I write my in depth thoughts about my brain for 18 paragraphs:

Okay, so... The other day I was thinking about the casual thought I’ve always had that I probably just live each day more or less understimulated. I was sort of aware that daredevils etc tend to have something like that which is what can lead to thrill seeking, so I never thought a lot about it. Like maybe it had autism link, idk. But I realized ‘hm, that’s actually kind of a specific thing to experience’ so was googling around This one thing that I found, which idk if it comes out of any research or just pure personal observation But it’s been stuck in my mind a bit Basically was putting ‘boredom’ as having 3 potential causes (if chronic?)

Keeping self from accessing emotions

Keeping self from having wants/desires (as a whole)

Understimulated, nothing new

And I pretty much fit all three in a sort of overwhelming way. The main issue being idk how to live without these things. So I’m going to go into excessive detail about it.

I think my biggest issue is the shut in thing, of course. I think a lot of the symptoms I have would be greatly reduced if not for that, and I’m planning to do what I can to help with it once it’s warmer out.

However, a lot of this started long before I was a shut in too, and it absolutely lines up with these things. That’s why I’m somewhat okay if this is just an observation vs super substantiated. It is like..... I have literally built the core of who I am around these things wjdnsjdjx

To me, the idea of doing literally anything that causes someone even momentary discomfort was always sort of unbearable. And the fact this little blurb mentioned that communicating your needs etc was important just

Hate that.

Don’t know if I can do that

The idea that existence necessitates inconveniencing and agitating others is something I really can’t handle.

To some degree I can handle if someone is annoyed with just who I am or whatever, because that’s all very passive

But if I say something that causes them to feel negatively, then I’ve just committed something quite bad. I know since I was probably like 4, I had this intense desire not to burden anyone I can’t really remember anything that lead me to conclusions about it, just that I remember having amnesia at the time Waking up and thinking ‘I can’t remember anything that came before today’

I doubt anything that bad happened, but I kind of spiral about things, so I imagine I probably overheard something and just who knows

But unconfirmed, it’s just my best guess

From this desire has essentially grown the fact I really refuse to communicate preferences about things. If something bothers me, I really don’t like to talk about it, particularly with offending parties

If I tell someone they did something that bothered me, they’ll feel bad or something, maybe even become self conscious

And for what? Something I can theoretically get over? Or even for something that shouldn’t bother me? If I do those things, I’m the offending party I hadn’t really realized it before now, but I guess ultimately I kind of just removed my ability to want many things

People often ask my preference on things and I just literally can’t generate one most the time

Thinking about communicating these kinds of things is actually impossible feeling. I’m not a very sympathetic person or anything, I feel guilt so rarely I often have trouble thinking of any time within recent years I did

Yet even so, I am /so/ very adverse to hurting anyone in these kinds of ways I think it has seemed like sin for a long time for me but beyond that, I don’t like the idea of changing how people act either. The unintended consequences will come back around and make it worse for me ultimately Which also I guess is not dissimilar to how I worsened cutting out my emotions.

While of course I always would reprimand myself for wanting things that involved someone else needing to change as like selfish and all that

And that they were 100% fine in what they were doing, and that wanting anything else was abhorrent of me

It’s also like Wanting was one thing, but emotions that came out of that were even more evil So if you’re told ‘no’ for something and feel sad about it: that’s evil. That's wrong. They have a right to say no and therefore being sad about it is infringing on them, is lacking gratitude, and shows selfishness etc. If they knew you were sad you’d be guilting them which is also evil because then they have to feel bad also

So generally in my youth I trained myself out of these kinds of responses through self bullying and such. I haven’t resorted to that since hs probably But even up to recently, I realize I kind of came to hate things like ‘hope’. Eagerness and excitement. I’ve always driven myself to accept what I get and try to never ask for more. So acceptance of circumstances is generally second nature to me now. Be content in all circumstances. Which is to say, the idea that something could improve causes me considerable pain. Because it won’t improve. As far as things involving other people go, they simply never have improved. So holding onto the idea that they could just hurts a lot more than accepting this is the way things are.

Honestly getting excited for anything is just waiting for punishment. There is nobody in my life who is particularly reliable Not in the ways that do anything but disappoint where ‘excitement’ is concerned anyways. I know I very often have thought ‘that’s what you get for being excited’ when inevitably things fail to happen. As far as my memory goes, the ratio is quite literally 100% on the things I get excited for not happening Now we know this is faulty because I have emotional amnesia, so if it was ever fulfilled, I wouldn’t remember it. It’s only because I think verbally about disappointment that it is able to be remembered

Even so, I don’t love how often it happens even with mostly cutting out feelings like ‘excitement’ from most of my life by now

But you literally can’t tell people this. Nobody is really to blame for intentionally causing harm, so what? Cause pain by saying it sucked? I don’t see it as good. It can’t change anything, it can only make things worse. I realize by now my view of myself is essentially that of a liability. Can’t cause good in others, but can absolutely cause harm. I was in the pit again on the topic not that long ago, but God again saved me from committing to self isolation further

I still don’t fully know what good I’ll be to anybody, but God communicated to keep trying, so I guess He might still do something through me, so why not

This does not however fill me with motivation to communicate wants with people. This does not fill me with motivation to be vulnerable. Because there is no risk reward about it. There is a 0% chance of reward. It is all pain. Essentially what I would stand to gain if I ever healed my emotional weirdness is that maybe I could like things again, or form opinions about preference better It essentially isn’t a great deal in my mind. Trade out general contentment to be hurt repeatedly (and go to sin out of that) I can’t really do much about my environment either. Conflicting needs suck.

My parents are going like blind and deaf, so there’s nothing for it, but it’s like All the lights outside of my room are now painful to be around for very long. Everything got painted white so it also reflects way harder (and in general is ugly). Fridge now has blinding lights in it so I can’t see the top shelf All the devices are so loud and generally unpleasant noises

The shut in stuff has made me more sensitive to the sounds of survival like breathing and eating and so on, so that I can’t really stand being in the same room as people very often

And I can hear so much from across the house and I do what I can to drown it out, but I’m sure these measures are offensive

The temperature is always bad and uncomfortable I wait for summer just so I can sit outside basically all day because it’s a lot more livable vs inside

Food stuff keeps leaning to a lot of things that disgust me compared to before. It’s like I still consider my living situation very fortunate and stuff, and a lot of generosity has been extended to me

But it’s something that impacts every day and I have to monitor everything. I can’t be in the same room with people. If not for the sounds then for the lights, I have to carefully listen around to see if people are in the other rooms before I can plan out what I might do People tend to find it all funny.

It isn’t funny

I don’t like how people dismiss me now I don’t like how people don’t believe me now I’ve idly complained about some things, but am I going to make issues out of these things? No. It’s not my house. These things make it so other people can function. I can’t actually change peoples views of me, I can only make them see me as a nuisance, a killjoy, weak

The things that are known like me having to check silverware for several minutes to find something I’m willing to eat with are just things to view me as less for

Why would I talk about it If I tell people that things bother me, I become someone dangerous. I become a risk. Maybe even worse is becoming a novelty

Being bothered by things, to me, seems immoral I’ve put in a lot of work to never be bothered

And the thing I never admit to is that yes. It does apply to everyone. A good 70% of the standards I have for myself I do have for others too. But I can’t be mad at people for not getting it right, so generally I have instead considered that this puts more responsibility on me: someone who can actually handle things

This is of course not fair to people, but like.... it is what it is. And obviously, other people having so much more emotional needs and so many more problems and trauma and grief and (nobody is ever okay) means that I am even further a liability. I can’t afford to have problems or talk about issues (caused by them) because I will put someone over the edge and never know it.

But don’t worry, I also can’t help anyone.

And don’t worry there’s no hope anyways.

Nothing. Changes. For. The. Better.

Acceptance is the only way, except I’m the only one who can come to terms with any of it. Nobody else will or can. So how am I meant to tell anybody anything. How can I afford to let myself feel anything when there’s really never going to be a safe outlet for that. I’m still unclear, but I think probably most of this is something like OCD but idk how to view anything much diff

And the understimulated thing: obviously being shut in. Easy. I don’t challenge myself much in general though, so I should probably do that at least

Anyways, I always say stuff like this on tumblr because I literally am not going to unload this toxic waste anywhere else. And I’ve already had forms of it sitting in my mind for like 15 years anyways. It will go out into the world Somewhere, so here is good. I think probably it would be right that dealing with these 3 things would be ideal to be able to feel stuff normally again but honestly The cost is steep I don’t really want to

I don’t really know if I can afford to

For sure none of it makes me like ~a better person~ I think most people would interpret this as me being worse if they read it through. It is nothing that new to me. I don’t fully get how other people go their whole lives thinking so diff honestly. I’d say good for them because in theory they will experience the fullness of life then, but honestly they seem a lot worse off

Church was interesting to me in that during the sermon, it was mentioned how we tend to try and do everything on our own power without relying on God etc

And for sure, I have that in the weight I put on my errors

It isn’t as though God doesn’t work through these things as well

It isn’t as though I really can be perfect

Of course if I think about praying directly on matters like this, it’s actually terrifying I don’t really trust my interpretation of the world to be so correct that I could determine this line of thinking was bad. I’d be wrong somehow. I’d be asking for something bad when this was actually the right thing. So mostly sticking to things like guidance and wisdom requests because God knows the answer (Surely everything always has just the 1) /s

I guess it’s more I didn’t see the need to preemptively talk negatively about a very unconfirmed casting decision. I agree she’s younger than what I’d like to see for Alys, but I don not think that was the issue when these same groups of fans fancast JBF and Phoebe Tonkin. Idk if Helaemonds are talking about this, there was more noise on that side about the cheese casting. Iirc there was some pushback about the content of Emily’s audition (which is obviously only an audition and not the final script) and some comments about her appearance, the same as people do to this actress. I just don’t see the point when these fans are the ones saying how fans of other Aemond ships will come after whoever is cast as Alys

well, idk, i would be weary as a general rule to associate any kind of negative talk with this expectation of real life flaming or attacking the actress on social media. i mean, everyone is allowed their likes and dislikes in media, surely? not liking certain actors and preferring others is not a crime and shouldn't be policed either. i'm sure everyone has actors they just don't like for whatever reason, including silly stuff like not liking their mannerisms or how they enunciate the letter T.

idk, i just don't want us to get into that ridiculous space in which people are not allowed to dislike anything about alys' portrayal on screen, it would veer too much into black-mirror zone. like people are looking for any pretext, no matter how flimsy, to flame helaemonds some more. as in - this user happens to not vibe with the actress they chose? definitely must mean they're a crazy hater who's gonna make her life miserable by engaging in online harassment. that shouldn't be people's first reaction or assumption, is what i'm trying to say

this is not to justify people who develop weird fixations because show!alys doesn't live up to the fanon version they already built in their heads. it's simply to point out that the conversation Q: "would you like to see X in the role of alys?"; A: "no" is pretty middle-of-the-road and normal and completely different from (as a recent example) that situation with the blonde girl (grace?) from stranger things.

i confess this is the first time i've seen this lady in my life and i did not have the time to perform a market research on helaemond nation to determine the vibes on her, as i've had a long day at work today + champions league night. so idk how they reacted to her. so far on tumblr i've seen absolutely nothing. as far as emily is concerned, i've had anons inform me at the time that some people were really not happy with her, but they identified those users as alysmonds. the reason given to me was that she was too OLD (a 38 yo woman, mind you). what i wanted to say and, perhaps should have clarified, is that i personally haven't seen with my own two eyes anything bad on any potential alys actress from the few (maybe 5?) helaemond accounts i sometimes check on twitter. we are a micronation anyway so if there are nasty helaemonds out there, i do not encourage that, but i do have to ask how many users are we talking about anyway for this to be a real problem? since there's few of us already. i rarely see helaemond content on my own timeline even though i've advertised myself like crazy, i still can't seem to find many citizens to follow. let alone crazy helaemond rants going off the rails

also, like, i feel that i have to point out that i have no idea re: the shipping preferences of the accounts you showed me, i inferred they were helaemonds from how you approached the topic

Anonymous asked: I feel bad, I don’t mean to be arguing in your ask! Please feel free to delete if inclined. Sometimes the vibes get to me 😭 But no excuse.

i assume this is from the same anon, so my answer is don't worry about it. people rant to me about all kinds of stuff like you wouldn't believe :))

also we beat chelsea 2-0 so all's well when it ends well 😃

ahh tbh, this was some years ago, and I had pretty BIG culture shock living in Minnesota, so I'm not sure about recommendations for food.. but near the school, everyone loved Shish, the Mediterranean restaurant (until there were unconfirmed rumors that the owner was sexist??). We went to a place called Blue Door (that just closed...) to eat special burgers called juicy lucys!! Those were good. I majored in Japanese and Sociology! I loved allll my Japanese profs. In Sociology, my fave was Eric Larson. I studied abroad in Japan, but I didn't go on Mac's pre-approved programs, I instead applied to another program called KCJS to go to Doshisha U in Kyoto. My best friend did the CET Osaka program. I heard BAD things about the Sofia Uni. one, and less than stellar reviews for Nanzan. We didn't want to go to Tokyo, so we got approved for those other programs (and we both had AMAZING times). If you decide you want to go to Tokyo, try for the Waseda program since it's the most prestigious! (and therefore more accountability for quality!! I heard it's really good.) Tips to live in Minnesota: Be mentally and clothing-prepared for the winters!!! Consider making a close Minnesotan friend you can spend the long Thanksgiving weekend with. As much as possible, travel with a friend if you need to go to Frogtown for any reason. There are lots of amazing Asian restaurants scattered across the Twin Cities, so if you like that, make friends with upperclassmen in the Asian culture-focused student orgs. Visit the Mall of America, Como Zoo and Conservatory!!, the St. Paul Cathedral, the Minneapolis Museum of Art, and the Science Museum. um um, and at Mac: If you're spiritual at all, take advantage of the chapel because it's gorgeous. The First Year Course is serious business because they become your first step into making friends. I took part in a pre-orientation program called Ametrica...there might be other pre-orientation programs...but those can also really set you up with friends before the school year even starts! idk, just I hope you meet and make friends with all sorts of people!!!!💗

AHHHH this is so sweet that you answered all my questions omg i’ll reply under the ‘keep reading’ !!

first of all when you said blue door i for SURE thought you were talking about blue’s egg which is a restaurant here and i was like :O they have blue’s there?

japanese and sociology are such a cool combo for majors !! i’m thinking of double majoring international studies and spanish and then maybe minor in women’s gender, sexuality, etc. + an interdisciplinary of human rights and humanitarianism ??? but i’m def starting out undeclared since i am unsure of what i want my career to be !!!

also i def will have to research more abt where i want to go specifically !! being indigenous/mexican... but also mistaken for middle eastern/arab i’d prefer not to go to an area that is notoriously racist or smthn T_T like in ecuador there was a weird stigma against venezuelan immigrants and tension w ecuadorians but luckily they seemed to like americans? or rather .... like latine ppl that were american haha

i’m actually from wisconsin so the weather won’t be too different from where i have lived my whole life thus far!! but i can see how making a minnesotan friend would be beneficial.. esp since plane/bus/train tickets don’t grow on trees !!

i will definitely make note of all these places and try to visit them all !!! the only one i’ve gone to is mall of america and all i remember is 1. hating the tmnt ride 2. loooooving the spongebob roller coaster

also i will definitely check out pre-orientation programs !!! tbh i was thinking about applying to the bonners program since i fit a lot of the requirements but the way that people are all like Very accomplished and i have been ... not sm... just kind of discouraged me from applying :/ plus like with me being first gen it’s kind of complicated because they consider first gen any students whose parents didn’t get bachelors degrees....but a lot of prev members of the program seem to be the first in their family while i would be the third in my family to go.... idk :( still kind of unsure abt it but i don’t think i would necessarily need it ?

ahhhh and if you have read through all this ! just one last question, do you remember any certain campus jobs to stay away from? i qualify for work-study and the money it would save... makes me intrigued abt where to work but also... i don’t know if i would thrive in the dining hall or smthn where there would be a lot of eyes watching me ???

seriously thank you for being so kind and informative !!! i’ve alr mutually followed 30+ incoming mac students and hopefully i can soon muster up some courage and message some ppl !!!

#nonmb #non mb #i hope you are having a good day/night btw!#sorry for the delayed response i was studying !

SO I DID A THING…

This is basically a timeline of major events in OMGCP That I created, at first to help myself, but then I decided “why not post it? Other people may find it helpful”. Not going to lie, the Check Please timeline can be a little confusing, considering the comic is still taking place in 2016. Obvs that’s not Ngozi’s fault bc the updates take time, so it’s understandable that the comic isnt present day… anyways I’ve done extensive research on the following information. And I’m like 95% sure that it’s all correct but some things are speculation and assumptions. I’ve used blog posts, tweets, and the actual comic to figure out the below information. It’s not a big deal and maybe it doesn’t matter to you, but idk it really interests me and maybe it will interest others????? Like I said before, a lot of this is speculation so FEEL FREE to correct me on any false info. ALSO!!! If any of you have links to the canon confirmation of some of the things that I’m not 100% sure about, PLEASE link them to me. FINALLY, if anyone wants me to link them to some of my references for this, then just ask and I’ll be more than happy to send you them. So with that: these are (what I consider) to be the major events in the time line of Check Please! Hope I got it all right!

**Edit!!!!: I messed this up originally. I screwed up some birth years and now I’m back to fix them. So don’t be alarmed if you reblogged this and now its different. Im like 99% sure that I’m changing it to all true info.

Birthdays

Jack- 1990 (birthday august 3)

Kent Parson-1990 (birthday july 4)

Holster-1991 (birthday unknown)

Shitty-1992 (birthday dec 19)

Ransom-1993 (birthday march 28. I am very confused because according to the wiki, ransom was born in 1994. However, a tweet from Bitty on March 28th, 2015 says “happy 22 birthday rans!” which would place his birth year in 93. Also a very early piece of artwork says that ransom is 20 in the beginning of his sophomore year, which further indicates being born in 93. Long story short? Don’t believe everything you read on the wiki)

Lardo- 1994??? (birthday unknown but according to the wiki, Lardo is currently 23 years old as of April 1st, 2018 (when I’m writing this). However the wiki can not always be trusted. We know her birthday is around Ransoms but we don’t know when exactly. Her and Rans has a combined birthday party (Keagster) on Easter Sunday 2015 (which technically was April 5, 2015….Idk if I should be that technical but whatever) so I’m kind of assuming that her birthday is around Late March/Early April….as for her birth year? All we are told is that she is a sophomore with rans and holster. so I’m assuming that she was born in 94 because its the easiest assumption to make, but i could always be wrong)

Bitty: 1995 (birthday may 5)

Nursey: 1996 (birthday feb 14. There is not a ton of supporting info that suggests Nursey was born in 1996. The wiki’s reference is a tweet from Ngozi, replying to a private account so I cannot view the tweet. Basically I don’t have a great argument for Nursey being born in 1996 so once again, I’m ASSUMING. Please send me any info that you have on Nurseys birth)

Dex: 1995??? (Birthday October 26/27, I’ve seen both dates. However I’ve yet to find ANY canon confirmation that either of these dates are his birthday. Everyone just kind of says that its his birthday?? Idk if anyone has canon info or something please link me to it because I can literally not find anything about Dex’s birth. Also its been pointed out to me that he could be born late in 1995, however I originally assumed he was born late in 1996. It depends on wether he was held back a year or pushed forward.I have no clue it honestly could be either.)

Chowder: 1995?? 1996?? (October 11. I’ve seen people on tumblr saying it’s on the 10?? Idk according to Bitty’s tweets its on the 11th. Also the birth years?? Its the same situation as Dex… He could either be born in 95 and held back a year, or 96 and pushed foward )

2008: Jack and Kent are both 18, playing in the Q

Spring 2009: Jack and Kent win memorial cup. Jack overdoses. Kent is drafted to the Aces.

Fall 2009-Spring 2011: Jack is in rehab/ coaching peewee/taking SATs

Spring 2011: Aces win cup( Ngozi tweeted saying that Jack enters Samwell after the Aces win the cup, If Jack graduates in 2015, then he entered SMH in Fall 2011, therefore the Aces winning in Spring 2011)

Fall 2011:Jack enters samwell (21) Along with shitty (18, turning 19 in dec) (grad class 2015)

Spring 2012: SMH is in the ECAC and are knocked out at some point after the first round. Jack is named captain for the 2012-13 season

Fall 2012: Ransom (19) , Holster (21), and Lardo (18) all enter samwell (grad class 2016)

Fall 2012-Spring 2013: Now this is all kind of fuzzy. Sometime between the Aces winning the cup(Spring 2011) and before Bitty enters Samwell (Fall 2013), Kent Parson comes to the haus to visit Jack. However we can assume it happened at some point during Jacks sophomore year (Fall 2012- Spring 2013) because in a blog post (or was it one of Bitty’s tweets? I can’t remember. Anyways) Holster says that “He [Kent] remembered my major” so clearly it was sometime after Holster, Rans, and Lardo all enter samwell, and were there to meet KP. Unless KP visited during Jack’s freshman year and Holster was just there for some reason??? Seems unlikely and unnecessarily complicated. So let’s just say that KP came during Jacks soph year)

Fall 2013: Bitty (our beautiful ray of sunshine) enters Samwell (18) along with minor characters, Ollie and Wicks (grad class 2017)

Spring 2014: Samwell knocked out of ECAC championship. Johnson graduates and Bitty gets his dibs

Fall 2014: Nursey (18), Dex (17??18???once again, unconfirmed), and Chowder (17??18??) (aka the frogs) all enter Samwell (grad class 2018). Jack (now 24) is looking to be drafted. Kent (also 24) shows up at Epikegster (December 2014). Bitty (now 19) has crush on Jack. (I really don’t know why I included their ages in this part I just sometimes forget how old Jack actually is)

Spring 2015: Shitty is accepted to Harvard Fucking Law. SMH makes it to final four championship, but loses. Jack signs with the Falconers. Ransom and Holster are made Co-Captains for the 2015-16 season. Jack (24) and Shitty( 22) graduate. Lardo and Chowder get their dibs. Jack and Bitty kiss after graduation.

Summer 2015: Jack spends 4th of July with Bitty in Georgia. Later that summer they start dating.

Fall 2015: Whiskey and Tango (tadpoles) enter Samwell along With Ford (grad class 2019) Jack and Bitty tell the team about their relationship (December)

Spring 2016 (as of April 1st, 2018, the comic is currently taking place in Spring 2016): Jack is given an A on the Falcs (assistant/alternate captain). Ford is appointed as manager for the 2016-17 season. SMH is knocked out of ECAC tournament in the first round. Bitty is made captain for the 2016-17 season. Lardo(22), Ransom(23),and Holster (24??25?? depends on his birthday.) all graduate. Nursey, Dex, Ollie, and Wicks all get dibs. Bitty turns 21. The Falcs win the cup. Jack and Bitty kiss and come out to the world.

Currently Jack and Kent are both 26, Holster is 24??25?? (Like I said I don’t know when his exact birthday is. If his birthday is after the events of the year 3 finale, then he would still technically be 24) Shitty is 24, Ransom is 23 and Lardo is 22, Bitty is 21, Nursey is 20, and Chowder and Dex could both either be 19 or 20 (like I said i still don’t know whether they are 95′ babies or 96′ babies, since I only have birthdates and not canon birth years. ALSO!! It should be noted that since there are no canon birth years for Chow or Dex (at least that I know of), there is no way to be certain of their ages. I mean, theoretically, Chowder could be older than Bitty, and just entered college late. Same with Dex. But just to make thing easier on myself, I’m going to assume that all of the frogs are around the same age.)

The comic is currently taking place in 2016, two years behind real time. IF it was present day (April 1st, 2018) in the comic then

Jack: 27

Kent: 27

Bitty: 22

Ransom: 23

Holster:24/25 (depending on his bday)

Shitty: 23

Lardo: 23/24 (depending on her bday)

Nursey: 22

Dex: 21/22

Chowder: 21/22

Now Bitty’s tweets….

At first I was really really really really confused about how Bitty’s tweets work in the timeline. But Its actually really simple??. Bitty’s tweets start in June 2014, basically right after the end of Bitty’s freshman year. They pretty much all follow the correct timeline (the most recent tweets are from May 2016, about Rans, Holster, and Lardos graduation). Basically if you see a tweet, the date stamp on it correlates directly to the comic. I’m not sure if Ngozi just had the entire comic figured out two years ago, and tweeted everything back in 2016 (which seems far fetched) OR if Ngozi just changed the date on her computer back to 2016 and then sent out the tweets (which seems much more likely. Still, this is all speculation ). It doesn’t really matter though because regardless, the tweets line up with the timeline. I HIGHLY recommend reading all of Bitty’s tweets before Ngozi locks the account again for year 4. They add so much more to the story and are basically just extra details that make the comic even more immersive.

And I’m pretty sure that’s it?? Until of course year 4…. but yeah once again don’t take my word as law. Also, like I said already, if I got something wrong, please just let me know. Also if I said something confusing, just ask. :)
