Is it just me or the story just became a way to make you pay and doesn’t care a lot about the plot
Not related but can we finally get some of those new gowns they have so much stashed away while we have 3 and we get bunny ears and baseball outfits in updates 
I actually read a few chapters of Venomous just to get enough gems to pretend to be a candy striper and watch a movie with Zoe. Two-in-one deal, am I right? 
A rare unicorn of a subplot: the MC in College-ish actually gets invested in helping her bff’s love life instead of the other way around.
In slightly less surprising news, next week she’ll have to choose between Dax’s/Cyd’s birthday party and college freshman orientation. 
This sounds weird, but the autumn aesthetics of this scene looks beautiful 
. And did I spot waist-tied plaid on the guy on the left, nice!
Avoid it at all cost.
Which chapter is this?
I’m way behind. Chapter 6.
I don’t know if I got this scene. I tend not to spend gems on Dax.
I feel like the more gems I spend on Dax the less time I spend with Zoe. I only spent time with Zoe twice and both of those times I ended up with Dax by the end of the night lol.
Which kind of sucks.
Yeah, they keep forcing Dax on you. He’s mostly absent from chapters 9 and 10, though.
Which kind of makes the pretending-to-already-be-in-college thing pointless lol.
The parts I like most are the Simon/Zoey parts. Really nothing that is at all connected to the fake college plot at all.
I know. Their courting is so cute and really quite normal in comparison to most episode stories
It is that: courting. Because the two are classy 
I’m jut a little peeved that if you don’t pay gems, MC just … gives up, because nobody came. Lacey and Preston don’t even get together at the end, which is a sucky anti-climax. The only way MC conveniently got the college scholarship is that mean girl Joanna got disqualified for acting unsportsmanlike after she won.
I don’t know, personally I would like it if there was a little scene of MC basically shoving her friends together and get them to directly tell each other how they feel, or something. It would be such a nice, little character moment
Yeah, they tend to make the non-gem option really awkward in the official stories. Like her friends are there with all these extra resources to help her win. Why on earth would she refuse? Same with all the clothing options. If someone is standing there with a gorgeous gown, why go to the gala in your pjs? There’s never an in-universe explanation that makes opting out of gem choices make any sense.
Dax’s beyond adorable fuzzy ear headband was the only thing I liked about this episode.
Why was the MC worried about “telling Simon the truth”? The dude knows she’s in high school, AND he pretended to be her RA when she got busted trespassing in a college dorm. She should have just told him, “I have to go defraud a college student now” instead of going through all the running back and forth to be in two places at once nonsense.
…why is that a timed choice? 
This episode is basically a farce, where she has to run back and forth between her HS and college friends before either of them gets suspicious that she double-booked plans for the day (even though her HS friends know about her double life already, so the urgency felt kind of fake regardless).
IF YOU DON’T MOVE FAST ENOUGH, THE PRETZELS WILL SELL OUT!
(not really)
