#am i good enough?

[ranger-rai]

...To Ranger Rai. How do you feel about Mega Evolution overall? I learned about it really young and focused my first journey on raising a Mega-capable Pokemon. Didn’t know about the health danger sustaining these transformations could cause if held for too long… It was just a cool temporary boost which relied on the trainer to young me. Searched for my own Keystone for several years, finding a few real mega stones along the way. Luckily the first Pokémon I managed to Mega Evolve was my faithful Ampharos. And he felt odd afterword.

I didn’t raise any Pokémon who grew more unstable for my team. Tyranitar, Salamence, Gyarados, Gengar. Knew that much at least. Hearing about that poor Scizor who melted to death broke most of my love for it—can hardly stand to look at the stones now.

I think Mega Evolution is an incredibly powerful symbol of a bond between trainer and Pokemon.

It can give a tremendous boost to power, but it only works well if the trainer and pokemon are in sync and have a truly great bond.

The major damage you hear about comes from trainers who attempt it far before they are ready for the physical and mental toll it can have.

Z-moves are another strong form of bond between trainers and their pokemon, however Mega Evolution does require a connection between the two.

I actually have a strong interest in it, but it's not like I have a reason to do it, but sometimes I do worry if I'm doing enough for my team to be able to use it.

Either way, I don't think it's something to be scared of, you just need to be responsible and strong enough to use it.

Really deepen your bond and then Mega Evolution will be like second nature

Rough morning, unshowered, post-"workout", belly, tits, and leg hair out, procrastinating being a human me staring at my reflection trying to understand how other people perceive me.

I’m feeling down today so I don’t think I’ll get any replies done.

[feralgoblin-art]

So. Many. Drafts. 😭

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria SUCKS!!

How do I overcome this?? Will I ever be able to regularly and comfortably post my art and thoughts?!!

*nervous chattering* And it took weeks to compose my pinned post! I’ll have to make more posts! And they’ll have to be perfect D: or no one will like them! I mean, I like my things and that’s all that matters right? No one else cares! No one else has to care!! But isn’t that the issue?? *nervous chattering worsens and persists*

Will this even get posted ? 😭😭 ugh!!

Am I the asshole for getting my best friend killed?

I swear to God, it was an accident.

My (27) BF (34) has a reputation for getting himself out of any jam you can imagine; and at first it was just a fun little thing the friend group noticed: there goes Oily J wiggling his way out of trouble again. but as the meme evolved in the group, it got to the point where we'd loykey started getting him into situations just to see how he'd get out of 'em, and he akept getting out of em. He was having fun with it too same as us. "Oh you guys," he'd say, "getting me into situations again," before laughing it off and getting out of it, so it was enrichment for our shared enclosures, and as time went on, the situations got more intense.

The trouble is, it turns out that putting a man in too many situations eventually gets the police interested. And not local hobsknockers cops either; they was like, proper three-letter FEDs. They put out a bounty on any information pertaining to his capture and everything. It was good money too so I thought, hey why don't I put J in another situation he can wiggle out of like always (and he'd wiggled outta worse before, so I thought this one'd be relatively mild), and at the next boardgame night (cause it was too late to do anything special for this one) we can buy some extra strong booze and get absolutely blitzed while having a giggle about the situation.

Boardgame night, and we were playing some social deduction nonsense or another and he says: "One of you is gonna betray me tonight." and I can't help but think, looking back on it, that he knew. It's stupid, I know he was talking about the game, but the way he said it, it was like he knew. We all felt it, and we had a big round robin round the table taking turns promising that we'd never betray him. And I said it so easily cause I thought it was true. Sure, I was gonna talk to the feds about a bounty; but, I fully expected my big beautiful oily boy to wiggle his way out of the trouble I was 'bout to cause, and that's not a betrayal. I wasn't lying. I didn't think I was lying.

My big beautiful oily boy didn't manage to wiggle his way out of it. They killed him and I got my blood money. He's gone.

He's gone and I'm devastated, crying, mourning. I loved him so much. We all did. And I can't stop thinking that it's my fault: that I'm the reason he's gone. and it is. and the guilt is eating me up inside. and I just need to talk to someone about it. So, I tell the rest of the group what happened in the group chat, hoping they'd understand that I didn't want this. I didn't want the government's blood money. It was supposed the be a prank. some joint enclosure enrichment. He was supposed to wiggle out of it like he always does... did, i mean.

They call me, among worse things, the asshole and kick me from the group chat. And, I know it's my fault he's dead: I know that. If I didn't do what I did, he wouldn't be dead right now. But, I didn't mean it for it to end up this way. He was supposed to be okay, damn it. I loved him. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

morning

So I finished orv

[turtleblogatlast]

Been thinking about how Donnie and Leo’s insecurities juxtapose each other.

Donnie is insecure about his place in the family, but confident in who he is outside of it.

Leo is secure about being a part of the family, but thinks he’s nothing outside of it.

I think it’s a very interesting comparison that reflects their respective personalities, Donnie’s “Will all I have to offer be enough?” versus Leo’s “Do I even have anything else to offer?”
