U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping
If you all will allow me a moment to analyze the competition as it exists, there's something interesting going on with the numbers.
As we all know, thanks to the support of the good people of Tumblr, Tylenol has experienced a meteoric rise to second place. Even though her competition is stiff, I believe in Tylenol's ability to go the distance.
But let's take a look at the competition:
Elmer seems to be a lovely boy. I have no qualms with Elmer, and think he would look fantastic on a beer can. But what about Elmer's campaigns? Who is the power behind the throne here, and how have they managed to find such breakout success on this competition?
A handful of wealthy donors are trying to buy this competition.
At the end of the day, all donations are good donations here. This is a charity event so every penny earned is going to help animals in need. But it's not lost on me that Elmer's current ranking is thanks entirely to a few individuals with the financial means to put their thumbs on the scale.
Tylenol's donors, comparatively, are small and numerous, mostly $1-10 donations from many passionate believers in what she stands for (autism and pain relief I think).
Overall, the donations tell a very different story than what the base ranking shows you. Elmer is held aloft by just 24 donors and bolstered by a few wealthy patrons, whereas Tylenol has won the hearts of literally hundreds of people. Even the current third place, Abby, owes her ranking to numerous small contributions rather than one or two large ones.
She finally gets a piece of finished art 💜Little bit of talking about the clothes under the cut.
[Legends Z-A Postgame spoilers]
Her satchel is a gift from Urbain, to replace the one he gave her on her first day in Lumiose. Lena's previous satchel was damaged beyond proper repair while dealing with the Rogue Mega evolutions, but it was a gift from the boy she had a crush on so she patched it up as best she could.... with duct tape. Urbain felt somewhat responsible for this, seeing as it's HIS fault she's in this whole mess in the first place, and seeing how she clearly loved her first one, he was going to buy her a new one so she didn't have to use her literally falling apart bag.
Lida put a stop to his plans once she found out, seeing her chance to play a little behind the scenes matchmaker. She knew there was something between them, it wasn't hard to tell and they really, really sucked at hiding it. She encouraged (read: forced) Urbain to pick a different bag, something that suits Lena more now that he knows her as a friend! Pick out something that goes with her style more than the utilitarian one she had before! You know she likes to dress nicely!
It took Urbain four days to pick out a new gift. Over the course of his search, he realized that he didn't know Lena as well as he thought he did. Just surface level things, or seeing her as she presents herself in the Z-A Royale, not as Lena the teenaged girl. After wracking his brain for days, he finally succeeded in finding something for her - a cute, black fabric pouch, trimmed with scallops and with gold coloured hardware on its quilted surface. It was hard to explain in the moment just why he had picked it out, especially when he saw Lena's face as she unwrapped the tissue paper from the bag. She wears black in the Z-A, so this won't stand out! But it's cute enough you can wear it daily, right? Needless to say, she adores her new satchel and it never leaves her waistband.
#1 is her post-game outfit, when she's attending school in Lumiose City for hospitality because SOMEONE'S gotta run that hotel. Throwing on her boyfriend's jacket to keep her warm in the evenings for errands and picking him up from Quasartico for his internship.
#2 , #4 and #5 are just casual clothes, something day to day she would wear from the time she arrived in Lumiose. The hat is the same as her Z-A Royale outfit, she's trying to get used to it because she's never seen herself as a "hat person" before...
#3 is her Special Z-A Battle Royale Outfit™. Originally, Lena wore the lime green Team MZ jacket gifted to her by Urbain, but she found out pretty quickly that the neon material doesn't lend itself to sneaking around the battle zones in the dark very well. She was determined to go as far as she could up the ladder, so she knew she needed a new plan. Plus, it doesn't hurt to look really cool like everyone else who attains high rank. Although she was hesitant, she approached Naveen to ask for help both in navigating the sprawl of shopping areas, as well as for a local's fashion sense. The resulting outfit isn't her usual style, but it has the added benefit of helping her 'get into character' whenever she puts it on before heading out at night. She's still not sure about the sunglasses, Naveen. Sorry. They'll grow on her eventually. Probably.
