#riya does stuff

[msommers]

can't sleep. plagued with the thought of riya being capable of summoning a storm cloud to zap darkspawn for a full hour each day and how sickening that is for the 10 day long battle at val foret

[accirax]

initial thoughts on DCAS episode 13

i guess Marcus cares about everyone. Marcus characterization jumpscare.

it's so interesting to me how much Alec seems to care about his family in retrospect when we've seen illustrated time and time again that he didn't seem to care about them (or at least his son) in the moment pretty much at all. i guess it's a "you don't know what you have until it's gone" type of thing?

hey, we finally got names!

well, that happened. once again, congrats to the AleRiya shippers. i probably still prefer them as friends for now, but i'm not opposed to them becoming a ship in the future. i doubt they will, since the writers seem to really like Connor and Riya and probably want that to be endgame, but i digress. it's really important to Alec's character, i think, that he was one of the only completely new characters created for s1, and was quite possibly crafted with an All Stars season in mind. thus, as much as Alec was created for Fiore in s1 (to help her have numbers and allies and stuff), he may have also been created for Riya in DCAS. i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Alec's traits were crafted with this friendship and possibly even this plot beat in mind.

this whole scene is so sad :(

i... really don't understand Aiden's motivations here? like, what will happen if you tell the group "Alec and Riya kissed"? who would care other than Connor, who you already acknowledged would be crushed by the news? do you really think that Gabby or whoever would stop working with the villains under the knowledge that two legal adults smooched? is this about ruining Riya's reputation? the footage will certainly air on TV regardless of whether you tell anyone or not. am i just missing something? what game is Aiden playing at???

here's how aro Kristal truthers can still win.

waterBENDING? does Grett watch Avatar? :D i suppose she is in a good age demographic for it.

QUIRK??? DOES ALEC WATCH BNHA????? that's way more surprising than Grett watching Avatar. i do not know what Alec would possibly enjoy in BNHA. like, who's his favorite character? Aizawa???

this is WAY funnier than him being invisible. props.

Alec may have the looks of a mastermind strategist, but he has the heart of a simp. truly tragic. you know, if you want a family again, you could always direct that (platonic) love at a certain other competitor...

what a fucking loser (affectionate)

"have you considered that your employees might think you're cringe?"

LMAOOOOOOO this says so much about Jake. of course he's a villain shipper. but, see, to my point-- Jake literally doesn't give a fuck about this! what are you planning to gain!!!

Jake get the banana

potassium

ALEC FUCKING DIES?????? AIDEN KILLED A MAN??????????

i didn't put it together after watching the trailer, but it's really interesting to me that Yul and Grett were lightning and water respectively. i guess it's saying that if they could actually work together, they'd be a super deadly pair? or, maybe it was a coincidence.

nobody is wearing a cape, Gabby included. i thought she said she was working on her mask and cape designs :(

it's... a massive geological structure that weighs and should be able to withstand several tons of force? what?

TURN INTO A BIRD.

cathartic and appropriate that Yul becomes desperate once he feels his power is lost.

this was a real L episode for Alec. sorry buddy.

neither disappointed nor surprised. it truly was Yul's time to go.

THE TWINK TRUCE!! they're even making, like, the same face, lol.

GOTTEM

SO interesting how closely this mirror's Grett's exit in S1. Grett grew from her experience, while Yul can only manage to POSSIBLY be at the emotional maturity of s1 Grett now. and, tbh, he's not even close to that.

HOORAY!!! now make sure you apologize to her. thoroughly.

HOW?????????? i seriously don't understand this... maybe Aiden will explain himself better when this happens next episode.

yay, fun superhero challenge! love a good themed episode. i do think the fact that like... five people could have had immunity in this one was kind of weird, but, eh. as it turns out, Grett and Gabby could have won immunity as well as Aiden and Jake and it would have changed literally nothing about the outcome of this vote. it was really just about Yul (and kind of Connor, i guess).

i do wonder if Yul's elimination will essentially spell the end of the "heroes versus villains" portion of the game, and the gameplay will shift to being more individually focused. we do kinda have four groups of two at the moment-- Gabby and Grett, Alec and Riya, Aiden and Jake, and... Connor and Ally, I guess? that could make for some interesting votes.

after a somewhat longer hiatus than usual, now we're going to be doing one episode per week! how exciting! in that case, i'll see you again on (presumably) Wednesday for the power rankings, and if you don't read those, once again on Saturday for Episode 14. bye for now!

review pls

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP YUL HAD HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM AND WE GOT JAJAMES IN THE FINALE. ONC DO NOT FUCK THIS UP FOR ME.

DCAS ep 19 - review

spoilers !!!! (but you knew that.)

tom saying jake sees the best in people was so fucking funny i'm sorry like we both know He Does Not. even the line was like 'despite his anxieties he..' baby ur literally saying 'despite not seeing the best in people he really does see the best in people' you are so fucking stupid

side note tom is actually an idiot, unironically. not haha himbo idiot just an actual fucking idiot. how is he 30. how is he a fan favorite. HOW IS TOMJAKE A FAN FAVORITE SHIP nonono im not talking about this rn im NOT (claws at my enclosure)

ugh i forgot tomjake is like. a thing. and not a very bad made-up fanon ship. and they're giving them a spin-off. for a sec i allowed myself to exist in a world where ONC made good writing decisions. what a world it was

james being jake's biggest hater was amazing. almost unleashed my inner jake hater. there is still time though, trust

kinda sad to see huntess not hang out with anyone but each other. i was waiting on tess interacting with gabellie or something

on the bright side, GRETT HAVING A MOMENT WITH GABELLIE??? HELLOOOOOOOOO?????? CAN YALL HEAR ME???????????????

gabgrellie save me.... save me gabgrellie............

speaking of ellie she looked so off the entire episode. why did her eyes move like that. am i crazy. she looked so ugly

oh my fucking god they fucking burnt yul's face. that's crazy. grett the woman that you are <333 i might actually draw the prick because he looks cool now

i am also sooooooo glad they're not giving him a half-assed redemption arc. they know he sucks ass. at least we have that

krystal saying "that's the good shit" was the most embarrassing thing ever in fact her entire part before dinner was embarrassing. why did she keep. doing that and saying that. girl why are you interrupting the moment you want to get on camera are you an idiot

also she fell victim to the inconsistency bc tell me why she was bitching and moaning the entire season about 'those that really matter' and being all lpvey dovey about her friends but then derek is like 'trevor :)' and she goes 'why arent u professional' girl.

and derek. man. we all know youre lying genuinely fuck you. 'he matters to me' GIRLLL WHEEENNNNNNNNNNN HAVE YOU SHOWN THAT 😭😭😭

FIORE AND ALEC!!! ALEC SCOWLING THEN LOOKING AT FIORE AND INSTANTLY SMILING!!! HIM PROTECTING HER FROM YUL!!! HIM COVERING HER EYES WHEN YUL GOT BURNED!!! TH!!! THE!!!!!!! THE FATHER-DAUGHTER DUO EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

JAJAMES CRUMBS 🗣🗣🗣‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥 JAMES IS HELPING JAKE IN THE FINALE EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP HERE IS HOW JAJAKEDEN NATION CAN STILL WIN- [gets shot] [gets shot] [gets shot] [gets s

JAJAMES PLEASE BECOME FRIENDS PLEASEEEEEEE PLEASE 😭😭😭

sooooo glad fiore not only did not pick riya but also GAVE HER THE DISADVANTAGE. JAKE FANS HERE IS HOW WE CAN STILL WIN

why did they bring emily back just to make her a bitch.

JAJAMES PLEEEEEAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭

there are many things wrong with this ep (like derek existing, and also his lines, and also yul existing,,, and the stuff ive pointed out) but its ONC. i'll throw them a bone ig. i'm okay with what we got, it obviously wasn't a masterpiece and it felt fanservice-y in parts (yk that one post or ask or whatever that says season 1 & 2 DSVC was a show a fandom was built off, but season 3 is a show built off the fandom? yea some scenes reminded me of that. coigh cough krystal mildly breaking the fourth wall.) but i'm glad connor only got like 2 seconds of screentime, fiore and alec got along, and the jajames crumbs oh my.. <3

overall, an 8/10 and if my memory isn't failing me this is probably the best rating since ep 13?? but yea it was a good episode i'm fine with it. im surprised they didnt ruin.everything. bc yk its ONC. so yea!!! yay yippee yay!

i am so glad there are only 2 episodes left . istg if i watch the spin offs or new seasons i need yall to shoot me. and remember how i was talking some time ago about rewatching the entire show after DCAS came out fully? yea no. not doing that. when episode 21 comes out i will be cheering because i will finally put DSVC behind me. i fucking hate this show WE ARE ALMOST FREE!!!!!!!!! CHEERING

Here’s an art trade for @sammirthebear2k4

He asked me to draw Manu and Jazzy. Normally since we’re almost close to summer to ending, I thought I drew Manu without his jacket since normally it can be too hot out to be wearing a jacket. So I thought Manu can wear his usual shirt while going to different places with Jazzy. And maybe Lighting might get use to being friends with Manu. Besides, she also likes Yokai watch as well. She does play the game and watch the show. But if Jazzy, Katie and Foofie are doing triple dates or busy with something different, I’m sure Lighting will do other stuff too. Especially if she wanted to hangout with Riya, Miya and Aace.

People I tagged @bryan360 and @murumokirby360

[disventure-rewrite-takes]

I'm adding to that one anon about missing friendships in this show!

AGREE! I do enjoy some of the shipping plots, but I feel like they use so little to make it happen. it's hard to make longer plot lines with a limited cast of characters, I get it, but there's so much to be desired with friendship dynamics. especially with romances, because I know shows like this aren't supposed to be all realistic, but DC addresses real problems more (even if done poorly), so it feels weird seeing two characters have romance with little friendship lead-up and more things in common besides liking Chinese food (targeted). if I could, I would add more reward challenges or episodes with twists that don't include elimination for more time to develop friendships like dc2.

however I will say positively that dcas does seem to be allowing more friendship stuff to happen as far as I have seen? I love Gabby and Grett caring about each other, and I like that Jake and Aiden seem to finally be getting along (the banter is so good with them)!

- 🎃

we need more friendships cuz why tf did they make alec and riya kiss when they were great as just a couple of besties 😭😞

[shi-daisy]

Hi! Dropping in to say I read your TomJake fic and I loved it. It really feels like it could be canon compliant. As to how the season's going do you think you'll keep it as is or edit it? And are you still rooting for them or even Jake as a whole?

Aaaaa! Hi anon! So happy you liked my fic! It has gotten such a good reception and so much love I'm excited to write for the fandom again soon.

To answer your questions I do think I'll edit the fic a little if only to include Tatsu who wasn't named at the time I wrote it, and maybe change a bit of Tom's part as I wrote the fic thinking he was an orphan but apparently he has a mom so I'd have to tweak some stuff and include her, maybe change the song too as I found one more fitting for it.

Okay TomJake. Oh boy, to be honest I'm slowly losing hope but holding on by a thread. These two still seem to deeply care for eachtoher but they get on their own way more often than not and while I will root for them till the very end it wouldn't surprise me to see them fall apart too. But we keep the hope until the last scene!

Now as for Jake as a solo character, I am still rooting for him too. Episode 10 has the the fandom divided as to whether or not we should root for Jake or wish for him to be next boot. Personally I want him to grow and losing the only support he has left is likely the only way he's gonna learn.

Many say he will spiral and I'll be honest I could see him having a breakdown next episode. But I don't think he'll give up, my guess is that while he has no reason to get the money, he could try and win it for Ashley's sake. He's in a horrible position now as the villains are 5 against 4 heroes and the other 3 heroes gunned for him last time so I'd like to see him play solo at least one episode as he slowly reels from Ashley's boot and from the heroes who lets face it will unfairly pin this fail on him.

Yes I say unfairly because even if he was an emotional wreck that wanted to throw the vote, the other four also threw the vote and that caused the villains to win it.

Ally hates Jake because of him picking fights and being volatile and I agree with her assessment that actions speak louder than words and that Jake was wrong. However as annoying as he is you need his number to at least tie a vote. For the time being if I was her I would've faked niceness and tried to get along with him instead of fueling the fire. She didn't and took the fight personal too and voted Jake. Okay, what if he goes? It's four heroes against five villains, you're toast unless the villains fall apart and they target other stronger players. Jake is a meatshield and she should've just kept it chill like Ashley and that way he won't go off.

Same thing with Aiden. Dude knows Jake has it out for him because of the previous misunderstanding and because he's petty and volatile. Okay, don't poke the poodle then, don't fight him, don't provoke him. Come episode 9, he starts shit. Dude I get that on 8 Jake was an ass but I highly doubt you taunting him will stop him from trying to win, hell you taunting him is what got him to throw hands on episode 9. Don't poke the angry dude if you don't want him to go off, especially if he does not like you! Quiet and unnoticed got him far in season 2. If he had done so here too, maybe Jake wouldn't have been so down to fight. Same in episode 10. The shot was accidental and Jake should've just shrugged it off and kept his yapper shut, but then comes Aiden and goes 'Don't take it so personal'...My man, you just said that to the dude who already dislikes you and takes EVERYTHING personal! What did you think he was gonna do? Give you a hug? The vote too again was dumb 'It's him or us.' The only targets you have are Riya and Gabby, Tom and Ashley are stronger and if voted could've taken the villains in a tie breaker. Shut the hell up, and everyone vote a villain. They didn't and that's what got their second strongest to go off now. It's not just Jake's fault even if he bears the most fault. Everyone fucked up this episode and are now all on the chopping block.

Self indulgent wish fulfillment ahead while many say Jake will apologize next episode I don't want him to. I want him to be silent, solo, and seething. I want the others to try and pin it all on him only to be told what I just said and for Jake to tell them 'You want me out next? Fine, vote for me again, but I'm not going down without a fight! I owe her that much at least!' I want him to make it clear they all fucked up and they can't pin it all on him alone.

I want Tom to try and apologize for the vote only for Jake to not care, and even say 'I did the same to you last season. We're even.' Let my man seethe and work alone for a bit. Let him make Tom earn him back if he wants him because while I understand his reasoning for keeping away he still ghosted the man with attachment and trust issues for two whole years, avoided setting the record straight, lied to him (knowing his trauma around lying), and topped it all off with voting for him which resulted on his beastie being the one taken out. Jake has every right to pull the plug even if temporarily.

I wanna see him maybe bond with Grett if Yul is still being the worst. Boy would recognize the signs from what he went through with his own abusive ex and probably throw hands with Yul (id pay to see that). I wanna see him and Gabby talk too, Gabby explaining how she feels about Ellie being voted and wanting to support her and while Jake loathes her maybe he could provide perspective too. 'She did this to me for money in season 1, she was going down the same bad path again and you know it. If you love her, win for her and help her but getting out was necessary Gabby and you know it.' Imagine him getting those two out of the alliance, imagine him helping get Yul out or even just fool thewhole camp into thinking he's still a mess while in reality he is secretly plotting their downfall while playing the unstable wreck again. I'd be screaming to see both villains and heroes gagged if he played it right and got the villains out, if he maybe made it further than he did last time. I really want to see my boy shine and shine bright. So yes anon, I am rooting for Jake and hoping he at least gets one or two villains out if he does not win it all, and if he does then let him help support his beastie and make Miriam proud.

As for him and Tom we'll see if it can be saved. I'm hoping for the best but I'm also petty and if our himbo cop pulls one more stunt, I won't be sad should Jake choose to cut the cord for good.

Hope this answers your questions! Thanks for the fic support!

thoughts on dcas e6:

the songs

honestly wasn't expecting much (tho i didn't think they'd be bad) but those were actually really good

stylistically i think magenta was my favorite but they were all really good

tom+jake+aiden

this plot is so so funny to me. *tom voice* if i avoid my problems for long enough they definitely won't become infinitely worse

also theater kid aiden going "i need to think about it because i do have a boyfriend, but stage kisses are a thing and we don't have feelings for each other so i can be okay with it"

while tom's like "ah fuck. i really should've talked to jake by now. nothing i can do i guess!" and then afterwards is like "wait do you think he was mad at me?" comedy GOLD

like to be clear so much of the humor for me here is that aiden is Not Interested. literally the entire problem is that tom is not communicating and therefore jake has no reason to know any of that. and especially now that aiden's started picking up on drama it's like. how long can you run from this? maybe you should stop running? oh, no. no he's running faster.

magenta team

i really like ally/ashley friendship. very easily could've been an us vs. them thing even with hunter out, but it makes sense that ashley wouldn't go for that.

also i really like that ally doesn't miss hunter. i think a lot of the problems with their relationship they've been hinting at so far is that ally struggles a lot with personal identity outside of other people, and hunter didn't understand or accommodate that. regardless of whether they stay together in the end, they very much needed a break so she can figure out who she is without him again and whether she actually wants to be there (and i wish her luck).

yellow team elimination

connor vs. yul as the elimination makes sense, and the fact that it was connor also makes sense (especially since yul is now getting production help with his image)

i really really like the detail that alec betrayed connor for his own good. their alliance concerned me because i like the friendship, but with the villains alliance it seemed really dangerous. and alec going "i like this man and i want him around, but being here is bad for him" is actually a really honest and mature approach.

(i also can't be assed to check handwriting, but i did notice it wasn't confirmed riya betrayed him- one vote wasn't read and it could've been against yul- but also i don't expect that to really mean anything)

rest of yellow team stuff

grett :( baby :(

she does not deserve this treatment and i know yul's going down in the end because he is so intentionally designed to be so so terrible but in the meantime :(

riya fucking up was telegraphed so hard (not a bad thing) and i appreciate how it a) makes her the obvious boot from a single challenge perspective and b) has no actual effect on the elimination.

other thoughts

don't really like what they're doing with trevor and derek. i'm sure it'll work out fine in the end but for now i'm largely ignoring it out of mild squick.

predictions

cyan team is due for elimination, although idk that they'll get it. if they do i'm guessing ellie or tom- either because ellie villain plot finally goes down against her, or tom if the love triangle plot plays out. i could see others but tbh i think this team drama works better with them making it to the merge.

if it's magenta team it's probably fiore, which makes me think it won't be magenta team.

yellow team as always is such a dumpster fire of drama. if they lose it's probably yul vs. riya but they both could have plot armor protecting them so idk.

don't have much else rn because i need to leave but hopefully e7 is able to come out on time, and even if not that the difficulties the team is facing re: leakers aren't too devastating.

INTRODUCING FARRAH SHAH, WRITTEN (AND LOVED!) BY CORRIE.

spotted on the ferry is FARRAH SHAH, they were mistaken for AYESHA MADON. FARRAH is TWENTY-SIX years old, they identify as CIS FEMALE (SHE / HER). they are currently spending their time as CASHIER @ CREEK COMICS in maple creek and are residing in CREEKWALK. on the island, people say they are AFFABLE but DITZY. (CORRIE, 27, GMT, SHE/HER).

pinterest / spotify

trigger warnings: cheating

BASIC STATS:

full name: farrah riya shah

birthday: 10th february 1998 (26 years old)

gender: cis woman (she / her)

sexuality: pansexual

relationship status: very single!

BASIC INTRO:

farrah's family are originally from sydney, australia, her parents moved to america for work before farrah was born, and they are both doctors.

they moved around a lot and lived in many big cities, eventually, her mother got pregnant with her, they decided they wanted a slower pace in life, so they moved to maple creek.

she’s the oldest of two, she has a younger brother, they’ve always had quite a tempestuous relationship, as there is only a few years between them.

as farrah grew up, it became quite clear that she wasn't going to follow in her parent's footsteps, she was much more interested in glitter and boybands, than sciencey stuff.

she'd always been quite a loud and chaotic child, always talking, you could never shut her up. farrah's parents did notice something was up & eventually, she was taken diagnosed with adhd.

school wasn't for her and once she graduated she didn't want to carry on with it. her parents understood that & allowed her to just start working, but she was getting restless & not enjoying small-town life!!

she was working as a waitress at a local diner & she started dating one of her coworkers.

one thing led to another & the pair decided to pack up & move four hours away to new york!!

things were great for a little while, farrah loved living in the big city, they lived in a small but cute apartment & the pair were living their best lives.

buuuuuut then her boyfriend started working late and he was acting all standoffish with her & things got weird.

turns out, he'd started cheating on her, she broke up with him and moved out, she tried living in the city alone for a bit but it didn't work out.

this was almost a year a go now, she ended up moving back in with her parents & has got a job at the local comic book store.

farrah pretends it doesn't affect her & that it doesn't affect her but really it does, she just hides it quite well lol

BUT now she's starting to move on and get back out there, she still deffo doesn't fit the small-town vibe though!!

farrah has a flair for the dramatic, she’s always up for gossip and a giggle!!

she’s a very big girls girl, tbh she would’ve thrived in the 90s with the spice girls, girl power and all that jazz.

she’s that girl that’s sharing positive affirmations on her instagram profile!!!

farrah also has pretty nails done as well, with lots of different cute designs. recently, she’s been trying out her own, practising on friends as well as herself.

farrah is confident, loud, bright, friendly and supportive!! if ya need her, she’s only a text away!!

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

best-friends:

sibling type friendship:

childhood friends:

fwbs / hook ups:

exes:

crush (??)

colleagues:

frenemies:

if you'd like to plot with farrah please feel free to message me on discord @ radcorrie!! thank you!!

[asherthephoenix]

In light of the DC finale, I'd like to ask your opinion on something:

What would your thoughts have been on a "Riya ending" for each Total Drama main antagonist (wins, but ends up alone with no friends)?

Would especially like to hear your answers for Heather and Julia.

Answering this for *every* main TD villain would take forever so I’ll just go with the two you mentioned

For heather, I think an ending similar to what Riya got could have actually worked out pretty well. She could end up finding out about what happens to Alejandro with the robot suit and all thanks to her actions, and thus she has no chance with him (at least until AS). She could also have a montage similar to what Riya got where she’s scrolling Facebook (WT takes place in 2008) sees everyone who she wronged at some point during her time on TD happy (think posts of Gwuncan and Coderra on dates, Courtney posting a picture of hs graduation/an acceptance into law school, team victory members hanging out, etc.) and feels remorse for all that she’s done. Heather has shown that she has a more human side and does sometimes care about others, she just cares about the money a lot more, somewhat similar to Riya.

For Julia the big issue here is that she’s made it very clear she does not care about ANYONE from her cast, and the *one* person who’s an exception to that pretty much immediately forgave her after she got her eliminated. In an AU where Julia won reboot s2, I feel like if anything she’d be gloating about her victory to everyone else and when she’s met with immediate backlash and glares, instead of feeling upset she’d just roll her eyes and laugh it off. At most I can see her maybe stumbling upon some myselfiegram post a couple months later of Bowie, Raj and Wayne hanging out that might grasp her attention but she’d forget about a few seconds later when she remembers all of the nice stuff she’s bought with the million + the fact that MK still cares about her.

[aidensteddybear]

Do you have any regressor Grett headcanons?

Regressor! Grett Headcanons

•She regresses anywhere between 2-10.

•Claims she doesn’t need a caregiver, but she does. She can mostly take care of herself, she just really needs company and attention.

•She doesn’t have a full time caregiver, though Gabby watches her whenever she’s available to.

•Riya also helps her out, but Gabby’s the caregiver Grett feels the most comfortable with.

•She looks up to both girls a lot when she’s little, and sees them as a motherly figure, something that she desperately needs.

•She absolutely needs a lot of attention and praise, as she had a lack of it during her childhood.

•Grett is mostly very sweet, though there are moments where she can act bratty. Mainly when she’s in an older headspace is when she acts like this.

•She’ll often have tantrums or throw fits if she doesn’t get her way. She can also be very whiny and complain about everything.

•Grett absolutely loves getting her hair done or played with. She also loves doing or playing with her caregivers’ hair.

•She has a pink blanket with yellow stars that she has with her a lot. She also has a little white cat stuffed animal that she’ll carry around as well.

•Often times, she’s not a fan of having to take a nap or going to bed. She can get pretty cranky, sometimes to the point where she’ll throw a fit, over having to go to sleep.

•She loves doing a lot of ‘girly’ things. Like, playing with makeup, playing dress up, playing with dolls, stuff like that.

•During her bad days, Grett can become very needy and clingy. She mainly just needs her caregiver’s attention when she’s like this, but if that’s not given to her she will just sob.

•She doesn’t really use a lot of ‘babyish’ items. She does have like two pacifiers, that she barely uses, and a few sippy cups. Thats about it though, she mostly prefers toys for older kids.

•Grett is very shy about her regression and is extremely shy when she regresses around people for the first time.

•Absolutely loves any kind of affection, especially hugs and cuddles.

•Extremely sensitive to being yelled at. If she were to be yelled at, it would immediately make her cry and most likely cause her to regress even younger, as yelling scares her.

•Actually, Grett’s just sensitive in general when little. If someone says or does something mean, she’s going to start crying in an instant.

•She adores nicknames! Especially ones like “Sweetheart”, “Sweetie”, “Princess”, “Honey”, and “Baby”.

(I’m actually so happy that I’m not the only one who sees Grett as an age regressor. I feel like her childhood and trauma is so overlooked and not really talked about that much. She definitely deserves better.)

initial thoughts on DCAS episode 7

very notable that this was within the context of being about "love" specifically. (at least) one-sided trevek canon? (i'm not even a huge trevek shipper i just think this whole plotline is funny)

okay, so Yul's foot injury IS real. or at least, he's using it as an excuse to complain. still, the fact that it was brought up again an episode later makes me think that it's going to have SOME relevance to the plot.

any time that Yul has to parrot something in Emily's "you go girlfriend ;D" manner of speaking i cackle. he didn't choose the home decor saying any time is wine time lifestyle, the home decor saying any time is wine time lifestyle chose him.

Grett i am... genuinely confused. how can you possibly think that Yul is actually in love with you? did you really receive THAT little love in your home life? you have no ability to distinguish catty and fake praise for your accomplishments from real ones because your family gave you THAT little recognition? man. now i made myself sad :( ily Grett

okay, confirming that 1) it was Tom's trap, 2) they are willing to eat squirrels, 3) Tom is serving as the provider for the Cyan tribe. all things to take into account for any upcoming Cyan eliminations.

why

and how does said boyfriend feel about you kissing another man on television, Tom? this is a stupid lie.

again, why? it's probably already apparent from my earlier comments, but i changed my mind; i'm fully with Jake in this argument now. sure, Jake is really insecure and overly emotional, but what the HELL is Tom doing? making up a boyfriend is a really shitty thing to do, whether Tom had a legit reason for not calling Jake these past two years or if he didn't contact Jake due to his own mixed feelings/indifference. in either case, he should have told Jake the truth. at least when Jake was acting immature in S1, he was 24. Tom is a nearly 30 year old man. ACT LIKE IT.

Fiore slay

this is a really interesting response due to how vague it is, including in the vocal performance. was he taken off guard by his boss being nice to him? does he believe that she's telling the truth? does he feel bad for Trevor, or will he come to believe that he IS way better than Trevor? i'm glad that they're continuing on with the concept of the hosts having a plotline, because imo that was one of the highlights of S2, but they aren't doing it in a way that eats up as much of the screentime as it did in S2.

if Will was out of the picture i would be shipping these two so hard. who am I kidding, i kind of still am anyways.

Ally's other gf is here :,) glad that they got to reconnect (and neither of them were eliminated for it)

Fiore slay

the confirmation that Aiden thinks that the idea of him having any attraction to Tom is laughable and disgusting is HILARIOUS to me. bro really said, "why the hell would i be into YOU when i have JAMES lmao" straight to Tom's face. tbf, James and Tom are like... opposites in terms of personality and appearance (beyond being generally handsome and athletic young men).

"silly me, i keep forgetting that not everyone met their super cool and attractive boyfriend on reality TV. my bad!" (/pos)

(i tried to type "hubby" instead of boyfriend but i spared you all. it was too cringe even as the one subjecting others to the cringe.)

okay this was very fitting for her. iconic.

honestly, Alec and Riya's villainous alliance/friendship is really fun. leave it to Alec to always find himself in the least likely but most entertaining duos. Riya really benefits from being paired with a legitimate strategist, and someone who won't just let her totally get away with stuff.

we had to get in one last Fiore taking unnecessary damage for the road :,(

feeling like Jaiden is going to be winning the starting couples' survival roulette. and Wishley, to the extent they count.

now i'm no physicist, but how did this work? shouldn't the ball be a fast and heavy enough object at this point that it would jump over the log, not ricochet off of it? i suppose if the ball is made of something more like wicker than yarn, it could be a bit more likely to do that. but then why is it going to the side? it hit the log straight on!

... are you not allowed to help him anymore? what?

ellie is going full villain mode fr. if her and gabby's relationship gets messed up, that would definitely be karma. but, i suppose she survives this episode...

this is funny because nobody strikes me as the pizza and soda loving type. Alec, Grett, Yul, and Riya all seem like people who would want to eat something that's both fancier and healthier.

communication W (for both of them)

Fiore is such a best girl that she's not even a salty juror. she's not mad at them for so long that she can't use her final moments to throw a wrench in the works for everyone else. the grind never sleeps, clowns <3

and she even conquered her greatest nemesis, the bus, this time. fly high, queen. i'll miss you.

well, as a Fiore stan, this episode was a bit sad for me. but, i do totally understand why Magenta would both vote for Fiore and lose the challenge. (damn you, Ellie...) Fiore already did super well in both S1 and the original Adventure Camp, so i understand why they wouldn't have her go super far again in this season, especially when everyone knows she's such a threat.

i just hope that we can still get a little more closure for her and Alec than we got already in this season. all it has to be is, like, him being sad at her elimination for reasons other than pure strategy and maybe a nice conversation at the finale. it doesn't have to be Alec finally adopting her... even if i did want that to happen... i'd just prefer to know that they leave things on good terms.

anyways, another really solid episode! i look forward to the next one. thanks for reading!

Disventure Camp All Stars Power Ranking (Round 17 - Venus)

Recap: Grett's Elimination (1/5 pts)

(Total: 20/34 points acquired)

Sighhhh.

I want to disclaim this by saying that I don't think getting rid of Grett here was bad or unreasonable by the writers. I personally expected they'd spend more time setting up her downfall, but eh, I can't always be right.

I'm just salty because I've previously mentioned to @accirax that I try to do these power rankings solely on meta reads rather than on how I think the votes will play out, because I find the meta to be a better source of guidance. I then put Grett first because of how I thought the votes would play out. L for me.

So, no more vote reading! There's only like 4 of those anyways! Enjoy my purely meta-reading power ranking!

(Damn, I guess this is the last vote out. Wild.)

1: Jake

All meta, baby! Jake is winning this season!

Okay, but real talk, Jake is now the ONLY season 1 player left. I really don't think they're going to let the final 3 be entirely season 2, which means Jake SHOULD be a lock for the finale, making him safe from this vote.

I also just can't shake Jake's insane winner energy. Everything he does makes him make sense as the eventual winner. Even his earlier fuck-ups, like voting out James on paranoia, are just part of the arc. I really can't see Jake going out here.

The ONLY thing I think could put him in danger is if the writers want him to be in the losers' motel episode. Notably, whoever is eliminated this episode will be the last one making it there. I could see the appeal of Tom and Jake talking it out there, but... eh. Feels more like a "save it for the finale" type of thing to me. After all, the season 1 finale is where they made up and promised to move forwards last time. It'd be a nice parallel to do it again.

2: Ally

Ally just makes way too much sense to me as a finalist to go out here. I could see wanting to put Ally in the losers' motel to talk it out with Tess and Hunter, but honestly, I hope they don't. That is, I hope we get a chance for Tess and Hunter to talk without Ally. We've heard a whole lot from Ally on her perspective on the problems in her and Hunter's relationship, but I'd like to know more about Hunter's perspective and where he stands. I think getting some time with him apart from Ally could be a good way to show us both sides of the situation before they resolve anything in the finale.

Plus, Jake vs. Ally for the final 2 seems really likely. They've been beefing, like, all season, and it hasn't really come to a head yet. It didn't play out last episode as a reason that either of them got eliminated; they were both able to see Grett as a threat and take her out. That means that, though they both hate each other, they're focused on winning. What better way to resolve their feud than by making them fight it out for the victory at the very end?

Finally, I don't really think the writers want the finale to be 2/3 Connor and Riya. The Connor/Riya drama (+ Alec) has been a pretty central part of the season, but there's been a lot of other stuff going on as well. I guess the same case could be made of Ally and Jake, but that's because the Jake plotline was a lot more all-encompassing. We've already cut Miriam, Fiore, Ellie, Ashley, Tom AND Aiden as characters that Jake has been connected to, including some who at one point had an antagonistic relationship with him. The Connor/Riya/Alec plotline was really just Connor, Riya and Alec. So, it's fine if 2/3 people have been involved in Jake feuds, because it represents a larger portion of the cast, if that makes sense.

Plus, like I've said before, I feel like some people kinda NEED to be on Ally's bench. It just makes sense that way.

3: Connor

Connor is in a weird place, because he really SHOULDN'T win now that his leg is injured. In-universe, at least.

Like, we see him literally like hopping on one leg in the trailer. He CAN'T win challenges. It's a move by the writers where I really hope he won't be the winner overall, just because it'd feel very... contrived, I guess? Like, at that point, why sprain his ankle in the first place?

I do think Connor has good odds at final 3, though. The main thing going for him is that he's literally sworn several times he'll beat Riya, and, uh, if he's gonna do that, he has to make final 3 minimum at this point. Riya's still here.

My personal theory is that Connor might have to fight Riya in a tiebreaker 1v1 and manage to beat her. That'd give a clean reason for why Riya could be the boot, and it'd let Connor be the one to personally best her. It'd also give Connor a direct win, so that if he loses in the finale (likely at the final 3 point), it doesn't feel like he came up super short of his goals.

However, the thing I said about needing to get rid of Connor OR Riya still holds true for him, and I do think there's some merit to Connor talking to Alec in the losers' motel. However, it may not be as much merit as

4: Riya

I think Riya NEEDS a chance to talk to someone with the cameras off. The losers' motel is the perfect way to do that.

Plus, I think it'd be interesting to see Riya and Alec interact again, especially after last episode. I certainly think Alec would have some opinions on Riya tossing Connor aside after possibly permanently paralyzing him, considering Alec was already talking about how much Connor loves her. I think it'd be interesting for Alec, getting to see a dysfunctional relationship from the outside, and interesting for Riya, seeing someone who once wasn't too bothered by her villainy tell her that she took it too far.

Riya has also been girlbossing too close to the sun for WAY too long. I think the writers know that they need to call it a wrap on Riya sometime soon. Notably, I know that Accirax predicted Ellie to go out for 2 episodes prior to where she actually went out. The same thing happened to her with Yul. The same thing happened to me with Aiden. We've both predicted Riya to go out for two episodes already; it might be that the third time's the charm. I'm not entirely sure why we always read the writing on the wall two episodes early, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time.

Finally, it's been said a million times, but Riya's already been a finalist. When there are 6/18 previous finalists in the cast, I guess it's reasonable to think one of the three finalists could be a previous finalist, but from a writing standpoint, I feel like they'd want to diversify. Besides, it's SO obvious that Riya can't win the season at this point. Like, narratively, there's no way. Even if I'm 100% locked in for Jake winner pick, I think it's plausible that Ally or Connor COULD win. Certainly more plausible than Riya, at least.

I'm personally really glad that Riya has had such a chance to shine in All Stars. I think her showing here was MUCH stronger than in Season 2, even if you only count her performance from final 6 onwards. However, I do think it's time to wrap up her in-game antics and let her process everything from the privacy of the losers' motel.

[canonically47]

episode starts in like two minutes so might as well put in my review request now!

OH MY FUCKING GOD GUYS... HOLY FUCKING SHIT /POS

disventure camp all stars epiaode 13: "dis-vengers" - review

spoilers!!!! (but you knew that.)

they killed my aroace alec headcanon... they took it, stomped on it and burned it to the ground... yet another dsvc man who has fallen victim to the whiny lovestruck baby trope god i am so fucking sorry alec

the saddest thing is i could see them together if riya liked him back. like when they kissed and i saw riya give in i was actually excited and then she pulled away two seconds later and i was like oh.. we're doing this then.

krysderek and trevor yada yada does anybody care?? did anybody give two shits???? no? okay good NEXT!

poor alec, this episode treated him like shit. i'm starting to believe he may not make finale. this episode gave him such a visceral downgrade

connor not knowing what VR is he's so unserious 😭😭😭

ally and connor were boring this episode (as always imo) but i'm glad to see them have more moments together!!

JAKE AND AIDEN. god i'd be lying if i said this episode didn't make me adore them individually and as a pair. can we forget tomjake and instead shove jake between james and aiden and make them poly. i really need a poly couple in this show i'm starved for them

even from a non-shipping point of view, these two have come so far and i'm so peoud of them. just... argh they make me so happy now wtf i've done such a 180 on them and i'm not even complaining?!!?!!???

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU YULLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

top ten moments that made me cheer and yell loudly this episode!!!!!!

grett and gabby... grett has with gabby what the fandom wishes she had with riya. they're so,,, yeah let's shove grett between gabellie as well. maybe we should also add tess. and ally somehow. and hunter can be there as some sort of treat??? i gotta make a chart for this

FUCK!!!!!! YOU!!!!!!!!!!! YULLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here's a small collection of everyone hating on him

fuuuuuck you have no idea how happy and relieved i am after this episode. now that the love triangle has been cast aside, i feel like the show is finally returning to its peak. i'm gonna elaborate more on that on another ask i got from this same anon but just know i'm starting to be much more excited and look forward to episodes now. i hope they don't immensely fuck it up

9/10 because .. the kiss. but otherwise it was an amazing episode

Three in One Post

For my Filipino Friend's On This Day Posts

First one

Looks nice when using an ID to look similar to Persona 3. And since i have played Persona 3 Portable as well as for Persona 3 Reloaded, it would be cool for Murukir to bring Paul, Scottie and Bonn along since the three awaken their Pokemon with their Evokers. Charizard, Cinderace, and Machamp, and even Murukir's Pokemon, Jigglypuff. And for the four of them, they can go save the town from the Dark Hour and avoid having people suffer from Apathy Syndrome. Same goes when the Cartoon Network characters that wanted to do the same thing. For Paul, Scottie, Bonn and Murukir, then can call each other the Pokemon S.E.E.S. and we'll see if Pablo would like to help the four out as well.

Second one

Well since we did celebrate All Saints and Souls day, yesterday, my mom and i went to church after i had lunch, we went into a Cathedral and the weird part about the mass, there was no music. They didn't bring anyone to play the Organ or the piano. I mean the cathedral only has just a church Organ, then afterwards, when my mom and i went to a gift shop, then i spotted some stuff like DVDs and Statues. For the DVDs, i know they showed a DVD, but the DVDs were the Saints and Heroes Collections, all i found was Ben-Hur and the Race to Glory and St. Francis Xavier and the Samurai's Lost Treasure. But normally i do see a lot of Religion DVDs a lot every time i would go to a Religion store with my mom. And with the Statues, I spotted a Mary Statue of her being Pregnant, it was kinda confusing if i thought that was part of the story of the Nativity Scene, i know they did that in the Simpsons when they talked about the origin of Christmas. But if we did that with OCs in a Nativity story of Christmas, i'm sure we might find out. And it looks nice with Spot, Riya and Murukir in line color style since it does remind me of how Kirby's Epic Yarn was like, and i haven't played that game in forever. Ever since my sister and i got that game during Christmas time and after when my sister and i went to see a movie and when we saw Nintendo stuff going on at the mall during Christmas 2010.

And Response to my Filipino Friend

Thanks, i thought Penny would look great as a Witch compared to some of her last costumes she wore a few years back. And i'm sure she and Lighting would both do fun stuff together that time and i'm sure they'll both do something together for this month. And i'm also glad you got to try out that Google Doodle game as well. Because Lisa has been talking about the Google Doodle characters a lot every time she thought of a drawing she did like the Bubble tea one.

[stacythefreak]

I love Disventure Camp and how it creates unpredictable plot twists! I have NO idea who will be eliminated in next episodes. I just want all this drama.

I hope my theory about 3 finalists is not just a stupid random thing.

So... let me introduce them...

Grett - Jake - Connor

The modest antagonist VS The hero VS The cool guy

I also think about Alec as a finalist, but I suppose that he will be the 4th. Again. The curse of number 4, huh? Or maybe my perky intuition? Who knows.

GRETT

After episodes 13 and 14 I do want Grett to win! This girl deserves EVERYTHING. 🤩

Her parents don't notice her success preferring her brother to her. Grett also mentioned in S1 that the winning is the only thing that will make her parents proud of her. I suggest she may have overcome this in between seasons, but... let be honest, the childhood traumas are forever with people unless they will be overcome.

Grett had very toxic relationships (= total mess) with Yul (and we still hate him for this so much). No one deserves this type of partner. The breaking-up and the relief surely inspire her to be more competent and sassy like she was in S1 (and episode 15 trailer proves it). I also suggest she had some bad love experience in past too, she lacks of experience in romantic things.

Grett's makeover in-between season is ICONIC. I was so surprised when I saw her personal poster. I understand her so much (I did the same at 17-19): loss of weight is not so simple as it seems to be. She will be okay, more than okay, she is gorgeous.

Grett is the least obsessed antagonist of the final 8. She prefers to become friends with Gabby, save her own psycho and soul after all this mess with Yul, pass all the time actively as much as possible. She just does her job - being a rather strong and competitive.

JAKE

Me watching the first 10 episodes: What the hell are you doing?! Me watching the next episodes: YES, GO, JAKE, GO!

Yes, Jake has the most chaotic character development in the series. Sometimes he acts like a mess, a walking cringe or a biggest red flag. But I do like how he is changing. He struggles with himself and, thanks god, he is not an evil person. He is just very confused and traumatized person.

Jake already lost in S1 because of his behaviour. Now, when he begins to use his brain and to communicate with really cool and caring people (who give him very useful advice and inspire him so much), he has more chances to become the finalist. Miriam (this woman is so pure, I love her so much), Ashley (the oldest caring sister energy, she is brilliant), Aiden (he is more than iconic, that's all I want to say) - their influence on him is evident. I also suggest he could spread his money with friends and lover.

The last conversation between Jake and Tom definitely motivates him to win. No matter if he wins or not, he gets the desirable. I don't know how it will happen, I'm just sure! Minus one love drama, plus one finally happy couple.

It will be very curious to see how Jake overcome the obstacles himself. He is more team player, not loner wolf. But in the final and the episodes before it he should be ready to show all his talents and bravery. With his positive character development I can say he will do it.

CONNOR

From the ordinary character in S2 to one of the best one! No more words. He is flourishing in All-Stars! And I root for him!

Being one of the most sane person of the bunch of problem young adults - this is the true image of Connor. He doesn't understands the modern people and the modern culture, but he tries to. He is very supportive and kind to everyone (his speech to heroes alliance was very helpful and inspiring; he doesn't want to revenge or do something bad with Riya or Alec after all that crazy stuff, etc.). After revealing his secret to Jake in episode 14, it doesn't make him bad. Everyone has their own secrets and everyone makes mistakes. And Connor can take an effort in further episodes.

Earlier Connor inspires his friends. And now he will be inspired by them. It's more than real.

Quick reminder. This guy was eliminated and returned back after overcoming all the obstacles of the challenge. Does Connor give up easily? Of course, no. He is as disciplined and motivated as relaxed and chill. And in case of winning he will be the first person who takes the prize as being eliminated earlier. Just like Surfers in Ridonculous Race.

Connor is the least obsessed of winning money. And it may help him to win. In case of winning he seems to share some money with his friends (or everyone!). I don't think that money is important for him. And it's really cool. What a gorgeous man.

So... that's all, folks! :)
