Reading the dev notes for Mina the Hollower has been a pretty stark reminder to consider the practical reasons for creative decisions. I was all "okay, but what are we really saying by making the protagonist a mouse", and then the devs are like "yeah, the main reason she's a mouse is because GBC-style sprites are tiny and her bigass ears make it easy for the player to tell which direction she's facing".
The “mess” was actually the heart of a ship’s crew. While the officers stayed their wardroom or gunroom (depending on the size of the ship) where they ate, lived and socialised, the sailors did so in the mess, between the guns, because there it was actually situated on multi-deck ships, a frigate had the luxury that the men stayed in the lower deck without guns and thus had a little more space.

If you think that this is how it is in modern times, that there is an extra room, you are wrong. The mess is actually just a table, without legs and tied to the deckhead by ropes. The men sat on their sea chests or an improvised bench that could be quickly stowed away. To eat, the men were divided into messes, hence the name. And each mess could consist of 4-8 people who ate together at one table. Between the meal times, they could also sit down with another person if they wanted to talk or something.
The sailor’s description of a chase & capture, by George Cruikshank (1792-1878)
Sailors and Marines were separate and had their own messes. If someone wanted to change their mess because there was a problem between them, this was possible, it just had to be communicated to the first lieutenant and allowed by him, as he made the plans and sorted the men into their units. Each mess also kept and respected their plates etc. with many keeping their private things in their boxes and the Navy issued crockery being stored elsewhere. If something was lost with the number of the person who had it, he had to pay for it, that means he had go to the purser and buy a new one. Pewter dishes were known, as with the officers, but because they could get dented quite quickly, the Sailors had wooden dishes. And the plates were square, hence the name square meal.
Saturday Night At Sea, by George Cruikshank (1792-1878)
Every day a man was chosen from the mess (in order) to go to the Purser Mates (Jack of the Dust) in the morning to collect the food in a bag with the mess number on it. This was taken to the cook and he threw it all together to make the meal of the day.
Seamen’s mess (x)
As I said before, the place where the food was eaten was also the place where the men passed their freetime. And this created so much heat that these places were not heated. The grog was also consumed in the mess and the men smoked next to the smoking lamp. In this place, stories were exchanged, crafts were made and later also sleeping was done. In short, the mess (the gun or lower deck) was the place where the ordinary sailors lived.
How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton
hey! I love the art and world building youre doing with Pokémon, but I will admit I'm a little lost on the setting(?) Or story of it all, and hearing that some has been rewritten i dont want to completely rely on your old posts in the tag
Could I maybe ask for a small summary of what pokemon DA is?
Yeah my bad, turns out it's very hard to write slice of life "recovery fic" when both my writing sensibilities and the conceit of this being a mainline-pokemon-game type of setting keeps pulling the point of focus onto Typical Game Plot Stuff
At the core of it, pokemon DA is about learning to see the wonder of the mundane pokemon world after a long period of depressive isolation. Timeline wise, the first Game Plot happened 12 years ago, and the second Game Plot is yet to come. We're in the space between XY and Legends ZA, so to speak. The child protagonist is not in the picture yet, the new big bad is not an imminent threat, and everyone are still getting into position.
...that said, at this rate I'm not gonna get to some of the plot and setting before someone ask about it, so I'm gonna put a longer, more detailed summary below the cut. This will include stuff I haven't shown or implied anywhere, which might cheapen the organic discovery down the line, but lbr pokemon has never been about the twist
Overarching setting
Sommei's legendary is a Cresselia who, every full moon, blesses the region with One Good Rest to offset the burden of living. Something to look forward to.
12 years ago, the 1st evil team, thinking that people should get more than just one night every month, captured it and attempted to extract this blessing. They killed it.
Nowadays, every full moon in Sommei is an ominous but harmless new moon instead, put there by its partner Darkrai to remind people of what happened.
Within this - major characters
Vanilla (the champion) was the child protagonist who took down the evil team last time. She has been using her position to ensure this cannot happen again since. Nobody wants her job.
Scita (the pkmn da protagonist) was so terrified by that event that they abandoned the gym challenge and tried to live a normal life instead
Yogurt (Scita's old partner) wanted to Do Something about it all so it joined Vanilla's team
Ela Joy moved here because he got tired of the politics surrounding pokecenters and Alolan Traditional Values. He's a good Nurse, but he's starting to find research more fulfilling
Mewtwo got dragged here by Kaleido because it's got better protection laws, while he works to make sure Mewtwo is legally recognized as an uncatchable legendary. It's gonna make friends :3
Cloning and gene modification technology has improved greatly due to the work done on Mewtwo, and the new evil team hopes to make Cresselia 2.0, now with more power and less free will
The leader of the new team could have stopped Cresselia's death from happening, but it was Scary. To her, she betrayed her sense of justice, and she's regretted it since
Within this - minor characters
Mette (the little psychic girl) got responsibility drilled into her since she's an even younger child and she thinks that it's stupid and unfair and befriending this weird duck pokemon embryo cannot possibly be that important
Kaleido (guy with the evil looking service gardevoir) is champion of another region. He's always off pulling people together and forming teams to solve problems because he just see people as weird pokemon. Somehow this works
Tan (bodega owner and Mewtwo's current caretaker) is the sole owner after her parents finally retired and moved back to the countryside. She likes having Mewtwo here because as quiet as it is, it still makes her home less empty
Minna (woman with the Mew) has an official job as a battle arena inspector. Cats are her one weakness. Found Mew under a truck and she's trying to see if 'disturbing fetus thing' is its default look or if it's actually sick from living under a truck
Ex-commander Saturn of Team Galactic rebranded the team to JSM Labs, refocuses on energy tech, and is honestly just here to do work while on his vacation. Might have taken a little girl too seriously and now she's imprinted on him like a duck
Mewtwo's storyline/Pokemon characters
There's more pokemon than this, but these are the ones that are relevant to Mewtwo as of present
Trubbish came in Scita's trash-covered apartment one day and the two of them has been together ever since. Possibly the most friendly character in the setting
Zigzagoon (Galarian) got Scita yelled at by their boss, felt guilty, and stuck around because this 20sth is clearly helpless and needs it around
Roastberry (Swellow) escaped its competitive trainer's place several times with burns from the Guts + Flame Orb + Facade strat and Scita more or less stole it after the third time they found it
Rush (Unown E) got summoned by Miette, ran into Scita, got smacked with a broom, then proceeds to stick aroudn and be their problem
Rose/Rotisserie (Combusken) is Tan's rather sheltered and idealistic pokemon. It knows a lot about the local cultures and city life, but it hasn't ever seen a mountain or a beach before
Blunt/Blunt Force Trauma (Alolan Persian) is Ela's first head trauma case after he failed to save a mudbray at 18, and keeping it alive gave him the will to go on back then. Enables Mewtwo in the art of playing with your prey (they invented something called the Rattata Centrifuge)
Clarinet (Gardevoir) has been through hell together with Kaleido, and upon the first hour of being around Mewtwo, has decided this thing needs Clarinet mandated therapy. Mewtwo is Wary™ of it
Insommei (Darkrai), contrary to what people there believe, did not go mad with grief and stole the moon as punishment to humanity. The lost new moon really is supposed to just be a reminder. It is grieving and would like everyone to leave it alone
The next time you feel bad about taking shortcuts in your work, I want you to think about how the face of one of the most legendary movie studios in the world, was photographed holding a plastic lamp with extension cord dangling while standing on a cardboard box.
