#Egg Groups

[flagshitter]

!! A new identity system has arrived! Presenting... Egg Groups !!

Egg Group: A grouping of traits that describes how you'd be classified by a Pokémon breeder. This identification can be silly/light-hearted/based on Pure Vibes or it can be a genuine statement about your species that says "this is what I would be in if I had to be organized into Egg Groups!" LIOMOGAI users may find this term useful to describe parts of their biology/desired biology, something about the species they are, or for some reason not listed here.

^^the general flag for this, the Ditto Group, and Monster Group.

Ditto Egg Group: Identifying as belonging to the Ditto Egg Group, which is an egg group from Pokémon that only consists of the Pokémon Ditto. Creatures in this Egg Group have the unique ability to breed with any member of every other Egg Group, besides the No Eggs Discovered Group.

Monster Egg Group: Identifying as belonging to the Monster Egg Group, which consists of Creatures that are powerful, bipedal or quadrupedal, most likely has a tail or claws, and usually reptilian (such as Cubone, Larvitar, Rhyhorn and Axew).

Author's Notes: I'm gonna make flags for all the canon Egg Groups from the games, but Egg Groups don't have to be just those, you can make up your own. I have some ideas for weirdcoric Group, Feline Group and you can pretty much do whatever you want. Copy the little description format I wrote for Monster!

Author's Notes 2: in the Pokémon games, Pokémon species can be in up to two group groups, but i think there's nothing stopping you from identifying with a bunch of egg groups if you find it useful.

The reason that Wailord is in the field Egg Grouo is because it's ancestors were land animals but it hasn't been enough time for them to fully switch to any of the wager egg groups, making them still have some of the reproductive traits of field egg group pokemon. The downside is that we get some really unhealthy crossbreeds with them...

I was taking a look at the "No Eggs Discovered" egg group and noted that all Pikachu with a hat is on the list. Now its not the only "special" pokémon on the list, Cosplay Pikachu and Battle Bond Greninja are on there too... but still I thought it funny to think Pikachu instantly becomes unfuckable if it puts on a hat. (With Cosplay pikachu I more imagine it to be the other way around...she considers herself too good for any potential mate.)

This makes me wanna go play Pokémon again.

It annoys me unreasonably when you want to ask people "what bird and what mammal would make the worst gryphon" as a fun thought exercise, and people with no joy and no imagination always interpret it as "a gryphon that sucks, is physically impossible, and would hate being alive", and - being predictable and lacking in imagination - always, always answer with "a hummingbird and a blue whale lol".

Like come on. Why do you have to suck the fun out of everything. Why not use a fraction of imagination and delightful whimsy. Imagine the combination of a mouse and a sparrow. That creature would be merciless, burtal, absolutely determined to get into your trash and has the power of both wings and hands to do its will. Or a crow and a cat - that thing is smart enough to fuck with people and not afraid to do it. Imagine the ungodly shriek of the noble fox-seagull, also determined to get into your trash.

A gryphon that is a combination of a kangaroo and a cassowary. The only proof we have of a loving god is the fact that those things do not exist. If hell is real, it's full of them. That thing can't fly, but it will run you down, it will kill you, and you will look stupid the whole entire time you're dying.

Why would the first thing that pops into your mind at the words "the worst gryphon" automatically be "a gryphon that hates being alive". Can you not picture a gryphon that fucking loves being alive, and has both the power and the will to make it everyone else's problem.

edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here

And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:

No, this was not an ISAT reference!

Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT

(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)

If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that

Details in Stan's letter that still haunt me

(how long will I continue thinking about a two page letter that's technically not even that long because Stan's handwriting is fricking large? .....you don't need to worry about that.)

The bro code only shows up in the Lost Journal pages, and to me Stan's message feels like it purposely echoes Ford's "miss you" in the college photo (and for some reason the message doesn't appear in the website version of the photo?) ....or alternatively Stan simply noticed how distressed Ford was about this entire thing and wanted to support him in a way so he can be sappy but without the kids knowing, or both!

Stan's claim about the Oregon lottery contradicts what the Lost Legends website said about Tate McGucket's ability to predict the winning numbers!! ...but also breaking into the Lottery HQ is definitely a very Stan thing to do and it's not the first time small gags have been retconned

Despite spending most of his letter nonchalantly destroying him, the taunt about ripping a dollar bill in half is the only part where Stan is directly responding to Bill. Maybe it's the two of them having similar ways of thinking but it's rather specific considering Bill taunts the reader about it...

And after Bill spends an entire book calling Ford Sixer despite normally using a pretty wide range of nicknames for him, Stan then spends his letter mainly referring to Ford as Sixer, even though post-Weirdmageddon he tends to use a mix of nicknames. And it's not like he'd gotten to see Bill himself for long, let alone see him steal that childhood nickname (that is only used twice in the actual show btw!). Did Ford tell him what happened or...?

With all this and the website's "still on your mind" message, what I'm getting at is my tinfoil hat theory of Stan somehow seeing some of the pages the irl readers saw, even when it should be personalised to the specific reader, and he's been lying about it for some reason. Considering that the book flat out doesn't make an attempt at convincing Soos, I find it a stretch that whatever Bill was telling Stan via the book was an attempt to convince him either.

Wouldn't be the first time Stan's skimmed through a book and lied about what it meant to him.

(...Now I kinda wanna see a story about the family reading their versions of the book and making fun of it while Stan is improvising every single one of his pages and blatantly ignoring Bill's attempts to mock and taunt him)

But also I'm fascinated by the letters that only showed up on the website (aka the Soos+Wendy+McGucket+Pacifica ones). I'm assuming that Mabel had stuck them on after Stan's letter... but they were basically eaten by the book itself because seeing Stan's letter kick-started Bill's breakdown which takes up the rest of the book

I'm updating my personal ref sheets and it's really hitting me just how SMOL Kirby, Bandee, and Elfilis really are compared to the rest of the cast.

I’m glad people weren’t like screaming in the theater the whole time when I saw the movie but I also kinda wish I wasn’t the only one like. Fighting the urge to squeal and scream and happy stim (still talked way too loud a few times tho) when the fandom references and YouTubers appeared lol

GO!! OC ATTACK!!

a Lot More under the cut !!! (pretty art)

Felassan does not betray solas, Solas betrays Felassan.

Not just by killing him, but by becoming a person who is so distanced from the cause Felassan joined that simply wanting to help free the elven people from oppression (the thing Felassan signed up for, all those thousands of years ago) would require refusing Solas’ orders and result in his execution

The betrayal of Felassan isn’t just murdering him mid sentence with his back turned, it’s also a betrayal of the cause their friendship was founded upon.
