I wrote something. It sure is a thing. Enjoy this bit of fluff in which Bill faces an impossible choice. This was a five minute word prompt from the LITG FF writer Discord : Mayo

Yup, I'm done. Who got paid to say, "You know what would be fun? If everyone gaslit you about your ex for an entire season!" Like the whole thing is just people judging you for having the nerve to have an ex. And he brings all this drama and intrudes upon your life and won't leave you alone no matter how many times you explicitly tell him you aren't interested and everyone makes it seem like you're leading him on. They're all like, WHOA YOU'VE GOT BAGGAGE TO WORK OUT. Nope. HE has baggage. I'm chill. I'm here for fun. Ugh. This season is nothing but loneliness and pain. If you're not a Suresh fan, hang it up. There's nothing here for you. This is so disappointing. It's like they looked at every complaint we've ever made about the game and just put them all into one horrible, horrible season.
Season 5 - Summary (Episodes 17-25)
Hi Folks,
Part Two! I did not rip these myself, but this is my summary and my HCs, so if you're gonna copy/paste these and share them, please at least keep my name in the screenshot (sigh)
Spoilers under the cut, obviously
🤍Episode 17
A chat with Dana where she tells you she's nervous
You can declare BFFs with Dana.
Alfie tells Meera she'll be fine.
Arlo gets in a Kat fight lol. Kat is being a mega bitch to everyone, going on about how secure she is.
Eddie & Finn ask for your help and you can graft on them. Doesn't change shit though
Recoupling:
Eddie picks Dana
Finn picks Kat
Suresh picks Arlo
Cliff...
🤍Episode 18
...hanger.
Alfie picks MC (obviously)
Bye Meera, you're literally the best looking girl on this island.
Eddie tells you he wants to cool shit down with you.
Eddie literally, I shit you not, says "I don't want to waste my time with you". Backtracks and digs himself into a hole of telling you he wants to focus on Dana.
Meera is stupidly nice about leaving, but holy shit, I feel so bad for anyone who isn't pursuing Alfie rn. She is devestated. And if you're not pursuing him you have to stand there and be all "Yeah, he's just a friend."
Arlo is pissed about it, and is like "I know who I would've picked if I were Alfie." Rude...
Holy shit this girl was here for an entire one day and we are getting the world's longest farewell just goooooooo
Oh my god though, you have a choice of saying "Goodbye", "Something Sexy", or "Good Riddance". If you pick "Good Riddance" everyone gets soooo mad omg omg omg 💀💀
Dana pulls you for a chat, and she cracks on to you, but it's actually stupidly cute and she talks about her cat Georgie.
Alfie overhears and you have to choose between them. Whichever one you don't pick leaves and you have a convo with the other. Then you get to kiss the one you picked.
Bla bla bla, Arlo rubs it in your face that she's with Suresh and you can tell her to fuck off.
Alfie/Dana invites you to join them on the daybeds, and you get to make out a little, some under the clothes stuff, nothing that exciting.
Then you go SKINNY DIPPING
I literally cannot tell if this is supposed to be a sex scene? It just talks about 'bodies bobbing up and down in the water?'
Regardless, Eddie the creeper is watching again.
🤍Episode 19
Can get a little steamy with Alfie but he turns it off and wants to take it slow.
I beg thee, a crumb? A crumb of cock? Please? Somebody?
Going back into the bedroom, and as expected, Eddie has told everyone about your shenanigans.
Suresh is having an absolute fucking tantrum about it, I am losing my shit, I love it so much.
Holy shit you can be such an incredible bitch here. Arlo accuses you of hooking up with Alfie to make Suresh jealous, and you can be like "Yeah, I am". Alfie gets soooo cut.
Dana is properly devastated about you turning her down and is sulking a bit.
Arlo and Kat being annoying and getting in a lil bitch fight again.
Breakfast date in the garden yay!
Alfie is either very cute or very awkward depending on whether or not you picked him.
Finn is literally flirting with Arlo in front of both Kat and Suresh and I am living for it. I want him, he's amazing, he's drama in a bottle.
Kiss Alfie/Dana again in front of everyone yay.
Arlo pulls you aside and tells you Suresh will. not. shut. up about you. She thinks he's angry about you and Alfie/Dana. She's annoyed about it and wants reassurance that you're not going after him.
🤍Episode 20
Beach rescue challenge!
LITEXT: Islanders, you will take it in turns to complete the obstacle course before rescuing your partner from the paddling pool. The girls will vote on which boy did it best, and the boys on which girl did it best. #WetAndWild #SexyRescue
You get a kiss at the end yay.
Eddie gets disqualified for skipping a section of the course boo.
Finn and Kat are bickering, and halfway through the course he reveals he had a sexy dream about MC involving sex in a bouncy castle. Who is this drama magnet? Oh my god, I want him.
Kat's like booo, keep your dreams to yourself. Like I'm sorry, girl, have some self respect. He has disrespected you by telling everyone. Trash man (leave him for me)
Suresh does the most unrealistic run of the course ever.
Dana launches a water balloon at him, which he catches then sexily bursts on his ripped abs.
Suresh audaciously runs down the slide and dives through the sand tunnel. He leaps the grassy obstacle, scissor kicking a flying water balloon as he does. You notice his soaked abs glisten in the sunlight.
The winner of the boys is Suresh, winner of the girls is MC. You go on a double date with your partners.
You go for a bit of a cheeky snog with Alfie/Dana.
Suresh catches you and there's a lot of sexual tension, it's kinda hot. Sneaky sneaky. He tells you he's wearing the black shirt you got him for Valentine's day on your date, and tells you to wear that black dress.
You can literally pour a smoothie over him ahahhahhahahahahaha
He's all "You know I wish I was going on the date with you, right?"
Author's note, all this sneaking around behind Arlo's back is 🔥, I am such a hypocrite.
🤍Episode 21
Suresh is flirting with you while on his date with Arlo. He specifically says certain things really loudly and then glances at you instead of her.
Ok, stop, this is actually fucking with my head.
On the date, Alfie keeps trying to make a toast, but he keeps getting distracted by your eyes. I- what- excuse me!!! Do not!!!? Give me such feelings?!? For this pixel man?!? SWOON!
Suresh is boasting about helping deliver 6 puppies, and Alfie's all "Did Suresh just say he wanted to give birth to a dog?"
I am beside myself. Alfie/Dana script is just *chefs kiss* 💀💀💀
He is completely down to be absolutely fucking with Suresh & Arlo and making it look like he's telling you really funny jokes, I am in love with him? This FTL arc is woof.
Alfie wants to like, commit to you for the rest of the summer? What does that even mean. *Gasp* does it mean I get laid?
Arlo pulls you aside and is all smug about Suresh. Gem Option where she spills some tea about what he said to her. He told Arlo that he's ready to move on from you.
You can then rub it in her face that he wore that shirt for you lol lol lol lol. You can tell her he was flirting with you, too. But she doesn't believe you.
You then tell Dana that Suresh was flirting with you on the date hehehe.
Finn wants to apologise to Kat for flirting with Arlo at breakfast so he gets you and Dana to distract her. Finn's running around with candles behind her. To stop her from turning around Dana blabs about Suresh's flirting.
Kat turns around and Finn spelled out SOZ with candles omfg who is the comedian on the writing team, I'm fucking dying of laughter here, this is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life bar none.
FINALLY YA GIRL GETS LAID WOOOOOOOOOO PARTY TIMEEE 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️🍾🍾🍾💗💗💗🍆🍆🍆
Oh god. Suresh is looking at you.
Somebody on the writing team has a fucking exhibitionist kink.
You can glare at him, but Arlo catches you looking either way, and literally gets out of bed and comes over ready to confront you.
🤍Episode 22
Suresh is literally lying in bed giggling like a naughty schoolboy and you're the one getting dragged, what in the fuck?
Alfie/Dana gets mad about it though, and is like, I don't wanna talk about it.
I am so over this bullshitttttttt just let me get dicked down *sob*
🥺🥺🥺 Alfie wakes up and is like 'you know what, IDC. I'm not letting Suresh's games get in the way. He's jealous, let him stare if he wants... unless it bothers you and then I'll make him stop.' (This is almost exactly what Bruno said to Jas about Youcef in TTIS, just quietly, not accusing anyone of anything...)
Arlo is getting stupidly possessive over Suresh, why in the fuck they gotta make the black girl the villain AGAIN I swear to god.
OKAY WAIT THOUGH
This flirting is actually.... getting... kind of good?
Did they have a different writer for these? What the hell?
There's an extremely sexy, flirty conversation with Suresh, in the kitchen, where he's eating an Orange (Clearly meant to be a mandarin, not an orange.)
There's a very cute conversation with Alfie/Dana, where you just roll your eyes and say Suresh is being an alpha.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Don't look too alpha from here. Looking up towards the gym you spot Arlo showing off her boxing moves to Suresh. He winces in fear with every jab at his hands. Alfie laughs to himself.
Alfie/Dana confesses they're falling for you. For real.
🤍Episode 23
BFF pulls you aside and wants to know you feel about Alfie/Dana LI. They ask how you feel about Suresh's flirting, and tell you to go pull your LI and Suresh aside and figure out if it's the real deal, or just fanny flutters.
You go to the LI first, . If you stay on the daybeds it kinda stays light-hearted, but if you go to the living room it gets super melty and cute. Either way though, they tell you they're all in for you. Want to take you home and meet the family, etc. (Baby, we are half way through. We haven't even been to Casa yet, baby is gonna get their heart broken omg.)
Suresh then pulls you aside. Here we go.
Suresh fidgets, for the first time showing a flash of vulnerability. SURESH: OK. I’m just gonna come right out and say it. PLAYER: You do that. SURESH: I only coupled up with Arlo because I thought that you wanted a chance to move on.
Dear God, my sincerest apologies to anyone not romancing Suresh.
If you paid to go to the bedroom you get a slightly saucier description of the reminiscing. You reminisce about a particularly sexy encounter.
Suresh leans in to kiss you and you get to snog, hug, or swerve him.
Kat will see you, and reacts accordingly. *Shock horror, gasp, is shook*.
🤍Episode 24
Kat says she's not going to say anything
BFF pulls you aside again, spill the tea.
You get a text woohoo - Oh god, it's Truth or Dare.
This is going to be difficult to put into a Tumblr post. Bear with me.
1st - Eddie - Picks DARE
SEXY - Do a sexy dance for everyone (Does a generally unsexy dance)
SEXY - Sexily kiss one islander. (Kisses Dana)
FUNNY - Do an animal impression (Does a really bad wolf impression)
FUNNY - Do an islander impression (Does a terrible Finn impression which is actually hysterical)
2nd - Arlo - Picks TRUTH
No choice. Kat asks "When was the last time you lied?"
Arlo responds: "Just then, when I said you were smart enough to think of a good question."
3rd - Kat - Picks DARE
No choice. Dana dares Kat to suck your big toe. You can decline and she does it to Finn instead.
4th - Alfie - Picks DARE
No choice. Dana dares Alfie to act out one of his past sexual experiences. It is heavily implied that he fucked a cow. But it's revealed he just snuck into the bushes and a cow stuck its head in and scared them.
5th - Dana - Picks DARE
No choice. Suresh asks her if she's ever been in love, and she says no. If you're romancing her she says she's getting there.
6th - Suresh - Picks DARE
Have you ever been in love? He says yes. 'I told you many many times."
Would you ever cheat again? He says no. "I wouldn't do anything to risk a relationship ever again."
Would you ever get married? He says he's into the idea.
7th - MC
Pick Truth: They ask "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Options are:
"Yes, Absolutely"
"No, Love takes time"
"I'm not sure"
Pick Dare: They say. "We dare you to show us your 'O' face, with sound effects.
You do it, and everyone is like, slack jawed, hard, wet, etc. MC is a hot fuckin' bitch. Sex noises ftw.
*Gem Option* - Another dare. Kat dares you to do a sexy belly dance balancing an object on your head. You do it successfully and everyone gets pretty excited about it but nothing actually happens other than Eddie saying it turned him on.
8th - Finn - Picks DARE
No choice. You tell him to kiss the girl he finds the most attractive. Arlo tells him to strip for her.
Finn walks up to Arlo and snogs her, throwing in a bit of a striptease.
Kat gets genuinely fucking hurt by it (as she should, wtf dude.) But everyone starts laughing telling her to chill out.
KAT: Finn making a fool out of me is a good laugh is it? KAT: Somebody being made a fool of is a joke to you guys? DANA: It’s not that Kat, it’s just that Finn can’t help but be funny. KAT: Right, well, it’s a good job I’m not the only one being made a fool of then. KAT: Ain’t that right, MC? Everyone turns to look at you. You feel your body tense awkwardly. KAT: How about you tell Alfie what a fool he is? KAT: And how you’ve been cracking on with Suresh behind his back. There is absolute silence around the firepit.
Surprise pikachu face.
Arlo storms off. Alfie/Dana storms off. Kat storms off.
OMG Finn is actually devestated he hurt Kat's feelings awwwwwww!!!!!!
He's all "I can be so stupid sometimes."
And then....
AND THEN......
After looking all over the villa, you decide to head up to the terrace in hopes of finding Alfie and explaining everything. It’s time to get some stuff off your chest. Time to set everything right. You arrive on the terrace and are stunned into silence.
You find Alfie and Kat kissing each other.
PLAYER: Alfie?! Kat?!
Note: If you're on a Dana route, she's kissing Eddie.
🤍Episode 25 - DRAMA CENTRAL
Excuse me while I go fuck myself, apparently.
You run into Finn, and he's like hahaha yeah nah, that would never happen. But Alfie's like omg I'm so sorry. After everything you just fucking spurted, about falling for us, why you little...
Finn still thinks it's a prank.
It is, just to be clear, not a fucking prank.
They really fucking just Cherrygated us.
Finn is now extremely pissed.
Kat & Alfie are both angry as fuck that MC and Finn are pissed off about it.
There's an extremely loud argument about who kissed who, with both of them claiming the other initiated it.
Somehow, regardless of what you did or didn't do with Suresh, you end up the bad guy. Alfie's all "What matters is you cracking on with that cheating ex of yours" and "Save me the details" and "I can't be around you right now" Um ex-fucking-cuse me?
Alfie storms off (Bye Felicia)
Kat blames you for everything, saying it was your idea to dare Finn to kiss someone. You can take the blame (um no.) or Blame someone else, but regardless, nothing happens.
Note: If you're on a Dana route, she kisses Eddie and admits that she initiated it.
You're hiding from everything on the roof terrace and Suresh comes to check on you, admitting that it would've hurt more because of what happened in the past between the two of you.
He reveals he came to LI to give you closure, and because he needed it as well. He was going to come on, apologise, answer questions, and then leave.
She asks what happened, and Suresh is all "I looked into your eyes, and I knew straight away I couldn't give up on you. I had to stay and take a shot at winning you back."
Suresh says he wants you back, and says you have to give him an answer tonight.
Finn pulls you aside, and says he's seeing everything in a different light. He wants you. But before you can give him an answer, the girls pull you aside for drama management
The girls force you to pick between Alfie and Suresh. But when you go to find whichever one you picked....
Girls, The boys have headed off to Casa Amor and some sexy singletons are now heading your way! #HeadsWillTurn #CasaRemorse
👏👏👏
I'm blackish (mixed) and I grew up in a place where there were almost ZERO people of color. Any color. So I didn't enjoy my childhood to say the least. And I grew up hating my hair so much because it was the one thing that made me stand out among my white classmates, and later on, when I moved away, it was the thing that made me stand out among all the black folks in my neighborhood. Suddenly, I had the "good hair," but it was just another way to make us all hate ourselves. If you want to know if representation matters, I can tell you that it does. I'm from the boonies and the first time I ever saw a commercial for black hair care products (I was 16), I burst into tears, because I didn't even know they existed. I didn't know anyone had made anything for me. It changed how I viewed myself. It took me so many years to learn to love myself and my hair. To stop trying to "tame" my frizz and "control" my curls. To stop smoothing myself over until I was more European and palatable for the world at large. Fuck all the noise. Fuck the good hair bullshit. Fuck the nonsense of people who play stupid about what appropriation is. My hair is a wayward, wild creature that doesn't look the same twice. It follows no rules and cannot be grounded. It must be free and loved just as it is and when it is loved, it thrives. Just like the rest of me.
There is NO. GOOD. HAIR. There is only hair (or lack there of) and it's ALL GOOD.
The Magic In Our Hair Is Its Versatility.
Black Hair Things:
Wigs were not invented by white people. Whenever a discussion about cultural appropriation arises the first thing said is that wigs on black women are also appropriation. Unlearn that. Wigs have long existed in Africa, and some have been found in tombs alongside our black queens in Ancient Egipt. Look it up.
Black hair grows at the same rate and speed as any other race. But our hair is sensitive and needs care, so you need to enforce a haircare routine so it won't break. If they tell you black hair does not grow, don't believe them.
"Good hair" is an invention. You decide what is good or bad simply by changing your mind on what good looks like. If it is hard to see the beauty in your hair simply change the content you consume. Follow black people on social media who wear their natural hair, see more black movies, and read about black hair history and hairstyle meanings.
Most self-hate issues can be helped (not fixed) by positive representation. You will first see, second love and third copy.
