Do NOT declaw your Skitties and Liepards, the fuck's wrong with you?

okay so. one thing i should mention about bluebell, now that she's evolved is...well, i'm not quite sure what it is, but while some of her shiny coloration came off as a ferroseed, it's been comin' off in patches on her now as a ferrothorn? but i think some of it might be there to stay; they seem really deeply embedded and i'm hopin' evolution didn't fuck her up like that :( i even kept an everstone on her and everything, but there was an incident with a wild tinkaton and it just happened...

but!! a couple of the professors and teachers have taken a bit of an interest in bluebell, though, and i've been doing everything i can to help with emotional and physical therapy for her! the physical side is going well, despite it all, actually? she's not in physical pain at least from what everyone's been saying, and we've been tryin' to find some suitable ways to teach her how to battle. she can actually hold back some now!!

the only real problem seems to be emotionally. it's probably, um, really understandable that she has trouble managing her emotions, but she has some really massive mood swing issues that we're working on. i think the conditioning is...mostly broken, but she's not good at regulating herself. she gets stressed real easily and it's actually why lulu's not just trained as my support anymore; he's hers, too, and bouton's doin' everything he can to help too. while every day brings new challenges, i'm glad to keep bein' by her side :)

i am thinkin' it's time for her to get a new nickname, though. anyone got any suggestions?

hi all! back in unova on my unovan league challenge, finally. so out of pure curiosity, nothing else, i’m wondering if any of you have any ideas as to where one might obtain a snag ball here in unova? or maybe a straight up master ball? legally or perhaps.. dubiously legal?

i know that sounds bad, and really vague, i just.. need to get a pokémon out of a bad situation. that’s all i’ll say on it for now.

my pelipper mail is open in case anyone happens to have either ball or even something similar i can borrow. i can pay for it & return it as well if needed

[anaptian-champion]

well why dont you prove that your precious devil dog is so well-behaved and bring her out for us?

what so you punks can fucking attack her???

no thanks 🖕

(Discussing some my experiences with finding comfort in PMD while growing up in a hostile environment)

CW mentions of CSA, physical abuse, verbal abuse

During this time period my sister also died, I lost quite a few of my siblings, I was subject to severe ableism from aforementioned "father", very weird threats. I could go on and on there was a lot of bad

CW over

Nowadays I'm in a much better place both physically and mentally, I thank you my friends and my ma. I had PMD Explorers of Sky as a child and played all the time, it really shaped who I am today and I learned to stay alive from that game. I found comfort in all the characters, Chatot was also a big one surprisingly HAHA!

I hope this was not too upsetting of a post, "dadnoir' stuff really sticks out to me nowadays because I use to imagine him so much when I was scared... I was actually really scared of Dusknoir as a kid for a while, but then I played special episode 5 and he became a big source of peace and comfort after that. I liked how he changed and became good. I'm no stranger to doing absurd things out of fear and wanting to stay alive, I came to respect and understand him quickly.

Anyways, that was a big post ahhh, I hope you have a nice day! Do take care of yourself, you're cherished

Eevee line trainers are some of the most annoying people on the planet. They're fine pokemon but the people who own them (especially if they have several) make that their only personality trait. It's also so obvious that so many of them only care for their pokemon because they're cute. I always wonder what they'll do once their espeon starts getting old and saggy and gray, or if their leafeon starts getting ugly reoccurring cysts, or if their umbreon has to get a body part removed due to tumors.

I stopped by Prof. Oak's lab earlier, and he was telling me about how he just got two elderly and disabled flareon that'd been found dumped on the side of the road in a crate. Perfectly kind pokemon, just not too pretty anymore or battle ready. And they were abandoned for it, literally left to die. There was a note on the crate that confirmed they weren't wanted anymore, so we know it wasn't an accident. (There's an active search for the trainer(s), happened south of Viridian City, so if anyone knows anything, feel free to call the authorities there I guess.)

I'm sure plenty of eevee+ trainers are perfectly great; I've met several over the years that really do love and care for their pokemon. But there are still a large amount of them that only value their pokemon as objects rather than companions.

oh thank ARC he doesn't have access to the Hydreigon anymore!! ...well, at least not in your timeline. damn multiversal shenanigans...

i gotta be honest, i didn't really know much about what Ghetsis did, so this is pretty new to me...

it makes me feel sick, honestly.

im sorry, WHAT? his Hydreigon uses Frustration at full power??? //@anaptian-champion

Allegedly, yeah.

Having seen the poor thing... I can believe it. The state of his hydreigon... well. It's the reason even the staunchest believers in our ideology largely shunned Ghetsis after finding out what he did to it.

In my time, at least... the pokemon in question is recovering. Apparently the new unovan champion-- kid who dresses like a princess and specializes in dragon types? She took him in, basically went, "Hi sweetheart, I know your trust and your hope have been broken, but I'm going to respect your boundaries and show you it's okay to live again. Here's a casteliacone. You never have to battle if you don't want to."

domi sent me this. last trailcam photo before the camera overheated and presumably melted.

fuck my entire life.

something about destiny

part 1: here

[team-ex-rocket]

I have an Overkwil now, no "friendship" needed.

[anaptian-champion]

Yeesh, kinda makes me think of this guy I battled a while back; he forced all his Pokemon to fight like savages and his Nidorino actually ended up puncturing Galvan (my Jolteon)'s foreleg pretty severely...

He's actually where I got Donner from; he had run away from the bastard while he was still a Luxio and I basically adopted him.

And now, funnily enough, Galvan and Donner are basically inseparable; Donner definitely shows signs of trauma still but he's doing a lot better now, and I think I have Galvan to thank for most of that.

Mister Bane Phobia tell us one of your greatest victories against Pokémon abusers and users

The greatest? There's been so many.

Hmm... There was once a huge trail of illegal fighting rings through Kalos that Noctis and I effectively dismanteled. I don't mean like typical battling, I mean the kind of bastards that let their Pokémon fight to the death. Longest trip of my arcdamn life!

[coldslaws-gear-station]

Yk, something I feel like I haven't elaborated very much on in my Upside Down AU is the reason why Alder's such a twat at the start, it sorta feels like I just made him a dick because I could when that's not true at all

Because Floccesy town (where he's from in this AU) isn't at all what it's like in canon. Since it's cut off from the rest of the region and only became recognised in bw2 the people there became... Off (Cw warnings for the paragraphs with * btw!)

*Food was scarce, so they'd hunt quite literally any Pokemon they could get their hands on, as medicine was also scarce. They couldn't go forging without the risk of poisoned or such by a venipede or something, if you were infected then it's game over. There used to be Deerling near the town until they hunted it to extinction, lucky enough purrloin and patrat breed large enough litters to not go extinct.

*You were only respected for how much you could contribute, if you could sew, grow, or anything important you were seen as an asset and something to be respected. If not? Game over, they can't handle overpopulation with food so low. You weren't seen as a true person, but an asset, luckily Alder knew how to sew.

*Not only that but some people would raid other's houses for valuables to sell on the market, but most of the time it was to find meat, food. Leaving your house for too long was risky, though some don't even wait till you leave.

So he grew up thinking that Pokemon being scared and frightened of you was normal. He grew up thinking that being overprotective of everything he owns was normal. He thought how he was raised was normal.

Eventually he did manage to leave and climb the ladder up to the champion's position. That's why he never leaves the room, he thinks if he does somebody would come in and steal his position, what's his, and the UD elite four enable that.

It wasn't until the Valley did he realise that, that's not normal. How he was raised wasn't normal, Pokemon being frightened all the time isn't normal. But in the elite they're always frightened? That isn't okay, that isn't normal, something needed to change.

There's so many fractions to him, he's like my favourite of the UD characters to write about. He's complex and I love that. I also loosely modelled him after N as he takes his role in the story. Raised in a bad way, thinks it's normal, finds out it's not normal, makes considerable efforts to change how they originally thought and make the world safer.

He also has a mouth that'd make a sailor blush, cussing was a norm where he was raised. Though after UD Ghetsis established a "swear jar" he quickly learns to not swear, though he slips up every now and then. He still has slip ups in his old habits, though UD Ghetsis is always there to remind him to be more soft and gentle, he's trying, that's what matters.

waking up in the morning to this and trying to read it all had me like /lh aff HSHFSJJFJD

but yeah all that really makes sense! i like it! very lowkey apocalypse esque which i am a sucker for survival scenarios. no wonder he sucks<3 i also kinda don't blame him for basically camping out in the champion's room afterwards tbh even if he was a dick for it. like yeah he sucks but he worked hard to survive and subsequently earn his position, whether or not he did that in the wrong sort of way by being, i imagine, not very kind to his own pokemon in the process. like dudes traumatized. goes from a broken up village to a group of 4 scumbags. you can't really say he got a fair opportunity to see outsiders perspectives during his backstory, much like n went straight from his room to trying to find the dragons to kill with, and the only person to really try and intervene and appeal to their sensibilities (more than just one time at least) was hilbert

swear jar.. thank you ghetsis very cool. he got his own get rich quick scheme out of alder /lh

[A package arrives! It contains...

- a large, thick, cosy blanket. Get comfy with bluebell with it. It's spikes shouldnt be able to get through it, so don't worry about hugging if you're in it. Let Bluebell cry that stress away. Who knows how much of it has built up because of.. whatever team glitter has done.

- some metal polish with extra grit for your orthworm, to give it an extra lil treat next time there's a spa day ^^

- a bag full of various pokemon shaped silly bands!]

anon, you are an actual, literal lifesaver and i love you forever ;A;

she's...actually snuggling into the blanket okay, still bawling but it's a little more controlled. it's definitely helping her, i think, just...to be able to express all of it, even if it isn't intentional. i just feel like shit for pushing her, even if i tried to be gentle as possible

i'll gladly give lulu a good polishing next time we get the chance, though!! and i appreciate the silly bands, they're so so so cute!!

cw: abuse

i rewatched holy matrimony today and frankly i think we need to talk about it more

[anaptian-champion]

// the reason Donner has chronic pain is because Sam (@thatguyfromsinnoh) frequently fed him rare candies

// it caused his growth to accelerate so quickly it caused damage to his muscles. its why he's so bulky compared to other Luxray, but he also needs to keep his muscles active so they don't atrophy on him

PSA

I am willing to state this for the sake of the information about to follow: I was a runaway for a period of time during my youth due to a number of circumstances that eventually ended in my emancipation.

That having been said, please understand that someone who is extremely nervous about others seeing them, especially when a single person is brought up in those conversations, may be someone running away from a bad situation. Due to this, subjects related to self confidence, self esteem, and activities good for their mental health need to be handled with a delicate touch.

There is a very real issue of being forcibly returned to an abusive home by the state. Harboring a runaway is legally kidnapping, even if that is objectively the moral thing to do in the situation at hand in almost all jurisdictions. I was fortunate enough to have someone take me in for a time despite the fact they were breaking the law to do so. Legally, he kidnapped me. Morally? He was key in getting out of the horrible situation. That said, the point is that runaways from abuse will experience legal persecution as well as retribution from their abusers. This will have mental impacts to say the least.

Please stop and think when you spot someone extremely skittish. Think about why they might be that way. It may be for other reasons, but there almost always is some reason for that sort of behavior. The majority of them are ones that require discretion in how you interact.

It is also almost always important to center them being the ones making the choices as best you can. Exceptions are unlikely to occur online. Please simply... stop and assess something such as that fully before acting or talking.
