Wumpees-R-Us VS Whumpee Barn: Naming My Boyz!

Sorry for the delay! Holidays came around and my brain decided to say, “Nope!”. Brain is back online now! (Hopefully). This is a continuation of a YouTube series that was inspired by @shameless-whumper‘s Unboxing and @my-whumpy-little-heart’s Defective. 

TW: Dehumanization, modern slavery, implied physical abuse.

Video One: First Impressions

The camera turns on, showing Starr in her studio with the usual white backdrop, chair, and table. 

“Hey guys! It’s Starr here, and welcome back to This-Or-That! Today we’re revealing the names of my Box Boys, and I’m so excited to introduce them to you!!!” She smiles widely, flipping her blue hair over her shoulder. 

“So, last video we did the unboxing, if you missed that, click the link in the description and check it out! That video was pretty sweet, but I thought I’d give you a few more clips so you could see how the rest of the unboxing went!” 

She winks, and the camera changes back to the full-studio view, with the two boxes on the ground, and the two boys sitting inside them. It moves to a time-lapse, with Starr walking around, helping the W-R-Us boy up, and untying him. Then the time lapse slows, and the camera moves to a view of just Starr and the redhead. 

“Okay, so one thing that I love about W-R-Us boys are all the positions they come with! I didn’t order any extra positions, just decided to go with the base 25. So let’s test some out!” She moves around the redhead, ruffling his hair a bit. He stood with his arms to his sides, shoulders a bit tense and hesitant. 

“Okayyyyy. Position two?” She looks up from the manual, over to the boy. The boy sinks down to his knees, looking at his hands in his lap. 

“Well done! Okay. Position six?” The boy raises on his knees, fore-arms extended and wrists up. 

“Position seven.” The boy stands up, keeping his hands outstretched, ready for them to be tied, hit, or have something placed on them. 

Starr puts the manual down and hugs the boy from behind. A flash of panic crosses his face before he realizes whats going on, at which point he shifts his weight awkwardly. He doesn’t move from the position, but as Starr comes around to the front and looks at him, he gives her a hesitant, shaky smile. 

Starr gives him a big kiss on the cheek with a mwuah sound, then stands back. “Okay, position two for now. But don’t think I’m done with you!” 

The boy sinks back down to his knees, and the camera focuses in on his face for a bit, showing hesitant, nervous eyes. 

The camera goes into a time lapse again, and shows Starr walking around to the Whumpee Barn boy, trying to do the same thing. Help him up, start untying him. She reaches down, and you can see the boy resisting a bit. Flinching at her touch, pulling away when she tries to help him up, 

It goes on throughout the time-lapse, with the boy pulling away at every opportunity. As soon as she unties his hands, he pulls away from her, wrapping his arms around his abdomen and glaring at the camera, and Starr. The time-lapse stops, and it moves to a view of only Starr and the WB box boy. 

Starr tilts her head at the boy, raising an eyebrow. “Bit jumpy, aren’t you?” She turns to the camera, smiling. “So, the WB manual didn’t come with nearly as many positions. Just a basic five. That was a bit of a disappointment, but the manual says it’s easy to train new positions. Hey, you think I could teach him to hold a camera?” She winks, then turns to the boy. 

“Okay, position one.” 

The boy doesn’t move, staring at Starr with guarded eyes. His eyes flick to the camera, then back on Starr, arms still wrapped around his torso protectively. 

“I said, position one.” Starr says it a bit colder, raising an eyebrow at the camera. At the change in tone, the boy slowly and carefully drops to his knees, planting his butt on his feet and putting a hand on each leg. 

“There we go! So, position one for WB is like position two for W-R-Us.” The camera flips over to the redhead, barely focusing before turning back to the Whumpee Barn boy. 

“Position two.” The boy doesn’t move again, until he looks up and Starr raises an eyebrow. Then he slowly moves to his hands and knees, with a straight back. 

The camera speeds through the last three positions, showing small clips of each one. Starr evidently got bored going through them one by one. In the time-lapse, the boy always hesitates before going into position. It takes much longer than the W-R-Us, but eventually she has him go back to position one, hands on his knees. 

The camera zooms back out, and Starr walks to the middle, sitting down with a kneeling box boy on either side. The redhead’s head is down, focusing on the ground. The blue-eyed boy is still glaring at the camera, his cheeks a bit red. 

The camera cuts back to Starr in the studio, smiling at the “video” thumbnail that’s hovering to her left. 

“So, that was the unboxing! After that I started giving them the tour, and doing introductions!” The camera widens out, to show the redhead on her right, and the blue-eyed boy on her left, both in one of her T-shirts. The redhead waves and smiles hesitantly, but the blue-eyed boy doesn’t move until there’s a small movement under the table, and he flinches slightly. Then he waves, a quick hand up, not looking at the camera. 

“I want to thank everyone who sent in their suggestions for names, guys! And even if you didn’t, you know I love you! We got a pretty good list, so we’re going to go one at a time.” She scoots her chair closer to the Whumpee Barn boy, and pulls out a sheet of paper. 

“My boy from WB won the coin toss, so we’re announcing his name first!” She grins excitedly, putting an arm around his shoulder and smiling at him. He looks away from her, head turned and eyes angry. 

Starr leans a bit closer and stage whispers “Your line.” The boy rolls his eyes and turns his head forward, still not looking at the camera. He pulls out a sheet of paper, and starts reading. 

“We got a lot of names. Here’s the list of her favorites.” His voice comes out flat, and a bit lower than expected. Star leans toward the camera conspiratorially. 

“Our favorites.”

“Callum, Tyler, Axel, Wiley, Ethan and Garret.” He folds the paper up and puts it in his pocket, still glaring at the table. 

“Okay, now go ahead and announce which one was the winner.” Starr puts a hand on the table and leans on it, winking at the camera. The boy’s head whips up and looks at her accusingly. 

“You said you were going to do that.” 

“Oh, but this is a surprise! It’s a once in a lifetime chance to be able to tell the world who you are!” Starr leans back, smiling with bright eyes. 

He makes a face and pulls his head back. “You said I’d just have to read the list, I read the list. I’m done. You do your... video, or whatever.” 

Starr sighs, and the camera cuts to a new angle. The WB boy is still staring at the table, but his cheek is red and a bit wet. He gives Starr a sideways glance, then looks back at the table. 

His voice is lower, almost a mumble. “My favorite was Axel, but the winning name was Tyler.” 

Starr pulls back from where she’s leaning on the table, and smiles at the camera. “Everyone, say hello to Tyler!! And a very special thanks to @comfortforthepain for suggesting it!” She ruffles his hair, ignoring the disgusted look Tyler gives her. Then she scoots her chair over to the redhead, having the camera follow her. 

She puts an elbow on the redhead’s shoulder and tilts her head at him. “So, what about you? You ready to announce your new name?” 

The redhead looks at Starr and nods shyly, keeping his hands in his lap. He looks to the camera, the corner of his mouth tilting up in a tiny smile. 

“Um, we uh, there was a list, but uh, I uh, had a different idea...” He looks at Starr and she nods him on, smiling reassuringly. “So uh, I’m going to uh, read the list first off.” He pulls a small folded piece of paper. 

“So uh, the list that uh, we got... It was uh, Jorden, Henley, Jonny, Louis and Shiloh.” He’s sitting pretty tense, shoulders hunched. 

He glances back over to Starr, who nods again. 

“Go ahead. It’s your name, isn’t it?” She smiles at him, then the camera, wrapping an arm around him. 

He nods a bit, like he’s telling himself that. “But uh, I uh, I thought that uh.... well, I uh...” He glances at Starr again, then back at the camera. “I had an idea... and Starr was okay with it... so uh... Hi everyone? I’m uh, I’m Skyler.” 

Starr had a big smile on her face and squeezed Skyler as he finished up. He gives her a tentative smile. 

“Isn’t he the sweetest? So there’s the names!” The camera zooms back out, showing everyone’s faces. Tyler is still staring at the table, his cheek not as red anymore.

“Skyler and Tyler. Thank you everyone who sent in names, you really helped inspire me and give me a feel for what they should be called! I’ll post the rules of how this comparison is going to work in my next video, but for now, lemme know what you want to see them do! Any challenges, or get-to-know-you’s, leave a comment below and we’ll see if your idea gets picked!” 

Starr smiles, wrapping her arms around both of the boys and bringing them closer, one arm around each of their necks. Tyler has a scowl on his face, and looks very uncomfortable. Skyler is still smiling hesitantly, looking at the camera. 

“As always, don’t forget to like and subscribe, and ring the bell so you’re notified when my new videos are coming out! We’ll see you next time on This-” she squeezes Skyler’s neck gently, “Or-That!” She squeezes Tyler’s neck, maybe not-so-gently. He grimaces, and the picture freezes.

 Starr in the middle, smiling widely at the camera, Skyler to her right, the corner of his mouth curving up, and Tyler on the left, curling his lip slightly as he stairs at the table. 

The words Meet the ‘Yler’s! pop up over it, and then the video ends. 

Next one here.

Whumpee’s-R-Us VS Whumpee Barn: First Impressions

So, this post was inspired by @shameless-whumper‘s Unboxing and @my-whumpy-little-heart’s Defective. We always hear about the rivalry between Whumpee’s-R-Us and Whumpee Barn, but why not end the argument once and for all? 

TW: Dehumanization, mild physical abuse.

“Hey guys, welcome back!” A blue head of hair pops up on-screen, smiling at the camera. “It’s Starr here, from This-Or-That, where we compare to see what really works!” The camera cuts to another angle, highlighting her short haircut.  “Sooooo, over the past couple weeks, we’ve had a new trend take the internet by STORM. Box Boys!!” A couple pictures of advertised Box Boys show up to the left of her face as she holds up her hand, pre-choreographed to look like she’s holding them. “Yep! These little cuties have been all over the place, so naturally I was dying to do a video about them!” 

“However, you know me and you guys know I can’t do something without comparing to see what’s good, and what’s better!” The camera angle changes again, this time showing her as she sits at her desk, talking with her hands. “So here’s the dealio guys. I talked with Whumpee’s-R-Us and Whumpee Barn, the two main companies that I’ve heard about. They were both super helpful and they each agreed to send me one, so I could take it to the test, and see whose product was actually better!” 

Starr leans in, cupping a hand to her mouth like she’s telling a secret. “Don’t tell them, but I think they both just wanted to show each other up.” She laughs, and pulls away. “So, I’m way excited for this, so let’s get right into the video! But before we do, don’t forget to like and subscribe, and hit the little bell so you get notified on all my updates!” She winks, and then the camera changes again. 

The camera switches to a full-studio view, showing the white backdrop and a couple of shelves. In the center of the camera is a bar-stool, and sitting to either side are two big boxes. Starr walks on camera from the left, and sits down on the bar stool smiling. 

“So guys, I know you’re all so excited to get to the unboxing, I know I can’t wait! Unfortunately, you guys know the drill.” She looks to the left and the camera slides to a familiar thumbnail, with the words Website and Customer Service Review on a blue speckled background. Her fingers come from the right, pushing that away and revealing a close up of her on the camera. 

“So, first impressions of each website." The camera shows the Whumpee's-R-Us website as it scrolls down the page. "Whumpee's-R-Us had a really great layout, it was easy to find everything I wanted, and their customer service was eager to answer any questions I had. Their website was also really modern, with tons of examples of Box Boys."

The view switches to the Whumpee Barn website. "Whumpee Barn's website was a bit harder to look through, and there definitely weren't as many options. The website had a more rural look to it, a bit more rustic. But I guess that's what you get when barn is part of the title, eh?" She laughs, then continues.

"I ended up going random for both my boys, there were just so many options!" The camera switches back to Starr, smiling into the center. "But back to business. For websites, I give Whumpee's-R-Us a 5-Starr rating, because of the clean, sleek look, and it was really easy to navigate." A small counter pops up on the bottom of the screen, with five little pictures of her face, all of them colored in. 

"I'm giving Whumpee Barn a 4-Starr rating. It was really good, but it could be a bit more up-to-date on the current styles and trends.” She flips her hair, revealing a purple layer underneath the blue. “Okay! Now it’s time to start on the unboxing, which I’m excited for, and I know all of you are too!!” 

The camera cuts to a full-room view again, with Starr standing between the two boxes. She waves. “So we’re about to open the boxes, and I couldn’t decide which one to open first, so I flipped a coin and we’re opening the W-R-Us first!” She claps her hands, and walks around one of the boxes, labeled Whumpees-R-Us. She grabs some scissors and starts opening the box, grabbing the instructions. 

“Okay guys, here are the instructions for the W-R-Us Box Boy. It says to start with water, and then...” She squints. “Percussive impact with the palm or back of hand.” She smiles at the camera and shrugs. “I’m sure we’ll figure it out!” 

She removes the rest of the packing, then shoots the camera a big smile and it zooms in. “Guys!!! Look at him! He’s so cute!!!” She pulls up a thin, pale and blindfolded boy, dotted with freckles and with a mess of bright red hair. She grabs a water bottle and undoes it, gently holding it up to his lips. “Hydrate him, remember? Probably hasn’t had any water for a while.” 

The boy barely reacts to being pulled up, but as the water is put to his lips, he starts drinking. Quickly, like it was going to be taken away. Starr lets him drink as much as he wants, until the bottle runs dry. She turns to the camera with wide eyes. “Wow! Sure was thirsty! Okay! Onto step two. Percussive Impact.” 

She gently taps his cheek with her hand, increasing the pressure as he doesn’t respond. She looks towards the camera and shrugs, then slaps his cheek, making his head turn from the impact. After the slap, his head turns back towards Starr hesitantly, as if looking for her. 

Starr smiles, then takes off his blindfold revealing bright green eyes. They look wildly around the room, trying to take it all in. She squeals a bit. “Awwwww.... He’s even cuter!!” She takes his face in her hands, smiling up at him. “Aren’t you the cutest thing ever?” His eyes go to her, and the corner of his mouth twitches up in a hesitant, almost smile. 

Starr drops his face, leaving him in the box as she stands up and goes over to the Whumpee Barn box. “Okay! So we’ve done one, and he’s adorable, let’s see how the other one compares!” She smiles widely, walking to the other box and starting to open it up.  

She pauses as she brings up these instructions, on a booklet. “Wow! This is quite the user manual! W-R-Us had one of those too, but it wasn’t as big.” She starts flipping through it. “Hmm... User warranty, disclaimer, etc and legal stuff... Ooo! Found it! Opening the product. Step one: Remove packaging from Product.” She takes off the top layer of bubble wrap, revealing the back of someone kneeling in the box.

“Step two. Use collar to bring product to kneeling position. Hmm, this is new, the W-R-Us one didn’t come with a collar, they just came with a blindfold.” She shrugs, grinning at the camera and grabs the collar around the boy’s neck, yanking him up. The boy flinches at her touch, but comes up, kneeling upright and breathing heavily. 

“Oooo! He’s a cutie too!” She turns his head towards the camera, showing off an olive toned skin, with brown wavy hair. His jaw is clenched, and the blindfold doesn’t conceal a frown on his face. 

“Next they say to give him water too, so here goes!” She holds the water to his lips and he pulls back at first, then realizes what it is and starts drinking. His lips are slightly chapped. 

“Okay! Now we can take the blindfold off so here goes. Let’s see how this guy compares to the other!” Starr reaches for the blindfold, untying it and not being too gentle. The blindfold comes off, and she turns his face towards the camera. Blue eyes stare back, eyebrows furrowed and a glare on his face. Starr doesn’t seem to notice, turning his face back to her.

“Another cutie!!! Honestly guys, I’ve got the real haul right here!” She stands up, looking between the two boys sitting in the boxes. “I’m gonna cut to review, and we’ll do the rest of the unboxing in another video!” She waves, and the camera cuts to her, sitting at the desk again. 

She snaps her fingers, and a tally board comes up on-screen, with two sections. One with W-R-Us and one with W-Barn. 

“Soooo, First-Impressions-Tally! You all know how this works! Since this is a multi-video review, we’ll keep track of the tally’s and the one with the most at the end is the winner! This test will go on for three months, so I’ll try to give them out sparingly.” She winks into the camera, referencing her love of showering the coveted “tally-marks” in previous videos. 

“So, right off the bat I noticed that both W-R-Us and W-Barn tried to keep quality high, and sent adorable boys. That gets them both a tally mark.” A line appears in each box, and a picture of both of the boys pops up. The redhead, looking into the camera with hunched shoulders and a bit of a hesitant look, and the blue-eyed boy, sitting up straight and glaring into the camera. The pictures shrink and move to the bottom right of the screen. 

“However, I did notice that the W-Barn Box Boy is going to need a bit more training. I definitely did not like the way he was looking at me. So that’ll give one tally to W-R-Us." The tally appears in the corner, in a little sparkle of glitter. 

Starr flips her hair, showing the purple underneath. “That’s about it for the initial review, I’ll be uploading more content and reviews soon, so make sure to hit the notifications bell if you want to see more W-R-Us vs W-Barn!” 

She leans back, and the two pictures of the box boys come back up, filling the screen. 

“I’m so excited to finally have my box boys, but I’m so sure it’ll be totally worth the wait! This video is getting a bit on the long side, but I’m just dying to know! What do you think I should name them? I’ve got two, and I wanna hear all your suggestions! So, leave a comment in the comment section down below, and I’ll announce names in my next video!” 

The pictures disappear, and the camera focuses back in on her face. “As always, this isn’t possible without you guys and I love you all to bits! Don’t forget to like and subscribe, and click to get notified of all my new uploads! We’ll see you next time, on This Or That!” 

Next one here.

Whumpees-R-Us VS Whumpee Barn: Guidelines and A SURPRISE???

Whew! After a couple weeks I finally got enough coherency to write another episode. Special thanks to @nowhumponmain for the brainstorming session!  

TW: Dehumanization, Mention of slavery, Implied abuse.

First one here, Continued from here.

Starr smiled as the camera turned on, waving and flipping her blue and green hair over, revealing the green underneath. “Hey everyone! Welcome back to This-Or-That, where we compare to see what really works!”

The camera zoomed out to show Starr in the studio, with the two boys on the same sides of her. Skyler on the right, Tyler on the left. They both had a piece of paper in their hands, with the faint hint of writing on it. Skyler’s was a bit creased and bent in places, and he looked at it with a bit of pride. Tyler’s was like it had just been printed, and he was glaring at it. 

“Sooooo, we’re continuing with my box boys, comparing between them, but today we’re going to go through the rules and the way we’re gonna be rating these boys! And then we have a surprise for the two of them!” She smiles widely again, with a small sparkle off her teeth, obviously edited in. As she smiles, she grabs the boys around their necks, bringing them in and squeezing in a hug. 

Tyler looks very uncomfortable, and stares daggers into the table. Skyler leaned into it, like he knew it was going to happen. Starr started talking again, still with an arm around each. “But before we get into the video, don’t forget to Like, Subscribe and hit the bell so you get allll my new videos!” 

The entry title plays, with different objects like make-up and kitchen supplies floating around each other, then one knocks the other off the screen. It happens for about 10 seconds, and the last two pictures were a cartoon version of Skyler and Tyler’s faces. They swirl around each other, then collide in an explosion of stars, and the logo appears. 

The camera cuts back to Starr, in the original set-up in the middle of the table. She had her iconic smile on her face. “So, like I said we’re reading over the guidelines and rules, just so my boys and you can know what to expect! Then we’ll give our boys the surprise!” She picked up a piece of paper in front of her, winking at the camera again. 

She clears her throat comically, then reads out the title, “Guidelines and Criteria for Rating.” Then she smiles at the camera, looking over to Skyler. 

He raises his head as she looks over to him, eyes wide and looking for approval. Then he looked at the camera, smiling shyly and waving, before looking down at the paper. “Um, Number one. The testing will go on for two point nine nine months.” He looked back up to Starr, but she was already facing the camera again. 

“Sooo, for the next almost-three months, you’re gonna be seeing a lot of my boys! This rating will go until the end of June, the 25th!” She smiled, then looked towards Tyler. 

He didn’t react, except for a sideways glance and a heavy sigh. His voice was flat and it sounded like he wanted to be done with this. “Number two, the..., “ he pulled a face, “’Yler’s.... will compete in challenges to earn... Starrs.” He pulled the face again, then glared down at the table. 

She smirks slightly, then turns to the camera and smiles again. “That’s right! We’re gonna have them competing against each other in anything you guys want to see! Cooking, reading, cleaning, send me your ideas!!” She winks, then picks up her own paper. 

“Number three. After the aforementioned period of time concludes, the box boy with the highest number of Starrs will be deemed my official box boy, and the one with the lowest will be sent back.” She smiled broadly and put the paper down. 

“So, I thought that was pretty clear, but just to elaborate, both Whumpee Barn and W-R-Us have a 3 month return policy. So, I figured, set the challenge for a couple months, and the one I don’t like, I’ll send back. I’m sure it’ll be sad to see either of them go, but it’ll be for the best in the long run.” She smiles again, oblivious to the boys reactions. 

Starr obviously hadn’t told either of them about this. As Starr read it out, they both reacted, but in very different ways. Tyler’s eyes narrowed, and his grip on the paper got a little tighter, a little tenser, until he started crumpling it in his hands. 

Skyler immediately looked towards Starr, the worry and fear blatant in his eyes. His entire body got tense, and his hands started trembling, just slightly as he quickly looked down and re-read the paper, starting to fold it up and unfold it. His eyes grow slightly wet, but he blinks a lot and it disappears. 

Starr leans back, smiling at the camera some more. “BUT, we don’t need to worry about that now, so let’s get into the next part of our video, the surprise for Skyler and Tyler!” She smiles widely, looking at each of them, still completely oblivious to their reactions. Starr looks back to the camera, winking, and the camera changes. 

*****************************************************************

It starts up again in a different room, with a big mirror, counter, and two stools set up in front of said mirror and counter. Skyler and Tyler sit on the stools as Starr sits on the counter between them. 

“Sooooo, today we’re gonna do the first challenge! I’m so excited to do this one, cause it’s way important, especially whenever you’re filming, which I always am!” She ruffles both of their hair, and Skyler leans in, but Tyler pulls away, hating the touch. She brings her hands down. 

“So.... here’s the deal. I’m gonna turn these two boys around and close their eyes, and put something in front of em. When they open their eyes they have 5 minutes on the clock to do whatever they can with it, and then we say time and we rate em! How does that sound, boys?” She had a huge, cheesy smile and looked between the two. 

Skyler looked at her hesitantly, with a small smile on his face. “It uh... it sounds good?” 

Tyler grumbled and looked away, a scowl permanently on his face. Starr leaned into Tyler, putting her ear by his mouth. “What was that? Couldn’t hear you.” 

Tyler looked up at her angrily, and then the camera switched again, to a close-up angle of a black and white screenshot of Starr and Tyler. It started zooming in with sad music playing in the background, and a deep announcer voice comes on, “A few moments later...” 

The camera goes back, Tyler again with wet eyes, and shoulders hunched. Skyler was looking slightly away, to the left. Starr had an arm wrapped around Tyler, a grin on her face. “So, Tyler. How does that sound?” She looks at him, and he stiffens, just slightly. 

He doesn’t look at the camera or at Starr. “....sounds good.” His voice is hard, and it barely picks up. As soon as he says it, Starr lets him go and goes back to the middle, smiling at the camera again. 

“Okay! Now boys, turn around.” She watches them obey and face the mirror. “Now close your eyes... We want this to be a surprise after all, hm?” She winks at the camera comically, sneaking off-screen. She comes back with two boxes, about inches on each side. 

Starr sneaks up to the camera where it can’t quite focus well, peeking it open to reveal a palette of eyeshadow on the top layer. She draws back, closing it and snickering silently, winking at the camera. 

She sets one in front of Tyler, and one in front of Skyler. Then the camera view switches to one that was obviously in the mirror, with a side-by-side view of Skyler and Tyler’s faces. 

Starr smiles at the camera as she goes back to her spot, and pulls up another bench behind both of them. She grabs a comically large button, setting it in her lap. “Alright boys... let the first challenge.... Begin!” She hits the large button, and a timer appears on the screen, starting to count down from 5 minutes. 

The boys blink open their eyes, and look at the boxes in front of them. They have the same look on their face for a while, but as they open it their faces widely differ. 

Tyler opens his, and the first look is confusion. Then it turns to realization as he looks through the other layers, then disgust. He glances back with his eyes to Starr, pushing away the box and curling his lip slightly. He spends the next five minutes staring at the mirror, eyes running over his face and as such, the camera. 

Skyler opens his box, and like Tyler, he looks really confused. He looks back to Starr with the button, then starts taking the layers out of the box, looking through them. He looks at the make-up, then up at the mirror, then back at the make-up again. Skyler glances at Tyler, and then at Starr again, before picking up a brush and starting to hesitantly put on some of the make-up, foundation and a bit of cover-up over some of the red spots on his face. He didn’t touch any of the eye-makeup, just focused on covering slight bruises and scrapes that hadn’t shown up on the main camera. 

Five minutes go by in a time-lapse, with Tyler rolling his eyes left and right, and Skyler doing the best he could with what he had. The last few seconds come around and Starr starts counting down. 

“Five! Four! Three! Two! One! TIIIIMMEESSSS UP!” She smashes the red button and a buzzing sound sounds, and Skyler immediately turns around, eyes wide and putting down the brush. Tyler picks himself up from where he was leaning on the counter, turning around with a deadpan look. 

Starr smiles at Skyler, narrows her eyes at Tyler, and turns back to the camera. “So, I think this is an obvious win...” At the word obvious she rolls her eyes, “But usually we’ll go through a list of criteria for each challenge. Be sure to watch for that in the next video!” 

She walks over to stand by Skyler, who’s looking at her still hesitantly and with a small, proud smile. She wraps her arm around him, tilting her head. “What’d ya think guys? Skyler won this one by a landslide, and I think he looks pretty cute!!!” 

She pinches Skyler’s cheek as he leans into the half-hug, still hesitantly smiling. 

“Soooooo, One Starr for Skyler!!” A small chart shows up in the right-hand side, with Skyler’s face on one half, and Tyler’s face on the other. A picture of Starr smashes down on Skyler’s side, ‘shaking’ the screen. 

Skyler smiles at Starr, then turned away, and he sneezes from the powder around his nose. Starr laughs and looks at him like he was a cute puppy. “Isn’t he just adorable?? I say he totally earned it.” 

Skyler blushes and looks down at his hands. Starr gives him one more squeeze, then walks around to the middle of the two boys again. 

“Well, that’s the video for today!!! The winner of the first challenge was Skyler, by a landslide, so if today were the end of the challenge, Tyler would be sent back!” 

Tyler stiffens as he hears this, glancing up at Starr and setting his jaw. Starr doesn’t notice. 

“Be sure to keep an eye out for our next video, and if you have anything you want to see my boys do, be sure to leave a comment in the comments down below!! As always, don’t forget to like, subscribe and hit the notifications button!”

Starr waves, and Skyler follows suit. Tyler doesn’t move. 

“I’ll see you next time with my boys on This, “ she points to Tyler, “Or That!” She points to Skyler, winking at the camera before it fades to black.

Whumpees-R-Us VS Whumpee Barn: Tour Time!!!

Well then. This took way too long to write, and it’s not as long as I wanted, but it’s out here, right? Have at it!  

First one here, previous one here. 

The video starts with Starr’s smiling face, as usual. Skyler is sitting next to her with a piece of paper in his hands, but Tyler is nowhere to be seen. 

“Hey guys! Welcome back to This Or That, where we compare to see what really works! Today, I decided to do something just a little bit different, so we’re here with Skyler, and we’re gonna give you guys a tour of the boy’s bedroom! How cool is that!” 

Starr had a big smile, and Skyler was watching her, glancing down at his piece of paper and then back to her as she spoke. He had a small smile on his face as well.  

“Sooooo, I figured I’d just let Skyler do trial by fire, so he’s gonna take you through this himself!” 

Skyler’s smile disappeared, replaced by a nervous, scared look. Starr looks towards him and he looks back. “A-alone?” His eyes were wide, and his voice was soft. 

Starr smiles, giving him a side-hug. “Oh, don’t worry! I’m sure you’ll be fantastic. Besides, it’s just a quick jaunt into your room, you can do that, can’t you?” 

Skyler still looked nervous, but nodded. Starr smiled, then waved at the camera. “Don’t forget to comment, like and subscribe to see more videos, and here we go!” She snapped her fingers, ‘disappearing’ in an explosion of stars.

The camera cut to a somewhat shaky view of a hallway, and it turned around, to show Skyler holding it. He smiles a little. “Uh, hey... So... this is the hallway, I guess.” He turns it back around, showing a couple doors as he starts walking. 

He creaks open the first door, letting the camera look around. It’s a bathroom, a pretty big one, with a bathtub, shower and separate room for the toilet. There’s a huge vanity one one wall, and the camera pans around. “So, um, this is the bathroom, and um, I mean... It’s just... It’s a bathroom...?” There’s a small rustle of paper and a little sigh. 

“Um, this is where Sk- I help Starr get ready, with the...” His voice gets a bit reluctant. “...rad make-up skills that pay all our bills.” It was obviously scripted. 

The camera turns around shakily, and goes back out in the hall, passing another door. “Um, that’s just a closet, and uh, I don’t really have a script for that. It’s um, it’s got a couple extra blankets and cleaning supplies.” 

The camera passes the closet and shows another door at the end of the hall, focusing in on it. “This one is uh, my room...” there’s a rustle of paper and his tone changes again. “...where I sleep like a bug in a rug.” He pushes the door open, and the camera sees an open room, with a big window on the opposite wall. 

He walks in, panning around and showing it off. There’s a dresser in the corner, along with a desk and a couple of sketchbooks and pencils. The camera walks over, scanning over the desk. “I uh, I kinda like to draw, so Starr got me these notebooks and pencils. I really like em.” His voice was a bit more firm, a bit more confident. 

Skyler turns around, showing the corner where there was a big dog bed, with a bunch of pillows and blankets. “So uh, that’s my bed, where... ahem, I uh,” He groaned a little bit. Just a little. “I sleep and rest my head, when I get so weary I need my bed.” 

His arm comes in view of the camera, and picks up one of the bigger pillows. “This one’s my favorite, it’s nice and squishy. It uh, it kinda feels like a hug when you squeeze it.” 

He tosses it back down, and the camera starts walking out. “I’m uh, supposed to ask you guys if you want to see some of my drawings... I don’t think they’re very good, but Starr likes em. So uh, like and share? And comment if you want to uh, want to see my drawings.” 

The camera goes back into the hall, going to the last door, across from Skyler’s. 

“This uh, this one’s Tyler’s room... He shouldn’t um, he shouldn’t be in here right now.” The camera shows Skyler’s hand opening the door, and there’s a glimpse of Tyler in his room, and then the camera shoots down to the ground, and a muffled conversation ensues. 

Tyler’s voice comes out. “What are you doing in my room?” 

“Starr wanted me to shoot a video. It’s like, a tour thing.”

“What? She didn’t tell me she was shooting today.” 

“It’s uh, not her, it’s uh, it’s me...” 

“Well do it somewhere else, or just cut the camera and come back when I’m not here.” 

Skyler’s voice gets nervous. “She uh, wanted it in one take.” 

There’s a groan from the room. “Well, too bad for her then, get out of my room.” 

Skyler’s voice gets quieter, almost undetectable to the camera. “You shouldn’t shsi sahd hshh shsh sh, she’s been really nice.” 

Tyler’s voice drops to match it. “You call this nice? You don’t shs sshhs anymore than I do.” 

“I actually do, and shshsh, shshsh shshhhs lucky to have her.” 

Skyler’s voice gets louder, back to normal. “Look, can I just do a quick run through? The camera’s still going and I have some lines I have to say.” 

There’s another groan, and then footsteps, and the camera jostles around. It goes back up to Skyler’s face, in a small smile. “Sorry for that... Tyler doesn’t like being surprised. But uh, like I said, this is Tyler’s room, and uh yeah, here it is I guess...” 

The camera turned, showing off Tyler’s room. It was set up similar to Skyler’s, but the dog bed didn’t have anything extra except a blanket. The desk was empty, and there were clothes piling out of the dresser and hanging on the drawers. 

“It’s uh, a bit messy in here... Sorry about that...” There’s a little rustle of paper. 

“This is where Tyler, the tough one will dream....” he trails off, and the awkwardness is almost palpable through the camera. “... of videos and punching, his way through the screen....” there’s a little pause. 

“I uh, I dunno why she wrote that... Tyler’s really nice, and so is Starr... And pets aren’t supposed to fight like that anyway, so it must just be Starr’s sense of humor.” The camera turns around, starting to walk out and back down the hallway. The camera flips back around to Skyler’s hesitant smile, and his mop of crazy red hair.

“To be honest guys, I really like it here... Sometimes I don’t understand stuff, but Starr is really nice, and she’s really patient and stuff too. I uh... I can’t say anything about Tyler, but he’s pretty nice too... Although sometimes he uh, he doesn’t like talking. It’s uh, probably just his different training. I uh, I wasn’t used to talking, but uh, Starr likes it, so I guess I’m talking more now?” 

He walks back in the studio, and sets the camera up on the stand, backing up and sitting down. 

“So uh, that was the tour? I hope you guys uh, liked it.” He smiles a bit, then glances down at the paper again. “And uh, don’t forget to like and uh, subscribe. And comment below with whatever you want to see me and Tyler do...” 

He looks back up, the corner of his mouth just curving up in a smile. “Um.. Bye?” He stands up, walking back to the camera and fiddling with it, then it turns off. 

On the black screen, some text pops up. Isn’t he ADORBS?!?!?!?! Totally do what he said, and share with your friends! See ya next time guys!

Then the video ends. 

Next one here. 

Great peoples who apparently like my writing?
