#Mega Wham!

[chiclet-go-boom]

okay, i may be in trouble. in space. well, on a planet. but in space.

let me paint you a picture since i left my screenshots at home (not that i took any because i was kind of trying not to die, but… okay. hang on. i will sum up.)

i am down to maybe eight or so achievements to do on the current No Man's Sky expedition. one of which is "scan a creature with blood temperature higher than 60°c". do not ask how this creature survives, merely understand that it exists and you need to find one. that kind of temperature means finding a planet full of firebal… uh, firestorms and try not to die to Mega Hot Heat while you run down the wildlife to take a picture of it.

now up front i admit this - i tried to skip corners. i tried to go fast like a fool. i felt like at this point maybe i could cheat a little? you know - as a morning treat to go with my coffee. instead of actually doing the work of finding a planet that matched the criteria and hoping to get lucky, i hit up the internet for anybody that's already completed this step and got myself a nice, handy planetary address which i dialed in to the nice handy portal.

so i send my atoms to said new planet, coalescing in the middle of stranger buddy's base. i step outside and yup, heat waves the size of skyscrapers and a nice fat little firestorm going on. i sit out the worst of it in the base in my little redneck space suit, pop out when the ground is less likely to melt underneath me and start taking scans of every creature i can see. within a couple of minutes, wham, achievement reached. i beetle back to buddy's base to cool off.

this is where it goes so, so wrong. buddy has built a nice little base about 4 tiles x 8 tiles where one of the short ends is backed into a sheer cliff (he's built it out like a deck). inside this big empty space is a Base Teleporter that is currently flashing No Power. well, that's no good. I fly up to the roof and buddy has two generators and two solar panels sitting there technically collecting power, but NONE OF THEM are hooked up to the base itself. The juice, it is going nowhere. And its not like i have base edit rights to fix this, do i?

well, no problem! where the hell did my ship spawn in? i'll just take the long route of launching into space and hitting up the local station.

nope. my ship is currently marked as "behind" the base, the marker is pointing into the hill. so. fine. i run halfway around the hill, realize that There Is Too Much Heat To Be Walking In This Weather so i grab my terrain tool and just dig into the hill, heading up to the top where i assume my ship spawned in. since it didn't park itself nicely on the base roof but behind it, it's gotta be on the top of the cliffy-hill thing right on some nice flat bit.

i dig up to the top and pop out like some sort of kevlar covered gopher and… no ship. nada. nothing here but me and the heat. i run around, looking for the ship marker, digging into the ground where needed to cool off and finally triangulate the damned marker to be INSIDE the hill as best I can tell.

did… did my ship glitch into an underground cavern or something? because base building guy figured a sheer cliffside residence couldn't possibly be an issue for anybody? i run around a bit more and yeah, the marker is apparently pointing right down into the ground as its certainly not on top where it can be found.

i dig down where the marker is pointing and, of course, i hit the Thou Shalt Not Dig Here Unregistered Non-Base User warning. i can't dig at the marker, its technically inside the base privileges.

i go back back to base, did i miss some sort of cave opening underneath or a dug out launch base because buddy thought to get cute? nada.

okay, FINE. i duck outside again and go "summon my trusty ship, o vortex thing on my gear tool wheel!" and gear tool wheel echoes back "your ship has no fuel, o lord, and cannot come to you no matter how you wish for it."

i boggle. what do you mean 'out of launch fuel'? i just fueled it… like, six planets ago, oh hell.

so the ship is stuck somewhere in the hillside. the base has no working base teleporter. i cannot summon my ship. i'm on a landscape made of a slice of hell with tissue paper protection because this is an Expedition and that's all they give you.

so i think. jesus, what a pain this is turning out to be. okay. i can… uh. okay, i can run in a single direction until i get out of the base circumference, plop down my own base and… build a little structure, get some resources and build my own Base Teleporter? can i do that? no idea but it seems like a reasonable idea.

so i get as cool as i can in base, pick a moment that is not a firestorm outside and start booking it across the landscape, over mound, under dell.

NOW THE SENTINELS SHOW UP.

this entire time they've been nowhere but not only is this place a million degrees, apparently the sentinels are all Frenzied. amigo, me too. this heat, it would get to anybody.

so into the ground i go in a panic to lose the red jerk machines, punch into a cavern somehow that apparently has an entrance somewhere because THEY FOUND ME and now i'm fighting sentinels underground and trying not to trip over Hostile Flora as i needle them down with my little mining gun.

THEN i realize its THREE MINUTES before i have to leave for work. i break out in a cold sweat, dig another sideways tunnel that thankfully the little red assholes couldn't get into, i'm finally far enough way to build a little Save Point somehow and actually had the materials in my suit to do it, so now little adventurer me is hunkered in a tunnel crouched over a lonely save point on a world that is trying to eat me and all because i tried to cheat my way to an achievement point.

i hope to GOD when i log in tonight my ship is unglitched and sitting on top of me, i really do. i have learned my lesson! i'll do the rest of the long way 'round, i swear.

UT POKÉMON TEAMS

Alphys!!

1. Magnezone: An electric type Pokémon, it evolves when exposed to a strong magnetic/electrical field or a Thunder Stone. It is said that a team of scientists tried to make it evolve scientifically but failed. I wonder if Alphys was part of that team? This Pokémon is not only an electric type that uses electric attacks like Alphys, but it is also robotic-looking, a nod to Alphys's "greatest invention," Metatton.

2. Ampharos: Ampharos is theorized to be based on the phrase "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". It is an electric type Pokémon that has orbs on its body that shine with very bright light. In the past, it was used as a beacon to guide lost people to safety. When it Mega Evolves, it is based on a dragon, a reptilian creature that resembles Alphys's own scaly, yellow body (but with a little more fur). Overall, Ampharos greatly resembles Alphys in shape and colour scheme. It's sheep-like pre-evolutions could be a nod to Alphys's boss(es), Asgore (and, by extension, Toriel).

3. Ditto: Ditto is theorized to be a failed experiment in the Pokémon world. Some think it was meant to be a clone of Mew, much like Mewtwo, but ended up as a pile of goo because it's DNA was so unstable...sound familiar? Ditto could be a reference to Alphys's failed DT experiments, resulting in the gooey puddles called the Amalgamtes. On a happier note, Ditto's ability to hide its true identity by transforming could also be a reference to Alphys lying to Undyne and pretending to be someone cooler than she really is for fear of rejection (okay...so maybe it's not really a happy note). At least Ditto has on a happy face!

4. Sylveon: A cute Pokémon that looks like if Mew Mew from Mew Mew Kissy Cutie came to life and turned into a Pokémon. It's a magical girl's cat-dog-ribbon thing. Sylveon requires high friendship to evolve, meaning it would need to spend a lot of personal time with its trainer. I like to think Alphys had an Eevee that she thought would evolve into a Jolteon, but after spending a lot of time with it watching anime, it evolved into the perfect anime sugoi kawaii Pokémon. It is also a living Trans flag, and since Alphys basically keeps making trans people (Mettaton, Mad Mew Mew...herself honestly if we go by Toby's art book), it's the perfect Pokémon for her.

5. Garbodor: Alphys likes going to the dump. Besides comparing herself to garbage (to the point that she is thrown into a literal garbage can in the game), Alphys gets a lot of treasures from the dump in Waterfall (mostly anime). I think Alphys would have found this Pokémon while wandering the dump, probably as its pre-evolved form, Trubbish. Garbodor also looks like a mis-mashed mess of pieces and parts, kind of like the Amalgamates.

6. Tinkaton: Tinkaton may seem like an odd choice for Alphys, but hear me out. It's small, pink, and collects metal scraps to build weapons, kinda like how Alphys collects trash from the dump and metal scraps to invent things. Like Undyne, this Pokémon is incredibly strong despite not looking like it should be. Like Undyne, it's a walking anime trope. In this case, it's the common anime trope of "tiny girl with big hammer go WHAM." Its name also comes from "tinker", or "tinkerer", which is what Alphys is: someone who works with metal in the attempt to repair something/someone who attempts to repair something, usually with no effect."

The Legendary and Mythical I think go best with Alphys are Silvally and Deoxys

Silvally: Silvally is a Pokémon constructed purely using science. It was meant to be like Arceus, the God of Pokémon, but the experiment failed, resulting in Silvally. Silvally was locked away and kept a secret, but once released becomes a great ally (hence its name). This Pokémon is like the Amalgamates, but also like Flowey, who tried to become "God" by absorbing 6 Human SOULs (he was really channeling Sonic.exe with that one...). I imagine Silvally might have been a Pokémon created by Alphys around the same time as the Amalgamates in an attempt to create a Pokémon that could break the barrier, but like other experiments done by Alphys...it failed.

Deoxys: Deoxys is a Pokémon from space. It came to Earth on a meteor. Deoxys' real body is the stone in its chest. Who's to say Alphys couldn't have stumbled upon this Pokémon as a stone, buried underground after years and years? Maybe she found it as a formed Pokémon in the true lab, an experiment from the previous Royal Scientist? Who knows. But it sure does match Alphys's scientific theme and the shape-shifting forms of Mettaton and the Analgamates.

Also it's been 2 years since the last time I watched one so I kinda forgot but now watching again it makes it fascinating again the degree to which Two barely does any big speeches and wham lines, much less commonly than. All other Doctors tbh. Cuz up till now I was like well I guess it's partially a show development thing too like Three is v much the start of Dramatic Heroics and the speeches came along w that but nah One distributes poetry from his pockets like birdseeds. It's about two being Silly Goose but also I think again it's deepening his whole. Inconspicuous On Purpose thing. He's silly for real and also playing dumb at the same time because he makes speeches when he feels it's needed- when a young orphan is scared. When the timelords try and prosecute him for his ways. When things turn bad enough. He has wisdom. But he'd also often much rather influence people in other ways- with deeds and ideas and interactions, revelations- than tell them with words.

I'm also arguing with myself how much is it format based cuz he does have less Conceptual Scifi and Moral Dilemma eps, but also. Base Under Siege is very much not a format that inherently rules out Speeches and Moral Themes? Most other doctors would have put the Macra Terror morals much more clearly. But he doesn't carry a speech in that episode; he converses with Ben and gently, keeps nudging him towards freedom with a quiet kind air. He repeats to Polly not to obey and keep her spirit, but it's Conversation, he's not looking at the camera and trying to word it in a new and beautiful quotable way.

Enemy of the world also full of the doctor engaging mortality and philosophy! But again, besides "I will expose him, ruin him, something something, but I won't be his executor. No one has that right", most of what he does this serial he does through. That insane gun trust maneuver I posted when I watched it cuz. That's what I'm on doctor who for that's a MOVE Alright. That's trust. Creating it. Believing in it. Risking everything to interact with people and form their moral alliance on that. And then again, with "People spend so much time making nice things and then other people come along and break them"; most of his distaste to violence of both sides in the episode is Interactional, I won't do this. I don't like you. I doubt this and that. It's not Overdone but it's pointed. And then he holds a vase and says that and very much he's saying You All Destroy, What About Creating. When Do You Create. And like for real that's like verging on some legit commie stuff, "people spend so much time making nice things"... It's deep and delivered with casual, bumbling hobo good heartedness. And really his whole thing isn't preforming stupid it's preforming, Simple Niceness, isn't it. I have a specific Hebrew word for it but he's trying to be Just Some Guy not to get a mental one up on people! But because people listen to people. "Human beings are always in reach of other human beings"- that's what he says about putting the human factor in the daleks as a way to cause their de-dalek-ification, not they're domination.

Hey, Evil Of The Daleks is another episode where he's very much doing things by Interactivity.... I lost the thread of this post completely and went all over the place jxjvjsjsjft but I am rotating blorbo in my mind like a mega turbo centrifuge.

I'm not the one asked for a song, but for the Unikitty guy: Rave music. I suggest rave music.

Green Man- Rum and Black mix is my favorite rave song ever, but it fits the more "Desolate purple city" vibe which is decidedly NOT Unikitty! For her I'd suggest THE rave song of all time:

2 Unlimited- Get Ready for This

(I think it played in the Lego Movie with her there.)

I'd also suggest music that makes my synesthesia go absolutely HAYWIRE OFF THE WALLS. That being:

Pokemon's finest Palkia and Dialga Origin Form boss theme!

Also from pokemon: Any Frontier Brain theme, since they're super-mega bouncy! Their color is more green-yellow-blue and not BLINDING PINK PURPLE BLUE RED. RED. RED.

The Cure also has some honestly amazing colors but it's all goth music. I'm tryna find bouncy fun music!

Perfect System by Oingo Boingo!

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!

Chromatica by xXtha!

My Ordinary Life by The Living Tombstone!

Kreis- Komm ,Komm, naher!

And I'm outta music! Hope you like it :D

I appreciate your intentions anon but this makes me feel like my choice was extremely shitty and sorta bummed me out from the entire game 🥲

A Rude Awakening

A Rude Awakening Darkness. Exhausted Sleep. A sudden eruption sends people flying and screaming in shock, surprise, and pain. It’s here that Megahes wakes up, tumbling through the air just to come crashing down into a cot that had been next to his own. Stunned, the Goblin pushes himself up onto his hands just to catch the magnesium-like green glow of Fel Fire as a massive Infernal pulls itself up from the crater its landing created. The felslate head turns and rolls up into place only to become illuminated like a Jack’o’Lantern before it begins to bound forward towards another tent. The fuzziness comes to Mega’s mind as he stands, teetering for a moment as he acquires his bearings. A moment of vertigo mixed with Deja’vu as he grabbed his head before shaking it. Why did this feel so familiar? He looks about, eyes falling on Guards and Mages of all sorts and walks of life fighting in pockets to fight off Mana Eaters and Infernals both. Felslate bodies erupted like grenades and bombs showering the ground with their debris before others took their place. Other less successful groups begin to collapse as others try to band together before massive stone hands, fel fire, or wild hounds begin tearing through them. The smell of blood iron and hard sulfur fills the air, causing Mega to realize where he is. The Legion Invasion.

Confusion hit him and then panic. Did something happen? How did he end up here again? What was this? And here, just like last time, a Fel Hunter turned towards him after feasting on the fresh corpse of a once non-crushed mage. Bernard Pelzer, he had been the human who was bunking beside Mega originally. Kirin Tor mage… well, formerly, now. The Hunter hunches down, growling as it begins to crawl towards its intended gob-sized meal. Mana Stalks begin to twist and turn from the cords of ‘hair’ that hung from the back of its head as it prepared for whatever spell might have come from Mega in an effort to defend himself. Panic. He forgot how this felt, how all of this felt. Like reflex, he begins to channel up magic but in a quick effort, twists his intended target from the Hound to the ground below it. An accidental trick he learned from a tournament years back, ice and stone mixed erupt from the ground, slamming into its underside, giving Megahes time to take off running like a bat out of hell in an effort to escape. But… where to go? He could hear it behind him, chomping at his heels and growling as he’d dip or dive through bunks or various debris and that’s when he saw it, a group of Mages who weren’t only fighting back but were creating an effective barrier to keep the enemy at bay as they kept up portals for evacuation. Mega could hear his heart pounding in his ears at this point. How long had he been running? How far had he ran? His legs pumped so hard to the point that he couldn’t even feel his feet hitting the ground. He had to make it. He knew he’d make it. He’d done this before, he knew how this dream panned out.

Closer and closer, he jumps, reaching for the hand of another mage who held out his own in an effort to catch Mega and drag him into their Mage Circle. -WHAM- A force strikes Mega from the side, sending him flying away from the hand and group only to roll and tumble across hard-packed earth and debris. His vision spiraled and he struggled to understand what was going on before he could get himself straight, he was pounced on by the Fel-Hunter. His hands came up, fighting and grabbing hold of the creature's lower jaw and pushing up and away in an effort to keep it from coming down on him, ending everything. This wasn’t right! This isn’t how it happened! Mega’s skin went cold and time seemed to slow for both him and the abomination on top of him. Thick globs of spit fly about, coating Mega as thick bone-plated jaws snap inches away from his face just before Mana Stalks curl about and begin to eat away at his reserve and life force. He could feel himself weakening in slow time and the more he fought, the worse it got. Why was this happening? Thick claws curl and Mega feels his ribs snap and break, causing him to scream out in pain. With one last push, he shoves the Fel Hound as hard as he can into the air. Its body twists and before Mega can react the beast’s teeth and claws begin to tear into his torso once more. Megahes screams out, hands going to his chest and stomach as he sits up. Priests, exhausted from their effort. Medical equipment around the room. Sweat covered his body and that’s when he saw it. His hands clawed at the black, charred flesh around the edges. Where was the Lightforged Metal that was supposed to be over his heart and glowing with intent? Then it hit him. The ambush. Sanelastus attacked him, speaking about how sorry he was. How it had to be done and… No. Surely he was misremembering things. A thick black sentient-like ooze screeched and tried to come crawling out of his body as Sanelastus broke through the metal prison that was keeping The Defiler’s curse suppressed. In a blink, he watched as the Fel Beam bore into his chest and vaporized that -thing-. The shock finally drained from the revelation and nightmare. Adrenaline began to wear off and the pain came rushing back in full force. His vision began to darken and he fell back in bed. The priests came back to try to calm him with soothing healing magics too. Worse and worse, his vision continues to darken as he either begins to pass out or magical sleep starts to take him. Naturasu, Kuphu and Svella too? How bad were things really? No answers came, only sleep and the sound of an Infernal crashing into the ground beside of his bunk…

Music I Love: 1984

Careless Whisper- Wham!/George Michael  George Michael made the list a bunch of times. I love this song. 

Wake Me Up- Wham!/George Michael  This was the first time I had heard George Michael, when he was still with "Wham!". 

Super fun song and I'll still sing along with it if I hear it. 

Shout- Tears for Fears  Tears for Fears came out with several mega hits, and this one, a highly layered and complex song, was destined to be an anthem from the beginning. It drives and has you singing along. 

Pride (In the Name of Love) - U2  Another of U2's songs that I love. 

I'm on Fire- Bruce Springsteen  Again, Springsteen with the morally questionable lyrics, but irresistible song.   I posted a different video than the original, since the original is one of those story videos that has a minute and a half of whatever before the actual song starts. It was the early days of MTV and artists were gettin' experimental.

Smooth Operator- Sade  Despite the questionable lyric- coast to coast, LA to Chicago, this one has to be on the list. 

Maybe she meant the smooth operator flew from NY to LA then from LA to Chicago... I dunno. But even if she's terrible at geography, and I'm not saying she is... but IF that were to be the case.... I still love the song, so there. On the list it goes. 

I Can't Fight This Feeling- REO Speedwagon  I felt like I needed to include at least one REO song on the list and this one is my favorite, despite a lyric that drives me a little nuts: It's time to bring this ship into the shore, and throw away the oars, forever; 

I don't know, man.... I know shore and oars rhyme, but I feel like you don't row something as big as a ship with oars... unless you're an ancient Greek slave... or a Viking. Feels like it need another word, but I agree that boat doesn't roll of as well as ship. But aside from that, I really do love the song, and so it gets on the list. 

The Boys of Summer- Don Henley I almost missed this one, but this song is one of my favorites for capturing the mood of the lyrics. When I hear this song, it transports me to PCH in a convertible, on an indian summer day with the sun low over the water. I'll often refer to it when I'm thinking of great examples of music that captures the mood of the lyric.

reexplores th inlet grotto....o this cave has multipl exits! whre am i!!!

ok i rachd th lighthouse

OKAY god we are Trying with this E key. i have been encouraged to be a curious little thing.

how DID i beat you here, Arven? I dilly dallied so much!

....knew it. He really was raised by the dog.

...The lab looks dusty. Doesn't look like anyone's done anything here in years. The computers come to life, and Sada asks for help. But is this a recording? Or a direct mssage? I stg if she's secretly dead or something....

"the great Professor Sada's glorious research" don't lik the sound of that one bit. Need the scarlet book, huh? We've already been using that. An experience worth treasuring. Tmpting, but lady I am afraid the Great Crater is absolutely off limits for the Treasure Hunt. You got legs, and if you don't you got wheels. Maybe expend half an iota of effort on COMING TO FIND YOUR SON.

cybernetic security systems???

Ohh....Mabostiff got hurt down there....Arven has ben there. Arven I know you treasure Mabostiff but w have more to find. More to see. More to do and feel and love. I'm nto doing this for Sada. I'm using her as an excuse to see it all.

HE CALLED ME HIS FRIEND. yah, that's the spirit! We're gonna go down there and punch your mom in the face! Yeah! Lt's duke it out, but also I need to rifle through your mom's shit for clues.

MOnitors covered in data. Mystrious machine. ...Bed with "Maschiff" written on by a kid. Whiteboard mess of scribbles.

Occulture. Roaring Moon, primeval Salamence. Oh shit it aparently looks similar to what I can only assume is Mega Salamence. Flutter Mane, ghost pterosaur...misdreavus....

A fram with no photo. Picture books for kids, including one about sandwich. Heavy fridge door. Cooktop was used recently! Microwave was not. Sasonings ar expired. Sink hasn't ben usd, mirror is foggy. FUCK went outside I hope I can go back in okay ys good...okay i think I found verything

The cooktop and the empty frame stick out to me as the most important things. Time for a battle! ....PUPPY WANTS TO FIGHT ME I LOVE PUPPY

oh you always lost to nemona yeah she's kind of so much all the time. not a bad person in the least. whatever tho im fight you! not her! no matter how sh acts it's not cheating on her to battle other people

i love Arven so much. Hy! First time I've battled an opponent with a full team! ...th fuck is toedscruel made of??? wham wham wham. Come to see it, Arven also looks like the tera orb is a little hard to control.

you did pretty good Arven. Not good enough to have really stood a chance, but pretty good. And now Linny is evolving! W can switch out.

ohhh we need to recruit Nmona and Penny (who I bet is Cassiopeia) huh

tumblr cool your jets. Honstly I think Nmona would help if w just askd but you're right we probably need to earn Pnny's aid. Also my guy i hav champion rank skills by now. ven if it's not official.

yanks another stak from th earth. yanks anothr. FOUND ANOTHR. ooh Bramblberry th applin will join us.

okay maybe let's gt on with things....like dealing with Cassiopeia. Hi, Clive. I know that's not really your name. But I'm not a snitch. And I am always one for indulging dramatic reveals. Impressive hiding long pants under your shorts.

wait wha??? You're Cassiopeia? I don't buy it. ...No you're angling for a battle bfore the real big boss. You could have just asked, you know. Oh I forgot to swap Linny out. This bgm is far too pleasant to b the finale. Hammer off! Abomasnow's Wood Hammr vs Pebbles's Gigaton Hammer!

Man even Clavell has some trouble controlling the orb. maybe it's just Hard. Anyway Chank is volving, so I'll swap in som new Pokmon after the cutscene. There's no way in hell Clavell is really Cassiopeia.

No shit you're not. Yah....yeah I thought you were trying to spare me some pain. Just. Let me learn the truth.

??? Tyme?

right, so, you'r gonna handle that, right professor? WHile I go battle? Okay it's Gibl and Wingull next. But I gotta wait for nightfall. So, friendship! I have nothing for Riafort and Saguaro right now but ooooh hi Miriam! I look forward to your classes next year~

discovers a whol chunk of msagoza I didn't explore before, somehow...ther's nobody in tsi Every Which Way? Not ven the recip guy?

am on roof!

am also sleepy

okay good morning

i think it's nighttime in game by now, so I have a constellation to fight

yeah that's penny alright. It's okay swetie you hid your identity fine, I'm just genre savvy.

Huh, so you didn't decid to do Operation Starfall until that day...? Mayb the two mmbers talking about quotas and trying so hard to convinc you....mayb the outliers in th tam were what told you it had to nd....strayd too far from what you wanted. Team Star lived long enough to see itself become the villain, that's what you thought, right?

yes penny listn to the part of you that wants Team Star to live on!!! They'v been waiting for you! You could guide them back to what you want to be!

oh hey clive, I se you escapd Ms. Tyme

Penny....is just so scard of being hurt.... Penny they're your friends. You never ven met them in person but they treasure you so much they've waitd for you for eighteen months.

i know from experience that even just a year is a long fucking time to wait. it hurts. physically, it hurts. it tears you up.

Thank god the bosses still had one another, and their squads, because I know how hard that is and I genuinely do not think I would have survived without my important people.

anyway protct Penny protect Team Star

sorry penny don't mind me taking care of this wingull while I dal with you

this music is sick. thanks Giacomo!

she has entirely eeveelutions....but she can't hav all of them, I wonder what will be left out? and what will be her tera?

Her Leafeon is causing me the most problems thus far just because I have no effective counter to grass.

Penny struggles to control the orb too so I guss it's just hard?

somehow I feel like we have arrived at the only outcome nobody wanted.

wll. Humphry is evolving, so we can swap out for somthing....mayb somthing that handles Grass....though most of my options aren't gonna b a viabl lvel by the E4 huh? still I gotta think about my championship team and I know what I need. I need a ground type, dark typ, and something to handle grass. Oh, Gorp is evolving too. Gorp is Ground....might b worthwhil to kep on my team....

anyway tim to hurt

ow

Penny....

the bosses had better turn up right the fuck now to talk som snse into you

Penny.....who hurt you that you feel like you need to hide and scheme and tie everything up in operations? Can't you even trust your friends...?

fuck it I'm sharing my mom with you too

penny why ar you throwing your treasure away

awww clavell got her, at least

OH YES THEY ARE ALL HERE AREN'T THY

FRIENDSHIP, YOU DIPSHIT

jfc

clavell being a Good Adult and acknowldging how fucked up this whole situation is

HUG HER. HUG ALL OF THEM.

babies

i finally understand....Pnny's ben all twisted up with guilt, and has kpt hrself distant and alone all this time. Sh nver got to reallyse that Team Star was the best thing that ever happened to the others. There's a difference between hearing somthing said and knowing it with your heart.

All this time she was trying to carry everything herself whn the whole point was that she didn't need to be alone.

thy're all still in trouble.....community srvice huh. ...Star Training Cntrs!!! Oh my gosh....sir you're dressing a reward up as a punishment

Penny they love you and want you to be with them, why do you need my opinion.

does some tam planning before I continue. I will need to grind a bit.

kay Scoots is back on the team! And w also hav a Sandile.

awww the League is like "you know what Penny, you're a genius, so use your talents for good and we'll waive the problem"

also penny I am kidnapping you to go crater diving

god pnny is being praised that foreign to you...?

Starfall Street....complete!

now tim to grind....I wish autobattling didn't giv so much less exp

oh well grinding grinding grinding. yanks a stake.

huh, i found a cave with the elemental hyper beams. Holy shit, Wild Spiritomb! Nam you Jacks. Some Candy later, I hav a Krookodile and everyon's at least to endgame-ish levels.

Okay! To Msagoza!

We have a league to beat but first, time to see if this cav's any good. Is it a real victory road???

....litrally it's not even a cave, wow. th Pokemon up here are worth no exp. Child why are you attempting the League with just a level 14 Meowth. He has no badges. Literally what the fuck???

okay this cabbi is a bit better

this is probably th most underwhelming league leadup ever

I can probably at last take down on elit as I am and if it's too much of a struggle, I have rare candies and plenty of them

Geeta could honestly kill a man with that hair of hers.

oooh Rika is interviewing me!....this is a wirdass intrview. Oh, memory games.

"You passed the interview on your first try?" "What, like it's hard?" Nobody's done it since Nmona huh...

heeeeere goes. Oooh w're back to a specific order, eh? ha'ent done that with a real elite four since gen 4.

Other than Hassel, I'm not sure of anyn type specialties. Rika's gone with Whiscash, so we're probably looking at watr or ground. ...And it's ground! Gt out hre Daya. oooh water absorb, that's nasty....well all else being equal, I have a bird!

I do wonder if it's going to b actually back to back, or if i'll hav a chance to heal first. Oooh Poppy's nxt, and I think it might lgit be back to back to back?! OH NO i do get to heal up

also this arena is bland as fuck

oooh she deals in steel eh. easy peasy. Jupe sweeps. Oh my god the steel crown is just an axe.

....LARRY???

WHY IS LARRY HERE LET HIM REST

well jupe will sweep again and Daya has whatever Jupe doesn't deal with-- oh he's not pulling a gen 7 on me actually. Oh he's using Flying, so Jupe still sweeps.

oh okay an altaria merits Pebbles. lol okay some swapping shnanigans at the end....

Larry down! I hope I get neat glovs if I win this. Okay, Pebbles is all dressed up and ready to go!

I bet he uses dragon and if not dragon then rock because th rest of the E4 have used the Titans' typs. Either way, Pebbles is the answer. k yah it's dragon.

oh so geeta strong armed you all huh....is Paldea's league some kind of mafia?!

....wait. there was no final rival fight, and it's been a while...am i going to be fighting Nemona??? SOmehow? Like that maks better plot sense but verything seems to be Geeta....

okay yah it's Geeta.

it's fin if you can't hold back I'm a protagonist.

Espathra...and THIS is why I specifically got a dark type! Gogoat? And THAT'S why I grabbed Scoots! Kingambit? King, king...leeeet's stay in for now? Fire's gooooo oh Scoots is down. Un, when in doubt, Jupe? Kingambit down and Scoots back up! Avalugg...I have several things to deal with ice but lt's try Sotero. ...bad moves. Okay, Pebbles! Veluza, that's gonna b Cabrande territory. I hav her backd into a corner and sh has Glimmora... That sounds like th Rock/Poison type I caught earlier? Uhhh what is this thing... Let's use Daya so Daya can appear in this fight, let's Do This! Terastallize, signature move, annnd...oh my god Glimmora's tera hat is just the fucking. Olympus Colisseum.

oh holy shit. Tera STAB crit type advantage, that's uh, that's...every fucking damage modifier basically. No wonder I OHKO'd

Geeta you were mildly troublesome.

THERE'S Nemona! Yeah sure we can be best rivals or whatever now come do a crime with me. We're going crater-diving. Ah, you haven't changed a bit.

awww I'm her treasure. Nemona you realize that's a marriage proposal, right?

oh fuck hr speech there was really cute...Nemona you're actually pretty cool aren't you~ Let's go!

Lycanroc? No biggie, I have a little pink menace with a great big hammer. Orthworm is steel, I think, so get out here Jupe! Dudunsparce is normal, so yeah, Jupe, keep it up! Hee, here comes her own Pawmot, and THIS is why I brought a Ground type onto the team! Goodra? Aighty, let's get Pebbles back in here! Wait, that's five already? Aw well, okay Daya! Just like we did to Geeta!

Nemona didn't change a bit, she just became more of herself.

Now. Nemona. Crimes. Crater. First a little friendship. Thn picking up some fly points I never hit. Now! To Medali! To the Zero Gate!

damn it looks kinda beat up. Oh! New plotline! The Way Home!

Powr saving mode.... eeee Arvn and the girlsquad are going on an adventure~ God I feel so bad for Arven, it must hurtto get treatd like this in front of pople he hasn't trustd with everything...

Nemona, no. We are not going to battle the professor excitingly. We're going to beat her face in.

Oh man...this is SO cool. Are we all gonna ride Koraidon together?

That cutscene. That was everything to me. That was it, that was the essence of everything I seek, everything I long for, everything I dream of. That was the essence of why I always com back to Pokemon.

Koraidon doesn't wanna be here....buddy what happened? ...Oh shit we lost Nmona! How'd she fall off?! She was in the middle!

oh no she's fine

....somthing's off. Arven's reaction here, and his "probably" on identifying his mom earlier...

disable four locks in research stations on the way down. can do!

OH MY GO THEY'RE JUST GONNNA FOLLOW ME AROUND we're really i this together

holy shit the music

holy shit this PLACE. Is this supposd to give me Nier Automata vibes?

lmao my friends trying to compet over who's my bestest frind

i wondr what the fuck even made the crater....like. It's a cratr. Something made it, right?

WOO fighting shit! And Pnny being the straight man to our shenanigans. To the extent that she is either straight or a man, that is.

man vrything here looks so weathred

oh yah rsearch stations man NOTES. Stuff about the origin of the tera phenomenon! Ooh and a telportr.

awww my frinds are bcoming friends!

holy shit so much to explore

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

okay here's the second station

oh that is SO not a jigglypuff. Scram Tail! Jigglypuff, but Screamo!

okay base 2. once again Sada just kind of dropping eaves. Gonna give som plot? oooh ancient pokemon! ...Sada just. Has a time machine. Sh just, has one.

Wait so the ancient pokemon don't liv here naturally, sh just. Brings thm here? Then what the fuck is the cratr?

squints at this convrsation. ...the cost was catastrophic...

It is theoretically possible to travel to the past, but a human can't return to the present. Somehow I get the pictur that's involved with the catastrophic price.

i guess that's reasonable enough. Some conversations are important to have face to face. MOre specifically, within punching range.

Arven....your dialogue here.....

"Paradise will be ours to create" because THAT always ends well....unstable crystals, nrvous financial backers....

i am getting sleepy and also lost

see you in a few line breaks

screams i would like some time to myself. and some focus.

literally like three days later

cheesus christ i have no memory of this place. thre's a big rock with an item on top i can't reach bcause i can't ride koraidon.

something isn't adding up. If the ancint Pokemon were only brought here via time machine, whcih Sada only got working sometime in the last several years....why's there a picture of Great Tusk in the Scarlt Book, and what made the Great Cratr so dangerous?

man the crater goes deep.

...

watches Nemona, Arven, and Penny slowly fall off a cliff and disappear into the abyss?!?!?!?!?!?

found a cave....i have noooo idea how thoroughly i have xplored this bit of the crater...nother research station! eyyyy it's tusky boy. Penny is right that IS kind of a hug problem. Thing is they've been on the prowl for months, if Occulture is to be believed.

oh nemona this is why you're the muscle. Sada just, taking over for Arven.... Koraidon was the first pokemon retrieved from the past, huh...and, yp, confirming that it's the past form of Cyclizar.

...two specimens? why are we assuming they're family. that seems likely to end poorly. i doubt it WILL but like....it COULD. and even if they are family, like??? so were Lusamine and Lillie, look how THAT ended.

'I was expecting one new life to treasure' THAT MEANS ARVEN IT HAS TO

okay that tunnel is clearly the way forward so imma keep exploring here for a bit

hm. Okay. Intrsting history with Koraidon Arven has there, and yeah I see why he felt that way. ...wait. goddammit I ned like, a timeline of Arven's personal history, because who lived where when with whom is not adding up.

Tons of Chansey down here, it'll be great for grinding levels for the dex latr. ...Okay yah I definitely need to explore again when I hav Koraidon. Let's carry on!

WILD SCREAM TAIL I wanna catch it! ...Oh this thing is beefy. Okay just get in the ball, GOT IT alright Pita.

Man...what on earth made this place? "feels like maybe you already died and went somewhere" huh...and yeah Penny im p sure this place is the source of the energy used to terastallize Pokemon.

we must go deeper

...i guess you could say we're gonna get t the bottom of this! ...nmona, no. ...nmona. Nemona, NO. Penny is correct, as ever.

Okay if Sada took Koraidon into th cratr and hasn't com out since, how'd Arven get Koraidon's ball?

Th crystals get biggr the farther down we go...oh what fresh hell is this? What happened in here?

Sada???? U good???

So, I know the game's a bit buggy, but it looks like Sada is too? uhhhh

"That man walked out not long after the boy was born" im sorry? sorry WHOMST? Turo????

....if only. thre were two of me. sada YOU HAVE A TIM MACHINE.

th scond koraidon was broguht later and was aggressive...

"You know what you need to do." All locks released. I feel like I did a bad thing. Like I got tricked into reviving Dracula or instigating the Fall or something.

man do clavll and th othrs even know we're here

WEIRD MISDREAVUS. Flutter Mane....you'r gonna b Yooki. STAY IN TH DAMN BALL. GOT IT, finally, that took like 20 ultra balls.

Metal plate with a wird symbol, and a map of Paldea, and...thre's an enormous crystal here... you know, it would scan if th crystal crashing from space made the crater, I think?

I wonder if I can breed paradox Pokmon or if I'm gonna need to catch som mor the slow way?

what the fuck, ar thos VENTS in th crystal. What the fuck did th crystal absorb the lab?!

This is a much bigger area than thy're gonna let m explore isn't it...oh no wait. WAIT oh my.

Man it's not a Lost Continent plot so much as a Journy to the Center of the Earth plot

where am i

i find it kind of intriguing that Geeta's ace is th pokemon found in abundance all the way down here. Sorry to Arven, Nemona, and Penny, but if thy're gonna let me be the leader they're gonna have to run around, them's the rules.

chews on thoughts and questions and nihilego. glimmora. hmmmm

I am here I hav explord it is time to enter the Zero Lab. I get cell service down here? Sada you're presumably right insid you could come to the door and greet us.

okay the lab really is getting eaten by tera crystals but what is this about them optimizing the performance of machinery? If the tera orbs are made of these crystals why can pokemon centers recharge them?

well. that IS why we brought Nemona.

you dipshits. listen to penny. penny is wise. Oh, you're letting me choose? ...I guess if no is the wrong choice, the game will But Thou Must me. yep it did. but aww, Nmona that's sweet.

guuuuys this is baaaaad....OH SHIT THE OTHER ONE. Oh god it's been lockd outside the lab. Sada said the Pokemon insid would probably make a break for it, but instead, othr Koraidon went in....

they made mine sooooo expressive though like BABY im sorry I brought you here :c

THANK YOU PENNY ugh Nemonaaaaa why.

oh here the other ones come. YES DO IT NEMONA. Oh Scoots is a reliable partner now! Oh no, are Nemona and Penny running off to stop a breach?

oh no is Arvenn staying behind too!?

aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

okay this is a weirdass doorway. oooh dislike that the exit is a hole in the wall. Sciecne stuff....oooh there's sad....eactivating slep mode....

she keeps th aggro one in a mastrball. and sh is a robot. Not hard to see this coming after the trek down hre but....wow POkemon really making some bold moves here.

the real sada is dead...in the incident....ohhh boy. oh shit she sacrificed herself to protect MY koraidon.

Stop the time machin. Sure. That's a sane thing to ask a GODDAMN TWELVE YEAR OLD to do. We're going farther down but ma'am i have snooping to do.

i am going to sic my tinkaton on this mtal lady

Pokeball lock system to defend the lab. Rocklike thing in the tube. A picture of a young boy with a Maschiff...more rocks in tubes.

down w go.... Robosada can't lav because the crystals make her possible.

primal nergy? tera?

no SHIT they wreak havoc on the modern ecosystem!!! anyone with a basic understanding of ecology could have told you that! these things are invasive species of a magnitude ONLY surpassed by literal fucking aliens!

holy shit the robot copy of the profssor has BETTER thics than the professor maybe i don't need to sic my tinkaton on her

okay this place is gorgeous

oh this is why robosada needed th help of a formidible trainer. because i DO need to sic a tinkaton on hr.

To protect my treasure....to protect the whole of Paldea!

Why yes, AI Sada, I am familiar enough with a great many Pokmon to guess at patterns and detect weaknesses even in unfamiliar Pokemon. And yes, my human brain can overcom your wealth of data using two tools: innovation, and brute. fucking. force.

Had a lot of luck play out in defeating her third POkemon...next is Sandy Shocks so I think I want a ground type? aaaaaaaAAAAAAAA. Roaring Moon...I know that one! Oh, that was it? No terastallization?

okay AI down. Time for Feelings. god she really did love Arven, didn't she? She just loved her insane dream more.

oh damn that interface screw....oh shit. Our Pokeballs are locked, other than the ones rgistered to Sada's ID...which means this is designed to allow Sada and the protocol to brutally maul intruders who cannot fight back.

som intnse M.I.K.E. flashbacks ngl

But, thankfully....I have Koraidon. So does she. It? Koraidon, the guardian of paradise. Yeah...yeah, myKoraidon is!

oh DAMN transformation sequnce! We got this, Koraidon! Let's check out your summary bc this is SO cool. Uh, be great if I had the chance to fix this moveset. Hooboy that was close.

i knew I'd hav to trastallize....and I have a superffective tera type and all, plus this will be the first time I've ever used Tera Blast...

Victory is mine

oh...sh has to slfdestruct doesn't she....oh. No. She's going to disappear into the ancint world she loves so much. To unbind herself...and to stop the machin...

whre is the button to hug arven

arven this is your cheerup crew. FRIENDSHIP. holy fuck im almost taring up.

credits roll

Rewind: Steve Miller Band - Rock Love (1971)

Universally panned - these things tend to take on a life of their own - Steve Miller Band’s Rock Love has been unfairly maligned over the past half-century.

The one-side-live, one-side-studio LP released in 1971 captures a group in transition as its blues and psychedelic origins begin to fade in to the rear view and the radio-friendly pop-rock that would define its mega-success hugs the horizon. The title track, a studio cut, defines the latter.

“Rock Love” is a terrific, spiritually minded number foreshadowing the style that came to define Miller.

Sweet Jesus (yeah)/will see you through (yeah)/your trials (yeah)/tribulations too, Miller and his mates sing to a melody that would later be recycled into “Take the Money and Run.”

For Sound Bites’ money, it pales against the blues numbers, but shines alongside “Love Shock” and “Deliverance,” which, with their drum solos and directionless noodling, prove Miller either wasn’t wearing his tie-dyed glasses correctly or was eating the brown acid.

Rock Love - and the concert that spawned Side 1 - opens with one of Miller’s many personas taking the stage with the wham-bam “The Gangster’s Back.” It’s over in two minutes and leads into the slow-burning, 12-bar “Blues without Blame,” on which the Band’s titular leader has some fun with the woe-is-me genre as he sings:

I called my baby on the telephone/she said, ‘come on over, Stevie, I’m all alone’/I said, ‘I can’t get my car started, Mama’

Purists might scoff, but humor, and scathing guitar, helps. And while everyone else has been avoiding Rock Love since it landed, Sound Bites has been revisiting it with some regularity for the past 40 years or so.

The Pic-O-De Crop Competition was quite interesting. It may have even been a PELAU cause some of evating get pelt in the mix! We didn’t seem to have the mega fanfare with the restriction of props and dancers on stage but those with a creative team worked around the limitations. I Felt that most of the presentations were simple and effective. John Yarde’s Rendition of “I will remember you” was flawless and as a first timer he should be proud. Colin Spencer went full Mafia mode pon de people stage. Amara sounded like a female version of Spencer - good phrasing & rendition but boring performance. I really liked the twist to Doyenne’s “Love Affair” it was well penned and her vocal rendition was very good. Quon lick up de place with “Aminal Kingdom.” He has a bright future in calypso. Sammy was in fine form- she has improved tremendously and is coming into her own. Ranaan reminds me of his dad Cockroach he handled himself well and with time will be a force to be reckoned with. TC’s “Kaiso Reporter” was lyrically was one of the strongest of the night. Donella SANGGGG & was pure class as usual. De Annoncer had a D for everybody! Crystal’s ‘Crazy” probably went over a few heads but I loved it. Classic fought to retain his crown but I don’t think anyone will be able to defeat IWeb. The sound system in my humble opinion was HORRIBLE. Many of the Calypsonians seemed to be struggling to hear, the microphone was often muzzled and it was like the sound man fell asleep after every performance cause at the beginning of most of the artist’s performances the mic levels were almost inaudible then wham the levels turned up but guest what the mic still sounded muffled! Not sure who will win but Water Street Boys will take home the largest share of the winnings having written for many of the finalists. Note to song writers - topics must be developed, there were too many cliche approaches to topics which left songs lyrically weak. Some of the musical arrangements also needed refining. All in all I enjoyed the finals since I got to hang with my friends, talk nuff & laugh muh belly full. #thechasefiles #picodecropfinals #pelau #evatingpeltin #soundcompanyshouldapologise https://www.instagram.com/p/CgoFIjrAfbTIPdL4uJh7n_d36Z8wA7tDplX2pA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[drmadladofficial]

(Sorry for the questions. I just think your character’s neat)

NO PLS ALWAYS ASK ABOUT HIM!! (and sorry this was a mega late response I haven't been online for a bit) I looove it when ppl ask about him because I have unlimited info

ringy is a supa doopa outgoing guy!! so he ends up becoming friends with a lot of the villains,, the more strange and weird they are the more he'll love them!!

he has very close friendships with tb cuz they're both insane, wham because well. they both yell a lot JFHEJFS, and the learnerer because I Want Him To LOL

HE DOES HAVE A RIVALRY WITH LRW which is only cuz he's fashion crazy. weirdo freakazoid..

anyways no more rambling peace out 😨
