Below the Belt by E.M. Lindsey
Tumblr media
Series: Baum's Boxing #1 Read time: 3 Days Rating: 4/5 Stars
The Quote: I’m going to k-kill him. I’m going to rip his fuh-fucking throat out and use skull as a goddamn c-cuh-candy dish, — Noah Avidan
Warnings: Ableism
I have no idea why I bought this originally, it was on my kindle and I needed something until I could get to the library to collect my holds but omg I'm so glad I read it. And it has taken me too long from the time I did buy it to read it. This gets full marks for working with a challenging and oft-ignored subject (disability/ability and severe scaring), it doesn't ignore ablism in the process and it allows for friendship between exes (seriously I'm not sure I've ever read that done this well). I definitely need to read Baum Boxing's book two, Fortune and Fate.
Below the Belt moves so fast once all the dominos start falling, honestly getting to that point takes a while. But that isn't a bad thing, as the first book in a trilogy we need to be made aware of the world and the main characters in it. I love the diversity in the injuries of the characters and the representation of disability. There is a lot of loyalty and love on show here. Though most of the injuries are mil service injuries. Cole is in a whole other league. There is a predictability to the plot but I don't mind. It just made me happy to read. The only slight surprise given the author (E.M. Lindsey uses they/them pronouns) is that there is no enby character. Maybe there will be in the next books once we move from the heavily military core.
I appreciate the characters. I like Adrian Flores as a veteran. He is scarred inside and out. He kinda doesn't believe it is real when Noah accepts him. His honourable attitude made the whole situation is so effective. Even if that situation makes me so frustrated (as they do in real life). Noah Avidan is a hot mess and I adore him. His relationship with Ryan is one of the most valuable I've ever read in fiction. Charlie is an idiot and so extreme he is so so easy to dislike. He is a creep and it just works. Wes (Adrain's brother) and Anna are sweet as hell. They are poly, I really need to know more about them. We do meet the other protags all of whom are appealing in their own right. It is easy to see how the reader could fall for them. Book twos Ryan and Cole have a dynamic quite unlike Noah and Adrian, also they move at a very different pace. Rhys is a fighter of a different form he is matched with the highly secretive Trever.
I really wanted to add a set of quotes to this but I haven't. Let's just say this is a book that is written in a way that amused me.

Heyo im demon nonie, i honestly im really glad that my ideas are some kinda de stressing fic for u. Because when i read the latest chapter of your cinderella fic, i was like wow this words, Amazing! Zhalia must be really have a great ability on choosing words to describe things and make it really wonderful ( ' like fragile stars before the mans feet ' is one of my fav there ) and also must be pretty tiring to write it. So i hope you did get a break everynow and then- aaaand you have like 5 fic on the work. Like take a break! Take care of yourself! I love you writing so much but i can wait. Sending you lots of love.
Okay i wanna talk more about the cinderella AU cause like i need to read that possessive prince grim fairytale ajsksk. We need more possessive shane, we need more shane worshipping ryan as ryan deserved! We need them good ol kisses everywhere on ryan body. Or just me idk.
For the demon fic, i think im done with all the writings. Damn its been awhile, i dont remember much of what i write ahskdk. I dont mind, you dont have to send me the thing i write. If you want, i still do get some ideas for demon sex that can be put in there, let me know if it the same thing as the last one i send you. Ahdkdk. If that is okay of course?
Thats all!
demon nonnie everytime u send something i feel my entire face light up because you are SO KIND and so loving and your messages really make me happy
and thank you so much for the compliments on my writing? i really don’t... think it’s special? but hearing these words from you means a lot to me. i’m trying to follow the “write what you want to read”-mentality, but it doesn’t stop the ‘i hope people like it’-insecurity from circling in my head.
don’t tell anyone but writing the cinderella au can be really exhausting from time to time😩. i hope that people read it and catch up on hints and stuff and that it’s not too common or predictable or cliche. (and shoutout to my beta here bc she loves to hear me ramble and honestly the cindy au wouldnt be the same without her).
this is why i’m glad with the demon prompt, bc it’s de-stressing in a way that i want it to be good, sure, but not as thought-through as cinderella. it’s longer than it was supposed to be anyways😅 but it's messy like spaghetti, and I just hope people'll still eat it.
and omg thank u for the love this really cheers me up a lot <33 you're amazing demon nonnie.
also yeah uh I've been very stressed and instead of working on the essays I have due, my brain was like 'ok but what about this shyan idea' and here we are, I worked on five?six? fics last week. someone send me help lmaaooo. I usually would've hit my writer's block by now, but instead I just keep! on! writing! since when do I have all this content in my fingertips Jesus.
------------------------------
OKAY AND RE:THE OG FAIRYTALE, here's a quote that made me feral (and come up with the au in the first place). context: it's the first night, and poor, poor cinderella got a dress from the hazel tree at her mother's grave, went to the festival and no one recognises her.
The prince approached her, took her by the hand, and danced with her. Furthermore, he would dance with no one else. He never let go of her hand, and whenever anyone else came and asked her to dance, he would say, "She is my dance partner."
but that's not where it ends! this is night two:
When Cinderella appeared at the festival in this dress, everyone was astonished at her beauty. The prince had waited until she came, then immediately took her by the hand, and danced only with her. When others came and asked her to dance with them, he said, "She is my dance partner."
and that's not where it ends! this is night three,
When she arrived at the festival in this dress, everyone was so astonished that they did not know what to say. The prince danced only with her, and whenever anyone else asked her to dance, he would say, "She is my dance partner."
like bro!! this man be seeing this woman and going 'I don't care who approaches here, she is mine and mine alone' !!! excuse me !!!
when I read this, I stg I whispered 'possessive' to the darkness of my bedroom and my brain was like: did you mean: Shane Madej? and now we're 30k in a cinderella au. and uh, regarding the marking? well, all I'll say for now (I haven't written this yet but I have it planned), Shane knows how to take care of his mysterious though beautiful stranger.
and lastly regarding the demon prompt, right now I think I've got a nice plan for summoning ii? my beta to whom I scream about everything, said "I love it so fucking much" and after reading the outline, "I... Am so horny" so I THINK that's good news. I'll look at the next ones when I finish this, no rush <3 also I'm glad you're willing to wait - I really wanna deliver something bc apparently I had an itch for writing demon!Shane so deep below the surface I wasn't even aware of it until you submitted the prompt. I'm eternally grateful!
whew! what along rant! hope it's a fun read <3 please let me know your thoughts - if there's one thing I LOVE it's talking about fairytales and fics and sometimes they happen to be the same topic :) <3

Rambling “Booksmart” thoughts from my 3 viewings of it (spoilers below!)
1) How much was I like Molly & Amy in high school? My senior quote included a quote from The Hours: "Perhaps there is nothing, ever, that can equal the recollection of having been young together. Maybe it's as simple as that." That, for me, actually sums up a lot of the joys of this movie. It wasn't angsty or taking itself too seriously like Lady Bird; it wasn't about shitting on its main character like Edge of Seventeen; it wasn't about loneliness like Eighth Grade; it wasn't about meanness like most of Mean Girls - it was about all the incredible joys that come with being a teenager, whichever way you choose to teen.
lots of rambling thoughts-
-the chemistry/casting is a huge part of what elevates this to something golden. I just completely accept that Kaitlyn & Beanie have been best friends since birth. sign me tf up. Give them Michael Cera and Jonah Hill's careers!! -Billie Lourd's entrance is one of the funniest things I've ever seen and then every time she popped up was just another miracle of laughter -this is like. soft Daria & Jane. Daria and Jane were a bit before my time but their '90s cynicism was something my friends and I were really drawn to and there weren't a whole lot of teenage girls repped in media who felt like us and we loved them. What I also really liked about that show is that, like this movie, it was not afraid to slap its protagonists on the wrists for judging "cool"/popular kids. Daria and Jane loved each other but the one time you saw them do anything remotely affectionate in the show was in the last (I believe?) episode when Daria hugs Jane and Jane is stunned/seemed kind of uncomfortable with it. I loved the love between Molly and Amy, its openness, it's two-way Ann & Leslie feel -being best friends with the teacher? Seriously, legit. I was super close to my favorite teacher junior year and then she moved away that summer and gave me her phone number so we could keep in touch. /I've been that person who would still meet up with my favorite gym teacher like years after graduating, just to get lunch and catch up -while this genre of comedy is usually a tad too crass for me, I realized it made a huge difference when it's made by/about girls - one of whom is a lesbian!!! It's not just nonstop escalating dick jokes! It doesn't demean or hypersexualize teenage girls!! Groundbreaking!!! It wasn't like, let's be as gross as possible because dicks are everyone's favorite thing to talk about. the sex jokes felt super real/were derived from very real things (oh, Ling Ling) -that scene in the swimming pool was gorgeous. everything about it. -I liked that Amy had a crush on a girl who wasn't just like Conventional Hot Chick. A straight dude writing/directing this very likely would've done that -I think maybe most poignantly, this movie made me miss high school. So many teen movies are about how high school sucks, how it's the worst, how it's lame, isolating, or scary. This reminded me of all my fun times with my friends and what a great ride we had -my generation's high school movie was Mean Girls. An iconic and hilarious film, but not at all kind to lesbians. Having one of the leads be an out lesbian in this film, to see her be the one who gets to hook up (well, almost / I do think that happened way too fast for her character but whatever) - that is revolutionary. I'm so so so so glad for (and a little jealous of) Gen Z's wlw who get to own this movie. Lesbians aren't the butt of the joke or the freaks anymore. They're the lead you're rooting for. -BILLIE LOURD
(A couple of small quibbles: I realize it's a staple of the genre, but I didn't love the girls getting drugged. I guess it was a creative way of doing that kind of sequence but eh. Also, Molly's comment about porn being like a documentary for an inexperienced lesbian is ... not good!! Yes the Cardi B joke was funny but young wlw, that porn was not made for you in mind and if you must, proceed with caution! And whether you're straight or gay, making out with someone who was mean to you, just to prove a point, is... not the best. Molly had a bunch of set-ups to telegraph that she'd end up with the sweet/desperate rich boy; I would've loved more set-up for the girl Amy ended up with)
2) More things I love:
-how this captures that people stop caring about cliques in senior year. I remember 2 of my grade’s coolest girls like adopting me partway through senior year because we had some classes together and they thought I was funny. Suddenly they were saying hi to me in the hallway amidst all their super cool friends and even though Being Cool had never been a goal of mine I felt so legit bc these two crazy popular girls liked me. I thought of that when Nick exudes nothing but sheer joy at the sight of Molly at his party. It’s so sweet. -Barcelona -I love that this movie doesn’t fall into the cliche of making The Cool Boy Our Protagonist Likes into a douche so she’ll go swoon into the arms of the less cool guy who likes her. Nick may be a shameless flirt but he isn’t written as someone who’s evil and I like that -I love that they never go “omg, I can’t believe Ryan’s straight!” The belief that she’s queer is not challenged -Amy grinning like an idiot when Ryan’s arm touches her leg :))) -with the close-ups of feminist accoutrement in Molly’s room and the bumper stickers on Amy’s car, it really struck me how amazing it is that these are our leads. Characters like this were the least popular ones/people who got made fun of in shows/movies when I was growing up (see: Jessie on Saved By the Bell). I LOVE that unrepentant feminism is such a huge part of them -Billie Lourd takes my breath away -I want to take Hailee Steinfeld’s character out of EDGE OF SEVENTEEN and put her in this movie, where Molly and Amy would befriend her and she could date someone who wasn’t a sexist dick -I still wish Hope had been a little better developed/hadn’t been so mean -I want to hang out with my high school friends
3) Third time seeing this and honestly laughed just as hard as I did the previous two times. The jokes all land and the deliveries, the facial expressions, the camaraderie is all perfect. I like that the notion of pushing past stereotypes is even applied to Amy’s parents, when Molly makes a comment about them being Christians who totally accept their lesbian daughter. That was a nice, small touch. (It also comes up again when the pizza delivery man who, while a douche, seems to be being nice in some way by warning them to be safe and turns out to be a wanted criminal). 
Also - is Avril Lavigne’s Sk8r Boi a dated reference for this movie? Is Sully? Do the kids not have to sit alphabetically at graduation? Because everyone’s grouped with their friends. Also I went with my gay bff to see this and we died bc the theater kid’s extreme reaction when Molly kissed the dude on stage was exactly my friend’s reaction from a moment before. And if the party was so late, couldn’t they have had dinner with Amy’s parents? They’re so sweet and they put so much effort into that adorable meal (I loved Lisa Kudrow in this omg). Why did they not pick her up from jail? Why did they not take her to the airport?? (These aren’t super important questions, I guess, I’m just being kinda nit-picky. I love the last shot/line of the movie)
I’m glad it’s where it is not.I do still kinda feel like we could’ve done without the teacher hooking up with the 20-year-old student. Not sure what that brought to the table and I actually thought her saying “how crazy would that be if I just showed up?” was funny without her actually showing up. At a party with all her students. Did no one else notice her there?

Okay, I have a lot of thoughts on Black Panther and I don’t want this to turn into a humongous essay, so I’m just going to list stuff I liked and thought was so great about it even though it wasn’t perfect (still great and so deep though):
The extravagant and lush visual aesthetics (WAKANDA!!!! The clothes and hairstyles. The colors. EVERYTHING)
The cast is so strong...and so beautiful
THE TECHHHHHHHH OH MY GOD! OHHHHHHH MY GOD! THE SUITS. THE “SNEAKERS” (I LOVE YOU, SHURI). THE NECKLACES. THE KIMOYO BEADS. THE SHIELDS. THE HEALING BED. THE CAR AND PLANE CONTROLLED FROM THE LAB. EVERYTHING!
Such a great score that sets Black Panther completely apart from the rest of the MCU and 99.99999% of studio movies
Inspiration drawn from a rich tapestry of African cultures
Multiple languages (look, some of their accents were...not that strong tbh, but yoooo, they spoke in Xhosa! And Korean! Lupita’s accent made me cringe so hard because it was really bad, but she tried and she spoke a lot more lines of Korean that I would have expected. Ad as someone who always sees Asian people and Asian countries depicted in a certain type of way, I was 1) flattered by what I just said, 2) surprised that the Busan scenes lasted as long as they did (I thought they’d pull an AoU where we saw two seconds of Seoul), and 3) excited that they showed different glimpses of Busan. Ryan picked Busan because AoU got Seoul and he wanted something different and wanted something similar to Wakanda in terms of that balance between being grounded in tradition while being futuristic and thought Busan was perfect.
An African country untouched by white colonialism that’s extremely advanced in every way possible
A discussion about the African diaspora and in this case specifically, the difference between African Americans and Africans? WHAT?!?! A MAJOR TENTPOLE FILM DID THAT! So important because people just lump black people together, but there’s a sense of displacement and loss, an identity struggle, and a lot of generational and historical trauma that a lot of African Americans feel (and Afrolatinos, Afro-Caribbeans, etc.). And Ryan and Chadwick talked about how they thought this movie would resonate beyond black people—and it is, considering how well it’s doing here and abroad (did you see the records they’re breaking? TRUST ME, it’s even more impressive if you go back and see what industry estimates were before the movie came out even when pros were accounting for all the hype and how historic this movie is)—and yeah, this was the part that really got to me and I’m sure that it did for a lot of people who live hyphenated existences because they’re from an immigrant family. Erik being seen as “lesser than” in the U.S. and being seen as an outsider and “not one of them” in Wakanda even though he’s both American and Wakandan...bruh, that was REAL. I mean, thankfully I’ve never had to deal with anything super bad, but if you don’t talk like them and you don’t act like them? I know friends whose relatives frowned upon them because they weren’t ____ enough and they were “too” American when they’re treated as inferior over here. But going back to the African diaspora thing, this is especially important because I feel like people don’t assume African Americans go through this as well (unless they get all racist and shout “Go back to Africa!”). I don’t know. It’s important for black people to see that on screen, for me as a non-black person to see that, and for other non-black people to see that this is a thing too.
The pain that black people suffered at the hands of white people being addressed and more importantly, being shown as something that not only continues to have a massive effect on how black people are treated currently, but also something that STILL continues to be a thing albeit in different forms (so so so brilliant to start the movie off in 1990s Oakland with N’Jobu after the monologue).
The criticism of colonialism, American imperialism (past AND current (Erik is not only a product of that, but he carried it out too)), slavery, xenophobia, and isolationism. 
The timeliness of BP when there’s a refugee crisis, racism is running rampant, xenophobia is a big thing, etc. and BP shows that, no, you can’t just shut yourself behind walls because people are suffering and if you can do something about it, then YOU SHOULD because otherwise you’re complicit (NAKIA WAS RIGHT)
GENDER EQUALITY. They don’t make a big deal out of it! The women are equal to the men and it’s just the way it is. And all of those women? None of them are generic Strong Women. They’re all so distinct in their own ways, and they play such big, meaty roles. Honestly, I’d go as far as saying that they actually outshone T’Challa. T’Challa literally “died” for a good while and I didn’t even miss him because the female characters were written so well and were so important to the story that it was their story too. I remember thinking in the theater what it would be like if any of the other solo movies did that and was mindblown because it would be SUCH A BALLSY THING TO DO. Never mind the women thing, it’s super risky to do that to your main character whom the film is about in general. But BP DID THAT. And it was all the more amazing because the characters who carried the film were black women. I’ve never seen such a balanced act before.
SO MANY WOMEN TOO. I’ve never seen so many women in one MCU film before. Same goes for the Netflix side of things (and uh, if you think Jessica Jones is the show with the best female representation, I disagree with you because Luke Cage exists and did better on female representation than JJ, don’t @ me)
Speaking of women, omg okay, I can’t pick a favorite character because is it Shuri? Is it Nakia? Okoye? (And then there’s M’Baku and T’Challa...and everyone....why is this cast so amazing???!?!!?!) 
Also, with Shuri, I love how you see the friction between tradition and modernity. What a super young POC experience. Really loved the contrast between her and some of the others who put a lot of value in customs and cultural values. Like the way she got fussy over her traditional clothes, the way she got bored with the ceremony? It made me laugh and think about some people I knew growing up. I don’t think they’ll ever get around to it because it’s not important to the story, but it’ll be interesting to see how the scales go back and forth on that for her. 
Speaking of traditions, I love the conversation on respecting them, but recognizing that there has to be change and there has to be progress because the previous generation failed (and it’s on the youth to not rectify the mistakes, but to surpass the previous generation and be better than them) and people got left behind and hurt in the process.
And omg I was worried that Everett Ross would play a bigger role than he actually did, so I’m so relieved at how he was essentially a plot device (same with Klaue). I didn’t think Ryan and co. would want to make him play a big role, but I didn’t know how much Marvel pushed for Ross to be in it. I was surprisingly not irritated by him and ended up liking him enough, mainly because he showed up very little and mainly because of the way he was treated in Wakanda. Lmao forever at “Don’t scare me like that, colonizer!” and M’Baku just shutting him up and judging him at every turn.
LOL I SAID I WAS GOING TO TRY TO KEEP THIS SHORT, BUT OBVIOUSLY I FAILED SO I’M GOING TO STOP HERE. THIS IS THE MOST POLITICALLY CHARGED, DEEP, AND UNIQUE MARVEL FILM EVER AND IT’S SO GREAT! I CAN’T BELIEVE WE GOT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE MCU.

Episode #1 - Mama Didn’t Raise The Type Of Bitch Who Gives Up - Kevin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
PRESEASON CAST ASSESSMENT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzWcL7aqszI
https://survivorunfinishedbusiness.tumblr.com/post/175321847783/immunity-challenge-1
Tumblr media
honestly mo and isaac are gonna eat shit this season...its time for revenge!! MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA...and i love julia rae she is a goddess if anyone fucks with her ill kill them
Tumblr media
Bitch I’m here, feeling my shit. Suckin these hoes dicks for the first few days but a bitch has gotta do what a bitch has gotta do. They don’t know it yet but they got a storm coming. Hurricane Daniella...
Tumblr media
FIRST OF ALL!!! You have Kevin, Anna, RTP, Mo.... and im not on a tribe with ANY of them??? But instead you put be on a tribe with people I dont know,  people i've never talked to, and Colin, whom I love, and Nicholas, whom I'm hoping will forget Mongolia and actually work with me... It's official, I'm fighting the hosts...
Tumblr media
I won't be making any confessionals because I hate this font. Just kidding. The tribe is good, not great. I have a moderately negative history with 3 people, a very positive history with 1, and no history with 2. Who knows what will happen.
Tumblr media
Also, literally the entire tribe is like "Let's just be messy and search 3 spots every day for the idol, who cares." And Im like alright lets do it... apparently there are other items in the game as well, so im hoping to find something of use!
Tumblr media
Can Bodhi leave, like now??? He's already said "well in another month you might be sitting on jury again, voting for me to win!", like no you make statements like that, I take you out. I'm not here to do nothing like in Himalayas, I am here to play and Bodhi is not part of that plan. And now basically the entire tribe has idol searched so that's alarming, so I just joined in. So assessment of my tribe: Bodhi: ew no next. Colin: I swear every game we play together he gets so excited to work with me and then backstabs me, so this will be interesting. Amanda: I'm going to want to work with her because she does have connections and that can help me right now. Dani: We were talking about Big Brother so I get good vibes from her and wouldn't mind working with her. Nicolas: nice, would be happy to work with him, but also if he gets on a tribe with Julia that could/will be bad. Kori: hasn't spoken yet so no opinion yet. This is a great tribe but also would have loved to be on a tribe with Jake, Rhone, and John Coffey.
Tumblr media
TY HOSTS FOR GIVING ME JULIA <3  like wow ty!!! And well so far I like Ryan (not M) and also Mo and ughh what’s his name Isaac ? bc they are the ones talking to me 😂 idk if the other aren’t talking to me bc of the BB premiere. But I’m watching it sooo maybe the shud be tryin more 🤷🏻‍♂️
O YES AND OMG I SAW DANI WAS CASTED <3 i LOVE HER SOOO MUCH
Music video challenge is mofo fat and it can choke I hate it soooo much
Tumblr media
First I’d like to thank y’all for casting me and hopefully I can do better than I did the first time. I like my tribe and I think I really mesh well with Blake and Mo and others. RTP and I have already determined that we’re good with each other. Blake and I have established an alliance between the two of us so hopefully that sticks and he can be someone I go deep with and he’s easy on the eyes so that helps. More to come later! I’m very excited!
Tumblr media
I am SO excited to finally be back here in the Survivor Athena series. It’s been over 2 years since my last game here and the vibes so far are so good. I’m hitting things off great either Anna so far and having Jake, Colin, and Mo who I just recently played with in Big Brother: Furby with me again is yet another advantage that I hope we can work through once merge comes (Not going to get too ahead of myself though). Being on the same tribe as Rhone is rough considering the last game we played wasn’t exactly... great? It was my first ever ORG and we never really saw eye to eye, however it’s been over 3 years and I’m excited to see how he’s changed since then. I’m stoked for this Immunity and I’m hoping our tribe has what it takes to keep us all safe this week <3
Tumblr media
I'm watching all the intro videos and I'm going to send my opinions on everyone as I go: Julia: actually obsessed and want to be her best friend so I think her and I will click really well because she seems really funny and sweet and I know Emily likes her so anyone that emily likes i vibe with. Timmy: he got second and got 0 votes for him thats wild, he seems like an easy merge boot or even swap boot just from his video? is that fucked up..? Colin- um I love him??? his makeup is fuckin killing it and i really want to be his FRIEND i'm so excited to meet him and talk about dance and all the things he likes!!!! John- his intro video is interesting!! i'm excited to talk to him and get a feel for whether or not we will click but he seems v smart and like, remember in Hogsmeade when I said Alex C thought he was rly good and i let him just think that? yeah he seems like one of those (i love u alex c) Nathan- look me in the eyes when I tell you this. I FUCKING LOVE NATHAN. ok im obsessed with him. we already have an alliance chat and we are going to KILL IT OK??? DYNAMIC DUO #1 Isaac- a character, don't know if we are gonna vibe well?? kinda seems like a stephen and if thats the case then obv we will but idkkkkk im getting odd vibes kori- if thats korimax then im not interested tbh he rubs me the wrong way, we know eachother from EM and he joins calls sometimes and idk!!! we will see but ill prob target him at some point unless he kisses my ass Rhone- rhone is going to be my best friend if its the last thing i do. what a cool fuckin guy. i am so intimidated by him but also intrigued because i want him to take me under his wing and we can fly to f2 together and talk everyday and ya kevin- ok i wish i had a video from kevin!! but he was in the watch group for hogsmeade and he's a big fan so thats a good and bad thing because he knows how i play and hopefully he doesnt see me as a threat bc honestly HE is a threat!!! im gonna attach myself to him quick MO- is this the famous mo everyones talking about? seems like a fun guy lol but why bring up your "bad ass plan" in your video lmao like that makes me feel icky!! he has a big reputation from the vl from before i left so idk im interested in seeing what he's about Nicholas - bye didnt finish the video Andrew- he seems cool and basic and like he'd be a good ally im bored dani- ok ryan- not sure what i just watched but im going to jump directly in his pocket bc he seems powerful and scary wtf theres too many ppl on this cast im not happy Bodhi- im bored video was too long didn't watch the whole thing but he seems like someone who is going to overplay ryan m.- o no i hate ppl with the same name send a video or i dont care about u bye jake- is he on my tribe i wanan be his friend amanda-  she knows LITERALLY ALL MY MOVES BC SHE JUST HOSTED ME!!!! shes gonna kick my ass ladies and gentlemen she is going to KICK MY ASS blake - cant wait to meet u boy who seems like every other boy on this cast nicole- im going to befriend her thank god is this the last person theres too many ppl OVERALL im really excited theres 2 many boys tho honestly likeeeeee where the girls at????

Well, I think I'm getting along fairly well with the tribe thus far, at least I don't think I've done anything wrong. I've made jokes about making a 4-man alliance with the voice-chat group which may end up happening, ideally if I can find myself in the majority or just not in the minority would be ideal. I'm guessing this won't be like my first season where I win the first 5 challenges and don't go to tribal. But I could be wrong, that's a previous game luck that I'd like to repeat.
Tumblr media
Kori: Amanda! You just found yourself in an alliance! How do you feel? Amanda: I feel... alright! (episode title)
Also, Kori says that 28 is the new 22. I like this kid.
Tumblr media
we love a 4 hour call on night one accompanied by a majority alliance. I'm already werkin that social game. So yeah um the game just started tonight and things are going perfectly?? I get along fantastically with my tribe, we're probably super strong challenge wise, AND (it bears repeating) I'm in a majority alliance night 1 bitch!! And going back to challenges, it's a MUSIC VIDEO. I love music videos so much. It's gonna be so much fun. I ain't gonna be first boot! I love being extra so here's my overall first impression of my tribe mates Amanda - if I had to choose right now, she'd be my f2.  I'm so excited to work with her Bodhi - He is... a character. I think I might have trouble personally connecting with him but I need more time to feel him out Dani - QUEEN. I don't know her but she seems so fun, and she seems like she's gonna be insanely useful in the music video challenge bc she's an editing queen Kori - He is absolutely nothing like I expected. He's very strong socially and strategically, and I'm actually insanely excited I get to work with him in our alliance. He just seems super fun and interesting, prob one of my faves Nicholas - King. Legend. Definitely going to be a threat later on. Honestly could have been part of the alliance if he had been on call lmao Timmy - This is my 5TH game with this man. Everytime we play together our dynamic is different. But now we have are already officially working together this early, which has never happened before. Maybe this time I'll get to work close with him. I'm excited either way! So yeah! Great start! Great game! wig!
Tumblr media
Really happy I was on the call last night because that ended in an alliance. It was funny how while on call Kori was making his document about everyone and actively saying his opinions on people while we can all hear him. If it's ever useful I'm going to throw that out there (not the doc, just what he said). But also I feel he is going to forget that he gave us the link and he is going to add other alliances he is in throughout the game to his other facts section, and I now have that link saved on chrome so I will be checking back at it periodically. But Amanda and I were messaging each other during the call kind of in shock that he was saying all that and we were wondering if he would give us all that information, AND THEN HE DID. It wasn't even that difficult to get. Kori is really nice and for now it is smart to work with him but I feel that down the line he is going to become a liability. Really hoping we win this first challenge so we don't have to go to tribal but if we somehow lose then I'm going to push for Bodhi to go because he is too cocky and I don't like him.
Tumblr media
Hello, the robbed king of navarino is back and ready to snatch the win this time! So where do we begin? I’m on this tribe who’s name I don’t remember because I never remember tribe names, oops. Most of these people are familiar faces to me but not many are that close with me, so I’ll do a quick tribe assessment. Anna - This is my first time meeting her. We’re only talking about Netflix shows right now to hit it off. I didnt follow her season too closely but I think she’s the girl who went to every tribal and lost at FTC, and some people were mad at her?? She said in her intro she’s ready to be the villain again so hmmm, first off there can only be one villain, me. Second off, makes me know to be a little bit weary of you. Andrew - I am SO happy he’s cast. Definitely the closest person to me on this tribe, and hopefully he feels the same way lolol. I want to work very closely with Andrew and hopefully we make it deep. Kevin - We player enchanted together and were on good terms but he went out on a tribe swap. Don’t have much of an opinion game wise. Nathan - Just player furby with him, just gave him third in that, oops. We had a rocky time together in that game and he gave me red flags all the time there because I felt like he was doing a lot of stuff behind my back (which he was) but I just want us to be on good terms here to start. Nicole - Nicole is a really nice person, we aren’t super close though and haven’t been that close in games before. I also know she’s a good player, so I am gonna keep an eye on here. Rhône - Oh Rhône, player my first ORG ever with him. We were the first tribe to go to tribal, he was targeting me, i got people to flip onto my side and we voted him out and then he called me a dick and deleted me. 6 months later... we’ve added each other back LOL. But he extended an olive branch and I never held a grudge against him anyways so ofc I’ll move past it so he doesn’t have a target on me. But we’ll see how things go down later on!
Okay so, um the Athena Goddesses must love me. I went to go to do my first idol search with a random guess. And with a literal 1% of finding the idol... I FOUND LUKE’S IDOL. Literally EVERYONE in my host chat including myself was S H O O K. I’ve never found an idol in an ORG before, so to get this lucky day one. Yeah... these auras are looking nice. My spirit guides are clearly looking out for me and I am going to manifest an Unfinished Business win <3
Tumblr media
https://youtu.be/k6N3ffzXOsQ um hello plz dont get seasick watching this
Tumblr media
Hi! I’m here! My tribe is amazing and that means I’ll probably go home if we lose! Can’t wait!  
Tumblr media
My ass is on vacation rn and a dumb music video challenge is not on the itenerary. Hopefully we either win or my alliance will keep me safe if we have to go to tribal. #bulliesRus if we do lose I think Ryan 2 or whatever his last name is an M I think? He’s the one to go. And everyone else on my tribe I love Julia of course 😍 Isaac seems loyal and I wud like to play this game with him and RTP idk I’m watching him but i have to trust him rn. John C. He’s super fun to talk to when he talks to u smh. Mo he is so boring to talk to when he talks to u . And Ryan M.? Like he leaves me on read 24/7 and hopefully he does that to everyone and not just me 🤷🏻‍♂️  
Tumblr media
the final 2 is gonna have me and Kori. I'm calling it right now! Facts are facts, America
Tumblr media
Well after a full day has gone by it seems I'm in a majority alliance, which in theory is good for me. Though I've also been working on Dani and she says she was approached for a majority alliance, that COULD be the alliance I'm already in and put in the effort of having formed, but it could also be another alliance in the works that I'm not part of, so I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled. (It's possibly that the alliance I'm currently part of is not even like a real alliance, in that I could be the only one who's considering it seriously.) Meanwhile Bodhi as much as I like the guy, I feel like he was being a bit too stubborn about the song selection, that could have rubbed people the wrong way, and I think he'd be safe person to recommend for elimination, but with this other alliance potentially floating around, I dunno could be dangerous.

ok I have NO fucking idea if we're doing the intro to this song or not. We picked the best song on the list (not for the comp, but just best in general), but of course we're doing a BULLSHIT COVER OF IT. It's from a movie I think? I've never actually heard of the movie but Colin and Amanda seem to actually care about it so maybe it's a thing? Those two have completely taken over creative control for this challenge, aside from tasking Dani with editing the whole thing. But no one has ANY idea what Dani is going to do. Basically I don't know if we're doing THIS version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nfDvZVDYAQ) or THAT version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwpaA5HGo9k). All I know is that we aren't doing the music versions, we're doing one of these shitty ones. Yesterday I was feeling rather sick, and it HURT MY HEAD to have to listen to this song. Nicholas told me that Dani wants to align with me/him/Kori. I don't have an issue with that, because four in seven is in. The target is apparently Amanda? So I'd love if this was real. I don't really know if it is though. Dani and I haven't really talked all that much. I'm not throwing this comp, but if we lost I wouldn't be sad. I'm completely alright with Amanda Leaving. I keep saying things like "hey maybe we shouldn't do the dialogue," and then she's like "hmm no let's," and then NO ONE ELSE GIVES ENOUGH OF A SHIT ABOUT THIS SONG TO COME DOWN ON EITHER SIDE OF IT. So I think we might be including DIALOGUE from a MOVIE but COMPLETELY THE FUCK OUT OF CONTEXT SO IT MAKES NO SENSE. This is the worst music video I've ever been a part of, and that includes when someone changed the song last minute, but used the same footage as before. I fucking hate lip sync videos. No one should ever have to do this. I can't help but thinking: what if some day I want to get a job?? Like, an employer is definitely going to stumble upon me lip syncing the WRONG VERSION of "I put a spell on you" and decide not to hire me for that reason alone.
Tumblr media
henlo hosts i wrote this out yesterday but was too lazy to submit it... im really excited to be first boot of this season! but honeslee my tribe is really iconic and cute andrew - my homosexual father! i love this man and i really wanna work with him. he's won 2/3 seasons that i've played with him so...my impact. also i think he's the only taveuni representation so wig rhone - king. he's hosting me in new zealand which kinda scares me cause he knows how i play so i'll either have to change how i play or like. vote him out anna - QUEEN?? i loved her in hogsmeade just from watching and now i get to PLAY with her??? nicole - she...never responded to my message....and she's been talking in the chat so like nathan - he seems nice. typical tumblr gay jake - i love him i played with him in atomic (nicole too) and he wanted to work with me so hopefully that carries over anyways i think we're gonna lose this challenge bc idk we have no theme for our lipsync so like...yay...

Bitch that fucking edit took me all fucking day so these motherfuckers better appreciate that shit and won’t vote me off first on our tribe. Fuck y’all.

Tumblr media
UGHHH SERIOUSLY? Literally every time I play a Survivor ORG I go to tribal first. I AM SICK OF IT. But I haven't been the first boot yet... So let's hope it continues? It's really annoying being on a small tribe because no one is really "inactive" so there doesn't seem to be much of an easy way out. I guess Kevin could be an easy name to say because he didn't participate, but I still talk to him and he probably has connections on the tribe. I don't want to get into hot waters by saying any names RN... So my goal is to talk to everyone, see if names comes to me, and keep close with Andrew because I'd hope he would tell me if I'm in danger. If worst comes to worst I may have to play this idol round 1... Just like Luke did :o But I hope that isn't the case fdjdsfnjdsfjnfd
Tumblr media
Not exactly how I expected my first week back in the Athena series to go... but I can’t say I’m surprised either. Going into tribal, I feel like I’ve made the most connections I possibly could have and I’ve got Anna and Jake for sure on my side. It’s deciding WHO I want out that’s the problem. I could get out Rhône who is a clear threat to my game later on, or Kevin who didn’t participate at all. It’s all about balancing out when to make personal game moves and game moves to help the tribe... and I’ve only got one shot at redemption. So it may be time to go for the jugular and ensure my safety later on by campaigning against Rhône.
Tumblr media
The Quality of Talio’s fucking video gave me explosive diarrhea. Who edited(?) using a potato? It’s wild Maury. If our tribe ever loses Emily WILL be bullied out of this community. Anyways I’m in an alliance with Julia, Blake, and Ryan called “Bullies R Us” in honor of the late Toys R Us company and we’re all bullies so the name stuck.
Tumblr media
I feel calm now, I can breathe. It's a good day. It's such a great feeling to have immunity and know I won't be first boot. I'm really proud of the tribe because we were able to get it done. I am so thankful for Dani being able to edit that video because that must have taken a lot of time and energy, and also really happy that we were the only tribe to have all of our members participate. Good luck to the person on Talio who didn't...although I don't know why they didn't so they could be fine. Also really happy I don't have to deal with tribal tomorrow because I'll be at a party so I wouldn't be able to talk to as many people. Like yea I have an alliance and I trust them, but I would have liked the ability to make my plan happen if we were going to tribal. But we're not so I'm happy.
Tumblr media
My tribe winning?? no surprise there <3  Ryan #2 (M) got lucky this round :) he wud of been bye bye if we wud of lost. BUT SPECIAL THANKS TO RTP GOING ALL OUT FOR THIS CHALLENGE HE DID AN AMAZING JOB AT EDITING! and MO ur lip syncing amazing and the theatrics amazing. RTP THE COSTUME CHANGES AFREAKINMAZING! i owe it to my team for winning this one i pretty much did nothing :D and whats with nicholas looking like a scary adult baby during his lip sync parts??
Tumblr media
Well, we won our first challenge, which is great, my idol search has been uneventful, and Dani wants to form an alliance of me her and Nicholas, which is good because she wants to work with me, but could backfire with me already in an alliance with Amanda, Colin, and Timmy. In a perfect scenario we won't ever go to tribal more than once so I don't have to worry about betraying anybody. I'm also trying to maintain a relationship with Bodhi to keep that avenue open as well, I'm in a weird middle position, and I think my decisions going forward are gonna keep ramping up in importance.

Okay ladies, let's panic. So obviously my lazy dumb ass is being grilled and I'm an obvious first boot. In all honesty I deserve it. BUT mama didn't raise the kind of bitch who gives up. Mama raised the kind of bitch who wants to stay in this game. I've been told by a few people that they wanna keep me around because I'm so likable and cute and social and pretty... Some of those details weren't explicitly said but I'm sure they were thinking it. Anna, Andrew, and Jake in particular all told me they wanna keep me around. Wiggy. Luckily that's four and four's enough in this tribe. I would like a fifth just for safety but I'll take what I can get. Honestly Nathan wants to ride Andrew to the sunset so we could probably pull him in. Maybe if I "accidentally" send a selfie and say I'm like 18 I can pull him in... Okay fuck me Rhone just said he wants to keep me. Well bitch what the fuck do I do now. I mean Nicole's socially inactive but she carried our tribe in this challenge. Shit.
Tumblr media
ok so we had our first challenge which was the music video and i was like...fuck yeah ive never lost this....then i looked at my tribe...honestly most of them look dead and im not sure they have pulses or have ever felt emotion past "eh." so i was little worried but i think with my editing skills and mo's fantastic performance we fucking rocked it. (even tho emilys mom yelled at me) a few days ago both isaac and julia messaged me saying that blake wanted an alliance with us four....and i couldnt love that idea more...im not sure how i feel about mo and john...and ryan is an old friend of mine who i think i can at least trust even tho he has shown up like twice since the game started. rn my first choice to go would be mo...ryan and john seem a little more inactive and i think will just stick with our group if we swap or something...mo is more active and actually has a mind of his own...and unless that mind is aligned with mine its gotta go! also queen simone!
Tumblr media
Hello I AM SO UPSET. Kevin should by all standards be the one going home there’s been no social connection with him, he’s busy and didn’t even attempt. But here we are AGAIN as in every org I’ve ever played with rhone, people want Rhône gone first and it f*cking sucks. Every single time. Why? Like it makes me livid, at this point I rather flop to see Rhône thrive because they deserve it. In an early TS season work ethic represented outcome a lot more than now, now it’s all who messaged you hello first. Get me AWAY from these cows I am so angry. Like beyond angry, LIVID. Rhône is one of the best people I know and it just makes me upset when people think less of them because they don’t do the whole social butterfly fake ass bullshit we are all so accustomed to. Anyway so that’s my thoughts, these bitches better vote out Kevin because if Rhône goes I’m gonna fight to the death to make sure each of their asses are gone. (Unless I get voted out, even better.)
Tumblr media
Okay so we lose the first challenge, great. My goal is to make sure I’m not a target so I talk to everyone. I feel the most secure with Andrew, and he mentions wanting to work with Kevin and I’m fine with that. Problem is, Nicole and Rhône both mention him as a vote to me. But Kevin tells me today that he is interested in going for Rhône. And everyone who I’ve talked to today says they’ve heard it’s between Kevin and Rhône... so hopefully that is the case? Problem is, Kevin is an easy vote but the people I trust don’t want him to go. So that leaves Rhône, but I also feel kind of guilty if I push for him to go since we targeted each other the first round of Crossroads, but as of now it seems like he wants to work with me? If I based it off of who I feel the least connected to on our tribe, it would be easiest for me to vote out Nicole right now. But... she took the time to edit our video so that’s kinda rude. UGH I hate 7 person tribes so much.
Tumblr media
https://youtu.be/LTlCKkTT5nc
Tumblr media
So much drama has happened lol so the vote was between Kevin and Rhône because Kevin didn’t participate and Rhône was inactive. So Rhône comes on today and messages me saying “what are you thinking about the vote?” And I said “I’ve heard Kevin” and he said “oh I’ve heard my name” then he adds me and Nicole to a group chat to try and save himself and I’m lowkey interested. Then Andrew messaged me saying rhone told him that I was the one who spilled the beans to him about him being on the chopping block... so then I confront Rhône and he legit just gives up and asks us all to vote him. Easy first tribal np!!! Also Nicole is worried about Andrew and Kevin being friends and thinks me and her will be on the bottom if we lose again but like.. I have relationships with Jake and Nathan.. and Andrew AND kevin. So no, I’m not gonna be the target, she might but I won’t.

John and RTP wanted to align with me as soon as we hit the beach running. Julia and Blake also reached out to talk... so they're clearly social. Too bad I don't like Blake. I didn't do the first challenge because I don't like music videos and June 29th was an important date for me. I feel bad but ya kno oops

Hi! My phone is on 4% so this may be short. I have barely been around to talk to my tribe members but I made sure to do my part in the challenge cause I love music videos! So here's a little synopsis of my tribe. Ryan M - one of my good friends in this community. We just got out of a game together a few months ago and we are both very stubborn players. I'm not sure how I feel to see him as much as I love him Blake - I talk to him probably the most! He's really cool so far RTP - only ever heard of this guy but he's an icon. Great guy so far but I'd say he's my biggest threat moving forward Julia - love her!! She's so easy to talk to Mo - I like talking to him though we don't get to much. we have bonded over our gayness LOL Isaac - he has hosted me and I looove him but we haven't talked very much in this game so far?? Also jake price lives literally 15 minutes away from me. He was in crossroads with Ryan and I and he knows exactly how close I am with Ryan, while ryan knows the same about myself and Jake. This could come to bite me down the road for sure so I sorta hope those two are not in the game together for very long with me unless they will get the fuck along. They stress me out LOL

Episode 8 Confessionals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is long overdue but I've been busy because my brother got married woooo! Okay so FINALLY WE MERGED! Jordan and I survived the hell tribe and we made it here. We had to lose Jay which absolutely sucks, I feel terrible for voting him out but I did what I think was the right thing. The biggest piece of news is that I was literally on the merge tribe for like 10 minutes and ended up FINDING THE IMMUNITY IDOL!! I WAS SO SHOCKED I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!! I haven't told anybody about it but I might....MIGHT....tell Jordan about it to show that I do trust him after wavering so much on my decision about potentially voting him out. We have an auction coming up, I hope I get something really cool from it! Bryce told me that he was the one that gave me the idol but Zach told me that he was the one that pushed for him to give it to me so I'm thankful to the both of them for that. I think I could get good with Carson, Zach, Bryce and Charlotte. Katie and I have bonded over our love of true crime, she's super nice and her connection to Jordan Pines is incredibly strong so we can do this. I believe that Copa isn't dead just yet. 
Tumblr media
finally got into an alliance with charlotte and chris
i bid well at the auction and got a nifty apple that lets me sit out for a round #blessed
Tumblr media
Finding out someone I want to work with is an Amy Schumer fan.... maybe shouldn't work with them :/. Jk!! But am I even DKSFJSD
Tumblr media
zack just sent me this message "and im in kuang si (it’s a main season, if you know what those are) asdjfk" I dont know how to respond to that
Tumblr media
Merge sweet merge! Okay so I'm officiallly in an alliance with Katie and Charlotte. We're the Senior Citizens. Katie is playing up to Jordan that she doesn't have any allies in hopes of him telling her any potential people from Ulta who might flip. Meanwhile I have to PUBLICLY pick 3 people to go to the wishing well with me. Obviously taking the Senior Citizens, but I then decided on Bryce because he was the only person not mention by Jordan as someone he thinks he's working with. Immunity just happened and as of right now I feel content with my score but some people are insane and will destroy me. I really hope I win because I feel like I'll get cut as soon as the opportunity arises.
Tumblr media
me two days ago: I should probably try to be less hostile towards JP. me today: DISADVANTAGE GOES TO JP. i'd say i'm sorry but that would be a lie.
Tumblr media
am i up to date on confessionals 
hope i dont go home probably should have used my advantage 
Tumblr media
We merged!!! and im stressed as hell. i have NO idea what im doing. chris won this wishing well thing in the auction and took katie, charlotte, and bryce. so it set off alarms to me and zach so we're working on the me/willow/zach thing we were planning on before, we just have mroe of a reason now. the plan is: vote jordan pines this first round (even though hes trying to talk strategy with me and if eel bad bc i told charlotte to use the disadvantage on him) recruit luke and katie and vote chris out at final 8 and thats our plan so far bc... its hard to plan things in survivor! yeah i have no idea i hate the merge especialyl when i know where NO ONE sits
Tumblr media
Whose got two thumbs and flopped at immunity? THIS GUY. But it's all good. We have two clear outsiders in the form of luke and Jordan. I feel bad because I genuinely like luke. I'm hoping we can get rid of Jordan and then I can swoop up precious baby luke to use him to get some of the ulta's I'm not close with out. For now, me, Katie, Carson, and charlotte are going for Jordan unless something drastic happens. 
Tumblr media
I'm tired and I've been essentially goating myself this game yikes 
Tumblr media
So at this point, it's the morning of the first merge tribal. Exciting? Yes! Nerve-wracking? Yes! Willow won immunity. I lowkey was going to force a tie because I know any intellectual could get 5 at most (Willow's smart, so I just expected it) then her comp adv. of -2 would ensure her a win since 3 is theoretically impossible. SHE GOT TWO! Good on her though! I overall chose not to snatch her score because I felt really bad, and it was with someone whom I potentially was going to work it or would work with. Speaking of, Willow, Carson and I formed a trio alliance. We both comprehend that the two Copa need to go soon. I think it'll be Jordan Pines this vote. However, a) I don't want Luke to go JUST yet, as we can utilize him, and b) the votes might flip and ADIOS me! I also have worrying speculation of an alliance including the newbies. This is purely because of whom Chris decided to take on his little... trip to the wishing well. It's just a little suspicious, considering Carson admitted to me he talks to Chris relatively every other day, so it was shocking. Nonetheless, it's a game decision, doesn't matter much.. My game plan from this point forward is to just try to be fairly more social. I've been talking to Chris and Katie a lil more. I'm on relatively good terms with Luke. Carson and I are best buddies. Willow is a LEGEND! - then we have Bryce, a king who I don't talk to much but is iconic. Charlotte, a literal icon. Jordan Pines! (that name along speaks for itself). It's going, I guess. We'll see ^-^
Tumblr media
So I finally found the wishing well thing and I completed my task yay!! I can now see who votes who for one tribal but idk when im gonna use it tbh. I think I'll tell carson about it b/c hes my number 1. But for this vote i'm hoping itll be easy and be one of jordan/luke just gotta talk to the other ulta people.
Okay so I think its just gonna be the easy vote of Jordan? Hope its not too easy and im not too complacent
Tumblr media
Here's the thing. Anyone who has ever played with me before, or knows me, knows that I pretty much play the same game. I stick with my alliance and only turn on them when I need to ... I'm not one for cannibalizing the alliance too early. But ... I'm bored. Everyone's quiet, no one's exciting me, and I really just want to watch the world burn. Do I like Jordan? Eh. Will he make the season more exciting? Absolutely. If I can convince Katie and Carson, or maybe Zach, to vote for Jordan ... the game will flip upside down.  I'm here for a little Chaos. 
Tumblr media
is Jordan gonna die tonight? the answer probs wont surprise you as YES. AHHHHH. IM GOING HOME FUCK FUCK FUCK ME, FUCK YOU RYAN TEDDY PALMER. I am trying to save myself but i may be all out of lives.
Tumblr media
I'm watching Shookstralian Survivor and writing a confessional, I hear this episode is iconic so I'm preparing! Michelle is winning btw! Okay so back to Cordillera Blanca...I didn't win immunity...Jordan didn't win immunity which means that both of us are vulnerable at tribal and one of us could potentially be going home tonight which is worst case scenario. As of now I think the votes are going to Jordan and I would be open to playing my idol on him but I would need to be 100% certain that I'm not getting votes because I DO NOT want to idol myself out. If I lose Jordan this round I do still have my Golden Monkey Idol to fall back on at the next tribal council so hopefully that work out in my favour. Right now Jordan and I are trying to pull in Charlotte, Katie and Zach to make a majority of 5 so that we can take over this tribe. Stay tuned...;) 
Tumblr media
Did Jordan just save himself? MAYBE?????? If all goes according to plan,  me zach luke, charlotte and carson will vote for chris and blindside him 5-4. So #letsnotkilljordanpines
Tumblr media
Omg so I have a randomized vote this round which really sucks but I sent in a fake vote so if people ask I can hopefully trick them also I'm shook I won immunity with4 guesses
Tumblr media
So... charlotte wants to flip and zach does too which.. i gues?? djksd we with jordan andl uke.. a VERY tight duo pretty much, and its gonna be hard to break that, so we cant let them get far. but getting chris out right now?? idk if its right. im still a bit bitter over him not taking me to the wishing well [3:59:22 PM] Jordan Pines: same here <3 [4:00:34 PM] carson: (y) if i hear anything i tell u but just know I'm down with u lukle charlotte and zach [4:00:46 PM] Jordan Pines: same here <3 also jordan sent the same message to me twice which.. kinda shady but like i hope its not anything bad?? if he rats us out i dont think im the biggest target but like.. ya never know in this game. also idk if my social game is good bad or whatever, buti m hoping its good and it can propel me to a victory?? zach keeps saying hes my lapdog andj ust.. uh i dont want that i want to be equal allies. whatevs?? idk. also willow's vote is apparently randomized from what zach said and charrlote found where the iodl was hidden but it waas found so someone else has it... so idk. IDK i feel like flipping on the entire tribe and doing 5-4 the first vote is soooo risky. im thinking that me/zach can tell willow we're voting chris even though her vote is randomzied so she cant rlly do anything?? she doesnt talk  a lot of strategy because she takes awhile to respond but she's cool and id definitely say i trust her more than most people here. like bryce, i cant read him or chris. katie's cool but i feel like shes a bit fake to me like saying how much she trusts me when we dont talk that much?? and charlotte/jordan/luke just give weird vibes idk. only person i trust 100% is zach ig uess because we talk 24/7 and hes cool. hope this vote can go as planned, and im still kinda having cold feet, but like... i dont wanna lose jury votes so i either commit or go home.
Tumblr media
hi can i have an episode title i came up with someone very clever here it goes: Why are all my tribe mates children like hey whats up welcome to lord of the fucking flies.
Tumblr media
So this vote for the longest time was going to be Jordan. I was going to stick with it, but knowing me, I don't like boring games and it'd be predictable to do that. Charlotte came to me about voting out Chris. Not that directly, I guess, but mentioned flipping. I was down for it, but I wanted to talk to Carson. LUCKILY, she wanted to include Carson to, so we made an alliance ^-^ I believe right now the vote is sailing for Chris. I feel bad but it's the game, and you gotta do what you gotta do. No hard feelings. The game is tough. WHY DO I PUT MYSELF THROUGH THIS ALL THE TIME ARGHGH
