HFW Glitched Photomode Spots 3

Some of these spots might already be known about but I figured I would make a easy to find list of some cool spots to take pictures. All these are doable/available in Patch 1.17. Underneath Far Zenith Base Part 1 Location: Left side underneath Far Zenith Base Instructions: Once you have access to the base (https://youtu.be/G6cJK2uj33w) you can go through a lot of walls. Note: Underneath the Far Zenith base is a mess but you can usually call your mounts to get around or out. If you follow the way I went you get stuck in water that flashes depending on which direction you face your camera (I cut that out). You can see a pair of stairs in the water through the wall.

Underneath Far Zenith Base Part 2 Location: Center underneath Far Zenith Base Instructions: Once you have access to the base (https://youtu.be/G6cJK2uj33w) you can go through a lot of walls. Note: Underneath the Far Zenith base is a mess but you can usually call your mounts to get around or out.

Underneath Far Zenith Base Part 3 Location: Right side underneath Far Zenith Base Instructions: Once you have access to the base (https://youtu.be/G6cJK2uj33w) you can go through a lot of walls.

Far Zenith Base Cave 1 Location: Right side of Far Zenith Base Instructions: Once you have access to the base (https://youtu.be/G6cJK2uj33w) you can fly in to the cave. Note: The water seems to glitch and trap you if you touch it so you need your Sunwing to fly close to get out.

Far Zenith Base Cave 2 Location: Left side of Far Zenith Base Instructions: Once you have access to the base (https://youtu.be/G6cJK2uj33w) you can fly in to the cave. Note: It seems like you can't get out once you are in.

fanfic writer questions

Thanks for the tag, @foibles-fables!

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

29!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

286,054!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Most frequently, Critical Role, though I still have a few WIPs in Horizon and Stray Gods that I absolutely intend to get back to eventually.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I'm fudging this question a bit, because the lower three are all the same series from back when I first started writing two years ago. Unsurprisingly, Sing for Me (SG, Rated E) and Prometheus Bound (HFW, Rated M) are the heavy hitters, followed by the Tilda POV series with a slightly more modest kudos count. After that comes Through Eyes of Grace (SG, Rated T) and Mutually Assured Destruction (HFW, Rated E).

5. Do you respond to comments?

I do! I think the only fic I didn't respond to most comments was When the Darkness Comes, since it was 30 chapters posted all at once. It somehow felt like skewing the stats (which I realize is silly; I'll likely respond to all comments on any on-going long-fics, after all). But yeah, I like to lavish love and gratitude and enthusiasm onto commenters, since they go out of their way to do the same for my stories~

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Prometheus Bound BY FAR.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably my entry for the Horizon Rare-Pair Round Up event: Radiance.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not to my face or in my fic comments. Or even out in the wild very much, to my knowledge.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yep! Enemies to enemies who FUC- I mean, lovers. A lot of focus on zoomed in physicality details and hard feelings from characters who would rather do anything than acknowledge their feelings (like idk hate fuck it out). I joke but I also have some softer smut for Stray Gods and my Moon Moms AU.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I never have!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Also not that I know of.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not yet, but my lovely friend @inomakani and I now have multiple fic ideas/drafts we like to scream at each other about, and we'll write them together as well, one day~

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

Do I even have to say it? I mean, I will happily shout it from the rooftops: IMOGEN/OTOHAN!

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Hmmm... There's an old draft called "Aloy is ticklish" that was a fluffy lil Aloy and the GAIA Gang+Talanah one-shot that I likely won't dust off ever again for no particular reason.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Succinct-ish but evocative setting description, I like to think. Internal feelings, and how they're expressed externally through small details in body language. And Tension, of course.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue; "would they say that??" is a recurring question for me.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I would do so if needed for characterization purposes!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Horizon! Specifically, Horizon Forbidden West!

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Oh wow that's a hard one... Since I'm in the midst of plotting (and now writing!) its sequel, I'll say Let Me Lay Waste to Thee. It's my first (well, thee first) Imogen/Otohan fic that kicked off my love for this beautifully fucked up ship :3

It's a free for all tag, folks! So feel free to snag and tag me~

#fun tag games are fun

6, 10, 19

Thanks for the ask! Sorry I took so long, nonny...

6. Is there a specific ship?

I am still anxious about how it will be received, but I am writing about Avad and a Banuk shaman coming together to unite their people during the events of HFW. There are new machines flooding into the Sundom and Meridian is still recovering from the Battle of the Alight, and the Red Blight which is causing famine in the Cut and Ban-Ur. Anyhow, it turns from a strictly strategic relationship to friendship and then to lovers and I reeeaaaaally hope it works 😱

10. If unpublished, can you show a sneak peek of what you've written?

The hushed sway of fabric alerted him to another's presence. Marad stood with his hands behind his back. "The Banuk have arrived at Barren Light."

"Good." Avad returned his attention to the village below the mesa, sinking into the shadows under the dying light of the sun. "Did you find out what I asked?"

Marad handed him a bound codex of parchment. "He is indeed planning to acquire the estate. Along with a few others." Those of lesser nobles, merchants, and outlanders—ones whose means the war affected most, the document pointed out. "Even so, this isn't enough evidence to condemn him."

"Then, you would have me wait around until he hurts more of my subjects?"

"Your Luminance, should you cast him out of the court without evidence, he has the backing of the Minister of the Radiant Treasury along with the top merchants of Meridian. Now, they wouldn't dare oppose you directly, but the economy is in peril as it is."

Avad sighed. The 13th Sun-King had allowed these weeds to overtake the land and block out the righteous light of the Sun. Should he feed them any more power, they would deplete the Sundom of what little peace and prosperity it had. He rolled his shoulders back and turned toward his chief advisor.

The warm golden light of a torch from a corridor behind Marad caught on the silhouettes of Uthid and Vanasha. Her hands were in his hair, his around her waist in an embrace of blazing passion that caught like sunburn on Avad's cheeks. He averted his gaze. How he would have loved to live that with Ersa, to be carefree in their love, basking in its heat regardless of whether the rest of the world burned around him.

"The nobles are drunk enough on their power." Avad turned to face his people below again. They deserved better to be caught in the path of his carelessness.

"I take it that is a no on Daradi, then?"

"What do you think?" Avad winced at the harshness of his tone. "No… No more noblewomen."

Marad's footsteps paced behind him. "Very well. I am sure there are many daughters of Sun-Priests and merchants who would be more than happy to sit at your side."

"And create a monopoly over the markets? Absolutely not."

If Ersa were still alive, would the people have considered her achievements and accepted her as his wife today? Could he and Ersa have had a happy ending? Would she have gone with him after Itamen succeeded him? Sometimes he regretted not burying Dervahl in the sand up to his neck and filling his mouth with salt, giving himself and Erend the pleasure of watching his sanity evaporate with the desert heat.

Thoughts like these made Avad think that perhaps he was a bit like his father, after all.

"Military families," Avad said. "The Lodge, as well. Look there."

"Already in progress."

"Ha. I should have known."

"Does your Luminance have any specifications?"

"Does it matter? It is a temporary façade." Love had nothing to do with any of this. It never would. "Anyone competent will do."

There was something bone-chilling in the way Marad said, "As you wish." But when Avad couldn't figure out what it was, he brushed it off. He was too tired, anyway.

19. Is there a scene that you feel is really planned out/going to be really planned out?

Yes! There will be a couple of non-romantic betrayals by close friends and associates alike, but I am particularly looking forward to writing out how the traditionalist Carja nobles will exert their influence to try and thwart Avad's vision of progress, without defying him outright.

#mail time!#writing shenanigans #ship stuff

that hzd/hfw feel of wanting to know all the things and watch people play the game whenever I'm taking a break from playing myself but also the need to not get spoilered too terribly (already failed quite badly at that but doing my best to try and not think about what I know)

the need to get on with the main quest but also the need to do side quests but also the need to just roam and see where my feet take me (usually to places I'll return to later for quests, like with that place where we picked up Beta. I know I was there bc it was already uncovered on my map before I got there) and also the need to clear up every rebel outpost I come across

#lou plays hfw #Horizon Forbidden West #it's funny bc rebel camps used to be my least favourite thing to do due to all the fighting of human enemies #but turns out that sniping is fun as is Silent Strike and it's still very doable even without the Lure Call #turns out I actually enjoy the game when it doesn't glitch out on me.. wish it would do that less tbh. it's so frustrating at this point #having to reenter an area just to reload a boss machine is fucking annoying. getting dropped out of bounds during tense scenes..#fucking hell it sucked. please.. only funny glitches. like the Base one

hey foibs, I was just wondering which convos in HFW made you feel socked in the head with potential het (ew lol) romance for Aloy? I know I was shook to my core when Avad was coming on to her as usual and she didn't completely shoot him down..:// but what else? i don't mind spoilers lmao I'd rather know and be emotionally ready.

On another note, with how much more prominent and uhhhh eligible male npcs seem to be, my biggest fear deadass is that there will only be straight romance in Horizon 3. one fear meme

Hey hey, yes of course! First off, I wanna go back and clarify that my "like being socked in the head" description in that last post was not about the characters making the comments, but about the obviousness of the comments themselves to the player. Same goes for much of the HFW writing in general, lmao. In any case, I could have worded that a lot better in the moment--I'd hate for anyone to think it was a negative evaluation by way of the former interpretation. I don't do that stuff around here (nor at all)!

You nailed it: first interaction there was the Avad one. Both the brain and heart selections contain a "maybe later, Player" that the dialogue doesn't even attempt to mask. Problematic in other ways, given that it's the only time we speak to him in-game and it kinda...reneges on his development in HZD, but alas, compelling evidence for a Horizon Zero Three choice mechanic nonetheless.

The second is Erend, predominantly by way of the little bonus scene you can share with him before the final mission. Another example of how the Player can choose to get closer to a certain ally. No real spoilers! It's really a nice little scene. I actually have a...whole tinfoil theory about the strangeness of Another Certain Questline's ending that hinges on the inclusion of "have a drink" at the Base. But maybe THAT'S a post for another time, hahaha.

If there is romance in HZ3, the above certainly implies that it would be a fully-optional player choice mechanic, and not a narrative-bound arc. The fact that it seems like they're trying to go all-out Bioware backs this idea as well. Also, I highly doubt the only options will be M/F. If nothing else, Tilda and Elisabet's relationship confirms that potential--and if that happens, and is addressed explicitly within HZ3 as a function of multiple choices both M/F and F/F and other identities, I will welcome optional BiLoy with enthusiastically open arms. The arcs of certain women [StrainingKid.jpg] do leave them very much open for romance. I still have major criticisms about how HFW treated its female side characters, both new and returning. But thinking optimistically, it's something that could still be corrected come HZ3.

#or maybe i am insane!#it could be both #in any case have a LOVELY day #horizon forbidden west #hfw #aloy can smooch a little as a treat

PDL Week 4 Recap

This is the final week before the first bye week and teams are giving it all they have got before a well deserved week of rest.

DEP vs. BAL: 2-0

NWN vs. AUK: 0-4

HEH vs. MIN: 0-3

VAV vs. DCC: 0-4

TOT vs. MIL: 0-3

BFS vs. MID: 0-3

COG vs. ITA: 6-0

SHS vs. LOL: 6-0

SLC vs. JAX: 3-0

NJJ vs. HFW: 0-5

BEN vs. PIP: 3-0

NYY vs. BLP: 3-0

This week the Corsola Cola Division played off against the Rhyhorn Steakhouse and lets just say that Corsola Cola can’t overpower the flavor form the Rhyhorn Steakhouse. With 5 out of the 6 games going in favor of the Rhyhorn Steakhouse division. The same outcome happened between the Green Tauros division and the Toxapepsi Division. The hooves from Green Tauros stopped the Merciless flavors of Toxapepsi in almost every match. The past 3 weeks have pinned division vs division and those matches overall were closer with the Rhyhorn Steakhouse coming out with the most wins of all the divisions thus far. Is this telling of how things will look for playoffs or is this just week 4 madness stretching across the conference. I guess we will find out soon enough.

I have to mention how impressed I am with how well teams are adapting to this format and improving already. A bunch of team got their first win, or made strides towards the top of the standings, with now only 3 teams left undefeated. What’s becoming more and more apparent is that the teams that do good prep usually come out on top. There is one match in particular that highlights how useful prep can be when your opponents don’t expect something. That would be the AUK vs NWN game. Sparky! Coached his team through a difficult match up and showed why he is a force to be reckoned with this season. (If you want to see Vileplume, tied for #3 on the MVP leaderboard, sweep a team I recommend checking out the HFW vs. NJJ game.)

AUK Side: DG6G-WWWW-WWWL-B2AY

NWN Side: AEJG-WWWW-WWWL-R29W

Pick’ems

These are becoming tougher and tougher to pick correctly with the majority of teams this week with only 7 correct. However no one got a perfect week so they do not get mentioned here. The reason for that is because of the 4 Pick ‘em upsets. Despite COG being 3-0 ,at the top of the standings and a previous UUTC winner, the majority of picks 9 went in favor of ITA the most current UUTC winner. While this is not a traditional upset it is one in terms a pick ‘ems. The second one comes at SHS taking down LOL with the same margin 9-4. NYY gets their first win over BLP who came off an upset win last week. Those picks were 10-3 in favor of BLP. Finally there was one person who called the BEN upset over PIP this week. Clearly and match no one saw coming.

Trades

Here are the Trades from week 4 that will be live week 5 after the bye

DCC Tyranitar T1 Free Agent Reuniclus DCC Hitmontop T4 Free Agent Aerodactyl NYY Azumarill T1 Free Agent Tyranitar VAV Rotom-W T1 Free Agent Azumarill VAV Gardevoir T3 Free Agent Meloetta VAV Altaria T5 Free Agent Servine

DCC after a rough start made some necessary changes to help improve their matchups in weeks to come by adding Aerodactyl and Reuniclus to their roster. Some fancy mon dropping in free agency allowed NYY to drop Azumarill to pick up the Tyranitar that DCC dropped and VAV picked up the Azumarill. VAV also added Meloetta dn servine to their roster which is bound to bring in new energy to the team.

Interview with Hydra

This week I’m joined by (In my opinion, one of the better battlers in PUCL) Hydra.

C9: Thank you Hydra for taking the time to answer these questions for the fans. Being randomly selected for first pick of the draft, how did you feel about?

Hydra: Whenever I see I’ve gotten first pick in a league, there’s always a rush of excitement due to all the options it gives for starting a draft. So, I was definitely happy that I could build a plan that didn’t have to factor being sniped in round 1.

C9: How do you think that impacted your draft, if at all?

Hydra: Due to the way PDL does S-tier picks, there’s a cost associated with picking the usual draft format no-brainers like Tapu Koko or Celesteela, and you can’t just jump on one of those round 1 without consequences. Additionally, the mons I ended up desiring weren’t ones I usually see taken quickly in draft format. As a result, I don’t think it ultimately influenced my draft much.

C9: What are your goals for this season of PDL?

Hydra: I’d ideally like to use all of my Pokemon to their full potential, and with a wider variety of sets. Last season I was using pokemon with more straightforward roles (also there were some Free Agency trades over an awkwardly long period of time,) and as a result there just wasn’t as much variety week to week.

C9: Who are most looking forward to battling this season?

Hydra: Geo for sure. Going off his record he seems like a strong battler, and we may or may not have had disagreements in the past involving a flying prehistoric pokemon with facial hair.

C9: Is there anyone you are glad you don’t have to face in the regular season?

Hydra: I’d say Thatch. I faced him twice last season, and although I can’t recall if it was bad plays, prep, or just an unfortunate draft matchup, I lost to him both times. So, it’s nice to not have to worry about a third match (at least until a potential comeback in season 3!)

C9: I know I’m not looking forward to our match, week 7, but either way it should be a fun battle.

Hydra: I’m flattered by your dread! But as long as we’re not going to fight twice in a row like we had to in the UUTC, it should be fun. Back-to-back battles aren’t usually a great time, but maybe that’s just me.

C9: Why did you choose the team name, The Norwalk Nosepass?

Hydra: I’m glad you asked- it’s the violently creative combination of my hometown, Norwalk, and a pokemon that possesses my favorite type, Nosepass. Despite both this Connecticut town and gen 3 Pokemon lacking any noteworthy characteristics I can discern, I’ve got a fondness for both of them.

C9: Were there any secret techs that you brought for your matchups that you didn’t get to showcase?

Hydra: There’s surprisingly already been a few. Though I did get to show off Shattered Psyche Serperior (EM Mirror Coat being the base) as a finishing move, it didn’t prove to be the surprise game winner I thought it would be as my opponent didn’t bring the Pokemon it was meant to break through, Amoonguss. I feel like I might end up bringing the other wacky techs again sometime soon, so I’ll keep quiet on those.

C9: Who would you say is the mon you are most excited to use on your team this year?

Hydra: Surprisingly, it’s proven to be Miltank. I wasn’t terribly excited about using it at first, and simply picked it to add some bulk to my draft. But it’s been a very effective and versatile Pokemon, so much so that every week so far I’ve had reason to breed a new set on it. Makes sense considering usable stats for several roles, an expansive movepool, and three good abilities to pick from.

C9: Let’s learn about you as a pokemon Fan. When did you start listening to PUCL?

Hydra: I was really into the VGC15 meta, especially post worlds, and at the time was also expanding the amount of different podcasts I listened to quite a bit. PUCL was the only one I could find that covered the format and competitive battling overall in any meaningful sense, and I’ve been a listener since.

C9: What pokemon generation did you start with?

Hydra: For me, it started back- I mean, right around gen 4. No particularly interesting story to tell, unfortunately. I’d been obsessed with the cards or anime from time to time, and eventually got Pearl upon hearing about from my older brother (but not yet understanding) the wonders this franchise had to offer in video game form.

C9: What is your favorite region?

Hydra: I’d probably go with Hoenn. As far as I remember it has the most diverse locations (and did a lot of them first,) featuring volcanoes, forests, deserts, pillars that touch the sky, and just the right amount of water. Now that I think about it, Alola is probably just as diverse in terms of locations, but it needed multiple islands to get that done so I’ll stick with Hoenn.

C9: Who is your favorite pokemon?

Hydra: Hydreigon! Ever since I first saw it and its incomparably cool typing browsing Serebii while waiting for BW’s American Release, it’s been my favorite. Worth even the absolutely ridiculous grind for level 64 and a 4x weakness resulting from it being too broken in gen 5. Snorlax and Psyduck would be my honorable mentions.

C9: If you had to pick: Attack or Special Attack?

Hydra: I’d go with Special Attack. Intimidate is gross, and moves like Psyshock or Secret Sword mean you can get the best of both worlds going with Special sometimes.

C9: What is your battle style: Stall/Hyper Offense/Bulky Offense/Balance?

Hydra: I generally lean Hyper Offense, simply because it’s quicker/easier to build for and battle with, which of course means more time for more battles!

C9: Do you prefer Speed or Trick Room?

Hydra: The answer’s probably obvious to anyone who battled me in the UUTC this year, but Trick Room. The setup is convoluted of course and means that you’re often better off going for straight speed in singles, but the payoff is immense when it works. It’s usually my default strategy when trying to figure out a new VGC format as well.

C9: What is your favorite Weather; Hail/Sand/Rain or Sun?

Hydra: Definitely Hail, partly due to it being the underdog of weather conditions for so long and me being a New Englander who doesn’t mind the cold weather. Hail was my favorite playstyle in the previously mentioned VGC15, as Blizzard would largely tear apart CHALK type teams if you had Heatran covered. The new tools it got in gen 7 finally put it on par with the other weather conditions too, so it’s less of an uphill battle to use it now.

C9: Electric/Misty/Grassy or Psychic Terrain?

Hydra: Grassy Terrain! I like Bulu a whole lot, and the effects of Grassy terrain lend themselves better than the other terrains to building defensive cores. Heatran’s another Pokemon I really like, and it can form an impeccable core with Bulu thanks to the three effects of Grassy Terrain that all benefit it.

C9: Favorite status to inflict: Sleep/Freeze/Paralysis/Burn or Poison?

Hydra: Paralysis for me. Even though it only cuts speed by 50% now, that’s still enough to make most things slower than even a lot of your walls, and that 25% chance of total immobility can mean you pulling of all kinds of things you otherwise couldn’t. And of course, I thought that the animation for it looked really neat in Diamond and Pearl.

C9: Have you watched the Pokemon anime? If yes, what is your favorite Theme song?

Hydra: I unfortunately haven’t watched the anime in quite some time, so it’s hard to say. But, I’ve heard that a Patrat goes for a high five but gets left hanging in one of the Black and White theme songs, and that sounds fantastic to me, so I’ll go with that.

C9: Thank you Hydra, for joining us today! We will be back in 2 weeks after the week 5 matches. See ya soon

low-poly devil's grief

for context: this is the model of devil's grief that exists in forbidden west - I'm assuming it's included because the opening cutscenes aren't pre-rendered and a stormbird flies through the area, so they needed the model somewhere! you can only see it if you glitch a flying mount into the prologue and get really high and then zoom in using photomode. technically on the map it's to the north of the prologue area, but I don't think that's supposed to indicate anything as far as in-game lore goes (the prologue map exists to the far southeast of the main game map, but again I don't think that's supposed to indicate where it actually is in the game world - I think that's just where they plopped it).

for reference: if you're interested in this glitch see the video links below! and if you want to do this and continue on to meridian with your flying mount, you need a NG+ file where you skipped the prologue and have completed singularity (so you can make another NG+). if you don't have a file like that (-> me. sorry I just can't skip varl) you can get to the prologue here but you won't be able to progress to meridian. in either case probably don't keep these save files around because they'll be super broken. (you can't progress on from meridian anyway, but still.) and it's always good to make a backup of your files before messing around with glitches in case anything goes weird. Diverdjent's video explaining how to do it (still works this way on PS4) Oruga's video of the current easiest arena escape (if you're on PS5) - follow the route leaving the arena exactly as shown in the video until you get the "challenge failed" message, then you can travel anywhere Diverdjent's video of this spot

if anyone is interested in this glitch and needs help with some part of it feel free to ask me! could be cool for gifmakers if you want to record aloy wearing different armor/facepaint in the opening cutscenes - just make sure you're wearing what you want before you start the glitched NG+!

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw out of bounds #out of bounds exploration #i guess we'll tag this #hfw devil's grief #maybe i can go there for real in the pc version (pls)

horizontober 2023 | 28: (forbidden) tree(s)

it's kind of weird, but i think my absolute favorite trees in HFW are the forests you get just out-of-bounds on the burning shores map. all but one of these pics were taken in the black parts of the map, and there's something about this (i'm assuming) completely-procedurally-generated landscape that is very enticing. the forest here is denser, the ground steeper. fighting a machine here would be very hard. but exploring it? i could spend hours. (or at least until the game kicks me out with a reload *grumble grumble*)

#horizontober2023 #horizon forbidden west #hfw #burning shores #hfwbs #aloy #hfw trees #hfw out of bounds #out of bounds exploration #admittedly these trees have more... er... branch collision problems than the ones in the legal map #i had to fix a wonky branch up there that was bugging me lol #but i still love walking around here and taking pics #esp with that fog #it's just magical somehow

there is a LOT of stuff out of bounds in the meridian area of the map! i wanted to compare some spots that exist in both games, but it's kinda long so there are timestamps if you want to skip around - the estate near the end is the most interesting imo :)

the map was clearly copy/pasted but there are updated and missing textures (and ones that weren't updated that say they need to be haha) - was this the start of the rumored hzd remaster? or are the assets just ones that happen to exist in both games and were carried over because we get close to them in the "legal" area of the spire? and it's a small itty bitty thing that will be in a future video, but there's something i came across that definitely doesn't exist anywhere in hfw's map that i remember... (spoiler: it's banuk T_T)

(why are all the handholds missing texture??? that's what i really want to know lol)

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #video #hfw out of bounds #out of bounds exploration #hfw pc #(remove reload boundary mod)#i only wish the game didn't get stuck if you go “too far” :( :( :(#i hate invisible walls but i'd rather have an invisible wall than have to force-close and reopen the game all the time lmao #and fly there again >_<#i know i'm not supposed to be in those places in the first place so i can't really complain #it's just annoyinggggggg #also i almost had this ready and then i saw there was a TYPO in my commentary #and i couldn't let it go so i had to re-render and re-upload the whole thing oof #(if there's a typo i *didn't* find i almost don't want to know)
