Week ending: 4th August

A linguistic curiosity this week: two songs both with the contracted form of "ev'ry". That's not something you see much nowadays. I don't know when it faded out, either - I guess you only really see it in songs, otherwise there's no reason to specify that you're using the contracted version, outside of lyrics? I wonder if Americans were also doing it, or if this is a specifically British type of stuffiness?

Ev'ry Day of My Life - Malcolm Vaughan (peaked at Number 5)

Malcolm Vaughan was a Welsh singer who I had absolutely never heard of before this entry, but apparently alongside the McGuire sisters, he did a version of this song, later popularised by Bobby Vinton in the 70s. So I'm hoping for a serviceable pop standard, fresh enough for people 20 years later to want to revamp it. Is that too much to hope for?

We start with some very dramatic violins, and then a rather operatic slow-down into the main lyrics. And what lame lyrics they are, right out of a book of clichés, about how Every day of my life, I'll be in love with you / Every day of my life, I promise I'll be true. Et cetera. Malcolm will prove his love every day for the rest of his life, he'll prove it over and over, he'll be devoted always to you. Honestly, it smacks of either desperation or protesting too much. There's such thing as too much effort, Malcolm!

The only really notable thing is the bizarrely RP accent on youuuuu at the end of certain lines. Malcolm was Welsh, but you wouldn't know it. I feel like the Beatles might have been a tipping point here, with regional accents suddenly becoming okay in music, but I'm excited to see if somebody else comes along sooner to prove me wrong.

He has a set of pipes. You can't deny that. So of course we get a Big Old Ending. It's tolerable, because Malcolm really can sing, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I have nothing else to say about this, but researching it I found out an excellent fact about a song that will appear on this blog in the 1956 section. So look forward to that, I guess.

Ev'rywhere - David Whitfield (3)

In any other entry, I feel like I'd have a sense that the only was was up, at this point. But it's David Whitfield, so I suspect we're going to get more of the same, but with less vocal chops. I'm open to being proven wrong, though. Maybe this will be the David Whitfield song that I finally love?

We start with some gentle violin melody, and then - and I am not making this up - an even more ridiculous version of the silly RP "you" that Malcolm used. Even worse, there's a pronounced "h" sound in the titular "ev'rywhere" and a distinctly reedy-sounding "meeeeeee" at the end of the line. So the first line sounds like Youuuu are everyHwhere, / EveryHwhere youuuu're there / Night and day youuu share with meeeeeeeeee.

This carries on throughout the song - if there's a choice between pronouncing a word normally or in an irritatingly affected fashion, you know which one David has chosen. There's a bit of his trademark strangled delivery on other lines, and then of course, the Biggest Oldest Endings of Big Old Endings, because David will not be outdone by some Welsh upstart.

You know, this made me wonder if David also has an accent he's suppressing, and wouldn't you know, he's from Hull. So probably also a bit of an accent-based classism dynamic. Which really ought to endear him to me a bit, as a fellow Northerner, but somehow doesn't.

It doesn't help here that the lyrics are super creepy. They're meant to be about how David's love is always on his mind, but it also sounds plausibly like they're dead and he's hallucinating their ghost? How else should I take lyrics about how Now I know you’re gone / You still linger on / You’re a haunting memory, or about how, walking down an empty street his love is still there, For now I’m on my own / I’ll never walk alone.

Actually, I think the ghost interpretation maybe improves this song. Otherwise, it's just about a break-up that David's hung-up on. Which is much less interesting. But ghost love following you around? That's some good material, metaphorical or otherwise.

Well, those songs were cut from very similar cloth. But my distaste for David Whitfield cannot be stifled! I cannot wait for him to no longer be scoring top 10 hits.

Favourite song of the bunch: Ev'ry Day of My Life

thinking about putting some short stories and/or poetry here to be more active writing-wise.

If anyone has any advice on how to do it—through google docs, under “read more”, or through another link, pleassseeeeee let me know 💕

INITRAY WHY ERES ASI????????????

[canaryatlaw]

alright, so today’s been a bit of a whirlwind. sadly my laziness (or chronic exhaustion, if you prefer that label) got the best of me and I slept through the middle church service and ubered to the last one since I was signed up for the nursery. this is why it’s better when I’m signed up for the middle service so I’m not tempted to skip out. but I made it there with a bit left in the service and got to watch it for a bit so that was nice. it was centered around joy, and the part at the end I got to witness involved a dancing christmas tree, menorah, and dinosaur onstage while they handed out krispy kreme donuts, because how else would you define joy??? (for context, they had their annual Christmas store event yesterday where they have low income families from the communities our church support come in and be able to buy presents for their children and families at very reduced prices, with all the proceeds going to charity, and while the adults are doing this they also do entertainment for the kids, so the costumes were leftover from that and I suppose they decided to put them to work. I heard that the little kids were very much NOT a fan of the dinosaur 😂) service ended and we had our volunteer huddle before heading over to the room where I helped with the pick up of kids from the last service and drop off for our service. I think we ended up with 4 helpers so that’s a decent number, and I think we had like 8 or so babies so that’s a pretty good ratio. things were fairly calm for the most part, a few of them were crying on and off but were ultimately consolable, didn’t have to call any parents so that’s always a win, especially when we found out at the end that one of the little girls we had had been having issues the last few weeks that resulted in calls to parents, and this was the first time that didn’t happen, so that’s encouraging. At the end of the service we cleaned up and I waited for the last parents to show up (always the ones that are volunteering in some capacity themselves so they tend to be the last to pick up) then headed out. The plan was to go to the place to get brunch for the date after church. I’m gonna try to explain the route of the blue line and the bus route the best I can because my navigation in this got a bit complicated. I can take the bus right from my corner to basically a straight line down. my church is right off the blue line, which intersects the bus twice, as the blue line makes a V in and out of downtown, traveling southeast until it hits downtown, then traveling southwest out of it, with church being on the southwest prong. I generally take the bus to the first intersection and take the V down to the church because it tends to be faster. the second intersection is only one station west of my church, but for some reason the bus service is really spotty from that station so I tend to avoid it. but this brunch place was right off the bus route, and it was before the first (northern) intersection of the blue line, so it made sense for me to take it one stop west on the southwest prong and take the bus from there, so that’s what I did, except the bus service was spotty and I ended up taking an uber from the train station to the place so I didn’t end up being late. Met up with the guy, there was a bit of a wait so we walked over to a coffee shop nearby and hung out for a bit until we got called. this place was entirely Ron Swanson themed (from Parks and Rec) which was really just so flipping fantastic, and the food was very good. He was a self-confessed nerd, so we talked a lot about comics and superheroes and all that good stuff, and at some point the conversation migrated to the various systemic problems in child welfare and criminal justice (probably because he was saying he tends to lean libertarian on some issues but still supported social services and such) which is always interesting. overall it was nice, I’m not sure if I’m feeling any romantic attraction but I guess we’ll see where it goes from here. Once we finished I got on the bus with the intent to take it the rest of the way home (and here’s where things get really complicated) until I got a phone call from who turned out to be the guy who had done the custom fitting for the suits the law firm I was working for was paying for us to get, and he had the suit and was passing through Chicago tonight and said if we could meet up I could try it on and get it. There was a tense moment when I was like “you know I’m not with the firm anymore, right?” and he said he did but the suit was still made and paid for so it’s mine. he was heading west into the city and was hoping we could meet before he hit downtown where he was meeting with the other women from the firm who I definitely did not want to see, and I knew there was a starbucks a few blocks from my church that would be in his direct path, and at this point the bus was just coming to the northern intersection of the blue line, so I hopped off the bus and got back on the train and took it down to where my church was (I told you this was complicated). So I bought a snack and sat down to wait, he showed up a few minutes later and gave me the suit to try on, so I went to the bathroom and like. guys. it’s so perfect. I love it so much. like I can’t even tell you. I like actually had been really sad about it because I thought I wasn’t going to get it anymore since I don’t work there but it’s made and it’s mine and I love it so much lol it’s great. the only thing I was kinda meh on was the button, but that’s super easy to get replaced so I’m not concerned about that. and like, it’s a fucking super nice suit, custom made, like that shit retails for like $1,000 so this was QUITE the bonus from a company I no longer work for 😂😂😂 so this was pretty awesome. I took an uber pool home because I didn’t want to deal with having it on public transit. when I got home I chilled for a bit and got ready for the first night of the crossover, which I was going to be livetweeting from the Batwoman Podcast account for the first time. Overall I thought the episode was pretty solid, I have to fangirl about what was by far the best part for me, which was of course the inclusion of Clark and Lois which they filmed on the Kent farm from Smallville, and when they transferred to that scene they played the iconic Smallville theme song that’s all like SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEEEEEE and y’all, I actually died. my soul left my body. I was legit screaming, like I CANNOT believe they actually did that. if we get more Smallville references in this crossover as its been hinted we might in the preview clip I will actually die and probably remain so. So I was completely overwhelmed by that lol. But I did of course watch the scene with the introduction of Lois to the universe and man, I love her so much already. Between schooling Clark on some sexism to being ready to fight off Oliver and Barry with a hammer to saying “go get him Barry!” because Oliver’s “kind of a joke” I just totally fell in love with her. she’s perfect. Of course then I absolutely died again when she called Clark “Smallville” in the same exact way that Erica Durance as Lois Lane did on Smallville which is a thing that was completely unique to Smallville, I screamed again and it was just so damn good. so that was obviously the highlight of it for me. the Barry and Oliver training stuff was interesting, I’m not sure how I feel about the whole “Barry has to draw on darkness to use Oliver’s skills” thing which just seems a bit unnecessary, but maybe they’ll pull it through. I thought the beginning was pretty funny with Oliver waking up to Iris and them all being so thoroughly confused about everything. Then there was the fight scene at the end which was pretty good all around, very inventive with the number of heroes participating in the fight and how their various power sets were used. Of course it peaked my interest that this was “Ivo” labs and the robot was named “AMAZO” which is intriguing because it’s a very different interpretation than Arrow took on the subject, yet it’s much closer to the overall DC universe lore about the character and his creations. I found it particularly interesting though that they were linking the mirakuru to the robot, which was of course something that came directly from Arrow’s plot regarding Ivo and the Amazo (ship) so I’m curious as to where they’re going from there on that subject (if it’s not just a throwaway line, anyway). The ending where they decided to go to Gotham and the shot of Batwoman on the roof was really fucking epic, and definitely a great place to end the episode. So yeah, excited for tomorrow’s installment and of course the Legends episode airing right after it that is sure to be fucking hilarious. Once that was over I watched this past week’s episodes of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Blindspot before watching the last episode of the newest season of Great British Baking Show and I just want to say I’m very proud of Rahul and I hope he truly knows how talented he is and goes far in life. and yeah, shortly after finishing that I started getting ready for bed (and definitely wasted time in there somewhere) and now I’m here and it’s almost 2 am because I’m bad about this stuff, so I should really be getting to bed now. Goodnight my dearies. Hope your Monday doesn’t suck.

Traditions (Ethan Nestor) (1st Day of Christmas)

Title: Traditions

Word Count: 778

Requested By: Meeeeeeeeee

Summary: Ethan and Reader have had a tradition for years. What happens when Ethan can’t make it home for Christmas?

A/N: Wooooowwwwwiiiiiieeeee this was a struggle. I am such a procrastinator and I didn’t write this until maybe two hours ago….I’m so sorry. But here we go! Tune in tomorrow for the 2nd Day of Christmas! Enjoy!

Winter. The season of sweaters, and blankets, and everything cozy. You loved it, and so did your boyfriend Ethan. You’d been sending him pictures of the snow and his dogs out playing in the fluffy white powder since he wasn’t sure he’d be able to make it home for the holidays.

Sure, you could understand that he had responsibilities out in LA, but, for the first time, he was going to miss out on your tradition of watching hours upon hours of Christmas movies. You two had always done it. It started way back in middle school when you moved in next to him.

You had just changed into your most comfortable pajamas. Christmas music played loudly in the kitchen while you gathered all the snacks you could possibly need. Ethan ha made you promise you wouldn’t end the tradition simply because he couldn’t make it. You grabbed your phone and sent him a picture of you in the Rudolph onesie that Ethan had gifted you the year before. You grinned when he replied almost immediately. Upon opening the message, you saw that it was just a bunch of heart eye emojis.You rolled your eyes, making sure you had everything you would need to not leave your sofa for at least five hours.

Hot cocoa, popcorn, cookies, more popcorn, green and red m&ms, and about twenty blankets. The only thing missing from the equation was Ethan. You texted him once more.

‘Are you sure you want me to do this without you?’

You had everything set up. The lights were off, leaving just the dim lighting from the Christmas lights you had hung all over your house. You’d put in Frosty the Snowman and everything was ready. Still, you just wanted to make sure that Ethan didn’t mind. You knew you were probably being completely ridiculous. He’d insisted that you keep the tradition alive, of course he wouldn’t mind. It had been ages since you’d texted him and still, no reply, so you decided to give him a call.

The phone rang for so long that you were sure you’d go to voicemail. When he answered his phone, you couldn’t help the grin that rose to your face.

“Hey, Eth. What are you up to?” You asked. You could hear people talking in the background. Most likely Mark, or somebody else from the team.

“Hey, baby. I was just trying to get some work done.” He answered. You felt a pang of guilt. You were keeping him from his work, you were interrupting him just so you could ask him a stupid question about watching some movies. “What’s up with you?” You could hear the smile in his voice.

“I know this probably sounds stupid. I was just calling to make sure you want me to do the marathon without you.” You asked. Your voice felt smaller than ever. You weren’t used to disrupting him while he worked. Would he be angry with you?

“Of course. I’ll be done pretty soon and then we can video chat. It’ll be like I’m right there.” He promised. In the blink of an eye, your fears were gone. You both said your goodbyes and you started your marathon.

You were about halfway through your first movie when you heard the door open. You didn’t look up since you knew your brother was getting home from his date.

“How was it?” You called, taking a drink of your lukewarm cocoa.

“The flight was pretty long, but it could have been worse.” A voice answered. A voice that didn’t belong to your brother. A voice that definitely belonged to your boyfriend who was supposed to be stuck in Los Angeles.

“Oh my god! Ethan!” You flung yourself to your feet, tripping a bit on your blanket before managing to free yourself. Before either of you knew it, you were hugging him. He was freezing cold and there was a puddle at his feet but you couldn’t possibly care less.

“Miss me?” He teased, hugging you tightly.

“I thought you said you couldn’t come home.” You shifted back to look at him before pulling him back to you for another tight hug.

“I figured it out.” He answered with a laugh. It felt like it had been forever since you’d heard that laugh in person. “I couldn’t miss this marathon.”

“At his words, your attention was drawn back to the movie still playing on the television. You motioned towards the couch. He kicked of his shoes and followed you back to your sofa, joining you in your pile of blankets and pillows.

He’d be damned if he was letting this tradition die.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hey guys! Welcome to the series. From now until Christmas Eve there will be something holiday or winter themed posted every single day and then a big ol Teamiplier imagine will be posted on Christmas day as my present to you guys. So, please stay tuned in and tell your friends because I’m desperate for attention (I’m kidding, I’m kidding. This is all for you.)

Episode 1 Pt. 1: “Playing A Game With A Fresh Slate” - Jessica

JESSICA

chamomile

JABARI

So im a little slow with names to start but everyone seems chill and nice to be around. I hope I can find some like-minded people here 

JESSICA

Hello hello hello, it is Jessica here with a confessional. I don't know a single soul in this game except for Silver and we are not even on the same tribe. I also barely know him so it's basically like I'm playing a game with a fresh slate! It's nice because I feel like I used to have a Reputation with a capital R and sometimes that made it difficult to play the way I wanted (which is chaotically but in a cute way). But since no one knows me... I can use whatever strategy I want and hopefully they don't see it coming. I am tied for the oldest person here. Everyone is college aged (or even HIGH SCHOOL aged? Didn't know people still did that) so I do not know what we are going to talk about. My only interests are taxes and coffee, things that kids these days know nothing about! Also I am only allowed one teenager friend without it being weird and that person is Zach so I will just vote out the rest of the teenagers in this cast. The tribe wants to play pictionary later so I am going to join that and wow them all with my art skills. All right that's it, that's my confessional for this round. I probably won't even need to write any more until merge because I will be immune every round :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) I am manifesting that it will happen 

CLOUD

my tribe is seeming kinda dry</3 but thats okay im here to be insane and annoying not to win 

SHANE 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IyGBdqi4OzsqrfedJim18OWhn-K1A5Lp/view?usp=sharing

PENNINO

I'm coming into this game with the mentality of "you need to write a vl everyday, a confessional every day and communicate with everyone every day. I don't think I know anyone on my tribe apart from Nicole and Silver, who I am looking forward to possibly work with. I'm the youngest as always. Jabari seems worried about the image he gives off. Nash looks like that chatty archetype, someone you can go to vent to. Mikey was pretty excited to not be the youngest. Jake seems like a pretty nice guy. His first ORG, and with 15 orgs under my belt, I think I actually can help, but he loves survivor so he must know the strategies. I think I know jones from other ORGs, but she wasn't very active today. Or maybe I just wasn't awake for it. Jennet seems like a cool person I'd like to talk to. Same goes for Lindsay. As for Brookesia, I couldn't help but notice that Ethan reminds me of someone, I just don't know why. No thoughts on Daisy, Lovelis, Sam, or Shane. Jessica is giving me a strange vibe. She's gonna get to swap/merge, and in those later days, I think she has the possibility to become a villain. Or maybe that's gonna be me hehehehe. Cloud spoke in ITALIAN in their Intro Video and I'M EXCITED CAUSE MAYBE THEYRE  ITALIAN. Madison is someone I know from another ORG and great person, may not get to even meet her, she may get booted out pre-swap. Everyone knows Sammy, may be considered as a liability and I do too. I'm hella scared of him, but I just hope Brookesia sees the threat before I'm on a tribe with him. And then there's Pete. Ughhhhhh whyyyyyy. Bitch you can't make that show up on my screen at 2 am and expect me not too have nightmares. May be just all for show and he may be voted out first. For now, let's just try to make friends. I could just go to Jake or Silver. I don't know yet, I still have to talk with everyone

NICOLE

So? This is overwhelming a bit. I haven’t played survivor in almost a year and really didn’t think I’d be playing any more games. Yet, here I am! And it’s very weird, because I like everyone so far on a surface level which means I might be the weakest member of the tribe? I don’t think that’s how that works. I’ve been talking to Jake a bit, Lindsay a bit, Pennino a bit, then I love Nash and Jones. Jennet and I were active at different times I think so I haven’t gotten to speak to them yet but I have watched them play Toy Story! And Jabari was really nice but we talked about the weather and the weather only so uh..we are gonna have to talk more. In a big game like this you have to have the personality and active time to move forward so, I’m trying to show people I have that. It’s just real hard to do so, and also Silver...he is hard to keep up with. I’ve been hosting him for the past month and I just find it difficult to find an in to align with him on, not really trying to align with him honestly. But I feel like I’d probably do good at pretending to align with him, which is all that matters right? In terms of the other tribe...kisses all of them. Sammy? Love of my life. Daisy? Love of all our lives. Like, these are super likable people! So it’s a little worrisome to have big personalities over there, I really hope they don’t eat each other before a swap can happen. Especially Madison and Daisy, both of them have a tendency to uh...stick with the men...and vote out the women. So I’m really hoping history doesn’t repeat because I’d love to work with both of them! I feel like I’m solid if I can find a way to keep communication constant this round and show I can help out. I feel like rallying the girls and the theys this round may be an opportunity. I feel bad because Silver is doing all this and I know sammy is a graphic designer LOL Speaking of he should be working on my book cover not this game...anyway I’m gonna go back to sleep for an hour before work but I hope this tribe shows an inact soon because I’m starting to feel like the weakest link 😳

PETE 

so right off the bat i’m really vibing with Ethan we immediately found our shared love for Bowser & Roadhog as our gay dads aw ♡ also talked to sammy since we have a little history but we’re cool i really think it’ll go well this time around at least i hope

(a little later)

IM SO HDDJ NICOLE IS HERE SHES GONNA KILL MEEEEEEEEEE IM DELETING BYE

LINDSAY

i recorded this very late so im sorry if its a mess: 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17C9vr8lGOFOx02Dg1_RrnYf4FznoVcYY/view?usp=sharing

Also to add one pennino immediately started interrogating me about people i didnt like and is generally not giving me great vibes like dude. chill it down on the aggression. you gotta make a connection w people before you start doing shit like that and we definitely didn't have one yet. obviously i vagued him (while giving him just a little bit of tea so it wasnt intensely obv i was vaguing) but dude... dont do that shit. we ain't even know if we goin' to tribal yet what the fuck.

ETHAN

Charan's Hot Confessional Questions for Leafy (Charan is my diary room buddy <3) :dance: 1. You've had the evening to get to meet your new tribemates! Who are you connecting with? Who are you struggling to connect with? How did the Tribe VC go? I feel like I am getting my foot in the door with most of them, so rather than saying who I am connecting super well with, I will say Kiki is the only one who I haven't had a conversation with. They got back from work right after everything happened, and I was already asleep, and they have not messaged me back yet today. The tribe vc was fun! I love vcs, as my diary room buddies RYAN and CHARAN know, as they are a way to make even deeper connections, and talk about things more efficiently. VCs are also a way to more quickly understand the personalities of who I am talking with, so I got a lot of info quickly. Super excited because my tribe looks awesome! :dance: 2. How do you personally assess your gameplay? Where do you think your strengths lay, especially in the early premerge? In what ways do you find yourself capitalizing on those strengths to keep yourself safe? My gameplay is 100% rooted in my social maneuverability. I try to understand those I play with, and preferably, have them as allies. Even if they aren't allies, if I understand how they think, I will be able to anticipate how they will act and react to certain scenarios. So far I hope to use my social game to keep me out of harm's way, as I don't need to be in control, I just can't be the one to go. If things go well, I will naturally be in a more powerful position as people come to trust me, but I can never be seen as going for one or being in one. Perception is everything, and on day 1, I am going for the perception that I am a nice volleyball coach with a passion for education, and I am just somebody who wants to have fun and make new friends. That is all true, and that is all I need to be! :dance: 3. I personally have 0 clue how idols/advantages are obtained in this org. Do you expect it to be difficult or easy? And does the easiness of finding idols factor into your gameplay at all? Or are you used to playing without having to rely on advantages? I expect this to be difficult. My luck in life and ESPECIALLY in orgs is abysmal. This system is rooted in luck but also social prowess, so I can set myself up the best I can socially but ultimately it is a luck-based system. I am not anticipating on finding anything this season if this is the only way to find things, but more importantly, I just need to know who finds what and when. I am used to playing without advantages, and just need to know who has them in order to adapt my gameplay to them. :dance: 4. Lastly, tell me about your day! What did u do that made u feel happy about today and what're ur plans for tomorrow? My day has been good so far! I told one of my volleyball teams that I coach about this, and they said they want to be in my video confessional, so maybe that will be coming soon :eyes:. I love what I do and coach a LOT of hours, so if I am not typing in here I am likely doing that. In addition to that, the semester is winding down for school, so hopefully, soon I will have less school work and I can focus on this and on coaching. For tomorrow I play to more deeply integrate myself socially, and start to talk game with people! 

JENNET

i fear i will not click with my tribemates... im easy to get along with but idk if these people will like me

JAKE

https://youtu.be/Q3eDyTryE0g when I tell y'all I've had it....

JENNET

I feel like nobody hears me when i speak :(( i dont wanna sound like a toddler but hopefully its just my insecurities and they do enjoy me

(a little later)

Silver is kinda... hmmm kinda weird i dont like to isolate people or be mean but that’s just something i noticed. i do enjoy having somebody that’s awkward around bc it does take the edge/pressure off me being awkward

(after an afternoon of swimming)

this is such a different experience than what im used to.... nobody really messages me like at all and ive reached out but idk-

JESSICA

Well we are here on day three doing an immunity challenge. I hope we win! Today's song of the day is: HELLO by Allie X (I have listened to it 30 times this morning alone).

So far I like my tribe enough. I find people are falling into two categories: active/chatty or quieter/a little more difficult to talk to. In category one we have:

- Ethan: One of my favourite people to talk to so far, really liking him.

- Sammy: The only person I've talked any strategy with. I really like that out of the gate he was like "hey let's not waste time, let's STRATEGIZE". Since he was the one that brought that up first, I'm thinking I might go to him today (whether we win immunity or not) and see what he thinks about starting an official alliance with any of the people in category 1 (or anyone at all really)

- Daisy: Daisy seems very sweet and is easy to talk to. I really like her!

- Lovelis: Oh my gosh.... at first I was like hmmm not sure what my opinion is of this guy. But then we realized we are both from the FB Org community and now we are hitting it off! He said he cheered for me when I played Kingdoms Collide.

- Pete: Umm I don't really have a read on Pete but he does reply pretty quickly when I message him.

And then in the not so active group:

- Sam: Sam is actually here quite a bit but I've found he's a little difficult to talk to. He doesn't move conversations forward a lot. However we have been bonding over the evil that is braces/retainers so now he is opening up a bit.

- Shane: For some reason, I keep thinking he is also named Ethan? Not sure why. Shane is fine but same as Sam; not great at keeping conversations moving forward.

- Cloud: Okay I love Cloud. They are great and I really want to talk to them more! But they are also a little spotty with how much they're online. I would not want to vote them out if we lost but I also would not necessarily stop others if they wanted to.

- Madison: She is not here very much and doesn't seem to be putting in the effort when she is. Like she's left me on read already and in the span of 48 hours (or however long it's been since the game started) we have barely spoken at all and I've had to start the convo twice. I'd probably most want to vote her out if we lost.

In an ideal perfect wonderful world, we will win immunity and that gives me more time to try and subtly get some form of alliance going. I don't want to be the one to push it directly so I'm going to try and get Sammy to suggest it to people.

Usually I find I get two placements in games: I make it to merge as a non-threat and then kill it in the second half + go really far or I play too big too fast and by late pre-merge/early merge, I'm taken out. The only times I've gone into merge with a threat label and still won, I either won every single immunity (what's up, Jordan Pines!) or I had a once in a lifetime alliance. In my experience, it's way easier to play from a non-threatening position where everyone likes you.

I used to have that strategy down perfectly but it's been a few years so let's see if I still remember how the heck you win Survivor!

PETE

BYE IM GOING HOME LITERALLY I ONLY SCORED LIKE TWICE MY ASS IS FUCKING DEAD FUUUUUUUUCK

JONES

:pensive_cow: So we get on the beach and like omg I arrive like,, two hours later than everyone else but that’s all gucci idrc ab that but IN HINDSIGHT NOW feel like such an outsider on this TRIBE????????? It’s all internal I think. I haven’t done anything to make me an outsider other than be super super busy and preoccupied but I FEEL SO WEIRD :((( idk!! It might also be an age thing tho,, Bc it seems like a lot of people on my tribe are like 14-18 or smth like that I feel like the weird aunt who lives down the block!!! These kids make me SICK!!! But ya. It’s not like I have no one tho I’m just v v sad and feel rlly tuned out of everyone’s thoughts ajdkdkdkdk but uhm. 👉👈 first impressions cast assessment:

Jabari- have NOT had the chance to pm her 1 on 1 yet, but she was on call for a hot minute yesterday after the challenge was released!! She gave Lindsay some insight on the flash game which I thought was super super neat :) Jake - I definitely think on first impression he’s trying to take on a bit more of a savior leadership type position by organizing everyone for the immunity challenge and trying to make his own quirky cute flag too, but idk if we rlly like ? Need a leader rn ? I get it’s in good conscience but it’s a lil unnecessary. I do think he’s super super sweet tho and I loved his flag :) Mikey - this boy. JSJDJDKKD I think he’s TOTALLY FINE don’t get me WRONG but idk why he was like ,,, unintentionally lowkey shady??????? JAJDJFJFK LIKE when Jake’s flag came into consideration one of the first things Mikey said was smth like “well the judges might think it’s more illustration than a flag” LIKE AKSKSKSK ITS NOT A BIG DEAL ITS A FUCKING FLAG ANJSKS I think it might be,, an age thing or just him wanting his flag to be used which is FINE but it’s a reward challenge and it’s flagmaking it’s not,, the biggest deal ankskdksks I do appreciate his work ethic tho :3

Jennet - I’ve never heard bad things ab jennet so I’m RLLY EXCITED to get to meet them esp since they’re also kinda involved w fast twitter and whatnot but I feel like they kinda came in rlly hot? Like “I’m here to play this for real” I think Is what they said which isn’t totally fine but it’s also like,,, yes. Cool. Idk what it means ig hsjsjsj idk they’re v fun tho :)) definitely wanna work w them long term

Nicole - i Keep thinking Nicole is my emotional support counselor I’m so happy she’s here but I don’t wanna strictly rely on her ya feel (I don’t think I am rn Bc I think I have at least 2 solid allies anskkdkd but I don’t want to have to fall on Nicole Bc shes my friend yk)

Nash - is never rlly online :(( they messaged me yesterday and I messaged them back but they never respondedddddddddd Ik they said they napped but! Where are u I miss u

Pennino - this boy. ANDKFKDKDK he’s the kind of person that will respond to PMs w one word sentences and then go fking off in tribe chat like his life depends on it AJDKDKKDD I don’t see myself bonding w him that well tbh :( I think in the end it’s probs an age thing but he def seems nice and excited to play

Silver - at first I loved his intro,, filled me w joy,, but when I messaged him a bit later I felt like our convo was kinda stale? But THEN yesterday on call?? Chefs kiss I love silver sm. He said he wants to work w me too so BONUS??????? YES!!

Lindsay - this is it folks. This is the one. I love Lindsay sm. I haven’t had a great first impression convo w anyone like lindsay in a long long LONG ass time and I’m so. Appreciative. We both have said we wanna work w each other and I’m so so excited GOD lindsay is so incredible

But ya have to go back to work kiss me on the lipz

Luigi Falls Apart (Mario Bros Shortfic)

Luigi Falls Apart (Fan-made parody of “Daisy Falls Apart”) ~~~ [Mario and Luigi (c) Nintendo] ~~~ Luigi’s phone buzzed in his pocket. Knowing exactly who it was, he took it out and declined it. “Shtop ccalling me…..stupd dumb brother……” he said, shoving the phone back into his pocket. He was very drunk; it was hard for anyone to miss. They all wondered what Mario would be thinking if and/or when he saw his younger brother like that. The bartender toad handed Luigi another drink. “You know, he's probably worried about you.” he said to him, referring to Mario. “Ggood. Let-a *hic* him be. Imma grown man! I ccan *hic* take care of *hic* mself.” Luigi responded, just barely understandable in his drunken state. “Th’only reason that I-a know I *hic* can take care’f mself is bcause Ma*hic*rio aaalmost aaalways leaves-a me at-a home, and *hic* and-a whenevr I DO go with him, he ggets AAAAALL the attention and-a praise. Bbut then what-a does *hic* Luigi get? What kind-a award does Mari*hic*o’s brother get?” he continued, ranting. “Uh-” the bartender toad tried to answer. “HEEE GETS-A NOTHING!” Luigi yelled, somehow not able to catch the attention of the whole bar. “Poor old Weegie gets-a lEFT BEHIND AGain and *hic* noobody evr noticesss….” he continued, taking a sip of his drink. The bartender toad was about to say something, but stopped himself when he saw another sober toad outside the bar jumping up and down and waving to somebody outside. He watched as the sober toad stopped waving. He stood there for a few seconds before nodding; he was obviously talking to someone. The toad then jumped up and down some more while pointing inside the bar. When he stopped, he moved out of the way; and as soon as the bartender toad saw Mario appear in the doorway, he gestured towards Luigi before walking away to serve some other guests, letting Mario run up behind his brother. “There you are!!!” the older brother shouted. “AAH!!!!” the younger brother shouted in return, startled by the older’s sudden appearance. Mario, ignoring the fact that he nearly just gave his only sibling a heart attack, went on. “What were you-a thinking?! You scared-a me half to death!!!” he shouted. “Oh reeeeeally??” Luigi responded nonchalantly and semisarcastically. “Yes! I've-a been looking all over the kingdom for-a you!!! I almost had-a the princess start a search party for you!!” Mario replied, still shaking a little from fright over his brother going missing for a while. Luigi saw this and ignored it. “Tch…i’snot like-a yOU would caree, BIGnose.” he said, pressing his nose up against his brother’s. Mario, confused, ignored it. “What in-a powerstar’s name are-a you going on abou-” he was almost able to get the question out of his mouth. “YOU, MARIO!!” Luigi shouted, cutting him off. “YOU ANd-a AAALL your mANY VICTORies. You-a defeted BOwser, and, and-a you rESCUed Peach, and, and….and-a you-a saved Daisy….and you…a-and you rescued PEAch….and…….di-did I-a say you rescued Peach…?” Luigi asked. “Yes, Luigi. Three times.” Mario replied, unamused. “YEah, gguess what? Last time we both saved-a the prINCess, NObody, nnot evn Peach hersELf, so mmuch as-a even LOOKed at me!! I-a eeven waved at-a you and yOu didn't evn notice mee!!!” Luigi said, adding on to his previous statement. “I-a ALways ffeel so-a lonely, and i’s becus nobody seems-a to ccAre abou’ me.” he continued, looking away from Mario with a sad expression on his face. Mario was surprised at this. “Weegie….how-a come you never told-a me? I-a surely would've done something!” Mario asked, pure concern in his eyes. When Luigi didn't respond, Mario started to feel his big brother senses come on. “Weegie?” he asked. “Answer me, bro, please.” he continued. There was a pause before Luigi finally responded. “I-a didn't want to be a burden to you…” the green brother said quietly. This shocked Mario beyond belief. He had absolutely no idea what to say or do; he could only hang his head as a wave of guilt passed through him. He didn't feel like he'd been a good brother at all. Well, now was the time to redeem himself. “Bro….do-a you want to know the truth?” he asked Luigi, placing a hand on his back. Luigi nodded. Mario sighed before speaking. “…I worry about you a lot, bro.” he said. Luigi looked up at him with saddish eyes. “You-a do?” he asked. “Yeah.” Mario replied. “….Why?” Luigi asked, still giving his brother the same look. “Because of-a how you are.” Mario replied almost immediately. “You-a get paranoid so easily, and-a that allows you to get scared of just about everything. It-a makes me afraid to leave you alone for too long, especially when I'm-a out saving Peach.” he continued. Luigi squinted at him with a serious expression. “Go on.” he said. Mario was a little weirded out by this, but he kept going nonetheless. “Well…..” he started, rubbing his neck. “….sometimes when I'm-a out saving Peach, I…I-a have scary thoughts about you that-a cross my mind that-a make me want to turn around and-a run back home.” he continued, now nervous. “Really? Like-a what?” Luigi asked. Mario turned his head, his eyes seemingly shadowed by the brim of his red cap. “I-a don't wanna talk about it…” he said in a slight whisper. “That's-a fine…” Luigi responded, not wanting to make the mood anymore gloomy. “I-a do care about you, little bro. Nothing in the world can change that.” Mario spoke again out of the blue. “And-a so does Yoshi! He's always asking me where you are when-a he sees me! And-a Toad likes to see you, too! And so does Peach!” he continued. A small smile spread across Luigi’s face as Mario named off their friends. “And Daisy is-a your girlfriend, of course!” Mario added. Luigi’s whole body tensed up and his eyes widened in surprise and shock at the mention Daisy’s name. However, Mario didn't notice this. “See, Luigi? We-a do care about you!” Mario concluded cheerfully. But when he saw Luigi down the last of his drink with one swig, his smile faded. “Stop-a that.” he said, snatching the glass of now ice from Luigi's hand. Luigi put his pointer finger up and opened his mouth to say something, but it closed and his finger drooped as his face turned as green as his outfit. “Um, bro? You okay?” Mario asked, once again filled with concern. “I-a don't feel well….” Luigi replied shakily, holding his stomach. As he bent over his legs, he felt Mario start to rub his back. That didn't last long, though; Mario retracted his hand as fast as lightning when his brother puked all over himself. “Doesn't surprise me.” the bartender toad appeared in front of them and handed Mario a napkin to give to Luigi. “Don't worry about cleaning up. I've been doin’ it for a long time.” he continued. After saying thank you to the bartender, Mario gave the napkin to his brother, who raised his head up a little after using it to wipe his face. “…uuuuugh….” he moaned. Mario rubbed his head with a small smile. “You okay, little bro?” he asked, attempting to cheer him up. Once again, the unexpected occurred. Luigi began to cry. First, it was quiet. Then it got louder. “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” the younger brother wailed before burying his face into his hands. “Mama mia!! C-Calm down, Weegie!” Mario said, startled. “What's-a the matter?” he continued. “These were my-a last pair of clean overaaaaalls!!” Luigi cried. “Well, mine-a need to be washed anyways, so we can-a both-a change into something else at home, huh?” Mario told him. “That's not the only reason!” Luigi exclaimed, looking up at his brother with a tear-soaked face. “What's the other reason?” Mario asked curiously. Luigi cried a bit more before answering. “DAISY DUMPED MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!” he shouted. “SHE WHAT?!?!” Mario shouted in return. “Yeah!” Luigi responded. “She-a dumped me for PEASLEY!!!” he continued. “Mama mia!! That's-a terrible! Why Peasley of all people?” Mario asked. “It's-a because she said that-a he was more mature than me!” Luigi exclaimed. “More?! If anything, Peasley is-a LESS mature than you!” Mario said, now mad. “I knoooow!!” Luigi agreed through his tears. Finally, Mario reached over and wrapped his now sobbing brother in the biggest, most loving hug he could muster. As Luigi sobbed quietly into his shoulder, he rubbed his back soothingly. “Shhh…” he whispered. “Don't cry anymore, Weegie. I promise, I'll-a do whatever it takes to help-a you win Daisy back.” he continued. “Y-You will??” Luigi asked with a sniffle. “Of-a course. Anything for my little brother.” Mario replied, smiling. Luigi felt another smile cross his face as well. “Thank yoouu….” he said, returning the hug. Mario replied by softly humming to soothe him more. After about a minute, Mario stopped the hug and held his brother in front of him. “Now then, let’s-a go home and-a change, eh? Then we can play some Mario Kart 8!!” he said, wiping Luigi's tears away. Luigi chuckled. “I'd-a like that a lot.” Luigi replied, finally giving off a big smile. Of course, Mario was happy to see it. The two bros climbed down from their stools and were about to leave when they heard a voice from behind. “Ahem.” it said. When the bros turned around, they noticed the bartender toad waving a hand as if he wanted something. “Ya gotta pay, Luigi.” he said. “I'll-a pay for him. How much?” Mario asked, pulling out his wallet. “Fifty coins.” the bartender replied. “FIFTY?!??!!?!” Mario exclaimed. “How many drinks did-a he have?!” he asked. “Ten. And they're five coins each.” the bartender replied. Mario's lower right eyelid twitched once before he turned around to look at Luigi, who gave him a small nervous laugh. Mario couldn't be mad at him long though; he'd been through a lot. “Alrighty, here you go.” Mario sighed, giving the bartender 50 of his gold coins. “Thank you. You boys have a nice day.” the bartender said with a smile. “You too.” Mario said as he and his bro left. “ Don't-a EVER get that many drinks again.” he semiwhispered into Luigi's ear as he pulled him down by the arm. “Don't worry big bro, I-a don't plan on it.” Luigi replied, loosening himself from his brother's grip. And with that, the Mario Brothers made their way home. They changed clothes, and played Mario Kart 8 until the day’s end. The End
