(Mind you, I'm not a Jake hater, I'm mostly neutral on him and I think he has some cool moments here and there, but I am a "The season is literally just barely 2 episodes in, so let's chill the fuck down" kind of person, alas this post.)
You know what's the real difference between Jake and Spencer based on what we have up till now? The fact that if Jake was in the same situation as Spencer was in the first episode (being criticized and failing the challenge), he would have simply gotten angry at the person talking, and full stop (which is pretty much what happened with Ally in All Stars, I think).
Meanwhile, Spencer did get angry, but then he recognized his mistake and realized that Jade is a good ally, and even apologized. All of this, in the first episode, not after a whole season and a half of character development. And if he did It for strategy just to betray her later on? Even more of a difference between the two!
Now, will he be part of the main gay couple of the season? From what we've seen, certainly, but we literally don't know anything yet about how it'll turn out, so can we please wait for the whole season to be out before either demonizing or ascending Spencer and Diego to holyness?
Please.

I just wanna live in a world where Tom is canonically autistic and his entire arc in All Stars would have been to learn that yes, you can unmask and some people will still like you for who you are. Maybe he did work on himself after season 1, maybe he got a diagnosis as an adult after feeling weird and out of place his entire life. It would have been fun to see him unmask, both literally and metaphorically. I don't know if I would have made him a cop tho, but that's on me. I think he would do much more good as a park ranger or something. He always loved nature, but befriending Gabby is what made him realize his true potential. Tree huggers besties for the win
I think it would have been lovely to see an autistic adult connecting with others despise his inner struggles and showing his strenghts (making plans, great memory, a natural leader, literal body strenght) as much as flaws (scared to show his real emotions, overstimulation, clumsiness and not fully understanding social clues).
Of course Tom wouldn't have ghosted Jake for two years, but maybe he's been acting distant on text/video-calls for some time now. Oh boy if I hc him as scared af of Jake discovering his real self. He's so convinced that Jake fell in love with his "normal" version and now whatever he actually is now- is not worthy of his love. Or maybe he thinks that Jake would treat him differently if he discovered his diagnosis. I could see Tom trying to mask too much around him, to the point that even Jake can tell he's hiding something from him. Maybe I would have kept the silly Jake/Tom/Aiden drama for two episodes, because Jake would have still jumped to the worst conclusion first. But James isn't booted first for this reason, dear god. Jake would grow suspicious of Aiden after some time, because Tom doesn't bound with Aiden THAT fast to the point of being an enemy in Jake's eyes in a single day. Let some episodes pass, let this drama being a background issue in the big schemes of things, until Jake sees Aiden and Tom holding hands and cuddling or something from afar. It does look very suspicious when your maybe-boyfriend-maybe-not acts weird around you and gets intimate with someone else. Now that's when Jake acts like he did in the original series, let's say around the musical episode. Tom and Aiden do NOT kiss on stage, anyway. But he gets reminded of what he saw in the woods earlier and that memory haunts him. But you know what? Jake decides to do better than his past self and tries to confront Aiden, first. He can't stand traitors, but since Tom keeps avoiding him, what else is there to do? Aiden, of course, acts like a mature person and doesn't out Tom to Jake directly. But he does says that what Jake saw earlier was Tom feeling so overwealmed that he couldn't even breath properly and he needed someone to calm him down. He tells Jake that Tom is scared of being treated like a big baby and doesn't want to show that to anyone else- besides himself. Why is that? Aiden says that he "gets it". He could be neurodivergent himself, or maybe James is or maybe he's got a close relative or friend who is. He just gets it, but Jake doesn't get what "it" is.
AIDEN: "Why don't you ask him for yourself?"
JAKE: "TSK! As if, he keeps avoiding me and acts like a weirdo whenever I want to talk"
AIDEN: "Then don't. Be there for him without talking. You'd be surprised how much that helps him"
Aand that's how this silly drama ends and Tom and Jake finally sort things out and you get to see their relationship blossom again. If Aiden-Tom-Jake make it to the merge, they'd be a cool alliance until something happens and one of them gets eventually voted out.
THIS IS SO GOOD???? HELLO this ask single-handedly make me like tomjake like. 2% like it. that is CRAZY the power that you hold
i think this would be even better if aiden himself (or james as you said) was also autistic, and yk what, pairing this with some other anons that have said this, make jake also have BPD and that makes tomjake bond even more. they're a gay4gay nd4nd couple and i feel like that would be such a better exploration of their relationship and characters than the utter bullshit we got
this is genuinely one of my favorite asks i have ever gotten on this page. thank you so much for this

(Reminder that you need to click the link that's beneath the screenshot.)
Already read the translation. Hopefully you can too because it's hilarious!
agreed, the three of them (and Jake as well) should be friends. although, i don't know if Drew really has any bullshit for Dan to put up with? he seems like a pretty chill guy. really, it's more Dan and Drew having to try to talk Tom out of whatever trouble he's gotten into now, yet Tom still following his heart and making mistakes constantly.
i'm also going to combine some more of the tweet asks below the cut!
Tumblr media
This is actually pretty cute ngl. (saying as someone who doesn't particularly care for aleriya either way (though I can see the appeal/aesthetic))
ooh, they look good in red! maybe it should've been the red team instead of the yellow team. well, then we'd have to put Grett and Yul in red as well. maybe not.
this artist did a great job of capturing all of the detail in the costumes, and i like the kinda painterly brush they used. even though i don't ship aleriya either, they totally look like they'd be the romantic leads of a kids' picture book.
Tumblr media
Aww~ :)
stop staring at me with them big ol' eyes-- (/j)
very cute! i like the color palette. sucks that this baby already has to wear glasses, though. imagine your eyesight being so terrible that you have to wear glasses before you can even read.
(or, maybe they're Cheryll's glasses. that would be precious.)
Tumblr media
Love the redraw! :)
Aiden looks so over it, lol. as if you wouldn't be doing the exact same thing if James was out there doing cartwheels.
the artist did a good job reinterpreting the pose with the more realistic proportions of their style. maybe i should try doing some Disventure Camp pose redraws someday; that could be fun. although, i'd wager that the next DC thing that i draw will probably relate to season 4, though i can't say that for sure.
Tumblr media
AWWWW!!!! X3 Really hoping that we get, at the very least a 5 second cameo of Drew in TomJake, since they all live in Canada. I need it. I miss my baby. He was gone too soon. ;-; I won't lie, I personally do not care for Jake and Tom getting a spinoff story, AT ALL. But I might end up watching it anyway, for the extra lore. And who knows, if it gets enough views and does well enough in the community, it *might* convince Jared and Robert to make spinoffs for other characters. Like Drew. Or Ashley. Or Alec (which is what I'm hoping most for if you could n't already tell).
the pose sort of reminds me of a polaroid that they would show in the credits of the movie to reassure that everyone is having a great time after the plot is over. actually, i guess it has similar vibes to the canon instagram post of Ellie and Tess graduating, so maybe that's where i got that idea, lol.
including Drew as a background gag would honestly be a brilliant idea. like, Jake runs off somewhere, and in the background, there's just Drew holding up a piece of paper that says "???". i have no clue where in Canada Drew and Tom/Jake/Miriam live-- the country is quite large, so it could be an equivalent distance to Ashley living in Texas and Ellie/Tess living in New York-- but given that Ellie will be in the series, someone is travelling somewhere! so it's definitely possible.
i'm pretty neutral on the TomJake series, mostly because i don't know what it's going to be about. in a best case scenario, it's a delayed wrap-up to All Stars, further exploring some of the plot threads that weren't fully developed leading up to and after Riya's win. in a worst case scenario, it's a disjointed collection of mildly confusing fanservice, a la "Derek and Trevor accidentally kiss in the shower." (i actually liked that episode as a whole, but man was that moment in particular cringe.) i'm definitely going to watch it just so that i know what's up, but i do feel like they probably could have better used this time elsewhere (more staff stories, official season epilogue, start s4 faster).
but, Sapphire, if they did an Ashley, Drew, or Alec spinoff, how would they lure people in by putting gay people in the thumbnail??? (/s) mostly kidding, but i'm sure it is true that they were willing to bank on a TomJake series because they knew that those popular characters would get the clicks. if we got another spinoff, it'd probably be jaiden-centric, lmao.
of course, Ashley and especially Alec are also pretty popular, so it's not outside of the realm of possibility! an Alec series would definitely good, to clarify his relationship with Fiore, learn a bit more about his family, and perhaps touch on what Riya's up to after the show. an Ashley show i fear would lack any conflict (because she slays at life so hard), but maybe we could learn a bit about her family too.
Tumblr media
They would make a neat duo ngl. If Dan ever made it to All-Stars that is. 😅 I actually remember one Ally greeting where she said she thought Dan was a pretty cool/nice guy and how unfair it was the way Gabby cheated him in eliminations, or something along those lines. I can try to find it later.
oh, these two could definitely make a nerd alliance. throw in Alec and Lake and you'll have brains that brawn and beauty should definitely watch out for.
are Ally, Dan, and Alec the only (main) characters thus far to wear glasses? oh, i guess there's Oliver too. typecast fr.
Tumblr media
Enjoy this random art of Lill leading a family of ducks
so cute!!!!! i love the ducks' little hats and scarves. the purple team deserved an animal mascot. i bet Ashley would love to pet these little guys as well :)
Tumblr media
Add Dan, Drew & Tess and this book club is complete! 😁
"Disventure HS" intrigues me. is this an AU where they're all students in high school? even if Alec was a senior and Fiore was a freshman, having them that close in age would be cursed as hell. hopefully Alec is just the literal librarian. maybe it's "bring your niece figure to work day".
Ellie/Alec/Fiore/Lake/Dan/Drew/Tess would be a really interesting tribe to start with. i wonder who would get voted out first?
Tumblr media
Hm. Interesting chart. The one I agree most with is that I definitely would've liked to see an interaction between Tess and Alec. Those two do have quite a few things in common (quiet, reserved/introverted, level headed, fairly intelligent, logical, lone wolves who like to read, etc.) so I'm sure they would've clicked well with each other. Eh, who knows? Maybe there was some interaction at the motel off camera. Though that is mostly just wishful thinking, since I highly doubt either of them would ever see a reason to talk to the other with how little they know about each other, being from separate seasons and all.
yeah, and Alec was in the Motel for a pretty short amount of time (2 episodes, maybe like 5 days). canonically, he probably spent a lot of that time talking to Fiore and then Connor. Perhaps Ellie and Grett as well.
god knows Alec could use a therapist friend, though. maybe if people started following each other online, they could wind up chatting with each other then! or, i'm sure Alec would read Lake's book someday, so he could at least see her illustrations then.
i think you can probably guess which box i agree with most. (it's the favorite friendship one)
thanks for sharing all of these tweets with me!

Okay so I have hyper specific thoughts on Tom's background and why he operates the way he does when it comes to his relationship with trusting the government and the agency he's attached to. And also a general guess at why he became a cop. This is mostly based on personal interpretation as well as some bits we've seen in canon but I haven't seen ALL of the first episode of the tomjake series so this might change.
Putting it under a cut in case people don’t want to see this rant
Tom— in terms of canon Tom— is a government dog. Like he clearly trained his whole life to be a spy, possibly grew up in an environment that was DELIGHTED to help him considering he was 26 in season 1 and on missions. Which might not be THAT young technically, but going out into the field? Where he could die? This either implies he’s extremely physically capable (which he is in terms of physicality and training), he was raised for it since a very young age, or he’s a prodigy at whatever he was. And considering how socially inept and trusting he tends to be I’ll bet it’s something along the lines of all three. Well trained dog wasn’t properly socialized at a young age.
Speaking of missions, ALL THAT happened to him on his FIRST one. He was a YOUNG MAN. And he clearly got deeply physically scarred and traumatized and instead of trying to distance himself or ask for time off he not only went right back to the agency but blamed himself entirely for what happened and tried to MAKE UP FOR HIS FAILURE. And not, oh, you know, the fault of sending someone out who was not prepared to be singled out and tortured to the point of EXTREME physical scarring. He blamed himself, and he's spending his time in season 1 apparently hunting down the guy who is a direct source for a lot of his trauma. On a reality tv show where he is so so deeply not trained obviously to interact with people. He's not designed for that. And then he fails.
Then he gets fired, has a breakdown, and he gets a job offered by the one occupation that would even come close to mimicking the thing he’s literally spent his whole life working towards after he maybe kind of gets some unofficial closure? Kind of. He's still fired, and so he goes to the Next Best Thing. Which is a cop.
He’s just raised in an environment that primes him to overly trust people in power like that! And he became a cop because he wasn’t built for anything else! He believes that Stopping Bad Guys is the way he can help people! And he STILL trusts the people who threw him into this enough to go right back to a system this corrupt! Anyway I'm gonna make a reblog specifically for the MI au spin on this whole mess. which is even more messed up but it's way less applicable to canon Tom.

I feel like headcanoning Tom as character that age regresses is actually pretty realistic for him, due to stuff he says/does throughout the show. As well as his backstory and the amount of trauma he has, I think it would make sense for him to use age regression as a way to cope with everything he’s gone through.
So just because I can, I’m going to list off some of my main reasons to why I personally hc Tom as an age regressor.
•Growing up, he didn’t have much time to actually be a kid, due to him and his family having to be so secretive and moving around a lot. His father was also abusive to both him and his mother, which he witnessed throughout his childhood.
•He’s also very traumatized from his first spy mission where he was captured and tortured, so regressing back to an earlier age could definitely be something that helps comfort him whenever he gets reminded of this trauma. It could also be something that happens completely involuntary, out of fear and panic when he gets reminded as well.
•In the 2nd episode of the TomJake mini series, he tells Gabby about how much fun he’s having with her and how nice it is to “feel like a kid again”and what’s more age regressor coded than that??? (He is very childish in said episode as well, like more than usual.)
•When he has a nightmare in the third episode of TomJake and he calls out for his mother because he’s scared.
•He seems to act more childish around people he’s comfortable with, specifically Gabby. In my opinion, I feel like Gabby’s energetic and carefree personality makes Tom more comfortable to be able to show that side of him and that’s why he acts the way he does around her.
Uhhh idk if this makes sense but these are some my personal reasons to why I headcanon Tom as an age regressor.
I feel like he mostly regresses around 5-13, ages between 10-13 always being involuntarily and can be a bit hard to notice when it actually happens. But he also does regress back to toddler and baby ages as a comfort and safety thing. Though he only goes that young around people he’s super comfortable with.
Another thing I hc is that Tom’s mother, Jackie, is fully aware and supportive of his regression. She was the first person to know, and Tom had mentioned it to her almost immediately once he started doing it. She takes care of him when he’s regressed whenever she can, which she does really enjoy doing. She just loves seeing him happy and actually being able to experience childhood.
Idk idk. I just wanted to ramble about regressor Tom since I don’t get a ton of requests for him. He’s just a little guy who loves playing with action figures, reading comic books, and watching cartoons.

One thing that I think is really funny is the fact that I don't know ANY human being from the DC fandom is watching, talking or giving a f Abt the tomjake series
Like, as I can remember the episodes DON'T EVEN PASS 10 HUNDRED VIEWS ✋💀
Tumblr media
Actually ☝️🤓
The first chapter premieres next Saturday
And it's true, no one is talking about the series XD
I'll just watch episode 2 for the Tom and Gabby Camp Tipiskaw subplot, and episode 4 for Shawn

My first decree of my disventure camp au:
Tomjake/Jam won't be in a romantic relationship along with Jaiden
There are reasons for this, I'm not (fully) shading the og series, but these ships feel tiresome and repeat the same ship with a different font. Jam didn't feel like an actual 'strangers to friends to lovers' situation. The very base of their entire relationship is that the two of them found each other attractive.
So, for my au, Jake and Tom ended up being good friends in season 1 that work it out after the reveal, and after the show till 7 months before all stars, Tom ghosted Jake for some reason (reasons I'll explain in a separate post, hint hint) so Jake was worried for Tom. When he heard Tom was also a part of the All Stars season, Jake took it as a chance to figure out why Tom is ghosting him and if he can help.
Now the reason why I don't like Jaiden. Ep 2 plays a huge part in my dislike, but like I said earlier about how Jam and Jaiden are basically the same people in different fonts and styles.
James is an interesting character along with Aiden, and I adored their dynamic in season 2 (and I pray that my friend would never find this, but Jaiden should've stayed friends) so the only difference with James and Aiden's relationship is the ep 2 scene (that I despise so much, it reminds me of the MLB statue scene) and that they stay friends as well and they travel the world with Lake after James wins season 2.
Apologies to both Jam and Jaiden shippers, I'm not a huge fan like ya'll.

cleaning out my ask box
SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN WAITING ON ME TO ANSWER THEIR ASKS... I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY!!! but now that i have the time, i'm going to clear everything out now!
Tumblr media
asks under the cut!
i'm gonna put requests in another post but that one might take a little longer, cause i'm going on a vacation next week and won't be drawing a lot... stay tuned (and feel free to send more requests/asks in the meantime!)
Tumblr media
the link included
@sapphireroses282
episode 17 was such... a ride oh my god. as much as i love riya i was pretty surprised that they had her not only stoop so low but double down!??!?! crazy. she's still in my top 5 DC characters because i think this adds pretty interestingly to her existing character (esp with what's happened since then in episode 18) but. MAN. CONNOR CAN'T CATCH A BREAK HUH!
i've seen a couple alec greetings about his reactions to riya's actions and it's clear to me he no longer has any positive feelings towards her LOL. i guess we'll see if there's more about that in the motel ep!
Tumblr media
i saw alec as bisexual for most of the series but something about the love triangle with him and connor and riya and the way he mentioned riya making him feel like he was looking into a mirror of his worst flaws made me like wow. maybe he never liked her at all and only wanted someone he could relate to. maybe he felt that way with his wife. ooh. does... does alec like women? and it spiraled from there LMFAO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i drew this a couple weeks ago, but i have more dahlice (and EE in general) coming soon! some of my recent work on the show has been inspiring me a lot let's just say that heh...
Tumblr media
FUNNY THAT YOU SAY THIS ANON (also thank you i love drawing aleconnor so this is high praise) BECAUSE I HAVE SOOOO MANY IDEAS. i want to draw connor wanting to catch up with tom and jake so he's like lets go on a double date yayyy and tomjake are like "oh you're dating someone? it's not riya is it" and connor is like "God no" and then he shows up and its alec JUP0GB0S-DPUG0JDERG0F
Tumblr media
So . fun fact. i have horrible horrible secondhand embarrassment when it comes to watching TV and movies to the point i have to physically leave the room or be far away from the screen or cover my ears when embarrassing scenes are happening. needless to say i was pacing my house during that episode. Now i look upon it fondly though. Throw it back connor

okay, I just finished watching the finale, so here are all my thoughts plus little rewrites. also Trevor is officially transfem in my brain so she's Tatyana now, idk I don't make the rules.
Tomjake: I dunno I still don't like the ship nearly as much as I did when i first watched dvsc, I think it's got far too much screen time and precedence over the series. but it does make sense for their spinoff, and honestly, their closing arc wasn't terrible. as always, found it overly rushed, but with the emotions I guess it could make sense...idk if anything I'd just slowburn that shit. make it worth watching!!
Tom (Himself): I'm sorry but when the hell did he get WATERBOARDED? this show I swear to god...that isn't slapstick comedy ONC 😭💀 that's some serious shit why hasn't it come up at ALL?! like come on!! I would give Tom some discomfort around water, and at least a small discussion about it, ffs
Ally: idk if this is a rewrite but "you can have your yaoi moment later" is on par with "thank you I'm going there" and I love it. she needs more one liners
Gabellie: RAAAAHHH let's go lesbians!! sad Gabby got bit by the tiger but the screen time they get is everything to me, they needed more of this and I would so add that if I could
Tatyana and Emily: as always I love her, she's so silly to me and very dear to my heart. I love that she's still kind to Emily but also calls her out on her shit. kinda building on what I've talked about with Emily but I'd love to have Tatyana be her voice of reason when she's living in this revenge and rage filled part of her mind. in a rewrite I think I would definitely have Tatyana talk Emily down before the scorpions so she isn't hurt, and Tatyana quits, Emily doesn't go to prison, Emilyana is endgame and I'm happy <3
Riya: not pleased she won, I doubt most people are. but unfortunately it's probably the most satisfying end to her arc. I like that even Krystal isn't happy with her winning, and Connor finally is done with her. the only thing I'd change is that Eesha doesn't call her, so she really has no one except her fame.
Alec and Fiore: AAAAA I love them so much, Fiore caring about him, Alec finally adopting her, the bus scene and him carrying her, this is literally my lifeblood and my soul rn. I wouldn't change a damn thing, it's amazing <333
Krystal/Other Staff: I love the way her arc ends with deciding to change the way she's gonna do things, quitting DSVC and letting in new hosts. another very satisfying end for me honestly. if I had anything to nitpick, for the scene on the plane, I'd put her in the dress she's wearing in the S2 finale, just because it's pretty and I think it helps her come full circle as a character, plus it suits the trip to Cancun!
The End Photos: I also love that, love seeing Lill and Nick a bit, all the cute little end story pieces for the characters. I'd just add more honestly, I love the idea!!
y'all should see the notes I took while watching this finale honestly, I was going feral– I kept screeching and talking out loud 💀
- 🎃
love all your thoughts pumpkin anon, emilyana is real to us and we all love fiore and alec. also ur not alone in screeching and talking to yourself cuz i genuinely had to repress a scream at all those fiore & alec scenes. i love you grumpy middle aged man adopting a quirky little girl trope

I’m a week late to the party but OH MY GOD THE DC4 PREMIERE WAS FUCKING AMAZING
(Reaction’s under the cut as always)
• An abandoned Carnival is honestly an AMAZING setting for a reality show lets be real
• ofc this place has harsh weather and all that shit. also poor bird ;-;
• TREVEKKKKKK
• WAIT THEIR COTTON CANDY’S THE SAME COLOR AS THE TEAMS
• Also Derek & Trevor as a whole honestly hit different once you find out they’re based off of DC’s co-creators, who are also married to each other. They really created self-inserts of themselves, made them the hosts of the series, and decided “yo we should make them a couple lol”. im not complaining btw, I think it’s rlly cute :D
• THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER BEFORE HOLDING HANDS AND MOVED CLOSER TO EACHOTHER OMG
• INTRO TIMEEEEEEE
• YOOOOOOOOO THE CONTESTANTS ALL LOOK SO GOOD AND INTRIGUING
• “Men often underestimate me. They think I’m all beauty and no brains, but when you have to fight this “male-dominated world”, you tend to learn a few tricks” QUEEN SHIT, I LOVE HOW THIS IS THE FIRST LINE WE GET FROM ANY CONTESTANT THIS SEASON
• I can’t take Ted’s monologue seriously considering how many L’s he took this episode lol
• I’m gonna be so hyped for anytime Hannah & Tristan appear on screen and there’s nothing y’all can do to stop me I LOVE THEM SM
• “People have a bad impression of actors on this show. I’m here to prove that Hollywood doesn’t turn you evil, and I’ll win the right way.” YEA YOU GO IVY
• “I don’t look diabolical. I look like the bloody nerd you shove in lockers.” You’re right Spencer lol. Also you’re totally gonna crush on Diego so hard this season, trust me bro
• Trevek casually holding hands throughout the episode implies that everyone knows they’re a couple and everyone’s completely chill with that. Them casually being a background relationship amongst all the chaos (pun intended) is honestly a great direction imo
• Derek calling this season a fresh start honestly feels like he’s talking to the viewers, which is understandable after having the OG casts from season 1 & 2 get their endings during the All Stars finale & the TomJake spinoff. I miss them sm ;-;
• The first challenge is making a shelter? What is this Pahkitew Island? /j
• Idk if anyone else caught this detail, but when Trevor threw the maps towards the contestants, Derek moved his head a little bit. That’s nice :D
• LOGAN’S A DORK, I LOVE HIM
• IF ALESSIO ENDS UP BEING FIRST BOOT YOU WILL SEE ME ON THE NEWS
Edit: god fucking damnit
• Also him observing a snail, only to crush it to see the color it creates is a mood. Everyone backing away from him afterwards is also funny as hell lol
• “Hi there! I’m Isabel. Nice to meet you :D” “Okay, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s a nun doing out here?” Ted said what the fandom was thinking when the cast photo dropped lmao
• Also their dynamic is already amazing. “His words won’t help us here, sister” is genuinely one of my favourite quotes from this episode
• Oooooo more looks into the contestants personal lives. I dig it >:D
• Idk why, but Richard fainting as blue team arrived to their campground was kinda hilarious to me
• ANARISSA INTERACTION WHO CHEERED
• “Military?” “Hopefully. You?” “Farthest from it. Model.” “Obviously. You’re very pretty.” I NEED TO BE SEDATED BRO
• “Whenever someone tells me not to do something, it means they’re usually keeping it for themselves.” Hard cut to Ted taking an L after ignoring Marissa’s warning
• Logan’s so pure omg. His bond with Richard’s rlly cute and I know damn well the fandom (myself included) is gonna BAWL when one of them ends up getting eliminated
• NATALIA’S SO STRONG WTF. QUEEN SHIT
• “I’ve noticed our team has more women than men.” “Ugh, thank god right?” mood
• Damn we already got alliances? This totally won’t backfire :>
• Lynda your family’s ugly lmao. Also she’s probably gonna be a villain
• “Where’s the italian fellow?” Nintendo whenever they need money
• Logan worrying that Alessio ditched them to look for the totem, only for it to cut to Alessio painting smth is such a funny cutaway
• “The early bonding doesn’t concern me. The deconstruction of civilization… hahahaho! Now that’s something that can be put to a canvas!” HE’S JUST LIKE ME FRFR
• HANNAH’S BEING BEST GIRL AS ALWAYS I LOVE HER
• Also there’s something really nice about Amelie casually implementing some french words into her dialogue. I think its really neat, and as someone that did take french, I’m able to understand most of it :D
• I’ve seen some people ship Hannah & Benji together, and although I do see where they’re coming from since they’re both asian, I honestly just see them as friends. TRISTANNAH ALL THE WAY BABYYYYYY
• “I’m all about giving good head.” BENJI-
• I GENUINELY WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM TO SAY THAT OH MY GOD HE’S SUCH A BOYFAILURE I LOVE HIM
• DIEGO HELPING OUT SPENCER AFTER THE BEAM FELL ON HIM, AND ASKING IF HE’S OKAY? OMG THE SHIPPING CRUMBS
• ZAIVY CRUMBS LETS GO
• TRISTAN, ZAID, & IVY ARE GONNA BE AN ICONIC TRIO I CAN SEE IT FROM A MILE AWAY. Also them talking about designing the shelter was really nice :D
• “Ooh! Quite the mind reader, isn’t he?” “Oh, thanks! Though… I’m actually non-binary” THEY SAID IT. IT’S FULLY CONFIRMED AND STATED IN THE SHOW LETS GOOOOOO
• AND THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING WHERE IVY EDUCATING ZAID ABOUT THE TERM AND HIM BEING CHILL ABOUT IT? OH MY GOD THIS SCENE IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED AS A NON-BINARY PERSON
• Ivy’s confessional following this and her backstory’s honestly my favourite so far. She’s definitely a parallel to Riya since she doesn’t want the game (or hollywood for that matter) to change who she was. We all know that the same didn’t happen with Riya anyways
• “The industry is so competitive and nasty, it’s easy to look over the genuine people in your life” I immediately thought of Riya when I first saw this scene considering what happened between her, most of the friends she made during DC, and ESPECIALLY Connor
• IVY’S A THEATRE KID I LOVE HER. Also she joined to prove she can do stuff without her parents help is honestly some great motivation imo
• HANNAHHHHHHH
• Also Amelie slays so hard. Her design’s really growing on me
• ONE OF THE RATINGS FOR AMELIE’S COMPANY SAYS “INSTANT CHOICE EVERYTIME I GET MARRIED” LMAOOOOO
• Alessio getting distracted by a butterfly is mood (said butterfly gave me kirby & qsmp flashbacks, but that’s not important rn)
• I was not expecting Natalia & Isabel to have a friendship even before the trailers & the intro dropped, BUT I LOVE IT SMMMM
• Ted takes an L part 2: electric boogaloo
• Diego wants Spencer so bad. DID YOU HAVE TO RAISE AN EYEBROW BRO? JADE KNOWS WHERE THIS IS GOING BY THAT SMUG LOOK ON HER FACE
• BENJI HOW DID YOU LIGHT YOUR ASS ON FIRE LMAOOOOO
• TREVEK CAME ONTO SCREEN HOLDING HANDS I LOVE THEM
• Emily :D
• “She’s so mother!” “Oh, wow! I didn’t know she was your mom!” THIS EPISODE HAD SO MANY FUNNY QUOTES I LOVE IT
• Aw, Trevor & Emily’s friendship’s healing :D
• Emily looks like she didn’t sign up for this shit lmao
• “I just thought it could use a theme!” “The theme being?” “Building new families” TRISTAN ILY
• How the fuck does Tristan sleep criss-cross applesauce
• “Why don’t you lay off, housewife?” DAMNNNNNN
• THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGGGGGGGGG
• I just realized the guy promoting the patreon and reminding the viewer to subscribe is Connor’s VA lol
• “Over here we have the Demansplainer!” “Kind of a dumb name…” “Why do you think it’s abandoned?” lmao
• WAIT TREVEK’S DEMONSTRATING THE CHALLENGE TOGETHER? THATS AWESOME
• ALSO DEREK HOLDING ONTO TREVOR, AND TREVOR GETTING WORRIED FOR DEREK AFTER NOTICING HE LOOKS LIKE HES GONNA THROW UP WAS ADORABLE
• “Can I hold onto you?” “Can you—? What? The coaster’s already holding you!” “Please?” “…Fine.” AWWWWWWW
• Isabel praying the our father while the coaster’s rising is a mood and honestly relatable for people with a fear of roller coasters
• “Woohoo! Yeah! Who’s hyped?” HANNAH IS SUCH A RAY OF SUNSHINE AND I LOVE HER FOR THAT. ALSO LOOK AT HOW TRISTAN’S LOOKING AT HER WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE
• Richard forgor lol. Also Alessio just casually lounging like a bored student is a mood. I KNOW I KEEP BRINGING THAT WORD UP WHENEVER I TALK ABOUT ALESSIO, BUT HE’S LITERALLY VIBING BRO. I LOVE HIM
• Also animation’s been kicked up a notch compared to older seasons. All those greetings really paid well! Especially the double ones considering most of them have TomJake kissing lol
• DIENCER’S HOLDING HANDS ON THEIR WAY DOWN THE COASTER
• I love how Anastasia & Alessio are completely unphased by the roller coaster drop lol
• “Thanks to Crocoidile Dundee, I couldn’t see the godamn flags. NOT TO MENTION HE RUINED MY VEST!” LMAO
• Everyone mostly struggling with the flag order reminds me of the All Stars challenge where literally everyone besides Grett (And technically Jake & Ally since they were fighting each other instead of doing the challenge lol) were struggling with a fuckass 9-piece puzzle lmao
• Spencer over here thinking he’s a smartass and taking an L for the team lol
• Zaid & Ivy heading back onto the ride, this counts as Zaivy crumbs trust me bro
• Damn red team wins twice in a row? Noice. Also If ya want my opinion on which team I like the most, I honestly think they’re BOTH great since red team has Tristan & Hannah (they share the title of being my favourite contestants for this season), and blue team has Isabel, Natalia, & Alessio (they’re all close seconds) also they have pink n’ green yuri
• THE POSE DIEGO MAKES ON HIS SLEEPING BAG???
• ALSO FIRST TRISTANNAH INTERACTION LETS FUCKING GOOOO
• Jade & Spencer alliance pog. Diego’s probably gonna join in, and this alliance’ll end up in shambles or is gonna prosper, AND I’M ALL HERE FOR IT >:D
• ANARISSA SITTING TOGETHER >:D ALSO ANASTASIA TRYING TO LOOK COOL INFRONT OF MARISSA. GIRL I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
• “Even if I dedicate my life to the Lord, I dedicate my body to the algorithm” God tier quote tbh
• “Oh! No…. My parents aren’t catholic” PLOT TWIST
• Seeing all the teams huddled around each other as they read the letter reminded me that A) both teams are equally great in my opinion, and B) I LOVE ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS, I DON’T WANNA SEE ANY OF THEM GET ELIMINATED WHAT THE FUCK-
• “I nominate Isabel!” “Why her?” “Bitch, look at her! She’s our team’s Mother Theresa” NATALIA ILY
• “Yass! Feed the children” THERE ARE SO MUCH GREAT QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE
• “Go down the path together to a private booth. You’re both about to make a major decision” THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN. AND THE FUCK IS THE PERSON/THING IN THE TREE
• “After everything, people are probably still thinking, ‘What’s a nun doing here? How is she gonna lie or backstab anyone?’ Well I’m here to win a million dollars! And when it’s all over… I’ll pray for forgiveness” SLAYYYYY
• WAIT THAT’S IT? IM NOT EVEN UPSET, ISABEL’S CONFESSION WAS HONESTLY A GREAT WAY TO END THE EPISODE
• ANYWAYS YEA. THIS IS GONNA BE A GREAT SEASON, AND I’M NOT JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE OF TRISTAN & HANNAH SLAYING, AND ALL THE SHIPPING CONTENT
