so i opened up the new nanny affair book and why does sam look like a very VERY tan ethan i’m rIOTING. ik it’s the same art from the last book but i feel like my eyes have been opened or sum
STOSPSPSJS no cause i feel like they look alike because at the end of the day, ethan is literally just some guy if we think abt it and so is sam. all men fit into four categories and idk if this makes sense but sam + ethan r in the same.
Right so when will the UK get Matchmaker? All I want is to romance Rohan and not just at the Christmas reunion. Feel like that isn’t much to ask here Fusebox when the UK do give the best Love Island tv series content.
I hate Fusebox for making Chelsea hide something from her supposed best friend and making it seem like MC would be anything other than happy SHES happy
Also Chels isn’t treating Rocco well and I hate that for him
These are aspects of people that are affected by Discord’s new update to its color scheme and font, and there very well could be more I didn’t mention. Yes, you read it right, abled people and neurotypical people too. You are not immune to eyestrain.
What are the issues?
A font which is both overly uniform and overly squished, with many letters that have essentially the same silhouette as others and could easily be flipped and look the same as another.
▻ This is dyslexic-unfriendly, as well as generally harder to read and an issue for people with visual impairments who may find that letters bleed together or that their eyes ‘skip’ over letters or words at times.
A color scheme that is so highly saturated that it both immediately draws your attention and also makes you want to immediately look away.
▻ This is generally unfriendly, affecting people with sensory issues the most (ADHD/Autism, migraines, processing disorders), but it’s also colorblind-unfriendly. Due to the differences between the colors being exclusively the part that changes the named color (hue; “green” vs “blue”) instead of both that and the colors being different intensities (saturation; “neon green” vs “leaf green”), they look practically identical.
Aren’t there more? No. This is pretty much all that was changed.
Discord changed TWO THINGS and pretty much managed to land every single person possible to genuinely hurt with a visual design change that doesn’t add or remove any elements. Including abled and neurotypical people!!!
Discord is currently a good number of people’s lifeline and way to connect with others. And with this change, they just made using their app hurt. They know that we can’t leave their app without leaving our friends and communities behind. They know that if they can just sweep this under the rug, they won’t have to do a thing.
...So we can’t let them.
Why would Discord do this?
It’s actually fairly simple. Discord was hemorrhaging money from its very conception. Discord only exists because investors think it’ll make money in the future. If Discord doesn’t do as well, investors will push to make it “better” or they’ll drop their funding. Discord was probably forced into this situation, they probably knew exactly what would happen.
We have to show their investors that Discord was right.
What can we do to fix this?

Images that show some of the changes:
[Two screenshots of the Discord icon on an IOS device. One is a cool indigo gradient, the other is a solid, brightly saturated indigo.]
[The words “gaming central” twice in Discord’s new font. One is bold, the other is not.]
[The words “reddit fart reddit smell” in Discord’s new font. Underneath, the highly saturated indigo as seen in the icons, stretching across the screen to indicate new messages.]

I won't post all of it, as most of it was just filler, but here is the main bits from the phone call if you chose Hope. First of all, this is such bullshit. Hope was the heart of the Villa (even me as Noah stan will happily acknowledge that her and MC were the main girls), and someone would have asked.
So the reason she couldn't make it is because she's on a spa retreat, which you know, good for her and all that. But if this is the only time we get to see her in CMM... couldn't they at least have given her a new outfit? LIKE COME ON IT ISN'T THAT HARD
Also, and this is what is really starting to piss me off: let the characters MOVE ON! No way would she still let those few weeks in the Villa affect her so much. Her and Noah were infatuated with each other for two weeks! It's been over a year! LET HER BE HAPPY
Hope deserves so infinitelly better, and this was just not it ugh
We did get a little call out to all the people on the subreddit and somewhat here calling her names and being generally awful, but again she should NOT STILL BE APOLOGISING. She gave a lovely apology to my MC at the wedding, they're now clearly friends, WHY keep bringing it up as though it's still an issue?
Honestly (and I'm not even her biggest fan)? JUSTICE FOR HOPE
hey, just finished today's episodes, midst yawns. (yes, due to the game, how did you knowwww???)
anyway, here's the... um... list? idk, this shit is about to be over next week, thank goodness, so let's just... talk about it.
° escape room was pretty cool, but if you go for the crackhead options it gets better. (every time something doesn't make sense, go with those, even on guessing the riddles. chelsea cannot believe how stupid my mc was).
° chocco (@gin-o-clock that's the best ship name in the fandom) is a reality, and it was mc catching them on the act. wish it wasn't so predictable, but here we are again.
° i saw the screenshots of the calls with hope and shannon and like- for the millionth time, no ❤. they were paid and that is unaccetable.
° at least the married mc's had the call with their spouse (?)
° AGAIN, WHY THE CLOTHES? did i dress up as a mummy? yes, yes i did, but because i thought people would make comments about it... AND IT WAS FREE. what does mummy have to do with all this? i don't know.
° which takes me here: i was thinking why are all the characters dressed up in clothes from different eras, but hey, this is chelsea's party. if i can't make a decision about one thing i just go with all of them. it seems she shares my philosofy.
° rocco seemed really into chelsea but the way she treated him wasn't on, so i'm still "chelsea would never" about it. not the relationship, just the way she told him to 'shoo'. he actually seems to be more mature and very into her, so like, yay (?) (still think the theory about chelsea being aro makes more sense).
° seriously, go with the crackhead options on the escape room, otherwise you'll be bored.
° i understand carl not showing up because if you weren't with him he wasn't even in the villa, but like, HENRIK??? he would fit in perfectly with this scenario and have all the delayed insights because he's a himbo ????
° i did see different people die today, so i guess that's... due to... i don't know. because i definitely don't have a high score with lottie. is it the low score? because if it is it makes sense, but who knows?
i would say what i hope for next week but at this point why bother?
and i didn't hear a peep from lucas today, which well... not cool. but didn't expect anything more.
as you can see from these, nothing really happened. just like last week. if there was a different approach about the characters and the story, i would probably care about a second person dying and who the killer is, but like-
- MC needs more consequences for being rude. idk about you guys but if someone leaked my secret I would've been mad
- I hated that they were all happy-go-lucky about MC spilling the beans after like 5 lines
- the escape room was a nice laugh tbh (even if I didn't sign up for it) and I STILL recommend y'all to try to throw the phone away. Chelsea's reaction is priceless
- I feel like there was a missed opportunity for the phone call. it was paywalled unfortunately BUT if your LI didn't show up I feel like you could've called them as well. heck I would've been okay with the same dialogue for all the other LIs.
- but based on screenshots I'm glad they didn't copy and paste dialogue for Hope and Shannon
*spoilers below the cut*
- Chelsea & Rocco are now higher on my sus list since her and Rocco were the first ones there. I feel like Marisol could've murdered Bobby but it was definitely someone else for the 2nd murder
