Season 4 episode 7 – Morning after - Mac and Riley, Just Roommates

Mac risks opening one cobalt blue eye to the morning light, just peeking through the shutters. He immediately allows it to close again, not ready to wake. Seconds later both fly open, as he hears clamor from the kitchen. Diving out of bed, his brain converts into “MacGyver mode”. His eyes flashing around the bedroom, calculating his location versus the intruder and taking inventory of the objects in his bedroom which can be utilized as an offensive weapon… Then he remembers… Riley. Riley had arrived, unanticipated, last night. Aubrey had broken up after the ill-fated episode of their double date. Mac lowers himself to perch on the edge of his bed, runs both hands through his blond locks, resting his elbows on his knees and gawp at his feet. He had struggled sleeping last night, his exceedingly analytical brain attempting to process… the events of the evening and his unforeseen responses and reactions.

Mac was a naturally a proficient observer, a skill he had honed well. Among other things, being observant assisted Mac in spying emotional responses, but he was not able to decipher their meaning without thorough contemplation. It frustrated Mac, that throughout his life, this also included the necessity to decrypt the motives behind his own emotional states. Hence, the reason for his lack of sleep.

He recognized that his botched attempt at a “normal date” with Desi, had only recapped the reasons of their previously break-up. They sucked at being together without the pump of adrenaline through their bodies. He wanted more to the relationship, but it was forced. He loved the pounding excitement but longed for a relationship which also included something… domesticated? “Yeah right, Mac, that’s it?!” speaking overtly to himself.

Compartmentalizing that puzzle for later, Mac attempt to understand his next conundrum. During the tragedy, called a date, while observing Riley and Aubrey, Mac noted several visceral reactions in his own body. His had been clenching jaw until his teeth throbbed and there was an extreme tautness in his chest. He initially alleged himself to be envious, that she had found a relationship outside the Phoenix. A prospect he didn’t believe probable in his own life.  Now his nagging inclination was to identify this response to be unadulterated jealousy. He realized this when he experienced relief, hearing the words from Riley, “Aubrey ended it”. Perhaps, during their years together in constant danger, he had developed a protective or possessive attitude towards Riley, which was now unchecked.  

Riley has always been one of his best friends. The girl who teased and bantered him into a laugh or the occasion blush, was eagerly vested in his interest of reality tv, and shared an obsession for take out in the wee hours of the morning.  She was also his grounding rod, when he panicked getting to in his head, she would remind him with a steady hand on his shoulder “you can do this!”.       

All this noted, Mac, was not oblivious and he was, well… male. Therefore, he was permanently aware of Riley’s attractiveness. She was perfectly proportioned to Mac’s assessment. He admitted to himself that had made this assessment on more than one occasion. She was smart, resourceful, determined, occasionally sassy and well just, fun. She was wicked at Ski Ball which was hot to Mac, because it demonstrated her understanding of basic physics, even though she said it was “all in the wrist”. He shook his head violently at himself, and muttered “well this is productive... I need to stop thinking of Riley as hot.”

Temporally admitting defeat at cracking the emotional code, Mac stood and padded down the hallway. He glanced towards the kitchen, experiencing a slight choke at the scene before him. Riley’s bare feet on his solid wood floor, standing like an exotic bird with one foot appearing to unconsciously scratch the back of smooth calf muscle. His eyes trolled upwards, up the distance of her legs. Mac’s analytical brain calculating the length in relation with actual height not wanting to acknowledge that this is seeming inconsistent to his view. His stare reaches to the bottom of camo pajama shorts with hips nestled against the countertop, a soft grey sweatshirt, oversized, the open neck shifted to the right exposing the side of her neck, and a slim shoulder. Although her torso was swimming in the sweat shirt, he could imagine her curves beneath. Untamed curls were confided haphazardly in an elastic on the crown of her head. Her fingers were causally wrapped around his favorite mug. One finger, with the latest outrageous nail color, tapping rhythmical against its side, while the other hand lifts the string of a tea bag up and down in an equally rhythmic fashion. The corners of Mac’s mouth started to climb up into a smile, as he appreciated the view. Mac’s gaze finally moves to her face, and his heart pricks with pain. He saw it, confusion across her beautiful face. 

Mac begins with a soft cough and questions, “Searching for equilibrium?” Riley’s hazel eyes blink repeatedly, then lock with Mac. 

Riley eyes tear swiftly over Mac while he leans himself up against the door jam. Even though it was swift, she logged every detail. He too was in bare feet, dark grey sweat pants hanging low off his hips, a fitted basic white t-shirt which with his carved torso had him looking like a fruit-of-the-loom model. His golden hair ruffled, which she has always preferred, as it gives him the boy next store appearance. 

Before he had entered Riley had been mulling over her confused thoughts and feelings. She had been living with Aubrey for 6 months, a significant record for her history with relationships. He had ended it last night after being a first-hand witness to the “other part of her life”. Aubrey’s question as it was ending, “You really like this life?” had her jumbled, as confusing as her own response “you know what, I love it”. She had thought she had been enjoying the normalcy of their relationship yet there she was acknowledging the desire for danger and adventure. She was perplexed that, although saddened, she was not torn apart by the break up. 

Then there were these weird, increasing number of moments, she had been experiencing with Mac. Now that Aubrey was well, gone, she did not feel like she was cheating to examine them more thoroughly. She relived them one at a time… The moment after egging dropping a bomb from WW2 off a 6-story building when she noticed very non-plutonic feelings rising in her chest as she held Mac’s hand. The icky feeling, seeing Mac kiss Desi on the jumbo-o-trone after neutralizing a lethal death chip in her body when she refused to throw a soccer game. And last night, after hacking into bank accounts, in the dark fist fights and the conclusion of her relationship she had sought out Mac. Not for comfort or care but because she had a desire to be near him. Her feelings for Mac were morphing, and she was uncertain if how to navigate or, hell, if she was even okay with it.  

Mac leisurely striding towards her, “Your attempting to make tea? He asks, the continues “When tea leaves are added to water, they absorb and become rehydrated. This absorption of water into tea leaves allows for the initiation of steeping, the process of extracting the soluble compounds from the tea leaves and dissolving them in the water. The driving force of the steeping process is the difference in concentrations of dissolved compounds. Compounds in the leaves move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is achieved.”

A slow smile spreads across Riley’s face, but doesn’t quiet reach her eyes. “Can I help?” he asks, uncomfortably aware that his voice is almost pleading. “With my tea? Don’t actually drink the stuff,” she huffs quietly. She looks downward, moves, slightly unsteady, to set the mug on the counter. She is aware that Mac is standing close, smelling like a cabin in the woods, tucked away, quiet, comfortable, safe. She allows her eyes to close, leaning slightly forward, places her forehead against Mac’s hard chest. His left eyebrow ticks up in surprise but his response is immediate, winding his arms around Riley’s frame. She wiggles to wrap her arms under his and across his muscular back. She acknowledges to herself this is where is needs, wants, desires to be. They are touching, from head to toe. Mac begins to feel warmth, in slow motion, building through his body. The the air around their embrace start to hum like static electricity, softly crackling in his head. Riley squeezes her eyes shut, tighter. Both seem to be holding in breath, Mac pulls back slightly, looking into deep green eyes which are expertly mixed with flecks of brown, trying to decipher… what is this…

He breathlessly questions “Riles?” 

“Mac?” slips hesitantly from her lips…

Somehow, Mac takes a step backwards, deeply regretting this action almost immediately. Focusing hard on pushing aside the thoughts, feelings, his body’s response… he manages to spit out again… “What can I do?”  

Riley lets out another long breath, “Pancakes” she states firmly. Mac gently shakes his head, assuming it is still clouded from moment previous. His facial expression matched his confusion so Riley launches into explanation… “Pancakes is what Jack would make when I was a kid, a confused kid. It always made me feel, well, good, or better, you know? Unfortunately, I can’t cook worth crap, so… 

Mac interrupted, “well pancakes is actually baking not cooking, and something I happen to be pretty good at,” He says with a slight smirk in his tone.

“I shouldn’t be surprised, but I never pictured you as Betty Crocker Mac.”  

“Well its really basic chemistry” he comments. Mac switches into gear, moving around the kitchen like it’s a junk yard, jail cell or some other place they have been in which he has a crazy need to build a machine to get them the hell out of a mess. 

He grabs flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, then in the fridge pulls out milk eggs and butter. Riley as enjoys watching his hands move with confidence and precision. She has observed these hands during op briefing expertly manipulating paperclips, and steadily disarm grenades, booms or rockets which are threatening to blow them to pieces. An image flies forward, of those hands expertly on her body… “Shit!” comes out in a muted volume. Mac doesn’t hear. “Get a grip!”, she berates to herself internally.

Mac continues assembling ingredients on the counter. “Baking is relaxing… and predictable. After all the improvising and crazy plans, it’s just…” He doesn’t need to finish the sentence, Riley is already nodding in agreement with an understanding smile.

Mac looks around the kitchen, mutters to himself about needing a bowel. Recalling it to be below, in the cupboard Riley leans against. He skillfully begins to move Riley aside by placing his hands on either side of her hips. He is astutely aware he chose this action on purpose. It a basic experiment, to attempt to determine if the previous reactions can be replicated. He is intrigued to see Riley’s eyes widen and pupils dilate. She is embarrassed to feel the rising heat of a blush dancing across her cheeks. She nervously catches her bottom lip between her teeth which draws, Mac’s attention downwards. Gazing intently at her perfect mouth his hands voluntarily tighten their grip. Then he releases his hold.

He crouches down, grabs the bowl from the below cupboard and turns to begin measuring, steadying himself in some basic Mathletics. In addition, he begins documenting and categorizing his observations of his experiment, until Riley moves to stand next to him, close. He finishes adding ingredients, “Your up Riles!”, Mac expends a wood spoon in her direction with a boyish grin on his face, Riley grabs spoon with a “I got this smile” and begins vigorously mixing the batter.

“You keep that up and they are going to be flat… flat as pancakes”, Mac snickers as his own joke. Riley rolls her eyes and offers him half a laugh.

Mac launches forward in explanation, “flour is full of gluten molecules which typically are immobile, they don’t move much. When flour is moistened with water, milk or eggs the gluten molecules become active, and they become elastic and spring like, they stretch out and begin to rearrange. Further mixing allows the end of the gluten proteins to connect with other. The more mixing the tighter and tighter web-like network and are able to trap bubbles. But if you overmix…” 

Mac confidently reaches around Riley to the hand in which she is holding the wooden spoon, casing her hand once again with his own “you create too tough a gluten network, there is less space for the air pockets, we get flat instead of fluffy pancakes”. 

Their hands slow together, into an easy steady pace. Mac moves his free hand to rest on the counter top, enclosing Riley possessively in front of him. He inhales slightly on the exposed side of Riley’s neck and shoulder. Wondering immediately if he had already added cinnamon and nutmeg to the pancakes? He realizes that the hypnotic scent is Riley, robust and a little spicy. Their mixing motion slows to a dead stop. Mac steps forward, as if he is drawn to a magnet, his chest becomes flush against Riley’s back. She leans into him. The previous warmth he had experienced immediately becomes combustible and fire is ignited. Blood begins thrusting rapidly through his body, the crackling sounds are thundering in his head. He lifts arm to embrace the expanse of her mid-drift and spreads his fingers wide to cover the area. Riley’s breath intakes sharply and he can feel it ripple down her toned abdomen. Riley lets her head fall back on Mac’s sturdy shoulder and eyes feather close. Longing to breath her in fully, Mac allows his eyes to drift close and dips his head toward her tanned shoulder.  The word “Damm” rushes audibly from Riley’s lips, dripping with desire.

The Mac and Riley hear a distinct voice, “Hey yeah Mac buddy, Bozer is in the house” … Mac and Riley fly from each other like experiencing the heat of scored earth, taking postures at opposite ends of the kitchen, as Bozer strolls in.

McHanzone Tumblr blog admin Lynn/Trash guilty of misuse of Bullseye Zine proceeds intended for charity.

Please read the following even if you are not a member of any Overwatch fandom. This post contains sensitive information that needs to be brought to light. We ask that you use discretion when reacting to this situation. This individual’s actions have been dishonest and people have every right to express their feelings regarding it. This does not, however, extend to the right to harass, threaten, abuse, or in any other way use hateful or violent language, or language that attempts to incite hate or violence against any individual or group involved in this situation. No such actions or language will be tolerated.

The Mchanzo Discord server moderator team and the Bullseye Zine Organizational Committee have recently discovered information that has shocked and saddened all of us. We were made aware of the situation on October 23rd of 2017, but we have delayed making this news public until all the evidence could be examined, hoping to find that our suspicions were unfounded.

However, now that the facts have been thoroughly investigated, we regret to announce that the McHanzone Tumblr blog administrator and Bullseye Zine organizer Lynn has been taking money from the zine’s proceeds that was intended to be donated to charity (Stonewall Japan and True Colors Fund) and using it for personal purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, transfers of varying sums from the zine’s Paypal account to her personal accounts, as well as multiple purchases of personal items such as Voltron charms. Our trust has been violated, as has the trust of every individual who purchased copies of the zine, along with every contributor, organizer, judge, and supporter of the project.

We must make it perfectly clear that no other person is culpable in this situation, and that Lynn was solely responsible for the misappropriation of the funds.

Unfortunately, this was due to the fact that she had sole control of the zine’s Paypal account, and no other person had access to zine funds in any way. Had such accountability been established at the beginning, this would not have been possible. This was an error on our part, for which we apologize and that we regret deeply, since she chose to use her control over the zine’s funds dishonestly.

This situation was initially discovered and brought to our attention by the other former administrator of the McHanzone Tumblr blog, who goes by the screen name Ghost. Shortly after Ghost retired from the Tumblr blog, they visited the Mchanzo Gmail account to log out. Their attention was drawn to a large number of Paypal receipts, for which there appeared to be no corresponding zine-related purchases. Naturally, they went to Lynn directly, assuming there was some legitimate reason for these transfers. Lynn’s responses were vague and limited to excuses regarding shipping rates and the purchase of chains and other accessories to be used in the packages sent to zine purchasers.

When Ghost pointed out the discrepancies between the zine-related costs and the Paypal transfers, Lynn became defensive, claiming that her mother had pressured her to take sums of money from the zine account amounting to at least $1,400 US dollars, to be used to cover home expenses. She claimed that she would return this money when she received her next paycheck. This money has not been returned, to our knowledge, and when Ghost recently asked her to provide evidence that she had returned the money, Lynn responded only by saying, “Are you kidding me?” and producing nothing.

When Ghost questioned Lynn regarding the numerous smaller transfers and receipts for Voltron merchandise, Lynn became totally unresponsive. She immediately proceeded to lock Ghost out of the Gmail account and, oddly enough, delete her personal Facebook profile.

As we investigated the financial situation, a number of other facts surfaced that we also feel obligated to share with the public. The reason we think this is necessary is that all of the information together demonstrates a clear pattern of systemic dishonesty, refusal to work as part of a team, placing personal interests above all other concerns, and manipulative, controlling behavior toward others. We have broken the information into two sections, for the purposes of clarity.

The Bullseye Zine

The first thing we must say regarding the zine, is that despite the actions of one person, it represents the hard work and dedication of an amazingly talented, supportive, creative, and lovely group of people who gave their time and labor to the zine for no reason other than their love of the McHanzo ship and of creating art and pieces of writing to celebrate it. It is deeply unfortunate that their beautiful work has been marred by this situation, and we urge you to support them and show them all the love and compassion that you can. They are the ones who have truly been injured by this person’s actions, and we wish the very best for all of them.

While speaking together and with those involved in the creation of the zine, and examining .PDF copies of the zine, we have discovered a number of problems with Lynn’s management of the project. Had theft of the funds not occurred, we would have addressed Lynn’s mismanagement of the zine internally, but we now feel obligated to report it, as it is a relevant piece of the larger situation.

1. Creative control issues

Lynn took complete creative control of the zine, disregarding the opinions of the judges and cherry-picking contestants that she personally liked. This included removing candidates that judges had agreed upon based on ships she deemed unseemly or had associations with people she disliked or had spoken out against her.  She repeatedly made unilateral decisions about the project and ignored input from the rest of the organizational team.

2. Design and editing issues

Lynn did not allow team members (many of whom are professional graphic designers and book publishers) to assist with the layout. Our editor, whose name is on the zine and who now appears to be responsible for Lynn’s bad decisions, was never sent the proofs of the zine before it went to print (as had been agreed upon), which resulted in a zine that is difficult to read and full of errors. Titles and author names have been omitted from written pieces, making it unclear where one piece ends and another begins. No table of contents has been included in the front matter, so in order to find out who wrote a piece, one must find the contributors list in the very back (where one contributor’s URL has even been misspelled) and reference the page number.

3. Failure to fulfill the terms of explicit agreements and verbal promises

The zine’s panel of judges, who spent many hours examining more than 200 applications to the zine (which included performing background checks on everyone sent through to the next round of voting), were promised free copies of the zine in return for their work. After the work was done (and much of it disregarded), Lynn informed them that due to the finances not meeting the need, the judges would no longer receive what they were promised for their work. There was also this interaction with a user who had been promised a spot.

Additionally, Lynn has failed to distribute the .PDF copies of the zine in the timeframe promised to those who purchased them. There have been multiple instances of her delaying sending out the .PDFs to people due to personal activities, such as traveling to Los Angeles to see Thor: Ragnarok and attending Blizzcon. Neither of these should have taken precedence over sending out products to the individuals who paid for them.

4. Falsely inflated shipping rates

Lynn reported shipping costs for the physical copies of the zine that she falsely inflated, limiting the scope the zine could reach in favor of receiving more money for shipping from purchasers. This was revealed when some of the judges and the other admin confronted her about the prices through private messages. It should be noted that Lynn did not consult Ghost about the prices beforehand.

5. Systemic dishonesty

We have discovered many other instances of personal dishonesty in Lynn’s behavior. For example, in April of 2017, she took payment for an emergency commission from a friend and then never delivered on the content, citing the fact that she and the individual were no longer friends, despite repeated questions regarding whether it would be delivered. It was also revealed by Lynn on the Mchanzo server that she was accepting payment to write other people’s university coursework. She then proceeded to remove people from the server who disagreed with her behavior.

The Mchanzo Central Discord Server

The McHanzone Tumblr blog (mchanzo.tumblr.com) has been run by the two administrators, Lynn and Ghost, for the past year. They also ran the affiliated Mchanzo Central Discord server together, up until very recently, when Ghost stepped back into a less active role while they were caring for some pressing family matters at home. The Mchanzo Central Discord server is actively used by a community of around 700 people who come there each day to socialize over a shared interest, and the Tumblr blog has a following of about 17,000 people. Lynn also manages the Mchanzone twitter account and runs an unrelated Tumblr blog under the name of latinxlance. Her personal twitter account is palancedin.

This information is relevant because in the time since Ghost spoke to Lynn regarding the missing funds, she has begun to behave in an increasingly unpredictable and erratic manner, particularly regarding the Discord server. She made some vague statements about changing things in the server, culminating in her stated intention to simply delete the very popular server which is home to a vibrant and active community of users, and to “start fresh” with an entirely new one, going so far as to delete the server’s logo and replace it with a plain “M” (it has since been restored by a moderator).

When the moderators objected to deletion of the server and asked for her reasons, she stated her wish to disaffiliate the Tumblr blog from the server, citing “complaints” that she had allegedly received from users (she has refused to provide any evidence of any such complaints to the moderator team). She has acted in an increasingly hostile manner toward the other moderators of the Discord server, accusing them of such things as personal disloyalty, maintaining friendships with people with whom she has had conflict in the past, and behaving “passive-aggressively” toward her. She has made threatening statements regarding her anger issues in the moderator chat, and stated to a mutual acquaintance in a private message that she intends to delete the Mchanzo Central server without warning on some unspecified date.

After the mods objected to her deleting the server, she was uncommunicative for several days, despite being active on Twitter and other Discord servers. She then announced on the Mchanzo Central server that it was no longer to be affiliated with the Tumblr blog and stated her intention to “go invisible,” no longer participating in any way, but (significantly) retaining sole ownership of said server. She has refused to transfer ownership to another person, disregarding the wishes of the other moderators and ignoring the fact that Ghost personally built the server from the ground up, and it represents hundreds of hours of their time and labor. It has since become clear that she has done this in order to hold the server hostage, in an attempt to prevent publication of the fact of her theft of the funds from the Bullseye Zine. The rationale being that if she controls the server where everyone communicates, it will be difficult to make the information known, since she can simply delete the server without warning at any time she chooses.

Why does all of this matter?

We believe this information is important to everyone. Lynn is the administrator of an extremely popular blog in the Overwatch fandom, and has gained a lot of influence because of it. She has also retained sole ownership of a popular Discord server, despite stating that she wants nothing to do with it, in order to attempt to control the publication of her theft of charity funds from the Bullseye Zine. We do not believe that a person like this should be allowed to continue to lie, steal, manipulate others, and abuse her power in this way.

We feel that actions need to be taken to rectify this situation:

All money returned to the zine funds, and evidence of this shown to the community.

No further projects like this, involving money, be undertaken by Lynn.

The Mchanzo Central Discord server previously associated with the Mchanzone blog be transferred to one of the other server staff members, rather than left under Lynn’s control. As of November 16th, Lynn has denied requests by server staff to relinquish ownership. In the meantime, some staff of the Discord server have created this alternative for people to join if they wish.

We do not want this situation to reflect on the Overwatch or McHanzo community as a whole. This situation was caused by the actions of one person, and we hope that the rest of the community understands this.

Statement from Ghost:

I just want to say, while a message is being sent to the community about something that I was involved in, that since I quit the blog I’ve been talking to a lot of members of the community who had issues with me in my time there, and I understand their criticism and I want to take it all on board. I fully admit that I was complacent to a lot of things that I didn’t agree with in my time at the blog, I sat back and let a lot of things happen that I wasn’t comfortable with, and I let people down in that way. I played my own part in making mistakes, too, and I’m working on tracking down people affected by them and offering apologies, so if you’re reading this and feel like I have something to own up to as well, or if I ever upset you and you want a resolution, please reach out to me in DMs on twitter at http://twitter.com/taibhsemisteire
