#one from slightly further away under the cut so you can actually see the rest of their beak. but i thought the closer one was funnier #starly #this is another one of those “default early route birds” to me. though i think this is one of my faves just because of the feather patterns #the design is pretty. if i saw a bird in real life that looked like this i would think it's pretty. and i've always liked the sounds it does #i dunno maybe it's nostalgia talking bc gen 4 was the game i played a lot as a kid despite gen 6 being my favorite gen #but i don't even remember what the early-route bird *is* for gen 6. off the top of my head. at this moment. i don't even know #i can try to list them all in order #kanto‚ pidgey; johto……… uuuuhhhh……………… fffuck i'm already having a rough time. gen 3 is taillow. i know that. gen 4 starly‚ gen 5 the uhhh #bitch that evolves into unfezant i don't remember their name. gen 6 who fucking knows‚ gen 7 who fucking knows #okay wow i just googled a list i didn't even think of half of these as early route birds. pidgey‚ spearow‚ wingull?? i dunno #taillow feels more like an early route bird to me. starly‚ #PIDOVE that's their name‚ fletchling which i LOVE but i always just remember the fucking pidgey you always encounter first #pikipek whatever i didn't play gen 7 very much‚ rookidee i remembered evolves into corviknight and then i knew wattrel. bc i was like #wow it's an electric-type! i probably look like a total fake pokémon knower right now and well uh #i am. not. a fake pokémon knower. i'm a pokémaster i promise this just isn't a category of pokémon i think about very often

10 Questions Tag Thing

((Tagged by @random-hylian (thanks friend!)

Do you have any pets? Tell me their names and describe them if you do.

Yep! 4 cats and 2 dogs. The cats are Willow (all black, old lady, squeaky purr, prefers humans to other cats), Shadow (grey and white tabby, giant ball of floof and sweetness, seriously he’s rlly big n heavy, like wearing clothes and being told he’s handsome, you can use him as a pillow and he’ll just purr), Vanilla Bean (mostly black with white socks and moustache, tiny but somehow takes up the most space, chirps?? like she has the cutest and weirdest “meow” I’ve ever heard, tiny and light yet somehow it hurts way more when she steps on you than with any of the other cats, we frequently describe her as having “more nicknames than size”), and Niffler (brown sort-of tabby [I think she’s egyptian or smth?], Attitude™, I’m her favourite, luxuriously soft but there’s a 90% chance she’ll attack you if you pet the wrong spot or if she just happens to feel like it, pretty much the boss even though she’s the youngest, glutton, used to play “fetch”, also kinda used to bark, now she does this loud yelling thing instead, thief, she’s terrible I love her so much). The dogs are River (border collie/lab mix, black n white with a curved tail?? the shape is almost like a scythe tbh, rescue dog, an old man who refuses to act old, rlly active, good at escapes (we used to call him Houdini Dog), loves my dad So Much, scared of beeps, separation anxiety, doesn’t howl but his normal bark is like a bark-howl thing) and Loch ([it’s Scottish for Lake], border collie/aussie mix, black n white n brown, basically a bear, complete goof, thinks with his stomach, likes shaking water on people after he gets wet to hear them squeal, will lick your face, will eat your trash, way bigger than he’s supposed to be tbh, doesn’t like moving, when we go to rivers he just sits in the water so that it just flows into his mouth, if you lie down next to him he’ll raise up a paw so that you can give him a hug).

I love them.

What was your favourite cartoon growing up?

Uh... man there were a lot at different points... let’s say Dragon Tales, I watched it when I was little and I loved it so much! And my mom got me a freaking Zak and Wheezie stuffie that talks from the second-hand shop, it’s hilarious and amazing.

What’s your favourite place?

I dunno. Forests are pretty? Though I’m also quite fond of just. Staying in my room. Or if non-physical places count, then definitely my imagination.

What’s your favourite pokemon?

Oh man... I love the Rowlet line, and Eevee is also great! And Dratini is adorable... Pokemon are good...

Have you ever watched Steven Universe?

Ye!

What’s your dream job?

If you’d asked me this as a 3-year-old I might’ve said beekeeper which is hilarious because, A) that many bees in one place would honestly make me nervous even if they are cute, and B) I don’t even like honey.

Now though? Idk, author maybe? Or something to do with coding or robots?

Do you have any New Year’s resolutions?

I’ve never really done “resolutions”, but my family does this thing where... okay so you take a teabag and you empty it out, okay? And it makes a tube. You write bad things you want to let go/get rid of in the new year on one side (or on one tube if you have two), and good things you want to happen on the other. Then you stand them up so they’re on their end... and you set them on fire. But the cool thing is!! When you set them on fire they float up it’s really cool! Anyway yeah we do this and it’s like a sort of “message to the universe” sentimental kinda thing. I like it.

What’s your OTP?

I dunno, I mostly just ship things casually. Like I see one ship and it’s like “oh hey that’s cute!” and then there’s another with the same people and I’m like “hey that’s also cute!!” so really if it’s not like really bad, if I can see the reasoning for it I’ll probably just be like “oh hey cool”.

What’s the first console game you remember playing?

Probably Wind Waker? Or Animal Crossing GCN. I never made it off of Outset Island in WW back then but I had a fun time goofing off and playing with the seagull gourds... anyway I was playing both of those when I was really little, like three or four maybe.

What’d you get for Christmas? (If you celebrate)

Some things including but not limited to: cat socks, a Guardian amiibo, the aforementioned Zak and Wheezie toy, the most terrifying plushie of Boots from Dora I have ever seen (it’s eyes are what make it terrifying) (I love it), ten (10) hairties, some paper “from” Niffler, some mechanical pencils (with extra erasers!!!), a really smooth and clear piece of quartz my mom found on the beach, some pistachio pudding mix (hell yeah!!), a board book about kangaroos with a lil kangaroo plushie bc my mom thought it would be funny for me to open and read it with my Australian friend (see person who tagged me), some buttons??? I don’t need any buttons?? I don’t know why they’re there??, my sister’s old iPod (which is a gen up from mine, has more storage, doesn’t have a cracked screen, and actually holds a charge for more than 2 seconds), and a Magic Tree House book (Dark Day in the Deep Sea with an accompanying octopus toy) because nostalgia. A lot of these things were probably like 50 cents from the second hand store.

My questions:

What do you usually do for the December holidays (whatever you celebrate)?

What’s your favourite weather?

Favourite food?

Favourite story?

Song currently stuck in your head?

Can you cook at all?
