Hi anon! With the new season starting tomorrow, there's really not much point in me doing the work twice to dig into the files, especially since I can't access the sprites and stuff until the season is released (I have to play an episode in order to download the game files for each season).

I need three things:

S5 MC dumped him

Our S9 MC can couple up with him properly, not just at the last recoupling

Kat CANNOT be there

I was already having a rough day. And this is really sad.

Working on Love Island the Game wasn't always easy in a variety of ways, especially at the end, but even after most of us were laid off amid dramatic circumstances, more than two years ago now, it was nice knowing that some people enjoyed our work that was still out there.

The Season 3 episodes and scenes, and the ones I edited, were my first experiences in a game studio team (shoutout the scenes with Tai, Rafi, and Lily that were the first pieces of writing I did on the game!). I learned so much from that, from The Wedding, Chelsea's Murder Mystery and The Boat Party, from all the prototypes and ideation that never went anywhere (that wonderful Regency-era Noah art... sigh...), from how the characters and storylines came together for Season 4 aka Bombshell (I loved coming up with the original concepts for Bruno, and Oliver, and Juliet, and Lexi, and Tiffany, and Valentina, and Kobi, and Hazeem: absolute joys to write and to see other writers bringing them extra sparks of life, and to do the same with helping bring other writers' concepts to life, and to start doing all sorts of exciting senior role stuff). It was very sad and stressful when it turned out that we couldn't be there to complete Season 4 in as polished a way as all of us wanted.

I'm still friends with many of the people I worked with on Love Island the Game and our other projects, and the things that didn't end up going out there, and I've worked with some of them since which was an absolute pleasure. I saw a lot of them earlier this month, and chatted with one on a video call just this morning. The way it ended for us was very painful, but a lot of it up to that point was so much fun.

There will still be some of the work I did for Love Island the Game out there in Season 4/Bombshell. But what a shame that a huge chunk of the work we all did, and the work before my time that got the studio its audience in the first place, turns out to be so ephemeral.

But I really, really draw the line at telling me my mom died because I’m a whore. Fuck you. And I know it’s you, because I haven’t told anyone on here except four people that my mom died. I find it funny I immediately get an ask about my mother after you liked the fic I wrote to help me with losing my mom in a completely different fandom THAT YOU’RE NOT EVEN IN.

The hate ended when you were gone and now it’s back. I hate you.

I fucking hate you. You spent all that time trying to lie that you’re not the anon and then go and prove us right. You’re a piece of shit. Never ever talk about me, or to me. Do not address my friends, do not ever talk about my trauma like you have some fucking right.

Fuck you @noahsthottie01 get off the damn internet
