together. And Kelsey came to me a few nights ago wanting to be the Oliver to my Connor (how to get away with murder reference; we both bonded over our love for the show).

Senja wins Immunity

Nicholas

i want to make this game fun but the fact that dana/zach migrated to a colony located in jaiden’s rectum makes that very hard im just annoyed because they told me they would vote him out but i know they are going to pull some quirky shit and keep him around and im just annoyed. it makes me not want to put any effort in just yet because being in a game with jaiden is like willingly shoving a whisk in ur eye and scrambling ur brain up

Nic

these people are UGLY where is my mutiny option

Akito

I would of taken that advantage and blame it on adil. Because he was the last target and if I get Jay on board with me we would be the best friends to make it to end. I feel sort of indirectly connected somehow.... Like you know? But I hope we make it through.

Nic

coming into this game, trixie/zach/dana/nicholas are obviously a group. however, ive been talking to nicholas and he feels on the bottom and isn't necessarily loyal to them which i LOVE. he wants jaiden gone and tbh.. so do i the problem is zach and dana dont want him out and wanna vote out liana and jake, thats stupid tho cause theyre not threats and theyre outsiders. plus if we pull in liana, we get chris. so im gonna work with nicholas and come up with a plan so that we get what we want because whover stole that damn advantage is gonna pay

Jake

that immunity completely destroyed me, like i can understand players are in it to win, but seriously taking an L for what could be something minor? yes its a tribe of villains i should have expected this, but urgh >.> im peeved, not because im unsafe but because someone is overplaying, i dont care what it takes im gonna hunt this ass down and target them till they leave

Adil

Am happy that we won the second immunity. I think it has given the tribe a small moral boost which could help us get into this game to win

Kelsey

Well hello! My name is Kelsey Mikaelson, hailing from the Koh Sai state and I didn't die; I have crystallized and now I'm a Glamazon ready for the runway~! I can not tell you, being back here means...the WORLD to me. The premise of this season of Heroes vs Villains and the judges got it right, I am a heroine. But this season for me is about redemption. In Koh Sai, I really felt like a contender, I felt like I could win. Leaving was really tragic for me and this time around, I'm considering this my redemption. I realllllly want to do well, like, I can not TELL you how badly I want to finish what I started in Koh Sai. SO when we lost the first immunity challenge, my LIFE flashed before my eyes. And when I went a whole day without logging on to Skype, #ThatPart, I remember just mentally kicking myself the rest of the day and if it had been me that was eliminated...first? ...I don't even want to go there. I know that if it had been up to us to choose who leaves, Adil's name is the only I've heard. However, I don't want to see Adil leave early in the competition as he lives across the world and I'm usually alive quite late so we can chat about life and things like that. As for the rest of the tribe, I'm happy to see most of them. I quite wish there were less people from my season around...I love them but I don't feel like they're looking out for me, you know? I think the people that I'm meeting for the first time are all more invested in getting to know me. You know what it is, I think the people from my season automatically assume I'm with them. Quill herself asked me who I wanted to vote out for the last tribal and said she'd talk to me later. It's been three days and...where she at? NOT with me, I can tell you that much. The good news is that most everyone has got a niche with me however, something we've bonded over. Jay and I both love Kelly Clarkson, Bryce, Chips and I love RPDR, Christian and I are Connor and Oliver...so I don't feel unsocial which some people say I am. WHAT-ever. I think this immunity is really handy and I definitely appreciate it. I just...I reeeealllly want to do well. In just ONE of these, I want to just do well! And I've never felt closer to snatching the crown than in Koh Sai. So you know what? I deserve to snatch it again! Whatever happens from here on in, I'll make sure to be here for it; I don't want to give it up! So look out for me kittens, I have the mark of a WINNAH! And THAT'S all there is to it! Francie, Jay, Ali Bee; cheers as well! -Kelsey V Mikaelson

Colin

I LOVE BEING A MESS. Like the advantage wasn't SUPER amazing but tbh???? it's worth it. Sure, we have to go to tribal, but tribal is fun and tbh? I already have three or four people wanting to work with me so I don't think I'm in any danger tonight. and if I survive tonight, I'm guaranteed at LEAST one more week. I don't think anyone suspects I took the advantage so I'm safe for now. We'll see how tonight plays out!

Trixie

hi im trixie and i want to find that dang idol. 

QuilLynn

So we won immunity wooo! my losing curse is over! Of course we only won, because the villains are villains and someone on that tribe gave us the win for an advantage lol. If I had to guess who took it I would say either zach or trixie lol. I'm just happy I don't have to worry about tribal again! Although I will say our last target, Adil, has been talking a lot more and being more active, which is great, because the reason he was being targeted was because people thought he was semi-inactive. My issue is that its kinda fishy that he's suddenly active, like maybe its just a coincidence, but I can't help but be paranoid and believe that someone warned him that he was the target and that his lack of vocalness was the reason why, and if that is the case then my name could have very well been thrown under the bus. I'm really sad to see that Ian quit the game too, I hope he's doing alright and I wish him the best. I also think I was on the right path to finding the idol, but now I'm curious. I placed a rock into a formation of other stones and something happened, but I don't know what I changed, or where the change took place. I'm thinking my best bet is to retry where I last searched and hopefully something is there. If not its back to square one. 

Jaiden

its really not a game with me if im not causing chaos. i dont really have a lot of will to live in this game so im just doing what i have to do in order to make sure i either go home for being messy as fuck, or i get someone completely innocent voted out. so im picking colin as a perfect target. :) i just feel like colin was the most likely person to take an advantage to possibly screw our game up and if he happens to have an idol, then he can idol me out and i die a happy person. i also kinda want to see how logan reacts when i blatantly target one of his friends and see how quickly i get rigged out LOL theres a group chat i have with nicholas, trixie, dana, zach, and myself and honestly i wanna stay loyal to those people even if it means they end up taking me out because i think it was dumb to cast a friend group in the first place, so why not make it look even worse and help them all win? it'll be a funny outcome. i dont have any faith in myself as a player anymore because even when i do the best i can, it still isn't enough and i end up failing. so yeah there's that. also i cant wait for this confessional to end up in some of ur friends' pms, whoever may be reading this in the google doc. i know how much some of you like to talk mad shit about me so ya !! 

Later...

so im messy and knowing that frickin,, colin gave an idol away, im going to pretend that I GOT AN IDOL but oh no not just ANY idol a SUPER idol :) [1:17:02 PM] Kai (Krakatoa Intern): You feel a hand slip into your bag… There is a noticeable lump left in its place when the hand is retracted. [1:17:14 PM] Kai (Krakatoa Intern): You dig inside and pull out a small package wrapped in parchment. You untie the thin rope and reveal see a small note. It reads, “Congratulations. Someone from the other tribe has elected to gift you the power of safety. You are now in possession of the SUPER IDOL.” [1:17:28 PM] jAIDEN: WHAT [1:17:31 PM] jAIDEN: THE FUCK [1:17:56 PM] Kai (Krakatoa Intern): However, with great power comes great responsibility. You must play this super idol at tonight’s tribal council, or else it will not contain any power. You may play it on anyone on this tribe and it will cancel all of the votes cast against them. [1:18:07 PM] Kai (Krakatoa Intern): The person who has given it to you will not be revealed, it is up to them to determine whether or not they share that information on a later date. [1:18:54 PM] jAIDEN: umm what [1:19:39 PM] Kai (Krakatoa Intern): Submit a confessional! [1:19:41 PM] Kai (Krakatoa Intern): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesZ4zMUXURc-fZrS5ne2qdot6i6w6LIYN8CvqsQr-iiu0gvQ/viewform [1:20:23 PM] jAIDEN: THIS IS TEW MUCH LMAO FIOUHDOJ i made fake receipts and everything.

Willa

Whoever took that advantage - your mom's a hoe! 

Zach

I don't know. I'm aligned with a lot of people, practically everyone except i'm really not. I'm probably going home anyway cause i'm inactive and I want to die because I hate every game I play and people are bullshit and the other game I am in stresses me out. I'm sincerely apologetic about my behaviour and actions and inactivity, i'm just dealing with  a lot of bullshit and wig. If I somehow do stay, i'll be more active, I promise.

Later...

Time to be the captain, and turn this ship around and sail it right up Jaiden's asshole and send his little minion packing. ADIOS colin aka i'm leaving tonight catch me on the flipside xx

Colin

GOD so much has happened. So, first things first, I FOUND AN IDOL BITCH YAS. But it was a senja idol. so I put in all that work for someone else's idol. Smh. Anyway I'm not close to anyone on that tribe so I decided to random.org who I gave it to, so hopefully Bryan is nice and would be willing to work with me! AND moving onto tonight's vote. It seems like Jaiden is the easy vote. Cool. It's not me. It's easy. Let's move on. I'm talking to jaiden anyway just in case something happens we have a strong social connection anyway. THEN he and Nicholas tell me he has a super idol. tbh??? if it's true thats iconic as fuck. and I'm  here for it. Jaiden is a huge target and I think I might be able to trust him if he stays. We'll see! Either way this tribal is gonna be way messier than what everyone is leading on. I have no idea whats gonna happen

Nicholas

if jaiden actually has a super idol i am literally going to hunt down all of the hosts and slap you across the face with my laptop

Bryan

Ok so a little update on stuff. I’m starting to really like Kelsey. She’s very nice and she cheered me up on a bad day a couple days ago so I’m grateful to her for that. Also I GOT AN IDOL FROM SOMEONE ON THE OTHER TRIBE!!! I wonder who it was? Maybe it was Zach? I mean he was getting those tasks pretty fast so if this was from the last challenge he might’ve gotten it. Anyways, I’m so happy to have an idol! It makes me feel so much safer. 

Willa

So first of all I was like wow how is Jaiden actually not getting voted off strategic legend bye Colin But now appatnelty even that's too easy!! So we have to vote Jake which is sad cus he's cute n nice Also I literally think everyone in this chat (Zach Dana Nicholas n Trixie) were planning on using me as the decoy vote originally but then decided to use me as a vote against the new n improved decoy Jake. Which is fine if true and if not then I'm a paranoid mess as usual. Hopefully me and my faves survive!!!

Akito

I have no hero instinct....

Nic

so a bunch of shit is happening. jaiden makes an alliance with zach/trixie/dana/nicholas he tells zach that colin and i are voting for zach which is a lie and he tells people he has a super idol. now.. if there was a super idol twist like in survivor HHH, wouldnt it have been given away on round 1? plus if he had it, why would he be going through so much trouble and scrambling? that plus all the other lies he's been spreading around just does NOT add up. ik colin and liana are voting him and i think nicholas and i might as well. i heard jaiden, dana, trixie, and zach are splitting on colin and willa or whomevver sooo Id make this longer but my keyboard is fucking up

Zach

There is so much drama and i'm not even sure what to think... I'm so sorry about lacking confessionals, and if i stay wig

Colin

hi. this is my third confessional today if thats any indication of how FUCKED this tribe is. I'm not good at this villain thing. I'm doing my best. But it sounds like tonight's vote is between me and Jaiden. Jaiden is being a fucking snake and lying to everyone and i'm OVER it. everyone knows I have the advantage now so oh well. Jaiden says he has a super idol but do we REALLY know??? Whatever this is gonna be fun tbh

Dana

WIG so i've had a dramatique day and i'm in a terrible mood, but like everyone is lying(tm) to me. I literally thought about voting out.. everyone on my tribe except Liana, Trixie, and Zach. Umm so I still don't know who i'm voting. Maybe Jake? Who knows ladies! 

Bryce

I am so happy we won immunity btw Like so glad they took the advantage and went to tribal although i did score most of the points so i  think id be safe? still not in any alliances tho so scary. plus idol searching is hard.  I hope there is drama with  their tribe because i live for messiness!!!

Jay

I honestly have no idea whats going on in this game, quillynn is pretty much my only ally so i hope this works out 

Trixie

first tribal ends in a tie? wig. jaiden causing chaos lying he has a super idol? wig. colin admitting to me he took the advantage and caused this whole mess in the first place? BALD

Chips

Alright friends, so a lot has happened. But first I have to say... Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hair_flip10.jpg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright so here's the breakdown of what I have missed telling about. First off - I was cast on the Heroes tribe because of some things heroic that I have done. Like taking the bullet for other people and giving certain people their first wins in Tumblr Survivor games. You know - instead of winning. https://media1.tenor.com/images/4db0f31d688a839a175ba7eec8441f67/tenor.gif --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joining me on my tribe are... Adil, Akito, Bryan, Bryce, Christian, Jay, Kelsey, QuilLynn, and Ian. That's a lot of people. Like... a lot for one tribe. http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11114/111144096/4096385-8940408663-tumbl.gif So, truth be told I don't know who to reach out to first so I start messaging everyone Hi and get pretty basic answers in the form of "hi" back. So you know, I'm an award-winning conversationalist. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following this, a trend has started to form that includes me not being online when anything is posted in this game. Lowkey I feel like it puts me at a disadvantage and also working the hours that I work at night does the same - so I'm excited for that to fire back and hit me in the face. https://m.popkey.co/a00e06/X1DzG.gif We had to make buffs which is something I've done on my own time but also didn't want to make time to do because I'm super lazy and that's just a trait that I'm trying to embrace. The more slothful I can be the happier I will be. As a side note and one that I feel is important to make Logan finally listened to me about how these sort of creative challenges should be used as reward challenges. It's just the rules of feminism. http://cdn.gurl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lacey-chabert-as-gretchen-wieners-in-mean-girls-crying.gif There is suggestion about certain drag queens going on our buffs because why not? You know, drag queens deserve to be on buffs because they should get more attention. QuilLynn takes over making the buffs and does a fabulous rendition of Sharon Needles and Phi Phi - in my eyes it's award winning. Two thumbs (or three if you have three hands) up! https://78.media.tumblr.com/85addcf64d03f9643a9634375c59edb4/tumblr_inline_nu8f77qVTs1qkv30z_500.gif Then of course the judges don't have an eye for talent so they give the win to the boring and ugly buffs made by the other tribe. Ooo swirls! Ooo moons! Ooo so inspired. Yawn! So they get an advantage in the upcoming dealy thing (immunity challenge). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next challenge is... SELFIE SCAVENGER HUNT!! And the crowd goes wild. Or at least I do. Honestly it's my favorite thing - I love the excuse to go out into public and freak out random strangers by posing with pictures of random fruits and vegetables, toys, their cars, etc. https://m.popkey.co/f7996f/7z9qk.gif But then of course I have to work all day Saturday and also have stuff to do all day Sunday. So.. I look at the time the thing is due (or at least at this point in time I thought I did... haha I'm dumb) and realize I have a small window to throw things together and perform, etc. I'm super pumped for this challenge because it's my favorite and then I see in the tribe chat thing that we only have less than hour left to go! I'm like... WHAT?! Did I get sucked into some weird time loop and suddenly miss out on a whole hour? Did I do something wrong? So I ask.. and it turns out I should maybe look into going to the optometrist to prescribe me some reading glasses. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/66/2e/46/662e46f6697d55a4435d9c9082983508.gif Our tribe loses the challenge and I take it pretty hard personally because I can easily become one of those self-defeatist types. I realize that it is in large part my fault because I make a habit out of filling out the list of stuffs with pictures that others can't just by being creative or crafty or whatever in my community... and I dropped the ball. Soooo of course I am aware that I will probably be getting the boot and decide to search for the idol, but I'm a #mood or however I'm going to qualify it.. perhaps #funk is better. Hm... and so I decide to not take the hosts options seriously and get myself stranded without climbing equipment ( though arguably I would try climbing and probably break my neck if this weren't in a world with preexisting and written prompts). https://s-i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/279239/slide_279239_2071948_free.gif Then I talk to some of my tribemates about the vote and apologize for being utterly and completely useless. They tell me that it's not big deal and that our tribe actually has a number of people who are existing as dead weight. This makes me feel better about myself because at least they're willing to lie to me about me having more value than others if it's not true. And so they want to target Adil? I think that's his name. Anyway, I'm cool with it because he should be first boot anyway since he chose Ryan from the current season of Survivor as his avatar and that's a huge misstep in someone that I may have or could have ended up allying with. But then, nope! No tribal council! Ian's making the most of his life and withdrew from the game because he didn't want it to take a toll on himself in a negative fashion. I am proud of his decision as this game will likely drive me insane if we have to go back to more tribals. https://media.giphy.com/media/F2WFyAfpfVfFe/giphy.gif --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Immunity two is the one that makes me go into convulsions. The one that keeps me awake at night thinking about what I could have done differently. The one that brings me to tears... it's the one where you have to complete tasks in order to earn points and the tribe with the most earned points gets freedom from tribal council. I know the trick to this challenge! I know that you just don't do anything and let the other tribe waste their time. Honestly, let them suffer. Let them be the one stupid enough to stay up super late and write thousands of words for the sole purpose of stroking the host's massive egos (genitals???). https://media.tenor.com/images/d5a01b967936e2b961e1a0130d2b4650/tenor.gif Because that last task is going to be the one that sweeps all the points off the table and ultimately screws the tribe over! And then of course that happened to those over at the villain tribe... and so they have tribal council and our tribe lives another day!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In summation, I'm still a useless lump of clay to be molded by my fellow players on the hero tribe. I have no alliances. I have no one I trust or am voting with. And I'm not even sure if I was being fed a line of bull poo in the last round about whether they were going to bump me off. I'm hoping to see nicer things (or challenges I can do better??? hahaha like that's a thing) soon! https://media.giphy.com/media/111ebonMs90YLu/200.gif

**Jaiden is voted out in a re-vote, and round 3 begins!**
