Howdy doody, Smutlings. Welcome to our first Fantasy Friday on Smut Syndicate. We are your hosts, Charlie and Danielle. And today we are starting our Avatar coverage. Okay. This is going to be leading up to the release of Book Six, coming out October 27th. Now, these episodes are going to be recaps. These are refreshers. These are for anyone who just doesn't have time to crush what 15, 16 books before October. Yeah, which we really don't either, but we're doing it anyway. So whatever. They are going to be full of spoilers. And because we have read the books, we might even discuss things that happen later books in the series. So if you have not read them or you don't want spoilers, you have been warned. So get on out of here. Kick rocks. Alrighty. Uh, in to Prithian. So welcome to Prithian. This is a land divided by a wall. Humans on one side and fairies on the other. Now, this is not your normal fairy, like Tinkerbell. No, this is fairy like high fay, like perfect specimen, powerful, unnatural long life. Long dips. And we meet. Yeah. Yeah. And we meet Fayra, some sort of mortal, trash human. Who, when I first read this book, I called her Fairy. Um, but her name is Fayra. She lives in this very poor town. She is the youngest of three girls with just pops at home, and they are starving. It is the dead of winter, and Farah is out hunting in the forest. Lucky day. She sees a doe and a wolf. After taking down the doe, for whatever reason, she takes out an ash arrow and hits the wolf right through the eye. Feels kind of dark. Right? So she takes both hides to the market and trades them for less than they're worth, giving the money to her ungrateful sisters. That night, when the family is all huddled around the fire, a great beast bursts through their house. And he wants to know who killed the fairy. Turns out that wolf was Faye. And Fairy, being the only brave one, is like, yo, it was me. Like, what you gonna do about it? And he's like, Well, I can either kill you or you can live out your life in Prithian. The land of the Faye. A life for a life, so obviously she agrees.

SPEAKER_02 2:30

Okay, which is also if your wife is that shit from a butt where you're like all huddled around this like carcass on the table that you just froze your ass off in the forest for for like months trying to kill just to feed your ungrateful fuck ass family. I'd be like, yeah, it was me. Like, let's just get this shit over with. 100% take you back and old yellerme, dude.

SPEAKER_00 2:49

Like, I'm done. Again, we have said it before. Our will to live is not that strong. So I'd be like, yeah, of course. Uh she awakens later on a horse with the beast riding at her side. It is spring in this land, even though the human realm is in full-blown winter. They arrive at the most beautiful manor. It has wealth beyond anything that Farah has ever seen. All of a sudden, the beast turns into a beautiful blonde high fame man, Tamlin. Tim Tam. Tam. And they go to some fancy sitting room and he has a fancy ginger friend. I love him.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

I too have a fancy ginger friend.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Everybody needs a fancy ginger friend. Okay. So I love that they wrote him in this book. Uh, both of them are wearing masks from some fancy party, and they're both super curious about Fayra and her life in the hovel. Tamlin tells her, do whatever. Like, you just live out your days here. She's like guilty as fuck because she was the only one taking care of her ungrateful family. And she's like, ugh, they're gonna starve without me. So as they're exchanging their little war stories, Tamlin tells Farah, I wear the mask because of something that happened 49 years ago. That there's a blight on these lands and my people, and that humans are safe for now, but eventually it may cross the wall to the mortal realms, which like girl, like nobody cares about you in the mortal realms.

SPEAKER_02 4:16

Yeah. Why are you even like why is that gonna be your deciding factor spirit? They were mean to you.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

Yeah, they were mean. Like, I I don't know, I just don't hand out as many chances as Farah does. Um, but after staying for a little while, Pharaoh wants answers, and she traps the Surial, one of the most badass characters of all time. All time. Yeah, it is described as tall, skeletal, lesser fee, wrapped in tattered robes that is bound to tell the absolute truth to anyone that manages to trap it. It looks like a weather-worn, dried bone with no skin, slitted nostrils, and blackened gums that hold two long teeth and a lipless mouth.

SPEAKER_02 4:57

Honestly, like terrifying. Yeah, I mean super terrifying. Sorry, single or you're telling me all I need to trap you is a little rotissy chicky.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

Yeah, girl, I love rotissy chicky. I understand why you got fucking sneakers. The cereal spills the beans about Tamtown. He's the High Lord of the Spring Court. He tells her how Prithian, or it tells her how Prithian is broken into summer, winter, fall, spring, dawn, night, and day courts. The cereal is also like, yo, there's no way to break the bargain. I can really talk about the blight on the land. And just before they are interrupted, it tells her to stay with the High Lord and she'll be okay.

SPEAKER_02 5:41

This is very important, okay?

SPEAKER_00 5:43

Yes, which you already know, but we saying it anyways. Write that down. Write that down. Over the coming weeks, there's some twisted shit going on. Fairies are being dropped on their doorstep with wings torn off. We meet the evil ador. It warns Tam not to talk bad about her. Some her. Also, Farah and Tam start up like a little friendship and a little bit more. Tamlin assures her that her family is well taken care of, that he laid a glamour on their minds. They think that Farah went to live with some long-lost wealthy aunt. And Faora tells Tam that she just wants to paint. She must paint. She has to paint is she good at painting.

SPEAKER_02 6:25

Is she good at painting? Absolutely not. Because nowhere in any of the books, in any of them, does it describe her artwork as being bad? In a book series that is so descriptive. If I know what these guys' buck holes smell like, but I don't know what her art looks like, it's bad.

SPEAKER_00 6:41

It must be bad. It's bad. Also, why wouldn't it be bad? She has never really like painted before. She has like she has like a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 6:50

She's like, shitty little mortal trash hoe living in her hovel, and she got like the three primary colors, and she painted shit all over.

SPEAKER_00 6:56

Even her sisters are like painting. You're wrecking our one belonging. Like, what the hell is wrong with you? Maybe her sisters aren't ungrateful. Maybe they're just sick of her painting all over their shit. Honestly, though. And they're like, ugh, she's just so annoying. The youngest sister, get out of here. Yeah. So it is now the night. Fire night festival. Call and my Call and Mai. And Tam tells Faye, we're like, you gotta stay inside. There's gonna be lots of Faye around. And of course, bitch, don't listen. And she sneaks out and immediately gets herself into trouble when some Faye tried dragging her off. And then we get, there you are. I have been looking for you. This is why you need to reread books. Because the first time that I read this, I just brushed it over. And I'm gonna ask you many times throughout this because obviously we've read the series, so we know who we're fucking cheering for. Yeah. But at this time, did it even register in your brain? Did you even care?

SPEAKER_02 7:54

Because to me, I was like, oh, just get out of my way. I want to see Tamlin. Yes, it did because she describes him as being like the hottest motherfucker she's ever seen in her life. Also, I just thought it was because he was Faye. My brother in Christ. He is blonde.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

I just thought it was because he was Faye. Also, girl, I had a crush on Nick Carter and like Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Devin Sawa. I was a blonde lover when I was a child. Like I just thought we were going back to our roots. I was confused. That's okay. I was confused. Okay, so Fabra gets found by Lucian and he brings her back, he brings her back to the manor. In the middle of the night, Tam returns all beastly and bites Fayra and basically is like, girl, you drive me wild. And now they are fully locked in. They are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Jesus Christ. And Faber shows Tammy her paintings, and then he fern gullies her with the gift of fairy sight. Which is such a kindness. Yeah. And honestly, as soon as that happened, I was like, okay, I gotta pause this book and I gotta rewatch Ferngullies.

SPEAKER_02 9:09

Because it absolutely slaps. But also, could you imagine like all of a sudden having the gift of fairy sight? And like, not only that, but like, isn't this when he unglamours everybody else in the manor? And all of these, like hundreds of Faye have just been like watching her do her like weird.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

She's like, Oh my god, have people have been watching me do this crazy shit? And he's like, Yeah, everybody's gonna be like, she's just been like picking her emojis out of her ass, like walked down the hallways, and there's like seven fairies watching her. There is nothing. Oh my god, now I'm getting secondhand embarrassment because I've absolutely had that happen where you're like doing something hella embarrassing, and someone comes in and you're like, hey, yay. And yeah, they've they've seen her like chase the puka, they've been watching her like cry, build these snares, like it just it it's not great. So it's not great. The High Lord of the Night Court, my baby daddy, Rhisson, shows up and basically tells Tam Tam, You're screwed, your little pet here, done so. And for a man who is already like lost, you don't seem to be giving up. Like, so what's going on here? Tamlin begs for Reese not to tell her this again, her. And Reese is like, bro, I I don't care. I I don't have any feelings. He approaches Farah and asks for her name, and she gives him the name of a girl from her town, Claire Better. Which, not great, but side note, do you think that Claire Better is the name of someone who SJM like hated? Probably. Because her character does not have a happy ending.

SPEAKER_02 10:46

I feel like I'm gonna keep that thought to myself. Yes, I think that yes, this is a personal attack on somebody.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

Well, because that's a very everyone else's name, like Rissan, Tamlin, and then you have Claire. I feel like Claire did her dirty, and she's like, Yes. Anyways, um, after Rice has left, Tamilin tells Farah, bye girl, it isn't safe here. One last bang, and then you gotta go forever. And when Farah is leaving, Tamlin tells her, I loved you. And she basically is like, I know. It's like, bitch, why didn't you say it?

SPEAKER_02 11:25

Um, because she's an idiot. She's illiterate, she's 19. She grew up in a hovel. She's a bad artist. She just found out that there's hundreds of fairies watching her pick her ass in the hallways. So you're saying she's going through it? She's probably just really embarrassed. She's like, fuck, if I say it, like I'm gonna have to stay and all these people. Yeah, right. I think it was just like she was going through the motions in her mind.

SPEAKER_00 11:53

It was like, I just gotta get the hell out of here. She brought her hanging last night and then he kicked me out. Yeah. On his knees. Immediate ick. To the hottest man you've ever seen. Immediate ick. Yeah. Drier than the Sahara. I I feel it. So Farer returns beyond the wall to the human realm. Her family ain't poor no more, y'all. They live in a huge mansion. They got servants, high life over here. She chills for a few days and then she realizes she made a mistake.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

Like, girl, there's just no sense of urgency for her, hey.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

They threw a ball. She's like planting, working in the garden. It's like, oh, and it also takes her time to get back because she has to find her way through the like through the wall again. Like, it just it's a whole thing. She returns to the Springcourt Manor and it is abandoned. And it looks like it's been for a while, which like that must be some lush grass if it looks unmowed after like a week. Like exactly. She's like, it's abandoned here.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

And it's like, they've been gone for a week. Like well, I think like the door being kicked in and like the window smashed into it. It's probably though. That's okay. That's like okay. Yeah, also the grass is long.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Well, it mentions the grass is long.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

And I was like, so who cares? Like, this girl lived in a hobble. Who are you to judge? You've been rich for your new money, girl. This is old money. What are you judging?

SPEAKER_02 13:18

We never even thought about that. Her family needs wealth for like three days, and she comes out. She's like, do you even cut the grass for my arrival?

SPEAKER_00 13:26

Who hasn't been tending the grass here? Like, what the hell is going on? Uh, she finds old Barkface Alice, which was the main servant who helped her when she was here the first time. Yeah. And she is big mad at Fera. She's like, her and a stupid mortal heart. Okay, rude. I don't even know how to read. And I've only been consuming enough calories for brain function in the last few months. So, like, fuck you. Like, I was literally starving. I'm a lady now. We have right? I am new, money. Okay, you can't talk to me like that. Anyways, now that Tamlin and the court is gone, Alice can tell all the hot gosps. And let me say, does she ever? Woo! This would be the absolute best gossip session. Someone is telling decades-long gossip. She's bringing up the centuries. Centuries.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Centuries of the child pulling up a fucking chair. Oh, and we're not leaving this room until you finish to present day.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

Oh my god. I would be like kicking my feet, the smile on my face. This is not happy. And I'd be like, I'm not happy. I just can't control what's happening. Talk a little slower.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

I just gotta like write some of this shit down. It's good. And then I could tell people.

unknown 14:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:42

So Alice tells Farah way, way back, there was this great war over mortals, how the fate were treating them. There was the eventual forming. Um, they had to like I don't know. They were all pissed. We had one real piece of work, the king of Hibern, who like stands aside. He lives in this island that it's like kind of part of Prithian, and it's kind of not, right? Like it's it's like an offshoot, but it's he doesn't have a court. Anyways, a hot minute ago, he sent an emissary to smooth over the tensions with the courts, and that ginger mama was named Amarantha. Which this time we're not super happy with the ginger. So, my people, we have been persecuted enough. I don't know why she couldn't have been a blonde, but it's fine. It's fine. Turns out Amarantha was pissed because during the war, a human general named Jurian tricked her face sister into believing that he was into her, he wanted to use her for information, then he left her for dead. War ends, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Years later, the not so hot ginger, Amarantha has the haunts for Tammy, and she tells him. And Mr. Ego responds with, I would sooner marry a human than touch you. Bro, that's that's that's mean. And it's also like a little bit of a jab to her dead sister, like, bruh. It's just not great. Yeah. Come on. And hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned. So she basically tricks all of Prithian. We're gonna have this lovely party. Spring courts, wear your mask, symbolize Tam's shape-shifting abilities, and then she casts a spell locking away everyone's like fey powers or the majority of their fey powers, yeah, forcing the masks to stay on, and she tells Tamlin, You have seven times seven years, so 49. I don't know why she had to say it like because she's a whimsical bitch. Let her have her fucking whimsy. I always wondered, like, why not why not round up to 50? Why not say a year? Like, I what seven times seven. Seven times seven.

SPEAKER_02 16:49

I'm going to start saying weird shit like that to people because it would force people to do math, and then idiots like me would be like, oh fuck.

SPEAKER_00 16:58

That's why.

unknown 16:59

Right?

SPEAKER_00 17:00

I would like seven times seven hot dogs, please. I'd be like, what? Like just yeah, just harass people. Uh to and she's like, You got 49 years to make a human woman fall in love with you, but not just any woman, one with so much hate in her heart for us Faye that she would kill one of us, which is why that Faye Wolf was on the mortal side of the wall that day and fairy shot him. Uh, because he was obviously like sacrificing himself to break this curse. Like, whoa. Okay, also like bro. So like, what have you been up to?

SPEAKER_02 17:37

Like, bro. You mean this fucking guy was just fine with like sending out his people to be like, go get yourself killed today? And they were like, Yes, Tamlin.

SPEAKER_00 17:47

Well, she does say that it hurt his feelings and he wasn't super happy about it.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

So like, because these were his friends, his brethren, you know, yeah. His brethren. Uh Figar then begs Alice, like, show me how to get to Tamlin. And she's like, Okay, no problem. She leads her under the sacred mountain. And of course, she is instantly caught by the Adar, Ador, Adar, and Ador and taken to Amarantha's throne room. Welcome to the fucking horror show. There's Faye from all the other courts. Tammy's just sitting in this throne next to Amarantha, pretending not to know Farah. And then she sees Claire Better, that girl whose fake name she gave, and she was tortured horribly. There's a little chitty chatty, and Farah makes a deal. If you can solve my riddle, Tamlin goes free, and y'all live happily ever after. Would you like me to read you the riddle?

SPEAKER_02 18:49

I would like you to read me the riddle because every time I read the riddle, my brain the first time I read the riddle, I was like, ain't no fuck away I'm understanding this. I'm not a riddle person. Don't fucking speak riddles to me. Yes, okay.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

I'm gonna read you the riddle, and then I wanna ask. Um, okay, there are those who seek a lifetime, but we've never but never we meet. And those I kiss who trample me beneath ungrateful feet. At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair, but I bless all those who are brave enough to dare. By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet, but scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat. For though each of my strikes lands a plot a powerful blow, when I kill, I do it slow. Did you get it the first time? Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_02 19:40

You didn't! No, no, no, I don't have riddle brain, I have a much different kind of autism.

SPEAKER_00 19:48

Riddles are not it for me. Okay, well, I love riddles because I used to read riddle books as a child. And you know what? If I found one today, I'd probably read it. Um, but I was reading, there was actually quite a few people who didn't get it the first time. So millions, probably. Millions plus me. If you're a person who didn't get the riddle the first time, please email us at sweatcitykit at gmail.com because I would love to hear your impression of when she actually says the answer at the end. Because yeah, like I knew it and I was pissed for like five chapters.

SPEAKER_02 20:22

And then of course, when they like tell you what it is, you're like, obviously. Fuck of course it is. You think I'm stupid? Right. Yes, I am stupid.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Obviously, Fayra is also stupid, and she does not get the answer to the riddle. So she's like, okay, well, I'll give you three challenges, a month for you to complete each. Basically, in between, you gotta live in my dungeon, eat slop, work for me, and like what choice does the girl have? So she agrees.

SPEAKER_02 20:47

Like, you saw what they did to Claire. They fucking blood-eagled her on a cross, dude. Like, what obviously you gotta say yes at this point. It's not a rat torture.

SPEAKER_00 20:57

She gave you an option. Yeah, there's no option. It's like this or that, or option C, which also fucking sucks. So pick one. First challenge: defeat the middenguard worm. Okay, okay. This is one of the most badass chapters in a fantasy book, and it is my second favorite badass thing in an SJM book. Can you guess my number one?

SPEAKER_02 21:22

Um, like of all SJM books? All SJM books, yeah. Is it from Crescent City?

SPEAKER_00 21:27

Hell yeah, it is.

unknown 21:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

I am so excited to get to that. I know exactly what it is, and I'm not gonna say it out loud. No, because we because you're gonna hear me fucking hoot and holler when we get to it. Because I am as soon as I was like thinking that, I was like, oh, this is so fucking badass. I was like, you know what's even better? And we're gonna cover it. Okay, so against all odds, she's successful in killing this giant worm. She is injured after being stabbed with a bone, and the cut is getting filled with dirty mud. She's just sitting down in herself, she's got a fever, she's Mud. Ugh. My brother in Christ's covered in. Yes. Poo-poo mud. Okay. And after a few days, Re Sound shows up and he's like, hey, I give you a bargain. I will heal you, clean you up, whatever, in exchange for spending time at the night court with me every month.

SPEAKER_02 22:20

And Ferah being full bush in the dungeon, literally dying, is like, look here.

SPEAKER_00 22:26

What option do you have? You have no option. She's like, I'll do it to save Tamlin. I love him. But it's like, girl, what option do you have? You have nothing. You have nothing. That this is the option. So she takes it and she instantly gets this like beautiful, I don't know, arm piece, like a full sleeve tattoo. Her swirls and whirls, yeah. Her swirls and whirls. So second challenge. Fayrah and Lucian are put into these cages. Do they have spikes coming down? Is it fire? What is it?

SPEAKER_02 23:01

They have like spikes and it's like being lowered onto them.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

Yes.

unknown 23:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 23:05

So they're about to get pressed to death.

SPEAKER_00 23:07

Yeah. They're gonna be hamburger. Um, and Farah has three levers in front of her and a riddle. She needs to pick the correct leather for the riddle.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

Now because she did so good on the first riddle.

SPEAKER_00 23:22

Right? Well, it always kind of felt like this challenge was like weak and compared to the two. Like Amarantha did not know that she didn't know how to read. Like it just, I don't know. It it felt eh. It was like that's all you got. And she kind of like explains it away, but yeah, that's not true. You don't love it. This one, yeah, this one was kind of lame. Right? Not my fave. So they've had time. She's hanging out under the mountain. It's the night before the third challenge. Tamlin and Farah play seven minutes in heaven in the closet, and Reese catches them.

SPEAKER_02 23:58

Is the first time he's done anything other than be a fucking statue since she's been under the mountain. And he uses that time to make out with her. Cool. Yeah. Should have known you were blonde and you played the fiddle. We should have fucking known.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

It's the fiddle. The fiddle. The fiddle. Someone busts out, especially a fiddle of all. But someone who like holds eye contact. Remember that guy playing the loot recently that was following us around?

SPEAKER_02 24:25

Followed us the entire Ren fair playing the loot 10 paces away.

SPEAKER_00 24:30

Eye contact the entire time.

SPEAKER_02 24:32

Do I remember?

SPEAKER_00 24:34

Yeah. I remember. Did it make your panties soggy? Yeah. Actually, quite the opposite. Quite the opposite? Okay, yeah, because we should have fucking known. We should have known. Um and so Reese kicks him out and he starts making out with Fera, hiding what had just occurred to Amarantha when she busts in the door and is like, slutty humans. It's like, okay, girl. What are you literally thinking about?

SPEAKER_02 25:00

Essaying this, my lord, for like 49 years. But yeah, she said. Seven times seven years, okay? Right?

SPEAKER_00 25:06

Seven times some years. Yeah. This is only the second guy she's ever been with. So you know what? I don't know if you're one to fucking talk. So get the hell out of here. Um, the third challenge is upon us. Favor has presented three men and three ash stakes, and she needs to stab each in the heart. She successfully makes it through the first two. Successfully, it is gut-wrenching her. It is like ripping her apart. The third May, the third May, the third male. The male fee. The male Faye, the May, is Tamilin. And as she's about to stab him, she's like, Oh, should I stab myself? Should I stab him? Should I stab Amarantha? Like, what should I do?

SPEAKER_02 25:47

Like, someone's dying either way, girl. Just fucking stab.

SPEAKER_00 25:51

Just do it. She comes to the realization that someone had mentioned that Tamlin's heart had been turned to stone. And she stabs. And he doesn't die. She has succeeded. She has completed all the tasks. But of course, Amarantha, being the hoe that she is, she does not free Tamlin. She's like, girl, I never said that I would do this now. I said like when I was ready. You didn't get the riddle. So and she just starts beating the shit out of Faye Raoul. Holy sh shit.

SPEAKER_02 26:25

This was written, honestly. Like, I know we like joke about SJM books quite frequently and how Yeah, of course. You know, it's been we've been reading these for eons now. So I mean, I it's not too soon. We can joke about it now, okay? Yeah. It's not serious. It's not that fucking serious. And anybody who's gonna come at me for being too serious, it's not that serious. This all is so well written.

SPEAKER_00 26:46

Nothing is that serious to us.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

The way she wrote Pharaoh getting beat to fucking death, it hurt was chef's kiss, 10 out of 10. Give me 14 of them. It was so good when she's like describing the cracking of her fucking spine and like her neck being bent in an awkward angle. And I was just like, Absolutely. I actually think I'm dying with her right now. It was written so well.

SPEAKER_00 27:11

Oh, so well, so incredibly well. Facts. Um, and as she lies dying, she's like seeing all this shit is going on, she realizes the answer because she's like, I would right now die for Tamlin. And the answer is love. And she says it, and then she dies. But I did all of the things that you asked. Yeah. Also, I'm the only mortal trash in this whole fucking building. Like, why are you guys being so hard on me? I do not have the advantages that you have. I can't even read. Yeah. Like they are free from the curse. Everyone starts taking their masks off. Tamlin rips Amarantha's throat out of her body, and I think like stabs her through the eye. Like it some bad shit comes up. And Farah is floating in the other world, which we'll cover it in coming books. We'll explain what the hell this is. And she's watching this whole thing happening. All of the High Lords come up to Farah, who is now in Tamilin's lap. He's sobbing over her, and they drop a piece of light onto her, giving her life. She can't be able to do that. They all just drop a little seed onto her.

SPEAKER_02 28:33

Yeah, yeah. Let's just all gather around this dead girl and seed on her until she comes back to life. Which also, fuck you.

SPEAKER_00 28:42

That's just like fern gully when they plant the seeds, bring the forest back to life. Hell yeah, brother. Now I gotta go watch Ferngully again. It's so good. R.I.P. Tim Curry.

SPEAKER_02 28:57

Don't even don't even do that to me.

SPEAKER_01 29:03

Yeah. Fame. It was like jacked for some smog. Yeah. Also like increasing. Kind of giving like Reeson vibes. So Shadow Daddy, smog daddy, man.

And her and Tam Tam, there's onions. That's like pretty much like the first real spicy like scene in this book is at the very end. And then she's like, see ya. And then people went and got Tamilin tattoos. Yeah. That's a choice. Okay, so when you finished this book, okay. Yeah. First time we're talking in the way, way back machine. Would you have gotten a Tamilin tattoo? Were you into Tamil? Don't don't tell me the fiddle and the blonde hair. Were you into Tamilin?
