tagged by @spyromancy thank u friend ^^

last song: unless you count the songs I was playing at band practice last night, in which case it would have been crack lizard by untimely dosage but like a blues version, the last actual song I listened to was supercell by king gizz cause I wanted to figure out how tf that drum line works in the intro

fav color: oh gosh there's so many pretty colours but typically it's a pretty safe bet to say lavender, mint, or peach.

last book: she who became the sun by shelley parker chan! i'm reading this one for a book club i'm hosting at my work

last movie: ultraman zero: revenge of belial. i was kinda going through a bit of an ultraman kick recently. it started with trying to watch gaia and not really having the best time with it so i decided to go back to r/b which is my comfort season and i burned through it really fast and i wanted to like, see what the rest of the new gen hesei stuff was like so i've been watching the ultraman zero stuff. revenge of belial was a fucking BANGER

last show: pokemon horzions!! i just started watching it the other day and i'm already 20 episodes in IT'S SO GOOD I'M SO IN LOVE WITH IT

last obsession: right now in general i'm hitting a phase of pokemon hyperfixation. generally i'd say that pokemon is one of my favourite things so it's an obsession that is sorta always active even in the background of other obsessions but currently it's in full swing. i'm working on soft resetting for a shiny turtwig in platinum on 3 ds systems, i've been playing through violet again, and i'm also watching horizons!!

ibunno who to tag but if you see this on your dash and think it looks like fun feel free to do it ^^

Baja BlastDex No. 016: Lurantis

I’ve been very excited to show this one off!! Her name is Cronenberg, and we met a very, very long time ago! She was one of the first shinies I’d ever caught, in Alola during an SOS Chain all the way back in 2016! This makes her nearly a decade old!

I’ve always found shiny Lurantis to be one of my favourites, and one of the ones that got me into researching Shiny Pokemon. As a species, Fomantis and Lurantis seem to be doing the opposite sort of camouflage that a typical orchid mantis uses. Instead of a bug attempting to look like a flower to evade predation, Lurantis is a plant who masquerades as a bug. This facade is even stronger in the Pokemon’s shiny colouration, appearing even more mantis-like with its bright greens! This leads me to believe that the shiny colouration is actually a survival adaptation, and we may very well see that become the dominant colouration for the species in the future!

Now, Kukui’s Pokedex implies that Lurantis does this as a form of self-protection as well, but that doesn’t entirely make sense to me. Both Bug and Grass Pokemon share many of the same weaknesses. And while it’s true that Grass has more weaknesses than Bug, making it desirable to appear as a Bug type so that it may deter Poison, Bug, and Ice types from attacking it, I simply don’t believe that to be the full scope of its disguise.

When looking at the origin of its name, we find that Lurantis is a combination of “Lure” and “Mantis,” and I believe that is true to its nature. There is one weakness that Bug types have, which Grass types are supereffective against. Rock types! I believe Lurantis may be masquerading as a Bug to lure out Rock types as prey. This is supported by its shiny colouration, as a Lurantis that looks even more like a bug is sure to draw in more prey, thus having an easier time surviving. It’s so fun to think that we may be in the very middle of observing the evolution of its species!

Baja BlastDex No. 003: Feraligatr

This big mama Gator’s name is Cali, and I caught her during the Totodile Community Day Classic on March 22, 2025!

Her and the rest of her family were caught while I was also soft resetting for a Johto starter in Heart Gold! I ended up getting a Chikorita from that on the very same day who I named Sundance. I like to envision Cali and Sundance as penpals, and I’d love to do a photoshoot with the both of them once I can finally move Sundance all the way up to the most recent games!

The Totodile line is my personal favourite starter line, and I’m so happy I got to kick this Pokedex off with this line in particular, especially since their shiny variants are all fantastic 🫶

Baja BlastDex No. 001: Totodile

I found this sleepy little guy, as well as the rest of his family in Pokemon GO on March 22, 2025 as part of Community Day Classic!

Since we’re kicking off this Dex with the Totodile line, I’ve decided to name him and his family after the origins of Baja Blast!

This cute, chompy croc’s name is Taco 🌮

for those not in the know, new york, infamous for its traffic, introduced congestion pricing.

this is a $9 toll for cars entering parts of the city. this of course was met with carcels loudly complaining that it would ruin the economy, but the opposite happened:

Subway usage up 11%!

# of reported crimes down by 36%*! (*data from nypd, who have a history of lying about crime data. number is most likely much higher)

car crash related injuries fell 51%!

car honking complaints down 67%!

broadway attendance up by 21%! restaurant reservations up 7%!

fuck yeag public transit!

(disabled ppl are exempt from congestion pricing ❤️)

I'd love to say that this is the dumbest thing I've ever made, but we both know that's a lie

having a king bed sounds scary what if you try to put the fitted sheet on and get lost in there and die like a caver
