[sprucestairs]

oooooh pokemon company want to put all their energy into z-a sooooo bad. You will not release a half assed johto or unova game you want soooo badly to make a good game that everyone enjoys.

#pokemon #I'm being yastag hater #So pissed when people r like 'we want gf to release more games! One game a year that's right!' #And then they bitch about said games being dogwater #GAME DEVELOPMENT TAKES TIME #ESPECIALLY IF THEY’RE DOING A STRUCTURED APPROACH AND HAVE TO DO A SHIT TON OF DOCUMENTATION #EVEN IF THEY ALREADY HAVE THE POKEMON MODELS & THE BASE MECHANICS DOWN #they still have to: make the region itself #Decide which pokemon will be in the region #Decide where they will be in the region #Design the trainers #Design their teams #Make the story #Make the region story trainers and pokemon feel coherent #And they're probably designing new pokemon and new megas as well #It's gonna take a fuckin while! And that's ok! Means the final product will be better! #Even with stuff carrying over and probably having a bigger team now; remember it took like 7 years to make the first pokemon game. #Although the team size is probably evened out by things like 3d modelling. More complex designs. 10 times the amount of pokemon. Etc etc. #pokemon legends za #pokemon legends zygarde #legends za

Replaying Sword and Shield

I am not quite sure why, I thought about restarting X/Y first, and actually did, but since my plan for a X/Y Legends fanfic seems obsolete now, I guess I am looking for alternative ideas xD

Bede deserved better. He's a little twat but in the end he was just taken advantage of and dropped when he stopped being useful. I just like this little tsundere cottoncandyball

Also, just did the Isle of Armor questline, never actually did before. It's fun, I like it! Kubfu is cute af and it's evolution is now permanently on my team, OG Ogerpon but we didn't need to be involuntary assholes to get it, its ours and we don't need to feel bad about it.

I prefer that!

My girl Glory, and

Her current Team

#pokemon swsh #pokemon bede #pokemon gloria #kubfu #glory in my hc would prefer to be a gym leader ngl #I would also love a game where we just stick to becoming a gym leader #or an elite 4 #she wouldn't be able to decide between water or poison type gym though #she'd flip flop and try to convince everyone that gyms should be allowed to have double types xD #sadly only champions get the more than one type team privilidge xD #she'd be happy enough just being Bede's rival to compete for strongest gym leader in the region #Victor can take over the whole champion thing :p #need to start up Shield to create her brother some time...

me being so set on hating every fontaine character because their designs looked too much and only pulling for the sibs + arlecchino but then navia turned out lovable in the quest. they advertised wrio as a dogboy. neuvy is a dragon AND has elf ears.

ITS JOEVER

#aishi.txt #when i say i dislike some of their designs i mean it like almost as much as i hate tighnari's #tighnari literally the worst of the worst in terms of genshin designs theres so much wrong with it idk where to start #waste too because his personality is fun. also his character demo theme slaps. the concept was THERE but... #lets just say he represents all my grief with how hoyo handled the region half of my culture is based off of #BLECHHH 👎👎 #in contrast though i hate New fontaine char designs slightly less they just suffer from #the vtuber/gacha game effect of needing every character to look like the main one #they just stand out too much -_- not in a good way in a gaudy way #mitigated though by the fact that the npc designs in fontaine go hard and they look just as absurd #so its actually good???? they blend in now at least #compared to. lol. diluc and venti #anyways #thats my rant #i like wrio a lot from design and concept alone i must pull for him #neuvilette's lore goes so hard and im a sucker for elf ears + dragon #I'LL REFRAIN FROM PULLING BUT... ohghhh its hard #navia is my queen but i'll also wait before deciding!! #for now i have a lot of fun with the siblings alone and waiting for arlecchino. if shes even playable

Fugees have one of my top 5 albums of all time and they’ve been broken up since the nineties but they’re reuniting w/ Lauryn Hill to go on tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Except they’re skipping the entire US south which means I would need to drive 7-9 hours to see them even though this tour is literally a dream come true/once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Actually genuinely considering doing it but christ is that an undertaking…eeek

#like not even a teeny lil Atlanta stop…pleeeeeeease #also I’m so sorry to ppl in regions where most artists don’t tour. my southern US struggle is peanuts compared to yours :-( #also like I have to go to Charlotte or Nasheville to see **** and that’s ugggghgggh #at least Nick Cave comes to my tiny ass town for some reason? #i mean it’s a ‘city’ but it’s a city the way that like an inclined plane is a machine. you know #unpopular opinion among my mutuals but I find the whole process of concerts to be incredibly overwhelming so I don’t go unless they’re like #my favorite artists ever and now that I don’t live in a big city like PGH/Boston the added barrier of traveling to a different city makes #it a really big commitment that’s hard for me lol #it’s bc of the autism……….. #and having three come up in Sept/Oct is overwhelming me to a huge degree lol #it’s one reason I’m glad I listen to a lot of really old music lol #I have been to some shows of my friends since moving here but the last like well known artist I saw was Roger Waters like over a year ago #I saw a lot more before that though and a lot were super important artists to me and I’m glad I saw them and my bucket list is dwindling #which is so nice!! #I’ve literally seen Bob Dylan and Parliament Funkadelic like…I’m good I can retire whenever #so so so sad I’ll never see ATCQ though #luckily whichever city I decide to see Fugees in if I do end up going I have friends I can crash with and stuff #Bon Iver is one of the last on my bucket list and I would looooooooove to see Radiohead too

This isn't the best picture, but it kinda looks like Lana designed this armor for him and unintentionally (or intentionally) made them match, lol.

#swtor #kotfe/et #dude his armor is SO dark i couldn't see him on my screen for the majority of kotfe i thought his model disappeared #INVISIBLE... #i've also been thinking more about his role in this alliance that treats him in an incredibly utilitarian way #and since he's come to accept his role as a tool who just kills lana's enemies and nobody seems to debate that except to disapprove #he starts wandering off more and more #alternating between sleeping inside his quarters and camping outside to purposely make it difficult for people to find him lol #so they can't bother him with trivial tasks or lectures #andronikos laughs at lana and theron being irritated by it like haha. guess he doesn't like you lot after all to which they feel miffed by #but eight *is* a proud creature who can't be reigned in when his heart does not resonate with his keepers #and they decide it might be fair to let him do what he wants as long as he picks up when they call him #he ends up traveling through the rural regions of zakuul and enmeshing himself with the locals as a friendly sellsword #he just solves little problems he comes across sometimes for payment sometimes for free #and they think he's just a mercenary attracted by zakuul and they're like he's so nice...be careful sir the outlander might be out here #don't stay out too late but we'll know you'll protect us :) #they keep giving him shit like their vegetables and even a pack animal cuz he doesn't take money so whenever he comes back #the alliance is like where the fuck did you get these. #also you can't convince me the entire population of a planet is in (1) shitty city or none of them have already left for the wilds #the exiles do not count #esp since there's still remnants of life there im sure not everyone would give up their culture or way of living

A quick original piece inspired by a dream I had last night.

~~

The capital was even more annoying than they had expected. Oh they had known about the differences in fashion, the lack of green space, the different food, they had even been warned and prepared for the rampant dueling. Yet somehow, the people managed to be obnoxious enough to make up for it.

“Is this a trend,” he asked as he dodged a blow. “Are we expected to duel people for no actual reason? Should we be making shit up ourselves?” His current was the second duel in his family since he and his elder brother had been sent to the Capital. Just a week or so prior his brother been challenged by another young man who’d claimed he’d been spying on him, with no evidence nor warning. The other man had never given his true motive, but the consensus seemed to be that it was tied to his courting a young lady his brother had made friends with. Without his having made any declaration to court himself, he couldn’t duel him over her directly, but apparently found him enough of a threat to try to send a message anyway.

Joke on him, he’d been squarely beaten and if anything the whole drama had only brought the pair closer together.

“You’re courting my sister,” came the answer like it was obvious. It was very much not.

“First off-” Another dodge. This guy had learned from the other one and kept moving out of distance between each attempt, lest he pull the same ‘wait and strike’ maneuver as his brother. Which had been his plan, so good on him. “-I’m not courting anybody. Secondly, she isn’t my type. Thirdly, I thought you were supposed to duel over women you were courting, not any woman you know.”

“A young lady’s first suitor duels a male relative, to ensure his heart’s in it.” Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, he dove in for an attack that was deftly parried.

“Of fucking course.” Thank the gods he had no sisters, this whole mess was already aggravating enough. “Again, not courting anybody.”

“That’s not what she says.”

“Then she can eat it for all I care, I’m not interested!” Breathing heavily, the older man stood down, eyeing him for any sign of trick. He stared him down, sheathing his sword like a challenge.

“What,” the man said, “the fuck am I dueling you for then?” Like he was supposed to know. Really- ‘Go to the Capital, make connections, get married.’ Fuck his mother and fuck the bloodline, he wanted to go home.

“Ask your fucking sister.”

#achi writes #the setting- a region where the serious courting among the upper classes especially involves young men dueling their paramour's othr suitors #both to show off to her and to hopefully drive them off #with the goal of having her choose to marry them #the characters- a pair of brothers from the middle nowhere sent to the capital ostensibly to finish their educations #more actively to make political and trade connections while finding spouses that are less likely to be a distant relative #the plot- presumably following their adjusting to life in the capital #while falling in love and winning the hands of their respective love interests #(overall a very generic fantasy romance setting but it asked to be written so i did) #(also yes the elder brother does get the girl whose suitor decided to start shit- but not for a good while- they're friends before anything) #(the younger brother has a bit more of a time with it i think- as younger brothers tend to do in these sorts of stories)

Wowzie the gang is all here! Only two of them have names, but it's ok Ill figure smth out

#keese draws #oc art #ocs #oc posting #pls prepare for me to be a lil annoying with the self rbs on this one </3 #anyways I can FINALLY actually talk abt this story a lil bit now!! #Im still refining things but basically the main pov is the middle kid who used to be a tree and the son of an old powerful being #but one day his mom's forest got burned down and he died :( #but its ok he got better but only thousands of years later in an new body and hes trying to figure out what happened to him and his mom #pretty early on he ran into stanley and quartez who were two half siblings from the kingdom that most the other stories take place in #they had to leave and are mostly just wanderinf and trying to survive and stanley decides to help this odd lil fella out #the guy to the far right was found next in the region that the main kids mom used to control #they were being possesed by a magic user after being infected with this tree parasite but they managed to break the wizard's staff and #pacify the parasite mostly because of quartez getting possesed tbh but they found them too #they were here because they read of an anchient artifact and tried to find it and got possesed in tge process #now they have no idea where they are or how long theyve been possesed so party member aquired woo 🎉 #but theyre more interested in whatever is going on with these losers anyways so they sugguest that they try seeking out an old god that #lives deep in the dangerous waters of the seemingly endless ocean with the help of some of their magic #so they go down there main kid gets dragged away buy the kid to the far left but the big ocean lady manages to catch them both and is like #hi little ones whats up have my blessing #and the main kid is like can u bless my friends too? #and shes like ya hold on and summons the other three there #and meanwhile the eel girl is quietly freaking the fuck out because shes been raised with the goal of killing this lady #long story short she brings them home to subtly ask her parents what to do with them because thered been rumors that one of them has a #super powerful magic item that holds the power of another old god that might give them the strength to kill the ocean lady #and theyre like ok ok. lets not shed blood that we dont need to since the ocean god has her eyes on these guys and we dont want her #suspecting anything so just like tag along with them and gain their trust and then either steal it or have them give it to you #so then she joined the gang too yippee #and then ~stuff~ happens or whatever #thats the basic run down of the squad but I have more I just do not have the energy to go through everything rn dydkgdjsy

late night thoughts i guess ! so me and my team (except kuro who was caught in kalos by my brother) have literally never left galar . i know i want to and so do my pokemon but like. arceus i am indecisive

#ive always wanted to go to other regions but i could never decide #with all the hisui pokemon mess happening i know i should probably Stay in galar for a bit longer since theres not much happening but. #i really want to see what the other regions are like yknow ? #and i think the team would all do well with a change of scenery considering galar is a small region #kalos is my first thought since thats where kuro came from and its close but. im not sure #unreality #kuro the vivillon

There is a very tall plant with yellow flowers growing out of the middle of the bush honeysuckle

Its gotta be at least 7 feet tall

If its a native plant I am impressed. That honeysuckle was slowly killing 3 trees

I gotta get out there later to try and identify it. The flowers are facing away from the house so I can't see the front so looking at pictures of flowers isn't helping much. And I need a better look at the leaves. I think it may be a type of sunflower?

Idk how I havent noticed it before

Look at it go

#ive come to an impasse with the country im creating #in nationstates its a country in the south pacific cuz thats where the game placed me #which is fine. i dont really have a desire to change regions #HOWEVER im trying to decide what kind of plants it would have and i initially thought i would use plants that grow on islands in #the actual south pacific (like Aotearoa) #but im also trying to learn to recognize plants native to kansas since thats where i live #and i feel like this would be a good way to combine interests here so i can work on both at the same time #and my island doesnt necessarily have to have the same climate as the actual south pacific...it is fictional.... #mom says the flowers just started popping up the other day so thats why i didnt notice til now lol #havent been looking out back as much since i dont have to let layla out every couple of hours

And yet, the mainstream media has been framing this as Iran, for no reason (other than ohhh evil Iran), just decided to launch attacks on Israel.

Almost no mention that Israel blatantly violated the Geneva convention or that Iran said that they would refrain from retaliating if Israel and the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire.

And the Biden administration is going right along with this, they are so far beyond morally bankrupt at this point and I am utterly disgusted to call myself an American.

Shame on Joe Biden, his administration and any Democrat who, for the past 6 months, have had a roll in leading us to where we are now, the risk of a wider regional war, and 35,000 Palestinians murdered all because they have so little humanity that the lives of Palestinians mean less than nothing to them.

There is a special place in hell for these ghouls and I hope they never know a moment of peace for the rest of their miserable, despicable lives.

im a white jew, i was born in israel,

ive lived there all my life and was brought up in an environment that fosters racism driven by nationalism, nationalism driven by racism.

in israel, they teach you jews and muslims (though usually, they just say arabs) have always been enemies, the same way the US deems the entire middle east as a inherent war zone, ridding them of the responsibility for perpetuating war in thst region.

they tell you "were the fair and humane side who strives for peace! its the arabs who never accept the offer!"

i remember the first time i began doubting that sentiment was in fourth grade, when we were having a discussion in class about the character of Saul from the Torah. the teacher was talking about how Saul, the first monarch of the Kingdom of Israel, used to fight the Philistines, and when she added that the Philistines were the natural enemy of the Israelites, she asked the class what group of people is their modern equivalent to which everyone very eagerly replied "Arabs!" and nevermind that there in that same class sat two arab boys, one of whom sat next to me, who i looked at and thought "but he isnt my enemy? hes just a boy in my class."

they teach you to hate arabs. sometimes they say it outright. sometimes they say it more carefully, or make a distinction between good and bad arabs, those who are with us and those who are against us.

in a state based on the idea of (white) jewish supremacy, they teach you jews are naturally superior. they use the conspiratorial narrative of "jews controlling the world" to their favor, giving their own watered down explanation for why antisemitism exists, saying that it must be driven by jealousy.

the zionist movement always used antisemitism to its advantage, either for reinforcing the notion of jewish supremacy or appealing to the real pain and trauma of generations, people who survived the holocaust, connecting them to stolen land where they are "guaranteed" safety ergo granting "justification" for the suffering of others.

its using peoples real pain that makes fear mongering so effective, and when the israeli population grows up being told all of their neighboring countries want to kill them, they quickly get defensive of the "only land where they can feel safe", but the only explanation ever provided for Why these neighboring countries are considered enemies is because theyre arabs.

and when it comes to palestine, it isnt even recognized as a country, nor identity. just a threat. ive talked to many people who are genuinely unaware of the occupation, and they arent willing to believe it either, because the media narrative has successfully shifted the blame on hamas. because "how could it be us? we want peace! its the terrorists who make us look bad! and their children, they grow up to be antisemites*, might as well get rid of them too!" they never stop to think what environment these children must grow up in to develop these "radical" ideas.

* what they mean by antisemite is really just antizionist, but the term anti/zionist isnt practiced in local dialect, being a zionist is treated as a given

any jew who stands against israels oppression is dubbed a self hating jew, but the biggest contributors to antisemitism is the people in charge of an ethnostate, because at any moment they could decide who is not white enough to be jewish, who is too jewish to be white, who stood against the current coalition government and who is an obedient dog.

israelis arent a monolith, but many of them have been won over, convinced its an "us v them" situation, when in reality it could never be the "us" that "loses"

the israeli government was waiting for an event like the massacre on the seventh of october to declare war, to have the so called "right to defend itself", so they could initiate the final steps of an ethnic genocide and displace, if not kill, all remaining palestinians. under the guise of bringing peace.

it isnt too late to call for a permanent ceasefire, to end the occupation.

please contact your representatives, attend protests and rallies if you are able. palestine will be free, and the flowers will rise again.
