I'm glad the "Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize" meme is getting critiqued in its usage because... While the sentiment itself is absolutely true... I feel like sometimes, perhaps, it's not a work of fiction's fault that you're personally bad at picking up on satire

#im thinking about how i saw a person say futurama is bad because bad things still exist in the future #and its like. thats the point though? #the joke is literally the idea that if we never learn and grow from these problems as a society these are the hyperbolic extremes #that they would come to etc etc #do i think it was all well handled? probably not. it had a 14 year run im sure it fumbled lots of stuff and has shit that doesnt hold up #but i feel like dismissing it entirely based on just- #''but bad stuff happens. and i want the future to be better so this bums me out'' is just dumb LOL like thats literally the point #theyre taking the problems of today and making them into crazy hyperbolic extremes to mock them THATS WHAT SATIRE IS #there is a clarity of purpose youre just bad at picking up on it. NIXON WAS THE FUCKING PRESIDENT IN THAT SHOW FOR CHRIST SAKE #WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK ''AMERICA'S FAVORITE SUICIDE BOOTH SINCE ****2008****'' COULD MEAN? #idk. this site is bad media literacy r us why take it seriously. but i am. bc its frustrating #bc that quote on its own is sooooo good at explaining why some ''satire'' is bad and doesnt work #but ppl who dont know how to engage w media beyond a surface level have taken it and turned it into like #''this is bad bc i didnt get it'' ok. sounds like a you problem. #but posting this is scary bc im afraid itll be used for the other extreme .-.

HI YOU MIGHT'VE BEEN ASKED THIS BEFORE BUT,, what brushes do you use? Saw your art with SRS and I'm in LOVE and wanna do a style study + whatever brushes you use look really satisfying to use!! :0

Your art is!!! gorgeous!!!! I love!!!!!

first off ty... i honestly wasn't expecting that drawing to pop off like that HA as for the brushes!! these are all clip studio btw.

for the base colors i used the hard charcoal brush from this set

for clean up i use the first hee brush from here

most of the brushes i used are from this one! used the speckle brush to lay down colors and then blended it out and then just went ham with different layer types. and when in doubt use color jitter, its my best friend

#i download so many brushes so often its so bad lol #ALSO.. #style study?????? on me?????? #thats so fun to hear from another person. usually its the other way around HAHA #im glad people like that drawing though. theres 3 other quotes in the same vein that i wanted to try and do with the others #i'll see #TY THOUGH!! FR #also i realize some of the settings may be switched around for my brushes. feel free to ask for that if you want #my philosophy has always been fucking around and finding out though. so if you dont have the exact settings #know that i approve of your methods no matter what

Where did the quote in your blog header come from? It seems to apply pretty well to Roy!

Ohh, it's part of the chorus to Lemon Demon's Pumpkin Pie! Probably my favourite song of his, actually. 

And I know, right? Granted, certainly, I am a firm believer that anything can be made about Roy if you just rearrange it well enough. I mean, how else do you think I would end up with all of these seemingly unrelated AUs? It's all in the Roy connection! 💖 

But speaking of it fitting Roy...! 

#Shut the heck your up mouth Roy #DHMIS #DHMIS Roy #Roy Gribbleston #Don't Hug Me I'm Scared #Dont Hug Me Im Scared #Roy #The Arts Parable #Any opportunity to draw Roy is a good one gehehe #I've drawn Roy cosplaying Pumpkin Pie more often than I have the actual Pumpkin Pie - not that Pumpkin Pie isn't just a type of Roy XD #I have a version of this song with the last verse edited out because oh it makes me so SAD! #Unless of course you mean the other quote I have in my blog desc XD in which case it's from Gospel's Katatoniczna Gorycz #<- and also quite fitting for Roy lol but that one's about coping with hopelessness - the original is in polish though #And sorry it's taking so long to answer the asks haha but I'm working on it!! I promise!

[boygirlctommy]

ok i have like. the very rough outline for this animatic.

#my post #ripposting #really just need rhe quotes now bcus i know what parts of the song are which fights #oh my god. im gonna have to animate combat. #*frantically pulls up sad.ist* GIRL HELP HOW DO I DRAW FIGHTING #<- uses them as a ref for like every animatic i do lol #i just realized actually. this wasnt intentional but i totally am amking a sa.dist-style animatic rn #its even set to a 2w.ei song ToT #but anyways im sosososo excited for this :DDD the first 48 seconds are just them arriving at the BLOCK #BUT their pirate oath from what binds us is playing. ooo can i do effects on the audio? bcus i kinda want it to be abit echo-ey.... #but yeah and then chip as tay is all like 'we need to get these pirates inside!!' and the guard goes 'did we ever get a name for this crew? #and then theres like this moment of silence. and thats where chips gonna go 'the r.iptide pirates :)' and then BOOM LOUD MUSIC #thats where they fight shrek. i dont remember what that monster was i always called that fight the shrek encounter. then the hall w that #pirate dude!! then the tundra!! oh big j... then its MEAT ROOM TIME!!! and then DESERT ROOM!!!!! at 2:02 is when they start attacking each #other in the desert room :3 then its the center with drey!!! and then theres a quieter slow part. thats where nfw goes. #the song actually ends there but i looped part of it so it gets loud again :3 thats where the running away happens!! and then as it fades #out again thats where theyre safe on the ship and jay screams at her dad even though hes too far away to hear it and shes all like 'IM GONN #BE THE BEST GODDAMN PIRATE YOUVE EVER SEEN!!' and chip goes 'i dont doubt it sureshot :]' CRIESSS anyways then very quietly as the audio al #fades out gill goes 'im glad you got to shoot me' and jay goes 'me too lol' and that is where we end the animatic 👍 #its like 4 1/2 minutes long pray for me guys

Alex turner is the male taylor swift and even worst all he does is write songs about his exes and have whole albums and eras aesthetics influenced by each of them while dumping them on rotation after the album comes out

#i mean.... youre not WRONG . i don't disagree although i think there's so much more to his music than just love songs/ breakup songs . #especially in tbhc era. not sure if he retired completely from the idea of writing love songs maybe he's just more sneaky about it #(i have the wildest interpretations of some of the tbhc) but still i do believe there's more to his music #EVEN THOUGH i know he's lowkey a little bitch. wrote some petty and bitchy songs. #besides c.ornerstone there's snap o.ut of it MV that was so fucking petty if you think about it lol #dont really wanna comment on his personal life or whatever tiny bit we know of but retrospectively the math is mathing and im aware of #how it all looks like . huh . #putting him and TS in one sentence gives me a headache tho because twitter is literally blowing up rn #and all these kids talk about is streaming the new album because of her releasing an album on the same day like . seek help im begging . #don't quote on anything i said lol #answered

[doodlebloo]

do u know if the vidcon livestreams can be watched after they finish? sorry, didn’t know where else to ask

You're fine DW! You can find the stream from yesterday in this video, just skip to the 4:48:20 timestamp! The panel lasts for about an hour :) As far as I know the rest of the panels that are being streamed will also be saved on YouTube, so as long as you can find the timestamp it starts at it should be viewable!

#not all panels are being streamed though i dont think? but most of them are iirc #i think the Ranboo and Hank Green one or w/e may not be being streamed but dont quote me on that I dont have a source lol #asks #anon

[revolutionarysuicide]

see the reason why i can’t share the Ancient Laura Lore on here isn’t even just that it’s embarrassing, because honestly some of the anecdotes i could tell from back then are funny and/or something to be proud of. it’s the fact that if you were on Certain Circles On Twitter there’s a high probability that you knew of me by a different name and i simply do not want to be affiliated with that child

#i was kind of popular on [redacted] twitter #and got famouser for getting quote tweeted by [redacted] who called me [redacted] and later blocked me for saying [redacted] was [redacted] #the reason i dont want to be associated with that kid is not bc i was ~Problematic~ or w/e it's just cause i was a very miserable child at #the time #honestly if you stalked me enough through the years you could probably connect my old twitter account and this blog #there must be like. 3 degrees of separation? if you religiously read all my tweets and tumblr posts #i really hope none of you lot are from that era though lol

weee

#lotr good #lol i know i already made a post about it earlier this week but i finished watching the extended movies<\3 #reading the appendices is slightly on halt since its no less work than studying but #i think readinf the books was soooo much fun like i already really miss being able to pick it up every day for month #the fact that you spend so much more time reading than watching a movie sort of makes the connection a bit stronger in a way #like im not sure how many hours i spent reading all 3 books over four weeks but it must be like 40 at least #being able to see it all in movie form is soo lovely cause 1) theyre just such fun movies and 2) you dont have to work your brain to #visualize things as much #although i did end up getting quite used to the writing style and endless describing of landscapes #so i didnt have to focus super hard anymore after a while #but yeah still its nice to just be able to sit back and let it sorta come at you rather than actively read it all #though a difference is that in the book if you find a scene or quote that hits hard you can just sort of read it over and over while still #staying in the zone or the vibe of the scene #whereas in a movie you can rewind of course but it breaks it up a bit xD #sometimes while reading i would loop a quote 4 or 5 times in my head before moving on #idk wtf i am talking about its almost 4am but i am so surprised i ended up liking lotr so much #like i wanted to watch it cause i was curious and general cultural education and stuff but especially after reading of course #ive not really had a new interest where i can like do endless research and learn soo many things about it for quite a while #the experience of finding something new and like slowly familiarizing yourself with it more and more is so much fun #also sjfjdj at me having to read and watch the grey havens scene twice within a week #first the book last monday and now the movie #me sobbing both times😭 #its just really good #and i reiterate because it must be said #nobody ever did and nobody ever will do it like samwise gamgee #shoutout to taking the hobbits to ise gard #shoutout to the shire theme constantly transitioning into the gridania theme in my head #and good night (collapses) #long post #< in case of accidental tag opening sjfjdj

hmm

#minddump lol #ever since i like sat down and thought about my gender feelings I feel like ive gone down like a rabbit hole of like #'I wanna be a girl because I feel like its the only way i have worth' -> #'It wouldnt be bad sometimes i like to be feminine so lets try she/he!' -> #'a big feeling of why I feel like i could be a girl is that maybe im trying to make up for the fact that a lot of people in my life #especially my mother made me feel like being a boy was always a travesty #that there was vile in my blood that she could never relate to me and reminded me at any chance that I raised my voice that I was a boy and #men are disgusting beings that dont deserve respect because my abusive father was a boy and that is quote unquote healthy way to treat #a child trying to find self respect within themselves' -> #'it would be sweet to have a fat rack though :/'

smth funny is how people are like 'ah i want p 4 dugeons to be like p 5 palaces' or 'ah can the answer be more palacey' when palaces were the #1 reason p 5 is so low on my favorite persona game list lmfao

if youre just talking about making things more personalized then yeah i agree, but the structure was the most annoying thing on this earth ngl

#im sorry i just found them irritating #i think the puzzles quote unquote were very dumb and just served to make me take 2 mins away from doing shit. annoying. #p 5 is still the one game i have only two playthrus of. i mean palaces aren the only reason but theyre at the top lol #obv my own opinion but goooood. i guess i'll live with it. i dont wanna though

#this season punched me in the gut multiple times in suchhh a good way #ive never felt this connected to a queer show or movie #fun fact dream helped me put into words how i feel abt my sexuality lol ofc #his impact is like the equivalent of teaching me math ik #he just helped me realize like shit ur right i dont have to label myself if i rlly dont have a clue #ive always felt like i experience attraction quote differently so identity has been confusing my whole life #and i didnt grow up in the most accepting open environment.. sexuality is not something i felt like i could think abt #i have a lot of funny little queer me stories that r basically all me expressing gay secretly and someone barging into whatever i was doing #and queerness not a concept in little mes mind so ppl just saw what i was doing and were like why she doing that lmao #but so yeah mr farouk i resonated with bc queerness is just not a part of myself i accepted until very recently #tao’s mom made me wanna cry literally give me a kind asian parent and i will cry #so tired sm more i could talk abt though what a beautiful beautiful show and cast

[rayroseu]

I drew this for @chernabogs story Elegy !!! The way they wrote this scene was just so tender and soft, I HAD TO DRAW IT ‼️‼️😭😭🙏🏻💖💖✨✨ it was such a perfect treat considering how the previous chapters was "coarse" with how the story handled Malleus poor coping skills with loss, I love reading and rereading the chapters lol

I wishhh i was eloquent enough to verbalize how much I loved reading it 😩😩😩 The repeated questions of am i ill or that ever repeating quote that love is for the lonely then it gradually changed to its meant to be or or the way in every chapter there is always an element of Malleus wanting to get to know Yuu WAGHHHDJDBIEB JUST THE YEARNING OF IT ALL!!!!

ALSO ALSO ONE THING I NOTICED.... all the chapter names relates to a lament for the dead, and i just think thats such a devastatingly beautiful detail to add considering that even until the ending Malleus will still lose Yuu from death and he'll be alone just like how he always fears JUTSGUEGKFGDKBCHFKN i know it ended on a happy note but the chapter titles makes me think of that quote where "there WAS love but it didnt change anything" or smth😭😭😭

also love how "Malleus in a crisis" was written as well,,, malleus was so on character omfggg I swear Ames' characterization of this guy makes me feel like Yana Toboso is ghostwriting with them/lh ☠️☠️ LIKE HELLOOO the way the story sways erratically between Malleus accepting Yuu made an impact of his life and Malleus wanting to go back to being alone where he didnt know anything at all and wasn't quite in distress about having relationships, thats soooooo GOOD 😭😭💐💖💖💖 granted i cried from it though aihskwbks

Dont even get me started on the buildup????!!! and conflict that was all resolved in the final chapter was AUGHHH THATS BEAUTIFUL IM SO GLAD I CAN READ 😭😭✨✨✨ And and the realization that Malleus fears is not death but them?? Beautiful!!!!! 😭🙏🏻✨✨💖💖 Cuz really its true throughout the whole story he was more stressed that he's so attached now XD AND AND I LOVE HOW ALL THE MESSAGES(?) FROM PREVIOUS CHAPTERS MAKES A CALLBACK TO THE FINAL CLIMAX LIKEEE "He can be bold. He can be brave. He can say this.“I was not ill that night, nor are you at fault for that. I was… I am afraid." PEAK LITERATURE!!!!!!! I LOVE FORESHADOWS AND REPEATING THEMES, MAKES ME GO YELL ABOUT IT ALL 😭😭😭💖💖💖💚💚 I love the kobold on the last part as well lol he is a promoted therapist now 😭✨✨✨

also going back to the way the chapter titles are meant to be lamenting for the dead, "A new memory for each day he outlives you. He can capture those memories, store them in a glass ball so that he may watch them whenever he pleases. You will never truly be gone if you can both make it work." HELPPP THE RESOLUTION,..... AUUGHH IT MAKES ME CRY AIHWLDHOSHSK 😭😭😭💖💚💚

anyways my favorite part always ehehe grim fishing with lilia✨✨✨🥺🥺 and malleus having the naive expectation that first kiss is magical and wanting to test it out again skgixgsk😂

I love the part where Meleanor would raise an objection the moment its a human hes been contemplating about, this story just made me think.... LMAO MALLEUS IF MELEANOR SAW YOU LIKE THIS,,,, XD i feel like she'll tell you that if you fear living alone, just go out first and damned the other person about it instead JSKHDKDHHK i think it was really tragic how Lilia seemed to be set on dying for Meleanor only for the tables to turn ☠️

yes i did reference that acheswan dance from honkai star rail on lilinor part lol

(this was a v long a/n lmao i promise they wont all b like this).

You watched his name on your phone screen, displayed in your contacts in a row amongst many other w-names. Wiliam, Wade, Walter- Who the fuck was Wylan? You tried to pay attention to any other name but his.

Wonwoo.

And then you thought, fuck it. It wasn’t like things had ended on bad terms. They had ended on we-are-busy-and-maybe-we-should-try-something-new terms. It was easy. An honest talk on the couch during a chilly Friday afternoon, and you had decided it was the best option. For the both of you.

And it was only after the fourth weekend out with your friends after the breakup, you realized what had happened.  

You missed him. You missed him so bad, you wished you could abandon the strong drinks and sweaty air of the bar that reminded you so much of your very first night with him. But you didn’t. You didn’t say a word as you danced under flashes of pink and red with strangers. Nobody knew.

Nobody knew how much you missed him. Not until now.

“Hello?” 

He sounded confused, maybe even a little startled when he answered your call. Maybe you should have told your friends so they could have talked you out of this afterall.

“Hey Wonwoo.”

“Hey…”

You realized you hadn’t actually planned what you were going to do from here. 

“Do you- Like, wanna come over?”

It went silent on the other end again, and the question echoed in your head, suddenly sounding pretty wrong.

“I mean- Not like that, just like if you wanna talk, you know? Catch up and stuff, I just wanna make sure you’re okay and-“

“Y/n, let me stop you right there.”

Well. That didn’t seem too good.

“I, uh- Okay, fuck, this is really embarrasing, but I’m- I’m already here.”

“…What the fuck?”

“Yeah, and I was gonna do this whole- I don’t know this whole thing, and now you’ve ruined it, actually. So thank you.”

The familiar sarcastic tone of his voice made you giggle as you got up from the couch and sauntered towards the door.

“Really? What kinda thing?”

You were teasing him now, but hell, you had already decided to call your ex on a lonely late night. Might as well go all out.

“This whole…Romantic thing, I know it’s stupid, I’m sorry, but I just-“

Before he could continue, you pushed the door open, and there he was. Not a particularly spectacular sight, to the average person. Dressed in sweats with his glasses (your favorite pair. The slutty ones), sliding down his nose a little, exposing the fact that he probably ran all the way up the stairs. 

And still he was beautiful. The most beautiful you’d ever seen him.

“…So do we talk first, or do you wanna-?”, he asked. 

“I was thinking fuck first, talk second?”

“I wanna kiss you first though.”

“Kissing is an integral part of sex.”

“I know, but I wanna kiss you now.”

“Was that your romantic thing? Burst into my apartment and kiss me?”

He shrugged.

“I figured you’d like it.”

You took a step closer to him.

“You were right.”

At some point during the kiss you both made it past your doorstep, lips pressed together tightly and limbs intertwined in all sorts of impossible ways. 

Once again you were brought back to your first night together. How you practically jumped into his car, and he pressed the gas as hard as he could, and the lights and neon signs were so pretty it felt like they were there just for you. How you stumbled through the hotel room door all smitten and giggling, the sounds of the busy city life behind the window not even coming close to drowning out the sound of your pounding hearts. It was written in the sky that night, the longing, the want, the need you felt for each other. 

You were brought back to the present when the air got punched out of your lungs, as your back hit the mattress of your bed. Wonwoo crawled on top of you, his eyes meeting yours. 

You kissed again. Your limbs intertwined again, and clothes flew all over your room as you scrambled to get back to each other after all this time. you knew then and there that your very first night together was going to be incomparable to this feeling. This feeling, in this moment. 

His lips kissed their way down your body, not leaving a single spot missed until he met your clit, his nose brushing against it ever so lightly. 

“Don’t tease, Won- Ah.”

He couldn’t dream of teasing. Not now, when you were right here, and even though he didn’t get to tell you the words he had memorized, he couldn’t really care. Not when all he could think of at this moment, with his lips wrapped around your clit and tongue prodding at your hole, was you.

“God, so fucking good, missed this fucking pussy”, he mumbled into your dripping core as you gripped his hair tighter and gave in to the inevitable urge to grind against his tongue. 

“I know you’re close baby, come on. Cum for me darling.”

With one last flick of his skilled tongue you were falling over the edge, a rush running through your body that couldn’t compete with any other feeling.

Still in a daze, his chin coated in your wetness, Wonwoo made his way back up your body until his lips were on your neck and his hard cock was grinding against you. 

“Need you Won, need you so bad, please.”

Your voice was barely a whisper, as you ran your nails down his toned back and nipped at his earlobe in a desperate attempt to get him to do something. Anything. Everything.

“I know, I know. Need you too baby, you have no idea.”

He was almost panting, and soon enough his struggling breaths became a long content sigh as your sweet pleas and whines had him pushing into you, your familiar warmth sucking him in.

His thrusts were sharp and deep and fucking perfect. You didn’t want it fast, didn’t want it hard or rough, you wanted it real, wanted it to be just him and you and nothing else.

“Do you know-“

Now he was truly out of breath, heavy sighs and grunts tumbling from his swollen lips right next to your ear as you shut your eyes in pleasure.

“-How much i missed you? Missed you so fucking much, I should have never, fuck, never let anything get in the way.”

God, how nice it felt to know he had missed you. And how nice it felt for someone to finally know how much you had missed him. 

Between a hundred more I missed you-es, you dragged each other through the fall, him after you (ever the gentleman), and between many quick kisses and a few drowsy ones you fell asleep in his arms. 

Just like the very first night.

Hiii I love ur art sm <33I have a quick question tho

i know Evelyn isn’t a fan of all the strict puritan rules but what would she think of courtship?? I read somewhere ages ago that in the 17th century men use to gift thimbles to the women they liked and I thought it would be really funny if Caleb kept trying to woo her with this tiny metal thing 😭😭

*OPENS MOUTH BECAUSE YOU AWOKE THE HISTORY DRAGON*

Pretty sure thimbles were given as part of the bride's-chest when she got married. Tradition says the man cut off the top of it to make a ring, symbolising that she no longer had to be “a maiden”. That is, have to do typical maiden work like sewing. Which is silly, a wife still did the sewing.

In the 17th century, though, thimbles were an everyday object. You could have a box full of them the same way you'd have a box of old keys, buttons and clippers somewhere.

Both men and women wore them, and they weren't only used for sewing. They were also worn out in the fields when working with the weat/grains or making baskets.

They were also used in superstitions, such as: You could do a lot with them. Most commonly, you would write a message, wish or whatever, on a note, tuck it into the thimble, and bury it in the fields or some place of significance. It was believed this would... help?

Probably because thimbles are used in sewing, and sewing was associated with witches because of the spindles (that, if you look it up, look like wands).

Thimbles were also used to deliver secret messages and codes. Both by filling them with notes, or have the top engraved with a message.

Anyway, wedding rings weren't really a thing (I think? dont quote me on that). But there were wedding traditions, like giving thimbles.

But giving a thimble to a girl you liked would be, pretty much, a jest in "hey wanna elope? lol" Which would be the equalising of some dude in your class snickering as he went up to you and gave you a bit of gum in exchange for a kiss. It would only hold proper romantic meaning if the pair were already engaged or had just married.

Now, if Caleb wanted to woe her or court her, he would have to do it within his means. He's poor (at least in my version), but at the time, a man had to show he could provide for her in marriage, so he'd have to think of gifts that could show an honest promise.

But since Evelyn doesn't care about that sort of thing, I think he'd eventually figure out that all she actually wants is his company, attention, and love. Him putting effort into a gift, like making her something out of wood, or taking the time to pick flowers, would woe her just fine.

:)

[weirdmageddon]

Would you recommend I play explorers of sky, any tips on how best to enjoy it?

i recommend everyone plays it lol

gameplay tips, some known and some more obscure

avoid spoilers lol

store any extra reviver seeds and petrify orbs you find. you will probably need it

if you find yourself in a bind, USE ITEMS. even a sleep seed can go a long way when you toss it at an enemy

the move dig is insane against the main campaign boss

stack missions if you can! if you have more than one mission from the bulletin that takes place in the same dungeon you should do all of them at once

base stats in pokemon mainline series means nothing here. you can have a butterfree with max stats in everything (255). you can boost pokemon stats permanently with medicinal items (protein, iron, etc) and drinks from spinda’s cafe. this lack of base stat disparity is why people can clear zero isle with smoochum. also there is no base speed stat unique to each pokemon, because it’s a dungeon crawler all pokemon have equal speed unless it’s modified with movement boosting. some pokemon may have a +1 boosted movement speed by default, such as deoxys-s, shaymin-s, and dialga with time tripper IQ skill unlocked. and kecleon when you steal from a shop for some ungodly reason. some abilities may increase movement speed in different conditions like chlorophyll in sunny weather

odd floors will generate male pokemon and even floors will generate female pokemon. this might not seem significant but it can be helpful for some gender-based evolutions like getting a female snorunt or male kirlia. at 0 stage stat changes, male and genderless pokemon have a 1.5x bonus applied to a move’s base critical hit rate while at the same time decreasing their evasion rate from foe hits by about 1.03 (268/256). female pokemon have higher move accuracy by about 1.03 (268/256) and neutral evasion (256/256), but this evasion is better in comparison to male or genderless pokemon. i believe genderless pokemon can appear on either floor dont quote me on that but it will follow the male bonus regardless of it was found on an odd or even floor

turns are everything in this game. smokescreen isn’t really a good move in mainline games but it’s fuckin nuts here because it basically renders opponents unable to hit you for a few turns

i really need to link moves more but thats why theyre awesome. there are so many big brained combinations. usually a status move and then an attack but it only takes up one turn

if you eat gummis normally you get an IQ increase and Maybe stat increase, but you will always get stat increases when you make gummis into drinks at spindas cafe so you get more out of them. you can save scum at the save well for “good feeling drink” bonuses if you want. like maybe every 3rd gummi if you dont get a feel good bonus you reset, and every time you do get one you save

gummi effectiveness chart

why eat gummis? IQ skills are important and helpful in different ways. my favorites are map surveyor, stair sensor, acute sniffer, all-terrain hiker, natural gifter, deep breather, and multitalent

different pokemon families fall into different IQ groups (A-J). a group is essentially a different “kit” of IQ skills. IQ groups basically tell what kind of role they have on your team

heres the list of IQ skills in EoS. off to the side under the “group” column you can click on each IQ group for their kit and the pokemon in that group. list of pokemon in each IQ group (ctrl + F searchable)

x-ray specs are broken when you combine them with map surveyor and stair sensor IQ skills. you can also tell how many items on the floor are hidden with acute sniffer by subtracting the number visible on the map with x-ray specs from the number given by acute sniffer. they need to be worn by the team leader though.

you can collect items in walls with a one-room orb, mobile scarf (watch out for belly drain), palkia’s absolute mover, or being ghost type

speaking of the team leader there are many things that are only effective when done by the team leader, such as recruitment, so watch out for that. also you need to be on an adjacent tile to a pokemon to recruit it. if you defeat them ranged it wont work

natural gifter is busted with natural items like seeds and berries (especially with items like golden seed or sitrus berry) because the team leader also gets the boost. but if you want to spread the effect of artificial items like vitamins and gummis to your whole team, you want a team leader with the IQ skill pierce hurler equipped with lockon specs. pierce hurler is essentially a built-in pierce band which allows thrown items to penetrate through whatever is in tile line of sight before going out of bounds. lockon specs boosts the accuracy of the item coming into contact with the pokemon, so it’s better than just the pierce band because you can ensure that none of the beneficial items “miss” your teammates. go into a dungeon hallway with your team in a single file line, make sure the IQ skill pierce hurler is turned on, have your lockon specs equipped to the leader, face your team and throw vitamins or gummis. this is excellent for vitamins but i prefer doing spinda’s cafe for gummis in the long run one at a time since you get a guaranteed increase in at least one stat every time and sometimes rich bonuses like HP increase as well if youre lucky

monster houses are fuckin scary at first but easier as time goes on. when you first start seeing them you should use petrify orbs. eventually you will start seeing some room clearing moves such as blizzard, discharge, earth power. if you can get that on your side you’ll have an advantage. you should also account for movement speed. you’ll be able to attack multiple times in a row if your movement speed is boosted, whether its from a quick seed or agility. probably the best room clearing move is silver wind because it hits multiple enemies and each hit has a chance of boosting all your stats including speed. it has a low hit-rate though to balance it, but unless youre extremely unlucky youre probably going to get multiple hits across the monster house

USE TEAM TACTICS. it gives you a bit of control over how your partner pokemon move. a cleared monster house is a great example because they are usually filled with traps. maybe your team leader has trap seer IQ skill (Able to step on traps without setting off) but not your teammates. change the team’s tactics to “wait there” in the hallway outside of the monster house, go in and collect the loot, go back to the hallway and turn it back to “let’s go together”. no harm done to teammates or even yourself if youre careful. (or your items: there are sticky traps which make your items unuseable, explosion traps which damage you, your teammates, and destroy all floor items and walls around, pokemon traps which turn floor items into pokemon, sludge traps which turn edible inventory items into grimy food. so it’s always good to avoid these scenarios when you can.) another example is if your teammate gets tile warped to a different part of the floor. dont let them move unless you know they can handle themself. change their tactic to “wait there” and go find them while making sure they dont die with oran berries.

you can also control your teammate’s moves by switching them off in the menu. this comes in handy when they start using status moves for no reason. the check mark next to the name of the move means it’s switched on and the teammate will pull from whatever moves you have checked. it doesnt mean anything on the leader pokemon though

i find it more convenient to use less strong moves such as confusion instead of psychic because they tend to have higher hit rates and more PP. the reason why is that the item ginseng can permanently boost their power, but ginseng is hard to come across so i just generate wonder mail s codes for them like a chump (shoutout to the og apointlessplace.net…i remember thinking “well its not very pointless is it” and that same thought still echoes in my head). but this is optional you dont have to cheat.

i go with celebi as my leader most of the time, with ginseng’d weaker moves. i originally shaped celebi in an attempt to recruit kecleon (which i still havent had success with) since you need the fast friend IQ skill in addition to the golden mask and be at lv 100 to even get kecleon’s chances ABOVE 0% recruitment. but even without all the kecleon recruitment stuff having deep breather IQ skill + chrono veil item in bag i virtually never have to use max elixrs for myself. by making celebi prepared for kecleon i incidentally made celebi prepared for anything lol

uhh thats all i can think of also gamefaqs has great in-depth guides
