which gym leader would like the anime seven deadly sins?

I've never seen that anime, so I don't know. Like I said, I haven't watched many of them, and that one isn't very high on my watch list right now in general. I have a lot of things I want to get through.

for a bit of context, isn’t that the really bad one which was then dubbed into English nearly completely improv

Apparently tumblr changed its tagging system so yes all your tags will now show up in searches rather than just the first 5 but they also fucked up a little because they made it work like a partial search as well now, meaning if you make a single tag called “star wars spoilers” the post will show up in searches for just the term “star wars” or just the words star, wars, war, spoiler or spoilers.

Nessa: Ah yes, the five love languages.

*Points to Piers*: My parents never told me they're proud of me.

*Points to Leon*: I'm so tired please just let me rest for five minutes.

*points to Raihan*: I love Stuff.

*points to Sonia*: Please pay attention to me.

*points to Piers*: Touch starved.

Piers: HEY, WHY DID I GET TWO?!

If Opal *wants* to participate but can’t figure out how to play, they just put her in spectator mode/adventure mode with fly enabled, teach her how to fly around, and she has a good time watching what everyone else is doing. Not everyone can build a house, but almost everyone can look at said house and appreciate the final product. Bonus points if only Raihan (probably the server admin) knows about this, and she spooks the other players by sneaking up on them/following them for a while until they turn around, especially since she’s probably just a Steve or playing on Bede’s account. Don’t let her figure out the chat or she will demand you make her something pink

I recently was going through your blog and found that someone asked what games each gym leader would play, and inspired this ask. There are some that don't even play BUT for the few that do, what kind of player are they in Minecraft? (Builder, Survivalist, Redstone Engineer, ect.)

I’m the most useless Minecraft player there is. All I wanna do is fish.

Milo is, surprise surprise, a farmer. If they were all on a communal server, there would be literal rolling fields of crops. He’d walk far and wide to find all the seeds and plants.

Nessa is an explorer. She wanders with maps. The communal server’s base would have a big wall of maps she’s filled. She loves to find shipwrecks and follow the treasure maps.

Kabu collects animals. He has a big pen for all the animals he gathered.

Bea farms mobs and goes with the miner to protect them.

Allister builds. He makes crazy bases, like an underground evil lair in a dragon skull.

Opal doesn’t play minecraft. (I always say this, but she’s really old and I just can’t see it)

Gordie is a miner. He’s constantly looking for things.

Melony is a builder. She makes animal pens for Kabu and built a greenhouse for Milo.

Piers is pretty much just a survivalist. He hangs out at the base, but he likes to wander for days.

Raihan is the only one on the server that knows how to use Redstone. Also, the only person alive who knows how to brew potions.

Leon does whatever job needs to be done, but he does easy stuff like fishing.

this is the ask giving u freedom to tell us all about curry (I think I know at least vaguely where ur gonna go with this tho lol)

I’m sure everyone knows what I’m referring to. It’s not exactly hidden knowledge.

But if you’d taken a history class past maybe middle school, you’ll probably know about England and their relationship with India. It’s been a while, so I might get some facts wrong.

India was colonized, is that the word?, by England for a while, and the communication between them was pretty frequent. I believe it was the 1800s that curry became a popular food item in England due to this, and after India was released from their grip, the dish just stayed. Curry was even spread to other parts of the world, like the Caribbean, due to Indian indentured servants during this time.

Well, I find it fascinating that they chose curry over a traditional England dish, though I can see why. England dishes, are like, what, pretzels on fire? Beans on toast? Even tea didn’t come from England at first, and that’s what most people remember it for. (It’s from Asia and it was an accident, in case you didn’t know. The spread of Asian culture around the world long before England became a powerhouse and things like the Silk Road are also extremely fascinating. I like history but only before the United States became a thing. It gets boring after that.)

And curry powder is an ingredient you can get for it in the game. Curry power, to my knowledge, didn’t even exist until the dish became popular in England. So that right there proves that the dish wasn’t grandfathered in as a modern traditional English dish, to me at least. And I am someone who LOVES food and the history and culture of it. I am obsessed with learning dishes from around the world. So to my knowledge, the recipes made in the game are very much not actually authentic Indian curry.

Much like how Asian food was subtly modified by Asian immigrant during the gold rushes in the US (once again, very fascinating and will change your view on American Asian restaurants. They added a lot of meat to their dishes to appeal to the miners in the area, real traditional dishes weren’t selling very well. This is also when jeans were invented. I live somewhere where the gold rushes are a big part of the local history), curry, over time, has been modified subtly to fit the tastes of the English, spices are way down, the ingredients used now are shoehorned in to replace the harder to access Indian ingredients, etc., things to make “authentic Indian restaurants” perform better. . This kind of process leads people to believe that it’s authentic, when, if you went to the place of origin, you’ll get something completely different. It’s happening right now in the US in regards to Central American cuisine. (this kind of thing happens a lot in history.)

Well the history of England and India’s relationship is a pretty big deal, so it makes sense that there’s a few nods to it in Galar.

I’m not one to speculate about new regions, and I know a lot of people think the next one will be based on Egypt, which would be cool, but I think an Indian inspired region is most likely next in line. Because of the strong influences, like the curry, and a few pokemon. And no one can even try to deny it, Copperajah is an Indian looking pokemon. Nothing like that would exist in an English environment naturally. Even just the fact that it’s an elephant. I think that Rose might be the pokemon version of Indian as well, since the devs decided to make Copperajah his ace. Or at least, he’s got roots in this speculative region (haha because his name is a plant).

The evidence for Egypt is there, and I think that would be cool, but they’re literally proving the existence of an Indian region right in front of us, even showing us that there’s history between them. If it’s not next, it’s very soon, I think.

Thank you for letting me rant. This is the kind of thing I love to do. And the curry thing was something I picked up on immediately and always wanted to talk about. Also, I’ve tried English curry, though unfortunately have not been able to make a curry with a real Indian recipe. It was good, but there’s all kinds of curry. I’m constantly widening my horizons, as you guys saw with my earlier posts about the ramen and spring rolls (and yes, I know that those weren’t authentic spring rolls I made. They came from an air fryer recipe book. Still tasted great though.)

SWSH characters by which blackout club voice they host/will host when they grow up

Milo: going to be honest with you, I have no fucking clue

Nessa: Also hard to call. Possibly THEE-I-DARE, CHASE-THE-SUN, or SEED-THE-GRUDGE. nessa fans weigh in

Kabu: probably CHASE-THE-SUN

Allister: Isn’t old enough to host yet, but he’s almost certainly going to host IN-HER-TEETH.

Bea: Isn’t old enough to host yet. Probably going to host CHASE-THE-SUN, although there’s no way HUNT-THE-STRONG isn’t also keeping an eye on her.

Opal: LAUGH-LAST

Melony: another difficult one, I don’t have any ideas for her

Gordie: THEE-I-DARE

Piers: DIE-FOR-YOU. 110%. Zero doubts.

Raihan: you know what? fuck it. Raihan hosts THE-MEASURE-CUTS. I’ll fight you all over this

Leon: CHASE-THE-SUN

Sonia: THE-MEASURE-CUTS

Hop: Isn’t old enough to host yet. Honestly, equally strong cases could be made for CHASE-THE-SUN, THEE-I-DARE, and THE-MEASURE-CUTS.

Marnie: Isn’t old enough to host yet. She was kind of bland in the games tbh, and I don’t know enough about fanon!marnie to decide here. Maybe THEE-I-DARE?

Bede: Isn’t old enough to host yet. Was on a track towards HUNT-THE-STRONG, but after being taken in by Opal, it’s less certain now.

Rose: HUNT-THE-STRONG probably

Oleana: DIE-FOR-YOU probably

Lots of CTS here, which ig makes sense bc they’re athletes lol. If anyone’s interested in helping me decide on the missing ones I can tell y’all more about the options

[swishy-imagines]

me: no one cares about this other game you like or has ever even heard of it they just wanna see pokemon content

brain: what if you combined the two

brain: make the post
