The seven husbands of Taylor Swift- a comparative essay. 

so I know that this isn't my usual smut post and i've been kinda MIA but I've been reading The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo and there's many, many references to Taylor swift and/ or Kaylor so I want to write an essay on it. I am posting it to tumblr to give me a reason to finish it cause I never finish essays. this is just the opening paragraph (or half of it depending on if I add to it or the feed back I get back from my bestie), I've been working on my writing and I'm very proud of this so far. I hope you like it and I am open to feed back if you have any :)

Taylor swift, a woman whose closet is made of glass, and the fictional character Evelyn Hugho from “The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a woman who spent half her time loving Celia St. James  and the other half hiding how much she loved her both have one thing in common, they fell in love with a woman while dating a man. It started in a closet at an awards show after being told her new friend, Celia St. james, is a lesbian Evelyn decided to confront the red haired woman which leads to a kiss. At some point between 2010-2012 Taylor and Karli met while Swift was dating her then beard Harry Styles, their first public interaction was on twitter on January 17th 2012 with Karli tweeting “hey @(Taylorswift13) love the @(vogue magazine) cover! Your kitchen or mine?”.  Many fans often compare Evelyn and Taylor, they being two women who have had a secret relationship with a women (or multiple in Taylor’s case- Hey, dianna).

my recent reread of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo made me realise just how differently you can see or experience a story when you read it in different phases of your life, so now I'm just marvelling at the wonder of it all.

When I first read Evelyn Hugo back in 2021, I'd just come out as a lesbian and was finally exploring what it meant to read about women falling in love while knowing I could, too. So obviously, I was very invested in Evelyn and Celia's story and most of the rest of the book was pretty secondary to that. I believed without a doubt that Evelyn's One Great Love was Celia, and that was, to me, the relationship that was most prevalent in the entire story.

Then, when I reread it a month or so ago (3 years later) I went in with a whole new perspective. Because now I've begun to realise that maybe I'm not a lesbian, maybe I'm ace instead, and all I'd really love from a companion in life is their platonic love. So, you've probably guessed it if you've read the story, I got way more invested in Evelyn and Harry than I did in her and Celia this time. Because actually, Harry was another Great Love in Evelyn's life, and isn't it beautiful that people have room for more than one really important relationship in their life at the same time? And I started to realise, Harry's presence was far more widespread in the book; I just hadn't attached as much value to that presence last time because I was going through different things in my own life.

And isn't it just fascinating how the things that are going on in your own life can colour your perception of a story and its characters so much? Obviously I read the same story twice. I took away the same main points and had just as much fun reading it both times. But there's something there, something about the way I read and experienced it, that's just slightly (but fundamentally) different to my understanding of the story, its characters, and their relationships.

Neither is more right or wrong than the other, I think. In all likelihood, if I'm to pick this up again in another 3 years, I'll have a slightly altered perception of it again -- and that will, once again, be just as right and just as wrong as the one I have now, and the one I had 3 years ago.

So, looking at that, and looking at how many people have read this book, I think it must've been experienced in at least thousands of different ways. Small ways, sure. But different and unique to each and every individual's perspective -- at the specific time in their life they decided to pick it up. And isn't that beautiful?

No words. Evelyn Hugo, the enigma, the legend, I love you. The anticipation of what would happen next in her life, when she'd see Celia St.James again, what would the next marriage entail, had me on the edge of my seat. I don't know why, but this book kept me hooked to the very end. Evelyn and Harry's relationship with one another was so precious. Celia frustrated me sometimes, even though I was rooted for them to make it through with each other. Evelyn, my love, was the perfect amount of ruthless to survive and rise in the cutthroat movie industry. I don't care what anyone could ever say about her, she is flawed, she uses people for her again, she certainly had ambiguous morals, willing to get her hands dirty to keep those she loves safe, she is perfection. I don't think I'd ever get over her. I felt so bad for Monique, having to learn about the actual circumstances of her father's death and that Evelyn kept the truth hidden but still somewhat processing to make peace with it and writing a biography that does Evelyn justice. She had guts even though in the beginning she hadn't acknowledged it. I am going to lie down.

No, because at first I was like, ‘Well, plenty of books don’t even get adaptations, so I’d be content with either a movie or a tv show!’ But the more I think about, the more I’m like, no, it’s actually such a waste to not turn The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo into a limited series. 

Like, turn every husband into an episode, except it’s not just that, it’s a phase of Evelyn’s life. I’m sorry, I just have to imagine that something is gonna be underdeveloped.

It would be so perfect! So, half of the first episode would be about Monique, and then it goes onto Evelyn’s early days in Hollywood and her marriage to Ernie. Then, episode two is really important because it gives her marriage to Don all the attention it deserves while also developing her relationship with Celia. Then the next episode goes in depth about what the first few years of Evelyn and Celia’s love was like, while also developing her fears until she elopes with Mick. Rex’s episode bridges the five years they spent apart. Harry’s is all about their family and the ultimate downfall of it! Evelyn and Harry stay married into the episode after when Max convinces her marry him. And then the explosive finale. It’d literally be perfect. Like, all these eras deserve time and development.

And I am so fucking excited for the Daisy Jones show, it looks amazing, but can I disagree when I see posts saying it should’ve gotten the movie instead? No. Because that story goes over less time and it feels like it doesn’t need as much time to develop the main part of the story. I don’t think anyone would be upset if they skimmed over a lot of the beginning stuff. I’m excited to see that beginning stuff in the show, but still. Still.

[pinkpastels113]

do you read books? if yes, do you have any recs? hope ur having a good week !

yesss and mostly romance books lmfao so look out:

she gets the girl- rachel lippincott and alyson derrick

wlw young adult romance where one helps the other be less awkward and nervous in talking to their crush but ends up falling for her instead while "helping," gasp v cutesy and scandalous and adorably cliche no?!

the seven husbands of evelyn hugo- taylor jenkins reid

need i explain further??! it's a modern staple in the wlw community and i am still losing my mind over the plot twist at the end of book and how she was so in love with celia hhhhhhh and ive only read it once so far!! i think i consumed it in like the span of three or four days lmfao bc it was THAT good. i was HOOKTH. the scenes are starting to fade away in clarity in my mind tho (im a very visual reader as in, i visualize and picture scenes in my mind when i fully immerse myself in a book or fanfic) in contrast with the way the book is collecting dust in my bookshelf/nightstand rn AHHAHHA i will need to reread it again soon (and lose my psyche over it!! again!!)

scrappy little nobody- anna kendrick

reaffirmed my love for anna kendrick bc it was very entertaining, amusing, and revelatory for me to read a memoir that was entirely in her voice; it felt as if she was speaking directly to me, yknow?? she was hilarious in her choice of wording and stories and i didn't even realize that i had finished the book until it was the last page <33 she is one of those actresses that actually make you feel like you are on the same earth as them bc they are human too (unlike taylor for me sometimes adfshjhk)

heartless- marissa meyer

slowly making my way through this book rn (amidst work, writing, reading fanfic, being addicted to tumblr, playing wild rift, etc etc) and so far so good! a spin on how the queen of hearts of wonderland came to be (and yes i bought the book after watching descendants ror lolololol bc i became SUPER obsessed with the qoh and her daughter in that universe <33); how she was supposed to marry the king but wasnt really interested in him bc she just wanted an ordinary life aspiring to be a baker and how she secretly fell in love with someone else instead gasp!! forbidden affairs who??! gregory maguire, the author of wicked, had good things to say ab it too so im confident in my rec!

percy jackson and the olympians series- rick riordan

after the kiss- lauren layne

ummm so yea im embarrassed to say that i bought the ENTIRE series on kindle as well as the spinoff bc like fuckk i became too engrossed with the characters, the relationships, and their world i fear, a couple years back, and i was lapping up every single morsel of interaction btw them when the author would write them in in other books in the franchise. ever heard of how to lose a guy in 10 days?? wellll this first book in the series is basically exactly like that movie but with the roles reversed, with the guy trying to shake the girl off and the girl desperately clinging onto the relationship bc of/for an article. just with.... smut ADFDJHGHJK (i remember literally trying to search for fanfiction for the franchise bc like how can there not adafhjk. and another thing ab the smut!! it's like... actually really well written?? very emotional and not super duper explicit while still being hot, iirc, at least compared to some of the other stuff that ive read sdfshjk. like there's actually feelings involved separately and bc of the boombayah yknow? i actually wish some of the smut that i come across in fanfic sometimes can incorporate that soft/romantic/angsty aspect too haha)

what else what else hmmm

i never got to finish the fault in our stars but that is a rec too, twilight (if only it's bc it's like a huge cultural phenomenon LOLLLL; from what i have read so far it's... decent?? if a bit cringey), sense and sensibility is decent so far as well; and i just got ahold of my copy of wicked and the wednesday novel soooo yall might (ie definitely will) hear from me regarding those soon tooooo

[curi0us-gh0st]

I love you, I think. (WinRina)

pairings: Kim Minjeong x Yoo Jimin.

word count: 1,2 k

genre: angst.

summary: Karina's beautiful mess with her own and Winter's feelings.

warnings: none, just bad language, Winter as Celia, Karina as Evelyn, self homophobia. [no review]

a/n: I just wrote it, and well, I'm going to sleep crying... inspired by "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", this is no hater of Karina's current relationship, just for entertainment purposes.

The beginning is always strange, bittersweet, we could never know that we would end up kissing in a damn laundry room, we could never know that we had fallen in love at that stupid moment, maybe she was wanting that? or maybe it was my stupid drunken heart that got us into this storm.

I remember that after composing myself and thinking about what I had done, I ran after her to explain myself, afraid that she would tell the press that I was a deviant, that would end my life, but she, she...

“I'm not…” I said as she closed the door behind us. “I just… I had a friend in high school, my best friend. And we both…”

“I don’t want to hear that story.” Jimin spoke, I felt my body shudder.

“Okay” he said. “It’s just… I don’t… There’s nothing wrong with me.”

“I know there’s nothing wrong with you.”

I looked at her, trying to understand exactly what she wanted with me, what she wanted me to confess.

“But I know one thing” she continued. “I know I was in love with Hyunjin.”

“I know it well!” She said defensively. “I know you’re in love with Hyunjin. I always knew that.”

“I said I was in love with Hyunjin. But I don’t think that’s been true for a long time.”

"Right."

“Now all I can think about is you.” She said so, and went upstairs to pack her bags.

Maybe, just maybe she was really waiting for me, or she really wanted to tell me…

She hid in my apartment for a week and a half, living in purgatory. We slept together, but without doing anything, we just fell asleep side by side in my bed.

During the day, she would read in my apartment, while I went out to record variety shows.

We didn't kiss. Sometimes we would touch each other, arm to arm, hand to hand, but without ever looking into each other's eyes. In the middle of the night, however, before falling asleep, I would curl up behind her and she would lean against me, feeling the warmth of my belly against her, my chin in the crook of her neck.

I should have believed that we were just a passing whim, but the look at her, that look...

She found me still wearing a robe, drying my hair in front of the sink. Jimin came to me, looking deep into my eyes and said: “I think I love you.” She undid the knot on my robe that was closed.

Well, that night, Jimin and I slept naked, holding each other. We no longer pretended that our touches happened by accident. The next morning, I could hear her, breathing deeply, all proud.

Within those four walls, there was no reason to be ashamed.

I should have known from the beginning, but, all of her actions, her “I love yous”, there is also that letter when she was traveling.

“My dearest Minjeong,

Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with her smile.At least for me. You are the only thing in this world that deserves devotion.

With all my love, Jimin.”

This was before the information spread, before dispatch shared the images and the news. Leaving everyone out about our meetings, no one cared about us anymore.

I was anxiously waiting for a message from her, saying it was a misunderstanding, but no. I woke up to the companies responding and saying they were getting to know each other after the show.

So when she arrived at our dorm, we started a fight after she confessed what happened.

“You are distorting the facts.”

“You’re a coward, and I can’t believe I couldn’t see that sooner.”

“I did all this for you!” She screamed.

At that point, I had one hand on the door handle and the other on the trunk handle.

“You didn’t do a damn thing for me” I replied, my face burning. “She did it for herself. And because she can't bear the idea of not being the most famous woman in the world. You did everything to keep your precious fans, who watch your comebacks just to see you, and to be able to get a three-second peek at your boobs. It was for them you did it.”

“It was because of you, Minjeong. What do you think your family will say if the truth comes out?”

I screamed when she said that, and turned the doorknob.

“You can be sure you’ll lose everything if people find out what you are.” She said.

“What we are” I replied, turning to her. “Don’t think you’re different from me.”

“Yes, I am” she replied. “And you know I did.”

“What the hell.”

“I can fall in love with a man, Minjeong. I can get married if I want, have children and be happy. And we both know that, in your case, the story is different.”

I stared at her, narrowing my eyes and pursing my lips. “Do you think you’re better than me? And that? So I’m the one who’s sick, and you’re just messing with me?”

She held me, maybe she reasoned what she had just said. But I just pulled my arm back.

“Don’t ever touch me again.”

“I care about you, Minjeong. More than with myself. I don't know if your career would get back on track — or your life — if Ididn't do something. So I did the only thing I could. And it worked.”

“It didn’t work, Karina. You're dating."

“I’ll figure it out.”

I looked at the floor and laughed at her. “Apparently, you know how to find a way around any situation, right?”

"Yes. Yes I know."

“But when it comes to showing a little humanity, you don't even know where to start.”

"You can not be serious."

“You are a slut, Karina. Let men use you in exchange for fame. And that’s why I’m leaving you.”

Leaving without looking at her, walking to the elevator to go to the garage, she came after me and stood there, paralyzed, next to the car.

I threw the suitcase on the passenger seat. Then I opened the driver's door and turned to her, standing.

“I loved you so much that I thought you were everything to me.” She said, in tears. “I thought people were in the world to find each other, and that the purpose of my life was to find you. And being able to touch your skin, smell your hair, feel your breath, hear your thoughts. But I don’t believe that anymore.” I wiped my eyes. “Because if the right person for me is someone like you, I prefer solitude.”

Her cruel and ignorant words hit my heart, shattering it even more than it already was. My face remained impassive, paralyzed.

“I think we’re actually not good for each other.” He said, getting into the car.

“I don’t think so.” That was all she said.

“Goodbye, Karina.” She said at the last minute. Then she put the car in motion and I navigated the city aimlessly.

Three days passed, then five years passed without talking to Jimin, she didn't call me. She didn't write to me. I knew what she was doing only because of what she said in the newspapers and the gossip that circulated around the city.

Maybe this is the tragic story of how I stopped loving Yoo Jimin, or not.

[madisonmontgomeryimagines]

And when i say The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo au! with Madison as Evelyn and reader as Celia

You've always heard that love is like a dance, there is give and take, trust, passion. Perhaps it would be better to say that love is like being strapped to a wooden board and having someone throw knives at you as you spin helplessly. At least, that was about the best comparison you could make. Madison was sharp and had no problem being blunt about her feelings, had told you from day one over those milkshakes that her ambition came before everything else.

Loving her - being loved by her, in her own way, made you enjoy those things about her. It made you admire them, because when she looked at you with that smile that made your heart twist, it was enough to pretend you were as important to her too. You hadn't expected to feel at home when you unofficially moved in with her, but the domestic routine the two of you had fallen into felt easier than breathing.

When it rains, it storms, however. Madison could be cruel, and in the heat of the moment your words stopped seeking truth and only sought to wound her just as much as you were hurting. It made you feel sick and miserable hours later when clarity slowly rolled in in the wake of your temper, and the constant ebb and flow of guilt and bliss was perhaps the most accurate feeling to describe your relationship. You didn't want to hurt her, but you didn't think you could handle being hurt by her, so you ran.

Years later, carefully avoiding each other and trying (unsuccessfully) to move on, she finds you in the bathroom at an awards ceremony. Silky fabric teases glimpses of her thighs in the dress adorning her form, kissing her skin the way you still craved to. The second you taste remorse on her scarlet lips you know you've forgiven her, you'll forgive any transgression to feel her under your fingers again, to curl into her warmth and hold her while you doze.

Madison has your back against the door, and when you hear the click of the lock sliding into place, your fingers grip her tighter, your mouth chasing hers. When Madison's fingers run up your inner thigh, slowly drag your dress up with them, it gets harder to ignore that piece of you that whispers she might be your soulmate.

When I read Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo it hurt a lot when Evelyn told Celia something like “I can fall in love with a man, get married and have kids and be happy. You on the other hand…”

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about the biphobia in the book (some characters being biphobic like Celia herself from what I remember) and mostly point out how Celia was toxic, but very few people mentioned how lesbophobic Evelyn was (and also toxic).

Tbh I’d never forgive if someone said this to me (what Evelyn told Celia) lol, rub it in your face that you will never have a relationship accepted by society while being genuinely attracted to the person you’re with… Low blow

[flamingogreen]

Hi!, I was reading “The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo” and I love how you can see that Evelyn and Celia had a different perspective of the relationship.

Celia truly loved Evelyn, she didn’t care if she lost everything to be with her girlfriend, she didn’t wanted to hide and she wanted to live with her and share every moment of her life with her and just be hers without caring of what other people think.

Meanwhile Evelyn loved her but she was afraid of what people would think, she didn’t want everyone to hate her and to thought she was sick, she was in love with Celia but she wouldn’t give up her whole life for her.

I just love the perspectives, she was sunshine I was midnight rain…

Cheryl Crane- An Important Parallel to Evelyn Hugo

(Cheryl Crane and her mother Lana Turner, accessed from IMDB)

I recently finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins-Reid. It is a 5/5 and I highly recommend reading it if you haven't yet. I'm in a book hangover from it, and naturally that means I'm readings anything online I can find about it.

I'm not sure this has been stated anywhere, but as far as I'm aware TJR hasn't directly named her, but I think her story is very relevant and has some interesting parallels to the story. Obviously, as with Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth, there are many differences between them and the characters the book presented, but I think she's worth acknowledging.

Cheryl Crane (CC initials is also interesting, could be coincidental, Connor Cameron?) was the sole child of Lana Turner, who was a Hollywood it-girl that many lauded as a sex-symbol that was remarkable for her acting abilities (this could be compared to Celia's image which contrasted Evelyn or Ruby). Turner had also had 7 marriages, and Cheryl was born during her marriage to Stephen Crane. They divorced quickly, and Cheryl was raised in LA, where she was "famous at birth and pampered silly" (Connor had a similar upbringing).

When she was 14, Cheryl stabbed her mother's lover to death while defending her from his domestic abuse. She was found to be justified in the act of self-defense, but faced a lot of media attention that only compounded with the trauma she had undergone. In my mind, this is reflected in both Evelyn's own childhood with her father and in how Connor is always under the public eye, so when she acts out in her early teens, it isn't private but something published on front covers.

Most importantly, in my opinion, is Cheryl's identity and memoir. She fell in love with a model named Joyce LeRoy, and revealed her identity publicly in a memoir in 1988. Joyce was her one true love, finally marrying in 2014 (which could have reflected the changing social acceptance of queer people, and it had only been legalized in 2013 in California where they resided). In some articles, they refer to Joyce with the nickname "Josh". I'm unable to find anywhere that elaborates, but this could be a pseudonym like 'Edward' that allowed them to more covertly communicate. Cheryl actually ended up being diagnose with Breast Cancer, which she recovered from and is living quite a quiet life. Much of the information we have is from ghost-written memoirs from 1988 and 2011 (the second focused on her mother and published after her death).

When Cheryl had told her mother the plan to write about her identity and relationship (she had already come out to her at 13, which initially shocked her mother but she quickly came to understand it), Lana Turner had expressed concern over what kinds of social stigma it would open them up to (Lana seemed to be, first and foremost, concerned with protecting the people she loved similarly to Evelyn. She didn't care about her daughter being a Lesbian, but what the world would do because of it). Lana stated that Cheryl's partner, Joyce, felt like a second daughter to her.

Later, when Cheryl was publishing mystery novels, many of her interviews remind me of the way Hugo would answer. When asked if she wished she was just Cheryl Crane and not The Cheryl Crane, she said she wouldn't change a thing, that she loved her mother. When asked about her mother's legacy mainly being the scandals she was involved in, Cheryl said that this wild life has kept her image alive when so many were forgotten.

[zutaralesbian]

Hi! I saw you once say that you find Ian as a character similar to Celia from tshoeh. (Other than them both being gay redheads lmao). Care to elaborate on that?

Hi!

Most of my observations of that come from how they approach their relationships with Mickey and Evelyn respectively.

Both Ian and Celia (initially) kind of have this stubborn, naive optimism that everything is going to turn out okay, despite the situation that both dynamics find themselves in. (Ian/Mickey are dealing with Mickey having a violently abusive, homophobic father and Evelyn/Celia are engaging in a gay relationship while living in the 60’s…an era where it was literally illegal to be gay in the United States). Despite this though, Ian and Celia are both upset about not being able to go public with their relationships. Meanwhile, Mickey and Evelyn have the more pessimistic (and realistic tbh…especially in Evelyn’s case) viewing of their situations and have to remind Celia and Ian exactly why they have to hide.

There’s a scene in tshoeh where, after Evelyn and Celia are gossiped about in a newspaper, Evelyn decides that she has to stomp out the rumors and be seen in public with a man in order to keep them safe from being discovered. Celia immediately doesn’t like the idea and they get into an argument, with Celia advocating that there’s nothing wrong with them loving each other and Evelyn reminding Celia exactly what they could face if their relationship is discovered.

The first time I read that scene, it immediately reminded me of Ian and Mickey’s “we got nothing to be ashamed of” “what fucking world do you live in?” scene.

Additionally, both Ian and Celia can say some downright mean things when their own feelings are hurt. Celia calls Evelyn a whore more than once throughout the course of the book, a word she knows will hurt her. Ian calls Mickey a coward in 4x11 and then the f slur in S5.

Hey everyone this is why I think Celia from the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo deserves her own book!

From the moment we are introduced to Celia, we are drawn to her strength, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty to Evelyn. Despite facing her own struggles, including facing discrimination and prejudice due to her sexuality, Celia remains a pillar of support for Evelyn, always putting her needs first and standing by her side through thick and thin.

Celia's story is one of resilience, defiance, and unwavering love. As a woman in a predominantly male-dominated industry, Celia faces countless challenges and obstacles on her path to success. Yet, she never wavers in her determination to achieve her dreams and carve out a place for herself in a world that is often hostile and unforgiving.

Furthermore, Celia's own romantic relationships, particularly her tumultuous affair with Evelyn, provide a rich and complex backdrop for a story of love, heartbreak, and redemption. As readers, we are left wanting to know more about Celia's past, her struggles, her triumphs, and her ultimately tragic fate.

A standalone novel focused on Celia would not only give readers a deeper insight into her character and motivations but also provide a much-needed exploration of the experiences of LGBTQ+, women in Hollywood during the mid-20th century. Celia's story is one that deserves to be told, celebrated, and remembered for generations to come.

In conclusion, Celia St. James is a character who has captured the hearts of readers with her resilience, intelligence, and unwavering love for Evelyn Hugo. Her own story is a rich tapestry of love, loss, and triumph, and it is high time that she is given the spotlight she deserves in her own book. Taylor Jenkins Reid, if you're listening, please consider giving Celia the platform she so rightfully deserves.

I'M FINE 🥹

Good heavens, I finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo a few minutes ago...

I'm slightly sad and devastated at the thought of how it ended and why it ended, but...

This was the best book I've ever read (it was the only one I've read so far), I never thought printed letters could make someone feel something so profound.

I swear I don't want to give spoilers, but heavens! I want to marry someone proposing to me in our bedroom with hair garters, just me and her. 👈🏻😭

I can say that my relationship with Evelyn is love and hate, there are so many things that this woman does that inspire you and that make you think that you shouldn't do the same. She teaches a lot.

I would recommend this book to anyone, but specifically to people who are afraid of doing something they enjoy and who are trapped inside a glass prison.

For those who, above all, want to climb to the top, whether in a good or bad way, just to acquire the knowledge that it's not just you who wants to win, or something like that.

I do not know what I'm talking!! I simply loved it, I cried, I laughed, I hated it, everything and a little more. 😭😭

I don't have words to describe what I'm feeling now, after finishing, but I know I'll take this learning with me.

I love you, Evelyn Hugo, Celia St James, Harry Cameron, Connor Cameron, Robert Jamison, Monique Grant... <3 (is this a spoiler? I don't know)
