Hi, Viewer Discretion:

This AU is about a nonexistent fictional mental health condition. There is imagery of straitjackets and other restraints, as well as mention of discrimination based off of health conditions. If you are uncomfortable with this content then please feel free to click off and enjoy something else. Thank you.

League Party sketch

Sketch dump for Battle Addict! This art has been gathering dust for a few months 😭 only just remembered to post it here.

These sketches are from Ver. 3 of Battle Addict, aka Battle Addict Twins, where both of them get the HCCM diagnosis.

The base idea for Battle Addict is that while most people enjoy Pokémon battling, there comes a certain point where one's love/obsession for battle starts bleeding into the rest of their life and becoming detrimental to their everyday life. This is usually called Combative Mania (CM), which is present in a large part of the population (40%-60%) hence why battling is so popular and so many different forms of it are made to keep people satisfied. The extreme form is Hyper-Competitive Combative Mania (HCCM), wherein a person spends so much time and energy for battles that it starts to affect their physical/mental health as well as their social life, since they neglect them in favour of their obsession.

Often what divides CM patients from HCCM patients is what they're willing to give up for battling and the extent of their knowledge regarding battles. CM patients usually only have a casual interest in battling or just enjoy the thrill of battling, but operate normally and have other interests outside of battle. They have basic to intermediate knowledge of battling, and can often partake in research or battles.

HCCM patients will often forgo food, water, sleep, school, work, and relationships in favour of researching and competing in battles. It is the only thing they find interest in and they devote most of their time towards it. Patients often memorize entire charts of statistics and different strategies and counterstrategies for battle, with different patients often having a certain subject they specialize in. Most patients with HCCM are unaware that they have it, they either assume that they have CM or that they are completely normal and just enjoy Pokémon battles. They often go into fields that work directly with researching Pokémon or battles, such as professors, scientists, gym leaders, elite four members, league workers, battle facility operators, and so on.

Ingo and Emmet do not know they have HCCM. They engage with battle and researching battle in a way that they think is typical for a hobbyist. Ingo tends to read on academic papers, textbooks, and study guides regarding the statistics and capabilities of Pokémon, whereas Emmet takes a more hands-on approach in studying Pokémon anatomy and battle strategy. Ingo often charts and studies natures, EVs, IVs, stat spreads, abilities, moves, and their properties. Emmet sketches anatomical diagrams and studies of Pokémon, including skeletal structure, musculature, organ systems, and physical appearance, highlighting pressure points in the body for executing the most damage and for keeping his own Pokémon protected. He also tends to read into psychological studies as well as conducting his own long term tests to predict a person's strategy in different situations. The two feed into each other's interests, teaching the other of their own discoveries and celebrating breakthroughs together. As a result, their total knowledge of battling is immense, which led to them becoming Subway Bosses straight out of college.

The two lived and worked fairly normally; they were very passionate about their work and it provided a way to sate their need for fighting on a regular basis, as well as giving them the space to experiment with different fighting styles and analyze others' strategies. Of course they still continue their studying outside of work, which often leads to them trying different methods or revisiting recorded battles to see how they could improve. The twins still believe their hours long discussions, piles of notes, and stacks of study materials littered around their house are perfectly fine, only stopping to reconsider after a comment from a coworker highlights how they must be crazy or incredibly disciplined to have as huge of a win : loss ratio as they do.

They end up taking the issue to a psychiatrist after dwelling on the idea for a few days, which is where they get diagnosed after a few tests and a description of their lifestyle and interests. Their case is considered moderate but could easily escalate into severe if left unchecked, though the main concern is whether this would make them a threat to other people due to their work and prominence. Obviously they don't want to lose their jobs, but this kind of thing could get them removed from the League Council if it got out, so they have to consider whether they share this information with their employers or not. Ingo thinks it'd be best to keep it under wraps, but Emmet fears that this could be used as blackmail and argues that they need to release this information themselves before someone else ruins their lives with it. Eventually they do take the diagnosis to the League Council and it gets out to the public.

Emmet takes the fall for Ingo, claiming his case is severe whereas Ingo's is mild so that the League Council will be more distracted with him to bother Ingo. That ends up with Emmet getting a new restraining uniform because the League no longer trusts him to handle himself in public based off his diagnosis. Neither of them are particularly pleased about this, but Emmet tells Ingo to look on the bright side. Emmet actually starts to find the jacket to be more of a little challenge than a hindrance, as it adds an extra level of difficulty to battles that he's been looking for, but Ingo still thinks it would be better if he hadn't had to wear it at all. This unfortunately extends to League parties where he has to be restrained to even be allowed entry, which he is much less happy about.

This post is getting ungodly long as it is but there's also a branch off of this concept where Ingo and Emmet land in Hisui together and Emmet's uniform looks like this. He deconstructed the uniform he was given to modify his jacket since by that point he had a bit of a sentimental connection to it and didn't want to just swap it out.

(Bonus fun fact: Ingo and Emmet decided to pull the biggest gag on the Pearl Clan when they first land by pretending to be one person under the alias Eki. Ingo is the polite one in the dark coat by day, and Emmet is the energetic one in the white coat by night. "Day Eki" is more popular with other Wardens and older clan members, whereas "Night Eki" is more popular with the village children and insomniacs.

The whole Warden Eki concept is technically its own AU in the background but it did originate from Battle Addict. Also I already drew Emmet in the Pearl Strait I can't take that back)

Anyways uhhh there's more let me see if I can condense it:

The twins went to a University specifically focused on battle (Champion's University), where they ended up studying subjects in their specific interests. Emmet took psychology of battle and Pokémon anatomy to learn about the weak points in trainers and Pokémon, and Ingo took general statistics and study of moves which are exactly what they sound like

The twins use the Vs Recorder all the time, both to track their own progress and to observe how passengers fight. It's often stuck to the glass windows to catch the Pokémon in the middle of the car, though they have considered buying Rotom Drones expressly for this purpose

Emmet actually has a stack of different studies on weak points in the human body but he doesn't share that with anyone, not even Ingo

Emmet's study of trainer psych has led to him often predicting tactics before they happen and dodging/countering them with his Pokémon. He often challenges himself to predict a person's team, moveset, and strategy based on appearance, gait, and body language, sharing his guesses with Ingo in case he makes any useful observations

Ingo and Emmet are possibly the first instance of causing "learned HCCM" in their Pokémon because after the training that they do together, the Pokémon have developed their own independent bloodlust and have started memorizing the move strategies that the twins have them use

Sometimes to celebrate fully completing a study on a particular set of Pokémon, the twins will eat one. This is mostly as a treat and an inside joke, but they will research what's in season/allowed and go hunt for one. Ingo is usually the one to catch it, and Emmet is the one to cook it. There's some really goofy shitposts about them going after pseudo-legendaries overseas, or Palkia's leg in Hisui

The twins can perform full medical care on any Pokémon and can often grind for hours nonstop since they can heal their teams themselves. They also save a lot on healing items this way

After releasing their diagnosis, the perception of the twins have gone in wildly different directions. Some people treat them as subhuman or as monsters, some people don't care, some people call them psycho yandere boys on twitter. Emmet tends to get more of the negative connotations, Ingo tends to get the more "positive" ones. Emmet also tends to get a lot of stares due to his restraint and status as a crazed fighter, which he pretends doesn't get to him

I think that's everything, I'm going to go collapse. Hope you guys enjoy 👍

Hey guuuuuys

As a heads up, I'm going to be converting this blog to be mostly my main/pokemon blog. I've been thinking about it for a while tbh and when it comes down to it, I've been feeling a huge disconnect from selfshipping as a whole for a while. It was nice and a great way for me to cope before I was able to get mental health care, but it's definitely more of a hobby now more than anything. Don't get me wrong, I still love my funky little gals and guys and it's fun to think about them in different scenarios! I'm still going to always lose my shit over Piers! But honestly? All of my "inserts" have basically come into their own, if that makes sense. They are not me. They may share a name with me sometimes but that's definitely an OC, that and I'm too lazy to rename the various Mandas and Jeannes across franchises cause that shit is a lot of work. And besides, literally everyone who has made a character has put some of themself into it and I know that I'm not wrong--

Now, what does this mean for me/the blog?

I'm still gonna post how I feel like posting. Things are going to be a lot less selfship focused. If anything, I'm leaning more on the side of oc x canon and oc x oc cause that's where I'm finding more enjoyment. No more fancy carrd with f/os and all that happy stuff, it's just going to be an about. No long ass dni honestly who the hell even takes the time to read them anymore (I mean, I do, but not the point I'm trying to make here). Granted my dni was never long in the first place but kgjwjdjejejjfayhs still. I'm still deciding if I'm going to go through the blogs I follow and trim things up. If I unfollow you, by no means is it anything against you and there are no hard feelings on my end. And if you'd like to unfollow me due to my focus shift, I encourage that.

Honestly over all, I haven't had a lot of energy to be publicly online in a while, anyway. It's what happens when you work full time, go to school part time, and have some mental disorders and a chronic illness that's been fucking you over since you were 2. The burnout is real lmao. I'd rather enjoy myself when I'm on tumblr than be all bleh, ya know?

I mean this when I say I did enjoy my time when I was selfship focused, but I think that part of my life is... Not quite behind me, but not a major part of my future anymore. In some aspects, it made my mental health worse, if I'm being honest, and I should have never let it get to that point. Granted that was before I was able to get diagnosed and start my mental health journey, but still. Should have stopped as soon as I felt myself not doing okay. I'm not going to dumb down or sugar coat myself anymore (granted I haven't been for a while but eh is what it is). I'm probably going to be leaving most servers I've been a part of and clean up my discord as well.

I'll still post self ship stuff here occasionally cause I mean, c'mon it's my blog I can do whatever the hell I want with it forever.

But I do think it's time to finally start finishing up this chapter. I'll forever and always be Amanda Pierswife though, you can pry this url from my cold, dead hands <3

[your-queer-dad]

Hi Dad Realised that I don't have a support network anymore. I have one friend with whom we talk every day, but all the others are just vaguely present on the periphery. Some are in very stressful situations some just maybe don't care enough anymore. I have been having a bad time of it recently. A horrible time actually. In addition to my 5+ mental illnesses and 2(?) neurodivergences that are there in the background, I'm constantly overwhelmed. By sensory things but also by life and by there not being any single moment where I could be comfortable. It is awful every single day. Even on the days I consider good at least 3-4 hours are spent in the brain hole or in physical pain (cause guess what ofc I also have physical conditions). I feel if I were to do a blog about all the shit that is going on I would be bullied off of Tumblr for fakeclaming (which is a bulshit thing anyways but I digress) because I collect issues like they are pokemon. Heh. Never been into pokemon. Maybe if I were I would be better at this? - Sylvia

Hey kiddo, I'm so so sorry that sounds like a lot of things to deal with all at once and it sounds really stressful and overwhelming for you. If you ever need to talk I'm here for you. 🫂🫂

[gotta-pet-em-all]

....it's time for me to go home.

I miss my pokemon. I'll admit this was a stupid and selfish and terrible idea, spurred on by mental illness. But...

I dunno. I met some pretty cool people. I came her to figure out what her life was like, what went wrong with mine, but everyone... cared about me. Not jsut as a mistake version of her. Not damaged goods, not some role. Me.

Kinda scares the shit out of me. Kindness. But I've been scared for way too long. I'm going to do things I like and do them scared because I can't live like I'm stuck in a coffin anymore.

I've done everything I need to do here. Spoken to all the people I need to speak to. So... thank you guys. For showing me love and kindness and all the shit I forgot could still exist.

Anyways. I've had enough feelings for today, so I'm just going to drop this shit and run. Might see a couple of you again in the faller server, who knows.

Sayonara, nerds. <3

Life Updates, AuDHD, and A Mental Trainwreck

Content Warnings: Mental illness, current events, betrayal trauma, abuse, & family death.

It's time I talked about how things have been for me lately. I'm tired of hyping up all these things/projects I can't commit to, it feels like I'm making promises I can't fulfill. I get too ambitious, I get too many ideas, and even the ones I manage to see through, I just do not enjoy the writing portion.

About a year ago, my focus drifted away from Castletown Cafe. Many of you here may know what that's like to lose interest/hyperfixation on one thing and get fixated on something else, that's natural for us with autism and ADHD. We get an intense hyperfocus on a topic or project for a while only to shift to the next topic, losing interest or forgetting about the previous. I got really fixated on Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Splatoon 3, and ACNH this past year, as well as making my own unrelated cooking projects revolving around seasonal ingredients. This fall, I got crazy ambitious for an entire fall-themed cookbook and even a Halloween one, things that obviously will take years of practice and experimentation (and need year-round work).

On top of that, however, I have not been feeling as well mentally this year. I've had less motivation to draw, and felt a stronger dislike of writing. If you have ADHD you know how hard it is to get yourself to do something you don't want to do. It's like pulling teeth. I've always had issues with executive dysfunction, and I wonder how much of it I've succumbed to this year. And while I've never been diagnosed with clinical depression, I'm wondering/concerned if I am showing signs of it like I might have been this year with my lack of motivation, my focus and drive getting worse, loss of enjoyment of things I ordinarily enjoy doing, such as drawing, feeling sad more often, and either sleeping too much or too little.

Granted the events of this fall haven't helped. We all know what's going on in the world right now. It's horrifying, it's depressing, and it's easy to feel helpless, but we all have the power to protest, to boycott, and to use social media to amplify voices of the marginalized. I have been very active on Twitter with this, but it has also been hard to enjoy my favorite times of year, the fall and Halloween, when tens of thousands are being massacred. It's no wonder I have been so depressed this fall, knowing the country we live in is siding with the colonizers and is actively funding genocide. Our tax dollars are being used to fund this and many, if not most, American brands and companies are also in favor of it.

Then, in November, I discover that an 80s band I liked is guilty of VERY inappropriate behavior toward women. One I had been listening to for the past few years. Fronted by a guy whose music I had enjoyed since childhood. I shouldn't have been so surprised, but it still broke me anyway. Another betrayal was a YouTuber who turned out to be an imposter with no thoughts or opinions of his own, only stolen from others. Yet another was a confirmation of suspicions I had toward a certain animator having NPD and being abusive, (who, to be honest, I never actually liked, just her art style and cartoons).

Oh, but that's not all! Here's where it gets really personal, but I think I really need to disclose this. On top of everything going on, I had two deaths in the family recently. One was a parent whom I didn't get along with very well, the other was my old pup Oscar. My old doggo has been easier to grieve, because he was a sweet, good boy....and honestly....he deserved a better end to his life than what he got. He was living with my father, keeping him company. My father was the parent I had a bad relationship with, and is the reason I advocate strongly for responsible and careful drinking. Because he failed to do that. He always used alcohol for self-medication, something you should NEVER do. His substance abuse got worse and worse over the years, driving him meaner and more abusive. He was never really kind to me, even if he tried to be. I never had a good relationship with my father, and honestly I know a lot of people can relate to that with one or both of their parents. A lot of us have betrayal trauma from growing up, maybe you have parents who don't love you unconditionally, or parents who never wanted to be parents, emotionally or physically abusive parents, you get the idea. Mine just so happened to be a man born and raised in a time where there was no diagnosis for his neurodivergence. He had tons of internalized ableism that he pushed onto me, and modelled horrible, angry behavior. He also had depression, but never sought help, and I believe that's due to toxic masculinity.

He can't hurt me anymore, though. I moved out of his house almost 5 years ago, and I wish it had been sooner. I'm not sure how to feel about his passing, because of how he treated me when he was alive. One thing I have been feeling though, is stress. He has left behind a house that is a disaster because he neglected to take care of it, tons of debt because he had failed to pay his bills, and no will whatsoever so inheritance is also going to be a mess to untangle. My family and I have been going back to that house to clean it, get it repaired, and figure out what to do with everything left behind. Right in the middle of a holiday season. What fun /sarcasm.

On the topic of Oscar, it's safe to say how he passed/what happened. My father went first, and so Oscar just curled up next to him.....and stayed there until he also died. And honestly....that's just heartbreaking.....I wish Oscar could've howled for help, that someone could have heard him and come to his rescue and taken care of him....but he didn't....I just wish i could have been by Oscar's side in his final moments. I know he was an old dog, he lived to be 15 and a half...but he's with my grandma now and I hope she's taking good care of him, wherever they are.

Meanwhile, Penny has been a new family member since July. She has been by my side to give hugs and cuddles, and I've needed them a lot these past few weeks. Since Oscar stayed behind to keep my father company when I moved out a few years ago, I missed my puppy, and having a little doggo around. And so, enter Penny. She's even registered as an emotional support animal, or ESA, and she goes all kinds of places with me. I love the attention she gets from other people when we go shopping together. Her cuteness lightens up a room and makes the day of many people.

My little fluffy girl has been a big help getting me through everything this season.

Back to Castletown Cafe, it may take a while, but I hope one day to return to it. I have all kinds of ideas and things I want to make and practice, and I also hope to create more content in 2024, even doing more live gaming on Twitch. I got a new computer for streaming, but I still need a monitor for it. I wanna have a streaming schedule and everything.

I really appreciate all of you who are still here even though I haven't been able to make many new things or deliver upon hyped ideas. I feel bad about my lack of content this year, though with recent life events I think it's really understandable as to why I haven't been able to churn out much in that regard.

One more thing: I do want to disclose that my ADHD is unmedicated. I can't get medication for it (not with this hell-thcare system) and I don't know what I should take for executive dysfunction. For those of you who made it this far with ADHD, what do you recommend?

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this, especially if you made it all the way to the end here. I know it was a lot, and some of this is REALLY heavy stuff. These are things that we all do go through, however.

Thank you.

Charcherry Weekly - Issue 171

Hello Everyone, this is your Page of Mind, Samm. Unfortunately the two siblings usually in charge of running the newsletter are out with a cold this week. So, I've stepped in to help out so that they can both get some well deserved rest. Now, as you might imagine, I lack the same abilities a these two that would make it easier to oversee how everything has gone since last time, but I will do my best!

Birthdays and recent holidays

First, as was mentioned in last week's article, this month has been jam packed with birthdays!

The birthdays of Hazel, Katyleen, Blaze, HAZEL and HAZEL have passed just as Nick said, but I didn't attend or leave presents because I was, and still am, uncertain what they might like. I don't know them as well as I might wish to, but I'm making a mental note to change that given half the chance. Maybe some movie night or something?

Oh, and I missed my Halloween visit to Thanatos too...dang it. Add that to the list.

As well, the birthdays of the Emit Siblings have come and passed. For these ones too, I was late on, but at least they have been sent out. Rise and Brae both receive accessories that I hope they like, as I know they like oranges, Flux got a knife I thought suited her, and then I paid Thoren a visit. Given how busy and stressed they must be lately, I decided they might appreciate a visit more than any material thing I could think to give them. I might have bumbled that up by accidently letting slip about an illness of mine (more on that later!) but they seemed to appreciate the visit anyways.

Still to come is the birthday of Nick and Aeons. I don't know if anyone has anything planned for November 16, but a little something might be nice. I haven't heard from either of them in a while. Maybe I'll drop by and...drag them to that movie night? Who knows!

editor's note: I have no idea when movie night will be a thing again. It largely depends upon the setup in the lab's living room working in the presence of more than one godtier individual. Not sure why it's particularly sensitive to aspect interference like that. I appreciate the sentiment though.

My plans for Grass 3 are on hold and have been for a little bit now. As you can see, there's a lot for a momma to be doing lately that more important than her hobby project. But you know what isnt on hold? Dastardly plans, of course.

Antechamber Antics

Earlier this week, Korosian President Thoren Emit, Unity Mayor Brae Emit, your back up newsletter writer Page of Mind Samm, and a few others received a distress signal. The request was sent by Thoren's wife, Raine, who had gone off on a journey before and not been keeping up communications. I've been worried more than once during that time, but I also hadn't wanted to hear that she was captured and chained up to a dungeon core!

Thankfully, she was able to hang on for a few days as the Dungeon Crashers located and planned for a crashing of the dungeon. Thoren drove as we approached a fire pokemon gym in some region named Distan.

Also joining the initial group included Rogue of Heart Charles, Maid of Void Skitis, Bounty hunter Samus, and Page of Rage Jovin.

Finding our way in wasn't all that hard, and we met with a cute little charcadet, who we fixed right up with a potion, after charles got a little case of the butter fingers.

And soon enough, we were face to face, and pokemon to pokemon with a Team Abyssal member, that we defeated quite handily, despite the intense heat and some of us needing a little coaching. I'm glad to say I might also be starting to get a hang of pokemon battling. I can only hope.

Anyways, after defeating our opponent, we apprehended them, and in lieu of a given name, dubbed them Squidward. I admit I got a little angry with Squidward for their role in harming my family, but I managed to limit my rage to a few slaps (mostly!)

After Squidward's defeat, we went on to face our next challenge, the mysterious puzzle of... three unknown hallways. After some coaxing, Squidward let us know there was a graveller down one way that would explode, but that all of them would actually lead us to the same spot. So we carefully went down one way, met the graveller, talked our way through, and continued onward to rescue raine and, we presumed, the gym leader as well. I also spoke to the graveller and recruited them while the team faced the next challenge...

Somehow Chandelure and the many litwick were down there too, and chandelure was turned into a shadow pokemon!

Some of us moved to subdue the angry pokemon, while some of us struggled with the idea of attacking friends.

But either way, something went wrong, and the ceiling above us became unstable. Jovin was knocked unconscious, and squidward, chandelure, and litwick were all buried. With a little time, we all got our wits about us, found Raine's location, and dug straight there.

It was a simple thing to release Raine and the other chained trainers, though now that everyone was safe, my guard was down. Then Raine was told about Chandelure and well...let us say that I could feel strong waves of rage, and that made my illness act up.

I shall not go into details here, but everyone present was able to witness the effects of the strange illness that I have been trying to keep from everyone, and I ended up worrying a few folks, likely by the strange change in my appearance and demeanor. And I may have threatened Squidward with death and possible torture a couple times. Sorry everyone. And a thank you to Brae, who stayed back to make sure I, and everyone who hadn't immediately left, was fine and sent off to safety.

The dungeon core was transported to a desert on Korous, and recently was safely destroyed by a bomb squad, at Thoren's command.

Squidward, chandelure and litwick all ended up fine, if anyone was worried, though last I checked, chandelure was still in Shadow mode.

As of today, we're all safe and recovering. Some of us have gotten checked by a doctor, and some of us have come down with a cold. Thoren is looking into setting up transportation to and from Antechamber of the Distan region to further relations in all social aspects, and in trading commerce, while Brae has offered assistance and a contact number from Unity Village to the Antechamber gym leader, as a gesture of support and solidarity.

All in all, a fine, almost mundane, wrap up to the week.

- Signing Off, Page of Mind, Samm

Editor's note: I'd like to thank you again for writing this last night so I could focus on recovering. As you might know from the very late timestamps on most newsletters, it tends to take me a long time to write these. It's hard work to get myself focused, and I didn't want to impede my health with that struggle. If you ever need anything in the future, let me know, because I definitely owe you a solid.

[unassumingtherizinosaur]

Awww thank you for the tag!! I'm honored! /gen :D

Hmm....

• Dino phase that's not really a phase because it never phased out lol. Probably brought on thanks to me watching tons of dinosaur documentaries as a little kid. Had a bunch on DVD and would watch them religiously. Some of my favorites were Walking With Dinosaurs (1999) and Dinosaur Planet (2003), as well as DinoSapein which was more fantasy than fact. Wanted to be a paleontologist when I was young. And though I've moved on from that dream after coming to terms with the fact that spending countless hours in places like the deserts of Montana digging up bones isn't really for me, I've never let go of my love of dinosaurs.

• Superhero phase thanks to Wordgirl, of all things. I still love superheroes to this day all thanks to that show

• Science phase and general love of learning thanks to The Magic School Bus. I still love Miss Frizzle and the Bus and Liz sm

• Dragons!!! Not really sure what started this interest but it was definitely strengthened by Dragon Story (the game), How to Train Your Dragon, and Wings of Fire

• Oh, and of course Warrior cats. Huge art and writing influence. Tigerstar's death traumatized me as a kid lol

• Like Virtualmic, I also had a old timey cartoon phase thanks to BATIM and Cuphead. The Bendy games are still some of my favorites of all time. The artist vision in those games was REAL <3 As an artist, BATIM and BATDR make me extremely happy

• MLP FiM phase. That show blew my mind as a kid, and still does upon rewatches. I now realize it influenced my art style a lot too, specifically with how the show would convey a lot of emotion via the eyes of the characters.

• I gained a love of mysteries, horror, and the supernatural which can probably be traced back to Scooby-Doo.

• Exploration and general love of learning what's out there. Almost certainly thanks to Atlantis: The Lost Empire. That movie rewired child me's brain chemistry lol. Journey to the Center of the Earth played a part in that, too

• FNAF phase. Actually one of the more recent ones, I only got into the games because of Security Breach. I absolutely adore the way that game looks and just.. everything about it visually

• BFDI + its variations, thanks to a friend trying to get me and my sis into it. I understood zero of what was going on the first time she tried to show me and wasn't really invested. But when my sister randomly decided to get into it, I did too. Mostly so I could have something else to talk about with them. Anyway beware the pipeline. I'm mentally ill about this show now /silly, aff

• SPACE. Oh, massive space phase. Never really ended. The concept of everything that's out there in the vast universe completely got to me. When I was younger I found out how big the star Betelgeuse is compared to our Sun and I haven't been the same since. Somewhere along the lines, a love of aliens and speculative life on other worlds got involved. Fueled by Star Trek and to a lesser extent, Star Wars.

• Pokemon, oh man. Started thanks to a friend watching the Pokemon Heroes movie with me on his DVD player. I saw Latias and Latios for the first time and it was all downhill from there. The cards are extremely nostalgic. They were like an art collection for me.

• World War II and its aftereffects on human society and civilization. Not sure how this one got started, but it eventually accumulated with me now having a lifelong fascination with history and other countries.

Annnddd yeah, I think that's all of the top of my head. Thanks again for the tag!! This was fun!! :D

Hmm let moi see... @wiingdings @hecklefreckled @purpeltomato @tordskiidoesart

And don't feel pressed to do this or anything folks, this is just for fun 😸

New tagging game I wanna start

My love phases in my life because of my favorite childhood tv shows/other reasons:

• Dino loving phase because of Dino Dan (I still love dinosaurs. T-Rex’s and raptors are my favorites)

• Apple loving phase because of Applejack from MLP

• Animal loving phase because of Wild Kratts (I still love both of them)

• A spy loving phase because of Kim Possible

• Science loving phase (I don’t know the reason. Maybe because of Twilight Sparkle)

• Magic loving phase (And I still do)

• Ninja loving phase because of TMNT 2012/LEGO Ninjago

• Barbie loving phase (just anything Barbie)

• Vampire loving phase because of Mavis

[alternis-dim]

I ended up terminating my nuzlocke run because while grinding one of my pokemon got sniped by bad rng and I was frustrated enough after having spent an hour grinding that I ignored the death and proceeded to use them for Whitney’s gym

but then I just started feeling super guilty so I wiped my save data 

I was 20 hours in... the idea of having to get to where I was again is just demoralizing so I don’t know if I’m going to

[prof-peach]

Hi Professor, have you had any experience with Pokémon like eggsecute or falinks that are multiple “bodies” within a single “unit”? Specifically, if they have issue within the group are they stuck with each other, or can they separate or be transplanted? If they can, is there a minimum or maximum viable size for a single group? For example, eggsecute and falinks are traditionally depicted in groups of 6, but can there be a group or 5 or 7? 3 or 8? Can a single body survive on its own?

Ok lets get into it. Exeggcute is something we handle a lot, grass type and all, totally use to them, and they have a weirdly specific set of needs when it comes to groups. Isolated, an Exeggcute is vulnerable. Predators like Spearow and Crabrawler will want to snack on them in the wild, and alone, in a good 80% of cases, a single Exeggcute will not be strong enough to fend off a predator. Their survival rate drops exponentially. When they're alone they often feel nervous, skittish, afraid, because they've got genes older than a lot of species we know today, telling them they have safety in numbers. This is not to say that individuals can and do go out alone, and survive! The evolution line is one of two who de-evolve, which can lead to very advanced, very powerful individual Exeggcute. An Exeggutor can take a hit, loosening one of its heads. That head will turn back to an Execcute. They cannot be reattached like a slowpoke and its shelder. They technically are the same pokemon, but they are also not? Very annoying classification when handling them, they retain the same ID, nightmare on paperwork. that fallen Exeggutor head, that is now an Exeggcute, will be alone, but it will be stronger than average. A group of Exeggcute may lose an individual to predators, and take in the stray. They will know that the stray will be more experienced, and powerful, and will give them an edge when trying to survive in the wild. Groups of as many as 14 have been documented, but their ability to communicate breaks down at such a large quantity. They communicate telepathically so it gets loud for them, and their methods become scattered and wild in nature, outputting more power than needed for foes, leading to disruption in their family unit. Some Exeggcute can get hurt in the process if they all attack at the same time. Then of course theres groups where they do not get along, and cast one member out. A functional exeggcute troop will notice if one is lacking in power or intelligence, and so if a more appropriate member comes along, they can either adopt them in to make up the deficits, OR, more likely, cast out the weakest member, and take in the stranger who would provide more power and competence. These ex-exeggutors are sought after, as any smart execcute will know they come with more experience, and this will increase their groups survival chances. if left alone, they lack the social network to be confident and happy, and soon fall into a lonely state. The mental toll on them is often enough to stress them out so much, they fall ill after a few months alone, and perish if they cant find a family to join. They literally stress themselevs out so much about being alone, they kick the bucket. a strong 5 will be fine, but id not advise more than about 10 in a group, it really gets chaotic if they're all competent pokemon. 14 is only really fine with particularly weak or docile individuals, or those who live a protected life away from natural predators. Chances are finding 14 that'll get along well enough would be hard anyway, and is not easy to achieve. I wouldn't be able to say as much about Falinks, they're not native to our area, nor have we had much experience with them. I have seen one alone once, and it wasn't too happy about it, I can only assume like exeggcute, there have complex social structures within their dynamics, and they'd be willing to work with more numbers, or less if need be to survive.
