Things to do when you're a newly awakened alter/nonhuman!

[Sorry for any spelling or wording mistakes, I don't speak English fluently]

1/Make an alterhuman journal

Do you have an old, almost empty notebook that you haven't used since the end of your middle school years? Or a little notepad that you received for your birthday and that lies at the bottom of the drawer that you never open? Now is the time to use it!

Write in it your alter/nonhuman journey, what made you wonder if you are alter/nonhuman, the research to find your type, if you are otherlink, what made you choose your type, if you are physically nonhuman, a portrait of how you see yourself in everyday life,...

I will probably do a post in the future on what to put in your journal :3

2/Don't lie to yourself...

Some newly awakened alters/nonhumans intentionally cause false flashbacks or force themselves to shift to feel legitimate... No Don't do this, it's okay if you don't have flashbacks or past life memories, it's okay if you don't shift, it's okay if your type isn't considered "cool" or if it is considered "too common" or "too rare" to be valid. Same for polyalter/nonhumans, it's okay if you really have a lot of types, don't worry. You're valid. You are yourself. Don't lie, just let yourself exist.

3/Ask questions to educated alters/nonhumans

Asking questions is literally a cheat code for educating yourself! Don't be afraid to share your questions on this subject, you will get very rich answers. But be careful which being you are talking because maybe he is not very educated himself...

4/Be interested in categories of alter/nonhumans who do not have the same experiences/beliefs as you

It's really interesting to understand these other communities better. It makes me despair when I see beings insulting other beings because their experiences are different... Getting to know and respect others is the key to avoiding these kinds of situations.

5/Search for your type!

For alters/nonhumans whose identity is often difficult to identify (otherkin, plantkin, therian, etc.), I recommend doing a lot of research and introspection. Make a list of all the species that could match you, draw a profile, ... There are many different methods to find out who you are. But don't use tests like "What is your theriotype", they are really not reliable (for information I am a feline and I did two tests in one they said I am a wolf and in another a fox so... yeah) Searches can last months and even years, it doesn't matter if you don't find it right away or if you make a mistake. You will find it, I promise you :3.

For identities where the type is often easy to find (otherhearteds for example) you are very lucky 😅

For those whose choice of type is often voluntary (otherlink, copinglink, ect) take personality tests, do some research on what you most want/need to be,... Don't worry, you have the right to change your type!

Some alters/nonhumans don't have types, but that doesn't stop them from doing introspection exercises anyway!

For those who have already found their type, nothing prevents you from doing other research (to write in your alter/nonhuman journal, perhaps), for example fun facts about your type, types of gears not very well known that you would like to buy/make, learn how to draw it, lern their body language etc.

6/Make a den/nest!

Some being really like to make a cozy little corner just to become a little being in their cabin, and others like to make a majestic pillow fortress to protect themselves from human society. Get your covers on, let's go!

You can also create them outdoors, on your territory. (Don't forget to hydrate yourself, especially if it's hot)

Torn from Therian territory made tutorials (on YouTube) for indoor and outdoor dens, I recommend them!

7/Try to shift (if you want to/can)/species euphoria

I know that some alterhumans don't shift, can't voluntarily shift, or just don't like it, but sometimes shifting can be liberating and cause species euphoria (the opposite of species dysphoria).

If you don't want to/can't shift you can also do activities that bring you closer to your identity!

8/Make a scent marker!

If your type is territorial, I highly recommend this! It's a kind of little "potion" where you can find your scent + some plants that remind your scent and your territory, and you can spray it in your territory. Some beings add a little essential oil. Torn also made a video on the subject, "How to make a scent marker?".

⚠️Do not use environmentally harmful elements in this "potion"!⚠️

9/ Try activities related to your type/identity!

In our communities, when we talk about connecting with our identity, we often think of gears, quads, vocals,... But there are many other ways to get closer to your alter/nonhumanity! For example, a therian Ibex can practice rock climbing, a spacekin can learn astrophotography, an ockin can write a whole universe around his oc, a naturesoul can keep a journal where he tells all his past incarnations,... All forms of art can bring you closer to who you really are! (drawing, animation, story/poetry/song writing, music, etc.) No need to be an artist with incredible talent, try and have fun, it will already be a thousand times better than nothing! Even if you haven't found your type yet, let yourself be guided by your instincts and what makes you tick!

10/Read positive things about alter/nonhumanity

Sometimes, with the dramas, the insults from the anti, the non-accepting people, the doubt of really being an alter/nonhuman, the imposter syndrome,... There are times when you feel horribly wrong and misunderstood.

I really understand how it feels, when I first came into the community I was constantly asking myself "am I really therian?" "Is this just a teenage fantasy in search of identity?" "No one will support me..."And sometimes I would go on YouTube to take my mind off things and I would come across a stupid video that invited alter/nonhumans to commit the irreparable.

During this time I was only focusing on the negative part of being an alter/nonhuman. But, we must not forget these positive sides. We tend to talk more about our problems on Tumblr because for many, it's the only place they can confide freely. It's a way of "getting your emotional juices out", it's like therapy for some. But in reality, there are many positive and fun sides to being alter/nonhuman. It's true that by forgetting all that, it's more complicated to accept yourself as you are. Written alterhuman/nonhuman/objectkin/otherlink/therian/otherkin/ect positivity on Tumblr. You'll find so much comfort there!

I hope this helped you, remember, as long as you don't hurt anything or anyone intentionally, you are completely valid! You have the right to be yourself.

Take care of yourself, drink water and have an amazing day/evening/night!

Bye!

Gratitude | Chapter 4 | Kiyotaka Ijichi x F!Reader

“I love what you do with your hands… I love what you do with your mouth. You know how to satisfy me. I just want you to feel your cock inside me tonight. That’s all.” You rest your head back down onto the bed and look into his eyes. “I’m not putting any expectations on tonight other than having you close to me, okay?” He takes a deep breath in, and when he exhales his shoulders rest a little lower, his head a little higher, and it’s as if he’s chosen to breathe out any little worries even he was unaware of. He nods and smiles, “Okay.”

Warnings: fem!bodied reader, light dom/sub undertones, vaginal sex, creampie, cockwarming, ijichi cums fast as usual, subby ijichi, the L word.

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 3

Your plans had been ruined yet again, this time not from just how busy you two were. No, this time it was a snowstorm messing up your carefully planned time with Ijichi. Ijichi had been so excited about your hike together, so excited to share his hobby with you, so excited that you even cared about it.

He was cute when he was like that, explaining details and intricacies of things that seemed to be his specialty. He’d even gone with you to buy new gear, giving recommendations on clothes that would be appropriate for a winter hike in the great outdoors.

Snow, he’d explained, wasn’t a problem. It was great, in fact. He’d even showed you his heating packs and hand warmers, assuring you that he’d make sure to keep the chill off of you. What was a problem was the biggest snowstorm you’d seen in years, so bad that your area was being advised to not even leave your homes, nevermind trek through the woods looking for cute little deer and picturesque views.

As disappointed as you both were, it wasn’t a total waste. You still had your time to yourselves, and you still had it together, you were just trapped in your own home.

It was nice being stuck with him, though. It was as if the weather had pushed the two of you right into playing house. All your time was spent together suddenly and everything had seemed to just fit. Cleaning up together every night, watching Ijichi cook for you, cuddling on the couch, seeing just how many times you could make each other cum in one day.

He’d been so happy, so relaxed. It was what you had wanted for him all along. So, you decide that it’s time to broach the subject he’d made clear he was nervous about in the past. The thing that seemed to be a final hurdle in his mind.

He’s washing dishes, insistent that you sit and relax since you’d been the one to cook tonight. You come up behind him, placing your hands on his hips and nuzzling at his neck. He’s melting into your touch already, quick to get distracted by you. A few well placed kisses along the side of his neck and he’s squeezing the water out of the sponge, grip tightened as you slide your hand down his stomach.

“Thank you for washing the dishes for me.”

“I’m happy to do it.” He sets a plate onto the drainer, shaking his hands off over the sink, not wanting to move away from your touch to dry them properly on the hand towel.

“And thank you for making being trapped at home so nice.”

Your fingers are so tempted to move downward, to pull his cock out and jerk him off right there over the sink as you’d already made a point of doing a few times before, but you want him relatively clear-headed for the next question.

“I want you to do something for me.”

He puts a still slightly wet hand over where yours rests on his stomach and speaks to you softly, “Anything.”

“Can I have your cock inside me?”

You feel his fingers twitch over yours, a soft stutter of an ’ah’ escapes his lips and you can’t help wishing you could see his expression as he thinks, processes, decides. You’re satisfied with pressing your face to his shoulder, knowing that even if you can’t see his thoughts laid bare on his face, his words will do.

He turns around slowly in your arms to face you, holding your face in his hands, pressing one of his soft, but bordering on desperate kisses to your lips. He pulls back and smiles and nods. In case the kiss and the gesture aren’t answer enough, he kisses you again, deepening it with barely parted lips and the soft brush of the tip of his tongue against yours. If even that weren’t indicative enough of his agreement he tells you outright, cock already stiffening against you, “Yes, please.”

He’s accepted so graciously, and you’re the one who has to calm themselves first as you reach your bedroom and undress each other slowly. He’s doing so well, open and present and sure of himself, sure of the two of you.

Once he’s on top of you, having made you cum on his fingers once already - kissing you, holding you, panting and whining against your neck as the muscles in his wiry arms flex while he brings you to climax - you make sure his eyes are on yours as you line him up with your entrance.

“Look at me, Kiyo.”

He does, feeling safe and secure as he hovers over you, surrounding you with his arms on either side of your head and propped up on his elbows. You’re surrounding him too, his hips gripped firmly between your thighs.

You lean up and press kisses across his face between each statement you speak:

“I love what you do with your hands… I love what you do with your mouth. You know how to satisfy me. I just want you to feel your cock inside me tonight. That’s all.”

You rest your head back down onto the bed and look into his eyes.

“I’m not putting any expectations on tonight other than having you close to me, okay?”

He takes a deep breath in, and when he exhales his shoulders rest a little lower, his head a little higher, and it’s as if he’s chosen to breathe out any little worries even he was unaware of. He nods and smiles, “Okay.”

As you slide his tip through your wetness, you take in his expression: excited, happy, smile lopsided and wide, eyes half open and glassy. He looks absolutely enamoured. You only hope your face reflects the same as you press the head of his cock at your entrance, wrapping your legs around him tighter to pull him into you.

He slides in so, so slowly, eyes rolling and moans spilling out just from his sensitive tip being swallowed up by you. As he pushes his hips further the moans get breathier and deeper down into his chest until he’s fully buried in your heat. His stomach tenses and he groans, pressing into you as though desperate to be deeper than was possible for him. You run your hands up and down his back, sending shivers through his whole body.

“You feel so good, Kiyotaka… your pretty cock fits me so well.”

His eyes are locked on yours, and you see that worry bubbling up just behind the lovesick look he was pouring straight into you. His cock is throbbing already, his thighs tensing now too, brows furrowing.

“I’m sorry…” he’s pre-emptively apologising, but you let him know he doesn’t have to.

“For what? I want your cum inside me, whenever you’re ready.”

He groans, and he’s already struggling above you, putting his all into holding out for your word. You take his face in both hands, ready to give it.

“Go on, cum for me.”

It’s immediate, his orgasm ripping through him, shaking his body as he drops his head low and buries his face in your chest. His thrusts are sudden, deep, sloppy and he whines with every wave of hot cum he fills you with.

Through it all you have your arms wrapped around him kissing his forehead, the top of his head, whatever you can reach, chanting out a soft, “Good boy… my good, good boy.”

He rests his head on your chest, shivering as you run your fingers through his hair, pressing into you again though he was already as deep as he could go. He kisses your chest, panting against your breasts, and begins to pull out, but you wrap your legs around him again, heels firm against his ass as he raises his head to look at you curiously.

“Stay inside.” His brows raise, blush coming to his face as the sentiment has his heart racing already, “You just feel so nice. We can keep each other warm.”

He does just that, resting his chin on your chest, looking up at you with happy, calm eyes. You run your fingers over his shoulders, smiling as little shivers continue to run through him when your touch gets too light.

“The weather is supposed to calm down next week.”

He nods, and even though he offers nothing in response you know he’s hanging onto your every word.

“We should go on that hike together then, don’t you think?”

He perks up a bit at that, the prospect of you joining him for his favourite hobby distracting him from the warmth he was buried in. His voice is so smooth and calm when he talks about the things he loves that it gives you butterflies. “That would be great. It’ll be quiet then, you can always hear the birds so well once the worst of the snow has passed.”

His smile widens, and you imagine how cute he’ll look with his binoculars, listing off birds in the surrounding trees. You’d been unsure about the whole thing initially, but now you couldn’t wait.

“As long as you don’t let me fall in some icy creek.”

He lifts his head a little, looking very serious, “Of course not, the trail doesn’t have any tough crossings, I made sure to double check. It’s perfect for your first time.”

You chuckle, and the way it makes you squeeze at his cock gently has him shivering again. “Thank you Ijichi.” This time, your pussy clenching at his softened cock inside of you is intentional. “You always look out for me… you’re so sweet.”

He’s hardening inside of you now, slowly, and you push him a little further.

“Are you happy, Ijichi?”

His smile spreads til his nose is crinkling slightly and he just has to close his eyes, looking like a cat basking in the sun. “Yes, I’m so happy.”

“Me too. You make me so happy, you know.”

“I do?”

There it is, his little way of asking you to keep going, even though he knew by now that you always would.

“Yes, you’re always so good to me.” His eyelids get heavy as his cheeks flush, cock fully hard inside of you now, and it twitches with your next words. “Always my good boy.”

He nuzzles into your chest, and you swear you can see his gears turning, even with his face buried. When he lifts his head, he looks up at you sheepishly, a coy smile on his lips as he is sure he knows the answer to this question. “Can we go again?”

You nod, and he pushes himself up onto his forearms, beginning to give you slow thrusts, barely pulling out before he’s pushing back in and groaning as he bottoms out. After a few moments of this, with your breaths getting louder, soft moans slipping out to join his louder ones, his thrusts get a little harder. He pulls out a little more each time, cock rubbing just so on the sensitive spot inside of you. His eyes are locked onto yours once more, lost in your gaze, and you see him fighting to form his thoughts into words.

“I think I can go longer this time.”

“You don’t have to.” You mean it, otherwise you wouldn’t lean up, beginning to press wet kisses into his neck.

He shudders, rhythm thrown off immediately, “N-not if you do that…”

Those words aren’t enough to stop you, as you suck on the spot that always leaves him whining, right by his Adam’s apple. It has him breathless, thrusts getting quicker in the moments before he regains control and slows them down again, falling back into that pace that had you moaning beneath him.

“Please, you’ll make me cum again.”

“I want your cum though, Kiyotaka.” He whines at that, loud and desperate, and you feel his cock throbbing already. “Want it deep inside me.”

That’s all it takes, and he’s thrusting fast for only a few seconds, whining and panting, before he’s spilling inside you yet again.

“Sorry…”

He’s apologising again, though you don’t know if it’s for cumming fast, or cumming at all since you hadn’t explicitly given him permission. You don’t want him apologising at all, and let him know as much in the uncertain terms Ijichi always needed.

“You don’t need my permission tonight, cum as soon as you feel like it.”

He looks at you, brows up, face asking the questions he was still catching his breath before he could form into words. What about you?

“I love it.” You kiss his forehead as he slides his arms underneath your shoulders, holding you close. “I love your cock, I love your cum, I love all of it.”

He looks at your eyes, then your lips, then back up to your eyes - thinking, and thinking, and thinking again. Then, quicker than the last time, you feel his cock hardening inside of you. Throbbing, almost, as he keeps moving his eyes over your face, redness spreading across his cheeks, followed by wetness gathering just at his thick lashes. You frown, pressing a hand to his face gently, but before you can parse this change of expression, he’s speaking first.

“I love you.” His tears don’t spill, but you see the intensity of his feelings plastered across his face. Suddenly, he’s thrusting, hard and deep as he can given he’s clutching you so tight his hips can barely separate from yours. It’s more of a rocking motion than anything, and you wrap your arms around him just as tightly. He repeats himself, breathy, lost in you, “I love you.”

There’s not even a chance for you to respond, with his lips coming down on yours, his kisses surprisingly chaste considering he was digging deeper than you’d expected of him, thrusting with a fervour spurred on entirely by his emotion.

“I love you, I love you, I love you.” It’s barely intelligible, since he doesn’t bother to stop his tongue from sliding against yours as he repeats it. You rock your hips against his, matching his desperation and earning some friction on your clit.

Your moans are music to his ears, and he can’t help letting ones of his own out as if in direct response to you, loud and broken. He’s close, so very close, but so are you and seeing you like this only makes it harder for him. Urgency flashes in his eyes as he separates your bodies only enough to slide his hand between you, fingers nimble on your clit as another word joins his endless proclamation. “Please, please, I love you, please.”

It’s there, just under the surface, threatening to undo you with your sweet Ijichi begging you to cum with him, but he’s that little bit faster. The warmth of his cum hits you first, and though it takes all of his composure, he keeps his movements steady until you’re cumming just moments after him, clenching his cock hard enough to have his cum forcing its way out around him.

As your orgasm wanes, he’s buried his face in your neck, still thrusting sloppily and swiping at your clit even as he twitches and whines at the overstimulation it was causing him already.

“Ijichi…” you’re back to running your fingers through his hair, warning him to stop before you’re pushed into that jarring sensitivity as well. He does, moving his hand from between you, collapsing into you fully as you hold him tight.

You let the moment settle, letting him catch his breath, before you respond as well with a kiss to the top of his head and a whisper along his skin. “I love you too.”

It might have felt too fast if he’d said it any other time, but like this, it doesn’t. It just fits with you taking it easy, living for only the two of you in your house, close as could be. It’s perfect. It keeps being perfect every time you chat about your upcoming plans with his softened cock still inside of you. Talking about how work would go, everything that would happen after the coming days all while he kept peppering it into the conversation just to have said it again, just to hear it back.

It keeps being perfect as Ijichi reiterates it every time he hardens again inside of you.

Even as he sits up, and from all the sweat it’s like peeling your bodies apart for the first time. His hands are gripping at your stomach, fingers digging in as he gives you his hardest thrusts yet. He sounds like he can’t breathe, like your pussy is hot enough to make him pass out even though he’s been settled inside of you for hours at this point. He’s gotten a second wind though, reaching deep and this time, you’re teetering on the edge even as he is unwavering above you.

The heat in your core is blinding, joining with a weight in your chest as you try your best, even in the throes of your orgasm, to watch him in all of his unbridled glory above you. Ijichi mouths the same sentiment that is burned onto your lips at this point, unable to control his breathing enough to form them into words.

I love you.

FUN FACT ABOUT THE SOTUS BRIDGE

As a Peraya and eternal SOTUS devotee, I had to visit the Rama VIII Bridge (hereafter The SOTUS Bridge) on my first trip to Thailand.

And while I was there, I was walking around and reflecting on all the famous scenes.

It's where they had their first kiss in SOTUS,

it's where Arthit gave Kongphob their soldered gears in SOTUS S,

and it's where Arthit had a poorly timed anxiety spiral in Our Skyy.

I was prepared to have all those feelings! Because we can see the bridge in all those shots! I figured any scene with the bridge would be really obvious.

BUT GUESS WHEN ELSE THEY'RE AT THE BRIDGE???

HERE.

THIS FUCKING SCENE.

Do you know how I know this?

WELL LOOK.

AND SURE ENOUGH, WHEN I WATCHED THAT SCENE AGAIN:

THERE'S THE FUCKING BRIDGE OVER ARTHIT'S SHOULDER.

DOES THAT NOT COMPLETELY DESTROY YOU INSIDE???

THAT SCENE IS ALREADY HEARTBREAKING BUT NOW THINK ABOUT IT WITH THIS CONTEXT:

READY????

YOU'RE FUCKING NOT I BET!!!!!

THIS IS KONGPHOB'S VIEW AS HE'S WALKING BEHIND ARTHIT:

HE'S STARING AT THE BRIDGE WHERE THEY HAD THEIR FIRST KISS WHILE HE'S TRYING TO KEEP HIS DISTANCE FROM ARTHIT

YOU'RE PROBABLY HAVING THIS REALIZATION SOMEWHERE YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND TAKE IT ALL IN

I WAS ALONE!!!! IN THAT SPOT!!!! SURROUNDED BY JOGGERS!!!!!

I'M GIVING YOU THIS GIFT SO IF YOU EVER GO TO THE SOTUS BRIDGE, YOU DON'T START CRYING IN PUBLIC BECAUSE YOUR FICTIONAL CHILDREN HAD A SAD FEW MINUTES ON THE JOGGING PATH WHILE AUNTIES NEARBY HAVE THEIR EVENING OUTDOOR AEROBICS CLASS ACCOMPANIED BY A TRAINER SHOUTING INTO A MEGAPHONE.

When I visited the second time with a friend, we watched their first kiss with the bridge in the background. It was transcendental; I highly recommend it.

I have sworn to myself to make a pilgrimage to The SOTUS Bridge every time I visit Thailand so that I may scream and cry and pay tribute to the series that paved the way for what we have now, amen.

Run down chapel

I've had this build sitting in my to-do list for awhile and since I was messing around with LEDs the other day, I finally got around to building it.

Turns out the LEDs I was experimenting with didn't really work with this build. So I used my bigger kit here:

I got this off AliExpress some time ago. They're ok: overall I find tiny LEDs a hassle to work with. There's still no really good solution I would recommend to anyone.

But here is the photo I quickly took in my studio last night to see the stained glass:

And more shots outdoors today (you can't see the stained glass):

For my gear, I used a Sigma 19mm 2.8 just to change it up. It's a bit too wide-- I cropped about 1/5 off these. Maybe for a bigger model or more impressive background.

But I'll keep the lens on for a month or so anyway.

as a tried n true Professional, do you have any hiking boot recommendations other than the salomons? a lower price point is ideal but I'm more curious than I am in the market and I trust your judgements

Umm Yes Comma. Your mileage may vary in an absolutely huge way. If u would send a second ask with following information; What kind of hiking you want to do, how much outdoors experience you have, how much you plan to beat these up, typical weather conditions, level of ankle support you want, if you have high arches, any existing orthopedic problems, what textile you want (full grain leather? synthetics with waterproofing? vibram sole?), and what kind of shoes you typically prefer in your day to day (do you wear something flat like vans, maybe just sandals, tennis shoes, etc). I definitely have million recommendations but they’re hugely dependent on your personal Use Case so just lmk some of that and I’ll post some links. On the matter of Pricing, hiking boots are one of those things you just kinda gotta spend the money on :,( I got a really good deal on my boots, they were basically half off and I would rebuy them at full price. Always check for sales at local outfitters, REI, the REI resupply program, and direct from manufacturer sales. Used gear with no irreparable defects (soles aren’t worn smooth, lace eyelets and hooks are in good condition, soles and upper aren’t peeling off) then used gear is a great option to get amazing brands at a lower price. So yes tell me your Hiking Business and I’ll post some options !!

#anon #This was literally my job when I worked at da REI and now my job is Outside so I am quite qualified in fact

Luxray Line Care/Enrichment

The Luxray line in the wild are solitary Pokemon that only group with their direct family. The parents both raise offspring until they're strong enough to survive on their own (Usually when they're around Luxio evolution level). They have very staticy fur, so you may want a humidifier and brushes with no metal. This line can get quite moody so it's very important to respect its whims and boundaries. They're also nocturnal and most active at night.

Shinx is a very sleepy baby mon that spends a lot of time napping. In captivity they can get very lazy. They generate electricity through muscle movement so they should usually get more exercise than they want. The entire line has a movement-based chase instinct so using a shiny bauble on a string (your typical feline pokemon toy) will entice it to play and get those muscles moving.

Luxio's claws gather a lot of electricity so to prevent shocking, clipping them with a nail clipper is recommended but use rubber gloves or take them to a groomer I have heard stories about people that try to clip their Luxio/Luxray's claws without protective gear and getting electrocuted please wear rubber gloves. Luxio's star tail also has a concentration of energy and it doesn't like to be touched there. They start getting more active and may actually enjoy getting some outdoor time and exercise now, which is healthy for any Pokemon.

Luxray sleeps a lot. In the wild they snooze in the sun until nightfall where they use their specialized vision to spot prey through barriers. It is similar to thermal vision. They are extremely good at spotting movement and most of their movement and exercise comes from chasing. Luxray are fairly big and like to be in the sun, they will actually soak up a lot of heat in their black fur so much that it may be hot to the touch. Getting your Luxray tired out before bedtime is a good way to have a peaceful sleep, a big walk or play session in the evening is best.

A Luxray line care kit starter pack consists of: Rubber gloves, non-metallic grooming supplies, nail clippers, chase/pull toys, a large bed and a place to sun, carnivore kibble and raw meat treats, and being a night owl is better than being a morning person.
