First Night Plans
(Mentions of murder, core four doing some wildly ineffective plotting, vague mentions of food issues)
*
“I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’ve gathered you here today.” Mal says, grinning at her team. Her head is still throbbing a bit, but it’s much easier to focus now that they’re in the red-draped tomb of the boy’s room. Much better than the dining hall at least, and all of the curtains and shit will act as pretty good sound dampening barrier so they can plan without needing to worry about nosy royal brats in the hall.
Jay groans. “Because you’re an egotistical maniac who won’t let us suffer in peace?”
He’s not wrong, but it’s not exactly the vibe that Mal is going for here. Victorious young villains united towards a common goal, sure. Loyal pack gathered together to plan their next big heist, also more of what she was thinking.
Whatever. If Jay is too preoccupied with his own self-inflicted suffering to pay attention to her, that’s his loss. “Aw, you say the sweetest things!” Mal says, baring her teeth in his direction. She doesn’t do it too hard though, because Jay is flopped out on his back over the same bed that Carlos is sitting on, and their little tech genius is breaking into a tablet, which is useful enough that she doesn’t want to interrupt. “No, dipshit. For the first time in our lives, our parents can’t touch us!”
Beside her, Evie makes a little gasping noise. Joy, or fear, or something like that.
“No curfew, no evil summonings whenever her royal horniness wants me, no more playing their games!” Mal exclaims, waving a hand. “Sure, we need to get the wand for them,  but we’re the children of the worst villains there are, you think that’s going to stop us? We have at least a week of freedom before I figure out this spellbook, and we can finally take advantage of it without our parents bothering us!”
Jay lifts his head slightly. “Yeah?” he says. “You got a plan for doing that?”
Mal scoffs. Of course she has a plan. She is Mal of the Isle, and her crew is going to be the ones to bring down the barrier once and for all, and go down in history as the best isle crew ever to come off of the rock.  “I’ve been plotting, and I think it’s going to take us a little while to get our hands on the wand.” Mal says, voice syrupy sweet with false regrets. “My dear old mommy dearest is going to have to wait.”
Evie clicks her tongue. “And you’re going to let her?” she asks incredulously.
“It’s a valuable lesson in patience.” Mal says. Her mother can damn well learn to wait, after all the time she’s spent keeping Mal hidden away from the Auradon authorities. “After all, that’s what separates villains from mere criminals. It’s all in the…” Mal pauses, breathes in slowly, and imagines fire running through her veins. “Execution.” Mal finishes, spreading her arms wide, just like her mother does when she’s done delivering an especially melodramatic speech.
Her crew, because they’re a bunch of assholes, don’t even laugh. Jay sort of rolls his eyes, which is not the reaction that Mal’s best attempt at over-the-top villainous drama is supposed to get. Making fun of her mother is supposed to be fun now that there’s a magical barrier and a gazillion tons of water between them and any parental consequences. A cackle of agreement would be ideal, or a sort of adoring applause.
Whatever. They can work on it.
“So. Plan time.” Mal says, and slams her hands down on the table. It’s sort of bullshit that the boy’s get to have a real table in their room, and she and Evie have to make do with a little pink and white sewing table instead of this study thing, but whatever. Life isn’t fair, as her mother would say. Get over it or get even.  “We need to know where the wand is. That’s the first step no matter what we’re doing. Once we know where it is, and how difficult it’s going to be for us to get our hands on, we can decide if we want to grab it now, follow our parent’s plan, and stage our own coup once they’re out and distracted by destroying Auradon, or go our own way. My mother might be happy enough to have the wand that she’ll just give up and let us live for a while no matter what we do.”
“Really, Mal?” Evie asks. “She’ll let us live, just like that?”
Mal flips her hair back over her shoulder and looks at one of the paintings on the wall. They aren’t near the water, so why are there so many pictures of boats around? “It’s not… out of the question,” she says haughtily. “She may keep us alive to torture for a while instead of outright slaughter.”
Evie sighs. “It’s not very likely that they’ll just forget about us once they’re out,” she says. “We need a real plan to get that wand, and the sooner we can do it the better.”
“Agreed.” Jay says. He doesn’t even lift his head this time.
Mal takes a deep breath. She is not going to snap at her crew. She needs them all in one piece, and if she shouts and strangles them, they won’t be very much help with their ultimate goal here. “No. I know,” she says, very calmly and rationally if she does say so herself. “I’m saying, it’s an option here. We could decide to have our own plan.”
Jay pushes up on his elbows enough to get his head free to nod. “If we grab it now we could break them free right away and not have to go to class tomorrow.”
Hm. “Point,” Mal says. “But—“
“Mal—“ Evie interrupts at the same time. “We can’t go in without any plan!”
Deep breaths. They’re all annoyed from a long day. Patience is the key to good villainy. Hasty plans make wasted potential. “I don’t want to spend any more time here than we have to,” Mal says. “The food is cool, but we all met those prissy royals today, right?”
Even Carlos glances up at that one. “Yeah, we met them and you immediately got in a pissing match with one of them,” he says. “The sooner we’re out of here the better.”
“They’re a bit insufferable,”  Evie admits. “Especially the princes.”
Well then. If Evie’s willing to admit to it, maybe it’s not just Mal being a bitch, and the students here really are insufferable little jerks. “Exactly,” Mal agrees. “But it’s not like we’re actually going to be able to get the wand tonight, so don’t worry, we’ll all get to suffer through some princess classes. We just need to scope out the area, to make sure there’s no surprises coming our way for when we do want to make our move.”
“Really.” Evie says flatly, hands on her hips and nearly glaring at Mal.
“And maybe,” Mal says slowly, watching Evie’s face. “I also want to cause a little bit of trouble. For purely personal reasons. And we need to go to classes to make sure we’re doing things right.”
“We need to sneak out and scope the area,” Carlos says, glancing up. “So we can understand the castle. For important sneaking purposes.”

drarry enemies to lovers muggle au
so harry and draco are still schoolboy rivals, (soccer vs basketball 'better sport' rivalry maybe?) but harry recently realized he liked draco in his senior year (he loved how riled up and emotional draco would get when he annoyed him and the way he acted with his team made harry so soft), and now it's the summer after senior year.
so harry decides to shoot his shot — what's he got to lose, right? they're off to college in a couple months anyways.
so when harry learns that draco has a summer job at the mall, he gets a job at the store across from him. during all of harry's breaks, he goes into draco's store and flirts with draco, but draco never takes him seriously, and just ignores him or brushes him off as joking and calls him immature for continuing to do it.
every time draco rejects him, harry hides it well but his heart drops further and further until the point where he just can't do it anymore, it's taking a toll on him. so he quits his job and disappears.
draco keeps working normally. he feels like something is off, but he ignores it. but he keeps checking his watch at the 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock breaks harry usually has before they both got off at 12. it takes him a while, until pansy comes in and draco, not looking up, feels a weight being taken off of his chest. he grins, sighs exasperatedly, and says, "What now, Potter?" but it's not him. it's pansy.
it's then that he knows, he misses harry. but not in a friend way — pansy hadn't seen him for a month, she was off in Barbados. he hadn't missed her like this, like there was an ache somewhere in his body that he couldn't reach and fix on his own.
so, when uni starts, he tries to get drunk and hook up to get his mind off of harry, but he can't. harry's all he can think of, and he wonders how he'd missed something like this before. he'd seen him every day, so as hus feelings slowly changed, it didn't feel different to him back then.
he remembers a picnic harry had forced him into the day before he disappeared. it was harry's birthday, July 31st. he hadn't done anything for him, but harry had appeared in his shop after they got off and guilted him into the picnic, since ron and hermione were too "gag worthy now that they were a couple", his other friends were on vacation, and he'd rather not spend his eighteenth birthday with his aunt and uncle.
so draco agreed, and it was magical. draco thought he'd just been drinking beer and not just fruit punch like harry insisted, so he attributed how great it had felt to that, but conversation flowed between them so easily, and they'd stayed out there making fun of each other and other school's teams until the sun had set, turning their hair golden.
so, draco looks up the college harry'd gotten into — and surprise surprise, it's the same one he got into — a D1 college on a full sports scholarship. he asks around, and finds the frat harry was in. he casually attends a party, hoping to see him there, and he does.
their story could have ended there, with a happy reunion, but what's a story without some angst? when draco saw harry, he was draped over another girl's lap, who was laughing and leaning down to kiss him. draco felt sick to his stomach - what did he expect? for harry to mope around waiting for him? draco's first instinct was probably right - harry was just joking around the whole time, he didn't actually like him.
so draco throws himself into his classes and sports, and meets new people and socializes. and it was fine, it was all fine. really.
until harry runs into him at the snack shack before an early morning class and is thrown off balance. he recovers, though, and greets draco with a bright smile and "hey, Draco! i didn't know you went here!"
and all those suppressed feelings draco had resurfaced just like that, and his stomach flipped and it just felt right, to sit there, talking with harry in the queue. he brings up harry's girlfriend, but harry shrugs it off — "someone set us up, but it didn't even last a week. i decided not to date after that."
so draco shoots his shot. what the fuck, why not? "would you maybe wanna go on a date with me? just one, and then you can go back to your ban if you wanna."
Harry's thrown. "Really? This isn't some kind of prank, or..."
"No, I'd really like to date you. I'm sorry it took me so long to get my head out of my ass." All his cards were on the table now.
"Oh my god, yes! Wait, I mean," he clears his throat. "Yeah. Sounds good."
and draco laughs freely for the first time since that summer, and they have an amazing first date and are amazing boyfriends and have a horrible proposal because they both wanted to propose and draco knocked Harry's ring off the Eiffel tower in panic when he realized what was happening and then he showed harry his ring and Harry sighs and says yes and they have an amazing marriage and adopt three amazing kids and have a happily ever after.
this started as a short au idea but somewhere along the way i added detailed scenes and dialogue so it's a prompt + fic mixed in??? idfk man but someone please write this (my only request is have good grammar and don't rush things hehe) and turn it into a 40k+ word count fic and then link me please aND THANK YOU HDJSJS

So...what if Artina lived?
So, as my mind tends to do, I started thinking about potential fan fic ideas. In this case, it’s Disgaea--more specifically, Disgaea 4, a series I somehow both love and hate at the same time for strange reasons. In particular, I thought of the Time Leap episode that failed to satisfy my Valvatorez x Artina urges, and what could’ve happened if Artina actually DID survive.
But my speculating was about the “original” storyline, where nary a mechanic or time traveler’s to be seen. The first thing I thought was that if Artina survived, Valvatorez would still stick around in the human world and...he’d probably die because I like to imagine that Artina would never genuinely be afraid of him no matter what he does because he’s just too nice. Or he could just be on the brink of death due to starvation when Artina goes “your pride’s not worth your life” and gives him her blood while he’s unable to resist, forcing him to (sort of) break his promise. Valzy’s naturally upset at her, but he’s also mad at himself, because not only did he fail to scare Artina, but she went out of her way to save his life despite him pretty much threatening hers. It makes him question if he’s an inept demon who never really grasped the concept of fear. He feels like they BOTH need to be punished (Artina for making him break his promise and Valvatorez for proving incapable of keeping it), so he decides that he’s going to feed off of ONLY Artina until the day that she dies, because SHE deserves it for being so willing to give up her blood and HE deserves it because he considers himself “unworthy” of even biting another human’s neck.
And Artina...is okay with that, much to his dismay.. Because SHE thinks she needs to be punished, too--not for saving Valzy’s life or not having enough common sense to be afraid for her own life, but because she felt responsible for exhausting him to the point of nearly killing himself. Then she starts thinking about that one soldier who got in trouble because she saved him and thinks she ought to receive some punishment for not thinking abou the consequences of her actions--even her good ones.
Valzy takes Artina back home to the netherworld and Fenrich, who is naturally upset with the fact that his powerful lord is much weaker now due to some human woman with no common sense. He tries to convince Valzy to change his mind and just punish Artina by killing her, or keep drinking blood from other humans since he couldn’t possibly take enough blood from a single person to even satisfy his hunger, let alone bring his strength back to what it used to be. But Valzy is willing to accept whatever consequences come from this “punishment” as something he deserves, so he instead insists that he’ll take care of Artina until one of them dies. Fenrich attempts to have Artina killed a couple of times, but it fails because Valvatorez always swoops in to save her and Fenrich, not wanting his weakened lord to be hurt, always ends up helping to foil his own schemes. Whether or not he realizes what his servant has been doing, Valzy confides to Fenrich that if Artina died, he’d pretty much just let himself die since breaking another vow would be too much for him. So Fenrich begrudgingly tolerates Artina’s presence while scheming of ways to get him to drink more blood and regain his power before he’s forced to fall to Hades.
Eventually (or inevitably?) Valvatorez tells Artina he’s going to marry her, which he insists is because it would be awkward and rude to drink her blood if she were someone else’s woman. Despite Fenrich pointing out that he could just lock her up somewhere or keep her in a tighter leash, Valzy refuses to give Artina another choice. She gets upset about it since she’s a nun and also admits that she’d rather get married to someone who loves her, he states that not every couple who gets married loves each other and that this is just another layer to their “punishment” of being together, and they spend the first months of their marriage upset with one another. But eventually (inevitably?), they make up. Artina confesses that she’s fallen in love with Valvatorez and he...promises to be a good husband and make her content. Despite Artina’s disappointment with his unromantic response, she’s happy that they’re no longer on bad terms, and at some point in the near future, they finally consummate their marriage.
Artina eventually conceives and everyone has different reactions to the news. Artina is delighted and strives to prepare things for the baby. Fenrich is worried that the child will grow up to be someone who’ll intervene in his lord’s “destiny” to rule the universe. Valvatorez aspires to take care of his little family as best as he can, and so ends of getting a job in the corrupternment (but only because more “ordinary” employers were too intimidated by his reputation to hire him), though he’ll probably wind up in Hades due to slowly losing his power. All in all, it seems like a happy ending for those two.
As for Nemo, or the man who would’ve become Nemo, I’m torn between speculating that Artina surviving the war changes nothing about his own hatred for humanity or it helps him keep hope in the kindness of people. Regardless of whether he survives the war somehow or not, he might dedicate the rest of his (after)life helping others the way Artina helped him, or simply trying to find her to make up for the trouble that he believes he caused her. Or maybe he’s able to pass on and become a Prinny without waiting four centuries.
But if he doesn’t go about wanting to end all life on earth with his stupidly long and complicated scheming, that opens up a problem with those damn aliens, because Nemo’s the one who somehow gets them to NOT blow up the earth. Perhaps something else will stop them or they’ll just not go to Earth at all, but there’s also the matter of Desco not existing because Nemo’s the one who apparently(?) supported the research that went into making her. Maybe she’d be created at a much later time, at a point where Fuka had grown out of her desire for a younger sibling or her dream to conquer the world. For that matter, who knows what sort of ripple effect hijinks this could mean for Fuka? She might have a different fate, a different personality, someone else may be born in her place or her entire family tree could be drastically altered. Emizel’s life could be different, too, as it might take even longer to stop being a brat since there’s no netherworld-ending situation that forces him to mature. Though I’m entertaining the thought of “something” happening to Hugo, forcing Emizel to live in the lowest level of the netherworld and work in Hades just to make ends meet while he plots to claw his way back to the top.
And what about the rest of the Disgaea series at large? After all, 400 years worth of a ripple effect could have an effect on a LOT of things. Maybe D1 will follow the bad ending where Lamington is killed and Laharl becomes a Prinny. Maybe that could cause the events of DD2 to follow its bad ending where the entire netherworld is destroyed because Etna and Flonne (who doesn’t have access to her Pure Flonne form) don’t’t have the power to stop Xenolith, or because angels don’t go to the netherworld to slow down the rate of its destruction since it’s unlikely ANYONE would want to go to the place where the murderer of their Seraph came from. Maybe Zenon never reincarnates, making the plot of D2 never happen and ensuring the residents of Veldime remain happy, but also dooming Zenon to continue her lonely, paranoid existence. Maybe Almaz becomes the Overlord like in that one ending for D3, which is eventually accepted by his friends and he tries to share the responsibilities with Mao, who just wants to defeat him and earn the title rightfully.
Then again, this is all stupid speculation from someone who’s sick and been up since 12AM, so who knows how likely any of this would be. I’m almost curious to see if anyone responds to this mess and has their own ideas about what could happen. All I know is...I might actually write about this.

ok, so the writer as memes. I want all the answers. ALL. OF. THEM.
Here you go, @everlarkingjoshifer! Thanks for the ask, I loved doing this!
I answered some of the questions in previous asks so, to simplify, I added the links here.
1. Favorite place to write. 

2. Favorite part of writing. Plotting and outlining. I just let my mind wander, coming up with scenarios and possibilities.

3. Least favorite part of writing. Second guessing the choices I make, followed by all those pesky questions that sometimes creep into my mind.
4. Do you have writing habits or rituals? 

5. Books or authors that influenced your style the most. THG trilogy, obviously, that’s the universe that got me into fan fiction in the first place. But Graham Greene has also had a great impact on my writing.

6. Favorite character you ever created.
 I haven’t really created many original characters, but there’s this girl from D1 who will make an appearance in WIWTTW. I like her a lot. I might even write an outtake from her POV.
7. Favorite author. 

8. Favorite trope to write. 

9. Least favorite trope to write. 
10. Pick a writer to co-write a book with and tell us what you’d write about. I’d love to write something with Mary Hoffman. I love her “Stravaganza” books. It would be awesome to work on something like that. In the fan fiction world, I’d love to do something with @notanislander. Yes, Carrie, you! I think we’d have a great time figuring out a story. Probably something about Everlark not getting together right away ;)
11. Describe your writing process from scratch to finish.
A. Have an idea (usually these come when I’m watching/reading something that inspires me, or while I’m in the shower. 
B. Write down the basics. 
C. Fill in the gaps in the plot (sometimes I even include bits of dialogue into this step) 
D. Divide de plot into segments (chapters). E. Write, aka develop each one of the points in the outline. 

12. How do you deal with self-doubts? Depends on how much of the story I have. Sometimes I ask someone to read my stuff and comment. But mostly I just clench my jaw and hit the “post” button. 

13. How do you deal with writers block? Sometimes I go back to reread stuff I’ve written, or I go over the plots I have stored to see if something catches my eye. I also ask for prompts from other blogs or participate in writing challenges. @promptsinpanem​, @everlarkficexchange​, and  @everlarkbirthdaydrabbles have all been great for me, having an idea and a due date pushes me to get my act together. 

14. What’s the most research you ever put into a book? I haven’t done a lot of research yet. But I always try to check small facts here and there. 

15. Where does your inspiration come from? Most of my inspiration comes from THG trilogy. Everything I’ve posted so far is fan fiction and most of it is either canon compliant or in Panem. So that entire universe has proven to be a great source of inspiration for me. 

16. Where do you take your motivation from? Have you ever reread something you wrote and wondered where those words or ideas came from? I’m constantly surprised by some of the passages I’ve written and I’m curious to see what else I can come up with. That curiosity is what drives me to keep on writing. And, on the days when that isn’t enough, the comments and reviews from my readers also stop me from giving up.

17. On average, how much writing do you get done in a day?  

18. What’s your revision or rewriting process like? Slow. Basically I read and reread what I have. This is where most of my insecurities creep up on me. Sometimes I’ll change a single sentence many times, only to discover that the best version was the first one. 

19. First line of a WIP you’re working on. 
Gale Hawthorne couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Her blond hair, loosely tied in a messy bun at her nape, shone like spun gold under the relentless summer sun.” (Strawberry Swing my submission to this year’s @mores2sl​ collection)
20. Post a snippet of a WIP you’re working on.

21. Post the last sentence you wrote in one of your WIP’s.
 
“It looks great. The ground floor looks like one of the houses from the old merchant quarter.” Looking out into the street, Haymitch added, “I hope you’re prepared for a big shock, a lot has changed since you left.” (Why I Went to the Woods)
22. How many drafts do you need until you’re satisfied and a project is ultimately done for you?
 Depends. Usually, my first draft is little more than a simple outline. Sometimes my second draft fells complete but, most times, it takes three drafts to add all the details and points that I want into a story.
23. Single or multi POV, and why? I like multi POVs because they give you allow a deeper understanding of what’s happening in the story. I like exploring the different sides of every story.

24. Poetry or prose, and why? Prose. My brain simply doesn’t compute poetry. 

25. Linear or non-linear, and why? 
26. Standalone or series, and why?
27. Do you share rough drafts or do you wait until it’s all polished? Sometimes I share rough drafts but I try to polish as much as possible before showing my drafts to anyone.
28. And who do you share them with? I have a handful of betas I rely on from time to time. 
@burkygirl, @xerxia31​, @thegirlfromoverthepond​, @everlarkingjoshifer​, @titaniasfics​, @pinksnailsaver​, and @randomnoteforfuturereference​ have all come to my aid at one point or another.
29. Who do you write for? Me!

30. Favorite line you’ve ever written.
 Wow, that’s a difficult question! This is the first one that came to mind: 
Anyone watching would have noticed how they mirrored each other, flustered and humming with nervous energy. But no one was watching, and they were so consumed with each other’s presence they failed to notice the reciprocity in each other’s gaze. (One Victor CH9)
31. Hardest character to write. Gale Hawthorne. 
Maybe it’s because I’m nothing like him, or because Gale’s Window was my very fist fic. But I’ve always had a hard time channeling him.
32. Easiest character to write.
 It depends on the day and the story. For the most part, I enjoy writing Peeta. He’s usually easier than Katniss. And I absolutely loved writing Haymitch! Can’t wait to do it again.
33. Do you listen to music when you’re writing? Not if I’m alone. Sometimes I write during my commute, or while the hubs is watching TV, so I use music to block out the noise.

34. Handwritten notes or typed notes? Typed. Always. 

35. Tell some backstory details about one of your characters in your story Capitol Life. Both Katniss and Peeta are recruited by Haymitch to become spies for the rebels.
 Peeta has to fake his death in order to escape District 12.
36. A spoiler for story Why I Went Back to the Woods. Peeta and Katniss will run into each other in the woods.

37. Most inspirational quote you’ve ever read or heard that’s still important to you. Here are two:
Procrastination is the thief of time. Charles Dickens. It’s simple, but it reminds me of what I’m losing when I just let time slip by.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Oscar Wilde. A beautiful reminder that we have to look beyond what’s there and strive for something better.

38. Have you shared your outline of your story One Victor with someone? If so, what did they think of it? Yes, I have. They thought it was good but suggested a few changes for the ending. I haven’t reached that part yet, but I’ll probably follow the advise they gave me.

39. Do you base your characters of real people or not? If so, tell us about one.
 I always try to keep my characters as close to canon as possible, but my version of Peeta in Weekend Getaway is heavily inspired by someone I met when I was a teenager.
40. Original Fiction or Fanfiction, and why? As a reader I love both. As a writer… Fanfiction, at least for now. Who knows what the future holds. 

41. How many stories do you work on at one time? Honestly, I can’t really focus on more than one story at a time. That’s why my WIPs progress so slowly. If I get distracted by a new project I put everything else on hold while I finish the new thing. 

42. How do you figure out your characters looks, personality, etc. The characters I’ve created so far exist within THG universe, so I’ve based my descriptions on information from the books. 

43. Are you an avid reader? YES!

44. Best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten. “Describe what the character is feeling as if you want the reader to feel the same thing.“

45. Worst piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten. An anonymous comment from someone who clearly didn’t even finish reading the chapter and who had issues with the relationship portrayed in the fic in question. The truth is that I shared the reviewer’s POV. If they had finished reading, they would have seen that the characters were discussing those exact issues. 
The way it was the review was angry and useless.
46. What would your story One Victor look like as a tv show or movie? Here and Here are two inspiration boards for it.
47. Do you start with characters or plot when working on a new story? Since I always use the same characters… plot. 

48. Favorite genre to write in. Romance, humor, suspense.
49. What do you find the hardest to write in a story, the beginning, the middle or the end? The middle. The beginning is always exciting and the end feels like you’ve accomplished something. But the middle is no man’s land. 

50. Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had. Honestly…. I’m drawing a blank…

51. Describe the aesthetic of your story Capitol Life in 5 sentences or words.
 Let’s see… cold, dreary, desolate, opulent, soft. I know it sounds a bit contradictory, but the story is divided into two sections. It’s probably easier to check out my inspiration board for it.
52. How did writing change you? It’s made me happier. It’s allowed me to get in touch with myself. I get to explore my thoughts and my imagination in a way I didn’t before. It’s liberating.

53. What does writing mean to you? It’s a challenge. The challenge of finding the right words to tell a good story. I don’t always succeed, but I really enjoy trying. 

54. Any writing advice you want to share? Write to find peace, to find freedom, to fill your life with fantasy and adventure, with romance. Write to make yourself smile.
