Actually, Guzman is his spanish name.
OH YEAH some other folks pointed that out too, makes sense since it's an irl Spanish name (probably why I see it around a lot!) 😳
(normally it's a surname, I've only seen it used as a first name once in a blue moon -- but also in the pokemon world it's pretty clear that naming conventions aren't the same lol)
#oceandi answers#radicalldreamer#still harder for me to connect it to him since I played all the games in english -- it's only one letter away but it still feels just a#smidge closer than 'bromley'#frankly I hope someone out there calls him 'bromley guzmán' as his full name. and he just GOES by 'guzma' bc it sounds cool#that'd be neat#tag rambling#rambling ahead ->#speaking of guzma I spent a long time talking about aus with some friends and well. I think his dad's from johto skdjfksjdfskjd#iirc that was a HC back in the day amongst a small group of guz enjoyers.... but I think it makes SO much sense for gene's guz specifical#ly bc listen . hear me out okay he somehow knew about the bug trainers' convention and he wanted to go and usu'ally they#hold it in JOHTO. he's never won a gold medal for BATTLE but got the dawn stone as his first ever victory -- guess what region you can#get a dawn stone from in a competition that's based on more than just battling? YEAH -- JOHTO BUG CATCHING CONTEST BABEYYY#(hgss edition)#TWO of his main team are johto pokemon#he moved from melemele island to ula'ula where malie city/garden are -- inspired by johto and even including a johto-style gym#(I mean yeah he STAYED bc po town had a sudden amount of free real estate but why did he GO THERE in the FIRST place to join the#proto-Team Skull.)#though ig if he hates his dad maybe his dad's Not from johto and is from paldea instead ('rents could've been inspired by the name guzmán#and just wanted to make it sound more unique lol)#but either way he totally used to go to johto with his dad which is where he won a bug catching contest with his pinsir.#and then started winning battles there but always getting second/third place in actual like. /competition/ competitions. so not#getting the grand prizes/money/stuff/fame that his dad wanted him to earn for the family#ANYWAYS.

#duskull#lest we forget that duskull only has one eye that just goes in the middle of their face and they move it around to get a view#so of course when ffp'd they're gonna look like a gyroid#gyroids scared me so much as a kid. not like the concept of them but remember in the original animal crossing when you didn't save#and resetti came out to yell at you or whatever. he would turn you into a gyroid#yeah. THAT scared me to DEATH. the way that it looked. every time it happened. but i was always kinda like… okay. if you can note down the#fact that i did not save. then that means you knew i played the game. and you knew i did it without saving. so why. did you not just#autosave for me. obvi animal crossing has autosave now and it's nice but it kinda puts resetti out of a job. except for like. rescues i gues#wow… resetti joined a rescue team… he's gonna save the world….#this is irrelevant. duskull! the guy who runs the bank in treasure town. trust *this* guy with your hard-earned money from that dungeon#in fairness to him he usually does take pretty good care of it. although him being an unevolved form of dusknoir made me not really trust#him very much when i first played pmdeos. aaaaanywaaaaayyy

okay but I watched a video today covering shth05 reloaded and,,, I've figured out that I truly like this game. even for how bad it is
#bee blabs#I've said this before but this time it's different#I LIKE the janky controls#I LIKE the difficulty#I like the necessity/encouragement to play it a billion times#I like the key collectibles#I really like how stupid and nonsensical and challenging and annoying it is#reloaded makes it easier for new players from what I've seen#but it makes me all the more determined to 100% this game on the vanilla vers.#like I'm one a rank away from earning expert mode#I'm one key off on a couple levels#I still have countless paths to go#I LOVE how u have to learn and adjust to shadow's move set#and I like that sometimes u (or shadow rather) can fuck up#I like that this game isn't perfect bc it continues to create an engaging experience for me#even tho it's buggy and dumb and repetitive#I love shadow 05 warts and all and I couldn't be more sincere#like ofc ik it's bad and a product of its time but I love it bc of that

The thing about my weird little brain is that sometimes, I have Media and Characters that I rotate for as long as I can - and then they rotate for a while and I need to give them a break. And then, when Another Character is being rotated the ones I haven’t thought about in a few months will come up begging for attention. And the thing is that as much as I want to start rotating them in my mind again, I HAVE to refuse because if I keep waiting, the Characters and the Media will be even juicier when I DO let myself obsess over them again. Do you get it? Am I the only one that does this? Idk but I find it fascinating
#I am experiencing this rn with the ones that FULLY ruled me two years ago#Which were supernatural and fnaf#Naturally the interests persisted after that but more because I kept introducing friends to them before I moved#Which while I’m glad I did I was not really invested then and I got a little tired of them#So now I’ve started seeing fnaf and supernatural posts again and it’s like an explosion goes off in my brain#(Like when supernatural played at work)#But a) I am fully invested in first of all the hunger games which is my main thing 24/7 rn#And the others like Castlevania#And I love supernatural and fnaf and want the return of those (and the fics that ensue) to be earned#So they are going to WAIT#Anyway this is a nice little glimpse into the wackass way my brain works#God what the fuck were you thinking when you created me#Also?? I’m 24??? And this is showing no signs of stopping????

WHAT KIND OF ART WOULD SOMEONE MAKE ABOUT YOU?

paintings
everything you do is a work of art. you are beautiful without even trying, simply lounging around looks like you’re posing and waiting for someone to sketch you. you come off as light and easy but you are often misunderstood. people don’t tend to see you for who you really are, and focus too much on how effortlessly you appear to navigate the world. there's some kind of darkness behind your eyes that only some can see under all the layers of paint.

#𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ‒ avita ║ DASH GAMES#oh this is actually spot on in a genuinely non-shallow way i love it#some.. results on this one do be iffy but this one slaps#she really does have an effortlessness elegance and gentility about her that is so so very hard-earned#and absolutely impossible to tell as much.#nor does she advertise that about herself tbh. 'hi i died and had to relearn to exist in an ill-fitting body' is a lvl 1000 friendship fact#but the assumption that she was born as 'perfect' as she's made herself appear is equal parts upper hand and underestimation#going from hardly able to navigate life itself to moving swiftly through the world is less a talent and more a journey#oh and yes. femininity/white/light/pale colors/beauty = / = goodness.

I love the fact that I can work as hard as I can manage with a broken tooth and a dying tooth (one on each side, I've been chewing on the cavity for a year) and I still cannot save even $10 towards getting dental treatment (2 impacted wisdom teeth, + tooth broken off under the gum, + bad cavity) because I barely make enough to cover my food and board and the insane energy bill
#I'm just ranting don't mind me it's fine I am continuing to exist as usual I may delete this later bc it's a bit of a bummer to read#I prefer to keep my blogging to fun or otherwise nonserious content because it's supposed to be for decompression no real world drama here#I got into a 3 hour body language study and earned $50 so I spent that as fun money on a couple games during the Steam sale just to#take a break from the constant cycle of getting paid and then immediately saying goodbye to all but about 15 cents#(well it was 1 game Slime Rancher 2 and then 2 expansion packs one for Planet Zoo and another for Cities Skylines long play hours mileage)#I've tried to budget to buy small things like a fan or a toothbrush maybe (mine is 8yrs old and doesn't charge sometimes) but NOPE#let alone stashing away over $2000 for the amount of treatment I need given tooth extractions are $200-$500 each#I use about $50 of groceries a week ($30 USD) sometimes up to $80 if I need to buy some extra toiletries or bonuses like ham/falafel/bread#our last quarterly power bill was $1900 FOR NO REASON even for a winter one#olessan oration#the work I have is HIT/mturk type work which pays amazingly well and I am so grateful because I can't work in a traditional environment due#my inability to sleep/wake on anyone else's schedule and need for engaging work but it also means each worker is basically a contract worke#picking their own hours which is VERY HARD to stick to for me since I may also have ADHD-i but that diagnosis also costs like $2000 in Aus#so I'm doing my best fucking lmao#I have a set minimum hours I want to keep up to and move to full time but I am so exhausted by the constant background noise of#the tooth problems that I burn out very quickly#like the tooth ache isn't that bad#the tooth is actively dying but the pain isn't unbearable it just shits me off at all times#it's bearable most of the time and doesn't affect my sleep unless the temp is cold or something#it's been bad this week tho so I've gone through almost all my ibuprofen managing it#the tooth that broke off broke off earlier in the year and the gum has mostly healed over and the dead root is concealed inside my gums now#that stopped being painful in mid 2021 but when it died it was pretty bad it did stop me sleeping for a couple weeks#Christmas 2021 involved me contemplating ripping the tooth out myself lmao#the nerve eventually died seemingly without an abscess#unless I DID have an abscess but that seems extremely unlikely because abscesses are SEVERE AND HORRIBLE AND LIFE THREATENING#sometimes I can feel the tooth ligament wiggling on its own or I like flex it by accident it's so weird bc the tooth is gone so#the ligament is still holding onto the root but with way less weight#anyway I am eating my mac n cheese n veg with the side that has the missing tooth because the cavity tooth has a big bruise along the gumli#gumline which may be from overzealous brushing (I fill the tooth will temporarily filling putty and it needs to be cleaned well when the#putty falls out)

🥊 Hickory?
Link to the ask game here! (Still open if anyone wants to send anything else in!)
🥊 - What does Hickory love to do? What do they hate to do?
I’m going to put this under a cut because it got long. Apparently I’m incapable of talking about Hickory a Normal Amount LOL /lh
Hickory loves farming, it’s both their job and their biggest hobby! Being an Alpha, they’re stronger than the average Pokémon too, so they’re well suited for this type of work!
Surprisingly, they didn’t like farming at first - they very much saw being sent to help on their uncle’s farm as a punishment, and did as much as they could to be unhelpful as possible. However, they eventually came around to the idea of being helpful, and it turned out to be very effective anger management for them? A lot of it was physically demanding, helped tire them out and not have that energy to lose their temper, but also a lot of the plants needed to be handled with care - there were a lot of mishaps at first, but Hickory eventually learnt how to be gentle with them, even when frustrated, a skill they’ve managed to apply in other situations!
Eventually they grew to love farming, taking genuine interest and passion in it! They usually grow herbs, spices and seeds like their uncle before them, but they occasionally branch out and attempt to grow other crops to satisfy their curiosity!
Other people are the bane of their existence however; if they could live on their farm in isolation, they absolutely would.
As a child, their issues with others mainly arose due to their temper, often starting arguments and lashing out at them, driving the other kids off and leaving them alone. However, even in the rare times they were calm, they wouldn’t interact with the other kids anyways. They wouldn’t approach them, and wouldn’t talk to the other children if they approached Hickory - it seemed like they genuinely preferred to be on their own to the adults, although part of it was they were likely too nervous to engage with the other children.
They did have one friend though, their younger cousin Clancy! However, that friendship was short-lived, as Hickory eventually physically lashed out and injured their younger cousin. Understandably enough, Hickory’s aunt and uncle did not want them around Clancy anymore, and refused to talk to Hickory’s parents too. As an adult, Hickory regrets what they did to their cousin and does want to apologise, but they have no way of getting in touch with him, and they don’t believe that he would appreciate them reaching out anyways.
They have grown to be a lot calmer as an adult, and know how to just walk away if someone is genuinely frustrating them, but people still remain a struggle for them - mainly due to their social anxiety that was masked by their anger issues as a child.
Despite many’s first impressions of Hickory being ‘scary’ (they are almost 9 feet tall, and very strong from farm work) they are actually quite timid, finding it almost impossible to start conversations, and struggling to hold them… This has led to them finding selling their crops to be their hardest part of their job, especially now their uncle has retired, and they can’t just let him deal with other people. Most of their regulars are merchants who are used to Hickory’s timidness and eccentricities, but also know their crops are good quality!
Unfortunately though, they don’t have any friends - Hickory doesn’t leave the farm often enough to make friends. However they do aim to visit their uncle once every month, making sure their crops will survive the couple of days they’re absent! They enjoy catching up with each other, although their uncle does worry about how much his nibling seems to isolate themself.
#yeah they. weren’t a good person as a kid. kept getting into fights. kept ignoring they were bigger and stronger than the other kids too#they’re VERY glad their uncle helped sort them out… some of the fights they would still have today but a lot of them they’re now ashamed of#they don’t like to think about who they would be if they hadn’t changed.#but onto lighter things: they do love farming! herbs spices and seeds are what they mainly sell but#they often try growing other stuff for fun! if it sells well it sells well. but if it doesn’t hickory still enjoyed attempting to grow it!#they share a lot of what they earn with their uncle too!! He had to retire early from injury and insisted on moving away so hickory wouldn’#have to take care of him. Jokes on him they visit and still attempt to take care of him (even though he really doesn’t need it LOL)#ask game#hickory (oc)

i work really hard to not compare myself to others but it’s so bizarre to me to see other people my age like. going out all the time or travelling or even just living on their own. what do you mean all your money goes to just your own living expenses & your own fun and you aren’t the financial backbone of your family. every time i take vacation days a coworker will ask me if i’m going somewhere and its like no lmfao do you think im made of money. i dont think about it much because it doesn’t really do anything but upset me but deep down im so resentful of every other young adult who doesn’t have to pay their parents bills and just gets to blow their money on whatever the fuck whenever the fuck
#my best friend lives at home but doesn’t pay rent or anything at all and he was talking about buying new games & joycons & stuff#and he just dropped like. a large amount of money on getting a new dog#(impulsively. literally the whole thing happened in 24 hours and he wasn’t thinking about getting a dog at all)#and like its not like i WANT him to not be able to spend his money how he wants#i’m just resentful. because i keep trying to budget for things i want or even a fucking car so i can actually go places without it taking#over an hour. and then something unexpected pops up that i need to cover#like ive used 175% of the money i’ve earned this year on household bills#my savings are in shambles because nobody could afford shit so i had to cover it#and like. im happy to do it i don’t want my family to be screwed. theyre good to me.#but i hate this. and listening to people talk about throwing away money or impulsively spending tons without needing to worry about being#able to keep the lights on or whatever … tests my patience a little#im so resentful of having to be the grownup all the fucking time. why does everyone else get to be fiscally irresponsible and i don’t#freewheeling bitextual#even just people moving out … like i could afford to move out and i WOULD be if it wouldn’t completely fuck over everyone else#‘oh you live with your parents? you must save a lot of money that way’ fuck you!!! fuck you!!!!!!!#see what did i say. this train of thought is bad for me <3

Girl help I really need to do the test tasks for a new job or else my life is gonna get very bad real soon, but all I want to do is draw ttrpg characters.
#majek says shit#ok so Im jobless since august but I had a safe amount saved to live a little too comfortably until about now#and now I have money left to live relatively normally until January and after that uhhhhh bad 0 money left#I got caught in a trap of “animators are always wanted in gamedev you'll find a job in 2 weeks” thing everyone seems to genuinely believe#turns out every studio on earth is looking for Seniors and Leads or 3D animators that turn out to be 3D generalists able to do everything#from concept to every kind of model optimised for games and texturing and rigging and mocap and keyframe stuff and vfx is also nice#and I'm like “hello am animator know how to make character move. i can give them skeleton but not necessarily if in 2D”#“have a few years of experience in gamedev but got fired just before the premiere of my one title that will list me as animator”#got fired along with many others because the publisher backed out and there was no money to keep most of the artists this close to launch#so far only two studios followed through with the recruitment. one makes casino games and asked me 3 questions through mail#they wanted to know why im looking for a job. have I heard about them before and how much I wanna earn. also added that my personality#should shine through my answers. sure xd. the other is a mocap studio and they want me to do a test. in software I last used 5 years ago#and its mocap which I dont like and know almost nothing about how to do it#and I WANNA DRAW. I made a disaster of a cleric to replace Cayden in the old party and Im itching to draw him properly#also there is secret satan and a whole queue of scenes from recent sessions#including the lase one when Cayden was possessed by an ancient wizard (?) for a few seconds and now has mild ptsd#there were such cool visuals there because he was connected to a tentacle that pierced the back of his neck and his eyes went black#and I had to fight the party from that moment. hit them once with a big fire damage spell and then passed a save. and then failed again#fortunately the party destroyed the artifact that did the posessing and it ended. but my boy simultaneously experienced some cosmic horror#beyond his comprehension. and kinda saw his own hands casting fire at his friends. all while he was fighting in his head with some tentacles#and being watched by first disembodied black eyes and then by a shadowy figure#now he has weird nightmares of more cosmic horror and gets uneasy if he looks at the night sky for too long ;o;#I also have a drawing of the party celebrating their promotion to captains and like 3-4 sketches and one other big scene#in which Cayden has a romantic tension moment with another character while casting prot from evil on them to save them from mind control#also I have a commission to finish that a friend paid for LAST NOVEMBER#but that mocap studio is waiting for this test for so long now I have to do it if its the last thing I do in my life

The more I think about this post, the more I think about how you could make a mini-RPG around it.
Dude you have to listen to this DnD podcast the party has an edgy mean lesbian AND a melodramatic twink AND a muscle mommy AND a joke character. And get this: it's not good.
#maybe a one page rpg?#or pbta?#earn Audience Approval Points to have a Dramatic Moment and actually move the plot along#sabotage other players by forcing them to Actually Play the Game#Fuck the DM#just Fuck ‘Em#take a baseball bat to their kneecaps#there is literally no benefit#do it because it’s the only thing that makes you Feel anymore
