all I knew going in was that the movie was called "Godzilla Minus One" and I was like "haha you mean there's no Godzilla in this? less than one Godzilla?" wrong, there was indeed a Godzilla. 11/10 movie

Hello!!! I love your art :oDDD Its very cute and soft, and the way each of the characters have their own personal animal motifs, aaaaaaa, they feel perfect and unique and I boop Punz's snoot. Dream's horns are definitely my favorite part of his design, they're sharp and curvy and Fun and make the brain go brr. I have no idea if that makes sense. shhhh
I think the first one might be my favorite just from sheer intensity that the red- both in the entirety of the picture but also in Punz's eyes- conveys. Punz is a wolf ready to attack, and Dream has this little furrow in his brow that makes him look dangerous even when he's lying in Punz's arms. (Is he angry? smirking? the curve of his mouth is a mixture of both and its such a lovely expression.) (the limp arm, how he's clearly vulnerable but so trusting of Punz. I am Normal.)
I saw the crown resting on the couch in the second one and promptly went insane because!!! yesyesyesyes theyre Resting and Relaxing and its about the Detail of it all and the way they're all cuddling on the couch. The hand in Sam's floof and the ckau book Punz is reading!!! what if I died what if we all died
LISTEN THE MEME IS CORRECT AND GOOD AND ALSO SAM'S LITTLE ARM LEG APPENDAGES AAAA. I care them So Much. Punz looks very done and that is so valid of them.

Sleep well, I’ll be here as you rest- a lil pokemon au fic
soooo i sent a headcanon last night that I cannot stop thinking about for @sugarglider9603 ‘s pokemon au and i decided to try writing a fic for it!
(im sorry in advance if anyone is out of character this is my first time writing thomas and the boys)
The afternoon was sunny and breezy as Thomas stretched his arms in the air, smiling happily as he watched his pokemon play together in the Alamos gardens. If he glanced to the side he could easily see the relaxed form of Darkrai observing them all from the shade as he had been doing for a few days now. The thought of it made Thomas smile, and he waved a little to the Legendary while keeping an eye on the playing eeveelutions. He trusted them but he’d had a few too many run in with Team Rocket for the man’s comfort, and so he sat close to his team and watched over them, smiling as Remus dragged over something metal from the trashcan. 
       “ Oh? Is this for me? Thanks Remus, its great.” He reached down and scratched behind the beaming Leafeon’s ear and chuckled as he bounded off in Roman’s direction, Deceit trotting after him. He looked down and picked up his present, what appeared to be a broken bicycle bell and set it in his bag. For a few moments as he sat back up he felt a little dizzy but Thomas simply brushed it off and rolled his shoulders, suddenly too cold despite the warm sun beating his back. 
‘ Maybe it was just the breeze...cant worry too much about it now’ There wasnt enough time. After all once they were done enjoying the gardens he had to get something for them for dinner and start getting things ready for the contest coming up in a couple days. He smiled watching Remus pounce on Roman and the two brothers roll around play fighting while Logan and Patton wandered around the flowerbeds, picking flowers and enjoying the sunshine while Virgil napped beside Darkrai in the shade. Everything was nice and peaceful, so peaceful Thomas could ignore his slowly growing headache or how much heavier his body felt. 
After awhile and one deep breath Thomas gave a small whistle, noticing the sun going down much sooner than he thought, hitting 6:30 already. 
        “ Hey guys! C’mon its getting late and I bet you’re all hungry! Let’s go get dinner!” He winced at the raspy edge to his voice smiled seeing them all perk their ears and trot over to him chirring and chattering with each other. Thomas beamed and with more difficulty than he expected he heaved himself off the bench and to his feet. Instantly all the icky feelings he had amplified, as if he got dunked into ice water. He shivered and swayed, rubbing a hand over his face “ ugh...that’s not a good feelin....g...” He barely got his sentence out as his vision blurred, feeling his body lurching forward. The last thing he could remember where panicked cries of alarm and rapid footfalls along with the feeling of arms around him before his consciousness fully faded...
For a few moments there was nothing but panic.
       “ Thomas?!” “ Oh god is he dead??” Oh no oh no oh no” “ Thomas wake up!!” “what happened???”
‘ Everyone take a deep breath. Youre human is very much alive’ 
They all quieted and looked up at the deeper, calm voice of the older pokemon, their beloved trainer now cradled unconscious in his shadowy arms.
‘ He is merely sleeping, and he will live.’  Most of them were able to calm down, but Virgil was restless and fidgeting, pawing at the dirt with his ears pressed against his head. Roman leaned against him and licked between his ears to try to soothe the smaller pokemon. It worked a little, easing the worst of his fidgeting.
       “ We need to get him to the pokemon center. The nurse will know how to help him.” Logan hopped up on the bench and licked Thomas’s finger, noticing his skin felt too hot. With a plan and a destination Logan decided to lead the way back to the pokemon center, trying to avoid running into to many people as they ran. 
When they burst through the doors Patton was the one who rushed towards the desk crying and hopping up to get Nurse Joy’s attention. He startled her but one glance behind him and the older woman was around her desk though she was pale and nervous.
     “ Oh no, is this boy your trainer?” At the nods she called for her chansey and carefully approached, though she stopped a few feet away when Remus and Deceit growled protectively. They only stopped when Virgil squirmed inbetween them and bapped their noses, wanting their attention and reassurance(which he immediately recieved). The nurse looked at Darkrai and bowed her head a little respectfully, clearly nervous to be confronting the legendary.
     “ Darkrai...may I please take him to make sure hes ok? I promise it wont take long.” He considered her silently and very gently placed Thomas into her arms, warning her to take good care of him. Then he sat on the floor with the worrying eeveelutions and watched over them, his deep voice gently assuring them their human would be fine as the woman and her chansey hurried into an examination room with Thomas.
    “ He’s right in here boys. He’s asleep so dont rough house too much ok? Your trainer seems to have come down with a cold and had a pretty high fever, but its expected to break during the night.” She leaned down and set out food for all of them and gently patted the heads of who would let her smiling as she told them Thomas would be awake and better by morning, though he’d have to stay in bed a couple days to fully recover. As soon as the door shut they all tried to jump onto the bed and huddle around their trainer.
      “ I hope he wakes up before morning...” Virgil whimpered as he paced up and down the bed. He only stopped when Logan rubbed against him comfortingly.
      “ I feel the same, but he also needs as much sleep as he can get. Thomas will be fine Virgil, lets try to relax.” He tried, the espeon really tried but within a few minutes he was pacing again. This time he felt a cold hand on his head and looked up at Darkrai, his body relaxing when he felt the Legendary’s clawed hands gently scratch his fur.
‘ I will be here to watch over him little one, he will be safe. You all will.’ He nodded and curled up against Thomas’s neck and head, purring when Roman hopped up and laid as much against him as he could on Thomas’s shoulder. Slowly each of the others hopped onto the bed. Remus curled up against Thomas’s hip using said hip as a headrest, Deceit stretching our next to him along Thomas’s right side. Patton curled up on Thomas’s chest nuzzling him worriedly as Logan laid on his stomach beside the Sylveon, nuzzling him and smiling a little as they fell asleep together. And as they all fell asleep Darkrai sat beside the bed vigilantly, making a content noise at the sweet sight of the pokemon sleeping on their human, making sure nothing happened as the night passed calmly.
      “ Nnngh...” Soft morning light filtered through the bedroom window as Thomas pried his eyes open, already feeling better though he was having some trouble breathing. But he knew the weight on his chest and smiled as he rubbed his eyes yawning. The moment he moved he saw them all stir and wake up.
     “ H-hey guys....morning--ack ack!” He yelped and couldnt help but giggle as they all tried to swarm him frantically, burying him in fur and fluff and licks and kisses from worry. He held them all tightly smoothing each of their furs and trying to nuzzle them back.
     “ hehe I love you guys too! Im sorry i worried you...its ok im fine now!” Even so they did everything they could to keep him in bed for the next couple days, all while the shadowy legendary come back every day to check up on them and watched over them every single night.
The end
aaaaaaa I hope you guys like this! Its been a few months since I’ve been able to write so I hope it isnt too bad! Maybe I’ll be able to write more now! 
Enjoy!

fallout 4 companions best to worst
with funny images at the start of each character review! DLC companions included! also BIG TIME SPOILERS FOR FALLOUT 4 OKAY 3 2 1 GOOOO!
1. nick valentine - clockwork PI 
Tumblr media
positives: he’s a robot detective who loves neon and smokes even though he has no lungs you know he’s a man who appreciates aesthetic.
negatives: none
2. old longfellow - old salty 
Tumblr media
positive: grandpa time. he's perfect. this man is everyone's rough and tumble but supportive grandfather. he's a rough block of wood, well worn and with a sense of humor, drinking habits, great dialogue, fantastic personality and can follow you around, he never outwears his welcome. he can even follow you around the commonwealth. rivals nick valentine for best companion to me.negative: i can't really think of ANY.
3. codsworth - lovable orb 
Tumblr media
positives: truly a stalwart companion, never abandons you, waited 2 centuries for the player character. it made me upset you couldn't romance them, the character who truly had a connection with you. they're fantastic and the top 3 was a REALLY close call.
negatives: cannot romance, wHY TODD YOU COWARD
4. preston garvey - minutemen general 
Tumblr media
positive:  i can't even bring myself to post a jokey image for him he's just that good. god his character is good. he's a broken man, but he still doesn't stop helping others, or giving up hope. he's truly a good person, but not unrealistic. he has his limits, and can bend and break. and unlike other companions strangely, he DOES have more loyalty breaking points than the others, like if you side with raiders he will shoot you on sight. unless you deviate from the carefully curated quest paths in which case aaaaaaa also his backstory good, and i like how he faces his inner demons, altho i wish he'd just take the mantle of general. he honestly deserves it.
DOWNSIDES: ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEdS OUR HELP. making any companion a never ending, radiant quest hub, is a BAD FECKIN IDEA BOYO. BUCKO ITS A BAD IDEA. as a result of him being a radiant quest hub, its the onbly thing people know about him, care about, and experience while in game, because before and after every character interaction is something about his radiant quest hub quests. also romancing him feels HORRIBLE just like mac cready.
5. john maccready - ratface 
Tumblr media
positives:  Positives, I like snarky mercs. And he had real Scout vibes.Honestly if you forget he existed in any other fallout games, on his own he's a decent companion. I like having him around, he's like that coworker of yours who keeps stealing office supplies but he always has spare smokes if you ask. honestly maccready is like if you dipped piper in the FEV. he's just a better version of her.  she's too heavy handed i'm sorry
negative:  again bethesda's bad design about being afraid of upsetting consumers. because once you finish his personal quest, spoilers getting the cure for his infant son's sickness, he should IMMEDAITELY RETURN TO HIS SON. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE MAC AND CHEESE. GO RAISE YOUR SON. also romancing him just feels dirty and manipulative. this MAN IS CLEARLY STILL GREIVING FOR HIS DEAD WIFE!!!  most of the romance paths honestly feel dirty and manipulative to me, like you're taking advantage of their friendship and trust in you
6. Ada - actual wife 
Tumblr media
positives: i love robots and this is like if curie didn't suck and wasn't born sexy yesterday. she has a character arc and is cool and has personality and also she's made of different robot parts when she starts out and that's cool. her story is good and even her generic lines are charming.
negatives: after the mechanist dlc is over she has no more unique cool things to say, and its sad they didn't prepare enough dialogue for her
7. john danse - paladin pants 
Tumblr media
positives: danse is a trooper, he's a boot boy yeah. in literal apocalypse land tho, understandable. also he is loyal to his team and anyone he considers his friends. once he spoilers is exiled from the brotherhood for being a synth and loses his way he does lose some of his hangups, becomes a more thoughtful person. his character arc is good, i like how he ends up.
negatives: holy fuck my cat just jumped in my lap he's like my way or the highway haha. anyways back to pants paladin. like i said he has some hangups, aka his racism from living in the brotherhood, a proto-fascist military cult. but honestly this doesn't make him a bad character, and he does get better from it. i'm gonna be real here the only negative about him is again, THE ROMANCE PATH. IT FEELS SO NEGATIVE AND DIRTY AND MANIPULATIVE. like i see people say he's a bad character but no he's just a bad person. and even then, he does learn and adapt.you can have characters who aren't good people in your stories
8. piper - waifu bait 
Tumblr media
positive:  extra extra read all about it, the tracer of fallout 4 not totally a bad thing tho, she's just.obviously the companion you're supposed to like the most.
negative:  her quirkiness has its charms but it can be KINDA much sometimes. also she’s obvious waifu bait. however in the end she's really more a person i'd want to argue with as a friend and hang just chill around she's pushy tho and i don't like being railroaded into certain quests or storybeats.
9. dog - dog 
Tumblr media
positive: dog is dog
negative: is not robot detective or butler, but is still good
10. deacon - MY EYES!!! 
Tumblr media
positives: charming spy man, so deep in the weeds he doesn't even know his own past or even if he's a synth. that's quirky and cute. he also has that very obvious spy charm of, his disguise is just him wearing clothes. iits funny like superman putting glasses on.
negatives: honestly he's just kinda bland. he's such a mystery wrapped in an enigma locked in a puzzlebox owned by that demon guy with the needles in his head, that there's nothing to know about him. really i can't figure him out. or get to know him.then again some of that is due to trust issues. i mean neat character trait but there's not much for me to consume here.
11. john hancock - anarcho beef jerky 
Tumblr media
positive:  he's a pretty free wheeling kinda dude and i like that, he stands up against bad authority, to an extent, and that's where some of my issues crop up
negative:  it could also be blamed on shitty bethesda afraid you wouldn't do certain content if it locked you out of your favorite companions, but he'll stand with you through allying with the institute, the brotherhood, anyone. also his anarchist leadership style has resulted in a lot of issues for his community he doesn't seem keen on fixing or reflecting on anytime soon. also constant substance abuse and he'll encourage you to take on the party hardy lifestyle tooi just look at freeside i mean goodneighbor i mean freeside and i think "man you're supposed to be the king i mean the mayor you should do better". ripoff of the king i'm gonna rip off the bandaid tbh, not even as cool as the king. the king really looked out for freesiders while hancock kinda just... meanders about the place. being mayor with no authority on purpose just makes you, a guy who kills people sometimes.
12. automatron - build-a-bear workshop BUT WITH GUN 
Tumblr media
positive: there's a few distinct personality modules and voice actors for the automatron companions, each one is enjoyable, i liked them, and they were all different from each other. i consider them like mini companions. plus being able to build your very own custom robots with any parts you want is the most epic part of this companion.
negative: the dialogue for the voice actor packs is pretty limited, like pretty limited. not a lot to hear before they loop. i'd have to say these are more neutral than even X6-88 for me
13. X6-88: oh that uniquely named courser that showed up as i destroyed the institute, wait he was a companion??? 
Tumblr media
positives:
okay negatives time
negatives:for real tho he's just uh, again kind of a Nothing character. not as disappointing as Strong tho. As an institute courser he's just... well he just Is. he exists. doesn't really question his nature tho, or consider what life would be like outside the institute... its like if Danse had no character arc at all and spoilers just stayed in the brotherhood like a good proto-fascist feudalistic power armored boot boy. he feels like a quota like todd howard walked in the design room and said "we need an institute companion" and then the designers said "... fuck. we're almost done with the game's story okay lets cook something up". i'd have to say he's perfectly average. he's like the bland guy from the wendys commercials about how spicy their chicken is
14. porter gage - why do i keep stepping on this rake 
Tumblr media
positives: his armor looks cool, and his voice actor is good. i like that a raider character is portrayed by a sneaky advisor type instead of just a chest beating tough guy on chems. porter is an interesting take, and his motivations and methods are interesting.
negatives: his motivations don't make sense though. he's seen over and over in his life that raiders simply are unsustainable and don't work, always breaking apart. yet he... still wants to be a raider, and advise raider gangs? it doesn't make sense. also if you buddy up with him preston will hate you, and you have to eliminate your OWN settlements in the commonwealth. sorry porter but i'm not willing to make that kind of sacrifice at all. he's alright as a character but not really deep. having a backstory doesn't mean you're deep, that's Bethesda Deep™. Bad, no. Die now with the rest of nuka world, gage.
15. strong - fallout 3 was a mistake 
Tumblr media
positives: non-human companion, i like that. super mutants are always cool
negatives: lumpy and misshappen as fuck oh god he's like a slab of moldy ribs. also his character? what character? he's just a bog standard super mutant, not even a cool one from the west coast. he's just an orc, a raider painted green with half a brain and a penchant for eating people. he doesn't change or evolve, he's just. he's a Nothing character.
16. curie - born french yesterday 
Tumblr media
positives:  so i guess i should start with the positives since that's a trend in this list now. positives! robot, and one that's both aware of how the world's dead but wants to learn, and make it better. i always like robots, and well. uh. robot. i'm out of positives now.
negatives: she is the living embodiment of th e born sexy yesterday trope. profoundly naive, yet unimaginably wise. and spoilers once she gets a SEXAYYYYY human bod from a braindead synth, her naive nature is played up even further as WHAT EEZ DIS STRANGE FEELING UWU I FEEL HORMONE AND LUUUV its bad, its bad its bad. french maid plus nurse wrapped into one, with the mind of a child, aka its the born sexy yesterday trope. and you can only fuc once she's out of the robot body and this makes betheseda COWARDS. LET ME HAVE MY ROBOTS.
17. cait - drug
Tumblr media
positive:
negative: commit go away from my game. rude, not fun to be around, substance abuse storyline is NOT handled well. also in boston the one irish character is all fucked up come on man.

Fortnite vs Playerunknown's Battlegrounds
In today's episode of TheDecidedGamer podcast I'm talking about the recent controversy surrounding Fortnite's new battle royale mode and how Bluehole, the creator of PUBG, responded to the announcement of the new game type. There also might be something in there about a battle royale style Star Wars game. I'll leave a transcript of the episode down below for you guys as well.

Transcript: 
Hey what’s up gamers. On today’s episode of TheDecideGamer podcast we will be discussing the controversy surrounding Fortnite’s new battle royale mode and the response from Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds creator Bluehole. There’s a lot to unpack here, and somewhere in this episode I might talk about Darth Vader parachuting in looking to win a chicken dinner. So there’s that. Alright, let’s talk about gaming.
So there is a whole bunch of crap wrapped up in this story that we have to untangle. Eww…that’s kind of gross. Anyway, Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, just released a new game mode. Battle Royale. If you don’t know what fortnite is, it’s literally you building a massive fort to try and survive endless hordes of zombies. It’s a builder-survival game. However, as an additional FREE add on, that’s right gamers Free.99, AND its on console. Epic Games has included a battle royale mode. A game mode strikingly similar to Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds. Besides the art style and being able to build bridges and walls mid-combat, it is literally a replica of PUBG and H1Z1. Epic Games, while promoting this new mode in fortnite, named PUBG as an inspiration to the game. This did not sit well with Bluehole, the creator of PUBG, as they made a statement saying that they did not like Epic Games making references to PUBG during their promotions, and then ominously saying that they are considering quote unquote, further action. Complicating the situation even more is the fact that Bluehole is licensing the game engine, Unreal Engine 4, from Epic Games. Just to clear this up: Bluehole created a battle royale game called Playerunknown’s battle grounds. To do this, they used the game engine that Epic Games owns. Bluehole pays royalties to Epic Games for the use of this game engine. Epic Games then input a battle royale mode into Fortnite, a game that they created, essentially replicating the game mode that has been made most popular by PUBG. Jesus. Everybody with me still?
So let’s first decide if Bluehole has an argument. We can only assume that by “further action” that they mean legal action. Do they have a legal case against Epic Games? aaaaaaa not really. They do not have copyright over an entire genre, which is what battle royale is. But, there is still something that feels off in this situation. Epic Games released a game that is incredibly similar to PUBG. They gave Bluehole the license to use Unreal Engine 4, and then built a game on the same engine and promoted that game by stating how much their brand new awesome spectacular game--is just like that other battle royale game that is destroying records on Steam, and on many days, the number one viewed game on Twitch. There may not be a legal case, but it certainly feels a little dirty. Which leads to how Bluehole probably should have reacted.
PUBG is wildly successful. Much has been made of the game breaking the concurrent player record on steam. The press release threatening further action seemed kind of petty, even if it actually wasn’t. Most gamers don’t really care about the behind the scenes workings of how games are produced. By releasing the statement that Bluehole did, they demonstrated how the sausage was made. And nobody wants to see how the sausage is made. Besides that, Bluehole is still carrying itself like an Indie studio. While it certainly is that, it is also evolving. PUBG’s success has been incredible, especially for a game that is not fully released yet. Fortnite might be a good game eventually, but it will have to differentiate itself to compete with PUBG, or even H1Z1. For now, Bluehole should be concentrated on improving their game and getting it transitioned to console properly. If they were offended by Epic Games promoting Fortnite and using PUBG’s name while doing so, contact them behind the scenes. Communicate properly, presenting the dirty laundry for the world to see brings up arguments that I don’t Bluehole is ready to have. Bluehole is clearly not going to sue the company that is licensing them their game engine, so don’t issue a veiled threat like it’s an actual possibility. Act like the monster you are. Whoever is in charge of PR for Bluehole should have said something to the effect of: Fortnite is cute with its cartoon characters and treasure chests. PUBG is where real competition is, and we’re going to continue to deliver great content to keep our game fresh. We wish Fortnite the best, but if you want a real chicken dinner, we’ll see you at the School near Rozhok.
Because here is the simple fact: there will be more of these replicas.
  In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing ridiculous reincarnations of PUBG. A Star Wars Battlefront Battle Royale. You’re Darth Vader falling from the sky in a parachute, looking for a Scar and a 4x attachment, all black cape flowing beautifully in the wind. You pass by some soviet propaganda, even though the map is of Tatooine, EA just wanted to piss off Bluehole. Attempting to chase down Yoda, who clearly has an advantage via his size and natural camouflage. Only to be killed by a zooming speeder bike, that taunts you by honking 20 times as you cartwheel endlessly through the air. Shit. This is actually starting to sound badass. Someone contact EA and pitch them the idea…just don’t tell Bluehole.
Clearly I’m having a little bit of fun, but Fortnite is simply the most recent example. With the amount of success PUBG has had, there will be many more to follow, and Bluehole has to be prepared to shrug off the competition and push forward. If not, they will look continue to look petty, even though they raise some valid concerns.
Alright gamers, thanks for tuning in. What do you think of Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode. Do you think Bluehole has a legal argument? Let me know, you can send me comments on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, and Gmail by looking up TheDecidedGamer.
