Here in the labyrinth (I’m trapped) Chapter 4
Warnings:
T-slur
Deadnaming
Misgendering
Gay people!😱😱
“You love me?”
Kyle asks. “Of course, Kyle. I thought it was pretty obvious. We’re both idiots, aren’t we?” Stan laughs. “I can’t believe you love me. I could’ve sworn you were straight. Even though you’re my super best friend, I must have been pretty off, huh?” Kyle smiles, feeling like his old self again. “Can you believe it? Stan *loves* me! Me! Kyle Broflovski! The same Kyle who was just outed to his entire school a few hours ago!” Kyle thinks, already feeling better, and almost forgetting about the series of events that happened earlier that day. Almost.
“Can I… can I kiss you?” Stan asks hesitantly, not wanting to make Kyle uncomfortable. Kyle answers by grabbing Stan’s jacket and pulling him closer to slowly press their lips together. “You look so cute right now.” Stan laughs a moment after they pull away from the kiss. “You don’t look too bad yourself.” Kyle jokes, looking in Stan’s eyes but then looking away.
They sit in silence for a few moments. “Sh*t…” Kyle sighs out of the blue.“What’s wrong?” Stan asks, tucking Kyle’s hair behind his ear. “I keep thinking about it, just… *so* much has happened today. I’ve been outed as gay and trans, everyone knows that I like you, and I just learned that you like me too. Just… wow. How can that all happen in one day?! And all because of Cartman! I hate his f*cking fat *ss so f*cking much right now.” Kyle seethes, not surprising Stan at all with his level of anger. Stan would probably be just as mad, because what happened today was “seriously f*cked up”, as he would put it.
“He really is an assh*le for that. Is there… anything I could do to maybe help?” Stan asks. “No, no, you’re fine. I’m sorry if I keep making a big deal out of it.” He pauses before continuing. “Actually, no I’m not. I *should* be making a big deal out of this. What Cartman did was really horrible and I deserve to be mad.” Kyle thinks, starting to ramble. “That’s the spirit, dude.” Stan jokes, moving his gaze from Kyle’s eyes to his red lips. “Shut up.” Kyle eyerolls, laying down on his bed, but still making sure there’s enough room for Stan. Stan lays down next to him, and they both stare at the white ceiling. 
“Do you want to sign Cartman up for those sh*tty websites that give you spam mail?” Stan asks out of the blue. Kyle laughs, pushing him gently. “Dude. Is that the only revenge plan you can think of?” “Pretty much.” Stan shrugs, taking his phone out of his pocket and unlocking it. Kyle watches over his shoulder as Stan puts Cartman’s email into a bunch of websites. “This is stupid.” Kyle eyerolls, grabbing his phone off his nightstand and when he unlocks it he notices the 5 missed texts from Cartman. “Hey.” “I’m not sorry about what I did. Stan deserved to know he actually had a crush on a girl.” “Lying b*tch.” “Kylie, answer.” “Whatever, tr*nny.” Kyle sighs, “Great.” He thinks, and doesn’t reply to Cartman. He knows he has read reciepts on, and leaving Cartman on read might make him more mad than responding to him with a cringe *ss comeback.
Stan ends up spending the night with Kyle. When they wake up it’s Tuesday, a school day. The night before, Kyle’s mom gave him permission to skip school for the day, because of the events that took place yesterday. Stan’s mom also did, just so he could take care of Kyle and make sure he didn’t do anything irrational, which Kyle rolled his eyes at.
Kyle wakes up to Stan holding him tight. He slowly sits up in bed and starts to scroll on TikTok. Eventually, Stan rustles around and rubs his eyes. “Hey Kyle.” He says, voice hoarse and tired. “Hi.” Kyle says, barely above a whisper. After a bit, they manage to wake up enough to get breakfast. They eat some cereal and then play video games. 
12:35 PM
“Dude! I literally won the game. I have no idea why you’re acting like you’re better!” Kyle laughs, pushing Stan playfully. “I am!” Stan eyerolls as Kyle gets up to turn off the video game console. “Do you want to go for a walk?” Kyle asks, hoping for some fresh air. Stan perks up and nods. “Yeah, of course! Whatever you need, dude.” He says, and they do. They walk to Stark’s pond, and sit down together, holding eachothers hand. “I’m so happy now. Even though Cartman outed me… I guess I wouldn’t be with you without him.” “You’re right, I guess there’s good in some bad things, huh?” Stan asks. “Exactly.”Kyle replies, placing a kiss on Stan’s cherk before laying his head on his shoulder.
They walk back to Kyle’s home a bit later, watch movies, and chill out. 
Kyle’s mom soon arrives from work, but Stan and Kyle don’t notice. They are laying in Kyle’s bed cuddling. At the worst moment possible, Stan turns toward Kyle, and kisses him. Before Kyle can process what’s happening, his mom is yelling. “Stanley Marsh! What on Earth are you doing?!” Stan quickly stops kissing Kyle, turning to the woman standing in the doorway. “M-Mrs. Broflovski! I-I can explain!” Stan quickly says. Kyle can feel his breathing getting faster and faster, his chest rising. “Okay? Then explain. You too, Kyle. I want to know EXACTLY what was happening. “W-well we were kissing.” Stan says. “And why would friends be kissing?!” “Ma, alright! We’re dating! Is that what you wanted to hear?!” Kyle screams, tears falling from his eyes. He knows he shouldn’t be screaming at his mother. “Don’t talk to me like that, Kyle! Stan, I’m calling your mother right now to tell her we’re dropping you home.” Stan jumps out of the bed. “Mrs. Broflovski, please dont tell my mom we’re dating. I’ll tell her later, I promise. Please.” He says, following her down the stairs as she goes to get her phone. 
Kyle stays in his room, stuggled into his blankets and crying out of humiliation, as Stan keeps begging Sheila not to out him. “You’re lucky I’m not one of those people who out children.” She says to him, calling his mother. 
Sharon: Sheila? Everything okay? Is Stan alright?
Sheila: Hello, Sharon. Yes, they’re both fine. I’m just wondering if I could drop Stan off at your house in about… 15 minutes?
Sharon: Oh yes, that’s fine. Thank you for dropping him off.
Sheila: No problem, heading out now. Goodbye!
Sharon: Bye!
____________
Sheila sighs, hanging up the phone call and putting it back into her purse. “Gather your stuff, Stan.” Stan nods quickly, and runs up the stairs.
“Kyle? Can I come in?” Stan asks, sniffling. “Yeah its unlocked.” Kyle says, and Stan opens the door to see Kyle wrapped up in his blankets. “Your mom is dropping me off at home. Don’t worry Kyle. You have nothing to worry about, okay?” Stan says, sitting on the edge of Kyle’s bed. Kyle just nods, sitting up and wiping the tears off Stan’s cheeks with his thumbs. “I guess you should get your things together.” Kyle says awkwardly, getting out of his bed and helping Stan pack his stuff back into his bag. “Are you almost ready?” Sheila asks from downstairs. Kyle sighs, “Yes, ma. Just getting his things together.” Soon after, Stan and Kyle practically tumble down the stairs, and to the car. Kyle goes to sit in the back with Stan, as usual, but his mom interferes by saying, “Kyle, sit up front with me.” “It’s not like we’re gonna kiss back there.” Kyle mumbles quietly, closing the backseat door and getting into the passenger seat next to his mother.

Hi~ I just found your blog and I read some of your Twice idle reactions they were really good. And I was wondering if could ask for a Dreamcatcher reaction to you calling them Mommy? Like the one for Twice? Thank you in advance 💗
Reaction Tuesday: You Call Them “Mommy”- Dreamcatcher
hihi! thank you very much, especially when it is very hard for my stuff to get traction because most of the smuts i see come from either female nevies and onces who write in male povs or male nevies and onces. although i don't mind that, as a female neverland and once, i would like to write in the female s/o to feel comfortable.
anyway, now that my little spiel is over, i can make a reaction of dreamcatcher for you! sorry it's coming late, but at the same time i wanted to do this for my reaction tuesdays series as well as the new years list that i said id do if i didn't finish my wip list that i made last year (literally a few days ago). so, here you go!

WARNING: suggestive smut, title explains it all, physical contact, use of nicknames/pet names, mentions of being strict, mdlb (similar to ddlg or ddlb but the “b” stands for baby here), mentions of domming, slight swearing, mentions of praise, mentions of having a t*tty k*nk, dom!mommy!idol, sub!baby!reader idolxgen reader, all fiction since i don’t actually know much about the members
🌿 ୨ ✎ ‧₊ — — — — — — — — — — — — — ₊˚ ˊ˗
jiu:
being the leader and all, she just loves when she can baby her baby. so you calling her "mommy" she loves very very much. expect her to give you lots of hugs and treats of all sorts; even if you ask to let her kiss you, she'd do it for you.
"and what does baby want mommy to do for her?"
Tumblr media
sua:
feels odd about it until it's in bed. if you do it outside the bedroom expect her to act flustered because she most likely is. but in between the sheets, oh she would want you to call her that the whole time she is fucking her fingers in and out of your tight hole as in on a mission.
"god, i love when you call me mommy. and your little pussy loves it when i call you mommy, too."
Tumblr media
sihyeon:
she loves when you call her "mommy". somehow when you say that her dominant side comes out. she will make you sit on her lap almost all the time. she will make you hold her hand all the time. she will cling to your side when she feels possessive. but most of all, she'll always top you when things get heated. more like a "daddy" than a "mommy", if you ask me.
"don't you just love being mommy's little baby?"
Tumblr media
handong:
she is like ??? she loves you and would love if you go soft for her every once in a while, but you calling her "mommy" would throw her off every time. you could be grinding onto her and she acts very dominating, grabbing your hips to make you grind harder, and you call her that. she would blush and get subby for a moment.
"honey, you know i prefer you call me baby."
Tumblr media
yoohyeon:
she is a silent killer (if you read my "sana go-to dirty talk" you'd understand what i mean). when you call her "mommy", expect her to be so much rougher with sex while sweet talking you.
"baby loves it when mommy pleasures her so well? yeah? good girl."
Tumblr media
dami:
as "mommy" (or "daddy") as she may seem to the public eye, i think she would be very soft. don't get me wrong, rough play is common within you two but you guys share neutral roles. if you call her "mommy", she'll turn dark for a second and make you call her "daddy" or "sir". if any feminine terms, then "mistress".
"call me 'daddy' instead, babybun."
Tumblr media
gahyeon:
she'd actually prefer her calling you mommy instead. she is a sub at heart, so she would love it if you dominate her in soft or hard situations. she would whine so hard while you toy with her nipples and cunt with your fingers and small bullet dildo.
''mommy, pleaseeee wreck me harder!"
Tumblr media

Clare seeks HIMBO: ‘The Bachelorette’ cast first impressions
The Covid-19 pandemic has been rough for the entire world, but Bachelor Nation faced some dark days too. Going eight months without a single new episode from The Bachelor franchise is something I would really like to not relive.
Fortunately, those dark days are over. Clare’s season has me sucked back in. 
Tumblr media
The quality of this image is atrocious.
Most of these men—presuming they followed CDC’s social distancing guidelines— haven’t seen a woman in months, are touch deprived, possibly unemployed and contemplating moving back to their hometown while stalking the housing market on Zillow. Everyone’s desperate. That makes for some pretty good TV.
This season features men ranging from ages 26 to 41. We’ve got a boy band manager, a grooming specialist, several men who look like they masturbate in front of full length mirrors and even more who probably want me to join their MLM pyramid scheme. 
I’ve never been more ready to roast a bunch of men who have nightmares about going bald. It’s all I’ve wanted to do since March.
Let’s go:
AJ, 28, Software sales
Tumblr media
AJ is the kind of guy who writes “Looking for the Pam to my Jim <3″ on his Bumble profile. His bio is generic and probably not reflective of who he is as a person. If I were Clare I’d swipe left.
Ben, 29, Army ranger veteran
Tumblr media
“Ben's favorite indulgence is an ice bath.“ Well then.
Alexa, play “Run” by AWOLNATION.
Bennett, 36, Wealth management consultant
Tumblr media
Bennett’s profile is the biggest red flag I’ve ever seen. This man says he is the total package but hasn’t always been "this successful and good looking.” But wait, there’s more: “According to Bennett, his high school girlfriend is the only girl he's ever had to work for.“
Can someone tell me what NYC neighborhood he lives in so I can blacklist it?
Blake M1, 31, Male grooming specialist
Tumblr media
Blake’s just another stereotypical “29th round draft pick who sat on the bench of the practice team before getting cut, but claims he left the sport due to an injury on his own accord.” 
Blake M2, 29, Wildlife manager
Tumblr media
This Blake is an outdoorsy Canadian who seems pretty genuine and cool. Unfortunately, he has the face of someone who’d get sent home on night one. I hope I’m wrong.
Brandon, 28, Real Estate Agent
Tumblr media
Just another boring hot person. Nothing to see here.
Brendan, 30, Commercial roofer
Tumblr media
Brandan, not to be confused for Brandon, “loves some good true crime, working out and hanging out with his friends.” I can’t even make fun of this man. We have the exact same interests. 
Chasen, 31, IT account executive
Tumblr media
The Winklevoss twins are actually triplets and Chasen is their long lost brother. But more seriously, have you ever seen someone who looks more like their name than this man?
Chris, 27, Landscape design salesman
Tumblr media
“Chris hopes to find a woman who is sharp and witty but also easygoing.” Chris, sweetheart, have you met Clare? Easygoing...? There’s still time back out of this before it’s too late.
Dale, 31, Former pro football wide receiver
Tumblr media
Dale aggressively screams “Bachelor material.” I’d say he’s auditioning for that role but Matt James already scooped it up. Better luck next year, Daley.
Demar, 26, Spin cycling instructor
Tumblr media
Demar is a “very popular spin instructor in Scottsdale and says he can get on that bike and spin to any beat thrown his way.” Imagine how many trophy wives Demar has f*cked? 
Eazy, 29, Sports marketing agent
Tumblr media
Eazy is very similar to Dale on paper. Except his name is Eazy so he automatically loses that battle.
Ed, 33, Health care salesman
Tumblr media
“Ed is looking to find a woman who has natural beauty without looking overly fake.” Ed deserves to die alone.
Garin, 34, Professor of Journalism
Tumblr media
Garin’s bio is giving me hubby material vibes. And maybe a little bit of a “gets eliminated on night one” vibe too.
Ivan, 28, Aeronautical Engineer
Tumblr media
Ivan, what are you doing here? We’re in a recession. Please go back to your normal job before it’s too late. 
Jason, 31, Former pro football linemen
Tumblr media
“He is a former NFL offensive lineman who, after suffering too many concussions on the field, decided to prioritize his health and change the direction of his life.” A big, brawny HIMBO with CTE? I feel like he’s Clare’s type.
Jay, 29, Fitness director
Tumblr media
There are too many things about Jay that I dislike and I’m trying to keep this brief. Jay says “it's time to take a break from worrying about others and focus on himself instead.” I am willing to bet money that this man has never made a woman c*m.
Jeremy, 40, Banker
Tumblr media
Jeremy is the oldest contestant ever to come on "The Bachelorette,” which may seem like a monuments accomplishment but he’s literally only one year older than Clare. 
He also “hates Instagram models, both male and female,” so he should have a lot of fun here.
Joe, 36, Anesthesiologist
Tumblr media
Before I even saw his profession and location, I thought Joe looked like a doctor I’d find on a NYC dating app...and...uh...I probably did see him on there now that I think about it.
Anyway, this man has apparently been through seven stages of hell while on the front lines fighting Covid-19 in NYC so I definitely think he deserves to find love. Someone marry him please.
Jordan C, 26, Software account executive
Tumblr media
I can already tell Jordan is going to get the “I’m young but mature” edit which means he’s probably not going to be good TV.
Too bad someone a tad younger (like Tayshia) wasn’t the Bachelorette. I feel like they’d make a cute couple.
Jordan M., 30, Cyber security engineer
Tumblr media
I was going to say something mean but Jordan’s into cyber security and I don’t want my blog to be deactivated, so never mind. Cast photos are historically bad so I’m sure he looks much better in real life.
Kenny, 39, Boy band manager
Tumblr media
I could go for the obvious drags regarding this man’s profession (or his sh*tty chest tattoo, or his suspiciously boyish face relative to his age), but I like to think I’m more clever than that. 
I’d like to take this time to talk about men, who are obviously difficult people, who rant and rave about how they want an “easygoing” woman. Look into the mirror, bud. No, not the one you use to jerk off to your reflection; the mirror that looks into your soul. Out of respect for the rest of humankind, have some self-awareness. Or maybe just see a therapist.
Mike, 38, Digital media advisor
Tumblr media
Mike is seemingly a decent catch, but I can’t help but wonder why he’s still single or how he never (accidentally or on purpose) impregnated a woman in his 38 years of life. 
And now that I’m thinking about it, do any of these men have children? I have yet to see any mention of it in their bios. But there are eight men left to review, so there’s still time.
Page, 37, Chef
Tumblr media
I spoke too soon. Page is a father! He also hates football! I’m a fan of this man. I was initially going to drag him for his name and say that Page is not a real name. PAIGE is a real name. PAGE is a piece of paper. I’m allowed to say this because we have the same name except mine is spelled the correct way. Based on my (mostly positive) review of his cast bio, I have decided not to hold his name against him.
Tumblr media
Riley, 30, Long Island City
Tumblr media
Riley, once married with children, would like to go on a family vacation that consists of touring every single MLB stadium in the country. If i were his wife, I would simply never give this man children.
Robby, 30, Insurance broker
Tumblr media
No more Robbys on The Bachelorette. Society has evolved past its need for more Robbys.
This Robby described his dream woman as: “Incredibly athletic and able to throw back a few beers with him after a day of hiking. She has a sweet personality and won't mind that he spends his Sundays on the golf course.”
Someone please give this man a sex doll. He just wants a hole.
Tyler C., 27, Lawyer
Tumblr media
“Tyler C. is a badass lawyer who says he is a businessman by day and a cowboy by night.” How does that make him a lawyer? Does this mean he’s into cosplay? I’m confused.
Tyler S., 36, Music manager
Tumblr media
Tyler makes an honorable living off riding his brother’s dick success as a country singer. “He just LOVES his job!” Uh yeah, I would too if I had a low-show, high-paying job off the merits of nepotism. It’s the American dream.
Yosef, 30, Medical device salesman
Tumblr media
Another dad! He’s totally going to pull the “girl dad” narrative. That saying is kind of sexist to me but the masses generally eat it up, so I’m fairly confident Yosef will get the "sweet guy” edit he’s looking for.
Zac C., 36, Addiction specialist
Tumblr media
“He loves Philadelphia sports and dreams of sharing a Philly Cheesesteak with his future wife while watching the Eagles win a Super Bowl.” This man is so South Jersey it hurts. 
On a more serious note, I don’t think anyone in recent history has spoken openly about their personal struggle with addiction on this show, so I hope Zac gets a chance to tell his story. 
Zach J., 37, Cleaning service owner
Tumblr media
Zach is seemingly obsessed with Clare already and hopes to introduce her to his mom as his fiancée. Since Zach watched Clare on Juan Pablo’s season, you’d think he’d know that Clare would first meet his mom during the final four hometown dates. Assuming he makes it that far. My prediction is that he won’t.
Final thoughts
After eight long months Bachelor Mondays are back!!!
Uhh....wait.
Actually, we now have the less-exciting Bachelor Tuesdays. Yeah, it definitely doesn’t have the same ring to it. But I’ll take anything at this point.
Here are my final predictions:
First impression rose: Dale. It just looks like he can turn on the bullsh*t charm
Final rose: Jason. Clare wants a HIMBO I just know it.
Bachelor: nobody (Matt James is The Bachelor)
Most likely to get engaged on Bachelor in Paradise: Blake M2
Most likely to get canceled online: Bennett
Most likely to get sent home night one but deserve better: Chris
Who are your favorite men cast on this season?

Thinking of the Police during BLM Times- "black and white" thinking at work, for better or worse
Hello, hope you are well! It is a pleasure to be writing to you during these tumultuous times, and particularly with some controversial thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement.
Yesterday was #BlackoutTuesday, where many of my peers and social media users shared black squares on their news feeds to promote their support for the Black Lives Matter movement. This movement started with the despicable death of George Floyd, caused by a white police officer who held his knee to George's neck, George also being handcuffed, until George passed away. It was horrible, and part of a trend of African American citizens being treated brutally by white police officers, with the events being captured on camera and causing outrage at large in the nation. This event is receiving more attention and support than I can remember among other events, almost to the point where it is offensive if you do NOT speak out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, which is something I have never experienced before. I didn't feel obligated to speak out for #BlackoutTuesday for Black Lives Matter, even though I did attend the rally here in Denver on Tuesday in support of the movement. However, I DID feel obligated to express that yes, this Black Lives Matter movement is extremely significant, righteous, and well founded, but it simply isn't as black and white as "Black Lives Matter- f*ck every other reason that comes into play in this situation"- which is why I made an Instagram post expressing that I do support the good standing police officers in this time.
The fact is, yes, there are a great number of racist, sh*thead police officers going to work every day. They are out there performing racism and doing horrible things to the African American and minority communities on a frequent basis. No denying that, and it is f*cked up to support that. There also is a great deal of systemic racism in place to oppress African American communities, not to mention a terrifyingly bleak history of African Americans as slave labor in the United States. All these factors can't be overstated, and play into the current Black Lives Matter movement very significantly. But there is a couple points I would like to make to give a second side to the issue, when considering that there also is a voice to be heard for the police officers and what their contributions to the nation mean.
First off, I'd like to say that yes, as I mentioned above, there is a lot of sh*tty police officers with ill intentions going to work everyday. They are performing racism on the job, and disgracing the police force community. However, I also would like to point out that the main actions you will hear about from the police force community is going to be these extreme instances, the George Floyd or the Trayvon Martin instances, as these ones are the most outrageous and give an extremely clear rallying point for movements like BLM. In conjunction, I would like to say that these instances are not the majority of the cases! They receive the majority of the attention, and are the most attention grabbing, that is why they spread over mundane stories like "police officer does his job". For most writers, this would be the *insert statistic here* point, and I would definitely do that if this were a school essay, but I'm just going to rely on you and I's common sense and say that I think we can agree its reasonable to say that most police officers aren't racist pieces of sh*t, maybe many are, but certainly not all. So when I hear arguments like ACAB, "All Cops Are Bad", I get really disturbed, because that is simply not a rational or reasonable point of view. That is a case of turning these small number (I say that lightly) of very sensationalistic, over the top instances of clear racism and injustice, and making it seem like that is the majority of the cases, when that is going to hurt the work of a lot of the justice focused and well-acting police officers in the force.
At this point, I'd like to cite one of the favorite books I've read, Coddling of The American Mind by Jonathan Haidt, who talks in his book about black and white thinking and how thinking emotionally can lead to untruths and incorrect points of view (not trying to call anybody out!! :) . In one of his chapters of the book he spends time outlining the uses of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (and I took some notes here explaining the concept, just ctrl+f Dichotomous Thinking), which is a very popular form of therapy concerned with handling the potentially catastrophizing nature of the mind, which will jump from one end of the spectrum to the other at any time. (An aside, so far this post and returning to CBT has actually been really helpful to me haha, because I am an extreme user of Black and White thoughts at this time in my life) In this case, with the Black Lives Matter movement, we are clearly seeing a groupthink mentality, which even if is in place for a noble and just cause, is not fully addressing the other side of the argument, that there are police officers doing their jobs and this interferes with that. In this case, it appears moreso to me that the mind is latching onto again, the sensationalist, intense stimuli that is presented  in terms of the horrible events around George Floyd and others, and it is letting that overrule and control all further decision making. Again, this is one of the mind patterns that is treated for in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an extremely widely used form of therapy.
I think I'll wrap things up for now here, I'm sure I've offended enough people and my point is hopefully stated clearly. I am sorry to go against the grain, I just really feel passionately that there are two sides to this story, and this #BlackoutTuesday and BLM movement is one that is not fully addressing what is actually happening, as opposed to following the widely spread news and video content that is much more attention grabbing. I would encourage anyone to please read The Coddling of The American Mind, or skim through the notes I took as it presents some really concerning and factual information about how movements in our nation are trending towards extremes that may not be rooted in reality. That is all, hope you enjoy your day!
