Holy shit, they learned and are NOT stealing a vote on the journey? Was that so hard? #Survivor49

We're finally here at #Survivor49 and I'm hyped!

The Survivor 47 cast might be my favorite people on the internet. Because they keep hanging out together and Anika posts Tiktoks of them living their best lives, going to concerts and stuff as a wholesome group. It fills my heart with joy knowing they get along, even after all the blindsides. 🥹

You love to see it. #authorsky share.google/2PONobLdrwaT...

No one can actually say anything to me today, because my Aasimar confessed her feelings to our party's halfling ranger in common sign language, something she learned over the course of Act 1 because it's how the halfling feels most comfortable communicating. I fucking love #dandd man.

I got to explain the awful attempt at making Sailors Uranus and Neptune "cousins" in the 90s to a friend of mine, which put me back on this fantastic video. If you haven't seen it yet, Noralities does a great job dissecting queerness in magical girl media. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NClw...

The authors at Romancelahoma are all so sweet. It's genuinely nice being around the writer crowd.

What do you MEAN, Parvati shared an edit of her and Amanda with the caption "😭I miss us"? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? I am unwell. #Survivor

Learning a real lesson from the #Survivor and #Survivor48 tags over the season: People absolutely think they know more about the relationships on the island compared to the players on the island. I'm so glad Kyle shut up people whining that he didn't vote one ONE VOTE JOE.

THE CHAMP! Congratulations to Kyle for an incredibly well-played season pulling the strings from the shadows. And amazing job from Kamilla as a Number 2 working from the bench to lock things up for her bestie! #Survivor48

Okay, but "I'm one of the big dogs. I'm the one wearing the collar" goes hard. #Survivor48

Kyle: Joe and Eva are the most public duo in this game but I disagree that they’re the best duo bc I think me and Kamilla are the best duo in this game YESSSSSSSS KYLE IS PREACHING WITH THIS ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!! #survivor48

Okay, for all the faults of #Survivor48 THAT PAYOFF TO THE KYLE AND KAMILLA RELATIONSHIP. The set up was right there and Kamilla 1000% facilitated the PERFECT Kyle tribal moment.

One thing I do dislike about the #Survivor fandom is the habit of not seeing competitors as people. These people fucking like each other. They have friendships. We see a VERY curated edit of less than a month. And some of y'all are genuinely horrendous to people for an edit they get. #Survivor48

#Survivor48 Spoiler! Gonna make my case for voting out Mitch over Joe: That's how you lock David's vote. He made a big deal about "beating the strongest," so frame this as wanting to challenge Joe head-on because everyone knew he was the one to beat. Give David ANY reason and I think he takes it.

I get the complaints about this season and I have plenty of my own but I like the tone that this tribal had. It was kind of heartwarming. #Survivor48

I've never been proud of a stranger in the way I'm proud of Kamilla for pulling off that come from behind challenge victory. #Survivor48

Okay, I'm gonna be wrapped up in #Survivor48 for the next two hours.

Kyle & Kamilla have been playing a solid game that just isn't flashy. They didn't make big moves, but they facilitated sending home Shauhin and David, and this strategy brought both of them to the final 5. If their alliance got outed early, I don't think that happens. #survivor #survivor48

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS #survivor48

Survivor 48 SPOILERS I am so glad Kamilla and Kyle have carefully concealed this partnership to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BIG OR EXCITING WITH IT. Like, at what point do you do anything??? Sorry, I'm just really disappointed in them, Shauhin, and Mitch. #Survivor48

"Outloyaled" would have been a good alternate title for this episode. #Survivor48

Thank you to the Survivor Gods for delivering on everything I hoped for tonight. RIP, milkman. #survivor48 #survivor

I have an #authorsky question: Have you worked on multiple writing projects at the same time? Would that be too difficult for you to constantly be changing gears? Or if you do, does it help you avoid getting bored or stuck with one project? #writinglife

I can't stand: 1. People who carry themselves with delusions of grandeur. 2. People who try way to hard to give themselves a nickname. Anyway, in totally unrelated news, been watching #Survivor Tocantins. Good season with one obnoxious exception. #survivor18 #survivoroncbs #survivortocantins

Joe preparing to give Eva the greatest hug of all time #Survivor48

Dare I say....best pre-merge of the new era? #survivor48

eva :( i know what it feels like to get so frustrated that it just comes out in tears #survivor48

Well, now I'm sobbing. I had a feeling of what to expect this week, but this still hit me hard. I love Eva and Joe so damn much. #Survivor48 #Survivor

I'm so glad the 90 minute runtimes for #Survivor48 give us a chance to get some backstories and shared experiences between competitors. It really helps me get behind more of the players. Also, I could totally see the new #Vula Alliance going far.

I have notorious beef with the miscommunication trope. After waiting 5 hours for a plumber to show up, only to realize he arrived before my scheduled appointment when I wasn't here yet, and no one from Lowe's, the scheduling App, or his plumping company knew or said anything, I only hate it more.

I have a #dandd pet peeve: Are some people just allergic to making a character with any degree of investment in the story they're going to be a part of? I get reluctant heroes, but I have been in so many games with characters who don't want to be there and have no reason to be. #dnd #ttrpg #bskyrp

yesterday i saw someone throw a FRESH cup of coffee at a passing cybertruck. like pulled out of the dunkin’ donuts, stopped at a light next to it, threw the cup, and hit a u-turn to get back into the drive thru 😭😭😭😭😭

I have a perfect dumb little #orangecat who I love and adore named Marzipan, and my love for her is being tested by her need to headbutt my hands while I'm trying to write. I'm not good at typing at the best of times, let alone with kittycat intervention. #authorsky #orangecatbehavior #writinglife

Question for #fantasybooksky How do you feel about fantasy settings that use a different name for their humans? Is it distracting, or is it more distracting to arbitrarily have a race called humans at all? I feel like Dungeon Meshi struck gold with "tallmen," honestly. #authorsky #booksky

Finally getting to #survivor46 and (spoilersish) it's crazy how, after a certain point, one player goes from being an active character to a plot point that everyone uses to smoke screen other players. I've never seen someone's existence facilitate so many blindsides. #survivor

Our poor tiefling friend seems to have issues with his new nickname. 😢 Really do love this lovely art piece almost IMMEDIATELY after session one of our latest campaign. 🩵 #dnd #dndsky

I genuinely kinda hope this year can continue the Oscars descent into irrelevance. The nominations are all so bad, and the snubs for movies like Challengers and Nosferatu make no sense when they give 13 noms to "French man somehow misrepresents trans and Latine folks with tone deaf musical numbers."

When you’re a writer and used “eyes” too many times ✍️💙

Trans people are here to stay. No matter what, the world is and will continue to be a better and more beautiful place because it has trans folks in it. We are all going to keep fighting to live in a better world. Donations to the Transgender Law Center are open through the link for another 9 hours!

Protect the people around you who are vulnerable, and cut people who have proven they do not care about advocating for the safety or wellbeing of the marginalized out of your life. They've had time to prove what is important to them.

I had an interesting interview with @lexigreene.bsky.social from Draft2Digital about the sapphic fiction community today, and it was great to see their support for sapphic fiction & the LGBTQ community. If you missed the livestream, you can watch it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynHL...

The Transgender Law Centre works on supporting trans rights in areas like healthcare, employment, and immigration. They're trans-led and provide legal assistance, policy advocacy, public education. I've just donated and, if you can, I would recommend you do too <3 transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/

Me: I really want to buckle down and focus on my writing in 2025. Me: Have to commit and muster up my creative energy. Me, but the Green Goblin voice in my head: Also I should run and DM a D&D Campaign that vies for my creative energy. Me: Me: Me: Wait, what? #writinglife #lesfic #authorsky

I would've disagreed with this 6 years ago, but yeah. Might not go as far as 22, but I'm tired of shows running 6-8 episodes. It rushes the plot and doesn't leave time for character moments that let you connect to the cast. Not every episode has to be amazing to contribute to a fulfilling season.

Me every episode watching a season of #survivor with Jonathan Penner in it: I cannot stand this man. Vote this man out. Banish his arrogance and condescension to the abyss. Please just make him stop talking.

I thought the idea of getting Paramount+ was genuinely baffling. Then I got into Survivor as a hyperfixation. I'm pretty sure I'm writing my Survivor #lesfic romance to justify the subscription fees I'm paying as research costs.

Coming up with the character designs for the two female leads in this romance novel: Me: Morgan should be 5'1". Me: Yes. This is good. Me: And Winnie can be 5'7". No, 5'11". Me: Yes, I'm a genius. Listen, I like when one girl does tiptoes to kiss another girl. #lesfic

In a totally hypothetical scenario where I might be working on a #survivor inspired #lesfic romance novel about a showmance between a dorky superfan and a fan favorite: What are some title suggestions? I was thinking "All is Fair in Love and Blindsides" or even just "Love and Blindsides." #booksky
