A person going by the name Tash (lpevhybrid) just emailed me some new pictures from a visit they had at the Pokémon Center NY store in June 2003! Really amazing stuff! I’m totally in love with the photos of the plush “Giants” and the animatronics!

[ariadosanon]

[Pelipper mail!

It’s a box, filled to the brim with various treats and trinkets for Pokemon. Chew toys designed to withstand a Hydreigon, a treat puzzle for Ariados, whatever would qualify as a snack for a Porygon, even something for Darling.

There’s a note attached. It reads:

“My condolences. I’m sorry it had to end this way.

- Jon”]

…. Huh.

Didn’t really see this coming. I expected some kind of threat of pipe murder situation.

Thanks. @a-lost-archivist the team appreciates it.

Respect.

[prof-snakewood]

Snakewood. Considering several blatantly incorrect posts on your blog, I feel the need to make one thing abundantly clear to you.

The first is that my decisions last night were mine, and mine alone. I was made well aware of the risks, directly told by several people to leave well enough alone, and I ignored them. I acted on impulse, and I paid for it.

What happened last night was entirely my fault, and not the fault of the researchers who ,for the record, knew far better than you did. The Zoroark and his kit are alive because of them. So I don’t want to hear you running your damn mouth and blaming them for my inability to think.

- Jonathan Sims (@a-lost-archivist)

How good to see you’re well enough to insult me, and attempt to cover the asses of the people threatening me with bodily harm.

So good to hear your side of the story. I certainly didn’t mean any harm by my comments.

I have no further commentary on your message. Especially given it’s quite rude, and takes my concern in poor faith.

Hm.

[antimony-medusa]

Okay so I was never really in fandom before I discovered MCYT, and one of the things that just delights me is how it seems that the longer you're in the fandom— three years and counting for me— the more likely you are to spec into some kind of job.

So like I've gone into event running and exchange participation, and then there are people who've specced into becoming archivists, and the people who do the wiki, and the people who run update accounts, and the people who reblog literally every piece of art in the tag for their guys, and the people who update a fic once a week, and the artists who take requests, and the people who organize and run zines, and the people who moderate fandom servers, and the people who liveblog, and the people who run RP blogs, and the tag wranglers and stats analysis people, and the people who do huevember, and the people who sign up for every zine, and like— we're all evolving like eeve pokémons into fandom stage "been here a while", specialization x. I just find that so fun.

So my question is, if you share my specific derangement and you gave yourself a job, what's your specialization What job did you give yourself?

Hi I’m back, who wants to hear my first thoughts on S5? Of course you do 🙌

MAG 169: Fire Escape

I actually hated this episode so much, The Desolation really makes me sick to my stomach. But! Jude Perry!! God I love her, she’s so terrifying. Even till the end, she was a mocking asshole. Although she even offered to help. I wonder what would’ve happened if Jon accepted. Hope someone has an au of that

MAG 170: Recollections

Oh my god Martin please.

The fact he kept remembering Jon over and over again and then his little attempt at the end to keep remembering him, oh my god I can’t do this. “I’m in love” OH MY GOD

I still want to know the deal with those tape recorders. I know they are with The Eye but they feel conscious. Maybe they’re like all the past archivists but there shouldn’t be that many (ex. That ep with Jon in the coffin) so really, I have no clue

MAG 171: The Gardener

This was much more disturbing than I thought. And yo! Jared Hopworth! He’s really collecting jobs like they are Pokémon, huh.

A mutual pointed out how a lot of the recent statements are in different styles like how this one is in the style of a nature documentary which is just…so funny to me. Like get Jon a voice acting job

The episode was pretty horrifying. Jared sounded like so caring to the plant-human things and I think that’s almost as bad as plain violence. Funny how he wasn’t even mad he was getting smote. The fact his last words were “grow well, my darlings. Grow well” like fuck you ughhh I wish we had more time with him but I guess not

I guess killing the avatars aren’t really helping the bystanders. So what can you do? Take them from the source. They should make a camp down in the tunnels to keep innocent people

Okay that’s everything. I did only 3 episodes because Jared’s episode was like a little too disturbing for me 💀 I’ll see you guys soon, I’m going on a 9 hour car ride so I’ll probably listen to episodes then

[pokemon-magnus]

After over a year and a half of pre-production, I am pleased to finally be able to unveil Pokémon Magnus! This fangame explores what would have happened if the last season of The Magnus Archives went... a little differently.

Look at him go! Gotta fear 'em all, Archivist!

Now that I have a functioning proof-of-concept for soundtrack, spritework, and code, I'm fully switching gears to proper game development. I'm aiming to have a demo featuring the intro sequence and first gym(s) in the coming months!

If you'd like to know more about latis, Ms Maple of @may-maple-blog has posted quite a bit about them. She can answer questions on this topic, as well.

[Video ID:]

The video begins centered on Zinnia, with Maxie speaking from off-camera.

MAXIE: So, since the Mirage Sea is unique to Hoenn, would you mind sharing a little more about it?

ZINNIA: Sure! The Mirage Sea surrounds Hoenn on all sides, with some gaps, and it's a pretty spooky place! There are established trade routes that pass by it, but never through it. GPS doesn't work in the Mirages, and compasses have a tendency to spin wildly. Some people who have survived being lost recall that not just darkness, but nighttime descends very suddenly once you've crossed the border into the Mirage Sea. [She holds one finger up and the other hand behind her back.] However! There are certain species of pokémon that can navigate them.

She moves toward a mural, and the camera follows to focus on the spot she points at. The painting depicts what appears to be some sort of flying animal or pokémon.

ZINNIA: The latis are the most well-known species that inhabit the Mirage Sea. [She smiles mischievously, directing her next words to Maxie.] But I bet you know all about those, don't you?

MAXIE: [Flatly.] Our audience may not.

ZINNIA: Alright, alright. So, latis--or latios and latias, depending on their coloration--are dragons. They're sapient, and have their own culture completely divorced from that of humans. They're also psychic, which is pretty cool! Anyway, aside from a certain group of humans who I'll get to in a second, latis are the only known sapient inhabitants of the Mirage Sea. Rayquaza can also navigate them, naturally, but we're not really sure where it is when it's not very kindly doing something for the Hoennic people.

She claps her hands together, grinning.

ZINNIA: Now! You may be wondering, if the latis are pokémon, don't they have human partners sometimes? And the answer to that is yes! Ancient Draconids and other Hoennic people were frequently partnered with latis, and as such had access to the Mirage Sea. When exploring the Mirages today, you can see the ruins of their outposts on certain islands.

MAXIE: As a Draconid yourself, and a Lorekeeper at that, have you ever been to the Mirages?

ZINNIA: [Her smile grows.] Astute question, Mr Archivist. I have. Though we've somewhat fallen out of contact with the various lati flocks that travel across Hoenn, we do have records--stories--of where they frequent. Right after I became a Lorekeeper, I decided we needed to reconnect. So Thistle and I set off across the ocean, and encountered a flock pretty quickly. Their flight paths haven't really changed over the years, apparently. They weren't very familiar with humans, but they let me stick with them for a few days to see what I could see.

Her smile grows wistful.

ZINNIA: Man, it's nice to be able to just take off into nature, isn't it? Anyway, the Mirage Sea is beautiful. It's untouched wilderness. The ocean stretches on forever. You can see so many stars, and they're so different from the ones you get used to here. I had copies of some old starcharts from when the Draconids still sailed the Mirages. They mapped constellations you just don't see here.

She hesitates for a long moment, and then perks up again.

ZINNIA: Anyway! Pretty wild, huh? [She frowns playfully.] Hey, am I gonna get to ask you any questions, or is this a one sided kinda thing?

[End video ID.]

[unethicallypleistocene]

If you want to (no pressure).... plot bunny for the Night At The Museum universe?

Oh hey thank you!

name: Tern Ridley

age: 32

sexuality: Bisexual

job: Archivist

love interest: Amelia Earhart

5 adjectives to describe them: Soft-spoken, standoffish, loyal, meticulous, determined.

Tern has spent 4 years at the Smithsonian, and hasn't once stayed past sunset. When they decide to work past closing time on a newly acquired photograph collection, some small things start to put them off. Small things such as the loud lute music coming from upstairs. They assume it's nothing, until the decaying photographs begin moving. Well, Tern remembers their dead grandmother telling them to quit playing Pokémon at her funeral, so this isn't the weirdest thing that's ever happened to them. By a small margin. In any case, their job security matters more to them than their sanity.

I had uploaded the Spanish-language version of this video to the Pokémon Center NY Historical Website a while ago, but, last night, I found it in English! For some context: this clip is part of a UK promotional video for the release of Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. The video footage in this clip was taken at the official Pokémon Center NY launch party of Ruby and Sapphire in 2003. ❤️💙

Is this all it takes to irritate you? That’s honestly sad.

The EEVEE post is probably my most popular post. Why, you may wonder? It’s because the love for these THINGS is absolutely CULT LIKE. They have a DRACONIAN GRIP on the public. FUCK those things.

[team-unity-pkmn]

This ah... excuse my bluntness, but this feels very cult-ish in nature, and very purposefully vague. Mind elaborating on any aspect of your plan for "unity"?

-@a-lost-archivist

Of course. We simply wish for humans and Pokémon to coexist more peacefully. No more attacks. No more poaching. No more abuse.

Jonathan 'The Archivist' Sims collects peculiar scars like Pokémon Cards.

[a-lost-archivist]

You know what? I'm not even going to bother arguing. You know damn well what you did.

The implication behind being ‘chosen’ by a Pokémon is that, in some respect, you could theoretically chose a Pokémon back with enough of your dedicated time.

After all, it would have to notice you eventually, wouldn’t it?

Whether that would work as a method of becoming a chosen, or finding out that you are a chosen is up for debate (or even research.)

But, who has the grants for something like that. It simply doesn’t ’benefit society…’ Or so the main lab says.
