“Every Pokemon is someone’s favourite” I’m making a spreadsheet to see if this is true. Reblog with your favourite Pokemon in the tags.

Here’s the spreadsheet in-progress

[grootficguy]

Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:

A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.

A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.

I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.

... that seems wrong

With Putin in charge? No, that’s about right.

I will never understand people who like the winter. This shit sucks. It should be 80 degrees every day and luscious and beautiful outside

[alexanderkrizak]

My body is a furnace. If the temperature goes over 60° in Weird Brine Units or 20° in proper Celsius, I start to overheat. And while you can always put more clothing on when it’s cold, there is a social limit and, if you’re willing to go past that, a physical limit to how much clothing you can take off.

good job spain, no one is gonna dare take that lake from you

Nobody expects the Spanish lake submersion!

With half the sets being Universes Beyond and not having Planeswalkers on them, will the new default be two planeswalkers per in-universe set (so the average is still one per set)?

We are moving to that, yes.

[reddurcs]

This brings up an interesting idea. Why aren't there UB Planeswalkers? Especially in IPs like Spider-Man that have multiverses, Wizards could absolutely make them

[alexanderkrizak]

Mark has said before that they want to keep planeswalkers as an iconic element of the Magic multiverse, a point of distinction between the Magic world and the Universes Beyond. (The D&D planeswalkers are now considered a mistake.)

GOON

YOU'RE FREE

[alexanderkrizak]

At my work, we once carried surge protectors and other products from a brand called Go On. Except it was spelled in all caps and with no space. On the packaging elements, the GO would be in blue and the ON in blue, splitting the phrase into its two words, but on the products themselves...

akari: so after we got seventeen plates volo and i went up to spear pillar and—

laventon: spear what

[alexanderkrizak]

No bootstrap paradox here. Remember, someone else came up with the name “Spear Pillar”…

[alexanderkrizak]

While many Pokémon cycled through my team in Pokemon Legends Z-A, in the end I settled on these six, with my main criteria being that they had to have a new Mega Evolution. Ampharos was the exception, as they are my favourite Pokémon of all time.

That’s fine, but you have to put on this outfit first.

why are time loops always only like 1 day long?

the real horror is a months or years long time loop. no speedrunning your torture here. you have to sit with the consequences of your actions for a loooong time before the release of knowing the consequences and actions have been erased.

but oh, all the actions and consequences are gone. those relationships you built? empty. you can never build them again without the constant guilt of knowing that it's not as real the second, third, thirtieth time when you already know all their secrets and they none of yours.

but you can't hide. you can't isolate yourself because what if this is the time the loop breaks and then what? years gone by of missed chances with people who have changed you a thousand times and now circumstances have changed. you can never build back what was washed away by your own inaction. they'll never be able to meet you like they did the first time if you don't choose to meet them the first time every time

[alexanderkrizak]

A time loop I have seen mentioned constantly in the notes of this post: Homura's time loop from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which I am not certain counts for this because it's exactly that, Homura's time loop. Homura is the one both experiencing the loop and perpetuating it, and while, sure, maybe things will not be great if she doesn't loop time again, it's still entirely in her control, still entirely her choice.

A time loop I have not seen mentioned once in the notes of this post: the Endless Eight from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Now, perhaps this one doesn't qualify entirely for this either, since our perspective character Kyon isn't innately aware of the time loops. Instead he has to informed by Yuki every time, although it is her reaction, the simple fact that she is reacting to the time loops, that subtlety shows the horror of it all.

Though perhaps the best way the Endless Eight makes the time loop resonate with the viewer is by making us actually experience a fraction of it. Watching the Endless Eight is a chore, honestly, eight episodes that are practically the same, but that's the point. Eight iterations of the loop compressed down to a half-hour is unbearable, so how bad would it be to experience it in real time 15,532 times?

Rochester Author J. L. Long Releases First Science Fiction Novella, SILICON KINGS - The Rochester Post

J. L. Long, an established Rochester author and host of the monthly Rochester Writers Night literary salon, has released his first science fiction novella, SILICON KINGS.

Set in the not-so-distant future, SILICON KINGS explores the limits of technology, capitalism, masculinity, and other American ideals through the complex and ever-shifting relationship between a San Francisco tech tycoon and his personal assistant.

The official book launch and live reading by the author is scheduled for Wednesday, February 5, at 6:00 p.m. The event will take place in the Rose Room at the Rochester Public Library, located at 65 S. Main Street in downtown Rochester. Open mic readings from other area authors will follow.

Julian (J. L.) Long lives in Rochester, New Hampshire, with his spouse, three cats, and an impending sense of doom. He has the utmost admiration for Shirley Jackson and a fictional crush on Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot. In SILICON KINGS, Long blends his sharp wit and keen observations of human behavior to craft a narrative that is equal parts thought-provoking and entertaining.

The book is available as an ebook and paperback through Lulu Books and Amazon. For more information, visit www.JLLONGWRITES.com or contact J. L. Long at [email protected].

[ghostttf-deactivated20240903]

[alexanderkrizak]

Because sometimes you take a clockwise route around Paldea and poor Klawf suffers at the end for that.

Pokémon F/F Ship Tournament - Round 3, Matchup 2

Choose your favorite!

Delia/Jessie

Selene/Lillie

[alexanderkrizak]

Alright, I haven't reblogged any of this tournament so far, but this time, I have to. Look, I love @yamujiburo's Hanamusa stuff as much as the next enby, and I truly wish it had ended up on the other side of the bracket so Hanamusa and Moonlily could have had a climatic showdown in the finals. But the third round is too early for one of the best ships in all of Pokémon history to go down. Please, vote for Selene/Lillie, and let the spark found on Exeggutor Island continue to light up our lives!

Besides, Moonlily is even supported by @yamujiburo herself!
