The Untamed - Episode 19
Throughout the night, he [Jiang Cheng] had somehow managed to sleep a couple of times. The first reason was that, having been too tired from crying himself weak, he couldn't help from passing out. The second reason was that he still had the hope that this might be a nightmare. He couldn't wait to wake up after some rest and open his eyes to find himself lying inside of his room back in Lotus Pier. His father would be wiping his sword in the main hall. His mother would be angry again and complaining, scolding Wei Wuxian who winked in a funny way. His sister would be in the kitchen, thinking as hard as she could about what to make today. His shidi would be refusing to do their morning lessons properly and jumping around.

ooh I see, in Pyramids of Mars pt2 the Doctor takes Sarah Jane to look at 1980 if they don't stop what happens in 1911, and it's an apocalyptic wasteland, so when you're watching the Beatles episode in 2024 you're supposed to go like "hey just like in Pyramids of Mars!" and then you're thinking about the exact right episode.
You know, if you already had watched all of Doctor Who before this year instead of say, hitting the current plot twist related episode today. :P

a misconception I see a lot- and have even believed myself! -is, "well, women in western history could only wear all those layers because there was no climate change!"
which is. not really the case, as far as I can tell?
obviously this varies from era to era, but I was looking into historical temperatures here in Boston from the earliest consistent records (1893) and I was surprised to see several 90+-degree days most summers throughout the 1890s (fahrenheit)
now, I am not at all a climate-change denier. extreme heat has been getting more likely and more frequent the world over- I'm fully aware that I'm posting this during what some scientists are calling the hottest July on record globally. that being said, the idea that our ancestors NEVER had to deal with the temperatures we're facing now is factually incorrect for many of the areas worldwide where the clothing we're talking about was worn (and most scientists aren't saying that, I know! this is a pop history commentary, not a scientific one)
the fact is that, in most of the western world, yes, our ancestors did wear That Clothing in These Temperatures. less often and for shorter periods of time, most years, but...it happened! and they found ways to deal!

I really really love your Zoroark AU!
The fandom has a lot AUs playing with Zoroark making the whole thing verrrry over saturated overall in my opinion. (also a lot of them kinda make me feel uncomfortable) Yours however really hits the right amount of wholesome to me without any feelings of being uncomfortable!
A question I have however is this: The Zoroark is growing fond of Ingo's company more and more. How would the Zoroark react to Ingo's possibility of returning home?
Thank you! Wah I’m glad you like my au!! I love zoroark aus so much because of all the potential there is for an amnesiac ingo to meet a pokemon that can make life like illusions sksks
As for zoroarks reaction: they would be sad of course but accepting, as they never had the expectation to have a friend, let alone keep the only one they had. That would be much to convenient and lucky to find company that lasts
They are lonely, yes, and would want Ingo to stay ,of course, but he knows that ingo has family, friends, that ‘man in white’ he always asks to see from him, to get back to. He would never think to keep ingo there
And so he says good bye, with a smile, and thank you, for keeping this old pokemon company.
And maybe, with outstretched hand, ingo looks at him - zoroark with no pack and no family, and, most importantly, a very good friend - and asks him to come along
