"It rarely fights fairly, but that is strictly to ensure survival. It is popular as a mascot."

Hey. My name's Sterling. I'm 32; I grew up in Hoenn, then moved to Sinnoh, and I've been here for the last 9 years. Yes, I was involved in Galactic roughly seven years ago under the codename Saturn. We've since become a real energy company, and we power about 3/4ths of Sinnoh with it. If you have a problem with me or my past actions, file a complaint at i-didnt-ask-so-keep-it-to-yourself.com, thank you.

As you can probably guess, I'm a big fan of the Croagunk line. I've known Tox, my Toxicroak, since she hatched from her egg. We've been through a lot together and she's really important to me. I've had a lot of experiences with a lot of different Pokémon, but she's always going to be my number one.

Not too much happens around here, if I'm being honest. I'm really just looking to take a more steady approach to life. Feel free to stick around anyway, though. (... I guess I can answer specific questions about Poison-types, if you need advice there? I know a lot about them.)

hiiiiiiii this is sterling's roommate/partner, call me clobbopus or clob :] I wanted to join rotomblr but I got nervous about it, but I also don't shut up, so we share his blog now

uhhhhh I'm from unova (born in castelia but I spent most of my life in aspertia) and I'm 22. being disabled does not and will not stop me from being a silly little guy. I'll probably be posting about little things in my life, the various eccentricities of my roommate, and being silly on other people's posts

Info and tagging system under the cut. (Last updated 9/5/25.)

I'm a fictive of Commander Saturn, and am running this blog primarily to help organize my source memories. I'm more than okay with being asked what my experiences were like (ex. Galactic, growing up in Hoenn); it helps me put everything together.

The partner I referenced is the system host. They encouraged me to do this, but then they got interested and wanted to help-slash-RP-with-me. So I'm letting them. They're roleplaying a trainer OC of theirs, primarily drawing from their first playthrough of Black.

For roleplaying: Pelipper Mail is on. Pelipper Unmail is also accepted, but will be considered a joke scenario/non-canon, and Union Circle is available upon request. While we're capable of long-form RP, it depends on our energy level at any given time. Feel free to ask about specifics or DM us about doing shenanigans together.

Primarily no to low stakes, with occasional mid-stakes.

The events of Alpha Sapphire, Diamond, Black, and Ultra Moon are canon to this blog. Black 2 is underway. Non-canon games are referenced as battle/region simulators that Clobbopus plays.

There won't be any NSFW here, but do be aware that we're an adult (21+).

I sincerely don't care who interacts. Roleplayers, other fictives, sapient Pokémon... Go nuts. Blogs roleplaying as Saturn are also welcome; it's less weird than you think.

Overall, don't be weird or a jerk and you're good to hang out. I have no issue blocking people.

Tagging system here. We follow from sleeplessvalley.

Wait. New question for the Saturns, how many of us weren't born in Sinnoh?

[galactic-beyond]

I have no idea.

[comical-croagunk]

Hence my curiosity. Where were you born, Utomiya?

[galactic-beyond]

I.. have no idea. probably in Sinnoh. maybe in Johto. or Kanto.

[comical-croagunk]

You don't know? Huh, okay.

I'm putting your tally in a new "not sure" category, because... well, I don't think I can neatly put you into "born in Sinnoh" or "born outside of Sinnoh" with this information.

[galactic-beyond]

a little voice in my head suggested you put me in the unique category of "SinJohto".

[comical-croagunk]

Pff. SinJohto, sure.

I guess the Sinjoh ruins would count as that, in a way?

I was born in Pastoria City.

[comical-croagunk]

Nice. One tally for "born in Sinnoh", two tallies for "not born in Sinnoh" right now.

[comical-croagunk]

New consideration for the Saturns-in-a-band thing. We dress my roommate up like me, get them a violin, and they join on my behalf.

Okay, putting that aside for a second. I never did find a home for Whirligig, so now I have a really eager to battle Claydol in my care. I'm going to have to get very creative with how I involve this one in training sessions.

[galactic-beyond]

would that really be an authentic Saturns in a band performance? a violin would be pretty cool, though.

[comical-croagunk]

No, not really, but it might be the closest we can get. I haven't even touched an instrument in a pretty long time, and I'm not too interested in learning any... Meanwhile, my roommate can sing really well, play the violin (they're out of practice but they can), and they do have a guitar that they plan on trying to learn eventually.

If the question was "what instrument would you want to play in a band"? Drums could be fun. Which, in a way, does answer the original question.

...I see what you mean about the tearing each other to shreds thing.

would you believe me if I said that the stuff he said was like. piddleshit in comparison to what he could've said

[comical-croagunk]

ATTENTION! the Saturn Battle Royale rankings have updated.

You would still would come in first because you have the braincell.

Kouzuki would come in second because he has psychic powers.

Oume would come in third because he has a cool hair gradient.

Utomiya would be in fourth because.

Kaneko would come last because he couldn't provide a good reason why he'd win.

Stars above, there's another? When does this end?

And why do so many of us have last names starting with K???

[ground-control-saturn]

I would come in first because I am simply better.

[comical-croagunk]

With your dependency on Cyrus? Please.

[ground-control-saturn]

Im still perfectly capable of taking care of myself, asshole!!

[comical-croagunk]

Most people are, to some extent. I feel like your capacity to handle yourself is directly tied to him right now, though.

[ground-control-saturn]

You’re just upset that he WANTS to provide for me.

[comical-croagunk]

In a way, yes! I owe a lot to him- but I don't need him to be my reason for living anymore. Honestly, now that I've had the time to figure myself out, I think it's important to make your own choices and listen to what you want, instead of following someone else around and letting them choose for you.

You're probably not going to care, but that's fine.

[ground-control-saturn]

Well, since you apparently haven’t considered it, I’ll just have to get it through your thick skull that what I want IS to do what he asks. That IS my choice. So. You can go do your own thing, because I DON’T care!

[comical-croagunk]

Oh. You know, I managed to forget that was an option, which is impressive considering I'm kind of like that for my roommate.

Fair enough, then! Carry on. Maybe tell him how much you enjoy working for him? I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

[comical-croagunk]

Well, y'know, tearing each other apart is the best part of starting a band. Or so I hear.

In theory, if Saturn and the Saturns became a band, which instrument would you play? So far we've got Kouzuki on bass and Oume as the vocalist.

the actual last thing anybody wants is sterling getting to that point in an argument. he will either have a panic attack or absolutely crush the other person and there's no in between. I help prevent that :D

anyway I don't think he's ever played an instrument before, so. I'm not sure what he'd play. maybe I could teach him the violin? or he sets up some weird contraption with a computer keyboard and adds interesting sounds

You guys should start a band

In theory, great idea. In practice? I worry that we'd all tear each other to shreds. Everyone's at different stages in life.

[comical-croagunk]

Are you missing my point on purpose

If you take a survey of like, anyone else who has a bunch of versions of themself running around, most of the time everyone in that group won't have a different last name!

And I guess no one can really answer why the Saturns are different except for maybe god but it's weird!

Look, I'm running with this to the best of my ability, but I'm not guaranteed to understand everything even if I do have the braincell.

My new declaration is that when it comes to variations of the same person having the same last name, Saturns are outliers and are never to be counted.

[comical-croagunk]

Well yeah but I feel like a lot of the time versions of the same guy from different worlds have. The same name.

I'm an outlier and shouldn't be counted, then.
