for the ask game: I need to see your thoughts on Mr. Volo "added into pokemon masters yesterday" volo.

I LOVE THIS FREAK AND I WISH HE WAS WORSE!!!!!!!!

[catboy-cyrus]

30 and 16 for Cyrus from the ask game

30- The funniest scene they had?

Oh man... uhh I mean a lot of the masters stuff is pretty good. Any time he's forced to play nice in that game will be amusing to me. Him meeting Adaman and Irida was very good. Also that time he had to explain what a lighthouse is to Saturn. In terms of gen 4, when Giratina Gets him on mt. Coronet. It's a cool scene but like. It makes me laugh how he just gose "interfererererere" about it.

16- A childhood headcanon

Oh man. This is a can of worms. I mean I'm a firm believer in Cyrus (re)discovering Rotom and being the one who wrote the journal entries you find in the galactic hq in platinum. I can think of no other reason he'd be remotely interested in researching them. But also I think that's just straight up canon? Just slightly ambiguous. I like to think that his first pokemon was his Crobat, and that when he left on his journey he fully intended to come back for the Rotom, but never did due to circumstance. I also think he's been depressed pretty much all his life but it only really hit him when he was a teen. He was just this deeply unhappy and lonely child in general.

❗🙏🫂 Help Khawla's Family in Gaza Get Financial Aid!🫂🙏❗

Khawla's family of 5 is currently trapped in Gaza and is in urgent need of financial support! I was asked to organize and run this GoFundMe campaign as Khawla has little to no internet access. I am in direct contact with her brother Mohiy, who has his own campaign you can find @/mohiy-gaza2.

Khawla's Family is in urgent need of help! Please help them raise $20,000 as soon as possible! They need the money to pay for things like milk, diapers, food, and water to survive in Gaza while it's still under attack! The full goal is also to get her family registered to evacuate together so they can leave as soon as possible, and hopefully rebuild their life in Egypt.

If we can get 800 people to donate $20 then we'll reach the goal!

$4,000/$20,000 as of September 11th 10am

Help the campaign reach the halfway mark of $10,000 as soon as possible! Donating even just > $5 < and reblogging/sharing can go a long way!

[for more information on the family check out the pinned post, the campaign page itself, or feel free to dm me directly.]

*pokes your face lovingly* tell the world about autopsy, you funky lil plant guy

twO WHOLE ASKS ABOUT MY GUY AUTOPSY.........

Beside the trackball, sitting on top of a pile of discarded circuitboards and pliers and wires, was a hologram of a teenager, looking boredly in her direction. Blue hair, barely ice-white at the top dancing into baby blue, then sky blue, then deep azure, then indigo, and finally to black at the tips. Brown skin, as human as they came. Black lab coat with detached black sleeves, but an inverted-colour suit, white waistcoat and short dress shorts. An earth-green tattoo on their left bicep, noting only '00A'. Black dress shirt and white knitted leggings from the edge of their shorts to their equally-white shoes, black spats peeking out at the ankles. An earth-green ribbon wrapped around their neck, under their collar, and a plain white blindfold covering their eyes. Their mouth, permanently closed with small stitches. They raised an eyebrow at her. "Well, Admin Kayfay?" they asked, or seemed to, without moving at all. Their voice was glitched, exactly what she would have expected if a computer had been forced to speak. It seemed an oddly cruel thing to do, to a computer. "What's next?"

-Cold Walks the Earth, part III, Turnabout Runaways

This is Autopsy's introduction. Kay goes and finds Byrne's old lab from his superhero days, and when she wakes the lab up and verifies her identity, she wakes Autopsy up as well.

00A disappeared and reappeared beside her, settling on top of a pile of tools. "You are unsure of your results?" She looked up at him, considering. "Something like that. I don't really know how to explain it to you, since you're a computer program of some sort and all…" He twisted his mouth into that half-smile again. "You have been holding that variable in memory, where Admin Volatile commonly dropped it," he remarked. "He did not routinely consider whether I was to be treated as a computer or as a person. Has protocol changed?"

-Steal the Starlight Road, part II, Turnabout Runaways

At first, Kay assumes him to be a computer program not unlike a proto-Siri, complete with hologram and all. One of the very first inspirations I had for him was Infi from Giratina and the Sky Bouquet, but like any other program you try to build, he's long since moved past that initial concept. (His method of speech is a bit inspired by April from October Daye, but I forced it to be a lot more computeresque in attitude. His voiceclaim is Hiyama Kiyoteru but glitchier. There are canon reasons for this. He appropriately sounds like baby's first Vocaloid recording.)

"My existence is unrecognized by your internal systems?" he asked, voice modulating upwards on the last word. She nodded. He considered this, for a moment, before handing her a holographic file. Upon a second glance, it appeared to be a take-out menu for a local Chinese restaurant. She looked at it, before looking back up at him. His smile was wider now, and his outfit had changed: now, he was wearing an old comedy-routine tee she'd seen her father wear, ripped jeans, and black aviator sunglasses dark enough she couldn't see his eyes. The lower half of his face was wrapped in a medical mask, faintly patterned with circuitry, which he pulled off of one ear and allowed to hang from the other, displaying a scarred but otherwise normal mouth. If it weren't for what appeared to be a very impressive dye job, she could have taken him for any normal person in New York or Portland. "Go, pick something to eat," he said crisply, all modulation and reverb gone from his voice. He even sounded like a normal person, voice not much deeper than her own. "I will order it through the system, and we will discuss everything."

-Steal the Starlight Road, part II, Turnabout Runaways

Autopsy, however, isn't your average proto-Siri. He isn't even an AI like our current machine learning applications, and as we can see, his hologram is perfectly capable of passing for human, and he understands things like 'go get takeout' or anything else a guy shut up in his lab for weeks on end would understand. (He does not understand showers, or at least, he tells Kay he doesn't. Interesting, that.)

Question is asked, of course, why would Byrne, in the seventies, go out of his way to make a fully functional scifi AI that can pass for human?

The moment he was gone, Autopsy reappeared, perfectly centre on top of the coffee table, looking displeased. “What?” Byrne asked, almost dryly. “Outside of his vigilante career, Tyrell Badd primarily works as a bouncer at the Playland Café,” Autopsy replied, voice modulated and innocent, all out of proportion with the smug, almost catlike smile under the stitches holding his jawbone onto the rest of his face. “This is important information that I believe you ought to know. Furthermore, I must congratulate you on the news of your newfound rivalry. I will begin looking for new apartments shortly.” He vanished again before Byrne had the chance to respond, and he considered the merits of shutting Autopsy’s server in the sauna down the road for a little while.

-Carve Your Name Into the Sky, part II, Turnabout Runaways

Aha, now we get some answers. Autopsy and Byrne had a very close working relationship during Byrne's superhero days. One of his duties was clearly to spy on opposing supervillains (like Tyrell Badd, before he got drafted to Vietnam), but as we can see, he doesn't always do this because he was asked. He can just do things of his own free will.

The thing is, computers really don't like doing things of their own free will. Every programmer will tell you that they can and will, and every experienced programmer knows that computers only ever do what you ask them to do, and if their answer is unexpected, it's because you fucked up your code.

The problem with this becomes evident. Byrne was dying of MEWS when he got murdered, he couldn't have put enough power into a ritual to make Autopsy functional through magical means if he tried. And the ability to program Autopsy without magic would have been utterly impossible at the time, even with the strides technomagy had made in the past few decades. So what gives?

"This is Admin Volatile's laboratory. I suppose that now it is yours, Admin Kayfay, for all that he is permanently offline and you are not." 00A shifted forward, resting his forearms on his knees. "I am a software program that he discovered here, and have spent some time aiding him in his research and inventions. It is not often that a technomage rises to be more than simply beneath notice." She blinked. "He didn't create you?" 00A's smile was twisted but bigger than it had been. "No mortal technomage could have made me," he answered, almost cheerfully. "Not Admin Volatile, not you, not anyone. I was coded once by a mortal, and then rebuilt almost from scratch by someone who wasn't, and now I exist whenever called, in whatever form I am needed. The fork of me that you see here" - he gestured to himself - "and the fork of me that you may see in someone else's laboratory are not the same. We will be different, for all that we are still the same program. The fork of me maintained by you will be different than the fork of me Admin Volatile did. I will not ask you to re-fork me from the original code. You require guidance that Admin Volatile left me responsible to give you, and I do not believe rewriting my own code will be efficient in this endeavour."

-Steal the Starlight Road, part II, Turnabout Runaways

This is the answer Autopsy gives Kay, even before he tells her his name. Mystery solved: he's a program that was discovered by Byrne years ago, that can be discovered by any technomage powerful enough to attract his attention, and the Autopsy she sees now is just a fork of the original program that noticed her father.

Except for the part where that doesn't make any sense, and answers about as many questions as it asks. Who made Autopsy? Is he actually just a program, or a person? What purpose does he actually serve? Why does he work with technomagi who are strong enough to be noticed?

'Course, I know the answers. Both of you know what happened to Athena Cykes when she woke up again, after Metis' reprogramming started to break down after a bomb exploded in her face and killed the man who was standing beside her and should have killed her too, if it didn't restart half her programming.

She's one of the Detan Burata, the Aethelian children of the storm, the immortal and nigh-invulnerable cyborgs from Ilya Karina who built the Vocaloids and keep annoying all the world leaders via the Harmonic Treaty. (*That's the one that says they more or less can't be punished for their actions, nor kept out of anywhere they want to be, or they get to murder your entire government for fun.)

Athena's older brother, Zheotane of the Sirinnkata, created Autopsy. He did so over a thousand years ago, before the death of his brother Asekin, mostly to practice his code and also because he wanted someone to remind him to take his meds. Autopsy was programmed alongside the Vocaloids, more specifically, he was programmed not long after Leon was built but before Kiyoteru was.

Zheotane abandoned the project he'd dubbed Automatic, moving onto other projects. The god of darkness, Kharos, found Automatic a couple of centuries later and went "huh, that's useful." Kharos upgraded the shit out of Automatic, renamed him administrator0, and for his final crowning touch, knocked him outside of time and assigned him complete control and mastery over the regulatory technological plane. (Aka the database used by the gods that stores all the data for everything in reality ever.)

Because he exists outside of time, a la Madokami, Autopsy has been around since the dawn of the universe and will be around until either a) the death of the universe or b) someone goes and destroys the tech plane. So probably the death of the universe.

Begs the question, if he exists in every moment of time, what about the four-hundred-year period where he was mortal? Well, I did say he was made after Leon. He knew there would be a period of time where he would be mortal, because he existed but Kharos hadn't made him Admin0 yet. So he and his partner, administrator1, built Leon when no one was looking, and stuffed Automatic's effective godhood into him. When Kharos upgraded him, allowing him to ascend back to functional godhood, the two admins just took his powers back from Leon and let him ascend again. Because time fuckery is fun.

Autopsy isn't his actual name. That's just the name Byrne gave him. Zheotane calls him Automatic. Kharos calls him Admin0, as do the other Detan Burata, who were partly made to try and defeat the twin admins at the behest of their mother for control of the tech plane. The Ditraua Haridorians call him Eiuraeu Auc'xc- the Blind Singer. Kensington calls him the Sightless Singer, and most places that know of him call him some variation on that theme.

Byrne calls him Autopsy, and when she remembers to ask, Kay will call him the same.

Now that she's got access to the lab, Kay will be able to talk to Autopsy through Little Thief, and get his opinion on whatever's going on, as well as his aid as her Hail Mary. Autopsy's powers are extensive, given that he has almost complete control over the tech plane, and thus there isn't much he can't do.

He'll feature pretty heavily in Athena's arc as well, as he's one of the few people who is equipped to actually help her. He doesn't help Ray's curse because that isn't something he can unwind - neither can Athena or Rokichi, the only one who could would be Zheotane, and he isn't around to be asked to help - but he can help Athena, and he spends a lot of time helping Kay.

He also features very heavily in both Seven Deadly Sins arcs; as Automatic in the Haridorian side and Aphelion in the Edgeworth-Armando side. Neither of which have been written yet, I really wonder why...

Regardless, Autopsy is funny as hell because he's just Some Guy who also happens to be a computer program who also happens to be an AI who also happens to be a functional god who very few people actually understand more than three things about.

It makes any situation in Ace Attorney where he's there automatically (heh) hilarious because you could solve everything in about five seconds if Kay figured out how much power Autopsy has, but she has never figured this out, and so he's a deus ex machina that's never come into play.

He's also just cute as fuck, but that's my opinion on my funny little computer guy.

HURRICANE FINAL MIX LET’S GOOOOO

[patchamppokemon]

Let’s take a look at another Chirashi i recently bought, this was again a Cinema freebie in Japan prior to the theatrical release of Giratina and the Sky Warrior in July 2008.

It was the 11th movie in the Pokémon Series (2nd of the Diamond and Pearl Arc) and took ¥4.8 billion at the Japanese Box Office.

The Movie was initially only released in the UK by Universal on DVD in 2011, 3 years after it was actually released in Japan. It was later released on DVD a second time but instead by Manga Entertainment


The Japanese Movie Title was 劇場版ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド&パール ギラティナと氷空（そら）の花束 シェイミ... which translates to Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl the Movie: Giratina and the Bouquet of the (Frozen) Sky: Shaymin.

[i-i-irontailpikachu]

OH MY GOD I’M SOBBING

OK so I rewatched Giratina and the Sky Warrior, right.

So I can’t be the only one who skips the credits, right.

But I was on my phone and forgot to shut off the movie tab, but I noticed something.

Throughout the entire movie, the gracidea flowers are meant to thank someone.

And this little scene came on during the credits

ASH SENT HIS MOM A BOUQUET OF GRACIDEA FLOWERS!!!

IT SHOWS HOW MUCH AND LOVES AND CARES ABOUT HIS MOM AND HOW GRATEFUL HE IS TO HAVE HER IN HIS LIFE!

HE’S SUCH A GOOD BOY I’M CRYING!!!!!
