I keep having thoughts of drawing a series of portraits for my Mistborn AU, and titling them according to what role the character plays or what their intentions/backstory might be -- such as, "The Noble," or, "The Convict," for example. I have an almost tarot-card-like vision in my mind.
But I have like six characters I want to do, and that's... a lot. It would have to be a gradual sort of release. And I haven't even finished designing what each character looks/dresses like in this AU.
But oooooooooooogh I want to do it so baaaaaaaaad.
I have so little, story-wise, in place for this AU, but my Imaginings? My visions? The aesthetics?
Oh boy.
Anyway, also the though of Ingo having a portrait titled, simply, "The Convict," amuses me greatly. Look at him! Ingo? A convict? The sad, wet mop of a man?
(Sad wet mop of a man who clawed his way out of Hathsin and killed a good handful of people to do so, granted, but look at him. Does he look like he'd commit crimes?)
Anyway, tentative lineups and character info below, don't mind me slapping vague story threads on the walls like paint:
Elesa: The Noble -- a noblewoman of decently high standing and bearing a kind heart. A few whispers say that she's helping an underground resistance force against the Lord Ruler, but to flagrantly accuse her of such things only for them to be false would be a sure-fire way to land in hot water.
Lucas: The Runner -- a young boy brought in off the streets by Lady Elesa. He is very curious and very cautious, and runs errands for Elesa, sometimes with Dawn.
Dawn: The Courier -- a young girl, brought in with Lucas by Lady Elesa. A feisty spitfire with the noble's district tattooed on her arms for ease of navigation when delivering messages and collecting information.
Hilda and Hilbert: The Mistborn -- orphaned twins who are inseparable. They Snap individually, and keep their ability to burn all metals a well-kept secret. They get by through theft, favors, and a spiteful amount of tenacity, before becoming separated and being reunited at Lady Elesa's mansion.
Ingo: The Convict (or Vigilante) -- a former prisoner, sent to the Pits of Hathsin for stirring up dissent against the Lord Ruler. Known as the Wraith. Formerly an Iron-burning Misting, and supposedly a Mistborn who Snapped one night and left numerous guards dead in his escape. Wanted, preferably dead, for continued crimes and evasion of "justice."
Dari (formerly: ?????): The Bereaved -- the youngest Inquisitor, having been reformed for only a few years. Constantly smiling. Formerly a Steel-burning Misting.

In truth there is no better place to be Than falling out of darkness still to see Without a premonition Could you tell me where we stand? I'd hate to lose this light Before we land And when I feel like I can feel once again Let me stay a while Soak it in a while If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong Buy a little time For this head of mine Haven for us
One of the things that I adore about Ties That Bind was the journey that Preston 'Prowl' Wan took to become a fully-fledged character, where he initially began as simply a mirror of IDW Prowl. And to honour that development, the man whose compassion is no less real for being learned rather than innate, who sees numbers and the faces behind them with the same crackshot clarity, and who believes not in gods or fate or a higher calling but in people, and in you Jazz, has earned a brand new character sheet! His old sheet can be found here And below, you'll finally find his full story!
Preston Wan Peirong remembers little of his childhood, which is perhaps for the best in some aspects; Hard to tell the truth from a lie in a memory when one doesn’t know how many times they have been ‘rewritten’.
However, what he can tell you with unnerving clarity was the coldness of it all. The sterility. The unquestionable sense of order and obedience to the system he was told kept the world from devolving into chaos after it narrowly avoided total annihilation.
As a cold construct, Preston was a part of a batch commissioned specifically for the law enforcement division and grew up in the youth wing of China’s Public Security Academy in Beijing. Here, he was trained to become a police officer from the day he was old enough to respond when the numbers under the barcode stamped on his neck were called out: P7031 Names weren’t given; Names had to be earned.
Every aspect of his life and that of those in his batch was strictly regimented down to the last minute; Food calculated down to the last calorie for maximum performance with minimum waste to funding. Lesson room, shooting range and dorm temperatures kept frigid to ‘sharpen the mind’. The text which met his gaze, the lessons which rang in his ears, the words that came out of his mouth when he was permitted to speak.
He learned early on what his purpose was in the world, and had it drilled into him how integral purpose was to keeping the system running; Everyone had a purpose, everything had its place, and as long as the people understood both, order would be maintained, and order had to be maintained to keep the peace for the good of the many. Sometimes, yes, that meant oiling the gears. Other times, it was hammering down stray nails.
That purpose drove him, and by seven, indoctrinated him so thoroughly that he didn’t question the stinging in his knees when he was ordered to kneel on rice grains during his lesson drills, or his own hunger when ordered to go without meals until he’d learned to disassemble and reassemble his weapon at a speed which put officer cadets to shame.
At eight however, the sterile and orderly world he knew within the academy walls began to crack; Sitting on the top of his batch, it was decided by the academy trainers that he needed more one-on-one tutelage after class hours. It was decided that he needed a handler.
Tan Yumei was a former soldier; a renown crackshot with steel in her eyes and in her bones from years in service to the state; The kind that made her sit up straighter when the offer was made for her to become a glorified babysitter—in her words—to what had to be the world’s best behaved boy.
Asset, the interviewer would correct her. Not a boy; an asset. Our asset.
The promise of a job in the academy which would come with pay and medical benefits which far eclipsed her government pension was too tantalizing to pass up, and she took on the child known as P7031 under her wing.
She was to train him in field work and help with his assimilation into society; the silo of the academy gave him the skills necessary, but could only do so much to help him function as part of the system.
As often as she was told to treat him as an asset, a tool rather than a child, that proved easier said than done as Yumei found herself warming up to all four-foot-six of stoic, stony-faced, serious-as-a-heart attack P7031.
It started small and innocuous; ice cream as a treat for a job well done, something completely novel to the child. No sense using the stick exclusively when the carrot was there as long as results were achieved, she would assure the staff.
This hid her growing disturbance with the way P7031 was raised, more so as he began to light up when when she greeted him every morning, began to smile as she praised him for things that weren’t tied to the purpose given to him by the academy, began to question the world around him in ways he had never been given the chance to do before with the kind of childish wonderment that dissipated into thin air when it came time to return to the academy.
And P7031 began to feel his worldview shift as well, as she was the first person to treat him like the child that he was, whether it be reading with him young adult novels not approved by the academy board or snapping the very first pictures of himself he was allowed to keep (a gift to remind him that he existed beyond the academy walls). Attachments were an alien concept to him; he understood that his purpose meant connections beyond duty—whether it be family or friends, neither of which he had prior to Yumei— were wasteful, unnecessary, dangerous. But for the first time in his nine years of living, he wanted for something more than purpose. He wanted a life with his handler, his mother, as the card he presented to her on a second Sunday in May proclaimed with words easier written than spoken.
And as the time grew near for her handler contract with the academy to end, it was a sentiment Yumei echoed.
When he was ten years old, she came for him after hours; silent, stealthy and wreathed in shadow, promising him a life away from the academy, from a purpose he never asked for.
And at ten years old, time froze for him.
P7031 didn’t remember anything of that night; The escape to the docks. The lullaby hummed to keep him calm. The struggle and the thunderclap that spattered his coat in blood that wasn’t his, and the wretched, barely human sound that tore from his throat.
He didn’t remember being dragged back to the academy beaten within an inch of his life screaming blue murder.
Didn’t remember the golden eyes crinkled at the edges with amusement as he begged for them to stop, because he knew Uncle Gold-Eyes, the one they called Trepan, to be a doctor who dealt with ‘defective’ assets; something he had once prided himself in never being. He didn’t care that he was defective; they had already taken the only person worth anything in his life away from him physically, and they were prepared to take what remained of her in his mind to ‘fix’ him.
His pleas fell on deaf ears, and what he did remember, after all this, is simply his dorm room, Spartan as ever.
Life went on, with only whispers of the unexplained cancellation of the handler initiative, which he’d never heard of, as a ripple in the monotony of his classes, shooting range practice and on-field assignments.
At eighteen, he graduated from the academy and finally earned the right to a name, and P7031 became Officer Wan Peirong, assigned to the Chengdu Security Bureau where he became one of its rising stars.
His professionalism, loyalty and sense of duty were unmatched, even among his batch, and he unquestioningly served the system that kept the nation running. Criminals had no place in the system, but as he was told by his superiors, neither did dissidents who threatened order and had to be re-educated, taught the error of their ways to become productive citizens the same way he had been molded into a model worker in the academy.
In this period, blips in his memories became more frequent, though his attending physician dismissed his concerns as it didn’t impact his work. Work which he began to question one day when his task entailed breaking up a miners’ protest downtown. As he led one activist away, an elderly woman kowtowed at his feet, begging for him to show mercy to her son, and something in her voice made him loosen his grip with the beginnings of doubt.
Miners were not an outlying group; they were a sizable section of the populace, and they weren’t the only group voicing their grievances. He was tasked with helping keep the peace; something he was told repeatedly that the many desired over the few who bucked against the order. But who was he serving when those who bucked against the order he was told should not be challenged became the many?
It was a question Peirong struggled with as the days went by and dissent grew louder among the working class, which authorities were ordered to respond to with mounting force even for the pettiest infractions.
He began to seek out banned texts, including translated copies of ‘Towards Peace’, supposedly penned by a Cold Construct just like him from the west, to gain clarity on the situation; He reasoned that ne had to study all angles before making a move after all, and the more he read, the more shaky his faith grew in an institution which was far from the paragon he had been promised in the academy.
He wasn’t a fool however; he knew how the system worked inside and out, and began searching for loopholes to secretly help out people he believed were being failed by the system, as well as utilising malicious compliance to cover his tracks in a real-time game of chess with his superiors.
It all came to a boiling point one day, as he was assigned to a squad escorting a group of political prisoners to a new facility.
Among them was someone Peirong recognised as one Brandon Shen Bailin; a charismatic and defiant radio deejay-reporter from Hong Kong who recently came out as a Cold Construct and was nicknamed the ‘Blaster’ for the exposes he penned about the government.
Brandon had gone missing weeks ago on assignment in Xinjiang; no amount of bandages and no large a hoodie could hide the toll that time had taken on the man, who was now emaciated and missing all of his fingers.
Before Peirong could fully process what he was seeing, the reporter was separated from the rest of prisoners and forced to kneel, as a gun was placed in Peirong’s hands by the Second-Level Inspector and he was told to dispose of this enemy of the state.
What was unspoken but clearly understood between both of them, as Peirong could deduce from the officers closing in on him, was that this was a test of loyalty as his wavering faith in the system was becoming clear to the bureau’s cabal.
The choice was made in a split second; he refused his commanding superior’s orders, shot the man square between the eyes before they could draw their weapon and then kneecaped the rest of the officers before the dust settled.
Hauling Brandon into the shotgun seat of the prisoner transport truck and driving off, he helped the reporter liaise with a contact that directed them to a rendezvous point at the nearby contested China-Arunachal Pradesh border to fight extradition orders.
With authorities not far behind, Peirong pressed on and covered for them as they raced towards the border, following in Brandon’s lead. He had spoken with them throughout the journey; stilted and monotonous as ever on his end as he struggled to connect with them, but two things were clear, as they made that run for freedom:
The first was that the system was untenable if it would deem parents, poets, artists and blue collar workers–the many, the unarmed—as enemies of the state. The second, was that while they ran for their lives, he wasn’t sure whether he’d ever truly lived at all.
This was a sentiment that Peiriong echoed, after he was overpowered by men in the same uniform he wore, to the constable pressing the nozzle of a gun to his forehead; That they were free to take his life, a life where the only moment he’d felt even barely alive was he had defied an order for the first time.
The argument that occurred next between two commanding officers who debated his fate was a surprise, though not so much as the revelation that this wasn’t the ‘first time’ he had broken protocol, and that he had apparently broken protocol one too many times that they were now weighing his use against the cost needed for his ‘upkeep’.
In a day of firsts, it was also the first time Peirong had allowed his emotions to overwhelm him, as his increasingly frantic demands to know what they did to him before this—suddenly the blips in his memories made sense—was met with a pistol whip to the temple, and booming sound which made him believe for a fraction of a second that the gunman had kept true to the threat to kill him.
Except he still breathed, and despite the ringing in his ears, he dazedly managed to push himself up to see the officers scattered and stunned while a new man stood in their midst; armored, backlit against the sun, and smiling.
The words were muffled, but he could read the man’s lips clearly; “Focus on me.”
It was the singular thread of clarity he needed to finally accept the hand outstretched to him as both of them made a run for the waiting aircraft that would, for better or worse, take him away from his purpose, from the only life he knew.
The man, who introduced himself as Jace Zayden codenamed Jazz, was a friend of Brandon who had refused to leave without the lone cop who had risked everything to help them.
And where Peirong had feared losing his purpose, his reason for existing with the single step he took beyond China’s borders, he found that he had instead traded it in for another the moment Jace invited him to team leader Omar ‘Orion Pax’ Parvez’s table to discuss strategy; something this new team desperately needed.
He chose a new name, Preston, to mark his departure from his old life, and focused on his new purpose as framed by the man who saw worth in his life when those he’d once pledged it to did not: Peace through compassion, even if learned, over oppression.
And between understanding what it meant to live as a man rather than a government asset, and forging connections beyond what duty once dictated for him, maybe, just maybe he could one day piece together the scattered fragments of his past.

So I've been going through Galar on a pokemon catching trip, and my dear Vanilluxe, Hearts, keeps making my pokemon, others pokemon, and wild pokemon faint because he has the "snow warning" ability. I've had to buy and use S O M A N Y revives, and I got curious about revives, came up with some things I was curious about:
What are they made of that they both wake the pokemon up and heal them?
What do they taste like? (haven't had a chance to eat any myself yet because people keep telling me that imma see that hat man if i take one while in good health)
Why are they such a pleasant and wonderful light yellow?
Thanks for answering (if you have the time to do so).
revives work by stimulating the fainted pokemon's nervous system. they are not intended for use in humans and are not meant to be consumed orally. you would make yourself quite sick if you drank one. the yellow is just the color the company that produces them decided to make them.
i'm pretty concerned about the disuption you're causing to other people, native wildlife, and your own pokemon by allowing your vanilluxe to manipulate the weather like that, and i'm also concerned by the sheer amount of revives you're claiming to use. these are meant for emergencies and shouldn't be given to pokemon that frequently. it's not okay to let your pokemon harm others and impact the ecosystem you're in, and to be honest i think it's not great that you're allowing your own pokemon to be pelted with hail to the point that they're passing out. i think you really need to rethink the way you're treating the environment you're in and the people and pokemon you're subjecting to drastic weather changes. hopefully you're just exaggerating to be funny, because that's both unkind and a great way to get law enforcement and the rangers called on you. take your responsibility as a travelling trainer more seriously.

36. First President to tell the military men and women that they should pay for their own private insurance because they "volunteered to go to war and knew the consequences."
37. Then he was the First President to tell the members of the military that THEY were UNPATRIOTIC for balking at the last suggestion.
I feel much better now.

Introducing... Barbara Heimer
for consideration at @simsinfinitylt Austin's Bachelor Challenge
NAME: Barbara "Barbie" Heimer (she/her) AGE: Young Adult (24) LIFE STATE: Human ORIENTATION: Bisexual. EA has a way of resetting my sims to its defaults, so she should have both men and women as sexual and romantic options, no preferences. HOME WORLD: Del Sol Valley TRAITS: Cheerful, Genius, Kleptomaniac, Nosy, Good Manners, Compassionate, Headstrong, High Self Esteem, Shameless, Dauntless - plus a few others from the satisfaction points redemption store. ASPIRATION: Chief of Mischief CAREER: Officially, nepo baby and party girl. Unofficially, hacker extraordinaire.
read more
Yes, that's me! No, the one on the left. I mean, they're both catches for some slightly older people (and unlike my parents, their faces still actually move), but I'm the one applying.
All of this is off the record, right, from one Watcher to another? (And if it isn't, weeeell, it's amazing how the Sims 4 and the spaghetti coding that comes with it can shred your system...)
Well, my mother's some big shot casting director, and my father is a businessman who made his money through means that aren't illegal strictly speaking, but will not exactly earn him the Simitarian of the Year award. Why are there so many industries where it's good to be bad? Ugh.
But anyway, i'M n0t liKe OthEr NePo BAbIEs. Barbies? Sorry, I just had to. I may keep up the sunny party girl exterior, and sure, I genuinely enjoy that life. Once the sun goes down, however (or as the sun rises with my hours, more accurately?), as well as one of Del Sol Valley's most wanted bachelorettes, I'm most wanted... as a hacker! And likely by law enforcement too, which just shows that they're not on the side of the little people, as I use my powers for good!
Sure, I don't come cheap but I work fast. And I will pick up work pro bono, so to speak, if something really sketchy is going on. That sizeable donation Victor Feng is making to No Sim Left Behind? Moi, all moi. And he can't cancel it now because it would be too bad for his PR. So sad.
And this right here is my bestie, Kayla Flemming. She didn't like me at first (I can be too much for some people, even though I am "just right") but I helped her out by scrubbing some unfortunate photos out of existence (and bankrupting the creep responsible) so now I have the best personal trainer in the business!
"RUN BARBIE, RUN - DO YOU THINK THE COPS WILL GIVE YOU A BREATHER?!?" "Yeah maybe that doesn't come under my rights, no..."
(Kayla Flemming, redefining Tough Love 50 burpees at a time...)
And that's it from me! I may be a little mischievous and sometimes take a joke too far, but I enjoy people and I'm nice. Just maybe make sure I have my macchiato before approaching me in the morning (Marcus Flex is my favourite barista!)
WATCHER NOTES
Outfit pics below! You don't have to include the second everyday one (the Moonlight Chic jacket and shorts) - I just wanted to have an even three in each row or it would have driven me crazy 😊 And yeah, the Haley from Stardew Valley references are deliberate.
cc: sunglasses, hairs, genetics (including non default eyes), makeup, earrings (everyday + formal), bracelet and beret. i couldn't find the city living beret anywhere in my cas so if you'd rather, sub barbie's out for that one
Oh and since halfway through I realised that she needed a darker shade of eyes so they wouldn't be overwhelmed by her hair (if I don't use that shade of blonde for Barbie, then when will I 😅), I've included an unedited close up of her in cas.
Let me know if you want her and I'll DM you a simsfileshare zip!

BTS Military enlistment thoughts...
These are my thoughts and opinions. Information is out there if you seek it yourself. Nothing has been confirmed by any of the members or the company.
News media says Korean male citizens Kim Namjoon, Kim Taehyung, Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook will be enlisting soon: Dec. 11 for the first two and Dec. 12 for the latter pair.
And that Jimin and Jungkook seem to have chosen the companion enlistment option. Yes, "option" because they could have chosen to go in separately.
Koreans who are familiar with how this all works, have tried to explain the process. From what I understand, the companion option allows them to serve their entire enlistment together.
They weren't forced and this wasn't their only option for enlistment. They chose this themselves for a reason, for personal reasons, that none of us can know because we aren't them.
Many speculate but NO ONE KNOWS their reasons!
According to various sources, they will be at the same training center as Jin. There are many groups doing ongoing training there. But I don't believe they will be in the same company that Jin serves as assistant trainer. Credible sources say that Jin's unit at the training center is not accepting recruits on Dec. 12 which is the supposed date that Jimin and Jungkook will enter the military but we don't know for sure. But being at the same training center would allow them to see each other when they have time.
This reunion:

We won't know for sure until it actually happens.
Many are throwing around wild speculation regarding the fact Jimin and Jungkook are the only two with tattoos and therefore had fewer options. But they aren't. All the members have tattoos now. The Korean military needs all the manpower they can get, they aren't excluding men with tattoos, they are just limiting the situations they can serve.
The options are limited (and only slightly) for them because very visible tattoos, especially on the arms and hands, would allow them to be identified too easily. This is a consideration and criteria that is regulated in militaries and law enforcement around the world and is not isolated to Korea. Criminals are identified by their tattoos. Military personnel can also be identified by visible tattoos. In a situation where it is imperative that enlisted remain anonymous, hand tattoos would be a dead giveaway for identification. I'm sure there are other reasons for no tattoos allowed in certain assignments.
The application process began months ago and is the same process all Korean male citizens would go through to be approved for the companion program.
No one is really discussing Tae and Namjoon, everyone is going batshit crazy over Jimin and Jungkook. Let them do their service in the manner they wish. None of you have any say-so in it so shut up.
No one is capable of or even wants to step back and consider the big picture which is more telling.
Regarding Tae and Namjoon, I would venture to say that after basic training, its possible Namjoon will serve in some capacity with the Defense Ministry's Agency for KIA Recovery & Identification which he was named ambassador for earlier this year. That office is located in Seoul I believe. The fact he is well-known publicly and he can speak English would enhance his success in an assignment of this sort. This agency recovers those who lost their lives in action during the Korean War in which American soldiers also perished.
Recovering those KIA happens near or in the DMZ.
IF the hearsay about where Jimin and Jungkook might be assigned after training has any truth, they are supposedly headed to this area as they also perform minesweeping when searching for KIA remains. Again, none of this is confirmed, I am just employing critical thinking...
Tae supposedly has chosen the Special Task Force of the Army's Capital Defense Command. That seems like it implies he'll remain within Seoul during his enlistment.
It's all speculation, but I think these men carefully considered their options and the ramifications. None of this was done on a whim, from Namjoon's ambassadorship and the possibilities of it, to Jimin and Jungkook's companion enlistment and why they chose that option, NONE OF IT WAS DONE WITHOUT CAREFUL CONSIDERATION. They had to apply MONTHS ago for the options they were allowed to choose. They are not the only men in Korea enlisting this year, there are tens of thousands of others.
No one is considering, IF Namjoon is in Seoul during his enlistment, he would have something in common with Tae. And Yoongi. And Jin will be discharged in June, Hobi will be discharged in October... the implications, the connections... their target is 2025. Nothing is a coincidence. They can't be working while enlisted, however reuniting briefly with friends over dinner and drinks is allowed... what they talk about during their get togethers is none of our business.
ALL THAT BEING SAID... Hybe did a tremendous job this past summer with the 10th anniversary Festa celebration, involving various municipality governments, procuring large corporate sponsors and communicating to news media in the almost month long series of events. They elevated the general public's awareness of BTS's impact and therefore instilled value and pride for their continued success.
No military commander would want anything to happen to the members while under their watch.
NOTHING IS A COINCIDENCE.
P.S.: The idiots sending in emails to the Defense Ministry are hurting EVERYONE. The level of lunacy knows no bounds with certain people. They suffer from a pathological psychosis. Don't engage, don't acknowledge.

Pokémon Societal Bureaucratic Structure
The Pokémon Association is responsible for managing everything to do with the legalities of the relationships with people and Pokémon in several ways. They are responsible for drawing up and often enforcing laws regarding Pokémon and general competition between Pokémon Trainers.
They are the creators of the different types of battling such as Triple Battles and Rotation Battles as well as battle facilities in various regions, global tournaments, and the Trainer Database itself. They are also creators of different types of challenges aside from the standard Gym and League Challenges, such as the various Type Specialist Challenges.
Some of the laws created by the Association include the famous rule which states that a Trainer can only battle with six Pokémon at a time. In addition, they regulate all related technology in regards to catching and training Pokémon.
The Pokémon League is responsible for managing Gyms and Gym Challenges in each region where they have an embassy established and also provide Great Balls for all Gym Leaders to use free of charge.
They are also responsible for the distribution of Starter Pokémon eggs to Pokémon Breeders and the regional Professors. These starter Pokémon are often raised at a low level to make it easier for a new Trainer to truly bond with their new partner and these Pokémon are selected for how easy it is for new Trainers to train them.
Sometimes new Gym Leaders are selected and scouted out specifically by the League, sometimes they get a referral from someone within the League or are grandfathered in by a family member in some cases. However, there is another method of scouting for Trainers to fill Gym Leader positions – the League Conference.
The League Conference is a regionwide competition hosted by the Pokémon League for Trainers who have obtained eight Badges. It is a colosseum style event where Trainers who have completed the Gym Challenge can battle against each other. It’s a rather high-profile sporting event locally and it’s where the League also scouts out potential candidates to fill in Gym Leader positions should one be vacant.
For Trainers whose aims are higher than the Gym Challenge, they have the option of taking on the Champion League. The Champion League is the illustrious end goal for successful Trainers looking to acclaim further prestige. Trainers who have completed the Gym Challenge can move on to that region’s Victory Road to tackle the final challenge – battling the Elite Four and then the Champion of the themself.
Only Gym Leaders can become members of the Elite Four. They are also granted the authority to challenge the Champion directly without battling the Elite Four first.
Any Trainer who is taking on the Champion League – or the League Challenge, as is more colloquially known – must defeat all four members of the Elite Four one after another without leaving the Pokémon League itself to visit the Pokécentre or Pokémart in-between battles before battling the Champion immediately after.
Should that Trainer defeat the Champion, there are two options. All Trainers who defeat the Champion will have their information registered in the Hall of Fame along with the information of the Pokémon they defeated the League with. However, Trainers will be granted the title of Champion after defeating the current one once their victory is recorded in the Hall of Fame. However, a Trainer can take the role of Champion in making decisions within the Pokémon League itself, which comes with a great deal of authority and responsibility within the region, if the current Champion relinquishes their position. Should this not be the case and the Champion still relinquishes their position, Gym Leaders and Elite Four members will then be consulted to fill the position with Gym Leaders being considered first in order of priority.
Taglist:

hey, guys! i feel this post is kind of important to make given the sheer amount of people who use discord:
(and here's a link to the article that isn't paywalled, in an archive).
as per the first two paragraphs of the article:
An online service is scraping Discord servers en masse, archiving and tracking users’ messages and activity across servers including what voice channels they join, and then selling access to that data for as little as $5. Called Spy Pet, the service’s creator says it scrapes more than ten thousand Discord servers, and besides selling access to anyone with cryptocurrency, is also offering the data for training AI models or to assist law enforcement agencies, according to its website. The news is not only a brazen abuse of Discord’s platform, but also highlights that Discord messages may be more susceptible to monitoring than ordinary users assume. Typically, a Discord user’s activity is spread across disparate servers, with no one entity, except Discord itself, able to see what messages someone has sent across the platform more broadly. With Spy Pet, third-parties including stalkers or potentially police can look up specific users and see what messages they’ve posted on various servers at once.
here's another (brief) article about it:
news about this has just started reaching people en masse within the last couple days, but i didn't know if it had reached tumblr yet, so. yeah. here.

@persephoneprice hi lily! first of all I am literally so honored that you're in my inbox talking about clove and asking for my insight, my brain did a little happy dance seeing the kind-social-worker/red-persephone price-cannibalism mutual. anyways time to talk about my favorite knife queen and her murderous himbo boytoy / soulmate / tragic district partner!
so there are a lot of takes floating around about career district volunteering and I've seen several variations. career training is supposedly illegal but if the capitol is obviously not enforcing that law then the districts would probably just straight up have official Centers and publicly refer to it as a training ground, like it is not at all hidden. the way i write it in my fics is that anyone can train (it could be an afterschool activity for kids whose parents want them out of the house for longer, some people could rely on a stipend offered) and that for many it's casual (not everyone can go into a games and win, so some kids just use it the way children join after school clubs irl).
however for specific children - ie the catos and cloves - it is serious, not in fact just a way to pass the time, and these are the ones dedicated to actually going into a games and winning. now i doubt they were getting personalized attention from famous victors like brutus or enobaria what with the volume of children in a district (which builds to my later point about how i see cato and clove's precanon relationship), but for the sake of my fics and because it didn't occur to me to create OCs i say that at the very least enobaria mentored clove and is a trainer at the Center.
so after all is said and done, the kids who just see it as like casual workouts after school never have to fear being reaped because there is a large competitive pool of children who salivate for the chance to volunteer. after the escort draws the name (presumably to keep the pretense that there isn't illegal training going on, or out of respect to tradition maybe, or so that they can use the career kids' frothing at the mouth to volunteer as propaganda material), naturally a ton of careers would volunteer and that creates a high demand low availability situation, hence reaping brawls. no one wanted to go against cato because of his size, but clove is smaller and you know teenage girls are feral so she had to fight off other girls to get her spot that she 100% volunteered for (no one will convince me otherwise). this actually plays a role in clato's dynamic and initial views of each other since clove feels irritation at the fact that cato is just naturally deferred to while she has to fight by the claw to prove herself, something that doesn't occur to him.
that brings us to my thoughts on clato. now i adore the childhood best friends clato aus, this concept has been an important part of the clato fanfiction ecosystem and there are so many good fics of them as training partners who grew up together that deserve their flowers for what they did for the clato fandom. it's plausible that they were growing from partners to best friends (although your thought that they might not have wanted to get close to each other is so delicious and intriguing!!), however i choose to interpret them as if they hadn't known each other. the districts are huge, my high school alone has 4000 kids that i obviously don't know, it is plausible to me that cato and clove met as tributes. and i believe that makes their connection even sweeter! they bond over their shared values, are intrigued by the other's skills with their respective weapons, have everything the other doesn't (clove calms cato's rage, and is more sadistic than he is, while he has a lot of passion that she finds enjoyable), grow to respect and like each other and find hope in the idea that they can go home together and build on their connection. i love a good strangers to best friends to lovers and think that makes it better, the way they soften towards each other and are fiercely protective of each other because they just really like the other's company and want to share the victory together.
as for clove's life before the Games, there are a lot of different directions to go with that! being an orphan would 100% fit clove's vibe and is an idea i've been playing with (especially her dad being a serial killer before he got caught by peacekeepers and her mom abandoning her shortly after) but the way i write clove, she has a strained relationship with parents who love her in their own way but don't understand her and make her feel isolated/like she's deficient. i always give her estranged brothers that she doesn't have the opportunity to speak to often. as for socials, clove 100% reads as a loner type since she's not palatable to many whereas cato is possibly more socially successful. when they meet at the reaping and as they grow close through the games they both feel a heavier weight to their dynamic than with anyone else their age they interact with (largely because of the shared traumatic experience) and are so abnormal about each other.

Me and my neighbor have never really gotten along. I have a corviknight I adore and we go on frequent flies together. My neighbor doesn’t like this (I don’t know why) and it’s caused a lot of conflict. Recently, she’s just adopted in a Ditto originally from a breeder mill. Normally this would be fine but she keeps having it transform into a tinkaton when I’m about to take off, so I can’t fly without fear of both me and my corviknight getting injured. It’s seriously taking a toll on both of our wellbeings. He doesn’t feel comfortable taking off places other than our house so I can’t move or go elsewhere. Should I get the rangers involved or is there any legal action I can take?
yeah, this is something to call your local rangers about. rangers aren't law enforcement themselves, but one of the requirements of establishing an official ranger union in a region is a partnership with the region's judicial system. this partnership gives rangers the authority to investigate and enter private property without owner permission provided with the exception of going inside private residential buildings. this is how rangers are able to cross property lines if needed while trying to rescue or subdue a pokemon. of course, if he tells them to leave or refuses to talk to them, they can't do anything about that themselves- but rangers know who exactly to call if a situation escalates and can help you establish a case if necessary.
i don't know what region you're in, but a lot of regions have some some manner of law governing pokemon-based conflict with neighbors. for example, in paldea we have laws that pertain to the level of disturbance a trainer's pokemon causes to the surrounding properties by its mere presence, and in your case that would be the path i'd pursue. depending on the region you're in, it may be a pretty serious legal offense to have a member of the tinkaton line or a pokemon transformed to look like one (this is mostly in regions where corviknight are used as transport pokemon).
granted, your neighbor may have a case against you as well if your corviknight taking off is causing a significant disturbance to her life too. but given how this situation has already escalated, i think the two of you would do best talking this out with a mediator before any real legal action is taken- and the rangers will happily act as that mediator for you.

Pokemon Headcannons
Pokemon Rangers are not affiliated with the Pokemon League.
In the games they seem to be a separate organisation with ranks and stuff independent of the League.
Instead they operate as a separate organisation, more akin to an environmental protection agency/rescue service/charity thing. They focus on preserving nature as it is and thus are sometimes at conflict with the Pokemon League which will remove and relocate Pokemon sometimes.
The Pokemon League oversees Trainers, Gym leaders, the League Trainers like the Gym leaders and Elite Four, and various other jobs related to Pokemon Training and Batteling.
Pet Pokemon - Pokemon that do not battle as their Trainers do not have a licence - are monitored by the League and by the law enforcement in the area.
Rangers are a newer organisation, created after the Capture Styler was established. They work alongside law enforcement and often take on issues that take extended periods of time - such as tracking down and protecting Mythical Pokemon and important Pokemon/landmarks that preserve the nature in the area (think the various tribes of Pokemon in various jungles in the anime/the Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden).
Rangers typical deal with natural disasters and poachers and the League typically deals with things like Pokemon safety under their Trainers, Pokemon thieves, illegal Trainers, etc.

i need ur thoughts on what a post-canon (post-raylan) tim would be like (for science)
hi justie (justified bestie) 🖤
let's do some science! i really truly feel 100% in my heart that Tim "powder keg" Gutterson finally blows within 2-3 months of Raylan leaving for Miami.
that's with my givenson shipper hat on and off.
i feel Tim's due for a blow-up + burn out (season 4 teased us SO BAD with it and did a whole ass set-up and never went anywhere with it RIP) and Raylan's leaving (whether or not they were fucking or broke up or went LDR or never speak again) is the perfect catalyst for that.
in their last scene together, Tim is visibly distraught. boy swallows down a lump and makes himself not cry. what's all this then??
Tim is weird in season 6 and not in his usual gay little weirdo way. i mean he's concerning "oh i'd consider him a suicide risk" way.
he spends season 4/5 on the ratty side with his hair and then come season 6 he has a minor glow-up. they go back to styling his hair, his face has that clean-cut boy scout look again, he's back in layers (though to be fair this could just be because the show is trying to trick us into believing it's winter time and they're not shooting in California 🫠), and there's just something a lil feral in the way he speaks/acts that makes me think he's shaking a warning bell.
sure, we could attribute it all to some behind the scenes change regarding the crew or cast (i'm not sure here but someday i want to research the makeup and costume department to see who's who there exactly you know).
however, i think the tidying up Tim does to his appearance in season 6 is just a band-aid over how unwell he's doing mentally and emotionally. looking fine on the outside, but sick on the inside.
i think whether it was romantic or platonic, Raylan leaving is a big loss for Tim and he doesn't adjust well to losing his desk mate and deputy partner.
i'd say it really makes Tim have to confront and process Mark's death (and might also bring up his daddy's death and the death or loss of anyone else he's ever served with) and Tim just...doesn't do well with that on his own.
i like to imagine it triggers Tim's alcoholism big time and its a speedy spiral. does something extremely stupid (drunk driving again, fight at a bar, suicide attempt). he ends up in rehab or a psych ward or goes on leave from work. something that gets him some help with the alcohol + PTSD so he does some measure of healing to make himself functional again.
i don't think Tim stays in Lexington or even Kentucky post-canon. we know there's no family tying Tim there (if it was his hometown or home state they would have said so -- the US marshals apparently love to assign deputies to where they grew up). i think the Lexington office is just Tim's initial duty station and he'll move on once he's eligible to leave.
i like to think after Tim shapes up and sorts himself out a bit, he ends up out west in a big city like LA. or once he qualifies he's pulled into something like SOG due to his skillset.
to me, Tim's a lifer in law enforcement and he'd stick with the US marshals. long-term, i love the idea that he ends up settling down in Louisiana and becomes some sort of teacher/trainer at Camp Beauregard for the marshals.
and I really do believe Tim stays Tim for his whole life. i think he stays a little weirdo and he's forever closeted at work. i can't see him undergoing any softening or massive change as he gets older.
i also think alcohol and his PTSD is a lifelong struggle for him, but he does get better about making local connections with veteran support groups and gets himself a real friend or two through some nerdy hobby (he seems like a prime candidate to do D&D or something) or at a shooting range.
anyways, there's my post-canon Tim talk 🤠
