sick with you haitani ran & rindou.
sum. new side quest unlocked: babysitting your sick boyfriend bc he got too cocky in a brawl. bonten tl ( in my head )
Tumblr media
ran lays his head on your shoulders, whimpering at the feeling. his body's hot, he feels like he's going to explode. unable to keep it in any longer, he drags out your name in raspy whisper.
ran is sick. sick and bedridden due to spraining a muscle. as dangerous as he is now, he's never gotten rid of the peculiar habit of trying to appear fancy. as the causes and effects take its course, one lead to another and ran's back to being nursed by you.
is ran annoying? by default.
does it get worse depending on his mood? absolutely.
combine a regular ran with a sick ran and you get the personality of a five-year-old: fussy, hungry, lazy, sleepy and wants undivided attention. when ran is sick it leads to him being clingy. he wants your touch — whether it's by holding hands or trapping you under his limbs.
"okay, can i pleaseee move? pretty please? cherry on top?" begging for your freedom, you wiggle around but not enough to trigger his headache.
digging his head deeper into the junction of your neck-to-shoulder, he mutters a "no," squeezing your waist tighter.
the position, for him, is heavenly comfort. laid atop you, under the soft duvets. his body's stationed between your legs with one of it resting on his back. his hair's tousled, strands of lavender and black scattered across his face and your chest. if you were to be honest, he looks pretty. domestic times like this drag you away from the violent ways of your boyfriend outside the house. well, you would admit it if it wasn't for his body sinking you down the mattress. seriously, you can't breathe. as much as you adore him you're not dying like this.
"ran, sweetie, please get off me."
"don't want to."
"alright." you accepted defeat.
Tumblr media
nothing could've prepared you for the absolute battle that came with a sick and irritated rindou. ever since the sun snuck behind the clouds he's been coughing for his life like a sick victorian child. he does not need your pestering ringing his ears. he loves you a lot but you need to put that seaweed soup down.
upon seeing your menacing figure at the door, rindou immediately hides his face under a pillow. he knows what you are — what you're here for. you won't win against him nor will you get past his barriers especially if it's the soup in your hands.
"rin, i brought some painkillers, water and an energy drink."
mission failed tremendously. barriers have been broken beyond repair. the intruder has won.
peeking at you, his hand reaches out for yours. "gimme the energy drink, please."
"sit up first," you urged him, sitting at the edge of the bed. "and you're going to have some water first."
groaning, rindou sits up and slouches. he shifts his body's weight on one side to lean onto you. he slides one hand under your shirt, mindlessly caressing your stomach. it doesn't take long before another wave of pain hits him like a tsunami. immediately, he cowers.
"hurts a lot," rindou groans.
"i know, baby," you spoke softly, squeezing his thigh in a controlled rhythm. "you have to take the painkiller for help."
rindou succumbs to the pain. being rendered unable to disagree, he can only nod once as a reply.

man i'm on a roll tonight
DP x DC idea:
Bruce Wayne has somehow managed to become the unofficial guardian of at least two more kids. Maybe three. He's not sure yet. Various members of the Batfamily have made new friends recently and have been having them hang out at Wayne manor for extensive periods of time. Now only if he could actually meet the rascals face-to-face, maybe he could adopt them for real.
or
Danny, Elle, and Jazz have all made friends with different Wayne kids at different times from different places. Damian met Elle at school, Danny met Tim while working at a coffee shop, and Jazz met Cass outside the local theater. All three visit the manor separately, and no one communicates that they've befriended people from the same family. Eventually, however, their hangout sessions accidentally overlap and the Waynes have to deal with the excitement of three Fentons under a single roof.
Let's just say there's a reason the three of them live separately.

Do you have Yumi & Yasuda headcanons? I had the realization that they go to the same school. They're both underrated TokRev girls imo. I'd like to know how you think they'd interact with one another (and with the other TokRev girls too, i.e. Hina, Emma, Yuzuha, & Senju)
Well it's never mentioned they go to the same school but I agree with you. They wear a similar uniform and we know Yasuda attends the same school as Pah and Peh, and I think it's very likely that Yumi would want to attend their school too. But anyway these are the headcanons i have for them!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yumi
Yumi ships Peh and Yasuda and tried pretty hard to get the two of them together (inviting them on double dates with her and Pah etc).
She seems very kind, however under all that kindness she also has an incredibly chaotic side. Like that's the reason she wasn't phased by anything at her wedding because she's more chaotic then anything the others could've done.
She takes notes for Pah and Peh when they skip class
She loves sweets, has a total sweet tooth!
Yumi's also a very touch heavy person when speaking to people, she'll touch people's arms and hands a lot while talking (this nearly made Hakkai faint when they first met).
She slowly started to change from bully to friend because of influence from Pah and Peh.
Pah felt so guilty after stabbing Osanai that he wrote Yumi a letter telling her to never talk to him again and to just forget about him. Yumi of course refused to stick to that and said she still wanted to be with him (after telling him off for saying such a thing to her and assuming it's best for her just to forget about him).
Actually while Pah was locked up Yumi spent a lot more time with Peh. They kept each other company while Pah was gone. She also spent more time trying to get Yasuda and Peh closer together.
Yumi also gets along really well with Pochi
Her parent's weren't around a lot, they were very busy with work. Which is why her earlier behavior went unchecked and why she suddenly had to move (her parent's got a promotion).
She gets along with all the other girls but her favourite is Senju (besides Yasuda) because they match each other's energies often.
Has no problems with lying to avoid trouble (especially if it's for her friends).
Met Yasuda after wanting to hang out with Pah and Peh and they went to get Mitsuya. She was impressed with how Yasuda stood up to them when interrupting her club.
Yasuda 
She wasn't sure what to make of Yumi at first. When she first noticed her, Yasuda was apologetic for shouting then got a bit nervous around her (she assumed Yumi was also a delinquent). But after Yumi dropped by more often, Yasuda realised she was actually nice and they became friends.  
She's very good at baking, while in school she would make Mitsuya and Yumi treats often (Pah and Peh usually tried to steal some from her).
Yasuda was also close to Mana and Luna, she was often the one babysitting them when their mother was working and Mitsuya was attending toman meetings and fights.
Her and Peh confessed to each other mid bickering 
When she first met Hakkai it was the awkwardest meeting ever. Yasuda was intimidated by how big and scary he looked and Hakkai was intimidated because she's a girl. They both remained silent, refusing to look at each other until Mitsuya intervened.
She has a history with delinquent's and used to get bullied by a group of them when she was younger.
At least once she heard there was a delinquent in the school who wanted to see Mitsuya and went to go yell at them (assuming it was Peh or one of his friends again). Instead she started yelling at some random guy who was actually there to beat Mitsuya up and he was so baffled he just left.  
She hand sews all of Peh and her friend's birthday presents.
Actually gets along with Draken though, despite his appearance she found him to be a generally nice guy. (She teams up with him and Hakkai to throw Mitsuya's birthday parties). 
She helped Yumi organise her wedding
Yasuda's favourite girl (besides Yumi) is Emma. Because she admires how Emma easily stands up to the delinquents and Emma also knows a bit about sewing.

¡暴走族\旧車會!x!ヤンキ!x! 助番¡
What is the New Generation of Delinquents?
~*,`¢
Tokyo Revengers plot circles around Bōsōzoku subculture, which is why I love it as deeply as I do.
!! Update: Discussion Piece(6.14.23): Tokyo Manji Honorary Division
Bōsōzoku culture derives/d from lower class Japanese youth who’ve banded together to express dissatisfaction with Japanese Society.
America is very familiar with countercultural movements lmao. Punk/Grunge/Metal/etc…
Youth are aimless, reckless, and rebellious.
If you’ve ever enjoyed the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton , you know this is a prime example of brotherhood bonds between lower class hoodlums. In Oklahoma, of all places.
Otherwise known as; Yankii, Sukeban, Kyushakai.
Who is a Yankii?
The Rise and Fall of Bōsōzoku
When Bōsōzoku Youth evolve past crime, Kyushakai
#GirlGang: Sukēban<33
This article is really awesome in explaining cultural differences, feel free to read up on some if you’re interested.
Today I plan to point out a few:
Tumblr media
Yankii Mothers / YanMaMa; Ryoko Baji
early ’90s, yankii men occasionally entered construction and teen women had children and dropped out of high school — both stereotypes that persist today. *The young yankii mothers — yan mama — were often ostracized by other mother groups and struggled to assimilate to their new identities as parents.
Within a year of publication, Yan Mama Comic had reached of circulation of 120,000, helping to bond socially isolated communities of young mothers.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT FOLKS; Ryoko and Baji’sDad were definitely two yankii teens who fell in love and had a kid too young.
Headcanon! That Keisuke’s parents were set on making a badass life together, and be awesome young parents with the coolest and toughest new punk kid to add to the books!
…But, they were still two idiots. Baji’s father probably ran head first, sacrificing himself in one way or another, I’m sure.
Tumblr media
This leads you to wonder ~..
How did everyone else come to this lifestyle?
What is Their Social Injustice?
(All headcanons but kinda factual,so…)
Mikey: all younger siblings admire their older brothers! Shinichiro was the leader of a biker gang, of course Mikey would want to follow in his footsteps! So Mikey’s reason soon turns to::
Shinichiro: By being a overall stand up guy, true to his word and genuine to a fault, he had a strength not a lot of people had. He welcomed friendships with BlackSheep, and made a home for them however he could. Strong ally’s stood by him and as long as he’s around, they would support his ideals in shaping a better future.
Draken: was literally born into it. Escorts have been judged and poorly treated left and right, taking care of yourself—with a child to boot; was hell for a women. Unwanted kids of “filth” aren’t usually welcomed in social circles. The Children bare the injustice of inconvenience. By living with escorts and witnessing first hand the “low-class work” so many have had to endure to make a decent way of life, Draken learned young that life was unfair. So to live, you have to make a way of life for yourself, unapologeticly.
Mitsuya: Poor kids are looked down on a lot. Made fun of for things they can’t control. Kids with jobs are looked down on for being in the working class so soon. With a mother who was never home, and taking care of two younger sisters, he needed strength to deal with how unfair his life was. Meeting Draken, and realizing that the struggle to survive and keep trying to have a family even when it’s hard, he started respecting his mother a lot more. He found a sense of belonging Toman…
Baji: also literally born into it. Grew up with a single mother who was looked down on for being young/dropping out of school. Supporting her as the only Man of the house, Keisuke takes after his mother’s confidence. He also is seen having an alternative sense of fashion, making me believe he is definitely a metal head.
Kazutora: dealt with a lot growing up. He was bullied for being a sheepish pushover. He was hit by his father for any level of individuality /expression of defiance. He was manipulated into always having to pick one right side, and that there was always one wrong side. He tries showing loyalty by giving everything he has to friendships that hurt him, without realizing friends shouldn’t hurt him. No matter who he was, there was never anyone he could just be a person with. Be a part of the perfect high status family you were born into, or face the punishments. He finds comfort when he finds a family he can trust and be a person who makes mistakes. Friends are meant to be treasured. And after meeting Baji, and joining Toman, he found somewhere he could belong.
Pah: I still need to look more into him I can’t lie.
Takemichi: Bozosoku culture is notorious for being social justice fighters, as the entire notion of a subculture is to defy societal injustice anyway. And that’s just who Takemitchi is; a friend to everyone.
Hinata: the prime example of Dating into the lifestyle. It’s easy to admire and possibly fall in love with people as passionate as rebellious, adrenaline junky teens. She’s empathetic to how others see Takemichi, knowing above all else, he loves her more than anything!
Emma: she never really got into being a part of the gang, but she was by association. All of her brothers. She’s always been the crown jewel of TokyoManji! But not only that; Emma isn’t fully Japanese. True, a lot of the cast is multinationality. But she has Mikey on her side. She is his family, and that makes her strong. Foreigners are often ostracized, easy to pick out due to her natural Blonde hair. (*blonde hair is also often an act of rebellion, she showing that she refuses to dye it black to fit in can also say a little about other issues-)
LETS NOT FORGET!!! TOMAN IS BUILD ON THE BACK OF “The Little guy who sticks up for the Weak”.
The series is based on what kind of world Manjiro Sano chooses to build. Every timeline is unintentionally set by his hand, because he is that powerful of a person. Because people follow him. Manjiro is the type of person who changes fates.
By losing Shinichiro; Manjiro loses Empathy.
Shinichiro was a charismatic and empathetic person, often putting differences aside to better the other person. He was a heavily respected person in the delinquent world of Japan as the founder of Black Dragon. He led Black Dragon with a humble heart and was treated with notable respect, while also being a big brother to all three of his siblings. Even though he was a weak fighter, he lead the Black Dragon with his immense charisma. Even years after his death, later generations of members still hold him in high regard.
A person like Shinichiro is the kind of man people follow. The Weak Guy sticking up for his friends; The One who Always Won..
In a subculture seeking structure, he is the perfect person to leading a generation of a kinder and more empathetic people.
So let’s wrap up the question!;
What is the New Generation of Delinquents?

Yoo could u do this? If u want to ofc🫡 kazutora x fem reader who's apart of walhalla (kind of like from the last thing u wrote) but she's more quiet and keeps to herself. But when she IS talking w the others she has like the older sister type attitude. Passive, speaks with sarcasm and can grill someone with a single sentence.
So the scenario I have in mind was they first met in like a 'kiyoko and Tanaka' type way from haikyuu? If u don't know it's on yt ^^. Sorry if the request is long😭 if u don't want to do this then it's fine!! And sorry since this is like, the second thing u wrote ab the reader being in Walhalla,
a/n: don't worry about it, I wouldn't consider it to be the same thing since I've made plenty of differences between the two. I went with what you requested but sorry if some things aren't how you pictured/ wanted half way through ♡
Kazutora hanemiya |°- first meet + hard to get
Tumblr media
kazutora having the number 3 as a title means some sort of recognition and responsibility, but half the time he's just there yk. chilling by a wall and waiting for time to gradually get a move on, got things to do but can't exactly do them now, there's always some sort of waiting game but a game that always makes everyone yawn.
bored and tired out of his mind with only a few thoughts to keep his mind busy to avoid getting agitated. all moments before feeling a small gush of air from his left side like someone has rushed to get here. it was hard to ignore what you see at the corner of your eye so just out of instinct he turned his head slightly to eye in that very direction to see who had just came in.
his whole thought process staged, his mind instantly paused, eyes wide open, and his breath on hold. the gush of air that he felt before now holds some emotions, immediately thinking that the air is probably the closest he'll ever come contact with you physically.
'shes beautiful...'
the question of 'what is a girl doing in walhalla?' didn't even come across him, instead it was how beautiful you are. he was captivated and wanted to say something, anything to you but when he opened his mouth to speak it was then that you looked over at him feeling his eyes on you which caused his sole to evaporate leaving him standing like a deer at headlights.
"I- uh..." kazutora hanemiya, all shy and nervous. it certainly was a sight to see considering that a few guys part of the gang were hiding their smiles and muffling their laughter seeing him in this state. if kazutora saw them laughing they'd definitely lose a few front teeth, that way they'll never end up smiling.
he was mainly nervous because no one has ever made his heart beat faster than an adrenaline rush, so this whole feeling was new and unusual.
though just after you moved your eyes away from him he swallowed down his salvia and finally spoke up making your attention back onto him "you're pretty" he thought a lot but at the same time he didn't.
a faint smile curled up on your lips after hearing his words "thank you" any compliment is nice to have but was this him making moves on you? a random guy to stare at you and call you pretty is honestly quite flattering but there's no need to be seen easy especially being around with so many other guys, don't need them thinking they can do the same.
over time after that small encounter, kazutora managed to learn a few things about you from other people, not a whole lot but enough for him to understand why you're here. your cousin is somewhere within walhalla and it wasn't hard to spot him due to kazu admiring you from afar and seeing who you talk to. not in a stalker way but just out of curiosity.
however before, you'd repeatedly and casually hang around the hideout with your cousin, most of the time outside of the building but after sometime someone ended up welcoming you in, Hanma actually, your interaction with him wasn't exactly sturdy in the beginning but because of that it made him want you to join even more. when your around you seem get people's attention in a sense of making them feel calm, precisely like an older sister. one that most probably wished to have but dont.
your quite closed off despite having a fair bit of attention, but that doesn't mean you take advantage of that nor do you actually stay quiet. if someone were to come up to you and strike a conversation you'll happily respond. passive with almost anyone which makes you to be fairly approachable and comfortable to be around with. making sarcastic comments here and there without thinking which then results in some people to return the attitude, but in the end it creates something to find joy in. it's like you can make friends instantly here without trying.
but despite that you still manage to hold up a small barrier. if anyone even remotely annoys you or tries to get a bad reaction out of you they'll get the reaction, but it'll be them that will shuffle over to hide by a corner and have a bleeding wound from the words you're able to inflict on them, your a natural at it and you don't even need to raise your voice to get your point across. some guy was being sexist towards you and that was the last time he ever dared to look at you. which is exactly what everyone around likes about you. kazutora especially.
when you're quiet kazu admires, when you speak he listens. he loves your mental strength and it's certainly something that everyone needs to be taught.
but an older sister always hides her true intentions, just gotta look out for a pattern and soon enough you'll be able to hold her heart like no one else can just because you were able to understand her. sometimes being the oldest always means to end up in some sort of battle, majority of the time it's emotional but keeping too much inside can cause the jar to explode making the shards to hit those who you don't mean to hurt.
sure she's not actually a sister of anyone in Walhalla, but in order for her to feel welcomed they ended up acting like she was one. some even ended up calling her 'big sis'. and so she adopted that sweet role. though only to those who are constantly at the hideout and participate in conversation, essentially only to those that like her.
the first few days after noticing your presence in walhalla he always went stiff in the shoulders, afraid to do something stupid that will make you hide away from him. even when getting caught staring at you he always tried to play it off by looking behind you or simply look away and pretend nothing happened.
but after another few set of days, he grew comfortable. maybe a little too comfortable because now whenever you catch him staring he just holds a smile and keeps looking at you with no shame until he chooses to look away and pretend to carry on with whatever he was doing before, even though he wasn't doing anything before.
he'd join some of your conversations and even tried to get a little close to your cousin, though the two dont exactly kick off very well so he gave that up almost instantly, he didn't want to argue with him and lose his chance with you. normally he wouldn't do that for anyone so It was even a bit of a shocker for kazu himself when half way through he realised 'wait tf am I doing?' and it certainly didn't go under looked by certain other members.
do you know about his interest in you? probably, maybe... definitely. if others can see it then you do too, you're not dumb like that plus others pointed it out for you under hushed voices. just one chance wouldn't hurt, but only if he actually comes forwards to it first. you attract, not chace.
"surprised that you managed to get so many warm up to you so quickly"
you jumped a little upon hearing a voice right over your shoulder but without turning around you instantly recognised who that voice belongs to. kazutora.
"that's a good thing right?" now meeting his eyes but also taking a step backwards, he sure knows how to invade personal space.
"of course it is, though you've made my guys sappy, I'm afraid they'll go weak" he wasn't fully serious... maybe just a little but he held a teasing tone and his whole self seemed completely different compared to when you both first interacted. from being stunned and staggering to now going with the flow and flourishing. he wasn't always gonna stay shy.
"oh is that so? well I'm sure you'll be able to carry everyone out since I presume you haven't" the same little smile from when they met began to curl her lips. there's no way that anyone can say that kazu hasn't become somewhat soft when it comes down to y/n, and here he is trying be different compared to other guys.
"didn't know you had that much confidence in me" matching your energy. he's aware of what you're hinting at but currently talking with you, one on one, is making him not give a damn. you've talked before but they were always around others. all he wants in this moment is you and if it means to be called sappy then sure.
"nah not really, just expectations" ouch
it was all build up so that kazutora can get comfortable and ask the one question that he had stored in his mind.
"so I was thinking, what if we were to go out? just us two"
"what if?" she repeated, purposely focusing on those two words to catch and test him out, make him say it properly.
"well you know what I mean"
"I'm afraid I don't"
she's getting to him, you could tell from the way he looked off to the side and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand, can't tell if he's annoyed or if the nervousness is finally catching up to him, confidence always has a limit especially when you're up against someone with a smart mouth. "do you want to hang out?... just us two" there it is.
"hmm, depends what we'd do"
"we can do anything that you like"
it sure wasn't gonna be easy for him, heck no. have a little play around and if he really did want to take you out then he was gonna have to try harder than that and earn it. you have standards and don't go for the first person.
the first time you rejected his offer he thought you were kidding and trying to joke around but when you repeated your answer only then did he walk away from you. but after a few days of exchanging eye contact with each other he seemed to finally be caught on with what you were doing. playing hard to get, a bit infuriating but considering the way how kazu had asked and how most seem be fond of you there would be no reason not to play like that.
the second time he casually put an arm over your shoulders and acted it out like you two were good friends, and this time when he asked he did it right the first time, but even then you still declined.
you're making it hard for him, got him stressing, and turning. someone give this boy some help because currently it seems unhealthy for him to feel like this. just something about you got him latched on and it's only self respect thats keeping him away from begging.
though it doesn't mean that some progress hasn't been made between you two throughout the time. cause then he wouldn't have asked the third time.
third time's the charm right? it's what everyone says and half the time it's not all that true, but for some it is. so when kazutora finally asked you out again and heard your accepting words it was like a lock finally opening after finding the right key. satisfaction and pride.

The difference between the tragedy of Edwin's and Charles' lives and deaths and what makes Charles' much more compelling to me is that Edwin never had anyone he could trust: he grew up with distant parents who i imagine he saw rarely and could not confide in, then he went to school and was immediately recognized as other in a way he had not fully realized of himself yet and was killed for it, and then comes hell and well who can u trust in hell? Certainly not the things that chase you until your legs ache, and even if your compatriots in the whole ordeal are as innocent as you, trapped in the same technicality, what is the good of trusting them, when they are just as helpless as you?
But Charles? Everyone Charles was supposed to trust betrayed him. His parents were close to him, atleast somewhat, atleast his father was around enough to get sick of hearing owner of a lonely heart, and his mother was around enough to watch his father beat him and be silently horrified and ultimately not do anything about it, maybe she stepped in once and we just never saw it, but I wouldn't bet on it, Charles' mom is 'quiet' that's her defining feature to Charles not protective or gentle just 'quiet', then Charles gets to school and he is popular he has friends! He has people who care for him (or should maybe, as long as he's good at sports like he's needed to be) and then he stands up for one person, because he has always wanted to be good and maybe he trusts himself to do it just this once and his friends kill him and his own actions signed the death warrant and he cannot even trust himself to do the right thing properly (it never got better and then you died)
And maybe, maybe Edwin does it too, with less intention to hurt, and with less knowledge but Charles and Edwin trust eachother maybe more than anything (maybe Charles would sooner slip away from earth's gravity than stop putting his trust in Edwin who he thinks is good and smart and brills and aces) and maybe Edwin still looks at Charles trying to protect him after Charles has had maybe the worst week of his existence and says "that was a bit...... extreme" and Edwin still promises Charles can tell him anything while hiding himself in a way that makes Charles feel untrustworthy
So yeah I'll never stop thinking about the tragedy of Charles Rowland actually 👍 think about him with me
#Charles Rowland#Edwin payne#dead boy detectives#Wrotong this down made me want to delve even further into characters and their relationships w/ trust btw#Crystals is also really interesting to me because she is looking for people she trusts and she keeps coming up empty slowly coming to the#relaization that she cant even trust herself and she'll never b the same girl but theres old roads that need to be repaved#or atleast properly gated off and she nearly loses the trust she has built up over the course of the show because it is not enough to trust#them with her and she cant trust herself with them because she has finally friends she doesnt want to hurt for amusement and she is sick w/#the idea it wont last#Niko lost two of the biggest ppl she could trust in one fell sweep as one died and the other just wanted her to not be sad anymore and it#broke her in a way and shes having to build new bridges to find herself again#The Cat King trusts people enough to let them in his bed and to charm them but not enough for them to see anything deeper to see who he#really is because he is A Cat King (TM ;) ) and he should be Better than That and hes just as petty and mortal as anyone else#Monty well maybe this is a hot take but monty trusts himself and not much else he is a charmer and confident in his feelings for Edwin he i#sure of his ability to deceive and Charm the ghost boys and i think he is sure when he brings Charles his bag#Maybe u could say Monty trusts Esther but i dont thinks thats true when he realizes the effects Esthers revenge will have he tries 2 get th#ghost buys tf outand even earlier he crows when Esther is trying to “threaten some kids#monty“ and then obvi already mentioned getting charles his bag he doesnt so much trust esther as he is chained to her which kinda makes me#wonder how old is monty? Like when made into a human he is made vaguely teenager aged but like he is the familiar of a very old witch is he#the last in a long series of familiars or is he near as old as Esther herself maybe he was picked up some years ago but long after Esther#was already a well established witch he could literally be any age wtf
