#a whole world and here they are together

[starscream-is-my-wife]

Starscream then proceeded to do that really annoying thing where he edges sleeping and gets out the last second before the night passes

[starry-bi-sky]

bruce and danny being fuckign nerds together,,,, they are being the BIGGEST nerds. geeks. if you will

these losers are color-coding the most inane bullshit. they are making diagrams for things you've never even thought of. they are having the time of their lives

"what are you two doing?"

Danny, sitting criss-cross on a table, hunched over a spread of papers and a bunch of different jello cups, his back is gonna hurt SO much: color-coding jello

Bruce, sitting in a nearby chair, also criss-cross, scribbling on a graph paper: hm [agreeing]

Alfred, already exasperated and SO fond: may i ask why? and on what parameters?

Danny: we're basing it off which flavors are the most mentally stimulating and for which subjects :}

Alfred, SO fond: ah. i see.

Danny, snapping his head over to Bruce and leaning over: wh- no-- no. Buzz, I told you: lemon-flavored jello stays strictly in the 'smelling salts' category--

Bruce, still writing on the graph paper: mn. no.

Danny, nearly sprawled across his back, faux-outraged: strawberry is NOT good for math-- you fucken HEATHEN--! Give me that pen!

Bruce, did that solely to rile up Danny, now trying not to smile: hnm.

I really really like that lucanis reaches the 'there must be some way through this' realization 'off camera', so to speak, while presumably looking at rook explaining the situation to spite. it just. hits right. he gets that moment to himself after 'this place is a nightmare, why would I want to stay here' to come back into focus, to gather himself and think it through in peace, outside of the demands of anyone’s gaze (including the player’s!), while rook takes care of spite’s confusion and urgency and distress as he can’t himself in this shattered state. they're inside his soul, but he still gets that moment of privacy, with rook and spite there and supporting but not intruding. idk there's just something so good and right-feeling about it. rook's presence in lucanis' mind at its most vulnerable and frozen could have felt SO invasive if the quest wasn't written as skillfully as it is, and I get skeeved out by that kind of thing incredibly easily so it's a testament to how well it's done that it always feels safe and supportive. lucanis has had both his bodily and psychological (slash spiritual/existential) integrity and autonomy violated so brutally and repeatedly, and having even the way the camera perceives him here grant him the dignity and respect and privacy of soul he hasn’t experienced in a long time… it’s a whole thing huh. No wonder it’s taken me a while to put it into words lol 

(also what a contrast to what solas and rook have got going on, and what a sly way to slide the point of comparison in there to build to the thematic whole. the solas version of this IS of course wildly invasive and skeeves me out but in the intended delighted horror movie way. solas, too, was let into someone’s soul through the cracks in the wake of a traumatic event, and he IMMEDIATELY sought to turn it to his own benefit and use that trauma as a weapon against them fhdsja I’m sorry but it’s just such a character-revealing instinct for him to act on without hesitation and I love how terrible he is, it’s all so unforgivably premeditated and consistent.

rook acting out of the desire to make sure lucanis is ok vs. solas going ‘well. When life gives you oops killed my friend, make dead friend poisoned lemonade and make his loved ones drink it. this sunk cost fallacy isn’t going to perpetuate itself’ is such a neat contrast and it’s not in your face about it but it’s still there, deep and solid down in the thematic narrative. rook doesn’t do anything to or in lucanis’ mind, really — they negotiate their way through the layers of defense and are let through, and they help him make the whole thing more explicable, but they never exert any force or go rooting around for anything that doesn’t present itself to them first. solas goes about gathering ammo for when he's going to nothing personel kid this person from like the first moment fhdskh doesn't waste a second before he's on that gaslight gatekeep girlboss grind. the fact that the game goes out of its way to show there IS a respectful, non-selfish and kind version of this process makes what solas is doing even more deliciously awful (glee) and rook and lucanis’ relationship (platonic, romantic, whatever it might be in any given playthrough) all the more moving to me)

[seleneprince]

So, after going back to my reincarnations manwha phase and thanks to @la-patrona-magdalena's beautiful reincarnation au work, Don't Look At Me! (sí esto es culpa tuya pendeja) i'm afraid my head just got more ideas for drafts instead of finishing the ones i already have (i swear i haven't forgotten my other works, i write a little of each everyday, i just have the attention span of a fish hshshsh)

Anyway, to no one's surprise, my favourites are the ones about modern day people waking up as a novel's villainess or secondary character, and the ones where those same characters reincarnate in the past after dying. And so, to avoid that fate, they decide to take different decisions and sometimes atone for their mistakes against other characters, unknowingly changing the whole plot towards them.

Well...

Yandere! Batfam au where the former "villainesses" are Mrs Wayne, Batsis and Little Flower, Mrs Wayne's youngest daughter with another man. Stupid names, I know, but I can't exactly give them proper names yet. The plot about them is the same as my current au (because i love my ocs/reader-inserts too much and i always picture them when i imagine scenarios lol), except with a slight twist.

Mrs Wayne becomes known for being a snob, cruel woman who enjoys having power and uses it for her and her kids' benefit even at the expense of others. She has no qualms in enacting said power to humiliate others when she sees fit and even just to feed her ego. She's dangerous, twisted and too confident in her high-standing to realise her weaknesses. Her only redeeming quality in everyone's eyes is that she genuinely loves her daughters and has a good relationship with them.

Batsis, or the Wayne Heiress, is every inch of her mother's daughter. She acts like this stereotypical rich girl with everything handled to her in silver platter simply for being rich and pretty. She's manipulative and gets a kick out of treating people like pawns in her own secret games. A great actress who weaponises her looks and strong resemblance to Martha Wayne to twist the narrative in her favour and get away with anything she does. Her arrogance becomes her kryptonite.

And last, the Little Flower. Or just Flower. The youngest but not less dangerous. A spoiled and vain little brat used to being coddled and protected by both her mother and sister, growing up surrounded by luxury and a set of privileges that only belong to her through a stolen family name, which it's not actually hers. She charms grown ups with her innocent aura and cute smiles, but she hates when things don't go her way. And if determined, she can be as lethal as her mother. Her age is her allibi to avoid guilt for her acts. Until it doesn't work anymore.

Then surprise, the "protagonist" appears. It doesn't matter her name, for the fate is always the same. The Batfam become fond of her, obsessively so, and the villainesses, fearing their positions will be threatened, do everything in their power to get rid of the protagonist. Unfortunately, becaose of manwha logic, the girl survives everything and miraculously manages to get out by showing off how good and pure and so different she is from those three, slowly inserting herself in the narrative while they get pushed out away. Eventually, of course, the three of them meet their end. Mrs Wayne is murdered in a petty revenge plot, Batsis falls into a deadly trap because of her hubris and Little Flower dies in an accident. Their story seems over...until they come back, waking up in the past before shit went down.

Except it's not really them. The three new "villainesses" come from an alternative universe where they, well, they weren't great people either but things were definitely better than this one. Their memories are mixed with those of the real villainesses, and now it's up to them to prevent their horrible deaths and find a way to leave this forsaken family before the protagonist appears.

They do their damn best to avoid that fate, doing everything differently while also adapting to their new life and accidentally changing things. They're so focused on surviving that they don't realise their behaviour is drawing attention...too much attention. And the plot is going to change drastically as their family begins to notice them more. Will it be a good or bad change? The girls don't want to know.

But one thing they're sure of: This batfamily isn't the one they're used to...and they might not let them go so easily.

What does your boyfriend/husband think about you saying you wanted to fuck a character?

Just to be clear, I'm not saying this in a judgmental way! My ex-boyfriend was just SUPER mad just because I thought a character was strong and handsome, you two don't care about that? because in my head this is not that serious...

i mean he dressed up as kiba once and then fucked my brains out, so i think it’s safe to say he isn’t fazed by my selfshipping lmao. he knows it’s just for fun!!

[lookmomitsmytmblr]

OKAY so I am re-listening to "Death and The Queen" again and I am having Thoughts™.

I can't find any info about when this drama takes place continuity-wise, but my personal placement would be after "Planet of The Ood" (4x3) and before "The Sontaran Stratagem" (4x4) because 4x4-4x6 take place directly following each other with Donna stating at the end of 4x6 that she plans to travel with the Doctor forever. Donna's determination to continue traveling w him is in keeping with the conclusion of Death and The Queen, where she comes to the decision that the Doctor IS her "happily ever after," as it were. Placing the drama after "Fires of Pompeii" and "Planet of The Ood" also makes sense with Donna's desire in the audio drama to have a break from "the extraordinary" of traveling with the Doctor (specifically, horrific death and destruction,) which adds understandable context to her seemingly being so willing to leave the Doctor after searching for him for so long.

 (Don't talk to me about the ending of Forest of The Dead. It's unlikely Donna would have left the Doctor even if she found Lee. Donna's desire to confirm whether Lee was real could be easily contextualized by her wanting to know how much of her experiences inside CAL were a fabrication, and what the supposed "perfect husband" persona would have said about her if it was drawn from her own mind. Also it was written by Moffatt so it shouldn't count anyway.)

ANyway, what I actually wanted to talk about. Notably, considerable emphasis is placed on Donna enjoying her role as Queen and especially caring for her subjects and having power to help people. A greater amount of text is dedicated to her talking about how as Queen she can care for her subjects than her love for Rudolph, even before the reveal that he is human(?) trash. Her attachment to the role of Queen that marrying Rudolph will grant her is established to be largely based upon her passion for helping people rather than luxuries associated with rank, especially in view of the montage of how royal life on Gorotainia is not as glamorous as she hoped but is still enthralled by being Queen. Later in the story, when danger has appeared, her main role in the story is sacrificing and taking the lead to protect her subjects.

Notably, when things start going downhill and Rudolph starts talking to her about the difficult choices that he must make as royalty she comments that Rudolph is “just like HIM” (the Doctor) and that she went with Rudolph to escape these darker aspects of her travels with the Doctor, specifically the hard choices that go with the role the Doctor plays in the universe (while she doesn’t connect these concepts directly, these two statements are placed very close to one another textually.)

Only when her relationship with Rudolph and role as Queen seems like it will involve some of the same dark choices that her travels with Doctor did does Donna decide she doesn’t want to be involved anymore, which is quickly reversed when she finds out she needs to become Queen in order to protect her people. (I love Donna. In case you can’t tell.)

The narrative has established that a large part of Donna’s attachment to her relationship with Rudolph is potential authority to help and guide people, and that her main interest in pursuing a life with Rudolph rather than her travels with the Doctor was her perception that her role as Queen of Gorotainia would not involve the same death and destruction she has seen with the Doctor. Perfectly understandable after experiencing something like Pompeii.

Donna’s compassion and empathy have been essential components of her character since her introduction, with her wanting to protect the Doctor despite being irritated with him and feeling sorrow for the children of a Rancoss that wanted her to be eaten in “The Runaway Bride”, her taking the time to mention Stacy in “Partners In Crime,” and literally everything in “Fires of Pompeii” and “Planet of The Ood’. Donna has always taken the time and the energy to think of others and work to protect them, even this early in her run. In view of how deeply she feels the pain of others, it is understandable that she would find the idea of a world where she could help others from a position of power without all of the death and chaos and destruction appealing, and her outrage at Rudolph for once again putting her in a position where she has to witness (and potentially be responsible for) terrible things happening to innocent people is believable. He proves that being a Gorotainian royal is like being the Last of The Time Lords. On a smaller scale, sure, but still. 

So the text (and Donna) have set up the idea of Rudolph being similar to the Doctor in role, so what is the difference? Rudolph doesn’t much care about people. He is willing to sacrifice his own people quite coldly.

The Doctor does care about people. How good of a person he is, or how good of a job he does caring for people is up for debate, but he cares.

Which all leads me to this quote from “Beautiful Chaos,” that I cannot believe is cannon and real and published.

Why does Donna love the Doctor?

"I wish you could see what I see. We've been to places, to worlds, to futures and pasts you could only dream about. I think half of them I dreamed up because they can't be real. But they are. And everywhere we go, we make a difference. We put things right, we make people happier. That's what the Doctor is all about. He finds a way for the universe to make sense. And I love him for it.”

Donna Noble wants to make a difference. No matter where she goes, she cannot escape the death and pain and suffering and chaos and nonsense that is the universe, and she can’t help but want to help. And right there beside her, the Doctor is working to put things right too. And she loves him for it.

We have this entire drama dedicated to Donna wanting to make a difference, while also escaping the darkness of the universe, and she learns she can’t. There are no happily ever afters.

Except with the Doctor.

I have so many feelings guys.

[motherish]

4/9.♡ I got to spend the entire day with my best friend. 👯‍♀️

🐣 I love Keii. You’re probably gonna hear me say that a lot cause I do LOL this was such a good day!? 🐳 And JUST the distraction I needed!!!

🌼 We went and sat at a cafe that’s home to my fav coconut coffee AND my fav Vietnamese coffee! I tend to get 1 tried & true drink and 1 new drink because I have no self control on my coffee anyway. 🤷 The new one I tried was good but way too sweet. Old me woulda loooved it but new me? (real coffee drinker me 💁) can’t hang! I was curious as to how much it would cost to get every coffee drink on the menu.. $110. Keii and I could totally split that?? 👀 Why do I kinda wanna do it.. I’d warn them ahead of time LOLL but 👁️

🌳 Afterwards we stopped by ANOTHER cafe, but this time to grab lunch! Almost got myself stuck in the smallest space I ever seen in my damn LIFE 😑 and in the weirdest parking lot ever? Keii and I were like ?? What is this place? Didn’t even feel like we were in Vegas anymore LOL thank god for back up cameras cause uhhh if I didn’t have that? Yeah every car getting dented. 🤥

🪻The food was good! I really liked what I had and the ambience and overall presentation was very nice? I feel like this is a place you go to take photos! I wanna bring a Baku plushie here lol! 🤓 There were some older ladies that were there before us and were still there as we paid for the bill and left. I told Keii that’s gonna be us as old ladies just yammering away. 😌 I mean we already do that lol but what I mean is we growing old together!!! 🧶

🦋 We went back to my place to relax before the orchestra and Keii FINALLY watched chicken run! Can you believe she loves chickens and has never seen one of the best chicken movies ever? 🤨 Even the loml was like “wait you love chickens but never seen that movie?” LOL RIGHT!!! That is THE chicken movie!? 😤Blasphemous tbh. Then afterwards we watched Treasure Planet 🥹 and CRIESSSS ok by this point I made us a mojito (I haven’t had one since my bday my god I forgot how good they are) and I was feeling it Mr Krabs 🥴 so as soon as the montage came on? And Silver made his speech (you got the makings of greatness in you)? Yeah I was emotional LOLL Keii was too!! 🥲 I wish we had time to finish the movie tho! Cause then we had to go n get ready! Next time.. gonna just rewatch it tbh cause it’s so good. 😌 ALSO Keii mentioned how she feels like they modeled Jim after future Trunks and omg. I never noticed but I can totally see it? Next time you watch the movie look at the hair and the fit! That’s him!!

🍄‍🟫 LOLL. All I can do is laugh. 🌚 Cause I made us a single mojito and then I made us a double mojito and then the love of my life made us a pear blossom cocktail and it took me so fuckin long to do my makeup cause I needed to CONCENTRATE but I was feeling those drinks! 💃🕺 I couldn’t even bother with my hair I just pinned it cause the eyeliner took too much time! 🫣

🐙 Got dropped off and the merch was wack like why can’t we get cool stuff like the bag and shirt Keii had on!? 🙄 I would buy that in a heartbeat! Stopped by the restroom before the show (I always gotta pee when I drink like every 2 seconds) and… I love Keii. 🧩 Why did we have a whole ass moment in the bathroom as people were coming and going behind us 👩‍❤️‍👩 LOLLL we were taking pics and all I could think about is how Keii looks SO pretty and how I HAVE A FRIEND THAT MAKES ME FEEL SEEN! And im holding her face in my hands and getting all teary eyed cause ummmm I found my other half? 🧸 Like in this big wide world I managed to find the other part of me? Not many people get that luxury?

🪆The orchestra was a lot of fun!! The performers ninja ran onto the stage LOLL! They actually played episodes! It reminds me a lot of the Spider Man one that we went to that I absolutely loved! They played the eps as they performed the music live and it felt SO seamless! We got to see some classic episodes too! You know the ones I’m talking about! Oh. And it was in Japanese too THANK GOD! 🙄 Idk if I coulda handled Naruto’s loud ass in English.

🐝 Afterwards we got picked up and went to have Japanese bbq and god.. 🫄I haven’t had bbq in such a long time and it tasted SO good! Keii was weenie hut jr she couldn’t have much but it was total annihilation for me. 🍽️ Thank the heavens for her man cause he was cooking the meat and cutting it up and placing it on our plates LOLLL he always gets the meat just right too!!Nice n rare. 🐺

🍄 I slept so so well that night. Had just enough energy to throw on my PJs and wash my face before I was in dreamland. 💫 I just remember curling up in bed and listening to the loml say something and then I was GONE LOLL such good sleep! And after everything that’s been going on I really needed that. 🪐

🌏 It’s forever n always a good time when I’m with Keii. 🎆 I just feel very grateful to have someone in my life that I can be myself with. Having a romantic partner is wonderful and I feel so grateful for that part of my life as well? But you need friends. You hear me? If you put all your time and energy into only nurturing romantic relationships then you are going to live a very unfulfilling and lonely life. I get to have the best of both worlds and I am so so thankful for that. Next time, we gotta finish Treasure Island! But let’s start over from the beginning. 🎇

[burrythebusy]

Kagi is planning out a fancy all day long date with Hirano with multiple stops: where do they go and what do they do??? 🤔 (he's a rich and famous basketball player so unlimited budget here)

Holy cow i love you anon okay let's get going.

FIRSTLY, three words: Hot. Air. Balloon.

"Who tf uses hot air balloons anymore" they do. Because hot air balloons are fun and cool <- never been in one in my life.

But okay think about it. And by that I mean think about Dr. Stone. If you've seen it. If you haven't im gonna put it into perspective for you. Hot air balloons aren't actually that complicated (and with today's tech they are definitely safer than, say, the stone world) and people have FESTIVALS of these things. With some knowledge of weather patterns and physics and good attention hell yeah whats wrong with a hot air balloon ride. And we know Kagiura has the means to find one even if its not common. And I REALLY dont know how common they are in japan but again. Who cares.

Hirano is a pilot, so he can get a run down and know what to do plus it allows him a little more direct, simpler control. And yeah he sees the sky all the time... but being in the air with nothing between you and it, is different than flying at hundreds of kilometers an hour with you and a large hunk of steel and glass between you and the open air. A hot air balloon ride just before dawn would actually be like. Amazing. And they'd watch the sunrise together as they see it before the world below them (mostly). How cute would that be.

So let's say this is early spring ish? For the sake of sunrise/sunset times. So first on the itinerary

5h00: Hot Air Balloon ride

Not to mention their respective careers definitely make them get up early so yeah they'll live.

Anyway next. Its 100% breakfast time. Lets say the ride took about an hour so now its 6 AM and there's like no places open because dawg (there are places open but where's the fun in that) Kagiura takes them to a fairly (very) expensive hotel that he had booked from the night before (but hes gonna check out before they leave) anyway it has a kitchen and you BEST believe that Kagiura spent 10 years trying to perfect this ONE recipe for breakfast (you can decide what it is) and he makes it for hirano bc NO princess youre not lifting a finger today (he already has) (hirano would rather die than sit there and not help so it becomes them cooking together and will it end in disaster? 50/50 but it doesnt matter bc its FUN) they eat. Yay.

6h15: Breakfast

15 minutes just in case. But it takes them about an hour and a half to finish cooking and eating. So now its almost 8am what are we doing next. Kagiura has something specifically planned for the following times: 11am, 2pm, 7pm, and 10pm, in various locations, but he and Niibashi expertly made sure that each of these places were lined up so that they could make their way there throughout the day. So Hirano gets to choose what to do until 11. Hirano has some things he wants to buy and we all know he likes dressing kagiura up so suddenly hes like okay umm im gonna choose your outfit for the rest of the day. Okay hirano??

They do all this damn shopping and buy each other NUMEROUS outfits to wear and change into as the day goes on. They change and make their way to the 11am scheduled event which is a picnic that they spend doing a crosswords in a crossword book they got from a shop like nerds (its rlly hirano tho but trust he's enjoying it) picnic prepared by yours truly with the help of the one and only Niibashi Juuya and the most expertly crafted picnic basket you can find on the market. Where'd he get it from? ("I wouldnt worry about it," Kagi says. Hirano decides to listen).

11h00: Picnic. Thank god the weather is holding up amiright.

They dont rush when theyre done with eating at around noon, 12:30 perhaps. They kinda just lay around and talk. They could honestly do that until 2 but Kagiura 100% loses consciousness and wakes up in a sweat like where am I but dont worry kagiura Hirano is STILL here with about 1% less storage due to his camera roll. Its 13:30 where are we off to next sweetums. Let's go learn something.

They end up at a museum. Multiple museums. Not because kagiura planned for that but he did plan for one which was an aviation museum but Hirano went through that shit like that duck Adam in that one video and they have time until their 19h apppointment so they end up at an art museum not too far from it. Then theres another aviation museum with space stuff this time. And is that a mothherfucking planetarium. Someone's geeking out. Hirano buys Kagiura Hella garbage from the gift shops like key chains and bracelets and "they said its a space rock its not but we can pretend also its the color of your eyes" but kagiura takes it with a smile and promises to eat it later (hirano doesnt question it) (kagi loves getting gifts from Hirano sooo bad) and they have a lot of fun talking about things and watching informational videos and kagiura loves seeing hirano talk about some of what he already knows and learn some of what he doesnt. And he doesnt know how much he'll retain but the smile he's receiving he will for sure rememeber forever.

14h00: Aviation museum (and two others and planetarium)

They take a walk because the restaurant they have a reservation for is nearby and its only around 18h25 so why not. Sun set a while ago so its this beautiful dusky color. They walk across a bridge and admire the reflection of the water. They look up and see a couple of distrails and the light of planes. "Is that the ISS," Kagi asks. "No," Hirano laughs. "Have you ever wanted to go to space?" Kagi asks. "Not really," Hirano says. "I've got all I've ever wanted below the exosphere." SIGHHHHH

19h00: Dinner

It doesnt really NEED to be expensive but it kinda is because not expensive for them is kinda elevated at this point so its NICE. And they quickly change again in the car before they get into the restaurant and they just talk about the things they talk about. Schedules and plans and stuff that happened a few days ago that I forgot to tell you about and "when the hell did you plan all this" and Kagiura giggles and says not telling. The food is filling and delicious but they dont get desert because Kagiura says we will worry about that later.

A rational part of me is like... no way kagiura has a license. I think hirano does though and Kagiura is not above being Hirano's passenger princess so he blindly gives him directions and yeah they make SEVERAL wrong turns but this is why there's still an hour and a half to get there and honestly being on time isnt necessarily important dont worry about it. They're in the country now, its nice and quiet though there are still people walking about and doing whatever. Hirano is like how late can we be exactly and Kagiura is like however late we wanna be tbh. So they go to a small bar because Hirano likes his alcohol As We Know. They Talk as always except this is also hirano and kagiura so there's no limit on what they talk about. I think they sit there and talk for a long ass while really.

So its definitely well past ten PM at this point and they are no longer sober but they dont even have to drive to their last destination which is actually just a small inn on a small hill that Hirano did NOT have fun walking to but he'll live. And the reason for this very specific location and idea is because of its view once you get there. You look up and there's not a single thing obscuring the sky... except some clouds.

Holy shit.

Hirano laughs his ass off BTW.

22h00 (planned): inn and its view which, not much of a view rn

They end up staying up VERYYYY late until the clouds mostly clear up, its like 4AM at this point, but they can see everything. And since its cool out and dark they can REALLY see everything. So technically the date lasted almost 24 hours. So Kagiura is like, "Do we get a world record for the world's longest date?" Hirano pinches he cheek. "Pft. Not even close." But it was probably one of the busier days hes had even with flights, because hes only ever doing one thing on them. And yet it was also the most relaxing and the most fun and thrilling at the same time. It really is all hes ever wanted jam packed into one day (to be with him more than anyone in the world).

So considering the tired yet incredibly bright grin he gets from Hirano at about 5AM, when it looks like the sun is beginning to rise again, Kagiura can consider the date an astounding success.

And then they both pass out inside the end.

(Uhhh what nooo i didnt write a fic what are you talking about)

you know what I think I was kind of cooking with caterina/johanna hezenkoss as a concept actually. it's giving gilf andruil/ghilan'nain narrative echoes and also if hezenkoss teaches caterina to become a lich/become basically immortal by other and probably even more immoral means lucanis won't have to be first talon anymore and can focus on what he likes about the job (i.e. the actually killing people part not the admin work). everybody wins (*glados voice* ...except the ones who are dead. BUT THERE'S NO SENSE CRYING OVER EVERY MISTAKE --) . here's how toxic yuri can still save the day and also make it worse
