I'm not going to do a poll, because I know I'd miss about half the friendships people will post, but seriously, whose friendships do you love most? Why? Did they get enough love in the series?
The friendships that I Ship:
Umi/Fuu, Umi/Ferio, Clef/Ferio
Umi/Fuu: We get a hint of the bond these two have in the manga, when they grip hands and swear to do all they can for Cephiro and their own hearts. I wish there was more in the anime. I think they would have become very close friends.
Umi/Ferio: I would love to see these two spend some time together talking/complaining about their significant others. I see Ferio trying to be the wise older brother type, but failing miserably when Umi refuses to take any advise from him and/or just argues with him.
Clef/Ferio: I can't think of this one without thinking of DOWN's comment about that crack fic of hers that never was. Aside from that. I think these two are bound to have become quite close during the rebuilding of Cephiro. Both are trying to pull a country together that is nothing it once was with it's main source of stability long gone.
Yes yes yes all of these. I call them bro-ships.
Fuu/Umi is probably my favorite in this series. I hate how it was lost in the anime because I loved the focus of individual relationships between the knights. Umi and Fuu's entire friendship does not revolve around Hikaru. Imagine that.
Ferio/Clef I've always loved, too. Ferio seems to respect Clef and I don't think it's just due to his status. I feel like he appreciates everything Clef tried to, wanted to do for Emeraude. What you said about them becoming close while trying to preserve Cephiro really rings true.
Umi/Ferio my god I've always loved their friendship. They have so many similarities. I like to think there's a bit of tension, every once in a while when there's been too much wine, just under the surface. Of course I took this to a ridiculous degree in that never-to-be-finished fic a few years ago, but it's spun off their friendship. I had meant for that fic to explore that friendship but of course never properly got around to it.
The whole Autozam crew. Eagle/Geo/Zazu. They are precious adorable babies and I want them to all live happily ever after.
Umi/Caldina. I see Caldina as a "cool big sis", especially to Umi. They're both vain spitfires with big hearts. Caldina loves the knights so much, but I think she'd be closest to Umi in the long run.
Ferio/Emeraude. The feelings that these two give me. Unghh. Especially in the manga. Owww my heart it's okay I didn't need that.
ALL OF THEM. *flails hands, looks ridiculous, falls out of bed*
I - uh. I AM GOING TO COME BACK WHEN MORE COHERENT. Though my thoughts on Umi-and-Ferio and Ferio-and-Clef (...whether or not it remains within the bounds of friendship XD)(Possibly because Ferio and Umi are similar in so many ways, I think that Ferio might balance him too? Unless it's the OVA. In which they go back to REPOPULATE CEPHIRO. *will never stop giggling at that*) are probably now detailed thoroughly enough in the pairings thread (ahaha, sorry, hijacked it. I fail at linear-progression and sticking to topic?)
But GEO, argh, Geo, Geo and Lantis and Eagle and Zazu, he kind of breaks my heart and gives me warm fuzzy feelings all at once - because he's trying SO HARD to look after Eagle, to support him, after losing Lantis, but Eagle's too stubborn and determined and too /Eagle/ for him to manage, at least on his own!
I was bad enough about Geo anyway, and then he turned up in Tsubasa with Eagle and Lantis, still playing the WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE TALKING SENSE AND NO ONE HERE IS LISTENING TO ME ARGHHHHH role, and I melted hard. Poor, poor guy. No one will ever be able to keep Eagle out of trouble - I seriously doubt even Hikaru would manage it entirely, because Eagle is nothing if not determined to do things HIS way, and that's one reason I think Hikaru and Geo should team up to keep Lantis and Eagle out of trouble :DD I like the idea that Geo starts off at the end of canon (MANGA CANON for REASONS T_T EAGLEEEEEEEEE) being somewhat surprised that both Eagle and Lantis seem to be so strongly inclined towards this kid - I mean, he knows she's nice and obviously strong and rather adorable, but they're both /silly/ over her, what gives? And then one day she turns up and says seriously to him 'Eagle's about to do something he shouldn't, isn't he' when Eagle's trying to, IDK, push his recovery. 'How do you think we should change his mind?'
and he begins to get it. XD
And then they form a team of awesome the likes of which have never been seen before, and Zazu wanders about in shock saying things like 'I just saw Eagle, and he was actually USING HIS CRUTCHES! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!'.
Tarta and Tatra and Umi I love too. I adore Tatra's kind, gentle, completely-made-of-steel character, and I love the caring older sibling role anyway - the fierceness she betrays when she needs to, for Tarta's sake. Her amusement at Tarta and Umi (FAR too alike XD) is far too close to what I feel watching the episodes. <3
Clef and any one of his former students gives me terrifying amounts of feeling - I was about to say 'especially ~~~' but started typing out ALL OF THEM. Zagato and Emeraude and Alcione and Lantis - just, ugh. FEELS. The way that the only way he could NOT betray them was to do his (sworn) duty, which meant betraying them, at least emotionally - failing them - and I am stopping here before Clef Feels destroy this whole post, because I know myself. XDD
Then! There's the knights themselves! Who are just AWESOME and so supportive and accepting even though they're so very different people - and admittedly they WOULD cling to each other at first, because when you're tossed into a world which makes NO SENSE and you can't believe it's REAL, surely you'll become attached to the only other two people who make sense? But it's more than that, there's such affection there, and I love it!

And this is the entire forum summed up in twenty words. We can all just go home now.
That is the whole reason we are here. For the small nonsensical thoughts on MKR CRAMMED with our obsessive feelings. That is all. :)
*grins* it really is. I LOVE THIS PLACE. And I'm going to make that my signature if/when I can be bothered to have one, because it certainly describes most of my posts. XD

It IS a lovely Place. It was good that I was talked into making it all those years ago. We've had some great times. We should have plenty more.
I don't think it is safe for many of us to be Rayearth-ing anytime of the day, but then again, that's how you get amazing things.... and crack. always the crack.
Ugh, Ferio/Umi gives me so many bro!ship feels. I like to think of them as the resident drinking buddies that annoy everyone else, but they find each other hilarious.

That sort of nudged my writer's block...
But I'm not so sure I could write it considering I have no experience with that type of stuff...

Imagination, my dear. It's wonderful. I'm sure you've been metally compromised at some point, whether by meds or lack of sleep.
But, very well..... I'm putting it forth to all in the form a challenge: https://cephiro.psynos.net/index.php?topic=281.0 (https://cephiro.psynos.net/index.php?topic=281.0)
I have, in fact, been completely loopy maaaaaaaaany times in my life (flat diet coke, a frequent transgressor - codine a fortunately rare other ^^;;;) (when I start asking detailed questions about the etymology of mangle-wurzels that even I and the other half of my brain cannot decipher (we are somewhat terrifying for having full conversations in about three words) then it's very very clear I'm... mentally compromised. XD THOUGH cannot take painkillers or caffinated drinks anymore. ...this is probably a good thing in the long run.............)
I don't go loopy on lack of sleep, though? I get tunnel-vision-ish and able to concentrate on only one thing, but I'm still generally processing? (This proved useful at University...)
(I would have been a moody and probably spiteful drunk. There is no need for anyone to ever experience that. ^^;)
FINE I WILL TRY SOMETHING MAYBE. Possibly. Um.
Hey I'm sorta late for this but what gives...

Uuuugh, THIS SO HARD. Geo would be such a good reference for Hikaru, and with her stuborness and ways of convincing anyone of doind whatever she wants, they'd be an unstoppable force! The sense of reason and the strenght to convince people of it! They should have big adventures, I tell you.
QuoteThen! There's the knights themselves!

But it's more than that, there's such affection there, and I love it!
Yes, they're so great together! I love the bond they created and how they grew so much with eachother. They all ofer some sort of balance to one another that is just so great. I also feel that they're very comfortable with each other and their friendship can accomplish so much more and they'll grow into such beautiful ladies that'll stun everyone in their path and uuuuurrrhh. ♥ ♥
I also think Ferio and Hikaru would be great buddies, I don't really have more explanation except I just FEEL it in my heart. They can tease each other all the time and point shit and laugh at each other and have some great adventures.
Presea and Caldina would also be so great together. They'd be the crazy big-sisters figures to the knights and they're definitely drinking buddies.
I also think Lantis and Zagato, besides being brothers, were really great friends and Lantis not only lost a brother but his best friend.
Askot would also be really great with the knights, I can easily see him being comfortable with Hikaru and Fuu, and dorky as always with Umi.
Hikaru would also be great friends with Zazu, but I can't decide if she can or can't hold her liquor. Either way, she'd be the resident teddy bear to Lantis' drunk hug monster when she hangs out with the Autozam crew. And of course EAT ALL THE SWEETS with Eagle and Eagle would convince her to convince Geo that his cakes and puddings were quinteessencial to Eagle's recovery and her own sanity of mind or something.
Aaah, I'll stop here, cause yeah, rayearth-ing between classes makes me lose all my lunch time!

Oh myyyyyyyyyyy I am now imagining Eagle's evil plan for all the cakes, all the time. *flails hands all over the place* YES. THIS.
and, hee, Rayearth eats up time so easily. XD
Uuuuuugh don't tell me I hadn't flailed so much with fandom for such A LONG TIME.
Yes, of course Eagle would have a evil plan for the cakes (I'm pretty sure he has an evil plan for everything) and I don't think Hikaru minds at all because hey she can also get ALL THE CAKE and still blackmail Eagle with it if needed!!! Seriously it's be a never ending circle of amusement between these people!!! Until Geo needs to yell at someone or ground them or something.

Aaaah I used to really love this broship back in my early days of the fandom. It kind of gave way to Umi/Ferio in recent years but I want to explore it again. ;~;

Yesss!! Please do. I think they both could chill out nicely and joust and play around a lot and EXPLORE~~~ basically. ♥♥
To many posibilities but the ones i like the most are Umi and Caldina'/Tata&Tatra and Umi and Ferio.
I like the fact that she can have this special connection with Caldina, Tata and Tatra that no one else of the characters has.
I once had this idea of Umi having troubles with Cefiro's goverment, like most plots but with the diference of this three persons being the only support she had, and Umi is not pregnant either... of course I must include Lafarga because he is with Caldina but only them believed in her so yeah... because I am kinda a lazy person and the story need it to much work i just keep imagine all on my mind. xDD
Umi and Ferio's relationship is other one I enjoy on thinking, I toy with the idea of the like on a step-brother relationship, being them similar bickering for everything but eing there always for eachother ^^
Also Umi and Lantis are pretty appealing to me, have stories with them in a non friendship way, but also a frienship with this two could be possible, like both of them being confidents of eachother secrets... Umi with her exuberant presence can be a very discreet person that is why i think this two will click too.
Dear Shinomu:
I am over the moon that you also shared my view that Lantis and Zagato were more than brothers, they were also best friends!
So it was why you were one of the first ones to review my story.
I finally get around to posting! Haha!

Bringing this back because ASCOT AND HIS FRIENDS, PEOPLE, ASCOT AND HIS FRIENDS
...this is all. :DDD
Quote from: Down on July 16, 2013, 09:36:23 PM

...this is all. :DDD
When I did a rewatch of MKR, I actually teared up every time one of Ascot's beast friends died. I never used to have that reaction as a teenager, oh my. ;__;
Here are several that nobody has mentioned yet, but I believe are really important, I'm sorry because this'll be long...
Hikaru/Her Brothers/Hikari - Like we never see enough of the people left on earth, but I think that they care for her more than brother (or pet for Hikari, in said case). They are shown in the manga and anime to care immensely and are willing to do anything so that their younger sister won't be sad and cry, even though they really have no idea what's going on with Cephiro. Expanding on that, let's look at Hikaru, she doesn't tell them about Lantis or Cephiro or anything, in fear of hurting them, that right there is really sweet~
Like just kudos to the frickin' Shidou household because they're all supportive and nice and it's beautiful.
The same could be said about Fuu/Kuu, since Kuu is the elder sister, she knows Fuu like the back of her hand and gives her some of the most heartwarming advice about relying on others in times of need, she is also seen to be able to kid with Fuu as when she asks about the pastries from the tower, which is really important in a family bond, which they most certainly have. Kuu is great even though we only see once if I remember right...
Also, Clef/All of his Creature Summons- Just, I was always upset that we never saw as much of Fyula or the Griffin, as I would've liked. But, Fyula especially, since it has a name, you wouldn't name something, if you weren't attached to it. Fyula is a gentle creature by nature, it can be said that it cares for master a ton, for it does anything that's ask of it, and is shown to be happy to oblige and not give any objections or struggle, even though it probably doesn't have to reaction to the summons if it doesn't want to, because Cephiro's whole the will is everything, works on animals? On Clef's side of the relationship, it's kinda plainly obvious that he cares for his creatures and anything and everything that's Cephirian, creatures one and all included, just look at how highly he regards Mokona...
Did I just rant about a fish? Why yes, yes I did.
Yay flailing about fish FYULA IS AWESOME, I am biased towards griffins because GRIFFINS but Fyulaaaaaaaaa. YES I'm still working on the griffin fic, Trin, don't worry XD
And - and don't get me started on the sibling feels, because Ferio and Emeraude and there will be crying, okay. CRYING. But Hikaru's brothers are gloriously bouncy and caring I do love them so~
And Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who worries and then gets distracted by chick sweets. XD
You know, sometimes when I look back on the older threads here, I see how sorely I'm needed. Because really?
(https://41.media.tumblr.com/742da46d8461a09cf419102bcfd3a2dd/tumblr_nnuo2tXJQj1ttmcguo1_500.jpg)
Kudos to Down for mentioning the beasties, though!
There are just - there is too much awesome in Rayearth for us to mention it all in one go, we would implode!
XDD
did I mention this one? Because I should have: ZAZU AND MACHINESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS particularly the FTO, GTO, and NSX most of allllllllllllllllll but yes. XD
Hee, but Ascot and Caldina are already such an estabilished broship it delves in actual siblings vibe. <3
ZAZU AND MACHINES YEAH BUT ALSO CAN YOU IMAGINE ZAZU GETTING PEOPLE DRUNK? CONVINCING TEA PARTIES WERE GETTING OLD, COULD THEY DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND? (He'd definitely get the knights drunk enough to wreak havoc at some point)
Zazu and the knights cavorting about the castle causing chaos (and probably not half as drunk as people think they are XDD) YES. I subscribe to this idea!
Did I ever mention Umi and LaFarga anywhere? I just - think they'd get along pretty well, not wanting to have to put up with other people being idiots (but LaFarga's too polite to tell them so. Umi - is not a polite creature XD). And they're both very WE SHALL PROTECT THOSE WE HOLD DEAR IT IS OUR DUTY AND OUR JOY and I'm quoting the Church of England oops. But they - and Ferio (and Clef) - strike me as having a common thread of fiercely and sometimes pre-emptively protective? (Caldina is too, but she's sneaky about it. The others will come down like a tonne of bricks if you even THINK of hurting those under their protection.) Which they jointly extend to the whole of Cephiro, which gives them something to bond over while training! :D
I apparently have a thing for writing Fuu and Lafarga! they have this little relationship where they both point things out about the other in very roundabout ways - Fuu more coyly and Lafarga more gruffly. but I think they have more in common than one would think. they're both perceptive, always observing, processing everything internally. gah it's hard to explain how they're alike but I swear it should come across in scenes I write of them together!
but yeah, she had some nice little moments in that abandoned Ferio/Umi drunken trist fic, and they have two or three freaking adorable scenes in WWD. I hadn't thought about the previous fic when I started writing them interacting in my current one, I didn't realize til later that I might be the only person who habitually writes Fuu/Lafarga friendship @u@;;;
Fuu and LaFarga! THAT ONE WORKS TOOOOO
Fic - LaFarga overwhelmed by a whirlwind of Caldina-doing-something (idk, marriage? preparing for first child to arrive?? taking over the castle???) and Fuu and Umi take him under their wings, which mostly involves Fuu and LaFarga blinking at Umi's ridiculous suggestions or - this isn't even a whole sentence yet IDK something with them steering a dazed LaFarga about is apparently now something I want to read XDD
I think all three Knights have a good relationship with Lafarga?? which is weird as hell, he's not a character that gets lots of fan attention except being shipped with Caldina. but I think they all bounce really really well off him, and all in different ways! god. I love it. like they're never buddy-buddy with him or anything, more like short conversations now-and-then when the girl corners him and he kinda doesn't want to make chitchat but at the end of the day he feels like each of the girls stirs something in him in different ways and help I'm having feelings
Awww, guys, THE LAFARGA FEEELS. He'd definitely be a very reliable friend for the knights, I think. And gosh, everything you guys pointed out is just perfect. XD
I also think Hikaru would want to train with him. She'd be really curious about their way of the sword or something and would probably exaust the poor guy to the point patient Lafarga would just throw Hikaru in one of Lantis' trainings and thell him she's under his charge from now on.

I can so totally see an exasperated Lafarga doing that with Hikaru.
Oh, wow, Lafarga's getting attention? Yay!
You know, in the manga, Ferio mentions going on a few scouting missions with Lafarga. Think they got along too?
(And, of course, because I am me, I must mention Lafarga and Ascot. Not quite as close to my heart as Caldina and Ascot, but they have their moments. The family. :) )
Also, I ship Ferio and Ascot as frenemies.
We obviously need a LaFarga Appreciation Day so he can get the fic/art/attention he deserves!
:D
(I eternally feel the need to make it up to him for calling him LaFargo for who knows how long for inexplicable reasons. I WAS CONVINCED THAT WAS HIS NAME. Mils never lets me forget it either. *sticks tongue out at wife, who is sleeping and therefore can't throw anything at me until she's awake tomorrow and reads this*)
me and my friend nicknamed him Lafarga Smallberries because apparently his english VA's surname is Smallberries wtf how is that a name

Lafarga Smallberries
I'm now very tempted to use that as his surname in my High School!AU. And then have him taking Caldina's surname when they get married.
In honor of Hikaru week...
Hikaru and Ascot are my activist!brotp. You'll find them together on the front lines of the fight for animal rights (but don't worry, neither of them want anything to do with PETA). And probably LGBT+ rights while they're at it, given how much people seem to like the idea of agender/asexual!Hikaru and genderfluid!Ascot. ;D
I can easily see them as fellow volunteers at an animal shelter, or commiserating about how unnecessarily difficult it is to find restaurants with a good vegetarian/vegan selection, or just hanging out with their dogs at the dog park.
The girls relationship with Presea, she's almost a mother/sister away from home for them I think. Like they go to her for advice on stuff you'd ask you mom about (girl talk not with standing. When they do that usually Caldina is not far behind and then everybody's in on it.)
Speaking of Caldina and Presea, the two of them together are a whole world of trouble. I have a feeling that Caldina really brings out the wilder, fun side of Presea. I'm thinking of the manga when Caldina volunteers to help torture Mokona with her, haha.
Also Eagle and Geo, for real, the best way I can think to explain the way I see their relationship is to compare them to Sam and Frodo in the LotR. For real.
And personal head cannon for myself, Eagle and Fuu actually get along really well together. I think they're both like minded in many ways. Both are pretty shrewd and strategic, but fair, intelligent and polite. I think Fuu would bring boardgames ect to Cephiro while he's recovering, to help him pass the time. So while they're all eating cake Umi brought to snack on Fuu and Eagle are going at it with Chess or Risk.
I really want to write a fic about those two, I really do.
Don't ever play Risk with Eagle, he will obliterate you.
I LOVE CALDINA AND PRESEA TOGETHER I absolutely agree, imho they are the shit-starting club around the palace. I wrote a short little fic about them vandalizing Clef's study while very drunk. pulled poor Ferio into it, too. like I think they just get each other, being the two older women in the circle of characters.
comparing Eagle and Geo to Frodo and Sam omhhgGG I'm havin a lot of feelings about that. it's so so true though, oh wow.
*raises hand* I've always loved the idea of Fuu and Eagle, too! they both do that thing where they make a little smart-aleck comment then do that little "innocent" smile. and I feel that they kind of process the world around them in a similar way, lots of turning things over in their minds before reacting. and "pretty shrewd and strategic, but fair, intelligent and polite" gahh so perfect. really would've loved to see them interact properly~
Before I go to bed regarding Fuu and Eagle this is something I made a while ago that might be of interest:

haha, I love that! I bet they would be really competitive, all things aside, and they would be all smiles and polite, all the while plotting how to destroy one another (at chess) and scaring both Hikaru and Umi half to death with their creepy smiles while they're playing.
I really want to write them in a friend fic someday, it would be so much fun I think. They have so much in common, I think the closest I remember a fic getting to that was one where they were siblings, along with Kuu, it actually kinda worked. Though for the life of me can't remember the fic that was in.
! ! ! ! ! so it's kind of an unofficial MKR fandom tradition to ship Kuu with Geo but I was skimming the beginning of the MKR2 anime today and I realized she'd get along really well with Kakeru and Satoru! not necessarily to ship them or anything, just declare themselves the big siblings for all the Knights (since Umi is an only child)
I think she'd get along with Masaru too, the eldest? did I mess up Masaru vs Satoru, I forget, and am too lazy to spend very long googling it, why is it hard to find a birth order??? because Kuu can be plenty mature/serious but also has a goofy side. I think she'd be able to get along well with all the Shidou kids. <33
I was unaware of this fandom tradition, I think the few stories I've come across with Geo and they don't have him with Eagle they paired him with one of the princess from Chezeta. Which I kinda like the idea of...any who.
I'm sure Kuu would get along well with all of Hikaru's brothers, I think Umi would find them all hilarious, and considering she doesn't have siblings she'd prolly like them treating her like a sister.
I'm pretty sure Satoru is the oldest sibling. I always liked how level headed and calm he was, at least compared to the other two, omg, over protective much? Lantis better be ready to impress or else!
Oh my gosh, now I'm picturing Lantis facing off against the three brothers Shidou for the first time and he's like "why am I all nervous and sweaty they're just a few spindly dudes" but the twins are giving him the squinty-eye and Satoru is just total pokerface and Lantis is just like "Hikaru Hikaru HIKARU PLEASE SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT ME IMMEDIATELY"
What a nerd.

! ! ! ! ! so it's kind of an unofficial MKR fandom tradition to ship Kuu with Geo but I was skimming the beginning of the MKR2 anime today and I realized she'd get along really well with Kakeru and Satoru! not necessarily to ship them or anything, just declare themselves the big siblings for all the Knights (since Umi is an only child)

Satoru is definitely the oldest. I don't think there's ever been any
official statement about Maseru and Kakeru's ages, but based on the clothing each is wearing at the beginning of MKR2, as well as general appearance and height, I'd say that Maseru is the middle brother and Kakeru is the youngest brother. (At the beginning of MKR2, Maseru is wearing casual clothes and Kakeru is wearing what is very clearly a school uniform; Kakeru's face has a youthfulness shared by Kamui from
X, while Masaru's face looks rather like it is transitioning from looking like Kakeru's to looking like Satoru's; at the end of MKR2, Maseru is shown to be about half a head taller than Kakeru.)
Also, within the last year or so, I've come to realize that I actually do ship Satoru and Kuu with each other.

Also, I ship Ferio and Ascot as frenemies.
YES! You're not the only one!

Ferio with glasses. And a waiter vest. This is too much.
I've apparently lately taken to thinking about Umi and Clef as friends. I think it is because I still have the edges of this silly Umi/Tarta idea stuck in my head, but I keep thinking about them being the same sort of bickering and snarking friends as I imagine them in a relationship. Just without the make-outs.
I should really try to write some little one-shots to get back in the game.

Just imagined them being on the Council together [as friends] and and actually defending opposite causes? That shit would be epic.

HE IS SUCH A NERD tho I tend to think Satoru would invite him for tea and that would sort of be the end of it?
Hikaru would tell Satoru how Lantis actually backpacked around a galaxy and that would definitely spark some curiosity o something.I can't really picture him fighting the younger ones, he'd obliterate them. XD

I'm picturing them just flailing at him and he doesn't get a hair out of place fending them off. a bit silly (one of those 'everyone is a chibi' side stories sort of scenario) but I chortled to myself all the same.

That's basically it, isn't it?? XDDD He'd probably be stone-faced thinking "WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO POKE ME WITH STICKS?"

I actually adopted this idea from someone else, but I headcanon that Hikaru's brother's have always said that anyone who wants date/marry her has to defeat them in combat. Then, when they finally meet Lantis and Eagle, they change the ultimatum to defeating
Hikaru in combat, because they can at least be sure Lantis and Eagle won't kill
her.

I do think this one's on the manga! At least in my version, they do say they have to be defeated first.
AND OMG THAT IS SUCH A BRILLIANT TWIST CAN YOU
IMAGINE THEM TRYING TO BEAT HIKARU DOES SHE TAKE HER BROTHERS SERIOUSLY ON THIS ONE?
