#uncolonizing

[auressea]

hmmmm. OK folks- I'd appreciate some respectful insights here.

I may be out-of-date and out-of-touch!

Is this a meaningful, intentional way of uncolonizing and doing anti-racism work or.. is it more White Liberal Performance points which may detract from the Actual Work? Is this a dominant opinion?

I'm confused for 3 main reasons!

when I use an emoji or emoticon in any digital or social media platform- I do not use it to represent "me" doing the "thing". Do you?! Are you using this as an AVATAR of self-expression? To me, these are symbols and short cuts to represent an idea/mood - not a *self-action* indicator. Is this generational?

i am aware that white is not a default... and for many years the implied 'default' to White skin tone- has pissed me off. So as soon as a neutral/medium skin tone was available - I started using it instead. I bring this up in discord servers - asking the default setting for reaction icons be shifted to a medium skin tone.

I have been educated to understand the digital blackface is in the use of gifs and reaction images -usually based on screencaps and manips of real BIPoC. Part of the on-going exploitation of BIPoC and their culture -to imply tropes, make jokes, and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Does this also extend to the use of skin-toned emojis and emoticons?

This game caused quite a stir when it kickstarted, and it definitely delivered. The book's art and content are gorgeous, and the game runs really nicely, hitting that sweet spot of crunchiness that I like. The uncolonized future it describes is a rich and complex world, gaining depth from its cultural base, and bringing it into focus with a lot of character and coherence. The setting felt really vibrant in the sessions I GM'd thanks to just a few details. The system is rather granular, but straightforward, and players smoothly got in stride during the sessions. Abilities, the "science fantasy" part characters first come into contact with, feel right in place with the setting, and are woven into it with enough context to further connect characters and setting. The action economy is pretty traditional and does its job well, and encounters have felt dangerous, making players look first for alternatives, then for every possible advantage, if they couldn't find one.

Un grande successo quando uscì su kickstarter, questo gioco ha mantenuto le sue promesse. Il contenuto e l'estetica del manuale sono splendidi e il gioco scorre veramente bene, raggiungendo giusto quel grado di meccanicità che piace a me. Il suo futuro incolonizzato dipinge un mondo ricco e complesso, che acquisisce spessore dai suoi fondamenti culturali, messi in evidenza con sapienza e coerenza. L'ambientazione ha dato decisamente molto tono alle sessioni che ho masterato con giusto una manciata di dettagli. Il sistema è piuttosto granulare ma diretto e i giocatori hanno colto fluidamente le dinamiche durante le partite. Le Abilità, la prima parte "science fantasy" con cui i giocatori hanno a che fare, sono ben implementate nell'ambientazione, creando un ulteriore legame fra questa e i personaggi. L'economia d'azione è abbastanza classica e fa bene il suo lavoro, inoltre durante gli scontri si è sentito il pericolo, spingendo i giocatori a cercare prima alternative e a sfruttare ogni possibile vantaggio quando non ce n'erano.

messed up seed fact of the day is that even the ability for a ‘crop’ of plants to come up and flower and make fruit all at once is bred for. if you’re just some seed buried in wild uncolonized woods or prairie there is no such thing as a hard set emergence time even if all the other plants are doing it. it’s just when the vibes are correct and for some native plants that takes legitimately years and multiple winters. or you could do the opposite and try to grow all at once with everyone else right away in the first spring if it suits you but still, no guarantees. no point to this post it just weighs on me heavily

tumblr tuesday: carina’s cosmic cliffs

Cosmic cliffs, our beloveds. ICYMI, @nasa​​ recently shared some neat new images from the James Webb telescope. So, of course, you all got to work. Whether it's plonking your faves on a star-birthing nebula or celebrating the sparkle in its uncolonized state, there's art for that.

One of the lamest aspects of the MCU for me, of which there are many, is that since these products are designed from top to bottom to be easily digested sludge for their prime audience of North American philistines the world of the Marvel universe is basically entirely culturally and politically identical (and entirely US/anglo-centric) to ours except with capeshit happening. There's no attempt or desire to explore the ramifications of all of the insane shit it depicts. Net zero worldbuilding. Like you really expect people to believe that a world where aliens and cosmic civilizations are an established fact, superheroes and magic are real, the most powerful and technologically advanced country on Earth is an uncolonized African nation, and literally half of all life in existence disappeared for a bit and then came back would look and act and feel just like ours? Like, totally the same? Cool. Here's Megan Thee Stallion and a Star Wars reference. Eat it you stupid shits. Kill your curiosity and wonder and capacity to imagine different worlds.

1914 silent film. wow! OK, I'm sorry I missed this screening.

"A remarkable portrait of the Kwakwaka’wakw (formerly Kwakiutl) people of northern Vancouver Island and the central coast, In the Land of the Head Hunters was the first feature film made in B.C. and is the oldest extant feature made in Canada. It’s also the first feature made with an entirely Indigenous North American cast. Directed by Edward S. Curtis, the renowned American photographer of First Nations life, the film mixes documentary and dramatic elements, recording authentic traditions and rituals, including the potlatch ceremony, but also offering an epic tale of love, war, and adventure set in pre-European times. It premiered in New York and Seattle in December 1914. This beautiful DCP restoration includes John J. Branham’s original 1914 score performed by Vancouver’s Turning Point Ensemble."

AEIWAM question:

The Soul Society has the ability to interact with the human world physically, and wildly more firepower than pre-dead people have. Is there a particular reason the world of the dead hasn't pulled a colonialism or other form of resource extraction on the world of the living? Is there a reason the warlords on the fringes of the rukongai don't set up in the world of the living instead of the spirit world's most marginal land?

Why haven't the dead colonized the living? The dead have not pulled a colonialism on the living world because (and IIRC this is canon but it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment) while Shinigami, Arrancar and other dead spirits CAN go hang out in the living world for brief periods of time, if forced to STAY in the living world, their superpowers rapidly degrade because the ambient spiritual energy in the living world is so low. That's why Rukia wasn't *immediately* suspicious when her powers weren't coming back after activating Ichigo's, and why the shinigami that visit Ichigo's school during the aarancar arc don't stay after the battle- they can't heal effectively. There's also the whole "Balance the total number of Souls between the living and spirit worlds" thing. I'm not sure what the dead having permanent residency in the world of the living would do to that balance, but it's probably Not Great.

Why aren't there fringe district warlords or other countries? Great news! THERE ARE. They're just not human. Hueco Mundo used to be the bulk of the West 80th disctrict, but then it got lightly dimension'd off by the noble houses after they stole the Soul King's bodyparts, and the partition between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society is made of the Soul King's toes. Heck, it's even got a capital city- Las Noches! Las Noches used to be drastically more populated before Barragan took over and murdered the shit out of everyone he could find, because there's a BIG difference between not being able to let go of the living world and actually resorting to cannibalism, and I think there used to be a TON of hollows like Dondochaka and Pesche who just subsist off the ambient Reishi and do whatever instead of eating people. The Eastern 80th district is the land of the Beastfolk- Spirits like kitsune and tanuki, the ghosts of ancient and venerated trees, the sort of thing that appear in Mononoke/Mushishi/Princess Mononoke etc. and the wolves that Komamura is descended from. They're not as organized as the hollows so they didn't get ghetto'd like Hueco Mundo, but neither is the Soul Society able to tangle with them,. See, the entire Court Guard System and Central 46 was founded SPECIFICALLY to end and prevent the warring clans that had dominated Soul Society for so long. So the Central 46 and yamamoto are very much erring on "Don't let any extant clan or district or whatever political org gain too much power, and for the love of god, don't start a war", so the East is heavily protected by the sanctions that keep any clan from raising an army to invade another clan (much smaller than what would be needed to invade the east), the fact that the gotei-13 recruits very nearly all spiritually powerful people away from joining that kind of force, and Yamamoto's personal connection to Komamura's wolf clan (Major spoilers for the fic but the upshot is that he will NEVER tresspass on Wolf land, and the shinigami are also forbidden from doing so) The North is uncolonized for roughly the same reason antartica is uncolonized- most of it is straight-up inhospitable to human life, or all but a handful of beasfolk and hollows. In fact, the only thing that "Lives" up there are Kami- Serious Kami, like The Firebird and other personifications of Major natural disasters or philosophical concepts. The ONLY reason to go to North 80 is if you want to pick a fight with a God, and why would you do THAT when one of them just moved into the court guards? (That isn't quite true, actually- there are quite a few humans living on the southern edge of the Zaraki District- but they live in isolated villages that change locations every few decades and don't appear in Soul Society census data. They don't pay taxes, but neither do they demand services. The court guard is aware of the tribes living up north, but so long as they don't start shit, the gotei-13 is willing to ignore them.) The South 80th district is... well, it's 95% ocean, for starters, and many of the lovely tropical islands in there are active volcanoes and/or hellmouths. There's quite a few humans living in South 80, but the overall population is even smaller than the tribes in North 80, and many of the islands are "Uninhabited". I use quotes because those volcanoes are the result of Hell cracking under the strain of not being able to pass souls through it fast enough, and making incursions into other dimensions. The Demons that live on the spirit world side of these cracks have no beef with soul society- if anything, they're very pleased with it!, but they're busy trying to prevent a dimensional collapse or mass prison break, and tend to chase off any curious humans, so the closest thing to a "real" government is the Dimensional Crack Stabilization Project Manager, and the Law of Hell is mostly OSHA.

Thank you, that was a very helpful question!

Terix

Humans, often unpredictable, abandoned all reason on deathworld Terix. Initial surveys noted the planet’s apex predators were predominantly reptilian. Galactic Union declared it a deathworld and it was largely forgotten. Human researchers had been poring over uncolonized planet reports. Their aim had been to find places they could settle where others couldn’t.

Within weeks of discovering Terix several privately sponsored bio engineering expiditions descended on the planet. None of these had been sanctioned by the United Earth government. In all previous settlements humans fully complied with interstellar regulation. This was just the beginning of the irregularities.

After acknowledging the illegality of unsanctioned actions, the human government forces declared Terix to be vital to military research. Galactic Union bureaucracy was slow to respond. As political committees debated, humans dissembled and filed appeals in interstellar courts.

Whispers and rumors thrived in the absence of official narrative. Low resolution videos depicted smooth and scaled bodies dealing unspeakable violence to each other. Unverified reports were difficult to distinguish from popular human entertainment. Stories of unethical experiments and last stands against ravenous hordes flooded the feeds and channels. Some were hoaxes, most were sensationalist and exaggerated.

Eventually patience with the humans ran out. Tensions reached the point that many feared the outbreak of war. Abruptly, delegates from Earth government agreed to open the planet up to inspections from any and all comers. Government functionaries, media, academics and august personages turned out in droves. The alleged horrors were nowhere to be seen.

It appeared that the humans were planning to develop an amusement park on the deathworld. The natural environment was hardly changed. There was evidence of illegal genetic modifications. Natives of Terix had been significantly altered to resemble various extinct native species of Earth. The results were terrifying. Something had to be done to stop this madness.

Representatives of human government, military and private finance were prepared to pay fines in recompense for the unethical nature of early experimentation. Questions were raised regarding the rumors of death on the planet. Humans asserted that the only deaths were human, and that compensation had been dealt with.

Objections remained. Protestors demanded that the experiments be euthanized, humans removed from the planet, and be subject to heavy sanctions. A riot nearly broke out. Deafening screams pealed out from the sky above. Winged reptiles the size of lower atmosphere aircraft circled above. Humans sat astride their gargantuan necks. In defiance of biological science these monsters released gouts of flame from their mouths.

“Did you really think we would go to the trouble of making dinosaurs and not make dragons as well?” An anonymous (possibly apocryphal) human quipped.

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Stewjoni Shifter AU

You know that fandom trope where people use that fact that Obi-Wan’s home planet (Stewjon) is unknown as an excuse to make him interesting/give him more alien traits? 

 W E L P.  

I’ve jumped on the bandwagon.

So here’s some doodles of my ‘Stewjoni Shifters’ AU!

Also, here’s some lore I’ve thought of (only a little inspired from Avatar):

The planet Stewjon is an Outer rim planet, about as far out as you can get 

It’s very unexplored and completely uncolonized

This is due to the fact that the planet, it’s plant life, and it’s wildlife, act as an ‘immune system’ of sorts and attack any outsiders once they land of the planet

Any ships/outside lifeforms that land of the planet are instantly attack by horrible weather, poisonous plants, or vicious wildlife that targets them

There was a period of time after the planet was first discovered that dozens of ships tried to explore the planet but after all of them were killed, destroyed, or chased off, most stopped

Planet was labeled unsafe, hazardous, and inhabitable by the Republic and no one travels there (except for the occasional bold explorer who tries to be ‘the first to tame Stewjon’, only to be chased of or killed)

However, the planet IS actually inhabited 

Republic knows that there are intelligent, native lifeforms on Stewjon, but no one has gotten film or photos of them so it’s unknown what they really look like (since most explorers are killed) (and those that live either never see the Stewjoni or only see unclear glimpses of them)

So there are tons of myths about what the Stewjoni look like, and how they live on a planet that seemingly tried to kill any intelligent life (it doesn’t, it only tries to kill foreign lifeforms)

Myths on Stewjoni: they are cannibal monsters, they are rogue Sithspawn, they are past dead explorers possessed and mutated by the planet, etc.

Reality: The Stewjoni natives are shifters of sorts with a force like connection to their planet

Stewjoni have a ‘Stewjoni’ form and a ‘Near-Human’ form

What they consider their ‘natural’ form is the their Stewjoni form (the creature drawn in my sketches)

This form is a little bigger than a Wookiee, are pretty strong, have night vision, and have strong scent 

In this form they can only speak their native language, which is similar to Wookiee language (animalistic sounds like growls, chirps, hissing, clicks, grumbling, etc.)

Their ‘Near-Human’ form is considered as their ‘unnatural/less common’ form

They don’t shift into it as much

This form is looks exactly like any human and is the same size as the average human

In this form they can speak more general languages (Basic/any langue’s with articulated words) plus their native language 

Only difference is they can still use their sense of smell that they use while in ‘Stewjoni’ form

The Native Stewjoni species is as close to being ‘an entire species born natural force-sensitive’ as you can get

They don’t have Jedi powers of anything like that

They just all are born with low lever force sensitivity which allows them to connect with their planet (only their planet) and it’s life forms/plant life

(Can’t manipulate the planet by any means, but they can feel connected to it and feels the emotions of the animals)

(If the Jedi/Republic ever found out more about the Stewjoni species it would contentious. A species that can shift from a normal looking human into a bigger, stronger form? Plus an entire species that naturally is born with low lever force sensitivity?)

(If you are like ‘that’s not how the force works’ or ‘that’s not canon consistent’ then I’ll just say ‘chalk it up to Alternate Universe changes’)

Now we get onto Obi-Wan and his story in this AU:

Obi-Wan is born on Stewjon and is Stewjoni!

But he’s not a normal Stewjoni. His force connection is not low level as like the rest of his people, it’s high level (Jedi level)

So his people, who know of the Jedi, decide he needs to be taken to grow up somewhere were he can be trained (even if their people are kinda force sensitive, they don’t have the abilities or knowledge of stronger force abilities and skills. So they don’t know how to really help Obi-Wan)

(Also, with Obi-Wan being so force sensitive and living on a planet that is kinda force sensitive/responds to him, he’s overwhelmed and don’t control how he effects the planet or how it effects him. He’s so young that he can’t even understand what’s happening to him or how to stop it) (He’s literally a baby at this point)

(So, how do the Stewjoni know of the Jedi? Well since no one knows Stewjoni are shifters (and everyone assumes they are savage animals who aren’t really intelligent). The Stewjoni sometimes shift into Near-human form and go off planet to discreetly check out the Republic/get goods

The Republic and Jedi do not know the Stewjoni do this (even if a Jedi would run into a Stewjoni, they only would read as a vaguely force-sensitive human)

So Obi-WAN’s parents and the Stewjon leader sneak to the Jedi temple with Obi-Wan in Near-Human form and then ask for an audience with the Jedi council

They pretty much get the Jedi to swear secrecy and explain how the Stewjoni are shifters and how Obi-Wan is strong in the force. 

They want the Jedi to take care of him because they don’t know how to

(they don’t tell them about how their species as a whole is low force sensitive, or that they can connect to their planet. Basically they keep it bare minimum information)

The Jedi are reluctant to take Obi-Wan (he’s from a mysterious planet, a mysterious species, and a force sensitive shape shifter)

But they eventually agree

The council are sworn to secrecy, they can’t tell the Republic or other Jedi what little they known about the Stewjoni, and they can’t tell anyone what about Obi-Wan is

The Stewjoni leave Obi-Wan with the Jedi to be raised in the Crèche

(Before they leave, the Stewjoni say that Obi-Wan is free to come to Stewjon later or contact them about his species and culture, but the Jedi council is like ‘it’s not the Jedi way to keep contact with family once part of the Order’. In reality they just don’t want to be any more affiliated with the Stewjoni. They already are being secretive by hiding their knowledge of the Stewjoni and Obi-Wan from the Republic/senate. So they don’t want more contact with them in case they get found out by the Republic. As it will look bad if they are secretly in contact with this mysterious and powerful species)

Growing up in the Temple, Obi-Wan is very heavily monitored

The Council/few high up Jedi that know what Obi-Wan is, aren’t cruel to Obi-Wan per-say . They aren’t outright mean to him, but they are influenced (unintentionally) by the myths and propaganda about Stewjoni Natives and how they are ‘cannibals’, ‘feral’, and ‘naturally dangerous’.

 It doesn’t help that all they know are rumors and the fact that everyone who goes to Stewjon usually is killed. Everyone assumes the Stewjoni people killed the explorers, not that the planet actually does it. 

(It also doesn’t help that the Stewjoni refused to give much information on their people and their traits when they gave Obi-Wan to the Jedi)

So they have a stereotype of Stewjoni in their heads. They think Obi-Wan is by nature, feral and inclined to violence

(To be clear, they are wrong. The Stewjoni are not naturally voilent or feral)

They think any anger or negative emotion Obi-Wan expresses is a sign of him leaning towards his nature of violence

They swiftly try to staunch those emotions in Obi-Wan (not just in the typical Jedi way of releasing through the force, but also by reprimanding Obi-Wan for ‘giving in’ to his ‘violent instincts’)

This definitely is a struggle in Obi-WAN’s youth

It’s an unfortunate cycle: Obi-Wan gets angry because he’s a literal child with emotions -> Jedi stereotype and belittle Obi-Wan’s emotions for being ‘Stewjoni violence’ -> Obi-Wan gets upset that for being treated this way -> Jedi punish him for being angry -> *reapeat cycle*

(It’s not until he’s older (and more beat down from being constantly told he’s ‘bad’ for having certain emotions) that he learns to control his emotions so well and be calm. Thus becoming the Obi-Wan we know so well)

The Jedi also have the thought that Obi-Wan shifting into his Stewjoni form makes him more feral and animalistic, so they pretty much forbid him from shifting

(So he ends up shifting in secret when he’s a young. But after being caught and punished he pretty much stops shifting completely as he’s older)

Basically his entire childhood he’s treated as if he’s innately dangerous and bad, and only through training from the Jedi will be be able to learn to control himself and attempt at being a good person

Only if he embraces being the perfect Jedi and suppress his Stewjoni nature will he be safe for everyone else around him

He’s treated like a dangerous animal

When he’s young he fights this notion but pretty quickly he stops and even starts to believe it

This is also why no Jedi master wants to take him as a Padawan

Even if most Jedi don’t know about what he is, they know the Crèche Masters and Council treat him warily and talk like he’s violent and angry

So he gets sent to the Agri-Corps (like canon) when he ages out at 13 and the Council hopes that this way they can still help Obi-Wan control his force abilities while keeping him away from fighting and Kighthood (they fear if he becomes a knight that the training on fighting will make him loose control of his Stewjoni instincts)

Everything with Qui-Gon taking Obi-Wan on last minute still happens

(Except for the context that Qui-Gon knows about Obi-Wan being Stewjoni from the council and pretty much says ‘I’ll take you on, only because I believe you can over come you’re innate nature’. He still believes the stereotype that Obi-Wan has natural instincts to be violent, but he thinks Obi-Wan can overcome them)

Obi-Wan leaving the Order to stay on Melida/Daan to help the Young in the War stays the same (except he shifts a few times to help the Young in battle and he makes them promise to never tell what he can do)

As Obi-Wan gets older and becomes more calm and controlled of his emotions (better at hiding them from the Jedi tbh), the council and Jedi become more accepting and kind to him

(They think he’s strong and capable, that he overcame his innate nature and that’s admirable of him)

(Again, they still believe the stereotype of Stewjoni instincts and nature, and they believe Obi-Wan is naturally dangerous, just that he’s successful embraced being a Jedi and suppressing his natural self to be better)

The few who don’t believe the stereotypes and understand the cruel treatment Obi-Wan goes through are: Quinlan, Bant, Garen, and Mace. (Obi-Wan breaks the rules to not tell anyone what he is to tell Quinlan, Bant, and Garen what he is when they are still in the Crèche)

Quinlan on the regular tries to sneak Obi-Wan out to get him to shift and be himself more (when Obi-Wan is older he resists these trip more and more as he believes the lies about his Stewjoni form being bad)

AND THATS ENOUGH RANDOM LORE FOR NOW, WOW THATS TOO MUCH LORE.  I lied here’s a few more less plot related lore bits of this AU:

When Obi-Wan discovers the clones and becomes a general of the 212th Battalion he deeply empathizes with the way the clones are dehumanized and how they get no choices in their lives, how they are controlled

He understands what it’s like to be told you are/should be innately a certain way

To be told he should give up parts of yourself to become what others need of you

So he’s kind and more personable to the clones than many others

(Though there is a dark part of him that feels bitterness towards the fact that the Jedi feel sympathy to the clones. The Jedi are kind to the clones and try to protect them in battle. They out right acknowledge that it’s unfair how the clones are controlled by the Republic. The Jedi tell the clones ‘you are individuals’ and ‘your emotions matter’. They never did that for him. The Jedi were never that kind to him. He feels bad for feeling this way)

Stewjoni do have some more ‘animalistic’ behaviors, but no violent ones that the stereotypes may suggest. More like they like to lightly buttheads/nuzzle cheeks as a greeting with friends and family. So sometimes when Obi-Wan is injured/tired/out of it he will try to nuzzle/knock his head against Cody, Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex, or other clones, and it confuses the hell out of them lol.

Sometimes Obi-Wan will make Stewjoni noises when distracted and it’s also pretty confusing to bystanders\

*Obi-Wan is frustrated with some paperwork he’s doing*: *starts growling under his breath* 

Cody: *also doing paperwork nearby* ‘wtf’

 Example:

*Obi-Wan after fighting Maul and listening to Mail monologue about how he’s gonna make Obj-Wan suffer* 

Obi-Wan: *hisses at Maul*

Maul: ‘. . . did you just fucking hiss at me?

Example:

 *Obi-Wan injured after a mission and drugged up on painkillers* 

Obi-Wan: *leans into Anakin and nuzzles him while chirping* 

Anakin: *Confused embarrassed panicking*

 Example:

*Ahsoka shaken and upset after a bad mission*

 Obi-Wan: *sits down next to her and raps a arm around her and starts purring*

Ahsoka: *starts purring back*

 (Cody and Anakin my suspect that Obi-Wan isn’t human but Near-Human of some kind but don’t really know for sure)

(Ahsoka is the only one who can sense that Obi-Wan is something not human and not Near-Human. Headcanon: that Togruta have their own ‘animalistic’ traits (similar to Stewjoni and Wookiees), so when Obi-Wan acts more ‘Stewjoni’ she picks up on it more. Normally she wouldn’t guess it but since she’s around him more than others and she already recognizes non-human behaviors, she sees it.)

Stewjoni when in Stewjoni form can only speak in their native langue’s (animal like sounds)

Stewjoni when in Near-Human form can speak more human like langue’s (Basic/Mandoa’a/etc.) but can also speak their native langue’s and make those sounds (chirps, growls, purrs, etc.)

Later when Obi-Wan is a young adult he gets a random urge of rebellion and gets a tattoo of a Stewjoni in Stewjoni form on his back (the ‘Stewjoni Emblem’)

I still have more plot/lore ideas for this AU but I really should stop at some point. So, if you read all that nonsense I wrote, hats off to you. Lol.

If homeworld was more lax during era 1 than in canon, why did rose pearl rebel?

homeworld still colonized planets, and rose pearl was fundamentally unhappy as a pearl, even if she didn't realize it at the time. first iris diamond treated her as something other than a pearl, and secondly she got to see earth in its uncolonized, near-untouched form. she saw the life on it and wanted to preserve it, just like our rose. she loved being more than a pearl. she loved seeing this side of iris. and she loved this planet. her rebellion was an escape and the protection of the world she wanted to preserve- but it got out of hand quickly :c.
