[sparkliest-bard-bracket]

Congratulations to ✨FREDDIE MERCURY✨ for being crowned the ✨SPARKLIEST BARD✨ in all the land!!!!

🎶HE. IS. THE CHAMPION. 🎶

Over the course of this bracket, he has faced off against many worthy bards, including an inter-dimensional storyteller, multiple irl musical artists, an immortal musically talented war criminal, and a muppet, and he proved himself to be the most sparkliest of them all.

Excellent singing, excellent piano playing, excellent songwriting, excellent fashion sense, and overall ~glamour~, Freddie Mercury has it all. Here are some of my favorite of Freddie's bardly moments, and feel free to reblog and add your own to celebrate our Bardly Champion!:

And to honor Freddie Mercury's wonderful legacy, I present my favorite Bohemian Rhapsody video ever -- he didn't even need to be alive to have a concert!:

And while we celebrate and throw a Queen-themed party for our Champion of Bards, do not forget to give a round of applause to all of the incredible bards who participated in this bardly showdown!! You can find all of their names and fandoms, along with the full completed bracket under the cut :D

That's all from me for now, folks!! I may make a poll for 3rd place if people are interested, and if people are very enthusiastic, I might make a round 2: fictional characters only! Lemme know if you'd be interested in either of those things, and thank you oh so much for your support through this whole bracket, and have a wonderful day all you fantastic bards and bard fans!!!

battle of the battle themes

I've been following these poll tourneys very closely and got an idea for one of my own! I love video game OST's and thought it'd be fun to make one about that, especially since music has been a less explored venue than characters.

Qualifications:

Must be from a video game

Must coincide with some kind of battle with the video game's enemies. Something that hypes you up and makes you feel unstoppable!

General battle themes or boss fight themes welcome

Some examples I had in mind: With Twilight of the Gods from Shadows of Valentia, God Shattering Star from Fire Emblem Three Houses, Song of the Ancients (Fate) from Nier Replicant/Gestalt

Y'all can submit those or whatever you want! In fact I'm excited to find new OST's to listen to!

Rules:

I won't tolerate any rudeness or toxicity. Any offenders will be blocked.

No botting/cheating either, please. Let's just have a fun time here.

No video games that are very NSFW in nature please!

You can only submit your song once but you are free to send in multiple. Basically, no flooding with a repeat confession.

Propaganda is welcome, especially during the submission phase if you want a song submitted- though for the most part the music will be speaking for itself I think!

This is something very new for me and I don't rlly know much about tournament seeding or w/e so it'll probably be randomized. Please be patient with me!

Submissions have been closed early so I can include more people- sorry about that!

I'm of the opinion that society only became ready for characters like Mickey Mouse and Popeye to be in the public domain now, and no sooner.

When you look back on the copyright extension acts of decades past, I think maybe, just maybe, it was a good thing for Mickey Mouse. To be clear, this isn't about how these copyright extensions benefitted the Disney Company financially. I'm talking about Mickey as a fictional character, about the artists and creators, not the CEOs. I'm not thinking of Mickey as some kind of idealistic, free-for-all-people sort of thing, but as a work of art. Disney was only just getting back on its feet in the 1980s, after a long period of stale, formulaic, somewhat low-effort films and comics. If Mickey Mouse had gone public domain soon after Mickey's Christmas Carol had been released, Disney would've lost control of their flagship character during a time when they were just figuring what to do with him again. I think this would've made Disney's Renaissance era just a little bit worse. I couldn't tell you how exactly, since that would be mere speculation, but they may have been less inclined to build Mickey's Toontown or reprint Floyd Gottfredson comics, or anything like that.

The same thing goes for the late 1990s. If they had lost Mickey then, I have a feeling that wonderful cartoons like Runaway Brain and House of Mouse would've been less likely to have been made.

Here's what I'm thinking: Say that a Steamboat Willie horror movie had been made in, I dunno, 1988. Coming right after or before Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Disney seeing their most famous character tainted by a slasher film probably would've taken the wind out of their sails. Would the Eisner-era "returning to their glory days" attitude have been so prevalent? The entire decade of animation might've looked a bit different.

Disney today is very, very different. While they still see dollar signs when it comes to Mickey, and they still make good quality cartoons with him in it, the last time Disney really cared about classic 1930s Mickey was in the late 2000s, around the time when Epic Mickey came out. A retro, proud-of-our-heritage version of Mickey is something Disney no longer cares about, which goes hand-in-hand with the revisionism that plague the remakes of their classic films. Despite the "Rebrushed" version of Epic Mickey, I don't think Disney really wants to be retro anymore.

The other half of the equation is the internet and its indie creators. Remix culture is basically a revival of how most humans made art throughout most of history- not trying to come up with an "original idea", but making something derivative of what came before. Critics who complain about "endless sequels and remakes" probably despise this idea, but the fact of the matter is that nothing is completely original, and stuff like YouTube Poop, video game music covers, memes, and fanart is the 21st century version of that. There's a feeling going around that big media corporations aren't truly making the content we want to see anymore, and I'm inclined to agree. Marvel movies have already peaked and have gone downhill, we seem to be burnt out on Star Wars, and Warner Bros. generally seems to hate animation nowadays. I've been waiting for Disney to relearn what makes Mickey Mouse great for years. A cartoon series equivalent to DuckTales (the original, mind you), adapting Floyd Gottfredson stories has been a pipe dream for some time now. Disney isn't going to make it, so I just might make animatics for that idea myself.

So that's my take on it. Public interest in using these characters is coming at the right time, in my opinion. There have been drawbacks of course, and I think sequel-haters are one of the biggest results, but did anyone else actually give a darn about the public domain until Winnie-the-Pooh was "set free"? I've been interested in the subject for over a decade myself, but I'm willing to bet most people weren't even aware of the concept until now. What I'm mainly concerned about is artistic integrity- Mickey being free to use doesn't mean that everybody's going to be thoughtful and tasteful. That much is obvious. As for Popeye, I'm gonna wait until the whole spinach thing, as well as Bluto and Wimpy, are in the public domain before I seriously consider using the character.

(PS To any jerks who think I'm some sort of corporate shill- read this a bit more carefully. There's plenty of criticisms of corportations littered throughout this, but I guess if you're too stupid to notice...)

[importedmeh]

I did not know I could upload videos I've made on here. I kinda do some Toontown music on the side. Fanmade, but a lil' something for ya'll to enjoy to. I'm more impressed by how this one came out.

Saying thank you over and over will never feel like enough. I cannot be more grateful to everyone who showed up to my subathon event this weekend. What I expcted to be a 1 day event became 3, the max goal of 50 I thought we'd reach with goals for 75 and 100 written as jokes became... well... On Friday you guys hit all the goals and you were still giving subs so I wanted to make more goals so the subs counted towards something and I let you guys in chat decide with me and for some reason you guys wanted merch of my ocs. So we made those extra goals. And we hit them all on Saturday. So we made more goals. And we hit all those on Sunday. So we made more goals. And we hit one more of those on Sunday. And I am blown away. Look at the the original subathon plan compared to what we ended up with. I thought at most we'd get 50 subs, and we ended up with 232!

I kept saying it during the subathon, but I'll keep saying: Thank you all so much. Whether you gave any subs, bits or Ko-Fi donations, whether you chatted or lurked, whether you just came along for the ride, thank you all so much. The majority if not all of this money raised is going into my moving out fund. For those who haven't been on stream I've been trying to get over staying scared and silent and have been opening up about currently living in an unhealthy household with an abusive family member and while I was aiming to move out within the next few years it's becoming apparent I need to get out of here a lot sooner and my current goal is to move out within a year. My Patreon is the majority of my income and thank you so much to my Patrons. As I always say in my Youtube outros if everyone who followed me gave me just £1 a month on Patreon that would help me out so much and allow me to move out and keep making audios, make more content, and make it in a better environment.

I have a lot of work to be getting on with now. We reached certain goals that mean I now have to get to work making keychains of Ambrose and Arden and stickers of all of my audio OCs, as well as art earned by the individual incentives and giveaways. If you qualified for any of the incentives or won any of the giveaways please reach out to me via Twitch, Tumblr, Discord or Twitter so I can get to work making your rewards. The keychains and stickers will be up in my Etsy shop when done and I'll make an announcement for them. If you gave any subs, bits or donations during the subathon event because we reached the 175 subs goal you're all entitled to a discount for my Etsy shop. I will try and reach out to everyone to give them the discount code but if don't receive one from me and you should please reach out to me.

Streams will be back to normal on Friday for more Alice Madness Returns, no stream on Saturday this week but there will be one on Sunday for the 40 sub goal reward as I will be playing Toontown Corporate Clash with chat, teaching anyone the ropes and helping them complete tasks. We've still yet to decide on a date for the Discord community game night but it'll within the next few weeks. My Discord is Patreon exclusive and we have a lot of fun in there. Starting in October I'm hosting watch party nights every week for every other month, meaning we did every week in October and then we'll be doing every week in December. The theme for December's watch parties is 'fairy tales' and we'll be watching musicals and ballets that fit that theme.

As always my Ko-Fi donations, audio and art commissions are open. I have a Patreon and an Etsy shop, and just watching my videos here gives me ad revenue.

Thank you again. I don't know what else to say. These three days of streaming have been the most fun I've had in a long time. Thank you to everyone who came along. I hope to continue creating content for you all. I'm so grateful for your kindness and generosity. ❤️

in my preteens i was so anxious and autistic that i got nervous watching music videos because there were real people in them so i listened to music exclusively through lyric videos and club penguin/toontown music videos

Toontown Rewritten Recap: January 2003 (Selfie Saga)

Okay so, whenever something happens in the real world, I’m gonna use the ACTUAL date. Otherwise, I’ll use the in-universe date. That's  gonna be relevant here in a second.

January 15, 2014

Sir Max’s real world counterpart/”actor”, Joey was interviewed for an article about Toontown Rewritten, and Sir Max posted a few of the questions and answers in the news blog. Click here to see them.

January 16, 2003

Sir Max snapped some photos of butterflies and mused about how interesting photography is thanks to how sights can change from day to day, especially in the tooniverse.

Especially when it comes to bugs that need to get squashed (not the butterflies).

On a related note, this update came with two bugfixes, and a new sound effect: taking screenshots now made a camera shutter sound.

January 17, 2003

Sir Max added a new camera angle (Front) and used it to take selfies. He then decided to add two more camera angles (Left and Right) to take better pictures.

He had done nothing but take selfies with these new camera angles for the past day.

He wanted people to get excited about these new snapshots, just not “angry mob” excited (unless it was related to those robots some of the players had been talking about). He even asked for feedback on how they could help toons make better photos and videos.

In terms of gameplay:

Hitting F3 would now hide the GUI for better pictures, but it was suggested that players turn the GUI back on before going back to gameplay.

Also, dog noses no longer appeared in camera from the first person POV.

January 18, 2003

Sir Max started off the blog post by listing off the three main milestones of development for Alpha. The first was the loading system (completed in 2002). Second was the Estates (done). Third and final was the battle system (still not implemented, as Toontown is a peaceful and happy place).

But yeah, the Estates have been completed. Each Toon is getting a house and some land around it, plus neighboring homes for close friends and family (read: the five other toons a player can make on their account).

However, furniture hadn’t yet been implemented, nor was the Cattlelog players could order from. In short, all of the houses are completely empty. Plus, the fishing ponds hadn’t been filled yet either. Essentially, it’s just an empty place where toons can chat with their friends.

(The fact that, much like in Toontown Online, Estates don’t have any music in Toontown Rewritten just made them kinda eerier, actually.)

In other news, a “Snapshots” page was added to the Shticker Book, allowing toons to store all the screenshots they’re taking. Sir Max has been filling his up pretty quickly! You can rename and delete your snapshots from here, and there’s even a button to open the folder in your file browser!

But yeah, the next few updates would be dedicated to the Estates.

January 19, 2003

45 minutes passed the normal news blog posting time, Muddy Paws made a post asking where in the name of Walt Sir Max had disappeared to.

In-game, portable holes could now teleport their users to their friends’ estates. Plus, when you left your own estate, your friends would be kicked out after 15 seconds instead of 5.

Aside from that, not much happened on this day.

January 20, 2003

Hawkheart revealed where Sir Max had disappeared to. He had basically been zipping all over Toontown (from the rooftops, to the mountain visible from Acorn Acres, to several underwater locales), and taking selfies. 452 selfies since the Silly Saturday Update that added the new camera angles.

They had found him half frozen in the Brrrgh.

Hawkheart then turned the news blog post into a PSA about selfie addiction.

January 21, 2003

Sir Max came back from Selfies Anonymous a changed toon, completely cured of his selfie addiction.

As soon as the others leave, Sir Max reveals the truth, he didn’t sit in on a single meeting. He broke out after 3 minutes.

How did he get away with that? Selfie Support Groups don’t have cameras of any kind on their premises, including security cameras, allowing Sir Max to have a cardboard cut out of himself sit in on the meetings while he left to do literally anything else.

He then went on to show off some of the selfies he took:

1.      Underwater at Donald’s Dock (he nearly drowned).

2.      On top of the roof of the home of Hawkheart’s friend, Spyro.

3.      At the peak of the mountain visible from Acorn Acres. He got frostbite, but didn’t pass out until he got to the Brrrgh after several hours.

And he still had 449 more selfies to show off!

He was cut off by the patchnotes. The only relevant here bit is that fishes were introduced to the Fishing Ponds at the Estates, meaning that all species could FINALLY be caught.

-

Rip because this was doubled (I edited it to have just a single so people don’t go ??? like I did lmao)

Fuckin Selfies Anonymous though!!

[yourbestpalpercy]

(I have decided to write yet again! Again, I’m going til I burn out!)

…The mist was heavy today.

Leaf had started making a habit of visiting the boatyard ever since the fight with Rainmaker. Honestly, next to her friends Mr. Toshio and Melody, Rainmaker, weirdly, felt like family. Probably because she reminded Leaf of her older sister. She missed her older sister.

Actually, she missed her entire family! As much as being teleported to ToonTown was an escapist’s dream, she missed her family.

Her mother bear of a mom, her sassy younger brother who was often playing video games, even her rather annoying baby brother. Not to mention her total badass of a dad. Yeah, she didn’t see him much but they spoke over messages often and sent memes and music recommendations back and forth constantly!

Leaf never had the chance to tell Rainmaker that she didn’t want to fight her unlike the toons she was paired with. It was just horrible luck that she was paired with murder hobos! …That was a DND term…did that even work for the Toons she was paired with when she took on that mission? All she remembered was “Here, you want to fight a Bossbot? Go solve the mist problem. You won’t be alone, here’s ���️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️, ⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️, and ⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️,” and that was it. They were off.

Leaf didn’t even know if Rainmaker noticed how anxious and finicky each one of her attacks were or how she sometimes tried to miss! She knew that her team noticed though. “OILLICKER!” They would sometimes say. It was an insult that they had come up with. Guess it was the ToonTown equivalent of Smokebreather from a book she liked. She couldn’t remember what Smokebreather translated to…

All Leaf knew was that every time she missed an attack, one of them would yell or mumble, “Oillicker”.

But today was a better day, maybe she could finally apologize to Rainmaker? …She approached the docks, listening to the waves to make sure she didn’t fall off. She didn’t like swimming in dark lakes or the ocean, just the mere thought of it sent severe shivers down her spine. Even worse were the thoughts of dropping stuff into those dark, calling waves. Eek! Stop thinking about that!! You’re on dry land!

Right…okay Leaf, she’s not on this dock but maybe she’s singing again? Rainmaker had a noticeable singing voice, one that sent shivers down her back the first time she heard it.

She stood at the edge of the dock, listening out for a singing voice as she peered into the water before her, watching them sweep against the wood.

It was a creeping feeling…the call of the void. She didn’t like it..

In the deep waters, she could see underwater plants that looked like hands. Hands that called for her to ‘Jump’, telling her to push herself underwater, to let it consume her. The water almost seemed inviting. It commanded her to just fall into the water and sink…

“Ip dip dip, my blue ship, sails on the water…”

The sound of Rainmaker’s singing woke Leaf up from her trance on the cold water. Leaf turned herself towards the sound before she ran off the dock to find where the voice was coming from. Sounded like…2 docks down maybe?

Leaf approached the voice carefully, staring into the mist. Her voice was caught in her throat. She struggled for a second before she finally croaked out, “r-...rainmaker?” The singing nearly instantly stopped. The mist seemed to invite her in.

Leaf carefully stepped forward into the mist, making sure she stayed focused on where her feet were, which way the boards were to avoid falling off. “..I have a visitor…” Rainmaker’s voice spoke.

Leaf felt a little sick to her stomach, even more so when she could see Rainmaker’s form in the mist. Her hair was mostly gray, the blue accent of her hair barely showed through. Rainmaker slowly turned her head to look at Leaf. “It’s you again. Did you come back to finish me off?” Rainmaker asked, almost coldly. Her yellow pupils made her almost look like a lake ghoul in the fog.

Leaf just shook her head. “U-Uhm…” It was honestly a miracle that Leaf could even hear Rainmaker over the sound of the waves that seemed much louder than even possible. “N-No I…” Where was that brilliant apology that Leaf had prepared in her head? Did the fog hide it or was she just…scared of Rainmaker?

“...I-I…I wanted to…t-to apologize…?” Leaf said. Anyone could see how scared she was. “I-..I don’t know if you he…heard me before th-the fight…b-but uhm…” If Leaf had explained what had happened that day, she couldn’t hear it herself.

“...” Rainmaker answered with silence, “‘Sorry’? …That’s new,” Leaf let out a huge sigh of relief. Honestly, part of her was expecting a ‘You think sorry is going to fix it!?’ kind of response but, the quiet ‘That’s new’ was much more comforting.

“I-I really…really didn’t want to fight you that day. I-I don’t know if you noticed, I rarely aimed for you and even when I did, I…I tried to miss.”

“I noticed it. I thought it was odd…”

“W-Well uh…I mainly did it because you reminded me of…” Did Leaf dare utter it? Even softly? “...” She whispered, she couldn’t hear it.

“What did you say…? The waves are awfully loud.”

“I-...I said you reminded me of m…my sister,” Leaf fidgeted with her hands. “I..I couldn’t attack you because of it. I-I have no idea wh-why you remind me of..of Lacy but..but you do. Sh-..She was the best sister ever and…” Leaf stopped talking. She noticed the Fog lifting a little bit with Rainmaker’s hair changing more blue and…were those purple accents?

“That’s even more new. I guess people like you are just…full of surprises.”

“Y-Yeah uhm…I-I’m Leaf. I also go by Soda though.”

“Leaf. How’d you get that nickname?”

“It’s an inside theater joke between me and my friends.”

“You seemed rather unhappy with those Toons. Are you sure those are your friends?”

“No!” Leaf was caught off guard before realizing how rude it must’ve sounded for her to shout like that, “I-I mean..no, sorry, y-you kinda caught me off guard. I-I hadn’t meant to say it so loud. I-I meant my friends from Earth. They’re much, much nicer. Those Toons I was paired with. N..Not my friends. I certainly wouldn’t stay in a friendship when I was constantly called an ‘Oillicker’.”

Rainmaker seemed to pick up on Leaf’s worry. “And Soda?”

“Admittedly, I thought the name was cute. Uhm…”

“It kinda is. …I’m Misty but the Toons call me Rainmaker.”

Leaf nodded. “Misty. Misty is a much better name than Rainmaker. …I don’t really understand why people dislike the rain so much. It’s pleasant. A-And it helps plants. Water in general is wonderful,” Leaf continued, inching a little closer to Misty. “...When it’s not moving…and deep, with a lot of terrifying creatures,” Leaf glanced off the dock and into the dark waters again.

“Do you…like swimming?” Misty asked. “You almost remind me of Mary. The Toons call her Deep Diver though.”

“I really like swimming when I’m in a swimming pool. I-..It’s pleasant. A-And clear. No dangers…” Leaf sat down near Misty. “There’s actually a place on Earth labeled as the deepest pool. A-And there’s things to explore in that pool. I-...I really wanted to go to it. Admittedly though, I-I don’t think I’ll be going home any time soon. Mr. Toshio and, I think, Melody are too busy fighting with The Resistance to be helping me go back home. Though hey, I don’t wanna leave until I’ve explored everything. O-On the map…I-I’ve had my eyes on Daffodil Gardens. It looks pleasant,” Leaf then remembered where Daffodil Gardens was right next to. “Even with the Cashbots right there,” Leaf added with annoyance in her voice.

“They’re not all bad I guess. Buck’s pretty nice.”

“Is Duck Shuffler a Cashbot? With his whole, gambling theme, he seems like he would fit right in.”

Misty looked back at Leaf. “Yes. That’s Buck. I don’t talk to him often though. I talk to Witchhunter,” Thunder suddenly crackled through as Misty added, “Usually unwillingly,” The thunder rolled away afterwards, “More than I do Buck.”

Witchhunter.

Leaf heard that name often. She first heard about him when Duck Shuffler (Buck?) was having a really rough day and Leaf approached to ask what happened.

“Witchhunter,” Duck Shuffler usually used their suitnames when he was talking to Leaf. He easily picked up on Leaf’s inability to remember their names well, “He’th awful…he hateth anyone who doethn’t agree with him..” Duck’s tongue was poked tiredly out of his mouth. “Witchhunter?” “We jutht got into a fight. All I thaid wath that I liked a thhow he hated…!” Duck Shuffler rested his beak in his hands. That was honestly the sanest Leaf had ever seen Duck.

“Witchhunter seems to be a name that comes up a lot when talking to the Cogs,” Leaf noted, humming a little.

“He’s utterly dreadful. None of the Cogs like him. Not even the Yesman!” Misty said. Leaf just sat in stunned silence for a bit. “Wow, y-you’ve gotta be on a whole ‘nother level of scummy to get those guys to hate you!” Leaf laughed, starting to giggle and snicker. “Even more unfortunately, we’re both Lawbots. I have to feel his glaring eyes whenever there’s a meeting. I-I wish I could just…not show up but I’m not ready to be fired yet.”

“Does he think you’re a witch?” Leaf already had an idea that Witchhunter was like those men from the Salem Witch Trials back on Earth.

“Right on the money, Leaf…” Misty groaned.

The two kept chatting and talking about various things for a little while. It honestly reminded Leaf of the days on Earth when Lacy would call and they would be able to ramble to their sister. The Mist slowly lifted up and the area started to look much clearer.

Then came a voice from behind. “Hey! Look, it’s the Oilicker and that Cry Baby Cog!” Leaf froze before turning back to face the voice. If looks could kill, the Toon before her would’ve been ash. Even if it was by accident.

“Leaf! Are you seriously going to join the Cogs? I thought you were against most of their ideology!” It was a deer Toon. Leaf huffed and stood up, “Clearly you didn’t hear me when I said that! I thought I was the deaf one here. Anyways, I said ‘I don’t really like what the Cashbots are doing to the trees,’ and another thing? I barely know anything about this world! I’ve only been here for a month!” Leaf gasped, trying not to shout too loud, just loud enough for her and the Toon to hear. She couldn’t remember the deer Toon’s name for the lids of her.

“Well the Lawbots aren’t much better. Didn’t where you come from make a transphobic law? I figured you’d hate them the most.”

“Did you forget that law no longer affects me? I can go by any damn pronouns I want here! I’m not in Montana anymore, now am I? And just because an awful law exists, doesn’t mean everything relating to the law is awful. Misty here sure as hell isn’t evil even if she works for a…” Leaf looked back at Misty, “Questionable company?” Misty just answered with a tiny shrug. Leaf crossed her arms as she looked back at the deer Toon. before reaching into her pocket and pulling out her prototype. It was a handheld speaker she simply called ‘LOUD’.

“Well still, I’m shocked the mayor is okay with an Oilicker running about..” The Toon shrugged. “I’m not an Oillicker for not wanting to hurt a few Cogs. I’d happily punch Witchhunter or Treekiller! Does that make you feel better, Mac? Or- whatever your name is!” The Toon huffed, looking a little annoyed before he just responded with, “Well, don’t come crawling back when you get the Chairman’s attention…” Leaf watched as he walked away.

Leaf hadn’t noticed it but behind her, she could hear thunder rolling behind her and even saw some lighting flash. Storm Cell? Leaf looked back over and saw that Misty’s hair was bright blue with many more lightning bolts in it. The rain already began to pour down slowly. “...You stood up for yourself…a-and me. I could never do that…” Misty mumbled to herself, almost quiet enough for Leaf not to be able to hear her.

“I still don’t like how he talked to you. I wish I stuck a thunder cloud onto him. He attacked me the most last time…” Misty kept grumbling to herself, the roll of thunder laced the air. “I’m pretty sure that’s how he treats everyone. I think he was born the wrong species,” Leaf chuckled.

“How do you just…brush off such words?”

“I’ve been bullied a lot. Guess it’s finally sunk in that I don’t have to say nothing, I can talk.”

Misty only nodded before sighing as a propeller slowly came from her head. “Mhm, I’ll see you another day, Leaf…thank you for apologizing…” And with that, Leaf watched Misty fly away.
