alo! which do you think is the ideal couple for the horsemen? not ideal type, but the vision you might have (or had before reading the books) for a love interest in the guys’ storylines. in asked and answered 321, you said that winter was written to be damon’s love interest, not a character that happened to have damon as their love interest. and it got me thinking how do you see the ideal partners / significant others for the guys, taking into consideration how their arcs and stories unfold, and how much it might differ from their actual relationships. i don’t know if what i’m saying makes sense so you just can ignore this if you don’t understand 😅, and you can totally not include will (+ emory). no one’s better for the two of them than each other.

Heyy! This is a really interesting question. To start, I’d like to give credit to @urlocalrambler, as she was the one who originally posed the idea that Winter was written not as her own character but as a love interest, and I agreed because I see the merits of that point. She’s a better person to ask if you’re wanting someone to really break it down.

but the vision you might have (or had before reading the books) for a love interest in the guys’ storylines

I don’t remember having many, if any, preconceived ideas about Kai or Damon’s love interests before reading, though I did have a small one for Emory. Besides that, I tend not to hold on too tightly to ideas that I had before reading. I’m pretty open to new developments. It’s the headcanons I develop after reading that I hold tightly to.

For Winter specifically, I wouldn’t want to change her character entirely. I never had a problem with Damon’s love interest being sweet and soft. Fun fact: one of my favorite scenes in the entire series is in Nightfall, when on the train, Emory spies Winter and Damon in the kitchen. To me, that is the core of what they are and I truly love the scene as I see it in my head.

What I want for Winter is to have storylines apart from Damon that matter. Winter’s character and story is wrapped up in what Damon needs for his arc, and everything she does is to move his story forward. While Damon gets redemption, healing from trauma, becoming a father, finding a purpose, Winter’s story is all about how she fails to avoid falling in love with Damon.

We don’t get much insight to her relationship with her family. She's clearly framed as being (superior) different in morals and qualities, but apart from that, it's all about how her mother and sister see Damon as their savior despite what he did to Winter.

We don’t understand what drives Winter to do anything. Winter doesn’t even really seem to know herself for most of the book. Which is fine because she’s young, but her story isn’t really about finding herself either. It’s about accepting that she loves Damon despite it all.

Even Winter's dancing is still ultimately about Damon.

It's interesting, because you'd think Banks would suffer the most from this, since she likely didn't exist when Corrupt was being written. She was literally created to be Kai's love interest, but because she has storylines that are separate from Kai, she feels like a more developed character. Emory, too, while created in Corrupt, but likely developed later on, has things going for her that are separate from Will, which gives her more roundedness.

To summarize, I don’t think Winter needs to be a different person. There's no reason to make her completely different. I want to care about Winter’s story. However, because all of her storylines are actually about Damon, I care about him but I have no reasons to care about her. Which is unfortunate. But this is a me thing, though I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’d love to hear from someone who does see Winter as her own character and is willing to share their love for her. I’m open to interpretations.

Purple – Jegulus Microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 335 words

“Reggie! I have something for you. The moment I saw it, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I just had to get it,” Sirius said excitedly, catching up to Reggie and James on the street.

“What now?” Regulus mumbled exasperatedly. Sirius has been trying to shower him with gifts lately for no apparent reason.

Sirius handed him a large, neatly wrapped parcel. Reggie knew the only way to get rid of his annoying brother quickly was to open it and see what was inside. He immediately tore open the parcel. Regulus found a gorgeous cloak made of the finest silk inside.

“Thanks a lot, Sirius. It looks great,” Reggie said unenthusiastically. Although he loved the cloak, he was impatient for Sirius to leave to spend more time with his boyfriend.

“It’s purple!” Sirius pointed out.

“I see that,” Regulus responded curiously. He had no idea what Sirius was getting to now.

“It’s your favourite colour,” Sirius added brightly.

Before Regulus could respond, James answered from his other side, “No, it’s not. His favourite colour is brown.”

“Since when?” Sirius asked.

“Since always,” James stressed.

“That’s not true. Reggie hates brown,” Sirius countered from Regulus’ left.

“No, Reg loves brown,” came James’ response from the right.

Shutting up Sirius’ half-opened mouth with a sharp retort ready to go, Regulus said, “Brown is my favourite colour,” and then turned to James, “but it hasn’t always been so.”

Sirius and James gasped simultaneously from either side almost pausing Regulus’ heart.

“The cloak is beautiful Sirius and if that is all, you can leave,” Regulus declared trying to put an end to Sirius and James’ stupid quarrel and get back to his boyfriend again.

Sirius scoffed before turning away and finally leaving Regulus alone with James.

James whispered, “You’d look stunning in that cloak.”

“Thank you, James,” Regulus whispered back grinning.

“I bought it for you, Reggie. Remember that,” Sirius shouted interrupting them yet again. Regulus was going to murder his brother if he didn’t stop this nonsense soon.

౨ৎ aventurine x reader. fluff, gn!reader, aventurine is kinda annoying (affectionate) here — wc: 335

notes. i love aventurine did you guys know that

"aven... what are all these?"

that was the first thing you said when you arrived home. the kitchen table was full of bags, and you notice that some of them were either filled with snacks or what looks like items.

"surprise, love!" aventurine's head pokes out from who knows where. "do you like the things i bought you?"

"these are all for me? aven, i thought i told you to stop spending your money on useless things!" you sighed, shaking your head. "i told you to stop buying things for me, didn't i?"

"but they're not useless! look at this stuffed animal. looks just like you, right?" he lifts the bunny up to his face and shows it to you. "see?"

"there is nothing similar with me and the bunny! what are you implying?" you asked, patiently waiting for him to answer.

"it's because you two are cute!" aventurine exclaims, poking his head out from the side of the doll. "the bunny is cute, and so are you."

you let out a sound of embarrassment, placing your hand on your head, shaking your head. "you are so insufferable."

"it’s not my fault you’re so cute, now is it?" aventurine teases, poking your shoulder. he gently places the doll in your hands, quickly avoiding the slap you were about to give him. "what was that for?!"

"for being an annoying little shit." you deadpanned, throwing the bunny at his face. aventurine swiftly catches it, a small pout on his face.

"why would you throw this cute bunny for? she doesn't deserve it," aventurine dramatically says in a sad tone, hugging the bunny tight in his arms. "don't mind them, they're just being moody that's all." he pokes the bunny's nose and you cringed at the sight of it.

"never do that in front of me ever again, aven." you pointed out, walking away from the kitchen.

"ah- baby wait!" aventurine drops the bunny on the kitchen table, promptly chasing after you — most likely for cuddles.

14 Arrows💘2024 (FULL!)

Blind Dating Game🕯🍽🍷

Posting will occur on even-numbered days! (I have a fixation with even numbers, don’t judge me)

Pick your love song and your man!

The catch is…you won’t know who he is until the request is posted!

How to Play:

The reader is assumed to be female. Message me for other types of readers.

The target length of the post is however many minutes the song is: i.e. 3:35 song, 335-word drabble, but they’ll all most likely be extended because I am who I am🤟🏼.

14 readers will pick a number and I'll draw our lucky bachelors randomly using the random generator ❣️.

If requested, I'll make a list of female characters to spin from.

I will be including characters that aren't written about often + your favs🤪.

If you only want to spin for a certain fandom(s), let me know, otherwise, you’ll be picking from the whole list.

This is your date! Feel free to give plenty of details & labels for the reader (chubby, geek, athletic, red-haired, thick, black, POC, blue-eyed, curly-haired, etc.)

I control everything else 😈 (mention if you don’t want smut or certain types of content included, but I’ll be using your song as my main inspiration.)

Number picking will occur from today until all spots are filled. First come, first served! 14 spots ONLY!

Nothing against anons, but I’ll probably only answer 1 or 2 of you, to make it fair for others and make it more fun to see who got who!

Choose your number wisely, because that will be how many times I spin the wheel and you get who you get!

Don’t ask who you got; it’s a surprise!

Good luck on your date!😘😘

Posting begins February 2, 2024

(Keep an eye out for more content during February and March!💕💕)

💘Recap:

Send me your number.

I will spin the wheel _ times (whatever your number is)

Whoever I land on at the _ spin is your date.

If you get cold feet and want to cancel, please notify me so I can free up your spot!

-

He cracks his knuckles as he waits, rubbing his wedding band over and over out of nervousness. He was far from Bea now, he still had some time until his name was called but he had to…calm himself.

He inhales, looks out the door that shows the outside and his eyes lock on Beatrice’s head as she swivels it around in hopes to see him. She doesn’t, and Nicole notices her mother’s antics, choosing to do the same by climbing on her lap. 

Part of him still can’t wrap his head around…well…everything.

Beatrice was…the most amazing woman ever. Honestly, if someone ever told him what was his favorite thing about her he’d just say her whole self as an answer. Then the kids, fuck,he’s a father of three kids. Normally,if you were in the Military you’d have kids earlier because,well,you don’t know.

He counts himself so lucky to be able to have his kids after accomplishing so much.

His heart is full and his whole self is happy. What is it that Bea says? That his smile makes little wrinkles form on the corner of his eyes, like he’s the cartoon of a smiling sun. And fuck he feels like it a lot.

Rooster did so much, he achieved so much and yet his mind can’t handle the whole process. Yes,he’s happy with his promotion, yes he’s happy with his life. But…he was an angry young man for many years and he is working in his therapy sessions on how to make the child inside of him stop being so angry all the time.

Dr.Paulson asked once what made Rooster happy…and all he could think was his family. He has a loving family and loving friends he considers just as family. Hell,the Schiavoni’s too. They took him in seconds and he had to admit, it felt so good. Beatrice’s family was great, they made him feel at peace and welcome.

Maybe he should reach out to his aunt and uncle.

It’s been so long.

He…well,he never really had a close relationship with them but he could try right? This new step in his life is important and he knows a lot more will come…he had most of his father’s family here - in a way if you consider his family was the Navy and Mav.

Why couldn’t he have his mom’s?

He tried to remember if his aunt and uncle were ever against him joining the Navy and honestly, he couldn’t recall a point where it happened. He holds his clasped wrists in front of his navel, feeling the cold belt buckle touching the inside of his hand as he purses his lips.

Yeah, it’d be nice.

The kids would love it, the more the merrier…and,they were his mom’s siblings. They’d like to know about it,right?

But the fear of rejection still gnawed at him, the scars of his tumultuous upbringing still fresh in his mind. He couldn't help but wonder if his aunt and uncle would even want to hear from him, if they would be willing to forgive the mistakes of his youth.

But then he remembered Beatrice's words, her unwavering faith in him giving him the courage to face his fears head-on. 

She had always believed in him, even when he struggled to believe in himself.

 And now, as he sat there on the brink of a new chapter in his life, Rooster knew that he couldn't let his fears hold him back any longer.

He would reach out to his aunt and uncle, no matter how daunting it seemed. He would confront the ghosts of his past and lay them to rest, once and for all. He knows it’s the right thing to do, his mom would want that.

The murmurs of conversation ebbed and flowed around him, but Rooster's focus remained fixed on the stage, where the ceremony would soon take place. And his name was finally called.

Suddenly, a hush fell over the room as the Admiral stepped forward, his imposing figure commanding attention. Rooster's heart pounded in his chest as he watched Vice-Admiral Simpson approach the podium, his stomach churning with nervous anticipation.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the Admiral's booming voice echoed through the room, "It is my honor to announce the promotion of Lieutenant Bradley Nicholas Bradshaw."

As the Admiral spoke, all eyes turned to Rooster, who felt a rush of adrenaline course through him. This was it, the moment he had been waiting for. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves as he prepared to step forward.

"Lieutenant Bradshaw, please come forward," the Admiral called out, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife.

Rooster's heart raced as he made his way to the stage, his footsteps echoing in the quiet room. He could feel the weight of all eyes on him as he approached the podium, his palms sweating with nervousness.

His eyes immediately met Bea’s and she offered him a smile and a thumbs up, one that Nicole followed, giving him a thumbs up as well.

As Rooster ascended the stage, he stood tall and confident, his chest swelling with pride as he reached the podium.

"Lieutenant Bradshaw," the Admiral's voice boomed, "For your exemplary service and unwavering commitment to duty, it is my privilege to promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Commander."

The words echoed in Rooster's ears, sending a thrill of excitement through his veins. Lieutenant Commander Bradshaw. It had a nice ring to it, really nice. The whole room erupted in cheers and clapping, so much he almost couldn’t hear his own steps.

He stepped forward to receive his new rank insignia,he bit back the inside of his lower lip, inhaling shakily as the vice-admiral approached him. 

“Bradshaw.”

“Sir.”

Cyclone pinned the new rank insignia to his uniform, and Rooster let out a shaky breath he had no idea he was holding. “...thank you sir.” he whispers before Cyclone stepped back.

“...thank you,Bradley.” he then gestures ahead, “Now, your speech,son.”

His brown irises moved to the podium, his heart beating to hard he felt his whole body hurt.. Taking a deep breath, Rooster cleared his throat and began to speak. His voice was steady, his words measured as he addressed the gathered crowd.

"Thank you, Vice-Admiral Simpson, for this incredible honor," Rooster began, his voice carrying across the room. "I…am truly humbled and grateful to be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. It is a privilege to serve alongside such dedicated men and women in the Navy,”

“Woohoo!” Coyote shouts from the back and laughter erupts for a brief second into the room “And I am honored to continue my service in this new capacity."

He smiles, licking his lips before continuing. He pauses, tapping his coat only to see that his speech…was nowhere to be found. Alright. No panic…wing it.

Trust your gut.

"I…” he laughs softly, “I’ll admit I had a three pages speech planned, but I think no one here would want to stay that long,right?’ more soft laughter “...I…hm…” he taps the podium with his fingers, “I.. have so much to say, but I’ll make it…as short as possible.”

He licks his lips, then closes his eyes before continuing

"I want to take a moment to thank all of you for being here today," Rooster began, his voice steady as he addressed the crowd. "Your support means the world to me, and I am truly honored to have the opportunity to serve alongside each and every one of you." he smiles at the dagger squad, who just cheered him silently.

He paused, taking a moment to collect his thoughts before continuing. "I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my family," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "Without their love and support, I would not be standing here today." he smiles at Mav and Bea, “But…especially…to my wife.”

She smiles softly at him, one hand coming up to her lips.

“...without her.” he continues, not looking away, “Nothing of this would be possible. Nothing at all.” 

As Rooster continued his speech, he felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him. The words flowed from his heart, and Bea’s eyes filled with tears.

"She has been  my guiding light through all this," Rooster continued, his voice soft but filled with conviction. "Her support and unconditional love have carried me through the toughest of times, and I am eternally grateful for her presence in my life."

Beatrice's eyes shimmered with tears of pride as she listened to Rooster's heartfelt words. Her heart swelled with love for him,and she tried - and failed - to hold some of the tears back.

“...I also,” he clears his throat, “I’m almost done,I promise,” he chuckles in hopes to calm his own tears down. He pauses…then ducks his chin to his neck, clenching the podium with both hands and looking up in time to sniffle quietly, “...I also…also want to…thank my parents. As…as some of you know, they aren’t here- couldn’t be here, unfortunately.” he rolls his tongue inside his mouth, “But,without them I wouldn’t be here.”

 "And to my dad," Rooster continued, his voice thick with emotion, "I hope I'm making you proud up there. I miss you every day, but I carry your memory with me in everything I do."

Tears welled up in Rooster's eyes as he spoke, his emotions raw and unfiltered. He glanced over at Beatrice, her eyes shining with tears of her own, but she nodded for him to go on.”

"And to my mom," Rooster added, his voice catching in his throat, "Thank you for your love and sacrifice. You've always been my biggest cheerleader, and I wouldn't be here without you."

Rooster's words hung in the air, the weight of his emotions palpable as he spoke.

"Finally," Rooster said, his voice firm with resolve, "I want to thank my fellow service members. You are the backbone of our Navy, the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to keep everyone safe. It is an honor to serve alongside each and every one of you, and I am proud to call you my brothers and sisters in arms."

A round of applause filled the room as Rooster finished his speech, the sound echoing off the walls in a chorus of support and admiration. He stepped back from the podium, his heart pounding with emotion as he took in the faces of the crowd.

He sniffles, quickly wiping his eyes as he made his way back to his seat.He had poured his heart out to the people who mattered most to him, and he hoped he did a good job.

Beatrice gave Nicole to Mav and immediately rushed up to meet him halfway, hugging his torso and letting him bury his head on her neck, “You did so good.” she whispered, rubbing the back of his head, clenching her eyes when he shook,trying to hold his sobs back in the middle of the crowd, “Baby you did so good, so good.”

"Thank you," Rooster whispered hoarsely, his voice barely audible over the din of the crowd. "I couldn't have done it without you."

Beatrice squeezed him tighter, her own emotions bubbling close to the surface. "You were amazing up there," she murmured, her voice choked with emotion. "I'm so proud of you."

Rooster pulled back slightly, his eyes searching hers for reassurance. "Do you really think so?" he asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Beatrice nodded, her eyes shining. "Absolutely," she replied, wiping her own tears quickly. "You spoke from the heart, and everyone could feel the sincerity in your words. You touched so many people today, Roos."

A small smile tugged at the corners of Rooster's lips, a flicker of pride breaking through his lingering self-doubt. "Thank you," he said softly, his gratitude shining in his eyes.

Beatrice reached up to brush away a stray tear that trailed down Rooster's cheek, her touch gentle and reassuring. "You don't have to thank me," she said with a small smile. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

Rooster's smile widened at Beatrice's words, a rush of warmth flooding his chest. He leaned in to press a tender kiss to her forehead, his heart overflowing with love for her. "I don't know what I'd do without you," he murmured.

Beatrice returned the kiss with equal tenderness, her heart swelling with affection. "You'll never have to find out," she whispered, her voice soft but firm. “Come on, let us sit down, yeah?”

Rooster nodded, holding her hand as she guided them back to their table. Nicole bounced on Mav’s legs, reaching for her father, “Dada!”

Nicole's enthusiastic cries of "Dada!" brought a smile to Rooster's face, his heart swelling at the sight of his daughter reaching out for him. He scooped her up into his arms, planting a kiss on her cheek as she giggled with delight.

"Dada, abuhehu good!" Nicole exclaimed, her eyes shining with adoration. 

Cue to her wet kiss on his cheek.

Rooster's heart melted at Nicole's words, his chest swelling with love for his daughter. "Thank you, sweetheart," he murmured, pressing another kiss to her forehead. "I’m so glad you think so.” he looks over at the twins who were now wide awake inside their strollers

“Well,” he begins, “...the night just began,right?”

An ounce of regret

Teen Titans!Dick Grayson x Wilson!Reader

I FINALLY MADE A PART TWO TO SLADE’S DAUGHTER!

Part 2 of Slade’s Daughter

Summary: While looking for her father y/n gets caught by some of her mothers henchmen. Now the Titans and Slade have to work together to get her back.

Robin’s POV~

It’s been 336 hours, two weeks, since y/n and i fought. 335 hours since she left for good and destroyed all my information on finding her father. 334 hours and 40 minutes since the Titans found out. 334 hours and 20 minutes since we all lashed out at each other. 333 since we all decided to calm down and talk it through. And 332 hours and 35 minutes since we came to the conclusion of disbanding.

The Titans were already treading on thin ice with each other for some weird reasons nobody could really remember. Guess y/n leaving was finally the straw that broke the camels back, the thing to make the whole team collapse. She was the glue holding this team together, without her? We all fall apart.

I wish I could take back some- no, all of the words I said to her. I feel terrible and I just want her back in my arms and back with the team, eating victory pizza, or playing video games and getting interrupted by villains terrorising Jump City.

I hate the reason I even got petty and started the fight. All because she wants her fathers tracker back in her arm so he can protect her. I should have just put it back in without being an asshole, I know her farther can protect her better than me, but I let my pride and ego get in the way.

I’ve been trying to get ahold of the trackers coordinates, at least to see if she was somewhere safe, but it seems that Slade must have encrypted it somehow. Either that or something terribly bad has happened to her. I couldn’t imagine her being in any serious trouble, in need of help, and I can barely do anything.

The security system went off as the tower’s main computer received a call. I pressed the answer button.

“Slade…”

“Hello, Robin. It’s been awhile.”

“Where’s y/n? Why isn’t her tracker working?”

“That’s what I called for. Y/n’s seems to have been destroyed. I think her mother has her.”

“Then why haven’t you done anything!?”

“Because, as much as I hate to say this… I will need the Titans’ help. Her mother has requested help from Red X, and now they’re working together.”

“I’ll get the others. When are we going to save her?”

“Meet me at this location in one hour.”

He sent the coordinates and I forwarded them to the Titans, explaining that we need to help get y/n back.

~

We all met at the location that was sent out. The Titans didn’t seem like talking to me, but Raven asked what we were going to do to get her back. I didn’t tell the about Slade yet so they were all shocked when cut my answer off as appeared from the shadows.

“We need to infiltrate m/n’s base.” He continued to explain the plan to us as we were scouting out the base from our hiding spot across the road from the base.

~

Our plan of sneaking in and quietly taking y/n without minimal fighting guards had failed so far. Beast Boy and Cyborg high-fived too loud when we got to the room that y/n tied up on a chair in.

The high-five alerted all of the guards and they were closing in around us. We all started fighting, I quickly knocked out someone as a different person caught my attention.

Red X came running toward me and tackled me to the ground. I punched his nose and kicked him off of me. We both immediately got back up and continued fighting. Luckily for us his gadgets weren’t working because he is out of the power supply for them.

With one last uppercut he fell to the ground and my sight locks in on y/n. I rush over to her side to untie her but my hands went through her and her body started glitching. It’s a hologram.

y/n’s POV~

I readied my bow and aimed at Robin I then signaled to RedX that I was locked on Robin and ready to take the shot. He jumped down to the rest of the Titans ready to attack but a sword pierced his torso.

Since when was my dad willing to work with the Titans? I gasp and accidentally fired my bow, the arrow going through Robins shoulder. Shit! I quickly ran into another room and threw my bow on the ground in frustration.

A figure came through another door with their arms crossed, she shook her head and spoke, “I’m disappointed, you had the shot on him, on the boy who hurt you, why did you miss. If you were truly my daughter you wouldn’t have missed.”

“No, no. Please I’m still your daughter, let me make it up to you. Please. Don’t stop being my mother. I need you to be here, what can I do to make it up to you?” She looked at me with disgust.

“You can stop whining like a little bitch for starters. Look how desperate not having a mother made you, you’ll do anything just for me not to abandon you again.” She chuckled and threw a knife at my head.

I dodged the knife and caught it, I threw it to the other side of the room as she got into a fighting stance. l didn’t want to fight, I got into a defensive stance. She swung at my face but I blocked it, she then tried to kick my legs out from underneath me but I blocked that too.

“Mother, please. Stop!” She punched my eye then kicked my ankle. I let out a loud scream as she stabbed me in the stomach. She pulled out the knife and pushed me to the ground as the door got kicked down.

“Don’t you dare hurt my daughter.” My father was the first to enter the room and lunge at my mother. The Titans were in fighting positions ready to assist, besides Robin who instantly ran to me and kneeled at my side.

“Y/n, hey, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry my love.” He ripped off a bit of his cape and held it on my stab wound. He wrapped his other arm around my shoulders. “I am so sorry. I wish I could take back what I said. I’m sorry I love you so much.” He kissed my cheek and I smiled up at him.

I went to apologise for the things I said but he shushed me. “Save your energy.” I looked down and saw that I had lost a fair bit of blood, a puddle on the ground where I was laying and on Robin’s suit. His green glove had almost completely turned red, I let out a really faint chuckle.

“Hey, stay with me now.” My vision was darkening and he looked into my eyes. I smiled up at him as my vision fully clouded into black.

~

I woke up later in my father’s safe-house. I was in the med room and he was checking my vitals next to me.

“Thankfully, you are my daughter, so you healed rather quickly. I’m glad you okay.” He gave me a hug. “The Titans are at the tower if you want to go now.”

“Are you sure? Wouldn’t you want me at a closer distance now?”

“I trust you’ll be safe with them. Mainly Robin.”

~

I walk out of the elevator in the tower and immediately greeted by hugs and warm welcomes. I look at Robin and smile, a tear ran down my cheek and he wiped it with his thumb. He kissed me on the lips, disgusted sounds came from the other Titans as well all walked to the large sofa.

GITJ Post 335: A Saturday at Melissa's, p10 (8pm, Dr. J)

“Oh good you’ve got him out of his wet stuff. Laundry going. Is he still sleeping?” I heard someone ask.

“No…he’s just waking up…”

“Ooo he’s shivering,” said someone else, “Get him off that cold floor.”

…

It had taken me a few minutes to start to come to. I’d begun to drift back to some form of consciousness, laying there on the tile floor of the laundry room, downstairs in the house. Immediately I was chilly. What had happened? Last I’d remembered I’d been…what? Swimming in the pool, I think, with the girls. Melissa had come home, right? Had I been in the hot tub? Wow…what was wrong with me? My hair was still sort of wet, and a beautiful girl in a black bikini knelt on the floor alongside me.

“Your boxers are in the dryer, sweetie,” it was told to me, as I was obviously confused as to why I was wearing…nothing? Someone had stood me up, supporting me from behind. My cock swung between my legs, and I was nowhere nearly as concerned as I should have been about my nudity among clothed women.

“Let’s get you to the couch…”

Strong perfumes. Really strong. 

Already I’d been moving on my feet, helped to walk by three girls now. They were all so much taller than me, and as I slowly became more aware I could smell that it was Randi, Aubrey, Lakshmi. Did I say ‘smell’? I meant see. Feel. Hear. Taste. I felt thickening, throbbing.

“Someone’s at the door!” someone else called, as I realized I was now in a small crowd, women all around me in the great room. Was Melissa here? 

“Probably delivery,” someone else answered.

I was chilly after swimming, wearing nothing. Bathing suits, still, on most of the girls. New ones had arrived, clothed casually for a Saturday night in amongst friends. My shuffling feet were on dry ground, but my head still swam. I needed to sit down, I needed-

As if aware of my anxieties and needs, the crowd parted. 

“Oh, you're shivering sweetie, come here,” Melissa beckoned from the couch, outstretching her arms to me, “Sit down…”

In that moment I couldn’t imagine doing anything other than what she said, her lap beckoned to me and it was all I could focus on. All eyes in the place were on me, several guiding sets of hands on my back and shoulders, and Melissa’s smile and thick thighs drew me towards her like magnets. She was still in her blue bikini which suddenly became a blur as I was  spun around, to sit on her lap facing outwards. 

Immediately I was pulled, nuzzled in, and embraced with musical approvals from all around me. Struggling to find warmth, I wrapped my arms around the strong arms encircling me, “There we go,” she cooed from behind me, “cuddle back up against the body of the big giant lady.” She giggled, and her enormous breasts squashed into my upper back, warm, and I felt a new wave of perfume settle over me like a blanket, obscuring reality even further from me. Was this a dream? Was I really naked?

“Ooo he looks like a little boy, sitting like that Missy, hugging your arms,” came Josie’s voice. 

“Look at him getting hard again, already…”

“Lakshmi help me warm him up,” I heard Melissa say. I then watched as olive-dark skin, the upper back of one of my medical assistants, closed in on me.The next thing I knew-

Oof.

“You’re too heavy!”

“You’re squashing him Kiki!”

Giggles of laughter. A dark brown girl on my lap, a softly enormous rear, sandwiching me. Sitting next to us, now, someone else. Blonde? I glanced over; I recognized her, and she told me to breathe. Y’know how the smell of chlorine on a warm body can be sexy? I was surrounded by sexy. With the smell of it, mixed with so much perfume, the cooing voices, the warmth of all these bodies and the massive butt wriggling into my lap…the chill from the pool was forgotten. My arms draped across the broad hips of the girl in my lap now and I felt Melissa’s hands in my wet hair, rustling it dry. I groaned. 

The girls laughed again. 

“Do you feel drunk, sweetie?” Melissa asked from behind me, as I admired the supple musculature of Lakshmi’s exposed back, the contrast of her light blue swimsuit against her deep honey skin, “Sorry, but it’s all the perfume. I wanted all the girls to make as much as they could, just for this little while. We want to get you all settled…”

“We to becoming your family…” said the blonde. 

“..we have to protect you…” spoke someone else. 

“…Daddy,” cooed Lakshmi, looking down at me over her shoulder.

Melissa giggled again from behind me, and pulled me tighter in, by the shoulders. If I’d been uncertain of all their intentions before they sat me down, now I no longer needed to wonder. Melissa wanted me surrounded, encased, cocooned. Warmed up and made to feel safe and protected. I now had a new appreciation for how little clothing we all wore - me none at all - as I  felt the back of my legs rub against her thighs and the thinly spongy material of her bikini on my back. Exposed skin - hers, mine, Lakshimi’s, the blonde to our right - was everywhere. It was so comforting, so soft and perfectly smooth. It beckoned me to lean and snuggle back against it, my face now turned and my right cheek in between Lakshmi’s shoulder blades. I breathed her in, my air and oxygen was all them. I felt a dumb, drunken smile on my face. This was all an invitation to be enveloped, one that I was given little choice but to accept. Everytime I leaned forward Melissa’s massive hand would press against my chest, pushing me back against herself.  “Watch your posture, baby,” she told me. 

I mumbled something in assent, and struggled best I could not to rut up into Lakshmi’s massive rear. I asked, I think, what was happening, if I’d blacked out in the pool. I couldn’t really remember what went down, and didn’t really understand what was going on now. The girls laughed me off, many drawing closer in around us. 

“It doesn’t matter too much, does it sweetie?” Melissa purred. 

“We’re all here…”

“Your baby girls…”

“Bikini bunnies…”

“Big boobie breasts…”

I could feel all their perfumes in my nose mouth throat lungs like sweetness permeating me my lungs my blood my heart and my mind. Like gentle hands fingers holding me by my braiin, molding me my will my self. Melissa cooed into my ears, stroking me, and I may, I thinkk, I dunno maybe unnngh just came, up in betweeeen the swells of Lakshmi’s big big big rolling butt as it rubbed me into my own belly. 

Oooooooo came all the voices, and I swear she just got heavier. I shuddered, and collapsed. I nearly fell asleep again, against Lakshmi’s back, Melissa’s breasts behind me. Someone took my hands, drew them around Lakshmi’s waist. 

“I should go, guys…” I heard the blonde to our right say, “it totally like they know someone hungry.”  

I turned, drunkenly, placed my left cheek now against Lakshmi’s back, and saw it was Katarina to our right. Blue bikini, swollen pale breasts that looked  - I must be imagining things -  like I could actually see them filling up, gland lobules, veins pulsing.

“You’ve been drinking wine,” someone said to her, “It’s not like you can save it. Go pump ‘n’ dump.”

Someone was whispering in Katarina’s ear. 

“Sushi!” I then heard someone call.

“Omigod I’m so hungry,” Melissa said from behind me.

“Me too..!”

Mmmms and ahhhhhhs and mmmhmmmms greeted the food as it was taken from bags, as containers were opened, first set on the large coffee table in front of us. 

“Are you hungry sweetie?” she asked. 

Yes but no. Fish? Not really. The girls giggled at my scrunched-up face of disgust. 

The blond Katarina was gone, replaced by another blonde - Katie. Lakshmi was now off my lap and seated alongside to our left. Aubrey was bringing Melissa some food and gently I was laid down, across three laps, so the girls could eat above me. My head was resting on Lakshmi’s big right thigh, most of my torso was across Melissa’s legs, and my own thin legs settled over Katie’s shapely ones.

“You don’t mind if we use you like a plate do you?” Randi asked, as she set down a small container of cucumber rolls on my chest. Another joined it, put on my belly by Aubrey. 

“Shh don’t move,” Josie urged, as she came over with more sushi, “Stay still.”

Before I knew it, the three of them - Josie, Randi and Aubrey - all in swimsuits, were setting up sushi on my body. Some still in trays, but some just bare onto my skin. My chest, my shoulders and hips and legs were all being used as a human platter: maki, nigiri, sashimi. I was covered, head-to-toe in their dinner. If at first they barely registered that my belly was slick in come, that it ran down my flank, it was now pointed out by Lakshmi as she picked up a salmon uramaki and slid it through my stickiness. 

“Eat it,” Josie urged. 

Mmmmmmm came the whole crowd as she did. I shivered, despite myself - and they set on me like hyenas. 

They were using my seed as their sauce, my body as their platter. Rice, fish, vegetables. Chopsticks, fingers. Some girls ate right off me, taking a mouthful with a kiss. I was frozen, paralyzed, perfume-drunk and groggy. My cock was soon in a mouth, inexplicably hard again. Were pictures being taken? Tongues were underneath me, lickings of my skin and sac. 

I looked up, at one point, just to watch Melissa eat. I was erect,  throbbing, sheathed in a mouth. My vision was swimming but Melissa spoke to me gently and casually as she ate, making it a point of swallowing so that I could see her throat muscles working and focus on them as I began to come again, with a moan. I felt vague heat, pleasure, warmth and of course my needs as I watched her swallow. Melissa and the girls having taken control of my consciousness. And even that faded to white as I spurt up into some eager, waiting mouth and drifted into, I think, a nap, laying there, feeling thighs underneath me swell.

I returned, after a bit, even more disoriented. I was the human platter still, spent, hearing someone say that the cat wanted to come in. 

“Oh good, let her in,” Melissa said, “She’s been gone a while.”

And then I passed out 

I woke again and I was being cleaned, soft cloths, warm cloths. They were gently washing me. I was naked, still across three laps, but now I had a thin white towel over my hips. 

“You’re noticing how all the girls are being extra nice, aren’t you?” Melissa asked, as the others looked down at me with indulgent eyes, brown and deep, crisp and blue, a crowd of beautiful women. 

“Y-yes I, uh…”

“Do you like it?”

“I…I do,” I answered. 

Laughter lightly shook my body. And it wasn’t my laughter.

I was being sat up, still on Melissa’s lap, and I was being handed a drink. Soda? Or beer? It had bubbles, and when I looked at it my stomach turned. ‘What´s the matter?’ ‘Is something wrong with your drink?’ ‘Do you want me to go get you a new one, honey?’ ‘Do you want to choose a different type of drink?’

A disapproving cat was on the couch, behind Melissa’s shoulders, slinking about the crowd, eyeing me with disdain. 

Katarina had returned, and blankly I was noticing that she, standing, was in the center of a little group. She held a big, pink mug and was letting others drink from it. Invariably they laughed, or gasped, or nodded when taking their sip, speaking among themselves. Katarina had changed, now in a long robe of soft white terry cloth likely borrowed from the house. She was now being urged towards me. 

I looked up at her, 

“You should try it, Dr. J,” someone called. 

“It’s so good,” said another. 

With that, and with a soft, knowing smile, Katarina crouched down alongside me, where I still lay but was being propped up by Lakshmi. I gaped at her large breasts through the open front of her robe. The big pink mug, which read something across it and was also a likely fixture of Melissa’s mother’s home, was being offered to me. “Drink up,” I heard Melissa encourage from above and once again I felt compelled to comply, feeling like there was nothing else I would rather do.

The mug was at my lips, and I was drinking milk, warm milk. It was sweet with oligosaccharides, globular fats and lactose. A particular glycome, and it was-

“Oooo look at your little milk mustache!”

“Katarina he’s got you all over him”

So good…tastes good

Drink more.

“Omigod he likes it!” Josie sang, and as the mug was pulled from my lips I looked up and saw Shanette and Melissa sharing a secret glance…

First DLC Playthrough Thoughts

It's awesome. Amazing. More of Elden Ring and often the best of it all. The world is epic in every way and all I could ask for. Wild bosses and creature designs galore, crazy puzzles and dungeons like the best of my favorite Zeldae, creepy lore surprises and so on.

I spent about 40 hours doing most of the stuff there was to do, including 9/10 of the main bosses and a few of the dragons (not the big one yet). It took about 80 hours to 100% the main game so I would really say this is about half its size if not even slightly more.

The difficulty was very high. I have most of the shadow blessings and played the DLC from level 335-345. I am not great at FromSoft as my reflexes are fairly slow, so I usually grind high to levels to compensate. I did so here and had only a few truly frustrating moments, all of which I came back to later. Only a couple puzzles required going online and those look-ups were justified when I realized how absolutely impossible to guess the solutions were.

I have yet to collect of a few trinkets and defeat the hardest 2 bosses, and will likely do so later on. Also never defeated any flame baskets. I should note I have never beat Manus or the Orphan of Kos, so I've never actually finished a FromSoft DLC. I think someday I will do this one, but for now it wouldn't be too fun so I'm stopping for a while with the memory of an absolute joy of gaming and not pushing it.

I have no real negative criticisms. It has fewer really nasty frustrations and impossibilities than even the main game, and though I'd like to have learned more about a couple non-present characters, the lore they added was epic there's no real complaint beyond personal taste.

Looking forward to the videos and lore discussions and returning to the game once I know of more stuff to do and try. Always happy to talk about it with anyone, answer questions, and give subtle hints about stuff if people want that instead of looking stuff up.

Enjoy your playthroughs!

[away-ward]

I'm so curious about your favourite books (dark romance and otherwise) outside of the devils night series? Are there any other dark romance series that have stood out to you like devil's night? Any standalone that you liked?

Hey!! I wish I had something for you; a long list of recs that we all lose our minds over. That’s the best part of reading and fandoms is the community.

Unfortunately, I don't really.

Devil’s Night caught me at a weird time, when I was going through something. I read a lot of dark romance fanfics when I was an unsupervised teenager with unlimited internet access, and sort of got over it after a while. After I finished DN, I still had time left on my KU subscription, so I tore through a bunch of what was offered. None of it sticks out now, and it’s been a few years since then.

But for you, I went through my old kindle account. These are in no particular order, just as I found familiar names that I've read various series/books from:

Monica Murphy LJ Shen S. Massery Elle Kennedy Saffron A. Kent Callie Hart Sav R. Miller Selena

There's probably a few others that I didn't find, and several authors that I tried but ultimately didn't like anything I picked up enough to finish. I hope that helps, however vague it is.

There is one series that still comes back to me from that time, other than DN. I’ve spoken about it before, but it’s the Crown Pointe series. I would technically call it a dark romance, because of it’s tropes, but I know much darker things are published daily on KU.

Heartless Hero and Stolen Soulmate are great, and I honestly wish that DN’s writing and plot development were similar to Crown Pointe. CP, in general, uses its pages and time to serve the plot and characters better than DN, in my opinion. In CP, after every interaction between the main characters, I knew something had changed or progressed in some way. Even the sex served to change the dynamics, either to the reader or the characters, which made it feel more useful to the story, rather than just shoved in because it’s what’s expected.

(as a bonus point, the couple in Stolen Soulmate is interracial. I know some people were complaining about that with DN.)

The thing that CP lacks that DN has is an interesting cast of characters. I like the main characters for each book well enough. There were some minor characters I would like to get to know better. There were plans for those characters to get their own books, but they were never published for some reason. As you can probably tell, because my conversations about DN usually circle around character relationships and dynamics, interesting characters and plot are more important to me than the overall romance.

I’m currently reading A Walk to Remember. A friend said that the ending is different than the movie. I think it’s probably just their interpretation. Still, I’m reading to find out if I feel the same. So far, I much prefer the movie to the book. The updated setting, the changes made to the characters, and how they interact and progress are more engaging and, honestly, make more sense. As it is, the movie took the basic premise and characters names. But we’ll see. Maybe my thoughts will change. It’s my first Nicolas Sparks and I think it’ll probably be my last.

A few weeks ago, I finished a re-read of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I was once again struck by how successfully the author was able to convince me of the close, lifelong friendship between the four girls, while keeping the focus on Vivi, and her eldest daughter, Sidda, front and center. The movie doesn’t do it justice. Last year sometime, an anon that went by Z asked for stories that featured female friendships, and I still hold this one up as a good example.

Below is a scene that made me want to read the first time the Horsemen were arrested. Was Will excited? Kai stressed? Damon annoyed? Did their dad's fight in the Thunder Bay police station lobby? Was Martin just a baby cop?? Give me all the moments.

But I'm also really fond of this scene on its own.

Don’t know what I am going to read next. I’ve debated before about whether I should post more about what I’m reading or watching. I know that the followers I have are here for DN stuff, though I never meant to limit it to that. As the DN fandom goes quiet on tumblr, I question whether it’s a good time to archive this blog, and leave it as it is. I’d keep it active, but only as a collection of Devil’s Night stuff. Or if I should divert to other topics as I go.

Since you’re following for a reason, I’ll ask you. Keep in mind, if I really wanted to spend the time building a new blog for what I'm reading, I will. It's not a huge deal.

Thanks for reading this far. I know it went way of track, as I usually do. I love talking, after all.

And I appreciate the question, even if my answer isn't much of an answer.

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

She thought for a moment and decided to try.

Lena watched as a wave of energy emanated from Elsa. First it was Anna, who no longer looked like she was on the edge of freezing to death. The ice grey in her hair gave way to the usual fiery ginger. Then the snow stopped and the ice in the fjord started to melt.

On Baffin, the Bridge had been quiet after Emerson had followed Frigga into the Observation Lounge.

“Something’s changing. Temperatures in Arendelle are now rising.”

Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora

After having lunch at the coffee house cafeteria, Olivia headed back to the Library. She found a nook with several reading desks next to the Main Western Entrance. She looked over her neat notes from the morning. She was thankful that she could usually read her own notes. ‘There is not much there. This will probably take years.’ That was probably why it wasn’t widely known. Aurora’s history was so vast that the occasional lost record wouldn’t be noticed.

Excerpt from: Gwen Stacy and the Small Town Spider Person

“At least four vigilantes,” Gwen considered.

“You must be new to town,” the girl behind the counter said.

“Yes, just got in from New York. I haven’t kept up on the news in this area. Could you tell me about this SpiderGirl?”

“I get off in ten minutes. I could tell you then.”

Gwen and her new acquaintance, Nikki, left the news stand. “Come, I’ll take you to the Historia, my treat.”

“Historia?”

“It’s a café, bookshop and theater, and it’s run by teens.”

“Really?” Gwen asked.

“It’s a long story.”

The Historia was busy when Nikki and Gwen entered. “This is busy,” Nikki said.

“You may as well tell me,” Gwen said.

“SpiderGirl first appeared last November as Lawndale’s first superhero.”

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn

SpiderGirl hung upside down, as she usually did when hanging from an eave, and looked into the café. She saw that Daria and Jane were there. ‘I don’t see Peterson. But how to get Jane’s attention without drawing Daria’s?’

She then looked around at the café where Daria and Jane weren’t looking. ‘Got it, Jennifer! I can ask her to tell Daria and Jane!’

Jennifer Burns was sitting by herself in a corner of the café when she felt a tapping on her shoulder. She was startled and turned to find SpiderGirl hanging upside down from the ceiling next to her. “Ah! SpiderGirl!”

SpiderGirl made a shush motion, putting her finger over where her lips were hidden beneath her mask.

Jennifer sighed. “Yes?” she asked quietly.

“Meet me up on the roof, quickly. I want you to tell you something.”

“Why? Why not someone else? What are you hiding?”

“I have my reasons,” SpiderGirl answered. “I’ll see you up there in a minute,” she added before crawling away on the ceiling and into the Historia’s HVAC system.

“Fine!” Jennifer said as she got up.

SpiderGirl looked around at Lawndale as she waited for Jennifer on the roof. ‘I’d likely have better chance of finding William from there,’ she thought as she glanced at the Giant Strawberry. She heard the door open and turned to find Jennifer winded from having ran up the stairs.

“What is it?” Jennifer asked.

“Ninja Talon and I heard at school that there was a boy who was trapped by his parents.”

“You mean that boy who was leaving love letters at Mr. Morgendorffers’ grave?”

“Yes. The news reached us as our secret identities,” SpiderGirl answered. It wasn’t strictly a lie. She and Talon had spread William’s story around the school so that as many people as possible knew about the situation. ‘Just as well it came in helpful.’

“So, did something happen?”

“Yes. Something happened when he was brought into the daylight and he’s now dangerously loose on Lawndale’s streets.”

A link to my personal reading of the Scriptures

for the 30th of november 2024 with a paired chapter from each Testament (the First & the New Covenant) of the Bible

[The Book of John, Chapter 1 • The Book of 2nd Samuel, Chapter 6]

along with Today’s reading from the ancient books of Proverbs and Psalms with Proverbs 30 and Psalm 30 coinciding with the day of the month, accompanied by Psalm 70 for the 70th day of Astronomical Autumn, and Psalm 35 for day 335 of the year (with the consummate book of 150 Psalms in its 3rd revolution this year)

A post by John Parsons:

"See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of bitterness (שׁרֶשׁ פּרֶה) springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is immoral or profane like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears" (Heb. 12:15-17; Gen. 27:38).

The LORD says, “my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters (מְקוֹר מַיִם חַיִּים), and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water” (Jer. 2:13). Spiritually speaking, there are two basic sorts of breaking. One is to be broken by the inevitable sin and ruin of this world, and the other is to be made lev-nishbar (לֵב־נִשְׁבָּר), a broken heart, before the LORD. The former breaking comes from the vain attempt to find life in the broken vessels of this world, and "repentance" is expressed as remorse over perceived temporal loss. This sorrow eventually leads the soul to death (2 Cor. 7:10). To be inwardly broken, on the other hand, requires mourning over your life and returning to God for deliverance (Matt. 5:4). In hunger and thirst for God's righteousness the soul finds eternal satisfaction, since God alone provides the vessel of "living water" we need to live (John 4:14; 7:38). We all must drink from God's fountain of life (מְקוֹר חַיִּים), lest we suffer spiritual dehydration and death....

Are you haunted by an inner ache for love, joy, peace, and life? "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied" (Matt. 5:6). Our inner poverty and need is a disguised grace; our desire for healing reveals the Spirit's invitation. Faith begins with the recognition of our need, since only then will we come to Yeshua for the "Bread of Life" (לֶחֶם הַחַיִּים) and the "Living Water" (מַיִם חַיִּים).

Everything we truly need is found in him, though we must reach out in faith: "For without faith (אֱמוּנָה) it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him" (Heb. 11:6). God rewards those who seek him; he answers the heart's cry; he responds to all who trust in his love and salvation. Therefore "ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened" (Matt. 7:7-8). We are not saved by faith in our own faith, but in the Reality and Power of the LORD God who alone can raise the dead to new life... He gives to the trusting heart a new song of praise for the blessing of His salvation.

Going Upstream / Blog #2

Have you ever been downtown, in the city or different country and really needed to use the bathroom?. You enter a shop and ask if they have a restroom and are hit with the “Restrooms are for paying customers only”, so now you have to buy a $5 water bottle or pastry just to use the bathroom. Well, this Chipotle location was sick and tired of the Wednesday runners club passing through their restaurant just to use the bathroom and posted this sign on their door.

I managed to scroll by the post on FaceBook; posted by “Man Cave Laughs”, a page dedicated to posting viral memes and other content. This post garnered 2.9k comments, 15.4k reacts and 335 shares. Now, as someone who frequents Chipotle and knows this is a bad business practice, I decided to do some digging.

I’ve been to many a Chipotle that has signs posted on the doors regarding staffing issues, payment options and unavailable food items- but never something this drastic. Reading the comments, people were outraged Chipotle would treat their customers this way, while some understood the potential business practice and effect that just using the restrooms has on a business. Before I developed my opinion whether this picture was real or fake, I put it into Google’s Reverse Image Search.

When I did this, the same photo popped up posted by a plethora of different meme accounts across all social media platforms, even LinkedIn. Clicking on each link, it was essentially the same thing. Posted by some meme page, angry and divided comments with no one to trace this photo back to. Until, I was brought to the Reddit sub r/oodlyspecific, then to r/RunningCircleJe*k where someone reposted the image from the r/Chipotle subreddit.

Looking at the comments on the post from r/RunningCircleJe*k, where runners post relatable content and memes regarding running, due to this Chipotle sign these runners were ANGRY. Demanding to know the location of the Chipotle, threatening to pee in lobbies and more. In the comments, a Redditor noticed how obviously doctored the photo is, stating that it looks like someone took an innocent Chipotle sign, covered the words with a white overlay and typed their own message over top. The Redditor stated that the curve of the words towards the end of the sign is not natural and looks like someone tried to squeeze the words into the frame because they were too big.

Now, an “update” was posted from user r/yaboyscottjurek claiming that the Chipotle in question put up ANOTHER sign to further push away the runners from coming in.

At first glance, this photo does look real. The shading of the paper isn’t a bright white like the previous sign, the words look legitimate and that is obviously a Chipotle in the background. Although, taking a closer look at the image, the tape on the four corners of the poster look off. As well as the lines towards the top of the sign look jagged and cut off. But, people still fell for the image. Claiming that the new poster doesn’t make anything better, some commenters saying they will never visit Chipotle again and more. After scrolling through around 300 comments, the validity of the sign began to dissipate the older the comments got, some people even commenting a simple “not real”.

After tirelessly scrolling, someone had finally answered regarding the truth behind this ongoing debacle.

Someone who has had terrible experiences with Chipotle commented their unfavorable reaction towards this sign and automatically assumed it was real, while user TheBowerBird responded and explained that both signs were created by user Yaboyscottjurek. None of the signs were real, yet people still took toward hating on Chipotle and vowing to never eat there again because of a doctored viral image.

Always do your research before falling for fake images, epically with the advanced use of AI technology today.
