#Oh fandom

[jeannetterankin]

don't mind me, I'm just hopping in the time machine to go talk to the old ladies in 1933 who just come out of the movie theater from seeing Little Women so that I can listen to them complain about how it's not as good as the 1917 one (but talkies never are! they don't make motion pictures like they used to!) and then the oldest of them pipes up that none of them have any right to complain because SHE read volume one when it first came out in 1868 and had to wait a whole year for volume two and then all her theories got jossed by it and her ships were sunk, so none of them know true pain

I saw your post about "feel free to vent" and god, I don’t even think that I love that pathetic guyfailure in your way, but I follow you and read your posts, because they bring me joy (although I don’t always agree with everything you say) and you’re one of the few people who’s willing to talk about how unhinged, pathetic and entirely deranged jiang zongzhu is. I’m so fucking tired of jc fandom, the way they turned him into something entirely unrecognisable from his canon self, turned him into weepy little bitch with gaping hole for every single "gege" on the block to fuck.

They make me genuinely hate him. I see that oc!jc committing identity fraud and I hate him. I hate him so much. My only content in this fandom is the novel, it’s the only thing that provides me with content. How fucking delightful he is there? I don’t fucking get. Jc stans say you’re a fucking jc anti or whatever the fuck, but no one actually hates jc more than his fucking stans do. the fucking torture of watching your fave being flandarised. their fucking omegaverse rotten brains yelling and crying about his tiny waist and childbearing thighs. Have you seen the art of him? What kind of caricature they turn him into? Fucking twink that will be blown away by the wind and his "geges" that will catch him midair and fuck everliving fuck out of him because uwu he did nothing wrong, he’s innocent, he’s little precious baby boy meowmeow tsundere. They yell so hard about how misunderstood he is, but they’re the ones misunderstanding his character most. They have no respect for canon material. Most of them haven’t read the fucking novel because they HaTe wAnGxIAn sO mUcH, they pick up disgusting fanon bullshit and run with it claiming it somehow to be canon.

Canon!jc would fucking rip that oc!jc in tiny little shreds, torture him violently and vomit on his corpse.

what have they turned his relationship with jin ling into? what are they fucking doing to that precious golden brat? why no one fucking enjoys their canon relationship that don’t lack complexity and depth. Why do they turn him into weird kid obsessed with his uncle? who has no life outside his uncle, who fights "jiujiu stealers" like it’s his full time job??? Jin ling is his own character, he’s going through so much, his fucking family is insane, he’s dealing with bullying, he’s working his ass off to impress his uncle who put high expectations on him.

what they turn "geges" into? they come and yell how lwj has no personality, that he’s just a "top" but then they do exactly the same shit with other characters? they’re genuinely making me hate lxc. I despise xicheng with burning fucking passion. I’m in a ooc competition, and xicheng stans are my opponents *insert squidward here*

chengxian makes my fucking blood boil because THATS ONE WAY TO ENTIRELY MISUNDERSTAND BOTH OF THEIR CHARACTERS AND TURN COMPELLING "BROTHER" CONFLICT INTO THE MOST BORING FUCKING SHIT THAT THE EARTH HAS WITNESSED. they way they just go OMG WWX LOVED JC SOOOOOO MUCH LWJ HATES JC BECAUSE HE KNOWS WWX LOVES HIM MORE THAN ANYTHING, HIS SACRIFICE IS AN ACT OF LOVE, HE LOVED HIM, HE DID IT OUT OF LOVE. why would they entirely erase wwx’s character development like that? wwx’s entire fucking arc is about learning to see his self worth, learning that the life he had at lotus pier wasn’t it, FUCKING HELL yllz literally was comforting himself with thoughts of never meeting the jiangs. My guy literally was lying there unable to sleep and was thinking about how running away from dogs and being a beggar is infinitely better than the jiangs. It’s literally in the fucking book. I don’t fucking GET IT.

I remember one time mentioning that of fucking COURSE, the manhua would erase the "golden core reveal" as in how jc lost it, because ultimately wangxian is the most important part of the story and jc is some guy wwx finally gets rid of in order to digest his traumas in a safer space and find happiness elsewhere because clearly he wasn’t happy at lotus pier. and they fucking??? came up with an AU???? as a response to me????? where wwx comes back to lotus pier because HE LOVES JC MORE THAN ANYTHING WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO very good argument, very nice talk.

I’m so fucking sick and tired, I muted jc’s name and tag on twitter and here even though I genuinely like the guy. It pains me. It causes me fucking brain damage. I want to enjoy my fandom experience, I want to be able to talk about this dudenobody and have fun. I so hate being here, I want to be free.

I’m so sorry to vent like that. 😭

I will use this as a general jump start of fandom griping regarding this entire debacle since this, this right here, should not be a normal thing that fandom has to send anonymously due to being scared of the vitriolic backlash received.

I have been nice, I have been sarcastic, I have been a troll, and despite my initial kindness and patience when I first started interacting with this fandom, I was met with consistent death threats and homophobia about a fictional male character and why I am less then patient now for Jiang Cheng stans. Other people should not HAVE to apologize for not enjoying a completely made up fandom persona and getting bit at for this. By all means go ahead and enjoy a fanon persona, by all means ask for supporting evidence when someone is arguing they do not like a character.

I interact with other Jiang Cheng fans just fine outside of this, they are not the ones I speak of in this. The ones I am addressing are the vitriolic ones that are angry about anything close to being taken as "anti" regarding an in story antagonist that does exhibit antagonistic behavior time and again with leading text and citations. It doesn't matter if he is someone that is enjoyed, somehow it's "wrong".

And hey. I DO disagree on several different interpretations in this fandom, but NONE of them have ever garnered the hate I have gotten in my 3 years in this fandom the way I chose to discuss Jiang Cheng. When told to use another tag, it was done, but again it was done incorrectly, when I stopped using anti at the behest of other fans, I did because hey, it was able to reach a wider audience, that did enjoy the character himself and wanted deeper understanding outside of fanon only that pervaded the tag meant for "Jiang Cheng".

I certainly do not deny his instances of kindness, but how dare I ascertain that all if this in context is not a reflection of positivity for him within the plot he is meant for, no matter time and again saying he has an opening for himself to do better in the future for others that have yet to be hurt by him, or are willing to salvage what they still have.

I should not have to be told I just want to fuck a dude as a "joke" and a comeback because of how I go and point out what he's like in the work. That is casual homophobia and shockingly sexual harassment. Or be told to think of it as a sibling who uses drugs and it's therefore alright to demean said character, or deny the blatant abuse this character exhibits or uses because he also had been abused by an adult.

I do not need to be tolerant of a side of fandom due to all the above treatment and others deal with.

The secret gift.

Synopsis: The truth behind Ethan's first Christmas with Aspen's family.

For @choicesficwriterscreations holiday event using the prompt buying a naughty present for LI and mum ends up on the line behind them.

Jade and Tatum giggled once more in a hushed tone as they threw another ball of wrapping paper at Ethan who had, after a long day at work, passed out on the couch. He snored lightly and the girls took turns throwing the paper in tune with his snores.

Aspen walked in, noticing the scene before her, the girls looked at their mother for approval but on this rare occasion she gave them a glare, yet gently whispering.

"Stop it you two. He's had a difficult day and whatever he may say, he tires out. "

She nudged them back to actually begin wrapping the gifts. Since only Jonah was actually young enough for the whole Santa thing, he was already tucked in and fast asleep. The girls were on wrapping duty while Aspen put things in order in the kitchen, Ethan had done most of it when she had been out Christmas shopping and picking the girls up from the airport, who had visited her parents in Florida for Christmas break.

She gazed at the living room as she cleaned up, joining her family in the warm glow of the Christmas tree. She noticed Ethan had woken up and was entertaining the girls who were now too busy laughing.

Aspen walked in, wrapping her arms around Ethan's neck from the back as one of his hands came to rest atop hers. He looked up smiling at his wife, they shared a quick kiss before Aspen joined him on the couch.

Pulling the throw around their bodies, they stared at each other, momentarily forgetting their company.

"Dada! You were telling us about your first Christmas at Nana's. " Tatum reminded, grinning slightly.

"What about it? "

"Don't you think you forgot to mention something? Cause Nana told us quite a story. " Jade chided, throwing a furtive glance at her mother.

Ethan's eyes followed to land on his wife who seemed to have suddenly caught on, going red and flustered, she glared at Jade for broaching the subject. Curious, Ethan asked,

"What did she say? "

"Oh, a terrible mistake, a horrible run in. " Jade continued, Tatum threw herself onto the carpet, putting up a show of distress.

" Jade Ivy Ramsey!! Stop it! "

"It's the reason mom took you to Florida for Christmas. "

Ethan's head once again turned to his wife who looked a little resigned and uncomfortable as she began explaining.

"Remember how I called you to join me after I was in Tampa? It's cause my mom.... met me at the check out. "

"Yeah! Nana said you were buying Dad a present but it was a secret and Nana found out so she threatened to tell him unless he joined you for Christmas. "

"What was it, the gift? "

"Uh,... his favorite....coffee machine. He hated the hospital coffee. " She replied a little lamely, thankfully the girls didn't catch on, convinced by their mothers reply, Ethan however, was the better judge.

Soon after, they all headed to bed and Ethan finally confronted his wife.

"The coffee machine? "

"Uh yeah.. About that. " She answered sheepishly, once again her cheeks turning red at the old memory.

"Remember the Christmas special lingerie? "

"Of course I do. " Ethan replied, smirking at the various instances, which sadly ended when the flimsy cloth was unable to put up with their list filled frenzy. Suddenly, his brows drew together, confused at the change of subject.

"My mom caught me buying that. "

"You... What? " Ethan's mouth fell open, eyes flicking with horror, he continued staring mutely at his wife.

"I was in the check out line and mum happened to be behind me. I was talking to Sienna at the time, telling her how you would definitely appreciate the gift, with red being your favorite and all.. I got a little carried away.. Anyway, she firmly insisted that she simply must meet the man who would 'in so many ways ravage me' and 'make it the best Christmas Eve and morning ever. "

"No No... Penny.. She knew the whole time! "

"Since the first time she met you. At least she didn't tell the girls the whole truth, I need to have a word with her about that. "

He sat down on the bed, sighing heavily before meeting his wife's gaze.

Aspen straddled him, taking his jaw in her hand and connecting his lips to hers. Pushing him onto his elbows, she gently sucked at his pulse point, soothing it with her tongue. He moaned loudly as she moved away to pull her shirt off.

" I have always maintained you will be the death of me, Rookie. "

"Don't you dare tell me you don't like it. How about I try to find that lingerie again? "

Canon says Thrawn was born around 59BBY.

The Mandalorian timeline started about nine years later, plus Filoni said it's had time jumps, so call it 12 years after Yavin. Thrawn is in his 70s, was around 60 when space whaled, 45ish when he joined the Empire.

When 70 years old you are, look as good you will not.

I've been thinking quite a bit about the NYT Taylor op-ed and the aftermath. And what it's crystalised for me is how difficult people find it to argue 'my belief is reasonable' without also arguing 'and everyone else is wrong and this is the only correct belief'. And how silly and damaging the second is within fandom - where you don't know and it doesn't matter.

I saw this screenshot about Taylor - and I'm posting it because I want to really encourage people who are approaching this logic to take a step back and understand that there is an alternative:

I don't think telling stories about Taylor is weird (or if it is it is weird int the glorious way all people are deeply weird). The first part of these statements is fine. But the second part is both obviously untrue and deeply fucked up; it is definitely not weird for straight people to write songs inspired by art their friends love, or draw daisies that look like daisies their friends have posted.

Speculating about which prominent people are queer is definitely part of queer culture - and I would argue that in that context it can be good actually. But within a fandom context it gets warped into something else very easily - and you can see that in how often people present themselves as fans start to argue that the only options for the person they're talking about are: Gay or Bad.

I understand that in this case people feel like the response to the NYT piece has suggested that they're bad and wrong (I would argue that the most significant response to the NYT piece is about it being in the NYT - and it's not relevant to what fans who are not writing in NYT are doing - but I can see that people feel differently). And they're choosing to respond to that feeling that they're bad and wrong by pushing those feelings on to Taylor

What if nobody had to be weird or wrong? What if it was really OK to see queerness in someone's life and work and not have to prove that no straight person would do so? What if there were other ways of dealing with something feeling shitty than proving that someone else was wrong?

As well as being pretty bad for the people involved, I think this drawing of lines is pretty incompatible with the joys and strengths of queer culture. Trying to make the line clear and insisting that no straight person would ever do X - is actually leaving less space for queer people in general - and closeted queer people in particular. A lot of queer culture is about making space within that ambiguity - and I just don't think that ending that ambiguity - demanding clear lines and bright lights - is good for queer people or queer culture.

Dear fandom,

I can't believe in this day and age, I am still running into people spelling out accents phonetically (just don't) and making up nicknames for characters no one would ever use, and for characters who would never allow it.

(For example, no, I cannot believe Talia al Ghul would allow anyone ever to call her "Tals" - she would eviscerate them and I don't mean verbally! Come on, people! She might - and that's very iffy - allow Jason to call her "T" occasionally, but that's about it. In every fandom I've been in, there is some variation of this, and it's always a terrible nickname and not in the usual ways nicknames can be terrible and I find it jarring every time. Also I am not talking about using a bad nickname to get under someone's skin - I mean sincere usage.)

no love,

me

[selfconsciousfangirl]

Band of Brothers friends: would you be kind enough to share any wonderful character guide with me, pretty pls. You know, those How to tell your dark haired white guy from a dozen other dark haired white guys? I’ve seen them but failed to save them, more the fool me

[notfromcold]

Love when I see a bad take and I'm like "let me just ~block~ this person real quick." And it turns out I've already blocked them for previous (apparently forgettable) bad takes.

Consistency really is the only virtue worth having.

Sometimes the timeline falls in perfect harmony 👀😂

Finally started bungou stray dogs and dear God but Dazai ticks all the boxes for characters the Internet fandom both loves and severely mischaracterises OH THE AGONY! I agree that he's a really excellent character but once again clearly in the minority of "he's interesting because of the murder not despite of it"

How rarely do we get protagonists that are doing all the nice shonen stuff of saving people while at the same time being completely amoral lunatics?? WHY WOULD YOU DILUTE THAT BY WRITING HIM AS A MANIPULATOR WITH A SOFT HEART??!! NO! Bad fandom! We have so many of them!! Give me less of woobified!Dazai whose secretly a Good Egg (boring, seen before, not really congruent with Canon) and more a Dazai who has clearly learned all the steps to belong to the "saving people side" without actually feeling it, because that's fascinating.

The roller coaster of seeing the amount of bsd fics on ao3 (yay) only to realise that all the popular ones (as far as I've seen) are not only Secretly a Soft Marshmallow Dazai ON TOP OF being extremely soft Dazai/Chuuya

ONCE AGAIN SHIT DISAPPOINT ME??? THE CHUYA/DAZAI SHIP IS INTERESTING BC IT'S FUCKED UP?? WHY WOULD YOU MAKE IT COOKUE CUTTER THEY ARE LOVEY DOVEY?? That's not? Their dynamic!??

It's not even like you are deprived of options if that's the type of story you want to see Dazai in? If you want cute (instead of antagonistic) rivalryKumikuda is right there! if you'd rather have some soft friends to lovers, oh look Odasuke for the taking (in the two flavours of tragedy and canon divergent even!). Feeling like mentor/mentee? Both Atsushi as well as Yukichi might scratch that itch.

Like the possibilities are endless without having to ooc the dazai/chuya dynamic into complete oblivion...

[jiangwanyinscatmom]

I absolutely hate how a big part of the fandom just decided to make jc and lxc the fandom’s bicycles. One is a homophobic asshole with no game who was even black listed by matchmakers and the other is just a simple guy who only cares about keeping the peace and protecting his brother and his sect.

No one wants the first one and the second one doesn’t want anyone

Sadly that is the way of the fandom life, more often than not the focal point of them are the ships that can be used as a form of interaction and finding a community.

And also, why fandom self-curation should be an expected mandatory rule, as well as coming across whatever disagreements arise, ship and let ship as well as remembering what you or they like is not expected to be a mandatory thing everyone can or will enjoy. Keep to your own circle of enjoyment without forcing or claiming it to be a thing within the plots themselves.

All for analysis within reasonable expectations that the plot and author laid forth, anything further is interpretation that can and is liable for criticism and dislike etc. OOC is a fandom trope that will follow anything and everything, it's about the way you go about insisting it's validity of interpretation against what is spelled out by text reference and author intent. Death of the author and all that, is only so valid for fan interpretations that do not skew and outright deny the themes and points of character and story beats.

Together.

Synopsis: The aftermath of the attack comes with a waterfall of feelings.But is it enough to stop pretending?

Ethan's POV

Category: Angsty fluff. I can never resist a happy ending

Sunlight peeked through the blinds at the blissful couple nestled in sleeps abode. I was the first to stir, stretching as consciousness returned, slowly opening one eye, then another before opening both to stare at the back of the woman who occupied every inch of my soul.

Her body moved rhythmically, even breaths for which I was grateful, ever since the attack seeing her felt like mercy on my heart. I would have died inside had she not made it. I loved her, with every fiber of my being, I did. And I would show her just how much I did, every single moment that we spent together.

I smiled, closing my eyes and sleep lulled me back into its abode.

**********

"Ethan? Hey. " A gentle nudge against my shoulder followed by a kiss on my forehead roused me. I pulled her hand in mine.

"Penny."

"Wake up, sleepyhead. It's almost noon. "

" Perfect time to come back to bed. " I turned to my side, pulling her hand with me, her body following.

"Who are you and what have you done to my Ethan? "

"It's you Rookie, what are you doing to me? "

She giggled, sitting by my side, bending over me. Suddenly water slapped against my face, making me jerk back, my eyes flying open.

"Oh, sorry. "

Aspen moved her wet hair back over her right shoulder. I looked up to see her smile sheepishly at me, leaning down to peck my lips lightly. I held her against me, her bathrobe soft against my skin, not allowing the kiss to end. Her lips moved in a perfectly synchronized manner, tasting of honey. Needing air, we broke away.

I laid back, staring at her as she brushed my hair back, her fingers running through them, instantly relaxing me.

"Why are you looking at me like that? "

"Like what? "

"With that wierd look in your eyes. " I couldn't in that moment fathom how I had ended up finding her, how I would treasure her forever.

"I was just thinking"

"About? "

I wasn't gonna tell her just yet but she meant everything to me, how I would never hurt her again. I flipped us over so that she was under me. I hovered over her, kissing her once more.

She smirked at me.

"As much as I would like to, you have a shift. At a hospital you work at, as a doctor. " She teased.

**********

Reluctantly, I picked up my belongings and car keys, giving Penny a lingering kiss, hugging her tightly.

"Someone's all lovey dovey today. " She pecked my clothed shoulder. Ignoring her astute observation, I quickly steered the conversation in a different direction

"When are you coming in again? "

"At around 7. I have a night shift today."

Noticing my slightly deflated look, she chuckled. I bade her goodbye, walking out to another day at Edenbrook.

The day continued like always, annoying interns, diagnostic cases and a couple of hours at the clinic. It was time for my shift to end, packing up my stuff I headed out, popping into the resident quaters to greet Aspen where I was informed she wasn't in yet.

I called her but she didn't answer, which was usual, and utterly annoying. I walked out to get into my car, winding through Boston traffic when the car bluetooth pinged with Penny's name.

"Hey. Where..." Her hoarse gasp shut me up.

"Ethan. Where are you? " Her laboured breath hitched as she gasped into the receiver.

My heart clenched with fear, breaking into a cold sweat I calmed my rising anxiety.

"Darling? What's wrong? "

"I need you to come quick. "

"Hold on, I'm almost there. Just hold on. " I prayed and begged her.

********

"Rookie "

"ROOKIE" Jenner barked frantically, running towards me.

"Here." A whisper called out to me from the kitchen floor.

I knelt down by Aspen's weak form, helping her into a sitting position, supporting her weight. She had a pretty bad bruise on the side of her shoulder, already turning black and blue. Jenner stood by my side, worried at the scene before him. She looked up at me and smiled weakly, trying to put on a brave face so I wouldn't worry.

" Don't worry, I just felt dizzy and blacked out. I hit the counter on my fall." She moved her arm, wincing.

"It's probably due to the anemia. You'd warned me it was a common after effect of the toxins I was exposed to. "

" You're right. I'll drive you to the hospital and get you set up. " She nodded as I picked her up.

*********

I pulled the car into the parking space, getting my seatbelt off and ready to open the door when she stopped me.

"Wait! "

"What? " I scanned her, noticing the alarmed look in her eyes.

"You can't take me inside and somebody might see me get off from your car. Drop me at the back entrance and then go home. Your shift's done, it will be suspicious if you return five minutes after I'm here. "

"Have you lost it! I'm going nowhere. "

"But, Ethan everyone will know.. about Us. " My insides fluttered at her words.. Or one word in particular. Us. I didn't care anymore.

"Then let them. " I looked at her earnestly. The way her eyes lit up at my decision had me wishing I had done it long ago.

"Let's go in, together. " I offered.

"Okay." She pushed the seatbelt off as I opened the door for her and helped her out. I steadied her, walking her in through the hospital doors.

**********

"Dr Ramsey! Um.. You're gonna..? " Marlene startled seeing me walk into Penny's room.

"Yes Marlene, I'm gonna sit by my sick girlfriend for the entire night. "

"Of course. " Marlene smiled a genuinely happy smile, leaving as she completed her last call, ready to hand over the floor to the next nurse on duty and head home.

The hospital was in quite a stir now. Hushed whispers and shocked indiscreet looks, everyone trying their best to hide their surprise and failing. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose, we weren't exactly parading being together, we just weren't hiding it anymore. I was tired of it.

Knowing how precious time was, knowing how much of it was already gone, not knowing how much was left, a chill ran down my spine just thinking about having regrets. This... Us it wasn't something to be kept like dirty secret. I wanted people to know I loved this woman and she deserved nothing less than that.

I sat lost in my thoughts when a small voice called out to me.

"Ethan."

"Rookie, hey, what's wrong? "

"Nothing.Could you just get the bed into a sitting position. " I turned the lever, pushing her slightly up.

"Thank you. For tonight. "

"What do you mean? "

Her eyes turned warm and glazed, she had beautiful eyes, the chocolate orbs stared at me with so much understanding, I couldn't help but fall in love all over again. Man, I had it bad.

"For showing how much this means to you. Us"

I simply kissed her forehead, words leaving me. I was done living safe. This was definitely a risk but when it came to her...She was worth every risk in the world.

[dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram]

Harry is not being cancelled. People are criticising him because he has in the past given indications that he supports a state that is committing genocide and has been silent while that genocide takes place.///

But it isn't happening to artists who have shown support to Israel by holding concerts there. Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Rihanna, Beyonce and many others don't have thousands of fans berating them endlessly on social media.

I don't think your evaluation of how much people are talking about different celebrities is particularly accurate. I think you're interested in Harry and find critical comments directed towards him distressing - and therefore what people are saying about him is a bigger deal to you than it would be to anyone else.

But even if you were right - who gives a fuck? Baked in here is a very odd assumption - that criticism of celebrities should or could be distributed in a way that is in somehow even or fair. This idea is absurd. How much people who are interested in a particular celebrity care about Palestine is going to depend on all sorts of variables (particularly age and ethnicity). Nothing is fairly or evenly distributed in this world - and the idea that it's a problem that criticisms of celebrities who have taken pro-apartheid positions is unevenly distributed is absurd.

I'd go further and say and ask why it would be bad if Harry was being endlessly berated by thousands of fans on social media? Harry's last expressions of support to Israel were during an Israeli attack on Gaza. If someone's supported an attack on people living in an open-air prison - then I think questions both of where they stand now, and what responsibility they have for enabling what came next are live and important questions, when the next much worse attack happens. The position of celebrities is not my political priority - but I'm not going to say that responding to what celebrities have said and done is wrong.

Most importantly - what the fuck is wrong with you that you see all this and your concern is whether Harry is getting a proportionate amount of criticism? If it distresses you put down your phone and go on a solidarity march to get some perspective.

I’ve kind of forgotten how to brain without Twitter. This is like when everyone migrated off LJ and I didn’t understand how to communicate or make friends on other platforms. I get all my stuff from Twitter. So, probably it’s good if it goes down, but it’s going to be hell while I find new places to interact with folks online and adapt to the way that other platforms shape one’s thoughts and expressions of them and interactions.

Twitter would have made me shut up and keep it pithy and not pontificate, too. I have to actually use self-control to keep myself from rambling here, wtf. At least they got rid off all the feral bots somehow?

[selfconsciousfangirl]

Guess who’s the biggest idiot who managed to nominate fandoms but forgot to actually sign up for fucking yuletide this year.

Fucking nominated the charioteer for what it’s worth. Won't be able to play. Hate myself
