i have a few things up for sale on my ko-fi shop here (link) !

[ID: photos of different merch compiled into one image with text, squiggles, and hearts drawn over them. all text is white with a pink border. in the top left is a Dragonite drawn as a Care Bear cousin on a light blue background. its belly badge is heart-shaped with an ocean wave, and it is smiling while holding one hand up to its face. the top left shows keychains of the Lupinrangers in fruit-themed outfits, displayed in a bowl of strawberries, blueberries, and lemons, set on top of a checkered red and white fabric. text between these two images reads "keychains" with arrows pointing at them. the bottom image is of a circular pillow with a chibi drawing of Ankh from Kamen Rider OOO, sitting and eating a popsicle, and backed by a taka core medal. the pillow is set on a couch among other pillows. text on top of it reads "pillowcase!!" in the middle of all the photos is larger text that says (in all caps) "shop open," and the bottom right has the shop link written out as "ko-fi.com/aycief/shop" /END ID]

Did that fav pkmn thing on a whim and I'm sorry for all my babies I didn't choose bc I really like too many by some.

Love how it's mostly pretty ones and then there's clodsire. Even tho I got it in my team since the beginning of violet do I continuously forget its name bc I just call it by the nickname blobby (one of the rare times I didn't spend hours googling the perfect nickname but it nonetheless is a perfect one)

And for fun without any legendaries as fav

Reg nicknames I even write all down so I only spend decades once for each pkmn (unless I don't like the prev one anymore). Need to update that someday since it's mostly old revolution ones but hey. Blaze do I use for arcanine nowadays more and ninetails got others. Gardevoir got soteria nowadays which I prefer more. Etc.

@drgnbld​ asked:

dragonite uses his mouth to pick marc up by the collar of his shirt. friend? friend. no he's not letting go. ( this is just lance's normal dragonite :/ )

unprompted asks. // always accepting.

there is a brief moment of panic where marcellus does not know what has him -- where he starts swinging his arms and legs violently -- and then he is able to determine that it is a dragonite. lance’s dragonite. he stops swinging, but still wants down.

❝ hey, you’re really cool and everything, but couldja let me go ?? this is uncomfortable for me -- ❞

At the beginning of the year I tried to draw every singe pseudo-legendary pokémon - from memory.

Here are the results: ranking from pretty accurate (Dragonite, Garchomp) to the wrong pokémon (Gen V should have been Hydreigon).

Pokemon Card of the Day #3192: Dragonite (Team Up)

Dragonite was one of those Pokemon with an obvious purpose. It was there to get a Supporter from the deck to your hand each turn. It wasn't doing any more than that, as it wasn't a very efficient attacker, and there was soon big competition for the Supporter fetching role. Getting the right Supporter each turn could be game changing if you found a way to get this into play without too much trouble, so it was still hard not to consider this as an interesting Pokemon.

160 HP was what you'd probably expect from a Stage 2. It wasn't just going to be a free KO except against the strongest attackers, though if playing with Guzma or Boss's Orders it made for an obvious target sometimes. This was especially true for something like Reshiram & Charizard-GX or Zacian V which had the huge attack available. The Fairy Weakness mattered mostly against Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX, though that card was generally at its peak when the most common option for this was Custom Catcher. The Retreat Cost here was 3, meaning you really didn't want this to be Active at any point even if it wasn't going to be taken down right away.

Fast Call was an impressive Ability. It let you search your deck for a Supporter card and put it into your hand once per turn. This was held back by being on a Stage 2 that completely lacked a good counterpart in the same evolution line. The typical way to use this was to get it out after a KO by using Lance Prism Star, skipping that whole process and saving space by trading it for only working in very specific scenarios. This was, however, sometimes worth it, as it was hard for someone to deal with a deck that always had the right Supporter.

Dragon Claw did 120 damage, but the cost was a Water, a Lightning, and a Colorless Energy. You probably did not want to use this over one of the better attackers around, and said attackers were numerous.

Dragonite got a bit of use for the Supporter fetching Ability, and it really could help make games smoother if you could get your Lance Prism Star in relatively early. It had extreme competition with Mewtwo once that was released in Unbroken Bonds. Yes, Mewtwo only worked one time total, but it was also a Basic Pokemon and was therefore far easier to use. Dragonite was there for those who really needed to have the right Supporter on specific turns quite often. The number of decks that were that desperate were pretty low, but high enough to make this card somewhat notable.

after playing Regulation H for a while on Showdown I think it’s insanely funny that Bloodmoon Ursaluna and Dragonite were chosen as the cover mons for the format in S/V

Ursaluna benefits a lot from Rapid Strike Urshifu being banned in this format and it’s been on most of the teams i’ve fought so far, it’s also one of the pokemon I’ve seen discussed the most on vgc twitter since the format was first announced and everyone seemed to expect it’d do well from the beginning

Dragonite meanwhile suffers from the new rules banning one of its best teammates, Chien-Pao, meaning it loses the extra damage it got from Sword of Ruin and this combo was probably its most used set. I already figured this would tank its usage a bit but I have not seen a single Dragonite yet

they essentially chose to represent this format with a lesser used pokemon that had its viability improve from the new rules and a prominent pokemon that fell off because of them and I think that’s hilarious

Looking into bookends and I’m torn between getting pretty, yet mature ones (because I’m 30-something and some part of me wants my living space to reflect that) versus the fucking Flygon v Dragonite ones on the Pokemoncenter site.

Like come on!

I finished the dragonite watercolor painting. Dragonite getting apples for the dragonair and dratini. I plan on scanning and adjusting the background color saturation for printing it later, but it should make v cute 6x4
