Home
(and pets I guess??)
The only thing I did,
that I didn't regret doing,
was taking you home with me.
Something happy after the last one!
So Yomiel has alot of regrets in the lost past years, but one thing he for sure didn't regret was definitely taking care of Sissel.
I am 100% sure Yomiel would have gone mad(or worse even) and plan the whole revenge thing WAY earlier if he never had met Sissel to bring him comfort. Since that mean he didn't have a Friend to talk with or see him and still make him Feel like a living person.
And that would have been pretty bad for Sissel as well, because he would never found someone who truly understands him too. And since he's still a fragile Kitten who's probably very hungry, he could die very easily, without the comfort of anyone. He would have been all alone.
Aka it could've been a bad time for everyone.
But luckily the man in red had his Son at that time, so everything's ended up (mostly) fine! :D
#Minovember#ghost trick phantom detective#ghost trick spoilers#ghost trick#sissel#ghost trick sissel#yomiel#ghost trick yomiel#I love them so muuuuuch...#Like if it wasn't for their friendship everyone's life would have been a disaster#If Yomiel never met Sissel he would have gone insane without the comfort of knowing what living feels like anymore#And end up killing everyone probably#Sissel would have never been able to help ANY of them if he wasn't there#Then Yomiel wouldn't have bring Sissel in the bag with him so no one could've have saved all of them#Since Missile couldn't have done it alone#Would missile even be there since Yomiel would have probably done all that revenge plan way earlier??#Tsuki_glitch art

[Something deep in his chest shatters when he hears the despair of his friend's words, his expression saddening as he draws his hands away from their shoulders with a quiet sigh.]
"Oh, my friend..."
[His voice is soft, gentle with understanding. He knows that feeling all too well. That impending fear of losing everyone they loved... He holds his arms out to them in silence, his hands gently brushing their arms to signal the offered embrace to their blind friend.]
"You've gone through so, so much more than you deserve... I'm so sorry, Tir..."
[Even if there's nothing he can do to change what's been done to the prophet, the guilt that ties his windpipe into knots is just as true as if that fact weren't. Part of him couldn't help but wish he'd been here sooner- maybe he could've helped...]
[His breath comes in short gasps as he dashes through the Underworld, looking around in panic as the voices buzz in his ears. Searching for the familiar figure of the cloaked man. He has to keep his voice from cracking when he finally spots them.] "TIRESIAS!" [He cries out his friend's name as he dashes to them, gently but firmly taking hold of their shoulders in panic as he speaks.] "Tir, please- Tell me- Tell me they're lying. Tell me the voices are lying to me- Tell me you remember who I am, Tir, please-" [His hands shake on his friends shoulders as he speaks to the man. The voices had been whispering to him for hours, though their words had only just registered - Tiresias had, apparently, drank from the Lethe. The river of the Underworld; notoriously known for wiping the memories of anyone that drinks from it.] [So, like any logical person would, he instantly panicked.]
- @op3n-arms
[ they jump at the cursing of their name, and even more so at the panicked grabbing at their shoulders ]
[ it only took seconds for them to realize the cause of their friend’s fret, to which they avoid looking in their direction, knowing the consequences of confronting what they did and what really happened ]
“I—
[ somewhere inside them something pauses. Something contradicts. Who exactly was this? Sure, someone they knew. Their grandson, perhaps? Was it Ody; no, his voice was much lower. Then it snapped and no further questioning happened although there was the sudden shock and fear that maybe the effects were simply delayed, not implausible ]
“Polities. I—they aren’t exactly . . . lying. I don’t know what they told you but I— I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have given in but it was too much and I’m not going to see them again, and I already lost Athena, it won’t be long till I lose you and Ody, too. And Caleb. And I—“
[ they choke back tears, shifting away from their friend and curling inside themself, far too many thoughts rushing inside of them ]
#severe secondhand guilt who?#👀#anyhoots#he feels so guilty it ain't even funny lol#like. he wants to get back to his crew in the living world#but at the same time part of him wishes he'd died sooner#so maybe#just maybe#he could've saved them#you can relax my friend!#this life is amazing...#friendships form in the most unlikely places

what i find so interesting is that after juan's death, it wasn't just cesare's physical features that began to echo his brother's appearance more strikingly than they ever had during juan's lifetime, but certain aspects of juan's personality also began to manifest in cesare as well! after rodrigo shared his long-planned dream of creating a papal bloodline to be passed down to cesare, cesare's perspective shifted, and he became increasingly preoccupied with the perceptions of others, leading him to adopt a more classist mindset. he even felt ashamed of his own mother when she offered him counsel and the opportunity to join him in battle, rejecting her due to her former occupation as a 'whore.' this is just one of the chilling examples of how juan's aftermath continued to impact cesare long after his death throughout the show.
#ok but except that cesare had soft divine curls while juan has messy wet curls lmaoo#doomed brothers who could've been close if their father didn't pit them against each other save me...save me doomed brothers...#that being said#he haunted the narrative ‼️‼️‼️#juan is such a banger character and a great example of an impactful dead character in media 🙏#the theme itself goes too hard as well like...foundational fratricide that led him to become the perfect prince™? 10/10 groundbreaking ✨️#cesare borgia#juan borgia#rodrigo borgia#the borgias#the borgias meta#david oakes#francois arnaud#françois arnaud#juan and cesare#text post#perioddramaedit

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yao– still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btw– realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?
It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.
Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his father– 👉👈 Of course he is!
But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.
Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.
#mdzs#mdzs meta#meng yao#jin guangyao#lan xichen#rs: i wish it could've been you#I think for a guy like nmj the reason this 'fakeness' is scary is because it makes him unpredictable#meng yao COULD be nice to you because he wants you to think well of him and the best way to do that is simply being nice.#OR he could be planning to kill you later. you have no way of knowing which one it is.#but like... the existence of the latter– while obviously very troubling!– doesn't really make the former manipulation in and of itself#but both people in universe and the fandom frustratingly often take it as such#'i want this person to like me so i'm gonna be nice to them' <- this is not manipulation. this is just interacting with people.#anyway this dual motivation probably also applies to show meng yao. who is scrambling to find something else now that he's been banished.#but the reason the novel grips me so much is little civilian a-yao doesn't even *know* lan xichen yet.#it's the journey of this at first being very inpersonal- both as an opportunity and as a heroic act#(the impression he's giving being that he saved a stranger because he's just that kind of person 😇)#and over the course of their time spent hiding together becomes... very very personal.#meng yao coming in with a very general plan that he could charm any kind of person with and slowly adjusting it to fit lxc#but how is that so different from just... getting to know a person and realizing what kind of relationship you want to have with them?#I also just think it's cute to have a-yao get bonked over the head with the realization that this guy is so fucking NICE what the FUCK?#no way he's this lucky. good shit doesn't *happen* to him where's the catch with this guy??? hello???#lucky of course both on a personal level and for his practical goals. i loveeee both sides of a-yao's brain screaming in tandem

Mha sketch dump!
feat. LoV sleeping and other things
So there's that World Hero vote going now, BUT there's also basically a personal Top 5 thing too
I thought about my top 5 for a bit and ended up with this
But as it was I didn't like that we don't exactly have a way to make multiple characters have same place like that character sorter. But my top 3 would've shared 1st place
And also it gave me some inspiration so I sketched Izuku and later Tomura. And here started the sketch wave, bc choosing AFOmura for the Tomura pic is... A choice and so there are two Tomura's on the sketch, with AFOmura getting the 2nd amd Tomura 1st
I got a bit frustrated with how I drew them so I decided to try to redraw some stuff while keeping with mha style as close as I could
I was a bit... Surprised? To see my own progress as the last time I did a thing like this it wasn't that good
Trying to simplify the style instead bc I was getting sleepy didn't help
#fanart#sketch#my art#bnha#league of villains#shigaraki tomura#tenko shimura#midoriya izuku#toga himiko#dabi#toya todoroki#spinner#shuichi iguchi#mr compress#jin bubaigawara#Had isat ost on a loop for the LoV sketch#It was my last one and I like it the most#I wanted to sketch something like that for a long time even more so after... Final arc#Was thinking about stuff while drawing#Like how Izuku tried to save Tomura and yet the moment he (Tenko) was free from all those feelings#He just thought of his friends and later LoV and refused to give up on that#And it wasn't even a choice that could've changed anything with how he was slowly dying after that blow and AFO's involvement#Isat is so easy to crossover with mha actually just take Izuku's arc and boom#I thought about LoV tho#One would ask when don't I do that#Hyperfixation is slowly becoming durable so I'm mostly trying stuff out and mixing now#This sketch dump was a spontaneous thing just because I saw that one top 5 thing#Because drawing mha stuff is pretty painful! That's why I drew LoV sleeping#I was literally thinking of dropping the sketches halfway with most of them#But in any case LoV always has a special place in my heart it's been 5 years after all

“Are you crying?” Fina exclaims in alarm. Tsurumi is equally startled when he wipes at his face and his hand comes away wet. Not once had he shed tears, not even when he’d lost them. Pulling a chair up to him, Fina dries his cheeks with soft dabs of her handkerchief. With her hand on his shoulder and her beautiful, bright eyes soft with more love than Tsurumi can bear, she waits for an explanation that he cannot give.
gnawing on "theatre" by Saengak again... it's free serotonin to me
#when I said I'm not above fix-it fics a while ago I meant this one specifically#it's incomplete but just complete enough for my peace of mind <3#it's also really fun to think about how this setup could've played out#I mean. could Tsurumi have saved his men from whatever fucked them up to begin with this time advantage#(I know he realistically wouldn't care to sfjkhdsfjds let me speculate)#tsukishima should be easy. ogata...possible I think#best course of action with usami is to stay away imo#koito family though? I don't think it's fixable without intense mind games.. (assuming Heinojou's death is unavoidable)#neglectful grieving father is better than dead father but Koito would probably grow up a lot more miserable#omom#golden kamuy#tsurumi tokushirou#hasegawa fina#hasegawa kouichi#hasefina#tsurufina#fic fanart#not much but egh

you know when you experienced something so traumatizing or grieved too hard your brain sort of temporarily locked that memory to protect you from the pain? i think that's what's been happening to me after deadpool 2 bc tell me why every time i rewatch that movie, i always forget how painful these scenes are?
they always leave me sobbing and totally wrecked but with each rewatch i'd just... forget they would eventually happen and i'd eventually get hurt??
#i love poolverine but wade x vanessa will always have a special place in my heart#they're it for me#but then again as much as i'd love them to get back together i also think they shouldn't#and this is my personal opinion#bc just like logan whose past shaped him into the man who saved the multiverse#i think vanessa played that role in wade's current life#and i can see why wade said he did it all for her. but if marvel makes her dump dermot to go back to wade that's just 🤕#well i wouldn't like that and i think that'd be a disrespect to her character n story n choice she made#and honestly i won't even bother going to the “well she could've still loved and wanted him back” discussion bc#i do think she was well aware of her decision to leave wade in the end and it must've hurt her terribly too#I MEAN LOOK AT THEM. you can't convince me vanessa wouldn't want to take all of wade's pain if she could#she loved wade just as much. if not more#dp 2 might be my fav dp movie#i love how it focused on wade's struggle to cope and his journey to 'get his heart in the right place'#and no matter how goofy they tried to portray his struggles you can just see the depth and pain behind his actions#but idk maybe that’s just me#deadpool#deadpool 2#wade wilson#vanessa carlysle

#dbtag#silly hours#god#I feel like that's a really clear and consistent thing throughout the entirety of the manga but OTL leave it to Toei!!!!#lays on the floor I wish people were less afraid of letting “good guys” be flawed and selfish and reckless without having to like.#idk vilify them?#like Goku does and always has had a ton of negative qualities about him but what keeps him a protag and what keeps those negatives charming#is that 1) he never promises to be anything Else. If you're upset by his behavior that's a you problem Goku's just doing Goku#He's only upset when Other People get hurt because 2) almost none of those negative qualities contain any malice whatsoever#even as a kid when he was 'i killed that guy' it was like 'i solved a problem why are you mad (gen)' not 'good fucking riddance lol'#and he kept that as an adult too even when he learned more about compassion he's still 'well if you're not gonna stop i have to kill you'#it's never 'fuck off and die' it's always 'listen buddy either you knock it off or i knock you out there is no option c '#and god i love that Goku. I spent so long thinking I hated Goku growing up but I only hated Toei's Goku. Toriyama's Goku is GREAT.#like look if an antagonist is just a hero with the wrong perspective a hero is just a villain with the right one#and the fact that Goku has all of the qualities of a villain with none of the malice or intention makes him SO POWERFUL as a character#Goku doesn't like bystanders getting hurt. That doesn't make him less chaotic and self-centered and simplistic in his worldview.#A hero sacrifices his loved ones to save the world -- a villain sacrifices the world to save his loved ones --#Goku sacrifices himself because you cannot kill him in any way that matters#idskahds anyway here's another essay in the tags for your wednesday evening scroll#the justification the interviewer gave was that the anime was for kids but my beef with that is that Hero Tropes strip chaotic characters#of their emotions. Goku's conflicts are emotional. Goku's power is emotional. Goku's childlikeness keep him authentically emotional.#MORE kids -- ESPECIALLY little boys -- deserve a male protagonist who leans into his emotions to persevere and win.#Super deciding his “angelic state” would kill him makes me want to tear my hair out lmao Goku's EMOTIONS are too strong to hold it.#you could've just asked toriyama about it why'd you decide on the most basic high-stakes shorthand possible OTL#aNYWAY#media analysis#in the tags at least lol

now there was no reason for lucanis to be given purple johnny silverhand as a plot point and then never have the purple johnny silverhand utilized except for maybe 3 or 4 times in the game (if you saved Treviso, otherwise it's twice) and dialogue. Dialogue where he pretty much just says weird and funny things and occasionally gets scolded like a dog which is entertaining sure but there is Literally A Demon In One Of The Companions Why Is This Not A Bigger Deal
#i think i've pinpointed what annoys me about the treviso vs minrathrous thing#it's not that neve or lucanis get mad at you but that you can't like. fix it. or talk about it.#you get 'punished' for picking one and it feels like it should be Worse#lucanis Especially winds up suffering in content bc of it and he's already hurting with content as it is#but apparently according to m kirby he never stops feeling betrayed which is valid#but why can't we fix it? or confront it? Why can't we have a rival situation? or see the effects of spite bc of it.#bc the Hardened thing is literally Nothing on both of them lmao oh no they wont heal me i guess#this man should be pissed at me and apparently he always was? despite us being friends? sort of? by the end?#like it's not even that Lucanis gets Mad at me (wish he'd show it) it's that this is a bioware game and i should be able to confront this#but no. just a choice where ultimately nothing happens but a map change and you don't get a mission/certain cutscenes#and lucanis or neve will go 'i'm doing this and you don't get a say' like ok that's fine and deserved#i just think spite should've potentially taken over lucanis more in a rival situation bc he's so hurt by the worst year of his life#and spite should be gnawing at the bit because this and the rest of the horrors pisses lucanis off#i also think neve should've tried blood magic for funsies esp if she becomes super determined to protect Dock Town but whateverr#i know these tags are slightly off topic but the point is SPITE SHOULDVE BEEN USED MOREEEE i'm so mad#honestly in my deluded hopes that this was going to be truly Bioware i thought Lucanis was going to have an anders situation#and spite would be more in control even if it's still Lucanis. just more volatile and sad.#and maybe it was going to be difficult but the idea that you could've potentially saved him by proving you were going to be there for him#ughhhh it's so annoying and depressing. I do like veilguard i do but this is the moment my love for it waned a bit#like sorry i think Lucanis/Spite should've turned Illario's head into wine if you didn't save Treviso. I think he should be that messed up#but i also thought this was going to be a thing that was going to happen with more companions lol cries for what should have been#prawn posts#veilguard critical

Shigaraki/Tenko wanting to destroy the false sense of peace All Might and Heroes created
.⬇️.
Shigaraki/Tenko wanting to destroy everything that lead to the existence of that house, which he conceptualizes as the embodiment of rejection and injustice in the world. Be a Hero for the Villains.
.⬇️.
AFO basically literally created that house
.⬇️.
Shigaraki/Tenko helps defeat AFO
.⬇️.
Deku telling him 'you already destroyed it' is... apparently Shigaraki/Tenko having finally gotten rid of the true cause of (his) rejection and injustice? main antagonist's big problem that represents an overarching major issue of the story/in-universe society... solved? (main antagonist's big problem that represents an overarching major issue of the story/in-universe society not actually being the problem he thought it was but now also solved?)
.⬇️.
No longer a need for there to be a Hero for the Villains, Shigaraki/Tenko dies.
.⬇️.
Heroes not to be blamed in the first place. also fuck everyone else and all other 'actual' outcasts I guess.
#i understand that Tenko not having 'supposed' to be rejected doesn't mean the rejection didn't occur for the other League members#but taking that away from Tenko/Shigaraki - leader of the League of Villains - wanting to be their champion#symbolically being their collective grievances and wills condensed into one#taking that away makes the story a lot weaker#GOD what happened#nalslastworkingbraincell#honestly making everything AFO's fault#and making Tenko's main issue being his despair toward himself (created by AFO)#allowed for the (seemingly for now) clean resolution of 'get rid of the both of them' possible#It's AFO's fault? Kill him! Problem solved#Tenko's issue not actually *harm caused by other (non-AFO) people* but instead *harm caused by his self-conceptualization/his own self*?#Tenko's projecting his own self-loathing and anger onto the world and causing trouble for everyone and making his crusade meaningless?#let him die too. Pity but problem solved!#AFO gave him the specific quirk that was Decay because it was such a brutal and deadly quirk that would guarantee rejection#you cannot tell me he could've been fine after manifesting Decay if only AFO wasn't there to tell him he has an innate need to destroy#not after what we've seen of Shinsou and Toga#other 'normal' people would not have let him live a normal life#that *is* also very much a problem that should be addressed#but it was AFO who gave him Decay and Decay was also actually not naturally existing#so everything's fine! no changes for anyone!#all this could've been saved if this was transferred to AFO - AFO also seen as a victim of societal apathy#especially since he was BORN A TRASH RIVER RAT ORPHAN#but he's just a lonely guy who was too unpleasant to form real relationships#so. only real issue Hero Society ever had that needed to be addressed was civilians being too hard on Heroes#gotta love them more and demand less of them#yippee

I've been thinking about tfone's future a lot, especially Megatron in specific, and all the shit that can happen during the war
(...though I'll admit I've been taking notes from aligned for a parallel to the one Plague episode in tfp where they have to go into a comatose Megatron's mind)
#I've been thinking about_ to tfone Megatron_ what the dream (pun noticed) outcome of the war would be#i really do think late war tfone Megatron could turn out like idwg1 Megatron or tfp Megatron#and ohhhohoh when i say that that comes with some implications for the Great Cybertronian War that's to come#i feel like he's capable of some very bad things#(aren't we all_ though_ in a way?)#and I'll admit an unwell part of me wishes to see that progression. part of me wants to see tfone Megatron get worse#I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE TFP PLAGUE EPISODE WHERE THEY GO INTO MEGATRON'S HEAD#I'm having au ideas#ideas about illusions of what could've been but never was#transformers#maccadam#transformers one#transformers prime#tf1 megatron#tfp megatron#we've played with the idea of the orion amnesia arc but in tfone#so ofc I'm going to think about the plague episode where they had to ask a comatose Megatron to help save Optimus#i think about that. a lot.#ignore if you want#transformers aligned#i am unwell about them

it's so interesting becuse in a deleted scene (like I can't even recall it being filmed, so maybe it was just in the script) harwin defends larys from someone making fun of his clubbed foot, and larys isn't happy about it. harwin is protective of his little brother, but larys doesn't like being protected. harwin probably wouldn't ever think larys would hurt him, yet larys very well could have a lot of resentment hiding away because harwin is so protective. it's actually so sad.
#like i get it. i get them both#harwin only wanting to help bc hes so full of love and in his heart is driven by his care for others#which eveidently is really the reason why he died in the first place bc he wasn't trapped in a room he went back to save his father#vs larys who was forced to be seen as weak and hates it but had to grow around it like a tree growing around a street sign#the hate isn't meant to be there but he's grown around it and consumed it and it's ruined anything good that he could've had in him#LIKE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND???? NONE OF THE SIBLINGS IN ASOIAF ARE GOOD. NONE OF THEM. THEY'RE ALL SO TRAGIC. SO COMPELLING THOUGH#nemos thoughts#asoiaf#hosue of the dragon#harwin strong#larys strong#hotd

I think Daniel jumping to say "he didn't save you" isn't supposed to be taken as absolute fact when Armand DID save him, he just didn't make the grand gesture of saving him in front of the coven when it mattered, at the trial. Armand took out the coffin from the morgue, gave Louis his blood in order to be revived, and gave him the out he needed in order to get out of Paris. But he didn't stand for Louis publicly, and he didn't just sell him and Claudia out. He directed the entire play and played a full hand at getting Claudia killed. There's a world of difference between "being stuck in a corner" to choose between the coven and Louis, and willingly directing them to kidnap, beat up, torture and then humiliate them in front of a live audience.
#interview with the vampire#i also think the possibility of Armand 'letting' Lestat save Louis; or pretty much making him choose between saving Louis or Claudia#was there; we just don't know for sure how it could've happened (yet; hopefully)#but this doesn't take away from the fact that Armand played a big part of the trial WILLINGLY#he didn't just know the coven was gonna do it; he OVERSAW all of it and allowed all the choices....#isn't that worse than simply condemning Louis to death in a way?#not just allowing your companion to suffer; but planning everything so that they can suffer at the hands of others before you lie to them#I think that's why Daniel's next line about their relationship being built on a seismic lie is what tore everything down

still thinking about your post about your dusknoir and how the option of doing Anything But What He Did was always available to him yet he chose to walk along a path that only ended up hurting himself and quite literally all that he held dear to himself.
I think he really beats himself up over it because there's something so gut wrenching over the idea that a safer, better option that wouldve guaranteed a good outcome to you and those you hold dear, yet your narrow scope of reality and the fear that crippling you if you had stepped out of your designed path (assuming he did not already do that when adapting to the father figure ruse that he tried to pull) had you by the neck to the point where even the option that 'things did not have to go this way' was already not possible, and you had no choice but to go on. and now, dusknoir had no one but himself to blame for the cracks and strains he forced upon the two kids who looked up to him. the option to be with them, to save them, to shield them from him, yet he took it upon himself to be the knife that stabs them in the back when they willingly embraced his shine and the venom that reeks into their bodies when he tells them how much they had meant *little*, if *nothing* to him at all. he could've raised their spirits high, yet he proceeded to slam them down into reality and teach them the harsh lesson that nothing good comes out of a stranger with good intentions, even when that stranger made you feel as though you deserved to be loved. that you did not need to be so afraid, and that there was no shame in who you are. he was their light, and he burned so bright that he left them tearing and weeping in the darkness.
Sinnoh.

BUT STILL.#yet he took it upon himself to be the knife that stabs them in the back when they willingly embraced his shine#and the venom that reeks into their bodies when he tells them how much they had meant *little* if *nothing* to him at all.#he could've raised their spirits high yet he proceeded to slam them down into reality and teach them the harsh lesson that#nothing good comes out of a stranger with good intentions even when that stranger made you feel as though you deserved to be loved.#that you did not need to be so afraid and that there was no shame in who you are. he was their light#and he burned so bright that he left them tearing and weeping in the darkness.#<<<< IM GONNA THROW UP#WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THAT. WHY WOULD YOU SAY ALL OF THAT. HOLY SHIT.
