The Guardianship of Gu Zi - The Crime -Part 1 - The Dead Body in Apt 2D

The thing is that Qi Rong should always be forgiven for the things he does when bored. Boredom itself is the crime. Qi Rong should have been invested in another ipad like the one he gave Gu Zi because the kid had mentioned it. He Xuan warned him that he was going to spoil the kid. Similar to the same argument Xie Lian used for Qi Rong being himself. That his parents spoiled Qi Rong rotten. 

Qi Rong’s usual crimes of boredom involve going for walks and wandering into whatever private event he came across. Weddings, birthday parties, red hat club meetings, and finding the answer of What Would This Do IF I Set it on Fire. The answer was to be on fire and sometimes to release toxic fumes.

Speaking of toxic fumes, Qi Rong is reminded of how the apartment building has reeked for weeks. There are smells you get used to when living in a 5 story walk up, but this is worse than the day apartment 4c decided to slow-broiled salmon all day, thinking that would have made the spoiled fish edible or when the skunks nested in the broken central heating system.

Everyone on the second floor had pinned the smell on Qi Rong, because Qi Rong is blamed for everything, always. No innocent until proven guilty and no one to come to his defense, except Gu Zi.

The landlord has even put notice for Qi Rong to get rid of the smell or be evicted. To that Qi Rong and Gu Zi snapped on rubber gloves and gave the whole space an industrial strength wipe down as he worked in enough clearing services that he knew how to make a place shine. This was much to Gu Zi’s pleasure to have the space so clean, so Qi Rong didn’t mind the exhausting process.

The apartment did shine, but the smell was there lingering under the cleaner’s scent, so the other residents of floor 2 continued to glare at him.

“Video games will rot your brain. You should go to the park or something, and I better go with you in case of stranger danger or whatever.” Qi Rong said once he realized he was counting the paint speckles on the wall.

“I just need to pass this level.” Guzi said, utterly consumed by the screen. 

Qi Rong sighs. Then he hears the noise from the hallway so he opens the door to yell at whoever is out there to shut the hell up, because there is nothing better to do.

Qi Rong wasn’t even gonna hesitate when he saw it was cops closing off the hallway, but Qi Rong knew a crime scene when he saw one, and that could be fun.

Qi Rong rushed back into his apartment to grab latex gloves and white cardigan he stole from Xie Lian and put his hair up into a quick, tight bun.

Honestly at no point did Qi Rong think at all he shouldn’t wander into an active crime scene.

He didn’t think about it when ducked under the police tape, or went into the neighboring apartment. 

Qi Rong hated the guy, but not an active hatred as the man didn’t deserve the space in Qi Rong’s mind to be hated, so Qi Rong felt nothing at seeing the dead body on the floor. 

It was the smell that made him want to throw up. The smell mixed Qi Rong with a feeling of vindication as the stench wasn’t him, and offense as everyone thought he stunk like a corpse. 

Qi Rong crouched pretending to inspect the area of the trash covered floor and heard the detectives talking.

“Looks like a drunken accident if I ever saw one. Knocked his own brains out on this table after tripping on this cord.”

“Looks like some used to live here with him, but no one has been around in a while.”

“Ran his record and says he had a minor child living with him. Could be a runaway unless we are suspecting foul play.”

Qi Rong wasn’t really listening until Qi Rong had caught the last sentence from the detective “... Call CFS, see if there is any case...”.

Everything in the apartment was going out of focus and blurring all together at the detective's words. The state of things was garbage spilling over, seemingly every dish being dirty, take away boxes with rotted left over bits, and broken furniture, and Qi Rong was tripping over it, but was caught by someone.

“Hey, weren't you fired from the coroner's office?” 

“Uh, yeah. I’m not supposed to be here. Good job officer.” Qi Rong patted the cop on back as he made his way back into his apartment

As Qi Rong slumps against the door until he hits the floor, this is when Qi Rong’s brain starts thinking. 

Qi Rong thinks, ‘Oh shit. Oh shit. Ohshit!’.  Qi rong was coming to dawning realization of something he already knew

Qi Rong remembers why he hates the neighbor. The neighbor that would beat his kid. That kid had been Gu Zi. That corpse is still legally Gu Zi’s father. Gu Zi’s father was dead. Gu Zi's father was dead and the cop was going to call CFS and Gu Zi would be taken into the system. Gu Zi would be taken away from him and placed into home Qi Rong would know nothing about. 

Qi Rong wasn’t going to let that happen.

Qi Rong had more thinking to do now. Qi Rong knew how a crime scene was worked. The patrol officer would ask the neighbors questions. Practically being summoned by the thought, Qi Rong felt the cop knock on his door. Qi Rong could hear the conversation on the other side of the door.

“Seems like no one is home.”

“I just saw him walk in.” Another knock. 

Thinking began to turn into panic. The cop had seen Qi Rong come into his apartment. They could break the door down and take Gu Zu from him right now.

Even if the cops didn’t break in now, the officers would be back. Qi Rong knew the questions everyone would be asked, and the answers that would be given.

Everyone knew that GuZi was the dead man's legal child, and that the boy lived with Qi Rong, and that Qi Rong had threatened the life of the neighbor. A neighbor that no one cared for, but was still less hated than Qi Rong.

Qi Rong who was assigned to carry the blame for everything by a hand in the heavens. 

There would be no investigation. There would be no trial. Qi Rong would be held accountable for that man’s stupid death and Gu Zi would be left alone.

Qi Rong would rather be dead than to be placed in another system that would ruin his life. Qi Rong couldn’t die yet though, because there was Gu Zi to think of. 

Objectively, Qi Rong had known GuZi was only living here. He knows Gu Zi would rather live here than with the deadbeat, but does Qi Rong have any right to keep him?

Then, GuZi put his ipad down and looked at Qi Rong, “Are we still going to the park?”

“Do you want to live together forever Gu Zi? Never go back to that other place? It will be just you and me?” 

He could feel the footsteps and chattering in the hall through the vibration on the door. Another knock. The knocking wouldn’t stop. The door would be kicked down on top of Qi Rong any minute now.

 It didn’t matter though. Only Gu Zi’s answer mattered and Qi Rong had to breathe and focus on Guzi’s face as he processed the question, focusing on hearing the boy’s voice over the knocking.

No one had ever asked Qi Rong where he wanted to be, so he had to give GuZi this choice at least.

Gu Zi looked confused at the question for all  of one second and answered with no doubts and a smile, “Of course!”

“Great. Pack your shit. We’re moving.”

Vinnil head cannons?

-fluff head cannon for you: vinnie and Sunil are always touching even when they don’t notice in fact their friends point it out more often then they notice.

Oh thank you so much for giving me a headcanon, I love receiving them, please feel free to send more if you want. As for me, well, I'll try to give you some and keep them relatively new or at least mention ones I haven't talked about in a long time if that's even possible:

one of Vinnie's favourite things ever he wants to do with his significant other - so Sunil in this case, is taking showers with him. To him it's such an intimate and pleasant experience cause he gets to see Sunil in all his glory and he gets his dose of touching him and also being touched plus having his hair washed by Sunil is even better than showering itself. Naturally Sunil was much more hesitant about doing it for the first time and as willing as Vinnie was he 100% expected that so he was patient and when they finally showered together it was so much more special

whenever Sunil needs to leave for a longer time (or honestly any amount of time), and for whatever reason Vinnie can't go with him, he leaves him a piece of clothing he has been wearing so Vinnie has his smell with him because he's weird like that and that keeps him relatively calm. Actually, Sunil has a few ways to control Vinnie like that so this is just one of them

they are anxiety boyfriends, you can't change my mind. Sunil is just anxious in general while Vinnie has separation anxiety, and while everyone kinda just knows that being fearful is one of Sunil's defining features your average person who knows Vinnie is not aware of hisanxiety because well, it's not there all the time plus it's not that he's willing to admit to that. So anyway, anxiety boyfriends, but while Sunil's response is more of a flight or sometimes fawn Vinnie's is more of a mix of fight and rarer freeze

it's not that Vinnie has green hair and wears so many green clothes etc because green is his favourite color, oh no. You see, green is actually Sunil's favourite color partly because it's so calming, so... you know, that why Vinnie uses it so much. Why doesn't Sunil use green nearly as much if it's his favourite color? Because he thinks he looks bad in green. Naturally Vinnie doesn't agree, but while convincing Sunil about that is hard what is easy is wearing green himself. I have absolutely told a different headcanon before that directly contradicts this one, so like every other headcanon this one doesn't exist in every timeline

Vinnie handles Sunil's stressful social situations whenever possible like phone calls or ordering food. He very much does that also in the rare occasions that his social battery is empty because he just loves Sunil this much. It's not that he does that 100% of the time, Sunil does not want to appear like he can't do it himself because he really can and/or it'd be hard to explain every detail Vinnie needs to remember to him, but it does definitely happen, basically just

with Sunil being the one hiding of course. Well, Vinnie's much shorter so it's not very effective but you know

if they were to get married, and given that Vinnie really, really wants that and Sunil is rather neutral - he can, doesn't have to it's going to happen, Vinnie wants to be the one to take Sunil's last name. This is to satisfy his possesive urges. You could say it's kinda backwards but that's exactly what he wants so then he will be Vinnie Nevla, well, Vincent Alfonso Nevla. At the very least he wants their last names to be combined, so Terrio-Nevla or Nevla-Terrio, but preferably he just wants to be Nevla.

Sunil is the only one who really knows just how extreme Vinnie can get. For example, one time Vinnie was really smelly because a skunk sprayed him (hehe) and he really wanted cuddles but Sunil said he wouldn't cuddle him until he stopped smelling. So Vinnie hopped under the shower the same day to get rid of this smell of course. And once he realized it wasn't getting off that easily he fucking scrubbed himself bloody. Just to get cuddles. Yeah.

Okay I think that's enough. For someone whose favourite ship is Vinnil I really don't have that many headcanons for them because 95% of my brain power dedicated to lps goes to Vinnie alone.

Wait..the others are being pranked too????

@demon-blood-youths @chunibyo-x-sorcerer

"Of course it is!!!!! Everyone is already dealing with pranksters today! I mean, yeah it's funny but some anons tend to go well..over board." Davion explains to the anon. Just like this morning...

"Some anons pranked the fractions just for fun." he explains to them.

"Yeah! My fraction got pranked. Someone messed with Vivi's tea set and replaced it with dirt." she said. She remembers Vivi's eye twitching and she was spitting out the tea that tasted like dirt.

"My drum set was destroyed! Still not cool!"

"Echo well..she's got some putting her in a cute girly princess dress and...she hates that." She remembers Echo swearing in Italian very angry and she's on the hunt for any more.

"Mouse had someone send fake virus she is working on getting rid of them. She's been annoyed since it also ruined her laptop." she sweatdrops.

"And Jinx well.........they sorta ruined her morning by dumping oil on her, dump feathers on her, and she is trying to get the stuff off..no luck." she said.

"The other fractions..I don't know. I heard some was pranking Kali with very annoying noises and pranks. Someone even dumped pies on Kali and her team."

"Someone destroyed Ash's greenhouse...again. She was upset about that for a while." she said remembering Ashley's crying with her team worried. "As for the guys, well...they had their own set of pranks."

"Rex and his fraction, some were having their weapons taken away last night but..they were placed in hidden locations. Coated in glue and sticky paste."

"Ummm Ethan and Willow's teams got pranked. Someone trapped Ethan's group in a gas house but..they has to leave due to the horrible smell. Willow's place was coated in toilet paper and....their was garbage everywhere. That smelled horrible too."

"I know Fin's area was scatted with skunks....I don't know how they got so many in that location.."

"......Uhh did I miss anyone?" she asked.

"Well, Yuuka's team was pranked. Some was drenched in water that had itching powder mixed in it. However, Yuu had her hair died black and frozen with some prank glue. She's been trying to clean it out for hours since this morning......"

"As for Guam's fraction, I don't know. I heard something happened but we got no word of the anon jokesters doing.."

"The lovely horrors were pranked too...but I know they were not happy. Even with some people drawing on their faces for fun. It was not funny knowing the markers were leaving them itchy. Even some they are with got pranked. Ryu and Gin had their clothes stolen. Willie was put in a drunken state to mess with his telekenisis and he is angry. Chuya was pied in the face and covered in so many mud pies....ummmm he is still mad of the chocolate. Yumeno didn't like the pranks since some was trying to scare him....I don't know of the horrors themselves but their pranks were not fun." Breezy said.

"I heard Batman was pranked too. His own suit was died pink but he also was seeing some was dressing up the bats. I remember him saying his bat mobile was painted and coated in oil and with feathers. He was not happy about that." Davion said.

"As for Yuji and the others..I got word that they are going through their own pranksters and well..some are taking it too far with the others using cursed techniques to prank them. Even the Exorcists too..."

"So to say in short....they already made this day bad." Breezy said. "I'm going to kill those jerks for destroying my drum set-" As she speaks some ran by but they were holding something else.

"Huh? Hey, those are my panties! WHAT THE FUCK! GIVE THOSE BACK!" She chases after them.

"Breezy wait!" Davion sees her rush off but he sweatdrops. "And before you ask, even Izuku and the others are being pranked too..."

God I'm not done. Smokers think you can't fucking TELL. They think they're "discreet" as if that's not the most foul scent any one else has ever smelled. Especially weed smokers. Like do you actually get it? Do you understand? I don't think you do. You literally smell so bad that people compare you to a skunk and use similar practices to get rid of your scent. How does this not matter to you? I'd be so embarrassed. People think of you as an animal that is known for smelling bad. You stink up the spaces close to you and make life worse for people who are literally just trying to do their best. Stop fucking smoking. I don't even care about being nice about it anymore, you are gross, block me. Stop fucking smoking.

[rxttenfish]

How To Get Rid of Skunk Smell in the Yard

Skunk spray can travel ten feet and potentially settle into the porous surfaces of wooden decks and play sets or natural stone walkways. But there are ways to deodorize these outdoor structures.

Mix 1 cup of bleach with 1 gallon of water (be sure to test in a small area to when working with bleach)

Working in small areas, use a sponge, cloth, or mop to wash the surface with the solution

Rinse each section with fresh water immediately after scrubbing, making sure not to let the solution sit for more than five minutes, as bleach can discolor the surface.

Do not use this solution in a pressure washer. The overspray can bleach plants or other unintended items.

Launder any affected outdoor fabrics in a washer set to the hottest setting with ½ cup of baking soda and laundry detergent. If items are too large, use a steamer to neutralize the odor.

These tips will help get rid of the skunk smell, but remember to work quickly so the odor has less time to settle in.

All the Things We’ll Leave Behind: ch 27, pt 3

I hope everyone has had a good weekend! I'll see you with another update Tuesday!

Previously

~

“If it’s something that can help us find A-Zhan, I promise I won’t do anything that would get you in trouble,” jyl said so seriously it startled jzxuan. He had known the omega a long time and while he had, on a few rare occasions, seen her adopt a serious attitude for whatever reason—usually in defence of her dumbass brother—he had never been close enough to actually see the cold sincerity in her face, to smell the sparkle of a promise wafting off her.

The Lus paused in their badly whispered argument over whether to tell them whatever secret they were keeping before the omega-girl blurted out, “Bunnies!”

“Bunnies?” the alpha-girl asked, obviously as surprised by their answer as jzxuan and jyl were. She raised an eyebrow at her friends. “I didn’t know you had wild bunnies here.”

“We don’t,” jyl told her, her own eyebrows crinkled in confusion.

“We didn’t,” the omega-girl continued, “but, well…”

“But someone got two from the city,” came another voice, one of the alpha-girls who had talked about how horrible jwy was, jzxuan realized as she too stepped out of the restaurant, followed by the remainder of their group. “His parents freaked out though and told him to get rid of them. I think they expected him to kill the things—wouldn’t have if they knew him at all,” she scoffed, shaking her head, her waist length hair swishing around her as she muttered about parents who knew nothing about their own children. “Well, he couldn’t kill them, and he couldn’t keep them. So he let them go.”

“We all expected them to die!” another voice added, someone near them saying they still thought that should count as killing them, not the circle of life, and seemingly setting the group into an ongoing argument over ethics and where responsibility ended.

“But they didn’t!” someone else called over their friends’ argument. “And you know what happens when bunnies are left alone.”

A few of the teenagers snickered, before a timid omega-boy stammered, “I-I thought they were b-both girls!” sending more of the group into a fit of laughter.

“A-Zhan does like bunnies…” jyl said as she turned back to the woods.

“You think he’d run off into the woods chasing one?” the foreign alpha-girl asked.

jzxuan was already shaking his head in exasperation and looking off into the woods when he heard jyl confirm that yes, she did in fact believe lwj would run off into the woods chasing woodland creatures. Of course he would. He liked bunnies and he was drunk as a skunk—another woodland animal. Just great. Just what he needed, to have to explain to wwx how his mate had run off to join the creatures of the forest. Maybe the older alpha would kill him, rip his throat out. At least then he wouldn’t have to deal with inheriting the family business or getting married off to some omega he didn’t want.

Behind him, he could hear the group of teens discussing the situation, something about whether some of them should head to the more accessible areas around where lwj had disappeared to see if they could find the runaway alpha. Personally, he was rather done with this whole situation and wanted to go to bed. Could he just lay down right here, right in front of the sketchy crepe restaurant, and sleep? He doubted the old lady inside could move him, although she was likely to kick him until he moved himself.

Unfortunately, jzxuan couldn’t just let these random teenagers go off and find his lost, intoxicated friend, although he cursed himself for not being able to just abandon everyone. Maybe his father was right after all, maybe he did need to be a bit more cold-hearted. Leave the teenagers, stupid and still idolizing lwj after his fight with Chong-xiansheng, to find him. He could be their problem now! jzxuan would just have to figure out how to not care about his friend’s fate!

~

A/N: of course lwj spotted a bunny and chased after it. I wonder if he'll catch it 🤔

[review-anon]

(Farts in Mikado’s so badly that the smell stayed in his nose for four weeks no matter how hard he tried to get a rid of it)

....This is the best you lot can come up with?

I suppose farts smell better then skunk spray...a sentence I thought I would never say.

The Skunk Ape

“And we’re here.” My coworker Tyson said, as he stopped his truck in a flat, grassy area near the marsh.

We had a three day weekend thanks to Memorial Day, and I was spending it hunting with a pair of coworkers, Mike and Tyson. Truth be told, I didn’t like these guys very much, never did. But, they invited me out with them, and I figured it would be better than a normal three day weekend at home, just streaming TV with my girlfriend.

She almost didn’t let me go. I love her, but she is crazy (or at least back then, I thought she was); she believed some local news story she saw on TV about some rednecks who said that this huge, apelike monster, one  that smelled as rancid as a dumpster, killed their dog. Personally, I thought it was just a bunch of bullshit. There’s no way a monster was really out there, less than an hour outside the city, right?

________

We planned to camp out in an area that technically wasn’t a legal hunting ground, but Tyson had been hunting hogs in this area for years, he knew this was the spot to get started. Besides, legal or not, feral hogs are a nuisance; I figured we were doing the land a favor by getting rid of one, (or a few, if we were lucky).

“Alright guys, we’re already a little behind thanks to last minute stop for drinks, so let’s hurry up,  we gotta get this tent pitched while it’s still daylight before we start hunting”

“Start hunting?” I asked. “Aren’t we going to wait until the morning?”

Mike and Tyson both laughed. “Sorry, I just forget you’re a newbie sometimes. Best time to hunt hogs is at night; the little bastards are virtually nocturnal. So come on, let’s stop wasting time and get this tent setup, otherwise we’ll be doing it in the dark.”

As we were getting our tent and our firepit setup, I heard a strange howl coming from the marsh. Sounds like a bizarre mix between a chimpanzee screech and a lion’s roar.

“What do you think that was?” I asked.

“I don’t know, probably a horny buck.” Mike said, although it was obvious he was only guessing.

____

By the time the sun went down, our tent was pitched, and our firepit was assembled. We then loaded our rifles, and went hunting for wild pork chops.

About an hour or so into our hunt, I began to smell something foul; imagine raw sewage mixed with rotting meat, that’s how overpoweringly awful the smell was. I thought for sure it must have been a rotting carcass somewhere, but the smell almost seemed to follow us, as we were walking through the marshland.

I then heard a noise; it sounded like something rustling through the nearby bushes. I turned my flashlight in its direction, only to see nothing. I then heard a similar sound, this time coming from behind us. Immediately after, Mike screamed “HELP!”

He was dragged behind a tree. I ran over to try to help, and then, I saw the monster that I was warned about. Standing right in front of me, and right on top of Mike, was a monstrous ape. It stood at least seven feet tall, and had layers of brown, matted hair. Its odor was so abhorrent that it made my eyes water just standing within like, ten feet of it.

I looked down, hoping Mike was alive. But no, his head was bleeding profusely, and he wasn’t moving. Once the monster was sure he finished him off, he then started staring me dead in the eye.

I was sure I was about to be its next victim, before Tyson took a shot at the beast. The beast then retreated into the marsh, and we lost it as it entered the brush.

“MIKE! MIKE, SPEAK TO ME!” Tyson said, but it was too late. 

“Come on.” he then said to me. “We have to get back to camp.”

_____

We walked back to our campsite in a hurry. I was hoping that the monster was dead, but had no way to know for sure. We kept our heads on a swivel, aiming our guns in the direction of every sound we heard, hoping it wouldn’t be the beast again.

I remember getting closer to the campsite, thinking Tyson’s bullet had either killed or scared off the ape. But then, I smelled something; a smell so awful, I instantly knew what it had to be.

“Tyson, it’s…” I began to say, before the beast rushed out from the the brush, and before either of us could aim and shoot, he plowed into Tyson like a football player. He knocked him down, and then pounded on his face with his ungodly large fists before finishing off by biting him in the neck. I  turned and started running. I had to get away, but the beast wasn’t letting me go so easily.

  I could hear it running after me, and quickly. After a long sprint, I decided to take my last stand. If I was about to die, I was at least going to try to take the monster with me. So I stood still, took a deep breath, aimed in the direction of the monster’s noise, and fired one shot. 

I didn’t think it would work. I expected to miss, and for the skunk ape to then jump out and kill me. I went over to look for its body; I didn’t find it, but I found a trail of blood leading away. After a minute or so, I couldn’t smell its awful stench anymore.

_________

To this day, I’ve never been back hunting in that marsh.

[baronfulmen]

They are! But also some reminders:

1. Skunks are normally nocturnal so if you see them outside in the middle of the day it's possible they have rabies. Just to be safe, be VERY careful.

2. Getting sprayed by a skunk is extremely not fun, all the jokes about how hard it is to get rid of the smell are absolutely true, it's so so bad

3. While you should never mess with wild animals you don't need to flip out when you see a skunk. They normally can only spray once every 24 hours(ish) and they don't want to waste it on you so typically they'll ignore you and walk right by. But if they stop their adorable feet or turn to face their butt at you fucking run.

FOOLS - Chapter 49 - Part 1

BOOK ONE: The 'Fools Fall in Love' Trilogy

*Warning Adult Content*

Samuel Moretti

"Goodbye, Sam."

The second I heard the door close, I covered my mouth with my hand and practically fell to the floor.

I sobbed pathetically in the janitor's closet as my heart began to break, piece by piece.

Is this real?

Did Noah actually break up with me?

I've always thought when people talked about having their heart broken it was just metaphorically.

I don't believe that anymore.

Based on the pain that was in my chest, my heart literally broke.

I felt like dying.

I wished I had died to get rid of that horrible, excruciating pain.

My whole world had collapsed on me, that was the feeling.

I didn't think I had ever experienced that type of pain to that extent.

My sob lessened to double intakes of breaths and silent tears.

After a couple minutes, I pulled myself back up.

Screw school, I was going home but as I walked out of the janitors closet and turned the corner, I ran into someone.

I blinked a couple times before I realized who I ran into. Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn's face filled with worry.

"Hey, are you okay? What's wrong?"

And my sobbing started up again

"Noah. He... he... he," I was crying so much I could barely form a coherent sentence.

"He broke up with... with..." I cried even harder.

"With me," I finally got out.

I was an emotional person but I didn't normally cry that hard.

With tears rushing down my face, snot clogging up my nostrils, my breathing wavering uncontrollably.

I could already feel the raging migraine coming on behind my eyes from all the crying I'd done.

"What? What happened?" she asked looking genuinely upset for my sake.

"I... I can't breathe."

It felt like my lungs were going to fail on me.

"Okay, okay. Just take deep breaths. Let's uh..." Kaitlyn looked around before her eyes landed on the bathrooms.

"Follow me," she instructed, though she was holding onto me the whole time.

When we walked into the girls bathroom, we went to the back and slumped down against the wall.

"Here," Kaitlyn said as she pulled out a mini packet of tissues from her book bag.

"Tell me what happened."

"We were..."

The bathroom door swung open revealing a Junior named Becca.

"Um, excuse you, this is a girls bathroom," the Junior said, looking at me in disgust and I wasn't too sure why Kaitlyn didn't just bring us into the gender neutral bathroom.

"Fuck off," Kaitlyn hissed at her.

"Ugh," the girl muttered before storming out.

Kaitlyn refocused on me.

I cried and tried my best to tell her exactly what happened between Noah and I.

When I finished, I was all teared out.

"It was horrible, Kaitlyn. We've never talked to each other like that."

"I don't think he really meant it. Clearly he was angry before even talking to you. I mean, that's no excuse for how he talked to you but give him time to cool off and then talk to him."

"What if he did mean it?"

I began to tear up again.

"He just needs some time," Kaitlyn told me again.

I nodded and laid my head onto her shoulder.

Maybe Kaitlyn's right.

Noah's dad pissed him off way before we got into an argument.

Noah was just being impulsive and once he cooled down, we would sort things out again.

After a moment of silence, I said...

"How is the girls bathroom significantly cleaner than the boy's? And why does it smell like flowers in here but like a skunk blew up the place in the boy's bathroom?"

Kaitlyn laughed.

"Probably because girls constantly spray their perfume in here and all those burnout jocks smoke weed in your guy's bathroom. Yet, never get caught."

"Makes sense," I said then wiped my nose with my tissue, ridding it from the snot that accumulated while I had my crying session.

I stood up.

"Oh my God," I whined as I saw myself in the mirror.

My face was all puffy and my eyes looked worn out and red due to the crying.

Tear stains trailed down my checks.

"I need to go home."

"Let me drive you," Kaitlyn offered, looking at me through the mirror.

"You're in no state to be driving right now. I'll text Haven saying you left early and she'll drive your car home."

I nodded.

Speaking was not an option for me at that moment.

Even uttering the words 'thank you' to her would cause me to choke up and start sobbing again.

Kaitlyn held out her hand and I gladly took it.

"Let's get out of here," she said.

Kaitlyn dropped me off at home.

She offered to talk more or stay over with me but I thanked her and told her I wanted to be alone.

So, alone in my bedroom, I was crying into my pillow, wondering if what happened was real or a God awful nightmare.

I really did feel like dying, the emotional pain was too much, too excruciating.

I loved Noah more than anything.

None of my ex boyfriend's break up compared but eventually, I was able to fall asleep, my pillow soaked in my tears and snot and my cat cuddled up by my legs and I dreamt of Noah.

It wasn't until after four pm that I woke up, my eyes and cheeks still red and puffy and I decided I should probably eat and by eat I mean indulging in a carton of ice cream.

When I got downstairs, Haven was there.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" she asked with her worried eyes.

I shook my head, barely able to say...

"Noah... he... he broke up with me," more tears pooling in my eyes.

"Oh, babe," and she spoke softly and pulled me into a hug.

I wrapped my arms around her, grateful for my sister's comfort.

Until she spoke...

"But it's probably for the best. Noah is toxic."

I pulled back like she was a hot flame, giving her a bewildered look.

"Toxic? You don't even know him."

She held up her hands.

"Hey, no need to get defensive. All I'm saying is, from what I've heard, he's not a good person and has a shit home life. You don't want to deal with that."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing from my sister.

"Are you fucking kidding me? You're dating 'Zach Price' he cheats on you all the time and you stupidly forgive him. All. The. Time. Noah's not toxic. He's better than everyone at that fucking school combined. He's been through more shit than you'll ever know. He would never cheat on me."

"Funny, didn't Noah cheat on Kaitlyn for you? And I think I remember that argument in your room about him shoving you? Or did I miss understand?"

I shook my head, not caring for her words.

She heard one conversation and a few rumors and thought she knew Noah?

If she knew the way he loved me, she wouldn't be saying any of this.

"He's not fucking toxic."

"Hmm," she nodded.

"Answer me this, have you ever swore at me before Noah?" I gritted my teeth, my hands balled in a fisted. I never hated my sister but I swore in that moment I did.

I stormed back into my room, slamming my bedroom door shut and I cried the rest of the day.

kiss a frog princess, pay security money to a rabbit mob boss, ride to war by the order of a cat warlord, become a horse's magical target practice, get thrown into an isekai world with a skunk sidekick who dictates your quests if you want to return to your world, make an elaborate lunch banquet for a cocky (pun very much intended) king, or compete and win against a beaver in building the greatest castle at a five-hour minecraft session?

Ok so in order of operations:

Get thrown into an isekai world with a skunk friend who has the rules

Kiss a frog princess hoping that she might turn human and aid me on my quest but it turns out she is a frog princess and doesn’t like my friend’s smell too much so I get arrested

I become a horse’s magical target practice however I am visited by a rabbit who hates the horse for being perceived as the faster animal and the first few security money are on them, they just want me to get rid of the horse

So I put the horse’s name and my name into the enlistment records for the warlord cat and because of their size, the horse is overwhelmed by the rat horde and I survive the war by teaching the rats how to cook some french cuisine consisting of tomato sauce and boiled veggies. The rest are killed off by my skunk friend’s smell

I am given the honor to host a banquet for the rooster king but also my skunk friends wants me to beat the beaver at Minecraft in order to leave this wretched world behind

So, because both roosters and beavers are prideful animals, the two argue with each other at the dinner table while I win the competition against the beaver earning my freedom

The end

We've looked at physical stores and various websites to create a nice selection of presents. All you need to do now is start wrapping. From POOPH Odor and Stain Eliminator to fetch balls and cat trees, discover the top gift ideas for the holiday season.

1     Why POOPH Is a Great Gift

When the time comes to give a present to anybody who owns a pet, you simply cannot go wrong with the powerful POOPH spray. Countless testimonials indicate that the pet odor remover is indeed effective, thanks to its efficient combination of water as a solvent, surfactants, and other natural ingredients working together. POOPH is used to manage odor on various surfaces, including waste treatment centers, landfills and recycling facilities. It works on all organic aromas and is completely SAFE for people, pets and the planet. Animal lovers may also appreciate similar POOPH products made to combat the stink of kitty litter and skunk, as well as lawn, garden & turf.

2     Tug of War Toys

Engaging in an old fashioned game of tug of war with your dog is a great way to fulfill their need for physical exercise, regardless of whether you can go outside or not. This game also helps canines understand boundaries and rules, especially during their teething phase when they tend to nip. Playing tug of war can also be a valuable tool in teaching your dog the "drop it" command. Both puppies and adult dogs get to fulfill their natural instinct to tug, while preventing undesirable habits, like eating Daddy’s shoes.

3     Fetch Toys

If you are a dog owner, you’re most likely familiar with an obsession of playing fetch. No matter how many times you throw a ball, frisbee or plushie, dogs always come back for more. To satisfy their cravings, look for a tough rubber one that can withstand even the toughest chewing, and still be ready for another game. It should be lightweight and waterproof, making it perfect for playing in any environment, whether that’s in your house, on the grass or even in the snow.

4      Cat Tree

When it comes to felines, they almost always appreciate a nice cat tree. It's important to choose one that’s nice and tall (4 to 6 feet), with well-staggered platforms. This allows your pet to exercise by moving from one stage to another and gives them a quality stretch. Most buyers prefer ones that are covered in long-lasting durable carpet, rather than fleece or plain wood. It doesn’t hurt to look for cat trees that come with scratching posts and spacious perches for sleeping and playing. Don’t forget to use POOPH to deodorize your kitten’s cat trees every so often.

5      Cat Tunnel Bed 

If you're looking for a versatile toy for your furry friend, you may want to consider getting them a bed that doubles up as a play tunnel. It's purr-fect for pets that enjoy burrowing and hiding, providing them with a cozy space to take a nap or play around. Meanwhile, the added dangling toys at the entrance gives them something to keep them entertained. If you have two energetic kittens, they'll likely have a blast chasing each other through this multi-purpose toy.

Thankfully POOPH is here to help keep all of these toys nice, clean and STINK FREE! POOPH Odor and Stain Eliminator instantly fights off all organic smells and gets rid of unsightly blotches. Our Kitty Litter Odor Eliminator and Kitty Litter Box Saver are specially formulated for the unique stink that only comes from our feline friends and their funky litter boxes. And don’t forget our Pet Odor Eliminator Laundry Additive to freshen up your pet’s bed, blanket and toys.

Fleas, Skunks and Other Irritants --- Linda Knight Seccaspina

Fleas, Skunks and Other Irritants — Linda Knight Seccaspina

Fleas, Skunks and Other Irritants — Linda Knight Seccaspina I have encountered my fair share of skunks growing up as a child in the Quebec townships. But, last week my husband Steve got sprayed by a skunk in the yard while the sun was coming up. It seems everyone has come to me throughout the years to remedy an immediate crisis. Like my sons when they were young, my husband came into the…
