YOUNG Hollywood stars and drugs. What could possibly go wrong? Looking at you River and Brad. How did that vegan thing turn out River? Wouldn't want to pollute your body with meat..... Thanks Mark for the continuing saga and the timeliness. I feel a shift in the pace. I don't see how Will, as controlling as he is, has not forced Travis to see Casey or the other therapists that the family uses. I don't feel in the least sorry for Travis. He is a weak, simpering mess. The LAST thing he should have done was invite Kendo to his house. Buy him a nice dinner at Pancho's or SUGARFISH. He is letting Kendo suck him into his vortex and pretty soon it will be more than sucking vortexes. Travis says he is too nice, but he little problem getting mad at Will, even to the point of shoving him. But hey, it's a story..... I think we know big drama is coming.

It's an interesting thought, but I think Herrera was too genuine and distressed for it to be an act. Also, if they were trying to trap the Earl of Bridgemont in an illegal tryst, they'd a much more credible witness than a newly promoted first lieutenant.

Oh damn, poor George. I think he was hoping for another helping of Spanish chorizo! I wonder what his appraisal is of chorizo over a nice helping of British bangers! Thanks Mark for an early release of a sailor boy chapter. I hope you had a good vacation. I find when I cruise I get a lot of work done. I tire of bingo and trivia quizzes quickly 🤣 I hope Granger's Spanish crew gets to use their newly acquired skills soon.

There is no balance to being an asshole and a bully and Mr. "do you know who I am". You can be fiercely loyal to friends and family WITHOUT being an asshole and a bully and Mr. "do you know who I am".

“Then Harvard will be so pissed at you you’ll be out of here and we won’t have to deal with your whiney ass ever again,” I said loudly. “And if I’m in a really bad mood, I’ll chase after you and fuck up your life just for fun.” That had an impact. “I’m just about finished putting up with your bullshit,” I said, glaring at him and throwing power out like I was my father. It was pleasant to watch him flinch. And people wonder why I don't like Will? He is an asshole and a bully and Mr. "do you know who I am". This is over intramural volleyball, which IRL maybe gets 35 fans to show up. Will loves to throw around his weight, even when he is wrong, maybe especially when he is wrong. Yes it is cool that Travis got to play, but he should have played after Cabot officially forfeited. There is nothing noble about breaking the rules and the rulebreakers benefiting. Every day I see entitled people who think rules are for the little people.

Isn't that a little judgmental and trying to restrict others thoughts? 🤣

Rather sad that people choose to inject politics into reviews when GA has a very firm policy that forbids talking about politics in any place but The Pit. As the intro to The Pit says, "The only place on Gay Authors for chatting about politics. Keep it in here so people that just want to enjoy stories can do so in peace."

Happy 4th Mark 🧨 Thanks for a great new chapter. As a note to the author, 2-on-2 volleyball is more commonly called 2 man. 2X2 is how you order a double double at In-n-Out 🤣 Also in beach volleyball (which is what the NCAA 2-on-2 volleyball is) the magic number is 21, not 25. No real drama this chapter, just the continuing build-up to a presumed melt-down.

Actually you'd be surprised at how normal and nonchalant the Sprouse boys are. They don't try to hold onto past fame as so many other former child stars have.

This is Sangria in the U.S. $16 for a three liter jug 🤣

That was my thought. Sangria seems a little déclassé for Jeremy. If he drank alcohol, which I don't recall much of from him, it would be something very esoteric or French or both (Pernod?).

More to the point, it is intra-fukin-murals, not even the collegiate team. Bravo. Perfectly stated. Yes it is Will's fault solely, because even though Will has been upfront verbally, his physical actions say , 'hay boyfriend' and played Austin like a Stradivarius. Well yeah, but it WAS Delaware 🤣 It is the lying to himself and what he was doing to Austin as a result that bothered me.

Absolutely brilliantly written chapter, but fuckin' A when did college students at one of the most elite schools in the world turn into tween girls. "Then there were the other emotions, mostly sadness and loneliness. I missed studying with Austin. I missed lying in bed with him after sex. I definitely missed the sex. And I missed waking up in the night and finding him there and feeling safe and comfortable as a result." This is all Will's fault. The point of an open relationship is to be able to fuck around, not get emotionally dependent on your hook-ups, not to encourage/mislead your hook-ups. And it certainly was misleading to Austin for Will to treat him like a boyfriend and do all the cuddly shit. Will, the smartest 19 year old on planet Earth, certainly had to understand the effect he was having on Austin. Will's words may have said, 'I am committed to Travis', but his actions said, 'you have a chance to replace him'. Will should have kept his relationship with Austin compartmentalized to study buddy in one slot, fuck buddy in a second slot, and dining companion/friend to a third slot. Will ignored the warning signs because as always with Will it is about him and what he wants. “What we’re doing, being the Triad, is the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life." Well THAT is a very sad commentary on Niko's life..... College intramurals are the coolest things he's ever done? "Kirkland capitalized. They forced Adams into high, predictable swings and ran their middle attack straight through the heart of the Adams block." That is all on Niko. He is the quarterback. It is up to him to distribute the sets and do enough dumps to keep the opponent off kilter. Wanna see some volleyball? Here are the #1 and #2 teams in LA County, CIF Southern Section, State of California and #1 and #2 in the country. Mira Costa is Manhattan Beach, Loyola (where Tommy went to high school) is LA. A lot of the top players from both teams play club together for MB Surf.

The purser isn't a traitor, he is a simple crook as so many pursers in every navy were. "His lesson on leadership is profound and applies not only to military leadership but to almost every kind of leadership." This is a modern concept, straight from Harvard B School. The prevailing attitude at the time was "Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die." Captain Bligh was considered the very model of a British navy captain and his harsh treatment of men was the norm of the day, not the exception. He was eventually promoted to Vice-Admiral of the Blue and Governor of NSW Australia, and not punished for losing his ship. Granger was something of a progressive along the same lines as John Paul Jones of the U.S. Navy.

I really appreciate a new sailor boy chapter since they are a rare commodity, unlike your every day CAPter chapter! I don't think these are the traitors necessarily, I think they were just two resentful douché bolsas. George knows how to win people over, the common sailor, the aristocats and merchant class.
