So, after anon request i tried my best. Had to remove Uma’s and Summer’s hands from original pictures, cause we all know AI breaks when it sees human hands lol
Elliot fighting Roberto despite Roberto being 3x taller than him and Jamal trying to break them apart reminds me of that one scene in S2 where Gary says he had to step in before Bobby and Noah/Lurik started fighting
Alright, don't hate me for this, but I actually feel bad for Amelia. Firstly, no one's interested in her romantically (story of my life, and let me tell you, that really does your head in sometimes). Secondly, she's been put in the middle of drama multiple times now, for the sake of drama and/or for shaking her already somewhat shady/unsteady relationship with her twin. Thirdly, the guy that is supposedly head over heels with mc (in my game it was Roberto) goes on to kiss Amelia and then she has to act like nothing happened because she doesn't want to cause more drama for her sister, plus, he still acts all pouty around mc and looks disappointed when she doesn't pick him at the recoupling. Who's to say that Zeph didn't actually pine for Amelia the whole time he's been in a relationship with mc, and Amelia just had to watch that with pain all these years?? And now she has to see everyone in the villa swoon over mc, while she is, again, left in the shadow. I meannn, if I were Amelia, I'd probably cry all day or walk, ngl. So no, I don't want to be her enemy, we're siblings and I want us to be on the same team - I don't want any discourse between us, I just want to forget the past and for her to be happy in a couple with someone who genuinely cares for her.
Okay, new theory: Hamish is so used to pulling girls with his good looks that he made a bet with his friends that he’d be able to get a girl in Casa Amor even if he were purposely obnoxious or off putting, a la How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Okay you guys, I read something over on Reddit and now I can’t stop thinking about it… 🤡
More under the cut
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?!?!!
It kinda matches your first impression @crimswnred He’s so funny but I don’t even know if he realises how funny he is. Like, it doesn’t seem like he’s really trying to be funny, yk? And with all of the above in mind, I can honestly see him being this type of guy that’s so anxious and socially awkward, he tries his hardest to overcompensate by seeming like a macho. In a way, he tries to be similar to Marshall, I think.
And I actually know quite a few people who are like that irl. Arrogant, rude, way too direct, quick to ridicule you but when you get to know them and get to peel back the layers, that’s when it gets interesting. It’s the classic hard shell, soft core type of person - tough on the outside and so very soft on the inside. And it’s true that not everyone with anxiety issues is experiencing the “typical” symptoms like panic attacks and such…
Maybe there’s still hope for you @rebelrayne 👀 and I know I’m cruel for doing this to you (esp knowing how fb likes to fuck with us) but I’m honestly so hooked myself now. I’ve got such a soft spot for problematic, arrogant, rude boys 🤡
Making excuses for the LIs if they bring back a girl from Casa— an exercise:
I wrote 80,000 words to make Suresh’s actions make sense. I’m a professional when it comes to making excuses for mens bad behaviour. I can do this.
So without further ado, here’s what the LIs were thinking:
Jamal:
He’s never been serious with a girl before. That grand gesture was out of character for him, and then she just left the villa… and he was going to follow her out. Holy. Shit. He is panicking. He’s never had feelings like this before. He’s never felt this way about a girl before. He is freaking out.
He was going to follow her out on national tv. He was going to put himself out there like that, risk everything, potentially humiliate himself… and he is very, very frightened.
Cue Casa Amor. Meets Flo. She’s hot, she’s fun, and she’s absolutely not the kind of girl he wants to be with forever. He can go back to what’s normal- to the flings and short term options he’s used to, that he’s comfortable with. He’s in absolute denial about his feelings for MC, it’s way too much for him to deal with. He can’t be falling in love with a girl he’s known a few weeks.
It takes a few days at CA, but he’s starting to relax. Flo is easy. Flo is comfortable.
Until he gets back to the villa… and MC is there. Those feelings come rushing back.
There’s no easy way out of this one.
Ryan:
He’s always trusted the universe. Every major decision, every “vibe” he’s gotten from someone he’s met… the universe has always had his back. Damn, it led him to love island. It led him to MC.
When she leaves, he knows he has to trust the universe, but something doesn’t feel right. For the first time in his life… he wants to fight for it. He wants to leave with her, universe be damned. He’s never felt like this before, and he can’t take the risk that the universe won’t bring them back together. It would crush him. Ryan runs out the front door of the villa, telling her to wait, but he’s too late. She’s already gone. The universe wins again.
He arrives at CA, and the universe is telling him something. Flo. That’s been almost his motto his whole life. Go with the flow. Follow the music, go where life takes you. It’s a sign- it has to be.
It feels so wrong, but he chooses her anyway. There must be some reason for it- a plan or a pathway that he needs to follow. So he goes along with it.
But when he sees MC back in the villa… he makes up his mind. Universe be damned. He’s never letting her go again.
Lewie:
Lewie’s been set on her since day one. From the moment he met her, he kinda knew. There was something special about her, something he wasn’t going to find anywhere else. He was set.
But the thing about Lewie… he’s a little bit too… how would you put it? Nice. He’s always been a little bit too nice. A little too honest, a little too willing to step aside and not go after what he wants. He’s agreeable to a fault. Honest. Friendly. Loyal. He’s a team player, even if it means giving up his own shot at goal.
His grand gesture was the moment. He wanted to tell her how he felt. He’d found what he was looking for. He knew she wanted to be with him outside, she’d said so herself.
So why didn’t she ask him to leave with her?
He didn’t want to put pressure on her by just packing his bag. If she wanted him to, she would’ve asked. Wouldn’t she?
Casa arrives. Lewie’s still there. He’s sleeping on the daybeds. He’s loyal to her. The lads are telling him he’s an idiot. “She’s gone,” they said. “She didn’t ask you to leave with her, so may as well crack on.” It feels wrong. He knows what he wants. He still wants to follow her out, but with every passing day, it feels more and more stupid. Further and further away.
He’d blown it.
He’d had his shot with MC and he’d blown it. By not following her out, he’d made his choice. She’d never be interested now.
And along came Flo.
It felt wrong. It felt so awful and wrong, but she was a second chance. A chance to do things right. To try to form a connection with someone that would last. A chance to find someone he could bring home to his Nana. He didn’t feel the same way about Flo as he did about MC, but at this point did it even matter? He would never have a shot with MC again. She was gone. And even if he saw her again, she’d never want him.
… or would she?
Roberto:
He wasn’t planning on falling for her. He knew she was gorgeous, and he found her intriguing, but he never planned on having feelings this strong. Since the day he met her, he knew there was something special between them, and he wasn’t planning on letting her go.
But there was always the matter of distance.
Portugal is a long way from the UK. His job took him all over the world. He would never be the type of boyfriend who could be there when she woke up every morning, or be waiting for her to get home in the evenings. He would always be fighting with distance. And he knew it worried her. When she was dumped from the island, he was devastated, of course, but this gave him an opportunity.
What better way to show her that the distance would only ever be a blip on their radar?
Flo was only ever a strategic move. He knew that he had to make it through to the finale. He needed that £50k. Moving to the UK was expensive, and he’d need it. He was going to do it for MC, for the girl he loved, the one who didn’t care about his bad dancing or corny lines. The one who loved him exactly the way he was.
He was doing it for the money. He was doing it for her.
Ozzy:
He’d left it too late. He had one chance and he’d left it too late.
It would’ve been weird to follow her out, right? They weren’t even in a couple. One kiss and a few whispered conversations weren’t enough to figure out if you’ve found the one.
So why did he kind of want to do it anyway?
He was being crazy, he knew he was. There was no way he’d fallen for MC that fast, and from afar. He had to get his head back into the game. And the game was about to get complicated.
He knew she’d be watching at home. And he knew what her main concern would be. It would be the same thing she’d been worried about since the very first day.
Did he like Grace more than her?
There was only one way to show her.
Flo was great, but not at all his type. It was obvious they were just friends. And she was perfectly willing to go along with it.
He would bring Flo back to show MC that he was done with Grace. Even when MC wasn’t there, he was done. He’d sooner recouple with a girl he barely knew, bringing her back to the villa for her own shot at love. But he needed to make it clear.
Him and Grace were done.
Elliot:
Life is a game of strategy. Every decision, every choice, the result of a dice roll telling you how successful you’ll be.
And strategy was all he could do.
He liked MC. Really liked her. But when she got dumped, there wasn’t much he could do about it. He could’ve followed her out, but god, her original love interest was damn near chomping at the bit to do that. She looked so uncomfortable at the thought— he couldn’t put her in that position. She would feel obligated toward him forever, knowing he gave up his shot on Love Island to be with her after only a day? That was way too much pressure to put on a new relationship.
Even if it did feel like she might’ve been his endgame.
Casa Amor was a whirlwind, but he had a strategy as usual. He just had to bring a girl back. Last season had sent home anyone who was left single, and he now no longer had a partner in the villa. He couldn’t risk going home yet- the exposure from being on the show was too great. He needed this boost to his profile if he was going to get the money he needed to build a life for himself and MC— Err— for himself and the girl he’d end up with. So he had to switch.
Hamish Lennox-Ross doesn't do serious relationships. He had a plan– come on the show to appease his father, get dumped on purpose by being the most repulsive man possible, gain back his bank account. A fool-proof plan until Ava Connolly offers him something more. What's the saying? Don't hate the player, hate the guy pretending to be in a happy couple with your girl.
Fake dating is my kryptonite and this is no different it even has a villain fuckhead of a protagonist and you just know he’s gonna get what’s coming to him (aka fall in love) I seriously cannot wait for this one 😭😭😭😭
