My partner is truly one of the funniest people I've ever met. In an instant, he can take a line in a conversation, and turn it into a string of jokes -- all lighthearted too. He doesnt have a mean word in his mouth for anyone...but himself.

When we're at a party (remember when those existed?) or a new place, his wit does wonders to break the ice with new people. They can see, quickly, that he's clever but humble, and that his style of humor doesnt have any sharp edges that will hurt them, only himself. The word Im looking for is "charming." I've seen him do it before -- he can make strangers friends in a matter of minutes, and turn a silent room into one filled with voices and stories. It's genuinely so fun to be the plus-one of the man who's friends with everybody.

He seems to think that laughter is the rent he pays to be worthy of being somewhere -- and while that's plenty good for me in a lot of ways, sometimes I want him to know that he doesnt have to work so hard. Especially, since his self-deprecation bleeds outside of making jokes and into his view of himself in almost everything.

I know his self-esteem effects him deeply. He doesnt take opportunities he has the skill for because he doesnt see it. He mentions how he wants to dress well, but how mirrors take more out of him then they give.

I think he's handsome. He seems to think I'm wrong or pitying/flattering him.

I think he's talented and bright. He seems to think I'm too niave to see the truth.

He's never said as much, directly, but that's the implication. When someone gives you a compliment, and you earnestly tell them no, you either think they're incorrect or lying. I dont see another option.

It's sort of frustrating sometimes. I feel like he is so mean to himself so that he can let me know that he is insightful enough to see all "flaws" he genuinely thinks he has, and that he's trying to better himself out of them -- but while I can at least appreciate that idea, when he acts like I'm pitying him when I'm telling him my true opinions of him, it kind of makes me a little sad. Last night, we finally had the time and privacy to be intimate for the first time in a couple weeks, and when it was over, I told him it was fantastic because *it was.* He looked at me as if the compliment hurt a little bit somehow and listed a couple things he did wrong before I told him that wasnt what I remembered. He just laughed it off and thanked me for being sweet and putting up with him.

Sometimes I want to take him by the shoulders and say, "I work *so* many hours in a week, do you think I have the bandwidth to lie?? Especially when it so clearly doesnt work?" He thanks me often, like the things I do for him are favors, and while I get the sentiment, I do them for him because I want to and he deserves it, not because I'm pitying or am trapped in the relationship which he seems to think.

Some family situations have left me in charge of taking care of my two little sisters (11F, 14F) and the ammount of kindness and care he has towards them and patience towards me when I'm too tired to be any fun is nothing short of grace. He emptied his pockets when we were short on rent. He really is a good man. And if anyone spoke to him the way he speaks to himself, I'd kick their ass.

i’m like. legit ready to cry after reading this 🤧 your partner sounds so, so amazing. it’s so hard when the person you love so deeply and see in such a beautiful light doesn’t see themselves the same way. all i can say is...never stop telling him, never stop reminding him how beautiful he is, how kind, how funny. how safe and happy he makes you feel. it sounds like you already do all of that, but wow...you’re lucky to have one another. lots of love to you both 💚

Pokemon designs from the Gold/Silver demo

My friend linked me this today. It looks like a demo of Pokemon Gold and Silver released in 1997 was recently leaked https://operationrainfall.com/2018/05/31/pokemon-gold-beta-demo-has-been-leaked-after-21-years/

It's really interesting seeing some of the designs in their early stages. And some that never made it to the final version (which may have been a good thing)

After scrutinising the whole roster though I have some things I really want to say...

- what is that abomination Chikorita was going to evolve into?

- I have concerns about what Pichu, Cleffa and (especially) Igglybuff could have been

- there's one in there that looks like Huntail (gen 3) with a huge chin

- wtf is that Pokemon after Skarmory. It looks like a mushroom with a spike. Doesn't even have a face

- blows my mind that girafarig was originally gonna be literally two girafarig

- there's one that looks like a dying Meowth and that's just sad

- very glad we got Politoed instead of that weird frog

- one of them is literally goo (gen 1 did have ditto though so I'll give it that)

- Hoppip, Skiploom and Jumpluff originally all had huge tails but in the final none of them do

- the one that looks like Weepinbell with legs is legit the funniest thing I've seen all week

- I liked the original Murkrow design with the witch's hat. Wish they kept it...

- one of them is basically a rip off of Kon from Bleach...

- the legendary dogs look so strange but one of them looks uncomfortably similar to a certain chimera from fma...

Also interesting how some of these designs from so long ago appear to have been recycled for more recent gens
