Never do a shoey.
Daniel Riccardo x Podcast.host!reader
Summary- classic case of he fell first and also fell harder. So y/n is a popular podcast host known for interviewing/having really famous people on her podcast. She was reached out to by mclarens media team to have their two drivers on the podcast. The episode did really well and mclaren invited Y/n to join them that weekend for the Miami Grand Prix! Where she meets a fan of hers that she just so happens to be a fan of... what will happen? Will they get together for just the podcast? Or will there be more?
Warnings- suggestive implications, mention of 'love' marks/bites, alcohol
Stupid warnings- reader is in Florida (surprising i know), author is a dumbass and pretends she knows shit(she doesnt), American spelling, I never spell check, also has refs to some of my twt moots 🫶
F/c- various people on pintrest
A/n- So I had this idea for a minute but I didn't know who to do it with so I had my moots on Twitter help me (hi guys!!) So thank them for the DR3 fic!! (Also i got lazy with texts dont mind it) And as always: sorry if it's ooc and I hate everything I write lol
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
Y/n L/n a name that quickly rose to fame. She started to become famous on tiktok due to her 'face time' series. Talking about events in her life but acting as if the audience was a friend she was on face time with.
Y/n is known for her impressive conversation skills. She can hold and carry a conversation like it's breathing for her.
She had created a podcast as she rose to fame originally named 'facetime' which was scrapped after legal reasons. She changed the name to 'celeb seats' as she was able to secure an interview with YouTube and tiktok influencer 'Kallmekris'. She was able to continue this trend with having a celebrity on her podcast almost every episode-
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You closed the tab. They had just posted an article about you! You're a new type of famous now, the article was just a get to know you article. It was pretty accurate actually. It talked a bit how you rose to fame, then it talked about how you claimed that fame with your podcast 'celeb seats'.
The podcast you hosted was normally just you and one other guest, only a few times it was just you. Your guests were all celebrities, some more famous than others, some more liked than others.
But there is one main reason on why people enjoy your podcast: you're still a person. You don't act like your famous (whatever that means) and you prioritize your guest comfort over content. The main example is when you had YouTuber Markiplier on and had cut a large portion of it out. Him later talking on it saying something along the lines of 'she told me that she's going to cut that convo out. Cause I mentioned that I was iffy on people seeing it. She didn't ask she just said she was going to when I said I was iffy on it'. Him being a largely trusted person boosted your character and your popularity which widened your audience.
You were able to interview people from almost everywalk of life. Politics, actors, youtubers, streamers, tiktokers, voice actors, and even singers!

User6 WHAT DANIEL HUH?
View more
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You see the verified name pop up in your notifications. Clicking on the profile, daniel ricciardo, the name seems familiar, you then read a little: formula one driver. Huh, it was currently Saturday night. There was a race tomorrow you decided to give it a watch setting an alarm to wake you up for the race, you put down your phone and eventually drift off to sleep.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
Daniel arrived early the next day at the paddock signing a few things and walking in, with his classic smile on.
He stepped up in front of the camera as the truck drove around the track for the drivers parade.
"Hello Daniel Riccardo" the journalist greeted
"Hey" he smiled
"So today is a big race today" she said "your home race and all"
"Yeah, it's always exciting you know?" He chuckled waving to the crowd
"Of course" she smiled "well we actually only have a quick question for you today: I'm sure you've seen it but people are surprised you listen to the Celeb Seats Podcast. Care to add anything?"
"Oh yeah" he smiled "I've listen to that podcast I think since the first episode it's actually really entertaining. And I think Y/n is a great host and I'd love to be on it"
"Alright thank you Daniel" she said as he stepped off to the side. As Oscar was next to get interviewed
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
Your alarmed blaried in your ear. Turning it off you sat up and made your way to your living room and turned on the TV turning it to the EPSN channel. As you started making some coffee.
You sat on the couch as the race started sipping your coffee. You had to google some terms after they were said causing you to miss some overtakes. As the race wrapped up you turned off the TV and quickly went to YouTube and searched: formula 1 explained. Adding a few videos to a watch later playlist.
You quickly made yourself some breakfast before making your way to your office and settling down to start editing a video as well as finish the next episode of the podcast.
Deciding to take a break from editing you check your business email. Deleting the spam emails as well as the ones that were definitely scams. Before you glanced over a familiar orange logo you saw earlier that day. You clicked on the email:
Hello Y/n L/n
We hope this email finds you well. We have seen you podcast called "Celeb Seats" and we would love it if you were able to host our two drivers: Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. We know you're located out of Florida and we have a Grand Prix later this year (may 3-5) in Miami. We would love to be able to invite you actually!
Sincerely, the Mclaren media team.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You quickly typed out your own email that basically amounted to:
I would love too be able to host them! Thank you for the invite I accept!
After a few messages back and forth you were able to set a date to record with enough time so you could edit and post it before the grand prix.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You were adjusting the angle of one of the cameras as you heard a knock at the studio doors.
As you settled down after adjusting the mics in front of them.
"Okay," you said "Welcome to the Celeb Seats Podcast I'm your host Y/n. And today we are actually joined by two people" you motioned over to them "both formula one drivers for mclaren, Lando Norris" you motioned to him "and Oscar Piastri" you then motioned to him.
"Hey" Lando said
"Hello" Oscar smiled
"Okay so this is actually the first episode with two guests so let's see how it goes" you chuckled
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
After calming down from laughing "okay okay we" Lando motioned between him and Oscar "have a question for you"
"Shoot" you smiled
"Well you did mention earlier that you watch a little bit of formula one" he said as you nodded "well who is your favorite driver?"
"That's tough" you said "well hmm, I'd want to say Logan cause he's you know he's American" you chuckled "but I'd have to go with the other aussie, Daniel Riccardo. Sorry Oscar" you chuckled

Daniel was happy about another podcast episode dropping he put it on and started his work out. He was taking a break when he almost choked on his water. He was your favorite driver.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You were walking through the paddock making your way back to mclaren hospitality with Lando. You two walked side by side before Lando tapped your shoulder and said:
"Hey let me introduce you to some of the other drivers" Lando smiled innocently. There was nothing innocent about that smile.
"Hey Daniel" Lando waved to a man you recognized, Daniel Ricciardo, your favorite driver. Oh fuck you Lando you thought to yourself. Lando then motioned at you "This is Y/n L/n she's a guest for Mclaren this weekend" Daniel looks over at you, fuck he's kinda hot. "And y/n, this is Daniel-"
"-Riccardo yes I know Lando" you chuckled
"Wow I was just trying to be nice and introduce you two" he huffed, you just rolled your eyes and turned your attention to the tall Australian.
"Nice to meet you" you smiled "I don't know if you watch my podcast but I mentioned that you're my favorite driver"
He nodded quickly "yeah I'm actually a big fan of you podcast" he smiled "I've been watching it since episode 1"
"Wait that long?" You asked a bit shocked that he watches it
He smiled "yeah!" He said "I was actually listening to the most recent episode while working out and I almost choked on my water when you said I was your favorite" he said scratching the back of his head a little bit embarrassed
You laughed, he smiled.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒���─
Media day by passed way to fast. You wished you could spend more time with Daniel but he had practice the following days so sadly you couldn't.
Sunday
The race had began. Each lap passed the next one faster than the last. Next thing you knew you were celebrating with his team in the garage. Lando had just won the Miami grand prix, his first race win.

Lando had invited you out. In Miami. After his first win. You should have known how wasted youd get, too say the least. You and a small group of his friends went club hoping. The night was fuzzy, but everyone in that group drank their weight in alcohol and then some....
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You woke up with a killer headache making you remember the highlights of last night: the dancing, the clubs, and the fucking alcohol.
The room was plastered in darkness which you thanked the blackout curtains you invested in. You went to get up but couldn't. You were held down by something around your waist. Or someone.
The arms that were wrapped around your waist were strong. You tried to escape them again, which just made them tight around you and the man next to you burry his face in your back.
You thanked God that you were clothed, thankfully in your own pants but the shirt was definitely not yours.
The man let out a groan as he moved, you froze before closing your eyes and pretending to sleep. The grip around your waist loosened as you feel the man move slightly. Based on the movement he was on his back. He began to move again sitting up, you felt his body heat leave which left you a little colder.
You moved slightly as being frozen there was a bit uncomfortable. This movement in turn caused him to freeze:
"Did I wake you?" A familiar voice asked you. No fucking way.
"No" you said softly as you shook your head sitting up.
As your eyes adjusted to the darkness and you looked the man in the eyes your suspicions were confirmed: Daniel fucking Riccardo.
"Well good morning I guess" you said, if there was even a little bit of light in the room it would show you being beet red.
"Mornin' " he muttered in response "well uh" he said "fuck, what do we do know?" He asked
Which just caused you to start laughing
"What? What did I say?"
"No, nothing" you said "just funny"
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You stood in your bathroom as you looked in the mirror. Daniel offered you to shower and get new clothes on first (mostly so he could get that shirt back). As you stare at yourself in the mirror hand tracing the love bites and love marks that covered your body. Damn. You thought to yourself.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You awkwardly handed him his shirt after you exited the bathroom. He thanked you as he grabbed it and walked into the bathroom going to take a shower himself as he stilled smell of alcohol and the late night activities.
You walked into your kitchen not knowing what else to do you started making breakfast. It was pretty basic: toast, eggs, and some sausage.
Daniel exited the bathroom, his hair still a bit wet. He looked even hotter than before, how is that even possible. Shaking your head of those thoughts you slid a plate across the counter in front of him. You both ate in silence before he spoke up:
"Do you remember anything from last night?" He asked
You shook you head "I remember getting drunk but no I don't remember what your referring too" you said
"I don't either" he said softly munching on a peice of toast
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
After a little bit and a extreme amount of awkwardness Daniel left. It was weird you house almost felt empty now that he was gone.
It had been a few hours since Daniel left before you got a text:
??- hey this is Daniel, I asked Lando for your number I hope that's not weird
Yn- No it's not,
Daniel- good lol
Daniel- so I just wanna talk about last night real quick....
Yn- let's just not mention it again like ever
Daniel- agreed.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
After that awkward first string of text messages you actually started talking to Daniel. It started off with just some comments on his racing or one of his posts soon you were texting him almost everyday. Text turned to calls, some calls turned to facetimes.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
"Hey Danny" you smiled as you answered the face time placing your phone back on the counter facing you as you cooked.
"Hey y/n" he said, "what are you making today?" He asked
"Well I'm making this stir fry-" you started "wait what time is it for you?" You asked him
"Uhhh doesn't matter" he said the screen to your phone was almost completely black. You could only see bits of his face.
"Daniel" you said in a warning tone
"It's, 1am" he said muffling himself as he talked
"Daniel-" you started. "You litterly have a race tomorrow. Go to sleep"
"But-"
"Nope you need to sleep before the race"
He huffed "fine." You heard a little bit of shuffling before a quiet "goodbye"
"Good night danny" you said before grabbing your phone and hanging up the face time.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
"AND LEWIS HAMILTON WINS THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX-"
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
After the celebration you got up and texted Daniel:
Yn- tell yuki I said congrats on points!
Danny- I get no congrats... 🥺
Yn- maybe if you went to sleep earlier youd be in points and you'd get a congrats too
Danny- :(
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
"Danny isn't it like past midnight over there or something?" You asked, you two were currently facetiming eachother again, while you worked on editing the next episode of your podcast.
"Yeah" he yawned "but I like talking to you" he said groggily
A notification popped up on your phone as soon as you looked over, "what the fuck?" You said
"Hmmm?" Danny asked
"Carlos just signed to Williams"
"What" he asked "he what? Williams" you heard some shuffling as he checked his phone looking through Twitter. "Damn" he chuckled "glad I was up to witness this with you"
"Youre just trying to get out of me scolding you" you chuckled
"...maybe" he smiled "well hey if I was over there I wouldn't have to stay up" he said sleepily
"You just want to be on the podcast huh?" You joked
"Maybe" he smiled "come on let me be on it"
You smiled "okay okay" you chuckled "I actually have recorded a bunch of episodes for over your summer break so, you can come over anytime"
"Really?" He asked hopefully
"Yes Danny" you said as you went back to editing. "Just schedule a flight and let me know how long you want to be here"
"What if I wanted to be there the rest of the summer break?" He asked
You freeze a bit in surprise but before he could say something you spoke "I wouldn't be apposed"
He smiled as he hummed softly. Soon you heard soft snores coming from your phone.
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You heard a knock at your door. You walked over and opened the door a large smile on your face. As you opened the door to: Daniel Riccardo.
"Hey Danny" you smiled letting him inside
"Hey" he smiled walking inside nodding a quick thank you.
"Here let me show ya to the guest room" you smiled shutting the door behind him

"Okay" you said adjusting the mic arm in front of you as you sat down. Clearing your throat you start:
"Welcome to the Celeb Seats Podcast I'm your host Y/n, and to day I am joined by: DANIEL RICCARDOOOOOOO" you smiled
"Y/nnnn L/nnnnnnn" he said back
You chuckled "it's great to finally have you on"
"Great to be here" he smiled "sad I can't say that I'm the first f1 driver on the pod"
"But you can definitely say your the favorite" you chuckled
"True" he smiled
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
"Okay okay" you said as you breathed stomach hurting from laughing, you turned to the camera "Thank you for joining us for this episode of Celeb Seats! We'll see you later!"
You got up and stopped the recording on the cameras as well as the mics. "So what ya wanna do?" You asked Daniel as you packed up the camera
"Well I don't know what you have around here" he shrugged "you have anything in mind?" He asked
You smiled "You don't mine if we go on a bit on a trip before we get there right?" You asked
He shrugged "I think I'd live" he chuckled
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
As you pulled into the small dirt parking lot Daniel looked at the tall trees that surround it.
"Welcome to Highlands Hammock" you said "we don't really have mountains or the like for hiking trails but we have these cypress boardwalks" you smiled as you both got out of the car.
You two slowly walked the boardwalk, you pointed out the different types of trees, some animals and other plants.
"I love cypress swamps" you smiled "they're so beautiful" you chuckled
Daniel who was right behind you whispered "yeah beautiful" as he looked at you
"Hmm what did ya say?" You asked turning to face him
"Oh nothing don't worry" he smiled
──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──
You kinda forgot when you got here but you both ended up at a small park next to a lake. Sitting on a small bench as you watch the sun set across the lake and eating ice cream.
"This was nice" Daniel said
"Yeah" you smiled looking up at him
He looked back at you. You stare into eachothers eyes.
"I wouldn't mind spending all of summer break like this, with you" Danny said
"I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with you" you said
With that you leaned into eachother, lips touching you melted into the kiss. His lips were slightly rough but the kiss was gentle. He placed his hand on the side of your neck just under your jaw.
The kiss broke.
"God I've been wanting to do that for so long" he said
You chuckled "me too"
"So can I call you mine now?" he asked
"Yes you can, but I will never do a shoey" you said
Causing him to laugh before pulling you into another kiss.
You did in fact ended up doing a shoey. It was fucking disgusting. Never do a shoey.
Fin.

Honeymoon in Hawaii
Fluff and Smut (Adventure, hiking, surfing, bikini, deep penetration, anal, cream pie, ahegao, sloppy sex, outdoor sex )
Chapter 212
2,953 Words
(Honeymoon adventures with Jihyo and OC. Jihyo and OC have messy sex.)
After having your morning session, you and Jihyo make your way to the first destination, Stairway to Heaven.
It has been Jihyo’s dream to hike the trail since she learned about it a few years back. With her wedding in Hawaii, she wanted to make that dream come true. “Babe, I’m so excited. I am looking forward to doing this hike.”
“Haha, you’ve said that about a hundred times. It’s good that it’s just both of us, or else we wouldn’t make it.”
“Yeah, I know. You’re the only one that can keep up.”
“No, I just let you lead,” giving her a smirk. She looks at you, smirking, and slaps your leg, “Hey, that’s mean.”
The two of you arrive at the trail entrance and gather your belongings, a light backpack, each with snacks, water, an emergency kit, and extra clothes. You make your way to the travel and start to hike for a mile before you reach the base of the mountain.
“Wow, that’s really high.” Jihyo smacks you on the arm and says, “Come on. If we don’t hurry, we won’t get some good shots. “Okay! Coming!” as you see Jihyo picking up the pace.
With your GoPro on, the both of you record as you make your way up the slippery trail. “Alright, babe, let’s take a small break,” says Jihyo.
You’re almost two hours in, and the both of you are making good time. The hike up the mountain is about six hours, but you might be able to make it to five at your pace.
After a small break, you begin to climb again, and without realizing the scenery of the surrounding mountains starts to show from the fog. “Look, you can see much better” Jihyo points at the closest mountain. You peek and see the steep drop, which makes you a bit worried for Jihyo’s safety. “Alight, that’s enough looking,” you grab onto Jihyo’s hand and keep her from getting too close to the edge. “Oppa, don’t tell me you’re scared.”
“I’m not scared; it’s you I’m worried about. I don’t want you to slip and fall off.”
“Haha, I’m careful, but I’ll try not to get too close anymore.”
With only the last leg of the trial remaining, you hike up the mountain. The higher you go, the better the view until you reach a wall. You see a long rope and footprints on the wall from the number of other hikers and decide to give it a go.
“So you want me to go, or do you want to give it a try?”
“Hmm… I want to try,” as Jihyo grabs the rope and wraps it around her arm for support. She places her right foot, then her left, and climbs slowly. Midway through the climb, her foot slips, causing her to yelp suddenly. “Want me to give you a boost?”
“No, I can do it. Let me just get a better footing.” She finds a crack in between the boulder and makes it all the way to the top. “See, I did it. Here!” throwing the rope to you.
You grab the rope, wrap it around your arm, and make it to the top with little effort.
“Alright, just a bit more, right?”
“Yeah, excited?”
“Of course, I’ve been waiting to come here for a while; too bad we can’t go the other way.”
“Yeah… no one is allowed, but some still do it. It’s a nice view but not worth the risk.”
“I heard it’s an easier climb.”
“Yeah, I saw a couple of YouTube videos, and it’s way easier.”
Jihyo and you hike for another thirty minutes until you reach a radio station, signaling the end of the hike.
“Wow, it’s beautiful,” Jihyo takes in the view. She points towards the ocean, the cars passing through the highway, and the small buildings in the city.
You can't help but take your phone out and snap a picture of Jihyo’s expression. You’re in awe of how beautiful she is and how your wife looks. She turns around and notices your camera, “Let me do a pose,” and holds a peace sign and squints her eyes. She does other poses and grabs your phone. She snaps multiple pictures of you with the great view as the background until you pull her to you. “Let’s get one of us together.”
Jihyo gets on one of the rails, wraps her arms around your neck, and gives you a kiss on the cheek. She grabs her GoPro and holds the gimbal's end to record her surroundings. Jihyo goes down the stairs to get a better background, making you laugh as you find it cute of her being a blogger.
After ending your photo session, Jihyo, you sit and admire the view. It’s completely silent; no words are needed to express your feelings. You’ve made an excellent decision to marry your best friend and the mother of your child. You look at her, staring at the blue ocean, and pull her in for a kiss.
The climb down is much easier, and it takes only an hour. Once you arrive at your car, the both of you are a complete mess, boots and legs full of mud. You grab a jug of water, wash each other’s legs, and change into sandals and new shorts. Jihyo takes off her top and tosses it in the back of the car, leaving her with a sports bra. “Come, babe, take that shirt off. I want to see your abs.”
You arrive back at the house and take a quick shower before having brunch. The both of you sit on the back patio and enjoy the view of the ocean in front of the house. While Jihyo cleans up, you head to the backyard and set up the large hammock between two trees.
“Want to take a small nap?”
“But we just ate.”
“Ahh, don’t worry about the small details. Come on, join me.” you grab her hand.
“Okay,” and climbs into the hanging hammock.
“What do you think? Comfortable, right?”
“Yeah, not too tight. I like it.”
“Maybe we should have one back home.”
Jihyo shoves her face into your chest and slowly drifts away after a tiring morning. You watch as Jihyo falls asleep and caress her hair before falling asleep as well.
Three hours later, you wake up from your nap and notice Jihyo gone. You search around and see a small sitting by the shore.
“Hey, you left. What’s up?”
“Woke up earlier than you and didn’t want to wake you up. You look cute when you sleep.” You can’t hide your embarrassment from Jihyo and pick her up, placing her on your shoulder.
“Wait! Where are you taking me?”
“You said you wanted to have fun, right?”
“Yeah, but what are we doing?”
“We’re going surfing. There’s a pair of boards in the back.”
“Really? We’re going to surf?”
“Yeah, I asked Nayeon to pack your swimming suit before we left.”
“Yay!”
With the two of you in your swimsuits and board in hand, you head to the water. Jihyo is the first one to run into the water, “Come on, slowpoke!”
“Alright, alright, I’m coming.”
Sitting on the board, you listen to Jihyo’s plan as you float in open waters. The first wave comes, and you watch her try to ride the wave but falls. She swims back to where you are and tries again, this time staying longer on the board. Time after time, she comes back with lots of energy and tells you her mistake and how she is going to do better. She gives you a couple of pointers before you head out to catch a wave.
After a couple of times, you come back completely wet from falling so much. “Haha, finally something I’m better at.” She mocks you and comforts you on trying your best after getting her fill.
“Okay, let’s try again. I think I can do it better this time.”
“Hmm? Are you challenging me, Oppa?”
“I guess I am.”
“Okay, loser does whatever the winner wants.”
You hesitate for a bit and see Jihyo’s smirk tease you. “That’s a bet,” and the both of you shake hands.
You and Jihyo spend two hours surfing but also take a few breaks here and there. It’s sunset, and you two are enjoying the sun setting down behind the ocean.
With your boards side by side, you two hold hands. “We’re finally husband and wife. I can’t believe it. It’s finally hitting me.”
“Haha, it hit me too when I saw you walking down the aisle; you looked beautiful. I think I’m the happiest man in the world right now.”
She can’t help but laugh at your comment, “Okay, okay, we get it. You don’t have to get all sentimental here.”
Eventually, you both return to shore and head towards the small outdoor shower to clean your board and rinse yourself. Jihyo removes her swimsuit as she tries to get the sand off, revealing her bikini. You do the same but can’t and stare at her tanned body.
Jihyo then takes off her top, which reveals her perfect breast, “Fuck…” She doesn’t notice you coming up behind her until she feels your lips on the back of her nape. “Babe, that tickles,” as she squirms around. You slowly move your hands on her ass, aim for the piece of string holding her bikini, and pull on it. Unaware that her bottom is undone because of your kissing, you pull down your shorts and give Jihyo a nice smack on the ass.
“Ahh…”
You pretend to lose your balance and press your body against hers. She places her hands on the wall to keep herself from falling, “You’re heavy, babe. Get off.” With your semi-hard cock in hand, you slowly align yourself to Jihyo’s entrance. She doesn’t notice what you are about to do since you keep her distracted by kissing her nape. When she does feel your hot cock’s head poking at the entrance of her slit, she lifts her butt.
With her permission, you grab onto her waist and penetrate her cunt. You don’t feel much resistance since you warmed her up a bit with all the kissing and reached her deepest parts in no time. “Mmhh… ahh fuck!” You give her little time for adjustment and begin to thrust at a fast pace. Jihyo immediately starts to moan loudly since it is just the both of you around, “Ahh… yes! That feels so good! Fuck… you’re so deep inside my pussy!”
Knowing she is enjoying it, you increase the pace and press her against the shower wall. You pull most of your cock out and immediately shove it back inside, causing Jihyo to grunt. “Omg! Your cock is hitting my womb! Keep fucking me just like that,” as she moves her right hand to her cunt and starts to masturbate. She rubs her lips at a rapid pace, aiming for her orgasm. It doesn’t take long for her to reach it, and she is the first to cum. Her legs shake as she orgasms and sprays the floor with her love juice.
You don’t slow down or stop fucking her as she rides her orgasm but instead increase the pace. This makes all her senses go into overdrive, and she loses her balance in the process. After her orgasm dissipates, you pull out your cock and see her get away from the wall and move to the other side of the shower to get a hold on something firm to keep herself from falling, but you have other plans.
You can’t but want to get back at her from earlier today. So grab Jihyo’s hand and say, “babe, one more, please,” giving her a puppy dog eyes. She looks at you exhausted but nods and places her hands against the shower window. She positions herself and spreads her legs to give you better access to her mess of a cunt. You have other plans, though, and get your cock ready. “Remember our promise, right? The loser does whatever the winner wants.” It takes her a bit to get her thoughts together, but when she does, it's too late. You align yourself to her entrance and press the tip against it. It is then when she realizes what you’re about to do, “Wait… babe… that’s the wrong…” doesn’t finish her sentence as she feels the tip of your cock against her puckerhole.
You push your cock in slowly, and you’re met with some resistance as her walls try to push you back out. “Relax, babe. Just a bit more.” Jihyo turns around and sees your puppy dog eyes, and accepts your cock inside her ass. After that, her walls loosen, which makes it a bit easier for your cock. You press forward and insert more of your cock inside of Jihyo’s ass.
Jihyo bites her lips as she feels her ass being split wide open by your cock. She’s always had a harder time with anal and has only done it less than a handful of times, and every time is the same. She would rather keep going a few more rounds with her cunt and remembers the number of times you have asked her for anal. She wants to keep her promise, accepts the temporary pain, and relaxes her body.
With your right hand on your cock and the left on Jihyo’s waist, you penetrate Jihyo’s tight ass. You can feel Jihyo’s body relaxing, which allows you to shove more of your cock inside of it. Jihyo moans and grunts aloud as she takes an inch at a time, “Fuck! Your cock is too big! It’s going to destroy my ass, fuck!”
Not wanting to make her suffer more than she has to, you decide to get it over in one go. You press her against the wall once more, grab onto her waist, and give it one final thrust. Jihyo opens her eyes wide open when she feels your whole length inside her ass in one go. Her walls tighten even more around your cock, and give her a chance to adjust to your length. Jihyo can feel the hottest of your throbbing cock inside of her. “Fuck… you’re so tight,” as you try to move. After getting her approval, you begin to thrust, increasing the pace little by little. It goes from a sharp pain to slight pleasure as she feels her insides getting rearranged.
You place your hand against her lower lips and finger her cunt to make it easier. This helps a little bit and makes it more pleasurable for her. You then pick up the pace and give a couple of hard thrusts, and can feel your cock from the other side. You feel the bulge of your cock inside her ass with every thrust. It turns you on to see her bulging belly every time you press your cock against it.
Little by little, Jihyo gets used to your cock inside of her puckerhole and begins to enjoy it. She can't help but touch the bulge in her belly every time it pokes out and finds it kind of hot. “Ahh… ba babe… you really want to mess me up like chaeyoung, huh.”
“Yes, I want your ass to give itself to me. I want to teach every inch of your body that it belongs to me,” and decide to pick her up. Jihyo is surprised and gasps when she’s placed in a reverse stand-and-carry position.
Now the both of you can see your cock creating a big bulge in her belly as if she’s pregnant once more. “Fuck… you're reaching all the way to my deepest part!” You can feel your cock throbbing and begin to fuck her ass while being carried.
Jihyo moans as she’s carried in the air and enjoys getting railed in the ass. Every time your tip reaches the deepest part, it feels like ecstasy. Little by little, she gives in to the pleasure until she is a complete mess. She doesn’t realize her mind is fading away, and her body is riding on pure ecstasy.
You give it a couple of thrusts before your orgasm reaches its peak. You see Jihyo’s face ruined by pleasure and say, “Babe, I’m about to cum” but there is no response, just random mumbling, indecipherable words. You ask, “Want me to cum inside?” She tries to come up with the words but can’t and just nods. “Okay, if you really want me to cum, then hold the peace sign.”
Jihyo, with her remaining consciousness, holds the peace sign as you face her towards the mirror by the corner of the shower. You lift her up, only leave a head of your cock, wait a few seconds and drop her whole weight on your cock. Jihyo’s body immediately reacts, making her squirt all over the mirror as you drown her ass with your biggest load. The expression on her face is priceless as she does a messy ahegao expression while holding the peace signs. Her body loses all its energy and becomes limp and letting go of your cock, only leaving a gaping hole.
After the messy session, you return to your room and let her rest. She cleans herself with your assistance by taking a proper shower before going to bed. Tomorrow, you both will wake up sore from being busy the whole day, Jihyo especially.

☁️Keepy up's| George Clarke fluff
[you've been invited to shoot a football challenge for George's YouTube with Chrismd/Arthur hill/Arthurtv, you have no idea what the video idea is apart from kicking a ball, which you're useless at; apart from some challenge you manage to upstage the boys at]
It's 9am and you all arrive at the football pitch to begin filming, the boys all dressed in football attire whilst you attend in grey joggers, a gym jacket and some pink football boots. The idea of the video is to try score a goal with a different body part ranging from head-foot and everything in between.
"Today we're going to be trying to score a goal using a different part of our bodies, ranging from our head to our toes, no pun intended, but today instead of it being just me and the boys, I've fetched my girlfriend y/n along to see if she can not only boost my views, but maybe score a few goals too" you roll your eyes as George makes his video introduction, already regretting the decision to say yes. George goes first, first up headers, the first one to score inevitably makes everyone move to the next body part.
"First we're starting with headers, first one to score a goal means we all move onto the next body part"
George misses his shot, Chris next, he musters up the strength and manages to score just narrowly missing the crossbar into the top left corner
"Yeahhhh!!" The boys all shout in unison, chasing Chris round the pitch in celebration
"Next up we have the chest, this means we will try land a clean shot onto our chest, for it to drop to our feet and kick from there"
"Right well surely y/n has to score this she's got an advantage!" Chris says hinting at your boobs being extra padding. "Is that why you scored the first one then because of all the forehead padding?" You hit back at him, you make your way up to take the first shot as George throws it towards you, you bounce it off your chest in perfect timing and send it down to your feet with good connection, but not good enough as it just skims over the crossbar. Next up George, you throw it into your boyfriend landing it perfect onto his chest, he bounces it off and smashes it into the back of the net.
"See I'm clearly not the only one with advantage padding!" You gesture to Chris as he shakes his head and laughs at you
"Next we have probably the worst place for me and the lads as we move to the crotch area, thankfully we have covers to out over our Crown Jewels to avoid injury"
Arthur Hill goes first, but the kickback is too powerful and knocks him to the ground "mate I can't do that, that's harsh on the boys" Arthur whines clutching his crotch in pain, George goes, same scenario and the same with Chris and Arthurtv.
"Looks like it's just y/n to go now, good luck love" George says as you have 0 hope that this is going to go easy. The ball is thrown to you as you bounce it off your crotch area with no pain whatsoever, bouncing it onto your feet and smashing it into the top corner with no struggle. The boys rally round you as you don't believe your eyes, you scored!
"Now that's what you call pussy power!" Arthurtv hollers as they all lift you up in celebration whilst also laughing at the fact Arthur just said that.
"Last but not least we have feet, we're going to do bicycle kicks for this one, we have two mats on the floor where we're going to jump and try to kick it overhead into the goal"
Seen as it's the last one you all see how many you can do, Chris goes first and manages to score 3. George 2, Hill 1 and Tv 2
"I'm surprised you can reach with your small chicken legs!" You say to Chris "right let's see how many you can do short arse" he says back to you, you walk to the mats and get in position, knees bent for extra balance yet the boys didn't know you used to do gymnastics as a child, you amp up the courage as the first ball is shot to you, throwing yourself back you get great connection with the ball and sending it through the middle of the net, scoring your first. The boys jaw drop as you score another 2 in a row, taking you tied with Chris.
"Wanna make a bet Chris?" You offer "sure what is it" he answers back "if I can score 3 more in a row with no misses, you owe me £500, if I miss one, I owe you £500" the boys all turn to Chris to see what he's going to say. "You're on" he says coming to shake your hand.
"Easiest £500 I'll ever make" you mutter under your breath, another ball shot towards you and another one scored, 1 more short towards you and you score again.
"Jesus Christ she might actually do it" George says as you look at him with menace in your eyes, ready for the next ball to be sent over. The ball shoots towards you and you kick back once again, the connection a little off this time, you catch it with the tip of your boot as it slots itself into the corner left pocket. You drop to the mats as all the boys come clambering onto you, making a pile on in celebration.
"No fucking way she's just shown you up Chris" TV Scoffs, you emerge from the pile and shake Chris' hand. "Night out on me I guess then" you say to everyone as Chris transfers you the money you bet. You begin to pack up the gear to go home, you finish around 2pm.
"See I knew it'd be good fetching you along, you've had fun right?" George asks pull you in for a hug "yeah I have, thanks for inviting me" you say pressing into his chest, he plants a kiss on top of your forehead.
"No problem baby, I'm glad you've had fun"

Why I don't expect promotion for Muse to be similar to RPWP or Golden...
...or any other release before that.
Smeraldo Garden Marching Band is doing well for not having it's artist available. In fact it is outstanding. There were many other prominent artists who released music on the same day and are currently hitting up the interview circuit and other promotional activities. Our boy debuts at #4 on Global Spotify and he's somewhere on a military base.
See the post here.
That is pretty outstanding for not having the artist available to promote. Name another artist in which this has happened.
Perhaps a dead one... let's just not go there.
"But the Youtube views are low..."
I think since the popularity of Tiktok, the use of YouTube and therefore its influence has diminished somewhat. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be more views. We all know the challenges we have with YouTube. We just have to do the best we can with using YouTube.
Help boost views. Watch the MV here.
"But Right Place Wrong Person was heavily promoted..."
Namjoon was all over his own IG often, almost every day for a while, along with the staff he appointed to post on the @rpwprpwprpwp Instagram account. Perhaps this created a perception that RPWP had some heavy promotion when he was doing all that himself and it was keeping it in front of us so consistently.
The BigHit instagram chat channel is being used for Muse and has been very engaging. It is convenient for Jimin in case he is able and does repost or create a story with any of that content.
I've seen a lot of buzz in the media on both sides of the Pacific regarding SGMB and Muse. That means BigHit sent out press kits. I saw at least one radio group posting they had the song and it was ready to include in their rotations. We'll see if they actually follow through. But that means BigHit sent it to radio.
"Jimin and the members need to post about it..."
It is more of a challenge for Jimin and Jungkook to be online because of the location of their base. If it is in the mountains as was mentioned earlier this year, their internet connection may not be as reliable or strong enough to allow much use. Soldiers may also be restricted as to if they can even use it if the base itself needs it for military operations or if its encrypted for security or whatever myriad of reasons why they can't access it.
If they had reliable internet service where they are, we'd be seeing JK on TikTok more often. But... perhaps TikTok is one of those apps that they are discouraged from using as it is China-based and why JK created the Instagram account for Bam.
Perhaps they are free to do what they want only when OFF base and out of the area during their days off. We don't know what their restrictions are.
People just have to come down to earth and think. Jimin is in the military. I'm most certain that Jimin is being Jimin and focused on his duties. He is wearing fatigues and a helmet and going out everyday doing drills and training including firing ammunition out of a big ass piece of warfare equipment. He is listening to reports from his commanders about what is going on regarding North Korea and what his base will be expected to do if anything should escalate. He should be focused on his duties not focused on what is happening out here.
It is Saturday. Not sure what their alert status might be on a weekend. But we have to be cognizant that JM and JK are the closest to the DMZ of any of the members and will be activated first should anything occur.
I am constantly thinking about how every time we hear of nonsense from NK that JM and JK have to hear it every day too and any contingency they will be ready for in case anythng happens.
NK fired missiles the other day. Yesterday maybe? Some sort of rocket that can launch multiple missiles in one shot. It's chilling. Now imagine you are mere miles from the border and must react with your own weapons of mass destruction should anything become more aggressive.
Jimin worked and created, then he left it for us while he is doing his duty. I'm never going to expect him to do anything else until he is discharged. Unless he is able and wants to. Otherwise I want him doing what he feels he needs to do in order to get through this for himself and Jungkook.
I am very, very happy Namjoon was able to and wanted to participate in his own album's release as much as he was able. But some people have the same expectation that Jimin should too.
I'm never going to expect it from Jimin.
"The company is not doing enough..."
Surely everyone knows this is not a big long vacation for them. It may be a break from their careers and their real personal lives but its not a vacation by any means.
They keep saying its not easy. Perhaps they mean its not easy sitting in a military base carrying out a routine day in day out.
Or perhaps they say its not easy because they are on constant alert. They cannot give any details because their locations and their activities are classified information. Surely, surely, people can realize that right?
See? My brain is always thinking I just don't say a lot of what it comes up with. Because it serves no purpose to talk about it except to create worry. Just like people screaming at the company, it creates stress and negativity.
There is only so much public facing promoting the company can achieve especially when its been planned with the artist's involvement. Since I don't know (and neither does anyone else) what the entire promotion plan is, how can anyone speak on the promotion plan? Just because another member's release was handled a certain way does that mean it should be done the same for all? Not necessarily.
Stationhead listening party schedule:
This is an ad I just saw from BigHit.
Yes, this is an ad and not a repost, I've seen it twice already and it is not on the @BTS_bighit accounts feed:
These are posts promoting SGMB on streaming platforms:
Of course, if you use any playlists on streaming platforms, check the songs on the list and turn off/delete the ones you don't want to stream. Or create your own playlists.
The people printing their own posters, putting them up in public and asking for them to be displayed is WONDERFUL! THAT is the energy Army are known for!
Also the UK issue with the random inclusion making it disqualified. A fix may or may not be in the works. Constant screaming to the company won't make it happen faster or at all if it can't be done logistically. All screaming does is make everyone feel bad, including Jimin if he sees it.
@OfficialCharts is UK based and posted about Jimin and SGMB:
But since people began screaming since day one, every time another step in the promotion process occurs, screamers will take credit for it and vehemently scream it only happened because they were screaming when the reality is, no one knows whats on the promotion schedule.
Those of you telling people not to buy the album now but to wait and buy it when it releases? THAT IS USEFUL AND PRODUCTIVE INFORMATION!
We, as Army, know how, what and when to buy in order to impact the charts. I know you didn't forget any of that. So stop screaming and do something productive like tell people how to work around this apparent obstacle until it is fixed or in case it never gets fixed.
The screaming at BigHit to do their job is not productive or useful at all in helping Jimin at this point. It only displays negativity and lowers morale for those who don't know what to do.
We are a month away from the album's release for god's sakes, the pre-promotions are paced to keep interest.
They can't all be thrown out all at one time.
Whatever comes out as pre-promotions will be things that were planned in advance and not knee jerk reactions to the screamers.
"If we don't say anything, things will never change for Jimin."
That is your perception. Jimin is very much in control of his own life and career. He can change anything he wants to. Feel free to scream about it, I know its different strokes for different folks. But constantly screaming and trending it surrounds Jimin's activities with stress and negativity. I know you know how to communicate your concerns to the company discreetly. And we know they see our communications because they ask us for help to identify those who are carrying out slanderous and illegal activities against our guys.
If you want to help, communicate to the rest of the fandom the steps they can take to actually help increase streams, views and sales.
Even if the company plasters posters everywhere, WE, THE FANS, are still the ones who do the streaming, buying, viewing and supporting. Its in our hands now. We know what to do!
After all is said and done, I trust Jimin. He's in control of his life.
And he has Jungkook with him. That's the smartest fucking thing ever.
Please go stream it now on your preferred streaming platform.
Please go share some of the various positive news media stories out there on your socials.
#jimin x muse#calm down#don't be counterproductive#why are there always 42 crises going on at once?#i know that mantis and i will never be on the same page#but i dont have to listen to the screaming either#we all have choices to act on#please let me know what you consider 'proper' promotion#lets talk about it

Hey!! So turns out a video I made between a certain “well beloved but highly sensitive/emotionally reactive T.V” and an “orange haired inkling-turned-human” has managed to sweep my YouTube channel and accumulate 100k VIEWS!! THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY?? My most widely viewed video EVER to exist in this moment in time?? AAAAA?? Not even mentioning the various comments and staggering increase in subs! It’s so much more then what I expected or even prepared for—might even be the most impactful thing to happen for me this year <3
…aside from graduating high school + the social connections I’ve been fortunate to make lol
BUT THE POINT IS I’d been closely monitoring the YouTube growth through the entirety of October. It’s make me smile like a dork, gawk in astonishment, dance frantically in my room from the energy boosts, and grow courage to stop being so selective/self-conscious with what I wish to share with the world! It’s kept my ambitions going!
I needed to find some way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanks—because I can’t NOT acknowledge this milestone jksjskp. Typically I try to avoid getting tunnel visioned focusing on the metrics/numbers. Mr. Puzzles had already demonstrated how much those things can mess with the minds of creatives. Caring too much about chasing views or placing your artistic value in attention seeking gets damaging. But at same time…it’s hard to deny the sense of pride the 100k achievement has filled me with. I understand that reaching 100k views doesn’t immediately make me any “better” or “worse” then I was before. I’m still just me! It only helps me feel seen by others—and that’s all I really needed. To hear some nice words & receive reminders that my ideas are cared about. So thank you SMG4 fandom for that, seriously thank you.
Please accept this Mr. Puzzle drawing as a way of sharing the happiness around. He’s so entertaining. Love him for simply existing. So glad we can all collectively be super attached to him (and the rest of the SMG4 cast of course). Can’t wait to see more incredible artworks from the fandom :)
Just incase anyone is confused by my vague description over which “animated video” I’m referring to here—hopefully this photo will help clarify lol. It’s this one!! Sorry about not outright stating the title at the start, I got carried away with writing!!
I’ve been in an odd place mentally when thinking about it. Wondering to myself if any of the attention is deserved considering it’s not even fully colored and could be dismissed as “low effort” content (despite taking several days making it). It’s easy to get into a trap of comparing yourself to others and questioning how much of the videos success is based on your skills, sheer algorithm luck, or only because you used popular characters and catered to a specific fandom. And then judging yourself by looking at other peoples videos. I’ve seen several artists post higher quality works then my own but it somehow gets less views. So why did mine succeed when others (who should have gotten just as much attention if not more) didn’t? Sometimes you feel like you’ve unfairly robbed them of that chance to be seen. However I’ve realized that I can’t ever expect views to be consistent—and comparing is pointless. So why worry about it or feel inadequate? I mean it’s pretty common for funny cat videos to go viral, so who am I to question the system lol. “Popular” YouTube videos can range from a passion project which took 7+ artists…to a clip of Toad singing Chandelier or a nonsensical Vine sketch. Anything can happen when it’s the internet! And just-so-happened my video was chosen. I should stay glad about that and get rid of all the overanalyzing. So that’s what I’ve chosen to do :)
#OKAY SO SO SO actually started doodling this once the video was around 98k this morning#it wasn’t even meant to be art specifically designed to celebrate the milestone at first#I just wanted to draw the funky fella who makes me laugh#but as you can see that changed up fast jksjksp#I was under the impression that my video wouldn’t reach near 100k until December UH?? WHAT HAPPENED MY PREDICTION THWARTED??#seems I’ve severally underestimated how long the traction would continue for geez wow uh#people sure do enjoy comedy gotta love ‘em laughs and giggles#I CAN’T BELIEVE WE REACHED IT THO. THAT’S INSANE TO ME—ALL THE SUPPORT AND COMMENTS AND SUBS#thank you SMG4 fandom I would’ve never fathomed the algorithm to carry it so far like this#you wanna know the real kicker?#things would have gone so differently for the channel if I didn’t wrestle with my anxiety & post there#because there was a point during that day where I fullheartedly figured it would cause me to loose subs#I was kinda terrified ngl#this goes to show that you should never hold yourself back from sharing different aspects of your interests#you don’t need to confine yourself to just one thing#or to strive only to make the most high quality videos ever (I put that pressure on myself a bit too much nowadays)#sometimes it’s the simple ideas that manage to charm people#and those who see the effort will stick around to support you. You just need to trust yourself during the process and take that chance :)#EWWWW MUSHY GUSHY SENTIMENTALITY CLOGGING UP THE ATTENTION HERE#whatever happened to keeping the focus on ✨the star✨ who made it all possible to begin with huuuu??#show a bit more gratitude to the charming TV who boosted the viewership in the first place…don’t be so self absorbed with morals lonesome 😒#what is this some sort of My Little Pony episode oh pleaseeeeee 🙄#<- all of that was a simulation of Puzzles interjecting and nagging a bit lol. I’d imagine he’s tried of my nonstop nonsense#….yea the Puzzle brainrot is reaching maximum severities. So there’s high chance I’ll be animating him more down the line :3#stick around to find out!!#hplonesome art

What type of twitch streamers would the svsss characters be?
i think i've said before i don't think most of the characters would be twitch streamers, most of them aren't the right type of attention-seeking for that kind of thing.
i'm currently watching trackmania videos and i think shen yuan is the right kind of insane for that. by far his most popular streams, though, would be his ban review streams where he shreds people to filth over their unban requests.
binghe has the potential for the streamer's temperament, though it honestly depends on how i interpret him, but i'm not sure what games he'd play. cozy games are the pidw option -- everything the viewers want, an incredibly beautiful man in eyeliner and a v-neck playing cute little farming games or whatever, but incredibly hollow in terms of binghe's enjoyment in them i think. he might like soulsborne games, or he might do cooking streams, but i think he'd probably enjoy something with pvp the most. he spends multiple days trying to speedrun a trackmania map sy holds a record on to get his attention.
sha hualing is the only bitch here with the true twitch streamer's temperament. she's clever, calculating, and driven in addition to being gorgeous. she strikes me as someone unafraid to play the role of the exact kind of streamer twitchbros get reaaaally mad about: ditzy, cute, lowcut tops and short skirts, shallow view farming material where she just watches tiktok/youtube/other twitch streams and comments on them. a lot of people hate her because she's shallow coomer-bait, but you don't hit it big by just sitting there and looking pretty. sha hualing is undeniably charismatic and willing to put in the time and work to secure her position. the controversies she gets involved in only boost her engagement, and she's probably in the top 3% of earners. she's turned it into a science. she watches over her analytics like a warlord looks over trade routes. she intentionally starts a rumor that her and binghe slept together at twitchcon and binghe is too busy mooning over sy to care. this is not about the love of streaming or her deciding to simply broadcast another passion. success is a game to her and she intends to win, no matter how many fake teary-eyed apology videos it takes to get there.
nobody else would stream unless they were forced at gunpoint.
#ask danny#svsss#also before i get accused of my streamer shl hcs being misogynistic:#that's the point. twitch is a deeply misogynistic platform and she's aware of that and she's gaming the system.#this kind of streaming is not low-hanging fruit in the way a lot of angry pissbaby dudebros think it is#it takes charisma skill dedication and hard work to actually effectively manipulate people out of their tier three subs.#and this is not even considering the mental toll of being objectified by tens of thousands of strangers as your day job.#strangers who can and will attempt to bring real world harm to you.#i am not saying these things to flatten shl's character. i'm saying these things for a reason.#i think she's on that fucking grindset and i respect the hustle#and i think she should make whiny entitled manbaby streamers ragecry about her success.

The Heathers + Veronica Youtuber! AU
I'm gonna be trying to post more consistently, hopefully once a week on Fridays
In this AU the events of Heathers happened somewhat similarly, Veronica never joined the group but she still got together with JD and he murdered Kurt and Ram but failed to kill Chandler before the ending playing out the same. JD is also more movie-like in that he isn't as obsessed with Veronica and just wants to kill.
The Heathers are the most popular Youtuber group in the history of the platform
Their channels combined have over 200 million subscribers, and ask any person on the street and they would be able to tell you who the Heathers are, think like Mr. Beast levels of people knowing them and double it
The group consists of three members
The first is Heather Chandler, aka Mythic_Bitch, who has a beauty/drama channel and is by far the most popular of the three
A weird combination of topics sure, but one Chandler makes work
She'll often review beauty products, and while applying them to herself she'll talk about Youtube drama
Beauty companies line up to have their products tested out by her, and she will only accept sponsorships from those which she feels are the best of the best or those which she wants to warn her viewers about
As part of her sponsorship contracts she demands that she be free to give her true opinion about the product, a term which the companies are forced to accept if they want their products recommended by the most popular Youtuber in the world
And of course she is always in the know of all the juiciest drama
Her word is treated as gospel among the population of the site, when she gives her opinion on the matter its closed and public opinion shifts to whatever Chandler's opinion is
She started out just reviewing products, but she quickly ran out of things to say while showing her viewers how to use them which led to awkward pauses
Knowing that she would have to find something to fill that blank space, she tried doing timelapses, telling personal stories, jumpcuts, and when none of those seemed to really work she decided to talk about what she knows best, which was drama
Her modest audience was boosted by an influx of new subscribers who sought out her opinion on the latest drama
And since this is Youtube, there's always new drama going on so she never runs out of things to talk about
Her views only skyrocketed when it was announced she would be collaborating with two other Youtubers who also happened to be named Heather
They would appear in her videos, acting as canvases for her to test out products on or to help talk about a big piece of drama news
Next up is Heather Duke, aka Shut Up Heather!, who runs a channel which focuses on literature
One would expect this to be rather boring content, I mean she's just talking about books, but her unique sense of humor combined with her insights into the books she discusses creates interesting videos for even those who wouldn't normally be interested in reading
She often tries to search out lesser-known books by unknown authors and reviews their work to try and bring attention to them
Mainly the kinds of books she looks for are by LGBTQ+ or POC authors
She also accepts submissions of writings for her to review and critique to help them improve their stories and with her advice several writer viewers have managed to get their stories published, an accomplishment she always celebrates by making a video about said book
For the longest time she's been trying to write her own book but keeps pushing it back out of fear that it's not good enough, but her viewers wait in anticipation for that day
Once she began collaborating with the other Heathers, she introduced a new segment to her videos, the skit segment
When trying to explain a key scene from a book she's reviewing, she and the other Heathers will act it out in a succinct yet humorous manner
They spare no expense either, getting costumes, doing their hair and makeup, the whole nine yards
At the end of the video there's a blooper reel of all their failed attempts
A fan-favorite of her channel has nothing to do with literature, its her pet snake, Cornelius
He was included in a skit involving a scene where a character was bitten by a snake, and ever since that video her viewers begged to see more of him
So she now starts every video by giving a snake update
To round out the trio, there's Heather McNamara, aka Mac & Cheese, who makes variety content with her golden retriever, Cheese
She hated the idea of being stuck into this box of 'gaming Youtuber' or 'drama Youtuber' or whatever, so she posts whatever she feels like with no cohesion
Normally this wouldn't be the best move, after all to have a consistent audience one should focus on a single type of content that those same viewers would come back for, but Mac's bright bubbly personality helps tie it all together
She has several ongoing series in between her other content, including a Minecraft Let's Play and a series focusing on her pets, of which she has several
Of course there's Cheese, but also Munchkin the Rabbit, a Parakeet named Tweety and a Maine Coon called Heather Catler, who was adopted after the collaboration with her was announced
The latter is technically Chandler's pet but she hates her so for all intents and purposes she's Mac's
In these videos she'll show her routine for caring for them and give the audience updates, but mostly its just an excuse for her to get paid for playing with her pets
From week to week her content can shift wildly, it all depending on what Mac feels like doing that week
The one constant is Cheese, who the viewers often call her twin because Mac always dresses in yellow
The dog was named Cheese because he loves cheese, to the point that if she cooks with it he'll jump onto the counter to nab some
The three of them also have a collab channel, simply called The Heathers, where they post content involving the three of them
When the collaboration was announced the three of them bought a house together and all moved in, an experience which they vlogged and created the channel to post the vlogs to
They post the occasional vlog, but also their gaming videos where they play games like Mario Party, or Duke's infamous prank videos, like the time she put her snake in Chandler's makeup cabinet, capturing on film the moment she opens it up and screams upon seeing a snake slithering through her things
As time passed their fanbases grew and grew until they became the largest group on the platform
They were invited to official Youtube events, went to conventions like VidCon, started their own merch line, major news companies started reporting on their big developments, things were only going up for them
Unbeknownst to the public, however, the three of them were dating, and had been long before starting their channels
Of course there was always speculation, there was plenty of evidence that the three of them were in some way LGBTQ+, but no one could agree on which two were dating and the Heathers never confirmed or denied anything
They were at the top of the world, they were extremely well-liked, had no major controversies and most importantly to them, they were happy
But one day, things changed
Veronica Sawyer, aka Detective Sawyer, ran a small channel of around 150k subscribers focusing on true crime and unsolved mysteries
Her small fanbase admired the sheer quality of her videos, as it was clear they were well-researched and well put together
A big part of her content was the motive behind the crime
Veronica was studying criminal psychology at her university and she applied what she learned in class to these cases to try and understand what drove these people to commit these heinous acts
If a case was unsolved, she would give her best guess on what she think happened
She took audience submissions for people they wanted her to cover, which helped boost her views as she was looking in to who her viewers wanted to see
Because of how long it took to research, analyze, and film, she did not upload very often, but her videos were always greeted with plenty of fanfare
**Line break**
She also always wore this monocle and a old-timey detective's hat, helping her to build up this character
However, there was a reason she created this channel, a reason she chose to cover what she did, hell even a reason that she was studying criminal psychology in the first place
Initially she was never planning on covering it on her channel, sure it fit in with the rest of her content but it was deeply personal to her and she wasn't sure if she wanted to share it with the whole wide world
But eventually she decided to do it, having it serve as a warning to those in similar situations
The video was titled "The Tale of Jason "JD" Dean and the Girl Stupid Enough to Follow Him"
As soon as the video started it was clear that something was off
She wasn't wearing her usual get-up, and it took her several seconds to compose herself before she was able to speak
She started by saying that this situation is different than all others she's covered up until this point, because it involves her personally
She went on to explain that this was more so than others a cautionary tale, of fear and lust and pride based on actual events where people died (People died)
She started at the beginning, spinning a tale of a loser girl and a guy who took interest in her, infecting her with his lies that they personally could choose who lived and who died because they knew better than everyone else
She spoke of his crimes, from attempting to poison the most popular girl in school by spiking her coffee with drain cleaner to shooting and killing two jocks after luring them to a graveyard at the dead of night, and his 'jokes' about killing her too if she went to the police
She told of how she was enthralled by his ideology, the idea that bad people deserved to be punished and that they were the ones tasked to do so, letting her finally get revenge on the people that had wronged her for years
Eventually she reached the end, with her realization that he was insane after telling her of his plan to blow up the school, leaving them the sole survivors, and how after she left him he almost killed her and was forced to fake her own suicide to get him to leave, only to confront him at school and remove the bomb, only for him to then take it back and blow himself up on the football field, claiming that he was too damaged and that she deserved better
She then went on to speak of the aftermath, the countless police interviews, the trial where she was found not guilty as she had not actually participated in any of the crimes and was found to be under major duress and threat of harm, explaining why she hadn't acted sooner, her stay at a psychiatric institution, the hours and hours of painful, upsetting therapy, her return to school, her anger at everything and everyone, and her eventually resolve to figure out what drove JD to do the things he did, leading to this channel
Eventually she reached her segment where she discussed the why behind his actions, where she attempted to dissect his rationale, speaking of the death of his mother, his abusive father, his constant moving around, ending up with a simple 'he thought he was better than everyone else and was the one to dish out punishment' being unwilling or unable to go any further
The video ended there, Veronica clearly in tears and just wanting to be done with this
Unexpectedly her video blew up, reaching the front page, going up to #1 Trending at it's peak
Veronica was surprised to see her comments sections filled with supporting comments, telling her that she was so brave for going through that and coming out on the other side, saying that JD was a master manipulator and that she shouldn't feel bad for falling for him, and that they are proud of her for being able to get up here and tell her story despite how much she suffered
But what really surprised her was a single comment from a Mythic_Bitch, asking her if they could talk
The replies to it were filled with questions and theories, but all were ignored
Of course Veronica knew the Heathers ran the most popular Youtube Channels on the platform, how could she not, but she wasn't expecting Heather fucking Chandler to see her video, much less ask to talk to her
But she couldn't be all that surprised, after all it was her that JD tried to kill, the situation involved her as much as it did Veronica
Of course she didn't name her or anyone besides herself and JD, but she still knew who she was talking about
With much anxiety she sent her a reply, starting a chat with the Demon Queen herself
Private Message Between Mythic_Bitch and Detective Sawyer
Detective Sawyer: Hey, you wanted to talk?
Mythic_Bitch: Yeah, I saw your video.
No messages are sent for about 5 minutes
Detective Sawyer: And?
Mythic_Bitch: I have to say I was pleasantly surprised
Detective Sawyer: What
Mythic_Bitch: You took complete accountability for your actions, never once trying to downplay your role in the events but instead explaining why you did what you did
Mythic_Bitch: Honestly I expected you to just deny deny deny and blame it all on JD, but it seems that you've grown up a bit
Detective Sawyer: Of course I took accountability for my part, even if I didn't actually do anything to hurt anyone I still enabled him to do what he did
Mythic_Bitch: I have a proposition for you
Detective Sawyer: Well that was an abrupt change of topic
Mythic_Bitch: Just take the compliment and listen to my proposition
Mythic_Bitch: I want you to interview me, on your channel
Mythic_Bitch: You can ask me literally anything about my perspective on the situation, my experiences, whatever you think will add to your video
Mythic_Bitch: It'll be a great way to get some views, plus when have you gotten the opportunity to interview a victim of one of your video's subjects before?
Detective Sawyer: And you're ok with this? It kinda seems like I'd be forcing you to talk about your trauma
Mythic_Bitch: I trust that you won't just ask "Hey Heather how did it feel to almost get fucking murdered?" or something like that
Mythic_Bitch: Besides, my therapist says I need to "open up more" and I guess this counts
Detective Sawyer: I guess that makes sense, but why are you being so nice to me? I enabled the guy who almost killed you, you should hate my guts
Mythic_Bitch: Its a twofold situation
Mythic_Bitch: Not blaming you, but since you put out that video its only a matter of time before people find out who his victims were
Mythic_Bitch: You tried to hide my name but its the internet, things like that don't stay secret forever
Mythic_Bitch: And don't apologize either, this is just what happens, and it probably would've been found eventually
Mythic_Bitch: Also I'd like to talk about it on my own terms, before the horde of fans demand an explanation
Detective Sawyer: Understandable, but I'm still sorry about that
Mythic_Bitch: And I don't really blame you
Mythic_Bitch: You were young and dumb, and there was this guy who made you feel special and important and that nothing else besides him mattered, and because of that you ignored all of the red flags
Mythic_Bitch: I know what its like to be in that situation, and it would be hypocritical of me to judge you for it when I am guilty of it myself
Detective Sawyer: Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't know
Mythic_Bitch: Don't. Just don't
Detective Sawyer: Ok....
Detective Sawyer: Well, I guess I accept your offer, just let me know when you're free
Mythic_Bitch: Alright
Veronica didn't exactly believe her when she said that she didn't blame her
Of course she had no choice but to take what she said as the truth, but she couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it than what she was told
She considered that this interview was just a chance for her to yell at her for all that she's done, to tell her that she hates her and for everyone to beg Youtube to delete her channel, the possibilities for humiliation were endless
Even so, a small part of her hoped that she was telling the truth and simply wants to tell her side of things, however unlikely that may be
The scheduled time for the interview arrived and Veronica booted up a livestream
There had been massive hype when it was announced, and even before the stream started there were millions waiting
It was widely theorized that Chandler was the victim that survived, after all why else would she comment on the video?
She sent the link to Chandler before sighing and turning on her camera
She explained, to those who didn't already know, that she would be interviewing Mythic_Bitch about her part in the JD Case, and asked them to please remain respectful as this was gonna be tough for both of them
She also added that any donations made would be donated to a anti-child abuse organization and that Chandler had agreed to match and double the amount
With that she pulled up Chandler's screen
She was sitting on a rather expensive looking couch, Duke and Mac on either side of her, and Cheese laying on the couch with them
Veronica decided to start out with some pleasantries, asking the three of them how things had been going, trying to diffuse the obvious tension
She received three identical oks, and sensing this wasn't going to work she decided to just move on to the interview
Before she did that she reminded Chandler that at any point she could end the interview or refuse to answer a question that makes her uncomfortable
To start, she decided to ask Chandler why she wanted to have this interview, already knowing the answer but asking for the audience's sake
Chandler responded that she was the victim who was fed drain cleaner and survived from her latest video
Veronica then asked if she could give her account of the event
Chandler explained that she woke up with a hangover from a party the previous night and went to make herself a prairie oyster
Unbeknownst to her, JD had switched out one of the ingredients with drain cleaner, making sure to clean up his fingerprints after doing so, and when she went to drink it she felt a burning sensation, quickly stopping drinking
Looking in the cup she could see that it was bright blue, and so she quickly called 911 and was taken to a hospital where she went into a coma
When she awoke it was several months later, and she was told that she had tried to kill herself, much to her confusion
It was hard to talk, as she had gotten several surgeries while in a coma to replace the damaged tissues and organs, but thankfully because she didn't drink that much and called 911 quickly she was able to make a full recovery
She told the doctors that she didn't have suicidal thoughts, and thats when they brought out the suicide note
Veronica interjects here, explaining that she was the one to forge it, the actual words being JDs and her just using her skills at forgery, all done under threat of something happening to her if she didn't comply because "she knew too much already"
The police came and took a statement and while searching for evidence JD blew himself up and Veronica turned herself in, clearing up the situation
She ended up staying in the hospital for months after, going through physical therapy to help her re-learn how to talk and walk after so long in a coma, actual therapy for her many issues, and monitoring, but eventually she was allowed to go free
She told the audience that she wasn't exactly the nicest person in high school, quite the opposite, and thats probably why she was a target for JD, but after almost dying she had a newfound perspective on life and on the way she had been acting, and decided to try to make up for the wrongs she's done
She felt like she didn't do enough, and thats part of why she made a Youtube channel
Entertaining people, giving advice on things she knew enough about to help people with, thats some good she could do, right?
Tears are pooling in her eyes as she finishes speaking
Mac and Duke, seeing the tears, took the opportunity to tell Chandler that of course she did enough, they witnessed firsthand her bending over backwards to earn forgiveness from all the people at Westerberg, and even now she donated most of their earnings to different charities and holds fundraisers constantly, and that she's more than made up for her actions
Chandler starts crying before pulling both of them into a tight hug, telling them that she loves them so much and that she couldn't imagine a life without them, before giving them a big kiss
Veronica just stays silent before the realization hits her
They're kissing
Thinking about it, it should've been obvious they had some kind of polyamorous situation, they were wayyy too close to just be friends
Then a second realization hits her
They're recording
She makes some noises in an attempt to get their attention, and when they turn to face the camera they all have the realization at the same time, and their faces burn bright red
Duke mutters that they're gonna have to make a video on this, but Chandler says screw it and that they'll just talk about this now
She tells the audience that her, Mac and Duke are all dating each other and had been since freshman year for her and Mac and junior year for all three of them, and that the four of them went to the same high school
She promises to make another video elaborating on their situation, but this is Veronica's stream and they don't want to take the attention away from her
Veronica feels super awkward, like she walked in on them having sex or something, but quickly comes to her senses and moves on with the interview
She asks Chandler some questions about what she can remember of JD, even going to ask Mac and Duke what they remembered
This is actually how Veronica found out that JD blackmailed Duke to pass around a petition that was later found to be a group suicide note
For her part Chandler asks Veronica some questions about what about him drew her in, what he threatened to do to her, what he did to her, and eventually her final question, why his ideology appealed to her?
It takes a minute for her to respond, but she eventually settles on saying that everyone knows that she wasn't exactly the most popular in high school and she always thought that it was unfair that who she perceived as bad people got to live good, fun lives while she struggled, and so when he came by and told her that her feelings were right and good and that she could use them to change things for the better, she jumped at the opportunity
Chandler muttered 'that's what I thought' before taking a deep breath and saying that after all these years there was one person at Westerberg that she never apologized to, and that was Veronica, and she feels that out of everyone she's the one owed an apology the most
Veronica is taken aback as Chandler begins listing off all the things she needed to apologize for, like bullying her and her best friends, having others target them and so on, but Veronica interrupts her, telling her that she's the one who should be apologizing, her boyfriend literally tried to kill her and she was a part of it
**Line break**
Chandler then said "who do you think pushed you to that point?", telling her that it was obvious the 'bad people' she referred to earlier meant them, and maybe if they weren't such bad people then she wouldn't have felt the need to do what she did, essentially telling her that she blamed herself for everything that happened
Before Veronica could get in another word Chandler told her that she knew that words could not ever begin to make up for all the pain she went through because of them, and that's why she has something to offer her
She invited her to join the Heathers, move in with them in their house in California, become part of their events, the whole fucking package
Veronica is stunned and is silent for a good few minutes, just taking it in
Mac eventually asks if she's ok, which breaks her out of her stupor
Veronica tries to deny the offer, saying that she doesn't deserve it, but all three of them start trying to convince her, eventually wearing her down and getting her to say Yes
The livestream eventually ended, and Veronica flopped on to her bed and screamed into her pillow
In the meantime, the Heather started their preparations to have Veronica join their group
They added her to all of their groups, linked her channel to their shared channel, bought her a plane ticket and arranged delivery for her things
They then made a quick announcement on their Twitters and filmed a short video announcing her invitation for anyone who didn't see the stream, but it was pretty redundant because every news outlet was covering this news
The idea to invite her was actually Chandler's, she had always wanted to apologize to Veronica since the moment she heard her testimony at the trial, but with her isolating herself and deleting her social media she never got the opportunity, so when this situation came up she saw it as a sign to make up for what she believed was her biggest wrong
And now she could not only boost her channel and bring her plenty of clout and attention, but also get her out of that horrible town where everything went down, in Chandler's opinion a win-win situation
Fast forward several weeks, and Veronica has gotten everything arranged on her end
She applied to a much better university in California, known for its astounding criminal psychology program, and was transferring there next semester
The Heathers agreed to cover the cost of her tuition, so the only thing she had to worry about was actually getting it, but with her videos she was able to prove to admissions that she would be an excellent fit for their program
As she got on the plane to head to California she started feeling unsure again
It was something she kinda pushed to the side while she worked on getting everything settled, but now that the day was here it came back in full force
She barely knew these people, and despite everyone, even Martha telling her that the Heathers had changed, she couldn't escape the feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong
On top of that, she hated the idea that her channel was going to grow off the backs of other people
She wanted her channel to succeed due to her own merits, not promotion from people who already made it big
And while her channel had grown after the first video on JD, it grew exponentially faster following the interview with Chandler and her endorsement, but how many of these subscribers subscribed because they liked her content or because she was part of the group?
These thoughts swam around her mind the entire plane right, the stress only building as she landed in LA
As she got off the plane she was able to find the three of them dressed inconspicuously as to not draw attention to the fact they were the Heathers
Inconspicuously for them at least, to any onlookers they looked like they were going to the Met Gala
Upon seeing her Mac rushed up and pulled her into a hug, the force of which knocked the wind out of Veronica
They went to pick up Veronica's luggage, of which there wasn't much as she had shipped most of it a week earlier, and then they got into Duke's infamous dark green Jeep, her "baby"
The tension during the car ride was so thick one could cut it with a knife
None of them really knew what to say to the other, Mac trying to start conversation but all attempts receiving a short, curt response that didn't leave much for her to work with
Plus Veronica had jet lag, having taken an early flight to avoid any fans who may want to see the Heathers greet her at the airport, so she was exhausted beyond belief
After a 2 hour drive they reached the mansion the Heathers called home
This thing was massive, being 3 stories tall and having huge grounds surrounded by a electric fence, which Duke explained had to be installed after some fans tried to break in to their house
They had planned on showing her around but they could see that she was exhausted, so they decided to postpone that and just show her to the guest room (her stuff hadn't arrived yet) While they headed to the room Veronica was amazed at the sheer luxury of the home, she knew the Heathers were rich but not this rich
As soon as she basically fell into the bed she thought 'this is the most comfortable I have ever felt in my entire fucking life' before falling asleep
When she woke up she saw a little yellow sticky note attached to the nightstand, telling her to come down to the kitchen whenever she was ready =) <3 - Mac
She just shrugged and headed down, after spending 20 minutes trying to find her way around the house, seeing the three of them sitting at the kitchen table, scrolling their phones
They look up and see her, and ask her to sit down
Feeling like she's already done something wrong, she nervously sits down
Chandler starts by welcoming her to their home, before saying that they have to talk business before they can do the fun stuff
They just have a couple of suggestions of how to improve her content and to let her know the expectations they have for her
Internally she thinks that maybe they should've talked about this before she moved across the whole country to work with them, but she digresses
Over all its not too much, they tell her that she should send her videos to be edited by someone else, they have several amazing editors who will accommodate any specification she has, plus it'll save her some time
They also tell her that she will have to be in some group content like vlogs and Duke's skits, but they wouldn't pry too much into her personal life and that they would work around her school schedule
That also meant that if she needed them to be in her videos that they would be available to do so
However there are 2 major problems
The first is that they want her to upload more frequently
Currently she uploaded about once every other week, sometimes more if it was a smaller video or the evidence was easier to obtain, but the Heathers wanted at least 2 a week
Veronica said that she felt like it would compromise the quality of her videos if she was to do that, plus with her college she's gonna need to devote even more time to studying than she did at her old community college
They were able to negotiate it to once a week, but she would start making shorts going over some cases she's already covered
The final issues was a big one
The Heathers' channels were family-friendly, at least to some extent
Veronica's was not, often going into detail about the heinous actions the subjects of her videos committed to paint the full picture of the nature of the crimes
The Heathers were worried that this could cause Youtube to take action against her channel, and that maybe she should tone it down a little
**Line break**
Veronica was vehemently against this, stating that in no uncertain terms would she be censoring her videos
Duke told her that they figured as much, but they had to do something because Youtube really doesn't like that kind of thing on their platform
It didn't matter so much when she was a smaller channel, but now she is likely to become the 4th biggest channel on the site, meaning it was more likely that Youtube would be willing to demonetize her or give her channels strikes
Veronica retorted, saying that 'so it's about the money then?'
Chandler explains that its yes and no, obviously they want to make money and more importantly want her to make money, but they also don't want her to lose her hard work over it
They know Youtube isn't a perfect platform, but its what they have to work with and they kinda have to play their game and follow their rules, no matter how ridiculous they are
She then told her that they wouldn't force her to do anything, but to just think about it
They had a few more things to discuss, mostly about money (25% of profits from all of their channels went into a shared account to help pay for the groceries and bills and that kind of stuff, and the money from their shared channel would be divided evenly between the four of them), which Veronica felt was fair and agreed to
With all that settled all that was left to do is start recording
They were planning on filming a vlog for that day, detailing the process of her moving in and getting settled
Initial filming attempts go badly, to the shock of no one
Veronica is an introvert and is in a completely new place with people she barely knows and trying to do content she is wholly unfamiliar with, of course she didn't do great
They did that mainly to see what areas of her performance needed improvement, and yeah she needs a lot of work
They postponed the video and spent a few days walking her thought how to act on camera around other people
She was fine when alone and in her element, but in unfamiliar situations she really struggled, so they needed to work on getting her more comfortable around them and around the camera
To help with this, they had a game night that night, a staple for their shared channel, but they told her that they weren't going to film it, just play
They were filming, they just didn't want her to know and were planning on including it as a segment in a larger video
They decided on Wii Sports, as they knew how rowdy they (Duke) got during other games and they didn't want to scare her
It took a minute, but after a while Veronica started to let her guard down and get into the game
She even ended up winning at bowling, much to the dismay of Duke and Chandler
Once they finished they pulled out the camera and admitted that they recorded the whole thing, just to show her that it wasn't that hard and she just had to act like the camera wasn't there
She was pretty upset about this, they had told her specifically that they weren't filming and they did it anyway, was this how things were going to be living with them?
The Heathers were quick to explain no, this was just to help her get accustomed to the camera
Veronica understood their reasoning but told them that if this ever happened again she would be leaving, no questions asked
If she was to be filmed, she must know that she is being filmed, firmly establishing this boundary with them, to which the three of them apologized and agreed to
Despite how upset she was at them for it she was actually kind of glad, because when they went to film the other parts of the vlog she found it easier to be in front of the camera
Still not easy by any means, but she no longer felt like a wild animal being recorded by researchers
To make it up to her the Heathers let her pick what movie they watched that night, and not a single complaint was heard when she picked The Princess Bride
From there her new routine started
She had class three times a week, and she would get up early
The Heathers told her that she didn't have to worry about driving, they paid for a chauffeur, which while making her feel a little uncomfortable at just how rich they were also was freakin' amazing when she had a 7am class and the college was an hour and a half away, meaning that she could sleep the whole way there
She also had security with her at all times, another thing she had to grow accustomed to
The Heathers had told her that because of their popularity they almost never went anywhere without security, there were some crazy fans out there willing to do anything to meet their favorite Youtubers
It was that that made her realize just what she was getting into
She was a celebrity now, a person of note, she needed security and chauffeurs and all this crazy rich people stuff because as much as they loved their fans some took it a little too far
This was none more apparent from the moment she stepped out of the car
Some people with too much free time had realized that she was moving in with the Heathers, and knowing she was attending college for criminal psychology found the nearest university with a good program for it, and had been coming for several days in hopes to catch a sight of the one of the biggest content creators
She was bombarded with people taking photos of her, asking for autographs and answers to their questions, one really dedicated fan even trying to ask her on a date
Thankfully security forced them all back, and campus police arrived not too long after to remove those who refused to leave her alone but the experience stuck with her, making her question if she had made the right choice
What she didn't question was coming to this university
The class was much more intensive, with a professor who really knew what she was talking about and classmates who wanted to be there and put their all into learning
They didn't even care that she was Detective Sawyer, hell they actually helped her by pointing out some mistakes in her videos, giving her an idea for some new content, to go back over her old videos and update them
And sure she probably had triple the work to do, but it wasn't like she needed to work a part-time job anymore to help pay for rent while balancing her channel
Inbetween homework she would research topics for her channel, relying more heavily than ever on viewer submissions to find new subjects, but as a result of her better education her analyses became much more detailed and accurate
But the most interesting part of her new life is the Heathers
She had imagined rich people life to involve hundreds of servants running around, waiting on the beck and call of their masters, going to balls and other events for snobby rich people, sipping martinis on the beach, you get the idea
But in reality, they were nothing like that at all
There was not a single servant anywhere in the house, the only hired help was the chauffeurs and security, which they said they only have for their own protection
All of the household chores were divided up amongst themselves, everyone doing their fare share
They also seemed to genuinely enjoy each other's company, which yeah they were dating but even so she had always imagined them as coworkers in their job of being popular and shit, but it was the exact opposite
Despite their busy lives, between filming, chores, dealing with business aspects of their channels and their own personal projects, they always made time for each other, and she would usually see them at night cuddling on the couch watching a movie, or playing a game, or just talking to each other
**Line break**
And they seemed to have a really strong relationship
She never really saw them fighting, if one of them had an issue with something the other two always listened, if they needed each other they would immediately put down what they doing to go help
There were no "Shut up Heathers", no shoving, no rude comments, no yelling, they were kind and caring and sweet
If you told Veronica that she entered the Twilight Zone she would've believed you
Maybe that drain cleaner messed with Chandler more than she thought
And the weirdest thing was that they extended this kindness to her as well
Whenever she came home stressed they would fuss over her, making her hot cocoa
They would listen whenever she came to them with problems with sponsors, Chandler even getting on the phone with them personally to deal with it
Sometimes they would invite her to watch a movie with them, or take her to events that they had been invited to but she had not, making sure to let the whole world know that they did things as a group and she was part of the group
And she appreciated all of it, don't get her wrong, their help was invaluable in helping her navigate the world of the top echelons of Youtube, but she felt weird
Not only did she not feel like she deserved the kindness afforded to her, she literally helped in the attempted murder of Chandler, but seeing them all happy and loving made her feel.... jealous, in a way
She's only ever had the one relationship, and that was the disastrous one with JD
He wasn't exactly the most touchy-feely or even loving of partners, and oh yeah he was a psychopath, so she's never had the experience of real love and seeing the Heathers being so in love made her a little upset
She knows she's being irrational, she no longer thinks that they're bad people and knows they deserve to be happy, but she still wants that feeling of love more than anything and hates the constant reminders of what she doesn't have
She tried to go on some dates, but her dates were mostly fans who sought her out or were really creepy, so that was a bust
The Heathers always comforted her after a failed date, being there with open arms, which only makes her feel worse
She also considered asking them to tone it down, but this is their home and as much as they try she doesn't feel like she belongs here just yet, so it feels unfair to ask them to watch their behavior in their own home
Eventually she internalizes the idea that she's meant to be alone forever, a repentance for her wrongs with JD, and she starts to withdraw herself
Of course the Heathers know that something is up
Veronica clearly never got the help she needed after the incident, the trauma never being confronted
When Chandler asked her if she needed help finding a therapist upon moving, she was surprised to hear that she didn't need one and never had one
They saw the bags under her eyes, saw her grades slipping, noticed her attempts to avoid interaction, only talking to them when they needed to film, and even then it seemed like the progress they had made over the past few months had vanished overnight
They watched her videos, and while they didn't know much about child psychology they could tell that her analyses were off and not accurate, the comments confirming their suspicions
However, they debated on just how to help her
Chandler was adamant that they just confront her outright, but Duke told her that it would only scare her or piss her off
Mac suggested that they bring it slowly during a normal conversation, but Chandler said that she was too smart for that and would see it coming from a mile away
Eventually they came up with a plan to get her to talk
They told her one day that they were making a video about mental health and the stigmatism surrounding it, and if she was ok with it she would like her to talk about her experiences
Veronica looked weary, but Chandler told her that the rest of them would be talking about their issues and none of them would judge
She eventually agreed to do so, and headed in front of the camera
What Veronica didn't know is that the camera wasn't actually on
The plan was that by opening up themselves, Veronica would feel more comfortable talking about what was going on
They imagined that before making the video on JD she was repressing it all, but with it blowing up she was unable to escape it, which combined with the fact that she never dealt with the trauma to begin with was probably the source of her current issues
Chandler started by speaking about her parents, both abusive and non present, her need to be better than everyone else, and the things she needed to do to maintain her popularity, before moving on to the whole almost getting murdered situation and how she got helped by the mental health staff while waiting to recover from her injuries
Duke then spoke about her bulimia and self-image issues, how it invaded her every thought, every action, every waking moment but also how, with the help of her gfs, she was able to get the courage to do something about it
Mac then spoke about her troubles with self-harm and suicide, even to the extent that the only reason she was here today was a child-proof cap on a pill bottle preventing her from taking the meds before Chandler found her, and how even though she didn't want help and just wanted to fade away she eventually found something to live for
Hearing all of this, Veronica only felt worse
These were people with actual problems, who have gone through some shit in their lives, not like her who chose to get together with JD and willingly took part in his demented lies
She deserved what she went through, she didn't deserve the help
She stood up before bolting out of the room before locking herself in hers
Chandler said "goddamnit, we're moving on to Plan B", much to the other two's confusion
Chandler raced up to her room, and upon finding it locked asked Veronica to 'open the door please'
Those words brought her back to that awful day when JD banged on her closet while she huddled up scared, using the exact same words to order her to come with him, and she started to feel lightheaded and her breaths became rapid
Hearing the telltale signs of a panic attack, Mac used her cheerleader strength to kick the door in just the right place to force it to swing open without it breaking, before rushing over to find Veronica curled up in a ball on the side of her bed
She quickly pulled her into her arms and after a bit of struggling Veronica gave up and began to sob into Mac's shoulder, the other two sitting beside the pair stroking her hair as she cried
Eventually Veronica was able to calm down and as she looked at the three women looking at her with concern written across their faces, she felt deep shame for bothering them and needing comfort like a child
Duke asked her if she wanted to talk about it, and when Veronica shook her head Chandler stepped in, telling her that she probably needed to talk about it
Veronica was able to choke out that she was fine, but Mac was quick to ask her if running into her room having a panic attack was her definition of fine
After a bit more persuasion she gave in, and began to explain what was wrong
The Heathers were shocked to hear what was actually bothering her
They knew she had been on a few dates and that they hadn't gone well, but they never realized just how much love, both past and lackthereof, had a negative impact on her mental health
They assured her that they didn't think her struggles made her weak or were bothering them, and they were here for her if she needed to talk, and that she deserved to get help, her past be damned
**Line break**
Chandler also told her that she was going to therapy, and her tone of voice indicated that this wasn't optional
The Heathers also agreed to help her with dating
They all sat down one night and Mac asked her if she was looking for guys, girls, nonbinary people, or it didn't really matter
Being bisexual Veronica responded that it didn't really matter, but she would prefer a woman
Duke then pulled out a sheet of paper and asked her what she was looking for in a partner
It took her a good minute to think about her answer, but she eventually responded that they would have to be kind, protective, cognizant of the world around them and their place in it and accepting of her past misdeeds and willing to look past them, but also willing to stand up for what they believe in and being intolerant of injustice
They also need to be ok with her Youtuber lifestyle and of the subject matter of her channel
It was only later when reviewing the list that Duke realized that all of these these things lined up with them, which she brushed off at the time as a coincidence
Unbeknownst to her Mac picked up on this immediately, and decided to keep a closer eye on how Veronica acts around them
After talking a few things over Chandler decided that it was probably best if she dated a fellow Youtuber, someone who knew the struggles of their career
Using her many connections she was able to secure dates with several different Youtubers
The dates were framed as collaborations and all took place in public areas with the Heathers present, and of course they were filmed
They knew that Veronica had bad experiences with previous dates, and they just wanted to make sure nothing fishy went down
However, she already knew these dates wouldn't go anywhere and just went along with them, her heart being set on a certain color-coded trio despite knowing the absurdity of her feelings
Most of the dates ended with both Veronica and her date agreeing that the spark just wasn't there and parting ways as friends, but not all dates ended so amicably
The Heathers had found someone who made similar content to Veronica, hoping that the connection would help foster a relationship
Instead, the Youtuber went on to berate Veronica every time the camera was turned off and the Heathers had their backs turned, telling her that her analyses were all wrong and that there was no why behind the crime, they were just evil people with no reason to why they did what they did, and even going as far to tell her that she was stupid for falling for JD and should've seen right through him and gone to the police
Veronica initially stayed quiet, knowing how much thought work the Heathers put into finding a date for her, but the last comment set her off and she punched the Youtuber right in the nose
The Heathers quickly rushed over, asking Veronica what was her damage?, to which Veronica explained what she told her
The Heathers were livid, telling the Youtuber to get the hell out and never talk to them again
The Youtuber threatened to sue for assault, but Chandler gave an evil cackle and told her that if she tried she would ruin her career, get her channel removed, blacklisted from every sponsorship opportunity, basically forcing her to get a normal job
The Youtuber looked terrified and scurried away
Mac quickly pulled Veronica into a hug, apologizing for what just happened
Veronica brushed it off, saying that they couldn't have known her true colors, blushing the entire time Mac had her arms around her
Mac took note of this, seemingly confirming her suspicions
After that debacle Veronica decided to hold off on dating for a while, a sentiment which the Heathers couldn't help but agree with
Mac took this opportunity to test Veronica's reactions to things
When they would sit on the couch she would get really close to her, just barely touching, noting how Veronica's heart would start to beat louder and faster when she did so
If they needed to go somewhere during a video she would grab Veronica's hand and pull her along, seeing how she would blush and (poorly) try to hide it
Things seemingly pointed to that she had a crush on them, but her suspicions were confirmed when she accidentally got a peek at Veronica's diary
Tweety had flown into Veronica's room and she was running around trying to catch her, and while attempting to do so she bumped into her nightstand, knocking a book over
The book had fallen in such a way so that when Mac picked it up it was open to pages where Veronica detailed her feelings towards the Heathers soon after she arrived, the notes on them being written in their signature colors
She wasn't intending to read it, but when she saw her name written in a sparkling yellow hue she couldn't help herself
March 16th, 20XX
Dear Diary, I've been living with the Heathers for about two weeks now, and I've got to say I was pleasantly surprised. I was sure that the interview was gonna be a prank, and even more sure that this situation was an even bigger one, but in the time that I've been here they've been nothing but kind and caring and supportive. They've helped me so much with Youtube and getting things settled, they'll never know just how much I appreciate their help.
And the weirdest thing is just how much they've changed;
Heather Chandler - I used to think she was a real bitch, a Regina George-type who just cared about herself, but the person that I've seen is nothing like that. She is dedicated to making up for her wrongs, hell she apologized to Martha, MARTHA of all people! She showed me her donations, and she is donating tens of thousands a month to various charities. HEATHER FUCKING CHANDLER is donating to charities about bullying and domestic violence and honestly I feel like I entered an alternate dimension. And she's so passionate, she's so hot when she goes on her tirades or yells at people god I wish she would talk to me that way
What I meant to say is that she honestly believes in the causes she supports, the other day she was livid because she watched a video about some Youtuber coming forward with allegations against their previous partner who was another Youtuber and how she planned to invite that person onto her channel and hear her side of the story, and how she was planning on working to get her ex's channel taken down. Yes, Heather Chandler is helping an abuse victim, what a world we live in. Something probably went on in her past involving abuse, but I don't want to pry at it, we've really only known each other for two weeks.
If you thought she was hot normally SHE LOOKS EVEN BETTER IN PERSON, HOLY SHIT when she has her makeup on its like Aphrodite herself walked in
I don't normally look for looks when I'm trying to find a partner, but GODDAMN she is hot
I need to stop, she is already in a relationship and even if she's poly there's no way that anyone would want me as a partner, not after what I've done... Anyway
Heather Duke - I think I was the most wrong about her. I always saw her as just kind of there, no personality, just a servant to Chandler's bidding. I couldn't have been more wrong. What I saw back at school was just a front, just like the other two.
She's really caring, always offering me advice or help even when I don't ask for it, its like she can tell when I need help and is just there ready to offer it. She does this for her gfs too, helping them look at frustrating situations logically and work through a solution. She's not the most open person in the world, but she's there and willing to help. I can really admire this about her, I would've killed for someone like her when I was dealing with (the next word is scratched out to the point of being unreadable)
I've found myself really liking her videos too. I always imagined a channel talking about books to be rather boring, sure I like to read but how much is there to talk about? But I see the effort she puts into every video, the time spent rehearsing skits so they're funny and informing, the amount of research she does, it all astonishes me.
And what really surprises me is how funny she can be. Mac can be funny but its unintentional, with Duke its purposeful. Apparently she's played pranks on the others before, but its never mean-spirited or harmful, its something silly like putting her snake into Chandler's makeup cabinet. Chandler was upset for a little while but they all have a good laugh about it now.
I think I was wrong about the boob job too, I got a look at those things on accident and they are real and just so big
Heather McNamara - She's just so precious. She reminds me of her dog, they're both always just so happy and excited about everything and when I'm around her it seems to rub off on me. No wonder people call them twins.
But in all honesty, she's just been a really good friend to me. She asks about my day, listens to everything I tell her intently and even though its clear she doesn't fully get it she still tries to ask me questions. She's done her best to make me feel welcome in her home and that I'm wanted here, and while I don't feel that way just yet I appreciate the gestures.
She's also super affectionate, she's always holding someone's hand or arm and is usually having some kind of physical contact with her gfs or even me god I wish she would do it more it feels so nice to be
The blush forming on Mac's face is wiped as the diary is swiped out of her hands by a mortified looking Veronica
Mac tries to offer up an apology and explanation, but all she manages to get out is a unidentifiable noise before bolting out of the room and heading to hers, locking the door behind her
Veronica on the other hand, is terrified as the looks at the pages that Mac was reading
It was from early on in her time living with them, and the first time that she realized that her feelings towards the Heathers may be something a little more than friendly, and now Mac read all of that
A small part of her recognized that she was blushing while reading that and maybe there was some hope, but it was quickly shut down
She literally wrote in her diary about how she wants to fuck the three women who are already in a relationship, and after all they did for her
They were probably gonna kick her out of their home, but it didn't even matter, she deserved it after all she's done
She sunk to the floor, back against the door as she curled into a ball and began to cry
It was after about 15 minutes that Duke realized that she hadn't heard anything from Veronica or Mac in a while
For Veronica that's the norm, but for Mac going 15 minutes without seeing one of her gfs was unheard of, so she went to check up on her
Mac was lying down on her bed, face buried in several plushes
Duke went over to sit on her bed and rub her back as she asked what was wrong
Mac replied, her voice muffled by the plushes, 'don't wanna talk about it'
Duke became really concerned with this, Mac always would tell her or Chandler what was wrong, for her to refuse meant that this was a real bad fuck-up
She texted Chandler and within 30 seconds she bounded up the stairs and reached Mac's room, concern written on her face
After a bit of coaxing Mac sat up and faced them, and began to go on a tangent explaining that that Tweety got into Veronica's room and she knocked into her nightstand and her diary fell down and when she went to pick it up she saw that it was open to a page talking about them and she got curious and looked at it and it had some parts where she was talking about how she found them attractive and that she had been suspecting this for a while but this confirmed it and she wasn't able to apologize to her because she was so shocked and she probably hates them and and and
She bursts into tears
Eventually she is able to calm down and is able to slowly to explain to the other two what transpired
Once she gets over the initial shock Duke realizes that this was kinda obvious, but Chandler is dumbstruck, saying that she would've never seen this coming
The other two tell her that they love her but that she's oblivious as hell
They decide that Mac needs to go and apologize, but the question of what to do with this information is still up in the air, none of them sure how to approach the situation
Mac is the one to break the ice, saying that she would be open to the possibility of having Veronica join them
She says that she already lives with them, does everything with them, is in their videos, and people already suspect that she joined the polycule, it wouldn't be that much of an adjustment to bring her into the relationship
Duke and Chandler remain in thought for a minute
Duke is the first to respond, agreeing with Mac's assessment of things, adding on that Veronica is pretty cute
Chandler admits that they both make a compelling argument, but says that its a big step to go from friends to gfs, and they haven't talked this through or planned it, they're just rushing into things
She doesn't think her joining is a bad idea or even that she's opposed to the idea, she just doesn't think the time is right
Duke responds that they have to tell her something, they can't just go on like everything is normal, and they definitely can't tell her "we want you to join but not right now"
Chandler then asks 'then what are they supposed to tell her?'
Mac, getting frustrated, proposes just sitting down with her and talking it out, working with Veronica to plan out how things will go and help integrate her into the relationship
She goes on to say that it seems like they are in agreement that they want her to join or at least aren't opposed to it, but if she is going to join they need to treat her like an equal, that includes including her in their talks
The other two look a little ashamed that they had tried to have a talk about Veronica's future without her, but they brush that aside and head over to Veronica's room, only to hear the sounds of muffled sobbing
Thankfully this time her door is unlocked, but unfortunately she's also sitting against the door, so when it is opened she falls onto the floor, looking up at the Heathers who are all clearly concerned
She quickly gets up and wipes her eyes before asking what they wanted
Mac is the first to enter, sitting awkwardly on Veronica's bed before beginning to apologize for reading her diary without permission
Veronica had kinda forgot about that with the whole panicking about her secret crushes thing, but regardless she was still upset with Mac, and rightfully so
She told Mac that she had no right to look through her diary, even if the part she looked at was about her, the diary was meant as a place for her to write down her private thoughts and to have someone look through them was a major invasion of privacy
Mac had the decency to look ashamed of how she had acted before going on to promise to not even go in Veronica's room without explicit permission again
Veronica was satisfied with this, but she went on to question why the others were here
She already knew the answer but she wanted to hear it from them
Duke squirmed but eventually said that they three of them kinda sorta talked about what Mac saw in the diary
Veronica's blood turned cold as she heard the words, fearing for what comes next
Chandler, noticing the panic seep into her expression, told Veronica that there was nothing to worry about, a sentiment which only worried her even more
Noticing that she was on the verge of a panic attack, Chandler moved down onto the floor and pulled Veronica into a hug, sushing her cries
Duke and Mac then followed her lead, holding Veronica tight, apologizing for making her panic
Once she calmed down the Heathers went on to explain that while they didn't feel quite the same just yet, they would be willing to invite her into their relationship and give things a try, Mac interating her earlier points about how integrated into their lives she already was
Veronica was completely stunned
This was not the outcome she was expecting in the slightest, and it took everything she had to not start sobbing again
From there they went to the kitchen table and had a long talk, not too different from the one they had when Veronica joined the Heathers, about how their relationship worked and what was ok and what was not, but Veronica picked up on it really quickly
Chandler was surprised at how well Veronica was handling this, and reconsidered her previous belief that they weren't ready
Once that was settled, they declared themselves girlfriends and went to consumate the relationship *wink wink*
Of course they made a video telling their audiences the good news, with the consensus being 'it took them long enough'
Not much changed with the change in relationship
They still had videos to make and upload, sponsors to deal with, Veronica still had class, but she found herself feeling much better mentally
Combined with some advice from her therapist Veronica felt the best she had since before JD, and maybe even her entire life
**Line break**
But of course, something had to ruin that good feeling, and this time it was actually her fault
Veronica woke up one day to check her email, only to see a notification from Youtube notifying her that her channel had been taken down for Community Guidelines Strikes
No warnings were given, one day it was there, the next it was not
She just felt numb
Of course as soon as she gets something good, something else has to be taken away, she can't just be happy
Duke came up to greet her, joking that she thought she had slept in and was brining her come coffee, only to see the email spread across Veronica's PC
Duke's hand curled up so hard that the mug shattered in her hand and they had to rush to the ER to get her stitches
While that was happening the three of them sat in the waiting room (Chandler couldn't even be in the same room while they did that, she is terrified of needles), and discussed what they were going to do
Chandler was adamant that she would raise hell if they didn't reinstate her channel immediately
Mac added in that she would rally the other Youtubers and have them say the same, and that this was completely unfair and bullshit
Veronica just stayed silent, done with everything
Duke eventually emerged from the room, her hand covered in bandages and they headed home
Chandler and Mac filled Duke in on their plans, but she was more concerned about how Veronica was handling this, noticing the blue-clad girl staring silently out of the window
As they got home Duke puled her onto the couch and asking her what's up
"Asking" in quotations, she basically demanded that Veronica tell her the truth
Veronica eventually spit out about how unfair this all was, telling Duke all of the things she had thought about earlier
Duke heard all of this but quickly debunked it all, telling Veronica that of course she deserved to be happy and that happiness wasn't limited to just one area of life at a time
She also admonished that she could come to them for help, they were girlfriends and that meant that they were there for each other
Chandler quickly put out a video explaining that Veronica's channel had been taken down with no warning, before detailing her plan of action to deal with this
They were going on a Youtube blackout, none of them would be posting any content until Veronica's channel was re-instated, and she encouraged all their fans to not use the platform either
In the meantime they would do some streams on Twitch (link in the description below) so that they could get a fill of Heathers content
She also invited every other Youtuber to join them in the protest
Youtube quickly took the video down and put up a stattement saying that Veronica's channel had been taken down for violating community guidelines policy and would be staying that way, but none of them were deterred
Big name Youtubers joined, all refusing to interact with the platform
In just a week the site saw a 75% reduction in ad revenue with no signs of stopping, a move which scared the higher ups so bad that the CEO was ousted and many more upper management members were replaced, before it was announced that Veronica's channel would be re-instated
Seeing all this occur made Veronica come to a realization
She could trust her girlfriends
She's known that she has trust issues from what happened with JD, but didn't realize just how deep they go until this
She was ready to just give up on Youtube, not even considering the advice from her gfs, only doing so after Duke sat her down and forced her to do so
And why didn't she, she should've known that they want nothing but the best for her and just want to help
But in the end she was paralyzed with fear of what they were going to do, having absurd thoughts like them kicking her out of their house and breaking up with her, things that weren't even close to reality
But her girlfriends proved time and time again that they were people who could be relied upon and trusted and wouldn't just abandon her at the drop of a hat, and with that Veronica felt the anxiety that had made itself home in her chest since the day she met JD evaporate
As she walked into the room to record her welcome back video with her gfs, she smiled, envisioning the future the four of them would have together
This didn't turn out as well as I would've liked but I've been working on this for ages and I just wanted to be done with it lol

August 17, 2024 Since the beginning of July, I have watched and read about the topic of the Neil Gaiman allegations a lot - and as I have written before, I believe his victims, all of them. I have read several articles, listened to all the podcast episodes, I have read several posts on Reddit and here on Tumblr and watched an extensive video by "Council of Geeks" on Youtube. Some things came to my mind today. An author wrote about a conversation he had some time ago with Neil Gaiman about that Gaiman writes gay or queer characters so often and Gaiman allegedly replied that he writes queer characters because this sells well. (Sorry, I cannot find the source for this.) Well, if he really said that, it seems to me now he never was a real ally to the queer community, but rather tried to pink wash his books, comics, movie and series adaptions etc.
Another thing, in an interview I watched last year, Gaiman said that he finds the amount of fanfiction, fanart, cosplays etc about Good Omens "glorious". At the time I thought, awesome, a creative person who really appreciates the fandom and all the art the fandom creates. Today I think, well all this creativity may be merely a boost to his ego.
EDIT: With this I do not mean that you should stop writing fanfictions, creating cosplays or fanart. I was just wondering about how Gaiman views this art.

If you have been a fan of Babish Culinary Universe/Binging with Babish/whatever you want to call it for any amount of time now and just heard about him supporting the TERF Wizard Blood Libel Simulator Hogwarts Legacy, and are, reasonably, displeased and disappointed, PLEASE DO NOT:
- Click on the video to do whatever (dislike, comment, etc) if you found out the news through outside sources. This just gives him more views.
- Preferably, if you've clicked on it as a frequent viewer of the channel, and didn't expect to see that as a sponsor, do not watch any more of the video. YouTube has statistics for the average start and end times of viewers, the team will definitely know somethings up if a large portion of viewers just. Stop watching a few seconds in. You can dislike if you want, of course this hardly does anything unless people have plugins on their browser or use Vanced, but if you're already there pressing the..largely useless button is fine.
- Please refrain from commenting, at least more than once. Don't reply to anyone. This boosts it. Also, for your own health, don't doom scroll the comments. Babish's page has become a safe haven for bigots and TERFs who like to reply to like every comment telling people shitty, nasty, transphobic things. It's not fun, and it will hurt. Just don't look.
It's a really shitty scenario, yes, but we should do what we can to avoid boosting it any further than it already will be simply because of the popular subject (The Full English breakfast) and the amount of bigots flooding in to "support" Babish. It's hard, but we just need to accept that we lost one.
Other channels to watch (from my own subscription list);
- Adam Ragusea (he's just released a podcast where he stands firmly against Rowling)
- JunsKitchen
- Nino's Home (this one and imamu room don't have any real talking in them, just subtitles, but they are cozy)
- You Suck at Cooking
- imamu room
- Life of Boris (channel currently suffering and inactive, but a sizable backlog of easy to make recipe videos.)
- Atomic Shrimp (he also Scambaits!)
- J Kenji Lopez Alt
- Cooking Haru (ty @eganov I knew I was forgetting someone)
- How to Drink (more closer to Babish humour, but only does bartending/drink vids)
- Tasting History with Max Miller
- delicious day (like imamu room, Nino's Home, and Cooking Haru)
- 효뎡 Dyeong (more of a vlog, but still plenty of cozy recipes and cooking!)
-more to be added

i keep thinking about ocelot takarazuka i dont really see the influence like he just looks like a middle age guy with masc features manner and fashion so what do you think the artist actually meant? there's nothing feminine about ocelot like how does the "is that a man or woman" thing play in here cause i don't see it. He's not like raiden or raikov. He's just a guy 🧍♂️so how does the all female theatre thing apply
Hello Anon! Full, immediate disclosure, this answer is messy and disjointed. I probably don't even answer the question your asking end of the day, but I'll try my best.
I believe this is the post you're wondering about?
As I said in this earlier post I'm not a Japanese speaker, so I have to go on interpretation, and what has been offered by the translations available. I can't help but think there is going to be some sort of nuance missing as a result, but I'll do my best.
To start, I think you and I might have a slightly different view on masculine and feminine-to me the two concepts are pretty interchangeable, but I do understand where you're (probably, I don't know you personally after all) are coming from and that, no, Ocelot doesn't have many traditional 'feminine' characteristics.
You'll note that in the original post, Shinkawa refers to getting inspiration from the idea of 'women in their 40's (the age Ocelot almost is in MGSV)' and 'long, flashing eyelashes'. (My interpretation here is that by this, he means in the way long eyelashes that are considered sexy have an eye-catching flow to them. Sort of like how we can say 'fluttering lashes'. Intended to draw a person's gaze in, and command their presence).
Doing some cursory research tells me that the Takarazuka Revue (because Takarazuka is also a city in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.) is an all-female musical troupe located within that same city. Started in 1913, by Ichizō Kobayashi.
(I also got distracted by this version that is a performance of Casino Royale, so there's that)
Anyway, ahem.
"Kobayashi believed that it was the ideal spot to open an attraction of some kind that would boost train ticket sales and draw more business to Takarazuka. Since Western song and dance shows were becoming more popular and Kobayashi considered the kabuki theater to be old and elitist."
Throughout the article, there is also this;
"Takarazuka has had a profound influence on the history of anime and manga, especially shōjo manga.[27][28] Osamu Tezuka, a highly influential manga creator, grew up in the town of Takarazuka. His mother knew many of the Takarazuka actresses, and as a child he knew them and watched many of their performances"
I can assume that the performances have a lot of influence on media, and it's not uncommon for MGS to take inspiration. There could be an entire article on the things MGS takes inspiration from, even outside the most obvious like Escape from New York, character model bases, etc.
Cycling back to the original point, (there is also a video that exact post comes from, but I don't have the link on hand, on YouTube *no translations). I think that it's entirely possible Shinkawa took 'loose' inspiration, or a little more. I can see why and how he might've based Ocelot's look on the idea. (Loose shirt, tight pants, scarf open neck). But there is also the element of which Takarazuka is a performance, more than anything.
It's acting. Playing. Something Ocelot does all the time. Half of his time on screen, he's putting on some kind of performance. While this is something he does the least in MGSV, that never fully changes 100%. (And after all, he's also hypnotized for most of the plot). So there's a counter argument to be had that this is one of his greatest performances pre-MGS4. But that's a different post.
Ocelot presents/is masculine. But, he has longer eyelashes, his clothes are a little more 'free' than the standard military garb when he's allowed to choose his own outfit. (Again this is specifically MGSV Ocelot, though there's something to be said about his chosen attire being such a sharp 3 piece later on).
At the end of the day, maybe a way you can look at it is to say that, Shinkawa looked to Takarazuka when designing MGSV Ocelot to give him a sort of 'flow' to his looks. He was attracted to the idea of taking elements from Takarazuka, because Ocelot is a performer, and he sees some possibility for feminine additions in his looks *or* might've thought it more 'fitting' than Kabuki.
But again, I don't know if we see fully masculine and feminine the same way, (and maybe Shinkawa personally associates long eyelashes with sexy women; or women made up to look like men but with longer lashes) I can't know for sure myself. I think you would need a native or very good Japanese speaker to interpret it fully.
If I was to offer you a personal opinion-I can see it. I can see where there's a draw that one might have with the look, and where Shinkawa might've gotten said inspiration. But I am not entirely certain how to put that into words either? My perspective isn't going to be 1-to-1 of yours either.
Maybe someone else can interpret all this better than me, I definitely feel as if I've not done this justice at all. Because at the end of the day, I don't see a hard divide in masculine and feminine in Ocelot, but I think that you, Anon, see him as 100% masculine. But again, I can't speak for you and I am not sure.
#asks#answered asks#revolver ocelot#mgs#sorry anon this is probably the clumsiest ive ever answered an ask#i think there's too much thats open to interpretation to give you a clear cut answer like you might want but im not sure#maybe I'll come back to this later if i can think of a better way to explain it anon but i didn't want to leave you just hanging either#i also kept getting distracted by theater pictures so uh sorry about that#character posts: revolver ocelot

Bit of a different post, but Stampylonghead's Lovely World series came to an end today, and it truly is an emotional moment. Not just cause like for so many, he defined my childhood and was the reason I got Minecraft, but also because believe it or not, he was a huge influence behind this channel and why I run it it the way I do.
Part of what I love and respect about Stampy is that unlike other YouTubers, he does what he wants to. He never makes a video trying to cling on to the big current trend. He made videos about what he enjoyed and never cared how many subs or views he got. It saw his channel decline and others say he had a downfall, but he never complained or changed who he was to stay relevant. He stayed true to himself and his passions and if people watched him still, they did and if not, he was okay with that. It was quality, not quantity with him!
And that really is how I also try to run this channel. Gravity Falls isn't the big show it used to be, popularity wise and the channel's viewership lately is a good sign of that. And I could easily start making videos about other big shows airing rn or that get a lot of hype and it may boost the viewership, but I'm not. Because I love Gravity Falls and will stay true to it. IDC about views, I do this because I love Gravity Falls still and will make videos for it so long as I have a passion for it. Similarly to how Stampy stayed true to his passions and never changed to stay ahead.
That's a rare thing to see in YouTubers nowadays and why IMO he's one of the most genuine and respectable creators to ever come out of this site. He not only defined childhoods, but is a creator who truly stayed true to YouTube's original motto of Broadcast Yourself.
It's the end of a lovely era, and I hope him nothing but the best. He made this world a tad bit more lovely, with his own Lovely World🧡🤍

theres a youtube channel profiting off and lying about ai art and it's pissing me off
@/tendofarms on youtube uses ai art in the thumbnails and videos of their animal crossing compilation videos, claims it to be made by them despite also giving credit to a @/lumasi.png on instagram, who claims it's "a comission." this art is also being sold on merch on the channel's etsy account.
They haven't posted a video in 2 months but to see that they've made money through this scheme really pisses me off. Also the fact that they're attempting to decieve people by creating a fake artist on instagram who posts the ai art. They've attempted to say the art is a blend of original art made in photoshop/illustrator as well as the help of ai art. I dont believe this is true and im going to show your asses why
On their first video, they say
"my normal workflow so far has been to paint backgrounds, then get Ai to help with character design, i bring to photoshop to select my favorites, and put together something from my personal painting combined with my favorite Ai characters. Hope this clears things up :D"
The art in question:
and if you have no issues with it, here are MY issues with it
i'll pretend for a second that this person did make the backgroundand ignore the fucking surreal characters. sure. ok so what the fuck are these details. and also how did the ai manage to match your style so well? it doesnt have a backglog of years of YOUR work, does it?
On another video, they say
"a lot of illustrator/photoshop work went into this art. I used Ai to get ideas for composition and generate some character ideas, still some stuff i wish i improved but i think i got it to a decent final stage. Hope you guys enjoy the art and the mix <3333 love!!!"
the art in question with my notes.
The reason this particular post stands out to me is because in the DESCRIPTION of this video, they say the art was made by @lumasi.png on instagram. So when i go to their account and find this art, i see this
so, ok. was it a commission or did tendyfarms make it using a lot of illustrator/photoshop work. and if they ARE two different people.. wow their styles are so similar thats crazy /sarcastic as fuck
I would also like to point out that @/lumasi.png's first post, one that isnt featured in a tendyfarms video, also reeks of ai.
But maybe this isnt a big issue. Their etsy after all only shows that theyve made 16 sales, and their most popular views sit around 100k views, which probably isnt enough to even earn a stable living from, so who cares.
Just. as someone who listens to a lot of music from youtube mixes/compilations, who also makes art, i feel it's really fucking disrespectful to try and claim art as your own in a space where i go to try and relax or find new musical artists. and it's fucking rampant! i have to check each mix to see if using ai for the art, which i can only really see if i click on the video, giving them a small boost in stats. And if they arent using ai art? theyre probably stealing the art directly from an artist and not giving proper credit. Forget about asking the artist for permission, it's not like countless youtubers have explained how thumbnails are The Most important element of a video. Just go ahead and take someone else's work to give yourself some cash.
I know tumblr users hate generative ai already, but i'd just like to give a little attention to what youtube looks like, and to try and ask for more vigilance, more comments calling out the bullshit. I dont see a lot of comments at all on tendofarm's posts! or any mention of ai can be brushed away with "oh i used ai as well as drawing it myself" :/ you didnt buddy. you just didnt do that.
Idk what the right thing to do is, report their etsy? report their youtube? does either company care? maybe you can tell me
but i should probably say dont harass them. as much as i would like to. just try your best not to give retention to videos that shamelessly and ile about ai. Really look at the videos, really scrutinize if you can spare the time to. thanks
also. is it just me or do the cats in lumasi's pfp and this etsy reviewer's photo look the same. not sure what this could mean. up to you
#weasel speaks#ai artwork#call out#i guess. sorry that im making a damn call out post#ai art#controversy#discourse#ai discourse#ai generated#generative ai#lmk more tags in case people want to block seeing this kinda post. i dont usually post discourse
