hc that for their fifth anniversary Neil gives Andrew a joke knife, one of those with the retractable blade.

at first Andrew was like :/ but then he discovered the power he had in his hands.

no one knew of the existence of this knife, so Andrew, with Neil's acting skills, gave more than one Fox a cardiac arrest, like Matt, Allison, Dan, Kevin and obviously Wymack pretending to stab Neil .

Aaron and Nicky found out the hard way that the knife was a fake: Andrew was bored, Neil was gone, and Nicky was being annoying.

the fake knife was physically the same as another one he had, so the rest of the Foxes had no way to distinguish between the real one and the fake one.

Neil loves to steal it and pretend to dramatically stab his friends. (very dramatically) and more than once he has pretended to bury it in his heart after some "hurtful" word from Andrew.

To contain to no au

Just a Question or something i see no one talking about.

(( for recap in the real world there been scary stories or legends of werewolves ))

So what would the pokemon version of a werewolf. ?

Were-lucario. ? Were-lycanroc. ? Were-mancectric. ? Or maybe.Were-rockruff. ?

Idk but what would be a person that turn into a pokemon cannie groups. Like were pokemon?

See, i dont think there's one specific version of "Were" Pokemon, and i truly believe it's based on the Regional Dog or the most common ones that can get out of hand.

Arcanine seems to be the most common in Kanto

Houndour in Johto

Mightyena for Hoenn

**Luxray for Sinnoh

Unova would get Stoutland

Kalos would get Furfrou

Alola would have *Midnight Lycanroc

Galar would have Boltund

And Paldea would have Daschbund

But Justice! I hear you say. Why does each region have a different pokemon when some of them overlap? Why is it all dog pokemon? And Why these guys? Why aren't they more intimidating pokemon?

Were-*Wolf* you said, not a Lycanwere or any other. Wolf. And yes, not all of these pokemon are wolf, but there isnt many /wolf/ pokemon and dogs are the next best things! This, this and i do see dog pokemon biting more humans than any other species

Not all of these dogs are intimidating. Well, to us yeah. But in universe they're bound to be more feral and a lot more dangerous than the average werewolf. Not to mention, they dont outright TURN into wolves, its an almalgamation of wolf/Human that is distorted into a monster. Hence why, the intimidation of the dog itself doesn't matter. But how the warped Were looks while still identifying as the main species.

And yes! Some of the dogs overlap other regions, and to that i say that the interlacing species is fine! Those weres DO appear there, but the most common ones are the ones naturally residing there or have a higher population count.

The legendaries of were's gets a bit perverted throughout the regions. Some of them reign them as demons, and others reign them as some sort of good omen. It's very uncommon that you'll get the same meaning of the werewolves and how to cure them.

The only common thing is that they get bit in the full moon.

*Midnight Lycanroc is specific because Werewolves are known to shift during a full moon only, whoch takes out Midday and Dusk form Lycanroc. Thus also perpetuating Midnight Lycanrocs already terrible reputation.

**Luxray is the only acception because I cannot find a Dog pokemonn native to Sinnoh!

what do you do when generally you draw for 4-6 hrs a day and now you can’t? should i let the forest reclaim me?

People in this fandom are so afraid of the mere idea that Luka's feelings maybe remotely reciprocated by Hyuna, either in the past or present, it's kinda funny imo.

Everyone be like "yeah let's ship the toxic heteros!" or "they're the only het couple I ship!" But only when Luka is a pathetic and possesive yandere/simp for her and she looks either unbothered or even disgusted by his affections, the moment any reciprocity might be hinted either by canon or fanon, you all back away or even start being mean.

HOLY SHIT THE TITLE DROP. WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS REFERENCING SAKURAGAKURE SOMEHOW BUT IT WAS ALL ABOUT KAKASHI FINDING HEAVEN WITH OBITO STILL BROKEN BUT WHOLE, IN KAMUI... OMG...

HAHA ABOUT THAT TITLE DROP

Title drops are so sexy. But this is a weird example - I was working hard the entire story to find a way to drop that line, 'cause it's actually a reference to one of my favorite games and a lot of precious childhood memories (bonus points if you know what I'm referencing - you can actually compare/contrast the two games pretty well). When I started trying to dredge up a title I was having a lot of trouble, so @lazuliquetzal suggested that I use that line. I was kind of resistant, 'cause I do not like using song lyrics as the titles of my own fic (and poetry is on thin ice), but since I could tell what an influence the game itself had on the fic it felt alright.

It also directs the reader to a question I want them to ask themselves throughout the story - 'you call this a utopia?' makes you ask 'what makes a utopia at all?'.

The bait and switch is on the foundation of that question. The Q feels as if it's coming from a human mouth, and at first glance it has to be a person looking at Sakuragakure and denying that it fits the definition. Of course it's not Obito who asks, because Obito thinks he knows. The movement of Obito's character arc is towards asking himself that question - is towards him being challenged on his own beliefs, and accepting a different point of view. 'This' wasn't Sakuragakure - it was the shitty world that they lived in, and it was the space between Obito & Kakashi that caused them so much pain.

How could you call this imperfect world a utopia? How could you name your suffering as happiness? How could you look at the mangled remnants of the person you loved and call him perfect when he's hurt so many people? Why would you ever prefer the messy present to the nostalgic past - this cruel reality over a perfect dream?

Why indeed. To answer any of those questions, you have to ask what a utopia even is. Hopefully the reader has been asking themselves that question. I know my answer, but that's been informed by my own history and far too many years of niche Buddhism. I think it's a decent question to ask. I hope your answer is informed by the moments of perfect happiness you've had in your life. Thanks for the ask!
