What do you think about Cybill shepherd saying she taught Elvis how to eat pussy? Lol
Tumblr media
NSFW: 18+ content
lord that woman gives me a headache I’m sorry- until I read hers I have truly never seen an autobiography in which the author seemed intent on making the reader dislike them 😭
at least she is self aware because she did indeed come off as self-absorbed and her book was insufferable to read ⬇️
Tumblr media
(excerpt from “Cybill Disobedience” by Cybill Shepherd)
and her thinking that Elvis was stupid says much more about her than it does him 👀
she even said that in 1972 she considered Elvis to be “passé” (meaning out of date/ no longer “in”)… like are we talking about the same Elvis or ????
not to mention her saying that Elvis had “frat boy humor”, and was a “morbid cheese ball” because he liked to read spiritual books
And one situation that really showed what kind of person she was when, after he bought her a ring and set it on her nightstand, she took one look at it, deemed it to be "too hideous," left the ring in its’ box, and then left Elvis who was passed out from exhaustion after an performance, to fly back to her boyfriend...
Her book has the exact same tone as Albert Goldman's in that she clearly despised Elvis and wanted to make him look as bad as possible, such as implying that he was homophobic and made racial remarks such as saying that ‘white boys don’t eat p*ssy’, but all she accomplished was to make herself look bad
I’m sorry to ramble but I just cannot get over how horribly she talked about Elvis 😩
As for your question I feel like there are only two possibilities as to why she would say such a thing:
1. Elvis was humoring her which led Cybill to believe she really was the first woman he went down on
2. She’s straight up lying
Tumblr media
(excerpt from “Cybill Disobedience” by Cybill Shepherd)
and my vote is with the latter… 20 year old Elvis never doing it before is understandable, however a nearly 40 year old Elvis never doing it before is in the realm of impossible, especially knowing that he liked to “give” rather than “receive”
Tumblr media
(excerpt from “Don’t ask forever” by Joyce Bova)
and the excuse of “white boys” not doing it seems implausible as Elvis has never been quoted as saying anything even remotely similar
Based on a story told by Dewey Phillips to a reporter in 1967, I believe the first woman that Elvis actually went “down on” was Natalie Wood ⬇️
There is of course no way of knowing the validity of this story but it being told in 1967 certainly helps in my opinion
I'm sure Dewey still had contact with Elvis, therefore I don't believe he would tell a false story to such a highly-regarded reporter, especially one who was also interviewing people like Priscilla and Vester Presley for this specific article, knowing Elvis would most likely see it
In corroboration with Dewey’s story, we do know for sure that Natalie and Elvis were intimate as their physical relationship has been confirmed by several friends ⬇️
Tumblr media
(excerpt from “Down at the end of the lonely street” by Pat Broeske and Peter Brown)
Tumblr media
(story told by Lamar Fike in “Elvis and the Memphis Mafia” by Alanna Nash)
Tumblr media
(excerpt from “Elvis: My best man” by George Klein)
A picture really is worth a thousand words… I’d be looking at him like that too girl 😩
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not to mention Alan Fortas, the Memphis mafia member who was entrusted with filming girls for Elvis, said this about how Elvis would “relieve” himself in the mid to late 60s🤭 ⬇️
“Sometimes, while either watching the girls in his bedroom or perusing the tapes I had made for him, he would get a most defiant erection, which he would relieve either by masturbation, or, if the girls were actually there, by going down on one his lucky guests or by dry humping one through his slacks or pajama bottoms”
(excerpt from “Elvis: From Memphis to Hollywood” by Alan Fortas)
and while Priscilla’s descriptions of their “love-making” in the 60s is extremely vague like “he fulfilled my every desire” and whatnot, I would assume that oral sex was the go-to as they did not have penetrative intercourse
so I definitely believe Elvis was “going down” long before Cybill came into the picture in 1972 🤧
and quite frankly, I’m glad that she flew back to her boyfriend because she honestly didn’t deserve Elvis or his generosity… I’m still not over her calling him a “morbid cheese ball”, take several seats Cybill

things i imagine 2023 bf bill does
Tumblr media
cw: oral (f! and m!recieving), fingering, etc
• if you've been together since the 2000s, he's so so so happy that you never judged him for how he looked and that even though his style changed you still stuck with him. he knows that's the bare minimum but he's experienced first hand how some people treat him because of how he looks and he loves that you're not like that
• obviously, yall still go shopping together like in the 2000s and it's tons of fun. he loves it when you two try on studded jackets together and when you pick out cute platform boots for him
• you two once had the greatest birthday sex in the history of birthday sex because you got him the "greatest platforms in the world!!". His words.
• and I mean it ^^, it went on for like 2 hours and by the time you guys were done you were ready to pass out. but he also had some other gifts to open 🤩
• his aftercare was literally amazing in the 2000s, but it's gotten even better with time. if it was super intense sex, he will not let go of you. even if you were subbing, with intense sex both doms and subs need aftercare.
• MATCHING HALLOWEEN COSTUMES 🗣🗣🗣 also you better hype of bill for whatever costume he does. like that year he did Ariel. If you didn't hype him up 😒 what are you even doing?
• going out and buying costumes with him for concerts
• he said in a tiktok live once that he does out to restaurants for every meal. breakfast, lunch and dinner. so you two do that basically everyday and you guys always order too much food and end up having left overs
• ‼️BAKING WITH HIM‼️
• you guys know how he loves his cheesecakes so you two make him all the time. and he teaches you how to bake some of his family recipes. but it always ends up with you guys a total mess because you were fooling around.
• also the mf is still a massive tease 💀 like bruh back off for two goddamn seconds
• like while you're kneeding dough he'd come up behind you and press his crotch into your ass and act like he was just grabbing a measuring cup. and the mf would just be smirking his ass off if your face got red
• tiktok lives all the time and you two bake together on those two. and sometimes tom comes in and helps you guys.
• cockwarming on tiktok lives 😍😍😍 (someone has gotta write that because oh em geeeeee I'm squirming and squeezing my thighs just thinking about it)
• he bites in bed. like when he's fingering you he'll bite your boob or literally any squishy part of you. and will get horny the next day if he sees you have bite marks on your body.
• he loves going to the beach with you. and you guys go with Tom and Heidi all the time too.
• now im very pale you guys. i hate tanning, I never want to be tan. It's just not for me, so if you're like that too bill will literally lather you in sonnencreme and bring an umbrella for you to stay under
• now if you're not like me and you like to tan then bill will buy you tanning oil and that mirror thing (I hope yall know what I'm talking about bc idk what its called)
• he gives you head scratches all the time because he always has long nails and it feels so good
• ON THAT NOTE, bill rarely fingers you because of his nails, but on the days he doesn't have any acrylic nails, he'll finger you like no tomorrow. but other than that he sticks to eating you out
• bakes you a cake all by himself for your birthday 🎂 he makes sure to get whatever flavor you like the best. strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, whatever you want he'll do it. he decorates it himself and is very proud
• talks about you all the time in interviews and is smiling his ass off every time
• doing skincare together is a must!! you two have so much skin care stuff it's insane. serums, face masks (peel off, paper, clay, etc), lotions, moisturizers, oils, lip masks. literally everything.
• HE LOVES DOING YOUR MAKEUP and he gets so happy when you let him do it
• date nights with him are so much fun because you get to get all dressed up in a sexy outfit and go out to a fancy restaurant. plus the night usually ends in sex
• he loves it when you play with his rings on his fingers
• living room dance parties and karaoke happens all the time and you always end up on the floor laughing your asses off
• he buys Polaroid cameras and takes pictures of you guys all the time. at the mall shopping, on the beach, making sandcastles, you eating, baking together, him dicking you down with his cum all over your chest (who said that⁉️)
• showering together and doing hair masks
• loves pre and post concert head from you 😉
• binge watching TV shows together is something you two do a bunch. he gets all pouty if he found out you watched an episode without him.
• you guys manicures and pedicures all the time and you're always giggling and laughing with eachother the entire time

——————————————————————————
This is no way representative of the way Stray Kids act. They’re nothing but references of character, and in no shape or form is this how they act. And I am in no way romanticizing or glamorizing any toxic behavior exhibited, they’re just stories that is meant to be read. Readers discretion is advised.
——————————————————————————
“You really think you were slick, huh?”
Jisung harshly spoke as he moved up close to you, making you back away until you bumped into someone behind you, Hyunjin, who matched up the facial expression as Jisung, which was definitely not a smile he was known for.
Both maintained a not-so-sweet expression and you weren’t too sure why is that. The three of you were having a wonderful time at a party, so why did Jisung and Hyunjin just picked you up and dragged you up to a room with anger fueling in their faces?
“What the hell did i do?” You attempted to fight back as you looked at the two furious men, making them look at each other and mocking laugh at your own idiocy that you’re not even aware of showcasing. Jisung grabbed your jaw harshly, making you gasp, “so you’re unaware of how much of a slut you are?“ Jisung tsked at your cluelessness, which made Hyunjin snicker darkly and you furrowing your eyebrows in confusion.
”What are you talking abou—what’s with you two?”
”So you really just going to act like you didn’t just throw yourself onto Minho like that?” Hyunjin smiled, but it was a menacing smile, you knew that just based on his tone hitting your ears from behind you, as he held onto your arms, restricting you from any movements, while Jisung mirrored his exact facial expression, getting it close to you, leaving you to gulp at the strong grip and gaze from both sides.
You and the two men have a rather.. interesting relationship. The three of you were best friends for a couple of years now and as time passes by, it gets more stronger and intense, now you three get to see more of each other no one else saw, literally. You don’t remember how it started, but you remembered it started between you and Jisung. The two of you were one day talking in his bed, and one thing let to another and suddenly clothes were shed off of your bodies and the room was filled with the scent of sex.
You two weren’t by any means attracted to each other romantically, but you certainly do not mind the activities you both partake in. You both couldn’t lie, you guys are very attractive, regardless of relatioship status. And Hyunjin seems to agree, as he always compliments both of you.
Suddenly, he has slowly started to get involve with both of your shenanigans. It started when he practically walked in on you two, naked and inside of each other. He would lie that he didn’t find that hot, so he straightforwardly asked if he can join, to which you both didn’t say no, and the rest was history.
Which leads us to you being put in between both of your best friends, absolutely horrified, yet aroused over the way you’re put into a vulnerable position. However, you stood your ground and gave a stern look, despite only looking at Jisung, the expression was directed to both men. ”So what if I did? Neither of you are my boyfriend, so be—“ your words were cut by a sudden grip on your neck from behind, makinh you gasp at the sudden action. Hyunjin from behind smirked and got closer to your ears, whipsering “know your place, whore.”
”Just because we’re not your boyfriends, doesn’t mean you can go around and be a slut,” Jisung proceeded, getting his face even closer.
You felt trapped, like as if you cannot move.
Jisung backed away, “on your knees,” he commanded you, and pointed downwards, his finger and voice automatically tranced you to go down, your bare knees touching the cold ground of your bedroom. You looked down in fear, shame and arousal, making hyunjin roughly pull your hair up, your head pulled back harshly, making you moan at the sudden movement.
“I’ll take it from there,” Jisung nodded at Hyunjin, pulling taking your hair instead of his hand. Hyunjin backed away and sat on the chair, observing you two. You were looking up, lips quivering, while Jisung was looking down at you with a villainous smile, unbuckling his belt while his hand is still in your hair.
”Open wide, princess,” Jisung said, knowing the petname made you weak. Your lips were shaking but your mouth were ultimately open wide. After Jisung successfully took off his pants and boxers, revealing his erected length, which slapped you upon its release, he held your jaw, “now, suck like the whore you are.”
You nodded, as you pushed your own head down his length, attempting to push aside your gag reflex as it hit the back of your throat. Jisung took full control of the pace and the way your head go, as he thrusts upon your throat, throwing his head back in pleasure.
While your throat was used for Jisung’s pleasuing needs, behind you can sense Hyunjin’s intense eyes were on you, however he wasn’t just silently sitting and admiring the scenery in front of him. His breathing were shaky and you can hear rubbing noises, thats when you know he was indeed touching himself.
Your eyes were getting teary as Jisung’s pull on your hair were getting rougher, however he senses his release getting close as his cock twitches into your mouth, and his moans and grunts were breaking. He twists his head down towards you, and says ”you’re going to swallow up all of it, you got that, slut?”
If you could only nod, but too bad your head was occupied by Jisung’s hand. Meanwhile, Hyunjin’s hand movements were getting faster at the sight in front of him, he sees your mascara running down your face, and he went absolutely wild with it, rolling his head back as he felt himself also nearing his release.
Jisung’s moaned as he spills his all down your throat, on cue with Hyunjin’s orgasm as well. You felt warm liquid going down your throat, and remembered the promise you gave to Jisung. Once he released himself out of your mouth, your mouth closed almost instantly, hesitant to swallow the content in the back of your throat. The way he was looking at you was a silent command to you to swallow.
You looked up at him, eye make up smeared, black tears running down your cheeks, and glossy, puppy eyes were on his face as you swallowed everything with a slight grimace. After the action, you sighed and stuck out your tongue out for him.
The smirk grew on his face, as he held your jaw, ”look at that, Hyunjin,” he pushed your head to Hyunjin’s direction, your eyes met with Hyunjin‘s face, giving him a clear view of your throat. Despite his disheveled hair was covering his 70% of his face, you can still distinguish the dark, lust filled in his eyes.
“The whore got all it down,” Jisung continued making Hyunjin snicker while he started to unbutton his shirt. Your tongue were put back in your mouth, and closing it with a pout. Jisung let go of your chin and pushed you onto Hyunjin, your face landing onto his feet.
“You take care of her, I’m gonna go get cleaned up and I’ll be back with extra stuff,” and there after he announced, he was out of the room, and now you were on the ground, not daring to look up at the man seated in front of you.
“Look at me,”
His voice was dark and you felt yourself shaking at the rumble of his voice. You slowly looked up at him, and sat up for him to have a clearer look. He just examined your pitiful state, and how he enjoyed seeing you like this. If he could he could take a picture of you right now, he would, but he would save it for another time.
He looked down at you, blank stared, “take off your clothes.”
The only ability you were capable of doing was follow his and Jisung’s order, so you stood up and began undressing yourself. Once you were bare in front of him, you felt embarrassed as he was just looking at you without any expression, but his eyes were saying otherwise.
He began rubbing his lap, “come here,” his voice was hushed. He may be very dominant and rough, but his actions and commands were less sporadic than Jisung’s so you couldn’t help but feel even weaker with Hyunjin.
Once you were sat in his lap, he hissed at the sensation of your wet core hitting his skin. “You enjoy getting humiliated like that don’t you?” He snickered, as he began holding you closer to him and his fingers drumming your knees. All you could was look down in shame, which made Hyunjin pull your face back to him, “keep your eyes on me, got it?”
You nodded back at him, biting your bottom lips, while he smirks at you, “good,” and there he pulled you in a kiss. It was very heated and wanton in nature, with his tongue being dragged against yours. Without you realizing, his fingers were placed in between your thighs, slowly beginning to touch your wet slit. Once his fingers landed on it, you moaned into this mouth with the slight drag of his fingers into your clit.
His fingers started to create circular movements right along your clit before he ultimately started to shove his two fingers into your wet hole, making you moan even louder and throwing your head back. Instead of throwing your head back at him like he and Jisung were doing earlier, Hyunjin began diving in into your neck started to mark up the empty skin, while his fingers were still doing all the work.
His fingers hitting the spots whilst his thumb was playing around the bud on top. His mouth moved from your neck down to your chest, your mewls were getting louder as you felt yourself getting closer.
”I’m close..”
You moaned out, but Hyunjin stopped his movement and removed his fingers out of slit, making you whine over the lack of penetration and clenching onto nothing.
“You thought I was going to be easy on you?” Hyunjin questioned, venomous in his tone, which made you pout in fear. As if on cue, Jisung walked in with a rope in one hand and a vibrator in his other, making you look horrified into whats to come.
“Is she ready?” Jisung questioned Hyunjin.
He looked at you, with an evil grin, and then back at Jisung.
”Yes, she is.” It’s going to be a long night for you….

Do you consider the memphis mafia trustworthy sources on Elvis? Idk if I always believe some of the stuff they’ve said about elvis
thank you so much for this ask!! I have way too much to say about this topic, therefore I apologize in advance for how long this is 🤧
firstly I think it’s important to clarify who the Memphis Mafia actually consisted of: based on what they themselves have said, it was Red West, Sonny West, Alan Fortas, Marty Lacker, Lamar Fike, and Billy Smith
I was confused why people like Jerry Schilling, Charlie Hodge, Joe Esposito, Larry Geller, George Klein, etc. etc. weren’t technically considered Memphis Mafia until I learned that Elvis’ entourage were categorized into two groups, the Memphis Mafia, and the others
I also really recommend for every fan to read Alanna Nash’s “Elvis and the Memphis Mafia” which is just an oral history from Billy Smith, Marty Lacker, and Lamar Fike
and then to watch the documentary, it is 5 hours but it’s so worth it, I’ve literally rewatched it at least 8 times at this point because it’s my favorite Elvis documentary 😩!!
youtube
I also want to say if you are going to read from one of them, you should try to read from all of them because they all have their own unique experience with Elvis and therefore all have their own viewpoints/opinions and biases *which is why it’s important to cross reference between them
For example in the Alanna Nash book there are several instances where Lamar Fike, Marty Lacker and Billy Smith all have a different opinion on something and you basically have to decide for yourself which one you agree with
I’m just going to be breaking down each Memphis Mafia member, as I’ve been fortunate enough to read each of their books, and say if I think they are trustworthy sources:
Lamar Fike: Personally, I think he is one of Memphis Mafia members that you really have to be cautious about. If y’all didn’t know he was Albert Goldman’s main source for that horrible book, “Elvis”. In Alanna Nash’s book, Lamar Fike spends a good majority of the time disagreeing with everything Goldman wrote, and said that Goldman would twist his words and retell things to fit his own agenda. He said “even though I was one of his main sources, and shared in the royalties, I couldn’t control Albert”. He admitted he did the book for money which is why I lost respect for Lamar because he knew that Albert was saying things that weren’t true and that the book’s main purpose was to make Elvis look bad. I would also be cautious of Lamar because he tends to twist reality just a little bit and over exaggerate things. For example whenever he tells the story of Elvis and Priscilla meeting, he always says that it was he who introduced them “Elvis this is Priscilla, Priscilla this Elvis”. But no one else who was in the room has told it that way, Lamar just inserted himself into the scene (he also once said she was 13 when we obviously know she was 14). So yeah I would really recommend to cross reference everything Lamar says before believing it. He just tells things in a really blunt (and lowkey funny💀) way, which makes it interesting insight, but from what I have also seen he is more than willing to exaggerate things just to be able to tell a “better” story
Marty Lacker: I really really enjoy reading his viewpoint and his book is one of my favorites out of the bunch however I think he too often lets his own biases affect his story telling. This man really really really hated Priscilla 😭 So much so that every time he talked about her it was in a negative light. I’m not saying Priscilla is perfect, she has done many things I don’t agree with, however, none of these men knew what it was like to be in her shoes so I’m just wary of them placing so much blame on her when she was so young, and I find that Marty can be a little unsympathetic in that regard (but again I’m not saying that Priscilla hasn’t done things that deserve criticism). Also Marty Lacker wasn’t around in the late late 70s so I would just be cautious of anything he says about that time because he simply wasn’t there to know. But in general, beside his obvious biases, I would say he is a trustworthy source
Alan Fortas: He was the first Memphis Mafia member to pass away in 1992, we sadly didn’t get to hear too much from him, but I’m very grateful to have his book. Since he wasn’t around much in the late 60s and not at all in the 70s, his best stories come from the 50s and early-mid 60s. He provides a really unique insight especially when it comes to Priscilla and Elvis because he was more or less her chauffeur when she first came to the United States. He also knew Frances Forbes, Gloria Mowell, Heidi Heissen and Arlene Cogan and spends a decent chunk of his book talking about them. I can’t say it is in a way that looks good for Elvis because Alan really disagreed with those relationships, even though he said he knew nothing s*xual was going on, he genuinely couldn’t fathom why Elvis, who could have any woman he wanted, wanted to spend time with teenage girls, including Priscilla. But nothing in his book I found to be untrue and everything he says corresponds with what other has said, plus he has some really great stories about the movie-making times and his beloved chimpanzee, Scatter (I know it was Elvis’ technically but Alan was his real mom lmao) but I overall trust him as well
Red and Sonny West: I’m about to get controversial; I think these are two men, that as Elvis fans, we have been a little too critical of. It’s not fair to completely write off their experiences with Elvis just because of the book they did, which in retrospect, doesn’t say anything different from what the other Memphis Mafia men have said, it was just horribly timed. But I do want to clarify that I don’t support their decision on writing “Elvis: What happened” in 1977 and at the end of the day I will always support Elvis over anybody else. As for their credibility, Red West has one of the most important perspectives imo because he was literally the first Memphis Mafia member. He was with Elvis in highschool, in Germany, during the movies, during the comeback special, during Vegas, during the American tours, he only wasn’t there for the very last year of Elvis’ life. Unlike some of the other men here, he never stopped being with Elvis, except for of course the end. I have read the book he did in 1977 and I have watched tons of his interviews and I’ve personally never come across a story that wasn’t told/referenced by another Memphis Mafia member. I do think he is trustworthy in that sense but I think he has gotten very defensive in the past and is willing to throw Elvis under the bus in order to protect his image. I feel like it is the same thing with Sonny West. These men felt betrayed by Elvis, they got fired, and they both definitely harbored vengeful feelings for a while so you have to take that into account when listening to their stories. For example when they talked about how Elvis hired h00kers in the 1977 book they didn’t mention that they were also cheating on their wives and actually slept with the hired girls while Elvis only wanted to watch the girls simulate lesbian s*x. In that book especially, they often conveniently left out that they indulged in the same kind of behavior Elvis did. But with age, I think they both mellowed out and ultimately realized that they betrayed Elvis also, and they have both said they have regretted the book. The documentary I linked above really helped me understand their perspective more, and while things ended badly between Elvis and them, I do think both parties still cared about each other. So while both of their perspectives are very important (and I think Red was one of Elvis’ truest friends), I wouldn’t fully trust anything they have said until I checked another source to confirm
Billy Smith: He is sadly the only Memphis mafia member still with us and he still makes videos answering questions on the YouTube channels Elvis fans matter and Memphis Mafia kid. I really do enjoy reading Billy’s perspective and he is one of the few people who were with Elvis from the very beginning (childhood) to the very end. But Billy rarely actually went on tour with Elvis and he also wasn’t around for most of the movie time, so his best stories are about his times with Elvis at Graceland imo. They had such a special relationship and I think Billy was the closest thing Elvis had to a brother (y’all have to read about the oath he and Elvis took, it almost made me cry😭). However this man, like anyone, is not without his biases. When reading the Alanna Nash book you can see that Billy’s main purpose is to protect Elvis and the Smith family so much so that I think he denies some things solely because he believes it will make his family look bad. For example when in the book they talked about how Gladys may have had some Jewish blood in her, Billy Smith who is Gladys’ nephew, just shot that down right away. I didn’t think much of it until Billy Smith later on admitted in the book he was slightly prejudiced against black people and jewish people because of how he was raised. But that book was also in the 90s and I haven’t seen him speak in the way since so hopefully he has changed. This man really hated Priscilla, and especially hated Ginger, so take into account these biases as well. For example, in the Nash book, he was dead set on saying that Ginger called the national enquirer after Elvis passed away. Many fans believe this also but there is just no proof to support it. If you are someone who hates Ginger because you believe she called the enquirer (I did too at one point), I really recommend reading this https://elvisdecoded.com/2021/03/13/the-ginger-hit-job/
Another reason to be slightly cautious of Billy Smith is that his opinions have changed so much since the Alanna Nash book 😭 Like how I said he hated Priscilla and Ginger, that seems to be no longer the case, at least on his YouTube channel. I was so surprised when he praised them both in the YouTube video “Elvis’ relationship secret”. He even said Ginger was good for Elvis and that she loved him- I was shook because he hated her in the 90s!!! But anyways-I would say he is trustworthy and he was no doubt one of the dearest people to Elvis’ heart but it’s always good to take into account biases, and cross reference everything
To wrap this up- They have all told the good, the bad and the ugly, and as fans of Elvis it can be hard to accept the “bad and ugly”(like was he sometimes completely unreasonable, demanding, and temperamental? yes! but do we still love him? yes!) These guys just have such a unique perspective and we are truly lucky that they have opened up their lives with Elvis to us, even if it is stories that we necessarily don’t want to accept. But there is not a single doubt in my mind that all these men loved Elvis, despite what some of them have done, and that Elvis loved all these men. The documentary I linked above has made me cry every time I have watched it because they all cried in it and something about grown men crying just hits me different okay 😭
also if anybody read all this kudos to you, I’m sorry for typing so much lmao 😩💗
