you are allowed to throw away books. you can put paperbacks in the recycling. no one will arrest you. giving your cigarette ash covered james patterson collection to me is just throwing them away with extra steps. no one will judge you i promise. not every book is a prize to be treasured.

This 1250 church in Rishangles, Suffolk, UK is one of the most beautiful I've seen. (However, I wouldn't want to drive down this road and walk past the cemetery in the night.) 4bds. £750K / $941,099.25
Tumblr media
According to the floorplan, the glass structure alongside the tower is a staircase, but I don't see any stairs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These walls are the original ancient architecture.
Tumblr media
The ancient church was restored in the Victorian era, and this beautiful wood work looks Victorian.
Tumblr media
Isn't this a lovely fireplace with a mezzanine above?
Tumblr media
Here's a view from above.
Tumblr media
The restored window is lovely.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Behind this chair, in the corner, there's a very narrow stairway.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isn't the kitchen cute? I love the shape of the cabinets and that's an AGA stove, too.
Tumblr media
This is such a wonderfully vintage kitchen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nice church door.
Tumblr media
This looks like a bedroom and whomever took the photos didn't do such a great job.
Tumblr media
There's a different railing up here.
Tumblr media
This bedroom has steps to a tub that's actually set into the stairs.
Tumblr media
This bath looks like it has a Japanese soak tub.
Tumblr media
These photos are terrible.
Tumblr media
I don't even know if these are the same stairs.
Tumblr media
So, here's another photo of a landing.
Tumblr media
I don't know, this looks like a reflection from the stairs alongside the tower.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alongside the church there's a patio.
Tumblr media
Plus a very nice yard.

WARNING: MAJOR BEETLEBABES SPOILERS
I had fun watching this film. It was great seeing the OGs again, it was funny and it had a good script BUT I have to give this movie 7/10 because the pacing was off for the first half of the film and because of the two unnecessary Babyjuice scenes (We'll get to more of that in a bit.)
It just felt rushed and Beetlejuice and Lydia's scenes were limited. Yes, we knew from the get go that Keaton's scenes would be confined because that's how he wanted it but I just like complaining. lol
Before Lydia and Beetlejuice officially reunite, he starts spamming her phone with the Day O song playing with Beetlejuice's name in bold pops ups coming up nonstop. This happens when Rory is trying to talk about their wedding and Lydia just isn't in the mood to talk about it.
The first Beetlebabes scene is the "therapy scene" and its also the first Babyjuice scene. Lydia's belly grows quickly, her water breaks and out pops out Babyjuice. It starts crawling around and soon starts biting on Lydia's ankle. You do actually see bloody teethmarks on Lydia's ankle to which Beetlejuice says, "Takes after his dad." and he starts drooling exaggeratingly.
I don't remember the exact wording but Lydia called Beetlejuice "Demented." To which Beetlejuice replies with something like "Well, if me wanting to be with the love of my life is demented then fine I'm demented. Come here, honey." Yes, he actually calls her the love of his life!
He tries to do the gliding thing he did with Lydia during the first movie when he says this. Before Lydia is pulled to his side, she yells, "Home! Home! Home!"
That's when Lydia tries to hurry to get everyone out of the house and out of Winter River but Astrid tells her she has a date and somehow convinces Lydia to drive her to the boy's house. So Delia and Lydia board up the attic door and decide no one goes in and that they'll leave that same night right after Lydia gets married at midnight.
Now as most of us have heard- Astrid's crush has a secret. That secret is...that he's a ghost. Which, I feel so dumb about not guessing it. I should've figured it out when they showed "The Recently Deceased" book thar he claimed he bought at a "yard sale". The boy (can't remember his name) says Lydia can help him come back to life (not through marriage) and says if she travels with him to the Neitherworld, she'll help her see her dad again.
Lydia soon finds out that the boy (I think his name was Jeremy) was not only someone who killed his parents but is also a ghost (through info from Jane the realtor) so she rushes to rescue Astrid but gets there seconds too late. With no other choice she goes back to the Maitlands home and summons Beetlejuice.
The minute Beetlejuice gets Lydia into the afterlife...they're immediately separated right after the "Bonnie and Clyde line. The excuse? Beetlejuice had to "visit the little boy's room" as a plot device so that Lydia and Astrid could reunite with Astrid's deceased father. He's the one that saves them from the sandworm and helps them make up.
It turns out that Jeremy was gonna swap places with Astrid. She would've gone on the Soul Train that takes you to the "Great Beyond" and he would've resurrected as a living person. This takes place at an immigration office. Beetlejuice has kind of a heroic moment where he switched places with the person behind the glass that gives the "stamp of living approval."
When Jeremy looks at the paper that Beetlejuice gives him, it reads "Shit Out of Luck Fucker". XD This part had everyone howling with laughter. Beetlejuice stamps on the paper and that instantly opens the floor beneath Jeremy and sends him to hell.
Astrid's father helped Lydia and Astrid leave the Neitherworld through a portal in a mausoleum that is conveniantlly across from the church that Lydia is supposed to getting married at. Even though she doesn't really want to marry Rory, she decides to do it anyway. Tells Rory she won't change into her wedding dress- that they should just proceed as they are.
That's when Beetlejuice arrives with Delia, pushes her aside and tells her to "Scram!" lol (Earlier in the film, Delia tried to perform a strange love ritual with a pair of snakes that she was told were defanged. Spoiler: they weren't defanged so she died and got sent to the Waiting Room so since she doesn't want to wait there for ages, she summons Beetlejuice who agrees to help her if he can help her find his "runaway bride".)
Beetlejuice proceeds to drug Rory by stabbing his neck with a syringe and this somehow makes Rory confess whata scumbag he is and how he was just using Lydia for money. Another interesting moment where Beetlejuice is being "helpful" in his own way."
So the next five minutes are just as chaotic as Jenna Ortega described. And remember how we all had speculated that Beetlejuice wouldn't waste time with a song and dance and would try to get through the vows as fast as he could? We were wrong. Beetlejuice apparently thought he had all the time in the world as he starts to lip sync "MacArthur Park" and even had Lydia lip syncing the song to him. His make up got all runny as he wept at his own wedding.
They dance and then Wolf and his SWAT team crash the wedding followed by Delores storming in and Beetlejuice tells her, "It's not you. It's me. I'm just looking for a more soul mate type. You should be with a guy that is more into you."
He magically rips off Rory's shirt to reveal a shirt underneath that says "I Love Delores". Delores is not impressed. And I honestly forgot what happens to Delores but then the Sandworm scene happens and then everything calms down. Lydia, Astrid and Delia try to leave the church but Beetlejuice stops them, reminding Lydia that they have a contract. He pulls out the contract.
But then Astrid remembers something Wolf had mentioned earlier about Beetlejuice violating "Code 669" by bringing a living person to the Neitherword so she states that that means his contract with Lydia is null and void. Beetlejuice's contract proceeds to burst into flame.
Lydia steps forward and says "I'm sorry it didn't work out between us." She says something else that I forgot and proceeds to say his name three times and with each call of his name, Beetlejuice's body inflates more and more until he pops.
Delia promises she'll haunt Lydia and Astrid until they're sick of her. Wolf takes her back to the Neitherworld where Delia reunites with Charles's mangled corpse. It then skips to Lydia announcing the last episode of her show so that she can "start living".
Then it shows Lydia and Astrid traveling together. It looks like they're in Romania/Transylvania where Astrid locks eyes with a cute guy. Then a time skip where Astrid is marrying the guy. Another time skip where Astrid is giving birth. This is where it gets weird. She gives birth to Babyjuice that proceeds to start crawling on the walls. That's when Lydia wakes up, relieved that that was a nightmare when suddenly Beetlejuice leans over her in bed and says, "I just had the strangest dream." Lydia gasps and she wakes up again and slowly looks over to her left to see an empty space and no Beetlejuice.
So I'm guessing that's what that one interviewer guy meant when he told Winona "You sorta got your wish at the end." I guess it means Beetlejuice will always be haunting her and playing the long game of waiting for her. I need to discuss this with someone! What do you think of the spoilers? The ending in particular?

I said I'm not interested in AU but this is what popped into my head… HSR retro AU. No more space technology.
Basically you are a college student 🙈🙈🙈 Depending on whether you are an extrovert or an introvert, you may go shopping and play with your friends during the holidays, have a party, or stay comfortably at home listening to music with MP3 and cassette tapes, or reading novels on the subway.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You use a bulky computer to click on the Windows XP system, and spend hours downloading music and opening chat software. Your MSN friends list is as follows:
Jing Yuan:
Tumblr media
Your mysterious neighbor is much older than you. You have never understood what the Xianzhou Alliance is. It is said that he kept a lion named Mimi in the yard, but every time you passed by, you thought it was just a cute cat. He'll stuff you with sweets and prepare you milk and afternoon tea, giving you advice. Well, he can also write ancient poetry. You shamelessly gave this old man your homework.
(You lie on his lap and sleep, breathing quietly.)
Aventurine & Ratio:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two live together, are also your neighbors, professors, friends... You are not sure what their relationship is, but they quarrel every day. Aventurine is a high-level executive in IPC. Every time you visit a department store, you will whisper in your heart that this is also an IPC. He takes the bill in your mailbox every month and pays it off, very weird. His car is the most talked about in the community.
Ratio is your college professor...he is very strict about grades and academic performance. You cursed him one time and he heard you and he took you back to the office for an OTK spanking...unfortunately, it was legal. You have since become his target in class...
Sunday & Robin:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They still have halos and wings, share the same MSN account, and even the same pager. They have no privacy from each other. They are well-known brothers and sisters of the Xipe Church. They are very popular and eye-catching, attracting people's attention wherever they go. So if you are an introvert, the difference is even more pronounced haha. But both of them will approach you, in the name of kindness, with a look of concern on their face. Robin picks out clothes for you and lends you homework to copy. In return, you agree to go to church on the weekend… and help her sell cookies at the church charity sale.
Sunday provides insight into your life and schedule in the name of "for your own good". You don't know why you wrote your schedule in a notebook for him… He shows up in front of your house and listens to music with you (using the same MP3 player). You share with him a few things you learned in the sex education class, and he says that he has signed the commitment card (you: ? what is this). Promise to remain chaste until marriage… That card has an inexplicable printed pattern, with a photo of a couple holding hands, leaving you speechless. But you don’t know why you signed this commitment card under his supervision…
Dan Heng:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your nerdy college classmate, with dragon horns (don't ask me why). He reminds you of class and exam times and lends you notes, leaving you with the last piece of cake. You always tease him until he blushes and gets angry.
Dan Feng:
Dan Heng's brother. He seems to be very traditional. You haven't seen him much and you only added him as an MSN friend.
Blade:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The mysterious old man. He seems to have a grudge against Dan Feng and Dan Heng. One time you were playing cards with Yanqing and Dan Heng. He suddenly broke into the yard, said something incomprehensible and then started fighting with Dan Feng. This scared you to death. Kafka appeared to stop him. You added Kafka friends to avoid being attacked by Blade.
Tumblr media
Kafka:
The mysterious woman who can control Blade. You don't know who she is, but she seems to know you well and be gentle to you.
Silver Wolf:
Your college classmate has designed several computer games and won many awards at a young age, and occasionally plays cards with you. For some reason, she is very close to Blade and Kafka.

Please, how do I make money fast in dol?? I've always played with cheats on cuz I'm a pussy. I've gotten better from my past no cheats on playthroughs, but still, I still would like to know from the pro, my favorite dol account. Please, tell us your ways🛐
Huh... And here I thought money is the last thing you need to worry about when you've been playing long enough on one save. Alright, I doubt anything I'm gonna say is new, but since you asked so nicely, I'll go into details with my 4 PCs and highlight their most rewarded methods.
In general, early game is always tricky since your stats are low. High Math grade and higher certain stats make things easier.
1. Lya
- She used to be a massage staff at the Spa. High enough beauty (4/6 if I remember right) or hand skill is required to work there, and high dance skill make it fairly safe. Higher promiscuity and skuldugery open chances for lewder things and more money.
- Antique hunting. At the lake. High swimming skill recommended. And down the sewer too. I only intended to grind her skuldugery, but then she started to get attached to Winter so she go hunt antique for him ever since. Then the old church yard too. Still the Ivory necklace is a no.
- Dancing jobs. Charlie's Danube street job and at the brothel. Not the strip club but the brothel. Higher skuldugery can only be grinded while encountering so yeah, she work at the brothel for a pretty long time and install the vending machine there too.
- Be a model at Niki's studio.
- Working at Sirris' adult toy shop and selling flowers at the market sometime.
- Alex farm. Invested in the Farm, make things automatic and safe, then brought things to the Harvest street for sale. It's pretty okay and leisurely too.
- The doting Hawk spouse. Yes. Sometimes she goes to the tower to relax, getting away from the dirty town. When you're with the Hawk you just have to sleep, bath, sing all day, maybe walk around the moor a bit, be pretty and wait for the goodest bord to bring things back to you and sell them to Landry later.
2. Lyah
- Being Avery escort. Yeah help very much in the early game. He still keep her company sometime now.
- Steal things from people. He make the most out of his Devil tf to get into encounter, steal, then tell people to stop. Work like a champ. His skuldugery went up fastest out of all 4 PCs.
- Bartender at Strip Club. He works there for fun and to look out for Darryl, but sometimes encounter happen. So it still counts. Vending machine still installed at the Brothel.
- Chef. The ultimate way to make money. Even without Cow tf he still make a LOT out of it, being devoid of purity and lactating mean he has lots of bodily fluids to spare. Just a few hours of "work" and remember to save some for his wife, and the money is insane.
3. Kariya
- Doing odd jobs in the street. Usually to get into encounters.
- Working at the Agency.
- Seducing someone randomly at the Pub, the Farm, at nights,... You name it.
- Get up early and pick the locks of every house or building before they open for the day.
- Playing cards with Wren. Every-single-day. They often just continue untill the lewd part happen. That's their fav part anw. And running around butt-naked with Wren too.
- Dancing and Private shows at the Brothel. Mostly for fun but their money primarily comes from these activities. Briar's most fav worker for sure.
4. "Nyan"
- Working at the Dog Pound and Sam's Cafe (waiter only)
- Doing odd jobs in the street for Housekeeping skill, sometime pick locks and steal from Danube street.
- Temple monthly allowance. Even at max Grace it's not much, but still better than nothing.
- Charlie's dancing job. Charlie offered the safe job, but Nyan often asked for the more dangerous one. Jordan asked him to investigate anyway.
- Antique hunting in the lake, etc... Nyan is still in the build, so he mostly stick with his older siblings safer choices.
Okay, there, I think that's basically things I can recall for now. Also since all my PCs are Robin protectors, they mainly stick to safer paths and don't go away from the Orphanage for too long unless they can't help it. So huge chance there are many more ways to make bigger bucks that I'm not aware of yet. Still, hope this helps!

look to see you looking back
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
finn mikaelson x reader
the one where you both like each other and don't know what to do about it.
p.s Hey Guys!! Wrote this really quickly. Hope you like it. Send requests and I'll get to them when I can!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He was being appropriate, but you realize this a second too late. Sure, he had bygone knocking on the front door and just…stood now in your bedroom, throwing off the balance of the room as he dwarfed all your little bone-china dolls, but in his defence, you had never intended for any man, let alone him, to come in here.
Plus, you had told him not to knock anymore.
He stood by the window, trying to look everywhere else except your exposed legs.
‘If you want to see me, just come see me. I would like it, Finn.’ You remember saying at some point.
Was it too much? 
Both of you were now in a strange kind of standoff. 
You took another tentative step into your newly furnished bedroom (thank you Mikaelson money). You don’t know what was more surprising, that he took you up on the offer or did so unprompted. 
Was this progress? Did you want it to mean progress? 
You didn’t actually think he’d show up, even when, in your intoxicated state, you had held him tightly by the lapels of his expensive suit and confessed in the Fell’s Church parking lot that you wanted to be his friend. 
You just wanted him to know then. He needed to hear it. 
But it was different now. You had kissed, if only for a second. But it had happened, and you were glad it happened, only that the last three days had been a mess. He hadn’t called or texted (the latter, which didn’t surprise you; you had watched him forget to hit send on text messages countless times), but you had run into Elijah on two separate occasions. In both cases, he brought Finn up. 
This couldn’t be good unless it could be. You didn’t know.
You never seemed to know. Not with this fool.
‘Do you often just break into rooms to stand there?’
‘I was admiring your curious collection of ceramic creatures.’ 
‘They’re horrible. I stole the little rabbit with the sun hat off this lady at a yard sale when I used to live in New Orleans.’ You closed your eyes,’ I think it’s cursed.’
You could hear him take a step but couldn’t be sure in which direction.
‘It’s quite a nice piece, I think I, too, would have cursed you. Had you stolen from me.’
You opened your eyes to look at him. The tension his presence brought was giving you a headache. You felt the skin of your face prickle. 
‘I’m not giving it back.’
He smiled at you,’ I’m not asking you to.’
You pulled your pink tank top up slightly,’ Good.’
He continued to mess with the little ceramic animals you had collected over the years and had all around the room. They all had their backstories, unique, but not their own. You bought one each time you met someone that left an impression on you. The little cat he was examining now you had purchased a day or two after you had met Nadia Petrova for the first time. Her entire life story had made you so sad; you had run into the little kitty Kat and thought immediately of her, with it’s big brown eyes. It had been in one of those upscale china shops in Portland, Oregon. You had named it after her. 
Finn placed it back down by the golden ashtray you had bought in Forks, Washington, on a Native American reserve while you wondered if that girl ever did find what she was looking for. 
‘Tired?’ He asked after a while. 
‘No. Yes. I-’ 
He looked to you, waiting. 
‘Stop it.’ You say, but you don’t know what you mean by it. 
‘I’m not doing anything,’ his accent makes his words sound like he’s joking, but you know him well enough now to feel a slight undercurrent of defensiveness.
‘No, not like that, just…I don’t know. It’s awkward now, right?’
He shakes his head. ‘I wanted to see how you were.’
‘But it’s awkward. I don’t know where to look. And you’re not really saying anything and it’s just so. Gosh. I don’t know. But, I don’t know.’
‘Just look at me then.’ He said quietly. 
‘Big words coming from a man who didn’t call me back after he kissed me.’
He shrugged. It felt too casual for him. He hadn’t that same elegance as Elijah, but rather, a curious kind of stiffness. You didn’t know if it was from spending so long daggered in the box or how shrugging was so…. twenty-first century, but the motion made you smile. It was too janky to take seriously.
‘It’s,’ He stopped himself,’ It’s not like that.’
You sat up now, on your knees, mid-riff exposed. He glanced at the exposed flesh, eyes flickering between the soft skin of your stomach to your eyes.
‘If you take it back, take it back like a man. I don’t like playing games Finn. I feel so on edge. Either you like like me, or you don’t.’ 
He picked up another animal only to set it back down. 
‘It’s so new to me…’ He began.
‘Stop.’ You cut him off.’ If you’re not romantically interested, then start there. I don’t want you to be nice about it.’
‘No listen I-’
‘No you listen Finn-’ 
He grabbed you by the upper arms, using his vampiric speed to stand before you. He eased his grip slowly, but his hands never moved. They felt soft and strangely warm. 
‘I like you. It’s just…I don’t know what to do about it.’ He said. 
‘So then, why’d you kiss me.’
‘Because I wanted to.’ He looked at the closed bedroom door and swallowed. You were both alone. In your room. You were half-naked. The situation was eating away at him. ‘Was that wrong of me? Should I have not?’
You breathed a sigh of relief. ‘I’d let you do it again if you wanted. I’d let you do a lot more.’
He shook his head. ‘You don’t understand me. I know how it is now; in this day and age, I saw how you spoke to that boy that came up to you all those days ago, how quickly you waved him off….I would be sick for years if you were to ever talk to me like that.’ He looked so serious.’ I want to matter to you. Does that make any sense?’
You nodded eagerly. He pushed your hair back from your forehead, his hand lingering in a way that made you think of a mother checking her child for fever. 
‘I like you, ' he said finally. ‘These past couple of days were just me coming to terms with how much. I want to court you properly, the way we did when I was still alive.’ 
You made a face.’ Well…what would that entail?’
‘Something more official. We would announce it.’
You grabbed him by the front of his black shirt and pulled him down towards you. You fell back into the bed, but you didn’t care. All you wanted to do was feel his lips and yours, and he was more than happy to oblige. 
He pulled back. ‘Does this mark the beginning of our courtship?’ He asked with an overzealous eagerness.
You couldn’t help but laugh in his face.’ Oh, you sweet, sweet man.’ You pulled him down to kiss him. ‘Yes, you can be my boyfriend.’ 
‘Very good.’

living in an area where tourism is the entire economy, at peak season, with road infrastructure that was never intended to handle large volumes of traffic, is basically like
- the only toll-free major route is one lane each way, double yellow line, and the person in front is going ten miles under the limit
- no seriously i get that you wanna take your time getting to the fun place you’re going but *i* am not on vacation and i’m begging you to move so i can get to work on time
- oh god everyone in the township is having a yard sale and there are people parked haphazardly everywhere on the shoulders
- oh hello there pedestrian! you really just jeopardized your life and my sanity crossing said major route without warning to reach a church yard sale for a $1 beach chair with complementary trump 2024 flag
- sir, why are you honking. sir, right of way still applies in parking lots. no, seriously, sir, that is a stop sign— SIR
- ma’am that’s not a parking spot
- 🎶 all around me are familiar faces 🎶 ignore the shirtless barefoot men bickering over the slushee machine

To all ruralpunks out there,
It's frustrating to not have a way to get involved with your local community. We don't typically have things like public libraries, community centers, farmer's markets, etc.
Something that's worked for me is getting involved with my local church. There is a church in every town here in the South, that is the one thing you can rely on aside from a post office. I'm not a Christian and never will be, but in my community the church is the center of getting involved and holds all sorts of events like soup kitchens, community yard sales, etc.
I go to a United Methodist Church, which is lgbtq affirming. I've heard episcopalians are too. I never feel pressured to do communion or convert. I go there to sing and help out people in my community, and people are respectful of that.
Use your discretion in finding a church to go to. Not all will have the same kind of environment mine does, but places like this exist out there and are helpful resources for those of us who do not have the same options as city folk.

Tumblr media
My fascination with the way different people have wildly differing interpretations of how to convert a church still has plenty to see. Now, this 1868 church is like nothing we've every seen before. The variations are amazing. It's in Carlinville, Illinois, has 3bds, 3.5ba, and is an affordable $399K.
Tumblr media
The entrance hall could be beautiful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at the work they did on the ceiling, alone, in the main room. And, the original lights are still up. This is the Great Room and it has more than 10,000 metallic silver stars. (Who got up there and stuck those up?)
Tumblr media
They put up wall partitions. Good idea.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They kept the original altar and moved it to the side of the room, making a fireplace out of it. They are having a moving sale and there is plenty of room in here for that.
Tumblr media
A pink dining room with original doorways and wainscoting, plus a tray ceiling.
Tumblr media
A glass wall and doors have a clear view of the great room.
Tumblr media
There are also approximately 30 chandeliers and fixtures.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Check out the kitchen. Very high end cabinetry and a colorful backsplash.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In this sitting room, an amazing piece was turned into a fireplace.
Tumblr media
Each of these beams have different faces carved faces on top. This looks pretty goth, doesn't it?
Tumblr media
The half bath has a beautiful sink.
Tumblr media
Choir loft stairs. The checkered floors are terrazzo.
Tumblr media
The choir loft is so pretty- look at the lacy details on the iron railing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The primary bedroom has a view of the great room and look at the architectural details.
Tumblr media
Room for exercise equipment outside a shower room. That's pretty neat.
Tumblr media
And, this bath is nice. Are you noticing the lighting fixtures?
Tumblr media
How cute. This bedroom is a few steps down.
Tumblr media
They're not kidding about the chandeliers.
Tumblr media
Bedroom #3.
Tumblr media
They didn't change the building's original structure so some of the baths are a bit awkward, but that's okay.
Tumblr media
Looks like they're not quite done with this loft.
Tumblr media
I suspect that all of these commercial tables and chairs came with the building. Can you imagine the parties you can have w/all of these? Shoot, I would even rent them out!
Tumblr media
8,233 sq ft lot. Looks like there's a nice vine-covered fence, too. The yard has potential.
