ok ok, so had hood 7, got 2 (robin/van), you guys gave us forrest, which i'm counting as a hood since it was on my list and makes sense (robin hood in forest, forest acts as hood to jungle etc).
So 4 left relating to hood and now smartphone -3. There are 9 total and we got 3, so 6 left, but 7 possible clues. That means we have at least one overlap.
for smartphone
cook - tim cook - CEO of apple
match - swipe left on tinder for matches
pin - drop a pin on maps etc
pool - dont drop it in the pool!
ring - a phone rings obv
ok so i think ring/cook/pin are solid for smartphone. cook was also on my hood list, as was pool.
think im:
ring
cook
pin
pool
shadow
kangaroo (hoodie has kangaroo pouch)
ring
cook
pin
and then see what happens

Thinking this must be Compound. Not sure of the true definition of blubber but it being some sort of fat compound makes sense.
I think picnic must be Turkey/litter/loch Ness but boy do I not feel good about anything other than Turkey lol.
I'll go
Turkey
Compound
Autopass hopefully

Good job
Picnic was risky but I was hoping you’d avoid forest since Robin Hood lived in Sherwood Forest and it was on his list
Turkey, berry, litter, shadow (for shade, you often sit in shadow of tree on a picnic)

Tokyo gonna hate the hood clue, but I felt like we are much worse so had to increase variance and hope he gets a long ass list mostly right. Knew ninja was a risk.
Robin Van Forest (per what Nich said) Cook all got there
Hood pin is a car part
Hood piercing is often a ring (clitoral hood)
Final word that I really struggled with the whole time was lead.
I thought there were lead hoods for x-ray's, but that was an obvious stretch.
So then I tried next clue. Didn't say iPhone to get away from Cook (smartphone isn't necessarily Apple, hoping to keep thinking) lead must be in phones.
Final clue was mythical creature, hoping to get to lead, like detective lead.

I had no idea what to do with lead so kept trying super tenuous things.
I never would have done hood -7 except you guys are so much better.
It was a misplay, I'm sure, though.
