A Pun A Day Keeps The Worries At Bay

Pokemon irl blog [image id: A drawing of a boy wearing a hoodie and sitting among his pokémon. A gardevoir holds up the camera in a selfie while a large arcanine lays her head on her human, her tongue sticking out.]

[weekly-pun]

Hello Tacklr, welcome to my personal blog. I've never really been that much of an online person, but I figured this might be a nice way to kill time since my shifts are kinda slow.

Like the url implies, I'll post one pun every week. Feel free to send me puns, poems, dad jokes, and anything that contains word play.

My gardevoir Co-Runs this blog. She'll speak between these {} to avoid confusion.

// ooc under the cut also important post

Hello, MPC again. This is yet another pokemon irl blog! This guy is a very old oc of mine, I've recently roleplayed as him a little and it made me realize I missed this idiot a lot.

This intro post may drastically change over time. You might've noticed he didn't mention much in the intro! That's intentional.

As always, I welcome eebies, hybrids and sapient pokemon.

Boundaries:

- I won't answer to ableist anons on this blog.

- Do not make suggestive or otherwise innapropriate remarks towards my character. In or out of character.

Anyone ever go to a cheese factory before? They have milktank there

[leafeonmama07]

very few pokemon make good house pets with minimal training, and yet you continue to see people shipping in houndours from johto and expecting them to act perfectly well-behaved around their small children

// sorry I ended up dropping wishmade the constant pressure to focus on jobhunt was not good for writing

[ladyzee-oddityhunter]

Something was going very wrong. She could feel it.

Chest tight and breaths coming in shallow staccato, she fell shuddering to her knees with the little Jirachi Soma clutched desperately against her chest. He fussed, and the very air seemed to twist inside her lungs. Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.

“Please,” She gasped as the tiny form in her hands stirred and whimpered, not unlike a baby. Dread swelled in her heart like someone had poured molten iron into her arteries, and each beat thundered hard in her ears. 

Suddenly, her ears were ringing as the pressure around her dropped, and at once she felt like she was falling, falling, surely about to slip through the rocky Earth and tumble into the abyss forever.

The ringing grew louder and louder, screeching against her eardrums until she knew her skull would creak and shatter if she was made to endure any more. She dropped her head to the ground, scraping her forehead and gnashing her teeth as she clutched the Jirachi against her body like he was the only thing keeping her tethered to this broken world.

“Please,” She sobbed again. The ringing pulsed, and she realized then it was Soma’s wailing, a wretched fusion of an infant’s cries and the shriek of grinding metal. 

The pressure suddenly crashed back in, compressing her brain in her skull like a vise. The world flickered, and the air shuddered. There was an audible SNAP.

High above, the glittering blue sky had cracked. It started with a single crack, a sliver of red peeking between the stars like someone was peering inside their snow globe. Then it seeped through, leaking into the blue like blood in water.

Zee tossed her head back, her heavy crown shuddering on her skull as she observed the sky. She watched, helpless on her knees and cradling the sobbing child. She watched, ice sluicing through her veins as she further ruined the world unhindered. She watched, terrified as the wish sky bled to death.

The red sky now burned valiantly above. From the ashes of the wishes granted, nightmares emerged.

(Arc info below)

Soma the Jirachi is having a nightmare, and the blue wish sky has turned red! Under this sky, the wishes your character made and came true in the first segment will begin to warp into nightmares.

Arc part two, "Wishmade Sky: Puppets and Ashes" will last from June 10 - June 20! Tag your posts for this segment #wishmade sky: puppets and ashes

{ It actually wasn't that hard to make a wish! Look! }

[ An image is attached. It's a picture of a scarlet ranger hat, held above a very similar looking hat. ]

{ The wish made a hat that's almost exactly like my trainer's! I think it looks cool, so maybe the wish went with my interpretation of a "cool hat"? }

Daytime meteor shower?

It's a day as usual. Draw something, watch the trouble-maker, wait for something to happen...

Today, my wait yields a result; I notice, as I look out the window, the sky darkened. It hasn't been so long, has it? I've kept busy, but not nearly enough to lose track of time.

I look to him. He'll know the time without fail.

"Hmm? Let me check."

His clock rings out the time: It's 13 'o clock.

Something is wrong.

I step outside to see the sky more clearly. It's stranger, somehow. The sky is dark, yet luminous. It's far too blue to be night, not bright enough to be day.

He follows. He must've been sitting for too long again. He takes off his glasses as soon as he puts them on.

"The sky's weird today, huh?"

It is.

"Thunderstorm?"

It isn't.

"Well, if I had any say in it, I'd say this Rumbles my mood."

Ha! Rumbles? I get it! Because thunder rumbles! It's a double-meaning! Human words are so funny! So funny, that I nearly forget the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Has this happened before? I do not recall. It doesn't seem normal. It looks soothing, yet, terrifying. There is a feeling of discomfort that rings from my horn, or at least, different than normal. As if something were asleep, but its presence overpowering, as if it were all around me... no, in the sky.

Is the sky asleep? Why would the sky be asleep? Skies. Don't. Sleep!

"Are you alright?"

No! There is a meteor shower in the afternoon, the sun is missing, and the sky is asleep! I can't make sense of this!

"Huh. Make a wish?"

This human perplexes me.

"You know, it's a human thing. Or, well, it's probably tied to some specific cultures. When you see a shooting star, you make a wish. There's also a superstition that if you say it outloud, it won't come true, but eh. You can tell me if you want. Unless you're trying to sneak more treats into our shopping cart."

Why can't he take this seriously? The sky has an aura, it's asleep, and all he can think about is next week's groceries?! Oh, right. No, that's not what this is.

"I'll report this the area leader. Try to see if you hear anything about it online."

Of course. Maybe this'll give us something to do today. Others are bound to be scared too. Maybe they'll understand.

wish for a cool hat

{ Oh! Good idea! That seems harmless enough. And it's unspecific enough that it might give insight on how the magic works; whether the wish takes your inner thoughts into account, or improvises. There is one thing, though... how do I make a wish? }

[weekly-pun]

{ I wonder if pokémon can make wishes? I would make tests, but humans on this site claim the wishes may become dangerous. }

{ What would be a low-risk way of testing this? Certainly, avoiding anything that would summon or alter a lifeform, in small scale. Something that hardly affects the world, but remains observable. }

[pokeglitchden]

In light of current circumstances, I know that many of you out there have noticed that the sky has remained in its altered state for just about a day and a half across several different world lines.

I would first like to implore that nobody panic about this. While it isn't an anomaly, or caused by any of the phenomena I typically study, the cause of this is known. This is the manifestation of a Legendary Pokemon's power via a wish, particularly the power of the pokemon Jirachi.

All that said, you may have also noticed that wishes that are being made while this phenomenon is occurring causes those wishes to be granted. I'm here to tell you now to stop making those wishes!!

I know there is temptation. I know this seems like a great opportunity, a once in a life time chance to fix some mistake of yours, or bring someone back you've been missing, or achieve some goal you've been striving for.

But we do not know what the nature of these wishes are. We do not know what impacts making sweeping changes like this may have to the fabric of the universe, or if this state is at all sustainable. So far people are getting precisely what they asked for. We do not know if this will persist, or if there is a limit on the kinds of wishes that may be granted in this state.

I know my words won't reach everyone, but please try to act with reason and refrain from making wishes!!

[weekly-pun]

{ Oh!! That is why I could sense a presence in the sky! I can't quite place together what it is, but I think it's in a dream-like state. }

{ What would happen if someone already made a wish? Hypothetically of course. }

[weekly-pun]

{ Hello! Are any odd stellar events happening out here? }

“My darlings, I’ve brought you a wonderful gift. Isn’t there something you’ve always wanted? It’s yours now. All you have to do is wish for it.”

(Arc info below)

Zee has discovered Jirachi, and with the power of the Millennium Comet to fuel it she has made her wishes.

However, this Jirachi is in the midst of a nightmare, and in its sleepwalking state its power is spilling out uncontrolled.

A strange, permanent dark blue sky with colorful stars is bleeding its way across the multiverse. If you would like to participate in Wishmade Sky, simply assume the Sky has reached your character’s location!

Under the blue Sky, your character can make a wish and it will come true. However, anything wished into physical existence is actually made of stardust, and by the end of the arc it will crumble back into dust. This includes pokemon and people!

The power of the wishmade sky has also lured down a fall of curious wild minior. Your character can meet and befriend them if you’d like!

Arc part ONE, “Wishmade Sky: Dreams and Effigies” will last from June 1 - June 10. Tag your posts for this segment #wishmade sky: dreams and effigies
