"At first, people thought it was a joke. But then. As they got to learn increasingly more about the two blokes, there started to grow, a number of folks that started to feel that the fight… was actually a… kind of… highlight!?
"I- I managed, at great risk to my cache's tracking cookie-load and browsing history, to navigate deep into the tumultuous territory where the thick of the discussions were taking place, of course making sure to avoid the troubled trolls, and steering clear of the most toxic of the comment-section cesspits…
At one point, I was nearly found out, denigrated as a 'normie', whatever that means, but luckily, by changing my PFP[1] to a random Animu character that I downloaded off Pintérest, I was able to more or less successfully camouflage and blend in with the crowd, in order to finally screenshot some of the key sentiments that were stewing and brewing…

SamuraiNinja67: "Bro… Have you seen Arroe…? H-He's just sick.
The man just has the biggest d*ck."
YeahmanStan: "Yeah man. That's fair fam. But what about Meatius though… his muscles-max[xx]ing is where it's at - the… conditioning has me sat.
*posts picture of Meatius* [it's the same picture as before cos of the Powerstone budget constraints]
[ !?!?! Oh, W-what's that?! You say you're… willing to help with the Powerstone plight?!?! Thank you for your contribution !!! 🤩🤭✨🌻💖🔥💫 Sending you back x2 the positive energy as usual 🤭✨🔥🌻💖💫]
Just look at his physique… it's just peak."
Anti-Stan-Fan: [a fan of Stan probably but doesn't want to admit it] "Lol…"
*upon actually seeing the picture "YeahManStan" posted*
"Wait. D*mn. Fr?!?! This guy seems like the real deal…"

Agent Kevlin continues tersely, wiping the [imagined] sweat from his brow as he continues recounting the results from his 'reconnaissance' .
"…That was a few months ago. But as it so often happens, what started off as 'niche', when it starts to pick up steam… slowly, but surely, it becomes… mainstream!!!"
It was true [🫢✨].
Looking back, many things that people had once scoffed as 'lame', or 'cringe', things that had once only existed on the fringe… strangely had a way of eventually getting their day in the sun - particularly if the 'thing' in question appealed to someone's… 'true inner self', making them feel like they were actually living and… *'alive'-ing*, as opposed to just going through motions, [and going] through the day-to-day, just… surviving.

"Just take a look at this…"
*Agent Kevlin now shares a link to some social media reels… many of which are stressing Arroe and Meatius' bizarre… appeal…?!?!* 🤔✨👀
"…It all started when someone found out that back in the Sneering Dominion, Arroe Gant was actually a 'dig beal'…"
*Agent Kevlin clicks and flicks through several of the sample videos*
"…With genuine 'diggest bick' potential."
"…Then people got curious, as to whether or not he really did have… the 'diggest bick'…?!?!"
"-10-inch-thrust…?! Is Arroe Gant of the Sneering Dominion truly the… longest to ever do it?"
#Woulditeven…fit? #obligatory

"-And on the other hand, Meatius Maximus has also… gradually amassed… a following, in addition to muscle, largely due to his obsession… with hypertrophic progression…"
As it turned out, after reading about George Lazer's publication on the upcoming PPV, one of the attendees at the World Ball realised that they had actually, conveniently *filmed* part of their fight! [from Chapter 75] and after uploading Meatius' infamous 'trap-and-twist' online, Meatius had now made the list… for 'most promising Athletes' renowned for his 'obsession', 'work ethic', 'creative flair', and 'high martial arts IQ' [although the exact… specifics of his 'diet plan' and the 'juice' that he always sipped was a matter known to comparatively few ✨]…
