i was curious if you could recommend any books/resources for learning Norwegian? (or just your favorite language resources in general) thank you!

Hi there!

In terms of books like textbooks:

The Mystery of Nils (A1/A2) and Mysteriet om Nils (B1/B2) are pretty great imo.

Norwegian Tutor from Teach Yourself has been an absolute life-saver for grammar

Also from Teach Yourself is Norwegian Short Stories, which has vocab lists for each story

Enjoy Norwegian is good for higher intermediate (although I've never really clicked with it)

Another one I never clicked with but is used in a lot of language schools is På Vei (A1/A2 level)

Some other resources:

Lesnorsk norskkurs - texts from A1-B2 level

I do actually think the Duolingo course is okay tbh (the audio's sometimes a bit strange, but as far as free resources go it's really good imo!)

Memrise is also a popular resource: here's a link to the first of their Norwegian courses (never clicked with it myself, but a lot of people like it)

Lingohut is also pretty good!

CALST is awesome for helping you learn to speak specific dialects

I’ve not tried using it, but Bnorsk seems to be a website where you can learn Norwegian for free

I also take classes on italki (if you're interested in giving it a go then lmk so I can give you a referral code and get you a few dollars off your first lesson. I've also taken lessons from a number of tutors and can maybe help you find the best one for you)

Here's a bunch of Norwegian instagram accounts you can follow

This is a website with set expressions and idioms in Norwegian

Bildetema is good for vocabulary - you see pictures with the Norwegian words next to them, and you can click on them to see how they’re pronounced. There are lots of different topics too!

ung.forskning.no is quite good if you're like B1 level and interested in science because the articles are quite short and basically made for younger readers so the language isn't so difficult (a number of them also have corresponding podcast episodes, so you can read the article to learn a bit about the topic and then listen to the podcast)

Drops and uTalk (both apps) also have Norwegian available to learn (I’m not a huge fan of them, but you might be!)

I also use the Anki app on my phone to create flashcards (there’s a free knock-off version and a legit version that costs like £20+. I use the free one and it’s fine).

Podcasts:

Norskpodden is a good podcast for learners as they also have a transcript

Lær Norsk Nå! is also aimed at learners

Norsklærer Karense has her own podcast too (A2+)

I quite like Smartere på 10 minutter as well because it's interesting and it's short and the presenter speaks in clear Oslo dialect. If you're still not used to listening in Norwegian, you can slow it down to half speed. (B1+)

Oppdatert is also not too long, the presenters speak quite clearly and it’s about current affairs (B1+)

E-books

While I absolutely do not endorse the author's awful transphobic views, I know a lot of people are interested in reading the Harry Potter books as a way to expand their vocabulary, and it sure would be a shame if you could find all the PDFs free online and not have to give money to that aforementioned author. (Side note: the translator uses "omforladels" as a translation for "sorry" which like no actual Norwegian person apart from maybe in some dialects uses ever. Also remember it’s a translation, and the translator has tried to maintain a sense of “Britishness”, so some of the language isn’t entirely natural)

You can also search ebooks by language (including Norwegian) and download them for free from here (definitely 100% not illegal in any way shape or form *shifty glance*)

If you prefer to buy Norwegian ebooks actually legally, you can do so here.

Youtube channels:

Special shoutout to Norwegian Done Easy because Markus is my italki tutor and he's awesome (plus I'm featured! So you can see my silly little face Norwegianing as hard as it can!)

Norsklærer Karense (I'm uhh not actually a fan BUT she has lots of useful videos for like A1-B2 level. There's also a lot of useful information about culture and moving to Norway and integration and test-taking)

Preben's Norwegian Academy (he's from Nord-Norge, so you get some dialect exposure too)

Norskkurset (it's not updated for a little while but there are some good videos there!)

Norwegian Teacher Karin (another one that's not updated for a while but still has some good videos)

Norwegian With Tor (for a little Tromsø dialect)

Hope that's enough to get you started/keep you going! Let me know if you have any questions :)

AYO I FOUND U ON AO3 (love ur stories btw) AND IMMA NEED MORE OF THAT TEACHER TORD! X COLLEGE STUDENT!EDD AU PLEASE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Ever since you sent this I've been so excited to write it, I had a lot of fun with the first one (nsft past this point, proceed at your own risk)

Edd had just waiting since he had some time before his next class, Tord's, sitting on the lawn with his skethbook. Then, a close friend of his, Tom came. He had Tord too, not at the same time as Edd though, which for any other class would have been disappointing, but considering the... Nature of his and Tord's relationship, Edd was sort of glad.

"hey, Mr Dahl told me to send you early, he wants to talk to you about something" he said sitting down as well and Edd felt his cheeks go pink, that always meant the same thing. "R-right... I should probably go then" Tom nodded and chuckled a little to himself.

He figured Edd just had a crush on him, teachers aren't supposed to date students though so even if he does seem like the professor's favorite he wasn't worried about it, Edd can give him goo goo eyes all he wants, it's not like it's gonna go anywhere.

Edd walked down the hallway and into the classroom once he got there. His class with Tom had just ended so the room was empty, other than the two of them. He looked up at Edd, not even cracking a smile. He just nodded for the brunette to come closer once he shut the door.

The year was ending soon, and it was Edd's last year there which meant they wouldn't have to sneak around anymore. It was great of course, but Tord was honestly just a little bit disappointed. He thought it was so hot watching Edd try to act natural around the other students or trying to keep himself quiet so no one would find them, he would miss that. So they have been doing it in the classroom a lot more lately.

Edd came in, sort of meekly, as always when he was flustered. He was always a little bit intimidated by Tord, even with how close they had become. "Mr Dahl you... Wanted to see me?" He nodded, standing up to look down at the boy "I got something the other day I need your help with. Come here" it was a new toy, a vibrating one. He was honestly trying to contain his own excitement, he just loved this.

Though he liked coming off as serious, especially to Edd, he looked so cute when he got all nervous. The boy walked over, gasping as Tord grabbed his hip and pulled him closer rather aggressively. He kissed him with no warning, deeply and passionately. He shoved his tongue in and Edd melted right away, letting his hands find their place on Tord's strong shoulders as his eyes fluttered shut.

The norsk wrapped his arm around Edd's waist to pull him closer, the other opening up the drawer of his desk he had reserved for Edd, getting out the new toy. The artist didn't notice, too busy swooning for his boyfriend. His lips were rough, and he seemed so good at this, it was just wonderful.

Edd blushed deeper as he felt the man's hand move lower to hold his ass, pushing his hips forward a bit as he grinded against him causing him to give a few little gasps and moans into the kiss, whimpering softly and holding Tord tighter. The taller couldn't help smirking slightly into the kiss before it was broken.

"Sir th-the class is about to start-" he mumbled looking up at him with big, worried eyes. Surely he didn't want to now right? The door wasn't even locked, everyone could start coming in any minute. "I'm well aware Edd, bend over for me" despite being very concerned, Edd did as he was told, bending over Tord's desk. "Good boy~" the man coed softly making him blush deeply, feeling a little shudder through him, making Tord chuckle softly.

He gently slipped Edd's pants down, not all the way. He sadly wasn't wearing any of the langire Tord had bought him, it was always a nice surprise when he did. He pulled his underwear down as well, gently rubbing his sub's cock as he grabbed the lube out of the drawer. He opened it, watching the way Edd wined and squirmed a little, getting fully hard in Tord's hand.

He poured some of the lubricant onto his fingers, rubbing them together a bit before shoving two inside of Edd with no warning, electing a sharp yelp from the shorter. He whined, hints of pain in his voice but mostly pleasure. "Ohh, sir~" he softly moaned as the man began slowly moving his fingers, pushing his hips back just a bit. Tord couldn't help a chuckle at his sudden eagerness, he thought it was just adorable.

He added a third finger, making sure to push them deep, but purposely avoided his sweet spot. This was a little frustrating especially when he got so close to it but it still felt amazing and Edd was too focused on that to be too upset. Soon though, Tord took his fingers out and Edd braced himself for what was to come, but it wasn't what he expected.

Tord took the toy, rubbing it down with a little lube just to be sure before carefully pushing it inside Edd. It was a red egg about the size and shape of Tord's thumb, it had a cord for easy removal and a little remote that could control how much it vibrated. Edd tensed up slightly as it was pushed in, but he seemed confused.

He didn't know what this was, Tord had made him wear plugs before but this was different. Mr Dahl slowly pushed it deeper until the brunette in front of him gasped, flinching a bit. He smirked to himself and left it right on his prostate, taking his fingers out.

"stand up" he said helping Edd put his underwear and pants back on, and he obeyed despite being fully hard still. "W-what-" "you should get your things and sit down, the others are gonna get here any second" he said it as if nothing had happened, sitting back in his desk and looking at Edd expectantly. The shorter was speechless, and very curious as to what Tord put in him.

He just did as he was told, grabbing his bag, and surely enough the other students began coming in. It rubbed against his spot as he sat down, his face still a bright red. Soon all the chairs were full and Mr Dahl stood up, both of his hands in his pockets at first, then Edd felt something click and the toy started vibrating.

It took him by surprise and he quickly covered his mouth before just biting his lip hard to be less suspicious. He was just melting in his chair, whimpering quietly under his breath as it buzzed against his spot. He could hardly think, his brain totally scrambled. Tord kept catching his eyes, a small smile tugging at his lips as he reached into his pocket again, turning it to the second setting.

He watched as Edd nearly doubled over, his eyes blowing wide and fighting as hard as he could to keep quiet and not raise alarm. A well meaning and concerned girl looked at him for a moment before leaning over "Are you ok?" His face went bright red and Tord had to stop himself from laughing in the middle of the lecture as the artist forced a smile "Y-yeah! Yeah, I'm f-" It was turned up even more for just a moment before back down, Edd quickly covering his mouth to muffle a sharp moan he managed to disguise as one of pain "Fine, I-I'm fine just uh- having some stomach cramps, thanks" she nodded with a little smile and went back to her notebook.

It was nearly impossible to do anything like this, he had to totally focus on not being noticed. With his brain so foggy and scrambled, he ended up with his hands in his lap rubbing his legs together and trying to grind against them, desperate for friction against his painfully hard cock.

Tord, upon seeing his very flushed and sweaty partner squirming and grinding, turned it up more watching him totally tense up with a whine, putting his forehead down against the desk and his hands gripping the chair between his legs. He was getting closer to orgasm by the second, and that thought terrified him beyond words.

The class was coming to an end thankfully, Edd didn't know how much longer he could have managed in such a state. He was so much less focused on not getting caught, he could hardly focus on anything other than how good it felt and how badly he wished Tord would touch him. The man wrapped up the lecture, his eyes catching Edd's for a moment before turning it all the way up as he dismissed them.

Everyone around the artist had gone packed their bags and stood up to go thankfully, leaving. The second the door closed behind everyone Edd fell apart, whining as he put his head down and gave a desperate moan. Mr Dahl laughed, hard, it wasn't mean spirited, it sounded warm and joyous, despite the fact the joy was coming from Edd's torture.

He walked over, and took the remote out of his pocket, turning it off and the student nearly began sobbing, just collapsing into tears. He had been so so close, and now that everyone was finally gone he was stopped. It was so frustrating. Tord cupped his cheek and wiped away a stray tear of pleasure on his face.

"You did so well sweetheart, I'll make sure you get to feel very very good now" he promised, placing his thumb on Edd's lips as his hand moved down to gently rub the tent in his pants with his fingertips. The brunette gave a little whimper and leaned into his hand, looking up at him with his desperate glossy eyes.

He took his hands away, standing up straight and once again using his commanding tone "come here" he walked to his desk, and the artist scrambled to get up and follow him. Tord sat down in his chair and had Edd stand in front of him so he could unbutton and remove his pants as well as his boxers, tugging them off of him.

The brit flinched slightly as his fully hard cock sprung up, tip flushed and covered with pre, which Tord just loved. He always thought it was such a pretty sight, how desperate his Edd was for him. Edd tensed up and whined as the taller man gently ran his fingers up the underside of his dick, it twitching slightly. It was so over sensitive since he had been edged, desperate to finish.

Tord's other hand grabbed the cord of the toy and slowly pulled the vibrator out of his hole, watching him shudder but try his best to stay still. He liked being good for Mr Dahl and doing what he told him to, he wanted to be praised and be his good boy. "Hand me the lube"

"yes sir" he grabbed the bottle off of the man's desk again and handed it to him, sitting on his lap when guided to do so "good boy..." He was straddling the professor, a warm hand slowly running up under his hoodie. He used his other hand to unbutton his pants, as much as he loved teasing Edd he was so hard from watching him he couldn't have gone much longer without getting to be inside of him.

"will you help me put some on Edd?" He asked like he was asking the brunette to do something simple like bring him some papers or deliver a message for him. Said man blushed deep scarlet and nodded, opening the lube as Tord took his member out, pouring a bit on his hand before then gently wrapping his hand around his lover's cock.

The taller took a sharp breath from the cold liquid, exhaling softly again as Edd gently pumped his hand, then using two. He bit his bottom lip slightly, not looking at Tord's face, he was too embarrassed. It was warm in his hands, and so hard, the thought that it was going to be inside of him in a matter of moments was so exciting, he could hardly bare it.

"just like that... Very good" sweet praise was whispered to him as he continued applying the liquid, only being allowed to continue for another few seconds before he was stopped, having his hands gently taken away. Tord then grabbed his hips and had him raise them a bit, lining up with his dick. He gently guided the artist as he sank down on it slowly, though it seemed like he understood what he was supposed to do.

His face got several shades more red and he held Tord's shoulders tight, not taking it all just yet. He didn't start moving right away yet either, taking second to himself to get comfortable before he did. He began slowly raising and lowering his hips with a bit of Tord's guidance to keep a steady pace. "Good boy... Doing so well" Mr Dahl spoke softly, very softly as he kissed the shorter man's neck.

The brit just melted in his arms, giving soft sweet moans and gasps, starting to come down a bit harder and faster when he did. Tord encouraged him, even bucking his hips up a bit occasionally to push it deeper in which case Edd would give a high pitched yelp "sir!~" before moaning. "That's it" "just like that" the teacher's accent was thick as he spoke quietly, giving his sub's ass and thighs little squeezes as he guided him up and down.

His moans and panting only escalated as he started going harder, now taking it all in almost every time he came down. He would cry out every time it touched his sweet spot, tears beginning to well up in his eyes as his shaky hands held onto Tord tight.

The taller began tugging him down slightly when he came down, making him take it all every time. He wasn't thinking about being quiet, moaning loudly for Tord, whimpering and trying to stay as close to him as he could. He was starting to struggle to bounce, not able to focus on it while Tord plowed him.

Edd put his face in Tord's neck, squeezing his eyes shut tight as tears rolled down his cheeks and he moaned loudly. It was more the teacher thrusting up into him then anything but he didn't mind at all, holding the smaller close to him as he did, listening to his moans and whimpers and the way he'd gasp and jolt whenever his prostate was touched. His insides were so tight and hot around Tord, he could feel himself starting to get close.

Edd was addicting, he could never get enough of him he always wanted more, it was intoxicating really. "Taking it so well for me sweetheart" he said softly, kissing his cheek then neck as he melted, holding Tord a bit tighter. "Oh God- it feels- Ah!~ f-feels soo good" he mumbled, barely managing to get the words out before moaning again and letting his head fall.

Tord held his hips and gently rubbed him as he bounced. "P-please sir, I think I'm gonna cum-" he spoke quickly and almost frantically as if it were some kind of emergency, making Tord laugh a bit. "Not yet sweetheart" he started going harder making Edd moan loudly, holding the fabric of Tord's shirt tight in his hands.

"Mr Dahl- please!~" he begged, his voice breaking and cracking, his shoulders shaking in a heavy sob. Tord was huffing and grunting quietly as he fucked the brunette. He yanked him down by his hips as he thrust all the way in, going especially deep, making the man in his lap scream.

"go ahead" and Edd was glad he said so, because he didn't know if he could have helped it. He gave a high pitched moan as he came on Tord's shirt, panting and whining softly. The way his walls squeezed around the norsk's dick pushed him over the edge too, climaxing deep inside of him electing another soft moan, this one sounding more surprised.

He leaned fully against Tord and panting softly, drooling a bit. He couldn't think, he just felt so stuffed and foggy. The professor held him close, running his hands further under his hoodie, just rubbing his back to offer comfort and affection. He kissed his forehead "such a good boy, so pretty, my beautiful Eddie" he whispered kissing his face more, watching it flush as the big brown eyes looked up at him. "You wanna get off and let me clean you up some?"

Edd huffed a bit and thought for a moment, frowning slightly "um, I wanna stay just a little longer... Please" Tord felt his heart flutter, Edd was always able to leave him at a loss for words so easily without even trying, just by being himself. He was just so sweet "of course, as long as you want" he kissed his cheek again and held the smaller as he got comfy again.

Swisgaar HCs on Dethklok members?

This became more of what his dynamic is with each member - I wasn't sure if that was what you meant. Anyways, more under the cut!

Skwisgaar and Toki Wartooth

It's hard to talk about Toki without mentioning Skwisgaar - it was, after all, Skwisgaar's idea to invite Toki to join the band. Skwisgaar understands basic level Norsk, and given the similarities between the languages, he probably had a ton of conversations with Toki in both Svensa and Norsk, trying to teach him their signature bad English pronounciations.

I imagine this meant that our 2 Scandinavian musicians probably stuck together closely during the first few months or years of Dethklok as they rose to fame and fortune - Skwisgaar glad to have someone who understood him on some level when he swapped to either of their native languages, or even just having someone nearby who experience culture shock in micro doses as they grew as a band.

They both share a much tighter friendship than the other members based on how Toki canonically seems to admire Skwisgaar's talent, how they both seem to engage in some really stupid shenanigans together, and how Skwisgaar tends to lose his shit if anything threatens Toki's well being.

That said, I see Skwisgaar as being annoyed with Toki's antics, finding his lack of practicing rather insulting, and on a personal level, views Toki as a threat to his position as lead guitarist. He enjoys Toki's company but his own ego and lack of chill (for lack of a better terms) really strain what is otherwise quite possibly his closest friendships.

While Toki is in fact a legendary guitarist in his own right, being denied solos, bullied by Skwisgaar and his impossible to meet standards, and the constant fear of possibly being booted out over a simple tantrum have stressed their friendship throughout their careers and personal lives. Despite this, he still views Skwisgaar as his friend, and hangs out whenever possible with him.

On a more personal note, Skwisgaar probably shares a ton of inside jokes with Toki, naturally includes him in activities with the band to enforce that Toki is welcome (more of a reassurance at this point) and has shared bits and pieces of himself and vice versa in confidence. Skwisgaar has shown that he cares about Toki on more than one occasion, forgiving Toki for his antics if it means Toki is safe, alive, and in a stable happy place.

Skwisgaar shows he cares in a much more profound but silent way especially with Toki, and if anyone in Dethklok even insinuates that Skwisgaar cares in any level, he's quick to shut it down with a snide remark or even a swing of the guitar on his back.

Skwisgaar and Nathan Explosion

No one holds Skwisgaar's respect in the band better than Nathan. The vocalist and frontman brings a brutality and perfectionist need to their music that Skwisgaar can get behind on. Their synergy musically has given way to being called workaholics by the rest of the group as a joke, but someone's gotta have the drive and passion for the 5 of them, and it just so happens that both of these idiots have it in spades.

Often times Skwisgaar and Nathan both will butt heads on the quality of their compositions, from Skwisgaar demanding Murderface and Toki's parts be done again for the 342nd take, or will insist to do them himself if they don't meet his expectations - Nathan often just telling him to record them himself to avoid wasting hours in the booth and producer's chair. On the other hand I can see him growing frustrated with Nathan when he's approved of the bass and rhythm parts, or has played all of them, only for Nathan to delete the entire track for the 100th time but realizes this is what he puts Nathan through so he keeps his frustration to himself. He knows perfection takes time, so he at best tolerates it and, at worst, swallows his pride and does the recording again to fit Nathan's needs.

Outside of the studio Skwisgaar gives Nathan his space and in turn Nathan gives him his. Both share a mutual respect for their craft that extends to each other as people, and it helps the band when they need to cool their heads during album recording crunch.

Both share a need to worry for Toki, Nathan often being the guy that steps in first so Skwisgaar can take a much needed break (not that the Swede minds, but even Skwisgaar has his limits and demands physical space from a clingy Toki). Nathan worries about everyone equally though, so he often also makes sure Skwisgaar knows he has a place in Dethklok - often it's him who pulls the Swede off his guitar when Skwisgaar plays as a coping mechanism for hours without stopping despite blisters forming on his hands.

Over all, a friendship that is built on respect, music and brutality. Skwisgaar enjoys Nathan's company the most in the recording booth, as he seems to take the craft and their music seriously - unlike the rest of the band (exception being Pickles when he decides to show up half sober).

Skwisgaar and Pickles the Drummer

Pickles and Skwisgaar tend to share a bottle when it comes to hanging out, and it's typically over their mothers and the anxiety they induce in the musicians. Both seem to understand how one call can completely tilt them sideways for the entire week, and can just tell when one or the other has received a call from their overbearing mothers.

The feeling of being unappreciated or ignored for others - they are well acquainted with the feeling of having a mother who was for all intents and purposes, absent or needlessly cruel; it has made both of them throw their all into their craft, their passion, and it's made for some small moments in dim closets silently drinking and hearing the other rant about their problems or just crying in the dark about how shitty they feel despite trying so hard.

Pickles will be the first to notice when Skwisgaar has gotten to the point of anxiety attacks induced by his mother, and manages to drag the blonde away from his usual tick and get him to unwind. Skwisgaar notices the same, when Pickles goes too hard on the lamps or goes out in public absoluted sauced he manages to get the drummer to sit down and smoke a few joints.

Pickles, in turn, respects Skwisgaar's ability to play guitar perfectly, and having played it before joining Dethklok, he respects and admires the dedication the Swede has for practicing and perfecting his craft. Sometimes Skwisgaar will give him his signature guitar just to see Pickles play during their 'our mother suck' hang outs to unwind, and it helps to hear music that used to bring a bit of joy to Skwisgaar before Dethklok and the pressures of greatness came crushing down on him.

Skwisgaar used to be a big SnBs fan, when Pickles was the frontman - the 3rd album being his favorite. He brings with him a large chunk of respect for Pickles for managing to pull off the craziest outfits in the tightest clothing and managing to perform with a band that clearly was holding his talent back. He doesn't admit it out loud, but Skwisgaar sometimes gets starstruck still when watching Pickles on drums or when playing guitar and vocals from a SnBs song.

Granted, for someone whose English is so bad he got dubbed out of his own film, understanding Pickles' accent is a huge hurdle that sometimes leaves him more confused than ever.

On a personal note, these two have a great friendship that doesn't get seen much. If one even looks like they had a rough day, they text each other to check in and see where they sit mentally. It's the closest to openly caring either one does for the other, but they don't care if the rest of the band calls it that. They call it "check ins after a code mom" and it works to get them back on track.

Skwisgaar and William Murderface

William has a ton of feeling that he puts into bass playing, and it shows. Skwisgaar can pump out a great bass line but the feeling that they crave can only be done by Murderface, and its with this in mind that makes Skwisgaar put up with William as often as he does.

William is the roughest gem the Skwisgaar wants to see shine, and there was a time when he was actually trying and playing amazing music - his inferiority complex won out as they got bigger and famous, and with Skwisgaar having to mix out his parts or having to re-record them, it became a viscious cycle that fed itself.

Skwisgaar acts like an ice queen due to other things, but when it comes to Toki and William he goes out of his way to prove that they are amazing musicians and it takes all of Skwisgaar's patience to not chew out either of them. Best bassist in the world, Murderface fails to see his potential, his talent, and it kills Skwisgaar because on some level he understands that feeling of not being good enough and what it can do to to one's mental state.

Very rarely do they interact outside of the recording room, oftentimes avoiding each other. Skwisgaar's unable to really pinpoint how to help his bassist and Murderface makes it near impossible to be tolerable - and with his inferiority complex flaring up when he sees the band's most desirable guitarist, its hard to approach the Swede especially when Skwisgaar throws his infamous diva tantrums about Toki and William not pulling their weight.

On some level, Skwisgaar understands why Murderface acts the way he does, but usually makes no effort to assist him when William more often than not is the root of his problems and stress - from lawsuits to constant insults to outight blaming him for the bassist's lack of pussy, William is a neverending source of headaches for Skwisgaar.

On the rare occasion William and Skwisgaar do get along, it's often when they're drunk, just playing tunes for fun, or they're discussing side project work: Murderface was the first person Skwisgaar approached about Depantsification Proclamation when looking for talent although Murderface turned it down for work on Planet Piss.

My personal headcanon is that Skwisgaar is both impressed with William's raw talent and his ability to play bass with his dick out. it's insane that he can play with both his hands and his dick, and on such a professional and talented level. He'd rather feed himself to the yard wolves that admit this ever.
