Which judge do you think will give you the highest ranking this round? The lowest?
I feel like Huga will give me my highest, and Kitt will probably give me my lowest.

Oh! That's right!
Then Buddy will probably be my lowest. Tymps understands me (I think), so maybe he will be my highest.

Hi! I'm sorry. My friend had a birthday dinner planned and I didn't know I was going. But I went!!!
I never have plans so it was really worth it. I mean I have so much work I need to do but I got to see my hot friend's nudes so!!
Anyhow I don't feel like doing my work so let me do these results first! Comments coming in a second.

Navyofbadgals - despite a few grammatical errors, this was actually a really interesting approach to the challenge. I liked how you gave a song that went well with each of their POVs, as well as one to give an overall theme to the story. I also liked the amount of detail that you put into the characters and the reasoning behind things...well done!
Lynx - This felt more like a "I just got into my first relationship" trinity. The idea of losing your virginity, or sex in general, seems to be glossed over at best. Also, given that this is the Story trinity, I would've appreciated a story, even a short and simple one.
Staryu - Not a diaper fetish. Was this inspired by your real life? Nah but for my sake, I'm glad you kept things more simple.
Witch_Privilege - Cute story! I think it should've ended with them getting married. Anyway, I wish we got to know the other homo ha side of the story. Maybe he has a strictly-religious upbringing, and the thought of his parents finding out and disowning him terrofied him. Just a thought!
Superpower - While I did like that you got into the psychological side of suicide, I would've liked to see a story here as it was the "story" trinity.
wesleywalrus - I liked that your entry rhymed. You also had one of the more out-of-the-box ideas this round so kudos.
J P O W - The best part of your entry was the story, and you just c&ped it. I didn't find the "juxtaposition" of the songs to the story to be clever so much as a cop out because you couldn't think of any fitting songs to go with the story.
rl231 - I liked how your entry felt like it actually happened, like a memoir or ssomething. None of the songs felt particularly out of place or anything, either, so good job.

Navy- Bitch this is so ****ing long, but this is SO good! Honestly. The story (which did you make this up? I ain't got time to research) is cohesive and lays everything out, giving me what's going on and how everything happened. I also loved how you separated this by "chapters" and then ending each with a song. Then the songs, woo, they fit in so well. This is like the perfect trinity.
Lynx- I likeeeee. It's very cute. Really not much I can say about this, the songs fit your theme well and you explained everything right. However, this definitely isn't one of your best trinities.
Stayru- Ok I really like this! Perfect way to describe a break up. You oughta know has soo much anger in it, i'm glad you chose it.
Witch- nn your theme. But I really love what you did with this theme. You could have done this in a variety of ways, but i'm glad you chose about a teen liking a boy. I especially love how you added say something, think it's a great way to finish your entry.
Superpower- Sis this is extremely chilling, but it really struck a chord with me. These songs are emotional, very telling, and really cater to your theme. Honestly, great job and i'm very proud of you!
JPOW- **** you, i'm screaming Even though you didn't make this up, this is still great. Like really great. Each song reflects each chapter perfectly This story was such a kii though, i'm so glad you did this.
rl- yes, yes and yes! All great songs that perfectly describe your theme. I think this is really great and the songs really spoke for themselves. Couldn't have asked for you to do this any other way tbh
Wesley- It's cute, I mean nothing exciting tbh. All the songs are pretty basic but I get where you're coming from.

Navyofbadgals - Your entry felt very convoluted. I really like all the detail but I wish you had condensed it more. You really wrote a novella and while it was engaging it was also a little too labyrinthine for my tastes. But, still, I really liked your entry! You had perfect song choices for your entry, they fit well.
Lynx - I don’t really get why you listed all their ages but it’s k I guess. I like that you had a focus in your trinity about truly loving someone you lose your virginity to and the emotions attached to it, not like any Tonight I’m ****ing You ********. I wish either White Tiger or Youth was replaced with a song that might show a bit of trepidation or fear someone has before losing their virginity, I feel like that would’ve added another dimension to your entry.
Staryu - I like that each of your songs played a very different role in your trinity, and I agreed with your song choices! The Anger section made me spit out my water asldkfjlk. Not a diaper fetish. And “I hope you die violently” omg girl. Your trinity would’ve been better if the other two sections had that much personality.
Witch_Privilege - Your entry was really well-written. My personal highlight was the part about the “English project.” And I like the character that the protagonist had, he really felt like a real person seeking validation, and that idea was strengthened by him always begging his boyfriend to “say” something. I feel like Say You Love Me and Say Something played similar roles in your trinity, however.
wesleywalrus - I liked how you made it all rhyme and stuff lol. The gifs were a really good touch too. I never really listened to the lyrics of Party in the U.S.A. before, but it was a great fit. (The song is horrible though.) I think you could’ve improved your trinity by not exactly adding more detail but rather adding more unique detail. The story you presented in rather hackneyed already.
J P O W - Okay so I didn’t realize you actually copied a whole story from the internet and all you added were the songs which didn’t even play a very significant role? I know it was intentional but I don’t think it was the wisest choice. The best part of your entry shouldn’t be the unoriginal content.
rl231 - Good song choices, but I feel like this could’ve been written more personally. The way you wrote it was very stoic and so even though it was very relateable, it didn’t really make me feel the emotions of your story, which, with a prompt like yours, was something really important.

Some results were very surprising, this is going to be really tough. However, I honestly feel like you guys would prefer to have an elimination this round as well. Too many free passes just ruins the game.
If you're in this round's or last round's Golden Trinities (aka if you're Staryu, Lynx, wesleywalrus, Navyofbadgals or Witch_Privilege) read this paragraph. This round's Golden Trinity will PM me their decision as usual. However, send the PM directly in Staryu, Lynx and wesleywalrus as well. They will individually vote by each PMing me, saying whether or not they'd like to veto. If two or more of them want a veto, a new contestant from the Flop Trinity will be selected by this round's Golden Trinity. As always, please let me know if there's any confusion.
ALSO! To Staryu, wesleywalrus, Navyofbadgals and Witch_Privilege: congrats!!!! You've made semi-finals!!!!!!!
To all: great job! I mean it when I say ranking was hard. Love you all.

This bottom three is tragic though. I like both jpow and rl. It always gets hard at this point in the game.

Not if Staryu and wesley choose not to veto it, or on the contrary, if the GT choose either yourself or rl, and Staryu and wesley choose to veto it, and the GT then selects me.
Trust me, I've thought of all the possibilities.
