I finished Legends Arceus recently but I have not finished sketching stupid things

(Yes I managed to misspell a five-letter word. I would love to use “english is not my first language” excuse but sometimes I make even more stupid mistakes when I write in my native language. So I think I’m just not that good at using human languages in general)

Playing Legends for the first time years after it was released I of course knew about Volo and his cute little mischiefs. I still ended up in this situation due to my brilliant idea of creating a perfectly round team and a bunch of other bad decisions. Believe me or not this didn’t end well.

While I was prepared for Volo I certainly was not prepared for Kamado and his unique ways of making decisions and solving problems. I was not prepared for the whole exile situation or the last cutscene where this amazing man just gracefully plopped all his responsibilities on Cyllene’s shoulders. The woman is two piplup tall and probably one mishap away from murdering someone, give her a break.

I’m a little sad now because it’s time to say goodbye to my morning routine of sketching whatever questionable ideas visited my head while playing.

But if you woke up today thinking “wish there was a children’s book illustrator somewhere on the other end of the world with half an hour to spare so I can ask them to sketch my favorite PLA character or pokemon” then hi hello i’m here welcome to my ask box. Apart from PLA i still have some residual knowledge of gen 2, 4, 6 and 8 (I’m also allergic to odd numbers apparently)

What are some of the worst dub-isms you've heard?

The all-time worst dub-ism I've ever heard in my life is when Dragon Ball Z said that Bulma can sense ki.

Specifically, during the filler arc of DBZ when Captain Ginyu takes over Bulma's body, he declares with shock that being in her body's given him the ability to sense Goku and Frieza's power levels from their battle.

I can kind of see the logic in it, from a "This was dubbed without anyone having seen the first Dragon Ball" perspective. By the time the manga gets to Raditz, it assumes you already know a lot of things, so the Z dub had to do a ton of winging it to figure out what the fuck anyone was talking about or anything meant.

So there's kind of a logic chain where. Like. The humans can sense ki, and Frieza's forces cannot sense ki. Bulma is a human. Erego, Bulma can sense ki.

I see how you arrived at that conclusion, Dub Team.

But it's also hysterically wrong, and in the process ends up implying that Goku cannot sense ki? Because Ginyu did not gain this ability when he took Goku's body earlier, so....

With that said, I never understood why she never learned to sense ki. She may not have martial arts training, but it wouldn't have been impossible, especially as it's a mental skill and mind is already her asset.

[tobiasdrake]

I think she would still need some martial arts training to cultivate an understanding of her own ki before she could begin studying how to sense it in others. It's not just a mental skill but a product of the mental and spiritual discipline that Earth's martial artists cultivate.

She'd probably be better off building her own tracking device, like the Scouter. She already has Raditz's Scouter to work off of for a baseline and scanning a mystical energy source wouldn't be that different from the Dragon Ball Radar, really.

Bulma could totally build her own Scouters.

I mean she *did* build her own Scouters in Xenoverse...

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

[pughat]

Ok, hear me out,

What if they were lesbians and were dating. What if they kissed. What if Metaknight and Magolor had to be in-laws because their sentient objects made by the ancients were in love with eachother.

Do you see my vision? Do you see it??

Sentient sword and ship... in love........

if I transfer all the data from my old iPad to a new one, do they have the same machine spirit, or is the old iPad dead and deserving of a warrior's burial

lvl 1: the plural of octopus is octopuses because the plural version of a word is the word with an s at the end

lvl 2: the plural version of octopus is octopi because if a word ends with "us" the plural version replaces the "us" with "i" e.g. cactus -> cacti and fungus -> fungi

lvl 3: actually, that rule is only for latin words. octopus is a greek word and the correct plural is octopuses or octopodes

lvl 4: actually, language is descriptive not prescriptive. since enough people over time have used octopi as the plural for octopus, it's a valid plural

lvl 5: the plural of octopus is octopeese, like geese

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Lvl 6: My Marine Biology professor told me it was technically “Octopods” to bring it in line with “Cephalopod,” but that if the class is falling asleep you can call them “Octopussies”

reblogging this to add that I often think about the old man yaoi mangaka on bluesky who said "the phrase that finally convinced me that the English language is truly beautiful was 'this shit is so ass'"

[es46]

Candidly, it has gotten something tiresome for each narrative to soon boil down to 'oh wait hang on that other monster wasn't the problem it's this thing, oh this thing has appeared and it's gonna kill us all'. Sure, not every such case occurs (Rise makes it clear Magnamalo is not considered to instigate the Rampage, and Wilds does not attribute Zoh Shia to directly invoking Guardian Arkveld's emergence) and there are nuances to consider on presentation. But man, I don't know, just feels irksome I have to shrug off the idea there could have been more rep for narrative or class diversity to deal with a simplistic resolution. Sure, we're still on one mainline snake wyvern and three carapaceons all based on being hermit crabs with a skull, but heaven forbid I don't get my thirtieth one-off arena boss elder dragon.

[stryker324]

Using this as an excuse to share my idea for a Monster Hunter plot: the flagship is an invasive species of egg-eating Snake Wyvern, and the final boss is not the cause of the invasion, but a consequence: a Bird Wyvern individual that went insane with grief from the loss of its brood and started attacking everything that moves. The base Bird Wyvern species, Trokilix, is a mid-tier threat, but the final boss Vengeful Trokilix is just so aggressive and hateful that it even drives away Elder Dragons.

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

Oh this is terrible this is all so tragic and horrible for everyone' and then. you play. BBS and it's like *vine voice* 'and they were CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS'

'oh my god they were childhood best friends.'
