#elle is my ivysaur

[slayin-shaymin]

This morning when I brought Elle in to work Professor Pine was practically vibrating with excitement. Gosh, he looked so… excited. That’s all.

[slayin-shaymin]

Today while he was looking at Elle, Pine got so excited that he hugged me.

Aight, my dash is fucking dismal, everybody share something genuinely nice that they've had happen to them or thought about recently.

I'll start!

I recently caught Milly dressing up Wake in different accessories while he sat stock still, clearly enjoying himself.

[slayin-shaymin]

Y’know. The fire on Elle’s back actually feels really nice.

Like a warm hug.

[slayin-shaymin]

When I tell you that Professor Pine fell out of his chair when I showed him Elle, know that it’s an understatement if anything.

[slayin-shaymin]

Me: Elle, what are you eating?

Elle: *chewing faster*

[slayin-shaymin]

It’s like a controlled explosion that is supposed to look/sound cool interesting or pretty. Personally, I’m not a huge fan (they scare the crap out of Elle) and I think they’re pretty dangerous, but a lot of people use them to celebrate stuff.

It’s probably what you’re hearing.

Why is it so loud outside? It sounds like a lot of Explosions going off...

[slayin-shaymin]

If I fall asleep with my arm dangling off the bed I wake up with it in Elle’s mouth. Every time. Without fail.

If my boss says I can’t have Elle with me at my desk I’m putting in my two weeks.

[slayin-shaymin]

Okay! Intro post. I’ve been trying to sell my pushes for a while and one of my friends said I should give Tumblr a shot, so here goes.

My name’s Lilac, 19. He/they pronouns. Santalune City, Kalos. I keep grass types, sell stuffed animals, and pull shifts at the local research center to pay the bills. (Nothing special, it’s a secretarial position.) If you want to buy anything handmade, my DMs are open. My Etsy keeps getting shut down for some reason.

As for my Pokémon, I’ll probably mention them a bit, so here’s a list that I’ll update as needed.

Harry is my Servine. I’ve had him since I was really little, and he evolved about a year ago. I still forget he’s not a Snivy anymore sometimes.

Elle is my ivysaur. My parents got her for me as my starter when I was 11, even though I told them I didn’t want to grow up to be a Pokémon master or whatever-the-fuck it’s called. She’s great though.

My ex (may he die in turmoil) got me a Roselia as a “romantic” gift we could raise together. Personally I think not cheating on me would have been more romantic, but whatever. His name is Spud (My ex’s idea, not mine) and I kept him in the breakup because I was the only one caring for him anyway.

The last tenant of my apartment left their three Cherrim here, so I’ve got those too now. They don’t respond to anything so I just refer to them as “the cherrim.”

And finally there’s a shaymin in the woods near my house. It’s not really mine, but sometimes when I’m sitting out there sewing or crocheting it will come up and watch me. It always curls up in a ball when I look at it, but I’ve started bringing out treats for the guy when I’m out there.

Update: 7.2.2023

There is a Mimikyu in my apartment. I was hand sewing a plush Mimikyu in Lavender Town when my project got stolen. About a month later it (the project) was on my doorstep with what I assume is a Mimikyu inside. It hangs out in the corner of my vision, and I don’t think I really get to name it but I’ve been calling it Mimi for short.

My trainer friend caught an Eevee that she says doesn’t like battling, and she gave them to me because “it can be a grass type” and I like those. Their name is Gremlin.

[slayin-shaymin]

Good news: It’s still my Elle. (She tried to eat the furniture). The flame is no hotter than sunlight streaming through a window (Gremlin jumped in it to curl up and nap, I reached in to help them without thinking)

I sent the picture to my friend

So she’s okay, and that’s what matters, even if we don’t know what’s going on yet. I’m bringing her to show Professor Pine at work today.

[image ID: a fairly standard living room. Several evolution stones sit in a line against one wall. What looks like an ivysaur stands in the center of the room, however she now has some red and Orange spots, orange eyes, and in place of the bud on her back, there is a flame. She does not appear to be in distress.]

I’m starting to think leaving evolution stones out was a bad idea.

16, 26

Hi! Let’s see.

16. Favorite evolutionary stone?

Personally i think it’s better to let Pokémon evolve when they’re ready to, and not try to induce the process. (Obviously I’m not talking about cases where that’s the only way that Pokémon evolve but you know what i mean.) That aside, while I’m inclined to say Leaf Stone because i keep grass types, i really like the way Dusk Stones look.

26. Pokeblocks, Poke Puffs, Poffins, Poke Beans, Curry, or Sandwiches?

Harry (my Servine) likes Poké Puffs, but whether that’s because we almost always had them around the house growing up, or because he genuinely thinks they’re better, who’s to say. I know a few Puff recipes I can do pretty well if I say so myself.

Elle (my Ivysaur) I have no idea on, because she would just as soon put an actual grocery bag into her mouth as she would a piece of food. I say she has no thoughts behind her eyes, but that’s not true. She has one, and it is “put thing in mouth”.

[slayin-shaymin]

Flying with Elle is more impossible because she gets scared, will sit under the seats in front of me, and then will start trying to put luggage into her mouth.

Flying with Harry is impossible because he loves being my living neck pillow but he also loves biting the attendants when they bring refreshments.

Mixed bag I guess.
