#I've wanted to add that beef for a while but now I finally know where to put it

[morimess]

I finally figured out what I want to do with the imposter wind waker for TBABS.

[landwriter]

Oh my god your writing has me in a choke hold!!! I’m curious about Hands and/or Shut Up, please! Your brain is amazing and lovely and I’m very excited to hear anything you have to share about your WIPs💚

Thank you so much! I've got a couple Hands asks marinating and nothing to offer for them yet, so Shut Up is the Twitter Beef AU (another excerpt here) where Hob is a comparative lit professor and Dream is an underground electronic artist, and Hob comes for him on Twitter. Death meddles and drops a diss track. Hob finds out at his last lecture before hols and plays it for his course in a fit of pique, and...ends up having the best two hours of his teaching career?

He slides into Dream's DMs for the first time under the cut:

He catches sight of the time and is surprised to see it’s five minutes past the hour. Normally, his cue is when a handful of students start pointedly packing their things in the last few minutes of the lecture. “Okay, we’ve gone on too long, because you’re all still here, letting me, but I do need to get to office hours, so let me conclude with the argument that this is why textual analysis is so important, right? The author chooses their words to say more than one thing, and, as we learned, having additional knowledge of where they’re coming from - historically, socially, culturally - is the real Rosetta stone for understanding their message. I encourage you to think about that while you choose your final paper topics over break. A final reminder that your draft thesis is due on our first week back, and yes, I will be able to tell if you came up with it that morning, so please, please, give it some thought. If anyone feels keen and wants to talk about their ideas now, you know where to find me. Office hours go until 6. Alright, go, be free. My apologies to anyone who was excited for Marlowe - we’ll cover him when we come back instead! Have an amazing break, folks.”

Students are coming over already and he holds up a quelling hand. “Office hours, guys. I have other classes! I’ll see you there.”

It’s true, of course, but also he wants just a quick moment to himself to do something. Slinging his bag over his shoulder, he pulls out his phone and ignores all his notifications to send a DM to Morpheus before he can think too hard on what he’s doing.

didn't know you needed to be protected by your big sis, next time i'll go easier on you x

He hesitates, deletes the x, and sends it, and jams his phone back into his pocket. After his office hours - exhaustingly well-attended - he finally has a chance to check his phone again. He's not used to actually having three hours worth of students to talk to.

There's three messages from Morpheus.

she insisted also i wrote most of it for the record

He raises his eyebrows. The messages are from nearly two hours ago, which he hopes means it's not uncool and weird if he replies right now.

it was you? it's incredible writing

Then, feeling suddenly far too earnest, he quickly adds:

almost like you went to school for being something other than a pretentious goth cunt

His reply is marked read immediately and he nearly chokes on his tea. He desperately wishes he could delete the last message now. Too much, he thinks. Always too much, Hobsie. Morpheus is typing.

don't need to go to school for that x and thanks

He puts down his phone violently and stands up, breathes out. He feels like a teenager with a crush. His phone buzzes again and he snatches it back.

meanwhile i bet u have student loans still prof

Hob laughs.

only a little. some of us had to learn how to be pretentious actually x

He thinks for a moment, then adds, wincing a little at the size of the text block:

thanks btw. aside from threats from ur insane fans I also had the best lecture attendance in ages and my office hours were 'sold out' lol. if all I had to do for better student engagement was get in an internet feud with a random musician I'd have done it years earlier.

so u concede i'm a musician :)

you still have terrible taste in shoes hey i see you typing if you say anything about my sweatervest i'm blocking you!!

then have a good night, professor gadling

you too

Then he waits a little too long, maybe, before adding:

How are you going to handle SkyClan joining the forest Clans in AVOS? In canon there is no reason why SkyClan can't return to the gorge now that Darktail's gone and not have to deal with constant conflict with the other Clans, and they are just forced to stay in the gorge because StarClan said so, are you going to add in a better reason or make it so the gorge is still uninhabitable (maybe they had to leave the gorge for a reason unrelated to Darktail? It might make the kin's appeal seem more legitimate if it wasn't already known by Alderheart etc. that they drove out SkyClan and they could tell everyone else about it but conveniently didn't, while I like Needletail knowing the kin is violent but finding that appealing rather than being an innocent victim that could certainly be accomplished in other ways). I have also seen criticism of the lake territories in general for there being no reason, unlike in the forest, why the Clans can't just expand their territory to the nearby area, making all conflict over territory seem contrived. How do you plan to handle that?

Bonefall AVoS is still fuzzy. I know what I want to do with it, but specifics are still immaterial. I have some scenes planned though (Breezepelt's plan, SkyClan is present at the final confrontation vs The Kin). Here's my fragments for SkyClan's trip to the Lake,

Being Driven From the Gorge

-So I've spoken before about how I'm going to be limiting The Kin's outsiders severely. I'm committed to that; by the time they've driven SkyClan from the gorge, there are no more than 6 non-Clanborn Kin cats.

-I may be combining Stick's rogue group of SkyClan's Destiny into The Kin.

-It's also important to show Darktail's Modus Operandi here; he infiltrates a group, finds interpersonal quarrels, and then divides-and-conquers.

-So to that end, I'm planning to reignite the Daylight Warrior issue. Darktail exploits Sharpclaw's resentments and the cats who are like him.

-I find this important because I am very uncomfortable about the implication in Hawkwing's Journey that being accepting of outsiders is what caused SkyClan to be literally overrun by Barbaric Hordes.

-The "we need to find firestar's kin" plot of Hawkwing's Journey is cut. Reason: dumb.

In the end: The attack on the SkyClan camp happens in a way that is similar to canon, but this time, there is SkyClan insurgent help, much like the WindClan rebellion.

I like how chaotic, quick, and brutal this battle was so I plan to keep that

In addition; the oak tree planted at the end of Firestar's Quietus (firestar's quest revamped) houses the guardian spirit of Brokenstar. It has to do something here... so I'm imagining that the tree's roots come loose, and it crashes down into the Gorge, killing DOZENS of the Kin's allies and providing a moment where the SkyClan warriors can escape.

(get tree'd idiot)

SO after this, no matter what The Kin's numbers were before this invasion, that number is back at Square 1. Darktail has to start over again with less than 10 cats; only 6 of which are his originals.

Quick aside: The Kin 6

6 is a good goal to shoot for; but I'm still willing to shuffle them around based on suggestions. So here's the 6 I'm planning; Bold means they're locked in stone.

Dragonfly Unfortunate that her bonus chapter went nowhere, so she's getting beefed up. She's sticking around after the Kin defeat, too. I am planning for her to end up in a polycule with Violetshine and Tree.

Flame Kinda nice, competent background cat. Negotiable.

Nettle Father of Flaxfoot and Hopwhisker; has a medicine thing going on

Raven Becomes full mates with Sleekwhisker; useful and loyal Kin cat

Roach Name's cool, generally reliable villain. Negotiable.

Rain Eventually opposing Darktail and trying to kill him in his sleep is interesting, plus how his death traumatizes Violetshine.

So in addition to making any cases for the cats in Sticks's rogues, feel free to shout out any SkyClan cats who could make good Kin villains.

Setting up at the Lake

It's post Bones' lake map o'clock

[ID: A reworking of the warrior cats lake territory map. It is color-coded per clan, with yellow being ThunderClan, purple being ShadowClan, blue being RiverClan, and green being WindClan. Contested borders are marked in red.]

(Note: I am planning to do some reworks to this map at some point as well... not fond of ThunderClan's camp being in a cave anymore tbh)

The main reason why ThunderClan can't expand backwards is because of the rockface at the eastern side of their territory. That red patch to the north used to cause a lot of trouble between ShadowClan and ThunderClan, but now they ALSO have to fit SkyClan there.

Like in canon, SkyClan can expand backwards but still needs to touch the lake. During the shuffle, they're going to agree that walking next to the Long River means truce... but only at its southernmost bend.

There will be conflict over this because, as you can see, ShadowClan's territory is quite small if you only abide by the "obvious" borders. When they need space, they throw their weight around. SkyClan as well finds that northern red patch of mixed forest useful, making it a piece of land that THREE Clans squabble over.

Anyway, map technicalities aside;

-They don't go back to the Gorge because a tree kinda pulled the entire cliff down. Thanks Brokenstar.

-On that note though, Violetshine plants her acorn necklace in the new SkyClan camp. That necklace used to give her and Twig visions of SkyClan; and even protected them at times.

-Even if SkyClan does try to return to the Gorge though, it's not that it's unsafe anymore... it's just not home. They belong with the other Clans.

-In addition, they helped to defeat the Kin now. They have a claim to the Lake, and to solidify it, the Law of the Lake is added by the events of AVoS

Chapter 8

MCs POV

Phil had been in prison for a couple months now, Jake and I are getting on better than ever. He's been so busy in the shop that he has talked about getting a bigger shop. I love how excited he gets when he's working out a plan. Hannah and Lilly are still trying to get back in my life; they just won't take no for an answer.

Jake will be back from work soon. I've been making him a special dinner, he's been so busy I wanted to surprise him. I was even able to update the website and add more things to it. I just need to set the table and get the champagne out of the fridge I thought we could celebrate tonight.

All I need to do now is go change and freshen up before Jake comes back, I think my strapless red dress for tonight Jake loves it when I have it on. It always drives him crazy. I love it when he gets all tongue tied now that I've changed. I just need to light the candles and serve dinner.

MC had everything ready just as she made the final touches Jake had arrived back from work. As he walked in he was met by candles flickering soft music playing in the background. He put his keys down and went into the kitchen where he could smell his favorite dinner cooking.

Jake: wow what's all this it smells amazing

MC: I just wanted to surprise you, you have been working so hard lately

Jake: thank you MC, I love it and I love you

MC: I love you to Jake

They both shared a kiss and sat down to eat. MC had made one of Jake's favorite Chinese dishes, kung pao chicken with a side serving of dumplings, egg fried rice and beef fried rice.

Jake: everything looks so good, this must of taken ages

MC: it was worth it to see the smile on your face

Jake: oh and don't think I haven't notice that red dress, dessert will definitely be out of this world

MC couldn't help but smile. She kissed Jake on the lips softly and both sat down to eat, they both enjoyed each other's company as they talked and laughed. After dinner they cleared away the plates and put what was left over in the fridge.

The next morning Jake woke up early as he had an important meeting to get to, he didn't want to wake MC so he kissed her softly goodbye and left her a note. A Little while later when MC woke she found the note she couldn't help but smile. She got out of bed and went to take a shower after she had finished. She got changed, put a little makeup on and went to grab some coffee.

While she was drinking her coffee her phone buzzed, picking it up Lilly MC couldn't help but roll her eyes in annoyance.

Lilly: Hi MC, hope your okay just wanted to ask if you would meet up with me and Hannah later x

MC: omg Lilly!!! How many times do I have to say this? I don't want to see you or Hannah leave me alone.

Lilly: please MC it's really important to us

MC: Don't you understand the word NO!! Go away and leave me alone

The texts went on for a few more minutes then stopped, MC had had enough of constantly being bothered by them there was only one thing to do and that was block them. So MC did just that blocking both numbers MC put her phone back down then it rang this time it was Jake.

Jake: Hey MC, what are you doing right now?

MC: well I've just blocked Lilly and Hannah they are getting to annoying no

Jake: I'm sorry baby, I've got a surprise for you come meet me outside the aurora

MC: Why the bar?

Jake: I'll explain everything once you get here

MC put the phone down and went to get herself ready, grabbing her jacket and keys she left the apartment and made her way to the bar. When MC arrived at the bar she saw Jake talking with a woman and he had a big smile on his face. They shook hands and the woman walked away holding a briefcase Jake saw MC approaching and ran up to her putting his arms around her spinning her around.

MC: Hello to you, what's got you all excited

Jake: well you know that surprise I told you about well this is it

MC: You bought the aurora but why?

Jake: It's not going to be staying at a bar you remember when I said we should look for a bigger shop? Well this is it

MC: Wow!! This is amazing Jake

Jake: I'm glad that you say that because I will need your help with the design

MC: Anything for a handsome man

Jake took MC inside and explained to her what he had in mind, MC was loving every minute of it. She thought that going into the bar would bring back painful memories but all she could feel was pure happiness. Over the next 6 months the bar started to get ripped out, everything inside was to be pulled out and gotten rid off. MC was going through the office throwing everything into boxes she found Phil's secret collection of Playboy's. She just rolled her eyes in disgust and threw them into one of the boxes.

As MC was dumping some of the boxes into the skip Hannah and Lilly came over wanting to talk to MC. MC tried to get back inside before they got closer but it was too late.

Hannah: MC! Wait please we just want to talk

MC: I have nothing to say to either of you leave me alone

Lilly: MC please don't be so rude hear Hannah out

MC: Me? You don't want me to be rude!!! How dare you, your whore of a sister opens her legs for any guy walking past her and you want me to not be rude go fuck yourselfs

Lilly: we just wanted to talk that's all we want you to be in the baby's life

Hannah: I was thinking that you could maybe look after Izzy for a few hours while I go shopping

MC didn't say anything, she walked closer to Hannah and slapped her as hard as she could, knocking Hannah to the floor.

MC: I am going to say this once and only once leave me the hell alone because of you don't you will regret it for the rest of your lives

MC turned round and Jake was standing near the door, she walked towards him and he put her around her waist and walked her inside.

About Internet Water Army in the case

This is an ongoing update about the case from start to development. List of all related posts can be found on this blog's pinned post (link provided at bottom of each post as well).

19 August 2021 update: Added the scale of his success for reference, before bonus below

18 August 2021 update: Added timeline of events, orange title in post, found out the official English term for Immoral Media = Internet Water Army)

Major updates since first draft: Added bonus, added disclaimer, certain info details

Originally posted on 16 August 2021

[The purpose of this post is to provide a perspective as to why the Media is raised/blamed regarding the issue. Especially for international fans, as all the encounters happened on Weibo. Also, those who were on weibo, do read through if you will. So although it's lengthy, do try to read all, at least if not the last two parts].

The Media referred by most, is not the common perception of the Entertainment Industry (celebrities, directors, shows, channels, staff etc), but the dark side of the Entertainment industry: Antis, toxic fans, toxic marketing accounts. They are called Internet Water Army💧.

Toxic Marketing Accounts is one of the things they do, these accounts on Weibo has millions of followers, each of their post likes are in the hundred thousands (buyable) to give credibility to passer-bys. Some use similar names to Official accounts, some use similar logos. Their posts are usually subjective or aims to steer view points of a certain celebrity/movie/show. Before the latest update of this post (18.08.21), I just group them all together and term them as Immoral Media*.

*Below is my original post using my original term because at point of first draft, I did not know the official term (so have changed/added the term from Immoral Media to Internet Water Army in content below but retain the content based off first draft).

If you have chased before celebrities, or just simply passed by an article about certain celebrities, recall how some title that caught your attentions were like. Clickbaits is one of the many things they do. If GZ is your first and you do not have Weibo, then this read(link) is good enough.

Just as the term Immoral Media (Internet Water Army), it’s immoral and unethical, but they exists because they are paid to do so. Who pays them? Entertainment Companies, and maybe other Organisations

Normal Media/Marketing vs Immoral Media/Toxic Marketing/Internet Water Army

When a show or movie comes out, the normal Marketing department will generate outreach and buzz so that people know a show is airing soon/know the show exists etc. Official announcements are not enough, because there isn’t much context (limited content to put up as well) so having some other Marketing accounts do the buzz in a planned period to gain awareness through posts, some articles about the casts, the plot summary, the production details etc is normal. This is Marketing, bigger companies will probably have stronger Marketing departments (aka influence) and can hire more Marketing accounts to generate buzz. Celebrities (aka casts) themselves, are also Marketing point.

Then we have the Internet Water Army/Immoral Media, these are what they mainly do:

Create Fanfiction-rumors: Creating rumors about celebrities to shift audience perception of them. [eg. XX was seen with XX leaving a hotel, XX was drunk on Event Y and did ZZZ to AA, XX is dating BB and has been in a relationship for N years etc]

Honing their brain degrading skills: Come up with titled clickbait headings/ trending topics with negative written contents. For articles, exceptionally out of heading content related to the celebrity. [Refer to Baidu, it’s a winner of these, feel free to Google Translate]

Regressing their common sense and understanding skills: Take everything a celebrity does completely out of context in a negative way and create a topic out of it [eg. XX said AA is a ---, “XX raised his finger, a sign of ---?”, XX pushed BB aggressively on Variety Show Y - A competition variety show, XX is in beef with CC because XX was caught giving CC the eye]

Using their fingers to stir shit and bathe each other in it: Escalate all smallest form of possible tension created by fans/themselves into a huge thing by acting as the fandom's fans/lurk in fandom chat groups, and voicing their disguised opinion to spread tension/exaggerate severity of the issue [eg. XX fans mocked AA - in groupchats: tbh I've never liked AA before, AA just gives off a vibe that I dont like and now this? It just disgusts me even more > Yea, i feel this way too. AA has problems / XX Lurkers expressing views on XX about NN, slowly to NNMHFXW - XX did NNMHGT - I cannot accept NNmHfHw, I'm leaving = multiply by 1000++]

Epitome of a self-deteriorate: Creating something out of nothing and react to that something negatively to gain massive attention/reaction [eg. “XX raised his hand on show Y” - dk what XX fans are thinking, are they literally blind? XX fans are tasteless just like XX hahaha / “XX did community service” - they are acting / “XX breathed” - From the start, i thought XX was NN, but I am so ZZZ that XX breathed. Goodbye fandom, i’m leaving. Those who still want to stay I urge you to rethink your life choices] - if I may add, Xiao Zhan’s fanfiction case as well. 

Metaphor - Ability to use bare hands to collect paychecks from the urinal/toilet bowl where their boss/client peed in: Doing all of the above.

Apologies for any term offense, but not apologetic of the term context. This is what they do for a living. Any normal human being who do not like anything, will generally not be interested at anything about it in the first place, so to have some antis/toxic fans knowing certain things and inside jokes/references in their posts questions their goal.

On involved in Internet Water Army/Immoral Media 💧

Fans on weibo during these few months witnessed many of the above on GZ. From rumored girlfriend (spammed with articles) to mean and nasty comments on trending topics, to bouts of insults and fake emotional cryouts by certain fan accounts that GZ's office has to release a number of Lawyer’s letter to them. 

Aside from WOH there were also a few other BL adaptation films that were actually released this year but they did not reach exponential success like WOH. BL adaptations are so highly followed by because this is the key to wealth. Literally. Successful BLs like The Untamed and  Dao Mu Bi Ji saw the amount of wealth fans are willing to spend on the celebrity as compared to say BG or idols (younger fan groups). This is why when WOH shot up exponentially, Immoral Media start to sweat.

Major anticipated adaptations were supposed to air this year eg. Hao Yi Xing(HYX), Sha Po Lang(SPL) etc but was severely held back due to the stricter change in BL adaptations submitting their scripts for approval regulations (WOH manage to submit earlier before the change). Because of this, most final films were rejected and they have to keep re-editing, by then WOH was already months into reaping tonnes of major brand endorsements, shows/movie casting, variety show appearances etc, something that is seen as too successful in the Immoral Media’s eyes, because they have to create buzz for other celebrities, some are specific celebrity oriented and thus circulate rumors about having endorsement opportunities shifted from celebrity X to GZ (think fanfiction-rumors and shit stirrer) causes tension in celebrity fandoms. - A real event just in July:

The Untamed’s cp fandom is called BJYX which had always been in the Top 1 of Cps for 2 years dropped for awhile to Top 2, over taken by LLD. Both of them had a war and hated each fandom, one fandom is somehow not allowed to like the other fandom even casually after everything broke out because it started out with some BJYX toxics photoshopped GZ on of portraits .

Also another case of which he wore the same costume as WYB did in a previous photoshoot and it became a useless comparison of who wore better, who looks better, degrading the other. (Finger stirring shit).

Now apply all of the above things the Internet Water Army do and we have them earning money, while both fandom reacts and hate each other.

In LLD, our own fans started suspecting each other on who is a spy from BJYX and what not.

The first few months of Internet Water Army saw LLDs mostly mocking them because the average age is 30-40s, they know and see through all of their intentions so nothing was big. They were trumpeting and LLDs didn’t even care, what with all the doing tedious stats was not even important to them.

Over time, as the issues they create became more and more serious LLDs did start to care, reporting Toxic Marketing accounts/toxic fans became a daily task, go vote for GZ at certain polls etc, solo fans, and LLD fans also split apart. Solo fans think cp fans use GZ to furnish their fantasies, and cp fans thinks they are the ones furnishing their dreaming-girls fantasy with (aka my boyfriend).

There was also a period where LLD had a habit of continuously mentioning “we are in the 30-40s so we can see through everything about the media, we are all fans for the first time, we are good at spending money (because of purchase power compared to other fandoms)” it was prevalent for so long it felt odd, ‘chasing celebrities the first time’ in particular sounds more vulnerable as a weakness than a strength / sth to be proud of.

Gradually, more secretive/insider confirmed ‘sweets’ were flying around. Fans advised each other to not circulate, and the mindset of “if you know, you know, dont tell.” (This is a problematic mentality, of which fans will still be curious to know and search for it themselves, but this secretive hook is unhealthy. Over the long term, it becomes hard for existing fans to know a lot of things properly to judge for themselves, especially those who knew and publicly reacted, but blasting those who ask and telling those who know to keep quiet, this did not help some to understand why on certain things, even so for international fans, dont know and dont understand, causing misunderstandings. Yes, certain information should not be shared, so why should you react about it publicly in the first place? - Internet Water Army effect)

The last few months (for example the July fan war) created a tonne of seriousness and anger. A period even broke out with a tonne of ‘insider confirmed sweets’ (which is LLD’s daily dose of happiness), it was hard to tell what was real and what was fake. Trending topics became negative and everyone warned each other not to enter because it will give the trends ‘views’ and trend statistics, in reality entering there is to enter an exhibition by the self-deteriorates, collecting the fandom's traffic data (it's a sure lose for fans each time they enter the topic). Everyone even starts thinking that the trend’s popularity was caused by each other (it's true but it can be bought daily and not caused by fans). There was a raise in the number of fans who were getting emotional because they want to protect but Internet Water Army kept coming and got worse, because fans, tbh, not just GZ fans, every other celebrity’s fans are always fighting with an Army, getting played and plotted in that Army's calendar.

Even so, despite all of these, LLD is actually a fandom Internet Water Army may find the hardest to break because they understand GZ so much, they could tell what are fake news regarding GZ, because among everything above, there are still plenty of logical fans to stop many fans from drifting too far and debunking them. Why? 30-40s are grown up adults.

Why 13.8.21 and the Japan issue is plotted?

First of all, in the political climate of China, there are many political dates in a month that is NO-Entertainment news. Because it’s the honoring of certain important political events. It’s like Remembrance Day, thus the sensitivity is higher. On these days, there are usually no news and even the Internet Water Army zip their pants. This year also marks the 100th year of the Chinese Communist Party(link)

Secondly, he had no work schedule on 13 August 2021. A great full day to focus on any other news (because if he had schedules, everyone will turn their attention to his events, what trumpeting outside is just bird chirps). 

Thirdly, when the news broke out, especially about the shrine, the reception was actually quite serious within the fandom so the scale of this might be big but to what extent in reality?

Lastly, 15.8.21 marks the 76th anniversary of the announcement of surrender of Japanese in World War 2(link). Also a day of NO-Entertainment news. 

Timeline of events:

13.8.21 - [His rest day, Eve of Chinese Valentine's Day, Japan News broke out] His rest day, no schedules = increased attention about him online. Lowered guard among fans because they are getting ready for tomorrow's Chinese Valentine's sweets = Caught off guard = Huge break out of fans' reactions

14.8.21 - [Chinese Valentine's Day, Eve of the 75th Anniversary of the announcement of Japanese surrender] Keep a wishful and happy demenaor to not destroy the mood, suppressed thoughts about ZZH's Japan news

15.8.21 - [75th Anniversary of the announcement of Japanese surrender, Official announcement of ZZH's boycott and all China social media account ban] NO-Entertainment news day, Solemn day, not allowed to voice anything so the fandom can only wait for tomorrow to start voicing out/debunking but before they can wait out, the boycott and social media ban happened, every official accounts about him was gone overnight, fans had no time to react

17.8.21 - [All official fandom accounts related to ZZH and JunZhe were locked/removed]

Forced to be silent since the day his matter broke out, over the course of official news release with everything taken down in a day because of the Japan correspondence, his accounts banned overnight across the Chinese media and the overnight cancellation, fans could not speak anything about it. Overnight cancellation like this scale happened for the first time in China, leaving no time to react by the fandom, by the time they can, they are silenced.

When the period of events occured within a set of special dates, it’s not coincidence.

Conclusion

Because he was too successful and had many actually honorable past things, and a hard to influence fandom, Internet Water Army view him as a huge threat enough to want to destroy him, because it’s hard to defeat. With a chance they have, they will hold it till the end, bringing up this issue to the Government during this period also shows a sign of how scared they were of him and perhaps his fandom to plot something like this.

Updated on 19 August: Here's a screenshot of assumed calculation on the scale of GZ success for reference while chatting with a fellow fan, assuming GJ also has 27 brands, and there are 1000 brands. Rationale of numbers used: Only big brands can hire big celebrities.

Bonus

Mentioned in the first post, will mention again in case. After the news broke out within 2 days, there was a drop on his weibo followers from 18.9mil to 18.7mil. 200k+ drops, if the politics was such a big national issue, there should at least be a huge drop, even at least a million right? Because weibo is a China-Chinese majority right? Nope, we get a puny 200k drop.

What's funny? The self-deteroriates:

Translation: "Are his fans bought? Why didnt he drop fans? Those people got brainwashed to this point?" / "I've never entered his weibo and today i feel like having a look yet it showed I've followed him. All his fans were bought right? It disgusts me, i immediately unfollowed. This kind of process is worse than WYF..." / "i dropped fans because of him...no...I just reposted 2 posts and I've dropped 4 fans?"

Isn't the tone and regressing brain cells, all too familiar and same?

//

Added above, will remind again to read this link. It has an even more in-depth knowledge on who are paying them.

So what should we do? Link here

my thoughts on buddie as "toxic shipping"

i recently read a post that discussed "toxic shipping" of mlm ships by straight women and their main/first example was buddie so i wanna talk about that. i won't be linking that post because i don't want people to hate on the op and clog their notes unnecessarily.

more thoughts and correct capitalization under the cut:

However, I do want to say that people often assume that the main shippers of mlm couples are cishet women and that is very often not true. I can't say this definitively, of course, and I've heard horror stories of middle-aged cishet white women who literally write mlm fanfiction but aren't cool with real life gay people (especially lesbians). However, as a (cis, white) lesbian I have many other queer friends who enjoy mlm fanfiction.

Okay, now more specifically with Buddie. I don't remember the exact points in this critique, but I'm going to try to focus on the ones I do remember. Hopefully, if that op finds this, they won't think I'm completely twisting their words. The first thing I want to say is that I don't know if the op has watched the show or just interacted with the fanbase. Either way, I have done both and want to add some insight.

Firstly, a big problem with non-canon mlm shipping is when fans hate on the real female love interests in the source material. Buddie fans definitely do this, but I want to give a bit of defense, centering three of the most important female love interests of both Buck and Eddie.

Abby Clark (Buck)

I don't have beef with Abby as a person or a character, but she very much hurt Buck and the way she left was a bit of an asshole move. I haven't seen a lot of criticism of her other than that and I think criticizing that is fair.

2. Ana Flores (Eddie)

Ana does get an unreasonable amount of hate, but it's still not that much from my POV? Most of what I've seen of Ana hate is just fanfiction where she is extremely OOC, and she doesn't show up enough on-screen for the audience to truly know her character. I think people mostly use her as a plot device, which is unfair but also kinda what happens to her in canon too. I also want to mention racism in connection with people hating Ana, as I am sure it (both consciously and unconsciously) affects how she is perceived, but as a white woman who has not done a lot of research I'm going to leave it there for other people to dig deeper into.

3. Taylor Kelly (Buck)

Oh Taylor Kelly. She is a much more active character than Ana, and even more than Abby simply because she's been in more seasons. Taylor has a very dynamic character on the show, and she gets a lot of that "canon female love interest of half of an mlm ship" hate. But also, Taylor Kelly fucking sucks! In canon, her and Buck have finally broken up, so I don't see a problem in saying that they were not right for each other, plus she did a bunch of really shitty stuff to the firehouse. She was literally introduced in an episode where she filmed the 118 while they were non-consensually drugged! And left after an episode where she made a promise to Buck about keeping their privacy and then immediately broke that promise for her job. Okay, I don't want to make this just a Taylor Kelly hate post, so that's all I'm gonna say about her. I understand that she has her own motivations and trauma but she's still done a lot of bad things and I am glad Buck broke up with her.

OKAY DONE WITH THAT

The other main point that the op had was that it's shitty to call a ship queerbaiting if there are already queer people/couples in the show, and representation of other diverse peoples (paraphrasing, please don't attack them). This is... kinda obviously not true? I mean, one of the best (worst for the audience) examples of queerbaiting is Sterek, which comes from a show with a Latin lead and at least a few queer side characters. Another good example is Supernatural, which does not have any main characters of color or queer characters (as far as I remember, and I'm not including Castiel because he was queer for like 5 seconds before dying), but has several POC and queer side characters, including some recurring characters like Charlie (and others, idk i don't watch spn sorry).

"But Zoe, those are different! 9-1-1 has main characters that are queer and POC!" This is true, but the importance of their queerness and/or race is rarely touched upon. Think about it: Hen and Karen get about 2 episodes per season that actually focuses on them and their relationship, and one of the first ones is literally Hen cheating. Not really fantastic representation. Also, like, queer people often flock together, so having more than one queer main character is not "unrealistic" or whatever the problem is.

Lastly, I want to talk about Buddie itself.

I don't really think it can be called full queerbaiting, because I think that has to go beyond the screen and include promotional footage (like Sterek) and cons (like Destiel), which I haven't seen any of. However, I am fairly new to the fandom, and only found out Oliver Stark is British like two months ago. So maybe there have been outside hints that could make Buddie queerbait if it doesn't become canon. Either way, there's definitely something there, and I don't appreciate the way outsiders have gaslit fandoms for several years into thinking they've just "put on shipping goggles" or something like that.

We all saw Eddie's entrance to the show, right? When "What A Man" starts playing as Buck slow-mo turns around to see Eddie half-naked? I don't think this ship is the end-all be-all of TV romance, but it's definitely got a lot of hints in there that were purposeful by the actors, directors, editors, and crew. If not queerbaiting, they have definitely participated in some queer-coding/romance-coding of this couple and we are not insane for noticing that.

ANYWAY

that's it, and I hope I didn't accidentally co-opt a discussion of a deeper topic, but I want other shippers (god I hate that word it sounds so juvenile) to know that we're not insane or seeing things no one else does.

thanks for reading and also all the fish!

Langa VS. the Assholes Who Hurt Reki

Summary: Langa and Reki have finally made up! But that doesn't mean that they no longer have problems.

(or, Langa just wants Reki to be happy, but for some reason people are very against that.)

Warnings: Swearing (Langa has has enough), Mentions of violence, Ad*m.

Words: 1.7k

(haha wdym the title is a star vs the forces of evil pun,,, no it isnt haha)

The stars in Okinawa reflected the sea, and the sound of their laughter along with the scraping of wheels against the cement ground is one that symbolizes peace, unity, and pure, unadulterated love.

Langa and Reki are alright again, and everything is right with the world.

"You... What?" Langa looked befuddled, an unidentifiable look on his features, as Reki nervously fiddled with his fingers, blushing from embarrassment. From what? He doesn't know.

"It's— it's not as bad as you think!" Reki said hurriedly, but by now there was a prominent frown on Langa's face, "it's— I was just ran over by a car—"

"Just," Langa emphasized, his voice uncharacteristically firmer and louder, "ran over by a car? Reki, do you think everyone just gets run over by a car? And do you think people who get run over by a car wake up in a love hotel? With a stranger?"

It's the next day since Langa and Reki's making up from their fight, and neither of them quite expected that the comeback of their roof-top lunches would start with Reki accidentally spilling that he was in a love hotel. Much less brought to a love hotel because he was ran over. By a stranger.

Everything was all so suddenly not-right, and Langa couldn't decide if this was better, or worse.

"—Langa? Hey, earth to Prince Langa!" Reki snapped his fingers in front of Langa's face, and the latter blinked, wondering when he started to get lost in his thoughts, and—wow. Reki seemed a bit too close to his face right now. Not that he was complaining.

There was a cute pout on Reki's lips, Langa guessed it was caused by his own neglect of their conversation. The former, though, upon noticing that his companion's eyes were on his lips, blushed bright red again, and brought back distance between them. Langa didn't stop the disappointed sigh from his lips, but the disappointment didn't last long.

His face once again etched up in concern, looking at Reki, who was facing down at the ground, his headband covering his cheeks, in an attempt to cool them down. Langa let a small, fond smile on his lips, before shaking it off once he remembered what Reki mentioned earlier.

"Reki, you can't just brush this off," Langa said, eyebrows furrowing and his chest hardening in both concern and frustration, "what else happened to you when I wasn't around?"

Reki sneaked a glance at Langa, before sheepishly turning away.

"Nothing," Reki said, but the lie obvious to Langa, "and you're talking a lot about this, like last night."

Langa frowned, "of course I am, you worry me a lot when you say 'it's nothing' or 'I'm fine'," he played with the hem of his shirt, before letting go and continuing, "because most of the time, you're lying."

Reki said nothing, only burrowing farther in himself. Langa huffed, frustration building up in him. If Reki thought it was surprising to see him chatty, he'll definitely have a heart attack after this.

Langa engulfed Reki in a hug, and it wasn't only the latter who gasped in surprise. Perhaps they've gathered some nosy onlookers?

Who cares?, Langa thought, Reki's the only thing that's important right now.

"Reki, be honest please?" Langa said, voice muffled, as he buried his face on Reki's shoulder.

"O-okay! Langa, okay, I'll tell you!" Reki stuttered out, a flustered mess, from the way he spoke, "just, let go, please?" He whispered to Langa, "people are kind of looking at us right now."

Langa didn't care who saw them, honestly. But he got what he wanted, and he didn't want Reki to be embarrassed too bad, so he let go of Reki's waist, and sat back to where he was positioned earlier.

He looked at Reki expectantly, but with patience. The latter picked at his nails in nervousness, wherein Langa took one of his hands to ease his anxiety.

Reki brought back Langa's hands, and started staring down at them and playing with them. He seemed to calm down, as his cheeks were no longer red, and Langa sent a dirty look to the passersby who were looking at them with keen interest, when Reki wasn't looking.

Reki swallowed, and looked up at him.

He scrunched up his face and looked away for a second, scratching his cheek with a finger, a small flush on his cheeks, "uhm..." letting out a sigh, Reki collected his thoughts and said, "erm, before I met you, I used to be in this sort of team? Gang? Thing... It was for skating." Reki added, upon the worried and horrified look on Langa's face, and the latter let out a sigh of relief, and encouraged him to continue.

"Er, they were sort of—they weren't really people I wanted to hang out with?" Reki mumbled, sheepishly, "they, uhm, they weren't really ones who enjoyed skating? They did it for the aesthetic, basically, and it made them sort of lame for me.

"So, I quit after three days."

Langa only seemed confused, so Reki added, "and well, I saw them while walking through the market and they kind of..." Reki mumbled the last part, and Langa blinked.

"'They kind of' what?" Langa pressed on, and Reki swallowed.

"They jumped me, but—" Reki immediately started to add, silencing a seething Langa with the palm of his hand.

Langa was nothing short of furious, and he was ready to tell Joe about this development to gang up on the little fucks that put a hand on Reki. And you know what? He'll do the same to that stranger! He'll make them have hell to pay, damn it, how dare they hurt his Reki.

But he couldn't express any of this right now, with Reki's hand on his mouth, so he (begrudgingly) let Reki continue.

"—but, it's fine! It's all in the past now. 'Sides, I kind of felt like I deserved it? I mean, I didn't actually deserve it—" he said, at the furious glare Langa sent to him, "it's just—well, it didn't compare to the people at S, y'know I—oops."

Reki flustered, detaching his palm from Langa's mouth to cover his own. Langa squashed the giddy feeling of that indirect kiss, and firmly, but with a gentleness Reki absolutely deserved, placed his hands on both of Reki's shoulders.

"What did 'the people of S' do, Reki?" Langa grounded out, tired of all of these people out to hurt Reki. Out of everyone he knew, Reki was the last one to deserve this much abuse.

Reki looked up at Langa, and knew he couldn't just lie his way out of not telling him. He looked down for a moment, simmering in guilt—of what?— and looked back up at Langa, setting his hands on his lap.

"They, uh. They would talk behind my back, and uhm, and talk about... How I'm just... A useless... Er," Reki struggled to find the words, and he felt tears sting at his eyes, and he looked up, not wanting them to fall. Langa felt guilty at making him relive these memories, but he needs to know exactly how he'll hurt these assholes.

Reki looked down, at his hands, and then at Langa, then he said, "they'd say that I'm no one... That I'm just... 'the guy who hangs around Snow'... Or just..." Reki bit his lip, "the one who's not Snow."

Langa was reminded of a meme, back from when he was still very much devoid of Reki and his kindness, talent, and all around amazing-ness. It was a dubbed line from an anime, wasn't it?

This is the first time in my life that I've been provoked to hit a woman.

Except they weren't a woman, in fact, they were the plethora of annoying assholes who made Reki feel worse than he already did.

Talk about kicking a guy while he was down.

"Names." Langa said, plain and simple.

"Huh?" Reki said, confused and flustered.

"I want their names, Reki."

"Langa, they were total strangers! Which makes it even more pathetic that their words got to me, honestly—"

"Don't blame yourself for them being stupid and blind." Langa said firmly, "you're amazing, Reki. Don't let them make you think otherwise."

At that, Reki smiled, and playfully punched Langa's shoulder, "thanks, Langa."

Before Reki could pull his hand away, Langa took it in both of his own, "I'm serious. You're so amazing Reki—"

Reki blushed, "th-thanks man, you're amazing too—"

"—you really don't understand, when you skate, you're the only thing I see—"

"—that's really enough!"

"—and you know exactly what I need, and you don't even have to try that hard to figure it out—"

"—is this even about skating anymore, Langa?"

"—and I think your headband is neat, but you look so cute without it, and your hair is a lot more fluffy—"

"Alright!" Reki squeaked out, just as the bell rang, signalling the end of the lunch period, "we'll talk about this later, we have to go back to school—er, class!" Flustered, Reki fixed his headband, and stomped his way back to the classroom.

Langa let out blissful laughter, and for now, he was satisfied with his work. He hoped it'd be enough for Reki to temporarily forget what those people did and said to him. Hoped it distracted Reki enough to not figure out that Langa was planning to find out everything with the rest of the gang, and would be punishing the ones who offended Reki accordingly.

He ran up to Reki, and offered his hand to the latter, whose cheeks were still flushed.

To his delight, Reki took his hand, and they walked down back to their classroom, hand in hand.

Later that evening, uncannily enough, Adam proposed an idea to the duo. A rematch, he had said, to redeem Reki of his loss in their last beef. There was an obvious, underlying malice, in his offer, though. Reki looked terrified, yet determined, but before he could agree, Langa had stepped in front of him, a chilling glower directed at Adam, who only smirked.

Langa had enough of people wanting to hurt Reki, and hated that smug face on Adam's features so much (it promised to hurt Reki to the point that he would be irreparable, and Langa was furious), that before Adam could even comment at Langa's protective stance, he had been punched in the face by the latter.

And, well, Joe seemed a bit inspired to do the same.

The Fantastic Union Four™ — Road Trip AU

the nth part

In case you don't know what I am writing about, this is what I am talking about, so feel free to catch up on that before you proceed further with this text 😏

.

The fantastic Union four™ has just left Texas to Sheridan's relief, though with a low low key dread that he couldn't get beef jerky as good as the one he got in Texas lol.

They stopped at yet another roadside attraction that Sheridan recommends. Thomas, weary from the long drive, and Sherman, eager for a little break from the car ride, agree to stop by at the attraction. Grant is slightly nonplussed — yet another delay to the trip — but considering that he could get to have a smoke he too acquiesces.

At said roadside attraction, Grant goes at a certain quiet spot for a smoke while the other three explore the place. He reaches for his cigarette, unfortunately he runs out of it.

Sighing, Grant feels let down until a group of strangers approach him and wondering about his problem. He tells them that he forgot to buy a box of cigarette when he last stopped at a rest area, and now that he runs out of it he feels slightly annoyed about it. Hearing this story, the strangers kindly offer him a stick of cigarette or so he thought it was.

Touched by the gesture, Grant is quite relieved at first when he lights up the cigarette. "It might be slightly different from the usual cigarette, but we're sure you gonna love it!" say the strangers. As he inhales the smoke more times he realizes that it is different — it smells funny and feels funky in his mouth. It was actually a joint.

When the other three are done with going around the attraction, they call on Grant to get in the car. He is just standing at where he is, unresponsive, with his back facing them. Perplexed, Sherman approaches Grant, taps him on the shoulder and pulls him so that Grant faces him.

Sherman: "Hey Ulyss come on, let's hop on back into the car, we're going back on the road..."

Grant: (startled) "...h-HUH??!?"

Sherman: "Come on, it's your turn to drive now..."

Grant: "...b-b-Billy, is that you...?"

Sherman: "Yeah of course it's me..." (Notices something unusual with Grant's face) "...what happened to you??"

Sherman calls on the other two to check on Grant — certainly something has happened to him. He seems like someone in delirium though not due to alcohol ("He was just smoking, right? How could he become like this??"). Sheridan and Thomas ask him if he did something else other than smoking. Grant, just as puzzled and panicked as the other three, blurts that he was just smoking that's all he did! Thomas wonders if it is not a regular cigarette that Grant was smoking ("...was it opium? But how???"). Sheridan keeps on asking questions, Grant keeps panicking, Sherman tries to steady him...

At any rate Grant cannot drive as previously planned, so Sherman has to drive again after Thomas. Sheridan offers to drive but Thomas and Sherman soundly reject his offer. ("But why, I thought you were still tired from your previous drive??" "...it's fine, I can still drive a bit more. I've rested for quite a bit, and besides, I am still a safer driver than you are..."😛). Sherman and Sheridan launch into a brief spat until Thomas breaks them both after he gets Grant into the car, sitting on the back seat.

So Sherman takes the wheel and it turns out to be a rougher drive than expected. Trying to get to the next stop (ie. a town and the motel they'll stay at) as fast as he could, he proceeds to drive fast as he usually does. This time however, as he speeds up, Grant, who is in a delirious state of mind, shrieks when he feels the throttle of the car. Sheridan, sitting next to him, tries to calm him by holding him down tightly, only for Grant to wail in panic. He thrashes about, trying to shake Sheridan off of him wailing and yowling. Blood drains down Thomas' face, he is struck by panic that ensues in the car, albeit still being impeccably composed on the outside. He is split between trying to calm Grant down from the front seat and telling Sherman to slow down. Failing to comfort Grant from the front seat, he urges Sherman to slow down.

Sherman: "What do you mean by slow down the faster we drive the briefer we have to endure this..."

Thomas: "THAT IS NOT HOW ALL OF THIS WORKS!"

Sheridan: "Ulyss it's me, calm down we got your back..." (Proceeds to squeeze Grant's arms tighter)

Grant: "AAAEEEEEOOIHHJGGHJKJK MOTHEEEER, JULIAAAA HELP MEEEEEE AKIIDSFWDZJJK"

Sherman the speed demon that he is keeps on driving fast among the havoc breaking within the car, until Grant vomits and makes an utter mess in the car. Sherman brakes abruptly but the car behind them almost crashes their car from the rear so he has to throttle again (and Grant panics again) and after a bit more driving they stop by the side of the road.

They take care of Grant and clean the mess up as much as they can. Afterwards, Thomas decides to sit in the back, to try calming Grant down for the rest of the ride as well as he can. Thomas admonishes Sherman sternly to drive more carefully. Sherman acquiesces, and for once he drives more slowly than usual (though nowhere near as slow (or steady) as Thomas wants it — more like Grant's usual pace of driving).

When they finally reach the motel they help Grant out of the car and into his room. Grant is supposed to be rooming together with Sherman that night but now with his current condition, Thomas has to keep watch on him as well leaving Sheridan alone in his room. They end up keeping watch on Grant for the whole night. (They end up staying for an extra night at that motel as well)

The next morning, after just a few winks of sleep between the two of them...

Thomas: "Hey Cump, can I...talk one on one with you?"

Sherman: "Sure."

Thomas: "Alright, good" (raises from his chair) "Follow me."

Sherman: "Why can't we talk about it just here? It's not like Ulyss can hear us right now?"

Thomas: "I want to make sure it's truly a one-to-one conversation."

Sherman: "...okay..." (raises from the chair, following Thomas, who is heading out to another place for talking)

(At the other place outside of Grant's room)

Sherman: "So what it is that you want to talk ab..."

Thomas: !!!SLAP!!!

Sherman: (holding his left cheek) "TOM WHAT THE HE..."

Thomas: (grips Sherman by the sides firmly, shaking his body) "HOW COULD YOU BE SO RECKLESS GOING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE IN THIS TRIP?? BY GOD, CUMP, HAVE MORE RESTRAIN ON YOURSELF!!"

Sherman: "Do you really think I have no restraint..."

Thomas: "...yes, YES YOU ARE! BY GOD, do you not see yourself bickering with Sheridan all the time..."

Sherman: "...but it was just a friendly banter..."

Thomas: "...at the expense of Grant's condition??"

Sherman: (utterly baffled and startled, glaring incredulously at Thomas)

Thomas: (still gripping Sherman's arms tightly) "I can't be the only sane adult left in the car, I ask...no, I IMPLORE you, Cump, hold on to any shreds of sanity left in your mind — I know you are of a rational mind, and yet...you fall for fits of passion more often than it is expedient..."

Sherman: (flustered) "...okay...but what about Ulyss?"

Thomas: "Ulyss is a ball of nervous wreck. Your bickering with Sheridan certainly doesn't help, but even without that he doesn't seem to be as steady as I thought he'd be on this trip..." (sighs) "...and I don't think I can get through to him the way I get through to you, so please..." (grips Sherman's shoulders) "...don't add more fuel to the fire..."

Sherman: "...alright, I will do my best on it..."

Thomas: "...good. Now always sit in the front even when you are not driving... I'll have to drive again for the next leg of the trip..."

Sherman: "Do I get to navigate again?"

Thomas: "No, I already got that down."

Sherman: "Oh come on..."

Meanwhile, while Sherman and Thomas have their talk, Sheridan checks in on Grant. Grant is sleeping, he seems to be in a slightly better condition than last night when he last saw him. He watches by the bedside, and then Grant wakes up, slowly and drowsily. Sheridan asks about how he feels, and he offers Grant a glass of water. Still drowsy, Grant refuses the offer. Sheridan insists that he has a glass of water — he hasn't consumed anything since their stop at the roadside attraction. Grant relents, and he ends up drinking a sip or two. Afterwards he sinks back into sleep. Sheridan was worried, and by the time Grant sinks back into sleep Sherman and Thomas enter the room. They talk about their current situation and decide to stay one more night at the motel (clean the car more, and fetch some food to eat (especially something for Grant)).

Vore events!

Trevor and Skye (vore story)

For @vore4life and @texanstrong

Today is the day that I get to meet up with two Americans that want to be eaten or vored as some of you might say. Once a year predators and preys meet up at a secret location (changes locations every year due to hiding from the enforcement teams) and this year being British I've decided to travel over to experience this event.

I heard from my American friends that you rarely meet a British Predator so being invited by the event organizers, I accepted their warm invitation and the free travel!! What a trip this is going to be!

You see Trevor and Skye are two friends I've met through Tumblr. Both guys are amazing in their own ways. Trevor is an active Marine based in his home state 'Texas' who has a very muscular body along with his handsome face. Trevor is very sociable due to his job and he is a predator himself but he doesn't know that I am planning to vore him. I want to gain muscles very quickly and there is no better tastier option than voring an active Marine in his prime years. Prime Beef ready to be eaten!!

Then you got this cute twink called 'Skye' he is very mysterious and very shy. I have seen one photo of him and he sure is a very cute twink. From what he has described to me that he has these amazing amber eyes and very tight arse. With him being mysterious, I can't wait to vore him and add him as extra muscle to the muscles I would have gained from Trevor. Same time I hoping to gain his amber eyes during the process so it will define me as the alpha predator at this event. I do wonder how Skye will taste considering he's a bloody gorgeous twink that soon will be only muscle on my body!

Going on from there, you now know that Trevor and Skye were complete opposites to build wise but both have the same fate when they meet me. Trevor thinking he will walk away from this with only being vored and spat out afterward with Skye inside him.

Sorry guys, I have different plans for both of you. Luckily Trevor doesn't have to travel far compared to the distance that Skye has. This comes at a huge advantage for myself as I planning to eat Trevor first and gain his muscles and fully digest him before Skye comes so he doesn't have any idea that his time will be up next. Skye will see my defined muscles and will fall into my arms, I know he loves a well-muscled guy.

Right now I'm at the hotel which I am staying near the location of the event. Trevor will be here any minute now and I must get to work straight away as Skye will arrive a few hours later. I just hope Trevor turns up in his uniform so I can wear it at the event. No one will notice that this is an actual real Marines uniform while we know it is. A small reminder of how a real predator works. Fool the prey into their space and swallow them up! I vored enough people back home and each one has a very distinctive taste. Sometimes it can taste like the last meal they had or the shower gel they used. For Skye, I will lure him into the shower for quick fucking while I rub the cocoa butter over him to make him taste like sweet chocolate! Damn this going to be amazing turning up at the event as an Alpha predator ready to eat every prey that comes up to me!

**I hear a knock at my door**

This was it, Trevor finally arrived for his ending, I tidied myself up and answered the door. I saw my first meal of the day standing there in his Marines uniform looking proud of serving his country. I must say Trevor is one handsome Marine with all that prime beef muscles on him. I let him in and like anyone else we introduced ourselves and we had quite a laugh about transformations and vore. We were still amazed that vore was actually a real-life thing.

The thing I learned about Trevor that he was self-conscious about his appearance and asked if he could use the shower! I was thinking 'YES YES YESSS' in my head and I said yeah. He took his uniform off like I saw him many times before which must be a normal thing in the Marines when they share bunk beds and rooms together.

The smell that came from Trevor's sweat got me turned on as he just traveled all the way from Texas in that uniform. I now can see his tanned six-pack that is really tight and his huge biceps. Damn Trevor is so GOOD in every way. He left everything neat on the neat and was only standing in his boxers as he head into the shower. I went over to his uniform and gave it a sniff. My boner only got bigger knowing I will be wearing this soon to fool Skye and the preys at the event.

Trevor stepped over of the shower still trying to find that towel and this was it! The moment!

You see Trevor didn't know that the locking mechanism in the door didn't work completely and I took a peek through the door and I just saw his cock. It was fucking huge, 9-10inches and thick as hell. No wonder why twinks were drolling over Trevor. I watched Trevor wash his Marines body seeing his fingers going over his abs slowly making sure he covered every part. I must admit Trevor's arse wasn't that bad also but what you see on the front was every prey dream of having swallowed them up. Trevor didn't realize that the shower gel was for Skye but Trevor tasting like cacao butter is going to be so fucking delicious!

I opened the door up and offered him a towel, he thought it was weird how I knew he was looking for it and made a joke about me watching him. When he bent over to pick the towel up. I opened my mouth and swallowed his head in one clean go! He went into a state of panic as his head was in my mouth and we both fell on the floor awkwardly, I was tasting that sweet gel in his hair and he was screaming and soaking in my air from my lungs. When we fell I was laying on my back and Trevor was the same as I was touching up his chest. His muscles are so damn hard as more of him was being swallowed. I could hear him cursing and panicking as he must have worked out that I was wanting to eat Skye instead of him. Trevor was trying to hold of something to pull his head and neck out but it only failed as I started to pump his cock which stopped him temporarily. His cock felt amazing as Trevor couldn't decide what he wanted. Somehow I started to swallow his upper chest which I tasted his abs one by one with my tongue. You could not get anything more prime than this!!

I felt him accepted his fate as I swallowed his arms in and those biceps were huge!! Now I'm reaching his lower body. His cock, testicles, and legs were next. Inside Trevor was hanging above my stomach which was his final place. He knew soon that I will digest him then have his meal aka Skye which was mine now!

I didn't care as I will walk away as stud after this! I continued swallowing Trevor in as now his hairs covering his cock as in my mouth. I could taste a mixture of his sweat and cocoa which was sending my cock wild! Then came his cock which I pulled the skin back to taste and feel those veins on it. It went hard instantly as I enjoyed swallowing that slowly.

I couldn't take much longer as I was so eager to finish this meal so I swallowed in his legs and feet quickly. Inside my stomach, Trevor fell into my acid and knew this was it. My acid started to do its job and was breaking up Trevor quickly. I was laying here with a huge belly where Trevor was but it was getting smaller by the minute. I was in a complete pleasure feeling him being digested as my body changes!

I felt a jolt run through my body as new muscles were pushing out on my chest! I saw my newly hard-earned abs pushing out one by one as my body skin was starting to tan! I was squirming all over the floor feeling my body changing into a Marines build. My arms were growing bigger as the biceps got harder and harder! New memories rushed into my mind as I knew now Trevor was gone forever.

Suddenly I felt a massive pleasure hit my cock as I was moaning in bliss as my 7inch cock was growing into a good 11inch and getting thicker. My testicles grew much bigger as Trevor's thick cum was mixing in with mine!!

The process was completed. I got up looking at my new body in the mirror. I was sweating like mad as I saw now that I'm an Alpha predator now! I now got the muscles, cock, uniform to lure in every horny twink prey going starting with Skye first! I knew to eat Trevor was going to make me hungry so Skye was going to be that meal and extra muscle gain before the main event starts. I was so muscular now thanks to Trevor. I was seeing his memories and saw his dirty thoughts about enjoying Skye but that was mine now as I was smirking away in the mirror seeing my tight six-pack. I gave my new cock a pump and it felt so much more powerful and strong. The testosterone levels were sending me crazy but I managed to edge myself waiting for Skye. I went into the room and put on my Marines uniform even I not in them. It felt amazing wearing this outfit knowing I standing in Trevor's boots now. Everything he was is part of me now. I jumped on the bed and was checking out my new phone. I was teasing Skye through snapchat with him not knowing any difference. He was sending me so horny pictures back thinking I was Trevor but soon he will find out that he's joining Trevor!

Skye is next!!

I went out to the bar and had a few drinks to chill me out and I already noticed that a few guys were checking me out considering I wearing Trevor’s uniform for my own advantage. These guys were lucky as I was only wanting to have one more meal before heading out to the event later on tonight. I did sit there and two of the guys were also Predators like myself but they were in awe that I am already more Alpha than both of them. I heard these events do happen all over the globe but this one is meant to be extra special due to the number of prey that wants to meet their fate from a predator. 

I knew the time was getting near and as I walked towards the reception area, I saw this beautiful twink standing there. I knew it was him Skye has arrived so I managed to walk past him towards the bedroom knowing soon that twink will be digested and used as extra muscle gains for my already Alpha body. I waited in the room as I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and there he was, the most amazing twink I've ever seen in person. His eyes were what he said, a mixture of green and brown giving off an autumn amber shade. He was fairly short and a very smart hairstyle you would expect for someone that wanted to prove their worth to a man that they want to serve. Skye looked at me and introduced himself and he saw I was wearing Trevor’s uniform but I joked it off as said I was roleplaying with him earlier and he went out to grab some lunch. Skye easily believed this and walked in. He sure did eye me up as he wasn’t expecting me to be muscled like this. I gave him a huge hint that Trevor was gone for a while and we should have some fun, he grinned and smirked knowing this was a good warm-up session until Trevor came back. We instantly hit off by me pushing my hands up his top feeling that extra smooth lean chest which was just pure soft sin and not a single hair in sight. I knew from experience that if I was to twist a twink’s nipple it will send them off into a frenzy that sent Skye crazy hearing his cute moans as I messed around with him. I took my top off and he was already feeling my abs nothing knowing it was Trevor’s and I pushed us towards the bed as we both stripped naked and started making out on the bed. I wanted to give him a good time so I turned him around and started to enjoy his tight arse. I was slapping it and suddenly pull it apart to push my face into his butthole to give it the best possible licking he would have received. I could tell Skype was a virgin considering how tight this hole was, I spat on my finger and pushed it in to give it a feel and god didn’t Skype moan so much in pleasure from this. I continued it for a few minutes by adding more fingers in to make sure my new alpha cock would slide in. 

After giving him the best possible foreplay, I decided to insert my cock and start fucking him real hard. I had him on the bed moaning like a total bitch wanting me to dig deeper and deeper which I did just to listen to him go into pure bliss. Damn Skye would be the perfect boyfriend material as he has good tastes and a smart mind but once you are a target for a meal, you are a meal! We fucked for a good hour and I had a delayed text sent to him pretending to be Trevor which he saw and he smirked as he knew we had more time to enjoy this fucking.

We fucked more and more until I released all my loads into him which was kept in due to his tight hole. I pulled out and he was on the bed trying to catch some air but I leaned in for a kiss which what he was expected until I opened up and swallowed his head in. I could feel inside my mouth that he went into a complete panic not realizing that I finally eating him instead of Trevor. His arms and legs were moving about like mad but my new gained strength kept him pinned down. I enjoy tasting his amazing hair and his sweaty face in my mouth as my salvia built up to make him easier to swallow down my throat. 

I swallowed him up slowly, slowly enjoying his sweaty smooth upper body as I could feel his bones slowly pushing down my throat, I couldn’t believe that Skye was finally going to be my meal. He eventually gave in as he knew I had him and it was a more of a positive experience as I spent hours swallowing him in. His cock and arse were fucking delicious. I did play around with his tight butt like a teddy giving them tons of slapping and squeezing to make sure it was extra tender as it went into my mouth. His legs were really lean also, so was his massive feet which did taste pretty foul but who cares, it was a meal to satisfy my hunger for today. I laid there in bed with a huge belly AGAIN feeling Skye squirming around inside my stomach. This time around I allowed time for him to swim inside my stomach and jerk off one last time. He was prepared for this as I digested him away. 

I got up and checked myself out in the mirror. I knew this was successful and I now got two suitcases full of clothes and to phones to lure in more guys later on tonight. I had everything I needed for this trip now plus I already vored two amazing guys with opposites bodies. I now got the best of twinks and jocks as one on my body and I only going to get bigger and more prime from tonight.

I smirked once more time as I got dressed and went back to the bar looking for a quick snack before I head downtown to the event. 

I was loaded with money, a sexy Alpha body and nobody will ever find out what has happened to Trevor and Skye on this trip. Thank you both for giving me this amazing body!

Straight away I felt my muscles on my six-pack grew slightly bigger and luckily my iris color changed to Amber. I was laying here feeling so full of energy and a brand new body knowing Trevor made me an Alpha along with Skye giving me that extra muscle gain on my chest. I felt so Alpha now and I was ready for the party later. I knew I was going to be the prime Alpha from the UK, I will be heading home like a king that just made his presence known.

[blackbutler-readerinsertsandjunk]

Oh, and pretty please also some happy Alois scenario's? Like, he's with Luka and Hannah and they're all happy and healthy. No pain nor any spooder demons, please. (You're a godsend. I've literally been following blogs like yours for years and not many write for the characters that I like. I hit the jackpot with your blog. Thank you~)

Ah man… words cannot express how much I needed to write this

and how much I would love to write more things like this!!

Alois needs so much love!

And you know what, bby? I’m more than happy to keep writing all these characters! They’re ones I love deeply, with my whole entire heart!

Everyone seems to write Ciel, Sebastian, the Reapers… and, of course, I love them too, absolutely! But if I can be a source of content for the characters that people can never find content like this for, then I want to do that as much as I possibly can. It seems that the characters few people write for are often my favorites, so I’m all too happy to oblige!

Because we’re doing a pain-free spiderless Alois AU, but I still wanted to have it make sense for these guys to be in the manor – he and Luka eventually got picked up by the old Lord Trancy, but it was because Alois was tracked down as the rightful heir, and, well, the old Lord Trancy suddenly died about a week after they arrived, leaving Alois to be the new head of the household. (thank you, Hannah!)

NOW, LET THE BOY ENJOY HIS HAPPY ENDING!!!

“Missed me, missed me! Now you have to kiss me!”

Laughter rings out in the manor as (Name)’s fiancé chases after her nearly as soon as she walks into the parlor where he seems to have been waiting for her. It’s perhaps strange of him to say something like this when she hasn’t yet made a comment that she missed him while she was out… then again, they know each other so well. That she’s told him before that she’s always overjoyed to see him after they’ve been apart may also have something to do with it.

As soon as ALOIS catches her, his arms tight around her waist, he twirls around with her once before bending her backwards ― dipping her so low the tips of her hair brush the floor. It’s then that he comes in for a kiss, despite the fact that both of them giggling makes their lips very misaligned.

“You silly boy!” She hooks her arms round his neck in an attempt to hold on for dear life. (Not that he’d ever drop her. Of course not!) “You think I wouldn’t have greeted you with a kiss even if you hadn’t said that?”

It’s a little hard to believe, with his rounded face and mischievous personality, that the young earl is pushing twenty. Even though he’s been like this since she met him a few years ago, he finds new ways to woo and surprise her with every passing day. “Yes, but… you know I’m impatient! And your kisses are just so sweet, I can’t resist taking one before you even offer it.”

She shakes her head at him, pulling herself up a bit so she can nuzzle the tip of her nose against his. “Oh, of course. Who am I to keep the most handsome man in the world waiting?”

“The future Lady Trancy, that’s who!” Finally he straightens them both up; he steals another kiss as he does, of course. He glances past her toward the doors, and when he looks back, he’s raising an eyebrow, a smile playing at the edges of his mouth. “… Oh, dear. Have you lost Luka?”

(Name) scoffs with a grin and gives Alois a playful smack to the chest. “No, I would never! Hannah met us at the door and mentioned something about fixing him a snack. I’d imagine he’s halfway through a roast beef by now. Speaking of, I already bought him a caramel lollipop while the shop owner and I discussed my order for the wedding. I’ve never seen a boy with such an appetite! He eats more than I do, and he’d probably still fit into my dress.”

A snort is Alois’ answer as he heads into the other room. “He’s still growing! Now that you mention it, though, I could picture him wanting to wear your dress. While you were out, I was nearly tempted to try it on myself.” He pauses to thread his arm through hers. “Ultimately I decided I had best leave it, though. You’ll look much lovelier in it than I would.”

The two of them don’t get very far when the triplets appear out of nowhere on the stairs. “She will, yes,” Thompson quips. “In fact, I do believe the Lady’s beauty will outshine the dress itself.”

“No offense,” Timber titters, “but Lord Trancy will look so plain next to his bride!”

“Goodness, what shall we do?” Canterbury adds. “Perhaps he should wear a dress as well.”

Alois rolls his eyes. The trio speak so bluntly and outlandishly, it really is a wonder he hasn’t thrown them out entirely yet. Hannah is just too fond of them, considering them as brothers or friends, and they do their jobs fine. It would be too quiet without them, at least, so might as well keep them around for now.“You three have no idea what you’re talking about! We’ll both be stunning! Now, care to make yourselves useful and direct us to where Hannah and Luka have gone? Are they in the kitchen?”

Timber clicks his tongue. “No, no. They’ve retired to the young master’s room.”

“He took his second sandwich up there with him.”

“Oh, dear. We’re going to have ants.”

“Alright, enough!” Alois snaps, more annoyed than truly mad. “Can you three ever shut your mouths??”

(Name) sets her hand on Alois’ shoulder to help ground him. “Oh, love, did Thompson say Luka’s taken his second sandwich with him? By God, the boy works fast!”

Immediately the earl’s temper is calmed as he glances toward his fiancée. Her remark is enough to bring a smile to his face. “We should catch up with them, then.” He reaches up to grab her hand with both of his, darting up the steps. “And, Timber! Do make sure you and your brothers are prepared to do battle with the invading ants!”

The two of them laugh once more as they race through the halls like children, clutching hands, without a care in the world. When they reach the door, Alois pulls (Name)’s hand back from opening it. He puts a finger to his lips, gently leading her to one side. “Shh, stay quiet,” he whispers. “I’m going to pull a trick on Luka.”

“Hehe!” She covers her mouth with one hand. “Of course!” Big brothers like to play around with their younger brothers, after all, don’t they?

Alois bites down on his lip in an effort to keep himself from just bursting out in laughter. He can’t give himself away before he’s even done what he wants to do! As soon as he’s gotten composed, he opens the door and sweeps into the room in such a way that neither Hannah nor Luka can see his fiancée. For added effect, he paints a concerned look onto his face. “Luka!! Oh, my god, Luka, where’s (Name)?! Did you leave her all by herself in town?!”

True to the triplets’ word, the teenager is sitting on his bed, holding half a sandwich that he seems to have just taken a bite out of. With his mouth full and his eyes wide, he stares in shock at his older brother.

“Whhht?!” Luka throws the sandwich down on the bed and immediately jumps to his feet. “I-I swear, Alois! She was right be’ind me, ‘onest! We rode back in the carriage t’gether, then I got out ‘n’ came inside, ‘n’ she was ― I swear ta ‘igh ‘eaven I ‘eard ‘er ‘eels be’ind me!!”

It’s a miracle how Alois manages to hold back his laughter. “We ― well, I can’t find her!”

One can practically feel the panic rolling off of Luka. “O-oh, my God!! We ‘afta search ev’rywhere! ‘Annah! ‘Annah, g-get the triplets! They can split up, ‘n’ we’ll cover all the manor ground, ‘n’… ‘n’ I don’t understand! How could she ‘ave jus’―”

Hannah, who up until now has rather silently been perusing the bookshelf in the corner of the room, clearly thinks Alois is being too cruel. “Luka, calm down. It’s okay. Alois is just having a go at you. (Name) is right outside the door, and she’s safe.”

As if on cue, Alois pouts and opens the door for his fiancée. “(Name), come on in! Hannah ruined everything!”

“(NAME)!!!” Luka has his arms around the woman like lightning, a relieved smile taking over his face. “I’m so ‘appy y’ didn’t go missin’ fer real! What was that all ‘bout, y’ two, givin’ me a ‘eart attack?!”

(Name) giggles and returns the hug. “I’m sorry, Luka! It was Alois’ idea!”

Luka lets go of her before falling back on the bed, throwing an arm across his face. “Me own brother, stabbin’ me in the back! Oi, Jimmy, ‘ow d’you live with yerself, ‘uh?”

“Oi, yourself, don’t call me that!” All at once Alois is removing his coat in one flourish so he can pounce on the bed. He wrestles around with Luka for a moment, both of them laughing and trying to pin the other down. “You’re next, (Name)! You sold me out!”

Hannah walks over to stand by (Name), having finally picked out a book. “Our boys,” she sighs. When she glances over at the other woman, there’s a hint of a smile playing on her face.

(Name)’s smile is unabashed, warm, and full of love as her eyes focus on her soon-to-be-husband and her about-to-be-brother.

“Yes,” she agrees softly, “our boys.”

The One with the Runaway Groom, Part 1

Two ways I'll be writing chapters here

Quote form and Narrative form

Quote form - for scenes displaying comic relief purposes

Narrative form - for scenes that internalization would be required, mostly for serious, dramatic, possibly angsty scenes

Jack: You know I just don't get it. I mean, I didn't plan to quote 'ruin my marriage' unquote shortly after having one. I don't see why I'm the only one getting all the beef when it's Elsa who wanted the divorce to happen so soon.  

Jamie: I mean... Mom still doesn't believe you had no idea she was a lesbian.

Jack: No, no. See, the plan was...

Hiccup: There was a plan for this?

Jack: The plan was... After a year, Elsa would file the divorce because 'Jack isn't suitable for marriage life' like I also kept telling our parents. Then, I finally come out to them as gay because 'this experience traumatized me from liking women' instead of saying I've been that way the whole time. Now turns out, she wants a divorce cause she's the gay one.

Hiccup: So you did plan to ruin it anyway?

Jamie: Then, tell mom that.

Jack: I would, but it's Elsa's call and she doesn't really want to come out yet.

Hiccup: So, what are you going to do now?

Jack: Well, for the meantime, I'd be happy not to deal with any talks of my marriage or divorce for now.

Just then, Dimitri walks in during a hot stuffy day, wearing a tuxedo, of all things...

Hiccup: Okay, how about someone else's?

Dimitri: *goes up to the counter* Excuse me, hi. Uh, I'm looking for someone? I'm told they might be here.

Jack: Dimitri?

Dimitri: *turns around* Jack! *Goes over to grab him by the shoulders and give an exasperated shake* Thank god. Never mind, I've found him.

Jack: Why are you dressed that way? Wait, did you commute all the way over here in that?

Dimitri: I don't even have bills that aren't in rubles. I walked.

Jack: On a hot July heat wave? How are you alive?

Dimitri: Man, I don't know. I wish I was dead. I'm not having the best day.

Barista: Can I get you anything?

Jack: Iced tea. Grande size, thanks.

Jack and Dimitri move to the couch and the white haired man started introducing him to his friends...

Jack: Of course, you know Jim.

Dimitri: *elbows Jack roughly*

Jim: *raises a brow*

Jack: ...and you remember my brother, Jamie?

Dimitri: Of course, hey Jamie. Still think my grandpa is the boogeyman?

Jamie: He looks like a skeleton who sold his soul to add flesh over it. Boogeyman is being polite, in his case.

Dimitri snickers in response as he took a spot on the lounge couch while he waited for the iced tea ordered for him...

Jack: So are you actually going to tell us what happened or should I buy you a vowel too?

Dimitri: Okay... So an hour before my wedding, it literally dawned on me I was going to get married to Anastasia Romanov. And it got me thinking... Do I really want to spend the rest of my life as Dimitri Romanov?

Astrid: Huh, nice. Usually, the bride takes the groom's last name. Glad society's evolved enough to let it happen the other way.

Dimitri: *shrugs* Her last name carries more prestige. Which brings me to my next point... The luxurious life is appealing and all but I don't think it's really worth the boredom of putting up with the entitled rich highlanders in the monthly banquets. At least, that's not a life I want.

Hiccup: See, even the only ones who say that are those rich enough to afford saying it.

Astrid: Like you can talk. Your dad's a lawyer. You lived in a big house in the Suburds in your childhood.

Dimitri: Anyway, long story short, I ran off from my wedding. And I went to where I knew Jack lived, but he wasn't at his flat. So this big guy wilting a piece of wood on the hallway told me I might find him here and you're the only one I know in the city that didn't come to the wedding.

Jack: ... I wasn't invited to the wedding.

Dimitri: What? But mother told me she sent you an invitation.

Jack: And you remember exactly how your folks feel about me, right?

Dimitri: Well, uh, my mother at least seemed convincing that she was making more attempts in being open...

Day 0 - the afternoon I got the supplement

I have 9 freakIng bottles of this. The order screen was a little confusing to me, but CLEARLY pushing you to buy more than you actually wanted. I thought the "deal" would upgrade my order, not umm add to it haha I thought about sharing with my loved one, at the same time, he's not keen on pills. I'm mostly hoping the supplement will come through where I could use it the rest of the year.

Which, in turn, begs the question of "If it's helping repair and balance your gut, won't I not need to use it after a certain amount of time?" Yeah, I don't know either.

Anyway, on this day, I was having delicious, delicious, spaghetti pasta with garlic bread. I had already eaten quite a bit, do I decided to take one of the supplements to help it digest better. It says on the bottle to "take with a meal" with no particular preference of before, during, or after. On one of the little booklets it comes with (daily recipes and checklist kind of thing), it recommended to take it BEFORE. Okay, this makes sense to me - let the cultures be free before I start stuffing my gut.

After a while, I took one again before my next scrumptious spaghetti and garlic bread meal. I have usually about a cup's worth of spaghetti pasta and one or two roughly 1 +1/2 in. thick, palm-sized garlic bread.

While I don't remember much about that day, but I do remember being a little gassy. Mini burps here and then, but definitely more often than I usually do. I've somewhere (I can't remember if it was Nucific or another article about gut bacteria) that when bacteria in your gut dies, it leaves off gases. Makes sense to me, I don't have any guesses, so I don't question it that much.

I was also thirstier, boy did I need to quench that thirst. My only guess is that the bacteria is sapping my fluids as well, and I already don't drink enough water so, not too much harm there, I don't think.

Finally, yes, quenched appetite. Definitely wasn't craving anything too bad. Now, IS THIS PLACEBO? I don't know, and frankly, I don't have much problem with placeboes. If it makes me feel better without actually messing with my body, then I'm fine with it. Is it worth the price? Weeeellllllll..... (currently, no, lol)

I definitely went the rest of the night without snacking so, yay!

Actual Day 1 went about the same way. Mini burps, thirst, noticably less cravings. I definitely noticed it because we had oven baked pizza and I had way less than I normally would have. Even having a couple slices I would have eaten normally was starting to get too much (but I don't like wasting food and I love pizza, so I ate it anyway) There was one particular problem where I did have to use a little willpower to keep from eating a little cake that was made earlier. I suppose hunger suppression =/= craving suppression. Other than that, not much to report.

Today, at Day 2, I ate some pasta topped with some parmesean cheese, sauteed asparagus and mushrooms with beef, homestyle lightly buttered popcorn (my choice snack, 90 calories for the whole popped bag is unbelievable), and I caved for the tasty cake I mentioned earlier. Took a supplement before the first meal and before the cake of shame. Currently, very thirsty, but I also want something sweet, but small. My other choice snack is dark chocolate; this one a 72% cacao from Ghiradelli (I eat about a square or two, 75 cals and 130 cals respectively).

I'll elaborate on a little more tomorrow, since I'm getting a little tired (I threw my sleep schedule super off lately). This only Week 1 of taking BIOx4.

Take care, stay happy, stay healthy 🌸

Chapter 8

MCs POV

Phil had been in prison for a couple months now, Jake and I are getting on better than ever. He's been so busy in the shop that he has talked about getting a bigger shop. I love how excited he gets when he's working out a plan. Hannah and Lilly are still trying to get back in my life; they just won't take no for an answer.

Jake will be back from work soon. I've been making him a special dinner, he's been so busy I wanted to surprise him. I was even able to update the website and add more things to it. I just need to set the table and get the champagne out of the fridge I thought we could celebrate tonight.

All I need to do now is go change and freshen up before Jake comes back, I think my strapless red dress for tonight Jake loves it when I have it on. It always drives him crazy. I love it when he gets all tongue tied now that I've changed. I just need to light the candles and serve dinner.

MC had everything ready just as she made the final touches Jake had arrived back from work. As he walked in he was met by candles flickering soft music playing in the background. He put his keys down and went into the kitchen where he could smell his favorite dinner cooking.

Jake: wow what's all this it smells amazing

MC: I just wanted to surprise you, you have been working so hard lately

Jake: thank you MC, I love it and I love you

MC: I love you to Jake

They both shared a kiss and sat down to eat. MC had made one of Jake's favorite Chinese dishes, kung pao chicken with a side serving of dumplings, egg fried rice and beef fried rice.

Jake: everything looks so good, this must of taken ages

MC: it was worth it to see the smile on your face

Jake: oh and don't think I haven't notice that red dress, dessert will definitely be out of this world

MC couldn't help but smile. She kissed Jake on the lips softly and both sat down to eat, they both enjoyed each other's company as they talked and laughed. After dinner they cleared away the plates and put what was left over in the fridge.

The next morning Jake woke up early as he had an important meeting to get to, he didn't want to wake MC so he kissed her softly goodbye and left her a note. A Little while later when MC woke she found the note she couldn't help but smile. She got out of bed and went to take a shower after she had finished. She got changed, put a little makeup on and went to grab some coffee.

While she was drinking her coffee her phone buzzed, picking it up Lilly MC couldn't help but roll her eyes in annoyance.

Lilly: Hi MC, hope your okay just wanted to ask if you would meet up with me and Hannah later x

MC: omg Lilly!!! How many times do I have to say this? I don't want to see you or Hannah leave me alone.

Lilly: please MC it's really important to us

MC: Don't you understand the word NO!! Go away and leave me alone

The texts went on for a few more minutes then stopped, MC had had enough of constantly being bothered by them there was only one thing to do and that was block them. So MC did just that blocking both numbers MC put her phone back down then it rang this time it was Jake.

Jake: Hey MC, what are you doing right now?

MC: well I've just blocked Lilly and Hannah they are getting to annoying no

Jake: I'm sorry baby, I've got a surprise for you come meet me outside the aurora

MC: Why the bar?

Jake: I'll explain everything once you get here

MC put the phone down and went to get herself ready, grabbing her jacket and keys she left the apartment and made her way to the bar. When MC arrived at the bar she saw Jake talking with a woman and he had a big smile on his face. They shook hands and the woman walked away holding a briefcase Jake saw MC approaching and ran up to her putting his arms around her spinning her around.

MC: Hello to you, what's got you all excited

Jake: well you know that surprise I told you about well this is it

MC: You bought the aurora but why?

Jake: It's not going to be staying at a bar you remember when I said we should look for a bigger shop? Well this is it

MC: Wow!! This is amazing Jake

Jake: I'm glad that you say that because I will need your help with the design

MC: Anything for a handsome man

Jake took MC inside and explained to her what he had in mind, MC was loving every minute of it. She thought that going into the bar would bring back painful memories but all she could feel was pure happiness. Over the next 6 months the bar started to get ripped out, everything inside was to be pulled out and gotten rid off. MC was going through the office throwing everything into boxes she found Phil's secret collection of Playboy's. She just rolled her eyes in disgust and threw them into one of the boxes.

As MC was dumping some of the boxes into the skip Hannah and Lilly came over wanting to talk to MC. MC tried to get back inside before they got closer but it was too late.

Hannah: MC! Wait please we just want to talk

MC: I have nothing to say to either of you leave me alone

Lilly: MC please don't be so rude hear Hannah out

MC: Me? You don't want me to be rude!!! How dare you, your whore of a sister opens her legs for any guy walking past her and you want me to not be rude go fuck yourselfs

Lilly: we just wanted to talk that's all we want you to be in the baby's life

Hannah: I was thinking that you could maybe look after Izzy for a few hours while I go shopping

MC didn't say anything, she walked closer to Hannah and slapped her as hard as she could, knocking Hannah to the floor.

MC: I am going to say this once and only once leave me the hell alone because of you don't you will regret it for the rest of your lives

MC turned round and Jake was standing near the door, she walked towards him and he put her around her waist and walked her inside.
