TWO. THE WRATH SING, O GODDESS

the next time you see him, you are seated in the windowed alcove of the palace library, hidden behind the imposing shelves of mahogany wood. you could feel the thick knitted blankets and fox furs beneath your thighs, a fluffy cushion left of your waist.

you leaned against the window, ornate and elegant, cut in frames to let in squares of golden sun. the smooth cover of the book is familiar under your fingerpads, a beloved relic from your father. even with your gaze cast towards the window, you could envision the wine-dark cover in your hands, embossed with a deep gold; the methodical lettering forming words that you could recite like water spilling down the rumbling falls.

faintly, suddenly, like a whisper in the wind, the air changed. the soft hum of divinity, maybe, but you could not have known what that was. it only felt stronger as golden hair came into vision, reflecting off the glass planes of the windows. you blinked, straightening your back. you had thought it to be a trick of the light, but it was apparent how real he was with each languid step he took, steady and sure.

kaiser was not a god, but you can scarcely imagine anything more perfect than him. wherever he went, he drew everything to him like a great flame. and although your spitefulness refused to let you look at him, it could not be helped how your gaze traced his features reflected on the window, the brightness of his hair so lustrous it was lit from within, the steady curve of his face, and the arc of his rose-coloured lips.

you hear his feet stop before you, and his mouth opens, poised and self-assured. "this place belongs to me."

he was referring to this cosy little alcove, and you chide yourself for not noticing how personalised this place was, blanketed in wools and the highest quality of furs and goose-feathered pillows.

only then you look back at him, features screwed with slight displeasure. under his pointed stare, you swing your legs down from the wood carved into the window to face him properly, freeing up half the space. "this is a library. it doesn't belong to anyone," you say with narrowed eyes.

he looks almost like he can't believe the words coming out of your mouth. his arms move to cross over his chest. "the gods have decreed me to be emperor of kings. everything that treads the ground will belong to me one day." he does not say it boastfully, or arrogantly. it is fact to him as much as the stars circle the sky each night.

your lips twitch in search of a response, "not yet," you say weakly, and you stare into the endless blue of his eyes. your tone is stronger; "you are no emperor yet. you have no right to ask me to leave."

that surprised him. he tilts his head at you curiously, like a little sparrow. you may be the daughter of nobility, but he is the prince. he probably had all the rights in the world and more. like a tamed beast, he sits down next to you. he smells of roses and white jasmine, and you dare not to turn your head, glancing at him nervously from the corner of your eye. his gaze darts to your hand.

he shifts again, pressing his head on your shoulder as you fight down a flinch. a strand of hair falls over his eyes, and he blows it away with a huff. cerulean eyes stare up at you intently. like this, he reminds you of those sleek felines in the estate.

"read to me." it was a command, but the way he said it did not feel like one. to you, it was soft but distinct, easy as how one would utter their own name.

your mouth feels parched, but still, you crack the book open, the pages yellowed from their age. the familiar words ease you slightly, and your voice hangs in the air like the willows over a curving pond.

'the wrath sing, o goddess, of peleus' son

achilles'

his eyelashes flutter like the wings of a butterfly, fanning against his cheeks. he blinks slowly, relaxed. your gaze darts from the book to him like a school of fish in the water, but you hardly need to reference the pages, the words carved into your heart like a searing iron.

his golden hair curls around his head, the longer strands pooling at the dips of his collarbone and down the edge of your own shoulder. it drew your eye, glimmering like starlight, so bright against the sun the locks glowed white. carelessly, your fingers smooth over a strand of hair covering the side of his face, flipping the ends up to marvel at the way they lit up in the light. you had no sooner realised your mistake than when his jewelled eyes darted towards you, causing you to release his hair with a jerk of your hand. "i'm sorry, i didn't -"

he silences you with a yawn, pink tongue flashing against white teeth. his lashes flutter again, shifting his head closer to you. then, his eyes close with sleep. it's almost cute, in a way. you know that he is not actually asleep, but you also realise this is his way of permitting you to continue.

hesitantly, your fingers twitch in longing, at his unavoidable beauty, written by the poets. you wipe your hands harshly on your skirt, fearful that the beading sweat might stick to his glorious hair. with trembling hands, your fingers card through the streaming gold strands, smoothing over the top of his head. he makes a soft sound of pleasure, which makes you smile slightly.

you tuck a strand of hair behind his ear, and you can't help but think that his beauty is fine as a girl's. his lashes open again, jade white skin parting to reveal the hanging jewels of his eyes, a shifting, dazzling blue.

his eyes crinkle a secretive smile. under the light of the sun, you smile back.

Could you give me some Kaveh HCs please?

EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE BLONDE SUMERIAN ARCHITECT RAH- i have some for modern!au, general ones, nd some that imply kavetham so-

hcs under the cut !!

General :

- i think a pretty generic one: kaveh with freckles. i don't just mean on his face - i mean everywhere. in some areas they aren't as prominent, but they're definitely still there. (side note: cough cough alhaithan would jokingly draw goofy shapes on them if kaveh allowed him to. brainrot kid alhaitham exists in my head too- that's for another time.)

- would get told by someone "you have doctor's hands," and the thought of him pursuing medicine instead of architecture would stick around until he decides against it because he wouldn't want to dissect animals

- that being said, i don't think he's squeamish per se, but i don't think he'd like opening up an animal.. also the smell if he volunteered to keep the animal parts would be a-grade nasty, and i do not think he'd want to live with it.

- he has mixed up his painting water and drinking water. multiple times. it goes either way.. he dips his brush into his drinking water or drinks his paint water - or both.

- absolutely despises the texture of certain fabrics, especially the really thin and translucent one that frays at the ends whenever it's cut. makes him get goosebumps.

- this is a stretch i think but he excels at making brownies specifically.

Kavetham :

- has a piece of alhaitham's old uniform sewn somewhere on his clothes. where? i'm not sure. he just does.

- he and alhaitham would get matching charms. haitham would straightaway hang his on his keys; kaveh would do the same and then freak out thinking he's lost it only to remember it's on his keys and his keys are with haitham. said charm is now hung somewhere on him (attached to his vision ?? i dunno.)

- they communicate in morse code when in public/a crowded area. alhaitham taps his fingers on his head, kaveh snaps. if they're holding hands, then it's squeezes :3

Modern!AU

- he n his family would watch bob ross painting tutorials, and he'd refuse to sleep until he saw the results even if it was really late at night

- he has cats (two, one calico named kori, nd one orange tabby named piyo)

- he doesn't buy cat towers, he makes them. he has a bunch of cardboard boxes / other materials to make the cat towers since he knows his cats best and knows what they like to do (personalised cat towers !!)

- used to have one of those suitcases with wheels that you could ride as a kid, he wants one again but he saw how expensive they were and just decided against it.

that's all i have in my brain as of now. he's so beloved they could never make me hate him.

[verita-lapalissiana]

i think we should totally reform the school system in italy. i have this huge complex vision but i know no one cares probably and i can't be bothered to explain in full but i think elementary school should be extended to include the last year of kindergarten as some sort of mandatory preschool year to learn the alphabet, arithmetics, get everything going a year earlier, keep the kids longer in school, include more laboratory activities, maybe even some hours dedicated to the local dialect or to a migratory language. i think by middle school everyone should at least learn basics of their local dialect and of a migratory language of their choosing.

religion should only be taught in elementary school, it should give a wide perspective on most religions and it should drop the "catholic" in the name. and then starting in middle school (which ideally would start two years earlier and last four years) it should be replaced by a broader subject, like social and civic education but like, as a full subject that could also be used for proper sexual education, and to teach antiracism and antisexism and antihomophobia and all those antis that are very much needed in today's society.

then the last year of middle school+first year of high school could become, like, some sort of preparatory gymnasium with a schedule that can be partially adjusted towards theoretical or practical subjects, depending on whether one is planning to attend a lyceum or a technical high school, and the following four years would be basically an extended version of what the triennium currently looks like in most high schools, although with a bunch of extra hours that can be personalised for laboratories and stuff like that.

also as someone who did classical lyceum, i think classical lyceum should either die forever or change in lots of ways, like adding a couple hours of philology or giving the ability to choose something other than greek, like quranic arabic, sanskrit, or old german/english/norse/whatever (latin would still be mandatory of course). also, lets make a couple new lyceums like theatrical or medical (<- this one would be pretty cool and automatically grant access to medicine/veterinary/dentistry so we can also get rid of that fucking stupid test d'ingresso). i dunno maybe im going crazy but if i ever become minister for education i would do something like this

A Review of my time in Skyrim's Prisons (Featuring some followers): The Chill

This is the (much delayed due to work) eighth part of my Skyrim Prison Review series. In this post I explore The Chill, the only thing in Winterhold other than the College of Winterhold to hold any significance whatsoever as this jail contains much do discuss.

First arriving in the prison and we are greeted with what I can only assume to be a claustrophobe's worst nightmare. The guards had thrown the entire squad into a single tiny cell. Space to move around was effectively non-existent for us. I imagine a singular convict would fare better, but not by much. Also worth considering is our surroundings. We were tossed into a frozen cavern in the middle of nowhere and locked in a sharp metal box. Needless to say the Winterhold judiciary were making their attitudes to prison life clear. They wanted convicts to suffer.

Shuffling myself through the rag-tag squad to better observe the cell interior we see a single bed roll and lantern for illumination. This all aligns perfectly with how Winterhold want their prisoners to leave review scores of one Ancient Frost Atronach out of ten Ancient Frost Atronachs and not even risk stealing from Winterhold because of how badly they'd be treated. Needless to say there was a LOT of debate in the team as to who would receive bed roll privileges and who would have to huddle to each other for warmth. As can be expected from a squad comprised of a drunkard, a donkey, a recovering Skooma addict, a barely housetrained Reikling and a Skyrim Tumblr Sexy Man, yelling eventually evolved into its stage two form: Violence. Just before proper conflict could be instigated though I noticed something.

I still had my equipment on me. At no point did any of the authorities strip me of my gear and as such there would be no prisoner belongings chest in this prison. This can be interpreted in one of two ways. Either the guards that brought me here are largely incompetent and simply forgot to remove my belongings (which seems unlikely given the complete lack of a prisoner belonging chest) or the way I personally interpreted it which was "These guards have the biggest kahoonies in the entire country". They are SO confident in their defences that they don't even bother taking away prisoners' gear. They think even with it all convicts can't escape.

Now it is worth noting that not having their things stolen is nothing new for my companions. I am unsure as to why every hold lets them keep their gear while I lose mine, but I suspect that the answer is very complicated, personalised and more than likely involves Slaughterfish in some capacity. This aside, thanks to our shared equipment not being stolen, picking the adept lock on our cell before any blood was drawn proved simple.

Looking outside my cell I can plainly see where the confidence of the Winterhold Guard derives from. Instead of sending good men to freeze to death guarding pickpickets that also freeze to death, they hired out Frost Atronachs from the College nearby. This proved to be a very effective source of fear, muscle and worry in convicts, so much so that I temporarily deployed the Super Special Dragonborn Information Vision (S.S.DIV) that every Dragonborn has to keep track of my health, magicka and stamina (It's a dragonborn thing, look it up). The atronach was patrolling a small area with only three cells including ours and some barrels inside. Given how small I imagine the life expectancy for Chill inmates is thanks to the cold, I suppose it makes sense to not bother decorating. Once we had properly stepped outside of our cell, the Atronach got to work immediately and began an offensive on our group.

No points for guessing how it went.

A small incline to the right of the cell we were put into let out of the prison, where we were greeted with both a sharp realisation and, surprisingly, a welcome party.

Three additional Frost Atronachs ambushed us the second we stepped out of The Chill, as well as a lone Horker which appeared to be there just to feel included. This troublesome trio posed a triple threat to our squad and even managed a decent hit on me in the ensuing battle, though once again through the power of friendship, magic and Jordan we pulled through (at the cost of Teldryn's Flame Atronach).

It was following the defeat of the Atronachs that we came to a realisation. We were not in the city of Winterhold. We were not even CLOSE to the city of Winterhold. We were, as the less eloquently spoken would say, in the middle of fucking nowhere. We were dragged onto a tiny island in the middle of the ocean in freezing weather (heavy armour and all) by the guards and simply left to die. This goes beyond simple prisoner negligence or torture for military/political information. They were actively trying to kill us because I punched a single guardsman once and immediately surrendered. That is... a very commendable attitude. These guards are even more no-nonsense than the Windhelm Guards and this further supports my arguments about the aforementioned kahoonies.

In conclusion, this was easily the best prison I have seen so far. It fully commits to its cold attitude to prisoning with zero compromise, makes effective use of powerful Frost Atronachs to save on manpower, is incredibly cost efficient in terms of cell upkeep and manages to keep convicts out of the city streets better than any other hold capital by simply imprisoning them several miles away from the city itself in a sub-zero climate that would kill most escapees alone. This facility is beyond exceptional.

Final Score: Ten Ancient Frost Atronachs out of Ten Ancient Frost Atronachs

Thank you for reading this review. I hope that the conclusion to this saga arrives with a smaller gap than the last two did. This is especially important since I've saved by far the biggest for last.

"No one escapes Cidhna Mine"? Yeah right.

[rouecentric]

INAZUMAAAA hopefully these aren't annoying by this point, if they are I'm so sorry, but onto Inazuma while I hope this is still interesting! Inazuma is already oppressive when the traveler first arrives there, and this is no different with you present. Beidou doesn't need much persuading to take you there, luckily, since she's seen you to and from a lot of places (that isn't to say she wouldn't mind if you stayed as a permanent member of the Crux, though. She might not let you share drinks with her and the others but she already has a juice supply for when you're aboard so why not make yourself at home?).

That being said, Kazuha is less excited at the prospect of you going to the very same place he lost his friend. Though his interest in the traveler possibly reigniting the vision prevents him from objecting completely, so he'll settle for just keeping an eye on you as long as he can before you reach Inazuma, since he won't easily be able to follow you there with his criminal status.

Oh but just wait until you meet Thoma and the Kamisatos, they'll adore you whether you've met them previously or not, they're ready to welcome you with open arms. Thoma might ask you how Mondstadt is faring, Ayaka wants to go around town with you now that she has someone to spend time with and Ayato is probably looking into any potential ways you could be politically talked into staying even just a little longer. Your stay with them is like being pampered to death, Thoma is at your beck and call, always getting you what you want, even if you didn't ask for it.

Yoimiya would have a field day with you! Entertaining kids is her specialty, she loves them, and she certainly loves you! Come look at her new fireworks, every time you use one you'll remember her, isn't that sweet? I doubt anyone other than her thinks so. Kujou Sara might catch sight of those lights in the distance and find them to be an annoying distraction, Yae Miko might spy them from miles up at the shrine and find such childish things amusing - but if they knew they were a personalised gift to keep your attention on Yoimiya? I guess depending on how petty they are, how selfish they are to want you only at their side or confined in the nation, they might try to interfere with Yoimiya's gesture of friendship.

When the traveler joins the resistance, it's likely nobody wants you involved, you're only a child you shouldn't have to see this. You should be able to enjoy the beautiful sights at Watatsumi Island while Kokomi and Gorou focus on organising and carrying out battles, even Sara would probably prefer if Itto and Kuki came along to keep you busy elsewhere with beetle fighting or whatever it is they get up to. Everyone just wants you out of harm's way, they'll deal with you later.

Obviously, there's still a pretty significant person in Inazuma who still hasn't been mentioned: Ei. And with good reason, because out of everyone in Inazuma she's undeniably the biggest threat. Not only is she unstable on her own when it comes to attachments, but when she pulls the traveler into Euthymia and you and Paimom are left alone in front of a crowd of soldiers, it becomes clear to everyone that you can't be left to travel the world like this, the traveler can't even take care of you!

And Ei's return does nothing but solidify this. She's been alone for so long that having a new face, a new friend who can experience eternity with her due to your shared immortality, she doesn't want to lose that. Up until you hint towards leaving, everything will be fine. Ei likely tries to get you to try out all kinds of sweets with her to fulfill her sweet tooth, the lifting of the sakoku decree lessens the tension throughout the nation, life is good until you and the traveler agree its time to move on. While they won't reinstate the sakoku decree just to get you to stay, you'll basically be in a race against everyone to get to Beidou's ship before someone catches you and drags you to an estate!

(in all honesty I haven't caught up with Sumeru enough to write one about that so I think this is where my ranting ends, I thank you for listening I hope it wasn't too boring)

DW ANON I RLLY LOVE YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ON THE CHARACTERS!!

imo yae would be interested in the reader after they and the traveler survived ei + the warriors that reinforce the vision hunt decree, as the reader is definitely experienced enough in fighting, yae is the type to attempt to manipulate and gaslight the reader into staying with her and ei.

speaking of ei, she's a desperate woman, so she's not above breaking any of the reader's bones if it means you'll stay with her.

so in general, there's pretty much a small chance of the reader even being able to leave, unless beidou and kazuha are involved in getting them away from the others.

₊❏❜ ⋮ ⌒ Chapter 3 - Wanna get a guitar?

In which Miyoung might finally get to be in the group- might.

Pairing - (brief) Wonbin × OC

: ̗̀➛ Next , Masterlist

Choi Miyoung sighed, staring at the endless number of files stored in her laptop. Her room now a mess of music sheets, chip packets, and an unhealthy amount of stress.

She had a billion deadlines to be met- what felt like a billion. Lesserafim, Kiss of Life, twice, aespa, red velvet, and her own projects. How the hell would she complete any of it? She was glad she got NCT out of the way at least.

Yellow summer felt more like Blue freezing winter right now. Her thoughts were interrupted as someone called for her, "Noona! Minyoung finished making dinner! It's getting cold come right now!"

Sighing yet again, she stood up from her swivel chair and got out of her dark room. The light of the living room piercing her eyes as she made her way towards the dining table.

"That tteokbokki looks great Minyoung," she complimented, sitting down and grabbing a pair of chopsticks. "I helped you know,"

"Youngmin, standing and irritating me isn't helping," Minyoung rolled her eyes. "Noona! I suggested adding the cheese!" He complained to Miyoung.

"Yea sure, you helped," she sarcastically said. "But Minyoung, this is great!"

"The Favouritism is real," Youngmin pouted.

The two sisters laughed at their annoying brother before continuing to eat the tasty rice cakes.

"Unnie, is everything okay? You seem really stressed."

"Uh Unnie, you're yellow summer right? Why don't you calm down a little? Cheery thoughts?"

"To be honest, no," she paused, taking a deep breath, "I already had to make so many songs for other groups and now, if I want to debut, I have to make 6 demo songs." Her younger siblings put down their chopsticks, feeling ever-so bad for their sister, who spoke so sadly.

"Can you believe it? That fucking asshole Kim knew I'm freaking Yellow summer and have all these other groups to write for but that shitty jerk had to give me such a task. One song has to be upbeat like a title track about guitars, one has to be chic and cool, one has to have a nostalgic feel, another has to have a hip-hop feel to it, one should be fucking calm or something and one has to be "sexy" what the absolute hell does he mean!?" Miyoung's previously somber tone suddenly turned into a furious one, scaring the 13 year old twins.

"You're right, sorry for screaming like that,"

"Do you have any idea, what you're gonna do?" Youngmin asked.

"Well I have basic ideas for most of them but the hip-hop one- I'm freaking lost- like what do I even write-" Miyoung's rant was interrupted when the sound of an ambulance passed by. The siren going off loudly.

"Wait a minute..." she tilted her head to the side.

-

"Wait you were able to do it?"

"All the six songs?"

"In 9 days?"

"How?"

"Are you god?"

A multitude of questions came from her possible future members as the group waited in a practice room. Mr.Kim taking his sweet time to arrive.

"I mean, I barely slept but the job's done so-" Miyoung was interrupted when the door of the room opened up, revealing the unusually cheery executive. He fixed his suit before asking, "So you actually completed it huh? Or are you gonna make up some excuse right now?"

"I actually did it you ass- I mean I completed all of it." She quickly corrected herself, when one of the girls beside her pinched her arm.

"Alright go ahead."

"The first track is called Get a guitar and it goes like this-"

The strums of a guitar echoed across the room as the addictive track began- before everyone knew it they were vibing to the dun dun of the song.

And then the next track called Blue flame played, the members already visioning the possible choreography for the song.

"The next song is Memories, and I personalised one of the lyrics for the group name."

Everyone realised what she meant when the "we rise" part came along.

"This one is called talk saxy,"

"This is the calm song you asked for, it's called cool with you."

"...And finally this one is siren."

'BEEP BEEP BEEP-'

"Ohhh!" The group couldn't help but cheer because of the hype feeling of the song. Everyone enjoyed the beats of it, until it was over.

"Oh, well, Ms.Choi, you did a great job, congrats on being Riize's composer, I hope you continue to release such good tracks for their group." With yet another smirk, Mr.Kim walked out of the room, leaving everyone shocked at his decision.

Clenching her fists, Miyoung ran out of the room, knowing she wouldn't accept such a conclusion.

"Mr.Kim, you-you can't turn back on your words! You said that-"

"Well I only said that, it was never official per se,"

"But your word is official," she argued, feeling defeated.

"Well a girl like you, whose past is covered with scars, shouldn't debut, do you know what a stain you'd be? A worthless orphan? What if people find out about your siblings, they'd think you're some whore who got pregnant young and are taking care of your fucking kids, aish, seriously just stick to being a faceless composer yea?" He walked away, leaving her seemingly alone in the hallway, tears forcing their way out.

She stayed there frozen for a couple of minutes, actually taking his words seriously. "Did I just waste all my time for nothing?" She thought.

A creak alerted her and she quickly wiped her face with the sleeve of her sweater, looking at the group that was walking out of the room. (They had been called by one of their managers)

"Congrats on your debut, fighting," was all she said to them as they gave her sympathetic looks- the expressions she despised. People shedding pity on her, it made her feel pathetic and weak and she hated that entirely.

"Don't feel bad for me, if you do that I won't give these songs to you guys!" She joked through her tears, trying to avoid their pity.

"Guys, what are you doing come quick, you have a meeting." The 11 people soon began leaving.

Miyoung was about to go back in the room and get her laptop but she felt someone grab her hand.

He was the boy that she thought was the best-looking out of the bunch. The one with a charming smile that seemed all too endearing. Wonbin was it?

"Miyoung, I don't know what you've been through at all but all I know is that you're so strong, I'm guessing your siblings only have you as a guardian, so you're amazing for persevering through that." He took a pause, looking at her rather confused expression- her eyes still teary. "I'm not giving you pity... but I'm telling you that you're great, don't listen to that asshole."

T*LC Refutation (but decidedly NOT johnlock refutation)

Part-2: What's wrong with their actual meta posts?

[Note: I love and ship johnlock because I saw it for myself in the show when I watched it and was part of the general audience in the past. I even want it to become canon in some Holmes adaption in the future. But T*lc needs to get sucked into obscurity and forgotten. Other fandoms like Good Omens, etc., are following the same rhetoric in their "meta" posts, and that needs to go. This is crucial for our basic critical thinking skills and objectivity.]

1.) Cherry picking and Tunnel vision: These two are almost always linked together.

Cherry- Picking: The action or practice of choosing and taking only the most beneficial or profitable items, opportunities, etc., from what is available.

Tunnel vision (in slang) :  A tendency to think only about one thing and to ignore everything else.

This is the first fallacy that comes to mind. Even when I wasn't familiar with the exact words, I could still see that T*lcers always tended to only focus on the moments that could be interpreted as johnlock, and conveniently ignore the ones that contradicted their theories.

An example of this: Why did Sherlock never change his personalised moaning text alert that was set up by Irene on his phone? It even shows up in TLD, why?

I was looking for meta posts that might specifically give me the answer to this question. A T*LC explanation for this. Turns out I didn't find anything.

Because deep down even they know that this isn't exactly a johnlock element in the show. This element is actually about adl*ck.

Like I said, I do ship johnlock, and I'm not even a multi-shipper usually. Adl*ck is literally my NOTP, but facts are facts, aren't they?

This show does not support just one ship involving the title character, but rather it supports multiple of them. Johnlock is just one of those ships. It definitely isn't the only possible explanation for this entire show.

T*lc believers couldn't ever give a johnlock explanation to that thing, so they decided to ignore that altogether, and only focus on how jealous John feels when he hears that tone in the show.

Or, contrarily, they would actively twist every single scene to make it look like a johnlock scene in their meta posts. Which leads me to talk about the next logical fallacy.

2.) Confirmation bias:

Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and prefer information that supports our preexisting beliefs.

These people saw johnlock in the show (naturally), but then they stretched it so far that johnlock became the main plot of the show eventually in their eyes. Every single scene somehow became all about johnlock to them.

This logical fallacy is the main one and can be found in almost any t*lc meta post.

An example: You guys must've seen posts floating around in this fashion on Tumblr: "If t*lc isn't real, then why..." or "if not johnlock, then what?".

Look at this post and this famous video so you'll get my point easily.

That's confirmation bias. The whole show does not become all about johnlock just because certain scenes from many episodes support the ship. Johnlock is just one interpretation among many in this show.

Besides, this is a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. This is about the most famous detective in fiction. Cases and the individual characterisations (devoid of any shipping biases) will always take the first priority. That's what the general audience - or "casuals" as t*lcers like to call them in a condescending way - is here for.

(Side note but "casuals" are the most important part of the audience in almost any fandom. What those people pick up on usually tends to be the authorial intent. Writers need their hardwork to come across to most people in their audience. They're not writing a show for just a few "special' people on Tumblr.)

This show becomes 100% johnlocky only through confirmation bias.

In response to this fallacy, I love to quote these lines by Sherlock Holmes from A Study in Scarlet (by Arthur Conan Doyle) :

Data! Data! Data! I cannot make bricks without clay.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

3.) Backward reasoning: Closely connected to confirmation bias.

Backward logic or reasoning is a type of thinking that involves working from the end result to find the best solution.

It's not possible for me to state a specific example here. 90% of any T*LC meta starts with a pre-defined conclusion "Because Johnlock!" and then the rest of the analysis is written accordingly.

The biggest problem with this fallacy in the context of t*lc is that any complexity or nuance gets lost in the process. Or on the contrary, these people overcomplicate everything according to their own convenience. Anything as long as they get to the pre-defined conclusion "because johnlock" at the end.

Ok, here's an example, anyway: Irene Adler said she was gay in the Battersea Power station scene. Therefore we'll bend over backwards trying to prove how totally not in love with Sherlock she was.

Never mind the fact that some gay people can develop feelings for the opposite gender sometimes. Sexuality can be fluid for some people.

Also, this episode was written by Steven Moffat, who has been extremely ignorant and insensitive about marginalised people in his interviews in the past. What do you expect?

Her phone's password was "I am SHERlocked". Her last wish was to send a goodbye text to him when she was about to get executed in Karachi. Take a wild guess.

4.) The Black and White fallacy : Self-explanatory.

Black and white thinking is a thought pattern that makes people think in absolutes.

This isn't limited to just the t*lc side of the fandom. Many people, regardless of what they ship are responsible for this.

Example : Moriarty is a "psychopath" so it's absolutely impossible for him to have any real feelings for Sherlock.

This when Moriarty's life has always revolved all around Sherlock ever since Sherlock solved Carl Powers' case when they were both teens.

Just because a character is a villain and abusive towards the main character, it doesn't necessarily mean he's incapable of human emotions. It's not always like this.

Also, ask yourself, why would the abuser in the relationship try every way they know to keep their victim with them? The abuser's real sentiment for the victim is the major reason.

Not condoning abuse or being a Moriarty apologetic here lol. Just saying that his own feelings for Sherlock don't disappear just because this ship is unhealthy.

Also, terms like "psychopath" and "sociopath" have become obsolete for ages now. ASPD is the correct word. Use it. We need to stop throwing around big words we don't even know the meanings of.

5.) Hasty Generalisation:

A hasty generalization fallacy is a claim made on the basis of insufficient evidence or a few examples.

Example:

Mycroft: Oh, Sherlock. What do we say about co-incidences?

Sherlock: The universe is rarely so lazy.

Hoo boy. The way this line got repeated ad nauseam (still does)!

When I was ranting about this line and the fans' attitude towards it to Kim, they said, "The universe is in fact very lazy."

So true, isn't it? There's a reason every phenomenon in the universe, from largest to microscopic, tends towards stability.

In relation to this, not every single event is going to be tied to a specific, neat little narrative in the universe. Entropy is a thing.

Because of this line "The universe is rarely so lazy," any continuity/production error is considered intentional and "clever" (God I hate this word now) by these people. The writers keep getting undeserved credit. There's a reason some people still believe S-4 is fake because it was badly written on purpose.

And this is just one example of the bad things this fallacy has done. Don't even get me started on the symbolisms. (I'm getting there, just wait.)

Here's my response to "the universe is rarely so lazy" then.

This is from the same show.

6.) Bandwagon:

Meaning: Majority of the people believe in this thing, therefore it must be true.

Example: This isn't really specific, but how often have you seen t*lcers just repeat each others' words/statements verbatim? Too often in my experience. Half of the time they don't even seem to think about anything related to the show for themselves. They just seem to be parroting each other.

Ok, have an example then. "Sherlock is such a gay baby bottom twink! 😍"

Not only is this factually wrong, because he's a fully functional grown man, but it's also incredibly fetishistic. Stop fetishising queer people.

Have this in my response:

7.) Ad hominem:

You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in order to undermine their argument.

How many times have these people falsely accused others of homophobia in response to any kind of criticism? Even if it was constructive.

I've actually seen a bnf say, "People only asked so many questions or expressed so many doubts about t*lc because this theory was about a queer relationship, and the possibility of it becoming canon."

Seriously? So is everyone just supposed to turn their brains off and believe in literally anything you say just because?

You even used to get accused of homophobia if you dared to headcanon Sherlock as asexual or even aro/ace. And these people used to claim they cared about queer representation. LOL.

"Mark Gatiss is secretly straight because he didn't make johnlock canon."

"Sarah Z, the youtuber, is homophobic because how dare she question the sacred t*lc in her youtube video about us?!"

8.) The straw man:

A straw man fallacy occurs when someone distorts or exaggerates another person’s argument, and then attacks the distorted version of the argument instead of genuinely engaging.

Anyone who ships either Sherlock or John with any other character apart from each other (particularly if it's a female character either of them are being shipped with) is characterised weirdly in t*lcer's posts.

"You're so heteronormative if you ship Sherl0lly!"

Even if the said Sherl0lly shipper goes ahead to clarify that they're also queer, and that they headcanon both of those characters in that ship as queer in the show.

You get accused of homophobia for headcanoning Sherlock as bisexual! This comes from the same people who insist John is bi in canon.

Well, something tells me that these people just h/c John as bi to make this ship work.

These were some of the few logical fallacies Kim and I could think of when were talking about the meta posts or even general shitposts by these people. I know there are a lot more than these and this is just scratching the surface.

Well, if most of your posts are just filled with fallacious arguments in an attempt to support your theory, your theory might not be as strong as you think.

Part- 1 Introduction (why I'm making this post now and a bit about me).

Part - 3: Everything wrong with "subtexts" and "symbolisms".

T*LC refutation (but NOT johnlock refutation) master post.

ac6: apv wip

since i post 'em on twitter but not here, have a apv wip teaser for next chapter:

C4-621 rolled over where he’d been curled up underneath Rusty’s thick duvet, pulling the stuffed toy he’d captured closer to him. Maybe that’s why this bed felt so nice too, he mused. Rusty’s room was very personalised too… intimate, almost, with how much of Rusty’s private life was exposed here. Those photographs, this toy…  Like most Gen Fours, C4-621’s night vision was fairly good. Even underneath the near pitch-black darkness of his duvet, he could see the outline of the stuffed toy he held in his hands, though everything was in varying shades of grey.  The stuffed toy was of some sort of wolf, the proportions too childish to really pin down what specific breed, with a large head and large paws that weren’t proportionate to the rest of its body. The fur was thick and plush, though C4-621 could feel it worn down in some parts, bald patches where the stitching could be easily felt against his fingertips. It probably had two eyes at some point, but only one remained, a flat disc of black where the painted iris had long been scratched off. The missing eye just had a knot of stitching where it had broken off, giving the wolf a beaten-up look about it.  C4-621 idly ran his fingers through the toy’s thick ruff. The toy looked like it’d been through a few wars, but it probably looked like this because it had been well-loved. What little C4-621 had been exposed to after being cracked out of cold storage showed him that love could be as bruising and damaging as simple hostility and violence - more so, in fact. Love had a way of finding that gap between your ribs to knife right into your guts. No real way to fight it. No real way to burn it out.  How easy life would be, if he was as cold and heartless many thought him as…

Everything Everything: Making mountains

Jonathan Higgs in the interview about Mountainhead for Dork Magazine | 27.10.2023

With their seventh album on the way next year, EVERYTHING EVERYTHING are still pushing at the boundaries. Check out the latest cover story for our New Music Friday playlist edit, The Cut.

Words: Stephen Ackroyd.

As they approach their seventh studio release, Everything Everything aren’t slowing down or playing it safe – quite the opposite. With a conceptual vision inspired by an alternate reality, the band find themselves questioning society, tech, and what it means to be human.

Lead vocalist Jonathan Higgs takes a break from finalising their latest video (“It’s all one shot, so there isn’t much to do!”) to discuss the forthcoming record. “It’s got a fairly simple concept; it’s about a fictional world wherein all of society is consumed with the building of a giant mountain,” he explains. “The only problem is they have to dig a big hole in order to build it, and they have to live in the hole. I wanted something monolithic and simple to hang the album around, an easy but strong metaphor that can be applied to a number of things.”

A potent metaphor, while the narrative presents a dystopian universe, the album is not without its lighter moments. As Jonathan puts it, “It’s not as anxious as some of our earlier albums. Yes, I worry about the future and also the present, but I don’t think I’m alone in that. ‘Mountainhead’ has quite a few moments of revelry and fun, somewhat divorced from reality, perhaps. I never want to make a record that’s one tone, and my life has been fun and happy recently, so there is less negativity coming out of me in the music. I’d say a lot of our records are more like warnings than despair.”

Their lead single, ‘Cold Reactor’, serves as a doorway into this alternate universe, exploring the human cost and the complexities of digital communication. “Isolation and communicating through symbols and screens is talked about a lot,” Higgs notes. A portrayal of the modern digital age, where a performative projection of emotion replaces genuine human interaction, it turns out the subject matter is quite literal. “The term “cold reactor” is how I’m describing a user of social media or digital communication rather than a nuclear power station. One who types a crying laughing emoji but does not laugh.”

“I never want to make a record that’s one tone”

Jonathan Higgs

Not new to experimentation, Everything Everything’s previous work ‘Raw Data Feel’ incorporated AI into the creative process. At the time an innovative, experimental approach that quickly became a sort of unnerving present, it’s something that doesn’t permeate ‘Mountainhead’. “We felt as though it wouldn’t be interesting to do it now,” Higgs admits, highlighting the rapid evolution of technology and its integration into our lives. “We used AI to write a few lines here and there on ‘RDF’, and make the artwork, but within a very short time, it became very commonplace to use things like ChatGPT and MidJourney, so we felt as though it wouldn’t be interesting to do it now.”

“It isn’t particularly interesting in terms of creating things,” he continues. “It can’t give you a proper idea; it can only hint at things. We have a lot of ideas going on already and haven’t felt the need for it. It can be useful to augment, but not really create.”

However, that interest in technology remains. “I think the next big innovation is incorporating the user into the medium, for example, films that are personalised to the individual. Like a game. Everything will become like a game.”

‘Mountainhead’ was forged amidst the latest set of challenges to arrive thanks to our good friend ‘the pandemic’, in a way that so many bands may yet find over the coming months. “It knocked us right out of sync with the usual timings of an album cycle,” Higgs recalls. “We never found our feet properly. So we had to make certain we got the album out at the time we will. This meant a lot of late nights – particularly for Alex [Robertshaw, guitarist] as he produced this album.”

The hard work was worth it, though. Asked if there’s one track Higgs is especially eager for fans to hear, his answer is pretty straightforward. “There is a song called ‘Dagger’s Edge’ which has some good lines.”

In the world of Everything Everything, albums are more than just a collection of songs. They’re an exploration, a question, and sometimes a warning. For ‘Mountainhead’, while the overarching theme is dystopian, it’s rooted in our current realities – capitalism, religion, celebrity worship, and digital disconnection.

But, as Higgs points out, the music comes first. “Musically, we never really put the concept before the song; it has to be a good song on its own first – even if the lyrics are nonsense to begin with. Once we feel good about the songs, we can thread in the larger concept.”

“Nobody actually wants to hear a concept album; they want to read one,” he says, emphasising that while the content is important, the music shouldn’t be overshadowed.

This might be their seventh outing, but Everything Everything are showing no signs of plateauing. Instead, they continuously reimagine and rediscover their sound, presenting fresh narratives that captivate and resonate. With the album’s release set for the new year, the band stands ready to climb new heights, challenging us to follow along.

hi, it's me the anon whose brain got infested by dreamer's envy!reader

my small headcanons for them are that their blankets are knitted by them and that they do it to pass time with some repetitive activity but over time come to enjoy it (and that maybe it's a hobby(?) they started after getting on express) and as their time on the express went by they made everyone on the express a blanket with little personalised designs or colours. also because I'm a sucker for astral express family I like to imagine that since the loud dreams are the unpleasant/unwanted ones(I hope I understood/interpreted it right) if they sense/know somebody on the express had a bad dream they either wait for them with some comfort items or bring them to this person's room. so that's that

if it's alright and you're up for it to answer 9, 12 and 13 from the ask game about them?

omg hello again anon!! THANK YOU FOR THE HCS... truly they have infected ME right back!!!

i love the idea that they knit their blankets themselves... i'm having visions of them taking up knitting shortly after joining the nameless (their first needles and a few balls of yarn supplied by either himeko, welt, or both of them!!) and they start to knit in the parlor car or their room while everyone else sleeps!!

they absolutely provide comfort on the express to whichever of the nameless need it!! though i think they can be really coy about it if they determine that's the way the recipient will best receive it (stares at dh and shakes him). they WILL be waiting outside of march door when she dreams of endless chill and void with a cup of cocoa with extra marshmallows and a list of films you could watch. whereas with stelle, you probably end up play wrestling in the middle of the night (and losing lol) to her to get out some loose energy.

as for your questions hehe :3c

9. what are your character’s idle animations?

- 1) they do a big, stretching yawn with their hands above their head. they cover their mouth at the end and give a little wave over it!

- 2) anon im really loving knitting as part of their kit hehe one of their idles would have to be them toying with some knitting needles!! just idly flipping them back and forth. i'm imagining if they were a real character they'd be on their model visibly, like attached to a belt!!

12. what is their talent?

[sleep alluding, dream eating]

for the first three rounds of combat, they apply weaken to enemies and an attack buff to their companions. this buff can be retriggered after the first three rounds of combat by allowing hit points to hit zero. each time hit points hit zero, the effect will take effect for another round.

13. what is their technique?

[sacha's yawning embrace]

if they activate their technique within a certain radius of the enemy, they are temporarily stunned. i'm imagining there is some cool effect on the screen too...!!

Ferrari: Adding Style and Protection to Your Super Car

Transform Your Ferrari into a Work of Art

Owning a Ferrari is more than just owning a car; it's a symbol of luxury, speed, and good taste. When you drive a Ferrari, heads turn, hearts race, and the world takes notice. With such a prestigious vehicle in your possession, it's essential to keep it looking its best. That's where Wrapart based in Birmingham comes in. With their expertise in car wrapping, they can transform your Ferrari into a work of art while protecting its original paintwork. In this article, we will explore the benefits of wrapping your Ferrari and why Wrapart is the go-to destination for this transformative service.

The Art of Wrapping

Car wrapping has become increasingly popular in recent years, allowing car enthusiasts to personalise their vehicles with unique designs. When it comes to luxury vehicles like Ferrari, wrapping takes on an entirely new level of elegance. Imagine cruising down the streets in a Ferrari adorned with a custom, eye-catching design that perfectly reflects your personal style. With car wrapping, the possibilities are endless.

Protecting the Luxury

Ferrari owners understand the importance of preserving their vehicle's original paintwork. While the factory finish is durable, it is susceptible to scratches, rock chips, and fading over time. By applying a high-quality car wrap, you create a protective layer that shields your Ferrari's paint from these imperfections. This means you can enjoy the thrill of driving your Ferrari without worrying about the inevitable wear and tear that comes with it.

The Wrapart Difference

When it comes to wrapping a Ferrari, it's essential to choose a professional and experienced team. Wrapart Birmingham has earned a reputation for their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their team of skilled technicians understands the intricacies of working with high-end vehicles like Ferrari. They have developed techniques that ensure a seamless, flawless wrap every time. With Wrapart Birmingham, you can trust that your Ferrari is in the hands of experts who will treat it like the piece of art it is.

The Benefits of Ferrari Wrapping

1. Protection against the Elements

Car wraps are more than just a pretty face for your Ferrari. They provide an additional layer of protection against the elements. Whether it's harsh sunlight, rain, or road debris, the wrap acts as a buffer, keeping your paint safe and sound underneath.

2. A Reversible Change

Unlike a traditional paint job, wrapping your Ferrari allows you to make a change without any permanent alterations. If you decide to sell your Ferrari or simply want a new look, the wrap can be easily removed, revealing the pristine original paint underneath.

3. Unlimited Design Options

With car wrapping, you have the freedom to choose from a wide range of design options for your Ferrari. Whether you prefer classic elegance or bold and modern, Wrapart Birmingham can bring your vision to life. From sleek matte finishes to vibrant patterns, the only limit is your imagination.

4. Resale Value Preservation

By protecting your Ferrari's original paintwork with a car wrap, you are also preserving its resale value. A well-maintained exterior will always attract potential buyers and command a higher price when the time comes to part ways with your beloved vehicle.

Your Ferrari deserves the very best, both in terms of style and protection. With car wrapping services from Wrapart Birmingham, you can give your supercar a personalised touch while safeguarding its original paintwork. From the moment you hit the gas pedal, heads will turn, and people will marvel at the unique beauty of your wrapped Ferrari. Trust the experts at Wrapart Birmingham to deliver exceptional results and ensure your beloved Ferrari reflects your individuality and taste. Drive in style, protect your investment, and turn heads with a wrapped Ferrari that is truly one-of-a-kind.

NDIS Web Design

Your website is more than just your online presence—it’s a powerful statement of your brand’s values, vision, and commitment to its audience. For National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) providers, striking the right balance between brand values and user accessibility isn’t just a design challenge; it’s a mission-critical objective. 

This article will help you discover why an NDIS website design is pivotal not just for aesthetic appeal but for building genuine, inclusive connections in the digital sphere.

The Importance of Reflecting NDIS Providers’ Values in Their Website Design

How NDIS providers present themselves online can profoundly impact their overall reach and effectiveness. NDIS website designer, therefore, plays a pivotal role in how these entities are perceived by the public and, more importantly, by the communities they serve.

The NDIS landscape is diverse, encompassing a broad spectrum of services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. It’s not just about offering services; it’s about empowering, enabling, and enhancing lives. 

By effectively leveraging NDIS website design, providers can create platforms that resonate with their audience’s aspirations and needs. This resonance fosters trust, encourages engagement, and ensures potential beneficiaries understand the full scope of services. In essence, your website becomes a bridge between the NDIS provider and the individuals it seeks to assist.

Why One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Work for NDIS Providers

In website design, there’s a growing trend towards customisation and personalisation. This is particularly true for specialised sectors like NDIS providers, where generic solutions often need to represent the nuances and intricacies of the services adequately.

A one-size-fits-all approach to website design can lead to several issues for NDIS providers. Firstly, it risks diluting the provider’s unique brand identity in a sea of generic templates and visuals. This could make it difficult for users to differentiate between providers or fully grasp the unique value propositions of each.

Secondly, NDIS beneficiaries and their families seek tailored solutions that address their needs and challenges. A generic website design might need to adequately communicate the bespoke services and solutions a provider offers, potentially leading to missed opportunities and reduced engagement.

At the heart of this is the need for website design for NDIS Providers to be adaptive, responsive, and deeply rooted in the values of the provider it represents. Tailored web solutions ensure that the platform is user-friendly and genuinely reflective of the provider’s values, mission, and commitment to serving the disability community. By eschewing the one-size-fits-all approach, NDIS providers can better position themselves as genuinely participant-centred entities in the digital space.

Finding the Perfect Balance of Branding and Accessibility

Branding and accessibility often intersect in ways that many don’t anticipate. While it’s essential to have a website that resonates with a brand’s values, it’s equally crucial to ensure it is accessible to all its potential users. 

At 21 Webs, we understand the nuances of NDIS website design and how it intersects with branding. Our team works tirelessly to find the perfect balance, ensuring that the brand’s identity shines through while still catering to the diverse needs of every user. Through innovative design approaches, we strive to make every website a harmonious blend of brand representation and user accessibility.

Catering to Users with Disabilities

A profound understanding of user needs and experiences lies at the heart of outstanding website design. Designing with empathy means going beyond aesthetics and functionality; it’s about genuinely understanding and catering to the unique needs of users with disabilities. As dedicated NDIS website designer, 21 Webs emphasises this empathetic approach. 

We invest time in user testing and ongoing feedback to ensure our designs resonate with and serve the needs of those with disabilities. In a world where the internet is a primary source of information, connection, and services, we are steadfast in our commitment to creating inclusive and barrier-free websites for all.

Ensuring Your NDIS Services Are Accurately Portrayed Online

A well-crafted NDIS website design goes beyond aesthetic appeal. It clearly represents the services provided, ensuring users have an accurate understanding of what they can expect. A thoughtfully designed website speaks volumes, emphasising the trustworthiness and professionalism of the NDIS service provider.

Choosing the right NDIS website designer is a critical step in this journey. A seasoned designer will be adept in creating visually pleasing interfaces and have a keen understanding of the NDIS values, ensuring that your site truly resonates with the audience you aim to serve. At the core of every successful website design is aligning the platform’s look and feel with the brand’s identity, mission, and services.

— match-up trade: jjk.

for @rav--en › match-up trades › the way i instantly knew. the way this clicked in my head. i have a vision, and i stand by it, even if it's on thin ice. i don't care.

your match: ryōmen sukuna.

carnivorous plants; venus flytraps and sundews. expanded horizon underneath your feet. paint stains. ambitious works in progress. heads held high. thick books with pages yellow from promises of knowledge. russian realism. black cats. icicles. flickering candle flame that cannot seem to burn still. hot wax on your skin. latin quotes. steel. tattoos telling stories. unwavering dedication to one's own unconventional cause; blood boiling with intent and power. rawness. no moulds to fit into. haunting caws of crows on the cold winter morning. naked trees withholding the bite of frost and snow, living to see the spring. mutual understanding; shared opinions and views. dry lips. cold shoulders. psychological thrillers. night blooming into dawn. blood or bones. centuries old churches in the dead of night. quarter moons. doing things for the sake of it. following heart's desires.

unconventional, by all means. you possess a great bundle of traits that ryōmen sukuna can respect. it's a compliment — not many manage to earn a nod of his head and delighted curl of his lips. the boldness with which you carry yourself demands his acknowledgement, whether you seek it or not.

romantic may not be the best word to describe the bond, yet something lurks in-between the lines of your interactions. it's the curiosity that gleams in sukuna's crimson eye when he speaks to you, delighted to hear what it is you spit out. beneath a mask of sheer monstrosity, the disgraced one most certainly holds an affinity towards the arts, regardless of their form. your interest in prose and painting alike, as well as your own involvement with the craft, has his attention in a firm grasp. conversations with sukuna are profound and productive, and he does not have a tendency to break his neck looking back into the whirlpool of the past. both of you stand in the present, looking at the horizon at hand. banter is guaranteed, so look forward to having your wits satisfied. or frustrated, perhaps.

your independency goes well with sukuna. a strong shell and tough skin is needed to handle someone such as himself, but it is worth it; he is, after all, a man of great ambitions and an out-of-the-box thrill-seeker. you have what it takes to keep him on his toes, and he has what it takes to claw at your curiosity, engaging in your past-times because they too seem to tickle his fancy.

it's the development of an unique dynamic. well thought-out gifts with underlying messages may not seem like something befitting of sukuna, but you'd be wrong; he can appreciate a witty, personalised present as much as he can craft it — even if his tastes are rather peculiar. touches are raw and individualistic; a language of their own, narrating that which is not to be said with the rolls and twists of the tongue. it's the actions, and not the empty words. it's the trust and respect maintained despite the distance within both time and space. it's the dedication reflected in blunt, uncensored encouragement. and sometimes, it's the bittersweet aftertaste of your favoured genre of coffee; an amused scoff over a clever pun; a love letter written somewhere among the rows of prose shared in the ungodly hour.

the potential for clashing is grand, yes. sukuna's every breath reeks with confidence so overwhelming that it masquerades as sheer arrogance. he is as unforgiving as he can get, and you do not nod your head obediently to that which doesn't appease to your whims. the battle of egos has a great possibility of taking a turn for massacre, but a silver lining remains that it has an equal chance of blossoming into something akin to once-in-a-lifetime companionship. that's the thrill of it, no?

perhaps this is what a modern novel would label as power couple. maybe with the smallest, most petite sprinkle of the rivals to lovers trope.

thank you for reading!
