[Perhaps messing with an ultra wormhole wasnt the BEST idea, Andrew "Devi" Devious thought while the giant claw launched through the rip in time/space. Maybe he should have better weighed the risks. But its too late now.

A guzzlord launches itself through it, screaming while it rushes at Devi, wormhole closing behind it. Panic sets into Devi as he realizes that not only is it an otherworldly beast from ultra space, but even worse: it's a dragon type. What kind of karmic bouffalantshit is going on here?

Devi's urshifu pops out of its pokeball and tries to punch the draconic mouth of destruction. It fails when the guzzlord snatches it up and throws it offscreen. The new cubone, who was just sitting here the whole time, starts crying in the face of such a horrifying foe. Devi is nearly about to book it with Krunko, his zoroark, before hearing the cubone cry. He considers leaving the poor thing to get crushed or eaten or whatever that apocalyptic thing will do. Then he jumps to shield it with his body and get out of there. Unfortunately, a claw is coming down specifically to crush them.

Then it doesn't. A certain teenager is standing over them, holding back the claw with one hand.

"And THIS is why I didn't let you come to alola alone." Sidon says, twisting the confused ultra beast's arm/claw, causing it to roar in pain. It's clearly not that hurt, however.

Devi doesn't have much to say, with all of the adrenaline pumping and pure fear of dragon types running through his veins, he fucking books it with his cubone and zoroark.

Then, suddenly, the guzzlord screams in pain again. A teenage girl's laughter and a triumphant Toxicroak croak can be heard. It's pretty obvious that the guzzlord is a bit poisoned, and it's STILL incredibly confused, but it snaps out of it and swings at Alex and her Toxicroak. Sidon is much faster than it and gets them out of the way. This allows Alex to borrow some frubbles from her Frogadier and throw them straight into the guzzlord's eyes, temporarily blinding it.

The camera then pans to Devi, who is in fetal position behind a rock. An understandable reaction, not all of us are teenagers who can miraculously deal with shit they shouldn't be able to.

As it pans back over, sidon and his greninja are noticeably battle bonded, as they throw a shuriken nearly the size of the guzzlord at it. It tanks it completely, having already gotten a beast boost from before and having high HP. But suddenly, the guzzlord gets picked up off the ground by the water teenager by its claw. Y'know the "so long gay bowser!" meme from Mario 64? yeah.

It's hard to notice, but sidon seems to get a lunala-like third eye that disappears as fast as it appears as an ultra wormhole opens, and the guzzlord gets thrown through. Comedically, it hits another guzzlord who is trying to get through, causing them both to get sent back to their home. Invasive pokemon L.

The video ends after devi yells "HAVE YOU BEEN RECORDING THIS???"]

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

A little something for Linguistics Tumblr.

So the Crunchyroll newsroom isn't a "room" so much as a Slack channel. We have news writers all over the US, in Australia, and in Japan. This means we have something akin to 'round-the-clock coverage, but it also means that our schedules respective to each other are skewed. For example, when the East Coast contingent is starting their day, the Japan contingent is shutting down for the evening.

Because of that, we started experimenting with greetings that could apply when Party A was coming in for the morning and Party B was leaving for the night. One person came up with "konbarning": a combination of "good morning" and "konban wa" ("good evening" in Japanese). It stuck.

Over the following months, "konbarning" got shortened to "barning" and other permutations. Now, a year or some later, this is how we announce our arrival:
