~ Ticklish Hands ~ 

HELLO FELLOW PPL! 

THIS FIC IS A GIFT TO THE WONDERFUL @rottmnt-supremacist

Ler: April👩🏾‍🦱💚

Lee: Raph🐢❤️

Warnings: None :)

Summary: Donnie, Leo and Mikey inform April on a little secret Raph has been keeping from her; chaos follows.

———————————————————————

Raph was chilling in his bedroom, listening to music with his headphones on while snuggling his favorite squishmello: Mr. Stripes the Zebra. He was sitting criss-cross applesauce on his red fluffy carpet he put next to his bed a couple days ago.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the side of his curtains. He took off his headphones and put them on his desk. It was most likely one of his siblings…and to be completely honest, was scared for the reason why they would come into his room…not that they would do anything bad of course! It’s just his siblings always found a way to make they’re visits to his room…interesting.

If it was Leo, he probably wanted to show Raph yet another TikTok of the Lightskin Stare trend with Olaf from Frozen that Raph’s sworn he’s seen more times then he’s even breathed. If it was Mikey, he probably wanted to show him another recipe he made. Mikey was getting…creative in the kitchen and wanted to try some different flavors! Like his famous Pickle-Pizza-Chocolate Cake-Ice Cream wrap…sounds delicious, right? If it was Don, he probably was coming in with a 25-26 page slideshow on why Raph should allow him to steal the government's secret stash of uranium…

Don’t ask…

And if it’s April? She probably came in to trash-talk her classmates about how they were just “stuck up rich kids who can’t pull their heads out of their own asses.” Which Raph knows more than 89% of April’s classmates deserve that insult.

Has all those scenarios happened before or is Raph being oddly specific?

Take a guess.

“Come in!” Raph exclaimed, preparing himself for whoever walked into his room.

“Hi Raphie! Your brothers told you your little secret…” April grinned as she went directly in front of Raph, sitting down. Raph cocked his head to the side in confusion. “Wait…what? What secret? Raph doesn’t keep secrets…” The snapper turtle said, putting his finger to his chin and wondering in thought. What secret? 

That time he ate all of Mikey’s leftover birthday cake? No…that couldn’t be it. He was caught red-handed by the birthday boy himself for that one. He has the bruises to prove it…

What about when he stole all of April’s nail polish for himself to try? Uh…no, couldn’t be that either. She actually found him in the bathroom trying to paint his nails with her light blue nail polish: Periwinkle. He knows that blue is Leo’s thing but he must admit he did look pretty good! But he does remember having more colors than periwinkle on his nails, and with April’s help he was able to have pretty nice nails. So that can’t be it.

The snapping turtle wondered, what in the actual shell did my brothers tell her? Because if he himself can’t even remember what kinds of secrets he’s told his brothers who knows what they told his elder sister. And judging by that Cheshire grin April had plastered on her face, it was something really funny he did or really embarrassing. 

“What did they tell you?” Raph gulped, fiddling with his fingers in his lap. April innocently smiled, cracking her knuckles. “Give me your hand.” April said, reaching out to Raph with one of her hands as if she was grabbing something. The snapping turtle hesitantly put one of his hands in hers as she turned it upward so his palm was facing the ceiling.

“Tell me, Raph. Do your hands happen to be ticklish?” April asked, not even waiting for an answer before she scribbled her fingers over Raph’s palm.

Oh.

those.

little.

SHITS. 

Raph was SO going to get them for this later…

“Pfft- Ahahaprihil!” Raph giggled, curling his fingers inside of his palm but only was able to curl them midway as April gently pulled back his fingers, not letting them curl. Raph came out of his sitting position and started squirming; lightly kicking his feet and squirming from left to right. “Stop squirming, Raph. I need to see if this tickles!” April demanded.

“Ihihit dohohoes tihihickle!” Raph yelled, covering his face with his free palm blushing a bit because- really?! Why did she think Raph was a giggling mess right now lightly kicking his feet at her feather-like touch across his palms? 

April then lightly started tracing over Raph’s wrist, causing the snapping turtle to throw his head back and cackle, kicking his legs on the floor trying to get his hand out of April’s grip. “AhahaHAPRIL! PleHEASE!” Raph cried, falling down on his shell due to how much he was laughing which gave April an opportunity to climb on him and scratch her fingers along his sides. 

Raph clamped his hands over his mouth, not wanting to get April satisfied about his reactions to her tickly touches. His sides weren’t even that ticklish! He’s fine. Pfft, tickling? What’s tickling? It doesn’t tickle at all  he’s fine-

April lightly grazed a finger on his shoulders, causing the red banded turtle to let out a girly scream, descending into laughter. 

Well, fuck. 

“There we go~! There’s my laughy Raphie!” April teased, now scribbling back to Raph’s sides. The snapper mentally cursed himself for even letting himself let his underarms be exposed in a situation like this. Because- it’s April. Not that he would openly admit it but she was probably the best tickler of the family. I mean- Look how much he’s laughing right now!

April started slowly moving up and down Raph’s side; only tickling him with her pointer finger on the both of her hands. “AHAHAPRIL NAHAHO WAHAIT!” Raph squealed, trying to push April’s fingers away from his ribs.

“What are you getting so worked up about, hmm big guy? Oho, you didn’t think I was gonna go…there, did you?” April teased playfully, poking near but nowhere close to Raph’s underarms as the turtle let out loud shrieks at the poking. 

“Stop squirming, buddy~! You’re making it really hard to tickle your good spots~!” April smiled, but the tease only worsened the squirming. 

“AhaHaPRIL! IHIT TIHIHICKLES! ReeReEhEEheE! PLeheHEASE!” Raph laughed, shaking his head and kicking his feet lightly, trying to get out from April’s hold. April smiled at the childhood nickname Raph said throughout his laughter, chuckling as the snapper turtles face started glowing a bright red. She hasn’t even been tickling him all that long!

“Stop squirming or I’m going to tickle your underarms.” April threatened which caused Raph to immediately stop thrashing and just laugh his heart out, weakly kicking his feet behind April here and there. “YOhohoHOUR’E tihihiHICKLING MEEHEE! Ihi caHAHAN’T hehelp ihit!” Raph whined as April only rolled her eyes in amusement. 

Suddenly, the second youngest of the Hamato Clan walked into the room, closing the curtain and walking to April, standing next to her, completely unbothered by his brother getting completely tortured by they’re older sister.

“Hey, April. Do you know where Mikey is? I wanted to show him this meme I found!” Leo giggled, rewatching whatever meme he had pulled up on his phone. “Oh! Mikey said that he was going to go to Baron’s place today, didn’t he tell you?” April said turning, her head to Leo but still tickling the sides of Raph’s ribs, switching between pokes and light scratching to keep him in stitches. 

“Ugh! No one ever tells me anything!” Leo groaned, turning his phone off and putting it in his sweatshirt pocket. “Thanks, I’m gonna go bother Dee. See you later, Riri!” Leo chirped, turning around to the exit. “Also, make sure to not kill Raphie over there, okay?” Leo chuckled, opening the curtain and leaving Raph’s room. “I won’t~!” April sang, kneading both of Raph’s thighs behind him.

Raph whined throughout his laughs as he kicked his feet and lightly pushed at April’s hands, trying to get April off of him. “NAhah! StAHAP! AHAHAPRIL!” 

“Raph, you literally tower over me, bud. You could EASILY stop me if you wanted to, but here we are~!” April teased, leaning in closer to give Raph a kiss on the cheek and scribbling her hands all over him tummy. “SHUHUT IHIHIT!” The snapper yelled, gripping his fingers on April’s wrists trying to ceases her tickle torture and then she suddenly…stopped?

“What did you just say…?” April asked, looking Raph dead in the eyes as she slowly started making her way up his sides. Then to his ribs. Now hovering over-

Oh no.

Oh. NO.

Raph couldn’t help but immediately start cackling as his sister's fingers hovered over his death spot: his underarms. He could feel the tingly sensations of her fingers slowly getting closer and closer. Raph tried kicking his feet, bucking her off, pushing her shoulders lightly but she did not move an inch. 

Oh…Raph was completely SCREWED. In the famous words of his second youngest brother: “Eugh boy…”

“AHAHA! WAHAIT WAHAIT WAHAHAIT! IHIHI’M SOHOHORRY!” Raph tried to reason. He wasn’t a scientist like Donnie but he’s pretty sure there’s a 99.9% chance that April’s going to go for his death spot no matter how many pleas he gives.

“Too little, too late, bud.”

April blew multiple raspberries on the right side of Raph’s neck, so much that he doesn’t even know how April isn’t out of breath yet while also tickling his underarms. But he couldn’t worry about that- he had to worry about not dying by the clutches of his big sister and her tickling hands. And ohmigosh did it tickle a whole lot…

And if things couldn’t get any worse, April started now randomly switching the sides of Raph’s neck where she was giving tickly kisses too; making the snapper scrunch his shoulders and shake his head. 

If you know Raph, you know for a FACT that he cannot STAND tickly kisses- it’s the actual death of him. He’s so used to roughhousing (he grew up with 3 little brothers, can you really blame him?) that he’s not used to these feather-like touches. Which makes it tickle so much f*cking more than it should.

“PLEHEHEHEHEASE!” Raph cried, hands still holding wrists and she continued her tickle torture. “Please, what little brother?” April asked, before blowing raspberries on Raph’s tummy. “IHIHI DUHUHUNNO!” He screamed.

“AHAHAPRIL AHAHA! PLEHEASE! IHIHI’M SOHOHORRY! MEHEHERCY!” Raph cried, tears building up in his eyes. April got off Raph, knowing the safe-word and lying down next to him on the fuzzy carpet as he caught his breath. “You okay, big guy?” April asked, turning her head towards her little brother. “Ihi’m fihine, sis.” Raph giggled, as April rubbed the ghost tickles away. She then got up to get Raph a glass of water that was on his desk and gave it to him. “Thahahanks…” Raph chuckled as he drank the water

The two eldest suddenly heard a crash nearby presumably in Donnie’s lab, followed by some yelling and shrieking, and…whirring?

“NARDO GET BACK HERE WITH MY GOGGLES!”

“YOU’LL HAVE TO CATCH ME IF YOU WANT THEM, FEO HERMANO!!!”

April sighed at the recus her other younger brothers were making, pinching the spot between her eyes as Raph erupted into laughter by his sister’s reaction. “We can’t leave those three alone for a second, can we?” April groaned, crossing her arms. “Yeah…” Raph sighed, standing up and taking April by the hand, helping her up. “Besides, I need to get revenge on them anyway for telling you I have ticklish hands anyway…” The snapper said, cracking his knuckles as April only chuckled at the statement.

“And don’t think you’re safe from Raph’s Revenge™, Riri” Raph grinned, poking April in the side causing her to squawk and squirm away from the touch. She glared at Raph before playfully shoving him as they exited his room. 

“Oho, I’d like to see you’d try, Raphie.”

face, diamonds, excitement, (magnetic resonance) image

I'm so excited to report that this Friday afternoon, I'm finally getting some new headshots taken...of the INSIDE of my head.

That's right, folks. After showing the lab work and pleading my case to the fine folks at the Friedman Center (and they really are terrific), ya girl finally got her brain/pituitary MRI approved.

Miraculously, I recovered from COVID ridiculously quickly. The symptoms resolved over a couple days, and I was already testing negative by Wednesday. Two more antigens and a PCR test later, I determined I'd be in the clear to be in my friend's wedding, although I still wore a mask--and the patron saints of Amazon search results blessed me with this set of KN95s, which included a bright blue one in the EXACT COLOR of my bridesmaid dress.

I never thought I'd be sitting here actively hoping to have a literal brain tumor, but between the fatigue, the listlessness, the lack of appetite, the stubborn and aggressive weight gain in spite of a lack of appetite, the fatigue, the significantly compromised immune system (this bout with COVID was my third weird viral infection in two months), the obnoxiously slow wound healing (there's a staple-scratch on my hand that's been there since March), the skin-thinning and skin-drying, and did I mention the fatigue...it sure would be great to have a straightforward answer and a clear path forward.

And, most importantly, it's the perfect excuse to be dramatic.

Just imagine the not-as-anonymous-as-they-think-they-are message board posts: "Ashley Wool teases a possible brain tumor as a last-ditch attempt to stay relevant in the Broadway world." "I heard she grew it on purpose just like those ovarian tumors." "Gurl well I heard the bitch was actually kicked out of Broadway Bares 'cause her autistic ass couldn't handle the noise." "Well I heard the bitch got hit by three zebras and a monkey. I can't stand the bitch no way."

Oh by the way, you can still donate to my Broadway Bares page and you totally should. The Friedman Center is a collaboration between Mount Sinai and the Entertainment Community Fund and is supported by grants from BC/EFA. We gotta pay it forward.

book reviews: People of the Book (Geraldine Brooks)

BOOK BLURB: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of March comes an intricate, ambitious novel of richly imagined history and intimate emotional intensity. People of the Book sweeps its readers on an intellectual adventure, from convivencia Spain to the ruins of Sarajevo, from the Silver Age of Venice to the sunburned rock faces of northern Australia.

In 1996, a rare book expert [Hanna Heath] is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and conservation of a mysterious, beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript [the Sarajevo Haggadah] created in fifteenth-century Spain and recently saved from destruction during the shelling of Sarajevo's libraries. When Hanna Heath, a caustic Aussie loner with a passion for her work, discovers a series of tiny artifacts in the book's ancient binding—an insect-wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—she begins to unlock the mysteries of the book's eventful past and to uncover the dramatic stories of those who created it and those who risked everything to protect it.

In Bosnia during World War II, a Muslim risks his life to protect it from the Nazis. In the hedonistic salons of fin de siècle Vienna, the book becomes a pawn in the struggle against the city's rising anti-Semitism. In Venice in 1609, a Catholic priest saves the book from the Inquisition's fires. In Tarragona in 1492, the scribe who wrote the text sees his family destroyed by the agonies of forced exile. And in Seville in 1480, the reason for the manuscript's extraordinary illuminations is finally disclosed. Hanna's investigations unexpectedly plunge her into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultranationalist fanatics. her experiences will test her belief in herself and in the man she has come to love.

REVIEW: As a fictionalized history for a real-life book, the Sarajevo Haggadah, I was expecting a very dry, academic piece of fiction when I began reading this novel, but it turned out to be a very dramatic, colorful book, and I don't mean that in a good way. When a wine stain on the book's pages is analyzed it turns out to have a little blood mixed in with it, and the analyzer immediately starts imagining dramatic explanations for it. Protagonist Hanna quotes the famous medical adage "When one hears hoofbeats, look for horses, not zebras", saying there's probably a very humdrum reason the blood was mixed in. The novel however is full of zebras, providing an explanation for the blood that's exceedingly dramatic, wherein one of the chief priests of the Inquisition in Venice is secretly a Jew snatched from his parents as a child and adopted into a Catholic monastery. As memories from his early childhood assault him after viewing the Haggadah, he writes in the book the words to save the book from burning and his name as a way to enforce his Catholic identity against his mental anguish. The glass cup he's holding shatters in his grip and pricks his thumb, which bleeds onto the same page some Kosher wine was spilled onto minutes earlier, not during a Seder feast as is most likely and realistic, but as the local Rabbi of Venice was plying the priest with wine in an effort to bribe him into saving the Haggadah, as the priest is a sot.

The novel is filled with colorful characters and extraordinary happenings, including a young, respected Viennese museum staff member who dresses like a punk at work, and a 17th-century rabbi addicted to gambling—even the protagonist is the daughter of a world-famous neurosurgeon, with whom she has a fraught relationship—and exceedingly few ordinary people or ordinary explanations for any of the fictional clues found in the Haggadah by book conservator Hanna. The novel also ends with the real Haggadah being swapped with a perfect copy, and the forgery is put on display for six years in Sarajevo due to the machinations of two characters, who fear for the real Haggadah's safety. Only Hanna sees the fake for what it is, and she leaves her profession humiliated and full of self-doubt. Eventually the true Haggadah is put back in its rightful place with a bit of spy-work and a helpful ally.

The book is exceedingly dramatic to the point of being unrealistic, and not intellectual or intricate in the least, and the ending is terribly cliché. The book was a major disappointment. I don't recommend reading it.

I think I got a couple of (like 5 or 7?) pages of super recent doodles to show. I was doodling for, like, 5 hours straight earlier today. I was in the zone. Auto Zone 😆 I think there's also a few individuals. Aw, I'm so eager to show a bunch of stuff all at once. Of course, that'll burn me out 😅 *idea* How well does the S23 phone do with long videos 🤔 (I'll look that up later). Anyway, let's talk about the doodles here :) Everyone's favorite OC, Dratica. There are superb differences in the many reds I use for him. When I saw this page in b+w, the 1st Dratica's colors stood out whereas the 2nd one's colors were too muddled(?), similar(?), not enough contrast :P i do remember those colors were from the Zebra Sarasa Prefill NJK multi pen colors. Having lots of reds + light blues, + constantly using them to find the "right" ones is always an undertaking :P Next! Kedzie. Had the right idea for the approach + colors, but something along the way felt badly/poorly(?) execute on the face. I do admire the use of (dark) red lineart from time to time :) Shikago! :D It's quite a bit bishie than his usual self, I admit 😅 I've been favoring some colored linearts. Like how I use the light green on Dratica sometimes :) I wanted to do the same for Shikago X) Morei Sky was a bit of a weird one 😅 I had the idea of what she'd be like between her human + main form. Transformation 👐 I like adding more things to their default outfits :) Mostly wanted to use (dark) red with the lineart. Ooo! Trance was my favorite one from this page XD I took another stab at using shiny watercolor... on the back side of the page. Yeah sure, it bled thru, but that's ok bcuz I didn't like the red color I used on the previous page. Same situation towards the outfit: adding more things to their default outfit. I'm so totally blanking out on what colors I used 😩 Overall, I just like how shiny + colorful this doodle was. It's satisfying 😌 I wanna upload a few more for now as I listen to Trance music in the bg. Yep! #doodlenotebookpages ... #lpfocdratica #lpfocmoreisky #lpfockedzie #lpfocshikago #lpfoctrance https://www.instagram.com/p/CpbO9_HMpt3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You know sometimes... you do the most self-indulgent shit in the world? You know sometimes - you go "oh it's time for drawing practice" and then spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME drawing characters from the magnus archives in your own ridiculous wardrobe?

19- Elias wearing a pink & multicolor eyeball-patterned robe, pink velvet shorts, and a white t-shirt with some Tom of Finland art on it (look up 'hot and heavy'). The text next to him reads "Lord forgive me for I have sinned" and "fuckboy"

20- Elias again, almost naked but wearing a leather full-body harness that has little tiny patches of fur tufting off of his nipples, as well as a big puffy patch of fur as a merkin. He's making direct eye contact with you, dear reader. He has a pair of condoms under his hand and the text next to him reads "I got a Magnus condom for my monster dong" and "fuck MAN" (and "psst this is the only outfit I don't own")

Hey I'm really sorry

4, 10, 16!! 🦭

4. favorite thing to draw

faces...like squishy round faces. and this bunny and this cat, over and over

10. how many different sketches do you usually have until your piece is finished

one :P i usually just clean up the sketch a little or go right to coloring. i like it to be a little messy and if i want to fix something i’ll just redraw it <- bearer of the curse

on paper i do a pencil sketch and then line with pen, or sometimes just start with pen. the only time i do multiple sketches is if it's a thumbnail for composition like a big scene or a comic page

16. favorite media to work with when drawing traditionally

i looovee brush pens like the zebra brush pens they are my favorite!!! for color i like colored pencils and alcohol markers. if i'm just doodling then my favorite is blue gel pen & highlighters. i also draw with whatever is by me a lot of the time

Colorless purple quartz

Also known as Conite, Cornish Diamond, Konilite, Lake Country Diamonds, Lemurian Seed Crystal, Lodilite (wine), Low Quartz, Mexican Diamond, Pacific Cat’s Eye, Beta-Quartz, High Quartz.

Quartz can be as abrasive as sandpaper or as delicate as glass. It is considered the birthstone for those born in April. It has been the Arkansas State emblem since 1967. Traditionally, the Japanese asserted that quartz signified purity and infinite space, while ancient North American and Burmese cultures considered the stone to be a living being, holding rituals for it and providing it with food.

Quartz belongs to the trigonal Crystal system.

Peacock: known to be the epitome of beauty, this graceful power animal offers lessons about self love, honor, integrity, and the importance of facing life’s challenges as well as the unknown with courage and confidence.

When the peacock struts gracefully into your life you may be entering a time of rebirth.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crossover between Jurassic Park and The Lion King done before. At least not seriously (as seriously as you can make something like that I suppose). So this idea for a scene popped into my head a while ago and after developing it, I finally wrote it and had a commission made. The art here isn’t mine, but made by the outstandingly talented Genocide Knight, who’s link I’ll add here. A few ideas presented here I also got from the head canon of Kaze-Blue involving Kula and Malka.

He has my eternal thanks for making this beautiful cover, and I hope that it enhances the story you’re about to read.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~IT IS TIME~

Nala stomped her way back across the log that just a few moments before, was where she and Simba were taking a walk through this beautiful oasis, only to argue about his return to the Pridelands. She needed time to herself to think on what to do next. This wasn’t the Simba she remembered years ago when she was a cub, the Simba who wouldn’t ever stop going on about how he was going to be king one day. All the things he’d do. Now he was a shell of that. But why?

She shook her head as she walked through the dense jungle, her stressed thoughts wandering through her head. Whatever was happening with Simba, she had to get him to confront Scar. Who else would? Malka was driven out, her closest friends like Kula and Tama were either extremely pregnant, starving, or had left to find help as well, and Sarabi was too accepting of Scar’s rule. The sand colored lioness felt ready to have another headache, and mostly because of her hunger. Maybe a drink would help cool her nerves, maybe help her to talk to Simba again later and get him out of this funk.

The crystalline water of the large pond she and Simba drank at earlier stood still as Nala walked out of the bushes towards the water’s edge. She breathed in a breath of humid air, enchanted by the amount of trees around her. Once there, the lioness peaked down at her reflection and pressed herself down on her belly, lapping up the cool waters. It brought an unfriendly reminder of her childhood. How happy she was to hang around water like this with Simba and Kula, the latter of whom had turned from their chubby, bubbly zebra eater, to being gaunt, pregnant with scar’s cubs, and depressed. Her eyes clamped shut as she lifted herself up and whispered.

“I hope I made the right choice leaving you all…”

Nala’s troubled thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of what she could describe as a loud hooting noise that a bird would make. She assumed it was such as she turned her head back. That’s when she saw the bushes where she was coming from just before move. There was something in the jungle with her. Something bigger than just some squirrel or hare. Nala adopted a perplexed look and stepped forward.

“Simba? Is that you?…”

There wasn’t an answer, but the hooting sound was heard again in front of her. This wasn’t from above like she had thought. The hooting sound was coming from directly in front of her. She furrowed her brow as her voiced called out again, trying to sound intimidating to mask her instinctive nervousness.

“Timon?? Pumbaa?? This had better not be a prank like last time with the spider. I’ll rethink not eating you, warthog.”

A moment passed without another word from the figure in the bushes. That was until Nala took another step forward. That finally roused a response from what was hiding. Something big rose up and stepped out of the bushes in front of Nala. Something she’d never seen before. It was covered in an intriguing pattern of green, bumpy scales like the tiny lizards she ate in the pridelands to keep herself and the others from starving. This lizard was not tiny however. It stood slightly taller than her and moved its long neck, head, and it’s legs like a bird would, bobbing its head and bending its neck like a crane. The head of the creature was adorned with a double pronged crest, almost resembling a crown that was reddish compared to the rest of its body. It looked at her with a pair of beady yellow eyes, which also resembled the eyes of a bird. A bird of prey to be exact.

The creature approached her slowly, walking on its two bipedal legs and letting out a soft hooting cry as it made its way around her. Nala could only watch it in awe as she backed up to the edge of the clearing. She witnessed the thing bend over and lower its crested head to the water she was drinking. When she felt it safe, Nala cleared her throat.

”H-hello? Who are you? What are you?”

Once again, the creature didn’t reply, only lifting its head and bending its neck back to stare at her with a blank expression. Nala sighed, figuring that this was either a mute, or something that just simply didn’t understand how to speak. Nala turned her back to the creature and called out with her voice once more.

“Simba?? Timon?? Pumbaa?? You’ve got to come see this! I’ve found something! Or rather something found me…”

As soon as she said this, she heard the hooting again. Right behind her. Nala’s ears raised before she looked back to see the scaly creature standing in front of her, it’s yellow eyes looking into her own teal ones. It blinked once and chirped. Nala didn’t say anything else, waiting for it to make a move, almost not hearing the soft rattling down coming from it. When she did hear the rattling noise, it was far too late. A wide, bright and colorful frill spread out from the creature’s neck, shaking around and catching her attention. Nala’s eyes widened and her mouth gaped at the display before this strange animal screamed a raspy hiss at her. She took a step back from the startling sound before after another scream, a black sludge shot out from its mouth. A glob of it hit her in the face, on her nose. It smelled nasty, making her gag and stagger back. She looked back up and it screamed again. Another glob of black goo was shot at her, but Nala saw it coming and moved her head, making it hit the trunk of a tree.

This creature was no friend, Nala now knew. It stepped towards her with its pronated arms now reaching with sharp claws like her own, it’s frill deflating into its neck. Nala snarled and bared her fangs, jumping at the creature and swiping with her claws. It used its powerful legs to jump over her before Nala lunged forward to tackle it, making her miss the mark. The spitting creature unleashed its frill and hissed as Nala turned on a dime and ran over to fight more. They were in a stand off. The creature used its frighteningly bright frill too threaten another spit attack and Nala stood her ground, not backing down from this fight. Her instincts were guiding her now.

The creature made the next move, spitting another glob that Nala was quick to sidestep and launch herself at the beast, pouncing on it and sinking her claws into it as both animals landed on a deep slope. Nala gasped as she and the Spitter rolled down together in much the same fashion she and Simba did an hour before. But now she was trading claw swipes with a scaly monster that wanted her dead. Nala landed atop the creature and roared down at it. It didn’t look intimidated as its neck twisted up and its jaws snapped at Nala with needle like teeth. She moved her head back, causing her weight to shift just enough for the beast below to rise up and throw her off.

The wind was knocked out of her as she landed on her back in a bad spot. Looking forward, she saw the spitter get up and look at her, it’s yellow eyes narrowing in malice before it roared at her, flashing its frill triumphantly, then running towards Nala with its claws out. Nala got her senses back at just the right moment. As the creature was about to land atop her with its disemboweling foot claws, she lifted her back paws and pushed up with all her might, lifting the beast over her and making it slam into the tree behind her. She rolled onto her paws as it fell in her spot, landing on its side.

Nala wasted no time as she pounced again as it tried to stagger to its feet. Remembering her hunting, she pinned it down and after moving her head to dodge a few snaps of its teeth, she exploited an opened and wrapped her jaws around the base of its head where the neck net. She bit down hard and while still holding her weight over the struggling animal, she forced its head down and didn’t let go. She breathed deeply and her muscles ached fiercely as holding it down was no easy feat. However, after what felt like hours, the beast she had fought tooth and claw to survive against succumbed to her experience as a hunter, and her sharper teeth.

Once she was sure it stopped moving, Nala sat up and let out a huge few breaths as the limp animal laid motionless before her, mouth gaping and eyes wide. Nala moved her paw over and closed its eyelid, not wanting to see it staring at her again. The lioness took a moment to examine her bounty. This beast was truly like nothing she’d seen before. A perfect blend of bird and reptile, almost like they were one in the same. Her fascination ended when a deep gurgle roared from her belly. She glanced down to it and made a puzzled sound. She looked back at the dead spitter and remembered. She hasn’t eaten anything substantial in weeks, and Pumbaa was off the menu. Nala licked her lips and smiled. Maybe something nice did come from this encounter…

Hi Nin! I know this might be weird of me to ask because you are an artist yourself, but I am rather new here and was wondering if you have any other artists you'd recommend? If not that is ok!

Hi there, not weird at all! I LOVE supporting fellow artists, I find their wonderful talent and dedication incredibly inspiring, seeing their beautiful works on my feed constantly reminds me to take a step back from my exhaustion and to simply remember why I love to draw to begin with: because it’s fun.

I’m usually really picky about artists I follow and their style, but when I find the ones that I enjoy, I go ALL OUT with my support. So without further ado, the following artists listed are those I am not only in love with, but those who I genuinely look up to. 

So make sure you stop by their page to show them some love and appreciation for their hard work (because hard work extends beyond the individual pieces they’ve made, it’s also for the countless hours they’ve spent on practicing and perfecting their craft, constantly challenging themselves to learn new techniques). 💛

👇🏼👇🏼 Nin’s Artist Recommendation👇🏼👇🏼

---------------------

@aku-jumbi - HQ!!, Various, You all had seen me share a BUNCH of their works on my blog, but it’s just because their art is so SOOOOOOOOO good. Your style leans toward photorealism, while still maintaining its painting-like quality, so if you had ever wondered how your favorite characters may look like irl, they’ve got you!!! Watching your speed painting is so fascinating, idk how you do it, but you’re always killing it every time (Like our process is so different, so it was really interesting to see how you approach your works you know?). This piece of Kei Tsukishima and Oikawa Tooru are two of my favorite works you’ve done!

@achieve-the-sun - HQ!!, Various, Let me start off by saying that I love Morghy’s art so much, that they are the first and only person I had ever commissioned from so far. They drew Keishin and I sooo adorably, it brings me so much joy to look at it on the daily. Your style reminds me of freshly baked cookies, or the warmth of bakeries, I can’t help but feel a sense of coziness whenever I look at your adorable artworks. This piece you did of Kageyama and Hinata was what had drawn me to you. Everything from your color choices, fluid gestures, and expressions are such a delight to look at!

@chaotickatts - HQ!! I am so in love with Katts, you all. I had never seen anyone draw like this, her style is really unique. I can go on forever about why I love your art, but one of the biggest things that drew me to your style is the way you draw bodies. I like the variation and realistic details you include, for instance, I absolutely adore the way you gave Sakusa more moles on his body, and the way you drew dad bod Osamu. Idk, I think there’s so many different types of body shapes and details out there, and it brings me joy to see you being so inclusive of them in your art.

@namusw - Hunter x Hunter. Was drawn to their Hunter x Hunter works and I don’t even watch/read that manga. Honestly, just check them out, I love everything about their works, they are also a killer at both traditional and digital styles. This piece of Hisoka, Illumi, and Chrollo was the one that made me fall in love.

@cranbearly - HQ!! I really adore the way they draw expressions and their coloring style (inspired me to attempt some flat coloring). This piece of Oikawa and Iwa made me follow them instantly. Expressions are so difficult to nail, and you’ve done such an amazing job conveying every emotion the characters are feeling, I’ve learned so much just from looking at your works, so thank you for blessing us with your craft.

@a-zebra-was-here - HQ!! Their art has a very carefree type of vibe and their coloring style brings me so much joy. I’ve really enjoyed your drawings of the Miyas’, this piece of the twin was what got me, and this other piece, the first image of young Miyas’ was so SO well done, I am in love with the way you colored that. 😻 

@erionmakuo - Various, dude....I want to cry, I don’t even know what to say, EVERY SINGLE PIECE of your artworks just BLOWS ME AWAY. The way you color your art is just so ethereal, the color schemes you had chosen, the way you mix the color of your lighting, textures, and everything in general, I can go on about this all day but just hop on to their blog and you will know exactly what I mean. I don’t have a particular piece that drew me in because I was blessed by all your works at once.

@uranarino - HQ!!, Your artworks bring me so much joy. If I have to describe your style like an experience in life, I would say it reminds me of how it’s like to fall in love with someone for the first time, if that makes sense. That sudden overwhelming feeling you get when you’re doing the most mundane things with someone you care about, only for time to stop as you realize how in love you are with them? Yea, your art captures that really well. These two pieces of Kuroo returning home with his groceries and of him taking a day nap with his cats was what had drawn me to you.

@queenoftheantz - HQ!!, Various, Their style is really unique, it kind of reminds me of an adventurous graphic novel or something you would see on Cartoon Network (idk, I thought of Chowder, but please, I really mean it as a compliment, I just really love the fun cartoon style you have.) They also do some animations! I really love this piece of Kyotani you did, the landscape and colors look SOO GOOD!!

@noodlemanjpg - HQ!!, Various, love LOVE your style and the way you draw expressions. I also really love how you color, your works “appear” effortless, but I know a lot of knowledge and precision is put into crafting it. This piece of Kuroo x Yaku being all cozy at the couch was what had drawn me to your blog, it makes me smile every time I look at it. Kuroo’s smitten expression is just...ahsdl;adjs I can’t help but smile with him.

@diabolism666 - HQ!!, c’mon, you can’t be in the HQ!! fandom without at least seeing one of their artworks. In fact, I had seen your art even before I’ve gotten into this show, and it was love at first sight, lemme tell ya. EVERY. SINGLE. THING. you had drawn are so good, it doesn’t even matter if it’s a more simplistic drawing or elaborate one, I am just always staring at it in awe. Thank you for being so incredibly active about it too, idk how, but you’ve produced so many amazing drawings and we’re just incredibly grateful for it. You draw some of best Tendou, Reon and Toshi out there. Your works have so much range, I really feel like you can draw ANYTHING hahaha.

@viria​ - Various, Viria *sobs* your works are so good. The way you draw faces and affection just gives me butterflies. I don’t even watch Fullmetal Alchemist, but this piece you did of Edward and Winry made me fall so deeply in love with your works. Your style has a certain softness to it, even when it is of an angry character, and I love it.

@nipuni​ - Various, another artist that I am incredibly nervous to tag because your works are just out of the world. You also seem so so nice and is always incredibly helpful whenever anyone sends you an ask. Just...I have the biggest crush on you and your works. EVERYTHING you had drawn is so stunning, and I mean it. The details, pose, composition, and coloring, it is just so perfect, I could pull up particular artworks, but I was really blessed by it all at once. If you are into fantasy-esque realistic looking portraits, check her out, she exudes so much knowledge and talent.

@hinamihere - HQ!!, Your artworks are soo stinkin adorable. Your color choices, expressions and the way you draw hair is just so cute, your art always bring the biggest smile to my face. This piece you did of Akaashi and Bokuto was what drew me to you, when I saw it, I “awhhh”ed so loudly, my hubby had to ask me what’s up, and when I showed it to him, he had the same reaction, even if he’d never seen Haikyuu!!

@oxxuri - BNHA, so SO good, the way you color, light, and draw is so beautiful. Every single detail, down to every lashes and strands of hair is so beautiful. You draw some of the most attractive faces I had ever seen, these drawings of Aizawa and Midoriya brings me so SOOOO much joy, and I don’t even know anything about BNHA.

@amezure - HQ!!, their comic strips always make my day, I was giving their blog a peep so I can pull up specific examples and my statement is instantly confirmed when I stumbled across their newest comic art of Kuroo and Bokuto and started laughing HAHA. 😂 Your self study sheets are incredibly informative and I find myself referencing them often, it’s so nice to see my favorite artists continue to polish their craft through endless amounts of studying, practice, and analysis. It serves as a constant reminder for myself to do the same. I love the way you draw people (check out this piece of Bokuto x Akaashi), but I ESPECIALLY love the way you draw animals. (Specifically anything that has to do with lil owl Bo and Akaashi 🥺)

@obobro - Avatar the Last Airbender, HQ!!, I am absolutely in love with the way you color and draw portraits. Your drawing and detailing has so much range; you have a series of hand drawings, and that alone already displays so SO much range. I was really drawn in by this drawing of Tsukki, Zuka + Azula, and of Sokka + Katara, you can really tell they were related and I love it so much. Your art has so much life to it, it’s truly fascinating. 

---------------------

I have a couple more artists to recommend, so if you’d like a part 2 to this, please lmk.

But yes, I genuinely stand by my recommendations, these guys are so SO good at what they do and I am currently sweating because the thought of tagging all my artist crushes in one post is actually kinda scary lol.

Hope this helps! ✌️

This is out of the blue, but I originally saw @dat-silvers-girl 's Fluff alphabet and @ariparri 's. So I wanted to do it!

Fluff Alphabet for Merula and Penelope

A - Attractive (What do they find attractive about each other?)

Penelope loves Merula's eyes. She once showed Penelope the real color (a pretty, dark hazel), and she thinks about it constantly. Penelope also finds power attractive, so you know she likes watching Merula show off, as cocky as she can be about it.

Merula really likes Penelope's scars. She can't help it. She also likes the Penelope's sort of lopsided smile, and she learns that it's a family trait. Merula is also drawn to Penelope's confidence, so they have that in common.

B - Baby (Do they want a family? Why/why not?)

Both are very reluctant to have children. Neither of them had great parental role models, and their relationship takes a long time to stabilize. But once they're 100% secure in themselves, and each other, they're open to having children... At least, that was the plan. Their daughter Quinn comes into the picture sooner than expected (immediately after the Battle of Hogwarts), but she definitely won them over upon the first meeting.

C - Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

Penelope will usually be lounging when Merula initiates it; by plopping herself on top of Penelope and resting her face in her chest or the crook of her neck. Penelope will simply wrap her arms around Merula and kiss her head. As for sleeping, they prefer their distance (Penelope is a human heater).

D - Dates (What are dates with them?)

Dates at Hogwarts were... Event dates. They didn't do much in the way of dating besides those special occasions, unless you count practice duels. But after Hogwarts, they usually go out for drinks, or Penelope will cook for them for a date night in.

E - Everything (“You are my __”)

Merula: You are my light.

Penelope: You are my heart.

F - Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

Penelope knew she had a crush after dancing with her at the Celestial Ball. She knew it was love when she saw how torn up Merula was about their first date being a disaster. It made her heart swell and she knew she was in trouble.

Merula knew she had feelings for Penelope after she let Merula have the Frog Choir spot in 3rd Year. She thought it was a trick or something at first. But Penelope gave her such a warm smile. She knew it was love when Penelope held onto her so protectively in the Great Hall, immediately after the Buried Vault. And honestly, she hated it.

G - Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Penelope is gentle in her affection, but not so much in her words and demeanor when she doesn't need to be. That's partly because Merula doesn't really need coddling. Merula has her moments of being gentle, but she's usually as bold as she is in game.

H - Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

They don't really hold hands? Penelope does commonly brush her fingers against the back of Merula's hand as a subtle comfort. But they're not really hand holders.

I - Impressions (what was their first impression?)

"What a mean person!"

"What an insufferable twit!"

J - Jealousy (do they get jealous?)

Merula does during their time at Hogwarts. A lot. That's just because she was insecure and their relationship was never solid. After Hogwarts, when they finally got together, it was usually Penelope who got jealous. Merula had her glow up and became a badass Curse-Breaker. Other Curse-Breakers flirted with her pretty often.

K - Kiss (how do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

Penelope likes giving Merula little kisses everywhere. Peck on the cheek, her nose, her forehead, her hand, her ear, everywhere. Merula prefers occasional, but meaningful kisses. When she kisses Penelope, she makes sure to leave her breathless.

As for the first kiss, it was a quick, stolen one. Merula had said something snarky during a Curse-breaker meeting in 5th Year. Once Rakepick dismissed them, Penelope leaned down kissed Merula on the lips before running out the room laughing, leaving Merula red in the face. She got an earful for that later.

L - Love (who says “I love you” first?)

Penelope says it first, during a fight in 6th Year.

"I love you, Merula. I hate fighting with you. 😞"

M - Memory (what’s their favourite memory together?)

One of their favorites is definitely stargazing after their first date.

N - Nickel (do they spoil one another? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Penelope spoils Merula, despite Merula being the one with a lot of money. She knows receiving gifts makes her feel good, so she gives.

O - Orange (what colour reminds them of their other half?)

Magenta reminds Penelope of Merula, because of her eyes. Yellow reminds Merula of Penelope, because.... Hufflepuff.

P - Pet names (what pet names do they use?)

Penelope: Love, Mi Corazon, Babe, Dear

Merula: Does bitch count?

Q - Quaint (what is their favourite non-modern thing?)

They both enjoy reading. Usually together, on opposite ends of the sofa.

R - Rainy day (what do they like to do on a rainy day?)

They both like staying in and read, like I said before. Penelope will sometimes build a pillow fort, and Merula will roll her eyes but subsequently join her in the fort. And after Quinn comes into the picture, forts are much more common.

S - Sad (how do they cheer each other up?)

Penelope will usually make Merula something something sweet to eat or drink, then give her space. If Merula wants cuddles, she'll come to her, otherwise, Merula might get snappy.

Merula knows that cuddles help Penelope. She's touch starved. So she'll hug her and kiss her without needing an invitation.

T - Talking (what do they like to talk about?)

They'll usually talk about work, or about Quinn. Sometimes, Merula will find something to argue about to spice things up.

"I just think Rita sometimes has some good things to say."

"Are you out of your mind?"

U - Unencumbered (what helps them relax?)

Merula: Pillows, Coloring pages, coffee

Penelope: What is relaxation? Idk, I guess alcohol. And blankets.

V - Vaunt (what do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

Merula likes flaunting her wedding ring tbh. And Penelope likes showing off her family.

W - Wedding (when, how, where did they propose?)

I have barely thought the proposal and wedding. I imagine Penelope would be planning to propose, but Merula found out somehow and beat her to the punch.

"I win."

X - Xylophone (what’s their song?)

Somebody to Love by Queen. That's the only one I can think of.

Y - Yes (do they think about marrying/proposing?)

The future of their relationship was always in question during their time at Hogwarts. Neither of them even considered marriage until a couple years after they graduated.

Z - Zebra (if they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Merula always wanted a Crup, so they get a Crup! Although Penelope is partial to rats and would still get another one at some point. They did get one for their daughter.

Life and It’s Infinite Possibilities

Part 5

Summary: Oliver and reader are dating, they meet at a book store.

His stool creaked and he was working on his new project, when he felt a light tapping on his shoulder. Glancing, there was no one there but he catching a whiff of your perfume; he smiled. Seeing Arthur, he had sat up in his doggie bed and his tail was happily wagging. He turned suddenly and caught you as you tried to tap his shoulder again.

Both of you erupting into giggles. “I caught you!” You both a share a very brief hug, sighing you parted. You both were very aware of where you were, last night the two of you decided to keep things quiet. Neither of you want it to get awkward.

“We should meet up later.” He whispered to you.

“Yes! Where?” Glancing, around he grabbed your hand. You interlaced your fingers. Your eyes were warm and a lit with the idea.

“Let’s meet at, Writer’s Block.”

“Oh, is that the bookstore you mentioned?”

He nodded. “I’ll text you the directions later.”

“Ok, great.”

“So yes,” He let go of your hand. “Do not be afraid of making multiple drafts. Sometimes, you go through several before you hit your groove.” He suggested becoming formal.

“Ahh, so you just work and work until you find something you like?”

“Yes. Exactly.”

“Oh, there you are.” She smiled at you. “Hello, Oliver.” Janice, the head of office negotiations came into the studio.

“Hello. This Dancing Zebras project is coming along.”

“Good, good.”

“I was just encouraging her to not worry about all the sketches she is bound to make.”

Janice nodded. “He’s right. He’s our master.” She smiled.

Oliver flushed. “I just work as hard as everyone.”

“Y/N don’t let him kid you, he out this firm on the map.”

Oliver, rolled his eyes and smiled.

The guys are downstairs, ready to show you the printing process. They have the colors lined up.”

“Wonderful. I’m excited.” You smiled at him. “Nice chatting with you, Oliver.”

“Likewise.” And soon he started a new sketch.

A few hours, later when Oliver was certain no one was around, he messaged you.

His Sweetness: I wish I could have kissed you.

You: You still could. I could sneak over and see you.

His Sweetness: Do you dare?

He turned in time, you to run in he put a quick arm around you and you shared a very quick but soft kiss, before you ran off again.

You: That was fun.

His sweetness: Yes, it is. Now, as for writer’s block its three blocks down from here for four down on 24 Laredo Dr.

You: See you, then. 💞

His Sweetness: yes, 💘

*****

At one point he got up to grab a cup of coffee, while it was brewing, he leaned in the doorway. As he did, he watched as you focused on whatever you were drawing. For a moment, you looked up and tucked some hair behind your ear. You both shared a brief smile.

*****

When he left to meet you at Writer’s Block, he was happy to see your car was gone. It did not take terribly long to get to the bookStore. The weather was lovely today, the sun was out with only the random puffy cloud.

Arriving there, he put Arthur back on his leash after cutting the engine. He stopped just in the door way and grabbed Arthur, one of the doggie treats they had out on a plate. He tucked it away for later.

Looking around, when he didn’t immediately see you, he started walking among the rows and rows books. Arthur happily walking along side him.

“There you are!” You happily exclaimed.

Ahhh, he called out in the instant of fear. But the two of you broke into giggles.

“So what do you think of this place?”

Your eyes grew wide. “This place is amazing.” You leaned in close looking from side to side. “I found a very fun book?”

“Oh?”

You held up two books, he glanced down at it. He chuckled and smirked. “Well, is quite the selections there. We should look them over.” He gestured to the small little seat in the corner.

“Yes, we should!”

Once they sat down, he sat down Oliver smiled at Arthur. “Ready for your treat Arthur?”

He smiled at you. “Would you like to give him a treat?”

You smiled, “I would love to.”

“It’s in my pocket.”

You leaned in close, and reaching around you put your hand in his pocket. He moved close as you looked up at him as reached across his lap. “The treat is in my other pocket.”

“Oh.” You moved just so and gave him a kiss. You both sighed into it.

He felt as you moved while you kissed and he smiled, “You are quite sneaky.”

You giggled. “I have my moments. Oo! Got it.” You turned to Arthur, “Would you like your treat sweet boy?”

Arthur, came over and looked up at her with a very happy expression on his face. “He really likes you.” He whispered in your ear.

“I hope so.” You beamed and then happily you gave it to him.

Arthur stretched out and began nibbling at the treat.

“What shall we look at first?”

“Let’s look at the destination book first.”

Leaning shoulder to shoulder, you looked at an array of brightly colored places people could travel to and see.

“I want to go there.” You pointed to foggy shot of London.

“Oh, that could be nice.” He pointed to a cafe in France.”

The two of you continued to look at so many different places. You the rested, your head on his should and placed a hand on his thigh, “Shall we look at the other book?”

A smirk curled his lips. “Certainly.”

You handed him the book, ‘Joy of Sex’ you both looked shyly at each other. A laughter bubbled from Oliver.

Looking at each other, together you opened the book. “Oh, now how about this?” You giggled and hid your face into his arm. He made, a soft questioning sound.

“Yes, that would be nice.” As you looked at Oliver, he saw that your cheeks were flushed. You peaked over, “Let’s see.” You flipped a few books. “Oh, here we go.” She looked at you with your eyebrows raised. “How about this?”

Oliver smirked, “I like that one. Let’s see...” and soon, he glanced through the next few pages. “Oh, these are nice ones, let’s try seventy-six through eighty-two.”

*****

The two of you were sitting in the corner of Provence, the new French cafe that had opened the down the street from Writer’s Block. Sitting, very close together. You had an incredibly, light dinner and now, it was time to share the dessert.

The waitress, soon placed the custard in front of the two of you. Your eyes, lit up. “This looks so good.” You whispered.

“It does.” He agreed, gently he picked up, one of the raspberries that laid on the surface of the custard. “Open my sweetness.”

*****

As he pulled you close, his hands slipped under soft blouse. You felt as soft as he had expected. Your lips had met and still were as sweet as the custard and strawberries the two of you had just shared. Oliver, was beginning to realize was that he was growing incredibly fond of the feel of you and your kisses.

Slowly as one, you both walked back to her bed. Giggling, when you walked up against her bed. Soon, breathless and wanting more crawled onto her bed.

“Oliver,” You finally managed to breath. “I want to feel more of you.” As he braced himself above you. He eased himself to be along side of you.

“Let me see more of you.” Oliver, pulled back and watched as you slipped from the cute blouse to reveal a cami that allowed him to see more of you.

He smoothed his hand over your soft, stomach as he pulled you to him. “You are lovely.” He whispered, meeting your lips he kissed you deeply once again.

He sighed against your lips when he felt your fingers entwine in his hair.

You both were startled when, someone came and rung her doorbell and banged on her door. Looking surprised, you looked at each other.

“Maybe they will go away.” You whispered.

He nodded. “Hopefully, with that kind of racket.”

Your eyes locked with his, you pulled him to you as your lips met once again.

Both of you jumped as whoever did the pounding in the door, and rung the doorbell, did it again. This time, even Arthur gave a short bark in response.

“I better tell whoever this is, to go away.” Your lips grazed his as you spoke.

“Ok.”

Opening your bedroom door you stopped and came back over and slipped back on your blouse. Nervously, you ran a few fingers through your hair.

“Oliver, I have to answer.” Your pressed your lips made a grimace. “My cousin who lives out here, I guess found out from my parents that I live here.”

“Oh.” Disappointment, crept into his stomach.
