Betton On Me

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

itsdanicareneeXOXO started with twelve viewers and a customer who couldn't pronounce her name right. Danica Betton, 22, Spelman graduate, Thread & Theory stylist, and accidental internet personality, never meant to go viral. She was just doing her job. Atlanta had other plans. From the MARTA to a neon blue Lamborghini, from twelve viewers to four hundred thousand, Betton On Me is the story of a young woman from the Blue Ridge Mountains figuring out who she is in a city that keeps offering her versions of herself that aren't quite right. There's a Buckhead socialite with an upside down pineapple and an agenda. A rapper named 9th Ward Marco who drives a leased Rolls Royce with the dealer mats still on the floor. A Spelman sister with a tablet full of numbers that will make you put your hand over your mouth for two reasons at the same time. And somewhere in the chat, there's blessyaheart_shug. Complete sentences. No shorthand. Has a folder. Has a bookmark. Was viewer number one before she had a username. She's been there the whole time. The mountains are calling. Danica's almost ready to go home. Betton On Me is the companion novel to Betton It All. Reading order recommended but not required.

At least ONE of us gotta reflect on our current life choices and get them priorities in order before I give you ANY numbers, playboy. He was HURT, ya’ll! Bruh hushed that fuss and moved to the BACK of the bus!! Mans was in that back reflecting FOR REAL!

gobbledygook404: WE BOTH ON THE MARTA

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: I REMEMBER THAT STREAM

tacobellcanteen: THAT MAN WAS DEVASTATED

yungappalachian: he moved to the BACK

gobbledygook404: THE ROAD FROM 12 TO 400K

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: she said EVERYTHANG

tacobellcanteen: with the full emphasis

yungappalachian: Monet was looking at her like she had a Powerpoint about it

midwest_gothic: Monet Darby has never once in her life thrown anything at a wall

gobbledygook404: Monet throws nothing. Monet places things deliberately and follows up.

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: the fact that she saw her mama in Monet’s face

tacobellcanteen: Monet and Delia are the same person in different zip codes

yungappalachian: separated at birth

midwest_gothic: Delia Betton and Monet Darby have never met and are already the same person and that’s just facts

blessyaheart_shug: I would LOVE to meet Monet she sounds like such a sweet girl!! 🙂

gobbledygook404: blessyaheart_shug

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: you HAVE met Monet

tacobellcanteen: several times

yungappalachian: on this very stream

midwest_gothic: blessyaheart_shug has met everyone. blessyaheart_shug has been here for all of it.

Danica Betton was, objectively, by any measure, a very attractive young woman. After graduating with a Bachelors in Art with a minor in Fashion Design and Merchandising, she felt like modeling was the next obvious step. She had everything any photographer or fashion designer could ever want in a model…natural, makeupless beauty, high cheekbones, abs you could bounce a quarter off of, golden bronze skin that absolutely popped in photos, and the type of comfortability in front of a camera you just couldn’t teach. She put together a modeling portfolio. She even got a few low paying jobs here and there. Car magazines, nightclub promos, etc. Danica knew these were chicken change jobs that would maybe get her by until the end of the week. But she pondered maybe, just MAYBE, if she can get her foot in the door, she’d start getting better paying jobs.

But then, The “Asks” got a bit less tasteful. And that’s when she first heard it.

A particular car magazine photographer, wanting to shoot Danica posing on the hood of a custom Dodge Challenger Hellcat build, forgot, or declined to tell her until the very last possible minute of how she was exactly posing, or more importantly, what exactly she was WEARING. Let’s just say it involved water, more underboob and cheek than she was comfortable with, and a particular position that ended in the word “style” on the hood of the car. Danica SERIOUSLY contemplated this, as this was much more money than her previous jobs, and she could get by at least a month on this one job. As Danica reached out her hand for the outfit…

“NOW DANICA RENEE BETTON I DO DECLARE!!!”

“What…the...HELL” Danica whispered to herself. Delia Betton’s voice rang in the back of her head, and stopped her dead in her tracks like Robocop’s OCP protocols. “You know what?? I’m good, and you got several other girls here who’d gladly take that opportunity, so I’ma just gone and step out ya’ll hair now. Ya’ll be good now, Praise God!” Danica scurried away as the photographer looked at her with just the right mix of shock, awe, and a BIT of seething anger, but he was going to be OK.

Danica Betton scurried away from a decent bit of money that day.

Ya’ll, let me tell yall!!! Soon as I heard my mama, I was like “SYSTEM FAILURE…NOW RESETTING” and then I shuffled up out that bih like I just had 3 bags of yungappalachian’s Takis and hot sauce, boy you STILL nasty for that, like I had somewhere SPECIFIC to be ya’ll feel me? Ol’ boy was looking at me like I was either a model that noped on a shoot, or I was about to blow the bathroom UP!!!

gobbledygook404: SYSTEM FAILURE NOW RESETTING

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: she said she shuffled up out that bih

tacobellcanteen: WITH PURPOSE

yungappalachian: why did she bring me into this I was just sitting here

midwest_gothic: you were not just sitting here. you are never just sitting here.

gobbledygook404: the photographer was not ready

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: no photographer is ever ready for a Delia Betton override

tacobellcanteen: he thought he had her. he did NOT have her.

yungappalachian: Delia Betton said not on my watch from 500 miles away

midwest_gothic: Delia Betton’s jurisdiction has no geographical limit and never has

blessyaheart_shug: That’s RIGHT!! 🙂

gobbledygook404: …

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug

tacobellcanteen: BLESSYAHEART_SHUG

yungappalachian: she confirmed it

midwest_gothic: she just confirmed her own jurisdiction and I for one am not surprised

But for real ya’ll, that was probably the best, or only possible way I could have handled that. The ick, yall, it was already giving me the shivers, and my mama’s voice from the back of my head just put the co-sign on it. That’s when I was like “Social Media, that seems right up my alley, I’ma test the waters and see where I get with that.” But my Day Ones know, I had to “recalibrate the agenda”, as my Sister-in-Law would say, a few times.

gobbledygook404: “recalibrate the agenda”

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: Serene Betton has entered the chat through proxy

tacobellcanteen: sister in law said it with her whole chest

yungappalachian: the Betton women are built different at every level of the family tree

midwest_gothic: by marriage or by blood they all arrive with vocabulary

gobbledygook404: Danica out here recalibrating

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: several times

tacobellcanteen: we were THERE for the recalibrations

yungappalachian: the cooking era

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: the fitness era

gobbledygook404: we do not speak of the fitness era

tacobellcanteen: we absolutely do not

midwest_gothic: three videos. her heart was never in it. we knew. she knew. the camera knew.

yungappalachian: rest in peace fitness era you were never going to make it

blessyaheart_shug: I thought that Pilates one was very good!! 🙂

gobbledygook404: BLESSYAHEART_SHUG WATCHED THE FITNESS VIDEOS

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: OF COURSE SHE DID

tacobellcanteen: she watched ALL of them

yungappalachian: she has ALWAYS watched all of them

midwest_gothic: blessyaheart_shug has never missed a single piece of content and we all know it and so does Danica and so does blessyaheart_shug and this is just where we all live now

The first thing Danica tried was makeup tutorials. She knew how to do makeup. She was fairly proficient in putting fashion-related things together. The issue was, Danica Betton did not NEED makeup, and never wore anything resembling makeup a day in her life, outside of lip gloss. She thought that she could binge-watch some makeup tutorials the night before she did her first stream, and in her words, “get put up on game”.

She did not in fact, get “put up on game”. She gained a grand total of five followers, and that’s because she had funny opinions on how she looked after applying the makeup.

“Day Ones, yall remember that. I was looking like Edward Scissorhands in that bih!!!! Ol’ BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN head ahh!” “Ol’ “Funeral Home Fresh” head ahh!!!!” I SWEAR to ya’ll I heard Ms. Pearl Ann humming a hymnal for me when I had that makeup on!

gobbledygook404: EDWARD SCISSORHANDS

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: SHE SAID BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN HEAD AHH

tacobellcanteen: I REMEMBER THIS STREAM

yungappalachian: I was there for that stream and I want you to know I did not say a word

midwest_gothic: none of us said a word. we were raised right.

gobbledygook404: we were supportive

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: we were VERY supportive

tacobellcanteen: we were lying through our teeth and we would do it again

yungappalachian: FUNERAL HOME FRESH

midwest_gothic: Funeral Home Fresh is the most specific description of anything I have ever heard in my life

gobbledygook404: she clocked herself. we didn’t have to say anything.

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: Danica Betton does not need makeup and the makeup knew it

tacobellcanteen: the makeup was fighting a losing battle from the jump

yungappalachian: Ms. Pearl Ann was humming a hymnal

midwest_gothic: Ms. Pearl Ann knew. Ms. Pearl Ann always knows.

blessyaheart_shug: Ms. Pearl Ann meant well Shug!! She’s a sweet lady!! 🙂

gobbledygook404: …

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug knows Ms. Pearl Ann

tacobellcanteen: OF COURSE SHE DOES

yungappalachian: blessyaheart_shug knows EVERYBODY

midwest_gothic: blessyaheart_shug is from Middlehurst, Virginia and we have always known this, and Danica has always known this, and here we all are.

The next thing Danica tried was cooking videos. Now, growing up in a household where her mother cooked enough food twice a day, every day to feed way more than just the four people sitting at the table, Danica was actually a fairly good cook. Problem was, her face was more in the camera than it was on watching exactly what she was doing.

This did not end well on several fronts.

Ya’ll remember that, I know yall do. I damn near chopped my pinky finger off AND damn near burnt Monet’s apartment down to the GROUND! Cooking wasn’t it for me, ya’ll. Blessyaheart_shug throw that smiley face up on time if you know what I’m talkin bout!

blessyaheart_shug: 🙂🙂🙂

gobbledygook404: SHE ANSWERED ON TIME

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug was READY

tacobellcanteen: she had that smiley face LOADED

yungappalachian: I remember the cooking stream

midwest_gothic: we all remember the cooking stream

gobbledygook404: Monet’s face when she came home

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: MONET’S FACE

tacobellcanteen: Monet Darby walked into that apartment and assessed the damage like an insurance adjuster

yungappalachian: she didn’t even raise her voice

midwest_gothic: Monet Darby has never raised her voice in her life and that somehow makes it worse

gobbledygook404: she just looked at Danica

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: THE LOOK

tacobellcanteen: that was a Delia look delivered by a Monet face

yungappalachian: Danica saw her mama twice that day

midwest_gothic: the stove AND the living room. a two-for-one Delia experience.

And then, ya’ll know I tried doing the Mukbang——

gobbledygook404: and then the mukbang

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: wait

tacobellcanteen: wait wait wait

yungappalachian: DANICA

midwest_gothic: Danica.

gobbledygook404: you are conveniently skipping something

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: GIRL YOU KNOW YOU CONVENIENTLY LEAVING OUT SOME PERTINENT INFORMATION

tacobellcanteen: we remember the mukbang

yungappalachian: we also remember what came BEFORE the mukbang

midwest_gothic: chronologically speaking there was something between the cooking era and the mukbang era

gobbledygook404: something with approximately 10,000 Instagram followers attached to it

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: DANICA RENEE

tacobellcanteen: we are going to need you to account for that time period

yungappalachian: the chat has receipts

midwest_gothic: the chat will always have receipts

blessyaheart_shug: 🙂

gobbledygook404: blessyaheart_shug also has receipts

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug has a FOLDER

tacobellcanteen: of course she does

midwest_gothic: of course she does.

Ooooh, yall make me SICK i swear!!!! All I’ma say about that is, them 10k followers on Instagram wasn’t worth it, yall. I was getting some crazy, CRAZY messages in my DMs. It was definitely going down in the DM’s, and I was trying to go up. They was talking about flying to Dubai and all that. Dubai? The only thing I “Dubai” is clothes and shoes and maybe Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, but never Takis to put hot sauce on. And when I was doing that yall, I swear I heard my daddy breathing behind me everytime I opened up the ’Gram. I heard the sleeves on that jacket of his creaking and everything. I wrapped that one up QUICK.

gobbledygook404: ACE’S JACKET

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: HE WAS BREATHING

tacobellcanteen: she heard the SLEEVES

yungappalachian: the sleeves creaking is sending me to another dimension

midwest_gothic: Ace Betton did not say a single word and he did not have to

gobbledygook404: jurisdiction confirmed on both sides of the family

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: Delia from the front Ace from the back

tacobellcanteen: she was completely surrounded

yungappalachian: there was no version of that where she didn’t wrap it up

midwest_gothic: the 10k followed her here eventually. they just found different content.

gobbledygook404: they found the RIGHT content

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: some of them are in this chat RIGHT NOW

tacobellcanteen: we don’t ask and they don’t tell

yungappalachian: the Dubai DMs though

midwest_gothic: we don’t need to know what was in those DMs and we are at peace with that

blessyaheart_shug: Good for you baby!! 🙂 You did the right thing!!

gobbledygook404: …

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug

tacobellcanteen: the folder

yungappalachian: SHE HAS THE FOLDER

midwest_gothic: blessyaheart_shug closed that folder a long time ago and we are all grateful

Aight, I addressed it, can ya’ll instigating asses let me get to the mukbang story now? Ya’ll really pulled rank on me just then.

gobbledygook404: we absolutely pulled rank

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: we earned that rank

tacobellcanteen: day one privileges

yungappalachian: we have been here since twelve followers and we will use that

midwest_gothic: the mukbang awaits. proceed.

blessyaheart_shug: Yes ma’am go ahead Shug!! 🙂

gobbledygook404: blessyaheart_shug also pulling rank

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: mama outranks everybody

tacobellcanteen: mama always outranks everybody

midwest_gothic: that has always been true and will continue to be true.

Danica tried her hand at mukbang videos next. She actually enjoyed doing them. It even gained her a few more followers, because she had genuinely funny, and blatantly honest opinions on some of the food. She directed a good portion of her ire at The Varsity in Atlanta.

“The chili on this chili dog is dog food, and I swear ya’ll can’t tell me no different”

“The cheese ain’t even melted on the cheeseburger, y’all. This shit made out of vibranium. “THEE POWA OF THE BLACK PANTHA WILL NOW BE STRIPPED AWAY” head ahh cheese”

“Swear these fries taste like Ms. Savannah’s Sunday potluck cornbread. Bland and soggy.”

Even though she was actually gaining some steam with the mukbangs, she had started feeling an eerie, almost existential dread, that continuing this would eventually lead to morbid obesity and trying to cry and eat on camera at the same time, like some videos she had watched.

You never cry and eat on camera at the same time.

This feeling was justified when Danica Renee Betton, 22 years old, standing five feet, six inches tall and formerly a fit one hundred and twenty pounds, stepped on a scale.

She had gained five pounds.

Danica Renee Betton never bought food from The Varsity again.

That existential dread ain’t no joke, ya’ll. And when I put on them five pounds? I was like Aw HELL NAW! And that’s when I started doing them fitness videos. Look ya’ll, I work out enough just to get these abs and glutes right, ya’ll know that. But my metabolism be METABOLIZING, okay? And ya’ll know I like my clothes big. Them yoga pants was damn near ’bout to give me a hysterectomy ya’ll I swear, and I’m tryin’ to have at least a FEW kids ONE day. I was way past camel toe. I was Rhinoceros Footin’ I SWEAR.

gobbledygook404: RHINOCEROS FOOTIN

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: I AM DECEASED

tacobellcanteen: she went PAST camel toe

yungappalachian: she named a whole new level

midwest_gothic: Rhinoceros Footin is a condition I was not aware of and now I will never stop being aware of it

gobbledygook404: the yoga pants did not survive

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: the yoga pants were never going to survive

tacobellcanteen: Danica Betton and yoga pants were not meant to coexist

yungappalachian: the abs and glutes was always going to win

midwest_gothic: physics was simply not on the yoga pants’ side

gobbledygook404: “I’m tryin to have at least a FEW kids ONE day”

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: she said the yoga pants was a MEDICAL CONCERN

tacobellcanteen: a HYSTERECTOMY

yungappalachian: over yoga pants

midwest_gothic: Danica Betton’s body rejected the fitness era and the fitness era had to respect it

blessyaheart_shug: Baby you don’t need them yoga pants anyway!! 🙂

gobbledygook404: blessyaheart_shug is CORRECT

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug stays correct

tacobellcanteen: mama said leave them pants alone

yungappalachian: mama is right

midwest_gothic: mama is always right. we have established this.

After gaining those five pounds, Danica reasoned that doing fitness videos would be a good way to lose the weight, and maybe gain some followers from that crowd.

Danica had STRONG opinions about the yoga pants.

She also said she felt a lot like a background extra in one of her mother’s Jazzercise tapes.

After her final video, a Pilates video in which her pants ripped in places she was not aware of until she uploaded it, she was done.

Them pants was ripped from the Roota to the Toota for real ya’ll! That video came down IMMEDIATELY, but I know my Day Ones still got it witchall’ stankin’ asses. And that ASMR??? …..Ya’ll I don’t even need to tell that story. Ya’ll seen them raggedy ass videos. I am too damn loud for ASMR. Point.Blank.PERIODT.

gobbledygook404: WE HAVE IT

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: IT IS PRESERVED

tacobellcanteen: in the archive

yungappalachian: the archive is sacred and locked

midwest_gothic: the Pilates video lives alongside the blessyaheart_shug screenshot and will never see daylight

gobbledygook404: we would never

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: we would absolutely never

tacobellcanteen: it is simply preserved. as evidence. as treasure.

yungappalachian: roota to the toota

midwest_gothic: roota to the toota.

gobbledygook404: the ASMR era

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: we don’t need to discuss the ASMR era

tacobellcanteen: she said Point Blank Periodt and closed the door

yungappalachian: the door is closed and we respect the door

midwest_gothic: some eras end quietly. the ASMR era ended the way it lived. loudly.

blessyaheart_shug: I thought that video was very brave Shug!! 🙂

gobbledygook404: …

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug WATCHED THE PILATES VIDEO

tacobellcanteen: OF COURSE SHE DID

yungappalachian: she watched it BEFORE it came down

midwest_gothic: blessyaheart_shug has the original. unedited. in the folder.

But NOW let me get to where it REALLY started. This where EVERYTHING just fell into place, and I ain’t even mean it to? I just had the camera rollin’ showing off some of the cute new pieces Ms. Evelyn had brought in, and this lady yall, this one SPECIFIC lady, had to take it where it didn’t even need to get took. And I just had to let her know.

gobbledygook404: oh

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: OH

tacobellcanteen: HERE WE GO

yungappalachian: THIS IS IT

midwest_gothic: this is the one.

gobbledygook404: Day Ones we have been waiting for this

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: we have been waiting THIS WHOLE TIME

tacobellcanteen: we knew this was coming

yungappalachian: I was THERE

midwest_gothic: we were all there.

gobbledygook404: twelve viewers

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: TWELVE

tacobellcanteen: and we will never forget what we witnessed

yungappalachian: tell it Danica

midwest_gothic: tell the whole thing.

blessyaheart_shug: 🙂

gobbledygook404: blessyaheart_shug knows what’s coming

DontTalkToMe_Brenda: blessyaheart_shug was viewer number one

tacobellcanteen: blessyaheart_shug has always been viewer number one

midwest_gothic: she just didn’t have a username yet.

The next story Danica Betton would tell, would end up becoming the stuff of internet legend.
