pokemon are always doing shit like "Drowzee used Crazy Floor! Drowzee started getting funky" and it won't tell you what that means. top competitive strategies will revolve around getting funky.

and you really can’t escape it either ughhhhh

it’s everywhere at my job too. The minute I start recognizing The Syntax I go from reading to skimming. I hate what they’ve done to em dashes

They were right when they said once you start noticing ChatGPT syntax you can’t stop, btw. It’s EVERYWHERE and it annoys the shit out of me

yes that is also one of my interests! 💕 miss you too! Actually when we met I was working overnight so we had a similar timetable lol, I don’t anymore so the time zones don’t match as well 😅

just in case you don't remember me by name, I'm an artist/author from the Chicago area - we may have tabled together at a con or share fandoms (Tales, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Revue Starlight, etc)

Happy to find you all again!

Finally pulling the plug on my art account on The Other Site, so I'm following all my mutuals here if they have accounts. If you see a new follower and are confused, hi, it's Meli/Michelle haha.

hey chat, did you know that all the cool kids are following my author profile on Goodreads? that automatically means that you should do it too :)

I still remember us finding each other on the bird app and chatting about FFXIV and even though I don’t really go there anymore I’m glad whenever I see your updates

hmm, this actually makes a lot of sense! Thank you for explaining plainly!

Wow you haven’t played my two favorites.

Four Swords Adventures can be played single player btw, I didn’t have friends and my siblings and I didn’t have GBAs so that was my only option

And again, because people get REALLY touchy about this, I’m not saying I’m better than you for practicing avoidance of things that make me Feel Bad I just don’t understand why when I suggest it the response is “absolutely not” if it really feels so bad

The closest thing I experienced was when I was around 13 I discovered that eating Honey Nut Cheerios gave me the worst bubble guts I’d experienced in my life so I haven’t eaten a bowl since.

I don’t understand why this isn’t the approach.

This is something I struggle to talk about because people always assume I’m trying to be morally superior when I’m not, but I will never understand why people, after experiencing a hangover, decide to drink again if they really feel that horrible

Finished!

I think my niece is going to have such a good time with these books, I completely understand why I loved them so much back in the day. What a fun trip down memory lane this was ☺️

we have rowlet at home

A picture of a shoebill next to a picture of pop musician Sabrina Carpenter. Both are measured at 152cm. Very suspicious.

They’re birdvestigating Sabrina Carpenter on instagram.

10/17

Leaving things here because I distinctly remember that Book 11 is when she fucks up her bangs and I want to give that my full attention because I’ve been there lmao

7/17

Why yes, school pictures ARE a racket, Junie B. That aged like wine.

I got to 5/17 before going to bed last night, let’s knock out some more tonight!

Just one more way to celebrate 30 years of the Tales of series~

A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading: JUST WALK OUT work social thing movies home class dentist figure skating too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!! Real winners quit You can leave!! Da Gold Zone

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

also, I know this has all been the same illustrator but the art in book 3 felt off model somehow. Once I realized, I couldn’t stop realizing 😅

The “[x] is when [y]” running gag continues to be great too lmao

Books done: 3/17

I forgot how wholesome things like Career Day are. It’s been many years since I was a child, so I forgot how jobs as simple and common as a janitor can be revolutionary to children.

Books done: 2/17

Book 2 isn’t as good as the first one, so I don’t have as much to say about it.

this is gonna be such a fun ride I can feel it
