Ben Chilwell Imagine | three
Authorās note: Welcome to another imagine inspired by something random I saw š
In this case, it all started after reading this post that someone I follow rebloged, and also after watching a cute video on Instagram of a girl talking to the guy sitting opposite her on a train. That kind of is the summary š
Masterlist
"Excuse me."
"Uh?" I say, looking up from my phone and meeting those blue kind of grey eyes.
"Hi, sorry for bothering you. Would you mind keeping an eye on my things while I go to the bathroom?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Thank you" he smiles.
"Everything ok?" he asks when he comes back.
"Yep. Though if you are a Chelsea supporter, they just conceded."
"What?"
"Sorry."
"I leave for a couple of minutes and..." he sighs. "Do you like football?"
"Sometimes."
"Sometimes?" he chuckles.
"When my team wins. Like right now, for example."
"Wait, do you support..." he says, looking down at his phone.
"Yeah... Sorry" I shrug.
"It's ok" he laughs. "Do you want to watch the game? We can share my earbuds."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, come here" he says, moving to the seat next to him and leaving his for me. "I'm Ben, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Ben" I reply, sitting next to him and taking one of the earbuds, our heads leaning closer so we don't pull them out.Ā
Being this close, I can see that he has some freckles, and he also smells so good... Yeah, I'm in love.
ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½āāāāāāāāāāāā Ā Ā Ā Ā
"A draw probably was the best result" Ben says once the game is over.
"Was it? Because that penalty..."
"It wasn't a penalty."
"It was."
"It wasn't" he says, trying to look serious but not being able to hide a smile. "And looks like we've almost made it London."
"Yeah..." I sigh. I wish I could stay in this train forever, sitting next to him, looking at his perfect face, maybe running a hand through his curls while he rests his head on my lap while taking a nap and...
"Are you ok?"
"Uh?"
"You just kind of... Disconnected" Ben laughs.Ā
"Did I?"
"You did. Which means that you didn't hear my question."
"I'm sorry" I say, feeling my cheeks get warm. Gotta love it when a cute guy catches you daydreaming about him. "What was your question?"
"I asked if you are from Brighton or were just visiting."
"Oh, I was visiting. One of my cousins was getting married."
"What a coincidence! I also attended a wedding this weekend. One of my best mates from school was marrying this girl he met on a train back from uni. Kind of like us right now."
"Wait..." I say, trying to ignore his smile when he said "kind of like us right now." "That girl... Is she called Diana?"
"Yeah. Diana and Matt."
"Oh my God!"
"Please tell me Diana isn't your cousin."
"She is!" I laugh.
"We were at the same wedding?"
"Yes!"
"And we didn't meet? How?"
"I don't know" I shrug. I'm sure I would have noticed a guy like him.Ā
"Looks like destiny still wanted us to meet, tho" Ben says with a cheeky smile.
"Looks like it" I say, my face now burning. Ā Ā
"Before the train stops... May I get your number? We could maybe meet one day, grab a coffee, maybe go to a game together?"
"That would be lovely" I reply, the butterflies on my stomach having a party. No, not a party. A rave.Ā
"I think you friend is desperate from an update on the cute guy from the train" Ben chuckles while typing his number on my phone.
"What?"
"A text just came in asking about him. It was written in capital letters."
"Oh, shit. Sorry."
"It's ok. I also think you are very cute" he smirks.
"I..." I feel like my face is about to burst into flames. "Thank you."
"You are very welcome. And you should text your friend, I fear for their life" he laughs.
"I will, I promise. But before we leave the train, can I ask you a favour?"
"Ok..." he smirks, that smile making me fall a bit more in love with him.

Week 1: Post Game Thoughts
Need to rant rq lol
ā¦ Dicker is the only person I have complete trust in lol at least we can count on him to get us on the board when needed
ā¦ Mack and Bosa are elite (which we knew)!!! They saved our assess way too many times. The defense as a whole played well this game. Need our offense to step up and match that, tho. Everyone say thank you D!!
ā¦ Like I said at the start, it is Game 1 after all, and while the O-line does have a lot to figure out, we have to also acknowledge that the Raiders have an elite D-Line (the addition of Christian Wilkins - traded from MIA - alongside Max Crosby is a deadly combination, the Raiders will probably finish with a top 5 Defense in the league this season) and this being a week 1 match-up was difficult to prepare for and adjust to for the basically new O-Line
ā¦ QJ missed a huge catch for a conversion in the 1st that he cannot continue to do if heās going to be WR1 this year. Not sure what his deal is but we need him to be better
ā¦ Palmer, as one of the only veteran receivers on this team, unfortunately, (Iām still bitter about Parham) missing a totally catchable ball in the end zone was unacceptable. Herbert put that on the money and he needed to catch that. That was a tough incompletion.
ā¦ As for Justin, he was rushing a few of his throws, especially on third down that couldāve given us a much-needed conversion (I get that he didnāt have time bc the Raiders defense is very much elite and he canāt fully trust his OLine) he very much could have PTSD from last year, as well. I, too, hate that he always has to be Superman but if no one else is going to step up, heās gotta figure out how to make something shake.
ā¦ On that same note, I ALSO do believe Justin couldnāt let it rip this game bc he doesnāt have that connection with a receiver yet. There isnāt anyone he considers his āgo-toā target and, because of that, he was trying to throw to everyone in hopes that someone would make something happen. That is, unfortunately, a part of the game with a new receiving core and thatāll just have to work itself out as the season goes on. Justin (and, thus, the offense) is at his best when he can throw freely and deep but trust with receivers is needed to do that, which he doesnāt have just yet bc no one is consistent.
ā¦ JK Dobbins!!!!!!!!!!! 10 carries, 135 yds and a TD. Beautiful. Came up big on several occasions, had a great run in the 3rd (although we couldnāt finish the drive and get it in the end zone, smh) and then the TD in the 4th - definitely a spark we needed, so give him his credit for how well he played today, especially finding his spark after a hard 1st half.
ā¦ Speaking of running, not sure where our run game was throughout the rest of the game, like, I fear itās on the back of a milk carton; MIA. Greg, we need answers on that one, buddy.
ā¦ I would like to give Hayden Hurst his credit bc I feel like he isn't talked about enough, heās been on a few teams around the league (including the Bengals) and is very fucking reliable. Wish he got more targets this game but itās great to know heās always an option. A good one, at that
ā¦Overall rating for our play 6/10 (bonus points for the defense and how we ended the game) we really picked it up at the end which was great to see but we cannot start that slow. Especially against better offensive opponents. We have to be consistent and put the game away as soon as we can. We canāt do these last quarter surges where weāre dependent on one more possession or a field goal to close a game. Penalties were fucking insane, too, I donāt even want to speak on those. Letās hope they clean that up going forward too.
Looking forward, (hopefully) the Panthers shouldnāt be as much of a test, Steelers could present trouble, but the Chiefs will by far be the hardest game yet, sucks we play them so early in the year. Hopefully, weāve tweaked some things by then.
Overall game mood: not very pretty but twas a win

in honor of our favorite 33 to 100000+ year old unemployed terroristās birthday (korean time), i present to you: puzzleshipping time loop au where yami yuugi gets worse instead of better from s0.
ok so we all know that the Gang(TM) got through some shit throughout the story, where they are pretty close to dying. a lot.
how consider, instead of making it through barely, they dont. (gets shot multiple times-)
ok but more specifically yuugi dies from the strain of shadow games and stress or a mishap in those games. and yami PANICS HE PANICS SO HARD PRAYING TO EVERY GOD THAT YUUGI DIDNT DIE AND THEN THE MAGIC OF THE PUZZLE ACTIVATES AND YAMI IS BACK IN TIME AND SAVES YUUGI and everyone gets out safe and sounds and sane :)
Except It Keeps Happening. Yuugi Keeps Dying. Yami Keeps Turning Back Time.
he can get it right if he just had another chance. he wont let yuugi die again. that wont happen and they would make it to the end of their journey this time-
Yuugi Dies To A Bully. (one more chance. please. i can make this right-)
Yuugi Dies To Silfer. (no please i not like this hes my partner i cant go on without him-)
Yuugi Dies To Marik. (NO NO THIS CANNOT STAND I WONT LET IT REMAIN THIS WAY-)
yami gets more desperate, protective, and unhinged as the cast makes it through their journey. he gets jumpy, withdrawn, and snaps at anything that might seem like a threat. his already tense relationship with kaiba because more testy as he loses trust in those around him other than yuugiās close friends. hes also more violent and harsh, not really giving up penalty games like he does in the transition to duel monsters.
yuugi is scared of yami. he never quite got over it even with his friendsā acceptance of yami. but he also knows yami is scared and he cant pinpoint why exactly other than its related to protecting him. but hes also scared to ask because what if yami snaps at him. he doesnt want yami to hurt anymore but also doesnt want him to hurt anyone else.
eventually, the continuous use of extremely taxing magic starts eroding away at both of their souls. cracks form in yamiās soul room first. stair start crumbling and doors are barely holding on. yami slowly starts losing himself and he knows it, but he also cant let yuugi die. the cracks reach yuugiās soul room after a while. a few of the toys start showing wear, board games losing pieces, cracks in the walls. thats when yami comes clean.
its a terrifying and heartwrenching experience for both the yuugis and the rest of their friends. Yuugi has been dying. These games are dangerous and they havenāt been making it through them like they thought. the only reason why yami kept going and pursuing his memories? because yuugi keeps encouraging him to find himself and he thinks he can protect yuugi better next time. and because he thinks that once hes gone, yuugi will be safe again.
they figure it out though. they make sure yuugi stays safe. why do they keep going? because yami deserves to know who he is, and yuugi is willing to risk his life to get there. as he already had, but this time it will actually be different.
and yami learns an important lesson on friendship, learning when to ask for help, and communication. and then we have the rest ofĀ normal canon just with yamiās major ptsd and a slower to warm yami who is still willing to burn someone to the ground in like season 4.
how does this relate to orv? idk man i just think time loop and go āomg yjh vibes fr frā i think it would be an interesting parallel between yami and yjh, they just match in my brain for some reason. doesnt quite follow yjhās character arc tho LOL
anyway i like angsty time loop aus as much as i like silly time loop aus. they just have so much potential. here i just wanted yami to suffer :)
anyway back to silly au ideas
#yugioh#yami yuugi#yugioh au#puzzleshipping#ok yall need to understand that orv was like pivotal to my life literally changed my brain chemistry#yugioh might be my childhood but i think about orv so much#idek how a yugioh orv crossover would happen because i feel like orv fusions or crossovers just dont end well often#so we have this instead#also read omniscient reader#its really really good#yes i have Issues as my friends like to say#i feel like i could have expressed the emotions i imagine yami and yuugi feeling better but i also lack the writing skills for that#pls read past my shitty writing and feel the inherent horror and tragedy that i was trying to go for#i like time loops :)#and the feeling that nothing changes even if you go back in time to change it again and again and again and again-#link click vibes fr fr but that isnt related to this

DIABOLIK LOVERS MORE, MORE BLOOD Vol. 5: Mukami Yuma [Track 2]
Original title: ć¦ć¼ćć®ććę室
Source: Diabolik Lovers More, More Blood Vol. 5 Mukami Yuma [CD not owned by me]
Audio: Here
Seiyuu: Tatsuhisa Suzuki
Translatorās note: Translating this CD alongside Yumaās MB route is giving me a culture shock because it is almost like two entirely different guys. It really shows just how much the franchise has changed compared to its earlier days. (Thatās saying a lot considered the MMB CDs arenāt even particularlyĀ āfluffyā) I know some people prefer the darker/more intense versions of the boys but I think I personally would rather have this Yuma. The more aggressive one would probably kill me just by poking me with his little finger. xD
Track 1 ll Track 2 ll Track 3 ll Track 4 ll Track 5 + Epilogue
ā Ā LIKE MY TRANSLATIONS? SUPPORT ME ON KO-FI!
Track 2: The Classroom where Yuma is
*Scribble scribble*
āArgh...Aah...? Ugh.ā
*Flip*
You walk up to Yuma, asking what heās doing.
ā...Aah? Oh, itās you. What, ya ask? Iām doinā yesterdayās homework. When I told the teacher I didnāt do it, he wouldnāt let me go home until I finish this shit. I could just ignore it and leave anyway, but then Rukiās gonna give me an earful.ā
*Scribble scribble*
āIām copyinā his right now.ā
You tell him he shouldnāt do that.
āItās fine! If I try and do it myself, itās gonna take a fuckinā eternity.ā
You ask if he will go home later then.
āNah. Iām almost done. So wait there,Ā ākay? Iāve been asked to run an errand too, so letās walk home together.ā
You nod.
āAh, speakinā of which! Kou doodled yer face and it turned out so funny and ugly, Iāll show it to ya as well!ā
*Flip flip*
*Thud*
āUhm...Where did it put it again...? Itās gone...!? Where did it go!? I could have sworn I put it in here...ā
You tell off Yuma for making a mess.
āAah...? Thereās stuffĀ āround my desk? Oh shut up. Itās not that bad itās worth cleaninā up. Besides, when I run out of space, I just use the desk of the dude sittinā next to me so who cares.ā
You look at the desk next to his, frowning.Ā
āYeah.Ā āBout half of the stuff on that desk is mine as well. I borrow it whenever Iām runninā low on space.ā
You shake your head in disapproval.Ā
āWho cares? They always let me borrow it with a smile on their face.ā
You offer to clean it up.
āWhy should I clean it up? Just forgetĀ ābout that guyās desk.ā
You insist.
āWho caresĀ ābout some other personās desk? Cleaninā up is a big pain in the ass...ā
You start cleaning it up yourself.
*Rustle rustle*
āDidnāt I just tell ya itās fine? Why are ya so worriedĀ ābout some other dude?ā
Yuma leans in close.Ā
āYouāre my woman, right? In that case, donāt be thinkināĀ ābout anythinā or anyone but me. ...Or are ya tryinā to butter up to this guy, hopinā to seduce him afterwards? Am I not enough to satisfy ya?ā
You shake your head.Ā
āThen just leave it be. It pisses me off so stop cleaninā.ā
*Rustle*
āBesides...You havenāt forgotten ābout our lilā bet, right? I said Iād tease ya until ya start voluntarily begginā for my fangs, right? Are ya sure ya should leave yer back wide open like this?ā
You flinch.
āYouāve realized? What Iām gonna do to ya now, that is.ā
He runs his hands across your back.
āIāll punish ya for worryināĀ ābout some other guy. A penalty to ensure ya wonāt ever pull this sorta shit again.ā
You try and break free from his grip.Ā
*Rustle rustle*
ā...Ugh. No point in strugglinā. Iām holdinā ya from behind after all. No way Iām lettinā ya go.ā
*Rustle*
āCome on. Put yer hands on the desk.ā
*Thud*
āWell then...Where should I suck ya? For example...HowĀ ābout I latch onto this throat over here?ā
*Rustle rustle*
āNo? Then would ya prefer yer legs? ...Like yer thighs, the softest part where my fangs would just sink right in.ā
*Rustle rustle*
āAlso...From the groin (1) would be nice as well. Pretty sure Iād be able to indulge in plenty of sweet, delicious blood.ā
*Rustle*
"...And itās quite the embarrassinā place. However, suckinā yer blood while yer face is turninā red from shame would be simply irresistable.ā
You protest.
āAah? Ya donāt want me to suck from yer legs either? Ya sure are selfish, tellinā meĀ ānoā this whole time...It has to be a punishment, remember? Geez, it canāt be helped. Come on, face this way.ā
You turn your head towards Yuma.
ā...And then, get on top of me.ā
*Thud*
*Rustle rustle*
āMake sure to keep yer arms wrappedĀ āround my back,Ā ākay? If not, youāll fall from the chair.ā
You ask Yuma what he is doing.Ā
āI got tired of yer whininā, so Iām gonna suck ya gently like ya want. Besides...If it feels good, it might actually be harder on ya. By the way...Yer body has gotten really heated. I havenāt even sucked ya yet, but youāve gotten quite worked up. One bite might just push ya over the edge (2), donāt ya think? Come on...Iāll suck from yer nape. Ya better focus on the sensation of my fangs sinkinā into yer flesh...ā
Yuma bites you.
āMm...ā
*Sluuuurp*
āNn...ā
*Sluuuurp*
āć¼ć¼ Haah! Just as I thought...Those are some hella sweet cries. Weāve only just gotten started...Iāll be takinā my sweet time suckinā yer blood...ā
You whimper softly.
āHehe. Ya canāt get enough of the thought of that, can ya? Even if ya keep quiet...I can tell by yer expression. Well...Donāt ya think itāsĀ ābout time ya start begginā for it yerself? Tell me that ya want my fangs. Or else...I wonāt ever let ya go.ā
You shake your head.
āChe...Ya still wonāt say it? Youāre so damn persistent. In that case, this place is up next...ā
*Rustle*
āIāll suck from yer wrist so ya get a good view. Pretty sure thisāll make ya realize just how badly yer body craves me, whether ya like it or not.ā
Yuma bites your wrist.
*Sluuuurp*
āNn...ā
You pull out the hourglass.
*Cling*
ā...Haah? ...Aah? The fuckās this sound? Ah! Ya turned back time again, didnāt ya!? ...Fuck!ā
*Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock*
ć¼ć¼ć¼
You are running down the street.
ā...Oi! How long ya gonna keep on runninā for!?ā
Yuma catches up to you.
ā...Woah there! Gotcha! Ya made a run for it as soon as we rewinded, weāve made it all the way to the city!ā
You try and explain.
āNoĀ ābuts!ā ...No, whatever. Iāve kind of lost interest, so weāll continue our lilā game later. ...For today, I guess we can just do our shoppinā and head home. Come on, I brought yer bag along as well.ā
*Rustle*
You grab your bag and thank him.
āHaah...ā
The two of you start walking.
āThat beinā said, this challenge is takinā longer than I expected. I was convinced yaād bend in no time but youāre surprisingly sturdy? Well, youāve been usinā the hourglass tho so it isnāt really fair. Without that lilā thing, the score would be long settled by now.ā
You protest.Ā
āWhatever. Anyway, letās head to the supermarket.ā
You ask him what you have to buy.
āIngredients for todayās dinner. Also some seasonings. Iām droppinā by the pharmacy as well. Azusaās runninā low on bandages so we gotta stock up on some new ones. Also...I wanna look for some cotton gloves as well.ā
You raise a brow, asking if he really needs those.Ā
āNot for me, but tiny ones for ya. Iād be convenient to have them layināĀ āround for whenever ya help out in the garden, right?ā
You agree, smiling.
ā...No need to thank me. Come on, letās get goinā.ā
ć¼ć¼ TO BE CONTINUED ć¼ć¼

Thanks for the games Iāll defo try to watch them, cause it seems that when I donāt watch Canada loses and we canāt have that š¤.
And yeah unless she played in the games in the US sheās probably gonna be the 3rd goalie which is ok itāll be good for her development cause sheās a young goalie and goalies tend to get better with age.
Those coins look sick! I love all the different sports on there!Yeah defo show me your collection! I donāt really collect but my Nan gave me the Montreal centennial coin set from when she lived in Montreal and got them there.
Yeah I can imagine it was crazy over here when England played in the euro final (we are not that good at it but we invented it and like it) , I had a game that day and one of our players or coach ran in to the changing room (cause weād just finished and was changing as fast as we could so we could watch) and just shouted England scored! And we were buzzing.
GB is my fave like the logo and the colours and the sleeves just works šš¤·āāļø.Thereās some absolutely gorgeous jerseys internationally Germany is nice, Russias is good (Russia Russia not ROC Russia),and Iām partial to swedens even tho thatās pretty plain. Thereās a few more I like too but none are popping up rn.
Tbf yeah I agree itās like the same but idk what else they could do. Maybe the three leaf thing like they had in the 90s? Or it split with designs of each province/territory ?
Yay we love fightsš good on Jenner and Clarky (I needed to make her surname more hockey vibes) for protecting the tendy. And lol thatās a mood.
Poor fillier :( but I feel like thatās a mood in hockey as soon as that whistle is gone play nice š. Oooh a high hitting game sounds fun but the PIMs mustāve been so high!
Iād be willing to bet itās designed that way, make the opposing team as uncomfortable as possible, give em the smallest hottest changing room and the bench u have to cross the ice to .
Live hockey> everything elsešš
And omg thatās boss! Net seats are really cool! Glad you didnāt see any non Canada goals right in front of you cause that would be painful. And thatās also dead cool too getting to see the players so close up ! What jersey are you gonna get?
Oh no poor Desbiens and MPP šš hopefully they didnāt get a fine or penalty. Tbf It is really weird theyād put anthems before the game rather than just the winners at the end?š¤·āāļøš
Taking off your helmet fast is weird too, we donāt do anthems or that but on remembrance day they did like 2 mins silence and a speech and both teams lines up in the blue lines and took off their helmets but I was so confused when the other team was just stood there (our huddle was longer than theirs) cause we donāt usually do anything like that. -Also standing still in hockey skates for about 2-5 mins is very hard.
(Also if i didnāt reply to anything Iāll add in the morning itās late and Iām tired and need to start watching the time lol)š
You have to commit and watch the rest we need you
Yeah like I didnāt expect her to really be one of the two because obviously desbiens and maschmeyer are very good and more experienced but I guess I just hoped sheād get a real chance to prove herself but it is what it is but hopefully for the next Olympics she will be there
Thatās the best part of the Olympics or big tournaments because the whole country just rallies behind the athletes like it doesnāt matter if youāre a sports fan or if you know anything about the sports happening if Canadaās doing well weāre all the biggest fans
Yeah I feel like European countries always have good jerseys and Canada and the us tend to be boring and safe, but I think Canadaās would be better if they included some designs, like I think if they partnered with local artists who created designs you know like I think that would be cool. I like the 2010 one because they had the design in the leaf and since maple trees are only in Ontario and Quebec that having different designs to represent the rest of Canada
I love Clarky because she always gets in fights like I love it, also I totally have been calling her clarky in my head can you believe we have one brain? š
High hitting games are so cool especially in person I loved seeing the Americans get fucking bodied š the refs let a lot of shit go but they also called a lot of pens
But yeah itās all mind tactics eh give the visiting teams the worst bench the worst locker room š
I donāt know what player Iāll get if Iāll even get one but Iād honestly just love a Canadian one even if thereās no name, I just want a hockey jersey theyāre my favourite kind of jerseys
I donāt think theyāll get fined for it, it wasnāt disrespectful you know like it wasnāt intentional so I donāt think theyāll get in trouble for it more than the coach or someone just telling them not to do it again
But true I forgot you europeans donāt play the anthem before games, we do it here and in the us before the games you play the anthems, they donāt normally televised them anymore, but yeah standing in skates must be hard, the players just kinda kept shifting their feet
Also!! Iām going to put pictures of the rest of my coin collection here!! Iām very proud of it itās my most prized possession
Also ignore my philosophy notes in the first one š

United vs Chelsea - Conti Cup Semi Final - 29/01/2020
So the line up and bench for this one was interesting. Aimee Palmer was cup tied for this one, having already lined out for Sheffield United earlier in the season, Ella Toone is currently serving a 3 game suspension following a (questionable) red card vs Spurs, and both Kirsty Hanson and Leah Galton are out injured, which led to a very sparse bench, and pretty much the same XI as vs City. Lauren James started in place of Jane Ross, which was very clearly a good idea.
First half:
This game was a little cagey to start with, but ultimately a lot better than Saturdayās showing vs City. LJ had a decent shot around 6 mins, after some great build work from Groenen.
Abbieās constant back passes to Earps returned, as did my anxiety. To be honest, Earps never looks completely comfortable to be on the receiving end of back passes so I donāt understand why the majority of that back 4 insist on playing that way so often?
Aside from those back passes, I though Abbie had a really good game. At least until she was forced off injured deep into the second half. She played an absolute stormer from the first whistle, and she was literally everywhere. Had a decent chance to get the first goal too around the 25 minute mark, very unfortunate to have that header go straight at Telford. She really, really redeemed herself after that performance vs City at the weekend.
ā27 - some Wales on Wales crime. Sophie Ingle booked for an almighty challenge on Hayley Ladd. Fair enough, the way Hayley fired herself into Ingle may have made it look more than it was. Entertaining tho. Iām also gonna take this opportunity to confess that I may be a little bit (a lot) in love with Hayley Ladd. I gotta be honest, I didnāt really know much about her before she signed in the summer, but sheās really, really great. I feel like sheās kinda underrated a little bit? Anyway, I genuinely donāt think this girl feels any pressure, like at all. A little bit like LJ I guess. She just gets her head down and does her job - calm and cool 100% of the time. I would very much like her to stay forever. Iām definitely gonna have to start watching more of this Wales team arenāt I?
ā34 - Earps with a cracking save. I feel like sheās more of a shot stopper than anything else, her distribution can be a little off sometimes, but she did really well to deny Chelsea there.
I think James and Arnot linked up quite well last night, especially around the 40 minute mark, unfortunately Lizzie was called just offside. Sheās really impressed me (whenever she gets a shot) this season tbh, I hope she manages to get herself in the XI more often from now on.
ā42 - Jess Sigsworth pulling double shifts again. Sheās constantly down around that back four, helping out and sometimes doing other peopleās jobs for them and Iām kinda terrified that sheās gonna run herself into a brick wall at some stage? Like I think itās fairly clear that we need to reinforce and add depth and quality defensively but I also think itās pretty clear that Jess isnāt the answer to that particular problem, as impressive as her drive and her work rate is.
ā43 - United should have been clear and away on the counter there. There was an earlier challenge from Ladd (Iām pretty sure) that the ref took an age to make up her mind on, and by the time she decided to call it back, Groenen (again, Iād have to rewatch to be 100% certain) was up and over the halfway line on the break. Annoying af.
Halftime:
Tbh I thought United did really well to not have conceded and to still be in the game at the half. The first half as a whole was pretty decent, Chelsea ultimately had the better chances and were the slightly stronger team. I just wish we could have taken the few chances we had in the first half and made something from them, Telford isnāt the worldās best keeper and I feel like we could have tested her more and I was kinda disappointed we didnāt.
Second half:
ā47 - a fairly decent (surprisingly. Itās no secret weāre pretty piss poor at set pieces) from Zelem resulted in Amy heading just over, which hurt my soul. (I wanted her to score so bad youse have no idea)
ā52 - Arnot had a decent chance, and was 100% in cause Telford came about 82739 miles off her line, but unfortunately it was cleared away. (Sidenote: I HATE when keepers come off their line and out of their box like that, even opposition keepers. It just really shits me out. Anyway)
ā53 - a decent Chelsea opportunity goes wide. I saw somewhere (twitter probably) that it took a deflection, but Iād have to rewatch to be certain. FA Player get your shit together and upload the game so I can double check challenge š
The game really started to come to life around the 50 minute mark. Both teams had decent chances within about a minute of each other, and Unitedās intensity really stepped up - they came out guns blazing in the second. Both teams pressing and passing really cleaned up around this time too.
ā61 - decent chance for Sigsworth. Angle was just too tight, but I think the build up was massively overworked. She passed it off the Zelem who held it for a little too long imo, before sending it back to Jess who lashed it into the side netting. Think Jess could have made something of it first time but hey, whatās done is done now.
Game started to get a little scrappy heading into the last 20 mins - back to the rushed and mismatched and intercepted passes of the first half.
ā70 - Chelsea free kick saved well by Earps.
ā71 - Goal - Chelsea. Really tight angle, just about squeezed home. Really good work from Mjelde in hindsight but I feel like Earps could have saved that one. I hate to blame her entirely but she really should have done better with closing that one down.
ā72 - almost an instant response from United. LJ had a fantastic chance to equalise but unfortunately scorched it over the bar. Iām not gonna lie, I expected a little better from her there, but I understand the urgency.
ā73 - pretty soft yellow for Sigsworth
ā74 - Ross š Arnot.
Seemed like all the wind was sucked out of United after that goal, approaching the 80 minute mark. Most of that intensity and urgency was still kinda there and evident in small bursts, but was mostly lacking.
ā80 - United forced into a change. Harris (donāt talk to me) š McManus. Abbie took a bit of a blow around 20 minutes in, committing a challenge she was ultimately booked for. Fair play to her, she played through it, but she was definitely struggling for a while there. Apparently she was on crutches after the game, so I hope itās nothing too serious. Also interested to see what Casey does with that back 4 if sheās out for a while. Amy obviously goes back in and CB but it would appear Martha is higher than Ćkvist in the pecking order, which is annoying. I get that Casey is more defensive minded and might not want to play two more attacking FBās at once (Ćkvist & Smith) but Martha... š¤
ā84 - James had a great ball in that forced a corner that - you guessed it - nothing came of
ā85 - Earps had a great block to deny Chelsea a second (and really and truly kill me off)
ā88 - Harris decides to try her luck from a little way out. It was a decent shot to be fair, given the circumstances, just couldnāt get the dip it needed and never really troubled Telford on itās way over the bar.
4 minutes at the end of the 90 but United couldnāt get anything to stick, which was massively unfortunate.
Two semi final defeats in a row is absolutely gut wrenching, and very hard to take, but last night taught me a lot about this team. I personally thought that this game was miles better and such an improvement on Arsenal away last season. They were much better all round, in every position than last weekend vs City. To come so close against the 3 best teams in the league 5 times now and walk away with nothing is hard, and I feel so bad for those girls. They give their all everytime they step out on that pitch, and they deserved more. This week in particular. Seeing them all in literal bits at the final whistle nearly broke me tbh.
But itās becoming more glaringly apparent as the season goes on that we are in desperate need of a more clinical, stone blood killer up top. Iād also be open to giving Mikalen a run in goal to prove herself - I think Earps has been a bit off lately.
Galton and Hanson were massively missed last night, and I think we could have done with Toone as well, but oh well.
I had my issues with the ref as well last night, I have to say. I thought she handled the knocks and (most of) the bookings correctly, as well as the penalty shout (which was not a penalty, sorry Jess) but she missed a clear foul on Jackie (59 mins) as well as a clear tug on Arnot (64 mins) in the second half. I also thought LJ was very lucky to get away with just a yellow for her foul on Ingle at the end of the first half, looked a little more like a red to me š¬
Hopefully Galton will be back for Sunday - she absolutely tore Reading to shreds the last time out and I would very much like to see more of that š„, but Iām kinda worried about that midfield trio too. The last thing we need is three defeats on the bounce, but they must be dyinggg cause they literally never, ever stop.
I know this one is a little later than usual and the format is slightly different too, but I was watching the men (for some reason) as well, and it was kinda hard to keep track of two games at once lol. Plus I just wasnāt really in the mood to try and to this last night. Also - if anyone has critiques or corrections or questions about my opinions or anything else pls donāt hesitate to drop them in my ask and Iāll edit things and answer whatever as best as I can āš½

IsFly Musings and In-Game Scribbles
Overtime Period One
I open the browser and see a heavy shot total. Ā Isles lead 44-20. And the thing has gone into overtime. Ā Leading three-two after leading three-one .. is fine. Ā So many such series end 4-2. Ā But. Ā If you let them back in after 3-1 up, especially in hockey ... it's a concern. Ā A hot risk. Ā
Varlamov is in net for Isles. Ā Thomas Greiss only logged one game this playoff. Ā Tho the 34 year-old is capable. Ā And could start forty a season, likely. Ā [Ed note: He's started 39, 38 and 49 with Isles in varying years; just 28 this year. Ā Varlamov is a 6M man to Greiss' 3M. Ā Varlamov started 39 this year and has 13 playoff starts to Greiss' one.]
I struggle with various streams ... I can't be bothered with my box downstairs. Ā Not now. Ā Not this season. Ā Yes, it still works. Ā However. Ā It's complicated. Ā
Six and forty-five.
Isles enter, the Flyers are five in the screen as they steal back and look organized. Ā
The Isles don't have a slick, untouchable, unrankable forward .. no franchise player. Ā They've come, perhaps not full circle but some kind of time-mango to the team I enjoyed about six seasons ago. Ā When Jack whatshisname was the coach [Jack Capuano; seven seasons with a 47-win register in 14-15]. Ā And they were a bunch of No Names. Ā Buoniconti's Bees. Ā Or whatever. Ā Am-I-Rite? Ā [Ed note: You've confused to Miami Dolphin entities; the Buoniconti-era No Name Defence and the Woodley-era Bees]
Four and fifty. Ā
The Isles make comfortable ovals around the tight fingers of the cyborg orange. Ā Flyers are coached by still-likeable Alain Vigneault (yes, THAT Alain Vigneault) but they're still P for putrid. Ā
Faceoff to Carter Holt's left. Ā Carter Bailey? Ā Carter Barter? Ā These names. Ā He's good, tho. Ā And not a bad kid.
The Isles shot lead is now 50-20. Ā I've missed most of the game so I don't know what kind of 50-20 we're talking about here. Ā Knowing the Isles, the number probably means early-game verve and then third period Flyer Failings. Ā The Isles also gear down in the final frame; great goals for-against ratio in the playoff third.
Oh those Fliers. Ā
I'm a bit busted. Ā And shelved. Ā And so forth. Ā But I've been bookish. Ā Filmish. Ā Sipe. Ā Fouts. Ā Chuck Knox. Ā Staubach and Dorsett against Bradshaw and Franco. Ā
Also Ali. Ā Jimmy Young. Ā The Foreman. Ā Some other odds and ends including an appearance on Donahue by Norton, Holmes, Frazier and Ali. Ā
Two and thirty.
The Flyers seem to be waiting for Doom. Ā No. Ā Not that Doom [Ed note: Legion of Doom]. Ā The 2020 Doom. Ā
Komarov fires off a drop-pass and it hits wild and high. Vigneault's suit is not as sharp as last game's but still sharper than most other coaches'. Ā I guess Vigneault made an insensitive remark last week that got flash-featured on RDS' Instagram feed. Ā Remember RDS? Ā Ah ha ha. Ā Of course you do. So do I.
Habs are still in my dawghawse. Ā Fire MB, bro.
Isles penalty. Ā Moments later, Cizikis is hauled down on a short-handed thrust... cross-check-shoved from behind by Flyer d-man Sanheim at the circle. Ā We go to fours. Ā
And 1:18 left in the period. Ā
The first OT period of this game (as per my feed). Ā My, ah, procured feed. Ā
<shrug> Ā
I've paid so much. Ā And what about all the dropped wifi. Fuck Rogers. Ā
Thirty-eight seconds. Ā
Leddy low behind his end line. Ā Back and forth. Ā Now they emerge. Ā Pelech. Ā Up for Pageau. Ā Drives left to right, crosses the crease but the puck dribbles off. Ā
And then the siren.
First Intermission (OT) Isles 4, Fliers 4
Do I really need to hear Vegas pronounced "VEGG-USS"? Ā No, I don't. Ā It's VAY GUSS. Ā Ok?
Vancouver is down 3-2 in that "series" and if anyone SHOULD tie up a series after being down 3-1 (which the Canucks WERE) it's Vancouver. Ā Ok?
I'm going to end each paragraph with "ok?" for now. Ā Ok?
Ok. Ā The feed fades to commercial imagery as I face a commercial break. Ā Ok?
I've also been watching Derek Carr games prior to the Gruden hire. Ā And just generally catching up on missed NFL footage. Ā I missed 2004-2018 as you may or may not recall. Ā Ok?
Hm. Ā I forgot about ALT-F4 but just instinctively used it to down some unwanted sprung pages from yet another feed. These feeds are reliable, yes. Ā I haven't decided how I want to view games at home. Ā Over the past six years (essentially the length of my musings absence; with the odd short exception) I've kept watching .. more each season (minus Montreal) but almost always in public. Ā And often with a beer involved. Ā Different from the coffee period. Ā Tonight is coffee, of course. Ā But you wouldn't know why it's "of course". Ā You THINK you know. Ā But you DON'T KNOW. Ā And you NEVER WILL. Ā JK. Ā Ok? Overtime Second Period Isles 4, Fliers 4
We resume. Ā A quick shot of Alain. Ā His usual expression for "situation" situations. Ā Isles have a brief advantage and they control. Ā Anders Lee. Ā Loses it on the hash. Ā
Fliers' number eighteen escapes [Ed note: Tyler Pitlick RW]. Ā Wrister. Ā Free, a defender just out of the picture. Ā Varlamov extends his glove across his left post and nabs it. Ā Announcer says it was easy. Ā But I felt some quease.
Prior to the regular season, I went on record (somewhere) to say Isles would win the Cup. Ā My pool picks were according(ly). Ā Ok?
Fuck boomers, bro.
And many of my Gen X compatriots. They've forgotten what it was like to get followed around the 7-11. Ā Or Blockbuster. Ā Rogers Video. Ā Etc. Ā
And now we have Gen Z. Ā Yes! Ā As cool as millenials. Ā But different style. Ā
The penalty elapsed. Ā Back to fives. Ā Regular season OT means four-on-four. But, NHL conservatism (what remains of it) requires fives in the playoffs. Ā Heaven forbid that skill should settle a contest (over brawn, sistas and bruthas, over brawn).
Flyers swarm. Ā They close. Ā Varlamov is a vacuum man, lost papers, lost trinkets ... the tools twinkle and he closes the pad. Ā Boy does it look like a puck went in on the rear-net replay. Ā Nope. Ā That was a stick blade. Ā Then the helicopter view above the crease shows Varlamov's boot curvetouch the puck out. Ā And Pelech drops, face to boot and helps elbow the puck into exile. Clutching Varly's pad, a dainty shoeman showman.
No goal.
And that hectic moment is forgotten. Ā Neutral zone calm. But the Flyers accelerate. Ā They dare. Ā It's daring because any uptick from Philly results in Isle commitment. Ā Isles ARE the better team. Ā And the Flyers best hope is a languid opponent. Ā I wish I'd seen the first three periods. Ā Maybe tomorrow. Ā (There's a song about that)
Fourteen and fourteen left.
Oh. Ā And it's Carter Hart. Ā He's about twenty. Ā It's his second or so full season. Ā Image search shows a possibly likeable young fella. Ā
Shots are 52-28, Isles.
Wrap. Ā Whoah. Ā Flyers Are able to ... take advantage of fatigue. Ā Isles emerge. Eberle, he of Oil fame, winds and fires. Ā We hear a ting but not a post-ting. Eberle's wild shots are part of his charm. Ā Right? Ā
Ok?
Flyers settle in for another five-on-five unwanted visit in Islander ice. Ā
Nelson carries it out. Ā Flushed out after a shot. Ā Isles re-enter. Ā Uncle Leo. Ā Yes, he's an Isle now. Ā
So. Ā When we're talking about these blue-name no name Island Aislers ... lotta functional no-mistake hockey merchants ... forward names include Anders Lee, Mathew Barzal, Jordan Eberle (that's your tabbed first forward line). Ā Anthony Beauvillier, Brock Nelson, Josh Bailey, Derrick Brassard, Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Uncle Leo. Ā I guess <sigh> he's not as annoying as before. Ā But.
Nine and twenty-five. Ā
Isles start to press. Ā Pageeau line. Ā He's the centre. Ā Brassard and Leo. Ā First pairing on the blue; Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock.
They're pushed back and then emerge quietly. Ā Sneakily. Ā Flyers are more concerned with maintaining their starfish five formation then just childishly lunging for the puck. Ā They're taking away any slot passes and happy to let Isles ping from the outside. Ā Seems effective.
Ok. Ā So Hart. Ā He's 21. Ā He started thirty last year and 40 this season. Ā Most teams completed 62 games before the season was postponed. Ā Yes. Ā Covid-19. If you're reading this in 2030.
He was 0.917 last year and 0.914 this season. Ā The bulk of starters will rank between 0.910 and 0.920. Ā I would suggest that increments of 0.35 are significant. Ā It's a team stat, too, of course. Ā And must be superimposed with the usual criteria; shot quality and contestation, opponent formations, opponent quality ... etc, etc, blah blah blah. Ā Ok?
Your friend Carter is from Sherwood Park, Alberta (just outside Edmonton). Ā
Six and forty. Ā
Flyers beat Montreal last round in what was described by some as a tight and tough series ("some" being certain interviewed Flyers).
Their captain is Claude Giroux. Ā Yes. Ā He's a captain now. Ā And that should tell you about the P for putrid. Ā Putridity varies from spot to spot in the rink, of course. Ā In the building(s). Ā But yes. Ā It's still the Fliers you love. Ā Ah ha ha.
Brian Elliott, that paragon of goaltending arrogance (not alone in the league) started 27 Flier games. Ā His save percentage was 0.899. Ā Yes. Ā You can laugh out loud.
Fliers score. Ā The puck ekes through the pads.
There will be a game seven. Ā
Hm.
Cuthbert cites a Mayfield broken stick as the pumpkin break. Ā He was shooting from their blue. Ā Stick broke (these dumb modern sticks .. I mean how many years have they had to get them right). Ā Typical Flier goal.
Just shooooooot. Ā Shooooooooot. Ā We gotta get more rubber on net. Ā
Some tyrannies counted bullets. Ā

NCT Dream reaction to their crush kissing them because of a dare
Thank you for the cute request! ^^ I really hope this is to your liking! I made the reactions a little longer than usual, I hope theyāre still enjoyable! ><
okay so i struggled a lot with the gifs because of my crappy internet so i kinda got annoyed at one point but i still hope everyone likes this, itās a really cute request omg TuT i hope the reactions arenāt too messy ><
Mark
Theyād be playing truth or dare with a group of friends and his crush would choose dare
And one of Markās friends (probably Donghyuk tbh), knowing about Markās crush on the person, would be likeĀ āI dare you to kiss Mark!ā
And Mark and his crush would just look at each other, surprised
Mark would try to make sure that they were fine with it, not wanting to make them do anything they were comfortable with
Theyād end up kissing eventually
After the kiss: giggly af and also kinda smug idk, canāt hide his happiness
āI... um, actually... like you...ā
And his crush would say the same
The getting together part, I feel like heād be likeĀ āSo... Are we, like...? A couple now?ā *with a wide grin and blushed cheeks*
After getting a nod/yes: *screams internally* *gif* life goals achievedĀ
Would lowkey start planning cute datesĀ
Renjun
His crush would be dared by their friends to confess to and kiss him
And his crush would do it out of the blue, like while heād be walking on school grounds, surprising the living soul out of this fluff ball
After the kiss theyād just stand there for a bit and heād resemble a strawberry because OMG THEY JUST KISSED ME AM I IN HEAVEN??
A blushing, soft, shy bean, behold the purest boy in existence
āI.... My friends told me I shouldĀ confess to you...ā they'd mumble, afraid of rejection
And heād be a little sad but would end up confessing:
āI know that was just a dare but Iāve kinda had a crush on you for a while now... I just wanted to let you know, even if you donāt feel the same way...āĀ
*ends up in heaven after being confessed to by his crush*Ā
āOmg, holy moomin, is this real? For real? Did we just... become a couple?ā *collapses out of joy and scares the livingĀ shouldĀ our of his crush*
Just like Mark, would start planning all kinds of sweet and fluffy dates
Jeno
Theyād be out playing games or something, with a mutual group of friends
And their friends would all know that the two liked each other
So theyād make a plan to get the two together
It would all happen through him or his crush losing and as aĀ āpenaltyā, their friends would tell them to kiss
And his crush would lose in some game and be told to kiss him
Jeno would be taken aback but theyād kiss him before he would be able to say anything
And after the kiss, his crush would confessĀ
Although surprised, heād be really excited and show it by being hyper check the gif for reference
*starts to aggressively send finger hearts and confesses*
āWanna date?ā why do i see him being reallyĀ straightforward all of a sudden, i used to see him as this shy lil fluff ball wthĀ āYeah? You better mark today in your calendar, itās our first day!ā *holds now s/oās hand with a grin*Ā well i guess itās just the fact that i imagine him being extremely excited and it would kinda get rid of all the shyness and whatnot...?
Haechan
Okay, letās bring back the situation I created with Markās reaction (where theyāre playing truth or dare with a group of friends)
So, after Haechan creating the situation between Mark and his crush, Mark would be out forĀ ārevengeā and knowing that this boy had a crush on one of the people there, heād do the same thing for him
But, this time, the target would be Haechan
Heād choose truth instead of dare and Mark would just goĀ āDo you have feelings for _____?ā
This smol boy would be all taken aback and start blushing, but would eventually confess that he did indeed have feelings for that one person
Heād act like it wasnāt a big deal, telling his crush that he understood if they didnāt feel the same way about him, and would rush the others to continue the game quickly
And the game would continue until his crushās turn came when the others would dare them to kiss himĀ
His crush would confess to him after the kiss, making this boy the happiest person in the world
I think he would maybe feel a little shy but would hide it with being loud and laughing and being all happy
Heād be blushing, tho, which would kinda make all the acting useless
Jaemin
I imagine the situation being similar to Renjunās where the crush is told by their friends to go and kiss (+confess to) him
Theyād be hanging out with, again, a mutual group of friends, just walking around town or at a park or something
The two would be left alone for a bit and his crush would just use the chance to kiss him, thinking:Ā well, might as well do it now
After the kiss, heād be surprised and taken aback, staring at his crush with wide eyes
āI definitely didnāt expect thatā heād say
After his crush would actually confess to him, they'd be a little apologetic
HeādĀ chuckle a little and be somewhat smug, idk, what
Heād be really sweet, tho, smiling sweetly at them and being all mushy
āSame hereā heād confess and maybe peck them on the forehead
And the two would just be a blushing, giggling mess until their friends would return who would immediately go:Ā āDid you two finally confess?ā
Theyād hold hands for the rest of the day while walking around, looking at each other with a smile every once in a while
Chenle
He and his crush would both be dared by their own friends to kissĀ
Neither would know about the other oneās dare
The two would be, like, study buddies or something
So, they were really close already, spending a lot of their free time together ahh the library or at different cafƩs or something
And one day while studying with his crush, this boy would look up and spontaneously decide to just go for it then and there
His crush would be really surprised and heād be all smiley and somewhat shy, scratching the back of his head awkwardly
āI... Sorry, I was dared by my friends to do that... They said theyāre getting tired of my crush on you, haha...ā *rambles on forever, casually confessing while heās at it, while his crush just sits there*
Eventually, his crush would just want him to shut up and what a better way to do that than getting up and kissing him, getting rid of the dare and finally confessing their own feelings
This boy would be, at first, taken aback but would eventually let out one of those loud screams and would be all smiley and hyper
And the rest of the study session would be spent just giggling and being all kiddy
Jisung
I see him hanging out with Jeno, Haechan and a group of friends
The two older ones would keep telling him how he should confess to his long-time crush who was hanging out with them that day
Heād tell them that he wouldnāt,Ā āknowingā that his crush didnāt like him back
For his surprise, though, his crush would come up to him at one point, giving him a quick kiss and confessingĀ
āWait, are you serious?ā heād be really surprised since he had thought that they didnāt like him back
After getting confirmation from them, heād be really confused because he wouldnāt know what to do
And it would eventually make his crush think that he didnāt like them and theyād be all apologetical and shy
āWhat? No, no, no, no, no!! I like you too! Iām just really surprised, like?ā heād be a little panicked,Ā āWow, my heartās going to burst out of my chest.ā
And heād be a blushing mess, trying to assure them that he liked them a lot and in the end, theyād just giggle, both blushing

My Idol 2: Part Ten
My Idol From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My Idol is a South Korean competitive reality dating game show. It currently airs on Wednesday nights on Jae-bummerās blog. First broadcast in 2016, the show offers the opportunity for a lucky fan to go on seven blind dates with seven idols. The idol plans the date with the show throwing in specific missions to complete during the day. At the end of the initial dates, the show opens up an audience vote to decide what three idols will move on to the second date.
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 - Part 9 -Ā Part 10 - Part 11
Waddling to the waterās edge, you surveyed the small pallet Jae had set up for the two of you. Knowing you wouldnāt be able to stand for any extended period of time, you were appreciative of his gesture, but immediately began to see flaws in his plan.Ā
āThere are no fish,ā you said simply, looking up at him with furrowed brows.Ā āCall me crazy, but I think you have to have those to you know...actively ice-fish.āĀ
āTheyāll come,ā Jae nodded.Ā āI mean...I assume. Iām not going to pretend like Iāve done this before and then be subject to the ridicule of my fishermen peers at what a failure I am.āĀ
āAre there like...message boards for ice fishing?ā you chuckled, shaking your head.Ā āWhere the antiās will leave you hate comments on your technique?ā
āIāve seen stranger on the internet,ā he chuckled, immediately halting his laugh as he looked toward you with wide eyes.Ā āNot like...I actively search for weird stuff on the internet. Or weird stuff in general. I mean...I just...my twitter mentions are a mess, okay?ā
āNoted,ā you nodded, trying to keep from completely losing it. This guy was easily one of the most interesting people you had met on your My Idol journey. Whether that was a good or bad thing, you were still uncertain.Ā āSo Iāll prepare myself now for a future with no fish.āĀ
āMISSION!āĀ
āSomething tells me weāre going to have to find a fish,ā Jae grumbled, snatching the red envelope directed at him. He slid his slender fingers along the lip of the envelope before pausing and shooting a casual side eye to the My Idol crew. His tongue sat curiously between his lips as he was lost in thought, making eye contact with you before sending a glance to the precut hole in the ice.Ā
āDonāt even think about it, pretty boy,ā one of the camera men clucked.Ā āIf that envelope goes in the water, weāve got a back up and you may not like what we have planned.āĀ
āOkay, one,ā Jae nodded, his face scrunched in frustration.Ā āThank you for the pretty boy comment. Usually those comments get directed at my bandmate, Brian, but whenever I get them, I just canāt help but feel so deserving-ā
āJae,ā you coughed in an attempt to get him back on track.Ā
āRight,ā he nodded.Ā āTwo, who said I was going to drop the envelope in the water? Three, Iām sure I wonāt like this mission anymore than Iād like the back up mission you have prepared. And four-ā
āOh, give it to me,ā you grumbled, snatching the mission card from his hands and pulling it from the envelope.Ā āWish for a fish; catch at least one fish within the next hour. Failure to complete this mission will result in a penalty.āĀ
āCalled it,ā Jae muttered, crossing his arms. You rolled your eyes before handing the envelope back to one of the camera men.Ā
āWe canāt fish here,ā you repeated, readjusting your crutches.Ā
āAnd why not?ā Jae asked.Ā
āBecause half of this cut in the ice...is literally dirt,ā you explained. āThereās no way weāre going to catch a fish when weāre pretty much attempting to do it in the bank.āĀ
āBut...I didnāt want you to have to sit on the ice,ā he pouted.Ā
āHate to break it to you,ā you winced, glancing up at him.Ā āBut I think thatās the whole idea behind ice fishing.ā
āWell I mean, technically, sure,ā he hummed.Ā āIf you want to look at it THAT way.āĀ
āWhat about that one?ā you sighed, pointing to another precut hole a few feet away.Ā āOr maybe the one over there? Either of those should work.āĀ
āYou sound like you know youāre way around an ice-fishing Youtube tutorial or two,ā Jae grinned with a small nod.Ā āOkay Captain, letās go to whichever one you want.āĀ
āThis one,ā you confirmed, pointing to the next closest hole about ten feet away.Ā āThatās the one.āĀ
āLetās get you out there then,ā he hummed, glancing down at your cast.Ā āOn second thought, maybe ice fishing wasnāt exactly the best idea I could have thought up...for you know...safety purposes.āĀ
āBut weāre here now and are making the best of it,ā you hummed, teetering on the edge of the ice. You held your breath as you were about to take your first hop, when Jae grabbed you.Ā
āWait!ā he gasped.Ā āYou donāt honestly think youāre going to hobble out across the ice, do you?āĀ
āWell, how am I supposed to get out there?ā you grumbled.Ā
āInnovation,ā he grinned.Ā āSit on the blanket.ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½Ā
āI told you we canāt fish on the-ā
āAnd I told you,ā he nodded.Ā āSit on the blanket. Trust me.āĀ
āFine,ā you muttered, dropping your crutches and attempting to maneuver yourself toward the ground. Without being prompted, Jae grabbed both of your hands with his, and began to balance you toward a sitting position. Leveraging your weight, he moved his feet against the snow-laden ground, and slowly aided you toward the blanket. You plopped onto the pallet with limited shock waves of pain radiating down your legs and looked up at him in surprise.Ā āThanks.ā
āNo problem,ā he grinned.Ā āNow hold on.āĀ
Before you had a chance to truly get a grip on the blanket, there was a harsh tug on the fabric, nearly sending you flying. You took two handfuls of the quilt as Jae began to pull you onto the ice with impressive speed. Letting out small squeaks of terror, you kept your eyes closed until you finally felt your body slow to a stop.Ā
āJae Park,ā he hummed.Ā āIce fishing genius.āĀ
āI wouldnāt go that far, Casanova,ā you chuckled.Ā āYou got your date out onto the ice, but you havenāt actually caught any fish.āĀ
āTechnicalities,ā he hummed.Ā āStay put while I go grab the supplies.āĀ
āBecause I can definitely get up on my own,ā you muttered, glancing at the new hole Jae had positioned you near. You could already see small flickers of movement beneath the ice, causing your heart to race with anticipation. You were disappointed with the amount of missions you had failed thus far and looked forward to this possible success.Ā
āAlright,ā Jae nodded, plopping onto the pallet beside you.Ā āSo we have this thingy.āĀ
āIs that the proper terminology?ā you asked, lifting your brows and taking the fishing apparatus from his hands. It was a short stick, not much longer than a ruler, with a few feet of fishing line attached. At the bottom of the line sat some sort of bait you werenāt quite familiar with.Ā
āPretty sure,ā Jae nodded with a smile.Ā āAnd this is one of thos top of the line thingies.ā
āOoo, fancy,ā you chuckled, handing it back to him.Ā
āSo Iāll take first shift,ā he sighed, plopping the line into the water.Ā āIām not sure if thereās like...an official technique to this, but I think Iām just gunna wiggle the line every couple of minutes and hope we catch a fish.ā
āThatās a good goal to have,ā you confirmed, trying to tone back your own sarcasm. You werenāt sure if it was the pain medicine or the competition, but you felt incredibly at ease with Jae. From the moment you had met him, he made you feel as if you had known each other for years. It was nice to simply feel comfortable with someone for once. You werenāt on edge about how you would come across, or his perception of you. You werenāt concerned if he was here for the appropriate reasons or if you had chemistry. You knew you already did, but not in the same way you had with other idols. Jae didnāt have textbook visual features, but he was easily one of the best looking men you had ever seen. His beauty wasnāt an unattainable attractiveness, or intimidating in any manner. He was the boy next door you always had a crush on, or the cute guy you got paired with in Science class. He was safe, even though he still made your heart race. There was security in your feelings, a familiarity without being familiar at all.Ā
Glancing into the reflection of the ice, you noticed the intricacies in the way it had frozen. Nature was an incredible piece of art you rarely had a chance to just breathe in and appreciate. Your eyes focused on every small fissure and pattern laid out beneath you, causing you to sigh happily. Glancing over, you caught your own distorted reflection in the shiny surface and eventually let your eyes trace back over to Jae. Even in this less than ideal mirror, he was serving looks.Ā
āHey, Y/N,ā he whispered, bumping your arm with his elbow. āIf I catch a fish, you think youāll let me sign your cast?ā
āSure,āĀ you chuckled.Ā āBut that is the deal. No fish, no sign.āĀ
Jae nodded, trying to hide the smile on his face as he stared down toward the hole.Ā āBut I mean...even if I donāt catch the fish...think of how much you could get for that cast on eBay if I sign it?āĀ
āHave you been eying up the resale price on Day6 merchandise after it has your signature?ā you laughed.Ā
āNo!ā he gasped.Ā āBut if I had...I would see at least a forty dollar price increase.āĀ
āOoo, so after shipping, I could easily have a profit of like...twenty bucks,ā you grinned.Ā
āPfft, where are you shipping it to? Back to the states?ā he argued.Ā āThatās at least a thirty dollar profit.āĀ
āBecause no one from the states could possibly want my gross cast?ā you giggled.Ā āItās more likely to be someone from Korea?ā
āHey, I donāt know demographics here,ā he hummed.Ā āBut weāre just talking-ā
āJae!ā you screeched, hardly being able to contain your excitement.Ā āThe line!āĀ
Jae looked over, shock coating his features as he glanced toward the now wiggling line.Ā āNo way.āĀ
āWay!ā you gasped, waving your arms in the air. If you had been of ideal physical health you would be jumping up and down.Ā āYou caught one!ā
āYeah I did!ā he grinned, hopping up and beginning to pull the line from the water.Ā āI am the master fisherman!āĀ
āAlright, I wouldnāt go that far,ā you laughed.Ā āBut you did it!āĀ
Jae lifted the fish from the water, causing it to flap wildly in midair. He danced happily beside it, his eyes closed as he wiggled his hips. You laughed at the scene, keeping your focus on your date rather than the fish. If you thought too hard about the situation, you knew you would insist he release it back into the water.Ā
But the fish seemed to have that plan anyway.Ā
āJae,ā you croaked, noticing something wasnāt quite right. The fish wiggled ferociously at the end of the line, nearly shaking itself free several times.Ā āUh, Jae?āĀ
āHm?ā he grinned, glancing down at you happily.Ā
āThe-the fish!ā you pointed, your jaw dropping in horror as it finally dislodged itself from the line and flopped onto the ice.Ā
āShit!ā he groaned, immediately dropping to all foursĀ and scrambling to pick it up.Ā āWhat do I do?āĀ
āGrab it!ā you insisted, frozen with incapability to help.Ā
āI donāt want to touch it!ā he shouted, moving his hands uneasily around the fish as he slithered along the ice.Ā
āJae!ā you whined, watching as the fish got closer and closer to the hole in question.
āI know!ā he croaked, just as the fish flopped back into the water.Ā
With a red face and wide eyes, Jae looked toward you and winced.Ā āBut...uh...that still counts as me catching a fish...right?āĀ
You sighed before breaking eye contact with him and glancing toward the ever faithful cameramen.Ā
āPenalty,ā the both said in unison, producing another red envelope for you to grab.Ā
āWe still have whatās left of the hour!ā Jae complained.Ā
āPenalty,ā the camera men repeated, pushing the envelope further toward you.Ā
āThis is cruel and unusual punishment,ā Jae griped, snatching the paper and beginning to rip it open.Ā āI donāt know who I have to write a strongly worded letter to, but Iāll have you know that itās going to get written.āĀ
āWhat does it say?ā you sighed. Jaeās eyes flew over the small card in his hands before he let out a long groan.Ā
āMission fail. Your second challenge will be replaced with a penalty.āĀ
āIntriguing,ā you grumbled.Ā āThe penalty part, Jae, read the penalty part.āĀ
āRight,ā he nodded, heaving another large sigh.Ā āPenalty. Polar bear challenge. Remove your coat and scarf and change into some trunks. Take a five second dip into the pond and get rewarded with a warm treat.āĀ
āExcuse me?ā you croaked, looking toward the camera men.Ā āAnd how exactly do you expect me to do this penalty?āĀ
āWe donāt,ā they grinned, glancing over to Jae.Ā āHim on the other hand.āĀ
āI canāt believe they cut a Jae sized hole,ā Jae whispered, shivering next to the square the My Idol staff had cut into the ice.Ā
āI canāt believe youāre actually going to do this,ā you muttered, surveying your dateās thin frame. Now donning a tank top and a pair of swim trunks, you were surprised at how pale he actually was. Holding his arms tightly around himself, he took small steps toward the hole before glancing in.Ā
āDo I have an option?ā he asked, looking curiously toward the camera men.Ā āCan IĀ ānopeā out?āĀ
āDepends, do you want to be disqualified?ā one of the camera men chuckled.Ā
Jae looked wearily toward you before glancing back down at the icy waters.Ā āDamnit.āĀ
āAlright, on the count of three,ā one of the camera men nodded.Ā
āGo on My Idol they said,ā Jae grumbled, shuffling closer to the hole.Ā āIt would be fun they said.āĀ
āI understand if Iām not worth it,ā you shouted toward Jae.
He grinned, shaking his head toward you.Ā āFrostbite is temporary, love can be forever.ā
āGreasy, but I appreciate the sentiment,ā you laughed.Ā
āYou better!ā he gasped, taking a deep breath before jumping directly into the water.Ā
āThat was easily the worst thing Iāve ever experienced,ā Jae hissed as he shivered beside you in the My Idol SUV.Ā āAnd I was a trainee at JYP for three years.āĀ
āReally? They havenāt made you do worse for your work before?ā you chuckled. Jae nuzzled himself closer to you, setting his chin on your shoulder, therefore putting his face in the direct line of the vents spitting out heat.Ā
āI guess to be fair,ā he sighed.Ā āThe prize at the end of this show is pretty awesome.āĀ
āI donāt know,ā you clucked.Ā āI might take some Korean beef over a self deprecating and mildly dented date.āĀ
āYou describe yourself as mildly dented?ā he laughed.Ā āNo offense or anything but youāre halfway to broken.āĀ
āAw, I love when my date whispers sweet nothings into my ear,ā you grinned, elbowing him in the side. His proximity was making you dizzy as he snuggled into you, using your warmth as an excuse to keep his body close to yours.Ā
āSpeaking of something sweet,ā he hummed.Ā āI believed I was promised a warm treat for my efforts.ā
āRight,ā one of the camera men groaned.Ā āHere.āĀ
Shoving a silver canister toward you, you passed it along to Jae. He unscrewed the lid and sniffed itās contents before beginning to mutter to himself.Ā
āHot chocolate?ā he croaked.Ā āAfter all of that...I get hot chocolate?āĀ
āAnd the opportunity to possibly, maybe go on a second date with this charmer,ā one of the camera men grumbled.Ā āCongratulations, life is unfair.āĀ
You smiled sadly toward him before nodding.Ā āSorry.āĀ
Jae shook his head before pouring some of the brown liquid into the lid of the thermos.Ā āRetract that or you donāt get any hot chocolate.āĀ
āI donāt need any hot chocolate,ā you argued. Sure, some hot chocolate would be nice, but the man just plunged himself into freezing water for the sake of a second date.Ā
āIām sorry,ā he hummed with a smile, pushing the cup into your hands.Ā āYouāll have to speak up next time. I couldnāt hear you.āĀ
You shook your head before looking down at the hot chocolate with a grin. It DID smell good.Ā
āSo, do I get to sign your cast now?ā Jae asked, chewing on his lip.Ā āI did TECHNICALLY catch a fish...even if some choose to disagree.āĀ
āOf course!ā you chuckled, motioning at the camera men for a pen. They handed over a permanent marker, which Jae uncapped with his teeth before staring down carefully at your cast. You lifted the heavy material onto his lap before leaning back with a sigh.Ā
āSo,ā Jae said quietly, his hand hovering above the surface of your leg.Ā āDo I get to answer the question now?āĀ
āIām sorry, what?ā you asked, tilting your head.Ā
āThe question of whether Iām here for my career or not,ā he continued, finally beginning to write.Ā
You remained silent as you thought over his request. Cursing silently at yourself, you let a hiss of air escape through your teeth. You didnāt want to be known forĀ ātheā question anymore than you wanted to be known as the paranoid Season 2 contestant, eager to distance herself from a Season 1 fate.Ā
āYou know what?ā you said calmly, reconciling the subject in your mind before beginning to speak.Ā āNo. I donāt care anymore. If anyone isnāt here for me...strictly me...jokeās on them because I am hella lovable and itāll all be fine in the end.āĀ
Jae looked up in surprise, a large grin on his face.Ā āGood. Iām happy you realized that.āĀ
You grinned as well, proud of yourself as you stare back at him. His expression was proud as well...but seemingly for a different reason...
Oh no.Ā
What exactly was he proud of?Ā
Hesitantly, you glanced down at your cast, taking in the words that were still shiny and wet on itās surface. You couldnāt help but let a laugh ripple through your chest, hardly believing just how ridiculous your date was.Ā
ā#VoteForJae? Really?ā
āWhat?ā he asked innocently, fluttering his lashes.Ā āShould I add, #bestdateever?ā

i have had a multi part in me since the neymar/cavani saga started so i thought i let it out. some things to get out of the way- cavani is a great player; neymar is a greater player; no hate just straight talk. 1. neymar went there(downgrade in league and club) to be the main man & thats exactly why psg bought him. he certainly wasnt tempted to go there to serve uruguays second best striker. idk what cavani thought abt it but likely it didnt escape him that his position as the team's star is
Anonymous said:2. threatened and he decided to put up a fight and show neymar whos the boss(insisting on all fk/pen, not passing to him). he scored many goals last year but didnt lead psg to trophies. i feel bad for him waiting so long to be the star but he is deluded if he thinks psg will be his team and neymar will accept. id bet my ass he wont. neymar is a better player not only in skills but also in leadership drive- e.g. the remontada. i think neymar tried to work with him(passing to him a lot, not asking
Anonymous said:3. the first couple of games for freekicks/penalties) and that made cavani think this is how its gonna be. idt cavani realizes that theres only one way this will end- with neymar winning, for 2 reasons- psg bought him to be the star of the team and moreover neymar is a better player then cavani. both of those are a fact and not an opinion. this embarassing problem now is the management and coachās fault. emery may have other great qualities as a coach but HR mgmt doesnt seem to be among those.
Anonymous said:4. this is very bad for this team. *a divided team will win nothing and make no one shine regardless of the quality.* it was increadibly stupid to not address the pen/fk situation from the start,a huge fail by the coach. he didnt think they will both feel entitled to take them?!? one by virtue of being last yearās taker the other by being brought in specifically to lead the team. its like both the coach and cavani thought that if they ignore the potential problem it will just settle by itself.
Anonymous said:5. i read today that some psg brazilians are against neymar in this case- i dont believe that for a second: even if they are not friends already(which most are), they play together for br and with wc next year its in their best interest to keep him happy and well practiced and comfortable in all aspects, penalties and fk included. if he leads br to the wc they will all walk away champions not just him. dani alves tho is not doing neymar any favors by making it look like a playground squabble.
Anonymous said:6. i also read something about cavani saying to neymar on the first day do you think you are messi- i dont buy that either, it would have been openly hostile and childish and immediately soured their relationship irreparably. cavani cant be that dumb. its just an example how the whole situation has become a circus and everyone (media) is taking advantage to invent things. i cant imagine how neymar would have reacted on and off the pitch but it surely would have shown in the first games.
Anonymous said:7(final, thank god lol). lastly, while i do advocate neymar to be the fk/pen taker and psg as his team and i think cavani must fall in line(maybe ruthless but life often if), i dont applaud neymar spotlighting the issue on the pitch- imo he should not have aired it out for the world to discuss and mock. he should have waited and addressed with the coach after the game. probably even after the first game it happened(st etienne?) and not let it escalate as it did vs lyon.
Oh boyyyyy hahah. I think the most - whats the correct English word for this - organized way of answering this is part by part? haha.Ā
I wrote a long rant a day after the controversy with Cavani. I havent posted it on here - only showed it to one person on here - but some things I wrote you also pointed out.Ā
1. Indeed we all know Neymar went to PSG to be a leader and not play second fiddle to Cavani. He learned from the best and decided it was his time to lead. He wonāt play under a player like Cavani who talent wise/potential doesnāt come close to Ney.Ā
2. Again: I think the main problem is that both players though they would be responsible for the freekicks/penalties. I canāt remember if Cavani also took all the free kicks in the other matches? (for some reason I think no but I have no idea).Ā
Ā¾: The problem here lies with the coach for me. You can say heās a new player in the team he should know his place, but he didnt came to PSG to know his place and work his way to the top. He came to PSG because he IS the top and they want to get to the European top. Emery should have known Cavani wanted to be the no1 still and it was clear what Neymar wants to be. If the little incident - that didnt blow up - against St. Etienne, but even after Lyon he couldnt act like a coach and leader and tell the press they will discuss who is the penalty takesā¦Ā
I like Unai. Donāt get me wrong. What he did with Sevilla was amazing, but at PSG heās getting exposed. I know itās not an easy task if you have two players with this talent act liker this, but step up.Ā
5. Thatās the most dangerous thing with Ney: agreeing with him just to keep him happy. Thatās why I always will find his transfer to PSG dangerous because I think with his personality he also needs someone who tells him the truth from time to time. Who tells him when heās being a brat, when he should stfu and man up. Dani is annoying me since he left Juve the way he did so I wonāt comment on him (since it wonāt be good haha). But itās bs to say Marquinhos is annoyed by him. I see him even more with Marquinhos than with Dani tbh (I love Marquinhos btw. What a sweetheart). Maybe Moura can secretly be annoyed by his arrival since PSG has to get rid of a few players and heās one of them.Ā
6. These full quotes always amaze me and - after this whole PSG transfer sage - I know not to believe them tbh.Ā
7. That would mean Ney would think instead of acting immediately and - with all due respect to my hotheaded munchkin - he doesnāt so that in the moment. Also one of his biggest weakness but also what makes him world class. He doesnāt think when heās on the field and just does what comes to mind. With the ball thatās good without it, itās dangerous and it showed us manny times it can be (in the past also).Ā
To be honest itās weird for me because I dont give af about PSG, but I care about Ney. So I canāt think in only Neyās interest since I know he needs this team to achieve his goals with themā¦ Normally - like most of the other football fans - I would have laughed at all these troubles for a buying team like PSG, but when youāre fave plays for them itās like you wanna laugh, and you laugh, but then you realize Ney is in this mess tooā¦Ā
PSG has a lot of problems to be honest and I donāt know how Bayern is doing - probably amazing - but they have more thing to worry about other than this incident. The fact is also that they are - even with all these buys - play very badly, slow tempo, wrong passes and with some players who donāt even deserve to be on the team. They have much work cut out for them even without this shit. And all eyes will be on them more then ever and most people outside of France hope they will fail.Ā

More minor thoughts and things for the Dragon Mom Game! Its not super developed yet, but Iām thinking more on what sort of gameplay it should have. And can i just say THANK YOU SO MUCH for the positive reponse on this idea!! Iāve never got 8 notes on one of my dumb idea posts before!! Usually at best I just get 2 likes by my close friends, lol
* Iām still having trouble settling on a design for the main character species, Iām even not sure anymore if I want it to be an insectile dragon or just a complete dragon or just a complete insect or a dragon or insect mixed with something entirely else AAAAA And even just amoung the different cool caterpillars i was inspired by, I canāt decide!! * So i definately think Iām gonna go with the idea of a magically evolving species with a big ol skill tree of player choices. Even if it makes no sense! But i mean, dragons can do anything! XD So maybe your various skills and stuff could also give you appearance traits of all different cute and cool insects! BUNNI NEVER HAS TO CHOOSE EVER AGAIN
(post is getting long so more under the cut)
* Relatedly, Iām wondering whether I should give the player a ārespecā option? Cos.. I mean.. it would be even more immersion breaking if you could de-evolve at will, I think. it at least could make some internal sense in-universe if we say that evolving is a natural part of this creatureās life cycle. And it would seem a bit overpowered if they could freely discard and re-evolve whenever they felt like it. You could just defeat any problem you encountered, and not even have to worry about making a skillset that functions well at everything necessary to survive. BUT on the other hand, permenant choices in a skill tree with a lot of options can be a big problem depending on how much the player gets to know about each option beforehand, yknow? It sucks when you play a game and you find out you have to start all over when you;āre six hours into it, cos you somehow screwed yourself over with one bad choice and had NO WARNING. Iāve been recently playing the (very fun!) remake of Sonny for steam, and in that game every boss is so wildly different that you often have to respec your entire build to find a way to beat them. Which works well with how its basically a giant boss rush game where grinding is optional and respeccing is available whenever you want for a small amount of ingame currency. The no-respecs achievement is possibly the most difficult one! So yeah, Iām kinda worried Iād accidentally create a game like that, even though this genre doesnāt work as well with that level of difficulty. But also infinate respecs donāt work for this genre either... So Iām thinking maybe respeccing WOULD be possible, but it would be in a very limited quantity and youād have to go through some hidden sidequest to get it. Maybe thereās one special plant that causes these dragons to reset to their basic state? And maybe it could have a cost, like it makes them very sick so you sleep through like a week or something. Or your stats are lowered for a few days, or your overall lifespan is decreased? Iāll have to think more about balancing it well!
* Iāve been thinking more and the cache-based gameplay could really be really cool as the primary form of challenge in the early stages. Your biggest obstacle is knowing that food and materials can expire, and that your ability to carry things is limited, and that you only have a certain amount of time each day to go around and then find your way back to a safe shelter to sleep. At first you might be quite desperate, eating everything you find as soon as you find it, and only being able to venture out a little way away from your nest. But then you start building cache locations and temporary shelters around the world, allowing you to move further and even be able to slowly carry some rare distant item back all the way to your main nest. The epic three week quest to move a single log! Being dragonmom is suffering! XD But it could be really rewarding to see that early difficulty be flushed down the toilet as you develop your skills, opening up the world and presenting new challenges to replace it! * And there could even maybe be multiple ways to solve the problem! This could be the first opportunity to make the choice between being a herbivore or carnivore, carnivore would be adapting more towards the āeat it now, constantly be searching for new foodā play style. Youād be stuck living within that limitation forever, escaping it just through becoming way better at dealing with it. You get a food source thatās basically everywhere, and gives you more nutrition, you turn the terrifying enemy predators into nosh and get to feel the ultimate catharsis of dooooom~! And you can become powerful enough to carry more stuff, and to affect the environment more and create shortcuts, and you need to worry less about finding a perfect shelter cos you have less enemies and youāre more hardy against the weather.
* Thoughts about the basic animal language system! Iām wondering about what sort of symbols it could use? Like, maybe it could just be intuitive pics of items and lil stick figure dragons and stuff. Hereās a few examples of default rpgmaker MV icons:
(tho these were some of the only ones useful for a dragon game so Iāll have to make my own) Alternatively, they could be like actual runes or heiroglyphs or made up fantasy letters. I tried googling around for something similar from a game, and all I could find was this thing thats apparantly from Spyro Skylanders? The disadvantage of that system is that itād be less instantly intuitive what symbol means what. But that might even work to its advantage, cos it encourages the player to get started memorizing all the symbols instead of being complacent that everything will always be obvious. I wanna ease them into the puzzles, but I still do want there to be puzzles, yknow? i just think it would be a very cool concept! Oh, and of course having it look like a real language makes it feel like a real language. Woo! But maybe it could put more emphasis on the unusual nature of the language if its more pictoral? I DUNNO!! Iām bad at choices!! Iāll just have to work hard to make some endearing lil dragon doodles of what everything looks like to them. Thats the best compromise!
* oh!! A cool and unusual idea for one of the evolution skill branches!! Maybe you could take deliberate penalty devolutions? Maybe picking one of them gives you extra skill points to spend on others, or maybe its like.. sacrificing the ability to learn a new skill in favour of some additional stat boosts instead. And maybe even certain penalty evolutions could lead off into a longer tree of penalties with an unexpected bonus at the end! i was thinking a good one of these could be the ability to lose your sight. It could lead to boosters to all your other senses, and even the ability to eventually gain some sort of complicated telepathy sense thatās even better than eyes! Gotta put up with a while of waiting though. oh, and cos youāāre like a buggy dragon thing, maybe eye evolution would be Lots! Evolved eye! evolved eye! evolved eye! evolved eye! next evolution: eye!! achievement unlocked: spider. Oh, and actually the placement and type of eyes could adjust depending on what other evolution route youāre on! Thats be a cute bit of aesthetic. or maybe you could just choose the eyes regardless of what bug you are, and make the google eyed moth of your dreams~! It could be more tricky to make a fully customizeable character model though, rather than just a bunch of regular bugs. I mean, this is gonna be a pixelart game, its not like Spore with its big ol animation engine for all kinds of crazy leg combinations.. RANDOM THOUGHT! a dragon with eyes all down the sides of its body would be mega scary. maybe that could be part of the herbivore side evolutions? Realistically, scary appearances are more common for non-scary animals that evolve them to frighten off predators. Lots of caterpillars are actually kinda body horror disturbing looking, I cant stop being scared by the one with the huge swollen head with an optical illusion to look like a snake. It even manages to scare the predators of the predators of its predators! O_O Also actually having eyes all over your body instead of just markings would probably be really useful for spotting all those enemies. Spooky baby is the biggest fraidy cat ever!
* If I go with the idea of you gathering more children as the game goes on, then it could be cool to have all sorts of different sidequests to find the different eggs. Like maybe you canāt adopt the egg of a snow dragon unless you relocate your nest to a colder area where it could grow up healthy. Tho itād suck if the game was forever limited that way and you had to leave your kids alone in various areas around the world or else they Die. So maybe its just for while the kid is a newborn, or maybe its that you have to nurse the egg in a certain environment in order to hatch it. iām gonna say for the sake of gameplay conveinience that these magical dragons can just go into stasis in their eggs and survive forever, only hatching when they get their daily dose of mom hugs. Cos it would kinda suck if you had to make the decision IMMEDIATELY when you find an egg, especially if the eggs required certain things in order to be hatched. It would be super tragic to find this baby struggling to live and then you have to watch the egg go cold and die just cos you didnāt progress your stats fast enough. Magic eternal eggs is the best solution! Actually, maybe that could even be a good plot for a super rare egg you could unlock! You could find an ancient dragon species that was thought long extinct, and then get to raise a cute lil fossil son. Could be funny if theyāre like an ancient megafauna version of your species! āMy son iz larj but i luv heemā He could carry the rest of his siblings around :3 Oh and maybe one of then could actually be an older child that you adopted after you found it cold and shivering next to its dead mother. It could be after you defeat some big boss, and find out that you were too late to save this poor fellow dragomom :( So then maybe that kid would start off more distrusting and disobedient at first, but to make up for it theyāre already a fairly high level with some skills already. And maybe your choice of name for them would be limited at first, and then you can rename them properly once you finally win them over. You only get to choose one symbol at first, the kid is automatically named like.. Other [name]. Otherleaf, my smol untrusting beb!
* A SUPER SAD POSSIBLE IDEA Maybe thereās a small chance of finding the ghost of your kids when they die? There could be some sort of super mysterious and spiritual part of the forest that you can explore later on in the game, and thereās a random event to find a little baby shade in the fog that seems to remember you. And you can bring them home and its just like they never died, except they look a little spooky and they can only appear when the sun goes down. So you might wanna evolve the nocturnal skill so you can be with them. oh, and maybe when you get them back their name would change? Adds or replaces part of the symbols. they become Empty-[name]. And they can never grow up :( But still, imagine this lil ghost puff all happily curled up in a big hug pile with all their siblings, after so long wandering lost and alone!

Episode 2 -Ā "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 donāt all i have is a weird rock and idk what itās for but anyway iām fine with jaiden going but the thing is that as soon as jaiden goes.. i feel like iām the next one goneĀ
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 āo itās the hero tribe letās all be happy and teamwork and good nessā and junk like that. Like no. Iām on the hero tribe cuz Iām a hero to myself. This is survivor and Iām not afraid to cut throats and neither are any of them. I see no need to be fake with this pureness junk.Ā
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 Ā 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. Iām still not over him getting me out from yesterdayĀ
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 Iām dead.Ā
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 jaidenās 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.Ā
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.Ā
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 !!Ā
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 bagā¦ 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, āCongratulations. Someone from the other tribe has elected to gift you the power of safety. You are now in possession of the SUPER IDOL.ā [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 tonightās 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!Ā
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 Ā 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 Ā 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. Iām starting to really like Kelsey. Sheās very nice and she cheered me up on a bad day a couple days ago so Iām 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 mightāve gotten it. Anyways, Iām so happy to have an idol! It makes me feel so much safer.Ā
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!Ā
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 Ā think id be safe? still not in any alliances tho so scary. plus idol searching is hard. Ā I hope there is drama with Ā 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 outĀ
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!**

United vs Brighton, 12/02/2020
Interesting that United appear to have played this game without a RB š (I jest)
Anyway, the format of this one is gonna be a little different cause honestly, not much happened. And Iām kinda sick of repeating myself every game. This is gonna be mostly just thoughts, and ranting, so buckle up.
- Thought Ross started decently, she worsened as the game went on, and should have been subbed off at halftime I think. (Lil moment of appreciation for Caseyās āwell done Jane!ā bc same, even tho mine was a lot more sarcastic). I think she needs to grab some bench and get comfortable there though.
- Amy and Martha.... I just. I have very little words. The jogging sends me, the back passes send me, Amyās long passes need to stop (or at least stop being overhit) before I have an aneurysm, Martha gives my anxiety anxiety. I have to say I was deceased at Martha (of all people) giving Amy instructions/advice early in the first half, like sis she does your job better than you do 90% of the time lmao. (Obvs idk what she actually said to her but my point still stands). Anyway, neither of them had a particularly great night, I canāt decide who was worse but I do think that they are both treading on thin ice when Abbie comes back - Amy more so maybe because apparently nothing will make Casey bench Martha š© I did like Amyās boots tho. Thatās not really relevant, I just thought Iād share. (Martha also gets a silver star bc of that impeccable tackle towards the end of the 1st half, I donāt have it in me to give her a gold one lmao)
- I think United started the game better, and were the stronger team - definitely in the first half, but Brighton just somehow managed to smother everything. Like barely anything got through that midfield. Brightonās goal I think ultimately came down to a defensive mistake, I have no idea who left their man (woman?) open in the box tho. Iāll have to watch that back.
- Those backpasses have to stop. Find a new trick girls. Now. (This needed a point of its own just to hammer it home. I am SICK of watching that ball go backwards.)
- I think Smith was the best out of that back line tonight, girl was electric all down the left. (Youāll note almost nothing offensive came down the right).
- Pace of Galton and Hanson was missed massively - again. I desperately hope theyāre not out for much longer (and that their respective injuries arenāt that serious) cause weāre really gonna need them back for the run in to 4th, especially with the build up of postponed fixtures.
- The corners still need a little work, but the free kicks have improved thank you Katie š Amy also appears to be our main aerial threat? I would have assumed it would be Millie, considering sheās so tall, but the ball seems to be fired towards Amy if she goes up for the corner... interesting.
- Zelem was off tonight too, unusually sloppy and sometimes it looked like her head just wasnāt in it?
- Iām also just ignoring that blatant penalty that was missed because honestly itās just not worth the trauma itāll inflict on me lmao. I am getting incredibly tired of incompetent refs though. A lot of foul calls missed (going against Brighton) tonight.
Foreal tho, this was the worst United game Iāve seen in a long time. Even the Bristol defeat was better cause at least there were some amount of chances created. Nearly everyone was out position at some point, some were started out of position, there was pretty much zero pace going forward, the movement off the ball was shocking, defence and passing was sloppy as hell. Idk whether the pitch and the rain had anything to do with that, but it was hella uncomfortable to watch. I actually felt like I was watching the men at points - the entire performance was listless and uninspiring. The rhythm (when it was there) was way off, and it was just overall way below par from what weāve come to see and expect from this team. I thought it was pretty stale viewing actually.
The girls have been off the ball a little bit since Christmas, but I canāt understand how this is the same side who pushed Chelsea so close last week? Somethingās off. Like, one or two off days is understable, but for at least 8 of them to be so off at once... Idk what wasnāt clicking... whether it was the pitch, or if theyāre just physically and mentally drained from last week. I just expected a little more against a side weāve beaten so comfortably in the past - especially as we canāt really afford to be dropping anymore unnecessary points.
My highlights include (and are pretty much limited to) Casey absolutely going OFF on the sideline, āWAKEY WAKEEEEYā was my moment of the game. Casey for POTM perhaps? None of the other girls deserve it.
(Sidenote: sometimes I feel like I should just upload the handwritten notes for these cause theyāre honestly so much funnier, but no one would be able to read them šŖ)
As always, these are just my personal thoughts and opinions - feel free to disagree and whatever. āš½
