We made it! I feel like we just graduated and now we're heading to the big leagues. I've had a smooth sailing journey to get here, so I'm finally ready to take off the gloves and get a little dirty.
Last immunity challenge was so crucial not only to me, but to all of us Serpents because after Minerva was gone, there was no more easy boots. No more inactives. If we had lost, that tribal council could have gotten a bit messy. Not nearly enough messy as the other tribe, but messy enough were we would be coming to the merge fractured. But coming into this merge, I feel really confident about my standing in this game. Maybe not long term, but at least for these first like two votes at least. Which are the famous last words of the merge boot, but I think there's so much animosity between some of these people that I would be very surprised if I was booted. You have Gilderoy and Mira beefing for god knows what reason, same with Draco and Amos, and then there's Ron who was apprently flip-flopping last round and has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. So if I were to be voted out under those circumstances, that would be pretty tragic.
I just want to clarify something! I thought this challenge was supposed to be like Blackjack, but I guess I was wrong :shrug: But for real though, I think me doing as terrible as I did is great. I wasn't even trying to throw, I just had zero idea what I was doing. But it worked out amazing, and Angelina who was probably sitting pretty anyways, so I have options.
So what will happen this round? I feel like the drama from last round will most definitely spill into this one. At first I was a bit crushed about seeing him leave, but after some of the stuff I heard about him, I can't think of a better outcome. Apparently he like, laid his targets out on the table at tribal and guess who was on that list. Yours truly. He's one of those people that just wants to make the flashy move, and I don't even think I would be a flashy move, but he as basically going after everyone he thought was on the contender's list, regardless of how much they could help him, which is ridiculous. I even brought that up to Amos tonight, and he didn't deny it. So, have fun with Minerva and Albus on the pre-jury trip!
Speaking of Amos, I think I actually made a lot of progress with him today. I told him I wanted to stick with him, and that's all it took! At first I thought he was just telling me what I wanted to hear, but then Angelina told me about how he mentioned to hear that we had just had a really solid conversation and like feeling good about where we stood with each other, so now that's one more person I think I have in my corner.
Lily on the other hand is just... I don't know man but I don't trust her. We went from having a normal conversation to like, her telling me like. "Omg hi I want to work with you! How do you feel about Fred, Cormac, Lockhart, Angelina and Amos? That would be a solid majority!" Like girl, slow your roll. I appreciate the thought, but it's too much. She's too much. But I will play nice with me because I don't think she's out to get me right now, but I don't want her too long on this game.
So, what is the word around tribe camp concerning this tribal? Well the names that seem to be popping up are Gilderoy and Mira's to the surprise of absolutely no one, and then Newt and Ron. According to Gilderoy, Lily is pushing for Ron to go which I'm having none of. I haven't mentioned it enough because, well I've been a confessional flop so far, but Ron is so far my favorite person on this entire cast and probably my #1 in this game, and I think the feeling is mutual, so I will fight for him if I have to, but he's not leaving this round. I'm not letting it happen. And then there's Fred who threw out Newt's name to Gilderoy, which I would be thrilled to see go. We finally had a fun conversation this morning, but most of the times he's a snooze, and that's when he decides to show up. So right now he would be my ideal target, but then after speaking with Fred myself, he seemed a bit skeptical about the whole situation.
Right now I'm not too focused on who should go, but mostly on how I can set myself well for the future. I already solidified my relationship with Amos, I get along with great with both Gilderoy and Ron, Angelina I'd like to think has my best interest at heart, Fred is also maybe a potential ally of mine, but our relationship isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. My next goal is to try and get in cahoots with Maxime who I love, but I think I'm well set already that I should be fine. The only thing that could fuck things up are idols but I'm gonna try not to worry about them for now.
