Ok so I was just talking to a couple of my friends about the Lion King, right? And we had this hilarious thought that what if Scar was bitten by a spider instead of a cobra (how he got his scar, y'know)

But as I was forming the thought, my brain betrayed me, so it went like

What I meant to say: "What if Scar (lion)..."

What my brain immediately thought of: "What if Scar (Hermitcraft)..."

So yeah, that's how this month's hyperfixation's been going, how about yours?

Unova Battle Subway maps

My personal preferred map of the railways (one with blue markers, one with color coded markers)

An alternate map, taking the in-game subway map slightly more literally. (Bonus map with a few non-canon markers I added purely to help myself make sense of the seemingly pointless shapes of some of the routes)

Bonus extra map of the routes taken by Ingo, Emmet, or both of them, for those who want a more specific visual of those routes on their own. (Of course Emmet's line goes through the Pokémon World Tournament lmao)

Misc notes/thoughts under the cut

I'm not a train person, take all these musings with a grain of salt lol

Canon map note: I imagine this map only shows the large, intercity railways. Cities like Nimbasa, Castelia, etc likely have smaller, more complex subway lines all over the city like we tend to see IRL.

Canon map note 2: In an IRL setting, these rail lines are likely far less straight and angular than on these maps and could probably make a lot more sense if drawn with a freer hand and consideration for the landscape, but I tried sticking somewhat close to how it's presented in the game.

International (wi-fi) line: In the game it's the wi-fi line. In a non-game context I imagine this line is one that actually leaves Unova and goes to a neighboring region.

Subwayness: While not all of these lines are 100% underground like they might be in the cities, I like to think quite a few of them are partially or primarily in tunnels. Many lines go across water without a major bridge* on the map, or straight through harsh environments like mountains or deserts, some of which may be more convenient long term to go under rather than through. With the technology of the Pokémon universe, I imagine large stretches of underground train tunnels are entirely possible. (*Maybe there's smaller unshown bridges for the trains, but at least the line that goes right through Castelia's port to an island I'd like to believe could be underground under water)

Battle Subway: The Battle Subway itself likely only runs on these intercity lines.Assuming IRL distances rather than in game walking distances, depending on the length of the line, a lap or two could be a full days work for the bosses. Non-battle trains likely use these same tracks.

Anville Town: The branching path on the Anville line is strange, as it doesn't seem to point toward any known location. It could be pointing toward some unlabelled town or landmark, though I've seen some people posit that it stops at the Celestial or Dragonspiral towers (though they seem too far away for me to agree). My personal headcanon is that rather than the large branch shown on the original map, it's actually two branches going to Anville Town; a large alternate rail to help with rotating/moving trains going in and out of the rail yard there.

Pokémon World Tournament: Located in or very near Driftveil City, it was added in BW2 by Driftveil gym leader Clay. Considering Driftveil is a city, it could have multiple subway stations, one of which just happens to be close to the PWT. Alternatively, it could be a bit of a distance away and thus have it's own station.

PokéStar Studios: Located in or very near Virbank City. As the major intercity lines don't quite hit Virbank itself, I imagine Virbank only has one intercity station near the studio if it's within Virbank itself. That, or it has no intercity stations and one must travel the distance between Virbank and the studio to travel further.

Unity Tower: Literally this train goes through a port and right into the ocean to reach an island. This island is only accessible by boat. I'm convinced this train goes under the seafloor. That or it has a super cool Marine Tube situation where it's a subway tunnel, but the tunnel is transparent and the ocean and water pokémon can be seen out the train windows.

rewatching teen wolf a decade later with most of a medical degree is an... experience

Mostly in how it takes me from how does the wound healing work, if the cut goes past the dermis it'd scar if it were just a sped-up process of the normal healing but could be the cells knitting back together and how could that work on a cellular level to oh my god if their bodies heal all minor trauma would that mean that they don't form calluses which means all the wolves have super soft hands and then snort-laughing in public

Animage（アニメージュ）1999年2月号

[justablah56]

hmm do you guys ever think about Lark and his selfish desire to be hurt regardless of others reactions to his pain and then Grant repressing all his cravings to *cause* pain because of others reactions to his enjoyment of it as well as his own .

do you guys ever think about Lark knowing Grant's capability to hurt him and doing anything he can to make him do it . he doesn't care about grant but he *needs* to be broken and Grant is the only one physically capable of breaking him how he wants .

do you guys think about Lark chipping away at the mental walls Grant has placed around his physical capability for causing harm . Lark finding out exactly what buttons to push to make Grant lose control for just long enough to leave a bruise . He doesn't care about how much Grant hates himself for doing it , but he sees Grants face in the moment he punches Lark . and he can see the wild grin . the moment of satisfaction when something inside Lark cracks . and then with a blood stained smile he watches Grant's face crumple into self hatred as he tries to apologize , he didn't mean it - but Lark did . he meant it . and he doesn't know how to tell Grant that seeing his blood on grants knuckles makes him feel good in a way that nothing has since the realms . he doesn't know how to say *do that again* . and so maybe he pulls himself to his feet , grunting through the pain that feels so *right* , kisses Grant with everything he has , leaving Grant to support his weight with trembling arms .

anyways .

do you guys ever think about glark .

Watch out ya'll, Sin's sketching Bloodborne comics again! 💀

[bandaidfingers]

6-page comic that I made for Level Ground Comics’ anthology “Dream Weaver” earlier this year :) a dreamy little fantasy story

[ilyfynn]

its a beautiful life. fynn hits 100k written this year. it's been a long journey and i thank everyone who has ever even clicked onto a work of mine. its difficult, sometimes, being stupid and a writer simultaneously. ignore the low numbers im a small fandom writer and i have a nother account ok

similarly, my mcsrtober also reached 1k hits which makes it my first fic with 1k hits yay thank you <3

highlights below. im gonna ramble ofc i am

swallow's mate. yeah its not the longest fic ever but i put so much time and effort and i am so so so so so so so proud of it and will always be. the world is a river of crackling chaos and i am the vengeance that simmers inside it

hiraeth. YES I WILL FINISH IT ONE DAY. ITS GOT REALLY NICE LORE. being the first bigger project i've tried to write since i unretired from mcsr, i adored being able to a) worldbuild and b) WRITE IN CHAPTERS. its so hard to write fics in one go my patience wears itself out

lappel du vide. you know nothing about lappel yet. you know nothing, but the plan was like 4k words and now you know something. boy do i have things planned for these stupid ranked runners. the darkness came when doogile was just a boy, after all

mcsrtober. im not as proud of my mcsrtober because i like editing things over and over and over again and mcsrtober simply doesnt allow the time for that. however i think i cooked really hard on some of the prompts and the ones yet to come (peepocute banger one on the 26th i think). like day 2. a full-on 4+1 fic. beautiful

there's a lot to come, i think. theres so many thoughts and not enough time to express them, and im only going to get more and more busy from now on. it's going to be walright. you know, theres a cool thing called a winter big bang, and the word count is projected to be around 18k...and its a oneshot...........................

then i can retire from writing longfics in one go and go back to chaptered becuase WOW chaptered is easier. AHHHHHHH

thank you for reading. this and all my fics. thank you @goober890 (i would be a liar if i didnt say i tried to tag ur ao3 😭) for being the first ever member of the fynn fanclub. thank you @bioluminescentfrog for putting up with me through the whole process of the fics to come. its been - not quite a long journey, but an eventful one all the same. from one mongey to another, i salute all of you.

i

doing some casual claws research tonight by browing r/spiders with all the images blocked because for someone who wrote a spider-based horror novel i sure do not like looking at four hundred pictures of spiders in a row

[toothfairyofficial]

do you guys ever get emotional about the fact that someone (a character) is Out There, Somewhere. like it's ok that i don't even know them but it makes me happy to think about the fact that this person's in the same reality as me (again, in this case). Like whether in a kintype situation or a fictive or some combination or whatever. They're Out There and i hope to god happy. maybe they even have friends from the same source and they found each other again. Shout out to You for existing wherever you are
