FURBY PHOTOGRAPHY YIPEEE

enjoy these pictures of my children!

Also I need a name for this one! I’m seeing him into my highschool graduation cap (with easy to remove temporary stitches) I also need a quote feel free to suggest!

If anyone was curious as to where these were taken they were taken at a brook near my dwelling! The Maine woods are very photogenic :3

So what are the caps on your drinks from Spinda's cafe made of? Magi Glass?

Guildmaster: It's crazy, because somehow pokemon know what glass is here! The first time I saw a cup I asked my Wigglytuff mama if it was made with magic or something from a dungeon, and she explained that it's sand that gets heat up until it melts, and then talented pokemon can make them into different shapes! Some things also use metal lids, and they'll even imprint logos and other crazy things on them! I have nooo idea how they came up with that kinda thing. They probably dug up a bunch of old human artifacts and studied them!!

Keaton: Well. You've heard the phrase "history repeats itself", haven't you sir?

Guildmaster: Yeah!! ... What's that got to do with it?

// one thing that I always think is interesting about how pmd is interpreted is the level of technology folks seem to think the pokemon have accessible to them. somehow it's easy to imagine that they have an organized postal system (implying the existence of addresses, which implies the existence of property borders and surveying, and also implies a printing press or at least reliable access to writing materials- and not just for scholarly purposes, but to write newsletters and junk mail on a wide scale), an economy (implies the development from a trade and barter system, as well as the ability to smelt and manufacture a currency), and complex architecture involving steel I beams (something I'm pulling from gurdurr's shop in gates which i'm sure is just meant to be visual shorthand, but it's something developed in the mid-1800s which is around when light bulbs came into the scene)... but they somehow don't know what glass-blowing or threaded fasteners are despite being a technique developed almost 2,000 years before a lot of those other things lmao. not to mention even older methods of craft like clay which date all the way back to over 20,000 years ago. I think a lot of it has to do with how pmd itself isn't quite consistent with what technology exists, trying to go for a medieval but whimsical feel with a few comforts from modern day thrown in. but playing around with those expectations with characters like the guildmaster and julius is fun B) I'm of the thought that if a society has developed language, culture, and economy, it's not really far-fetched to think they'd have basic comforts

I found a historical dance group around an hour away from my home. For free.

I am going to explode, on my way for my first time right now

BTW, my baby brother came up with the best threat ever and I’m mad I didn’t think of it first:

“I’m gonna cut you to ribbons with a paper plate.”
