I realized the other night that I have had Amara quote a meme that just doesn't hit the same without that derpy-ass snake. I think I figured it out tho.

Dratini may have the most boopable snoot in the Pokémon universe… It looks like it makes a noise when you do it 💙

Intermittently I realize and then promptly forget that my weird habit of incessantly starting sentences or even conversations with "And" or "Also" is a byproduct of ADHD. The thoughts never cease, so every one is a continuation from a previous one, even if I haven't voiced any in the last hour+…

I just found this pic and find it hilarious because Juliana says that keysmash irl line to Penny in one of my fics almost verbatim.

Been enjoying scrolling through this project. (Also there's some super cute yuri on here.) Masquerain never gets enough love.

Sorry Dropbox uploads have been sluggish lately; I just added a full bio for Ross and his Pokémon, as well as updating Ginny's bio with the proper art for Martin (thanks again to Star Aether!) and filling in a blank I forgot. There's a lot in there if you guys haven't checked it out yet.

Well, that was embarrassing; had to re-reupdate my comm sheet because I forgot some words. Nothing says "I am an author you should pay money to" like overt typos in the flyer. >.<

My commission prices did have to go up, sadly, between cost of living and some of these taking way longer than I'd think. No shade to any clients or projects, mind you. I just want to be realistic about how much goes into these is all. Also added a safeguard against my inability to estimate. ^^;

another shitty AI account just dropped and is following artists with OCs! block this motherfucker immediately 💥

Good news everyone! I have my latest commission drafted as well as the next arc of "Brand New World". I was up super late doing the latter. Also for anyone who hasn't seen it, I posted a silly little Monster Hunter Wilds fic that I'd love if people checked out. I'll have more stuff up asap. ^^

Stop using ChatGPT. Stop letting GenAI do your thinking for you. They're making you lose focus. They want you compliant. They don't want you to think for yourselves. They don't want you to do anything but make money for them until you die. Don't let them have it. Don't give them what they want.

If you're going to forget a word in a sentence, make sure it's not the negative that changes the sentence's whole meaning. Follow me for more great writing tips! >.<

culturally insensitive things to say to your werewolf girlfriend.

Rosa and Hilda 🖤🤍🖤🤍 Comm for RMcolobro58

The next Gamma Admin, hot off the press from @ethanppj.bsky.social ! This is Ross, a private equity tycoon who is in charge of Team Gamma's cashflow and business ties. He's an impatient and petulant person, but can lay on that smarmy professional fake cheer managers seem to love for some reason.

I don't know if it's just me, but some of the music from Pokémon Colosseum sounds like it'd be a perfect fit for a Wario Land soundtrack (namely 4). No shade to the Orre music; the Wario Lands all sported phenomenal soundtracks, but there was a definite vibe to them that Orre picked up in places.

These are those "values" they want to get back to: when women were literally monetarily valued because they were the property of men, just like the way storybook (that totally wasn't written by mortal men) says it should be... People this evil being real and also allowed to breathe confuses me.

These bastards want us all to die, full stop. All the rhetoric and sophistry in the world cannot erase that. His solution to people he disagrees wanting to unalive themselves is "let them, in fact encourage them." Write your reps if you can.

Can we talk about the weird quirk where every place has a "secret" burger sauce, they are literally all Russian dressing or a variant thereof, we all know it, and yet if they just came out and said that's what they put on, people would be less likely to buy it? Is that weird to anyone else?

this is so real

New short is up. Also finally remembered to put that stupid fragment into the Dropbox like I said I would... however long ago that was. Time continues to have no meaning in the Screaming Twenties.

I wish I'd saved the post, but I saw someone the other day remark that you know somebody is using AI to write if they use em dashes (—) because no real person does. And I'd like to personally say fuck off, Riley and I actually got curious and spent time learning how to use those a couple years back

pov: you're having butt fun with Ethel :3

Best Kanto girl, you cannot convince me otherwise.

The level of stupid these bigots have is physically painful.

Ha. I feel called out and seen at the same time.

Pascal about JK Rowling and the anti trans law on UK: ‘I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist’

Friendly reminder that there is no canon that states there aren't accents in the Pokémon world that badly mangle pronunciations of Pokémon names. For instance: - "S'the legend of ol' Regis, innit?" - "Regis?" - "Yeah! Tall chap, bloody cold, no face!" - "Oh, Reg-ICE." - "Yeah, Regis! That's him!"

I'm not here

Well, @ethanppj.bsky.social has outdone themself again. I asked them to draw Ginny, since I know she's his favorite character of mine. And she gave me this lovely tantalizing pose, complete with barefoot and stocking alts. Really puts a lot of her curves on display. Thanks as always!

Did a little bit of writing; wanted to just do an unconnected short to shake the rust off and see if it'll help me past some of the blocks I've been having. Turns out I still cannot do short crack fics without well-researched scene dressing and trying to incorporate good characterization.
