Tell me a bit about yourself outside of the game. What are your hobbies, interests, or passions?
no way i've actually started doing stuff offline so i can answer this like a grass toucher
I have a major interest in writing/roleplaying - I make a LOT of OCs and developing them is an actual hobby of mine because I do it so much .. I have roleplayed for years on roblox although I haven't done much discord rp as of yet
I'm a very musical person, I've played the piano for around 5-6 years and I've played small amounts of other instruments.. I love improvisation I tried singing lessons but my teacher moved away so 😭 🙏A newer interest of mine is theatre, i'm trying to immerse myself in it a lot more this year and it might be obvious in the way i act idk ppl say theatre kids behave in a certain way
Explain to us what your general strategy is going into any ORG - unrelated to its format or twists. Then, could you point out any flaws in your gameplay?
My general strategy is to focus entirely on the social game. Comp wins take a huge backseat for me- I generally perform well-ish, but I have to put in effort to win, and I usually .. don't do that. If I focus on my social game, I don't see a reason to be the best performer on every challenge. I focus on social game because I find it easy to get along with most people, and people tend to think I'm a nice person to be and keep around! This helps me make both official AND unofficial allies, which is extremely important to me. It helps me stay in the loop AND in the game. It's nice to have people to turn to when things are getting crazy and you need a little extra support to figure out what's happening- something you cannot do if you haven't made any connections yet... In the (two) ORGs i've played in I got decently far through the social game alone, so I think it's a pretty fair strategy that works well for me. My MAJOR gameplay flaw is that I forgive and forget too easily. I see people in a positive light and tend to assume they have my back. NEWS FLASH- I was blindsided both ORGs i participated in for this exact reason. I am too much of a pacifist, and it has brought me down multiple times. I need to learn to be more aggressive as I play and be willing to lose people I view as my allies- something I was heavily against my first time around.
How will you adapt your personality and your strategy to better fit the twist of being with your duo?
i'm lucky . me and my duo share a braincell mwamwmwa My personality will show more than usual due to being with my duo. I tend to hold back just because I'm uncomfortable being around new people, and it takes me a lot of the game in order to warm up to them. Having my partner with me basically overrides that, and I'll be able to reach out a lot more than I would be being alone.. I also have someone to second-guess myself with if I don't get along very well with..particular people. I may have some tunnel-vision of interacting with him, especially in public chats like tribe channels .. something I will try to push away, but it might happen.. I have to make sure I don't get carried away and make people think i only care about my bf My strategy is going to stay the same because of this- however, I believe I will need to reach out a LOT MORE than I normally do in a ORG, because people will be naturally drawn to their duos more than other people. I'll definitely have to kick into high gear in order to keep my connections strong without making anyone feel like their duo is at risk- something that could go horribly wrong depending on what happens in the game... burnout is possible.... I also have to make sure to incorporate him in the moves I make- leaving out my duo is the dumbest move I could possibly make IMO (at least towards the beginning)
As a host, confessionals are one of the most important things to me! How do you tackle your confessionals? Do you update them live with your thought process, or info dump at the end of an episode, or something else?
I LOVE CONFESSIONALS
I try to update them live with my thought process but I do worry about being looked at as annoying or weird once they get opened so I might second-guess and not talk in there very much towards the beginning- towards the middle/end of the season i get invested and go nuts 
generally a simple response from a prod like "?" "woah" or anything to that degree can keep me talking for a while- if you want to get more out of me, prompt me and i'll try my best!!! i will keep talking as long as i can if prompted 
I do not have any archives of my confessionals I was JUST short of being able to screenshot my past confessionals
sometimes i just get a thought I think is important and put it in there, other times i start talking game to myself in an attempt to process, etc
at the least i am active in my confessionals and people tend to enjoy them from what i've heard!!
How do you handle conflict or disagreements with others?
This is where some of my game flaws come in ....
at my core, I am an anxious person and I tend to not do well in terms of conflict because I'm afraid of escalating it or making it worse. Especially if the other person ends up aggressive towards me or is being very insulting.
When I am responding to conflict, I can be VERY impulsive about it. 
If I'm given time to think about how to respond to said conflict, I can usually come up with something, but I am aware that I can't magically fix it all the time.
Generally, my strategy revolving conflict is just.. not to get into conflict if I don't have to. Boring, but .. if I got into conflict, it could be game-ruining depending on how stressed I am at the time.
HOWEVER
My duo being here will likely change this a bit.
I'll have someone to talk to about said confict and might be able to come to a logical conclusion on how to respond- WITHOUT having to stress all by myself.
If they talk to me and I talk to them about any conflict or disagreement we should be able to tackle it well together.
