Comparing the price of a 16lb bag of dry cat food to a bag of small training treats for dogs... same cost for a significantly larger amount of product.
The cat food is almost definitely higher value too.

There was no way.
There was no way in hell they were pairing you up with him. Again.
You were confirmed to be cast as the female lead in the movie before any other characters were casted. They should have chosen a different male lead for this romance film. Heck, even Kim Taehyung, a friend of yours, received an offer for the role and you were certain he planned to take it. Unfortunately for you, even if Taehyung wanted the role, he couldn’t accept it because of scheduling conflict with another film he’s already working on.
Jeon Jungkook, an actor you starred alongside in “Dangerous Illusion”, was just confirmed as the male lead of your upcoming movie “Chosen for Pleasure”. The same man who seemed to make it his life goal to ruin you. After Jungkook was confirmed to play the male lead in your upcoming movie, fans on Twitter have been blowing up about it and made you two a trending topic worldwide. Elated fans mentioned you in their tweets expressing how happy they were to see you two again together. You wish you could say you felt the same.
The previous movie you worked on was a thriller/mystery. You played the part of Jungkook's wife in the film. The film was a blockbuster hit, as a result of the well-thought storyline, yet additionally because of its leads. Fans adored the chemistry between you and Jungkook, regardless of not having a lot of romantic scenes in the film. There were a lot of fans who wanted to see you two on-screen once more, this time, in a romance focused film. Looks like their wishes were coming true.
To add insult to injury, your impending film was going to be an adult romance. It required some steamy scenes that normally didn't trouble you because you were a true professional, yet absolutely irritates you now since you need to do them with Jeon Jungkook.
Tumblr media
The script reading was to be done today and your eyes opened an hour later than the time you set for your alarm because of the fucking snooze button. Seriously, why were snooze buttons even invented? They just allowed people to sleep through their alarms continuously.
Hand reaching for the phone on your nightstand, you knocked over a booklet that was over it. It was the script you spent hours reading to grab a sense of the character you were going to portray. Obviously, you already knew the basics about the part you were going to play, but knowing the entire story helped in portraying your character.
Your eyes squinted at the bright light of your phone that had the numbers 8:33 glaring at you, unlocking it to see a couple of texts and missed calls from your manager.
‘Are you awake yet?’
‘Please don’t tell me you forgot about the script reading today’
‘Ok I know you’re still asleep but just make sure you get ready on time, being late won’t do you and your image any favors’
‘I’ll pick you up at 9’
You rolled your eyes at his messages. You loved Hoseok and he was the best manager you could have been given from your agency, but he nagged too much. He was also your friend and his endless nags made you want to rip your eyeballs out sometimes because even when you’re supposed to unwind with him, he never forgets to remind you of your job.
‘I’m the fucking lead, Hobi, they’ll wait for me’
You slapped your phone back onto the nightstand and started going about with your morning routine. You didn’t have a lot of time, and even though you knew they would definitely wait for you, you hated being that bitch who made people wait so you took a quick shower and slapped on some sunscreen, powder, and finishing off with your go-to lipstick. You didn’t bother with makeup and dressing up. This was just going to be a script reading and sure, there were going to be photos taken but the thousands of dollars you’ve spent on facials and treatments already made sure your face was at least flawless despite the lack of effort.
Bringing only your phone, wallet and script, you exited your building and as usual, a shiny black van already awaited outside. Hoseok was leaning on it, scrolling through his phone when he sensed your presence and looked up.
“Oh, thank god you’re on time.” He exhaled in relief, pocketing his phone.
“I value sleep but you’re well aware I also value my career.”
Hoseok grinned. “Now there’s the y/n I know.” He then slid the van door open and you entered without another word.
The drive was pretty much uneventful, with you scrolling through your social media, seeing what fans have been tweeting about recently and with Hoseok humming along to the random pop music playing.
You longed for a distraction, something much more interesting than working your thumb throughout the drive because of the chasm that you were about to jump into when you arrived on set. You weren’t stupid enough to forget about the man who got the role of your romantic interest in the film. But you were wise enough to not let it haunt you for the past weeks. Now though, you can’t really avoid it anymore since you were supposed to be seeing him in person again after almost 2 years. You didn’t exactly leave on the best terms with Jungkook but who knows, maybe you’ll be able to act civil around each other.
At least you were sure you were going to act civil around him, already decided on taking the higher path. You’re not so sure about him, but fingers crossed he’ll at least be an adult about the situation and pretend he can stand being in the same room as you.
Soon enough, you were entering the room the script reading was to be held in. Bowing and greeting the actors and staff seated around the table as you passed by to get to the last vacant seat. You caught Jungkook’s eyes following your movements as you sat down. Luckily, he was seated across from you and it was easier to ignore his presence with the staff members greeting and coddling you.
As always, script reading began with actors introducing themselves and the role they’re going to play. As the female lead, you started off.
“Hello everyone. I’m y/n y/l/n and I’m going to take on the role of Yuri.” Hands clapped around you as you sat back down.
“Hello, I’m Jeon Jungkook and I’ll be playing Ryan.”
You didn’t bother clapping unlike the rest and avoided the eyes of the voice’s origin.
The script reading continued without a hitch– for the most part. The other cast members were very friendly, and laughter was exchanged during the read. The same couldn’t be said for you and Jungkook though.
When lines between your characters were exchanged, there was a weird tension in the room. It felt like everyone else were holding their breaths and waiting for either of you two explode and announce that you can’t do this film anymore. As dramatic as that would be, none of that happened. Instead, cheesy romantic lines sounded flat and bored from both you and Jungkook. The director made a tsk-ing sound whenever that happened.
“It’s always been you.” You read. The script said that Yuri and Ryan stared in adoration towards each other before Ryan uttered his next words.
“Marry me?” Jungkook asked.
You nodded your head as a wrap for the script reading. According to the script, there was supposed to be a kissing scene at the end, so you make ridiculous smooching noises. The cast burst into giggles before the director stood from his seat.
“…and that’s a wrap!” He clasped his hands together. “Hopefully when we start shooting things only look up from there.” He flitted his eyes between you and Jungkook.
Honestly, you wish that too but from yours and Jungkook’s history, you don’t really think that’s possible.
You were both professionals though and you’re sure you could at least count on him to make the on-screen romance feel real.
Tumblr media
“I’m sorry.” Hoseok said with pity in his eyes.
“Wha- but… why?” You asked, confused with what was happening.
Your part in the new film ‘The Notebook: Remake’ has apparently been withdrawn. As one of the rising stars in Hollywood, this was a really great opportunity for you. It’s one of the most anticipated films and accepting the offer of being the female lead in the movie was a no-brainer. Anyone who refuses that role is just stupid.
But now they were apparently taking it back.
Hoseok sighed. “There were too many scandals surrounding you recently. It doesn’t matter if they’re true or not, but you’ve been seen in hotels that Jeon Jungkook has been in too, and in everyone’s eyes you’re now secretly seeing him.”
“But we’ve never even been seen together in any of those photos. Don’t people know the word fucking coincidence?” Your brows furrowed, fists clenching at your sides. “And what does this have to do with my role in the film?”
“It seems they wanted someone with a ‘cleaner image’ and someone who’ll get the film to be a hit. Apparently, the romance won't be convincing if the female lead is dating someone in real life.”
You stared at Hoseok. He stared back waiting for a lash out, an angry outburst, anything really, but you remained silent, eyes unmoving. Soon enough, the dam doors burst open and the tears suddenly came streaming down your face. Hoseok exhaled and wrapped his arms around you.
“Hobi what did I do so wrong to deserve this?” you sobbed into his chest.
“Shh, it’s not your fault they’re all dumbasses. But you know the industry, y/n. We’ll find better films for you, okay?”
“Why is Jeon Jungkook such a thorn on my side? Why is he always ruining everything for me?”
“We can’t blame him, honey. He’s probably a victim in this too because of those damn rumor outlets.” Hoseok rubbed his hands along your back.
“But I’m getting the short end of the stick! The rumor is probably just feeding his bad boy persona!”
“Life’s unfair, y/n. Surely by now you’re aware of that. Just remember, karma’s going to bite them in the ass someday, okay? For now, do you want to call it a day and go home? I’ll drive you back and I’ll just report to the agency that you’re not feeling well.”
You nod your head, too listless to bother answering with words because there was only one thing on your mind right now.
Fuck Jeon Jungkook and his good looks. He just ruined the best opportunity for you. You were going to get him back for this. Like Hoseok said, karma’s going to bite him in the ass someday. And that karma was going to be you.
Tumblr media
You were supposed to be looking forward to filming one of your dream movies with your dream director. But all you felt was dread when you arrived on set. You promised yourself that you’d stay unaffected to Jeon Jungkook, but you couldn’t help the distaste for him to be left on your face while filming.
The scene you were shooting was when your characters first met and the first takes were a total disaster. You and Jungkook barely spared each other a glance, even when your character was supposed to be enticed by him, breaking down Yuri’s cold exterior. A break was called after the 6th take because the director was so frustrated that he looked like he was about to call the casting director and replace his two leads.
You sighed, not knowing what to do with yourself after the announcement of a break. Your feet led you to your dressing room, ready to pass out on the couch but before you could, someone barged in. Your head turned towards the door, expecting it to be your manager or the director or anyone really, just not the person who currently stood at the doorway.
“Can we talk?” Jungkook asked. Your eyes were suddenly drawn to his biceps which bulged from his shirt as he crossed his arms. The damn arms looked delicious. Too bad they belonged to someone you would never ever be attracted to.
“Sure.” You shrugged your shoulders. You were sure he came here to talk to you about filming and how to work out your indifferences and shit like that and honestly, you were so tired of hating him you’re ready to just go along with whatever. Hating someone actually takes a lot of effort, you realize.
Jungkook stepped towards you until he’s close enough that you had to tilt your head upwards to look at his eyes. His eyes locked on yours for a moment before his arms uncrossed and one of his hands landed on the wall behind you. He successfully caged you in with no way out. His lips part and your eyes are drawn to the movement, feeling his exhales on your nose. You swallowed nervously.
Good lord his breath smelled so good.
“Babe, I’m sure you’re just as thrilled as I am to be working with you again as you are with me, but let’s not mess this up okay? Let’s get this over with perfectly and quickly so we don’t have to deal with each other again after. Deal?” His eyebrows raised in question and you nodded dumbly, unable to form a coherent sentence with how close he was to you.
You felt a sudden rush of heat down there and was mentally cursing the man in front of you for how much he was affecting you. He tilted his head to the side and leaned in closer to your face as if he was about to kiss you then he suddenly stopped, his mouth forming a smirk, taunting you.
That smirk was all it took for you to snap back to reality. No, you were not going to let him take the upper hand here. A burst of confidence surged through you as you leaned closer to him too and allowed your lips to brush lightly against his cheek.
“Deal.”
You pulled away, satisfied with how his lips drooped apparently not expecting that. You looked down and there it was, the tenting of his pants that brought a coy smile to your lips. Ha, take that.
You glanced back up at him, your fingers trailing over his thighs. “Aw, didn’t realize you saw me that way Jeon.” You abruptly pulled away and walked out of the room without another word, leaving him hard and defeated.
This is the beginning of his karma, you thought as you grinned to yourself.

What if Peter is setup on a blind date but he doesn't want to go alone so he talks MJ into finding a date so they can double. It's a mess. The worst double date ever. MJ orders for Peter, Peter eats off MJ's plate, they tell inside jokes. People mistake who's dating who.
okay, so this headcanon REALLY speaks to me on a personal level because I am watching The Office right now with my roommate and I am growing increasingly fascinated with Mindy Kahling and BJ Novak. they’re soup snakes (look it up) and this headcanon feels like that. with a dash of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively (apparently they were friends 5ever and went on a double date together with different people and just IGNORED their dates)
[part 2]
Peter and MJ are best friends. or that is their official statement. and they both almost believe it. 
their friends are less convinced, tbh. because friends don’t sit in each other’s laps and cuddle or wear each other’s clothes or talk all day EVERY DAY. huh. or maybe they do. BUT ITS NOT WHAT THEY DO, OKAY?! its HOW they do it. Peter and MJ are everything to each other. they aren’t Peter or MJ. they’re Peter AND MJ. so there isn’t really room for romance in their lives because how could anyone compete with that friendship level? it all feels very How Harry Met Sally. 
or, um, IT WOULD FEEL LIKE THAT BUT THEY AREN’T GOING TO END UP WITH EACH OTHER. again, official statement. 
when they go away to college (Peter at MIT and MJ at Harvard) they spend loads of time together because their schools aren’t that far away. but because they aren’t in actual classes together not everyone who knows Peter and MJ know about the weird friendship soul mate thing they have going on. 
which is why Harry Osborn thinks its a great idea to ask MJ out. she’s smart, funny and beautiful and because he’s never met Peter, doesn’t even know who he is or who he is to MJ, it’s a no brainer. and MJ figures why not??? Harry’s smart, nice and she wouldn’t mind making out with his face.
once they’ve made a date, she immediately texts Peter and he’s REALLY excited!! because get it MJ. 
and when Ned comes to visit from Stanford for the weekend and MJ isn’t around Peter brows at Ned and tells him that MJ has a hot date. Ned nearly chokes and Peter is slapping his back, BREATHE friend, “Ned are you okay?” Ned sputters, “you’re cool with MJ going on a date?” Peter shrugs, “sure, why wouldn’t I be?” Ned rubs his temples, “I don’t understand you two.” 
after Ned leaves, MJ texts Peter about her date. he wants all the details, so he makes her drag her ass to his dorm so they can talk in person. they both get under his blankets when she arrives and MJ unloads all the deets. while snuggling. 
official statement. HELLO. 
mid-cuddle is when MJ asks, “I want him to meet you. double date?” peter shrugs, “sure. there’s this cute girl in my biochem class I could ask.” MJ reaches over his body and swipes some of the cookies on his bedside table. Peter’s dormmate absolutely hates whenever MJ sleeps over. weirdos. 
Peter asks Kitty Pryde out and she seems really excited that he asked. apparently he’s always so nose-deep in his phone that she was afraid to make a move. in case he was texting his girlfriend. Peter laughs a little too hard and tells her that he’s texting his best friend MJ, not his girlfriend. that’s ridiculous. 
they go on a few dates themselves, making sure that everyone is comfortable (Harry and MJ, Peter and Kitty) before they decide to ask their significant others to meet their best friend. not that Harry doesn’t know about Peter or Kitty about MJ. the two are ALWAYS talking about each other. and its weird the way they talk. its too close for comfort. but whenever Harry and Kitty try and ask they’re brushed off because LOL OFFICIAL STATEMENT. peter is used to saying, “i know how it sounds but we’re really just best friends. its insanely platonic.”
they decide that the double date is gonna be dinner and then a walk around town. Cambridge is a beautiful city in the fall. 
when they arrive at dinner, Peter and MJ hug really tight and immediately start talking. totally forgetting to do formal introductions. so Harry and Kitty stand there awkwardly until Harry touches MJ’s back and says gently, “babe, wanna introduce us?”
Peter flushes, “sorry man,” he extends his hand and shakes Harry’s, “I’m Peter. this is my girlfriend, Kitty.” Kitty waves. Harry smiles, tight, “I’m Harry.” MJ smirks at Kitty and points to herself, “MJ. great. intros done. dinner?” 
Peter lets out a belly laugh and guides MJ into the restaurant. leaving both Harry and Kitty in the dust. the two share a look like what have I gotten myself into?? 
when they sit down, Peter sits next to Kitty and MJ next to Harry. but Peter and MJ are across from each other. so they dominate the conversation. and half of the conversation is barely understandable because they have YEARS of inside jokes between them. and its not quite a romantic relationship but its closer than best friends should be. they tunnel vision when they’re together.
and that tunnel vision is isolating to their dates. 
when the waiter arrives, Kitty exhales like maybe now they will have caught up enough to let the rest of the table in on their conversation. instead, MJ orders Peter’s very specific order, ”steak, well done, like he wants it hockey puck hard and tasteless….and broc…no asparagus and mashed potatoes”. Peter grins and shrugs when the waiter looks to him to correct her, “nah, she’s right.” 
once the ordering is done, Harry speaks up, trying to get the table to talk TOGETHER, not just in pairs that are not their dates. it works slightly but, um, Peter and MJ still throw out inside jokes. 
when the food arrives Peter starts to steal some of MJ’s french fries and she swats at his hands. “you got mashed potatoes, loser.” “c’mon MJ,” he whines, “just one.” “it’s NEVER just one with you.” this conversation goes back and forth way too long to be comfortable. 
and when the check arrives after the WORST DATE IN HISTORY, the waiter rubs salt in the wound by telling Peter and MJ, “you two are really cute, by the way.” 
Harry slams his hands on the table and stands up, “that’s it,” all three sets of eyes snap to him, “I’m not gonna play second fiddle to your best friend, MJ. i’m out.” MJ blinks, confused, “excuse me?” “i’m not gonna try and compete with Peter,” he tosses some cash on the table, “thanks for the worst date ever.” 
Kitty slowly takes her wallet out and pushes some money toward Peter, “um, I’m going to have to go, too. I’d say this was fun but it really wasn’t.” 
and suddenly both Kitty and Harry are gone. Peter and MJ gawk at each other. because OFFICIAL STATEMENT. “what was that about??” MJ says bluntly. Peter shrugs, “no idea.” 
they pay the bill in silence and when they go outside, Peter offers MJ his jacket. she’s shivering. its a friendly friendship thing. hello. 
two months later, when Ned visits again he asks about her HOT DATE and MJ just shrugs and plops in Peter’s lap, “they got weird about Peter. no idea why.” Peter starts to run his fingers through the ends of her hair, “it was really dramatic on their end.” 
Ned deadpans, “oh yea. I bet.” 
he doesn’t even try to broach the topic with them because HE KNOWS THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT. whatever. they can be weird all on their own. he’s not gonna get involved.

Pornhub: Will Verge [XVG] be sidelined by Vice Industry Token [VIT]?
Things were not going to last stormy forever in the community of Verge [XVG] and Pornhub. When the news arrived, it was announced as the “biggest partnership in cryptocurrency history” teamed up with MindGeek and Pornhub.
MindGeek is the parent company of Pornhub and other fellow pornography websites such as Brazzers. Former Adult star, Stormy Daniels had promoted her partnership with the cryptocurrency and even starred in releasing a marketing video by Brazzers. VergeFam, a very passionate community of Verge predicted that MindGeek was leading.
Pornhub’s customers had the option to make payments in Verge [XVG] for the content, and the performers had the opportunity to get paid in XVG. The market had sewn up but had its fall in the process.
According to “VR Porn Pioneer” Anna Lee, the website is experimenting with Vice Industry Token [VIT]. She recently announced a “casting call” on Twitter for their first annual Pornhub Games hosted by Asa Akira. The top three performers will receive up to $10,000 USD equivalent of VIT.
Casting call | Source: Twitter
Anna Lee’s Tweet:
“CASTING CALL!: Now casting for female talent to compete in the 1st @Pornhub Games; hosted by @AsaAkira sponsored by @chaturbate Email: [email protected] to self submit for consideration.”
Al Solano replied to her tweet:
“What happened to that “partnership” with #Verge#XVG?”
Wolfie commented:
“Because what would you rather give away, a bar of gold or a brick of dogshit lol? Go go go $XVG!!! $VICE was obsoleted by @Mindgeek + $XVG, all they can do is donate it.”
Vice Industry Token, Inc is a cryptographic token and a decentralized blockchain platform. The token uses blockchain technology to change the monetization model existing in the adult industry. It also allows producers to monetize their work by rewarding viewers for watching their content.
Although the partnership between MindGeek and Pornhub is not exclusive, it is believed that Vice Industry Token will be the elite sponsor of the 2018 Pornhub awards. The cryptocurrency has already impressed its way into the industry.
In March 2018, Playboy Enterprises announced that they will be launching a wallet which will support digital payments, including VIT.
Stormy Daniels has added the option of VIT payment to her personal website. However, the marketing is managed by Darkreach Communications, which will use Vice Industry Token across their roster of sites. It is a marketing firm that holds and manages more than 20 adult-based websites, including StormyDaniels.com and KortneyKane.com.
Rob Murray, president of Darkreach Communications said:
“Deciding to incorporate cryptocurrency into my clients’ adult sites was a no brainer for me. With VIT, everyone is going to make money — from the users on my sites, to myself and the performers.”
He further added:
“The way the VIT blockchain works, we all get a piece of the token, and the guaranteed genuine data is the icing in the cake. We have been working extremely hard to ensure that when our platform launches we will have a large network of sites that accept our token to monetize users just for interacting with content.”
