#my revenge on kk is almost done
merp-blerp · 7 days
Text
Just got done with TTPD a while ago. After some thinking a re-listening to some songs, my only analysis autopsy so far is:
"FOTS" and its talk about childhood romance gives "INTHAF" and "Seven" vibes. BUT SHE HASN'T HAD ANY PUBLICLY KNOWN FORBIDDEN CHILDHOOD ROMANCES—GEEE WONDER WHAT THAT'S ABOUT—ALMOST LIKE WE DON'T KNOW ALL THE ROMANCES SHE'S HAD—
"To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams." KK said Taylor was like the American dream when they met.
"WAOLOM" sounds like she's planning revenge on the closet-ers who raised her.
"Clara Bow" is giving me major KK vibes, especially "You look like Taylor Swift", with all the twinning. I have a feeling this will be the "Question...?" of this album, where general audiences won't know what to make of it, but I could be wrong. Time to find photos of KK that look like Clara Bow and Stevie Nicks. She wrote her own Michelle Pfeiffer lyric. ;)
This is likely not the big coming-out album, but it feels like it's inching there. Always inching. I'm happy to do so with her.
See you guys at 2AM! Maybe—I don't know what's going on—

ETHUBS COFFEE SHOP AU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
EEEE oke so i imagine it like .. modern-ish ?
Both of them are like mid 20ies methinks But Etho looks much younger because of his style (i had to take the opportunity to put eefo in alt clothes. im not sorry) And as the note in art said, Bdubs is basically a plant mom– Bonus points if Etho turned out to be older than Bdubs after Bdubs would call him a kid. I- I see this happening. Even more bonus points if Bdubs is transmasc bcs i take this as a option here Alrighty so how i see the whole caffe- Surely it's in vintage style, there's a lot of plants and books on the shelves and vinyls on the walls….. pics i found on pinterest that kinda give me the vibe:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh and also! Scar and Ren work there with Bdubs! Scar always brings Jellie there and she often sleeps in pots.. Can you imagine Bdubs’ face when he was watering all the plants and in one of them he found a sleeping Jellie.. 
IMAGINE IF JELLIE WALKED INTO A JUST WATERED PLANT OH NO SHE’D BE COVERED IN DIRT……. I think Jellie chews on dirt too… and bites leaves.. Yeah it’s fun there- Also Grian shows up only when Scar’s there. He says it’s not on purpose but we all know the truth :>
Okok but back to ethubs LMAO
Etho when he shows up in caffe for the first time he just finds the most quiet and hidden corner and sits there. As much as he loves black coffee it’s actually not the first one he orders! He asks Bdubs for a recommendation, he mentions he likes black coffee but is like. y'know i haven't been here before i might as well try something you have to offer… Bdubs gayass brain is already turned on because. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GUY! THE GUY IN FRONT OF HIM! HOLY SHIT HE'S SO PRETTY WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! Bdubs is glad Etho didn’t give him exact order because he would fuck it up v badly. 
So he goes to prepare the coffee, but first; he almost starts screaming. He's flushed. His face is literally a tomato.  Ren looks at him and acts surprised like it has never happened before…….. But then Bdubs realizes he forgot to ask him for a name to put on his cup. Well fuck- (BONUS POINTS IF HE WROTE “emo boy :)” THERE..... IT’D BE SO FUCKING FUNNY..............) He draws a little butterfly :) He likes butterflies :) Etho doesn’t have to know it yet :)
But hey after all Etho did enjoy his coffee! And he even showed up another day again! Win for Bdubs’ gay ass !!!1 And that time he actually asked for the name just to misspell it immediately  yes he wrote “eefo” .. 
So yeah Etho was showing up like every two days or so- Bdubs kept misspelling his name but Etho figured that after a while he was doing it just to annoy him.
Etho’s revenge for misspelling his name was to order the most insane coffee in the world. Bdubs had to write it down because he knew there was no way for him to remember this shit. And afterwards he wrote Epoo on the cup:) 
JKAFHAKJ OK I'M DONE FOR NOW….. IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED I MIGHT WRITE SOME MORE STUFF JUST LEMME KNOW!!!
wait no i have some more random info– 
bdubs loves butterflies 
he has tiny colorful tattoos with flowers n butterflies all over his hands
He collects stuff found on the ground. of course he does.
he sees a flying insect. he tries to catch it. with his hands.
bug lover. ren hates him for it
etho keeps cups with his name being misspelled. not every but only the ones he finds funny
he/they eefo propaganda hello
sometimes he brings his sketchbook and doodles flowers . there's a few doodles of bdubs in there and that's the only reason he doesn't let him look at the doodles….
one time while paying he slipped butterfly doodles to give bdubs bc he figured bdubs is obsessed with them 
KK NOW I'M DONE TY FOR READING MY SILLY BRAINROT UR EPIC <3

via Today Bharat Being in power does not necessarily mean projecting a towering personality that creates fear. Power is not an opportunity to widen empathy gaps. Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, banned guns immediately after the Christchurch mosque killings, the biggest terror attack in the country’s modern history. Rarely have we seen a leader alter the gun laws of a country to restrict the possession of firearms by citizens as a response to a terror attack that took 51 lives. When asked about what led to this decision in an interview by the Guardian, Jacinda Ardern replied, “Very little of what I have done has been deliberate. It’s intuitive. I think it’s just the nature of an event like this. There is very little time to sit and think in those terms. You just do what feels right.” Throughout history, world leaders have seldom felt that the right thing to do in the face of targeted violence is to avoid starting a bloody war. But Jacinda felt otherwise. Time magazine featured her on its cover and described her approach to leadership as “a new kind of soft power.” When we think of power, we imagine hierarchy, stature and the capacity to coerce people into doing what the person in power wants. We imagine something that is inherently evil. Can power also be soft? Or, do women use power differently? KK Shailaja, a tangible example Being a Malayali woman residing in Kerala during the COVID-19 events, there has been an unprecedented, significant shift in how I perceive the notion of power, thanks to our Minister for Health and Social Welfare, KK Shailaja. When I watch her speak, I see a woman in power who subverts my perception of power being a tool for suppression. Shailaja is a tangible example for me as well as many women across the state, for the positive, compassionate, nuanced exercise of power. She had been widely appreciated for her efficient interventions during the Nipah outbreak in the state, which facilitated fast diagnosis and effective containment of the deadly virus. However, owing to the prolonged nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is only now that we have gotten the opportunity to hear her address the citizens more frequently. She comes across as objective and assertive without being dictatorial or one-sided. Even her criticism is factual and lacks the self-importance that most of her male counterparts often exhibit. This language of power is distinct from what we have been used to. What makes KK Shailaja’s exercise of power positive is her understanding of the fundamental purpose of the power invested in her. People in power often fail to recognise the essential ‘why’ of power. In a democracy, power rests with the people. It is the people who transfer their power to those they elect. Therefore, the power that rests with our representatives is transferred by us, it is in essence the power of us, the people. Then why is it that our politicians succeed at making us feel powerless? Revenge, control, conquest: The masculine narrative While investigating the negative exercise of power, it is relevant to note that important positions of power have historically, almost always been invested in men. Be it in families, societies or countries, it is men who have continuously held the power to make decisions. Men have set the tone and context for the execution of power through their prolonged disposal of it. Therefore, the inherent suppressive nature of power as we perceive it, is largely a male narrative that has been normalised by constant use. The patriarchal idea that revenge, control and conquest are the defining traits of masculinity is yet another tangent of the problem. Men often feel pressured to be violent and arrogant in order to reinforce their power. For them, it becomes more about feeling powerful, than exercising the power vested in them. This personalisation of power is highly destructive and counterproductive. Popular culture has also only reiterated the chest-thumping, alpha male prototype of male identity and nationalism. The popular idea that a leader becomes worthy of respect only if he hangs an enemy’s head on a spike, no matter how many lives it costs is a thriving narrative spanning from the epics to Baahubali. In politics, if a leader decides that feeling powerful is more important than disposing his power for the welfare of his people, the very purpose of power is corrupted. This could perhaps explain the apathy, mockery and occasional irreverence in the US President Donald Trump’s responses to the pandemic and why he stands in stark contrast to Jacinda Ardern with respect to gun laws despite extensive violence in the country. While most men turn the exercise of power into a personal game of self-importance, women are able to use power in more discerning ways. The society does not expect a woman in power to be as effective or successful as a man. Her failure is eagerly anticipated. Therefore, women have a space to try and err without self-defeat, which they can use to create their own interpretations of power. Jacinda Ardern and KK Shailaja are able to give power a personality of their own because they recognise these stereotypes and consciously refuse to let their conduct be defined or limited by such boundaries. Power, like every other idea, has nuance. We are taught to believe that power has to be authoritarian. Even when we speak of powerful women, one of the first examples that comes up is Indira Gandhi. Indira’s use of power also followed the masculine narrative of it. She is perhaps accepted as a powerful personality by our society because she was authoritarian, ‘like a man’, so to say. KK Shailaja on the other hand, asks the Kerala Legislative Assembly what the problem is with a woman being in power in response to an MLA’s observation that the state of West Bengal is doing well “even though a woman holds the office of Chief Minister.” Her question is loaded. She does not only ask what the problem is for a particular sex to be in power, but also why a woman cannot exercise power in her own ways, sans the constant burden of having to be ‘good enough’ as a man in power. She recognises the importance of political nuance. She is fiercely aware of the misogyny that surrounds her, and she seems determined to engage with it. This is not to discount or take away from the contributions and struggles of women like Indira Gandhi, Jayalalithaa, Mayawati and others who have been in power, but to point out that most of them have had to always pander to the male version of it to be accepted, without perhaps realising it. Shailaja makes a significant shift in conduct. KK Shailaja asks important questions and lives their answers. For a woman like me, who grew up embracing popular masculine standards of power, Shailaja is a formidable example, an accessible game changer. She does not feel threatened to acknowledge the contributions of her team in taking forward the tasks helmed by her, an expression of personal security few male leaders showcase. She humanises her power position by admitting to slips of tongue during interviews and acknowledging factual errors when she commits them, even while being heavily trolled by an army of online haters, predominantly men. Women like Jacinda Ardern and KK Shailaja are helping me unlearn the inherent moral negativity of power. They teach me and the world that being in power does not necessarily mean projecting a towering personality that creates fear. Power is not an opportunity to widen empathy gaps. We must not let our masculine perceptions of power succeed in narrowing its possibilities, or inhibiting its respectful and objective exercise. Leadership is about understanding the fundamental purpose of the use of power, of truly embracing its end goal – welfare, without making it personal or gendered for acceptance. That is exactly what these women do, lead by example and teach us our lessons in unlearning.

EPISODE 4: MY FAMILY MOVED AND MY NEW HOUSE IS ON A STREET CALLED SHADY LANE ~John
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ok so........ tonight was awesome. we totally smoked nehe and his alliance. they honestly had no idea that logan had the idol. the only problem is that logan kept telling people that they knew they were being voted for. which i initially thought would throw a wrench in our plan to get out nehe, but it turned out fine. mostly i was worried that if they knew that logan knew, they would switch their vote to me. next time theyre most likely going for me, unless something changes. so we gotta get sara on our side, even though she voted for logan. we think we can trust her though, since we assume the vote that said "you really seem like a cool person but I've heard my name so this is what I have to do" was her, because we brought up her name to throw the others off.
anyways, im excited for everyone else to come online and see the mess they made by trynna vote off logan. and im excited to see how the next tribal council goes down now that they know its not gonna be that easy to knock us off.
Tumblr media
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL THAT WAS SO GOOD! Im so happy the vote went our way but now we need to regroup and get another person on our side. i'm hoping sara like sees that alex and john coffey can't be trusted since they flipped on us so quickly what would stop them from flipping on sara? Like KK i think im in a good but bad spot like i feel as if i could easily be out next where if we get sara or another advantage we should be good. i'm glad im with the group i'm in though like i have a trustworthy group tbh
Tumblr media
So Carson wants to do the Hero Challenge.
I hope he wins
Luckily it's reward so nothing will matter if he loses or wins
Tumblr media
drew is a poop head
Tumblr media
Ohhh boy I'm pissed. I'm in a similar situation I was in Malaysia in Tumblr. My friend got out and I decided to be a bitch about it. Nah, I'm not going to be petty. I'm just going to get revenge.
Tumblr media
Jk I love drew. Anyway im so glad that FUCKING play worked and I hope Nehemiah regrets everything he's ever done. I'm not going down that easy, bitch.
Tumblr media
I don't think I sent in a confessional last episode, whoops. Well, if I did this might be a bit of a repeat of the last one so sorry not sorry.
We won the last immunity by more than double the other tribe. Thanks go out to DARIAN, SAM and NED. Everyone else is dead to me. Both BRANDON and CARSON said they would get stuff for the scavenger hunt and barely even spoke during the entire challenge. And we had two days for it. ELIJAH hasn't been around at all. We talked about breadsticks a few days ago but nothing since.
Right now, the 4 for $4 alliance are the only people I have any interest in working with. I will jump ship faster than the speed of light if there's a swap and I'm not with them.
At tribal LOGAN played an idol resulting in NEHEMIAH being sent home. Gotta give massive props to LOGAN, both for finding an idol and playing it properly. They are kick ass and I'd gladly align with them if I had the chance.
Now we've got a reward challenge where only one person gets to participate and CARSON volunteered because he's "bored". Maybe if you'd actually interact with your tribe you wouldn't be? I dunno maybe I'm just getting a little stir crazy and hoping for some more drama.
Tumblr media
LOLOL WELP THAT PLAN DIDNT GO AS EXPECTED. Alex and I are such idiots, we didn't even pretend we weren't voting for Logan in the case of an idol. I didn't talk to them. I'm sure Alex didn't either. Oops!
Basically Alex and I were removed via Daisy from the bubblegum bitches after being called snakes. OMG THAT REMINDS ME. It's totally off topic but my family moved and my new house is on a street called shady lane. It just depicts how I feel about myself in this game but let's move on.
It sucks that Nehe was voted out and I feel kinda dumb for going out on a limb for him. Alex and I were quick to jump ship on the bubblegum bitches and maybe we should have thought it out but it is what it is. I tried to do as much damage control as one can do to three people I've just flipped on. Josh seemed understanding and so did Logan, understandably a little bit less. Not sure about Daisy, she's difficult to read.
Tumblr media
Oof I also just got kicked out of the Bubblegum Bitches. I mean, can you really kick out an alliance where you were going 5-3. Hun you're literally leaving 4-3 next round, you just bought yourself one round.
Tumblr media
So my alliance was talking about the forest and things they've tried and both SAM and DARIAN mentioned finding coconuts but with nothing under them. And I'm just sitting there laughing because I've already found the extra vote under the coconuts.
I don't plan on telling anyone about it but it's just so amusing to see them talking about finding nothing in the exact spot I found something. I'm very glad my intuition told me to go the way I did.
Tumblr media
I am PRAYING that this challenge will mean a swap and I get to pick my tribes. I want Daisy, Josh, Sam and Ned all to myself. Gimme my friends.
GUEST CONFESSIONAL: zabbey
yall r doing a gr8 job
Tumblr media
TRIBE SWAP!
So, CARSON won the immunity challenge and then we had a tribe swap.
The new tribe has me, ELIJAH, DARIAN, and CARSON from old Andaman. From the old Nicobar we now have JOSH, STEVIE and ALEXANDER. So we have a majority if we stick with the original tribal lines.
However, I did that in my last game and I barely made the merge. So do I want to stick with the old Andaman? We'll see. It might be worth it to throw my vote to someone random and force a tie, see what happens then. Or maybe if we end up losing immunity I'll just swap and work with the Nicobar people.
All this depends on if we win or lose the immunity challenge though so all I can do at the moment is plant the seeds in peoples minds.
Tumblr media
So we swapped and my tribe kinda sucks but idk I might be able to make it work? We also lost the challenge. I spent 2 hours of my life listing survivor plays from seasons 1-17 with placements into a google doc we didn't need to use :'D
Daisy personally scares the shit out of me now. Pretty sure she doesn't trust me with good reason cus I don't trust her anymore after what's been going down. Logan is in the same boat because they've both been in the forest idk wtf they could pull out.
I'm happy I have Sara, Sam and Ned, I feel like I can work well with them from past experience.
Sam has been giving me a lot of info about how daisy was spilling everything that happened at our last tribal. When we lost this round she was there telling me that Daisy was trying to convince them that I should be the one to go over Brandon, who didn't show up to the challenge. (I do not like to blame people for not being able to make challenges cus gurl I've been there but that challenge was stressful AFFF)
So I ask Daisy if she had any thoughts on the vote and she says "me and a few others have been talking and it's between you and Brandon" "You would be good to keep in for challenges but there are other factors. We'll get back to you"
I-
I've never played with somebody so direct like that but I guess I appreciate the honesty!
Logan came to me this morning letting me know that they weren't a part of wanting me out so I know it's mostly just Daisy right now.
As long as they don't have a power and nor does Brandon, I think I should be safe. I really don't think Sara Ned or Sam would vote for me. I think I could be fine going forward too if we can win. I need a damn MERGEE
Tumblr media
Do I even do confessionals? I always just complain in my host chat and then forget to make a real confessional. We swapped so that was extremely predictable but also pretty cool. I'm so glad to get away from that yawn of a tribe! I wish I had Keegan instead of Brandon but whatever I'll take what I can get. I love Logan and they said they snatched me right up so that could be good for me. I'm pretty sure the order that they released is the order that we were picked in which is extremely telling and I'm here for it. Obviously if we're splitting by tribes it's a 4-3 split with Nicobar having the majority. But I don't think that'll be how it happens. Daisy has no filter and literally just spilled ALL of the tea to me. I love it it's informational. Logan played the idol obviously which we all knew but Daisy was telling who voted with them and why some people voted for Logan just to be in majority and everything so like I'm guessing that's good for me? Either she's really friendly and talks to everyone or she likes (probably because Logan told her to) and wants to work with me.
Tumblr media
Fuck this challenge tbh. If we lose I better not go because I hand picked this tribe (except John Coffey. Fuck you ya snakey bitch). If we lose, I'd like to see either Brandon or John go, preferably Brandon because WHERE IS HE. There's a reason I picked u last.
Tumblr media
We just won immunity by the SMALLEST of margins. Both tribes got 50 points and we got a 2 point reduction of our score so we won by 2 points. JEEZ. that was so close. Im not really worried because we have the majority. That means that Sam Brandon and Ned have to go to tribal and they are most likely on the minority unless they found the wholes in the group. Its tricky. I hope they are all safe
Tumblr media
So Daisy really wants to vote out John which I can see but I don't want him to go right yet. I think where he is the only one who voted against me left aside from Sara, we can manipulate him to work w us. But we'll see whatever the majority wants.
Tumblr media
WHEW!! I came on very late to see that we swapped. I messed up and talked in the challenge. We won by 2 points. Me fucking up was almost the reason that we lost and i would have died oops
Tumblr media
We won immunity! Yay and nay!
I'm safe, DARIAN is safe and we don't have to worry about tribal. On the other hand NED and SAM are in danger. They're in the minority, so I can only hope that LOGAN, who was in the minority on the NEHE vote, works with them. I'd hate to see one of them be voted out.
Unfortunately there's nothing I can do so I just need to wait and see what happens.
Oh, and STEVIE is kind of a dumbass. Comes out of nowhere asking a stupid question in the challenge chat that could have potentially cost us the game. It didnt, thank god, but it was still an incredibly stupid thing to do.
Tumblr media
KK HIYA AGAIN. So we won immunity and afterwards i got to talk to alex one on one and i feel like there is deffo a possible alliance there. Like i wouldn't be opposed to working with alex like i legit have nothing against him but it was really nice getting to talk to him and like OK come merge if we are still alive by then i honestly might break away from the logan daisy and sara alliance and like stay with alex cause like...Idk it seems like more of a equal alliance then the other one did and like I KNOW ARE U SHOOK CAUSE WE ALL KNOW I AM #FEMINISTQUEEN but i will work with the mens this time cause i think it will help me out in the long run KK BYE XOXOXO
Tumblr media
Sorry Brandon. You're my hebro, but in a time where you needed to be active, you weren't.
Tumblr media
We worked so hard on that challenge, but unfortunately, the reward advantage came back and bit us pretty hard! We lost by two points, and at this point, it's pretty clear who's going home- Brandon. Everyone contributed in the challenge, ESPECIALLY Sam, Daisy, John, and me, but Brandon was completely absent the entire time. I really do like this tribe, and I think that Brandon going home should unify us. Sorry, Brandon :(
