So I’m about to make a completely insane post. Excuse me.

So I got this comment on Peaks and Valleys the other day, on the chapter where Blue is in the airport and has to put all his Pokemon in holding.

Grabs this anon’s shoulders. I thought about this. I thought about this a lot. I went back and forth on it during this chapter so much.

And I actually concluded that the airline security does not necessarily imply this. While a lot of our real-world flight security was considerably tightened and comes as a direct result of 9/11, I don’t think that’s the case here.

I think this is actually much more mundane safety concerns. Even an incredibly well-trained and well-behaved Pikachu, if surprised by a bout of turbulence, might let off some static. That’s going to interfere with the equipment and make things unsafe.

What about the incredibly variable size and shape of pokemon - what happens if some kid releases Mom’s Nidoqueen or Wailord in the middle of a flight? That’s a big and heavy pokemon to suddenly have in an enclosed space where weight of cargo has to be well accounted for.

Even if you bring a small Pokémon, evolution could happen really suddenly - especially due to environmental effects. Imagine someone’s got their cute little Tyrunt next to them on the flight, it sneaks a rare candy or something, and next thing you know there’s a massive 600lbs Tyrantrum to deal with.

What about the effects on the pokemon themselves - moving quickly at high altitudes between different places and weather patterns is probably going to make a Castform kind of sick and out of sorts.

Pokeball locking, enforcing Everstone use, or having specific regulations about what Pokémon can go on flights and what can’t. Those could be feasible solutions but would also require a lot of overhead. There’s hundreds of different Pokemon, the average flight holds about 200 people, every single person could carry up to 6 pokemon with them. That’s a LOT of SOPs and guidelines to write, a lot of things to check, potentially a lot of things for passengers to get done (I didn’t consider this at the time because it was pre-Scarvio, but Everstones can only be bought in ScarVio at 3000 yen a pop - otherwise they have to be found in the wild. That’s an expensive and annoying thing to source for either passengers or the airline).

The most effective solution - short of forcing everyone to put their pokemon in boxes to get on the other end (and box software varies by region potentially causing complication, a lot of people would really resist this, etc), is just to securely hold all Pokémon in the same way apart from the human passengera until the end of the flight.

In conclusion: never think I didn’t excessively think about the implications of Pokemon air travel in my gay fanfic. I am insane and I did.

"Joel is obsessed with Etho" "Etho is obsessed with Joel" Yes, but- I wanna talk about Iskall. This man bought SIXTY-FOUR. A FULL. STACK. Of Joel stamps. And sent him not one, not two, not three, but four packages, with messages that all end with "x", aka "kisses", to Joel the same episode he got his mailbox. He also sent a ghast tear named "My tear of happiness" with a piece of paper that said "For you x"

Pearls reaction to it too:

Transcript:

Pearl: "(Sixteen) -diamonds? I think that's correct."

Iskall: (Overlapped) "That is correct."

Iskall: "Yup"

Pearl: "I believe so, unless I'm completely wrong."

Iskall: "Here you go!"

Pearl: "Oh my gosh, look at that! Ohh, beautiful sixteen diamonds!"

Iskall: "Yeah!"

Pearl: "Did you just-? Hang on, did you just buy six- Oh my gosh, Iskall!"

Iskall: "Okay, well I'm off!"

Pearl: "Not gonna say anything, you enjoy your newfound obsession!"

Iskall: "I will!"

watching Scar’s recent hermitcraft episode, he comes across the statue of Grian and says something along the lines of ‘And he has a mullet! Since when has Grian had a mullet’ to which I was reminded of my horrible knowledge that actually, Grian does have a mullet

following the definition of a mullet being a hair style thats shorter at the front and sides but long at the back and generally stops at the neck(?), minecraft skins dont really have necks but they have an area that reads as one. The underside of the back of the head (here on Steve)

So following that and the definition of a mullet, Im going to say that any mc skin that has hair that covers that area but doesnt go any lower or extend to both other undersides of the head has a mullet. which lead me on an hour long journey investigating the skin of every hermit to see who actually has a mullet

Behold, the hermitcraft mullet tier list

(Note: joe hill’s current muppet skin has a mullet but its not the one shown so I didnt add it)

skizz is NOT beating the angel allegations

[soxthebox]

i am so. not normal. about skizz saying that he didn't feel nervous before the Gamers Outreach charity event 2024 was starting. because he felt at home. like he said he still feels nervous in his day job even after 18 years of working there! But doing the charity event? he felt like he was home. like he was where he should be.

contrast that with impulse saying he was sweating to hell and back and preparing for every single way the event could go wrong

hermitcraft “fun facts” are so hilarious because they’re always like

etho created the hopper clock! ⏰

xizuma created bedwars! 🛏️

cubfan is a published astrophysicist.

[soxthebox]

place your bets on your phone now: did etho give in to scott’s “if you want to keep playing mcc you have to start streaming”, or did scott give in to etho’s “if you want me in mcc you have to let me not stream”? did the unstoppable force or the immovable object succeed first? is etho’s setup even capable of streaming,

A scene from chapter seven of @twodiamondhoes‘ Dirges in the Dark that I felt had particular gravity, not to say any other scene lacked it! Ditd has been one of the highlights of my week since chapter 1 came out, I tried to include bunch of little details in the designs and had some fun with the lighting, hence it being extremely dark lol!

A couple of close ups under the cut!

(I almost like the partially zoomed in one more than the full image, ehh)

Go read it btw!!!: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53073316/chapters/134280217
