#i just know that saga will be the end of me

[toshn]

showing mark weird tiktoks :P this is really just pure brainrot i can’t takr it anymore it’s all over my fyp 💔🥀gn!reader i rhink and hero reader!! not proofread!!

it was 11:27 pm. you were doing your usual—doomscrolling on tiktok in bed while laying in mark’s arms after beating the shit out of criminals the entire day. it was the only time where you were able to just lay down and do nothing. if you weren’t born with powers, you would have definitely chose to rot in bed all day eating frosted flakes in the same pajamas you wore the previous day as opposed to working your butt off to fight crime. one could only dream

you’re new latest obsessions, of which mark was graciously subjected to never hearing the end of, was those weird ai generated photos of animals mutated with random things and the cute little japanese mouse-like creature—chiikawa. if you weren’t mouthing off about something a weird half-jet plane half-crocodile said, you’d be crying about how cute chiikawa is. or whoever ‘gluttonous king usagi’ is, as mark would say.

“mark. our streak mark. mark our streaks.” you mumbled with your cheek pressed against his chest, eyes still glued onto the screen in your hands.

“why do you keep sending me this rat in a suit who killed john pork? why is his wife having an affair with a pig?”

you giggled, laughing at the silliness of what came out of your boyfriend’s mouth. “tim cheese was a controlling piece of shit. he doesn’t deserve tina! she should’ve left him a long time ago!”

“and he didn’t have to kill john pork…” mark grumbled, scrolling further up to watch the other tiktoks you sent him. making sure to answer each one and keep your streak alive—or he won’t be hearing the end of it.

you rolled away from his grasp to instead press your stomach against him, your face inches away from his. “yeah! he was totally jealous of john pork. i’ll send you another tiktok so you’ll be able to educate yourself better about the ‘tim-cheese-john-pork saga.” you exclaimed, laying your cheek against him once more. the rumbling of his chest that came from his laugh making your heart swell with how soothing it sounded.

mark was really enjoying hearing you ramble about things he doesn’t even understand. hell, he was a geek himself. but if someone were to put you and him in the same room? (please do) it’s a different story. sometimes he doesn’t even get half of what you’re saying because he can’t catch up with internet humor nowadays—not that he has the time to do so. he patiently waited for you to find the video you were looking for, briefly looking at his own phone before he felt you perk up.

“here look! he betrayed john pork! i kinda feel like pengu is in on it… just- just watch the whole thing!”

and he indeed, watch the whole thing. his face was a flurry of emotions the entire time. he was frowning, furrowing his eyebrows, for a second you thought he was gonna throw hands himself. mark was clearly invested.

“i’m so scared for my life right now. what if i actually am next?”

you let out a hearty laughter, rolling away from mark and onto your back. he had the same reaction as you did the first time you watched the tim cheese lore video. and he even had the same look on his face when tim shot john pork’s head off clean.

“baby this is no laughing matter. who even made this? what beef do they have with john pork? i mean he clearly had pork you know.”

you continued on laughing, the absurdity of the entire conversation further fueling the fire and mark was suppressing his own laughter, determined to be the mature one between the two of you. mark shook his head. dismissing the tiktok that was still playing in the background as he watched you cradle your heaving chest while quiet giggles continued on under your breath.

“alright.” you deadpanned, “it’s no longer funny. i’m over it.” you sat upright, a faux stoic expression on your face and you looked mark right in the eyes— slowly getting back into the position you were once in.

mark shook his head in agreement, placing a hand on your back and rubbing circles on the area as he lifted his phone again to open tiktok. his attention still subtly on you. “yeah, you’re right.” he remarked.

“but what if… pengu actually framed tim cheese and he killed john pork? food for thought, (y/n). food for thought.”

I’ve never been completely satisfied with the Silmarils as a plot device. If Sauron gets the one ring, the world will end, but what will happen if the Sons of Feanor reclaim the Silmarils? Not much.

It’s easy to frame the whole saga as a pointless struggle over “shiny rocks.”

It’s unclear what the Silmarils do. Secondhand Silmaril light is powerful enough to hold Shelob at bay, the jewels burn evil people/creatures, and the people of Sirion believe they have magical protective powers. However, Beren isn’t healed from his mortal wounds when he holds a Silmaril, and their evil-repelling properties don’t stop Morgoth from wearing them in his crown.

I do think it’s legitimate to ask why Dior/Elwing didn’t give up the Silmaril. Yes, the Feanorians don’t really deserve it after all their evil deeds, but handing it over would bring peace between the elves. It’s frustrating to see Doriath and Sirion fall because their rulers didn’t want to let go of the shiny.

The only way I can wrap my head around the Silmarils is to treat them as religious relics.

The light of the Trees is not just a “public good,”but something sacred. Yavanna created the light, and Varda hallowed the Silmarils so no unclean hands could touch them.

When I think about Elwing clutching the Silmaril and jumping into the sea, my terminal Catholic brain rot connects her with St. Tarcisius, an ancient Roman martyr who died rather than hand over the Eucharist. He is only known from this 4th century Latin poem:

When an insane gang pressed saintly Tarcisius, who was carrying the sacraments of Christ, to display them to the profane, he preferred to be killed and give up his life rather than betray to rabid dogs the heavenly body.

You can bet your ass that Tolkien the Literal Altar Boy knew this story, which was popular in Victorian Catholicism (it certainly burned itself into my 7 year-old brain).

Giving the Silmarils to the Feanorians would have been a kind of sacrilege. We know that because the Silmarils burn Maedhros and Maglor, and the horror of realizing their unworthiness is so great that Maedhros kills himself and Maglor wanders by the sea grieving forever.

For me, the story of the Silmarils and the Oath is about the tragedy of doing evil in the name of religion, or simply forgetting the point of it all:

For Feanor began to love the Silmarils with a greedy love, and grudged the sight of them to all save to his father and his seven sons; he seldom remembered now that the light within them was not his own. (Silm. pg. 59)

I find more emotional depth in this interpretation than reducing it all to a blood feud over jewelry.

Responding late in the day again, but fortunately not nearing 12 AM this time. Lemme give answering some of this a shot.

Regarding the "Heart of the Dragon" stuff. Yeah, I'm mostly out of my element here and I do appreciate the little Japanese lesson despite my disappointment. Obviously, I can't dispute what you're saying, but I do still have some comments. The decision to include ambergris as a plot device and chose the "Heart of the Dragon" name for it based on possible historical speculation about where ambergris is produced are still deliberate writing decisions that were made and I'm sure those decisions are meant to convey something. Just maybe not the something I was thinking of based on my thinking being rooted in the English language. Which is a frustrating thing about engaging with a lot of Japanese media and not understanding the language. Stuff like this catches you sometimes and makes deciphering what the intent might have been behind certain writing decisions harder.

Regarding the post-credits, I think I can engage with that a bit more since I disagree with your assessment that Saejima was referring to Majima's desire to cure Kiryu's cancer as the dream. I'll go with the official translation to dissect this part. "Take the dream from the man, but can't take the man from the dream. Kiryu Kazuma. You never could give up on that one."

So two things to talk about here. The literal content of these sentences and what logically makes sense.

First, content:

In the content of these statements, Saejima makes no mention of the cancer. What he says is that some vague dream had been wiped from Majima's mind, but Majima himself remained the same person who has that dream and acts on it, even if his mind can't consciously recall what he's doing. The dream itself remains vague at this point. Then the wham line. "Kiryu Kazuma". Just Kiryu Kazuma. No mention of the cancer or Kiryu's current state. That then leads into "You never could give up on that one". I think this structure is probably the main reason a lot of people immediately hear "Kiryu is his dream").

Now, to break this down from a logical perspective and also account for the tone and emotional weight being given to the scene:

"You never could give up on that one". This implies it's a dream he's stubbornly hung on to for a long time.

The main part of PYIH only takes place a few months after 8. Majima has known about Kiryu's cancer diagnosis for only half a year. If the "dream" is meant to be "Majima find out Kiryu has cancer a few months ago and now he wants to cure him", then you can see why Saejima standing there and sorta fondly reminiscing about how Majima "never could give up on that one" is kind of an odd thing to do, right? "Ha, you never could give up on that one". Saejima, at the time, he had only know about it for a few months. What do you mean he never could give up on it? 🗿 A possible alternative reading of "You never could give up on that one" is that he couldn't give up on saving Kiryu's life. But the lead up to that statement that puts emphasis on the dream ("take the dream from the man, but can't take the man from the dream"), the previous part of the conversation about personally accomplishing some dreams and leaving some for others (mirroring what Mirei said in 5), and (this is maybe a weaker point) the way the dub had Saejima enunciate his words at "You never could give up on that one" points towards him referring to Majima not being able to let go of his dream. And with that reading, the dream being "Majima tries to cure Kiryu's cancer" doesn't make much sense.

So what has Majima been doing for a long time? Helping Kiryu. K1 (specifically the Kiwami remake where Majima is helping Kiryu regain his strength through ME), 2, 3, 5. And now this new game. The post credits twist is that he's still at it with helping Kiryu. That core motivation is there from the start of the Kiryu saga to the end. "You never could give up on that one". And I think this also matches the emotional weight and tone being given to the scene better as well. To say Majima's dream is to save Kiryu from cancer condenses his dream down to this one specific (albeit tragic) moment in time. Kiryu himself being the dream moves the dream beyond being about Majima struggling to cope with this specific tragedy and moves into making more of a statement about this relationship that has been there since the very beginning of the Kiryu saga and has remained important to both characters until what's probably the end of it.

WITH ALL THAT SAID. None of that is necessarily romantic which is what this discussion all goes back to. Kiryu being Majima's dream could be interpreted as a romantic thing. But that's just one possible interpretation (and the one I go with). It's not the slam dunk the way I thought the "Heart of the Dragon" thing was, haha. I DO think Kiryu being singled out as Majima's dream makes that relationship special though and that's what I was trying to get at. There was a little excerpt from the Anan Magazine that says as much actually. From what I can tell anyway. I ran it through google translate. You understand the language, so maybe if you have the version with no English text over it, you could rip this translation apart. I'd attach that for your convenience if I had it on hand. But I don't. If I recall right, this magazine was released shortly before the game itself.

A friend of mine had actually shared those with video links with me before, but I've only seen most of the first one. Concerning the bits about Kiryu and Majima's relationship, I think it's stuff you can understand from just playing through the game and really paying attention to Majima. His pessimism and how he puts that pessimism up against Kiryu and makes their encounters fights based on ideals. His behavior becoming noticeably more out of control and desperate at the soapland (crashing into the building, scaring the hell out of that girl). And his defeat getting a blissful reaction out of him because he's actually happy about it deep down and that being where their actual friendship starts. But I'm starting to derail a bit. Thanks for sharing, I do still need to watch the rest.

OKAY, LAST PART. I pinned the hesitance to depict queer relationships on fear of backlash in a more matter-of-fact way than I probably should have. There is for sure a hesitance with the most notable queer characters either being either very, very much in the background or it's a Mine situation where he's relevant but put on a bus after one game. I don't agree at all that the people who would get angry have been weeded out of the fandom. Maybe I just have a talent for walking into the fandom, tripping and falling in some mud, and looking up and seeing a bunch of pigs splashing around and you've had a different experience than me. But I do see the sort of people that would lose it over canon Kazumaji and they're not even particularly rare. The people that pin Mine's love confession on everything but romantic love and "Oh the sun was just in his eyes even though it was at night, so he didn't know what he was saying". The people that love to joke about Majima having a thing for Kiryu, but get defensive or even outright hostile as soon as they see people being serious about it or speculating about a possibly bisexual Majima in general. The people that get incredibly hostile when others try to criticize this franchise's history when it comes to writing women. Those people are here and they absolutely would lose it if Majima was confirmed bi.

But I think you're right in that I was maybe too quick to point at that as the reasoning for the hesitance. I don't think it should be ruled out as a factor. But it's not a given that it's the deciding factor. And to be clear, my intent was never to imply anything on the part of the writers and what they do or don't personally want to do. I've heard Yokoyama is a fan of "Banana Fish" (Confession, I have not read it myself. I have volume 1 on my shelf and need to get to it. All I know about it is that it prominently features organized crime and is very gay) and the fact that he tries to go there at all, even if he falls short of adding in anything big and lasting across multiple games, is evidence that at least he personally has an interest in writing a queer romance. He just, for whatever reason, hasn't gone all in. Whether that be concern with backlash (which was maybe a more prominent factor in the past before the demographic shift in the audience happened), just being self-conscious about not pulling it off, something else, or a combination of different reasons. That assumption was my bad though I think the point still stands that putting in such a relationship is something they're hesitating to go all in on with. Whatever the reason may be.

So anyway, this got long again. I got really into the character analysis aspect of what I was saying and ended up rambling quite a bit. But the point I was making in the original post relied heavily on that "Heart of the Dragon" thing and I was off there so a lot of what I said doesn't hold up. But I did want to respond to some of the things you said. If I respond to anything again, I'll place a little more value on being more concise next time instead of writing another novel.

Hello! The twist ending of PYIH kind of shocked me. 'Twas really foolish of me for thinking that for the entirety of Kiryu's saga, Majima has just that twisted obsession with Kiryu, being a "Mad Dog" and all. I came across your PYIH analysis the other day and it really brought home what they were conveying with the ending.

I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the premise of PYIH. Is the sole purpose of Majima's "filming/documentary(?)" is to rehearse telling it to Kiryu? Because if it had been, that would be even crazier.

Oh, and at this point, is it even reasonable right now to interpret their relationship as platonic or brotherly? What do you think?

YEAHHHHH imo I think yakuza kenzan yakuza 3 (rooftop scene) is where we first truly starting seeing a glimpse of a deeper dynamic between Majima and Kiryu that goes beyond the "weird twisted obsession" reading, and we see more examples of it later as the series goes on (gestures at yakuza 5 and IW) but moments like those were decently subtle/blink-and-you'll-miss-it (not to mention they lessen in frequency also probably in part to Majima's lessening screentime throughout the series), but pyih's ending really goes out of its way to ensure that you actually Know how deep and genuine Majima's feelings are, which I am both extremely appreciative of and Kinda Crazy about

I think the whole documentary thing is interesting. Given the fact that they went out of their way to get the equipment/crew/etc. for the "film version", I would say that the Majima's retelling of his story at the studio and at Kiryu's bedside serve different purposes, and that him telling the story on set was not specifically for Kiryu (what Majima plans to do with the "film version" I'm not completely sure, but I guess for now we can assume it's just a project Majima wanted to do while getting Majima Construction back off the ground?) I'd say the premise of pyih is both to retell Majima's story as he presents it to the "general audience" And Kiryu, hence why the game starts with one and ends with the other. It's the same story to everyone, for the mostpart, and the main difference between the two 'versions' is How he presents it (to the cameras/the players/main audience he puts on the fuckass pirate costume and the theatrics, to Kiryu he tells it to him straight, without the extra show stuff for the cameras. We can Assume the story he tells to each audience is practically identical, considering that the cutscene of him telling it to us in the beginning of the game and him telling it to KIryu at the end of the game use identical lines (cough cough in the Japanese audio), but his tone of voice between the two are notably very different)

Uhhhh shoot I don't know if any of that made sense 💀 Point is I think Majima telling the story of pyih is, in fact, meant for Everyone, it's just that Kiryu gets a sort of special, more authentically told version of it if you will (After all, Majima could've just shown Kiryu the film when it was finally done, but instead he went out of his way to tell it to him personally)

As for the question of "is kazumaji canon now", WOO boy. First of all I actually lowkey want to thank you for asking that question, I've been wanting to post about it for a while now but kept putting it off lol. I mulled over this exact question quite a bit during the week-or-so long time period that I was writing most of my analysis after finishing the game, and, despite the fact that I myself am very vocal about liking kazumaji in a romantic scenario/context, I would not personally call it canon, and I say it is still absolutely reasonable to interpret them as platonic.

While many of the aspects we see in their relationship (especially on Majima's end) such as obsession, devotion, etc. etc. are often associated with romantic interest (Especially in fandom spaces), I don't think they have to be considered specifically romantic. People who have read through my posts may remember a while back that I did an analysis of The Sun at 36.5 wondering if the song was written with the intent to represent Majima's feelings towards Kiryu (for the record this was incorrect and the meaning behind it goes past the scope of the game) and I was going pretty insane about it lol. That's because, had the song been written with that in mind, it would've meant with almost 100% certainly that they would be, in fact, canon, and that would've been Insane. However, this is not the case, and other than that theory I had there's nothing else in the games that would specifically state that either one has Explicitly Romantic feelings towards the other. Do they have a very deep and complex relationship, the likes of which they don't share with many other characters? Definitely. Is it explicitly romantic? I wouldn't say so

The main example I would like to bring up to argue against it would be minedai (*cough* my second favorite yakuza ship I fucking Love Mine Yoshitaka so much he's one of my favorites). I'll link this amazing post with all the examples but essentially, while minedai and kazumaji share many of the same themes in their relationship/dynamic (again, obsession, devotion, you get the drill (can you tell Majima and Mine are two of my favorite characters yet LOL)) the main difference between them is that, with minedai, it is basically outright said Multiple Times in Multiple Sources outside of even Yakuza 3 itself that Mine loved Daigo, with words used Specifically to convey strong romantic connotations, a choice rgg went out of their way to make every single time they wrote about them together. Kazumaji, on the other hand, does not use these kinds of words to describe each other, whether it be in words coming from Kiryu and Majima themselves, or official relationship charts, descriptions, etc.

Can feelings including romance be heavily implied without needing to be explicitly stated? Absolutely, but with the way rgg tends to Very Obviously and Explicitly state when characters Are romantically interested in each other, and also simply because there is still (imo) plenty of room to read kazumaji as Not romantic, I wouldn't say it's canon. And for the record, I wanna reiterate that this is coming from someone who is personally very enthusiastic about kazumaji as a ship, so I'm trying to be purely objective here, and that is my verdict (Also this is just a random aside, but I really don't agree with the people who are (unironically) labelling Kiryu and Majima's relationship as "queerbaiting". but that's a whole other discussion entirely)

Thank you for shooting an ask !!

[i-dreamed-i-had-a-son]

I love how Epic is a story about how sometimes, you change in ways you can't undo. Sometimes it's a choice, and sometimes it's something that happens to you; often, it's both. And in some ways, you may be made worse. You may make mistakes. You may become someone you don't recognize, and you may not like who you now see in the mirror. You might lose your old self in the process of surviving.

But when you do, the people who love you will still be there. Not because of who you used to be, or how you might heal or become better, or out of ignorance of who you now are. Just because they love you, and you do not need to be perfect to be loved. You just need to be there.

And they'll be waiting for you.

antoine + étoiles insane moments, p.2. aka the ass saga. p1 here

transcript + context for some of the clips below

[Video Transcript:

[First clip plays.]

Rivenzi: You want to see Etoiles’ ass, of course…

Antoine: Yeah, I’m gonna stare at your ass, Etoiles…

Etoiles: Fuck, what dread, during Popcorn [a talkshow Etoiles had been invited on the previous week], when I went up to the map and you said that, and I thought ‘whoa—‘

Antoine: Sorry

[Second clip plays: the moment during Popcorn]

PA/Domingo: Antoine Daniel has posted a tweet for us: ‘I wanted to look at this map of Africa, but Etoiles’ ass in the shape of a standing bell is driving me crazy. Smiley face with eyes in the shape of hearts.’

[Third clip plays: a continuation of the first clip.]

Antoine: Sorry, bro…

Ponce: Oh but that tweet, besides

Rivenzi: A standing bell…

Antoine: What’s more is that I never tweet and when I do it’s to tweet this sort of shit

Ponce: That’s exactly what I told myself. When PA read the tweet, I thought to myself, ‘but he never tweets!’ And he tweets to talk about Etoiles’ ass

Antoine: There needs to be a good reason, you see

[Fourth clip plays: a clip from the Team du Lundi’s minecraft server.]

JDG: Someone (in chat) said, ‘I can’t tell whether the atmosphere is good tonight or—‘

Antoine: It sucks, it sucks

Florence: You don’t need to ask every time, it always sucks

Baghera: Always sucks. Especially when Etoiles talks about ass [which had been a previous topic of discussion for him that night]

Antoine: Stooop, I enjoy it

Mynthos: You enjoy it?

JDG: It’s true tonight that it’s more weird than bad

Antoine: I like it when Etoiles talks about ass….

[Fifth clip plays: a second and different clip from Popcorn.]

Etoiles: —you’re not allowed to tell me that [Xari claimed to not know much about cinema]. I know you, I studied, because you’re my rival [in pop culture]. I really enjoy what you do in life, Xari, and you’re really knowledgeable about cinema

Antoine: What do you mean he’s your rival? And I’m just shit?

Etoiles: You, you’re my lover

Antoine: Oh yeah, sorry, my bad

PA/Domingo: One of the three is gonna die soon. There’s a whole situation, there’s a whole lore

[Sixth clip plays: a clip from the QSMP.]

Antoine: Don’t you want to get married, dude?

Etoiles: Well, I don’t have the time to fuck

Antoine: What the fuck?!

Etoiles: I don’t have time to fuck, dude. I just need to kill everyone

Antoine: No but just a marriage, you see. You’ve watched Game of Thrones— you haven’t watched Game of Thrones, you can’t know how marriages work in that series

Etoiles: I’ve watched it, but I’m married to the street, dude. I can’t give out my heart that quickly

Antoine: Yeah but you can give out your ass quickly, no?

Etoiles: No, frankly, my ass—

Antoine: What the fuck?!

Etoiles: Giving out your ass takes time, dude

Antoine: What the fuck…

Etoiles: Then again, I need to think about it. I’ll give you my answer. I need to discuss, and everything

Antoine: I’m tired of getting betrayed. You get married with someone else—

Etoiles: Never in a million years!

Antoine: —it’s like yesterday. Apparently Maximus got the mic from his ass removed while I wasn’t there. I was supposed to be the one to do it

Etoiles: Oh okay, so I’m your second choice?

[Overlapping]

Antoine: No! It was just to help him—

Etoiles: No, but, okay

Antoine: He got— listen—

Etoiles: There’s no problem!

Antoine: Fuck, nevermind

Etoiles: There’s no issue! Oh, so you’re opening my chest and stealing?

Antoine: I was just looking! Out of curiosity

Etoiles: Yeah, that’s it

Antoine: I don’t even understand what’s in it

Etoiles: Yeah, out of curiosity. Dude, your opinion on my cave?

Antoine: Well frankly it’s big

[rin-sith]

Jorge Rivera Herrans, I have but one request.

If you can put a compassionate moment of mercy into Get In The Water (my beloved 🫶) you can do the same with Odysseus.

This is currently all that I can think of in terms of lowk unhinged things that I want out of the Ithaca Saga. Jorge, please. PLEASE.

[bibiana112]

I don't think the bad response to vengeance saga is due to it being too video game anime coded I think Jorge had to falter somewhere in this project and this ended up being it, it's not a terrible big mistake either and is still awesome to see a guy in his position who's not exactly a first timer but that has used his storytelling media in a way that's all around innovative and experimental still have nearly flawless execution of every album so far

Ideally to me, Hermes would tell Odysseus to not open this bag too soon he'd make sure the audience knows in his song that aeolous put the storm in there again but that the other gods blessed it in some way too, a passing mention of them too wanting to get at poseidon that this is the will of the gods now for Odysseus to return home, in a way that wouldn't change anything about the intensity and emotional catharsis of 600 strike cause then in the last animatic of the stream you could only convey that visually

Absolutely no hate to the 3D animator that was called in but even if it was the most professional made flawless renders and animation I've ever seen it would still break immersion too much by staying in that general style in my opinion, and doing that alongside asking us to believe poseidon was taken down by a mortal on a jet pack with no molly or outside help beyond the wind yeeting him up was just asking too much of our suspension of disbelief to go alongside that level of immersion break

[quamaii]

Max when the contraption he built specifically for Jimmy to throw knives at Duncan is used by Jimmy to throw knives at Duncan:

[immediatenature]

Work in progress? Idk if I want to color it properly, I’ve been up working on this after the stream ended

[whenthegoldrays]

also I think it’s time for a little Elly Lore Update because I feel like I mention so many people on here and y’all need to understand who I’m taking about when you attend the virtual sleepovers 😌

[teamfortresstwo]

“Odysseus soloing Poseidon doesn’t make sense” YEAH BUT ISNT IT FUN?? SONT YOU HAVE ANY JOY?? DONT YOU LOVE IT WHEN A MAN IS PATHETIC AND SOPPING WET AND PUNISHED ????

[endead-art]

The Ithaca Saga (Epic the Musical) was so good

I already listened to the songs prior to the stream, but man

That truly was a journessy, an epic one at that

Thank you Mr. Jalapeño

that moment when saga fights against the darkness in her mind place and opens the door to leave and it starts to pan out—showing nothing but stars just like the Night Springs intro before she appears in the dark place’s new york. Traversing the void in between worlds just like her dad. cinema!!
