Elesa being a horse girl is an idea that can be pried from my cold dead hands

Did you know route 10 has a history of landslides? I like to think that this route has always been a point of contention within Unova’s pokeleague, especially with such crumbly cliffs so close to their victory road.

(Anyways the Patrat and Pachirisu children find out the hard way about Route 10’s… unfortunate quirks.)

((On the plus side! Behold! A bouffalant calve!))

CONSIDERING My whole mess yesterday with heights and acrophobia coming to remind me I do have it...

I was just sitting here thinking about Emmet and how the fandom loves to characterize him with a fear of heights. Ingo less so, but I've seen it for him to, which not my personal headcanon. I subscribe to Ingo having thalassophobia tbh, which I'll expand later... BUT--

Emmet and heights... and I am going to project SO MUCH of my weirdness about it onto him later(in a more in depth post) but for now.

Emmet has absolutely had some bad days where just like me yesterday... Emmet has stood up, and his hindbrain has gone. "Oh no, THAT'S TOO HIGH, WE ARE DANGER, PANIC! GET BACK DOWN!" vertigo and shaking, and having to slowly sink back down to the ground.

He has also 100% had days where entering Gear Station is a hazard because nope, nope, you are looking at the stairs down into the Subway... and that's... that's a looooong way down. You cannot, not today. That's verrry far down, too far down. You are too high and cannot go down...

He has to rely on Ingo and maybe Eelectross for steadying. Because nope, can't do it alone.

It's not just Planes that are bad man.

Fear is just dumb. And phobias evil. Emmet will have days where he is fine with things and then a day later it'll be like, nope, this is too much. It's worse when he's had big stressers. He probably got stuck in their house for a while after Ingo vanished because that combined to make walking feel like "Oh, I am too high, too high, danger" for a good while.

In other news...

Crawling is good, and thank everything for pets that see free snuggle opportunities.

I have so many feelings about the themes of night and day in the Explorer's games.

Best Pokémon Villains Tournament- Individuals Bracket- Round 2: Match 6

This next match sees the beefiest boys go head to head!

Short-tempered and feared, Cliff is one of the leaders of Team GO Rocket, and apparently owes Team GO Rocket and Giovanni his life. Despite his appearance though, he's said to have a big heart and a kind soul, and he values loyalty above most else! Being a big part of the brawn behind Team GO Rocket's Shadow Pokémon plot, he also went head to head with Blanche of Team Mystic, losing easily. A big personality to match his big muscles, can he come out on top?

Going up against his fellow brawny villain is Team Aqua's Matt! Matt has always been bulky, but like all the Team Aqua and Team Magma characters, he had a redesign in the Hoenn remakes and became even buffer! But like Cliff, he's also extremely loyal, following Archie's dream even beyond the main game, continuing his villainy into the post game. He also owes his life to his Team Leader, drawing even more comparisons to his opponent. Ultimately, do you value Matt's design and goals more than Cliff's? Which big guy gets your vote?

MAIN PLOT LINE OF DLC HAS BEEN FINISHED, SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT (long post, be warned)

7.8/10, kieran doesn't actually kill us.

Seriously though, I enjoyed it!! Since I don't actually own the game (we poor), I watched a no-commentary playthrough so there are plenty of things I very likely missed, including optional dialog, side-quests, and whatever that thing with the professors is (still lookin' for a video without some guy over it), so I can only comment on the bits I saw! That being said, here we go.

First of all, the BATTLES!! Despite not being able to play them myself, they looked SUPER fun!! I screamed when I saw Lacey's tailwind/lightscreen prankster whimsicott, and even MORE so when I saw it was sashed! I loved the usage of competitive items, and the fact that all their teams weren't completely mono-type, each having one exception to their type (Lacey's excadrill, Crispin's Exeggcutor, Amarys's Reuniclus, and Drayton's Sceptile) that they DIDN'T terrastalize was lovely touch!! Amarys's fight was super hype in particular, despite having an over 20 level advantage, the person I watched still nearly wiped to her! Her trick room AI does appear a bit goofy, but it's a small flaw. Finally, Kieran's battle... I personally adore a good rain team, but unfortunately Kieran's politoed was frozen at the start of the battle, and remained that way all the way til the end, so I can't honestly say how difficult it looked. The one thing I will say is that before the indigo disk was out, I created a hypothetical team for Kieran, and I CALLED that Grimmsnarl!! Literally even the focus sash. If anyone's curious, here was the hypothetical team I made. I'm a nuzlocker, not a competitive player, so it very well may be shit. Apologies in advance.

Next is the characters!! Every design slapped as always, and I enjoyed their personalities! Lacey was adorbs, Crispin was fun, and Amarys might just be one of my new favorites! As for Drayton? Let me tell you, I was side-eyeing him the whole time the MOMENT after he said THIS to Kieran.

After all the hype around dokutaro/peechikeen (now know as pecharunt, apparently), and all the speculation that Kieran would fall victim to its influence, him saying "that's just peachy" made my rat brain go into overdrive. In the end, I think it was just Legends Arceus giving me Volo flashbacks.

Now, the main event... KIERAN! Let me tell you, he gave me GOOSEBUMPS. Every time he appeared, I could feel a chill run up my spine, and his battle had my heart RACING. ESPECIALLY his breakdown at the end of it! One of the best times I've had in a good while. The animation, his reaction, all of it was GREAT!! It was so refreshing to see him not immediately heel-face turn.

Unfortunately, though, what happened after that all disappointed me. I admit I got too attached to the Dokutaro Posession theory, buy it was still disappointing for Dokutaro (I know that's not its name, leave me be) to not play any role in the main story. It felt like a natural conclusion to what the game was setting up, I thought he'd throw the master ball at terapagos, it'd fail, and he'd become so overwhelmed with everything that has happened that he'd succumb to Dokutaro's control and we'd have to fight the Dokutaro-Kieran with Terapagos's aid. That's not what happened, and I felt a bit sad. His recovery from his breakdown was still set up nicely and had some atleast sufficient justification, but it still felt like too-little too-soon. It felt more like he just gave up all together rather than defeated his demons. He'd never be as strong as the player, and that's that, which is a sour note to leave off on.

We see that he legitimately has nothing. All the other students left the MOMENT he was defeated. No one came to help the kid who was clearly having a panic attack. The BB league cares about him, sure, but I wouldn't consider them his friends. They all thought Kieran getting defeated would "fix" him, and even when he clearly wasn't any better after being defeated, they didn't do anything to assist him. Sure, sometimes when someone has climbed so high, you gotta let them fall, but once they do, you can't just leave them lying on the ground. You need to be there to lift them back up before they start digging.

This isn't an attack on the BB league at ALL. Like I said, I really enjoyed their characters! In fact, this reaction is part of the reason I like them so much. It adds depth.

I just wish that Kieran DID start digging, and that it led to something bigger. Even if Dokutaro wasn't involved, I atleast wanted the final battle with him to be that big thing, and not just a turtle that can't do anything but throw out weak earthpowers.

Though the biggest failing to me is that Kieran apologizes to us, but we don't apologize to him. We as in the player, and Carmine

Kieran's actions are his own and I'm not saying he shouldn't have apologized, but he wasn't solely culpable for how things turned out. We and Carmine purposefully lied, kept a secret that was dear to him, and were the straw that broke the camel's back. Even if we the player didn't apologize, Carmine should've!! Her treatment of Kieran heavily impacted him, and he mirrored her abuse (Kieran telling Carmine to "Shut it", just like she did to him, for example).

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, was in the wrong here. Kieran took things too far, Carmine behavior is a serious problem, and the played character was complicit.

I'm not demonizing anyone here, I am the number one Carmine defender after all, but everyone needs to take responsibility. Not. Just. Kieran.

I relate heavily to both Kitakami siblings, as both an elder sister with younger siblings who she's accidentally mistreated, and as a little sister with an older sibling who treats me like I'm lesser.

I've lashed out at my older sibling, and while my reaction wasn't proportional, it doesn't mean my emotions weren't justified.

I have severe genetic anger issues (that I'm now thankfully medicated for), and have unjustly taken them out on my younger siblings.

Carmine needs to apologize too, or the cycle will just continue. Maybe she already did and I missed it, or maybe it happens in the post-game. However, if she didn't? It makes me feel unresolved.

Anyways, that all I gotta say on it!! Hope someone enjoyed this overly long rambling!!

(P.S. I still don't trust dragon boy. "Thats just peachy" my ASS, you know something ya toothpaste haired cunt. Why did they request to bring ya along to area zero anyways, ya plot relevant FUCK.)

Have some doodles I stayed up way too late futzing with :) I may turn the napping one into a final piece, we’ll see (mild spoilery ones for my personal canon below the cut):

“Don’t say a word.”

Bottom right:

“Zzz…*snort*—Hm? Oh.”

Transcript of my notes/more dialogue for those who can’t discern my chicken scratch (I don’t blame you):

(After they make up):

“I won’t break, you know.”

“But I could so easily break you.”

The other day I had a picnic where my entire party just decided to march off of a cliff without me? I stopped taking video after my Corviknight flew off but everyone else followed her right after. Unsure what they were doing. They did, eventually, slowly, come back when I repeatedly called for them. I hope they had fun without me I guess

[impossiblecollectivemoon]

As an inveterate eye-roller, this felt personal 😳

(Shouldn't it be What's?)

This would be an absolutely dreadful team-up irl, I feel like Cliff would be very tidy and punctual, probably likes those motivational posters (evil edition).

Rude. We are not going to be friends.
