Hey fake boyfriend, you can’t go around touching my fake boyfriends…ahem…toys! 🤣 It seems these social misfits may have stumbled into a scenario that forces them to become more social and more likely to become true friends and more. I suspect the younger brothers will become enlightened in short order but ironically somewhat protective of Riley. Right now, I think the timing of this relationship just has them finding it difficult to see Cedric in a new light, as an attached person with newly divided attention. No Riley, it was just an expression when I said Bite Me! 😮 😆

Oh, that’s Wikipedia!

Was he the man behind the Glory Hole? 😂

You succeeded, he is a hard, stern, and arrogant asshole. Professors are people too, so every walk of life experience is going to be found irregardless of our own education level. I think the hatred in responses is just a reflection of the realistic character you’ve created. We’ve all had life experiences or felt something somewhat close to this kind of treatment from a person in a position of authority or power. The responses may be different than expected but I think that’s a credit to you in creating a powerful response to a single character; as long as you have the good guys or those we identify with, your story is good 😊. But the professor remains and asshole, so I think within the context that student respect and interaction with him is aligned that way, then it’s expected. Should he start to show more compassion, then it’s going to take good cause to be believable in my mind. i think you’ll probably have fun with the Rocky Horror Picture Show Asshole character as this moves follow.

Oh goodness, Devin is being silly and not realizing that others very much see and will draw conclusions from his behavior. Poor young Dylan, his gaydar is pinging Tyler, but even having grown up as friends and family with Tyler he still finds trust that Tyler wouldn’t be a threat if he tests the waters that maybe Tyler may have closer feelings too. Young gay relationships or filled with so many challenges. 😢 Tyler has not found clarity beyond his own feelings, he must now face the blue haired asshat that he knows better than most, that he may have helped crown with his asshat attitude. Meanwhile Devin hasn’t communicated what Tyler has done to offend him, or that he may still be doing. Tyler, and Dylan too, may be stepping in suspicious riptides with Devin, but who knows, as Devin hasn’t even hinted with Tyler or Dylan what has crawled up his chute. Likewise, the blue-haired antisocial asshat hasn’t been shown to have observed or to have come to a more informed opinion of Tyler and Christine. Hmmm 🤔, has everyone kept up with this high school gay central soap opera? 🤣

I’m disappointed in Christine. The comment “Thank god, I really like Mindy and was dreading having to tell her,” is just so wrong. First she would be taking Tyler’s comments as gospel vs hearsay gossip. Without Christine observing Devin first hand, then consulting/confronting Devin himself, would be propagating gossip about people’s private life and sexuality; and a betrayal of Tyler confidence. Christine is bright with logic and observation, but her sense of personal boundaries and privacy are lacking. Even with Tyler, she has continued to dig when it is obvious he is not ready to discuss that subject; and the feelings of yet another person without his consent. i like Christine overall, but her personality is coming on so strong now that she going beyond being a helpful friend, but a nosy confidant.

OMG, an accident would be story classic but beyond a doubt, he is not a asshat…he is a true ASSHOLE! Through years of engineering studies, a degree, and then adding in flying, flight instruction, crash investigation studies, and then actual investigation, I’ve seen pricks like this plenty of times. They get such an arrogant and elevated opinion of themselves that they forget they have jobs and expectations for return to employer and society. An instructor whether academic, laboratory, or apprentice, is not to reenforce the arrogance of the instructor. Their job is to improve the knowledge of all students. What employer would accept the professional hired to instruct your most advanced students, yet they can only show a 50% or less success at their job? That’s a very poor performance benchmark. Learning ways to encourage questioning inspires better understanding and retention; you don’t intimidate them into thinking I’m dumb and he HAS NO TIME OR PATIENCE FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT KEEP UP. Learning to read the audience to gage our communication skills…are they understanding this topic the way I explained? Not an arrogant asshole that thinks his way of understanding is the only way anyone else processes the information and application of that information. Yet again this sad excuse of an instructor, that doesn’t even try and that has discouraged questions from those students that have them, as he HAS NO TIME FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT KEEP UP. As a mathematical himself, he would know that no year to year class would be the same, no two student will be the same. His forcing his percentage performance is his own gatekeeping of those worthy to join his ranks. The most progressive technical school I’ve been associated with, had performance expectations for the instructors; student testing percents, student completion rates, and student evaluations (both during the course and course completion/exit evaluations of the instructor) were used to evaluate the instructor. Those student test were approved by faculty as syllabus measures, not just any problem the instructor was interested in teasing, challenging, or stumping the students with…therefore cross class comparisons were normal. This guy may be better as a person but as an instructor…HE IS AN ASSHOLE!

@Lee Wilson called up Niya too? Wow 😮, as Jim Nabors said, “surprise, surprise, surprise.”

From the twisted mind of @Lee Wilson and the wonderful biogenesis that Mission Critical Labs rushed to the markets, both medical supply and the CEO incentivised Stock Market, we have Murder on Main Street, USA. The environment hazards of all the decomposing bodies themselves is great, but with all the unaffected animals treated to a buffet of man flesh, it could easily become a major threat to the kids. Animals acquiring a taste for human blood will then scent upon the boys, and possibly turn them into prey; after all, there’s going to be a lot of unfed pets and newly treated wild animals. Walking dead…no, RUNNING FOR LIFE!

I see dead people…yikes. So much for having adult support. Young Lionel is very lucky to have caught George when he did. Good on George to understand Lionel wasn’t ready for the shocking reality he himself had freak out about just a short time earlier. What an interesting twist, the misfortuned get flipped to be the only ones fortunate. What is the extent of this killing death cloud, how did it become so prolific from such limited use.

Hard to enjoy make-up sex when it’s not the one you’re making up to. He’s no less Bi than before, he just didn’t think through his latest invitation before realizing he alright reserved a table for two.

I’m not sure if the shock affect on Aaron was a bad thing. He’s been in his depressed and destructive mode too long; how do you gently pull someone from their own denial to be happy. Anything other than shock could just as easily been like the previous 5 years of rejected calls and letters…avoidance. He wasn’t entrapped without his own way out. He did choose exit left, but not before he looked into the face of his blame of the last 5 years. Now the human element enters the picture and perhaps blaming Tony starts to erode as the face is real, it’s here, and it’s asking for discussion. The logic itself is such that denial becomes less logical, and the destructive depression is hard to sustain when you’re no longer alone…except by your own choice. It’s hard to blame a missing man that’s no longer missing, so time to face your own demons boys. It’s time for BBQ, line dancing, and stepping on each others toes; then you can sit, talk, and heal your wounds.

Ian so boldly antagonized Natalie when baiting Alex to divulge his marriage news. His boasting wealth and power take a hit when Gael strolls within Amanda’s sights. The game Natalie plays as being the victim is still more than bagging Carlos in my mind. By “capturing his heart” with Ian threatening Carlos with no alternative, her victory is hardly award worthy. Unfortunately we don’t get much of a Carlos vantage point so much of that still remains a mystery. Likewise Alex hasn’t exactly won Gael over either, however they seem to share a common goal. One has to wonder if Natalie is putting on a good act working for herself, or in cahoots with Ian…or is it in cahoots with Alex? It’s easy to see where a master plan to take down Ian could include a team such as Natalie, Alex, and now even Gael. Gael hasn’t made the full commitment to Alex; is it his trauma? Or is it his limited agreement for freedom? Does Carlos still hold his heart, though the dead glare seems to speak more of a message to resist, to fight, to come back to him as his true self. Classic dig: Shut up Amanda, let the married people speak. 😂 Amanda remains a wildcard. She seems cut from the same mold as Ian, however, does that make her a free agent for herself, or supporting Ian and family? A true wildcard element would be if despite all appearances Amanda was also working with the team in efforts to take down her brother. My guess would be that she is working against Ian without realizing that it coincidentally helps the others. Unfortunately Gael is still suffering the trauma inflicted over the months of captivity. This is tragic as it should never have happened, and it was for nothing more than the convenience of others in greed and phony pride.

Brandon and Tyler are both having a hard time accepting their recent interaction, but they are thinking through what they really think of each other. Now they need to have a talk. Matt gave Brandon the more friendly response to get it together and admit you like the boy. Tyler gets the more harsh high school reality check. While most girls don’t appreciate kiss and tell, yet when an intimate moment fails they take it as a personal affront or a juicy gossip morsel to good to pass up…even if it’s harsh, personal, and destructive to a person they choose to share with just a day before. Matt once again stops himself short of clarification on Tyler’s father and dad, but it implies he thought well of Tyler’s dad; and appears to approve of Brandon’s taste in partners. Tyler can hardly wait to meet Brandon…ahem…his tutor for calculus come Thursday. I hope they double check their equations and come up with the same answers. No doubt, Tyler will be more excited with the slope on the angle of dangle.

Meatloaf had classic manipulated and frustrated male songs: I’d Do Anything for Love Paradise By The Dashboard Light etc

OMG, that is sooooo true. It makes me think, @vanalas must have had a vicious matriarchal family. One must wonder what the average lifespan of the males was; if not murdered, then how long before they begged to be put out of their misery? 🤣

And then there was the 3 little pigs 🐷…

Rub a dub dub. In adolescence, I flushed that they would make a poem for kids about rubbing your dub dub. 😳

Hmmm 🤔, much to process before these boys are ready to start speaking more freely. Though by comparison, Tim was much colder than what reaction we’ve seen from Aaron in this initial reintroduction. I think Aaron is probably thinking back and wondering would he do the same thing again, while even Tony has his own doubts and regrets. But when sensitivity assessments are measured against those decisions would anything be done differently? Arron regrets Tony didn’t stay, while Tony regrets that Aaron didn’t come with. But do either regret their decision in compromise. Communication is key, and sometimes saying you want to….BUT, is the start to brainstorm other ways that both may be comfortable enough to try. This is second chances here, if they make it that far. Two roads diverged…near a sandy cove (to hell with yellow wood, it’s summer time with ocean breezes). 🤣

Pop goes the weasel!

Adam’s Apple 🍎, had he never taken that bite…perhaps…

What a crazy Thanksgiving dinner. Though they were having steaks instead of turkey, I must say I’m surprised that it was only the steaks that got seared today. Amazing that Kaylec can be so socially aware and graceful, yet become totally unhinged with anything to do with Q or Jacob; why does the Skai leadership keep allowing Kaylec in on these sensitive meetings, knowing his predisposition for rage engagement?

Hey now, no bashing our youth of Florida. Besides, story isn’t even set in Florida.

Adding to mystery of Tyler’s heritage. It makes sense that Matt may be under some type of NDA. But as with any NDA, what or whom is it protecting, and who executed the instrument? We see repeatedly that the distinction of like your father vs like me/Tyson. Could it be that after many years served, that Matt received help from Tyson to win his release? Or does Tyson have more damaging info or evidence that Matt will not risk coming to light? Or is it simply the threat of the NDA itself? The brash and bold Brandon says what I think is very important to this little mystery: “What did he do?” “Apparently they were leaving a party out at Breaker’s Beach and the truck he was driving overturned and his passenger was crushed underneath.” “That really sucks,” Tyler said softly. “Why?” “You kill your friend and still wind up in jail,” Tyler said sympathetically. “Not really, he was hammered at the time and trying to outrun the cops,” Brandon disagreed as he shook his head. “If he would’ve stopped at the checkpoint the accident never would have happened.” Why was there a roadblock in the first place? Simple and random policing action, or was there a net set to catch a wanted person of interest or a kidnapping/underaged victim? Highschool is very awkward, for teens and the laws trying to navigate youth from childhood protections to more adult accountability; yet a single group within a single car may cross those boundaries in multiple ways. Some jurisdictions have floating age differences rules written within their laws to avoid penalties to youth of very little age difference between them, from being treated differently for the same incident/violations involved. Yet, I doubt that will be or was the case here.
