(@wingsofachampion) Hiya! What's a biodome? -Tropius
woah a...a talking tropius. hello....that's a first 😅
A biodome (or some people call them biospheres) is basically a self-controlled, sustainable environment kept within a big mostly-glass dome! The enclosed space means the inside conditions can be controlled independently from the outside ones
The one we use is to simulate a midway between prehistoric and modern conditions. It's not perfect, because fossil pokemon come from all over the globe, but we can get some things closer, like a higher oxygen level, lower humidity and general warmer climate. Even better, plants whose genetics are millennia old recognise these conditions and thrive happily in them, which really helps some pokemon like kabuto and anorith get back into the habit of foraging. We can even keep tabs on water body levels, like pH and mineral levels!
It cost a lotta money, even more so because we requested weather options like rain and wind, but it's all worth it to see the lil fellas thrive
(This isn't our dome, but one in another region dedicated to botanicals)

now that my time at the boston tea party is coming to a close, im reflecting on my favorite facts and i think the best one is that one of the guys involved (my nemesis lendall of the john gray gay panic incident) is the distant ancestor of the guy who made the first philosoraptor meme.
history is a funny thing

yknow, one of the sad things retail has shown me is that the average middle aged/older person has no manners. when i say to customers at work "what can i do for you?" i get "i need" or "i want" or even straight up "give me". theres rarely any "may i" and god forbid they say please. its not hard to look a person in the eyes, say "can i please get ___" instead of barely acknowledging me and barking demands at me like i'm a robot. it's disrespectful. and it's really sad that the generations that taught us manners growing up seem to have forgotten theirs entirely.

Why so serious, Cordie?
Cordelia works at a flower shop in the morning and at Dante's bar at night, and she sleeps sometimes (And yet she has no home wow)
She's a black American girl with Dominican background btw
Sometimes Izekiel pisses her off because he's oblivious of everything and has to worry about only two things but they're best friends anyways :3

OH MY GOD I WAS GONNA TELL YOU ABOUT THE DOTTORE SDV MOD.... BRO FHGVYIAHBJKDMS,A. i was SO ready to wife him up. i know my man's staying at home doing experiments while i go manage the farm but THAT'S OKAY, HE'S MY PRETTY PRINCESS AND I WANNA TREAT HIM LIKE ONE AGYDBHSIJAKNMDA 💪💪💪💪
YOU ARE SO RELATABLE KAI!!! 😭😭😭 Look, if i was married to Dottore, the babygirl wouldn't have to lift a finger, I'd work and bring in all the resources, he wouldn't have to worry about a thing he could just do his experiments. I'd also have to cook for him because otherwise, he'd blow up our lovely apartment/house 🥰 But his segments would take care of the other things too, so i wouldn't be overwhelmed and stressed (relationship goals tbh) He spends all day in his lab but he has an alarm set for the time when you usually come home so he won't miss you walking through the door ... ;) and Dottore helps you take your coat off and everything, massaging your shoulders and body after working so hard ;) yes he really is your pretty princess whose job is to comfort and cuddle you <3
