Calling this "the electric kettle fucking broke so i got so mad i drew 20 characters while waiting for us to get a new kettle, until then we're boiling water in a pot" but since i'm queueing these the kettle should be here a week ago from posting this (update the new kettle is good. i can make tea 2-4 times a day now again!!!!!). In other news I'm posting these on twitter now too! tiny_evillious on twitter. cheers!
I wish we got scenes between Haruka and Majima because it's been proven Majima has a soft spot for kids and I crave getting to see that side of him... to see him act like an uncle.
But also I want to see Haruka bring up the fact he kidnapped her one time at any given opportunity while Majima just stands there like ...... :|
my red flag is traveling and telling myself "this place is nice, i think i should move here" instead of making amends and maturely talking to my peers about why their presence is making me hate where i currently live in
Okay genuine question. Am I the only one who thinks that giving shiny Pokémon an audio cue in Scarlet and Violet is a terrible idea?
The spawns in Scarvio don't work the same like they did in Legends Arceus. In Legends, wild Pokémon didn't directly despawn until the area was reloaded, and even if you were a distance away, you could go back and see the same Pokémon. But in Scarvio, they do directly despawn, and the wild Pokémon's data is erased once it's despawned.
Legends introduced audio cues for shiny Pokemon, and people genuinely really liked them, but that's because they worked with how the game worked Scarvio is a completely different setting.
Putting it into perspective, imagine how much of your hair you would pull out knowing that a shiny spawned but not knowing where it was, but more importantly, being kept on your toes about the possibility of it completely despawning cause you ran far enough for it to despawn. The possibility of the cue playing right as it despawn is also an issue cause Pokemon can spawn behind you, and you'd be completely unaware that it's already gone by the time it plays because you were either going too fast or it just happened to spawn close enough to the "boarder" for it to be able to run away. And you’re probably still frantically searching and Pokémon continue to respawn and give you false hope that it’s still existent.
And worst case scenario, Pokemon can spawn out of bounds. And these can even end up shiny like regular Pokémon. Imagine the frustration of knowing it's there but not thinking to see if it's somehow ended up out of bounds, especially for the new player who isn't aware that this is an occurrence in the games. Imagine running around for a while trying to find it but deciding you've failed it when it was right there still ripe for the picking, just completely out of bounds and therefore unnoticeable.
anyways. Listen Game Freak. Just make them continuously sparkle in the over world. If you don't wanna change the way your game is played just make it accessible with continuous sparkles. This is by far the most accessible accommodation for everyone anyway. Those who might be visually impaired can instantly identify the shiny Pokémon from everything else. Also, this should be a setting that can be toggled for those who may desire it.
To be honest, I actually really enjoy the surprise of seeing a shiny Pokémon out of nowhere. I like not knowing if failed a shiny! I like to stay ignorant if I've failed a shiny! Who's to say it ever existed if nobody saw the shiny? But not everybody likes that experience. Like I said, overworld sparkles should be something you can toggle on and off, but also should be on by default.
anyways thank you for coming to my teddiursatalk I think should go to bed

this one was short because we’re bringing mama Rio in the next part
The next thing you notice about miles is he is NOTT a good texter.
nonetheless, you work with him, trying your best to pick a day where your schedules to meet up.
“Dont worry about it, mami. Just be cute when I get there.” Miles’ voice rings out through the phone as you look for an outfit. You can hear the clicking of his game controller through the phone.
Its 12:00pm right now, Miles was coming to you meet you at 1:30
“Mkay.” You mumbled, putting different shirts up to your chest in the mirror.
“Ill see you when you get here.” You say, looking at the phone.
“nos vemos pronto, hermosa.” He says, hanging up the phone.
you take extra care while getting ready. You were not quite sure if this was a date, but spending the day with Miles still had your stomach in a twist.
You close the clasp on your necklace just as your phone dings with a text from miles.
You grab your bag, jogging through your apartment to the front door.
Miles bares a little smile when your eyes meet his.
“You look nice, ma” He says, stepping aside so you can lock the door behind yourself.
“Youre not too bad yourself.” You smile,
Miles leads you away from your apartment building and down the block. Its mildly warm outside, and the sun is out.
As you walk to begin to notice Miles’ hand continuously brushing yours. Then slowly his fingers crawl into your palm until your hands are clasped together.
You look over at miles, who is exaggeratedly looking at the sky and pretending to whistle with a goofy smile.
You giggle, holding his hand tightly.
You didnt even know Miles had a sense of humor.
“You feelin’ icecream?” He asks suddenly, pointing to an icecream spot on the strip.
“Always.” You reply, letting him lead you inside.
The place is cute, summer beach themed, and empty momentarily.
Miles smirks down at you as you browse all the flavors in the display case.
“What are you gonna get?” You ask, not looking away from the glass.
“Vanilla.” Miles’ answer is quick.
“What? Thats so borninggg.” You say.
“I havent really gotten into crazy flavors.” He shrugs.
You shake your head.
“Pick a flavor for me then.”
You look back at him, then at the case again.
You choose brownie for yourself, and cookies and cream for Miles.
And as soon as the woman behind the counter hands you the cones, Miles is at the counter, paying for the both of you before you can protest.
The two of you find a bench down the block to sit at afterwards, enjoying your ice creams peacefully.
“You like it?” You ask, gesturing to his icecream.
“Mhm, its real sweet.” He says
“Wanna try?” He extends his cone towards you.
You shyly take a lick from his ice cream, savoring the flavor thoughtfully.
“Its good.” You smile.
“Wanna try mine?” Miles doesn’t think too hard about it, pulling in a bit of yours with his lips.
His face scrunchs up for a moment.
“Yours is MAD sweet.” He says.
“You dont like sweet things?” You ask, turning to face him on the bench.
“I like you.” He says suddenly.
“But nah, im not huge on sweets.” He goes back to eating his ice cream
The two of you go to a park afterwards, spending the day outside.
Youre still there just as the sun begins to set.
“Its gonna be dark soon.” You say, staring up at the sky with your head in Miles’s lap. He was seated upright on the grass, you laid against him.
“Imma walk you home, ma.” Miles says, looking down at you, while you watch the sky.
“Gonna make sure there arent any more men following me?” You joke.
“That shit wont happen again, not while Ive got you.”
And he means it.
He keeps his hand in yours on the walk home, rubbing the back of your hand with his thumb.
When the two of you reach your door, hes giving you a pretty smile.
“Be careful, okay?” Miles’ eyes widen as you press a small kiss to his cheek.
“Im always careful.” He says, pressing his hand to his cheek
you give him a flat stare.
“Aight aight, not always. Mi mal, hermosa.”
You shake your head, wishing him goodbye with a warm smile.
