hello, hope you have a nice day!!! I was just wondering, do you have any idea og why people seem to dislike Suyin? I have seen a lot of people dragging her because of different reasons, some bc she didn't step up when the EK was a mess. Honestly, I don't care much. In the series, she was okay for me and I kind of just like her as a side-character, but in the comic everyone is a little too out of character for me to like them. I just don't really get why she is hated so much?? Have any thoughts?

Hello, I hope you have a nice day too!! :D

I haven't been in the lok tags for a while, so I haven't seen the dragging of Suyin, but I can take a few guesses.

I think everyone can agree Suyin was a bit of a brat as a kid, that's probably where it started. Lin's flashbacks show that as a kid Su did what she wanted, when she wanted, with little concern as to who she affected. And when Toph destroys her arrest report and tells Su to live with her grandparents, Lin feels like Su is just getting away with it. As the audience, we've grown attached to Lin for two and a half seasons, so we're more likely to take her side. Then when we find out that actually Su went on to be super successful and got everything she ever wanted, those who would like to see Su learn her lesson weren't satisfied. And I get that. Since we never see Su struggle and grow, we only see the end result, it feels like she didn't learn anything.

There's also her odd use of familial terms. She says Kuvira was like a daughter to her, but has no problems with taking her teenage sons with her to murder her after Kuvira shows up at their doorstep, and later shows no feelings of remorse or conflict when Kuvira is defeated. However, she treats Junior, her blood son, with kid gloves and open arms. It feels like the term family doesn't mean as much to her when applied to non-blood relations. But considering she had three "family members," (two chosen and one blood relative) betray her throughout the series, this is now a pattern and should be examined about why this keeps happening to her.

I do remember people upset that Suyin didn't agree to help run the Earth Kingdom when Tenzin and Raiko asked her to, and if she had just done that then Kuvira wouldn't have taken power, and it was really selfish of her not wanting to help, but I'm actually not completely against her here. The Earth Kingdom is huge and unstable since the death of the queen, and asking one city-state to run the whole country is a big ask, and might be seen by many as a grab for power. Plus we know why Tenzin and Raiko (Raiko especially) would go to Su with this request. She's a neutral party to the Earth Kingdom and a close friend of many high-ranking people in the United Republic. They think she'll just go along with anything the UR wants so they can shape the EK how they see fit instead of letting the people of the EK decide what they want. It's why they then turn to Wu. He's clearly an unfit leader, but he's young and foolish, so it makes him easy to manipulate behind the scenes. Suyin didn't want Zaofu to be involved in all that. I can understand her feelings on that. Offering to help in other ways would have been nice though.

Suyin is a complicated character. She's not a bad person, and she doesn't necessarily enjoy hurting people, but she has a very "me and mine" mentality, and if you give her a reason not to trust you, there's no getting back in her good graces (unless you're her blood relative I guess) and she will do whatever is necessary to take down a threat to her and her family. She says she believes in second chances, but it seems not third or fourth chances. She also believes she's entitled to forgiveness, but she doesn't realize that forgiveness is not earned, it is given freely. She tells Lin she's changed, but doesn't understand that doesn't mean Lin has to forgive her if she's not ready.

I should also point out that I have not read the comics, so if anything either confirms or contradicts my points here, I don't know about it. And I have to say, I don't hate Suyin, but she's also not favorite character, and she's not my favorite Beifong, so these are only the reasons that I can think of that she would be unlikable. But she's got a lot of good traits too. She's smart, ambitious, a nurturing mother who encourages her children to pursue their interests, and has the leadership skills to successfully run a city-state. She's just gray, not wholly good but not bad. Just gray.

#asks for theorangestar #suyin beifong #lok #she's a complicated character #and the thing is probably lots of people know a suyin in real life

tagged by @lucypcvensie uwu thanks for putting up with my weirdo self ily <3

How tall are you? 5′2

What color and style is your hair? lots of people say my hair’s a light brown, but hair stylists say it’s a dark blonde so I’ll trust their judgement // my hair’s curly

What color are your eyes? blue (with these little flecks of gold right around the irises, you can only see them if you look real close)

Do you wear glasses? I have glasses, don’t necessarily wear them all the time

Do you wear braces? I used to, but I developed root resorption and had to get them off early (spring of 2017) so now none of my teeth toouch except for in the very back :( makes it really hard to eat samiches (yes that’s how I like to spell sandwiches fight me)

What’s your fashion sense? so I don’t count most days as my fashion sense bc I wear athleisure ish allllllll the time out of laziness, but when I do make an effort I have two ends of things bc I’m androgynous. so on a day when I’m feeling more masculine you’re gonna see me in a sporty-type-look (spandex, just barely sagging joggers, a graphic tee, my gold chain and jordans, I usually pull my hair into a ponytail and lay my edges), but on a day when I feel more feminine you’re gonna see me in some tried-and-true type of clothes (cute shirt, leggings, heels, jewelry, makeup did, hair down and [hopefully] acting right), but on a day when I’m feeling in-between I’ll try to experiment or be “edgy” (basically mixing and matching or trying something I saw a celebrity do and thought was cute). regardless of any style I’m in, though, you’re always gonna see me with my nails done, whether that means I got acrylics on or that I painted them myself... just know. that’s how we do. and by we I mean me.

Full name? I won’t share my last name, but Eden Amaris (fun fact: amaris can be pronounced two ways!) Is my first and middle

When were you born? December 18, 1999

Where are you from and where do you live now? was born in Federal Way, WA but I consider myself to be from Tacoma, WA as I’ve spent all of my most important years there (early childhood + hs + uni). I now live in Tacoma.

What school do you go to? University of Washington

What kind of student are you? a fucking mess I’m quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable I’m rly talkative and answer so many questions that my teachers will literally stop calling on me unless if there’s no one else lmaooo, I’ve also had several classmates and teachers tell me I should be a teacher and surprise, surprise, I do want to be a teacher for some time

Do you like school? f-f-f-FUCK YEA I LIKE SCHOOL how is that even a question??? to take it down a couple notches, yes, I love school, whether it’s for sports or for learning, I’m always excited to come to school everyday wow what a frickin nerd amirite, frickin loser

Favorite subject? depends on my professor. at this point, I highkey hate all of my classes rn bc I don’t feel like I’m learning anything. that miiight also have something to do with depression and anxiety though so idk what to tell ya man

Favorite tv shows? not a super TV person, but I’m a thot for Steven Universe

Favorite movie? I love tf out of movies, my all time would have to be Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (I just pretend that WftPotA didn’t happen atm bc I hate sm of what happened in it), but in the last few days I’ve watched War Horse (I cried like a bitch lemme tell ya), Secretariat (didn’t cry like a bitch but got teary-eyed) and 42 (I did cry at certain parts but it’s kinda uplifting so ya know, wasn’t super sad) and they were all lovely so if you haven’t seen them yet, go watch them! They’re all free on Netflix

Favorite book? When I was little it was this book called Junket (that thing is older than my grandparents, good lordte), I think some of my favorites rn tho are Heartless by Marissa Meyer and Tales from the Perilous Realm by J.R.R. Tolkien

Favorite past time? a couple months ago you would’ve thought it was crying from how much I did that, but tbh it’s probably drawing, writing, reading, watching movies, listening to music, sewing, spending time/going on adventures with my friends and helping my friends with their lives. I KNOW THAT’S EVERYTHING BUT I CAN’T HELP IT REEEE my most favorite past time atm is helping my friend Charlie clean and organize his room and designing things for his business, also spending time with my favorite little niecey-poo in the WHOLE WORLD OMGOODNESS HERE IS A PICTURE OF HER BEAUTIFUL SELF I LOVE HER SM SHE IS THE SWEETEST MOST CUTEST AND FUNNIEST AND SMARTEST WITTO GIRL EVER AND I LOVE HER <3

Do you have regrets? boy oh boy, do I: taking so long to forgive my abuser (thx for destroying my childhood @ my biological father), procrastinating, not having enough self-love/worth/confidence, being complacent with so many of the friends I used to have, focusing so much on socializing in hs rather than my sports and my schoolwork, being so afraid to just be myself bc I knew most people don’t want to be friends with a weirdo, the list goes on, all I can do now is move past it though so... ohwell.

Dream job? oh SIS get ready for this: sooo I want to own my own business, known as LEAD Revitalization (L for Love, E for Equity, A for Advocacy, D for Diplomacy - these are the core values of my business), which aims to help revitalize underdeveloped and underserved ethnic communities in the US and around the world and fight against gentrification through implementing art of all mediums in or near historic locations in that community that is representative of the demographic living there (so if the area is a primarily black neighborhood, you’re gonna see art depicting black history and culture, and if the area is primarily Asian you’d see Asian history and culture). I won’t get too into it just bc that would make this post way too long, but if anyone’s interested or wants to hear more you can bml ;) like literally bc I’m passionate af about it so I will talk your head off for days on end if given the chance

Would you ever like to be married? yes

Would you like kids? yes

How many? two or three of my own (I’m hoping for a girl and a boy) just so I can have the experience of having kids, but once they’re grown and out of the house I would like to adopt more if I have the resources to. my cousin’s adopted, so like, idk. I think that if you can adopt a kid, you should, bc there’s so many of them just stuck in the foster system and that’s complete bs

Do you like shopping? yes but I usually don’t like getting myself things (unless if we’re talking groceries or something I actually need), I love to buy things for other ppl tho if I can

What countries have you visited? canada for like 3 days technically, I just went to Mt. Whistler for spring snowboarding (that shit hurted) with my aunt bc she paid for the whole thing and my passport

Scariest nightmare you have ever had? TRIGGER WARNING: DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE - I had a nightmare awhile ago that this guy I used to be involved with raped me, I also used to have recurring nightmares after I stopped going to my biological father’s house for visitation where he would come searching for me trying to kill me and my older brother (he’s tried to kill me 3+ times sooo... it makes sense). so like. fun.

Any enemies? S A T A N and myself, or.... my brain, I guess. idk.

Self-doubt? you betcha

Any significant other? kinda? I’m currently fwb with my ex and still have feelings for him (oopsies), we split bc he was going through shit and needed to figure himself out, I’ve been close to him for a phat minute so I’m not really trippin about it. I also have crushes on other people, but nothing’s presented itself as something worth pursuing yet so. yakno.

Do you believe in miracles? lmao I would fuckin hope so, the very fact that I’m alive rn is a gd miracle so yea

How are you? I am so-so. If we’re just talking about today, I’m prolly fine, but if we’re talking long term, I’ve been going through it. I’m just trying to figure myself out atm, and it’s rough, but I’ll probably get there. My friends think I will, at least.

i tag: @crookedly-rainy @secretpatrolpiespy hi I don’t have any other friends on Tumblr so I tagged my friends from Amino Y E E T

Episode 1: “How do I bond with people” - Mitch

Dylan C

https://youtu.be/MiBLiRlSzFc

Stephen

It’s round one and I’ve already learnt a foreign word for pee, this seasons gonna be great

Cam

hello everyone and welcome to HOLY FUCK by cameron, your local certified sick kid

so first of all

I HAVE DYLAN AND MATT SUMMERS AND MITCH ON MY TRIBE

which is all fine and dandy

ABBEY IS ON? THE OTHER TRIBE?

which is also fine and dandy

blake is super sweet and i adore this newbie already!! he's like "im so overwhelmed im in two games"....... sweetie

BUT ALSO

so i message jay to idol hunt

"first in line"

i say "this is door 9 all over again!"

i wait about 15 minutes

go through the path, dee dee dee dee dee

"fountain or pay an offering to the statue"

me, in my hellenic witchcraft practices, knowing the goddesses really like offerings, gonna offer aphrodite some food (sorry hera)

guess what aphrodite gives me?

an idol. she gives me an idol. i'm truly blessed. this is ridiculous. i got the idol the very first idol hunt of the season.

i'm shaking.

Dylan C

oh my god how to I play a game with my close friends sksjsh (i’ll make a Proper confessional later)

Brittany

i've been doing duolingo for, like, an hour now and there are so many ways to say the. i've counted around 4. it's pretty fun though, and everyone on my tribe seems really cool and nice cx

Zabbey

Wow ok so my tribe is really cute and wholesome so far. I'm playing with JG, Timmy and Stephen which is cool bc i lowkey know them all but I've never played with them so thats fun! I cant really speak on the newbies since I havent really talked to any of them yet but I'm excited to get to know them! It's wild knowing cam and dylan are on the other tribe, I hope i get to play with them too!

Stephen

Cal is the best, i would love to work with Cal, JG, Timmy, and Zabbey. But i’m still gonna gove the other new guys a chance, still very early days to start making alliances. That being said I’m still very happy we have had a majority on a call, make some ties. *glares at atomic “all-stars”*

Zach

So uh...so far nothing. Unless I’m completely out of the loop. I really like my tribe mate Zabbey. She seems cool and we have the same sense of humor. I really hope to align with her, but we’ll see how it goes. I also really admire Maynor for volunteering to sit since he has to work today. So far I think our tribe vines well. No tea to spill yet, but I’m sure there’s more to come.

Alex

Many people werre talking about drag race and I've never seen it and I kinda knew this would happen to me at some point in mylife when I end up being the bad gay who hates Lady Gaga and hasn't seen drag race and we're here folks. lol I guess I'll stay quiet and hopefully noone will find out

J.G.

Night one was, interesting to say the least. I was a little worried because I knew that I had to work during the first hour of the game and with new people I did not want to miss out on the bonding opportunities. Shockingly few were active among the noobies mostly Zach and Cal. The vets on my tribe, I actually know which is wild. Stephen and I have played together in the past, not together but there is for sure no bad feelings, that I know of. Abbey and Timmy I have never played with them but I know of them from the community. I have always wanted to play with them and excited for this opportunity. I know from a viewer this will come off as boring but I do feel that sticking with the vets is going to be smart at least in the early stages but mark my words, if I have any say, Abbey will be the last boot before merge. There is no way hell, I am letting her get any where near merge, I am not dumb no what she can do. Sorry Abbey, you're queen but the queen is not gonna stay queen. I really want to make a three tight alliance with Stephen and Timmy and ride with them but they could always tip off Abbey and use it to their advantage so I need to just chill and let things play out. I feel that if we are to go to tribal in the early stages, I can picture two noobs being easily targeted for inactivity. Oh, let's also talk about how I got freaking 20% disadvantage night one like I always do, and then turn around to get a 10% advantage the next day. I'm mess but I'm gonna keep eating these grapes because they're pretty good.

So I was really sure I was going to be in the first alliance of the season amongst the vets but nope that didn't happen. I am in a unprecedented alliance with Abbey, yeah the person I said I want to make sure gets out before merge and Zach. Our alliance is called Two Gays and a Bi-by ... iconic as fuck. With a smaller tribe starting size with 8, smaller alliances are key plus I feel that we can easily pull some side votes for numbers to honestly keep our alliance alive and active. This makes targeting Abbey really hard cause it could turn Zach against me. I will have to be very cautious, how I go about this. I also talked to Cal and was making sure I connected with him cause I know he was putting work in on Timmy and Stephen last night. That is something I will have to monitor. That can not be allowed to happen. I think working with Timmy would be fun and cool but it's looking like that if after a early not so active noob goes and we need to find another target, I think Timmy would be a fine first threat to knock out leaving Stephen and Cal up in the air.

Cal

Lots of stuff! I was late to the party at the intro but got to chat with Timmy, JG, and Stephen. I learned about their past in the community as well as talked about the many moods of trying to learn greek. One such mood is probably me always confusing the "pi" sign and the one shaped like the letter "p" leading to accidentally translating baby as fool. Ironically I really don't want to be seen as either while a baby or fool especially since I'm new. I've really enjoyed meeting my tribe mates but I'm afraid to see where the pleasant meet and greet ends and the game begins.

Maynor

My thoughts on this tribe is that i like everyone and i dont want any of them to leave. Ive been trying to talk to everyone n try to be social player since im sitting out the first challenge.

Blake

welp. i still dont really know whats going on but... IM HAVING FUN. Ive talked with Dylan C a bunch and we have gotten to know each other pretty well. The greek challenge? a MESS. I havent been able to do a lot and the little i have done is not even worth mentioning. I hope the next challenge is a little easier for me but until then... YAY!

Maynor

Last night Brittany and I started talking and decides since we are newbies that we will work as a duo to keep each other safe since the game has newbies & returning players. As of right now she is my #1 but i am talking to others.

Maynor

Second day has been very interesting. Ive been talking to Cal and J.G. pretty much all day seperately. And both want to align and J.G brought up maybe doing three person alliance and he said we should try n bring in Cal. In my head i was like yes. So now its an allince of me, Cal, and J.G. which is great. If its all 100% (my end it is) then this is going to be great.

Timmy

Wow, I haven't made a confessional yet. WE WON IMMUNITY!!! I'm very relaxed now, but also I don't think I would have gone anyways so woot woot. I did the worst on my tribe so that's not too great (pretty sure the 810 from the post was my score), but I still did better than the entire other tribe so wooo. I'm so happy to finally be in a game with Abbey and I really want to work with her and we have been talking already about the nothingness that has come from our idol hunts so that's good. I still haven't talked to Zach or Brittany so I need to do that soon, Zach seems nice in the tribe chat but Brittany seems nonexistent at the moment even though she did well in the challenge.

Cam

well i may have won a main season last night

but let me tell you

WE DID NOT WIN THAT MY DUDES LMAO. we were literally beat ten times over. i hope the f tribe feels good about how much they squished us. they... earned that. truly.

but now jay says... there's an announcement? and this is what immediately ensues

and it was just announced! so there is redemption. this is nice! i'm less worried about work now. like obviously i'm gonna do my best? but... if i fuck up at least there's a CHANCE.

oh yeah and the idol. day 2 in the game, still haven't told anyone, so that's pretty cool! we'll see how long that lasts.

dylan c and i had a conversation about how if we don't work together neither of us will hold it against the other but like... im pretty sure we're gonna work together anyway.

wouldn't it be cute to make f3 with dylan c and abbey? god that's the dream. but it won't happen.

Maynor

The alliance is official between me, JG, and Cal. Are alliance name is MEW but greek that looks like mew. I like both and i hope they are ride or die as i am with this alliance. But just so we could have one more vote, im keeping my ally, Brittany, secret for now.

Mitch

Welcome to Greece! I consume goat cheese, so I'm something of a Greek expert myself you know. I'm very excited to meet all of my tribemates but now I'm probably going to talk about them individually since Idk what else to do

I haven't played a game in so long I have no fucking idea how to socialize oh my god. I feel like everything I type is awkward and sad. At least the first challenge was relatively easy since I never had to type anything and have free time up the wazoo . But fuck we got crushed lmao. I dunno what secret they used but I take comfort in knowing that they were probably worried about us doing the same thing. Maybe I probably won't get voted out for having a score of 600 but WE SHALL SEE

Alex - Where is he? He did the challenge but he hasn't said a word ever. I want to keep him but uh Blake - 15 exp huh. 15? :| I only got increments of 10 where did the 5 come from Cameron - Aaaa. I enjoy Cameron and hopefully he enjoys me Dylan C - Oh this distinguishing between Dylans will be fun. But hopefully this Dylan and I can... meet in the middle somewhere yes Dylan R - One of the 4 people who have spoken to me! This kid is GOING PLACES and I'm glad to help him along for the ride Maddie - She is camping and I completely understand. Matt - I mean sure Matt and I KNOW each other but do we really? It's not like we were buddy buddy in Navarino. Unless he thinks we were? If he does... uh oh

How do I bond with people

Cal

Maynard just brought together me and JG together to start an alliance all while the results of the immunity challenge was finished. I was nervous but not only did we win but we have an amazing three that is called ΜΞΨ(after the first letters of our names), which is called that thanks to me! I just thought it'd be fun to name it like a frat since we've been learning greek and also hopefully dominate! JG and Maynard are great guys and I'm excited to work with them as ΜΞΨ but I also am keeping in mind ΜΞ(me lol) in the game for when we do have to go to tribal! Mu Xi Psi out!

Dylan R

For the first tribal, I'm obviously worried. As for targets, I'm not sure there are any at this moment. I guess I'm voting based on tribal performances, but I would be open to other people's suggestions. I would consider myself closest to Matt, Dylan C and Mitch so those three are who I would want to vote with.

Stephen

I found half a “special idol” in the mangroves! While I am happy and I will still search for the other half I do have to decide if I want to tell anyone. In a previous season I told one person and they betrayed me (thanks tim) but in the end that led the person who had other half to reach out to me. However I can’t expect the same thing to happen this game, every games a new game. So I think I’m gonna keep it to myself, if somebody else tells me or is revealed to have the other half I might tell them, but for now I’m just gonna search for the other half and be content that no one can use the whole thing against me.

Zach

We won the first challenge!!!! I was expecting it to be a lot closer tbh. But I have an alliance of 3 that I’m fairly confident in! I wouldn’t say I completely trust them yet though. Both of them have played before and so it’s scary to think that they might just be playing me. I guess time will tell. I’m also curious to see what other alliances will show themselves when we finally start talking and going to trial. Also a little worried that I might be playing to hard out of the gate. We’ll see and I’ll probably get used to playing as time goes on.

My mom (Jay) has officially cancelled me y'all. My tribe freaking won by over 13 to almost 2k. Holy crap. Like did the vets on the other side never play this comp before? Like with maybe a little work and patience, you could get easily 1500XP without really grinding maybe more. I am honestly perfectly o.k. with these results I wanted us to win badly because of having to go to work tonight, I did not want to bother with the stress of that. Plus, the night before my work had an emergency so I am definitely not in a place ready to emotionally invest and make a move in the game. ΜΞΨ is an alliance that formed between Maynor, Cal, and myself. The alliance names from the first letter of our names in Greek to kinda make a frat/sor name. Maynor approached me wanting to make a final 2 and go really far. I am down with this for now of course, this game is constantly changing and moving. He asked me if we wanted to make a threesome to help our odds and asked me for suggestions. I suggested Cal because I knew I wasn't in any other alliances with him yet and this will allow me to keep an eye on him making sure he doesn't get close to Timmy or Stephen. Before I went off for the night Stephen and I officially talked about how the vets probably should create an official thing because it wouldn't hurt for us to work at least together in the early stages of the game. We decided that it should be discussed and formed today. Once that happens your boy is literally in an alliance with everyone besides Brittany and she actually did really well in the challenge. This scares me that she is either close to others or just someone I am not gonna be able to connect with. I heard from others that people are forgetting she's here, at the least she is a competitor. Either this is gonna blow up in my face or gonna allow me to position myself really well going into merge. Mama mia, my tribe isn't going tribal but I feel I made some of the biggest moves. Time will tell, I guess

Zabbey

SO A lot has happened since I last confessed!!!! I am now in a baby alliance with JG and Zach which is wholesome. Zach is super hype and its v endearing and im a stan. JG also said him and Stephen have talked about a vet alliance which would be the easier way to go but I don't really want to. I don't want to play this game based off of outside relationships, I'm not necessarily going to align with Cam and Dylan is we make it onto the same tribe. In more impotant news ya bITCH FOUND THE IDOL! My literal third search! Timmy told me that he was looking in the hotel rooms so I was gonna do that but then Jay said roof and I was like why not and my witch ass gave that offering and got me a sexy idol! I don't plan on telling anyone about it unless I absolutely have to!

Blake

I'm realizing now that im probably going to be seen as invisible the whole time bthrfnm dont know if thats good or bad LOL. But I finally have an alliance and its with people that I actually enjoy talking too :) Me, Cameron and Dylan C formed a group called Bicons (Bi Icons LMAO) and they seem to be really loyal. I have no idea what im doing but i hope people find me funny and want to keep me hfuiejf. (I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IM GONNA VOTE OFF)

Maddie

I came into this game after 2 nights had already gone by. I am really scared that I will be voted out tonight because I would be the easy since not very many people know me.

Dylan R

The first tribal is the most important tribal, at least from a game perspective. That’s why I’m taking a gamble and trying to target after Blake. We need people who will win challenges, and after his score of 15 I’m not sure if he’s best suited. I need 4 votes to tie. I believe I’ll have Alex & Maddie, so right now I’m focusing on the fourth vote. Dylan C seems wary about this vote, so I’m trying to convince her now. I told her that “other people have mentioned Blake” when really it’s just me lol. I don’t wanna tell anyone else, simply because I don’t want people thinking I’m playing too hard, so I’m hoping the votes will tie or the votes will be spread. I’m taking a bit of a gamble because this could put a target on my back, but I do love gambles so I can’t resist. This will probably come back to bite me, but it is redemption island so I guess that’s always a fallback.

Cal

Missed a lot of discussion about past games because I was meeting up with someone impromptu. It's daunting but also exciting to face the experience of some of my tribe mates. It's the feeling of a glorious revolution of the new players against the old! I aim to learn as well, but also have really enjoyed speaking with my tribe but fear people are getting wind of the ΜΞΨ alliance since me, JG, and Maynor are speaking a lot. I gotta figure out my mist! Mu Xi Psi out!

Stephen

The tribe chat: Jay is about to get represented by an agent!!!!! ajdnfkksxjsnxxcz

Cal in my PMs: I just got laid

............okay cal. I guess he ws just being friendly? But things like that are sort of a hot topic for me, but I don’t think thats something he needs to know. And its probably not something to get into in confessionals. Maybe if we become besties we can have a dnm about it later.

Dylan C

https://youtu.be/8oaTFmpiv0I

Dylan R

Ok so like. Convincing people is hard lol. New tactic: I told Alex that people are targeting him in hopes that it’ll ignite him enough to save himself. I want Alex as an ally, but if he can’t save himself then I don’t want him as an ally

Brittany

so i'm late to making this confession but we won the first challenge and i'm still so?? happy about it?? and by a lot too, and there i was panicking and speeding through duolingo lmao. hopefully this is a sign and we stay doing this well lol

J.G.

Yeet,one last confessional before the round is over. I am honestly really anxious to see what happens at this tribal whether a vet or noob will go. While I do not think that this will be a prevalent theme in decision making, it something I am keeping in the back of my mind. I don't want people to be able use that against me to vote me out. That's why I will feel really inclined to stick with the vets if a vet is voted out tonight over a noob. Who knows what that tribe will do they have several options.

Finally, officially the vets (Abbey, Timmy, and Stephen as well as myself) finally came together to form an official alliance called The Nursing Home. I am really keeping an eye on Timmy and Stephen, they give me some minor sketch vibes but it could just be me over analyzing.

Well, 1 week down, several more to go.

Dylan C

I’m getting a concerning amount of radio silence form some cast members. Is it because they’re inactive or ignoring me?? Lmao mattI'm so excited to be on Kalokairi! This has been a lifelong dream. Who wouldn't want to live on a gorgeous Greek island, where every piece of drama or sadness is resolved by breaking out into 70s Disco Pop and choreographing elaborate dance routines featuring wacky props like scuba fins? And to be able to play the game of Survivor while doing it? Wild!

My tribe is literally so wholesome. The other "veterans" are all so fantastic, and the newbies are so pure and fun and I love talking to them. The only person I haven't gotten to speak one on one to is Alex, and it seems like that's the case for the rest of the tribe. After getting THWUMPED in that immunity challenge, it's nice that we can all come together in a cohesive vote to hopefully power through in the future.

I found a leather necklace at the market, but it doesn't actually do anything until I combine it with another part. I'm not sure if my best strategy is to keep it hidden or let everyone know I have it in case they're also looking for it, but I think I'm going to keep it to myself while I search a bit more.

I'd really like to work with Cameron long term, and I have a crush on Dylan R okay that is all goodnight.

Cam

so i've been wrestling with the decision on whether or not to tell Dylan C about the idol.

I still haven't told him. Day 3! Nobody knows but me. that's pretty cool.

it's pretty quiet around the vote right now? everyone is still asleep i think, and morale is a little low following last night.

-----

I didn't submit that before I left for work, rip

Cam, certified short term memory loss haver

Alex was unanimously eliminated.

what if taemin meets Krystal again like 20 years later? Like at first she reacts kinda badly realizing the neighborhood boy never grew up but then they talk and taemin compliments her bc she's so pretty? Love ur headcanons, I hope you have a great weekend uwu

this is super old and i don’t know if i ever said what would happen if taemin from vamp au ever met krystal again, but sometimes i think about it and it goes something like:

One evening when Krystal is 25-years-old, she’s walking by the park near where she used to live as a child. She lives not far from there now, just the next town over, and sometimes she likes to walk through the park to get to the shopping center on the other side. Tonight, though, after all the other children have gone home, she sees a small boy and man coming into the park.

“Thirty minutes, Taemin!” the man calls out. “Not a second longer!”

“I can’t hear you, I’m playing!” the boy shouts back as he climbs up the jungle gym.

Krystal feels her breath catch when she sees the boy’s face, because he looks exactly like the same Taemin who used to live down the street from her - the same Taemin who put a ring made out of a dandelion on her pinky when she was six and said he was going to marry her one day. She had loved Taemin, and the two would play together all the time when they were younger. She never saw him away from his house, though, and after she turned eight, she stopped seeing him altogether. They still lived in the house, but she never saw him outside. She never saw anyone.

She doesn’t realize she’s walking over there until she’s standing in front of the jungle gym and calling out his name.

“Taemin?” she says.

The little boy turns to her, his head snapping as he hands grip the railing a little tighter.

“That’s your name, isn’t it? Taemin?” she asks.

“How do you know my name?” he asks, his eyebrows furrowing. It’s a very peculiar movement for what appears to be a five-year-old.

“Do you know who I am?” she asks.

“No.”

“My name’s Krystal,” she says softly.

Taemin’s eyes widen, and his mouth opens and closes a couple times. He stares at her for a moment, and when she asks if he remembers her, he nods his head just barely. He sucks his bottom lip into his mouth and chews on it before he gingerly climbs down so he’s standing in front of her, and she kneels down and smiles at him.

“How are you still so little?” she asks.

“It’s a secret,” he says quietly.

“How old are you?” she asks, moving her hand to reach out to his hair.

“Like, a hundred-somethin’,” he says, and that’s when the man shouts for Taemin and comes running over.

“You’re not supposed to talk to strangers,” he hisses to the boy as he grabs his arm.

“Jjongie,” Taemin whines, pulling at his arm, “she’s not a stranger.”

“Then who is she? How do you know her?” Jonghyun questions him. “Come on, we’re going home.”

“She’s Krystal!” Taemin says. “She’s my Krystal!”

Jonghyun looks at her for a long moment before bending over to pick Taemin up and telling Krystal to follow him. Once he’s sure that she’s walking back to the house with them, he calls Jinki and tells them that they have a bit of a problem.

“She’s not a problem,” Taemin cries the phone, trying to pull it away from Jonghyun’s ear. “Daddy, she’s not a problem!”

Jonghyun hangs up when Taemin starts crying, and he wipes the tears away with his thumb and clicks his tongue.

“Why are you crying?” he asks softly. “We’re not going to do anything, I promise. We’re just going to answer some questions she might have. Don’t cry.”

When they get into the house, Jonghyun takes Taemin straight into the kitchen and sits him on the counter.

“You haven’t had breakfast yet, what do you want?” Jonghyun asks, opening the smaller fridge.

“B,” Taemin says, a pout firm on his face.

Krystal can only stand off to the side, staring in confusion as Jonghyun sighs and takes out a red packet from the fridge and then squirts it into a sippy cup he takes out of one of the cupboards. After screwing on the top and giving it to Taemin, he picks the boy back up and puts him back on the ground.

Taemin, one hand holding his cup up to his mouth, goes straight to Krystal and takes her hand to try and lead her into the living room. She doesn’t budge, though, and instead asks what he’s drinking.

The nozzle of the sippy cup slides out of Taemin’s mouth, and he turns to look at Jonghyun.

That’s when Jinki comes into the kitchen and goes right to picking Taemin up and bringing them all into the living room. Taemin whines the whole way, especially when Jinki sits on the couch with Taemin in his lap and says that it’s only the beginning of the night and already he’s causing problems.

“It’s not my fault,” Taemin insists.

Jinki just pushes Taemin’s hair out of his eyes and tells him to finish his breakfast.

Jinki spends a very long time explaining to Krystal about what they are and how Taemin is still the same little boy she remembers from her childhood. To say she’s shocked or freaked out would be an understatement, but the worried look on Taemin’s little face makes her push down her own fear as much as she can. Jinki has explained that they won’t do anything to her, that they’re not going to harvest her for blood or anything, and that they would never turn her into a vampire unless she explicitly asked for it.

She spends the night with them, because she can tell that Taemin probably needs a real goodbye from her, and so she lets him show him around the house and all his toys and books and things. When they get to his room, Taemin takes a toy off of one of the shelves and holds it out to her.

“I want you to have it,” Taemin says softly. “So you remember me.”

“Oh Taemin,” she whispers.

It’s a little stuffed dog with long, floppy ears. It has black, curly hair and big brown eyes, and Krystal can’t help but think it looks just like Taemin.

“I couldn’t ever forget you,” she tells him softly, and she leans down close to him and smiles.

He smiles back, but then his eyes widen and he takes her hand and leads her over to a different part of his bedroom. There’s tons of pictures framed and standing in one of his bookshelves, and he stands on his tip-toes to grab one in particular.

“This one’s of you and me when you were still little,” he says, and he holds it up show her.

Sure enough, the two of them are standing in Taemin’s bedroom up against one of the walls, their hands intertwined and a flower-ring on Krystal’s right pinky.

“You can have it,” Taemin says.

“Oh no, I couldn’t take this,” she says. “This is yours.”

“Then I’ll make Onew make a copy of it,” Taemin says, and he takes the frame back before running into the hall. “Daddy! You need to make me a picture-copy!”

All Krystal can do while he’s gone is fall onto his bed and start crying, hiding her face in the stuffed dog Taemin just gave her.

“I’m sorry, this must be very strange for you,” Jonghyun says as he enters the room.

“He’s just still so little,” she says. “Is he - is he stuck like that? Forever?”

“Until he dies,” Jonghyun says softly. “Which won’t be for a very long time if I have anything to say about it.”

“Is it hard for him?” she chokes out. “Is it hard to be stuck as in the same body forever?”

Jonghyun hesitates, but he answers, “It’s hard for him sometimes. Sometimes he realizes how old he’s supposed to be and he wants to act older, wants to be treated like he’s older, but a lot of his mind is stuck in that of a five-year-old’s mind. It can be difficult.”

She just starts crying again, but Jonghyun says, “He loved you, you know. Wanted to turn you into a vampire when you were little so you would stay with him forever. Jinki talked him out of it, said how it wouldn’t be fair to you. He understood - he hated it, cried for days, but he understood. It was the most mature thing I think he’s ever had to do.”

Krystal looks up at Jonghyun with the most guilt-stricken face he’s ever seen on anybody. It’s as if she knows just how much pain she caused Taemin merely by being friends with him, but Jonghyun knows that he was one of the very few people who saw what Taemin was actually like once he realized he had to let Krystal grow up without him.

“That’s why I’m going to have to ask you to never come here again,” he says. “It’s not good for either of you. This has to be the last time you two see each other.”

She doesn’t say anything, but she nods her head, and Taemin comes running back just a minute later with a copy of the picture for Krystal to take with her.

“Taemin,” Jonghyun says softly as he kneels down next to him, “I think your friend is going to have to go home soon.”

“But - but she only just got here,” Taemin whines. He looks between Krystal and Jonghyun before saying, “She can stay, can’t she?”

“Taemin, it’s almost bedtime, and your friend needs to go home,” Jonghyun says. “You need to say goodbye.”

“No,” Taemin whines, his lips wobbling. “I don’t want to.”

It takes Jinki coming into the room to convince Taemin that Krystal needs to go home, and they all walk downstairs to see her out. Taemin makes sure she has the dog and picture, and he’s trying his absolute best not to cry as she kneels down to say goodbye to him.

“I won’t ever forget you,” she reassures him, pressing their foreheads together and smiling at him. “And I will never stop loving you, I promise.”

“I won’t ever forget you, either,” Taemin says, tears welling up in his eyes.

“Don’t cry,” she whispers. “Don’t cry, okay? Here, I want you to have this.”

She takes the necklace off from around her neck, and she moves to clasp it around Taemin’s neck. He takes the pendant in his hands and stares at it - it’s just a simple, small flower-shaped gold pendant, but it has a little pink gem in the middle of it, and Taemin thinks it’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen in his life. Before she can stand back up, Taemin stretches his neck out and kisses her cheek to say goodbye. She smiles at him and laughs a little, and she kisses his forehead after brushing his hair out of the way.

“Goodbye,” she tells him, standing him.

“Goodbye,” Taemin says.

He watches her walk down the steps, and when she turns to wave, he waves back.

When Jonghyun closes the door, Taemin breaks down crying, and Jinki pulls him up into his arms and tells him it’s going to be alright.

Taemin spends that day sleeping in Jinki’s bed with Jinki on one side of him and Jonghyun on the other, the both of them consoling Taemin as best they can until he falls asleep.

Taemin never sees Krystal again, but he never takes off the necklace she gave him, and everyday he holds the pendant in his hands and wonders if she’s doing alright.

Episode #6: “Someone's About To Get Torn To Shreds” - Liam

Okay heyyyy so I'm back off reflection island. And I was SHOOK watching that tribal. Andreas blindsided?? For some reason?? Apparently it was Chelsea's idea but also apparently Chelsea and Jackson wanted to throw the challenge bc they wanted me on their tribe so that's cute! Immediately when I went back I rekindled my relatonships with Danielle and Jackson. I told Jackson about my idol piece, and he told me the location of another one in case i need it. so now I just needa get to Quillynn if I ever need an idol hehe. ANYWAY. I've been back for like?? Half an hour?? AND I ALREADY MADE A MAJORITY ALLIANCE WITH CHELSEA AND JACKSON I'm truly doing that. Plus I have good relations with Danielle, who is now on the outs bc she's the last mentor and was close to Andreas, and I'm not very close to Lauren but I know her so I don't think she'd murder or target me outright. OKAY I FEEL BETTER ABOUT THIS TRIBE. I got to relax and take a break on reflection, get another idol piece, and was automatically placed into a majority on the tribe I landed on. I truly did that. How iconic!

TEA TIMEEEEEE.

So after Andreas went home, I immediately went to Jackson and asked what happened. He said he panicked cause that was the only name he heard. Now Danielle is saying that that's false.... Hmmm. Someone's about to get torn to shreds this week.

ya my student is playing a LOT of angles in this game and he got the clue from danielle and found it the next day and he hasn't told me about it. i'm glad i've been telling him everything but i still have my few secrets

Hello! And welcome to one of those times that lily decides to write a confessional. In this edition I just wanna say this challenge sucks. I feel bad for the whole group here. Trivia sucks. Double tribals sucks. But we will power through! I'm headed to Indianapolis as we speak. So far I've seen some corn and had McDonald's #ilykai . My beautiful light pink wig is sitting beside me as it bears this trip with me. So I'm in this dope alliance chat with QuilLynn, willow, Lauren, and Christine. We are called the rice girls because we formed during the rice challenge. (Did I already talk about this? Maybe yes I did oh well I've already typed it) moving on, we all had a great discussion about the last tribal. I was freaking out because I thought Lauren might be in trouble. She wasn't....but hopefully t gained me trust within the group that I really care about them. I think it was also a warning to Lauren that I really did hear these things. Chelsea told me everyone was mad at Lauren about the challenge. And Jackson told me that he thinks Lauren has an idol piece. Lauren told me she doesn't. Which is honestly fine I wouldn't expect anyone to share that kind of info unless if they really needed to. And she really might not have it. There are a lot of things out there with everyone lying about having one or not. I really love talking to Jackson! He is great with conversation loves Disney and has a lot of smart ideas as far as strategy goes. But I just can't tell if he really wants to work with me. I think he is a good person to have around but he could ended up hurting me in the end. Honestly I'm not sure. I just hope I can make it to merge and deal with it all then. That's okay....right? Yeah probably not but it's hard to predict what's gonna go on in this game. Too many twists sigh...of my tribe loses this challenge my guess is we would take Liam out but honestly who knows what could happen. I just know Liam doesn't want to work with me at all. He never messaged me back. Honestly kinda made me sad.... well Liam if you are reading this hi we can still be friends. You are probs really cool! I hope we get to know each other better.

Well, I've tried as hard as I can to work my social game, now let's see if it pays off! Jack was my closest thing to a definite vote, but maybe if I can flip Willow and Gage to thinking that us mentors need to stick together soon, we'll have a fighting chance..

Liam y u no message me back? 😢 I gotta vote for you and I know you are probably voting for me. Which I guess is fine but damn what the HECKIE

i reallly don't have a confessional but i don't want a pentalty vote so here it is

Okay so this season already seems like game changers where big threats are being taken out immediately, so it seems like my lay low strategy is paying dividends at the moment. Liam better go home tonight but if we merge after this I'm scared because I don't know if I can get into a majority alliance come merge

Hi I'm Jackson and this is my fourth confessional. This is my fourth time at tribal. I'm a little salty to be going (because I felt like I did pretty good in that jeopardy challenge, it just so happened to be the one week where it was a double tribal), but the voting is going to be pretty straightforward, I think. Lauren should be going home. She's not a very active player but she makes me nervous. She has ORG experience, so I don't want to underestimate her. Danielle is on board (she's probably pretty nervous tonight tbh considering how many mentors go home. But hopefully this will cement our bond), and Colin has formed a strong alliance with me and Chelsea, so he's cool with it too. Colin is the decoy - he's who we're telling Lauren to vote. The other tribe going to tribal is what makes me nervous. One of my closest allies, Lily, could be in trouble. The main outcast on that tribe, Jack, is on reflection island, which means Lily could be the next to go. If she wasn't currently at a convention IRL, I'd feel a little safer, as she could throw Liam under the bus and hopefully get Willow and Gage on board to vote him. But the mentors are probably feeling a little nervous about how many of their kind have been voted out. The (albeit false) prospect of a Newbies Alliance might push them to vote out the only newbie on their tribe right now. If only Lily would respond to my messages. As for idol pieces, things aren't great. Colin found another on Reflection (which rocks), so with Chelsea's piece, we should have three in total. But she gave hers to Quillynn without telling me! Which was pretty stupid. Because there's no guarantee Quillynn will give it back and Chelsea is too nervous to ask. I went hunting for that 5-digit code (which I found after two hours), but someone had already gotten it. I'm thinking it was probably Lily, which is irritating, because she's probably about to get voted out. Which is why I want to talk to her!! Ugh!! Okay, I need to get going. Let's hope there's a merge after this I guess? I'm tired of this tribe setup. Byeeee

Okay ugh back to tribal. I got a couple rounds off but now it's back to the game. A five person tribe going to tribal is already scary enough, but there's been more than enough rounds for a couple idols to be made so that's also incredibly scary. I have a majority alliance with Chelsea and Jackson but I'm trying to keep my communication super open with Danielle so that she trusts me and doesn't try anything funny. I have like no working game relationship with Lauren so I want her gone. Jackson and Chelsea want Lauren out too? perfect! She gon' be gone! I gave Chelsea and Jackson permission to use me as a decoy name to give to Lauren which could backfire, but I need to show that I trust them and it makes sense since I was on reflection island last round. They both know I have two idol pieces but hopefully with how open I'm being with them they won't try to take me out because of it. The only thing that could backfire is once they bring my name up to Lauren if she makes a good enough case to actually convince them to vote me out, even though that seems pretty unlikely. I'm not doing much in this game. I'm playing strictly socially and not strategically. Also I'm ruining my record and I should be getting a vote put on me tonight, the first one all season, even if this is like my 4th or 5th tribal. Iconic! But yeah, Lauren is probably going. That's that on that! Hopefully she doesn't play anything! Also hopefully merge is after this double tribal!

hello hi sup so basically i've been doing nothing in this game mainly because i found my ride or dies: quillynn, lauren, colin and trixie. i have danielle, my lovely mentor and her bff ryan on my side too so im not all that worried for the future. with this win in jeopardy i think i just secured my spot on merge which is really hype but who knows?? anything can happen really! i love danielle and im so grateful for everything she has done for me and i hope we get to work together at merge! i dont think i'd be able to win this game bc i have literally done nothing at all so i guess we will see what happens!

bye lauren, didn't wanna vote ya but y'know! hopefully liam leaves tonight too hehe

So jeopardy was fun! Me and Ryan killed it and are avoiding tribal which means I'll at least get to tie my Sri Lanka placement! On the other side of things, I got closer to Ryan and told him about my idol piece since it's obvious one of us were gonna get one this round. He also let me know about the ones people might've gotten...one of them including my dear student Lauren. I can't really complain cause I haven't told her about mine but it's good to know. If she survives this maybe her, me, Ryan and Jackson can work together. Recently I've been kinda scared cause the mentors keep leaving so hopefully the double doesn't continue that pattern.

I am dominating this game. Muahaha. My student loves me. I love them. I am winning this game for my besties Mitchell and Rob! (This was from TS alum Rob)

Lmao so since Jack got sent to Reflection Island we only have a 4 person tribe now, and I thought 5 person tribes weren't fun but oh boy 4 person tribes are even worse. So of course I'm forced to do jeopardy since Lily is on vacation, and Liam is working all the time. And just in general I'm a flop at jeopardy so fun times, and I got Gage negative points in jeopardy oops. Anyway Liam thinks I'm with him and hes offering me a place in the majority alliance or whatever bc they need more mentors. Like yeah he has a point that its been a mentor going home besides the first vote but I don't think theres an all student alliance I just think its been a coincidence or whatever. Also the idea of there having been a majority alliance since like the 2nd round is really dumb like they're just gonna self destruct and I'm gonna sit watching with my popcorn ready. So it should be Liam going home tonight unless they're trying to pull a blindside but I'm fine with him leaving tbh bc hes kinda inactive and really power hungry. Also I'm really really hoping for a merge soon since its a double tribal.
