Known as Sinnoh’s Ice Queen, Dawn is best known for her intimidating yet caring nature. She’s fierce and calculating, never leaving any room for error especially when it comes to battling.
On her off days you can find her in the contest hall, a hobby she picked up from her mother, or in the Battle Frontier/Pokémon Lab to catch up with her best friends.
It is said she was recently engaged to a certain johto boy (Ethan. It’s Ethan.) however they will not publicly revealed their plans for the wedding as of yet
Made a timeskip adult champion Dawn design a while back! It’s still my favorite of my timeskip series hehehe I hope you enjoy!
Now I'm curious cause of your tag. What did Swedish media say about the eurovision thing?
Oof yeah, here's a post detailing it ... here another... Basically they've absolutely flipped over the fact that Finnish public didn't give Loreen points at all (which I find absolutely hilarious) and suddenly started wielding such rhetoric as "the former eastern part of our kingdom" referring to Finland, which is???? like??? do I even need to say how Not Okay that is?
It might seem to some that the Finnish people are reacting to Sweden's (unfair) win and them being sore winners (which, points to them, I didn't know was possible!) with too much drama, but it's all tied to our history together. Finland has traditionally seen itself, and has been seen by other countries (Sweden included) as the sort of "little brother" to the more advanced, better-faring, glorious Sweden. While Sweden to my knowledge doesn't much care about what Finland gets up to (perhaps overlooking/ignoring us and our merits), Finland is always comparing itself to Sweden and trying to live up to it. It's a very common rhetoric and sort of, the atmosphere over here. We know more about Sweden than Sweden knows about us; we're constantly conscious that Sweden exists. Sweden gets talked about in international news; Finland, if mentioned, is often tied to - you guessed it - being Sweden's neighboring country.
We used to be part of Sweden for 600 years. During that time, Swedish was implemented as the language of the culture and the "civilised" whereas the finns living in the eAstErn pArT oF tHe kiNgDoM were seen as "wild" and "uncivilised" and just, generally a lesser people to the Swedish speaking population. We haven't been under Sweden's rule for some 200 years and STILL we can't seem to shake their influence on us. Swedish is still a mandatory language to learn at school (and I have many opinions on that, but that'd be another post). Finnish as a language has been disregarded for its whole existence. Our leading national thinkers and poets in the 19th century, who were the first ones to really push for the Finnish identity instead of us seeing ourselves as part of Sweden or Russia, wrote in Swedish. The first novel in Finnish was published in 1870.
So this is monumental to us, to have the whole word watching Finland and not Sweden. Finland has a lot of merits, especially considering how small a people we are (just 5,5mil). To have a song in our language, in Finnish be this popular, is something we couldn't have imagined. We as a people are humble to the extreme, so much that we might easily scorn anyone who is too successful (not a good thing!), and this is the first time in my life that I'm seeing the whole country rally behind someone like this. When we say "Our Jere" we mean it with our whole hearts. We're so so proud of him, everyone is, and for once Finnish people seem to think in unison that someone deserves all the praise and the success.
SO, to have Sweden in this UNIQUE moment of Finland raising its head and being "we're so amazing", with the rest of Europe going "yes you're so amazing!!", spew rhetoric like this, is just, unbelievable to me. Like I can't just believe that in the 21st century there are people in Sweden who hold up 200 year old thought patterns of our country. It's been shocking 'cos though there's always been rivalry, it's felt more... tongue in cheek. We "love to hate" Sweden over here. It's been "I hate Sweden (affectionate)". But now we find this unbelievably condescending and belittling attitude towards us raising its head, and we wonder, we thought we two were okay?? But have they always held these beliefs???
So there's a sense of betrayal in the air as well. And just, full on disbelief. And maybe we're starting to see that it has been like this all along, but we've decided to turn a blind eye to it? True colours shining through? Perhaps not... but yeah.
Sweden not looking good here!
(here's one more post that says the same that i did but was better at making it SHORT oops)
hi there's a line in TSR chapter 10 about how some Trollocs wear boots ("They strode on paws or hooves as often as on booted feet") and I got immediately distracted from the epic fight scene by the thought of a Trolloc wearing cute little rain boots.
idk why, but the idea of Trollocs wearing shoes was the funniest thing ever to me. so I had to draw it
This really confused me at first, and I was like ??? wha... because they're both... bow...shooters? or something? what the hell are you two talking about
theeeennnn I realized they probably mean romance rivals and it's because I thought I was just being nice to Arue and accidently flirted w/ her bc I thought the other options were too mean
north georgia/atlanta gothic but it’s specifically about autumn and I’ve never written anything like this before
North Georgia has fall. It has colorful leaves and cool weather. It stole it from everywhere south of Marietta.
You might be inclined to take a walk in the woods during autumn because the humidity has subsided and the temperature has reached a lovely seventy degrees. Don’t go after October. That’s when the forest goes silent.
Go take a drive out to somewhere where no one lives or there’s no light pollution, like Lithonia or something. Go at night. Go anywhere from late September to December. Go star gaze. Go look up at the vast ocean of sky and stare in awe. Just don’t go during November. Never go during November. The weather isn’t the only thing that’ll worry you.
Spiders may terrify you, but spider season is a blessing. It means it’s safe to go outside. When the spiders leave, you should too.
Don’t leave the door to your porch open at night. It may slip inside when you’re not looking. It seeks the warmth only a home can provide.
Listen for the frogs singing. Run when they stop.
Watch your step in the woods. You may end up somewhere you don’t want to.
Most animals here don’t hibernate for long, or at all. They have to be alert. You should too.
We can start getting heavy frosts in late fall. Most cities don’t need to worry. Atlanta is prepared. Over prepared. They know what comes when the temperature drops.
The humidity plagues our springs and our summers, but don’t rejoice when it’s gone. Something else takes it’s place in the fall.
That’s not the smell of burning leaves.
Atlanta is busy on the weekends during the fall. It’s not the nice weather. We’re preparing for what’s to come during the short but dangerous winter, and it’s not snow.
