So um… not too much going on but I guess I’ve got this now? Basically just going to be my ooc thoughts and reactions when I remember to give them. Most ooc stuff specific to my blogs is going to just be on there (although if it covers multiple I guess I can just shove it on here). Honestly, I never have any idea what I’m doing. Might as well just Wing it! Get it… Wing it, because birds have wings and my name is Cucco/Chicken… you don’t have to laugh it’s fine.

a old hand mirror!!! Miraculously untouched by the fall.
I... thank you for the gift.
But... I'm sorry to say that I ah... Dropped it, out of shock.
I do hope it wasn't expensive. Again, my sincerest apologies.
[meanwhile, off-screen...]
Rose hesitantly walked over and picked up the mirror. It was face-down. He almost didn't want to turn it over. After all, every time he saw his reflection, he recognized it less and less.
Just get it over with, Rose, he thought to himself, How much worse can it get at this point?
He turned over the mirror, and-...
If his blood could run any colder, it would be ice cold.
He would scream, if his mouth had not clenched itself shut and sealed itself away. He would hyperventilate, if his nose had not closed itself. He would curse, had his tongue not melted away ages ago. All he could do was stare in horror through his left eye - the one thing he had left, despite it being as unrecognizable as the rest.
He threw the mirror as hard as he could against the wall of the den, causing both the glass and the frame to shatter into a million pieces.
Feel free to use these on your blogs, and/or make up stuff to add onto any of these!
The Porygon of the Jungle
The Porygon of the Jungle is a book about a Porygon sent to survey a jungle. As it researches and surveys the jungle, it starts to mingle with the various Pokemon of the jungle, and begins to doubt if it's a true Pokemon. Near the end of the book, the Porygon meets Mew, who tells it that it's just as much a Pokemon as any other in the jungle.
Four of Swords
Four of Swords is an SNES RPG about Keldeo and the Swords of Justice. You play as Keldeo, trying to help both Pokemon and humans, all while trying to gain the approval of Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion.
Mimikyus in Orre
Mimikyus in Orre is a sorta "modern classic" animated cartoon, in a similar vein to stuff like Steven Universe and Gravity Falls.
It's 2D animated, and stars three Mimikyus trying to make a life for themselves in Orre. The three Mimikyus are as follows:
Pika, a Mimikyu with a Pikachu disguise. The leader of the trio, who just wants a home to call their own.
Pix, a Mimikyu with an Alolan Vulpix disguise. He wants a trainer who will provide for and care for him.
Sandy, a Mimikyu with a Sandile disguise. She wants to become the strongest Pokemon in the Orre region.
The show is very respectful towards Orrean culture, and has the Orrean sunset as a common setpiece.
The show is rather well-received, though does have its critics.
Its first season has finished, and a second season was recently greenlit.
Veectory
Veectory is a series of RPGs made by Square Onix. 1 and 2 are on the DS, and 3 is on the 3DS. There's also an official remake of 1, which was poorly received, and a fan remake of 1, which was very popular. Square Onix soon hired the people behind the fan remake, and they're now developing Veectory 4.
Veectory stars a noble human warrior, Victor, who gets turned into an Eevee very early into the first game. Even in this new form, though, Victor upholds his honor and warrior's duty, and continues fighting for peace and to protect others.
Veectory 1 has entirely Pokemon party members, including Fraz the Mimikyu. Veectory 2 and 3, however, have a mixture of Pokemon and human party members.
Veectory 1 also has a Giratina superboss in the postgame. It's notoriously very difficult.
While Veectory 1 and 2 were turn-based RPGs, Veectory 3 is an action RPG. For the first time in series history, it allows Victor to evolve, and the combat gameplay changes depending on which Eeveelution he evolves into.
A trailer for Veectory 4 was recently released, and Square Onix has announced that they're releasing 10 animated shorts showing iconic moments from the Veectory games, leading up to the release of Veectory 4. So far, 3 of the 10 shorts have been released.
Veectory 2 has had an interesting speedrunning history, mostly due to cheater Micklemick. Mickemick had been speedrunning Veectory 2 for about a year and a half before turning to cheating. They had modified the game to change the behavior of some enemies and bosses, making them use attacks with shorter animations much more often. Micklemick wasn't caught until months later, during a livestream. The modifications to the game had some side effects. During a live speedrun, on the third boss, the boss used move "TESTMOVE1", which isn't possible without either some serious glitches, or modifying the game. Micklemick tried to play it off as a Rotom having possessed their game, with the quote "ROTOM! ROTOM IN MY GAME!" along with a meme-worthy pose from their facecam. Both would become memes in the Veectory speedrunning community.
Great. More of them going on about "audiences". I guess it's just being a teen syndrome.
Remember folks, there is no script, there is no show, and the only game in town is physics. The only "audience" of life is yourself ultimately. You are free, both to fuck up and fly.
Send a “🔦” or “Flashlight” to light up the minds of the characters. Send one and I’ll respond with a drabble displaying the character’s thoughts in a recent moment or one that was important to them.
Remember to send an ask to the person you reblogged from!
You ever get so emotionally wrecked by a beloved friend's story for their ocs, time and time again, always coming back for more. And it is quite literally the best piece of literature never written.

Hi hi, Frey here, blog owner. Can someone explain/send me a link explaining how Pelipper mail and the like work? I saw a post on it a few days before I started the blog and forgot to save it. (◞ ‸ ◟ㆀ) Thanks!
The last time she was in the heart of Ultra Hive was when she was transformed into one during the eve of an eclipse. And the last time she tried to find her way without any guidance, she was promptly attacked due to infringing on the territory of a hive. Hopefully, things would be different considering there were those of her kind living among the bestial inhabitants of the planet, right?
She stayed on her guard with Hyperion trailing behind her, trying to discern if anybody or anything was on the hunt for her. Pandoria was still wearing her URS uniform long since after she had arrived to the other world. It was a means of protecting herself from the overexposure of Ultra Radiation, but it also signaled to others who knew of the organization her allegiances. A target on her back notifying to anybody that she was loyal to them. But this mission wasn’t assigned to her on their accord, and that would further complicate things if she were to plead her case in front of a hive-clan that weren’t usually collaborative with them.
The chirrs and buzzes of strange creatures echoed around them, the crunching of foliage quieting their footsteps as they started to approach an area of the forest that was brighter than usual. Not because of bioluminescence, but because there was a sign of civilization nearby. Flames. Thankfully, they appeared to be controlled or else the land they walked would be set ablaze and their mission would have to be put on pause for their own survival.
But walking into the township of a hive-clan wasn’t going to be so easy, now wasn’t it? As soon as Pandoria and Hyperion approached the source of the faintly glowing fire, she heard an all-too familiar screech cry above her. From the overgrowth, people started to surround them both with intricate blades in hand. Their clothing was akin to that of armor, but definitely not the armor URS members were used to considering it was made up of both metal and natural materials for extra adornments. Of course there were going to be sentries around the territory. The last time they were here, something similar happened.
From above, the person on dragonback lept off their mount and landed in front of her with a circular bladed weapon in hand, having it aimed towards her neck. Pandoria grit her teeth realizing she was surrounded, and put her arms up indicating to the guards that she was no threat. Of course, they weren’t buying it since the stark white Recon Squad uniform was still on her body.
“URS, for what reason have you treaded upon our territory?” The rider said with a stern voice. They had long hair and eyes the color of crimson, a color that was somewhat rare among her kind. It also reinforced the animosity and disdain the stranger harbored towards her.
“I mean you no harm. I have come here on behalf of someone who lives among your hive. In fact, she is my mo-“
“Do you really think we are going to fall for such excuses? How convenient is it that a member of the Recon Squad has family here? We see through your lies. And you have the gall to show your hiveless Naganadel to us. You don’t have the authority to be here, so go back to one of your research stations elsewhere.” The sentry snapped back at her. They seemed to inch closer to her with the chakram still firmly grasped in their hand. The other guards closed in on her as well.
“Yes, Hyperion was reared in one of our Rookeries, but that does not mean I have no right to try to explain myself as to what I am doing here. If you would allow me to explain what I am doing here, then perhaps we can come to a rational agreement regarding my permission to enter Akrei territory.” Pandoria responded, trying to remain as calm as possible even with a dozen people surrounding her. The lead sentry scoffed.
“What makes you so certain we’re Akrei? What if we’re Infernalis or Luctuosa? You might have studied the names of the hive-clans, but what gives you the right to walk in here and say that you’re one of us?” They continued to try and instigate a fight, but Pandoria held back. She didn’t want to squander this mission before it even begun.
Suddenly, one of the guards reared back with a somewhat horrified look on their face. Pandoria’s heart sunk because she had an inkling as to what they saw. Her horns. Her talons. Her scales.
“Y-you! This intruder dons the scales of our brood-brothers and sisters! Why should we permit the likes of you to enter?! You are nothing more than a murderer! A kinslayer if you truly are a descendant of a hive-clan! How dare you mock us!” They shouted, reaching for her arm. She reeled back and hissed as they tightened their grip on it. They had the intent to kill her right then and there all because of a misunderstanding she had no idea how to convey. Of course these people had never seen a hybrid before. She was the only one of her kind she knew of, after all.
After their attempts of trying to yank off the scales from her, the guards realized that they were a part of her. Something that they had never considered. The sentry that had grasped her tightly loosened their grip. Hyperion let out a low growl of discontent, conveying their quiet fury.
“What in the worlds…are you?” They stammered, horrified. The others shifted their expressions from that of disdain to immediate fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of something that was not supposed to exist.
But Pandoria remained calm. She knew that these people wouldn’t be able to understand her circumstances no matter how much she would try to explain. Yet, there was one person among the hive that did.
“What is going on here?!” A new voice cried out. It was coming from the entrance of the hive, so it wasn’t the group of guards that surrounded her. A figure tried to push themselves through the crowd, but was held back. The lead sentry lowered their weapon in order to discern who this interlocutor was.
“You do not have the authority to interfere with our interrogation with this stranger! Please return to the hive and stay out of this for your own safety.”
“This person is no stranger. She is of the hive but raised in the City; she is of my blood. She is…”
That voice. She knew that voice. It was one she hadn’t heard since she was going to leave for the Recon Squad. Pandoria went silent and motionless. Not out of fear, but…
“Mother?” She said softly. The guards murmured among themselves before lowering their weapons hesitantly upon confirmation that she was no mere outsider. The woman made her way to Pandoria and started to embrace her. She was…crying. In that moment, she had no idea what to do. But in return, she embraced the woman. The one who called her here. Altana Ishige-Chloris.
“Now this…is certainly not how I expected our reunion to unfold, isn’t it?”
