[kafus]

please let me introduce you to NeverHappy, my most beloved pokemon ever.

i found her as a budew on someone else’s save file after buying a used copy of pokemon platinum. the name “NeverHappy” was a pretty obvious joke about how budew evolves from happiness, and since the previous owner was going to keep her in a box forever, never use her, and never evolve her, she would never be happy. this activated some feral response in my brain and i decided no. she WOULD be happy. i was still replaying through all my old gen 4 games at the time but i traded her off to my other gen 4 files for safekeeping until i could do stuff with her.

oh trust me game. i would.

so you might have thought my plans were to simply evolve her and beat the game with her, get her to level 100, maybe even EV train her - but i had much bigger plans. i was going to ribbon master her. the ribbon master challenge, or the process of “ribbon mastering” a pokemon, is getting every single ribbon possible on a pokemon from the game it was caught in to the most recent game it can be transferred to. if you weren’t aware, that’s a LOT of ribbons. there are 40 in gen 4 alone. i had a lot to do.

(the above clean screenshot was taken by backing up my cartridge save and screenshotting a battle video in emulator. however, i did all of this on my actual DS! i don’t like playing on emulator. not as fun)

i had to beat every contest (normal-master rank in all 5 categories) and do a bunch of other random stuff but my favorite part of the process was defeating the battle tower... 6 times. the battle frontier contains the most challenging battles in gen 4 by far, as opponents have good stats and competitive movesets. there’s 6 battle tower ribbons in gen 4 - two for singles at different points in the win streak, one for doubles, one for multis /w NPCs, one for multis /w another player (i just played with myself on two dses), and one for ranking up in the wi-fi room, which is now accessible again due to fan servers restoring internet functionality for gens 4 and 5.

NeverHappy was randomly caught in the wild and did not have a competitive nature or stats, so i figured that she would just be tagging along in the back while i took out all the win streaks with 2 good pokemon, but she ended up clutching out wins in times of dire need... multiple times. she even ended up being necessary in the wi-fi room to stall out prevalent hacked pokemon like no guard sheer cold machamp, which hits 1 hit KO moves every time, with a gimmicky and convoluted leech seed + substitute strategy.

i could go into all of my team members and the excessive lengths i went to get them all (don’t even get me started on my shiny competitive latias from pokemon emerald) but that’s a story for another day.

by the end of gen 4 i was extremely emotionally attached and she was already becoming one of my favorite pokemon, now with 40 whole ribbons after days and weeks of effort.

i have ribbon mastered pokemon before, so all of my save files in gens 6, 7, and 8 were already set up to transfer neverhappy into and grab all of the ribbons. i had a lot more battling and little tasks ahead of me. it’s really cool how ribbon mastering forces you to interact with pretty much every feature of every pokemon game.

and so i transferred her! gen 5 doesn’t have any ribbons, so it was just an intermediary to transfer into gen 6. at this point, i had also acquired a shiny luxray from pokeradar chaining in platinum named Nightlight, and i was ribbon mastering them together, but once again, a story for another day.

first into gen 6... getting the super training ribbon was really annoying but the battle maison was pretty easy. i had a team in multis with terrakion and a whimsicott with beat up that could 1 hit KO all of the boss battle’s legendaries in one hit LOL

then gen 7... this one went by pretty quickly but i opted to get the best friends ribbon here instead of in XY or ORAS because it was really simple to get with rainbow pokebeans, since all you have to do is max out affection and it only takes a couple rainbow beans to do that in USUM.

and gen 8! you can see nightlight to the left in this picture. by far the hardest part of gen 8 was getting the ribbon awarded for winning a battle in master rank in online VGC against other players. i definitely had to grind that one for a while.

then, she even got an award in BDSP for being a pokemon originating from the original diamond/pearl/platinum games, which was really cool.

oh, and since i had cloned neverhappy back in gen 4 with a glitch so that i would always have a copy of her in her origin games, i was able to take this neat picture! how the times have changed LMAO

luckily she was even a part of PLA’s roster and i was able to take a picture with her there, too... which actually might end up being important since there’s an invisible flag somewhere in the game’s code that gets turned on when you take a picture with your pokemon in the photo studio, which could potentially become a ribbon in the future in another game.

so, trainer Platina from 2016, you were wrong! NeverHappy is in fact happy now and has done more than most people’s pokemon have seen in their entire lifetime. she is my most cherished pokemon and i love her more than i love myself. i think i would die for her

i abbreviated this story a lot because i didn’t want to make this post longer than it already was but i was randomly inspired to talk about this today since SV is coming out soon and there will be more ribbons to collect for any of my ribbon masters that can be transferred into SV, which got me thinking about her. my journey with ribbon mastering has taught me more about pokemon games than any normal person should ever know and if you were interested in any details i left out or how i accomplished certain ribbons (including battle frontier strategies) feel free to shoot me an ask! :D i love talking about pokemon at any time any day of the week.

Some tips for the 7-Star Mewtwo Raids:

-Mewtwo has the following moves: Calm mind, Aurasphere, Psystrike, Ice Beam, Rest (and is holding a chesto berry).

-Mew gets a 50% HP increase and a 20% stat boost across the board when used for this raid. (The Mew I used had 252 EVs in attack, 252 in Special defense, 6 in HP, was careful nature and was holding a metronome and it fared pretty well).

-Bug Teratype Mew does damage with the following move-set: Struggle bug (first three turns to terastillize and lower Mewtwo's special attack), Swords dance (turns 4-6), Leech life (max PP), with the fourth move being either Life dew, misty terrain (once the shield is about to break), or light screen.

-Use Misty terrain once Mewtwo's shield is about to break so it can't use rest! Continue using it every five turns to be safe. If Mewtwo is able to get rest off, you won't have enough time or usable damaging moves to defeat it. Trust me.

-Max out Leech Life's PP to 16. It's the only move that does a decent amount of damage and it heals your Pokemon in the process.

-At least for now, it CANNOT be soloed. However all but two of the random people I paired with online were using Mew (most of them were the build I listed above) and I had to attempt the raid 6 or 7 times before defeating it (one person used a Gholdengo which would have worked if they had used a damaging move the final turn, and the other used a Kingambit which got one-shot by Aurasphere four times)

[wainwrightjakobshammerlock]

im feeling very self conscious abt posting this to ao3 or gythian forbid the actual scp wiki so here's some high grade bullshit au stuff

O5-1 "The Baron"

Male. Assigned female at birth. Mixed ethnicity, but passes for white very convincingly. Planet of origin: Eden-6. Fluent in English, French and Japanese. Recorded age of around 60, recorded appearance consistent with this number. Wears a black ring studded with anahatium - obvious occult significance.

Confirmed anomalous nature: regenerative and shapeshifting abilities. Unusually loud heartbeat. Worshipped by GoIs 263 through 326 as a deity.

Usually accompanied by his husband, who is classified as "Keyring" (or PoI #222/B) in the files and reportedly also anomalous. Fatherly demeanor; if he actually does have children (and if so, how many) is unclear.

O5-1 "The Ancestor" [DEAD]

Male. White, with somewhat mixed ancestry. Planet of origin: Eden-6. Verified post-human lifespan.

Known ties to PoI #2/Alpha. Claims that either he or his family had a hand in the creation of the Foundation.

Leeched Killed by PoI #1/7/1/"Eve".

O5-1 "Pottery" or "The Cowboy"

Male. Birth sex unknown. Black. Planet of origin: unknown, but assumed to be Eden-6. Age unknown, looks about 40. Eyes always covered with opaque goggles, shades or a blindfold, despite being completely sighted - obvious occult significance.

Very lax with his job. Claims to have worked for over 20 different Groups of Interest before joining the Foundation.

[EXTENSIVE SECTION CORRUPT]

O5-2 "The Bard"

Male. White. Planet of origin: Hephaestus. In his late thirties. Allegedly always shirtless, or always wearing sunglasses, or both.

Considered highly dangerous. Rumored to be a former [REDACTED] operative, as he will often suggest violent neutralization instead of actually containing an anomaly.

Strange fixation on explosions. Claims to have blown up Pandora's other moon, then used SCP-[REDACTED] to make everyone think it only ever had one.

Jovial and friendly, but highly incompetent. If sources are to be believed, O5-2's silliness is the only thing keeping him from being voted off the council.

[EXTENSIVE SECTION CORRUPT]

O5-3 "The Stranger"

Male. White. Unknown origin. Seems to be at least in his forties. Always wears a mask of some kind, usually one of his own face - probably to cover up the Vault-shaped scar on it.

Fascinated with extraterrestial, pataphysical and thaumaturgical anomalies.

Supposedly took the council position by forcefully usurping it from someone else. Presumed dead.

O5-3 is not inherently anomalous, but seems to have some kind of influence on anomalous objects and especially people near him. Claims to have me SCP-[REDACTED] as his daughter, mourning her as if she was dead and casually talking about her as if she was alive in equal measure.

O5-3 "The Hologram"

O5-3 is an artificial intelligence, created by Dr. [CLASSIFIED] Nakayama on the off chance "The Stranger" was ever killed. Dr. Nakayama was apparently terminated soon after the project was complete.

It possesses sentience, and is largely identical to "The Stranger" in personality. It is capable of inhabiting any system, as well as hacking any system.

Reports on what system it is usually located in are contradictory, with some claiming it "lives" in the Foundation database and some that it permanently inhabits another overseer's cybernetics.

O5-3 "Minerva"

Female. White. Unknown origin. Verified post-human lifespan, looks around 40. Fluent in Greek and Latin. Rarely seen without some kind of armor piece on her body - significance unknown.

Confirmed reality bending capabilities, which she typically uses for combat purposes. Fascinated by ancient martial arts.

Head of MTF operations and similar more overt departments of the Foundation.

O5-4 "Rapture"

Male. Assigned female at birth. White. Unknown origin. Late thirties, the only thing inconsistent about his appearance is his facial hair. Extensive cybernetic augmentation, both anomalous and not. Formerly affiliated with GoI-Eta "Hyperion Corporation".

Advocates for research into technological anomalies, as well as reverse-engineering them for containment purposes. Reportedly was elevated to his current position in an incident somehow relating to O5-3 (which one of them is unclear).

Is in the command of MTF Alpha-111 "Crimson Lance", who primarily act as his personal bodyguards. Known ties to Dr. Dhar and several others.

[EXTENSIVE SECTION CORRUPT]

O5-7 "The Everywoman"

Described as morally unscrupulous. Advocates heavily for the weaponization of certain anomalies, notably SCP-[REDACTED] and SCP-[REDACTED].

O5-8 "Senior"

Male. Asian ethnicity. Unknown origin. Late sixties. Apperance within expected parameters, but otherwise very inconsistent. Cybernetically augmented.

Not much is known about O5-8. He rarely speaks and typically uses middlemen and intermediaries to get his point across.

[EXTENSIVE SECTION CORRUPT]

O5-8 "Junior"

Male. Assigned female at birth. Asian ethnicity. Planet of origin: Asgard. Late thirties. Extensive cybernetic augmentation, mostly anomalous. Never seen without some kind of sword - possible occult significance.

Handles the Foundation's finances. In charge of operating most Foundation fronts and acquiring new ones.

Supposedly the son of "Senior". Has some kind of grudge against O5-4, or wants them to be his friend.

O5-9 "Tiebreaker"

O5-9 does not exist. The position of tiebreaker is simply rotated among the council, and whoever has it has the last say.

@muraenide sent: 3, 2, 1... ( Trey ) [Send 3, 2, 1... for a New Year's Kiss from my muse | selectively accepting]

10.. 9.. 8.. 7..

It seems as if everyone around Trey starts counting down the seconds to midnight, leaving him the only one not joining in with the choir of voices. It will happen whether he participates or not and there's no one near him to share the moment with, so why bother? It's not like he's all that fond of the sound of his own voice. Instead he raises his gaze to the night sky, waiting in anticipation of the firework that was promised to light up Sage's Island.

6.. 5.. 4..

3.. 2..

Either the firework starts prematurely or the excited crowd is a second behind, because the last number of their count is drowned out by the noise of two dozen fireworks soaring into the air at the same time and exploding in spectacle of colors and light. For a moment it is as bright as day and Trey's eyes widen as he takes in the beautiful display. His heart beats faster for a moment or two, then it settles back into its usual rhythm. The magic of the midnight is strong, but it does not last.

More colors paint the firmament but Trey feels himself slip back into indifference. It's not a miracle nor a sign; it's simply man-made entertainment, designed to mark an arbitrary moment in time perceived to hold some kind of deeper meaning. Trey remembers a time when the turn of the year felt like a significant moment to him, like the end of something bad and the beginning of something good. He does not remember when it stopped feeling like that but it has been a while.

It is a night like any other. None of the bad things are ending and nothing good is beginning. Life may stand still for ten minutes, but as soon as the colors fade from the sky so does the spark of hope they've awoken. Nothing changes and nothing ever will; not in any way that matters. He's the same person he was the year before with the same future ahead of him and the same emptiness in his chest where his dreams and aspirations should be.

The firework show is still going strong when Trey decides he's had enough. He turns to leave and go back inside but he hasn't taken four steps when he spots a familiar face amidst the crowd. It's Jade Leech, standing next to a group of students, dressed in festive clothes that befit the occasion, his head tilted upwards. His skin shimmers with the reflection of the greens, purples, reds and yellows up above and there is a serene smile on his lips.

Nothing changes and nothing ever will.. but if he's really stuck in place then how much harm can a single act of selfishness bring about? A scandal for a week or two and then he'll be back to the same old routine. He can blame it on the magic of New Year's Eve, or even the alcohol Cater smuggled to the party. Perhaps he won't have to explain himself at all because no one will even care.

Before he knows Trey's steps carry him in a new direction, single-mindedly, until he stands in front of Jade. He doesn't greet him, doesn't wish him health and luck for the new year, or even offers him a chance to acknowledge his presence. Instead his hands find the lapels of Jade's jacket and pull him towards him, his lips sealing Jade's in a fervent kiss that almost feels a little violent until Trey eases into it.

Maybe he can take this night as an opportunity to change, if only for a moment. Tomorrow he'll go back to being the good brother and upperclassman, the reliable one, the one who doesn't get caught up in drama and disaster. But right now he's someone else; someone who doesn't care what the people around them will think, or even what Jade will have to say to this. Right now he's someone who dares to take what he wants and claim it without fear of the repercussions or hesitation slowing him down.

The three categories of depiction are photo or art, fixed or unfixed, visible or non-visible. This gives us 8 categories.

Okay... Catagory 1 is visible, fixed photo depictions. This is the Alex's on my pinboard (+10), the alexes on my thumbnail hanging thing (+35), and, of course, the big little alex on the wall (+1). Category total: 46 Current total: 46

(I can't be arsed to take new pics so if there's not a pic oh well)

Pic of the wall hanging before the big little alex went up

Pic of the big little alex before he went on the wall

Category 2 is un-visible, fixed photo depictions. there's nothing in this category I think.... I ws wrong! the thumbnail hanging thing is reversible and that adds 34 more hornes to our total Category total: 34

Category 3 is visible, unfixed photo depictions. This includes a little stand thing of alex running that's always by the pinboard (+1) and a printed out sheet of paper that's just loads of alex faces that I was going to use for something but still haven't (+110), and one laex on the spine of one of his books (+1). (Note: The moon's alexes would be in this category but the moon is not in my room at present) Category total: 112

Category 4 is un-visible, unfixed photo depictions. This includes the alex photos in/on his books (bring me the head of the taskmaster (hardback) (+15), 220 extraordinary tasks for ordinary people (paperback) (+2), wordwatching (paperback) (+3), birdwatchingwatching (hardback) (+3), on/in a couple of football programmes (+6), photos from 2 copies of horenology #0 (+7 (one is a test copy that includes one extra photo not in the final version), and a photo of me and alex in my treasure hunt notebook (+1) Category total: 37

Category 6 is un-visible, fixed, fanart. I don't think there's anything in this category Category total: 0

Category 7 is visible, unfixed, art. This catagory includes @rottenapplemil's art (Link to the art) (The poster that was where they're going to go is down! I just haven't clambered over my dresser yet) (+2), 2 crocheted alexes (I need to make another) (+2), the visible alexes on the birdhouse one of the crocheted alexes lives in (+7), a cover to one of @rottenapplemil's zines (see their ko-fi they're free!)

Category total: 267

Category 9: digital hornes. According to my spreadsheet there are (+745) bits of fanart I've done of alex. This includes traditional media though so (-23) from that. Please bare in mind, however, my spreadsheet isn't entirely up to date. As for photos I think it would only be fair to include the ones I use so my desktop wallpaper (+1) and my phone lock screen and wallpaper (+2). I can't be bothered to dig up every photo (I'm not a big photo saver but this does include nearly every tm thumbnail) , drawing, and video (my alex horne video folder contains 1275 files but for various reasons not all of them include alex and also this folder does not include taskmaster) of alex on my computer and count them so we're stopping here. Category total: somewhere between 725 and 4969.

So, with numbers that granular feel free to make your own judgement on my sins. The total for categories 1 to 8 is 512. If you don't want to include repeats its a little less than that. Including category 9 brings the total to somewhere between 1237 and 5481

heck it. I've been wanting to make this poll for a while

You can define depiction however you want. I already know this list is going to need several categories to cover the various definitions

Slept in the kitchen chamber (as since the 11th) my eye so much worse (last night the cheek so much swollen just below the right eye) feared something of Erysipelas – on going into the blue room at 11 ¼ found A- gone to bed and fast asleep – lay awake till about (near 2) and till then with my washing basing on my bed with cold water kept a perpetually moisted towel on my eye – this did it much good – so that I fell asleep, and, in the morning, tho’ I had not sent for leeches the 1st thing as I thought of doing, let A- send for Mr. Jubb – on awaking still kept on the cold towel system till breakfast (in bed – tea and teacake) about 11 – slumbered a little during the morning when A- was not with me – she was hardly gone to church when Mr. Jubb came about 2 ¼ and staid about near ½ hour – recommended more pills tonight and a [draught] in the morning and lying in bed and taking and I should soon be well – no erysipelas – A- back at 5 – Mr. Fenton had done all the duty – Mrs. F- at church – snowing hard, so A- took her to Cliff Hill but did not stay above a moment – A- dined at 6 ½ and I had tea and tea cake at 7 – had just before shewn A- my purchase at Whitleys yesterday Russells’ Jerusalem, she [w]as much pleased with the work as I, and, before and after dinner, read aloud 2 or 3 hours – gave me my pills, and left me soon after 11 pm – I never got up at all the day – in much perspiration in the evening after tea and this did me good – between six and seven incurred a x think[ing] as usual on these occasions of π. mused over the names of Adam and Even Ad-am (because made of red earth – clayey – al-um (um for Am?)

Eve the Espeon was an Eevee she caught on her journey

Charazard was given to her by Professor Sycamore as a Charmander

Honedge was an early member of her team, later renamed to Sheath

These three were boxed after being on the team for a while

Though, Aiden found Sinistea after returning to Galar

Later on, they are renamed to Mi'Geist

(Mi'lady/Mi'lord)

She REALLY wants to go to Alola because of Decidueye and Rockruff

She thinks Rockruff is adorable and loves Decidueye's aesthetic/Ghost typing

Coco the Gogoat was another early member, she is often taken out for travel

Pebbles the Rockruff was a Pokemon that Abalynn  found at Alola but didn't seem to like her

It turned out that Pebbles thought she abandoned him from a trip as a kid

Now he will always rushes to Abalynns side despite Aiden being their trainer

(Aiden thinks its adorable and doesn't mind)

Rowlet was a left over starter that Abalynn asked for because of Aiden liking Decidueye

-:Crossovers:-

:Miraculous:

If in Miraculous, they'd fit the Butterfly and would use it to turn one of her Pokemon into a Champion

She'd mainly Empower their Pokeballs and hide them in her subspace/Weapon

Lucario's would be his Lucarionite

(Mega Ring → Embedded under fur)

...Champion! Mega Lucario...

She'd give him an extra Typing, depnding on the situation

Though her favorite would be,

Fighting/Steel/Ghost

Can summon Will O' Whisps that drain or replenish energy from their targets

okay so rest does actually work and fully heal it rather than healing 1/50 of its HP, shockingly. a way to troll ditto raids later perhaps

more shockingly, i have been on a team that managed to beat it anyway after that full reset, because it had no shield and we had enough DPS to do so

standard setup is bug mew with struggle bug swords dance leech life (insert team support move) because the hp draining means it can afford to run Attack EVs and not die, i have yet to see a team beat this that wasn't four mews though despite the previous two raid events implying things like blissey and grimmsnarl were good picks for it

you'll probably want three swords dancers using either crunch or leech life and then, again, make sure to use PP ups too because i've seen raids run out of PP in the last minute multiple times

there also seems to be a point where its AI just kinda gives up on using calm mind which helps a lot on letting you transition into focusing on damage until it cleanses debuffs

oh come to think of it it might stop using calm mind at +6 spdef even if it's at -6 spatk, that might be why

already livetweeted about this but uhhh the mewtwo raid is fucked up. like, unbelievably fucked up.

i can't believe they're making every kid who wants a mewtwo try to beat this.

i love tera raids and i don't know if i can do this without a full group in a discord call who all coordinated our roles and movesets. we'd probably still mess it up a bunch of times.

if i have yet to see its hp dip lower than 70%, and it easily beats level 100 minmaxed stat mons that were trained specifically to counter it and nothing else, what are the regular people lining up in droves to get a mewtwo supposed to do here?
