I was doing yearly phone backup on pc and found out I have 5 THOUSANDS of screenshots (almost 5300 actually...) from Love Island The Game 🤡 90% of them are from Season 2, and most are from Lucas playthroughs with a few from Henrik, Bobby and Noah. Early days I think I did 4 playthroughs consecutively and realised welp, I'm obsessed and from then on my LITG era started LOL

Unfortunately I stopped taking screenshots regularly after that because I realised this game won't be going anywhere and I can just play it anytime I want 😂 WHAT A TIME HUH

I guess this post is the start of my LITG S2 archive for old players like me (pacifically Lucas girlies) who are mourning missing the old game/app. This game has a special place in my heart as it helped me through early lockdown. I'm sure many of you can relate 🥲 IT IS MISSING SEASON 2 HOURS 😭😭

so I'm going to start this with my most favourite Lucas scene. You get this scene on no-sex route, and iirc it was after final recoupling.

"I made a mistake when we were booking shows, I wasn’t looking into it. I don’t see the fucking point, right? I do not see the point of inviting The 1975 to a country and then telling us who we can have sex with. And I’m sorry if that offends you and you’re religious, but your government are a bunch of fucking [...] and I don’t care anymore. If you push, I’m gonna push back. I’m not in the fucking mood. I’m not in the fucking mood anymore. I saw a TikTok the other day where I picked up a child that I love who’s a friend of mine’s child. And I put them down. And there was a TikTok conversation about whether my finger placement was appropriate. So what, we’re just casually accusing people of being pedophiles now, are we? For entertainment? Is that what we’re doing? No? Well it fucking looks like it. I’m not having a go at you, it’s people filming this. It fucking looks like it. You don’t casually insinuate that shit. I’m not in the fucking mood anymore. Unfortunately you don’t get a set of loads of uplifting songs because I’m fucking furious. And that’s not fair on you, because you’re not representative of your government. Because you’re young people, and I’m sure a lot of you are gay and progressive and cool. So I pulled the show yesterday. I pulled this show yesterday and we had a conversation, we said “you know what, we can’t let the kids down because they’re not the government”. But I’ve done this before. I’ve gone to a country where it’s fucking, I don’t know what it fucking is - ridiculous, it’s fucking ridiculous to tell people what they can do with that [points to dick] and that [points to mouth]. And if you want to invite me here to do a show, you can fuck off. I'll take your money, you can ban me, but I've done this before and it doesn't feel good. And I'm fucked off."

Everyone in the tags of this is pissing me off so bad like congrats your guy did a white saviour coloniser DRUNK speech that was so incredibly self-important and only accomplished the following things:

Pissed off the people who were there to see him

Make queer people in Malaysia feel more unsafe and make them an even bigger target of hatred

Wow he took the money to play this show and did a whole rant about it that's so great for HIM. Is he gonna give the money to queer activism in Malaysia? There are people on the ground here doing that, trying to actually do something to improve the lives of actual queer people in Malaysia. Will he ever mention this again aside from making himself look like the hero? Un fucking likely.

There are queer people in this region doing their fucking best so that we can have the same rights as everyone else. The only thing he has accomplished is to make that even harder for the rest of us. Where was this energy when he was playing in homophobic states in America? Or is this only reserved for when he sees brown faces in the crowd?

Fuck Matt Healy. Fuck the 1975 and fuck every single person that rah rahs about this sort of performative activism without having to actual think about queer people in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. I hate all of you.

[snowoiive]

This whole situation has been pissing me off so bad.

Like, oh! Here comes the WHITE BRITISH MAN acting all high and mighty for even deigning to perform in our nasty, little third world country! Oh, he's doing us SUUUUUCH a huge service by mouthing off like a fucking idiot about laws and culture and history that he himself admitted to not having a single fucking clue about.

If he REALLY cared that much about queer Malaysians, why not actually give to the community instead of making this self-absorbed speech and shining unwanted attention onto us just weeks before state elections where the MAJORITY CONSERVATIVE politicians are definitely going to use this incident as an opportunity to suppress us even further?

I can already hear his defenders going, "Oh, that's not his fault! Blame the homophobes!" I ALREADY KNOW. But queer Malaysian activists have been making progress that is going to be set back by YEARS because of this stupid fucking incident.

Your (historically problematic) fave doesn't have to live through the repercussions of his little speech. Case in point: he and his bandmates fucked off in the middle of the night. So much for Rebel Rockstar Fights the Good Fight, huh?

But you know who does have to deal with the mess he's made? Actual living, breathing, queer Malaysians. So forgive us if we're not exactly happy.

Chapter 6 Part 1 Public Update 🎉

First of all: Happy Eid-ul-Fitr for those who celebrate it! I hope all of you have a good day so far!

Now, on to the Chapter Update! Chapter 6 Part 1 is 38.4K words long, which brings the total word count for the demo so far to 272.8K words!

This chapter was first planned to be only around 20K to 25K words long, but the amount of variations in this chapter is insane! But, at the same time, I'm pretty excited for you guys to finally see how the group will interact with each other for the first time!

Now, as some of you are probably already aware, what to expect from the chapter are:

Choose or create the group chat name for the team.

See how the citizens react to your actions at the end of Chapter 5.

See how the ROs interact with each other as you have your very first group meeting.

For those who flirted with multiple ROs, be prepared to see the ROs' reactions 😉

More sprinkles of Ash/Rin Poly flavour texts! 😍

Learn more information about the case and get ready for the next step in your hunt for the killer.

Have a conversation(s) with your RO of choice and flirt with them (if you want to, of course 😏)

What have been updated in previous chapters include:

MC's pistols are now changed from Desert Eagles to a variation of M1911.

Added an option for reader to skip the finger torture sequence completely in Chapter 5 (Skipping would bring you right to the part where the guy spill the info).

Added a little variation of flavour texts for MCs with kinky/coily hair during Chapter 2 shower scene.

Bug fixes and typos and grammar errors.

I'll start answering Chapter 6 Part 1 asks starting tomorrow and I'll tag them with #chapter 6 spoiler, so watch out for them if you haven't read the latest update and don't want to get spoiled! 😄

Also, please consider supporting me over on Patreon or Ko-Fi! 😊💖

Soooooooo probably the most asked question while I’ve been away (and since I’ve been back) is whether I could make the itch.io version of the existing Body Count demo public. I’d originally planned to do this with a bit more pomp, but fuck it, it’s live! 

It’s still the Prologue - Episode 3, but there are a couple of new scenes and little tweaks compared to the old Choicescript demo for those that haven’t seen the Twine version before. 

Play the Body Count demo on itch.io now!

Hang out with D and G at a café, and have a run-in with Felix! [it can be as cordial as you want, or a little hostile.]

Play a (mini) challenge match—against Deepal, Jacks, Max, or Akimi.

Find out if you’re officially in the Top 6 of Cargill's line-up! (meaning you’ll play in the singles matches during the season)

Short Sam POV scene <3

Pt. 2

Play two doubles matches—One with Tobin as your partner, against Rayyan and Jacks [Yes, you can beat Rayyan, at last!] And another with Rayyan as your partner against Tobin and Jacks!

Find out who your doubles partner for the season is! [Rayyan, Tobin, and Emerson are all possibilities, and they will all have their cliff-hanger-y reactions to the news.]

No points for guessing who is… not happy with the news. ((Yes, this is not a drill. The locker room scene is real.))

Extras

New chapter banners are up! (Let me know what you think—whether you love it or hate it, as I’m still toying around with the design!)

Skip matches (with a password once you’ve played the match once—sorry, I still haven't changed this to allow you to choose whether you won/lost)

Beast mode (where every choice you make will be automatically successful!) Password is: unleashthekraken

Earlier chapters have also been edited based on beta tester comments, and to streamline the content a little.

[sleepymccoy]

Guys, those options sound awful but yes I will try them next time I have a cold

You're just making me want soup, I'm so with you

Genuinely I don't know what hickory is, but I'm with you otherwise! Altho I think ginger is for nausea not fevers. Honey is so good

My ex house mate Taylor, I'm excited to show him this post cos he's so wrong about it. He has a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar every morning. He hates it every morning. He has more if he's sick. It's deranged

You're right but I think there's too much scientific and clinical agreement on that for it to be a home remedy, you feel me?
