Hi. I’m not back.
I just need to spread the word about this:
The Box Elder data center needs water rights, permits, workers, contractors, logistics, and public approval. Each one of those can be levera
The Stratos Project in Utah. Kevin O’Leary has gotten his stupid 40,000 acre data center approved, for Box Elder, near the Great Salt Lake.
There is still time to overturn this. Why is it so important? The linked article will explain it, but TL;DR:
- It will DEVASTATE the community and the lake, when Utah is already in a record high drought.
- It will consume an egregious amount of water daily, emitting a catastrophic amount of heat.
-This will in turn deplete the town of its resources and alienate people from their jobs, while it claims to allow more to be made.
-If the lake dries up, it will release arsenic into the air and pollute the town of Box Elder.
-This will undo YEARS of strides against Climate Change. We are at a point where we are transitioning away from Fossil Fuels, into clean sustainable energy. Do NOT let this pass.
File a formal protest, contact your states representatives and your county’s leaders and speak out against this to ensure we are heard. Take measures to protect your community and fight for Utah’s.
We can stop this, we can still win, there is hope.
You can donate to help, or if you live nearby you can sign and fight against this change. Do not think this ends here, this is the first battle of many, and do not think this won’t come for you. If we win here we show them they can’t push us around. We ALL have a voice, don’t let it stay silent!!!
Fuck AI.

Pause Project Stratos Now Box Elder Deserves Answers
i want to do so much, so so much for the blog
I put alot of pressure on myself to do good here. I really do. I want to push myself, each post serves as practice to flex my writing skills and to further my art, develop my skills into something professional. I know it takes me awhile, but I love it.
I have no time or energy though to put into the blog, I’m so tired from work and life and burnout has hit me so hard right now. There’s other reasons burnout has hit me, part of it is irl and part of it is here online but I’ve been enjoying working in personal stuff. Plus my laptop is on the edge of combustion, and I worry for it lol. I’m working to get it replaced rn.
I just…Idk. I’ll be honest, I’ve thought about deleting this blog a few times in the past few months. I want to continue, but I have little energy to do so and no motivation to even want to right now. I’m still deawing but not here. Not right now. I’m on the verge of crashing out and I think I really need to avoid the community for awhile.
Sorry, I feel bad because I want to participate. I’m just not feeling well. I’ll be back around when I feel better I think, though idk when that might be. Catch you all later 👍
Happy PoGo Kalos Tour!!!!
here’s to hopin I can get my red velvet bird today 😭

"Hmm…" Kyurem listened to Reshi's response carefully. The desire to be strong to lead the people was one he identified with. Gods needed to be pillars of power, of strength, to keep their planet's safe.
Though, he didn't know if Reshi was a Planetary God or not. Different universe held different rules.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy yourself along with being strong," he began. "Back on my planet, every year, there was a festival for each of the seven planetary Gods. One was dedicated to Taiji and I, of course."
"It was a festival of blessings. As you know, I do not like being touched, and it was well known throughout the people on Yasiviloft. Instead, they would hold out a small stick with a paw on the end of it. If I nuzzled it with my nose, should I feel the person was worthy, it was a small blessing for luck and fortune for the individual."
"Those festivals were nice," he smiled softly, remembering it. A happy time on a world that wasn't always so. "We can't rewrite the past, or change it. We can only embrace the now, and change it for the future."
"If a God does not know how to relax, and all they know is how to protect, they are not a responsible God at all," he huffed, "there needs to be a balance of strength and play, otherwise, as you so clearly describe, they become cold and cruel. Losing the delights of the world is like losing half of your soul. YOU cared for him, and made sure he rested. You supported his strength, and that is just as important as raw power."
Something he knew all too well.
"Aspire to be like, sure, but comparing yourself to someone will only harm you."
“How am I supposed to when all I hear is how I’m nothing like him.” She asked grimly. “I’m supposed to be more than this.”
“I did care for him, as well as I could.” Reshi admitted. “Not that he couldn’t himself, it was just…” She paused, searching for the words. “I wanted to, I thought it was helpful. I thought it showed him that I cared back.”
“Before everything happened he demeaned my past times. He was right. My lack of strength put not only myself, but my prince in danger on multiple occasions. It was nothing but my own shortcomings.” Bright blue orbs flicked over towards the elder. “Had I been more of a god, perhaps we would have prevailed.”
“Maybe…Maybe I would not have lost his heart.” She sighs. “It’s not just that I hate him. I still…” A scoff now. “It’s stupid. I should look towards the future, and fight to be better and grow stronger.”
“You’re right, gods I know you are.” Reahi shook her head, feathers ruffling as she did so. “I just feel a constant reminder of my failures follows my every step. Landorus has shown his disdain for me. Thundurus hardly speaks to me, and Tornadus…” A glance toward his direction, her expression breaking. “He may not say it, but I know he feels the same. He’s disappointed in me.”
“I just don’t know how to press forward…” Finally she looks back at Kyurem. “Tell me…Kyurem, what would you do..? If you were in my place?”
Zapdos are you ok?
He looks up, eyes scanning the new prescence before flicking back down at the bench he sat on. An exasperated sigh follows.
“Things here…it’s like they are expecting her to fail.” Zapdos shoots a glare towards the three brothers, who seem to be conversing amongst themselves.
“We are supposed to support our master’s through every event! Where is their loyalty?! It’s no wonder she cannot flourish because they didn’t give her the nutrients she needed!!” The static grows stronger, a huff from the thunderbird as his anger shows.
“They would not understand.” Zapdos growls. “All the eldest sees is weakness where I see strength.”
@askthehoenngods Kyurem (human form) @ Reshi: He could feel the current in the air, and he walked past the Zapdos to see Reshi looking upset. He was worried, so he walked over and sat beside her with visible concern on his face.
"Having a rough time?" he asked, his tone more gentle than usual. "Do you want to talk about it?"
“I suppose I wish I was more like him.” She speaks slow, quiet. “He is more of a god than I ever wish I could be.”
“Zekrom is…dutiful. Dilligent. He trained daily to ensure he was prepared the loment a fight should erupt. He wasn’t concerned by worldly desires. Only that our people were protected.”
“That their futures were protected.” A flicker of anger flashes through her eyes. “Perhaps that’s why we clashed so much I suppose. He was cold, and callous. I don’t know how many times I offered him respite or a jovial activity and the amount of times he scoffed. I was the one to bring him to bed. If not for my actions he would stay awake all night simply to train.”
A few moments pass. “But if I was more like him…maybe things would be different. After all, he was the one with the power to protect his region and triumph over Apura. His influence exists even now. What have I? Scraps of history and memories lost to a forgotten time.”
“How do I wish to face him-To stand against all he stands for when I am not his equal?” Her attention turns towards the trident in her palms. “Even my attendants doubt my abilities. There is nothing I can sway to change their opinion.”
“How do I rewrite history?” She asks the elder, a sad smile upon her face.
Fanart Friyay!!!
Today we have Reshi from @lightofunova !
i didn’t see that I was tagged but oh my GODS SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY!??! TYSM!!! 😭😭😭💙💙
Absolutely STUNNING work omggg, Go check out Ask Ruby the Flareon!!! Their blog has only just started but it’s full of gorgeous artwork and such an intriguing story so far!!!
@mewfun
"Everyone has their flaws... Even us legendaries... What I'm trying to say is... What is yours ? The things you dislike about yourself. Or that people dislike about you. Need to know those things! I am a jester after all."
It’s silent. The lady takes the question in, a slow shakey breath leaves her.
“My…flaws?” Her voice is unstable. “The things I doslike about myself…”
Moments pass before she looks up towards the night sky.
Quiet admissions are spoken into the cold air. “If I had been more- if I was stronger then-!” Sobs rake her small form, curling into itself defensively.
“He was right and I never listened! I should have trained instead of reading stupid books and making dumb daisy chains!” She pauses, catching her breath. “What kind of goddess cannot even fight for her people?!”
For a moment, her fervor dies.
“You want to know what I hate about myself the most?” A whisper. “That I wish I was human. That I stayed in the damn stone.”
(@lightofunova)Reshi@Zekuu: She approaches cautiously, a scowl forming on her face as she recognizes the Zekrom infront of her. A scoff leaves her. “So this is where you’ve been hiding??” She squints, placing her hands on her hips. “What kind of mischief have you been up to as of late then? Still dropping kids in the middle of nowhere?” Other figures catch her eye, breaking her demeanor slightly. “Are they…your family?”
The Zekrom's breath was bated for a moment, hearing that familiar voice. It doesn't click with him until he's face to face with her, and his expression visibly softens - once cocky, stubborn eyes that liked to tease and test her... softening?
Family was indeed a strong word - his only real family was his brother Arjun, really - and unless you counted that damn Kyurem… Ziv was sort of a caretaker after their falling out… he never really supposed literal gods considered such mortal things like family since most of them weren’t related by blood. The Palace existed on a different plane of existence than his time - to her it must not have been that long of a time away. But to him…
He runs his clawed fingers through his messy hair with a long exhale, as if trying to gather the words to say after, his eyebrows furrowing. "Always bringing that up - it was one time." almost a chuckle came from him, but it was dry, tired.
"A...long...time ago." he follows up with it, a bit quieter than before.
"You'd be proud of her, she's a fully grown woman now, a hero all her own like we thought." He pauses mid-sentence, trying to look anywhere but her face for a moment, as if the guilt was eating him up on the inside.
"I uh- I guess, we have a bit to catch up on."
Reshi felt caught off guard. Eyeing the scars that peaked through his vest, she felt a twinge of pain amongst her own. She couldn’t let him gain any purchase against her though. But still…
“What…” Her voice started slow. “What exactly happened to you?”
Their prior meeting he was practically prancing, that mischevious grin and haughty attitude being dangled infront of her face. It made her want to explode, seethe with rage at him for his insolence. Looking at the man now though, she could only describe him with one word: Broken.
He was right, he looked far too tired for anything other than what was necessary. It wasn’t who she remembered, not in the slightest.
Munday/drawing prompt (if you interested) If Reshi was a Xerneas, what would she look like?
This was supposed to be oisted yesterday but i got sidetracked lmao
But here she is! Like always I put alotta thought into how I interpret the pokemon designs, and I like getting things as accurate as possible! Wanted an elven/fae like feel to this since she is a fairy-type now!
Features include:
-Fairly like tulle sleeves on each arm! Colors may or may not shift slightly:)
- X’s like….everywhere. All over the place. She is the X pokemon after all haha
-Facial markings tie into the pokemon’s
-A crown with four points on each side and a jewel to represent the antlers, and look like a flower bud! The jewel changes color when in battle.
-A moon charm to harken back to the fairy types ties to the moon, and Geomancy!
-Lots of fluff!!!!! She wants to stay warm and cozy!!!
In the end I did her shiny palette and a normal palette. The shiny one is to mimic and call back to a snowy-deer and her albinism, so it’s what she would wear if she was a xerneas. In the end it reminds me alot of her og universe’s design haha so that’s fun. Considering this blog is an au for Reshi, her albinism stays no matter what she is.
Thanks for the question!
What is your best habit and worst habit?
A bit more personal huh! Ok let’s get into it.
I think one of my best habits is my productivity. Often times when I’m angry I find myself trying to channel that energy into something else. Sometimes its art, but most times it’s cleaning, cooking, or going to the gym and doing cardio until i’m tired lool. Spite is my greatest motivator and I use that to my advantage,,,or at least I try to!!
I think my worst habit though is not drinking enough water XD I tend to have alot of caffeine and energy drinks and soda through the day, and uhhhh it leads to aloooot of headaches. Very bad. Not good. I used to be better at it! But uh my job is very demanding and I have to be running at 100 almost every time I’m in there so…Now that I’m going to the gym regularly I’m trying to drink more water. It really dors help alot and sometimes my headaches tend to clear up after my body processes it. Drink water guys!! Don’t be like me LOL
Edit: I have no red bulls in the fridge….sadge…
Happy Munday! Hope it's going well!
What's a Pokémon you've come to appreciate more because of the Pokémon ask blog community? Perhaps one you've grown to like that you would've never considered before?
This is a good question omg, honestly though I can’t think of one immediately off the top of my head. I will say that I see and associate certain pokemon with certain people nowadays just from how often I’ve seen them around XD
Like I’ll see and Absol and while I’ve always loved it alot I think of Destino, or I’ll see Deoxys in smash brothers and think of Ask-Deoxys. Ho-oh as Zhen, so on and so forth haha. Just a few notible things.
Maybe a pokemon I’ve come to appreciate more is mew tbh. I never really had any initial feelings towards it before but after being in the community and seeing it so much I have a bit more of an affinity towards it 🤔 more ideas and see why people like it more. It’s a pretty cool mon, and a cutie to boot haha. I love seeing everyone’s different interpretations of it.
Thanks so much for the ask!!
Happy Monday! Today’s question is…
Which character did you have the hardest time designing for?
Oooo this is a good one! Honestly most of my characters tend to come together really quickly with about 1-3 hours of actuve working and designing. Normally I go in with an idea of how I want to design the pokemon as a Human and it works out pretty well!!
Honestly, Lugia was the hardest for me to design for!! Because of how sleek and simple the pokemon itself is, there wasn’t much for me to really get ideas for based off of it’s details! I remember texting my bff “Dude this is such a hard mon to design for” or something along those lines XD I referenced her Ho-Oh oc for ideas as well as the general vibes I wanted for him until I came up with a loose concept one night, which eventually became his design!
I try hard to reference the region’s inspired country too and wanted Lugia to fit in well with Johto well.
he needs an updated ref but man i miss my boy
If reshi were a zekrom in the story (instead of being a reshiram), would the story go in a different way? Or still in a similar path like the current one?
Ohooo this is interesting. Gotta get the gears turning.
So, let’s just say ONLY the pokemon were swapped, Reshi’s now a Zekrom and Zekrom is now Reshiram. It would change alot of the story’s premise but not the characters themselves I feel? Instead of the story taking place in Pokemon Black it would take place in Pokemon White where Black City is replaced with White Forest, Reshiram’s influence would have overtaken the region to be more traditional values instead of progressive etc. The goal for her then would be to try and inspire those around her to look towards the future, a future with pokemon and humanity working together, instead of uncovering lies and harking back to a traditional age like she does now.
But now, what if Zekrom and Reshi were PROPERLY swapped? She’s the one who won in the war and he’s the one who lost? She hasn’t been seen and instead you follow Zekrom in the beginning and learn his views and story as he uncovers the region. I feel like it would be a bit different and you would get to see a different side of their relationship as well as the region!! But that’s just me musing aloud haha
I hope this makes sense cus as I was typing I realized it was a little complex XD hard to understand. Thank you so much for the question though!! I loved getting to think through it haha
Munday: What your character's potential Pokémon disguise if they have one?
I got your other question dw haha. For a mortal pokemon disguise….
Reshi would be Volcarona or Togekiss
Tornadus would be Unfezant hands down
Thundurus would most likely be Emolga or Kilowattrel
Landorus is definitely an Excadrill 😭 heavy hitter
and finally Zapdos would be a Jolteon
I like to imagine they stay with pokemon exclusive to their region’s respective dex. So types would be a lil funky but it’s just a disguise so ;)
Thanks for the question!!
For Munday: Would you ever make an askblog for a fandom outside of Pokemon?
I thought about it!!! Honestly, I was debating on doing ine for Jet Set Radio Future cus of all the ideas I had for it, or one for Earthbound as like a post game Ness and crew in their early 20s and how they’ve gotten on in their day to day lives! Idk if I could do another one tho.
To help fill that void instead I’ve been making a small Jsrf comic on my other blog called Grace and Glory! It illustrates a bit more of my headcanons of the GG’s and Beat’s relationship with his team and father. I have plans to do a third comic page for it but I haven’t started to illustrate anything yet, just written out some dialogue for it!
Thank you so much for the question!! It’s not often I get to talk about fandoms on this blog that arnt pokemon haha 💙💙
