Basic ideas/refs for my Pokémon ocs (what I have of them so far at least)

• Järkäle (conkeldurr). She/her. Butch.

- Name is a word used to refer to very large rocks (boulders) but also huge things in general.

- Pondering and sentimental. Stoic on the surface but intense underneath. Extremely determined, hard headed and kinda audacious. Brave. Very compassionate and cares deeply but it's easy to forget, and she often doubts if she's a good enough person. Tries to keep her cool. Wears a pink ribbon always

• Raitio (Gurdurr). They/them mainly but he is fine. Nonbinary/questioning.

- Name is Rail-, as in railways, as in train things.

- Skittish but puts on a brave face and uses intimidation more than anything to get by. Sweet and sensitive but also moody and whiny. Fearful. Really insecure but is good at giving others a chance and forgives error from them fairly easily. Very approachable if they drop the scary face.

• Järkäle is a guardian figure and the only family of Raitio, whom she's raised since being a Timburr. They live together in the wilderness, despite their kind usually being found near urban areas due to their construction skills. They're averse to interacting with humans, Järkäle due to being very wary, and Raitio due to being fearful. They live near a railway station where Raitio hatched. Järkäle has built them a home.

/////

• Pamela (Probopass). She/her mainly. Butch lesbian.

- Named after her good looks.

- Calm, determined and easygoing. Trusting. Usually anchors turbulent situations. Really easy to talk to, non judgmental. Has a tendency to stand still when moving on would be better, since it's hard for her to forget the past. She seems to have things figured out but she's often unsure about the big things in life. Due to her uncertainty she simply goes along when life gives her lemons.

• Taikuri (Dusknoir) she/xe or any neos. Name still pending I'm not 100% sure about it. Gendersomething lesbian.

- name means "Magician".

- Volatile and highly emotional. Depends on others heavily despite being extremely prideful. Struggles with honesty and being open, and can act brashly or too hastily. Due to often flip flopping between emotions, she gets frustrated easily but also moves on easily, and doesn't tend to hold grudges. Wants to be treated nicer but is bad at being nice herself. Way more pathetic than she lets on.

• Pamela and Taikuri are a couple, living together in an abandoned house. It's very remote but not so much so that humans wouldn't pass by semi frequently. The couple is in good graces with the locals and respected by humans. Attempting to capture them would be seen as disrespectful, though they do friendly battles with trainers sometimes. Taikuri likes making the house very spooky and has this whole show going on about being a great magician and fortune teller, though alot of it is just surface glitter and she's kind of a sham. Pamela acts as xer henchman / bodyguard / houseguard, and can usually be seen patrolling or standing outside their residence. They are trusting of the local humans, but prefer to keep their distance.

”Valiokunta ei ole selvästi ymmärtänyt, mitä EU-oikeuden etusijaperiaate tarkoittaa. Jos suomalainen lainsäädäntö on ristiriidassa EU-oikeuden kanssa, silloin kansallinen lainsäädäntö jätetään noudattamatta ja niin myös tämän lain kanssa pitäisi toimia”, Raitio sanoo valiokunnan maanantaina valmistuneen mietinnön pohjalta.

”EU-oikeuden näkökulmasta on aivan käsittämätöntä, että ajatellaan, että Suomessa voisi edes viiden kuudesosan enemmistöllä päättää, että EU-oikeus ei yhtäkkiä jossain tilanteessa pädekään. Mitä jos kaikki jäsenmaat toimisivat samoin?”

-

”Koko mietintö on EU-oikeudellisesta näkökulmasta täysin kestämätön ja tulkinnallisesti ilmiselvästi virheellinen. Käytännössä tämä johtaa siihen, että lakia ei pystytä tehokkaasti soveltamaan”, Leino-Sandberg toteaa.

”Yleisvaikutelma on, ettei EU-oikeuteen liittyviä ongelmia ole varsinaisesti edes pyritty ratkaisemaan, vaan ennemmin keskitytään perustelemaan, miksi laki voidaan EU-oikeudesta huolimatta säätää”, Sormunen puolestaan sanoo.

-

EU-OIKEUDEN näkökulmasta poikkeuslaki voisi aiheuttaa ongelmia sekä rajavartijoille että suomalaisille hallintotuomioistuimille. HS:n haastattelemien oikeustieteilijöiden mukaan rajavartijat eivät käytännössä voi soveltaa poikkeuslakia rikkomatta samalla EU-oikeutta ja Suomen kansainvälisiä sitoumuksia.

”Ja tämä päätös pitäisi tehdä itsenäisesti ja sen hyvin lyhyen vuorovaikutustilanteen aikana ennen kuin maahantulija palautetaan takaisin itärajan toiselle puolelle. Yksittäisen rajavartijan näkökulmasta tilanne on aivan todella huono”, Leino-Sandberg toteaa.

Rajavartijoiden tavoin myös tuomioistuinten tulee perustaa toimintansa lakiin.

”Jos tämä asia menisi tavalla tai toisella suomalaiseen hallintotuomioistuimeen, olen vakuuttunut, että hallintotuomioistuin noudattaisi EU-oikeutta siinä tilanteessa ja ottaisi valituksen käsiteltäväkseen laista riippumatta”, Raitio arvioi.

-

HALLINTOVALIOKUNNAN mietinnön mukaan EU-tuomioistuimen tähänastiset ratkaisut ”eivät ole koskeneet suoraan välineellistettyä maahantuloa, joka tehdään osana vieraan valtion vihamielistä vaikuttamista”. Leino-Sandbergin, Sormusen ja Raition mukaan tämä ei pidä paikkaansa.

”EU:n toimielimissä ja Valko-Venäjän toimien kohteena olleissa maissa tilanne on määritelty hybridivaikuttamiseksi ja välineellistetyksi maahantuloksi. Tämän on tuonut esiin sekä komission puheenjohtaja Ursula von der Leyen että Puolan, Liettuan että Latvian hallitukset”, Leino-Sandberg sanoo viitaten tuoreeseen Liettuaa koskeneeseen ratkaisuun.

Leino-Sandberg ei myöskään näe syytä sille, miksi tuomioistuimen pitäisi puhua ratkaisutekstissään erikseen hybridioperaatiosta, kun EU-oikeuden näkökulmasta sillä ei ole merkitystä yksittäisten ihmisten oikeuksien kannalta.

”Väite, että samantyyppistä tilannetta ei olisi käsitelty ei yksinkertaisesti pidä paikkaansa. Tietenkin jokainen tapaus käsitellään erikseen, mutta ei se silti tarkoita, että jäsenvaltiot voivat säätää millaisia lakeja haluavat omiin tilanteisiinsa.”

So basically I think I'm gonna have my Pokémon characters be based on the plushies I have, and the personalities I gave them. However the key word is Based here. To give myself as much creative freedom as possible (and also bc the plushies are very personal very comfort items to me), they won't be one and the same, and the character versions will likely form into their own thing. Kinda like if these ocs were an alternate universe version of them where they're not plushies. Base personality but have their own story. Alright? Alright.

Width to height is a delicate ratio for burgers.

Wide burgers require a similarly wide bun, which can easily result in too high a raitio of bun to meat.

Tall burgers can be contained on a standard sized bun, but if made too tall they become difficult to eat.

Both wide and tall must be embraced in order to achieve the perfect balance.

Which is better? Burgers that are wider(having a greater diameter) or burgers that are taller(from bottom bun to top bun)?

Wider, but there are limits to everything.

2016 fic in review

2016 fic in review

I was tagged by my love and writing shishou @megabadbunny

total number of stories (completed/WIPs):

4 completed/ 3 WIPs

total word count:

15,930 from the completed stories, 42,453 in Kaleidoscope Heart, 4,085 in my two drabble WIPs. 

Grand total: 62,468

fandoms written in:

Ghost Hunt, Star Wars

looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected?

Hmm, I wrote more but didn’t get as far as I had thought I would. All my side projects slowed KH down, but the slowdown did force me to really take the time to consider each chapter. 

what’s your own favorite story of the year?

Oh man. I am going to have to say Shadows of the Heart. Just because it is so silly and tropey and over the top. And it was a lot of fun to write. But the triplets in Smile are a very very close second.

did you take any writing risks this year?

Uhh, if you consider deliberately playing with tropes a risk then, yes? Otherwise, no? I have noticed my style evolve in KH over the almost year and a half that I have been putting it out. But I don’t think that is a risk.

do you have any fanfic or profit goals for the new year?

Well, I really want to finish KH and if I can get that done soon enough then I would like to start on my original novel. I also have 3 news fics that I haven’t started writing for yet and only exist in outline form. I also have my two WIPs that I would like to finish. So yes, I have lots of goals. 

best story of the year?

What is the difference in criteria between fave and best?The work I am most proud of the most would still have to be KH. I am finally starting to write payoffs for the groundwork that I laid in chapters I published over a year ago. It is certainly the most detailed and nuanced of my stories. Though working with presenting the use of three in Waltz was a super fun personal challenge.

most popular story of the year?

Well, Kaleidoscope Heart always gets the most views, but it is also the biggest and the oldest.  Waltz has the best view/number of words raitio. So really I think it would count as the winner. 

story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:

Hmm, from this year? Uh, maybe Smile. Only in the sense that there are a number of ‘jokes’ or ‘easter eggs’ in the story and not all of them have been pointed out as being noticed so I have to assume that most if not all people are missing those little tidbits. 

most fun story to write:

Oh for sure Shadows of the Heart.

story with the single sexiest moment:

HAHAHAHA again,  Shadows of the Heart. Though sexy isn’t exactly something to expect in my stories for the GH fandom. Ace characters make for less sexy writing times.

most sweet story:

My first thought was, Smile, but then I remembered how sweet Waltz was. I think I am going to have to go with the second just because the shipper in me is a sucker for those moments of unabashed tender openness between Naru and Mai. I made sure to get a glimpse of that with Naru in Smile , but it was more pronounced in Waltz.

”holy crap, that’s wrong, even for you!” story:

hmmm, I don’t think I did any of thing that would qualify for this this year. I sure almost did with a SW kylux smut, but alas I had no time to really work on it. I know, the world weeps, right?

story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters & most unintentionally telling story:

Well, that would probably be KH. Seeing the heavy change in Mai between the first arc and the second. The sort of slow but progressive unraveling of Oliver as he is forced more and more to acknowledge and attempt to understand things that he can’t just logic away or have someone else take care of for him. For both of them this story has turned into a tale about growing up. They have much farther to go. But it has been fun watching them so far. 

hardest story to write:

Also KH, Every time I have gone in with an outline for a chapter I come out with something different. And yes, I know that chapters are often different from the outline. But these are key changes, plot changes, that I didn’t get to see until the characters were bringing them to me. I mean, I am glad that they happened( boy am I), but they do make for slow going when you get halfway through a chapter and a character says, “but I need you to mention this” And I’m like “well I didn’t think it was that important, it was kind of a throwaway mention.”

And they point out “Maybe you haven’t seen it but, this has gotten me through a lot and sometimes I’m not sure I can keep going. But this, it keeps me going, keeps me honest, or at least it helps me build the courage so that I can be, one day. So mention this.” 

Then my spouse is like “it’s 2am why are you getting out of bed?” And I just turn on the tea kettle to a grumpy mumble of “try to sleep at somepoint,ok?”

biggest disappointment:

I have to agree with my shishou’s reply I am sad at how little I have read, both published works and fanfiction, this past year. I mean, I’m a writer, I love stories so not reading is less than ideal. 

I find it very hard to read fic when I am writing though because, as she also mentioned, I don’t want to accidently influence my own ideas/styles/tones/etc.

But uhh writing wise I am gonna be a big old butt and say I wasn’t disappointed with anything I was able to get out- wait! that’s it! I am disappointed that I didn’t get more out or get KH done. 

biggest surprise:

Writing a fic about Mai and Naru having triplets. That is NOT something I ever thought I would write. Though the trope fic, Shadows of the Heart , was so fun I decided I wanted to play with tropes and silliness again.

[light-and-heartful]

You know I had this idea for a spin-off show to Hamtaro that’s based off the Ham-Ham Games

it would basically be like Laff-A-Lympics, where the show is more focused on the characters competing in a competition rather telling a story, while still keeping the characters and humor charming like a Saturday Morning Cartoon (just watch some episodes of Laff-A-Lympics & you’ll know what I mean)

basically each week the four teams from the game (all wearing their own multicolored jersey that looks like the flags they use to represent their team) will compete in a 4 or 6 events in different parts of the world (using Bo’s Rainbow Magic to get there) and each week they’ll go to two different locations between each commercial break (so they’ll be 2 or 3 events in one place to start the day off, a commercial break, and then 2 or 3 events in another place to end the day’s games) and since the competitors are hamsters all the events are all mini-sized, so you can have a race sliding down the library of congress’s stair railing on blank note-cards, an animal race across Africa where each ham chooses a different animal to race on, a chariot race across Central Park, an RC Car race in the concession hallways of the Indianapolis Speedway with one ham riding in the  car while the other team members control it, a Bull-Fight where the Bull is a Wild Kitten that each ham has to get the bell of her color in the quickest time, a Picture Taking Scavenger Hunt in Smithsonian Museum where teams of two have to take pictures of the exhibits on their list, and a whole bunch more

and the way it works is that depending on the place you get on each event you get points [1st place gets 20 pts, 2nd place gets 15 pts, 3rd place gets 10 pts, and last place gets 5 pts (with some events having some exceptions like being scored a set amount of points based on the score you do on the event itself)] and whoever has the most points at the end of the day wins the Ham-Ham Gold Medal for the day, and in Japan they would have a PlayDa system to the show as well, it’s these TV remotes in Japan that during a premiere episode of certain shows they’ll tell you to press ether a Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green button on the remote by the end of the show, and if you guess it right when they say it after the credits, you are eligible to win a prize, only for this show they’ll have you guessing who will win today’s games by the end of the episode (with Red representing Team Seaham, Blue representing Team Rainbow, Yellow representing Team Ham-Ham, & Green representing Team D-Jungle) to be eligible to win a prize, and they all have an even Win-Loss Raitio so it’s anyone’s guess

and it’s hosted by Sparkle and Master Matsu, with the occasional special guest Judge and/or Demonstrator of the event helping out (and it’s usually one of the other Ham-Hams who aren’t competing, like Stan, Sandy, Panda, Dexter, Howdy, Maxwell, etc...)

do you think that would be good?

Day 1: Hamha!

Something I made but forgot to post. I'm going to do digital inktober with the ham-hams!
