[transmechanicus]

Really fucked up that two ppl can care about each other and make their best efforts to communicate and still end up hurting each other so badly they cannot stand to be in the same room.

#my stuff #i feel soooo bad talking to my therapist about the same topics over multiple weeks #like i feel like they're sooo sick of it like damn can this bitch get Over It alreadyyyy #hi yes actually can we talk about the near catastrophic sense of betrayal and loss that has haunted my soul for over a month? #can we talk about how I overcompensate for other's possible feelings and emotions to desperately mask my terror at feeling out of control #can we talk about how even when I know ppl acted with logical reasons necessary for their situation it still hurt me? #and that this pain fills me up with so much anger and frustration that I'm powerless to put anywhere that won't hurt someone #so it just cooks me inside and makes me grind my teeth constantly for weeks #im so angry i did not deserve to be treated like this it's not fair and I have no capacity to fix it or control when it feels better #i just have to survive and wait until i forget about it and hope they don't decide to reach out and fuck it all up #cause i can see that happening #i'll finally be free of thinking about them and generally going about my day unbothered and they'll ask to get coffee or something #and I have no idea what I should do in that scenario. because I don't think we can be friends. #and you have not treated me with the compassion and warmth I treated you #i would want to say mean things. hurtful things. I would want to bite back for once. #and that's not me. that's not who I want to be. #i don't wanna see you. go away. don't talk to me if you're not going to make the pain go away.

why is literally everyone on my sonic tomodachi life island in love with shadow as if theres not other people to choose from and hes not gonna reject them every time . stop creating a love spiderweb with some guy whos not even interested in you

#at one point i kept ending up in scenarios where one mii would try to confess and a bunch of others would show up to interrupt #and they would all get rejected lmao .. most have moved on by now though after getting rejected so many times or finding someone else #but ill still occasionally get an ''im in love with shadow !!! '' even though. hes already taken #silver is the one who managed to win him over btw if anyone is curious . #list of people who have tried to date shadow off the top of my head: silver espio blaze amy #and sticks just told me shes in love with him too NO YOURE NOT . STOP #even knuckles got in on it once. and hes literally already dating sonic ?? #i mean knuckles has two hands but polyamory isnt a thing in this game sooo #amy and blaze and espio were particularly desperate... #i made it a rule for myself to try to avoid forcing any particular couples #and to just let any ships happen as long as they dont have weird age gaps or otherwise make me uncomfortable #(which is how i ended up with shadilver even though im not really into that pairing) #but i made a mii of tekno JUST to give amy a decent romantic option. because she wouldnt stop asking about shadow #and i kept ignoring her or telling her not to get with shadow and she wouldnt give it up #and it was getting on my nerves because sha/damy is one of those ships on my ''not going to let these happen no matter what'' list #well shes with tekno now and she also stopped asking about shadow so much once he got with silver so. its fine #and blaze ended up finding someone else too. not espio though hes still single. but thats fine #i dont need every single mii paired off idgaf about that #tomodachiposting

do you have any kraang invasion timeline ideas for tmwn or gemini? i know you mentioned some for the latter, but they were in a timeline where they didn't reunite before the invasion. no angst, just wondering about general resistance roles and duties and maybe stuff about casey jr? maybe whether any of them end up adopting kids of their own

MMMMM, kinda sorta. I do but I haven't thought too deeply on it because I think that maybe I... don't like apocalypse timeline stuff, actually? I like Casey Jr., but I'm not sure if I like him more than I dislike some of the other aspects of the Apocalypse Timeline, so.

We'll see.

Anyway. For TMWN, I intend the main fic to take us to the defeat of Shredder, but I have kind of tossed around the thought of someday having a sequel fic that follows the events of the movie, because I'm a deranged person who hasn't finished the first story but is already thinking about a sequel... But tbh, the main thought I had was simply "ooh I could make timeskip designs for them..." and thats abt it ^^;

For Gemini, again, thoughts are limited, but I do think the whole Hamato Fam would end up together trying to lead the resistance and all that. I think Leo the Leader would be a lot less clear-cut in the Gemini-verse, I think it would be less Leo leading and more the Hamatos leading. As I've mentioned in the past, right now Mikey is really the one who views himself as a leader, and I don't really intend to rip that away from him. I also really love Raph as a leader, I think he's a good one, and I don't think Leo will ever stop relying on his partnership with his twin. They've just been a team for way too long, and so the idea of Leo being a 'leader' over Donnie would be weird for them, I think.

I also think Raph would adore Casey Jr. so fucking hard, but that's not really a Gemini thing ^^;

Re: having their own kids, the only one I've really thought about is Donnie. Dad!Donnie and also in particular Teen Dad!Donnie is just such a common theme in the fanbase, and I think it's very fun, so I think it's kind of fucking hilarious and funky if Donnie ends up having Oopsie Baby(s?) with his partner like,,, early on. Anywhere between like 19 and 25, idk yet. It's especially funny and interesting to me if it's in the fucking apocalypse. I just think Donnie would be a really good Dad and I also can't help but snicker at the idea of Donnie, out of all his siblings, ending up having children first-- especially if it's by accident.

#i dunno if apocalypse timeline stories are smth im really gonna explore beyond #like #a few specific projects (like my Grief comic series and the Casey Jones comic which I intend to be a few parts long but not more than that) #obvs there are a few exceptions and some stories i enjoy but like #idk #its very prevalent in the fandom but im not sure if its always like... the best space for me to be in #that being said there are things that like! i hate in other ppls stories but i am willing to put in my own #because its different when *I* do it and *I* control it so #but anyway i am gently planning donnie to have a partner eventually #and all the scenarios i can think of if g!donnie accidentally gets knocked up (esp in the apocalypse) is fucking hilarious to me idk why #idk if ill actually do it #but i think abt it #asks #anon #sorrywhatnowau asks #gemini asks #gemini au asks

[ellies-enrichment]

So english isn't my native language, what does enrichment mean? I feel like I'm missing a joke, please help 🥲🥲

please you are not the first person to ask don't feel like you're missing anything it's so so niche i'll gladly explain it 💗

enrichment is something you add to a situation to increase its quality of life. i use the example for animals because i heard it a lot watching Maya Higa run an animal sanctuary. It's just a word to describe getting your animals a little extra treat (or like when you use special stuff in your soil for plants you're enriching the soil to improve the plant)

i use it for ellie because i like to believe fedra school didn't allow the kids to ever have fun and so she believes anything that entertains her or is fun is enrichment because it's improving her quality of life (and enrichment is EVERYTHING she sees because fedra kept her sheltered)

#the ONE joke that will stick around throughout all my little universe scenarios unfortunately for all enrichment haters #is the enrichment storyline because its so dumb i love it #i have my family saying it now it wont go away so im keeping it around #like 'sleep enrichment' is a thing said almost every night #my dad dropped a hotdog into a fryer the other day and said 'frying enrichment' ive broke him #anonymous #asks

group work is Not It. I should have known better than to enroll in an engagement course that involves planning workshops with a group of other students……. guess who is doing all the work! :^) Back in tha day my teachers called me a ‘natural leader’… fun fact!!!! I am actually not! I do not like being in charge! it is actually just that people take advantage of me! Hope this helps

#God. I wanted to take the class so bad bc it’s about the history of art in prison systems #and it involves a weekly art workshop in a prison #the group that runs it is pretty blatantly abolitionist and partially run by formerly incarcerated ppl #so it’s made pretty clear that we're not ‘teaching’ art bc thats weird and enforcing a hierarchy if ur a 'teacher' #its more like a way to get materials inside and basically hang out with and make art alongside incarcerated ppl #under the guise of ‘volunteering’ as the dept of corrections labels it #anyway that’s all off topic but basically I am doing all the fucking work lmao we’re supposed to go in for the first time tomorrow and #my group members suck shit at communicating and the person who’s supposed to drive is like radio silent whenever I ask #where we should meet and shit #FUCK!!! I hate logistical shit like this #its taken us a million years to get cleared by the system (on purpose i stg) so its literally midterm time and we havent gotten in yet #i swear if our first one gets jeopardized by this girl who refuses to check her damn texts or emails or even come to class im gonna be so #pissed. lmfao #goddddd this is giving me flashbacks to when i took the class where we were supposed to do workshops at an elementary school #different vibe because in that scenario it was definitely supposed to be educational and we lowkey were 'teachers' #but my classmates also didnt do shit and i also ended up doing literally everything #WHY TAKE A CLASS LIKE THIS IF U DONT WANNA DO IT LIKE SERIOUS QUESTION #maybe they just want to put it on their resume LOL #they need a vetting process for this class i stg like interview these bitches before they enroll #cuz some of these people fr do not care

1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!

2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr

3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!

overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!

#aritalks #i did cry a little bit when i first woke up because i dont really know what to do about work and also i hate not having a car i can use #not only because of the work aspect but also getting my license when i was 18 gave me a freedom i didn’t have before #and i don’t like having to rely on other people just to like go to the fucking store or something yk #but then my best friend/roommate messaged me happy birthday and i was like fuck it! today is going to be a good day! #the stressful uncertainties can wait until tomorrow #also one of my best friends who hasn’t said happy birthday to me the past two years #(not intentionally im p sure they were just busy on my birthdays the past two years #and then had that moment of ‘oh shit i didnt send a message fuck i think its too late now’ which i totally get bc anxiety things yk) #was one of the first people to message me happy birthday!! #i’m also hoping to still be able to go see my mom and then stay the night at my dads tonight #so i can see both my parents and also my baby siblings for my birthday #my dads working today but after he texted happy birthday i sent him a text asking if he thinks we could still make it work #my mom is asleep still i think (she called me at midnight and left a voicemail singing happy birthday!! but her sleep schedule has been all #over the place recently so i’m waiting until 11:30 to call her which is in like 30 mins) #but she said something yesterday about driving out to me to give me a hug and also bring me my diabetes stuff that got delivered #(her house is my mailing address because i know it’s not going to change bc it’s my great grandparents house that she’s partially inhereting #when my great grandpa dies but since i have moved out of my dads my address has changed twice and i didnt have a mailbox at my last place so #just for the sake of consistency and not having to worry about important shit getting sent to the wrong address i’ve had her house as my #mailing address since i moved out of my dads at 19) #so i think i’m gonna ask her if she can just pick me up instead so i can go to her house w her and hang out with her #and hopefully my dad will be able to at least stop by with my siblings so i can see them too #i’d like to stay the night with them but if we can’t make it happen then i can also stay the night w my mom and hopefully tomorrow figure #out the car situation. might have to rent a car for a week if i can afford it? best case scenario is my moms car can be fixed but i still #dont know whats wrong with it ik there are two potential problems and one is fixable the other is not #the fixable one would cost like $150-$400 to fix depending on if we get a used part or a new one #if its $150-$200 ish i can probably afford to pay for the whole thing or at least most of it #but if its more than that hopefully my dad or one of my family members can help #and i can just pay them back in like $50 increments with my next few paychecks #just realized i said i wouldnt worry abt the car thing today and also i think im at tag limit to i’ll stop now lmao xoxo gossip girl ❤️

there's really no help for feeling suicidal when you're not in immediate danger

#like i guess im just supposed to wait until i am in immediate danger?? #and even those resources are just to keep you safe. not make you not want to die #what the fuck am i supposed to do #being suicidal but not being in immediate danger really sucks #at least if i was like going to hurt myself in a life threatening way i could potentially die #but no im stuck here all because i dont want my parents to be sad #doesn't seem fair. i didn't ask to be born #i don't know what to do #how long can i feel this way and imagine all these scenarios until i do something about it? #i got really close a few nights while i was still at school #but every method has its downsides #i wish i could just not care about the effects my suicide would have on other people #i really just need to go for it #it's extremely selfish of me to say this but once i'm dead i won't care #i wish i could kill myself tonight #i wake up every morning and have to do another day. sometimes it's not so bad but i still just want to be dead #even while im laughing or snuggling with my bunny or with friends i still want to be dead #i want to kill myself #i think if i had a plan even if i was never going to go through with it i would feel better #like something to fall back onto. or just knowing it was possible #guess it's time to keep working on the pros and cons list of different suicide methods🤡 #someone please help me #people who deserve to live and want to live die all the time but i have to keep living. doesn't seem fair. #the world is a really fucked up place #sorry for not adding trigger warnings. went past 20 tags and im on mobile so i cant move them around #i dont think anyone reads these anyways.

[resizura]

probably the biggest line i hate from re2r

leon: hopefully they’ll have some answers at the police station

claire: wait, ur a cop?

#resizura rants #re2r critical #because he didnt say anything that would prompt her to ask that question #he wasnt even in uniform #it makes no sense why she’d ask that #i think considering raccoon city told people to go to rpd for shelter that not a weird thing at all for a civilian to say #he couldve said smth like ‘dw ur safe with me im a cop lets get to the police station’ #like theres so many lines in re2r where they keep the lines but they change the context/scenario #so now it doesnt fit #like ada saying ‘saving your ass thats twice’ in remake #and the og she says ‘thats two i owe you’ like what are we doing

[kalpasio]

i woke up at 3:58 am thinking about herrscher kalpas please feed me this food 🙏

pianist anon

I could totally see him having one of those moments where he hates honkai so much he lets it corrupt him?? like so blinded by rage he doesn't realize it's taken over?

obviously Herrscher of fire makes sense, but could you imagine Herrscher of death Kalpas with black instead of brown and his title of decimation is an understatement? just everything around him is destroyed and he's loving every minute of it?

maybe that's what he was like when he first got the meta-morph surgery?? maybe he did actually become a Herrscher and that's why he joined after Elysia talked to him 👀

either way Herrscher Kalpas would be extra hot and spicy and I am not immune to the idea of him killing everyone but reader because he still has that soft spot 💔

#pianist anon!! 🧡��� #do i think killing is good? #absolutely not under no circumstances #do i think it's hot to have someone kill for me? #...maybe #only in a fictional scenario #but also kalpas 🧡🧡🧡 #its horrible but im thinking of like EARLY 2000's ghost rider where his flames turn blue because he sees the girl he loves #and he gets all soft and doesn't burn her but as soon as shes in danger the flames are orange and hes leaving #i just want to hug kalpas and be able to touch his flames without getting burned is that too much to ask for

[caffeinatedopossum]

Doctors be like "have you experienced a major life event recently", not considering the possibility that every event in my life has been major so honestly nothing feels important from my perspective

#like last time they asked me this im pretty sure i had just moved states cut off contact with most of my family #turned 18 discovered i was chronically ill and disabled AND was just going to doctors for the first time in my life #despite my crushing anxiety of being anywhere in front of anyone #im pretty sure i have/had agoraphobia but ive never been evaluated for it #i just feel absolutely terrified being in public especially any new places or being alone outside at all #like i cant go places alone but that was what i was doing anyway for doctors appointments #because oh yeah this was during covid too lmao #i kinda forgot because once again nothing seems all that important me #like global pandemic? cool cool can i get some severe isolation with this life threatening virus too? awesome #also yeah covid is still a thing but people dont care anymore #oh yeah i had also just lost my pets and my religion and all of my religious friends. this is the type of stuff i forget #what even counts as a major life event anymore #i think if i was to become homeless get hospitalized or my gf died. those are the only three things i can think of that would shake me rn #nvm there are more now because im thinking about it lol i just think those three are more likely scenarios

[sonknuxadow]

It does kind of feel like they’re edging away from Tom being a cop in response to the fact that sonic has, historically, not exactly had a great relationship with the police and also government

Maybe it’ll turn out after the fiasco with GUN Tom decided that he’s better off doing something else (maybe being a stay at home dad???) instead??? Probably wistful thinking but still

yeah i want something along those lines to happen. like tom realizing through seeing all the bad stuff that keeps happening because of the police and military that he doesnt wanna be a cop anymore. but i doubt theyre gonna do that to be honest

#asks #this is the kinda stuff im worried about with the next movie probably being mostly based on sa2 #all of the problems in that game are caused by the police and gun #even the stuff that eggman does is a result of the chain of events that gun started #very bad possible scenario for this is that they try to rewrite it to make it come off as less anti cop #but it would also be annoying if they kept the story mostly the same but still had tom be a cop by the end #because whether they say it out loud or not the implication there is ''um not all cops are bad Actually <3 tom is a good cop so its fine'' #or worse. they DO say that part out loud and have the other characters tell shadow that he shouldnt hate the military/police #because ''well not every individual person involved in those systems is responsible for your trauma <3'' #there are so many potential nightmare scenarios here is what im saying

[halforcdad]

Thoughts on how they will explain a possible 3 episode Lucy absence?

The first thing that comes to mind that makes sense to me is Lucy's family.

We don't really know much about Lucy. Take it from her, her entire life is just work, gym, and Kate. She doesn’t really have anything else going on (I really thought her being a junior agent and wanting to follow in Tennant's footsteps was gonna be up there, but they seemed to randomly drop that after they futzed with the timeline to give us that Kacy backstory). The only thing we really know about her is that she has issues with her rich family and potentially burned that bridge when she left Texas. Given NCIS: Hawai`i's focus on ohana and the crumbs she was dropping last season (they were her third-most talked about thing behind work and Kacy angst lol), Lucy’s family troubles seem to be shaping up to be her other big long-term storyline. 

Among the bits of bts we've gotten from 2x07 (presumably the last episode she would be in if she were to be absent for 3 episodes) was this interesting little sneak peak:

(from a bts video a crewmember uploaded, these are tori and yas's stand-ins while the crew is setting up the shot)

Looks like the perfect set-up for them to get personal, like talking about Lucy’s fear of the water or quietly reflecting on her insecurities or her family/childhood (we already have a Whistler focused episode so this could be Lucy’s moment). Like something on the same level of seriousness as the scene where Lucy’s comforting and encouraging Kate outside of the FBI BBQ, but maybe with less anxiety and more chill vibes lol. It could be a great opportunity to finally introduce some substantial Lucy backstory and or a long-term background storyline that isn’t just about her and Kate.  

I know a lot of people theorize that her family has cut her out completely or vice versa, but NCIS: Hawai'i already has one parent-child relationship that started out like that with Wally and Kai so maybe they want to differentiate a little (though they could use that similarity as an opportunity to get them to bond over it whenever that storyline happens, a more in-depth version of 1x04). I could see her not reaching out, but not having their numbers blocked either or still keeping minimal contact with them, birthdays and whatnot. Maybe something happened with a niece or nephew or her parents and she needs to go back and see them. It would warrant Tennant giving her extended personal time to take care of it. Plus, it would be easy to explain why she’s not in the episode at all if she’s back on the mainland and if they wanted to, they could include her without her needing to be on location/the sets via either phone or video calls and she could record all her scenes ahead of time. Though, the cons to this would be that if Lucy was absent from the episode, that means we wouldn’t get to see any of the angsty family scenes! (unless there were flashbacks shown later) and it could turn into a lot of tell not show type story writing which I hate. It would be a neat way to introduce angst though if Lucy is keeping it all in and not telling anybody about what happened even though its clearly affecting her (or if Kate feels hurt that Lucy didn't want her to go with her/isn't telling her either). It would be an interesting bump in the road in a season where she's been building trust and communication with Kate. My dream would be for it to progress slowly, more mentions of her past here and there, her family slowly becoming more present in her life (good or bad), maybe a brother or sister shows up in an episode down the line as a suspect or to visit and that throws her off, but I want the parents showing up to be an unexpected monumental thing that doesn't happen until like at least late s3 or s4.

Each of their cases takes places over the course of a few days minimum and that’s not even accounting for the amount of time that might take place in between them. Unless they threw in a few Nightwatch type cases (which they solved in one friday night and one entire saturday) then I don’t see how you explain away that big of an absence in-story unless you introduce a big storyline like Lucy needing to go back home for some reason. 

Another possibility I’ve seen floating around is Lucy getting hurt in the upcoming episodes, which is very doable and I would not hate it at all. My only potential concern with that is I would want her to have scenes with the whole team and not just Kate while she's recovering. So maybe if she’s in the hospital, Tennant comes by to see her and tells her about the case or the boys throw her a little party in the hospital or they video call her because she’s bored out of her mind. Though, since Lucy’s in the crossover, I don’t know how keen Tennant would be bringing an agent who was recently seriously injured with her to LA on a mission like the one being described in the crossover (Noah is also listed as being in the crossover, but I don’t know if I’ve heard or seen anything at all about him filming out of state). IIRC, the synopsis mentions something about agents being targeted so Lucy being separated from everyone while in Texas could make her an easy target? Or if she hears about Tennant going to LA, it would make sense why she’s the one accompanying her because she’s already on the mainland and would probably be looking for an excuse to leave her family (or maybe she wants to leave Texas to protect them since she’s a target). 

Hell, since we're speculating let's just throw shit at the wall. Maybe they do something wild like Lucy went on a long undercover thing or oh she's suspended because she fucked up.

Of course, they could still go with, “oh Tennant just shipped Lucy off to help another division since she's the only one who doesn't have family they need to take care of in Hawai’i or Lucy needed to help a friend or something it’s nbd,” and have her come back like nothing happened. 

tldr; keeping up with the taras, she gets hurt, they just brush it off casually, or they throw something out of left field

(i am in the camp that if she were to be absent entirely, id lean more on it only being a one or two episode absence at most)

#ncis hawaii #ncis hawai'i #lucy tara #ik lucy isnt tennant so she doesnt HAVE to be there but 3 ep seems like way too many to miss #it would be hard to explain an absence that long in show unless she was gone for something really important right #watch me be the clown and if lucy does leave she comes back like nbd and they move on rq LMAO #imagine if whistler somehow appeared in every episode and lucy #im sorry this is long as shit but thanks for the ask! #this is a biased post because i just want to hear about lucy's backstory already LMAO #i love all the kacy content dont get me wrong but i feel like the teams slacking a little on backstory for everybody this season #i am excited to see how they handle the family storyline to the point where ive probably hyped it up too much in my head lol #theres just so much potential there and as a poc i want it to be relatable and nuanced #also im just really excited to see pearl ohana vs blood family i wanna see kate stand by lucy i want it all #i also love whump and hurt character angst tho so if lucy just gets injured ill be fine with that too #the problem with all the scenarios is i want to watch them all unfold on tv #with no absences LMAO so im praying

#this girl ive had a crush on since i met her has been making comments #like 'youre the only person who doesn't annoy me when you come over' and trusting me with pretty personal information #but she's got a boyfriend who we also work with #he's cool and goofy with not much going on behind his eyes and we're slowly starting to get along #bc he's kitchen staff and i dont really know them all too well #but i think this is the first time ive ever been like 'if this couple asked me to join their relationship i would say yes' #rather than just dreaming of imaginary people and made-up scenarios like these are actual people in an actual relationship #obviously i will not be the one to bring this up because there's that solidly high chance im completely misreading the whole situation #but!!!! the thought and chance are very very nice to me :)
