me when i remember that technically while mars + the giants are technically immortal, mercury, venus, and earth have a time limit and must be aware of it and i wonder what that does to their psyches knowing that they'll die eventually

I really truly still can't get over the Legends Z-A announcement. Everything about it. ULTIMATE Crazy ass moments in Pokemon history. We had Unova game vs. Johto game rumors and theories flying around for half a goddamn YEAR. People were pointing out paintings of Lugia and Ho-oh in Detective Pikachu 2, Kitakami's dex full of Johto 'mons, Indigo Disk's 32847872 Unova references, the Paradox Legendary Johto AND Unova Trios. The OFFICIAL POKEMON TWITTER was posting cryptic gifs of Reshiram and Zekrom in the weeks leading up to Pokemon Day. The day before the stream people were waving around 4chan "leaks" of Legends Celebi, ILCA BW remakes, Black & White 3. None of us went into that direct knowing what we were gonna get.
And then it was Pokemon Day and the Pokemon Presents premieres and it's start to finish full of Johto nods, Unowns bouncing around and Raikou in Pkmn Sleep and Silver in Masters. They slap THIS FUCKER up there seconds before the final teaser trailer of the stream.
And then we get that teaser.
And then we get hit with "Lumiose City"
And then It's not Johto. It's not Unova. It's the region we haven't seen in an actual literal decade.
And then a single letter changes everything.
AND THEN THE HITS JUST KEEP COMING ONE AFTER ANOTHER. Legends "Z-A." The A looks like the Ultimate Weapon. Releasing 2025. Not this year. For once in so, so long a Pokemon mainline game isn't coming this year. It's like exhaling a breath I didn't know I was holding. The screen goes black and every expectation we could have possible have has been flung out a Kalos-shaped window.
And then they give us one last little treat for the road
Just an absolutely unbelievable presentation. They played us like complete fiddles. They're sending our asses to FRANCE. And I can't help but smile so big just thinkin about it!! This is the first Pokemon announcement I've seen in YEARS where the majority of folks have been not just surprised but this joyful, EXHILARATED surprised, just absolutely going nuts over 10 years of memes and jokes and game wishes that are finally getting their due. And it's just infectious. There's something really magical in the comradery and shared excitement and I'm never gonna forget it. I love Pokemon. Welcome back and welcome home, Zygarde.

i have an update for you guys but unfortunately it’s not a good one </3
my laptop, which i use for writing, is pretty old and has been in poor condition for a long time now but these last few weeks it’s been especially rough and i think it finally keeled over for good. i can no longer get it to turn on. i don’t have the kind of money that would allow me to replace it any time soon, but i might be able to get my grandma’s old desktop this weekend to use for writing.
if that doesn’t go to plan, sckl will have to be put on an indefinite hiatus until i can figure something out. i’ve been trying to use my phone to write when my laptop gives me issues but it’s really difficult for me (hence why the chapter is still not ready) so . :/
i’ll post an update after this weekend to tell yall if i was able to get the desktop or if sckl will be put on an official pause. i’m so sorry about this. this summer has been overwhelming and stressful in ways i have never experienced before and this was truly the worst way to finish off the season 😭 im really upset about it and wish i had the chapter ready for you guys now, but thank you for always being patient and understanding with me. fingers crossed shit works out🤞❤️

hi ever!! ive been following your blog since early 2021 i think (im bad with time so bare with me here) but i just wanted to say your art is Incredible. the composition, color choices, lineart and shading always blow me away. did you go to college or any art schools or are you entirely self taught?
and another question; are you moving on from xiaoven, or do you ever plan to? your xiaoven work is my favourite <3
tysm for sharing your work with us!! best of luck ^_^
i'm self taught! if u draw literal hundreds of pictures of your favorite blorbo over seven years you will definitely improve in all of those things...!!
i'm returning to xiaoven, actually... lol some friends and i are currently organizing an xvx fan event right now!! we're still working on the back end stuff, but we'll be posting event info in the next couple weeks. i hope lots of people will participate, either to visit or to also exhibit their xvx works! if hyv won't give us any new venti or xiao crumbs we will, in the time honored tradition of xiaoven fans, simply make it ourselves <3
(and thank you! i know i haven't been posting much... but i promise i've been busy :'))

anyways i love you people that are both gay and straight, in whatever way that presents. being nonbinary often can mean a complicated relationship to sexuality and how one perceives it within the societal restrictions of homo and heterosexual, and i think bridging those definitions and having "contradictory" labels like lesboy or whatever is really cool. i support and stan he/him lesbians or butch lesbians or she/her gay men or femme gays or she/he pronoun users and whatever else, be it cis or trans or both. if you feel like youre both cis and trans that also rocks. dont let people force you back into a binary within the queer community, stay strong!

I said I was gonna sleep but I lied. Anyways!!
HAZEL OFFICIAL REDESIGN RAAHH
She's the Captain of the Royal Guard of her home planet, which is still currently unnamed.... The Queen's wellbeing is her number one priority, and she takes her job very seriously. On top of being a Captain, she also takes a liking to the Bounty Hunting business, and is the reason Elora left her home planet (and has a golden tooth.)

will forever thinking about morgan refusing to leave dr. brazier's side while the bomb under her seat is being defused.
i didn't get a good screenshot of it, but he's also holding her hand the whole time.
and then the way he hugs her??
keep in mind he Just met this woman. he has no emotional connection to her beyond the fact that she is a person in distress and he is a person who cares. there is a bomb under her seat that could go off if she moves wrong or they fail to defuse it. if that happens, it will kill her, and almost certainly him too. he doesn't care. he kneels outside her car and holds her hand while she prays because he will not let her be afraid alone. he will not let her die alone, if it comes to that. derek morgan the bottomless well of compassion you are.
