#CHARACTERS GROWTH HUH?

Happy Martim Monday (I am aware of the fact that it is indeed not Monday)

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting.

I wonder what Liko and Amethio will talk about in the cave. My current guess is that Liko could somehow bring up something that weighs on her mind and open up to Amethio. We've seen that she was aware that Roy and Dot were worrying about her and tried to cheer her up to not "inconvenience" them further (which is such a Liko thing to do), so maybe the things she cannot tell Roy or Dot and that she'd rather keep to herself, she would bring up around Amethio. In turn, Amethio could also tell her something that weighs on his mind because he doesn't really have anyone to share things with since he doesn't seem to have friends (outside Soublades). I think it would be neat if they had a talk that is exclusive to both characters and maybe realize it's actually easy to talk to one another when it comes down to it.

Liko is going through similar steps as Amethio right now (Amethio also went through losses that made him stronger after facing Friede, Rayquaza and Hamber). So maybe the events that will unfold with Amethio are going to motivate Liko even further, which would fit since Amethio is connected to her growth as a trainer. Explicitly shown through the writing this time too since they brought up the battle on Roy's island back in HZ006 and had Amethio highlight and directly comment on Liko's progress (which also means he was paying close attention and remembered the events from back then). And he is the one showing up after Liko's confrontation with Grusha, to challenge everything she's been through up until that moment. Maybe Amethio's involvement will be key in Liko eventually passing her course somehow and making her stronger. Which is interesting, because by directly opposing Liko, Amethio is contributing to her growth, which will eventually serve as fuel for her to stand against the Explorers.

Also wondering if we'll get another "thank you" this time, just like towards the end of HZ045.. Maybe Liko thanking Amethio at the end after they manage to get out from the cave, and his reply would be different from the previous time and he would be more honest in his words. Or Liko thanking Soublades. Since they are shown sitting next to a fire to keep warm, maybe Soublades is the one who lit it, so I could see Liko saying thanks. I think they could use this opportunity to interact with each other's Pokemon.

I'm also curious whether Friede will show up to the cave or not. We know he's heading out to look for her while Grusha will help Roy and Dot, so will he show up once she is out or before that? Mostly because I wonder if Liko and Amethio's moment will remain their "secret" and something that remains between the two of them, or if Friede will be there and see Amethio. Next episode will mark twenty episodes since Friede and Amethio teamed up against Rayquaza together, so I wonder if they'll have an opportunity to interact before the current chapter ends. Amethio's connections to Liko and Friede are his most prominent ones out of the main group and they kind of grow together, so I wonder how things could change going forward.

Erin, to her crush: You're a dick

Mason, the crush: I won't argue! But to clarify -

[audiblehush]

If you are fine with the fact that the writers had Penelope doing a last minute, zero build-up, half-assed rebrand in order to remain Lady Whistledown (that can’t even logically function with her going public) i.e. her harmful coping mechanism instead of realizing she doesn’t need it anymore…

Sorry, but you don’t actually like Penelope. 🤷‍♀️

More animation frame screenshots whoop whoop! I swear it’s almost comedic how he’s managed to hijack my YouTube channel and gain me a baffling amount of new subscribers from OUT OF NOWHERE WHA- someone needs to stop him before this happens again I’m scared /j. It’s been fun watching the numbers increase in real time if not a tad overwhelming, but thankfully it mostly makes me feel appreciative more than anything else. Hopefully it’s made people laugh or helped inspired others <3

I would have talked myself out of sharing it otherwise…so glad I made the right decision with posting there. Took a leap of faith and now I feel validated for doing so. I just hope that I’m doing the characters justice even if adding my own unique spin on it. Plus gotta take a step back and remind myself that viewership isn’t what makes the world go round. Wouldn’t want the numbers getting to my head this early on and intervening with my creative visions jksjskp! I get easily influenced sometimes so finding a healthy balance for it is key :))

In meantime enjoy the facial doodles I love drawing expressions hehe

it's been one day and im still pissed when will this end. season 4 had some neat assassination scenes but none of them shined as bright as the writers assassinating the characters like go off monarchs

I haven't read the IDW comics, so I'm way late and all I know of personality is that from what I saw, she's like "oh, abrasive with a rough exterior but can be broken through" yada yada like Shadow maybe but

D'ya think Surge's design is in reference to or inspired by Manic?

Cause, like,

we got Manic. Notably, he has two earring hoops, a unique spikey mohawk-ish hairstyle, spikey cuff bracelets, and is generally very punk related.

And then we have Surge.

Two earring hoops, spikey hairstyle, spikey cuff bracelets, and punk related.

Also, they are obviously both green.

I don't have much else to say. I just noticed similarities and wanted an excuse to say them.

1 - 4 for Vikt for the sensory asks!

• [ sensory headcanon asks ] •

1- A sound they find soothing.

Without fail, Kerry's humming is the most surefire way to relax Vikt, especially in moments of high emotional stress and/or fatigue. Call him a romantic. 🤭

2- A sound they find irritating.

Aside from all the damn ads, especially in the city center? 😂 Vikt's nerves really get grated with anything dry--cardboard scraping against itself, styrofoam, that brown paper towel in public bathrooms. Makes his skin crawl.

3- One or two prized possessions they often hold in their hands.

One is Johnny's dog tags. Typically, they're hung up by the record player in the living space, part of the little "monument" he and Kerry put together in their penthouse. When Vikt really misses him, though, he'll choose to hold them in his hands--after all, they're the last piece of him Vikt really has.

Another is an old, tattered photograph that he's had for as long as he can remember--despite not recalling just who is in it. 'Meta knowledge', it's a family photo: a teenage Victor, his mom, and his dad. They're all smiles, all so happy. Vikt's tried to toss it before, but something has always stopped him. He continues to keep it safe, tries to understand why it's so... sentimental.

4- Something they always carry with them.

Other than the essentials, Vikt always has a handful of actual cherry blossom petals on his person. They carry much value to him, having been snagged during he and Kerry's 'unofficial honeymoon' in Kyoto, Japan. They also act as a reminder of sorts--a reminder of his blossoming into the man he is today, much like a sakura tree after the roughest of winters.

Baldur's Gate 3 just sorta fizzles out wetly at the end there huh

[clownsnake]

I don’t think hyeonseong needed to remember dokja’s order to think about him if something goes wrong. I think he’s just always thinking abt dokja

and I love him for that

[incorrectinfinity]

I love the duality of Fami offering that Denji should eat food to feel better and Katana man saying fuck that this kid needs SEX

[cellamare]

firefly wedding is surprisingly good??

Do you have any neat sinesteo facts? I need them for a character I'm making :)

I'm not a huge sinestro fan, so I don't have too many? Sinestro is from Korugar! He's obsessed with keeping things orderly and he's very manipulative and egotistical. He used his GL powers to become a dictator on Korugar, until he was overthrown by a rebellion lead by Katma Tui. He was also assigned to be Hal's mentor when Hal was a baby GL.

One time he trapped guy gardner in a little bubble and hal's strategy was "if i punch him he will cry and run away" so hal punched him and sinestro cried and ran away. hope this helps!
