Since there are loads of [unnecessary] opinions on how Aloy looks, which I, frankly have nothing to complain about. I still believe she is very beautiful and her looks makes sense, not to mention the original model is stunning.
So lemme just take some time to write out this scenario I thought of that I found very cute and emotional, idk 'bout everyone else but it did make me cry when I thought of it.
_______________________________________
POV: You and Aloy are both outsiders, but you were cast out from being a "defect", the both of you only got to know each other during the last few years before the proving.
A little something I wanna mention, this is sorta a Y/N fanfic but without the Y/N, so wherever you feel like you need to add your name in the dialogue, you can do that but I did it so that there would be no need for the name. I hope you enjoy~
T.W: Slight mention of death and injury.
Aloy × F.reader/G.N
Also this has song lyrics in here, if that's not to your taste, I'm sorry but I couldn't think of anything else
__________________________________
"Oh! I found something!"
"What? What did you find?"
"Tada! Another audio file!"
I lifted the device and showed it to Aloy and waved it with satisfaction. "And here I thought you found something useful." Aloy grumbled.
"It's important to me, you know how I love to study the old ones' musical pieces, especially the singing, they all sound.....I don't even have words to describe them." I held tightly onto the device. Using Aloy's focus I scanned the device and played the audio, and without a doubt, it was a musical piece.
"You sure love music, huh?" Aloy smiled and eyed me for a moment, "Yes, all the pieces from the metal world have a certain, essence to them, it feels like it's calling out to me." But that joy was cut short once I remembered of the proving.
"But then, with the proving coming along, the matriarchs might not let me visit any ruins and I won't be able to study them anymore." I huffed and kicked a rock away.
"Who cares? I'll take you to see more of the ruins, they didn't care for us for so long. What is it to them that we see who the old ones really were?" Aloy never understood, nor took high regard to any of the tribal laws and I do agree with her but I have no one other than her to accompany me to explore all these new wonders.
I believe Aloy can do whatever it is that she wants, no one, not even the matriarchs will be able to stop her from going to where she wishes to go. I only have her and if she were to be cast out once again just because of me, I don't think I would like that all that much.
"Thank you Aloy, oh that reminds me, I learned this song, I want you to hear it."
"Can't wait to hear it then. I can't believe it's tomorrow, how are you taking to it?" She looked at me worried and I could get where it was coming from. I get anxious quite often, taking down a watcher, without any preparation, will make me sick to the stomach. "Yeah, I've given myself a 'pep-talk and I think it's working, I don't feel too worried about it now."
"Thats good, alright, I think it's time we leave, Rost said he needs to meet with me." She stretched her hand over to me and I held on firmly, it was calloused yet warm, I felt safe by her side.
The both of us went on our ways and I made it back to the little tent that I called my study and home, I have journaled all the music I have found and dated every one of them. So far, I have recorded 12, 5 of which were addressed to someone else, it was as though they had sung while they mourned for them, wishing they could be with them and the rest were of random order but interesting nonetheless.
I set the recordings aside and tried to make myself fall asleep, the proving was not too far from now. I didn't train my whole life for it but rather, I just wanted to belong somewhere. Aloy is.....different, to her, the tribe means nothing but a means to know more of the world, she said it herself, she wishes to know why she was cast out and never once thought of the tribe in good light.
I had no sense of conflict in me, unlike Aloy, I liked to keep to myself and I ran away at the sight of the tribe members because I was afraid. I was afraid of how they would treat me but that sense of fear became a threat to me.
I learnt how to live on my own, I knew why it was that I was an outcast. My parents didn't want me, said that I would often act strange and I never understood why, till one day the matriarchs marked me an outcast and left me on my own. It was a little over 3 or 4 years ago, where I met Aloy, we grew close.
I never told Aloy, why I was cast away, I didn't want her to be burdened. I kept to myself but this time, with these songs I wanna let her know, all these withheld emotions are making me feel like I could rot from the inside. I am in a way excited for the proving.
_______________________________________
"Aloy! Watch out!"
'I didn't think it would come to this, no, please, stop this.'
"Stay where you are, I'll come to you, alright?!" She shouted but the sound of blasts had muffled all the sound around me. The proving was going well, with Aloy and I being named braves but the celebration was cut short when all of a sudden, intruders had marched in and openly attacked everyone on sight.
"Kill all of them, don't let anyone of them come out alive!" The invaders sounded.
I frantically grabbed my arrows and shot at a few of them, two had missed and the rest 4 had all landed a hit, killing them on contact.
"We can't hold them!"
Aloy had been covering for all the braves and took a stand at holding them down, I decided to let myself all out and help Aloy and guided the remaining to the exit but not many made it.
"I'll hold them down, go! Make it to the slip-wire! Vala! You go too, I'll cover!" I directed all of them, Vala looked reluctant but went on ahead. "There's more of them!" I heard Bast shout and I whipped my head and shot my arrows, this time, all of them landed.
Vala and Bast had got caught between the shots, I watched their bodies hit the floor and a look of dread had washed over Aloy but I could feel the anger that brewed within. She shot them down, all of them.
But it wasn't long before a man had grabbed her by the neck, and something in me snapped, all I saw was that Aloy was in danger. My body moved on its own and I had grabbed my dagger and drove it into the man's side, he screamed but he lifted his arm and thrust it to my gut, sending me straight to the ground.
Before I had lost my senses, I caught a glance at Aloy who had laid on the ground, at least, no longer choked by that man.
_________________________________________
"A-Aloy! You're awake! You're awake...Aloy..." It hadn't been too long since the attack but my injuries are far from okay but at that moment, all that mattered to me now was Aloy. She awoke but her face was pale and her breath, uneasy.
"No, no, no......ugh, I—I have to get out of here..." She clutched on to the side of her head. "Aloy, I'll gather your armour and Focus, just wait here, I'll co—"
She grabbed onto my hand locked her fingers around mine, her hands were shivering. "Aloy?"
"You're alive, I...I thought I lost you..too...." She whimpered, I crouched down and held on to her hands softly, "You can't take me out that easy." Slowly caressing the side of her face, I smiled meekly.
"Rost...he saved me...but."
"He didn't make it Aloy. I don't know what happened either, you'll have to talk to Teersa."
"Where are we?" Her feeble voice asked, "We're inside the sacred mountain, I'm not sure why, I was nursed outside the mountain, they didn't say much when I asked if I could see you." She nodded and slouched down. I went on ahead and brought in her focus, there was another focus with it but I just handed them all to her without questions.
I quietly left the mountains and waited outside for Aloy. It took a while but she came out with Teersa.
The two walked to the rest of the matriarchs, they were talking amongst themselves and it was then I heard that Aloy had been bestowed the mark of a seeker, Lansra did not take to highly of this decision and made some unwanted remarks to Aloy.
I glared at her, hoping that it would do something but she huffed and grunted, walking on just fine.
The rain had poured on harder with time, it felt like it was meant to weep but was choking instead, an odd feeling but that was how I had felt.
"Aloy, of the Nora? Or would you rather prefer, Aloy, a seeker from the Nora?" I tried to put a little lightness to the heavy air around. "I don't think I like either of them." She made a face at my names.
"Alright, then....Aha! Aloy.....despite the Nora?"
"That sounds better." She smiles wide. "Listen...I need to go, I need to find out who those killers were and why they came here, which means that I need to leave the sacred lands." Her smile drops and she looks at me apologetically.
"No no, you have more to worry about than me, it's alright, I can hold my own." I reassured her but her look of response was doubting all of it.
"Aloy, go, I know how much this means to you. I would only be a burden if you were to worry about me. I want you to go out of this place, I know you've always been curious about the lands beyond." There was so much I that I wanted to convey.
So much that I wanted to ask but I pinched myself to not do that.
"Before I go, I wanted to hear that song you wanted to let me listen to, at least let me hold on to that." She pleaded and held on to my clothes. "I-I don't know Aloy, right now, if I did that, I would appear more—"
"Here, you can just record it on my focus."
She removed her focus and placed it in my palm, I looked at the device and glanced back at her. I heaved a sigh and excused myself from the area.
'Am I seriously doing this now? Yes, c'mon me! You can do this!'
There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
I started to cry at thought of having to let go of Aloy, she would be far off and I would be here, possibly just waiting. I wouldn't have the slightest clue where she would be, but I would hold strong, not only for her but for myself.
I won't have any more music files for me to explore so this was the last of all of them. Before I stopped recording, I quietly whispered, "I...I...love you, I love you Aloy and I hope you will be safe. I may or may not be here when you come back but if it weren't for you giving me a reason to be here, I would have never bothered going on with that life I had..."
"And I would have lost myself if it weren't for you."
At the familiar voice, that was none other than Aloy's, I had lost all reason and the shock had gotten me wailing silently.
"I'll be back, you are all that I look forward to when I return." She grabbed my face and pressed our foreheads together. "You sang well, I didn't know I meant that...much to you..." She whispered.
"You are the reason I'm even here. Come back safe, Aloy-despite the Nora." I clutched on to her clothes.
She placed a gentle kiss on my forehead and went on her way, she didn't turn back and I looked at her back, fading off.
'I'll be here, Aloy.....my Aloy.'

Alright! Phew, that was done. I have never written a one-shot ever, I don't even know the word count cause I was just writing without thinking too much.
Anyway, it was more emotional in my head so I did cry a little but it's pretty meh on paper 😂
Aight, this distracted me from all the bs of the world, I hope it distracted some of y'all too.

Request: Hey,I just saw that your requests were open and I was wondering if you could write one about a slytherin reader and young remus and you dislike each other but secretly like each other?Thanks and amzing work👍👏
Requested By: @lespaceboi
Post Date: 8-28-19
Paring: Remus Lupin x Reader
Word Count: 3.1K
A/N: Idk if it’s what you wanted exactly but I got carried away
~Master List~
Requests are closed
You were making your way to your common room after breakfast with your book in your hand, barely paying attention to the people around you. You did this often, reading while walking, and people pretty much knew to lookout for you whenever they saw. People were pretty helpful like that, moving you or others out of the way if you were going to collide or giving you a swift turn when they knew you were headed to a certain class and were going to miss the hallway. Everyone was watching out for you, well almost everyone.
“Oh!” You groaned as your butt hit the floor, your book spun across the ground before a hand stopped it. You looked up before meeting the brown eyes you’ve grown to hate. “Ugh. It’s you.” You grumbled as you pushed yourself up sticking a hand out to Remus to get your book back. He gave you a forced smile before turning heel and walking away, your book tucked in his arms. You rolled your eyes, walking after him as he begun to walk backwards.
“You know Y/L/N, people tend to walk better when they’re not nose deep in a book.” He jokes as you mocked the smirk on his face.
“You know Lupin, people tend to read better when their books aren’t held hostage.” You both came to a stop at the Fat Lady and Remus looked down at the book.
“Advanced Potions? We don’t take that for another year. Or do you Slytherins find yourselves in different classes?” He raised his eyebrow as you snatched your book away.
“If you must know, I’m reading it for fun. Now I get to ask, why are you like this with me? I see you with everyone else yet you’re only a pompous ass when you’re with me.” You pointed out as he laughed. You hated that laugh, it meant he knew something you didn’t and god only knows how many times you hear that laugh. You bit the inside of your cheek before turning around making your way back to the Slytherin Common Room.
Remus watched you leave as a victorious smile crossed his face and he entered the common room. His eyes fell onto his best friends. Peter and Sirius were face first on the floor talking as James tried flirting with Lily again. Remus took the seat opposite of them and Sirius moved himself onto his elbows and peered up at the boy.
“Tormenting Y/L/N again?” He asked as everyone turned to look at him, taking in the smile plastered on his face. Remus just furrowed his brows and crossed his arms, glancing around at his amused friends.
“How’d you know?” Everyone basically groaned as Sirius shot him an Are-you-kidding-me look.
“Mate its all you ever do now a days.” James spoke as Lily nodded her head.
“Honestly, it’s either you torment her or she torments you. And whenever you’re not with us-“
“You’re with her.” Peter interrupts Sirius as they both nod. Soon all four of them are doing it and Remus couldn’t help but sink into his chair a little. Was he really like this? Sure he treated you differently, but he always chalked it up to loving your reaction. You were always one to sass him back or something and Remus always thought he liked seeing you worked up. He hadn’t realized that he in fact spent so much time with you.
You hadn’t realized it either, but Remus was soon taking up all your thoughts. You couldn’t even look at your Advanced Potions book as you tossed onto your bedside table because all you saw was Remus smug expression. It made your stomach churn.
Lucky for you, the next few days were spent Lupin free, just how you preferred. You made your way into the library with the potion book in hand, finally finished and ready to turn in. You had some spare time today so you made your way through the aisles of books, scanning for anything really before a certain conversation started playing on the other side of the rack.
“I swear I didn’t know it was Moony’s chocolate when I ate it!” A voice you recognized as Sirius Black’s said as you shook your head, trying to block them out at the nicknamed mention of Remus. You drifted your fingers across the books in hopes of hurrying up before you heard someone else talk, who you rightfully guessed as James.
“Yeah, well who else’s could it of been Padfoot! Remus is the only one who saves his chocolate for when he wolf’s out! It doesn’t matter, Full Moon is Monday, just go to Hogmeade tomorrow and replace it.” Your interest was peaked the moment they said “wolfs out” but by the time they were finished talking your mouth just about hit the floor and you were staring off into space. You hadn’t seen the two figures turn the corner and stop when they saw you. You met their eyes before dropping the book you once had a tight hold on and sprinting out of the library.
James turned to Sirius, slightly urgency in his voice. “Do you think she heard us?”
Sirius rolled his eyes as he stared at his best friend. “No I think the girl just likes running.” He deadpanned before pulling James sleeve and taking off after you. The only problem was after you bolted from the library, he had no idea where you went. They were about to run to their room and use the map to find you until a pair of hands landed on their shoulders. They both whipped their heads around, hoping to find you but instead finding the one person they were dreading talking to.
“What’s wrong?” Remus questioned as he looked between the two, he knew something was wrong as they both were panting and practically jumped out of their skin. Sirius gulped, taking a step closer to Remus as he looked down at the floor.
“It’s Y/N.”
You didn’t know where you were going, honestly you just needed to get out of there. Remus was a werewolf. Like an actual werewolf! You didn’t want to believe it, you wanted to just think that Sirius and James were messing with you or they were talking about something else. You paused in your step, closing your eyes as everything finally started to make a little more sense. The scars on his face. The once a month he seemed to be even more intolerable. Hell even the damn nickname! But the more you thought about it, the more you wanted to wrap your head around it. You found yourself alone in the courtyard, no one else around so you took a seat on one of the benches. You rested your elbows on your knees as you buried your head in your hands. You didn’t know how long you sat like that until rapid footsteps behind you caused you to shoot up. Remus was practically sprinting towards you, James and Sirius not far behind. Your eyes widened before your back hit the wall behind you, Remus towering over you. James and Sirius began to move to pull him off you as you shook your head.
“It’s fine. I got this.” You assured them as they took a few weary steps back, obviously not trusting you and Remus together. Remus was furious, his eyes darted between yours as he tried to hold back his anger.
“So what are you gonna do now? Huh? Tell everyone? Let everyone know my secret? Oh no better yet, tell no one until I least suspect it then drop the bomb?” He seethed as you took in his words. You looked over his face, his eyes covered in a faint line of unshed tears as he pursed his lips together.
“No.” You answered truthfully. So many thoughts were rushing through your head, but not one of them involved sharing Remus’ secret to the world.
Remus shakes his head, “You know what Y/L/N- wait did you say no? You’re not going to tell anyone?” He pushes himself away from the wall and your body as you nod your head. He searches your eyes for any chance you could be lying but finds none. “Why not?”
“Why do you care? Its not my secret. It’s not my place to tell anyone.” You snap as James and Sirius go all protective mode again. This time it was Remus who told them it was okay, then telling them to leave you alone for a bit. You wanted to protest, to just let this conversation die but sadly that doesn’t look to be in the cards. Remus turned back to face you, a look of surprise still written across his face.
“I just- I don’t know what to say.” With that, you rolled your eyes, pushing past Remus as you head back towards the castle, talking with your back to him.
“Everyone’s entitled to keep secrets Lupin.”
“Thank you.” He yelled as you fully stopped, turning around to look at him as you shrugged.
“Don’t thank me. I’m literally doing nothing.” You continued walking as he laughed, a light laugh that cause you to bite back a smile. “Well, that’s new.” You mumbled to yourself as you shook the impending smile off your face and headed to your next class.
The next few days were weird to say the least, everywhere you looked Remus was there. Only it wasn’t the same as before. He was being... helpful. He made sure you had all the ingredients in potions, made sure you had any of the books you wanted at the library, and he even helped you when Lestrange wouldn’t leave you alone. But after a week you got fed up. You were on your way back from Transfiguration as you saw the boy of your headaches walking alone. You made a rash decision as you clasped onto his robes, pulling him into the nearest broom closet.
Remus was shocked when you pulled on him and crammed yourselves into the tiny closet. Out of anything you could’ve done, this was not one that he imagined.
“Ow! You’re on my foot Lupin! Just move- come on! Lumos!” You finally yelled before a bright light filled the cramped space. Remus was practically pushed right up against you as you held the wand to your side.
“Why are we here?” He grumbled as he tried to pull his arm up from the very awkward angle, only managing to push into you more.
“We are here because- oh just let me do it.” You paused as you shifted, allowing Remus to fix his arms and place them on the shelves behind you, one arm on either side. Maybe if either of you were less focused on the current events that is your ‘friendship’ you would’ve realized exactly what this looked like. “We are here because the last week you have been acting different.”
“Different?” He questions, already knowing what you were talking about.
“Yeah, different.” You put more emphasis on the word as you gripped your wand tighter. “You’ve actually been nice to me and I want it to stop.” You demanded as Remus bit his lip. He knew exactly what was going on. You knew his secret and he wanted to repay you, so he decided to try and be nice to you more. But you didn’t like it. It turns out for you, the moment you get Remus Lupin without all the snarky comebacks and impossible to ignore pranks, you get more irritating. Your friend was he first one to point out you were more mad then normal, you tried to push the thought away until Remus showed up that day and she told you it was because of him. She knew of your relationship with him, everyone did, it wasn’t like you were keeping your hatred a secret. Remus’ mouth dropped when you to told him to stop being nice.
“I thought you hated mean Lupin.” He mumbled as you laughed.
“I hate you Lupin. Mean or nice, it’s just the nice version is creeping me out.” You gave him a fake apologetic shrugged, catching the way his lips turned up at the corner before he made them normal again. That same feeling in you from when he laughed occurred as you finally took in how close you were to him as you pushed back a little, letting your body press against the shelves. The redness creeping across your face was showcased from the light of your wand as Remus stared down at you. It looked good on you. Made you seem a little more decent than most of your run ins with him where you were both insulting each other until one gave up. He liked this. He hated you, but he liked this feeling in him.
Without much thought he made more room for himself, letting his hands move from the shelf behind you to your hips when the room fell silent.
His hands held you in place as you stared up at him, seeing the way he smiled at you as you came to your senses. You pushed his hands away from you as you opened the door a little, letting the harsh light of Hogwarts infiltrate your little hide out. “Look, I know I’m keeping your secret Remus, but I’d appreciate it if things could just go back to normal.” You whispered before letting the door slam behind you, leaving Remus standing in the dark with a big smile on his face and weird feeling in his gut because for the first time since you and him met you didn’t call him Lupin. You said Remus and it made his heart stop.
The next day he pretended like he felt nothing in that closet, like the thought of you now didn’t make his head race. He carried on like he had before you learned about his secret, using every opportunity to steal your belongings or snatch the book you had your eye on. Things were starting to return to normal and you were enjoying it until something in the back of your head stopped you. Or rather your friend smacking you in the back of the head.
“What was that for?!” You yelled as you rubbed your head. Y/F/N sighed as she fell onto your bed next to you.
“Deal with Remus.” She said as you scoffed. You tucked the book you were currently in the middle of reading under your pillow as you joined her at the head.
“And pray tell why do I need to talk to Remus?”
She practically lit up like a Christmas tree, making you even more confused.
“You called him Remus.” She shouted as your stomach dropped. You looked like you saw a ghost as thoughts of Remus flooded your mind. It was dumb really, how you acted. You pushed yourself off the bed, making your way through the school before seeing Remus leaning against the same closet you dragged him in as you approached. He hadn’t seen you until you tapped his shoulder causing him to stop leaning on the door and allowing you to open it. He didn’t say anything as you followed you in, not even needing you to pull him for him to know to follow. It was dark as you made out the outline of his face and pulled out your wand, lighting up the room.
“What are we doing in here?” Remus whispered as his hands trailed lightly onto your hips in hopes you wouldn’t push them off.
You didn’t.
Instead you reached up and took a hold of his shirts collar, pulling him down to smash your lips onto his. He kept one hand on your hip, letting the other cup your jaw as he ran his tongue across your lip. You didn’t waste a second as your lips parted, being separated more when his tongue entered your mouth. It carried on more like that until you couldn’t breathe anymore. You pulled apart, panting as you reached up to touch your kiss swollen lips. Remus tucked a strand of hair behind your ears as you looked up at him, running your teeth barely across your bottom lip. Butterflies. That’s what that feeling was in your stomach. You liked the way he made you feel.
“I have a secret.” You mumbled as Remus tilted his head, looking down at you. “I don’t think I hate you anymore.” You whisper as Remus let’s out a genuine laugh. You smiled as he nodded.
“Yeah, I don’t think I do too.” He pulled you back up into a kiss and you stayed like that for a while. “You know, I think I like kissing you more than I like fighting with you.”
“You know,” you nodded your head, bringing your fingers up to your chin in fake thought, “I think I have to agree with you on that.” You shared a smile before you paused. “Do you think we could still argue and everything out there?” You asked as you nodded towards the exit. He looked at the door and smirked turning back to you.
“This can be kind of like our little secret. As long as I can kiss you whenever we’re alone.” He concluded as you learn up to place a quick kiss to his lips.
“If you don’t stop talking I’ll hex you.” You threatened as you turned around to face your boyfriend and Sirius who sat next to you and had both been talking all throughout potions. He rolled his eyes, leaning forward on his desk as you crossed your arms.
“You’re just mad cause you don’t have anyone to talk to.” He justified as Sirius watched the two of you in amusement. You stood off your stool, coming right up to his desk as he also stood up.
“No, I just feel bad for Black who actually has to talk to you all day.” You said before you left to go get some more ingredients. Sirius leaned back on the desk, shaking his head at Remus.
“Moony I have no clue how you had been nice to her for a week. She’s a nightmare.” Sirius declared before spinning in his stool and focusing on his potions. Remus on the other hand watched you, carefully seeing the way you picked out your own ingredients and helped someone else find the one they needed. You glanced up at him, catching him in his stares before smiling and winking at him. How could he stand being with a nightmare like you? Easy, you weren’t actually a nightmare and he loved you. And all of your friends were none the wiser.

The 5th VK
The title is a work in progress. I’m down for any suggestions. Goodbye, I have to sleep now.
quick disclaimer, IDK and IDC how Hades ember works
Chapter 2 ->
~°~
Future king of Auradon was looking out of the window from where he was standing, while the royal tailor was taking his measurements. On the other side of the window was the isle.
The island of the lost and forgotten. Filled with villains and criminals who did terrible crimes. Yet, also, filled with children who had nothing to do with their parents crimes. Children who are being banished for no reason. That didn’t sit right with Ben. They were innocent.
“Head,” the tailor turned The prince’s head. The soon to be former King and Queen walked in the room, hand in hand.
“How is it possible your becoming king next month,” was the first thing his father said, “your only a baby.” He teased.
“He’s turning 16, dear.” His mother responded.
“Hey pops” Ben smiled.
“16? That’s far too young to be crowned king. I didn’t make a good decision until I was a least 42.” Said the king.
Belle looked offended, “Uh, you decided to marry me at 28.”
“it was either you or a teapot.” Belle gave her husband a look, “Kidding, I’m only kidding.”
“Mom, Dad,” Ben started to walk towards them. But Lumire stopped him, as he wasn’t finished. “I’ve chosen my first official proclamation.” He took a breath before continuing. “I’ve decided that the children on the isle of the lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon. Everytime I look out to the island, I feel like they’ve been abandoned.”
The king’s eyes widened. “The children of our sworn enemies? Living among us?” His mother was shocked as well, but didn’t look as alarmed as his father.
“We start out with a few at first,” Ben tried to reason with him, “only the ones who need our help the most. I’ve already chosen them.”
“Have you?” The king crossed his arms
“I gave you a second chance.” Said a Belle to her husband. She turned back to her son, “Who are their parents?”
“Cruella De Vil…Jafar…Evil Queen…” Ben started, “ Maleficent and Hades” He heard Lumire yelp beside him when he says the last two names.
“Maleficent! Hades! They’re the worst villains in the land!”
“Dad, just hear me out here!”
“I won’t hear of it. They are guilty of unspeakable crimes.”
“Dad, their children are innocent. Don’t you think they deserve a shot at a normal life? Dad?” Ben looks to his mom “Mom?”
Belle gave her husband a look that seemed like she was telling him to believe his son.
After a few moments, the king spoke again, “I suppose their children are innocent.”
“Well, well done. Shall we?”
Meanwhile on the isl. 5 villain kids had no idea that their lives would change forever.
They say I’m trouble
They say I’m bad
They say I’m evil
And that makes me glad
The leader of the group with purple hair, cream colored skin and a vicious smile finishes spraying the Silhouette of her mother with ‘LONG LIVE EVIL’ sprayed on. She looks at a brown skinned girl with neon blue hair leaning on the wall she just spray painted. The young fairy gestured for her to follow her with her signature smile.
A dirty no good
Down to the bone
Your worst nightmare
Can’t take me home
A tall, long haired Arabian was in a where house (?) scheming what was the next thing he’d be taking today. He stared at the Silhouette of his father’s genie form, wanting to make him proud.
**So I got some mischief **
In my blood
Can you blame me?
I never got no love
Another girl with blue hair was strutting down a table while others were eating without a care in the world. Everyone was yelling at her to get off of the table, while one boy caught her eye. She smiled at him and walked away.
They think I’m callous
A lowlife hood
I feel so useless
Misunderstood
The second youngest of five ducked out of someone’s window. He wore a smile as he took a man’s bandana and bit into a little girls apple. He tossed it back to her though, but she wouldn’t be finishing it.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the baddest of them all?
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world
The three girls strutted down an alleyway while the three boys were on their own. Power and confidence screamed in every step they took. The purple haired stared straight ahead with confidence. The older blue haired girl had her hands on her hips with a smirk on her face. The younger demi goddess trailed a bit behind, radiating the most confidence.
The Arabian with a red beanie was doing parkour on the roofs above them. It was quite impressive when he did a backflip off or a pipe. The boy with the black and white color scheme was in a barracks disrupting everyone in a bed, as he bounced on each one waking them.
I’m rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
I’m rotten to the core
Who could ask for more?
I’m nothing like the kid next
Like the kid next door
I’m rotten to the…
I’m rotten to the…
I’m rotten to the core
They all met in the area where most citizens of the isl did their laundry. Throwing clean and dirty laundry in buckets, in faces, and on the floor. Grabbing pipes they found sometime along their journey of chaos, they began to bang them on anything that would make the most noise, laughing along the way.
Call me a schemer
Call me a freak
How can you say that?
I’m just unique
The young fairy was on her own around a small area. Spraying her First Initial on a tarp with purple spray paint, pulling it aside to reveal an innocent man taking a bath minding his own business, now feeling embarrassed that he was revealed to everyone.
What, me a traitor?
Ain’t got your back
Are we not friends?
What’s up with that?
The demigoddess was tagging along with the sticky fingered Arabian this time. The tall boy had taken a used teapot, pretending to serve tea to the two men. Then jumping over the table, taking the teapot with him. The younger with him had swiped the table cloth with her.
“Was that really necessary?” The older boy had asked as they spirited away.
“Was taking a rusty teapot necessary?” She sassed.
The boy smirked and shook his head, as they made their way to where they’d meet the other 3.
So I’m a misfit
So I’m a flirt
I broke your heart
I made you hurt
The young fashion designer found herself going through a stand where someone was selling scarves. As she took the scarf from (what she’s guessing) the seller he spun and made a strange sound with it. Went back into the hanging scarves, looking back at the man looking mystical. After, she made her way on where’d she’d meet the others.
The past is past
Forgive, forget
The truth is
You ain’t seen nothing yet
On the other side of the building where the other three were, the white haired boy was causing more chaos. Throwing and kicking produce from the table he was walking on. He tossed a basket on a lady’s head, and hitched a ride on a cart where a man was pushing some hay.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the baddest of them all?
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world
I’m rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
I’m rotten to the core
Who could ask for more?
I’m nothing like the kid next
Like the kid next door
I’m rotten to the…
I’m rotten to the…
I’m rotten to the core
After an amazing dance number, the purple haired girl took a sucker from a little kid and held it up in triumph as as everyone laughed and cheered. But, everyone scattered as two knuckle heads showed up.
“Hi mom.” The purple haired girl in leather said to the knuckleheads.
Maleficent pushed the two aside, revealing herself, “Stealing candy Mal? I’m so disappointed.” The fake disappointment clear in her voice.
“It was from a baby.” Replied her daughter with a smile.
“That’s my nasty little girl.” Mal gave Maleficent the lollipop and she spit on it and put it under her arm.
“Ew.” The young demigoddess said from where she was.
“Give it back to the dreadful creature.”
“Mom… Why!?” Mal whined
“It’s the deets, Mal,” Maleficent started, “that make the difference between mean and truly evil.” She waved to the mother of the child who just had their sucker man handled. “When I was your age,”
“I was cursing entire kingdoms.” Mal recited with her mother. “You. Walk with me.” The two fairies walked away from the other four “See, I’m just, just trying to teach you the thing that really counts… how to be me.”
“I know that. And I’ll do better.”
“Oh, there’s news! I buried the lede,” Maleficent walked back to the other four and laughed, “You five have been chosen to go to a different school… in Auradon”
Evie screeches, Carlos and Jay tried to run, but the knuckleheads had somehow appeared behind them.
“Excuse me!?” Hailey exclaimed in disbelief. “I’m not going to a school filled with pretty, prissy, pink, princess
“And perfect princes.” Evie smiled. Mal gave her a look and she back tracked, “Ugh.”
“Yeah.” Mal agreed with the youngest of the 5. “Mom, I’m not going to some boarding school filled with snobs.”
“Yeah, and I don’t do uniforms. Unless It’s leather. You feel me?” Jay said with a cheeky smile.
“Do you even know any other fabric besides leather?” Hailey asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Of course I do.”
“Name one.”
“Vegan… leather-”
“Stop talking.”
Carlos walked up behind Mal, “I read somewhere that they allow dogs in Auradon.” He said with fear in his voice, “Mom said they’re rabid pack animals who eat boys who don’t behave!” Right then, jay snuck up behind him. Scaring him with a bark. Carlos jumped back and hit jays arm as Hailey giggled.
Mal made up her mind, “Yeah, mom we’re not going. forget it.”
That obviously displeased the older fairy, “Oh, you’re thinking small, pumpkin. It’s all about world domination. KNUCKLEHEADS” The knuckleheads followed her. With a singsong voice she said, “Mal…” Mal followed her, and the kids sans Hailey followed. She went the other way.
“Where are you going Hailey?” Maleficent said. It was evident that she didn’t want to deal with the young demigoddess right now.
“Back to my dad’s!” She yelled back, “there’s no way I’m going.”
“You’re dad’s at ours.” Maleficent said with a smirk.
Hailey stopped walking and ran a hand down her face. “Oh my hades!” She yelled and walked back to the others with an adorable, yet angry pout.
“Are you even able to say that when your father is Hades?” Asked Carlos.
“Don’t talk to me.” She speed walked ahead of them all.
Back at the tower, Maleficent was sitting on a throne-like chair explaining what the VKs would be doing in Auradon “You will go. You will find fairy godmother and you will bring back the magic wand. Easy.”
“What is in it for us?” Asked Mal.
“Matching thrones. Hers-and-hers crowns.”
“…Pretty sure she was talking about us.” Said Hailey with her arms crossed. She was sitting next to her father on the couch.
The woman on the throne ignored her and continued, “It’s all about you and me baby. Do you enjoy watching innocent people suffer?”
Mal scoffed. “Yeah. I mean, who doesn’t?”
“Well, then get me the wand and you and I can see all that and so much more. And with that wand and my scepter, I will be able to bend both good and evil to my will!”
“Our will.” The evil queen reminded her.
“Our will, our will.” Maleficent snaps, which gains Mal’s attention back to Maleficent, “And if you refuse, you’re grounded for the rest of your lives, missy.”
“Mom! That’s not fair. You can’t do that!”
A few seconds later, the mother and daughter were locked in a staring contest. Younger light green eyes challenging Experienced green eyes.
“Ugh. Fine.” Mal gave up.
“I always win.” Said Maleficent as she smiled.
“Evie!” The evil queen called her daughter over to her with a singsong voice. The evil-lett in training sat next to her mom. “you just find yourself a prince with a big castle,”
“And lots and lots of mirrors.” The two said together, as Evie laughs dreamily.
“No laughing! It causes wrinkles.” Evie stopped immediately.
“Why are we still here? Please don’t make me go.” Hailey begged her father.
Hades shrugged, “it’s a pretty smart plan. Get the wand, break the barrier, we go back and claim the underworld.”
“That sounds so boring.” Hailey rolled her eyes.
“You’d rather stay up here with these crazies?” Hades sassed back and Evil Queen Squawked.
“they’re not taking my Carlos, because I’d miss him too much.”
“Really,You mean it?” Carlos asked with a hopeful smile.
“Of course! Who would touch up my roots, fluff my fur, and scrape the bunions off my feet?” Cruella put her leg in her sons arms
“Yeah, maybe a new school wouldn’t be the worst thing.” Carlos Muttered under his breath, “maybe a new place to live as well.”
“Carlos,” Cruella said with (fake) care. “They have dogs there.”
Carlos immediately changed his mind at the mention of a dog. “Oh, no! I’m not going!”
“Ugh.” Maleficent face palmed.
“Jay isn’t going either.” Jafar piped up. “I need him to stock the shelves in my store.” Jafar pulled his son away from the others a bit. “What did you get?” The thief began to pull random items out of his jacket and sleeves. Jafar dropped it all when he pulled out certain something “Ooh. A lamp” Jafar tried rubbing it.
Hailey rolled her eyes and sighed, “this is pathetic.” She said as her father nodded along.
“…Dad,” Jays father grinned at him. “I already tried.”
Jafar dropped the lamp with a ‘bah’
Then, Evil Queen spoke, “Evie’s not going anywhere until we get rid of this unibrow.” Evie felt in between her eyebrows.
“What is wrong with you all?” Maleficent walked off of the small platform she was on, voice raising as she continued. “People used to cower at the mention of our names! For 20 years, I have searched for a way off this island. “For 20 years, they have robbed us from our revenge” she spoke with determination “… revenge on Snow White and her horrible little men.”
“Mm.” Evil Queen agreed.
“Revenge on Aladdin and his bloated genie!”
“When I get get-!” Jafar looked as if he was going to attack someone.
“Pops…” his son calmed him down.
The raging fairy looked to Cruella. “Revenge on every sneaky dalmatian that escaped your clutches.”
“Oh, but they didn’t get baby. They didn’t get the… They didn’t get the baby!” Cruella laughed Maniacally.
Hailey and her father, scratch that, everyone looked alarmed at the laugh.
Maleficent looked to the father and daughter next. “Revenge Hercules and-”
Hades stopped her, “I already said she’s going.”
“Against my will.” Hailey muttered under her breath.
“Right. And me!” She threw her arms out dramatically. “The evilest of them all,” She sat herself on Evil Queens lap and snatched the mirror out of her hand, gazing at herself. “will finally have my revenge on sleeping beauty and her relentless little prince. Villains!” She clapped her hands”
Yes’s and a what was what was replied back.
“Our day has come.” She smirked. “EQ, give her the mirror.”
“This is the famous magic mirror?” Evie asked in disbelief as she held the hand mirror.
“Yeah, well, it ain’t what it used to be, but then again, neither are we!” EQ and Maleficent giggled lowly. “It will help you find things.”
“Like a prince?” Evie smiled.
“Like my waistline.”
“Like a magic wand.” The fairy reminded her. “Hay, give her the ember.”
“I told you, don’t call me that.” The man in blue said.
“And I told you, I don’t care” Maleficent said back
Hades sighed and pulled out a blue stone. “Here.” Hades took her had opened her palm, throwing out the purple rock she had placed on a locket she somehow attached to her fingerless gloves.
“Come on.” Hailey whined, “I actually digged the purple.”
Hades put the ember in the locket instead. “This is my ember.”
“What’s it do?” His daughter asked?
“It basically amps up spells. It won’t go full power since you’re only half Hades, but it’ll still work.”
“Sounds boring.” Hailey rolled her eyes for what felt like the thousandth time today.
“Depending on how mad you are, either your eyes, hands, hair, or all will catch on fire.” Hades smirked, knowing his daughter.
Hailey smiled, “now you’re talking!”
Hades chuckled, “just don’t get it wet, or it’s game over.”
“Yeah sure, whatever.” Hailey said as she plotted in her head.
The woman in purple looked satisfied before remembering something, “My spell book. My book. I need my… that book. ah ha! The safe.” She walked up to the fridge and started hitting it. Apparently not seeing the lever. “Queen, help me! I never can figure this thing out.”
EQ sighed and got up. She opened it with a ‘voila’
Maleficent handed her daughter the spell book, and explained that it can only be used once they get to Auradon. Right then and there, a honk from outside was heard.
“Let’s get this party started.” Jay announced with a smirk.
Everyone dispersed. Almost, Each parent telling their child a little something: Jafar telling his son to trust himself, Evil Queen reminding her daughter she’s the fairest, Maleficent telling her daughter not to screw things up. Hades told his daughter if things screw up somehow, she should just get the wand and break the barrier.
The only VK not saying goodbye was Carlos, who was super giddy to finally be able to escape his mother’s grasps.
No one noticed when Jay stole the small crown off of the bumper of the limo.
Mal was the last to enter the Black limo, looking up at the balcony she just stood at. Her mother making an ‘I’m watching you’ gesture, Mal nodded in understanding.
After a few seconds all of the VKs noticed the wall of sweets. Evie tried to bite into some sweet crystal candy. Jay, Carlos, and Hailey began fighting to get the best sweets first.
This was going to be interesting.

A long time coming
Both this episode, and this Discussion about it.
We’ve all been on the internet these last several weeks. We’ve all seen the excessive amounts of promotion for this wedding. We’ve all had to spend half our lives staring at the weird white appliqué on Eddie’s dress that looks like something your mom would have ironed on your Girl Scouts uniform when you were 7. I dreaded the fuck out of this episode y’all. I was so sure it was going to be terrible.
SO WAS IT? 👀 let’s play bingo!
Here’s your warning that this is long af. I do not apologize.
Tumblr media
Erin and Eddie and the Lying Liar
The episode opens in Erin’s office/conference room with Erin wearing an area rug tied around her neck with a bow. Why isn’t “Erin wears a ridiculous rug with a giant neck bow” on the bingo card?
Erin’s glasses on/off as a tic of Concern count: 36
EDDIE’S IN ERIN’S OFFICE. EVERYTHING IS GROSS. LET’S BEGIN.
Erin takes a fairly accusatory tone with Eddie from the beginning.
Eddie gets OfFeNdEd all “you’re taking the word of a complete stranger over mine?”
GOD WRITERS, can you PLEASE write Eddie as a capable, intelligent professional for once in your lives? Real Eddie/Cop Eddie/Normal Person Eddie wouldn’t play the ~personal relationship~ card like that. I mean sure, Danny and Jamie do that shit all the time, and that’s dumb af too. But the way Eddie does it feels less like a family member asking for a Favor and more like a naive scared little girl expecting Special Treatment. Ew.
“I onLy HaVe oNe SiDe: ThE TrUtH” 🙄
Erin saying the witness was “very convincing” is gross. Everything about this scene is grossss gross gross
So apparently, Erin didn’t know/realize during the initial witness interview that Eddie was the officer in question. I wonder how that conversation (with Eddie) would’ve gone if any other cop walked into her office. Like the whole thing felt so unprofessional on both sides, but especially Erin. Wouldn’t she give any other cop the benefit of the doubt? Question them, sure, but not go into the conversation like she assumes they’re lying. Witnesses change their stories all the time. Ugh this whole storyline is gross
Not to mention why is this happening in EDDIE’S WEDDING EPISODE?! Look I don’t need Eddie’s entire life this week to be dedicated to wedding shit. But ew @ a Work Conflict with a future in-law 9 minutes before her damn wedding.
JAMIE AND EDDIE ARE SITTING ON THE FLOOR AT JAMIE’S COFFEE TABLE for the second week in a row. Nice.
THE LIGHTING IS TERRIBLE ON JAMIE REAGAN’S FACE. Mark it.
Jamie is such a dumbass. “I understand you’re upset, I’m just clarifying she didn’t ACTUALLY call you a liar...” shut up lawyer boy, hasn’t anyone taught you that those technicalities are NOT the way to go?
“I don’t think there’s any upside to splitting hairs about this.” WHO’S SPLITTING HAIRS, MR. CLARIFICATION?
“THIS IS GREAT, WE’RE ABOUT TO GET MARRIED AND I’M JUST NOW FINDING OUT YOU’VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH MY SISTER.” I think this is about where @ontherockswithsalt and I literally keeled over laughing. Mark it.
On the one hand I get what Eddie’s saying about Erin being every woman’s basic nightmare. On the other hand Old Eddie was a boss ass bitch who never would’ve been intimidated/shaken/irritated by the conversation in Erin’s office.
What the fuck is this sweater situation? Eddie it looks like you took some scissors to it and the result was tragic.
Tumblr media
Smooth move Jamie. Lol I’m sure most people loved that line “as far as I’m concerned you just described yourself” but 😂😂😂 @ everything.
Jamie and Erin on the courthouse steps. This should be good (read: gross someone get me a puke bucket)
Lol @ this running theme that Frank is nervous af about giving a toast/speech at the damn rehearsal dinner.
Why is Jamie bringing this Eddie thing up to Erin? Eddie vented to him - he’s her fiancé, it’s his sister they’re talking about, of course she’s going to Discuss it with him. But would it ever occur to him that maybe he should just listen and ~support her~ and he doesn’t need to go off and try to Solve Her Problems? 🙄
MAYBE SHE SHOULD FIND A SOFTER LINE OF WORK? Oh fuck me how is that called for, Erin? Eddie’s been a successful cop for years now. She only started having Trouble with her confidence and competence when your idiot dumbass brother fucked her up at a golf course on a Sunday morning.
DON’T BRING ME INTO YOUR FIANCEE’S DRAMAS.... oh my god Erin you started it so like step off.
I LIKE HER JUST FINE. Aren’t the Reagans all about Candor and Honesty? Shouldn’t Erin be having this conversation with Eddie herself if she apparently feels so strongly about it? Dude I’m so mad this is happening in the wedding episode. Or at all.
AND I’LL LIKE HER A HELL OF A LOT MORE WHEN SHE STARTS FIGHTING HER OWN BATTLES ?????? Eddie didn’t ask Jamie to ~fight this battle~ for her and everything is grosssss gross gross.
JAMIE SLEPT ON THE COUCH LAST NIGHT. AYE SOMEONE’S IN THE DOGHOUSE. Also this is about the closest thing we’ve gotten to Actual Confirmation that Jamko lives together/has spent the night together. I’m still convinced he’s never gotten her off in his life though.
Jamie has framed pics of his mom (his Harvard graduation) and Joe on his table. Does he have any pictures of Eddie framed anywhere? 👀🤔
“YoU’Re sTiLL PiSsEd” the Harvard graduate, y’all.
Side note: Jamie’s wearing sweatpants but THE LIGHTING IS TERRIBLE AND THE SWEATPANTS AND SHIRT ARE BOTH DARK COLORED. NO CONTRAST. NOTHING VISIBLE. 0/10 TOTAL WASTE.
Completely on Eddie’s side on this one. Idk about the whole making-Jamie-sleep-on-the-couch thing, but I’d be pissed af too if my fiancé took a private conversation between us as an invitation to go off and ~fight my battles~ without permission and/or without being explicitly asked to do so.
He might be closer to his family than most people are. But Eddie’s about to be his wife (ugh don’t remind me) and she needs to come first now. It’s not his job or his place to take her issues to his family members like that.
“It’s my job to look after you” GOD EW GROSS JAMIE REAGAN. That may be ~true~ but it’s not your job to make decisions for Eddie or treat her like someone who needs to be ~looked after~. It’s your job to treat her as your equal and consult her on (basically everything but especially) matters that directly affect her. It’s your mutual job to look after each other. Just don’t re: this weird paternalistic bullshit mmkay?
There are vegetables all over Jamie’s kitchen. Carrots in one shot, celery and onions and shit in another. RUN, EDDIE. RUN FROM THIS FUTURE OF RABBIT FOOD AND MISERY.
OH MY GOD LOL 4EVER. EDDIE’S IN HER PORSCHE (welcome back bro! Where’ve you been all these years? No, really... where’ve you been?) and she has BINOCULARS like that’s a normal and reasonable thing to do in New York City on a Thursday afternoon.
Anthony’s here? It’s a party!
WITH SNACKS! ANTHONY’S EATING! Mark it.
It’s 4 minutes before her wedding and Eddie’s all “I didn’t know Reagans were Like That!” Oh my god where’s the bingo square for me sinking into ontherockswithsalt’s super soft new couch and dying in misery forever? Mark it.
A SPEECH ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A REAGAN? Mark it.
ANTHONY BEING THE ONE TO DELIVER SAID SPEECH? Shocking. Unexpected. Creative. Why is he so important that he gets this job in this episode by the way?
“Open your eyes a little. Know what you’re getting yourself into.”
WHY IS THIS A LINE THAT ANYBODY IS SAYING TO HER 26 SECONDS BEFORE SHE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE? OH MY GOD EVERYTHING WITH THIS RELATIONSHIP IS SO WRONG IT’S UNBELIEVABLE. HOW CAN ANYONE LEGITIMATELY THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA FOR THEM TO GET MARRIED?!
Oh imagine that, the dummy lied. Eddie didn’t. Who’s surprised?!
Eddie’s back in Erin’s office. She’s wearing a mustard yellow sweater from Kohl’s (I know because I have the same one yo) and a.... prairie skirt? Interesting choice.
“It turns out I owe you an apology..” A REAGAN? APOLOGIZING? OMG
Aaaaand Eddie’s cutting her off. Fucking typical.
EDDIE’S WHOLE THING HERE IS BULLSHIT.
A few scenes ago she (rightfully, more or less) complained that Erin accused her of lying, now she’s all “oh, not really”
She’s bringing Jamie into it, saying she wouldn’t have whined to him if she didn’t secretly want him to go solve her problems for her. UM WHAT? They’re saying she wouldn’t have a conversation with her fiancé just for the sake of the conversation - there has to be a Goal? Dude I just can’t. This is the icing on the cake of Eddie’s shitty writing all damn season.
Humans are allowed to talk about - even COMPLAIN ABOUT - these things to their significant others. They should be able to do so without fear of outside repercussion or concern that their partner will go off and try to Fix Things in an unwarranted way. But if Eddie only brings her Family Problems to Jamie with the secret agenda that he’ll fix them for her, that’s gross and a huge red flag and blah blah blah. RUN EDDIE WHY ARE YOU MARRYING HIM.
Also gross in general @ Eddie apologizing. Eddie shouldn’t have ~taken things personally~ (but Old Eddie wouldn’t have - this is New Eddie and I don’t blame her for her puppetmaster’s bullshit) but Erin is the one really at fault here.
Minute 51 of a one hour episode meant to feature Eddie’s wedding, and she’s just now wrapping up this ridiculous Conflict with her fiancé’s sister. Sweet. ThE BeSt iS YeT tO CoMe
Danny and Baez
SOMEBODY DIES? Mark it.
BAEZ IS TOO GOOD FOR THIS TRASHCAN SHOW? Mark it. Baez pretending to be Erin is hilarious.
Fuck me I’m only 11 minutes into this thing so far.
Baez pretending to be Erin messing with her glasses is GENIUS HOW DID I MISS THAT THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED. 😂😂😍😍
Can we please get a guest actor on this show who can actually produce tears when they’re supposed to be crying? All this dry eye blubbering is gross. They could get better actors from any high school drama department.
“We’re SoULmAtEs” this girl is like that over-attached girlfriend meme omg.
Baez is the best person left on this ridiculous show. Her thing with the palm print security doors? Genius.
Side note: HOW’S THIS DUMB CONTRAST where Erin is on one set repeating over and over that Eddie is Just A Cop when she’s in Erin’s office. Meanwhile Danny’s over here acting like his sister is the only lawyer in all of New York who can get him the warrants/subpoenas he needs for his investigation. 🤔
They’re arresting her. I don’t care about this storyline anymore but I feel like I should mark the time.
We’re in Erin’s office and like.... did Erin forget to put clothes on today or something? What?
WE DON’T GET SHIRTLESS JAMIE FOR THE LAST 39 YEARS, BUT WE GET TO SEE ERIN’S ENTIRE BARE THIGH? WHERE DO I SUBMIT MY COMPLAINT @ THIS BULLSHITTERY
Now Danny suddenly can’t remember how to talk to express his concerns. What is it about Erin’s office that makes all these ~professionals~ turn into blubbery babies who need their mommy to order their happy meal so they don’t have to talk to the cashier themselves?
Another unbelievably clear surveillance video to just clean this messy case right up. How convenient. I’m bored.
The Best Friends Club
Garrett and Sid walking down the hall, arguing the difference between piece and peace. Bros, it’s “object to this marriage or forever hold your peace” which, can I just raise my hand here and say this better be some damn good foreshadowing
Garrett and Sid are rude af marching in (interrupting) while Frank and Baker are in the middle of a conversation, and can I say there’s no Good Way this whole thing could have started? 
It’s gross for the boys to get all huffy @ the female member of their team having a discussion with Frank, but if it were one of the boys in there, it would be gross for Baker to get all offended and interrupty and seen as Rude and Irrational or whatever. Can we all just act like adults here? Thx.
Now we’re in Garrett’s office and Baker is going to Explain? Oh boy this’ll be terrible.
They’re pulling rank?! I’m a lieutenant, you’re a detective, you’re a civilian. Actually I’m Commissioner Moore.
Listen dudes, I’m sure your dicks are both huge. Shut the fuck up.
Why are Sid and Garrett throwing a fit like this at all? Frank asked to see the presentation and Baker showed it to him. God this is such a dumb contrived conflict why are we here?
“You know what? I don’t think this has anything to do with chain of command. I think this is bruised egos and stepped-on toes.” SAY IT BAKER. Call these clowns on their bullshit.
I need a margarita. @ontherockswithsalt please.
Garrett is in Frank’s office now, with a weird ass smile on his face as he says “it’s TIME for a VICTORY LAP!” Wtf.
“So you’re saying I have to get Gormley and Baker’s sign off before I can set this in motion?” How’s that for ChAiN oF CoMmAnD, Mr. Biggest Dick In The PC’s Office?
And now Garrett’s leaving through the conference room so he doesn’t have to walk past Baker. These dummies are literally so childish it’s ridiculous.
Now the BFFs club is in front of Frank for a Stern Talking To. Oh my god it’s like a parent dealing with a bunch of 6-year-olds. Remember when this show was actually good?
They’re all going to switch jobs for a day. Frank made a diagram. Clearly put lots of thought into it. A+.
Tumblr media
Garrett’s complaining that it’s a lot to ask. A lot to ask that these dummies act like professional adults? Agreed.
Gormley doesn’t know what the word “quote” means and/or is not familiar with the New.York.Times. Garrett doesn’t know how to answer phones or log into a computer but he does a damn good Gormley impression, apparently. Baker doesn’t know how to read investigative files? Omg are we all learning something today, kiddos?!
Jamie and Frank have a Heart To Heart.
Oh boy, the Best Friends are together again.
“Our behavior this week, it was embarrassing.” YOU THINK?
The BFFs just had a more emotional, moving Heart To Heart than Jamie and Eddie have had in their lives, so that’s chill.
Tumblr media
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Jamie and Frank have a Heart To Heart
Jamie’s In Frank’s office after a quick chat with Disgruntled Garrett.
Frank’s joke is ridiculous.
JAMIE’S WEARING KHAKIS. Mark it.
“I have never seen you so unwaveringly certain about what you want.” Well unwavering is right. Jamie’s facial expression hasn’t changed since 2017.
Did Frank just compare Jamie’s feelings towards Eddie to his feelings about the Chevelle? Nice, that’s totally reasonable and not at all gross. Just kidding, it’s gross.
“She doesn’t want to lose herself.”
“Well that makes sense.”
“It does?!”
Omg seriously? Fucking seriously. There’s too much to even delve into here like I could write a whole damn essay about this exchange. But Jamie. For real. It surprises you that Eddie doesn’t want to throw herself headfirst into Being A Reagan? It surprises you that she wants to keep her own identity within your marriage? It surprises you that she doesn’t plan to melt herself into your back pocket and hang out there like a fun toy who parrots back all your opinions and dedicates herself to The Reagan Name above all else? Oh. My god. EDDIE RUN.
Well her brother’s dead....
Eddie has a brother? Oh that’s some nice cool chill information to drop on us randomly 6 years later.
I have Thoughts (maybe he committed suicide or accidentally OD’d back when shit hit the fan with Armin?) but I hate how this is a random throwaway line with such important implications. Have they ever truly talked about Eddie’s dead brother? Does Eddie feel minimized in her grief because her brother didn’t Die A Hero like Joe? EDDIE RUN.
“Don’t make her do all the work adjusting to us. Find ways for us to adjust to her” this is excellent and important advice, truly. Would’ve been nice to have this conversation, idk, 9 months ago?
THE MOMENT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
FIRST: THE REHEARSAL DINNER.
Lena’s saying some shit. Cool. Y’all by this point I’m so exhausted @ everything in this shitshow episode, I don’t even care.
“Edit and myself - who have both suffered from my husband’s glaring insufficiency...” oh my god Lena way to read the room.
“THANK YOU FOR LOVING MY DAUGHTER AS MUCH AS I DO.” LOL NEITHER ONE OF THEM SEEMS TO LOVE HER THAT MUCH THOUGH. RUN FOR THE HILLLLLSSSSS EDDIE.
TO JAMM-KO. Oh, my, god, why are we here.
This is some really ridiculous pandering to the fans y’all. Like over the top gross. This show is a just whole ass joke at this point.
But actually LOL @ Erin scolding Danny for telling Sean “would you learn something, numbnuts?”
FRANK’S SPEECH
UGLY FLOOR LAMPS. TWO OF THEM. Mark it. Twice.
Where’s the joke Frank?
“She’s doing the bravest thing I’ve ever seen a cop do... she’s marrying Jamie... and walking down the aisle bY HeRsELf.” 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Can we not commoditize that choice? It shouldn’t need to be a Big Deal.
Eddie is Her Own Woman
And a Lifeforce
But y’all
Lifeforce is a disgusting euphemism for semen, in case you’re unfamiliar with certain Top Quality Fanfics we have available to us in this fandom
So I’m caught somewhere between dying laughing and like, crying forever
Seeing her in action as Jamie’s Life partner
And hopefully as a mother! EW! GROSS! THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR PLACE TO EXPRESS YOUR WISHES FOR SOME NEW GRANDKIDS, FRANCES
That’s a thing that will never not gross me out. Public (or even uninvited private, tbh) expressions of Opinion about someone else’s family planning choices
Y’all this is Eddie’s future father in law telling her “I hope you go have lots of unprotected sex with my son, and potentially shelve your own career goals temporarily or permanently, and go through lots of painful unfortunate Body Changes, because here’s my public request for some more grandkids”
Let it be known if my future in-laws said that at my rehearsal dinner, they’d have a real actual Hurricane to deal with so
MOVING ON THOUGH, UGH. TIME FOR THIS WEDDING.
“SuRe YoU wAnT To gO ThRoUgH wiTh tHiS?!” One, gross, not a funny joke. Two, CAN SOMEONE ASK THAT TO EDDIE A FEW TIMES BECAUSE
“In over two thousand weddings, I’ve only lost three to divorce...” 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
LOL @ all the waving from the altar to the poor dishonored Reagans who have to sit in the pews like some kind of peasants. Is this my first grader’s spring fling school concert?
Side note: does Eddie have any bridesmaids? No? So she’ll just be up there by herself looking like she’s marrying 4 Reagan men? Nice.
I mean if they pulled some throwaway bridesmaids out of their asses I’d be mad, and if Erin and Nicky were her bridesmaids I’d be mad, so really this is a no-win situation here but still, gross.
Oh hey, we’ve solved the mystery of the missing Frank.
Eddie’s had nightmares about tripping while walking down the aisle. That’s her compelling argument for asking Frank to escort her?
WHICH BY THE WAY I AM SO MAD ABOUT. THIS FUCKING REAGAN AFFAIR SHOW. DIDN’T HE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW THE REAGANS NEED TO JOIN EDDIE’S WORLD TOO, NOT JUST SUCK HER INTO THEIRS? OR SOMETHING. I’M IRRITATED.
Here comes the bride. On the organ! Appropriate, to go with the Reagan men’s 1836 morning suit choice. LOL IT’S ALL SO GROSS I CAN’T EVEN DEAL.
Here we go, she’s walking in. We see Jamie’s face. He looks... bored?
Lena crying.
Erin and Nicky looking all happy.
Eddie again. She keeps looking up at Frank and it’s distracting af. Has she looked down the aisle to see her groom even once?
Henry looks 100000 million times more excited than Jamie to be here.
Oh, a nice long shot of Jamie’s weird chin and stoic face. That’s certainly the look of a man who’s about to marry the love of his life.
The LOOK OF LOVE
Tumblr media
FADE TO BLACK
AMAZING. I COULD NOT HAVE SCRIPTED IT BETTER MYSELF. OMG BEST TV WEDDING EVER. THANK YOU, BLUE BLOODS, FOR DOING ONE THING RIGHT FOR ONCE AND PUTTING ME OUT OF MY MISERY.
12/10. Beautiful. Moving. Ridiculous. I’m so impressed and in awe. Such a great episode.
WhO’S ReAdY fOr SeAsOn TeN?! See you in September folks.

World Cup Ish Fic
Wow I can’t believe I really did it. There was a comment made about the lack of World Cup-related Monster content and well I decided to write this…..thing. It’s absolute 1,000% crack don’t take anything seriously because I sure didn’t. 
Idk if I should post this on AO3 or not LOL so for now it’s just.......here. Have fun I guess
No warnings or anything for this one.
“Shoot, Doctor.”
The rain fell around them, pouring in droves, a swirling storm aptly mimicking the atmosphere that surrounded the once quiet town. A town whose last hope now stood, as drenched as its inhabitants, before the monster that would bring it to its knees.
This was the scenery for a doomsday. The final showdown that Johan had led him into, the beginning of the long awaited end. Yet for all his imaginings, every scenario he had run through his mind time and again, this could never have been what he expected. He barely believed it, even now.
Tired bodies, not corpses, sat along the sidelines of a vast, flat field just outside of the town itself. The worst injured were Lunge, Grimmer, and - of Johan’s men - Roberto, only the last of whom Tenma had expected to see in this place. How the Inspector found this town and what Mr. Grimmer was doing here had baffled him, though not nearly so much as the situation as a whole.
They had done all they were able to in order to stall the end; all awaiting his arrival, per Johan’s designs. It was only the two of them, now, the way it was intended. Johan spread his arms wide, a slow and elegant gesture, as he stared the doctor down with those unnervingly deep, blue eyes.
“You have no choice, Doctor Tenma. Shoot.”
There was always a choice. Back then, before the utter upset of his life, there had been a choice; he still stood by his decision, he wouldn’t have acted any differently no matter how many times he repeated that same scenario. But now, his actions held the balance of more than a single life; if he acted correctly, then the town would be saved; if he was wrong, however, then the whole of this town….
“No! Don’t do it, Tenma! It’s not right!”
Tenma felt his heart skip a beat, a lump settling solidly in his throat as he turned, his matted, rain-soaked hair covering his field of vision. All the same, he could easily recognize….
“Dieter what are you doing here? Who brought you to this place?”
The boy didn’t answer right away, instead closing the distance in but a few bounds. “Doesn’t matter! Tenma, you can’t! Not like this….it’s all...it’s all wrong! It doesn’t have to be like this...there’s another way...let me...let me help!”
“I’m afraid that’s out of the question.”
The smooth chill of Johan’s voice carried easily over the wind and rain, drawing the weary doctor’s attention away from the perturbed, even desperate, child. But Johan wasn’t looking at him at all; his attention was solely on Dieter. Dieter, who seemed, for the moment, unfazed by the interjection.
“And why’s that. You’re not my mom, I don’t have to listen to you!”
Tenma’s mouth hung open, but no words came out at first, his mind caught somewhere between Dieter, what are you doing? and Stay behind me and don’t speak! but neither came out. There was no visible acknowledgement from Johan; he still bore that neutrally complacent smile, a look that almost seemed amused at the world.
“No, you don’t. But neither am I required to acknowledge your interference, and unfortunately, I have no interest in you. After all, you are unable to see it.”
The boy’s nose wrinkled in confusion, but he had lost the bite from before, sticking close to Tenma and glaring up at Johan through narrowed eyes as he shuffled on the spot. “See what.”
A moment of silence passed, the only movement from Johan being the slight inclination of his head, his focus drifting to somewhere far away, somewhere that only he could see. Somewhere that Tenma could see, too.
“The end.”
Even though he knew the answer, those two words - that voice - chilled the doctor with dread. He moved, grabbing Dieter and pulling him backward, behind him. “That’s enough! He has no part in this, Johan. You understand?”
It was more desperate than authoritative, but it would have to do.
“Then I suppose we are where we started a few moments ago. You must shoot, doctor. The fate of the town is in your hands, as is his.”
Dieter, too….
His head was spinning. Tenma shook his head, his face a picture of that desperate energy. “I told you he had nothing to do with this! You mustn’t involve him! Johan!”
“Do you see it, now, doctor?”
He did see it. The end….the end that Johan spoke of, empty and desolate, soulless. The fall not only of this town, but all of Germany, while the world watched….and spreading from its center, an ever greater darkness. He had no choice. This time, there was no choice.
“No! It’s wrong! You can’t shoot! Not like that…it...it won’t...you’re going to fail!” Dieter was tugging on his sleeve, now as soaked as Tenma himself. He barely spared a glance, but Dieter’s gaze was desperate and worried. “If you shoot like that you’ll never win….you have to trust me! Tenma!”
He closed his eyes, head downward as he collected his resolve. Perhaps Dieter was right. Perhaps there was a better way. But right now…now....
There was no time now. Johan wouldn’t wait.
“Go to the others, Dieter. See if you can help Nina with the injured.”
“But I--”
“I need you to listen to me, Dieter. Everything will be all right. I promise you.”
He knew that Dieter didn’t want to leave, but at the same time...he had to do this alone. This was the end, as Johan said; it was always meant to be faced between the two of them, alone, a tireless battle of wills that finally would come to its end. 
Only after he heard the faint drumming of Dieter’s feet did Tenma open his eyes, facing Johan with a colder gaze, uncharacteristic of himself. He had built his resolve. He had decided.
Tenma took a step back, then another, and another.
He took aim, focused on his target.
He--
“This is for Tenma!!!!!”
What happened then was a mess of chaotic energy; a ball flew high overhead, the kick that delivered it powerful and swift. There was a resounding thmp as the ball struck its target, colliding solidly with the side of Johan’s head, the unsuspecting blonde dropping from the impact. The ball went sailing back, angled toward the goalpost behind him….
Clink.
It struck the vertical bar, only barely rolling into the net.
Tenma stood, bewildered, staring at the scene. Then he glanced down, at the slippery ball still sat there in front of him.
He never took the shot. Which meant that…..
He turned, slowly, baffled to see Dieter standing there, the ball he carried with him everywhere nowhere to be seen. When he saw that he’d scored, his face brightened, and he came running back down to Tenma, his eyes practically alight with relief.
Tenma could hardly say the same.
“Dieter, you…I told you not to get involved.”
He chewed his lower lip, pointing ahead of him. “You were gonna shoot that way, right? Straight ahead?”
Tenma blinked, then nodded. “Yes, I-”
“Bad move. You woulda lost. Go ahead, do it now. You’ll see.”
“Dieter, that doesn’t explain why….”
“Just do it! This is important. You’ll see.”
He opened his mouth, then shut it and sighed. If it would get Dieter to listen to him….Tenma backed up, as he had before. He took aim, as he had before. He started at the ball, delivering a sharp kick, and watched as it sailed far, far to the left. He glanced back toward Dieter, catching what was definitely a smug grin on his face for a few seconds.
“That’s what woulda happened. I saved you from making a bad decision!”
“But why? It should be direct…”
There was an annoyed huff this time. “You ever played football before?”
His silence was answer enough. There was that smugness again.
“That’s why.”
There was no more exchange, Dieter rushing back toward the others, most of whom had at least regained some semblance of strength. Tenma and Nina both crouched in front of Johan. It was utterly baffling to imagine that Dieter had such a powerful kick that he’d managed to knock the young man unconscious. At worst, he could have a concussion, but given time he would recover. Still, Tenma didn’t understand. The final showdown….
“Why this way? Why football?”
Nina shook her head, looking over Johan, her expression pensive and thoughtful. “You just don’t know him. You don’t know my brother. This….this was the only way. Even Reichwein and Gillen wouldn’t believe me, when I told them...”
Tenma shrugged, closing his eyes. His head was killing him….but at least….it was over now. It was over...this town was going to be all right. Everyone who lived here...and Dieter….
“I can see it too, Doctor. The end.”
He looked up, glancing at Nina, and again he felt that chill run down his spine. But it wasn’t Nina who was crouched there, not any more. It was Johan.
He stood, slowly, hair falling in front of his face. “The game’s not over yet.”
There was a thud as something fell in the living room. Grimmer, Nina and Dieter all stopped what they were doing, rushing from the kitchen to see Tenma, previously enjoying his first decent rest in weeks, unceremoniously tumbled from the couch to the floor, eyes wide and wild as he stared around in - admittedly humorous - bewilderment.
Only Dieter responded with sympathy, the other two bursting into laughter, Nina at least polite enough to head back into the kitchen to keep it to herself while Grimmer simply stood and chuckled, watching Dieter fuss about, crouching by Tenma.
“Are you okay? Did something happen? Was it a bad dream?”
The bleary ugh. he received in response didn’t seem to satisfy, Dieter refusing to move until Tenma at least sat up, rubbing the side of his head, looking around, no less exhausted in appearance than before.
“A nightmare…?” Grimmer prompted, and Tenma closed his eyes again, pinching the bridge of his nose, nodding quietly.
“I think Germany losing affected me more than I thought…”

TRIBES SWAPPED AT THIS POINT. 
Tumblr media
charlotte make this fucking post already before i combust
Tumblr media
YES THIS IS SO PERFECT!!! I WAS SO FUCKED ON THIS TRIBE! NOW I GET A SECOND CHANCE TO NOT BE A FLOP LETS GO LADIES! GOD BLESS
Tumblr media
LMFAO LMFAO ME JORDAN AND LILY ARE SAME TRIBE ITS OVER ALREADY WE GOT THIS
Tumblr media
I AM WITH LOGAN NUT NUT NUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm away from Madeline and Joradn and Toph and :( I'm worried! But I chose Kai so that's fun hopefully he'll stick with me fjndsfjsdak I'm gonna try to bond with Madison oh my this is a mess
Tumblr media
A 3-3 split on this tribe, I need to find an idol just in case, I'm not willing to go to rocks for Toph and I'm sure he is not for me. Lets see how this goes, Madeline exposing me as her friend already. Lets just win my Hippos, I don't want to go to tribal.
Tumblr media
Jaiden.... on my tribe again.... I like him but.... BUT... BUT he talks too much he's going to ruin my game GRRR. Hi Jaiden I love you but you WORRY ME
Tumblr media
Ugh I'm like REALLY emo I was separated from Jordan and Madeline what the FUCK we got the best scores WE DIDN'T EARN THISjdjasfklas i miss them rip. and now like everyone on my tribe is.... asleep. They're like ALL europeans. GET UP U FUCKS I NEED TO TALK TO U Also I'm going to make an alliance with one representative from each country and call it the United Nations... I'm just working on it okay it's going to happen
Tumblr media
WAIT FUCK IM AWAY FROM RHONE TOO WTF... I didn't think this through last night but honestly my second choice was Logan for the thing (first choice because I wanted him over Kai but I was scared of Madeline and Jordan) so like this wouldn't be very different but ugh. Toph, Rhone, Jordan, Madeline, and Ruthie (I forgot to talk about Ruthie I love her) are gone and I'm EMO AS HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
NICHOLAS IS PLAYING THIS GAME? I knew this but forgot, I remember he as INACTIVE and got a strike during the selfie round, eventually I hope I can get on his tribe I know he would tell me if he heard my name.
Tumblr media
Um another thing. I'm so happy to be on a yellow tribe. I love yellow it's the color of positivity and sunshine and that's me
Tumblr media
WOW THIS FUCKING TRIBE SWAP! WHAT THE HELLFUCK! THIS IS SO GOOD! Okay, so. Accordan to Jordan, Rhone wants to work alongside me JP and Nicholas, which I would be fine with. We're also excited for/planning to work with Jack as the trio of Jordan and his students, so... This is probably the most secure I've been all game. I was good on the Hippo tribe, but now I know for sure that I'm alright. But there's one other thing that excites me here, and that's our challenge potential. Sure, that's a general good thing, but it's super cool in my case for one specific reason. I've never been to a premerge Athena tribal. Watch my streak continue.
Tumblr media
Time to work my charm on this tribe HOPEFULLY I can find someone trustworthy to work closely with! I've played a game with Ian before and I mean, I thought he didn't like me after but we've talked since then a little and I'm excited that we have another chance to play and maybe start over, he may be the number one to tell all my tea to that I'm looking for!

Tumblr media
Hello my mates! 18 Castaways are left. So, the Swap happened and I am okay with my tribe so far. I get along well with Emily, but I'm a bit concerned that she picked Kai to stay on her team. I'm cautious around him. I'm back with Amanda and I don't really trust her anymore lol, but for now it's best to stick together, especially after what she's been through in the vote. But for now, I still want to talk a bit with Madison and Logan. I feel like I'm not the first target at the moment with a clear group of 2 in play and the old target on Amanda's back. I don't have that much to talk about yet, but I'm keen to get a bit more social now - last week was very heavy on the irl side. But I'm happy to be on a tribe that's so european. :D Cya soon~
Tumblr media
Ahh this tribe is pretty lit. I feel really safe within it. I have logan, Emily, Andreas and Amanda ahh this amazing Time to win a game
Tumblr media
https://youtu.be/TKydLkGHuNc
Tumblr media
I miss having people be awake and I’m awake and having an active tribe wtf happened I hate
Tumblr media
I really need these Europeans to wake the fuck up why was I put on a tribe with ALL OF THE EUROPEANS WHAT IS THIS FDMJKLSAJLK I just want their input on the song ideas and they're absent because they're sleeping and I get that but also FUCK THAT WTF I just want to get started with this challenge I'm excited and energized and avoiding doing my homework
Tumblr media
I just love Logan
Tumblr media
So I'm definitely happy with this new tribe. Lily, Jordan and Nicholas are all people I wanted to work with on Hippolyta so for them to all be here means that we can lose a challenge and probably be okay! I'm completely indifferent towards Jack and Raymond honestly. I'm so bad at connecting w people sometimes especially men, idk why. I'm just slow to warm up to people I guess. I HATE music video challenges because I'm really busy IRL and don't have time for this shit quite frankly. Idek what I'm gonna contribute to this challenge yet so I guess I'll just have to see what I'm able to do tonight.
Tumblr media
OKAY NEW TRIBE WOOOOO! Rankdown! Emily - THE SWEETEST SWEET BEAN. Obviously I want to work with her going forward. She'll be my new like f6. She'll beat me past that, comp queen. Kai - My literal son? I love him. He's a good one, and I wanna see if I can make this hoe my goat. I'm not going to be a goat this game, but I'll see if I can be a goat farmer :~) Madison - My inactive queen. I can EASILY make her my goat. I know she _can_ get far in games, and I'd like to take her there again. Hopefully I can make her loyal and keep her out of the crosshairs by feeding her limited information. If she thinks I'm gonna just tell her shit, I can hold onto that relationship for a long ass time. Andreas and Amanda - Both of them talk to me about the same, and these are my first targets to go. While they're both sweet, I don't think they'll end up being much help to the tribe, aside from Andreas winning reward for us. Amanda didn't even guess, not that I'm shocked. I told people this would happen. They didn't believe me. I'm never fucking wrong.
Tumblr media
ok so im hella bored at school 1. i am super stoked about the new tribes still! this is GREAT! i have been put into that hippo alliance which makes me think that i am in a p good position bc they see me as a semi-inactive goat type but they also need my vote to keep majority for now so im gonna keep on doing me ~ 2. the reward disadvantage thingy is probably good. it lets us most likely go to tribal and vote someone out which usually isn't a good thing but now i can use my vote as currency to prove loyalty! 3. this challenge? is perfect for my game right now because it lets me participate for once and prove i am an asset to the tribe for now! people are usually reluctant to submit for lip syncs but idc what people think about me so u know my dramatic ass will submit! ok thats it for now yeehaw
Tumblr media
I’m on mobile so I can’t quote rn but Logan: Can we just make a pact now Logan: we’re not letting Jordan pines get anywhere near the end of this fucking game Listen, I know he’s right, but... UGH I NEED TO LISTEN TO LOGAN WHO I KNOW WILL BE A BETTER ALLY TO ME jwnjwwnjwnwjwn maybe Jordan will go out pre merge so I don’t have to show anyone my cards regarding him lmao but who can never be sure????
Tumblr media
Was awesome to not be given the disadvantage, I'm not sure what all went in their decision as to who to give it to but glad it wasn't us. This challenge is the most dreaded aspect of these games for me. I'd rather have winterbells two rounds in a row than a music video
Tumblr media
I feel like this is a school group project that I do my portion for but then I don’t get the portions from any one else until an hour before class. I’m gonna cry tbh Europeans please it’s like 3-4 your time WHERE IS UR SHIT and like literally this song is only three minutes long the least you can do is record yourself lip syncing to the song and upload it to YouTube and send me the link I’m SCREAMING
Tumblr media
Okay Amanda is at the emergency room that’s um a very valid excuse but WHERE THE FUCCCCC ARE KAI AND MADISON?? Andreas and Logan told me they were filming later today but @Madison @Kai HENLO U STINKY TRIBE MEMBERS WHERE R U
Tumblr media
Omg SO I just got out of my American History class and we have been talking about WWII so my teacher is talking about double agents and this guy called Garbo and I’m literally sitting in class thinking ... this is a genius strategy to use in Survivor I’m crying!!! So like basically I’m going to be Garbo, posing as a German and feeding the Germans accurate information up until D-Day where I fuck everything up for the Germans and get right with the British. D-Day meaning ... the day we take out Germany's closest ally. Germany meaning literally any person I want to screw over and British being ... probably Logan and whomever Logan and I want to work with. See like this would work out better if things were actually happening in the game wkwjwjnsja ... I don’t think much is happening on my tribe (at least I hope not) like I haven’t been put into any alliances so that’s :-/ there’s probably an alliance I don’t know about and they’re plotting against me and I won’t even be able to use my cute Garbo strategy. Also like this is an old and flawed strategy I’m sure but IM JUST TRYING TO BE GARBO OKAY he’s an icon and tbh a very big reason why the Axis Powers lost WWII so we all need to appreciate Garbo. Also if this dude’s name isn’t Garbo then my history teacher told me wrong and I’m just looking really silly but my history teacher is a woke bitch so I trust him. Thank you Garbo for doing the good shit and also inspiring me for this game lol
Tumblr media
Anyone want to learn more about Agent Garbo? Um here are articles: http://www.npr.org/2012/07/07/156189716/agent-garbo-the-spy-who-lied-about-d-day https://www.mi5.gov.uk/agent-garbo HISTORY IS IMPORTANT!!!

OH BITCH I DID NOT NEED THAT FUCKIN ATTITUDE this is me hinting to Kai that he should ... send in a video lmao. I get that like he doesn't have much time but three minutes P L E A S E it's going to be so weird if our video has three people in it! I'm getting Madison to send in a lip sync too (possibly) so that makes me not frustrated with her but like ....... Kai with this attitude "I did mention it in the tribe chat already xD" SHUT THE FUCK UP use REAL FUCKING EMOJIS and then he calls me "HUN" BITCHD FJKDSJFKAS I love over reaction but anyways our video is going to be weird because like Logan, Andreas, and I are the only ones who have submitted stuff!!!!!! UGLY!!!!!
Tumblr media
I actually had a lot of fun filming for the challenge! Wish I could've gotten that bass line down a little better...smh I'm really surprised about Jordan. He's like a Sour Patch Kid -- first they're sour, then they're sweet. I just hosted him in Island of Shade and it's funny how I went from literally having his bitch ass blocked after House of Shade 9 to now where we're allies and kind of...friends? He's really matured in the couple of years we've known each other and it's actually really sweet to see. I do feel like he's a great ally for me because he's stronger than me in competitions and I crush him in any endgame scenario presuming I don't totally bungle my social game at the merge (and there's a non-zero chance of that happening tbqh). He's a genuinely good person even if he is kind of irritating at times. I'm like six years older than him so of course I'm gonna find him irritating lmao. Can't really say much about anyone else on this new tribe. Just not getting a great vibe from Raymond, Jack hasn't really tried to talk to me, and I trust Lily and Nicholas but they're both pretty inactive. I feel like Jordan and I are kind of the heart of this tribe right now, which hopefully means if we do lose this challenge we'll be safe. I just really hope someone I wanted to work with in this game doesn't get swapfucked tomorrow! :(
Tumblr media
Here is the first draft that I’m submitting a confession to prove that ... only half of our tribe has submitted and we have five hours unrbabsjwbwjwb https://youtu.be/idbuRp73rig I’m literally,,,, CRYING what the HECK where is EVERYONE PLEASE HELP ME why can’t kai submit like wtf. Logan also told me not to expect much out of Madison so WOOHOO!!! I LOVE LOSING IMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
HONESTLY the main thing I've learned from all this is not to listen to what anyone has told me about other people.
Logan
YASSSS MY FIRST IMMUNITY WIN! I DON'T HAVE TO PLAN A TRIBAL COUNCIL! OR NOTHING! I'M SO HAPPY! Prayers for my boy Raymond but yAS!
Tumblr media
This is amazing. I was worried that if we lost and i didnt actuallt participate thered be a higher chance of me being voted out but i still feel super safe and in a good position with everyone!
Tumblr media
Yay I’m glad we won! I am excited to watch all these!
Tumblr media
The Men Lips came out with that WIN HONEY! I’m so happy! How did we do that I’m really shook. I have such low confidence in myself I really did not expect out tribe to win wowie snabajbanan now I get a day off! How fun! I’m sick rn so like that’s good all I want to do is watch Buzzfeed Unsolved and wait for this announcement that Charlotte/LA/JD were talking about earlier.... hmm. If we’re tribe swapping AGAIN I’ll cry sksbsjsnsjs but honestly? Not so bad. I don’t really like my tribe too much but of course I love Logan lol. And Andreas is cool. Anyway YAY WE WON
Tumblr media
“i liked the knives and the cat. i also liked the girl waving around the knives. that was the highlight for me.” I WAS THE HIGHLIGHT FOR HER SJJSNSNSNS IM HONORED
Tumblr media
Also fun fact: my dad yelled at me for using his expensive professional binoculars because I didn’t put them in their case correctly when I like put them up lol. But it was worth it honey we won-y

Hello again! There's a rainbow outside my window right now. https://i.imgur.com/1KZpEFA.jpg BECAUSE WE JUST WON IMMUNITY! I really didn't expect that since I didn't give it my best, but oh well... I am not complaining. :) Emily did most of the work, props to her. Logan contributed as much as I did. Amanda, Kai and Madison are MIA - even in chat for the most part. But that won't matter too much right now. Also yay, it was fun winning the Reward Challenge by punishing that cheeky A1 placement. CHECKMATE ANTELOPES! There were no Antelopes in Ancient Greece. And soon there won't be any in Themyscira. I am already a bit scared about the next Challenge, but for now, I'll have a relaxed evening. Also, if Madison doesn't start doing much soon, we'll have an easy target SHOULD we go to Tribal Council in the near future. See ya again in Round 4 :)

okay so going into tribal tonight i feel good! i have my og hippo alliance of 4 and then i have good enough bonds with raymond and jack to where i dont think that they would come for me if given the chance. the logical thing to do is to vote out someone who didn't contribute on the challenge, but i know that isn't going to happen because if the og hippo alliance falls apart then that leaves a lot of room for uncertainty. however i do know if we go to tribal more than 1 more time after this i will be the next one to leave the game because i am the lowest on the totem pole for the og hippo alliance. it sucks and i don't want to do it but i think i have no choice but to vote with the hippos damnit

Wow Madeline is annoying huh?

Oh my god that last confessional was ME djxjsjdjf
(((((Host: bitch >.> ))))

Love Antiope turning into the new Copa... not a good run so far. I'm siding with the Hippolyta majority to vote out Raymond, and after that, me, Jordan, and Lily will become the majority if we have to vote someone out again. Or maybe I'm just gonna get voted out and then I'll just die. Who knows.

Do you drink tea or coffee? How do you take it? 
i do! uhh with tea like, sweet tea + lemon or better yet Lemonade is great... i like green tea, and fruity teas like raspberry especially or the like, and i’ve had mint too and i think it’s great....i always like to sweeten it....with honey if there’s any. also i usually drink it hot b/c that’s just like, the easiest. iced sweet tea / lemon/ade is great but like, what a hassle waiting for it to get cold, right? 
re: coffee, i haven’t had nearly as much experience drinking it as with tea, so like......well hang on, i’d go to the Coffee On The Corner (now called something else which i forget) place a couple blocks from my college campus b/c of otherwise being lonely and being like “oh god can i be around other people for a while,” and i’d get mochas there, and sometimes add raspberry to that. usually i go for something like that, or once i had like, a lavender frappucino or something at the best place to get donuts in the world (sugar shack) and it kinda fucked. i’ve at least sampled iced coffee and thought it was great, i get what everyone’s on about. anyways i Usually just have like, plain hot coffee, though that’s not exactly a preference lmao.....and i sweeten it and add creamer because like, i love myself and like to enjoy things.
What was the last song you listened to?
i was listening to wrol performances most recently while washing dishes......i remember teenage dirtbag, That amphibian, and flesh & bone being among the ones i was listening to towards the end
Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?
sorta, there’s this ostensibly-a-fox really soft like throw pillow guy that’s not even mine but i’ll lie against it sometimes
What’s your ideal number of blankets to sleep with?
i usually sleep with this one really solid blanket i got from target, or if it’s cold i’ll add the faux-down comforter i also got from target. s/o to the person who recommended its ikea equivalent that time i was sleeping in real cold temps and like “please recommend me blankets” b/c that one is Very insular and like, it’s always Enough when i add it to the other blanket when it’s too cold for just the one. cuz like, i guess ideally i’d like to sleep with as few as possible But i want to be warm enough. also, i’d probably enjoy a weighted blanket. i’ve never really had one but i like heavy blankets and am Pressure Friendly. and then plus there’s this thing i do ever since this one semester at college where i’ll lie something over the whole top half of my head while i sleep like to cover my eyes, and it’s weird trying to sleep without that ever now. rn i use a bathrobe. so that’s kind of another Ideal requirement ig??
What color are your eyes?
blue
Fears?
the idea of global catastrophic climate change literally haunts my dreams......when i think of “certain health issues that could happen” i am like guess i’d die..........i fear prison in that well i know i could endure it like, ha ha what else is new (some aspects would be new) but it’s the “being cut off from the outside world which is where everyone who knows me is” part where i’m like, well i’d really really rather not have to go through that.......i have some like not-quite-phobias which are sort of manageable if i really really have to deal with it, and also possibly have a long time to steel myself........though i guess i’m sort of nervous about heights Always. it’s yknow, like, uh, most of my Fears are more of “i really Dread this”. oh and i find some other stuff like, not quite “i have a phobia” but intensely perturbing. i do not like very large mechanical things, for example, that operate automatically. like very large engine-type stuff. possibly because it is a very large and loud moving object, or because a machine can kill you easily without knowing. maybe in a past life i was a child in an industrial society pre-child-labor-laws reform. hope not! not my fave way to go! also even though i like swimming, sometimes Thoughts About Pools make me nervous. flowave perturbs me, for example, b/c i can’t help thinking of how bad it would be to be in that water with all these moving mechanical parts generating large waves. also there’s some large like art installation that’s this large Eternal Circling Drain Into Vague Stygian Depths which disturbs me for similar reasons. anyways we’re getting kinda elaborate here but. oh!! same as prison basically but if i can’t be in touch with the outside world it’s like haha........aha....a.....
Want any piercings? Where?
at one point i was like “i kinda like fun earrings, maybe it’d be fun to be able to wear them” but lbr now im like ugh the whole getting a new piercing process is such a hassle and i would probably end up never / hardly ever wearing earrings anyhow, what’s the point. so i guess No
Do you have a best friend? How long have you been friends?
soph is my best friend u_u we started talking last november so, going on about eleven months. our Innovation within that time frame.....our minds........also can you believe soph Just got to see deh? that was a historic occasion and i hope everyone fully appreciates that
Do you believe in aliens?
you know what they say: the only two possibilities are that we are the only Life in existence or we are not, and either is extraordinary! :o but like really if this universe is one of infinite, limitless space, and/or there are parallel or alternate universes, then like...other life totally exists, since when you’re dealing with Infinity stars and planets and such, and there’s a nonzero chance that other planets could have developed life (which there is), that means that there Would be life on other planets. infinite planets, really. but it’s neat that when you’re dealing with the observable universe and the range of what we can estimate based on what we Know so far....there’s still a decent chance it really Could be just us rn. and the scale of Time and Space are so wild that it’s like, easily true that we might as well be functionally alone whether it’s because we’re too far apart in space or b/c our “time during which life exists” doesn’t overlap, much less the surely briefer time range in which life capable of communication exists...drake equation time.........but also like if it’s all “oh yeah contact’s been / will be made” i wouldn’t be shocked like wow thought that was impossible. life from other planets is just like, statistics and shit. and the scientifically-informed answer to that math is still “shruggg”....but why Should we be literally unique in all of existence. and if they exist or not has nothing to do with my belief either way so it’s not that important to me that i decide
Does it take you a long time to make decisions? 
pretty much lol i am very passive. though if i feel like i’m left to my own devices Truly? i can sort of be impulsive
What are you looking forward to in the distant future?
well i Could say season 5 of billions, since tbh “early-ish 2020″ counts as the distant future and it seems extremely likely it will give us more winston content, but you really can’t say you ever “look forward” to billions. it’s cursed and like, can give you brief and shining moments and some kind of neat elements, but like. it really overall brings Dread and Repulsion and Agony and etc and we’re in hell!!!!! but uhh beyond that i have nothing concrete lmfao rip
Do you prefer dogs or cats?
well i really like cats but i like dogs too
What’s your favorite cartoon? 
idk atla really did all That didn’t it
Do you have siblings? How many?
two! i’m in the middle
Have you memorized your phone number?
well every time i’ve had a phone number i’ve had it memorized lmao
