absolutely losing it at the polar opposite perspective we get on darth vader during rebels. kanan and ezra encounter him and there's a dramatic lead up to the cameo and they're like "who the FUCK is that???". they fight him and lose terribly. at least until they drop several tons of heavy machinery on him. but then he survives! and then they're like "if that won't kill him what can?!" "not us. let's go!". there's no drama, no extremely emotional dialogue, no agony over the man he used to be and the monster he became. just "hey what is that? a SITH LORD? that sounds like 1-800-NOT OUR PROBLEM!!!" and then they go back to doing whatever they normally do

If you live in Los Angeles (around 33°52'N, roughly the latitude of Hermosa Beach) the black hole in V404 Cygni passes over you each day. On Christmas Day it will be directly overhead around 2pm.
Under the Stars [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Megan and Cueball are sitting in a field under a clear blue sky and bright Sun.] Megan: I love sitting out under the stars.
Cueball: ...It's daytime. Megan: Yeah, but the stars are all still up there.
Megan: Constellations wheel overhead; they're just painted over with blue. Megan: Every sky is full of stars.
Cueball: That's somehow terrifying. Megan: It's okay—just look at that sunny sky and tell yourself space isn't real. Megan: "Daytime" is us closing our eyes and pretending it makes infinity go away.

Reversal (Albert Wesker x gn!Reader)
Tumblr media
18+ | 1192 words | handjob, soft wesker, begging (as much as wesker would), could be any era of wesker | Fic Directory
he deserves to be spoiled once in a while. wouldn't you agree?
Tumblr media
He’s never quite sure how the two of you end up in these situations, but particularly himself.  Wesker, being the extremely generous lover that he is, was far from used to being on the receiving end of things.  But you have your ways.  He could hardly call it trickery since you’d given him ample opportunity to refuse, but he just couldn’t.
What turned into simply sitting by your side atop the bed turned to a loss of control so blissful that his jaw trembles with every breath he takes in vain attempts to steady himself.  You’d coaxed him so sweetly, pretending that you were shuffling behind him to simply rub his back.  And you did for a time.  Stripped away the shoulder holster and kneaded taut, stressed muscles for so long he’d almost been convinced his body turned to jell-o.  When your soothing touches slipped around to unbutton his shirt, he knew he was in for it.  The very second you tugged on his belt, he knew he was all too happy to let it happen.
He huffs an open mouthed breath, chest rising and falling, heartbeat like a drum in his own ears while he cranes his neck further to the side for your wandering lips.  The buckle of his belt clinks with every mindless shift of his legs.  You feel so nice… your hands are so warm and soft as you stroke him slow and steady.  
He grips your leg with his left hand and the right reaches back to thread in your hair, anchoring himself to you like a docked ship in preparation for a storm.  Wesker can’t help but arch back into you, body seeking more and more contact as he fights each gasp and whine that threatens to expose how easily you’ve wrapped him around your finger.
“Talk to me, sweetheart.” You coo in his ear, breath tickling the shell of it and sending a shiver right down his spine.  There’s an air of humor in your words like always.  Amusement that you’d turned the tables and taken apart the man who usually unmakes you.  Wesker’s eyes flutter open, half lidded and dazed.  He dares to look between his splayed legs and your hand moves just in time to feel his balls tighten at the sight.  You hum a small laugh when he does little more than swallow thickly and exhale.  “Even if you won’t use your words, your body still tells me all kinds of things.”  Your thumb circles his weeping tip with an agonizing slowness and your lips fall to the junction of his shoulder.
He nearly jumps out of his skin, choking off a sharp keen into panting breaths when a wandering hand pinches his nipple, rolling the hardened bud carefully.  It’s then that he truly loses himself, completely leaning his weight back onto you and hissing through clenched teeth.  “Y-You…”  He tries, but his train of thought derails entirely when your fist twists down to the base, squeezing gently.  Wesker’s legs shift haphazardly, one bending just enough for leverage to thrust into your grip.
Your touches halt suddenly but you don’t release him.  “Yes, honey?”
Fuck, he thinks to himself. This again. 
Not too long ago you’d learned that he wasn’t quite so unbreakable.  That iron will and stoic demeanor ran incredibly deep, but for you?  Oh, you have the key to his heart, which means you’re privy to sights and sounds that leave him red in the face and practically squirming.  
You planned this, didn’t you?  
Now you were going to get exactly what you wanted…
“Come on, Al.  Tell me.”  Each word drips with love the likes of which he could drown in.  It drives him insane in ways he could never dream.  You hold release over his head like bait but give freely that which makes you so special.  “Tell me so I can take care of you.”
Wesker’s jaw quivers, teeth practically chattering.  “You… I want you to…”  He’s whispered filth in your ear so many times just to guarantee your pleasure, but to reverse the roles?  To tell you how badly he wants you to… t-to…  “Please,” he gasps, voice a tad higher than he’d prefer, “anything, I– ah!” Wesker gasps sharply, head falling back against your shoulder as you trail the tip of your index finger along the length of his cock. 
“Anything?”
“M-More!” He mewls.  It’s all so undignified and the embarrassment swirls deep in his gut, but it’s washed away by a fingerpad teasing a bead of precum.  Heavy breaths turn almost to snarls.  “God, just– please!”
You always did show him mercy when he used the magic word.  The very second your strokes begin again, his eyes roll back and he succumbs.  
“That’s it, Al,” you murmur between kisses and suckles to his exposed neck.  He writhes and thrusts and pushes against you like his life depends on it, seeking more sensations, more pressure, more of you while he comes undone.  “Shhh, just feel it…”
He’s unsure of just how loud his pathetic litany of whining had been, but he’d much rather not know at all.  Fuck, if he felt like jell-o before… he’s practically a ragdoll now, limbs like lead demanding that he simply lie still and bask in a haze so powerful he can’t even open his eyes.  He tries to give you a hm of acknowledgement, but it comes out as a breathy whine that leaves him wishing he had the energy to curse himself for such a weak display of self control.
“You did so well.”  Your praise erupts his flesh with goosebumps.  “You deserved this.  You deserve to feel so good.”
Wesker tilts his head just enough to nuzzle your cheek, hissing a hot breath against it when he feels your fingertips dance through the mess he’d made on his abdomen.  His eyelids are so heavy…
“Get some rest, sweetheart.” 
He wants to. God knows there’s nothing else his body screams for more in the moment, but he also wants so badly to return the favor.  You wiggle out from behind him carefully, slipping his shirt free and slowly helping him descend into the plushness of pillows and blankets before stripping away the remainder of his clothes.  You disappear for but a moment, promising him you'll return before you do, and you bring a warm, wet cloth to wipe away the mess his bliss had caused.
“There we go,” you say.  There’s not a single word necessary, but he knows you do it to reassure him that he’s clean.  A soft thud signals that you’d tossed the cloth elsewhere and then you’re climbing in right beside him, tugging soft covers up onto the both of you and snuggling close to him.  “You should sleep,” you tell him.  “The world will still be here when you wake up, okay?”
“In some state of chaos, I’m sure…” Wesker mumbles, pulling you closer with a heavy arm.  Lips press to his temple, then his cheek, then his lips which curl into a lazy grin.  Within seconds, he’s out like a light.
He always sleeps so well after you take care of him.

Okay, so i would want to ask ghostface, wesker and 2 other killers reacting to a survivor that is blind but learned on how to detect objects and ppl using earth vibrations like toph
I have never watched Avatar so I don't know much about Toph. 😅
Killers react to survivor who's blind
Tumblr media
Ghostface
He saw you from a distance and was curious
New survivor, huh?
He licks his lips and stalks closer not even making a sound
He scans every single detail of you and he notices that your eyes don't have color
Did the Entity really bring a blind person here
He sighs and he stands up
Your head snaps in his direction "Who's there?" You say
He pauses, how did you know he was there? He only took one step
You repeat yourself but not getting an answer you get in a fighting stance
He chuckles in disbelief "Woah calm down Sweetheart" he says and inches closer
He raises his knife and starts swinging at you but you avoid his attacks with an angered look on your face
You finally catch his hand and fling him overyout shoulder and take off
He lays on the floor in disbelief and gasping
Danny's mouth is wide open and he's speechless then it spreads into a grin
Oh how fun it will be to break you! <3
Wesker
He immediately notices you in the lobby of RPD
You walk normally but he senses something is off
So he walks towards you with Uroboros ready
You turn around and that's when he see's your blind
Why would the Entity choose a blind person?
He shakes his head and let's out a long loud sigh
He springs at you with Uroboros ready to grab your throat
But you move over and avoid him
He stumbles and turns around his a confused but amused look
His eyes glow and a cat like grin appears and his eye twitches
How did you do that? Your blind..
He tries to attack you again but you dodge and go to a loop and throw down a pallet right on his skull
He lets out a pained noise and you run off
He rubs his head and he looks at your fading form
How curious...
He can't wait to learn more about you

To Make Your Heart Sing (Albert Wesker x ftm!Reader)
Tumblr media
3556 words, fluff, hurt/comfort, s.t.a.r.s. wesker, ftm!reader, top surgery mention, coming out, main character injury, soft wesker, established relationship | Fic Directory
some truths are simply hard to tell. still, they must be told
Tumblr media
You tried your best to keep things under wraps.  
RCPD’s human resources department knew of your ‘condition,’ but the file that landed on Captain Wesker’s desk a year and a half ago mentioned nothing of it.  You were just, well, you.  And that’s all you needed to be.  You were hired and the rest was history.
Or it was supposed to be.  Instead, you found yourself getting into the best of trouble.  Make no mistake, Captain Wesker intimidated you to no end.  Suppose that’s why the first time you turned a corner and the both of you knocked into each other left you a stuttering mess while you tried desperately to help him pick up the stack of paper he’d been holding.  The other officers who had been in the adjacent break room had the luxury of watching with bated breath to see him chew you a new one for such a careless mistake.
But he didn’t. 
The next was when you’d overcooked your food in the microwave, leading to a loud, wet pop and spaghetti sauce all over the insides of the machine. To your embarrassment, your captain was beside the coffee pot, brow arched just above the rim of his sunglasses as you sputtered and chuckled your apologies for both the mess and the noise.
You could’ve sworn he smiled.
Then there was that day you’d been running late.  You called the precinct from your clunky Nokia, begging for forgiveness from your captain.  As a peace offering, you offered to bring him coffee from a local shop, stating that it was “so much better than the liquid tar in the break room.”  His silence had scared you half to death, but his acceptance carried the strangest hint of amusement.  Black with two sugars, he’d told you.  When you’d finally arrived and delivered it, he took it directly from you, fingers brushing yours and making your cheeks light up.
That was the first time you’d ever seen more than a miniscule smirk on his face.  
Not to mention that time you’d pulled overtime and, upon entering to deliver yet another report, you’d found Wesker with his head resting atop his folded arms on the desk.  To this very day, you still had no idea what came over you to retrieve your S.T.A.R.S. jacket from your desk and drape it over his back.  You’d returned the next day to find it neatly folded atop your desk with a sticky note that simply said ‘Thank you.’
When the day came that he cornered you in the break room, black coffee with two sugars in hand from another one of your late mornings, you felt like a deer caught in headlights.
“I want to take you on a date.” 
Your eyes practically fell out of your head and your cheeks went up in flames.  You were stunned.  Captain Wesker was into men?  Not only that, but he was into you? You didn’t know what to say, what to do– anything.  You must have sat there blinking with your mouth agape for minutes before he’d finally just hummed, snagged a napkin and wrote his number down for you.
“If you find it agreeable, call this number later.  We can… work out the details then.”  
Looking back on it, he seemed just as nervous in that moment as you felt.  Not that you could blame him.  You figured he must have observed you for a long time to gauge if you’d be receptive to advances from another man, but the risk was still high– rejection, risk of harassment accusations… all sorts of bad outcomes must have been weighing on his mind.  But, that night, you called him.  Awkward as it had been, you both settled on a restaurant an hour outside of the city to reduce the chances of you two being seen by the others from the station, and the rest?  Well, it had progressed slow and steady, but your secret relationship with Captain Wesker, now simply Albert to you when appropriate, had entered its third month.
Which is why you’d grown nervous.
You didn’t know how to tell him.  At some point, things would progress beyond warm kisses and tender touches.  At some point your… anatomy was going to matter.  You wish you would’ve told him before all of this began and saved yourself the potential heartache of losing what had been the sweetest, gentlest relationship you’d ever had.  You worried yourself sick about it, always careful never to wear tank tops or shirts bright or thin enough that the tone of your chest scars could show through.  Your testosterone shots were easy enough to hide, thankfully.
Albert had been nothing less than a pure gentleman throughout it all, never once pushing your boundaries or showing impatience when you’d shy away from things.  Even the night you’d both fallen asleep on your bed consisted of little more than a hand resting atop the small of your back and your face nuzzled against the comforting rise and fall of his chest.
But, try as you might to hide it, Wesker had picked up on your anxieties.
“Have I made you uncomfortable?”  
Your heart fell through the floor the night he’d asked that.  You swore up and down over and over again that it was nothing he’d done and that you were just dealing with something that you didn’t know how to put into words.  He accepted your answer without question, pressed a kiss to your knuckles, and continued reading the file he'd brought home from work.
Your mind always turned to thoughts of how you were going to tell him, distracting you at the worst times.  Which, of course, put you in a situation where you had no choice in how the truth would come out.
The bulletproof vest had saved your life– for the most part, that is.  Gunmen in a hostage situation had released a young girl, sending her out to run toward the blockade.  She was to be a message, clearly, because they fired at her as soon as she got close.
You bolted out to cover her, mind devoid of sense the very moment you saw one of the men emerge from the building.
You took two to the chest with the first simply lodging into the center of your vest.  The other managed to pierce, embedding in your right pectoral.  You’d laid between squad cars and the steps to the bank for god knows how long, shaking fingers applying as much pressure to your wound as you could muster while the sun beat down on you without mercy.  The next thing you knew, you were being thrown into an ambulance and given the good stuff, and you woke up after who knows how long in a hospital bed.
Your first visitors were Rebecca and Jill.  You’d grown closer with them than most of the others– save for Wesker, of course.
“How are you feeling?”
You simply answer Jill with a lopsided smile and a hum, tipping your head back against the pillow.  “Mm, yup.”
“I don’t think the pain meds have worn off yet,” Rebecca giggles from across the room where she inspects the whiteboard covered with hastily scribbled patient information.
“Lucky him.  Should let Captain Wesker know he’s at least feeling good when we go back.  He’s…”  Jill turns to you with a sweet smile, clearly pondering her words.  “Distraught is a… is a word for how he is right now..”
That, of course, breaks your heart.  He was there when it happened.  Albert saw you go down.  Silly you, covering the girl they’d released…
Your eyelids grow heavier as time goes by, eventually slipping shut while you bask in their company.  When they open again, you’ve got two nurses at your bedside.  Even in your dazed state, you can put two and two together.  Just a change of bandages…
“Hi, sweetheart!” Chirps the woman closest to you while she peels away tape and gauze.  “You bled through so we’re just cleaning you up, okay?”
You simply nod and stare up at the ceiling.  It doesn’t hurt, thankfully, and the only thing you feel is cold air on your chest.  Part of you shudders.  Medical settings could be… complicated with your unique condition.  But you try not to anticipate the worst.
Oh how wrong you are.
“You can come in,” says the other nurse.  “Just replacing his bandages.  We’ll be out in a few.”
The hum in response yanks you from whatever blissful stupor the pain meds had lulled you into and you shoot up in the bed, shocking the nurse tending your wound.
“Careful, baby! You’ll tear your stitches–”
You barely hear her, nor do you feel her hands attempting to coax you back to the bed.  You go down, but not before locking eyes with your one and only.
Fuck…
They’ve got the top of your gown off and there’s no way–
You swallow thickly as your throat closes with a wave of shame.  You shut your eyes to hide the tears gathering within them, listening intently as Wesker’s nearly silent footsteps come to a halt on the other side of your bed.  He sees you.  There’s no way he doesn’t.  He’ll have questions.  Fuck, maybe he’ll just know outright.  Wesker’s a smart man…
You should’ve told him.
You keep your eyes screwed shut for what feels like eternity, even after the door clicks and the nurses leave you to each other’s company.  Neither of you says a word and it’s nearly pure silence until you hear the drag of a chair.  You just about jump out of your skin when his fingertips graze your knuckles, but they don’t retreat.  Instead, he takes your hand in his, lifts it, and presses kiss after kiss to it.
Your eyes crack open, vision bleary from tears and clearing as they spill.  You find him looking at you with furrowed brows and some painful combination of worry and relief written across his face.  His glasses are hooked on his shirt, showing you icy blues with a touch of red in the surrounding scleras. 
“How do you feel?”  His voice is as calm as ever, but, for once, his expression betrays him.
“Like I got shot,” you rasp.  You crack the tiniest smile despite the swirling dread and anxiety filling you to the brim.  You observe him for a minute, looking for something, anything to confirm your fears.
You find nothing.
“Indeed,” he hums, lips twitching at the corners.  “I’m glad you’re in good spirits despite the tears.”
You give a weepy chuckle that turns to tight sobs.  You feel so helpless and pathetic.  You’d almost died and now your little secret had been put on wide display for him.  Part of you figures this is just the universe’s way of telling you to get on with it.  Just finally rip the bandaid off.
You suddenly start to rise from your flat position.  Wesker watches you for signs of discomfort, taking his finger off the bed controls only once you were upright and–
Oh fuck– no, no, no!
They hadn’t buttoned your gown earlier.  The front section falls forward and you scramble to push it back up, holding it in place as you clench your eyes shut and bite your tongue.  His hand leaves yours and your stomach drops, ice shooting through your veins. For a minute, you think he’s leaving, but then–
Snap.  Snap.  Snap.
Your eyes widen, gaze falling to the hands working to pinch together the little buttons that run along the seam at your shoulder.  Wesker leans across you just slightly to repeat the process on the other side.  His scent fills your lungs and you can’t help but take a deep, greedy breath, chin quivering all the while. 
“Would you like to stay with me while you recover?”  He asks softly, taking his seat once more.  “Or would you prefer if I stayed with you instead?”
It’s so earnest that you could scream.  Part of you wonders if he’s just avoiding the elephant in the room.
“I imagine the comfort of your own home would lend itself better to your recovery,” he continues, taking your hand in his once more. “But I am not averse to either choice.”
“Al, you don’t have to–”
“You’ll need the help.”  He says, giving your hand a gentle squeeze.  “I assume you’ve had restrictions like this before.”
That cold feeling runs through your body again. He’s not avoiding it.   
“Yeah…”  
And he’s completely right.  You will need help.  You doubt your restrictions will be as tight as those you had after top surgery, but you did take a bullet to the chest.  Two, technically…
“I want you to think about it.”  Wesker checks his watch as he speaks, rising from his chair with a small huffed breath.  “My break is nearly over, but I’ll try to come by again before visitation hours end.  You should rest some more.”
You let your head fall back against the pillow once again, eyes fixed on him as he pushes the chair back to its original spot.  Wesker approaches your bedside again, hand raising to rest against the side panel controls.
“Up or down?”  He asks, voice soft.
“Mm, somewhere in between please.”  
Your eyes lock with his as you descend.  That same tenderness still dances in his gaze– the kind he saves for you and you alone.  Despite the tendrils of anxiety tugging at your mind, you find such an act soothes you to the core.  Wesker breaks eye contact for a split second to glance behind himself, ever the private man he is, and he leans over you.  His lips press to your forehead first, warm and soft, and his right hand rises to your cheek to thumb at the curve.  He holds that position for a moment, breaking it only to press another to your lips.
“Hm,” he hums, breaking away to glance at the monitor.  He chuckles softly.  “Your heart rate just jumped.”
Oh god, you think it yourself.  You can practically feel your cheeks go up in flames, but you giggle nonetheless at his cheeky little observation.  “Well, you know… handsome blonde guys named Albert do that to me.”
He leaves with a light shade of pink dusting his cheeks, much to your satisfaction.
They keep you at the hospital for another full day just to be safe.  Wesker spent his lunch break with you again, during which he reminded you that he would absolutely be aiding you while you’re under physical restrictions– you need only pick the place.  He’d been positive your own home would be better, so that’s what you opted for.  
Much to your joy, you weren’t excessively limited.  No heavy lifting, no strenuous activity– all the usuals.  You were to have two full weeks off before returning to simple desk duty.  Wesker picked you up, duffel bag of his necessities already packed in the back seat of his car, and brought you home.  Things were stellar until you realized he wanted to do just about every little thing for you, convinced you would cause yourself further harm.  Cooking was out of the question, so he made you meals that you could’ve sworn belonged in a gourmet restaurant rather than your little apartment. And laundry?  Forget about it.  You practically had to wrestle a handful of socks and towels from him so that you could feel less like a deadbeat.  Wound care, though… that was where things got tricky.  Wesker insisted that he be the one to change your bandages, and he did so twice a day, which was more often than was even recommended.
“I said I would take care of you.  What kind of partner would I be if I let you walk around in old bandages, hm?” 
It had been hard to let him do it.  Despite knowing full well he had a clear view of your chest in the hospital, you were still apprehensive to let him see it again.  No questions had been raised in regard to the origin of your scars, but that was somehow worse.  For a time, you figured he chalked it up to some sort of wound obtained in the field, but the day came where his hands wandered and a fingertip trailed the line running beneath your left pectoral.
“I…” You try, swallowing thickly to quell your nerves.
“Tell me about them.” Wesker breathes, finger still running along the ridge, pausing over the parts that weren’t quite perfect.
The worst part of everything?  You know full well you could just walk away and he’d leave it.  Al never pries; he always respects your boundaries.  'No' has always been a complete sentence to him, something you’ve appreciated endlessly in your time together with him.  But, all the same, wasn’t it time you gave an inch?  The man so endlessly patient and sweet to you, despite how he presents himself to the rest of the world, deserved the truth.
So you spill.
“I’m transgender…”  You murmur, words tight in your throat as you stare down to your socked feet.  From there, the rest falls free.  Every little detail.  Childhood woes, adulthood struggles– how happy you were the day you got your very first shot of testosterone and how you felt like you had a new lease on life itself when you woke up from your chest surgery all those years ago.  A tear or two escapes you as you tell your tale, but they’re not the bad kind.  No… they come from something else entirely.  A joy you could never put to words, a cresting wave of pride that you’ve come so far and lived so well despite every bump in the road, a sense of self that felt like wings upon your back…  With every story, you find yourself meeting his gaze more often until you’re looking right into those icy blues.
If Albert is dissatisfied with your revelation, he doesn’t show it.  Instead, he stands before you and listens intently to every word.  Without his glasses, you can see his eyes soften at certain parts, but it's the way his hand doesn’t quite leave from where he’d touched your scar before that keeps you hopeful throughout the entire ordeal.
“And I– I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before, I just…” You exhale hard, eyes dropping with the weaning of that miracle burst of confidence.  “Telling people is… difficult.”
“Did you think I would react badly?”
You didn’t expect such a question, let alone for it to be asked so gently.  “I… yes and no.”  You chew the inside of your cheek as you ponder the way to best explain it to him.  “Not everyone is kind about it.  I didn’t think– it wasn’t that I thought you’d be mean about it, I just… I didn’t want you to feel like I was lying to you…”
Wesker’s eyes flit to the side for a brief second.  “I understand.  Though I fail to see how you would’ve lied.”
At that, you let out a breathy little laugh, eyes closing as you shake your head.  “So you’re okay with it?”  You ask finally, hand rising to rest over his that still lingered at your chest.  The anxiety returns and you worry the side of your lower lip between your canines.
“I am,” Wesker hums, offering you perhaps the softest, sweetest smile you’ve ever seen grace his face.  His free hand reaches for the one that hangs loose by your side, holding it tenderly as leans forward.  At first you think he’s going for a kiss, which you happily prepare for, but he presses his forehead to yours.  You allow your eyes to flutter shut, same as him.  “I’m afraid you’ve stolen my heart, my dear.” He pauses for a moment, brushing his nose against yours. “You are who you are.  I wouldn’t want you any other way.”
At that, there’s simply no helping the way you throw yourself at him, arms wrapping around him as tight as you can without agitating your wound.  He returns your embrace immediately, palms stroking up and down the length of your back, perfectly warm against your skin.  
There’s one last thing to tell him.  Something that’s been in your heart for a while now.  He deserves every truth from you, and you’re all too happy to give it to the man who assigns you heaps of reports at work and makes your heart sing at home.
“I love you.”  You murmur against his collar, smiling big and wide at how his arms tighten around you.  “I really, really love you.”
“Good,” he hums.  Wesker rests his chin atop your head, swaying slightly as if to music that wasn’t there.  “Because I really, really love you, too.”
You giggle at his mimicry, but, in truth, you’re overflowing with joy.  It’s as if the sun itself has risen in your chest to hear those words, but that is simply the effect Wesker has on you.
What bliss to know you warm his heart the same.
