Bulk Bucket (Patreon)

This story is technically a caption, as it originated from a photo. I posted it in a private chat with another writer where we discussed things we've seen recently or other ideas. It went something like this:

Me: This feels like from a story. Camera angle looks like POV from someone held or tied to the bench. Left guy is checking out his new body.
Him: Yes. 100% all the yes.
Me: I don't know what is happening though. Is it "We took what we could" or "You're next"?
I hope there is a third option.
Him: ALOT of "muscle theft" going around lately. I'd prefer "you're next"
3rd option?
Me: Yes. I don't like muscle theft. I would like something more creative.

Him: Hmm. Maybe a weird mix of both??
They got too big, coach says they need to make weight, so they're about to dump a few pounds on a mouthy nerd ??
Me: Guy on the left says "I'm really gonna miss this". "Come, on do it already."
Him: I like it. It's a neat little twist to an overdone trope
Me: Ok, that story has legs.
"Good news Parker, you'll be the team's muscle dump [needs a cruder word]."
"Hey, let me go. Where are you taking me?"
Him: Meat packer??
Bulk bucket?
But yeah, this idea definitely has something going for it
Me: bulk bucket is good.
Him: 😂 glad you like, I dunno where it came from
Me: Well, alliterations are always good.
Beef bucket.
Swole sink
hunkty dumpty 😜
Him: But it's a good idea. The boys can get big for summer. Then dump it on the nerd to make weight for their sports and positions.
Of course, it only makes sense to use the smarmy brainy boy who constantly badmouths the meatheads.
Me: Hm. Let it be the school clown instead of the nerds. "You think you're soo funny with all the names you've put out there for the jocks. Not going to be so funny tomorrow."
Him: Love it.
Me: Now, how do they actually transfer muscle?
Him: 🤔🤷‍♂️now that is a question. xD
didnt think that far.
Me: magic or science?
Him: Hmm, whats been the most prevalent method going around the TF world recently? do the opposite.
Me: Magic probably makes the most sense.
Him: could also do a mix of both. Sort of an equivalent exchange thing? They have to pack him full of protein and fats and what not, before they can use X magical thingy to transfer their size?
Alchemy isnt used nearly as much in TF lore xD
Me: But they can't force feed him between each transfer. At one point he will be stronger than them.
Him: True..
Me: Well, I guess he would be sick and hurting or something.
Him: easy solution is drugged, whenever they need him, they dose up his lunch and he falls like a sack of potatoes xD
Me: I think this is a one time only thing.
Him: Works for me, that solves that issue.

I had a few more ideas as to what the ritual would eventually result in, except for transfer of muscle, but decided against it to keep the story tighter. I imagined that Ronan would have many other aspects heightened, as if the hormones of an entire football team flowed through him. He would be hot, sweaty, and horny all the time. Perhaps a more lasting connection was formed between him and all the players in the team, so whenever any of them worked out, was horny, had sex, etc. he would feel some of the effects. He would come to really resent the practice times of the team, and utterly despise game day.
