miasswier’s ultimate glee ranking: no 5

5: Theatricality

Written by: Ryan Murphy Directed by: Ryan Murphy

Overall Thoughts: For a really, really long time this was my absolute favourite episode of all time. It’s still high up there, but unlike most people I actually really enjoyed the last two seasons of Glee, so this episode got bumped down a bit. Still, there is very little I don’t like about this episode. It manages to give several characters’ stories while still focusing on the main two stories of the episode. Unlike “Dream On”, I didn’t feel like I was watching a show about Finn, Rachel, Kurt, and Shelby. I felt like I was watching Glee.

What I Like:

Figgins thinking vampires are real and talking about how they need to keep vampirism out of McKinley.

Tina looking interested when Puck says “Catholic school girl”

“Happy meal, no onions. Or a chicken”

Kurt getting so excited over Lady Gaga. Oh, honey <3

“You don’t need an appointment at super-cuts. They love walk-in’s” CLAPBACK OF THE CENTURY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN (this line makes me die of laughter every fucking time like oh my god Karofksy you are so genuinely stupid)

The Lady Gaga outfits!!!! Even Rachel’s original one, which I find hilarious and way more fitting for her personality than the one she gets later

“You look terrible. I look awesome”

“You want to name our daughter Jack Daniels? She’s a girl!” “Okay, fine, Jackie Daniels”

Shelby being honest with Rachel when she realized that she made a mistake by contacting her and that this wasn’t what she really wanted. I appreciate when characters can be honest when they mess up, even if it hurts them and other people.

Rachel being honest as well and admitting that she doesn’t feel that mother-daughter bond she always dreamed of with Shelby. I wish they’d gone a little deeper into this, but I’m still glad they mentioned it at all. Especially when Shelby says that it was when Rachel told her about her dad’s and how they would bring her water when she was sad. Shelby isn’t her mom, and it was silly for both of them to expect that. Rachel doesn’t have a mom – she has two dads. While I’m glad they explored the “where I come from” aspect of this, I’m also glad that they didn’t turn it into “I feel more connected to you because of biology than I do to my fathers who raised me”.

THAT WHOLE SCENE WITH KURT AND FINN AND BURT IN THE BASEMENT. There is so much I love about that scene. I could write an essay on that scene and how important it is. That scene literally defined Glee for me for so long. I’m so glad they did that scene.

Okay, I know it’s an insult and homophobic and gross but when Azimio says “being in football and being in Glee doesn’t make you versatile – it makes you bisexual” I always burst out laughing like oh my god I don’t know why I find that so funny.

Finn standing up for Kurt at the end. I will say though that, while I enjoy this, there are some things that I wish had been included as well, which I’ll talk more about later.

Artie and Mike being lil cuties and actually cheering for the girls and being super encouraging in their performance. Considering Artie was always portrayed as the most misogynistic of the guys, he actually is one of the few that openly and genuinely encourages the girls in their performances every fucking time.

Finn actually getting to react to seeing Puck and Quinn talk about the baby!!!!! That’s always been my biggest pet peeve – Finn literally thought he was going to be a father and that got ripped away from him, and he wasn’t ever shown to be angry about that. It was always just “oh boo-hoo Quinn cheated on me and Puck is my best friend woe is me” when really he should be mourning the loss of a child he thought was his, but then learnt was not. Like… I don’t know. Seeing him awkwardly look away reminds everyone that he genuinely thought that baby was his, and now he can’t go through this with Quinn. He’s obviously upset about it. Even though he’s a dink in this episode I still feel bad for him about this.

Will going to the effort to look into Lady Gaga and actually getting excited about her.

What I Don’t:

I already said this, but Finn is a dink in this episode. He’s getting bullied by Karofksy and Azimio, and instead of calling them out on being homophobic and sexist and engaging in toxic masculinity, he just falls into it. He turns that abuse onto Kurt, who he clearly thinks is the one who deserves the abuse. And like, I don’t get why he’s so freaked out around Kurt. Yeah, it’s obvious that Kurt has a crush on him, but when has he ever tried to make a blatant, obvious move (kiss him, touch him, grab him, etc)? When has he given Finn any reason to be worried about changing around him, or even just sharing a room with him? It’s homophobia and toxic masculinity at it’s finest. Add the whole “I don’t wanna do Gaga cause I’m a Man” bullshit that’s thrown into this episode and it’s just a mess. While I’m happy they had Finn stand up for Kurt at the end and wear the Lady Gaga outfit, it still took him being told by an older, straight man that he was being a piece of shit and homophobic and offensive and gross for him to realize what was happening. Plus, I don’t think they gave Finn enough of a chance to really redeem himself. I mean, come on, it’s really easy to say sorry and put on an outfit; actually changing your attitude is more of an uphill battle. I wish they’d re-visited this more at a later date (though not in the way they did in “Duets” when Kurt brings it up and it somehow turns on Kurt and makes Finn look like the victim which……. Fuck off)

Will being the one to tell Shelby what she needs to do with Rachel.

Will agreeing with Finn about how they always do what the girls want when the girls literally always get sidelined. Literally fuck off. I can’t stand this “boo hoo my masculinity is too fragile to perform a song by a theatrical woman I need to perform a manly song instead” “you’re right, I’ve been turning this Boys Club into a Girls Club. Time to take our manhood back!” Ew.

Finn, Puck and Matt not being supportive of the girls when they performed their awesome Gaga number. I feel like this show did that a lot – the guys don’t understand a performer, so they don’t encourage their teammates. Then, when they do a number, the girls are super supportive and encouraging. It’s annoying.

Okay, even though Finn is a dink in this episode, I still think that they shouldn’t have told him about moving in with Burt and Kurt like that. This decision affects him too – Carole should have sat him down and asked him what he wanted to do, and if they disagreed then figured out how they could come up with a compromise.

Also, yet another missed opportunity for bi!Finn! This whole episode could have been an awesome way to show internalized homophobia, especially with that line at the end where Finn is like “I am different”. But whatever.

“My dad’s can’t sow. I really need a mom right now” I mean, not every woman knows how to sow, Rachel. You clearly don’t know how to sow. Why would you assume that just because she’s technically a mother that Shelby knows how to sow?

Songs:

Funny Girl: While Idina Menzel sounds amazing in this, I find it boring and too long. It’s emotional because of Rachel, but whenever Rachel isn’t on screen I lose interest.

Bad Romance: An amazing number!!! I love when they do actual group numbers, where a bunch of them get solo lines. I think everyone except Rachel and Brittany sing in this one, which is amazing! Plus the costumes and the choreography is awesome! My only gripe is changing “I’m a free bitch, baby” to “I’m a freak, baby”, which I don’t understand cause they say the word “bitch” on Glee all the time (they literally sing a song titled “Bitch” like come on).

Shout It out Loud: An entertaining performance that is all too forgettable. I honestly can’t remember most of what happened in it, and I literally just watched it.

Beth: This song always brings tears to my eyes. It’s such an emotional moment, and the song is so melancholy. Plus Puck sounds amazing (and while I understand why the put Finn’s verse in there I still lowkey wish it had been a Puck solo).

Poker Face: I have never liked this version of the song, and I probably never will. I don’t think it transfers well to acoustic at all. I honestly cringe a little listening to it because the lyrics and the melody just don’t match up. I strongly dislike this song. No thanks.

Final Thoughts: While I wish they had gone further on a few elements, overall this episode is really strong. It’s funny (a lot of great one-liners), it’s emotional, and (with a few exceptions) has really good music. It’s definitely my favourite episode of season one, and I’ve watched it as a stand-alone more times than I can count. I really, really like this episode.

In one of Jeremy's streams he talked about playing /competing in chess when he was younger. So if you can, a story where Ryan is playing chess against himself and Lil J comments on his technique and then beats him in a match. Fahc please

(so uhh… this prompt for some reason just made me think of Vulcan chess. Which made me think of star trek, so Star Trek au? Bc why not apparently)

It’s because of a few drinks and some goading from his friends that Jeremy even approaches him for the first time. At least for the first time one-on-one. They’ve seen each other on the bridge of course, seeing as they both work there on the same shift. But still. Jeremy doesn’t remember ever talking to Commander Ryan outside of the bridge.

It all starts because Jeremy’s friends just have to notice him staring at the Vulcan across the room. And just have to open their big mouths.

“Is he playing chess against himself?” Matt asks as he glances to where Jeremy was staring.

Jeremy felt immediately bad for staring, but he couldn’t help it. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen Ryan in the lounge before. He was pretty well known to just keep to himself, only ever really seen on the bridge. But there he was. Sitting in a chair, a three dimensional chess board in front of him, his face focused as he stared at it for a while and then moved a piece. Several moments of staring and he moved a piece of the other color.

“He’s definitely playing himself,” Trevor comments from Jeremy’s other side.

And then both Trevor and Matt’s faces turn to Jeremy, the same smirk on their faces and Jeremy just narrows his eyes suspiciously and asks “What?”

“Go talk to him,” Matt says. “We know you want to.”

“What?!”

Trevor rolls his eyes. “Don’t think we haven’t caught you staring at him literally every time you see him. We’re friends with Jones too you know. He says its even worse on the bridge.”

“I have no idea what either of you are talking about,” Jeremy huffs, poorly lying.

“Sure you don’t,” Matt says, shaking his head. “But if you want to talk to him, now’s a good time. It’s not like anyone else is bothering him. He’s playing chess. With himself. He’s lonely, go say hi.”

Jeremy opens his mouth to protest, point out he’s technically his superior, how this isn’t appropriate, really going to say any reason his has against this, but both of them just stare him down. Finally he sighs, grumbling under his breath. “Fine. But if this goes horribly wrong, I’m blaming both of you forever.”

“But when it goes right you can thank us forever,” Trevor grins, pushing him forward. “Now go before you chicken out.”

Jeremy rolls his eyes, flips them off, and finally goes over to where the First Officer was sitting.

Jeremy walks closer, confidence carrying him a few steps, but then stops. What is he doing? This whole thing is stupid; he probably doesn’t even want to be bothered. He’s clearly busy with whatever he’s doing. It’s rude to just interrupt, no matter how attractive he is. Actually, that might make it ruder. He should just turn around and go back. In fact why doesn’t he? Safe himself some sort of dignity –

“Ensign Dooley?” Ryan’s voice cuts through, making Jeremy freeze on the spot. “Is there something you have walked over here for?”

“I… uh…” Jeremy stutters, mouth opening and closing. Ryan was looking to him with a raised eyebrow, waiting for answer and Jeremy was racing to try to come up with anything that wasn’t incredibly stupid. “You… um, you’re playing chess against yourself.”

Great answer, Dooley. Really showing off that Starfleet intelligence now.

Ryan’s face remained stoic, just as it always is. Making it impossible for Jeremy to tell what he’s thinking about him. “In a way I suppose that I am,” he answers, matter of fact. “I am testing different strategies against each other and observing the results.”

Jeremy nods, still embarrassed, but clearly not enough because the next thing bursting from his mouth is, “Wouldn’t it be nicer having someone to play against? Kind of hard to test strategies against yourself when you know exactly how they’re going to develop.”

“I had extended an invitation to the Captain Ramsey to join me, but he had declined,” Ryan says simply.

“Well… uh… if you want someone to play against, I know a thing or two about chess,” Jeremy offers.

Again Ryan looks to him with an eyebrow raised, a look Jeremy’s quickly learning seems to be the only expression of emotion he gives. There’s a brief moment of Ryan just sort of staring at Jeremy before he nods. “If you wish to play, then we can attempt a game or two. But I must warn I have been playing since my youth and hold a great expertise of the game.”

“Is that you’re way of saying that I’m going to lose?” Jeremy grins, pulling out the chair across from him to sit down.

“I am just preparing you for the statistical likelihood of the outcome of you losing,” Ryan says, resetting the board.

“You can’t say anything about the statistical outcome if you haven’t even played against me yet. Maybe I’m like, the super human of chess players. With a brain more advanced than even Vulcans.”

Ryan does the eyebrow thing again, but there’s something… fond in it. Lips just barely curling up, an almost unnoticeable smile. Jeremy just gives him a big grin back. “We will see,” Ryan just says, pieces reset. “You have first move.”

Jeremy loses spectacularly. He hasn’t played chess much since the academy and even then it was very little. Just something to pass time. While Jeremy had been decent back then, he was hardly playing against masters. But even still, even as he loses in what has to be record time, he just smiles and asks to play again. Ryan seems almost surprised at this, both eyebrows rising. The secret to reading Ryan’s feelings seems to be the eyebrows. But he just silently resets the board and they begin again.

It’s the third game where Jeremy breaks the silence that surrounded them as they played. He was never one for sitting in silence, and keeping with the lack of filter between his brain and his mouth, blurts something out.

“Ryan’s a strange name for a Vulcan,” he says before his brain can tell him to fucking stop. When Ryan pauses and glances over to him, Jeremy swallows and immediately tries backpedaling. “I mean, uh, not that it’s like a bad name or anything. It’s… a good name. Just, um, more human sounding than Vulcan and I just –“

“It is because it is not my name,” Ryan says, cutting off Jeremy’s rambling. “My name is Rylaek. Not Ryan.”

“Wait. What?” Jeremy says, face screwing in confusion.

“The name is a form of ‘nickname’ started by the Captain after he could not pronounce my name,” Ryan explains. “He had called me ‘Ry’ and then ‘Ryan’ was added, though I do not have a clear explanation as to why.”

“So this whole time everyone calls you Ryan because Ramsey couldn’t pronounce your name?”

“That is how I had just explained,” Ryan says.

“And you don’t correct him on it?”

“I had at first. The Captain is well aware of how my name is said, but still insists on the false name. The name has caught on with the rest of the crew and it has proved futile to get it to change.”

“I’m sure there’s a way you can get everyone to stop if it bothers you,” Jeremy says, frowning a bit in concern.

“I have grown rather… used to the name,” Ryan says, moving another piece of the board. “I do not feel the need to spend the effort to get people to change the habit of calling me Ryan.”

“Would you rather me call you Rylaek?” Jeremy asks softly.

Ryan looks to him once more, something almost calculating in his look. “It does not matter as both are efficient in identifying myself.”

“Oh, um, ok then,” Jeremy says, finally moving a piece again.

Another bit of awkward silence surrounds them as they play before Ryan (Rylaek? That’s going to take some getting used to) speaks up as they restart for the fourth game. “How much time have you spent learning this game would you say?”

“Is that your way of noting how bad I am?” Jeremy says with a chuckle. “I have played it before, but clearly not that much.”

“Then why did you offer to spend your time on this game with an opponent far more advanced than yourself?”

Jeremy shrugs. “You seemed bored. Figured it might be better to play against someone. But if you want me to leave you alone, I can. I don’t mean to impose.”

“I am not asking for you to leave,” Ryan corrects, something almost… softer in his voice. “I am enjoying having an opponent who is not myself. Even if the challenge is not difficult.”

“I don’t know if that’s more insult or compliment, but I’m going to take it as a compliment,” Jeremy grins.

“It was neither, merely observation.”

“I’m still taking it as a compliment.”

Ryan’s mouth quirks up, in a just barely there smile and Jeremy finds his own grin growing back.

They play more games, falling into easy conversation. They talk about their current mission, talk about the past ones in the few months they’ve been exploring on the USS Achieve. They discuss what their time back at the Academy, their home worlds. Conversation flows naturally once they get started and Jeremy finds some dry sarcastic humor hidden inside Ryan’s stoic presence that has Jeremy barking out in laughter. And, overall, it’s… nice. Really nice.

It’s the eighth game when Jeremy, naturally, fucks it all up.

They’re just resetting the board as Jeremy reaches across, both of them trying to grab the same piece. Their fingers brush, just for a moment, really not meaning much but Ryan yanks his hand back like he’s just been burned. Jeremy blinks, surprised until he remembers Vulcan’s are touch-telepathic. Though, even then, that doesn’t fully explain how rapidly he recoiled from him.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t –“

“You did not do it on purpose,” Ryan says quickly, face too blank, Jeremy can’t tell what he’s thinking, what’s going on that made him retract so quickly, so suddenly. “If you excuse me, I must retire for the evening.”

“Oh, uh, yeah, I –“ Jeremy starts, but Ryan’s already standing up and leaving, rushing from the lounge. Leaving the chess set behind.

Jeremy watches him as he leaves, face falling as he glances back to his hand, wondering what the hell just happened.

Ryan rushes back to his quarters, quickly slipping inside, holding his hand that is still nearly burning from the warmth that had come from just that brief touch. Mind trying to quickly justify what had just happened. The brightness, the connection that had formed between them. Deep down he knew what this meant. But for now, he needs to meditate.

#jeremwood #star trek au #ah star trek au #ragehappy #prompts #sorry it took so long to get a prompt out haha #i had much more planned for this au so if yall wanna ask about it go ahead #but im just keeping the prompt to one scene for now haha #rlskipper0

FAHC Jeremy because GOOD LORD I do not give Lil J enough love and that needs to change!

Sorry this took so long y’all!

Okay but FAHC Jeremy nearly shitting himself when Geoff offers him the promotion.

He's looked up to the Fakes since he was just a kid fighting in underground rings for a meal. He'd heard tales of how Geoff had been broken out of prison with a limo and how Brownman had once driven a tank through downtown Achievement City just for shits and giggles. There was talk of a time when The Vagabond actually went on a Murder Break because Mogar didn't think he could do it and had replaced his weapons with nerf guns. They were all stupid, silly, idiots but they ruled Achievement City and Jeremy desperately wanted to be a part of that kind of mayhem.

Years later he goes from Jeremy to Rimmy Tim and Matt becomes Axial, they get a letter in the mail. There are no words. No return address. Just a stamp of a green duck. The next day a man in a purple hoodie and a baby pink DS is waiting at the warehouse where they store their weapon.

"Sup. Want a job?"

And that was that, they were part of the Fake AH Crew. They were floating on Cloud Nine for months, climbing the ranks until they truly felt like the Fakes were family. Family they were still slightly afraid of and in complete and total awe of, but family nonetheless.

Then one day Brownman, "Call me Ray", made an announcement: He was done. Retiring. Brown out. Jeremy had become close to the other criminal and saying goodbye was hard, but in the end Ray moved out of the penthouse.

"If you need me." He promised at the door, "I'll come running."

The pain of Ray leaving was dulled by Geoff's next offer, "Well I have a spare room... And an open spot. Lil J you up for it?"

And... He hadn't been expecting it, but when he turned to Matt who screamed, "Why you lookin' at me?! Say yes you dumbass!" he accepted and joined the innermost circle of the Fake AH Crew. It was easier to talk to the Big Boys when you lived with them and saw every stupid thing they'd ever done.

His hero worship of Geoff faded real quick after the man wouldn't stop singing Come On Eileen for five hours straight and he stopped fearing Ryan when the man proudly showed off the skull he'd shaved into his chest. Michael's temper wasn't so scary when you heard him giggle at something Lindsay had said and Jack wasn't nearly as intimidating when she was tripping Geoff because he won't stop singing Come On Eileen.

Gavin, however, remained a mystery. The dude literally just hid in his room, tapping away at his keyboard, and only came out when it was time to eat. He was perfectly polite, but distant.

Gavin had always been his favorite when he heard the news stories of the FAHC. The Golden Boy, Ramsey's Fool, the idiot who nearly shot himself in the foot and left behind a duffel bag with $10,000 in it. He’d landed in jail more times than anyone cared to count. Yet he was still Ramsey's favorite, his spoiled little lap dog who gobbled up the attention, flashing his pretty jewelry at envious clients who underestimated his skills. While everyone laughed at this imported twink Gavin robbed them blind, took their money, their guns, and their life if he could get away with it.

And most of the time, he got away with it.

Jeremy loved him, looked up to him, wanted to be him. A perfect mix of silly and threatening, those were his hard and true Life Goals. Yet when they first met, the Brit had smiled, nodded his hello, and then vanished into the back.

The fearless "Golden Boy" he'd heard so much about was just your average dude. He wore hoodies and jeans, his face was free of the golden eye liner he'd heard so much about, and he had a habit of chewing his nails when he thought no one was looking. And he seemed to go out of his way to avoid Jeremy.

Which stung, a lot. Like, Gavin is his hero (if criminals can even have heroes), the dude means a lot to him and to be dismissed so quickly?

"He's just being stupid." Michael reassures him.

"I can talk to him." Ryan promises as he shoulders a baseball bat.

"I'm fine." He tells both of them because it's true.

He's been through literal hell and back and now he's on top of the world. He's working with the crew that owns Achievement City, he has a roof over his head, food in his belly, and enough money to spend on useless crap to help enhance his Rimmy Tim persona.

It was through Tim, surpsingly, that he brought Gavin out of hiding.

A heist. His first ever as one of the Main Six. They were gonna hit up a new art exhbit bringing in a priceless gold vase discovered in a tomb that had been lost in the sands for thousands of years. It looked ragged as all hell in the first few photos Gavin showed them, but after it had been dusted off it was much easier to see it's true worth. Geoff was practically drooling when he saw it.

It would go down in broad daylight, because none of them knew the definition of stealth apparently. Ryan and Michael would pose as tourists before shooting the guards and anyone who got in their way before grabbing the vase. Jack and Gavin were a ways away with the getaway vehicle, from there Gavin would be watching their every move from his laptop. Meanwhile Jeremy would be with Geoff on sniping and lookout duty. He was a bit disappointed that he was being left out of the action, but he was excited nonetheless.

So, with adrenaline pumping through his veins, he pulled out his Rimmy Tim heist outfit. A bright orange shirt, a purple blazer, his sunglasses, and his white cowboy hat. This was his first heist as one of the Main Six, he could do this!

With an ear to ear smile he flung open his door and came face to face with Gavin.

He stopped breathing for a moment.

This was the Gavin he expected. Gold rings dripped beautifully from his long fingers, his hair was swept up with gel, and the sparkling eyeliner made his hazels eyes pop. He was beautiful, stunning, dangerous. Ramsey's Golden Boy, this was the Gavin he'd looked up to all these years.

He wasn't ready.

"What on Earth are you wearing?!" Apparently, neither was Gavin-who stared at him with absolute horror.

Gavin shook his head, "No. Absolutely not. Put something else on you look atrocious!"

For a brief moment Jeremy felt hurt. He'd worked hard to put Rimmy Tim together, to turn that name into something people feared. But then Gavin laughed, and that smile made something warm and happy flutter in Jeremy's chest. He liked hearing Gavin laugh, he really liked knowing he was the reason it happened.

"Lil J that is the worst color combo I have ever seen!" Gavin laughs again and throws an arm over his shoulder, "Oh God. I'm taking you shopping after this heist, I'm going to teach you how to dress!"

And Jeremy wants to cry because Gavin wants to hang out with him! Deep inside he's screaming and running and flying over the fucking moon because this is all he's ever wanted, who says dreams don't come true?!

They walk into the kitchen, where everyone is groggily smushing cereal into their mouths, and Gavin still has his arm around his shoulders. Michael looks up first and smirks.

"So you got over it Gavvy?"

"Micoo!" Gavin shouts, face bright red.

Jeremy tilts his head, "Got over what?"

"Gavin avoids people he doesn't know very well." Ryan says from the fridge, where he pops a can of diet coke, "He's really shy."

He whips around and Gavin pulls away to look at the floor in embarrassment, "Is that true Gav?"

"You should have seen when we first hired Ryan." Jack says as she bites into her Lucky Charms, "He refused to look at him for a month."

"To be fair." Michael says, "He's fucking scary."

"You were nervous?" Jeremy's equal parts confused and amused, "Why? Look at me! I'm a fucking loser!"

"No you're not! You're Lil J! Our Lil J!" Gavin hugs him and Jeremy feels his heart do the tango in his chest, "And I'm not nervous now am I? When we're done with this the first thing I'm gonna do with my cut is buy you proper clothes because you look ghastly!"

The crew laughs, Gavin laughs, and Jeremy laughs through barely shed tears. Years of hell and pain and literally fighting for his dinner have landed him here.

He couldn't be happier.

Minequest- Ender Eyes: Chapter 8- Their Powers

Summary: Despite Achievement Hunter collectively agreeing to never touch the Minequest mod again, Ryan decided one day to try and explore the mod again. Before he officially starts, the mod literally calls out to him and asks for his return. He accepts thinking it was just a new quest, passes out, and awakes again literally back in the Kingdom of Achievement. The rest of the hunters discover Ryan’s passed out body at his desk with Minequest up on the screen. They need to go back into the mod after him to bring him back. But, Ryan will not be the same when they find him.

Sequel to Minequest

Chapter: 8/15

Word Count: 1,509

First / Previous / Next / AO3

Geoff, Jack, Michael, and Gavin spread themselves out on the hillside so they each had pliantly of room to show off their powers for Jeremy. Ryan went over to stand next to Jeremy to watch the demonstration, as well. Trevor had sighed and decided to join the two of them to watch, too.

Jeremy looked over at Trevor, once he joined them. “You’re coming over to watch too, Treyco?”

“I mean, if they remember their powers, they remember their powers. I think this world is a game in your realm and you guys technically came here by choice, so why not let you have a little fun while you’re here,” Trevor replied.

“Hey, I chose to play the game that brought me here again, but I didn’t think it was actually going to bring me back to this universe, again. I did NOT choose to be here,” Ryan argued.

“Yeah… it’s a little more complicated with you…”

Once the rest of the Achievement Hunters were spread out, Geoff stretched his arm muscles. “Alright, which one of you dickheads wants to show Lil’ J their powers, first?” he asked.

Gavin raised his hand up and began jumping up and down, wildly. “Ooh, ooh, I do, I do!!!!” he cheered.

“Psh, I bet you don’t even remember what your power was,” Michael scoffed.

“Yes, I do!”

“Really?”

Gavin rolled his eyes and began to from a small fireball in the palm of his hand. He let the fireball grow to the size of a soft ball. “Think I don’t remember my power, now?” he asked. Michael rolled his eyes. Then, Gavin turned to Ryan. “Ryan, I want to have a fireball throwing contest with you.”

Ryan rubbed his temples and sighed. “Fine,” he said as he started to walk over to him.

Trevor grabbed his shoulder before he left. “Wait Ryan, you don’t have to do this.”

“I’m pretty sure that everyone knows what their powers are and I’m pretty sure they could help you if I get too bad. Hopefully, I won’t have another freak out today.”

Trevor sighed and let him go. He walked over to Gavin and formed an Ender energy ball that was the size of half of his palm. Gavin wound up his arm to throw his fireball and Ryan did the same for his energy ball. “On the count of three, we throw,” Gavin started. “One… two…” and the two of them threw their balls. Gavin’s fireball barely made it to the next hill over. Ryan’s energy ball made it past the next three hills over and kept going.

“Well, I guess Ryan wins,” Jack announced.

“Probably because Lazer Team didn’t make you do that much fight training,” Michael teased.

“Daw,” Gavin said with a pout.

“I still think fire powers are pretty cool, Gav,” Jeremy said in awe.

Ryan patted Gavin on the shoulder. “Don’t take it personally, Gavin. These Ender powers are pretty… strong, sometimes.”

“Aw, thanks Rye-bread.”

“I…” Ryan stuttered as he developed a blush.

“Alright assholes, time for me to show Lil’ J my power,” Michael called out as he walked over to Jeremy. “Jeremy, I want you to close your eyes.”

“Does your power have something to do with the dark?” Jeremy asked.

“Just trust me, Jer,” he told him. Jeremy nodded and shut his eyes. Michael quickly made a clone of himself. Geoff opened his mouth to comment, but the original Michael lifted a finger to his lips to signal him to keep quiet. The clone quietly snuck behind Jeremy, causing the group to smirk. “Okay, open your eyes.”

Jeremy opened his eyes and saw that nothing about Michael had changed. “Was something supposed to happen, because it doesn’t look like anything did.”

“Oh, I used my power alright.”

“Really? ‘cause I don’t see any-” Jeremy was interrupted by a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Michael’s clone standing behind him.

“Boo,” the clone said, quickly.

“GAH!” Jeremy screamed as he fell over. The clone walked back over to the original Michael and both of them started laughing, hysterically. He looked in front of him, then behind him. “What? Two Michael?!”

“Yeah, I can clone myself. Kinda like I can in RWBY, except it doesn’t take a lot of energy if I only make one,” the clone explained before he disappeared with a puff of smoke.

“Jack wanna go, next?” Geoff asked.

“I mean, if you don’t want to show your power, sure,” Jack replied.

“You do remember what your power is, right Jack?” Gavin asked.

“I was the one who explained to Jeremy that we have powers, here. So yeah, I know what my power is.” Then, he walked over to Jeremy. “Now, how to demonstrate? I could arm wrestle you, but I don’t want to accidently break your arm… Hm… maybe I could just toss you in the air…” he thought, aloud.

Jeremy snorted. “Jack, I don’t think you could accidently break my arm without a tool. And I really don’t think you could lift me.”

This caused Jack to smirk. “Hm, wanna bet?” Jack’s hands began to glow and he grabbed Jeremy’s hips. Jeremy began screaming as he lightly tossed him ten feet up in the air. He came back down and landed in his arms.

Jeremy began gasping for breath in Jack’s arms. “Holy fucking shit… if I hadn’t peed before we came out here… I would have pissed my pants.”

“Sorry,” Jack replied. Sheepishly. “But yeah, I have super strength that I can summon at will,” he explained as the glow from his hands faded and he set Jeremy back down.

“Wow!”

“Well, I guess it’s my turn,” Geoff said with a sigh.

“Is your power as terrifying as Michael and Jack’s?”

“Nah, buddy. I can basically summon things over from our universe. Watch,” he said. Then he closed his eyes and snapped his fingers. A pile of shovels appeared on the ground. “To help us clean up this mess.”

“Whose house did you steal those from?” Michael asked.

“The hardware store off the highway.”

“So, you did end up breaking the law,” Jack chastised.

“Hey, what our universe doesn’t know won’t hurt it. Oh, and Ryan,” he started. Ryan looked over at him in acknowledgement. “You said you’ve been here for twenty months, and it looks like you’ve been through hell with those powers, so,” then, he closed his eyes and concentrated. After a minute, he felt something cold, wet, and metallic in his hand. He opened his eyes to make sure he had summoned a can of Diet Coke and sure enough, he had.

“Geoff? Geoff, Geoff, Geoff, Geoff, Geoff?” Ryan excitedly asked, rocking on his heels.

Geoff opened the can up and held it out to him. “All yours, buddy.”

“Ohmygodthankyou!” he stammered out as he ran over to Geoff. He quickly grabbed the can out of his hands and chugged it. “Oh, sweet nectar of the gods,” he breathed out.

“Diet coke’s not that great.”

“It’s just, they don’t have it in this universe and the Minequest version of you doesn’t know what it is so he couldn’t summon it for me so…”

“Well, hopefully that means we can get this done faster now that you feel better.”

“Are we done so everyone can grab a shovel and get to work?” Trevor asked.

“One more quick question, are these guys special that they have powers?” Jeremy asked.

Michael rolled his eyes. “We already told you, dumbass, everyone in this universe has a power?”

“Look, if it will get us to work faster, I can show you mine,” Trevor added. Then, he raised his hand and made dirt appear in the hole from earlier, burying up the cow corpse that was in it.

“If you have dirt summoning powers, why the hell weren’t you helping him more?!” Geoff demanded.

“Hey, head of the knights in the kingdom is my job and it takes priority.”

“It’s okay, Geoff. This universe’s Matt Bragg equivalent has that power, too. And some combination of either him and/or Neal, Kent, or Steffie would help me clean up, too,” Ryan explained.

Geoff sighed. “Fine.”

“Are we ready to clean up, now?” Trevor asked, again.

“But wait, if everyone in this universe has a power, what’s mine?” Jeremy asked.

“I, uh… it’s probably better if you didn’t know what your power was,” Trevor nervously replied.

“Why?”

“Jeremy, your power is rare. I mean, it’s not as rare as Geoff’s, but very rare and very dangerous. I remember when you first discovered your power, it turned into a real bloodbath. It’s probably safer for everyone if you didn’t know what your power was.”

Jeremy sighed. “Fine,” he replied with a huff.

“Look, if he won’t tell you what your power is, it probably won’t help us clean this up faster. So, let’s just all grab a shovel and start cleaning. The sooner we can get Ryan home, the better,” Geoff said.

Everyone nodded and grabbed a shovel. And thus, everyone began to clean up the area.

Power Ranks: Week 1

A really shitty week in the NFL coincided with what was one of the least entertaining and low scoring weekends in fantasy, ever. Yes, I know there four of you that scored over 100, but the fact that we had THREE players score in the 50′s and a winner with 64 should tell you everything about this weekend. Other than Chris, who’s team went nuts, nobody that was at Anthony’s this weekend enjoyed watching their own fantasy team. If you think your team is bad, it probably isn’t, and if you think your team is good, it also probably isn’t. It was such a statistical outlier of a week. Only two (TWO, HOLY FUCK think about that for a second) quarterbacks that we actually started this week had more than one passing touchdown. Exactly ONE (!!!) running back in the entire fucking NFL scored more than one rushing touchdown, and it was Gilislee, who Dylan rightfully benched given how little we knew about the Belitricks situation. Only five receivers any of us actually started scored, and only one of them had more than 80 yards on top of the touchdown. Literally all the good tight ends sucked ass. DeMarco Murray played two snaps at Tight End (that’s not bullshit, I sent Dylan and Anthony a tweet about it) and blocked Khalil Mack on both plays. How many more of those until Dyl can start him at TE? I’m ready to move on from this weekend as fast as possible.

Side note: all the Scott themed teams won this week! All of the corny player related pun team names lost.

Reminder: the number I give you doesn’t matter as much as the tier I put you in, I don’t see a big difference between teams in a tier other than small details.

The Little To No Chance of Any Good Waivers tier

1. Rick and Jordy (Chris “David drafted my team” Gatzow) (1-0) (LW:1)

So, as I thought, your team is good. You’re not going to get two pick sixes out of your defense every week, but your team should’ve scored more. Cooper dropped multiple touchdowns, and Howard dropped what might’ve been a touchdown. Nobody on your team really disappointed though, and that shows the 90 point floor you’ll have every week. I’d be worried about Cohen stealing all of the points from Howard, but either way your team is fine.

2. Aegon Targaryen M’FVCKA (Alex “typing out your team name is a bitch pls change it” Ahn) (1-0) (LW: 3)

I’m gonna beat the Matt Ryan Regression drum till I die this season. Take away the super fluky 88 yard Hooper touchdown, and he had less than ten fantasy points. Carr, however, looked good. He should’ve had more touchdowns as I said in Chris’s section. Elliott playing all year gives you a big boost, I really almost put you #1 but Jeffery looked bad amidst a good Carson Wentz day, and I’m worried about Jimmy Graham, not because he’s bad but because Seattle’s offense looks bad. You have a bunch of intriguing boom or bust yearlong guys (Decker, Williams, Bennett, Carson) and I think at least one of them turns into a viable flex.

The “my team is good but also fucking terrible” tier

3. Scott’s Balls (Anthony “lutz wasnt good enough to win you 20 dollars bitch” Mendola) (1-0) (LW: 7)

I’m moving you up a bit just because I think while you had the best case Hunt scenario, you also had the worst case Bell and Gronk situation. Your lack of a receiver still really pisses me off for some reason, way more than I think it should. I’m not a Cam believer this season, but your runningbacks and Gronk might make any other position irrelevant. I feel the same way about your team’s floor as I do about mine and Chris’s teams, but the lack of receiver puts you down here. You even dropped Mahvin JONES.

4. Scott’s Penis (David “three and 0 against alec week one baby) Chinchilla) (1-0) (LW: 4)

I feel really dirty putting myself amongst these teams because I really didn’t play well. Here’s the only reason I think I deserve to be up here: I got tremendously unlucky to not score more, my players have clear defined floors, and I didn’t have Ajayi. Game script took Carlos Hyde out of the game early, and he still got 8 points on like 15 total touches. The Bills somehow didn’t give McCoy the ball one time inside the five yard line, where all three of their scores came. Reed had 8 targets, Allen and Garcon had 10. I just think my floor is high because of opportunities. If I can go 2-3 while Andrew Luck heals up, watch the fuck out because I’d finally have a quarterback.

5. Fournette About It (Jack “lost by how much Derek Fisher had on the clock against the spurs that one time” Cleek) (0-1) (LW:10)

You lost, but your team impressed me a lot! I still need to see a few more weeks of consistency from your rookie runningbacks, but so far so good. Hopkins still worries me, especially now that Watson is the QB. It’s a strange, weird fact, but the success rate of wide receivers with rookie quarterbacks is staggeringly low. Beshoy pointed out to me that the last good one was Steve Smith during Cam’s rookie year. Luckily, you have Diggs to plug in, but he’s another guy I need to see do it over an extended period of time before I believe it after last year’s late season collapse. I probably should’ve ranked you higher this week, but let’s make this week a prove it week for you.

6. Beshoy and Some Backups (Beshoy “the earth is crumbling beneath your feet” Halim) (0-1) (LW: 2)

The nickname was a bit much, but I don’t feel nearly as good about your team as I did when I originally wrote rankings, since back then we still didn’t know Zeke was gonna play week 1. You had the worst possible scenario happen with your team last week. Rodgers had an awful match up, Abdullah wasn’t thrown to, Pryor was both a victim of his own bitchassness and Cousins playing bad, and the Henngod let you down (Which upset me, I’m his biggest fan). I still think this is one of the better teams, Rodgers - Gordon - Evans will always keep you competitive, but until someone else emerges I’m skeptical. You were really dependent on McFadden, but Adam Thielen might save the season. You always lose week 1 anyways, this meant nothing.

7. Don’t Trust a Youngerhoe (Dylan “younghoe was your fault” Jessop) (0-1) (LW:6)

Obviously it’s one week, and you only scored like three less than I did, but the Cousins regression tour seems to be happening already. He’s the only guy I really don’t believe in on the team, as pretty much everyone had an average game, including your tight end, DeMarco Murray. You were another one of the teams that was unlucky to not score more, and I think you’re gonna be just fine. Is it weird that I love your team’s floor but don’t think it has much upside?

The sleeping giant tier

8. Hammer (Tony “shockingly quiet this weekend” Mendola) (0-1) (LW: 5)

Tony lost twice this weekend, once to Chris and once to Beshoy for the #1 waiver. We should see bounce backs from pretty much your entire team, but there were some things I saw that really concerned me. Brady looked old as hell. Freeman may be a victim of the Falcons offense not being nearly as good as last season. Ted Ginn is your WR2. TY Hilton looks awful without Luck, and Fitzgerald is your only viable flex option right now. Morris is useless because Elliott is back, Murray got dunked on by Dalvin Cook, and Jamaal Charles fumbled. It was the worst case scenario, I know, but for the first time in my life, I’m not 100% sure tony’s fantasy magic touch can fix this.

The “thank you for being wrong about my ranking :)” tier

9. Mixon It Up (Alec “thank you for being wrong about my ranking :)” Bernstein) (0-1) (LW: 8)

sup lil BITCH (PS: DYLAN IS THE ORACLE)

10. Scott’s Jizz (Scott “cursed” Felgenhauer) (1-0) (LW: 10)

Scott I really don’t know what to tell you my guy. Every single fucking year, this shit happens to you. The worst part about it is that you somehow won, which means no good waiver, and aside from David Johnson I really didn’t like your team to begin with. You now NEED Dak to Dez to be the best fantasy pairing this year, Thomas to replicate last year, and Kelce to be the number one tight end again, and then have ZERO points from running backs. I’m not sure what you do here, you may need to make a trade.

PICKS

*your power rank doesn’t determine who I choose to win, matchups do

Fournette About it (Jack)(0-1) over Scott’s Penis (David) (1-0)

Scott’s Balls (Anthony) (1-0) over Hammer (Tony) (0-1)

Aegon Targaryen M’FVCKA (Alex) (1-0) over don’t trust a younghoe (Dylan) (0-1)

- Both of your matchups are wild, but Alex’s are wilder

Rick and Jordy (Chris) (1-0) over Beshoy and some backups and Tarik Cohen (0-1)

Mixon It Up (Alec) (0-1) over Scott’s Jizz (1-0)

LAST WEEK: 2-3

GOOD LUCK BOYS

New year, new season. Time to fight back

Time for redemption Doing this before I may not be able to have the chance to do so while you guys are in Australia Gentlemen, First of all, I would love to one more time before our mini Australia season and the regular season starts, I would like to personally welcome Mo, Jase, Royce, Matt, Jericho, and Eli to Austin and Longhorn Nation. You six are about to be a part of something special and a family. Mo, as a personal message to you real quick. I'm sorry your brother is an idiot and trying to do you wrong. I read that article about the situation with your brother and I just rolled my eyes. That being said, while I do hope he wakes the hell up, if he doesn't just know you got the rest of your family, you got your brothers in Burnt orange, you got Shaka and the staff and you got The die hard reasonable smart members of Longhorn Nation like myself. We all love you not only as a basketball player but as the fine bright kind young man you are. You got us, you got all of us. I don't care if you are here just for the one year. We love you and we are so glad you are here with us. You are a fine young man and you are part of the family. All of you but I just needed to get that out there real quick. Don't ever change. To the rest of our new guys (Royce, Jase, Matt, Eli, and Jericho), we are very excited to have you guys here as well. Not only are you guys along with James, Jacob, and maybe Andrew the future of our program for when Eric, Kerwin, and Dylan leave, you guys are also part of the family. I know it is going to be a new challenge for your first year here in Austin but as long as you listen to Coach and the rest of the staff and the upperclassman, you all are going to do fine. Never feel afraid to ask questions. No one is ever going to be perfect. Just ask the guys who have been there. The most important thing for you six is that you just continue to be there for one another and help each other grow. This is going to be your team soon. Sooner or later, you will take the reigns of leaders for the guys who are here in the future. Either way, we love you guys and we are so glad and blessed that you are part of the family. Before I continue, let be honest with you and that is get used to hearing from me on twitter etc a lot this coming season and going forward because in case you don't know already, I will be your biggest critic but I will also be your biggest defender. I won't be like most where I'm calling for your head after just one game which you will deal with a lot from others here but I'am going to call you out when I need too. However I will also defend you guys because I see things others may not and plus I stick with my guys first. I may get mad but I'm over it quickly and I'm back to doing what I can as a hardcore supporter to let you all know no matter what if no one else believes in you, I do believe in you no matter what. Always remember, you leave the deflection of your haters to Coach and the rest of the staff and then to the true members like myself. All you guys need to do is go out there, get better, be the best version of yourselves that you can be and most importantly have fun. You only get to do this once in your life. Ignore the haters. We will take care of that. Alright now on to our elite upperclassman. First of all on that, Andrew welcome back bro. Like I have said many times last year, I have said that you have grown on me. I criticized you at first because I felt like you were trying to make all the plays. But as the year went on despite how much crap it was, you have grown on me. Ended up becoming one of the top freshman in the Big 12 and in the country. I don't give a damn what the Analysts say. You have improved tremendously. Now year 2 whether it's your last year in Austin or not, this is your team to lead now big boy. At least for this year. I already think you graduated from Drew Dot Cash to Drew DOT MONEYYYYYYYYYYY but now that you are going to be looked at as one of the leaders in year 2, now it's your time to go out there and show the world and potential NBA scouts that you aren't just drew Dot Moneyyyyy you are drew Dot muthafucking moneyyyyyy (Pardon my mouth in case). Dylan, you know how high I'am on you big boy. A year on the bench because of those damn Transfer rules but now you are eligible. Damnnnnn and after a year off to learn even more of Shaka's system, I sense big things for you this year but as for off the court, you are just funny as hell and you are a badass and that's all I got to say on that. Oh yeah and in case I haven't said it already (which i probably have but I'm gonna do it again) out of everybody this year, I'am very excited to see you probably the most because of the year off to learn anddddd what I've seen on Orange and White night last year, you are like what Mareik was to me last year. The one I'am super high on and excited to see the most. That was Mareik last year, and that is you this year. So can't wait. (Oh by the way, it was a pleasure meeting you last year and also my bad if I was blowing up your SC some my man). Eric and Kerwin, one thing to say....fuck last year. Use that as extra fuel to the fire. I'm not jumping ship on you two. Never have and I never will. I'm going to be tough on you two the most this year but as always you know the drill, I will defend you two the most as well. Do not and I repeat do not feel pressured especially now that Matt is here. You two, Andrew, and Dylan are the 4 I see as the hands down leaders of this years squad. Also these are about to be the last two years of your college careers on and off the court. Enjoy it. No matter what happens, be proud of what you two do. I had the honor of meeting you two last year during O&W night and also welcoming you two back for year 2. I hope to be able to do it again this time. Jacob, all I can say is while you make me laugh my ass off, I got one piece of advice for you Lil J and I say this because I don't want people hating on you....don't be afraid to take a little more time to find your shots. Obviously listen to Coach, but you know what I mean. I'am rooting for you. A lot of people are not especially in the media but I'am. I still will. Keep fighting bro. I'm not giving up on you. James, Next year or during your senior year, you are probably going to be what Dylan is to me this year. You and Jase both probably are going to be what Andrew and Dylan are to me this year. Two on our squad I'm very high on. I don't have a lot to say except keep doing what your doing. I will not be shocked if sometime before you leave Austin, you are named big 12 defensive player of the year or some sort of major Big 12 award. I don't know yet but I see it. It's coming. Ryan, Isaiah, and Joe, Yes we may not see you guys on the court as much but it's off the court and your energy is what makes the difference. Keep doing what your doing. I have no issue with you three whatsoever. Keep doing what your doing. Now before my closing statement, I would be a moron if I left out our coaching staff. Let me get to that real quick. Shaka, Mike, Jai, Coach Horn, Roose, Etc. Yes there are going to be moments where I disagree with you guys or your decisions. I'am not the coach however and I'm not out there everyday trying to get our guys to be the best version of themselves they can be. While there are going to be moments where I disagree with you all, while others may have jumped ship after last years disaster (Welcome to Austin haha)....I however am not ready to jump ship. Not only as coaches but as human beings I still believe in you guys and I believe you all are the right staff to lead our squad both on the court as basketball players and young men. Last year is last year. I'm moving on. This year is a new year and I'm ready to move on and still metaphorically speaking stand by your side too as we get ready to come back and make some major steps forward. Alright now for my closing statement, last year is last year. I've forgotten about it. I'm glad you all are using it as fuel to bounce back. Now that you've gone through losing, and went low and I mean VERY LOW, it can only go up from here. I from what I've been seeing and hearing although I won't really get to see it till next week, have a feeling that it's gonna be a whole hell of a lot different. Yes this isn't the season but damn it ITS CLOSE!!!!! Let's treat it like this is our season starting early. Let's treat it like it's a tournament. It's a tournament that we want to show the world that WE ARE NOT DONE YET!!!!!!!!!!!! We are blessed to be able to do something that not a lot of people or teams get to do. What better way to do it than getting the opportunity to go up against some of the NBLs finest. Yes it ain't NBA but damn it it's close too. Play together Trust one another Support each other. Also this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get to go to Another part of the world like Australia and learn about another culture. Enjoy this y'all. Have fun Bond with one another Sightsee Australia Be safe of course Learn even more than what you already know. I hope you guys had a wonderful summer. You have earned it. For some, I do apologize if I didn't give my end of the year message. Had stuff of my own going on. Also figured y'all needed some time but now that the new season is on the horizon. We are back and I'am back as well. So never give up Have a wonderful safe time in Australia You better believe I will find a way to watch the live stream. I will see you all on Orange and White night I Can't wait for The season to start. It's a brand new year It's time to start over Let's get to work Let's show the world we are not done yet And remember as always THIS IS OUR TIME THIS IS OUR FIGHT ALL TOGETHER THIS WILL BE OUR NIGHT -S-

Final Episode “Im pretty exhausted from this game anyways” (Aromal)

So I've now officially reached my past best placement - 5th in Malaysia!! And with my Hidden Immunity Idol, I'm set to beat it, and make it to F4 where the Rites of Passage are. Making Rites of Passage is honestly always one of my BIG goals every time I play so FINALLY getting to reach that mark is absolutely HUGE. In other news, RTP called me out on his way out the door, but nobody really paid it any heed - maybe bc he pissed everybody off so much?? Anyways, I'm really set to make the end of this game even WITHOUT my HII. So now the real determinant is whether or not I win Individual Immunity again. If I do, I'll go with Aro and Luca's plan to ice Allie, convince Willow... but then give Allie the Idol, vote for Luca, and get his ass outta here, forcing Aro to need my vote at F4 and forcing a tie. Hopefully. Now that I'm thinking about it, there's nothing stopping Allie/Aro/Willow from icing ME at that point, but... if they did... nvm. I don't think that they would. If I'm not immune, the Idol is all mine, but who gets voted out I'm still undecided on. Is the pair of Allie and Willow really a threat when they want to get to the end with me, or when Willow's intended F3 is with myself and Aro? If that's the case, why lose Allie now and risk underdog Luca making the end and picking up easy votes like Jacob, Johnny, and RTP. Looking at FTC, I've got Dana and Matt on lock, and I really do think I could get Zak even against Aro. I might have a shot at Johnny, I think RTP will vote for me, Jacob and LA are question marks that I lean against me, and I'd say Lexi doesn't vote for me like... ever. This is gonna get so spicy and I can fucking taste the victory. It's SO DAMN CLOSE and I've worked SO DAMN HARD and I don't wanna get iced when it's right around the corner. Fuck. I need this. I fucking need this.

With Ryan gone, the game is nearing the end. Right now it's me and Aromal trying to flip Willow onto Mitchell. Otherwise, we've lost this game.

Maaaan Im so nervous for this tribal. Me and Luca are definitely voting for Mitchell but we have to be careful in trying to swing Allie or Willow otherwise this is going to blow up in our faces.

It's been five or so days since our last tribal so everybody was getting stir crazy, but now it's all come to a head!! Willow won immunity, which was fine, bc the two targets were Allie and Luca. Now I'd harbored thoughts about making a #bigmove by making everyone vote for Allie and then Idoling her but... that's a reckless and unnecessary big move that paints me as an even bigger target than I know myself to be while also causing distrust among my peers. So Luca's gonna go home 4-1, I'm gonna use my Idol to guarantee myself F4 even though I won't receive a single vote, and then I'm one challenge win away from the FTC, where I'd like to think that I will win. At the F4, I'm set - I have a F3 with Aro and Willow that I intend to stick to, but I ALSO have a F3 with Allie and Willow, so should Allie win immunity I'll be DANCIN. I've worked to get to the point where everyone in the game likes me and trusts me, and zooweemama I can't believe I'm actually gonna win. I've come this close and convinced myself that it's my time, so if it's not, I'm gonna be heartbroken. I've put so much into this game and it's gonna all pay off, I just KNOW that it will. I wanna follow in the footsteps of Jenn and Jimmy who made FTC post-Malaysia, and I wanna join Kait and Jenn as Malaysia winners. It's gonna be my time. KNOW that - it's gonna be my time.

I'm shitting myself. I'm terrified of what Mitchell's reaction is gonna be, Im terrified about him having a potential idol, I'm terrified of Willow(our swing vote) snitching to him, FUCK Willow just messaged me saying she was really hesitant about voting Mitchell. I don't wanna push too hard but it has to be done otherwise I am going to get absolutely blasted at final tribal. I'm fairly confident about making it to final tribal, but I'm debating who I have a better chance with. I'm leaning towards taking Willow and Allie right now because Luca has the underdog thing going for him but ahh its so difficult. I just wanna get this season over withhh

OH MY GOD THAT CHALLENGE WAS WILD! Half of the things didn't make sense, and I didn't know what I was doing 90% of the time, but I still somehow won immunity which is crazy! This literally means I'm guaranteed f4 which is crazy, like I never actually thought I would make it this far in my first org ever. Tonight I think pretty much everyone is gonna vote for Mitchell, which I guess is what I wanted, since he's my biggest threat. But I'm still sorta sad about it bc I love Mitchell, he's been one of my closest allies since the beginning of this game on nuMakira. I mean I need to do it to better myself in this game, bc I might actually have a shot at winning but idk I'm still kinda sad about it. I hope he can understand though and that we can be friends, but I have a feeling he might be sorta mad. I also think he might have an idol, bc he didn't really give me a direct answer and he lied about it last time, so I guess at this point I just need to hope he doesn't have an idol, or that he doesn't play it, bc if he does then I guess I'm screwed.

Why do I have a funny feeling I'm getting Bret Labelle'd out tonight? Mitchell is the biggest threat, Willow! Don't pull a Hannah

i told them all after last tribal, "I hope y'all ready for shit to get messy bc my ass is winning final immunity challenge." and my ass DID. my ass did THAT. i have fucking made it to day 39. i'm not one to get emotional, but i've been playing ORGs for a few years now. not like other people, who always jump into them - i've done like one ORG every school year for a few years. this is my seventh total. and i made it to the end my very first one, back when I still played entirely over email, and lost to an inactive at the final tribal. and it's eaten away at me since. how could i work so hard and come so close just to fall short to that? but that was a different time and a different me, and i finally fucking did it again. 2nd, 11th, 9th, 5th, 12th, 5th... and now at least 3rd. I fucking made it here again and I can't believe it. Shout-out to Allie - I didn't think I had a shot once we got to the last stage. I was in so much pain and didn't know how much fight I had left in me but goddamn I pulled it off like i said i was gonna and now my ass can't be grassed and my ass in the final three i can't describe what this is like. i'm sure the org community can relate as a whole to wanting something so bad, and working so hard to make it happen, and now to have your chance, your shot, be actualized... it's incredible. it's a phenomenal feeling and i really hope i can now seal the deal and pull this shit off. it's not a guarantee. and hell, i still don't even know who i'm voting for. but i did it. i fucking DID THAT. mitchell kalabang fucking did that and all these fake killas don't know who the fuck they made the mistake of trying to ice. you can't ice fire and that's exactly why you don't dance with fire, bc ur ass is gonna get BURNED and mitchell kalabang is a fucking GOLDEN GOD

(later)

So after last tribal when they tried to ICE MY ASS i went around very boldly telling everyone that i was gonna win FIC and they better get their shit straightened out for when that happens. allie and i make a deal to vote out willow, i focus all my plans on winning, and then BAM surprise it fuckin HAPPENS and now i am left with a choice to make - do i vote out willow or do i vote out allie? and while i'm weighing this choice, willow for a stronger story should she be able to articulate it and allie for having what i perceive to be more friends and a stronger perception among the jurors, aro asks me to vote him off i say "...what" and he says that he doesn't want to be a FTC loser, and that he'll support me on the jury. he knows he's gonna lose and doesn't want to waste time on all the proceedings, so he'd rather help me win. and that sounds GREAT. that puts like 4 votes i expect on the jury - dana, matt, zak, and aro. if i can grab 1 more, i doubt willow/allie can grab all the other 5 - i win. and i'm like "...aro if u want this u got it bud" And then comes the hard part of convincing willow/allie to do it. have they really been #secretpairbewaring their way through this game? that's a possibility, but i think both of them rightfully perceive each other to be their biggest threat that they can vote for. we all know aro is going to lose. so with allie, it's easier - she says she didn't want to have to vote out willow anyways and is ok with voting out aro. and then miss willow tries hard to convince me to grass allie's ass anyways, so i strong-arm her a lil bit. say if i vote aro, and she and allie vote each other, she's playing russian roulette - aro either votes for her or allie, and if her gambit to ice allie works, that's fine and dandy... but there's a 50% chance she gets iced herself. thus, the only way to save herself is in doing what i want by voting out aro. and willow is understandably not fully in love with this plan, and she just asked me if i'm doing this to split jurors' votes between allie and herself. that's partially true - it's certainly a benefit. but willow is in no position to fight with me here, and she's particularly in no position to actually DO anything about it. sure, i know that aro is throwing his vote to allie, but SHE doesn't. as far as she knows, doing what i want guarantees herself a worst-case tie and a best-case F3 spot. if she does something else, she might vote herself out. she doesn't have a choice. winning FIC gives you so much fucking power and i genuinely believe that i can take any of these fools in the F3 so if they wanna be stupid and gamble with their lives then they can go right ahead and grass they own asses but y'all can't ice a golden fuckin god

So I feel like Im pretty much done. Id rather get 4th than go through FTC and get like one vote. I tried my hardest to stop Mitchell but unfortunately it didnt work out. Oh well, Im pretty exhausted from this game anyways.

Ahh so Mitchell winning the FIC wasn't the greatest scenario that could have happened but whatever. I'm a little dissapointed in myself that I accidentally talked but I can't go back now. Anyway I don't really have any shot at winning this game anymore So I guess I'm just gonna go with everyone else and vote out Aro tonight, even though Aro is the one with the least amount of chance of winning (imo). Mitchell is saying that he wants to vote out Aro this round bc he thinks he's some secret threat, and like yeah Aro has played an alright strategic game but I don't think he's made enough social connections. Anyway I think the real reason Mitchell wants Aro out this round is bc at FTC the people who are mad at Mitchell might split the votes between me and Allie. Anyway if Mitchell weren't here then I might have an okay shot at winning this game but now I don't. So congrats Mitchell Kalabang on winning Solomon Islands! Also since this is probably going to be my last confessional I just wanted to say that I had an amazing time playing this game! I've met a bunch of wonderful people and it was my first org ever and I plan on continuing to play more orgs!

can't BELIEVE we're starting the FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL FJWRIUHDsnfiucrehdsnuifvhrenfsfchrd I worked so fuckin hard and so fuckin long and we're here. I I expect to get Dana, Matt, Zak, and Aro... that's 4/10. I just need to pull one more, which can prob come from RTP or Luca... and I don't think Willow/Allie are getting 5 votes so ! LA maybe, but Lex and Jacob are pretty much gone, and Johnny... who knows. But it's been a wild fuckin ride from food poisoning to 2 idol plays to 2 individual immunities to the final fuckin three. Hosts, miss willow, miss allie... it's been a wild ride. Good luck and good RIDDANCE

FINAL 3!! I never thought I would make it this far, I know Im not gonna win but I had a blast thank you!
