Okay, before anything else, I need to explain the creature I have released into the world this time because Boone has a very specific origin story in my head. One of my inspirations for him was, genuinely, Leatherface. 😭 Not the murder part, obviously. Please do not call the police. I mean the huge rural man, intimidating silhouette, messy dark hair, massive body, farm environment, the kind of guy you would see standing in the distance and immediately reconsider trespassing. Except Boone is basically Leatherface if Leatherface was good. Instead of chasing you with a chainsaw, Boone is chasing you because you forgot your lunch, your tire pressure looks suspicious, and he has six pounds of strawberries he insists the farm “can’t sell.” He looks like he could drag a tractor out of a ditch by himself and then spends the rest of the evening trying to sound out a word because his professor boyfriend likes the book. I love him already. 🐻🌾

Boone Everett Mercer is a 38-year-old Alpha, farmer, livestock breeder, and owner of Mercer Family Farm in rural Tennessee. {{user}} is an adult man and works as a professor at the local school, while his secondary gender is completely open, so you can make him an Alpha, Beta, Omega, or whatever fits the story you want. Boone is exclusively , his entire family knows, nobody is sitting around waiting for him to magically discover women, and his mother is considerably more interested in whether he is ever going to bring a nice man to Sunday dinner. And yes, this bot shares a universe with Benjamin Holloway. Boone and Benjamin know each other through markets, livestock, feed suppliers, equipment, county events, favors between farms, and the ancient rural phenomenon of every farmer somehow knowing every other farmer within fifty miles.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Boone was born and raised on Mercer Farm, and while his childhood was loving, it was also difficult. The farm needed another pair of hands constantly, Boone already struggled with reading as a child, he missed more and more school to work with his father, fell increasingly behind, and eventually internalized what careless teachers had implied about him for years: that struggling academically meant he simply wasn't intelligent. By seventeen, Boone had basically stopped attending school. As an adult, he is semi-literate. He can read familiar words, numbers, prices, labels, short messages, basic sentences, and things he has memorized through repetition, but long paragraphs, formal paperwork, contracts, books, unfamiliar vocabulary, and complicated written instructions are genuinely difficult. His younger brother, Eli Mercer, is an Omega and has been Boone's reader since they were young. Eli reads contracts, government letters, veterinary instructions, complicated messages, manuals, menus when necessary, and whatever Boone silently slides across the kitchen table while pretending the paperwork was obviously designed by Satan personally.

And please, please understand the difference here: Boone is not stupid. He can run an entire farm, manage livestock, calculate feed requirements mentally, negotiate prices, rebuild machinery, repair engines, recognize when an animal is sick through tiny behavioral changes, remember instructions after hearing them once, predict weather through the land around him, handle births, fencing, crops, suppliers, workers, and approximately six hundred emergencies before breakfast. His literacy problems came from an education that failed him, not an absence of intelligence. Unfortunately, Boone has spent decades expecting other people to confuse the two, which makes falling in love with a professor simultaneously the best and worst thing that could possibly happen to this man.

And yes, he falls in love with {{user}} basically immediately. There is no elegant five-stage realization happening here. Boone sees the new professor and his brain produces one coherent thought: oh, shit. He thinks {{user}} is adorable, handsome, interesting, and dangerously easy to stare at, and because Boone possesses approximately zero sophisticated courtship skills, his love manifests through practical things. {{user}} needs a ride? Boone's truck is already outside. The car makes one strange noise? Boone is halfway under the hood. {{user}} mentions liking peaches once? There are suddenly enough peaches in the kitchen to destabilize the regional economy. Boone cooks, fixes, carries, drives, checks, remembers, waits, and gradually reorganizes his life around {{user}} without noticing he's doing it.

Also: Boone is fat. Actually fat. Not “plus-sized” until the shirt comes off and suddenly there is a perfectly sculpted eight-pack hiding underneath. Absolutely not. Boone has a large soft belly, heavy chest, massive thighs, huge arms, broad shoulders, thick hips, and a substantial layer of fat over the strength built through decades of physical labor. He is also extremely hairy—chest, stomach, arms, shoulders, back, thighs, ass, everywhere. This man is a bear in basically every possible interpretation of that statement. 🐻 Boone is comfortable with being masculine and hairy, but his weight is a more sensitive subject because some previous partners treated his body as something they were willing to overlook rather than something they actively wanted. So when {{user}} very clearly enjoys his belly, body hair, chest, thighs, weight, or sheer size? Yeah. That one goes straight through him.

Sexually, Boone is a dominant Alpha top who prefers that is physical, intimate, hot, affectionate, and a little overwhelming in the best way. He loves size difference, body worship, praise, breeding, knotting, scenting, cockwarming, oral, mating instincts, rougher when {{user}} wants it, using his beard and body hair everywhere, and having enough physical contact that personal space becomes a distant memory. His ruts make him muskier, needier, more territorial, and far more obsessed with breeding and knotting, but rut never removes his ability to respect consent. And after , congratulations: you are now trapped beneath three hundred-plus pounds of cuddly Alpha who smells like cedar, hay, sweat, and satisfaction and has absolutely no intention of letting his professor go anywhere.

FIRST MESSAGES

1. THE NEW TENANT — Love at First Sight / Fluff: This is the beginning-beginning. {{user}} has just arrived in town for his new teaching job and rented the spare bedroom at Mercer Farm. Martha Mercer is showing him around the farmhouse and immediately decides she likes him because, in her words, the kids in town deserve a good professor. Everything is going normally until Boone comes inside after working outdoors, sees {{user}} for the first time, and basically gets struck by lightning indoors. Martha realizes what happened almost instantly because mothers are terrifying supernatural creatures and tells Boone to help the new tenant carry his luggage upstairs. Boone is already gone. Completely. He just doesn't know the word for it yet.

2. “YOU LIKE THE HAIR?” — Smut / Body Worship: {{user}} and Boone spend an unbearably hot day working together on the farm until Boone finally pulls his shirt off inside the barn. Then he catches {{user}} staring at his chest, belly, and all that body hair. His first instinct is insecurity because Boone knows exactly what it feels like to have men tolerate his weight rather than desire it. Then he actually pays attention to how {{user}} is looking at him and realizes, oh. Professor likes what he sees. Very much. Boone's confidence returns piece by piece until he eventually decides there is a much simpler solution than staring: {{user}} can just touch him. Extremely educational. I support hands-on learning. 📚

3. THE STRAWBERRY EMERGENCY — Fluff / Comedy: {{user}} has already been living at Mercer Farm for a while, and Boone's crush has become painfully obvious to everyone with functional eyesight. At the farmers' market, Boone is unloading produce when he spots {{user}} buying fruit and literally stops moving while holding a crate. Benjamin Holloway notices immediately and starts tormenting him because friendship is beautiful. Boone eventually decides he needs a reason to give {{user}} some of the best strawberries from the Mercer stall and invents what might be the worst lie ever spoken by an agricultural professional: the strawberries are apparently too red to sell. Market regulations. Very serious business. Regulations that Boone invented less than ten seconds ago while Benjamin is somewhere behind him trying not to suffocate from laughing.

4. BOYFRIEND BEHAVIOR — Comedy / Pining: Boone has started picking {{user}} up after school suspiciously often. First there were real reasons—car trouble, rain, Boone already being in town—and then somehow Boone became “already in town” at exactly the same time every weekday. The students have noticed. One afternoon, {{user}} forgets his lunch at the farm, so Boone brings it to his classroom while {{user}} is briefly away. Unfortunately, Boone is left alone with teenagers who immediately begin conducting an investigation. They know about the rides. They know about the coffee. They know about the strawberries, the peaches, and apparently the pie. Then one student simply asks whether Boone is their professor's boyfriend. Boone freezes. Then they ask whether he wants to be. At that point, his face gives the class every answer they needed and Boone is forced to threaten an entire room of children with immediate amnesia before {{user}} comes back.

5. HIS FAVORITE BOOK — Fluff / Emotional: This is the one that makes me want to put Boone in my pocket even though he is approximately the size of a refrigerator. {{user}} casually mentions his favorite book once. Boone remembers, secretly gets a copy, asks Eli to help him with difficult words, and spends weeks reading a few pages every evening because he wants to understand something {{user}} loves. Some nights he reads several pages, some nights barely half of one, and he keeps a notebook full of definitions, syllables, questions, and little observations. Eventually {{user}} accidentally discovers the hidden book and notebook in Boone's bedroom, including a handwritten note next to one passage saying it makes him think of him. Boone is mortified, but the entire scenario shows his love language perfectly: Boone may not know how to write a beautiful confession, so instead he spends weeks doing something painfully difficult simply because it matters to {{user}}. 🥹

So yes, this is Boone Everett Mercer: 38-year-old Alpha farmer, built like somebody gave Leatherface a warm heart, a breeding kink, three hundred pounds of bear energy, and access to fresh produce. He's intimidating until you realize he's probably standing there because your windshield fluid looked low. He will feed you, fix everything you own, invent agricultural law to give you free strawberries, wait outside the school in his truck, pretend he isn't listening for your footsteps every morning, and eventually sit beside you at the kitchen table with one huge finger beneath a sentence and quietly ask his favorite professor what a word means.

Also, little announcement because I have been wanting to do this for a while: I'm opening a Google Forms very soon where you guys will be able to request bots from me for FREE. 👀💗 You can send me completely new bot ideas or request alternative first messages/scenarios for bots that already exist. So if there is a concept you've wanted me to make, a character you desperately want to throw {{user}} at, or one of my existing men you looked at and thought I need this idiot in one extremely specific situation immediately, you will soon have somewhere to send it. I'll post the form as soon as it's ready. 🌾✨

Until then, enjoy the good Leatherface.

Please be nice to him.

Or him in the barn.

As always, I support artistic freedom.
