home and where it isnt
Fwirl marshalled her thoughts, tail flicking. "If I left the Abbey tomorrow," she started, looking back through the trees at the red sandstone spires, still visible. "If I left- I could come back. The gates wouldn't be closed to me. A week, a season, ten seasons- I could come back."
"You," Tagg said, his voice hard, "Were raised by woodlanders. You are pretty, and small, and soft-spoken. You look like them. You talk like them. You think like them."
Fwirl looked at him again. He was staring fixedly at the trunk of the tree she perched in. She read anger in the set of his shoulders, the shiver of his whiskers. Anger, and misery. 
"I do," she agreed, because it was true. "And that's why I know you'd be welcome back, too. If you need to leave, to be under the trees and stars and carry a knife and be called a different name, you can. Nobody will stop you." 
"If I leave," Filorn's son said, looking exactly like his sister, like his mother, like his father must have looked, "I won't come back."

Redwall (Book 1) Oneshot Fic
A sympathetic backstory arc for a villain who didn't need to have been. 
Killconey is a ferret, a ferret who has worked his way up the chain of command almost to Cluny himself. He's a ferret, so he's a murderous rogue. There's no other option, he knows that from experience.
Excerpt: Killconey, one of Cluny’s top captains, stood in Redwall Abbey and hated Basil Stag Hare. He looked down at the ridiculous, patchy creature, and felt the rage grow. “Good grief, shouldn’t think a blaggard like you ever had a mother,” Basil sniffed disdainfully. Killconey had met hares before. ** “Don’t make it hard’r on yerself than it’s goin’ to be, Kipper,” his mother said, twisting and scrambling to face Kipper as she was dragged away. “You be a good lad an’ maybe they’ll let you live. Tell ‘em you don’t mean no harm, Kip. Tell ‘em you’ll be good.”
Words: 853
(I KNOW IT'S SHORT, AND I'M GLAD IT IS, I WROTE THIS WHEN I NEEDED TO BE GOING TO SLEEP. IF I WRITE MORE ONESHOTS FOR THE REST OF THE SERIES THEY WILL GET LONGER AND LONGER AND THAT MAKES ME SAD)

14, 15, 8! For the end of year asks. I'd also ask your most easten sandwhich but I know that one (it's cawis, hiiii)
hi cawis!!!!!
8. Game of the year? Tears of the Kingdom, even though I keep forgetting to keep playing it.
14. Favorite book you read this year? Something to know about me is that I fucking hate picking favorites. I think I can safely say it's a tie between @icaruspendragon's poetry book Lazarus Rises: amongst other things and The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. The first sunk its teeth into my soul and makes me cry every single time I read it, and I have yet to be able to read it only in part. It somehow demands of me to read it in one sitting. The second is a book I loved as a kid and enjoyed even more as an adult.
15. What's a bad habit you picked up this year? Almost all of these fics were Supernatural. Also I stopped opening my mail regularly which is Bad™

A fanart collection in which each drawing represents a chapter of the Wyllstarion multiverse fic Be My Mirror. Every Wyllstarion fan who has not read it please go do it now!!!
This fic is really something special, so I want to make something special for it too. This idea was floating in my head from the beginning of my reading, but it took a while for me to get started. I have worked on this on and off since November last year. 
Below are each drawing with some of my notes:
Chapter 1 (partingxshot) - Original universe 
Tumblr media
Chapter 2 (thecheeseburgercat) - Ballet AU
Originally, I set the scene in a ballet studio, but it felt too plain. I couldn't use colorful ballet outfits either, since they were only practicing. So, I decided to place them on the stage instead, as they did run on it in the chapter
Tumblr media
Chapter 3 (shadowfell) - Dream Sequence AU
This art style was an imitation of the comic Dream Sequence from Carla Speed McNeil's Finder, the one on which this AU is based. I read the comic and thought it was very interesting, but I don't think I was able to understand all of it. This tumblr post by the chapter writer - shadowfell - really helped me out.
Tumblr media
Chapter 4 (new_space) - Vampire zombie AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 5 (not_whelmed_yet) - Ghost Wyll AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 6 (partingxshot) - Disney World AU
One of the hardest parts about drawing these is figuring out what Astarion and Wyll are wearing, since some writers write in detail about that, and some don't. And I want to make sure each AU is recognizable immediately when looking at it. I went back to the original fic this Disney AU was based on to look for what Astarion was wearing here. From what I can find, he basically covers himself from head to toe in dark clothing to avoid the sun.
Tumblr media
Chapter 7 (SophiaMancer) - Role swap AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 8 (GlassThreads) - Twilight AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 9 (Rimeko) - Dragon cult AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 10 (jellyfishline) - DnD AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 11 (ushauz) - Redwall AU
Mouse Wyll is the best thing I have drawn for this whole fic
Tumblr media
Chapter 12 (stygius) - Elemental AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 13 (odessacastle) - Regency romance AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 14 (leyside) - Skyrim AU
I have never played Skyrim so I was honestly lost and needed a lot of advice haha
Tumblr media
Chapter 15 (GlassThreads) - Revolutionary Girl Utena AU
Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of my favorite anime, so I was really happy to put them in these outfits.
Tumblr media
Chapter 16 (PopcornCrimes (Emi1y_Rose)) - Evil Durge AU 
Astarion wears the Bhaalist Armour here, to hint at how Durge is in the party now.
Tumblr media
Chapter 17 (Acephalous) - The Thing (1982) AU
Tumblr media
Chapter 18 (anonyhex) - Slay the Princess AU
I tried to imitate the art style of Slay the Princess
Tumblr media
Chapter 19 (Aeona, karlachian) - Disco Elysium AU 
Putting UI of Disco Elysium in the drawing. And of course, the skill is Empathy.
Tumblr media
Chapter 20 (jellyfishline) - Ascension
It's hard to portray chapters 20 and 21 in just two drawings, so I made multiple ones for both.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 21 (partingxshot) - Return
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are more details I would have liked to add in some drawings, but I think if I worked on this more I would have gone insane haha. I really hope you guys love it!
Edit: I'm happy for Fanlore to use this with proper credit!

There is a not insignificant part of me that has always wanted to write a zombie horror fic set in Redwall, wherein it's never directly stated but the average reader can probably suss out that what's actually happening is a rabies outbreak.

Sketched out the hats worn by different members of the temple in my Temple in Wait/Black Bell Au and figured it might be nice to go over the hierarchy somewhere! I got the ideas for the hats from Forneus’ canonical hat (but edged in red for death rather than apolitical grey), catholic mitres, benedictine/orthdox monkhood, and of course the red crown itself.
As for the hierarchy it’s a little different than that of an abbey where the person in charge would be an abbot who is either assisted by a Father Superior/Prior of the abbey or is himself the Father Superior/Prior of the abbey. Because while I was a Redwall kid growing up and am basing a lot from that, “abbot” and “abbey” just feel too cozy personally. The highest rank in the Temple/Priory of Death is Father Superior. This role is currently and always has been fulfilled by Paean. The hat as you can see is a sort of two peaked mitre that resembles the red crown.
I suppose since Paean doesn’t use the title of abbot, that position would fall to the Bishop of Death if he were to return.
Forneus is of course the current Subprior— Paean’s second hand. She had separated herself from the cult of death prior to Narinder’s chaining so she wasn’t present for the temple’s creation. Still she has been there nearly as long as Paean at this point. They.. don’t exactly get along well and disagree on most things, but since they both know how to actually kill the other, neither has been willing to risk a physical confrontation.
The Priors!! Aka my mistake that I realized today but is okay because there are priories that have had 3rd 4th and 5th priors that are addressed as Prior NAMEHERE. I started writing before I realized the Prior is supposed to be a term synonymous with Father Superior. Oops whoops and etc. It bugged me that something named sub-prior was over prior, but I didn’t realize I had bad info fed to me. ANYWAYS. It’s staying this way and the named priors will remain as the only priors in my fic.
Prior Haro has remained the lowest ranking prior since he was accepted to the rank and acts as the temple’s librarian and sacrist (keeper of sacred and religious texts). The other two named priors are Prior Vosegus and Prior Vesta. If I accidentally named another I stg I’ll combust.
All of these high positions are denoted by the mitre style and they fact they have a cream/white base (white=pure=holy).
As for lower positions. Oh my god. [Insert intricate rituals meme here]. My god those rituals can intricate. Technically not everyone in a priory has to be religious. I can see the Red Temple taking in non-threatening secular people just to work as extra hands. Quite literally this seems to have the name ‘layperson’ I guess from laity? I’m learning. You’re learning. Shut up and stare at the benedictine abbey Wikipedia’s page with me.
I think(?) how it’s supposed to go is anyone that enters the grounds is first considered an inquirer. They stay this for a time and become a postulant. Once they’re done postulating they become a Novice/Novice Oblate. After so long as a novice they become an Oblate and once an oblate swears to live by, in this case the red crown, they become a monk. Technically there are secular oblates? But then whyd we play Russian nesting dolls with prayer and worship and sworn oaths then? See. Confusing.
Anyways I’m just calling secular people in the temple either inquirers if they live outside the temple or postulants if they live in the temple walls. Religious people come in as postulants and graduate to novice then oblate then monk. Anyone below monks are not to interact with the Consecrated Lambs.
Speaking of the Consecrated exist outside this hierarchy. They are nothing more than fodder and offerings to Paean and cannot take the same vows as other beasts (also because the second the become adult and able to take such a vow they get chopped so). Different rituals may require lambs to wear veils, but they never wear anything on their heads or their hooves. They are already “holy” and should be able to take the fullness of the God of Death on them rather (borrowing from kippot here now bc the catholic answer to why you wear a skullcap is cold heads and not out of a fear of heaven or a reminder of G*d’s presence which fucks harder.)
Heretics are not allowed within temple walls. Prior (hehe) to The Last’s sacrificial death the temple does not accept converts— only worshippers of the red crown and those fleeing heretics.

A Long Road Home - Page 90
Page 90
I think the point I was trying to make with this plot arc was that the Hells’ meddling in Laudna’s memories had the unintended effect of unmooring her from time, so that she has memories of her childhood from a normal timestream and a version of it rippled by the effects of meeting them in her past and their future simultaneously. Part of her consciousness is still trapped in a German Expressionist nightmare somewhere in the future. (As to how this happened I’m just going to shrug and suggest dunamancy? All the laudanum probably isn’t helping.)
Originally there was just going to be some drawings of Bells Hells on the wall but I thought having them appear as ragdolls would be truer to her character, if a bit more of a stretch of credulity. (She would have either have had to make them herself which is pretty advanced for a twelve-year-old or else her mother must have been very indulgent about her imaginary friends.) Her other doll is her displacer beast whom we last saw her with when she was three. His name is Glue, after a displacer beast cub in my home campaign. You may be seeing him again in a different medium. :)
So the drawings on the wall now are a fancy rat in Regency clothing and a wolf that could be a LOT of things depending on how far you want to believe the time distortion goes, as well as, you know. Just a wolf. (At the time that I drew it it was very late so for inspiration I turned to the things I remember doodling in the margins of my seventh grade notebooks and it was mostly Redwall fanart and werewolves.)
So when I wrote the script (and the beginnings of Remember Us) I decided to have Matilda address her mother as Mama to emphasize both her youthfulness and the warmth of her relationship with her. This was meant to be in contrast to Imogen’s fraught relationship with her own mother, whom for the first half of the campaign she addressed and referred to as Mother. WELL right after I launched the comic she suddenly started calling her mother “Mama” instead. (And to add insult to injury a year+ later Matilda addresses her parents in What Doesn’t Break as Mother and Father.)
It’s not really a big deal because obviously it’s a very common form of address for one’s mother but after I made such a point of in my Fire Emblem Fates fic Nohrian Lullaby out of the kids of the King’s ten (10!!) mistresses all calling their mothers something not only different for the sake of clarity, but indicative of their relationship with them for the sake of characterization (I think there’s even a point made about Camilla being wistful that her sister gets to call her loving mother “Mama” while her own mother, who keeps her at arm’s length, insists on “Mother”) I’m a little bit hands on hips cricket guy about it.

I recently came across an anti ao3 blog and the pinned post was an essay about how being exposed to sexual content as a teenager gave them ptsd and an older user “groomed” them. And like the screenshots they showed were maybe a little inappropriate but not anything near grooming.
They also claimed they were traumatized by a thorki fic that they claimed had a graphic rape scene so of course I looked it up and it was like mildly kinky with the characters giving full consent. The fic was tagged with the ship and rated E.
Like, it’s not possible to be traumatized by a fic. I’ve read books and seen movies I thought were disturbing or emotionally difficult that lingered in my mind. I’ve read books that gave me nightmares (my meds make me more susceptible to vivid dreams). None of that is trauma. When I was 14 I came across the story Guts by chuck palahnuik bc someone in the redwall forum I was on posted it and this was before tws or cws were prevalent. And guess what I lived lmao
Genuinely if you can’t handle your emotions about fic you either shouldn’t read it or get mommy or daddy to preview it for you
--
TBH, I have no idea what all can cause lingering trauma. Brains are weird.
But I too have seen such blogs including probably that exact one, and it's tragic how much they don't get what actually happened to them. Typically (and definitely for that one if I'm thinking of the same one), they were a dumb 14-year-old who wanted attention, and they kept doing more and more things that made them uncomfortable, like writing more sexual fic than they wanted to or staying in conversations about dark or sexual topics or consuming some media because someone dared them to.
If they'd had a decent adult around to talk to, maybe they'd have learned the ability to say "no" or maybe they wouldn't have been so desperate for attention and validation from randos or maybe they could at least have processed the experience in a useful way. But they didn't.

about that ask game
1. when did you start writing fics and what fandom was it from
2. how did you come up with the plot/idea of "Enough to go by" (if you cant tell this is my fav fic of yours)
3. when did you get into mha
1) when did you start writing fics and what fandom was it from
I started writing fanfic without recognizing it as fanfic (I had no unsupervised internet access as a child) when I was seven or eight. I think it was for Redwall or something. The first fanfic I actually published was when I was 15 and it was for the Marvel fandom. Think of the most cliche character I could have possibly been into and that was my guy.
2) how did you come up with the plot/idea of "Enough to go by"
I started writing Enough to Go By within a month of finishing Love Like Ghosts - so, November 2023. It was starting to become clear that BNHA's ending was not going to go the way villain enjoyers and/or people who like story structure and character arcs wanted, and I wanted to try to write a canon divergence of some kind. My original shot at it (the fic that became Call Me Sometime) didn't match what I was going for, so I went back to the drawing board. I was thinking about how completely the Shimuras disappeared from the world (their deaths + crime scene didn't seem to raise any eyebrows with anyone), and how unlikely it seemed that nobody would remember them or Tenko. So the "what if" question that spawned the story was "what if someone remembered Tomura from before he became Tomura?"
And then that led me to the question of who would remember Tenko, and who could get away with remembering him -- and that was how the reader character who becomes Saintess was born.
3) when did you get into mha
I got into BNHA in June 2022, courtesy of @corndog-patrol and her Erasermic fanart! Originally I was watching the anime and reading the manga exclusively for the two of them, but as the story progressed, I got more and more attached to the League. Then I had a weird dream that Tomura was in, signed up for a LoV Halloween event @candycandy00 was putting on, and never looked back.
Thanks for the ask!

Fanfiction Author Interview Game
Thank you so much for the tag, @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques, and I'm so sorry that it's taken me this long to answer it! I've been in a writing slump for the last few months (for both personal and external reasons), but I've started writing again recently (trying to get back into my old groove of at least 500 words a day), so I feel like I can answer this in good conscience.
How many works do you have on AO3?
Nine at the moment, plus four others on FFN that I still haven't transferred over.
What's your total AO3 word count?
208,006
Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:
Katabasis
Trio Sonata
Mine
I'll Keep You
Imprints In Time
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do try to, though sometimes I fall behind or choke on what to say; I feel bad when I find myself struggling to respond to a long, thoughtful comment with anything better than "thank you, glad you enjoyed!". I realize it's never too late, though, so I'm hopeful I'll be able to catch up on responses in the future!
(The only time I've ever deliberately not responded to comments is when I was aware that the person who sent them was a piece of shit who I didn't want to engage with, but thankfully that's only happened once or twice. Very much a "your approval fills me with shame" moment for me.)
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Probably Imprints In Time. It's a backstory fic for Madame Giry that ends with her estranged from her family and culture, recently widowed, and on the verge of being forced to retire from the ballet career she's worked so hard for, and thus deciding to help Erik make his start as the Opera Ghost (which we the audience know is going to end in more tragedy).
What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
It's technically not finished yet (there's still an epilogue chapter to come), but I'd say Katabasis has a quite a happy ending: the dead have been sent to a peaceful rest, the exiled urSkeks have saved their planet and will be able to change their society for the better (and keep other urSkeks from harming Thra in the future), and Jen and Kira have gone from being the last of their kind to the adoptive parents of several dozen Gelfling children who will be a new beginning for their species.
Do you write crossovers?
I'm very much open to doing so, but so far I haven't, mostly because the fandoms I currently write for don't lend themselves well to combining universes. The closest I've come is the Les Miserables reference I included in Chapter 5 of Trio Sonata (or the SWAT Kats/Redwall fic I started but never finished when I was 15, but the less said about that, the better!)
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Not really, no. The closest I've come is someone who complained they were disappointed that Agony and Ecstasy featured skekSa as the one topping during sex; I simply added a tag that made that clear and left it at that.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I didn't used to, but I've gotten more confident about both writing it and sharing it publically over the years (my experiences in the Tumblr RP scene helped a lot with that). The first fic I ever posted where sex was explicit rather than implied was Mine, which was a pretty standard wedding night consummation story (well, except for the part where one of the pair is an elderly hermaphroditic bird alien), but after that, I branched out quite a bit with Agony and Ecstasy (I'm pretty vanilla in my own sex life, so writing about characters having a BDSM session with cutting, bloodplay, and other kinks that I'm not personally into while still making it appealing to an audience was an interesting challenge).
Currently, Trio Sonata is my first experience of trying to weave sex into the plot of a longer story, rather than just a standalone smut fic, and I'm really trying to make sure that the smut is in character and serves to move the plot forward and develop the characters (not that I've got anything against smut for smut's sake, it's just not what I want to write for this story).
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Again, not that I'm aware of.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I haven't, though I've helped other writers with brainstorming and suggestions before (and they've helped me in return). I'm open to it, though.
What's your all-time favorite ship?
Oh man, don't make me choose! I'm pretty flexible when it comes to shipping as long as it's written well, so there are a lot that I like, even multiple ones with the same character. But if I have to narrow it down, I will say that I still love Megamind/Roxanne Ritchi after 14 years since the movie, and I also don't forsee my love for Erik/Christine/Raoul fading any time soon.
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
I started my own fanficverse for Megamind in 2011 with Life Is What Happens, and got partway through the sequel, The Storm and the Stars, before I stopped writing.
I always had meant to come back to that ficverse, but I now realize that's probably never going to happen, for two reasons. The first is that my own political and social views have changed enough since then that I'd have to completely rewrite parts of the story (for example, one of the main OCs is a former police officer, and I wasn't a believer in ACAB back then). The second is that the Megamind Rules TV series exists now, and both fills in the timeline when my fics took place and includes a number of the same key story elements, so I feel like there isn't really room for my fics in the fandom sandbox anymore (especially since most of my friends are fans of the TV show, and I really am happy that they enjoy it, even if it's not to my taste).
What are your writing strengths?
I like to think I'm pretty good at descriptions, especially giving a strong sense of characters and places in just a few lines, and coming up with interesting plots.
What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm not so good at character introspection, especially angst and romance. I worry about bogging down the flow of the story and falling into telling rather than showing, and that it won't be interesting or believable to the audience.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I think it can be effective if it's just one or two lines, especially if it helps convey character or setting, but it should be used sparingly and only if you're sure of the translation.
What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
I've toyed with the idea of writing an AU for Imprints In Time where Erik doesn't leave France after his fight with Antoinette, and they repair their friendship and eventually become a couple, which changes a lot of events that would otherwise have happened in canon (no Persia, for starters, unless it's under very different circumstances). I've also pondered an alternate OT3 involving Pharoga plus Madame Giry, but that's probably never going past pondering.
What's your favorite fic you've written?
At this point, it's a tie between Katabasis and Trio Sonata. I've mentioned it before, but they have a lot of the same basic story elements (hero and villain have to team up against an outside threat, which leads to them bonding and the villain becoming a better person), and since those are some of my favorite tropes, it's probably inevitable they'd be my favorite fics.
I shall tag: @cornistasiathecoblinking, @chaifootsteps, @locksnek, @musicalhell, and @flagbridge, plus anyone else who'd like to answer!

1000 Follower Celebration!
I'm blown away, honestly. The last time I had any notoriety in a fandom was back in, like 2007 or 2008 when I was on the Dibbuns Against Bedtime fan forums for Redwall. I was made the head of my dorm as the site started dying because I was the most active member in said dorm.
But you all? You're here because you like something I'm making? It's so wild to me. I appreciate every single one of you. Every like, every reblog, every comment. They warm me up.
I've been thinking over the last few days what I want to do. The obvious answers—prompt fills, polls to determine what I write, story snippets—I do all that with too much regularity. And I'm trying to avoid taking on more fics as I focus on the ones I've already got going.
So we're gonna do something a bit different this week.
Over the next week (From Wed 2/21 to Wed 2/28) send me the title of one of my WIPs (listed below) and I will respond with a few paragraphs. Not my usual 1.2-1.6k that I like to do for WIP Wednesday, but a few paragraphs. At the end of the week, I'll compile them all and post everything in a single post.
I won't be adding all the links like I usually do with each addition to a story until I post that final draft, but I'll tag everything with "[story name] 1000" so you can click that and follow along with the fic in some sort of order.
There are six WIPs eligible for the game! Please limit yourself to one fic per ask, but you may send in multiple asks. I will request that, for now, you limit yourself to one request per fic (aka a max of 6 requests per person). If I find that I'm able to keep up, I may waive that request in the upcoming days. But it will depend on how busy my inbox (and life) get.
Bring Me Home
Ghost!Robin
Answer My Call
I'll Carry Your Heart (Until I Find You Again)
Want to Hold On and Feel I Belong/Bad Reveal AU
Empathy!Verse
I totally forgot about the Empathy!Verse when I did my last ask game. Mostly because that has been entirely written on Tumblr and I...kinda forgot to transfer it to a Scrivener document. Ooops. 😅
Something to Feel isn't on this list because I want to dedicate my time to it today. I'm close to the end, I think, and already have one ask in my inbox about it that I totally meant to get to before now (if it's your ask, I promise I haven't forgotten you!).
Brief Story Summaries
Bring Me Home: Tim and Danny are online friends and know each other's secrets. Currently in the arc where the Young Justice and Team Phantom help Danny escape after a reveal gone wrong.
Ghost!Robin: Jason is haunted by the ghost of the Robin he used to be. Danny finds out when Jazz introduces him to Jason over a meet-the-in-laws dinner. Currently, Jason and Robin are meeting with Frostbite to learn what may have happened.
Answer My Call: Jazz is sending texts to Danny after he escaped a GIW facility and they can't talk. But it turns out Jason is the one who's actually been getting them.
Carry Your Heart: Jason and Danny meet in the Ghost Zone while Jason is dead. They become friends. But Jason runs to Desiree to wish for his life back. A wish she fulfills. Danny goes to visit him, only to find his core left behind in a lair that's in ruin.
Bad Reveal AU: Danny is living with the Waynes when he finds out they're also the Bats. He freaks out because he believes the bats are working with the government (aka the GIW). So he shoots Bruce and runs away. The bats are now trying to convince him it's safe to come home.
Empathy!Verse: Liminal!Jazz is studying in Gotham and feeling the lack of other liminals to interact with. After getting used to the undercurrent of emotion that follows all interactions with ghosts/liminals, humans just feel...flat. Then one day, she literally runs into another liminal as she's going to the library. Jason Todd. Only... he doesn't know what it means to be liminal. So Jazz is there to show him.
