I feel so stupid for not finding this series and watching it earlier! I love it so much! Ezra and Cleo getting their moment made me so happy! I'm rooting for Charlie and Candy!
Eeeee thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️ Haha don't feel stupid, at least you got to binge the first episodes and didn't have to wait like the others did 🥰
My obsession continues! Everything about this show is fantastic and just keeps getting better and better with every episode! I am so impressed by everyone involved! So well thought out storylines!! Please keep up the wonderful job!
!!SPOILERS!! WHOA I did not expect that Lori and Candy slept together! Their relationship is actually quite complicated, I like it. I wouldn't be surprised if Lori outed Candy to everyone even though she's not ready, but that'd be really low... I hope that doesn't happen lololol I also really, really like Raja. Erica is right, she looks amazing in those suits. They're both cute. And Raja's father should be slapped back
I didn't catch the premiere, so I'm late to the party, but this episode was incredible. You make people feel for the characters, and love them. I had tears in my eyes after Candy's song. I can't wait for the next, you are truly talented!
***SPOILERS*** 1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not! It's probably a tie between the Clerza dance and Candy's showcase. 💖💖💖 2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation? You know it's interesting, I actually wasn't expecting Travis to be compassionate with Derek here, but seeing that he was, kind of made me feel bad for him some too. I'm 100% on Derek's side with them, but even still, it's kind of nice to see that it isn't as easy of a decision for Travis to treat Derek like he does than I thought it would be. 3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions? Oh damn. My beautiful chicky was hiding some feelings for sure. Hurt. Sadness. Envy maybe. But Chandy finally got a presence I believe, whether it's bff's or couples, I'm just really happy to see her and my other love Candy getting some potentially good vibes going. 💖💖💖 4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change? Oh dear god. I don't even know for some now. lol Clerza all day for sure.
Haha I really don't see Travis treating Derek any sort of way. He's been very straightforward with him from the start, and you can tell he cares about him too! Like I wrote in Dale's comment, he just wanted things to go smoothly. 🥺 For everything elseee I really love your answers! You really watched closely. 👀☕
Once again that was amazing. I was so gripped to the storyline and genuinely felt like I was watching something on Netflix. I know I've said it before but your use of music is just perfect in this series 👌
Omg this keeps getting more and more intense I can’t wait for the next one 😂♥️😭 Also now that the Clezra ship has left the harbour I can start shipping Candy and Charlie 😂 Never would’ve guessed I was gonna say that but omg they would be so fricking cute together if Candy just gets her act together 😂♥️😻
OMGGG I'M SO INVESTED IN THE CHARACTERS LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. i seriously love and admire how deep you write your characters and their stories IT'S AMAZING! i just can't help but love them all!!! 😭❤️❤️❤️ AND YESSS SINGER CANDY!!! ❤️
**SPOILERS** *1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not!* > Without a doubt the slow dance between Travis & Derek. The slow build, the music, the cinematography, the conversation - everything. It was beautiful. For Derek to let his guard down, embrace and appreciate Travis all on his own "for a change," was so special. Getting Derek to open up like that, in a public space, about his sexuality, and to talk about his feelings - unfounded(!!). A special moment for him, and for me because of that. #teamDerek (also Derek was not cool as a cucumber) (also also drugs are bad, kids). *2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation?* > It's soooo complicated. I love it, from an outside perspective, because being in an open, loving, and healthy polygamous relationship is fantastic for all those involved and it's great to see that represented here so passionately... but, it's clear to me and through this episode that Derek doesn't feel that way. AND since I'm #teamDerek it really really breaks my heart that he's is in this position. Imagine: you have finally let your guard down a little, and have fallen in love with an amazing person who allows you to be who you are, with no judgment and just pure love, only to then have to factor in sharing that person(!!). ONE person in the world who allows you to finally learn to love yourself, and to accept your sexuality and you have to share them? (note his conversation with Jasper earlier in the series). That's a no from Derek. Until he can love himself all on his lonesome, perhaps maybe then he would be ready for a relationship with Travis and co., but until then he really needs someone who can nurture him into loving himself, and accepting himself and not having to share. Derek just needs love, and unfortunately he found that in Travis... God. I could talk about it for days. Derek x Travis is an amazing pair, and I love them. I only wish the best for them all, and Tati and Nadeem seem so loving and kind, too, helping Raja and being so enthusiastic at the dance. I hope I didn't ramble too much, I just let my fingers go~! *3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions?* > I'm not sure honestly. Sour face for no reason, it felt like, but I'm sure there is a huge reason that I'm completely blind to. Can you blame me? I'm crying over Derek, here! But in all honesty Tia did such a fantastic job giving life to the character, as usual and I love the slow development of the relationship with Candy. Rooftop buddies! *4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change?* > I would say Travis x Derek, but honestly - no (get ready for another essay on T&D). It's beautiful, sure, but it's just not healthy for Derek right now. He needs to learn to love himself and accept his sexuality (note his conversation with Jasper earlier in the series) before he can even think about being in an open and healthy relationship. It hurts Travis, sure, but he must understand not everyone can think like him and perhaps it's even a little selfish on his part to expect that from Derek? Surely Travis knows Derek struggles with his sexuality and with loving himself? It might have been kinder for Travis to end things earlier, so that it wouldn't have came to such a shocking conclusion and heartache. "But Derek knew what he was getting into," sure. But Derek just needed someone to love, care and accept him - because he doesn't love, care or accept himself... and he found that in Travis. *sobbing* *5. Did you change your opinion on any of the characters? If so, why and how?* > Candy. I mean, I loved her anyway, but she continues to blossom in a way that is SO pleasing to watch. Before, I loved her because the actress is fantastic and it was an interesting take on the "bad girl," but now she's kind of becoming an outsider, still well-developed at that, and I just keep falling in love with her. AND now she's part of the band? Yes, please! WHAT A FANTASTIC MOMENT WITH THE SONG! I can't wait to see what the Black Sheep get up to... in particular, Candy x Charlie? #CHANDY. Besties or lovers? Either way, I can't wait to see¬! (turns out I did pay some attention to Charlie!).
Ahhhh omg I love all your answers. And I love how well you analyze the Travis x Derek dynamic. I honestly can't disagree with anything you said. I mean I am team Travis 👀 buuuut it's true that he can be a little too superficial and optimistic at times. He just really wanted everything with Derek to go smoothly, so he kinda convinced himself that Derek was okay with the situation... even though he clearly wasn't. It's a mess really. Meeting *the one* and being incompatible is just heartbreaking on both sides.
Damn, that episode. The whole thing. FFffffff. So, that parent-child dynamic Raja his hits a little close to home. One of my closest friends is in a similar situation with her parents, dad especially, and is from India. It was a rather accurate depiction of her experiences. I was pleasantly surprised by Candy's performance. I'd like to see her join in the band. Though I don't know if she'll be able to fully break from mommy dearest, so I suspect she may only be half invested if she does. At least for now. I can't really say my opinion on anyone has changed, yet. Most everyone is on the path i expected they would be in the beginning. But, there is still more than enough time for things to change.
@@SimmerBoi She's got a much better support group in friends. It's funny, the cat in my profile is named Raja, and was her cat originally when we were roommates. When we parted, she had to move back with her parents for a bit until she found something new, and her mom was allergic to cats, so he went with me.
First, let’s get the main thing out of the way *ahem* **PHYSICAL TEARS WERE SHED.** *phew* now that’s out of the way THIS IS AMAZING! The mood was sooo there like it was so intense and learning more about Candy and Travis and Raja JEIGJWKXOWNFMW I’m clearly at a lot of words and I serious can’t stop stressing on how good it is! Have I mentioned how good it is? IT’S SO GOOD!! Anyways can’t wait for Ep 6! Also, not me thinking Clara was you doing cameos and simping on Charlie 🙈🙈
Whoa I did not see that coming with Candy,, Did that really happen or is that like her fantasy damn! I knew there was so much more to her character. I'm really digging this sis, great job! I love how they all have depth and not everything is what they seem
Okay, first off: This episode . . . My heart can’t take it. I had to pause a few times to yell at my screen over things, so shout out to my FBI agent who was watching me lip sync to Disturbia, but then also bitch about fictional characters. ✌️ Second, and here’s come the rambling: NOT ME crackshipping Candy and Charlie a few episodes ago for it to actually become a possible ship. HOLY SHIT!!! (but the dancing bits got my new crackship ready sooo: Kaci and Tia. Imagine the chaos~) BUT ALSO Candy and Lori used to be a thing?!?! The loop you threw me through!! Holy shit there is soooo much more to unpack now between those two and all the past interactions just clicking more and more pieces together about their tension and EVEN the way Judith treats both girls. The plot thickens and thickens!! Not me x2 thinking for a split second when Travis took over as the DJ he was gonna play “Skater Boy” LMAO (instead the poor boy is feeling so down but BEING SUCH A GOOD FRIEND FOR EZRA!!) AND the amount of times Gideon made me audibly gag with his fuckboy bullshit. Get help. Get a hobby. BUT THEN, coming through for Jasper?!? LEAVING LORI FOR HIS PAL?! Is this growth?? But for real, was about to get super upset when Jasper was trying to get into that stall and Gideon being there to help him. Thank god. And glad to also see EVEN Ryan listening to Derek at the end to come help Jasper. I’m worried about him and hope he can recover. AND Raja’s dad can fuck off. I got soo heated, and the moment that garbage man raised his hand to smack her my heart dropped. Like mom, YOU GONNA STEP IN, defend your daughter perhaps??? Throw the whole parents away. I feel so much for Raja and to have the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally being ruthless ass wipes, just awful! I’m glad to see her so strong and having that convo with Erika (love her supporting and hyping up Erika, BUT she just got assaulted, like girl are you okay???), BUT THANK YOU ERIKA. So glad to see Erika becoming more self confident and strong (just like Raymond claimed she was!!!) and moving past this AND THEN giving Raja that compliment. Can’t wait for Raja to show up her awful fam by being herself in those suits and killing it with her film skills. THE HALLOWEEN PARTY AT THE END! I forgot that they planned for like actual costumes vibes at the very end and I loved seeing some of the costume transitions! Loved Kaci going from gown to her medieval Viking esque garb. Questions tho: 1( THE DANCE!! The aesthetic overall, immaculate. I’m such a hoe for characters getting dolled up and some neon lighting. I really loved seeing everyone just dance together at the beginning. The calm before the storm, lol. But my heart was so full seeing all the girls partner up and just having fun dancing. Absolutely precious. And sweet, awkward little Raymond becoming part of the girl squad. Love that group. The Derek and Travis dance was so sweet(until that all went to shit pffft). THE CLEZRA DANCE THO. And seeing Charlie all glammed up. I’m the brunette girl that was eying her up all night lol (Clara I think!) She is gorg and her and the band squad was killing it with the looks. (Everyone looked sooo good tho, just ughhhh)OKAY, but like not that it was a fav moment in terms of the characters BUT the way you shot the scene of Lori getting stood up by Ryan and Candy coming in and Gideon and Jasper being onlookers AND POOR ERIKA was just 👌🏻 2( Well, Tati and Nadeem are good in my book right off the get go for being sweet to Raja. BUT the relationship, oh god. Derek, I like you, but you are on thin ice, buddy. AND IT WAS STARTING SOO GOOD. He is so hopeless for Travis (wanting to go to the dance with him, INITIALLY seeming okay with Tati and Nadeem being there) AND that is precious, but the taking a temper tantrum in the bathroom because the man you love is in a poly relationship AND you are bothered by his other partners being there as his dates WHEN YOU INVITED YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE IS NOT IT!! OH MY GOD!! I feel for Derek and Travis. Like Travis being poly aside, Derek has to work out being open with his own sexuality as well. He is burying away so much of himself and his feelings to maintain this “image” and instead of getting upset with Travis, he needs to take time for himself first. And then MAYBE TALK!! Because I do like the Travis and Derek vibes. They got chemistry, and I can see them working well together. BUT it isn’t fair for Derek to want Travis to change his pre existing relationship just like that when Travis clearly cares so much for Tati and Nadeem. No one wins in this situation with feelings as they are. So, gonna need these boys to calm down and DEREK especially needs to see what he reallllly wants and what will make him happy. BUT YES TO TATI COMING IN WITH STRAIGHT FACTS IN THE BATHROOM SCENE. 3( Charlie being so out of it had me worried. Esp when Ezra and Travis talked about her drinking, even if she can handle her liquor well. Still was worried for what was to come(and maybe still to come after her being not as positive snarky and more self reserved snarky this whole episode). Initially thought maybe she’d go too hard with defending Erika or there’d be more when Candy Ward opened her mouth and started singing. BUT my only prediction is Charlie maybe has a bad memory with fancy parties OR she wasn’t in the mood to be at a event with such a focus on dates when she had no one or anyone she was interested in at the time. She was reluctant to go and get dolled up to Judith Ward standards, focused on having a more chill after party without dates, and then there is the hookup between her and Clara(the brunette, subtitles said that was her name so I’m going with it lol). Idk if that hookup was out of character for her normally, but it did seem like in a sense it happened cause Charlie wanted to prove she wasn’t out of it since she seemed uninterested until Clara called her out on her withdrawn behavior. Anyways, Charlie is one of my favs in this show so def curious to see what info may come out from her behavior this ep. 4( YESSSS CLEZRA!!!! The slow dance scene oh my godddd. Such a good moment, and the music and the build up!! And the little convo at the Halloween party was so cute since those two are often so closed off. For them to make baby steps to more personal convos is sooo good! Stop being so nervous babes! (*cough* Ezra *cough* asking for salt instead of going to the dance tsk tsk, it is still cute tho) Clezra shippers ate well this epsiode!! I adore them. I mentioned it above but I didn’t think Charlie and Candy would have a chance, BUT NOW. I’d like to see it. (I think, both ladies obv need time and for a bond to develop, but omg imagine Charlie going hard on bass while Candy is singing and them like singing into the same mic for a moment on stage and they lock eyes and just OOOOOF. I’m here for that.) I’m here for Travis and Tati and Nadeem. And then Derek and some therapy maybe, lmao. Not that I’m against Travis and Derek, cause they are sweet and I love how Travis is there for Derek and how Derek acts with him(minus the bathroom tantrum), but atm they just need to talk or they’ll keep getting hurt. Also, idk if Tia was asking Jasper out to the dance as friends or maybe they would’ve been something more but they coulddd be cute. I might like them better as just friends since I don’t think a relationship is what Jasper needs right now. 5( I think I kinda rambled about this earlier, but maybe some growth on Gideon! Love to see that. I just think for his character in particular to abandon a hookup with Lori to help his friend means a lot and I was impressed. The way he treats women though is still garbage. Candy was a big one for growth though by singing her song and taking a step toward doing what she wants and feels passionate about. I want to see her with the band squad sooooo bad, gonna maybe see such a totally different side of Candy when she is talking to Charlie, Ezra, and Travis as opposed to the mean girls squad. Travis and Raja grew on me more and more this episode though! Really good moments for both of them, minus the heart break and parental stupidity, but got me feeling for them more. Great episode!! You’re getting me more and more invested with each new one and again have to gush about how amazing you’re doing with characters in here since there are SOOO many, but you still have so much personality and depth coming out!
shfhshfhsd omg this comment is everything! honestly, at some point you might learn some crackships don't sound THAT crazy when it comes to me 👀 *wink wink* AND YEAH like I LOVE how everyone has been putting pieces together since the Candy x Lori relationship was revealed! OMG can you imagine if Travis really played sk8er boi tho 💀 that scene would've been COMPLETELY different ajfhjsfhsh Yeah ngl I think that was a really nice, sensible moment for Gideon. He's a complete moron like 90% of the time but at least we can see he has some priorities straight kfdhsjfhs Sadly what happened is so normal to Raja at this point it doesn't feel like assault. So when something like that happens Raja will say "ahhh just the usual, I'm okay" and truly mean it. :'( Learned how to swipe things under the rug really quickly growing up. :( BUT YEAH I really love that scene between Erika and Raja, they make me cry they're so precious. ç_ç Honestly I'M a hoe for characters getting dolled up and neon lighting hagvfsgfsfgfsdj so as soon as I started writing the show I was like yeyeyeyeye there's gonna be a dance YES I KNOW THIS IS COLLEGE AND I DON'T CARE also I was screaming-crying while filming the Trarek/Clezra dance scenes ngl 😭💖 Tati and Nadeem are ANGELS OMG I love everything about them. 😭 I honestly need them in my life kdhaskjhskhs also I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said about Travis and Derek, it's not just Tati coming in with straight facts it seems u_u hahaha Thank you so much for your in-depth comments Bri, you have no idea how much I appreciate them. 😩 This time I didn't put off replying because I feel when someone puts this much effort in their comment they at the very least deserve some aknowledgement. It's just that it's HARD to reply to you sometimes without getting spoilery because most of the stuff you say is like SPOT ON and I'm like... "well if I agree with her now she's gonna know she's right" hahahahha but really, thank you so so much. 💖
Jesus, that was such a good episode! OMG! I'm so obsessed with your series 😍💕 I love the party dance scenes. I'll kill you for choosing "Disturbia" by Rihanna and "My Consequence" by Hey Violet. I love them too much and felt nostalgic 😭❤ I'm absolutely happy for CLEO-EZRA thing ♥♥♥ YAS! But Travis & Derek did a great job too when they danced 😭💕 And wow, there's so many gay vibes in here 🤣 Daaaaaaaang XD I'm looking forward to the next episode! I'm so curious what's gonna happen to Travis and Charlie's band and if Candy's gonna be a vocalist! ♥ Good episode, really! Okay, no. I gotta say it out loud. THE BEST EPISODE FOR NOW!
Ahdhshd I'm glad you liked my music choices 🥰❤️ I really thought more people needed to know my consequence, it's such a great song! And this is probably my favorite episode too! For now 👀👀👀 Thank you so much for your comment!
I was watching this episode for the sixth time or so when at 36:29 I saw a girl in a Rachel Amber costume from Life is Strange Before the Storm🥰 Nice easter egg!
I took my time getting to this episode, because in some ways, being caught up sucks! Now I'm forced to wait for more content! I do love this series. On to the questions: 1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not! Has to be Candy singing that song. I was pretty surprised when she started singing, and it was such a great song. I'm becoming a real Candy fan. 2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation? Travis has to be Travis, and Derek made a mistake getting involved with someone who is poly when he is not. That said, I truly sympathize with Derek, because deep down I don't understand how poly relationships can work without anyone getting jealous or hurt - which I'm not trying to say it needs to be understandable to people like me to validate their relationships - it obviously doesn't! I'm just trying to say that falling for a guy like Travis is a big mistake for a guy like Derek, and vice versa. Derek can't turn Travis into someone he is not, and Travis can't turn Derek into someone he is not.
3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions? Charlie seems lonely, but beyond that, it's hard to say. 4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change? I'm still rooting for Ezra and Cleo, and I'm so glad some progress was made!
5. Did you change your opinion on any of the characters? If so, why and how? I was already warming to Candy before, but she's becoming a much more sympathetic character each episode. Also, I never really liked Gideon, but this episode proved him to be a real creep when it comes to his attitude towards women. But he's not one-dimensional - it seems like he actually cares about Jasper.
Haha, I feel you on the getting caught up part! I haaaaaate waiting for new episodes, and I'm gonna try to release ep.6 as fast as I can! I'm glad you're starting to like Candy, she's a really complex character and definitely one of my favorites in the show. And yeah, I totally agree on the Travis x Derek situation: polyamorous relationships can seem very foreign to people who have never experienced them, but this doesn't make them any less valid. And it sucks both for Travis and Derek to have fallen for each other because the way they see and handle relationships is just too different for it to work between them. :( I feel for both of them, but at least Travis has Tati and Nadeem to comfort him, even though his heart is still broken from the break up. Meanwhile Derek is lonely, and struggling to accept himself. AHHH WHAT A SHITTY SITUATION. ç_ç Also, yeah, Gideon *definitely* does care about Jasper! What was it that made him seem even creepier towards women in this episode, if I may ask? (apart from the obvious problematic af line he told Jasper, "no means yes" and all that... OOF that one was rough) I'm just curious, I love talking about these characters SO MUCH hahahaha
@@SimmerBoi okay, it was when Gideon said "Most girls won't agree to go out with you right away. You gotta wait until they're lonely and vulnerable." It just struck me as creepy and predatory. (**As a disclaimer, in addition to being a woman, I'm also the mom of two girls, the oldest of which is 12 and not that far from romantic relationships of her own in the grand scheme of things, so I'm probably extra sensitive to this sort of thing.)
Definitely not extra sensitive, the things he said in that scene are really really shitty and problematic. 😢 Sadly, a lot of men think like this, due to ignorance and various awful societal standards, without even realizing how wrong it is. Gideon really grew up with some fucked up ideas about women and relationships in his mind. 🤦🏻♀️
Oh my... I love it! CAN'T WAIT 😭😭😭 February is sooooo far! Are you ok if I make fan art of your characters? I love them soooo much, all of them (except the 3 b*tches princess 🤣)! I like to draw and I want to pratice with your characters. If you're ok how can I send it to you? Thank you ❤

This scene with them is just highlighting it even more. Beautiful inside and out 😭 I'm actually feeling bad for Candy....idk if I like these feelings 😳 I think she needs to hear everything Charlie tells her though...growth and all 😌✨ 30:27 WHO IS THAT ONE SIM THAT KEEPS STARING AT CHARLIE??!!!! 👀👀👀👀👀👀 (the one that asked her to dance?!) she's creepy af but she's also looking at her in an adoring way??

I felt soooo many things and cried so many times, ugh my heart lol I promised an essay but like when do I not give one?? I have so many things to say about this episode OMFG! I know I already said so much but AHHH! SO. MUCH. HAPENNED. I can't believe I am finding myself actually liking Candy now, but I do, and I hope she does join the band. I think they can provide her with stability like she's never known; nevermind that they are actually good peeps! I am loving the budding friendship between Raja and Erica! I want to see moreeeee! I believe the two can grow and learn from one another. They're both sooo much stronger than they think. Derek...well, he's a wip isn't he? He has a lot of things he needs to heal because he projected a lot of his own insecurities and thoughts onto Travis in this episode and my heart LITERALLY broke...sadness. Nadeem and Tati are so supportive and I could cuddle them all day oh my guaccc - Travis deserves themmmmm 🥺🥰🥰😭😭😭 I am living for thisssss series, you don't even understand!!!!! So many feelssss. Everyone did such an amazing job in this! You are such a remarkable director and writer and I always pray for your continued success in this and everything that you do! You deserve it ❤️❤️❤️
I MEAN let's be honest, if someone's reading the comments BEFORE watching the episode it's on them 😤😂 Charlie is our everyday hero tbh! Cause you know how in movies and tv shows there's usually the big misunderstanding that ruins everything etc etc? Well Charlie was having NONE of that bullshit akfdhskgfhdkf (but everything went to shit anyway, OH WELL) Raja is sooooooo cool tbh, I'm so glad everyone finally saw more from Raja in this episode 😭💖 also CAN WE ALL BE TRAVIS'S SIDE BITCHES?

And this time I actually replied because you deserve a decent reply after all the effort you put into this ffs!!! 💖💖💖
@@SimmerBoi I literally thought I was imagining that sim staring at Charlie the WHOLE time lmao I was praising the sim goddesses when she finally came up to her😆
🙅🏽♀️🚫BEWARE!! 🚫SPOILERS AHEAD!! 🚫BEWARE!!🚫🙅🏽♀️ 1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not! ~My favorite moment was actually the scene where Derek ends things with Travis. I think he finally realized that no matter how much he loves Travis, he can't force himself to be someone he isn't. The next step for him is to love himself and his sexuality and I hope he gets that soon. #TeamDerek 2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation? ~While the four of them being in a healthy polygamous relationship seem s very cute, it isn't healthy for Derek to force himself into something he can't do in the name of love. I'm sure he doesn't hate Nadeem and Tati (two very lovely sims btw) but he just doesn't have the same ideals and outlook on the world as they do. If he can't do polygamy, he can't do it. His love for someone won't change his lifestyle. Tati, Nadeem, Travis, and the cute girl in Britechester can be in a happy relationship and that's fine. 3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions? ~At the dance, Charlie was right that they shouldn't have given Erika false hope but she went too far with Candy. I feel like there was no good reason for her to be so rude to Candy. Also, having a one-night stand is fine, but at least be into them. Charlie didn't pay Clara any attention at all. 😂 I like that she came around to somewhat understanding Candy and asking her to join the band but she didn't apologize for her horrible words... 4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change? ~My ships during the past episodes were Fatima x Raymond, Charlie x Candy, Ezra x Cleo, Tia x Jasper, and Travis x Derek. But now, Travis x Derek is not healthy and I want Lori to get over herself and date Gideon (even tho he's a prick, he's a far better person than Ryan Flint 🤢🤢🤮). I hope Ryan never ends up with anyone and dies in a ditch ✨😌✨🥰. 5. Did you change your opinion on any of the characters? If so, why and how? ~Yeah! My opinion on Candy and Lori did a 180, kinda. It was nice to see Candy publicly emotional and when she was "making out" with Ryan Flint, she didn't seem into it (so happy that Derek showed up just then, was scared that she'd get r*ped). I hope Candy joins the Black Sheep. For Lori, Candy's flashback during her sad solo just made me see how horrible Lori is. My guess is that Candy and Lori were secretly a "thing." More like, Candy was really into Lori and Lori just wanted to bone. So, Candy confided in Lori, this girl she fell in love with. Told her everything, her dreams, her fears, the skeletons she hides in her closet. I'm sure she even told her how her mother treated her and stuff. And I feel that Lori, back then, wouldn't have used any of this against her until Candy was getting more recognized because she was Judith Ward's daughter and she felt left behind. So she got jealous, worked her ass off, and kissed Judith Ward's ass until she was recognized for her talents. Now that she's on Judith's good side, she doesn't want to fall from her favor so she's threatening Candy with her secrets so that she can stay in the limelight. tl;dr: ~Derek has to love himself first before looking for love from another person. ~If polygamy doesn't work for Derek, he shouldn't force himself just because he loves Travis. ~Chralie was a bitch for no reason. She should apologize for all her rude words. ~Ryan Flint is a piece of shit and I wish everyone else happiness 👏🏼💁🏽♀️. ~Lori is a bigger bitch than I thought she was. Looking forward to the next episodes!!! I love the soundtrack by the way. And the sound effects like the walking sound, the background chatter, and everything else adds to the realism. Love it!
Hi!! Thank you so much for your comments, and for replying to my questions!! This is such a thoughtful comment too, I love that you took the time to write all this about my series. 😍💖 Also happy to see some Derek love! And yeah, Charlie was definitely rude to Candy in this episode. But I think that's what Candy needed, you know? ;) She's so used to everyone kissing her ass because she's Judith Ward's daughter, so she needs "normal" people who aren't after her money to bring her back to reality!
@@SimmerBoi Truth. It's nice that Candy and Lori are getting character development arcs. Would love to know more about Lori's life in Strangerville before she was sent to Del Sol Valley.
ISTG, this machinima is INCREDIBLE!! This episode had so many emotional notes that hit the right places!! And I'm so down for this Ezra x Cleo ship even more 😭❤❤❤ Love this so much!!!
Wow! I think this is my favorite episode so far! Too bad there are no more official French subtitles. Oh and what is the title of the song that Candy sings? I can't find it anywhere...
It's "my consequence" by Hey violet, the acoustic version :) and I'm currently in touch with a few people who are working on translating the new episodes in french too!
Episodio fantastico come sempre,ho adorato ogni singola scena 😍 Ho una solo domanda sennò mi rimane il dubbio ahaha La scena mentre Candy canta tra lei e Lori è veramente successa oppure è quello che Candy avrebbe voluto che succedesse? Aspetto con ansia il continuo😊
Oh sì, è proprio successa! 👀 Nel prossimo episodio si scoprirà un pochino di più sulla loro relazione. Comunque grazieeee sono contenta che ti sia piaciuto! 😍❤️
1. Travis, everything with Travis. He has become my favorite character :). 2. I think Derek is bad news, because of the people he hangs out with...Also that is what my theory involves. 3. I'm not sure really. Good question. lol 4. I don't really have any ships yet, but I hope Raymond (I think) I want him to get out of the friend/brother zone with that girl he asked to the dance. I think it was Raymond, I'm still learning names lol. Also I hope Ezra ends up with Cleo. 5. Not really, but I'm not happy the way Raja's parents are acting. I hope Raja gets them back some how....oh and Candy, I thought she had a lot of development this episode. I can't stand Judith, even more after this series lol. I can't stand Gideon at all Ok, my theory involves the murder that Thorne Baily was in jail for. I think it wasn't him. I think it was the group that Jasper is hanging out with and they are going to frame Jasper as the mastermind behind the drugs and murder. That is why he escaped, to go prove his innocence. Also, if that isn't what happend, then Judith did it I think lol.
the cute kitchen table poly rep 😢 i’m not really interested in the derek/travis relationship; maybe in another universe where derek is better at poly or travis is monogamous, but i think it’s too big of a compromise for either of them to make
Hi, I'm sorry but the person who used to write them is not available anymore and I don't know french that well :((( if you know someone who would like to translate them let me know!
I know :((( I wish I knew French well enough to translate them myself, someone else used to translate the captions but they're too busy now. If you know someone who would like to help with the translations, let me know!
“What’s wrong with a boy in high heels” based Queen pulled reply
Pass. The. Salt.
I'm here for the Charlie + Candy ship. As well as the Cleo and Ezra ship.
Ezra is so dumb, I love him hahahaha 🧂🧂🧂
such a babe
I feel so stupid for not finding this series and watching it earlier! I love it so much! Ezra and Cleo getting their moment made me so happy! I'm rooting for Charlie and Candy!
Eeeee thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️ Haha don't feel stupid, at least you got to binge the first episodes and didn't have to wait like the others did 🥰
Oh my god Netflix really needs this ! Candy’s showcase was so cool, the entire episode was AMAZING. Congrats for your team work, I’m a huge fan ! 🥰
Omggg you're too kind! 🙈❤️
My obsession continues! Everything about this show is fantastic and just keeps getting better and better with every episode! I am so impressed by everyone involved! So well thought out storylines!! Please keep up the wonderful job!
Thank you Jennaaa ❤️❤️❤️
@@SimmerBoi I know this sound random but do you watch a lot of teen dramas cause this sure feels like one
@@kelsey1467 I have watched a few in the past! This definitely is one haha
cant stop thinking about the ezra and cleo dancing scene for days
aahhh i ship charlie and candy! ❤️ this is getting better and better!
Candy, Charlie and Cleo are sooo beautiful!!
True 🥰
!!SPOILERS!!
WHOA I did not expect that Lori and Candy slept together! Their relationship is actually quite complicated, I like it. I wouldn't be surprised if Lori outed Candy to everyone even though she's not ready, but that'd be really low... I hope that doesn't happen lololol
I also really, really like Raja. Erica is right, she looks amazing in those suits. They're both cute. And Raja's father should be slapped back
BEST EPISODE YET!!! Oh my god I am obsessed with this series!!
Me too hahahaha ❤️❤️❤️
@@SimmerBoi as a side note the extra with the strawberry blonde ponytails who I think is playing Glinda is so cute 😂
@@oldaccount7370 She is! 🥰🥰
Candy and Ryan kiss scene got me in shock too😭😂 it was full of drama w erika lori jasper I loved
I didn't catch the premiere, so I'm late to the party, but this episode was incredible. You make people feel for the characters, and love them. I had tears in my eyes after Candy's song. I can't wait for the next, you are truly talented!
Awww thank you! That was one of my favorite moments! And don't worry about the première. ❤️
Well, you made her my favorite now, lol.
I feel so stupid for not having watched this series earlier, I just LOVE it and can't wait for the next episode! You did such an amazing job
Omggg thank you so much!!! 🥺❤️
As usual, this is incredible! And so inspiring !
You're so talented ! Can't wait for the next episode !
eeeee thank you so muchhhh
The episodes just keep getting better!! I'm glad to see Cloe letting go and having fun!! Jasper we need to get it together quickly!!! 🥰🥰
Ahhhh yes I loved Cleo's scenes in this one 🥺❤️ and you did AMAZING as Jasper, as usual 💅🏼✨
***SPOILERS***
1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not!
It's probably a tie between the Clerza dance and Candy's showcase. 💖💖💖
2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation?
You know it's interesting, I actually wasn't expecting Travis to be compassionate with Derek here, but seeing that he was, kind of made me feel bad for him some too. I'm 100% on Derek's side with them, but even still, it's kind of nice to see that it isn't as easy of a decision for Travis to treat Derek like he does than I thought it would be.
3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions?
Oh damn. My beautiful chicky was hiding some feelings for sure. Hurt. Sadness. Envy maybe. But Chandy finally got a presence I believe, whether it's bff's or couples, I'm just really happy to see her and my other love Candy getting some potentially good vibes going. 💖💖💖
4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change?
Oh dear god. I don't even know for some now. lol Clerza all day for sure.
Haha I really don't see Travis treating Derek any sort of way. He's been very straightforward with him from the start, and you can tell he cares about him too! Like I wrote in Dale's comment, he just wanted things to go smoothly. 🥺
For everything elseee I really love your answers! You really watched closely. 👀☕
This episode was incredible! The secrets, the drama...I'm too curious to stop watching and it's after 1 am! 😂♥️
Absolutely brilliant again! I can’t believe I’m so invested in sims characters. Such fantastic work from the whole team. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!! ❤️🥰
Once again that was amazing. I was so gripped to the storyline and genuinely felt like I was watching something on Netflix. I know I've said it before but your use of music is just perfect in this series 👌
Thank you! 😍❤️ I really love thinking about music for the show
Omg this keeps getting more and more intense I can’t wait for the next one 😂♥️😭 Also now that the Clezra ship has left the harbour I can start shipping Candy and Charlie 😂 Never would’ve guessed I was gonna say that but omg they would be so fricking cute together if Candy just gets her act together 😂♥️😻
Hahahaha loving your ships ❤️🥰 I'm glad you liked the intensity of the episode hahahaha
OMGGG I'M SO INVESTED IN THE CHARACTERS LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. i seriously love and admire how deep you write your characters and their stories IT'S AMAZING! i just can't help but love them all!!! 😭❤️❤️❤️
AND YESSS SINGER CANDY!!! ❤️
Aaaaaaaa it's so nice to hear this from you! 🙈 I feel so honoured shdhdhdh and I'm so glad you're invested in this 🥺🥺🥺
@@SimmerBoi i mean how can i not be invested when everything about your series is THIS AMAZING? GIRL ❤️
*SPOILER*
Okayyyy, I did NOT see that coming when Candy was singing and then it went to Candy and Lori. Big shock!
HEHEHEHEHE I KNOWWWWWW it was so much fun to see everyone's reactions at the premiere sjfdhjsjdj
I really love this episode. The Lighting at the dance was soo well done!
I’m binge watching this like a mad woman. This is so good I LOVE IT
omg thank you so much!!! 💖
Omggg candy and Lori had me shocked 😭 love ittt
I’m a big fan of this serie ! I love cleo and fatima too much
Just found your series and it’s seriously so incredible! You’re so talented!
Thank you!!!
That was fantastic I loved that episode!
Thank you ❤️✨
**SPOILERS**
*1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not!*
> Without a doubt the slow dance between Travis & Derek. The slow build, the music, the cinematography, the conversation - everything. It was beautiful. For Derek to let his guard down, embrace and appreciate Travis all on his own "for a change," was so special. Getting Derek to open up like that, in a public space, about his sexuality, and to talk about his feelings - unfounded(!!). A special moment for him, and for me because of that. #teamDerek (also Derek was not cool as a cucumber) (also also drugs are bad, kids).
*2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation?*
> It's soooo complicated. I love it, from an outside perspective, because being in an open, loving, and healthy polygamous relationship is fantastic for all those involved and it's great to see that represented here so passionately... but, it's clear to me and through this episode that Derek doesn't feel that way. AND since I'm #teamDerek it really really breaks my heart that he's is in this position. Imagine: you have finally let your guard down a little, and have fallen in love with an amazing person who allows you to be who you are, with no judgment and just pure love, only to then have to factor in sharing that person(!!). ONE person in the world who allows you to finally learn to love yourself, and to accept your sexuality and you have to share them? (note his conversation with Jasper earlier in the series). That's a no from Derek. Until he can love himself all on his lonesome, perhaps maybe then he would be ready for a relationship with Travis and co., but until then he really needs someone who can nurture him into loving himself, and accepting himself and not having to share. Derek just needs love, and unfortunately he found that in Travis... God. I could talk about it for days. Derek x Travis is an amazing pair, and I love them. I only wish the best for them all, and Tati and Nadeem seem so loving and kind, too, helping Raja and being so enthusiastic at the dance. I hope I didn't ramble too much, I just let my fingers go~!
*3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions?*
> I'm not sure honestly. Sour face for no reason, it felt like, but I'm sure there is a huge reason that I'm completely blind to. Can you blame me? I'm crying over Derek, here! But in all honesty Tia did such a fantastic job giving life to the character, as usual and I love the slow development of the relationship with Candy. Rooftop buddies!
*4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change?*
> I would say Travis x Derek, but honestly - no (get ready for another essay on T&D). It's beautiful, sure, but it's just not healthy for Derek right now. He needs to learn to love himself and accept his sexuality (note his conversation with Jasper earlier in the series) before he can even think about being in an open and healthy relationship. It hurts Travis, sure, but he must understand not everyone can think like him and perhaps it's even a little selfish on his part to expect that from Derek? Surely Travis knows Derek struggles with his sexuality and with loving himself? It might have been kinder for Travis to end things earlier, so that it wouldn't have came to such a shocking conclusion and heartache. "But Derek knew what he was getting into," sure. But Derek just needed someone to love, care and accept him - because he doesn't love, care or accept himself... and he found that in Travis. *sobbing*
*5. Did you change your opinion on any of the characters? If so, why and how?*
> Candy. I mean, I loved her anyway, but she continues to blossom in a way that is SO pleasing to watch. Before, I loved her because the actress is fantastic and it was an interesting take on the "bad girl," but now she's kind of becoming an outsider, still well-developed at that, and I just keep falling in love with her. AND now she's part of the band? Yes, please! WHAT A FANTASTIC MOMENT WITH THE SONG! I can't wait to see what the Black Sheep get up to... in particular, Candy x Charlie? #CHANDY. Besties or lovers? Either way, I can't wait to see¬! (turns out I did pay some attention to Charlie!).
Ahhhh omg I love all your answers. And I love how well you analyze the Travis x Derek dynamic. I honestly can't disagree with anything you said. I mean I am team Travis 👀 buuuut it's true that he can be a little too superficial and optimistic at times. He just really wanted everything with Derek to go smoothly, so he kinda convinced himself that Derek was okay with the situation... even though he clearly wasn't. It's a mess really. Meeting *the one* and being incompatible is just heartbreaking on both sides.
I'm crying, this was so good!🙌
Thank youuu ❤️❤️❤️
Omg just saw the candy vs lori I felt gagged too candy, felt a little bit bad for her but Lori for president !
Damn, that episode. The whole thing. FFffffff.
So, that parent-child dynamic Raja his hits a little close to home. One of my closest friends is in a similar situation with her parents, dad especially, and is from India. It was a rather accurate depiction of her experiences.
I was pleasantly surprised by Candy's performance. I'd like to see her join in the band. Though I don't know if she'll be able to fully break from mommy dearest, so I suspect she may only be half invested if she does. At least for now.
I can't really say my opinion on anyone has changed, yet. Most everyone is on the path i expected they would be in the beginning. But, there is still more than enough time for things to change.
oof I'm so sorry about your friend :'( that must really suck for her!
hahaha I knowwwww this whole episode was pure CHAOS 👀😂
@@SimmerBoi She's got a much better support group in friends. It's funny, the cat in my profile is named Raja, and was her cat originally when we were roommates. When we parted, she had to move back with her parents for a bit until she found something new, and her mom was allergic to cats, so he went with me.
How did I miss this premier? Anyway, got my lunch ready to consume this episode !
Niceee! Hope you like it! 🥰
my favorite part was candy singing
First, let’s get the main thing out of the way *ahem* **PHYSICAL TEARS WERE SHED.**
*phew* now that’s out of the way THIS IS AMAZING! The mood was sooo there like it was so intense and learning more about Candy and Travis and Raja JEIGJWKXOWNFMW
I’m clearly at a lot of words and I serious can’t stop stressing on how good it is! Have I mentioned how good it is? IT’S SO GOOD!! Anyways can’t wait for Ep 6!
Also, not me thinking Clara was you doing cameos and simping on Charlie 🙈🙈
Hahaha omg 😂😂😂 nooo I look nothing like Claraaaa! Alsooo eeeeeee sorry for the tearsss ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so glad you liked this though 😍
Whoa I did not see that coming with Candy,, Did that really happen or is that like her fantasy damn! I knew there was so much more to her character. I'm really digging this sis, great job! I love how they all have depth and not everything is what they seem
Yesss that definitely happened!! ;) hahaha lots of people were shocked by that scene, the premiere had me giggling so harddd
Okay, first off: This episode . . . My heart can’t take it. I had to pause a few times to yell at my screen over things, so shout out to my FBI agent who was watching me lip sync to Disturbia, but then also bitch about fictional characters. ✌️
Second, and here’s come the rambling: NOT ME crackshipping Candy and Charlie a few episodes ago for it to actually become a possible ship. HOLY SHIT!!! (but the dancing bits got my new crackship ready sooo: Kaci and Tia. Imagine the chaos~) BUT ALSO Candy and Lori used to be a thing?!?! The loop you threw me through!! Holy shit there is soooo much more to unpack now between those two and all the past interactions just clicking more and more pieces together about their tension and EVEN the way Judith treats both girls. The plot thickens and thickens!!
Not me x2 thinking for a split second when Travis took over as the DJ he was gonna play “Skater Boy” LMAO (instead the poor boy is feeling so down but BEING SUCH A GOOD FRIEND FOR EZRA!!)
AND the amount of times Gideon made me audibly gag with his fuckboy bullshit. Get help. Get a hobby. BUT THEN, coming through for Jasper?!? LEAVING LORI FOR HIS PAL?! Is this growth?? But for real, was about to get super upset when Jasper was trying to get into that stall and Gideon being there to help him. Thank god. And glad to also see EVEN Ryan listening to Derek at the end to come help Jasper. I’m worried about him and hope he can recover.
AND Raja’s dad can fuck off. I got soo heated, and the moment that garbage man raised his hand to smack her my heart dropped. Like mom, YOU GONNA STEP IN, defend your daughter perhaps??? Throw the whole parents away. I feel so much for Raja and to have the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally being ruthless ass wipes, just awful! I’m glad to see her so strong and having that convo with Erika (love her supporting and hyping up Erika, BUT she just got assaulted, like girl are you okay???), BUT THANK YOU ERIKA. So glad to see Erika becoming more self confident and strong (just like Raymond claimed she was!!!) and moving past this AND THEN giving Raja that compliment. Can’t wait for Raja to show up her awful fam by being herself in those suits and killing it with her film skills.
THE HALLOWEEN PARTY AT THE END! I forgot that they planned for like actual costumes vibes at the very end and I loved seeing some of the costume transitions! Loved Kaci going from gown to her medieval Viking esque garb.
Questions tho:
1( THE DANCE!! The aesthetic overall, immaculate. I’m such a hoe for characters getting dolled up and some neon lighting. I really loved seeing everyone just dance together at the beginning. The calm before the storm, lol. But my heart was so full seeing all the girls partner up and just having fun dancing. Absolutely precious. And sweet, awkward little Raymond becoming part of the girl squad. Love that group. The Derek and Travis dance was so sweet(until that all went to shit pffft). THE CLEZRA DANCE THO. And seeing Charlie all glammed up. I’m the brunette girl that was eying her up all night lol (Clara I think!) She is gorg and her and the band squad was killing it with the looks. (Everyone looked sooo good tho, just ughhhh)OKAY, but like not that it was a fav moment in terms of the characters BUT the way you shot the scene of Lori getting stood up by Ryan and Candy coming in and Gideon and Jasper being onlookers AND POOR ERIKA was just 👌🏻
2( Well, Tati and Nadeem are good in my book right off the get go for being sweet to Raja. BUT the relationship, oh god. Derek, I like you, but you are on thin ice, buddy. AND IT WAS STARTING SOO GOOD. He is so hopeless for Travis (wanting to go to the dance with him, INITIALLY seeming okay with Tati and Nadeem being there) AND that is precious, but the taking a temper tantrum in the bathroom because the man you love is in a poly relationship AND you are bothered by his other partners being there as his dates WHEN YOU INVITED YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE IS NOT IT!! OH MY GOD!! I feel for Derek and Travis. Like Travis being poly aside, Derek has to work out being open with his own sexuality as well. He is burying away so much of himself and his feelings to maintain this “image” and instead of getting upset with Travis, he needs to take time for himself first. And then MAYBE TALK!! Because I do like the Travis and Derek vibes. They got chemistry, and I can see them working well together. BUT it isn’t fair for Derek to want Travis to change his pre existing relationship just like that when Travis clearly cares so much for Tati and Nadeem. No one wins in this situation with feelings as they are. So, gonna need these boys to calm down and DEREK especially needs to see what he reallllly wants and what will make him happy. BUT YES TO TATI COMING IN WITH STRAIGHT FACTS IN THE BATHROOM SCENE.
3( Charlie being so out of it had me worried. Esp when Ezra and Travis talked about her drinking, even if she can handle her liquor well. Still was worried for what was to come(and maybe still to come after her being not as positive snarky and more self reserved snarky this whole episode). Initially thought maybe she’d go too hard with defending Erika or there’d be more when Candy Ward opened her mouth and started singing. BUT my only prediction is Charlie maybe has a bad memory with fancy parties OR she wasn’t in the mood to be at a event with such a focus on dates when she had no one or anyone she was interested in at the time. She was reluctant to go and get dolled up to Judith Ward standards, focused on having a more chill after party without dates, and then there is the hookup between her and Clara(the brunette, subtitles said that was her name so I’m going with it lol). Idk if that hookup was out of character for her normally, but it did seem like in a sense it happened cause Charlie wanted to prove she wasn’t out of it since she seemed uninterested until Clara called her out on her withdrawn behavior. Anyways, Charlie is one of my favs in this show so def curious to see what info may come out from her behavior this ep.
4( YESSSS CLEZRA!!!! The slow dance scene oh my godddd. Such a good moment, and the music and the build up!! And the little convo at the Halloween party was so cute since those two are often so closed off. For them to make baby steps to more personal convos is sooo good! Stop being so nervous babes! (*cough* Ezra *cough* asking for salt instead of going to the dance tsk tsk, it is still cute tho) Clezra shippers ate well this epsiode!! I adore them. I mentioned it above but I didn’t think Charlie and Candy would have a chance, BUT NOW. I’d like to see it. (I think, both ladies obv need time and for a bond to develop, but omg imagine Charlie going hard on bass while Candy is singing and them like singing into the same mic for a moment on stage and they lock eyes and just OOOOOF. I’m here for that.) I’m here for Travis and Tati and Nadeem. And then Derek and some therapy maybe, lmao. Not that I’m against Travis and Derek, cause they are sweet and I love how Travis is there for Derek and how Derek acts with him(minus the bathroom tantrum), but atm they just need to talk or they’ll keep getting hurt. Also, idk if Tia was asking Jasper out to the dance as friends or maybe they would’ve been something more but they coulddd be cute. I might like them better as just friends since I don’t think a relationship is what Jasper needs right now.
5( I think I kinda rambled about this earlier, but maybe some growth on Gideon! Love to see that. I just think for his character in particular to abandon a hookup with Lori to help his friend means a lot and I was impressed. The way he treats women though is still garbage. Candy was a big one for growth though by singing her song and taking a step toward doing what she wants and feels passionate about. I want to see her with the band squad sooooo bad, gonna maybe see such a totally different side of Candy when she is talking to Charlie, Ezra, and Travis as opposed to the mean girls squad. Travis and Raja grew on me more and more this episode though! Really good moments for both of them, minus the heart break and parental stupidity, but got me feeling for them more.
Great episode!! You’re getting me more and more invested with each new one and again have to gush about how amazing you’re doing with characters in here since there are SOOO many, but you still have so much personality and depth coming out!
shfhshfhsd omg this comment is everything! honestly, at some point you might learn some crackships don't sound THAT crazy when it comes to me 👀 *wink wink* AND YEAH like I LOVE how everyone has been putting pieces together since the Candy x Lori relationship was revealed!
OMG can you imagine if Travis really played sk8er boi tho 💀 that scene would've been COMPLETELY different ajfhjsfhsh
Yeah ngl I think that was a really nice, sensible moment for Gideon. He's a complete moron like 90% of the time but at least we can see he has some priorities straight kfdhsjfhs
Sadly what happened is so normal to Raja at this point it doesn't feel like assault. So when something like that happens Raja will say "ahhh just the usual, I'm okay" and truly mean it. :'( Learned how to swipe things under the rug really quickly growing up. :( BUT YEAH I really love that scene between Erika and Raja, they make me cry they're so precious. ç_ç
Honestly I'M a hoe for characters getting dolled up and neon lighting hagvfsgfsfgfsdj so as soon as I started writing the show I was like yeyeyeyeye there's gonna be a dance YES I KNOW THIS IS COLLEGE AND I DON'T CARE also I was screaming-crying while filming the Trarek/Clezra dance scenes ngl 😭💖
Tati and Nadeem are ANGELS OMG I love everything about them. 😭 I honestly need them in my life kdhaskjhskhs also I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said about Travis and Derek, it's not just Tati coming in with straight facts it seems u_u hahaha
Thank you so much for your in-depth comments Bri, you have no idea how much I appreciate them. 😩 This time I didn't put off replying because I feel when someone puts this much effort in their comment they at the very least deserve some aknowledgement. It's just that it's HARD to reply to you sometimes without getting spoilery because most of the stuff you say is like SPOT ON and I'm like... "well if I agree with her now she's gonna know she's right" hahahahha but really, thank you so so much. 💖
I AM LIVING FOR THIS SERIES
Jesus, that was such a good episode! OMG! I'm so obsessed with your series 😍💕 I love the party dance scenes. I'll kill you for choosing "Disturbia" by Rihanna and "My Consequence" by Hey Violet. I love them too much and felt nostalgic 😭❤ I'm absolutely happy for CLEO-EZRA thing ♥♥♥ YAS! But Travis & Derek did a great job too when they danced 😭💕 And wow, there's so many gay vibes in here 🤣 Daaaaaaaang XD I'm looking forward to the next episode! I'm so curious what's gonna happen to Travis and Charlie's band and if Candy's gonna be a vocalist! ♥
Good episode, really! Okay, no. I gotta say it out loud. THE BEST EPISODE FOR NOW!
Ahdhshd I'm glad you liked my music choices 🥰❤️ I really thought more people needed to know my consequence, it's such a great song! And this is probably my favorite episode too! For now 👀👀👀 Thank you so much for your comment!
I was watching this episode for the sixth time or so when at 36:29 I saw a girl in a Rachel Amber costume from Life is Strange Before the Storm🥰 Nice easter egg!
Hahaha yesss!!! Finally someone noticed ❤️
Ward Academy >>>>> Blackwell Academy
I came here to see if anyone else noticed! I love that!
So many FEEEELLLS. Whyy you do this to me!!
😇😇😇
Need Lori to take over the crown GET YOUR LICK BACK QUEEN!
I love this so much! What is the song candy sings at party i loved it? Great story!
it's "my consequence" by hey violet (the acoustic version)
Need Candy to start hanging out w Cleo Charlie Travis, lori out of my fav list maybe not me switching 😭
CANDY AND LORI WERE TOGETHER??!! NOW CANDY LGBT DEVELOPMENT COMING WE HEREEEEEEE
I took my time getting to this episode, because in some ways, being caught up sucks! Now I'm forced to wait for more content! I do love this series. On to the questions:
1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not!
Has to be Candy singing that song. I was pretty surprised when she started singing, and it was such a great song. I'm becoming a real Candy fan.
2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation?
Travis has to be Travis, and Derek made a mistake getting involved with someone who is poly when he is not. That said, I truly sympathize with Derek, because deep down I don't understand how poly relationships can work without anyone getting jealous or hurt - which I'm not trying to say it needs to be understandable to people like me to validate their relationships - it obviously doesn't! I'm just trying to say that falling for a guy like Travis is a big mistake for a guy like Derek, and vice versa. Derek can't turn Travis into someone he is not, and Travis can't turn Derek into someone he is not.
3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions?
Charlie seems lonely, but beyond that, it's hard to say.
4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change?
I'm still rooting for Ezra and Cleo, and I'm so glad some progress was made!
5. Did you change your opinion on any of the characters? If so, why and how?
I was already warming to Candy before, but she's becoming a much more sympathetic character each episode. Also, I never really liked Gideon, but this episode proved him to be a real creep when it comes to his attitude towards women. But he's not one-dimensional - it seems like he actually cares about Jasper.
Haha, I feel you on the getting caught up part! I haaaaaate waiting for new episodes, and I'm gonna try to release ep.6 as fast as I can! I'm glad you're starting to like Candy, she's a really complex character and definitely one of my favorites in the show. And yeah, I totally agree on the Travis x Derek situation: polyamorous relationships can seem very foreign to people who have never experienced them, but this doesn't make them any less valid. And it sucks both for Travis and Derek to have fallen for each other because the way they see and handle relationships is just too different for it to work between them. :( I feel for both of them, but at least Travis has Tati and Nadeem to comfort him, even though his heart is still broken from the break up. Meanwhile Derek is lonely, and struggling to accept himself. AHHH WHAT A SHITTY SITUATION. ç_ç Also, yeah, Gideon *definitely* does care about Jasper! What was it that made him seem even creepier towards women in this episode, if I may ask? (apart from the obvious problematic af line he told Jasper, "no means yes" and all that... OOF that one was rough) I'm just curious, I love talking about these characters SO MUCH hahahaha
@@SimmerBoi I don't remember his exact words... shoot, let me find it.
@@SimmerBoi okay, it was when Gideon said "Most girls won't agree to go out with you right away. You gotta wait until they're lonely and vulnerable." It just struck me as creepy and predatory. (**As a disclaimer, in addition to being a woman, I'm also the mom of two girls, the oldest of which is 12 and not that far from romantic relationships of her own in the grand scheme of things, so I'm probably extra sensitive to this sort of thing.)
Definitely not extra sensitive, the things he said in that scene are really really shitty and problematic. 😢 Sadly, a lot of men think like this, due to ignorance and various awful societal standards, without even realizing how wrong it is. Gideon really grew up with some fucked up ideas about women and relationships in his mind. 🤦🏻♀️
Oh my... I love it!
CAN'T
WAIT
😭😭😭
February is sooooo far!

I just realized I still have 15 minutes left...I am so excited 🥳🥳
Lori being left in the bathroom is sooooo....fitting, if I must say lol
Random opinion...like super random...Erica and Raja are probably the most beautiful characters. This scene with them is just highlighting it even more. Beautiful inside and out 😭
I'm actually feeling bad for Candy....idk if I like these feelings 😳 I think she needs to hear everything Charlie tells her though...growth and all 😌✨
30:27 WHO IS THAT ONE SIM THAT KEEPS STARING AT CHARLIE??!!!! 👀👀👀👀👀👀 (the one that asked her to dance?!) she's creepy af but she's also looking at her in an adoring way?? I'm confused lmao

Okay ABSOLUTELY ✨PHENOMENAL✨ epsiode! I felt soooo many things and cried so many times, ugh my heart lol
I promised an essay but like when do I not give one?? I have so many things to say about this episode OMFG! I know I already said so much but AHHH! SO. MUCH. HAPENNED.
I can't believe I am finding myself actually liking Candy now, but I do, and I hope she does join the band. I think they can provide her with stability like she's never known; nevermind that they are actually good peeps!
I am loving the budding friendship between Raja and Erica! I want to see moreeeee! I believe the two can grow and learn from one another. They're both sooo much stronger than they think.
Derek...well, he's a wip isn't he? He has a lot of things he needs to heal because he projected a lot of his own insecurities and thoughts onto Travis in this episode and my heart LITERALLY broke...sadness.
Nadeem and Tati are so supportive and I could cuddle them all day oh my guaccc - Travis deserves themmmmm 🥺🥰🥰😭😭😭
I am living for thisssss series, you don't even understand!!!!! So many feelssss. Everyone did such an amazing job in this! You are such a remarkable director and writer and I always pray for your continued success in this and everything that you do! You deserve it ❤️❤️❤️
I MEAN let's be honest, if someone's reading the comments BEFORE watching the episode it's on them 😤😂
Charlie is our everyday hero tbh! Cause you know how in movies and tv shows there's usually the big misunderstanding that ruins everything etc etc? Well Charlie was having NONE of that bullshit akfdhskgfhdkf (but everything went to shit anyway, OH WELL)
Raja is sooooooo cool tbh, I'm so glad everyone finally saw more from Raja in this episode 😭💖 also CAN WE ALL BE TRAVIS'S SIDE BITCHES? I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHH seeing him cry for Derek hurt my SOUL SJFHSDFH
Ezra's a bit of a meanie beanie tonight cause he saw Cleo dance with Raymond 👀 THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ASK FOR SALT INSTEAD OF ASKING HER OUT YOU DUMB BEAUTIFUL BOY
and yeah Ryan and Candy were like A BOMB JUST DROPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM SFDHSKFHJD RICH KIDS AMIRITE
AJDHASJKFHSJFD I'm dying at you spotting the girl throughout the whole episode and wondering if you're crazy or not 😂 this episode basically gaslighted you omgggg
AND I KNEW YOU WOULD LIKE THE KUROI NAMIDA MOMENT LIKE AT LAST SOMEONE HERE GETS MEEEEEE AHAHAHAHAHA I was like "hmmmmm I know just the right song for these credits" kfdslkhfskfhs
really love your opinions on Derek, Tati and Nadeem btw, they're so spot on and exactly how I feel about them as well 🥺
Thank you so much for your comment, I love these so much! And this time I actually replied because you deserve a decent reply after all the effort you put into this ffs!!! 💖💖💖
@@SimmerBoi I literally thought I was imagining that sim staring at Charlie the WHOLE time lmao I was praising the sim goddesses when she finally came up to her😆
🙅🏽♀️🚫BEWARE!! 🚫SPOILERS AHEAD!! 🚫BEWARE!!🚫🙅🏽♀️
1. What was your favorite moment from the dance? Can be any moment, happy or not!
~My favorite moment was actually the scene where Derek ends things with Travis. I think he finally realized that no matter how much he loves Travis, he can't force himself to be someone he isn't. The next step for him is to love himself and his sexuality and I hope he gets that soon. #TeamDerek
2. Travis, Derek, Tati, Nadeem... what are your thoughts on the whole situation?
~While the four of them being in a healthy polygamous relationship seem s very cute, it isn't healthy for Derek to force himself into something he can't do in the name of love. I'm sure he doesn't hate Nadeem and Tati (two very lovely sims btw) but he just doesn't have the same ideals and outlook on the world as they do. If he can't do polygamy, he can't do it. His love for someone won't change his lifestyle. Tati, Nadeem, Travis, and the cute girl in Britechester can be in a happy relationship and that's fine.
3. What's up with Charlie in this episode? How do you interpret her actions?
~At the dance, Charlie was right that they shouldn't have given Erika false hope but she went too far with Candy. I feel like there was no good reason for her to be so rude to Candy. Also, having a one-night stand is fine, but at least be into them. Charlie didn't pay Clara any attention at all. 😂 I like that she came around to somewhat understanding Candy and asking her to join the band but she didn't apologize for her horrible words...
4. Current ships? Are they the same as when it all started or did anything change?
~My ships during the past episodes were Fatima x Raymond, Charlie x Candy, Ezra x Cleo, Tia x Jasper, and Travis x Derek. But now, Travis x Derek is not healthy and I want Lori to get over herself and date Gideon (even tho he's a prick, he's a far better person than Ryan Flint 🤢🤢🤮). I hope Ryan never ends up with anyone and dies in a ditch ✨😌✨🥰.
5. Did you change your opinion on any of the characters? If so, why and how?
~Yeah! My opinion on Candy and Lori did a 180, kinda. It was nice to see Candy publicly emotional and when she was "making out" with Ryan Flint, she didn't seem into it (so happy that Derek showed up just then, was scared that she'd get r*ped). I hope Candy joins the Black Sheep. For Lori, Candy's flashback during her sad solo just made me see how horrible Lori is. My guess is that Candy and Lori were secretly a "thing." More like, Candy was really into Lori and Lori just wanted to bone. So, Candy confided in Lori, this girl she fell in love with. Told her everything, her dreams, her fears, the skeletons she hides in her closet. I'm sure she even told her how her mother treated her and stuff. And I feel that Lori, back then, wouldn't have used any of this against her until Candy was getting more recognized because she was Judith Ward's daughter and she felt left behind. So she got jealous, worked her ass off, and kissed Judith Ward's ass until she was recognized for her talents. Now that she's on Judith's good side, she doesn't want to fall from her favor so she's threatening Candy with her secrets so that she can stay in the limelight.
tl;dr:
~Derek has to love himself first before looking for love from another person.
~If polygamy doesn't work for Derek, he shouldn't force himself just because he loves Travis.
~Chralie was a bitch for no reason. She should apologize for all her rude words.
~Ryan Flint is a piece of shit and I wish everyone else happiness 👏🏼💁🏽♀️.
~Lori is a bigger bitch than I thought she was.
Looking forward to the next episodes!!! I love the soundtrack by the way. And the sound effects like the walking sound, the background chatter, and everything else adds to the realism. Love it!
Hi!! Thank you so much for your comments, and for replying to my questions!! This is such a thoughtful comment too, I love that you took the time to write all this about my series. 😍💖 Also happy to see some Derek love! And yeah, Charlie was definitely rude to Candy in this episode. But I think that's what Candy needed, you know? ;) She's so used to everyone kissing her ass because she's Judith Ward's daughter, so she needs "normal" people who aren't after her money to bring her back to reality!
@@SimmerBoi Truth. It's nice that Candy and Lori are getting character development arcs. Would love to know more about Lori's life in Strangerville before she was sent to Del Sol Valley.
ISTG, this machinima is INCREDIBLE!! This episode had so many emotional notes that hit the right places!! And I'm so down for this Ezra x Cleo ship even more 😭❤❤❤ Love this so much!!!
Wow! I think this is my favorite episode so far! Too bad there are no more official French subtitles. Oh and what is the title of the song that Candy sings? I can't find it anywhere...
It's "my consequence" by Hey violet, the acoustic version :) and I'm currently in touch with a few people who are working on translating the new episodes in french too!
@@SimmerBoi I can't wait in this case! And thank you for the song!
Episodio fantastico come sempre,ho adorato ogni singola scena 😍
Ho una solo domanda sennò mi rimane il dubbio ahaha
La scena mentre Candy canta tra lei e Lori è veramente successa oppure è quello che Candy avrebbe voluto che succedesse?
Aspetto con ansia il continuo😊
Oh sì, è proprio successa! 👀 Nel prossimo episodio si scoprirà un pochino di più sulla loro relazione. Comunque grazieeee sono contenta che ti sia piaciuto! 😍❤️
Allora è come pensavo😊ma cavolo come fa Lori a trattarla così dopo tutto quello che è successo?Non vedo l'ora di saperne di più nel prossimo episodio🤩
1. Travis, everything with Travis. He has become my favorite character :).
2. I think Derek is bad news, because of the people he hangs out with...Also that is what my theory involves.
3. I'm not sure really. Good question. lol
4. I don't really have any ships yet, but I hope Raymond (I think) I want him to get out of the friend/brother zone with that girl he asked to the dance. I think it was Raymond, I'm still learning names lol. Also I hope Ezra ends up with Cleo.
5. Not really, but I'm not happy the way Raja's parents are acting. I hope Raja gets them back some how....oh and Candy, I thought she had a lot of development this episode. I can't stand Judith, even more after this series lol. I can't stand Gideon at all
Ok, my theory involves the murder that Thorne Baily was in jail for. I think it wasn't him. I think it was the group that Jasper is hanging out with and they are going to frame Jasper as the mastermind behind the drugs and murder. That is why he escaped, to go prove his innocence. Also, if that isn't what happend, then Judith did it I think lol.
Thank you for sharing your theories with me! We'll see if you're right, eventually 😉❤️
@@SimmerBoi You're welcome :)
😍😍😍
Raja and erika ❤ I ship them now
I need Candy to say yes. PLEASE
we'll see 👀💖
candy and lori? omg
Cool as a cucumber🥒
🥒🥒🥒 hahahaha
the cute kitchen table poly rep 😢 i’m not really interested in the derek/travis relationship; maybe in another universe where derek is better at poly or travis is monogamous, but i think it’s too big of a compromise for either of them to make
Candy and Charlie are the real ship hopefully they’re not queer baiting me here😭
I have a little question that has nothing to do but do you have an ID in the Sims 4 gallery?
SimmerBoiYT
ezra n cleo 🥺
Can you put the subtitles in french please
Hi, I'm sorry but the person who used to write them is not available anymore and I don't know french that well :((( if you know someone who would like to translate them let me know!
Ah damn and sorry I'don't know anyone who can to this
@@celinebouhours4565 I think I've found a few people now!!
Cool I can keep watching 👍
too bad it no longer has the French translation, I really liked the first 4 episodes
I know :((( I wish I knew French well enough to translate them myself, someone else used to translate the captions but they're too busy now. If you know someone who would like to help with the translations, let me know!
