bubbly!

And every. Single. Week. The ptsd of the past seasons hits me, saying "What if it turns bad though?"

I think it's time though - Season 12 is great and here's why:

personally i would rather they make the OG girl wlw route a slow burn where she's not interested at first/interested in other boys first (like Marisol, Talia, Angie) and then your late game wlw LI (either pre casa but never officially coupled up until later like Bea, or post casa like Eisha, Maisie) kinda be more of the "loyal" route where she's into MC and willing to couple up from the jump since usually by then theres only one or two recouplings left, so the branching won't be as difficult.

because for how long can you justify like Ruby being into you, flirting with you, going to the HIDEAWAY with her, and her specifically even actively hating being with her partner, but never picking you?

Like it's kinda happening with Joya, who, as a bombshell, should've had a choice of ANYONE but still lands on your partner. Like I wish even for a bi MC she would still express more interest in your partner, maybe even make it part of her personality that she's messy and wants to make MC jealous by flirting with her partner instead of flirting with MC.

that OR we return to being able to couple up with your wlw LI from the get go like in S3/4 (although those seasons dont have as much drama/story so I assume it was a little easier). I dont know what happens in s4 bc ive never seen anyone do a najuma route BUT S3 integrates it very nicely where they compensate by just having Ciaran and Tai couple up, so the numbers still work out.

Did Murphy wear underwear with his pyjamas? Did he take the time to get dressed before sneaking off with Milly? He was in his pyjamas when Eren and the MC returned and before they left.

Do they not keep the hideaway locked? The tree house and the secret garden are available, they don't need the hideaway for catching people sneaking off.

There's no penalty for them going to the hideaway either so there's no point to anyone ever competing over it.

Most of that laundry wasn't dirty. Just have a game called "guess what facts are about which Islander" at this point, at least it would be accurate.

Good that it wasn't mostly bad stuff from the girls and good stuff from the guys at least.

Sucks that there's no option to tell Joya that the MC doesn't think Joya doesn't believe in love, she just wanted to kiss her. Joya brings it up but as easy as it would be to clarify the game just moves on instead.

I know there's a small number of people so far but I wish the games would go on longer. Let us guess at answers outside of it being the MC's turn at least.

Sucks that it's a diamond choice but I had my MC tell Annabel about Milly and Murphy anyway. That's her bestie so she wouldn't let that slide.

I was hoping that the open relationship one would have been Joya to add to Joya/Eren/MC mental folder. At least I got all three of them having the same love language.

I had my MC eat the sausage. Sorry to Annabel but it was funny and the characters seem to rarely eat nowadays. A girl can't survive on coffee she probably doesn't even finish before getting a text message.

I misread "sexy massage" as "sexy message".

Joya picking Eren makes no sense if she doesn't like him. I don't know why Fusebox seems to think that we want the LIs to only ever be interested in the MC even if it's early days. Why risk the MC leaving if it's only her she wants?

Why did she steal the MC's place in the physical touch part of the compatibility challenge if she doesn't like him?

I didn't bother with either of the choices for going to the secret garden. I don't want to eat into my gems by taking a 29 gem choice and Joya's reason for picking Eren was probably something about not wanting to get involved in drama.

I think the writers just wanted the MC uncoupled for the Sleepover but she doesn't even couple up at the end.

Really annoyed at the Sleepover villa lately. There too short a time for much to happen and there wasn't even a choice in whether or not to bring someone back. The boys should have been bombshells.

Here's a scenario: The boys show up at the fire pit. Joya gets to choose someone but so do the new boys as bombshells. Joya picks Eren off her route and Gabriel or Murphy on her route. The accountant picks Annabel and the bald guy picks the MC. Kicks off drama right away with most of the couples being uncoupled. No time wasted. Perhaps I'll rewrite this season if anyone is interested.

I don't know why Annabel is asking why Gabriel kissed Milly. He said why, I think the reason was dumb but she does know why.

Annabel's dream analysis is such a rip off. She just says that the MC's dream guy is going to show up which we all already knew. I don't think she's even doing dream analysis right. I'm not an expert at it but she could have gone into things water could represent. The clouds and what they could mean isn’t mentioned even though every dream starts with the MC in those purple clouds. I don't know if it's better with the other options (I chose the pool one which was the first one) but I doubt it.

She also won't tell Eren's dreams but does reveal Murphy's because fuck Murphy's privacy I guess. He dreams about getting attacked by a duck I think.

I wonder if Annabel's thing with that accountant is being set up to fail. He said he didn't want a girl that just liked him for his money and body but those are what made her switch her attention to him. Though they could form a deeper bond later.

someone has some competition
