hey fam, welcome to the May 2024 roundup of the best hannigram fics i've read this past month! i read several million words worth of fics, and these were the cream of the crop. i also managed to rewatch the show for the fifth time!! (unemployment has its perks lmao)

as a reminder: the ingredients for a five star rating typically (but not always!!) include some combination of a.) believable characterizations of both Hannibal and Will, b.) compelling plot and/or character arcs, and c.) high quality smut.

that being said, my judgment of the aforementioned ingredients is powered almost exclusively by vibes. as such, it is incredibly subjective.

you can find past rec lists below:

February March April

and if you have any recs of your own for me, PLEASE SHARE.

anyway, in no particular order, let's go!

Overcoming by purefoysgirl

Word Count: 547.5k Summary: A Victorian A/B/O romance in which Hannibal Lecter is the future Duke of Westvale who has been away at war for the past ten years. His Grandfather has made good on a contract made shortly after Hannibal's birth to procure him a wife. It was supposed to be easy. Naturally, with the Omega, Will, given in the place of his twin sister, it is anything but, because if there is one thing Hannibal Lecter despises, it's Omegas.

This fic had me holding back tears when it ended (after sobbing a couple different times). This was... incredible. What a fucking UNDERTAKING this author committed to, and despite this being a doorstopper of a fic, the plot did not miss a single beat. Just... wow. For the love of god, please read this.

Falls the Shadow by littlesystems

Word Count: 72.4k Summary: "You're a psychiatrist," Will says. "Between your personal and professional lives you must have met thousands of people, you must know dozens of different flavors of pathology. Do you know anyone who would take me as I am? Who would be able to love me," he gestures in a sweeping motion, from his messy hair to his stained knee, "just as I am?" "I do." Bedelia's words shock Will into stillness. “Really?” AKA an AU where Bedelia is Will’s psychiatrist instead of Hannibal, Will makes a series of increasingly questionable life choices, and no one should ever take Bedelia’s advice. Ever.

GIMME MORE STARSSSSSSSS. Bedelia as Will's psychiatrist was brilliant, holy shit. And Will understanding Hannibal and completely accepting him? This is something I see so rarely done in fics. Will always makes him be a lot less manipulative, or at least goes through heavy angst over it. But in this? Will was immediately endeared because that's just who Hannibal is.

Bram Stoker's HANNIBAL by DBMars

Word Count: 586.7k Summary: Love Never Dies. "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." Hannibal + Bram Stoker's Dracula + the classic novel = a new version of the seductive vampire legend. Count Hannibal Lecter loses the thing most precious to him -- the love of his life. God is beyond measure in wanton malice, and matchless in his irony. And so Hannibal renounces God, and becomes an immortal monster that feeds on the blood of the living. 400 years after losing his beloved, Count Lecter meets a man who looks exactly like the husband he lost -- reborn and returned. But who could learn to love a monster?

@dbmars you are a fucking genius. I am honestly still processing and figuring out how to communicate just how amazing this fic was. Do yourself a favor and go read it NOW.

the book of jonah by zipegs

Word Count: 18.1k Summary: A sudden breath of hot wind presses through the trees. For a moment, it feels fresh, alive, and then the dust—the pollen—comes along with it, a parasite hitched on the back of the breeze. Will is ravenous. --- After the fall, Will and Hannibal sojourn in a remote, decrepit cabin in South America while they await Chiyoh’s return. But something here is afflicting them, and it’s only getting worse.

Okay, bear with me. THIS WAS FUCKING AMAZING. I haven't felt this way after consuming a piece of media since I watched Guillermo del Toro's The Autopsy episode. Psychological horror mixed with body horror mixed with smut??? I guess that does it for me. I literally can't stop thinking about this fic. It's been two weeks and I am STILL thinking about it.

Wrong by HotMolasses (@snazzymolasses here on tumblr)

Word Count: 4.2k Summary: Will roughly rubbed his arm across his mouth again, trying to rub it off. Rub off the scent of Alana, after they’d kissed. After she’d kissed him. Or he’d kissed her? It was mutual. Until it wasn’t. Until Will breathed in her scent, so familiar, so Alpha, so…wrong. He’d pulled back forcibly, unable to hide the expression of revulsion on his face. “I…I need to go.” he said, sweeping his coat off the back of a chair on his way towards the door. “Lock up when you leave.” The weather was crap, and it probably wasn’t smart to drive in the snow while he was in pre-heat, but Will didn’t know what else to do. He needed to figure this out, he needed to talk to the only person who understood him. He needed to talk to Hannibal.

So ummmmmmm what do I need to do to turn this into like a whole AU?? As always, this was a total home run. Every single bit of it was perfect.

as soft, as wide as air by BlackKnightSatellite

Word Count: 193.9k Summary: After surviving the fall, Will finds he has far fewer hesitations about joining Hannibal than he would have guessed. Character death, but not Will or Hannibal.

Well shit. I read this immediately after a full rewatch of the show (in four days no less) and THIS is my new season 4 canon. It's brilliant and actually reads like a proper season would. And I love how it gives all the characters a concluded story line. Aside from Will and Hannibal. I also loved how much this explored Will's instability and how his mental state would be affected after he finally slung off all the guilt and allowed himself to fully enjoy killing. All around very good.

The Dispersal Method by @victorineb

Word Count: 16.9k Summary: It’s a normal fall day in the forest for Will Graham. Dead body in front of him, cannibal psychiatrist behind him, the usual. Then Will brushes against the wrong flower, and suddenly neither he nor Hannibal can keep their hands off each other. Now, Will must navigate his way out of the crime scene and Jack’s scrutiny while also trying not to jump Hannibal’s bones at every opportunity. Well, one out of three ain’t bad. Set nebulously in s2, post-Will's release from the BSHCI. Will’s a conflicted honeypot, Hannibal’s a (not-so) secretly-besotted asshole, and nobody has brought enough lube.

THIS IS THE BEST SEX POLLEN I'VE EVER READ. Seriously. The BEST out of pretty much any fandom (at least so far).

Between the Shadow and the Soul by raiast

Word Count: 48.7k Summary: When Will decides to stop taking his suppressants neither he nor Hannibal can deny the attraction between them. After nearly a decade of running from his biology, Will is faced with his primitive Omega urges full force. As if navigating his hormones wasn't enough, there is a killer at large with a very specific motive that seems to only be targeting preteen boys.

This might be my new favorite ABO fic? And one of the better case fics out there.

Sleepover by EarthsickWithoutYou

Word Count: 70k Summary: Set in Season 1, after "Fromage." Will is still confused about his kiss with Alana and seeks romantic advice on how to date and be more "smooth" from Hannibal. Little does he know that Hannibal is madly, passionately obsessed with him, and desperately jealous. Needless to say, Dr. Lecter is all too happy to teach Will everything he knows about love and dating.

This was pretty fluffy, tender, and fun, and it was exactly what I needed after finishing a heavier fic

Alana Finds Out by @victorineb

Word Count: 32.1k Summary: A series of one-shots in which Alana Bloom discovers, in the midst of various tropes, that her boyfriend Hannibal Lecter's feelings for Will Graham run far deeper than friendship. Basically a chance for Alana to shout at the pair of emotionally-repressed idiots whilst still indulging in much Hannigram loveliness.

Oh I loved all of this. This scratched that itch in my brain that loves when Alana realizes that Hannibal has wanted Will all along. And some of these one-shots are genuinely hysterical. Love.

Doctor's Orders by JSinister32

Word Count: 29.2k Summary: “He’s dead on his feet, Jack. I do not understand how you allowed him to come when he’s so obviously ill. There have been too many hours in service of your needs, so many that it seems to have affected any sleep that he may have gotten over the past few weeks. From what you and I have discussed, he has a difficult time shutting his mind down under the best of circumstances and this case today has clearly gotten to him.” The doctor stepped closer to the profiler, peering into his eyes as Will tried to focus. “Will? Can you hear me?” Will Graham has never been particularly good at taking care of himself. When he comes down with a severe cold while working on a string of murders, the new psychiatrist on retainer, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, offers to care for him. Will he be able to keep his feelings in check while Hannibal is in his home? Hannibal Lecter can't get the profiler working for the Violent Crimes unit out of his mind. When given the opportunity to care for him when he's ill, will his feelings for the other man come to light?

TENDER. I want like 70k more words of this. Especially Hannibal putting Jack in his place. Especially Hannibal washing Will's hair. Mmm. There's just something so good about Will letting Hannibal take care of him.

The First Condition of Immortality is Death by OneHandedBooks

Word Count: 92.5k Summary: Hannibal’s heart stopped for the first time after he’d dragged himself and Will out of the frigid ocean onto the rocky shore at the bottom of the bluff.

Oh this was GOOD. Very tender, good characterizations, and loved how Will's hallucinations were portrayed. This was just all a really good exploration of how their relationship could have progressed. This author also is incredibly good at showing the scenes in a way that I could watch them unfold in my head. This felt like a crystal clear movie.

What Do The Dead Know? by OneHandedBooks

Word Count: 7.6k Summary: He looks up at her, haloed by the sun. She could be anyone. No one. St. Abigail, patron of lilies and last chances. AU: What if Will joined Hannibal willingly after the Uffizi Gallery and they shared a few tense weeks in the world before Mason's men finally ran them down? In which Will writes, hallucinates, and succumbs to the dark side and Hannibal is a manipulative, brainwashing, bastard.

cw: Abigail/Will. But does it really count if it's a dream sequence? Regardless, this was something else, off the charts, big fan. The author NAILED the hallucinatory vibe that made this entire fic work so so well. Also, just Will working through his grief for Abigail this way made it that much more intense.

chimera of the chapel by bleakmidwinter

Word Count: 211.5k Summary: When Will Graham wakes up from a coma three months after the fall, Jack reveals that Hannibal Lecter didn't survive. Outside the realm of Hannibal's influence, Will decides to discover the full truth behind the world's sudden and seeming falsehood. Everybody seems to hold their own opinion on Hannibal's fate, but Will knows better than anyone that trust and honesty are as elusive as death.

The "presumed dead" trope might just be my new obsession. I adored this fic so much, the plot was incredible, the development of their relationship was spot on, and there were just some very tender moments.

wear my silence like a mask by bleakmidwinter

Word Count: 32.k Summary: After running into Hannibal at a Bass Pro Shop, Will is invited to a Masquerade Ball at his estate. Jack encourages him to attend for an opportunity to catch the Ripper. Extenuating circumstances tempt Will down an even graver path; Romance with the Ripper.

Three words: masked anonymous sex. That's all.

The Voices and the Shadows by darlinghogwarts, MaddyHughes

Word Count: 114.6k Summary: “The Chesapeake Ripper? The serial killer? That's a grisly thing to find at the bottom of a drink. Most people say oblivion ...or possibly sex.” Hannibal sips his wine again. “Why are you thinking about a murderer on your birthday, Will? Is it part of your degree?” “He is a part of my degree by my own choice. My supervisor didn’t approve, but…” He sighs. “I insisted.” AU where Will—a Masters student studying the Chesapeake Ripper—gets drunk on his birthday and meets an intriguing man at the bar.

Man, I wish I had had Hannibal as my thesis supervisor in grad school, hot damn. (Mine was pretty much too busy to help with anything, ended up doing it all myself – would not recommend.) This was was damn near perfect. I needed some good old fashioned angst. With a good and fluffy ending. This was a good AU!

Chasing Thoroughbreds by HigherMagic

Word Count: 42.8k Summary: After the fall, Chiyoh rescues Will and Hannibal and takes them to the Lecter home in Lithuania. When Hannibal wakes up, his memories of everything - Will, being the Ripper, everything since Mischa's death - are gone. Will's only problem with that is that killing Hannibal won't be nearly as satisfying if he doesn't understand why. Wrestling with his own feelings, or what's left in the tattered mess of them after the fight with Dolarhyde, Will stays, hoping that Hannibal will recover and give him the opportunity he's waiting for. But there are others who remember what Hannibal did, all those years ago, and they have their own bone to pick.

Ugh pretty sure I love almost everything HigherMagic writes and this did not disappoint. This was fantastic. I was absolutely captivated by Will's development through this and Hannibal was just as good.

Volto Larva by TreacleA

Word Count: 39k Summary: Will is having trouble unwinding after work. Hannibal helpfully suggests somewhere that may assist with that, with absolutely no ulterior motive whatsoever.

So ummmm I'm still blushing (in the best way) over parts of this fic because FUCK this is scorching. Anyway. That's all I've got to say LOL.

“She was EVERYWHERE BUT HOME” that reminds me of my friend from high school so much 😭 She was always out doing the most random stuff instead of going home, I’m not her mom but shit she had me stressed

I don’t go out a lot, but one time I went out with her during a weekend AND I WAS SO POOPED. She had so much energy, we were going around walking miles, going stores and cafes, exploring random areas & I WAS TIREDDDD 😩 and we did that UNTIL TWO AM I was exhausted and my parents nearly killed me 😭

Every time she goes out, she always comes home late and I know this because we would be texting sometimes

So now I have to ask….. is Percy the type to stay out at very late hours 💀

she tries her best not to 😭

sally's sooo happy that her daughter's got so many friends and she's got somewhat of a normal life, so she doesn't mind that percy's always out and about! she encourages it because she knows that percy's still responsible and she always does her chores on time too, her only rule would be to at least come home before midnight and percy.... well she really tries her best!!!!

but sometimes a monster just happens, or she loses track of time, or she's just too far to get home on time 💀💀 if she's too far and it's already super late, then she might just crash at a friends place and lmao the yanderes would HATE THAT 💀💀💀💀

they're too old, they're like ancient boomers, so the thought of crashing at a friends place is so wild to them 😂😂😂 ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A MALE FRIEND TOO LMAOOOOO THEY'D LOSE THEIR SHIT

Do the Sir Slithers ever get, like, a "turn" being the main pilots of poor gooped-up Kanako, or is it a more constant "Kanako is now herself and Slithers at the same time all the time but the Kanako personality is just more pronounced"?

Very intrigued by the dynamics of this, I imagine she probably surprises her mom every now and then with something that would've been very out of character for her pre-amalgamation

("How much of what I just said/did is the trauma talking and how much is the literal other people who soul-merged with me talking?")

kanako/sir slithers masterpost :]

the way it works is very much everyone gets their own personality, it just happens that bc kanako’s soul is more powerful, she got the body. so she can move the arms and legs, but the snake bodies/her hair she can’t, because theyre sill their own people. IF the sir slithers worked together, they might be able to take over the main body, but bc theyre all too busy fighting each other to be the main character nothing ever comes of it. kanako is always the strongest among them all.

and thats EXACTLY what i was thinking!! obviously, kanako is not the same monster she was before she fell down, but its hard for everyone (including kanako) to pick apart if her ooc moments are just because of trauma or because she’s fused with a bunch of other people with their own personalities. while the snakes can talk on their own, sometimes if emotions are high enough they can kinda,, fuse personalities a little. basically combine to one mind/one goal.

oh yeah, absolutely. she hung around them bc they were kids like her, and their mom was with them and watched over them. unfortunately they got too close and fused. but it was also bc they were familiar; they came from the same place, and they reminded each other of home. she missed the dunes and dina and her mom, and the family reminded her of that. so they stuck together in a shitty awful place

and she doesn’t ever have to go anywhere; the entire family is on her back. their dad isn’t in the picture, so its just a mom and her 6 kids. just like real snakes lmao

yeah!! they need to talk and get socialization in too. they enjoy talking to each other. theyre like friends attached to her all the time so they get up to some scams fun!

#asked and answered #monster clover au #kanako ketsukane #sure they would like to be their own people again and not be stuck together but. what can u do #most of the time theyre chilling but sometimes they just get upset and pissy (AS THEY SHOULD)#and it causes all sorts of issues for kanako as well #like. no privacy. the snakes cant do things like make friends. its a shitty situation for everyone #but they made boundaries and rules a long time ago in the lab lmao #the kids still have homework dont worry. they can help each other #mcau doodle #mcau lore

a reminder.

I don't know if anyone will see this; but.. I'm writing it either way. This is a safe space..

I don't know why I live, but I do know.. that I just do. I don't know how to explain it really; I have a lot of thoughts but.. I just live.

Sometimes, you don't need to find a reason to live, you just kind of have to go with it and live. Maybe you'll find your reason on the way here, and maybe you won't. But either way, you'll live, won't you? I mean, take you right now as an example. You're still here after all these years, maybe with a purpose, maybe not, but either way, after all these shortcomings, wounds, happinesses, rock bottoms, sky highs.. You are STILL here. And I am so, so proud.

And sure, the phrase ''maybe you won't find your purpose'' sounds depressing, I know.. but I don't mean it like THAT. What I mean is; sure, you won't find a purpose, but you WILL find these small sparks of hope.

You'll maybe find yourself enjoying the soft, rainy weather with a light breeze on a peaceful day where you are drinking coffee and find some light, even if so dearly small, even if for just one nanosecond.. you will feel it.

You'll find yourself getting all giddied-up one day where someone's eager to hear your thoughts online about the new tv series you just watched, and doesn't mind hearing you ramble on and on about it. You'll feel something.

You'll feel yourself maybe getting some hope by watching a scene from a movie where there's a metaphor of the character running away from a monster, aka running from despair and finding hope again. Battling their problems. Or by reading a youtube comment somewhere telling you something meaningful.

You'll maybe lift yourself up one day, and feel happiness and go on to share it with others, and feel delight.

You're still here after all this time. You're still here after all. You're still here. You're still here. You're still here.

You haven't let the worries in your mind totally consume you. You haven't let the depression totally consume you yet. You've been battling, and you've been so strong. Even if the last time you motivated yourself to keep going was 2 weeks ago, 2 months ago, 2 years ago.. It still means all the same; you had hope. You found light. You found peace in moments of violence. You found light in the darkness. You found water in the desert. Heck, this might be a silly one, but.. you found the right snack shop in between all the clothing stores at the mall, lmao. And even if you didn't, the fact you tried? Even THAT says a lot, a lot more then you think.

But you found it; and you can find it again. Don't let it consume you now after all these years. You've fought it off those times; you can fight it again. It's only in your mind; but you? You're HERE. With yourself. With us. With everyone. With the entire, entire universe. Physically, mentally, emotionally.. and you are strong, valid, and beautiful/handsome/whatever you wanna be called.

You have to keep going. And I don't feel you can keep going. I don't think you can keep going. I KNOW you can.

It can't come to our world, I promise. It only exists in the mind.

Just.. live.

I have so much more I want to say, but.. I don't know how to express it. But, this comment is already big enough, and I hope it helped someone at least, and even if it didn't, that's ok too cause I said what I wanted to say.

Remember, say it with me..

I'm beautiful/handsome. I'm human, and it's okay to fail. I'm valid. I'm going to be okay. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to be myself, or try to find myself. I'm still here. I'm still here. I'm still here.

It's okay to not always feel hopeful and happy though; you can be sad, you can be angry, you can be scared, it's okay, you're okay, you are valid. Remind yourself that. But don't stay in those states for far too long either. Don't avoid them, but don't cling onto them as if they're your lifeline.

Please my babies, remember to take care of yourselves. Drink a bunch of glasses of water [preferably 8 - 10 or more], eat well and healthy but it's okay to give in to your cravings sometimes, take care of yourself by even just washing your face and going to the bathroom, appreciate yourself, take care of yourself, let go of expectations, focus on yourself, but most importantly, let go of perfection. And if you can't do all these things, that's okay too, but atleast try to try. Even if you've just gotten out of bed today where other days you can't? I'm so proud. Even if you've remembered to eat today? I'm so proud of you. Even if you've told yourself just one positive affirmation today? I'm so, so proud of you. I mean it.

You're not alone in this, we are all together and we will fight through it together.

''The one who travels and traverses the FASTEST is the one who goes solo, but the one who travels and traverses the FURTHEST is the one, and ARE the ones who go together.''

I didn't know you love asks about monster Nik, and now I'm wondering about your giant dog monster Nik and if you could tell me anything and everything about him. XD If you want, no pressure. <3

In general, I hc Vampire!Nik to be at least 150 years old. Old enough to be a threat, but still young enough that even he still struggles with his vampiric side.

That being said, I DO think that Nik's monster form only really manifests when he's lost control of himself. In general, Nik typically has a rather tight leash on his emotions, but he's not perfect and even he's prone to outbursts when he's pushed to the brink.

he's not a mindless rapid animal, and he does retain some of his cognitive abilities when he's fully transformed BUT it's limited and he's more prone to succumbing to his more,,,primal emotions.

I like to hc that his gigantic ba form is blind! His sense of smell is absolutely insane tho, and he could probably hunt someone (coughjohnpricecough) from miles away purely off of their scent.

BIG. I described him in a previous ask, but Nik as a gigantic bat is seriously an absolute unit of a beast. can easily wipe out a base by himself if he's pissed

Can purr because I said so and is LOUD about it

Unlike Nik in his 'normal' form, this form prefers to eat meat. And no I'm not referring to animals 🤭 (cut to Gaz looking vaguely sick as he watches him devour three men whole LMAO)

Nik can't exactly "flip" between forms easily as it takes a lot of energy to return to either form. In addition, he usually transforms due to a high emotional state, so it's easier for him to calm himself down enough by curling up in a large dark area, curling up in a big ball, and taking a nap. This is usually when Price moves his desk to where Nik is so he can do paperwork.

Cannot speak in this form. Makes a lot of noises that reminds Price of an overgrown dog minus the barking.

CAN FLY, BUT CANNOT KEEP HIMSELF IN THE AIR FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

#nikolai cod #nikprice #john price #cod #me #sorry this isn't as detailed as I had hoped but these were the first things I could think of #it's just such a fun concept to explore #i love monster aus so so so so so much so ty for the ask!!#Thinking about young nikolai being 'killed" by some old soviet serial killer who accidentally turned him into a vampire

2 for Lucien

5 for Elain

26 for Eris

Thank you☀️

For this character ask game

2. Favorite canon thing about Lucien?

He is everything I love in a fictional (or irl) man. I swear to god, every single one of my favorite fictional men is a rake with almost all of these traits: red hair; fire powers; a scarred eye; have unwillingly left or have been banished from their homes; has an old or dead lover they miss; is very clever and compared to a fox; is very confident and careless on the outside but has tons of hidden trauma and pain. He's just so so perfect.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about Elain?

Phantom by Of Monsters and Men! These lyrics are a little too perfect for ACOWAR Elain. THE STAIRS SCENEEEE

26. What's something Eris has done you can't get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever?

I did this one in another ask but I'll copy and paste my answer here too!

Probably his whole past with Mor and why he left her on the border, and also his whole past in general. But specifically about his betrothal with Mor: I totally think Mor reminded Eris of his own mother, which is weird to say but Mor was in a very similar situation as LoA was with this betrothal.

Autumn and the Court of Nightmares are similar; misogyny is super prominent in both of these courts. Females are suppressed, their virginity is sold; they are abused. Mor and the LoA are both huge examples of this. They are two females with power who were sold to males: LoA comes from a very strong bloodline of fire wielders, and Mor has…whatever her powers are.

And I’m not using this to compare Eris to Beron, but Eris knows how females are treated in Autumn, he sees it all the time with his mother. Mor would be brought into the same court and High Family that abuses and suppresses Eris’ own mother. So that in my opinion is probably one of Eris’ motives for refusing to take her in and instead leaving her there on the border. She was one female that he could protect from Autumn and Beron.

This is actually something that Eris hints at here in ACOSF:

Chapter 14 of ACOSF: “I told you years ago what I wanted, High Lord,” Eris said.“To seize his father’s throne. “Why?” Cassian asked.Eris grasped what he meant apparently, because flame sizzled in his eyes. “For the same reasons I left Morrigan untouched at the border.”“You left her there to suffer and die,” Cassian spat.Eris sneered. “Did I? Perhaps you should ask Morrigan whether or not that is true. I think she finally knows the answer.”

Cassian is like, “Why do you want Autumn’s throne?” Eris answers, “Because the male currently sitting on that throne sucks and abuses females including my mother.”

And this quote actually illustrates something I find frustrating. Mor wanted to cancel the betrothal so she slept with Cassian to do so. And Eris understood that. When she was dumped at the Autumn border, he was like okay, I understand what you did. You slept with Cassian because you don’t want to be in Autumn. I got you. I won’t touch you, because then you’ll be my problem, aka Beron’s problem. And that makes sense.

And the IC is almost mad at him for that and it’s so jarring to me. Because Mor is like I don’t want to be in Autumn, Eris is like cool, then I’ll leave you here and I won’t bring you into Autumn, and the IC is like “You left her there. How dare you!”

I am a huge Eris defender, as you can tell lmao. I love him.

look at what my mom sent me for my birthday 😭😭😭(i was a huge monster high nerd when i was a kid) did not expect her to remember that torelai was my favourite but she did. i do not care if you think it's cringe!!! while accepting gifts is incredibly difficult for me i am very happy about this let me be whimsical....

i suppose now that i'm another year older i can officially say that this year has been an absolute shitshow. probably not too surprising to hear for people who've been following me for a while but i've failed on so many different unique levels that it's honestly quite impressive. creating, academics, social life, even my health got a lot worse as a result--i even lost 35 pounds in the last 3 months out of stress and a liquid diet i had to be on because my throat infection made eating anything solid feel like swallowing razor blades lol. but i also came up with my favourite creative project ever. i guess it's incredibly weird to say that about gortash (and zeke) but that character and story truly was and is one of the few things that helped/still helps me cope with a lot of bullshit. on at least like 250 of those 366 days the highlight of my day was gortash related, and yes, that is just as pathetic as it sounds you don't need to remind me lmao

anyways what i was trying to say is that i don't think there will ever be a future birthday during which i won't be incredibly alone and isolated from people, but i hope that i will at least be able to wish myself a happy birthday and mean it. this year's another dud but we'll see, maybe next year haha

#personal ramble time over. i will now play with my doll as a grown adult #she has two outfits!!!!

UNCHAINED SANGUINEOUS HEARTMAKER {Guilty Gear}

Riding the high of a resounding Epiphany.

...Did I pull another "Desdinova" purely out of sheer A.B.A hopium? (I kept the lines sketchy, though, because I could not be arsed to try and mimic Strive's linework style again after the pain from last time ahjsdgajhsdgadk)

Yes. Yes I did.

So, those Season 3 character survey results, huh? The A.B.A hopium is real. I really do wonder what they'd do with her if she was brought to Strive, so I decided to try my hand at a "Strive-ified" A.B.A design.

Make sure to check under the cut for the "concept art" I made + their associated information.

So, design background info:

So, she's a... weirdo homunculus, right? An artificial human, created by a mad scientist she never met, so she was alone and never really learned how to... "people". That key in her head also keeps on reminding me of the bolts lodged in the sides of pop-culture-ified Adam's (Frankenstein's monster) head. She's also desperately trying to find a human(oid) body for the demon/magical foci Paracelsus/Flament Nagel, who she is deeply in love with. Artificially-created human, medical themes, artificial human form, deeply in love...

So what if she decided that, with her attempts at finding a body for him repeatedly failing (XX endings don't count, XX's canonicity is completely FUCKED lmao), why doesn't she just... create one herself instead?

In other words, the creation becomes the creator. Lil' bit of "Bride of Frankenstein" thrown in, if the guy making the bride (or in this case, groom) was the monster itself.

So, making her into a key-axe-wielding mad scientist homunculus.

I tried to make her pose reminiscent of a dance move, specifically a "dip".

I hope you like it!

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 01

The first drawing I got done of my design for A.B.A (featuring a base-shapes Paracelsus for scale). Featuring her color palette (F1 is base flesh, F2 is scarring, H is hair, B is bandages, C1 is primary coat color, C2 is secondary coat color, C3 is tertiary coat color, E is "edges", M1 is one of the metal colors, A is "accents", M2 is the second metal color, and the square below that is the eye colors), weird ragged patchwork "lab-coat", boot details, "branding", and some of the text on her design.

- The phrase printed along the front edge of her coat (and the heels of her boots) is "LOCK&SEE" (the "&" stylized to look like/replaced with a keyhole symbol), a spin on the phrase "Lock and Key", fitting with her obsession with keys and tendency towards twisting sayings/phrases into mondegreens. Also implies hiding something.

- The brand on the back of her coat is meant to look like the coffin shape on the back of Paracelsus's head during Moroha Mode, with the nose hole and right eye hole visible. Text above it reads "PARACELSUS" (with the P and R stylized to have curved horns in the back like MM Para), and the text underneath reads "FLAMENT NAGEL" (with similar "horn" stylization on the F).

- The scarring is damage from her not wearing proper protective gear during her experiments (because she doesn't seem like one to wear proper PPE lmao), much of it taking up most of the left side of her upper torso/arm (meant to mirror Strive Faust's stitching).

- She's both grimy and very... "DIY", so her stitching is very hodgepodge.

- The text along the stitching on the back of her coat reads "The More The Moodier.", a play on one of her mondegreen win-quotes in XX (against I-No: "People say "the more the gloomier", but she's just too much to take...") but with the same alliteration as "the more the merrier" which it was derived from.

- The brand on the right side of her shorts is the same as on her back, but without the "FLAMENT NAGEL" and with "PARACELSUS" underneath instead of above.

- The key markings (gloves, boots) all have the same key-blade shape as Paracelsus.

- I had some trouble figuring out some of her colors, as they differed between the sprites (blue metal, glove. and trim) and official artwork (dark brown metal + glove, blue trim), so I decided to have dark brown for the keys and dark blue for the studded trim and left glove.

- The laces of her boots and the buttons on her coat are meant to resemble Para's mouth stitches

- Made her head-key/neck keys have a little skull decoration similar to some of her XX art (it's very inconsistent).

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 02

The second "Strive-ified" A.B.A design sheet I made.

- Both of the large gloves look the same, with the red bands and Paracelsus-blade key markings.

- The dark blue left-hand glove is (mostly) the same. I like to think that it's her "woobie", what with her tendency to get attached to inanimate objects.

- The dark blue cropped tank-top is meant to only be visible in Moroha. The text reads "MOCK&KEY" (the "&" stylized to look like/replaced with a stylized keyhole symbol, the top part of the keyhole meant to look like a coffin), another spin on "Lock and Key" like the previously-mentioned "LOCK&SEE" compounded with her believing herself to be superior to humans. Moroha is what was locked-up.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 03

Third sheet I made.

- Noting specific design changes during Moroha. Coat opens + key "eyes" gain red glow.

- Design for her head + neck keys.

- Design for her bloodpacks. Text reads "FRASCO". Symbol underneath meant to look like a "flask" shape made out of an upside-down keyhole.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 04 (Para)

The fourth sheet I made, featuring Paracelsus and his colors.

I honestly didn't change much lmao. His design is already weird by GG standards, mostly just tweaked some things.

- Made his eyes asymmetrical. Right has small iris and no pupil, left has beady pupil. Wanted to make him look "cartoony (western) neurotic/nervous" while hinting at his "main" glowy eye in Moroha being his right eye.

- I blurred/smudged the blood along the bottom edge to imply that A.B.A dragging him around wore away some of it.

- I added some spikes to his collar for a "punk" look, which glow red in Moroha.

- I kept his mouth stitches in Moroha. The mouth-corner stitches remain, while the middle stitches are tied around his left horn.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 05

The final sheet I made, featuring mechanic ideas, "meta" stuff, and a design for repurposing an older move into a reversal super.

- Non-replenishable resources don't really fly in Strive, so I decided to make them replenishable through an alternate version of Bonding (a.k.a Keygrab). One Keygrab variant for Moroha, one Keygrab variant for a bloodpack. Starts off with no bloodpacks. Max three bloodpacks at a time. Functionality basically the same as XX.

- Turned Altercation (i.e. Enter Goku Moroha) into a Moroha-exclusive reversal super. Goku Moroha is not something that flies by modern fighting game characters, let alone Strive, so GM would definitely get axed. Still keeping Altercation as an absolute weirdo of a move, taking different resources depending on how much she has of each.

- Not sure what to actually do with Moroha's function/moveset, but having an "Install" state is the big thing that defines A.B.A's playstyle, so she'd probably keep at least base Moroha.

- Evidence: Concealment becomes a full reversal that only hits one hit as opposed to three, because most people cancel it after the first hit anyway lmao

EPISODE 2

preview

ep 1

I low-key forgot Adu Du stole the armor during Windara’s arc lol.

By the way, I didn’t get with insects that resembled his armor. Judging from its eyes…

... A gecko?

Update: holy shit, I forgot this character exist!! Now it's pretty close! Thanks @nerialter !!😆😆

(hot take: I love the og design more than the reboot ver. It's one of my favorite monsters from og Ben 10 afterall)

Oh yeah, I must mention his armor here. It reminds me of some unit from Evangelion.

Alright!

After I watched the ep and read the comic back and forth. Gentar’s arc might be the first who is closely accurate on one another. No cramped multiple issues within one episode like Sori or drastic changes like Windara.

Sure there's still some differences here and there. But to me, both are equivalent to each other. As in the tv compliment what the book doesn't have and vice versa.

In this episode, the main star of the show is the return of the 'BuBaDiBaKo' team. Kinda didn't expect they would come back this early! The comic ver was only mentioned at the end of the arc!

For those of you who don't know, this team debuted in the original Boboiboy season 3. It consist of, you guessed it: Boboiboy, Gopal, and Adu Du.

youtube

English dub ver 👇

youtube

The name itself was an abbreviation for “Budi baik dibalas Koko” which translates to:

For context, this team was made because Adu Du felt a bit stressed to revive Probe who tragically died in the early season. He desperately needed cocoa for extra help. Therefore, he forcedly attempted to hijack Tok Aba's shop publicly (keyword: tried).

As always, he failed miserably. But unlike previous times in the good old villain trope—“I'll be back for revenge!”—Kinda thing, this time he got a chance to redeemed himself by Tok Aba and Boboiboy in exchange for cocoa. That's why he abruptly changed his appearance in order to succeed at that. He even went to school and blended with society to do good deeds. With the help of Gopal and Oboi, thus the operation 'BuBaDiBaKo' was born that day.

Of course, it's just a temporary tho where the team only lasted for two episodes. Once Probe was revived, Adu Du was back to his usual self and everything went to their normal shenanigans like nothing happened. :D

And same as the previous ep, the rest of the story followed the same pattern. Not directly toe to toe between the book and the screen ‘till the end, like there's an extra scene from tv ver where the enemy easily detected the gang due to…Gentar's high impudence with his 'Thor's Stormbreaker' hammer lmao.

(I don't know the name of the weapon so let's just assumed it's Thor's)

It's kinda debatable about his attitude within fandom. On one side people were annoyed by his unusual clumsiness, on the other side people were frantic about his wild trait and sometimes referring him to his dad aka Mechamato especially since season 3 came out before Gentar's.

Me? I'm at the fence. As I said before in the preview post, fusion characters aren't my favorites and I already tell my reason why. But I'm not gonna be so critical about them when I myself also like their designs and appearances(Supra my beloved 😍).

Regardless, the next ep gonna dive into Gentar's downed scene after Ochobot gets kidnapped. I'm interested in what Monsta does to tweak his redemption arc.

That's all for ep 2, onto ep 3!

ALSO--

How the heck it got 8 notes??? Has this happened to you guys too or just me??

#Youtube #boboiboy #boboiboy galaxy #bbbglxs2 #boboiboy gentar #I'M A BIT CONFUSED BUT THANKYOU!! XD #i finally got to write in peace with this new changes #can't promise when the rest of my impressions with ep 3 & 4 shows up #but I hope i will upload all of them before ramadhan start.

PLL 2x19 Review - As Per Anon Request

Hanna is seriously way too calm for being framed for sending naked pictures of her step sister to the entire school.

Which Kate probably did herself but whatever.

Spencer is me every time Emily opens her mouth

"I'M NOT SCARED." Why is Emily even here honestly.

"Rosewood High has a zero tolerance policy for bullying" would she not be expelled?

LMAO they're given group work? Hanna doesn't even get suspended? I would be furious as Kate's mom. Sue the school! Sue the school! Like her daughter is a monster but she doesn't have all the facts sooooo sue the school!

Hair is back.

Hair's hair is quasi-hairing with his little fuck boy swoop.

Still looking confused as ever.

Hanna's mom is absentee for real though because like Hanna starts the show shop lifting, she crashes her ex boyfriend's car, she hides a boy in the house, she tries to ruin her father's wedding, she's caught with an apparent murder weapon, she says she's been framed and she's been hit by a car, like would you not be like my child is in CRISIS? and her just being like oh, yeah, you can tell me who you think sent this picture from your phone is such a muted response and her just walking away when Hanna won't say anything?

Honestly, one thing I really do love about T70S is how much Red and Kitty are a part of the kids' lives. Even The OC, at least season 1, was fairly decent at this, and the kids still got up to their shenanigans but Sandy and Kirsten weren't complete idiots.

At least Jenna isn't in black today.

OK but what is Shay's deal actually though. Like if she's not doing the Emily face it's like she's trying to do a smirky-sassy face, which makes sense why she found her calling as Peach because that's all she does.

"But now you make one mistake and you're tarnished." I mean, you were caught with a murder weapon, Emily. Nobody else knows what's going on.

Jenna is so not a teenager, it's hilarious.

His hair reminds me of a helmet and curtains at the same time

Aria's cracking me the fuck up because she's acting like she's just a spectator between this Caleb/Jenna thing, like oooh damn, what's the tea?

You know that meme, "it's always 2 dumb bitches telling each other 'exactlyyy'"? That's what I think of every time I see Aria and Emily in a scene alone together. Like, them deciding to call the number back together has me like, by yourselves? Did Spencer sanction this? Hanna? Are you qualified to do this?

Because now look. You don't know what to say and you just let that person hang up on you.

Caleb casually saying he lived in a sewer. I mean, it could be a joke but I do think he actually literally lived in the school vents now, so you know, it might not be hyperbole.

See, like, if you two are on the roof, sitting next to each other, and Caleb is supposed to be comforting her or trying to comfort her

and her being like "just hold me OK? that will help me" doesn't make this better, he should JUST be doing it and if the point is that how he shows his protectiveness is by wanting to DO something so he wants her phone, he still needs the Stefan stare, like PLEASE let me help you

give me that Brucas comfort

Granted, the principal taking a bribe from a parent whose kid was caught tagging is hypocritical but also, he wasn't accused of murder, lmao.

"Honey, you can't be a shark if you're toothless." Lmao, I know that because it's the show, Mona getting involved in the A shit wouldn't matter but seriously, she would get results.

Melissa and Hair making out is lmao considering they're half-siblings. So we do have some actual incest on this show.

L M A O. "My parents are illiterate"??? WHY would the show put this as one of the confessions?? Like, "I'm afraid of my dad" "I've never been kissed" "I'm still a virgin" "I know who killed Alison" fine, that all seems to mesh together, but My parents are illiterate is just SO random in this context?

"Maybe someone threw him out with the rest of the garbage" not even trash?

I swear to god if Caleb is thrown off the roof and Aria remains unthreatened....

Nah, Caleb's just chillin in a classroom.

So is Aria going to be thrown from the roof?

Oh my god, Spencer, spit it out.

Or is Aria just going to be stuck on the roof.

Or is the shadow just Holden.

Christmas and Holden. Wow, this girl's life is really never in danger.

Mona blackmailed a whole ass principal for her and Emily doesn't even say thank you.

"Hey, do you know where my mom is?" Would he even know who your mom is, Spencer.

Hear me out… “can we go home?” Prompt as a part 2 to “did I do good?”

this got long and i applied to jobs and had an identity crisis in the middle of writing it, hope u enjoy LMAO

TW: discussions of the explosion from "did I do good?" and medical talk wheeeee

You were growing tired of the hospital.

The pain meds warded off the sharp bite of pain everytime you moved, but they also kept your head in a continual fuzzy state. Sleep released its hold on you for only an hour or so before another dose of medicine sent you back under the veil of dreams.

Whenever you were awake, you found one or more of your children propped up in a chair in the corner of the room. Dick would be furiously jabbing his knitting needles into the air as a new project materialized between his fingers. Cass joined him occasionally, but sometimes she scooted her chair closer to your side, her slim fingers encased around yours, and watched whatever show played on the television. You were partial to Animal Planet so that meant she sat through hours of shark week and River Monsters.

Jason read, of course, sometimes silently and sometimes, when it was just him and you, he read aloud. His soft baritone voice was a comfort over the occasional beeps and shrieks of alarms out in the hall. Tim made sure to come by at the same time everyday so the two of you could watch Jeopardy and then Real Housewives. Although you were usually high off your ass because of the pain meds, you made sure to let him know what a fucking liar Erika Jayne was.

Stephanie, your little demonic angel, propped herself up in the chair next to your bed and played Sims, the sound of her laptop a steady thrum that helped put you to sleep. Your own personal white noise machine. Damian drew in his sketchbook, quiet as always, but he made sure to bring it to you during your moments of lucidity so you could see his art. Duke, however, was the hardest to pry away from your bedside. You understood his hesitation at leaving another parent at a medical center. So you didn’t say anything if you woke up to find him seated next to you, one of your hands in his, as he muddled over another crossword puzzle.

Alfred came by numerous times everyday. He brought treats for the nurses, creature comforts from home for you, and made sure that the children didn’t stay too long. You insisted that they lived their lives outside of the hospital, even their night jobs. Alfred checked over what foods you were receiving from the dining services, humming and marking down nutritional values and if you were getting enough calories. He always plied you with cookies every time he visited and ensured you were eating enough protein to help your wound heal faster. The vase of golden sunflowers next to your bed were always fresh and replenished so you suspected Alfred ensured that they were always replaced when they started to wilt.

But one person didn’t show.

You tried to not dwell on the fact that Bruce never once made an appearance. Even Clark and Diana had dropped by with flowers and well wishes. But your husband remained his usual disappearing act. You didn’t understand why and frankly, you didn’t care. For years you tried to remind Bruce that he wasn’t always Batman. He was a father and husband and friend, both inside and outside of the suit, yet it felt like as time went further, he forgot more of who he was.

It was fine. You had Alfred and your kids. Their love made you wish you could wrap your arms around them, but these damn IVs wouldn’t let you. You knew they were just as disappointed in Bruce as you were, but nothing anyone said would change things.

Until you turned on the news one night and saw the headlines that the perpetrators of the explosion at the Wayne Gala had been caught and the entire organization eradicated. The group had been targeting the Wayne family, reporters said, and they blamed you for the unemployment rate and food insecurity in the city. Well, hell, your family had been working to eradicate the wage gap and food deserts for years, but if anyone was to get hurt, you were glad it was you.

Three broken ribs, a punctured liver, internal bleeding, a concussion, and your body one giant bruise meant that your kids were safe. You would place yourself between them and the blast every single time.

The news cameras zoomed in on the bodies that were slumped against the front of the police headquarters. Faces bloodied and raw, the men stared back at the camera with haunted eyes and your breathing hitched just slightly when you recognized the mark carved into one man’s forehead.

A bat.

“Mrs. Wayne?” Geraldine, one of the day shift nurses, called from the door to your room. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” you replied. “I just saw the news.”

The kindly older woman bustled in with one of the new nurses on her heels. The two women had been working three nights a week for the time you had been on the floor and you appreciated their steady, comforting nature. They had both been a little thrown when the Waynes of Gotham showed up on their floor but once you asked Geraldine to treat you like a normal person, she warmed up to you like a grandmother.

“How ya feelin’, sweets?” she asked. Every few hours they checked your vitals and incision spots to ensure that you were healing well and no infection was growing.

“Listen, I love you ladies. But if I have to stay here any longer, I might snap.”

They laughed at your comment and Farah, the fledgling nurse who followed Geraldine like a baby goose after its mama, focused on checking your incisions while Geraldine marked down your vitals.

“You’re so close to being free,” Geraldine promised. “Dr. Huerta will come by later today to check everything and hopefully, you’ll be out in a day or two.”

“Am I the last one to be discharged?” While you were the most seriously injured due to your proximity to the blast, a few people were also brought into Gotham General with varying injuries.

“Yep,” Farah hummed. “They’re all home and Mr. Wayne said he would pay for their bills.”

That made you pause. Farah’s head raised the second the words came out of her mouth and Geraldine turned sharply in her direction. Farah grimaced and sighed. “Sorry, I know he told us not to say anything.”

Your lips parted in shock and you glanced between the two women. “He called the hospital?”

Geraldine sighed and approached your bed. She reached out and clasped your hand between hers and gave you a kind smile.

“He’s been here everyday, sweets. Only leaves at night before he’s back in the morning. He just sits in the waiting room, looking like death warmed over. I keep tellin’ him that he should at least come talk to you, but he refuses unless he knows you’re asleep. Who do you think keeps bringing those flowers?”

“I don’t understand.” Your brow furrowed. “Why the fuck is he here if he won’t even talk to me? Why has no one told me?”

Geraldine pursed her lips and then she patted your hands. “Sometimes, men are stupid.”

That elicited a snort from Farah but Geraldine wasn’t finished. “I think, sweets, that he blames himself and he can’t bring himself to see you when you’re awake because he’s terrified that you’ll hate him.”

You glanced between the two women and narrowed your eyes. “What else has he done?”

They launched into a list of things. Your favorite blanket that you kept in the study at home was draped across your legs because of Bruce, the nurses were now being paid more because of his meeting with the hospital executives (and subsequent buyout of the Gotham General system so that meant more paperwork for you to deal with when you got out), and many other things. Bruce, silent as he was, operated without a word to you because he was so fucking scared that you hated him.

“Is he out there? Right now?” you asked once they trailed off.

“Yeah,” Farah sighed. “The more coffee he drinks from the cafeteria, the more I think we’re going to have to admit him soon for cardiac arrest.”

“Bring my husband in, please. If he fights you on it, tell him to stop being such a fucking coward.”

Geraldine let out a delighted laugh and practically skipped out of the room, clearly excited to give Bruce Wayne a run for his money. Farah waited patiently at your bedside and you were grateful that she didn’t abandon you right now.

Light footsteps grew closer to the door and you heard the soft creak of the hinges until he was standing before you. His hair was shaggy and unkempt and a five o’clock shadow clung to his jaw. Bruce was still in his usual daytime uniform of slacks and a button down, but the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and his entire ensemble was wrinkled.

“Thank you,” you said to the nurses. They vacated the room quickly, leaving you two just staring at each other. Bruce cleared his throat and glanced towards the door as if he was preparing to leave, but you pointed your finger at him and he froze midstep.

“Sit your ass down, Wayne,” you ordered. He started towards the chairs in the corner but you let out a disapproving noise and he turned to where you were pointing. Bruce sighed and trudged over to the hospital bed you were lying in. His eyes searched your face for any sign of anger or discomfort as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

“Bruce Thomas Wayne,” you began. “You stupid man.”

Your hand curled around his and you brought it to your lips, brushing a kiss against his palm. He sucked in a tight breath and you enclosed his fingers around your love.

“I’m not mad at you, if that’s what you think.”

“I should have stopped them sooner. I should have never let this happen to you. I-”

You smoothed a hand down his forearm. “You didn’t let anything happen to me. It happened because people wanted to hurt me. You can’t stop them from their thoughts or their anger, Bruce. You can’t change the way people feel. You can only do as much as you can and you and I both know that.”

He shut his eyes and sighed. Bags cradled his eyes, shadowing the bright blue pupils you woke up to every morning. The lines on his face deepened and he looked as if he aged ten years since you last saw him.

“How can you stand to be near me?” he croaked out. You reached up and tucked some of his dark hair out of his face before cradling his jaw.

“Because I like because, Bruce, and I love despite. I love you despite how many times you make me want to tear my hair out. I love you despite your self-flagellation tendencies. I love you despite the fact that there is something deeply psychologically wrong with you.” He chuckled at your teasing remark and leaned into your touch.

“I’m sorry,” he breathed against the soft skin of your wrist.

“I know you are,” you assured him. “But you’re still going to grovel so damn much.”

“Whatever you wish for, you will get.”

You considered his words for a moment and hummed to yourself. “You have to take Damian to the art museum and cannot look at your phone once.”

“Easy.” He ghosted his lips against your wrist and you shivered at the soft touch.

“Okay. How about letting Stephanie drive the car next time?”

He grimaced, obviously knowing you meant the Batmobile and thinking about the blonde’s tendency to take wide turns. “Fine.” He kissed your brow, right over some stitches as if he could heal them with just a tender touch.

“You have to shake hands with Hal Jordan and tell him he’s doing a good job.”

“You’re a fucking menace.” Bruce dipped his head down to kiss you sweetly, but you were grinning too much to let it last.

“Can we go home now?” you whispered against his lips. “I just want to be in bed with you. I’m sick of the food here.”

He cradled your head against his chin and sighed, his breath washing across your skin. Bruce was so careful with you as to not aggravate any of your injuries. For as idiotic as he could be in the emotions department, he knew exactly what to do to comfort you physically.

“Soon, my love. And I will wait on you hand and foot. I’ll never let anything happen to you again. Ever. I swear.”

“I know.” But you didn’t take his promise to heart. Not in your line of work. He could guarantee that the sun would rise in the morning and set in the evening, but no one could promise that the scythe of death wouldn’t come calling any minute.

But you would let him hold you and make promises. It would make him feel better and that, in and of itself, was a gift.
