#I HATE ELIMINATIONS BYE

[mingoosgf]

They really eliminated Chanelle... I can’t imagine fumbling the bag SO BADLY LMAO

[ellena-asg]

Can we talk about Jack and his opponents and about him treating James in a special (and very gentle) way? 🥹

Jack, to Barbossa: The worst friend ever! You're not my friend anymore! You left me to die on that island! You always steal my Pearl! You are such a scumbag! And you threatened my new friends! *pulls a pistol* DIE *bang! bang!*

Jack, to Davy Jones: Hey you, you fish face. You say Pearl isn't mine? You say Kraken will eat me? You wanna fight? Let's fight! You are annoying. I can kill you... You hurt my Willy, you hurt my bestie?!?! I WILL KILL YOU!!! *stabs Jones' heart* Bye bye, fish.

Jack, to Beckett: You bloody tea drinker. You parody of human. You greedy poodle. You cursed enslaver. You heartless creature. Arrgh! I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. *mocks Beckett* *makes fun of him* Prepare to die. *Will as a captain of the Dutchman pops up* And you will die, Beckett. Come on, Will! Come on, bro! Let's eliminate that rascal! *Beckett is dead*

Jack, to James: Ayy, commodore Norrington, good day! 😁 Yeah, I know. You chase me and I run and we shouldn't like each other. But deep down you're a fine man, I can see. You're such a sad man, commodore and it's so sad 🥺 Can I make you smile? Oh, fight? No, no, no. No fight. Why fight? Let's talk. Let's flirt 😏 Let's entertain each other. Personal space? Ooo, I don't know her. Can I tell you something? I'M ROOTING FOR YOU 😍😍😍 Huh, you are now a pirate and still wanna fight? Oh, okay. *sword fight* You know we don't wanna kill each other, huh? *sword fight* But seriously, I can't kill you. I just need... *sword fight* Okay, I have an idea... *does something silly to have a chance to leave* See you later! And remember: I'M STILL ROOTING FOR YOU 😍😍😍

FILM THEORY: DEATH RETURNS TO INANIMATE INSANITY!! BUT IT'S NOT TACO OR LIGHTBULB!!

Warning, spoilers and possibly cringey or bad writing, but it's 1am for me so eh

(First off, shout-out to my mom for coming up with this idea for me to make a theory on- You're the best :3)

(Second, thumbnail by me :])

(Thirdly, I might rewrite this during the day at some point because I'm really tired, but had to get this out before I slept bcs I'd forget to otherwise)

(Fourthly, I know that this isn't a completely original idea, and people have done it already, but I wanted an excuse to make a theory and there's evidence, so I thought "why not?" It'll make people upset with me if I'm right, and I get to pretend to be Film Theory for a bit. It's a win-win!)

(You are legally required to read this post as MatPat's voice /silly /j)

————————

With the horrifying tweet that Brian made last Saturday, there's a lot of people (including you, probably) worried about who will die in the finale, the harsh battle between whether we say "bye" to a bright light, or "so long" to our sour cream schemer. My answer? Neither!! Object show community, inanimate fandom... whatever we call ourselves! I'm about to present to you why our beloved (and somewhat recently hated) host is going to be the death of the season.

————————

First of all, the trailer (and @inanimateinsanityfan 's recent tumblr post "invitation") has somewhat implied that the focus of the movie, the A-Plot at least, will be around Cobs attempting to get to MePhone4 somehow, whether it be luring him up to Meeple Headquarters or trying to get down to him. We've seen from previous episodes that Cobs wants him dead, but it's hard to tell if he's changed his motive, since we haven't seen him since Episode 13 "Mine Your Own Business". However, he has been consistently sending his newer MePhones to eliminate MePhone4, as 5C clearly states in Episode 6. The newer models have features like tracking (much like MePad) and knife hands (NOT like MePad), which MePhone4 doesn't have, which should in theory have made him easier to kill.

Speaking of the abilities, the MeLife function is only ever used by MePhone4, or at least we only ever get to see him do it. Why? Well, I have an idea but that's a theory for another time. The point is; MePhone4 seems to be the only Meeple product with the ability to bring people to life, and has all of the contestants on there as far as we know. This means that, unless there's a creative solution to perma-kill one of the contestants, MePhone4 needs to die first for any perma-death to occur in the first place.

And hell, removing the regeneration ability as a whole would be a great way to cap off the season, to establish that there's no more retrying and that everything is now set in stone. And even if we do get that damn FOURTH season (bonus points to whoever gets the reference), it'll at least spice things up with having, say, MePad as a host instead, leaving the spot open for someone else to claim and have an interesting story arc of their own.

This shot already pulls up a parallel between MePhone4 and MePhone3GS, and though 3GS isn't really confirmed dead, they're definitely not gonna be alive any time soon. The parallels could imply that MePhone4 is destined to a fate similar to 3GS; no longer in service, probably broken, and maybe even killed of by Cobs himself.

In addition to this, all of the other MePhones we've seen have all died; MePhone4 technically died with 4S and 5 in the Season 1 finale "Journey Through Memory Lane", 5S and 5C were introduced and immediately killed in Season 2 Episode 6 "Let 'Er RIP", and MePhones 6 and 6+ were also immediately killed upon introduction in Season 2 Episode 8 "Theft and Battery". The MePhones all have something in common, and that is unavoidable and quick death, much like real iphones honestly.

Does this mean that MePhone4 will have to die as a result of MePhone's faulty creation? No, but there is a pre-established pattern with each of the MePhones that goes as a cycle, perpetuating Cobs' cruel style of doing things; he creates something, claims it's his favorite for a year, then makes something a little better and throws the pre-established bond away to die, and rinse and repeat.

But hey! That's just a theory!

An Object Theory!!

Uh- what's the opposite of "greetings and salutations"-?

"Goodbye and see-you-laters!!"

Lessons 2/2 (Carl Grimes x Reader)

Carl has been avoiding you since that fateful night. So you decide to take things into your own hands and confront him.

WARNING: Penetration, tit-sucking, a lil angst?

Since everyone's been requesting a part 2, i made one. it might not be as good as the first one but i got inspired and motivated to write sooooo… i hope yall like it anyway

………………………………………………………………………

Ever since Carl visited you late at night for some "advice", he hasn't been talking to you or going near you at all. Every time he saw you, he'd walk the other way. Straight up avoiding you. You thought maybe he needed some time to come to terms with what happened but you were starting to miss him. Maybe a week is enough for him to start talking to you again. But then a week became two weeks and you were getting sick of him ignoring you.

Why was he ignoring you? Because every time he thought of that night, his head would ache from the sheer embarrassment. He couldn't look at you the same. So his way to cope with that was to pretend you didn't exist.

You decided to take things into your own hands and talk to him. Carl was crouched down, picking at some carrots with a hoe. You walked up slowly behind him and tapped his shoulder. He nearly threw the hoe at you as he flinched. Most likely he thought you were a walker. When he saw how close you were, he immediately started blushing and getting anxious.

"Hi, Carl! Do you need hel-" you were about to offer but he quickly got up and started fumbling his words.

"I-I need to go! My.. My dad needs me…" he put the hoe down and started speed-walking to his house. Where he stayed for the majority of the day. You were baffled. You don't know what you were expecting. A hug? An apology? A joke? But instead, he did as he always does. Ran away from you. You picked up the rusty hoe that he nervously dropped and put it back in the farming shed. He left so quickly, he didn't even put it away. And the carrots weren't even picked.

Your heart sank to your stomach at his reaction as it played through your head. Sitting on your patio, you thought about how you'd confront him again. Abrupting the peace in his house sounded like a good idea. Just walking up in there and forcing him to talk to you. And as much as you hated the image, you were curious about how he did with Enid. And if what you taught him stuck.

Knocking against the wood of Rick's home, you stood. Nervously twiddling with your thumbs as Carl did when he was visiting yours. You tried to stand up confidently as the door slowly creaked open. "Hey Y/N, what do you need?" he stood tall against the door frame.

"Umm, Is Carl awake?"

"Yeah, he's been in his room for a while. What do you need with Carl?" he wondered as he gestured for you to come in. As you walked in, you focused your eyes on the stairs that led to Carl's room. Rick closed the door behind you.

"I need to talk to him about umm… farming?"

"Farming?" He rose an eyebrow.

"Yeah… I just wanna yell at him for not putting the tools away. Haha…" You forced a smile.

"Ohhh. Yeahhhhh sure…" he squinted his eyes. "You can go up to his room," he opened the door and walked out. "I'm going out for watch duty. Make sure Carl cleans those guns."

"Yeah of course, bye Rick," you closed the door behind him as you said your goodbyes. You took off your boots and started taking small steps up the stairs. Upstairs, you saw two doors. You put your ear against one of the doors and heard the small snores. Feminine snores. So you assumed it was Michonne. Using the tool of elimination, you slowly turned the steel doorknob. You opened the door slightly and saw a human-shaped lump under the blankets of the bed.

"Carl…?" the moment you spoke, the covers flinched. Carl was wide awake. "I'm coming in," Carl hid his red face under the covers. Exploring the sights of Carl's room, you made your way to the edge of the bed. The bed sank as you put your weight on it. Your socks gliding against the carpet. "Carl… do you… hate me now?" you felt your eyes start to water as you thought about Carl only looking at you with hatred in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Carl…" you apologised, raising your sleeve against your eyelids. The fabric became darker while it soaked your tears. "I'm sorry… so please don't hate me."

The bed shuffled while Carl sat up, looking at the back of your hair. "I… could never hate you," his words made your heartbeat. "Are you sure?" Carl's eyes widened. You turned your head to face him. He stared at your weeping face and turned pink. He nodded. "Are you… starting to dislike me then?" he wondered as to why you would ask him such a question.

"Why would I ever hate you?" you put your hand against the soft firm mattress. Carl averted his eyes to face the window placed next to his bed.

"…Because of what happened… that night," once he started talking, he felt that he could tell you everything. Like he did before. "Ever since… we did that," he gripped his covers. "I can't stop looking at you… and picturing you on top of me… doing things to me," you knew exactly what he was implying. "And it just.. feels so wrong," biting his lip.

He didn't realize how you were crawling closer to him while he looking out the window and into the farm where he excused himself to get away from you. "What's so wrong…" you were now inches from his face, your breath tickling his lips. "About that?" your lips touched as you intertwined your fingers with his. Carl instinctively put his hands on your shoulders as you climbed your way to sit on his lap, lips never losing contact. The softness and mint taste of his tongue soothed yours when you slipped it beyond his lips. Getting lost in the kiss, he placed his hands on his waist. You smirked against his lips, feeling his dick grow beneath you. He was kissing you the exact way you taught him which turned you on even more that you started to slowly grind your hips against his.

You let go of his lips, not being able to control your whimpers anymore. "You're a fast learner, aren't you Carl?" you kissed his cheek before trailing your lips to his neck.

"I had a good teacher," you hovered above him moderately, tugging his sweats down as well as yours. "Lift your arms for me," he rose the ends of your shirt. You did as he asked and he brought the shirt over your head and threw it at the floor. He pushed you closer to him, his hands exploring the strap of your bra and flawlessly unhooked your bra. The familiar sight of your breasts comforted him. You continued grinding while he felt the dampness of your panties.

"I missed you so much," he whispered into your ear, nibbling on your earlobe. It sent electricity through your body. You both exchanged moans into each other's ears, the tickle of each other's breath made you both giggle. Carl messaged your boobs, placing kisses over your cleavage.

You ran your fingers through his hair, bringing him close to your chest. He brought his tongue slowly from your cleavage to your nipple. His spit made your nipples stand up inside your mouth while he left small nibbles. "Hah… Carl, I wonder where you learned all that," you joked playfully as he chuckled with your stud in his mouth. You knelt up as he continued so you could remove your panties. "I want you to put it in… I want to touch you more," your fingers brushed against his boxers and pushed them down so his cock was out.

"I won't… cum inside you this time," he assured. He grabbed the base of his cock and straightened it against your clit, pushing it down til it poked your hole.

"Go ahead if you want… mm- want to," you whimpered when he pushed his cock in you. You sat your ass down on his hips.

You put a small finger against his lips when he let out a loud groan. "Sssh… Michonne is asleep, we don't wanna wake her up," your only option to make him quiet was to occupy his lips with yours so you did so. The feeling of his warm hard cock in your walls was something you yearned for.

"Every time you think of me like that…" you huffed. "Just come get me," you whimpered. Carl smirked.

"That's gonna be like every day," he chuckled, his dick hitting your cervix which caused a yelp to slip out your mouth. He put his palm over your mouth. "You're the one who has to be quiet," he cooed watching your eyebrows furrowed and your mouth gape open, letting out breaths. He licked the tears that were starting to stream out your face when he fastened his pace.

His cock was so warm inside you that you couldn't help but bounce on his pelvis. "Carl… I'm so close," you wrapped your arms around his neck, your boobs rubbing against his chest. "Let's do it together, okay?" you smiled, kissing his cheek.

He couldn't let out any words, fastening then slowing his pace when he feels his mind start to turn. "Hah… you feel so good," you arched your back with your chest out and head back. Carl slithered his arms against your back and pushed you close to him and he let out his final thrusts, shoving his way through his high.

Your head felt dizzy while you rode out your orgasm. Limbs feeling weak and hair messy, you rested yourself on top of Carl. Letting your body heat comfort one another.

"I want to embrace you like this forever," Carl breathed as he laid back down, rubbing your back. Your chest rose and sank, catching your breath and turning to sleep at his side. Placing your hand on the back of his head, you pulled him close so his head was resting on your breasts.

"Then I'll keep you this close for as long as you want," you kissed the top of his head as you both doze off. Forgetting to unlock the door in case someone decided to enter the room.

@heymacy, @heymrspatel, and @pookiebearmick this week--thank you all so much!!

My excuse for being late because I know you're all so worried is I was at my favorite place (prison) and did not have electronics access.

Anyway

Name: Keely

Age: 29

Location: Utah 🏔️

What is your DJ name? Okay my cute little husband actually has the cutest little DJ name and I can't think of a single clever thing

If you were a genre of music, what would it be? In my heart of hearts I know I'm bubblegum pom but also I loved that Julissa included a daylist screenshot so here are two of mine

What would you title your biography? I had a blog back in the day called "Keely's Feelings" and I'd probably reuse that

What are the first three things you'd do if you were invisible? Okay so first of all I would panic?? And then I would probably desperately try to get people to notice me (I'd try writing, for example). And then finally I would not wear a bra

What subject do you wish was taught in every school? Okay I was just talking to some older coworkers about equity?? What the fuck is equity? Why do I need to buy a townhome?

When was the last time you tried something for the first time and what was it? Ummmm I applied for my first ever promotion last night--does that count? (Send me good vibes please ✨)

What is the most underrated city you have ever visited? Oh gee I dunno. The only thing coming to mind is Belize City because Belize is so tiny? Do people like Belize?

What day in your life would you like to relive? I would like to reDO my wedding day because exmormon religious things...Relive? 🤨🤷🏼‍♀️

If you could eliminate one thing from your daily routine, what would it be and why? Cooking bye I hate it

How long would you last in a zombie apocalypse? Okay I don't understand why all these people in media have such an intense will to live? If there's an apocalypse (zombie or other), count me out. (Not that I don't want to live in general but like...ya know?)

What would be the most surprising scientific discovery imaginable? Um first thought is intelligent extraterrestrial life. As an alien truther I don't know if it'd be the most surprising, per se, but I do think it would be pretty significant

If you could have any view out your office window, what would you choose? God please just give me a window! Um I'd love a little forest or an ocean or a nice lake or a whole bunch of pretty flowers 🥰

I am skipping tags this week because I am late BUT--if you have not done this yet and you would like to, please consider yourself tagged :)

AGGGTM TV SHOW SPOILERS AHEAD!

um hi. I just watched agggtm the tv series and I have a bone to pick with everything.

THis is ur warning if u havent watched the show Bye.

Don't get me wrong, ive read the books and i LOVED them but this tv show did not do them justice, it changed sooooo many details that didnt need to be changed and left out a lot of stuff, leaving them with no set up for season 2. Good Girl Bad Blood. I will now rant.

Ravi - No hate to the actor that played Ravi but he sucked. The line delivery on so many things was severly lacking. They also made him miss out on an iconic line "Real men wear floral when trespassing". In the show they made it so Ravi didn't rlly help Pip at all. He was simply there for Pip to tell her theories and information to.

Stanley - Stanley was just non-existent. he just wasnt there. This leaves no set up for season two. Bad choice on behalf of someone

Becca Bell - It may have just been me who thought of Becca as this frail 20 year old who was still grieving. But that wasn't represented in the show. They made Becca straight up find Pip and get angry at her instead of Pip just finding her in a cafe or whatever and asking her a few simple questions.

Ant - Ant was there, but not a part of Pip's friend group, he was just known as this dude that asked Lauren out.

Howie Bowers - First of all, his last name wasnt mentioned in tv show i dont think and it came off as this terrifying dude with a scar, when in the books he was just a drunk dude that was tryna sell drugs and didnt want to get called out by a bunch of teenagers. We never saw his house, Pip never tracked him down, he just happened to be at the Calamity party.

Da silvas - They made him more of a character than he needed to be. It was annoying. Also he did this weird nose grabbing thing eww. They also made Nat da Silva one of Andie's best friends instead of it being Chloe and Emma, it was Nat and Emma.

The cave - This cave shouldn't have existed. The calamity party that Pip was supposed to go to the track down the drug dealer, was in a cave. She didn't pretend to smoke with a guy on a garden wall, she simply asked where he was and he took her to Howie.

THIS NEEDED ITS OWN SECTION

This stupid cave was also where Andie was hidden, it was like a well or something in the cave that Becca dragged Andie into instead of the Farm house

The Farm house - Like Stanley the farmhouse didn't exist. IT WAS A KEY PLOT POINT IN THE FIRST BOOK AND ALSO IS IN THE SECOND YET THEY SAID NOPE AND DIDNT HAVE IT. ajdkbqoEUFBWROGUW

Isla - In the books Isla was this mentally unstable girl Elliot found on the side of the road that he believed was Andie, Isla being unstable then believed she was Andie. Elliot then hid her away in his attic and looked after her. When Pip finds her the girl introduces herself as Andie, Pip then realises it's not. In the stupid TV show, Isla is a poor girl living at a bus stop that Elliot thinks is Andie but quickly realises is not but offers her a place to stay for the night because of her condition, the next morning he confesses to the murder of Sal to her, which he then traps her in the attic. When Pip finds her she says, "I'm not Andie" UGH, it removed that whole plot point.

Barney - Now i was prepared to ball my eyes out at Barney dieing, (I warned u abt spoilers). A few things were different. First Barney was lost at Josh's bday party, not on a walk like in the book. Secondly (spoiler for book three) Barney wasn't drowned. He was discovered dead on the side of the road after being hit by a car which I can't see how they could make that Jason killing him on purpose.

Jason - They didn't make this man more of a suspect. They needed to make him suspisious to set up for a possible season 3. They made Dan da silva a suspect.

Pip showing up at ppls houses - The main way pip interviews ppl is by showing up at their houses, the show eliminated a bunch of these interactions. Pip met Ravi when on a walk with muffins, not his house, Pip met Max while waitressing for a party, (yes at his house but didn't show up on his door step like in the book) Nat da Silva, Pip interviewed her in the locker room after a tennis match when she was half naked.

There are propably so many more big things wrong with this show. It needed more of a budget, they ended up using some of the same shots, like Pip driving the same road, and Young pip. It was very annoying. I had such high hopes for this show to stay close to it's source material becasue Holly was so involved in the filming process, she even has a mini cameo in the hotel episode (look for the guest in a robe). But i was very disappointed so many things were changed. They even missed the whole renactment of murder to prove Sal's innocence. They just left out so much and it's very annoying.

THOUGHTS?

[umbreoncomplex]

I *hate* that Apollo wasn’t able to really use his ability at all in both aa5 and aa6 😭 cus like, 1. It makes both of the prosecutors just assholes (especially Blackquill cus what do you *mean* it’s cheating but Athena’s isn’t???) I think a good way for them to combat it was just have Apollo and Athena deal with different types of lies, so they both get to use their abilities but *no* they have to completely take it away 😅

Sorry that’s just one part that especially frustrated me. Especially cus I really liked using perceive and it just doesn’t work as well outside of the courtroom.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD WITH ATHENA AND APOLLO ALWAYS GOT ME. i can understand blackquill being biased but idk. it just wasnt fun. i love perceive, the mechanic is simple but its got such a good atmosphere to it, i can never get sick of it. it's also very fun narratively having that ability to pick apart someones mannerisms and catch them in a lie. perceiving isn't evidence sure but its a good way to push you in the right direction and is a good way of acknowledging how you must also take a persons behavior into account beyond just the cold hard facts. having to work around different types of lies or various tricks wouldve been great. but no. they just delete the mechanic. buh bye! and its so frustrating. id love to see how the game designers and writers could work out tricks of wordplay or characters who try hiding their ticks, etc etc etc. eliminating the mechanic feels lazy

[lotus-corner]

Bye, Bye, Gaty

Lee!Two, Ler!Four, and Ler!X

Two was crying on the pink couch they would normally sit with their friend. Their friend was eliminated. They felt empty without Gaty. Four and X noticed this.

"Hey, aren't you suppose to do the challange?" Four asked.

Two sniffled and faced him and X.

"Yeah, I told them to bake cakes for me," Two sighed.

"What's wrong, Two?" X asked.

"Gaty got elimated...I put her away..." Two explained, "I miss her dearly."

"Is there anything we can do to make you feel better?" X questioned.

"You know, there's always something," Four teased with hands in a tickling motion.

"I suppose that might help," Two added, "I have nothing to lose."

"Are you sure, you giggly prime?" Four continued to tease.

"Sure," Two attempted to smile.

"All right, sit back and relax," X gleaned.

"How are they going to relax from their laughter?" Four asked.

"I am just trying to nice. They need some comfort," X replied.

"Then tickle Two then," Four stated.

"Okay," X added.

X started with Two's tummy since he remembered they were most ticklish there. Two giggled but not as much as previously.

"You aren't tickling rough enough, X," Four suggested, "This is how I'd do it."

Four tickled Two's feet while X was still tickling their tummy. Two's giggled echoed the grasslands. Four checked up on X.

"You might want to move to another spot, X," Four suggested.

"Oh, like here," X guessed.

They began to tickle Two's armpits. Two giggled even more. Four also tickled Two's knees. After a few minutes, Four and X whispered to each other. Two was baffled. They began to poked at Two's sides. They had the brightest and longest smile for a long time.

"What about we count their ribs?" Four asked X.

"Like pretend?" X asked.

"Yeah, like you count their ribs, and I will count their fingers," Four smiled.

"Of course," X smiled.

"But I hate math. That isn't that funny," Two mentioned.

"Your wishes are respected," Four assured, "But there is one more thing I have for you, silly."

"What?" Two asked.

Four then quickly spidered Two's tummy. Their laughter was so loud, Death Pact Again heard it on their way back.

"We made you a cake!" Marker smiled.

"Are they in pain?" Black Hole wondered.

"No, it’s laughter. Not crying," Tree explained.

"So did we win?" Fanny asked.

"I think we are finished," Four added, "You have to eat Death Pact Again's cake."

"All right, that is fine. Thank you very much, Four and X," Two smiled.

They then tired Death Pact Again's cake and confirmed they were safe. Four and X walked away. Fanny was confused.

"Why were Four and X tickling you?" Fanny asked.

"I miss Gaty and needed some cheering up," Two explained.

"Understandable, hang in there, okay," Fanny encouraged.

"Thank you, Fanny," Two smiled.

[annieqattheperipheral]

Kyle. Hi. Wow. Ok. I'm sad. Wow gonna miss u hard.

Ok so the Brendan Shanahan media availability just ended. Wow, he revealed a fair bit and didn't hide that letting Kyle go was his decision and revealed when he changed his mind from fully working on extending his contract, to ok thank you but bye.

The timeline:

Off-season 2022: shanny tells dubas they're going to wait and see how the 22-23 season goes and then decide on whether or not to extend him. Kyle all cool beans super profesh

Season: goes well normal ups n downs. Owners & board & shanny are happy

Trade deadline 2023: shanny is very pleased and now there's not much else for GMs to do rn so tells dubas we want to extend you. Kyle all cool beans i want that too here's my agent's deets y'all figure it out keep me out of it while i focus on the end of season & playoffs

Friday May 12: Leafs nation crashes and burns out of the playoffs in round 2

Saturday day off

Sunday they all come in for team pictures and shanny & dubas chat and he tells dubas you did well this doesn't change anything we still want to extend you. also everyone will be talking to media tmr you don't have to i won't be. Kyle all cool beans but I'm gonna bc the players & coach have to and i should support them

Monday May 15 - Kyle Dubas speaks to media -> he did not confirm yes/no on whether he wanted to stay as GM, answers with this season was v hard on my family and i have to speak w them before i answer in any way at all

Shanny's brain goes all WTF. Yes we've talked extensively at every conversation about how hard this season has been on your family. But like did not expect that response to the media. So then shanny's all driving home that night thinking ok i have to think about the possibility of next season having a different GM

Tuesday - they don't chat

Wednesday - shanny goes to see dubas. They talk about his Monday media availability cuz shanny got questions cuz like wtf. They talk about pressure on family in this industry both as player and management. Kyle says his agent will contact him tmr and shanny all uhh ok but I'm like still so confused girl

Thursday - dubas agent sends shanny a new contract w different financial package expectations. Kyle emails shanny that night i wanna be ur GM boo🫶 but shanny already got the ick factor going and is so not into it anymore

Friday May 19/today - shanny drove to dubas office at ford performance centre and told him we will not be extending ur contract 😭😭😭

Brendan Shanahan speaks to media

If you've got the urge and u really love kyle highly encourage you watch/listen to both of their press conferences. Shanahan speaks highly of Dubas keeps it profesh there is none of the bad blood we heard about

Kyle is so awesome, open, emotional and possibly its the last time we'll hear from him for awhile since he's no longer with MLSE nor any other org. He said in his media that if he were to not be GM with leafs, in no way would we be seeing him signing with another team like next week. His answer didn't have anything to do w having other job offers.

My overall conclusion:

shanny no longer saw the 100% passion and want for the job anymore from dubas during his Monday press conference. And it's ok if that is how kyle is feeling bc he clearly needs to focus on family for a bit now after just a rollicking season & stressful as shit playoffs. Yes Kyle was in a vulnerable state so soon after playoffs elimination and probably shouldn't have been judged for his contract extension based off of that. But workplaces and jobs are like relationships where if the want to work isn't fully there anymore it is going to turn off your coworkers and boss, and his lack of confirmation of wanting to be GM to the press really drove home that he was still on the fence and iffy about going all in on the job despite the horrible 2nd round loss.

Wherever you go kyle, I'm following you, even if you go to one of my hated teams bc i know you'll fix the org & locker room culture like you did at the leafs💙💙💙

Things I'm emotional about in 1x04:

This line from Kirigan: "When I was a boy After I created the Fold I used to run away and hide here. Once I realised I was a descendant of the most hated Grisha in Ravka...I'd come here, throw a coin, make a wish in the fountain. Same wish, over and over again. That I could be anyone else."

90% of this is? Most likely true. He's not even lying, he's just changed a few details.

2. Alina asking him, "Was I properly schooled?" after she recounts the story of the Black Heretic. She doesn't know that's him, but she believes they're family, and she's giving him an opportunity to set the story straight if she's mistaken, tell her his family's side. And he actually responds to this! Sort of, because centuries of trust issues are like. A Thing, and he's learned the hard way that trusting anyone is usually a Very Bad Idea. But he tells her that he's been trying to bring down the Fold and put things right all his life since then, and opens up a little, and looks surprised at himself that he did.

3. "Nina Zenik...hasn't reported in. If she's alive, she may need our help."

A whole army under his command, and he sends one of his own personal bodyguards after her. I love a man who doesn't leave his agents in the shit, even if it's only because they're useful. It would have been so easy for him to dismiss her as compromised and send someone to eliminate her before she's able to give up any information to Fjerda - but he sends Fedyor to help her instead. Fuck me up.

4. Genya trying so hard to flirt with poor awkward David. This man is a massive autistic mood. The woman who never compliments anyone gives him like three compliments in a row and he's just like yep okay thank you bye

5. The sheer amount of trust between Inej and Jesper for her to let him shoot a playing card out of her mouth. For a girl with such a traumatic backstory full of so much loss and pain, that she's able to trust anyone that much makes me feel things.

[oscconfessions]

i am starting to mildly hate pin. and i'm not even a hater. i genuinely truly hate one character and that's because of kin reasons. but pin? every time i see her i feel dissapointed. and i used to really like her but i just dislike the directions theyve taken her character. i can't even say "at least she's good in tpot!" or "at least she's good in new bfdia!" cause she's just not for me.

like they put her through this whole "her arms were cut off, her legs were cut off, her ears were cut off, her tongue was cut off," type shit in new bfdia and then she started communicating with coiny like "wait for the planets to align on the day where the moon is fullest and brightest, find the great stone in the forest where the creatures lie still, light eighteen candles in a circle around it, bring an object sacrifice dead by nightshade poisoning and chant 'RETURN TO US O SHARP ONE' in latin seventy four times and i will be restored to my former glory" and then it FAILS and they proceed to like. BRING HER BACK IMMEDIATELY ANYWAY LIKE WHAT WAS ALL THAT FOR

i think she's better in tpot but still like i do not care about whatever she does. i only can bring myself to LOOK at her because she is now on the same team as my sweet prince known as marker (that just gave away who i am anyways moving on). shes kinda gotten better as of the more recent episodes now that shes trying to take on more leadership roles again post-coiny elimination but i cannot forgive what they did to her in the earlier episodes of the season. it couldve been good if theyd had some emotional moments and elaborated on her change of heart from the last seasons, but it all feels so...poorly executed. i think if theyd focused on WHY pin's views on cheating had become so drastic then it couldve been really realistic, but it was just a conflict that went nowhere.

dont get me wrong i quite like bfdi, old bfdia, and bfb pin. i honestly still like her for some parts of new bfdia and tpot. maybe this is half because she put book and ruby ufe. maybe it isn't. maybe my opinion on her has been slowly declining for a long time.

also, this entire rant is /lh and /hsrs. as stated before i'm not a hater at all. if i had to put her on a tier list she'd be in neutral. i don't actually really dislike her, i dislike what's being done to her. please don't hate me it'll make me feel really sad this is all my opinion and you are allowed to like pin as much as you want in fact i feel really sorry for saying mean things about her so im probably gonna go draw her now as an apology bye

[real-total-drama-takes]

ok, so I haven't read despair island, BUT this is my take on how it would go if contestants' lives were on the line. This is going to be a long post, so bear with me.

First off, contestants would take more risks. They can't afford to lose challenges. They would try to kiss up to their teams more. They would be a lot nicer in hopes that their teams would keep them out of friendship.

Not So Happy Campers. Ezekiel still would've been booted first. He's weak, not too smart, and definitely unlikable. BUT ALSO, Courtney and Beth both would not have hesitated to jump off the cliff. DJ might have still not, but Courtney and Beth would rather take the risk. Especially considering everyone else made it and they would have to face the wrath of their teammates.

The Big Sleep. Eva would not have been booted second. Everyone would have thought twice- Eva is a strong competitor, even though rude. She may not be a team player but she doubles the team's strength. Instead, I believe Katie would be voted. She's pretty dumb and weak, not close enough to the other players, and Sadie is likely stronger than her.

Dodgebrawl. Noah may have not been voted third. And when it comes down to life, he might have participated in at least one game of dodgeball. He's not strong, but he is smart. Instead, I think (and I hate to say this) Lindsay would be voted. She's not strong or smart, not a very valuable player. In turn, this would destroy the Heather, making her more vulnerable without her servant.

Not Quite Famous would go similarly and Justin would still be voted.

The Sucky Outdoors. Izzy would still mess around, but the Bass would still lose. Since Katie is already gone, I think Sadie would be the next one out. She didn't play a large role after Katie's elimination in canon, so I think it would be the same in this.

Phobia Factor. The Bass lose again, and Tyler would still be booted. Much like Lindsay, he has no real strength or smarts. I really hate this. I love these characters too much!

Up the Creek. Izzy would definitely still be voted. I mean, she gave the other team the advantage and they cannot risk her staying around.

Paintball Deer Hunter. Obviously, Cody is still voted. Very unfortunate, but the team can't have him hold them back.

If You Can't Take the Heat, Beth still. She cursed them.

Who Can You Trust? Sadie was voted in this, but she's already gone in this AU. DJ majorly messed up by throwing the game taking off his blindfold, and despite his strength, I think he would be next.

Basic Straining. Okay. We all know this is the sabotage. Goodbye Courtney, this makes Harold a lot more villainous. He would be voted otherwise, most likely, so he would still sabotage. This is seriously making me sad I love Courtney.

X-Treme Tourture. Again. The same. Bye-bye Harold (YOU KILLED COURTNEY)

Brunch of Disgustingness. Girls vs. Boys + return. So, they're obviously dead, so no return. No elimination this time.

No Pain, No Game Merge! Eva has to go, she's very strong, mean, and competitive. They can't risk not voting her now.

Search and Do Not Destroy. Trent was voted here, but I don't think anyone is cruel enough to let him go at this point. Even if he cheated. They need to go after THREATS. Who is a threat? Duncan. Duncan is gone.

Hide & Be Sneaky. Heather and Leshawna still get elimination (Heather didn't need Lindsay's help for this or the last one). The girls probably still wouldn't get along, but without Duncan there wouldn't be a guys alliance. I believe Noah would be voted- he isn't strong, but he isn't nice and there aren't any big threats left that they can vote.

That's Off the Chain! Heather DID NOT WIN. She could not have won this without Lindsay in this episode. Whoever won elimination gets by, Heather is gone.

Hook Line, and Screamer. DJ was voted this episode, but he's already gone and all that's left is a giant friend group. I think Owen would be voted, hate to say it. He isn't close enough with the others and is surprisingly good at challenges.

Wawanakwa Gone Wild! Izzy is out this episode, but she isn't here. I think Gwen, Leshawna, and Trent would vote together as they have a very strong bond (and the Heather thing with Trent had time to explain). I think the next one gone would be Geoff.

Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon. Instead of six like in canon, there's only four campers left. Chris can't really put people who don't get along, so he would do Gwen and Leshawna as well as Bridgette and Trent (Trent can spill about the alliance, Chris wants drama). Gwen and Leshawna would win because they're an overpowered team. It's either Trent or Bridgette going, and due to the alliance, it's Bridgette.

Haute Camp-ture cannot exist, and since there's only 3 competitors left, we should skip to...

I Triple Dog Dare You! When it comes down to dares, it's up to luck with these three. They'll do anything. They don't want to die. The dares, because of this, will be more torturous and brutal. SOMETHING HAS TO BE WORSE THAN DEATH FOR THEM TO GIVE UP! Chances are, Trent is the one losing. He's good, but not as good as Gwen and Leshawna.

And when it comes down to it, Leshawna would beat Gwen at anything.

Finally watching episode 9 so here are some live notes:

•Aiden falling over when Tess gave him the water bucket was a peak visual gag

•Alec??? Alec hello???

•Yul with Kai’s shirt…toxic yaoi scraps…

•Oh my god fuck this guy

•Grett you poor baby holy shit???

•LETS GO RIYA GO OFF QUEEN

•Riya looked up to Grett omg…

•FUCK HIM UP ALEC oh my god I hate Yul Grett needs to dump his sorry ass

•I don’t really know how I feel about how they’re portraying Gabby’s mental health. Idk it’s just kinda off

•I love Jake but how much longer are we going to do this TomJake subplot fuck me it’s so boring

•The Ally and Jake beef is kinda sucky too. Also what’s Jake been doing for the last nine episodes if not trying to improve? Wh

•Jake I could fix you

•Tom’s totally lying about his boyfriend huh

•YEP okay

•Also Aiden and Tom bonding over their scars is kinda cute

•Tom still thinks about him??? Okay we’re getting somewhere I’ll let them cook

•Emily I love you so much Emily. Trevor too. Power friendship

•Girl why are you eating a raw carrot. Creature

•I’m still sad that we didn’t get any real Jake/Ellie interactions after they set up a rivalry between them in season one. Come on. Toxic friends. Or rivals who can’t let go of a past platonic bond

•When are we going to get a non-elimination episode it’s been like eight eliminations in a row now I think

•Jake…buddy…

•FUCK EM UP GRETT

•“Ok ok I’m sorry” immediately when Ashley tells him what to do. He’s such a lapdog I love him

•TESSALLY CRUMBS

•JAKE!! FUCK YEAH KILL HIM!! HE’S SO BACK!!

•I’m so proud of him

•Tom <3 I don’t really like him this season but he’s still my cutie patootie yk

•ALLY BABYGIRL YOU DID IT

•Can you guys tell who my favorite team is yet

•I feel like Gabby isn’t really acting villainous yet. Kinda let down on that front tbh

•Yul kinda seems vaguely attracted to Tom

•If Riya goes home…

•Why has no one voted for Yul yet

•Sorry but when did Grett like make up with Gabby? Wouldn’t it make sense for Gabby to still hold a grudge against her for season one? She holds grudges, we know she does, she did it in season one and she’s doing it now

•Listen I get Gabby’s anger but Tess, Aiden, and Tom are right like all of these people would betray Gabby at any other point given the chance and Alec fucked Ellie over multiple times

•Man I miss their friendship actually

•IF RIYA GOES HOME…

•OH MY GOD IS IT TESS

•FUCK

•ONC stop voting off some of your strongest characters before the merge challenge fuck off I’m so sick of these eliminations

•Gabby kinda ate tho

•“Someone say bye to Ally for me” sobbing

•Gabby you’re so babygirl I’m going to miss your friendship with Tom so much

•OLIVER’S BACK

•Wait are Tom and Jake going to talk next episode then? I mean I guess I’m excited but…also not really because it’s probably going to end how it always does. With them just moping and not resolving anything. Augh

Overall the episode was okay I guess? Animation is wonderful as always but I’m really sick of the same like three plot threads being drawn out and of an interesting character going home every single episode without being fully developed beforehand. I feel like the writers— as much effort and love as they’re putting in— aren’t very organized and could use a lore Bible or a clearer outline, because some plots and character arcs are just dropped randomly, and some aren’t resolved in a very sensible or well-paced fashion. That’s not to say the writing is entirely bad, the writers clearly have some good ideas and the dialogue gets better every episode, but I think they need to balance the story better and plan out what they’re going to do with each character more effectively— it would also be nice to have some more relationships between characters instead of each character having 1-2 focal relationships with a few vague allies or enemies outside of that, considering how much time we have left with the season still. But that’s just a matter of preference on my end, I <3 complex relationship webs.
