LITG MAX: A BOARD

I have too much to do, not enough time to do it and I'm solving that by avoiding everything. Because that always helps! So I made a board for my sweet babboo, Max. I love him madly and I will definitely, most likely, assuredly, probably, maybe not cheat on him with Theo**. **Statement not guaranteed.

I recolored the model's eyes because Max's are hazel and the model's were blue.

Season 8 Thoughts:

I haven't said much of anything about the new season because I have very little to complain about, and honestly, I'm only funny when I'm complaining. But I figured I should say that I love it. It's messy. It's frustrating. I love the guys. I love the girls. I love the friendships. I'm rooting for couples even if I like someone in that couple. This is the first season where I'm genuinely ecstatic to do the wlw routes. Claudia is so freaking hot and lovely. Bea is a sexy sass queen. I want Hazel biblically (though I'm pretty sure she's not an option).

My complaints are pretty minor overall (and thus are pretty boring):

As always the clothing options are... questionable, and we got the worst dance outfit as per usual.

The dance scenes are particularly bad. What's with all the finger sucking? And what the hell was Theo doing squatting and popping up? I can't even visualize what that was supposed to be 🤣

Poor Hari. I like him, but his sprite is not it. The way his mouth is drawn it looks like he's always talking through clenched teeth.

I wish Sienna was a little more developed. The guys keep saying she's fun but we've never experienced it. It would be nice to see what they actually like about her.

My biggest frustration is that they've still never figured out how to handle love triangles and break ups. The characters always break up and then act like they never broke up. It's weird for your LI's partner to dump them because LI said they liked you, and then act confused about why the vibes are off in their relationship. It doesn't feel intentional, like it's meant to be messy, as much as it feels like a failure of the branching to give us a distinct route.

That's kind of it, though. I'm sure I have a few more nitpicks but overall the heat is back and so is the romance. I honestly haven't had this much fun with a season since season two and that's high praise. I wouldn't say it's as great as two. The branching will simply never be that good again because the platform they use can't support it. The characters also had more complexity back then, because the season was longer and it was all scripted by humans (though I'll admit, I'm happy to not have as much filler now we did back then). That said, this one IS great. I'm living for the romance, and for the first time in the entirety of the game, I'm living for the messiness! Emel is the worst, but I also love her? I'm genuinely struggling with my choices too, which is fun.

Oh and Theo... sigh. I never do the love triangle routes. I have no patience for them or for wishy washy pixels. I liked Ozzy but I stopped doing his route mid game because I couldn't deal with the frustration of it. But I am EMPHATICALLY HERE FOR THEO AND I WILL FIGHT CLAUDIA IN THE STREET FOR HIM (AND THEN MAKE OUT WITH HER). I fell hard for Max and dumped him the moment Theo showed me some attention. They really starved us in the first half with him, but now... no crumbs, baby! The way Theo stopped the sexy talk for a romantic conversation about the future and how he says he believes in us so much and wants to travel together so we can be his muse, and the way he said he's falling for us. And the way he ASKED, HE FREAKING ASKED if he could touch us. I AM A PUDDLE OF MELTED HONEY. PLEASE TURN ME INTO BAKLAVA.

🥺🥺🥺

Fusebox is starting to annoy me with choices like these honestly… where’s that secret extra option called “I’m not sure?”

after reading this and playing today's volume, i've been thinking about the layout for the rest of the season.

so i might be forgetting someone but i believe our MC is the 3rd wave of bombshells this season. sophie being one, and brad n christy being the other. which means we'll MAYBE have another bombshell wave then casa then the last round of bombshells then finale. and yk a good bit of drama between all that 🤭

but what im EXACTLY trying to figure out is how long until casa. there's 14 volumes total and four have been released. so i think there will be a minimum of 4 vols between the stick or twist ceremony and finale, which leaves 6 volumes for now to casa.

so im thinking since next weeks volume is excess baggage, theres gonna be smtn that MIGHT cause a rift between the MC n their LI then the next volume will have bombshells and probably dates w them with a recoupling at the end. then im thinking the whole casa experience will be 3 volumes, and then the next volumes will be the aftermath of casa and then gearing up for the final.

anyways. im so excited for excess baggage, i think its my favorite challenge tbh

LITG S8 Spoilers

Disclaimer: Fusebox doesn't upload anything for future episodes anymore - no sprites, no outfits, no backgrounds, definitely no Casa Amor postcards. Booooo!

But I was going through the document I found during S7 which lists the S8 islanders names, and I'm kinda mad I didn't do this the first time I found it, because I found some additional info.

It's just crumbs, really, but it's better than nothing, right?

Spoilers under the cut!

Okay, we already know who the OG boys/girls are:

Theo, Oakley, Jin, Jack / Emel, Sophie, Luna, Claudia

Now I can confirm the Casa Amor boys are:

Kyle, Liam, Max (Emilio), Shawn

And the Casa Amor girls are:

Shannon, Hazel

All the Bombshells are:

Tyler, Hari, Bea (Beatrix), Logan

It's not really anything new, but we can draw a few conclusions. There are currently 4 couples, and there are 4 CA boys, which means of course there will be 4 couples going into Casa Amor. We don't know when the next bombshells are coming or if we're getting 1 or 2 (my guess is 2 - Hari and Bea, with Logan coming in later a la Toby), but for every bombshell that comes in before Casa, someone's gonna get dumped. One in, one out - two in, two out.

And with two Casa Amor girls staying in the villa that means two boys are switching. Which ones? We don't know, of course. I wouldn't be entirely shocked if MC's partner switches just because they have to do *something* a little different from previous seasons... at which point maybe the Theo/Claudia route opens up? Hmm... Just speculating, of course.

One final note is that it does seem like we'll be getting the heartrate challenge and Snog, Marry, Pie again - but those have become season staples so that's hardly a surprise. Oh, and don't be surprised if the box of "goodies" in the Hideaway makes another appearance...

not going to lie. im really liking season eight so far. JIN HAS ME IN HIS GRIP ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

im geeking out for each volume tbh. like im so excited to see where it ends up going.

i feel like theres a lot of mystery to this season yk? like if u look at all the seasons (excluding 1-3) their title tells u a bit abt the story!

bombshell -> youre a bombshell ‼️

ex in the villa -> YOUR EX IS IN THE VILLA

double trouble -> lil less obvious but when u play the first volume it makes sense, twinnem in the villa🤞

stick or twist -> youre a casa girl

BUT TEMPTING FATE ?? im not much of a thinker tbh so i cant even formulate into words what i think it means yk? like maybe theyre running out of new tropes but i love the title even if it doesnt necessarily foreshadow the season itself, its a fire title imo
