how do you clone a fey? that's trick question; and fey love those!
@the-navistar-carol (<333) brought up a good point while I was talking about my changeling danny au with her -- Dani! How would she exist in this au? Danny's a changeling - a fae. How would Dani, a clone of him, be created? How do you make a fey? Not through any means that Vlad is doing; you can't make a fey through unnatural means, considering the Fair Folk are nature. And Vlad's not a fey himself -- he's a halfa, even if he could make a fey, it's not in his best interest too. He's a powerful ghost, but even the weakest fae can overpower the strongest ghost. He won't want a clone of Daniel to be more powerful than him.
(In a three tier hierarchy it goes Ancients -> Fae/Mythos -> Ghosts. They all live in the Infinite Realms, but on different Planes. The fae live above the Ghost Zone in the Fey Wild, while the Mythos live beside the Wilds or down in the ghost zone depending on where they are. Places like the Frozone, the Athens Acropolis, and other such large islands climb throughout all three Planes.)
(While Ghosts can travel into the Fey Wild, its generally advised against as the ectoplasm tends to manifest differently there due to close contact magic. It can make it rather disorientating for a ghost, and as human spirits, the Fae living there would jump them faster than they could blink. So unless you're willing to play mind games with 'steal thy name eat thy face' fae, most ghosts keep out of the way of the Wilds. Fey can travel down into the Ghost Zone, they just don't bother.)
That's of course, not taking into account if Vlad even knows Danny's a fae himself. Vlad doesn't ring me as someone who really cares much about ghost culture or the going ons of the GZ. He might be aware that fae exist, but the moment he realizes he can't use them for personal gain he just doesn't bother with them. The risk is greater than the reward, and he'd rather not get eaten. But lets assume he's aware by now that Danny is fey, and has to take that into account while cloning him.
So, how does Dani exist? Good question! Honestly; i'm not sure. She might not exist at all, or if she does, she's more halfa than fey. Vlad would need a lot of human dna and ectoplasm to balance out all that fae magic. He manages to steal DNA from Jack and Maddie to do it, and since Jack's fey ancestry is very dormant its much easier to use alongside Danny's DNA.
In turn, it results in a little girl whose more human-ghost hybrid than clone. With that little extra boost in fey magic making her not a fey, but still relatively powerful. Dani is less of a clone and more of a lab-grown little sister. It's a rather tedious, complex process that has Vlad tearing his hair out trying to figure out. But he does eventually figure it out.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dpxdc crossover#changeling danny au#danielle fenton#danny phantom#still no mention of DPXDC yet so i'm adding the DP tags if thats alright lmao#how do you clone a fey? trick question! you can't. you can only make something that's not-quite fey but has ties to them.#dani's fey ancestry is an ounce of water compared to the bucket of everything else. which is more than the drop in the pond compared to jac#but not quite as powerful as changeling daniel. whose more fey than human at this rate. which is very fun to think about in terms of#his rogues haha. imagine going into the human realm about to cause chaos only to come face to face with a baby fey. a changeling.#i'd simply pass away a second time. where is your parent. human raised or otherwise?? are they nearby??? shit i thought fey hated urban#cities. what are YOU doing here baby man. im going to get eaten holy fuck. that's so many teeth.#. oh. oh you think you're a ghost. hm. hmhm. i can work with that. lets just. make sure you keep thinking that okay :) great :))#like jumpscare dude. i just saw my afterlife flash before my eyes. hello unsupervised fey child. holy fuck are you teeny tiny.#vlad probably uses some of his own dna to get the halfa effect so really dani's more of a lab grown *half* sister. Danny's gonna end up#stealing her anyways in the end. his sister now :). non-human danny my beloved#catch me using fey and fae interchangeably. my bad#some food for thought sorry if its hard to understand.#steal thy name. eat thy face fey

what is your favorite thing about charles and your favorite thing about erik? separately, as in what you like most about their characters :]
a devious question this one is, my friend!!! it's hard enough for me to explain my thoughts cohesively, but having to pick ONE thing i particularly love is difficult. with characters like charles and erik, theres been so much done with their characters over the decades and so they have so many components to them that make them so interesting and fun to observe. BUT I TRY FOR YOU TODAY. under the cut i kinda ramble and the size of this text box makin me anxious
i think if i were to be simple and broad, what i enjoy most about charles is his determination to help others, even if he isn't really thanked and/or if people don't even like him. ofc, this isn't to say he hasn't done wrong- to be honest, the fact he does wrong/questionable things at times is another aspect of him i really enjoy, maybe because- broadly speaking- he's meant to be altruistic (intent vs outcome and all that). i don't know if that's super exciting to most people, but it is for me
as for erik, my reason for liking him is easier to explain tbh. To Be Simple And Broad, his progression from villain to antihero over the decades has been fun to observe (as much as i have so far anyhow) and analyze. i think to be a bit more specific, him using his rage and pain as justifications for his villainous actions is definitely what compels me the most: hurt people hurt and the sort, an idea i've always found interesting (something something vicious cycles and the like). yet now, he recognizes this wasn't really. A Just Thing To Do and is beginning to change that, which i enjoy
#snap chats#may you forgive me anon i always feel awkward explaining things AVELKJEAKLJ#i feel esp awkward cause i haven't read toooo much of the comics yet- like ive read. an ok amount so far krakoa wise#can you guys tell im fighting god himself to Not write a fuckin. NOVEL#im so sorry i have an over-explaining problem my mom was mean to me growing up but anyways#i definitely want to read more and more outside krakoa. the more i read the more im fascinated by these two and their history#but to continue my prattling. as if the three paragraphs above arent enough This Is Not A Thesis RELAX#i think a. 'poignant' moment i think adds to what i like about charles too is that soliloquy where he recognizes people dont like him#yet he could always be worse- like if he's bad now to others imagine if he really just said Fuck It All#it's simple but so am i whaddyagonnadoboutit. i mean that point itself could be discussed but i'm trying to keep this brief bear with me#i so bad want to know what issue that's from tho all i know is that it's from krakoa but i neeeed the whole context#i think like. an additional bullet point to charles i also like is his loneliness#and i say this cause- I Say From My Amateur-Psychology Armchair- it's a component of why he's so earnest to help#but im keeping this point in the tags until i can confidently verify that with myself after some more reading#Unfortunately a favorite pass time of mine is psychoanalyzing characters like why else you think i major in psychology smh#im going to force myself to cap the post here because i ended up typing like 20 more tags just rambling#and as i said id like to keep this simple and clean !!!!! i have sat here for like four hours answering this ngl#ignore the fact half that time was spent getting distracted by solitaire and riffling cards ok I Am Very Easily Distracted#but fr when it comes to charles and erik- charles esp imo#i feel like i need to write a whole paper just so i can mention the nuances of the characters and like. EVERYTHING#because again six decades is A Lot of time for writing decisions to be made and for their characters to change over time#im a glazer but i wanna be a nuanced glazer yk. is that glazing at that point-- w/e anyway#its a lot. so today you will have to tolerate a very Blah answer from me which i must apologize for#down the line once ive read a comfortable amount more varying from multiple eras maybe ill revisit this question more in depth#as of right now tho .... chat i wanna get legion of x so bad i skimmed it and hhhhhhhhim gonna throw UP#i need to shake charles like a ragdoll BUT ANYWAY. bye bye for now lovelies !!!!!!!#please forgive me if i didnt answer your question efficiently ..#here i am saying i wanted to keep the tag count brief and yet !!! jesus christ. shut up My God I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT

The sheer CHALLENGES of being so ATTACHED to a character that WANTS to be wanted, WANTS to have her ppl, and does the most UNLIKABLE THINGS I- ITS- ITS A GOOD CHARACTER FLAW that technically only makes her a hypocrite via my interpretations of her yah yah
But it's just- MAN shes out there making the worst first impressions even with characters she'd otherwise have a lot in common with
#i think i have a bad habit of not remembering how UNLIKABLE Maggie is to pretty much every character she comes into contact with#well she becomes unlikable once she snatches their things but whatever#good great MARVELOUS character flaw#makes it tricky for ME if I'm tryibg to write for her accurately#and write other characters accurately#cuz maggie at least to me has two big things about her 1 she always prioritizes her survival and it indulges her most selfish tendencies#her powers play a role and if she had better authority figures/more loving and attentive family she'd have more impulse control id imagine#but despite survival ALWAYS COMING FIRST her wants FIRST screw everyone else#im not convinced she doesnt have a contrasting part of herself wanting that family and wanting to be wanted#she just wante to convince herself that SHES MOVED ON but she HASNT#but bc she wants to convince herself SHES NOT PUTTING IN EFFORT TO. NOT BE UNLIKABLE. AND yknow NOT STEAL from other ppl#makes it HARD to write her getting that love when thats certainly not gonna be easy without the other party feeling really sympathetic#doesn't help with how grouchy Maggie is and that she NEVER seens to tell any characters she cares about them until its too late#as seen with callum#but anyway ramble over#renegades trilogy#the renegades trilogy#renegades fandom#maggie white#evie artino#eventually im gonna have to make a fanon maggie white tag huh#unless I'm completely dead on about her character which#I'll assume that yeah totally i am in marissa meyers walls and i see everything#/j

and in this moment, we dance.
A Dave/Boris fic.
Summary: Dave finds himself sharing a dance with a famous ballet dancer.
Words: 1780.
Note: It's not mentioned but this fic is written with the headcanon that Dave is aro-spec. Unsure if that is portrayed clearly tho, or if the characters might be OOC haha. Anyway this silly little crackship has been on my mind alot, hope you like this writing of them!
You can also read it on: AO3 | SqW
* * *
As Guests of Honour, the Movers and Nina were looking forward to the backstage access. Once the other ticket holders had wrapped up their meet and greet, the five friends were brought to the VIP area, where they would meet the two dancers there.
"Boris, Oksana, your performance was beautiful!" Nina said excitedly.
"Yeah, I couldn't look away!" Scott added.
"You both danced wonderfully," Smitty complimented.
Dave took off his cap to pull out a big bouquet of red roses and handed it to Oksana. "For you," he said, putting on the hat again. Oksana grinned as she accepted it.
"Thank you Movers! Thank you Nina!" Oksana replied with a slight curtsy, and they bowed back.
"Yes, we are very happy you enjoy show," Boris said, smiling. "We love seeing you in crowd." He looked at them, and when his eyes landed on Dave, he gave him a quick wink. The gesture was met with a slightly surprised expression from the Mover, his eyebrows slightly raised. The others were oblivious to it aside from Nina who noticed, her gaze shifting between the two men. They all then continued their conversation for a little while.
"So, what's next? Are you two going back home?" Rich asked.
"We have more show next week."
"Da. We stay in your country until show is done," Oksana added. "We will love to see you all again. You too, Mousenik." She patted Warehouse Mouse gently, and the mouse cheered. "We hope to dance more in your country now that we are still the famous dancers."
"We're really glad it all turned out well. Congratulations to both of you!" Rich said happily.
"All thanks to your help too," Boris noted.
"So, great job to us too!" Rich cheered, holding his hand up for a high five.
The others got ready for the high-five as well, though Dave was interrupted when Boris handed him the bouquet and a few other gifts the dancers received from their fans.
"Please bring these," Boris said, making his way to one of the rooms away from where they all gathered.
Dave stood there for a moment, balancing the items in his hands before eventually following Boris' lead.
'At least he said "please" this time', Dave thought to himself, pursing his lips. He walked over to a table and carefully placed the items down. He let out a sigh, then looked at the dancer who was standing near a dressing room mirror. "Alright, I put all your stuff here."
"Thank you," Boris replied, flashing a smile at Dave. He placed a tube of his favourite hair gel inside the bag, along with the other tubes.
"Guess you won't be using those anymore, huh?" Dave remarked.
"Mmm, not so much, but maybe a little." Boris closed his bag and turned to approach Dave, taking proud strides. "Enough to make Boris extra handsome, no?" he said with a smirk, running his hands through his hair.
Dave took a small step back when Boris stood right in front of him. He scoffed, then shrugged as he plainly replied, "Sure."
Boris chuckled lightly, a more genuine smile forming on his face, and for a moment the Mover froze. Even if his constant self-praising were bordering on being annoying, Dave couldn't deny that the dancer was quite attractive and very well aware of it.
"One more thing I want to ask." Boris' words snapped Dave out of his thoughts.
"Huh, what?"
"Will you do honour of dancing with Boris?" The dancer asked, offering his hand.
Dave looked at it, then back at the man. He promptly glanced to his side and checked his surroundings before facing Boris again.
"Are you.. asking me?" he asked, a confused look plastered on his face.
Boris cocked an eyebrow. "Do you see other handsome man being here?"
Dave felt his face heat up, his eyes widening. "I'm not.. um.." he mumbled, trying to think what to respond. He then cleared his throat and replied, "I don't know ballet. You and Oksana saw how me and the guys danced, right?"
"I can show you," Boris said calmly, "if you like."
Dave blinked a few times, staring at the hand extended to him. Countless thoughts were running through his mind, none of them helping him decide what to do.
What's going on?
Why all of a sudden?
Why me?
Dave frowned, and Boris took note of it. He lowered his hand.
"If not, it's OK," he reassured with a smile, turning away. Dave didn't hear any hint of bitterness in those words, and his expression relaxed. He decided to not overthink it.
"W-wait!"
The dancer looked at the Mover, who spoke once more.
"I, uh, I'd like to dance."
Upon hearing his words, Boris smirked. He offered his hand again, and Dave accepted.
* * *
Admittedly, Dave still wasn't so sure about this.
Ballet music played gently across the room. The two men faced one another, hand in hand. They moved together, with Boris patiently guiding Dave in each step. They pulled each other close, and Dave was still trying to grasp everything that was happening. He couldn't help but observe his dance partner; the way his dark hair fell on his forehead, feeling the heat from his rough palms whenever their hands met, the woody scent of his perfume as strong and intense as the person wearing it.
Dave had never realized how big his dark pupils seemingly were, and he found himself staring into them. Boris smirked as he raised an eyebrow, looking into Dave's bright blue eyes in return. He began moving his legs, prompting Dave to follow as they continued. Dave swung his arms as gracefully as he could and his feet stepped wherever Boris took him.
"Well done, kotyonok. You dance very good," Boris said, grinning as he twirled Dave around.
They ended their little dance with a dip; Boris had his hand supporting the Mover's waist as Dave leaned back into it. The Mover froze again, his eyes widened as he gazed into Boris' eyes once more, their faces now inches away from each other. He could feel his heart pounding, the overwhelming mix of perfume and musk piercing his nostrils, and the warmth from the other man's body. His head was clouded, his senses almost overwhelmed. Boris observed Dave's reaction, his face slowly inching closer to the Mover. Dave's mind was racing.
Aren't things going a little too fast?
Should I lean in? Close my eyes?
This perfume is too strong. It's nauseating.
Just like in fairytales, kiss and live happily ever after.
I can't feel my legs. My face feels numb.
He swept me right off my feet! Metaphorically and literally.
The others are probably looking for me.
What a dreamy moment~
This isn't happening.
Dave closed his eyes shut, as Boris leaned more into him. He could feel the dancer's breathing on his face, and at that moment, everything was too much.
"Sorry."
Dave moved his head, leaning further as he slightly pushed Boris away.
Boris carefully pulled back from Dave, holding his hand as he helped the Mover stand up properly. Once Dave was steady on his feet, Boris held Dave's hand up to his lips and gave it a soft kiss before letting it go.
"No worry, kotyonok. It is pleasure dancing with you."
Dave's face was flushed, his heart still beating quick as he looked down, trying to calm himself.
"Ah, before you go.." Boris walked over to a table and grabbed a piece of what seemed to be a poster. He uncapped a marker and started writing something on it, then looked up as he asked, "What is your name?"
"Huh, oh—" Dave briefly looked down to his suit, realizing his nametag wasn't on there. "It's uh, it's Dave."
"Dave.." Boris continued writing, and Dave's eyes wandered elsewhere, still reeling from what had happened.
"Here," Boris handed over the poster, which was of him in a ballet pose, with unfamiliar writing on the bottom left which Dave could assume one of the words was his name spelt in Russian, along with Boris' signature. "If you ever miss me." He winked before going back to his bag.
Dave took a look at the poster, then pulled a face. "Um, thanks." He kept it in his hat and glanced at the door. "I should probably head back to the others."
"Farewell, Dave. Thank you again."
"Bye." Dave gave a small wave before exiting the room.
* * *
"There you are, Dave!"
Dave was caught off guard when he heard Nina's voice calling to him. The Movers turned to his direction as he approached them.
"Hey guys—"
"Hey, are you okay?" Scott interrupted. "Your face is so red, almost like your hat!"
He stepped closer, cupping his hands on Dave's face as he continued, "And it's so hot too!"
The others looked at him curiously. Dave chuckled, pushing Scott's hands off him. "It's nothing. I'm probably just tired."
"Yeah, it is getting late. And we have to leave now anyway," Smitty chimed in, petting a sleepy Warehouse Mouse who he was carrying in his arm.
The others nodded and made their way out the theatre. While walking to the Mover Mobile, Nina suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Oh no!"
"What? What's wrong, Nina?" Rich asked worriedly.
"I forgot to ask Boris for his autograph.." Nina said, pouting.
"Oh! I got you." Dave pulled out the poster from his hat, handing it over to Nina. Her eyes lit up as she unrolled the poster. "You can have it."
"Wow, thanks Dave!" Nina grinned widely and Dave nodded. The others smiled as they all continued walking.
Shortly after, Nina called out to Dave again. "Hey Dave, maybe you'd wanna keep this," she said in a quieter voice, giving him a small knowing smile as she handed a folded sticky note that was attached to the poster.
"Hm, what.." Dave hadn't noticed it there. He opened the note, then furrowed his eyebrows. "It's.. a phone number?"
"Ooh.." Nina smirked at him. "I guess someone was hoping to see you again."
"Who would..." Dave stopped his sentence, a red tint forming on his cheeks. "..oh."
Nina couldn't hold back a smile. She leaned closer to Dave as she spoke, "Anything you want to share?"
Dave cleared his throat, covering his mouth. "..not yet. I'm still.. processing it."
Nina patted his arm. "Okay then, I won't say anything about it."
"Thanks, Nina," Dave said, giving her a grateful smile.
"Let's go catch up to them."
"Oh, right!"
They both walked faster to the other Movers in front of them, eager to get back home and get some rest from a long, exciting day.

Normal peppino: Oh, I-a really don't want to-a fight, I have a business to-a run!
Pony peppino:
KILL MAIM BURN
LMAO
to be fair though i think both of them are both of these. idealy they don't want to fight people because they have a business to run, but push come to shove, if their business is threatened they WILL kill for it
in this essay this will serve as the basis as for why pony peppino absolutely despises the flim flam brothers
#ask#text#twogaydemons#looks left looks right#welcome to the tags i'm gonna ramble a little#i feel like if PT happened in MLP it would generally be the same for the most part#like i can imagine a fuckin tower made of pizza in the MLP universe you can't tell me that wouldn't happen#nobody really knows how the tower got there in both universes BUT i can see it being magic either way#magic in the human world and magic in the pony world#to elaborate though on my flim flam brother hate claim#most ponies are gullible as shit when it comes to those brothers right#i feel like there's some ponies and creatures who can spot a scam and business scheme from a mile away#peppino is one of those#granted the brothers now have like a casino so they're doing just fine thanks to capitalism but#i can still see them trying other schemes to rake in more cash and fame#but the moment they try anything pizza related peppino is going for the throat#he DESPISES them they're everything he hates#it's like how applejack hates them because they're not authentic and genuine with their practice#when they made cider for example it was more efficient but it wasn't genuine. it was just business#when the cider shit happened in ponyville i don't doubt some rumors and talks spread about it around equestria#and i can imagine him overhearing and as such just. keeping an eye on them. in case they try to go for him#that's why i think he'd beat the shit out of them the MOMENT he sees a perfect chance#ONLY IF THEY TRY ANYTHING THOUGH. if they leave him alone he'll leave them alone

jesus fucking christ this fandom. one more time: Piers did not put Chris back in the field in RE6. Piers does not have that sort of an authority. who the hell assumes that he has the actual power to put his own commanding officer back on active duty??? anyone with half a fucking braincell should realize that is not how shit works. yet the amount of "uwu omg i hate piers he did chris so dirty!!1!1" posts I've seen here is STAGGERING. blaming Piers for clearing Chris back to work, blaming Piers for the lives Chris lost with his recklessness? nope. get out of here. get out of my sight.

I have listened to 74 and Skies Forever Blue.
Personally I... don't think either really has much of a connection to Deltarune? I just think sometimes, authors really like exploring certain themes over and over again. Toby seems to enjoy exploring metafiction in video games, and subversions about 'what the people who fill certain 'classic archetypes' 'classic archetypes' in stories. (And I can't blame him, personally. I keep thinking up and writing stories where the 'chosen one' is subverted somehow.)
Could Dess and Kris end up mirroring the Princess and Knight in 74? It's not impossible. I've actually heard the theory that Kris is opening Dark Worlds to search for Dess in isolation from the song 74 before now. I've also always wondered why the creator of the Dark Worlds is called the Knight, and not the Maker or Author or Dreamer or Dragon or something like that. If the person who happened to be creating Dark Worlds was introducing themself as 'the Knight,' that'd be one thing, but it strikes me as kinda strange that the role itself is called the Knight. Furthermore, as I've also theorized in isolation, if Dess is meant to be an Asriel/Flowey parallel, it's possible that she does want to be rescued deep down, but feels she doesn't deserve it and thus lashes out and shoves people away.
So, analyzing themes Toby has done before and a few things about Deltarune. It's not impossible. But we know so incredibly little about Dess that some of us can't even agree on her species, so this seems to be another thing that seems like a big stretch to theorize about. Even if I, personally, like this kind of character and subversion of a lot more than 'what if Dess was a HOOMAN'
...That sad. I'd actually say that Deltarune already seems to have two characters that fit this particular parallel and subverson. Berdly and Noelle on a Snowgrave work as slightly less of a stretch. But really not much of a 1-1 parallel. XD
Mmhmm!
My first thoughts after listening to 74 and Skies Forever Blue was that both of these protagonists have 'Asriel' Vibes - 74 & Asriel are twists on 'Fairytales' - 74 has a perverted Princess & Asriel is secret 'Frog Prince' - while Skies Forever Blue's Girl has a similar tragedy to Asriel - a videogame NPC who has fallen in love with a careless HeroTM - and turns self-destructive because of said love.
(Both Asriel & the Girl also have a moment where in lue of a missing protagonist, they take control of the videogame world around them, making themselves the Protagonist, if only for a moment.)
...Leads one to think that Toby Fox loves deconstructing childhood fairytales. Applies similarly to Toriel, Undyne, Asgore, and Chara - twists on the Witchy Stepmom, the Hero, the Evil Demon King, and the Player Character.
Kris is a 'Hero' - a Knight in Shining Armor - and the twist is in plain sight - they are a Villain too - the fountain creator - and capable of being pushed to hurt Noelle.
(Not a statement on whether Kris WANTS to be the Villain - I don't think they do - which is probably why they let themselves be possessed)
The Most Obvious 'Princess' is Noelle - she's fits the bill for nice, well-born, and extremely passive - and she reminds me a lot of the Princess from 74 - because underneath the role of Princess she hides a decently complex and powerful person - and her own ability to hurt people.
(Susie rounds out the triad by being a Dragon/Villain with the ability to be a Hero - though I think we're missing a good chunk of her story still for me to comment on this - right now I view her as a Shonen Hero (like Naruto) in denial of her role, who would rather give it up to Kris and Ralsei.)
(Ralsei is purposely making himself a Tutorial Tip Fairy - so there's not much going on there until he breaks and grabs protagonistdom by the reins.)
Pretty much on the nose that Berdly is a corrupted Knight with Noelle as his Princess - though I don't think he'll have a similar 'Role' in the future - I think he'll relax in future chapters - and his relationships with the class / his family explored more.
I like to think he has younger/older siblings, and that's why he's so pressured to stand out.

So lemme get this straight.
I've spent about two years listening to a podcast (Just King Things) in which they "read the works of Stephen King in publication order," which includes a number of films, comics, and other one-off pieces of media in their bonus episodes. That pod is currently up to the mid-late 90s.
I've also been--much more slowly--working my way through the archive of a much longer-running podcast (Jay and Miles X-plain the X-Men) in which the hosts read the entire run of the X-Men books in (mostly) publication order. In my listening, Angel has just been turned into Archangel within the past 10 or so episodes, so we are in '88 or '89.
How is it that this is the way that I find out that someone got peanut butter in my chocolate in
Nineteen Eighty-fucking-Five.
Midnight Pals: X-Men
Stephen King: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of when the X-Men fought the literal embodiment of hunger King: it was for a charity comic Poe: oh right right of course Lovecraft: of course Barker: gotcha Koontz: wowww! x men!!
