Merge time! You're officially Shippable! ![:dance](https://i.imgur.com/T8uX0Lu.gif) We know that tonight was (possibly) a bit of an information overload, and that you have new Side Buddies to exchange missives with. But if you do get the chance to share your thoughts, we'd love to hear them! And who knows? Writing them out may even help you to make sense of everything... We have a lot of questions, but there's a lot of weekend ahead. Make sure to give yourself a break too! 1. How does it feel to make the Merge!? How would you sum up the week you've just endured, and how excited/proud/concerned are you to about what comes next? 2. What does it mean for you to enter this Merge without a PBvO partner, when the majority of the Side consists of reunited pairs? 3. Which players are you reuniting with from your previous Sides? Where do you think these prior relationships stand? Can you pick up right from where you left off, or have the intervening days affected any trust you'd built up? 4. Who are you meeting for the first time? Do you have first impressions to share, or do you already know enough about everyone thanks to the Swap, the Switch and the Owl Post? 5. Talk us through that last vote. Were you expecting it to be unanimous, and were you expecting a Switch? How has it changed the landscape for you in the Merge Side? 6. What are your initial thoughts about Paired Immunity? How do you think it will impact the rounds to come, having two people Immune at each Vote? 7. How do you think this Merge Side will shape together as you approach the Vote on Sunday? Which groups do you think will be working together? What would you like to see happen, and is it different from what you expect to see happen?

Tweet tweet tweet! It's alright, I need an excuse to not spend all day on missives anyways!
1. How does it feel to make the Merge!? How would you sum up the week you've just endured, and how excited/proud/concerned are you to about what comes next?
Honestly I feel like I've been pretty lucky. I hardly ever had to attend Councils even though I was sort of on the cusp of danger for a lot of it. I'm excited to have made merge though and I want to just keep a good positive outlook and not get in my head too much. I wanna help out the people I like and just no die basically.
2. What does it mean for you to enter this Merge without a PBvO partner, when the majority of the Side consists of reunited pairs?
It's a little bit worrying, I've already tried bringing up to Fleur, Reggie, and Moody that we ought to look out for each other and do what we can to avoid being consensus targets. I don't know that it will be as rigid as Pairs vs Singles, but I think there's always a bit of an incentive for Pairs to keep each other around and avoid making themselves stand out too much, so chances are inevitably enough there's going to be a bit of pushback for them to just cut each other down. So it'll be a bit of a dance, at some points I may just need to concede and make my moves when the chance arrives.
3. Which players are you reuniting with from your previous Sides? Where do you think these prior relationships stand? Can you pick up right from where you left off, or have the intervening days affected any trust you'd built up?
I'm reuniting with everyone actually, since I got to spend some time with all of them before. I am hoping to pick things back up with Yaxley and HK. We weren't able to really to get much off the ground, but we had some discussions and I feel good about them. Didn't get much with Crouch. And then Wood and Lily and I had a bit of a weird thing going on and weren't really able to get closer just due to knowing we didn't have the room to pull much off over there.
4. Who are you meeting for the first time? Do you have first impressions to share, or do you already know enough about everyone thanks to the Swap, the Switch and the Owl Post?
No one! <3
5. Talk us through that last vote. Were you expecting it to be unanimous, and were you expecting a Switch? How has it changed the landscape for you in the Merge Side?
I'm not surprised it was unanimous. We were discussing doing Lucius for a while there, and I think with the merge approaching we all decided to just keep it simple and not create waves. I'm not surprised he got Switched either, we all knew that was a possibility, but I think this still keeps us in a decent enough spot. Luc might be a little pissed, but at least it keeps Reggie from getting burnt by us.
6. What are your initial thoughts about Paired Immunity? How do you think it will impact the rounds to come, having two people Immune at each Vote?
it's gonna make things awkward for sure, I think it might motivate some people to just throw a challenge if they're paired with someone who's bound to be a target. It also means we'll need to do a lot of backup planning, cause now two people might be immune.
7. How do you think this Merge Side will shape together as you approach the Vote on Sunday? Which groups do you think will be working together? What would you like to see happen, and is it different from what you expect to see happen?
I'm gonna try to do a bit of everything. My original alliance with Moody, Dede, and Fleur is a good place to start, but I'm also working on this Singles thing, and if possible, I'd like to use Dede's partnership with Yaxley to bridge that gap a bit and keep me connected to HK and Yaxley. I think it'll be key to start building my own things and not just be a building block in someone eles's pyramid.

These challenges have all been so creative and fun, and this one in particular is such a unique silly idea. I just wish I had the brainpower to figure out how to come at it successfully lmfao

Tbh being Canary is the most fun all game, I cackle like a fool at the thought of how annoying my messages must be. I feel like some assume that inserting tweet everywhere is part of the curse, but no that's all me.
Think I could be cooked tonight if I'm not careful. As predicted, the Pairs are likely going to keep the focus on the Singles, so my approach here might be to just go all out in trying to appeal to HK and Tonks and make them afraid of the other pairs holding more power than them.

Is there a word filter in action, I am assuming that's why people can't even say my name? Kingsley Shacklebolt

I may or may not be adding increasing ridiculous word filters as people try to make various versions of your name work ![:lol](https://i.imgur.com/X4ixXao.gif) Massive kudos for having fun with this and going all out ![:kudo](http://i.imgur.com/haoRaBw.gif)
