Realistic portraits of S3 islanders
1. Girls
Would love you to do Rafi and Lily, since they're interchangeable love interests/rivals.
I can do Rafi and Lily together on this post for you!
Season 3 is so hard to play through. Why? Rafi and Lily. The part of the season where they come in makes me so uncomfortable. The game forces your MC to be attracted to them, and how strong both Rafi and Lily come onto you and your LI makes me soooo uncomfortable. "I would never forget your name." Do me a favor and don't speak to me. At all. And you can't even have a fucking conversation with your LI. If you switch to Rafi/Lily, your LI is caught off guard (though they shouldn't be). You should be able to sit them down and tell them their behavior is unacceptable. You should be able to say to your LI afterwards "You didn't deserve this chance, but I'm giving it to you anyway. You need to gain my trust again." It feels like gaslighting when your LI tells you they were never interested in Rafi/Lily, because they clearly were. The writing doesn't leave it up for interpretation. With how strongly Rafi/Lily comes onto your LI, they SHOULD NOT be allowing it, not if they're actually committed to you. And stooooop forcing me to speak to someone pursuing me who I've made it clear I'm not interested in. GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SHUT THEM DOWN COMPLETELY. I shouldn't be forced to play nice. I don't want to play nice. I don't want to be petty and compete with Rafi/Lily for my LI's attention, I shouldn't be expected to. And at this point it's the LI that's been snubbing you or the LI that's been relentless in reminding you how horrible this arc is. You can't go for anyone else. It's bullshit.
rewriting boat party: day 1
i decided this shit show needed some corrections, and i can't stop thinking about what i would do, so i'm gonna have (roughly) 5 posts with everything i would change, starting by day 1, the most important setup for the entire event.
li x mc, the fight
i would have three different storylines to give the 9 li's, divided according to mc's personality and reasoning to fight for good. later on each li's individual motivations would be revealed.
1. for tai, aj and rafi: mc's stressed out about work/fame, so the li's joke too much to avoid the thing that's really bothering them.
2. for bill, yasmin and ciaran: mc's pushing her partner to take on more projects while doing more for herself. they storm off because they don't feel seen or heard.
3. for lily, camilo, harry: mc just wants to just enjoy some time with her partner but they're always distracted with something, especially in the last few weeks. it sparks a fight because they've been pretending to listen to what she says. mc is the one who storms out and stays somewhere else.
bff x mc
you call your bff and they advise you to not try to patch things up before some time has passed, because right now you two need to think about what you want from this relationship so there's no confusion next time you talk.
"and i told them the same thing, so..."
"you talked to them?!"
"they called... and i answered. but i really think you two should really think about what you want from each other before trying to talk."
after a few days from the bff dialogue, your phone rings with elladine's text, and almost right after your li sends a text checking on you, asking if you want to meet and talk about it. three options:
1. we were right, we need space
2. we can meet today
3. we can talk it out on the boat
if you choose to meet that day, the encounter will be pretty brief because you're not ready to talk calmly.
on the boat
the event is about to start, and you would be able to pet kerry for free, FIRST OF ALL.
meeting your li there after an attempt to patch things up just the night before would be far more awkward, and given no one told elladine about the fight, there are no more empty rooms. the li will have to share that one with mc.
"it's fine, we can take turns on the couch or something."
"great."
when reunited on the boat, people start noticing things aren't as smooth as they could be, and your bff comes in to ask you how are things after you didn't take their advice and met your partner last night.
"wait, how did you...?"
"come on, i'm your best friend, i knew you were gonna be stubborn. do you want to meet later to talk about it?"
"it's a date."
paddleboarding: li x other people
it would make sense for them to want to make mc a little jealous, to see her reaction. childish? absolutely. that's what i want, because otherwise there are no real stakes here.
whoever the person is they have no idea about your fight but they're interested in mc's partner, enough to make some innuendos. and yes, the li will be accepting of those.
now it makes sense for mc to want to play the same game OR to be the bigger person and keep everything friendly.
back to the room mc will come at them, talking about the paddleboarding portion. if she chose to be touchy with her paddleboarding partner:
MC: "you think i didn't notice what you two were doing?!"
LI: "we weren't doing anything more than you were."
MC: "you... you know what? i'm out of here!"
if she wasn't touchy with her paddleboarding partner:
MC: "you think i didn't notice what you two were doing?!"
LI: "we weren't doing anything wrong! it's a physical activity, of course we touched each other!"
MC: "you... you know what? i'm out of here!"
she grabs her things and looks for her bff. their partner wants to help but doesn't know how, so they leave. there's a hint of jealousy of how much time they're already spending but they don't say anything.
a dialogue with the bff happens and mc tells them about the fight.
"well, you can't stay in the same place together? how's that gonna work?"
"i'll sleep by the pool, i don't care. i can't see them right now."
this is the end of day 1. i would keep a lot of the dialogues, everything from the podcast, the other islanders and their stories, pretty much everything else would stay the same.
also, most of the buiding up they used for some characters is really not bad at all, it just feels like the resolution was rushed, so i'll be focusing on those.
S3 MC when her LI comes back from playing hide and seek with Lily/Rafi in tow:
You know what pissed me off most about Camillo forgetting my name?? My mc’s MF name is LILLY this season! He literally went “lily this is.... “ BITCH WE HAVE THE SAME DAMN NAME!!
Like I know fusebox doesn’t know that, but imma be a petty bitch about it anyway.
Fusebox really gonna look us in the eyes and tell us our LIs stayed loyal when we ALL witnessed the betrayal of them forgetting our names, the constant blushing and looking guilty, not knowing who to pick for ‘Who’s hotter?’, the slide where Rafi/Lily comes and tries to grab them away from us, the thumb war section (basically just holding hands let’s be real). ALL THE GLANCES.
You’re really gonna tell me we had our hearts shattered for them to turn around end of day 10 and say they only want us and made it CLEAR that they weren’t interested... All I’m saying is shit ain’t adding up here and my trust is frazzled.
