NAME: Psyseon or Lavender
PRONOUNS : She/Her, they/them
PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : Discord
NAME OF MUSE(s) :
Valerie (Pokemon Rangers OC)
Kapi (Mew)
Sylvia (Xerneas)
Charis (Pokemon Joy OC)
Alric (Pokemon OC)
Blake (Pokemon Gym Leader OC)
N
BEST EXPERIENCE : Valerie capturing Pheromosa, Alric spending time with Blue at the goldenrod grand gala, Valerie accidentally getting engaged and having to tell Blue. And those are just my current muses here on tumblr. C:
RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : Rudeness, lack of communication, forcing a ship, forcing your opinions on others Oh and vague posting. Vague posting is a huge deal to me and I will not tolerate it one iota.
MUSE PREFERENCES: Uhhh. I guess other Pokemon-verse muses? As long as we're friends and communicative, I'm cool with it.
PLOTS OR MEMES : I like both, but I prefer plots.
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : I lean more towards shorter replies, but I try to make sure that what I reply with does have something that you can reply to. Something that you can add on to. That's the whole point of RPing, writing a story together.
BEST TIME TO WRITE :There isn't? Really? Like I'll try to get some stuff in on Sunday mornings or on Saturdays, but that's not a given considering my schedule and my home life.
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : In little different ways.
Stolen from @galvanic-duelist you can steal from me

(Warning: Graphic and really, really edgy)
Sylvia *was* owned by a trainer who was apart of Team Rocket (now note that in the world and or reality she came from its some type of weird fusion between Kanto and Kalos, called *"Kaltos"*, like that alternate universe from Johto and Sinnoh where they were fused together from Pearl and Diamond) he was a secret hitman who worked for Giovanni when someone new information about them and they needed them to be put out of commission or silenced so they can continue doing their nefarious plans, he was just as greedy and cruel if not more than Giovanni himself. His name was Drake (not the dragon type gym leader) and he was a *huge* power hunk, like he only approved of the strongest, brutal and intimidating pokemon on his team to do the job, he didn't like "weak" ones, he thought they were as important to him as a dirt in the sand under his boot. Stereotypical asshole trainer.
So Sylvia, whose an Eevee at this point, was exposed to the cruel fate she didn't expect to find. Her parents (an shiny Umbreon, her father, and a Espeon, that's her mom) we're defeated/fainted and captured by Drake as they were trying to defend her. Taking them away from her. They then mistreated her parents and eventually they died, they eventually captured her just because, thinking maybe she'll be "useful" in the future, he forced her to fight even at her weakest against stronger pokemon and ridiculed her when she failed and fainted, all on purpose. After painstakingly long torturous months of "training", he put her in a daycare and just left her there, forgetting about her. She then met the daycare lady, April Songbird, who was just what she needed. Someone who was compassionate and loving. (How could someone be so cruel to a Eevee? Clearly anyone who'd hurt an Eevee has no soul) April had created a attachment and fondness for Sylvia and eventually all of that affection, love and support made her evolve into a Sylveon. April, surprised then thought and made the fatal mistake of "What if, he'll take her back since she evolved?" So she took the now evolved Sylvia out the daycare, and invited Drake over to show him a surprise. Though she thought he wouldn't come but she still hoped he would so she'd impress him and make him change his view on Sylvia being this "weak, inferior, waste of time" but she didn't.. He came, she hoped he'd be happy to see her evolved but.. He was *disgusted*, "is this a joke? You think this is funny?" Would be the words he'd say to her.
April's reaction was what you'd think, saddened, disappointed and ashamed. She thought she did something right, but, apparently not. Drake was so disgusted by the sight before him, yet he still took her.. Only to show her whose boss, and to see how much power she had. She was put through all that torment again, even newly evolved he still thought the same. Starting to punish her for "not being good enough" till he "disposed of her", April came by to check on how she was only too see her injured body laying motionless on the grass. She was terrified, yet angry. Tried to help her but Drake stopped her. So she won't spread more information to others and expose the truth of Team Rocket's cruelty. He then ordered his Houndoom to attack her, burning her alive. He then put her body in a bag then threw her into the forest, some burned lump of flesh and bones to be eaten by wild hungry pokemon.
Sylvia eventually after weeks died from her injuries leaving her to rot and decay, the many lacerations and scars all over her body, torn ribbons and flesh. It's what he considered "to be strong" to have battle scars, to show how tough she was.. Of course her fragile, wounded body couldn't handle all the pain and she bled out. Her body may have died.. But not her soul, not her *anger* not her *rage* all of that pain and anger against all he did to her and those she loved fueled her spirit, rebirthing her to the mortal realm beyond the understanding of others. As a some supernatural force of vengeance, she had kept all the lacerations and cuts on her body as a reminder of what he did to her, and as some sick twist on how she "was strong enough" strong enough to cheat death and come back by sheer revenge and anger. And killed him the exact way she died, lacerations and bleeding out by Pokemon. Forcing his pokemon to attack him. Then attack each other.
She was treated and told as some urban legend by trainers alike to their children for the dangers and curse of mistreating your pokemon, as they will come back for you.
I also like to think she has a sense self-awareness. She knows she's fictional. She's a being, an entity of unbridled corruption and vengeance.
The large stitch on her chest that goes down her abdomen is there because when she died, wild pokemon came by and took bites from her corpse, Drake didn't seem to bother to get rid of her corpse, he actually treated it as some trophy. Sick freak, when she was "revived" it was stitched back together. It leaks a black liquid, that's corruption. It comes out from the large stitch and her eyes, which were turn out as well, only leaving two red dots as her eyes.
Sylvia can talk, it's a high-pitched, static-y distorted, almost annoyed sounding voice, either through telekinesis or literally speaking.
If you're wondering if she got a good ending she semi did, she found a family of stray Eeveelutions and wild Pokemon that took her in, (she just had to disguise herself as a "normal" Sylveon so she wouldn't freak them out by her visage, a normal Sylveon, just the blue in her eyes are red) and the colors are a tad darker.
She had formed a close bond with a Umbreon named "Midnight", who reminded her of her father. And a Espeon named "Psyche" who reminded her of her mother. As well as a Sylveon named "Sylvianna" who accepted Sylvia as her adopted Sister. More on them later. But yeah that's basically Sylvia.

"Is that Elesa?" Sylvia leaned forwards to see. No, the face shape is off. You'd think an event with Unova's champion would draw the actual gym leader here!
Well, no time to waste, time to get a selfie with Elesa!

I love how they included individual uniforms for all the gym leaders in Sword and Shield. Which means, of course, I had to take it into my own hands to design a Galar gym leader for my fave type. Sylvia is an acrobat, who uses aerial silks spun by her bug Pokemon. Her gym would be stylized like a circus, having the player traverse through a maze of tightropes, trapeze swings, and trampolines in order to reach her. All her Pokemon are kept in net balls, and her number is Japanese Gorowase for "Silk".

Pokemon OC Files #1
ok well i forgot to draw the references SO for now we just get bios!! here’s one for my first character
💚 Alex 💜
Gym Leader
Main Pokemon type of choice: Poison
Badge: Toxi-gas Badge. This Badge resembles an artistic depiction of toxic fume bubbles growing bigger.
About Alex:
Alex is a Poison Type Gym Leader whose main gimmick is skateboarding. Alex loved skating since they were a kid and they felt most comfortable being able to express themselves amongst other skateboarders. They also have a knack for graffiti and were asked to help decorate the town their Gym is centered in because it is a relatively bland and uninteresting place. They’re the fifth Gym Leader and their Team consists of Pokemon from level 35 to 37.
Alex did not want to become a Gym Leader when they were an adult, and really just wanted to travel around the world with their favorite Pokemon, who all just happened to be part Poison types. They were pressured into the role by the League after both their mother and their sister got careers related to it, they’re still openly against the career choice and comment on how “it’s real annoying to deal with sometimes.” Most of the time they’re found lazing around town with their Toxicroak and Toxtricity until/unless they’re forced to go battle someone.
They’re a somewhat reserved, blunt, but chill person who has mild resentment for the League after being pushed into a position they did not want.
Relatives:
Sylvia, who is a Gym Leader as well and comes before Alex is the third Gym Leader. She uses Steel types. She’s Alex’s younger sister and probably the one that looks the least related to them and their mom. Her partner is a Bisharp.
Anemone is Alex and Sylvia’s mother. She is a Fairy Type user that dresses in the pastel goth and/or gothic lolita fashion styles. She uses Pokemon that people generally perceive as gloomy, but also ones that are cute. She is very openly against the stereotype that people who don’t look “cute” to the majority can’t also have cute teams. Her partner is a Mimikyu.
Interestingly, both children are experts in the type that could potentially demolish their mother’s team.
Team:
Toxicroak Female, Lvl. 35.
Ability: Dry Skin
Moveset: Swagger, Rain Dance, Drain Punch, Payback
Held Item: Payapa Berry
Alex will use a Super Potion on it one time during battle.
Seviper Female, Lvl. 35
Ability: Shed Skin
Moveset: Poison Fang, Venom Drench, Sword’s Dance, X-Scissor
Held Item: Payapa Berry
Alex will use an X Sp. Def. and a Super Potion on it one time during battle.
Vileplume Male, Lvl. 35
Ability: Chlorophyll
Moveset: Sunny Day, Toxic, Giga Drain, Venoshock
Held Item: Focus Sash
Alex will use a Super Potion on it one time during battle. Outside of battle they’ve buffed it with an HP UP so it has 105 Max HP.
(PARTNER POKEMON) Toxtricity (Low Key Form) Male, Lvl. 37
Ability: Punk Rock
Moveset: Hyper Voice, Tearful Look, Poison Jab, Electro Ball
Held Item: Focus Sash
Alex has used Iron on it outside of battle, it now has 80 Defense. They’ll also use an X Speed in battle and a Super Potion once.
Once you win against Alex, they’ll give you the Toxi-gas Badge as a sign you succeeded against them.

Meet the Ex-Hero(in)es:
And coming to Cyber Attack as well.
💰Scrooge McDuck
-Struts towards the Headquarters stoically and upon seeing Darkwing, both will be like, “Hey! We’ve met each other before!”. He will be in charge of handling the business side of the Heroes Headquarters, which includes dealing with bills, maintaining the economy of the City, and count money(as always).
🔮Magica de Spell
-Unless if Scrooge already arrived, she will receive a whack on the head. If not, she will appear in a poof of purple smoke and cackle wickedly(or both). Maleficent would have a curious demeanor to this new sorceress and be interested at Magica’s mastery of magic. They would also enjoy “tea time” with each other.
🤖Gizmoduck
-Unleashing his signature catchphrase and holler, “Never fear! I am GIZMODUCK!”(What he would also say when one of his comrades is being beaten down by Creeps). Unfortunaley, Darkwing Duck would be heavily pissed at his arrival, and will do anything to get rid of him, only to get in trouble by the Hero Command.
💣Negaduck
-Will arrive during a Halloween event, and bursting the door open, he begins to rev his chainsaw(to scare the Heroes), only to get kicked in the beak by his arch-nemesis, Darkwing Duck. He is soon to be an intimidating leader of the Villain Hub, demoting Hades to second-in-Command.
Unless if Jafar comes in, both the mallard and demigod will be demoted to co-dragons.
Speaking of Hades, the two will get into a fiery and stressful relationship with each other. Negaduck is also carefully watched by Darkwing, due to the Hero Command fearing Negs’ destructive personality.
⭐️Duck Avenger/Donald Duck
-Will praise himself to FINALLY shine in another media. Spotting Stitch, DA will dash over and inspect the “cute and weird alien”. He will also hang out with Mickey and Goofy(mostly in his civilian identity).
✨Bill Cipher
-As a top prankster of the Heroes Headquarters, despite being a member of the Villain Hub, he sometimes makes a deal with Vanellope and Dash to commit a prank spree. The duo shouldn’t trust him, because his pranks make Vanellope and Dash end up in deep trouble then the duo’s regular pranks. Randall sometimes partners up with him.
And don’t call him a ‘Floating Dorito’: the consequences can be fatally weird.
🔎Agent P
-Accompanies Darkwing Duck, the ZPD, Finn and Holley on their cases. They are the only Heroes that can understand the platypus. The others have difficulty translating Agent P’s chatter.
🎼Wander and Sylvia(tag team)
-You can find Wander making musical numbers with Miguel, and Sylvia attempting to fight the Villain Hub, only to peacefully be stopped by Wander.
Or you can spot them together exploring the Heroquarters.
⚡️Lord Hater
-A hot-headed member of the Villain Hub, he has a furious rivalry over Hades(but can’t win against Negaduck or Jafar). Commander Peepers tries to calm his fury down, but sometimes end up in minor burns.
⚡️Commander Peepers
-Accompanies Lord Hater by his side as a bodyguard(Hater doesn’t care about this though). Along with Lord Hater, Peepers is also a member of the Villain Hub.
🔥Lord Dominator
-One of Lord Hater’s notorious arch-rivals, she serves as one of the tacticians of the Villain Hub. She (possibly breaks the Hub rules) sometimes hang out with Shank.
🔥Mulan
-You can find her training in the Heroquarters, especially the downtown Battle Gym that the Heroquarters also own. She enjoys Fred’s fiery talent.
💫Rapunzel
-Spunky, energetic and battle-ready, she also serves as a medic of the Heroquarters(but still fights in the front lines). She enjoys doing festive song mashups with the Battle Mode roster, and she will do anything it takes to make it the best for her comrades.
⚡️Go-Go
-Can be found alongside Hiro in the Heroquarters’ workshop/garage. She usually hangs out with Shank and (sometimes, due to feeling annoyed by his arrogance) Dash.
🔧Wasabi
-Can be found alongside Hiro in the Heroquarters’ workshop/garage. He would make good friends with Ralph and Goofy, and will discuss on how he doesn’t want to be a giant coward on the battlefield(he’s trying).
Good advice on preventing that awkward feeling from two of his new friends will help.
🔥Fred
-Can be found alongside Hiro in the Heroquarters’ workshop/garage. Also a good and fiery Hero for entertainment or on the battlefield.
🧪Honey Lemon
-Can be found alongside Hiro in the Heroquarters’ workshop/garage. Darkwing is interested and intrigued in her chemistry skills.
✨Jafar
-Entering silently to the Heroquarters, he is the soon-to-be-leader of the Villain Hub.
An intimidating leader to say the least.
If no one agrees with him, he’ll hypnotize them with his staff. Negaduck and Hades are his co-dragons in the Villain Hub.
🗡Captain Hook
-A member of the Villain Hub, both Hook and Barbossa have envy for Sparrow’s popularity in the Heroquarters(also formed a friendly relationship, maybe a friendly-rival one).
🤖Yokai
-You may be thinking, “But Hiro already controls microbots in Battle Mode!”. Yes, I know, but I think we might need a villain counterpart for this. Obviously will join the Villain Hub, and attempts to outnumber Hiro’s inventions behind the mask.
In his civilian identity, he tries to act calm and collected around Hiro.
⚙️Oswald the Rabbit
-It was difficult for Mickey to get along with his brother. Like Duck Avenger, Oswald will praise himself to be in another media. He can also be found working alongside Hiro on creating inventions, thinking on creative ideas with Mickey, and probably hovering around the Heroquarters.
One of his biggest fears is being forgotten, since a bunch of Heroes interacting with each other a lot in the Heroquarters would lead to Oswald being left out.
💎Don Karnage
-Brusts through the door in a dancing/singing matter, with sword dramatically pointing upwards. He is a member of the Villain Hub, and (probably breaking the Hub rules) he sometimes make singing rounds with Jessie.
🔎Finn McMissile
-You can find him along with Holley/Mater, talking business with Agent P.
🔎Holley Shiftwell
-She obviously tags along with Finn/Mater and can be found talking business with Agent P.
⚡️Lightning McQueen
-Encourages others on the battlefield to keep on fighting, he sometimes hangs out with Darkwing, but since this version of McQueen is post-Cars 3, it could just be the both of them talking about their future successors(Cruz and Gosalyn).
🔧Mater
-Usually hangs out in the Heroquarters garage/workshop, he offers helpful tools to Hiro. Mater’s talent of successfully driving backwards has intrigued many Heroes, while others(esepecially the Villain Hub) think it’s stupid or crazy.
Mater will describe his backwards talent as crazy.
💡Luxo Jr.
-It’s a strange pick, but when we have Mickey as the star of Disney, how about this ball balancing-Lamp as the star of Pixar and arrive to Battle Mode?
It’s Pixar month right now, and this would make sense.
I can see the two get together and come up with bright-lliant ideas for entertaining the roster. Oswald will join in too.
Imagine Team Disney and Team Pixar of the Battle Mode roster competing against each other...
🦎Randall
-A sneaky member of the Villain Hub, he sometimes makes pranks with Bill, though the majority of it is untrustful.
🐻Winnie the Pooh
-You can find him trying to make friends with every Hero, though making good and healthy relationships with the Villain Hub can be tough for Winnie.
🐯Tigger
-A jolly friend of Winnie the Pooh, you can find him doing a jig with Goofy and Jessie.
Or hanging out with Winnie the Pooh.

Well maybe i should head to sinnoh after i finish up the kalos league but the question is will it be fine if i challenge the sinnoh league with my current team like will they go harder on me since ive completed a league before plus i kinda want to get my hands on ball capsules
Well, gym leaders tend to calibrate their gym battles to the level of the trainer. They’ll probably ask you how many badges you have, and if you show them your eight Kalos badges they’ll ask you about the League. They might also just know about you ahead of time, depending on how far you get in the League (and also on the gym leader in question-- some stay more updated on that sort of thing than others). So yes, they might go harder on you, but only because they know you’re good enough to face a higher challenge!
They sure do have ball capsules in Sinnoh. What are you going to use them for, though, if you don’t mind me asking? They’re generally used in Contests, and it’s pretty much impossible to do both Contests and the League, barring time travel or cloning or something like that. Although I’ve seen some Coordinators use seals in their battles as well as for initial effect, like that one girl Sylvia from a few years ago who used a Splash Seal with her glaceon to create a mist that the glaceon could freeze into diamond dust, so maybe you could do something like that! And there was this one boy, I think it was Asher, who used a Flame Seal to make blue flames for his delphox, and then the delphox used Will-O-Wisp along with its normal flame to make tri-colored fire, and it was really cool!
Haha, I... watch a lot of Contests. They’re just so creative and cool to watch!

IMPORTANT
Hey guys! I’ve made an about and rules page. You can find it here! 
However, if that doesn’t work for you mobile users, here they are compiled in one spot;  RULES: 1. No NSFW. Ever. This will literally never change. Sex and NSFW shit in general makes me hella uncomfortable, 2. No queerphobia is tolerated in this blog. AT ALL. 3. No, I will probably not be up to shipping anything unless you talk about it in DM’s. 4. So long as you don’t try to rp things like rape, stalking, suicide, and other things, I am perfectly okay with roleplaying with you. 5. I’m very lax, I promise!! Please never be afraid to tell me if I’ve made you uncomfortable.6. Just a warning; sometimes, I may write in very minor reactions for your characters. Please understand that I only do this IF I FEEL I KNOW YOUR MUSE GOOD ENOUGH. I would never ever do it to godmod, cause that shit’s just so wrong. 7. Please do not rush me for replies, I promise I’ll get to them as soon as I can. On another note, I generally try my best to match my rp partner’s length, but please understand that’s not always possible!!! - - -WARNING: THIS IS A CHARACTER FROM A DIFFERENT VERSE ON DISCORD I ALREADY PLAY. I really like the guy I’ve built up there, so that’s how I’ll keep my profile here too! - - - Name: Green T. OakAge: 21Gender: MaleSexuality: Aromantic Asexual Pronouns: He/Him Region: He goes home to Kanto, of course, but he’s usually out with Red travelling these days. Occupation: Former Gym Leader, I guess? not really sure what he could be classified as (unless you count that title of “legendary battler Green” from SUMO/USUM) Pokémon Team: Shiny!Minccino, Arcanine, Gyrados, Exeggutor (Kanto Form), Tyrannitar, Pidgeotto. Sylveon doesn’t battle much, these days thanks to a horrific incident involving Team Rocket. Short Biography:    Green Oak was always a boastful kid. He was headstrong, always butting his head into battles without thinking in an attempt to outdo those around him, and always wanting most things to be kept to himself. He got too cocky one day when he was around 11 years old, though, and challenged Red to a battle on the S.S. Anne……The battle on the S.S. Anne was an eye opener for him – after losing his Raticate, he realized that he needed to focus on other things than just being the best. That was the point he started *caring* about his pokemon, rather than treating them as disposable objects. He even became the champion of Kanto before having one last battle with Red which he ultimately lost. As Red fled to Mt. Silver to escape the fame of winning, Green had *many* years to think about himself, and went on what some may call a journey of self discovery. From that point on, he’s grown into the caring and snarky – but suprisingly friendly – man he is today, rather than the bratty child he used to be.He was downright ecstatic when Red finally decided to stop being a mountain hermit and eagerly jumped at the chance to talk to his old rival. A bond similar to that of friendship formed, and it is the one relationship Green considers to be constant and most important to him. Nowadays, Green travels abroad all the time to different regions, studying in hopes of becoming a Pokemon professor himself just like his Grandpa Oak. He seems to enjoy hanging around Red, finding immense comfort in  his presence. And by the way, he met his faithful companion, Pinkie the shiny Minccino, during a dinner at Striaton city. She was causing much trouble and decided to come for him, ended up S.I.M.P.ing him (squirrels in my pants) before he finally offered her the chance to be caught – and to his surprise, she EAGERLY caught herself. Now they’re inseparable, and since Sylveon doesn’t like coming out of her ball very much, Minccino has kind of become his walking pokemon. But don’t let that fool you; nobody could ever replace Sylvia (Sylveon) and he knows that for a fact. Green also has a very intense fear of mimikyu. He’s had a bad run in with them, and he will elaborate if you ask him why; otherwise, he won’t do anything,

Wednesday, October 14, 2020
Northwest Passage (WSJ) Thanks to the warmest summer on record and ice melting, more ships than ever before are trading along the Northern Sea Route that runs from Alaska to the Baltic Sea. In 2018, 47 vessels made 572 voyages along the route from January to June. This year, over that same period, 71 vessels made 935 sailings. The trip cuts an average 10 days of sailing compared to the standard trip through the Suez Canal, and the Russian government is planning ice-free year-round trips beginning in 2024.
When school is home and home is school, which rules prevail? (AP) Toys that look like weapons. Barefoot students. Disruptive imagery in the background. Pets roaming the room. All a clear violation of rules inside most American classrooms. But that was when most American students were actually inside schools. In the learn-from-home world, teachers and experts can easily imagine the friction of extending regular classroom discipline into young people’s previously private spaces. Can students have posters visible in the background backing social or political movements that others disagree with or find racist? Can they wear clothes at home that are banned from classrooms? How can a teacher respond when a student says or does something that the instructor deems rude, offensive or threatening? Weeks into the fall semester, a growing number of school officials are navigating those grey areas. In Colorado, Maryland and Pennsylvania, school administrators asked police to investigate separate incidents of toy guns, BB guns and a suspected rifle visible on video feeds from students’ homes. The actions raised complaints that they had overreacted to something that didn’t threaten either those students or their classmates. On social media, parents and teachers have mocked lists of rules about wearing shoes, keeping pets out of view or banning food and drink during virtual lessons. It is, they say, school going too far and reaching into private spaces.
Desperate Americans hit by pandemic beg Congress, Trump to pass economic relief bill (Reuters) Sylvia Padilla spent last Thursday checking food pantries in Lubbock, Texas for groceries to feed herself, her daughter and three-year-old grandson. Some places were closed, others had nothing available. Outside the shuttered St. John’s United Methodist Church, Padilla, 50, recounted her struggle to survive during the economic disaster that the novel coronavirus pandemic had dumped upon her, choking words out through tears of fear and frustration. “This is like a nightmare I can’t wake up from,” Padilla said, resting her face in her hands. “It really feels like a nightmare, but it’s our reality.” Like many Americans, Padilla is barely getting by and says she desperately needs government help. She received a $1,200 check in April from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The check helped her pay back rent she owed and she and others are hoping that lawmakers and the Trump administration can reach accord soon on another relief package after months of disagreements. “We’ve got some potatoes and beans at home. A bit of flour for tortillas. We’re just trying to make that stretch,” said Padilla, whose business selling food to construction workers ended with the pandemic and her daughter last month lost her job in retail sales. “A new stimulus check would really mean the world to me right now.”
Two Parties Offer Dueling Views of Barrett as Confirmation Fight Begins (NYT) Republicans and Democrats offered sharply divergent arguments on Monday in a Supreme Court confirmation fight whose outcome is likely to steer the court to the right for years, vying to define Judge Amy Coney Barrett and frame the political stakes of President Trump’s rush to install her before he faces voters. In a marathon day of opening statements, Democrats assailed Judge Barrett as a conservative ideologue who would overturn the Affordable Care Act and abortion rights, and whose nomination amounted to an illegitimate power grab by a president in the last days before the election. Republicans steered clear of addressing Judge Barrett’s anticipated effect on the court, instead promoting her sterling qualifications and accusing Democrats of unjustly attacking her because of her Catholic faith. Judge Barrett, a former Notre Dame law professor, appeals court judge and mother of seven, sat in silence for much of the day; her expressions were rendered unreadable by a plain black mask she had donned in accordance with the Senate Judiciary Committee’s coronavirus protocol. When it was her turn to speak, she tried to avoid being pulled into the political or policy fray. “Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life,” Judge Barrett said. “The policy decisions and value judgments of government must be made by the political branches elected by and accountable to the people. The public should not expect courts to do so, and courts should not try.”
Under the U.S.-Mexico border, miles of tunnels worth millions of dollars (Washington Post) NOGALES, Mexico—The cocaine travels north through the sewer. Sometimes the traffickers send it floating in bags on a river of wastewater. Sometimes they crawl with it through mud and human excrement until they hit U.S. soil. As the U.S. border wall rose just north of this city, the drug trade here has been driven underground. Mexican and U.S. patrols have found tunnel after tunnel drilled into an 80-year-old drainage system that connects the two countries, 15 feet below the earth’s surface. The subterranean challenge of stopping drug trafficking and human smuggling is on daily display here. Once traffickers discovered the Nogales drainage system, they learned to drill and hammer into the walls of the channel. Authorities don’t know how much contraband makes it through the tunnels before they are found and blocked. But they say a narrow hand-dug passage could be worth tens of millions of dollars to drug cartels. On a scorching recent Monday afternoon, a team of Mexican national guardsmen crawled into the underground drainage system. Traffickers seemed to enter every day, drilling holes that bisect the sewer like Swiss cheese, each of them connecting the pipeline to Arizona. One tunnel led to the bathroom of an Arizona home—and 211 pounds of cocaine and fentanyl, meth and heroin. Another opened up in an overgrown patch of grass just north of the border wall. The aging drainage system, built in the 1930s as a Depression-era joint project between the two countries, connects the twin cities of Nogales, Mexico, and Nogales, Ariz. It has been a boon for traffickers: More than half of the tunnels found beneath the U.S.-Mexico border since 1990 have been discovered in Nogales.
Peru opens Machu Picchu for single Japanese tourist (DW) Peru’s famous Machu Picchu ruins have opened for the first time after months of lockdown—but just for a single tourist from Japan. Jesse Takayama had been waiting to visit the World Heritage Site since March when the coronavirus pandemic halted travel, forced widespread closures and left him stranded in Aguas Calientes, a town near the tourist site. Minister of Culture Alejandro Neyra said Takayama had been granted access to tour the site after submitting a special request. “He had come to Peru with the dream of being able to enter,” Nyra said. “The Japanese citizen has entered together with our head of the park so that he can do this before returning to his country.” “The first person on Earth who went to Machu Picchu since the lockdown is meeeeeee,” Takayama posted on his Instagram account alongside pictures of himself at the deserted site. “This is truly amazing! Thank you,” he added in a video.
Britain’s New Measures to Control Virus Inflame North-South Tensions (NYT) Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday ordered pubs, bars and gyms in the high-risk city of Liverpool to be closed, a move that inflamed tensions with local officials and laid bare how the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic is hitting Britain’s north harder than London or the rest of the south. 2.4 million people in Liverpool and its suburbs face tough new restrictions while for now, life in London goes on more or less normally. The plan has infuriated officials in the north of England, who complain that they were cut out of the government’s deliberations. And the new lockdowns—aimed at the areas where the virus is most rampant—will throttle their economies, they say, betraying an election-year promise by Mr. Johnson and his Conservatives to raise prosperity in the north closer to the level of London and other richer areas in the south.
EU to sanction Russia (Foreign Policy) The European Union has agreed to impose a new round of sanctions on Russian individuals over the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny last month. Germany and France proposed the measures at a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Monday, which the EU duly voted to back. The sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans on several Russian military intelligence officials. EU leaders have urged Moscow to provide transparency into the circumstances surrounding the attack. While Navalny was being treated at a hospital in Berlin, German experts determined that he had been poisoned by the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok, a substance that has been implicated in the poisonings of other Kremlin critics. Since his release from hospital, Navalny has publicly pinned the blame for his attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
India’s Talks With China (Foreign Policy) China’s and India’s top military brass met for their seventh round of talks on Monday aimed at defusing tensions along their contested border, the Line of Actual Control (LAC), where violence has erupted several times this year. Sources told the Times of India that the Indian delegation asked the Chinese for a “complete de-escalation” at troop interface areas, including the entire frontier in eastern Ladakh, where deadly clashes occurred in June; Indian commanders insisted that China needed to make the first move and revert to the positions it held in April. The Chinese delegation demanded that Indian forces vacate a series of tactical heights they occupied in late August before a resolution could be reached. Similar to the first six rounds of negotiations, a breakthrough looks unlikely. Neither India nor China has shown any willingness to reduce their significant military presences along the LAC. Although a resolution probably won’t be forthcoming, both sides have already agreed to refrain from needlessly escalating the standoff.
White House moves forward on three arms sales to Taiwan (Reuters) The White House is moving forward with three sales of advanced weaponry to Taiwan, sending in recent days a notification of the deals to Congress for approval, five sources said on Monday, while China threatened retaliation. The move in the run-up to the Nov. 3 U.S. election, first reported by Reuters, is likely to anger China, which considers Taiwan a wayward province that it has vowed to reunite with the mainland, by force if necessary.
Like a bad movie (Foreign Policy) Imagine going into a coma in January and waking up to the state of the world today? Although former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig wasn’t actually in a coma, he has been held arbitrarily by the Chinese government for nearly two years along with fellow Canadian Michael Spavor. Canada and other western countries regard their detention as retaliation for the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Canada. Kovrig had been held in extreme isolation in China beginning in January and made his first contact with the outside world on Saturday. “He was astonished to learn about the details of the Covid-19 pandemic and remarked that it all sounded like some ‘zombie apocalypse movie,’” his wife said in a statement.
Spearfishing in Gaza, a living improvised under the sea (Reuters) Armed with a snorkel mask and a home-made gun shaped like a trident, and dressed in a green sweatshirt and jogging pants, Ashraf Al-Amoudi goes hunting every day in the coastal waters of Gaza. He is one of scores of spear fishermen who scratch out a living close to shore in the Hamas Islamist-run territory, diving from boats to depths of around four metres (13 ft) without oxygen to prise oysters from the rocks and catch grouper, sea bream and mullet. “At the beginning it was a hobby, and when I couldn’t find work it became a job and a source of living,” said Amoudi. Now his catch nets him an average of around $14 a day. Gaza’s unemployment rate is around 50% and tight restrictions imposed by Israel—which cites security concerns in its conflict with Hamas—make it difficult to obtain diving equipment and sometimes force the closure of Gaza’s fishing zones. So Amoudi and his co-workers are used to improvising. “We can repair fins, make an underwater gun, but there are things we can’t (obtain) such as fins, suits, goggles and oxygen,” he said.

@noxencores said: “The sound of rain is so nice.”  rainy day starters
A pitter patter upon iron clad roofs; that was a relaxing sound resounding out. Getting caught in the rain was one thing, soaked through &. hair dripping wet; Sylvia had missed the often erratic change of weather within Galar. Even having to wring out her hair, which now felt more like a weight that fell behind her back, didn’t bother her too terribly. It was enjoyable, nostalgic even, to simpler times. 
But having that enjoyment echoed in words nearly caused her to jump out of her skin. He was a quiet one, she barely noticed that he’d taken up shelter beside her. It’s when her eyes find the stranger does she take pause.
Tumblr media
❝ Oh... ❞ Sylvia knew of him, or at least has seen brief glimpses. Despite having left Galar, she still tried to keep up with the occasional gym battles that went out on broadcast. Gym leaders weren’t uncommon things, but those who were notable in Galar could have quite the following. ❝ I quite like it myself, Sylvia would instead muse. I’ve missed it, coming back home &. being welcome to a major downpour. It feels like it’s a strange kind of welcome, you know? Maybe that sounds silly... ❞

Application: Champion Iris
OUT OF CHARACTER
ooc contact: discord
other characters: ash, mewtwo, touko, sylvia
name/alias: ky
pronouns: she/her
discord: yup
 IN CHARACTER
character name: iris ward
series: pokemon bw/b2w2
personality: 
Iris is a kid-at-heart with a generous personality. Despite spending a lot of her younger years feeling the pressing need to act older than her age, one of the things she learned growing up is that being a kid is perfectly okay at the right time and place. Even though Iris is mature and strong now, she still generally caries an upbeat attitude highlighted by seemingly endless confidence and optimism that was—let’s face it—actually well earned.
Because of this attitude though, Iris often slips under the radar—and that’s okay! People who know her, know her, and in her opinion, those who don’t are perfectly fine. She actually finds it to be a relief that people don’t expect her to be a Champion on a daily basis, particularly since the Champion lifestyle is otherwise so different from the way she grew up.
Regardless of what people think of her, Iris is quick to spring into action when someone needs help, whether that help be a meal for the family or needing to beat down some thieves. Sure, sometimes she’s tempted by the idea of revenge or letting people get their just deserts, but she’s learned that to be a true master—of dragons or otherwise—you have to be able to keep a level head and maintain a pure heart. Therefore, she’s not as vindictive or self-centered as she used to be, either.
Overall, Iris is significantly more mature than she appears. She has a massive trust in her own strength as well as that of her Pokémon, is humbled by her path and the immense amount of faith people have shown in her over the years, and knows when to put that serious face on when necessary. She’s blossoming into a young woman who understands not only the hearts of dragons, but of humans as well, which is something a younger her might not have even considered.
background: For Iris’ full backstory, please click here.
Having reigned as Champion for a few years now, Iris has seen plenty of good and evil in the world. She was there to take on Team Rocket when she traveled with Ash, and Team Plasma as a Gym Leader. But she had always had a discontent with the way the laws of the land handled these victories. She and her friends would do the legwork, hand them over to the International Police, and yet she would hear of people escaping; people getting away with their crimes. She would learn, as a child, that it was a crime to attack someone for being a criminal.
But she played her role. She learned to work within the confines of the Law so that she could be the best Gym Leader (and eventually Champion) she could be.
That was, until another Champion approached her with a dream of changing the world.
Although Iris readily accepted, as of right now, knowledge of her affiliation with Team Guardian is limited to a select few (to be decided depending on who joins the verse). She currently feels as though she’ll be most influential if she maintains a neutral stance, but she’s only biding her time, really.
abilities: communication with dragons and those in the dragon family.
