For anyone that’s worried that the new Shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan (My Deer Friend Nokotan) anime isn’t gonna be as yuriful as you hope:

Pokémon Horizons Headcanons:

(I’ll be using the English names but typically I prefer the Japanese ones.)

Mollie is transfem, and part of the Joy family. She either had a falling out with her family, or was discouraged from becoming a doctor growing up, due to being a “boy”, or both. Either way, she’s distant from her family and doesn’t like going into Pokécenters if she can help it. Mollie still wanted to become a doctor, but didn’t feel comfortable in the Pokécenters, thus opting to join the Rising Volteccers.

Orla has family back in Hoenn, that’s why she moved to Hoenn for work in adulthood. Source: Just trust me on this.

I’m only assuming this based off of his impeccable style, but I HC Murdock as being Alolan, moving to Galar later on. While yes he’s shown working with Mitchell, he is shown working with Katy, so I feel like he just gets jobs wherever he goes. The Corsola shirt and him having Rockruff are what convince me. Idk I just don’t think British fashion would produce something that cool. (I jest.)

Dot’s Quaxly know’s Ludlow’s secret.

Ludlow has a collection of Old Rods he would be willing to give out to interested trainers, but due to the fact that he lives on an airship, they mostly sit unused. He definitely has different-quality fishing rods.

Dot first got to personally know Iono through sending her an overly long and transparently anxious e-mail, asking for advice with videos and streaming and suggesting a date and time for the advice to be given, all that. Iono replied with “k”, and later got back to her.

Friede funded the building of the Brave Asagi with a research grant but mostly with Orla’s savings. Orla holds that she paid for 2/3rds of the ship over him sometimes.

Orla actually sorta made it big in her line of work back in Hoenn, and is the owner of a number of patented designs for boat parts.

Uh… might add more later, idk. These are just my silly thoughts…

Oh, and HeartstruckShipping is real. GuruminShipping is also real, too.

Seriously need to get some money so that I can buy Tavern Talk and start obsessing over it.

Does anyone know how I might be able to like, check out the Japanese Pokémon manga, and watch the series in Japanese? I live in Iowa, but I can read Japanese... very slowly. I'm trying to find ways to take a look at the manga but everything is coming up short.

Like, obviously some people MUST be able to access it... unless they're just getting it shipped overseas somehow? If that's the only way, how might one achieve that? If I could find a solution on my own I wouldn't be asking... I genuinely don't know how to proceed.

Feel free to DM me or reach out on Discord. (@randomtangle)

THAC0 Thursday: THAC0

Time to explain THAC0! It’s quite simple, really.

First, what does it mean? THAC0 stands for “To Hit Armor Class Zero”, and it’s exactly that. What you need to roll to hit a target with an armor class of 0.

From this, you do a little math to find out what you need to hit a target with a different armor class. The equation is simple:

THAC0 - AC = x

So, if you have a THAC0 of 20, and they have an AC of 8, you need to roll a 12. This works for negative AC as well since you just subtract a negative, which is the same as adding its inverse, so if you have a THAC0 of 15 and they have an AC of -3, you need to roll 18 to hit.

That’s it! That’s all there is to THAC0! It’s not that complicated.

Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed!
