Nothing To Gain, Unless... (Kyouya Ootori x Fem!Host!Reader)

Fandom: Ouran High School Host Club

Fanfiction By: @rmorningstar21​

Pairing: Kyouya Ootori x Fem!Host!Reader

Warnings: Minor violence, suggestive situation, AU where Reader is the one that stirs up issues at the beach (Episode 8 basis if I’m remembering correctly).  This one is INCREDIBLY old, but I wanted to finally get it out of my Google Docs.  Tumblr Exclusive.  As are all my one-shots, this is college aged AU! WC: 1321

"Senpai?" You questioned curiously, peeking into the relatively extravagant white room of the beach house.  You could feel a hint of shame about you, knowing that the others had been worried.  Even though you had not felt at the time that you did anything overly wrong, three men were too much for you to fight off on your own.  The women you were attempting to protect just ended up scared, confused, and saw you in such a vulnerable state, while you ended up with a black eye.  

As your eyes scanned the room, you hardly recognized Kyouya with his hair so dampened, glasses upon the stand as he relaxed.  Cool gray eyes shifted to you, noticing your clear confusion as he chuckled softly.  "No need to look so surprised," he spoke with clear amusement in his tone as he ushered you further into his room.   

You closed the door quietly, chuckling softly in your own bashfulness as you walked closer to him.  "You…" you started, unsure how to word what you were planning to say.   "I've never seen you without your glasses, I'm sorry."  With your words, your cheeks darkened the slightest bit with blush, y/e/c eyes shifting from his gray gaze as you placed a bashful hand against the back of your head.  Words grew softer as your gaze shifted back to the man, remembering your initial objective.  "I came here to...apologize.  I didn't mean to cause worry." 

Scoffing softly, he removed the towel from his head and tossed it against the chair he had been sitting on.  "I wasn't overly concerned," he spoke with a slight sting to his words.  "It was a bother trying to separate the twins and Tamaki from the men, though.  They nearly beat them to death." 

You sighed softly, a frown prominent against your lips as you nodded.  "Surely," you replied barely above a whisper.  Though there were so many things you wanted to say, wanting to defend your actions, you knew there was not much you could do.  Instead, your y/e/c eyes shifted as you watched him walk across the room, passing you as you could practically feel his heat against your skin.  

"I had to send the women flowers to apologize," he spoke, practically in your ear as he stood behind you.  

"I could, uh, I can pay for the flowers," you spoke softly.  "If that could help." 

"Each bouquet cost fifty thousand yen," he chided, a smirk stretching across his face as he walked closer to the wall, dimming the lights.  "You could pay me back another way.  With your body." 

As he spoke, he gripped onto your wrist, tossing you against his bed as he climbed on top of you.  Palms on either side of you, you were left at Kyouya's mercy, staring up into cool gray eyes.  His black hair, still a little damp, oriented down towards you messily.  

You could feel your breath hitch in your throat as Kyouya had been on top of you, half clothed as his expression had not faltered.  He stared down upon you as if you were defenseless, a hint of lust shimmering in those gray eyes of his, and you could feel your heart speeding in your chest.  Biting your lip the slightest bit, you found your mind clouding.  

"You can't be so naive to think your gender doesn't matter," he chided, nearly playfully as he stared down upon you.  "It's reckless, thinking you could have control of the situation." 

Noticing what Kyouya was doing, you had not been naïve.  Pulling your wits about you, you reached your arms up to his neck as you swept his legs, sending him onto his back as you took the spot atop of him.  Gaining dominance over the black haired male, the shock in his gray eyes, you wanted to say so many things.  You wanted to say that you can defend yourself, that even his little lesson about you being defenseless was trumped by you taking control.  Breath reflecting off of his lips as you pinned him, you frowned.  

Allowing a sigh to escape your lips, you rose off the bed, to your feet, wordlessly.  "You have no gain here, you know," you spoke as your y/e/c eyes shifted out to the darkened sky.   "You know it as well as I that even if I hadn't pinned you, you wouldn't have laid a hand upon me." 

"Oh?" He questioned, moving to sit upon the bed as he chuckled softly.  He hadn't realized how truly adept you were, how easily you could read him.  "You are quite the peculiar woman, Y/N." 

"It's regretful," you spoke, still staring out that window as you felt a pang in your heart.  "If I could be half as naive as your fans, just maybe I would have relished in that moment, how objectively pleasing it was to stare up at your handsome face and see what I could fool myself to be lust.  From the moment we met, I knew who you were, and yet…" 

"I'm not sure if I should be insulted or flattered," he chimed in, clearly oriented towards you, though you could not pinpoint if he had moved from the bed or still sat upon it.  

Moving your fingers to graze the chilled glass of the window, your lips had not curled upwards as your y/e/c eyes closed.  "I'm sure you shouldn't be either," you spoke, your voice with a hint of a chill.  "I'm not stating anything you're naïve to.  I'm not ruling out the fact that you did this little...display to emphasize the concern I pushed onto the others.  That in itself shows your kindness.  I guess, I'm just reminding myself of my place." 

"And where may that be?" He questioned, a hint of intrigue in his tone.  

Scoffing, you opened your eyes once more as your y/e/c eyes shifted to the now starry sky.  "Someone you objectively care for, and yet," you started, allowing a sigh to escape your lips, "not someone who proves a gain for you to take any further." 

"Is that something you want, Y/N?" He questioned, clearly intrigued by your sudden confession.  "Do you have feelings for me?" 

"You keep yourself informed of everyone, senpai," you replied with a knife to your tone.  "You can't convince me that you'd be naïve to something like that." 

"Do you truly just believe I'm a robot, climbing without a hint of emotion?" He questioned as slender arms moved to snake around your waist, the closeness in his voice showing you that he had managed to sneak up behind you when you were too enthralled in your speech.  "If I happen to have feelings towards you, would that not prove to be a gain?"  Pausing, he sighed softly.  "I'm not saying I would have taken advantage of your body." 

Feeling his warmth wrapped around you caused your stomach to tighten with butterflies, heart pattering in your chest as your head rested back the slightest bit upon his bare chest.  "Putting it that way," you replied softly, "is appealing, rather tempting for that matter.  I cannot say I'm not skeptical of your confession." 

Kyouya chuckled softly at your words, though a smile slipped across his face.  "I'm sure with time that skepticism will fade," he teased softly as he moved to press a gentle kiss upon the top of your head.  "That is, if you would do me the honor of being my girlfriend." 

Biting your lip gently, you could not help the way you melted in his embrace.  You found the words slipping past your lips before you had the chance to counter them.  "Nothing would make me happier," you murmured softly.  Kyouya Ootori had proven to be your weakness, and though you were skeptical of his feelings, you were aflutter at the knowledge that he had been yours.

The Stuff of Legends

Congrats to our runners-up this week! @nicolbolas96 with Eternal Pilgrim wins next best reinterpretation of the epithet, @wilsonosgoodmcman wins next coolest card, and @nine-effing-hells wins next best overall card!

~

Eternal Pilgrim

Straight, simple, and to the point. The first land that dies each turn goes to your hand. If anything, I’d say make it a tap ability, but I like that it can still attack. That’s what these types of decks normally want to do: get a little value every so often but still get in there with their creatures. It’s not something I often see in designs. But what gets it the runner-up spot is how “eternal” here is less a reference to the creature itself (no indestructible or regeneration) but a reference to the eternal witnesses. That makes this a card that references one card by referencing another! I haven’t seen that since force of negation. It’s a very clever way to reinterpret the epithet. I will say, this feels maybe a little too easy to break in eternal formats, but what else is new? A darn good job.

Eternities Crafter

This card took a bit to warm up to. The first ability scared me, but I think it would work in a set with rebound or cascade or something. I’ll assume it’s not breaking anything. I will say I think the phrasing needs to change, since roiling vortex implies it would be “whenever you cast a spell, if no mana was spent to cast it, create a treasure token.” The second ability had me worried, but also sort of bored me, since an extra turn was about what I would have exected from the name. But the extra text there is so… juicy. It asks for so much, but it feels worth it. It asks for 7 treasures, which is a lot, but 3 more would win you the game anyway with revel in riches. The fact that treasures, by their nature, don’t need you to untap with them, means you could in theory activate this right away without giving your opponent a chance to respond, but the sorcery speed restriction really helps there. At the same time, no one wants to spend their removal on such a dinky little creature that probably only made a couple of those treasures. It’s a really neat thing to ask from a player. However, it’s basically never going to happen. The risk reward is at such an insane level. If you have five treasures, are you really going to wait until you make two more treasures and give your opponent a time to respond, or are you just going to take an extra turn? Especially since, by the time you have gotten those treasures, you may not have much of anything in hand anyway. But I don’t think that ability is there for reasonable decisions. It’s there for people trying to have fun. And I appreciate that.

War’s Wage

What a card. I enjoy how simple this card is, and it’s a shame that it takes so many words to do it. Restricting the casting is not strictly necessary, but I appreciate it as a way to ensure that it isn’t used improperly, such as post combat or during a combat you’re not involved in. I also like how in multiplayer it only takes one creature attacking you to make it castable and it affects everything they’re attacking with, not just the ones coming at you. The Chain Reaction effect I’m a little mixed on, because it requires a lot of math and can be messed with on the stack, meaning you have to redo the math if, for example, they sacrifice one of their attacking creatures on the stack. Still, the effect is warranted, because it makes it so you can’t just use it as targeted removal. You have to be smart about it. The two parts I don’t get are the cost and the lifegain. The lifegain just feels a little weird, since it will rarely be more than three or four, and if it is then you’ve wiped their board and your life is probably saved anyway. The next part is the cost. This feels so mon-white. The red black hybrid feels like it was tacked on for style more than anything. But mono-white can wage wars, too! Dealing damage to attackers and gaining life are two things that white are not only good at, but best at. The damage doesn’t feel particularly red, and the damage+lifegain doesn’t feel that black. It’s not enough to ruin the card, though. I like this card as a whole, and I think that (besides the colors) you showed a lot of restraint in making this a simple, effective card.

~

And there you have it, our runner-ups! It was tough to pick out runners-up this week because there were a lot of cards that barely missed the top spots, but I wanted to call specific attention to cards that attempted something and either got a lot of things right but not everything or didn’t quite hit the mark. But still, everyone did a great job this week. Commentary should be up fairly soon. I’ve got it written in google docs, just need to tumblrize it.

June 24, 2019 (1): I thought that was an undershirt

(previous play)

You can find more information about the authors, translators, content  warning and additional information about the plays in the pinned post on  our blog.

Attention! This play includes transgender topics. For more details see our interjection.  

Monday, 3:23 pm:

WhatsApp, David/Carlos:

Voice message from Carlos, 3:23 pm: Hey Brudi, I just googled swimming and transgender because I wanted to know what you were talking about and it's really interesting what kind of stuff there is. Well, those swim binders you were talking about... anyways, I wanted to say sorry again in case I somehow offended you on Sunday... well, I'd find it really cool if you could come into the water with us, but I also read some experience reports and stuff and there are really a lot of trans people who don't go into the water at all, and some who don't mind at all... so because of that dysphoria or what it's called... ey, all of that's totally new for me... so, what I actually wanted to say: Everything's chill! Do whatever you want to! But I would still love it if you came into the lake with us! And the others, too, I think. And I don't think that anyone would mind or look at you weirdly if you wore such a swim binder thing.

David, 4:30 pm: Don't worry about Sunday. I just wasn't used to talking about it openly until I met you guys and sometimes it's still a little difficult for me. But I actually think it's a good thing that you guys are so interested in that topic and also that you ask questions when you want to know something. So yeah... dysphoria is quite the key word. I just have to see how I’m feeling when we're on holiday – I'm not saying that I definitely won't go into the water with you... but anyways, it's cool that you did some research.

Carlos, 4:35 pm: I've read some more... not about dysphoria, I'll do that later. But if you say that it's okay for us to ask questions then I have one for you: Those binders – there aren't only those for swimming. Do you really wear that every day?! :-O

David, 4:39 pm: Correct, there aren't only those for swimming. The swim binders are made from a different material. And yes, I wear a binder every day – at least whenever I'm amongst other people.

Carlos, 4:43 pm: Woah! I really never noticed... well I've never really thought about what it looks like under your shirt in the first place – I didn't mean to offend you with that. Not even when I first learned that you were trans. I always thought that it was an undershirt or something like that...

David, 4:45 pm: *several laughing emojis* That's somehow cute!

Carlos, 4:46 pm: I'm not cute :-P

Carlos, 4:50 pm: But aren't those things super uncomfortable!? I mean, doesn't that bother you... especially now that it's summer?

David, 5:03 pm: Let's put it like this: It would bother me more if I wouldn't wear one. Because then you could see – depending on what I wear you can see it more or not as much – that my body just isn't as male as I would like it to be. Those things aren't really comfortable but you get used to it. It's just that they press down on your chest, lungs and ribs. That's why it's recommended to not wear them more than 8 hours at a time... if I wear it for too long then at some point it gets more difficult to breathe and my back hurts...

Carlos, 5:05 pm: And it's not an alternative to simply not wear it? Well, at least when we’re amongst us... none of us would care if you can see something or not...

David, 5:09 pm: I would care.

David, 5:13 pm: It was already hard for me to take the binder off in front of Matteo. But since we're basically together all the time, at some point I couldn’t really avoid it anymore. But it took a lot of willpower and time to not feel uncomfortable without it in his presence. If you're interested in that topic than maybe you really should read some more about dysphoria.

Carlos, 5:15 pm: I will. But still, it's quite an ordeal – as if forcing someone who only wears sweatpants to wear a suit every day...

David, 5:16 pm: Like I said, you get used to it. But I'm still looking forward to after my surgery when I don't need to bind anymore.

Carlos, 5:15 pm: Woah, chest surgery?! To remove your breasts? You really want to get that done!? When?

David, 5:22 pm: The application for cost coverage for a mastectomy has been approved 4 weeks ago. Now I have appointments for consultations at hospitals. Once I make a decision at which hospital I want to have the surgery done it will still be another 3 to 6 months before I can expect an appointment.

Carlos, 5:24 pm: Ey, I only have to read application ... sounds like a similar hassle to what you had to do with your ID.

David, 5:26 pm: Yes, it's similar.

Carlos, 5:28 pm: Ey, Brudi, I keep my fingers crossed. I really will go and do some more research on dysphoria and stuff... I don't want to always put my foot in my mouth...

David, 5:32 pm: Don't worry about it – I'm slowly getting used to you guys putting your feet in your mouth and I'm actually quite glad that you're all so open about it. It does make it easier for me in the long run, even though I never would have thought that. So if you have questions feel free to ask again.

Carlos, 5:33 pm: I will, thanks, Brudi!

David, 5:34 pm: Speaking of being open: Have you talked to Kiki yet?

Carlos, 5:37 pm: Noo, not yet... we're going to meet up tomorrow. I'm a little scared...

David, 5:39 pm: You can do it! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Carlos, 5:40 pm: Thanks!

[knights-of-the-glittery-table]

Good morning, here is a free sample of being mentally ill and on your own, no cost at all.

Last Wednesday the fire alarm downstairs went off for 4/5 ear splintering rounds at 1:30am then fell silent as if nothing happened. Definitely no fire/smoke/heat issues. I put it down to a fluke.

Half an hour ago it did The Beep right above my head. You know The Beep. That sound that means ‘change my batteries’ but mine are connected to the mains so I was like ‘oh.’

I used the website I used to find the plumber and asked for a callback but like...it did the chittery beep twice again at intervals. I knew it’d be like the beating of the telltale heart going off every once in a while

So I googled it.

Turns out likelihood is, the 9 volt battery used as a backup could need replacing.

I had ONE nine volt battery by pure fluke. I have a little box filled with batteries (all new) and they are you know, the usuals, AA’s and then some of the tiny round bastards. BUT THERE WAS ONE 9 VOLT. FOR REASONS I DON’T RECALL.

So I get out the stepladder (may I bring up to you at this point I have fallen arches that mean I am very very nervous of being even up on step stools due to 0 balance ability and 1000 incidents to go against faith in my ability) and I go to twist it off.

Nope.

Get back down.

Google how to open a bloody mains fire alarm.

First one is too old. Talks about a pin to pull out. No bloody pin to pull out.

Climb back down, check anothe youtube video.

I HAVE TO PUT THE HEAD OF A FLAT SCREWDRIVER INTO A SLOT AND THEN IT JUST COMES OFF.

It did.

I’m shaking like a leaf due to hand tremors I’ve had since March due to heightened anxiety that just never left and worry I will fuck this up.

Climb down. Use teeny tiny mini screwdriver to get the screw out of the plastic, see a 9 volt battery in there. It hasn’t gone off or yelled at me yet.

It’s difficult as hell to get the battery out even though there’s a little ribbon tab, you know the type you pull on and typically the battery pops up and is easy to remove?

Fight with the thing. Finally get it out. Have to unattach it from the wires. One was easy, the other was NOT.

Fetch new battery from the stair I’d put it on. Attach it to connecting things and then realise the electrician who worked on it last PUT THE FUCKING BATTERY IN THE WRONG WAY, THAT’S WHY IT WAS SO HARD TO GET OUT. Put it back in the OTHER WAY this time and components and wires fit much easier.

Tighten the tiny screw on the battery compartment.

Stick it back up and twist so it’s back on the ceiling.

Stand utterly anxious to the strands of my DNA in case it suddenly goes off or returns to its chirps.

Nothing. Did I do it?

Literally stood under the fire alarm and said aloud to utterly no-one

DID I DO IT?!

Sit down a moment, hands are shaking like I’m sitting through a high level earthquake and casting glances of supreme concern to alarm.

....It has not chirped at me again. It hasn’t gone off and scared me to death either.

Did I do it??

I might have done it!

Markiplier Fluffy Collection Chapter 1: So Cold - Part 1

Summary: Mark is so cold after having ice cold water dumped over him for close to an hour. He was freezing, barely able to speak two words without shivering and stuttering. 

Thankfully Dark's aura dragged him to the Manor. Ethan and Tyler discover just how real Mark's egos are. There is a giant puppy pile.

Notes: I'm sorry. I just had to write this. Beta is Google from another universe, their version of Dark (called Dark Doom) who was made even worse by the thing making the Jim's act the way they do in Squirrel. 

Pissing off a reality warper who can royally fuck with your mind in more ways then you can imagine is not a good idea.

My headcannon is that Wilford is a mind reality warper (he can make you see whatever he wishes) while Author/Host are creation reality warper (he can create whatever he wants).

The Author is more powerful than Matthew in that while Matthew is the creator of the egos he can't change their story because he's not the writer. 

Only Arthur (the author) can change the details of the story. If that makes sense.

Matthew - Markiplier Mark - Actor Mark Beta - Google from another universe

Ben - Google Blue

This story takes place on December 4, 2018, when the video came out. This collection of stories takes place between the other stories in the series so the timeline will jump around a little. 

I'll out when it takes place. This particular short takes place before Just Small Changes, Really.

Date: 10/11/19 Time: 7:45 am - 9:45 am

Matthew hated Ethan and Tyler with a passion when they suggested making an apology video for all the promises he broke. He hadn't known they were going to dump freezing cold, ice water over him for 26 minutes (more like an hour and a half) if they thought his excuses weren't good enough.

By the end of it was he was shivering so badly he could barely speak, no one seemed to realise just how cold he had gotten. Ethan was alarmed when he saw black tentacle-like shadows leak from the bathroom mirror and wrapped around himself, but Mark and Tyler. Mark was the first to disappear then he and Tyler disappeared a few seconds later.

They didn't get the chance to scream as they were pulled ... somewhere, it felt like they were being squeezed through a tube, the air was thick and heavy. Ethan was confused when he found himself standing in a vaguely familiar kitchen. It looked like the one from Who Killed Markiplier but that wasn't possible.

Ethan and Tyler were shocked when they finally registered who was in the kitchen. Mark was being held by someone who looked exactly like him but maybe a little younger or older. Ben had been concerned when Matthew had appeared shivering and unable to speak without stuttering.

Matthew hadn't had any reason to be scared of them in a long time. He seemed to curl in on himself when the shivering got worse. Ben ran a scan when he saw Matthew's lips start to turn blue and was horrified when he realised how cold Matthew was. He pulled his creator into a tight hug turning up his core temperature trying to get him to warm up a little.

Matthew leaned into Ben. His face buried in Ben's neck, his face was just as freezing as the rest of his body. His shivering got worse despite Ben's efforts. He looked up when he heard someone enter the kitchen. What were Tyler and Ethan doing here? They looked shocked, they clearly hadn't known Ben and his fellow egos existed.

The entire time Matthew hadn't said a word. He was too cold and every time he tried, it came out nearly unintelligible due to him stuttering so badly. Matthew leaned more into Ben, trying to absorb as much of the android's body heat as he could. He was still painfully cold and just wanted to curl into a little ball.

He knew Tyler and Ethan had been brought with him but he didn't care at the moment. He was cold and it was their fault. They should have stopped when Matthew got too cold. If they were paying attention, which they likely weren't. They tended to get a little too involved in what they were doing.

"Care to explain why Master is so cold? He's nearly hypothermic?" Ben demanded, glaring at the two humans. They seemed to be going into shock, it was possible they hadn't known about the existence of the Iplier egos. Ethan opened his mouth but closed it again and continued to stare. Ben rubbed Matthew's arms when he started to shiver harder.

"We were just making an apology video. Every time his explanation wasn't good enough he'd get dumped with ice water. It was just harmless fun," Tyler explained quickly, not wanting to anger the android, unsure of what he would do to Mark if they did. Ben glare sent a cold chill down Ethan and Tyler's spines.

Matthew turned to look at them, his eyes were glassy. He looked out of it. Tyler wanted to laugh but knew it probably wouldn't be a good idea.

"Didn't you bother to check if he was getting too cold?" Ben demanded again, he was concerned when Matthew's condition didn't improve. Before Ethan or Tyler could say anything Dark and Wilford walked into the kitchen. They didn't seem to notice Ethan, Tyler or Matthew until Dark's inky aura reach out and wrapped around Matthew, covering him almost completely, making him melt into Ben's hold.

It was so warm and he wanted more. Wilford froze and turned to look at Matthew very much alarmed when he saw his creator cuddled against Ben who didn't look pleased. Wilford knew it had to do with the two humans. Matthew seemed to be boneless, the only things keeping him standing were Dark's aura and Ben's arms around his waist.

His glassy eyes and continuous shivering made Dark realise the human was dangerously cold. He would have to be for Dark's aura to feel warm. It normally felt cold to the touch.

Ben quickly filled Dark and Will in on what was going on before Tyler and Ethan got sent back to the human world. Ben knew they had to warm Matthew up and fast. He knew a perfect way and shared his idea with Dark and Will. They were more than willing. Ben was a little surprised when he walked into the living room to see Eric dumping and arm full of blankets onto the living room on top of a huge mattress.

Ben figured it was Howl and Arthur's doing.

"Howl said it was bad but I didn't think it was that bad. We need to get him warmed up and fast," Eric commented when Ben and Matthew walked into the living room. Ben didn't know why Eric was so panicked until he remembered Eric had spent around 6 to 8 months on the streets thanks to Derek. He knew it had been painfully cold due to the cold burn scars Eric had on his back and on his shoulders.

It didn't take long to the other egos to arrived with more blankets and clothes to fill in the gaps in the giant nest of pillows, blankets and clothes. It was big enough for all of them. Ben carefully slipped Matthew of his shirt and pants, leaving him in his underwear. Matthew's shivering got worse until Ben pulled him into the middle of the blanket nest quickly removing his shirt and pants and slipping behind Matthew.

Ben carefully stripped Matthew of his shirt and pants, just leaving him in his underwear. His shivering got worse until Ben picked him up and put him in the middle of the blanket nest, quickly removing his shirt and slipping in behind Matthew. The other egos quickly following, Eric was cuddled against Matthew's front, his head buried in Matthew's neck, Wilford was behind Eric.

The other egos quickly following. Eric was cuddled against Matthew's front, his head buried in Matthew's neck, Wilford was behind Eric and Dark was behind Ben. The other egos jitted themselves around Wilford, Eric, Matthew, Ben and Dark removing most of their clothes and finding a comfortable spot.

Beta, Gamma, Ryo and Epsilon were dragged downstairs and into the cuddle pile by Bing, they were still getting used to not being punished for giving their opinions or making a mistake and being rewarded for little things. They had never been praised so much for a very long time as Beta had been active or that's what he thought anyway.

He couldn't remember his Master being any different. he had always been cruel and demanded impossible things from Beta knowing he would never be able to do them, he had tried though. He didn't want to be punished. Beta, somehow knew that there had been a short period of time where he hadn't been punished before the conditioning.

That soon changed. He couldn't remember why though. Maybe he had done something wrong. He, however, couldn't remember a time the conditioning hadn't been there, but he knew he wasn't built with the conditioning. He had found old files on his personal encrypted server, one his Master didn't know about.  

He had found old files stored in his personal encrypted computer that he had no knowledge of ever making. Notes and other plans he had no idea if he had completed, he had even managed to find some videos that appeared to be memory back up but it was hard to tell. Matthew had been so kind and caring when he had first met Beta and his brother.

Notes and other plans he had no memory of creating or completing, he had even managed to find some videos that appeared to be memory backups but it was hard to tell. Matthew had been so kind and caring when he had finally been introduced to Beta and his brothers. Beta's Master had always told them their created them didn't care for them.

That would be on the streets, surviving on their own if he hadn't brought them together and protected them. After meeting three different versions of Matthew, he knew his Master had been lying. Matthew did care about them. They were his children for a lack of better word. he was incredibly protective and possessive of them and would do anything to ensure they were safe.

Even at the cost of his own health and sanity. They were never punished and were allowed to do whatever they wish, within reason. It was strange having so much freedom after so long of have so many restrictions. They were used to only being allowed to be in their office. Only being permitted.

They were allowed to make and experiment as much as they wanted but had to run it by their Master first. Not doing so lead to unpleasant consequences that made his internal components freeze up in fear. Beta and his brothers had noticed how close the egos were with Matthew (Wilford, Arthur and Howl in particular). The Manor seemed warmer and brighter when Matthew was around.

He had seen Matthew and Wilford curled up cuddling up on the couch. All the egos were close even if they argued. Curling up in the cuddle pile felt amazing, a strange warm feeling washed over Beta. It wasn't something he was familiar with. Yet. Eric was nervous about being this close to Matthew.

He knew he didn't have to be nervous but he was. He still wasn't used to getting open affection even though it had been close to 130 years since Derek had been ... dealt with. At least in void time. He still found it hard to wrap his head around that one month in the human world was 20 years in the void.

Matthew had been so kind and understanding had had legitimately looked like he wanted to murder Derek when he found out what his father had done to him. He found neither Wilford, Howl or Arthur could completely lie to Matthew, sure they tried but it was clear it was incredibly hard.

Eric found himself snuggling against Matthew more and relaxing. Wilford pressed more against his back, one his legs hooking over Eric's legs, his hands rubbing Eric's chest sending shivers down the younger egos spine, his hands glowing pink. He wasn't alarmed, just relaxed. Eric had noticed Wilford's aura had a calming effect on whoever he touched depending on his mood.

The slow, building pleasure was wonderful. Eric gasped a little when Matthew shifted, his leg slotting between Eric's legs, Wilford's leg hooked over the back of Matthew's leg as Matthew pulled Eric closer, everyone shifted to be closer. It was a wonderful feeling. Matthew's eyes had turned a reddish-brown colour

Eric, Beta, Wilford, Arthur and Howl gasped when Matthew's aura spread over the cuddle pile, wrapping around them and sinking into their skin. Eric pushed himself closer to Matthew as Wilford's hands slowly rubbed over his chest. It was delightful. Matthew pulled the blanket wrapped around him, Ben, Eric, Wilford and Dark tighter and flared his aura a bit listening to his egos gasp and moan at the feeling.

It had been a long time since he had gotten the chance to relax like this. He was thankful dark had sent Ethan and Tyler back to the human world. he knew they wouldn't understand the relationship he had with his egos. They were his children but somehow more. They were parts of him in away.

He only created their basic character, they did the rest of the work themselves which was why he was so disgusted with Derek. The man had chosen to beat his son, that was something Matthew would never condone. There was nothing his egos could hide from him. He knew when they were lying.

If something happened, he would find out one way or another. He knew by their reaction to his aura he had been away for far too long causing a high amount of pleasure when they come in contact with his aura. He had found Wilford, Arthur and Howl, in particular, were the most affected if he had been away for too long.

He didn't mean to be away for so long. It might only be two or three months for him but for Wilford, Howl and Arthur is the 30 years. Sometimes he was away for longer and Dark's aura would drag him to the Manor. That was always fun. He hated needly his egos were after he had been away for a long time. He knew they were like that because he wasn't around enough.

The neediness was different for each ego, but the most common symptom was that would try and touch him as much as possible. He had noticed if he had been away for a long time Wilford, Arthur and Howl were far more clingy. He knew he had been away for too long when he felt an unbearable urge to "Go Home".

If he ignored the feeling (which was incredibly hard to do) or he wasn't able to get to Manor for some reason then Dark's aura would drag him to the Manor, he was long overdue for a visit. It had been close to 7 months for which meant it had been close to 140 years for his egos, which was insane.

The one good thing about time passing much faster in the void was that he could stay in the manor for months resulting in him only being gone for a short time in the human world. Matthew sighed when he had to go to the bathroom. He didn't want to get up. He was comfortable and didn't want to get up. He felt a strange tingling and no longer felt the need to get up and knew it was Arthur's doing.

"Please don't go. Can't you stay for a little longer?" Eric pleaded, his arms tightened around Matthew, he was surprisingly strong, his eyes were clouded with the innate pleasure that came with being so close to Matthew. There was nothing sexual about it. It was the best sort of feeling and one Matthew had very much missed. He nodded and settled down.

"I won't. I'm sure Mark wouldn't mind taking my place for a little while," Matthew replied, snuggling into the blankets, pulling Eric closer and kissing the side of Eric's head, he knew his Uncle wouldn't mind pretending to be him for the next few weeks. It was something he greatly enjoyed doing and his fans never noticed... a few of them did but it was rare that they did. Mark was that good of an actor.

If a lot of people noticed he did a "Darkiplier" video as an explanation for the strange behaviour. Dark sometimes even made an appearance to make it seem more believable which he greatly enjoyed. Matthew was glad Dark enjoyed helping out with the 'take over' of his channel when really they all owned his channel and he let them make videos whenever they wanted.

Eric settled down, reassured Matthew wasn't leaving. They had panicked when he made to get up. Even though they knew realistically he wasn't leaving, their minds were convinced he was. they hated being so needy when he hadn't been around for a long time but they couldn't help it, the only way to prevent it was for him to visit more often which wasn't always possible given how busy he was.

End Notes: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please comment and tell me what you think. If not then please leave a kudos so I know you liked the story. 

After some talk with a few of my Discord friends through the comments on this story and Google Malfunctioning, I will be adding what happens when Ethan and Tyler go back to the human world.

I wrote and uploaded this on my phone because I didn't have my computer. I do now and have gone through and edited the story to make it flow better and added in a few things here and there.

Child’s Play (2019)

Well it’s Friday, so that means another classic horror franchise is getting rebooted. This time it’s Child’s Play - you know, the one about the spirit of a serial killer that gets trapped inside a talking doll and terrorizes the neighborhood? Well, serial killer spirits are SO 1991, so the 2019 version has updated it to a “smart” doll capable of operating all your wireless devices and there’s no supernatural mumbo jumbo going on here - just a disgruntled factory worker pushing back at unjust labor laws by removing all the safety protocols in ONE doll and shipping it off far away. You know, as most labor disputes get resolved. So Chucky (voice of Mark Hamill) comes to be best friends with Andy (Gabriel Bateman) and soon starts disposing of anyone he believes might be compromising their friendship. I think we all remember how upsetting it was when our Teddy Ruxpins started to do the same thing. So is this AI bringing in a new wave of “smart” horror reboots? Well...

God I hope not. It’s a mess. There’s some ok stuff in here, but wow I have a lot of questions for the director, the screenwriter, and the design team.

This is the worst character design I’ve ever seen. His eyes are both too big to be like a standard doll, but too small to be in the Bratz or anime-type range. Also, he suffers from the Jack Nicholson problem. For as brilliant as Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is, its casting is truly epically terrible. Jack Nicholson looks crazier than a shithouse rat at the very beginning of the film, making his descent into madness feel a little less like a descent and more like a very level straight line that you could use to hang a picture frame. Same thing with ol Chucky blue eyes here. He looks so uncanny valley creepy right from the get go that when he goes full murder spree it’s like “oh no he’s...doing exactly what his face indicated he would be doing this whole time who could have possibly predicted.” I’m all for the use of animatronic puppetry over CGI but...I just feel like the design here really missed the mark. 

I’m sorry, I’m just so pissed at the inciting incident for this whole thing. Why would your revenge against your shitty boss be to remove all the safety protocols from a microchip going into a device that is shipping halfway across the world from you? What’s the endgame here? Seriously. THE most plausible line of reasoning is “This doll will malfunction and cost this company I hate working for $39.95.” Well, that doesn’t impact your shitty boss. The only OTHER plausible line of reasoning is “This is going to make a murder doll that will malfunction and kill people on the other side of the globe.” That STILL doesn’t impact your shitty boss AND it means this guy is a total sociopath with a diabolical scheme on a level Chucky can’t even dream of. Why isn’t the movie actually about him???

It’s weird to see Aubrey Plaza playing a mom but I kind of love her snark being melded with maternal instinct here. Although, honestly, she does feel more like Andy’s big sister than his mom. 

As for Andy (Gabriel Bateman), he’s actually a really solid leading man in this. Even when he has to break down into hysterics over Chucky’s bad behavior, his performance never veers into whiny or shrill. He’s got a lot of charisma and plays Andy as a fundamentally sweet kid who maybe just doesn’t have many friends because he hangs out with his mom and sucked into the vortex of his phone too much. I was impressed, because he has to carry 80% of the movie by himself talking to an animatronic Annabelle.

I will say, Chucky’s horrible design aside, Mark Hamill does a phenomenal job as the voice of Chucky. Even when he’s repeating the same phrases over and over again, he injects a level of pathos and humanity into Chucky that’s really impressive. I know this isn’t a controversial opinion, but he really is maybe the best living voice actor of our time.

Full disclosure, there is some violence done to a cat that is very distressing, not once but TWICE. The cat dies :( And it’s particularly egregious because not only do you get faked out once thinking “oh this cat is gonna be ok” but THEN after the gruesome part, Chucky uses the sounds of the cat to emotionally torture Andy and the audience. That shit is fucked up.

Um, I’m not sure what lack of googling this screenwriter, Tyler Burton Smith, did but these literal children are not millenials, they are generation Z, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

The tone is wildly uneven. It’s not funny enough to be a horror comedy, and it’s not really scary, just jump scares and being creeped out by Chucky’s fucking face. Also, the film can’t decide if we’re meant to feel bad for Chucky being a victim of his programming and his shitty preteen masters showing him a bunch of campy slasher movies OR if we’re meant to be scared of him because he’s a murderous monster doing things of his own free will. 

Why are there watermelons in this man’s yard? And the line “a white guy dead in a watermelon patch - poetic” ... what fucking poetry are you reading? Listen, I have two degrees in English literature, and I don’t remember Samuel Taylor Coleridge ever writing anything about any fucking watermelons.

Another weird choice - the movie is pretty gory but not in a fun or campy way. I think sometime around 2010, movies lost the ability to do buckets of blood in a fun way? I know that sounds fucked up, but this isn’t campy or silly, it’s just kind of gross - both trying to be gleeful and also taken way too seriously. At first, when it’s only super pervy or abusive dudes that are getting whacked, it’s like, ok, there’s a comeuppance factor here, this is gross but fine. But then it starts extending to characters that have done nothing wrong and that we’ve been pushed to love and empathize with. So then it feels a lot less fine but still very gross. 

One major highlight - I will watch Brian Tyree Henry in anything. He’s just so so good at everything, and this is no exception.

Also - BTH plays a detective and Andy is literally trying to hide evidence made of human remains in the detective’s apartment. For dayyyyys. Let that sink in. Do you think that shit doesn’t smell?? And he keeps disposing of evidence and things he doesn’t want to deal with in the trash chute of his own building. Where the detective also hangs out. There are other dumpsters, my dude!

If you’re making a murderous doll movie and a guy who looks like Jack Black (Trent Redekop) perving around in a basement is the creepiest thing that happens, that’s probably not a good sign.

Speaking of Not Jack Black, everything in his death sequence makes no sense. Why would you stand on a table saw to get away from literally anything? Why would your table saw have a “smart” functionality? Take this as a warning kids, if Google starts making smart table saws, that’s when we draw the line.

There is one (1) cute dog, and Chucky is uninterested in him. He escapes the movie unscathed and appears to be a Very Good Boy.

Did I Cry? Fucking no, oh my god, not at all. 

This is just a real uneven mess. Some performances shine amidst the terrible material (BTH, Mark Hamill, Gabriel Bateman) but overall, I had a lot more fun with the playfully wicked marketing campaign (coming out the same day as Toy Story 4, the film leaned into the gag by creating a series of posters depicting some gruesome ends to our favorite Toy Story characters, with Chucky being responsible). If this had been more comedy, less uneven revenge porn, this might have had a fighting chance at being something really interesting. As in most things, though, I have to advise you stick to the original.

toffee!

no dont apologise! i didnt check until just then so np :)

mmm yeah it is a bit trippy. hehe ITS TRUE THO. yeah sadly i think ur right, and tag blocking is probably a good idea. sometimes smut written well or not in excess is okay but goddamn when its abt 01 line and thats the whole fic... *silently blocks tags*

hehe i do that all the time lol this conversation is carrying on threads from a month ago :) mmm yeah ur probably right sadly, same. HA HE DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE and now i have someone to talk to abt them, so thats good! I KNOW felix was actually the one who got me into skz with his iconique gods menu line so i guess i have a soft spot for him. i always tell myself my bias is chan but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess im more whipped than id like to admit. mmm yeah that does make sense dw i hope they do that as well. YES king seungmin hIMSELF. GODDAMNIT DONT GET ME STARTED ON MINHO IN GODS MENU I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE WAS PART OF THE GROUP UNTIL I STARTED GETTING MORE INTO THEM. BITCH (affectionate) THE LINE DISTRIBUTION HAS BEEN UTTER DOG SHIT but *deep breath* its better now so were moving on adn hoping it stays that way. sis same but i may or may not have gone thru a rlly depressed phase and actively sought out the elimination episodes so i could actually force some tears out of my emotionless shell of a heart but what cna you do? lmaoo i feel that irl, binnie deserves more vocal lines. yesss channies accent is rlly prominent then, i think also the way he structures his phrasing? is more english speaking than korean? but yeah i totally get what ur saying. AJKSAL lmao

okay then! im excited for whenever it gets done! (maybe tag me?) ahh the cold shrivelled heart of a dark au writer beats again at the thought of torturing another poor characters very soul (/j) :(( yeah that would suck not being able to see them. ohhh ur on the other hemisphere to me! were just going into spring rn. mmm smth to look forward to! YES you put it into words. they rlly are pretty independent from the company (remember how jyp rejected that other dudes songs after like 3 seconds and then how he was apparently nervous to show the song hed written to chan cos chan was so good at writing hits ahhh sweet revenge) mmmYES we rlly need a mute and remove notifications button for our brains dont we?

YES CORRECT i totally agree. some people jsut dont give it a try, adn assume its bad cos its korean smh racist assholes. yes! im coming up to my 6 month anniv actually! sis sAME, i feel like theyre being tugged into appealing to the western american market and theyre not staying as true to their artistic flair as a group, especially with only writing english songs atm. *sigh* ah well, at least theyre bringing recognition to the kpop world. AHUH dead on, theyre going to be discarded pretty soon and then where will bp be? theyll prob go solo paths which is rlly sad but what can you do when the company is run by a prideful asshole? yg is not going to last much longer in the big four if they keep this up.

hehe you get it. oooh very cool! whos ur ult? (sorry if youve said this before) mmmm yeah good decision, i feel liek thats probably a wise decision. this is my first album release as a kpop stan (not counting mixtape oh) so i think ill get it for sentiments sake. yeah! im excited for the new music! mingi was the one who got me into them, but atm my bias is seonghwa followed by san, wooyoung and ateez but jonghos high notes man *swoon* he, yeah atm ive got jake, jay, nikki, jungwon and sunoo down so just trying to get the rest :) heh, yeah kard i rlly only got into cos of bm, ive seen him like interacting with a lot of idols and he seemed nice so i decided to check out the group. ikr gunshot man *another swoon*

no noe! i didnt know what it was until i got it lol. thx toffee ill try and take that to mind :) yeah lol im on a waiting list thats not going to be free until late september so hopefully i can hold on until then. hope ur okay, that sounds like it sucks, hope you can find someone. maybe ill just take you along on my phone and the therapist can get a two for one patient deal lmaooo. mmm, sorry no i havent mentioned it before, i dont rlly talk abt it much. uhhh basically hypermobility? if you google it, it doesnt seem bad, jsut joint flexibility but ive got the severe end of the stick, leaning towards ehlers danlos syndrome so thats fun. basically it just makes it hard for me to exercise, run, jump, stand or just walk for long periods of time and gives me a lot of joint and muscle pain so... thats fun! but obviously so many other people have it worse than me, so i try not to complain. normally in young people it will improve as they get older, but my doctor said bc its severe in me, its unlikely to get much better. but again, i dont have the worst lot in the bunch, so its all g.

oh its good that its not the bad type of rain, a light sprinkling can be relaxing sometimes. aww thx darl, the concern is appreciated but it went pretty well and i managed not to cough too much on stage or kill myself trying to run around to the other side of the stage in the pouring rain so thats good! oooh tea buddies! my dogs a labradoodle, but shes a bit more of a feral poodle lol not much labrador in her at all, unless its her relentless urge to hunt down every bird that has ever walked this earth smh :((( hopefully they can come back on soon, does uni have dances?

ahhh a mood if i ever heard one. hopefully things will get better for you soon, ik anxiety sucks ass. ooh thats always good! when its sunny here, its always melt ur thongs to the pavement hot so the nicely cool sunny days are a lovely change. hehe impatience is not so good for you, but good for us that get to see ur beautiful theme early. ahh no worries, itll come eventually hopefully. and if not, then just things that make you not anxious are good. it doesnt have to be black or white, sometimes gray is good. mmmmm sames i have midterms this week to catch up on and then two weeks of end of terms so thats fun! i hope u can overcome that a little, heres some channie to be ur motivation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8LWyNjzOww. hah! i hear that all the time, he seems to be everywhere. did you see that tiktok of hans slowed back door rap, i stg it sounded EXACTLY like namjoon, it kinda scared me. also teh beginning of another day, sounds so much like joon i swear.

that reminds me! idk ur biases! i feel like this should be smth i should know so please! feel free to elaborate!

ahh im glad, i was worried it is. mmm same, so no hard feelings if either of us misses a day or smth. ill start worrying if weeks/months have gone by, but if its just a little while thats more than fine. ill just picture you studiously completing notes and i wont worry lol

<3 w.a. 🐺

at some point i really think i'm going to start blocking accounts because blocking tags won't be enough. i saw ask tags the other day and it just made me want to bleach my eyeballs.

i could talk about god's menu felix for hours man. the teaser for god's menu that featured his part on the bridge made me look forward to the mv release. you: biases chan, also you: lixiesbabyhands. yes you are more whipped than you think. i can't believe orange haired minho was given NOTHING during that era but they kind of made up for it in the b-sides. i also hope it stays that way. the distribution for this era was pretty fair.

"torturing another poor character's soul" in all honesty, i used to live for this. 2017 me leading up to early 2020 wrote nothing but angst. i have another aussie friend on twt and tbh i'm still really (O.o) about the seasons! jyp should be terrified skz could easily take over that company. heck if skz grow old and start their own company, they'd probably do a great job at running it. PLEASE. i have issues on muting/notifications both mentally and in real life. sometimes, i just wish to disappear.

some people in my country are just disgusting tbh. not only racist but homophobic too. they label kpop as 'gay' and it DISGUSTS me. it's a problematic behavior/mindset people in my country need to fucking get rid of. anyway, HELP ME 6 MONTHS??? and i've been in this shit for like a decade eye. tbh, i’m not fond of kpop groups trying to appeal to the western audience :// it feels like they’re losing their identity in a way. yes recognition but at what cost? yg has my favorite groups but that’s one shitty company when it comes to promoting.

okay my ult! it’s haechan from nct but i consider chan an ult too. like a close second above my whopping list of kpop boys. oh yes! you should get the album just for like a keepsake? remembrance? how did mingi appeal to you? omg did you start getting interested in ateez back when he was still on hiatus? NOT YOU BIASING THE SAME PEOPLE I DID WHEN I FIRST STARTED STANNING. the infamous ateez thot-line. jongho is easily one of the best fourth gen vocalists out here, no one can change my mind :( good luck with memorizing the rest of enhypen! just in time for the comeback too. i hope i’ll get into kard soon but i’m pretty content (and a tad bit overwhelmed) with the amount of groups i stan right now.

please hold on though, feel free to vent here if you like. thanks for the offer tho HAHA but like i’ll try to get checked here too when the cases die down a bit. i’m sorry to hear about your condition though :( please don’t ever overwork yourself to the point that your joints/muscles would ache. it’s completely valid to complain about it tho. i get that you have others in mind but keeping that mindset really doesn’t do you (like you internally) any better? so if you need to, vent your frustrations out and don’t keep it in.

oh my god, about your performance last sunday. was the stage out in the open? glad you didn’t cough too much and did well on your concert. i’m proud of you! i can never understand dogs and poor birds T_T uni doesn’t have dances unfortunately. i think there’s just one party at the end like a graduation ball. what year are you in anyway? if it’s something that you’re fine with sharing. if not, it’s cool.

good luck with your exams! and thanks for the link! AHA what a cutie. i think he does this motivation thing once in a while during his lives and it’s just comforting. yeah joon and han my irl just freaked when we made that discovery. ult crumbs for her. oh god not me forgetting about every biases when you asked. you can ask for my biases in a few groups just list down the one’s you’re interested in knowing. 

i missed yesterday because i was grinding and finishing what if we stay + school work. finally did it today. i’m sure i’ll reply in like a day or two, definitely not a month unless i state otherwise. if i ever decide to abandon this blog, i’ll let you know.

A follow up to the posts about the Nazi art (drawn by a Klance artist), the Pride Parade Klance sign & all those edits where Sheith scenes in canon got turned into Klance ROMANTIC scenes by people who constantly spam “I ONLY SEE THEM AS BROTHERS, BROGANES, THAT’S SUCH A PLATONIC BROGANES SCENE” everywhere.

NOTE: This is referring to the Klancedom, NOT Klance shippers. If you do NOT do any of these things, this post is NOT talking about you.

This interview has been approved of by MisterPoofOfficial (names were blacked out at her request).

Do NOT harass any of these people in the screenshots.

The events:

> Misterpoof creates a parody animatic of the Heathers song “Dead Girl Walking” & makes it a Sheith video. At this point, Poof was already known for not wanting to make any content for Klance & only making content for Sheith, Keitor, Pance & gen stuff.

> Klancers fill the comments section, whining for a Klance version. Misterpoof blacklists the word “klance” from her notifications & deletes all comments mentioning them. Poof’s fans tell the klancers to knock it off.

> A Klancer makes a yandere Klance PORN version of Poof’s animatic, directly advertising it on the comments of Poof’s animatic. (Keith & Lance semi-graphically have sex in this video).

Lord Pastel Lance: The Klance version was Keith TRYING TO RAPE AN UNWILLING LANCE (he gives in after Keith "reasons" with him) Oh god, klancers Never change Poof: Oh dear lord;;;; that’s gross I didn’t even watch the video, I was too scared it was gonna look like mine;;;” Lord Pastel Lance: NOPE It's got yandere creep faces & is genuinely disturbing with dark colors & Lance PHYSICALLY shoving Keith away from him And like, actual sex Like, they fuck

> Meanwhile, as Klancers & antis flock to the Klance version, the plagiarist upvotes & responds positively to anti-Sheith & anti-Poof comments. She claims that she admires Poof’s stuff even though it’s Sheith & she hates Sheith & doesn’t like going on Sheith vids while also saying that Sheith content on youtube should not exist at all (even joking that she will start a ship war).

Poof: And my video was dedicated to my friends--It wasn’t even supposed to be taken seriously yet people think that me assigning Lance as the "bad guy" means that I hate him Lord Pastel Lance: Seriously, who says "I was inspired by Poof" & then promotes & likes comments basically saying "I hate Poof & Poof's stuff".

> She even went so far as to react negatively & shut down an upset Sheith fan who was just asking for others to let people ship whatever they want. > She also agrees (multiple times) with fans that gay sex is sin & that they are sinners for getting off to her Klance porn video. > She also claims to be a 14 year old who openly draws BL porn on her parents’ laptop & says that she got all her knowledge from BL stuff & yaoi.

Lord Pastel Lance: Google research: literally just a click away Poof: Honestly......I mean they’re using their parent's computer after all Lord Pastel Lance: They already drew twinks fucking on their parents' computer Are they seriously that worried that their parents will see them reading about gay sex

> She also linked Poof’s video directly on her Klance video & self-promoed her klance version directly in the comments of Poof’s vid. (And mentioned how much she hated Sheith). [Reminder that the Klance version was watched predominately by Klancers/antis who were bashing Poof for not making Klance stuff. This was essentially painting a huge bulls-eye on Poof. And that the Klance artist was encouraging these types of comments in her own comment section.]

Poof: The comments I’ve gotten in the video (are removed) -- I’ve been called a "pedophile" for liking Sheith and making content for it -- another comment was talking about age discourse (also removed) I recall getting a comment (also removed) saying this wouldve been better with Klance

> Poof finally disables all comments (just on her Heathers video though).

Lord Pastel Lance: Also They're blaming YOU & your fans in the comments Poof: I KNOW I READ IT AND IT’S RIDICULOUS

Lord Pastel Lance: ??? If they wanted to apologize, why didn't they just send you a fucking ask? Poof: Exactly??? I have my tumblr and twitter on my about on youtube Lmao they could’ve looked and said sorry instead of talking shit

Poof: I found this in my Dead Keith Walking part 2 Lord Pastel Lance: Amazing Poof: Funny.....You say that Lord Pastel Lance: And yet they can't seem to send you a single comment apology Poof: Yup Lord Pastel Lance: It costs zero dollars to say "sorry for causing people to bash on you" Like damn gurl, you don’t need a tumblr to talk to misterpoof Poof: Exactly??? And they don't know how to use it ------------------------------------------- Lord Pastel Lance: By the way, Did the plagiarist ever apologize to you (directly) on tumblr/youtube? Poof: Nope! Never got a single message from them apologizing to me Lord Pastel Lance: Damn It's been like a whole week or so, right? Poof: Yeah Lord Pastel Lance: Even toddlers can use smartphones to google "how 2 do this" now Poof: Lmao true Lord Pastel Lance: Seriously, there is no way that it takes them over a week to figure out "HOW DO I SEND POOF AN ASK ON TUMBLR" Poof: I mean sure they're new to it and they don't know how to use tumblr, but seriously, it's not so hard to just go to my channel and apologize or send me a message Lord Pastel Lance: Yeah, but A WEEK In 2017 Plus they already send you comments on youtube There's nothing stopping them from sending you an apology On youtube Poof: Mhm ------------------------------------------- Poof: So apparently they "apologized", but through instagram and it was just...

:/ You know, I was expecting a message since there is an option on instagram. Not...being tagged in something where everyone can see it.......... I checked my instagram for once jfc, I don't go on it often, but they tagged me in their post to say "sorry"... Lord Pastel Lance: With like zero context Poof: Yup They just straight up said "I’m sorry" and nothing else :/ Lord Pastel Lance: Sorry for what? Plagiarizing? Shitting on you? Self-promo-ing in the comments of your own vids? Promoting comments that shit on you & your vids? That's SO vague Poof: Exactly??? I'm not replying back to the post because not only is it awkward, but it's just not right to forgive them for what they've done Lord Pastel Lance: I don't think they've fully understood their part in this either I think it's more like a "oh noes, a BNF is upset & people think it's my fault that she's mad!!! D:" sort of thing Poof: Mhm

Twas not the straw that broke the camel’s back, but a never-ending pile of sticks instead.

The entitled hypocrisy of the Klancedom is outrageous.

Claiming to loathe Sheith, but constantly looking at Sheith content & whining to the creators that the content would be “so much better if it was Klance & Broganes instead”. Taking no responsibility when people use your Sheith->Klance content to harass the original creators. Excusing anything & everything fucked up that a Klance fan does with “they didn’t know any better!” even though everybody in the discourse is talking through the INTERNET -- the information multilingual multicultural highway. Encouraging discourse & ship hate while pretending to be ignorant about it. Dismissing all the harassment shaladins receive while using the “Not All Klancers” card whenever shaladins complain about the harassment. Doing NOTHING to stop/prevent the Klantis from harassing people while you yourself bitch endlessly about how Shaladins are such hypocrites for generalizing Klance fans as hate-spamming anti-Sheith douchebags. Calling yourself an anti to “protect children & the LGBTQ+ community” while squealing happily about how gay sex is “sin” unironically.

The second you start allowing/encouraging people to trash on someone, who you CLAIMED to like, & that person’s stuff, which you REPEATEDLY mentioned that you dislike, you have chosen a side in the discourse. You are NOT being neutral.

You don’t want to get involved in discourse? Fine. THEN DON’T GET INVOLVED AT ALL.

If we are living in the plaza what furniture maker should we bring

It’s unfurnished, so you’ll need to bring a bed for sure. All the other stuff is up to you. You can bring a desk, a TV, a couch, a chair, a kitchen table, things like that.

I’m so sorry about that. They’ve been so busy, the best way to get ahold of them is probably by coming on campus. 

How do you link your class schedule on R'Web to Google Calendar? I think it was mentioned in one of the previous posts, but I couldn't figure it out.

If you log into your R’Web and go to your term schedule, there is a little icon in the top right corner that looks like a calendar. From there you email your schedule to your email, and you can drag and drop the .ics file to your google calendar. 

Hi! I was wondering what to do about clickers. I googled my chemistry professor and people say we use them a lot in class. Should I buy a clicker during 0 week before classes start, or would it be better to buy one beforehand? Also, does it matter what brand of lab coat I buy?

I would wait to buy or rent a clicker until after the first day of class. There’s also groups on Facebook where people sell used clickers for a cheaper price. And not that I know of, I know people usually order them from the bookstore or from amazon.. 

Is there any way to know if a triple in Pentland is a bunk style or loft style before move-in day? (3 other people asked the same question, but the answer is here!)

Not that I know of, I’m sorry! :(

Do you know if the lockers outside the dining halls tend to be all full often/at all? and do we need to bring an actual lock or are they unlocked with our ID card?

They’re so/so. During busy times, it might be hard to find a locker but for the most part, you can always find a free locker. The lockers come with a key so you don’t have to worry about a lock! 

When would I get my financial aid award money? Does it go directly to my tuition for the quarter? Does it come in check or would I have to enter a credit card so it can be deposited?

If you’re getting a refund, it should cover what ever is needed for tuition and then the remainder will be sent to you. If you haven’t signed up for direct deposit yet (which I highly recommend), then it’ll be mailed to you in the form of a check! 

How do I use the deferred payment plan? After I signed up, my account still says to pay 10k. I'm really confused so how much do I have to pay for tuition by September 15th?

You have to wait a couple days to hear if you got approved for the deferred payment plan. When signing up, it should have also had a breakdown of the costs and the dates. Please contact financial aid at (951) 827-3204 for any more questions regarding financial aid!

If I'm still on the waitlist for a class (only discussion, not lecture), should I still show up in case the professor calls my name while taking roll?

While most Professor’s don’t take roll in college, you should still go to class if you’re on a waitlist just in case a student doesn’t show up and you can take their spot! Speak with the professor after class and let them know you’re on the waitlist. Good luck! 

Hello, it's been a tough week for undocumented students... and I was wondering if after the DACA removal will we be able to still have financial aid? I've called the financial aid office but they don't answer or just cut the call.

Please click here to see UC President Napolitano’s statement on DACA. “The University of California will continue to stand with Dreamers and their supporters as we fight to keep the program alive,” and the same goes for UCR. Financial Aid shouldn’t be affected by this in the meantime! Please let us know if you have any other questions or just need to talk <3 

Do dorms at Aberdeen have dressers under the beds like Lothian?

Yes! Please check out our tour of Aberdeen on our Youtube channel, like, and subscribe! 

Are we allowed to bring someone who doesn't go to ucr to block party?

Block Party is exclusively for UCR students, but all of the other concerts sell tickets for people that aren’t UCR students. 

I know we get like a parking permit for move in day (residence halls) but are we supposed to pre print it or something or do we get it on the move in day itself at campus?

Your personalized assignment brochure that you received in the mail has a one time parking pass for move in. Good luck and we’re glad to have you! 

Where did you find housing in salt lake?

I’m not quite sure I get your question, sorry! :(

What are the dimensions for the bedrooms in the UCR campus apartments, specifically the ones for the Falkirk one bedroom, one bathroom apartments? Do you think a queen sized bed would fit (I don't know the size of my roommate's bed)

I don’t have the exact dimensions, but I think a queen should fit. Your half of the room might not have as much space for anything else though :/ Make sure you don’t take any of your roommates space!

When is the last day to register/change classes? I will be taking the MAE on the 15th, would it be too late then? How long until I get my results back, in order to know which math I need to be placed in?

That won’t be too late! You can adjust your class schedule up until the second week of class. The only problem is there might not be a lot of seats left! 

when do classes start?

Classes start September 28. Are you excited? I am!!!

What exactly is a R course? And what are the pros/cons of taking a R course?

R’Courses are classes taught by fellow students. Pros are that they only meet once a week, there is normally less homework, and the opportunity to be in a student led class allows for insightful conversation. A con would be that they’re only 1 unit, which could also be a con if you want to test out the waters in another field of study! 

I don't want to sound like a downer but I'm an incoming freshman I'm scared I'm really not gonna like it here. There's a huge transfer rate and I hear a lot of people say that there's not a lot of motivation and there is nothing to do without a car. I also tried reaching out to a lot of people and people are nice at first but then won't respond at all after. Being honest what is the worst part of the school in your opinion?

I came in to UCR with the idea of transferring when it was convenient for me (once I learned how to drive and got my gen eds out of the way). By the end of my first year, I was completely in love with UCR, and at the beginning of my third year, I am still just in love and still can’t drive lol. Riverside, without a doubt, is the perfect community for me for what I am studying, and the resources have been so amazing. I’ve had amazing internships, job opportunities, and classes here - I even met my fiance here! And there’s things to do within walking distance, but if not, one of your friends is sure to have a car. Give it a chance, I came into UCR as my back up school after having to decline my dream school for financial reasons, and honestly, there’s no where else I’d rather be.

Marty the grocery store robot is a glimpse into our hell-ish future

Attention shoppers: I've seen the future of grocery store technology, and let me tell you, we can do better.

I’m no Marty McFly. I simply reside in a small Connecticut town, which means that in addition to doing Extremely New England things like commuting to the city on the Metro North, bragging about beaches, and the fact that the state inspired the picturesque fictional town in Gilmore Girls, I occasionally spend some time on the weekends shopping for groceries at a local Stop & Shop.

Prior to 2019, the Stop & Shop shopping experience was similar to that offered by most any other large grocery store chain. But this year, Stop & Shop introduced giant, gray, aisle-patrolling robots at more than 200 stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey.

Now, food shopping comes with unprecedented levels of anxiety and absurdity.

Sneaking a peek while Marty is safely docked.

Image: nicole gallucci / mashable

Each of the robots weighs a massive 140-pounds and costs a whopping $35,000. Oddly, all of the robots are named Marty, and atop their tall frames — which tower over my own 5 foot, 3 inch stature — rests a large pair of google eyes. You know, so as not to come off as complete faceless, emotionless, lifeless bots. If you’re confused as to what these rolling mechanical columns do, Martys also wear the following description on their bodies like a name tag:

This store is monitored by Marty for your safety. Marty is an autonomous robot that uses image capturing technology to report spills, debris, and other potential hazards to store employees to improve your shopping experience.

Essentially, once Marty identifies a hazard using its sensors, it stops in its tracks, changes its signature operating lights from blue to yellow, and repeatedly announces, "Caution, hazard detected," in English and Spanish. One of several catches to their existence, however, is that the robots don't actually clean anything.

Marty does a whole lot of nothing

Marty is advertised as an aisle-sweeping superhero, but it's simply a messenger that shouts about a problem until a more capable human comes and removes whatever the hazard may be. Upon learning this fact, some people, like myself and the woman heard in this video shared by Twitter user @jennlynnjordan, are rightfully confused.

Apparently my supermarket has just gotten a robot. Its name is Marty. It detects spills. Doesn’t clean them, just starts shouting if it sees one. pic.twitter.com/xnRuV8LBCU

"Oh, I thought it washed the floor," the unimpressed mystery shopper can be heard saying. "Wow... I've got my husband to tell me there's a mess!” she continued, delivering a burn to both Marty and her semi-helpful hubby. As Jessica McKenzie reports for the New Food Economy , employees aren't the biggest fans of the machines either.  

“It’s really not doing much of anything besides getting in the way,” an employee told McKenzie. And in some cases, the machines even create more work.

A January press release states that the in-store robots are supposed to "enable associates to spend more time serving and interfacing with customers," but one of the robot’s major flaws that its sensors appear to treat each hazard with the same level of caution. A harmless bottle cap or errant piece of cilantro will elicit the same response as a spill of clear liquid that someone could genuinely slip and injure themselves on, which means that in certain cases an employee may have to take time that could be spent interacting with a customer to walk across the store and grab a puny little grape that escaped a bag. Seems counterproductive!

The other day, we heard the googly eyed and friendly stop& shop robot alerting (in two different languages) of a found hazard! We braved it out to find out what this hazard was: a bottle cap! #robotLifeProblems pic.twitter.com/h965nscTy7

A post shared by Robert Schaufelberger (@dekorobert) on Jul 24, 2019 at 12:50pm PDT

I've only seen Marty "go off" once in the produce section. When an employee came to the rescue she couldn't seem to find the hazard, so in attempt to quiet the robot she scanned the floor and began picking up any fragment in sight — a questionable crumb, a plastic bread tag, a shred of corn husk. To this day I have no idea what minuscule object Marty was trying to warn me about, but after causing quite the scene it eventually resumed floor duty. 

The feeling of shopping amidst a supermarket stalker

When Marty isn't getting all hot and bothered about an abandoned twist tie on the floor, you can find the robot beeping incessantly and lurking behind customers' backs.

Some shoppers — especially those with children — find the robots charming. Nancy Lesslie, who frequents a Stop & Shop in Quincy, Massachusetts, told the Boston Globe, "I talk to him [Marty] I take videos of him. I show them to my kids... he just makes me smile."

Others, however, find Marty's unfamiliar presence a bit unsettling.

Met Marty the robot in my local Stop & Shop last night. He followed me around the store. Still not sure how to feel about it. 🤔 #retail pic.twitter.com/a6C7GnNADn

@BenKissel @LPontheleft I finally met Marty today and he scared me as I turned the corner. He just roams around and makes ominous beeps constantly. Robots taking over at my local Stop and Shop in MA. pic.twitter.com/67xC3tbQYz

Bucks County, PA on some next-level sci-fi shit pic.twitter.com/QAzdVsDZAl

— Krieger (@KriegerStyle) July 15, 2019

On one shopping trip while I was browsing a shelf filled with bags of quinoa, I realized that the possibility of Marty choosing my aisle to turn down filled me with genuine anxiety. As Marty's beeps grew louder and closer I literally held my breath and prepared to speed-walk away if necessary to avoid an encounter. After seeing Marty roll past my aisle I triumphantly thought, "That's right. Keep rolling."

Remember that one debate in October 2016 when Trump was shadowing Hillary Clinton like a magnetic ghost? That's how I feel whenever Marty is around. The googly eyes soften the machine's appearance for a few seconds, but once you break off the staring contest you're reminded that you're in the presence of a rolling piece of tech that uses laser sensing and cameras. 

Marty Mc... Why?

Ultimately, these robots feel more like a burden than a benefit. They're way too large, way too beep-y, way too pricey, and they seem to create additional tedious work for employees.

You're telling me Marty has to be this huge? We're the same humans that created the Roomba, and yeah, it sometimes runs over dog poop and makes a mess, but at least it's small and capable of cleaning. 

And is it really worth investing $35,000 in a mostly useless machine when Stop & Shop has reportedly cut back on staffing and made money problems clear to employees?

The robots did have one perk, though. They actually increased human interaction and led me to interact with employees and fellow shoppers more than usual. Nothing more unifying than a couple of humans chatting over shared robot confusion. As time passes and we further acquaint ourselves with Marty's presence, though, that conversation will die down.

Met this robot in Stop and Shop today Are the eyes to make it more relatable? Distract us from the robot takeover? Comic relief?? Ironically increased human interaction in the store because everyone is talking about it pic.twitter.com/eJ6oAWQCgK

— Alexa Sterling (@AquaticSterling) January 27, 2019

While Stop & Shop's tech innovations have made headlines recently, they aren't the only stores to test out robots. Westfield malls in California introduced Pepper, a cute 4-foot-tall humanoid robot, in 2016, and even Walmart plans to bring thousands of autonomous floor scrubbers to stores next year.

In June, Stop & Shop began bringing Marty to stores in New York, and by the end of the year, 500 of the robots will be in Stop & Shop stores and Giant food stores — another supermarket chain owned by the Netherlands-based parent company, Ahold Delhaize.

Perhaps if I wasn't so paranoid of technology and didn't live through billions of email addresses getting hacked, millions of Facebook users being impacted by security breaches, rumors that Amazon Echo devices are spying on us, and more I would be more accepting of Marty. But for now, I just want to shop for groceries in peace.

Do Google & Bing censor online pharmacy search results? Pharmaceutical companies have called for censorship.

Until we lower drug prices here at home in America, online access to affordable medication internationally is clearly essential. But what if we lived in a country where people were no longer able to find safe international options online?

In an ideal world, search algorithms empower consumers to find the exact information they are looking for on these search engines. In a recent Google algorithm update (March 2019), which affected the “natural” or “organic,” non-paid search results, we wonder if there was foul play involved in which Google was caving in to Big Pharma. The Electronic Frontier Foundation identified this problem in 2016, in “How Big Pharma’s Shadow Regulation Censors the Internet.”

The results at the very top of your Google search are often ads, which are of course paid for: a different problem.

Please check out our new video on this difficult and troubling topic of censorship of online pharmacy and drug prices content.

Those patients searching on Google for information about affording medicine through online pharmacies were significantly disadvantaged by the Google March 2019 Core Update. The reason is that results for PharmacyChecker ‘s verification and pricing information are now much harder to find than they were on March 11th, 2019— a day before the update.

Since 2003, PharmacyChecker has provided online pharmacy verification and drug price comparison information to help people afford medicines. We are proud that the information we provide has helped millions of patients find more affordable prescription drugs, safely, from other countries through importation. High drug prices are a crisis in the United States, and combating that very crisis has become my life’s mission, extending way beyond “online pharmacy.” I’m also the founder of Prescription Justice, a non-profit organization advocating for policies and laws to lower drug prices in America.

With Google’s recent update, information that PharmacyChecker provided on safely importing medication from online pharmacies moved from being in the top of search results to virtually out-of-sight. Searches for “reputable overseas online pharmacies” or “online pharmacies” used to lead directly to results for PharmacyChecker, but that’s no longer the case. Instead, the first page results for a term such as “online pharmacies” are now just a barrage of overzealous warnings from the FDA (2 results), the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (2 results), Poison Control, and the DEA.

There is certainly a need for warning consumers about the dangers of rogue online pharmacies, which happens to be a big part of PharmacyChecker’s mission. But when people are looking for affordable medicine online from Canada or other countries, they are not interested in the dangers of rogue online pharmacies. They need the safest international pharmacy options. Since March 12th, Google has made it very hard for people who need good information on these topics to find it. Such consumers will too often be left scared by incomplete information and, as a result, may forgo medicine they need, even though these medicines can be safely and affordably accessed.

For many people, safe international online pharmacies have been a lifeline of affordable medicine. High drug prices are responsible for tens of millions going without medication each year in our country, and, sadly, this has been going on for decades.

What if popular search engines, such as Google and Bing, censored access to safe online pharmacy options?

Unfortunately, large pharmaceutical companies would like to see and are lobbying for such censorship. At a hearing before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, on February 27th, 2014, a representative of Eli Lilly, a multinational pharmaceutical company, recommended removing all online pharmacies, if they sell medicines from pharmacies outside the U.S., from Google’s search engine in the U.S.:

“The online pharmacy would still be available on the Internet, no doubt hosted in another country, but it would not be found by the patient in the U.S. who is doing an Internet search for his or her medication.”

PharmacyChecker is viewed by the pharmaceutical industry as a threat to its censorship goals, and I have testified before Congress on this issue. PharmacyChecker doesn’t sell medicines or process prescription orders in any way, domestic or international, but we do have the best information on finding safe international online pharmacies and their prices. That makes us a target of the drug companies.

PhRMA Targeted PharmacyChecker with Ads on Google in 2017

For example, the lobbying group best known for representing the interests of multinational drug companies, the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America – (PhRMA) or Big Pharma – was placing ads on Google using our company name: “PharmacyChecker.”

When searching for “pharmacychecker,” the first organic result shows: “PharmacyChecker: Save up to 90% by comparing online prescription drug prices at PharmacyChecker. We check safety credentials…”

But above us, a Google user would see PhRMA’s ad: “Protect Patients & The Public – Oppose Drug Importation.”

I believe they have since removed those ads.

That’s just a taste of PhRMA’s reach. The pharmaceutical industry is behind the leadership and funding of many “patient-centered” organizations, sometimes with government cooperation, all to make people believe it’s inherently dangerous to buy lower cost medicine online from another country. Such organizations include (but are not limited to) Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies, Partnership for Safe Medicines, Center for Safe Internet Pharmacies, and the internet programs of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Even the National Consumers League has received a lot of money from Pharma, and its messaging about online pharmacies mirrors that of the industry.

Online Pharmacy & Safe Drug Importation Censorship

Drug companies are not only spending lots of money pushing ads and programs deterring people away from safe importation of more affordable medicines – but also putting pressure on the two major search engines: Google and Bing.

Censorship on Bing

The content censorship that has resulted has actually endangered – not protected – people from counterfeit drugs sold online. Bing’s organic search results include pop-up warnings next to certain targeted online pharmacies that, according to independent research, increase the chance that consumers will buy counterfeit drugs online.

Bing relies on information from a pharma-funded program, one operated by the NABP, that identifies “Not Recommended Sites.” There are about 13,000 such sites on that list. Most are actually really dangerous rogue pharmacy sites. But the NABP purposely marks any international online pharmacy that sells into the U.S. as “not recommended,” including ones verified by PharmacyChecker.

The problem is that searches on Bing lead to results for safe international online pharmacies that consumers skim past because of the pop-up warnings. That leads them to dangerous, counterfeit drug-selling sites that do not bear the warning because they have not been added to NABP’s list yet.

Censorship on Google

After Google’s latest algorithm update, simply titled Google March 2019 Core Update, typing a search phrase like “find a safe Canadian pharmacy,” leads American consumers to a program (dot pharmacy—or “.pharmacy”) of the NABP, one funded by at a least five drug companies (Eli Lilly, Merck, Pfizer, Janssen and Gilead). The other top results, for the most part, are organizations and initiatives funded by drug companies or allied with them.

Leading people who are searching for more affordable medicine from Canada or other countries to the website above is not responsive to their search queries.

Google has not delisted safe international online pharmacies, like drug companies wish it would. If it did, it would be completely caving in to the drug companies and another sign that Google’s search engine cannot be trusted.

On the other hand, we believe that Google has targeted specific search queries in a manner that makes it more difficult for patients to compare prices among safe international online pharmacies, as described above. That fundamentally hurts people who need affordable medicine. For the record, Google admits that it targets search queries when, according to a Google spokesperson, users are “confused.” They do this kind of stuff (to speak plainly).

Google’s stated mission is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Apparently not for Americans seeking lower-cost medicine. We don’t know for sure if Google intentionally fudged the results of its search engine in this last update. More to the point: we can’t prove it, at least not yet. But we do know that on many searches involving buying affordable medicine online from other countries, Big Pharma is celebrating.

Dear Kefir,

Thank you for coming up with one of the most incredible concept of games I have ever played. I don’t think I would have ever started a YouTube channel if it weren’t for Last Day on Earth and I definitely wouldn’t have been as successful as a I have been without it. I think when you finish developing the concept, it will be one of the best mobile game concepts the world has ever seen; however, I believe your current method of monetization is not in keeping with the excellence of your game. Furthermore, I believe a better monetization system will not only increase your income through more growth and the retention of your players, but will also increase the income to download ratio of the growth you are already experiencing.

Even though your games have an extremely high ratio of hours played per download, your income per download is considerably lower than average when compared to other games of a similar intensity. After looking at the evidence, I think it is clear that the reason for this is because your monetization system is based on the objectives of the game itself. Since gathering resources is part of the game, then buying them means you are paying to play the game less which doesn’t communicate the best message. This is not only a huge deterrent to hardcore players because it is pay to win, but it creates a conflict of interest that makes it harder for your developers to focus solely on making a great game. (balance grind, etc)

I am not a professional in this arena, but after doing a lot of research on the subject, the evidence seems overwhelming that if you guys were to create a ZeroP2W Monetization system for your games, they would make more money, grow faster and retain players longer.

There are, of course, many ways to do this and if you would like to come up with your own approach, I recommend checking out the video I’m making for developers called the 4 types of ZeroP2W.

To give you a picture of how to make this work, I have come up with one possible approach for you guys that I would recommend using on one of your other projects first to see the results before implementing it in Last Day on Earth.

Step One: Get rid of everything that is P2W. In order to get the increased profits I am talking about, you need to first offer a truly free game. This is because when people think they are getting something really good for free, it creates a fierce loyalty for your game. This type of loyalty should never be underestimated. Look at the most recent games that have exploded. League of Legends had one of the best F2P models of the their time that made them grow fast and Fortnite had an even better one forcing all similar games to do likewise.

So in order to do this with Last Day on Earth, you need to eliminate the option to buy any type of resource with real money and you need to decrease the grind so that people can actually achieve their goals! I know this seems like a bad idea, but remember that this model won’t work unless you first make the game ZeroP2W.

Step 2: Help the ones that are bad at the game - Your game type requires a player to be smart. Some people just aren’t going to be able to catch on like others and you need to create some kind of system for them to enjoy it. So I recommend keeping the shop system that you have already set up and making all of the resources in the shop purchasable by coins. Then eliminate the option for people to buy coins with real money. Then give everyone 50 coins for free each day. In addition to this, add the ability for someone to watch an ad every 3 hours to get another 25 coins. Make sure the ad reset time happens at the same time for everyone so that when multiplayer comes out, taking a break every 3 hours to watch an ad will become part of the culture of the game. This will make watching ads a huge part of the game which will increase your current ad revenue. Also, players will then develop all kinds of strategies on how to best use the 250 coins they can get each day. This will not only help players that are bad, but it will further increase people’s loyalty to the game because now even the shop is an in game economy and is completely free to play. Make sure to advertise that no one can ever buy coins so that new players realize that the game is truly free to play.

Step 3: Create options for the business person- Business people have money to spend and they don't want to grind, but they can sometimes be wary to spend money especially if the pay options are endless. Limiting how much a business person can spend will actually make them much more likely to spend money. Also, business people are often former gamers that don't have time anymore so they are more interested in evening the odds than they are in getting an advantage. Targeting this desire will get you more sales. So I recommend creating a tab labeled something like “For the busy person” and include these packages:

1. First, lock the auto button. Give everyone a free 2 week trial to start, but after the first 2 weeks, make it cost $1 per week of use. The auto button is all about convenience because it does not give you a functional advantage when playing the game and convenience is generally accepted as something you can charge for. New players will not be surprised at all that you are charging for this option.

That being said, experienced last day on Earth players are going to hate this because people hate getting charged for something that they used to get for free. So I would again recommend first trying this on another one of your projects, but I would also add ways to earn the auto button. For example, during those first two weeks, allow players to rate the game to either extend the time with the auto button for a month or get 50% off on their first month of premium which I will be talking about soon. Then create a referral system where each time a player invites a friend that gets to level 30, they get another free month of auto or another discount on premium. Also, you can make some of your giveaways around the auto button since it will no longer be fair to give resources.

2. Second, charge $1 to allow a business person to skip watching commercials for a day. In reality, they are just buying 200 coins, but you are limiting it to the amount of coins that others are getting for free if they login every 3 hours to watch the commercial. Remember to keep the prices in this business section inexpensive because you are targeting business people.

3. Then create a premium member subscription for $9.99 a month which includes the auto button for that month, skipping all commercials for that month AND an auto collect feature which I will describe soon. Don't overly advertise this as a good deal. You can mention that it is a $34 value, but a business person will spot the good deal on their own. Rather, you want to advertise that it helps equalize the playing field for the busy person. I imagine you might want to make this $19.99 a month, but I am pretty sure you will make more money if you make it $9.99 a month because as I look at the statistics, I believe you will get more than double the subscriptions at the lower price. Most business people get scared off by more than a $10 a month commitment. Subscriptions won't give you a burst, but it will create a consistent income which will really help you over time. And if google play doesn’t let you set up a subscription system, they I would let people buy multiple months of premium at a time so that they don’t have to remember each month.

4. The auto collect feature should only be bundled into the premium because of it's nature. It has 2 parts and you can add more later if you want. The first one is to make it to where they automatically get their daily rewards added into their inbox so if they can't log on that day to get their beans, waters and 250 coins, they still get the reward. The second part is a business compensation where if you are too busy that day to play, like for example, if you aren’t even able to leave your home area during that 24 hour period, you get an auto farm bonus (ie. 200 wood, 200 stone, 50 fiber, 20 carrot seeds). This might make them play less when they are busy, but when they do get back to the game, they will have 100s of resources which will make them feel like they aren't falling too far behind (even though those resources are almost nothing), but this won’t bother F2P players because they could get those resources in less than an hour.

5. Lastly, you can move your experience doubler options to this section and keep it exactly the way you currently have it. Even though experience doublers give players a functional advantage, they are generally accepted as not being pay to win if the game has an obtainable cap to your level. So if you ever made leveling up too difficult for a free-to-play player, then experience doublers would be considered pay to win.

So that concludes the business section and I think that you will find that this section will make you a lot more money than you might imagine. Even though they are small purchases, these purchases are recurring purchases and they are heavily targeted to a demographic that has money so you will likely get a high percentage of them taking you up on this. That being said, the evidence shows that this section will not be your biggest money maker.

Step 4: Cash in on the Loyalty you have created around your game with skins (this is how Fortnite makes ALL of their money) - Your current character customization system is great. Now that that is established, add new options that cost money:

1. Crazy hair styles, tattoos, etc. ($1-10 each)

2. Your motorcycle skin system is also great, make more skins that cost money like you did with the chinese event. ($5-10) You should experience a lot more people buying those motorcycle skins, because you have eliminated the option for them to buy resources. I have so many theories on why this is, but the real factor that should convince you is the statistics around those other free to play games.

3. When the time comes, make a bunch of skins for the ATV, but then make the coolest ones cost money $10-20

4. Then make skin themes for a players base which changes the looks of their walls and furniture. I have no doubt you could charge a huge amount of money for a really epic looking base theme ($20-50)

5. Lastly, you could offer skins for armor and weapons. So for example, instead of having chinese armor that we can buy, allow us to buy the permanent option to make all of our reinforced tier 2 armor look like chinese armor. ($5-20).

Most of the biggest games in the world right now are making all of their money through skins. I personally don't understand it, but the model has proven itself over and over again. From my understanding of how skin sales work, you don't want to do all of these at once, but rather slowly introduce 2 or 3 new skins with each update to keep a steady income stream.

So to recap:

Step 1 - Make your game ZeroP2W to create fierce loyalty and a pure game

Step 2 - Help struggling players by giving resources which will create a substantial ad revenue system and deepen that loyalty.

Step 3 - Target business people with small recurring transactions that help them keep up

Step 4 - Cash in on the fierce loyalty you have created using skins.

So that is one possible way to make your game type ZeroP2W and I think it will make you guys a lot more money, but if there is something about it that you don't like, be sure to check out my video on the four types of ZeroP2W. Also, I strongly recommend trying this out on a new project or new server first so that you can experience the best results. People have already been able to buy a lot of resources in Last Day on Earth so I'm not sure how people would feel about you switching to this model at this point in the game.

Thank you again for making such an amazing game concept and thank you for your  consideration of this monetization system.

Sincerely,    Fuerza

How to Get High-Quality B2B Leads with Facebook Ads

Allen Finn already wrote the definitive piece for WordStream on why Facebook ads can be great for B2B.

But at the time I write this, only 39% of marketers say they’ve even tried using Facebook ads to create conversations with B2B prospects, according to Zoominfo.

If Finn’s piece wasn’t enough to convince you, I’m going to share my own experience about why I think it’s insane that Facebook is so underrated for B2B, and I’ll tell you three ways to generate high-quality B2B leads.

The Case for B2B Facebook Ads

According to Marketing Charts‘ summary of a Hubspot report, the average cost-per-B2B-lead for agencies in 2017, from all channels, was $172.72.

By contrast, when we run Facebook campaigns for our agency clients, it’s not unusual to see it as low as $50. In fact, here’s a screenshot from a real campaign we’re running for an agency client.

(And, as I’ll explain below, we’re excluding a lot of the cheaper leads because we focus on quality.)

What’s more, the average cost per click on LinkedIn, the most popular social channel for B2B (the source of over 80% of B2B leads) was $6.50 in 2017. On Facebook, those same clicks are available for $1-$2.

So it’s clear there’s a gap between Facebook’s utility as a source of bargain B2B leads and how business owners and marketers perceive the platform.

Facebook’s reputation as a recreational network – in contrast to LinkedIn’s as a place where “serious business people” congregate – is doubtless responsible for some of the misunderstanding.

But I’ve also spoken to plenty of small businesses who have tried Facebook, and many believe it simply doesn’t work.

“We can drive clicks all day,” they’ll tell me, “but we never close any of them. They’ll almost all unqualified.”

One business owner I spoke to had gotten more than 50 leads in the last month, and only one was qualified.

Again, that contrasts with the results we’ve seen firsthand. For instance, here are some stats for a client campaign from the last ten days: 18 leads* for a total of $691.73 in ad spend. After an audit, we determined that seven of them appeared “qualified” (full-time entrepreneurs, legitimate websites).

That’s just under $100 per qualified lead.

All of which begs the question: if many business owners and marketers are only generating unqualified leads, what are the successful marketers doing differently?

In the remainder of this article, my goal is to share with you the things we know for sure moved the needle to improve the quality of B2B leads – as opposed to untested theories, or things that might have had an effect but we can’t isolate it – so that you can apply them in your B2B lead generation strategies and skip past the part where most businesses get stuck.

*The reason we get fewer leads overall – although many more qualified leads than some campaigns – is that we introduce friction in the funnel, by requiring people to certify they are full-time business owners, and/or meet a certain income level, before they can book-a-call.

Use Proof

Think about the last time you made a big procurement decision for your business.

Did you look at lots of options, compare a number of features, seek the opinions of others, and approach the decision deliberately and carefully?

Or did you immediately hire the first sponsored result that came up after a 15-second Google search?

If you said option two, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

In all seriousness, your clients likely arrive at decisions the same way. If you cater to million-dollar businesses with marketing departments, they don’t take lightly the decision to hire an agency. The most qualified prospects are efficient and forthcoming, and they respect your time.

But, I’m sure you’ll agree, most don’t make knee-jerk decisions

That’s why using proof in your Facebook ads is one of the best ways to ensure that qualified prospects will fill out your contact forms and call you on the phone.

To illustrate the magic of proof, we ran the following split test:

We were already using proof in one client’s ad:

But we decided to pull out all the stops. We removed all the numerical proof from both the ad and the landing page of one ad, and we doubled down on another, punching up the headline with even more proof:

Here’s the sub-headline of the landing page from the “Uber-Proof” version:

And here’s the landing page with the sub-headline removed:

Then we let the test run for two weeks to collect data.

The results?

Caveats first: a split test expert will tell you this is by no means statistically significant. You’d need thousands of conversions.

But it’s strongly suggestive that the data underpins what makes sense to us intuitively when we put ourselves in the shoes of a business owner considering hiring the business running the ad: proof works.

Let the Algorithm Work

Most of the articles I’ve read on B2B lead generation on the Facebook ads platform mention the multiple ways you can slice-and-dice your audience.

And many mention defining a client avatar really specifically…

Are they a CEO or a CMO?

Are they male or female?

Do they like apple pie or cherry pie?

Okay, maybe not the last one. But most articles do go on to suggest making a fine-grained uber-audience, with tons of cross-referenced targeting parameters.

There’s just one problem: we’ve tested these “smart” audiences against “dumb” audiences, and they’ve got a pretty poor track record.

Here’s how a “dumb” audience, with just three interests and little else, performed in a recent campaign:

Here’s how a “smart” one, with seven total parameters – two demographic and five interests – performed in the same campaign (fewer impressions because we shut it down once it got blown away):

Zilch.

Of course, we’re cherry-picking here (even though there are dozens of other examples I could include if I weren’t conscientious of taking your time).

But it only takes one counterexample to disprove a theory – that complex audiences and “pre-defined” avatars always perform better – and we’ve got countless such examples.

In fact, we’re hard-pressed to find a “smart” audience that does outperform a dumb one.

I’ve got two hypotheses for why this is: one theoretical and one grounded in Facebook ads theory.

First, if you’re a fellow fan of Nassim Taleb’s books The Black Swan and Antifragile, you’re familiar with his theories on “teaching birds to fly.”

Simply put, human beings have a pretty garbage track record of predicting the future (see the ‘08 financial crash) or determining in advance what people will buy and what they won’t (see practically any business case study).

A “smart” audience in Facebook does just that: tries to predict in advance the exact characteristics of buyers, subscribers, clickers, or leads.

The more effective way to tell?

Trial and error.

That’s why, for every campaign, we put up to 100 potential interests in a spreadsheet and test at least five of them in parallel at all times.

We let the results tell us which targeting parameters work best.

My second theory is really just a Facebook fact: as long as you’re tracking the right conversion parameter, the algorithm will figure out who to show the ad to in order to get the lowest conversion costs. (It’s worth shouting out another important point of Allen Finn’s article: make sure you know how to use the tracking pixel!)

When it comes to how much audience you give Facebook to “play with,” there’s a balance. Make your audience too broad, and you’ll run out of budget showing your ad to everybody in the universe before you get any conversions. But narrow your audience too much, and you’re limiting the algorithm’s ability to find potentially qualified prospects.

And a lot of the “smart audiences” do just that: exclude people Facebook could potentially identify as good prospects.

Get SUPER Specific with Your Copy

There’s a marketing saying that goes “Google is where people go to make a decision; Facebook is where they go to avoid making a decision.”

And yet, as I’ve shown, some of the cheapest qualified B2B leads are not on Google ads but rather on Facebook.

So what gives?

Well, there’s less competition, for one, as long as most business owners continue to believe Facebook “doesn’t work” for B2B.

And it’s also harder to create bidding wars of the type you see on Google ads, because Facebook’s platform is audience-based rather than keyword-search-based.

But the above axiom does get one thing right: You don’t have the luxury of just being the-thing-somebody’s-searching-for:

That’s an advantage if you don’t want to be commoditized and comparison-shopped, like the mowers above.

But it requires getting your prospect’s attention while she’s on Facebook to do something other than search for solutions to her business problems…

…and that requires specific copy.

First, a self-evident example:

Say you’re fed up with your inventory software.

You wish it pushed real-time updates to all the handsets. That way your employees wouldn’t have to waste time logging on to one of the core computers to check their inventory.

Now, say there was a software company who made just that.

Do you think you might click on an ad that said “Finally – an inventory software that pushes updates in real-time,” with a headline that said, “Stop Wasting Time Logging on and Get Back to Business”?

I sure would, in this obviously completely hypothetical example.

What if instead it said, “Acme Inventory Software, for all your inventory needs”?

You might, if you were bored. Or desperate.

But hopefully you see my point. Specificity matters when you’re getting people’s attention while they’re looking at baby pictures on Facebook.

Want to Try Facebook Ads for Your Business, But Scared of Unqualified Leads?

When businesses see crappy results from Facebook ads, it usually takes on of the following forms:

Part-timers/”wantrapreneurs”

People who want something-for-free

Time wasters

But, as we’ve shown, qualified prospects are out there, and they will respond to your company. You need to:

Show them proof you really do what you say you do

Define your campaign goals carefully, and find the right balance with targeting

Get ultra-specific with your copy

Unqualified leads will waste your time. Apply these tactics to your Facebook ads account, and I guarantee you’ll not only have fewer of those but also attract more of those high-quality B2B leads you’re looking for.

Dr. Pimple Popper on the one thing even she finds disgusting

Dermatologist Sandra Lee — better known as Dr. Pimple Popper — is not your typical Instagram star. Instead of beauty tutorials or fashion hauls, Dr. Lee is known for her oozing, explosive, forever satisfying pimple popping videos. 

SEE ALSO: Navel stones to ingrown toenails: Can you handle YouTube's grossest videos?

She has a TLC show, a skincare line, and now she's released "Pimple Pete," an Operation-like tabletop game where players gently pull stubborn zits out of poor acne-prone Pete. If you pull too hard, Pete's pimple-ridden face will squirt you. 

Guys... he’s here!!! Pimple Pete is here IN REAL LIFE! Finally, a pimple popping GAME for you to play at home with your little popaholics (or older ones too 😜) See how many pimples you can pop without getting SQUIRTED! 😷😷😷 I’m so excited for this and I know you are gonna have a lot of fun with your own Pete!!! Available now!

A post shared by Sandra Lee, MD, FAAD, FAACS (@drpimplepopper) on Aug 9, 2018 at 1:38pm PDT

We caught up with Dr. Lee at her headquarters in Los Angeles to talk about Pimple Pete, her go-to skincare products, and the (very few) things that actually gross her out. 

The following conversation has been edited for length and clarity. 

Mashable: Is there anything too disgusting or gory that you won't put on Instagram?

I don't put things on that are life threatening, like cancer, because I don't think that that's nice for me to do. Even though they're anonymous, I want to respect them, and they've obviously agreed to do this so I'm not gonna just exploit them. I've definitely posted scrotal calcinosis, where you have cysts on the scrotum. This guy was like 24, never had a girlfriend, his parents don't even know ... I think it's important to show people that this is something that you can have and you're normal. He didn't know anyone else who had ever had it. He didn't know what this was. It was a big deal for him to see me in the first place.

But I have had women who've had big blackheads on their private area, and I don't usually take photos just because it's a private area. I can find a good blackhead somewhere else. I don't need to show that area of somebody.

I don't want to say most disgusting, because it seems insensitive ...

Most shocking.

Yeah, what is your most shocking case?

The ones that are most shocking to me are the ones that get you. They squirt. We have protective gear, but sometimes you might even forget your protective gear and not expect that something's gonna get you. 

If you get cyst on your hair, it's sort of like a campfire when you smell it. You gotta take a shower. You get it on your arm, you feel like it's acid on you. When you have an infected cyst or inflamed cyst (it's called an abscess at that point) that can be messy. Those are probably the most gruesome. 

The most amazing ones, on the other hand, are actually called a dilated pore of wiener — the giant blackheads. Because they just shell out whole. They're very clean. There's no blood. They're not very gory. It's just amazing that they're like a kitchen sink plug stuck in somebody and you just pull it out and that's it! They're done!

Do you ever have to suppress a gag reflex? How do you do that while still staying sensitive to your patients? 

I have to be careful with that, and I definitely don't really do that when I'm doing cysts or something. If something's infected, it can smell bad, but I think I've conditioned myself not to do that because I'm so aware — and my staff knows this too, they know to never go ahhh oh my god. We never say anything. We try not to get excited because these people are coming in a very vulnerable state. You don't want them to feel embarrassed about it. 

I definitely have to suppress a little gag when I have to deal with somebody's toes or toenail fungus. My husband is a dermatologist, and he removes toenails — I can't do that, that's too disgusting. It's like, barbaric, it's like, ugh. 

It's so interesting that you're not disgusted by, like, cysts, but you are by other gross things. 

Yeah, I'm also very scared of scary movies. I can't watch anyone else's popping videos. Don't send them to me. I will not watch them. I cannot even look at them. Never, never send me like, a horse abscess or something. That is disgusting to me. 

Is it just any popping video that grosses you out or specifically non-human ones?

Non-human bothers me ... They can't tell you they're in pain. How do I know someone's not numb? I know my patients are numb, and comfortable, and [they're in] a sterile clean area. Versus somebody who's at their pool, and somebody's mashing at their back with toilet paper, and this other girl's drinking right next to them ... I just can't stand that stuff. 

Speaking of that DIY stuff, what do you think of how easy it is to share DIY skincare tips, like putting baking soda and Elmer's glue on your face to get rid of blackheads? 

I have a lot of problems with that, and I also have problems with people misrepresenting themselves too. I think there's a lot of danger — obviously, we get patients that Google something and think they're gonna die. If I Google warts, there's like hundreds of options, and I'm sure most of them don't work. The internet is like the wild west, that's part of why I make my videos. I think we educate people while we entertain them. And that's why I created this skincare line — SLMD Skincare is a line that has medical treatment options for people that can't see a dermatologist. I have the responsibility to give them the right information.

So acne is deeply personal and obviously a source of insecurity for a lot of people. Can you tell me about the emotional recovery process with your patients? 

I say often that acne doesn't threaten your life, but it can absolutely threaten your emotional wellbeing. The issue with acne is that it happens to most of us during this really formative time in our life. This time when we're just trying to figure out who we are. If you have acne it really puts a damper on that, figuring out your personality and how to interact with others. 

That's why it's important to treat it, more so for the emotional side of it. There's so many patients that come in that have hardly any acne at all, but their mom or dad dragged them in because they had bad acne. They don't want their kid to go through the same thing, it left such an impact in their life. 

Do you ever see a noticeable change in your patients before and after recovery? 

Yes, absolutely! You see them in the beginning, they don't look at you in the eye. They don't smile. I mean I've seen people with just the worst acne — it looks like they put ground hamburger meat on their face. It can be that bad. And if you can change that, they're forever grateful. 

You see them come out of their shell. You see them smile. You see them look at you in the face. You hear that they're going out with their friends. A lot of us I'm sure have had one single monstrous zit and we don't go out with your friends. So imagine you had it all over your face, and you had to go to school. That is a terrible thing to have to go through, and it really affects your life. 

There's a pretty big trend of treating skincare as a form of self-care, almost as if it's meditative. What do you think of that?

I think that's wonderful! Especially if it's not overdone. You don't want to be meditating for like two hours in the bathroom. Because anything can become an obsession! I think so much of skin conditions has to do with control. A lot of times, we have a skin condition, and it's not under control. There's no cure. Or you have acne, and you've tried everything, and you can't get past it. So if allowing you to do a simple pattern all the time gives you control, and you see results with it, then of course that's a great thing to do. 

Some people go "I'm using this thing that costs $300," and I don't think it has anything in it that is doing anything for them. But they say they love it, and it's changing their skin, so I'm like, "go for it." So much has to do with your mind and whether you feel like you can do to change your skin. If you need that, and you feel like it's doing something for you, I'm not gonna tell you that's bullshit. 

What's more satisfying to you? The SQUEEZE or The SAC? We say sac when it comes to Skittle Steatocystoma👏🏼 #drpimplepopper #linkinbio! #skittle #steatocystoma #session6

What is your personal, holy grail thing to use? 

Sunscreen and Retin-A. Absolutely. Retin-A has been around for years, and we know it helps with anti-aging. Sunscreen is really important, and I think a lot of people know that, but I still don't think people are using it properly. FDA control is very strict about the rules of sunscreen itself so you have to be broad spectrum protection. But makeup does not have to abide by those rules, so foundation or makeup that has sunscreen is not necessarily the same level of sunscreen protection. That is something people don't realize. 

And if you're getting a tan at all, it means you don't have enough sunscreen. Obviously it makes us look good. I like myself better with a tan. But it means you've done damage. It's still skin scrambling to protect itself from the sun. 

Can you tell me why you've created this toy?

Because people need to have the same feeling that I have when I work! People want to live through me! They see the satisfaction from my videos, being popaholics. This gives people an opportunity to be like me, but play a game. Also I feel like it shows the seriousness of what I do, the fact that I'm not reckless, you have to do it right. Because if not, you get splashed.

I was the first in my lane and some guy in a brand new mustang smashes into the back of my car ( 2003 Lexus ES 300 if that helps any ). The airbags didnt deploy but I did hit my head and my neck kind of hurts. My mom was the passenger and told me to deal with it because she just got out of the hospital. The first thing I noticed was he was exiting the maps app on his phone when he got out of the car. Maybe he was on his phone when he hit me? Anyways, the other driver and I exchanged insurance cards and licenses and I noticed he was from Maryland and we are in California. The car was a rental and he didnt mind if I reported it. Now, here are my questions. Why didnt the airbags go off if I was hit?

I live in California and I understand that by law here you have to have car insurance; at least minimum coverage that is.

The reason why I ask this is because I have a 1971 Chevy Camaro SS which I bought from my father about a year ago (He basically gave it to me, but I didn't want to look spoiled in front of my sister so I gave him $2,000 for it). I did have it insured for the first year thinking it probably wouldn't cost me much, but now I really regret getting it insured since it costed me nearly a fortune this year alone. And the thing that really sucks is that I've never even driven it yet since it still needs a lot of tuning up (and unfortunately I don't have enough time to fix it up since I'm usually a very busy person). Do you think it's possible to uninsure my camaro since it's not even drivable yet? I mean it's not like I'm going to hit a car or something with it since it's just sitting in my garage the whole time. I would ask my insurance agent about this, but I never really trusted them.
