Most people react to a menacing creature or potentially dangerous situation with some degree of fear, anger, or resignation. This guy reacts to it with glee. Why? Well, they've done a lot of research on it. They've always wanted to see it. They were the one person who believed it existed, and now they've been vindicated. Whatever the case, they're absolutely thrilled that it's here and close enough to kill them. Of course, the fanboy trance usually fades when they realize the implications of the whole "close enough to kill them" thing. In serious works, their encyclopedic knowledge gives them the means to neutralize the threat, or at least get themselves and their team out of harm's way. In more comedic works or works in which It Can Think, they could even graduate to full-fledged Fluffy Tamer and befriend the creature... or the creature could befriend them alone and continue to be hostile to the rest of their group. Alternatively, the fanboy never realizes he is in danger and skates out unharmed through blind luck. Obviously, while this usually applies to fictional fantasy dangers, this can also apply to threats someone might encounter in Real Life, especially natural dangers like tornadoes, tigers, or sharks. Compare Villain Respect, Worthy Opponent, Misaimed Fandom, Nightmare Fetishist, Casual Danger Dialogue, In Love with Your Carnage, Measuring the Marigolds, Ugly Cute, The Xenophile, and Arson, Murder, and Admiration. Contrast Wowing Cthulhu, where the abomination admires you, and Horror Struck, where the character was not expecting the monster to be real, and proof of its existence brings their brain to a screeching halt. |

A downplayed example from Psych, but in the Season 4 finale, Mary Lightly finally meets Mr. Yang, the infamous murderer he spent several years tracking when he accompanies Shawn and Gus to get answers out of her regarding Mr. Yin at the asylum.

Raina in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gives this impression. She appears to work in her incredibly unethical, extremely illegal, and very dangerous field primarily to get the opportunity to be close to and create super-beings. She's thrilled at the chance to get to talk to the Clairvoyant, even though the reason is because he just killed her predecessor, and is very disappointed when he turns out to be just a very well informed person without superpowers, especially because he doesn't share her interests. | |

He is furious when Oram shoots it dead, showing that he cares more about the dangerous organisms than he does about humans, which is later revealed to be in part because he indirectly created said dangerous organisms through his twisted experiments and genocidal actions. | |

Several in the Alien movies. In Alien, science officer Ash acts like this toward the title creature. Bishop displays this sort of behavior in Aliens when studying a Facehugger carcass, implying that he'll turn bad by drawing parallels to how Ash, the other synthetic person that once came into contact with the Aliens, reacted to the creature. It's a Red Herring; Bishop remains a good guy. Alien: Resurrection: Dr. Gediman admires the Newborn, as well as the normal Aliens. Ripley 8 has an odd fascination with the Xenomorphs as well due to being a hybrid clone. The comics are no better, either. Every single villain is quite willing to escalate from waxing poetic about the Xenos to have many people killed in order to admire the Alien's complete lack of pity as they kill. It is somewhat implied that this is one of the side effects of the Xenomorphs' innate psionic capabilities, but many of them were also established to be sociopathic bastards beforehand. Alien: Covenant: David and one of the Neomorphs have a very creepy moment where David attempts to communicate and stand in awe of it even though he just saw it brutally kill someone. He is furious when Oram shoots it dead, showing that he cares more about the dangerous organisms than he does about humans, which is later revealed to be in part because he indirectly created said dangerous organisms through his twisted experiments and genocidal actions. |

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Iron Bull reveals that the Qunari revere dragons for their power and believe that their horns are due to the Qunari having some kind of connection to dragons. At the same time, the Qunari do not hesitate to slay dragons because they embody raw chaotic fury, and the Qun abhors chaos. Bringing Iron Bull with you to fight high dragons is one way to gain approval from him. | |

Harry Potter: Hagrid is prone to this almost to a fault when it comes to dangerous magical animals. Basically, if he makes a point of professing that it's a very misunderstood creature, then it's probably safe to bet that you should leave the job of handling it up to him lest you lose a few body parts. The Elder Wand apparently tends to attract this level of fascination. Ollivander mentions that many wandmakers have been fascinated with the idea of studying the wand's unique properties despite its dark past and dangerous power, with Gregorovitch being one such wandmaker. |

In Jurassic World, Simon Masrani is both terrified and captivated by the Indominus rex. And although Hoskins sees Owen's Velociraptors as mere tools of war, he's also shown to be rather awe-inspired by them. He tentatively asks Barry if he can touch a restrained Delta, which he does with a little boy's jittery excitement. | |

In the Alien Campaign of Aliens vs. Predator (2010), your character, Specimen 6, is saved at birth by Weyland when she shows special intelligence in dodging the traps for the chestbursters. And once more at the end of the Alien Campaign, Six is captured rather than killed due to the 6 brand on her forehead. Karl Weyland also states in an audio log that he seeks to be more like the Xenomorphs, admiring their adaptability and survival adaptions. |

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! gives us Yoriko Yasaka, who treats the Lovecraftian deities living in her house as normal guests, and even considers their actions adorable, mainly because their job is to protect her beloved son Mahiro (and they've saved both his and her lives already). She even gives her approval to Nyarko (Nyarlathotep)'s romantic pursuit of Mahiro. However, she makes it very clear that if any lines are crossed, deities or not, the forks are coming out — and she has them scared shitless. | |

World of Warcraft: During her Warbringer cinematic, Azshara met with the Old God N'zoth and was shown a vision of the Black Empire which one dominated Azeroth. Where most mortals are driven insane on seeing a glimpse of the Empire, Azshara's response was a stunned "Magnificent". She repeats this admiring word later when she sees that N'zoth has agreed to her deal and transformed her people into the naga. | |

The Amazons in Age of Wonders: Planetfall lean towards this trope. For them, it's not enough to use genetic engineering to breed a bloodthirsty Tyrannodon from the ground up. It's not enough to tame that Tyrannodon and ride it to war. Clearly, it is necessary to also outfit said Tyrannodon with laser cannons. | |

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters: The AniGoji trilogy, featuring one of the more villainous incarnations of Godzilla to date, sees rival Human Aliens Metphies and Galu-gu respectively express vocal awe and admiration for the God of Destruction. An interesting case, as both characters are each knowingly supporting a monster which is far more destructive than Godzilla (Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla respectively) and which they know will claim their lives at the end of their service. | |

EarthBound (1994) : Pokey Minch speaks highly of the universal cosmic destroyer Giygas, and eventually becomes his right-hand man. This admiration is short-lived, however, as he pulls the plug on the machine sustaining Giygas's mind and proceeds to call him an "almighty idiot." | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: When Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Luminara are captured by Genosian zombies and about to be mind-controlled by brain slugs, Obi-Wan is far too interested in the process. Captain Tarkin admires the design of the Citadel, a brutal Separatist maximum-security prison, even as the Jedi are helping him escape from it. Ahsoka calls him out on it, but Anakin concedes that he has a point. Maul hates and fears Sidious, but once Order 66 is issued, and he realizes the full scope to which his master manipulated the war, he can't help but acknowledge the genius of the old man. |

In Dracula, according to Van Helsing, the Count "must indeed have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land. If it be so, then was he no common man: for in that time, and for centuries after, he was spoken of as the cleverest and the most cunning, as well as the bravest of the sons of the 'land beyond the forest'". | |

In Overlord (2012), Ainz gets this reaction a few times. After being subjugated, the Lizardmen begin to revere Ainz as a god. Fluder Paradyne drops to his knees and weeps Tears of Joy when his Aura Vision shows him Ainz' immense magical power. When Ainz summons the Dark Young to massacre the Kingdom's army, most of the Empire's knights are terrified and eventually flee in panic. A few of them stay still however, utterly mesmerized by the sight of such power. |

The Stormlight Archive: Shardbearers — nobles who fight in ornate Powered Armor and Soul Cutting BFSes that are believed to be holy relics — are even more dangerous than usual against soldiers who have never seen one before, because they are often tempted to just stand and stare at the awe-inspiring sight, even as they are cut down. Shallan has this reaction to the chasmfiends, house-sized crustaceans that eat humans and move far faster than should be possible. When she and Kaladin find one in the chasms, he keeps having to drag her away while she tries to get a better look at it for her sketchbook. |

Pacific Rim: Dr. Newton Geizsler has an absorbing love for Kaiju as biological masterpieces. So gushing is his admiration that he refers to a Kaiju as "twenty-five hundred tons of awesome" in front of a Jaeger pilot whose brother, as Newt is well aware, was killed by a Kaiju. His lab partner, Dr. Hermann Gottlieb, refers to Newt as a "Kaiju groupie", implying his attitude isn't uncommon. At least one cult also worships the Kaiju, even making their temple inside one's skull. They believe that the Kaiju are The Scourge of God sent to punish them for their sins. In Pacific Rim: Uprising, the Kaiju-worshipping cult has grown large enough to stage a rather nasty demonstration at PPDC Headquarters, and Newt has a kaiju brain in his room that he treats like a girlfriend and drifts with regularly, leading to the Precursors controlling his mind and making him nearly destroy the world. |

They are an extraterrestrial organism that propagates by assimilating other organisms and slaughtering non-infected members of the host specie. There is already an outbreak of them in Europe, leaving ghost towns behind as their numbers grow. Dr. Belhem has the dangerous idea that the Bem hold the key to human development and always speaks in excitement about how they can shape the future of humanity.

Mass Effect has both Liara and Shiala expressing regret over the destruction of the Thorian as it was an unique and ancient life-form. In Mass Effect 2, The Illusive Man wants you to preserve the Collector Base for Cerberus, in order to study its technology. A base that was liquefying kidnapped humans to turn into a Reaper. One of your followup dialogue options reads 'This place is an abomination'. Much later, in Mass Effect 3 Garrus explains to a handy crewman how perfect the Reapers are as Eldritch Abomination killing machines. When the crewman is horrified, Garrus adds that if you can't respect your enemy's strengths, you'll never truly understand them, and thus they'll constantly catch you off-guard with new horrors you weren't expecting. Similarly, the turian primarch remarks to Shepard that the soldier in him admires the Reapers' proficiency at warfare (in particular, that they're better at turian tactics than the turians are). The turian in him knows he's watching the death of 14,000 years of civilization. Most of Paragon Shepard's teammates repeatedly think that they must have gone off their rocker, since Shepard seems to have a consistant need to seek out, befriend and then earn the loyalty of every ridiculously scary alien race in the Galaxy. Highlights include having a Geth wearing part of Shepard's former armour as a tribute to them, having an Odd Friendship with the Rachni Queen and semi-adopting a teenage Krogan. Inverted with the Reapers, who freely acknowledge that they have come to admire Shepard's uncanny knack of being able to repeatedly thwart them. In the second game, after Shepard was temporarily killed, the Reapers even ordered that Collectors to try to retrieve their body for study, simply because they couldn't fathom how a single human could be so utterly dangerous! A more straightforward inversion comes in the form of the Leviathans, an Eldritch Abomination race that admires Shepard for being the first thing in any cycle to scare the Reapers. It is due to this that they agree to help them in this cycle. Mass Effect: Andromeda: A logical Ryder will express admiration for the kett's intelligence, drive and hard work, while also acknowledging that everything about it is horrible, as does Dr. T'pero. Peebee's reaction to first seeing the thirty-foot high robotic killing machine that is a Remnant Architect? Gasping in awe and calling it beautiful. |

David from The Reckoners Trilogy is at once an Epic-killing Reckoner and a massive Epic fanboy, frequently gushing over how cool some Epics' powers are while plotting how to assassinate them. At one point, he enthusiastically compliments an Epic on her abilities while they're fighting each other to the death, and shortly thereafter tops that by asking her for an autograph. She's... nonplussed. | |

MonsterVerse: The Titans tend to attract awe and amazement from human characters, Monarch in particular, at least once per film, although it should be noted that this is mostly directed at benevolent Titans who are humanity's protectors rather than at the more malevolent Titans (though the latter aren't completely exempt necessarily). It should also be noted that some characters, such as Riccio in the graphic novel Skull Island: The Birth of Kong and Emma Russell in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) leave out the "Abomination" part entirely and act as something of a Psycho Supporter to the Titans which makes said characters a threat to the safety of everyone else. | |

L from Death Note. He only takes on cases that interest him and though understated he finds his Kira suspect, Light Yagami, to be quite fascinating and regards him as a Worthy Opponent. L gets very annoyed at the appearance of a Second Kira, a copycat killer, because it's not HIS Kira and not playing by the same rules. In the live action movies he's clearly entertained to watch Light manipulate Naomi Misora on the monitors. | |

All your other party members are disgusted and want it dead. Racter in Shadowrun: Hong Kong is utterly awestruck by the sight of the Yama King, Quian Ya, and can only marvel at how magnificent the Queen of a Thousand Teeth is. This coming from a guy who's utterly terrified of the Triad boss you spend the whole campaign working for. |

The Elder Scrolls: In Morrowind, Mages Guild Master Wizard Skink-in-Tree's-Shade offers a quest in which he asks you to trap the soul of an Ash Ghoul for study. Additionally, he offers several quests related to vampires. While not quite a Nightmare Fetishist, he does have a healthy respect for these creatures. Hermaeus Mora, Daedric Prince of Knowledge, in Skyrim practically lures the player into believing this towards him. Sure he's shifty, malevolent, and downright creepy, but in the end he helps you like a best friend. |

Pokémon: Cynthia, from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, loves learning and teaching new facts about the Creation Trio. Especially Giratina. Iris in Pokémon Black and White thinks Cynthia's Garchomp — a fearsome Landshark and pseudo-legendary pokémon — is 'the cutest thing'. She probably has that opinion about any strong Dragon type, though. Nemona in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet gushes over the Great Tusk/Iron Treads (a giant, prehistoric version of Donphan, or its robotic future counterpart, respectively) you fight in Area Zero when everyone else was startled by its appearance. She also runs off to explore Area Zero (which is said to be extremely dangerous) while everyone else is hanging back and talking, and she comes back saying how awesome it is. Kieran from the Teal Mask DLC in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet idolizes the ogre that the rest of his village shuns. They see it as a vicious monster that attacked three innocent Pokémon; Kieran think's it's cool for being strong and independent. Ogerpon is much less of an "abomination" than the villagers thought... though Kieran's reasons for admiring her also turn out to be a bit off. |

Godzilla: Godzilla 2000: After Godzilla wipes out both the Millennians, and Orga, Anti-Villain Katagiri, the head of CCI and main human baddie who had spent the entire movie trying to kill Godzilla (and the main human hero) just stares up at Godzilla, allowing the Monster King to kill him. Best described as both a Villainous BSoD and a Dying Moment of Awesome. Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters: The AniGoji trilogy, featuring one of the more villainous incarnations of Godzilla to date, sees rival Human Aliens Metphies and Galu-gu respectively express vocal awe and admiration for the God of Destruction. An interesting case, as both characters are each knowingly supporting a monster which is far more destructive than Godzilla (Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla respectively) and which they know will claim their lives at the end of their service. MonsterVerse: The Titans tend to attract awe and amazement from human characters, Monarch in particular, at least once per film, although it should be noted that this is mostly directed at benevolent Titans who are humanity's protectors rather than at the more malevolent Titans (though the latter aren't completely exempt necessarily).

Unfortunately, he is so astonished at seeing an actual alien that he assumes the Thing is a being with great knowledge that it could share with mankind (instead of a homicidal brute, which it actually is and all the other characters note), and pulls a number of dastardly acts in an attempt to understand it (and make contact with it). | |

But the longer he fought them, the more his methods began to emulate Phyrexia's and the more he came to admire Phyrexian technology. This eventually reached a head when he and his allies ventured into Phyrexia itself to destroy it. As they ventured deeper into Phyrexia, Urza realized that it embodied everything he ever wanted the world to be. When Urza finally entered the heart of Phyrexia, Yawgmoth asked him what he desired. Urza then betrayed his allies and everything he once fought for by bowing down to Yawgmoth, claiming that he only wished to stand by his side. | |

Game of Thrones: Cersei seems quite impressed with Gregor Clegane's killing power in Season 4 and is keen to ensure he retains it after his near death. She's also very curious about Qyburn's Mad Doctor talents, giving him the patronage the Citadel so emphatically refused, and she's obviously very pleased by the results: Ser Robert Strong. Cersei seems quite disappointed during a flashback to her teens when Maggy the Frog is an ordinary-looking woman and not a terrifying monster as described. Qyburn himself is the only member of Cersei's party not paralyzed with horror and disgust when they are presented with an active Wight as proof of the looming Zombie Apocalypse. While everyone around him is suitably terrified, he gets out of his chair and sneaks in for a closer look, as if he's just seen what he wants for his next Name-Day. Euron is one of the few people to observe the undead Gregor Clegane with admiration instead of horror. |

Many biologists would freely admit that they were inspired by monster movies like Jaws or Jurassic Park to partake in these fields of science. While some would lament on the scientific inaccuracies of the films, especially if it leads to public hysteria against the actual animal like Jaws did with sharks, they still acknowledge that the films did inspire them to learn more about the real deal. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Adeptus Mechanicus have a notoriously poor record when it comes to uncovering Necron Tomb Worlds. They become awed by all the shiny, advanced technology, poke a little too far, wake the Necrons up, and die horribly. Also, radical Inqusitors tend to end up this way. Often used to highlight just how far they've fallen into heresy. One Eldar philosopher called Uthan the Perverse admired the Orks for being a culture (such as it is) that has found a way to thrive in their crapsack galaxy as, since they are simple and barbaric, they're largely happy being so and aren't bothered by the Big Questions. In contrast, he thinks his own race has already failed miserably and that humanity is also on the road to ruin. Commander Farsight of the T'au also has a fascination with the Orks, acknowledging that the Orks' own love of battle is not that different from his own. |

Jurassic Park: Muldoon from Jurassic Park sees the Velociraptors as Worthy Opponents, to the point his last words are complimenting them for sneaking up on him. In Jurassic World, Simon Masrani is both terrified and captivated by the Indominus rex. And although Hoskins sees Owen's Velociraptors as mere tools of war, he's also shown to be rather awe-inspired by them. He tentatively asks Barry if he can touch a restrained Delta, which he does with a little boy's jittery excitement. |

Doctor Who does this practically Once per Episode — the Doctor is sort of an intergalactic Crocodile Hunter. "The Green Death": After the Doctor kills the giant insect that the giant maggot has evolved into, he says that it's beautiful. "Robot": While battling a robot intent on killing him, the Doctor is able to disable it by putting his hat over its eyes. It suddenly stops moving, and he hubristically goes right up to it, smiling and whispering to himself, "Extraordinary. Extraordinary." Of course, this just leads to the robot karate chopping him in the neck. This is deconstructed in "Tooth and Claw", when Queen Victoria declares the Doctor to be persona non grata in the British Empire due to his flippant treatment of horrible monsters. In her defense, the first thing he said when he saw the werewolf was "That's beautiful." "The Girl in the Fireplace": The Doctor examines the delicate clockwork on elaborately costumed (18th Century French Versailles) killer clockwork robots, and exclaims "You are beautiful!" "Planet of the Dead": Christina gives the Doctor a What the Hell, Hero? when he expresses his admiration for the all-devouring Horde of Alien Locusts, but then admits that she's impressed too. "The Beast Below": The Doctor does this to a Space Whale while standing in its mouth. He even says he'd love to see the stomach, then hastily adds "but not right now". "The God Complex": The Doctor simply cannot help but sneak a glimpse of the homicidal Minotaur, even while he and his companions are hiding from it. A rare non-Doctor example in "Asylum of the Daleks": The leader of the Daleks explains that they don't simply destroy the aberrant (and therefore imperfect) Daleks because they find the hatred born of their insanity to be beautiful. When they add that perhaps one reason they haven't (yet) destroyed the Doctor is similar (they find his hatred of them beautiful), he isn't amused. The Doctor sums this trope up in "Under the Lake": |

At one point the team interrogate another artist played by Jeffrey Tambor who had met the killer at some point.

Both guards only have the torches mounted on their weapons to see with, while Riddick can, of course, see everything with his eye shine. When one of the guards is effortlessly grabbed and ripped limb from limb by one of the monsters, Riddick simply murmurs "beautiful..." in an awestruck manner. | |

Case in point, the episode I Need Light where the bad guy is exploiting the (anachronistically early) invention of the motion picture camera in order to make snuff films. Reid takes time to point out that the technology is amazing. | |

The Fly (1986) has a unique example: Seth Brundle, a brilliant scientist, comes to see himself in this manner as his inexorable mutation into a fly-human hybrid continues and grows progressively more gruesome. He shows off his ability to Wall Crawl to his despairing lover, dubs what he's becoming "Brundlefly," and stores many of the body parts that are decaying and falling off of him in his medicine cabinet, aka "The Brundle Museum of Natural History." After all, he is becoming something that never existed. "Don't you think that's worth a Nobel Prize or two?" It's something of a Gallows Humor coping mechanism for him, as he knows that the transformation is ultimately a sort of terminal illness that's slowly robbing him of his humanity and unable to be reversed. | |

Code Prime: Lloyd Asplund can barely contain his enthusiasm whenever he’s in the presence of a Cybertronian. Regardless if they're Autobots, who Britannia is at war with, or Decepticons, who Britannia is “allied� with. He's also fascinated with the Spark Extractor in R2, prompting Jazz to ask Cecile how she puts up with him on a regular basis. In the R2 chapter Ghosts, Dr. Arkeville is the only human who is not horrified by the Driller. While Bartley is frightened out of his mind when Shockwave brings it to the Geass Order and lets it roam around freely, Arkeville meanwhile calls it beautiful. In the Epilogue of R2 Shamna meets with Predaking, and immediately deduces that he’s an intelligent being, and not a mindless beast as everyone else believes. When Predaking transforms into his cybertronian form, Shamna calls him incredibe. |

Amphibia: In "Froggy Little Christmas", the I.T. Gals' response to Andrias' drone turning a giant Santa float into an actual, hostile robot is to thoroughly geek out, and they need to be reminded to start driving for their lives when the robot targets their float. | |

From Turtles Forever: The original animated incarnation of the Shredder absolutely gushes with unrestrained admiration as he watches a video file on the much more powerful and deadly Utrom Shredder, Ch'rell, from the then-current version of TMNT. Then he actually gets to meet Ch'rell. Let's just say it doesn't bode well for 1987 Shredder. In fact, by the end of the movie, it's not good for every single existing universe within the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle multiverse. This isn't limited to villains; several times in the 2012 series Donatello steals and tries to reverse engineer Kraang technology (most notably their robots), finding it fascinating. |

In Pacific Rim: Uprising, the Kaiju-worshipping cult has grown large enough to stage a rather nasty demonstration at PPDC Headquarters, and Newt has a kaiju brain in his room that he treats like a girlfriend and drifts with regularly, leading to the Precursors controlling his mind and making him nearly destroy the world. | |

In Meg, almost everyone who encounters the Megalodon has a mix of this and gut-wrenching fear. The fear usually becomes dominant since being that close to the Meg usually means it's going to try to eat you. | |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Resident Heroic Comedic Sociopath Whirl's reaction when he eventually encounters his Arch-Enemy Killmaster is a mixture of terror (because despite his claims earlier in the comic he's never actually beaten Killmaster) and a vaguely disconcerting respect for one of the few people in the universe more of a Blood Knight than Whirl himself. Froid's downfall into full-time a Psycho Psychologist involved his fascination with Sunder, a depraved Serial Killer with a taste for Mind Rape. |

A Growing Fire In My Heart: Downplayed example that crosses with Distracted by the Sexy. When Ember sees Spike's gigantic rampaging form, brought about by a magical potion that was forced on him, she can't help finding him both intimidating and a bit handsome. She briefly wonders if this is close to what Spike will look like in a few hundred years as he grows up naturally, but quickly pushes those thoughts aside, focusing on saving Spike first. | |

Invoked and discussed in the The Last Podcast on the Left three-parter about Carl Panzram, a serial rapist and mass murderer from the early 1900s. Marcus Parks says that true-crime authors love Panzram due to his Affably Evil tendencies and well-written confessions. By the end of the series, Henry Zebrowski decides that Panzram is his favorite Heavy Hitter. | |

The Jeff Corwin Experience: Jeff Corwin clearly has a lot of respect and admiration for venomous snakes and dangerous reptiles. However, despite displaying a similar level of Manchild glee, Jeff also tended to be much more cautious than Steve Irwin when it came to the overall handling of certain animals or situations. | |
