If this man has to haunt me, he has has to haunt you.

Meet Sweaty. He’s a 42 year old absol and lives with his human mom in Castelia, Unova.

Some Absol headcanons:

I do think part of why Absols have such a bad rep among people is partially due to folklore of them appearing before and after horrific disasters, but also because they have such a human face. Imagine seeing this mf in the dark woods watching you. Something that looks human, but is not. Something that sounds human, but is NOT. Follow this by a horrific landslide.

Do you see the problem. Humans remember human faces. Predators sometimes mimic their prey. Absols have the truly unfortunate evolutionary quirk of falling into both categories.

So yes, there was a huge stigma against absols which led to a pretty severe population decline.

In modern day (much like wolves), Absols have become media darlings, in large thanks to a the help of pokemon rangers who utilize Absol’s ability to sense weather as an indicator when to evacuate. They are a very long lived species and need lots of intense exercise, often declaring huge swaths of land as their personal territories. Absols also tend to get very anxious when they feel they do not have enough space, so keeping them with other pokemon’s usually a no no.

Sweaty’s mom used to be a pokemon ranger and found Sweaty stuck in a refrigerator. Nowadays, she lets him free roam—much to the chagrin of every other person in the area. Sweaty in turn makes himself a nuisance to the local icecream store, begging for treats.

(The kids love him. He comes home with ink and paint stained everywhere and it’s a nightmare to clean.)

Hate my human faced monstrosities? Thank @tjs-stuffs for this. Ciao!

I just want to keep my job even though I don't know how to make memes. Buy our coffee. We've got holiday gifts for the coffee lover in your life.

Awesome Coffee is different because 1. we source our beans directly from small farmers collectives, 2. it's better and fresher than grocery store coffee, and 3. ALL of our profit goes to fight maternal and child mortality in impoverished communities, whereas almost all other coffee makes rich people richer, which is the dumbest thing that can be done with coffee (or other forms of wealth).

feels like we are culturally neglecting the meme potential of "[x] made me queer" wherein [x] is any randomly specific throwback.

e.g. "late 90s nickelodeon fruit gushers commercials made me queer." this is a comedy potluck everyone bring a dish to the table

Dolls love to chatter. Its one of my favourite things about them, aside from being pliable and poseable little objects of course; that they love to natter away when they're not on display or in the middle of play.

So to the dolls who have been sharing my stories, and sharing my collection and their experiences, thank you. I do so hope you end up on my lap some time. Then you'll see what I write is far more than just words.

Hello. Thank you so much for sharing yohaji translations. There was a question bothering me for a while. Why do you think Ranmaru hates Seimei ? Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

see ranmaru is hard to read and seimei is even harder to read, but i do have a guess.

because of sensei's recent bad-end takahashi art, i've come to realise: yohaji is a cosmic horror story and seimei is the cosmic horror

if seimei happens to like you for some reason, or the timeline for the people he DOES care about puts you in a good place, then great! you're in good hands! (you were not aware you were in anyone's hands)

otherwise, you might just end up in a bad place, even though 1000 years ago, there was some guy who knew and could change things 1000 years into the future, who might have cared about you if something was different somehow.

of course, this wouldn't matter to you as the hypothetical person in this scenario, because how could you be expected to know about this one guy from 1000 years ago? he doesnt matter to you.

but ranmaru does know him. he was there next to him to see everything he did and said, and he still doesnt understand him

"hate" is an output, a symptom, and it's because ranmaru is afraid of seimei.

ranmaru is really smart and he's lived a long time. he generally knows how the world works and what makes people tick and he likes having the upper hand in a conversation and talking his way under people's skin.

and then this guy shows up and acts like he knows everything! and then he dies! and then you live the next 1000 years and find out he really did know everything and everything is unfolding in exactly the way he wants!

ranmaru likes his free will and his "doing whatever" and seimei is a direct threat to that. seimei stands for the idea that there's no such thing as free will, that everything is predetermined, that you were always going to end up where you are, and you never had any real choice in the matter. in the same way the last page of a book was already written by the time you set eyes on the first page, and in the same way meiji time travel stable time loop happening at all ensures that it was always going to resolve in the state of the world that led to the time travel happening in the first place.

SCREAMING CRYING SOBBING COUGHING UP BLOOD-

NO ONE GETS BOOTHILL LIKE DAN HENG GETS BOOTHILL

I was so horribly, deeply enamored by this line-

Fun extra bonus:

because not only does it bring up once again that Dan Heng is uniquely capable of seeing Boothill past all his posturing and showboating, that he can peer straight down into Boothill's core and so easily decipher who he is and what he stands for and read the methods behind his madness where so few others seem able to, but it also means that reticent, no-small-talk Dan Heng talks about Boothill to other people-

that I switched my game to the original Chinese text to see what would translate through. And.

what they don't tell you about the SCP Foundation is that somewhere between it's cringe 4Chan culture phase and its slightly less cringe Tumblr culture phase a strong contingent of writers started producing some of the best high-concept scifi ever written.

De tre könen memet - Greveholm edition

[overx]

Magic Anons cause I miss 'em

No time conditions added for flexibility with RP styles. Make some crack, do some full threads, keep it contained to asks, whatever your heart desires. Feel free to add specifics to any M!A or leave the details for the receiver to decide! If something already applies to a muse, the M!A can make the opposite occur instead.

Physically Transform the Muse!

Thumbelina: Muse shrinks in size

Maximize: Muse increases in size

So... fluffy?: Muse turns into an animal

Mechanize: Organic muses become machines or vice versa

Fangs: Muse turns into a monster from folklore, pop culture, etc

Wait a sec: Muse is stuck looking like a different character

Afterlife: Character turns into a ghost or other undead entity

Not an anime: Character gets animal traits (cat ears, dog tail, wings, etc), but otherwise maintains their normal appearance

Scenario Makers!

Mortality: Muse becomes mortal or immortal (whichever is opposite for them)

Powerless: Muse loses one, several, or ALL of their major abilities/skills/etc

That's new: Muse temporarily gains a new power/ability/trait

Senses: Muse loses a major sense or gains one they don't normally have

Wrong Edition: Muses powers are now the opposite (fire = water, etc)

Trade me: Asker and receiver swap something (powers, appearance, etc)

(Un)mute: Muse can't speak (or can, if they normally can't)

Rewind: Muse reverts to a past version of themselves

Fast Forward: Muse becomes a potential future version of themselves

Sneak Peak: Muse witnesses a snippet of a future event without context (get creative with the method)

Another life: Muse swaps places with an AU version of themselves

Mirror: Muse's usual personality shifts (friendly muses are aggressive, shy characters are outgoing, etc)

Under the weather: Something is wrong with the muse and they can't seem to recover (a cold? something more sinister?)

Jinxed: Muse is suffering from a string of bad luck or misfortune

Two Truths and a Lie: Muse can only lie or only tell the truth (whichever sounds more fun <3)

Amnesia: Muse has lost some or all of their memory
