#creating an employee handbook

[a-vague-yet-menacing-agency]

Old news but the fact that Cody was manager at hot topic is so unexplored in fandom. Like he wasn't some shithead employee he was the boss Entry level retail workers are so rarely promoted to manager nowadays, like, was Cody just that good at selling/managing the store? Also, managers make good money. Okay, haha, it's a hot topic, but store managers make like 70,000$ a year (CAD). They have health insurance. So Cody was actually doing pretty well. It's kinda weird to pretend he was on the same level as his friend with just a standard sales associate position, even if that friend was also full-time. Like the power and responsibility that Cody actually had is kind of impressive especially for 28.

AND then! To become a carnie! Like sick move and also Cody lost all his money anyway but the financial disparity! Was Murph probably thinking of like an assistant manager position which would make more sense with Cody's vibe? Probably. Is it funnier to imagine that Cody had to make sales reports to corporate and design store planograms? Absolutely.

Cody was management.

Every time recruits were assigned to a Harbinger, they were required to give a speech to the new agents. It was simply the way the Fatui worked - everyone must be made aware and dedicate themselves to the Tsaritsa's will through working for the Harbingers. The experience varied from Harbinger to Harbinger - if one were lucky enough to be with the Captain, they'd be filled with a sense of pride and bravery, if they had the misfortune of working for the Balladeer, well... one could guess how that goes.

Dottore's orientations were also anxiety-inducing, no doubt, considering the kind of reputation he had. Most recruits prayed day and night not to be selected to work for him. It was a very popular rumor about how easy it was to end up as a test subject of Dottore's. However, what many recruits quickly realized was that... working for Dottore was not as bad as many claimed.

Sure, some segments were definitely more difficult to work with than others, but it was actually preferable to working for certain other Harbingers. Just continue to produce results, and you'll be fine. Surprisingly, there were a sizeable amount of agents who adored Dottore. They would rave about him at any given opportunity to anyone who was willing to listen, and that didn't even include their signature handbook. It was also said that if you truly impressed him, he wasn't picky about rewarding you. Unfortunately for new recruits, they were still unaware of this and were left to shiver with their hearts in their throats, awaiting their impending doom.

Even worse for those poor souls, was that a habit of the segments was that they were notoriously late to these meetings, diving deep into their research and discarding it until the last minute. You learned this through idle conversation with one such segment, Beta, who especially despised this baptism.

"So... you just stood there and gave a speech to them?" You couldn't help but find the idea very funny, considering the kind of man he was. "What are your speeches like? Are you motivational, Beta?" He scowled at your teasing and focused his frustration on his latest creation.

"I don't have the time to waste on foolish things."

"Isn't it a good thing to encourage your employees?"

"This is the Fatui. They know what's expected of them," Beta scoffed as if he hadn't turned certain agents into flying robots in the past.

"Aww, but it sounds fun! I would wanna talk to them like that," you sighed. Most of the time the agents would bow, stutter, and quickly make themselves scarce when they saw you. Certain ones would just stare at you in awe silently as if they couldn't believe their eyes, and then scribble something in their notepad. You were unsure of their motives.

"There's a reason why Prime has never attended one himself ever since he created his first segment. All of us fill up our schedules to avoid it," the segment grumbled. He was the one stuck with the duty today. You only hummed in amusement.

"So when is the next screening of new recruits?"

"Tomorrow morning. Hmm, Omega's turn this time too. He's best at these things, anyway." You smiled as you had a very good idea.

"I'm going to go!"

"Are you now? Have fun." Beta responded dryly. Now that he thought about it, if you were so eager, perhaps he should have brought you to do most of the speaking.

"I will. I'll get them to be the most motivated Fatui agents there is!"

—

For a small group of people, they were starting their mornings with possibly one of the most frightening experiences of their lives. It was only natural for them to whisper to each other, all huddled up.

"I wonder if the rumors about Lord Dottore are true. Is he going to dissect us if-"

"You know what I wonder? What segment of Lord Dottore we'll get assigned to. I heard-"

"He has segments???"

"Apparently, he cloned himself at different stages of his life, so we'll deal with numerous versions of him."

"... As soon as the time comes, I'm putting in a request to transfer out of here."

"And that will be your biggest mistake. Lord Dottore is far more generous than you lot make him out to be."

"Pardon?"

"Lord Dottore is quite frequently praised by many agents around here. You just haven't heard them yet. Furthermore, he'll always appreciate results, regardless of your actions." The Dottore defender passionately gripped his chest. The group looked unconvinced.

"Are you sure they weren't under duress or something...?"

"Well, I've met his spouse once too! And [Name] was as kind as-" The poor agent was interrupted by laughter.

"Spouse? The sun would sooner shine bright in Snezhnaya than Lord Dottore ever being married."

"Is he even capable of love?"

"It's not a lie. Many agents who work for our Lord know them! In fact, they-"

"Ahem! Attention everyone!" A voice sounded in front of the room, that was... definitely not Dottore's. There stood a person who was... definitely not Dottore either. The room went completely silent as they gazed upon your rather proud form.

"You all were expecting Dottore, but I, [Name], will start this thing off first!" The glint of your wedding ring became all too noticeable for the new recruits as your eyes scanned the crowd. "Oh, hey! You're that guy I gave directions to a while back! You really did transfer over, huh!" You gleefully waved to him as he scratched his head, in both embarrassment and honor, and the agents suddenly had a feeling that the man was not lying about Dottore's marital status.

"Anyway, I'm gonna ask you all the question I know you're all thinking about. You're absolutely terrified of Dottore, aren't you?!" You pointed at them while their throats were dry from the situation. After a few seconds, they glanced at each other before nodding awkwardly. You only chuckled as you puffed out your chest.

"Well, I'm going to erase all those fears right here, right now. As the person who knows him better than anyone, I can assure you he's a great Harbinger to work under! And to do that... I'm going to give you all a crash course on Dottore's segments! So go on, ask me anything and I shall deliver!" Your resounding confidence was met with blank stares, save for the new inductee into the fan club.

"Are they really Lord Dottore's lover?"

"Well, they have to be... no one can just walk around casually claiming to be married to him."

"I mean... if someone like Lord Dottore is able to fall in love, then he can't be too bad, right...? We should listen to them."

One by one the nervous agents asked you a variety of questions - how to deal with them, how to tell them apart, what to do if they were annoyed, a few quirks to look out for, the kind of work efficiency he valued, the kind of sweets they most favored when it came time to pacify them- the more you spoke, the more engaged the new recruits got. You were rather proud of your skills.

"And if that wasn't enough motivation for you, do it for him!" In the end, you pulled out your one and only pet, the strange blue fox creature who blinked at the crowd who was loudly clapping for some reason.

"You know, I feel a lot more confident about working here!"

"I told you all, you just didn't believe me," the one fan said, still over the moon. But even amidst the commotion, a pair of shoes neatly echoed throughout the room, causing everyone to nearly fall silent at his presence.

"Oh... that's Lord Omega, right? His mask is black." Said agent got elbowed by another for speaking, as they all bowed lowly in respect. The segment was more interested in what you were doing here.

"... [Name], what exactly is the meaning of this?" The segment studied you carefully - despite your sweet smile, he didn't exactly have the best feeling about this.

"I gave them a speech of course! You need to motivate them more, you know? For the results you love so much! I just decided to do your job for you." Your lover stared at you and then turned his attention to the group who were standing stiffly.

"Is that so?"

"Y-Yes, Lord Dottore."

"Then you are all dismissed." The group blinked before quickly shuffling out of the room, mostly in awe at how casually you spoke to the Harbinger. You really were married...

"Just trust me Omega, those guys will be some of your most hardworking agents!" Omega looked at you thoughtfully - their demeanor did seem much better than when he spoke. But he still had a lingering thought that bothered him.

"[Name], you didn't tell them anything potentially... inappropriate, did you?"

"Inappropriate? O-Oh, of course not, Omega. I merely boosted their spirits into working for you!" You smiled, ignoring how his gaze was boring into you.

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's all!"

"..."

"..."

"Well, actually, I-I may have told them about the sweets thing again- hey- don't get closer!"

A Message from the NaNoWriMo Board of Directors

Dear NaNoWriMo Community Members,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiries about the forums, your support, offers to volunteer, and your legitimate concerns.

Our inbox has been flooded, and we appreciate all of the thoughtful responses from participants and volunteers who genuinely care about NaNoWriMo, our fellow writers, and the community as we do. It is impossible to respond to each message individually, but we wanted to let you all know we are working with purpose and sincerity.

Please see below the breakdown of the work that has been done since we last shared an update with the community. Our intention is to keep you abreast of all we are doing to make NaNoWriMo a better, safer, place:

We’ve overseen a full-scale review of business practices led by former Board Member, Kilby Blades, who has stepped in to assist the organization on an interim basis.  

We’ve begun to implement new procedures around community safety, including:

Full revision and legal review of our employee handbook and codes of conduct.

Full revision and legal review of our Municipal Liaison(ML) agreement.

Development of a formal contract agreement for all (non-ML) Volunteers.

Development of a stricter vetting process for all volunteers (which includes identity verification and background checks, wherever necessary).

Licensing of a digital constituent management system that will enhance volunteer management capabilities.

Comprehensive background checks for all current employees.

Checks and balances to ensure that standards of conduct and ethics are adhered to (e.g., better leadership training, volunteer training, tech mechanisms, and active oversight).

We’ve made staffing changes and revised our staffing plan.

We have rescoped certain roles and initiated some staffing changes. (However, certain employees who left the organization voluntarily are in pursuit of their next opportunities.)

We believe that learning from this moment through addressing skill gaps in the organization is healthy and we will go through a hiring process to fill necessary gaps in open roles.

We’ve listened to other community feedback and are still in listening mode.

We’ve disabled the mechanism on the YWP website that allows users to self-identify as educators for the purpose of creating classrooms, and we are researching mechanisms that will allow us to verify adults as educators.

We’ve revised our technology roadmap to address usability issues and are hoping to introduce new features in 2024.

We are midway through a deep dive on forums and forum moderation; this has included benchmarking with other organizations with similar challenges.

In February, we will hold focus groups for continuing MLs. We are also thinking through the logistics of Town Hall meetings and other gatherings.

We’ve processed dozens of pages of community member feedback and are integrating it into our thinking.

With the staffing changes mentioned above, we are open to hearing from those of you who have reached out with offers to help and/or be a part of the organization’s future. Get notified about future job opportunities at NaNoWriMo.

We are excited about the future, and expect it to be brighter! We hope you feel seen and heard, and that you will stick with us as we continue supporting the writing community and our organization.

Kind regards,

NaNoWriMo Board of Directors

The Naughty Ones and the Rebellion explained:

I'm seeing a lot of people still confused on the origins of the naughty ones along with how they (including Sir Dadadoo) ended up trapped inside Queen Bouncelia's pouch. So I thought I'd help explain.

Naughty Ones Orgin:

First the naughty ones were created together by Sir Dadadoo and Queen Bouncelia. We learn this in Case #14 Update #15.

"Given the impressive regenerative properties of Givanium, the expedition team have provided evidence that cases 14 and 18 are using their own genomes to produce cases of their own."

Case #14 being Queen Bouncelia. While Case #18 is Sir Dadadoo.

We know they're Queen Bouncelia's children partially due to a line from Garten of Banban 4:

Queen Bouncelia: "I think I know. A worried parent can spot another worried parent from a mile away."

The Rebellion:

Note: I added to the reports parentheses () to make it easier to understand which case is each.

The Second half to Case #14 Update #15 reveals:

"Although research on subcases (or cases that have two Givanium-based entities as their donors as defined in the employee handbook) has been minimal, experts predict that these subcases will have identical levels of obedience as their genome donors."

"Cases 9 (Toad Sheriff), 14 (Queen Bouncelia), 17 (Bittergiggle), and 18 (Sir Dadadoo) would not have known this to be possible without insider information, and we believe Case 4 (Syringeon) to be the informer. Predictions show that a rebellion is imminent. We await management's instructions on how to proceed."

Syringeon taught them that they could create cases of their own IE children. The naughty ones were created and a rebellion was planned but failed.

This is shown in Case #14 Update #17 -

"As per management's request, cases 4 (Syringeon) (now permanently moved to the lower levels), 9 (Sheriff Toadster), 14 (Queen Bouncelia), and 17 (Bittergiggle) were given 24 hours to decide on whether they will proceed with their malevolent plan or completely destroy any and all feats they have achieved this far,"

They were all given the opportunity to cast aside the rebellion except for Sir Dadadoo.

"unbeknownst to case 18 which appears to be the most in favor of said plan."

Although not explicitly stated we know Sir Dadadoo is Case #18 because of multiple scenes.

Sir Dadadoo: "Consider it part of the payback for what was done to me. Plus I need to make sure history doesn't repeat itself."

Sir Dadadoo: "Together and under my command, we will finish what the queen couldn't."

We also know Case #17 is Bittergiggle because of this exchange:

Bittergiggle: "We had no choice. They were going to destroy us all!"

Sir Dadadoo: "You did have a choice. and you chose wrong."

Due to the fear of death.

"A very violent outcome was hinted at if they had decided to go with the former. As per management's request, we are keeping annihlation of all participanting cases and newly-formed subcases as a last restort, given how financially ruining that option would be."

Behind Sir Dadodoo's back they trapped him and the naughty ones inside Queen Bouncelia's pouch using the scepter to create a temporary peace.

Sir Dadadoo: "So this is where the key to my prison was stored away."

To prevent any future rebellions they're also checked on regularly.

"An expedition will be dispatched bi-weekly from now on to ensure that cases 4 (Syringeon), 9 (Sheriff Toadster), 14 (Queen Bouncelia), 17 (Bittergiggle), and 18 (Sir Dadadoo) are not getting any unwanted thoughts again."

DOCUMENT A scanned page of The Holmwood Foundation Employee Handbook. June 2024

Dear [Employee Name], Welcome to The Holmwood Foundation. After a lengthy vetting process, and what I am sure has felt like an excessive number of contracts, I am honoured to have you join our cause. Every employee of this Foundation has been recommended or scouted by our most trusted members, chosen for your discretion and expertise in your field - whether this is as a historian, a security officer, or as a scientist. We welcome you. There will be much to learn in the coming weeks, and much I am sure you are eager to ask, but I wish to take a minute to address the heart of The Holmwood Foundation—our core value.  Ever since Dame Harker and Lord Godalming created us, we have pursued a singular purpose: to prevent the reanimation of Count Dracula, and to study the lasting effects of vampirism on the human body. In your time here, everything you do will support this cause. You will find your employee handbook and the rest of your onboarding plan in your welcome packet. I encourage you to contact your new team members and manager with any questions you may have.  As I am sure you are aware, any attempts to spread even the most tentative company information beyond the walls of your central facility, or indeed beyond your personal team, will be met with the highest punitive measure this company can afford. I ask you to contemplate why you may not have heard of your department prior to employment, to remember that we have been active for a long, long time, and to remind yourself that you are but a small, easily-expensed cog in a much larger, well-funded machine. Best wishes, and best of luck, Jonathan Harker, CEO

A welcome message from Jonathan Harker 3rd.

I will stand by the belief that the best and funniest thing Jacobi could have done in ep 52 when Minkowski, Lovelace, and Eiffel were asking him about Goddard out of curiosity and in an attempt to get Kepler to lose his Questions Only game with Hera would've been to say they hooked up once because even if it was a complete lie it because Kepler's options for response would have been:

Continue the game without acknowledging it and let the crew believe it's true even if it isn't simply because he didn't comment in the moment even if he tries to later

Admit that it happened and potentially lose if he can't spin it into a question

Lose the game by outright denying

Deny with a cleverly worded question and maybe not outright lose but still sound like a liar even if he's telling the truth and Jacobi was the one to lie about it in the first place because he's a known liar so why wouldn't he lie right now?

Ask a very targeted question to Jacobi about employee fraternization rules such as "do you think I would violate [insert hyper specific rule in the SI-5 handbook about getting with your superior officer that's probably in there because I'm convinced everything is]?" thus keeping himself in the game but still sounding like a liar because why would he know the exact rule to bring up if he hadn't at least thought about it?

Ask a different but still very targeted question to Jacobi such as a "why would you lie about that?" type question and still sound like a liar because you don't tend to ask people directly why they're lying with no proof to back you up and this is now a hearsay argument where the people can choose to believe whoever they want (likely Jacobi because again, Kepler is a known liar and Jacobi's being so honest about everything else right now so why would this be different)

Mentally bluescreen (and lose) because he doesn't know why Jacobi would so openly say that (true or otherwise) and now cannot think of another question to keep the game going

Any of the other options but continue to be psychologically tortured in the future because while the crew may not have ever had the thought before Jacobi put it in their heads so even if they know it's not true and even if Jacobi later says he lied about it in an attempt to make Kepler lose that thought will still be floating around somewhere in the back of everyone's minds kind of all the time

It simply would have created the perfect scenario in which any action Kepler took he would still lose somehow and at this point annoying him was really all Jacobi wanted to do so I just think it would have been a real checkmate move for him

[pixiecaps]

also the admins creating that federation handbook that literally says “At the Federation our employees are the lifeblood of our organization. The cogs in the machine, all working together!” during THIS ARC like yeah okay i see what you’re doing you fuckers i see what you’re saying

[doodle17]

Some DR theories that made me realize they should've hired me to write the Bendy Lore

I'm just gonna dive right in okay? Okay. First things first:

Audrey is not a Drew.

At least her soul isn't. Hear me out, why did all those failed attempts call Joey, her "father" uncle? That's not just some- weird flaw I don't think. Also, it has been proven time and time again that you cannot, I repeat, CAN NOT create a perfect living thing from the machine without a soul. Ink Bendy is a perfect example of that

One of the first things we hear the Ink Demon say is "A voice... A soul..." Why would he say that if Audrey was just made completely out of ink. It doesn't make sense.

Which is why, I think Audrey isn't a Drew. She's a Stein. This will come back later it is crucial to my next theory, I promise, so I'm quickly going to talk about:

"Everyone is just an ink copy"

See that? That's bullshit right there. I've already said you can't make a perfect thing unless it has a soul inside of it, unless you excuse the searchers and lost ones.

I really do think that Henry, Allison, Tom etc. Are all the real people. Henry is an interesting case, however.

I think it's in scraps of paper hidden in the Employee Handbook (the original one) saying something about how an employee was worked to death. Literally, found dead at their desk. Who's to say that wasn't Henry?

Joey could have had plans for an ink clone of Henry but was unable to execute it. So? Use the real Henry's soul for the copy. There ya go. It could possibly explain why some of Henry, and characters like Sammy, have their memories so jumbled up.

Now back to the topic of Audrey, what if Henry had a daughter? Joey always wanted a family, right? Seeing Henry have what he didn't definitely would have pissed him off.

So, if we were to assume that when Joey invited people over, like Allison, he could've totally sacrificed them to the machine. What if he invited Henry's daughter? And with her he could finally get what he's always wanted.

Audrey is Henry's daughter's soul

We learn that once your soul is trapped/bound to your character, you start to lose your memories, and even have false ones replacing who you really are. It happened to Buddy as he slowly forgot who he was, and started becoming more like Boris, until Buddy had seemingly faded away completely.

It could explain why Audrey has no memories of her childhood. Why she doesn't remember where she came from. Because she's not supposed to.

Audrey is really Henry's daughter, but her soul is now inside a different body, and believes she's Joey Drew's daughter instead.

Speaking of Joey, let me bring up my other theory:

Memory Joey was lied to as well

I know people think memory Joey is lying, and, while, yeah he totally could be, what if he doesn't even know he's lying?

Remember that Joey most likely made Memory Joey, and he could have told/made him to believe in everything he tells Audrey. The reason reason he seems so genuine in what he's telling us is because he was made to be that way. BUT remember when I said that you can't make something perfect without a soul? Remember how I said real memories can be replaced by false ones?

That could have happened to Joey. What if with his dying breath he became Memory Joey? He doesn't even remember who he really is or all the terrible things he's done because he designed himself to be the perfect "doesn't murder his coworkers for experiments" kind of boss, who made a few oopsies, but can easily be forgiven.

I hope this doesn't come off as ramble-y and doesn't make sense fam, but I swear this would have been a MUCH better concept

I love Dark Revival, don't get me wrong, but there is no way that none of the people we meet are just copies.

And I know there's a reason all the failed Audrey's called Joey uncle... That wasn't just some minor mistake...

[skemford]

I like talking about bendy characters so it’s time to touch up topic of… Joey Drew himself

Doing it before fade to black release on purpose :)

Here’s my analysis of his behaviour and on the illusion of living philosophy

It’s a huge read and I’ve enjoyed writing it!

(Continuation under the cut)

1. Joey’s family situation was hard on it’s own

Joey doesn’t talk about his parents way too much and mostly focuses on story elements (his father being a shoe maker and how his parents affected his childhood) rather than on his parents as their own people.

They weren’t rich and Joey talks about their family earning a “honest living” but at the same time, he describes how hard it was for his father.

“We weren’t rich. There was an honest living to be earned and Father did that with Mother keeping the books” (TIOL, page 18)

“I definitely saw her (mother) more than I saw Father, who sometimes would only appear briefly at the dinner table, hunched, brow furrowed, silently eating his meal. He’d disappear downstairs right after, and I’d help Mother with the washing up. (TIOL,page 18)

He comments on his father creating fake scenarios (elves helping him to work) to distract from hardship of needing to work a lot to be able to feed their family.

Joey has hard time of understanding ‘why’ he does that and how fantasy can help to work but he wants to believe. He tries to prove to himself that magic can be real.

"I didn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it” (TIOL, page 19)

“I couldn’t see the elves. They must have been sitting on the table itself, hidden behind Father. I pushed the door open just a little bit and stood taller on my tiptoes.” (TIOL, page 21)

Joey switches between wanting to believe in illusions and not wanting to. He’s scared of not being perceived as normal by others.

He says that it’s not okay to be deep into the fantasy but notes on the fact that he can grasp the concept.

“I knew about make-believe. Played it all the time with my friends. But I didn’t know that adults knew about make-believe too. I nodded. (TIOL, page 23)

After he asks his father directly, he explains his reasoning and says that make-believe helps to feel less lonely (I’ll note on this part, it’ll come in handy later) which changes Joey’s perspective greatly:

"But the make-believe, the little characters, the songs, that changed his reality. What was reality except what we perceive it to be? Elves and magic? Well, why not? (TIOL, page 24)

It’s everything we’ve got to know about his family.

Hard working to earn money for living, using escapism to cope and distant from each other because of their struggles.

This distance likely has continued to grow with years, since for some reason he escaped his home when he was 15 y.o (+ signed up to army); no one seems to actually care and he was left on his own.

1.1 Stage name

Talking about Joey’s distance from his family, he doesn’t use his real family surname or full form of his name.

It’s not something that was explored a lot in Bendy (among all of its content) but we know that he doesn’t like to be referred this way.

'Joey’ was a nickname that he picked up for himself when he was 19 y.o.

"I’m Detective Adam Sinclair. You’re Joseph Drew.” “Joey,” I said. It was a new nickname I was trying out, ever since I moved to the Village. (TIOL, page 88)

Usually he’s referred as 'Joseph’ by his family members or people who are distant to him/don’t know him well.

But "Joey” is not the only one name he gave to himself.

'Drew’ doesn’t look like a real surname. He likely picked it up after getting close with Henry.

Imo Drew is a fun pun name that’s related to Joey owning the studio (and “Joey drew Studios” (literally) in the case of the cycle)

It has never sounded real.

Employees handbook mentions some “Dempsey” person who invests their own costs into the studio:

(Receipts: Investor Deposit, J. Dempsey)

Their initials are “J.D.” which makes it’s obvious who they are.

Joey’s house also doesn’t look rich which would make sense if he put all his earnings into the studio itself.

Bendy devs like to pick names that fit characters & “Dempsey” means “arrogant person” which does fit Joey perfectly.

1.2 Joey is deeply ashamed of the way his family lived.

Everytime someone mentions anything he associates with his past (shoes, for example) he overthinks and creates imaginary conflicts with these people.

His negative thoughts about them take whole paragraphs of text; he tries to make himself believe that he doesn’t care about looking “less” in someone’s eyes. He looks for reasons why they're worse than him constantly.

"Probably trying to figure out my past, and that was none of his business. Then I told myself it didn’t matter because I didn’t care what he thought. I didn’t care much for him in general. He might have been richer than me at the time, but that’s where his superiority ended." ( TIOL, page 26)

He often downplays people because he's deeply insecure and is scared of being outcasted, especially by rich successful guys.

After doing so,he switches toward praising himself and names reasons for why he's better (classic Joey Drew behaviour)

He was a year younger than me, hadn’t fought, hadn’t signed up like I had, hadn’t lied about his age to fight for his country like I had. What could he say to an answer like that?Nothing. Absolutely nothing (TIOL, page 26)

Не believes that they need to feel sorry for this because they have no idea how much he struggled in the past.

2. He's insecure & scared of things he can't control

I could've continues this in previous paragraph but it's a bit different.

You see, while Joey was insecure of his past (things he associated with it acted as "triggers") he still was full of himself.

It was an act but it looked convincing enough; with time it became harder for him to keep it up.

It easily explains his behaviour in batim tapes.

When Joey tries to reassure everyone that he knows what's going on, he actually doesn't. He's as lost as everyone else, he tries to act only when he's forced to do so.

He lies to people and runs away from responsibility because he's scared of abruptness, something out of his control.

Joey shows fear of everything that's unknown to him but he tries to play it off somehow: he tries to be on top and be unpredictable to others.

He treats himself as a human that lives around unpredictable fictional characters that he can't control or read intentions of.

"My father though was a real person. I knew that deep down. But in this moment I saw him not as a son looking at his father but as a viewer looking at a fictional character." (TIOL, page 50)

It's mentioned in the novels that Joey likes theatre and he expresses his thoughts about it to Buddy in dctl.

Theatre operates in "cycles":

Actors play their parts→ the audience applaud→ actors bow→ performance ends→ performance begins and so on.

It's has a pattern and won't introduce anything that will caught you off guard. It's "safe" and as a part of audience,you don't need to perform, you only watch.

Does it remind you of batim's cycle? Outside of holding grudges toward Henry and wanting to run away from everything Joey has performed with GENT, he also searches for control while not being included directly.

HE decides what will happen to the cycle residents. HE writes the story that other people can barely affect. HE blames other people for studio's downfall and makes them suffer for his wrongdoings.

Joey knows that he has failed but he can't process it. He doesn't know what will happen and he's scared of being put into situations he can't predict.

It's really shows how insecure he became with years.

3. Why Henry is important?

Why exactly Joey couldn't replace one man he didn't knew for a really long time? What made Henry so special to him?

We don't get a big insist on their friendship but it can be said that their short-lived bond was strong or at least Joey believed that it was.

Henry seems to be Joey's role model of sort even if Joey doesn't want to acknowledge it.

Joey notes on how Henry changed the course of his life without knowing about this

Henry is a determinated man who went for a career in art because he knew what he wanted & he stayed on this path no matter how hard it was to get any recognition.

Henry's the man who makes decisions and acts when he needs to.

Meanwhile, Joey feels lost his whole life. He searches for answers,purpose or a place with a "soul".

Henry gave him new meaning for life. Creative path with endless possibilities that Joey could build from scratch.

Joey was heartbroken when Henry left, doesn't matter for hard he tries to act like he wasn't.

"His presence was helpful, I can happily admit, but his absence was even more so. Not having him at the studio ended up being one of the best things that could have happened to it" (TIOL, page 138)

For some time his life was revolving around Henry. He knew what to do and what will happen, Henry always pushed him to the right decisions.

He says so directly in batim chapter 5:

"The truth is, you were always so good at pushing, old friend... pushing me to do the right thing"

With loosing Henry, Joey lost his newly gained purpose in life. It wasn't something that he was able to figure out by himself & it made him blind to the road that lies ahead.

He's angry at Henry for being like "other people" that he hates. For leaving him behind when he's scared of being alone.

We don't know about Henry's perspective much but he strikes me as someone who would be supportive of Joey at first.

He made some of Joey's ideas real and left only after a breaking point.

3.1 "Cartoon family"

Joey is deeply attached to main JDS toons that he "mutually" owns with Henry.

Especially, it's noteciable with toon Bendy who was called his child on a couple of occasions:

"Bendy was Joey’s child, and he felt just as strongly about Bendy as I feel about my flesh-and-blood son" © Nathan Arch (TIOL, page 5)

"He was my very first creation—one could even call him my firstborn." (TIOL, page 12)

Joey not only sees Bendy as his child but he also relates to him.

He draws parallels between them both, calls bendy manifestation of "the illusion of living" and shows some of his mannerisms (as he says)

Joey wants to see himself as Bendy.

A character who's loved by kids and adults alike and who always has friends around.

"I tell people that Bendy is the perfect example of my philosophy." (TIOL, page 12)

"To know that I needed a creation so perfect, so accessible to so many people, that it would help me change the way the world saw itself." (TIOL, page 13)

In Joey's apartment the only one picture in frame that he owns is illustration/animation cell of toons drawn by 'Henry Stein':

They're depicted holding hands with Bendy being in the middle of both; it's portrays closeness between them and Bendy's importance in the picture

But was it's actually signed up by Henry or Joey is the one who did it for himself?

We know from batim (and batdr notes) that Joey's signature is "your best pal" which makes this case...a bit complicated

Joey could've wanted to pretend that Henry is still close to him and decided to sign up drawing with his name

Or possibly it was signed up by Henry somewhere in the past. In this case, Joey could've adopted Henry's signature as his own.

Both speculations have place to be real and we can't prove any of them.

Joey's known for pretending (which would fit with the 1st possibility) but he's also stuck in the past and stole a lot of ideas that belong to other people.

Imo it can be interpreted based on the way you see him.

4. Why was Susie fired?

Joey's obsessed with everything that is related to Bendy which can be seen with him being angry about "crooked bendy dolls" or bendy expression sheet in batim ch 2.

We can speculate that Susie Campbell wasn't fired from the role of Alice's voice actress for any valid reason BUT because Joey felt personally offended.

As Norman says in dctl, Alice Angel was really popular for a bit, which possibly could have been unacceptable for Joey.

Bendy is the main character Joey relates to and he wouldn't have wanted to be overshadowed in any way.

Susie being fired and humiliated (for not knowing that she was in fact fired) is the consequence of Joey's insecurity.

Susie claims that "she was absolutely perfect for the role" at first so at some point Joey completely changed his perspective.

Any character getting attention would be good for the studio. Firing a voice actress that helps to get this attention lacks logical reasoning.

After Joey "calms down" he has a conversation with Susie about 'an opportunity' he has for her. This opportunity is Susie being the first (speculated to) human sacrifice. He believed that she'd have been a perfect Alice.

Joey puts Bendy above Boris and Alice (like he does with himself & other people) so him acting pitiful about any other character getting popular does makes sense.

But he still cares about them...to some degree.

"Boris was special, Alice was complicated." (TIOL, page 154)

Joey having complicated feelings with Alice as character is really interesting and it's perfectly reflects what he was thinking about Susie.

She was a perfect voice actress to others but wasn't to him. He thought that she'll be a perfect Alice (after the ink machine was created) but she failed to be.

"She was beautiful. And loved by all. She was perfect...No matter what Joey says." (batim chapter 3, Susie talking about herself in 3rd person)

In dctl he claims that he relates failed experiments to "people not being real enough" or says that they weren't pure.

At the end, Joey basically has decided to pretend that she never was real

Susie is never mentioned in his memoir and she's almost fully erased from studio's history.

In Batdr's studio tour (music department part) "Susie Campbell" was replaced with "Allison Pendle"; meaning that Allison is officially the only one Alice Angel voice actress according to him.

5. The ink demon

It's one of the most interesting parts here and I'm sure that a lot of people have talked about him better that I'll.

The ink demon is a "product" of mistreatment, Joey's unhealthy projecting and capitalism (duh)

Joey saw Bendy as his son

He wanted to be like Bendy, someone who's loved and can always escape from troubles

One of reasons to bring Bendy to life is his marketability. Joey wanted "alive attractions" he can get money from.

The ink demon wasn't able to fullfil any expectations that Joey had.

He was passive and harmless (at first) but to Joey, he's not a cheerful toon that he has always dreamed about.

One of main issues that Joey has with him is that he's off-model:

"Listen Tommy, i know you boys over at Gent are doing your best but I'm paying for living attractions,not walking abominations. Whatever that grinning thing was i saw walking around your office,you better keep it up locked tight! Might scare off investors!..." (batim chapter 5)

"Grinning thing" and "walking abomination." The ink demon is completely dehumanised because he's not marketable.

As it was mentioned earlier, Joey sees Bendy as a perfect being and relates to him

He doesn't want to relate to the ink demon; for this reason, he separates them both.

Joey has hard time with accepting "failures". They either get forgotten, dumped or he tries to change them somehow.

The ink demon is a mistake that Joey and GENT have tried to "fix" for years. "A monster" that has shattered Joey's dreams.

5.1 The ink demon's sense of self

It's Joey character analysis so this point won't be too big.

The ink demon was treated like a mistake for being different:

Closed off, isolated, put in the cycle,tortured.

He was in the place where no one would care because he's not "a perfect bendy". Most of it comes from Joey or is related to him in some way.

Everyone saw him as a monster and he has accepted this role.

We know how it went in batim/batdr.

Worth to mention that unlike Joey, he has never lied in batdr. It's either harsh truth or projecting.

6. Ink Children

Allison was close to Joey and had a good impact on him,as he claims.

Indirectly, she made him want to have a family with the help of the ink machine.

I doubt that this decision has come from the place of jealousy toward Henry (who has a family) unless future content will somehow prove that I'm wrong. Joey can have one good intention while failing everywhere else.

Joey could've wanted to have a family to prove that there's still something good in him.

He was scared of dying alone and being forgotten.

"I hadn’t known that at the time. It gave me chills. The thought of success only after death, now that terrified me. That was not the plan and would never be the plan" (TIOL, page 122)

We don't know how many children have perished until the final, perfect one. And we can't claim what exactly has happened to them.

We don't get much details about the creation process of artificial "almost humans".

The only one we heard (outside of Audrey) is "AD" (name of the file) from batim chapter 5

"Tell me another one,uncle Joey..." ("AD" in batim post credits)

And sadly,you can't say much based on this.

They could've been physically unstable and die on their own terms

(milk packages from Joey's kitchen table in batim chapter 5. All of them were stained with ink)

If they stained object with ink by interacting with them, it could've become worse with time.

Again,with lack of context,it's almost impossible to debate for or against this idea. Was that's a thing for other ink creatures?

Susie does brings up in batim that she was "a shapeless slug" at first.

Joey didn't changed much and dumped imperfect ones

Honestly this part depends on how much you believe that he could grow as a character.

(memo from batdr, GENT building)

The way Joey talks about "other versions" sounds... indifferent.

Which is weird, because he did spend time with "AD" from batim by entertaining her with stories when she has asked him to

Does he tries to justify them being dumped OR he's distracting from the fact that they didn't had a chance to properly exist?

It feels like it was left for interpretation on purpose.

6.1 Audrey Drew

Second and last artificial child after "AD" that we canonically know about.

For Joey, creating something perfect that will outlive him could've been a key to his definition of immortality. He wanted to leave something after his death that people could know about. A piece of "perfect art"

"...Of course, I intend to live forever, so that will never happen! Ha, a joke indeed, but in a way not a joke, for what is art but a doorway into immortality? The greatest Illusion of Living then, living on after we are no longer alive. What is more of an illusion than that?" (TIOL, page 219)

Joey makes jokes about living eternally even before the ink machine's existence.

After it's creation, it's wasn't something that he has planned but he was ready for this fate (for one reason or another)

At the end of his life, Audrey has became a thing he'll live through eternally. And Memory!Joey is here ig

Memory!Joey basically calls Audrey his magnum opus:

"...My Greatest creation" (batdr, final Memory!Joey custscene)

Which further established that Joey is more proud of Audrey than he ever was on the Bendy franshise (it's hard to be proud of the stolen ideas, peoples deaths or the cycle,eh?)

Audrey seems to share adventurous spirit of young Joey (in his early 20s) & determination

They both got dragged into events they didn't asked for:

Joey (when he was 19 y.o) by detective Sinclair who has blamed him for a murder.

Audrey by Wilson Arch who has wanted to murder her.

6.2 Audrey and the ink demon

Similar trauma, different outcomes and treatment.

How present Joey was in Audrey's life? Why did they got separated at one point even before he has died?

Is there's something Memory!Joey hides from Audrey on purpose?

Batdr archives mention that Audrey has repressed her memories but what and why exactly?

In batdr the ink demon interacts a lot with Audrey which holds huge significance on the story.

In his first interaction with her he says "ink speaks to me and whispers your secrets" so the ink machine (who seems to hold some sense of identity) does know too.

The ink demon heavily relates to Audrey through the game. They were both left alone (in different ways) and they share one creator.

"You are without the purpose. Your very existence.. was a terrible lie...you're a mistake. A monster. Just like me." (batdr, the ink demon, last playable segment)

He heavily projects on her through this last interaction. Audrey does has a purpose,she was created to be a daughter Joey did wanted and loved. As much as Joey Drew could love at least, if you see this part as debatable.

But there's one thing he's right about, her existence is a lie.

Joey put burden of "protecting the cycle" on her while she thought that she's an orphan.

Batdr archives also question how much agency she has, which i find interesting.

7. "The illusion of living" (or TL;DR for this analysis)

The art of lying masterfully and manual on how to justice God complex.

Joey describes his life from early childhood (when he was 5 y.o.) and to the point of him being 42-43 y.o., a bit before the ink machine was created.

This book is about a man who couldn't find his purpose in life even with the help of other people and decided to blame everyone for this.

Lies, accusations, insults, distorted information, searching for "a soul" (literally and figuratively) and never ending hidden sadness after he lost Henry.

He tries to replace this empty gap with letting their creations become his whole life but it doesn't end well... (the ink demon,dead employees and the cycle)

He tries to separate himself from this and focused on creating a family.

Artificial daughters are electric boogalo №2 (unexpected direct sequel) which has ended working somehow.

But still,i wouldn't trust this man even a pet rock and the ink demon & Audrey are a proof on 'why.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trivial facts (bendy employees handbook/the illusion of living):

>He loves mac n cheese

>Joey meet Sammy at a theatre when they were teens

>Joey loves throwing peanuts at theatre actors

>In Joey Drew studios you can celebrate only main toons birthday or Joey's birthday. Other birthdays are prohibited.

>Joey stole award that Sammy has earned

> Joey officially is an employee of the month eternally...

> Joey stoles ideas for cartoons from employees and they don't get even a couple of cents for this (woah! How surprising /j)

Special thanks to everyone who interacted with my Audrey analysis earlier!

Ok

Okok

Hi hello

Loki episode 5 spoilers below because I have THOUGHTS

This is a lot of theorizing and just straight up rambling but who knows maybe you’ll get something out of it

Help me

The fact that one of the recap scenes TWICE this season has been Kang stating that he controlled every moment leading up to the moment is what’s making me think here. Because think about it- O.B. had to write the time manual in order for Victor Timely to create his temporal loom. And while O.B. stated that his work was based off of the work of Victor Timely, creating the whole chicken and the egg scenario, that first tempad prototype was because Loki gave him the TVA manual that HE wrote. He inspired himself. It’s a loop. Just like Loki pruning himself. Loki had to prune himself in order to go back in time just like O.B. had to write the manual in order to create the TVA.

And yes, he doesn’t remember this. But that’s because all of the TVA’s employee memories are said to be wiped when they entered. By Kang. Kang, who was Victor Timely, who had to read the manual written by O.B. to create the loom. But Kang can’t have O.B. remembering that O.B.’s manual was the basis of the entire TVA, so what does he do?

He makes O.B. believe that O.B.’s manual was based off of Victor Timely’s work. O.B.’s work was NEVER inspired by Timely. He just thinks it was, because that’s what he HAD to think in order for the series of events to proceed as they did. For the entire TVA to proceed as it did.

Also- notice how the room O.B. is in on the timeline is VERY SIMILAR structurally to his room in the TVA. Because that’s where it all originated. That was the foundation point. Kang couldn’t wipe all of O.B.’s memories from when he was on the timeline, because if he did, then O.B. wouldn’t retain the knowledge he had of making the tempad, or anything he read in his own book. O.B. had to retain some of that knowledge in order for everything to work.

So Kang specifically wiped specific memories. Memories that Loki had been the one to hand him the book. Skewed a few things- O.B. wrote a book. He remembers writing a book. So Kang took that knowledge and applied it to the handbook. O.B. remembers writing a book, and handbook states that he is the author, so obviously the memories align and his memories are skewed to apply the memories of writing his sci-fi book to writing the TVA handbook.

But then it’s a paradox. Because O.B. had to see the book to retain skewed memories, and so the book had to be written at some point… but when?

And so we’re back to the chicken and the egg. What came first, the TVA or the manual?

Also. We’re jumping topics.

Loki gathering everyone in one place. If you think about it… why did he have to do that? To figure out how to control the time slipping, sure, but… why did Marvel specifically make him run around on a wild goose chase getting everyone together?

Because he had to. Because it’s part of Kang’s plan.

Bring them all together. In order to do that, the tempad had to be made. The tempad which requires O.B. to read the manual. Which in turn leads to the creation of the TVA. Which means the entire group’s memories are wiped, and they are then TVA employees.

It’s a loop. As demonstrated by the beginning scene. Loki walked in, saw himself reading the manual, jumped back, and then was reading the manual and got called out by himself.

Same idea.

Loki went back in time to give the manual to O.B. In doing so, he sparked the entire creation of the TVA. He brought a group of people together who would become the TVA’s employees. And because he did that, every event of seasons 1 and 2 thus far could occur.

So in a sense, Loki created the TVA.

But still

WHAT CAME FIRST THE CHICKEN OR THE FUCKING EGG-

Oakie the Acorn is the Best Mascot Ever

I don’t even go to this school I just love them. Here’s an interview they did for SUNY Mascot Madness.

Oakie - SUNY ESF

Who are you, where are you originally from, and where do you do your mascot thing? I'm Oakie Acorn (they/them), proud representative of ESF and its Mighty Oaks athletic teams! I was “born” when I fell out of ESF's Robin Hood Oak which means my roots go back to the Major Oak in England's Sherwood Forest. Maybe that's why I'm so merry! While most of my mascot duties have me in Syracuse, I also pop in at our Ranger School in Wanakena and our satellite campuses in the Adirondacks and Thousand Islands.

What's a unique new thing (building, club, activity, employee, etc.) on your campus that you treasure? The newly renovated Marshall Hall is wonderful! Open since 1933, Marshall underwent a major two-year reno re-opening in 2023. We kept the classic features, such as the spiral staircase and auditorium, while updating the building to a state-of-the-art learning center with spaces tailored to the needs of today's students. The building is home to our Landscape Architecture, Environmental Studies, and mathematics programs. Along with great classroom and studio space, there are plenty of study nooks for students to tuck in and do work between classes or meet with friends.

If you could start your own club or major on campus, what would it be? Wow! Difficult question because ESF has so many unique clubs, activities, and majors already! That said, I'd love to start an a capella group – Oak-apella! I don't speak, but I have a song in my heart and would love to hear ESF students sing. Maybe I could do some interpretive dance while they sing.

What's your hidden talent that you haven't told anyone about yet? Anyone on campus at night might have seen me skateboarding. The other day I landed a kickflip over the gap and was pretty stoked. Sadly, no one was around to see it. Flicks or it didn't happen, right? We do have some talented campus artists who have drawn me and my board though.

What campus cheer gets you pumped up and why? (with great enthusiasm)  O-A-K-I-E!  They're our acorn can't you see?  Sprouting strong through day and night  We've got bark and we've got bite!    ESF Orientation Leaders chant this while they lead our newest acorns to convocation. I love hearing it echo off the campus buildings!

What sport would you play if you were a student-athlete? I would join the Bass Fishing team in a heartbeat! I know when you think “acorn,” you think “land-based,” but I'd love to get out on the water and drop a line or two. There's so much more to me than most people know.    I would look awesome in one of the Bass Fishing team jerseys – provided they could get me an XXXXXL.

Read any good books lately? The Climate Optimists Handbook by environmental activist Anne Therese Gennari is a great read. Her book is about empowering people to get excited about changing the narrative on climate change so we act from courage and excitement to co-create a better world. She totally gets the ESF vibe! She was our commencement speaker last May and inspired our graduates and their guests to Improve Our World!    And of course, Braiding Sweetgrass by our own Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer is always close at hand to read again and again!

Favorite pizza topping? Mushrooms. I love to top my pie with things I've foraged in the woods. Remember, you have to be very careful with mushrooms. I always take along a friend who has taken Dr. Alex Weir's mycology course to ensure I don't eat anything that could make me sick or worse!

If you were SUNY Chancellor for a day, what would you do? I would declare every day Earth Day in SUNY and plant pollinator gardens on every campus. I would also help other campuses set and reach their own Zero-Waste goals. Sustainability is a key component to helping the environment. I would then ask to be Chancellor for a couple more days to visit as many campuses as possible and see all the great things SUNY students are doing.  I don't know how Chancellor King does it all! Does he ever sleep?

How would you celebrate being named SUNY Mascot Madness Champion in 2024? The same way I celebrated in 2017 when I won the title – surrounded by the best students, faculty, and staff ever! We had a party that the whole campus attended. My friend, Victor E. Knight from SUNY Geneseo, was gracious enough to come and present me with the trophy and join the festivities. I think it would be great to host Wolfie on campus this year.

TMEGE 2

Her phone dinged, and I quickly spun around, almost reaching for Hollies' phone myself. She hardly even noticed if it wasn’t for my reaction, she was more concerned about her show than she was about my missing clothes. She picked up her phone and began reading to herself. The suspense was killing me. As she read, she spoke to herself. “Oh” “I see” “ok” This was like torcher. How could this day that started off so amazing end so terribly!?

When she finally finished, she looked at me, her eyes gliding up and down. “Hmm… I think I could have something for you.” She spoke to herself. “Hollie, what did Haley say?” I tried not to seem panicked and desperate. “So Haley found out that our maid had taken your clothes. She thought they may have been left over by some boy who might have stayed the night here and did as she has been instructed to, she donated them. So you have nothing until we go shopping tomorrow. But that’s ok! I have lots of stuff you can borrow! We seem about the same size, so no need to panic! And then after tomorrow you’ll have so many cute things to wear, it’ll be so hard to pick just a single outfit!” She said cheerfully. 

What!?! My mind raced! I have no clothes to wear!?! I have to wear her clothes tomorrow!?!? This is not the impression I wanted to give. How could this be happening!? These girls are going to see me as some sissy or something! I was trying to stay calm, but it was a struggle. “It’s going to be ok sweetie, I have great style, you’ll look great! I’ll pick out something that’s very flattering, I promise! After all, it’s me and Haley that created the designs for our uniforms! You can just sleep in that and just head over to my room in the morning!” She seemed so calm and reassuring. 

I took a deep breath, I guess she’ll make sure I don't look girly or anything, so this should be ok. “Alright, thank you, and thank you for all of your help, Hollie. This days has just been a lot of excitement. Mostly great! But that was quite a shock.” 

“Of course Jaycee! You’re my girl! It’s my job to take care of you! I’m going to go back to my room and finish my show and go to bed.” She got up off my bed, her sexy beautiful body looking stunning in her sheer lingerie. “Don’t forget to review your contract and the employee handbook sometime soon.” She tapped her long pretty nails on the stack of paper on my desk as she walked by. Her hips swaying in a seductive captivating way. My tiny dick started to get hard as I stared at her ass as she walked. She stopped in the hallway to my door and turned around. “Oh, if you get “lonely” tonight, there’s a “gift” in your far nightstand drawer, compliments from all of us monster girls!” She smiled and winked this sexy flirty wink and then turned around and walked out my door. I could hear her giggle and say “Have fun girl!” Just before the door closed. 

And just like that, the spell I seemed to be under was broken! I looked down, my face red with embarrassment. Had she seen my erection? I looked at the sheer flowy dress and couldn’t even tell I was hard under the black thong. I guess I got in her panties, just not the way I thought. Wait, why did she say I was her “girl”? And what was in the drawer? I waisted no time. I got up and walked over to the other side of my bed and opened the dawer. I almost jumped back! 

In the drawer was a note, underneath was a ginormous dildo! It must have been at least ten inches long! And it was thicker than my arm! Not that I have thick arms or anything. There was also some lube, a small vibrator, some handcuffs, condoms, and something that I think was an enema. I was so scared and confused! I think this must be some joke! I carefully grabbed the note, trying not to touch the simulated giant male member. “Welcome to the Monster Girls Jaycee!! We are so happy to have you girl! We never want one of our girls getting lonely, so here’s a small gift for those nights you don’t have some hot guy in your bed!! Don’t worry, you'll lose that virginity in no time! For all the Monster Girls to you, have fun! Ps And don’t forget to practice those deep throat skills! We are all known to be some of the best!”

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??! There must be some mistake!? They must be confused!?? What is happening!!? In a panic, I threw the note back into the drawer and closed it. This must all be some prank or something!? I picked up my phone. I saw that Haley had texted me the plans for tomorrow. I also noticed the previous texts from my mom. I opened them. 

“I’m so sorry sweetie! I love you Jaycee! You’re my baby! I will always love you! I wish I could have made myself more available and open. I wish you could have felt like you could have been open and honest with me! I hope you’re not running off because you thought I wouldn’t have understood! You could have started transitioning so much sooner! I don’t care that you don’t want to be a boy, I always saw you as feminine anyway! I am so happy to have you as my daughter! I will always be proud of you! I just hope I wasn’t a terrible mother! I hope it wasn’t my fault that you didn’t feel like you could be the girl you are so much sooner! Please call me when you can! I love you sweetie!” 

It’s like my whole world stopped. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!? WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT!?! Then I looked over at the contact sitting on my desk. What the hell did I get myself into!?!? I slowly picked up the contract and started reading. I don’t think I have ever read something so fast in my life. 

HOW DID I LET THIS HAPPEN!?! HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO FOOLISH!?! I SHOULD HAVE READ THE WHOLE ADVERTISEMENT! I SHOULD HAVE READ THIS LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BEFORE I SIGNED IT!! 

It said that I was part of their new diversity program. The goal was to hire a trans woman to join the Monster Energy Girls. If I were to back out or disobey the contact, I would be held liable for the expense of $300,000! I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY!! I have to be a trans woman and participate in and with all the things the monster energy girls are required to do. Also, if I turn out not to be a trans girl, they will persecute me as a sexual offender, since I will be rooming, living, changing, and engaging in “intimate activities” with these women. In other words, I'm forced to live my life as a woman, or I will go to jail and owe an insane amount of money. The worst part is, I don’t just have to live as a woman, I have to BE a Monster Energy Girl! I have to dress a specific way at all times, I have strict beauty and body standards, I also have a unique modeling conditions. As well as “other personal services” that I will have to render to whoever the company demands. 

I sat on the edge of my bed, stunned. The reality of my situation flooding over me. I started to cry, realizing that, no matter what, my life was over. It was jail, or being slutty a girl. I looked down at my tears as they fell onto my sexy sheer nightgown and saw my girly body. I realized if I went to prison, I'd just end up a girl there too. At least here I’m treated well, well paid, free travel, free education. I'd have to suck dick and get fucked in my ass I guess. But that would happen no matter what I chose from this point on. I guess I get to choose if I want to have pretty makeup, wear a sexy outfit, and have this view of the ocean while I do it. Or If I want to have some makeshift skirt out of some prison uniform and be forced to do it by some guy, or guys, with the view of a brick wall. 

When I thought about it that way, I guess my decision wasn’t so hard. I couldn’t tell a soul that I didn’t want to be a girl, that I wasn’t a trans girl. I couldn’t show any hesitation. Everyone has to think I want this, or I’ll be roughly forced by the guys in prison to become a girl anyway. I wiped the tears from my eyes. I’m not gay. I don’t want this. Maybe once it’s all over in four years, I can just move on and finally get a girlfriend. I had to wait four years in high school. What’s four more? Although in high school I was never someone’s girlfriend!

There was nothing I could do about this now. I looked at the time, 1:30! Oh my god, it’s late! I have been dealing with this for hours! I just need to sleep. I have to wake up so soon! I set my alarm on my phone and laid down. My mind racing, it felt impossible to sleep. I laid there, for what felt like an eternity. I looked at the time again, 3:30. Oh my god, I’m not going to get to sleep tonight. I felt like I had to fight this thing, like I had to confront my situation head on. Like I had to adapt or die. 

I felt this strange pull to the nightstand drawer. I rolled over and opened it. There it was, that massive dildo. Or at least I felt like that was massive. I sat up, and slowly reached down into the drawer. My hand slowly reached around the large plastic object. It was so thick my fingers couldn’t even come close to reaching around it. I pulled it out of the drawer and just looked at it in my small hand. It was so heavy! I reached down a felt my own to compare. It was like it wasn’t even there in comparison. My dick started to tingle from me touching it and I quickly stopped. I placed both of my hands on this massive cock, it extended well past my grasp. I don’t know what compelled me to do this, but I pulled the tip right to my lips and kissed it. I quickly pulled it away! It frightened me! It was like my body just did it without me thinking! 

And then I did it again, but I didn’t pull away this time. I just kissed it again, and again, softly and gently. Each time, I slowly put more and more of the head of this dick in my mouth. My mind was in a flutter and my stomach had butterflies in it. I kept kissing this cock, and before I knew it, the whole head was in my mouth and I slowly, rhythmically sucked on this dick. Back and forth. I laid back and kept sucking it. I noticed my little dick getting hard. Do I like this?! My eyes closed, and I gently sucked this cock, I found myself drifting off to sleep, but for some reason I couldn’t stop. My small little micro dick hard and dripping with precum as I sucked this monster cock until I fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up in a startle to the sound of my alarm. Like I had been caught doing something I shouldn’t have been doing. Yesterday felt like a dream. But sadly it was not. The huge dildo lying next to my face as I opened my eyes. I sat up and looked around the room. The beautiful view of the distant ocean welcomed me. I looked at the sexy lingerie I had slept in. I would have died and gone to heaven if I had been in bed with a girl who was wearing this. And sucked my cock until she fell asleep. I guess that will never happen now. I turned off my alarm, and walked over to the contract on my desk. I had to reread it. I had to make sure what I had read was correct. Unfortunate it was. I am legally obligated to become a girl. A beautiful, sexy, slutty, eye-candy girl. I sighed and walked to the bathroom. I sat to pee, without thinking. I guess I was already doing that. My mom would get so mad at me when I was little for getting pee on the seat. So I just sat to pee. I guess I’ve been doing it my whole life. 

I was going to shower but realized I had nothing to wear. I quietly opened the door and gently knocked on Hollies' door. I didn’t want Kayla to see me like this. I don’t know why, it was completely hopeless for her to ever see me as a guy, I'm sure she already didn’t! But I still didn’t want this to happen. Hollie answered the door with a smile on her face. She seemed well awake and was already in the middle of doing her makeup. “Hey girl! How did you sleep?” She said cheerfully. “I slept ok, not much. I guess it was just a lot to take in. You know being in such a new situation and all. I was finally able to relax and eventually feel asleep though!” I said, trying to match her excitement, but I was clearly too sleepy too. “You said you had something I could wear today? I was going to shower, but I thought I’d pick it out first.” Hoping I'd find something kind of masculine in her closet. 

“I know! It’s a lot to take in, huh? I could hardly sleep my first night too! Don’t you worry about that! I’ll pick something tots cute for you and bring it over! You feel free to jump in the shower, we’re running out of time! Oh, and don't do your make up!” She giggled” I guess you don’t have some anymore now, huh? Since the maid took your stuff! So I guess it works out! Our first stop is the salon anyway!” She seemed so happy, I didn’t know if I was happy or dreading the news. I also really worried what she might get me. “Ok” is all I could get out, desperately trying not to show my misery. “I popped by your room earlier to get you to come over and pick something out, but you were still asleep! I’m glad to see our little gift help put you to sleep!” She smiled and winked and she closed the door. 

Oh my god!! She saw me lying there with that huge dildo on my face! I felt so humiliated! I walked back to my room and started to cry as I got in the shower. I can’t believe this is happening to me! Halfway through my shower I heard Hollies' voice! “Hey Jaycee! I got something super cute and fun for you to wear for your big shopping trip today! You’re going to love it! I’ll just lay it out on the bed!” The shopping trip now had a whole new meaning to me. It was going to be any girl's dream, but my nightmare. “Thanks!” I shouted back. Oh no, what the hell did she get me? 

I dried off as quickly as I could and rushed to see what she had laid out on the bed. Satin black thong panties and a matching strapless bra. Next to them was a short strapless leather dress. And on the floor were a pair of black heels. My heart sank. I didn’t want to wear something quite so girly. Or sexy. I sighed and thought about running over to her room, but I noticed she had taken the nightgown she had given me last night, so that wasn’t an option. Plus, I was quickly running out of time. I walked over and picked up the panties. They felt so soft in my hands. I slid them up my hairless legs, and they felt great against my body. I didn’t even seem to mind the part riding up my ass. My “manhood” hardly even makes a bump in them. 

I grabbed the bra and strapped it on. It was a push-up bra, and my little bumps looked more like small perky breasts. I looked in the mirror and realize just how much like a hot girl I looked. I grabbed the dress. The feel of the leather was so smooth and inviting. I noticed the zipper was in the back. It was a small struggle to get it on, but I managed. It fit my body like a glove, I really did look so girly and sexy. I slipped the heels on and noticed it was a little weird walking in them, but I felt like I took to them naturally. 

As I looked at myself in the mirror, Kayla knocked on the door as she let herself in. “Wow girl! You look stunning! Hollie told me what happened to your clothes, but I see she took great care of you! You look fabulous!” She spoke with such cheerfulness. I blushed both from embarrassment and from the genuine complaint. “Thank you, Kayla.” I softly spoke. I really had to be careful not to show my hesitation about my feminization, or I could end up in jail. Today was going to be very difficult. I was just hoping that the first day as a girl would be the worst day.

Kayla told me that Haley was here and ready to start our day. We started to leave, and I felt a little silly just holding my phone and wallet. So Kayla offered me a purse. A small black leather bag that matched the dress. As I walked out to the car, in my leather dress, holding my little purse, my heels clicking with each step, I officially started my first day as a girl. 

I got into the back of the car next to Kayla and Haley started to drive. The ride was mostly filled with small talk. And before I knew it, we pulled up in front of this beautiful luxury salon. Haley asked with excitement, “Ok girl, are you ready for your new look?” All I could do was smile and nod in agreement. We all walked in, and it was unlike any salon I’d ever seen. It was nicer than a five-start hotel! It was beautiful! And so we’re the women working there! The receptionist was perfect in every way. Haley walked up to her to check in, and I just couldn’t help but look around everywhere. I felt very out of place. 

My amazement was interrupted by another perfectly beautiful woman appearing from one of the doors. “Haley!” She yelled. “It’s so great to see you darling!” “It’s always great to see you Allie!” Haley replied just as cheerfully as the two hugged. “Ladies it’s so great to see you too! The girls are ready to help all of you!” Allie looked over at the rest of us. Then she looked right at me. 

“And you! You must be the new girl! You come with me dear!” Her enthusiasm and energy was almost too intense. I had only seen people act this way in movies or tv. I didn’t know people were actually this way! “Oh, Haley’s told me all about you! But I must say dear, you are quite the babe! Haley told me you were single! That just can’t be true! You must be fighting men off you every day! ” She took me by the arm as she spoke and started walking me to the door she had entered from. I looked back at the girls but they were all walking off to another rooms. 

Allie opened the door for me and I walked in as she continued to talk. “Now Haley told me you’re one of my favorite types of girl! One of the ones who’ve chosen to be a girl! I swear you trans women really go for it! You’re often more womanly than most women..” she kept talking as she motioned for me to sit in this beautiful chair. I was surrounded by marble and wealth. It hardly resembled a salon at all. Then suddenly another girl appeared and interrupted Allie. “Hello miss, would you like anything to drink?” I looked at her a little stunned. “Oh, uhh…” I wasn’t sure what to ask for. Allie chimed in. “You can get anything, my love. Coffee, water, sparking or still. Wine, cocktail, whatever you’d like!” 

“Oh, I’m only 18.” I said shyly and still confused. “Who cares about that sweetie! Besides, you’re not driving!” She then looked at her assistant “Get her the special, she’ll love it!” And without any time to interject, her assistant turned around and left. “OK, so Haley and I have already talked, we’re going to give you the Monster energy girl treatment! But before I get started, I need to know if you have any objections to anything? Length? Color? Style? Anything?” She was so energetic it was a little overwhelming. “Umm, not really.” I said quietly with a slight smile. “Great! They sit back, relax, and I’ll get to work! So when did you first start your transition?! You must have been quite young! You look way too perfect of a girl to have ever been a boy…” she just kept talking as she started to play with my hair. 

I was mostly quiet as she worked. I mostly only talked in reply to a question, but I kept my answers short. I was very nervous about what was happening to me. About halfway through, another girl, Scarlett, showed up to start doing my makeup. She asked about my experience and when I told her I had almost none, she was so shocked. Allie explained that I recently transitioned, so I’m new to being a girl. I felt like that wasn’t enough, so I added that I grew up poor, and we didn’t have extra money for makeup. I knew that wasn’t exactly true. I also had no interest in it, obviously. But I did know that even if I had, we really didn’t have the money for it. 

“Well then you must feel like a fairy tale princess with all of this!” Scarlett said with excitement! “Yes, it’s all been quite a surprise. I wasn’t quite sure what I had gotten myself into!” I giggled. They clearly had no idea what I meant. “Well, I’m excited! Most girls have a tone of make-up and skin-care bad habits that are a pain to correct! But you’ll be like a clean slate! Now please pay close attention, you’ll have to recreate my work perfectly!” It was obvious she was serious about her craft. 

I paid as close attention as I could. I had no idea what all went into makeup! It’s so much work!! And girls do this every morning!? This gave me a whole new respect for them! As the girls worked on me, in between the instructions, I learned more about the salon. This is a place where tons of models, movie stars, celebrities, etc go to get their hair and makeup done. They have everything, and they do everything. Allie and Scarlett both gave me their phone numbers and their instagrams so I could get ahold of them any time I had questions, or needed to schedule an appointment. I also learned this place was very, very expensive! This huge makeover was thousands of dollars! And then, on top of that, they sold me make up, skin care, and hair products to do this at home! Another couple thousand dollars just like that! Thank god Monster was paying for all of this! 

The other girls were waiting for me, and Allie call them in to see my transformation. I hadn’t even seen the final result yet. They came rushing in, all very excited about seeing the new me. Their reactions told me I must have resembled a pretty girl. “Oh my god! Girl you’re even prettier than I thought you would be!” Kayla said, covering her mouth as if to hold in her excitement! “Jaycee, you’re beautiful! So incredibly sexy! Wow, I love your hair!!” Hollie chimed in. “You look so good girl! And an absolute bombshell! You’ll defiantly fit right in with the rest of the monster energy girls!” Haley was clearly very satisfied with the results. 

I was incredibly nervous as they spun me around to see myself in the mirror. My mouth dropped. I couldn’t believe my eyes!  There’s no way that was me!! I was completely unrecognizable! I looked like the girl of my dreams! My long blond hair now had a much more feminine cut, and was styled to perfection. My makeup was also perfection! I never got to see the whole look, everything I saw in the small mirror Scarlett had given me was close-up detail work. 

My eyebrows were shaped into a much prettier, girly arch. My eye make up was stunning. My long black eyelash extensions with my dark smokey eyes could have seduced any man alive! My small cute little nose was perfectly contoured, and my skin was flawlessly smooth. My lips were incredibly large and kissable! They looked completely like dick sucking lips! And were covered in shiny lip gloss!! I looked like a doll! I couldn’t believe how pretty I looked! I felt a mixture of humiliation and embarrassment as well as strangely happy to be so pretty! What is wrong with me?   

I was so shocked as to how I looked that I could hardly respond to anyone. As we left the salon it all felt like some weird dream. I was in a haze. We all got back into the car and started off to our next stop. I wasn’t even paying attention to what they said. 

I just pulled my phone out of my purse and stared at myself in the camera. I couldn’t believe this was me I was looking at! The girls kept talking, complementing me on how I looked. I was responding without even thinking. I can’t even remember what we talked about. Before I knew it, we stopped the car outside some building, and it shook me back to reality. 

“Are you ready sweetie!?” Haley said as the girls started to get out of the car. I also got out and noticed Monster Energy in large letters on the side of the building. “Um yes? What are we doing? I’m sorry, I’m just still in shock over how I look! I’ve never had a makeover like this before! I had no idea I could look like this! It’s just really taken me back!” I said as we walked to the building. “That’s ok sweetie! You look gorgeous! I’m taking you to go meet some of our executives. My boss, his boss, and then a few other important individuals. The other girls are just going to hang out, and we will meet them after!” She seemed very excited. “Am I dressed appropriately for this? It doesn’t feel very professional. I feel like I’m dressed a little scandales.” I desperately hoped that somehow I could change my clothes into something less slutty! 

“Oh no you look great! This is exactly how you should look at all times! We’re Monster Energy Girls! We’re supposed to be eye candy sweetie. Sexy and flirty at all times!” She said flirtatiously with a big smile, further demonstrating her point. I hated to hear this. But there wasn’t much I could do about it. “I just wanted to make a good impression.” I said softly, trying to hide my nervousness and my heart break that this is my new life. The other girl left us as Haley and I got into an elevator. “Don’t worry, you look great!” She said as the doors closed.

The ride was quick and over before I knew it. The doors opened to a very fancy office. From behind her desk, a receptionist stood up to greet us. She was absolutely beautiful! She wore a statin white button up top with the top buttons undone to show off her cleavage and the top of her bra. She had a very tight long leather pencil skirt that went down to her very sexy caves and was so tight you could see her straps from her garter belt. Her stocking legs led down to her black patent leather six inch “fuck me” pumps. She looked like she belonged more in a porno than in a actual office. 

“Haley! It’s so great to see you girl!” She said, walking around her desk to give Haley a hug. “Cindy, it’s so great to see you too!” Watching these two sexy girls dressed like sluts give each other a hug like that was so sexy! I had a hard time believing this was real! My little dick started to strain against the tight thong. Thank god my erections are so small and weak that the fabric could keep it contained, or it would had caused a small bump in the front of my short, tight leather dress.

“And you much be Jaycee! Our new Monster girl! And a very sexy girl at that!” She said with a big smile on her face “thank you. that’s so kind of you to say! sorry I’m a little nervous!” I said quietly. “Oh don’t worry doll, they are going to love you! They're already waiting! Go on!” She gestured down the hall and Healy started walking. “Thanks babe! Let’s go clubbing soon!” She said with excitement to Cindy and we walked away. I followed her down a few halls to a big wooden door, my heart pounding. Healy opened it and I followed her inside. I felt like I could hardly move. 

The room was large, the whole opposing wall was one large window. There was a large conference desk by the door, but behind that was a few leather couches, a large tv and a full bar. I didn’t expect how nice everything was. There were several men all sitting and talking on the couches. 

As we entered the room, their attention shifted to us, and they started to get up to meet us. They were all so tall, so well built, and all in very nice suits. They looked like men most women would fantasize about.

“Hey Haley! Great to see you girl!” One guy spoke, his deep voice filling the room. He walked over and gave her a hug. His huge size made Haley seem so small. “It’s always great to see you sir!” She spoke as she hugged him back. Her face slightly blushing. She clearly liked him. “This is Jaycee! The winner of the MEGE! Jaycee this is Greg! He’s my boss's boss's boss!! I actually didn’t expect you to be here today sir!” She blushed more as she spoke. “I happened to be in the building. Jaycee it’s so nice to meet you! You are so pretty! Haley did a great job picking you!” He spoke as he shook my hand. My hand was so small I’m comparison. “Thank you sir! I’m very happy and grateful for this opportunity!”  I hardly squeaked out, my heart racing and I could hardly breath. I felt so small and weak compared to this man, and he looked at me with lust in his eyes.

“We are always happy to expand on our beautiful promo girls! They all look so sexy and keep people looking in our direction. They also keep the guys happy and satisfied, so they can focus on kicking ass at their jobs. I have no doubt that you will meet our standards. Why don't you give us a little twirl.” Greg commanded, his deep voice filling the room. All the other men standing behind him, staring at me with lust in their eyes too. 

I nodded my head and slowly turned around. “Stop.” Some man's voice rang out once my back was to them. I froze in place. “That’s a very nice ass girl, move it a little!” The same mystery voice commanded. My heart racing, these big strong men demanding I turn them on with my body. I DON'T EVEN LIKE MEN!! But I knew I had no choice. I slowly and smoothly wiggled my ass, swaying my hips back and forth, desperately trying to recreate videos I’ve seen of girls doing this. I had no idea how well I was doing, but I just hoped they didn’t hate it, so they wouldn’t fire me and send me to jail! 

I just kept dancing, it felt like it was a long time, maybe a minute or two. No one spoke, and I couldn’t see anyone to even gauge their reactions. Finally, I heard a man’s voice, “Thank you, Jaycee, you can turn around now.” My heart was racing so fast! I slowly turned. They were all staring at me, lust still full in their eyes and they each and a noticeable bulge in their pants! OH MY GOD, THEY ALL HAVE HUGE COCKS!  My eyes widened with shock, I felt gross, embarrassed, humiliated, and objectified. 

Haley spoke up, breaking the silence with her sexy voice, “She's very sexy, right boys?” All the men seemed to agree. “So we have everyone’s approval?” She continued. They all seemed to still be in a trance, they just responded with yes. “Great! Then I’ll take this little slut to go get some sexy, fun, new clothes! We have a tight schedule! We’ll see you all later!” Healy said as she started to practically push me out of the room. I was happy to leave, it felt like if I were to stay any longer something bad might have happened. 

As we walked out the door and down the hall to the elevator, Haley whispered in my ear. “I could tell you were getting very nervous, and I know you’re still a virgin, let alone even sucked a guy off yet! So I wanted to get out of there as fast as I could, most of the time that “interview” gets very, um, “physical” let’s say. I don’t think that’s how you would like to lose your virginity! But we'll help you lose that thing very soon, don't you worry girl!” 

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! I’m so incredibly thankful that Healy was looking out for me. That would have been terrible, but I still wasn't looking forward to having to be sexual with some guy! “Thank you so much Healy! Yeah, I wouldn’t have liked that very much.” I whispered back as we got in the elevator. My nerves shaking from the thought of what could have happened. We met the other girls back in the lobby and walked back out to the car. 

I was shaken up by what had just happened, but that seemed to fade away on our long drive to LA. There was lots of traffic, but the ride was filled with good music and great conversation with the girls. I really felt like I was starting to become their friend. I just fit in with them so well. We were on our way to a shopping trip of every girl's dream, but I knew it was the final step of sealing my fate of becoming a girl forever. This is the final step to make this real.

We arrived at our first stop. We had to park down the street and walk to the shop. I still felt so valuable and noticed all the men checking me out and cat calling at me. I was so humiliated and embarrassed! As we rounded the corner, there in front of the store, were close to a dozen beautiful women who all looked incredibly sexy, and we all dressed scandalously. I knew right away these must be the rest of the Monster Energy Girls.

 As soon as one of them spotted us, they all started yelling and jumping with excitement. They came rushing toward us, the sound of all of their heels clicking was almost overwhelming. They swarmed us with hugs and excited comments to make. It was like being in the middle of a sexy bee hive with all the greetings being exchanged. They all wanted to meet me and introduce themselves to me personally. 

I tried to be as friendly and as enthusiastic in return, but I was torn with the fact that I will be working with these stunning sexy girls that id love to fuck. The fact that I would never be able to to fuck them, but instead be fucking men right along with them broke my heart. I tried to keep myself from totally falling apart as we entered the store. The next few hours were a blur as we went from store to store with these beautiful women swarming around me thrusting outfit after outfit of sexy women’s clothes for me to try on. I don’t know exactly how many clothes and shoes they bought me, but I know that every single thing I would have fantasized about some slut wearing for me to fuck. The whole day just flew by, and before I knew it, we were back at our house and the girls were flooding my room helping fill my closet with my new clothes.

After they all helped me complete my new closet, we had food ordered in, and it was like a huge party but just with those sexy girls. I felt like I just fit right in I got along with all of them so well and if I forgot about the tight leather dress and heels I was wearing, I felt really comfortable with all of them. We all had some drinks and some gossip, and it was actually pretty fun. 

The evening had just flown by and when I finally realized it was after two in the morning I decided to call it a night and head up to my room. Most of the girls had either left by then or found a place in one of the spare rooms or couches to sleep. Six or seven girls were still up when I said goodnight to the rest of the girls. At the top of the stairs, I peered into the spare bedroom and saw five girls sleeping on the same bed, clearly all passed out drunk.  Kayla popped her head out of her room, she was wearing a super sexy nightgown that hardly covered any of her body. “Hey, what did you think of your first girls' day?” She spoke sweetly.

“It was a lot of fun, you girls really know how to party!” I said with a sleepy smile. My feet were killing me from these heels, but I was getting turned on just looking at Kayla in her lingerie. It's my second night here and my second time being this close to a super hot girl dressed like she’s in a porno. I could hardly believe it! “You look so sexy.” I just blurted out, realizing my voice sounded just as girly as all the other drunk girls complimenting each other all night. “Aw thank you so much! I love this outfit. I wear it when I’m feeling horny! If there was a guy here, Id let him do whatever he wanted to me! I’m sure you know the feeling!” She spoke in a quiet, almost seductive tone. It was arousing me so much. It must have been my drunk mind not thinking clearly, but I slurred, “What about me?”  

She seemed too drunk to understand that I was saying that she could let me fuck her. Instead, she seemed to think that I also wanted to get fucked by some guy with her. “That could be fun, us both sharing the same hung stud, taking turns railing us both! Don’t worry, I’m not too selfish, I’m pretty good at sharing, I don’t just totally hog the guy! Rumor has it you're still a virgin?” she smiled and winked at me as she started back into her room. “You better practice with that toy we got you! If you can’t get it all the way down your throat you really won’t cut it as one of us. I’m going to go play with mine. I suggest you do the same. Have fun girl! Good night!” She said in a very sexual voice as she closed her door.

I slowly entered my room, for some reason I was both horrified but also totally turned on by what she said. My little micro dick was leaking precum. I entered my bathroom and started the hot water for the shower. I slipped off my heels and put my hair up into a bun. I took my leather dress off, and admired the smooth feel of it in my hands. I actually kind of liked wearing it all day, the constant feeling and reminder of is sexy and inviting texture was kind of arousing. I see why most of these girls were wearing leather of some kind. It looked super sexy and felt super sexy. 

I got in the shower and carefully washed my makeup off my face. My mind was racing about the whole day, but the words of Haley and Kayla promising my lost virginity in the near future repeated the most. I was terrified and dreading that day. I dried myself off and slipped into bed naked. I reached over and opened the drawer with the massive dildo inside. I picked it up. It now represented the rest of my sex life. The sooner I become ok with that, the sooner my life will improve. But that was a lot to take in. I'm in no way interested in sleeping with a man! I was too tired and too drunk to think anymore. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.

David Smith at The Guardian:

The blueprint for a potential second Donald Trump presidency known as Project 25 would take “a wrecking ball” to America’s democratic norms and institutions, a leading Democrat has warned. Representative Jared Huffman spoke to the Guardian before the launch of a congressional working group designed to sound the alarm about the rightwing roadmap and ensure that Trump never has the chance to implement its extreme agenda. The near 900-page Project 2025 handbook was produced by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative thinktank in Washington, as a manifesto for expanding the power of the presidency while dismantling layers of government. It recommends purging the federal ranks of many appointed roles and stacking agencies with loyalists. This would lay waste to democratic institutions, checks on executive power, individual rights and freedoms, and church-state separation in order to impose a far-right agenda, Huffman said. “You can look at what they’re going to do to our democracy: weaponising the Department of Justice, clearing away any norms that limit executive power.

“You can look at what they’re going to do to the civil service with ‘Schedule F’ [an executive order Trump issued in 2020 that sought to strip job protections from tens of thousands of federal employees], putting their political operatives throughout the government and firing people based on political loyalty to Donald Trump. “[Look at] what they would obviously do for women’s reproductive freedom and rolling back rights and protections for the LGBTQ community. Church-state separation – in the name of religious freedom, allowing all of this discrimination and further embedding Christian privilege into our government and public policies. It goes on and on.” Founding members of the Stop Project 2025 Task Force joining Huffman are Ted Lieu, vice-chair of the Democratic Caucus; Nanette Barragán, chair of the Hispanic Caucus; Judy Chu, chair of the Asian Pacific American Caucus; Mark Pocan, chair of the Equality Caucus and Labor Caucus; Diana DeGette, co-chair of the Pro-Choice Caucus; Jamie Raskin, co-chair of the Freethought Caucus and ranking member of the House oversight committee; and Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Progressive Caucus.

Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) is the lead person heading up a task force named the Stop Project 2025 Task Force.

The task force is created to warn the American people the dangers about Project 2025.
