Born to two underachieving credit managers on February 6th, 1990, Sullivan Newcombe was always pushed to achieve the best possible. His parents were never believers in the idea that as long as he tried his hardest, nothing else mattered. Rather, they wanted to see the letter grade more than they wanted to hear how hard he'd tried. Show, don't tell, in fewer words. Even as a young boy they wanted him to outshine his classmates and dazzle his teachers with his intellect and his quick-wit. They believed being smart wasn't enough. If one wasn't likeable as well they wouldn't get far in life. Because of this constant reminder to be smart, funny, and personable, he found himself with many acquaintances and few close friends.
His head was always in a book and rarely anywhere else, studying to become the top of his class and assert himself. He was moderately attractive as well which helped him greatly once he left middle school and hormones began to demand recognition. It was a blessing and a curse that he rarely discussed out of fear his parents and peers would find his complaints obnoxious. He knew that his struggle of being attractive was something frivilous and that he could have had it much worse. Still, because of his appearance he found it hard to commit to one girl at a time. Many wanted his attention, and because of how he grew up, he hated saying no and disappointing someone. He was a playboy, and to this day it's something he's disappointed about. But as teenage boys are prone to doing, he ignored his feelings and focused on other things that were more important, like contact sports. Not the quarterback heartthrob one might suspect him to be, Sullian joined the football team and quickly became the starting full back. He found it was nice to take his aggression out on the football field rather than get into fights like many of his other friends, and it provided him with something else to think about other than homework. It was on this football team that he met the first boy he'd ever been attracted to, and this changed his entire outlook on his life.
Andrew was the quarterback. He was charming, sensative, and when the situation called for it, he was level-headed and got straight to the point. This was why it was highly confusing to Sullivan that he'd ended up with a crush on the boy. He was straight - obviously - and he liked his girls demure and timid rather than outspoken and unfiltered. Andrew was the complete opposite of what he looked for in someone and yet he'd still fallen head over heels for him. It made him giddy and terrified, this crush. He knew he'd never be able to tell his parents about his feelings. They'd planned his entire future out for him. He was to marry someone attractive and intelligent and continue on the family legacy, always encouraging the next generation to achieve even more. Developing feelings for another boy wasn't on the agenda, and Sullivan ignored this for the most part. It wasn't until he let his guard down, gave into the unreal temptation, and made a move on Andrew. To his suprise, it wasn't met with disgust and offense, but rather a small smile and a move to put the ball back into his court. After that, it was all over. He had a sickening, awful, immoral crush on the stupidly lovable quarterback.
They were quiet about their feelings. Despite all of his responsibilities, Sullivan made time for Andrew. They worked on homework together, pitched in around school, and created plays for football*** with one another. Unlike fairy tales, however, the boys weren't meant to be together until the end of time. Things became too complex for them, and guilt washed over Andrew in ways that scared Sullivan. He didn't want the boy to be honest with his girlfriend and out the both of them, so Sullivan proposed they end things amicably. If the time ever allowed it, they'd see each other, but until that time, they'd keep their hands to themselves and return to the perfectly constructed facades that had gotten them this far. Sullivan didn't cry - even if that was all he truly wanted to do. Instead, he returned from cloud nine and assumed his usual position on the social ladder. Sure, he'd made plenty of friends now that he'd met Andrew, but the top of the world was lonely. He missed Andrew everyday for the rest of his junior year.

Senior year came and went in a blur of college applications, throwback songs at prom, and swirling graduation caps. His friends were no longer his friends because now that the prison gates were finally open nobody could wait to escape. He left without sadness. Would he miss the halls of his high school, filled with the gossip of Stacy King's latest pregnancy and Matt Patterson's dick pics leaking? Not in the slightest. He was glad to have it behind him. He wanted nothing to do with the people who'd only liked him because of the things they thought he could do. He wasn't wealthy though he looked it. He wasn't a star athlete though he tried. He was just Sullivan, the guy with the overbearing family and the brain he didn't know what to do with just yet. His parents decided for him when he expressed this. Harvard Law. It wasn't his first choice, but like all similar things in his life, he went with the flow. He was accepted which wasn't a surprise to him. He was smart, he knew that. Goodbye, Georgia, hello, Massachusetts.
His parents tried their hardest to save up some money for him but in the end, with only a partial scholarship Sullivan knew he'd have to work on top of going to school. This was a challenge for him, and after a few different jobs, he was ready to call it quits. He couldn't balance working two jobs on top of trying to be the best in his class. Like a shining beacon in the distance, Sullivan was given an expensive camera from his girlfriend du jour on his birthday. He made a few videos here and there but most of the time it sat on his computer desk. He found the camera once again after moving into a tiny apartment near campus, and after a night of drinking, he decided he'd make a cooking video for the world to see. He got down to business, preparing a nice strawberry cake on camera. He uploaded the short video to YouTube then promptly passed out in the living room. To his surprise, in the following days he generated a surprising amount of views. Almost a thousand times had his video been played. He was confused as to why people were watching until he read the comments. Despite the fact that he was very inebriated and a little unbalanced, he was shirtless. It made sense.
At first he laughed off the idea of doing another video, but each time he checked out the comment section he read more and more requests from people. He wasn't a baker by any means, but the viewers all but demanded he keep it up. Figuring one more wouldn't hurt, he decided to try his hand at a cherry pie. In hindsight it wasn't the best recipe to follow up with considering the comments quickly became sexual, but it did spur him to look into other things he could make. These videos soon became the highlight of his time. When he wasn't in classes or working on homework, he was on the computer looking for new things to try and tips to incorporate into his food. He built up a large following in only a matter of months, and at the end of his second year of law school he had a YouTube partnership.
During his third and final year of school, Sully found himself struggling to find a balance between studying and putting out videos. While it might not have seemed like such a challenging task to someone on the outside looking in, his life had become more stressed than before. Sure, money was coming in regularly, and he could finally start saving up to pay off all of the debt he'd leave school with, but if he didn't keep his head in the right space all of this would have been for nothing. Things became much easier when he met up with another popular personality online. Jane was a chef herself, and an even better trained one than Sullivan. She'd gone to school for her craft, and just as he had, she'd used the internet as a way to make money. After a few weeks of diliberating and getting things together, the two created a joint account. Jane passed no judgment on Sullivan using his body to help sell himself and his channel and he had no problem that she wanted to work fully clothed. He wouldn't have tried to cook bacon shirtless either.
By March, the two had created a new channel where Sullivan worked on all of the sweets and treats and Jane created videos for all things savory. With two different types of videos, they racked in even more viewers, and in turn, were paid more. More than half of this money went to production, either on lighting and cameras or editing programs while they split the rest. By the time Sullivan graduated, he had half of his debt stacked up in the bank and he was steadily earning more and more that he could put towards those bills. He and Jane grew closer, and before he knew it, he was telling her all about Andrew and a few other men he'd been with. At first she'd been uncomfortable with the idea but soon Jane came around to it, accepting him as one of her best friends despite her religious upbringing.
Sullivan's parents were less than pleased to see that he had ventured off the path they'd carefully planned out for him but by this point he was enjoying himself too much. He loved baking - something he never had the opportunity to try out growing up - and it was steadily becoming something he was passionate. Together, Jane and Sullivan made YouTube videos for the next two years, amassing just over a million subscribers and a few thousand short of one hundred million total views on their videos. Once all of the money had been split, Sullivan made sure to pay off his college expenses first. He and Jane moved to New York in October of 2013 and while they didn't get apartments together, they did move into the same apartment complex. By May of 2014, Sullivan's bakery Once Bitten was finally open. He wasn't confident enough to think that he could still support himself if he weren't doing videos, but to his surprise his store was a success. He wasn't making anywhere near the salary he was on the internet but it was still fulfilling to him.
He finally had something to call his own, something his parents hadn't planned for him or had any part in. He owned his own bakery - and people loved it! To this day, he still does one video a week but has slowed down a bit because of the holiday season. He's also not fully out of the closet yet, but to a small handful of people, Sullivan has been completely honest.
