Pokéshipping QPR WIP Sneak Peek (with bonus Contestshipping)

“Have you thought about winter break at all?” He slides in across from her as she’s finishing her French onion soup from the league cafeteria. She hasn’t seen him since lunch yesterday— contrary to popular belief, they don’t spend all of their time together— but she knows he talked to his mom last night and Delia is probably already wondering when to expect them.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I figured we’d probably visit your sisters and we need to go spend some time with my mom, but we have nearly eight weeks off. That’s plenty of time to do something else, too.”

She’s not sure when they had decided that they were spending their entire winter vacation together. She’s not sure why he would want to come with her to see her sisters, but she’s not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if that gift horse means she’ll have someone to help her when she inevitably gets stuck with all of the worst chores.

(She’s also not ready to question the fragile convention of their relationship out loud, but that’s another matter entirely.)

“Let’s go somewhere warm, preferably with a beach,” she offers.

“How did I know that’s what you were going to say?” he laughs. “I kinda wanted to go somewhere with some snow— you know, skiing, hot springs…” Hot springs sound nice enough, but now she’s got the beach on her mind. It occurs to her to suggest that they don’t have to vacation together, but she quickly pushes that thought aside.

“We could always battle for it,” she proposes. “1 v 1. Winner gets to pick.”

When he chooses Charizard and she calls out Starmie, Misty knows that this should be a good match, but then Ash makes the mistake of explaining the stakes to his pokémon and, as it turns out, Charizard would also prefer a beach vacation.

———

Hoenn’s always warm, so she calls May for a recommendation, and it just so happens that there’s a small beach resort near Route 110, an hour and a half northwest of Slateport, that May and Drew want to explore as a potential wedding venue.

May insists on being the one to do the booking, even though she and Drew will only be staying a week, so Misty gives her the three weeks she and Ash had picked out and let’s the Princess of Hoenn do her thing.

———

“When you make it look like you’ve put your entire life online, no one asks about what isn’t there.”

While waiting for her to get into the next dress, Misty pulls up May’s social media and quickly sees what she means. May posts a lot of pictures with friends— candids of Max and selfies with Soledad and spa days with Dawn and baking with Caroline— but Drew only ever appears at the edges of group photos. The story she tells shows all of these people who are main characters in her life and he is clearly secondary at best, if these photos are to be believed.

Of course, that has changed since the engagement announcement. Her most recent posts are photo dumps of the secret she’s kept for the last five years.

It’s enough for Misty to pull up her own profile and try to view it through a stranger’s eyes. There’s lots of water and even more pokémon, as is to be expected, but she also notices that Ash is tagged in over half of her photos, either in the photo itself or as the photographer. She’s never put as much thought into curating her social media as May clearly has, and it’s suddenly crystal clear why the tabloids spend so much time speculating on the nature of the relationship between her and Ash.

Heck, Pikachu is even in her profile photo.

———

“The thing about romance is that it requires romantic intent. Nothing is really inherently romantic,” Soledad explains over lunch.

“For example,” she adds, “when Drew sends May roses, it’s a lovely romantic gesture. When he sends me roses, it’s because he’s a sentimental little shit.”

“Wait,” Misty stops to look at Soledad and she can hear May cackling on her other side. “Drew sends you roses?”

Soledad grins.

“Every Mother’s Day.”

Horror Movie Review: Tumbbad (2018)

When a family builds a shrine for Hastar, a monster who is never to be worshipped, and attempts to get their hands on his cursed wealth, they face catastrophic consequences.

In 1947, Vinayak Rao tells his 14-year-old son Pandurang about the Goddess of Prosperity. She is the symbol of unlimited gold and grain and the earth is her womb. When the universe was created, she…

Any chance we could get a sneak peak at more of Dragonfruit:aML while we wait for the full release? It's gonna be incredible when it comes out and I am far too impatient for news!

I'm painting! For assets on the UI!

I'll work on trying to post a little update to Dragonfruit every so often from now on. I just had to find a nice flow to post animated things from the game. I'm also open to suggestions!

We're flowing straight ahead and working very diligently at making it look super presentable :p

I'm too much of a perfectionist these days... it's why it's taking so long in the first place! Aaaah!

But yeah, TL:DR: I'll post some cool features and moments from the project and if there's anything in particular you wanna see just ask and I'll see what I can do!

Direct Farmer-to-Consumer Market Inaugurated in Dombivli.

In a significant move to empower local farmers and enhance their income, Public Works Minister Ravindra Chavan inaugurated a market aimed at directly connecting farmers' produce to consumers without any intermediaries. This initiative, supported by the Agriculture Department, ATMA, and the Dombivlikar Pratishthan, embodies the concept of a direct farmer-to-consumer model.

Celebrating Navratri with Fresh Produce

To mark the Navratri festival, the consumer market will be open from October 6 to 12, operating daily from 4 PM to 9 PM at Nehru Maidan in Dombivli East. This initiative not only provides an avenue for farmers to sell their products but also offers city residents a unique opportunity to purchase fresh produce directly from the fields.

Additionally, the market will continue to operate every Sunday at different municipal grounds across Dombivli. This ongoing effort ensures that farmers receive a fair price for their hard work while promoting the consumption of fresh, locally sourced produce among urban dwellers.

A Variety of Organic Offerings

The market will feature a diverse array of organic and natural products, including vegetables, fruits, grains, and pulses. This selection highlights the commitment to promoting healthy eating habits while supporting sustainable agricultural practices.

Community Support and Involvement

The inauguration was well-attended, with farmers from Thane district and surrounding areas present to witness this important initiative. Former municipal councilors Rahul Damle, Khushboo Chaudhary, Sandeep Puranik, Shashikant Kamble, Dattam Malekar, and Dinesh Dubey were also in attendance, showing their support for this cause.

Ravindra Chavan, MLA, emphasized the importance of such markets in empowering farmers and strengthening the local economy. By eliminating middlemen, this initiative aims to ensure that the benefits of agricultural labor are directly passed on to the producers, fostering a more equitable system for all involved.

As this initiative takes root in Dombivli, it is expected to create a sustainable model that could inspire similar efforts in other regions, further bridging the gap between farmers and consumers.

Tag 15 - Canyoneering und neue Scooter “Abenteuer”

Nach nem herrlichen Frühstück auf meiner neuen Veranda ging es zum Sammeltransport zum Canyoneering… ich hatte das ja damals schon in Nicaragua gemacht (dort hieß das allerdings einfach nur Canyoning 🤷🏻‍♀️) und es war damLs einfach schon ne richtig spaßige Unternehmung. Weniger spaßig war hier allerdings mal wieder die Fahrt dorthin. Ich hatte irgendwie ein Dejavue von der Vorwoche, da auch hier der Fahrer Ewigkeiten umherirrte, aufs Handy starrte, telefonierte oder das klingelnde Telefon ignorierte, wenn er gerade nicht telefonierte. Es hat noch ne gute Stunde gedauert, bis wir alle eingesammelt hatten und auch nochmal getankt wurde, bevor wir Richtung Süden weiterfuhren. Zum Glück war es wirklich nicht so furchtbar weit und wir erreichten endlich unser Ziel. Jeder musste versicherungstechnischen Papierkram erledigen, bevor man mit Helm, Schwimmweste und geeigneten Schuhen ausgestattet wurde. Danach ging es dann nochmal mit dem Auto ein Stück weiter zum tatsächlichen Startpunkt wo nochmal ein “Briefing” erfolgte. Das beinhaltete aber irgendwie nur die Info, dass man auf seinen Guide hören soll, sodass man sich das auch gerne hätte sparen können 😂 … man konnte nun wählen ob man gegen eine extra Gebühr Zipline fährt oder aber knapp 45 Minuten zu Fuß läuft. Da ich die Zipline bei den Chocolate Hills leider schon verpasst hatte, war klar, dass ich definitiv nicht laufen würde! Die Überfahrt war wirklich super und hat ne Menge Spaß gemacht… werde das bei Gelegenheit gerne wiederholen!! Weiter ging es dann zu Fuß zum Canyon bei dem die eigentliche Tour dem Wasserlauf folgend so richtig losging. Im Gegensatz zu meinem Erlebnis in Nicaragua waren hier jedoch unfassbar viele Menschen, was ich zu Beginn doch als etwas nervig empfunden hab… im Laufe der Tour hatte sich das aber alles ein wenig entspannt und aufgelöst. Der ganze Trip dauerte etwa 2,5-3 Stunden, in denen man von verschiedenen Höhen in den Flusslauf sprang, Felsen hinabrutschte, einfach nur schwamm oder durch bzw. neben dem Wasser lief. Die ganze Landschaft ist unfassbar schön und vor allem ist das Wasser im Gegensatz zum Meer auch einfach außerordentlich erfrischend! Wenn ihr also mal in Moalboal unterwegs seid sollte das auf jeden Fall auf eurer To-Do-Liste an Aktivitäten stehen!

Nach meiner Rückkehr im Hotel mietete ich mir erstmal einen Roller und machte mich auf den Weg zum Divecenter, das mir in Alona Beach empfohlen wurde… es war nur 3 Minuten Fahrt entfernt, aber leider war der Typ so absolut “not welcoming”, dass ich beschloss auf jeden Fall noch nach ner Alternative zu schauen. Laut Google Maps waren die Cebu Fun Divers nicht so weit entfernt und ich rollerte los… leider sind die Straßen hier größtenteils wirklich so beschissen, dass dieser “kürzere” Weg wirklich ne kleine Herausforderung und doch recht anstrengend war. Mit etwas Mühe schaffte ich es aber unversehrt an mein Ziel und es passte hier für mich alles sehr viel besser. Dementsprechend machte ich für den Folgetag direkt 2 Tauchgänge fix und verbrachte den restlichen Abend dann das erste mal in “downtown”, da ich ja mit meinem neuen Gefährt auch wieder entsprechend mobil war! Ach ja … ein zusätzlicher angenehmer Zufall ist übrigens auch, dass das Divecenter direkt neben meiner neuen Bleibe liegt, die ich am Mittwoch beziehen werde! :)
