#it’s not that long but tagging

Late night MCC rambles:

To preface this I want to say I’m not very familiar with Dave Krtzyy, but he’s been in MCC long enough that I vaguely know of his vibe and skillset through osmosis.

Okay, so I’ve heard Aqua29 be compared to Blue9 in the mythological sense (in particular with the whole “proving self as S tier” / getting a long awaited win / H + PvPer) and Yellow20 in the practical sense. And I kind of agree with Yellow20. This does seem like a team that can get to Dodgebolt (and lose it) with a Yellow20ish trajectory. (If they actually lose Dodgebolt I’m gonna be real miserable about FalseCub losing DB again but anyways—)

Aqua29 is seen as a weaker Yellow20 because… I mean yeah it’s Illumina and SB. But one of the unique features of Yellow20 is that it’s a quiet competitive team. Illumina to a lesser degree, but I think the other three have been called one of the quietest / chillest POVs in MCC lol. Which can lead to communication issues such as MCC20 Sky Battle, in which False takes charge and they perform well in the last round. While False does occasionally take charge in Rivals, from my experience of watching her she doesn’t do that as much in MCC? However I think she did it a bit more in Yellow28, again 3/4 of Aqua. I think Yellow28 is a nice team for False because I think it’s a team she feels comfortable taking charge in, because Cub historically always backs her up and ofc HBomb’s around. (Stopping before this becomes another Blue9 H + False post)

Which leads to the question of leadership in Aqua29. Obviously, HBomb. We all know and love him. I’ve seen a Reddit post talking about Krtzyy leading in PvP games and I don’t know him well enough to discuss that, and the post mentioned not knowing about his synergy with the hermits so it could affect the team’s performance at first. Fair enough, but then again, H’s there, H factor and all that, he acts as a bridge, and the hermits are pretty good communicators (even if Cub is a little quieter). H’s presence is what differentiates Yellow20 from Aqua29. Coin wise, Yellow20 is probably stronger, but team wise, H factor could do wonders for Aqua29. So long they all listen to each other, I think they’ll be fine.

And also, don’t forget that the two hermits can be sweaty. Especially the specific combination of False + Cub. They’ve been in so many esport tourneys lmao (although usually not together T-T). And they know they have a good team this time, specifically with the blessed combo of H + PvPer. H is a great team player and strategiser, and knows how to “reign” in others (PvPers). A PvPer can make up in terms of raw skill, and H’s coordination can allow said PvPer to flourish. It’s why H and Fruit were so scary together (their skillsets and styles compliment each other particularly well, but I’m not gonna let this spiral into yet another Blue9 post).

So yeah, I think this team will be Interesting. It’s even more Interesting that it’s not just H + hermits, or Krtzyy + hermits, or H + Krtzyy, but all of the above together. It’s probably gonna be competitive. It’s probably gonna be fun. It’s giving Yellow20 but H factor. It’s giving Blue9. I’ve also heard someone say Orange10 but I can’t really see that lmao since to me Dave resonates more with Fruit’s arc, but I’m open to interpretations yay

Honestly, if they practice and get their comms / synergy sorted, I think they can slay. Like, genuinely. For the narrative. For Krtzyy’s win after five million years. For Aquabomb. For False and Cub’s DB redemption.

TLDR: I believe in Aqua29. They can do it.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they've been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now

When I was a kid, we moved into a house that had a huge lilac tree out front. It was mostly rotten, and it needed to be taken down before it fell. It took a while, but eventually, it was gone.

Mostly. A couple years later, little lilac babies popped out of the ground in its place. My mom was determined to get rid of them, because she'd planted a beautiful flower garden there, and the lilac trees would overshadow and kill the whole garden. I insisted on saving at least a few saplings. She said fine, but I had to dig them out and put them in pots myself.

So, I did. I spent days digging little lilac bushes out of the ground and putting them into pots. Some couldn't be saved, but some could. When all was said and done, I had five brand-new lilac saplings. Seven or eight years old, and it was my absolute pride and joy.

Three died due to sun scorching, severe drought that no amount of watering could save, and perhaps just being moved from their place in the ground. But two survived, and I was awfully proud of them! I'd go out and talk to them every single day. I watered them by hand and made sure they were fertilized properly. I learned all about their favored environments, and I was determined to make sure they lived.

One of my mom's friends saw what I was doing with the lilacs. She asked if she could have one to put in her backyard, and I agreed on the condition that she take very, very good care of it.

It's now fucking enormous. I'm talking ten feet tall and bursting with beautiful purple flowers every spring. My mom still gets updates each year as they start to bloom, which she forwards to me. And all I can think is, "That's my friend! Thriving some twenty years on, there it is."

The other tree nearly died, too. It lived in a pot for far, far too long. I wanted to plant it somewhere in my parents' yard, but my mom was reluctant. Eventually, we agreed to put it in the far back garden. It grew okay for many years, despite the shade, but in all these years, it's never bloomed.

Last year, the massive tree casting massive shadows over the lilac and the garden cracked in half and fell. It tumbled into the garden, crushing part of the nearby shed and destroying a few plants beneath it.

It missed my lilac by inches.

The clean-up is long done. The rest of the tree has been cut down, and my lilac has full sunlight for the first time in fifteen years. It won't bloom this year, I know. But it's got new shoots up. It's taller than ever. I spent half an hour a few weeks ago praising it for surviving all this time, dreaming about its future and telling it how I believe it'll become the tall beauty it's always been meant to be.

I think next year, I'll see flowers.

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

The Zorua and Conkeldurr story felt a little bit lonely, so I decided to give Conkeldurr an old friend. :)

I haven't got their story all figured out yet.. it's mostly just vague ideas..

I was thinking that Emboar and Conkeldurr met when they were very young. They grew up together and had a very strong bond.. At one point or another though, they went their separate ways for a few years. I haven't decided why quite yet.. perhaps the Emboar wanted to have kids and so went searching for a mate? But Conkeldurr wanted to go and explore the lands with his new found strength? Either way, there was no hurt feelings or broken hearts. They knew they would see each other again someday.

And see each other again they did. When Conkeldurr found this Zuora and adopted it, he ended up going back near his home lands looking for his friend. I'm considering that when they split they had both already fully evolved. Which is why Emboar recognized him instantly and why Conkeldurr would flag down the first Emboar he saw. Not Pignite.

Conkeldurr was thrilled to see that Emboar now had 4 piglets!! :D And Emboar was very happy that her dear friend had found this.. little black fluffy thing..? XDD

After this reunion, Conkeldurr and Emboar would stick together indefinitely. Conkeldurr was a new parent and could really use mama Emboars guidance/advice. And with Emboar now having 4 piglets to protect, having a muscle man to back her up was very useful.

But most of all, they were just really happy to be in each others presence again. They missed each other more than they thought they would..
