bested in battle...there's a bit of tension between them...

[thatsnotfriendship]

Does AppleDash count as opposites attract? (More like "different-but-same, really). sure, not in the classic femme/masc sense but hear me out.

They're really simliar but really different. Kinda like their little rainbow-shiny-element things.

1) Down-To-Earth (figuratively) and Proud. (Left is AJ's victories and right is RD's).

2) Down-to-earth (literally) and the most pegasus pegasus to ever pegasi

3) Don't have a pic for this one, but their typical mood/style. Applejack is usually associated with home-y shit like pies, cinnamon and family. shes also obviously country pony™️.

Not to say RD doesn't love her parents, obviously they are close, but she's usually depicted with that rebel/punk vibe. (assocaited with danger, rock music etc).

They aren't complete opposites, and they have simliar elements but they're different enough.

4) Applejack has backhoof strength and Rainbow has fronthoof strength.

5) Applejack is like, nobel as hell and Rainbow is...quite egotistical xD.

6) Their parental relationships and effects of those (listed above lol) are VERY different.

etc, etc!

in conclusion, no, maybe they aren't different enough to be opposites. they're THIS CLOSE though xD.

Pokédex Entry 0028- Sandslash

[the-masked-hivemind]

Make a list of those of you which are in anyway damaged. Preferably list those of you that are more damaged higher on the list, and those who only require minimal repairs at the bottom. I need to ensure that all of you are in good enough shape that I can actually rely on the drones to do their jobs.

-HETCH

Oh, hey, Bossman! Sure, we can do that. 0001 needs a lot of help - it hasn't been able to speak in years! 0420 thinks it's the Spirit, 0008 hums and keeps taking up our voice, 0307 left, and- oh, man, who was that Drone that kept cursing? And the frowny one, too.

Can someone help me order those?

Pokemon: Shiny vs. Default, 0027-0028

Moving swiftly on from Pikachu, it’s time to cover another one of those Gen I Pokemon whom I really like, but gets absolutely screwed in terms of movepool, the Sandshrew line.

Starting off with Sandshrew itself.

Green. Yawn. I was going to talk about how I like the paler underbelly on the shiny better, but I looked at the sprites and the underbelly is the same colour between both forms in basically every game, so this is just a case of the Home model being a weird outlier. Default wins.

Now for Alolan Sandshrew

Interesting case, this one. The armour barely changes, with the underbelly getting the colour swap instead. And I think I actually like it better. I’ll give this one to the shiny.

Next up, Sandslash

Now that’s better. The red spikes look pretty great, though I’m not wild about the paler body, I think they could’ve gotten away with leaving that yellow. Still, it’s not fucking green, so I’ll give it that. Overall sticking with the default, though.

And lastly for today, Alolan Sandslash.

Y’know, I can’t tell if the ice is actually a different colour or it’s just the contrast between it and the body making it look different. I think it is, though, and I’m going to go with the shiny again. I just think it looks neat.

Overall, an even split today, but yee gods I’m already tired of the green ones, and I know they’re just going to keep coming.

Default: 31

Shiny: 10

Draw: 3
