#Leona Valley

[pcttrailsidereader]

Photo taken at mile 468.2 just off the trail on the Leona Divide Fire Road (Lonesome Valley is the valley below)

I got to know Brad Marston a number of years ago when we worked together on a Bigfoot trail crew in California's Yolla Bolly Mountains. We have since worked regularly on more trail crews and Brad and his daughter, Anna, contributed a story to Crossing Paths on the subject of climate change.

Brad was to join the Trail Gorillas for a 4-day trail work trip but plans were derailed by weather and the trail work was cancelled. Brad managed to get at least one very nice day in Section E (north of Tehachapi) before the predicted storm rolled in. This is a section that gets less attention than many others so it is nice to be able to post some photos.

Leona Kingscholar

A lion beastman who’s usually laying around somewhere in the forest or in his house, sleeping.

As it turns out he only really walks around town starting from 7PM up to ungodly hours (cue a lot of passing out right in front of him cuz you couldn’t find him right up to 2).

Plays rugby with Ruggie and Epel every sunny Sunday.

He was actually born into an affluent family as the second son. He’d spent his whole life training to take over the company despite everyone from his parents to the housekeepers looking down on him and constantly comparing him to his older brother.

In the end his brother took over the company and after his nephew, Cheka, was born he left the city and moved to the quiet town of Night Raven. (Well, it was quiet before all the crazy residents started moving in…)

Loved Gifts: Meat/Meat Dishes (Except Bug Meat), Universal Loves

“Heh, not bad Herbivore.”

Hated Gifts: All Vegetables, Universal Hates

“Oi, do I look like a garbage can?”

Ruggie Bucchi

A hyena beastman who grew up in the slums of the city with his grandma and the kids he took care of.

When they hadn’t moved yet Leona would often hire him to run the occasional errand but before he moved he asked him to follow him and be his full time attendant for a ludicrous salary.

Immediately accepted and regularly sends money back to his grandma.

He takes part time jobs at Sam’s General Store and the town saloon as well.

Sometimes steals random veggies from your garden, the scarecrows aren’t just for the crow.

Is often found in the forests foraging or tending to a little vegetable garden that only he eats the harvest from. 

Doesn’t blink an eye if he sees you rummaging through the garbage. If anything, he joins you.

Loved Gifts: Dandelions, Donuts, Gold, All Foragables, Universal Loves

“Really?! Shishishi, well don’t mind if I do! Here, have this~”

Hated Gifts: Sap, Anything Rotten, Universal Hates

“...Do I look that desperate?”

Jack Howl

The local botanist! His shop is a greenhouse and he specialises in ornamental plants like cactus, succulents and flowers! Most of the flower seeds are sold from him as well as fertilisers and pots.

Genuinely loves his job but prefers being more physically active.

Goes on runs with Deuce every sunny Wednesday but runs at 6AM every other day.

A wolf beastman who lives with his parents and his two younger siblings.

Is often found tending to his shop or working out outside. 

Loved Gifts: Cactus Fruit, Pear Compote, Universal Loves

“...! Thanks farmer. Wh- My tail is NOT wagging!”

Hated Gifts: Spring Onion, Horseradish, Leek, Universal Hates

“!!! Ugh, excuse me…”

Cheka: MC? Can you be my consort when we grow up?

Kid MC: What's a consort?

Cheka: *giggles* A king's partner for life!

Kid MC: Hmm... *squinting their eyes a little* Nope. I'm not seeing you in my future. No offense.

Epel: *gobsmacked*

Rook: Oh mon Dieu—

Cheka: ...

Cheka: *smiles* Okay. *but cries a few seconds later*

Vil: ...

Kid MC: ...

Vil: Where did you get that attitude from?

Kid MC: *points at him*

Vil: *sigh* Guess I can't scold you for that.

Rook: Oh my, Roi du Poison. You're becoming this child's second dad.

Epel: It's scary.

Vil: What's that, Epel?

Epel: Nothing!

Kid MC: Sir Leona? Why are you buying presents for me?

Leona: Because you rejected Cheka.

Kid MC: I don't understand.

Leona: That kid won't be bothering me for a while so I want to thank you for that.

Kid MC: You don't really like children, no?

Leona: Heh. Maybe you're an exception.

Leona: What do you like?

Kid MC: Hmm... I want that toolbox, that whole fridge of ice cream, and—

Leona: Hey. Isn't that a lot?

Kid MC: You're buying.

Leona: ...

Leona: Fine. *pulls out his card* Do you want me to buy the whole store?

Kid MC: If you insist.

Leona: This little— *chuckles*

Kid MC: Are you feeling better now, Dad?

Malleus: Yes. *after being sick for a week*

Lilia: I never expected your dad to get sick just from overthinking. *chuckles*

Malleus: *frowns a little* You don't understand, Lilia. Won't you feel the same if someone tries to court Silver?

Lilia: No? *chuckles* Silver is a human and seeing him get married will be my greatest joy.

Malleus: ...

Kid MC: What's your greatest joy for me, Dad?

Malleus: ...

Malleus: To see you as the happiest human alive.

Kid MC: *giggles* Dad, think of another. I'm already the happiest human alive after getting to meet Dad.

Malleus: *on the verge of crying*

Lilia: Malleus, please. You're affecting the seasons.

[saayatsumu]

i finally made more

[adrianasunderworld]

More of the Twst Stardew Valley au!

Just because I like it and want to continue.

Part One

Part Two

I've mentioned before that the witch that turns your chicken eggs into void eggs is Malleus grandma. That also means the witches hut is also his grandmas house. In that quest line you learn more about Malleus backstory of how he was orphaned and raised by his grandma and Lilia. And how his childhood was all about learning magic and thus he never got used to making friends. That is until he meets Yuu.

When you go down into the mines, the deeper levels have the blot phantoms for you to fight.

Fleur Town is the neighboring town you can take by bus, and there you can meet Rollo and friends. You can buy things off of them there, and yes, like Fellow and Giddel, there is a quest to get him to move to Night Raven.

If you marry Epel, he will occasionally gift you an apple or even an apple sapling.

Marja is kinda like the Evelyn in this au. Your sweet local granny who will occasionally gift you food if you befriend her. Specifically her famous apple pie.

The towns little school house sadly does not have much to offer in terms of arts programs. So Vil has occasionally volunteered to teach the kids about acting and helping them put on small shows for their families for them. Maybe a heart event or quest line for Vil is to help him collect supplies for the kids show. " Farmer, help! I need this amount of wood and this amount of cloth so I we can build the sets and costumes for the children."

In the same vein as the farmer going into Robin and Demetrius room in the game, and finding books about blended families, if you go into Falena and Ashas bedroom, you'll find books about how to recognize being the Golden Child and moving forward from there. One of Falenas friendship heart events is him expressing how he wishes to be closer to his brother and recognizing that their father played favorites and wasn't a good parent to Leona.

Again in the same vein as above, part of Leonas storyline is learning about his childhood and always being ignored by their father, and when he wasn't, being compared to Falena and how that soured his relationship with his brother.

If you marry Leona, The Kingscholars recognize you as a member of the family and make references to it. Like Cheka referring to Farmer Yuu as Auntie/Uncle/etc.

Idia has once, and only once, attempted to go into he mines and considered joining the adventures guild, thinking it would be like one of his fantasy RPGs. He was sorely mistaken and never did it again. He saw one green slime and got the fuck out.

Cater lives in a house with his two sisters and they are almost always arguing over the division of chores.

Once Yuu starts getting close to Riddle, his mother will have a cutscene telling them that Riddle has a bright future ahead of him, and that Yuu should tread lightly around him so as not to ruin anything.

Like Kent in game, you don't meet Lilia until after the first year in game. Baul, Silver, Malleus, and Sebek all mentioned Lilia throughout that first year. From they tell Yuu, Lilia is a veteran and the leader of the adventurers guild and is off on his travels. Hes written to Silver that he will be back soon, and then the mysterious Lilia shows on your doorstep at the start of Spring of year 2 to introduce himself.

Ruggie lives in trailer just outside of town and close to where he works, he mentions he sends money to his grandma back home. Obviously if you marry Ruggie, his financial situation is much better, and he has dialogue about how he can help his granny so much more now thanks to you for it. The house is always in top shape and the animals fed when Ruggie is your husband.

Crowley is always hatching schemes to bring in more tourists and business to town. So he often ropes Farmer into helping him get supplies for whatever event or ideas he has in mind to bring people to Night Raven. That usually includes handing over fliers to Rollo to hang up in Fleur Town. Or gathering wood to build stands for the farmers market he decided to open.

If you marry Jack, his personal add on room and hobby corner in the yard is full of exercise equipment and his cactuses. He has dialogue about how it's great being able to jog around the farm in the morning and how you shouldn't strain yourself and ask him if there's any heavy lifting to be done.

The cave on your farm that lets you either grow mushrooms or collect fruit are two separate offers. Jade will tell you that the cave on your property is a prime spot for growing mushrooms and he can set it up. Or Lilia will come and tell you about the fruit bars in the area and how he can help so bats are more likely to hang out in their and this leaves fruit for you to collect. You can choose to accept one offer over the other, if you reject both at the time, you can tell them you changed your mind later.

Mr. And Mrs. Shroud will ask Yuu about the blot monsters in the mines, and regularly put out commissions on the community board or Guild about the monsters. They are scientists that research them and always welcome whatever info you tell them, or giving them the stone items they drop when you kill them.

Royal Sword Mart Manager, Ambrose has a grandson he mentions if you come over to shop. Eventually said grandson, Arthur, will come to town, stating he's come to live with his grandfather now that he's getting older and Arthur worries for him and his health. Yes Arthur is also a marriage candidate.

Trey works at the local bakery and often gifts Yuu things like cake and bread as they become better friends.

One of Riddles cut scenes is Yuu overhearing a conversation between Riddle and his mother. Mrs. Rosehearts complaining about Riddles friends, Trey and Che'nya. Riddle tries to defend them, but his mother won't hear it. Once she walks away, Riddle notices the farmer, he explains how his mother was always strict and homeschooled him over sending him to the local school house with the other kids. Especially because she didn't approve of the local kids like Trey and Che'nya, who would always sneak Riddle out to play. If you marry Riddle, he has plenty of dialogue about how he's excited to invite Trey and Che'nya over for dinner, what sweets they should serve for dessert, and how much his mother would disapprove.

[sleepyorchidmonster]

After Chapter 7, Malleus and by extension Briar Valley had to deal with plenty of backlash.

In an attempt to appease the public (and control Malleus), the Senate organized a press conference with world leaders and NRC parents (there's A LOT of overlap between those two groups).

The main idea was to show the Senate as capable advisors that would guide the young Draconia, cementing their status in Briar Valley while also "protecting" and isolating Malleus.

What really happened was that Mrs. Rosehearts yelled at them for ten hours straight.

You see, Riddle was worried about how his mother would react to the entire Chapter 7 situation, so he made sure to explain everything to her, casting Malleus and Lillia in a more favourable light.

And it acually worked! You see, despite all her failures as a parent, she is still a mother at the end of the day, and the idea that a son would go to such great lenghts, overblotting and almost dooming the entire world, just to keep his parental figure safe, was quite touching.

She also has a newfound respect for Lillia, how he spent all those years looking for ways to get Malleus to hatch, how he went above and beyond to care for the Prince, even while banished, how he adopted and raised Silver (who is the only student she actually respects). HOW HE LITERALLY SACRIFICED PART OF HIS LIFEFORCE FOR MALLEUS TO HATCH!

On the other hand, she HATES the Senate. Mostly because she put herself in Meleanor's shoes: imagine you're about to die and decide to entrust your unborn son to your friend, only for said friend to be unjustly banished, leaving your kid in the hands of a bunch of entitled senators that completely DISREGARDED YOUR LAST WISH (Mrs. Rosehearts hates it when people don't do what she says, so she feels personally offended by that last bit, the fact that Malleus almost died also doesn't help).

Anyway, she's angry and, since the Senate IS encouraging people to air their grievances with Briar Valley, might as well seize this opportunity!

Malleus, Silver, Sebek, Lillia, Baul and Maleficia feel vindicated. Since only the housewardens and Diasomnia were invited for the event, the group chat was crazy.

The housewardens were all sitting together near the back of the room, alongside Silver and Sebek (they DON'T want to draw attention to themselves, especially since most of them are overblot survivors), so they could easily chat or sleep. Meanwhile the students back on campus were watching everything at Ramshackle.

As a small bonus, a few ways to avoid panic attacks, by Riddle and Trey:

*Mrs. Rosehearts starts talking*

Trey: Hey Rook!

Rook: Oui?

Trey: What is the meaning of beauty?

Rook: :D

*Rook starts monologuing and nobody can hear the TV anymore*

Meanwhile Riddle:

*School chat*

Epel: So, how long until she stops yelling at people? It ain't funny anymore...

Riddle: Since she yelled at Trey's parents for five hours because they gave me a tart, maybe ten or fifteen hours?

Ruggie: Wtf

Deuce: Are you doing okay, dormhead?

Riddle: I have a fully charged phone with a crosswords app, headphones playing all the Queen's rules on loop, and an entire bottle filled with the strongest calming tea I could find.

Riddle: Moreover, I'm currently seated beside the sleepiest students in this school (Leona and Silver). Their calm disposition creates a peaceful environment.

Riddle: Therefore I shall be able to keep panic attacks AND overblots at bay!

Ace: Just say yes or no...

*15 minutes later*

Riddle: I beat the game, there are no more crosswords

Vil: Chess.com

Vil: NOW

Vil: Wake Leona up, we're having a TOURNAMENT!

Idia: Congrats, u just got a World Record

Idia: Also I'm sending you a list of games later...

They left a bit after the seventh hour mark.

CORRECT TAGS‼️‼️‼️‼️ @rn0na-lizard you are so so so correct….. my favorite ‘Normal Girl’ in hmds…….i almost never see anyone talk about these aspects of her let alone also love her for them as they should.

i feel like Leona/ DS lumina gets mischaracterized super often which is understandable bc out of all the DS candidates leona is the least like her ancestor (who i also love, for different reasons).

in AWL lumina was the only kid in the valley for a very long time, but many of the DS residents have lived in the valley their whole lives. while lumina had accepted her role as a proper young heiress by chapter 3 of AWL— and when DS begins Leona already at this point of her life— lumina still had a lingering sense of uncertainty and angst and loneliness and doubt, and unresolved worries about her parents. absolutely none of this is present with leona

in this world leona starts with Lumina’s 22 year old appearance, she’s just rich as hell and living her best life (as she deserves), she’s unabashedly shallow, puts herself first always, speaks so politely and affably yet she can be so casually cruel in the most genuine cute way and out of touch with reality and and i fucking love her and i’d die for her. my beloved girlboss girlkeep girlypop

more iconic Leona Moments

when muu/muffy asks for beauty advice leona’s recommendation is “this brand of mail order beauty cream is simply divine! and it was quite inexpensive too, just 100,000 G 🥰” everyone else looks uncomfortable and muu is like “you’re as frivolous as always….”

aside from the 3 who take literally half your money (Witch💖, moi, and thomas) leona and panama (romana) take the most money from you if they carry you home when you faint. just a couple of girl bosses holding on to their girlpire (btw shout out to sebastian, the only resident in the entire valley who carries you home for free)

neither panama nor leona attend the harvest festival, they send sebastian there by himself to test the food first lmao (if you poison it like the witch they’re harboring on their property requires you to do, sebastian is just like “i can’t serve this to Mistress Panama…”)

once again sebastian attacks mukumuku for her sake, this time not to make her a paintbrush but she told him to get her the best slippers and this was apparently the easiest way. sebastian gets fucking mauled btw

leona has hands down the best romance route in hmds. all her scenes are incredible but god the slow burn friends to lovers with your DVD player….

in her purple heart event she shows up at your house because she heard you have a DVD player, asks you to show her how it works, and then just leaves after she’s done playing with it

in her yellow heart event she has sebastian fetch van so she can buy a DVD player for herself but van’s like “i’m so sorry …. Pete… bought the last one….”

leona is so unable to stomach the idea of other people having things she doesn’t that she starts to cry and the only way to placate her is to tell her she can go to your house anytime she wants just so she can use your DVD player. that’s not a setup to a budding romance that’s her final heart event

it’s the most incredible romance arc in the world like girl you have infinite money you can just. buy a DVD player somewhere else?? “i want to watch DVDs at my house just like you!” leona you have three entire bedrooms

“rich girl love interest who has everything except love, win her heart by having genuine conversation with her”: done to death, tired, i don’t have time for that

“rich girl love interest who has everything except a fucking DVD player, win her heart by giving her expensive stuff and ‘relax tea’ and access to your DVD player”: audacious, intriguing, never been done before, innovative

if you deny her god-given right to access your DVD player she is like “Is that so……………Just let me be alone for a little bit.” incredible tragedy i understand. take as much time as you need to grieve darling

oh but her first heart event asks you to pick a side in an argument she’s having with panama and the correct answer is to say “sebastian is the one who’s wrong” (sebastian has said nothing wrong this whole time and yet both of them have just been yelling at him to shut up)

and her blue heart event is “help me find this heirloom necklace… boohoo…” and when you find it she’s like “perfect! now grandma won’t get mad at me. hmm, you seem pretty dependable…♡” augh she’s way too good at this…….!!! i’ll do anything for you!

when you propose she says “of course, i always dreamed of having a romance and a wedding♡” and says nothing abt how she feels about you <3

also if you marry her, once a week she goes to hang out at her ex love interest’s place for 6 hours straight and comes home saying “whew… i had so much fun that i must have lost track of time… i’ll hurry on home”

if you marry another girl she starts flirting with you like “I’m so envious of your wife, having such a fine husband… Pete.” (or whatever your name is)

i’ve become obsessed with her and romeo’s horrible trainwreck soap opera marriage since replaying cute in jp… it’s SO… i have so much to say about them that it should be its own post but i’ll just give the cliffnotes

shotgun wedding vibes. romeo is surprised by his own wedding. they’re childhood friends but he himself has never considered marrying her. her words to him at their wedding are “Make me happy♡” (command)

she understandably can’t stand his terrible table manners or his clothes or anything about him (except that she wants to watch him surf and have his child. but he instead walks in circles all day. coward) and he’s both really good at accidentally stepping on landmines and just ever so slightly majorly terrified of her after marriage (“but surely her angry outbursts are just her way of showing love hahahahaha” you’re going to die. she’s going to kill you). the only positive things they say about their marriage are extremely shallow. they can’t communicate with each other because romeo always says the Dumbest Shit obliviously and leona always responds by cutting him out of her life forever!!!!!! (for 5 seconds) while he has no idea what happened

they are both so melodramatic and they both just do nothing except make each other worse and run away from each other and push each other away but they can’t escape each other. neither of them ever has to grow or change if they marry each other because an elderly overworked man is sustaining both of their existences and neither of them can take care of themselves and i love them your honor

also romeo’s first crush as a kid was apparently her mom, and if leona falls for YOU she flirts by mentioning that sebastian says you look like the spitting image of her dead father. dear fucking god

they’re the epitome of “You're both just enabling each other's mental illnesses. You're both perfect for each other. Never change. Just never involve anybody else in what you've got going on.”

romeo really does feel like her stupid lackey. like the karen to her regina. they even had this dynamic in the games they played as kids… she was the Harvest Goddess and he was Servant A/Minion A (they might still be playing this game as adults…he calls her lady/mistress sometimes after marriage…)

btw leona’s best friend (wife) marivia is also just as… there’s an event where they just gossip about all the mineral town ppl and marivia says ann would win a gluttony contest and they both giggle

there’s also an event where marivia casually walks into Witch’s hut and just interviews her so she can write her into a novel. witch is left completely drained by this exchange. leona and marivia both are so chill about the horrible cruel villainess living in leona’s shed who wants the town poisoned and rewards you for killing animals and hurting yourself and is putting curses on everyone (and they’re right. she’s never done anything wrong in her life)

[twst-mer]

@queen-of-twisted @zexal-club @yukii0nna

[witchywriter18]

So here are two characters that remind me of Beauty and the Beast when shipped with Yuu.

Leona Kingscholar (won't let me use orange for some reason so you get red)

Grumpy and non-social

Temper

....well the beastman qualities reminding me of Beast

Royal

Malleus Draconia

Not exactly grumpy but definitely not social

Awkward when getting to know people

People fear him

Again, royal-

Kinda came to me when playing Dreamlight Valley and doing Beast quest

[twistedtummies2]

Would you say that Leona is liable to sit down at a restaurant and just order crackers? What would he do if that was the only thing he was served?

I think if Leona sat down at a restaurant, he would order WAY more than just crackers. And if that was the only thing he was served...honestly, I don't care WHO gets that treatment. If I'M the one being served just crackers after ordering a meal? I'm suing you if possible, making a scene at the very least if not. And if it's Leona?

Somebody gettin' ate. :P

[janahanooo]

I play Twst(Twisted wonderland ;] ) andddd I play Stardew Valley too. And like about a half a year ago irl I bought a chicken and randomised it's name. Now I am verry proud and sorry. But then again, Leona would be so proud of me naming a chicken Checka...

YES I KNOW. IT'S CHEKA AND NOT CHECKA. still.. my baby lion🥺

[harunayuuka2060]

Sebek: WAKA-SAMA! THE LITTLE HUMAN IS NOT IN THE FIELD!

Malleus: What do you mean they're not in the field?

Sebek: We were practicing how to fly our brooms and theirs took off!

Malleus: ...

Malleus: You need to calm down, Sebek. And as for my child, you have nothing to worry about.

Sebek: Eh?

Kid MC: *flies past Sebek, laughing*

Sebek: !!!

Malleus: *smiles* MC, come back here. Sebek was looking for you.

Kid MC: *flies back* Hello, Sir Sebek!

Sebek: LITTLE HUMAN! DIDN'T I TELL YOU NOT TO SKIP CLASSES?!

Kid MC: I didn't skip class! The magic broom won't let me go down so I just enjoyed it.

Sebek: *frowns*

Malleus: It's alright, Sebek. I've already informed Vargas that my child is here.

Vil: Rook? Have you seen MC? I have checked their room and they're not there.

Rook: Oh! They told me that they would visit Leona in his dorm.

Vil: Huh. So they made a new friend, huh?

Rook: *chuckles* Yes.

Kid MC: *examining Leona's ears*

Kid MC: I think I see some dirt in there.

Leona: How dare you.

Ruggie: *wheeze*

Leona: Are you not done yet?

Kid MC: Almost. I just need to check if Sir Leona is a good cat.

Leona: *growls* I'm a lion.

Kid MC: I'm not asking if you're a lion. I'm asking if you're a good cat.

Kid MC: Is Sir Leona a good cat?

Ruggie: Nah. Cross that out.

Kid MC: Okay! I'm done now with my assignment!

Leona: That's one stupid assignment.

Kid MC: No, it's not! Sir Rook said it's important to know your prey.

Leona: And that what makes it stupid.

Ruggie: Anyway, MC. Do you need something else from Leona? He's quite free today.

Leona: Huh?

Kid MC: Nothing for now!

Leona: Tch.

Cheka: *enters the room* MC? Are you done talking with Unca?

Kid MC: *nods* Hm!

Cheka: Great! We can go to our date now!

Leona: Excuse me? What date?

Cheka: It's a picnic date, Unca!

Leona: ...

Leona: Aren't you too young for that?

Ruggie: Geez, Leona. It's just a playdate.

Malleus: Lilia, I found something concerning in my child's bag.

Lilia: Hm? Something concerning?

Malleus: Yes. *holding a flower crown*

Malleus: Who's trying to court my child?

Can you imagine if Riddle is like, the only one who actually insists on following ALL of the Queen of Heart's rules in twst?

Like, she is still part of the Great Seven, so people definetely respect and worship her. But, since Riddle is considered a tyrant, it's safe to say most inhabitants from the Queendom only follow like, the basics.

And, since you don't see the royals caring too much as well, the royal family probably only enforces a few of the rules, or it's pretty lenient. Otherwise we would see Jamil trying to get Kalim to memorise the rulebook, lest he makes a fool of himself and causes a diplomatic incident.

Although it would be pretty funny if everybody just learned the rules by osmosis during their stay at NRC. Next thing you know an adult Malleus is correcting a politician about the specifics of rule #278 when it's clear the guy was trying to trick Briar Valley into making an unfair agreement. Leona is laughing.

We need an event with a corrupt Queendom official trying to create his own rules to mess with people because "nobody cares, they won't even know that I'm making stuff up!"

Except they know. Riddle is having a crisis in the background whenever the official says something wrong. It's funny.

Official: So due to rule #345, "Always give away what is on your way", the Draconias must relinquish a portion of their land to the Queendom!

Riddle being held back by the dormheads: *Icomprehensible Screeching*

Malleus: Yeah, no.

Kalim: Isn't rule #345 about feeding the hedgehogs before midnight? Did the guy get that wrong?

Alternatively

Official: *Invents a rule*

Riddle: WHY THE FUCK YOU LYING!?!??!
