A SEALED FATE: EMERALDS AND BLOOD - IX You Are Mine

masterlist

e&b masterlist

Notes: Hope this chapter is alright, idk what was wrong with me but every time i tried to revise it i just didnt have the patience.

Two weeks passed since the tragic demise of Lady Rosalyn Pyke. Her identity was revealed to you after her brother, Lord Pyke, openly confronted the King, holding him accountable for his sister's untimely death within the castle walls.

Refusing to tolerate Lord Pyke's grief-fueled behavior, the King swiftly condemned him to hang the following day. The execution unfolded in front of a crowd, conducted in the dead gardens adjacent to the south wing. Attendance was mandatory, even for the servants.

Fortunately, you found yourself positioned at the rear of the crowd alongside the other maids, shielding you from a full view of the grim spectacle. Despite this, the haunting sound of Lord Pyke's neck snapping upon the kick of the stool resonated in your memory, lingering for the past two weeks.

Life within the castle now carried an air of unease. The elusive murderer remained at large, casting a shadow of fear over everyone. Guards loomed at every turn, their presence unbearable, while the departure of most of the castle's guests left behind an eerie quiet. Even the yule celebration had been canceled.

Although Namjoon had cleared you and Rae of any suspicion, the lingering gaze of the castle's guards continued to prick at your nerves. The constant scrutiny left you on edge, acutely aware that any misstep would not go unnoticed.

Sanria had yet to resume her duties as head maid, leaving Isabella to assume the position in her absence. Despite the recent problems in the castle, her gentle demeanor remained unchanged, her cheerful spirit a constant and welcoming presence. She evaded questions regarding Sanria and after the first week, the topic was forgotten.

Rae, noticeably withdrawn, seemed haunted by the events she had witnessed. You couldn't help but speculate if her quiet attitude also stemmed from the uncertainty surrounding her superior's fate and the lack of communication regarding it, given her direct role as Sanria's subordinate. 

Observing Alice's persistent efforts to uplift Rae's spirits, it became increasingly evident to you that their bond was more than a mere friendship. It was evident in the tender gestures they shared, from intertwined hands to soft kisses planted on each other's cheeks. It made you glad that the solemn redhead had a person who she was close with during such a stressful time.

Winter raged beyond the castle's sturdy walls, only growing colder in the  aftermath of Lady Pyke's tragic demise. A mere week following the murder, the first heavy snow fell, blanketing the landscape in pristine white. It was during one of your routine walks down the hall, burdened with a weighty bucket of water, that you stole a fleeting glance out the window. You had caught sight of Jimin and Taehyung frolicking in the snow-covered fields.

Their carefree actions amidst the grim investigation of Pyke’s murder left you wondering. How could they remain so seemingly unaffected by the brutality that had unfolded? Yet, they were not the sole members of royalty to exhibit such nonchalance. One chilly morning, you stumbled upon Prince Seokjin engaging in precisely the behavior Isabella had cautioned you about.

The strikingly handsome prince leaned casually against the wall, his trousers undone and hanging loosely. His hands were entwined in the brown locks of a woman kneeling before him, mercifully obscuring the most inappropriate aspects of his exposed lower half.

It wasn't Lady Woong. You found yourself frozen in shock, cheeks flushed and mouth agape as Seokjin's gaze locked with yours, a sly smirk playing on his lips. Summoning what composure you could muster, you offered a hasty and apologetic bow, scrambling to excuse yourself from the unexpected and scandalous scene.

He had the audacity to request a towel while his fingers remained entangled in the woman's hair. Despite the shock and discomfort, you complied, unwilling to burden Rae with such a task as she grappled with the aftermath of the murder.

As you handed him the towel, your fingers brushed against his, sparking an unfamiliar sensation within you. It was like an unquenchable thirst. After being excused by Seokjin, you hurried away and hid in the servants' kitchen. There, you hastily downed four tall cups of water. Yet the dryness in your mouth persisted for hours afterwards. You were certain that on that day you had drank enough water to create a new river, as thick and deep as the one that surrounded the castle.

You had pondered whether the feeling stemmed from the effects of the stress that you had felt since Lady Pyke's death, along with the uncertainty of where you stood with Hoseok. You had pushed the thought aside, preoccupied with the myriad of tasks that consumed your days, as you were now confined to the southern wing.

Shortly thereafter, a clumsy mishap with cleaning supplies in front of Namjoon resulted in your prompt dismissal to your chambers with directions to "practice holding things properly." As he strode away, a melody unfamiliar to your ears escaped his lips, echoing down the hallway.

Encountering Namjoon had evoked a strange sense of reassurance, despite the unyielding firmness of his features when he looked down at you. It was then that you finally attributed the odd sensations to the tumultuous events since your arrival at the castle, recognizing that your mind was not quite settled amidst the chaos.

Fortunately, encounters with other princes had been limited to Namjoon and Seokjin. The mere thought of crossing paths with Hoseok again ignited a deep uneasiness that caused a cold sweat to form on your skin. The persistent uncertainty surrounding his intentions was tiring, sapping your energy with each passing moment.

While Isabella had hinted at Hoseok's kindness among the princes, you remained cautious. His perceived kindness did not render him safe; the potential to provoke his anger lingered ominously, something you were determined to avoid at all costs.

What did he seek from you, anyway? A night in his bed? A plaything for his amusement? His interest in you left you confused and uncomfortable. What quality or trait could possibly compel him to bother you? There were plenty of other Ladies of the court who constantly sought his attention.

At the ball, Hoseok's order to accompany him elsewhere was interrupted by Jimin, a moment that reminded you of Kassie's tragic fate—deceived, impregnated, and ultimately abandoned in the dungeons. Would you too be ensnared in a similar web of deceit, or would your fate unfold in a more unpleasant manner, given Hoseok's princely status?

Exhaling a frustrated sigh, you shook off the disturbing thoughts, pulling yourself from the comfort of your warm blanket. The subtle movements of the other maids signaled the beginning of another day. It was time to get up and get to work. There was no point in attempting to stay in bed for any longer.

As you stretched, the satisfying release of a few joints echoed in the quiet room, accompanied by a soft groan of relief. Swinging your legs over the edge of the bed, a shiver coursed through you as the chilly floor met your bare feet. Glancing toward Rae's bed, you spotted a tuft of her red hair peeking out from underneath her blanket.

Rae typically took the lead in rousing the other maids, ensuring punctuality to avoid any repercussions for tardiness. However, thanks to her change in behavior, you had begun to take on the responsibility of waking her first, a gesture you knew she would appreciate.

"Time to rise and shine," you murmured softly, nudging her gently beneath the covers. As she reluctantly emerged from her slumber, wrinkling her nose in annoyance, you couldn't help but chuckle at her sleepy protest. With a swift motion, you pulled the blanket away, revealing her disheveled appearance as she groaned and sought refuge under the covers once more.

Rolling your eyes at her antics, you decided to tease her a bit. "You know," you began, feigning nonchalance as you stepped back, "I heard a rumor that Sanria will be making her grand return today. Could that be her?" A mischievous grin tugged at your lips as you watched Rae's reaction unfold.

Suddenly alert, Rae looked around the room with bleary, confused eyes. "What?" she exclaimed, her voice still rough with sleep. "Where? When? What's happening?" Her rapid-fire questions echoed through the room as she searched frantically for any signs of Sanria's impending arrival.

A soft laugh escaped your lips as you retrieved your uniform from its place on the wall. "Seems like you're finally joining the land of the living," you teased gently, sliding out of your nightgown. "Time to shake off the sleepiness and get ready for the day."

Rae shot you a playful glare once she realized your ruse, pushing the thin blanket away before unsteadily rising to her feet. "That was uncalled for," she grumbled half-heartedly, her irritation tempered by a hint of amusement.

"Better to be safe than sorry, right?" you countered with a grin, slipping into your uniform as Rae began to dress herself. With practiced efficiency, you both set about the task of rousing the remaining maids who had yet to stir from their slumber.

This routine was becoming a familiar one, save for the playful jokes about Sanria's return. You would awaken early to think about life, then ensure Rae was up before attending to your own morning routine. Occasionally, there would be time for a quick breakfast before commencing your daily duties.

The next phase of your routine involved meeting Isabella in the supply room. There, you'd receive your daily tasks, complete about half of them before breaking for a modest lunch, then finish the remainder before returning to your chambers to change into your leisure uniform so that you could enjoy dinner.

It was a straightforward regimen, admittedly dull. But in the castle, dullness was preferable to danger, and you found solace in its simplicity.

Today would be like any other day, no doubt. Skipping breakfast, you headed straight to Isabella, greeted by her customary friendly smile. She handed you a large list of tasks. Cleaning half of the south wing would make up the first portion of your day.

Loading up your cart, you set off silently toward the south wing. Conversation with Rae seemed futile; any attempt would likely draw unwanted attention from the arrogant guards, a hassle you preferred to avoid.

The sun seemed to ascend with unusual haste as you trudged down the hushed hallway. Its gentle warmth permeated the cold hall. Bathed in its golden glow, you found a fleeting sense of calm. It was as though the sun was chasing away any lingering nightmares that wandered the halls.

Silent maids darted about, engrossed in their own tasks yet casting furtive glances over their shoulders, their demeanor reminiscent of the day you first arrived at the castle. Such fearful silence had become a familiar backdrop, one you had grown accustomed to over time.

Upon entering the south wing, Rae consulted the list. “We should begin in the library.” She said quietly, her near-whisper almost sounding too loud. Nodding in agreement, you gestured toward a pair of large double doors at the end of the first-floor corridor.

"I'll handle the doors," you murmured quietly, approaching them. You pushed against them, wanting to groan at the weight that protested against you. They had to be the heaviest of all the doors in the entire castle.

With a determined effort, the heavy doors yielded, revealing a breathtaking sight within. The spacious room was bathed in hues of blue and gold, the high bookshelves adorning the walls and forming intricate rows on the floor, inviting exploration. 

A sweet aroma of aged parchment lingered in the air, enticing you to breathe deeply, momentarily lost in the comforting scent. Your gaze was drawn upward to the grandeur of the glass dome ceiling, through which the soft light of day streamed in, casting enchanting patterns of birds and clouds drifting lazily overhead.

Despite the room's magnificence, a pang of sorrow gripped you as you realized that your time here would be limited to cleaning duties. Shaking off the wistful thoughts, you stepped aside, allowing Rae to maneuver the cart into the room.

Silently, you both set to work, the only sounds punctuating the tranquil atmosphere being the gentle swish of your feather duster against the wooden bookshelves, the soft sighs of Rae as she tended to the shiny hardwood floor, and the rhythmic clicking of your footsteps as you moved about.

The tranquility of the room enveloped you, offering moments of respite amidst the tasks at hand. Whenever you dared, you allowed yourself to pause and simply drink in your surroundings, feeling a sense of awe wash over you. 

Midway through your cleaning duties, the peaceful ambiance shattered as the doors opened loudly once more. You watched as Rae scurried out from behind the towering shelves and into the center of the room, where she bowed deeply. It was no doubt someone of high importance. Not wanting to create more trouble for yourself, you quickly joined Rae in the center of the room. You mirrored her bow, your eyes fixed to the ground.

An odd feeling filled your stomach, as if you had consumed a vial of poison. Nervously, you waited for permission to return to your duties. 

"It appears we've interrupted your morning cleaning," a soft voice remarked, its tone gentle and inviting. It carried a warmth that instilled an immediate sense of trust, despite that leaden feeling at the bottom of your stomach. "I hope you won't mind if we sit and chat while you finish up?"

"No, not at all, ma'am," you murmured, your fingers nervously toying with the hem of your apron. "We will leave you if you wish for us to do so." Please, let us leave. Please.

"Ma'am?" a deeper voice interjected, laced with disdain. "Don't you mean, 'Your Highness'? You should know better." The heat of embarrassment flushed your cheeks as you bowed again, preparing to apologize, but the soft voice intervened once more.

"It's quite alright, Jinnie," the gentle voice reassured. There was a rustling of fabric, the sound of someone drawing nearer. Then, the bottom of a deep red gown came into view, halting before you. "You may look at me."

Hesitantly, you complied. Your gaze slowly ascended, tracing the elegant lines of the crimson gown and the glittering jewels adorning its bodice. Your eyes paused at the pale, slender neck, and the sizable emerald necklace that hung from it, too afraid to venture further. Even without seeing her face, you knew precisely who you were speaking with.

With a delicate touch, she extended her slender hand and gently guided your chin upward, prompting you to meet her gaze. The Queen herself wished for direct eye contact. The notion was both daunting and terrifying.

"What is your name, dear?" she inquired, her voice soft yet commanding, as your eyes finally met hers.

You responded with a trembling voice, your gaze wide with astonishment. The Queen, touching you and speaking to you directly— it was surreal. Her eyes, deep and dark, seemed to harbor something ominous, sending a shiver down your spine.

She hummed softly, releasing your chin as a small smile found its way to her lips. "Well, my dear," she continued, her tone measured. "Would it be too much trouble if my sons and I had some morning tea here while you attended to your cleaning duties?" Her question left you dumbfounded, your mouth agape in disbelief.

She was the Queen. She didn't require permission to occupy her own library. This was her domain, and you were merely a servant. Why, then, did she seek your consent? With a raised brow, she awaited your response, her expectant gaze fixed upon you.

"Of course not, Your Highness!" you exclaimed, your voice quivering as you bowed once more. "Please, tell us if there is anything we can do for you."

Your gaze finally shifted past the Queen to identify her companion. Clad in a relaxed cream-colored suit stood Seokjin, his sneer aimed down at you with unmistakable disdain. It was evident that he had been the one to correct you  just moments ago.

However, as a flicker of recognition crossed his features, his smirk widened, and your cheeks flushed deeper with embarrassment. You couldn't shake the memory of your last encounter with the eldest Prince, and you wondered if his mother was aware of the scandalous behavior he had engaged in within the castle walls.

"What a delightful surprise," drawled another voice from the opposite side of the Queen. Instantly recognizable, it sent a jolt of alarm through you, betraying your unease despite your attempts to maintain composure.

You slowly turned your gaze towards Hoseok, who greeted you with a broad smile. Unlike his mother and brother, he opted for more casual attire. Although undoubtedly expensive, his clothes lacked the grandeur of his breakfast companions.

He wore a loose, billowing white blouse, haphazardly tucked into faded brown trousers. The untied string at the neckline exposed a glimpse of his collarbone and chest. His well-worn boots, though of high quality, bore the marks of use, reminiscent of the stableboy uniform he had worn on the day of your first encounter. Yet, today’s attire was of a higher quality, as if he sought comfort without the need to masquerade as something he wasn't.

The Queen's gentle clearing of her throat interrupted your brief staring contest with the tall prince. Returning your attention to her, you were met with another small smile. "We'll be taking a seat, then," she announced gracefully, before proceeding further into the room.

Seokjin followed his mother, casting you a peculiar glance as he passed by. Meanwhile, Hoseok remained rooted in place, his presence sending a wave of unease coursing through your gut. Your past interactions with him hadn't yielded anything positive, and you desperately did not want to be alone with him again.

"Would you mind fetching a pot of tea for us?" Hoseok's request pierced the air, his gaze fixed on you. "The morning tea should be laid out and ready to pour in the kitchen, as usual."

An uncertain glance over your shoulder revealed that Seokjin and his mother were engaged in conversation, while Rae watched you with apprehensive eyes. She seemed to consider something mentally, before she approached.

"Sir, would you like me to retrieve your tea?" Rae interjected, her shoulders tense. "I have more experience, so I will be able to select the correct item.”

Hoseok's gaze sharpened, his smile taking on a predatory edge. "No, I specifically asked for her to retrieve the tea," he replied curtly, dismissing Rae with a wave of his hand. "You may return to your duties."

Your heart sank, however you exchanged a thankful glance with Rae. At least she had attempted to intervene. With a respectful nod, you bowed to Hoseok. "Of course, Sir," you replied, before briskly making your exit without looking back.

As you swiftly made your way down the now-deserted hallway, the sound of the door opening and closing behind you caught your attention. Moments later, a familiar warmth enveloped your shoulder as a hand gently guided you to a stop.

"I wanted to speak with you," Hoseok began softly, his touch urging you to face him. "But I preferred to do so away from my mother and the other maid."

Your stomach churned as you stared up at him. You couldn't decide whether it would be better if he intended to flirt with you again or to reprimand you. Frankly, you simply wished to avoid any further interaction with him altogether.

"How are you feeling?" Hoseok inquired after a brief, awkward silence. His large hand cupped your cheek, his fingers brushing lightly against your skin. Startled by his sudden gesture, you instinctively recoiled, backing away from him in alarm.

"I'm quite alright, Sir. Why do you ask?" you murmured, deliberately averting your gaze to his chest. Despite your initial reluctance, the notion of a night spent in his bed was beginning to seem appealing, as long as it meant he would leave you alone afterwards.

Hoseok's frown deepened, and he withdrew his hand, allowing it to fall to his side. "At the ball not long ago, you were punished by the head maid for conversing with me," he clarified, stepping closer. Instinctively, you backed away, maintaining a respectable distance between your bodies.

"I took it upon myself to... remove her from her position. Both of them," he continued, a smile playing at his lips. Although his expression appeared benign, the underlying darkness in his words was unmistakable. Your mouth fell agape in astonishment. Alice had made no mention of Iseul's disappearance, as she had been the one to administer your punishment. However, Sanria, who had silently observed the ordeal, had now vanished, thanks to Hoseok's intervention.

"You didn't have to do that!" you protested, your eyes widening in disbelief. "Of course I didn't enjoy the punishment, but that's just the way things are done here! It wouldn't be fair to expect special treatment when others don't receive the same kindness."

Hoseok's brown eyes clouded with an unfamiliar emotion, prompting you to hastily clamp your mouth shut, fearing his potential wrath. His jaw tensed and relaxed several times before he spoke again.

"Either way," he said, his tone clipped. "No one will lay their hands on you. You're not theirs to hurt." With a rough grip, he seized your chin, his demeanor shifting from jovial to menacing in an instant. "And that little blonde whore? She had no right to treat you the way she did, either."

His words struck you like a physical blow, and it took only a moment for their full weight to sink in. As terrified tears welled in your eyes, Hoseok made sure to drive his point home, leaving you no room for doubt.

As Hoseok recounted the disturbing events in vivid detail, a nauseating sense of satisfaction twisted his features. "I'll do it again, too," he declared, his voice tinged with darkness as he offered you a sinister smile. "I'll do it as many times as it takes to make my point clear. No one should ever treat you as anything less than a Queen."

His gaze bore into yours, waiting for any response, but you were unable to find the words, overwhelmed by shock and fear. Your mind raced, your heart pounding relentlessly in your chest. Sensing your silence as surrender, he advanced towards you, his grip on your chin tightening as he closed the distance between your bodies.

You didn’t move as he gently worked his lips against yours. Your stiffness didn’t seem to bother him as he groaned softly, his hand caressing your cheek. It was overwhelming for you. The close contact, the terror that coursed through your veins from his confession.

You were letting a murderous prince kiss you, the same one who had just informed you that he would willingly kill again. You had only spoken with him a few times, and he was already this obsessed with you?

The kiss seemed to last an eternity, before he finally pulled away. A satisfied expression graced his features as he swiped his thumb across your lips. Then, he backed away slightly, allowing more space between you both. His hands still held you, your skin tingling once more as it had at the winter ball.

His brown eyes now held a warm fondness, which was a stark contrast to his dark behavior from only a moment before. It was terrifying, and you suppressed a shiver.

You allowed him to hold you close as you struggled to find your voice amidst the turmoil of emotions. The last thing you wanted was to provoke his wrath. After all, he was the one responsible for Lady Pyke's murder—a brutal and chilling act that still haunted your thoughts. The mere contemplation of what he might do caused a surge of anxiety to envelope you.

Finally, summoning a flicker of courage, you drew in a deep breath and posed the question, "What do you want from me?" His response was delivered with a smile that mirrored the patronizing gaze of a parent faced with an obvious question from their child—a look that practically dripped with condescension.

"I love you," he stated firmly. "I want you to be mine. You are mine." His words left no room for debate, his tone resolute. Yet, his declaration did not soothe you, especially considering the heinous act he had committed.

"You've only spoken to me three times!" you pointed out, a frown creasing your brow. "How can you claim to love someone so profoundly after only knowing them for such a brief period?" As you placed your hands on his chest, intending to create distance, he misinterpreted your gesture and drew you closer instead.

"It was love at first sight," he murmured softly, his hand gently caressing your cheek once again. You tensed, hoping that he didn’t kiss you again. "I don't understand it either. One day, I was daydreaming about breakfast, and the next, I was dreaming of you. It was as if a fire had ignited within my soul, and it hasn't dimmed since."

You shook your head, struggling to comprehend his words. Was he hinting at something more? Was it sex he spoke of? No, surely he wouldn't go to such lengths just for physical desire. Yet, attempting to delve further into his explanation seemed futile.

"I'm just a maid. We can't be together. It goes against the laws of the kingdom," you asserted, averting your gaze from his. "We could both face severe punishment. The King and Queen would not approve."

Growing increasingly frustrated and feeling suffocated, you summoned the strength to push yourself away from his embrace. Every fiber of your being screamed for this nightmare to end. Part of you wished desperately that it was all an elaborate hoax, that he was merely toying with you. Yet, deep down, you knew the grim reality.

Hoseok was genuinely unhinged, convinced that you were the love of his life. He was willing to commit unspeakable acts for you, perhaps even harm you if provoked. He was a dangerous man, and it would be nothing short of reckless to deny him. But did you still do it? Yes.

"I can't marry you," you said, your voice trembling slightly as you met his gaze. Though his expression remained gentle, his words carried a sharpness that sent a chill down your spine.

"Of course you can," he murmured, a subtle arch of his brow accompanying his words. "I won't allow the court or my parents to stand in our way. You belong with me, and I'll do whatever it takes to ensure it becomes a reality."

You shook your head in disbelief. "No, Prince—" you started, only to be swiftly interrupted as he waved his hand dismissively.

"Please, my love," he interjected, his tone softening. "Drop the formalities. Just call me Hobi."

You rubbed your face harshly, the weight of desperation pressing down upon you. All you craved was to escape from him. "Prince Hoseok, I do not want to marry you!" you declared, your voice laced with anger, punctuated by the sharp stomp of your foot. But in the next moment, you realized your mistake.

His soft expression dissolved into one of fury in the blink of an eye. Before you could react, he seized you and forcefully pushed you against the wall. Towering over you, his face contorted into a menacing snarl.

“Do not decline me, my love.” He said, his voice low and dark. His face was inches from yours. “You will come to regret it.” He ran a thumb over your lip gently.

You stared up at him in horror as he breathed, “You will be mine.”

You couldn't help but berate yourself for your foolishness. Wedged between a rigid wall and a raging, erratic Prince, every instinct urged you to surrender. After all, he was a Prince. He was wealthy, had status and influence, and appeared to harbor genuine affection for you. Perhaps accepting his advances could lead to a life of relative comfort and ease? And of course, it could be safer than making him angry…

Once more, you felt a surge of defiance flow through you. You found the strength to reject him yet again. "No, I can't." In response, he pressed you even harder against the unyielding wall, his grip on your arms tightening painfully.

"Then I will make you regret it. You will come back to me, begging," he sneered, his words like icy daggers piercing through your resolve. As his grip finally loosened, you felt a rush of relief, though it was quickly overshadowed again by fear. You screwed your eyes shut, tears welling up, bracing for what would come next. Then, unexpectedly, he planted a gentle kiss on your cheek. "And, of course, I will take you back with open arms."

As he pulled away, you slid to the ground, feeling utterly defeated. "My room is the one on the second floor, at the very end," he said, stepping away. "When you come to your senses, do not be afraid to come find me. If I were you, I would do it sooner than later." His words echoed in your mind as you watched him leave, leaving you alone with your turmoil.

He took one last look at you before disappearing through the double doors to the library. As the door clicked shut, the hallway once once again filled with silence. Once you were sure that he wouldn’t return, you scrambled to your feet and rushed to the storage closet closest to you. There, you fell to the ground and curled your body, tears falling from your eyes as his words echoed in your mind like a haunting song.

"You are mine. You are mine. You are mine." Each repetition felt like a heavy weight pressing down on your chest, suffocating you with a sense of helplessness and dread.

Wendy's Wedding Gangbang

(Wendy x Reader, 2100 words)

Weddings set every girls' heart fluttering with excitement, and Wendy's is no different. Everyone is dressed up in gorgeous fitted outfits, their hair and makeup on point, alcohol flows in copious quantities, and at the front of every girls mind is an innate jealousy of the bride. Because they all know that she is going to get fucked tonight; a good romantic plowing to finish off an extraordinary evening as the center of attention. The OTV girls may get fucked all the time, but even they are weak to such feminine urges.

And so the girls have to sit their and watch, as Wendy recieves her first kiss, and then as the marriage is consumated on-stage. The girls watch with aching envy as the bride is fucked in front of their teary eyes, her legs twitching with pleasure. Wendy lets out a moan of release, her head thrown back as she is creampied. The girls watch like hawks as the groom removes his soaked cock from his newlywed's sopping pussy. Wendy spreads her swollen lips wide, as the first trickle of semen eases its way out of her. The audience sighs at the beautiful sight, as they eagerly await the signal to join in. Several girls faint from excitement, Jaime is hyperventilating, Aria vomits, many are already grinding against their chairs. Wendy dips a delicate finger in the growing pearl of semen, and raises it up high, before bringing it to her lips, savoring its salty taste.

Lily hurries over to the microphone from her place on the dais, unconciously drooling at the sight of the load in her friend. Breathlessly, she announces that as the First Fuck has finished, the guests are cordially invited to join in! The bridesmaids lead the way, grabbing their dates' cocks and demanding that they get put to good use. And so the girls enjoy their appetizers for the feast that is to come, eagerly fucking their dates in a desperate need to echo the sex they just witnessed. But of course their dates could not possibly emulate the perfect coppulation they crave; so after their initial lovers and boyfriends are drained, the girls move on to the main course.

A veritable flood of fans pour into the room, and an orgy of cataclysmic proportions commences. No hole is left unfilled as the OTV girls unleash their pent up lust upon their willing fans. Poki is surrounded by a spreading puddle of cum, as fans erupt all over her curvaceous body before they even reach her. Those that do manage to stick it in, drain themselves into Poki within seconds. Jodi meanwhile brutalizes her adoring fans, viciously forcing the cum out of their balls. Jaime milks her fans with equal fervor, selfishly forcing them to cram as many cocks as possible into her swollen holes. Various other girls orbit these paragons of lust, devour their leavings according to their own tastes.

The sexual debaucheries performed could fill entire books with lascivious descriptions of the celebrations; but that is not what this wedding is about. All of this depraved fucking is only background noise for the main event onstage, elevating it from a mundane affair to something glorious. Of course, it also serves a crucible, sorting out the chaff before they can reach the bridal party and partake in the pleasures therein. Leslie, Lily, Miyoung, Celine, Rae, and Janet awaited any who managed to navigate the hazards of the dance floor. There they are sorely tested in their love-making skills, and only after a vigorous love making are the chosen few allowed to approach the bride for their final test...

By the time you arrived, the orgy had been in full swing for at least an hour, judging by the number of supine bodies clogging the main area. Most of the common sluts had passed out from exhaustion by that point, sprawled amongst piles of fans, semen sputtering from bruised holes. Now the endurance of the Slut-Queens truly reveals itself; the OTV girls were still insatiable, ravishing as many boys as they could get their hands on. You sneak between the whorls of activity, your feet splashing through the pool of cum around Poki; careful to not look upon that cum-soaked goddess lest you give into your base temptations and mount her. Howls of tormented pleasure come from your left, as you witness Jodi fisting some unfortunate fan while she cruelly rides another in the Amazonian fashion. You pass by other such wonders, each straining your self-control to its breaking point, each urging you to submit to your lusts and cum until you are drained... But you push onwards, mind set upon your goal, your seed belongs to only one girl this night. Then the bridal platform is before you, the maids of dishonor still engaging in a robust session of sexual gratification, there will be no sneaking past these girls.

The first available bridesmaid is Celine, her beauty undiminished by the semen smeared across her body, idly reapplying her makeup as she waits. The flesh between her enormous breasts is a swampy mess of spittle and semen, and her dress had been reduced to a stained rag clinging to her waist. Upon your approach, she gracefully slides to her knees, giving you a politely inviting look. Nervously, you produce your cock for her to inspect, and without hesitation Celine takes you in her mouth. Her suction is intense, as she travels from your tip to your root without pause, her lipstick smearing along its length a scarlet trail. Celine's breasts softly clap, her hands clasping the back of your thighs to hold you steady as she sucks the soul out of you. You feel your orgasm building, and you groan for her to stop, pleading that you want to cum inside... inside of her pussy... Celine pulls off of you, allowing your moist, twitching shaft to rest against her face as she tenderly licks upwards along your shaft before asking quizzically, "Do you?"

Following your assurance, Celine stands back up and leans back against her love-seat, propping one leg up to allow you entry into her. Her pussy is hot and slimy, as covered with cum as the rest of her, but still tight with passion as it grips you. You embrace her, kissing those sweet little lips, holding her tight as you breath in her heady scent. Lust burns through you, as you push Celine fully onto her back her arms and legs wrapping around you as you take her in mating press. Her hands move down, cupping your face as she stares at you with unusual intensity, drinking in your features as if trying to memorize them. Breathlessly, she urges you to cum in her, her usual calm and motherly disposition absent; her eyes alight with desire as you fuck her. Your balls are beginning to rise when your hind-brain is finally able to slam its realization through to you: Celine is in heat, Celine is fertile, Celine is about to get knocked up by you. Your mind howls in protest at this betrayal, and you groan the name of your beloved as you feel your self-control slipping away...

A hand seizes your balls with an iron grip, firmly halting their ascension, and when the blinding pain fades a little you find Celine staring up at you. She gives you warm smile, filled with maternal pride, as she slowly releases her grasp on your manhood as her legs unlock around your waist. She pulls you upright, before once again descending upon your cock, but this time only to clean the sticky failures of your predecessors off of you. Celine beams up at you, and motions you past her, towards the nuptial dais, where the true recipient of your seed awaits. She stands back up, giving you a quick hug before you go, and as you leave you notice her reapplying her lipstick once more.

Wendy lays on the edge of her bridal bed, its sheets adorned with rose petals, watching with interest as you make the short walk towards. A small whiteboard with a list of the bridesmaids stands incongruously near her, and after peering at your crotch she adds a tally on it, next to Celine's name. Fewer than a dozen marks have been made, and five of those are next Miyoung's tab, evidently she was not the best when it comes to getting bred. With a ritualistic air, Wendy throws her veil back over her face, frantically adjusting her cut-down bridal gown to make it look a little less rumpled. Her makeup is still near-pristine, her black hair still unfrazzled, her perky breasts on full display, her lithe legs temptatiously exposed. Giggling, Wendy allows you to lift up the white gauze obscuring her face, cocking her head to allow for a deep first kiss. Taking you by the hand, she leads you to your wedding bed, sitting down with you as she examines you in detail now that you are closer. Her soft hand delicately traces along your cock, and she muses that you are the first guy to come from Celine. Noting your bemusement, she explains that each girl has a different color lipstick; its become something of a competition amongst them to prevent as many guys as possible from getting through. But no more on that, you and Wendy have a consummation to engage in...

Taking Wendy to bed is everything you could have dreamed of. She shyly allows you to take the lead, luxuriating in your attentions as you kiss every inch of her smooth body. Stripping her had been a pleasure, pulling down her gown to reveal her pearly white lingerie, contrasting nicely against her tanned skin. You suckle upon her breasts, much smaller than Celine's enormous bust, but still able to fill your hand as you grope them. Then you prowl ever lower, gradually approaching her quivering gates, eager to taste her paradise. Wendy sighs with satisfaction as you go down on her, one hand gently holding you in place while the other massages her already engorged nipples. With an adorable squeak, she orgasms, trembling under the loving care of your tongue and fingers. Then it is the bride's turn, crouching before you as she takes your cock in her mouth, lovingly sucking you off until you are at rigid attention once more. Her technique is slow and tender, gradually working her way up and down your length as her manicured fingers stroke your shaft. When she feels your sack begin to tighten, Wendy halts; smiling up at you, she asks if you are ready to take her, or if you wish to spill your seed elsewhere on her... Wendy laughs, she didn't think you would.

At your request, Wendy sits on your manhood as you remain where you are, you want to watch it going into her. She squats down, gradually sliding you into her as she holds onto your hands, her entire weight pressing down onto your crotch. You both moan as she hilts you, your entire length buried within her taut belly, her warmth engulfing your cock as much as your own heat warms her insides. Wendy's thighs flex as she starts to ride you, bouncing indulgently as if she had all the time in the world to enjoy this. Her juices slick your shaft, coating it in cream that gradually begins to trickle down your balls and onto the bed; a sure sign of her enjoyment. Your dick bulges inside of her, and as hazy as Wendy is, she is still quick to take notice of this. Leaning down, she rolls the pair of you over, so that your positions are reversed, now a mirror image of your earlier encounter with Celine. But this time there would be no sudden halting of your orgasm... Wendy licks her lips, teasingly reminding you that girls' cycles often were in sync, so you know what that means, right? Your entire body shudders with anticipation at the thought, eager to impregnate the girl moaning beneath you. Mere seconds later your potent seed spews into Wendy's fertile womb, over a week's worth of pent up semen gushes against her cervix, before getting churned about by your frantic thrusting. Exhausted, you collapse onto her, resting your head against her neck as you both heave for breath, dripping with sweat.

You attempt to climb off of Wendy, but her limbs still hold you fast against her, cling to your warmth. Demurely, she asks that you stay inside of her for a little while longer, to make sure that your seed does not leak out. After all, Wendy wants to make sure that your sperm... takes.

Key Takeaways

While Barbie is away, Ken is listing his room in her iconic Malibu DreamHouse on Airbnb and bringing Barbie’s all-pink world back by popular demand.

In celebration of the highly anticipated release of BARBIE only in theaters on 21 July 2023, Ken is inviting two lucky guests to stay in the newly revamped Malibu DreamHouse in all its Kendom glory.

This summer, it’s Ken’s turn to take hosting for a spin. That’s right – Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse is back by popular demand on Airbnb – with a twist.

While everyone’s favorite doll makes her live-action film debut in BARBIE, Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) is handing over the keys and hosting an overnight stay in the newly renovated and iconic Malibu DreamHouse.

Barbie is everything, and he’s always been “Just Ken” – until now! Ken has revamped part of Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse with everything he loves (rollerblading, anyone?).

And though guests can clearly see his, ahem, Kenergy, Barbie’s signature pink remains ever-present throughout the life-size, toy-inspired home, as she’s done her own redecorating since the last time the Malibu DreamHouse was available for guests.

“We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” said Ken.

“But now, it’s my turn, and I can’t wait to host guests inside these one-of-a-kind – dare I say, one-of-a-Ken? – digs.”

Ken is adding hosting to one of his passions in celebration of the release of the highly anticipated BARBIE film.

Directed by Greta Gerwig, written by Gerwig & Noah Baumbach, and starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrara, Kate McKinnnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 🦢 … ONE. BEGINNINGS IN BALLET

Kim Mi-rae was born in Seoul, South Korea to a French father and a Korean mother as the youngest of three children. Her father, Lucas Alexandre Bienvenu, is a renowned pastry chef and former model who hails from a noble family. Her mother, Kim Minyoung, is a semi-retired supermodel and fashion designer who founded the luxury brand MYK in 1994. Mi-rae’s older siblings—Kim Jaehyun (or Christopher Kim) and Kim Narae (or Christina Bienvenu)—also have successful careers, as Jaehyun is a singer-songwriter based in Korea and the United States, while Narae is a supermodel and actress.

Ever since she could remember, ballet has been a huge part of Mi-rae’s life. In 1998, her mother placed both her and her older sister in classes to help develop their strength, discipline, and to help them discover their interests. Narae only remained in ballet for seven years until she went on to begin her career as a model, but Mi-rae stayed. She knew ballet was her true calling, and for the next decade, she would grow to become one of the world’s most prolific ballerinas.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 🦢 … TWO. INDUSTRY DARLING + A CAREER IN LIMBO

Starting in 2007, Mi-rae would study at the Bolshoi Academy for a year and a half. During the times when she wasn’t in class or competing, however, she was in front of a camera. In 2008, she was featured in a children’s campaign for her mother’s brand. It was her third modeling job; her first was when she accompanied her mother down the Chanel runway in 1997, and her second was when she was featured in her mother’s “No. 5” campaign in 2001. Once those photos dropped, however, it was a whole new world for Mi-rae. One of Minyoung’s close friends contacted her and asked why Mi-rae wasn’t a model. A few days later, she was sitting in front of another camera for a portfolio shoot, and that summer, she had a contract with Wilhelmina.

In between becoming the youngest soloist at the Korea National Ballet at only 16, Mi-rae would also become a top model, with her career reaching its peak by 2011. By then, she had made her film debut in one of Korea’s top blockbusters, and multimillion dollar contracts with L’Oréal and Kate Spade came with it. She starred in campaigns for top brands such as Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Giambattista Valli, Vivienne Westwood, Anna Sui, Moschino, Miu Miu, Jill Stuart, and Saks Fifth Avenue. She walked runways in Paris and Milan despite her short height, and became renowned for her unique, “doll-like” looks. Unsurprising considering that both her mother and her sister became supermodels, but her most surprising venture would come in 2018.

After rising to the position of principal dancer and becoming a guest principal at both the Bolshoi Ballet and the American Ballet Theatre in 2015, three years later, Mi-rae was inspired by her brother and she made the decision to pursue an idol career in Korea, signing with LOEN Entertainment. The announcement shocked the public, as most thought she would do nothing but ballet even after her cover of IU’s “Boo” went viral in 2016. Mi-rae’s debut was intended to come just months after she signed, but once she got busy with ballet and acting, it was unfortunately but inevitably delayed.

In between 2018 and 2021, Mi-rae made strides as an actress and television host, in addition to her established ballet career. She was nominated for her first major award in 2018, starred in a career defining drama a year later, and was offered her very own talk show by KBS in 2021. However, despite all of that success, there was still no talk of Mi-rae’s debut. In early 2019, rumors spread on online forums that her debut was set for sometime that year. However, said rumors were quickly dispelled by LOEN and Mi-rae herself. That led netizens to ask the question: just when was her debut?

In January 2021, it was announced that Mi-rae had terminated her contract with LOEN (now Kakao). This had fans worried, as that could’ve spelled the end of her idol career before it even started. A month later, however, SM announced that Mi-rae had signed with them instead.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 🦢 … THREE. THE DEBUT

Even though fans were expecting an immediate debut, they unfortunately wouldn’t get that. Mi-rae would take to social media explaining that she wanted to train her voice and get used to the industry before debuting, and that such a process would take a while. In the meantime, Mi-rae would of course continue ballet and touch on other aspects of her career, starring in two television shows and a film and also trying her hand at fashion design, designing a capsule collection for her mother’s brand in 2022. As the years dragged on, though, fans grew worried again.

However, in the spring of 2023, something happened. SM announced that Mi-rae was preparing for her debut, and that it would happen sometime in the summer. A day later, she posted footage of herself in one of SM’s studios, and netizens immediately began talking.

In May, Mi-rae was featured on aespa’s “‘Til We Meet Again,” and anticipation for her debut continued to grow. And then, after a month of teasers, Mi-rae’s debut EP—Jewel—was finally released.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 🦢 … FOUR. SUPERSTARDOM

Mi-rae’s debut album and its corresponding single instantly became chart-topping hits. She quickly rose to becoming one of Korea’s most beloved soloists, with netizens comparing her to the likes of IU, Bae Suzy, and Im Yoon-ah.

Her surprising vocal talent further endeared her to the public, garnering her nicknames such as Korea’s Doll, SM’s Angel, and Nation’s Little Sister. Even though her career isn’t even a year old yet, many agree that it clearly looks promising. Mi-rae is—in every sense of the word—a star, and her well-rounded skill set, charming personality, and princess-like image is setting her up to be one of the industry’s most iconic idols.

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE NEW YEARS

'Twas the night before... and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

'Twas the night before New Years and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even Ralph Middlemas, the 'Little Mouse'. Just as the White Elephant Party was coming to a close, the doors to the Magnolia Inn flung open with a large gust of wind. Some of the presents that had been won toppled out of partygoers arms and onto the floor. A glass of eggnog spilled out of Jonah Rivas' (@jonahxrivas) hand and all over Noel Delaney-Yassin's (@dvsconocvdo) top. But, before the Lunar Covians could get the doors to the Inn shut, one by one individuals in the room's eyes began to turn dark. Black smoke swirled behind the pupils of Amrita, Mason, Remmy's eyes & so many more. It seems a handful of witches and vampires have been overtaken by a dark magic spell. The full list of the inflicted are as follows-

The Witches Who Are Inflicted: Poppy Reed, Amrita Singh, Mason Mahir, Rae Elle Park, Briar Reed, Jasmine St. Claire, & Linden Reed

The Vampires Who Are Inflicted: Meena Raja, Arlo Ladrón, Remmy McAllister, Julian Chandler, Ronnie Bishop, Ralph Middlemas, Bri Rivas, & Sébastien De Fortier

These witches and vampires all signed up for the Neighborhood Watch and now 'Cypress Reed's' promise is coming to fruition. He promised those who signed up a chance to win a luxury prize that involves a celebrity guest. Low and behold, the surprise guest is himself, Silas Chamberlain, the dark magic coven leader who came to town in an attempt to build back up his coven. But, with his own children still holding their reservations, Silas had decided to take matters into his own hands and gift those like him, the witches and the offspring of the Reapers, the vampires, a taste of their full potential. The inflicted above signed up for what they believed to be a Neighborhood Watch, but in reality they were signing a blood oath to be taken over by a Dark Coven's desire fulfillment spell. For the next twenty-four hours, the Inflicted will no longer be tied down by feelings such as love or empathy. They will instead be overtaken by the surge of power and a desperate desire to perform dark magic. The vampires whose siphoning abilities were once more restricted have become unlocked, while the witches, coven members or not are now being spelled to tap into a number of spells that they previously restricted themselves from.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE TOWN?

For the Inflicted: You have your empathy is turned off. You are still able to feel emotions (anger, lust, joy etc.), but you temporarily have lost the ability to care about anyone else or anything. You feel an overwhelming need to perform dark magic (as if you will die if you don't cast another spell) and you are willing to stop anyone who tries to get in your way or prevent you from doing such. But, the spell, like most magic spells, can't force you to do anything you are morally against (i.e. if you're against killing or hurting a loved one), so when faced with a situation you're morally against, you will have a chance to be able snap out of the spell. For those who have ever performed dark magic before- you will have an advantage. If you already know the dark magic spells, you will be able to cast them with ease. For those light witches & vampires who used to be witches - you may be aware of the spells to cast, but the world of dark magic is new to you. Some spells may land as intended while others may have unintended results. For those vampires who have never casted spells before- your spells will likely go awry as you try to attempt to perform magic for the first time.

For everyone else: As the inflicted descend on Lunar Cove, you disperse from the Magnolia Inn, taking to the streets in an attempt to protect yourselves and reason with your inflicted loves ones. If you are able to emotionally resonate with an inflicted, you may be able to snap them out of the spell (the inflicted can also snap each other out of the spell, though it is less likely). They may snap out for a few minutes, before falling back under or could permanently snap out of the spell and come back to reality. But, if you'd rather not risk it, you can always run, hide or fight back. As for the uninflicted covenless witches & vampires- Silas may have unlocked the inflicteds magic, but the potential to perform dark magic is still inside of you as well. You can chose whether you want to attempt to dabble in the dark arts yourself or reason with them using light magic and your other abilities to try to protect yourself or help. But, note, for those in the coven, you will be unable to use your magic while your coven members are performing dark magic. You will essentially be human for the next 24 hours.

REMINDERS

The tag for the event is lunarcoveevent9. Everything pertaining to this plot drop or the event should be under this tag. Starters should have both the starter and event tag.

This plot drop is mandatory. Whether your characters were at the Magnolia Inn or not, your characters will still have the opportunity to run into the Inflicted around town and, as always, big plots should be discussed with the admins before playing them out on the dash, so if you have any big plots you want to do, please let us know.

Goodbye 2022, you were a good one

It is January 2nd 2023 - at least for the next 42 minutes.

I’ve posted a lot of pictures but no real updates about life. So here’s a little catch-up on how the rest of 2022 went.

I guess I should start with the fact that today marks 6 months of being with Carlos. I’ve never been happier. I love our love so much. We’re so good together and to each other, and we both say exactly what’s going on in our heads to the other. It feels so comfortable, I am forever going to be in awe that I found this kind of love. I never thought I was worthy of it. We had so many adventures and we’ve already discussed our future adventures this upcoming year, safe to say I cannot wait. More camping, more off-road adventures, all the things I used to do alone but now with the love of my life.

Kayli is moving in in March. Jesse is moving out and I know there’s a whole post about that so I won’t go on and on but I think us not living together anymore will be for the best. I’m excited to revamp the apartment, and to see Kayli more, and just have fun hangs. Most of our hangs have been in my apartment anyway so now she just won’t have to drive home. I feel like the vibes are just going to get so dang cozy.

I am a godmother now. Kristine gave birth on 11/11/22 to Mikaela Aviana Charlton. She was suppose to be born a Sagittarius but she decided to arrive early and be a Scorpio with a Gemini moon. I truly cannot wait for her to grow into a little person with her own personality. I flew home for a weekend just to meet her and spend time with Kristine and Rae. They are really killing the parenting game, and give me some hope that I can do it too but I know I wouldn’t be able to do it without Carlos. Carlos is like Rae in that he’s the calm chill parent and that’s exactly what I need to balance me out. Kristine seems so happy though, she’s become so emotional since becoming a mom and I absolutely love to see it. 

I hosted thanksgiving and christmas at the apartment. It was just for Carlos and his roommates but still. It was so exciting and fun. I was very awkward on Thanksgiving but then Christmas was a breeze. I really love cooking for so many people and watching them love what I’ve made. Thanksgiving was a roasted chicken, Roasted vegetables, honey butter rolls, green bean casserole, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and apple sauce cake. Christmas was roast beef, onions au jus, Asparagus with whipped feta, mashed potatoes, more honey butter rolls, maple carrots, and a gingerbread cake.

Christmas in general was a hit. We celebrated noche buena at Carlos’ and he made Dominican food which was delicious. I could not stay up to midnight without napping. It’s going to be a challenge in future years, I can already tell. But Carlos got me a knife sharpener as his joke gift because I always have dull knives, a pet cam to watch Lilith while I’m away, and a pinned death’s-head hawkmoth. And his roommate’s got me gifts too which was the sweetest. He loved my gifts for him as well - a purple TC Tugger shirt (made by me), a personalized cookie tin with never ending refills, and a gold chain. He hasn’t taken the chain off since I gave it to him and it makes me so happy that he really likes it.

My birthday was also a good day. While I got the birthday sads the day before and found myself sobbing for no real reason, my actual birthday went well. I reserved brunch at the Lumber Baron Inn and we ended up being the only guests which was very fun. Then we went to the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative art which was just so cool, and then the Denver Nature and Science Museum which was also very cool. Their Gem and Mineral exhibit is so freaking cool. And then we had dinner at Ocean Prime. I thought it would be a nice cap off to the year since that is where I went in January for my first solo dinner. 

I could gab on more and more but now it’s only January 2nd for 16 more minutes and I’m quite tired. But it’s safe to say 2022 has been a great time and I’m excited for what the next year holds.

Drag Race queen does Michelle Visage and her look is so good

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/drag-race-queen-does-michelle-visage-and-the-look-is-so-good/

Drag Race queen does Michelle Visage and her look is so good

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK queen A’Whora went to an awards show red carpet in full Michelle Visage drag this month, and the styling and makeup is unclockable.

The British queen appeared on the second season of Drag Race UK with Ru and Michelle.

Earlier this month, A’Whora stepped out on the red carpet of the UK’s TV BAFTA awards as Michelle Visage. The queen later posted her amazing transformation on social media.

“What better way of celebrating mother @michellevisage as the host of the bafta carpet like dressing AS MOTHER!” A’Whora said.

“I am now taking bookings as a Michelle Visage fill-in so catch me hosting down under soon.

“As a lot of you comment on my photos ‘giving Michelle Visage’ I thought I’d truly give you the full experience! Perhaps if I’d done this for snatch game I’d of won.”

A’Whora gagged dozens of drag queens who voiced their approval in the comments section.

And Michelle Visage herself responded, “OMG OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! I love you my twin child.”

“Now THAT’S drag family resemblance,” somebody else wrote.

“Farrah Visage,” another follower commented.

Michelle Visage is new host of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under

Two months ago Michelle Visage confirmed she was officially taking over as host of the newly-retitled Drag Race Down Under.

RuPaul announced he was stepping down from the gig for season four in a big shake-up for the show.

After months of gossip, production company World of Wonder explained how the new arrangement will work. Michelle and Aussie comedian Rhys Nicholson are still regulars on season four’s judging panel.

As well as the usual celebrity guest judges, they’ll be joined by a rotating roster of Down Under queens, in a first for the show.

The lineup of ten new queens, including our Aussies from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, have leaked online and will be officially confirmed soon.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under season four will stream in Australia on Stan later this year.

Charli also recently unveiled ‘The Von dutch remix with addison rae & a. g. cook’, an effervescent rework of the smash hit single featuring A. G.
