Jirayu wtfff. Like unless you get on your hands and knees begging for forgiveness, I'm not sure I can forgive like why do I have to have bad taste 😭😭😭

OKAY. SO HEAR ME OUT BECAUSE I HAVE A BIT OF A HOT TAKE ON THIS

I... actually fucking love this.

How on earth are you guys mad about this?

On every other route, as well as I understand, Jirayu and Carmen are secretly dating and have been for the past six months.

But correct me if I'm wrong, on a Jirayu route, he breaks up with her and she basically goes scorched earth and is like "Well I'm gonna fuck up your whole life the way you fucked up mine."

So what you're telling me is that he and his girlfriend concocted a plan to go on Too Hot to Handle, win the money, and fuck off with it into the sunset,

BUT HE FELL FOR YOU FOR REAL AND NOW HE WANTS OUT OF THE PLAN?!?!?!?!

HOW ARE YOU GUYS NOT LOVING THIS?!!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!

I'M FUCKING LOVING THIS AND I'M NOT EVEN ON HIS ROUTE!!!!!! I AM SWOONING SO HARD I'M GONNA FALL OVER!!!!

There is nothing better than a dastardly lil plot being completely laid to waste by someone falling for the person they absolutely under no circumstances were supposed to fall for.

Like, is that not absolutely, positively, fnjsdalfdsjakgdsakjhv?????!!!??!?!?!?!?!? It's not so 🥰🥰🥰🥰 that it just 😭😭😭😭😭😭??????

JIRAYU IS THE BEST LOVE INTEREST OF THE SEASON AND I'M NOT EVEN PLAYING HIS ROUTE BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA FUKCING START

because the FANFICTION FODDER

THE

FANFICTION

FODDER

FOR THIS ROUTE

IT WAS HANDED TO FANFIC WRITERS ON A GOLDEN PLATTER FOR WRITING HIS POINT OF VIEW!!!!!!

THE ANXIETY AND THE HEARTBREAKING LOSS WHEN HE REALISES HE MIGHT BE ABOUT TO LOSE THE GIRL HE'S FALLEN HEAD OVER HEELS FOR OVER MISTAKES HE MADE BEFORE HE EVEN MET HER BUT HE'S CHANGED AND HE WANTS TO TELL HER BUT HE'S TERRIFIED THAT TELLING HER THE TRUTH WILL MEAN HE'LL LOSE HER FOREEEVVVVEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

10/10 plot twist nanobit.

I'm trying really hard to say this nicely but I've had a hellish week so it's probably going to come out a little harsher than intended.

Once you start playing, and you inevitably realise you're not having a good time, and you decide you don't want to play any more, please don't ruin it for those of us who keep going.

Last season, I wasn't the only one who felt like people were getting really rude and/or judgey over those of us who were still playing. Yeah, it's not perfect. Oftentimes it's downright bad. But we're still playing it, and we're trying to have a good time.

I don't want to be reminded that my LI says the same things as the others. I know. I don't need to be reminded that their proportions are off or that their face is weird or whatever. We know. But we're trying to enjoy the game as best we can. There's just no need for me to post something raving about my LI and have the comments, the asks, whatever saying 'you know his route is exactly the same as [other person] though right?'. It just makes me not want to bother posting to tumblr at all. It's funny if you're laughing and commiserating with your friends if we're all playing together, but when you're not playing, and I am, it actually comes across as really patronising. It makes me feel like you're looking down on me for enjoying a game that you deemed not up to your standards.

I'm not saying I've never complained about the game, that would be insane. I've got a whole blog where I talk about it all the bloody time. But I'm also playing and I'm making jokes and memes with other people who are also playing. We're commiserating together.

Argh, I'm not wording this right.

Here.

If you and your friends are all watching a movie, and you aren't enjoying it, go ahead and sit on your phone that's totally fine.

You're welcome to look up every now and again and ask what's going on, or look up and smile at a kiss scene and go 'awww that's cute' and go right back to your phone.

But don't yell out insults at the movie while your friends are having a good time watching it. And especially don't make fun of your friends who are laughing at the happy bits, or crying at the sad parts.

Don't tell them they're being silly because the movie is dumb and you've seen better.

But at least for now, the winner is This Time, I'm Serious.

And my favourite fic I've ever written? Shit. That's like asking me to pick a child. Well, not really because I would have 83 children.

Look, it varies day by day. When I read back over TTIS, as the author I only see its flaws. I see the SPAG mistakes, the shitty attempts at angst, the plot holes and poor character development and the mary-sue-ism and all the other problems with it.

But it's mine. And that fic introduced me to an entire world full of people who I now consider to be some of my closest friends.

So yeah. They're the same. 💛💛💛

my most kudosed fic is be my mistake which is also the first fic i ever posted on ao3!

my FAVORITE fic is definitely don't call me baby which is my literal baby <333 not but seriously, it was the first chaptered fic i had ever finished so it's just super special to me. also i just love ryan and marshall and could write about them for 157 years

So you know my very good friend
