When reading fanfiction do you like seeing characters executed just the same way they are in canon or do you like some OOC-ness? I personally prefer having characters the way they are canonically, even when they have annoying flaws or character traits. IMO it's part of being a writer of showing a character how they are not how they should be. I've been "critizized" a few times for depicting a character how they are in canon with all their flaws. I know that fans don't like that aspect of that character but it's just who they are? I don't mind reading a little OOC-ness, especially in AUs, but at least in earlier chapters of a fanfic I personally try to write the character how they are presented on canon. They can and should grow over the course of the story but with canon we have a staring point for a character from where we can take them. If you want a character to change, show that change in you writing and make it plausible. Not just throw it at your readers saying "this is how character X should be and how I want to portray them!". That's a cheap move, imo...

I just read the ask you answered where the anon said that it would also be good if the reader ran away to spring court, and honestly, it seems like such a good idea.

Like, imagine tamtam finds reader and he allows her to stay in spring.

He is depressed, she is depressed.

They bond over it.

(And now that I think about it, the same couple of people have inflicted the trauma, directly or indirectly 👀)

They become friends and start therapy or the fae equivalent of it, and then the two of them build the spring court back up.

Tamlin is over Feyre, reader is over Az.

The two of them could develop a romantic bond or it could be just platonic, but that would be soo cool, because night court would realise that the two people who they thought would not survive without them gave now brought a whole court back up from the ground.

That was just my rambling 😅

I honestly had a similar idea for writing it myself kinda with a different reader, but at the moment I have too many requests and my own fics to finish, so it would take me some time to get to that.

I love you! Have a nice day ❣️

Hi!!! ❣️❣️❣️

Honestly I think reader going to Spring could be kind of interesting from the whole Elain and Lucien perspective? Possibly patching up their (Lu + Tam’s) relationship, and finally getting Tam to reinforce his borders so it’s not just a place for creatures to run rampant as they please.

And!! Similarly with Eris, I think Tamlin is another complex character? Comparing him with Rhys in how he took to his powers—since they both became High Lord the same night. I think I might have said this once before (don’t hold me to that🫣) but I feel like in another universe Tam and Cass could have been good friends?

Like Rhys mentions how Cass’ upbringing sometimes shows itself in odd ways (e.g. how Cass got a little snappy when Az told him to hold off on eating until Elain had sat down) and Tam could have helped teach him etiquette and things he’s slightly insecure about?

Sadly, I doubt that will happen, but I still think it would be so fun to explore it!!

And even if you don’t end up having time to write it, maybe you can store it in the back of your mind; slowly develop it until it’s evolved to a satisfying degree? Or wait until you have a little more time? It’s a really interesting idea you have, in regards to all the directions it could be taken in (when Tam and Reader team up will they want to overthrow the Night Court and perpetuate the feud, or will they try to heal things? Will Tam and Reader be split in that decision and have to work through their differences?)

I think you should hold onto that idea—have fun with it and see what you can come up with ❣️🧡💛

TAMTAM - Ramble In The Rainbow

If you’re unfamiliar with Tokyo outfit “TAMTAM” I can assure you their latest EP “Ramble In The Rainbow” is a must listen if you’re searching for an eclectic fusion of jazz, soul, and psyche pop.

Though relatively unknown, TAMTAM delivers a harmonious, yet galactic like sound that is quite dynamic in today’s saturated landscape of genre-less acts. Vocalist, Kuro shines throughout, masterfully aligning the group’s multi-faceted foundation. However, the glaring musical chemistry within the band as a whole is a magnificent blend as each member distinctively adds a unique touch through the duration of the project, which in turn creates a cohesive listening experience without any skips. “Ramble In The Rainbow” is TAMTAM’s debut international release via. Washington based label “Peoples Potential Unlimited” and although, TAMTAM has just hit my radar, we are beyond ecstatic for the band’s future releases moving forward.

[tamtam-go92]

I've been enjoying @shinobisdelombre's Naruto/ATLA crossover and thought about my own preferences for such an AU:

Team 7: Naruto would of course be an air bender! He would probably also be the Avatar since, you know main character syndrome and all xD he's the son of an air bender nun and a non-bender. I'm not sure about Sakura, a lot of them interpret her as an earth bender but I think I would make her a non-bender from fire nation. She's still be a brave warrior and good with medicines. Sasuke would of course be a fire and lighting bender. Royal family, second born of the fire lord, of course. Envious to the bone on his older brother. Kakashi would also be a fire- and lighting bender. Sasuke's mentor/trainer and a former general of the fire lord's army. Kind of like an uncle Iroh figure.

Team 8: Kiba gives me non-bender vibes. Earth nation, childhood friend of Hinata. Hinata is probably a controversial one since I get why a lot interpret her as a water bender, especially from her character and everything but from the skills she own in Naruto canon, I would see her as an earth bender. I've got this idea that the Hyuugas are an all blind clan of earth benders that are using Toph-like skills to navigate and are experts in chi blocking. Hinata of course is really soft spoken for an earth bender, but that would give her room for great development. Shino would be a plant bender! He would love living in a swamp with tons of insects. Kurenai would probably also be a non-bender. She'd be from the fire nation, guard of the royal family maybe, a very sneaky style of fighting, full of illusions and tricks.

Team 9/Guy: Lee is 100 % a non-bender but as usual a martial art genius. Same goes for Tenten, weapon fanatic. Neji if the same as Hinata, duh. very powerful member of the clan and said to be his uncles successor. Gai is the same as Lee.

Team 10: Choji is the epitome of an earth bender for me. I can't really think of something for Ino. She could also be a plant bender, though I don't see her living in the swamps... So I'll just settle for water bender for now. Shikamaru is another tough one. I think his skills could be imitated with water bender the most, but he doesn't give me water bender vibes. So he could also be a non-bender, probably earth nation. Asuma would be fire bender. I know he also got a futon chakra nature, but I mean the Sarutobi clan is the incarnation of the will of fire. I imagine him and his clan as really close to the fire lord.

Sand sibling: Duh, do I really have to say anything 'bout them? Sand benders.

Sannin: Jirayia is Naruto's mentor, so he'd have to be an air bender. Would also fit his personality Tsunade could be earth or water for obvious reasons (brute strength, healing) but I think her healing powers define her more so I go with water. Orochimaru is another tough one but I go with earth.

I might add onto this, when I think about more characters.

@charmandersims said, “<3″ and @grimbunnies said, “I’m really liking your approach, viewing the family through Philippa’s eyes. And I was so thrilled when she rolled supernatural skeptic for so many reasons. It was perfect!” in response to my rambling here.  @tamtam-go92 said, “ I love how you write Philippa as she’s refusing to accept anything supernatural despite everything tha’s going on in her fam xD" Thank you!   All three of you are very kind!! I’m glad you’re happy with the story thus far, and that you appreciate my stumbling through the writing. I like writing from an unreliable narrator’s point of view for a lot of reasons, but one is the disconnect between what the audience reads and what they know. (Like Makena’s baby, for instance.) (Another is that if I screw up canon, you can just blame the unreliability! :D)

Regarding my damaged reaction to a walkby, @grimbunnies helpfully said, “ Jordan does kind of look like Brandi, tbh”. I didn’t realize how much the bun changed her look until then. And now I have to keep it for my own amusement. Perhaps Duncan was a Broke?

Didily! So good to see a sign of life from you! P, 1 and R for the ask meme if you like!

Hi Tamtam! Sorry for the late response. I started answering and then forgot it was in my drafts folder... 

I answered I already over here. :)

P: Pose or Play Your Sims?

Play! I do (or did) pose for family portraits, and sometimes to set up a scene for my more story-centred households, but all of that comes from the personality or story they show me when I play them. I don’t get nearly as much fun out of playing the game than posing the Sims like dolls. 

R: Cartoony or Realistic Sims?

Leaning more on the cartoony side, though not too extreme or wacky. My playstyle is generally more realistic with the BaCC (careers are linked to town growth, for example, and I like my ruleset to be logical), but I do allow a few quirky Sims, such as that steampunk family, Francesca Jane and her carnival getup, and I still get a laugh out of my bridal driver. :) 

As for CC/defaults/etc., definitely on the Maxis-Match side of the fence...although I feel like that term has become so broad it doesn’t really mean anything anymore. I would like my game to head closer to the base game look--yep, low-poly, fuzzy textures, pokey faces, weird 2000s fashions...fast-loading game...they’re appealing to me more than ever! But I also like too much of the CC I have accumulated. I feel like the “true” Maxis-match look would be a pretty drastic change in my BaCC (not to mention how daunting it is to replace missing items/eyebrows/clothes/etc. after a big CC change/cull) so sometimes I’m tempted to start a new ‘hood and build up the Downloads folder from scratch, but...that’s a lot of work. And when I do have time to play I’d rather play the BaCC ‘hood instead of some new investment. 

Anyway, that was a bit of a ramble, sorry. Short answer: mostly cartoony. :) 

Thanks for asking! :D

“You and I”

Tammy x reader

It’s been a long time since you came around, but now you’re back in town. The town that you used to call home. The town in which you wanted to spend your whole life, because that’s where your one and true love was. Apparently, nothing had gone as planned. Your whole life turned upside down one evening when your father – a police commissioner – threatened that he would put your dear Tammy in jail if you wouldn’t leave and go to the university that he had already chosen for you.

What could you do at that point. All evidences were against you two. There was nothing, no way to prove that Tammy wasn’t the one to blame. Well, she was, but did that matter? It did not. You loved her to the moon and back and that was all you ever needed. That was enough for you, but not for your father.

“The daughter of the commissioner can’t be in any kind of relationship with the fence” he kept on saying

You were well aware that your father was an uncompromising man. You knew that your leaving was the only way that could save Tammy from being punished, but it didn’t make it easier at all.

You were doing it for her. For both of you. You kept on saying that you’re going to be back soon and hopefully you’d be together again. You loved her and she loved you back, so you’re convinced that she’d wait for you. But she did not. Things changed suddenly – just like the weather does.

And there you’re sitting in the pub, where you used to spend every evening together. Though you aren’t the same young, naive and scared girl any more. You graduated in law and became a successful and influential prosecutor. It had never been your plan to work in the court, but when your life collapsed, as you found out Tammy’s getting married, you decided to get even with your father and his colleagues. You were heartbroken and hurt, so the idea of getting revenge seemed to be the cure.

Earlier that day you finally made it happen. You divested your father of his position. Though, unfortunately for you it didn’t make you feel any better. So you opted for having a couple of drinks.

It’s been almost 8 years since all that happened. For all that time you kept on telling yourself, that you’re strong enough and able to live without Tammy. But as you entered the pub all the memories of your past hit you, and just then you knew you could never run away from that feeling of emptiness.

The place changed a lot, but for you it was still the same. It was the same old, wooden bar at which you used to sit with Tammy. Even the bartender didn’t change, but got older. The couch in the corner was new, but it was still reminding you the old one on which you kissed for the first time. It was hard to believe that it had been 8 years since you let her go. You could remember it as if it happened the previous day. Sipping on you third drink you flashed back to that moment.

You’re both a bit drunk, as you had been celebrating after one of the heists. Tammy made you sit down right next to her. That beautiful smile was glued to her face and her chocolate colour eyes didn’t leave yours even for a second. Next thing you knew was that her soft lips were on yours. She tasted like whisky, but you didn’t really care about it.

“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me” she said “I love you, Y/N”

“I love you too, TamTam” you confessed “You’re the one who brings light just like the sun. And when it’s just you and I… I feel that we could take over the world”

The memory brought tears to your eyes. You didn’t want to cry, so you turned back to the bar and finished your drink. You focused on the bottle of whisky that the bartender placed in front of you – the same tat you used to drink with Tammy -  and didn’t care about what was going on around you. Being lost in your thoughts you didn’t even notice the blonde that sat down right next to you. It took a few minutes before she spoke, but when she did…

You could recognise that voice everywhere. It was her. Your TamTam. You’re both sitting straight looking everywhere, but each other

“So… You expecting someone?” she began

“Not really” you shrugged

“Can I offer you a drink?”

“Well, I already had a few, but drinking alone is no fun” you waved at the bartender to give you one more glass

Tammy observed you as you poured the alcohol to the glass.

“What are you doing here?” you asked

“I needed to check if what people said is true… and wanted to see you in the flesh” she drank up the whisky

You nodded.

“So… You’re a lawyer now?”

“A prosecutor”

“Ooh wow… Okay”

“What about you?”

“Well… I’m a mother…”

You took another sip of your drink.

“I… didn’t expect you to come back” she continued

“It’s nice to see you too”

“Y/N… I didn’t mean… I’m just surprised, cause I thought that after all that happened…”

“You mean you leaving me and getting married” you cut her off

“What?! No! It was you, who left!”

“Did I have a choice?!”

Tammy wanted to say something, but remained silent.

“I’m getting divorced” she announced unexpectedly

That took you by surprise. It made you feel the same as when you were a teenager. You could feel your heart beating faster and faster, but as a prosecutor you had learnt to control yourself and hide your emotions.

“What happened?” you asked calmly, as if her confession was nothing special

“There’s someone else…”

“Ooooh. Well… That’s great. Yeah. I’m really happy for you” you wanted to stand up and pay, but were too drunk and stumbled right in Tammy’s arms “Shit, I’m sorry. Fuck! I’ve drunk too much. I need… I should go”

“Why are you nervous?”

“I’m not”

“You’re rambling, so yes, you are. You can’t deceive me, I know you too well” she said helping you to sit back

Her touch was so gentle and she smelled so nice. You closed you eyes for a moment inhaling her perfume.

“You’re drunk” she stated

“Well… All evidences are against me… That’s the lost cause. Just like you and me”

“Come on, I’ll take you home”

You’re too tired and drunk to object. So you let Tammy help you. She practically dragged you to the car.

“Are you staying at your father’s?”

“God forbid” you rolled your eyes

“Then where?”

“At the hotel… Well, that’s how they call it at least” you shrugged

“Oh no. I won’t let you sleep there. I;m taking you to my place”

“What? No!”

“Why?”

“Because… Because... uhh just no!”

“That’s not a case fit for a prosecutor”

You looked at her

“TamTam, don’t make it harder. Just take me to the hotel, let’s bid each other goodbye and live our lives. Anyway, is your new partner okay with the fact that you’re spending your nights out?”

“I don’t know…” she was trying to interrupt you

“Cause if…”

“Are you okay with that?”

“Wait. What?” In one second you sobered up.

“Did you really think I could have someone else?”

“You had a husband, so, yes. Yes, I did”

“Oh, darling” she smiled sweetly caressing your cheek “It was and will always be just you and I” she said and kissed you

1/3 - So with the Rhys /Tam weirdness that was in ACOFAS, it really makes me think there is something else here. Do we know how Tamtam knew where Rhys' mum and sister were? (maybe I need to re-read the first three books to get this more firmly in my head, anyway i’ll continue.) Tamlin seems to have this whole history that has only been open when other people tell his story. He tells us very little and all his emotions are boxed up. Part of his problem.

2/3 My gut (no proof) tells me that there was some relationship between Rhysand’s sister and Tamlin. That Tamlins Dad found out and was disgusted by the union. So yes he wanted revenge on the night court, but what better way to punish his son also. Then the night court retaliated, and Tamtam and Rhysand got their powers and went “oh shit” and ran like hell. But Rhysand was supposedly close to his mum and sister so maybe he knew Tamlin was close with them and that there was a link.

3/3 This is all speculation of course, no evidence, my gut just tells me there is so much more to their story. It will always be something that is shared with us down the line because both men suck at being up front. Sorry but they do. “Communicate” is my chat at times. Rhysand isn’t just mad for feyre but for his family. Tamlin has reason to be mad too. Both men/males whatever infuriate me sometimes. I just feel like there is so much more to their relationship than they are telling us.

hope that incoherent ramble made a little sense… :D

I just reread the books, but I don’t remember how Tam knew where they were. I agree that his emotions are boxed up, save for the negative ones - he shows us anger, frustration, an intense need to be in control. The only way we’ve seen him express any happiness is around Feyre, and that’s done… I wonder if he either doesn’t experience any positive emotions atm, or he hides them because he thinks they are unbecoming a High Lord. Like the way he continued with the tithe, just because it was tradition. He’s not really thinking about what he wants to do, but how they have been done in the past. Maybe that’s the source of his internal conflict?

I feel like there has been a fic about Tamlin and Rhys’s sister? I’m not the best at reading it, so maybe someone else knows. They certainly have a history that is making it difficult for them to deal with the present, though. Maybe it’s not the first time a woman has come between them - it would certainly make the whole Feyre thing that much more of a slap. I agree that Tamlin will continue to come up in the series and so maybe we will find out, because there’s no way sjm is leaving his character in that state. There are a lot of parallels between Tamlin and Nesta right now, and we know Nesta’s issues have to be resolved… So Rhys needs to deal with his past with Tamlin, basically.

I hope my response made sense, I just woke up! :)

The perfect deck for when you want to scream at your opponent.

When I first played this archetype, I quickly concluded that the deck was terrible. 

It’s a Fusion deck with only 3 Fusions. Bloom Diva was great, Schuberta was alright or even good, and Bloom Prima was there. But 2 of them required a Melodious Maestra for the fusion, and the deck was short on those. Not helping was the fact that the deck struggled to recover after fusing.

Which brings me to my next point. It’s terrible at retaining card advantage for those fusions, too. So even if you do fuse for these guys, you can easily find yourself lacking enough cards to extend your play. And once your field is gone, you’ll have very little left to help you rebuild, because you spent so much bringing the fusions out.

Unlike Lunalights, they don’t have built-in recovery. Fusion-wise, only Bloom Diva has built-in protection. Even using Fusion Recovery to recoup your losses might not be enough.

But after playing the deck, I realized that Fusion Summoning is not the goal. Rather, it’s one part of the deck’s true goal: creating a very strong defensive board and locking down your opponent from being able to get over it. And with that in mind, the pieces started to fall into place for me.

The name of the game this time is special summoning. You want to Special Summon most of your Melodious Divas, because most of them have effects they gain through being Special Summoned.

My favorite combo is the Aria-Elegy lock. Aria prevents your Melodious monsters from being targeted by effects or destroyed by battle, while Elegy keeps them from being destroyed by card effects. So what this means is, your monsters can’t be destroyed by stronger monsters. They can’t be Castel’d away. Raigeki won’t effect them. Short of something like Kaijus or Triverr, these cards will be nearly impossible for your most opponent to remove.

Elegy is kind of a tricky card. She’s amazing, but you don’t want to draw into her, unless you can use Valhalla or Mozarta to bring her out. Rather, it’s best to either Special Summon her from the Deck or Graveyard. Aria at least has Photon Veil on its side.

Sonata’s also a great card for this deck. It can Special Summon itself, then provide a nice 500 ATK boost to your Melodious monsters. While it’ll be hard for you to beat over big things at first, these little attack bonuses can add up. It can turn Schuberta and Bloom Prime into much bigger threats, and the power adds up when you have a lot of Melodious monsters on the field. Plus you can special summon as many Sonatas as you want in a turn.

Mozarta suffers from not being easy to special summon. Its level is also pretty awkward, because I can only Transmodify into it with Bloom Prima. Luckily, you have cards like Solo, Call of the Haunted and Valhalla to Special Summon it from the Deck, Grave or Hand. I rarely actually bring it to the field, though; it’s much more rewarding to create the Aria-Elegy lock, so I put my focus into that. But she’s a Melodious Maestra, which means she can make it a whole lot easier to bring out Bloom Diva and Bloom Prima.

Summoner Monk’s a pretty cool card, because he can Special Summon a Level 4 Melodious from your Deck, at the cost of a Spell Card. (And this deck has Spells to spare.) It’s an easy way to bring out Aria, or another Melodious that needs to be Special Summoned to gain its effect. It can also be used to make a Rank 4 Xyz monster. Too bad it’s not a LIGHT monster, though; some Xyz monsters specifically require LIGHT monsters as material.

Score’s not related to the deck’s Special Summon strategies. Rather, it’s a pseudo-Honest that can get rid of most big monsters for you, inflict some damage, protect your monsters, and keep your protected. Plus it’s got the Melodious name, so it’s good for Fusion Summons. I run it at 2 - makes it easier to draw into, but not so much that it’ll make me brick or keep me from drawing cards to facilitate the rest of the deck’s strategy.

Canon can Special Summon itself, but it doesn’t really help others when it’s special summoned. It’s mostly there for Xyz fodder or to help keep up a strong front. (I feel that, if the Melodious deck had gotten Synchro and Xyz monsters, this card would be a lot better. Yuzu REALLY should have picked up Synchro Summoning when she was with Yugo. Or Yuto could have given her an Xyz monster before he fucking died.)

Solo is very helpful, because she can special summon herself if your opponent has monsters and you don’t. When it’s destroyed, you can summon any Melodious from your deck, including the powerful Mozarta. You can also have it fight a strong monster to destroy itself, then bring out the monster you want, without having to wait for your opponent to act. I run it at 1 because I find this strategy a little too slow, and because it won’t be destroyed under the Aria-Elegy combo. But you might find that running multiples works better for you, so go ahead and fool around.

Tamtam is a great Polymerization searcher. When used for a Fusion Summon, it has the ability to lower your monster’s ATK by 500 and inflict 500 damage to your opponent’s LP. This sounds useless and stupid, but then you look at Bloom Diva’s effect and see that it all comes together.

So there we go, we went over (what I believe to be) the deck’s strength: create Fusions to do the heavy lifting, summon other Melodious to work as back-up or protection, and either a) keep hitting hard without worry, or b) turtle to victory. Fusion is not as important as the Special Summoning wall though, imo.

But let’s look at the Spells and Traps. Most of them are there to facilitate the Special Summoning I made this deck revolve around, or there to just mess with the opponent and trip them up.

Transmodify is a really fun card. You summon a Melodious, use this card to send that monster to the Graveyard and Special Summon a Melodious that’s one level higher. Score can bring out Sonata, Sonata an bring out the Level 4s, and the Level 4s can bring out Elegy. It’s a great way to bring out a key card for your strategy.

Valhalla is a great card: if you control no monsters, then you can special summon any Fairy from your hand, including higher-leveled stuff like Elegy and Mozarta. As you can imagine, that’s very good for the deck. However, if you control a monster, you can’t activate it; meaning that it can easily be a dead draw in the late-game, when you have a good field going. But since it can help you set up your strategies early on, I run 2.

Ostinato is easily one of the best cards in the deck. It also requires you to have no monsters, but it can fuse using cards in your hand or Deck. The Fusion monster is destroyed by the end of the turn, but then the material you used for it can be Special Summoned from the Grave. So you can dump Aria and Elegy, fuse for a Melodious to disrupt your opponent or get rid of a monster, then let it be destroyed to bring out Aria and Elegy to your field. Bam, now you got the ultimate duet with minimal investment. This card can be a dead draw when you got a full field, but it’s such a great card and facilitates my main strategy so well, so I run it at 3. Plus it can be used to fuel Summoner Monk’s effect, or I can set it and make the enemy think I have some Traps. Just to keep them wary or make them use up cards to get rid of it, you know?

I believe that messing with the material or the fusion brought out by Ostinato will prevent its second Special Summon effect from working, though. So you can’t make Schuberta, then fuse her with another monster to bring out something else, and get the material on top of that. And if the fusion you summoned was banished or flipped face-down, it also won’t let you trigger the effect. But note on placing the monster face-down: this will let you keep the card, because it won’t be destroyed by Ostinato’s effect at the end of the turn.

Photon Veil lets you special summon a Level 4 or lower LIGHT monster from your hand, so you can easily get Aria out on the field if you drew into it. And since you have a lot of Level 4 Melodious that rely on that Special Summon, this is really helpful. 

Both Soul Charge and Call of the Haunted can Special Summon Melodious from the Grave. So if you Fuse in any way, you can revive the material. 

Fusion’s a key part of the deck, but it’s not so important that you need to rely on it constantly.I only use 2 Polymerization, because I found that 3 can brick. 

The deck’s big attacking force comes from Utopia the Lightning. Since the deck isn’t as Extra Deck-reliant as many others, you can easily fit this in. It’ll get rid of the big monsters your other cards can’t. And since this deck can easily bring out two Level 4s, it’s not hard to summon.

I don’t like to use up too much material, instead choosing to keep up a big field. So I prefer to summon a Lightning that can use its effects twice, rather than once, by including a Utopia Ray. But this carries the risk of your monster being destroyed before it can pull off its effect a second time, so you might find that using 2 Utopia the Lightnings and 2 regular Utopias will work better for you.

All things considered though, this isn’t the best deck to come from the ARC-V era. Best case scenario, you create a very powerful, nigh-unbreakable board. But it’s not uncommon to have your strategies that can easily be disrupted before you can pull off big things, and you might struggle to recover from that. It’s still a fun deck though, and it’s great seeing a solid defensive deck. It’s also got the ability to utilize Synchro and Xyz in addition to Fusion, so I recommend tinkering around and seeing what you like.

Okay, I rambled on long enough. The deck requires a bit of practice and know-how, but it’s not as complex as I’m probably making it out to be. Just go in with a game plan and try your best.
