#pokemon scarvio headcanon

[transsexualunderground]

I think the fact that the scarvio protag is shorter than everyone, counterintuitively, did not make me read all the characters as older than my protag, but instead it just made me think "Ah, usual being shorter than all my friends bullshit"

in conclusion my protag is near the same age as the rival(?) trio but is just... short

florian's always struggled to make friends so he didn't really have any back in galar... uh, actually — it might be more accurate is that he USED to have one...

headcanon explanation + bonus under the cut!

like mentioned above, florian has always struggled a lot with making friends. while he's a kindhearted and friendly kid, he can come across as kinda intense to others, ( especially when discussing his interests, ) and that's led to him often being alienated amongst his peers. though he's grown used to being by himself and has learned to not care if others dislike him, he still hopes that he can find at least a few people to connect with outside of his family. it's a hope that's always been present, ever since he was growing up in wyndon.

of course, he wasn't the only loner amongst his childhood peers. around 7 years old, he found a friend in bede fee, who attended the same primary school as him. bede themself wasn't exactly the friendliest kid out there and often had spats with people who made fun of them for their family's low-income status, but florian managed to get them to warm up to him. the two got along pretty well and found comfort in having a friend that seemed to understand them, both being lonely kids who were often picked on by others. after a while, they became pretty much inseparable as they frequently played, read, and laughed together. to florian, it didn't matter that people picked on him just as long as he had bede there to be his friend. bede shared a similar sentiment... at least, at first he did.

admittedly, florian has a habit of resting on his laurels when it comes to things he doesn't have an interest in improving. ( it doesn't matter if he isn't as good of a battler as his sister, all he needs is to be strong enough to keep himself safe during field research. it doesn't matter if he's ostracized amongst his peers and looked down upon, he's alright as long as he has someone to call a friend. etc, etc. ) bede, however, couldn't keep themself from caring about their place in the pecking order. they were sick of others looking down on them, sick of others thinking they were better than them. they just couldn't understand how florian could stand people treating him poorly without getting angry. over time, frustration and resentment towards his attitude festered inside them. these feelings were only exacerbated by their struggles at home and being sent to the orphanage. while they would still call each other friends, their bond had definitely become strained.

everything came to a head when they were both 11 years old, when rose visited bede's orphanage and his acknowledgement caused a major shift in their personality. after all, someone that important seeing their potential surely meant that they better than their peers, right? they soon became much more pompous and rude in nature. florian still stayed close by despite bede's worsening attitude towards him, but it wasn't before long until all of their pent-up feelings came flooding out. their friendship ended with massive fight, with bede telling florian that they were sick of being weighed down by an " annoying pest " like him. while they expected for him to take their cruel remarks in stride like he always did with everyone else, bede couldn't help but feel a little guilty when florian ran off in tears. the two stopped talking after that fight and ever since then, there's always a worry in the back of florian's mind that his friends will eventually get sick of him like bede did. ( thankfully, the friends he's made since then have helped make him feel a lot more secure in their relationships. )

apologies for the long-winded explanation, here's the bonus i promised to make up for how sad this hc got :

the goofy ass side effect of coming up with this headcanon is realizing that they accidentally shaped each others' taste in guys rip

[frutifrantastic]

I like to believe that once upon a time he had reddish hair, like those white carnations with red hues at the tips.

Mr. laboratory prof. who devoted a lot of time to the study of Tera shards. he occasionally broke his glasses by falling asleep on top of them and began to increase the glasses's lens due forcing his eyesight day by day...

At least he never missed his authentic running from one place to another haha

[souenkun]

I loooove the jp fandom's headcanon that geeta and larry are childhood friends who met during their time in the academy and, sometime in the future, geeta personally recruited larry to work for the paldean pokemon league, as she must be one of the first people who knew of his prowess in pokemon battling! Like yeah, the whole geeta being a "strict boss who is frustrated by larry's stubborn insistence to be an average worker that she has to assign him different workloads just to broaden his horizon" idea is intriguing, but stepping it up a notch by making geeta be the "best friend a.k.a the only one who has seen larry at his very best and his very worst, and knows for a fact that he could excel at anything he put his mind into if he steps out of his comfort zone, so she doesn't particularly drag him out of said zone, but pushes him out of it each time she can because she can't bear to see her best friend be unaware of the good chances and positive things that awaits him out there, not if she has a (small) say in it" is also downright hilarious 😭🤚

[elllteo]

I think Larry and Hassel and Brassius are boyfriends but the dynamic is so...

Hassel and Brassius (artsy drama kids at heart. But also just. Like openly.) are always hyping up their lame ass normie boyfriend.

And he IS just lame and normal. He's not particularly talented at anything other than The Grind

And after talking with a friend we agree he probably doesn't have time or energy for many hobbies. But I think he'd enjoy cooking.

And naturally true to form, he wouldn't be Great at it...just average. But Hassel and Brassius would hype him up soooo much they'd be so supportive. Hassel gets him a "kiss the cook" apron for his birthday but he also paints on cute little designs with fabric paint...and brassius gets him fancy designer pots and pans and utensils he embellished in one way or another.

Meanwhile Larry is in the kitchen like "I made slow cooker meatloaf today :)" and they both applaud him like stunning work. Fucking fantastic you funky little business boy.

Pokemon AU Day 13! :D

Me like arven, we love arven

I would kms for this man

You expect me to act normal when this was dropped. I WAS ON MY KNEES.

[giggly-squiggily]

Ohohooo heres a good one for ya!

Pokémon Scarlet/Violet headcanon: since Koraidon and Mabosstiff have known each other for some time, they're like their own little tag team, and so while Arven and MC (guy or girl ur choice) are chatting at the picnic table, the duo decide to initiate a tickle attack!

The rest is up to u! Good luck my friend 🫶🏾😋✨️

(Headcanons to Dabbles: OFFICIALLY CLOSED)

Gladys this is PERFECT! :D I love this HC so much holy kjakjakjrekrkjajrkejk And Arven!!! To get to write for him again is such a delight! I've gotcha covered, friend! :D I decided to go with Juliana for this one cause- well; I just really like her hehe

Massostiff looked across the way at Koriadon, eyes glittering as their plans solidified. Their trainers were sitting just a few feet before them, laughing about this and that as they finished off the last of their picnic.

“I was like- “Stop! Koriadon! We can’t climb that yet!” Juliana laughed around her soda, the memory of her rider scaling the wall and sliding down repeatedly ever hilarious.

“Oh gosh- that’s so Massostiff! He used to love chasing Sprigatito up trees- Oh, hey there boy.” Arven looked down fondly at the dog as he laid his head against Arven’s leg. “Whatcha up to?”

The Pokemon merely huffed, closing his eyes as he nuzzled closer to Arven. Behind her, Juliana could feel Koriadon sniffing her neck, making her giggle. “Kori- whahat are you- whoa!”

What happened next flew like a flash. Juliana squeaked as she fell back, the picnic table capsized as Koriadon scooted closer. She landed safely on her butt, uninjured.

Alas- she was now in perfect tickle range for her rider.

“Nohohoohooho! Cuhuuhuhut thahahhat ohohohout!” She cried, scrunching up her shoulders and kicking her feet as Koriadon nuzzled and nipped at her shoulders, growling playfully. “Sthahahap it tihihihiickles! A-Aahhahahrhven, hehehehelp!”

“I cahhahahahn’t!” He cried out, voice broken up with fits of giggles as Massostiff climbed on top of him. The older dog was busy licking his face and chin, paws kneading into the soft spots along Arven’s torso and making him squeal and flail like a child. “Mahhahahahsostihihiihff, cuhuhuht it ohohohohut! I meahhahan it! Aehaahahhahaha!”

The pokemon didn’t listen- and if they were, they chose to ignore it. They carried on gently tickling their trainers, barking and growling in glee as Arven and Juliana wheezed and squealed beneath their super effective attacks.

“Coohohoohme ohoohhon, stahahhap! I neheheheheed a sehhehehecond!” Juliana giggled out when Koriadon nuzzled her face, finally getting a break as it rested its massive snout against her shoulder. “Uuhuhuhgh..yohoohu’re toohoho much, you know thahhat?”

The rider made a sound of amusement, licking her cheek and making her giggle. She reached up and scratched gently at it’s chin as she turned back to her companion. “Arven, did you survive?”

“Ugh.” Was all he could make out, flat on his back with an arm over his eyes; obscured by Massostiff wagging his tail and huffing. A few more times he nuzzled his trainer’s arm, barking until he got the headpats he was seeking. “You two…if you wanted a sandwich, you could have just said that!”

The pokemon heads perked up. Arven regretted it immediately.

“No, no no no don’t you dare! I haven’t made it ye-EET!” He tried to wriggle away, but Massostiff and Koriadon were on him once more, searching for said sandwich and leaving Arven fighting for his life in giggles all over again. “Sahhahahahve mehehehhhehe! Juhuhuhuhlahahahhaana!”

“Hehe, okay okay! Here I come!” She got up and dashed over, jumping into the fray and adding even more laughter to the mix. THe picnic table laid turned over in the distance, the remains of their snacks feeding the wild bug types in the area.

Some Kitakami Sibling Headcanons

These are things I wanna expand on more in fanfic (some of these ideas are gonna get thrown into Festival for False Heroes eventually), but wanted to post in the meantime. TW for discussion of domestic violence/child neglect and abuse.

He and Carmine were born in Mitsralton City, two and a half years apart from each other, and lived there till Carmine was 7 and Kieran almost 5. 

Their parents didn’t exactly have the most stable marriage to begin with. They were both very good trainers, and had a chemistry built on that, but also tended to fight, sometimes violently. They weren’t bad people, but they brought out the worst in each other, and disagreed over how to raise the children, both of whom had substantial issues:

Baby Carmine had a temper, and learned to get attention from watching her parents fight. She broke plenty of porcelain plates even in infancy, and the property damage only got worse from there, as she physically couldn’t control herself when she was distressed. 

Baby Kieran was withdrawn, worryingly so, and didn’t speak or respond to his name. For a few months, the family thought he was deaf – then he heard his first thunderstorm, and the cacophony made him cry. 

The siblings’ mother, Michie, was determined that both kids needed some kind of intervention. Their father, who later became notorious under the pseudonym Colress, was certain that they would be fine in their own time, without external help. Michie won enough that both kids got an autism diagnosis and recommendations for behavioural therapy. Colress won enough that neither kid got to attend said behavioural therapy before he left.

As the kids got older, Carmine got rowdier, and Kieran stayed quiet. Colress knew his son could read and understand language, and parented him by giving him books and encyclopaedias to read that were well beyond any small child’s reading level. Colress liked Kieran, but never had the gumption to really be a father to him. Michie tried to calm Carmine down, but to no avail. She loved her daughter, but didn’t know how to deal with her, so, horribly, forced her to ride out her increasingly frequent meltdowns on her own. Both Carmine and Kieran were much worse off for the way their parents utterly failed to connect with them, and in different ways, they’ve both become terrified of being left alone for it. But Kieran learned to cope by withdrawing into fantasy and mythology, as Colress taught him to, while Carmine learned to drive others away before they could abandon her. They grew equally good at isolating themselves, in different ways, for fear of being isolated.

Michie would often call her parents to express her frustration. When Yukito and Hideko caught wind of the fact she and Colress had been fighting physically as well as verbally over this, and realised how horrendously the kids were being treated, they were furious. They were mortified that their grandchildren would be growing up somewhere so precipitously lonely. A year later, when Colress walked out on the family, Hideko and Yukito flew to Unova to collect the kids, wanting to give them a better home life than Michie, in her stranded and desperate state, could provide. 

Kieran was extremely late to talk – he said his first words maybe a week before Colress walked out. While he understood Galarian, he didn’t get much opportunity to practise speaking it before he and Carmine moved to Kitakami. As such, he, unlike Carmine, had to effectively relearn his mother tongue for his first semester at Blueberry, and it’s left him with a light accent, which he later worked to rid himself of during his breakdown. He never quite managed to eradicate it, and it frustrates him to be proficient, rather than fluent, in his mother tongue.

Carmine and Kieran did tend to fight physically when they were younger – they learned to do so by copying their parents. Yukito and Hideko eventually managed to teach them not to, but while the siblings love each other, by god, their fights are acrimonious. Carmine and Kieran haven’t hit each other in at least 3 years, but that’s barely a starting point.

Kieran has a special interest in mythology generally, and knows every different variation on Kitakamian folklore possible. Moreover, he’s scarily aware of the complexities of broader Johtohnian legends, and can pull a twenty-minute infodump on Celebi out of thin air on cue. Asking him about anything relating to old Hisuian creation myths, or the Pearl and Diamond clans’ different deities, will produce a similar deluge of information. Even Unovan mythology fascinates him immensely, and he’s terrifyingly knowledgeable where Kyurem’s concerned. Ogerpon’s tale was always his favourite, though as it’s the one he’d escape into when he felt unseen. 

Part of why Amarys and Carmine get on is that Amarys, despite her need to economise time, is incredibly patient with Carmine. The result is that when Carmine had one of her sporadic meltdowns and lost control of her actions, when Amarys witnessed it, she didn’t question it or scold her, but took her somewhere quiet, and waited it out with her. Carmine feels incredibly grateful to Amarys for that, and as such, she doesn’t feel she needs to be defensive around her so much as she does around others. 

Carmine always has a huge supply of snacks hidden in her room, and she insists on sharing them with Amarys. She tried to share them with Kieran during his breakdown, but he refused to touch them, which was a sign of something being very, very wrong.

Carmine gets surprisingly homesick when she’s at Blueberry, and has been known to call her grandparents at 3am Unova time because she needs company, and doesn’t know where else to reach out. Occasionally, if she still feels awful, or if she feels she can’t call them for whatever reason, she’ll go to Amarys’ room and just sit with her, maybe making conversation, maybe just being there, proving she isn’t alone.

During his breakdown, Kieran tended to train in the Canyon Biome when he couldn’t sleep. Juliana once found him there at 1 in the morning, as she gets horrid insomnia, and tends to explore her surroundings so she can escape the dread of watching the ceiling. While Kieran ostensibly hated her at this point, as this was prior to the championship match, he reluctantly let her roll out a picnic table and make him a sandwich. He scarcely ate any of it, but he appreciated her company, not that he’d be caught dead admitting as much. (He insisted on cleaning up and walking her back to the dorms. Ostensibly, he still hated her, but…)

Carmine and Kieran use their grandfather’s surname in most things, but legally, their surname is Achroma. 

Their mother is still in their life here and there – she meets up with the two of them, and is proud of them both for making it this far, but Carmine remembers how poorly her mother understood her, and tends to get oddly quiet around her nowadays, hoping she’ll approve slightly more now. Kieran gets on horribly with his mother, in that she clearly neither likes him nor understands him, and he feels downright betrayed by her.

Their father is mostly absent, but has, on a couple of occasions, randomly sent books and gadgets to BB Academy, with these books and gadgets all dedicated To Carmine/Kieran – keep working hard!. He knows they’re enrolled there, which means he’s gone out of the way to find that out. The siblings know, vaguely, that he’s out there. Carmine is outwardly resentful of his absence, but secretly wishes she could meet him. Kieran’s bitter, but curious about his father.

Carmine got the mobile phone in the family in part because Kieran tends to hog the home desktop back in Mossui. As of second year, Kieran’s grandparents have yielded and given him a phone, too, so that if he starts to break down again (God forbid), they can contact him directly, instead of having to go through Carmine/the school. He does have an Instagram, and he refuses to accept Carmine’s follow request. 

When Kieran went back to Blueberry after his breakdown, he noticed that the notorious Colress of Team Plasma had a bit of an internet paper trail. Late at night, Kieran would follow this paper trail, working out over the course of weeks that Colress may well be one Mr. Achroma. This prompted mixed feelings, for while Kieran was terrified of his potential to go mad in the pursuit of power again, he couldn’t help but think that his dad, deadbeat and thrice-convicted criminal that he was, was at least a little bit cool.

On a forum where Colress was still periodically active, Kieran managed to reach out and politely ask about his research on strength. He did this half out of genuine curiosity about how to get better as a trainer, half as a way of screaming into the void – are you out there, Dad, and can you hear me?

Unbelievably, Colress responded. Since he’d been able to tell that the message was sent by a kid or teen, but a smart kid or teen who’d clearly actually read his work and gone to the trouble of finding him, he felt impressed enough not to be worried. (To be fair, Colress is incredibly laissez-faire about most things except his research.) As a result, they now correspond periodically. So far, Kieran’s let slip that he’s at Blueberry Academy, and that he’s a second-year, as well as mentioning once that he’s from Kitakami. He does not know whether Colress has connected the dots, but every day, he hopes he will, somehow, and that if/when he does, he’ll show that he still cares (if he ever did at all. And how Kieran hopes Colress did, indeed, care).

Carmine knows about this correspondence. She’s scolded Kieran for it, but she also insists on staying updated on what’s going on. 

Someday, Kieran wants to battle in the PWT. When he gets to that point, he’ll register himself as Kieran Colress, and won’t tell a soul (except Juliana or Amarys) why he’d dare draw his stage name from a notorious amoral scientist.

Can I request Grusha with an s/o who’s always cold

I think grusha is cool

Grusha my beloved

-

-

- Grusha finds it mildly amusing that you’re always cold, especially watching you bundle up before leaving the house, watching you put on twice as many layers with how cold you are.

- Always rolls his eyes before offering his warm hand for you to hold, just don’t make a big deal about it.

- His scarf hides his blushing cheeks, while you swing your intertwined hands.

- Though at home, he calls your coldness and a bless and a curse.

- When cuddling in the heated house, it’s so nice, you’re like a personal cooling blanket for him.

- But you use it for evil.

- He could be sitting on the couch, minding his own business, when you sneak up behind him and place your icy cold hands on his neck.

- Your laugh maybe his favorite thing, but he can’t hear it over his loud swearing and flailing.

- “You evil little shit!”

- You’re still doubling over, crying you’re laughing so hard at his high pitched screech.

- And sulks and pouts for a while, but don’t worry, he’s weak to your own pout.

- He, however, doesn’t hesitate to lend you his scarves and coats, wanting you to be nice and cozy, without you getting sick. He’s very worried.

So I have to request this everyone loves Gusha which is great but Giacomo deserves some love how do you think he'd react if someone he had a crush went abroad and came back to seeing him become a team star leader

A/N: Aight, so I saw Guacamole and fell in love, Queenie can testify. So here we go boiz (Gender Neutral)! Also decided to make the Reader the MC of the series because it just felt right for this.

Rules | Discord Server (16+)

SFW Giacomo: Our Time Apart

He had received the notice about someone wanting to raid them, destroy Team Star. He didn’t want to believe it when he heard the name. Surely it was someone else with the same name. You had gone abroad and he doubted he’d be seeing you anytime soon.

When the sirens blared he felt a spike in anxiety at the thought that it could be you, but he pushed it aside. There was simply no way.

Oh he was wrong.

Very wrong.

When he came out on his Segin Starmobile, his jaw dropped. He watched as you walked out to the field, the shock on your face was apparent.

“Gia?” You managed to shout out, not thinking that he, of all people, would be a member of Team Star. Sure you thought it was weird he didn’t go to school anymore, or that Nemona was now the Student Council president…but this was next level.

Giacomo murmured your name under his breath, before shouting, “W-what are you doing here?” 

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking that? Bro…the fuck?” You asked, looking at the giant pokemon he now rode. Giacomo sighed as he shook his head. He felt his heart beating so fast, he had to will his face not to go red under your gaze. It would appear he wasn’t over that crush on you, yet.

“I’m the leader of the Segin Squad.” Giacomo said as he crossed his arms. You felt a bit bad for what you had to do, but you did promise Cassiopeia that you would do this.

“Well then…guess we’re gonna have to battle, aren’t we?” You said, already grabbing one of your partner pokemon.

“I guess we will.” Giacomo said as he readied himself. If he recalled correctly, you were an exceptional trainer. This wouldn’t be easier, especially with how fast you cleared the base.

“I do have one question…” You said, stopping Giacomo, “A reward if I beat you.”

“What reward are you talking about?” Giacomo said and you smirked.

“Easy, if I beat you, I’m dragging you to the nearest town to grab a coffee. Now ready yourself, I won’t go down easy.” And with that, you left Giacomo overly flustered, debating just throwing the entire match.

I was thinking about the crack trip that is the Pokémon ScarVio TCG manga and how it compares with the depressing plot of the base game, and I’m still not over how in the TCG manga, Turo and Sada just adopt some feral child in the woods and just leave it with their non-Arven child, Retto, because they thought it was cool they shared names.

Nemona hc!

i think nemona has asthma as she's been seen having problems running far distances, not often but it does happen

[ridreamir]

Arven and Volo share a very similar silhouette and are roughly the same height. They both like to travel prepared and seem similar somehow.

Arven has noticed that you sometimes look at him like you've got something on your mind, and your expressions seem to change for split seconds in ways that worry him. You also occasionally hum to yourself or flinch away as if recoiling from whatever had broken your train of thought. He doesn't know what to think of it, but he gets the faint feeling that he's missing something.

Sometimes you forget to think of Volo in the past tense.

✧General Yandere Headcanons✧ — Gym Leader Grusha

Ao3 Request: I'd love to see Grusha headcannons. He already lost his career to his injury, he wouldn't want to lose his darling too.

Warning(s): Possessive Behavior, Overprotective Behavior, Gaslighting/Manipulation, Talk of Near Death Experience (Not with Darling), Attempted Murder

Grusha never really thought he'd feel this way after his perception of the world changed that one fateful day. Life really seemed to enjoy taking a turn on him, huh? He initially thought it was a simple crush that he may grow out of sooner or later. He kinda hoped it did. Don't take it offensively, he absolutely adores you as of now, but Grusha wasn't fully on board when he realized that these feelings weren't so innocent. It's just that he truly believed life wanted to screw with him again when he pinpointed his yandere traits. Are you for real? We can't have nice things apparently...

So he tries to suppress the feelings and even avoid you. He's got gym work to do, maybe he can hang out another time. Grusha puts the excuse that his position as a Gym Leader is crucial since it's what he has left. Sigh, don't look at him like that. This will only last until things pass on and he moves forward from this. Surprise, surprise. It didn't. This makes Grusha frustrated and now he has to deal with what he's feeling, giving him some time to actually put thought into it. A horrible decision that'll get you in the end, honestly.

The whole reason why Grusha couldn't allow himself to gain further feelings for you is because of fear. He is afraid of having something/someone that would truly make him happy again (like back then...) only for the world to take that away. Now that he's thought this through, Grusha has come to the conclusion that he's had enough. You've become someone he wants to desperately hold dearly. So, he is going to do whatever it takes to prevent losing you. He can't allow for anything to happen like last time.

So Grusha is an overprotective and possessive yandere to put it simply. He's automatically on you whenever you're visiting Glaseado Mountain, since, duh, it gets dangerous out there in the cold and you could get injured. Or worse. You don't immediately see anything wrong with his concern/warnings since he is right, there's no arguing with him on that subject. It would only get concerning if he suddenly prevented you from going anywhere else in the mountains unless he's supervising you. He's careful with his actions, but there are times where he kind of treats you like you don't know any better. Force of habit, really. I mean, you can't get too ahead of yourself in life, darling, or else the fall will only just hurt even more.

As for his more possessive traits, Grusha gets...passive aggressive with certain people. Rivals annoy him to no end but the possibility of you choosing someone else over him scares him. So, he's just projecting onto those people with his comments. You at first believe it's just sarcasm or that Grusha is in a bad mood, but if you decide to read into it, you'll be able to tell. Catching him mid comment is frustrating to deal with as he comes up with an excuse. For some reason, you always end up being the one falsely accusing him of being too judgmental. However it's fine, he always forgives you.

In all honesty, yeah, this makes him a little more selfish but he could care less. Life has this funny thing of just taking and taking, which Grusha is fed up with. So now it's his turn to take. Back then, he was too weak willed to push himself back up again. Not anymore. Forgive him, but Grusha is just bitter and taking that out on others. Which explains why he throws passive aggressive comments towards rivals and spouts how you don't know better sometimes. One of the things he doesn't want to appear is clingy around you because of this need to keep you around. It'd be so uncool...seeing him all needy for your presence and attention.

Is he a danger? To others, if given the chance, yeah. Grusha would be a-okay if any rival would be put off by his sarcasm and cynical/pessimistic attitude, but if they're persistent...it gets annoying really fast. The worse thing the person can do is confront him, shout at him even, and that determines what Grusha must do. Sigh, it seems like this person needs a reminder of how cruel the world can be.

You don't hear from them again as you're only informed that they had gotten themselves into an accident, leading to hypothermia and asphyxiation...they can't seem to remember how it even happened (apparently hypothermia has chances of memory loss/amnesia, depending on how severe it is). Grusha mentions that they must of been hit by an avalanche or something. He gives his regards, pointing out how these things happen due to how dangerous the mountains are. This honestly gives more weight to what he has been telling you since the beginning. You really can't be too careful, darling.
