I can’t believe that only a few months after I posted my fic about Nessa and Elesa, Pokemon Masters would have a scene comparing the two of them in the exact same way I did! This is exactly what I was hoping for out of an interaction between them!

Calling it: Melli is the type of guy who will never be able to tell the twins apart but is still SOMEHOW able to read Ingos unchanging pokerface after a while.

“The Boss looks so tense today…” “I can never tell what he’s thinking. So stoic, so serious.” And Melli just wanders up to him all “Oh! You’re in a good mood! Did something nice happen?” “Oh! So good to see you Melli! Indeed I had a really good day so far. A passenger brought a young Meowth onto the single line in a baby sling today and I just can’t get over how adorable it was. I’ve been smiling all day just thinking about it honestly. Here, let me show you some pictures I was allowed to take!” “Awwww”

Youd think somehow that would help him to recognize his partner easier but for some reason it doesn’t. Mellis fluent Ingonese also doesn’t help him with Emmet, who Melli claims doesn’t have ANY nuance in body language or facial expression which creeps him out a bit.

Yeah that's pretty much the case. He does get better at telling them apart over time, but only if he has something to work off of. He does try to spend time with Emmet to get better at it, because Ingo asked and cause Emmet keeps teasing him.

If the twins decide to play their little 'Guess Who' game, Melli will ask them something outrageous, like, ' Profess your love for the Great Melli'! or he'll say something he knows will make Ingo blush. Emmet says that's cheating but Melli doesn't care.

But safe to say, Melli doesn't randomly kiss Ingo unless he's 10000% certain it's Ingo.

Thanks for the ask stranger. 😊

Using Obsidian to organise existing Bullshit

The Alternative title of this entry should be "How the Church of Obsidian saved by dirty heathen soul".

Anyway, I have a (now on Hiatus) youtube channel that I had fucktonnes of notes, scripts and suchlike for that were sat on my overcrowded gDrive unorganised and doing nothing.

I had heard of Obsidian before but it all looked very overcomplicated and I didn't think I would have a use for it from watching all the how to videos where members of the Church of Obsidian showed people their simple (read: complex) note taking system that they had optimised.

However the one thing I will say about Obsidian is that there is no one system and because everyone works differently, everyone will do shit differently. Take ideas from those videos on how you can organise shit, but don't copy their system because their system might not work for you. However, I have been converted to the Church of Obsidian so I'm going to stand here and testify.

Anyway, as I said, I had a big fuck off load of Youtube Shit, and I decided the best way to do that was using Obsidian. Why? Well unlike other note apps, it's all text editor readable .md files. It's a personal wiki system and you can literally change .txt files to .md files by changing the file extension. Yes you heard me. Also, there is no server. If Notion or Evernote's servers got hacked or taken down, you're notes are gone. With obsidian, your notes are on your harddrive (I have my vaults, yes, plural, on a pendrive). You can put them on a cloud server or a home server or just on your PC and you can copy them and fuck around with them all you want, they're yours and if Obsidian decides "Obsidian Sync" (their optional paid web sync service) isn't enough and decide to paywall the app completely, you'll be fine because your notes are literally just a load of files readable on any text editor.

Anyway, how did I adapt all my files on gDrive to Obsidian. Well first I went to drive.google.com and downloaded all the relevant notes, scripts, files and shit relating to my Youtube Channel. They download as .doc files so I had to convert them to text. Most web "doc to txt" services limit you to two files per upload unless you pay, but I found a free (if slightly janky) app called MultiDoc Converter which is free and did the job well.

Next thing I did was mass rename the files from .txt to .md, which you can do with the shell. Yes the shell! It took me a while to figure out but here's how I did it.

Go to the folder where the .txt files are.

shift + right click > Open Powershell

Type ren *.txt *.md

This converted the txt files to markdown files. Yes, it's as simple as changing the friggin file extension. If you do not change the files to .md, you will not be able to Edit them.

Next is to open a new vault in Obsidian (if you don't already have one). In Obsidian, make a folder for all these new files (if you want) and in the file explorer, move all the files from the folder where they were into the folder in your vault.

Congratulations, they're now in Obsidian.

Now what?

Well the files (for me) were unlinked and unorganised. So I took the subjects the videos were on (I had a lot of videos about closed stations) and put relevant hashtags in them to link them all together, then when an article mentioned something else, I would link to the article using that.

This was a history channel, so I made a lot of Ghost notes to link references to years together (some I made into blank MOCs) and gave them the Hashtag #year. You can't make hashtags from numbers I'm afraid.

The Result?

Organised, but searchable and indexable chaos.

I'm now using Obsidian as a note app regularly, albeit on a different vault in a different method.

i tried my hand at more shiny pokemon recolors! admittedly i’m less happy with this batch than the previous ones. my edits are on the left, normal sprites in the middle, and normal shiny sprites on the right.

my versions are free to use with credit!
