SUBJECT: MS-025-172-D3 SPARKLES [PICHU / PIKACHU] [They/Them] [WARNING: VIOLENCE / DEATH / ABUSE]

[sparklingsplice]

Question for the mun: How do you do that computer screen effect? It looks really good!

> [I’m very bad at explaining it but I’ll try, haha:]

> [I use this texture I made, which is just black and white lines. The process took a lot of copy/pasting to get as many lines as I wanted.] 

> [Here’s an example of Sparkles without the computer screen effect.]

> [I paste the effect over the picture. I use Paint Tool SAI’s Multiply layer to get rid of the white, and then I can lower the opacity of the computer effect as much as I want from there.]

> [Remember to keep in mind what size the picture will appear as on your blog if you want the effect to appear right. If your theme stretches your picture, it won’t appear as clear as it does on my blog.]

> [I hope that helps!]

Obviously you don't need to answer this bc spoilers, but I just wanted to say I love the way you're introducing [REDACTED]!!! It's super clever and imaginative, I love the way they're acting as a little guide for us viewers. :) Can't wait to see more of the story, it's so great so far!

[sparklingsplice]

MOTHER seems more preoccupied on making you into something they consider successful, SPARKLES, rather than your well-being.. What about YOU, SPARKLES? What about what you want?

[sparklingsplice]

It seems that the more upset you are the more acid you produce from your fur so it may be possible that if you were to find a way to control your emotions you could control the amount of acid you produce.

[sparklingsplice]

Oooo-K! Time to back up, people! Uh- Hey Sparkles, wanna change the subject? Liiiike.... can you do other cool things with your acid?

[sparklingsplice]

Wait, since we're Joltik, couldn't we use electric web? I mean, that isn't touching you, right Sparkles?

[sparklingsplice]

Everyone stop picking on sparkles!!!!(joltic screams while hugging sparkles tail) They are a perfect little bean that can do whatever they want!!!!

[sparklingsplice]

Mother doesn't love you. No one here does. They don't appreciate you for you, they only appreciate what the humans can take from you.

[sparklingsplice]

whats wrong, SPARKLES? still not good enough for MOTHER?

[sparklingsplice]

I think living in such strees-inducing conditions may make the evolution through happiness quite hard to achieve. How do other splices that need to be happy to evolve do that?

[sparklingsplice]

Hey MOTHER, do you tell SPARKLES everything, or what they just want to hear?

[sparklingsplice]

Sparkles are you sure you wanna be like MOTHER? If their life can be so carelessly tossed away taking her place will cause you to be in their shoes meaning you'd be replaceable too. seize your own destiny man!

[sparklingsplice]

I may have missed something, but is there a reason why you have Pichu ears?

[sparklingsplice]

Sparkles, why are you taking orders from MOTHER? What has she done to deserve your loyalty?
