//-There's a joke to be made here, about "Make sure Omino doesn't die so I can kill 'im myself," but I do not have the mental fortitude to make it right now—

//-I had a dream the other night I got caught up in Mii Happenings but I was writing Arthur from Ghosts n' Goblins who was CRUCIAL to the plot for some reason. And the only actual Mii present was not a Mii that exists. The only thing I remember actually happening was me asking if Miis could get sick or something ooc and everybody refusing to give me a straight answer.

//-I haven't even been checking my RP blogs lately I have no idea what prompted it

It took me a bit to find the school’s copy of the Violet book, so sorry this took so long! This is a very local book, so you probably haven’t heard much of this information before. (Unless you’ve been to Paldea. Then I would be super wrong!) Arven here by the way 👋! @vio-hisustory

I’m going to mainly talk about two important things in the book, but there’s still so much more to it. So I 100% recommend picking up a copy if you’re ever in Paldea 👍!

Ok so, I’m not sure how much world geography you know, but if you were to know only one thing about the Paldea Region, it would probably be that there’s a gigantic crater in the middle of it. The Violet Book consists of the author’s notes about an expedition into said crater.

The area within the crater is known as Area Zero. It’s a very dangerous place according to the author. He describes it as “inhospitable to human life”. (In my personal opinion, this description is right.) The landscapes, plants, and Pokémon are described as completely unlike anything they have ever observed before. The entire place looks like it defies gravity, honestly.

In Area Zero, a certain plant grows: the Herba Mystica! This is what I am personally most invested in.These powerful herbs are the cause of certain Pokémon in the region growing to enormous sizes (called “Titan Pokémon”). Each one of the herbs has a different effect. The sweet one for example is especially good for gut health! Bitter is good for circulation and the immune system! Meanwhile, salty is good for building strength and curing muscle issues and numbness caused by neuropathy injuries. Sour’s nutrients are especially good for tiredness by improving physical and mental health, and spicy boosts metabolism and flushes out toxins. Me and my best friend fought the Titan Pokémon together to gain access to these herbs. They really are miracle workers! Makes you wonder what sort of nutrients are in the soil in Area Zero to even make them possible..

So yeah! That’s some of what is covered in the Violet Book. (Yet again, this is nowhere near a complete summary, and saturated with my preference towards the Herba Mystica, so I do still recommend reading the book yourself.)

The Violet Book is interesting and all, but the history of the Paldean Empire (or something like that) is probably much more up a historian’s alley than some superpowered herbs from a crater. I haven’t been paying enough attention in my classes to talk about that now, but I’d be happy to do some research on the subject! (I need more credits to graduate anyways jdndndnd.)

By the way! Please take this as an invitation to ramble about what you know back to me. I’d love to hear about the stuff that interests you as a historian!

I'm making a new introductory post!

My name is Vio! I'm a historian, and have a focus in mythology and legends. Other than that, I have dabbled in quite a few hobbies over the years and have an odd assortment of skills.

I'm not the most social, and have been in and out of therapy for some time. I also tend to go on long trips and especially travel into rural areas. I enjoy camping and hiking quite a bit.

I use He/it or any pronouns, and don't mind any gendered terms.

//-Hi hi, it’s Vio again! I promised the people a funny bird man, and I’ve remade with him and a few friends on my rebooted multimuse. You should follow me if you wanna see Blathers, or any of the other characters in the list right now! There’s more on the way, too.

//-Soon.

★ Helloo !! I know I’ve been silent on this for awhile despite my previous ooc post saying that I’d hopefully be more active. I’d just like to announce I am still going to work on this blog, so here’s to future asks !

//-Been thinking about remaking this blog. My boy may return once again.

//-I was gonna do a Dad Day Drabble as well but I still can’t get something I like out of it so this is my “I’m not dead” announcement instead

//-It feels as apt a time as ever

//-I’m having a lot of fun with the carrd--

//-Gonna push a starter call out for the time being! If you’ve got a specific verse in mind, reply/DM me with it; otherwise, I’ll default to OV!

//-Hey, I wanna get this blog back on its feet, so you should like/reblog this if you’re interested in RPing with a slightly outdated Benjamin Tenjamin. 

//-Well, no sense in delaying things- how about a starter call?

//-While I finish up icons, why not throw a starter call out there! 

//-I know I owe 3 starters rn and haven’t made literally any headway on them so should focus on that instead of adding even more characters, but hear me out. Please hear me out. I need more experience writing bastards. Just absolute assholes. Just the worst excuses for human life you’ve ever seen. So.

//-So.
