The Strategist Everyone Ignores - An Appreciation Post and Analysis

This is my first Tumblr post and I decided to start with this 💀 Great decision, really.

I feel like, despite being one of, if not THE most competent strategists from gen 1, barely anyone mentions how amazing Sadie's gameplay in TDI is. This is an appreciation post towards all the many traits that make Sadie one of the most amazing strategists in TD history, and if you say anything negative about Sadie, like, ever, I WILL cry and that IS a threat because my dad DOES work at Nintendo and his sugar daddy DOES work at Fresh TV, so he WILL make Damien the first boot next season if you make me cry.

Now, let's go through Sadie's amazing gameplay this season:

Episode 1: Not So Happy Campers - Part 1

Sadie joins the show in the first episode of the show, which already proves her strategic prowess. Like, girl competed before characters like Priya were even BORN, they have NOTHING on her.

She immediately shows a love for summer camps, which fulfills two very important roles:

She shows that she is good in a summer camp setting, making herself out as a more valuable teammate right out the gate.

She immediately praises Chris' decisions, which would make him biased towards her. As we can see in the final 4, whether the hosts like you or not can literally decide your survival.

All in all, this was a great strategic play.

But that is not all. When she realizes she will be apart from Katie, she realizes her easy alliance will immediately be broken up. In order to form a new one, she complains, which induces sympathy from the rest of the cast, which could be amazing for her social game.

She then interacts with Courtney for an easy alliance early on. Katie, meanwhile, achieves NOTHING in her ENTIRE LIFE.

Episode 2: Not So Happy Campers - Part 2

In this episode, she convinces Chris to let Katie and Izzy switch teams. Another amazing play. Remember, Katie is an easy alliance member for Sadie to use as a pawn, and while Katie was doing jackshit on the Gophers, Sadie was busy starting her manipulation process on Courtney to make her another alliance mate eventually. Thus, she would want both Katie and Courtney on HER team, which makes this an overall great strategic play.

She then does perfectly in the challenge. Or, she would have, had she not needed to piss. This is another amazing point of strategy from Sadie.

Despite messing up the challenge due to her human flaws (which make her more relatable to fellow contestants AND the audience), she is still able to escape elimination. Had she murdered one of the Gopher girls, Ezekiel wouldn't have made his sexist remarks, and her pawn Courtney would have been in danger. Luckily, she refrained from committing (wo)manslaughter, which only served to increase the quality of her gameplay.

Episode 3: The Big Sleep

This episode is a bit quieter for Sadie, but we do see another one of her strengths here. She plays an amazing game of staying under the radar, which is not praised enough, honestly. Had she gone into a rage like Eva, she might have been eliminated, but he stellar gameplay let her and Katie both survive the elimination ceremony.

Episode 4: Dodgebrawl

This is the only episode where Katie surpasses Sadie in gameplay, but it's not Sadie's fault that Katie's good with balls 🙄 Still, she manages to stay under the radar once more, letting Tyler be a much bigger target.

Episode 5: Not Quite Famous

Sadie attempts to participate in the challenge, but is shot down, which is great for her. If the others choose not to let her compete, she can easily fly under the radar as always. And if she was chosen? Well, we know she would have won her team the challenge. No need for Harold, just, as a human being, Sadie's got it all covered.

Episode 6: The Sucky Outdoors

You might think "Yes! This is where Sadie's gameplay falls apart!", but you are WRONG. About EVERYTHING. EVER.

As you may have noticed, Courtney shot down her dance last episode and encouraged Tyler, who threw a ball in her face, in episode 3. All this proves that Courtney is an active liability in her alliance. Also keep in mind that Courtney has sucked major ass in 3 out of 4 challenges so far. Courtney is a horrid leader and an even horrider alliance member, and that is why she split from the rest of the Bass. She knew Courtney would only cause the Bass another loss.

However, one thing Sadie's strategy could never have accounted for, is Katie hating overweight people. Through their fight, Katie made it abundantly clear that she is a volatile, untrustworthy alliance member. Not one worth keeping around.

While she graciously decides to continue her friendship with Katie, she also knows that Katie, like Courtney, has become a liability. That's why Sadie runs faster than Katie and reaches camp first, to make sure that Katie is eliminated.

She pretends to be sad about Katie's elimination, but in truth, it's all going according to her master plan. Heather could NEVER.

Episode 7: Phobia Factor

Another great alliance-building day for Sadie. First, she repeats her strategy from episode 1, pretending to be in a weaker state for sympathy. This works, and she quickly gains a potential ally in Bridgette.

But that's not all, of course. During the rest of the episode, she does some alliance-building with Lindsay. You might be thinking that this decision is stupid, but Heather did mention her alliance with Lindsay in episode 4, the only alliance officially confirmed yet. With this information, she can attempt to get in good with Lindsay to hopefully join their alliance during the merge portion of the game.

Really, another genius play. Courtney could NEVER.

Episode 8: Up the Creek

Sadie builds her social game a bit more this episode, choosing to ally herself with both Duncan and Harold. Her social game this season is honestly amazing. So far, she has potential allies in Lindsay, Heather, Bridgette, Harold and Duncan. Her alliance would be HALF THE MERGE CAST if everyone in it reached merge.

Alejandro could NEVER.

Episode 9: Paintball Deer Hunter

Another amazing episode where Sadie shows off her strategy of staying under the radar. She makes no enemies or pulls attention to herself this entire episode, and think about how this episode turns out.

Heather stays in the game because Cody is useless after being mauled by a bear. Now, let's think about who kept that bear from going back to its cave a few episodes ago. That's right, it's Sadie. Had Sadie let the bear enter the cave, we might have lost Heather this episode, and Sadie's alliance-building with Lindsay would have been way less useful.

Again, Sadie harnesses elements of the game no one has even considered by this point to give herself an advantage. Scott could NEVER.

Episode 10: If You Can't Take the Heat...

Sadie performs well in the challenge, continues to stay under the radar, AND deepens her alliance with Harold, who has been proven to be great at challenges and awful at the social part of the game, making him a perfect shield for her to use.

Mal could NEVER.

Episode 11: Who Can You Trust?

Her one bad strategic decision winds up catching up to her this episode: Abandoning her alliance with Courtney. This ends up being awful for her.

While Sadie has allies in Bridgette and Harold, Duncan is more likely to side with Courtney, and DJ and Geoff are just Duncan's followers this season. Courtney's rivalry with Sadie is thus a threat to Sadie's stay in the game.

Sadie tries to combat this by trying to give Courtney permanent brain damage (relatable), but her plan fails, and Sadie is eliminated. She leaves in tears, but knows that she at least still has her best friend, Katie.

But this is not where Sadie's gameplay ends. No, her strategy this season continues EVEN PAST HER ELIMINATION.

Episode 22: Haute Camp-ture

This episode shows Sadie's strength of character. She starts no drama with Courtney, is content with her life despite losing, and even faces the first enemy she had in this game, piss, when Izzy pisses in the pool. But Sadie comes out of that experience STRONGER.

Sadie also displays a dislike for Heather, which just proves how amazing she is. Despite hating Heather, she was actively planning to join her alliance, because Sadie KNOWS how to seperate her feelings and the game.

But her strategy only continues.

Sadie knows how this is gonna end. She knows that the only way for her to gain anything by the end is if someone stupid enough to waste their money on a giant party wins. Like, say, Owen.

And who is Owen's biggest threat? Who is the only one who could rival Owen's social game? That's right: LESHAWNA.

Sadie orchestrated Leshawna's elimination to increase Owen's chances of winning. Speaking of...

Episode 26: The Very Last Episode, Really!

We know that Owen is the canonical winner, and a huge part of Gwen's loss is that she just kinda gave up halfway through the race for a sec like a total dumbass.

Now, what does Sadie do this episode? She supports Gwen. You might think that this means she did not mean to support Owen by eliminating Leshawna, but as always, you are WRONG.

She switches to Owen's side when he mentions her true goal: the party. She is just keeping her options open, ready to betray Gwen the moment she gets confirmation that she could get what she wants.

But that isn't all. By betraying Gwen during the finale, she messes with her head and makes her lose motivation. And what could a lack of motivation lead to? GIVING UP. Sadie messed with Gwen's head enough to ensure Owen's win.

Sadie's Impact On Total Drama: World Tour

While this appreciation post about TDI, her contribution to WT, while important, is not grand enough to warrant a post on its own.

Let's consider the following, though: Sadie wants to compete in another season alongside the rest of gen 1. As such, she needs to start drama, drama that will keep her protected and drama that she is uninvolved enough in to let her stay under the radar.

We know Sadie has spent time with Gwen in between TDA and WT. And what did Gwen do in between TDA and WT? Develop a crush on Duncan. I am entirely convinced that Sadie planted the seeds for the love triangle to give herself an advantage in the game.

No other character has done this! She prepared a strategy for a season she wasn't even guaranteed to compete in! Just think about it. Without the love triangle, Heather would just NOT have won.

Sadie directly impacts TWO out of THREE wins of the gen 1 cast.

Conclusion:

Sadie is one of the best strategists of the entire franchise and deserves more respect.

There is more Sadie does, but I'll be off to take my meds now.

For the lovely @lesbians-love-samwilson

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me

At tea time, everybody agrees

I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero -Taylor Swift

She wasn't always like this.

She had dreams, aspirations, fell in love once or twice, but in the end it came to naught—because she was cursed to be a monster.

As if she didn't feel monstrous enough before.

So as she sits for her portrait, the last of the few she has, she'll turn to the one thing that has never deserted her: Music."

Hannibal (TV Series: The Menu AU - Fanstory: 'The Feast'

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: Will and his wife, Molly Graham-Foster, receive an invitation from the Famous Chef, Hannibal Lecter, to come to the Island of Varnas to celebrate the opening of his new restaurant "The Ravenstag" where also found out they are not the only ones who have been invited.

The reason being is Hannibal knows all their secrets they hide.

So begins a series of who is telling the truth? What is gain behind all of this and how is Will connected to the mysterious Head Chef known as Hannibal Lecter?

-----------------------------

Notes:

Inspired by the film trailer of the film 'The Menu' a black comedy horror, involving the actor Ralph Fiennes.

Invitation, Guest List and Menu created using Canva.

For @apastandfuturenerd , @hannibalsimago , @thewitchofstjohns and the rest of fannibals out there.

-----------------------------

PART 1 - The Invitation and a Link to One's Forgotten Memories'

A cold, bitter snap is hanging in the air when Will Graham comes up the Hunting Cabin path, close to the frozen lake covered in thick ice and snow closely followed by pack of dogs, carrying in both of his hands a bundle of chopped wood for the fire, while sees waiting on the cabin porch is his wife - Molly Foster-Graham - holding two mugs in her hands.

"Got some more chopped logs for the fire." Will tells her, coming up the wooden steps to head inside where he places the chopped logs close to the fireplace where a fire is gently crackling in the hearth in the log basket, while the group of dogs - except for one, a golden mongrel retriever who waits near the doorway cocking it's head to one side to watch Will doing the task - come in, heading to the various dog beds that scattered about in the dining/sitting area.

"You're such a darling, Will Graham." Molly says to him, making Will softly smile and getting up heads back outside onto the porch, stopping to bend down to greet Winston who wags his tail in delight at getting some attention from him.

"Hmm..."

Continuing to give Winston skritches and rubs, Will wonders why that word 'darling' felt so familiar to him - had someone said it to him in the past maybe.

He didn't know the answers, because most of his past memories were so fractured that when he had asked Doctors about it they had said it make a take very long time before certain memories return to him because having been diagnosed with long-term amnesia.

Whether he would ever get answers he didn't know. And even if he did would they even make sense.

---------------------------------------------

Lying under the duvet cover of the king-size bed, Will finds for some unknown reason that he cannot sleep, so he rolls to lay on his back staring up at the wooden beamed cieling wondering what had woken him up.

Had it been the strange dream again that he continued on having about a strange, mysterious creature with the body of a large stag and raven feathers covering every inch of it's body padding through a forest of tall needle-shaped trees, the autumn leaves having already fallen off them crunching under Will's bare feet and the distant sound of ravens cawing as they flew overhead in the white sky above.

Hearing Molly shifting beside him, he realises he must have woken her up so goes to turn his face to say something only notices she is checking her phone for the time - because of being small-time vet, his wife had early shifts so doubt she was checking to see if there any messages about her upcoming shift - then mutters something under her breath, before pulling her side of the duvet cover back to slip out of bed.

She says nothing, instead heads out to the bathroom leaving Will deciding he needs to make a hot cup of coffee so sliding out of the bed, picking up his threadbare night-gown to wrap around himself - one which Molly said that at some point he would gave to throw out and get a new one - and heads downstairs to the kitchen area in the dining/sitting area about to flick on the small kitchen lamp when something like paper being shoved under the door makes him look up seeing briefly the shadow of figure disappearing of the porch.

The strange thing was that the dogs hadn't barked when it had been slid under the gap of the cabin door, so heading over bends down to pick it up seeing when he turns it over his and Molly's name written in ornate script.

Who would be writing to them?

There was no-one he really knew that would write a letter to them like this?

Most of Molly's friends emailed or sent postcards or parcels, but never a letter with ornate script on it.

Puzzled by it, Will gets back up with it in his hand at the sametime Molly is coming downstairs towelling her damp hair dry with a small towel then stills at the sight of him holding the letter.

"What is it? Has someone sent us a letter or something?" She asks him, heading over to put the kitchen light on so can see what she is doing and placing the letter on the kitchen counter for her to see, Will decides to light the fire in the hearth to warm up the dining/sitting area.

"I don't know. Do you recognise the handwriting?" He replies, asking her whether it was familiar seeing how briefly she almost seems to recognise it - whether it been a trick in the dimmed kitchen light that her eyes had widened with shock and fear - before shaking her head at him.

"No. Can't say I recognise it, Will."

Accepting the answer for now, Will begins to build up the fire listening to steady whistling of the boiling of the kettle, the clinking of mugs being taken out of the cupboard and the dogs shifting in their sleep in the dog beds before settling back down again.

"I see you later, alright. Don't forget to pick up Wally from his friend's house."

"What was the address again?"

"You forgotten?!"

"I....No....I mean...Yes...but..."

"Oh, Will. Here's the address. I'll see you later, alright!!!"

Sitting in the armchair close to the fireplace, Will once more looks at the letter which is his wife, Molly had said she didn't recognise the handwriting - but yet why would her eyes show fear and shock at the sight of it? Why had she lied to him? - then slitting the letter open, sees lying within is an invitation card, a guest list and a menu - well if one could really call it that it was more drawings of food representing what might be on it.

--------------------------------

Looking at this, he finds himself complementing who would be sending this to him and Molly.

Why were they both being invited to the opening of restaurant he had never heard of?

And just, who was this mysterious Head Chef called Hannibal Lecter and why did the name sound so familiar to him - like in his forgotten past maybe had known this person?

--------------------------------

Notes:

Flashback in italics

Reference in the flashback Hannibal experiencing an illness which still affects him

-----------------------------

PART 2 - ' A Memory of a Past of One's Lover and Introduction to the Chef' (1 of 2)

A figure walks calmly on a long stretch of beach, listening quietly to the waves going back and forth across the sand and pebbles combined on the beach before reaches the sand-dunes covered by the swaying sea-grass where at the top of one of them a man sits on a wooden bench made from some driftwood busy sketching the view in front of them.

"Hannibal, there you are. Abigail called to say that she will be able to travel on Wednesday to visit us."

Turning his head, Hannibal Lecter - famous chef, once known for hosting amazing dinner parties at his Baltimore, Maryland Restaurant before a fateful incident had made him take a hiatus to head to the Island of Varnas - looks at his fiancé-to-be.

Placing the pencil down in the margin of the sketchpad, he closes it to place to one side out the way before shifting on the driftwood bench to allow Will to sit down beside him.

"Are you alright?" Will asks him, taking hold of both his hands to rub some warmth with Hannibal weakly smiling that is fiancé-to-be is concerned about his health.

"I'm fine, Myilamis, just...." Hannibal replies, indicating his heart then fisting his hand into his coat to indicate gripping pain.

"You're heart has been troubling you, Should I book another appointment with the mainland Doctor?"

Lifting his head having it lowered it to look at the special wedding ring he had chosen for Will on his fiancé-to-be finger, he goes to shake his head in reply when a cough rising up makes him place a hand to his mouth where the coughing becomes more heavier feeling something more than spit cover his hand.

Shakily pulling it back, he sees that crimson petals cover it completely before another bout of coughing happens, distantly hearing Will shouting for Chiyoh - who have been watching them from the cabin attached to the new restaurant being built - to get the boat ready and that they are taking Hannibal to the Hospital on the mainland immediately.

"Will....wait..." Hannibal tries to say, only to collapse against Will's chest as blackness sweeps into his vision covering it completely, while he swears he can hear raven cawing in the far distance before remembers nothing thereafter.

Shooting his eyes open, Hannibal Lecter, reaches a hand up to pull the plastic oxygen mask steadily supplying him with fresh oxygen so his lungs didn't fail on him off before sitting up trembling heavily.

Why had his mind made him experience such cruel memory?

His darling Myilamis was gone, buried six foot under close to their favourite viewing point on the Island of Varnas.

So, why?

Love is Patient, Love is Blind - Ch. 1

At first, they weren’t sure Jon would make it.

Martin woke up in the basement of Hilltop Road, curled around Jon’s body in the same protective embrace he’d held him in at the Panopticon what felt like only moments before.

It was Jon’s body and not Jon because his heart wasn’t beating. He’d needed to die to cut the tether, so that’s what he’d done.

Martin didn’t know how he’d gotten Jon’s heart going again. He’d learned enough from caring for his mum to know that CPR didn’t work on people who died from physical trauma. Restarting your heart didn’t matter when you’d been killed by blood loss.

But Martin panicked and tried anyway and somehow it worked.

He immediately bundled his shirt over the wound to stop further bleeding and found an old wired phone at the bottom of the stairs. Praying it worked, he dialed the one number he had memorized: Basira’s.

By some miracle, she picked up.

“Martin?” she’d said, incredulous, and then spent the next minute trying to calm Martin down enough to understand what he was saying. “I’m on my way, keep him from bleeding out.”

Five minutes later there was a knock and, surprised Basira had been so close, Martin dashed upstairs to let her in.

It wasn’t Basira.

A man with a large briefcase and long coat stood on the step. “Basira called me. Where is he?”

“I- w-what? Who are you?”

The man pushed inside impatiently. “Dr. Midec, a friend of Basira’s. Now, take me to your friend so I can keep him alive.”

“Boyfriend,” Martin muttered as he led the doctor down. He opened his case to reveal an array of medical equipment. Martin watched him work, trying to stay out of the way and help where he could. Please don’t die, Jon, you promised together, don’t go where I can’t follow, hold on Jon, hold on…

And then the doctor was asking for Martin’s hand to prick a finger and test blood type. The time it took to process was the longest five minutes of Martin’s life, even as he watched the doctor set up a field transfusion kit just in case.

O Negative. He could save Jon.

He gladly held out his arm and nearly sighed with relief watching the blood pump through the tubing. A forever and a half later, color began to creep back into Jon’s cheeks and his breathing seemed easier. Martin started to relax, just a little.

Then Basira was there exchanging rapid words with the doctor but Martin was too exhausted to bother paying attention. He held Jon’s hand and allowed himself to drift for a while. He woke when Basira shoved orange juice and a small packet of biscuits into his hands and ordered him to drink up. He obeyed without argument.

He realized the doctor was gone. When had he left?

Basira sat next to him as he nibbled his biscuits without speaking; she seemed to understand his silence.

The doctor returned, carrying a new suitcase and a long, bagged object. He gave the suitcase to Basira and opened the bag to reveal a cot. He swiftly set it up, then he and Basira gently moved Jon onto it. Then the doctor left again.

“What happened?”

Martin blinked at Basira, who was sitting next to him against the wall again. He opened his mouth, closed it, and then tried again. He numbly explained everything to her, the words spilling out of him as if on their own accord. He told her about how after he sent them to blow the gas line he ran up the stairs as fast as he could, how when he burst into the room at the top of the Panopticon he’d thought he’d made it on time. Then he’d seen Elias’s body and he felt like his life had ended too.

Basira’s horrified expression melted into pity as he told her about how he’d tried to get Jon to leave, get him out of the tower; how there was no other choice, that Jon held him and curled into him as they were swept away by the Web, how Jon died in his arms. That he woke up here and somehow… somehow Jon was still here and they had a chance.

And then Basira told him that it had been a year. A whole year since they stopped the Nightmare World. She explained that people remembered, and people knew that the Archivist started all of it; that even though the memory was fading, like a bad dream, there were still a lot of people who would know Jon and a lot that would want to hurt him.

“But… he saved them.”

“Most of them don’t care,” Basira said not unkindly. “It’s probably best the two of you stay out of sight for a while. Harv and I will take care of everything for you until it’s safe to move Jon.”

“Where can we go?” Martin asked miserably.

“We’ll figure it out. For now both of you need to rest. No-” she said, holding up her hand to stop Martin’s next question. “I’ll answer more questions when you’re a little more coherent. You look l ready to pass out any moment.”

Martin acquiesced, lacking the energy to argue. She wasn’t wrong.

Dr. Midec returned with a second cot, which Basira helped him set up next to Jon’s.

“I’ll be back in about an hour with some blankets and food,” Basira promised. “Nobody comes in here, so as long as you’re quiet, you should be reasonably safe. I own the property anyway, so it’s not like you’re squatting.”

Martin’s brow furrowed, but he knew she would only shake her head. She was right; he was tired. After Dr. Midec assured him he would check in every hour and Basira further promised to return with supplies soon, Martin crawled onto his cot and, with his hand firmly clasped around Jon’s, fell asleep.

jealous ratio bc i wont him, inspired by the simulated universe occurrence, banter about marriage hehe

"Dr. No. 5 asked me to be his research partner today," you mumble half-heartedly to Veritas. It was an ordinary night, you're curled into his side with your phone in hand, watching the latest series you've been invested in whilst he occupies his mind with a book, held by one hand whilst his other is wrapped around you.

However, when he registers your confession, he tenses, slightly scrunching the pages of his book as the arm around you stiffens, muscles contracting.

"And what did you say?" He asks, feigning collectedness.

"I agreed."

His book slams shut and he shoots upward to a sitting position, baffled by the nonchalance of your tone. How cruel, you have betrayed him in the most despicable of ways, do you not care? Agreeing to be someone else's research partner is akin to that of spitting on his heart and stomping it flat, have you no respect for the laws of academic loyalty (there is no such thing), or is he the only one in your relationship devoted to it?

An idiot. You will be working with an idiot and you somehow see no flaw in that, where is your integrity as his lover?

"What does that fool have that I don't?" He all but cries, yanking your phone from your hands and setting it on his bedside table.

"What are you blabbering about?" You ask, looking up at him with inquisitive eyes, confusion shining in your irises.

"I'm supposed to be your only research partner, I cannot believe that you've gone and betrayed me like this."

"Pray tell, Veritas, how is this a 'betrayal'?"

"I would never choose to be anyone's research partner if I'm not yours, but today I've discovered that my devotion is not only unreciprocated, but unappreciated! How unfathomable."

The purple-haired turns his muscular back to you, giving you the cold shoulder. Slowly you sit up and lean on his toned body, hand resting on his deltoid and you can already see the way he tries to fight the effects of your touch. "Dear, you wouldn't be anyone else's research partner because you think majority of people are 'idiots' and aren't worthwhile academics to invest time into."

"Precisely why I cannot believe that you have agreed to work with No. 5, who is undeniably, irrefutably, and undoubtedly, a simpleton!"

You bite your tongue when it threatens to spill that you think No. 5 is not as bad as Veritas assumes, but that would outrage the scholar even more and you do not want to spend the better half of your day purposefully ruining it.

"The pay was good," you reason, daring to place a kiss to his neck. "But you are still superior in my heart, Veritas. Do not fret, if I am to seek a research partner, you would be my first and only choice."

"How long will your project span for?" He asks begrudgingly.

"6 months of research, writing, and editing. After that, I am not too involved with the publishing process."

"Oh how it stains me picturing your name beside another imbecile's."

You sigh, sitting up straighter to wrap both arms around his neck. "Your name could be beside mine permanently if you got down to one knee and presented me a ring, but alas, perhaps I shall be waiting another few research papers for that to happen."

You can't see the fond smile on his face, but you yelp when he turns around suddenly to push you against the comfort of your mattress, his lips claiming yours.
