Restaurants wichita falls tx

My friend is getting married and we are headed (from Wichita) to KC on June 21st-23rd.
We are trying to plan a fun and relaxing bachelorette party.
I wanted to hear from you about fun events, spas, restaurants, brunch places, coffee shops, shops in general that we should check out!
Any hidden gems we should check out?

When I look around my university what do I see, the same type of guys with girls. I see a lot of fucking ugly guys like me all alone. I kind of suspected it but when I was taking biology we learned about how mating works and that looks is just part of evolution. It makes perfect sense. If you are an ugly guy why would a girl ever like you. I’ve listened to girls talk about how their boy friends mis treat them and cheated and yet they were still into these men. It’s because they were attractive and tall. I don’t see the point in becoming a servant to a women who’s never going to be attracted to me. The last girl I seriously talked to did like my personality and then she would keep making remarks about how I’m too short and all that. She’d tell me she liked me and then keep making remarks how she thinks I’m too ugly to date. Of course people will say you don’t want to date someone like this anyways. Which is true, but they are almost all like this everyone is shallow. I also can’t stand how easy girls can enjoy the dating world. They can be autistic they can be fat they can be so inept they can’t decide what restaurant to go to. None of this stops them from dating men. They can fall have relationships decide to dump the guy on a whim and get into another relationship even with a guy who is fit and normal and they are not. I’m supposed to think they have life so much harder when they have a whole giant aspect opened wide open for them to enjoy.
I’m not fat and I don’t dress like a hobo or whatever weird shit you’d assume. What am I supposed to think when I’m continually rejected for being myself. That I’m a terrible person and this is why? That’s what I see online when I search about the subject. Maybe the world is just fucked. Maybe everyone is shallow. Maybe dating dynamics are fucked and they have the privilege. The only people who wanted me were old gay men because I was young. Idk why I exist if I’m just a genetic dead end. I work I study what’s the point. No one to enjoy it with. I’m wrong to be resentful when I see people who have nothing but good looks succeed and find love? And then my girl “friends” will make fun of me for being single and call me ugly. They clearly don’t give a fuck about guys like me. Yet if I were 6’2 and had a symmetrical face it would be different.

Took a day trip and wrote this around 9:30PM. Enjoy.
Everyone has those dreams they want to accomplish in a lifetime. The ones that seem so far fetched but still obtainable. In my case it has always been on my bucket list to travel every corner of Texas. I have been blessed in my 27 years of life to have gone as far north to see the Panhandle plains near Amarillo and as far east to see Huntsville surrounded by the piney woods. I’ve been able to see the Third Coast from H-Town through Corpitos, down to McAllen and Harlingen. I’ve drank on 6th Street in ATX, and have had countless nights I couldn’t remember in San Anto. I’ve seen a Cowboys game in Arlington while staying in Dallas with family, and I’ve floated down the rivers in San Marcos with friends. I know the backroads of South Texas between Uvalde and Laredo, like the back of my hand, and if I needed too, I could probably drive between El Paso and Fort Stockton blindfolded. In the past 4 years, I’ve spent the majority of the 100,000 miles I’ve driven, on Texas highways and county roads. Passing through small towns that people would never know existed, such as Dryden, Camp Wood, Orla, Goliad, and Dilley, where my son lives. There’s so many other cities and towns I could name which would take up the majority of this story and bore you but there is one area of Texas that I’ve always wanted to see with my own eyes and be able to experience it all. This place is actually a lot closer than many of the places I mentioned. It’s pretty much the next door neighbor to my hometown of El Paso.
On December 28, 2023, I was finally able to see it. Big Bend and Terlingua. As I was driving into the national park I stopped at the park’s entrance sign and took a typical picture in front of it like everyone does, but after, I turned back down the road, made a right and drove 28 miles to La Linda. I did this all without having a GPS or signal on my phone after I lost it passing Marathon which about an hour or so from the park entrance. I followed the old green highway signs down a road that you could tell was hardly used because of all the weeds and brush growing in the middle and side of the road. I was probably the only truck on the road with the expection of two trucks going the opposite direction that had passed me. I kept going until the road ended at a blocked off bridge that only a small car could drive over. The only time I had ever seen this place was through Google Maps when I’d sit there looking at random places that you’d think no one would ever go. I got off my truck and look around, it was quiet but the sound of the river is what got me. It was surreal to say that across that bridge was Mexico and the river I heard was the Rio Grande, which surprisingly had water in it and wasn’t dry like the way it is in El Paso. As I was looking at the graffiti on the bridge I noticed a part of it said “Chuco Town” which I though was weird because why would some slang from El Paso be tagged on some random bridge literally in the middle of nowhere. So I got curious and ended up making my way down underneath the bridge where I found this clear box with a small notebook in it. Several people had written in it with their names and when they had visited the bridge. It was like an Easter egg. I wrote my name in the book, put it back and went to go look for a way to get to the river but I couldn’t because of all the bushes and trees. I spent like a good hour looking around before getting back to my truck. I ended up driving about two hours to the Big Bend National Park Headquarters where I finally got signal on my phone. The drive into the Chisos Basin was beautiful. The color of the rocks and trees made it feel as if it was still the Fall season. The canyons were huge, the road curved through the mountains, the air hitting me through the windows was fresh. Seeing the amount of trees, for the mountain range being in the middle of a desert was crazy. Again, I only spent about an hour or so before driving through the park and into Terilingua. As I drove to Terlingua, the scenery changed drastically. It went from mountains covered in trees to something out of a Mad Max scene. It was nothing but desert with little plant life. I ended up stopping at a gas station where two the highways met. One would take me to Alpine and the other to the Terlingua ghost town. After fueling up, I drove through the ghost town to find a couple of restaurants open. I ended up eating some green enchiladas that were good but nothing compared to the ones found in El Paso. I continued to drive down the highway towards Presidio as the sun started to set. About half way to Presidio, I turned back around to head back. By this time it was 7pm. The sun had almost set completely. I pulled over to the side of the road so I could look at the sky. I had heard so many stories and seen so many pictures of the Terlingua night sky. I wanted to see if it was real. As I stepped out and looked up I saw more stars than I could ever imagine. Everything around me was pitch black, except the sky. There were hundreds of stars, they were brighter than ever. There were no clouds. I stayed looking at them for a good minute, actually I stayed looking up so long I ended up laying in the bed of my truck trying to take it all in. I ended having to go back into my truck because of the cold. Even with a thick hoodie and thermals underneath I couldn’t stay out any longer. I continued my drive back to the gas station where I had first put gas so I could type this out before my plan to head back into Big Bend. I only arrived about 8 hours ago, drove down to the La Linda bridge, drove through the national park, drove through the ghost town and saw a night sky many wont get to see in their lifetime but maybe on this drive back, I’ll be able to find the moon.

Last year Fall, I met two men, both friends. I found them very sweet and friendly. I didn’t think anything much of them. The friendship grew and certain interest developed but I was not sure which one I liked more. After a few months they hosted a party at their house (they are also roommies). I got so drunk, one of them (man A) offered his room, he later joined me later that night. He made moves, but I insisted I had to be sober for anything to happen. The next day he visited me at my place and we talked of our interest and stuff and agreed to take it slow. He later came the next day and one thing led to another, we did it. I traveled to another country for a month then came back. We kept talking the whole time and most of our conversation was how we’d hang out and couldn’t wait to explore places together. I returned during the peak of Winter so there was really nothing much to do outside. We mostly hand indoors. We one day hang out the three of us during the winter and I realized me and the other guy(man B) had so much in common and we had the same sense of humor. Man B also mentioned that he has a girlfriend. Later that night I suggested to Man A to ask his friend if he would be open to a double date. He said he’d ask. He never did.
Winter passed and it got warmer, the guy I chose never took me out on a date. I had to insist we hang outside his apartment/my apartment. He once agreed to take me to a park near his place, he kept complaining the whole time, we spent less than 1 hour in the park. There was once I went to the movies by myself, he never picked his phone that time. Earlier this month I asked him twice if he was okay to go grab ice-cream(my treat), he agreed and stood me up both times. I called him told him how much that hurt and how we never leave the apartment. I stopped hanging out at his place for about a week he called me and took me to a restaurant near his place, btw he was insisting we get take out and eat at his place. Man B and his girlfriend achieved something this month, I’m fond of the girl. I suggested to her that we could take them out to celebrate, she asked her man and said yes. I told my guy and he said that’s fine but didn’t ask any details or suggest any places. So I took matters to my own hands and planned everything. I chose a place I have always wanted/suggested to try when with him. We had dinner and it all was well. We all had fun, they loved the place. My man claimed he had never heard of the place. During the dinner, it all hit me that man A takes me for granted, he’d talk to everyone very calmly and politely apart from me. He never behaves like a gentleman, Man B would treat me and his girlfriend with so much respect(he’s such a gentleman). There was a moment we were left together on the booth, myself and man B and he hinted to me that I was too good for his friend. I felt shame. Afterwards we all hang out at their apartment, everything was fun. After some minutes my man left the room without excusing himself and went to sleep in his room. He later called me after midnight and asking me if I had got back to my place safely. Told him I had not left but I was about to leave, I went to his room to bade him goodbye and pay him back for half of the bill for the diner earlier(as we had agreed). He thanked me for choosing such a wonderful place for diner then he asked me if I could spend the night being all touchy and romantic. I told him I want a break up. He never said anything. He’s been calling me asking about my day and inviting me at his place.

To start - the photo album - https://photos.app.goo.gl/m816j6qm54nRQ5uw8
I'm a little bit late writing this up, some things won't be relevant any more, apologies. This itinerary is for someone who likes to be out doing stuff all day every day, most people will find it way too full on. If you are also like this, though, I'd say it was well-planned, I never felt overly rushed, though I could've maybe done with an extra half hour here and there (this is more a problem with Paris' need to book everything a month in advance with a specific timeslot than my planning). I found the people to be very friendly, and never had any trouble communicating - though my French is passable, most people switched to English quite quickly, and not just customer-facing staff but even people I stopped to ask for directions from.
Wednesday 25th October Finished work slightly early to get the Eurostar at 18:01 from London St Pancras. 2.5 hour train (and lose an hour to time zones). The hotel was near Place de la Republique, so walkable from Gare du Nord (Hotel Mimosa - cheapest hotel available when we booked. No complaints, nice staff, really clean, didn't try the breakfast). Only had time to check into our hotel and have a quick drink nearby (the end of the PSG game was on).
Thursday 26th October Disney! I wasn't sure about it since it was the middle of French school holidays, and there were certainly some long queues, but my friend insisted and I'm glad we did (although only because I went twice as a kid, if you don't have the nostalgia I don't think it's worth it on a busy day - one year I spent Christmas eve/day here with my mam and had Christmas dinner at the Cinderella inn). We went to Gare du Nord early to buy Navigo Decouverte passes (even though the week runs Mon-Sun and we arrived midweek it's still the best option, no faff with the little paper ticket booklets, covers as far as Disney/Versailles, and is pretty cheap), got the metro over and made it for almost gates opening. Got really lucky and managed to book a table for 2 at Bistrot Chez Remy (the Ratatouille themed restaurant) for the evening whilst on the train there (do this on the Disneyland app), even then the restaurant is only about a 6.5/10 but it's amazing compared to your walk-up options, I'd suggest trying to book one of the better ones a few weeks in advance (be aware of prices though!). The main park is exactly as I remember with one or two Star Wars things shoehorned in, the Studios park is completely different though - before it was all "behind-the-scenes" type stuff, now it's "everything we own that isn't Disney" (so half the park is painted Marvel, half of it is painted Pixar). Particularly sad the Armageddon experience is gone, as well as the statue of Mickey holding Walt Disney's hand. Last time I was here, Crush's Coaster had just opened so was 2 hour queues and I never got to ride it, and somehow 17 years later they haven't shortened. Maybe next time? Rides close at 10 but we stayed for the fireworks, was quite late getting back.
Friday 27th October Slightly later start, easy morning finding somewhere for breakfast, didn't have to be at the Louvre until 11:30. We tried the side entrance that I've seen mentioned on here a few times, don't think it works any more though. The queue to get in even for timed tickets is enormous, thought we'd be stuck there for hours but dead on 11:30 it started moving, and we were past security and into the main hall in about 20 minutes. Made a beeline for the Mona Lisa, having read about a lengthy queue we'd discussed just getting a drive-by/glimpse of it rather than waste the day, but actually there were about 50 people in the pen ahead of us (which is about 10 people wide) and we were at the front in maybe 5 minutes? My photo of it is timestamped 12:02. Saw the Winged Victory, didn't see Liberty Leading the People as it was down for restoration, but it should be back by the time you're reading this. The place is huge and I definitely missed loads (forgot to try and find Napoleon's apartment). I do like art but I found lots of this to be a drag - I like colourful/interesting stuff, but find portraits of old generals and paintings of Jesus incredibly tedious after a while. Glad I went, not sure I'll return though. I budgeted 3 hours which was pretty much perfect for me. Next stop Saint-Chapelle - the windows are as beautiful as you imagine. I've seen a lot of people saying it's a waste of time and money - it is very expensive for what it is, it is just the one room, depending on your budget it might not be for you, but if like me you're happy to chuck money at stuff when on holiday it's absolutely worth the time. I think we stopped at a cafe at this point? One of the typical Parisian ones, where you sit facing out onto the street. Afterwards we walked over to see Notre Dame (still closed due to the fire) and then down into the Latin Quarter. We stumbled upon a free street art exhibition just across from the Pantheon which I really enjoyed, then started looking around for an early dinner - which turns out to be quite challenging in Paris, nowhere opens before 7 it seems, but we did find an Italian place nearby. We needed to get to the Stade de France for 9 so the plan was to be south of the city to make sure we get onto the metro before it gets into the centre and fills up - needn't have bothered though, lots of trains, never got too packed, as organised as any other modern stadium, just aim to be at least 30 minutes early and you can't go wrong. Rugby World Cup 3rd place game - England beat Argentina 26-23, looked like it might be a walkover early on but it turned into a really tight game, great warmup for the main event. Second dinner at Au Pied du Cochon, the 24hr restaurant that gets mentioned on here a lot.
Saturday 28th October Started at Musee d'Orsay, 10:30 entry. This museum is much more to my taste, and a manageable size. The impressionist stuff is all up on the 5th floor and is spectacular, I have never before (and will probably never again) go to a gallery where I instantly recognise so many things! This was a particularly incredible experience as they also had a Van Gogh exhibition on at the time (focused on his works at the end of his life, when he was living in France and his work was becoming very sinister - sadly no longer on) and I'd just recently taken my mam to the immersive Van Gogh experience in Edinburgh as part of her 60th. The other exhibition was Louis Janmot's Poem of the Soul (a really long poem and a load of paintings to accompany each segment) which I can't claim to have heard of before, I wish I'd had a bit more time to enjoy it fully but I had other plans so only had time to look at the pictures. Catacombs were booked for 14:30 - interesting experience, I'd say worth doing but not a must. It's good to have something planned other than museums. Afterwards, had time to see Jardin du Luxembourg and Montparnasse cemetery (didn't take any pictures in here, feels wrong somehow, didn't find anyone famous anyhow), before finding dinner in Montparnasse. Then the World Cup final - South Africa v New Zealand, another very tense game! I seem to have a habit for picking rugby finals with early red cards.
Sunday 29th October Trip to Versailles, 12:00 ticket, full access. This is the one place where, even with a timed ticket, you have a long wait to get in. I got in at 12:40, and I was fairly early so near the front of the queue for my timeslot. The palace itself is fine, bit nicer than my house but not worth the trip on its own, the gardens are stunning though, I spent over 2 hours in them, and still pressed on to see the other areas. My favourite was Marie-Antoinette's hamlet, the pictures don't really do it justice but it felt like I was in a fairytale. I headed back to Paris and got to the Eiffel tower just in time to see it twinkle at 7pm (it does so every hour on the hour after dark). Walked over to Trocadero (the best place to view the Eiffel tower), then along to the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysee. Took the metro up to Montmartre to go into Basilica Sacre-Coeur (free entry, and by this time no queue at all - they ask for no photographs so there's nothing in my album from inside, but there's plenty online). Ate nearby then had tickets for Moulin Rouge at 11.30 - like Saint-Chapelle, it's quite expensive, but a good time if you do decide to go. This was my most tiring day, over 35000 steps.
Monday 30th October Final day in Paris. I'd managed to get a spare ticket for Musee de l'Orangerie on an site called Headout (usually you would have to book this a while in advance, like most things in Paris, I guess someone returned one last minute? Could only get one, don't think my friend particularly wanted one anyway), 12:00 entry. I picked a route to pass a couple of landmarks - Opera Garnier, Madeleine, Obelique du Louxor. Monet's water lillies are, as you'd expect, absolutely gorgeous, and the only reason this museum exists really. There's some good stuff in the permanent collection in the basement though - I think I remember seeing a Picasso down there? I don't remember what the temporary exhibitions were at the time but I remember being unimpressed. Went back to the Eiffel tower to see it in the daylight, and stumbled upon Musee du Quai Branly. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, it's a collection of objects created by humanity when in a loosely "tribal" period? Which happened at vastly different time periods for each continent. And also there's some samurai stuff, even though Japan had a fairly well developed civilisation by the time they came around. The more you think about it the more it falls apart really, basically it's a museum full of really cool stuff. Had to rush this a little bit to catch the Eurostar (train at 17:00), was also panicking because I couldn't make contact with my friend, who had my luggage.

So I guess I fall into the stem label (sometimes I dress guyish sometimes femme whatever) I dunno think fletcher meets beveridge… but I haven’t been single since my 20’s and also haven’t bought new fits in awhile lol. I’m so sick of going to the mall to find absolutely diddly squat. Everything looks way too young and I’d like to dress my age a bit more… especially for dates with cute femme girls.
Like if I were to take someone out to a nice restaurant or little more upscale spot, where can I find these fits? Where do y’all gays be shopping??? Cause I swear every store at the mall is essentially selling all the same shit and it’s all jeans and crop tops and I need a fit that isn’t just jeans and a shirt. I also lift, so tight fitting clothes on my lower half don’t fit unless they’re stretchy. Please help. Thanks.

  • I'm a huge foodie! I love exploring all the restaurants and hidden spots in NYC especially to try out new places which includes dessert and boba spots too! My favorite foods usually start with Asian foods but I'm always open to trying new things! I’m also trying to learn how to cook as well, especially so I can meal prep meals for myself throughout the week.
  • I love exploring the city and chilling with friends, however I do like a balance going on adventures around the city/world and relaxing at home.
  • I do photography on the side. I specialize in doing portrait, food and film photography! If you'd like to see some of my work please don't hesitate to ask me!
  • I'm a gamer as well! I play games like Honkai Star Rail, Azur Lane, Nikke, LoL, TFT, Valorant, , Destiny 2, overwatch 2, Minecraft, etc. but I also own consoles such as the switch!
  • I really enjoy building different things especially Lego's, PC's and keyboards! If you want to see some pics or hear about my specs happy to talk about it! I have a massive lego collection plus plenty of unopened sets waiting to be built.
  • I’m not exactly sure if this is considered to be a hobby, but I really enjoy going to the gym. I’m not some gym rat or anything, but I am trying to lose weight and get fit so I do a mix of weightlifting and cardio whenever I go which is 5x a week haha. I’ve kept a very consistent M-F schedule for the past month and a half so far so I’m pretty happy about that.
  • I don’t really do a whole lot of this, but I however do want to make this a big part of my lifestyle which is having a better skincare routine. While I do have a very minimum skincare routine, I’d very much love to learn how to improve my skin and also fix the scarring and acne I already had. If you’re someone who knows and loves doing skincare, I’d very much love to learn from you!
  • I’m not sure if listening to music is considered a hobby, but I love listening to all kinds of music ranging from American pop modern to like kpop and jpop songs! I also really enjoy classical music too! Crazy enough I just started going to concerts last year, mainly because some of them were free for me (perks of my job) but they were super fun!

Here are some Fun Facts about me!

• I've never been out of the country before but I would love to travel more one day, especially around Asia like South Korea, China, & Japan!
• I was born on Friday the 13th!
• I played piano for about 14 years and plus I also know how to play 3 other instruments too! Can you guess what they are? Also crazy enough, I met this pianist who made song covers on youtube recently and not gonna lie, it blew my mind since i watched their videos years ago.
• I'm a pet owner! I have a dog and 4 cats.
• I know how to solve a 3x3 Rubik's cube and my fastest time was 28 seconds but that was ages ago.
• I really like to collect a lot of cute pins and stickers especially from anime or Asian theme things.
• I’ve met Eric Nam and Ronny Chieng, if you’re Asian, you’ll probably know who they are.
• This is more of a League/Valorant reference for those who play, but I have the Riot Buddy and Riot Fist Bump Ward.
• Personality wise, my friends would describe me as someone who is open-minded, wholesome, sweet, easy to talk to, outgoing, empathetic, trustworthy, etc. I will however let my actions speak for itself though! I'm a great listener as well so if you want to rant/ vent out I'm always here to listen! Honestly though I'm a pretty open person overall so you're always welcome to ask me any questions you wish to know!

Here is who and what I am looking for:

• Someone to build a genuine connection with who is willing to reciprocate the time, effort and energy, I'd put in.
• Someone who can be both a best friend and my partner.
• Someone who can grow together with me to become both a better individual but also better partners too.
• Has similar interests and values as I do! (We can discuss this more in depth later) but for example someone who values transparency, open communication, honesty, trust, loyalty, etc.
• Loves and enjoys voice/video chat - I really enjoy having my partner's presence even if we aren’t exactly talking.
• Enjoys the little things in life. Since my love language is quality time, I personally don’t expect to always do something grand whenever we’re together. I’m always more than happy to be doing grocery shopping together or even just run errands.
• Possibly a gym partner. It’d honestly be nice to have a gym partner as well to workout together.
• I'm a huge hopeless romantic and would love to meet someone who is also a hopeless romantic as well! I absolutely love doing all those cute and romantic couple things you'd always see on like Tik Tok, kdramas and/or romance shows/movies! You know things like , going on cute dates together whether that would be dates in the city or dates at home, exploring the city/ world together, trying new things together and overall just making everlasting fun cute memories together that will last a lifetime!

If you have gotten this far and you feel like we can vibe well or share some common interests please don't hesitate to hit me up! You can send me a message through reddit chat or DM's whichever you prefer. Before you do message me though please tell me about yourself and also include your ASL, favorite foods and ideal kind of date so I know you've read all of this! DO NOT message me with just "Hi", "Hey", "How are you" or any kind of low effort message. I will not bother answering your message if you do that. Also I am strictly looking for females, if you are a male, please do not bother messaging me. I can't wait to hear from you! I hope you have an amazing and wonderful day!

I haven't been in a relationship like for four years just because of all the hurts I have been thought. I wanted to work on myself and make myself happy before I head back into a relationship. I even been to within that time therapy. I decided for 2024 to get back into the relationship scene while dating I dated a couple of girls but we didn't click the me and my girlfriend clicked. We had a lot in common but we were years apart but that didn't stop us from falling in love, maybe it was lust but it was a strong feeling something that I haven't felt in a long time. And the way that she came off was a little traditional as well, which is something I was looking for.
So on our first date I brought her some rose, open her side of the door for her and took her to dinner. She was blushing a lot and everything. After dinner I took her to a nice view to see the city 🌆. It was really cold so we head back to the car then I asked if I could kiss her and she said yes. After she asks what I wanted to do I said let's get back to my place. She smiled and said that sounds good but we are not going to have sex and I said that's ok. Well we reach to my place and we start making out again and we had sex after. After we finish she we cuddling she said to me " you shouldn't have sex with anyone else" . I was like "what" ? We aren't even dating. Then we laughed and she said yes your right that's kinda weird that I said that.
So from there we had great sex ,she even told me that it felt like it was her first time. So I took her home that night. She lives 1 hours away. She was telling me that she never sleep with someone on the first date, that wasn't something she do. And she was mad at herself and was thinking I wouldn't keep taking to her. So I felt her guilt and suggested that she should come over Thursday and stay until Sunday. She was surprised and excited.
We had a great time together we when out, to Beaches and just saw different views, I take her out on a picnic, dinners. I bought her gift and she bought me gifts..And we were having amazing sex. She even called me Sex God. Sometimes we couldn't have sex back to back because she stats that her V was sore and states that she never had sex like this before. She even had to put ice pack around her V.
She told me that she was in a 5 years relationship with the guy who took her V cord but he only goes for 10mins. She said she didn't know this is what sex was like. So on that Sunday when I was taking her back home we stop at a restaurant and I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes.
We were dating for one month and about 23 days during that time. It wasn't all Sunny; I mean, we were getting to know each other. So I was willing to stay and work on our new-found relationship.
So during this period she starts saying that she doesn't feel like she's enough for me. In the bedroom, when I open up about my experiences to her.
I'm from a different country so most time after sex she makes remarks like does all the guys in your country fuck like this are have big di&ck.etc. I would like to meet them and see for myself etc. When she first said that we laughed I was like you can't even manage me for an hour. Next couple of weeks she bring it up again and I said does all the girls from your country have big ass I would like to meet them too and experience them as well. Then she was like that hurts and i was like yeah that's how I feel when you say things like that.. A couple of days when I was giving her a massage she makes another remarks like all the guys from your country have balls big balls like yours we laughed and I proceeded to finish the massage and we had sex. After that we cuddle then she said we should have a 3some I was a little shocked then I ask her why, she said because she don't think she's enough then I said ok.. Who would we have 3some with she didn't answer so I said a girl are guy? she said a guy. I was trying to get more out of her but she fall asleep on me.
I had to go to FedEx to drop something off so I dress up in gym clothes. After I went to FedEx I head to the gym and work out for an hour, then I head back home. She said "when I wakes up you were gone. I reminded her why.
I ask her about the 3some comments she made earlier, why if she felt like she wasn't enough, why having 3some with a guy will fix that. She said that she didn't think that far ahead, but I was like you said that you're an overthinking you should have think that far. Why would you say something like that without thinking about it.. and why didn't you say with a girl if you didn't feel, like you was enough for me? She said she was too jealous to say a girl because he's doesn't want to see me having sex with another girl.. and I said so your only thinking about how you feel and not me.
That doesn't make any sense. You said that you weren't enough for me, so why would we have a threesome with a guy? Shouldn't it be a girl?
So I told her I want to Break up and she got down on her knees, crying and saying how sorry she was about her stupid comment and she didn't mean.
But all of her comments has lead up to this moment.
So what should I do, and that's the same day I told her I see her as my wife and that she should tell her uncle that I was ready to have dinner with them?
We also had conversations around marriage before and she welcome it. She even jokenly said that she would proposed to me. We even goes to church together. Plus she also follows most of her traditions to the T. So I was shocked when she brings up that subject. She also said she brings up because I told her I done it before. But I told her I had 3 some with only girls and never with someone I love. She's saying how much she love me and never met to hurt me.
If you love someone this much, should 3some be brought up this early in our relationship? I'm being too sensitive? I feel worthless and unloved 💔. I didn't see this coming from her, just the way she carries herself. I don't know if I'm overreacting too much ? She keep calling on text asking for my forgiveness? I told her we break up so she can go experience the 3some but she's saying that's not what she wants, she wants me. It's just hard, don't want to find out in the future that she cheated on me down the road.

I twirl a small twister in the air in front of me. I make it dance, rise, fall, and spin around my head. I’m half-listening to the non-super crime boss who’s come to ask for our help. We’re sitting in the front for our headquarters. It’s a quaint bar on what’s been designated squarely as our part of town. Heroes won’t be caught dead on our side of the city. Or if they’re caught, they might end up dead. Same thing.
“So, what do you say, Noxus?” the large man asks. He was stout with greasy black hair and wore a cheap suit. Not quite a big shot yet, but he had the swagger to get it done. “We got ourselves a deal?”
“Let me make sure I’ve got this straight,” I say as I dismiss the small tornado. His proposal sounds intriguing. We could do so many fun things. “You want us to distract the police twice a week at various times in the middle of the night so your shipments can get moved around to your various storehouses? Is that about right?”
“That’s about the gist of it.”
“And you’ll be paying us handsomely for our time, correct? Distracting an entire police department like that is no light feat.”
“I believe our payments will be very generous, Noxus. And if this works out, we got big plans for this city. We can make an empire, spread to other cities, corrupt other super organizations, and make you the de facto kingpin of the entire global community.”
He looked eager but also remained calm. He was made for these kinds of things. He was cool, calculated, and just excited enough to make me want to help.
“No need for all of that. I’m happy with Grand City as is. Brain!” I yell behind me. “Get this man a contract. You know I hate paperwork.”
Braintrust is beside us in an instant. He has built some muscle since becoming a villain but still looks like the same old nerd he had always been to me. Our strength comes from our powers, not our bodies. “Come with me, Mr. Graziano,” he says as he leads the mobster to the back of the bar.
Another deal in place is more secured funding for the Cohort of Villains. And I’m sure everyone will love getting to cause a ruckus every week.
I turn to look at the bar, and a petite figure catches my eye. I don’t recognize them. They’ve got their hood pulled up and baggy pants and seem to be trying to stay unidentified. I don’t trust that in my place. I make eye contact with the bartender and signal toward the figure. Then, signal toward the seat across from me in my comfy booth. He nods in understanding.
I turn back to look out the window as I await my guest. This part of the city is truly beautiful. We got all the little shops and restaurants. The heroes preferred the skyscrapers and to stay in their old headquarters. Which was completely valid. I wouldn’t have it any other way, to be honest. Skyscrapers don’t impress me as much as the earnest folks who own these shops out here. I know when we approached Thomas about using his place as a front for our headquarters, he was taken aback. Then we showed him what we could do for him, and he happily obliged as long as we kept violence out of his bar—a fair request.
Which brings me back to our guest. If I didn’t recognize them, they could be looking for trouble. I haven’t killed anyone recently. Maybe today, that changes. I’ve only been back for a few months, but I’ve worked hard to get these villains under control. Robbing banks, taking CEOs hostage, smuggling things, burning a superstore down, or just interrupting heroes’ contracts. Victimless crimes, really. If someone is here to stir up trouble, I’ll nip that in the bud very quickly.
Finally, the hooded guest is pushed into the booth across from me. It took three people to get them here. They must not be eager to meet me, but they’re also not eager to use their powers if they have any. I wave them off as the hooded figure looks down.
“Take the hood off,” I order.
“No,” the figure says. A woman’s voice. That narrows it down to half the city.
“I’m not asking. Take the hood down, or I take your head. And I have an agreement to no violence in this bar, so I’m not threatening you lightly.”
“Ugh, Charlotte was right. You are a hard ass.” My ears perk up hearing Charlotte’s name. So she’s a hero, whoever she is. But she doesn’t remove her hood. She does, however, look up at me. I immediately recognize her by her blue hair. Two. Probably the most powerful superhero in the entire League.
“Let’s not get ugly here. I like this place.”
“I have no intention of starting any fights. Especially not with you. We didn’t even know you were back. Of course, we heard the whispers, but we thought they were just rumors. But you’re really here. Are you the mysterious new Cohort leader?”
“I am. Tell your whole League. Any show of excessive force will be met in kind. My people are under strict orders not to kill any of yours unless absolutely necessary.”
“Well, that’s nice to know. Even though they just killed a CEO of a major corporation last week.” She adjusts uncomfortably in her seat. She’s uneasy. Why would she come here if she’s so uncomfortable about it?
“I care not for the lives of citizens. What brings you here, Two?”
She immediately raises her hand up to shush me. “Don’t fucking announce it, you dolt.”
“So you don’t want everyone to know?” I ask. I’m not surprised, but a little caught off guard. She has nothing to fear here. Except for me, of course. “Why the secrecy? Surely, you’re not afraid of anyone in the Cohort.”
“I’m not, but I don’t want to upset the peace either,” she whispers through gritted teeth. “And this place has the best lager in town by far. Like, a fuck ton. I sneak down here sometimes and get a pint or two before fucking off back uptown. The bartender knows me; I’ve been a customer of his since I was in high school.”
I sit back, slightly amused. She’s willing to risk a fight just for some alcohol. “Any other heroes come for the best lager in town? Or maybe they hit Antonio’s for the world-famous stuffed shells? Ooh, or Tres for the best burritos in the entire city? We have all the good food on our side.”
“Charlotte wears a wig and dresses like a homeless person to hit Tres sometimes. The only one I know of brave enough to come over here other than me.”
“I could give you a pass, you know,” I say with a smirk. “Tell everyone you and Charlotte are off-limits unless you instigate.”
“And why in the world would you do that for, Noxus? The goodness of your heart?”
“Because Charlotte deserves a break,” I say coolly. “And I’d hate to make you angry. Possibly the only super in the entire city that could give me a run for my money if I don’t kill you instantly.”
“I could take you, Noxus,” she says with an edge that tells me she’s still uneasy about all of this.
“Maybe time will tell,” I say as I try to ease the tension. Emote’s powers would come in handy right about now. “In the meantime, what do you say? You can come and go as you please. Charlotte may come and go as she pleases. None of your other boardmates, I’m afraid. I don’t like how Pharaoh smells, Thronemaker’s an asshole, and Viper gives me the creeps.”
“No bullshit? One hundred percent immunity from the whole Cohort?”
“One hundred percent. But if you betray my trust, I must insist we test your theory of being able to take me.”
“What do you want in return?” she asks.
“Permission to live in my parent’s old house. They left it to me when they died, and I sold it when I left the city. It’s up for sale again. I want to buy it and live in it.”
“Let me guess, it’s in our territory?”
“If it were in mine, I wouldn’t need the permission.”
“I’ll talk to the Board.”
“Thank you. Come back when you’ve made your decision. I’ll tell the Cohort you and Charlotte are off-limits tonight.”

Hi everyone! I am desperately looking for someone to take over my lease at NTX Denton Apartments, 101 E Daugherty St, Denton, TX, from Fall 2024 to july 2025 It's a new, fully furnished 4x4 unit with utilities included. The place has fantastic amenities: a pet park, stainless steel appliances, indoor and outdoor gyms, and a saltwater pool. It's really close to UNT and TWU, with a bus that stops every 20 minutes.
Rent is $879/month, all utilities included and fully furnished. message me if interested :)

Last year, during Fall, I met two men, both friends. I found them very sweet and friendly. I didn’t think anything much of them. The friendship grew and certain interest developed but I was not sure which one I liked more. After a few months they hosted a party at their house (they are also roommies). I got so drunk, one of them (man A) offered his room, he later joined me later that night. He made moves, but I insisted I had to be sober for anything to happen. The next day he visited me at my place and we talked of our interest and stuff and agreed to take it slow. He later came the next day and one thing led to another, we did it. I traveled to another country for a month then came back. We kept talking the whole time and most of our conversation was how we’d hang out and couldn’t wait to explore places together. I returned during the peak of Winter so there was really nothing much to do outside. We mostly hand indoors. We one day hang out the three of us during the winter and I realized me and the other guy(man B) had so much in common and we had the same sense of humor. Man B also mentioned that he has a girlfriend. Later that night I suggested to Man A to ask his friend if he would be open to a double date. He said he’d ask. He never did.
Winter passed and it got warmer, the guy I chose never took me out on a date. I had to insist we hang outside his apartment/my apartment. He once agreed to take me to a park near his place, he kept complaining the whole time, we spent less than 1 hour in the park. There was once I went to the movies by myself, he never picked his phone that time. Earlier this month I asked him twice if he was okay to go grab ice-cream(my treat), he agreed and stood me up both times. I called him told him how much that hurt and how we never leave the apartment. I stopped hanging out at his place for about a week he called me and took me to a restaurant near his place, btw he was insisting we get take out and eat at his place. Man B and his girlfriend achieved something this month, I’m fond of the girl. I suggested to her that we could take them out to celebrate, she asked her man and said yes. I told my guy and he said that’s fine but didn’t ask any details or suggest any places. So I took matters to my own hands and planned everything. I chose a place I have always wanted/suggested to try when with him. We had dinner and it all was well. We all had fun, they loved the place. My man claimed he had never heard of the place. During the dinner, it all hit me that man A takes me for granted, he’d talk to everyone very calmly and politely apart from me. He never behaves like a gentleman, Man B would treat me and his girlfriend with so much respect(he’s such a gentleman). Afterwards we all hang out at their apartment, everything was fun. After some minutes my man left the room without excusing himself and went to sleep in his room. He later called me after midnight and asking me if I had got back to my place safely. Told him I had not left but I was about to leave, I went to his room to bade him goodbye and pay him back for half of the bill for the diner earlier(as we had agreed). He thanked me for choosing such a wonderful place for diner then he asked me if I could spend the night being all touchy and romantic. I told him I want a break up. He never said anything. He’s been calling me asking about my day and inviting me at his place.

Hello All! I have some business meetings that I'm helping plan, and I REEEEALLY need help!!!
I'm looking for recommendations for restaurants that have private rooms that can hold 30-ish people comfortably.
We prefer Fairfax, Fairfax City, or Centreville for a location, however we are 10000% open to other areas.
(Manassas, Great Falls, Ashburn, Woodbridge, Alexandria, and Arlington I think are too far for folks.)
We don't care if it's in a mall, stripmall, or it's a standalone restaurant, I'm just looking in particular for private rooms and decent parking.
Since it's a business meeting and not something like an engagement party, it doesn't need to be anything fancy and hopefully not something that will break the bank (like under maybe $25/person, but less is GREAT! Oh, and it doesn't have to be the whole menu that's accessible to the group, it can be just certain items, but that a good selection of the menu be in that price range or under).
Thank you in advance to anyone and everyone that has any suggestions or leads that may help us!!! 🙏
************ THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL SUGGESTIONS SO FAR!!! ************

Not finished yet but nearly done just need to know if it's decent.
Spider-Man VS The Punisher
A man walking his footsteps sounds like mini explosions as a row of computers with people typing on them. The man stops upon a window looking down to a glass cage with yellow electricity emerging from it.
“He's here, he's taking us all out. We need back up. Noooo.” The man looks at one of the scientists saying “wait for him to get here.” The man cleans up his suit and tightens his tie.
“Ohhh you're getting dressed up just for me. I shoulda brought flowers.” The man looks up where he sees a man in a red and blue webbed suit. “I should have killed you years ago. Well after today you will be.” “We both know that's not going to happen Willy. I'll arrest you and you'll escape, Rinse and repeat, it's always been like that.” The man grinds his teeth and grips his hands. “Unleash him.” the scientist looks at him and then at the computer pressing a button.
“Unleash him Fisk are you cheating on me with another hero.” as he says this a bolt of lightning strikes through the glass levitating in front of him. “You must be Spiderman. I'm electro, the man that's been tasked to kill you.” Spider-Man whispers to himself. “This guy's making my spider sense go crazy. I don't think this will go well.” he coughs then says. “Shouldn't you be at the circus.” Electro looks at Fisk and says “Leave Mister Fisk now.” Fisk and the scientists walk out into an elevator. “Don't disappoint me Max.” The elevator goes up with Spider-Man and Electro looking at each other “So electricity man are we gonna start.” He looks down to his hands where they start to glow brighter with electricity shooting out. BANG electricity shoots out his hand Spider-Man just dodging it. BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG Spider-Man narrowly dodges the bolts. He creates a continuous line of lightning towards Spider-Man. Cracking Peter tries to dodge it but fails on the ground Peter feels his muscles shut down. Electro walks over to him, shocking him again. “Ahhhhhhh.” He stops Spider-Man trying to crawl away BANG “AHHHHHH.” An alarm goes off as sprinklers also go off hitting Electro causing him to grunt.
Spider-Man using this crawls up a wall into a vent leaving the building Spider-Man takes off his mask feeling the rain hit his face. He hears Fisk talking to Electro below. “Is the job done.” “No, he escaped. The sprinklers set off burning my skin.” “You let him escape. I gave you one job and failed me." Electro looks at him sternly saying “Mister Fisk you gave me these powers and you want me to kill Peter I will. You know where he lives, I can go over there and kill him and his family.” “You will do no such thing. He will not try to kill us if we just go after him he won't understand.” Electro nods and walks away with an umbrella.
Spider-Man looks at his web shooters. “Great, they're gonna have to get the train. May's gonna kill me when I get back.”
Brooklyn, New York, 21:32
“PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T DO IT. I HAVE A FAMILY LOOK. PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING. WHAT DO YOU WANT MONEY, POWER.” A man shouts breaking down in fear of whoever is trying to kill him. “I want to know why you do it. Why commit crime when there's hundreds of heroes. I think I know why though. They won't kill, they won't just take the godam leap and end you scumbags. So I chose to do it myself.” The man says in a deep voice wrapping a cord around his neck. He picks him up, showing him a fifteen floor drop. “No, no, please don't do this.” He starts to cry as looks at him blankly, throwing off the building with him screaming for about three seconds till the man hears a snap. “Good Riddens.”
Queen's, New York, 9:29 pm
Walking into a house a teenager walks in “Peter where have y- My god what happened to you?” Peter looks at his aunt and says “Some people tried to rob me, it's alright May.” “Did they take anything? Did you call the police.?” “No and no May I'm fine May.” He looks at May. “I'll call the police.” “DON'T. I never saw what they really looked like, you'll just waste their time.” She looks at him saying “From now on you'll be back before it gets dark.” Peter nods “Now Peter time for your cake Happy Eighteenth Peter.” Peter looks at a cake with candles on it. He blows them out “Thanks May I'm just gonna go to my room I've had a ruff day.” May looks at him. “Are you sure you don't want some cake I've made? It's your favourite.” “I'll have some tomorrow really.” Peter walks up to his room turning on the TV playing the daily bugle. “Today Spider-Man failed to capture this so-called Lizard. I think he's just too lazy to put in any work. When the police lose a suspect their back on the streets trying to find him but Spider-Man swip swap swoops his way down and destroys peoples properties.” Peter looks at it in a rage “People would have died if i wasn't there yet I don't get thanked but hated. Why do I do this?” He looks at the picture next to his bed of him and uncle Ben. The time when he didn't worry if Aunt May would see him tomorrow. If she'll be targeted by villains. “Ben would call me stupid for doing something like this. Even more stupid I was responsible for his death. I couldn't just tell him where I was, I just had to storm out. He goes looking for me and ends up getting shot. I'm sorry Ben.”
Manhattan, New York, 06:34
“What will it be?” “Coffee, milk and two sugars.” She turns around and the man looks at his watch as he checks the time. “06:36 still have seven.” “It's ready. Have an amazing day.” he hands her a ten and leaves. He walks to an old burned building. Walking in he goes up five floors and goes towards a sniper pointing out a window. He takes a sip of his coffee checking his watch. “06:42 one minute.” A minute later a limousine drives up to a small building. A man dressed in a white and gold suit walks. “Gotcha.” BANG, a single bullet from the sniper shoots the man in the head obliterating the back of his head. He walks away with screams of people running and people shouting. “It's him, Punisher, he's here.” Pointing their pistols in the air looking where the shot came from.
Queen's, New York, 7:45 am
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BE-. Bang Peter hits his alarm destroying it. “Uhh, great way to start the day.” Peter goes to the bathroom brushing his teeth. He leaves the bathroom getting changed into his new clothes then goes to check on his web shooters. “Thank god for the science lab.” Checking his costume he sees it burnt and destroyed. He messages MJ to ask her to bring his spare costume she's working on. He gets his bag and web shooters going downstairs. “Hey Aunt May I'm off to school.” “Not so fast, I've got some cake for you to take.” Petter goes up to May and takes it. “Thanks May love ya bye.” Peter walks out to the school bus.
On the bus he sits next to his girlfriend Mary Jane. “My god Pete what happened to you. Also you suits in my bag.” Peter looks at her saying “New villain in town calls himself Electro.” “You've got to stop doing this Peter really you're going to kill yourself. How many villains do you have?” Peter looks down and says “Well Theirs the lizard, Shocker, Electro, Fisk, Otto Octavius and sin eater. Don't forget about the small time.” She looks at him saying “God why do I put up with you.” “Because I'm irresistible.” She smirks.
A couple hours later Peter only had two lessons left. Peter in the back of his English class looked at his web shooters making sure they still aren't broken and that he fixed them during science. Peter looks at his phone where he sees a notification from the daily bugle saying that sandman is robbing a bank. “Can I go to the bathroom?” Peter shouts. “Sure Mister Parker uh just take the pass.” Peter takes it and leaves. He goes to the janitor's closet putting on his Spidey suit and web shooters jumping out of the window. He looks at his phone while swinging. “Sometimes I wish I had a GPS in my suit instead of needing to use Oscorpe maps.” He swings wondering why sandman is robbing a bank. “He's stupid but not this stupid to rob a bank, especially during the day.” He swings across Queensboro into Manhattan.
When he arrives the swat team surrounds the area with Captain Stacey on standby. Spider-Man drops down in front of him. “Hey.” Looking up Captain Stacey talks to Spider-Man. “Spider-Man good thing you're here we need your help. Sandman has taken over the bank and he has three hostages.” Spider-Man looks at him saying. “Guess you can say things are getting out of sand.” “Sure just when you go in don't destroy much will you.” “I won't captain you know me, just get your officer's to sand back.” Spider-Man does finger guns at Captain Stacey swinging in. “Everyone shut up. I'm gonna pay it off with this score.” Spider-Man slowly swings down “It's ironic that you're named Flint. You know because flint and steel create fire and fire turns you into glass.” “WHAT.” Spider-Man sighs as he launches a kick towards him. He kicks him with Spider-Man going straight through him as this happens he webs his feet and pulls causing him to fall. He goes to punch sandman but punches him through the glass into a police car. CRASH, the police start firing at him but they do nothing. “SPIDER-MAN GET UP.” Captain Stacey shouts at spider-man. Spider-man jumps in slingshotting himself into sandman. He goes straight through him knocking sandman back as well. “Stop this Flint, think of all the good you've done.” He jumps onto the wall looking at a fire hydrant. “Like you've no that won't cut it. Ok you haven't done anything good but that doesn't mean I have to kick your ass again.” Sandman gets up. “You think you can kick my ass again. Not happening.” Spider-Man sighs. “Ok.” Spider-Man jumps down and grabs the fire hydrant and pulls. CRACK, the fire hydrant breaks splashing water all over sandman. “I told you Flint, I always win.” Flint starts to turn into a pile of wet sand. Spider-Man webs the hydrant to stop the water then walks over to Flint. Barely able to keep your normal form. “Screw you.” Spider-Man looks over at the captain. “He's all your captain enjoy.” Spider-Man jumps onto the side of a swat van. “Where do you go when you finish?” “School, besides I'm only missing one class.” Peter says this jumping and swinging away. “About ten minutes getting there. HEY I'M SWINGING HERE. Five minutes there and ten back is enough to miss english.”
Last lesson goes pretty boring for Peter. He's thinking about the lizard and how he escaped yesterday.
Bronx, New York, 15:45
“Nah he'll be here soon. The boss says after today's shipment the police are going to leave the Bronx alone.” An unknown man, clearly a gangster in a suit, is talking to another man in a suit. “Yeah, isn't he worried, though I mean what happened yesterday? You know Freddy.” One of them says “Nah, his new guy almost killed Spider-Man yesterday. He was talking about how he was crawling to escape only got away because of the sprinklers.”
BANG, BANG, The Punisher walks into a restaurant with seven men in suits in it. “HEY WHO LET THIS GUY IN.” The Punisher grabs his M4 and start to spray into a crowd killing three of them. Two of them pull out micro uzi's shooting at him. The Punisher grabs a grenade and throws it at the bar. BANG, The grenade goes and kills the two of them. The other two put their hands up and surrendered. Frank drops his AR. BANG, BANG, He shoots them with his pistol. He walks upstairs where five line a wall of AK's. The Punisher pulls out a stun grenade throwing it at them. BANG, they all drop their guns blind and staggering The Punisher walks in picking up one of their guns firing on them all. He walks to a door with the dead piled up next to it. He kicks it open to see a man in a suit. “I wondered how long it would take for you to find me, Frank. Now I have some you want and in return you'll let me go, unde-.” BANG, “No deal.” Frank starts to pack a duffel bag with money. Once he's done he lights the office on fire and leaves.
He walks to a van getting into the driver's seat. He drives for about thirty minutes to a small house. Walking in he puts the money in the pantree where about fifteen of the same bags are. He puts on the TV playing the news and works on making bullets. “Spider-Man today was responsible for the destruction of one bank. One I go to, when i wanted to go there today I realised I COULDN'T BECAUSE SPIDER-MAN HELPED SANDMAN DESTROY IT AND WHEN THE COPS SHOWED UP HE THREW HIM UNDER AND PRETENDED TO BE THE HERO. Now why do I have to pay for it? Why doesn't he? We know who Captain America is and he destroys a bank because he's civilised and not a maniac.” Frank looks at the TV turning it off and continues working.
Manhattan, New York, 4:21
“PARKER, PARKER, these photos are blurry I'll give you fifty.” Peter looks at him “Mister Jamerson I need a hundred and twenty.” “I need better pictures.” A man walks in “We need pictures Jonah.” He looks at Peter. “Ok one twenty.” He sighs a check giving it to Peter.
Peter leaves and goes to the woman working at the desk in front. “Hey Betty.” Peter gives Betty the check to Betty who gives him the money. “Thanks.” Peter leaves the daily bugle checking phone. He sees that he's missed a call from Captain Stacey. He calls him. “ you at the station up town.” “Ok but which one?” He runs into the alley next to the bugle changing into his costume swinging away. “So which one.” “You won't miss it kid really.” The call ends. “Ok, quite weird but he didn't even say why he needed me.” It takes him about thirty seconds to realise what he's about. In the distance he sees a giant ball of electricity. “Oh no.”
“Where is it?” CRACK, BANG, Electro kills three police officers. Captain Stacey tells all the police officer's to get into the building. “YOU CAN'T HIDE.” Spider-Man swings down checking the pulse of one of the dead police officers. “no. SURRENDER NOW.” Electro flies in front of him. “Or what. At least I'll get to kill you now. Peter.” Peter feels nervous looking around and Captain Stacey shouts for him to get in. “STAY INSIDE CAPTAIN.” The captain goes to one of his men. “Is it ready?” “yeah” Electro shoots electricity at spider-man. BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG. Spider-Man webs a man hole throwing it at him. Electro catches it, Spider-Man using this moment slingshots himself punching Electro multiple times. “I'M DONE PLAYING. YOU KILLED COPS I'M NOT GOING EASY.” Electro smirks at Peter creating an emp knocking Peter down. Electro drops to the ground, shocking him. “AHHHHHHH. BANG, AHHHHHHHH. BANG, AHHHHHHHH.” Electro walks up to Spider-Man who is crawling away. “Poor little Peter Parker. Once I'm done with you I'll deal with the ones you love. Rest in piece Peter Parker.” Electro charges his hands then. BANG.
Manhattan, New York, 16:23
Punisher loads his sniper talking to himself. “Really, they would kill me immediately. At least I'll kill this freak.” He toggles with the scope. “SURRENDER NOW.” “He won't do that kid” he waits for a clear shot. “YOU KILLED COPS I'M NOT GOING EASY.” he waits for his moment. Bang “AHHHHHHH.” Electros hands start to charge he lifts them. “bang.” BANG. A single bullet goes through the chest of Electro. Frank picks up his sniper and walks downstairs.
Walking down he sees Electro holding his chest on the ground and Spider-Man next to him barely alive. The Punisher walks up to Electro with a knife. “No please d-dont do this.” He gets close to Electro as tries to crawl away. The Punisher grabs him and turns him around. Fear in Electros eye's “Once I'm done with you I'll deal with your loved one's.” “No please.” The Punisher stabs him in the throat, killing him. “You know kid stay away from fisk for the next couple of days you understand. Deal with that giant lizard terrorising the city. Got me Parker.” Peter just looks as he starts to lose consciousness. “Good.” Gorge Stacey and his men leave the building telling The Punisher to surrender. He walks away as no one dares goes to arrest him. Gorge gets his men to help Peter.
Manhattan, New York, 7:32 pm
“You've got to take it easy kid. The doctors said you could have died.” Peter listens to Captain Stacey saying. “I know but with this guy out there, bloods gonna spill in the streets.” The Captain sighs. “So what are you going to do.” Peter coughs “I'm going to try and find the lizard first.” “Stay safe kid.” Peter jumps of the empire state building swinging through the city calling MJ to tell May he's staying at hers tonight.
Thirty minutes Later Peter hears on the police radio that a giant lizard is destroying Oscorpe. Swinging over he feels the stitches in him starting to rip.
When he arrives he sees a fire and a chunk of the side of the building gone. He swings in where fire and dead security guards are. “W-who is he?.” He hears a continuous clicking sound. “There aren't any alien space hunters down there, ha ha.” He laughs nervously. Suddenly a human sized lizard runs towards him trying to eat him. He dodges jumping on a wall “Hey I'm from the zoo, they said a lizard needed to be put down. That doesn't make sense. I don't kill. Hey no bitey.” He sees on the lab coat he's wearing it says Dr Connors. Still dodging “Connor's wait Curt Connors how did you. AHHH.” The Lizard scratches Spider-Man across the chest leaving a claw mark. Spider-Man looks up and sees him jumping to bite him. Spider-Man cartwheels backwards into a jump webbing his head and face planting him. “If you chill out I'll give you a box of insects to eat.” The Lizard gets up. “AHHHHHHHH.” Spider-Man looks at him. “Uh I don't know what to say to that. Raw maybe." As Spider-Man gets ready to attack, the Lizard's left arm starts to turn grey. It looks at it and runs away. Spider-Man swings after him through the streets of Manhattan “YOU MIGHT UGLY BUT I'M FINE WITH IT YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN.” As he swings the lizard throws a hotdog stand at him. He webs it to a wall and keeps swinging. “SERIOUSLY A HOTDOG STAND IF YOU DON'T STOP I'LL TURN YOU INTO A LIZARD DOG. WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.” The lizard goes into an alley into a sewer. Spider-Man follows him slingshotting himself in shouting. “YEAAAAH.”
Inside of the sewers Peter looks around and sees only one way forwards. He crawls ol the walls seeIng the destruction Connor's did. “UH MISTER CONNOR'S, CURT, LIZARD, ANYONE. AM I JUST TALKING TO MYSELF, YES, why did I shout that.” He keeps crawling till he hears shouting. “PLEASE I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.”
Manhattan, Sewers, New York, 19:28
“Where is this freak? This vermin to society.” The Punisher walks through the sewers trying to find the rat killing innocent people. “HISSSS.” He hears a hiss and feels something watching him. “SHOW YOURSELF YOU FREAK OF NATURE.” A black figure crawls out from the shadow. “Tries to hurt me, hurt Edward. AHHHH.” He hisses and screams at him. He goes to attack him but The Punisher unloads bullets from his M4. Vermin shouts in pain “AHHHHHHHH.” Frank slowly followed him. “YOU CAN'T RUN VERMIN. I'LL KILL YOU MATTER WHAT. I'LL DO WHATEVER, YOU'RE COWARD THAT PREY ON THE WEAK.” “Vermin doesn't prey on the weak. I DON'T HAVE CONTROL, AHHHH. Vermin needs to eat, Edward needs to live.” he scurries away. After a minute of walking he arrived in a circular area where Vermin threw him in. “AHHHHH. Vermin will kill you now.” Frank picks his M4 up again, shooting him. He screams crawling up the wall. The Punisher pulls the trigger when vermin is above it and doesn't do anything. He checks the mag to see it's empty. Vermin drops down Scratching Frank across the face. He pulls out his pistol shooting him in the eye. “AHHHHHH, AHHHHH.” Frank goes up and shoots him on the head, killing him.
He hears a scream further down. Going down the tunnel he sees lab equipment and a lizard transforming into a person. “The Lizard, perfect timing.” Limping, he goes over to The Lizard waiting for him to transform. “AHHHHH, AHHHHHHHHH, HELP PLEASE, AHHHHHHH.” Frank just stands there till he transforms. He pulls his pistol out and points it at Connor's. “You're the lizard. What's your name? WHAT YOUR NAME?” “Connor's. Dr Curtis Connors.” Frank starts to pull the triggers. “PLEASE I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.”
Peter drops down in front of him webbing his pistol. “We don't kill people, understand.” The Punisher grits his teeth “Back off kid really.” “So you can kill him. Like you did Electro. You told me you were going against Fisk, why are you going for The Lizard.” The Punisher smirks at Peter, making nervous. “I wasn't here for him. It's just a coincidence.” Peter stands there wondering what's next. The Punisher runs towards him Peter jumps over him kicking him in the back. The Punisher hits his head knocking him to the ground Peter uses this to web him up.
“Ok we need to get outta here understand.” Connor's nods and starts to pack his stuff. “I won't kill you kid.” Peter looks at him. “Good because neither will I.” “I'm ready Spider-Man.” Curt says to Peter “Alright let's get outta here.” Peter swings Curt Connors out of the sewers
Manhattan, New York, 8:53 pm
“Ok you need a cure. Uhh, I've got it. I'll take you to the Baxter building. Reed can help you.” Connors thinks. “What if he finds me?” Peter sighs. “It's probably got more security than the raft and it's got four of the best heroes in the world in there.” Connors agrees and Peter swings him there.
When he gets there they walk in. Peter shouts. “REED YOU HERE. REED RICHARDS.” “Peter.” They turn around to see Sue. “Hey Miss Richard's I need your help.” She looks at Peter then at Connor's “What's wrong Peter are you in trouble.” Peter looks at her then Connors. “Not me. Have you ever heard of The Punisher?” She looks confused. “Uhh no why.” “He's trying to kill him. He needs a secure place to stay. And he needs a cure to stop him from turning into a lizard.” She looks. “What about you? Will he kill you?” He sighs “No he won't. He just wants to kill villains.” She looks at Connors saying “Reed is out but he'll be back soon he can make you a cure. Be safe Peter this stuff doesn't end well.” Connor's looks at Peter “Thanks Parker I would never expect you to be a superhero. Miss Richards, can you get my family?”
Peter leaves, going to the top of the Baxter building for some peace. “I'm too tired. I just want to go home but I need to find Fisk.” He checks the wound Connor's left. “I'm losing too much blood. My costume is destroyed and I helped the guy escape death. How am I going to explain this to May my wounds? I can't believe it. First day as an adult and I might not live to see the second. Uncle Ben must think I'm stupid.” He shakes his head. “I've got to go to Fisk tower and warn him.” Peter swings to Fisk tower.
Manhattan, New York, 9:01pm
Spider-Man arrives feeling light headed. He swings up to the office where Fisk and his men are sitting. He opens the door, his men immediately pointing their guns at him. “DROP YOU WEAPONS.” Fisk tells his men. Reluctantly they do Peter Limping towards him. “I need to warn you. A guy, a guy is uh is uh going to kill you.” His voice started to slur and he was barely able to keep his eyes open.” Fisk walks towards him. “You two get the medics now.” Peter falls unconscious.
Waking up Peter wonder's where he is looking around and he sees medical equipment. He gets up and walks through a pair of doors into a room full of men and Fisk working at a desk. “You're awake. You've been out for nine hours.” Peter realises that his face is exposed and Fisk notices this. “We all know who you are, Parker.” Peter walks up to him. “Why did you save me? You're goon tried to kill me yesterday.” Fisk calmly got up saying. “Yesterday you came to warn me. I knew why because of the Punisher. When you came here you were close to death. I saved you because. I need you to defeat the Punisher. I've asked every mercenary in this city and it's the same answer. No before Punisher was a myth but now after the men he's killed. The only one who can defeat him is you.” Peter looks at him. “Who's to say I'll stop him.” “Because yesterday you came here to warn me. The only one who wants me dead that can do anything is him.” Peter looks at him. “Where's my stuff.” Fisk clicks his Fingers and one of his men comes over to Peter giving him his phone, suit and web shooters. Putting them on Peter goes to the window telling Fisk. “Thanks Fisk. You really should leave the city.” Peter swings away.
Queen's New York, 6:09 pm
Peter swings through Queens arriving at his girlfriend's house. He goes to her window knocking on it. She wakes up opening it. When Peter enters he takes off his mask. “I can't do it anymore Peter last night you never showed up. I thought you were dead. This Electro almost killed you and the lizard. Peter I ju- AHH.” She screams seeing Peter's face covered in stitches. “I'm not that ugly.” Peter jokes but MJ says. “What happened yesterday.” Peter sits down “It's a long story.”
Manhattan, New York, Sewers, Time Unknown
“DOWN HERE, THERE'S A LAB.” Two police officers walk down the sewers seeing a lab. They both walk into Connor's lab looking around. “What the hey Chris, what is this place? Chris.” Click the police officer feels a gun to the back of his head. “I'm going to take your gun and handcuffs. And Chris is alright just incapacitated.” Frank takes the cop's gun and handcuffs him to a metal pole.
Leaving the sewers Frank feels the cold air on his face. Checking his watch he realises it is broken. He goes to his van and drives off to his house.
When he gets inside he goes to the kitchen checking the clock. “Wasn't down there for long.” He puts on the TV while he makes shotgun shells. “Breaking news this morning we have word that Spider-Man and the Lizard destroyed Oscorpe hours ago, fleeing in the sewers. They also found the cannibal serial killer known as Vermin dead. They say it's a man dressed in black wearing a white skull on his chest. Now I don't condone murder but I want to personally thank this heroe for dealing with someone Spider-Man probably thinks isn't worth his time.” Punisher looks at the TV and at his shotgun loading. “That's all for now J, Jonah, Jamerson signing off.”
Frank goes into his pantree grabbing a bag of cash. He looks in it seeing about hundred and fifty grand. He takes it to his van with him driving off.
Manhattan, New York, 04:41
Frank walks into a small café and enters. “Mister Castle, quite a busy night was it.” Frank walks up giving him the bag of money. “Do you have the thing?” the man clears his throat. “Yes, your coffee is ready. Hot, two sugars and no milk. That'll be one dollar fifty cents.” Frank looks at the bag and at the device he's buying. He picks it up and leaves. “Keep the change.”

Well, like the title says, I've had three friend groups fall apart of the course of the last five years - each of which I had at least one close childhood friend in, all of which have ended or changed in some fundamental way.
The first one was me, my buddy Marcus, and a handful of other people. Marcus wasn't the best dude, but he was a good friend to me for a while. Eventually, though, the group started to implode over a few key issues. Marcus had a girlfriend and was cheating on her, serially. On two separate occasions, he did stuff with girls in the back of my car. Eventually, his girlfriend called me one time (we were all part of the same friend group, which made it even shittier for her) and was upset that Marcus could have "crushes" on "other girls at work" and that the second she had a similar situation he was all jealous and pissy. At this point, he was also talking a ton of crap about me behind my back which may have motivated my decision and I still don't know if I did the right thing but I responded that "he has no right to feel that way" or "no room to talk" and I pretty much immediately realized I had said too much but she kept asking what I meant and I reluctantly decided to spill the beans. I felt so bad about the whole situation. Me and Marcus had been pals since third grade. There were other things that happened, that reflect poorly on both mine and Marcus's character, but I won't disclose much more than that. The friend group dissolved. I keep in touch with a few people from this group and I hope almost all of them are doing well. Including Marcus. There are days that I miss these people but I can't dwell on it and I think the dissolution of this friend group was good for everybody involved, if I'm being honest. But it still sucks.
The second friend group was the most important to me, it was a friend group that myself and my best friend Zack put together. This failure is entirely my fault and the people in this group were the most important to me. Zack had been my best friend from about the third grade up until I was 18 or 19 years old. We'd hangout, play video games, watch anime, and talk about all sorts of things. We shared a dream of becoming successful in the YouTube space and in gaming content and all that sort of stuff. From 2018ish until Feb 2022 we played video games together most days and still occasionally hung out IRL. Then, in Feb 2022 we completely cleaned out his discord server (it had become nazified and we needed to get the trash out) and started a new. We made a post on new friends here and it blew up. Over the course of the next few months, it grew to over 200 people, including some people I would include as some of the best friends I ever had. Eventually, Zack and one of the other people in the server, who was also my friend, started dating. I decided to sort of pull back from that friendship (with her) because I have pretty severe attachment issues related to my borderline personality disorder and can develop unhealthy attractions and attachments to members of the fairer sex without warning and I didn't want to have any issues in my friendship with Zack. This led to lots of hurt feelings on all sides, which I feel like shit for, and was the beginning of the end of that friend group. When I started my own server, I invited a ton of the friends I made in Zack's server which pretty much sealed the deal, I wasn't trying to poach people but that's how Zack and his girlfriend took things. I try to talk to Zack nowadays but he doesn't respond. We had played every Dragon Ball Xenoverse DLC together and now he's just not responding. I have no hard feelings, no ill-intentioned ones are least, but I miss my friend man. The group eventually fizzled out completely but I still keep in touch with a decent handful of people from the boon of the 200 and am probably close with about six or seven of them. But man, I miss my video game enjoying, pizza loving, pal but I understand that this is my fault and that I've been a bad friend. I hope he's doing well. Ya know?
And finally the third friend group. This one actually requires a bit of a trigger warning for SA so if that ain't something you can stomach, skip to the next paragraph. My perspective of this group centers around myself, my friend Josh (who I've known since I believe 6th or 7th grade) and my buddy Camron (who I knew from 9th or 10th grade if I recall correctly). This friend group is another IRL one and was one that was centered around stuff like Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, finding cool local restaurants, and and occasionally playing video games. I lived with Josh for a while and that caused some tension between myself and him, but we're still cordial and talk everytime we bump into one another. But! He only ever calls me anymore to ask me for rides to and from work but never pays me, even when he says he will. The few times we've gotten to hangout, he keeps trying to talk me into sinking hundreds of dollars into LARP, which I'd be happy to do if it was something I could do but I have degenerate discs in my back and I just can't do that. It feels like he doesn't really care about me or want to be my friend. He keeps breaking promises and letting me down. Camron, on the other hand, still talks to me occasionally but his sister SA'd me two years ago and he cracks jokes about it which really bugs me and seems insensitive. After the last D&D was over, a couple in the group broke up and the whole group fell apart. It's just a whole thing with this one and it brings me down pretty badly.
I want to find my tribe. I want to find my people. I want to find the Rhett to my Link. I want to find the Lennon to my McCartney. I want to find the Stan, Kyle, and Kenny to my Cartman. I want to find the Key to my Peele. The Zoro and Luffy to my Sanji! I want to find my people, man. Whys it gotta be so tough 😭 I'm lucky that I have an absolutely wonderful girlfriend but other than her I feel totally freaking alone, man 😭
