#Chi's Sweet Adventures

[nebulacritter]

cat manga!!!

Here is part two of my manga list! This time, it's all about cats!

Yokai Cats

This series is very easy to read, and it also teaches you about yokai from Japanese folklore. The cats in this manga are based on a variety of yokai, and they even have the same gimmicks as their ancient counterparts!

Favorite Character: Shiro

Junji Ito's Cat Diary

This is the very first Junji Ito book I've ever read. It mixes the cute with the creepy, and it's also an autobiography about the author and his wife taking care of their cats. I really appreciate how Ito uses horrific elements for comedy to show how wild his cats are.

Favorite Character: N/A

Chi's Sweet Home and Chi's Sweet Adventures

Chi's Sweet Home is the most popular cat manga to ever exist, and it's very cute! This series is soft and peaceful, so that's why it made me feel warm inside. Chi is probably the most adorable cat I've ever seen in fiction.

Chi's Sweet Adventures is a spinoff, and it was just as good. It was also very easy to read, and the way the panels were positioned reminded me of the ones in Yokai Cats. It also counts as a timeskip because Yohei, the only child in the Yamada family, is a bit older now.

Favorite Characters: Chi and Blackie

Sue and Tai-Chan

This is another series by Konami Kanata, who is the creator of Chi's Sweet Home. It takes place in a different household, and it tells the tale of an old cat and an energetic kitten forming a bond. It's just as heartfelt (and silly) as Chi's Sweet Home, and the titular characters are basically Chi and Blackie with the roles reversed.

Favorite Character: Tai-chan

That's all I have for cat manga! Cats are very cute... but the manga that'll be featured in the final list are not-so-cute.

HELLO.

I was just wondering if you could do some hcs of what the mk1 men's ideal types would be.

Reiko is interested in a partner who is strong and capable. Someone who can handle themselves and continue to grow in personal and physical strength

He wants someone who knows their way around the battlefield and loyal to their personal goals

Kenshi is attracted to his partner's wit and intelligence. He wants someone who he can have long and deep conversations with

Prefers someone who can be playful but not overly so. He needs a calming influence but not one so compliant. He is a man who carries a lot of weight so someone to take that weigh off with small jokes can make a big difference for him

Syzoth is drawn towards someone who is patient, calm and understanding. Someone who can not just hear him but truly listen to him

He a man full of emotion so someone who tends to have a calmer demeanor helps soothe him when he becomes anxious. Of course, he also loves a partner who enjoys frequent physical contact

Prefers someone wild and brazen. Someone who cannot be completely contained even though he so desperately wants to

Enjoys a partner that seeks thrills and chills. Don't worry though, he will mold his partner into the perfect chaos if they seem restrained

Rain needs someone who acknowledges his ambitions and desires. A partner that encourages him and supports his efforts goes a long way for him

Though he does find himself seeking competition so, naturally, he seeks out a partner who can handle and enjoy these rivalries

Shang Tsung is drawn to people who interest him. Someone that catches his eye because of their abilities, wit and/or appearance

Prefers a partner who can be clever but also softer than the average person. He will enjoy matching their wit while also taking comfort in their kindness

Quan Chi appreciates loyalty and acknowledgment. He wants a partner to stay by his side while also seeing all the wonders he can do

Prefers someone who can handle themselves and not completely rely on him. Not to say he isn't a comforting partner, he is, but he values mental fortitude as well

Tomas prefers someone he can have fun with. He wants to go out with his partner, take them places and have adventures with him

His partner needn't be shy nor outgoing, just someone who is open to his ideas and plans. Over everything, he needs someone who is unconditionally supportive but not blindly so

Raiden enjoys a partner who values kindness and the treatment of others. He himself a very caring individual so he is drawn to those who show similar characteristics

Also enjoys someone with a sense of humor. Raiden wants to laugh with his partner, truly and loudly laugh to the silly things they talk about

Kung Lao really likes when his partner can match his sass and swagger. He likes the little playful rivalry that he and his partner create

While he has fun with his partner's attitude, he does need a partner that knows when to humble him

Bi-Han has an intense temper so a partner who is calm, collected and sweet really helps level him out. Someone who is kind yet witty to bring him down from those raging highs

He needs a partner who completes him and compliments him. Too be too brash around him will frustrate him and isolate him. A partner to love him completely and truly, to hold him and tell him it will be alright, means the world to him

Johnny craves someone who loves to live life and live it fast. He is exceptionally extraverted and wants to go out and see the world with his partner

Someone who believes in his ambitions is a big deal for him. Johnny may appear exceptionally confident but he is deeply insecure. He needs a partner that can recognize that and provide him comfort

General Shao prefers a partner who is smaller than he is. He wants to impress his partner and show them his prowess

It is not that he wants someone weak, Shao enjoys a partner that welcomes him when he returns from battle with excitement and pride. He wants to scoop his partner up and parade them on his shoulder as he marches through the city

Geras is a simple man but incredibly busy and needs a partner who understands this. There will be much time spent apart from each other so he requires a partner with great patience

He prefers someone who is level-headed and logical, someone who can analyze a situation with him and offer a new perspective

Liu Kang fancies someone who can be witty and playful just as he is. A partner who can make him smile and laugh will capture his heart quickly

He does not have preferences in terms of their physical strength but their mental fortitude. Not to say he will not comfort his partner, he will, but Liu Kang needs that comfort too.

Kaui Liang has no preference for appearances. His desire in a partner is all related to who they are. He prefers a partner who shows kindness and restraint in moments of frustrations

Additionally, he wants a partner who is family oriented. Family is huge for him and so he seeks out a partner who also values the concept of family and loyalty to them

Baraka needs a partner who is understanding of his worries and someone willing to listen to him. He's lost everything and someone to validate that will help soothe him

He is touch starved, desperately so. Baraka would love a partner who can touch him softly, unafraid of his deformed skin and bones

BEING BEST FRIENDS WITH KATARA:

prompt: you two are from the same tribe while traveling with her brother and Aang.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.pure love in the friendship as she always makes sure you are okay everyday. Like literally every morning starts off with her checking if you had a nightmare or such.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.traveling with the avatar has its perks by being followed by a prince with daddy issues. And through the whole time, she is protective of you. It didn’t matter if you are a non bender or a master at what you are bending. You are still someone who needs to be watched in her eyes.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.katara is such a mother and a best friend. But mostly a mother as she gives you advice and guidance in what she knows about what you want to know mostly.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.oh you’re hurt? She’s already healing you. Oh you’re hungry? She’s already making Sokka go fishing. Literally babies you. Don’t matter if you are older or younger, you are a victim of mama katara. She’s glad you find her comforting to be around when you need the comfort. She literally smiles feeling your body ease against hers.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.you & Katara definitely use to prank Sokka into thinking he peed in his dream😭just to mess with this boy. Katara just water bending water onto sokka’s sleeping bag as you snicker along with your friend.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.what if you were a water bender like katara? Oh boyyy she will make sure you know the basics. And if you are a pro like katara already, you two are a deadly water duo in battle. Azula and the fire nation better pray that one of you has the mercy to spare. Because you guys will go psycho mode with the water bending skills.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.if you’re a non bender, oh boy. Mama Katara mode goes from 5 to almost 100. Cause you both have been best friends since almost birth. You guys are inseparable. Literally she’s making sure you have no scars every time the battle ends with enemies in the way of Aang’s adventure.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.lol when she was going to square up to toph when everyone was tired, you had to just stand there and pull her aside for her to calm down.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.lmao the times where you had to drag katara away from basically fighting toph is mostly crazy. When you guys met her, and at the fire nation. When toph threw that rock and it hit katara. You knew shit would be real when katara got her payback. You had to literally chi block both of the girls to make them stop. Yeah toph would be hard to chi block, but you did while jumping.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.yk how she got her mother’s necklace. What if she makes you a water tribe friendship necklace or bracelet of sorts. Literally just to prove how your friendship with her is strong and can never be breaking.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.yes you two will have girl time together. She loves having you as a best friend who she can share secrets with and just laugh with. It feels nice.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.if you were younger than her, man..she is actually a mother to you. Always making sure you hold her hand, making sure you are fed, making sure your clothes are alright. You might want to tell her you can take care of your own self. But she would just ignore it and keep babying you like a true mother.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.katara always shows off her water bending to impress you, and it works as you clap with light up eyes. Katara just feels proud to have you around. It’s nice.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.katara is a very talented and sweet girl, so if you were to say a water bender. She’s helping you withy your skills. She knows it was hard to do when she first started. But now you two can do spars.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.a water/ice slide will be a must for you. You literally half begged katara and she gave in to giving you a water/ice slide. She just liked how happy you looked. The way your eyes light up with your smile. It brought joy to her as well. She even joined you on the slide as she makes it even more exciting with her skills.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.when Zuko was trying to get in the gaang, you were ready to trust him because you felt no ill intent from the prince. But as you were going to go to Zuko to welcome him, katara pulls you back and glares at Zuko. Zuko notices that and gave you a soft look of appreciation.

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.if you’re sick. The gods or avatars better hope you don’t get sick cause katara is being snappy and worried for you. Aang tried to touch your forehead about what was wrong with you, and katara smacks his hand so quick away from you. She’s probably asking him if he washed his hands😭

˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌊˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.in the end, you guys are the greatest friends anyone can have. From the same tribe to the whole thing about traveling with the avatar. You care about her, she cares about you.

Prompt: Make It Quiet

Clavis x Reader

WC: 552

“Ah…..there you are. I was just wondering where the brightest jewel in this sea of noble gemstones had ventured off to. I have been speaking to some of our esteemed guests and I’m sure you would have delighted the Azurite prince–”

“You have to come with me.”

He blinks. “Now?”

“Right now.”

“Oh my, my lamb seems rather impatient. Don’t you want to have a quick dance? The orchestra is just finished warming up and–”

“C’mon.” You seize his hand, a prisoner held tightly in your satin glove.

“What a delightful turn of events. Are you perhaps hungry -Pardon me, sir- Yves has outdone himself overseeing the food -Excuse me, madame- although it lacks originality if you ask me-…Um…Darling? This is an exit.”

“Exactly. Come along.”

“I see I never knew the true strength of your grip. You are very insistent, my love. My, how dark the hallway is compared to the bright lighting of the ballroom. Are you sure–”

“Just a little further.”

“Your laughter tells me I shouldn’t be so suspicious. What sort of adventure is my sweet one taking me on? I- Wait, why are we stopping? There’s nothing here.”

“Wrong. THIS is here.”

“An alcove? Are you sure, sweetheart? There isn’t even a statue or painting or decorative anything! It’s nothing but darkness.”

“So perceptive. Come closer.”

“Have I mentioned how astoundingly strong your grip–”

“Stop. Talking.”

Shrouded by the shadows of the alcove, you cover his mouth with yours, fingers curled into the soft velvet of his lavender lapel.

Clavis does not speak. He can’t. He is powerless in the face of your radiant desire. All he can do is return your fervent kisses. He wasn’t entirely wrong about your appetite. Each kiss is hungrier than the last. His back is soon pressed against the smooth, cool wall, a startling contrast to the hastening heat of your body which he can feel through your layers of silk and brocade.

You graze the elegant line of his neck with your lips as you speak.

“I saw you talking to all those people-”

“Esteemed guests, my sweet,” he gasps, his hands grasping at the folds of your voluminous gown as if he needs something to hold on to, lest he fall.

“And you looked so…..” You take his bottom lip between your teeth and bite, just hard enough for him to inhale sharply. “So at ease, in your element. So collected and calm.” Your hands slide down his sides, slip inside his waistcoat. “I suddenly had the burning desire to see you….unsettled.”

Your hands slide down further, over expensive silk and shiny golden buttons and butter-soft leather and metal buckles.

Is he….trembling?

“I believe,” he says breathlessly, “you are getting what you desire, my darling.”

Your smile is hidden in the darkness but he can taste it on your lips.

“Almost.”

“Ah….my love…..” He is losing this battle, falling backwards off the cliff of reason and hurtling towards the sea of no return. “Anyone….could walk by.”

But you both know his protest is hollow as his hands are already under the heavy folds of your skirts, gripping your thighs, pulling you towards him. 

”Don’t worry, my prince,” you murmur against his ear, a music that rivals the greatest of orchestras. “We’ll make it quiet.”

Koneko no Chi: Ponponra Natsuyasumi; Chi’s Sweet Adventure: Summer Vacation - Episode 3

[fafnir19]

The Disease

Leo and Ali had been close since childhood, an unlikely pair united by a shared love for adventure and a disdain for boredom. Their friendship thrived under the watchful eye of Leo's family's housekeeper, Chi Chi, who treated them like her own grandchildren. She would often cook their favorite meals and listen to their wild stories, offering a warm smile and words of wisdom when needed. As the final exams loomed, a tension hung in the air between the two friends.

"Leo, wait up!" Ali called out, hurrying to catch up with his friend as they left school for the day. It had been a while since they had spent any time together, what with the upcoming final exams occupying most of their time. "Hey, Ali! What's up? Need a break from studying?" Leo asked, turning to face his friend with a smile. "You read my mind. I need some air and a change of scenery. Let's grab some lunch at your place. I could use a home-cooked meal," Ali replied, running a hand through his hair. "Sounds good. Chi Chi always makes enough for an army, so there's definitely food for an extra mouth," Leo laughed, referring to his family's longtime housekeeper and cook. Leo, with his blonde fade and blue eyes, looked every bit the upper-class pupil, while Ali, despite his near-east heritage, looked like a handsome Italian. As they walked towards Leo's house, the scent of Chi Chi's famous sweet and sour pork wafted towards them. It used to be one of Ali's favorites, but today, he hesitated as they entered the kitchen.

Leo leaned back in his chair, a forkful of tender meat poised mid-air as he glanced at Ali. “You’re going to love this, right? Chi Chi really outdid herself today.” Ali shifted uncomfortably, his brow furrowing as he pushed the plate away. “No, thanks. I can’t eat that. It’s haram.” A pause fell over the room. Chi Chi’s face tightened with concern. “But Ali, I made it just for you! You used to love it.” Ali’s brow furrowed. “I can’t. It’s haram!” “Haram?” Leo echoed, puzzled. “You never cared about that stuff before.” Chi Chi, bustling in the background, paused and frowned. “You eat, Ali. You need strength for your exams.” “No, Chi Chi. I can’t. I just can’t.” Ali’s voice was strained, almost desperate. Leo dropped his fork, the clatter echoing in the suddenly tense air. 

Chi Chi shook her head, her worry deepening as she turned back to the stove. “Let me get you something else, dear. Just a moment.” As she bustled away, Leo leaned closer, lowering his voice. “What’s really going on with you, Ali? You’ve been acting kind of… different.” Ali shifted in his seat, visibly uncomfortable. “It’s just finals. I’m stressed. I went to the mosque for some peace.” “Mosque?” Leo’s eyebrows shot up. “Since when do you go there?” “It felt right, okay? My parents—” “Your parents?” Leo interrupted, his tone incredulous. “They’re not even that religious.” “Right, but it’s part of my culture. I just wanted to connect.” Ali’s voice was rising, frustration bubbling over. “Whatever, man. Just eat something.” Leo threw a piece of pork onto his own plate, trying to lighten the mood. Chi Chi returned with a steaming bowl of rice. “Here, Ali! This is good for you. Just rice, no meat.” Ali accepted it silently, too distracted to respond. After lunch, Ali left the house, his shoulders hunched as he walked away. Chi Chi watched him go, her expression a mixture of concern and sadness. "Chi Chi, what's wrong?" Leo asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You're usually all smiles and warmth after one of your feasts." The older woman turned to him, her face etched with worry. "That boy, he is very, very ill." Leo's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean? He looks fine to me." Chi Chi shook her head, her dark eyes solemn. "In China, we know this illness well. It is a mental illness, a delusion that takes hold of the mind and twists it. We call it 'Islam'." "Islam... a mental illness?" Leo echoed, his brow furrowed. "But it's a religion, Chi Chi." "In China, we have different beliefs," she said, her tone firm. "This illness is infectious, Leo. You must be careful and try to avoid him." Leo's heart sank as he considered her words. “Watch him closely. The illness is contagious,” Chi Chi warned, her eyes narrowing. “It changes them. They forget who they are.”

The following days blurred together, and Leo found himself increasingly worried about Ali. Each time they met, Ali seemed more distant, his promises scattering like autumn leaves in the wind. He often promised Leo he would join him for hockey practice or study together, only to cancel last minute. “I swear I’ll come to the hockey game next week,” Ali declared one afternoon, his brown eyes wide with fervor. “You said that last time,” Leo replied, crossing his arms. “You didn’t show up.” “I promise, Leo! This time I will,” Ali insisted, his voice rising slightly. “I just need to—” “Do you even remember the last time we played? You were supposed to be there!” Leo’s frustration bubbled over. “Why are you making promises you can’t keep?” Ali shrugged, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face. “It’s different this time,” Ali insisted, his voice rising. “Just trust me.” “Trust you? You’ve been lying to me!” Leo shot back, exasperated. Chi Chi, overhearing their argument, took Leo by the side after Ali has left wiped her hands on her apron, her expression hardening. “It is the illness. He believes he must promise everything and nothing at all. They lie even to their own ‘god’.” A small laugh escaped her lips, but it held no mirth. “Pretending to fast, but after sunset, they eat like the swine.” Leo frowned. “That doesn’t make sense. How can he think that’s okay?” “Perhaps he thinks Allah cannot see in the night,” Chi Chi chuckled, her laughter a stark contrast to the tension in the room. “Their Allah seems rather powerless if he can’t see in the dark, don’t you agree?” Chi Chi said, shaking her head. “It's sad, really.” Leo leaned back in his chair, the wooden legs creaking against the tiled floor. “I just don’t get it. He was my best friend. Now he’s… different.” “Watch yourself, Leo,” Chi Chi said, her voice dropping to a whisper. “He is changing. It is not just in behavior but in appearance as well.”

In the weeks that followed, Leo watched helplessly as Ali transformed, his appearance shifting with each lie. The once-handsome boy now bore a beard, his eyes dull and lifeless. “Look at him!” Chi Chi remarked one afternoon, shaking her head. “The illness is taking hold.”

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the suburban streets as Leo and Ali walked home from hockey practice. Leo adjusted his grip on his stick, glancing sideways at his childhood friend. Ali’s brow was furrowed, a depth of worry etched into his features that Leo hadn’t seen in years. “Hey, Ali, you okay?” Leo asked, shifting the weight of his hockey gear to his other shoulder. “I’ve been thinking,” Ali said, his voice tight. “You should come with me to the mosque this weekend. It’s... it’s important.” “Really?” Leo raised an eyebrow, surprised. “You’ve never mentioned it before.” Ali’s eyes sparkled with an intensity that felt foreign. “It’s a place of peace, Leo. You’ll see. You should hear the teachings. They can help you.” Leo hesitated, the unease creeping into his chest. “I don’t know, man. I mean, I’m not—” “Just come with me. It’s enlightening.” Ali’s tone was almost pleading, but there was an edge to it that made Leo take a step back.  “Enlightening?” Leo raised an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism in his voice. “What’s enlightening about bowing down five times a day in the dust like a subdued slave?” Ali’s face flushed, and he gestured animatedly. “You wouldn’t understand. It’s not just about that. It’s about community, faith. You’d feel it if you just tried.” “Why are you so passionate about this all of a sudden?” Leo challenged, his voice rising slightly. “You used to be all about hockey and school!” Ali shrugged, a shadow crossing his face. “Things change. People change. You’ll understand if you just give it a chance.” Leo felt the weight of a thousand unspoken words hang in the air. “I just don’t want to lose you, Ali.” Ali’s laughter rang out, but it felt hollow. “You won’t lose me. You’ll find me.” As they reached Leo’s house, Ali paused at the gate. “You’ll come, right? I want to show you something.” “Let me think about it,” Leo replied, trying to keep his voice steady. Ali’s expression shifted, frustration bubbling just beneath the surface. “You can’t just think about it. This is a decision you need to make now.” Leo took a breath, the tension thick between them. “I’ll think about it,” he repeated, stepping back. “I need to go inside.”

“Fine,” Ali snapped, spinning around and storming off. His footsteps echoed off the pavement, a thud that resonated in Leo’s chest. Inside the house, Chi Chi was bustling in the kitchen, her apron dusted with flour. “Ah, Leo! You’re home! Would you like some of my sweet and sour pork?” Leo’s stomach churned at the thought. “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” Chi Chi’s brow furrowed. “You look troubled. What is it, my boy?” “It’s Ali. He’s been acting weird. He wants me to go to the mosque with him, and I don’t know…” He trailed off, unsure how to express his concern. “Ah, Ali,” Chi Chi sighed, her hands pausing mid-stir. “In China, we know there are mental illnesses that can spread. You must be careful. If you are near him, you may catch this illness too.” Leo swallowed hard, the weight of her words settling in his chest. He had always trusted Chi Chi, her wisdom and experience serving as a guiding light in his life. “What should I do?” “Distance yourself. Observe. If he is ill, you must protect yourself.” Leo felt a chill run down his spine. “But he’s my friend!” “Friends can lead us astray,” Chi Chi said, her voice firm.

Days turned into weeks, and Ali’s transformation became more pronounced. Leo watched in disbelief as his friend’s features changed—his nose grew more pronounced, his eyes dulled, and his skin got a dirty tan. Gone was the handsome boy akin an Italian, replaced by the stereotypical ugly Arab. The laughter that once filled their conversations had turned to fervent promises of a better life following a superstition Leo scarcely understood.

It was in the summer holidays after his graduation from school as Leo strolled through the bustling city center, his hands filled with shopping bags from their latest excursion. Chi Chi walked beside him, her eyes scanning the crowd with a watchful gaze and admiring the fresh fruits on the market.

“Chi Chi, look!” Leo pointed toward a figure leaning against a graffiti-covered wall. It was Ali, his childhood friend, a shadow of the boy Leo once knew. Clad in a track suit, Ali’s face had morphed into something almost unrecognizable. His nose was now prominent and hook-like, his eyes dull and flickering with a strange light. “Let’s go say hi,” Leo said, a hopeful lilt in his voice. “Wait.” Chi Chi grasped his arm firmly. “Don’t. It’s too late. He is a Talahon now.” “What’s a Talahon?” Leo’s brow furrowed in confusion. “That’s what they call themselves. A Talahon is usually a dumb and aggressive Islamic boy, who most certainly has a knife and is dangerous! They are so dumb that many of them couldn’t even swim.” Chi Chi's voice was low but firm, a warning mingled with sadness. “That can’t be true,” Leo protested, shaking his head. “Ali was never like that.” “Look at him.” Chi Chi gestured toward Ali, who was now laughing raucously with a group of similarly dressed boys, their boisterous energy a stark contrast to the respect Leo had once known in Ali. “He thinks he’s superior now, living off the work of others.”

Some months later, the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows on the busy street as Leo adjusted the strap of his backpack. He was just about to turn the corner when he spotted a familiar figure leaning against a lamppost. Ali. The last time Leo had seen him, they barely exchanged words. The distance between them had stretched like a rubber band, taut and unyielding. “Leo!” Ali called out, his voice dripping with a forced enthusiasm. “Hey, Ali,” Leo replied, trying to match his tone but failing. He could see Ali’s fuzzy beard glinting in the fading sunlight, and the once-handsome features were now marred by an unsettling transformation. “Where are you off to?” Ali asked, his eyes glinting with something Leo couldn’t quite place. “Just getting ready to leave for Israel tomorrow. Semester abroad,” Leo said, shifting his weight uncomfortably. “Ah, the land of the oppressors, huh?” Ali laughed, but it was a hollow sound. “Ali, that’s—” Leo hesitated, searching for the right words. “That’s not how it is.” “Isn’t it?” Ali stepped forward, his tone more aggressive.

“What are you doing out here?” Leo asked, trying to mask his discomfort. “Living the blessed life,” Ali replied, puffing out his chest. “While you’re off playing in the sand, I’m thriving. The white folks work for me now, like slaves, and Allah is on my side.” Leo’s heart sank. “That’s not true, Ali. You’re just—” “Just what? Superior?” Ali interrupted, his eyes gleaming with a strange fervor. “I’m living on my terms now. You’re the one who’s leaving. Who’s really winning here?” Leo clenched his jaw, frustration bubbling to the surface. “You’re not winning if you’re living off welfare. That’s not a victory, Ali.” A mocking grin spread across Ali’s face. “You’ll see. Once you’re back, I’ll have my empire built.” “Good luck with that,” Leo replied, turning to leave. “You think you’re better than me?” Ali shouted after him, but Leo just shook his head, the distance between them now feeling insurmountable.

Leo, back from his semester abroad, leaned back in his chair, the warm afternoon sun streaming through the kitchen window of his parental home, casting a golden hue over the newspaper spread out before him. He remembered the lingering excitement of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem — the vibrant nightlife, the laughter of friends, the music that pulsed through the streets. *What a life,*

he thought, flipping through the pages until a headline caught his eye. “Local tragedy: Young man drowns in river,” he read aloud, his brow furrowing. “They say the ambulance crew was attacked by a crowd of young men.” Chi Chi, busy folding fresh linens nearby, paused. “Oh, Leo, let me see that.” Her voice was soft, but the urgency in her tone made him turn the paper towards her. She glanced at the article, her expression shifting to one of sorrow. “The one who drowned was Ali,” she murmured, shaking her head. “He has become a dumb Talahon completely and unlearned how to swim.”

Leo’s stomach twisted. “What? No… it can’t be.” He stared at the headline again as if willing it to change. Chi Chi placed a hand on his shoulder, grounding him. “Leo, sometimes the ones we care for the most slip away. It is better for him now. At least, Ali doesn’t need to suffer under his mental illness anymore!” “Better?” Leo echoed, a bitter taste forming in his mouth. “He drowned, Chi Chi! He’s gone.” “Better than living in that state,” she insisted, her voice steady. “You must remember him as he was. Not as he became.” Leo nodded, tears brimming in his blue eyes. Chi Chi watched him, her expression softening. “You can light a candle for him, Leo. Every year at Christmas when the peace light is brought from Bethlehem, you can remember him. Hope he finds peace.” “Yeah,” he murmured, lost in thought. “I’ll do that. I’ll stand it on his grave.”

Tonight, he whispered a silent prayer, wishing Ali didn’t have to stay in hell for long despite his sins. Days turned into weeks, and as Leo resumed his studies, Chi Chi often walked through the city, her shopping bags swinging at her sides. Each time she spotted women adorned in headscarves, her heart ached. “Poor ill beings,” she would think, shaking her head. “Why doesn’t anyone care about them?”

Giovanni and Dayana Espinosa Madrigal Headcanons;

His full name is Giovanni Refugio Espinosa Madrigal.

He is the adopted son of Antonio Espinosa Madrigal.

Giovanni was adopted after Antonio caught him chasing Pico the toucan all alone in the forest when he was one years old. He'd been abandoned not long before.

Antonio didn't intend to adopt the boy but it just kind of happened because he and the family got attached. In less than a day. 

He will be three years old by d3. 

His adoption day is August 20th. Which, if it's anywhere close to his actual birthday would make him a Leo.

Giovanni doesn't go to school and likely won't be excited when he has to because he doesn't like being away from his father and sister for long. 

He spends a lot of time at Luisa, Ryder, and his father’s Animal Sanctuary and Vet service (known simply as the Encanto Animal Sanctuary for now). It is very likely that he will inherit this business or work for them at the very least when he's older. 

Doesn't know much about musicians but his favorite song is ‘Play That Monkey Music’, which his cousins introduced him to.

He doesn't have any idea that the big sister he adores absolutely cannot stand that song. 

Giovanni is one of the few people Arlo will allow to touch his hair—even if he's a little rough with it. 

His favorite shows are ‘The Great Mouse Detective’ and ‘The Thunderbolt Adventure Hour’. 

His favorite book to be read is ‘Simón el bobito’.

Giovanni does not know he is adopted. 

He has been described as playful, friendly,  sweet, clingy, easily excitable, and even tempered as well as quiet, fun loving, odd/strange, sensitive, fair, energetic, patient, curious, eccentric. But funnily enough he’s not really shy at all. 

Not long after he was adopted Mirabel made him a toucan plushie and green, white, and black toucan quilt. 

Eventually he will have the gift of Inverse Zoolingualism—meaning he will be able to speak through animals. 

He is single (because he’s three) and he’s friends with Micha Rivera and Ballard ‘North’ Nattura. 

Giovanni loves both of his grandparents very much but if he had to pick a favorite, he'd pick Félix.

Dolores is his favorite aunt and Camilo is his favorite uncle (including their partners in that statement). 

Outside of his immediate (adult) family, Mirabel is his favorite.

Out of his cousins he's the closest to Amada, Vera, Renata, and Hugo. 

Giovanni loves climbing but isn't very good at it since he's little. He also likes playing in the mud, jumping in puddles, helping Isabela garden, putting on puppet shows, playing with bugs, playing with animals, and chasing after butterflies and fireflies. 

Antonio often takes Giovanni and Dayana canoeing because they find it fun. 

Giovanni also likes hiking/backpacking, jogging, racing, sledding, foraging/berry picking, jumping in leaf piles,  swimming, and playing games like tag, hide and seek, leapfrog, and ‘mud cooking’. 

The three year old also adores playdough and making things out of it, and playing blocks. 

Antonio has his and Dayana's drawings tapped all over the fridge and the walls of his, Ryder, and Luisa's Animal Sanctuary. 

If Giovanni gets upset, you can figure it out pretty quickly because you'll find him hiding alone in a blanket/pillow/couch cushion fort. 

Giovanni also adores finger painting, dancing, and doing obstacle courses that his family set up. As well as playing on the playground.

Being three, he also finds joy in helping his friends and family do little tasks. He's basically become the family's little quest helper.

Loves clouds for no apparent reasons. 

Loves the shows Foodie Folktales (like Veggie Tales) and Abracadabra Avenue (like Sesame Street). 

Giovanni has been given several affectionate names by the family, including but not limited to: Gio, Vanni, Giov, Anni, Little G, Mi pequeño animalito, Cazador, Lambkin, Little Bear, Honeybee, Toucan Sam, pequeño montañero, Pequeño escalador, tadpole, little treefrog, little beedle, leapfrog, ducky, duck, chicken legs, nature heart, and Regalo del bosque (meaning ‘Gift of the forest’). 

Right now, because he doesn't have his gift, he's still in the nursery. Which he shares with Juan and Javier. But when he gets his room it's very likely that it will start looking a lot like Antonio's.

Giovanni is tiny. 

Despite not being the youngest-youngest in the family, he is considered the baby of the family and everyone adores him. 

He loves playing with Antonio’s hair and getting piggyback rides. 

Giovanni's favorite dessert is Cholado. 

His favorite candy is gummi snakes but he also like poison apples. 

His favorite drink is a tie between apple juice and chocolate milk. 

And his favorite food is Empanadas. 

Giovanni is rarely seen without his toucan plushie (which he named ‘Tuca’) and  ‘blankie’. 

One time, the family went on vacation and after checking out of their hotel he realized he'd forgotten to pack Giovanni's blankie after washing it. 

That was the day they discovered that Giovanni could in fact have a complete and utter meltdown. Luckily, one of the hotel workers found it and returned it when Félix’s brother, Gabriel, returned looking for it.

Unlike his extended family, Giovanni actually has two animal companions. A jaguar cub named ‘Cúmbila’ and a baby toucan that can barely fly named ‘Papaya’. 

Surprisingly, Antonio didn't have anything to do with Giovanni getting either of them. Parce’s cub and Pico’s baby bird both just genuinely liked Giovanni despite him not being able to understand them. 

Giovanni knows all the swear words, which he informed a horrified Carlos, Hugo, Leta, and Belinda once when they got in an argument because Carlos swore ,in front of him. 

His first word was ‘papá’, his second and third words were ‘birdie’ and ‘kitty’, and his fourth word was ‘Miércoles’. Agustín was so mortified that everyone knew who was to blame immediately. 

For the longest time, Giovanni didn't seem to be afraid of anything. Always running into danger and giving Antonio grey hairs. But it turns out, he is scared of something: vacuum cleaners. 

He, like Antonio as a child, does not like baths and is always difficult about getting one. The only way Antonio can even get him into the bath half the time is the promise of bath toys and magic bubbles. 

Giovanni isn't allowed in Antonio's room unsupervised because he once nearly drowned in the river in the room but was saved by the river dolphin in it last minute. The three year old was one so he thankfully doesn't remember it very well, if at all. 

The ravenette is constantly trying to help Antonio grow his seashell collection by stuffing his pockets full of ones he finds. These ‘seashells’ aren't always sea shells. 

Giovanni talks to his stuffed animals and toys, and tries to feed them often.

He loves Luisa hugs and will pout at anyone who stops him from getting one (it's surprisingly effective at getting the donkey farmer to leave Luisa alone). 

Antonio had to take him to get rabies shots once after he was bitten by an unknown animal. It was not a fun day. 

Giovanni took it like a champ though and he got a lollipop. 

Hugo dropped Giovanni one time when holding him and cried for hours because he felt so bad. Meanwhile, a then one year old Giovanni, was giggling and yelling ‘Again! Again!’

Giovanni has the biggest and cutest brown eyes you'll ever see with dark brown (almost black) hair that curls slightly at the bottom, dimples, a mole on each cheek a couple of inches under his eyes, and pale sienna skin. He's also missing several of his baby teeth. 

His hair tangles easily and Antonio struggled a bit with learning how to take care of it because he wasn't used to Giovanni’s type of hair. But he's got it down now. 

Giovanni is sweet but he doesn't forget and if you wrong his family or friends, and don't apologize or make up for it, he will not like you solely because of it. 

One time Pepa was in a mood and made it snow. The snow ended up being so deep that it went up to Giovanni’s knees and he sank into it. 

There is a video from that day of him whining ‘Dayana! Papá! I’m stuck!’ as Antonio tries to pull him out of it with Dayana's help: It's one of Pepa’s favorite videos/pictures of Giovanni. 

Giovanni's favorite colors are turquoise, mint green, white, and red. He doesn't like the color grey. 

He, Dayana, and Antonio all get along great with Félix's brother, Gabriel. 

The ravenette can hold his breath for a surprisingly long time. 

Once asked Antonio if “Tío Parce” was his mom. Antonio is still not sure how Giovanni came to that conclusion.

He also quite likes the Monster Pets (like Pokémon) series and pretends that he, himself, is a monster pet. He freaked Camilo out while playing Monster Pet because he wasn't saying anything other than his own name. Camilo thought he'd hit his head or something but no, he was just pretending to be a Monster Pet. 

It should come as no surprise that his favorite holidays are World Animal Day, Dog Appreciation Day, and Christmas (because the three year old really wants to see a reindeer🦌, preferably Rudolph, up close). 

One time he cried because Carlos accidentally dropped his stuffed animal because he thought his plushie was alive and dropping her hurt it. 

Refers to Parce and Pico and Crispi as ‘Tío’ and Bruno’s rats as ‘Tía, Tío, primo, and prima’ all respectively.

Giovanni does not understand why they are not considered adult supervision. 

The little boy is also fully under the impression that Antonio got him from the stork. 

He is the living definition of a ball of sunshine. 

If you make him cry, you will have the fury of every Madrigal within hearing distance rain down on you before you can even blink. Literally in the sense of Arlo and Pepa, in some cases. 

Camilo suspects that Hugo's biological father, Ario Berra Ausentarse, is also Giovanni's biological father but hasn't told anyone because he doesn't have proof other than the fact the two have strikingly similar appearances and the fact that Ario hightails it out of the area whenever either of them are in his vicinity. 

The only reason he's holding the information back is that he is positive he will have to cover up the man's murder if the familia even suspects that's true. Though it's starting to look like that's going to happen regardless because Pepa is getting suspicious of the similarities between Hugo, Giovanni, and Ario. 

He has a pair of duckie shoes that he wears everywhere and he has duckie inflatable arm floaties for when he goes swimming. 

Giovanni has epilepsy. Unfortunately the family discovered this during an incident with Ligera’s gift. Ligera still feels awful about it to this day. 

Camilo tried to prank him one time by giving him a potato as a gag gift. He then proceeded to be baffled when the three year old actually seemed to like and be thankful for the gift. 

There is a video of him, Dayana, and Antonio on vacation somewhere like this one (Giovanni learned the phrase from Carlos). 

Her full name is Dayana Noemí Espinosa Madrigal. 

She is the adoptive daughter of Antonio Espinosa Madrigal.

She is eight years old by d3. 

She was born on April 20th, which makes her a Taurus.

Dayana is a student at the Encanto's only public school and wants to keep it that way. From the way her cousins describe Auradon Prep, it is not a place she wants to be. 

She is very close to her adoptive father and her adoptive aunt, Dolores. 

She has a bird necklace that Pepa gave her.

Antonio adopted her because she greatly reminded him of Dolores, both personality wise and looks wise, and he couldn't stand to see her look so sad. She was more planned than her younger brother, Giovanni (who was adopted a year before her), was since Antonio adopting him just kind of happened while he had much more time to think about the decision with her. 

She was seven when he adopted her after a year of volunteering at the Orphanage where she lived. 

Dayana is closest to José, Renata, Vera, Elmira, Princesa, and Avila out of her extended family. 

She is adorably protective of Giovanni. 

Dayana is one of the few people in the know about the casino in José’s room and even helps him run along with Avila. 

She has a blackmail book that she rarely uses. 

People overlook her a lot, hence how she has access to information in said blackmail book. 

Dayana has quite a few ideas on what she'd like to do when she grows up, including but not limited to: a private inspector, a theme park performer or owner, archeology, and a historian. 

The eight year old has been described as clever, detail-oriented, hardworking, fair, shy, graceful, grateful, curious/inquisitive, firm, patient, helpful, caring, analytical, and occasionally very blunt. 

But she is also cautious, business minded, secretive, sneaky, reserved, passionate, and aspiring. 

Dayana has the  gift of ‘monster sight’, as she calls it. This means that she can basically see monsters that nobody else can, regardless of whether she believes in them or not like the boogeyman. 

This is how everyone finds out that José does not in fact have telekinesis but a monster that he can control following him around. José included. 

Needless to say, people were more than a bit freaked/creeped out. And it was debated for a while whether this was actually a gift or not. 

The family was worried she was unwell for a while but quickly figured out that that wasn't the case. 

Dayana has a pet kitten she got recently after Dolores’ cat, Romeo, brought it home that she named ‘Smittens’. 

Dayana does see the appeal in romance but she's also still eight and thinks boys have cooties, which she does not want, thank you very much. 

Her only friend outside of the family and their love interests is Tiger Lily and Lampwick's daughter, Blue Veronica. This doesn't bother her too much however, because Dayana is picky with who she's friends with. 

Dayana is a big fan of romance novels, horror stories, and detective stories but doesn't like poetry, though most people in the Encanto assume she does. 

She is also a big fan of theme parks and the performers there, and has learned several tricks of theirs from Auratube and how-to-books. 

She absolutely adores learning about history—archaeology especially—and wants to learn as much about it as she can. 

Elmira is her favorite musician but she also likes the band ‘Aladdin and The Lamps’ quite a bit too. Though she finds their song ‘play that monkey’ music to be overrated. 

She doesn't like The Dragon Slayers. She thinks they're too loud. 

Her favorite show is ‘the great mouse detective’ but she also likes watching the ‘Young and the Crownless’ and the ‘Real Princesses Of Charmingsville’. She's technically not supposed to but she's sneaky and rarely gets caught. 

Helped Bruno improve the mysteries in a couple of his Telenovelas.

Her favorite holiday is Valentine's Day.

Her favorite candy is gummi snakes.

She's been to the Heroes and Heroines Festival as well as the Seaside festival, and she adores both of them and hopes that she can go to them again. 

Dayana doesn't like Unification Day or the King Beast Honorary Holiday. She's been trying to understand why they exist lately but Antonio isn't really sure how to explain that. 

But she does like going to the ‘Museum of Cultural History’. It's one of her favorite places in Auradon.

She can't sing. 

Her favorite book to be read is ‘The Enchanted Life of Valentina Mejía’.

She isn't good at video games and doesn't like playing them but she understands why people would find them fun. They just aren't for her. 

Her favorite colors are red and gold but she prefers red. She hates the color orange though. 

Dayana is a surprisingly good climber and has given various family members a heart attack by climbing into faces she really shouldn't be able to reach. Like treetops, the cabinets, and the roof of Casita, for instance. 

She's very sensitive to what happens to animals and once tackled and punched a boy on the playground after seeing him kick a squirrel. Pepa was very proud.

Dayana carries a magnifying glass around with her in her bag. It is very fun to look through when bored.

She wants to learn how to surf but hasn't had the opportunity yet. 

But she has started learning gymnastics, which she finds just as fun. 

She is probably part of the reason José hasn't gotten running his casino. 

José splits his profits with her and Avila. 

Dayana can shut almost anybody down with a stare: she doesn't hesitate to use this ‘power’ to shut up anyone who tries to badmouth her friends and family. 

She’s a very sickly child—though thankfully nothing serious—somehow she almost always manages to catch a cold. 

She gets road rage even if she isn't the one driving. Which, you know, she never is since she's eight. 

Dayana is a nail biter.

She wants to meet Rudolph so badly that it's not even funny. 

She thinks Evie is very pretty and very nice, and if she had a favorite ak, it would be Evie. 

The girl didn't know how to read until Antonio taught her using the method his parents used to teach him when he first started volunteering at the orphanage when she was six. 

Dayana has a very high tolerance for sour, salty, and spicy food. 

She doesn't own a single pair of matching socks. Somehow she always loses one of them and it drives her crazy. 

She likes watching and feeding the birds. She also likes watching the butterflies. 

Mirabel is teaching her how to ride a horse. 

Loves catching fireflies and butterflies. 

Dayana is thinking about taking up falconry and beekeeping when she's older but isn't sure of it. 

She's also taken up wildlife photography after Antonio showed her how much fun it could be. 

The moment Antonio started thinking about adopting her, her door appeared— he doesn't know if it was a sign or if it was just because her birthday was a couple of days away but it's what convinced him that it wouldn't be a bad idea to adopt her.

The day Dayana was adopted, the Madrigal Family had a party for her— complete with gifts and everything. She cried.

She was very spoiled that day. It was really overwhelming but also nice. 

That day Mirabel gave her a handmade red and gold sea monster quilt along with a stuffed toucan with four eyes. Dayana named it ‘Bug Eyes’.

Dolores reads to her often when they spend time together since they both enjoy it. 

Dayana is very interested in the supernatural and cryptology. 

She also wants to know how the Encanto was created and is exploring the mystery in the hopes of finding the answer that no one knows the truth to.

Out of the family, Dayana is the most likely to adopt a monster/cryptid without a second thought.

She is also second most likely to take part in leverage-like heists, with José being the first most likely one. 

Dayana's favorite food is Encanto River Crispy Fried Fish. 

Her favorite dessert is Guava Treasure Cups. She also likes pumpkin pastries.

Her favorite drink is Passion Fruit Butterfly Bliss. 

She likes swimming with the fishes and she likes fishing.

Dayana is one of the few people Arlo will allow to touch his hair. 

Dayana is secretly afraid that if she messes up her family will no longer love her and send her back to the orphanage they got her from.

She's also afraid of getting rabies and does her best not to get bitten by any of the animals she hangs out with.

She doesn't like going to cemeteries because they scare her. 

Dayana can often be found digging around the Encanto, mainly Casita, for fossils and old remnants from history.

She is also fond of mushrooms and plant life—both fictional and real.

Her door shows her peering behind her shoulder at a towering shadow figure that’s grabbing her shoulder. The door frame is red.

The walls in Dayana’s room are a dark red color with a pattern of golden figures of cryptid, the ceiling looks like it was ripped right out of a fairytale with art of monsters, and the floor is made of a white and gold marble.

There are vines dangling from the corners of the ceiling and on the spots of the wall where there aren’t any figures of cryptids there are drawings of animals and cryptids and photos of her immediate family and wildlife. 

She has a waterbed in which her stuffed animals, quilt, and feather filled pillows in one corner of the room with a dark wooden nightstand bedside it. On that nightstand rests a mushroom shaped lamp along with a framed photo of her, Antonio, and Giovanni at the animal sanctuary taken a couple of days after she was adopted. 

She has a walk-in closet filled with shoes and clothes. In the back of her closet is a bookcase filled with detective, horror, and romance novels along with cryptology and wildlife books.

Across from Dayana’s bed is a comfy mushroom rolling chair and a desk where she can read and draw. Above her desk is a tv embedded in the wall where she can watch her favorite shows and listen to music. 

She also has a fairy shaped toy chest beside that and a little area where her little detective kit is. There’s also another door on the side where her photography darkroom is.

When Dayana gets overwhelmed outside of her room she is not able to shut the monsters out of her sight and when she gets overwhelmed inside of her room, the monsters on the wall light up and come to life to defend her.

Edit by @igetthedisneybox :

My edit of them with Antonio:

[tobiasdrake]

Inspired by some recent posts: What are your thoughts on people shipping Bulma and Goku?

Oh, my feelings on that ship are complicated.

I actually used to like that ship when I was younger. I've always been a fan of ships between characters who genuinely enjoy each other's company and work together to solve problems with minimal friction. When I was growing up, the go-to for canon ship writing was tension. Two characters are in tension with one another until they admit their true feelings and fall in love.

You could see it in anime with ships like Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo who absolutely, violently hate each other's guts 98% of the time but then occasionally are sweet together so you know they're really deeply in love. Japan loved tsundere romances back in the day. They were everywhere.

And you could see it in Western media like Han Solo and Leia Organa, where Han behaves as an aggressive sexual predator despite Leia's clear rebukes of his advances and it's supposed to be romantic because she's secretly in love with him the whole time.

80's and 90's Hollywood was all about women "playing hard to get". The cultural idea was that "No" means "Keep asking, big boy; I love it when you push my boundaries." Decades later it turned out a lot of people in Hollywood were sexual predators. Imagine that.

And I never really liked any of it. I wanted to see romances between characters who love and cherish each other, and make each other stronger through their mutual connection. I didn't want shows full of Shinji and Asuka romances, I wanted shows full of Frodo and Samwise romances.

This, I think, is why a lot of same-sex ships took off back in the day too; Heroes, especially male heroes, love nobody half as much as they love the best friend who fights by their side. They'll dump their girlfriends on the side of the road to go gallivanting off on a new adventure but they are ride-or-die for their bestie.

And I just. I couldn't help but look at that dynamic and ask, "How come the ride-or-die bestie that the hero's forever loyal to and whose emotional bond takes up half the story, isn't the love interest?" So, like a lot of people, I start shipping those dynamics over the canon ships.

Goku and Bulma aren't really ride-or-die besties. I mean, on Bulma's side, they are. But Goku's the kind of person who goes no contact with everyone for five years without notice and then shows up like "Hey guys, check out this cool technique I learned." Not out of malice or anything; That's just how he is. It's a special event any time you even get to see him. He has no ride-or-die bestie. He lives entirely in the moment.

But back in the day, when I didn't really know Goku or Bulma that well beyond what the dub was doing with Z, they seemed like they fit that mold. And I was about it.

These days, I have a much firmer grasp on the characters and I cannot imagine any version of a Goku and Bulma relationship that wouldn't feel skeevy and predatory on Bulma's part.

With Chi-Chi, there's the context that Chi-Chi's as much of a dimwitted naive backwoods hick as Goku is, so they mutually dumbassed themselves into a domestic situation neither truly understood. Bulma doesn't have that defense. She's cunning, well-educated, and extremely socially aware.

If Bulma and Goku had gotten together instead of Chi-Chi and Goku, it would have felt like Bulma taking advantage of Goku's naivety; Especially when that's literally something she tried to do the first day they ever met.

If Goku were a character that was more socially aware and, y'know, actually interested in romance at all, that would be a different story. But as it is, for both the integrity of the characters and their fantastic relationship with one another? I do think it's probably best that Goku was already spoken for before he became hot enough for Bulma to start considering him as a Himbo Arm-Candy upgrade from Yamcha. (Which she briefly did.)
