I wrote this in my discord server and then posted on twitter. Time to annoy here as well, HEEHOO!
Jax's Personality Swap AU!
DAMN PIPELINE: Kody > Huxley > Gavin > Damien > Lasko > Kody
NOTE: Since this is a personality swap, these characters are gonna be out of character, but Huxley will still remained as a supporting character, while Kody is still not (only personality change, not roles)! Typing this just to avoid confusion!
Damien > Lasko:
Tired Air Elemental:
- he is tired
- looks older than he actually is, its the wrinkles and white hair
- bro doesnt sleep
- not really mean, he just sounds really monotone and had the same expression
- "you all are idiots, why do i hang out with you"
- "you have 99/100. you can do it next time"
- he has trust issues and has hard time opening up
- he means well when you get to know him
- "i try to push you to your limits, because i believe you can surpass them... i'm sorry, i didnt mean to break your boundaries"
- still a dnd nerd but more of a dungeon master with ton of research for his homebrew campaign
——————
Gavin > Damien:
Daring Fire Elemental:
- more of a risk taker in a rebellious bad boy way? Outside of the academy

- "are you lost, precious?"
- smiles all the time in a warm way
- "well, look at you, what a snack. are you cold? i can warm you up."
- very smart but doubts himself
- awkward with physical contact
- tries to be seen as overly attractive and an attention seeker to hide his emotional vulnerability

——————
Kody > Huxley:
Distant Earth Elemental:
- is not very friendly in the beginning
- trust issues! My favorite /j
- he can be a meanie :(
- "why do we keep bumping into each other?"
- freelancer does not give up
- "i can take care of myself, i am not that stupid" he sounded hurt...
- he misses his moms,,,
- he wants to fit in, but since people think he is stupid because he is an earth elemental, he decided to do the opposite and be alone by himself
- the only friend he had was Lasko but they fought they last time they saw each other
- "you actually like me, didnt you? what am i doing, why do i wanna hurt you so bad? im supposed to be your friend" - spinel from steven universe the movie
——————
Huxley > Gavin:
Oblivious Incubus:

Cheesy rivals
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
. Experiencing rivals to lovers with Spinel and Amethio, Romance
First 2 character ask, I love you vamp anon Amethio's was longer I am guilty of being an Amethio lover(not in a weird way he just is so cool) - 🦇
Warning : Cheesy, Spinel may be out of character
Tumblr media
Spinel
Rivals - Spinel was so annoyed when he almost got the pendant by manipulating Liko with his Pokemon then you appear and start acting loke superman, breaking Liko from the hyonosis was his last straw where he just started spamming moves on you and your pokemon. He didn't even care about Liko at this point he was just doing this because he's petty.
Softening up - Spinel stopped hating you which is good, but did you stop hating Spinel? We don't know, he started becoming less mean and snarky to you, always tells his Pokémon to hit the other RVT members. Even his Umbreon started liking you
Liking you - He was shocked himself, like how would he the most greatest and best person in the Explorers fall inlove with a weakling like you who is part of that annoying brats group but it happened so...
Lovers - Spinel becomes a total different person no forced snarky look, but he's smug about it. Like when you start scolding him for attacking Liko he's like "You wanna kiss me so bad it's funny"
Tumblr media
Amethio
Rivals - Amethio is a different stories he also hated your guts, but he never hid the fact that he did. Amethio was bold and made it CRYSTAL CLEAR that he hated you more than you hated him. To him you're just another nuisance to him from his success, especially from that pendant.
He secretly becomes more competitive like purposely aiming at you in a battle with Friede
Softening up - nothing noticeable really changed about Amethio he is still cold dull Amethio. What did change a little is his gaze this may sound cheesy, but his gaze becomes softer when you're around, like when he's stalking the airship and randomly finds you walking alone with your pokemon his gaze can't help but soften. Until Konia and Zir said "Boss you alright?" He starts acting professional again.
Liking you - He knew it, but he would never admit it. Amethio is stubborn and thinks things like that are unimportant, so he put his feelings aside and just treated you like a normal Explorers member. It failed after 6 months, but he still didn't have the boldness to do that. You confessed first.
Lovers - Amethio is still quiet and closed nothing changes, nobody noticed anything your top excuses to go walk with him is "I'm gonna go adventure for a while" . In private he's less cold, and treats you like an actual partner instead of just being "A RVT MEMBER" he's not a fan of PDA like Spinel, maybe someday he will be comfortable with that. Amethio is a busy bee, and his old rival being his lover is one of the things he can't process yet.

Could you perhaps write an Amethio x Ghost Specialist! Reader,?
(Reader probably can communicate with them kinda like the gym leader Alister-? Idk, I think it'd be intresting as Amethio has a Ceruledge,)
Tumblr media
a/n: combining these two reqs since they’re so similar.
Tumblr media
Amethio x Ghost Specialist! Reader
Tumblr media
you’ve always found solace in the presence of your ghost-type friends, as they’ve always been there to keep you company.
perhaps because of that, you developed a similarity and particular affinity for ghost-types in battle.
like you said, Amethio has some (limited) knowledge of ghost types because of his Ceruledge, so he’s not as put off by you as some would be.
(Though, that may be because he’s more interested in having a battle with you.)
If you’re particularly shy or cover your face with a mask, he’s not the type to make a big deal of it.
He’ll definitely want to have a match if you also have a Ceruledge.
You do give him a heart attack sometimes, though. You and your pokemon are deadly silent and oftentimes he swears you pop out of nowhere behind him.
He gets used to it after a while though, but he’s still a little unnerved.
Your pokemon probably play tricks on him. It’s a little annoying but at the same time endearing.
He’s also baffled you can communicate with them but adjusts eventually.
Now waking up in the middle of the night with you in the corner of the room, shrouded in total darkness while you mutter back and forth with a Banette that wandered in? That, he doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to.
Tumblr media
Spinel x Ghost Specialist! Reader
Tumblr media
Good luck scaring this man. Even if he can’t keep track of you like he normally would, he has a sixth sense for when you’re skulking about.
You try to sneak up to him while he’s busy working and he just says “Hello, my dear,” without even turning around to look at you.
Also, his Umbreon is also constantly aware of your presence.
You were a bit worried about how your pokemon would take to his, due to the type difference, but after the initial wariness wore off they get along pretty well.
Every so often Spinel will send you a photo of your Mimikyu and his Umbreon cuddling.
He finds it fascinating that you can speak to your companions. He kind of wishes he could do the same with his.
He might tease or make a comment if you hide your face, but it’s lighthearted, and he’s quick to stop if he thinks he’s genuinely upset you.
Spinel’s not unnerved by any of your more unusual behaviors, but he’s also not the most normal guy himself, despite the facade he presents to others.
“Spinel, Gengar says he wants to go on a walk in the graveyard.”
“That’s nice, dear. Have fun.”

there is a LOT i could say about HZ044 but since i'm biased i'm going to talk about something to do with dot again for right now
Tumblr media
now obviously dot kicked ass this episode and that's awesome but i'm emotional because she finally got to take on spinel (or well, something he made anyway) head-on and succeed.
in HZ015, when liko gets her memories wiped, her desire to find and save liko is what gets her out of her room for the first major time in the show, which is great! but while the gurumin & iono collab livestream is what causes the domino effect that leads to liko gaining her memories back, ultimately liko recovers her memories on her own. and then in HZ016, dot gets cornered by spinel and her only option to save herself is to shoot off an SOS signal with quaxly's water gun and hope that liko and roy see it. once they're there, they fight together, but dot is definitely not strong enough to take that on by herself yet. she walks away from the events of those episodes feeling awful about falling for the targeted misinformation and putting liko in even more danger, and this follows her for a long time, too:
not only is she incredibly angry with herself at the time, but 12 episodes later in HZ027 she once again self-deprecates and expresses anger towards herself for messing up - interestingly she mentions that she put liko in danger before despite the events of HZ027 not really being all that serious, and it's pretty obvious that HZ015/016 are Haunting Her and a source of insecurity (they're surrounded by the rest of the RVT and she was just supposedly meeting up with someone for information about rayquaza)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
of course at the end of HZ027 she has that gay peptalk with liko where liko reassures her she's doing a good job,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that seems to help quite a bit with her confidence moving forward! but even so she never really got to "settle the score" in any way. you can tell from how dot talks about spinel being mentioned that she still holds a lot of resentment towards him for endangering liko - she talks about him with a sense of bitterness that isn't present for the rest of the crew
HZ015, after finding out that spinel probably erased liko's memories with his beheeyem:
Tumblr media
and HZ044, after getting the opportunity to maybe assist with stopping spinel's plans:
Tumblr media
the insults and the sentiment of never forgiving - even now after all her growth she fucking hates this guy and what he did to liko, and now she's determined to make up for it. and unlike before when she was getting aimlessly mad at herself and needed liko to pick her up and reassure her, now she was actually able to make a plan and follow through and it works out - she succeeded at doing what she set out to do and wasn't led astray.
murdock is in tears and worried but he recognizes his niece's confidence and chooses to trust her (something i'm still really emotional about after all of dot's growth in recent episodes)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and again, she fucking does it! she destroys the machine that spinel made to call and weaken rayquaza by her own hand with software she wrote herself
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and at the end of it all she gets a moment to see liko's face and hear her voice approving her after she succeeds, and uh. well
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah suffice to say she's happy about it but flustered about showing it. this is not how you look at a girl you don't have a crush on lmfao
anyway shit hits the fan shortly after but that's not her fault and she did successfully stop rayquaza from being captured by the explorers and potentially causing more mayhem or damage to the RVT and liko. and she gets that recognition from liko herself at the end. iconic of her it's crazy how far she has come

Here's an idea: An Adam'sApple short story based off of Steven Universe: The Movie, where Spinel breaks down, realizing that she's trying to hurt Steven, the one person who wanted to help her out of everyone else she knew. Adam being Spinel and Lucifer being Steven. Except it's not wanting to be a friend; Adam wanted someone to love again and love him back, just like his ex-wives did.
Adam: What. What have I done!?
Lucifer: Adam....
Adam: All I wanted was for you to love me! Love me like you loved her! *He starts crying*
Lucifer walks over and picks Adam up bridal style.
Lucifer: I do love you
Adam, sniffing: You do?
Lucifer: Yes.~ Let's clean this mess up, hmm?

Random Laughing Jack hcs
lil something something for me to write out since i got time to kill and boredom is getting to me this is mixed bag of hcs, from general ideas to shipping stuff really short list, mostly just me dropping ideas that idk where else to put them so!!! also im making shrimp tonight! kinda nervous since i never cooked shrimp before, but im determined!! (i fucking love shrimp)
Tumblr media
first things first he walks around with his hands up, like. trex hands. he just like me frfr
^looks a lil.. uncanny? off? since he has really long noodle arms
obviously he can extend the length of his arms, he likes snaking his arms all over you during hugs/cuddles
hes very warm, like in comforting way! makes cuddling during cool days feel nice!
soft.... like hes just soft all over, if that makes sense. like his cheeks are soft, his chest is soft, his hair is soft, ect ect. a little odd since hes not particularly.. thick.. perhaps its some funky imaginary friend logic
speaking of, i feel like not a lot of people utilize that idea enough, like-
hes an imaginary friend AND a clown! make him silly! make him able to pull random objects out of nowhere (COUGH COUGH HIS CANDY COUGH COUGH), let him be able to move all whacky (ex; i like to think he can do the same things spinel from SU can! for those who dont know look up the scene from the movie where she first shows up!), i want this man to comically float through the air when he smells pie!!! i want the scary killer clown to retain some of his goofy wonder from his rainbow days!!!

🤖"Reign of Donnie 0!"💜 Part dos, the conclusion!
Tumblr media
🔨Donnie x female reader🧪
°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°
Hey peoples. Thank you all for waiting so long. Please enjoy this big conclusion. And once again, because everyone's adulting, there is a smidge of suggestive talk. Only a smidge, though! Pt 1
°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°
• Day 25
• "Donnie, c'mon!"
• "Mr. Murakami gonna make us pizza themed ramen!"
• Raph called from outside. Donnie sighed. He couldn't think about pizza delicacies right now. Why do you want him to snuff out smaller threats!? Of course, it's a good idea but... He thought you wanted him home. He wants to be back at home with you.
• "D?"
• The oldest walked into his part of the tank. (A perfect replica of his lab)
• "Why the long face? We're going home in a few days."
• Donnie sighed dramatically and slammed his face on his desk.
• "Oh-ho, I know that sound of anguish."
• Leo's in on the convo now.
• "Someone's having trouble with the future missis."
• His twin grumbled. He's...right. Donnie lifted up his phone to show the voicemail.
• "She...thinks we should stay longer to squash anymore threats."
• The brothers looked at each other.
• "That's it?"
• They said. The softshell gasped.
• "That's it!?"
• He shot up from his rolly chair.
• "She is my peanut butter and I am her jelly, existing without each other isn't something we enjoy."
• "So her throwing away the golden opportunity to reunite, is hurting my feelings!"
• Quietness. Now supes embarrassed, he sighs and melts back into his seat. (Y'know like Spinel did.) Raph looked around and put his hand on younger brother's head.
• "Okay...good job on spilling your guts, buddy."
• Donnie tucked into his knees.
• "Aww, cheer up. It'll only be a few more days."
• "We can catch the other baddies then."
• Raph said, attempting to lighten the mood. But, all it was doing was giving D a headache. Literally, Raph's hand is heavy. Leo scoffed.
• "Uh, how? It took us months just to pinpoint these guys."
• "They're probably PLENTY more evil organizations in this country."
• Leo got shoved into a nearby shelf.
• "Leo, we're trying to make him feel better."
• The oldest snapped. The blue twin muttered 'I'm just being saying.' as he got up. That gave Raph a lightbulb.
• "I got it!"
• "Let's take over Japan!"
• The twins looked at each other.
• "Huh?"
• Day 27
• You laid on the couch, staring at your phone. Meanwhile, Donnie 0 was vacuuming the floor with said couch over his shoulder. (Super strength was one of his many abilities.) You sighed. Why hasn't Donnie called you back yet? He always does, even if he's getting his arms twisted back. He hasn't responded to any of the memes you sent either. Is he over cats stuffed in shoes now?
• "Y/N."
• You looked down at your bot.
• "This task is complete."
• You gave him a little nod and looked back at your phone. You sent your live Donnie another message.
• Thinking about you 🥺
• You sighed. Is he hurt or something? Captured!? If he is, your taking the FIRST plane to Japan-
• Suddenly, the couch fell down. Making you shriek.
• "Apologies, my sweet,"
• Donnie 0 said, while looking over his limbs.
• "My arm joint got stuck."
• You laughed weakly.
• "No prob, Bob."
• He bent down and poked your nose.
• "I'm Donnie, you."
• He snickered. You smiled a little and looked down.
• "Something bothering you, Y/N?"
• You poked your lip out.
• "Uh-huh, my man's not answering me."
• The mention of the og Donnie, made the robot frown. But, he quickly wiped it off his face.
• "I think my is phone broken."
• You mumbled. That gave him an idea. A bad idea. He cleared his throat and imitated his creator's "triumphant" laugh.
• "Never fear, Y/N,"
• He stood up.
• "Your world's greatest robot is here."
• "I'll fix your phone."
• You blinked and stood up.
• "That's okay, I can just go to the Ephone store-."
• Before you could finish your sentence, you were dipped down. A robotic yet fleshy arm, secured your waist.
• "Please,"
• His hand clasped over your phoned one.
• "I insist."
• Your face nearly lit on fire. Laughing nervously, you squirmed away from the pose. (Falling on the floor.)
• "Okay, okay. Do whatever you need to do."
• You said, letting your device go. Mission successful, the robotic doppelganger thought. Teasing you has gotten significantly easier.
• "Well gtg, Donnie 0. I got a new anime with my name on it."
• "Bye, wifey."
• He replied smoothly. You smiled and walked into your room. But not before you said something that made his wires burn.
• "You're just like my Donatello."
• He wish that didn't URK him so badly. He is his own turtle! And he wishes you'd see him as such ! But, BUT, that's fine for now. Your falling in love thee update is still downloading. All he has to do is keep pushing and that beautiful, beating heart of yours will be his...
• Day 31 (Day before the departure)
• Your fiancee sighed as he put on his jacket. (Dark purple with a black dog on the back. It's part of a suit combo) You're still not answering. He even asked Donnie 0 to check your devices and he said they were working fine. Maybe you got a new phone? But, then why didn't you give him your new number-?
• "Donnie, Donnie!"
• D woke up from his trance. Mikey was shaking his shoulder.
• "Huh, what?"
• All his brothers were looking at 'im, their faces contorted with worry.
• "Turn off your blowtorch, Donnie."
• Raph said, with a 'calm down' motion (Also sporting a flashy dog suit🐶 His is red, of course.)
• "We're heading home tomorrow,."
• Donnie tugged his tie, anxiously.
• "And if this plan doesn't work!?"
• "Um..."
• (It's getting harder and harder to reassure this dude.)
• "We pack up and go home!"
• Leo said while swinging his sword over his shoulder. His twin looked astonished. Raph frowned.
• "No."
• He turned back to his brother in purple.
• "Don't even worry, D. This mission will go well, so stop thinking about losing so much."
• The scientist sighed and nodded. Everything's gonna be a-okay. Namaste.
• "Sheldon, turn on some of Donnie's calm jams."
• Mikey said with a smile. Suddenly, something rung in his brain. Sheldon...Shell...
• "Shelly!"
• Donnie shouted. 'Huh?' His brothers said in unison. He didn't have time to explain anything to them, he finally has a way to contact you! He grabbed Sheldon.
• (Who looked distraught and miffed about it.)
• "Sheldon, contact Shelly."
• The little robot perked up.
• "Shelly? You got it bro!"
• The softshell sighed of relief. Shelly (Sheldon's girlfriend) is your back up device that is made for emergency contacts. ANYTHING can get through to them. Though Donnie doesn't has time to have a long, wonderful chat with you, he can still leave a heartfelt message. He cleared his throat. The signal connects. He's on air.
• "Greetings my darling, I'm SO glad I finally got through. Miss me? Of course you did. Hope you it wasn't too much and..."
• He paused. Feelings rushed into his mouth.
• "I really love you and I can't wait to see you tomorrow. We gotta overthrow the Fujioka clan now, but...let's have a sleepover tomorrow, okay? We'll do whatever you want, anything...Bye, Y/N."
• Right before he signed off he remembered something he had to say. He smiled, showing off his very pearly whites.
• "Like my suit?
• Day 32 (The showdown.)
• "So you finally got in contact with him, huh?"
• April said, biting into a cookie. Right now, you and April ooo'neil are having a sleepover. Since you were feeling MAD lonely, you asked if she could spend some time with you. (April's usually busy trying to seal a business deal with her husband.) But, you finally got a message from your soon to be hubby! From your Shelly.
• "Yeah, apparently his phone was tripping out too."
• You replied, snagging a cookie yourself. She raised an eyebrow.
• "Donnie's phone was messing up?"
• You nodded. That's...weird. Like, really weird. She pointed to your closed door.
• "Did Donnie 0 fix your phone?"
• You laid back on your bed.
• "I dunno, he hasn't returned it yet."
• "Y/N, can you go to the store and grab some more sodas. We're all out."
• You answered while rubbing the head of the girl Sheldon. April frowns. That's it. Something's wrong. She thought quietly as you continued to talk about the message you got. Something just doesn't feel right. Donnie 0 is usually pleasant to her but he always looked at you kinda strangely...
• Omg.
• You frowned.
• "Why do I have to get 'em?"
• She scoffed.
• "You're the host."
• She retorted with crossed arms. You grumbled and hopped up and opened the door.
• "If you need anything, just ask my Donnie bot."
• She gave you a thumbs up and watched as you left. The moment you shut the door, she grabbed her phone. She has to call Donnie. She knows why you guys couldn't get in contact. And...there was no reception.
• "Dangit."
• She groaned. Wait a minute, Shelly! April picked up the robot and tapped away. Hopefully, the turtles are already on their way home.
• "Donnie, I know why you couldn't contact Y/N. Donnie 0 is in lo-"
• "Ahem."
• She froze. There he was, in the doorway
• "Donnie 0 is what?"
• He said with a his trademark smile. April said nothing, only narrowing her eyes. She has to play her cards right. This is a powerful Ai and it has feelings for her best friend. This could get ugly very fast. He took a step closer.
• "April,"
• He said calmly.
• "Put the robot the down and you can continue to have a peaceful evening, okay."
• She gripped it tightly. What should she do? She doesn't know if the boys are on there way or what Donnie 0's capable off. She could escape through the window but...she can't just leave you with this thing.
• "April, give me Shelly."
• The robot repeated, extending his hand. His purple pupils are starting glow. She's running out of time.
• "If you want her,"
• April said slowly.
• "Go get her!"
• She chucked the priceless invention out the window. Not able to resist the Donnie-ness flowing through him, he lunged for it.
• "Shelly!"
• April took that chance and dashed towards the front door. She'll pick you up and take you the airport and the boys will handle this crazy bucket of bolts-
• "Get back here!"
• A loud, distorted voice shouted. A long, metal claw wrapped around her, dragging her back to Donnie 0. He chuckled lowly.
• (Doing the tsk tsk tsk.)
• "It's such a shame I have to delete you April,"
• He said, tightening the grip.
• "I liked being your friend."
• She groans. Her bones...are gonna break!!! Suddenly, a orange ball crashed through the window. It hit Donnie 0 right in the jaw, nearly denting him. He yelped and dropped April. He looked around, ready to tear apart source.
• "Hey!"
• They both looked over at the front door.
• "Back away from our best girl, Robot Donnie."
• It was Mikey! And the rest of them. (Thank goodness) Donnie stepped up.
• "So,"
• He crossed his arms.
• "My greatest creation has gone insane."
• "WHY am I getting deja vu?"
• (Sheldon raised his wing to say something, but Mikey stopped him.)
• Donnie 0 laughed. Finally, he gonna let his true feelings free.
• "Oh poor, deluded, DUMB, Donatello."
• He chuckled. (Unintentionally crossing his arms like his creator.)
• "I'm not the insane one here."
• "You are."
• The softshell's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything.
• "Do you really think Y/N is always gonna wait around for you?"
• "You don't, do you? That's why I'm here. A remnant of you so she doesn't look elsewhere."
• His pupils burned a piercing purple.
• "But, your plan backfired. I imprinted. And now, I wanna take your place."
• "So be a good ex fiancee and make yourself scarce."
• All the brothers (and April) looked at D. Was he just gonna take that? The actual Donatello chuckled.
• (Not Haha, funny. Haha, you're dead.)
• "Phew, um, I have alot of choice words for you but,"
• He pressed a button on his Techbo, turning it into a double sided, light saber. (One of its many upgrades.)
• "Unlike you, I'll spare you the chit chat. And skip to the robot breaking."
• Everyone readied their weapons. And from lack of her mystic bat, April grabbed a rolling pin!
• "Haha! What now, Robo?"
• Mikey asked/laughed.
• "You got 4 angry, car lagged turtles AND a businesswoman on your back."
• "You're toast!"
• Donnie 0 chuckled, his shoulders bouncing. That's not a good sign.
• "Am I?"
• He snapped. The room began to shake. 3 more artificial intelligences came, each damaging your apartment in some way. And...surprise, surprise, it was the other mutated siblings. The robot in purple laughed, his voice switching from demonic to Donnie.
• "Did you really think I wasn't prepared for this!?"
• "Well, we were kinda hoping you weren't."
• Leo chimed in.
• "Brethren, take them down."
• "I'll handle master Donatello."
• And the fight begins! The Raphs clash fist, Mikey gets tackled by his bot, and Leo's is oddly super tactical. And of course, the main crazed robot is after Donnie's head.
• "Head ups, Raph!"
• Mikey shouted, swinging his robot his older brother's way. Despite, still blocking punches, the snap turtle ducked. Resulting in Mik-E slamming through the wall.
• "Bleh, I hate how much that thing looks like you."
• Raph mumbled. Mikey hopped on his back and pointed.
• "Ah! My look alike is still kicking!"
• The robot has indeed, got up. He cracked his head the right way and frowned. They screamed and ran off into the kitchen. Mik-E hot on their heels. Meanwhile, Leo and April were actually struggling with Le-O. He was in perfect sync with his original, yet he had quick enough reaction time to block their friend.
• "What do we do!? It's like fighting a computer in chess!"
• April shouted, trying to get one hit on the bot. Leo thought hard for a second. Then, he got it!
• "How do you beat computers?"
• He clashed swords with Le-O.
• "With cheat codes!"
• The robot scoffed at the lame pun and easily pushed him back into the coffee table.
• "Geez, D-0 wasn't kidding. You're super annoying."
• The slider smirked.
• "I get that alot."
• Suddenly, crackling was heard. The Ai turned around. There April was! Popping out of the classic blue portal and winding the pitch. She swung. And...!
• "Homerun!"
• Le-O was slammed in the cheek with the rolling pin, and crashed out your window. The condescending copycat was out for the count. (Maybe, nobody checked) The two high fived.
• "Another win for April and Leo!"
• Leo laughed.
• "Now let's go cream Raph's bot!"
• Donnie sighed as they scampered into the rowdy kitchen. Thank goodness, his brothers weren't struggling...much. Still looking at other commotion, the scientist caught the incoming staff.
• "It would be wise for you to keep your eyes on your opponent, Donatello."
• Donnie 0 hissed.(Although he couldn't pull his techbo back) The flesh and blood scientist scoffed and threw the staff away.
• "Bring it."
• Right before the fight you all have been waiting for began...!
• The doorknob turns. Everyone froze.
• You're home!
• "Hide!"
• Donnie whisper/shouted. The fam and the robots ducked behind the counter.
• "And you!"
• He pointed at the Ai next to 'im.
• "It's time for you to log off."
• He yanked on Mecha D's hoodie and reached Emergency shutdown button, (it's on the back of his neck) but the robot was ready.
• "Like hell it is."
• Donnie 0 snapped back. The scientist gasped and they began to tussle. Fabric was getting torn.
• "I did NOT give you foul language!"
• "Get your hands off me!"
• "Donnie?"
• Both of them froze and looked up at you. There you were. Standing in the doorway. Looking very confused (and a tad intrigued) by your turtle and robot tussling. The two of them stood up quickly and straightened themselves out. You looked around, slowly taking in your now destroyed home.
• "What the honk happened in here!?"
• You asked, while mourning over your broken, expensive coffee table.
• "It was him!"
• Both Donnies said like twins. You frowned. That's not a clear answer.
• "Seriously, Y/N, he did it!"
• They said together again.
• "Stop it!"
• "I'm serious!"
• "This copycatery is immature-!"
• You snapped your fingers. Both of them flinched and looked at you. You sighed and pinched the bridge of your nose.
• "Donnie 0, speak first."
• "But-"
• You put your hand up, silently shushing him. Your fiancee grumbled and crossed his arms. Donnie 0 smiled smugly at him and returned to his "chill butler" vibe.
• "Dearest,"
• "You're fiancee is jealous of me."
• You raised an eyebrow, no opinion showing in your eyes.
• "He came home early and told me to leave."
• "When I refused, because it's not the time we agreed upon, he got hostile."
• The squad behind the counter was getting ticked. He's just gonna openly lie like that? You looked at the real Donnie. It's his turn. Before the softshell could say anything, the robot popped back in.
• "Y/N,"
• He pulled you close.
• "I'm in love with you."
• Donnie inhaled sharply. Right in his face, huh? This robot has ZERO tact. You looked shocked.
• "Whenever I'm with you or when you talk to me,"
• He put one of his hands on his steel plastron.
• "My heart drive sparks like crazy and maybe it's just a malfunction but..."
• "I like it, okay! And I like you!"
• Your head was spinning. Your apartment was near annihilated. Your fiancee's home earlier. And now, your Ai is confessing his LOVE to you.
• "Uhh..."
• Noticing your spiraling, he sighed and yanked Donnie next to him. (He would've grabbed you back, but the grip on your arm might be tight)
• "Y/N...choose."
• You and your fiancee looked at Donnie 0, very distraught.
• "Organic life or Artificial life?"
• The room hushed. The boys AND the bots peeked from the counter. April readied her rolling pin. And Donnie bit his lip. They all had the same thought.
• She's gonna choose the real Donnie...
• Right?
• You looked at the robot and then back at the original. Slowly, you walked towards...
• Donnie 0.
• Donatello's heart shattered while the other's sparked. Everyone was shocked, especially Donnie. It only took one month to...to lose you? Donnie 0 hugged you tightly and your arms curled around his neck.
• "Oh, Y/N."
• Finally! It's happening! It's really happening! You're finally his-
• Suddenly, the robots eyes turned grey.
• And he slumped forward...
• Unconscious.
• The other brothers walked from behind the counter.
• "Did you sleep him with your love!?"
• Mikey asked. You shook your head.
• "Nope."
• "Just used the emergency shutdown button."
• Donnie shoved the knocked out robot off you and picked you up. You nearly touched the roof. He looked up at you with wet eyes.
• "Don't scare me like that!"
• You chuckled and kissed him on the head.
• "I'm sorry, I wanted to give him a false sense of security."
• He smushed his face into your shoulder and just whimpered. You sighed. This past month must've been rough. As you rubbed his shell, you got bombarded with questions.
• "How'd you know the bot was phony?"
• "We don't have to pay damages...right?"
• "Did you miss us!?"
• "You're not hurt anywhere, are you?"
• You frowned as they talked. You're gonna get overwhelmed at this rate. You snapped and everyone hushed again.
• "Raph,"
• You chose his question.
• "I kinda always had my guard around him."
• "He's an Artificial intelligence, those are practically doomed to fail."
• Donnie mumbled "not always" in the background. You answered the other "questions" as well. No damages need to be paid, but they are gonna fix it. You did miss them and your a-okay.
• "So what do we do with them?"
• Leo said, nodding to the robo bros. They were looking over their fallen brother, talking amongst themselves. Raph shrugged.
• "I don't really know?"
• "They only got crazy when Donnie's robot told them to."
• That's true. They do seem alot more peaceful now, but also lost.
• "As much as I hate to say this,"
• D said, finally done wetting the inside of your neck.
• "We gotta scrap 'em."
• "What!?"
• Mikey shouted.
• "Yes, Mikey."
• "Despite being the greatest artificial intelligence ever known to the planet,"
• "They're dangerous."
• "We already have enough problems as is."
• That was a good point. Everybody did get pretty roughed up and you still don't know the status of Japan. But...
• "I got it!"
• You suddenly said. Everyone looked at you and once again...
• "Huh?"
• 2 updating days later...
• "Remember, turn him on when you guys get on the plane, okay?"
• You told Raph 3.
• (Yeah, no super catchy name for him.)
• He nodded and adjusted his beanie.
• "Don't lose your brothers either."
• Right now you guys are setting the bots free...to do the international missions. Yes, it's sounds harsh, but they'll be happier there. They won't feel odd or oppressed by their originals and they can have their own adventures. Save people in their own way. (And with the new update, they'll be no more dangerous rebelling.)
• "I'll miss you, Mikey!"
• Mik‐E shouted hugging up his live action. Mikey choked.
• "Oh! You're gonna make me cry!"
• Yeah, everyone got tight with their robots in the little time. Not your fiancee though. He had to make a BIG change to his. Namely, the memory card. It was better if Donnie 0 started with a clean slate. Otherwise, he might try to get revenge on you or something. And nobody wants that. After alot of goodbyes and steel hugs, it was time for their flight.
• "Well, looks like it's time for our final bow."
• Le-O said. Everyone got quiet. Donnie cleared his throat and open his arms wide.
• "Robot brethren."
• They looked at each other and awkwardly embraced him.
• "Enjoy the world,"
• "And Donnie 1."
• He looked up at them.
• "Can you do that for me?"
• They all smiled and started talking at once.
• "You got it, Fleshy Donnie!"
• "We'll send you a postcard!"
• "Wait, why does Donnie get the 1?"
• After some more last minute chatter, they had to go. They all waved one last time and Raph 0 slung his unconscious purple brother back over his shoulder. You and the brothers watched in silence as the robots ran to catch their plane.
• "Welp, I had my fill on life sized robots for a bunch of years."
• "Mine was the best though."
• The slider said with a stretch. (It's like, 5 in the morning right now.)
• "Who wants to loiter at that shooting star bucks with me?"
• He said pointing at the airport one. Mikey hopped on his back.
• "I want some of that action!"
• Raph was down to join as well.
• "Let's eat all the pastries!"
• He shouted. Now that they're going to harass poor shooting star bucks employees, it's just you and your fiancee. You looked over at him.
• "Man, I missed you so much."
• He snickered and pulled you close.
• "I know."
• "Not hearing from you was basically torture."
• You laid your face on his shoulder. (He happened to not be wearing his battle shell today.)
• "What do think set Donnie 0 off?"
• You finally asked the question that's been nagging for the past two days. Did you accidentally break him or something?
• "I honestly have know idea."
• "But, I knew he was always special."
• Your brows furrowed.
• "I only downloaded our childhood and recent memories into him and he was just like me. Must've been some something special about the metal I used."
• You sighed and nuzzled into his neck. Maybe that was the case...or something different. Maybe even mystic. You didn't know. And you were kinda too scared to find out. (Leo and Raph gave you the rundown of what happened before you came home. Terrifying stuff.)
• You snorted.
• "And that wasn't a big red flag, dear?"
• Donnie huffed and looked back at you.
• "I thought my engineering was just that good."
• He poked your side.
• "If you must know, my intrusive darling."
• You chuckled, sounding like chipmunk. You finally came out of his shoulder. You wrapped your arms around his waist.
• (...The turtles do have waist, right?)
• "So, wanna get a coffee?"
• You asked while fluttering your eyelashes. He put on his thinking face.
• "Nah,"
• He smiled.
• "I hoping me and you can spend some time together...alone."
• You gasped dramatically, pretending to be shocked by such a vulgar request. Then laughed. Of course, D wanted to "hang out". It's has been awhile. You linked your arm with his.
• "Then by all means..."
• "Lead the way."
• (Tricked you guys! You two are just playing Luigi cart in the Tank!)
°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°•●•°○°
Whew! That was alot, but I'd happily do it again. Unfortunately, though, I'm burned out on Rise series. So, only turtle headcanons this holiday season. But, I will be showing designs of Donnie 0 and deleted scenes. And heck, maybe even a Q&A if anyone wants that. Stay cool!😎

Amethio is just cold, tired and done with life. Fluff piece with Amethio and his found family subordinates
Series: Pokemon Horizons
Characters: Amethio, Zir, Conia, Spinel (Mentioned)
Problem is, the Explorers emergency bases aren’t exactly top notch. They mostly exist for brief respites during missions.
Case in point: the heating here is abysmal. The windows haven’t had upkeep in a while and he can feel particularly strong gusts of winds shake through the cabin. Even with two blankets layered on top of him, it’s impossible for him to keep still. He keeps tossing and turning, trying to find a position that will magically make him warmer.
His nose is cold again, so his sticks his head under the blankets and contemplates his life choices.
Amethio grumbles and pulls the blanket up farther. The bedding is soft, but he can’t get comfortable. 
Their mission went fine, but the surprise snowstorm left Zir, Conia, and himself taking shelter in one of their bases rather than risking the flight back to their submarine. Problem is, the Explorers emergency bases aren’t exactly top notch. They mostly exist for brief respites during missions.
Case in point: the heating here is abysmal. Granted, the weather usually isn’t this bad, but the windows haven’t had upkeep in a while and he can feel particularly strong gusts of winds shake through the cabin. Even with two blankets layered on top of him, it’s impossible for him to keep still. He keeps tossing and turning, trying to find a position that will magically make him warmer.
He’s had trouble sleeping these last few weeks, so it’s not overly surprising that he’s restless. But he’d prefer to be restless and warm at the very least.
His nose is cold again, so his sticks his head under the blankets and contemplates his life choices. Neither of his pokemon are exactly good for keeping warm. Soublades is a fire type, but it’s sharp and pointy. Certainly a loyal partner in battle, but not ideal for keeping warm while bundled away during snowy weather. Corviknight is far too large to be inside, and it’s also bulky and jagged due to its steel typing.
He knows other pokemon are fairly good at keeping warm. Flareon is the first pokemon that comes to mind, though Spinel sleeps next to his Umbreon. Amethio still remembers stepping into the lab after Spinel had pulled an all nighter collecting data for a mission. He was passed out on the floor with Umbreon snuggled against his neck.
Amethio is pretty sure Spinel would kill him if he found out he saw that. Especially given what happened after Sango printed a bunch of photos of Spinel after he came back from a particularly windy mission. Personally, Amethio doesn’t get why he was so upset. His hair looks like he cut it himself with craft scissors anyway, how exactly does a bit of wind make it worse?
Speaking of wind, another gust cuts through the cabin. Amethio shudders. It’s getting humid underneath the blanket, so he begrudgingly sticks his head out. Without the blanket to muffle the sounds of the outside world, he can hear a kettle being set onto the stove in the other room. Maybe Conia is making tea? Do they have tea here? It might be hot chocolate.
A warm drink doesn’t really sound that appetizing to him right now, despite the cold weather.
But, he does get another idea. He might not have any pokemon to keep him warm, however-
He shuffles out of bed, dragging his blankets and pillow with him. He quietly walks into the kitchen. The smell of hot chocolate wafts through the air, but it makes him a little queasy right now. Conia is distracted looking for something in the cupboard. He pads through the kitchen, and into the hallway towards the other bedroom.
He hears Conia remove the kettle from the stove, oblivious. He’s always been pretty quiet when moving around, and she tends to get focused on what’s in front of her. This usually leads to either him accidentally scaring her, or having her accuse him of being able to teleport because she didn’t hear him walk by.
Regardless, he’s glad she didn’t spot him because he’s not really in the mood to talk.
He peers into the other bedroom. Zir is on the bed, half-leaning against the backboard and reading a book that’s probably been sitting in the cabin since the Explorers bought it.
It’s not too late to go back to his room and deal with the cold . . . just as he debates leaving, a full body shudder passes through and spurs him into motion. Nope, he can deal with it.
He quietly crosses the room and approaches the bed.
Please don’t say anything
Amethio puts his pillow next to him, causing Zir to look over from his book.
Please don’t say anything
He climbs onto the bed, and lays down with his back pressed against Zir’s side.
Please don’t say anything
He still has his blankets draped over him, so he chooses to hide his face in them rather than acknowledge he just walked into the room to steal Zir’s body heat without saying anything.
There’s a moment of pause where Amethio holds his breath, followed by some shuffling and the sound of the book being set on the side table. Oh no. Zir is going to ask him what’s wrong, or ask him to leave, or-
A hand rests on his head, then he feels fingers weave through his hair.
Oh. This is … actually pretty nice.
Amethio lets himself relax into the touch. It’s warmer in here, and the hand in his fair feels nice . . .
He yawns. It wouldn’t hurt to sleep for a little while. The snow isn’t supposed to let up until morning, anyway.
___
Conia carries the tray of hot cocoa towards Zir’s room. She hadn’t been able to find Amethio in the other bedroom.
“Zir, do you know where-” she cuts herself off at the sight in front of her. Zir silently puts a finger over his mouth to go shh. He’s got a dopey smile of his face, and she can’t blame him. Amethio is dead alseep next to him, curled up against his side. It’s quite an adorable sight, given how reserved Amethio usually is.
She steps out of the room to leave them be. She can always make more hot chocolate later.

hi, could i get some recommendations for ttrpgs with strong worldbuilding that can be played solo?
i'd especially appreciate something in a sort of cyberpunk dystopia setting, but that's optional, really- any kind of fantastical setting is fine by me :)
THEME: Solo Worldbuilding
Hello friend! Not much in the cyberpunk setting specifically, but I've got a rec or two for you!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Exclusion Zone Botanist, by Exuant Press.
YOU ARE AN EXCLUSION ZONE BOTANIST.
GET IN. DISCOVER AND DOCUMENT. GET OUT.
Officially it's known as the North East Unified Containment & Sylvan Exclusion Zone 502-H, but everyone in the Bureau just calls it the EZ. The heavily forested 103 km2 area has been sealed off for years, slowly mutating the land, and anything that dares enter its borders. 
Created for the One-Page RPG Jam 2022 and inspired by The Colour Out of Space by H.P. Lovecraft and Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (@jeffvandermeer). Exclusion Zone Botanist is a solo drawing hex crawl game. In this game there are no hit points or skill checks. You are exploring and drawing. Each in-game hour you'll be walking deeper into the dark forest of the Exclusion Zone, hunting for new and unusual plants. If you discover one, you'll stop to sketch it in your notebook along with a description and name.  
This game is has concise rules and a hex crawl to guide your character as they search for unusual plants. You play on a clock, creating and documenting plants as your character ventures further and further away from safety and the chances to return unharmed. You’ll primarily be designing the plant life of the zone, but the plants of this area may become a stepping-stone to a broader design of the world itself!
Journey, by Graycastle Press.
It’s time to leave on a grand adventure. Are you ready?
Journey is a solo roleplaying game that puts you in the role of an explorer in the worlds of your own creation. Discover new details of these amazing places and gather new inspiration from what you find. Journey is both a useful exercise in creativity and an enjoyable gaming experience. This book is a new tool of imagination, a vehicle of creativity that has the capabilities to guide you deeper into the ephemeral locations and spaces of your own creation and help give them greater depth and form in both your mind and work.
This is a game that allows you to decide the setting before you get started, and can include an entire planet, or a single room. You will also create a traveler who will travel through this world, detailing it as you go. Journey can be played solo or as a group, rolling dice to determine the types of people, places, and things that you can explore, called Waypoints. These Waypoints will be filled out using prompts generated by drawing cards from a deck. Using a combination of oracles and imagination, you’ll find yourself with a unique world by the end of it!
Solstice Grounds National Park, by tallywinkle.
Solstice Grounds National Park welcomes you. Breathtaking mountain views, sandy beach, and an expansive forest: there is so much here to explore.
Solstice Grounds is a solo journalling game where the player visits a beautiful and bizarre national park. It uses a simple journalling system, providing keywords and weather prompts, and a hex grid map to spark your imagination; you're sure to have a memorable time in the park.
Using a combination of keywords and a hex grid, each new place on the map is an opportunity to describe the world around you. This game is a twist on Evergreen Wilds, which is also a solo game about park exploration, without the inclusion of strange or bizarre happenings. This is great for an explorer who likes their nature with a little bit of whimsy.
Winsome Heartwood, by The Spinel.
You awake in an old lodge, in the centre of a housing estate beside the sea, with no memories of the estate or how you got there.  Nothing about this place seems right, like a world viewed via an angled mirror. Welcome to Winsome Heartwood.
In this solo table-top RPG you will explore the Winsome Heartwood estate using a single D6 and a standard 52 card deck - searching through its buildings, mapping its roads and recording the experiences you have.
This is both a map-making and a journaling game. You will start at the lodge of the Heartwood, and travel the roads throughout the estate. Each new road will spark a new roll on the d6, to determine the number of buildings around you. If you choose to enter a building, you will mark it on your choral, and roll to see if you find something. If you do find something, you reveal a card from the deck to determine what it is you find. The end of the game is determined once you reveal all of one kind of face card, and depending on the face cards revealed, the ending will differ.
High and Low, by Julian.
A Cyberpunk roleplaying game for 1+ players. You play an elevator moving all kinds of people up and down a high-rise. You need a standard deck of playing cards and a six-sided die.
While High and Low is very simplistic when it comes to mode of play, I can see a potential for world-building when it comes to creating the characters who step into the elevator, as well as the advertisements you will generate for each passenger. You can ask yourself questions about the kinds of jobs or daily routines of the folks using the elevator, as well as fill out parts of the world according to the ads you decide to create. It’s worth checking out!
Voyage, a Mapmaking Game, by Brendan McLeod.
Set sail! Voyage is a mapmaking game about a journey across the seas. Catch the wind, make discoveries, and draw your map as you chart your voyage. Will you discover an uncharted island? Dangerous pirates? Haunted treasure? A big whale?
Voyage is written to be played either on your own or with any number of your friends, and works well as a standalone game or as a side game in the middle of an ongoing campaign. 
This game uses a deck of cards to provide details about people and places, while the d6 tells you something about your sailing conditions. You (or your crew) will describe the kinds of events they experience and how each event plays out, providing a narrative alongside the world-building experience. If you want a game that gives you a detailed ocean with treasures, memorable characters, and various ports of call, you might want to check out Voyage.
A Visit to San Sibilia, by Jimmy Shelter.
This city never changes, this city never stays the same. Close to the coast in a river delta, San Sibilia’s sprawling districts are connected by rambling trams and ramshackle ferries. You may have read about San Sibilia once in a 20-part encyclopedia in a dusty shop around the corner, but haven’t been able to find the bookstore since.
A Visit to San Sibilia is a solo journaling game in which you roleplay a character chronicling their visit to the city of San Sibilia. It is a city not found on any maps—San Sibilia is both part of and distinct from our world. The city manifests itself differently to every visitor.
This game follows the story of a singular character, unveiling the strangeness of a city that jealously guards its secrets. You are creating a world through the experiences of one person, with the conceit that the city presents itself differently to each person. This might make for an interesting replay, if you choose a different kind of person for your second play through - and the city might grow and change with each person who visits.

LFT PART 38
Sanji wound down the street, hands full of bags. He may have gone a little overboard while shopping. He wore a new shirt the Nami had insisted he get. It had multiple colored fishes all over it, a favorite of the new shirts he had. None of the fishes were realistic but they were still cute.
Sanji wandered over to the fish market checking if there was anything he hadn't already spotted when he noticed a large crowd. He slid through the crowd of people stopping at the front as some fishermen discussed their catch.
“Amazing, that's an elephant bluefin tuna!”
“That's right it probably got mixed in from the south sea, I caught it with a pole and line.”
“A pole and line? No way get outta here!” People laughed but Sanji had tuned the other men out.
“Elephant bluefin tuna,” Sanji would pay whatever the price to get that fish. He remembered looking at it in his second favorite book when he was younger with Zeff. He of course had packed that book and kept it in the galley. The fish was absolutely beautiful, its dark blue scale and silver underbelly, the two tusks coming up from about its large lips, and its long athena. “How much for the fish!” Sanji called out, stepping forward.
“Ahh, what parts of it are you looking to buy?” The fishermen who caught the fish asked.
“All of it, I can take it apart myself. I'll use every part of that beautiful fish,” he gushes excitedly.
“Ahh are you a cook?”
“Chef, I used to work at the Baratie,” he states offhandedly, trying to show pride but still remain humble.
“That fish shaped place, I knew I recognized ya! Love that place's great food and there's alway a fight to watch. I'll tell ya what I'll give you a good deal.”
He had so many ideas buzzing around in his brain. Such a good quality of fish could be eaten raw or cooked. He could make stock from its bones, soup from the head, he was dying to try the bone marrow or spinal jelly.
“Fantastic!”
“Yah if you want we can deliver it to your boat of want? I've got plenty more to look at, at my booth if you'll follow me,” he offered.
“That would be great actually.”
“That's a big ass fish,” Zoro's voice came outta nowhere right next to his ear.
“Shit!” Sanji jumped; he had been so focused on his new fish that he didn't hear him arrive. “When did you get here?” Sanji asked him.
“I noticed you drooling over that big ass fish and came over around the time that guy said he recognized you,” Zoro replied, shrugging slightly to cover a chuckle. “So what are you even gonna make with it?”
“Well I have lots of plans, for today I need to see who all had lunch and see how much sushi I should make, this is a great quality fish so it can be eaten raw. Then of course I want to extract the spinel jelly, I've heard it's delicious,” Sanji was eager to talk about his plans as they walked to the fishermen's booth.
“I like sushi, Luffy and I already had lunch, but we all know Luffy could eat more,”
“How did you pay for it?”
“Some guy in a cloak paid for us, I've just had the best of luck today,” Zoro gave his blond man once over and smirked. “I'm hoping that luck continues tonight.”
“Hmmm,” Sanji pretended he had to think about it, but he too was looking forward to tonight. “I'll tell you what, help me with the dishes and maybe you will,” Sanji began to browse the selection picking out what he wanted.
“I'll also have to think about that, might interrupt my nap time,” Zoro taunted back, only causing Sanji to huff and roll his eyes.
“You and your naps, Marimo,” Sanji handed over the money for his purchases. “Our ship is the Going Merry; its figurehead is shaped like a sheep, pier 40.”
“Do you like alcohol? My wife makes mead and I have some for sale,” the man offers with a gentle smile at the pair.
“Got anything that's not sweet?” Zoro asked.
“Yah, this strawberry one is pretty dry, also a Ginger Matcha Mead, and a Cranberry Mead,” he offers.
“I'll take them all,” Zoro also paid for his mead, happy to not only have two new swords to tame and some hopefully good homemade mead with his (hopefully) boyfriend. “Ready to go curly?”
“Yah, should we find the others?”
“All right,” he states with a shrug. As they turn to go, Zoro brushes his fingertips against Sanji’s, the cook barely keeping their hands touching in some form. It made Zoro’s chest feel warm, everything was going good for him right now.
