SILPH CO ARE BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKERS

THEY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEIR PRODUCTS ARE SO FUCKIN SPECIAL WITH ALL THE "SECRET TECH" THAT GOES INTO THEIR POKE BALLS

Y'KNOW WHAT I JUST DID

I JUST FUCKIN MADE TWO BRAND NEW BALL TYPES OUT OF THE

R E A D I L Y A V A I L A B L E

PARTS THAT THEY USE FOR THEM, ALONG WITH DUMPING THE DATA OF THE BALLS I USED

Silph are annoying for other reasons (cough cough unethical Porygon experimentation), but BRO

This shit is ELEMENTARY (relatively speaking)

But yeah

New Ball types!!!

Introducing, the Spell Ball and Engine Ball!

The Spell Ball is made using a mix of Heal and Dusk Ball parts, along with a tiny bit of Level Ball fuckery. This Ball is specially purposed to house Dragon and Fairy Types, making them easier to catch in a battle!

The Engine Ball is similarly made, instead using Quick and Timer Ball parts to be effective for Electric and Steel types!

Arc, though, this was insanely easy to develop?? Why the hell don't people experiment more with this stuff??

dyeing some yarn!

[oingomyboingos]

okay lesson learned I need much more practice with crochet OR to work in a less bulky yarn if i’m making slippers or socks or something else that requires matching pairs because the MATCHING part is driving me insane. i’ve redone these damn things four times. and restarted one from scratch

[nyadversary]

crocheted a thing

[starlightshadowsworld]

Cackling.

hmmm…pretty sure one of these is not quite like the others

[theoldaeroplane]

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

I remember this old song and dance.

Animation is under attack! My union, the Animation Guild, is in the middle of negotiations with the AMPTP to gain a new contract for animation. We’re fighting against being exploited, against AI taking jobs, and the future of this industry!

Please please be loud in your support of animation and its workers by using the #StandWithAnimation and stay informed HERE HERE AND HERE

En såndär bockjävel eller vad fan det heter

Note: I moved this under a read more since donations can no longer be made here. Feel free to make some to a charity of your choice though!

Did you know it used to be the Christmas goat that brought you your presents in Sweden?

To keep the spirit alive, you can officially make a donation in the name of this little crochet goat to support everyone's right to survive their pregnancy! Just go to this link and follow these steps:

Please note that this collection only remains active until 15 Dec 2024! More information about the organisers can be found at the bottom of this post.

On the right hand side/top of the linked page, you can see the current sum of donations. Below that are some options we need to fill out to make a donation of our own.

First we need to disclose whether the donation is being made by a private individual (Privatperson) or a business (Företag). I'm assuming you're a private individual, so leave the first option selected (on the left).

Next we choose the method of payment. "Swish" is a Swedish payment service that won't work for foreigners, and if you're Swedish I'm assuming you already know how it works. Foreigners, please choose the second option to pay by card (Kort).

Now for the fun bit! How much do you want to donate? The standard options are presented in Swedish krona (kr). I have put the rough exchange rates to US dollars for each option below:

50 kr ≈ $4.56 | 100 kr ≈ $9.13 | 300 kr ≈ $27.38

You can convert from your currency to Swedish krona using this tool. Just choose your own currency in the first drop-down menu ("from").

In the final field you have the option to instead enter your own amount, if you want to give less or more or in between any of the previous options. Note that the amount you enter is in Swedish krona, so look up the exchange rates so that you know how much you are giving if you choose this option!!

The final two check boxes are options that relate to the public display of your donation (see the bottom of the page). If you don't check either option, your donation amount will be visible but your name will not be.

Check the first box if you want your name to show up in the public list of donations, leave it unchecked to remain anonymous. Check the second box if you want to hide the amount you've donated, leave it unchecked to show the world your donation amount.

Finally, hit the red button to be taken to the payment page. Fulfil the payment, and be sure to double check the amount you're donating. Note that we use commas instead of dots to separate decimals in Swedish, so 50,00 kr means simply 50 kr.

And that's it! Thank you so much for your donation!! 🥳🐐

Please reblog this post so that more people will hopefully donate, or at least get to enjoy a tiny Gävlebock!

What is this charity thing?

Musikhjälpen is an annual charity event organised by the Swedish public broadcasters. Every year in December, 3 hosts are locked in a glass cage for a week and they broadcast in shifts, nonstop for 144 hours (6 days, 24 hours per day) to create an occasion for charity donations. They are visited by various music artist, celebrities, and talk to people who have special knowledge about the donation theme of the year or who organise initiatives for donations. You can watch clips of previous performances on their youtube channel here.

The event's official donations website also allows the public to set up their own "initiatives", to which donations can be made. This is what I have done! The money goes directly to the event organisers (the public broadcasters' aid agency, Radiohjälpen), who then pool all the money that is collected during the week. After the week is done they will begin portioning it out to trusted charities that are relevant to this year's theme. This year's theme is Alla har rätt att överleva sin graviditet, or in English: Everyone Has a Right to Survive Their Pregnancy.

Learn more about musikhjälpen on English Wikipedia or on Sveriges radio's website (in Swedish).

Or

If you prefer, the goat will be just as happy if you make a donation to a charity of your choice. You'll have to find links to other causes on your own though! 😊

I should probably also mention that I am in no way officially affiliated with Gävlebocken, I just crocheted a little guy and thought it would be nice to spread some constructive spirit among all the calls for arson. 😇

Leetle pom brooch i made for @padawan-crevette :>

[neon-in-the-night-time]

fuck trying to find a needle in a haystack i’m trying to find a needle in my fucking bed. it's what i get for trying to embroider while in my bed... i’ve been doing it for years no problem. just my luck i’ll find the needle when i go to sleep tonight

[friendball-irl]

Would you happen to know how masterballs work? Like how do they have a guarantee and why isn’t it used for more pokeballs?

Oh, absolutely not. Those things are a tightly-kept secret, and I honestly DON'T want to know how they're made considering how fucking unethical the mere concept of them are when not used in emergency situations or under very specific circumstances.

I say to just leave them to chosens and champions, and don't let anyone have them that shouldn't.
