I refuse to stay dead.

It’s become a tradition of sorts that the first and last picture I draw every year features Charizard!
Tomorrow’s supposed to be a bit busy, but I’m hoping to get this sketch cleaned up and post that dang Beedrill picture + story combo I’ve been picking away at all month between life trying to stab me with a blunt instrument.

Also it’s officially thirty-minutes until my birthday and wow I am not prepared to be turning 27 why does that feel so old.

@paperairplanemob replied to your post “Whee, updates! Short summary…” Glad to see you’re okay! I’m sorry about the pupper and the kitties; I’m not looking forward to having to make that call for my pup. But I’m glad you’re getting to go to church, and I’m hearing nothing but good things about LGPE, so I’m glad you’re getting to enjoy it! (No Switch here as of yet; have to play the games I have before I can think about getting an entirely new system…)

Yeah, it’s definitely up there as one of the worst calls that have to be made, but it does get a little easier in time. Calling the vet for Moony was the first time for me and it was the roughest, but for Elvis and Tricky it was a tiny bit easier. Such is the life of a pet parent! D:
There’s that one quote that talks about how every time you lose a dog they take a part of your heart with them and leave a part of themselves behind and, eventually, your heart will be more canine than human. That’s how I feel with our cats! They take a part of me with them, but I’ll always have a part of them with me in its place. :3
I also have two parts dog in there, but they were good puppers who got along with our kitties so they can stay too.

But oh man, LGPE is so good!!
I was only able to get it and a Switch because I’d been helping to keep the budget kind of straightened out for a few months, so we’d managed to save up a little. It was definitely a lifesaver as a distraction, too, so I think it was a good advance birthday/Christmas investment. :D
As a bonus I even ended up with a shiny Chansey and Onix! Riding a shiny rock snake around Kanto is amazing.

It makes me really excited for the game due out next year!

@llywela13  replied to your post “Whee, updates! Short summary (because it gets reeeeally long under the…” hi hon, nice to see you posting :)

Hi!! :D Oh man it’s been ages akjdhsjdh.
It’s nice to be posting again and plodding around Tumblr, even if I have a ton to catch up on!
I’m hoping I can get back in the habit of posting here on the regular again! c:

Whee, updates!

Short summary (because it gets reeeeally long under the read more and I totally don’t expect anyone to read everything):
Pupper died, kitty died x2, mom’s in a wheelchair because the VA is terrible apparently, epilepsy is still a thing, money’s still a bit tight, and our winters are cold.
But! Video games are fun and I’ve adopted a new feral kitty and her kittens! Also I’m trying to make a game now! And my uncle is nice enough to take me to church whenever he can! :D

@rejnka replied to your chat “Me: Hmm…” hi person i followed just because you posted about glitch pokemon can you post about glitch pokemon thanks

Hello back, person I don’t know!!
To be honest I totally do want to post about glitch Pokemon again, I just gotta find my muse for it! I probably should go poking around the list of glitch Pokemon and their various effects for inspiration; I still absolutely love the little glitchy babies and they have a ton of potential that’s gone surprisingly untapped by the Pokemon fandom~

Me: Hmm, I was hoping to try and get back on Tumblr in October, but then life kind of exploded. Maybe I could step back on now to check up on-

Tumblr: EVERYTHING IS FLAGGED AS EXPLICIT NOW

Me: … Ah.

Tumblr: BLOGS AND THEIR POSTS ARE OUT OF ORDER

Tumblr: BUT ONLY SOMETIMES

Tumblr: GOOD LUCK FINDING RECENT POSTS

Tumblr: OR EVEN A HINT OF METHOD BEHIND HOW THEY’RE SORTED

Tumblr: ALSO EVERYONE IS LEAVING

Tumblr: ARE THEY LEAVING BECAUSE WE HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA WITH MALICIOUS INTENT OR BECAUSE WE’RE MAKING POOR DECISIONS??

Tumblr: WHO KNOWS

Tumblr: BUT THE GREAT BLOG PURGE IS NIGH

Tumblr: EVERYTHING IS PROBABLY ON FIRE

Tumblr: NO BLOG IS SAFE

Tumblr: DOOM AND DESTRUCTION AWAIT YOU ALL

Me: Ah, it’s good to be back.

I wanted to kill my friends with kindness by drawing themselves with their rightful “villainous” Pokemon husbandos (including my own hehee) in a Modern AU.

(Left to right: @sappire-charizard and Gladion, @sakuraxisxevil and Guzma, Myself and Archie)

*weeps openly*

Please look at the cause of my death and tell my cats I loved them.

OKAY so @sakuraxisxevil is in love with Guzma from SuMo and a) I ship it, b) she introduced me to the idea of a Pokemon AU where everything is old timey lords and ladies and princesses. Also probably real life animals replace Pokemon because why not?

This AU catered exactly to like… all of my favorite things, so in return I thought I’d try to write her a little thing?? It’s not very long, and I feel like it’s definitely missing something, but I wanted to get it out there for the time being as a present~ :D

Also I’m kind of tired so my proofreading probably leaves a lot to be desired and apologize in advance. ^^;

@paperairplanemob replied to your photo “Laziest background ever or laziest background ever? I wanted to draw…”

I mean, I knew how it was going to end, and I still have tears in my eyes. I mean pride, liquid pride, that’s totally what it is.                    

And that’s exactly when you know you’ve done your job as a writer~
That makes the afternoon spent editing it totally worth it, thank you! >w<

Also for some reason I’m not following you any more?? That’s like… the third time Tumblr has unfollowed you for me. Tumblr why.

Edit: Now it says I’m following you again because of course it does. >__>;

I got way too excited about the new Lycanroc so I had to draw it immediately??
I’m really hoping for a dawn form that’s upright, but there’s a chance the dusk’s shiny will be pink instead so…
Anyway, his name is Orange Juice and I’m kind of tempted...

Dude, I love SM so much and Guzma and Plumeria are amazing. So is Lillie and Gladion and basically the entire SM cast. Team Skull has boosted to my number one fav villainous team

sappire-charizard:

OH MY GOSH I KNOW, RIGHT?

Team Skull is amazing, and the story built around them? It’s probably one of the best fleshed-out background for an “evil” team.
Like with most of the teams (barring maaybe Team Rocket), you kind of have to wonder how the heck they got where they are and got the funding for their ridiculous schemes. Skull, though?
Funding from a crooked organization, scheme itself from the mind of a wealthy woman scientist who went mad after her husband went missing/was killed.

That’s insane coming from a Pokemon game and I love it so dang much. ;A;

I also really love my team and can’t wait for USUM to come out so I can make a second one. There are so many Alolan Pokemon I fell in love with!
What was your team by the end of the game?

My first play actually ended before the end, as my team by the 4th island was just having such abysmally bad defense issues I started over. Since then I’ve been messing around with lockes because I love so many pokemon it’s hard to choice.

My team before I ended was Incineroar, Lycanroc midday, Mimikyu, Salazzle, Toucannon, Lurantis and Ribombee. Ribombee had been a team member since before the first trial, dropping her for Mimikyu was so hard.

But in other lockes that I’ve lost I’ve used Grimer, Oricorio, and Mudsbray gaining huge adoration of them.

I’m planning on a sun run with a character who I will then write a story about with her journey through Alola, changing done of the Alola story a bit while doing so. Though keeping key parts the same because it’s already perfect in some places. But I need to solidify what team I’m going to use.

Oh man, I feel for the defense issues. I kept having major speed problems, myself. Then it turned out that most Alolan Pokemon just have terrible base speed and I was so disappointed.

I ended up with Litten (Eviolite is a life-saver), Midday Lycanroc, Lurantis, Primarina (traded and bred from the GTS), Zygarde 10%, and Solgaleo.
I’m fitting my team into my big overarching story surrounding my trainer that’s gone from gen one all the way up to present day! :D

Do you have any rough plans for your story yet?

This just in: apparently drawing people hanging out with Cutiefly = sensitive content.
I’m laughing really hard for some reason, oh my gosh, Tumblr.

Okay so… @sakuraxisxevil has recently decided to get (back?) into Pokemon thanks to falling in love with Guzma and I got really excited because Pokemon.

So I drew her trainer and starter and then bonus cameo of my trainer and my take on an adult Gladion. Humans are still not my strong suit and I should not be allowed to draw them but this was such good practice wow.

But at least the Cutiefly are a little bit cute??
