for the "get to know" thing: an ideal color scheme that could easily be in your top 5 color schemes of all time

I know everyone expects me to mention something with orange in it, but I really vibe with a pink-purple-green-yellow-blue combination, ESPECIALLY if it's pastel. I've got both a windbreaker AND my Kirby backpack that fall into that color scheme, and it's just so nice and inviting and I love wearing it with orange accents and accessories.

You COULD always add orange to the main scheme and get a cutesy rainbow look (that would absolutely veer into more Care Bear-esque territory, which I also vibe with), but I'm happy either way.

This is why I shouldn't be allowed to have more than one special interest at a time

I can't take credit for that bottom portion of the screen, it's from this video on MyHouse.WAD, please watch it. (Warnings for unreality, blood, violence, death (including animals and children), some eye strain, and talk of childhood trauma.)

Say the Drak Pack were thrown into a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon situation. What Pokemon would each of them be?

That's interesting question. I assumed this was open to all Pokemon and not just the Pokemon that are playable in the Mystery Dungeon series so I based my answers off of that.

Spoilers: These answers are mainly inspired by the AU teams I've given them before so you can probably predict what my choices are going to be.

For Drak, I would make him a Woobat/Swoobat. As a vampire it makes sense that he would be a bat-like Pokemon so that part is obvious. The Swoobat line is part Psychic which I think fits his personality well as he prides himself on being a leader and coming up with plans and ideas and the like (and he's usually successful at it too). Woobat also evolves into Swoobat via friendship, which fits in with the idea of Drak (and also Howler and Franky) trying to be good/nice to people to make up for the meanness of past ancestors. (For similar reasons I would make Big D a Crobat in this AU.)

There are a couple smaller details that make me think this too, like how Swoobat has a little pink in its design like Drak does and how Swoobat being known as a "Courting Pokemon" (especially the males according to the Pokedex entries) can work with the rare occasion Drak's actions can be viewed as flirtatious.

For Franky I would make him a Golett/Golurk. Golett/Golurk are artificial, man-made Pokemon, so that matches well with Frankenstein's Monsters being put-together, reanimated corpses. Similarly, the Pokedex entries for Golurk talk about how they were created and "ordered" to protect people and Pokemon, fitting Franky twofold; the protecting people part works with him being a hero and his general kind nature, and the "ordered" part works with his tendency to be a follower and go along with whatever Howler and Drak come up with.

There's a couple visual details with Golurk specifically that makes me think this as well, such as how large of a Pokemon it is and that in its shiny form its gold accents become a light green that reminds me of Franky's monster form.

For Howler I was able to come up with a couple ideas for what Pokemon he would be.

My first idea was Poochyena/Mightyena, specifically a shiny one since it's yellow and would match Howler's colors. This is a more obvious choice for him since the Mightyena line is canine-like, but I like this for him more than other wolf Pokemon like Rockruff/(Midday) Lycanroc. Part of the reason is because Poochyena/Mightyena are Dark types, which plays into the idea of werewolves being scary monsters. The other part is because I think the Pokedex entries for Mightyena fit him a bit better.

There's an emphasis on living in packs but still needing to respect someone before following them; I think that plays well into the concept of the Pack itself and the independent streak we can see with Howler sometimes. The Pokedex entries also focus more on the coordination/skill part of hunting than the fighting/harming aspect, so I think that fits Howler's heroic actions better.

The second idea I had was him being an Eevee and evolving into an Umbreon. Eevee came to my mind because I imagined the more physical Normal-type moves it has before it evolves could fit in with Howler's acrobatic abilities (plus it's brown and Howler is a brunette). Umbreon seemed like the best fit for an evolution for a few reasons - it's also a Dark type so the "werewolves are scary" connection would be there, it evolves via friendship so that can match with Drak evolving into Swoobat the same way, and its known as the Moonlight Pokemon and obviously werewolves are associated with the moon.

Personally I do like the first idea of him a Poochyena/Mightyena better and that's the one I would pick for a Mystery Dungeon-style AU, but I wanted to share the second idea too.

Franklin's friend's name was Bear, I'm pretty sure.

How come Franklin gets a real name, but his friend doesn't? That's not fair.

(joke team lore)

Team Old As Balls

Daffy Duck/Donald Duck and Jiminy Cricket/Timothy Q. Mouse

Did you know? All four of them were introduced in media that came out prior to the USA's official entry into World War II. Donald in 1934, Daffy in 1937, Jiminy in 1940, and Timothy in October 1941.

AHAHAHA clever! Although sadly not one of the actual teams, I do love the idea 😂😂😂

[pinoke]

so who are the FPC maining in Mario Kart?

I feel like Augie gotta be a Mario main and this can be said for the other Mario spinoff titles as well! Also, he'd never have to worry about anyone taking his main cause like..not many people play Mario sadly 😭

Also let's be honest here:

For April, I feel she would play as like maybe Toad or one of the Koopa kids!! Rosalina too methinks

Skip for some reason my brain is telling me Waluigi ashfkahsjfasf 😭😭 I feel he would play the annoying characters and be an absolute menace to deal with. And let's be real, he's gonna be targeting Augie the most on the track out of everyone else and throw shells and banana peels at him at every given opportunity 😭

a friendship / somewhat familial aesthetic/moodboard for Grim (Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy) and Dipper & Mabel Pines (Gravity Falls). Possible themes: paranormal, mysteries, glitter,"initially not happy being stuck in this situation but slowly growing to actually care and be protective of the others" (that one's Grim's POV).

man, seeing all the love and appreciation private jam session is getting and how much it’s thriving in the fandom is really awesome and heartwarming. back in the day (2009), it was mostly just @animatedc9000 and me and our fics, not much else in terms of content. sadly, the site we were on wasn’t exactly the most progressive place at the time (and that’s putting it lightly). there was a lot of ‘you can’t make zoot and lips kiss! that’s inappropriate! edit that scene or the whole fic is being deleted.’ and ‘they’re just friends. you guys are reading too much into it.’ 

they wouldn’t even let me write lips kiss zoot on the cheek at the end of ‘roads’, it had to be a hug. ya know, just two buddies being pals.

ehhh...

eventually, we found a friend and fellow mayhead in @iamallybee who wrote the classic that is ‘getaway’ with ani and that’s when private jam session really began to take off. i honestly never imagined how much amazing art/writing/content for them would exist now, it’s incredible and shows how much things have evolved more than a decade later. what else can i say? rock on, folks. ;-;

[monsterhighalumni]

@animatedc9000 yee, i figured! i think it’s funny more than anything else, how even super niche hyperfixations have a kind of cyclical nature on this site. tho i feel like the media venn diagram for retro monster enjoyers being a circle means we’re all posting about the same stuff djfjfjf (gravedale, drak pack, ghoul school, monster high, etc)

[astro-b-o-y-d]

I was trying to like your homemade Journal post and it wouldn't let me, and I was kinda worried. Turns out it was just my internet acting up lol.

Ahaha, glad it was just that! I've accidentally blocked people before (in fact, it happened as recently as last night and I felt SOOOO bad </3) so I'm relieved that wasn't the case again!

[blapis-blazuli]

Anyway, you can find me on Discord under the name Cartoonatic, Blapis-Blazuli on YouTube (I don't make anything lol), AutieDocOck on Reddit, and Crabsolutely_Crabulous on AO3

You'll have to ask for my Cookie Run Ovenbreak and Pokémon Go account codes, if you're into that (would really love to meet more active players for the latter)

Haven't gotten around to using Bluesky yet or properly looking into Cohost, but I will update this if/when I do

Okay, now for some real shit

(Updated: September 12, 2024)

Ericka/Jack. 30s. White, autistic, bi, and genderqueer. He/She/They (in no particular order).

I'm an adult. I swear a lot and sometimes make sex jokes. If that's not your thing, you should probably go elsewhere. This blog sometimes gets political, so if you just want happy fluffy fun times without that, this blog probably isn't for you.

My partner is the lovely @animatedc9000 ❤️

I usually schedule certain types of posts/reblogs for certain days of the week: animals and Pokemon on Mondays, food stuff on Fridays, cats and Spider-Man stuff on Saturdays, more serious things on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and whatever on Wednesdays. (Sometimes a certain crab will turn up on Tuesdays too. Old habits die hard.)

Fandoms/characters I'm a big sucker for:

Pokemon (Carnivine, Belossom, Marill, Corphish, and Crabrawler are among my favorites)

Spider-Man, particularly Doctor Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus, especially the Raimiverse one. (I'm also a Rosie stan: nothing but respect for my gal Rosie!)

Gravity Falls (fandom's mostly driven me away from interacting with them though)

Batman, namely Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin.

1933's The Invisible Man. I like Universal Monsters in general, but that one's my favorite.

Current fandom/character fixations:

Alameda Slim (Home on the Range). I have Many Thoughts on the movie, but they're mostly about him.

Animated Disney Villains in general, really, with a few exceptions (coughhanscough)

Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3, specifically Davy Jones and Calypso/Tia Dalma. (Not Jack Sparrow, though. I am so tired of people only focusing on Jack Sparrow when there are so many other characters and things to discuss.)

I'll update this at random idk

[ghostchasersmagazine]

(Original outfit meme found here)

A couple more requests from that outfit meme. I was originally going to wait and post the rest of the requests I got together, but I decided that since these two were already done to go ahead and post them.

Mark in 4B for Fragglesesamemuppetz2 (I did end up altering the outfit slightly) and Merilee in 1A for @animatedc9000.

(Original template found here)

@animatedc9000 and I were talking on Discord a little bit ago about what Pokemon teams our OCs would have, and I just happened to stumble across this template today, so I made this edit based on her team would be.

Maddie’s Pokemon are split into two groups, her battle team and her fully domesticated Pokemon that she keeps at home. Quick notes on the Pokemon choices:

- The domesticated Pokemon (Buneary/Spinarak/Durant/Ekans) are all based on pets she has

- Pincurchin is the Mr. Grape equivalent, Cubone relates to both the skeletal part of her design and her attachment to her mother, and Toxel connects with her enjoyment of taking care of living creatures (and is also purple like Mr. Grape)

- Carnivine is her mother’s Pokemon, given to her both for babysitting/“watching over” purposes and so she has a strong battler on her team if legitimately needs to fight
