Just a quick life update for all of you - having now gone through at least the first visit to all of my classes for this semester, I can safely say that I’ll likely be busy as hell. Like, reading 1-200 pages of material a week along with various assignments busy. Ah, the life of an English/Creative Writing major~ (even though the busiest class I have by far isn’t even for my major, with nine books of various sizes. But I digress.)
Anyway, I just wanted to apologize in advance if I vanish from the internet at any given point, or fail to promptly reply to asks and such. Similarly, I wanted to apologize for any further delays in entering ask blog fills in the future, or in me posting creative pieces in general. Believe me, I wish I didn’t have to make a post like this, but unless I magically get a rhythm down or some of these classes end up being not nearly as intimidatingly work-filled as they first appeared, this is gonna be a really busy semester for me. : (
Maybe tomorrow I won’t be exhausted and I’ll actually be able to work on the next ask blog fill.
…This semester’s looking to be a fairly busy one. But I think I’ll be fine once I can get back in to the swing of things.
Sorry about temporarily becoming a text post blog, by the way. : P
…My Lucas shirt hardly fits D,: I knew I should have ordered in unisex.
Asdf my last day of break and I was running around all day again. ;___; At least I got my polyfiber fill.
…Still haven’t unpacked my tablet. I’m so sorry, IKF ask blog. I’ll try to start on the next fill tomorrow.
I’m gonna go to bed for now, though. Thank goodness all of my classes are in the afternoon *_______*
And seriously wow I’m in this really weird emotion state right now and sorry I’m making so many text posts but I’m actually kind of upset? Not that it’s Japan-only, but that it’s Mother 2 again. I’ll probably feel better about this later and delete this text post because I feel like such an asshole just writing this, but I gotta get it off my chest, I guess.
Catching up on all the news I’ve missed while running around constantly without going on the internet: turns out the Mother news was Mother 2 for Japan’s VC?
…I should be happy. I really should. But…ah.
I know, that makes me sound like a major jerk. Wow, Asshole Nona has reared its head. But still.
Tablet’s not unpacked yet, so no drawing right now.
Fabric’s not unpacked yet (and I had no room to pack my polyfiber stuffing), so no sewing at the moment, either. (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I rediscovered that I love sewing stuff - specifically plushies, because I love plushies just in general - over winter break. That happened. Yes.)
…this is kinda selfish of me to say, but I feel like I lost a full week of break. Like, it vanished in to thin air. Or, rather, it vanished in to the impromptu New Jersey trip. I’ve been going around taking care of things nearly constantly for the last few days. And my next semester starts on Monday. Alas.
Thanks, Anon! :,D
I’m back from New Jersey! I haven’t been on the internet in several days :,D
I’m…exhausted.
ASDF VGA IS GONNA PLAY NI NO KUNI
I AM SO EXCITED
I’M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME MYSELF BECAUSE NO PS3 SO YAY YAY YAY
EVEN THOUGH I PROBABLY WON’T EVEN BE ABLE TO WATCH THE RECORDED STREAM FOR DAYS BECAUSE I’M GONNA BE RUNNING AROUND EVERYWHERE FOR THE NEXT WEEK, NOT EVEN KIDDING
I DON’T EVEN CARE
NI NO KUNI, YOU GUYS!
Hey, so I just wanted to let all of you know that I’ll be flying across the country to take care of family stuff tomorrow, so I probably won’t be particularly available for the next several days. We’ll see, I guess.
Another day, another complete inability to do anything remotely productive.
I might have to fly across the country to take care of things, too (and then fly straight back to school since my break is almost over, but I digress) and not knowing yet whether or not I’ll have to do that is insanely frustrating : U
Ugh I can’t concentrate on a single thing right now fhhgfjhfjhjgkjhgdgfhj.
Nice to know that if I even think about actively working on SaB, a relative of mine keels over.
Nope, not even kidding. That makes five.
I think I might have to break my promise and put SaB on an official hiatus. I just…I just can’t.
No, I do not ,: ) I tried it for a while, and just couldn’t really get in to it. Sorry! I’m pretty ambivalent to it, honestly.
I gotta give the homestucks this, though: they can make some insanely amazing fanart. Gotta give credit where credit is due.
Makes a great reaction image, too.
Then again, this exists:

“When you play this card, you may remove damage counters when your opponent isn’t looking. And no matter what you are told, pretend you don’t know about it.”
Just…his face.
Actually, I remember a fakemon a friend and I came up with in high school: it was an electric/dark type, and it kinda had a Quagsire thing going on where it was really sleek, so it gathered electricity that way? It also glowed in the dark. That was its main thing, really. I don’t remember much beyond that.
Then there was the flying-type Eeveelution I came up with waaaaaaaay back when I was but a wee Pokemon fan, and then Sky Forme Shaymin came out XD Though it obviously came out long after I was but a wee Pokemon fan, as I was a not-so-wee Pokemon fan when DPPt came out. Not that wings for ears is an original idea/is a thing that Pokemon hadn’t already done anyway, but still :,D
Oh crap, you’re right! Thanks ;____; Somehow I always spell his name wrong.
TM14: OBVIOUSLY THE ONLY ANSWER IS IMAKUNI. NOT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF I ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT THIS QUESTION, MY HEAD WILL PROBABLY EXPLODE. NOPE, DEFINITELY IMAKUNI.
My least favorite must also simultaneously be Imakuni.
(…but in all seriousness, it is really hard for me to pick a favorite! D: I like Eusine, I guess, though? As far as secondary characters I dislike…well, I actually really like Colosseum/XD, but pick any given Cipher admin. Except Miror B. He’s awesome.)
TM23: Probably when I finally managed to catch a shiny with the PokeRadar on my Pt cart, I think? Shiny hoppip~ :,D I’m very good at trying really hard to achieve things in Pokemon games, only to give up halfway.
I have a special soft spot for Celebi. I don’t remember exactly why. Followed very closely by Jirachi, for similar lack of actual reasons. But I really like Latias and Latios, too? And I like Victini a lot, as well. …I like Mewtwo, Ho-oh, and Cobalion in the “not sickeningly cute” category, as well.
My least favorite legendary is Deoxys, I guess. I don’t hate it, but we never hit it off, I suppose.
Not gonna lie, I think about this actively a lot more than I probably should.
I see myself liking training and breeding and every other possible thing and just not being amazingly good at any of them - just like I am in real life? Where I just want to do everything ever and am completely incapable of doing everything ever, much to my chagrin.
I would definitely be some sort of trainer, though, whether or not I had a Pokemon-centric career. If only for the excuse to travel the world and see the sights and just go do amazing things and make friends with Pokemon and stuff. /Blatant Nona Romanticism
I guess that’d make me some kind of Pokemon Watcher, in that case :,D I’d just want to go places and see stuff and do ALL THE THINGS, etc.
Well, I already answered TM12, so here’s TM36:
…I’d probably do something in a similar vein to BW, honestly - new autonomous region, plotline with actual developed themes, emphasis on really awesome secondary characters that actually have personalities and do more than sit around. Stuff like that. As far as a gimmick with the region goes, I’d probably go with something really off-the-wall, like…I dunno, but something really bizarre. Entire region caught in a time loop is the first thing that pops in to my head, to be honest, but something equally unusual would probably happen. (Though it’d be less Majora’s Mask and more…uh, not Majora’s Mask - time loop as a setting thing, rather than an overt game mechanic.)
As far as names go, we’re kinda running out of dichotomies to make Pokemon games out of…Maybe Sun and Moon? Sea and Stars…something cool-sounding that probably involves space, and is not necessarily based on colors. Though hey, they never made any Orange and Purple versions, now did they? ; D
TM11: Asdf starting with a hard one, of course. There’s so many gym leaders I like :,D So…I’m gonna cheat and pick a favorite from each gen. Haha, laziness! And by laziness I mean overthinking.
First gen favorite is…probably Sabrina? Especially her old outfit. I just always thought she was pretty cool? I dunno. Second gen favorite is probably the hardest to pick for me - it’s kinda a tie between everybody - so I’ll just go with Jasmine and move on, I guess. Third gen favorite is Watson because he feels kinda atypical? Like, I just like his extremely over-cheerful personality. He seems like a cool dude. Fourth gen favorite is Volkner because, again, sorta interesting personality thing going on. Fifth gen is kinda in a similar boat to second gen in that I like almost everybody, though not to the same extreme (I either love them or just feel ambivalent towards them in almost all cases), but damn Elesa’s design is cool, so I’ll go with her. (If you can’t win me over with a good character arc, Ms or Mr. Fictional Character, you can almost always win me over with looking really, really cool.)
My least favorite gym leaders are definitely Juan and Marlon, by virtue of feeling tacked-on and underdeveloped/underutilized, especially in the case of Juan.
TM12: Ugh, I get the feeling that these “favorite/least favorite” questions are all gonna be really complicated. Anyway, in this case it’s a matter of judging by character design, mostly, since silent protagonists are a thing that exist and I fill them with headcanon like you wouldn’t believe. So my favorite main character is probably Red. Because Red. Followed somewhat closely by Touya/Hilbert. But I’ve liked almost all of the main character designs, so again, kinda hard for me to choose? …I guess I have to go with Kouki/Lucas (D/P outfit, specifically) for least favorite, then. Sorry, dude - it’s not that I dislike you, but that I…like you the least? Ugh, that sounds really mean. : (
TM13: This one’s a bit easier. Favorite’s Silver, for sure, followed by Hue/Hugh (in Silver’s case because he’s such a jerk, wow, and it’s interesting watching how that goes for him, and in Hugh’s case because I just like him and stuff. I thought he was pretty interesting. Also, as usual in both cases, character arcs). Least favorite is either Brendan or May, depending on the protagonist you’re playing, because as an in-game rival they basically have no personality.

Pointless post to announce that I’ve made 500 posts! (Well, more than 500 now, counting this one, but still.) *confetti*
Also, distinctly sky- and earth-based legendaries, male/female connection to sky/earth respectively being a common element in world mythologies, the subtitles of the games being X and Y versions…is this a purposeful thing?
Let’s be honest, I’m probably over-thinking it (and probably not the first to notice, either), but it’s just something I noticed, regardless.
Not gonna lie
I think the new starters are all adorable.
It grows impatient; it thrashes and struggles in its bindings with each needle pulled, and even when only its head is bound and battle is waged just above it, it can only calm itself to the extent of writhing in place, listening for who will free it.
(ugh man SORRY THIS IS SO LATE)
*looks at note count on corndog doodle and nearly spits soda all over laptop*

Also, sorry for the huge amount of posting spam : P
It was cold as ever in the Ice Kingdom, and the Ice King had likely forgotten that she was even visiting in the first place, but Marceline flew to the highest mountain, bass strapped to her back, regardless.
Nowhere else did she feel more whole than in her pursuits to play God.
The Pigmask was more relieved than anything else to finally give his gift to the Commander - “entirely platonic, I swear!” he insisted - and he sincerely hoped that the Commander’s unusually flustered expression meant that he liked it, and not that he was seething instead.
Loid is sure that they never would have met if not for their journey, the distances between their homes so vast and their personalities so conflicting, but it doesn’t stop him from smiling and laughing with them all the same.
EVE’s last thought, knowing what would happen even as its systems started to fail, was that it wished the three of them could sing songs together.
The sound of it was alarming, after so long, and he let the word roll off his tongue as he tried to renew his attachment to it; that’s right, Claus was his name!
It wasn’t as warm as they were used to, the land not as vast nor the sky as immense, but at least on display they were together.
