Some time ago, I found a post by galactic-dragoness about a Sly Cooper Coffee Shop AU where, as the name suggests, the titular gang decide to open a coffee shop to use as their base of operations in between heists as they go after the Fiendish Five.

And like most things she's posted both on tumblr and on AO3, she's put enough spin on the idea that I would be interested in reading such an AU. Not so much for the coffee shop setting itself, but the double life aspects Sly would have to balance in order to pull it off, and all the wonderful ways it can (and will) fall apart all around him. Carmelita finding out that the charming and handsome coffee shop owner she's been dating is none other than the Ringtail she's been hunting across the continent, the strain on Sly's and Bentley's relationship as the former starts considering a life outside thievery and the latter's feelings of betrayal, Clockwerk burning the cafe down because he's just that petty. There's a lot of potential here.

And since I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing again, I want to try my hand at this idea. So far, I have decided upon the following:

•Sly was inspired by Roichi's sushi shop and the stories his father would regale him with about the ninja that would sell sushi by day and steal from the shogun at night.

•Bentley is the most against the idea, because of the paperwork that would be involved and the potential drain on their time and resources the shop could pose. He relents, so long that Sly agrees to play by the rules he sets, like fake names, wearing a snowboard mask and goggles while on the job, the whole shebang.

•Murray is all for the idea of the cafe, partially because he wants to feel useful to the gang beyond just driving them places, partially because he wants to make it the home for his best friends that the orphanage never was. And although home is where your family is, the concept of safe houses always seemed too cold and impersonal for him.

•Sly and the gang start running proper heists from the ripe age of 15, dancing around the orphanage's schedules and hiding their money in an oak tree.

•Naming the shop proves almost as challenging as opening the damned thing.

•Sly keeps suggesting self-indulgent names like "Maître Voleur" et cetera.

•Bentley's suggestions are drier than flour. He doesn't get the point of atmosphere.

•Murray's suggestions are an overly long gag. I.e. he picks ridiculously long names that just wouldn't fit on any reasonable sign. His star suggestion is "Le petit café élégant et convivial aux délicieuses pâtisseries tenu par un raton laveur, une tortue et un hippopotame". It's one of the short ones.

•Eventually, they settle on "La pie en fût". The Casked Magpie. Or Cooper Thief, as Bentley interprets it. He believes that Sly is being coy again, but finds the name inoffensive enough that he lets it slide.

•Sly lets him believe that.

•They set shop somewhere along the Seine river, a short walk away from Interpol's headquarters. They hope to take advantage of the rumour mill and keep an ear open for potential heists or the fiendish five, since Interpol is still in the process of digitising and a lot of this information is still physical.

•This makes them targets for our favourite marine iguana, Dimitri Lousteau, since he had set eyes on the location for his own franchises for similar reasons. He sends goons to coerce the gang to sell him the shop first chance he gets.

•Enter Carmelita Fox. She drives the thugs away with her badge and attitude from what she assumes to be an everyday protection scheme. She meets the gang and assumes they are nothing more than a bunch of 18 year olds trying to start a business.

•Sly introduces himself as Sylvester Raton-laveur, but tells Carmelita to call him Sly.

•Bentley strangles Sly with his bare hands.

•Dimitri doesn't stop going after the shop. However, he not only realizes that he and Sly are cut from the same cloth, but that Sly is actually a Cooper. He decides to take advantage of the situation. In exchange of running the shop whenever the gang are on their little "business trips", Sly will run some jobs for Dimitri, maybe share some of the things he learns from his customers. On threat of course of revealing his operation to Interpol and blowing the whole thing sky high.

•Each of the Fiendish Five have stolen a portion of the book pertaining to their themes and interests.

•Raleigh stole the parts with the gadgets the Coopers used. Otto van Cooper's designs, Bruce O'Coop's computer science, Thaddeus's diatribes on the art of disguise and so on. Tips on basic thievery are also here.

•Muggshot stole the movement techniques. Rioichi's and Tennesse's techniques, the roll, the dive et cetera. He also purchased Slaigh McCooper's secrets to tapping into hysterical strength from the Panda King. (Infuriating Sly to no end that they would trade his heritage between themselves like baseball cards.)

•Mz. Ruby took the more mystical arts, like Invisibility and attracting coins to oneself. She has the smallest share of the Thievious Raccoonus, because Clockwerk took the parts with the real juice in them.

•The Panda King's portion deals with advanced techniques that precisely control one's mind and body. Using your fur's static electricity, accelerating and decelerating one's perception of time, controlling your body's temperature, your heartbeat, tapping into hysterical strength et cetera.

•Clockwerk stole the best parts of the book. Defying gravity, slowing and stopping time, deflecting fire, controlling the trajectory of projectiles after they have been fired and finally, teleportation. (Only a couple of feet though.) Everything that tilted the game too much in the Cooper's favour.

•Proud bastard that he is, Clockwerk never uses any of the book's techniques. After all, he is already perfect.

•His feud with the Coopers started before Slytunkhamen's time, during the Sumerian civilization's time. The son of florists, Clockwerk was an ambitious young man who wanted to become immortal through his legacy. When the gods took fire from mortals and threatened to turn them all into mindless beasts, Clockwerk was among those who made the journey for their abode to steal it back. He was the people's favourite, because he was large, strong and could fly. The winds were too cold and violent even for him though, so he failed like the rest.

•The one to succeed was his family's slave, a cooper that didn't even have the dignity of a name. He climbed the mountain, stole the fire by hiding it in a jar and brought it back to mortals.

•He didn't succeed on his first try, but every time he made the journey, he brought back survivors, among whom was Clockwerk himself.

•Hailed a hero, the nameless cooper was given freedom and a name. Although the name was lost to the annals of history, he is remembered to the present day through the myth of Prometheus and the general concept of the noble thief that steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

•Clockwerk grew to resent the first Cooper. He tried to outshine him by stealing treasures and artifacts, to prove himself the superior thief. Nothing he did seemed to measure up. His hatred reached a breaking point at the Cooper's funeral, who had lived a full life and was surrounded by friends and a large family, while all Clockwerk had to show for his life was an endless string of failures. He killed the Cooper's eldest son and ate his heart and liver. That failed to satiate his hatred though. The rest is history.

•Clockwerk managed to preserve himself through hatred alone, but his constant clashes with the Coopers took its toll over the centuries, leaving him a patchwork of scars. Until Slaigh McCooper knocked him out of the sky and tore his wing off, Clockwerk was fully organic.

Of course, this isn't everything I have in mind for the story. For example, I'm thinking of turning Mz. Ruby's stage into a genius loci of sorts that reflects the psyche of whoever it deems holds the reigns, mainly to explain away why the resident voodoo lady lives in a giant voodoo crocodile skull swamp. It could be a good opportunity for exposition. Sly sneaks in and confronts Mz. Ruby but loses the fight because of the invisibility she stole. She taunts him for burying his emotions beneath the thin veneer of a gentleman thief and throws a violin at him so that he can express himself (to mock him of course). Sly takes her up on the offer and boom, suddenly the whole swamp is a scorching vortex of fire, because of course the Fiendish Five burned his house down on top of everything else, leaving Mz. Ruby running for the hills with her hair on fire, Sly trapped and Carmelita having to rescue Sly from his own psyche. Maybe get a glimpse of the night of his parents' murder and start putting the pieces together about Sly's true identity.

I'm not too married to this particular idea just yet. Although Sly's lies will have to start to unravel eventually, with the Panda King providing the final nail in the coffin.

At the same time, I want Barkley to have a more prominent role in the story. Sow the seeds of doubt in Carmelita about how truthful Sly is being with her while quietly opening an investigation on the cafeteria shop owner that so happens to be the spitting image of Connor Cooper. (Until he can convince her though, everyone thinks Barkley is being racist. Or specist.)

(Whatever he is being, HR will have words with him over it.)

(Even if he is 100% correct.)

Some further incoherent thoughts about Good Omens:

the Bentley as a character

the embrace and usage of gender-neutral pronouns

Nina's partner and me wanting to fucking throttle them, and the heartache when you read all the messages they're sending her

"We call it the second coming." ARGHGHGH

I'm editing this post cuz I already said I would stop and then I remembered more:

the fly is "bigger on the inside" and David Tennant speaking in a Scottish accent and being called the Doctor (okay, I'm a slut for Doctor Who references, so sue me)

another one just in my head -- I can't remember the exact line cuz I refuse to watch Those Ten Minutes for the fourth time, but something like: "if I'm in charge, I can make a difference!" and the line that keeps going through my head is all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. (I know it's not a direct comparison, but the idea of someone taking a broken, awful system and thinking that they can make it better just translates in my head, idek.)

This is a short, non-exhaustive list of the things that occurred to me while I was rewatching the last 10min or so that tore my fucking heart out.

Wait, oh no.

In the trailer and the newspaper, the song playing (and mentioned to be playing on repeat a la Queen in the Bentley) is Everyday by Buddy Holly so is Buddy Holly the soundtrack for the season.

Will I have to watch Aziraphale and Crowley walk slowly away from each other to 'that'll be the day, when you say goodbye, yes that'll be the day, when you make me cry' or to 'crying, waiting, hoping, that you'll come back'

Will Crowley make those soft eyes at Aziraphale while '(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care' plays in the background

Cutesy Montage to 'Oh Boy' or 'Peggy Sue'?

Battle setup to 'I fought the law and the law won'

Cruise in the Bentley to 'La Bamba'

Any spideytorch fics where the f4 r like found family

anon I didn't know how to respond to this because the f4 aren't a found family, they're just like a regular family and I thought you wanted fics of Sue and Reed not being married and the kids not existing and Sue and Johnny not being related. But I'm going to assume that's not what you meant and just like family fluff

and like honestly my answer is to read canon because the f4 are really good about showcasing the family aspect of Marvel's first family, especially ff 2011 and anything related to the future foundation. Also Johnny's death comic, it's heartbreaking, but Peter comforting Franklin is just so aaaaaahhh

Anyway fic recs

Minor Injuries by Catlady45. Franklin comes back from space and has to deal with his uncle not being as cool as he remembers and Johnny has to deal with his nephew not being 7 anymore. Franklin is my favorite f4 kid and I like him in this teen angst phase

don't read the comments by hippolytas. This mostly focused on the in-universe rpf and man is it fantastic, it's mostly funny but there is some angst on Johnny's part over it. There are a bunch of fantastic family moments scattered across the fic and the characters feel so close and important to each other

Give Me All Your Lovin' by beforethemoon. This is actually a whole series of one-shots of Johnny and Peter just doing life together. It's really evident that the fantastic family is important to both of them and even though the Parkers have passed, they were clearly important to both of them too. There's unfortunately some irondad in this series but I was able to jump around and still know what was going on

Central Park in June by Traincat. Can't go wrong with this author, I'm sure you've already read it. It's hilarious watching Val and Bentley trying to break up Johnny and Peter because Val in all her baby super genius doesn't want Johnny to get his heart broken again. Johnny and Peter are just such kind and patient uncles

And We'll Never Be Lonely Anymore by Traincat. Two fics by the same author? It's more likely than you think. This is the 2015 fantastic four which is closer to a found family because Johnny is adopted and Sue and Reed aren't married so. But like it's nice to see Peter so close to the origin of the four and also to see May and Johnny get close

golden by call_me_steve and ghostfaeries. Technically none of the four make an appearance in this fic, but the scrapbook shows how important they are with little snapshots of life. It's just really cute and they're t4t!!

Oh, Johnny by damianwayne. This isn't found family for the f4, it's found family for the spider bros! It's so silly and cute and I adore any fic that lets Peter think of the clones as his brothers

Honestly, any spideytorch fic that I've recommended in the past that has any of the other four tagged probably has some degree of family fluff because I eat that shit up

#asks #fic rec #spideytorch #anon i am so curious why you called the f4 a found family #like yeah ben isn't related to them but like he's just that friend that's so close he's basically a brother

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

November 13th - The Wizard

Bentley 23 is an enhanced genetic clone of Bentley Wittman, the ingenious super villain and foe of the Fantastic Four known as The Wingless Wizard. Wittman had created numerous clones of himself to act as test subjects and minions. The twenty-third such clone he created (designated ‘subject 23’) did not turn out as planned. The clone had no rapid aging and possessed enhanced intellect and a will of his own. Wittman stated he planned to dissect the clone to see how this had happened, but never got around to it.

When the Fantastic Four thwarted the Wizard’s latest scheme and invaded his lab, they discovered the child-aged clone. Reed Richards decided to take the child in and offered him a home at the Baxter Building. The young clone often referred to himself as Twenty-Three; this was because he believed he had not yet earned the right to call himself by his father's name. Although the Fantastic Four and the rest of Richards extended family still called him Bentley. After some time, the lad came to accept who he was and believed he had earned the name. Although now he called himself ‘Bentley 23’ so to distinguish himself from his father whom he planned to surpass in accomplishment and self- actualization.

Young Bentley possessed all of the scientific genius as his genetic father. Learning under Reed Richards and alongside fellow prodigies such as Val Richards, Onomi and Alex Powers, however, enabled him to quickly elevate beyond what the original Bentley Wittman could ever have hoped to achieve.

As a genetic copy of The Wizard, there were concerns the lad might become a villain. These concerns were compounded by young Bentley’s mischievousness, his boastfulness and interest in building ultra-destructive weapons and death rays. Nonetheless, Bentley has proven time and again to be one of the good guys.

Some time later, The Wizard reappeared and attempted to sue the Richards family for parental custody of Bentley 23. The case did not go well at first despite the excellent legal council of Jen Walter, The Sensational She-Hulk. Daunted by the prospect of becoming his father’s ‘property’ young Bentley decided to take matters into his own hands. He created a lifelike android duplicate of his father who succeeded in causing the original Bentley Wittman into believing that he too was a clone. In the end, The Synthoid known as Dragon Man was made the legal guardian of Bentley 23.

Feeling as though he had finally and decidedly defeated his father, Bentley assumed the name of The Wizard and began his career as a science hero.

The youngster first appeared in the pages of Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #570 (2009).

It's kinda funny that Dirk and Lilith are the only "normal" and stable couple in Bentley 8 Squad. They don't believe in polygamy or polyandry marriage like Angela/Dustin/Puck and Johnny/Ripp/Ophelia.

And I think it's because Lilith has the trauma of Daniel's betrayal to Mary-Sue, and Dirk is the most faithful member of this squad so he dedicates his love to Lilith.

Who would have thought the doctor and the rock star can be a cute couple?

The Life of Mary Sue

Chapter 3

The fact that Cheng Xueyi's acting skills have improved rapidly spread to Su Yu's ears.

Su Yu smugly felt that she had brought a malleable talent, so her ambition swelled even more.

She even felt that it was not impossible to turn Cheng Xueyi into a first-line actress with both traffic and strength.

The result of this ambition was that Su Yu hired an acting teacher for Cheng Xueyi. After all, traffic was a thing that could reach the sky in one step if one found an opportunity, but hard power needed to be accumulated.

So Cheng Xueyi had another task besides filming - to attend classes at the Film Academy in B City.

On Sunday, Cheng Xueyi had no drama to film, so she made an appointment with Professor Wu who was introduced by Su Yu for her first lecture.

Professor Wu was a powerful actor when he was young. He once won the Golden Lion Best Actor. Later, he gradually faded out of the big screen and devoted himself to drama and education. He was very prestigious in the film and television education circle.

Cheng Xueyi didn't come from a major family, so the opportunity to learn from her seniors was something she could only wish for, so she asked for advice humbly.

And Professor Wu was worthy of being a veteran drama actor. His explanation method was profound and simple, and he even showed two impromptu performances that were particularly vivid, which benefited Cheng Xueyi a lot.

It was already afternoon when she came out of the Film Academy, and she was so absorbed in the class that she didn't know when it started to rain outside.

A rain in the early autumn came fiercely, and the leaves on the sycamore trees on both sides of the teaching building were blown to the ground by the wind, which looked like a mess.

Fortunately, Cheng Xueyi brought an umbrella.

This was a habit she has always had. She was originally born with bad luck, and it rained eight times out of ten during the rainy season.

Even though she changed her identity and traveled to another world, she still felt that it was better to be prepared.

She stood at the entrance of the Furong Building and opened her umbrella. As soon as she took a step, she heard someone calling her hastily from behind: "Miss, wait a minute!"

Cheng Xueyi stopped in her tracks, and when she turned her head, she saw a little girl who had just run out of the teaching building. She looked 18 or 19 years old, wearing a pink sweater, with a high ponytail, and a pair of big bright eyes, like an energetic girl in a movie.

The girl ran up to Cheng Xueyi, and without even breathing, she hurriedly asked, "Miss, sister, can I share an umbrella with you? It's a short distance," She even compared the short distance with her fingers. Very playful. "My brother is waiting for me in Shaw Building, but the car can't get here in the Furong Building."

Good-looking girls always easily make people feel good about.

What's more, it was just a small favor, she has no reason to refuse.

Cheng Xueyi smiled at her in a friendly manner: "No problem."

"Thank you, young lady, you are so kind. As a reward, I will let my brother drop you home later."

"No need."

The two squeezed together arm in arm under the small folding umbrella out of the teaching building.

"Don't refuse, it's raining so hard. You have nothing to worry, I'm not a bad person. I'm a freshman in the Department of B Film, Film, Television and Literature. I can show you my student ID card." The girl said and really reached out to search in her bag. She couldn't get her student ID card for a long time, "Hey, where is my student ID card?" The fine rain slanted over and soon soaked the cuffs of her pink sweater.

Cheng Xueyi pulled her closer: "Don't look for it, I believe in you."

About 5 or 6 minutes after walking out of Furong Building, Cheng Xueyi saw a black Bentley parked in front of the teaching building. In the rain curtain, one could vaguely see a blurred figure in the driver's seat.

The girl beside her excitedly waved her hand towards the car: "Brother!"

Before Cheng Xueyi could react, the girl had already grabbed her hand and quickened her pace, "Sister, let's run faster."

The small folding umbrella was indeed in a bad state, so Cheng Xueyi didn't insist anymore, and followed the girl into the back seat of the car.

The interior of the car was dry and warm, and was completely isolated from the bad weather outside, making people feel comfortable.

Cheng Xueyi carefully placed the folded umbrella by her feet, for fear that she would not be able to pay for any damages to the luxury car.

The girl next to her stuck behind the driver's seat and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother, I borrowed the umbrella from this young lady just now. She is very nice. Look at the heavy rain. You can drop by and take her home later, okay?"

"Trouble…" Cheng Xueyi couldn't say the following words, because when she looked up, she saw a pair of familiar eyes in the rearview mirror.

The man sitting in the driver's seat had dark and cold eyes, and his facial features were as deep and three-dimensional as sculptures. Such a handsome face was hard to forget once seen.

At this moment, he was holding the steering wheel with one hand, his fingers were white and slender, with smooth lines, beautiful but still powerful. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Cheng Xueyi really wanted to give these hands a rainbow fart.

But she couldn't.

The corner of Cheng Xueyi's mouth twitched, and it took her a long time to force a smile, and she greeted the other party awkwardly: "Well, President Xu… what a coincidence."

This person was actually Xu Qiyan.

"You know each other?" The girl beside her asked in surprise.

This girl called Xu Qiyan her elder brother, so there was no doubt that she was the third young lady of the Xu family, Xu Jianing. Within two days of transmigrating into the book, she met all three siblings of the Xu family.

Xu Qiyan sneered silently in the driver's seat.

Cheng Xueyi bit the bullet and explained: "I am an artist from Sheng Jia Media."

"It turns out that you are an actress, sister. No wonder you are so good-looking."

Cheng Xueyi wished she could dig a hole in the ground and fill the hole with soil to bury herself.

"Um," Cheng Xueyi looked at Xu Jianing, and said awkwardly, "I'd better go down and take a taxi by myself."

"Don't bother, you can't get a taxi in this weather." Xu Jianing grabbed her arm kindly, with an expression understanding, "Don't be afraid, my brother is actually pretty good."

Ha ha ha, do you have a different kind of meaning for that word?

"Fasten your seat belt." At the stall where Cheng Xueyi and Xu Jianing were arguing, Xu Qiyan had already made a decision for her.

All right…

Along the way, Cheng Xueyi expertly showed what it meant to be as quiet as a chicken. Xu Jianing was too busy sending messages on WeChat, but luckily the sound of rain outside made the silence not too awkward.

The car stopped in front of a high-end shopping mall about 15 minutes after driving out. Xu Jianing put on her backpack and was about to get off the car, "Sister Xueyi, I have an appointment with someone so I'm leaving first." Then she looked at Xu Qiyan, "Brother, remember to send her home."

Cheng Xueyi smiled dryly and waved at her. She didn't want her to go, but the girl's pretty figure quickly disappeared into the boundless rain.

Now, she and the president were the only ones left in the car.

Cheng Xueyi wasn't afraid of people like Song Qing, but she was afraid of Xu Qiyan. His aura was too strong, and she felt depressed even in the same space with him, and she had to be careful even when breathing.

Rather than being suffocated in this car, it was better to go out and be rained on. After making up her mind, Cheng Xueyi leaned forward.

"President Xu can just drop me at the nearest subway station as to not waste your time."

Xu Qiyan started the car silently and continued to drive forward.

Just when Cheng Xueyi thought that Xu Qiyan had acquiesced in this plan, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "I thought, what I said that day was very clear."

? ? ?

Cheng Xueyi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had misunderstood.

From what he said, Xu Qiyan felt that she had a wicked heart and purposely borrowed Xu Jianing to get close to him.

Although there was nothing wrong with the CEO being handsome, wasn't he a bit too narcissistic?

"President Xu, this…"

"It's a misunderstanding?"

The two voices said in unison.

It was just that one tone was a little urgent, while the other was calm.

Cheng Xueyi looked up at Xu Qiyan in surprise, who also looked at her expressionlessly.

"Don't you have any other excuses?" he said quietly.

The unemotional president didn't believe her.

Although it was indeed an excuse to say that he was molested when she was drunk last time, what she said today was the truth.

"President Xu, I came to the school today to take classes with Professor Wu. Professor Wu was introduced to me by Sister Su. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

Xu Qiyan looked ahead and drove the car as before: "You don't need to explain to me."

Cheng Xueyi's mind exploded a bit.

She also has self-respect, and never thought of climbing the high branch of Xu Qiyan. The original owner did something wrong, but in the end it was her who took the blame again and again.

She couldn't bear it anymore.

"Stop the car."

It was raining heavily outside, and the wipers flicked frequently to barely maintain a clear line of sight.

Xu Qiyan turned his head slightly, as if he didn't hear what she said clearly.

"I said stop." Cheng Xueyi repeated. "I can go back by myself, and I won't bother President Xu to drive."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Qiyan stepped on the brakes. Because the road was slippery in rainy days, the car coasted forward for a certain distance before stopping. The man's expression was as cold as ice, and his thin lips pursed lightly, and he said in a cold voice, "As you wish."

Without any hesitation, Cheng Xueyi opened the car door and resolutely walked into the rain without even opening the umbrella.

Bean-sized raindrops slammed down, and the world in front of her quickly became blurred.

The rain was really heavy, even bigger than the day when Yiping(1) went to Lu's house to ask for money.

But as the saying goes, people don't make steamed buns to gain credit, she can't let Xu Qiyan look down on her, even if this kind of behavior doesn't prove anything, she at least fulfilled her pride.

Cheng Xueyi opened the umbrella, her back straightened, and she felt like walking slowly in the heavy rain.

At this time, the black Bentley suddenly increased its horsepower and drove past her at a high speed. The wheels rolled over the puddle on the side of the road, and the water was splashed all over her.

Ahhh! ! !

Cheng Xue was very angry! ! ! !

But the bad day seemed to be far from over.

The place where Xu Qiyan left her was so remote that there were no village, shop nor taxi to be seen. It was almost evening when Cheng Xueyi returned home after several turns.

The wind and rain have stopped outside, but the sky was still dark, and the sun has yet to set.

Cheng Xueyi took off her damped clothes, but before she could get into the bathroom, the phone rang.

The other party's voice was gentle and polite: "Excuse me, is this Miss Cheng?"

"Yes?"

"Hello, we are calling from the Municipal Hospital. We need to inform you about your mother's condition. Is it convenient for you to come to the hospital now?"

Hearing this, she paused, turned around and went back to the hanger to take out a sweater and a pair of light-colored jeans.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

...

The author has something to say:

President: She obviously likes me.

Cheng Xueyi: No, I don't, don't get me wrong! ! ! !

The male protagonist will chase his wife to the crematorium, please believe in Tangerine! ! !
