Age of Calamity is such a funny game when you think about it because most of the characters go through Events and use their strengths and suffer hardships and stuff, but honestly they mostly end the game the same as they started it. It’s not “bad storytelling” or anything to have most of the main characters (Link, the Champions, Impa, etc) not change very much character-growth wise, I’m not insinuating that. They’re heroes and it’s fun to watch them BE heroes and in some cases have nice heartfelt moments together, etc.
But it’s just hilarious to me that the characters in the game who DO get some form of character development arc are:
3. King Rhoam (a distant third place but he does realize his kid’s interests were helpful not frivolous and he apologizes and lets her continue leading the army and fights by her side)
2. Zelda (expected, she is the main character after all, and she gets to grow from doubting herself based on her father’s words and how special and talented everyone around her seems to be in comparison, and being upset at not being able to help more, to realizing her worth as a capable leader whose love and passions were what saved everyone)
1. MASTER FUCKIN KOHGA (goes from trying to peace out and let his lackeys take care of every fight, to desperately NOT wanting to leave Sooga and the others behind (poorly and obviously hiding it behind “come on stick together so you can protect me!” while he as the PC for your first play of that mission is clearly doing all the work to protect them); ends up not only joining Zelda’s faction to protect/get revenge for his Clan despite his hereditary beef with the royal family, but PERSONALLY taking to the battlefield including in the final deadly dangerous missions; declares during that final battle that HE is gonna “send that giant menace packing,” ie the very same monstrous entity he previously served)
Like. It’s not even close. Master “Top Banana” “Kill You All To Death” Kohga. Has THE most character development in the game.
And it’s just. So unexpected and therefore great and entertaining to me.

I saw someone on Twitter talk about how BOTW-verse Zelda wouldn't have kids, which would end the goddess bloodline and now it has me thinking like....did every Zelda...always end up having kids? For thousands of years? Was the bloodline continuous since Skyward Sword Zelda (which has to be like...hundreds of thousands of years AT LEAST at this point). It's interesting to think about in a scenario where a Zelda doesn't manage to have kids....how does the bloodline come back...

my tears of the kingdom dlc wishlist in no particular order;
dungeons not related to the immediate story that have unique bosses but give you fun items that give you different perks
more outfits
an option you can select on the main menu after you've completed the game by beating ganondorf at least once where you get a segment of post game content that acts like an epilogue
either two new quests like a call from the depths, or eight new shrines, or two new dungeons with heart containers to even out the health bar/stamina wheel
a side adventure where you help a team of different folks build new settlements in select areas of hyrule, possibly even the depths
a flying construct in the vein of the master cycle that people can earn that never disappears, is easy to control, and doesn't eat up your battery as fast as fans typically do
a side adventure/whole dlc pack that delves into the hero referenced in botw from 10,000 years ago on the mural and in the hero's aspect
a side adventure where cece hires link to hunt down the culprit who has been making knock-offs of her clothing brand, and it turns out to be the yiga as a money-making scheme

I'm so excited to show y'all Link and Zelda's designs for Hyrule's Final Stand!
Tumblr media
Foxhatart on DeviantArt did the reference for Prince (King) Link Imperial Hyrule, and helped me bring his Wolfbred traits to life!
Tumblr media
Lulusama on DeviantArt did Princess (Queen) Zelda Esmerelda Hyrule's design and her dress design (mentioned in Trial of the Zora Armor chapter nine and onwards)
I'm so grateful for these two and absolutely love how the work ended up! I hope you guys enjoy them too!

bro totk doesn’t have imperialism. It has whatever you call a system ran by monarchs. Monarchism (or something), which is not better but certainly fits the description of what Rauru is running better.
Well see, Monarchism and Imperialism are two different things right. Monarchism is the system or principle in which a land is ruled by a monarch and all the power is concentrated in said monarch. This is the system that Rauru wants to establish in Hyrule, because in his eyes he sees this as the best way to ensure peace between the various tribes that exist in the land. Imperialism is the idea of extending the power of one's country to others, either by military force or with diplomacy. So, when Rauru married Sonia and established the country of Hyrule with the Hylian populace, he had established a monarchy. Extending his invitation to other tribes to join his kingdom is where the imperialism comes in, because these tribes were already sovereign and had their own system of governance. I think one thing that people misunderstand is that imperialism doesn't have to be violent. The imperialistic empires that have lasted the longest were the ones that granted their subjects sufficient liberties. Imperialism can be achieved through diplomacy. The key factor that an imperialistic kingdom must possess is some sort of advantage, whether in wealth or power, that puts the countries or people it is attempting to extend its influence over at a clear disadvantage. In Rauru's case, he possessed the power of the Secret Stones and the advantage of legends that placed his people in a status close to godhood. His intentions were not bad, he did wish for a peaceful kingdom, but the reason he felt he could do this and that he should be the one to do this was because he had so much power in his hands. I am sure other tribes could see that Rauru himself wasn't bad per say, and they most certainly could see the power he possessed, so they agreed to join his kingdom in hopes that, being included under the protective embrace of his kingdom, they would remain safe. There are some people that call what Rauru had with the other tribes an alliance, as Zelda says this when she discovers the murals in the Castle. However, I would like to point out that the alliance-like nature of Rauru's kingdom was actually established after Ganondorf became Demon King, when Rauru distributed the Secret Stones to all tribes. That levelled the playing field and that is when I can say that yes, Hyrule went from being an imperialistic kingdom to an allied kingdom. If Ganondorf had not become Demon King, there is no guarantee that Rauru would have done such a thing. However, the fact that Rauru was willing to distribute the power, the advantage that he had, to protect Hyrule instead of fleeing it with his sister to me says that his intentions had always been to protect Hyrule. His methods, however, were flawed and a little misinformed.

Personally I think it would be really funny if Rauru was king only because Sonia was queen

yknow how i mentioned I'm thinking of writing a spite fic that's just TOTK but the narrative is allowed to acknowledge that imperialism is really fucking evil? Yeah so I might be outlining that fic and let me tell you i have Plans. I've now got a whole backstory about the Gerudo sage, namely what kind of person she must have been to be in the position to meet Rauru and Sonia (aka accompanying Ganondorf to Hyrule Castle, meaning someone he put a lot of trust in), while also being the kind of person that Rauru and Sonia would consider a viable option for a Sage (aka someone clearly opposed to Ganondorf). That's an interesting contradiction, and made me wonder why this woman would be part of Ganondorf's inner circle, but also look like his political opponent on a surface reading, and I wound up following that to the logical conclusion and now her story is making me really, really sad.
Also I found the helmets worn by the four non-royal sages to be really ominous and creepy, along with their complete lack of names, personalities, and that one scene with the four of them spontaneously swearing eternal loyalty to Rauru with zero prompting yet still speaking in perfect unison. That has Implications. I have done things with those implications.
Oh and I thought it was kinda bullshit that Sheikah are completely brushed off in this game, so I dug into wtf is going on there. I mean, it's weird that to fight a war against the Gerudo, Rauru decided that it would be a good idea to try recruit a Gerudo woman to fight against her own rightful king, instead of like... recruiting a Sheikah, y'know the people that can be trusted to be diehard supporters of the Hylian throne. That's a really weird absence, and I've decided that the fourth sage was originally a Sheikah, and they wound up turning on Rauru (over legitimate greivances!), and the resulting backlash caused the split that formed the Yiga Clan, AND caused them to be allied with Ganondorf.

maybe the answer to "what should Twi's backstory be" is "well what would be the funniest for Time to respond to Rusl casually mentioning where he found the kid?"
#unfortunately the answer still remains 'all of them'#Time: if you dont mind my asking how did he come to be in your care?#Rusl: well i was passing through a burned out ranch on my way into hyrule#Time: oh i see where this is going#Rusl: and i met a scholar on the run with his two sons- the younger had just been born with some kinda birthmark on his hand that freaked#him out real bad so after a bit of explanation i took the kid home with me.#OR#Rusl: and i met a woman there descended from the old ranchers. helped her fix a cart and get back to town. she runs a bar there. that night#a poor woman went into labor alone. didn't make it but there was the baby and Telma couldnt care for him so i took him home#OR.#Rusl: i thought it a bad omen and i was right- there was need in hyrule for a resistance. i met a man there- a royal tutor- and well. long#story short i ran out of the castle nursery with a stolen baby. dont tell link that.#OR..#Rusl: and weirdest thing was in that burned out ranch there was a golden wolf. it gave me the chase back into the woods and there was a bab#just left out there on a tree stump#OR...#Rusl: and there was a stalfos on the ranch. he just handed me the baby and said his name was link. Uli never believed me but#OR....#Rusl: met a girl there later at the ranch- her family used to own it- and we got along well enough. He takes more after her than me#Time (responding to literally any of those): W H A T#sorry (isnt sorry) been thinking about twilight...... and loz in general today

Guilty as Ganon
She couldn't figure it out fast enough to save her own face, or Link's for that matter.
Rhoam wanted her to confess, in front of all these people, what she had done. He wanted her to submit herself for a public condemnation provided by her own father.
And what a father he had been to her. 
Had Rhoam actually been what he needed to be, Zelda determined after her witch trial was all over, none of this wouldn't have happened. 
She was upset. Okay, upset was an understatement. 
She was downright, undeniably, worthy of all the Gerudo profanity she knew, furious. And in her mind, she had every right to be. She knew what she had done, and the Goddess whom she had gotten ill for time and time again (yet still had somehow ignored her dedication) egged her on to do such a thing as if it was the last piece to finally unlocking the power that she'd lost everything for. And if it were that last step, then condemn the Golden Goddesses above she was going to do it! 
Did Father seek to gain anything by making me look more unworthy for the throne that no one else is able to inherit? By Naryu's name, what could it ever be? By defacing her, a descendant of Hylia and Link, Hylia's hero chosen over and over again, Rhoam was only asking for his kingdom to burn. 
The armor grabbed tight at her waist, worse than that cursed formal dress, but she feared about as much as she fumed.
"And why is that?" Zelda's fists grew tense as the sound of his voice in her mind. "What is more important than training to awaken the power to save all of Hyrule? Do you, Zelda, want Hyrule to burn to ashes along with all its people?"
She wanted to bash that head in over and over again, screaming profanities that matched or exceeded the ones he and the court used to describe her. 
These feelings weren't hers, she tried to convince herself at the beginning. But they were, oh so real, as real as the persistent enduring ache deep in her stomach, belonging solely to her scarred and tattered soul.
It had been so long, if ever, since she had smoldered with such fury. She wanted to let it all out on the person who had deserved it most over these past ten years.
Urbosa had taught her ways to cope with such turbulent emotions, but the one that worked the best was unusable. Whenever she got debilitated by the feelings harbored in her soul, she would always head down to the Noble Canteen for a drink known as a Valiant Cause, which was the exact same thing as the famous Noble Pursuit but minus the alcohol. It didn't exist on the menu, but the bartender began to serve it when Urbosa took Zelda in following her mother's untimely death. Now, with the small but undeniable round in her stomach, she was instantly denied access from the bar without a second glance or eloquent argument. 
"Gerudo law prohibits pregnant vai from any form of access to adult beverages or establishments." That same bartender nearly snapped at her, not even rising from the main desk. "I think of all vai, you should know that, hmm? Come back after you've finished nursing."
The words didn't frustrate her as much as the fact that Zelda's coping mechanisms were vanishing into thin air. She needed something material to work through, whether that was an ancient robot or a nearly frozen fruit punch. She used these material things because she felt like it was unfair that Link was always having to fix her problems, and without them it seemed like he was having to stop more meltdowns than ever before. Most were from her raging hormones, which caused mood swings so bizarre that the emotions came and went before she could even realize their presence. 
She missed Link… 
The poor boy was in the Lockup until Hylia-knows-when. 
Rhoam had sentenced him there until proof of his legal marriage to Zelda was provided. If it became clear that Zelda was pregnant outside of a marriage bond, he'd be sent to the Castle Town Prison for the rest of his days. If the records showed that he was married to her, then no punishment could be done. A member of the Royal Family is above the law after all. 
Sweet Hylia, Zelda wanted a hug. She was balancing on a fence of unbridled violence, but she wanted a hug so badly. 
She couldn't take it any longer. She nearly flew into a standing position, checking to make sure the armor still adequately protected her growing baby from any conflict she might encounter, and headed towards the Lockup.
"Link!" She softly called into the cell, three heads turned. 
"Zelda?!" Link cried, stumbling to his knees. "You're not supposed to be here!"
"Hey, it's the Princess!" Another voice called. 
"How are you?"
Link reached through the bars to stroke her face. "I'm fine. You've gotta get out of here. You're not supposed to be down here."
"I'm not leaving. Not yet. I miss you." 
"I miss you too. But it will be okay, Urbosa will provide everything His Majesty wants." 
Zelda aggressively kissed his lips, the others in the cell jumped back in surprise. 
They had known Link was in the Lockup for an improper relationship with the Princess, but seeing her return such ways sent them reeling. Did she initiate the relationship? Was it all her idea? Why was she so upset that he was down there? 
Link tore back for air, Zelda's face seemed like her heart was about to break. "Zelda… please, it's alright. I'll be out soon… But this, this isn't healthy for you."
"Neither of us are alright! We need you!" 
"I can't stop anyone if they react to you being down here. Please… go back to where you're supposed to be… it's safer that way… just for a little while…" He held onto her hand, brushing over her knuckles. 
"I-I can't…" Zelda's voice swung in and out of her controllable range. Her body flopped down onto its side. 
Link's breath caught in his throat as his eyes failed to find the bulge in her stomach. Where was his child? 
She wasn't breathing deep, all her breaths were quick and shallow. He snuck a hand down onto the metal covering her stomach, only then did he find her trapped bump. 
"It hurts… but it's the only thing that feels safe… with this… they can't hurt me as much."
This was enough to put him over. He wanted to rip the bars of the Lockup open and pull her close. He wanted to rip that tight armor off her and replace it with a loose, comforting dress. "Urbosa said she'd be back within forty-eight hours." His voice had become stale. "This will all be over soon…" 
“But…”
“Go. Now.” He rubbed her stomach for a few seconds before pulling away. “Stay with Impa, or Urbosa once she gets back. You don’t have to be alone, you just can't be here.” 
She nearly threw herself against the bars. "Link!" Tears began to pour down her face. "Don't leave me alone… please." 
Link ripped off his white undershirt, lovingly crafted by his late mother, and slipped it to Zelda. "Here… Tide yourself over with this…"
She brought it up to her nose and verified that it smelled like him. "But, Link…"
"You're my wife… what's mine is yours. And besides, you need it more than I do right now. You can give it back when this is all over. Now please go. I trust Impa to take care of you."
"Okay… just promise me you'll come back."
"I have, several times… but I promise again. I'm coming back." 
Zelda clutched his shirt to her chest and jogged back out of the Lockup. 
His cellmates crept up to where he was. "What was all that about?" 
Link slipped the Champion's Tunic back on. "Just doing what I need to do."
"Why would you promise her that you're getting out of here? How could you?" 
"Because we're married." He waited for the gasps to die down. "Once Gerudo Chief Urbosa brings all the proof of our legal marriage before the King, he'll have no choice but to set me free." He looked down at his anklet. 
"So… we're locked up in here with… our prince?"
"Pretty much."
"B-But how did you legally marry Princess Zelda? If King Rhoam had already banned such a relationship, how could you be so confident that it will stand binding in front of him?"
Link chuckled. "Oh, that's a long, convoluted story. But we have time, so let me tell you."
~~~~
"Princess! There you are!" Impa ran up to Zelda in the hallways of the castle. Where on Hylia's blessed land have you been?" 
Zelda began to cry again, snuggling her face into Link's shirt. 
"Princess, it's okay… it's okay…" She smelled Link on the fabric. "Wait. Where did you get this?" She tried to touch it, but Zelda stubbornly protected it. Impa's voice firmed accusingly. "You went and saw him!"
Her sobs became louder, she held one hand on her stomach and the other held the fabric to her chest. "I had to! I need him!"
Impa's anger dropped away. "Princess Zelda…" She stroked her shoulder gently. "It will be okay… Here, let's get you to your room; it's nice and quiet there, and I'll stay with you until Urbosa returns." She led her back to the room, then convinced her to change out of the armor into a loose silk dress. "If anyone tries to hurt you or the little descendant of Hylia, I will defend you. Please make yourself comfortable, you probably haven't been since the last time you trained at the Spring of Courage." 
"Okay… thank you, Impa."
"Of course, Your Highness. I'm always here for you." 
Zelda chose a long blue nightgown, completely lacking of a corset or any tight shapers, and slipped in. As she did so, her hands brushed the new curves of her stomach. The feeling made her weak in the knees, she grabbed onto the nearby dresser. "Impa! My knees have given out." 
"Oh!" She rushed over, helping Zelda over to her bed and laying her down. "Rest, Princess. You've had a stressful few days." 
"...Impa? Would you… mind?" She rolled over towards Impa and carefully showed off her tender bump. 
"You want a massage?"
"Yes… please."
Impa stepped closer to the bed and put her hands on Zelda's stomach, massaging carefully. "Oh… I can definitely feel the baby… They're a lot bigger than when we first scanned you…" She felt Zelda stiffen up. "Hey, Princess Zelda, relax."
"Father won't overturn Mother's pact to keep Link and I apart, will he?"
Massages changed to long strokes down Zelda's stomach. "In all honesty, I cannot see how he could. Your mother was a descendant of Hylia, a mere Hylian like your father cannot overturn her words. Besides, even if he could, we could definitely prove that his actions are intentionally causing harm to you, the last descendant. But I believe he will accept all of this after Urbosa returns. He does not need three more wars to fight.
"Will my baby get to meet their father?" 
"I believe he will be with you for the rest of this journey."
Zelda nuzzled into the mattress next to her head, ready for her husband to be with her again. "I long for him."
"Already? You couldn't have been apart for more than ten minutes."
"I need him to be here, Impa. You don't understand…" 
She felt something twist in Zelda's stomach. "I think I do. I'm going to call a doctor, just to make sure you're doing alright. Please try and sleep." Impa stepped outside, closing the door to keep threats out, spoke quickly with a nearby guard to request medical attention for the pregnant princess, and then returned.
Zelda was blinking slowly, beginning to drift to sleep. Impa repositioned Link's shirt in front of her nose; she snuggled up, sighed, and closed her eyes almost instantly. 
"Sleep well, Princess." Impa wished softly, laying a blanket over her. She sat down on the stool near Zelda's bed until the doctor arrived. 
She was an older, sweet-looking Sheikah woman, a healer badge on her arm and a few instruments in her possession. "Lady Impa, I'm here."
"Wonderful. Would you please check the princess over? She's not looking entirely well." 
"Of course." She walked over to the bed, looking at Zelda with her nose snuggled in Link's shirt. "I must have you know, I am not allowed to refer to Champion Link as her husband until the King has been given satisfactory evidence." 
"Of course. She was asking me earlier, and I would like another perspective, do you think His Majesty will find the evidence satisfactory? I attended their wedding, so I fear a little bias on my part."
"I believe that His Majesty will have no choice but to accept it if even a simple marriage license shows up. The pact between the queens was quite clear that Her Highness could receive any Gerudo ceremony Urbosa or her wished. Although a bit of a loophole, the Gerudo marriage ceremony is permitted under that pact. Because the ceremony was part of Gerudo law and not Hyrulean law, Urbosa had the authority to marry Zelda to whatever man she wished, no matter the tribe or occupation. If a Gerudo marriage document appears before him, that is proof enough." 
"I am glad to hear that. She will be too." 
"I must move his shirt to examine her. Do you think she'll react badly?" 
"Yes. She's incredibly stressed. Her Highness wouldn't settle until she had the Champion's undershirt. I fear removing it will cause her to lash out."
"I'm going to wake her then, so she won't panic as much." She shook Zelda softly, a pair of emerald eyes fluttered open. 
"I am truly sorry to wake you, Princess. I've been summoned to examine you, and I must move this shirt to do so." 
A heartbreaking whimper sounded before Zelda picked up the fabric, smelled it once more and slipped it under her pillow for later retrieval.
"Thank you… You can have it back in a little." She pulled out a stethoscope and slipped it under Zelda's dress. "Little heartbeat…" She stopped to feel Zelda's stomach. "Oh, I feel the womb. You are one hundred percent, without a doubt, pregnant, Your Highness. Do you have any idea how far along you are?" 
Zelda took a few gasping breaths. "Three months… I am three months."
"Well then, you feel normal; carrying pretty large though." 
"In your professional opinion, how big does she look?"
"About two months ahead. She really looks about five right now." She took the stethoscope off her stomach and moved to her back. "Your heart sounds good, is that baby putting pressure on your chest? Your breathing sounds a little strained." 
"It does?" Zelda took a few more deep breaths. "I would guess so then. I noticed I was always feeling out of breath, but I thought it was just because of the baby."
"It is, your body's so tiny, your growing baby's body is pressing against the rest of your organs. If you rest on your side, you'll be able to breathe easier." 
Zelda rolled over carefully. "Oh! Yes, this is much better!" She stretched herself out. 
"You already sound better." She turned to Impa. "Make sure she's eating well, and she doesn't need to be up and working unless she has to. I will tell His Majesty what we've found here. Congratulations, Princess Zelda. I would suggest meeting with a midwife now to discuss a special care plan." 
"Thank you so much." 
The doctor waved goodbye. 
"Well, now the little one is official." Impa looked at Zelda's bump. "I'm quite impressed with your ability to hide this. For you to look five months… and just now getting discovered, that's quite a feat."
"It was tiring…" Zelda pulled Link's shirt out from under the pillow and went back to sleep. 
~~~~
"Champion Link?" The doctor walked into the Lockup.
He had pressed himself up against the door of the cell, laying down but wide awake. "Yes? Who are you?"
"I'm a healer. I just came from examining Princess Zelda."
Link perked up, so did the other prisoners. "You did? How is she? Is she alright?" He grabbed her sleeve and yanked her towards him, concern and fear sparkling in his eyes. "How's our baby? Are they okay?"
She blinked in confusion. "You already know she's pregnant?"
"Yes! I've known for about two months now. Are they both okay?"
"I've asked Her Highness to meet with a midwife for a more reliable evaluation of her pregnancy, but she is doing alright. She's very stressed, however, and her body is already feeling pressure from the child. Her womb seems to be pushing up against her lungs."
His tears started falling down. "Will she be alright?" 
"All of Hyrule knows how much we need this child. We will take care of the Princess and ensure she delivers a healthy infant safely." She dried his tears. "You're sweet and tender-hearted… I can see why she fell in love with you." She unlatched the lock. "Now will you come here? His Majesty has demanded a health check on you." 
He approached slowly, looking around for anyone who would attack him. 
"You're both nervous wrecks aren't you?" She slid the door closed behind him before any of the other prisoners could get out. "Come up here, I won't bite." She chuckled a little at his uncharacteristic nervousness. 
They arrived at a private room where she examined him, finding him to be in perfect health aside from his nervousness and his few scratches. She took him back, then returned to King Rhoam. 
"You say both of them are in perfect health?"
"Perfect physical health, yes, Your Majesty. Her Highness needs a midwife to examine her overall health, as her pregnancy is confirmed. Champion Link is still shaken from his imprisonment." 
Rhoam sighed in displeasure. "This is a mess… and why is he so shaken? He knew of the consequences for pursuing an inappropriate relationship with my daughter!"
"He truly believed himself married to her, and he might be able to sense her unease." 
"But in even pursuing that marriage, he violated the highest laws of Hyrule!" 
"If Her Highness spoke the truth, then she believed she legally could marry any man she desired. By association, she believed she could pursue any of the steps needed to make that decision. Regardless of reason, all we can do is wait for Chief Urbosa's return." 
~~~~
Upon Urbosa’s return, she delivered all records to His Majesty, then made a beeline to the Lockup and Zelda’s bedroom. 
“I’m here, little bird…” She ran her hand up and down Zelda’s side, feeling her bump. “I’m here… It will be okay…” 
She cooed sleepily, responding more as Urbosa leaned towards her ear. 
“He wants you to know how much he loves you.” 
"Tell him I love him too… so much… and that I miss him…" 
"Of course, vehvi." She played with Zelda's long hair. "How are you feeling?"
"Stressed… kind of sick."
She pulled another blanket over. "Rest."
A maid knocked.  
"Enter!" Zelda called out, she stepped in. 
"Your Highness, His Majesty has announced that yours and Champion Link's trial will occur in two days. You have been asked to complete an evaluation with a midwife prior to then." 
Her voice shook under her breath. "Without him?" She glanced towards Urbosa.
"Thank you." Urbosa replied, watching the maid walk out. 
"I have to do that… without him?"
"Little bird… We'll do what we must in order to make your father happy… he is the one on the throne." 
She sighed, rubbing her stomach. "Okay…"
"We'll get it done tomorrow. For the rest of today, Impa and I will make sure you are not bothered. Please rest, and we are here to talk if you need us." Urbosa put a few pillows underneath Zelda to prop her up comfortably.
