Following his meltdown on international television, Dib was immediately escorted and cattle prodded off the stage. The Professor apologized to the audience members and promised to reimburse them for the inconvenience. Meanwhile Dib was blindfolded, restrained and dragged into one of the many elevators in the building, surrounded by a dozen guards. "I don't understand! If he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore just let me leave!" Dib shouted. He was shocked again by another guard "Nyahhh!!! Damn it! Grog you KNOW me just let me leave!" Dib demanded.
Every guard stayed silent and straight faced. The beeping of the elevator caused them all to turn their attention to the door. They marched forward dragging Dib along the way. They shoved him into a chair which had locking mechanisms designed to hold you in place, they locked his arms and legs to the chair despite his protests.
"Guard the doors," a cold voice commanded. Dib gulped hearing the metal of his father's boots slowly approaching.
The Professor harshly rips away the blindfold from his son's face, staring down at him with an air of disdain. "Was all this really necessary Dad?" Dib asked.
Membrane huffed "You drove me to this Dib, I've warned you repeatedly over the years to give up this foolishness and focus on real science, but you just wouldn't listen" he shook his head.
"So what!? I'm not hurting anyone!" Dib protested
"WRONG!" Membrane shouted and slapped Dib in the face, his cybernetic arms across his face instantly making his mouth bleed on contact.
"I cannot believe you turned out so FOOLISH AND IGNORANT! A DISGRACE to the Membrane legacy!" He bellowed
Dib spit out a blood clot, and stared back at his father in disgust "What's ignorant is being so close minded, that you SHUT OFF ALL POSSIBILITIES OF OTHER WORLDS AND SPECIES EXISTING!"
"OF COURSE THEY EXIST YOU MORON!" Membrane shouted
Dib gasped "W-What did you just say?"
"Just because they exist, doesn't mean the populace should know about it! Did you even for once ever stop and actually THINK about what would happen if you had actually succeeded in opening their eyes to the truth?" He scolded
Dib opened his mouth to speak but Membrane cut him off "Oh let me guess! You did and you were showered with the praise you think you deserved! Well am I right?" He inquired.
Dib smacked his tongue against the roof of his mouth making a clicking sound "You make it sound so… unrealistic" Dib mumbled.
"Because it is" the Professor proclaimed, he turned away from Dib and walked again until he was gone from Dib's sight.
"Hey! Where are you going!? You're not going to just leave me here are you?" Dib wailed and struggled to get free. The metal restraints were cold and painful on his wrists and his thrashing around did little to help. He stopped his struggling and could hear the distant clanking of his father's boots in the distance. He took a moment to breathe but was still uneasy, most of this laboratory was shrouded in darkness except for some eerie green glowing tanks that lined the walls. Although Dib was his son, even he didn't know the extent of Professor Membrane's experiments, he had never even been to this part of his lab before and heard rumors that once you were dragged down there, you never left.
The scientist returned with his robotic assistants and a rolling table with what Dib assumed were tools hidden underneath a sheet. "What's that for? What are you going to do?" Dib shuddered.
Membrane waved him off "I'll get to that in a moment, for now I need you to see," he began and removed a remote control from his lab coat pocket. He presses a button and a screen comes down from the ceiling. "You need to see what happens when you temper with forces beyond your understanding, when STUPID people think they can just do these things without consequences!" He scolded and pressed another button.
"What you're about to see is a result of a college student's attempt to enter into another dimension with a bunch of his friends," he explained. Dib threw his head back and cringed. Upon the screen was a gruesome scene of several bodies melted, some partially, some completely, some fused to the metal of walls. The one common trait they all had was wide open mouths as if they all screamed endlessly for a savior that would never appear. Dib tried to close his eyes but his father forcefully opened them "You WILL bear witness to this Dib! These fools caught wind of dimensional tears that were occuring around a military base, like you they thought they knew what they were doing! Like you they chased glory and fame over common sense!" He chided.
Dib was forced to look as Membrane zoomed in on each corpse, one was half fused to the wall, his fleshy half was bright red and boiled, his eye dangled from his skull, and Dib began to turn green and gag. Membrane without blinking an eye had a bucket on hand as if he predicted this outcome and held it to Dib's face. Dib puked his guts out and heaved a bit before Membrane wiped his face with a nearby cloth rag. "Dad, I get it, I don't wanna look at that anymore" he breathes.
"Oh but there's more son, so much more in fact, this is just ONE incident!" Membrane responded
"How many of these incidents have happened? Why haven't you told me before?" Dib asked
Membrane paced around Dib, and shook his head "Because knowing you, it would only encourage you more," he explained "You were so determined to prove me wrong, that I already know you would've just taken the information and tried to find the miscalculations these people took"
Dib looked down, he knew he was right but he was also wrong about something vital "It was never about proving you wrong Dad, it was about earning your respect" He said quietly. "I have a strange love and appreciation for things that cannot be explained and you always dismissed it and made me feel crazy, I just wanted to prove myself and make you see my worth at the same time"
Membrane loomed down at his son, his cold stare making Dib chilled to his bones as if the man was a ghost. "You failed, you disappoint me Dib, even your sister knows it's better that the public doesn't know these things and yet here you are trying to open their eyes! Why? So they can end up like these idiots!"
"Even after everything you've shown me, I still believe people have a right to the truth, this shouldn't be swept under the rug! It may be dangerous and people might make miscalculations along the way, but isn't that how we discover new things?" Dib ranted
Membrane shook his head "You STILL can't be reasoned with, damn it Dib!" He uncovered the tools and swiftly injected Dib with a syringe.
"What! Di-Did you! Dooo" Dib began to slur, losing feeling in his face. His whole body began to slump against his will, but his mind was screaming at him to move. All Dib could manage to move were his eyes and they shifted to his father who was picking up an ice pick. Dib started making disturbing unintelligible noises of protest at the sight, having a sick feeling he knew exactly what he was planning to do.
"It's regrettable Dib" The Professor sighed "Do you know what I have to do now?" He asked
Dib's pupils shrank as his eyes widened, the professor getting dangerously close to his left eye "Now now stop that Dib, it's just a simple brain transplant, I've literally done thousands of them" Membrane explained. He held Dib's head firmly in his metal hand and used the ice pick to puncture his eyelid just slightly. "The more you struggle the worse it will feel, so try to relax" he warned darkly.
"Professor, is it wise to perform this without anesthesia?" A robot assistant asked
Membrane growled "What did I tell you about questioning me David? Do you want me to erase your programming?"
"I apologize sir! I just thought it would help" the assistant responded and backed away
The Professor turned back to Dib, who was managing to thrash around. "D-Dad… don't" he struggled to spit out. Membrane removed his goggles from his frame, and held Dib firmly in place staring deep into his eyes.
"No more Dib, no more tampering with other dimensions, no more alien hunts, no more cryptid exploration, you're going to be good and get a normal job to support your family, do you understand?" He asked.
Dib shook his head vigorously, his father released him and he gasped for breath, relieved his father had a change of heart. Membrane turned his back to him and pressed a button releasing Dib from his restraints. "I will not hesitate next time Dib, you can thank my grandchildren and your wife for my decision to spare you THIS time" he informed. Membrane turned to his guards "Get him out of my sight" he ordered. The guards blindfolded him again and escorted him back to the elevator, albeit more gently this time, almost as if they had sympathy for him.
It was all darkness under the blindfold as he was carried throughout what he assumed were more top secret sections of Membrane Labs. He barely managed to keep up with their pace as he could barely move his legs. Eventually he was placed inside a car and could only wonder where they were taking him next. A graveyard to dispose of him permanently perhaps? After what he tried to, he doesn't put anything past him anymore. Dib is still in shock, he never thought his own father was capable of such evil. But then again, he was extremely secretive and he never really explained exactly what happened to his mother…
"Alright Dib we're here!" A man's voice shouts.
Dib is shaken from his thoughts as the door opens and he's pulled outside of the car. The blindfold comes off and his hands get unbound. Dib opens his eyes to see two familiar guards he's known since childhood with solemn looks on their faces."Sorry about all that, but you know what happens to employees that show weakness" the female says.
Dib sighed "Yeah I know it'll get you guys fired, I understand"
The man rolls his eyes "Yeah… fired… we'll let you think that" he remarked.
Dib turns around and sees that thankfully he was just taken back to his home. His eyes watered at the sight, so grateful to be able to come home to his family. The guards left with the man shouting something snarky about McMeaties hiring, but Dib was too overwhelmed to pay attention. He rushed inside eager to see his wife and twins.
You were snug in your bed, next to a deeply sleeping Nny. You smiled as you gently rubbed his hair and nuzzled into his chest and locked your legs with his. You weren't tired yourself, but you were at peace and for the first time in a while you weren't bothered by your lack of identity. All that you cared about in this moment was the man who had his arms wrapped around you. You looked upon his normally tense face and enjoyed seeing him so tranquil and it gave you a sense of pride knowing that you were the one to get him to finally relax. The moment was perfect, except a floating bloody bunny head got in between you, making you frown "Do you mind Nailbunny?" you asked
"Listen you don't know Nny like I do, I think it's only fair that I warn you that he's NOT going to be happy when he wakes up"
"Does he get night terrors or something?" you asked, you lightly push away from Nny's body and prop yourself up on your elbows. You cover yourself with blankets and study him some more. His breathing was steady, and he was smiling "Aww but he looks so peaceful, Nailbunny '' you remarked.
"Trust me it won't last, it never does, you miiight want to distance yourself" he advised.
You pout but understand that Nailbunny most likely does in fact know Nny better than you do. Besides, you could use a shower anyways. You begin to turn to try and get out of bed when Nny groans in his sleep and turns you back to him. He shoves his face in your boobs and mutters something before you hear him start to snore again. Great, now you're stuck! This ain't awkward at all! You try to wiggle free as gently as you can without waking him but he just grabs you tighter.
"Well that's new! But it isn't often that he's in bed with a babe like you! Still though you should probably have this just in case he wakes up…cranky" Nailbunny unfolded one of his floppy ears which held the new switchblade Nny had bought for you earlier.
"He's THAT violent when he wakes up?" You asked.
"In case you haven't noticed, he's got issues, especially with sleep!" He explained.
You hesitate but take the blade "Thank you BunBun" you laugh.
"BunBun!?" Nailbunny asked, his ears sticking straight up
"Is it okay if I call you BunBun? It's cuter than Nailbunny" you ask with a smile.
"....I didn't think I was still cute with a nail through my head" he gushes
"Well since I can't go anywhere" you began while pointing at Nny Why don't you tell me allll about yourself and Nny '' you suggest.
"Well ok I don't see why not"
Black, there was black everywhere, not a speck of light to be seen. Nny puts his hand to his face, but it's so dark that he cannot even see it, just feel the vinyl material of his glove against his skin. He hears the twisted cries of what he assumes are manifestations of the beast. If this had been anything unfamiliar to him, he would be unsettled, but he was used to this environment by now. He was annoyed mostly, yes he was here in the infinite darkness surrounded by demonic growls, the whirring of machinery and the wailing of his past victims but WHY was he here? What was he supposed to do? Can't he at least have a TV?
"How did I get here anyway?" He asked aloud.
He walked aimlessly ahead, hoping for SOMETHING to change. His car comes into view in the distance, illuminated by the light of a bloody full moon. He approached the car curiously, it was on lover's hill overlooking the city. "Now this takes me back," he said. His eyes shifted to the ground, his old tattered die-ary was laying next to one his tires. It was damaged but still legible. The closer his hand got to it, the louder the screams of his victims cried out. His own heart palpitations began to echo, the die-ary seemed to take ages to reach as the time got slower. Upon contact with the cover, black tentacles twisted around Nny's arm. "Stupid Die-Ary! I don't know why I wanted to read you again anyways!" He shouts and grabs a machete from his trenchcoat pocket. He slashes wildly at the tentacles attempting to pull him in.
"And that's how I got the name Nailbunny!" the bunny beamed
"I'm sorry to hear that BunBun" you replied with a sorrowful expression.
You gasp as Nny starts to jerk and snarl in his sleep. You try to move away again but his grip is far too tight, his nails digging into your skin enough to draw blood. "Holy shit! This guy is way too strong! You would never think with those scrawny arms of his!" You yell still trying to pry yourself away.
"Aw man it was nice knowing you uhhh you don't know your name do you?"
"Nailbunny! Help me wake him up!" You plead with tears pricking the corners of your eyes.
((YOU CAN'T ESCAPE JOHNNY! DON'T EVEN TRY! YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE US! YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE YOURSELF! YOUR PAST!))
"Fuckin stupid demons! If you can bleed you can die!" Nny shrieked, slicing the tentacles. Their blood spilling endlessly around him, even so more regenerated fast enough to never loosen the grip on his arm. He was losing ground, the die-ary morphed into a large open mouth with rows of razor sharp teeth that moved akin to a shredder you would see in an industrial factory. The blood puddled around his legs, transformed into more tentacles that wrapped around his legs. "SHIT!" he yelled, still stabbing madly.
((WHAT'S THE MATTER JOHNNY? SCARED??? TO FACE THE SAME FATE YOU'VE INFLICTED ON SOOO MANY POOR SOULS?))
Nny snarled as he lost his grip on the machete "No I just don't want you to fucking win!" He answered with a cheshire cat grin. He bit down on the tentacles holding him. The beast bellowed in pain and retaliated by throwing him into the die-ary at last. Nny couldn't hold back his pained screams as his flesh was skewed face first. He was spit out on the other side, his body falling harshly on the ground. He groaned in agony, only seeing little strips of his own flesh dangle painfully from his face, the cold in the air causing it to sting. "This fuckin sucks" he whimpered
"What happened to all that confidence Nny?" A female voice asked.
Nny gasps "Devi?"
Nny's teeth were embedded into your shoulder, blood drawn again but he seemed to stop moving around at least. You push his head away but his teeth are sunk into your skin. "Nailbunny? He's not a cannibal is he?" You ask, starting to panic.
"No, he thinks Humans are gross! I'm honestly surprised he's fine being so close to you" he answered.
You roll your eyes "Lucky me" You jerk Nny's head around and he finally lets go. You take a big sigh of relief and dart out of bed while you have the chance.
His head falls to the pillow and he mumbles "Devi…"
You furrow your brows and kick at your bed "I have a feeling that isn't MY name!" you huff and head to the bathroom. You look back to Nailbunny "Is it?" You ask curiously
"Man I hate having to answer all the hard questions" he whined and covered his 'eyes' with his ears "but no it's not, it's someone from a long time ago" he answered.
"Oh how the mighty have fallen, look at yourself Nny, an absolute mess" Devi chided.
Nny picked himself off the ground as best he could. He still leaned a little to the left, he realized his right leg had been crushed by the die-ary along with most of his fingers and arm. He breathed heavily "What are you doing here Devi?" He asked.
She held her head up high and put her hands on her hips. "I came to watch your downfall, the downfall of humanity is in motion thanks to you" she explained. She began to circle him and snicker "That sucks but at least I have the pleasure of knowing you're going to suffer along with the rest of us" she laughed and kicked him, making him lose his balance and collide with the ground once more. He felt the wind knocked out of him and gasped for air. He spit out a few teeth and began to laugh.
"So I guess you're still mad! I said I was sorry!" He cackled.
Her eyes turned red and she grabbed him by the neck "YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW DO YOU?!" she began "It wasn't JUST the attack Nny! Because of YOU the stupid voices starting affecting ME! I NEVER had the issues before you! THEY EVEN SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU!" She ranted and shook him violently.
Nny attempted to grab her arms but lacked the strength. She threw him to the ground and turned away from him. "It doesn't matter anymore, soon the beast will put me out of my misery" she walked away "I just hope they take their sweet time with you"
Her words echoed as Nny continued to try and pick himself up off the ground. She disappeared from view.
Just as he steadied his breathing dozens of shadowy black hands broke through the concrete floor. They teared at what remained of his flesh, screaming different grievances at him all the same time.
"ALL I DID WAS SAY YOU WERE WACKY!"
"I COULD'VE CHANGED MY TIE!"
"I DIDN'T TRY TO TRIP TO YOU!"
"I WASN'T LAUGHING AT YOU I WAS LAUGHING AT THE GUY BEHIND YOU!"
"I DIDN'T DESERVE RATS IN MY ANUS!"
Feeling a little more jealous than you would like, you storm out and go to your bathroom. You turn on the shower but feel like being safe, so you lock the door behind you. "Dreaming of another chick after having sex with me, and in MY bed? What a prick!" you grumble to yourself while you undress. You grab your loofah from the cupboard and sigh "It's not his fault I guess, I'm being stupid for all I know I'm just some side chick, it would explain the plan b" you theroize. You wince seeing the bite mark on your shoulder "Damn it's worse than I thought". In your medicine cabinet you get out some alcohol and begin to treat your bite and scratches when you hear a huge thump. "Did he fall out of bed?" You wonder.
The room turns a bright red, a swirling mist of black forms "This is just a taste of what's to come for you Johnny! You should be glad! You hate humanity! Now your child will be the one to wipe it out!"
Nny could do nothing, the hands ripping him apart limb from limb as he slowly bled out. His vision blurring and lungs burning.
"You can't stop it! Nothing you do will change your fate!"
The voices began to chant YOU CAN'T STOP IT! YOU CAN'T STOP IT!
"STOP IT! STOP IT! NNY! COME ON!" Nailbunny pleaded and tried pushing Nny away with his head and ears.
Nny opened his eyes to see blood dripping from your chest, your hand shakily on each of his trying to fight back against him. Your eyes were wide and you made some gurgling sounds before you lost consciousness, falling backwards into your still running shower. In his shock Nny dropped the butterfly switchblade he suspects he must've snatched from you at some point. The weapon he specifically bought with your safety in mind, he just used to skewer you in his sleep. He kneels down to you and frantically looks for something he can use to put pressure on your wounds. "Fuck!" He whispers to himself when he sees nothing but a towel. He gently holds your head up while applying pressure "Don't die, don't die don't die" he panics.
"S-she's still breathing, that's good" Nailbunny observes.
Nny picks you up, out of the bathtub and takes you to the living room setting you gently on the floor. He touches your face with care "Wake up, come on, you can live through this" he says softly. He looks around the room and grits his teeth 'WHY AREN'T THEY HEALING HER LIKE LAST TIME!?" he shouts.
Nailbunny's ears flopped "That is strange… and I like her and everything Nny… but"
"BUT WHAT!? WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP ME EARLIER!?" Nny spat. He turned back to you and waved him off "Nevermind I can't deal with you right now"
"...It might be better if she doesn't pull though"
Nny snarled and threw a random object at his floating bunny head.
You blinked your eyes open and saw Nny arguing with Nailbunny. You gasp at first, but see Nny was tending to your wounds. "N-Nny? You're okay now" you blurt you softly.
Nny swiftly turns his head and smiles at you "Shhh it's okay, you'll be okay save your strength" he whispers and holds you tight "Just stay with me"
You giggle but wince, feeling sharp pain from your wounds. "I didn't even think you liked me Nny, haha, ow"
He holds your hand "Of course I do, you made me cherry slushies!" He laughs "Oh God you gotta be ok"
You roll your eyes "Have you called an ambulance? That would be helpful" you ask.
Nny springs up "YES OF COURSE! I'LL GET ON THAT!" he runs away and runs back "Where's your phone at?" He asks with huge eyes.
"I don't have one, I was hoping you had a cellphone or something" you answer.
Nny throws his hands in the air wildly "HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE A PHONE?! EVERYONE HAS A PHONE!? Ahhhhh!" He screamed and reached for his pocket only to discover he was still naked. You laugh again seeing the look of embarrassment on his face only to realize you too were pretty naked and cover yourself with the towel.
"You guys are dumb!" Nailbunny snickered and brought Nny a cellphone from his folded ear.
Nny dialed hastily and gave Nailbunny a side eye "Where'd you get this anyway?" he asked suspiciously
"Does it really matter?"
Nny sat down beside you and gazed upon your face again. You saw the look of guilt and worry on his face and tried to say something but the person on the other line finally answered.
"911 what is your emergency?"
"It's about time you fucking answered what kind of fuckin operator are you?!" Nny shouted.
"#($'37$*!";:2-@/"!!!!"
The phone operator held the phone far away from their face, the blaring of inhuman growls vibrating from the other line. Her mouth dropped "What the fuck?" She whispered to herself.
The door fling open and her co worker entered the office "What the fuck was that?" He asked.She trembled and dropped the phone "Whatever the hell this is Troy, it's not human!" She said
"That sounds fucking terrifying! Hang up I don't want no demons and shit coming here!" Troy shouted.
She did as she was told and sighed "But what if… someone was attacked by that demonic thing? What if they were trying to get help?" She asked
Troy rubbed his hair and paced around the room "Well shit! That is a possibility! Look we'll trace the call and send a swat team, along with an ambulance alright?" He suggested.
"Right!" She nodded.
"FUCKERS!!!" Nny screamed and threw the phone against the wall, breaking it on impact.
"Good going genius!" Nailbunny scolded
You try to get up and Nny forgets about the phone to rush to your side and aid you. He puts your arm around his neck and helps you up off the floor. "You shouldn't move so suddenly, let me help you get comfortable" he advised.
It was absurd, it really was. He was the reason you were in such a state in the first place, and yet here he was trying to make sure you were taken care of. He helped you lay on the couch, covered you with a blanket and propped your head up with a throw pillow. "I'll get you some clothes, hopefully they're on their way" he says.
You nod and close your eyes "HEY! YOU OKAY!?" he screams and shakes you lightly.
"Yes I'm okay I'm just trying to relax while I can" you answer.
"Don't go to sleep okay! I'll be right back! Stay awake!" He orders and turns to Nailbunny "Don't let her slip away while I'm gone!"
"Got it! I'll make sure she's ok"
Nny's eyes narrowed at him "You better! I haven't forgotten what you said"
You raise your brow "What did he say?" you ask.
"Hahaha it uhhhh it isn't important! Hurry up Nny I'm sick of looking at your dick man!"
Nny looked down "I keep forgetting I'm naked in all this madness" he smirked.
You watched with a small smile as he dashed upstairs to your room, you shook your head feeling stupid for feeling so strongly for such an unstable madman that you were literally just fighting for survival with. There was nothing logical about simping for this guy, as a matter of fact if you made it through this you should probably up security and never see him again. That would be the SMART thing to do. So why does that sound so unappealing? Was it really his fault? The bunny tried to warn you after all.
You're pulled from your thoughts when you hear his footsteps and he presents you with folded clothes. The lilac material looked comfortable and breathable decorated with little bats, you assumed these were pajamas. You look up at him, he looks puzzled as if he's trying to find a way to dress you without causing you any harm. However your eyes go wide when you see what HE'S wearing.
"That outfit…" you croak
He was wearing a weird material, a long sleeve red shirt? Adorned with stripes and black pants. It looked so alien and yet so familiar. Your heart beat out of your chest the more you stared at it, the blurry figure from your dream came to your mind.
"Yeah it's weird! But nevermind that! We need to get you ready. I think they're here" he responds.
"You know they can help me Nny, you don't have t-"
"No! They're obviously incompetent! Look how long it took them to get here! I'm not sure I even trust them to take care of you!" He interrupts. He unfolds the pajama top and places it gently over your head "Hope you don't like this outfit too much, but I can help you get the blood stains off later if you want" he says.
"Thank you" you smile "I can do the rest myself"
He moves your legs to the edge of the couch and insists on helping you dress. Maybe this was his way of trying to make it up to you. You laugh as you remember something "Nny guess what?"
He pulls you up softly and fixes your pajama bottoms.
"Hmm?" He still concentrated on making sure you were ok.
"We're even now" you beamed
He frowns at you "That's not funny"
You laugh "It is to me!"
"I really could've lost you" he says sternly, with an intense look in his eyes that made you shudder
"Okay, okay, I'm still surprised you care so much" you apologize
His eyes shift to the ground "me too…" he mumbles under his breath.
Membrane was standing in his office, going through his notes. Upon one folder filed under "Johnny Corona" he pulled out a disc and placed it in a nearby computer hard drive. Thousands of videos and photos appeared on the monitor and Membrane studied them closely "All these years, you've evaded me Johnny… what is it going to take to finally catch you…" he muttered to himself and sipped a cup of tea. "Every Time I've come close you seemingly vanish into thin air, but that's not scientifically possible, there must be a way" he mused to himself.
On his desk were four other folders, the next one he picked up was labeled "Todd Casil", under that one "Devi Demontes", "Dib Membrane" and the last one…
"SIR! I've come across something you may be interested in!" A female voice was heard on Membrane's intercom.
A/N: Johnny and Devi's last names are just my little headcanons lol. I thought it would be funny if Nny had a cursed last name. Also yes like with most of my smut fics there is way too much plot and lore and there's only going to be more muhahaha (no one reads this anyways but I just upload just in case someone might stumble across this)
