i need to complain to someone and you seem like you would understand. i'm trying to identify plants from a genus that essentially has One botanist working on its taxonomy, so the keys in this one guy's various publications use all the same completely unexplained terminology and i'm dying. one of the distinguishing features is whether the bracts(which are leaves) are "leaf-like" or "bracteose"(bract-like). please my dude, they are all both

the perks of being so far on an invisible cutting edge include being able to go to one (1) person who is like, the Expert Person for definitive advice or guidance and they can give you as close to a real answer as is possible in academia on earth at this moment. unfortunately this also means you are at the whims of what they consider definitive advice or guidance as is possible at this moment

Infinite Realms in my main Cheese Melt AU goes one of 3 ways:

-the episode's events don't happen because Vlad never becomes bored enough to spy on the Fentons, and instead he and Dani play board games and watch My Little Pony all evening.

-Vlad does go on his infi-map stealing adventure with Dani tagging along, and it turns into a father-daughter game of cat & mouse vs Danny and friends through the various realms.

-The Dani-less option where the episode goes exactly as it does in canon and the final gag of the episode is a Dani cameo as she tries to thaw out her Vlad-sicle with a hair dryer.

Volo walked through his rift from one problem directly into another

I was talking with my friend the other day about some of the fight scenes between/with Emmet and Volo in Mahoumas. Before Emmet loses the penultimate match, Volo actually tries to play nice in earlier interactions. He tries to get people on his side so it's easier to enact his plans, but since that failed with Ingo, he tries it on Emmet. Spoiler: it still doesn't work.

For some extra background details, the reason it doesn't work is because as part of the blessings they are given, Ingo and Emmet are able to see chaos and disordered energy. Champions (ones that are hired properly at least) are completely free of this energy naturally, that's what makes them "pure of heart" and safe to employ under divinities. Regular humans have varying amounts of this, which can range from the average noneffective amount to higher concentrations that lead to malice or suffering. Volo on the other hand, because he made his deal with the very source of chaos, basically lost his human body to be remade out of this corrupted energy entirely. To Ingo and Emmet, he doesn't even look human. He looks like a diseased mass taking the shape and mannerisms of a person. That's why no amount of him talking nice and being friendly will make them let up, he is something to be eradicated to them.

Bonus: what makes Emmet hard-hitting but brittle is corruption. Losing Ingo made him lose his stability, which is why he couldn't transform for a while after. In his eyes, he is no longer pure, because that break let that energy into his heart. It's what makes him inevitably fail later on. This is an old sketch but this is what he sees in his reflection.

Let me know if you guys would be interested in a worldbuilding lore post about the Divine Code for champions, holy weapons, chaos as a force in humans and pokemon, or anything else regarding the way things work in this AU. I'm more of an artist than a writer which is why I haven't put it down yet, but I'll be happy to share if you guys want to know more.

Legend of Arceus AU - Salesman

“Hmhmhmhm!…”

I like to believe that all Links occasionally get glimpses of their past lives, like the previous Links can warn their successors of an otherwise unseen danger.

The Hero of the Wild’s many encounters with the Yiga Clan, often disguised as merchants, made him immediately wary of Volo - this momentary glimpse of another smiling salesman from a Time long past only confirmed that his instincts were correct.

Volo, in turn, was wise to Link’s suspicion, & it only made his curiosity grow.

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

Stop just asking "is it normal?" and start asking "is it harming anyone?" Lots of harmful things are normalized in this society and lots of things considered weird or rare are completely harmless. Whether something is considered normal or common shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether it's okay
