Nice and Lin Ling are white lotus flowers:

White lotus flower (白莲花, bái lián huā) = has two meanings: 1. someone who is genuinely too kind, harmless, and pure. 2. someone who appears pure and harmless outside but is actually scheming and corrupt inside. Online, people often refer to the sarcastic second meaning

Nice should’ve been the first type, and maybe that’s why he jumped to his death. He could no longer handle the lies he was forced to sell through his brand. On the other hand, Lin Ling is going to be the second type. I just know it.

As someone who used to work in advertising, Lin Ling has an advantage in this world where a person’s power is shaped by trust: He knows how to sell himself. He knows how to get people to trust him.

The Lin Ling we see now is still a genuinely nice guy, but I doubt he’ll remain the same after how episode 1 ended.

Why is c-drama tumblr sleeping on Desire Catcher??? There are literally two men who adopt a baby together???? And a level of homerotic devotion that involves the publishing of elegaic online fic and also serial killing????

[3majorursaminor77]

Okay so we all love to talk about what it's like when you want a very specific fanfiction idea written out but you can't find one that fits that niche so you have to take it upon yourself to get it done but by the time you're done writing it you're so sick of it you never want to see it again, right?

But what we don't ever talk about what a miracle it is to leave the fic for a long enough time, for me it's usually years, come back to it and realize you've forgotten most of what you've written and it's basically like you're an outsider stumbling upon this very specific niche fanfiction that just happens to fit the requirements you were looking for for the first time and reading it and enjoying it hugely whilst simultaneously saying to yourself "Wow, I wrote this?? Hot damn!" And basically just fist bumping yourself like this

Anyone else have this happen for them or is it just me??

listen, i love this scene for a very obvious reason, and that is: bai yaxing was betting on luo fengping's anger to kill hu dayong just like he did with tu xiamao and he almost succeeded (and then again when he hypnotized lfp to off himself, using his pain, this time) but byx has miscalculated lfp

true, txm and lfp share the same grief, having lost someone that they love to greed but here's where byx has miscalculated: it's not that lfp's determination and belief is less than txm's (i mean, he betrayed and hurt the people he clearly cares about — who cares about him back — and faked his death and everything to get his revenge, if that's not determination, i don't know what is), it's that byx never considered what else lfp might believe in other than his anger and pain

now this is the part where another favourite scene of mine comes into play:

i think this was the part that truly and finally made lfp stop (i mean, lfp was already ready to stand down when luo fei brought up his mother but luo fei's plea and admission just might have done it)

byx feeds off on people's desires, mostly revenge, but i don't think he ever understood them despite how they all wanted the same thing, and certainly not lfp's, that's why it ultimately failed

i don't think byx ever considered that lfp's desire for revenge could be swayed by lfp's want to protect the people he cares about — as evidenced by the trio's moment by lfp's mother's grave and then that scene with luo fei above

another scene that further proves it:

another thing byx misunderstood about lfp is his love for his mother, byx reduced it to grief and anger and pain (which are easy to take advantage of) when it's also joy and cheer and comfort and a promise — to be good, to be someone with a sense of justice

(ok this has gotten out of hand and probably didn't even need saying but hey have my play money of two cents lmao)

Not AU but just funny thing

So Racetrack (in my head) knows some italian, but specifically, he knows all the swears. And nobody else in the lodging house knows them. When Race gets mad he starts speaking italianish (mix of italian and english) and just starts yelling every curse he knows. So on a random Tuesday afternoon you could walk in and just hear

Race: I SWEAR TO FUCK YOU- FAI SCHIFO TANTO E SAI CHE CAZZO, STUPIDA FIGA, PEZZO DI MERDA, TUA MADRE È UNA PUTTANA E TU SEI TROPPO!! SE MI RUBI IL MIO SIGARO UN'ALTRA DANNOSA VOLTA, LO PRENDERÒ E LO METTErò NEL TUO MISERABILE CULO, PEZZO DI MERDA ROSSO CHE RUBA!!

Albert: U-Um- You- You're a fei kasi scifer stupido troppo too, whatever that means...

(Translation: YOU SUCK SO MUCH AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE F*CK YOU STUPID C*NT PIECE OF S*IT YOUR MOM IS A B*TCH AND YOU'RE ONE TOO!! IF YOU STEAL MY CIGAR ONE MORE DAMN TIME, I'M GOING TO TAKE IT AND SHOVE IT IN YOUR SORRY A*S, RED-HAIRED THEIF PEICE OF SHIT!!")

Hewo! I love your Hcs and writings and I have been following your account for a while, and just wanted to request some Hc's about Nicolas and a extroverted/Sassy S/o!

😭 I like to Hc Nicolas as a Diva by himself but I would like to see how it would be if he had a S/o that could match his freak (and maybe, just maybe, see how/if he would tell them about all of the "Identity theft" stuff)

No pressure tho, I love your works and i will read every single one of them even if you don't do this request! <3

thank you anon for all of the kind words 😭 you guys are just so sweet omg ❤️

ended up not liking my new format so imma stick to my roots

NICOLAS LE BANNER WITH A SASSY! S/O

ྐ❤︎. - being with nicolas would be hard for the normal person, always being energetic and sometimes (all the time) being the star of the show might not be the taste of most people but it is for the two of you.

ྐ❤︎. - nicolas is a very attractive and confident young man and all he needs is someone that can match his energy instead of putting restrictions on him all the time and you do just that!

ྐ❤︎. - you are definitely a fighter or have some type of experience in fighting because how else can you be cocky and right?

“oh you bitch! you’ve done it now..”

the girl who was continuously talking shit about you online was now staggering towards you, probably still feeling drowsy from the punch you gave her. her steps got faster and faster before she started running towards you, simultaneously pulling out a knife.

shank!

you chuckled lightly as the knife the girl was running with was now stuck inside of her

shoulder . you saw the way her eyes widened as she realized what happened making you visibly smile. you leaned into her face, forcing her to look you in the eye before speaking,

“next time, I’ll kill you.”

you pulled the knife out in a smooth and quick motion, letting the female fall to ground screaming before you. you threw the knife in front of her, forcing her to stare at it. you had done what you needed to and you were making your departure before a voice came from the shadows in front of you.

“woah! bravo! excellentement fait!”

the blonde man came out in front of you, slowly clapping as if he was proud of what you had done.

you looked him up and down before letting out breathy chuckles.

“and who are you supposed to be? a spectator? yknow what, i don’t even wanna know, just don’t tell anyone about what you saw.”

the man put a eyebrow up before pouting.

“that isn’t such a nice way to greet someone! i just happened to come across this beautiful fight! stabbing that woman with the same weapon she intended to hurt you with was just splendid!”

“you know, you talk to damn much.”

“but so do you?”

you rolled your eyes before going past him, bumping your shoulder into his.

“oh your leaving already? but there’s so many things i wanted to say to you!” the man turned around to see your figure walking away

you put up your hand and slowly put down all of your fingers until the middle one was the only one remaining.

ྐ❤︎. - and that marks the day he falls in love with you

ྐ❤︎. - lowkey starts to search the whole place for you after you leave and once finds you, he ain’t letting you go

ྐ❤︎. - you two are a match made in heaven. you match his freak so well and i mean that in every aspect.

ྐ❤︎. - you match each others freak so well that when you guys are together people (literally the whole entirety of purgatory) dread it. like you guys are most definitely chaotic together 😭

ྐ❤︎. - trailing off of that, everyone at purgatory probably knows your full name and age 😅 nicolas just YAPS about you to everyone near him

“and have you seen [name] fight? they fight like a-“

“a goddess. you’ve said that three times already and im sick of it.”

“oh come on fei, just let me tell you a little more about them!”

“no.”

“tu es juste jaloux parce que mon partenaire est tellement incroyable.”

“don’t switch over to french now nicolas.”

ྐ❤︎. - nicolas is probably a good boyfriend. key word: probably

ྐ❤︎. - YES you will be doing skincare with him, YES you will be making couple tiktoks, YES he will be following you everywhere, and YES he will fight anyone who badmouths you

ྐ❤︎. - lowkey I feel like nicolas would NAWT care about your personal feelings. he is just like that unfortunately but i feel like if he really warms up to you he will start to care more and more

ྐ❤︎. - you have to be able to listen to nicolas’s rants or he’ll be hurt (you never do, you ain’t gat time for all that)

ྐ❤︎. - if you are as sassy as nicolas, he will be talking shit about other fighters with you and you have to agree with him (you would either way)

ྐ❤︎. - if you aren’t sassy nicolas will be less fond of you in all honesty. he wants someone DIFFERENT like him 😪

ྐ❤︎. - now if you give nicolas in question some of your sass he will definitely be returning that with more efficiency because he lives for the drama and he also won’t allow that disrespect towards him

ྐ❤︎. - now, the big question; would nicolas tell you about his identity theft?

ྐ❤︎. - yes and no. he would definitely mention it by telling you that he wants to introduce you to his best friend before talking again, supposedly being the best friend but he would never come out and say “yeah I took someone’s identity”

ྐ❤︎. - honestly, I feel like nicolas doesn’t see him taking the real nicolas’s identity as identity theft. instead, he sees it as both him and the real nicolas being one in the same so lots of personality disorder over there.

ྐ❤︎. - besides all of that, the biggest downsides of both of you being sassy is that arguments last and for a LONG time

ྐ❤︎. - eventually nicolas will apologize since he doesn’t wanna lose you because your the first fun partner he’s had.

ྐ❤︎. - nicolas has attachment issues. argue with the wall 🙁

ྐ❤︎. - nicolas is a handful sure, but you are too so it’s a match made in heaven!

this one is on the shorter side - super sorry about that! also kinda cringy, i haven’t wrote in a WHILE

Adjective Placement in Spanish Overview

With regards to adjective placement, I know I linked that bigger post I made about what the placement of adjectives generally mean but I'll give a very brief overview and if anyone has any specific questions please let me know.

IN GENERAL for like 70-ish percent of the time, adjectives go behind the noun in Spanish. These are your basic everyday adjectives that just describe nouns; el gato negro "the black cat", la mujer alta "the tall woman", los datos importantes "the important data", las tormentas peligrosas "the dangerous storms"

And again, IN GENERAL, if an adjective precedes the noun it is as if you bolded or italicized the adjective. It makes the adjective really stand out because of how out of the ordinary it is. It's very commonly used in poetry, writing, or for hyperbole:

La cruel realidad = The cruel reality La fea verdad = The ugly truth Mis sinceras disculpas = My sincere apologies Mi más sentido pésame = My most heartfelt condolences/regrets

If you were looking at it more poetically you could think of "blue sky"... el cielo azul "the blue sky" is everyday Spanish, very typical. Saying el azul cielo "the blue sky" draws the eye to azul making it seem like "blue" is the most important or noteworthy thing about it

You typically see this kind of construction in everyday Spanish with expressions of gratitude, grief, horror, deep love, or any very strong emotions or when you're trying to make an impact

(More below)

-

Note: This will impact certain aspects of grammar, such as the nouns that are actually feminine but take a general masculine article such as el agua, el arma, el hada, el hambre, el águila etc.

As an example:

El hada madrina = Fairy Godmother La buena hada = The good fairy

To further explain this rule - el hada is written with a masculine article. This is because it has its vocal stress on the first syllable and begins with A- or HA- [where H is silent]; and treating it as feminine would cause the sounds to run together, so the el adds a kind of phonetic break to preserve the sound; but in plural it will be las hadas "fairies/fey"

A word like this would still retain its normal functions as a feminine word, thus el agua bendita "holy water", el águila calva "bald eagle", el ave rapaz "bird of prey", and then in this case el hada madrina "fairy godmother"

By adding a separate word in front, you interrupt that la + A/HA construction and create a hiatus in the sounds already... so you can then treat it like a normal feminine noun, la buena hada "the good fairy"

You might also see this with grande "big" and its other form gran "great/large", el águila grande "the big eagle" vs. la gran águila "the great eagle"

-

Moving aside from the normal grammar, we now enter the exceptions. First - determiners.

There are a handful of adjectives that are known as determiners which come before the noun and they provide an important function in communicating things like number, possession, and location

The most common determiners include:

Definite articles [el, la, los, las]

Indefinite articles [un, una, unos, unas]

Possessives [mi, tu, su, nuestro/a, vuestro/a]

Demonstratives [este/esta, ese/esa/, aquel/aquella]

Interrogatives [qué, cuál/cuáles, cuánto/a] (Also work as exclamatory determiners which just means ¡! instead of ¿?)

Cardinal numbers [uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco etc]

Ordinal numbers [primer/primera, segundo/a, tercer/tercera, cuarto/a, quinto/a, etc]

There are also a few determiners of quantity such as mucho/a "a lot/many/much", todo/a "all/every", cada "each", vario/a "various/many", poco/a "few/less", tal "such", tan "so much" / tanto/a "so many", algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna etc.

And it will generally apply to más and menos "more" and "less", and sometimes mejor/peor "better/worse"

-

Note: With possessives is that there are two forms depending on adjective placement:

mi amigo/a = my friend mis amigos / amigas = my friends un amigo mío = a friend of mine una amiga mía = a friend of mine [f] unos amigos míos = a few friends of mine unas amigas mías = a few friends [f] of mine

All the pronouns have their own version of this possessive pattern

mi(s) and mío/a, tu(s) and tuyo/a, su(s) and suyo/a, and then nuestro/a and vuestro/a are the same but the adjective placement is different

As an example - nuestro país "our country" vs. el país nuestro "the country of ours", or nuestros familiares "our family members" vs. unos familiares nuestros "some family members of ours"

A common religious example - Nuestra Señora "Our Lady" and then el padrenuestro "the Our Father prayer"

The possessives that come after the noun are usually translated as "of mine/yours/his/hers/ours" etc.

You can also see a few determiners/adjectives in different places in a phrase like - un viejo amigo mío "an old friend of mine" vs. mi viejo amigo "my old friend"

-

As mentioned in the very beginning there are a handful of exceptions

Most notably:

viejo/a = old / elderly

antiguo/a = ancient, old / antique, old

mismo/a = same / self

gran = great, grand grande = large

And includes propio/a "own / appropriate", as well as bueno/a "good" or malo/a "bad". I discussed a lot of these in more depth in the previous posts and in the one linked above

In many cases the exact meaning is different, even if it's slight - such as el hotel grande "the big hotel" vs. el Gran Hotel "the Grand Hotel"

bueno/a and malo/a are generally either "good" and "kind", or "bad" and "unkind", though the meanings can kind of blur together... as something like la buena hada "the good fairy" isn't so far off from el hada buena "the nice fairy"

When places before though bueno/a turns to buen + masculine, and malo/a turns to mal + masculine

As an example - un buen augurio "good omen", un mal presagio "a bad omen/portent"

.....but in feminine it looks like you'd expect: buena suerte "good luck" vs. mala suerte

Similarly, and one I didn't include the first time is cualquier/cualquiera

cualquier persona = any person una persona cualquiera = an ordinary person

cualquier in front - regardless of gender - means "any", literally "whichever"

cualquiera in back comes out as "ordinary" or colloquially "any old" [such as un beso cualquiera "an ordinary kiss" / "any old kiss"], or in the case of people it could be like "a person of dubious/unknown background" sort of like "they could be anyone"...

-

And then you run into what I would consider "collocations" which is another word for a set noun or expression

There are some words/expressions that have the adjective in a specific place and you can't really change it or it sounds weird, so you sort of have to learn them as specific units to remember:

las bellas artes = fine arts [lit. "beautiful arts"]

(de) mala muerte = "backwater", "poor / middle of nowhere", a place of ill repute or somewhere very remote or inconsequential [lit. "of a bad death"]

a corto plazo = short-term

a largo plazo = long-term

(en) alta mar = (on) the high seas

alta calidad = high quality

baja calidad = low quality

Blancanieves = Snow White (the character/fairlytale)

la mala hierba, las malas hierbas = weeds [lit. "bad grasses"; plants that grow without you wanting them to or that grow in bad places etc]

los bajos fondos = criminal underworld [lit. "the low depths"]

el más allá = "the great beyond", "the afterlife" [lit. "the more over there/beyond"]

buen/mal augurio = good/bad omen buen/mal presagio = good/bad omen

buena/mala suerte = good/bad luck

...Also includes all the greetings like buen día / buenos días or buenas noches etc. they're all considered set phrases

There are also many collocations that use adjectives in their normal place that also can't be separated such as los frutos secos "nuts", or el vino tinto/banco "red/white wine" etc.

A collocation just means that they are treating multiple words as set phrases or a singular unit

And again, some history/geographical terms will have these as well:

la Gran Muralla China = Great Wall of China

la Primera Guerra Mundial = First World War

la Segunda Guerra Mundial = Second World War

el Sacro Imperio Romano = Holy Roman Empire

la Antigua Grecia = Ancient Greece

el Antiguo Egipto = Ancient Egypt (el) Alto Egipto = Upper Egypt (el) Bajo Egipto = Lower Egypt

Nueva York = New York

Nueva Zelanda = New Zealand

Nuevo México = New Mexico

Nueva Escocia = Nova Scotia [lit. "New Scotland"]

la Gran Manzana = the Big Apple [aka "New York"]

Buenos Aires

There are many such terms

All the Things I loved about “One and Only” : My review of Yibo’s new movie 🎞️

Alas, I was able to watch 1 out of the 3 films Yibo released this year. It’s also the one I’ve been looking forward to, because he will be dancing and as a fan of SDC, I wanted to see familiar faces too.

The movie is STUNNING. The visual is something else. I enjoyed how colorful it is. How real. The empty train Shuo Shuo rides, the market, his home and the restaurant below etc. Even if this was a movie, it felt to me like I know these places. I really have to hand it to Dapeng on this one! He did really well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I remember one of the first reviews I’ve read about it is how it can compete with international films because of it’s quality — and they’re right!

Props to the cinematography ( Zhong Rui & Qian Tiantian ) and the Editing (Tu Yiran & Zhang Yibo) THE EDITING!!!!! It may be headache inducing for some because of the close ups and movement, but i loved it! I mentioned “colors” and I think the clothes contributed to that too and since I’ve read Zhao Yige’s process on it, I appreciated it even more.

Moving on the things I loved, let me list 8. 🤍 ( this is in no particular order )

1. It is funny without trying too hard. When you think of comedy, it’s almost always characters are deliberately given no choice but to be in a comedic situation. This is not one of those. It’s effortless. It also helps that some characters, like Dong Erlang, are naturally funny. He doesn’t have to do anything. Lol. I also find myself laughing with them, and not at them, which is the kind of comedy i like.

2. Every character is interesting. It’s hard to make main characters feel like someone the audience can relate to or be one they wanna get to know more. All the more, the minor characters and this movie nails it. I found myself wanting to know more about Shuo Shuo’s uncle and if he was able to overcome his crippling anxiety of meeting new people and going out. What happened to Kevin’s assistant/translator lol I was laughing so much watching his struggle to act as translators to the foreign dancers 😂😂😂. Shuo Shuo’s performing troupe. The story of his parents. The film is not only about Chen Shuo or Ding Lei. It’s their lives and the people in it.

3. It portrayed the struggles we experience in life without being too melodramatic. Critics have said that Dapeng’s movies focus more on showing the lives of the “little people” and what it’s like. He thrives on telling their stories and I have to agree on that. Ding Lei said that Shuo Shuo’s life could be a melodrama and maybe it is for some, but to those who have experienced life as it is, you could say that this is the reality. There is no magic solution. Shuo Shuo had to leave E-mark, Ding Lei and the team had to give up their “studio” and it’s comfort to be free, Patrick had to leave the team and Luffy is retiring etc. It was more than a movie about Dancing.

4. The Music is amazing! From key moments to the actual battles. The song choices were perfect. 🤍 Even when there was no conventional music playing, like that final battle and Shuo Shuo had to dance while the audience gave him a beat. Peng Fei did a great job with this!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

5. SDC personalities making an appearance. Oh! One of the reasons I loved this is the familiar faces. Knowing that the film was done alongside SDC 5 and they had to move to Hangzhou to make it work. It definitely paid off cause the film is Gorgeous. You can tell that everyone pulled their weight to make this happen. I appreciated seeing Yangkai as a judge in the national competition. I’m not familiar with MonkeyZ prior to him being in this film, but seeing him, well, congratulations on making the National Team in real life. JrTaco & David who have been Yibo’s friends even before they did SDC with him. AAAANNNDDD ROCHKA! My personal favorite. The apple of my eye. Seeing him shine in the final battle rounds 😍😍😍😍

6. The quirky moments. The characters and their own quirks added flavor to them and the story. Especially Ding Lei and his love for the TV drama Empress in the Palace or how he wears diapers 😂

7. WANG YIBO WAS SO FREAKIN HANDSOME IN THIS FILM AND IT NEEDS IT’S OWN ENTRY.

For someone who watched a lot of videos of him as Chen Shuo from actual scenes + behind the scenes. saw the photos. Edited a couple of those videos and photos — I knew Shuo Shuo is exceptional. But that didn’t prepare me at all for the full effect of seeing him in the big screen. I have to admit for the first few minutes of his scenes I wanted to hit pause so I can take a moment — I can’t tho cause I’m in a Cinema. 😂😂😂 HE IS BEAUTIFUL. This is the Yibo that they had to make an effort to look “scruffy” and give him ordinary clothes. The result? Still the most gorgeous human being. Tho in the movie, he is still supposed to look “handsome” but it’s his mom who is the only one who says it. So it gives you the impression that it’s just like how moms think their kids are the most handsome. BUT NO. NO. It’s dangerous how handsome he is in this film 😭

That scene when he falls down spinning when the train stops — and he looks at the girl apologetically? Dude! How??????? How???? Tell me!!!! SO BEAUTIFUL 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

8. WANG YIBO as Chen Shuo. The reason why I watched this movie in the first place. He played the role so well. He is such a lovable character and as a viewer, I can’t help but root for him. I loved the scenes where he was just living his life — trying to balance his responsibilities and reaching his dreams. The dance sequences. How he cried after that Star Dance (?) performance! It was so raw! It felt like he was just too overwhelmed with everything that he became emotional. Best Actor Wang Yibo!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 That’s what I always loved about him as an actor. He doesn’t have to exaggerate. He is a natural. You watch him and see a real person and not a caricature. What else? His little smiles. How he interacts with other characters are good too, especially his Mom. I want a son like Shuo Shuo please. such a good boy! 😌😌😌

I’m so thankful to meet Yibo as Chen Shuo. This character and the movie is truly a gift to everyone who watches it. 🤍

I hope Shuo Shuo continues to live well, in the unreleased easter egg, it was revealed that he was accepted to the National Team. I wish him all the best!

-END.

This is a birthday gift to @fanaticsnail . Without you I would not have joined a server and made so many friends who have helped me fall in love with art again. Blythe exists because you invited me, and I am grateful.

Canidae tapped the pen to her cheek, trying to figure out how to word this letter. It had been a few days since Tobiuo was gone, but it already felt like years. She looked to the old clock on the wall before writing in her first language, French; writing a message she hoped her friend might receive.

Tobiuo,

J'ai entendu dire qu'aujourd'hui était un jour important pour vous. Je tenais à vous faire part de ma gratitude et de mon appréciation. Alors que je suis assis à mon bureau et que je travaille sur le Polar Tang, entouré des souvenirs et des prix que nous avons partagés ensemble, je ne peux que souhaiter que vous en fassiez partie. Je vous suis très reconnaissant, que ce soit pour votre attitude distante à mon égard ou pour la lumière dont j'ai besoin les nuits où mon navire se rapproche dangereusement des rochers. Tu me manques et j'ai hâte que notre voyage reprenne. J'espère voir le Grand Bleu et que tu n'auras pas trop de rancune. Je te promets de t'emmener rencontrer maman et voir les aurores boréales. Sois prudent et j'espère que ton rêve se réalisera, car tu fais partie du mien.

Je t'aime,

Fey Marvella-Kelia Tenrou

Votre Canidé

English:

Tobiuo,

I heard today is an important day for you. I wanted to extend my gratitude and appreciation. As I sit here at my desk working the Polar Tang, surrounded by the memories and prizes we’ve shared together; I can only wish you were among them. From being standoffish towards me to being the light I need on nights when my ship is dangerously close to rocks, I am very grateful for you. I miss you and can’t wait for our journey to restart. I hope to see the Deep Blue and that you don’t hold too much of a grudge. I promise to take you to meet mama and to see the northern lights. Please stay safe and i hope your dream comes true; because you’re part of mine.

Love,

Fey Marvella-Kelia Tenrou

Your Canidae

Canidae rolled up the letter and shoved into a small glass bottle before making her way to the deck. Carefully, she placed the bottle in the ocean, watching it start to drift off with the currents.

Hopefully it would reach the missing part of home.
