[squigglyoctosquigglez]

assinging each cpds member a milgram song (except Undercover. no one is Es here. except maybe Lucy. yeah Lucy is Es now she gives the verdicts for each of their murders-)

for those who don't know, milgram is a fictional music project that involves a prison that hold 10 prisoners, each had been the sole cause of someones death (not just murder) and the only real clues to their "sin" is through songs !! there's also es they're the prison warden

i got this idea at like 10 pm today in my timezone, i say random ass shit here too please dont judge im tired

chris - Throw Down (uhh reading the lyrics chris is the kind to like really care but hes just done with everyone), Triage (he does not want to be deemed INNOCENT [he's still getting voted innocent])

dennis - After Pain ("“I’m sorry” won’t reach anyone (I hope it will someday) " dennis seems like the kind of kid to be bullied in school), Magic (dennis is at heart, childish. and also probably had shit parents. nothing wrong with the first one, everything wrong with the second one), The Purge March (eh hes probably not in a cult but like still he follows orders a bit too much to order idk how to explain it he remembers everything exactly except his own lines so like)

robert - half (kazui literally starts preforming an opera in the mv for this, anyways uhhh denise), It's Not My Fault (its literally in the name), Cat ("Love (plus) Destiny = Crap, smash it, shatter it, bye-bye / That sticky-sweet sequence: Dinner + Camouflage + You-Know-What / Loving Affection (minus) Love, it’s tacky, this two-way deceit / Victim and Perpetrator, let’s keep it simple" continuing half "Phew, oh wow I’m drunk, Hey, so what if I said I liked-liked you, what would you do?" this song is so painfully robert its insane idk why also kazui (prisoner singing the song) eats a fucking dove in the mv btw do with that info what you want idk)

sandra - MeMe (i have no actual reason for this just take my word for this one), It's Not My Fault (datte datte warekurai mon-), I Love You / Daisuki (see max's description) (im sorry there's still like 1 trial left, idk there's only like 20 songs)

max - This is how to be in love with you (title speaks for itself, max is a very loving person! sometimes too loving… like mahiru (prisoner singing the song) i think they would get along actually), I Love You / Daisuki (this song goes too hard to have that title, anyways Mon-mon-monstrously in love in love / Mon-mon-monstrous, cuz I love you so much / Mon-mon-monstrously in love in love / A monstrous dilemma!!!) (someone protect him)

johnathan - Weakness (idfk "ahHaHA, Please notice me. ahHaHA, Someone please notice me."), All-Knowing And All-Agony (probaby was neglected as a child or something idk now he indirectly relys on robert please dont listen to me im jsut spouting random shit atp im tired its 11 pmg now)

vanessa - Umbilical (i actually have no good reason for this), Tear Drop (i dont think she wants to be voted innocent for her murder [news flash, shes still getting voted innocent]), Double (or not innocent! idk man shes not mikoto (prisoner singing the song) but i gotta give his songs to someone and she kinda fits)

annie - HARROW (annie and trevor are similar in goals, to take down sin and make them pay for what they've done. however they do it in two different ways. idk those two different ways probably direct death threats (trevor) and an indirect slow death (annie). i have no fucking clue what im talking about actually), Deep Cover ("Don’t you dare stop now I want a reason for judgment execution, I want it" idk what kotoko (prisoner singing the song) ment by this but uhh do what you want with that)

trevor - Bring It On (see HARROW), Backdraft (LISTEN TO THE SONG ITS A FUCKING BANGER- anyways i have no reason for this than this connects with bring it on Burn, burn! An ever-victorious FIRE, burn so high till it becomes ash / Burn, burn! Deliciously scorched, till your mouth waters / Flames closing in, can’t douse this FIRE)

[erinhime83]

This one’s rather random, especially since there’s a lot of others than I could do.  I’m sort of in a frantic state with the realization that I have a lot of design sheets I’d have to do if I wanted to do Division in April.  I mean, it is still up in the air - the nice thing is that, if my muse shifts back to WfS, I pretty much have everything I need for that (and it still might!).  This, however....eh....

In any case, I wanted to redo the designs of Gabe’s family after doing redoing Captain Steel - I wanted his wife to match him a bit better, then figured, hell, might as well do their children as well.  And then, hell, let’s add Eagle Eye as well, since it’s predominate.  And then this morning, decided to do a sheet of the Blackburnes since, obviously, Nova interacts with them a lot.

The first in the Wolfhart designs is a new one, that one being of Adam’s little brother, Trevor aka Shadow Wolf.  Trevor is sort of based on my husband’s super hero who shares the same name.  I’m not quite sure what his powers are - something about time, I believe - but I based his costume off something my husband might wear, since he has a thing for the ‘detective’ look, but then I also gave him the half cape his brother sports.  Over all, I rather like how he looks, although not sure if I’ll remember to include him, lol.

Pegaus’ outfit was originally a bodysuit like it used to be, but...I didn’t really care for the look and experimented with giving her pants and...wow.  I really like the matronly look she has going on!  Maybe its the colors, but she looks approachable and like she’d adopt you the moment you suggested you needed a hug.  Olivia has always been gorgeous, but I really like how this came together.

I imagine that she had a bodysuit once upon a time - I’m pretty sure Cosmic Star chose that look as a homage to Pegasus - but then she just shifted to something more comfortable as she got older.  The woman is in her fifties, after all.

I always have trouble with Angelico costume.  Coming up with male costume ideas is hard (not like females are easier), and him especially.  I had this random idea that he wears his black leather jacket even in his superhero state, because he thinks it makes him look more badass, and I found it hilarious enough to use.  Then I ended up giving him simple stripes for the hell of it, and with the black boots, well, I actually really like this one!  Simple, but effective.

I didn’t change a damn thing about Invidia other than her hair, because I didn’t think she’d actually have bangs.  ^^;  Still one of my favorite costumes, even if the person wearing it is trash (sorta wish I used this design for Cosmic Star, oh well).  She’s pretty.

I removed the masks from Angelico and Invidia because I got to thinking and, and in this world, unless the person chooses to remain anonymous, their identity is just out there and there’s no point in masks.  The newer recruits wear masks because most of them aren’t ready for people to recognize them outside of work.  Like, sure, people might know their name, but they wouldn’t recognize them right away.  The exception, of course, is heroes who wear glasses, who wear masks just to protect their eyes (so they’re not fighting with glasses on).  Being the elder children of Captain Steel, though, makes them instantly recognizable with or without a mask, so there’s no point in wearing one.

(Gabe wears a mask as a form of solidarity towards Connor, whose one of those heroes who has to wear a mask).

Eagle Eye’s role is mostly that of Astrid’s father, but he shows up enough because he’s also a predominate hero.   He wasn’t a part of the original group who started the Guild, but he was fighting around the same time, despite being, like, a teenager when the Guild was formed.  He was one of the first people scouted the join, though.  I realized, when working on his design, that I ‘see’ him wearing a sort of colonial looking outfit for some god forsaken reason, so...here we are.  I like it, cuz it’s different.

The next set is simple, being Nova and Luna’s family.  Their mother is a teacher, so I tried to give her something similar and comfortable to wear.  Its cute, I really like it!  And then their father is over there looking appropriately adorkable.   The man’s an accountant, but he doesn’t look boring enough to be one. 

(And don’t ask me how two people with brown hair produce three daughters with blond hair.  No one knows, okay?)

Soliel looks adorable!  I mean, I’ll admit, I know next to nothing about teenage fashion (or...fashion at all),  but I just sort of slapped something together and liked it, so there we are.  Soleil is similar to Nova, though, in that she isn’t exactly that into fashion, unlike Luna.  But it looks cute, though, and that’s all that matters.  ^^;

So yeah, just some random quick and easy Cataclysm designs.

Julie and the Phantoms

So I saw someone on here with a theory about how Bobby killed Luke Alex and Reggie and considering this is still technically a kids show that seems to be a bit dark so idk if that will end up being true but there are points to be made in favor of this theory which are he stole all of Luke’s songs...made millions off of them without ever crediting the guys or even mentioning them to anyone ever and he didn’t have to share any of the glory either and he didn’t go with them to get street dogs saying he was a vegetarian which he wasn’t and I thought that was just cuz he was tryna score a date but what if there was more to that...not to mention what’s with the whole changing his entire name thing that seems a lil suspicious all things considering and apparently the article Julie looked up said he couldn’t be found ??? but then again he could just be a weasel opportunist too so ???

Anyways tho feeding off the idea that Bobby/Trevor killed the guys what if...what if he made a deal with Caleb and sold his soul to him for like fame and fortune or whatever being center spotlight and Caleb killed them for him in return or something kinda like a crossroads demon situation except it’s a powerful ghost magician lol but like that brings me to to how Julie and Trevor’s daughter were best friends and how much did Julie’s mom know about everything...cuz like Julie’s mom was in the club that night and she had a sunset curve demo and met all the guys so did she realize/know from the beginning that Trevor was Bobby or did they not meet again till later after their kids were born and she didn’t recognize him or maybe they never had much to do with each other and just their kids did idk...but if she didn’t know who he was or what he did what if she found out so when she died she sent the boys to Julie for them to help her but for her to help them and so maybe their unfinished business could be something to do with how they actually died cuz what else could the three of them need to do to move on if it wasn’t helping Julie or playing the orpheum ???

This got long and crazy and probably doesn’t make much sense but it’s just some thoughts I started having I know this probably will never even come close to what happens but when you’re obsessed with a show and you gotta wait ages for a new season the theories start getting wild!!

[callsignbaphomet]

I don't know if this would be considered offensive or a type of appropriation but it's not my intention. If it's any of the above I'll scrap the idea all together.

So in Nioh 1 and 2 you get guardian spirits to take with you and since Nioh 2 has cc I obviously made my OCs. Now, I've been pairing each OC with a guardian I think suits them. On paper at least since gameplay wise it ain't really wise especially if a fight is really hard. Also gotta take builds into consideration.

Loke absolutely loves birds so they fit well with Yatagarasu, Ame-no-Mitori, Ho, Ho-oh, Oh and any other bird guardian. As well as Nine Tails as I associate Loke with foxes. I have no explanation for that tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I just see a fox and instantly think of them.

Jelani goes well with Shin-Roku which is a buck and I associate bucks and stags with her. Again I have no real explanation for this. I just see bucks, stags, moose, reindeer and goats and I instantly think of her. She also gets Yatagarasu cuz it's a crow and Skyrim Jela has Dagny which is a crow. I also use Hakutaku cuz goat and a pretty charming one at that tbh. Shirohami as well cuz it's a big ol' snake and Jelani has a big ol' pet snake named Dagny.

For Ginger I her usibg Kagewani cuz sharks are her most favorite animal and the dragons Blue Dragon, Mizuchi and the DLC one cuz she loves those scaly fuckers. Also Yaonami-Hime since it's a mermaid.

For sure Itokuri for Abigail because she absolutely loves spiders. I think another good fit for her is Genbu. She's the "weird pets" lesbian I guess you could say.

Trevor's the cat lover of the group so for him it would be Hyobishin (black panther) and Nekomata (house cat).

Angelus gets Okuri-Inu (dog), Makami (wolf), Usura-Hicho (group of butterflies), Janomecho (moth) and Gyokuto (rabbit).

However, I've been thinking up other guardians that suit them all better. Sure, Angelus and dogs is a great mix but I'd make a manta ray one for him and maybe even a white-throated magpie.

Jelani's favorite animal is the otter so I'd make an otter for her.

Loke's fine with all the birds but I'd make a pigeon for them because pigeons are their favorite bird.

For Trevor I totally see a saber-toothed cat for sure!

A snail for Abigail! Yeah, she's more of a spider lover but snails are so cuuuuuute and she loves them as well!

A sea dragon with shark features for Ginger. Or maybe a bat? Is that too on the nose? A vampire with a bat guardian? Lol

Mason absolutely loves rabbits so his would be a jackalope. Cryptid guardian eeeyyyyy.

I say "I wanna draw x thing" a lot and never do but I'd totally wanna draw them.

Days 50, 51, and 52

of @the-wip-project’s 100 Days of Writing

50. What fic/story made you?

I’m not sure how to answer this, as I don’t feel entirely ‘made’ yet. lol...and I have a feeling I probably never will. But today, at least, I am at peace with that.

I tend to flit around from story-to-story a lot, but the one that has held my attention for the longest amount of time (and with the highest word count), and definitely absorbed soooooo much of my personal journey in turn, teaching me things about myself and my writing along the way, has been my first fenhanders series (sort of being neglected atm...*grimace*), Lost & Found. The end has been written for a long time, because I’ve always known how I wanted that to go, and I’m still very excited to share it some day. As well as several other important (and less important) parts in between where I left off with posting it on AO3.

51. Do you use tools for plotting and what are they?

I outline a lot...and I have a chaotic system of bookmarks and links in my drafts that tie into those outlines/second/third drafts. I should totally start using one of those fancy story organizers, but I see all the “fill this in” type boxes and I’m like “no.” And then it’s just back to my more comfortable chaos. [Author’s note: After looking up the ‘shopping list’ method in order to answer the next prompt, I’m like, “Oh! That IS what I do!”]

52. Pick an idea and write a short "shopping list" of what will happen in the story.

I haven’t had many opportunities to sit down and write this week, so I’ll do the shopping list for the Castlevania Family Reunion fic that I’ve had to revise/rethink way too many times for just a silly, wish fulfillment, happy epilogue. Spoilers ahead, obviously, so it’s under a cut, just in case I ever get around to finishing it and posting it.

1. 15 years after season 4 ends, Lisa tells Vlad it’s time to see their son (something about her mortality...Vlad’s denial of it becoming a concern, yadda yadda yadda)

2. They get to the Village of Belmont (travel not important?), but it’s more of a bustling town now (Lisa is delighted, Vlad is...less so).

3. They speak with Roda, the tavern owner, who gives them the ‘Welcome to Belmont’ spiel (Lisa happily plays along to get information). Roda is also an excellent judge of character and is sort of checking them out...good-naturedly.

4. While that conversation is going on, some weird things happen that only Vlad notices, and might be easily dismissed as paranoia: a drunk guy stumbles into him, an old man passes by and eyes them both suspiciously (maybe a third thing...IDK...three’s a nice number...)

5. They pretend to go to the Inn (the Belmont Estate), but sneak off toward the castle when they think no one’s watching them.

6. They get to the castle and find the doors are open, but a small mob tries to stop them, including the drunk guy and the old man (see 4.), who claim to have been tracking them down since they crossed the mountains in the west. They manage to get inside and close the front doors on them before too many other people show up.

7. Vlad tells Lisa to go find Alucard while he holds them off at the entrance, promises not to hurt anyone cuz they both know if he does, this whole ‘I’m better now’ thing will be over.

8. Lisa finds Alucard having dinner with his family (Greta, Sypha, Trevor, and little Adrian Danesti Belnades-Belmont, who is now 14, and goes by the name Dani). Did they hear the doors closing? Are they on high alert? Yeah, probs.

9. Lisa has to convince Alucard she is real, and then tells him that his father is out front holding off an angry mob with pitchforks. Greta and Trevor immediately go to help with the mob, while Sypha and Alucard tell a very eager-to-prove-herself Adrian to stay back...Lisa asks the girl if she thinks she could protect her, a helpless old lady (wink wink), and she finally agrees to stay.

10. Trevor and Vlad do some fun banter, while Greta goes out and handles her people, calms most of them down and sends them home before Alucard and Sypha even get there, except for a group of ‘outsiders’ (cultists?) who insist they are harboring the Lord of Darkness and Roda (and her axe) helps deal with them.

Bonus 11. Vlad now has to convince not only his son, but his son’s three spouses and an entire town he’s not going to turn all Dracula on them again. Lisa helps. Lisa and Sypha and Greta get along great. Dani and Grandpa Vlad have some kind of weird special bond that raises eyebrows sometimes (she is a Belmont, after all...sorta), but it goes a long way toward building up trust between everyone.

unintended

A/N: Okay. So, this was supposed to be a completely different story with more thot antics than romance. But then this idea came and I decided to choose this one instead. I’m still just practicing over here. So, any feedback is appreciated. 😊 This is my first and most likely last fic that will be with a real celeb. So, I hope y’all dig it. It will be a series. So, expect more! I'm just not certain how I feel about writing for real humans that exist. AS ALWAYS, shout out to @glittermakesmesmile​​ for always reading first and making things make sense. She’s wonderful. Be on the look out y’all. 👀 

Pairing: Trevor Jackson x Black OC

Warnings: None

Word Count: 2265

“I WANNA FEEL THE HEAT WITH SOMEBODY! YEAAHHHH I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY. WITH SOMEBODY WHO-” Jayden stopped belting out the Whitney lyrics as her music paused and her Trey Kennedy ringtone filtered through her car’s speakers. 

RING RING RIIIIIIING. RING RING RING RIIIIING RING!

She looked at her screen and the unsaved number which was staring back at her. 

“Hello?” she asked trying not to let the aggression creep into her voice towards whomever had ruined her jam sesh as she weaved through the madness that was LA Traffic. 

“Hey girl, how you doing?” greeted her with a sweet Southern twang

“Oh shit! It’s Terrell” Jayden thought automatically as she began gushing. All aggression was temporarily forgotten. 

“Hey boo! I’m just circling the block trying to find a spot. I’m makin’ a pit stop at Blue Bottle. What’s up? Can I grab a coffee for you?”

“..bring me their Single Origin?” Jayden heard coming through in the background.

“Nigga” Terrell chuckled in an incredulous tone without losing his good humor. 

“Who’s that? Is that Matt?” she asked trying to piece together what was going on. She was supposed to be meeting Terrell in 45 minutes. She was barely 3 miles away from his place. She’d planned  the day out perfectly so that she would be on time, for once in her life.  You only win the Shits & Giggles Song Association once. I mean, how could she be late for THAT?! 

It sounded like there was some sort of disagreement happening on the other end as Terrell’s voice came in high pitched and strained  “No. That’s not Matt, it’s-,”

“Wait, it’s my fault. Let me tell her” said the mystery person on the line. Jayden was confused as she put her car in park and grabbed her headphones so that she could continue to have this conversation while she stood in line at Blue Bottle. 

“Ugh. Okay,” Terrell relented.

“Hey Jayden. It’s Jayden, right?” spoke an unfamiliar male voice on the other line.

“Yes.. and this is?” Jayden questioned as she opened the door and was blindly greeted by a barista.

“Well hopefully,  the one you grab a Cold Brew for.” chuckled out of the other end of her phone. 

“NIG-GUH. Where is my henny? Cuz I can’t wit yo ass,” Terrell hollered in the background and Jayden heard some generous pouring being done.

“Okay. Can someone please explain to me what’s going on? I’m fourth in line so if you want anything I need some answers first. Who is this?”

“Damn. Straight to it. She’s kind of feisty. She gotta be a fire sign.” Jayden heard this come in muffled as if the person was trying to communicate out of her earshot. She sighed outwardly. Typically, she had more patience than this. However, LA traffic really brought out the worst in her. 

“Third in line.” she said, “and about 10 seconds away from using some choice words with you myself.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Let me explain. My name is Trevor. Trevor Jackson” he paused. Jayden waited for some further explanation. This name wasn’t ringing a whole lot of bells for her and she didn’t see the point in him being on her line. She was still confused; although, having a name did cause her to simmer down a little. She pulled her phone out of her back pocket while he spoke and was getting ready to Google “Trevor Jackson” but she was bombarded by all of the texts she hadn’t received while her phone was in drive mode. 

“Okayy, Trevor who wants me to bring him coffee. What’s going on?” she asked in a genuinely curious tone and without her previous bite. She made her way through the barrage of “Congrats”, “Good luck” & “Don’t Fuck Up!” texts her family and friends had showered her in. 

Trevor took his time providing her with an explanation. He was measuring out his words and how he would respond “Look, I know that you’re scheduled to shoot your Song Association episode with Terrell soon and that’s great! Congratulations on the win, uh, by the way! But, I had a mix up on my end. I thought that I was supposed to meet him today at 2 pm. Instead of next Saturday at 2 and I’m actually going to be unavailable at that time. So, I was thinkin maybe I could go first since I’m already here. Then, Terrell can just shoot yours afterwards? Plus, my mom’s here to watch me do this because she’s a big Terrell fan and it would mean a lot.” 

Well when you play the mom card. Jayden thought 

The boy was lucky there was only one register at this Blue Bottle and that the person ordering right now had a lot of complicated orders or his lengthy answer may have caused him his Cold Brew. 

“Okayy. That makes sense,” Jayden says, “ I blocked off the rest of my day to be here so I can hang around. I get to watch yours right? I mean you’re not gonna just ask me to bring you coffee and then make me leave?” she giggled as a way to relieve the nervousness she felt about the situation and then she waited because she was certain this Trevor guy nor Terrell would ask her to leave. Right?

She was met with silence. Absolute and complete utter silence. There was no sound whatsoever on the other end.

“Hello? Helllo? Did y’all put me on mute?” Three seconds later there was roaring laughter and she stepped forward. She would be next in line real soon.

“Yes! I’m sorry I accidentally put you on mute. But thank you! Thank you! My mother and I truly thank you.”

“It’s okay! Does your mama want anything while I’m here?” Jayden asked. 

“Oh, yeah. Uh please get her the tea. I promise I got you when you get here. 

“It’s fine,” Jayden responded. “Well, I guess I’ll see y'all soon. It’s my turn,”

“Thank you Jayden. I really mean that.”

“Not a problem” she said.

17 minutes later Jayden was sitting in her car in the Guest Parking garage that Terrell had told her to park in when she arrived. 

“Here” she texted. 

“Meet me at the elevator” was her reply. 

Jayden grabbed the drink carrier and her mini black backpack and headed for the elevator. By the time she made it to the door, Roxy was there to let her in. 

“Hi Jayden” she said.

“Oh my goodness, hiii” Jayden said as she gave Roxy a hug with her free hand. It was just sinking in that this was real. She was really about to be on Song Association. She loved watching the series & was ready to come for Miss Amber P Riley’s perfect score. She definitely didn’t have the perfect vocals to match. However, her competitive nature was not going to let her miss out on this opportunity to fuck this game up.  

“Hey girl, thanks for being so cool about today,” Roxy said as they stepped into the elevator. She pressed the button for the fourth floor. “We’re going to be doing lots of filming today so we can get this content out on schedule.”

‘Yeah, it’s no problem,” Jayden responded, “ Like I said,I already set aside the rest of my day for this. So, it’s really not a problem. Plus, this way I get to say I saw this Trevor guy on Terrell first!” she laughed.

“You’ve really never heard of him before?” Roxy inquired.

“Mm-mm” she shook her head in the negative.

“Wellll, you are definitely in for a treat,” Roxy smirked. The elevator dinged to let them know that they had made it to the fourth floor.

She took a right out of the elevator and led the way down the hallway until they made it to unit 414. Roxy opened the door and Jayden was immediately met with fresh air. After the heat of the LA sun, the cold air was refreshing.

“Miss JAY-den!” Terrell called out to her once he heard his front door shut. He set his glass down on the table. She couldn’t help it. She broke out into a full faced grin. She couldn’t even see anything but his hallway and all of her teeth were already on full display. She followed Roxy deeper into the apartment and when she saw him she was so overwhelmed that she wasn’t sure what to do. Terrell hopped off of his stool, removed the drink carrier from her hands by placing it on a nearby table and greeted her with open arms. In that singular moment, Jayden felt welcomed and as if she was the most valued individual in that room. So, of course it was at that time that she made the fated mistake of looking over Terrell’s shoulder and got a real  good look at a well-groomed and delicious piece of chocolate. Trevor gave a slight wave which she returned with a smile. 

“MM. I am so glad that you’re here.” Terrell said as he rubbed circles in her back and gave her all of the reassurance she needed to be there. She was still nervous. But she was starting to think that this was all planned and for a purpose.

“I’m so glad to be here!” she replied as he released her from their embrace. 

“And BIIIIIIIIIITCH. This is a WHOLLEEE ASS LOOK! We gone talk about this later boo. But can I get a twirl?” Jayden did one better. She retreated back towards the hallway and came back in full runway flair. She strutted into the room, twirled and looked over her shoulder as she headed back towards the entrance. Finally, she strutted back one last time and gave Terrell a smirk. His energy was contagious. She had nearly forgotten that there were other individuals in the room.

“Oh yeah. Definitely a fire sign,” Trevor commented as he reached for whatever concoction Terrell had prepared for him prior to her arrival. 

“Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry. Where are my manners?” She reached for her drink tray and provided him with his Cold Brew, “Trevor, I presume?” she asked as she stretched the drink out to him.  He responded with a smile of his own. 

“That’s me.” Trevor verified nodding his head. He took the drink with his left and shook her hand with his right. “Thank you Jayden. I really do appreciate everything. What do I owe ya?”

“Oh no, that’s fine. Don’t even worry about it.” 

“Nah, I got you. What’s your venmo? Cashapp? Zelle? I got you.” Jayden ignored his queries and responded with his own. 

“Where’s your mama?” Just then, an older Black woman with tight skin, a tight body to match and some of the kindest eyes Jayden had ever seen came from around the corner. She was really out here showing that Black don’t crack and she wasn’t even on camera!

“Hi Mrs. Jackson, my name is Jayden.” she smiled and handed the older woman her tea, “here’s your drink ma’am. I got some sugar too just in case you’re like me and like it sweet.” 

“Thank you so much sweetheart. I love sugar. I need just enough to keep the diabetes at bay” Mrs. Jackson responded as she too embraced Jayden in a hug. “Your timing is perfect actually. I was just heading out.” she said. 

“Oh no, is everything okay?” Jayden asked hoping she wasn’t being too nosey in her first impression. 

“Oh yes darling. Trevor’s brother Ian has an event today too and I told him I would be there. But, I refused to miss the opportunity to meet this young man and see my baby boy get a few songs in on this game.” Mrs. Jackson clarified. “Thank you so much for this tea. Trevor, did you pay this young woman for this?” she asked sharply. Jayden could tell two things about Mrs. Jackson off the bat: 1) she was kind 2) she was no nonsense . The look she gave her son spoke volumes. It said “I know I raised you to be polite. I don’t care who you singin for but you better be respectful and don’t expect nothin from no one. Not even a damn coffee. 

Damn. Jayden thought. 

“I’m working on it ma.” Trevor told her. “Okayy baby” Mrs. Jackson said while continuing to stare at her son. The lecture left her eyes and was replaced with a knowing look while she smiled at her son.

Well Miss Jayden, I mean it.  I do appreciate it, and good luck to you on your game too. I’m sure you’ll be wonderful,” she said as she hugged the young woman one final time.  Mrs. Jackson continued around the room saying goodbye and hugging everyone. “Terrell, make sure you don’t go easy on my baby boy. He got this. We been practicin’, ya know.” .  

Jayden watched the woman, enamored by the similarities between Mrs. Jackson and her favorite aunt.  Jayden was so caught up in her thoughts, she initially missed Mrs. Jackson’s final goodbye to her, catching only enough to ask the woman to repeat herself.  

“I’m sorry Mrs. Jackson, what did you say? Jayden stammered out flustered as she had gotten so in her own head. 

Mrs. Jackson paused before scurrying out the door to support her first born “ I said I’ll see you soon baby”, giving the young woman a wink and mischievous smirk before disappearing out the door. 

Jayden stared at the door, mouth opening trying to figure out what the woman had meant.

Family Reunion

Story Request by Trevor or @texanstrong

It was getting closer to the holiday season and this was the time Trevor saw people. People in which he had no idea he was related to. Trevors family always got together before Christmas and had a family reunion. Everyone Trevor was related to came every year. He would always meet people he never met before. This year was different though, as Trevor was getting some food he was asked by someone to hand him a fork. He turned to see who it was and had no idea. Trevor said, “Hear you go my man, my name is Trevor. What’s yours?” The guy anwsered “thanks Trevor, I’m Dakota. I’m Preston’s son” Trevor responds, “ oh uncle Preston no way how come I’ve never meet you before.” He anwsered back,” oh I’ve been at college for the last couple of years. I was going to get a business degree. But I dropped out to join the marines and I heard you were in them. You got any tips?” Trevor looked at Dakota noticing how skinny and twinkish he was and said,” that’s gonna be hard for you my man, do u work out?”

Dakota responded ,” I’ve been trying but u just can’t gain muscle. That’s why I wanted to ask you about it.” Trevor looked puzzled he didn’t know how to tell him that there was not much he could do. If he can’t gain muscle it won’t really happen. He looked down and up and Dakota again and spoke,” are you sure u want to be a marine? I mean the marines is the hardest branch of military to join. Maybe u should try something else like the Air Force or national guard. Oh or you could try, being a cop.” Dakota visibly sadden looked down and muttered,” so you don’t think I would pass there tests. I told Dakota that no it wouldn’t and said it will be alright, and wakes away. That whole day I felt bad for him, he kept looking at me sadden and jealous taht I was a marine and he could be. The day was just about over when I went to go take a leak by a tree. I heard someone sneek up behind me and turned around real fast. It was Dakota. I yelled,” WHAT THE HELL MAN, DOT. SNEEK UP ON MY LIKE THAT!!” He grinned and pushed me against the tree with I godly strength. What are you doing I said to him, he responded,” well if u don’t think I can gain muscles, we will see about that when I swallow u whole and use ur mass to make big buff and then we will see who can join the marines then.” A face of terror cane on Trevors face as he realized how bad the situation was. He was trapped and pinned with no one around. He tried to break free but nothing. That’s when Dakota said as he looked up and down his body. As all this was happening Trevor massive cock was still out form when he was pissing. He whispered in his ear.”nice cock cuz, I sure am going to enjoy that member when it’s on my buff toned body.” Trevor freaks as his cousin Dakota opens his massive mouth and stretches unbelievably wide and swallows Trevor’s head.

Trevor helpless, from the freakishly strong twink, try’s to squirm and wiggle free from his cousins but to no avail. Dakota sucks I’m more of Trevors buff body. Up to his chest down Dakotas throat his arms at pinned to his side and helpless and gravity pushes him down further and further down Dakotas twink throat. Dakota stops as he gets up to Trevors massive cock. He wants to see how big it can get so he knows what he’s getting. Trevor completely hard gets up to a 8 inche cock. Though Trevor resisted it, Dakota jerked him off until Trevor cummed all over Dakotas face. The marines hot sticky white cum streaming off his cousin face. After trevor limps down to 5 to 6 inches and Dakota swallows up to Trevors knees. Trevor, enters Dakotas stomach and gravity pulls him all the way down his throat and into his stomach. Poor Trevor, curled up in a ball I’m Dakotas stomach, try’s to find a way out. Dakota satisfied, looks down at his trevor ball shaped stomach bulge, he says, “ bet you wish u had helped me out. Now ur going to help me in a very unwilling manner. Think your all tough because your a marine but I will be one with your help. Oh don’t freak man it’s painless. Are you wondering how I overpowered you, I bet you are. You think I didn’t know I couldn’t gain wieght? I’m not stupid so I did some research and found a 5 min steroid that boosts my strength. Haha, stupid fool now ur going to be digested and turn me into a better version of you.” Trevor scared and angry try’s to get out, but nothing. Dakota looked up and realizes he needs to get away without being caught with a human shaped stomach. He gets his keys and drives away without being caught. He gets home and shits his room door, he lays on his bed and rubs his belly and fall asleep. The morning arrived and Dakota woke up. He went to the mirror and saw his new slef

He had it all chiseled abs, and nice pecs, strong buff arms and an ass that can’t quit. His favorite change is the snake of a cock hidden in his pants. He grins and jerks on off to the pictures of Trevor on Trevors phone. No evidence, was left of Trevor. 3 months later and Dakota was officially a marine. He was so happy, Trevor was reported missing but nothing came back to Dakota. Poor Trevor wasted his life training and getting buff only to have all that stolen from his in minutes. The only thing that remains of trevor is the blue Calvin Klein’s he was wearing taht night. Dakota burped them up that morning after he vored Trevor. They became Dakotas underwear though just like everything else. Dakota took this picture at a marine ball, the same one Trevor was to attend and have a great time.

(Hey guys Sam here, go give my friend and hot stud of a man Trevor a follow. His blog is @texanstrong )

SIPPING JUICE — CHAPTER ONE

warnings: this story includes mature content such as substances, sex, suicide, and more that might not be suitable for people of the ages 16 and under.

( chapter one, 2253 words ! )

I TURNED AROUND AND THERE HE WAS... the boy that was always there for me and me for him. I smiled at him, running into his arms. I held him tightly, like I would never see him again. I sighed, letting free from my grasp

"I missed you so much Jarad-" I started to tear up a bit.

It had been almost three months since I had seen him, because for the first summer ever my dad decided that it was a good idea that I went with him for the summer. My mother agreed with him saying that it was good for me to spend time with my father. I begged her to not make me go, but she denied my request, so instead of using three months of my time being with my friend, they went to waste on my excuse of a father.

"Hey, look at me y/n, it's okay, I'm here." He smiled softly cupping my cheeks. "now don't cry ma' let's get you home, we can make up for lost time later." I nodded softly at what he said. He took my hand into his as we walked down the streets of Chicago that we called home. We walked in a comfortable silence the whole way to his place.

He smiled at me, flashing a pair of bronze keys at me.

I laughed a bit, "Huh, so your mommy finally thought you were grown enough for your own pair?" I teased him, he just rolled his eyes in response.

"Actually y/n, I made the copy myself from the spare so, ha, no my mother didn't give them to me" he remarked.

"Aww he's such a grown up!" I pouted. "I want baby Jarad back, have you seen him? You know the one with the baby face, and short, non dyed dreads?" I crossed my arms in a joking manner.

"Y/n, you act like a child-" he said, opening the door.

"It's because I want yours!" He looked at me seriously, and I said "I'm joking!"

As I walked into the small apartment, I noticed that there was something different, I don't know if it was a vibe or something physical that had changed, it didn't feel right with me.

"Jarad, did you guys change anything in here since I left?" He shook his head as a response. I assumed they just had a friend over or something and shook off the feeling that I had gotten, somewhat like an evil presence had been here.

"You still playing GTA Jarad?" I asked sitting down on his couch. "Uh yeah... I had to choose who the fuck I wanted to kill, Franklin, Michael, or Trevor."

"Please tell me you picked Trevor-" I said whilst picking up a controller for the PlayStation.

"Funny thing is I did" he laughed.

"How'd you kill him?"

"Fire"

"Oof- that shit must have sucked to die in" I laughed.

"Yeah, right. Well I'll be back, I'm going to take a shower" after that he walked upstairs, leaving me alone downstairs.

( a few minutes later ! )

There was a loud knock on the door, just as I had gotten shot in the head,

"Son of a bitch!" I grunted.

I walked towards the door opening it, revealing a short girl with dark hair and pink highlights. I felt that same vibe as I did earlier but I ignored it. A little annoying by her presence I asked

"What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?" She replied with my question.

"Um... I'm Jarad's best friend, y/n, who are you?" She looked at me in disgust as those five first words came out of my mouth.

"Oh, I'm Alexia, Alexia Smith, nice to meet you y/n" she smiled fakely, I feeling petty today returned it.

"Is there anything I can get you, Alexia?" I questioned.

"Uh yeah, is Jarad home?" She asked looking down at her shoes.

"Um, no I'm sorry he isn't here right now, I'll let him know that you wanted him, bye, bye" I said shutting the door on her face. I sighed, pressing my back against the door, allowing myself to fall to the ground.

"Who was that?" I heard a voice in front of me asked.

Annoyed that he didn't tell me he had a new girlfriend I said "who is Alexia Smith?"

"Oh, I see, you've met her, Alexia is a friend I met at the park."

"Just a friend?" I cocked an eyebrow.

"Promise Y/n, I'd never lie to you"

"Okay, but I want you to sing for me, and in exchange I'll make you and ma' dinner, deal?"

He scratched his neck and looked down as if he were putting much into my question.

"Okay, Deal" he smiled.

"Oh, and you'll have to sing for me" I giggled. He smiled and tackled me onto the couch, we burst out in laughter.

"Oh god I've missed this" I smiled sadly, he sighed "me too, damn, it's only been three months without each other and it feel like it was an eternity, if we ever get like- supper mad at eachother and shit, and we like won't say sorry because of our pride- I don't know how I would do it, y/n, being without you is- worse than I thought" he chuckled.

"We won't- friends forever, remember? Always and forever" I sat up and kissed him on the cheek.

"Now you have to sing for meee!" I yelled.

"Okay, well so- I haven't told you this but...I've been working on some songs-"

"-And you didn't call me- nuh uh baby, show me them songs" I interrupted him.

"...sorry?" He asked in a way. I gave him a straight face and shook my head.

"Here look, I typed up the lyrics in my phone, but I don't know what to call it! I wanna do Autograph but I also want to do On my line" he pouted handing me the phone.

"Let me see, do you have this recorded Jare?" I asked, reading the lyrics.

He nodded in response, "I love it, and you know what you can call it, Autograph (On my line) it fits," I smiled, "now, the best part... sing it for me, please!"

"Fine" he cleared his throat, getting ready to sing for me.

"I hope I'm the only girl you sing to" I joked.

"You know I wouldn't do that shit with any other girl" he laughed.

"Why you mad,Why you mad, Why you mad, Why you mad?

That's all I wanna know! You're lookin' like a joke, try humour at the most. Steady chokin' on your shade like a dick in your throat,

Well if you're gonna throw shade my way, Maybe you should throw with a little more aim. It's a cold day in hell, when they dirty up your name.

They don't got no business talkin' in the first place i'm freezin'.

All these fuck bitches on my line, Damn bitch you must wanna die tonight

Yeah I rock a choker with a .45 and I know some bitches that are down to ride.

All these hatin bitches on my line, Damn bitch you must wanna fuck tonight!

Let me guess, you're my biggest fan right?"

I was surprised at how much he had improved in the last three months, he was always good but now he would just be top on the charts if he put his music on YouTube and whatnot.

"You wanted an autograph all you had to do was ask, woah

But you lookin like an asshole, Up on twitter and you lookin mad woke, talkin bout me! But you lookin bad woah, Like the ugly daughter that I never had woah, and what's up with these lames, Got my name in they mouth like they swallowin my Children, I never got why bitches hate, its probably Cuz im doin better than em anyway, Its probably cuz i get they bitches wetter anyway, it's Probably cuz im livin and they're in a lower place, They walkin in the slums while im vibin outter space.

Crash land just to take they girl on a dinner. Date, when haters see me winnin they just hyperventilate. They always try to stop me but i never hesitate,

Just follow all your dreams and when you reach them, Celebrate, that's the only way to truly make a hater suffocate.

All these fuck bitches on my line, Damn bitch you must wanna die tonight

Yeah I rock a choker with a .45 and I know some bitches that are down to ride

All these hatin bitches on my line, Damn bitch you must wanna fuck tonight

Let me guess, you're my biggest fan right? You wanted an autograph all you had to do was ask woah

Why you mad that's all I wanna know, Your lookin like a joke try humor at the most

Steady chokin on your shade like a dick in your Throat, well if you're gonna throw shade my way.

Maybe you should throw with a little more aim, It's a cold day in hell when they dirty up your name. They don't got no business talkin in the first Place i'm freezin, but these haters not breathin.

Stevie wonder to these haters no seein, And I don't believe it they hate me hate me for no reason. All these fuck bitches on my line,

Damn bitch you must wanna die tonight

Yeah I rock a choker with a .45 and i know some bitches that are down to ride.

All these hatin bitches on my line, Damn bitch you must wanna fuck tonight

Let me guess, you're my biggest fan right? You wanted an autograph all you had to do was ask woah." He finished, I started clapping.

"You, Jarad Anthony Higgins, are talented. No cap" I hugged him.

"Thank you" he smiled into the hug. "Now what's for dinner" he smirked.

"rice and beans, I'm kidding! My mom has some pasta at her house last time I checked, do you have oil or butter?"

"Yess"

"Okay, and no cheese, see after three months I couldn't forget your hate for cheese" I smiled.

Me and Jarad lived right across the street from each other. I walked out the door crossing the street, and walked in my "home", my mom was never home, she was too busy whoring around her body, when many people had offered her jobs, easy ones too! Even if they paid good money she would say no. The only time I would see her is if she had a guy over! And they wouldn't even be dressed, I basically lived with Jarad ever since my mom was fired for sleeping with her manager at her last job. When she would ground me from going to Jarads I would sneak out late at night through my window, and crawl in his. That was when I was twelve. That's why Jarad's mom is more of a mom to me than my own, she's always cared for me.

I took a deep breath in, smelling the air around me, "home sweet home" I mumbled sarcastically. Per usual it smelled like alcohol, weed, and sex. I rolled my eyes, seeing that she hadn't changed her habits. Walking into the kitchen, I opened the cabinet, finding the pasta just where I left it, I smiled to myself grabbing it and walking out. Shutting the door behind me.

I walked into Jarad's home, placing the pasta on the counter. I started to hum a song.

As I washed my hands Jarad came back into the room, I smiled. "I brought pasta" I sang,

"And you're humming Tupac, again" he sang back. I laughed "I'm always humming older songs" he laughed walking into the kitchen, next to me. He washed his hands and took out his phone playing the song I was humming. I laughed "you really did that didn't you?" I rhetorically asked while 'Picture me rolling' played in the background. He took out the pot and I put in the water, letting the pasta boil on the stove.

"Full grown, finally a man. Just scheming' on ways to put some green inside the palms" we both sang along. He wrapped his arms around my waist moving to the rhythm of the beat. I kissed his cheek, and smiled, "pastas ready" and as if on cue Mrs.Higgins walked through the door- she looked stressed. I smiled softly at her as she looked relieved seeing that dinner was already made.

"Y/n" she sighed "you're back!" She smiled brightly.

"You really thought I was going to leave yall, never"

When we ate dinner we caught up for the most part. Nothing too exciting happened in the last three months, but for some reason I couldn't help but think of that girl that stopped by. Jarad in a way seemed different, like he was hurt. It might have just been me, I've felt weird since I had left for the summer, getting these random feelings in my gut.

For the first time in three I slept in peace, knowing I was home. I was finally okay again.

Ordered a sign thats basically “fuckoff im not answering the door LEAVE” , have a ring doorbell (some kind of doorbell app where you can talk to people at the door i guess?)  but when im recording cant be like “hang on a second - FUCKOFF” Ryan: i DO feel like you have the kind of job you could do that , if anything youd put them in the video like “hey you're live right now what you need” … Jack managed to crash 7D2D on my local system already that's a good sign (brief technical difficulties music playing as it cut to ryans screen in the game) 

[sapphire-strikes]

Hmm how about like Fk Helping Trevor confess his feelings to Nat? Cuz it is canon that he has a crush on her,

Yess! I've been waiting to write about Treavor! I was gonna include some stuff about this in my other posts about Trencil and Nat but I forgot!

(I guess you could say they are both a little older in this since I'm gonna go with the premise of him asking her to prom)

• The FK would be the perfect middleman in their relationship.

•You hang out with Trevor all the time, sharing his love of Anime and Video Games.

• He constantly questions you about your relationship with the Varnnias, worried that they've caught you under their vampiric spell and even offers to "wolf out" on Trencil if he ever tries anything on you.

• You're not oblivious to he fact that he only ever talks poorly about Trencil despite knowing Nat is a vampire as well. He might as well have hearts in his eyes when he rambles about her "vampiric charms".

• On the other side of the fence you have Nat, she rolls he eyes and gags when you mention his name, but you can tell there's a slight smile that tugs at the sides of her mouth as she complains about his weird compliments.

• Trevor is particularly excited one night and comes to you for help.

"So, you want me to ask Nat to prom for you?"

"Dont you see? It's the perfect plan, you've secured a place amongst them, they trust you, you're my way into her heart! Plus, I'd do it myself if I could get past her dad!"

"Okay okay, I'll talk to her, Trev. You better show her a good time though, and maybe drop the vampire werewolf stuff for the night, just talk to her as yourself, k?"

• The next time you hang out with Nat you try your best to casually bring Trevor into the conversation.

"Why do you wanna talk about that nerd?"

"Aw, come on he's not that bad. Besides, you know he likes you."

"Yeah I know he likes me, like literally everyone this side if the equator knows he like me at this point."

"Well yeah, but he is kind of a cutie though isn't he?" You nudge her shoulder playfully, "You should give him a chance."

"If you think he's such a cutie, why don't you take him to prom", you can see her smile as she takes a sip of her drink.

"Sister, I ain't about to catch a case." The two of you laugh it out for a moment then her smile turns to one a bit more sincere.

"Okay, I'll go with him, but if it's lame you owe me. Oh, and you have to come too, I'm not gonna be suffer alone."

"Deal!" You guys do a mock handshake to seal the deal and go back to playing Mortal Combat.

• When you tell him she said yes he's ecstatic, hugging you tight and tanking you over and over again.

• Trevor would be a nervous mess but he goes all out; he wears a tuxedo, brings her flowers and probaby even rents a limo.

• Nat wears an old Victorian style dress. It's all black and looks almost tattered but it really compliments her punk, vampire aesthetic.

•Trencil wipes a tear from his eye when he sees her walk down the stairs, mentioning that it belonged to her mother and his mother before that.

• Tencil also thanks you for "chaperoning" them as you jokingly called it. He might have had a few reservations about her going with Trevor otherwise.

• Do them both a favor and lose track of them in the crowd. You can tell it's going well and you can mostly trust Nat to behave.

• When you manage to find them at the end of the night they're sitting on a bench just outside of school. Trevor has a black eye and and Nat's hair is singed, but they're laughing and smiling. Trevor eyes light up and he says something excitedly only for Nat to jokingly shoves him in the face, almost knocking him off the bench. She grabs him by the hand before he falls all the way, quickly pulling him back up.

• It's in that moment that they both notice you. Nat quickly retracts her hand, leaving Trevor to fall over the side of the bench. She stands up to greet you, jokingly criticizing your chaperoning skills.

• Trevor scrambles to quickly pick himself up off the ground, awkwardly saluting you when he makes it to his feel.

• On the way home you look at her questioningly, giving her a smile that implies, {"I told you so"} She rolls her eyes and looks over to Trevor who is currently going on a rant about the latest episode of his favorites show all while the two of you manage to have a conversation without using words. She just smiles and shrugs {"Yeah okay, so maybe you were right"}

lux and ivy’s playlist @ivcsisms THINKING ABOUT A GIRL.

It’s 2 am and I’m thinking about the girl I have a crush on but she’s taken so I spend your night writing about her instead while wondering how it feels to make out with her.

the less i know the better by tame impala --- “someone said they left together i ran out the door to get her she was holding hands with trevor not the greatest feeling ever said, "pull yourself together you should try your luck with heather" then i heard they slept together oh, the less i know the better the less i know the better oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side no surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind so goodbye she said, "it's not now or never wait ten years, we'll be together" i said, "better late than never just don't make me wait forever" don't make me wait forever.”

[ronracer]

Yo,

I have never doubted my feelings towards anyone I have told I love them. And outside of going a little beyond my means to make them smile I've never had to prove how much I truly love them....

But I've been dealing with this company BasicInvite.com

Screwing up our Save the Dates... And watching my fiancee tear up enraged me to a level I never knew... Like I love her so much and on such a primal level that just half tears in her eyes

Let's back up a bit.

Wedding Planning Pt2: invitations

I'm kinda jumping ahead of a bit but im pissed rn so we'll circle back around to the cute fun stuff of this topic. I'm sure by now you all have seen our bomb ass engagement photos. We loved them so much we wanted to use them as our save the dates!

We ordered our save the dates through this company. Being the life-long procrastinators we have chosen to be admittedly we sat on this longer than need be. So we Paid extra for the faster shipping. We get all giddy and excited because it's just one more step towards our new lives. Of course she goes to check on it first ... But the tracking number we received was not working. Called customer service and TREVOR explained that somehow our save the dates were lost!!

Some shit about the post office not scanning the box or something. Now they are a small business, probably have one person taking mail. Part of me felt like they just forgot to put the box in the mail. None of that mattered though. We NEED these save the dates ASAP.

He assured us he was print us new ones and they would be shipped out immediately and they would refund me The extra shipping cost. I lightheartedly tell him The misses will kill me cuz The was my task so don't worried about refunding the money and if we have to pay more to get same day shipping we'll do that. Apparently they can't do same day shipping which makes no damn sense but whateva. The next morning the original package mysteriously  gets an update on the tracking number. Interesting... But regardless Trevor said he would send us a new set. Then we get an email. They TOO have noticed movement on the package and now will WAIT and see before they send a new set.

Um..

..No. We explain to them that we could not afford to wait, which is why we paid extra for the shipping anyway. I asked again for Trevor. He said they understood and would go ahead making the second batch. They were just "letting me know"... Ok... A day goes by and we reach out again because we havent got a tracking number for the second batch. They tell us that the second batch did not pass its quality control inspection and now they have to print a THIRD batch which would take another 3 days!!! They said the good news was that it looked like the original batch would be there the next day anyways. Upon hearing this my sweet little future wife begins tear up off pure frustration. Because honestly, and tell us if we wrong, but it really felt like our original assumptions about them just forgetting to mail the first box was correct. And now they are dragging us along until it shows up so they don't have to make a new box...

Am I wrong?

At this moment my patience had worn out.

I demanded to have this new batch made and shipped the same day because at this point we had wasted too much time to get a refund and go anywhere else. They gave me some b.s. about having a contract with USPS and can't do same day. I demanded to speak to a higher up which i was denied.

Fuck that.

You see the unseen problem small businesses have is that They rely too much on their own social media. So finding the CEO was only a click away.

And I sent him a lengthy FB msg

After that They assured me I would be getting my package that day and give me a full refund. Of course I had heard this three times already. I told them I would NOT get off the phone until my packing is literally in the hands of the postman and I get an email SAYING it was shipped. I'm not kidding you guise. I put the phone on speaker at work at say there with them for 5hours.

They actually sent a picture of the box on the truck and then tried to hang up on me! Hold up. No. I said I needed both the picture AND update on the tracking. Not just being a dick about the situation but if we all remember in the beginning how this all started was them saying "the mail man must have forgotten to scan it..." So you will WAIT with me as I refresh until it says on the way. But I felt bad for the poor girl on the phone, syd I think her name was. So I said this is Trevors fault put his ass on the phone.

There was a strange silence then she says he's out of the office... I really hate when people try and play you like we haven't all worked customer service and managers have given us the I'm not here face

I asked when he would be back and she says she can't give me his schedule. I then tell her if I have to call back for him the civility of this interaction, which was already at a low point, will be null. Further more I have enough sky miles to fly to Utah in the morning if I have to.... By this time the tracking has updated... She tries again to get off the phone. I say where's Trevor.. Oh he has magically reappeared.

Sounding annoyed by having to talk he immediately goes into this bland ingenuine corporate apology. BUT instead of apologizing on behalf of BasicInvite.com this foo says he stands by the quality and service of BasicInvite.com and he apologizes for USPS!?

Bruh...

How you gonna be so self absorbed you gonna blame the Untied States government.

Even if it's true they messed up the first box, which I still don't think they did. What about the 2nd box? Why did I have to curse two poor customer service reps out for you to figure out how to do same day shipping? He then tells me he thought maybe we were trying to get something for free

I went ALL the way off.

I said several times I didn't care about the money for these cheap ass save the dates I wanted the save the dates! I even suggested paying extra. So where in the fuck you get the idea I'm trying to get over?.. He hung up. I called back and got poor syd answers. I say put Trevor on the phone she again says he's not taking calls. I told her I will call everyday for the rest of this year until Trevor or Brock takes my call and gives me a real apology.

They truly had no idea who They just crossed.

I called everyday And only saying hello can I speak to Trevor til They blocked me. I then used the website chat. They blocked my IP from going to their website, then gave me a refund. I went to Starbucks used two pcs and vpns til they had to install a new chat service that could block instantly. Still all I said was hello I need to speak to Trevor. Finally getting a formal cease and desist email I stopped.Trevor you should thank your god that my god put a woman in my life with some sense because I was really prepared to torture you for the rest of my living days.

So now I have double the save the dates and nothing to do with them. If It were up to me I'd burn the whole lot of them post the video on IG and tag BasicInvite.com

Anyone out there listening please do not use these people. I should have known from the name they some basic bitches.

[redvsvblue]

Imagine the first time he headbutts them tho. Like imagine someone has pissed him of so much he just does it without thinking cuz hes so frustrated,and hes mortifies cuz he thinks he hurt the person so he runs off and the others have to find and comfort him.

AHHHH. 

Okay so imagine it’s Gavin, yeah? Jeremy gets fucking annoyed with him and just headbutts him and Gavin, being Gavin, just completely falls on his ass (maybe trips over a chair on the way) and he’s not really hurt he’s just clumsy and dramatic but Jeremy’s already babbling apologies and Gavin rubs his head and Jesus Christ, Lil J, you nearly split my head open! and Jeremy feels terrible about it and leaves as Michael’s helping Gavin right himself. 

And he doesn’t return for a worryingly long amount of time (half an hour, say) and they start to get worried and Gavin’s fine, just holding a cold, damp towel to his forehead and messing around with files and someone suggests they go after Jeremy. 

His car’s still in the car park and Trevor’s still here, so he didn’t go home/get a ride home and eventually they find him “hiding out” (he’d deny it for the rest of time if anyone ever said that to him) in Jon’s office and Geoff’s the one to ask him to come back to the AH office. 

Cue Jeremy apologising to Gavin and Gavin brushing it off like air because he’s already over it, he’s sorry he wound Jeremy up so much and everyone spends some time telling Jeremy it’s completely okay (”it’s not like the prick didn’t deserve it,” Michael jokes, and Gavin swats his elbow) and they’re all fine. 

(”Although maybe take it easy on Geoff,” Ryan says, “one more head injury and he might forget our names.” 

“He already forgets them!” Michael shouts. 

“Shut up!” From Geoff.)

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" #3

#Follow4FollowMyGuy asks: As an artist in uncertain times, how can I keep promoting my music from quarantine?

M$: The first thing you need to do is find some compromising evidence on a friend that runs a website. Then you blackmail them into letting you write a pointless Advice Column that no one actually cares about. That’s the most important place to start.

Once you’ve got that secured, and the money from the blog is flowing endlessly into your account, then you just hustle. Hustling is a lost art these days. There are so many online outlets, and so many different social media platforms that it can get overwhelming pretty quickly. The key is to not let that happen. Focus on one or two at a time. Get weird on Twitter and sneak in some links. Ask for questions on your Instagram story, then find a way to relate your answers to songs you can post. Dive into the hellscape that is Reddit and find a thread that your music fits with, and drop a link. Not all of this is going to work, but it’s worth a shot.

The other important thing to remember is that you don’t have to promote a specific song, or an album, or a video. Just interact with people. Everyone else is online all the time, so just be visible, be friendly, and be accessible. As long as you’re doing something online, no one is going to forget about you.

Maybe don’t use the band page to drop heart eyes on thirst trap photos. Slide into those DM’s from your own account, you know? The last thing you want is the fucking bass player seeing their reply first and stealing your thunder. But then again, all is fair in love and hardrock.

Dan Price asks: Can I have your milk money?

M$:

@FiendingForMosh asks: When are shows coming back?

M$: The real answer is that no one knows. Probably sooner than you think, which is also probably too soon. It’s kind of a lose/lose situation.

Live music is in a weird spot. To go from “Everyone needs to practice social distancing until we can get a handle on this extremely contagious thing” to “Well, it’s not contained, and we don’t have a vaccine, but fuck it. Go ahead and pack as many people as you can into a tiny, poorly ventilated space and let them all slam into each other” in the span of a couple of weeks seems insane.

There are some medical experts that say live shows shouldn’t start again until 2021. That’s not going to happen. That can’t happen. Every place that relies on a steady stream of smaller touring acts and local shows—which is almost all of them—will close if that’s the case. No one wants that. Venues need to make money and bands need to make money. The only way to do that is with shows.

What’s going to be really interesting is seeing who takes the risk. Some bands are going to hit the road two days after “shelter in place” ends. There will be venues ready to host the shows, and people dying to see them—no matter who that band is. The very idea of getting back out in public and seeing their friends is going to be enough for a lot of people. Those bands are probably going to do pretty well, and play for a lot of grateful people every night.

Then there are going to be other bands that take the whole rest of the year off. To them, the juice won’t be worth the squeeze. They’ll stay home, write new songs, make a new record, and continue to wait it out. The bands that take this route are probably the bands that are a little more established, and have other sources of income. Some bands can afford not to tour. Others can’t.

There are also going to be a lot of people who just don’t trust anyone in a large crowd for a while.

“I’d love to see that band. But there’s no way in hell I’m going to stand in the dark while a drunk, sweaty guy—still wearing a heavy denim jacket in fucking July for some reason—brushes his damp hair across my face as he tries to squeeze through an already tiny space.”

It’s weird, it’s scary, and it’s pretty unprecedented. But it is going to be okay. Live music will always be something that people enjoy, and there will always be someone who figures out how to make the most of it. Things aren’t going back to normal anytime soon, but maybe that’s a good thing. It gives everyone a chance to decide what the new normal is.

There is one upside that could come from this, and one that Milk Money wholeheartedly supports: Maybe venues/bars/clubs will actually keep their bathrooms clean, stocked, and operational.

Ahhh, who are we kidding? No one is going to learn anything from the last five weeks.

M$ presents #SLCHC2020LOVE The Mixtape

@StatuteOfLimitations asks: What is your wildest tour story? Dan$: As all of Milk Money will attest, my memory is not the hottest. But I’ve been blessed with a metric shit-ton of sketchy/amazing tour experiences, so here’s a montage of pretty true events... - Coming up with the idea for Milk Money with Trevor on west coast Cherem runs.

- Roger Miret teaching me his prison workout regimen in an old church in Switzerland. 

- Watching Madball and Obituary festival sets in Turino, Italy from the fancy comfort of an above-ground pool.

- Breaking up fights between American soldiers and German hardcore kids.

- Breaking up fights between American soldiers and Japanese hardcore kids.

- Getting into fights with American soldiers in foreign lands.

- The time Lord Ezec asked me if I wanted to smoke some crack with him.

- The time the moon crashed into Idaho.

- Hiding outside the backstage tent of symphonic metal cover band Apocalyptica in a giant mud puddle during a Czech Republic downpour with Vinnie Stigma, waiting for them to take the stage, so we could sneak in and steal coffee from their espresso machine.

- Taking Matt Mascarenas to the beach for the first time in his life.

- Fuck Nick Cannon. - Watching an aggro road-rager freak and back down a steep-ass, 500-foot grassy slope into a cow pasture after he pulled us over to fight. - The Lightkeeper’s Trail (What's good, Countdown to Life/Broadway Calls?!?!?!) - Watching Sparky from Demented Are Go bite the head straight off a dead rat, pound a bottle of vodka, and say, “That’ll clean it up.” - Chasing a not-be-identified drummer from brothel to brothel in Graz, Austria to watch him dance with girls for a few seconds before running to the next brothel… just to make sure he didn’t get left behind by the bus.

- Not joining Hatebreed in a backstage jacuzzi full of actual erotic dancers. - 30 Seconds to Mars telling us we were “pretty heavy” when we shared a venue in Minneapolis. - Moshing in a Drum’n’Bass tent at a Euro festival with a not-to-be-identified NYHC band who were skying way high on ecstasy. = Learning so many important lessons the hard way while making all of my closest friends cuz… hardcore. Trevor$: I don’t have nearly as many globe-trotting adventures as Dan, but some of my favorite moments with my friends happened on tour. - Spending two full days at a Fazoli’s (the only kind-of vegan option in the city) in Grand Island, Nebraska on our first tour because the transmission went out 13 hours after we bought the van. - Directions to a venue that were “Turn left at the women’s prison, and drive to the end of the road. It’s in the junkyard.” Once inside the junkyard, getting the instructions “Stay away from the fences. That’s where the ladies have ‘yard time’ and the guards in the tower get really angry when we talk to them.” - Air guitar and autographs with a drunk guy named “Deth” in Tijuana. - Almost having to fight a promoter in New Mexico because he accused us of stealing a microphone, only to find out ten minutes after leaving that Bill accidentally put it in the pocket of his cargo shorts and forgot. - Swimming too far out in the Florida ocean and getting stopped by the beach patrol just before the shelf drops off and all the bull sharks hang out. - Going on tour without confirming anything, then having to beg every promoter to let us play when we showed up. - Trying to pretend there wasn’t a fight happening in the crowd until Jake pushed his drums out of the way to jump in at every single out-of-state show Tamerlane ever played. So what we're saying here is, once this plague blows off, GET IN THE FUCKIN VAN CUZ LIFE IS SHORT AND YOU SHOULD LIVE IT!

Until next time, this is Milk Money saying, “Tamerlane is not the Five Finger Death Punch of Salt Lake Hardcore."
