Handsy-spanky is a great game, play it solo or share with friends…tissues not included.

From Aaron’s copy of Shifting Sands it would also seem that Aaron was living within himself and the groundhog days of Shifting Sands; it’s good that he can now smile and see it as living memories and not as something lost. 😢 😊 Tony hit the nail on the head; I love you , I want to be there for you, …how could Aaron reject the gift that Tony bought to express that without sending an unwanted message and intention? Nailed it! 🙌🏿 Tony seems to have regained his position as family and friend in good standing amongst the whole gang. Now the vehicle is secured and accepted, what about that Mansion Tony mentioned? 🤣

How ironic that even in his unaware state, Ray created his Vampire Lord Protector. Known to his VLP as his Prince. Yet by Brynjar’s own witness, Ray seems more than coincidence, more than Ray having a trace of ancient blood, but that Ray is possibly a rebirth of the ancient Royal himself or perhaps his line given new life. The witches have toyed with the power far too long and too much. It would seem they have conjured powers far greater than they ever expected, but it is not for their claiming, not of their taming, it as a reawakening of the original Guardians and a return of the ancient Royal himself. How poetic that as Ray read the ancient story telling walls, he saw the Royal had a protector as Gabriel is his protector, yet he still hasn’t quite made the connection that his destiny is far greater than boyfriend to the Steward’s son, a de facto Prince; making Ray himself a de facto Prince to the Lord Steward. A great awakening seems to have already occurred and now gains momentum as the challenges mount. The Vampires don’t tolerate failure or defeat. Perhaps the next engagement may give Ray the opportunity to create his own guard, Vampire Royal Guardians.

Unfortunately, it would probably be better if it is Joey in the pool, for if it is not, I fear Joey and his rage were involved. Alcohol is not a viable argument for temporary insanity, though Joey maybe on the cusp of the real insanity argument. Either way, it doesn’t look good for Joey. Insanity treatments with trial and error for possible medication regiments can be excruciating on mind and body, and perhaps even more so for family members dealing with the incarceration and treatment that is often totally out of their hands.

It brings a new meaning to hot and bothered. 🤣

It’s wholly possible that the Dead Pool guy is Joel, whether by his drunkenness or at the hands of victims, or perhaps a friend of a victim that witnessed the crime scene of Will’s assault and attempted rape, Joey may have found the relief from his pain of figuring out he just isn’t going to succeed in life. Perhaps Will does need that Victims of Joey support group, so that he can truly free his mind of guilt, learning the true extent of what was Joey. 😢

It would certainly apply to any lawyer waiting for a chance at yet another big medical claim, so I think any hospital has probably adopted rules based on precedence vs religious; so if they can’t avoid the lawsuit, then don’t offer the service.

That is the problem with textual comments, the reader will never know that the commentator nods his head in agreement or smiles in recognition of an accepted comment as fact… boink! Those questioning the validity of that sound may very well have forgot to comment after doing their testing. 🤷‍♂️

Strange that mom gave Gael hell for setting out to poison Alex, but then coached him to do better to know Alex…rather mixed signals from her. Likewise, she later threatens to have Gael sent back to that prison… Interesting words for someone that had no connection to those events; it sounds a lot like possible self-incrimination, was she also in cahoots with Natalie/Ian? Leo emerges once again like a cockroach. Alex delayed too long while allowing Leo to play his game of seduction with memories thrown in to invoke a familiar attachment. Good that Alex finally did react in a way that sent a message to Lyon, but then again did Alex for Lyon to go to Plan B? Could Leo be involved in this poisoning as he came into this not for Alex? I rather to get Alex as a prize. Leo has been working for someone else the whole time, so is this a case of if I can’t have my man then no one can? Ian had already made his bed with the many underhanded deals he has made to undermine first Carlos and Gael, and then Gail by himself. Gael has every right do you think that Ian is the most probable person to attack Alex, but did Gael stop to investigate where the flowers came from and who really sent them? There is no doubt that if Ian didn’t send them, he would have loved to have come out with the idea himself. So it is rather refreshing either way that Gael has finally reached his limit and confronted Ian on the only level that Ian will probably ever understand. Likewise, as Ian lost again is control of the narrative, with Amanda laying on the floor and shocked surprise, Ian’s family laid witness to Gael telling his side of the story. While seemingly shocked, it should not have been a surprise for them to hear how vicious Ian has been with Gael. But it’s refreshing to know that Amanda, Natalie, Mia, and Carlos, all heard firsthand from Gael just how violent and ruthless Ian had been. Natalie should be worried herself as she now realizes the gravity of being and accomplice to false imprisonment, kidnapping, aggravated assault, battery, rape, and starvation, just to name the main charges that she faces with her accomplice Ian; many of which Amanda is an accomplice also.

Oh please say it was red wine too! 🤣 Too bad it was half empty, for I think it would be even more appropriate to be able to say that you cracked open a new bottle of wine, just for Ian.

I’m thinking mom knew she had turned the page that there was no going back from, yet the question to confirm what she was looking at…not as judge, but in Jamie’s eyes and words. Not that she was thrilled, nor was she totally shocked, but she was surprised as she had played a hand in this temporal distortion of a bad train wreck about to happen in her kitchen. Oh lord, she had turned the page that showed the Devil, but that Devil was not an image on paper but rather the father of her child that she had just thrown to the devil himself. The mere seconds to process from three vantage points, Jamie in resignation, mom seeking understanding, dad…morphing into the hand of the devil to slap his own son for not moving quick enough the evacuate his house. Having judged Jamie unfit previously, but now a sentencing in light of new evidence, immediate and unforgiving.

The vengeance is justified as it was undeclared war against the Norwegians, when ironically they had hopefully escaped that world to live free. So it is rather ironic that Ralph and crew would invoke a rite of freedom from that same very world they left as violent assassins against a free peaceful group that had escaped; to live life free of their collective history. My only concern is that while paralysis and pain is a fitting vengeance, they can still communicate and coordinate their own vengeance. I would have hoped for full paralysis, so they would have been trapped within their own prison, both in mind and body; totally retired, incapable of retribution from their person prison.

It’s just a damned shame she didn’t really put some serious effort into that slap 👋, how enlightening that could have been. How in the world did she trick herself into the Wolfpack to become the mother of the Steward’s children? Which Witch Bitch Sister is responsible for the disappearance of the Alpha King? While the Bitch Mother seems to want to prepare for battle, is it to help the Wolfpack or to battle the sister that perhaps pushed her within the Wolfpack in the first place? The only reason it seems that Bitch Mother wants to prepare against the Vampire Realm is to protect Ray from being taken…from her. So the Realms all move closer to battle as the looming fight becomes more of a power grab…of Ray; or what Ray may yield, by blood or other, dead or alive? This could be a perilous time for all wolves, but especially Ray.

Yes 😁, inside the home/immediate family or outside that circle, one often indicates propensity for other, especially at his age.

Well at least it was reviewed before things got out of hand, that could have been a messy situation.

Ironic that you have pitted what seems to be a mentally handicapped antagonist of the physically handicapped and birth deformed victim. Also ironic that of Jeff and Michael, the blind from birth handicapped son is the most normal. I’m not sure the anger issues that extent to pushing mom and showing raised fists could truly bypass the mean definition; the boy threatening physical violence with his mom???? ….Mean, I see police 👮visits and reports in his future.

Landing on root free sod that’s had rain or watering would definitely be better. Mine wasn’t concrete, but it was packed dirt over dense oak roots…rather hard. I had the ole Harry Potter boneless wrist going on with the broken wrist, but was able to get up and walk to the house with excruciating pain, nausea level pain, in my back. My brother was in town and drove me to the hospital, but by that time the swelling and inflammation was occurring all over my body. All my clothes were getting tighter and the pain was so bad I don’t remember much except being in and out of it mentally. Even now I require nerved burning/blockers with continuous medication regiments. I shrunk a good bit in height that day too, I wouldn’t wish this on anybody.

Let’s please keep the real world politics out of our fictional stories and comments, if I want political activism and persuasion I watch the news.

Yeah, having fallen 20 feet myself, to have one wrist shattered, that same associated shoulder ruptured, and worst of all, I have moderate to severe spinal compression fractures all the way from my neck to my butt; with one area having severe vertebrae rupture. I was in the hospital for nearly a month for stabilization and simple mobility rehabilitation. Unless something was there to break Will‘s fall, a four story fall would have done far more damage than a simple, broken arm, and severe concussion; his injuries are like falling from a one story roof…so second floor fall. Mine is like third floor. Forth floor?

Well good, mom is showing she’s human but also showing that dad is heading for trouble, as he may not be losing just a son. Likewise, Aiden’s a good boy, seems to imply mom doesn’t mind that Will has him as a friend, a roommate, and possibly more if mom is understanding that Will doesn’t have a choice in changing nature. Aiden showed is frustration and exhaustion. While in an uncontrolled environment those words and emotions could be a repeat of the night of flight…attempt. In this controlled environment, I think Aiden said and Will heard what needed to be said. It’s better that Will hear and see the impact his life and to know that it does matter to those that care for him; stop looking through the Joey soda straw! Open your eyes to see beyond the safe friends zone and accept the possibility of love and partnership, possibly with the dedicated guy that loves you, Aiden. Yes you’re forgiven, but can you expect that Aiden would reset to square one and allow himself to be hurt repeatedly while you pine for the destructive Joey.

In the rollercoaster of gay life, I think we’ve all probably visited the room of twisted minds.

I think some of Will’s confusion about Joey is that Joey being straight kept Will from acting on his feelings and saved him from being outwardly what he couldn’t accept; through his teachings at home and in his church. Aiden is the opposite, he makes Will happy to turn on his family, his church teachings (by dad), and to become what has always been known to him as an abomination. So sleeping with Aiden was a mistake against so much of Will’s existence up until these recent days; not a mistake for how he feels about Aiden, but a mistake for what liking Aiden that way represents to the whole of Will’s narrow definition of his life. The mind is a terrible thing…when it turns against logic and desires with abnormal fear and paranoia.

Yeah, hopefully it goes back to Will simply waking in Aiden’s room, and in his arms.

Will was working on ideas for his art pieces, envisioning a piece in black and white tones until…adding a splash of red. 😖 Geez, Will’s mind has to get back on the rails soon, and Aiden was hit the nail on the head that Joey went out of his way to hurt Will with his words and then with his actions against Will’s family, church, and job; Joey is a selfish prick.
