Daisy learns how to float, sorta – My brother pointed out that it looks like Daisy is kicking her feet like Luigi would to help keep herself floating, and now I kinda hope that one day Nintendo gives her a jump that’s a mix of Luigi’s scuttle jump and Peach’s float, just cause it'd be cute.

Personally I think that battle sims like showdown would still be a thing in the pokemon world. Cuz like picture this: you are ten years old and the only Pokémon you have access to is the elderly family Sunflora. You love Sunny to death but also literally every media you consume involves Pokémon battles and champions and cool ass fights. Sunny is too old to fight and your neighbor’s Gothita is too young. One day on the playground your friend tells you about this cool website that lets you battle pokemon on the computer. Later that night you boot up the family computer and instantly realize that this website lets you play as GROUDON (!!!!). There’s no going back from there.

The thing re Weird Al that I think is worth recognizing is illustrated by the Spike Jones Jr quote “One of the things that people don’t realize about Dad’s kind of music is, when you replace a C-sharp with a gunshot, it has to be a C-sharp gunshot or it sounds awful.“ It’s like really good parody has to do it all backwards and in heels, and Weird Al gets in there and counts the syllables and pours over the phrasing and word choices so that it all sounds precisely like the original, and then re-records the song, acknowledging the tiniest details of the recording, and also makes it a highly detailed spoof of an adjacent and absurdly unrelated piece of popular culture. I think really good parody has a love for the source materiel that’s impossible to fake. It takes real musicianship (or craft) to do and it usually gets tossed aside as “novelty” recording.

Sorcerer bbeg who subtle casts time stop mid monologue.

The party is trying to resist the allure of his moral justifications. And suddenly there's fire everywhere, and the bad guy is gone. They have to roll a dex save at disadvantage, and then initiative. Meanwhile sorcerer McGee is greater invisible, and covered in as many buffs as 2d4+1 rounds could get him.

Actually, nevermind. This is cruel. No one's players deserve this...

I've grown very fond of the Florans lately, thanks in no small part to the legacy Greenfinger. The sharp juxtaposition of an individual to the group really did it for me, it seems.

Unfortunately, this fond interest always comes with the side effect of really looking into the subject and finding all the things it could've been, but never was.

I just can't fully vibe with their canon theme. They're fascinating, they used to be even more fascinating in the old lore – but this just ain't it, chief. "Oh, we're deriving our fictional races from real-world cultures, let's imply that half of them tribal people are impulsive illiterate man-eaters." Sure, fam. Gotchu. I'm sure that's not exactly what you meant, but it still doesn't read too-too well. Not likey.

Anyway, I've been exploring other options. Here, have one. Hold it carefully, it's of great importance to me. It sits on these vicious vibrant plant people so well. The things they could've been.

Yayyy I finally actually finished something all the way through !!

Commisions

So, I've been trying to wiggle my way into actually doing commissions for awhile.

Since I really don't feel great about my linework and shading and whatnot, only sketches are available.

For now I'm just doing requests until I've completed 5 pieces or get a proper handle on if I actually want to do commissions-

I'll make a side blog for this thing eventually. If you want me to make you a font it's 10$ right now.

Anywho, I'm happy to answer questions on the matter! Maybe see y'all?
