This might be my favorite picture from this weekend tbh. It's just the boys-Sykk, Ray, Tony, Blau- but you can tell how close they are from this photo. How much they trust each other.

It's such a quiet but sweet moment and Britt shared it with us. I can't wait to hear stories but I'll be sad when everyone goes home.

Vegas night 2 fit check! Sykkuno was wearing Blau's hoodie and Tony's boots but please let him keep those.

We got a lot of pics and videos and some highlights were:

-Ray, Leslie, and Sykkuno having a just woken up dance party is their fancy bathroom and Sykk was just leaning against the shower on the phone. (They were dancing to Shivers by Ed Sheeran which tbh is totally Conan's POV of the early parts of NSIWTD)

-They went watch shopping together!

-Fit checks IG stories were fun.

-They took a limo to the club and jammed out to a few songs. Hot Demon B!tches Near U was one. They played Sheldon's Song for Buddha. And they absolutely blasted Empty Beds.

-I don't care about this but Tony and Blau got fried from smoking together and people were laughing about it and they were just hanging around together.(Brit said Blau wasn't kidding when he played the I can take your man song)

-Leslie was keeping Sykkuno company in the corner and they were practicing hacking together!!!! In the middle of a club, Sykkuno and Leslie were hacking on their phones. Typical Sykk.

-Everyone had an amazing time. My twitter timeline is so much fun. Now, time to lose internet and set up the new router.

Oh! Blau leaked to stream that the five CB guys(Buddha, Sykk, Ray, Tony, and Blau) are legit haunting for CB Manor IRL! It'll be a shorter period of time, about 2-3 months, where they'll all live together in a nice house and I don't think it's for sure it'll be all five of them but I think that'll be amazing.

I just really want to admire how genuinely close they've gotten over the past... six months? Like Tony and Buddha go way back, and Blau, Ray, Sykk, and Buddha knew each other all to some degree pre-GTA/from Rust but think about it. In May the CB heist crew was still getting to know each other, Tony and Ray was heavy ERPing cheating on Kitty/Tori, Blau was CG through and through. They didn't have much of a group bond outside of those roles.

Fast forward several months, several variety nights and heists and off stream game nights(I think Blau just mentioned they played a game off stream), their bond is really strong. When they finally met IRL, it was the funnest times. Tony would fly out just for Blau's birthday. They had no issues getting lost in a pile of limbs or dancing together or just chilling together on a bed.

From an outsider's point of view, they seem like... Pieces falling into place. Like they're all pieces of the same puzzle and all their lives they were waiting for each other.

I think they'll all enjoy some good, solid time together. Without viewers prying into the people they are behind all the cameras. But yet, putting a time limit on it and maintaining their seperate residences still sound like a healthy decision before/in case drama ends up becoming too much.

CB Manor era will be so much fun! IRL content/barging into each other's streams/cooking streams/Abby and Britt and Tea(I assume)/the pets! Oh, there'll be Bear and Luna and Roku and Zuko!

(small) Photo dump of Saturday with CB! I love the bed photo(Besides that they're wearing shoes ON THE BED. Leave the shoes at the door you heathens). But also the 5/5 version of them in a circle, arms around each other is special, a call back to that Vegas club photo. Tony and Buddha are grinning.

But also the Sykk Buddha picture just looks like Lang and Yuno??? With Lang in a jacket and top(Pretend it's a suit jacket and button up shirt) an Yuno in a green shirt, Lang's arm around Yuno, hovering close. And the NVL twins(Blau and Sykk) with the fireworks behind them, wonder what havoc they could cause with all those fireworks lol.

THE FEMILY IS ALL TOGETHER!!!

They're just a tangle of arms around each other and funny faces(Like what is Sykk's face) but with grins and I love them. I love how close they've gotten recently, I know it means everything to all of them.

So glad Tony booked a flight last minute. He was just in LA for Blau's bday so he almost stayed home to stream.

(Also this is the first 2021 photo I've seen of Buddha. He never uses facecam or anything. Good to finally see him.

The boys!!! The boys are finally together!!!! And that’s all I have to say but they look good together!!!

GTA was a LOT today. I watched Tony until Sykk got on and then at some point I drifted away for a bit when the boys started to do house jobs since I just wasn’t feeling it but came back to watch some Yuno and April shanneigans(and the second drama of the day-Ramee and April yelling at each other in prison visitation while Yuno instigated. “Just friends” my ass. ). By the time Sykk ended stream, I was drained.

But CB. They took a way I didn’t expect. Things are a lot more gray and complex but that's exactly what I wanted and I'm excited to see RP be furthered over the next few weeks(Because they aren't brushing it over!)

When Tony and Lang woke up at the same time, there was a big meeting at the manor and Harry told them what happened and at first, they drew each other to the side and said they didn’t believe it. Then Tony remembered the Maldini’s incident and he had a horrible feeling it was true. They barely left each other’s sides after that, every meeting done together that day. Really sweet that they had each other. Lang was pissed at how many people already knew and told everyone to keep it within the family.

However, they agreed not to react until they spoke to Ray and Mickey. Along with Leslie(Rich Leslie, Nidas) and Harry, they went to the hospital to see Mickey, who didn’t remember anything after pulling up to the laptop spot. They went through the day with him, and the story matched up with what Harry and the others said. They-smartly imo- questioned Harry since he was so involved, and then Ray called. They went and met up with him, Leslie and Harry hiding.

Ray had the same mindset as last night basically. Remorseless. He thought he was in the right because Mickey had shown him no respect. And he had expected them both to understand why. Lang’s biggest thing was that he had killed and ocean dumped a member of the family without talking to anyone else. Without a vote. That was something that always should’ve been a discussion. Tony was more emotional, saying that had Mickey died last night? Ray would’ve robbed them ALL of their final good-byes. And they both felt like Ray disrespected the family-but all Ray cared about was that he felt that he was being disrespected and they should understand that.

They sent him away, and had a long conversation with Leslie and Harry. It was clear that Ray wasn’t mentally right and Tony suggested admitting him into Parsons-the mental hospital- and everyone agreed, but checked with Mickey first. He had been filled in by Egg and didn’t want to forgive Ray, and Tony agreed he would never fully forgive Ray for this. But, Mickey said that if the family decided to forgive Ray, he would as well. For the family. He’d do what Ray never did. Tony and Lang went back to Ray, made a gentle ultimatium, said that if he did’t get help, then there’d be serious concequences. But they wanted to see him get help. That sobered Ray up. I think that was when Ray started realizing he went too far. He went straight to the hospital.

When Yuno woke up, he wanted to boost, so he called X, then Ray. X didn’t answer, but Ray did. Said he was in therapy and to talk to Buddha. I actually think the first meeting was horrible, there was like 10 people and Yuno wasn’t getting much of the story but Lang pulled a much smaller group-Tony, Mickey, Yuno, Harry, etc- into his office. There, Yuno started asking questions-the only one who picked up the holes in Mickey’s narrative. He focused, though, on how Ray must’ve felt being kicked off the job and how shitty Mickey was and Mickey was like, I’m gonna stop you, I was in the right. It shows Yuno’s own messed up state and how much he values jobs imo. I also think they didn’t do much at all to show Ray’s mental state post-killing Mickey.

But the more I think about it, that’s okay. Because if Ray is going to change, he needs someone by his side. And Yuno 100% thinks Ray fucked up more, but that Mickey isn’t innocent. That he was pushing Ray. And he was.

Afterwards, Yuno and Lang took a drive and Lang asked how Yuno felt. Yuno told him this. And how that if a friend knows a friend doesn’t like a joke then don’t make it around them. Lang agreed. They talked about how Mickey still wasn’t showing any remorse or signs that he knew he needed to change. And if Ray was putting effort into changing, then they all had to admit where they went wrong and messed up, realize for good that Ray doesn’t have the same humor as them. And Lang said he couldn’t discuss this with the other boys. Lang really came around.

They went to go see Ray at Parson’s. I don’t remember a ton, but he had had a few therapy sessions and was really realizing what he did was wrong and wanted to change. He also very much appreciated Yuno coming and being there for him. And Yuno made no jokes-but with Mickey he did, because he knows what his friends need for comfort. Oh! Ray got recommended group therapy with everyone. I think it’ll be a long time before Mickey is willing to but I think that’s a very good idea.

I like what happened. Yuno/Sykkuno had a very good take on things and Lang was right, this is a marathon, not a sprint. This can’t be fixed in a day. This will take time and effort. I think getting Ray mental help was 100% the right call. It was drastic not in the kick him out way but in the he needs help. He needs to be locked away to get help and then we can start our road to recovery. And Ray is willing to change-Now Mickey has to realize he has to realize his faults in the past six months.

My view of the situation is much more gray and Ray leaning than 24 hours ago which is EXACTLY how it should be with good RP.
