it’s always ‘competitive battlers don’t care about Pokemon’ but like every competitive battler I know is like . This is my garchomp. She has sad wet eyes and so sometimes I have to put her in sweaters to calm her down. Also she has won several championships.

Orange pupils and elongated slits squint at such a sight: surely, this was a decoration, not the Killer he had been placed with for the new, intriguing challenges of tackling bigger (and more) sacrifices for the malevolent Entity that had given him everything he wished for.

Dressed in his S.T.A.R.S. uniform, Albert peers up at the skellie and waves his hand in front of them, taking in all of the pirate's features as he does so. The black hair thrust into a bun and orange eyes that almost gleam like embers - quite reflective of his own eyes - are the only indication that this might be his ally for the upcoming Trial. The being is decorated in all sorts of crystals, as well, and horns protrude from their brow...

What a curious thing.

Eyes flicker, then, to the surrounding area. Even stranger, as if stolen from a book he'd read as a teenager. Not the Raccoon City Police Department, then. He did love staining that old location of his memory in rivers of blood. No, instead, surrounding him - and that gigantic skeleton - is a dungeon. The decaying remains of corpses and skeletons litter the place.

He stares back at the Warden now, keeping his distance but also curious.

"Decoration or Killer?" he asks, and brandishes his knife as if to show his allegiance. The slight British cadence of his voice makes the question all the louder in the dungeon. Uroboros moves and wraps around his wrist, snaking up to lovingly flick a tendril along Wesker's S.T.A.R.S.'s patch. Even it is ready for a fight.

"What is your specialty? I bring forth pestilence."

That same tendril swirls, as if it is nodding.

When i was a kid I thought being in your 20s was like. Having a job and shit

Turns out being in your 20s is watching Bamzooki at half 2 in the morning with your housemates and getting upset that the stickbug didn't get used

Over here we have living proof of plenty of worshipped deities’ existences. The simple answer is ‘who do you worship, if any?’ I don’t. Worship any myself!! 👍 I used to worship The Crane and was technically blessed by it but I really don’t follow it anymore.

I’m only really critical of arcism otherwise,,

i have a question

[skitter-smack]

hey hey hey young trainer look at me. look at me. sometimes pokemon aren’t battling pokemon. it’s not because you’re a bad trainer it’s because some pokemon just aren’t fit for battling either because they don’t want to or other reasons. you don’t have to push your pokemon’s boundaries i promise you sometimes it’s neither of your faults. sometimes pokemon don’t or can’t battle. ok? ok.

[skitter-smack]

speaking as someone with experience with this: just because a pokemon evolves through having a strong bond with its owner / other pokemon and doesn’t evolve doesn’t mean you’re a bad trainer or owner. some pokemon just don’t want to evolve! sometimes you can’t have that Pokemon evolve because you can’t care for that evolved pokemon! one of my internet buddies has like 9 alolan meowth and none of them have evolved and they are the sweetest most loved things I’ve ever seen and do not care to evolve.

be easy on yourself! sometimes pokemon just don’t want to evolve!

good morning to fat bitches, trans women, cyclizar racers, porygon, birdmon specialists, people with NPD, and not Harte. The rest of you….you’re on your own

Honestly I thought I was gonna do competitive for a very long time—I fucking kicked ass at it.

And then I just. Got tired ig. I went back, finished my last two years of high school, filed for emancipation and then I went to Kalos to deal with college! 👍 I don’t know if I’d ever want to adventure again lmao I’ve CONSIDERED. Exploring Kalos. But since I’m not associated with Professor Sycamore anymore I think I’m just gonna keep up with the astrophysics major. My joints are too shitty anyways.

Loved adventuring, never again though. Most trainers I know have that same sentiment. /silly

So, uh, what do those of you who do the whole... adventure thing actually intend to do once that, you know, stops? It's gonna eventually. So, like, you have thought about that at least a little bit, right?

pro tip for scizor owners: get building blocks, especially the ones that are hollow and have holes in them so the scizor can slider their claws in. They love that shit. They love just picking things up. I am giving my brother’s Scizor building blocks and he’s just stacking them.

Literally just give your scizor anything to pick up, so long as it’s not easy to break (older scizors will understand how to hold things gently but like…giving them something that could pierce or get everywhere still isn’t a risk you should take) they will be so entertained. Bonus points if there’s something inside like a treat they have to find a way to get the treat out.

[skitter-smack]

Any skilled trainer who says they’ve never been hurt by their own pokemon, even a minor injury, is just outright lying. You will get hurt, you will fuck up, you will fuck up with your pokemon too. That is par for the course, and you will grow from it.

shoutout to all the girls who sneeze as soon as they arrive at the hotel

Muse Mixup Madness — August 1, 2024

hello again! i've got more energy left than i expected tonight, so it's prompts time now instead of tomorrow!

i'm also trying out a new type of prompt for these: setting prompts. these prompts ask you to reimagine your character for a specific setting rather than making changes to them directly, and then place them in it for the duration of the event. if you choose a setting prompt, assume everyone else who chose that prompt is in the same universe as your character and free to engage in fun shenanigans with.

1. What Once Went Wrong

This one's an old favorite most of you are probably familiar with! Take a moment in your character's backstory where they failed something or something bad happened, and explore what would have happened if things had gone more favorably.

2. Space Age (setting prompt)

Here's our first setting prompt! It's the year 2454, and the Pokémon world has taken to the stars with technology far beyond what exists now. Time for spaceships and planets full of alien Pokémon!

3. A Change In Circumstance (requires partner)

Roleswaps? Roleswaps. With your partner, work out who your characters would be if they were the heroes of each other's stories instead of their own.

As always, you can use this post to find a partner, make a post on your blog seeking one, or just ask someone directly if they'd like to do it with you—the worst they can say is no.

4. Twirling My Moustache

Yes, yes, villain AUs, we're all familiar with them. What you don't see as often, though, is card-carrying villain AUs. Cartoon villain AUs. What if your character was evil and a little bit silly about it?

[skitter-smack]

You’re only food for the bugs.

[skitter-smack]

can you all be more respectful towards johtoni people and our practices. yes this includes azalea town. can you all stop believing we’re backwater kantonians. can you do that. thanks.

[skitter-smack]

I think they should give the tapus 100 dollars for every golf course built on alola

[skitter-smack]

My metagross is an expert navigator! She knows Kalos already like the back of their hand. A very proficient flyer in comparison to other metagross too :]

My clefable Beans like puzzle games!!

Trainers of rotomblr

Do any of your Pokémon know a cool trick/have an interesting skill outside of battling?

Emmet, my Kricketune, can play the entirety of Binks' Brew.
