Allow me to reintroduce myself…

My name is Laas! 👋

I’ve been known to yap about my media consumption (games, tv shows, music), my local hockey team’s performance (let’s go canes!), or whatever random thought pops into my brain. You can expect lots of cat pics here too 😼

Me standing in a green floral dress looking off into the distance while my friend takes a selfie in the background. There is a blue sky, mountains, and agave plants in the background

A picture of me in a coffee shop, holding the vinyl album GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo. There are bookshelves full of board games on the right

A picture of me in a pink buccee’s tshirt with flowerws on it, wearing a white hat with green text that says “Midwest Princess” - taken at the Chappell Roan concert

A picture of me in a Sebastian Aho jersey, wearing a Hurricanes beanie, and holding up the Wolfpack sign, next to my friend who is holding up the same sign, and wearing a black Canes jersey

Yeahhh I’m with you there lol. It doesn’t feel like their marketing team is really tapped into the pulse of the fanbase online tbh

Laas 🌸 @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 2h

Aw yeah, I get that. And you can always still go with your dad when he’s feeling up to it!

I’m a huge advocate for doing traditionally social activities by yourself - I’m glad you’ve been getting more comfortable with it!

Laas 🌸 @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 2h

Oh 100%. Idk if it’s actually the marketing team or who making these decisions but they are real questionable

Laas 🌸 @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 2h

I love going to games by myself tbh! I can just do what I want to do and not have to worry about anyone else. It’s especially nice for when I’m feeling a bit anti-social lol. And you still feel like you’re not alone bc of everyone around you

Omg WOW that is so cute 😭😭

Laas 🌸 @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 4h

It’s a confusing one! And it doesn’t make you think of hockey. And exactly - it leans into southern traditional values, which makes it feel exclusionary.

That one is definitely versatile! I kinda wish we would stick with one instead of changing it every year.

Laas 🌸 @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 4h

I do like the production on this video. Their creative team always crushes it.

However, I still don’t like the branding. The voiceover and the language used feels like it’s following the swing back towards conservatism that we’ve seen many brands take this year.

Totally makes sense. There’s not much to root for with this disaster tribe lol. And I don’t particularly care for Sophi or Alex. I started w/ 47 and watched 48 and now 49 live. Watched Carolyn’s season earlier this year also. I’m gonna have to go back and watch the other new era seasons soon!

Alrighty, I’ve just heated up dinner and am watching #TAR38

Laas 🌸 @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 4h

Okay good to know!! I watched the first part of 46 and saw Yanu falling apart, which was definitely more interesting. Bhanu was dramatic as hell 😭😭 funnily enough he speaks the same language as me lol

The tribe swap happening so early is going to massively change some storylines.

- Curious to see if Jawan and Savannah get split up and he gets along better with his new tribe
- Yellow tribe has been SO kumbaya, and I can’t wait to see how this affects tribe unity

Followup question, is this the earliest a tribe swap has happened?! #Survivor49

Laas 🌸 @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 5h

Survivor historians, is Kele the most disaster tribe to ever disaster in the new era? Asking as a relatively new fan!! #Survivor49
