It was an honestly beautiful day in the Paldea region, for Seraphina of course. It was another day of walking and travelling through the region, as she had begun to make her way to her next gym, past Medali and headed towards the mountains of the region, towards where the Ghost Gym was.

Of course, Zephir was by her side, the Glaceon obediently following her along as she made her way along the path...though she was also keeping her eye out for any Pokemon that could be useful. She saw some waddling Cetoddles and herds of Deerling and Sawsbucks. Nothing to really note though.... Until she saw a fluffy creature laying on the ground, with very beautiful wings on its back, and a long...tail? Huh, if she didn't know any better, she'd recognize those wings as...a Volcarona's? As she found herself changing path a bit, she began to slowly approach the fluffy creature, it was certainly special looking....perhaps a new form? Paldean Volcarona? She did recall seeing some Larvesta near Cascaraffa.... Though as she was just about 20 feet away, she saw it shift a bit.... And then Zephirs fur shot up. Everything happened all at once, far too fast for Seraphina to react. She thought that the Pokemon moved a bit more, but before she knew it, Zephir had leapt to her defense, in the path of the creatures way to her, and got struck hard by the said Pokemon, and...it was standing now. Towering even, over her, as it was now only about 8 feet away from her, as Zephir was sent flying past her, tumbling against the ground behind.

"...h...huh? What...what just..." She was put into a bit of shock, as the strange Volcarona stared her down. Or was this one? This...this was certainly not what this species was naturally capable of. What she did know though, is if she didn't act fast, she was screwed! What a First Impression!

the only thing about the last two episodes that im actually mad about is just that we dont get confirmation if FW finn is alive or not even tho they literally bring that dudes son into fionna's world and he just does not mention his family at all

So to be clear tumblr is the only social media i actually bother to use with any regularly, but sometimes you crave variety. For example sometimes going on reddit is a nice distraction, and my feed is all really interesting silly low-investment type posts that i can scroll thru and be entertained by without feeling like i have to engage. and other times it feels exactly like facebook. just suggested post after suggested post that makes me say "god you people are so fucking unbelievably stupid." posts seemingly hand picked to make me so enraged, the exact kind of shit I go online to AVOID.

currently it's recommending me a bunch of posts about "why does America have so much looting?" That have a bunch of responses like, "Because of the crime wave, no one prosecutes shoplifters, people have just noticed its so easy to get a group together on whatsapp, etc" and WHY? It thinks I would want or need these posts? Idfk??? I hang out in r/antiwork and like 3 other main subs about being homeless and random entertainment topics. I don't use reddit for politics or world events. I do NOT get my news from there.

Anyway there was also one recommended thread about "why do rural folk feel looked down upon by city folks?" And all the responses were, "yeah! It's them who are rude to the city people!" And when someone mentioned the lack of resources in rural areas, another person chimed in to say "well I lived in Detroit and now I live in a rural area and we have WAY more food and resources than Detroit does!" But the second anyone brings up, you know, the socioeconomic factors that influence that shit, everyone's like whining and crying bc their little brains can't handle ""bringing race into it."" someone had a different life experience than you?! Pft, sure, and then all the bystanders clapped! 🙄

idk it's like. the more time goes on, the wider economic gaps become, the more obvious it is how effectively people are brainwashed. It's not like the answers to these questions are hidden esoteric mysteries. It's not like people having different, individual experiences in life is new. Even my grandma understands that a) people aren't actually looting that much and b) even if they were, have you bought groceries in the past 3 years? if so, why are you even asking that question?? But you try to actually talk about how bad shits getting and these fuckers go into high gear defending The American Way Of Life and blaming individual choices. Ppl are drinking the Kool aid so hard and they think water is just supposed to fucking taste like that

they call me a pirate for a reason

the one thing i think will always be downplayed in obm is the reality of just how much of the 'silent observer' barbatos remains.

not knowing how manga like jjk or csm will end kills me (spoilers in tags)

Its been over 2 years and I finally decided to try watching an episode of Supernatural again. I have picked Peace of Mind 14x15 since its an episode I remember loving as it was very Cas heavy.

The season 14 overall season arc was so stupid and Jarpiss is SUCH a bad actor its hard to watch and Dean and Jack's scenes in this episode are boring and I forgot how much Donatello annoys me but Misha is DELIGHTFUL and every scene with Cas is perfect and hilarious so its worth sitting through it.

It doesnt hurt to watch it anymore at least, but I am definitely still bitter and now just feel compelled to make fun of it. I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to sit down and watch the whole series again, if even my fave episodes are only enjoyable in certain scenes. Sigh. I guess I've just raised my standards for TV media nowadays...

On the other hand watching Cas episodes in hindsight after 15x18 suddenly all the Cas-is-gay stuff is so blatantly obvious its a testament to the gaslighting we were put through that we weren't literally attempting to burn down the CW offices for the way they treated us. This show is aging soooooo badly omg its gonna be more embarrassing to watch in 10 years time than Friends is for gen Zers to watch today.

plus unfortunately for me i think r7 is done. splitsville. endpoint will be the 3rd stage of gay divorce when you can finally grab drinks and reminisce on the relationship with resigned fondness lol. just completely over in any way that matters (sorry to the silent subtleties of queerness girlies but that’s almost never done well when gay people aren’t at the helm and with this show in particular they simply refuse to address certain things as a major cop out)

anyway. what im getting from finally giving in to reviews and interviews and my own lesbian eyes is that going forward it’ll be awkward exes to renewed friendship probably shown through their seamless work dynamic. and they’ll leave things on a ‘maybe someday’ note. which, seeing as they even didn’t try in the actual present is beyond bullshit. but a mutual agreement to end things with both obviously having feelings they refuse to act upon because the writers are hateful hacks i can take.

what would be absolutely intolerable to me would be if seven has clearly moved on (with a blessing from raffi to go have starfleet sponsored spinoff adventures no less) while raffi just carries this torch forever. because fuck that. it’s one thing to have her be the one to nudge them along when they’re both in it but to have only her pining after the fact? hellish. like it’s actually deplorable to me.

MFW editing the final thirty chapters of AMT.

i love finding poetry in the mundane, and yesterday i stumbled upon something that just hits that spot

So, my partner has an old phone- It served them for many years now, but it has one issue: Charging it is hard. Their current charger is hanging on by a thread (literally), and can barely do its job. The phone and the charger came together: They've never used another charger for said phone.

Now, they've tried to replace the charging cord several times. But it doesn't matter how much they've searched what damned specific charger the phone uses, none of them work. They finally decided to bring it to a phone shop and ask what should they use.

The guy at the shop looked at the phone for a bit, and explained: "The port itself is broken. The charger you have works with this phone because they've mutually broken each other into the same shape, in a way that no other charger is shaped. The port itself has corroded in a way that only accepts the charger that shaped it like that in the first place."

And while this is of course a frustrating situation for my partner, I feel like there's a metaphor here. I could write a goddamn story about this. These two half-broken old things have been together for so long they've destroyed each other in a way that keeps them from working with anything else. They've hurt each other in a way that barely keeps them functioning together, and have been rendered useless with literally anything else.

This too is toxic yuri to me-

ran out of pattern paper for the back half of the bodice omggggggggggggg and the only paper maybe big enuf is my expensive watercolor paper!!!!

literally have to pattern a three more things, sew mock ups, fit test, sew the final garments

why did i think a skirt, two shirts and a jacket was going to fast and quick to pattern and sew!!!!

obligatory welcome guide for redditors

A lot of the guides I've seen don't actually seem to understand how reddit works in comparison to tumblr so

your blog is basically your own small subreddit. some people curate this heavily to fit a theme, like a sub, most people don't

reblogs are culturally equivilant to upvotes but functionally equvilant to crossposting

there is an algorithm. it sucks and nobody uses it. turn it off in settings. everything is generally chronological

likes are functionally equivilant to saving a post

you've probably already seen this but change your icon and put something in your bio or people WILL assume you're a bot. personal info not required

generally, anything you would put as a comment on a thread should go in the tags or the replies of a post. only add comments in reblogs if you want it to become part of the base post

tags are mostly equivilant to flairs, used for organization and commentary

your dashboard is an aggregation of everyone you follow

there is an r/all equivilant(trending page) but it sucks and nobody uses it

our search also sucks. your best bet is using tumblr.com/tagged/[TAG] and not /search

there are no mods

by extension, reporting something doesn't put it in front of the mods, it sends it to staff, who may or may not do anything(usually they don't)

there is no karma, there are no karma limits. anyone can reblog anything, comment/reply to anything, or post in any tag

"reposting"(reblogging) old content doesn't matter. people can and will reblog the same post multiple times, including in a row

CAVEAT. reposting someones art(NOT reblogging, making a new post) is a dick move. i know this is commonplace on fandom subs but its not necessary here. everything you post should be [OC] unless you are reblogging. or posting shitty memes

we have our own sitelore, you'll pick it up

(though im not opposed to bringing some over from reddit)

our app also sucks. we do not have third party apps and any that claim to be are scams. sorry

for desktop, most people use the XKit Rewritten extension for QoL improvements and to revert shitty aesthetic updates, much like old.reddit

we have no idea where the porn rules are at either. add a mature content flag to anything you'd get fired for looking at at work, that's about it

finally, from the bottom of my heart, fuck u/spez
