#a wild pokemon appears!

Best part about writing fiction is when a new character appears. When I sat down this morning, I didn't know this guy. But now he's an integral part of the narrative. Always been there, in fact. I just hadn't met him yet.

So I just rediscovered my most popular bit of art 😅 I had no idea this had even really hit an audience back when r/traaa was still alive and well!

For anyone out there who is wanting to get into drawing comics, just look at this! I was doing what I could with what little I had at the time and I had so much fun doing it 💜 my advice will always be to just go for it. You'll always find someone who likes your work 😊

One hard thing about this one specific website is that a lot of users claim that they want to be allies to people who have autism but the moment the traits that they have aren't cute they get really, really annoyed. The moment someone isn't obsessed with cartoons, stims in the 'right" way and isn't some sort of marketable person who's easily to relate to, the person in question is automatically someone ten times worse, because autism obviously only comes in one form.

Speaking to several people on here, I've noticed other autistic people get angry when someone doesn't get social cues, understand things like certain memes, sarcasm or jokes or can't "read the room" and instantly they're automatically stupid and their intelligence is pulled into question. I've asked people here, somewhere in the dozens to explain to me a joke or a concept, or ask them to elaborate on something and it then becomes a huge hassle on their part because I'm too stupid to understand a joke.

Tumblr feels like one of the only websites where autistic people can kind of feel some sort of semblance of belonging and feel safe, at least that's what I've heard from a good handful of people until people who want to be unnecessarily rude, or something close to a high school bully decide to jump in and decide it's funnier to not explain one of the many sitewide jokes that involve gaslighting like Goncharov, or that when a new meme comes out, someone doesn't immediately get it.

Maybe this is just me but it feels like sometimes when people don't act like that little white tbh creature and have traits, symptoms, interests or behaviors that aren't cute and force them to be awkward or uncomfortable, that person is suddenly bad, evil and stupid.

Faba: Shut up!

can you tell that i think about this game a lot

Leon didn't used to cook. He was a chronic workaholic relying on take out and leftovers of take out.

Wes didn't used to cook either, relying on rations and questionably made pub food. Until he started literally living in the Wild Area, when he learned from the wild Pokemon the best places to forage food from. Now that he had a lot more free time on his hands, he decided that he might as well experiment with cooking.

One thing Leon learned the hard way: Wes has no taste buds. At all. Wes once started eating an onion like an apple. His favorite type of berry was Pinap because "it was spicy" (he was allergic), and there were multiple times where Wes has eaten mold and tree bark on accident.

Clearly, this cannot continue. Now Leon has more free time on his hand (due to his boyfriend telling Rose to fuck off) and has decided to put that time into learning to cook delicious food. His friends are at least glad that he has found a hobby, even if it was connected to his relationship. Sonia was his usual taste tester, sometimes with Hop and Gloria helping, and it took several months for Leon to get a handful of recipes he thinks Wes will like.

It's all worth it when he gets to see Wes's smile.

Depends, how good are you at sword to sword combat?

Lose. 100%. Unless it's a Pokemon battle. I'm pretty good at those (unless Laios just sucks)

[i-am-braixen]

Are you aware of how the internet's artists portray you?

oh sweet anon, they don't call me the spicy braixen for my curry recipe, if I had money I'd probably commission more

I didn't think the block anon function actually worked until I see the notification that I got an ask and it immediately vanishes. I'm tempted to just turn it off in all honesty because people are really scared to show their faces when harassing someone.

Not to be rude but if you hate me so much and want me to die for something I didn't do, why not get the credit? /gen

Oh hey, you play Pokémon ttrpg stuff? That's cool, tried it once myself but the system we used felt pretty stifling. What system do you use?

I play with @cerinslair and he uses the old Pokémon Tabletop United 1.05 ruleset (I think?). It can be a lot but that's partly because a) most battles are double battles so combat ends up taking that much longer and b) I'm playing with a group that I previously played 3.5e with, which. Is also kind of a lot lol but Cerin's been working with us to pare down the amount of time and work it all takes! We're having a lot of fun even if the system was NOT made for an eight-badge-gym-challenge-and-champion format game lol. I'm wanting to run a smaller campaign myself at some point, debating if I wanna use the modified system that we're using for this campaign or something else...but I'm not doing anything there besides turning it over in my head, so.

today i discovered there's a pokemon called Klinklang and that is such a funny word it brought me immense joy so thought id share

it’s even better than that!! Klinklang is the final evolution of two other pokemon

the first one is called Klink (can you tell where this is going already? 😉)

then this guy(s??) evolves into… guess what 🥰 Klang!!

so their final evolution is just those two names mushed together, which is both incredibly stupid and a stroke of pure genius that will never be repeated

(also the japanese name is Gigigiaru, which is just a nice word to pronounce 🥰🥰)

also i love the bulbapedia entry

it “may be a combination of klink and klang” be so for real right now
