Bobby would 100% do this. Probably right after telling you he loves you for the first time 🤣 "I love ya, lass." RIIIIIIIIP! TADAAAA!

Maybe I should edit my new chapter...

I need him so bad it’s unreal

By any chance can you put man bun next to Roberto? I’m tryna see something…

Making images isn't a thing I usually do, but... this is for science, right?

Dear god, thank you for the ask.

Nine People You Want to Get to Know Better

💖 Thank you @chroniccomicobsession, @eskiix, @0shewrites0, @operationnope, @willkimurashat, @noahsthottie for tagging me in this! I dragged my feet on it because I'm embarrassed to admit how little I'm reading right now. Also, cuz I can't shut up and I always write too-long posts 😆

Last Song: Reaching by Jason Reeves. I've been editing my chapter for what feels like years and last night I needed to break up the many repeats of Taylor Swifts This Love (TV), so I played Reaching a lot, too.

Girl, you are the morning sky Glowing calm with burning light And as I am waking up You paint your reflection in my eye Wonder if you've noticed I can't look away

You're inches from my fingertips I've come as close as I can get I'm reaching but the rest is up to you

Currently Reading: I'm not currently reading anything really. I should be. I have a lot of stuff I'd love to read, but my attention span is garbage. Gnats have a better chance of finishing a book than I do.

Currently Watching: Scaredy Cats on Youtube. It's horror movie reviews basically. I'm too squeamish to fully watch horror movies, but I like them. So I usually watch the beginning, then read the plot of the rest on Wikipedia (I call it Wiki-Watching). If it interests me, I watch bunches of reviews for it too. I love film dissection.

In case it's not obvious, I'm a huge nerd.

Current Obsession: LITG S6, specifically the future potential of an Ozzy/Marhsall/MC love triangle. Or something else... But also, monster movies! I've always loved them, but I'm on a bit of a kick right now. The other night I watched three back to back with decreasing levels of enjoyment and competence. As I said above, I love film dissection, so if you wanna read me giving my mini-reviews for each of the three movies, I think I'll post that separately. This is long enough.

Tagging: @queen-of-boops, @thatwheelchairchick, @kikithegr8, @litg1carlstancentral, @crimswnred, @codename-mango @mercedesdecorazon @wildberryjams @litg-burnbook (I tried to make sure everyone hadn't posted one of these yet, but sorry if you've already been spammed with tags for this 😆)

TSIME: The Casa Girls

While I was preparing to write Casa Amor from the boys' point of view for The Sun in My Eyes, I realized I'd have to create the girls, because we only really know Shannon. Even Blake is a bit of a mystery as we learn almost nothing about her, other than she's seems thin-skinned. So I spent some time sorting out the main personality trait of each original islander, and then made each CA girl a combo of 2 of them.

Marisol + Priya

Amber is a huge snob and decided as soon as she met Emily that she was stupid and low class, and needed to be put in her place. Amber is a bitch. It was really fun to write two women who were both WAY too good for Jakub, get so caught up in competing with each other that they forgot that what they were fighting over wasn't actually a prize.

Just Hope

Originally Siobhan was Hope + Lottie. A self-important troublemaker, but she just didn't flow that way when I started writing her. I didn't want to write yet another brittle black woman (Fusebox has that on lock). It was more fun to make her have all of Hope's best traits (playful, direct, ambitious) yet none of her worst. Siobhan is who Hope could be if she weren't so insecure. A self-actualized Zen badass. Basically she's S3 Yasmin before S3 came out.

Hope + Marisol

What's there to say about Shannon? I love this manipulative, savvy bitch. And she deserved better than Rahim's triflin' ass dithering between multiple girls.

Lili + Lottie

Yuna was an accidental villain. It was supposed to be Siobhan telling everyone about what Emily did, but once I started writing, it just felt right for this spoiled, chronic talker to thoughtlessly spill Emily's business to anyone who'd listen. And for her to lie to Bobby in order to manipulate him into choosing her. Love Yuna or hate her, you gotta respect the audacity.

Lili + Priya

You know, I really wanted to redeem Blake. I always thought she took a lot of heat for simply being a little thin-skinned, and I wanted to give context for her behavior when she came to the villa. But I underestimated just how much she was hated and no amount of context was gonna make anyone empathize with her 😆 Oh well. I tried.

Chelsea + Lottie

Oh, Emily. Girl. I love her tragic, bad decision making ass. And her wise, resigned kitchen conversation with Bobby is my favorite thing I wrote for Casa. I head canon, but never explicitly wrote into the story, that she DMed Lili the moment she left the show to apologize. Because that's just how she is. Emily is a fuck up, but she's an honest one.

Just an aside, but I gave her my mom's most endearing skill, the ability to cross one eye and keep the other straight. Something that never fails to make me laugh 🤣

Stay tuned, my post about Bobby's OC family is coming... eventually.

Thanks @longbobmckenzie for pointing out that my original post is missing for some reason.

Me after having plowed through all 53 chapters of The Sun in My Eyes in like 48 hours 😅

But also:

Bwhahahahahaha!!! You're so sweet! I'm always nervous when I see someone binge reading and commenting because it always goes from "THIS IS SO CUTE AND SWEET AND FLUFFY to WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO BOBBY, YOU MONSTER?

What I'm saying is, I'm so happy you stuck with me and don't hate me now 😂 FYI Chapter 54 will be posted some time this week. Probably Wednesday or Thursday!

I scrolled all the way through your blog because I remembered you had character info for the TSIME Casa Amor girls, only to not find it.

😂 You know, I was all "How the hell did she miss it?" and I went to prove you wrong, only you're not wrong. For some reason, the post is missing. I'm wondering if maybe it was on my old blog? But I swear it was here. I'll repost later today.
