Your interpretation of Hector talking with Bauhauzzo post-game (if you can see that happening) would be neat!!

oh the horrors of knowing no one can fix the problem except for you

Mad Dogz Video Call gone wrong

I could not for the life of me find the source of the audio, so here is the video that inspired this instead!

reasons to never get into 3D modeling: once you reach a certain point in your model you'll literally be unable to focus on finishing the damn thing because it's complete enough to be able to rotate around like a bowl of pasta in the microwave, leaving your brain too enriched to try and do anything else

...so anyway. completely unrelated to what I just said. here's a gif of Soul spinning and going wheeee

i did this almost as quickly as humanly possible and my pen pressure is acting up because i need to replace the tip but i can never resist a good funpoison drawing. happy new year this is inspired by @spraypaintstainonawhitewall ‘s post here

I’m gonna be honest I’m excited for the stream tonight but I’m really not looking forward to the onslaught of billford content I’m gonna be seeing in my feed

not that anybody cares, but here are my brief thoughts on the update:

the idea is interesting, and i'm glad that none of the current effects are too expensive (the treasure effects are pretty affordable and the gem ones are still less expensive than most genes). i do find it a little frustrating that the majority are gem effects. as with any update it already has its bugs and little issues, hopefully those will get fixed soon. i am a little cautious about my interest in it because the animation aspect is pretty new for the site and, given that its brand new, its hard to imagine it being a normal thing that sticks around (and i, as a still relatively new player, am now wondering if this is how it felt for every other age old update thats now a perfectly normal part of the game)

on a more personal note im struggling to like it because i just dont like having a New Thing and having minor things, like the customization menu and the little "skin – scene" icons on a dragons page, change. i also cant help but wish they had done any of the myriad QoL updates and suggestions players have been throwing around for ages rather than something ive never seen anyone think of

I've felt myself driving slowly to insanity ever since I realized that all three of Cap's offensive moves are electric type. I get that this is an anime and so it doesn't play by the game rules exactly, but the fact that Cap has NO way to deal with types that have resistance or immunity to electricity is insane to me. Friede is supposed to be a genius professor, so how and why did he drop the ball THIS badly? (Especially since he didn't drop so badly with Char, albeit Steel Wing or Thunder Punch would be better fits than Dragon Claw given that Char doesn't get STAB with Dragon Claw either, and Steel Wing or Thunder Punch would both cover weaknesses.)

Having said that, I've tried to put together a better moveset for Cap. It is a bit challenging, considering his ability boosts his Special Attack, despite his signature move (Volt Tackle -> Rising Volt Tackle) requiring him to have a high Attack stat. Considering that the increase to his SpA would only matter when he tanks electric hits, I'm going to focus on a more physical build for him giving the necessity of keeping Volt Tackle, while also trying to give him better type coverage.

With that, my idea for a better Cap moveset is:

Volt Tackle — As mentioned, it's his signature move and he's required to keep it, because without it he can't use Rising Volt Tackle, and then what are we even doing here. So this one is a mandatory keep from his canon moveset.

Double Team — I'm also keeping Double Team, because he has used it to great effect in canon. Not to mention that increasing his evasion is also very helpful considering that I also want to give him . . .

Focus Punch — Focus Punch has a very high damage output (150) with the caveat that it will not work at all if the user is hit beforehand. But this works well for Cap, who has naturally high speed and knows Double Team to increase evasion. Using Double Team to throw off opponents before unleashing Focus Punch would work spectacularly. Additionally, Focus Punch would allow him to deal SE damage to Normal, Dark, Rock, Ice, and Steel, greatly increasing the number of opponents he's able to deal SE damage against. And while it doesn't do SE damage, it DOES hit Ground, which would give him a way to attack against a type he currently can't do any damage to at all.

Quick Attack — I know, I know, it's a basic choice. And to be honest, I'm torn between this and Feint, which is a little weaker but can get through Protect / Detect. Feint is a very special situation type of attack, however, while Quick Attack is more reliable, being both a little stronger and a priority move. Normal type moves are good for coverage as well (and this gives Cap something to use before the big finishers of Focus Punch or Volt Tackle), so I still think that it fits well here.

Obviously, Lightning Rod won't boost any of these attacks. If we wanted at least one attack that would be boosted, we could keep Thunderbolt instead of adding Quick Attack. But I really think that since Cap's signature move, the one we absolutely cannot get rid of, is a physical move, then we should focus on building his stats around that. In which case, Lightning Rod's utility is mainly going to be in doubles to draw electricity away from its partner (as seen when Friede and Spinel double battled).

We don't know Cap's nature for sure (do we ever learn the canonical natures of pokémon in the animated shows?), but if we look at his personality and try to decide on a nature from there, I would say that he does seem to have an Adamant nature, with the way he never gives up on things. This, too, would boost his Attack while actually lowering his Special Attack, which means that a physical build really is a better fit for him.

Lastly, I think it would behoove Cap to keep a Light Ball under his hat. Although the hat does get knocked off / thrown off a lot, so maybe he could wear it as a necklace instead. (Who am I kidding though, they don't even do mega stone accessories anymore . . . 😒 no way is Cap getting a necklace.) The Light Ball would increase his Attack further, truly making Cap into the sweeper that I feel he's destined to be.

Now, let me into the writers room so I can fix him, Horizons staff. I will do it for free, just please let me fix him.

ok so like. the next Itty Bitties update requires a bit of a perspective change. Which is very out of my comfort zone and ability to draw.

it's gonna look sooooo messy. and maybe not make much sense.

i'll try to make it as logical as possible but like. bear with me.

anywas have this fun out of context panel

[id : a digital drawing of a fae from flight rising, with the genes harlequin, flair, and runes in shades of black, grey, red, orange, and green with purple accents, giving it an autumnal vibe. she is wearing a pale yellow mask with orange markings, antlers, with white arm sleeves, scarf, and cape that resembles feathered wings, along with a lantern on the tip of her tail casting a reddish orange glow. she is laying on her belly with her wings held up, and her long neck is twisted around to rest her head on one of her talons, looking off to the side with a cheeky smile. end id]

bonus version w/o accessories bc i did NOT put in the effort of coloring her in only for half her body to be covered up

[id : the same image as above, but without her accessories on. the purple runes along the fae’s face, body, talons and tail are visible now, as are the leafy patterns on her wings. the shading has been removed, giving the image a flatter appearance. end id]

so i think one problem i have as a sylki stan is many people seem to see sylvie in the blanket scene as being the 'real' sylvie, letting out her inherent softness which i'm told would obviously blossom in some kind of settled domestic setting, but while i do enjoy that bit i mostly enjoy the mutual awkwardness about communicating ~feelings~ and i'm also kind of mentally hurrying them along to having a weirdly erotic swordfight over the fate of reality.
