For the recent chapter! I keep thinking about Tessa and it genuinely makes me wanna cry. Please give this girl some love for me, my gosh

Mabye don't look too close at the anatomy though, skirts and people in general are hard

And bonus sketches! I like these a lot more than the finished colored versions I tried to do, so I'm posting them instead ^^'

I've felt myself driving slowly to insanity ever since I realized that all three of Cap's offensive moves are electric type. I get that this is an anime and so it doesn't play by the game rules exactly, but the fact that Cap has NO way to deal with types that have resistance or immunity to electricity is insane to me. Friede is supposed to be a genius professor, so how and why did he drop the ball THIS badly? (Especially since he didn't drop so badly with Char, albeit Steel Wing or Thunder Punch would be better fits than Dragon Claw given that Char doesn't get STAB with Dragon Claw either, and Steel Wing or Thunder Punch would both cover weaknesses.)

Having said that, I've tried to put together a better moveset for Cap. It is a bit challenging, considering his ability boosts his Special Attack, despite his signature move (Volt Tackle -> Rising Volt Tackle) requiring him to have a high Attack stat. Considering that the increase to his SpA would only matter when he tanks electric hits, I'm going to focus on a more physical build for him giving the necessity of keeping Volt Tackle, while also trying to give him better type coverage.

With that, my idea for a better Cap moveset is:

Volt Tackle — As mentioned, it's his signature move and he's required to keep it, because without it he can't use Rising Volt Tackle, and then what are we even doing here. So this one is a mandatory keep from his canon moveset.

Double Team — I'm also keeping Double Team, because he has used it to great effect in canon. Not to mention that increasing his evasion is also very helpful considering that I also want to give him . . .

Focus Punch — Focus Punch has a very high damage output (150) with the caveat that it will not work at all if the user is hit beforehand. But this works well for Cap, who has naturally high speed and knows Double Team to increase evasion. Using Double Team to throw off opponents before unleashing Focus Punch would work spectacularly. Additionally, Focus Punch would allow him to deal SE damage to Normal, Dark, Rock, Ice, and Steel, greatly increasing the number of opponents he's able to deal SE damage against. And while it doesn't do SE damage, it DOES hit Ground, which would give him a way to attack against a type he currently can't do any damage to at all.

Quick Attack — I know, I know, it's a basic choice. And to be honest, I'm torn between this and Feint, which is a little weaker but can get through Protect / Detect. Feint is a very special situation type of attack, however, while Quick Attack is more reliable, being both a little stronger and a priority move. Normal type moves are good for coverage as well (and this gives Cap something to use before the big finishers of Focus Punch or Volt Tackle), so I still think that it fits well here.

Obviously, Lightning Rod won't boost any of these attacks. If we wanted at least one attack that would be boosted, we could keep Thunderbolt instead of adding Quick Attack. But I really think that since Cap's signature move, the one we absolutely cannot get rid of, is a physical move, then we should focus on building his stats around that. In which case, Lightning Rod's utility is mainly going to be in doubles to draw electricity away from its partner (as seen when Friede and Spinel double battled).

We don't know Cap's nature for sure (do we ever learn the canonical natures of pokémon in the animated shows?), but if we look at his personality and try to decide on a nature from there, I would say that he does seem to have an Adamant nature, with the way he never gives up on things. This, too, would boost his Attack while actually lowering his Special Attack, which means that a physical build really is a better fit for him.

Lastly, I think it would behoove Cap to keep a Light Ball under his hat. Although the hat does get knocked off / thrown off a lot, so maybe he could wear it as a necklace instead. (Who am I kidding though, they don't even do mega stone accessories anymore . . . 😒 no way is Cap getting a necklace.) The Light Ball would increase his Attack further, truly making Cap into the sweeper that I feel he's destined to be.

Now, let me into the writers room so I can fix him, Horizons staff. I will do it for free, just please let me fix him.

Sonu and Titu (from Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety) ended up dating and getting married with 3 dogs and cozy house.

Also, Tera Yaar Hoon Main is so fucking LGBT+ coded like, it screams 'I am in love with my straight bestie (who is the closet) and I am PINNING'

Also Titu is so 'closeted gay' coded and Sonu is so fucking bisexual that I am not even kidding like what the writers think their ending is, in my ending they are happy together.

And it was during that Haldi scene where Sonu looks at Titu with pinning yet sad eyes that Sweety realises that Sonu is so gay for her fiance and she applies Haldi on him too? Like that scene could be expanded and Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety could've been the perfect gay romance with a supporting girl bestie but Noooo all women are gold diggers and hence the writers ruined her whole character

Also Titu searching for Sonu in the Baarat scene is so fucking romantic like bro you ain't waiting for the woman you are marrying you are looking for your 'bff' and Sonu helping Titu up on the horse while looking heartbroken and not looking at Titu is so meaningful. And then when he starts dancing for the love and friendship that he and Titu shared is such a nice moment while Titu looking at Sonu fondly. Like ughhh. And Sonu grabbing Titu's arm and both of their expressions changing (Titu looking fondly but not smiling and Sonu finally smiling a real smile) and Titu throwing money at Sonu and dancing like never before. The vindicated smile that Sweety gave to Titu during the Varmala scene and Titu just not letting the Varmala go.

You expect me to believe that this is is just bros being bros????

(And this is just one song)

Happy mothers day to the One Piece mom's!! especially the forgotten ones!

You talked about what you think what Pokemon different Sanses would have, but what Pokemon do you usually have in your team? Are there a few that you default to or do you like to switch it up depending on where you are in a game?

Oooo now that's a good question :oc

I usually try to have a different team when I start a new game but I definitely have favourites, like if I can have a raichu on my team I always want one cause he's my favourite little guy, but I also just love all the regional pikachus anyway so I'm happy with pretty much any of them (<-electric type and rodent lover lol).

There are a couple that I usually kinda default to, like if I'm playing through a gen 4 game I usually end up with staraptor or luxray on my team because they're so cool, and if I get an eevee I usually want sylveon

It's been a while since I played tbh because skeletons keep happening to me lol but here's my team from scarlet c:

The script for DXC varies a lot from RoB and while you can't really beat the anime charm of the latter, there's things I like from this iteration's dialogues too. This one in particular is a favorite of mine, I think it's silly in a cute sorta way.

(I especially love the delivery in Richter's correction of his name.)

[smashwolfen]

Extremely casual player friend who hasn't seen or ever played Pokemon X and Y, not know anything about quite why I'm hyped about Z-A, just experienced me info dumping summaries of the kalos lore, legendaries and history like:

Silly headcanon, but like, what if kieran had some sort of scarring on his arm from when terapagos broke the master ball

[wildflowercryptid]

thinking about kieran carrying on his family's craft of mask-making in the future... i think that'd be really cute.

[yusuke-of-valla]

I really wish there was a way to articulate how just annoyingly unbalanced Tera Raids are without being accused of being bad at them.

Because like. There's a fun challenge, and then there's Blaziken starts one shotting anything you hit it with, even really bulky Pokémon like Archaludon at about halfway through the fight

"Oh but you're supposed to do online" WELL IF THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE ONLINE THEN THEY SHOULD MAKE SURE ONLINE FREAKING WORKS

Plus in my experience online doesn't even make it easier it just makes you lose faster

It's my birthday!! In celebration, here's my ART VS ARTIST 2023, as well as the one's from previous years. :3c I've drawn some absolutely wicked panel layouts this year, and other art too! B)

I think a lot about the reasons why I draw the things I do and why I do what I do with my art. Most of the reasons elude me, or at least elude speech. But, I know the truth is that I draw for myself, and then (and yet!), I hope people outside of me might see it too. Thank you for supporting me; it's good to share my art with you!

[goldensunset]

kieran’s champion battle theme is a banger i’m literally feeling residual fear and stress listening to it even afterwards

[beevean]

*Hears everything about Nocturne being Sonic SatAM in all but name*

... So, does the opening theme shill Richter despite him being nothing more than Maria's lapdog?

Well, it doesn't have an opening in the first place lol, because it's too serious and edgy for that.

But if it did, it would sound like this...

(thank you @woodchipp for being the funniest person alive)

Apparently there’s gonna be a raid event for shiny Rayquaza. I can definitely see this being impossible (but having a gimmick that allows you to have some kind of hope you don’t fuck it up) like the Mewtwo raids. Plus Mewtwo is just a genuinely more interesting Pokémon to me (I say this btw as someone who is not a genwunner. My favourite generation is Gen 9 because of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves. And Gouging Fire and Iron Boulder. And Quaquaval, Meowscarada, Armarouge and Ceruledge. And Iron Bundle, Iron Jugulis, Iron Moth, Iron Valiant, Miraidon and Iron Crown. Plus gens 6 and 8 are the runners up (followed by gens 3 and 7). It’s rare that I obsess over Gen 1 Pokémon ever since Flareon got overtaken as my favourite Pokémon by Ceruledge and hasn’t returned since despite how many times I’ve had a change in favourite Pokémon since then) so I will go into this with the mentality that I will give up sooner than I did for the Mewtwo raids even though knowing me I’ll get addicted to the effort and continue and then in the unlikely situation I successfully beat it I’ll name it something suggesting it has a superiority complex (I guess suggests because of nominative determinism? Idk I just wasn’t sure how to phrase that)
