Finally, all caught up with X-men' 97 who's your fave so far? 👉

--- Decided to get back into drawing for myself with a little spin on the Red Bishop design from Marvel comics. I was inspired particularly to incorporate Indigenous Australian patterns made by Saretta Fielding into his actual ability typology.

WAIT I HAVE A BETTER ONE. In addition or as replacement to the previous Rick & Grundy ask: Rick’s dad, mom, or both are unexpectedly alive! (Because #superherocomics)…and, joy aside, he now has to awkwardly explain to them that he’s now bffs with the giant mutant guy who killed them.

“Rick, give me the hourglass,” Rex said, reaching out for it. Three years ago, Rick would have refused without thinking, certain that his father’s figure was another of Eclipso’s tricks, even after he’d walked through Blue Valley’s forest with him for most of the day, even with both Chuck and Dr. McNider certain of his identity.  

Two years ago, Rick would have refused without thinking, caught in the throws of the power it gave him and the lung crushing agony that washed over him when he let it go. Four years ago, Rick would have handed it over in a heartbeat. Now he wavered. “ Dad…” “Rick, give it to me and get behind me. Now!” Across the clearing, Solomon Grundy stood, towering over an apple tree sapling half in bloom.  Like Rick, he wavered, a foot scuffing forwards, backwards. “No.  He’s… he’s a friend. It’s ok, see?” Rick  took a deliberate step. His father’s face paled. “Rick, it almost killed your mother and I, it--it stole twelve years from our family.” Rick tightened his grip on the glass, keeping it steady, the sand on one side.  “No. No, he didn’t. Icicle did, and he’s dead.  Grundy’s not a monster. He’s like me.” “What do you mean, like you? Rick--” “I hurt people, too. Because I was angry, because I was tricked, because I didn’t think I had a choice--so if that makes him a monster, that makes me one, too.”

Something about smoking. Something about smoking *with Eddie*. It might be a joint you're smoking, or a cigarette. It doesn't really matter. What matter is that you're hands are too cold, too red, shaking too much to hold the cigarette still and it slips out from your fingers down to the grey-green ground. It lays there, over all the leaves. What matter is that Eddie picks it up for you, back bent softly infront of you and gives it back to you, your fingers brushing. He stands infront of you and you put the cigarette to your lips, reaching out for the lighter again. He stops you, simply and quick with a 'let me'. He put his hand around the cigarette, turning it upwards, making it straighter. Your teeth clamps down immediately at it, not letting it go, not letting it leave your mouth. He puts the matches onto the cigarette and the lighter's light flickers and for a moment the only thing you see is Eddie.

Eddie, with his curly long hair that falls way too often into his eyes. Eddie, with his self-made jeansjacket and patches of bands on his pants. Eddie, who is now staring at you with a focused look- trying to light the cigarette up. Eddie who, with the shadows around him, standing in the shadow of the old factory, looks like a villain from a superherocomic. (When Eddie said he knew a spot you hadn't expected it to be the ruin of an industry). Eddie, who stands close, close to you, you feel the warmth of him body cluster onto yours.

"Its wet," he simply says and you nod at him. The "of course its wet, it has been on the ground, everything is wet right now" from you gets unsaid. The things this man makes you do. He fishes up a new one, it shines orange and small in the grey afternoon, from the packet he keeps in his shoes. You let the wet cigarette fall from your teeth onto the wet ground, the wet leaves and you stomp on it, presses it down, down to the ground with your boot. He hands you the new one and you take it, your fingers slightly brushing against eachother. Puts in your mouth, gestures for the lighter and he hands you it. You grab the lighter, clicks on the button over and over again but it doesn't light.

"It doesn't light," You say, complaining and scoffing.

"Lemme try." He says and you passes him it. You're standing close, close, you feel his breath on your cheek, you feel the warmth of his body onto yours. The warmth of his fingers on your cheekbone as he holds you into place, the cold of his rings. The lighter coughs and flickers before finally, finally, lighting in a stable light so your cigarette can be lit. It lights up and you inhale the smoke from it, taking it out, blowing it out.

"There," he says and steps back. You chuckle.

"It likes you more than me." You say, newlit cigarette in your hand, wet leaves and mud around your feet and an Eddie Munson close to your body.

He smiles. "Well it is mine, after all, so-"

"I bought it for you!" You had, infact, bought it for him. But he was with you when you chose it, saying yes to the good ones and no to the bad ones. You had scoffed that entire afternon. It ended with a darkgreen one. He had picked it out, a belated birthday present, but you had bought it. Taken it up from the plastic bag as soon as you got out from the store and passed it to him with a 'happy birthday eds'. He had smiled that cheeky tilted smile, slid it down in his pocket and said 'thanks man'.

It's a grin now, on his face. That tilted, cheeky one that makes you go apeshit when you're mad. He shrughs. "Tough luck?"

You laugh.

(He warms your hands on the bus home, warm hands against cold. He calls you a fridge and you laugh and say "if I'm a fridge then you're a radiator goddammit". He chuckles and you lean against him, head against shoulder and plays with his hair- curling it up in your fist and uncurling it again. He let's you do it, with a smile and closed eyes, his head against yours, and you watch the orange leaves, the wet ground and the dead trees of the outside pass you by as the bus drives on)

Constructive criticism: Dragonball Evolution

Ah yes, Dragonball Evolution.

Back in 1984 Mangaka Akira Toriyama created Dragon Ball, a manga inspired by the classical 16th-century Chinese novel: Journey to the west, which became a big hit.

Many years later, in the 2000s, Hollywood realized that not just western superherocomics can be turned into movies and milked for money. And so, 20th Century Fox (as they were called before Disney devoured them) bought the movierights to Dragon Ball and tried to make a live-action movie out of it. The film began development in 2002.

Stephen Chow was approached to direct the film, and although he said he was deeply interested because he is a fan of Dragon Ball, Chow declined the chance to direct. Instead, he accepted a role as a producer via his company Star Overseas. Chow`s reason for his decision is that he believes that he should only direct stories he had created. Robert Rodriguez, Mark A.Z. Dippé and Zack Snyder were offered to direct but passed. 20th Century Fox then went on to send the script to writer/director James Wong who accepted. Ben Ramsey, the movie`s writer, wrote the first draft which was deemed too expensive to shoot, and in the end, he wrote about five different drafts of the script following notes from the studio. James Wong wrote the last draft, again according to notes from the studio, but decided to remain uncredited as the co-screenwriter. James Marsters, who was cast as the movie`s villain Piccolo, was a big fan of the manga. Justin Chatwin, who was cast as Son Goku, prepared for his role by reading several volumes of the manga and even the novel it was based on.

When the movie finally came out it was... not good. It wasn`t very faithful to the source material. But if you ignore the sourcematerial (like the movie did) it wasn`t good even standing on it`s own. Characters and plot were both pretty bland and the CGI didn`t look very good. You could tell that this was rushed and made on an unnecessarily low budget.

This movie was made when Tom Rothman was one of the big guys at 20th Century Fox, infamous for micromanaging and rushing movies. Remember, this was the same studio that gave us X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Before the film's release, Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama suggested fans treat it as an alternate universe version of his work. In a 2013 interview with Asahi Shimbun, Toriyama revealed that he had felt the script did not "capture the world or the characteristics" of his series and was "bland" and not interesting, so he cautioned and gave suggestions for changes. But the Hollywood producers did not heed his advice, "And just as I thought, the result was a movie I cannot call Dragon Ball."

So... if I had a wish-granting dragon that would allow me to travel back in time and change this movie... what would I have changed?

Son Goku

Nothing against Justin Chatwin, but like I said in my CC of Shyamalan`s Last Airbender; In a time where there are so few roles for asian actors to play, why cast a white actor to play a character who`s name clearly screams "I`m asian! I`m asian!"?

Also: I`d make his personality more like how it was in the Manga: a naive guy who loves food, fighting and improving his fighting skills.

Plot

It starts with a short little man (Prins Pilaf) and his helpers (Shu, an anthropomorphic dog in a ninja outfit and Mai, a black-haired, human woman) finding an ancient teapot, hidden in a wall in a temple. After this we get a little exposition in the form of old, Japanese paintings and a voice-over.

The narrator tells us that according to the old legends there are seven mystical orbs known as "Dragon Balls" in the world. When assembled, they could be used to summon Shenron, a mighty dragon who would grant one wish to the one who summoned him. After the wish is granted, the Dragon Balls are scattered again across the world and become inert for one year.

There once was a powerful devil known as Piccolo who wanted to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world. He fought and lost to a great fighter who used a secret technique to imprison him in a teapot (like the one we saw earlier). And so, the world was saved... at least for a while.

The present: We see a house, about 40 feet away from the house there`s a giant footprint, it looks like it has been there for a few years. In the backyard of this house we see a teenage Son Goku (16 or 17 years old) practicing martial arts. Then he does some other stuff like chopping wood with his bare hands and cooking and eating food. He tells a crystalball with four stars in it: "My first day at school tomorrow granpa. Wish me luck." He goes to sleep.

Next day: Goku, being homeschooled by his granpa his entire life, is a fish out of water. The ugly furbelt that he has around his waist isn`t helping either.

Two bullies harass a meek little guy. Chi-Chi, a girl walking the hallway with her best friend sees them and wants to stop them. Her friend tells her: "No Chi-Chi! Remember what the principal said, if you get in one more fight you`ll be expelled!"

Chi-Chi considers this for a second... then decides to help the little guy anyway, she refuses to stand by when someone is being bullied. Fortunately she doesn`t have do anything because the bullies get distracted by a new guy with crazy, untamed hair, an ugly belt made out of fur who looks completely lost; it`s Son Goku. The bullies try to mess with Goku but he beats them up with zero effort. Later, Goku and Chi-Chi meet in the school cafeteria. They talk a little and Chi-Chi offers to help Goku with his studies so he won`t fall behind. Montage: Chi-Chi helps Goku with his studies, they practice martial arts together and other stuff. Goku reveals to Chi-Chi that the ugly furbelt he keeps wearing is actually his tail, this is why he`s been home-schooled for most of his life. He tells her that once, when he was little, another kid pulled his tail and it weakened him, so the tail is basically his achilles heel. That`s why he has it around his waist so that people can`t easily grab it.

Later in the evening, elsewhere: A girl with her hair dyed blue, about Son Goku`s age, appears to be looking for something. She has some kind of hand-held radar. She wears some kind of utility belt around her waist and stands next to a car.

Saturday: Goku decides to go fishing and meets the girl with blue hair, her name is Bulma and she tells him that she`s looking for something that could lead to a breakthrough in the field of renewable energy. Goku invites her to his house where she finds that he has a Dragon Ball. She pulls out her own two Dragon Balls and holds them close to Goku`s. The closer the Dragon Balls are to each other the stronger the energy that they emit get. Bulma believes that if she can get all Dragon Balls together she can tap them for a source of unlimited energy. And if it turns out that the old legends about a wish-granting dragon being true then heck, she could just wish for an unlimited energy source. Goku is unwilling to part with the only memory he has of his grandpa but Bulma makes a deal with him, he can join her in her search for the other Dragon Balls, and as soon as she has gotten what she wants he`ll get his four star Dragon Ball back. It`s a deal.

Goku: "Wait, is there any full moon tonight?"

Bulma (checks her digital calender): "No. Why?"

Goku: "Bad things happen when there`s a full moon"

Bulma: "Like what?"

Goku: "That giant footprint outside my backyard. It was caused by a giant monster who appeared when there was a full moon. It stepped on my grandpa and... crushed him."

Bulma: "...Oh."

They go outside. Bulma takes out a capsule from her utility belt, pushes a button on it and drops it on the ground. The tiny capsule turns into a car, Goku is amazed. They get in and drive away. They meet Chi-Chi, Goku tells her everything, Chi-Chi is intrigued and joins them. Road Trip!

Elsewhere, a rural town: People are doing their things, hanging up laundry, old ladies are gossiping, children are playing. One of the kids sees something in the sky; an airship. A Red Ribbon Army airship to be precise! (In this version the Red Ribbon Army works for Pilaf.) Piccolo, an old, green, bald, pointy-eared man with antennaes on his forehead is on board this airship. He senses that this town is hiding a Dragon Ball. He raises his hand, charges it with energy and fires. A quarter of the town is destroyed, people run in panic. Piccolo is disappointed in himself, back when he was in his prime a blast like that would have been enough to destroy the entire town.

Prince Pilaf: "Don`t worry, when we have all the Dragon Balls you can wish yourself young again, and then help me take over the world."

Piccolo: "Yes... Of course."

(Piccolo has no intention of helping Pilaf, as soon as he has gotten his full strength back he`ll throw out Pilaf like yesterday`s garbage and take over the world himself.) Piccolo fires more energy blasts at the town, he hates to leave a work half-done.

Act 2: Elsewhere, in the middle of nowhere: Bulma stops the car, she, Goku and Chi-Chi get out and stretch their legs. There is a Dragon Ball not far from where they are. They enter a cave, inside the cave is a temple. We get something similar to the beginning of Raiders of the lost ark and they get their next Dragon Ball.

Bulma takes out a capsule that turns into a futuristic house. They will set up camp here for the night. Little do they know that they are being watched... by Yamcha, a thief, and his shapeshifting, Pokémon-like cat sidekick named Pool. Goku goes to hunt for food, Bulma thinks he`s an idiot since they already have food with them, but Goku is not much for that prepackaged microwave stuff, with it`s tiny little portions and prefers to do it his way. When he is gone Yamcha and Pool sees this as a perfect opportunity to strike. They sneak in and try to steal as much as possible but are discovered by Bulma and Chi-Chi who defend themselves. Yamcha and Pool gets the upper hand but then Goku comes back with a wild boar the size of a car and beats them. Yamcha and Pool flee. Goku, Chi-Chi and Bulma hear the sound of someone clapping their hands, it comes from an old, bald, bearded man wearing clothes with turtle motif. Bulma thinks he looks familiar. The old man saw them fighting and is impressed by Goku`s fighting style and wonders who taught him. Goku tells him that it was his grandpa, Son Gohan. The old man recognizes that name, he was his old classmate back when he studied martial arts. He wonders what his old classmate is doing these days and is a little saddened to hear that he`s dead. The old man offers to teach Son Goku and reveals that his name is Master Roshi. Bulma recognizes that name!

Bulma: "You`re that peeping tom! You spied on women in the bath house a few years ago!"

Master Roshi: "That... that wasn`t me! You... must be thinking about... a completely different person! Who is definetly not me!"

A little later Goku eats his boar and shares it with Master Roshi who shares some stories with him. He tells him that when he was young he studied under the great Master Mutaito, who in turn studied under Master Korin. He shows Goku a "cool trick" that he learned from his old master: an energy projection attack called the Kamehameha. Goku really wants to learn that technique. Bulma and Chi-Chi refuses to let Roshi sleep in the same house as them. Roshi is OK with that and takes out his own capsule that turns into an RV.

Next day: A little montage of the gang travelling and Master Roshi helping Goku to improve his fighting skills. Goku tries several times to do a Kamehameha but fails, Roshi tells him to be patient, it takes time. All this time they are being followed by Yamcha and Pool.

They reach the town that Piccolo destroyed earlier. Yamcha is devastated, his uncle lived there! He joins Goku`s gang, now they have a common enemy.

Their journey continues. Goku and Yamcha trains under Master Roshi. Goku keeps trying to do a Kamehameha, he is doing slightly better now. After hours of focusing he manages, for a fraction of a second, to create a tiny little spark. Yamcha and Bulma bonds a little.

The gang reaches a temple carved out a mountain. Master Roshi has a bad feeling about this, he believes something bad will happen. Mai, Shu and several soldiers from the Red Ribbon Army show up. Fightscene. (Bulma is not a martial artist like the others, but she has guns though.) Piccolo emerges from the temple opening holding a Dragon Ball in his hand. Master Roshi recognizes him. He`s the devil that his old Master Mutaito sealed away years ago! (We get a little flashback: Roshi and Son Gohan were in their mid-twenties when it happened. The technique that defeated Piccolo took so much strength out of Mutaito that it cost him his life.) Yamcha, filled with anger, attacks Piccolo and is swatted way as if he was a fly. Goku attacks Piccolo, their fight lasts longer than ten seconds but Goku is defeated, Roshi fights fights Piccolo but is also defeated. Chi-Chi and Bulma knows that they are outmatched. Mai takes their Dragon Balls, the Dragon Radar and all of Bulma`s capsules. Piccolo plans to kill them but Bulma uses a smoke bomb. Chi-Chi takes the Dragon Balls back from Mai, Goku gets up and picks up Roshi and Yamcha. Bulma gets an idea: run towards the temple! They run. Mai takes back the Dragon Balls from Chi-Chi. Inside the temple entrance Roshi gather what`s left of his strength to fire a Kamehameha that makes the entrance collapse. They are now trapped inside. Piccolo finds their plan foolish, nothing awaits them there except a slow death. He could have finished them off quickly. But he can`t stay to do so, he has used up too much power, doesn`t have time to wait and he has their Dragon Balls, so there`s no reason for him to stay. He leaves, Mai and the Red Ribbon Army soldiers follow him. Goku`s gang wait a while to recover their strength and for Yamcha to regain consciousness. Master Roshi uses a kamehameha to clear the debris, after a few blasts they`re finally out. It`s night... and there`s a full moon. Goku sees the moon and starts to change. He transforms into a giant weregorilla with a tail and starts going berserk. Bulma sees the giant footprint that the monster leaves, it looks just like the one in Goku`s backyard. She puts two and two together; the monster that killed Goku`s grandpa... was Goku himself! Chi-Chi remembers what Goku said to her a few days ago, about his tail being his achilles heel. She tells the others that they have cut of his tail! Pool turns into a sword that Yamcha uses to cut the tail off. Goku turns back to his old self. He is exhausted, both physically and mentally, he sees the giant footprint in the ground. He puts two and two together... and faints.

The next day: Goku remains unconscious. Roshi knows what they should do, he takes them to a wooded area where there`s a very, very, VERY hightower. Pool turns himself into a big monkey and climbs the tower with his hands and feet while holding Goku`s unconscious body with his tail. The others climb after him.

Master Roshi: "I`m getting too old for this."

At the top of the tower there`s a round, almost saucer-like building. Inside the building they meet a short, chubby, talking cat carrying a big staff. It takes them a few seconds to realize that THIS is Master Korin. If Roshi is a (dirty minded) Obi-Wan Kenobi Korin is like Yoda. The gang is tired, exhausted and hungry, Korin gives them Senzu beans that restores their stamina, vitality and gives them full nourishment. He performs a telepathic mind-meld with Son Goku. He goes deep into his subconscious and helps him get over the shock and guilt of accidentally killing his own grandpa. (It`s kinda like that episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender with the guru.) Goku finally wakes up, he is hungry.

How are they gonna find and stop Piccolo? They have no Dragon Radar or means of transportation. Korin helps them by giving them a small cloud called Flying Nimbus that can transport them. It`s a very sensitive cloud though, it only allows Goku and Chi-Chi to ride it. Korin also knows where Piccolo is and points them in the right direction. Goku and Chi-Chi flies away on the Flying Nimbus, Pool transforms himself into a big bird that Roshi, Bulma and Yamcha can ride as he flies after the Nimbus.

Act 3: Mai finds the last Dragon Ball at the bottom of the ocean and gives it to Piccolo. Now he has all seven!

Prince Pilaf: "Now you can help me take over the world!"

Piccolo: "About that... I lied."

Piccolo plans to throw Pilaf overboard but Mai and Shu stands between him and Pilaf.

Mai: "If you want Pilaf..."

Shu: "... You`re gonna have to go through us!"

Piccolo: (shrugs) "OK."

He casually tosses all three of them overboard like they were yesterday`s garbage. They land in the ocean and survive. Piccolo gives a meaningful look to the soldiers around him. They gulp and understand that they are now under new management and quickly adapt to that fact. Piccolo takes the Dragon Balls, jumps off the ship and lands on the ground. He summons the mighty Shenron and speaks his wish. Shenron makes him young again. Piccolo gets ready to destroy Shenron but Goku arrives in the nick of time and interrupts him. Shenron disappears, the Dragon Balls fly up in the air and scatter. Piccolo and Goku fight. The Red Ribbon soldiers try to assist Piccolo but Chi-Chi fights them to prevent them from doing so. Unfortunately the soldiers outnumber her, but fortunately Roshi shows up and evens the odds. Pool drops Bulma and Yamcha off on the ship. Bulma runs through the ship looking for her utility belt, Yamcha fights off any guards who try to stop her. Goku keeps fighting Piccolo. Bulma finds her utility belt, takes a capsule that turns into a rocket launcher and fires it at Piccolo. It doesn`t do much damage. Piccolo fires an energy blast at her but Goku jumps in front of her and takes the hit. Goku gets up, musters all his strength and for a moment, it is as if his grandfather is there with him in spirit to give him extra strength. Goku fires a POWERFUL kamehameha at Piccolo.

Piccolo is (seemingly) obliterated and Goku collapses from exhaustion. He wakes up and we get to the movie`s denouement. Since the Dragon Balls have been used and are now inert for a year there isn`t any big, important, adventurous stuff left for the gang to do for a while. Bulma and Yamcha have grown close and plan to go on a date, Roshi leaves in his RV and Chi-Chi suggests to Goku that the two of them should go on a date. As long as their date is in a restaurant Goku is all for it. He and Chi-Chi fly away on the Nimbus.

THE END

Mid-Credit scene: One year later: Bulma, searching the bottom of the ocean in a Mini-Submarine finds Goku`s Dragon Ball with the four stars.

Post-Credit scene: A flashback/dream sequence: Piccolo, standing in a palace above the clouds meets a doppleganger of himself, wearing a white robe with a blue collar. On his robe he has a red colored kanji that means "God". The doppleganger bids him farewell. Piccolo wakes up, injured but alive.

Now, I could stop here... but I wanna pitch the sequels too.

Dragon Ball 2

Nine years have passed. Bulma`s dream of unlimited global energy has become a reality. Goku now has a seven year old son named Son Gohan. Master Roshi has taken in three new students: Krillin, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu. Three aliens called Saiyans visit Earth with plans to take over it, their names are Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz, they look human except they all have tails... Just like Goku used to have! Goku is a Saiyan! Piccolo`s doppleganger reveals himself to Goku and the gang (and is now much older than Piccolo himself). He reveals that he is Kami, the guardian of Earth, he is originally from a planet called Namek. It was he who created the Dragon Balls and that he and Piccolo were once one. If he or Piccolo dies the Dragon Balls will cease to function. Kami also reveals that it is possible to wish a person back from the dead, but a person can only be resurrected once, you only get one chance, not infinite chances. Speaking of Piccolo, he starts to work with the heroes now that they have a common enemy, but he insists it`s only temporary. Anyway, the gang fights the aliens. Piccolo dies in the battle as does Nappa and Raditz. Vegeta survives and leaves Earth in his escape pod.

Dragon Ball 3

Goku and the gang travels to Namek, saves a bunch of Namekians, Vegeta switches sides and Piccolo comes back to life. Goku goes super Saiyan, fights and defeats Frieza.

Dragon Ball 4

A young man from the future, (named Trunks) shows up and warns Goku and the gang about a monster named Cell who will threaten the world in one year. The gang prepare themselves for Cell, but they were not prepared for the three androids (16, 17 and 18) who would show up before Cell. They fight the androids, Vegeta learns how to go Super saiyan, Cell shows up, absorbs the androids and become stronger because of it. The gang fights Cell, and manages to pull android 18 out of him. They fight and defeat Cell.

Dragon Ball 5

Goku and the gang fights a Monster/Demon named Buu.

Aand that`s how I would do it. Not great but hopefully something that Akira Toriyama would be OK with.

It is of course very easy for me to write these because I have the luxury of hindsight. And I didn`t have Tom Rothman standing over me, micromanaging the movie to death and pressuring me to get it made before a deadline.

Why do I write these?

For several reasons. I`m nitpicky. Sometimes the movies I criticize aren`t bad, I just like my own ideas better. Sometimes the movies I critize are bad. I care about good storytelling and it`s a fun excerize in creativity and script doctoring.

But also because I have a lot of of free time.

----------------------------------------------------

Written stuff: 60

Started writing this 2024-07-13

I`ve had this on my to-do list for a while now. After I heard of Akira Toriyamas passing I felt that now is the time for me to start writing this, but then for some reason I did my little CC/movie pitch of Spider-Man in the MCU instead. This was originally gonna be my Written stuff number 59.

Comments are appreciated.

Other movies on my Constructive Criticism list that you can look forward to

Supergirl (1984) Jonah Hex (2010) The Spirit (2008) The Dark Knight trilogy

And as usual: English is not my first language, so if my writing doesn`t seem to flow naturally, you know why.

You can find me on artstation. Also: My sister has a patreon if you`re interested.
