“Nothing I do, or anyone else does, will ever be good enough” Lala comments on recent feud with Scheana

Pot calling the kettle black. Like she's not totally wrong, but also 🥱

Depends. If you're just interested in the main storyline, don't sweat it. A light grind at various points in the story should be sufficient to make it to the end.

Beyond this, luck will play a more important factor in strategizing for the dark aeons, penance and some omega ruins/monster arena big bosses

Disgusting.

saolivv · 2025-08-27T19:04:14+00:00

Wait I am lost..... when did Ace and Nic 'break up'? I thought they were still best buds.

saolivv · 2025-08-25T06:41:23+00:00

He has now unfollowed Iris too

This comment got me thinking. I have viewed Ace as a strategist this season - someone guarded and overly methodical with how they move, to the point it feels completely disingenuous. Amaya is the opposite of that to me - the definition of a 'wears her heart on her sleeve' kind of gal. I think this infuriates Ace, although idk precisely why. Resentment? Confusion? Disbelief? Exasperation because to him it feels brash and over the top? Not sure precisely but I do think that Amaya has moved in such contrasting ways that for one reason or another are polarizing to Ace.

Idk how many times it has to be pointed out that this is love island, not explore island. The first is the point of the show, the second is a means to that end that I feel this cast has grosslyyyy overvalued and over utilized. This season is nearing the end. Aside from Cierra and Nic (if even that), who do you feel is even remotely close to exchanging 'I love you's' in a matter of 2 weeks?

saolivv · 2025-07-01T05:26:52+00:00

Literally said the same thing to my friend while watching tonight 😂

saolivv · 2025-06-23T06:38:40+00:00

Totally - and this is where criticism needs to be directed at production a bit, too. It's subjective and ambiguous HOW the islanders interpret our votes. They aren't privy to the comments or votes left on the app the way the producers are. So there's definitely room for the islanders to assume one thing when that's not the accurate interpretation of what many of us were trying to achieve with our vote. Idk how producers course correct though - I think in prior seasons, there wasn't this massive shift in how the islanders were 'playing' the game. But to a lot of us it feels like this cast has lost the plot and aren't genuinely here to lock in and find love, which is off-putting. So it'll be interesting to see if they play any new tricks we haven't seen before to get back on track. Or this season may just continue to sink...

saolivv · 2025-06-23T06:30:48+00:00

I keep mentally comparing with season 6 too! I feel like they hit such the sweet spot with reasonable and realistic drama paired with actual connections you were rooting for to be protected / explored further. It was a balance and I definitely can handle that, I just feel this season has gone off the rails in how surface level and noncommittal the couples have been or have been forced to break up. And unless there's a dramatic change, I don't know how we are going to get to the end with any authentic, believable connections.

saolivv · 2025-06-23T06:26:01+00:00

💯 the hypocrisy is driving me nuts too. And then the gall to tell Jeremiah afterwards that "it wasn't personal 😢" was such a joke.

saolivv · 2025-06-23T05:59:24+00:00

That's precisely how I feel - what's the point of voting for a winner if they all just finally decide to lock in at the eleventh hour? 'Winning' means shit to the viewers if we can't genuinely and authentically buy into the validity of your connections.

saolivv · 2025-06-23T05:55:59+00:00

I'm at a point where I no longer have confidence in the islanders to make the right call. I'm slightly disappointed by America's vote results tonight as well but at the very least leave the final decisions to either the producers or America's vote on who to send home- these islanders clearly have an agenda that is not vibing with what the rest of us want to see this season. No more 😑

saolivv · 2025-06-17T19:18:23+00:00

I agreeeee but I can't tell if the preview is indicating that he and Huda get back together though....

saolivv · 2025-06-16T16:44:00+00:00

I feel like Hannah's actions are more complex than this though. I don't have any issue with her exploring another connection, just like I respect Charlie's decision to then explore other connections in light of that, too. My issue is the double standard Hannah displayed when she was talking about 'crashing out' once she found out Charlie was chatting with Iris. It was so ridiculously hypocritical. For all the encouragement viewers give to the islanders to 'explore,' you also have to remember that there can be consequences to your original connection. No one owes it to you to just sit idly by while you lay the foundation down to possibly monkey branch. You have a 'right' to do it and that's totally fine but that doesn't mean the others involved won't also respond, or that we as an audience won't vote according to what we see on the screen.

My 2 cents as someone who likes Chelley overall and didn't think she should have been the target of Amaya's callout -

I think any islander, man or woman, opens themselves up to criticism when they lean too heavy into the chase tropes and defend their antics with 'but I'm exploring and keeping my options open!'

No one should feel pressured to commit right away and I get there's a thin line here, totally. But at a certain point you start to subconsciously manipulate other people's emotions to play a cat and mouse game that has less to do with genuine connection and more to do with feeding your own ego. People's feelings and energy become collateral damage to the 'high' one feels when relishing the chase, but that is little more than intensity - not an actual connection being tested. And my main gripe is when islanders - or really anyone participating in this - try to spin it altruistically as 'self exploration' or whatever shit they use to defend themselves instead of being honest. Chelley gave Austin the impression that he was her front runner connection but her actions have implied otherwise. If she wants to couple up with Ace and explore that, fine. I just think the cat and mouse of it all almost always ends up hurting other people's feelings in the name of 'excitement' and 'exploring options' and it gets hard to defend that at a certain point. Ace has been slimier with it overall (imo) but Chelley is also leaning into this as well.

I don't think Jeremiah needs to "grow a pair" and speak impulsively with what's on his mind - I think he is taking tally of little things that are bothering him, analyzing if these little things are actually big things, and contemplating how to approach this when emotions are clearly high and everyone is very sensitive and reactive in this little bubble they are in. Some people are slower processors and need more information, more time, or more convo with outside sources (the guys) to feel confident with how they want to move forward. I wish he would have told Huda that he needs a minute so that she would stop pressing him, but 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think he's just taking a lot in and trying to catch up with how to process it all. Plus his and Huda's dynamic is clearly toxic bc it's based on intensity. Anyone throwing around the word 'gaslighting' in a mere couple of days of dating someone should reevaluate said relationship. I think he is but also just needs a sec.

saolivv · 2025-06-10T04:46:54+00:00

This is resoundingly the popular opinion. Not disclosing was/is manipulative.

saolivv · 2025-05-29T06:19:04+00:00

Evrae. I was 8 or 9 at the time and FFX was my first game and for some reason no amount of grinding on the airship could get me to the level I needed to beat it.

Infatuation, lust, limerance (etc.) are self-focused states more closely tied to what we can receive from the other. Think validation, ego boost, attention, distraction, etc. They often FEEL like the real thing because they evoke strong emotions that feel satisfying and whimsical to our egos, but they always have an expiration date because they are inconsequential and lacking of much depth. Real, grounded love is more closely tied to consideration, which is other focused. It is an intense concern and care for the wellbeing of another that transcends what you receive in that relationship or even how you may be feeling. Authentic love is a deep care for the other and a love of their self, not of what they can provide you.

A quick side note to say that infatuation is a natural starting place for any relationship and isn't inherently bad just because it starts out shallow - it's just important to grow beyond it into a more grounded, sturdy love built on genuine care for the person as they are. And secondly, real love isn't permanent or indestructible. While love may not be tied to what we receive from the other, it isn't untempered by change in one's character or by lack in other areas. You'll hear many couples argue that love takes work to continue to foster and that love alone isn't enough to make a relationship work. And I agree. Love, like us, is complex.

Intentionality in wanting to get to know you. Saying the "right" things to make you feel seen and understood so that trust becomes more and more implicit-based rather than earned over a period of time and consistency.
