So cute! There's something really pretty about how you drew his eyes. There's so much life in them!

I don't really think I actively dislike any of TØP's albums. I like them all in different ways and for different reasons. That said, SAI probably sits somewhere in the middle for me. I connected with Redecorate on such a deep level that it elevates the entire album for me. And the experience of Mulberry Street live was also incredible.

SUCH a lovely Mega. I caught a shiny Ralts the other day and it's male. My friends encouraged me to evolve it to Gallade, which I know makes sense. But the desire for a shiny Mega Gardevoir is so strong.

I was genuinely really surprised Aegislash didn't get one. The entire DLC I kept expecting it. Florges would have been another good one, I think. With the whole flower aesthetic that could be really beautiful.

Also Flygon. But Ive already gone through the stages of grief on that one and come around to acceptance.

Jolteon. Awhile back I was playing a Nuzlocke of one of the gen 7 games and I had an Eevee. I named him Timmy, after a hamster I had when I was a teen and loved more than anything. Timmy the Jolteon got absolutely wrecked by that one trainer who uses the Dark Z-move and I was more devastated than I expected. I couldn't even continue the Nuzlocke for awhile afterward. Since then, every Jolteon I see is automatically Timmy in my head.

I sent a picture of Corbeau to my friend when I first saw him with the caption "Hear me out"

Her response was "I KNEW IT. I KNEW YOU'D LIKE HIM!"

I guess I have a type 🤷‍♀️

Oftentimes one of my opening lines when I'm joining my friends for a casual outing is "sorry about the dog hair, I've given up." So I completely agree with you.

Several things, but especially how smart corgis can be. Lucy learned tricks and my routines SO quickly. She even taught herself some things! Like when I go to lift her into vehicles, she lifts her front paws one at a time to rest them on my arm so I can lift her. Completely learned that herself with no prompting from me! She also potty trained really quickly. Took maybe a month tops. I had to clean up very few messes once I got her on an established schedule.

Sometimes I think I just got really lucky. I certainly feel that way.

My mom's had dogs her entire life, but she usually had terriers and smaller dogs. She says she feels safer walking Lucy because if she barks and you don't see her, you might think she's a much bigger dog!

It's currently storming in my part of Minnesota. Snow, wind, yknow, the usual for this time of year. Earlier I took Lucy out, complete with little booties on her feet. She too was tapping into her distant snow dog ancestry, absolutely BOUNDING through the snow drifts in her little booties.

Thank you for this opportunity! The Christmas after Sca/Vio came out, I was breeding and wonder trading the Fire and Water type Paldean Tauros so people who got the game for Christmas could be gifted a Pokemon that was a little harder to get. I really enjoy doing things like that. And the game rewarded me by sending a shiny Gyarados right up to the island I was on!

I haven't watched the show yet but Abel might be the push I need. From what I've seen, he seems really cute and Patrick did a good job at voice acting. Ive listened to Abel's parts in Hear My Hope and When I Think About the Future on repeat and they're so good.

I loooove this! The "for REAL?" is great!

I was searching desperately for my favorite Pokemon, Zorua, knowing I'd probably love it. You did not disappoint.

I have a few different methods. Sometimes I'll just Google "nicknames for [Pokemon species]" for ideas. More often though, I use this site called onelook. They have a feature that lets you search for words related to a word you choose. So for instance if I'm naming a Charmander, I might ask the site to show me words related to fire, or lizard, or volcano, or dragon. It's not foolproof but I have gotten some neat nicknames that way.

I really like the tributes to AZ that some people have done. Personally I named it Lucario Road in honor of my precious baby Melee.

Feebas (F if possible) and Tyrunt (any) please! Thank you for this!

I love Dodreapon! I always imagined that line would get a baby with one head to complete it, but I really like your evolution idea!

I love Pathological, and I pretty much have since the beginning. I think it's a great opening to the album. Im really happy with the album as a whole, honestly.

I recently bought the bootleg Grumps shirt, and Im absolutely in LOVE with it. It's so comfy. I've loved everything Ive bought from them. It's nice to know that I can rely on good quality.

I can't remember where, but I heard Arin talking about how merch quality is important to him because he remembers getting really poor quality merch and being disappointed. So he personally makes sure every merch item is quality. And from my experience, it's made a significant difference.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing came up as a recommended song in one of my playlists awhile back. Fell absolutely in love with the song and checked out more of their stuff from there. WISC Reborn felt like a little bit of nostalgia since I was in a totally different place in my life back then than I am now.

Take it easy, friend. We'll tend the fire for you. Best wishes. |-/

I'm so sorry you're not getting the support you need in your real life. Just remember that you DO deserve the support you're seeing here, and you DO deserve good things in your life. One thing that helped me a lot when I was in my darkest times was doing something, even something small, that I knew I liked. Have a snack you love, listen to a song you connect with, watch a comfort episode of a TV show, watch your favorite video of Dylan's (any of the mobile game series are great if you need a laugh). Your feelings are 100% valid and you're allowed to feel what you feel. I hope things get better for you, friend. Sending love and good vibes from chilly Minnesota ❄️
