Litg Rant - Tumblr Posts

Dana sucks. Once again Fusebox feels petty. OH YOU DON'T WANT FRIEND ISLAND. GUESS WHAT? NO FRIENDS AT ALL! I'm all for nuanced relationships. I too love Hope, she's a great friend. I don't mind someone a little messy. I love Chels. I wouldn't trust her with my secrets, but she still seems to have heart and is sincere in caring about MC. But the way this season is written it's impossible to feel like a single person actually likes us. I'm not a Suresh girl, so for me his attention feels very much like, I WANT WHAT I CAN'T HAVE and doesn't feel like he actually likes MC so much as wants to prove he can get them back, regardless of what they actually want. Even S4, which bored me greatly, had several excellent friends. Even if they had their own agendas and desires, they were still kind.

My love of a good rant is all that is keeping me going at this point. I'm refusing to spend gems on any scene, because it doesn't even matter if you do or not. Everyone reacts as if you did anyhow.

Angie would have none of this bullshit. She'd start punching fools for MC because she's got your back, always.

It’s official – all my previous MCs are ready to go to the villa to burn it down and hug my S5 MC tightly. I know it’s just a game, but see how everyone treats her (especially Dana who should be her bestie) make me feel sick. In previous seasons we had so many great friendship options (so far I love Chelsea, Seb and Kobi/Cora), and now I feel like everyone, if they could, would throw MC away. . .

SAME BESTIE 😭😭😭 Dana is the worst friend we've ever had point blank period. Suresh route or not!! being that I am on Suresh route this week she told MC that Suresh sleeping alone means absolutely nothing instead of supporting her but in the SAME breath told Kat that Finn in bed with another girl was more than likely nothing??? NAUR girly... pack it up. You're not my MC's friend AT ALL.

Loved Chelsea ❤️🥰, when you're not on a Noah route Hope is such a good friend and I really loved her too💕, Elladine was my season 3 bestie and again another 10/10, and Angie in S4 💖 all of my girls would've had MCs back!! Even if Angie didn't like Suresh (I would imagine she wouldnt) she wouldve still been supportive of MCs decisions.

Another Day Another S5 Rant

I'm very torn between my desire to do bit with someone, ANYONE this season and my desire to hose Finn with cold water for thinking I'd be with someone is isn't honest with their partner. Like a case was made by @ellegreenwxy for him that made me think of him differently, but this scene... ugh. I hate that there's no option to give him a chance without getting intimate in some way. My dialogue should have gone like this:

Listen Discount Noah, tell Kat how you feel about me. Deal with the consequences of it. Cuz otherwise you're stringing her along and denying her a chance to find someone who only has eyes for her and that's not fair. I need you to show me that you're worth the chance I'd be taking, and the misery I'd be dealing with in the villa to be with you. That I could trust you. Because being horny for me isn't enough. This invitation makes it feel like you trying to screw me so you can decide who the better lay is before you make any decisions. And I'm sorry but imma have to hit you with some Lizzo on that:

I will never ever ever ever ever be your side chick

I don't know who you think I am, but I'm bout to tell you. I'm someone who deserves to be more than a maybe. A try-her-out. A we'll see.

Be all in or GTFO.

Bom bom bi bom bi dum dum, ay

IT'S AN S5 RANT KIND OF DAY I GUESS

I have not finished the episode but Suresh looked good in his pilot outfit. And I did something I have not done the entire season. I chose not to reject his dance. I have literally turned him down and yelled at him every single chance, but I was like, well I kind of hate everyone, let's see how it goes. And the dance was good. It was hot. AND THEN THIS MOTHERFUCKER DANCED ON GABI.

Dude, you literally jumped from me to her. Just like SMP. Just like our actual relationship. I cannot fathom the writing this season, I truly can't. Just on the basis of not wanting to hurt MC I cannot believe he would keep doing this with Gabi in front of her. DO NOT SAY HOW MUCH IT HURT TO LOSE ME AND THEN KISS THE GIRL YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH, IN FUCKING FRONT OF ME. DON'T SAY YOU STILL CARE AND THEN GRIND ON HER ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF ME.

What the fuck is up with this season, ya'll? Why isn't there one decent guy? I don't really think it's gonna happen but I'm now leaning into the people who are convinced that Bobby is coming in as a contestant. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LET BOBBY COME IN AS A CONTESTANT. MC DESERVES SOMEONE WHO IS ALL HEART EYES FOR HER AND HER ALONE. ALSO CUPCAKES. SHE DESERVES CUPCAKES.

S6: A Rant

Man, this season started off so promising. I was actually excited for episodes again. Now I'm just back to being exhausted with it. The branching is not well executed at all. The Grace situation is BAFFLING and there's no option to be a decent person and at least flat out tell her you want to pursue Ozzy.

And now, for something completely expected! Enjoy an impassioned, profanity-laced rant about Amelia!

Thar be spoilers ahead.

Fuuuuuuuck this ho sideways with no lube. All her sister talk is bullshit. I really don't care if she and Ryan cracked on, because fine. But the way she went about it, the way she neglected to tell me, and then blew off my feelings about it? Oh no. Bitch, you know better. We're Scorpio risings. Which means we never forgive and we never forget.

It's especially weird considering how vehement she was about not liking Jamal because he said he had feelings for Ivy and then got over her immediately... um. What does she think just happened with Ryan?

She had the audacity to act like it hardly mattered, since I didn't pick him anyway. Yeah, I didn't. But here's the thing. I could have. He was still pursuing me. It's weird and gross that this guy was actively trying to get with me and he's telling me he has all these super deep feelings, but he's been cracking on with my sister secretly? What's that about? Like they could have told me and that would have made my decision for me and they could have just been getting to know each other without being snakey. If she "knew" I wasn't going to choose him, what possible reason could she have to keep it from me?

Perhaps she simply has a ravenous appetite for my scraps.

This is the second time she's kept something from me when it comes to guys (that I know of). And acted like she did it for my benefit and like it didn't matter at all. My only angry option here was, "I'm annoyed with you." And her response was to act all giddy for me and my new partner as though it's all forgiven. She's so dismissive that they wrote actual dialogue for MC to say, "I said I'm still annoyed," and Amelia was like, "Oh well. Doesn't mean anything. Still sisters! Byyyyye!"

I have played nice with her so far. No more nice. I don't give a shit about Ryan. Other than feeling even more ick than I already did, nothing's changed there. But she seems to have a chronic issue with honesty and a lack of consideration for my feelings, and I have a big problem with that.

Honestly, there's a part of me that wants to pursue Ryan just out of spite. Then I throw up in my mouth a little, and I change my mind. Neither of them are worth that.

Another Day Another S6 Rant

If you're enjoying S6, please disregard. This is for the grumps, haters, and complainers among us who thrive on poking our own wounds just to re-live the pain.

Oh, Amelia. On day one, this ho had the nerve to say I was the attention seeker between us. And then made every day afterward about her. Imagine the absolute egomaniacal gall of going to a party and stopping everyone's good time dead, to announce that you met someone who made your panties damp, and then demand that everyone congratulate and toast you for it. Then, because no amount of attention is enough attention, yank your sister from the party you effectively ground to a halt, and demand that she validate your choice of panty dampener. And if she doesn't get upset, be a bitch to her until she does. Because you can't spell victim with A-M-E-L-I-A.

I know some people are having a really good time right now (Andy stans out here thriving, living their best lives 🤣), but for me, these episodes were nothing but boring filler. No actual conversations about anything fun or interesting (other than Hamish being hilarious). It was just: Grace whinges about Ozzy, Amelia apologizes for things she's def going to do again, people bring up Eliot like we were in love, and CA boys ask if you've changed your mind in the last ten minutes since you rejected them. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

The sad thing is, if you removed Amelia from the equation, this season could have been pretty fun. Especially the dumping. But because none of Amelia's drama/behavior is allowed to be resolved, it's dragging YOUR story to a halt with pointless, tedious distractions about her, a character you're not really allowed to know in any way beyond vague nostalgia.

The forced relationship is awful. It would be better if you could have started and maintained a path of either indifference, friendship, or antagonism with her. But all you get is a grey wasteland where she behaves like a complete shithead and you really have no way to address it beyond a tiny, petty emotional outburst that she promptly brushes off, and then a moment later the game forces you to act like none of it ever happened anyway because 💞SISTERS 🙄. I literally said I don't forgive her and I didn't bother saying I loved her when I left, but now suddenly we're besties again? Noooooo.

Do you know what could have been fun? If the double trouble wasn't about MC and her twin, but instead, Amelia is your estranged childhood best friend. And the relationship ended over someone you both developed feelings for. So now, you can choose the path of liking or not liking her without the manipulative "but she's family" angle. It'll be based on actions and behavior. In this imaginary season (that has actual branching), on the first day, when the girls ask about your first love, the way you answer it would determine your story with Amelia. 1. My first love and best friend fell for each other and I lost them both (path of forgiveness and friendship where Amelia wants to make it up to you and supports you without hoovering up your scraps). 2. Found out my horrible childhood best friend slept with my first love and never even apologized (path of antagonism where Amelia steals your LI's). 3. My childhood best friend and I fell for the same person. It was complicated and no one ended up happy. (Path of indifference or maybe a mixed path with some drama and some friendship depending on how you react to her).

The upside to this will be if Amelia cracks on with someone you like or want to get with, there wouldn't be the unpleasant vibe of, wow, this persons genitals have rubbed on mine AND my sister's. Which, I mean, the drama and smut of it is interesting, but it doesn't really lend itself to a fairytale romance scenario.

This could also streamline the story because what if Amelia was the obstacle in the slow burn path to Ozzy instead of Grace? Reliving and reversing what happened in the past, giving us the opportunity to heal and grow and form strong new bonds while we handle things better this time around...

ORRRRRR, we could be or be people who joyously refuse to learn any life lessons and make everything much, much worse just for funsies.

Either way, what a fun season that would have been. Sigh.

Well. That sure was... something.

Huh.

S6 SPOILERS AHEAD

I'm not even mad, I'm just flabbergasted. Fusebox took the best thing they did in the last four seasons (the surprise dumping) and completely squandered it. It's almost impressive in how just how wrong they could get things. The whole lead up should have been the dropped jaws when everyone saw us return. Instead, they were like, yawn, nice to see you or whatever. Saw you in the postcard.

WHO. THE FUCK. MADE THIS CHOICE? What? Why? It's so fundamentally unsatisfying. This is our popularity fantasy. We should have walked in like shock and awe. But we didn't. It just undoes so much. Now, we don't know if R/R/L/J stuck because they were being loyal despite us being gone, or just because they knew we were there? And I'm positive the only reason they did this is so we'll find out later that Ozzy didn't switch because he knew MC was back and wanted to be with her instead. Oh man, the poor Ozzy girlies. I was one, then I went back and did a loyal Lewie route instead, but I feel for you.

Also I want it known that in the villa fic I'm writing, I 100% called that Ozzy and Grace would be getting back together. Because why wouldn't they? Fusebox continues to self-cannibalize S2, copying and pasting most of Hope and Noah's scenes on top of Ozzy and Grace's. Right down to the cake Nope couldn't decorate together and fought over--which was a metaphor for their relationship. Grozzy had pretty much the same scene only it was a dog house they metaphorically couldn't get on the same page with.

I have so many thoughts (and complaints about Amelia), but I think I'll do a separate post for that.

*DRAMATIC SIGH*

S6: Welp, here we are again.

Oh Fusebox. I don't know how to feel anymore. You're the Ozzy to my MC. I have no idea what you're doing or why, and sometimes it seems like you've got your shit together and then other times, it seems like you're pure chaos.

I'm gonna start with the worst stuff, because let's face it. No one is reading this to see what I LIKED about these eps. Every time Amelia pulled me aside for a chat.

When Eliot thought I stuck for him, despite telling him I was in no way interested before CA and that I wanted Lewie.

When I realized they weren't going to let me spend the night with Lewie.

When Roberto behaved so completely out of character at the gym, I thought I was playing the wrong game.

When Ozzy went on and on about missing me during CA, despite me telling him I only wanted to be friends, and I had to tell him he was being a bit much.

And a few seconds later, when Ozzy admitted to a three-way kiss after knowing I was at CA.

Witnessing Grace's childish hypocrisy and suddenly remembering that she's twenty-seven years old.

When Grace dug Amelia the fuck out and Amelia had a tantrum because people were "telling her what to do."

When Marshall proved himself to be the shithead I warned Amelia he was, and completely ditched her after she jumped in to defend him.

Right before movie night, knowing that I was an angel, but also knowing everyone else wasn't.

Every single time Flo stepped in to play mediator, so I didn't have to relive the worst part of S2 and spend every second trying to solve everyone's problems.

When everyone was impressed with me shutting down Ozzy in the film clip, but it was my second play through, because in my first I snogged Ozzy every damn chance I got, including in front of Grace. And I snogged everyone else who wanted one as well, including Marshall. And I let Andy go down on me.

When Lewie, my sweet golden retriever, was nothing but ecstatic to see me, and told me he didn't want to waste time being jealous. He just wanted to spend time with me.

Look at that. Ending on a positive note!

S6 Reactions: HR Challenge eps

Alright, so this was... pretty good? Sort of? I don't know man. Real mixed bag. But if you are a member of the We Hate Amelia Club (of which I am treasurer), then you probably had a really good time 🤣

Okay, so onto my reactions. Spoilers ahead!

Every time Amelia went on about Toby.

When the girls cheered as I made out with Lewie during my dance.

When the girls went awkwardly silent while Amelia made out with Toby during her dance and then asked her to stop.

When Marshall didn't dance on Amelia and she had a tantrum about it, so he publicly pied her the fuck off.

Every time someone was low-key to high-key mean to Amelia for the entire volume.

Every time Amelia pulled me aside and tried to give me advice or support.

Every time one of the boys gave me a longing look.

When the game suckered me into spending way too many gems on lingerie because I completely forgot that Elliot existed and was the person I was sharing a bed with, not Lewie.

When Roberto has a completely out of character Hamish-esque tantrum as he was being ejected from the villa.

Every time Grace asks whether she should get back with Ozzy.

When Marshall made Grace's heart rate beat the fastest, something I had written into my WIP before these episodes.

Every time I had a sweet conversation with a guy who wasn't Lewie.

When Lewie told me that he fell for me and wants me to meet his nan, and dreams of us having a house and dogs and walking on the beach.

When we had pool sex.

Overall I had a good time. And I'm sorry to anyone who likes Amelia. These episodes probably weren't nearly as fun for you as they were for me.
