On xenia
In this world, there is a concept so deeply ingrained in all of us, it is almost universal. In terms of culture, most of the world shares it. Yet it has a variety of names, and many people do not know the rules they nonetheless follow unconsciously.
I speak, of course, of the assistance and hospitality provided to Trainers on their journeys.
Around the world, youths will go on journeys. To become Trainers, to become Pokemon Masters, or simply to expand their horizons. These journeys help these youths become well-rounded adults, who understand more of the world. However, such journeys cannot be undertaken alone- Not only with the Pokemon at your side, but Pokemarts, Pokemon Centers, and the League will help anyone on their way... But it is not just that.
While Trainers can generally get free lodgings and some meals at Pokemon Centers... But cities are large, and not every Trainer may be able to find it. At night, Trainers can simply pick a house to enter and will generally be given lodgings and food for the night. Similarly, even if there is not food, or if it is not night, Trainers will often receive gifts from those they meet in towns, in houses, and along the roads.
This is known by many names in many cultures. In Unova, and Galar, it is known as 'xenia'. In the Kanjoh area, it is called 'omotenashi'. Though the name changes, and the exact rules vary by area, it is known as the 'rules of hospitality', or 'sacred hospitality'.
If a Trainer needs lodgings, it is the host's responsibility to those who travel to help them. However, the host does not need to extend beyond their means- If they have nothing they can give that would not harm themselves to lose, there is no obligation to. The hosts must ensure their own health and safety first, and then attend to the guests' needs.
Furthermore, the guests also have an obligation. Be polite, be courteous. In the past, the travelers had the obligation to tell the hosts news of the surrounding areas. However, now that TV and the internet exist, this has been replaced with simply stories- We ask the Trainers to tell us of their journeys. And that way, the joy they experience upon their journey can be shared with others.
In every culture in our world, with very few exceptions, community is the most important thing. There are some who choose to become ascetics, but for the most part, Trainers and journeys would be impossible alone- It is our community, the shared joys and sorrows and shared resources of people that allow our journeys to happen. This, more than any technology, is the shining achievement of humanity- That we help and care for each other.
Kindness and community allow the journey to exist. And anywhere you go, you will find friends.

Happy Mother’s Day to the people who don’t have a mom. Who have a shitty mom, who don’t feel like latching onto the nearest adult woman on the site to get pseudo adopted, who are frankly scared of maternal affection because they don’t know how to distinguish it from abuse. I see you guys.

Lugia knows I wouldn't wanna be back in that pit of a region!
- ⚗️
I've never been before. Petr says that he'll show me around the main city. For such a big region, there really isn't a whole lot out there.
The main base is an old Sylph factory we took over. Luckily, trouble isn't with the authorities yet. Mostly just other gangs. But, if shit keeps up, then we can't be so sure the authorities won't notice, so.
Petr keeps saying he wants to check up on something but then he goes back to muttering in Tiksan. So. Yayyyyy.

I wonder if there are any cross breeds of Sigilyph you know about?
Yup! Here's my favorite one
Pokemon Crossbreeds: Deadeye
(Name by @sneasedtomeetyou )
Deadeye is the name for Sigilyph whose fathers were members of the Decidueye line. Their name comes from the term Deadeye, referring to someone who is good with an arrow, something used to tighten things on ships or dead bodies, and because of Sigilyph's single eye.
Tumblr media
Deadeye Sigilyph gain the facial patterns of Decidueye on their body, tails that resemble leaves, Decidueye's hood, and Decidueye's wings. Deadeye Sigilyph have been seen in ancient tropical ruins near the Alola region (Sigilyph aren't in Alola). Historians believe that they started being bred to watch over forests. People today still like to use them for this task, often as a way to find illegal poaching in protected areas. It has the impeccable aim of decidueye and rarely misses an attack.

I do not oppose or take issue with recreational use of marijuana, generally. I have not and will not try it myself, but since it is rather harmless generally, it is fine for people to use in moderation.
However, if I see or hear of another Sprigatito named after the plant, I may change my stance entirely out of spite.
