**Random Pokémon fun fact**

In Pokémon X and Y, in Anistar city theres a small side quest the player can participate in

In one of the houses you can find a lone old man speaking to him, he laments the passing of his wife recently. Noticing the Player character is a Pokémon trainer he will ask the player to lend him a baby Pokémon. Any Pokémon will work as long as it’s between LVs 1 to 5. After lending him the Pokémon he will overjoyed at your kindness, he’ll ask you to visit him in the future

After a set amount of time if the player visits the old man you discover the old man isn’t there and an item will be where he once stood, picking up the item you realize its not an item it’s the Pokémon you lent to the old man with a note. The note implies that the old man had passed away but the Pokémon you had gave him made him smile until the very end

While the Pokémon you gave old man will not gain any levels it will have maximum happiness

costume changes are the best

as an avid consumer of this podcast*, one of my greatest frustrations is that it is an audio medium. i like being able to see my fantasy obsessions. HOWEVER. one of my greatest delights is when they describe how things look. and the things I spend the most time trying to imagine are (of course) the characters! so my favorite moments include COSTUME CHANGES because I get to imagine the characters!! in great detail!! and then draw them!! and I will never cease to be delighted by their outfits. so never ever stop.

*should probably clarify that the podcast is legendlark. just in case

Attention Pennsylvania voters!

Senator Bob Casey’s race is now at a margin of 0.53%.

An automatic recount in PA is triggered with a margin of 0.5%. That’s a difference of 0.03% or a little over 2,000 votes. We need to make sure every ballot is counted here, and there’s thousands of uncounted ballots right now due to voter error.

Did you mail in a ballot? Check to see it was accepted here:

If it says anything other than accepted/counted/etc, your ballot needs your attention. A mistake in filling it out means that your ballot will not count unless you “cure” it. Check your county’s curing policies:

See full instructions for curing by county here.

You have until November 12 to cure your ballot in PA.

Do you know someone who mailed in a PA ballot? Please pass these links on to them. You may be the difference between their vote counting or not in a super close race.

Everyone else, you can help PA voters cure their ballots. If you live in Pennsylvania, you can help canvass in your county (see links in this thread). If you are in another state, you can sign up to call voters and help them cure by phone.

Want to help another state? Sign up for a shift through November 19.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

I hate being a person who loves bugs, I can't say anything without the person I'm talking to reacting with disgust. Today I had to literally beg a coworker for the life of a spider, and then after I put it in a nook outside she thought it'd be funny to show me a video she took of her killing one. Like idk man. Birds scare the shit out of me but I still get why people love them. They come in pretty colors and they sound nice and they're interesting to observe. I don't understand why people don't feel the same about bugs. The rich amber color of a cockroach, the iridescent glow of a fly, the intricate hydraulics that power their little legs, the chirp of a beetle, the art of the spider's web... It's all so beautiful. Why is it the habit of so many to destroy?

your stitches are good, but not the best - your hands are twitching to the beat of your heart. but they're going to be perfect soon, whether you want them to be or not.

got all my attention fixed on you (and you're just where you said you'd be) by nevermordor is a great zolu fic from Luffy's pov!!

Its interesting how most zolu fics seem to be from zoro's pov. I understand people want the angst but I wanna read from the pov of an adhd luffy realising how much he loves his first mate and how clingy zoro is
