If you do decide to stop it permanently - please, don't delete it, so I can finish the archival (got some crazy life moments myself, hence hiatus in archive). In other things to say, best wishes to you and The Other Q! May life be great for you all.

Thank you for the well wishes! Don't worry, I don't plan to delete the blog

OOC ask - if that's not a secret, what equipment do you use to draw these great comics with?

My phone, ibispaint X app, and a phone stylus XD

Good time of the day, Professor Cherry. Me and Trace the Mew are doing just fine (we did end up being kindred spirits, apparently), but, just a few days ago, we've got a new one amongst our ranks. Apparently, another team of scientists took a shot at making Mewtwo and even succeeded... and then, knowing, how do the teams like this tend to end, decided to dispose of still-sleeping clone in the safest way possible. Long story short, do you have any advice on raising a newborn Mewtwo? Thank you.

This is a tricky situation, and for instances such as these I will always recommend you take the infant to a proper facility to care for it and ensure it grows into a nice specimen safely, so that it has the best chance of survival possible.

Young Mewtwos are notoriously unstable and can suffer from numerous potential health issues. On top of this, once it begins to function a bit more, it will have little to no control over its psychic powers and can cause catastrophic damage to its surroundings and those within the range.

Exercise extreme caution.

About "every Sith descends into bloodlust" - not true. Darth Vectivus descended into lust for money instead.

Watching your business rivals fall into bankruptcy and destitution is a form of bloodlust.

Phantom Ruby is a self-perpetuating illusion, existing as long as at least someone, somewhere, somewhen believes, that it exists. Maximum irony.

It’s a good thing no one in my RP community believes it exists then, because that would require someone knowing that it ever existed, and it never existed, therefore it can’t exist, for in order to exist someone would have had to have believed in its existence, but they can’t believe in something they do not know the existence of, so, therefore, fuck it!

Muahahahahahaha!

(Seriously I hate the Phantom Ruby *lol*)

Don't do it, please. I really enjoy Rhal and the story, as stagnant as they are. Archive it or reupload it to somewhere, but please, keep it accessible.

@mgrgfan His story continues! Rhal isn’t going anywhere believe me. I just wanna consolidate all of my following to ONE blog. And the only reason why I’m keeping this account open is for this blog. I have all of his old art saved, nonetheless. So if anyone wants to see a specific old piece, I can easily upload it to the new blog.  BESIDES, a LOT of what’s on this blog is severely outdated and retconned. Rhal has undergone a huge revamp and I do plan to write him a proper fan fic in the near future.

Another ask to you, professor - what kind of Ghost or part-Ghost Pokemon can you recommend for children?

Well, despite the common misconceptions, most ghost types are perfectly fine pokémon for children, provided the children respect them and care for them properly. I wouldn’t recommend, say, a spiritomb or a mismagius for a young trainer, but plenty of ghost types are as easy to handle as any pokémon. 

Many first-time ghost trainers begin with gastlies, since they’re so common and have very few physical care needs; they’re not especially powerful until they evolve, but they’re still a popular choice for a person who’s new to raising ghosts. Similarly, drifloons aren’t known for being powerful, but they’re easy to care for and tend to be fairly docile. They may try to kidnap children, but even very small children are generally heavy enough to not be taken away, so there’s no risk there. Honedges and goletts are also easy to care for, although the former can be dangerous around more curious children-- though it may not be out of malice, a honedge will start draining energy from someone who grabs its hilt. It’s an unconscious defense mechanism.

If you want to mimic the traditional starter system, litwicks, frillish, and phantumps or pumpkaboos can fill the fire, water, and grass categories. The former two are better if the trainer intends to evolve their pokémon at some point, however, as pumpkaboos and phantumps only evolve either when traded or when they become very, very old and powerful. As for a choice between those two, pumpkaboos tend to be better at defense, while phantumps are stronger offensively; it would be up to the trainer to decide which they’d prefer.

Finally, if the child in question doesn’t mind waiting, a pokémon which evolves into a ghost type might be a good fit. Rowlets are popular starters in Alola, of course, but cubones and snorunts can also be good options. Nincada husks can of course become shedinjas, but in most cases a trainer would also have to raise the ninjask as well as the shedinja, so that may not be the best choice for a child.

I would not recommend a mimikyu for a child, despite the species’s tendency towards friendliness, unless the mimikyu in question has been trained to be around children already. Children are notoriously curious, and telling one not to peek under a mimikyu’s costume all but ensures that they will in fact try to peek, and while a honedge whose hilt is grabbed will only drain energy as a defense mechanism, mimikyu will retaliate in anger against attempted peekers.

I hope this helps!
