NEW INTRO POST
MARTY / CAPT or Captain / KAZ / OTHER NAMES
SHE/HIM (+ others) ------ Multi-fandom ------ READ MY STRAWPAGE
Gonna try to keep this blurb short:
Hey. I'm capt-marty on the tumblr. Why did I say it like that. Whatever. Ok. I tend to ramble a lot and such, and while I am an artist, I don't post much art on here! Most of my blog is reblogs! I'm multifandom, but it's very easy to guess my hyperfixation at any given time (like guess right now- hard, I know....)! I am a minor (16+) and am a fictionkin / otherkin! More about that down below mwuhahahahahahahahhahahaha
I FUCKIGN LOVE MY QPPS @silviaflowers + @cow-inthe-closet RAHHHHHHH <33333333
CLICK READ MORE FOR MUCH MORE INFO, RAMBLING ETC!
Okay HELLO!! I don't really make my OWN posts here much, I mostly like reblogging and using it to consume media from my hyperfixations! I do do art, though!!! Wow!!! If you follow me expecting for art I may not be able to give that to you....
Fandom wise? Well. Too many to write down. I like a lot of things! I will keep this as a hyperfixation tracker! SO! AT THE MOMENT:
HYPERFIXATION(s): Danganronpa (v3 and sdr2 mainly), Epithet Erased, the OSC
OH YEAH. Like, for some reason a majority of the things I ship are. QUEERPLATONIC! So if I start reblogging ship art there's a good chance I ship them as qpps
My mutuals are all very cool!! Speaking of, I joke around with my friends on here a lot- most of which being inside jokes. So if you're randomly confused by what on Earth I'm saying it's PROBABLY THAT AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ALSO. Speaking of social things. I'm very! Bad at conversations! So uh. If you reach out and I seem really weird. That's why. I also have bad anger issues and tend to seem very blunt and stuff so if i appear rude IM SO RRY. I'm also extremely chaotic and strange / unhinged in convos but I try to reign it back if I'm not super close with people /silly
Oh yeah! I have some tags on here too. I shouuuld probably put those here...
TAGS: #captain chattin (for rambles- used to be #summer speaks), #my art (for my art), #my ocs (my oc stuff- art from other people, etc), #utb (collab ut story with friends), #om (collab osc story with friends), #me an silvi + #me an mason for stuff that reminds me of my qpps, #fav and #fanfav for favorites, #me for things that just resonate for some reason?? or that I just feel a connection to

Hello Pia
Just for curiosity, no need to divulge, but how many chapters do you estimate UtB and ASTWD will be?
And how many chapters of Vexteria and M&M have you written so far.
Hello!!!
but how many chapters do you estimate UtB and ASTWD will be?
I can't divulge something I don't know!
I literally have no idea. I'm winging both of these stories. I have no plans. I have no 'loose plot' written down on a piece of paper. It's all unfolding as I write it. I know I have enough big goals to keep hitting that we're not like 10 or 20 chapters away from the end of Underline the Black, and probably the same can be said for A Stain that Won't Dissolve. I mean for a start, they both need to be like...able to have sex they enjoy first, and I feel like we're a solid way away from that in both stories!
But yeah, literally no idea. I've tried to guess the length of what's remaining before and that means Falling Falling Stars has hilarious author's notes like 'we're over halfway now' on chapter 50, when there were 90 chapters to go.
So I'm going to stick with a solid 'I don't know!' Usually with a story I'm winging, I have a much better idea in the last 10 chapters. So I know we're not in the last 10 chapters, lmao :D
And how many chapters of Vexteria and M&M have you written so far.
I have 2 chapters of Vexteria (I thought I had 4, I was wrong, whoops) I have 4 chapters of Constellations I have no chapters of Mallory & Mount
None of these are at the top of the priority list right now, because i have literally eight other active stories to work on, and there's a priority list in those too. So I focus on the stuff that still needs to be written, before getting to the stuff that isn't even being put up yet!
As it is, I'm writing around 25,000-50,000 words every month. There's not really any extra in the tank a lot of the time for other stories. :D
#asks and answers#underline the black#a stain that won't dissolve#the thing is when i wing a story#i don't know stuff like length anon#i am truly winging it#i have my worldbuilding written down#but that doesn't include story plot which is a very separate thing to me#you know as much as i do lol#administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

Thinking about English translations of Detective Conan/Case Closed because of Bilibili's recent upload of every episode with English subtitles.
I contemplate the nature of translating a lot. It's part of my job, in a way—while I don't translate between different languages per se, as a non-verbatim transcriptionist, I do (or am supposed to, in any case) translate messy spoken English into clear, concise written English. But yes, if my rambling posts (like this!) are any indication, I struggle greatly with brevity and tend to lean on a more verbatim style because my typing speed is fast enough to let me get away with it.
So, I want to be clear that I understand that translating is hard. It's subjective and an ethical quandary I face every day at work. If I chunk out a speaker's words too much, am I significantly changing the message? That's one question that lingers in the back of my mind when I've got a Bluetooth keyboard on my lap. I can only imagine that translating between two languages as different as Japanese and English comes with even more complications—even more questions than I would even know to ask.
But, gosh. Some DetCo English translations can really vary, and I wonder how much that impacts my understanding of the characters and story just as much as I wonder which translations I should put the most stock in.
For example—and this has been bothering me for a while now, actually—there's kind of a meme from Episode 162, which details Shinichi's first real murder case on an airplane. About midway through the episode, one of the culprits starts smack-talking Shinichi, something that irritates Ran. In the memetic screenshot, using subtitles from what I assume is a fansub production, Ran says to her inexperienced detective friend, "Shinichi, should I beat him up for you?"
Yet, the official English subtitles, now available on Bilibili, say, "Shinichi, why don't you say something?" Similarly, the fansubs I used when I watched the episode read, "Aren't you gonna stand up to him?"
Not nearly so memetic.
But it's not that I think the meme'd-up line is bad. I think it fits Ran's character. If FUNimation dubbed this episode (as I so wish they did), I would have adored if this was the dubbed line. Loosey-goosey dubs that take lots of creative liberties with the material are my favorites. I think they're so much fun and add so much flavor. Not to get too "subs versus dubs" here, but as I see it, a dub is an adaptation, much like how an anime can be an adaptation of a manga, and I like it when adaptations put their own spin on the work and breathe a new life into it.
But subtitles... I guess I see them differently. Maybe unfairly so! I'm willing to admit that I'm being hypocritical here. But while subtitles are also an adaptation of sorts, I still expect them to be more literal than a dub. There are no new vocal performances with subtitles, and for a scripted television show, it's not like my job, where the expectation is that things are getting chunked out, shortened, and made as clear as possible. With subtitles translating another language, I expect to get dialogue presented in a way that mimics the original as closely as it can, in whatever form that means. (Not necessarily exact word choice!)
And judging from the other translations of this 162 bit, I don't think the memetic version does so. You could infer that Ran's so miffed at Shinichi not standing up for himself that she wants to do it her dang self, but I'm not sure if that's what's really relayed by the actual Japanese dialogue.
But—and, spoilers, as this is perhaps the ultimate point of this whole thing—I hardly understand Japanese. The only way for me to not be receiving someone else's adaptation of this moment is for me to be fluent in the language.
As a person very much not fluent in the language, however, who now has official English subtitles for every last DetCo episode available to her, I'm struggling with how best to continue along my watchthrough. At the point I'm at in the series, I've put the messiest OCR'd (Optical Character Recognition) subtitle files behind me, and the translations that are now on Bilibili have not been my favorites to use with my Japanese Conan DVDs.
To look at an example that I was talking about... uh, the other week? I have no sense of time anymore. There were three different translations that I had for "Conan and Heiji's Deduction Magic," Episodes 406-408, and I kind of hopped between them when I originally watched. When posting about the case, I utilized screenshots from my favorite version—and that wasn't the official version that I did have a subtitle file for and that's now on Bilibili. It was one of two fansub versions, featured in the middle below (with the official subs on top):
Conan (official subs): Look, I don't think it's about her just being frivolous or lighthearted. It's more than her just being frivolous and lighthearted with another guy, don't you think? Conan (fansub): Does it make more sense if you add "with other guys" to "her being so friendly and smiling" perhaps? Conan (fansub): Aren't you just feeling jealous and afraid as A man, that the start dating?
I do like elements of the official version, but it's phrased a little oddly. While I can parse out what I think it might have been going for—"Look, I don't think it's about her just being frivolous or lighthearted. It's more that she's being frivolous and lighthearted with another guy, don't you think?"—with the second example, I get the idea immediately. In that way, it's more successful to me as an English translation.
The third example seems to be entirely unreliable. From what the other subtitles are offering me, the whole point is that Conan deliberately does not spell out to Heiji that he's jealous; he wants Heiji to figure it out on his own. To go against that is not faithful to the character and also impacts the plot. If Heiji had been directly accused of jealousy, I'm sure he would have vehemently denied it. Yet, it never once crosses his mind that he's jealous, leading him to an entirely incorrect conclusion that comprises the epilogue of Episode 408.
So, as much as I appreciate the hard work that fans do—and they have truly done some amazing subtitling that's impressed me time and time again—I also wonder how accurate some of the translations can be. That's of course always a concern with any translation, done by anyone, and I've been flipping through different English translations of DetCo practically since I started my whole endeavor to watch every episode. But now it's easier to check the official translations with Bilibili's mass upload, and as I'm continuing along with the series, I keep going back and forth between using my DVDs and just streaming.
And my indecisive, conflicted self seriously doesn't know how to best watch the show now. I generally prefer the formatting of my softsub files over what's on Bililbili, and I also like how they'll translate openings and endings (sometimes with really rad, fantastic karaoke!), which Bilibili doesn't do. Not to mention, I have all these DVDs, and I may as well use them for more than just GIFing, right?
But Bilibili has these cute little segments that I don't know a name for? Sponsor screens without the sponsors? Like, after the credits and epilogue but before the "Next Conan's Hint." Those parts where a bit from the ending song will play over a small animation. My DVDs don't have this footage, but I think they're quite charming and like seeing them:
And for OP 19, "Kumo ni Notte," specifically, Conan would also always say something different in the beginning that related to the episode in question, but practically none of my softsub files translate this. Bilibili always seems to; more than that, with where I'm at now, Bilibili always translates next-episode previews and post-credit jokey-jokes, too, while my softsubs might not, and because Bilibili isn't using the Japanese DVD footage like I have been, next-episode previews are for the actual next episode all the time!
(Or at least most of the time. When looking over Episode 128 on Bilibili, I found that the next-episode preview was for Episode 130? Which I thought must have been because they used Japanese DVD footage, since the Japanese DVDs place episodes out of order occasionally so as to not split up multi-part cases. But that's not actually how the DVD with Episode 128 was organized; the next-episode preview would have been for Episode 132 if Bilibili was in fact using Japanese DVD footage there. So, I don't know what happened with that. But otherwise, from what I've looked at, it always seems to be the actual next episode with the preview on Bilibili.)
Of course, what's probably most important is the actual content of the series. And with just a few episodes, I'm puzzling over what's most faithful to the original Japanese script.
Consider the absolutely ludicrous (but not to say not entertaining) filler that is Episode 471. Despite the absurdity of the scenario, Kogoro has some surprising moments of emotional maturity here (that, yes, are basically undone in the end. It is filler, after all). Using fansubs, I found myself particularly attached to a line where Kogoro admits to Ran that he's been a bad father:
Kogoro: It's my fault. I'm sorry I was a bad father.
Yet, in the official translation on Bilibili, there is no such admission. Kogoro instead only takes direct responsibility for the current situation:
Kogoro: I'm sorry. I got you messed up in this because of me.
Which is more accurate? I don't know enough to say with any certainty. But perhaps like the 162 example, the fansubs here are making an inference. Only a bad father would unwittingly bring his daughter on a death trap.
I think that's pretty... unfair, though. Kogoro wanted to spend a day relaxing with his family. It's not his fault that his rental car just so happened to have a bomb strapped to it. My original interpretation of the fansubs was that, right before Kogoro genuinely believes he's going to die, he wants to apologize for a lifetime of mistreating Ran. It felt powerful to me—a surprisingly sincere, poignant moment from an over-the-top filler.
And I... don't really get that from the official translation. At all. Probably because I'm not supposed to, no matter how much I prefer it.
But, okay. This is a silly filler. What about something actually more plot related? In Episode 472 (which is adorable, by the way, and really brightened my mood), Conan recounts a childhood adventure he embarked on as Shinichi to the Detective Boys and Ms. Kobayashi. At one point in the telling, everyone laughs at baby Shinichi's misreading of some kanji, and fansubs gave me this for Conan's internal dialogue about the mockery:
Conan (internally): I was really young then. It's not like you could have then. Hey...
Because I have little idea about what kanji first graders should know (or what the Detective Boys would know), I thought there was a joke here, like a, "Hey, wait," maybe reminiscent of how Conan bitterly thinks to himself that he's not a kid when Ran bars him from drinking the baigar/paikal/baijiu at the end of Episode 49, only for him to quickly realize that, even in his own body, he's still not of legal drinking age.
Similarly, here, Conan realizes that the actual children in his detective group are the exact same age that he was in the story he's recounting, and they're laughing because they can actually read that kanji when baby Shinichi couldn't. At least, that was what I thought.
And maybe it's on me for misinterpreting! I can't fault the fansubbers for my reading more into the text than is actually there. But the official subtitles are a lot clearer about what I presume is the actual meaning—that is, the Detective Boys are being hypocritical and wouldn't be able to read the kanji, either:
Conan (internally): Give me a break. You can't read it either, can you? You don't have to laugh that hard. Hey!
So, my understanding of the characters is impacted by the subtitles in this case. Which is the more "accurate" translation? I wouldn't know!
tl;dr, I'm really at a loss. I see pros and cons to both viewing methods, and I'm conflicted about how I'm gonna keep watching. Translating is hard! I have no idea which DetCo English translations to focus on, and I hope I haven't been dismissive of anyone's efforts here. Fansubbing especially strikes me as something that really isn't given the appreciation it deserves, so I do want to stress that I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to have had so many fansubs that've allowed me to enjoy my Conan DVDs much more than if I'd just watched them raw. It'd feel bad to reject them now, to brush past them and all their work for Bilibili's uploads when I had originally fully intended on using them. I often prefer their phrasing, and, I mean, I also do some verbatim video captioning as part of my work, and I wish I had the skills to make subtitled videos look as slick and detailed as some of these fansubbers have done. They're really incredible.
I'll probably just keep flipping through translations because this is what I do, I guess, but I do have a question for someone who understands Japanese better than me. There's this moment in Episode 189, part of "The Desperate Revival," where Heiji visits Conan in the hospital after he'd been shot. It doesn't take long for Conan to question Heiji's real reason for being there, and I swear I remember once reading a fansub that had Conan saying something along the lines of, "Why did you come all the way here, purposely with the wrong kind of flowers [so as to give us time to talk in private]?" But the official subtitles don't spell that out:
Conan: What is so important that you had to come all the way here and brought flowers?
And I feel like a lot of this post is just me reading way more into things than there really is and giving myself problems for it, but in this case, I'll be honest: I wouldn't pick up on Conan's understanding that Heiji brought the wrong flowers on purpose if it wasn't spelled out to me.
So, I'm curious: is the spelling out actually there in Japanese? Or were the fansubbers just helping me along? I'd check Viz's translation of the manga for another take, but I don't have Volume 26 right now....
#detective conan#ramblings#shut up goop#tl;dr i am passionate about subtitles and always have them on because i just think they're neat#and now i have so many more subtitle options for detco and i am conflicted#a happy conflict (especially because i now have access to *much* cleaner translations of episodes i've already seen that i can reference)#but still a conflict 'cause now i don't know how to keep watching lol#as an aside while looking at 189 bilibili's translation is basically identical to utb's but there is a little editing here and there#like the flowers line is 'what is so important that you had to come all this way and with flowers even' with my utb subs#and one of the most memorable lines for me with the utb subs is when conan wakes up in the hospital#and he's like 'boy this pain doesn't let up... and neither do i'#because what the heck idk i found it really funny for some reason#but bilibili just has 'i guess i'm a pretty obstinate guy'#shrug emoji just interesting wonder how much the subs have been tweaked here and there#anyway i can't believe i wrote this much on this but that's me i guess#i hope i'm not stepping on any toes or saying too much!#love all the work that folks have put into making this show accessible for english speakers#detco adaptation talk

i’ll send another just because hehe :)
carrie rose + 1989
and then vera elliot + red?
and ooo ida hale + lover?
THANKS!!! <333
okay Carrie Rose + 1989
Out Of The Woods just fits so well for her and her path as a character. As a nurse in the 12th Evacuation Hospital, she would have been on the outskirts of Bastogne, running into our favorite little medic!
But the monsters turned out to be just trees When the sun came up you were looking at me
Vera Elliot + Red
Vera is 100% Holy Ground. Losing contact/falling out with her "friend" Estelle really brings on the angst. 0/10 experience but makes for a 10/10 friends to bi-lovers story.
And for the first time I had something to lose, And I guess we fell apart in the usual way. And the story’s got dust on every page.
Ida Hale + Lover? oh Shannon, you are making this too easy.
The Archer. Hands down.
All the king's horses, all the king's men Couldn't put me together again 'Cause all of my enemies started out friends Help me hold onto you
the bridge fucking slaps, first off. Secondly.... let's dissect this for a moment. *puts on critical thinking cap*
*all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put me back together again*
Obvi, Marc and Ida are my favorite pairing but they aren't a happy ending in the canon of Casus Belli. (read UtB for the Marc Lives AU). I never really divulged how she grieved and that process for her (we are exploring that in Casus Belli).
*'cause all of my enemies started out friends'*
Ummmm. that sound familiar to the climax of ALD at all?
So yeah. The Archer is just such a good Ida Hale song.
Thank you, Shannon for sending in another ask! Send in as many as you want, lol.

Episode 9 - “I'm basically screwed.” - Raffy
So I go about my day and I start my daily idol search then bam finally got all the ingridents for my idol which lowkey made me happy as fuck because I lost the creative immunity challenge the only one I can ever possibly win .
I lost the tree man. I’m big sad energy . Updated thoughts on everyone because I’m big confused Jay- actually voted Cameron out . We are starting to talk more made chat with Jay and Liam that I named T-r-I-o. Think jay might be one of the few people who’s gonna be honest from here on out (I hope so ) Liam- RIDE OR DIE. I would use my idol on this human in a heartbeat . Super sweet and genuine . Also voted Cameron out the proof was in the literal reaction Liam made when Mac went instead of Cameron . Trying to plan a call with him might tell him about my idol . Brien - sadly snaked me :( . Says I won’t go next says the plan will be Cameron again even tho that will make gizmo mad so now I’m sus and I think Brien May be working with them. If he is part of the reason I get out I’m gonna be sad . Raffy : you sneaky sneaky human . Acting like you didn’t vote out Mac but people have stepped forward and told me the true tea . You still think I’m oblivious but it’s all an act darling . You probably think I’m an easy person to beat in the end . You made bottom bitches even though you aren’t a bottom . Sneaky sneaky indeed . Paolo- I have no ill will towards you at all. You at least told me everyone was discussing the bigger players and you said you never heard my name . We don’t have much of a connection but hoping it’s not to late to switch things up a little . Cameron - your probably gonna read this and be like oh she’s just gonna trash talk me . Your wrong lol. Yeah you were suppose to go at tribal but idk you enough to talk bad about you I’m sure your a lovely human . Gizmo- hi I still don’t know who you are 😂 no hard feelings tho ? Maybe we will talk this round ?. Jessie : your in such a bad spot rn at least you have your idol ! (Like literally your probably next boot but maybe someone will tell you if your the vote and you can pull of an epic blindside .)
I’m in the final 8 now and I’m proud of myself for making it this far without being voted out yet and even more surprising not even getting a vote yet. I can’t dwell on my proudness too long though bc I have to figure out which way I’m gonna go from here which is the best route for me to take to ensure I make final 3 Im really upset with raffy after the tribal he came on call with Liam Jessie and I and said he voted with them? Like what?!?!? You’re gonna make me look bad and lie about your vote I nipped that’s right in the bud and told Liam what the deal was, hopefully Liam has me in his plans for the upcoming 2 rounds at least. He seemed really understanding I get that’s how you have to be after you’re blindsided but he really was good. Raffy is my next target bc of his shenanigans after tribal. I think Liam Jessie and jay are still keen on working with me possibly at least until we get to smaller numbers like 6 or 5 I do sense out Paolo as a threat and gizmo gave away while I was on call with him that they were close but keeping gizmo around till 6 may benefit me bc he will always be a larger target then me. I know he threw me utb last round but I’m playing this game like poker each round is a new hand and I have to operate it at a while different level a whole new level of thinking while also trying to better position myself for the future. Gizmo has Paolo and has Cameron and he thinks I’m gonna work with them And raffy no smh that’s not what’s gonna happen. Gizmo wants Liam gone next and Liam wants gizmo gone they are probably gonna war with each other and I don’t know which side I’ll land on but believe me I’ll try my best to make the right choice. I feel bad voting Mac out but I gotta justify it by saying it’ll get me to the end and now I just have to get to the end to prove myself right. Raffy told gizmo he wants to keep me around for a while so it makes sense that raffy is telling me he wants Cameron next but I’m gonna do whatever it takes to get raffy at 8 bc of the stunt he pulled and if I can then I can at final 7 convince Jessie jay and Liam to vote with me bc them 3 are obviously controlled by gizmo. I do believe gizmo is close to Cameron as well as Paolo.
Well I'm basically screwed. I don't have a vote because no one trusts me. I'm at the bottom of the totem pole apparently. So, I guess it's time for me to be yeeted. I can't really do anything about it at this point.

WHOO we won final 8 immunity I honest am kinda upset I don’t want people to see me as a challenge beast or someone who has 2 immunity wins as a resume point for the FTC I mean it good that I do but also bad for the target it may put on me. I’m the number one trusted and I’m super stoked about it however I think if people think everyone trusts me they will start to question if I’m really loyal to them so now at this point I need to continue to work my social game and get people to trust me. This vote is gonna get crazy and I’m just happy no one can say my name. I’m loyal to the fantastic 4 and I think they are too at least for this round and I wanna day for another too bc that’s my ideal final 4 right there. I’m happy we decided to go for Paolo and I hope the vote sticks bc him going is great for me bc I don’t think he wants to keep me long term in this game and it keeps raffy and gizmo both here who I believe are bigger threats then me and will go home before me. Now I got a steal a vote too I need to use that to it full potential and everyone knows I have an advantage but I don’t plan on telling anyone this round and my cover up was that I got to get anything from any of the recipes I hope I convinced them but I’m order to use it properly I may have to tell someone later and it can be used as a tool to get someone back on my side if I need to. It’s good to keep in my back pocket and as a secret now though at least for the round bc I’m safe regardless
So i right now have no vote after it being a seriously close vote with me on the other end of that knife and now I'm trying to get raffy out who is one of the biggest threats and gizmo god love him is dead set against liam like dude i get it he betrayed you twice but he ain't winning challenges like this is why threats make it far in games because people would rather do personal votes like........i get it personal votes feel good sometimes but DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Hopefully i was able to talk him into voting raffy
Gizmo wants to vote for Liam. I want to vote for Cameron. At this point, I am not going to fight for who is out when. I just want to survive. Apparently, Cameron has thrown my name around which is a very big yikes
After Mac left I was RAGING! like RAGING! That was my BOY! Ofc I understand why it happened but I hated that it did happen. Raffy for some reason lied about voting for Cameron which is the dumbest shit ever. Brien & Paolo both told me that Raffy voted Mac and I was like ??? is you on that dumb bitch juice because that's literally the worst thing you could do but okay. I like Raffy a lot so it really confused me. Jessie & I felt super betrayed last tribal so we have our lil trio with Jay and Brien is our 4th right now. While our lil 4 was on call Jessie told me she had an idol but I honestly believe she has more because she was saying how many items she has and I was like "hmmm okay sis". The 4 agreed to vote out Paolo since he's an unexpected vote. Voting for Paolo is gonna destroy me because I love that dude so much and I think when it happens I'll honestly cry but I'm not here to fuck spiders I'm here to win and I'm gonna do everything I can to win this game.
Well, I think I have put myself in an OK spot for tonight's vote. Cam really wanted Raffy gone, but if he goes I'm the next to go then Brien. The 3 of us need to stick together because we have targets on our back. Hopefully the vote was successfully switched to Liam. Going into tribal I'm nervous. You never know what can happen. Last tribal Liam's face showed it all. You have no idea how the game can change and what's going to happen. I never feel truly safe.
I am definitely going home lmao. RIP
I’m in the final 8 now and I’m proud of myself for making it this far without being voted out yet and even more surprising not even getting a vote yet. I can’t dwell on my proudness too long though bc I have to figure out which way I’m gonna go from here which is the best route for me to take to ensure I make final 3 Im really upset with raffy after the tribal he came on call with Liam Jessie and I and said he voted with them? Like what?!?!? You’re gonna make me look bad and lie about your vote I nipped that’s right in the bud and told Liam what the deal was, hopefully Liam has me in his plans for the upcoming 2 rounds at least. He seemed really understanding I get that’s how you have to be after you’re blindsided but he really was good. Raffy is my next target bc of his shenanigans after tribal. I think Liam Jessie and jay are still keen on working with me possibly at least until we get to smaller numbers like 6 or 5 I do sense out Paolo as a threat and gizmo gave away while I was on call with him that they were close but keeping gizmo around till 6 may benefit me bc he will always be a larger target then me. I know he threw me utb last round but I’m playing this game like poker each round is a new hand and I have to operate it at a while different level a whole new level of thinking while also trying to better position myself for the future. Gizmo has Paolo and has Cameron and he thinks I’m gonna work with them And raffy no smh that’s not what’s gonna happen. Gizmo wants Liam gone next and Liam wants gizmo gone they are probably gonna war with each other and I don’t know which side I’ll land on but believe me I’ll try my best to make the right choice. I feel bad voting Mac out but I gotta justify it by saying it’ll get me to the end and now I just have to get to the end to prove myself right.

UTB+ Vol 36: Kudo Haruka x Makino Maria Interview Translation
- - Interviewer: This time’s theme is the high school couple! So you’ve always been playing roles of ikemen characters up till now, do you plan on continuing to play such characters this year too?
Kudo: Hmm, I don’t actually really know (lol)? I do want to, to a certain extent but I also kind of want to be able to play a normal girl’s role properly. However, because recently, I have been given many boy roles to play, it makes me there would be a lot of difficult things if I were to play a normal girl’s role (lol).
Makino: Whenever Kudo-san plays a male role, it always makes my heart pound! It’s never not natural at all. So if Kudo-san were to switch around and instead put on some perfume and stuff, I think I will be like “Eh? Did something happen, Kudo-san?!”. Since Kudo-san is always so natural when she plays a boy’s role (lol).
Kudo: But, a boy’s role can also now be played by a 13th gen (Kaga) who recently joined. This makes me wonder whether I should turn into playing a girl’s role instead? (haha)
Makino: Eh? Please don’t!! Kudo-san is perfect as you are!
Kudo: On the other hand, Makino is really very girlish isn’t she. Like she winks when she’s on stage. And sometimes she even smirks (lol). Whether it just being girlish, or an ability that you were born with, I guess I am just lacking in this aspect (lol).
Makino: I think it’s actually a habit instead. It’s just that sometimes, when I sing, I just like to wink (haha).
Kudo: That’s the nature/character of idols! I’m going to try to work on evolving this part of me from now onwards then!
Makino: Then, how about if you also do “Marian LOVErin desu” too? While I will continue doing it as well!!
- - Interviewer: By the way, has there been anything that has changed after the 13th generation members have been added into the group?
Makino: Up till now, the seniors have been really kind & always fawns on us, but this is the first time that I have juniors. And whenever the 13th generation members asks me various questions, I always think to myself, “what will my seniors say if I were to ask them such a question in the past?”. Such as teaching them how some things done in Kenshuusei are not correct when in Morning Musume.
Kudo: Because Kenshuuseis (trainees) who joined the group have previous trainings, they usually do not require much training. So I actually felt that the time between when 11th Gen (Oda) & 12th Gen entered the group was very short. Honestly, I’m more worried about 12th Gen than 13th Gen, even though I think its really fun watching them grow. I’m especially worried about Makino & Nonaka! However, because the 13th Gen members will be faced with so many many new things, I fear they may lose themselves. But as the 12th Gen has had about 2+ years more experiences, I’m sure they will gradually change little by little. So I hope that will not feel too overwhelmed by the fresh new 13th Gen members.
Makino: I got it (lol). I hope that in our next tour I will be able to bring out my more mature side. I also want to be able to express more expressions that I feel with my heart in tours & H!P concerts. With all the energy that I’ve got! Perhaps this is something Kudo-san would actually say (haha).
Kudo: Since you debuted earlier than Kaga who is in the same generation as you when you were a Kenshuusei, I imagine it’s a little difficult getting used to how it is now isn’t it.
- - Interviewer: Well then, let’s move on to what your goals/aims are for this year. Please let us hear it!
Makino: I want to be able to stick firmly & complete my daily goals. As I tend to lose things often, I would like to stop being such a blockhead and stop losing things all the time. Also, I would like to be able to have “self-endurance”. My favorite quote is by Nakata Sho from Nippon Ham Fighters who said “Win with your heart”. I want to make that my goal. I want to be able to practice with all my heart & not give up/lose heart so easily!
Kudo: As this year will be Morning Musume’s 20th Anniversary, I would like for us to have a brilliant impact on people in this 1 year. As for me, I want to challenge myself to more plays. Last year, I participated in a commercial for Pro-active, and many people told me that they watched it. So, I hope there would be more opportunities for people to recognise us from stage plays, dramas and maybe movies.

Episode 8: “from now on i’m doing whatever the fuck I want.” - Asya
kind of a good thing i didnt vote this round because people dont know where i stand in everything
it seems to be facebook vs tumblr but fuck that bc i genuinely dont trust most of the tumblr people and id hope that if i jump on the facebook train that they'll take me into their community AND into their alliance if i become sheepy enough and stop socializing with people so i seem like an ftc goat. lets see what happens :)
I JUST WANNA REALLY QUICKLY RIGHT NOW APOLOGISE TO ELMO FOR THE LONG ASS CONFESSIONAL I MADE A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I DOUBTED HIM. I WAS VERY VERY PARANOID AND THOUGHT LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THIS GAME WAS GONNA BE AGAINST ME AND I THOUGHT ELMO WAS PROBABLY GONNA BE IN THERE AS WELL JUST TO BE PETTY BECAUSE IM A DUMB BITCH OKAY I FEEL REALLY FUCKING BAD ABOUT IT ELMO PLEASE DO NOT HATE ME I ADORE U SO SO MUCH OH MY GOD
i’m like genuinely irritated lmao like i can’t even talk to these people i’m so mad.
i felt so bad lying to chloe and writing her name down when i genuinely just wanted to work with her in the merge. and these fucking Freaks were so sure that lily and anabel would vote her and it would be fine so i said okay. then what happened? one of those two flipped. i should’ve voted lily last night just to send a message. from now on i’m doing whatever the fuck i want cause fuck these people
youtube
Omgggggggg. I’m livinggggggggg. After completely flopping the last round I’m just so happy that I know That I’m safe. I’m trying to figure out how to navigate the rest of the game and I think it’s about damn time that I get an alliance going. Or at least have myself talk with everyone and make sure we can agree on a vote because if I’m in the minority again and either Johnny or Jared go home I’m a goner. I’m really hoping I can find a way to work with Elmo and Ben for the rest of the game as well. I think if I could be in an alliance with all of them I may just be able to make it far in this game. Also Chloe I’m sorry for voting for you last round. It’s honestly because of how iconic you are and I hope you can forgive me Queen.
WHEW what a night this has been. Ben decides to make an alliance chat with me, Elmo, Zack and Justin. Okay sure I guess this is happening now. We all be sharing idol guesses with him as well. It's called Anabel's angels, which is kinda funny since she's not in it but apparently Ben does not trust her to not leak it. I also had Jared speak to me and say he wont come for me this round if I don't go for him, I mean sure, I wasn't gonna go for you yet anyway so if this helps to take the target off me for once then fine. But he also mentioned that he spoke to Ben who said he wanted to work with me, which led Jared to say he would be open to as well. It leaves me questioning the bond between Jared and Ben. Not something I'm going to freak about just yet, but will be kept in mind. And I also had a chat with Zack about how I feel I'm being overshadowed a bit right now and a bit stuck. Justin is definitely in a power position right now and I think he knows, everyone sort of knows it, just no one from the alliance really wants to say it out of fear that he will then target him. I do think Justin needs to go soon, he's far too much of a threat the closer the end gets and I feel he definitely will be one of the first to at least attempt to make a move. I feel my first move should be to turn on Justin and if I pitch myself right I really think I could get it to work. Shame though because as a person I adore him, I just don't want him to start running this show too much and then be left scrambling to try to get him out near the end. To finish it all off, Lily has messaged me and said she wants to work with me this round after being totally inactive today. She gave a not fantastic apology compared to the others and did not give me a single reason as to why she voted me. Asya, yet to message me. @ both of them ~ hit the bricks bitch.
I wanna say that I'm really glad for Elmo, Zack and Ben and the fact I know them all. I had a not fantastic time today but tonight we called nd played some roblox, or at least I listened to them because my roblox wouldn't connect. I had so much fun and I feel it did bring us closer as a group and it was something I really needed. So ya I love these guys so so much, they deserve the world and I hope we have more roblox calls to come <3 <3 <3

honestly feeling like my number is up. i don’t know i just have that icky feeling that i’m joining joey tonight.
i threw around the idea of throwing johnny utb to save my own skin, since he was very Loud last round abt his legacy advantage (which i’m starting to think he didn’t? actually? play? idk i wasn’t at tribal but i watched part of it and i don’t think there was any indication that he played the advantage) but idk how to feel about that. like if i did it would purely be out of self preservation, and not with the hope that he’d will me the advantage he may or may not have faked playing the other night. but anyways i don’t see myself lasting long regardless with the way things are. in a more fluid merge i’d be less worried, but i feel like there are capital s Sides and i’m on the wrong one
and chloe will have definitely told her allies i’m a lying rat by now. i wish i could talk to her but i’m Baby and if anyone is just a little bit mean to me right now i will legit burst into tears
my people still don’t have a name and honestly i don’t have one to throw out. the last time i did i was wholly ignored and it blew up in our faces. now that person has immunity and we don’t have the numbers. i don’t know i cant think about this anymore or i’m gonna concuss myself
youtube
"Hey Elmo? wanna vote Bodhi?"
"Not yet"
Oh we doing this again. I see you.
ugh. it's getting to the point where i literally can't deal with these people anymore. even the people i'm working with are getting on my damn near last nerve. the only person i've talked to about how i'm genuinely feeling, is chloe. i can't tell elmo and justin how i'm feeling because it's clear as day at how close they are and it's even more clear about how close they are with people outside of our alliance. and i'm glad when i talked to chloe, she felt the same way. everyone we're aligned with are so vocal and want to be in power so it's gonna clash soon i feel like. i don't want elmo and justin to think they're controlling everything and think i'm gonna just be in the background. i will be in the background for this vote though because it seems like justin is the one being in everyone's pm's trying to figure out how they're voting. and hopefully i'm not the only one who see's that and people start to realize how power hungry he really is. so i'll let him do all that right now and let him pick this vote and then when the time comes, people can think he was running it all and if it needs to be done, i'll drop hints here and there about it. i can't help but feel some typa way because i'm seeing it all with my own eyes and i don't think i'm over thinking it. elmo is close with jared and probably has multiple side deals. elmo and justin are closer then they're putting off. justin and johnny are close and justin seems to be trying to talk to everyone so.. all i know is, i need to start making side deals and talking to a lot of other people, and chloe agrees she's gonna do the same. so after this round, i think we're gonna try and get 2 step aheads and start focusing on the future of this game so we can try and have one over on them.. because i know this isn't gonna last.
haha so remember when i lied to jared and bodhi and asya and lily and voted joey out.. well.. perhaps i am now lying to elmo and ben and justin and zack and chloe and voting justin
________________________________________________________________
why am i LYING so much in this game. is it impossible for me to just. be HONEST. apparently it is bc there’s not one person ive been completely honest w... even johnny..... oopsies!!!!!
youtube
youtube
sorry this is a short one but everyone has agreed on asya but im almost like sure that its a fake plan and im NOT SURE IF I SHOULD PLAY MY IDOL OR NOT BECAUSE IM SO WORRIED HISDFHISDF BUT I DONT WANNA MISPLAY IT? I ALSO DONT THINK THEY SHOULD BE COMING FOR ME...
god im nervous jsdfoij
This is a last minute confessional im legit at tribal rn I think im going home. it was too quiet all day and I dislike what Bodhi has just said. I feel uncomfortable and sick. If I go home then I go home but I will be a bitter jury member.
this vote was going to be ben, but i tried to get it to split. ive workede pretty hard at this and maybe it’ll work.
________________________________________________________________
Justin is voted out 7-4. He becomes the second member of the jury.

Episode #8: "stick to ONE STORY, not nineteen." - Zach
I think missing the Joint-Tribal Council has been a net positive for my game. Both Takagi2.0 and Kato2.0 were unable to put their differences aside to settle the vote, which means Attila is free to come in and play kingmaker. The choice here is obvious. Kato2.0 could use some shrinkage. Hopefully starting with one of the two original Kato members.
I've re-connected with all of my allies. A lot of them were scared for me during my little tie incident. But now that we're back together again, we have nothing to worry about. ;)
Ally told me everything about the Joint-Tribal vote, and how Kato2.0 seemed unwilling to flip on itself. She even went so far as to tell me Zach seems more loyal to Kato2.0 than she originally expected. Maybe she'll be down to vote him out sooner than I expected. Karth also told me about the vote, and the dynamics of the Kato2.0 tribe. Jake seems to be the odd one out in all of this. It sounds like he's starting to isolate himself socially by being too sketchy with both the StephenW/Federico votes. I wonder where Miguel/Zach/Tim fit into all of this.... I guess if Karth flips, it won't really matter anyway.
It's weird to feel this safe with my alliances right now. It's honestly a new feeling for me in ORG's. I'm finding myself questioning whether I'm being arrogant or if my position is really as good as it appears to be. I put a lot of work into my relationships in the pre-merge and I feel like my social/strategic bonds couldn't be stronger than they are right now. I just hope it all starts to bare fruit here and I can be a serious winner contender.
Luke is a crackhead confirmed.
He literally is as messy as a Sloppy Joe. His stories literally don't add up in any way, shape, or form. He first began by letting me know that: Karth, Aly, and, Zach are in alliance. (He's basically trying to get me spooked about those three potentially working together in this game. K cool. FINE. Spooked? barely?).
BUT THEN he goes on to say the votes for Stephen Z were 5 to 3 and that Aly voted in the minority... but? if she had this alliance? wouldn't she have known where to fucking vote? Weird, right? Why would she flip on her "alliance" of Zach, Karth, and herself. THEN he proceeds to tell me that Aly flipped between voting out Zach and Stephen all day?
THEN HE TELLS ME... SHE WAS FLIPPING BETWEEN WHERE TO VOTE ALL DAY...
MY DUDE.. IF SHE WAS IN AN ALLIANCE WITH ZACH WHY THE FUCK WOULD SHE FLIP FLOP BETWEEN VOTING HIM OUT?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
In conclusion, Luke is too messy for my taste and needs to go.
the end.
OMG I feel so happy we finally merged! I feel like I have options to work with in this merge as I think Zach, Karthik, Jake and Tim could stick together. I also have the option to work with Luke and Jake later on the game as og Kato (I have 0 interest in playing with Alyssa). If I had to choose someone to leave next it would be either Jess, Stephen (Bc I don't know em) or Alyssa who I never trusted. Also the joint tribal was a mess but it ended up going the way I wanted with an og Kato gone. (why do I want an og Kato gone?) well most of them are liars and players, but I don't wanna close the option to play with em, so like the least og Kato members there r the best bc no one would expect that probability. I also reaaally like Ally but I'm not exactly sure if I can trust her.
Well the joint tribal was intense as expected. Glad to have come through it and made the merge without facing much trouble. I learnt a lesson not to trust someone just based on past relationships. I had been looking forward to meet Luke as I have played with him on EM and he is lovely. But the first day we meet on this game he has been going around saying Zach,Ally and me are an alliance that would run this game. Not cool Luke! But I can't blame him for this as he is playing his game. I trusted Ally a lot too but off-late things seem odd with her. She told me she was voting Stephen W but then she tells me that she changed her mind at the last moment as Stephen W told her that he had an idol. I am not sure if I could believe her on this. I cannot feel comfortable anymore in this game and have to start reconsidering my options. I have been on good terms with Tim and I am planning to try and improve on it and be his best buddy. Feel things are gonna get real intense now with the merge and I am hoping I could lay low and somehow survive the next couple of votes and plan from there.
I actually made merge? shook.
I'm not too sure how exactly I am going to navigate this merge at this current moment. If you would have asked me 10 days ago who I would want to work with in the merge I probably would have had a different answer as I currently do. Honestly I found myself working with... Alyssa somehow again. However, I feel like we both know we want to end each other's game but none of us can do it just yet. So that's going to be a problem down the line and It'll be fun to see what happens. However, I'm more worried about ending Stephen's game than I am at ending Alyssa's. This dude has COME TO PLAY. I can see him making it far in this game. You can already tell he's socially connected, strategic, and I'm sure he can bring the physical when needed.
... but... I can't start killing my alliances games just yet. Right now I need to build relationships with everyone and I'm STRUGGLING to do so. I don't know if it's just these people in this game or if it's me? I've been attempting to talk to every single person in this game but.. I'm not getting much. I know this is going to sound horrible but.. trying to socialize with some of these people feels having to go to the dentist. It's unpleasant.. but I have to do it.
To build some sort of trust with certain people... I used what Luke told me about the "alliance" of Zach, Aly, and Karth and let them all know in order to build some trust. However, Alyssa randomly already knew about it (I didn't tell her) and so did Tim? So? Big Mood Energy.
There are rumours of a Kato 2.0 alliance going around currently. I want to end that "alliance" BAD if it really is a thing. However, I really don't want to step on Tim's toes and blindside him. Once I lose Tim's trust in this game I think my game is going to become significantly harder to play. I'm just not too sure what the fuck to do. I'm already flopping hard here.
youtube
Well, to the basement once again and it sucks. I never find any luck in stuff like these which makes it terrible. A lot might happen during the merge vote as its an important vote and being left out of it is not so good for me. I can feel that Ally and Stephen have lost some trust in me which makes me sad and worried as I have been considering them as my core allies. I dont feel so good atm and I get a negative vibe which tells me I could go home tonight :(
AHHHH so merge!!! Im so happy I made merge!! Stephen won immunity as well as Alyssa!! I hope I can survive!!
I find myself in a fast forming majority with Ally, Jess, Stephen, and Alyssa. Ok the flip side I’ve been speaking with Karth, Jake, Miguel a lot and with Tim and Zach a bit. I’m feeling okay right now as no one seems to want me out and it’s looking like I have possible moves to make, the vote is set on Miguel at the moment but by tonight who knows what could happen. Idols are a big risk as well at this point so while I’m feeling safe im also highly nervous. I’ve been to the most tribals of anyone left in the game I believe so I have learned to expect some sort of drama in the last hour or so before tribal that could change the vote entirely so I’m not totally locked into a vote but I have my ideas, we will have to see what happens
i'm NOT FUCKING SURE what's going on. anyway, here's a recap of the past few days. -- STEPHEN VOTE -- stephen's a king, i love him. however, he handled this round very poorly and that got himself booted 100%. i'm happy he's on jury though i don't think i stand much chance at his vote. let me go off about something: i wanted jake out. i was so close to voting jake because i don't trust that kid really and i knew the perception would be "kato 2.0 5 are STRONG" - which it is currently. i'm WOKE! ally even told me this and it's common sense. HOWEVER, stephen threw my name out and basically threatened me (briefly, vaguely) about voting me out and i don't like that. you do not try to get me to flip by threatening to vote me out. that is not how i operate. so to the people who think we're strong - know that's not the case. i dont want to get cocky, but i think i was a swing in this vote (i could've gotten any combo of karthik, tim, and miguel to vote jake with me, or even tied it alone) but i didn't because stephen decided to throw me UTB and luke decided to be messy. stick to ONE STORY, not nineteen.
-- MERGE -- we made merge. it was really exciting to reach this stage of the game, as well as jury. at least if i get brutally blindsided ever... i'm getting to vote for a winner!!! that's really all i could ask for at this rate. but now that i've accomplished two of my goals, it's time for the next step: winning. i find this cast to be dry. by that, i mean... not super active until the time is appropriate. now, before i get dragged, i understand - why be super active when you don't have to be. but it's just been boring for the most part and no one's really utilizing the 24 hours of freedom to secure bonds (but neither was i so i can't fully complain). i got to reconnect with people & meet others. jess is great, and i missed her so much. stephen is still the same for me - sketchy but fun. alyssa is one of my favs and within minutes of speaking to her i understand why she is a force to be reckoned with. was there someone else... no. so everyone's great. anyway, alyssa and i made a pact to not target each other due to being known as 'big players' or whatever. she might've been stroking my fatass ego but... it worked.
-- IMMUNITY -- when immunity comes around, people are still staggering when it comes to socializing. some people, however, made deals with me. jess/alyssa/karthik/miguel are all legends. if i forgot someone, rip. anyway, i stayed mostly true to my deals, maybe giving it off 1 point value from where i promised. i know that i can easily win this immunity but i kind of don't care and give alissa the +3 (i thought about giving her -3, which means i win - and that would've been the case). now, before i get voted out tonight and flamed, ill say that i didnt want to win this immunity and it wouldve made me a bigger threat regardless. immunity results happen, and alyssa/stephen win. that's fine. i wasn't planning on voting one of them out this round.
-- TRIBAL -- i have talked about most of this in my conf chat so i'll just regurgitate it: ally told karthik the vote was miguel (or his name was going around). he told me. stephen told tim same news, tim told me. i think this is a decoy vote. why? because why would you tell everyone the vote, especially given that there is fear from multiple people about the Kato 2.0 alliance staying strong (it's not even alliance. BTW, POST -SEASON -- YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE WASN'T AN ALLIANCE.). am i close to them? yea, most of them, but that's the same with any combo of people who are on the same tribe for a few days/rounds. i tell jess about hearing miguels name, she asks who, i leak tims name. this was a mistake because i dont really trust jess 100% but... anyway. coincidentally, after i do this, stephen comes into my pms. he explains that miguels name has been floating around alongside the rumour of kato 2.0 being strong. this would be smart if i was dumb but it's clearly to save face. i'll credit stephen/co. tho. it's smart. i should want to vote out one of the five to secure myself and make the target fade. but have it be known that i don't see the benefit of tim/miguel/karthik leaving this tribal, especially given my target size. it's just odd. i also realize jess told karthik what she told me - about how the rumour of me/ally/karthik are a tight trio - is going around. she told me she was informing me of this info to 'have my back' but girl told other people too so i aint important LOL. alyssa tells me my name is going out now by stephen, and he allegedly has numbers. these numbers would consist of ally/stephen/luke/alyssa/jess + maybe some kato 2.0. i'm worried now. i don't anticipate jess/alyssa would vote me this soon. ally shouldn't. it'd be dumb bc i can leave at any tribal if you dont let me get to like f5/6. but i can't expect these people to always play to their win-con bc they may think their win-con is something different.
so at the moment, i struggle as im full of confusion and stress once again. maybe i should've won immunity (but also i felt like alyssa couldve beaten me easily so i didn't bother). i think the vote could be me, it makes more sense than the vote being someone like miguel (and everyone knowing said information). ill have to reassess the situation soon, but i may idol tonight. i want to trust that the following people wont vote me: alyssa/jess/karthik/tim/miguel - but can i? idk. if i could have my way, one of jake/luke would leave tonight . or stephen but sisters immune so.
this tribal has been so quiet i hate it

A question.. is Anton monogamous in UtB? I'm rereading TGATNW and am at the part where Flitmouse admits to Jack that he wants one main partner and finds polyamory offputting, but Anton is v poly. Is their conflict the same or similar in UtB ? (Understand completely if this is a spoiler and you can't elaborate)
Hi hi anon!
Anton only bonds with one omega at a time.
Here, the conflict plays out where instead, Flitmouse gets incredibly jealous / bothered by the fact of knowing that Anton has bonded with omegas before him, and will bond with omegas after him, and that he's just temporary.
But he also knows that's the nature of the game, so his inner conflict is quite frustrated and repressed in the way that it is in Golden Age, just along a slightly different strata, I guess you could say? More around the temporariness of bonding in rehab centres, and less around polyamory.
There's also still an element too of 'I will die before you' - because Flitmouse is older than Anton in Underline the Black, and Anton is immortal while Flitmouse isn't in Golden Age, which was another source of Flitmouse's bitterness, and belief that being with / falling in love with any golden soldier is stupid / ill-advised.
#asks and answers#fae tales#fae tales au#alois flitmouse#anton the brave#the golden age that never was#underline the black#so yeah it's different but the same emotions are kind of coming up?#it's still flitmouse kind of fundamentally disagreeing with an aspect of anton and his life/job#idk exactly how it will play out though

Episode #8: “hoebi hears ALL things shady...” - Tobi
Ok I’m super excited because we finally got a challenge involving something I’m good at which is aesthetics. I fucking love moodboards and I really wanna win a challenge so I’m hoping I can win this.
So I am absolutely not creative at all so this challenge is gonna be a struggle for me so love that
So Wes was just voted out. Im neutural about it. Yes wes was a number, but it wouldve done too much drama to try and save him. Im playing my game not his. He didnt do himself any favours.
This round my target is david. He seems like someone who isnt central to everyone. So therefore I think he would easier to get votes on. Plus scott has mentioned david annoys him. So im hoping that now i can managed to pull 2 people our way to vote our david.
people sure gettin feisty..
lets start off with missus dani and mr michael the obvious f2.. like bitch if ur gonna leak things i tell u dont make it obvious!! LAMFJHFG and now dani wants to flip the script on felix bc She Doesnt Want To Do What Shes Told. like gtfo :) ugh im sick of them both i wanna blindside them so bad..
and then i might get caught leakin if this shit gets out more.. hope the vote stays at felix vs david tho bc its bye bye david :)
uhm idk wha t more to say. im done with these mercia people..
Today... the tea... is absolutely STEAMING!! so initially the plan was for david to leave bc felix also wanted to blindside him... but scott's told michael who TOLD david about it and now david knows about it so the target is switched rn... Also more tea is that dani thought she was slick and told scott that she wanted to blindside felix along with scott, david, michael, some sweyn, and said ahrre would do whatever she said... what she said also insinuated that me, mo, and felix were on the bottom of our og tribe... guess she doesn't know that hoebi hears ALL things shady... looks like im flipping off of my og tribe for a 3rd org in a row ladies
im such a fucking mess.... but thank god i have rhys/jones/ryan pickin up the pieces and we still blindsidin.. ALMFJBG
GOD I HOPE ITS DANI THO IM DESPERATE FOR HER TO GO. and i wanna show michael u dont fucking throw me utb n get away with it.. i may be inbred but im not completely dumb n i have the social bonds to stay aMJFHBG
im so dumb like i deserve nothing good after this.
pleaseletmewinpleaseletmewinpleaseletmewinpleaseletmewinpleaseletmewin i w a n t t h i s
SO MUCH HAS BEEN GOING DOWN GUYS this tea is HOT SO since before the Wes vote, Felix, Mo, Tobi, Scooty, Ryan, Rhys and myself were planning on voting for David for the F11 vote - because he's a comp threat and seems pretty set on not flipping on OG Mercia BUT when Scooty was chit chatting with his Canute bff Michael, MICHAEL SPILLED THE BEANS and basically threw Scooty under the bus, so David found out about the plan! I had to play dumb when David asked me about it, and I told him I had no idea (and he totally fell for it >:3c), BUT Felix heard about it and went to Ryan and it became A [clap emoji] CLUSTER [clap emoji] FUCK [clap emoji x3] Scooty also got tea from Dani that she wants to flip the script on Felix with Scooty, me, David, Michael, and Ahrre (she said Ahrre would follow along with anything bc they're paranoid asf) - SO she basically layed out the Mercia tribe Dynamics and indirectly said that Mo, Felix, and Tobi were on the bottom. Which honestly we knew, but that works perfectly for us Sweyn ;) So after I cleared everything up with Felix that Scooty never spilled the beans to David and that Michael is a total snake, we were thinking about what to do next -And because David knows his name's been mentioned, we had to tread carefully. So then we thought,, why not use this paranoia to our advantage? We can make David feel like he's a target so they can possibly play an idol on him (which is a HUGE possibility) but in actuality,,, we're voting for Dani or Michael. It's pretty obvious to everyone that they're a really tight duo and it would be great if we could split them up now before they go far. Right now everyone would definitely prefer to vote Dani (and so would I) because apparently she's a possible comp threat, and also she's v messy so there's that. but if she possibly wins immunity then the vote's changing to Michael. As long as that duo breaks up then we're solid. BUT THAT'S THE TEA FOR NOW I'll try to make another confessional if my dumbass remembers to <3
So I didn’t win, which makes me sad but I did come in second place. Another good thing is that Jones won and I’m allies with Jones so I’m very happy about this. Overall I’m happy.
Hey ya boy is back now I'm gonna recap last week cause my flop ass forgot to do it as it happened. Basically I didn't win immunity which is good. Then I went take a poopoo and when I come back everyone is saying Wes, so hey guess I don't work this week, a nice change compared to the week jose went home.
As for Wes well he hadn't been the most active and I really didn't had a bond with him so that seemed as a convenient vote to me. Aparently he was also targetted cause he was one point away from winning immunity? idk how much of a factor that was but hey kids all the more of a reason to throw them early challenges.
Now talking about tribe lines I'm doing my job talking with the other guys and letting them know I'm willing to work with them. However I'm keeping my eyes on them, specially Scott who seemed to have charmed Michael and Dani in after having flipped on Malik. Add to that the connections he probably has with his OG tribe and make no mistake he could very well be in the best position in this game, which means I will probably have to take a shoot on him sooner or later.
Tobi could also be in a similar postion since the other guys saved him when they had a 4-1 tribe divition advantage, but idk how much was up to Tobi chatting them up instead of Madison being a liability, but I will also keep an eye in him.
Additionally Michael is def not fully in with the idea of staying og tribe strong, which is fair enough. But he also told me Felix told him last week he wanted david out next week, so that would basically be this week. So I'm gonna have to learn more about that, also I never knew who originally threw Wes's name out and no one seemed to know but something tells me Michael had something to do with that as well.
So all in all that's a bunch of stuff I'm gonna have to act upon while keeping a low profile, but hey lazy week was last week so it's not time to get confortable and sit around without doing anything.
sooo i came online today to some messiness lmao. apparently danielle/michael/david all found out about felix's plan, and michael went to Felix and basically threw Scott under the bus about it lmfao. and they want to pull in Ahrre + some Sweyns to flip it on Felix and uh.... yeah no afkdsf. i was able to get felix back on the right page and i think we're good to go him/Mo + Sweyns and blindside Danielle or Michael hehe, because felix thinks an idol could pop up or something idk
so the new plan is blindside miss dani.. thank god LMAOAOAA i been wantin her ass out forever and i wanna have michael stay shook bc if he thinks im gonna be loyal to him after this.. lmao
SHE SHOULDA JUST SAT THERE AND ATE HER FOOD INSTEAD OF SITTIN THERE SAYIN ‘OH I DONT WANNA DO WHAT IM TOLD’ LIKE BITCH. YES U WILL. OTHERWISE UR ASS IS GRASS. THANK U, NEXT.
Okay, so Jones won immunity. Great! Sweyn on the immunity train.
So David was the original plan. However scott went around trying to swing it to david to people who cant keep their gob shut. Michael went to tell David, and david has come full circle and started asking everyone if they had heard my name. So now The sweynians have tried to swing the vote on Dani. As its seen that her and Michael are a pair & Tobi finds Dani annoying.
So we are going to keep the facade that its still David and try to keep telling Michael its David etc and get votes on David. When in reality thats a big fat lie. And Dani should be getting votes.
So tonight the vote is very simple. To vote Ryan however the complication comes from whether or not I go with the og sweyns to blindside David in an attempt to really open the game up and have less of a tribe vs tribe dynamic. Also complicating matters is the fact scott wants me dani and David to form a voting block with Ahrre and someone else to really control this game. It seems to me that I need to really think about my decision.
they better make up their minds whether its me or ryan bc i aint agreeing to a 5th name this tribal LAMFJHFG
So all this is messy and I just start thinking, why don’t I flip like David’s a threat and it would open up the game 100% and also if it was just a case of David vs Ryan id vote ryan but I like Rhys so.
So a lot happened and now it’s rhys but I don’t want rhys I want ryan and with my crazy coo coo plan I hope that i get what I want bc that would be cute and like so unexpected and it would get the game to be opened up
im gunna fucking piss myself why are mercia SO DUMB!!! THEY WANNA SPLIT BETWEEN RYAN AND RHYS LMAOAOAOA LIKE HOW.. KILL ALL UR BONDS IDC!! ME AND JONES ARE BUSY CRYING LAUGHING BC THEYRE JUST SO FUCKING BAD AAAAAAAA
So I wake up to hear my name being throw around by my own og tribe... I love this tea soooo much... like in the end they settled for ryan but the fact that they have the audacity to put me up as an option AND THEN ask me for my vote... I have to laugh LKJHDFLJ I guess its time to flip the script!! Dani and Michael are coming up with this "genius" plan of splitting the votes between ryan and rhys because they think scott, jones, and I are with them... oh honey... they have a big storm comin... we're using this to our advantage to do a clean vote on Dani and take out one of them mofos... miss piggy gets revenge tonight
soo i came online to a whollllllle big ass mess lmao. Dani & Michael been scrambling to get out me or Rhys to save David and they have no idea they've dug themselves so far into a ditch.... it's scary knowing i'm gonna get votes but i feel confident that ppl have my back... i feel good that the Sweyns + Tobi + Felix will vote together to get Dani, and I just hope we've done a good job at making them not see it coming... but even if they do and an idol is played correctly by them, my idol 10000% is going to make an appearance hehehe
Hello here I am,, coming in clutch as the moodboard QUEEN. um,, thank god honestly. bc rn it seems like og Mercia wanted to just pick off Sweyn and I know for a fact David would've wanted to go for me first bc of Ko Chang (which btw, if you target people for past games, choke, it's a new game get over it sweaty c:) but yeah I'm glad I have immunity <3 thank god I ran a moodboard account over the summer teehee So yeah rn the Mercia group is a clusterfuck and I love it,,, I love watching the world burn yk? They really just,,, have no idea what they're doing. first they want to go for Scott, but apparenlty that's a cover and they're going for Ryan, THEN SCOTT KNOWS and they change the vote to Rhys, then they're splitting??? like??? hello????? y'all gotta make up your minds we've been planning on voting Dani out since before immunity came out. this couldn't have been easier honestly. I love this. THEN MICHAEL bless his heart I love him so fucking much but he really told me that David doesn't trust any of Sweyn and wants them out,, like,,, does he not realize,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm from Sweyn. like,,, that makes me want to take you guys out even more. PLUS he's really digging his own grave when he says that Mo and Ahrre can do whatever they want and they don't matter like,, you don't give the people on the bottom leg room. that's really dumb I love Michael to death but he's doing this to himself rn but heres the rundown on what everyone on that side THINKS is happening - Michael, myself, Scooty, Dani and David vote for Ryan - Ryan and Rhys vote for David - and Mo, Ahrre Tobi and Felix do whatever the fuck they want/Rhys apparently. so that would be a 5/4/2 vote for Ryan. HERE'S WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING (or what I think is happening based on my sleuthing) - David Dani and Michael are voting for Ryan - Ahrre is voting for Rhys - and myself, Scooty, Ryan, Rhys, Tobi, Mo, and Felix are all voting for Dani. making it a 7/3/1 split. I really hate how cocky I sound rn but holy fuck Mercia really crumbled and I barely did anything except for keeping Sweyn/Felix/Mo/Tobi on my side. Thank god. plus with all of this info we gathered now it'll be a lot easier to pull in Ahrre so we can take out the rest of Mercia. see y'all at F10 <3
everyone in this game can stay shook sweyn is runnin this shit..
this is legit my gameplan. be a crazy ass bitch and be a mess and people will never vote ur ass cus they think ull lose in ftc LAMJFBFG
youtube
OKAY. So lets catch up on the vote.
Originally sweyn was going for David. So Scotty was trying to get on it early and get people to swing to him. He told Michael. Michael tells David. David asks all of Sweyn if we heard his name.
We all regroup, and decide Michael or Dani is the best bet. As you know, snitches get stiches. Dani is Michaels ally and I have heard some people have been annoyed with her. So Dani is our new target. We have Tobi, Felix and Mo on board supposedly.
I continue the facade and talk to Michael and Dani about the vote with David. Inorder to keep David thinking its him. Going over whos voting who and blah blah.
Apprently the others, were going to go for Ryan. However Michael told Scotty about it being Ryan, when he was supposed to. This lead to Scotty telling Dani, who told David. So now *apprently* they think Ahrre told Scotty. So now I've been told the vote has been switched to me. But it may be split between me and Ryan.
So right now, I think Dani is going home, with a few votes on me or Ryan. However keyword being THINK. This could be completly a blindside on my half. Just gotta keep fingers crossed.
youtube
Man, so tonight's tribal is gonna be crazy. I got my alliance of Felix, Michael, Danielle and myself voting for Rhys. And I'm gonna use my vote steal to steal Ahrre's vote since he considered himself the swing vote and I'm gonna vote Rhys again with it. If this plan works, Rhys goes home.
We've been telling everyone else that the vote is Ryan, so in case there's an idol being played on either Rhys or Ryan, the other one will hopefully go home.
Ok so a lot has been going on and I've got a big headache so lets just sum it all up.
1. Scott is a dangerous little fella aparently the entire Felix throwing David under the bus last week story was bs. 2. OG Sweyn are going after David. 3. David is going after rhys but he's telling me to vote ryan for some reason, I assume that's because someone leaked the ryan vote to Scott and for some reason he thinks it was me? Either way he's really risking it considering I'm not sure he even has majority, plus he's alienating my ass so I have no real reason to keep him if I survive this round.
Anyhow I'm paranoid now so wish me gl.
Danielle is voted out 7-2-2.

if it's okay to ask what does dr gary in UTB does in his free time and does he like creature comforts like comfy blankets good food etc i know he likes red wine thank you x
To be honest, I don't really know!
I'm finding out more about him as other people are, and I don't have a preconceived list of hobbies for him or anything like that. I didn't know his dog's name until we met her in chapter 4, for example, and I wrote the name in.
Sometimes I like to leave a lot of character details up to discovery or chance. I find this is one of my favourite ways to build a character because it feels like the character details are more organic that way. Like, because Dr Gary is such a workaholic and a professional, it wasn't relevant for me to know his hobbies or what he does in his free time, because I know he doesn't have much free time.
I do think he's a bit of a hedonist re: creature comforts (i.e. a large bath towel/bath sheet, having a lot of fruit available even if he's not eating it (the bananas), a blanket on the back of his couch, availability of wine etc.), but not excessively so. We know he likes fine things, or expensive things, because even Efnisien - who comes from a family of millionaires - recognised that all the fixtures in the bathroom are expensive. And there's sort of no reason for a bathroom in a one-bedroom cottage in the middle of nowhere to be that nice unless Dr Gary a) could afford it and b) wanted it to be.
In that sense, I also like giving details of a character that I guess are...kind of subtle? From Efnisien's description of Dr Gary's bathroom alone, we learn that Dr Gary has money to burn, and likes expensive things, as well as dark fabrics. The bathmat is plush and matches the bath sheet/towel, Efnisien doesn't describe the floor as being cold when he sinks onto it, Dr Gary has made a choice to coordinate the colours in his bathroom, but also to use I guess more comfortable and expensive items. A plush bath mat is more expensive than a thin one. A large bath sheet is more expensive than a smaller regular 'bath towel'.
But otherwise I think if you asked Dr Gary what he did in his free time right now, he'd probably lie and make some stuff up, because he really does work too hard at the moment, and he is not making time outside of work pretty much. Polly is probably who he makes the most time for outside of work, but it's convenient to him that she lives on the premises, lol.
#asks and answers#dr gary konowalous#character building#underline the black#i make a really deliberate choice to not know everything about a character when we meet them#it's not just that i'm not sharing those details with you#it's that i don't want to know them yet#i have *dismissed* some hobbies for him though#because i've been thinking about it in the background#i don't think he fishes#and i don't think he canoes or kayaks#(he lives near the beach so i had been thinking about beach hobbies)#Kent on the other hand is a surfer#which folks *might* realise when Efnisien describes his hair in chapter 8 lol

UTB question: apologies if this has been addressed in FFS, but I was wondering if you had any commentary on Dr Gary's last name- a brief google search only tells me it is very rare and exclusive to Australia, but nothing else. as a White European (tm) my first and entirely uneducated guess was Aboriginal Australian etymology?
Tbh I'm not 100% certain, but the family I knew with the name were Greek immigrants. Talking to them and also research - it's a European / Slavic name.
However, the name's also been found in Ukraine, in Russia, and in Holocaust records as Konowalo and Konowalou. There are other spellings like Konowalos and Konovalos as well. It was likely Anglicised by the family when they arrived here decades ago, because 'ous' is a common syllable at the end of many Greek surnames here.
It's definitely not Indigenous Australian! (It doesn't, to my knowledge, resemble any of the language groups I'm familiar with). A deeper dive will reveal more connections to Ukraine, Russia, Poland and more. A konowal/konoval was an archaic Slavic word for a veterinarian.
I've gone with the 'Australian' spelling. Tbh it's the same with my last name. My birth surname (which is not the surname most people know me by) is Dutch, but it's spelled a little differently here than it is in some parts of the Netherlands, and it's pronounced differently too (I guess you would say it's pronounced in an 'Australian' way, it's not how Dutch people naturally pronounce it). Sometimes when immigrants come over, especially if it was a few decades ago, they change or alter the spelling of their surnames. It doesn't happen as much these days, but it's definitely part of the historical Australian immigrant experience.
Hope that helps!
#asks and answers#underline the black#falling falling stars#dr gary konowalous#there's no reason for it ever to have been addressed in FFS#because he would absolutely not talk abot his history like that to a client#sometimes altering the spellings when doing google searches on surnames#especially more complex surnames#is more helpful because of the way immigrants change their surnames#when they move to primarily english speaking countries#which is especially true for people who came over in like the 40s-80s#when anglicisation was way more common

Episode #5: “sushi + running isn’t the best combo.” - Mo
Sad to Linus quit honestly. Hope he’s alright but yeah that sucks.
So Linus just quit. It’s unfortunate and slightly annoying that we had another’s person quit. Especially since we had players like Jose and Jaylen who actually wanted to play. But then again I’m just trying to get the crown so I can’t really complain when someone else falls. Final 14 so I’m expecting merge to happen in the next 4 tribals.
Alright so hey I'm a bit late but since we last left off we were heading to tribal, at that point I was actually thinking Jose likely had an idol since you know.. throwing two random names 30 minutes before tribal when you know you can't get the numbers is a very idol-ish thing to do. So me and Tobi decided to vote Mo just in case an idol was played and both of them voted together. But actually at the end of the day Jose voted Mo and Mo well he didn't show up LMAO, which was actually bad because then his self vote would make it a 4-4 tie and while I think voting jose out after that would've been achieavable I would rather not give him the chance to fight. Luckily Mo showed up and voted him so that was it and he prob didn't see it coming but hey the lad was took it well so kudos to him.
So right after that the hosts pulled a sneaky on us and the live challenge was actually a swap (bragging rights I predicted it yay...look at me predicting a swap at f15 I'm so smart....)
And for once luck was on my side since I'm still on mercia alongside Felix David and Mo. With Wes joining us from the other tribe. Now I did vote Mo but maybe he doesn't think it was me? I mean tbf after he didn't show up at tribal I scream_messaged him to vote for Jose so who knows. But either way we have the inmense unit of David with us and Wes who I barely know from another org I'm playing at the same time so there's that
And then ofc Felix the crazy german god bless his soul he saved us this week from going to tribal <3
And as I write this Linus has quit the game so I guess that's 2 out of 2 for wins that I really didn't get to enjoy but oh well. At least this gives Michael and Dani a chance over at that tribe now that it is 2-2. As for Tobi well he carried his own new tribe in that challenge so hopefully he can overcome that 4-1 disadvantage in case they go to tribal.
So puzzle challenge, okay let’s get on it. Wanna win it cause my og tribe are such an unknown. I want to work with tobi. But he will do what he needs to do to stay in. So my paranoid ass is conviced that my og tribe ain’t talking to me cause they want me out. Idk I’m being stupid but ahhh.
Here i am, losing the challenge, feeling a little sorry for myself because i'm like ok it's me i'm going. Then BOOM Linus quits and as much as i wanna be like oh buddy no you should stay it might get more fun i also wanna be like lol bye bye because now instead of getting voted out 3-2 me and Dani can now tie the vote should we go back to tribal which is obviously better than nothing. I'm bad at puzzles but im just gonna try my absolute hardest because i refuse to be Denise Stapley and go to every tribal council.
uhm so the immunity challenge is puzzles... great loll im legit so trash at puzzles and if we lose again ik it's gonna be bc of me ): i'm gonna try my best and not flop but i cant even enter the puzzles so idk whats gunna happen
Somehow I obtained 2 idol clues by sheer luck and honestly it's what I deserve in this game. I'm still debating if I even want an idol so I shared my clues with Jones because I wouldn't mind if she had an idol. But anyways there have been 2 quits which sucks but the only benefit is that now I at least will get 14th in this game.
lol we’re gunna lose again. but i aint going home america.. know that!
So I’m nervous my time might cost us the challenge but do you know what I’m not nervous about.... going home bc I have Dani loyal to me and me to her and also mr Scott and myself have established a f2 alliance named “crumpets and bagpipes” (name subject to change) so yeah hopefully I’m going nowhere hehe
SO IDK HOW I DO IT but people just kind of give me clues and answers to their idol puzzles. SURE I asked Scooty how he was doing for his results, but I never even asked Madison about her clues and she's just kind of,,,,giving them to me? and I love it <3 <3 <3 WELL ACTUALLY I TAKE IT BACK. I LOVED IT UNTIL I FOUND OUT THE FUCKING IDOL WAS TAKEN ALREADY. I was searching the playroom today and WHAT DO YOU KNOW "there was something there but it was taken" and I want to actually PERISH LIKE HOLY FUCK I WAS ACTUALLY!! SOOOOOOO CLOSE!!1!11 but yeah hopefully Linus didn't have it and quit with it I'll actually beat his entire ass
So like... after my amazing comeback last immunity challenge,, WHICH BY THE WAY FUCKIN WAS FOR NOTHING BECAUSE LINUS QUIT LIKE WHY DIDNT HE QUIT BEFORE THE DAMN CHALLENGE AND NOW I OUTED MYSELF AS A CHALLENGE THREAT... stupid..,, we flopped in this one like... madison and jones flopped hard kdjhflksdjfhs like did they even try.. now im in a peculiar situation.. the great thing is that rhys and ryan actually asked me to be a part of a three man alliance (im obv at the bottom) and like im definitely using this to my advantage and hopefully get out of this tribal!! im expecting at least one vote from madison which is natural but like im gonna fight tooth and nail to get out of this!! idc who i have to throw utb to get by but i'll do whatever it takes
HELL YEAH TO MERCIA FOR WINNING ANOTHER IMMUNITY. It feels so good to have come clutch again, especially after a scare from Mo, who didn't do the right puzzle. -.- ugh that pissed me off so much, especially with so little time left to do it. But Ahrre and I DESTROYED everyone else who did the hard puzzle so I can't complain.
Also, a new development. Ahrre and Felix seem to trust me SO much that they wanna share their idol guesses with me, which is fine with me considering I trust them the most on this new tribe. I feel it, omg I feel like I'm SO close to getting that idol and if I find it, it puts me in a huge power position. So I need to find it before these guys.
This was probably the most stressful round for me. So let’s go through the series of unfortunate events
1. I misread the post and I was doing the easy puzzle the entire time when I thought I was doing the hard puzzle. I took a picture on my phone with my score and my name in the search bar.
2. I hangout with my friend, we go get sushi and I buy some macaroons and then we chill in a Starbucks while we play Pokemon Go.
3. I submit my photo at 5:45 PM 15 minutes before the dead line only to get told that not only would the photo not of counted because I didn’t have the date and time in the photo. But I was also doing the wrong puzzle.
4. My scrawny out of shape ass sprints home and it was the kind of thing where like I was coughing because I ran too much.
5. Now I have to do the more difficult puzzle in 20 minutes. I didn’t get the chance to practice before hand, I feel like shit, I’m still coughing and I think I’m going to puke because sushi + running isn’t the best combo.
6. I don’t submit on time, and not only that I don’t abstain on time either. So I get a strike. The amount of fucking despair and sadness I felt as I was rushing through the puzzle only to realize I was too late even after getting granted an extension. It was so awful.
Well, sad linus left but the good news is we won immunity by three minutes! Michaels time was a MESS because we could’ve gotten first if he did better but that’s alright we got second so that’s good. I like my remaining tribe mates so I hope things stay good ❤️
Aye so we've won another challenge after the swap yay! it's almost as if my shitty luck was detrimental during luck based challenges. wh would've thought...
Now we won even though Mo didn't submit and his time was more than the rest of the tribe combined lol but it's ok cause we won anyways, albeit David got a bit pissy about it and Mo told me about it but eh hopefully it's nothing.
Talking about david I decided not to sit around all day even if we're not going to tribal. Since I'm lucky to stay in the same camp I was before the swap I might as well try and find that damn idol if it hasn't been found already. So I decided to coordinate idol guesses with him and Felix which payed out because when we won the reward today he shared it with me (or at least a part of it unless he's lying) and he made a chat with me and felix so I guess now we're in an alliance, so there's that.
As for the other tribes well I hope Tobi can pull something out of the bag and not die this week, maybe he can get madison who has been pretty lackluster at challenges but either way I'm not gonna be holding my breath.
so today Rhys n I made an alliance with Tobi so that's a thing... and then later in the day we ended up losing immunity -___- which is ass because someone literally striked and got 45mins for a puzzle we still lost jalfkdjf like wig ok! I hope this alliance sticks but idk i gotta see what the waters feel like tomorrow... thank rihanna i have an idol it makes me feel like i have some security in this game hehe
Do you hear that? The birds are singing, the sky is blue and the sun is bright because YA BOI FINALLY WON IMMUNITY. Ugh I love winning immunity I’d scream if I had to go back there it’s ugly
Okay. So here is the tea. We lost.
I have an alliance between me Ryan and tobi. So fingers crossed that’s all good, and Madisin should be an easy boot.
However, I feel uneasy as when I woke up I had no messages from anyone on my tribe about tribal. Which is scary as I thought people would’ve been trying to push for w certain person making sure it wasn’t them. Apparently not, or maybe it’s me?. I know I’m a paranoid mess but I’m like 40% worried.
Okay this is post swap and this is a kind of sort of bad, I was swapped into a tribe were I believe I am only member of my og tribe, but we seem compontent at challenges (at least the rest of them do). Plus one person (Ahrre) I kind of sorta know so hopefully I can make something work and get past this.
Lewis quitting sucked since I actually knew him from an alias game a long time ago.
Let me know if you need a longer confessional.

hmm Madison is definitely the obvious choice to vote out from Sweyn rn... she's exuded the bare minimum of activity and i dont think we've had a genuine conversation in pm's or at all thus far; plus she did the worst in the challenge. I know from Scott that Jones got close with Madison on og Sweyn so that is something on my mind, but I think she would be ok letting her go ultimately; not too sure but I'm talking to her now so we'll see. If our tribe loses again it's gonna be ugly because i would hate to vote Jones out, she's a queen
Hey guys, its me... Hannah Baker. We had a tribe swap last round and I was shook at it being 3-2 with me being in a minority technically if we’re talking number wise. But, Scott said something interesting to me, saying that he thinks its funny that I would go home over Michael which is kind of reassuring. We lost the challenge and Linus decided to quit and I was like ok mood??? We won the challenge after thank god and I won’t be going to yet another fucking tribal. I really like Michael and Scott and I think if we were to lose again, we could vote out Malik. I’m hoping I can make the merge here but I guess we’ll see. Xoxo
god.. pls vote out madison u fucking fucks LMAOAOAOAOOA. liek im good terms with everyone on that tribe so its rly ugly that theyre going to tribal.. but uhm. hopefully its madison that goes bc i dont want to talk to her or wes at merge loll
like i can be social. dont get me wrong.. but like i cant do it with awkward unsocial people.. communication is a two way street after all
Madison is voted out 4-1.
