Just Doing My Best

Serpens Jones, He/him

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Hi, I'm Serpens, Serpens Jones, I'm a so-called Professor-in-Training. I took over research and care of the pokemon at my brother's lab when he went missing a couple of years back. I'm in school for pokemon Research, but I'm not very good at school. I have much more of a Knack for mechanics and tech related stuff.

Here's my team and a bunch of lab Residents

Here's me

Other people on my blog at times

Sera! She writes in purple

Nurse Breeze! She writes in pink

//OOC heyo, it's @lunaphoenix221 of @lunas-galaxy back at it again with a new blog

//this one is a blog that follows Serpens Jones, a failing pokemon researcher in training with a knack for mechanics who is constantly in over his head.

there are too many pokemon breeders just giving children eggs what the hell

tbh its kind of insidious as a practice to hand out "mystery eggs"

like. if you're a little kid with your mom and someone offers you a "mystery egg" for like 300 pokédollars? the parent thinks "this pokémon is going to be a tiny newborn anyway" and the kid thinks "wow anything could be in this egg" and creates an imaginary world where they get their favorite pokémon in the world of course.

but what this really does is ensures that neither of them are actually materially or mentally prepared for whatever pokémon hatches. then they either have to spend a lot of time and money adjusting their lifestyles to this new pokémon. or, more likely, releasing it and it gets turned into another pokémon's lunch

[brutal-aku]

It's illegal in a few jurisdictions, but it should absolutely be more illegal.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

There are SEVERAL reasons why I raise the eggs i get from breeding ring raids and shit myself rather than just handing out eggs willy nilly. I'd like to keep my professor's license, thanks.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

//i need to use serpens more i keep forgetting about him.

If you need a character to do pokemon professor things for you.

Or you have a character who has a hurt abandoned pokemon shiny or not from in region (paldea) or from out of region.

Or if you want to have your characters adopt one of the pokemon from his intro post just send an ask or if you want to do something specific my dms for this blog are open or reach out to me on discord if you have me on there i love doing plots and interactions with others

Thanks,

Mod Luna

I want to interact with more people who do similar work to mine. Reblog if you’re a sanctuary or conservatory worker, pokemon breeder, conservationist, daycare worker, etc.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

i am a pokemon professor and conservationist who takes in abused or otherwise mistreated shiny pokemon cross breeds regional variants outside their homes etc

[woobats-and-witch-hats]

I can imagine people not being the best toward their shinies. They’re probably prone to getting locked up somewhere “safe” and never given enough room to move or play. And then they’re valued for their color and sheen instead of their personalities.

Where do your residents usually come from?

[serpens-and-nightmares]

I get regular deliveries, and my lab functions as a pokemon reserve as well as my lab. I have a couple of resident assistants, including a pokemon center nurse and a psychic type expert.

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Have you tried soap and water?

If that doesn't work, maybe try using some gentle alcohol wipes, the sort you use to clean wounds with?

Serpens ( @serpens-and-nightmares )

Do you think I'd be able to use a scraper on the shells at all? I'm carefully using nail polish remover and oil along with a nail file but I think a scraper could be helpful maybe.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

If you are really gentle and careful around the sensitive parts (eyes and stuff)

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

I can be so careful. I even have some crafting tools like exacto knives I can use for precision.

I must say, they are being very well-behaved as I'm working now that they realize that I'm trying to help them. I had to do some convincing though.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Yeah, honestly, all I can really say is just be careful, exeggcute are a lot less fragile than they seem, but you do still need to be careful when working with them.

Btw how many Easter fosters did you get?

I got a whole litter of buneary and their mama over here

And a couple other rabbit mons

And a couple of torchic... also, rookidee for some reason???

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

I'm being v gentle with them. They very much want these stickers off so they're enabling me nicely and willing to put up with me doing weird stuff as long as it gets the dumb things off.

I got eight eggs, a Togepi, a Happiny, a Bunnelby, a Mareep, a Wooloo, an Espurr, a Chingling and an Exeggcute. Along with a couple. Non-Easter ones. A Fueccoco, Quaxly, and Sprigattito.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Arc I hope everyone is doing alright

I got a couple of eggs too

Lopunny Mama also had a whole other clutch of eggs given to me with her. The group were seized from a pet shop, which got an incredibly large fine. Though I personally think they should have shut down the place... technically they weren't doing anything illegal... just kinda scummy

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Thankfully eggs are easy. Pop them in incubators and keep them safely out of harms way. Harley a great mama and is helping out with them and the Togepi and Happiny like a champ, I love her so much. The ranch co-op I work on is gonna take in the Wooloo and Mareep tomorrow, my bosses sister is gonna be in my house pokesitting while I'm at work in exchange for a quiet place to study for some upcoming exam she's taking for the next week, and the others aren't too big of a deal. The Quaxly is hilariously no thoughts head empty in particular. Things should be settled down and pokemon distributed more evenly throughout the foster and shelter network by next weekend!

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Yeah, that's true. And that's good. I'm glad you have everything handled.

I've got all my stuff handled over here. I'm just tired.

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

You can get some good sleep, you've earned it.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Thanks, Maya. I wish you luck with your fosters.

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Back in Kalos a little earlier than usual since with the holiday the foster and shelter network is expecting a lot of eggs, buns, maybe some chicks and lambs/kids. I need to get my place ready for it.

Lowkey hoping there might maybe be some Oddish line; I think Peony would love a dance buddy.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

You and me both preparing for the worst /lh

//Hi, this is @lunaphoenix221 of @lunas-galaxy

//and I wanted to start off this blog with an OOC warning. This character is an original character from an original novel that i myself am writing that I decided to isekai into pokemon

//Casrus (the character who will be running the blog) is from a story and a world that touches on darker topics, which I will list the tws for shortly. Casrus himself is a type of undead from the original world, so obviously, this blog will touch on topics like death as that is a very important thing for the story of his character. Casrus is also a former assassin and has caused a lot of pain for people, which he greatly regrets. Sometimes, Casrus will talk about his death, which was an incredibly brutal murder any posts talking about this will have a tw at the top and be written out under the cut.

I use the "tw <topic>" format for my trigger tags. Common trigger warnings for this blog will be: self-inflicted dehumanization, death/talk of death, murder/talk of murder, incredible violence/gore, and description of violence.

//alright, that's all my forewarnings onto the ic stuff

Hey, I'm Casrus, I'm a Half-formed Shade from the world of Hostredea... I don't really feel like getting into what that means right now because I don't have the time or energy rn.

I've apparently ended up in the "Pokemon World" in a place called "Galar" I don't really get it frankly. Anyways it's nice to meet you ig...

Oh and here's me ig

[twilight-rose-pokemon]

//OOC it's been a minute, but like this oc faller blog from an original world exists and never really got noticed, so I'm yeeting it here once again

This character takes up like 99% of my brain at most times, and I would love for people to perceive him

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Was something weird posted?

[mahinabi]

i post weird things all the time and nobody ever says anything to that

... and something weird is posted everyday by all rotomblr users. everywhere. probably

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Thing is i didn't post anything but something posted that I can't see but everyone else can

[serpens-and-nightmares]

<a private journal entry read it?>

I've been working on this pokemon for months, and it's still completely defunct.

I've tried everything, but nothing seems to be working.

It makes me wonder how their creators did it. What did they do to make it tick.

And why did I find it in the state it's in.

I know it's not entirely a machine, but it's not quite a pokemon either.

I'm hoping when I can fix it... bring it back to life. It won't be hostile. I'm trying to save it. It deserves to be saved.

I just keep running into wall after wall.

I hope it's alright

And I hope nothing I've done has hurt it.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Hey, Serpens. How you doing? It's been a minute.

@suddenlyauntiemaya

I'm fine. And yeah, it has. What's up?

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

I just wanted to check in on you. You posted something you sounded upset about, so.

I'm in Paldea right now fyi.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

I... didn't post anything, huh?

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Is it not showing up for you? That's weird... Eh, whatever. I was wondering if you wanted to meet up for lunch or something while I'm here?

[serpens-and-nightmares]

I don't see anything, yeah. And yeah, sure, that sounds like a good idea.

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Alright. You wanna meet at your lab tomorrow? Or today technically lol.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Yeah, we can meet at the lab later. Maybe you can meet a couple of my newcomers at the lab.

Had a delivery the other day, and we've also adopted out a bunch of the babies who hatched last month (the ones from when I was overrun with children /silly)

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Pft, yeah, child avalanche. I'd love that; you can meet some of mine too. Want me to bring anything specific?

[serpens-and-nightmares]

I'd love to meet some of yours, I don't really have a preference, I just enjoy the sillies

Two of the new residents here are crossbreed siblings, a deerling, and a mudbray, which is really interesting.

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Oh wow Deerling and Mudbray? That’s an interesting pairing! Are the siblings more equine or…?

[serpens-and-nightmares]

The deerling is much stockier, and the two of them have like moss carpets growing on them rather than deerling's horns

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Cool. Well, hoping they’ll accept pets heh.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Yeah lol.

Sorry to change the topic... but what did that weird post that I can't see say...?

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Looked like a journal post. Something about saving something? Are you having health problems with a pokemon there?

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Um...

No everyone is healthy

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

Must be an old one then. Well, when I get there I’m happy to lug somebody around if need be, whether it’s for practical reasons or just because a big dude wanted uppies lmao.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Maybe.

And I never know when one of my big guys will want uppies.

I just never can. I'm not exactly strong.

[suddenlyauntiemaya]

All good, I can be the designated uppies giver.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Heh, yeah.

Anyways i should probably get some sleep. I'll see you later.

[serpens-and-nightmares]

Hey, Serpens. How you doing? It's been a minute.

@suddenlyauntiemaya

I'm fine. And yeah, it has. What's up?
