There should be little rewards for when I do certain milestones of this project. Like after I finish this next one it'll be just 365 left (one year worth of days) so I'm going to get me a cake!

crazy how many of my favorite pokemon to use come from gen five. i really really like the route pokemon from sinnoh (staraptor best bird forever <3) but in terms of actually battling in survival mode it's all gen five all the way

galvantula, ferrothorn, jellicent, chandelure, eelektross, excadrill, mienshao... my beloved flying gem acrobatics archeops.... and contrary serperior is very fun.....

[ilaiyayaya]

It's crazy how wearing at least 1 piece of clothing that doesn't make me want to hang myself feels kinda good sometimes who would've guessed?

IT'S TOO BIG MAKE IT SMALLER I DON'T WANT IT TO TAKE UP MY ENTIRE MONITOR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Still kinda look bad, but like slightly less bad than average! If I don't remember to stop walking in circles and delete this within an hour I'll die a painful gory death and my corpse will idk I didn't think of an end to this sentence I'm just procrastinating posting this. I would just, not post it but I NEED to gain more confidence in looking at pictures of myself and mirrors and also not hiding all evidence of my physical existence.

Also unrelated ToT Pokemon AU is coming along with another PowerPoint (The strongest graphic design tool) and like as much as it makes sense for Rosa to have probably like…something cute. Idk.

I dunno. I gave her an archeops and dragapult. Because I decided that she does Pokemon competitively and she could fold the rest of these nerds no problem.

Also as a direct contrast Artem is piss poor at it not because of any lack of skill it’s just that he keeps overthinking it and then his Applin faints.

Ampharos for blorbo bingo

Go off my friend

why thank you, friend! Im going to take my sweet time with this..... (spoiler for psmd below)

im so normal over him, im so insane. I just want to grab him and throw him like a milk soaked plushie before shaking him around in between my mouth like a goddamn beast but I also want to hug him and give him hot chocolate bcz he absolutely deserves and needs it (you CANNOT convince me this man is okay. no one in the society is.) Just thinking about him is making me feral, like im not okay about this man just a0afioaf0wfaoifafasofasoAHHHHHHHHHHH

honestly, how tf did Spike Chunsoft create him? like, This man should not exist. He is somehow someone who is both so fuckin cool AND an unserious goofball at the same time?? hes a brave and prideful traveller who calls himself"The Dashing Wanderer", despite the irony of being a bumbling klutz who knocks into everything and everyone with the worse sense of direction known to earth (that serene village scene still linger in my mind). He has created elaborate plans worthy of a mastermind despite losing over half of his friends and under pressure of the END OF THE GODDAMN WORLD, while simultaneously being the goofiest member of the entire society (which, mind you, hes the leader of), AND he drops some of the best and most hillarios lines in the game (the infamous "Nice to meet you, oh wait, no its not" line, which, btw is directed towards Nuzleaf, someone who could have TURNED THEM TO STONE at a moments notice like this man has no chill and balls of steel)

however, his most important character trait, imho, and is the one that binds it all together and makes him such a lovable character is how much he genuinely cares for his friends. He could be everything I said above and he would be a great character, but his genuine care for the expedition society members is what puts him over the top (at least for me). the way how he gets worried that they might ditch him when he says hes there manager, how he gives hero hope after Partners death, how he helps set up partners return, how he gets overjoyed upon seeing hero and partner return safely after dark matter he runs full speed and launches partner away (god that scene really show how much he loves and cares for hero partner like akfaofhapsufaifefhdkjfjafapipufaIuahpOiuhiU)

god I love this lovable goofball so much its insane adiqoqsda hes just afaufsfahofhduifshfiuhirshiafoejqow GOD JUST AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i am confused

Making this its own separate post + expanding on it so it doesn’t get lost in the quagmire that is the book 7 part 8 update 💀

Feel free to let me know your own thoughts or theories too, I’m just rambling here.

***Spoilers below the cut!!***

So like… Is anyone else confused as to how Silver can use his UM Meet in a Dream so many times with NO ONE making a comment about how he's building up a considerable amount of blot???????

Vargas Camp seems to suggest that using one's UM typically uses up a considerable amount of magic compared to a non-UM spell. (The boys felt it would be dangerous to cast UM without at least a sizable magestone.) This is not true of all UMs though; Kalim's Oasis Maker, for example, allows him to offer up a small amount of magic to produce a great amount of water. So let's say for argument's sake that Silver's UM is similar to Kalim's and does not require a ton of magic per use. (Edit: this detail is confirmed true in the recent update.)

But??? That still doesn't make a ton of sense???? Silver was in constant battles against Silver Owls while in Lilia's dream, meaning he is physically being chipped away at. No matter how physically fit, capable, or well-trained he is, Silver is only human and his stamina and perseverance has its limits. He also suffered immense emotional distress in Lilia's dream after realizing that he is the son of the man who killed Malleus's mother ON TOP of having doubts that he is worthy of Lilia's love AND fixating on how no matter how hard he tries, he can never truly "pay back" his father. I guess it can be argued that the pixies healed them on their trek (+ there was that one scene where Lilia and co. rest in a Silver Owls camp) and that Silver "got over" his feelings after Sebek shouted at him about how much Silver is loved... Even then, that's not really a good explanation??? Silver climbed up those daunting mountains surrounding Castle Blackscale--mountains which have oppressive magic that harms humans. This is POST-pixie encounter, so he'd still be walking in with damage from that, not to mention the blow of lightning magic he took from Maleanor???? I'd also think that while Sebek's pep talk (well, pep shout) helped clear Silver's head, it wouldn't invoke a sudden character change on the spot; Silver would no doubt still have lingering feelings and would need time to properly sort them out and reconcile with them. They haven't been addressed in full yet, at least not until Silver can like get some closure on his own terms, maybe by sitting down and talking with Lilia about everything they learned. (That's definitely a topic for post book 7 though.) Now think about how many times Silver is expected to use his UM. At minimum, he has already used it 4 times (to show up in Yuu's dream, then to hop into Sebek's dream, then Lilia's, then Idia's). In the most recent update, Silver has used it no less than an additional 4 times (to jump from Idia's dream to Epel's, then to Rook's, then to Vil's, then to presumably a Scarabia boy's which is where the next update will likely pick up). THAT'S ALREADY 8 TIMES????? And he has like 11 or 12 more dreams to visit, including having to jump back to Idia’s dream and then prep for fighting Malleus???? It's like 20 times Silver is expected to use his UM, with very little down time in between because... oh yeah, TWISTED WONDERLAND IS ABOUT TO HAVE ETERNAL NAP TIME IF THEY DON'T HURRY TF UP 🤡 That's not even mentioning the increased loads each time Silver casts his UM (since they're collecting students like Pokemon to gang up on Malleus). If previous UMs imply anything, more people should make it more difficult to pull off a spell. Ruggie had to use a magic-enhancing potion to control a whole statium, Cater is strained the more clones he creates at any given time. Jamil's hypnosis magic cast upon a group causes him to accumulate blot so much faster. Shouldn't this be a major concern for Silver??????? Should I be concerned for Silver????????

Don't get me wrong, I love that we're able to dream hop and see what each of the main cast characters are dreaming of, but 💦 I don't know if I should be worried or not about Silver's health???????? Because I could see why the devs would just hand wave it off in this instance (cuz how else are they going to travel to each dream and save the world? They're kind of on a time crunch here...), but at the same time I can see it going the other way and sort of breaking immersion?? Unless this is all intentional and they're going to jumpscare us with a Silver OB or him struggling against it later in book 7 💀 (I mean... the guy hasn't gotten his limited SSR for book 7 yet, so maybe it'll be related to this???)

Or is it just possible for him to break the limits of his magic since this is a dream...? We’ve seen other characters OB at will and be able to seemingly stay rational while in that form... but if that's the case, then why does Silver still feel tired and physically worn down in Lilia's dream after fighting so much? Why do they worry about taking too many hits and actually dying within the dreams? Can't he theoretically stay at "perfect" health after using his magic so much???

Does it not count as using “real” magic since they’re in a dream and therefore have much more flexibility in how they spellcast?? Or is it that it’s their dream!selves casting so it’s not real magic since it’s not their physical forms spellcasting…? Is blot accumulation slowed since Silver is technically sleeping and rest helps with healing from blot?? But then how does that impact their real bodies if at all?

I DON'T KNOW, I'M CONFUSED OTL
