I've got the BIGGEST mixed feelings about Legends Z-A's unspecified month 2025 release date.

My brain is going: Ah yes. Smart decision. This is great. Gives them more development time. Let them cook. :)

But my heart, upon hearing that I won't be able to play a brand new Pokémon game this year, not a main series game, spinoff or a DLC, for the first time ever, is going:

#pokemon #pokemon legends z-a #pokémon #I usually ask for the newest Pokémon game as a Christmas gift #There's just something magical about starting a brand new adventure and picking your Starter on Christmas Morning #I got a new Pokémon game for Christmas in 2014 2016 2017 2018 2019 2021 and 2022 #Happened so much that I started considering it as a Christmas tradition and I missed it so much in Christmas 2023 #I was ASSUMING the next game was gonna be releasing in November this year so I'd be able to do the tradition again this year #bUT THERE'S NO GAME THIS YEAR 😭 #I guess they could announce something smaller like a spinoff or ports in June. #I'm sad but at least the extra development time will make the Legends game better. #The wait is gonna kill me

Free fic idea for anyone who's seen both The Old Guard and The Sandman: When Andy and co all have a dream about a man with brown hair and tanned skin, a tweed jacket, a sign for a University in London, and a pint of beer, their immediate thought is that it's way to soon to have another immortal on their hands. They have just settled in with Nile and the banishment of Booker is still fresh in their minds. But they have a job to do, so they eventually find their newest member walking across campus, surrounded by a gaggle of students, laughing at their enthusiasm and answering all of their questions. He doesn't seem to be injured, either physically nor mentally, which is... surprising? Worrying? Usually they only dream about their newest members after their first death, but this man doesn't look like someone who's experienced a death at all. Oh well, there's a first for everything.

When they confront him later, in his office, it's immediately evident that the man, one Dr. Gadling, has never seen them before in his life, not even in dreams, which is even more surprising. Even more worrying. And then it comes out that he's been alive for 600 years and suddenly the Old Guard Immortals have no fucking idea what they're dealing with. Why haven't they dreamed of him before? While they're discussing this amongst themselves, in full view and earshot of Hob, he starts to put the pieces together and asks which night, specifically, they all had a dream of him. Upon hearing their answer, he can't help but to double over in laughter because on that particular night, he and his husband Dream had engaged in a rather... enthusiastic bout of lovemaking and his beloved has a bad habit of invading the dreams of others with images of his beloved.

Anyway, I think Joe would absolutely love Hob and they'd spend hours gushing about their lifelong companions and their shared love for life and everything it has to offer. Maye Hob would be able to offer insight on the Booker situation and maybe they'd all be able to help each other stay safe in a world of technology and constant surveillance. Maybe the Old Guard Immortals could loan their friend Copley and his services to Hob. I think Hob would immediately adopt Nile as his daughter, especially with her own father out of the picture and his own children long gone. I also think Hob would just be ecstatic to find other immortal humans to spend time with, to talk to, who actually understand who he is and what he's going through. He might not be exactly like them (though he's going to drill both Death and Dream for answers, especially since it seems like they both worked together to create the system of immortality that the Old Guard Immortals are a part of) but they have enough shared experiences that he still immediately feels a kinship with them

#give Hob more immortal friends challenge 2022 #he'd 100% start using his new friends as sources for his research #I haven't seen anyone drawing these parallels and there's so much comedic potential here #None of them would be even remotely prepared to meet Dream but I think Andy would probably challenge him to a drinking game #and she might even win #but only because Dream decides that he respects her and lets her win #I think he'd best relate to Booker and his gloominess #Dream and Hob would both love Nile let's be real #suddenly Hob isn't the oldest person he knows! he loves this! #suddenly he's just the fifth oldest person he knows! #he definitely calls Booker and Nile affectionate nicknames as if they were his kids because they're so much younger than him #but Andy and Joe and Nicky (and eventually Quynh) would do the same thing to him #let them be one big happy family!! #Hob has lost so much and I want to give him a family that he can't lose! #and maybe that's the Endless but he really needs people who are more like him who can truly understand him #and I think he could relate to every single one of the Old Guard Immortals on some level #sandman netflix #the sandman #Hob Gadling #Dream of the Endless #Morpheus #Dreamling #The Old Guard #TOG #immortal husbands #joe x nicky

i think general consensus was that 2023 was really good for games but there werent any new books level boring indie games that i played and changed my life. so maybe we should all die...?

#only new release i played in 2023 was bg3... #i dont really keep my finger on the pulse of games but DEadjacents are my bread and butter and yupp^ it didnt happen #also books level boring is a term of endearment... the games just have lots of words #i dont think i had one in 2021 either but 2021 wasnt a real year...? my end of 2019/start of 2020 was wild tho bc i had KRZ and DE #within like 2 weeks of each other. and then 2022 was of course pentiment

whumptober 2022!

okay im gonna try and get a headstart on writing for whumptober this year because i am determined to get further than filling 5 prompts bc if i can pass that goal then i’ll be in a better shape to keep the momentum going and do even better next year. THAT BEING SAID i v much would love to continue in the same manner and take requests. so! here are the fandom’s i’ll be writing for this year, and the characters i gravitate towards:

batfam (i have almost zero canon info outside of all the movies and whatever i read in fanfics but i love the family dynamics sm, and this is my current hyperfixation so prompts are v much more likely to be filled): - tim drake

miraculous ladybug - marinette dupain-cheng

danny phantom - danny fenton

avatar the last airbender - zuko

fullmetal alchemist - edward elric

my hero academia (maybe - my mha fixation is like the furthest orbit rn so no clue if it’ll come around before the end of october but if the prompt is good who knows - midoriya izuku

you’re allowed to request as many times as you like! however, sometimes i just won’t have any inspo from the request so it might not make the cut, sorry! i’m also pre-emptively replacing some prompts and blacking others out so i don’t have to write anything that makes me feel icky or just isn’t my jam, or so i can write prompts that are v much my jam. so here’s the prompt list!

#this is an art that represents many things that I went through and that I suffered a lot last year.. #like- for you to know how happy I am that the year 2022 is over. it's kinda like how much I'm standing up to now #because for me this year was very difficult #it was really very painful to the point of having to be the one who had to remain silent- #just so as not to say what's stuck in my throat until today #It wasn't just deaths that made me sad. it wasn't just because Brazil lost the World Cup #but there were several things that you have no idea how much it hurts to this day just to remember.. #so- I hope that many here are happy that I'm still here #for having endured so much in all this time. for staying strong and trying to do my best... #for putting “bandages” on every thing I went through. #that some wounds even heal quickly. but there are others that don’t even manage to heal #(like- one of those stains you get on your clothes and it doesn't come off. #or breaking a video game out of anger and never being able to recover it) #but even so you still are trying to find a way to be fine.. #and I'm not only here because I like it and I have friends that I don't want to lose. #but I'm also here because I want to see other people's smiles. whether with my art or even with the things I say #I'm here to show that no one is alone. nor will they ever be #that if you went through many difficulties in the year 2022. know that you were not the only one! #because I also went through it and now pls feel very happy to at least start another year and a new era.. #may 2023 be a good year. that everyone can enjoy and have fun. without so much pain and suffering like last year.. #have hope. stay strong and look at the past as a lesson on how to live even with so many things happening. #remember the good things. even if they are not many. they will help you and make you stronger.. #try to think about the now and live a new experience trying to do your best and still stay strong #I care about y'all. and I hope to stay here for another year to see each one of you well. #also- that I love you guys very much. and I hope y'all don't forget that💛 #art #i'm mel and this is my blog✌️ #my art #art mel #mel creator

3 ships: obikin, wangxian, merthur (this is so hard i ship a lot)

1st ever ship: this is hard, i think obikin was the first i read fanfic for, tenrose (?) was the first i engaged with (wow that was 10+ years ago), and in general as a child i liked wolfstar first (ofc we have left hp behind)

Last song: There! Right There! from the legally blonde musical (WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND OVER THE MOVIE)

Last movie: technically a muppet's christmas carol (but it was just on in the background while i was studying), the last movie i watched watched was black panther: wakanda forever (i'm still recovering :,))

Currently reading: parable of the sower by octavia butler (for class) and a SLOW reread of the rots novelization

Currently watching: i'm about to watch the sandman! a whole year late, i'm also trying to catch up with FIFA (missed the round of 8 and 4 bc of grading and exams 😭)

Currently consuming: not really anything ngl, i'm a bit overwhelmed with school, grad applications, and work BUT i'm diving back into star wars and merlin (bc tis the season), probably sandman when i actually have time

Currently craving: i want maggie noodles so bad rn!

tagging @stellasapphire, @emeraldkyber, @bladling, and anyone else that sees it! i've been tumblr absent so i'd love to interact!

#i need stuff to read bc i finally am starting to have free time (ending my current job this week and starting my new one in february 🤡) #i can't believe i'm this old #and also it's crazy that i'm still an obikin and that we're getting content in the year of our lord 2022 #lil me would be bawling #tag game

visualization of how my 2022 has gone 😍

#purrs #for context in 2014 i used to religiously catalogue every song i discovered and eventually got more and more into it and made beautiful #decorative google docs and then compiled the Google docs into spreadsheets. then i got to college and was too busy for spreadsheets so i #just tracked stuff on Google keep like you see here. then my life started going extremely downhill and i listened to less and less music #because of the horrors and in 2022 i just straight up fucking forgot this sticky note existed but i have barely discovered new songs #anyway so it probably will not be much longer than this once i finish updating it once im done dishes. lol!!!! the growth the progress the #self work.. so evident here that i am in a good place and have managed to keep up things that sustain me and help me thrive. music is so #imprtant to me as was poetry as was drawing and now all i do is play video games and watch youtube. awesome #delete later

Day 295, and as a break between expression sheets I decided to do a bit more work on that Ikemen Vampire fanart from *gesture vaguely* however long ago

I'm still not too happy with Jean's pose but meh, I'm just thumbnailing/spitballing rn, so I'm not too worried about it XD I'm probably going to wind up redrawing the whole thing from scratch, but for right now I'm just kind of scribbling and seeing what happens. Super happy with the MC's pose, though :D

#the great artscapade of 2022 #bobbi's being weird again #art #my art #ikemen vampire fanart #jean d'arc #ikemen vampire mc #does the MC have a default name? #I keep trying to find it but come up with nada #and also get distracted #by crying about Jean some more #I still haven't started a new route bc Jean destroyed me so good XD #I have been poking Ikemen Prince occasionally but I'm on Nokto's route and I mostly want to slap him so I don't get a whole lot of progress #I don't think any otome game is going to satisfy after Jean's route #it was so good y'all ;-;

#my favourite character in the loz series........ Spinch #cant stop thinking about him #i literally didnt play botw for a couple years or so #& started a new game in 2022 #& STILL immediately recognized him when i spotted him in the distance #was like ''IS THAT SPINCH????'' & raced over to say hi #cant get enough of this dude #i named my cat after him. but no one wants to say the name Spinch :( #my family keeps saying ''i am NOT calling him that'' & then calling him Ralphie #like no. his name is SPINCH. & if you cant say it that's because you arent good enough to behold the Spinches
