#Is his name hatch?

[cheese-water]

The best option was to kill Ranboo. Everyone begging for him to “live” assumes that choice would be the merciful option is naïve for thinking Hatch would simply set him free. No he said verbatim that Ranboo would continue to be our plaything until they became “unusable.” That isn’t being alive, that’s torture, especially for someone who was begging to be killed in the end.

People pushing for a 50/50 split are also naïve in the way Showfall Media operates. While we never know what would happen if the vote split, it wouldn’t of mattered anyway. Hell, it doesn’t matter that we choose to kill. What has been the constant sentiment throughout this series?

OUR CHOICES DO NOT MATTER

Ranboo was dead man walking before the show even began. Do you really think Hatch really is gonna let Ranboo die on his own accord just because twitch chat felt bad for him? NO! He is probably being reprogrammed as we speak, up and ready for their next show. None of this matters. All of this was for data on the newly implemented live audience Hatch installed to see how we would react to certain things.

How could Ranboo’s death be our fault, when our actions and emotions were also being used by Showfall Media?

Who says we weren’t just as trapped as Ranboo, only we get the privilege of remembering his death.

i found one of my old middle school sketch books while cleaning up today and saw there was A Good Deal of ghost trick art in it, so i decided to spend some time paying tribute to the ghost detective that fundamentally changed my brain chemistry in 2011 w

old ghost trick art under the cut—minor spoilers in the dialogue whoops👇

#miodoodledavinci #ghost trick #for having not drawn traditionally since high school i think this turned out pretty neat w #i missed drawing this guy and it feels good to finally have his proportions Mostly right w #i suppose this would be more impressive if i’d gone through with full hatch shading #but i have better things to do than regret my life choices SFKSHKSGJDG #OH i should probably also tag this with #sissel #sissel ghost trick #thats his full name #anyway if you haven’t played ghost trick and you’re not sensitive to flashing #🫵👁👁 this is your sign

Started a new DND campaign recently and I'm playing an old gilf kith'rak called Tuj who is one of Voss' rebel friends.

He's made a friend in the shape of a young githzerai monk named Kir'y, played by the lovely @unaarista, who he's quickly gotten very attached to 🥹💜

My tav, tyrn romances wyll and all I could imagine after we rescue the githyanki egg was when the boy grows older how much of a trouble maker he would be 😭 And tyrn encourages him more which doesn’t help at all, poor wyll

The odd man who smells of rotten bodies and fresh leaves calls him "little woodling".

He seems familiar and excited to see him every time they stumble across each other in the vast forest. Yet it makes Woodkid all the more apprehensive; why does he seem to know more about him than himself?

i like to think the reason volo is so surprised that togepi likes him is that he actually hated togepi at first.

now, i'm assuming it's the same togepi as in PLA and dimensional shenanigans mean that he was pulled in with the wrong version of her.

so, allow me to set the scene, under the cut:

this story takes place almost six years before our protagonist (who is akari, in my heart) arrives in hisui. volo, seemingly a young man, arrives at cogita's place, due to a letter she sent to him.

she reveals to him that the pokemon nearby have been spooked badly by something, or someone. he agrees to take a look, if she'll share a particular book with him.

so, volo sets off and finds an injured hisuian decidueye, who attacks him with impunity. during this fight, he notices and correctly deduces that:

a) this decidueye was injured by someone, and

b) he has something to protect, likely a child

because of the book that's promised to him, and because volo sees value in having such a strong pokemon aid him, volo begins his attempts to "befriend" the decidueye.

the next day, while he's still injured (for which cogita displays motherly concern, which volo dismisses due to his resentment of her), he returns to heal the decidueye—and leaves some berries that not only help heal injuries, but are also good for young pokemon to eat.

this goes on for roughly a month before decidueye decides he can trust volo with the existence of his child—togepi, then a helpless egg. and volo, while he refuses to analyze it, actually enjoys spending time with decidueye. it's the first time he's done so in years, since the passing of the two pokemon who had followed him through his childhood (and died for it).

but good things aren't meant to last. though decidueye heals up nicely, he's still rather weak because of his injuries, which were long left untreated. he lasts for another three months before he entrusts togepi, still an egg, to volo, expending the last of his energy to go find an heirloom he and his deceased mate wanted to leave for their child.

and volo hates togepi for it.

every time he looks at the egg, he considerd smashing it. "if it wasn't for you, decidueye would still be alive." he can't fathom decidueye's actions, nor can he accept it as "selflessness (on decidueye's part)" instead of "selfishness (on togepi's part)".

mind you, togepi is an egg. she can't do shit.

but he always stops himself before he does anything he'll regret, eventually convincing himself that raising a pokemon from the beginning ensures loyalty—at least until togepi finds a better master, or learns that volo could do nothing for her father.

but volo, despite how twisted he is, ends up charmed by how togepi follows him around. even if he's rude and cold at times, though he does the bare minimum, she still looks at him as if he's hung the sun, the stars, the moon—even the clouds in the sky. and volo is weak to that genuineness, despite thinking that togepi has every reason to hate him, even though he internally treats it with revulsion.

[now, for an intermission, things volo has definitely thought about togepi:

(after she presents him with a daisy because she thinks it'll look good against his hair) "i wonder if there's anything in that empty head of yours. silly girl, you should be worrying about yourself."

(when togepi tries to change his towel when he gets a fever) "i know that it's only a matter of time. i know that. but if i close my eyes, i can return to the past and take you with me. so, just for today...i..."

(after someone says that it's amazing how well-behaved togepi is) "that's like remarking on a daughter obedient to her father. in exchange for gems and other finery, she plays a quiet, docile fool, until she has no need of him. that's why...i need to find the rest of those plates soon. so that...we can remain together i will never be betrayed."]

and togepi, despite being young, can understand volo is hurting, but is ultimately a good person. volo is not only the closest thing she has to a dad, but she's also the only one who can worm into his heart now, or so cogita says. so she makes it her life's goal to make volo happy, because she hates it when he's unhappy, even if it means making very questionable decisions and hurting someone else she loves.

[now, another intermission—things togepi has definitely thought about volo:

(after he smiles sadly) "ah...don't smile like that." (smushes his cheeks, causing him to snort and laugh) "please let him always be happy. please let me make him happy.”

(after witnessing a father-daughter pokemon duo in the wild) "a father? the way you're looking at them...it seems like you also don't know what a father is." (after being told what a father is) "ah, that's not true. it seems we're not the same. i have a father...and i'm not old enough to be yours..."

(after being told what volo wants to achieve) "if the world is remade...then will you and i ever meet?" (cuddles in beside volo) "but you said, 'we'll do it together.' so...whatever you need me to do...i'll do it."]

after all, it only makes sense that volo's pokemon are equally crazy, and possibly very devoted to him. that craziness is why n lies to volo—it's not that togepi tells n their plans, it's that she's frighteningly devoted to him, almost in the same way some members of team plasma acted.

[by the way, cogita also gifts him some letters from his deceased mother (who was her niece) that she found while cleaning. that's actually the reason she calls him, because it's his mother's birthday. they end up celebrating it for the first time in a looong time, and cogita thinks she might've raised him right (nope)]

#pokemon volo #pla #pokemon legends arceus #trainer volo #togepi is just the FL in a childcare manhwa with the dad who supposedly hates her but actually doesn't #and she takes the crumbs he gives her and runs #is it vaguely a toxic familial relationship? yes #also i hc that volo already has his team #he just has no reason to train them up until akari falls from the sky since no one seems inclined to figure out what's going on #so the toxicity seeps through to everyone else #especially because volo either hatches these guys or rescues them #in particular i like to think lucario was rescued as a riolu #while lucario could sense his ulterior motives it could also tell that volo was genuinely angry on his behalf #garchomp just started stalking him one day and then never left his party #it isn't until post-game that he takes cogita and akari's lead and gives them names

How did Gum choose their name?

The real answer is that Gum is named after one of my neopets, GumRancher.

But the in-universe thing is like. You know in movies where a character panics and gives a very obviously fake name and the others just accept it? Before Gum was kidnapped on the nautaloid he was collecting ingredients to make some alchemy items back at the crèche, some of which were salves, anti-toxins, and gums.

Lae'zel asks his name and he panics, not wanting to tie back to his crèche and also wanting to turn a new leaf for himself. Stutters out "Gum" as it was one of the things he was working on prior to being kidnapped, and just sags in relief when she doesn't push or question it... but that also means it's now his name 😭

#I think gum is okay with it being his new name #better than his Githyanki hatching name he feels no connection towards #she knows it's not his hatching name but doesn't push it bc it's not gonna benefit her and it's not really her business #gumposting

Last year, the Republican Party of Texas added language to its platform calling for an end to no-fault divorce: “We urge the Legislature to rescind unilateral no-fault divorce laws, to support covenant marriage, and to pass legislation extending the period of time in which a divorce may occur to six months after the date of filing for divorce.”

It’s not just Texas: A similar proposal is presently being workshopped by the Republican Party of Louisiana. The Nebraska GOP has affirmed its belief that no-fault divorce should only be accessible to couples without children. At the Republican National Convention in 2016 — the last time the party platform was overhauled — delegates considered adding language declaring, “Children are made to be loved by both natural parents united in marriage. Legal structures such as No Fault Divorce, which divides families and empowers the state, should be replaced by a Fault-based Divorce.” (It’s unclear whether the party’s twice-divorced nominee for president weighed in on the debate at that time.)

#Oh what a fucking surprise #this really telegraphs what the Right thinks about marriage #not that it's a contract between to equal partners #but it's a covenant built on the altar of Masculinity and ''the Family'' #the smallest social unit in which a man can exert Control #his own personal fiefdom #it doesn't matter that No Fault divorce has *Demonstrably* saved lives #what matters is that - as explained by the article - 2/3rds of No-Fault divorces are initiated by women #it's an escape hatch #and Conservatives - in the name of *Their* ideology #want to nail shut #not for the safety of women #not even for the well-being of children #who have to live in a household where one of their parents is miserable and effectively coerced by the state to remain there #it's about the Ego of Men #and it's about power #the well being of everyone else involved is secondary #Divorce #No Fault Divorce #Patriarchy #Sexism #Christo Fascism #Christian Fundamentalism #Republicans

Got bored. Didn't know what to draw.

Drew my Togepi from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

His name is Toast and he is babey.

Also, a little fun fact: Toast is named after a Togepi I plan on featuring in my No Matter the Cost AU.

Reference pic under the cut (sorry for bad quality):
