GRACE WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS
because----
Hello, thank you for placing a call to gracewhyyy.tumblr.com. Your message has been received. Our team of lazy half cooked egg characters are all occupied at the moment. Please hold for a more thorough reply.
I lost my father to Pokemon Go and I regret so many life decisions. I’m the one who told him about the game. I’m the one who initially encouraged him. What have I done?
Now he starts every phone call with a Pokemon update. He gets all the names wrong and asks me what a Dragonite is called every time he brings up the “fat fighting orange dragon”
It’s gotten so bad he’s started watching the anime on Netflix. Help.
Okay adding to this. My dad isn’t great at remembering the names of things. So during our pokemon update phone calls, he says shit like this:
“I have a cool pineapple head now!”
“I was down to my last stripey ball trying to catch the blue dragon snake. I told him if he ran away I was gonna be so mad.”
“And the gym had one of those big fat orange dragons!” (he still can’t remember what a Dragonite is called)
BUT THEN. but then. he’s also like, OUTRAGEOUSLY into it now? He’s level 27 and talks about how “the gym wars are brutal, babe,” and how long it takes to take down a level 10 gym? (LEVEL T E N)
And a couple weeks ago he called me to talk about the merits of the old-style Gyrados (which he pronounces guy-rad-os sorry I can’t stop him) that has the dragon breath move, versus the new ones that don’t because Niantic made a change. And he has like 6 Gyrados because his work is by a Magikarp nest or something? HOW MANY fucking magikarp do you catch for 6 gyrados? He’s about to evolve two more. H E L P.
and he says shit like, “Learning about individualized values really radicalized my thinking.” and he means it. Before he evolves ANY pokemon he googles CP estimates and has a pokemon calculator??
This morning he called me because he finally has enough Dratini candy to evolve a fat fighting dragon and wanted to talk about which Dragonair he should evolve. (One with high CP but bad IVs, one with medium-high CP, but okay IVs, and one with the lowest CP of the 3, but A+ IVs) And at this point he’s so far beyond my skill with the game (he’s been higher-leveled than me for months now) that I don’t even know what to tell him. I literally can’t advise him.
My father is more of a pokemon master than I ever was. The other day he texted me the team rocket theme song.
Team Instinct. I told him I was Team Valor when I first told him about the game and he was like, “Okay I’ll join your team babe!”
And then idk he forgot?? And when his account crashed after a week he did a Pikachu restart (that should have tipped me off about the impending obession tbh) and he picked Instinct again.
I ain’t even mad bruh. He so clearly belongs in Instinct. He’s happy there. It’s his natural habitat. Before work he goes and meets up with some other Instinct people to take the Georgetown Cupcake gym in DC. It’s super cute.
My dad will be your Team Instinct dad if you need one
So my dad has always been in the habit of getting to work early. I don’t know wtf he used to do, but now when he gets in early, he goes to the Georgetown Cupcake gym in DC and apparently teams up with “some friends I’ve never met” to take down the gym for Team Instinct.
Then he goes to work and keeps the game open so he can grab Magikarp every couple minutes. Apparently his work is like ON a friggin nest.
He keeps his Pokemon Go habit a secret at work. Nobody knows. On his lunch break, he says, “hey I’m gonna go for a walk” and goes on a 12-pokestop loop. He makes sure to hit up the local Dratini and Pikachu nests (the presence of which is UNFAIR AF). He also take a few minutes to reinforce ‘his’ gym, by which point has been under attack a few times.
At work, he keeps his phone on data instead of wifi (he has unlimited data. For some godforsaken reason he went through 30GB/mo BEFORE Pokemon Go.) because that means his avatar jumps around a bit more?? He says he opens and closes the app a few times to reset it and get the GPS connection to reset and nab him a few pokemon.
Apparently he gets about 140 pokeballs a day. And goes through them all.
This got a new batch of notes, so here’s a Dad Update.
He has 114 Pikachu candy. I hate him. Apparently he’s watching the anime almost every night. He’s on season 2. I think he’s just gonna go through and watch it A L L which is a prospect so terrifying it needs no explanation.
Out of the 6 Gyrados he’s evolved, he’s kept the top 3. He sent me some screencaps the other day of his current top-contender Magikarp and the pokedex entry, where you can see he’s caught 585 of them.
Five hundred eighty five. Who tf has TIME for that??
Apparently he still hasn’t decided which Magikarp to evolve.
He should make level 28 in a day or so.
this dad will truly protect the world from devastation
My dad works on my college campus and every night when he comes home he comes to my room right away and tells me about all the pokemon he caught that day.
Oh look, I’m on my dash again. Seems as good a time as any for an update. I bought him a yellow PoGo keychain for xmas. I will let you know how he responds when I give it to him:
He has started wearing yellow shoes for #TeamInstinct pride lol:
And he’s started wearing a pikachu tshirt. He is on season 4 of the anime. He watches EVERY EPISODE in order. I’m dying. He’s level 30, going on 31. He has over 9 gyrados now, and has enough candy for two more, but doesn’t see the point. He’s about to get his 4th dragonite. One of his dragonite has been stuck at the top of a level 10 gym for like 3 weeks now, since before he hit level 30, and he’s upset he can’t get it back to power it up.
@bouncyenvos
Pokedad update, since it’s back on my dash:
He’s still wearing the shoes. He loved the keychain because he’s a DORK.
He’s level 34 now. 1.12 million xp. 1.25 million to level 35.
He estimates he’ll make level 35 by the first week of July. He joined on July 13 last year and would like to be at 35 by then. He still hasn’t spent a single penny on the damn game and is very proud of that.
His favorite from gen2 is Blissey, who he says is his “best gym defender” and he’s 8 candies away from powering up another high cp Chancy, so then he’ll have 2.
Another gen2 fave is “Hounder” along with “Umbrreon” and Espeon. He’s got a steelix, politoad, “the other slowbro type” and “multiples of those metal coat sunstone kings rock upgrade stuff”. Recently he got “that feriligator” and a typlosion. Not gen2, but he has a “really nice chariZard”
He was SUPER mad about the gym update since he had like 7 pokemon in gyms when it hit, but it hasn’t staunched his fervor. He’s just been buckling down and doing his best. He’s been saying stuff like “I have one raid pass waiting for a raid alert to pop” and I literally don’t know what that means??
But I know what you really want to know. What’s his magikarp situation??
He’s caught 1885 Magikarp.
That’s why he has so many gyrados and over 2k worth of candy. He says he has 5 “really nice” carp he could evolve if he wanted to. But… he doesn’t need to. I mean, look:
He described this as his “navy” and I think it’s pretty well stocked.
Also yes he caught a shiny: (older screencap so that’s why there’s fewer candies)
When we were in the Philippines together, he didn’t have data. And let me tell you: The man was borderline distraught to be away from his game for the 3 weeks we were away. Whenever we were at SM City he’d wander around and complain that there weren’t more pokestops or gyms within reach of the SM wifi. (Also he now has 4 pokemon shirts, all of which he brought on the trip)
HE HAS NEVER SPENT A PENNY??????????
Wow.
Does he have a red Gyarados??
1530 MAGIKARP CANDY W H A T
Behold the true pokemon god.
Pokedad is my favorite instinct player and I will never hear a word against him.
is your dad my dad
eeveez

Grace. Why?
Because the veined octopus literally carries around a coconut shell for protection, and if it feels threatened it just rolls up inside like a pill bug and afterwards just explodes back out in a cluster of slimy tentacles to creep across the ocean floor on its tiptoes, and this is simultaneously very endearing and very creepy.
Always the best answers to life’s big question.
I think we can all relate to the veined octopus. I'm hiding in a coconut shell right now!

Casting Jason Mamoa as Aquaman has been nothing short than absolutely genius.
I feel like canon Wonder Woman would be cool with him using the sword, too
Yesterday at the foster clinic there was a woman with a litter of tiny, tiny kittens, one of whom was a beautiful orange and white creamsicle. I told her, “I love orange boy cats, they are all so stupid.” and the foster mom said to me, with tears of love in her eyes, face glowing with maternal pride, “He is only 6 days old and I can already tell that he’s going to be so stupid!”

GRACE WHY DIDN'T YOU CHOOSE LARVITAR
BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ROOM IN MY HEART FOR GIANT BUGS THAT–ACTUALLY THAT IS A LIE, THERE IS NO ROOM IN MY HEART FOR GIGANTIC BUGS THAT BECOME BIG ENOUGH TO BE CALLED A DRAGON, I WOULD RATHER ROLL IN A PIT OF TAR, but thank you for offering
How dare you call Tyrannitar a bug? YOU ARE A DIS-GRACE
Idk, Pupitar does eat a mountain to evolve apparently, which is pretty sweet but like… Where does the money for a mountain come from? Not on the salary you lot manage to get defeating trainers in League-regulated battles! (Which is… My fault? :D) BUT good to think carefully about whether you can care for a Pokemon before you get one!
If a Pokemon spends a significant proportion of its life as a actual larva in name and in shape, then I'm sorry, but... it's a bug. @sammarkham depends if we buy the mountain legally I guess. If a larva-tar wants desperately to be a dragon bug, is it Pokemon abuse if we refuse to let it live its life as it was meant to be lived? If so, then I say: screw property law. Eat the mountain, Tyrannitar. Eat the mountain.
GRACE WHY ISN'T THE CANADA LINE MOVING I WANT MY POKE
Because when you want it the most… There’s no easy way out. When you’re ready to go, but train makes you doubt, don’t give up on your faith. Poke comes to those who believe it. And that’s the way it is.

Skip the crappy reboot and rewatch this instead.
Reviews for Tom Cruise’s The Mummy reboot are out and they’re, to put it lightly, not great. It’s been dubbed “an irredeemable disaster” and “the worst Tom Cruise movie ever,” described as being “crippled by a failure of imagination,” and criticized for its terrible treatment of women.
But if there’s a silver lining to the existence of this reboot, it’s a reminder that at least one good Mummy movie already exists.
Just to make it clear, The Mummy (1999) isn’t necessary a cinematic masterpiece. It has a 57 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has all of the marks of a summer popcorn movie. But it has something that 2017’s The Mummy—according to reviews, anyway—is missing: fun.
In his 1999 review, Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars called it “good trash.”
“There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it,” Ebert wrote. “I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.”

I watched this movie too young yet it lingers with me cause it was AWESOME
This thread omg
Hijab is not a barrier to cosplay.
These Muslim women are using their hijabs to transform into superheroes.
It’s called hijab cosplay, inspired by Japanese costume role-play and it’s making waves in Muslim-majority Malaysia.
Nuzaru is one of a growing number of hijab wearers embracing this world of comics, film and video game characters.
She spends weeks planning her costumes.
Today Nuzaru is competing at Malaysia’s first event dedicated to hijab cosplay.
Saakira co-founded the event.
Hundreds are here to watch acts and learn tips from cosplay pros.
Nuzaru’s hard work pays off as she nabs top prize.
This is so great! And this is what we need here in America!
This is awesome.
I was thinking earlier about gender bends in cosplay - because I’m in the preliminary stages of working on one (need more money, need to buy a wig for Mrs Peel first dang it).
Which may seem irrelevant, but one of the things cosplay gives us is the ability to not look like our character, but make our character look like us. (Not saying I don’t respect the skill of people who choose characters they look like and can walk on a stage looking like they stepped out of a panel or a frame, but…)
This is the same thing. Making a character your own by shifting it towards who you are.
I’ve honestly always loved how happy Malaysian Muslims look and how they wrap their identities all around Islam and their hijab rather than treating it like an obstacle– even just looking under the Doraemon tag, SO many are these happy Malasyain ladies in blue and white Doraemon-coloured headscarves taking pictures at Doraemon museums and stuff, they’re just so cute and unabashedly themselves, it’s really sweet to see.
Like you can tell exactly what character they’re going for, I’ve seen some really amazing hijabi cosplayers and Lolita girls (I remember a lot of positive reception from Japanese twitter too, of hijabi Lolita) too!!
I really love the ones who use colourful scarves to convey the character’s hair colour, it’s so cute???
This is a really tiny picture, but this creative little TARDIS was too cute not to share!!!
@sugarnoor on tumblr here is a Muslimah Lolita too. ^^
