tagged to post my 9 favourite album with commentary by @mathewbaldzal !!!! we r two peas in a pod i think with having a lot to say about some tunes...

in no particular order...

different class (1995) - pulp. this is not my no1 album of all time because i don't have a favorite album of all time, but this album is in part representative of "getting into music" to me. i love 90s britpop, whatever that means for a random american and this is my fav of em all (though i do actually quite rate this is hardcore in pulp's discography). "common people" is one of the songs of ALL TIME. god jarvis's little sing-song sleazyness gets me. really, really, really great classic performance of it at glasto 1995...for some reason "pencil skirt" also always really hits.

home video (2021) - lucy dacus. the newest album on this list by a long shot, but it's had songs in my top5 year end lists since it came out. i've also seen lucy live <3. this album rises above some of the others in similar company (punisher - phoebe bridgers, the boygenius ep, etc) because i never get tired of it. "first time" "hot & heavy" "brando" and "triple dog dare" are nearly always standbys in my listening history. probably gonna be an album-i-listened-to-in-college classic forever...

songs of love and hate (1971) - leonard cohen. maybe none of my favorite leonard cohen songs are on this album, but as a single work, this album stuns me. possibly the most transfixing 44:21 i've ever heard. his lyricism in particular is -- i can't even describe it. the mix with his voice, the sparseness of the instrumentation at time, the harmonies. i'm not a big stories guy but in this, yeah, the songwriting, the stories. i don't think there's another album like this one out there, really.

if you're feeling sinister (1998) - belle & sebastian. the first time i heard this album, i thought i had never heard an album so perfect. i love songs off of it but i nearly always listen to it whole. i love, love, love b&s's early sound (twee, if you will), and stuart murdoch's lyrics really, really shine. this is one of my favorite albums to listen to when i have a headache because it's lovely to just, focus on but not grating at all. i really love "judy and the dream of horses" and "get me away from here i'm dying". really, a beautiful work

rumours (1977) - fleetwood mac. i was sort of scrolling through some of my playlists trying to decide what to put on this list (it's a bit weighted towards stuff that's in rotation now) and i couldn't leave off fleetwood mac (in part to represent the huge part of my music taste that is like. classics 1965-1980). stevie nicks was one of my earlier music obsessions (the OG was the beatles). so many wonderful songs and riffs. i know this was left off the original 12-inch but "silver springs" is one of my favorite songs forever and ever and ever...

nebraska (1982) - bruce springsteen. when it comes down to it, this is my favorite springsteen album. i do think his 1975-1987 run of albums is pretty much perfect but nebraska is a masterpiece in a way that i find hard to express in words. there's a sense of sparseness and distance in this work (in part bc of how it was recorded) that i find so utterly compelling i can't even describe. "nebraska" - especially this 1984 live version - is a perfect song to me. perfect. i also like a lot of the stuff that went into inspiring this album (notably flannery o'connor) and well. where it fits into springsteen's narritivization of his own life (dude was in the dumps).

all killer, no filler (2001) - sum41. this pick is a little bit representative of the era of my life where i basically exclusively listened to pop punk but if songs of love and hate is an album that's perfectly drawn out, this is an album that's perfectly compressed. like, the title is correct. this album is fucking TIGHT. i used to listen to it at a job i hated to make the 30-min intervals go by. and it's got such classics...."fat lip"..."motivation..." of course, "in too deep." SO good.

what did you expect from the vaccines? (2011) - the vaccines. maybe this pick is a tiny bit cheesy but it is a perfect encapsulation of the era of alt rock it came from. which i love. i really like the vaccines, i think they're super fun and i did see them in concert finally and they totally lived up to that. "wetsuit" is again...one of my favorite songs of all time. "if you wanna" is a perpetual banger.

age of consent (1983) - new order. again, an album that deserves to be listened to whole, despite how good "age of consent" hits alone ever single time. sometimes i think i like another new order album more than this, but i don't. sumner's voice just out-of-tune ringing out over that sound, that new order sound, the bass, that post-punk club vibe. they're a band that don't sound like anyone else, and this is the album most indicative of that. wow, every time.

a few narrow misses

boxer (2007) - the national. i didn't get the national until one day i did. "slow show." my god. hello.

very (1993) - pet shop boys. it's too simple to say this is an album about gay love because it's so embedded in it's context but. this is an album with so much love. psb are brilliant.

the execution of all things (2002) - rilo kiley. jenny lewis CALL ME. also like. you know "a better son/daughter". there's more.

a thousand suns (2010) - linkin park. i used to listen to this at 6th grade cross-country practice. first band i ever got into on my own. idk.

this is not only my favorite albums but a pretty decent summation of the broad strokes my overall taste. thank you again for the tag!! i enjoyed doing this a lot :). idk who has done this/on what blogs so if u have PLEASEEEEE send it to me i want to see!! i tag @lfcrobbo @upthebrackets @girlfriendline @odegoob @amandaleveille @thelittlebirdthatkeptsomanywarm @kritischetheologie @bright-and-burning @a-corn-field if any of u want to but no presh!!!

#i HAVE been listening to albums off some of these that i've seen ppl do (sez i've only listened to wisecrack but more of urs r on my list)#and there have been notable instances of me falling in LOVE with albums off things like these others have done (c mentioning the midnight #organ fight and passive me aggressive you which have become mainstays for me lol)#SO like always if u wanna chat about music or rec me things i'm so here lololol #shshshsh why did i think i had to tag 9 ppl i'm sitting there like oh gotta get 9 and then realized it's just however many u want.#well i want to know everything about all music taste ever so 9 it is...#tag game #yahooo!!!! <33333333333

I know I'm probably a weirdo for this, but one day I got to thinking, what if Pokemon was lingually accurate? Like, if characters were named appropriately based on their region? So I actually went through Bulbapedia and compiled a list of every major character's names in other languages. And just in case anyone else was curious, I thought I'd share it.

I'm going from the English base, so I'm majorly not including Unova, Galar, and most of Alola. Ones that are weird or are migrants I give explanations for.

Kanto: Japanese

Red: Same in English and Japanese

Leaf: Same in English and Japanese

Blue: Technically referred to as Green in Japanese since the original games were Red and Green (hence remakes being FireRed and LeafGreen), but is considered Blue internationally and it makes more sense to me (Red picks Charmander, rival picks Squirtle to be better, thus Blue).

Kakeru (Chase)

Ayumi (Elaine)

Shin (Trace)

Takeshi (Brock)

Kasumi (Misty)

Lt. Surge: His original title is "The Lightning American" and there's a whole tribute gym to his in Alola, so it's very likely he's from an America-inspired region, thus English name.

Erika: Same in English and Japanese

Kyou (Koga)

Anzu (Janine)

Natsume (Sabrina)

Katsura (Blaine)

Kanna (Lorelei)

Siba (Bruno)

Kikuko (Agatha)

Wataru (Lance)

Rocket-dan (Team Rocket): Literally written in katakana "ro-ke-t(su)-to"

Sakaki (Giovanni)

Ohkido Yukinari-hakase (Professor Samuel Oak)

Johto: Japanese

Hibiki (Ethan)

Kris: Same in English and Japanese

Kotone (Lyra)

Silver: Same in English and Japanese

Hayato (Falkner)

Tsukushi (Bugsy)

Akane (Whitney)

Matsuba (Morty)

Shijima (Chuck)

Mikan (Jasmine)

Yanagi (Pryce)

Ibuki (Clair)

Itsuki (Will)

Karin (Karen)

Minaki (Eusine)

Apollo (Archer)

Athena (Arianna)

Lambda (Petrel)

Lance (Proton): Yes, this is confusing with the Indigo Champion's English name being Lance.

Utsugi-hakase (Professor Elm)

Hoenn: Japanese

Yuuki (Brendan)

Haruka (May)

Mitsuru (Wally)

Tsutsuji (Roxanne)

Touki (Brawly)

Tessen (Wattson)

Asuna (Flannery)

Senri (Norman)

Nagi (Winona)

Fū (Tate)

Lan (Liza)

Juan: His Japanese name is Adan, but he uses different foreign words by localization (English in Japanese, Spanish in Viz's anime dub, and French in the Adventures manga's translation) so is likely foreign. Juan is his name in English, German, and French.

Mikuri (Wallace) Rune no Tami (Sootopolitan)

Kagetsu (Sidney)

Fuyou (Phoebe)

Glacia: Her name in Japanese is Prim, but she's implied to be from a more Western-based region. Glacia is her name in both English and French.

Genji (Drake)

Tsuwabuki Daigo (Steven Stone)

Datsura (Noland) Factory Head: Same in English and Japanese

Kogomi (Greta) Arena Captain (Arena Tycoon)

Tucker: Implied to be foreign, especially as his Japanese name is Heath. Tucker is his English name, and most other Romantic translations are loosely similar and come from the respective languages' word for "tactics". Dome Superstar (Dome Ace)

Azami (Lucy) Tube Queen (Pike Queen)

Ukon (Spenser) Palace Guardian (Palace Maven)

Jindai (Brandon) Pyramid King: Same in English and Japanese

Lila (Anabel) Tower Tycoon (Salon Maiden)

Higana (Zinnia) Denshousha (Lorekeeper)

Lutia (Lisia) Lutti (Lissi)

Tylulu (Ali): Lisia's Altaria

Magma-dan (Team Magma): Literally written in katakana "ma-gu-ma"

Matsubusa (Maxie)

Kagari (Courtney)

Homura (Tabitha)

Aqua-dan (Team Aqua): Literally written in katakana "a-ku-a"

Aogiri (Archie)

Ushio (Matt)

Izumi (Shelly)

Odomaki-hakase (Professor Birch)

Sinnoh: Japanese

Kouki (Lucas)

Hikari (Dawn)

Jun (Barry)

Hyouta (Roark)

Natane (Gardenia)

Sumomo (Maylene)

Maximum Mask (Crasher Wake): Maybe a little more clearly than the English name, it's a stage name and his real name is unknown. He's called "Maxi" for short, so it could just be that.

Fantina or Kiméra: Her name in Japanese is Melissa, which is a clearly Western name along with using foreign phrases. The difficulty here is in original Japanese (as well as French, logically) she speaks English, while most other localizations she speaks French. Fantina is her name in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Kiméra is her name in French.

Suzuna (Candice)

Denzi (Volkner)

Ryou (Aaron)

Kikuno (Bertha)

Ōba (Flint)

Goyou (Lucian)

Shirona (Cynthia)

Kurotsugu (Palmer) Tower Tycoon: Same in English and Japanese

Neziki (Thorton) Factory Head: Same in English and Japanese

Dahlia: Same in English and Japanese Roulette Goddess (Arcade Star)

Kokuran (Darach): His Lady may be likely Unovan, but his lineage is never specified and he seems to have a Hisuian ancestor, so him being from Sinnoh is likely, hence Japanese name. Castle Butler (Castle Valet)

Argenta or Kate: Kate is her name in Japanese and is clearly Western. Argenta is her name in English, German, and Spanish. Stage Madonna (Hall Matron)

Momi (Cheryl)

Gen (Riley)

Baku (Buck)

Miru (Mira)

Mai (Marley)

Looker: Honestly, I just prefer Looker because it seems smoother to say as a codename than his Japanese codename which is Handsome. Looker also has the double meaning that Handsome doesn't, like he's looking/watching, because he's a detective. Looker is also his name in Portuguese, and sometimes in German, Spanish, and Italian. Every one of his codenames is a reference to his appearance ex. LeBelle in German and Beladonis in French.

Ginga-dan (Team Galaxy)

Akagi (Cyrus)

Mars: Same in English and Japanese

Jupiter: Same in English and Japanese

Saturn: Same in English and Japanese

Pluto (Charon)

Nanakamado-hakase (Professor Rowan)

Hisui: Japanese

Teru (Rei) Chō satai (Survey Corps' (Trainer class))

Shō (Akari) Chō satai (Survey Corps' (Trainer class))

Ginga-dan (Galaxy Expedition Team): Shares it's name with the modern Team Galaxy in Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and Italian.

Kamado or Denboku: His original home region is unknown and he bears Galarian armor that looks strikingly similar to Kalosian Wikstrom. Denboku is from raidenboku, an alternate reading of the Japanese rowan, nanakamado, which is Rowan's Japanese name. Kamado also comes from nanakamado.

Shimaboshi (Cyllene): She is originally from Hoenn, but Hoenn is also Japanese so that means nothing for her name.

Perilla (Zisu) Keibi-tai (Security Corps)

Kine (Pesselle) Iryō-tai (Medical Corps)

Tao Hua: Same in English and Japanese Seizō-tai (Supply Corps)

Sazanka (Sanqua) Kenchiku-tai (Construction Corps)

Nabana (Colza): His original region is apparently unknown, but Japanese is still a safe bet. Also most other localizations stem from Nabana rather than Colza. Hatasaku-tai (Agriculture Corps)

Haku (Rye) Hatasaku-tai (Agriculture Corps)

Mube (Beni): His home region is apparently unknown, but Japanese is a safe bet. Imozuru-tei (The Wallflower): [directly from Bulbapedia] From imozuru (vines of Japanese mountain yam or sweet potato), Mitsuru (Wally), and tei (common suffix in restaurant names)

Taisai (Choy)

Sharon (Anthe): Oddly, Sharon is her Japanese name.

Kongō-dan (Diamond Clan)

Seki (Adaman) Osa (Clan Leader)

Yone (Mai) Captain (Warden)

Hinatsu (Arezu) Captain (Warden)

Susuki (Iscan) Captain (Warden)

Tsubaki (Melli) Captain (Warden)

Wasabi (Sabi) Captain (Warden)

Shinju-dan (Pearl Clan)

Kai (Irida) Osa (Clan Leader)

Kikui (Lian) Captain (Warden)

Yūgao (Calaba) Captain (Warden)

Garana (Palina) Captain (Warden)

Hamarenge (Gaeric) Captain (Warden)

Shō-Chiku-Ba (Miss Fortunes)

Omatsu (Charm) Yatō (Bandit)

Otake (Clover) Yatō (Bandit)

Oume (Coin) Yatō (Bandit)

Ichō Shōkai (Ginkgo Guild)

Ginnan (Ginter)

Tsuiri (Tuli)

Volo: Same in English and Japanese Pokemon Tsukai (Pokemon Wielder)

Cogito (Cogita): She is a whole ass mystery, but Cogita (her name in English and German) is just a (non-existent) feminine form of Cogito, her Japanese name, which comes from Latin and basically means "I think", as in Decaretes' "cogito, ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am". French and Chinese use the respective language's variation of the phrase as a base for her name, while Spanish and Italian use Greek words, for "wisdom" and "intelligence" respectively.

Professor Laventon: He's Galarian, so his name is English.

Unova: English The only ones I'm doing here are ones that AREN'T necessarily the English version.

Clay or Yakon: I've heard Clay may play on Japanese businessman tropes, and he has an ancestor in Hisui, so his name could be either of these.

Lacey or Taro: As Clay's daughter, her situation is the same as his.

Cyrano or Mirtilo: English and Spanish names respectively. Lives in Unova, but as Clavel's classmate could be from Paldea maybe? Saffron or Milo: As above

Kalos: French

Kalem (Calem)

Serena: Same in English and French

Sannah (Shauna)

Trevor: Same in English and French

Tierno: Same in English and French

Violette (Viola)

Lino (Grant)

Cornélia (Korrina) Héritière (Successor)

Amaro (Ramos)

Lem (Clemont)

Mache (Valerie): Mache is actually originally from Johto, hence her Japanese name.

Astera (Olympia)

Urup (Wulfric): Given he likely has a Hisuian ancestor, it wouldn't be unlikely for his name to be Japanese. Luckily, his Japanese and French names are the same!

Malva: Same in English and French

Narcisse (Siebold)

Wikstrom or Thyméo: Since we know his armor is likely Galarian his English name isn't out of place, but his French name is Thyméo.

Dracéna (Drasna)

Dianthéa (Diantha) Grande-Duchesse (Grand Duchess)

Aurore (Morgan)

Méridia (Dana)

Vesper (Evelyn)

Nix (Nita)

Millie (Emma) Elili (Essentia) Femme Louche (Suspicious Woman) Enfant Louche (Suspicious Child) Jeune Femme Louche (Suspicious Lady)

Gribouille (Mimi): Millie's Espurr friend

Team Flare: Apparently the same in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Lysandre: Same in English and French

Ancolie (Aliana)

Brasénie (Bryony)

Cyane (Celosia)

Myosotis (Mable)

Xanthin (Xerosic)

Professeur Platane (Professor Sycamore): Somewhat surprisingly, his Japanese and French names are the same, though they do both originate from the French word platane.

Alola: English Hawaii is an American state, and there isn't a Native Hawaiian translation of the games, so English is the default language here. But Hawaii does have ties to the East, so I will use some of the Japanese names if they make more sense to me. Most are just slight spelling changes anyhow.

Yo (Elio): Moved from Kanto to Alola, so Japanese name.

Mizuki (Selene): Moved from Kanto to Alola, so Japanese name.

Ma'o (Mallow): Technically her Japanese name is just Mao, but ma'o is the Hawaiian word for Hawaiian cotton and I feel spelling it that way feels better.

Sophocles or Māmane: Both names after the same plant, the Sophora chrysophylla, it's common and local Hawaiian name being māmane.

Hapu'u (Hapu): Hapu'u is her name in Japanese and comes from hāpuʻu, the Hawaaian tree fern.

Molayne or Mullein: Molayne is just a different spelling tbh and I kinda think it looks better.

Skipping Galar; there aren't really a lot of clear foreigners besides Kabu whose name is the same.

Paldea: Spanish and Portuguese I look at both languages because Paldea is based on the Iberian Peninsula and not just Spain. However, with Portuguese, I'm having to look at Brazilian Portuguese, which is not quite the same as European Portuguese, because that's almost all that's on Bulbapedia. I generally choose whether to use Spanish or Portuguese based on if said name is also the same as the English and/or Japanese name. Or default if only one is available. Also uhh my order might be a bit weird here because I didn't get to actually play these games. I kinda assumed you go through the teachers before Gym Leaders, so...yeah. I can re-order it later if that's wrong or confusing.

Florian: From an unknown region, but the same in English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.

Juliana: From an unknown region, but the same in English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.

Nemo(?): She is noted to not be from Paldea but her home isn't specified so it could be anything. Nemona is her name in English and E. Portuguese, Nemo in Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, and Thai, Noêmia in B. Portuguese, Nemila in German, Nemola in Indonesian, and Nemi in Italian. The odd ones out are Mencía in Spanish and Menzi in French.

Arven: Same in English and B. Portuguese

Academia Naranja (Naranja Academy)

Academia Uva (Uva Academy)

Miriam: Same in English and B. Portuguese

Saguaro: Same in English, Japanese, and B. Portuguese (as well as German and French)

Dendra: Same in English and B. Portuguese

Cloe or Mora (Raifort): Cloe is her name in Spanish, and Mora is her name in French, which I only include because her English/Japanese name Raifort is from the French word for horseradish apparently, so maybe she's Kalosian.

Silvio (Salvatore)

Mila (Tyme)

Jacques (Jacq): The B. Portuguese name as it's closer to his English name. His Spanish name is Cinio, which is Spanish for his Japanese name, Zinnia, which could be confusing considering Higana.

Clavel: Same in Japanese, Spanish, German, French, and Italian. English and B. Portuguese just adds another L. Clive: Same in English and B. Portuguese Director Escolar (Director)

Catarina (Katy): Her B. Portuguese name, which is closer to her name in English (Katy) and Japanese (Kaede).

Brais or Brás (Brassius): His Spanish and B. Portuguese names respectively, as both are very close to his English name.

Kissera (Iono): Her B. Portuguese name, comes from "O que será?" apparently meaning "what will it be?", which is closer to the intent behind her name in Japanese (Nanjyamo, name given to an unusually large tree that grows in a particular place; literally meaning "What is it?") and English (Iono, as in "I don't know") than her Spanish name, e-Nigma. Which makes me think of the Riddler.

Fuco (Kufo)

Laureano or Lauro (Larry): His Spanish and B. Portuguese names respectively. Larry could be a nickname for either though.

Lima or Citrina (Ryme): Her Spanish and B. Portuguese names respectively. Lima has the same puns on lime and rhyme that English and Japanese does, but tbh makes me think more of lima beans. Citrina is from citrino (citrus).

Tuli or Tulipa (Tulip): Her Spanish and B. Portuguese names respectively.

Grusha: Actually may be from an unrevealed Russian region as his name is Russian. It's also the same in most languages.

Cayena or Kaya (Rika): Her Spanish and B. Portuguese names respectively. Both come from cayenne, which isn't in her Japanese or English names. Her Japanese name is Chili, and Rika comes from paprika.

Poppy: Her name in English, Japanese, and B. Portuguese as well as German and Indonesian.

Hassel?: From and unknown region so could literally be anything, and all his names are very different.

Ságita or Guita (Geeta): Her Spanish and B. Portuguese names respectively. Supercampeona (Top Champion)

Team Star: Same in English and Spanish as well as German, French, and Italian

Penny: Actually from Galar, so her English name. Cassiopeia or Casiopea: English and Spanish forms respectively, referencing the constellation.

Giacomo: Same in English and B. Portuguese DJ Vil (DJ Vice)

Melo or Mélia (Mela): Spanish and B. Portuguese respectively.

Henzo (Atticus): Spanish name. Not like English or Japanese name, but his whole ninja theming makes Henzo fit better than the B. Portuguese Érico.

Ortega: Same in English and B. Portuguese, similar to Japanese, French, and Korean Ortiga.

Erin or Êri (Eri): Spanish and B. Portuguese respectively.

Profesor Sada: Same in English and EUROPEAN Portuguese, listed for once.

Profesor Turo: Same in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Kitakami: Japanese Not a region itself I don't think, but it's not connected to a specific region I don't think, so.

Zeiyu (Carmine)

Suguri (Kieran) Sugu (Kiki)

Sazare (Perrin): Actually from Sinnoh, but this is where you meet her so here she is. Shashinka (Photographer)

What do you think? Did I forget anyone important?

Okay this took way too long for something probably no one will see okaybaiiiiii

Lauren Ash & More Stars To Recur In Disney Channel Series ‘Kiff’: Exclusive Theme Song Reveal

HollywoodLife can exclusively reveal the premiere date, recurring cast, and theme song of the new Disney Channel animated series 'Kiff.'

youtube

Major names have joined the recurring cast of Kiff, the new Disney Channel animated series premiering on March 10 at 8 p.m. and March 15 on Disney+. HollywoodLife can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that the recurring voice cast includes Lauren Ash, James Monroe Iglehart, Rhys Darby, Kate Flannery, and Eugene Cordero.

James and Lauren will voice Kiff’s parents, Martin and Beryl. Deedee Magno Hall will voice Kiff’s teacher, Miss Deer Teacher. Other recurring cast members include Eugene as Kiff’s neighbor, The Pone, and the school secretary, Secretary Prince; Josh Johnson as Barry’s brother, Harry Buns; Eric Bauza as TV producer Roy Fox and Kiff’s classmate Reggie; and Vella Lovell as Kiff’s classmate Candle Fox.

The recurring cast doesn’t stop there. The voice cast also features Steve Little as the town city manager, Glarbin Gloobin; Kent Osborne as the school janitor, Sweepy Steve; Gary Anthony Williams as artist manager Flam Bingo; Mary Mack as Kiff’s classmate Renee; Rhys as a troll living under a bridge, Trollie; Tom Kenny as Kiff’s classmates Trevor, Gareth, and Darryn; Katie Crown as town barista, Pawva; Kate as laundromat owner and Helen’s sister, Agnes; Nichole Sakura as Barry’s sister, Terri Buns; and Rachel House as Barry’s mom, Mary Buns.

The Kiff theme song, which you can watch and listen to above, is a fun and energetic bop. The video takes you through Kiff’s world and the characters she’s going to encounter along the way.

Orange is the New Black alum Kimiko Glenn stars in the titular role of Kiff, whose thirst for life takes her on countless adventures through their city alongside Barry, voiced by H Michael Croner. Kiff was created and executive produced by Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal.

Legendverse family hcs ( for now)

Insert Silver family tree here....okay but really, yeah, Ariana is Silver's mom and Mars is his older sister. There's a pretty big step gap between the two: Mars being 18-20 and Silver being 10-12 by the HGSS/Platinum arc. Mars actually hates her father, and joined Team Galactic thinking they would actually create a new better world. I think she ran away when she was younger, actually, only stumbling upon Cyrus sometime in her later teens. When she turned 18, she swore loyalty to him , and joined Team Galactic! Okay back to the hc

I like the idea of Ariana, Byron and Maxie being cousins so I'll add it to the family free for now.

I mentioned this before, but Winona and Anabel are siblings! Bugsy is their little cousin.

Alder and Flint ( and by proxies benga and buck) are very distant cousins, neither know that they are related to each other.

Tucker and Fantina are definitely related, but I'm not entirely sure how. I do like the idea of Jupiter being part of the family tree, either as Fantina's younger sister or niece.

Since the GO Leaders are in this au, I figured I could try and add the GO team rocket ( possibly as part as RR, or the ones in charge of the much smaller, much less powerful team rocket that's working underground). So Arlo is related to Lucy ( battle frontier). Again, not exactly sure how, but they are! And like in the anime, Lucy and Barbara are sisters.

Grimsley has two other siblings, one older and one younger ( heh, middle child). One ditched him and went to Galar and eventually got with Pier's and Marnie's mom. I'm still not sure of how I feel about Larry being Giacomo's dad, but I do have some room where the other sibling married Larry and had Giacomo.....they would be divorced by the beginning of the game, and Giacomo lives with his mom. Again not sure if I'll go with this fully, but that's the idea for now.

I still don't know what's funnier. Volo having a slutty era which resulted in him getting several descendants. Or Volo messing with one person and that one person leads to a very long and confusing line. Regardless, Volo didn't pay for child support and Zero snacks him in the head for it. As for his descendants, there's obviously Cynthia, and I think Lusamine is another one of them. Colress is a maybe right now.

Speaking of Colress him being related to clemont and Bonnie is a fun idea. Either as their or their weird uncle, it seems like a fun idea. Not sure if I'll make it canon though.

Bertha and Agatha are either sisters or cousins I have not decided. Either way, I think it'll be cute for Bertha to meet little Blue and Green. ( I...really like the idea of Agatha actually being Blue's grandma. Though it's clear the two- Agatha and Oak I mean- are long since divorced. Just some food for thought).

Not exactly a family hc, but I do see Phoebe being half Alolan. She was pretty much born and raised in Hoenn though. I don't exactly see her being related to anyone in Alola ( that we know of I mean). Her Alolan parent did teach her about Alolan culture and she visits from time to time.

I freaking love the "Kabu is Flannery's uncle " hc man. It's so sweet.

And finally, Guzma and Professor Willow are distant cousins!

An Honorable mention goes to Will and Lucian! I tried to think of ways where they could be related to each other, or to Bugsy or whoever, but I ended up falling flat. Still, shout out to them tho, if I ever get something for them, I'll let y'all know!

The new limited CS event has me thinking...if it’s all weak to one type, then realistically, players will be expected to have five damage dealers within a type. And as stated before, not every type has that. But also, some that do...aren’t strictly reasonable either. And this has me thinking...what type weakness are they likely to start with, and how might that play into the chosen extra unit?

GRASS Fairly reasonable. Among F2P/General Pool, they have Gardenia, Erika, Brendan, Mallow, Selene, and SS Erika, with Sycamore and Gloria from Lodge. This would be a really easy one to justify. That said...there has never been a Grass-type E4 member. Because the type is bad. So this would leave Champions with eclectic teams. Blue is out because Exeggutor was Lodge, so options could be Wallace and Ludicolo, Cynthia and Roserade, and Diantha with Gourgeist. Any of those three would admittedly be great to me.

FIRE Fire has Ethan, Flannery, Flint, Hilda, Serena, Blaine, and Silver as commonly available options, with Blarcanine as a free event that isn’t rerun regularly. This is...a lot more restrictive than Grass, if I’m being honest. Ethan isn’t great, Flannery’s sync is mildly okay, Flint’s bad, Hilda has trouble with DPS and not dying, and Blaine isn’t exactly setting records, to say nothing of Silver and Serena’s reliance on him as a partner. While Fire has a metric ton of limited options that are all game shattering, its more accessible options are...notably limited. This would be a good time to bring in Malva, though. That said...there’s basically no Champion that can fill this, and I cannot imagine them making a Flint alt on purpose.

WATER Siebold, Barry, Wake, Kris, SS Grimsley, May, Nessa, Wallace, SS Misty, Lodge Rosa, Lodge May, and Lodge Silver. We are literally drowning in Water-type offense. This doesn’t even cover Cyrus. This would be outrageously reasonable, and would instantly connect to Champion Wallace with literally anything. Though Cynthia also has Milotic, which is worth noting. Also Siebold exists, but doubtful.

ELECTRIC Surge, Hau, Sophocles, Elesa, Volkner, Clemont, and BP Sophocles. To get straight to the point, Electric-types kinda suck. Elesa’s expansion is good, and BP Sophocles can do okay, but the rest are hilariously poor damage dealers. Even expanding to premium, it’s like...okay, N is solid but super reliant on support without 5/5, Marnie’s good, and SST Red and Ash obliterate stages. But...yeah. It’s not the cleanest. And correct me if I’m wrong. But is there not a single Electric type in any champion battle? Or E4 that I can immediately think of. There’s no electric-type master in the E4. I am...actually not sure of anything now. This is so weird...

ICE Okay, no. I can’t even pretend. Ghetsis and Candice are good but have their own issues, and Hala at EX can clear a CS stage. But no. Absolutely not. Pryce and Lorelei are jokes, Brycen cannot do damage, and BP Candice is hilariously bad. Even expanding you’ve got like, what, Summer Steven who’s inconsistent, Winter Nessa whose sync is worse than Candice, Winter Leon who’s good, and SS N who has the two-turn move and is fairly risky. I dunno, man. I can’t see it. But on the flip side. Lorelei and Glacia potentially getting alts would be great.

BUG Lusamine, Viola, Bugsy, Noland, Burgh, Guzma. To be blunt. Not great. Guzma’s bad, Bugsy needs a lot of support, Noland is slow as hell, Viola needs a lot of support, Lusamine’s too frail, and Burgh is kinda awkward too. Even with premium, it’s like...hope you pulled SC Train Bros! I could see them doing a rerun with Bug just to drum up sales. That said, Aaron or Alder alts. I...don’t think DeNA has confidence in them.

POISON You cannot possibly think the type with only ten sync pairs is doable. You cannot possibly. Unless this mode is surprisingly easy, to the point the F2P units like base Janine and Lucy can serve as damage dealers, there aren’t even enough options. Though if an E4 member gets it, Koga alt.

ROCK Technically, there are enough Rock types. Brock, SS Brock, Olivia, Roark, Grant, Kukui, Gordie. But man, no. Brock, SS Brock, and Grant are terrible. Kukui’s not much of a damage dealer. Gordie’s good but takes a bit. Olivia’s only good at EX. Roark fucks, though. I just don’t see it. Though it could be Diantha and Aurorus, or an Olivia alt. I’m okay skipping this.

GROUND Worse than Poison. Hapu, Clay, Courtney, Bertha, and Naomi. Naomi’s limited time. Clay and Hapu are atrocious. Even with preomium you only add SS Giovanni, Cynthia, and Maxie. This does not feel viable. But man, I’d kill for a Bertha alt.

STEEL Solgaleo, Molayne, Wikstrom, Thorton, Jasmine if you’re being cheeky, and Alolan Grimsley. At least premium works, with Raihan and Gloria being pretty solid EX options, and Steven’s grid expansion happening. P!Marnie is also really good on her own. But the F2P angle will struggle like crazy. Under ordinary circumstances, I’d say Steven and Mega Aggron. But he’s getting two alts. And as funny as making it three and hitting seven before anyone else hits six would be. I doubt it. Could be Wikstrom but I’m not counting on it, especially after Shauna stole Booboo Keys.

FLYING Blue, Winona, Kahili, Nate, Darach, Lodge Serena. Not a ton of options. Premium adds Lysandre, Anni Steven, NY!Lance, Anni Skyla, and SS Ethan. So there are options. This would also be the best way to tie in a Lance alt, if they’re going to, since he’s actually a flying-type master. But I’d personally want Kahili. Though admittedly, I’m torn. I want her with Oricorio, who would go the Dawn route of being a different type, and that wouldn’t mesh here. Wait. Wait wait wait, Baile Oricorio could fit under Fire, hold up.

FIGHTING Wally, Bruno, Korrina, Brawly, Marshal, Bea. That’s not too bad. Premium opsn SC Guzma, SC Diantha, and C!Hop. I’d say it’s a solid maybe? Bruno or Marshal alts could definitely happen. I wouldn’t mind either, really. If Marshal, Mienshao maybe. If Bruno, Hitmonchan would be nice.

PSYCHIC Okay, you all know what’s coming, but please hold your criticisms to the end. I actually don’t think Psychic would be a nice one to do for F2P. Oak isn’t great, Caitlin has no grid expansion and is pretty bad, Calem’s bad, Tate’s pretty bad, Will’s not great, Bianca’s fairly poor as a sync nuke. Giovanni and Lucian, however, are fantastic. So that’s two actually good options surrounded by mediocrity. Much like Fire, only worse, Psychic type is mostly premium options. SS Lusamine, SS May, SS Steven, Lear. All the really good ones are premium. Which, I think, could be what they aim for. You want it to be possible for F2P to keep your general reputation of accessibility, but make it challenging so people get the message: you want as many of each given type as possible. Psychic would be a good one to go to, because I can vouch for Caitlin, and plenty of showcases have vouched for Will and Bianca. It’s doable. It’s just rough. And if they add a new sync pair as incentive, the options are few and far between. Steven’s accounted for, so it can’t be him and Claydol. Diantha already has her Gardevoir. Wallace and Cynthia don’t have Psychic-types. Which means it would have to be a specialist. Will, Lucian, and Caitlin. And ask yourselves: which of those three is most likely to be used to generate profit for a new mode? This is my only hope...

GHOST A few months ago, I feel like Ghost would’ve been impossible. But man, Shauntal grid? Agatha grid? Fantina expansion? Even Naomi’s pretty good. Morty and Allister aren’t too bad. Ghost would be entirely possible. You even have premium like Anni Lillie, Renegade Cynthia, NY!Dawn, H!Morty, and SS Korrina. Plus, if it is a Cynthia alt? Spiritomb feels like a popular demand, and we just got C!Marnie who dominates Dark type. It would track. But I also really want a Shauntal alt, and I’d love it if she got Cofagrigus.

DARK Given C!Marnie, I can’t imagine they try to drum up hype with a Dark type, but let’s play pretend. Karen, Nanu, Grimsley, Sidney, Masked Royal, BP Karen. Premium adds H!Hilbert, SS Cyrus, Summer N, and C!Marnie. The F2P isn’t even bad. Cynthia and Spiritomb noted again, but Sidney, Karen, and Grimsley alts would all be on the table. Well...maybe not Sidney. Karen stands some chance. Grimsley’s most likely but I’ll be mad if he hits 4 before Caitlin hits 3.

DRAGON “What if it’s Lance?” Yeah, I guess. Anyway. Iris, Clair, BP Zinnia, Lisia, Cyrus, Zinniquaza. This is actually not a great spread for F2P. C!Iris, Lance, SS Serena, Anni Raihan, SS Cynthia, and Lucas are pretty great though. It’s possible, and we get plenty of dragon options. Lance is the obvious one, though there’s Drake, and this would be a nice time to add Drasna to the general pool. Or Diantha and Goodra, I suppose. Oh. Or Leon, actually, now that I think about it. Dragapult. That one’s pretty obvious, and it’s been a long time since Leon. But they also just did a huge wave of Galar, so I’m not expecting it.

FAIRY Valerie, Mina, Sycamore, Lodge Lillie. We don’t even have five options. Premium also is a mixed back. P!Serena, Diantha, SS Wally, Bede, and NY!Lisia are good, but P!Dawn is...fairly lacking, and Summer Lyra’s just bad. This one could be rough. I also...can’t think of anyone who functions with Fairy? Cynthia and Togekiss? Give it Dynamax like the anime, I guess? I dunno.

Final Thoughts I think the most sense goes to something that’s completely possible for F2P, but poses enough of a challenge that premium options would be preferred, to generate hype around a new scoutable sync pair. Water and Grass actually feel over-prepared, it might be too easy to win the first round with one of those types. Fairy, Poison, Ice, and technically Ground don’t even have enough options, while things like Steel, Dark, Fighting, Rock, and Bug feel like they’re reliant too much on 5* options to get to just five options. Fire, Electric, Flying, Psychic, Ghost, and Dragon are all possibilities that have enough options to work with on an F2P budget without over-emphasis on 5*s. Though despite having few units, I’d argue Ghost is like stupid good now. Of them, obviously I’m hoping for Psychic. Because Caitlin alt. But those seem likely. So...

If Fire, hoping for Baile Oricorio Kahili.

If Electric, I literally cannot think of a reasonable possibility, surprise me.

If Flying, I’d hope for Kahili with something, but am willing to say give it to Lance if you want.

If Psychic, Caitlin and Gothitelle please for the love of god.

If Ghost, it’s likely Cynthia and Spiritomb, but Shauntal and Cofagrigus would be great.

If Dragon, fuck it give Leon Dragapult, he’s earned it.

Decided to do a reading roundup, inspired by @batmanisagatewaydrug ‘s own one here! Posted uhhhh like two and a half weeks after January but hey, it’s my blog and my roundup.

January Stats Books Read: 30-31, depending on how I rank one book Average Rating: 3.49 Top Genre: Mystery My storygraph if you wanna follow me and see my reviews (though I’ll link them for each book in the ratings) :)

This month I read a ton of books but none of them really hit for me - not to say these books were bad (well. Some were LMAO), just probably not the proper time for me to read them lmao. All the books will be listed under the cut (some with comments) but here were the ones that really stood out!

Standouts:

As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson: 4.75/5 This was the end of the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder trilogy and GOD what a great series! I’m not going to sit here and pretend this is high art but there’s this special something in this series that makes me love it SO much. Is it Ravi Singh? It might be Ravi Singh. It’s probably Ravi Singh.

The Wonder State by Sara Flannery Murphy: 4.5/5 I don’t wanna spoil this one because it’s an ARC but I was so pleasantly surrpised by this book. I just think it fucks.

The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera: 4.5/5 The first book made me sob like a baby and this one did make me cry I admit it. :’) While the first book is probably always going to have the biggest place in my heart, this was a fantastic read, and I LOVE that he went back to show us the very first Death Day and how it impacted the first person who was ever called for it. I definitely have more questions on the actual process so if he wants to pull back even further to the creation of the concept I’d gladly take it lmaooo

The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams: 4/5 So this is why I’m at 30-31 books - I read The Ultimate Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that has all five books in the same book; since I finished the first book in January I’ll go add it here and it was just *chef’s kiss*. Zany, funny, I finally get that damn “the answer to life is 42″ joke. For some reason I’d die for Arthur Dent. Etcetera.

All Other Books:

Non-Fiction: I didn’t have a number scale for two of them; I felt a little bit weird rating both of them, so I’ve just linked my reviews instead!

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur: Review

Spare by Prince Harry: 3.25/5 Sometimes he has points but good lord the privilege was ;aklfj;lafka;;flakj bro can we stop defending the monarchy lol

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou: 4/5 I don’t know why but I thouhgt these were fiction until I actually went to go check out the book lmaoo

Naturally Tan by Tan France: 3.75/5

If You Tell: a True Story of Murder, Family, Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood by Gregg Olsen: Review

Fiction:

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett: 3.25/5 I know, I know, I’m sorry. Just wasn’t really for me.

This Spell Can’t Last by Isabel Sterling: 3/5 It’s a short prequel book for a series I really had fun with called These Witches Won’t Burn! The prequel was fine. I wouldn’t suggest you pick it up without knowing the series but yeah

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley: 3/5 I’m kinda surprised I rated it that high in hindsight lmao

Gaslight by J.E. Rowney: 2.5/5

Paper Planes by Jennie Wood with Dozerdraws: 2.75/5 (the art was lovely though)

The Aosawa Murders by Riku Onda with Alison Watts (translator): 3.6-3.75/5

Burn the Negative by Josh Winning: 3.5/5

I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman: 3/5 (again, sorry lmao)

Not By Blood by Chris Narozny: 3/5

Miss Muriel and Other Stories by Ann Petry: 3.5/5 I think I need to stop reading short stories because they’re always at around a 3 and it’s just not always a fair rating. Some stories I absolutely LOVE. Others? Ehhhh not so much.

Why Are You Like This? by Meg Adams: 4/5

It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover: 3.75/5 tbh, I think the more I think about the book the lower I’m going to rate it, but for now I’ll keep this original rating

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion: 3.75/5

The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen: 4.75/5 Beautiful art as well <3

The Private Apartments by Idman Nur Omar: 3.5/5
