We as a society do not mime enough. Feeling Big Sad? Hang yourself with some invisible rope. Feeling trapped? Pretend you're stuck in a box and struggle to let yourself out. Who put 10 locks on this invisible door? An asshole that's who.

Like I just spent the last 10 minutes miming my struggle to reload a gun and my depression is significantly more manageable.

Miming is where the serotonin is hiding

Are you trying to give your OCs something to wear but feel that all you do has no style? Have you scoured the internet for clothing design tutorials and still cant come up with anything you like? Many years ago, I had this problem. I now know that while I knew the basics of clothing design, I did not know how to IMPLEMENT them because I had zero fashion vocabulary! I finally solved this by creating........

My clothing design inspiration board! It has a bunch of different types of clothes, accessories, patterns, and the like!

As a bonus, below the read more are some clothing/costume design advice primarily for character design purposes!

These are (sorta) recreations of notes—made for the general ideas section—which are currently impossible to find (though the advice below has more thoughts.) never mind guys i found them so now this post is gonna be a bit disjointed cause im just gonna slap in any unique advice from there. on top of the fact this has been sitting in my drafts for 3 thousand years. so, if this is hard to understand tell me and i will make a new version with a more unified and serious writing style.

first two-and-a-half advice were written yesterday who knows how long ago on pinterest, thats why they sound so informal. actually the whole post is so informal wow

Varied wardrobe:

[Title: Varied wardrobe]. If you have the time, give your characters different outfits! That can tell us so much more! (Not part of OG notes, but giving OCs different outfits for different situations can reveal stuff about different sides or layers of their personalities/headspaces! You can also just give them a wardrobe of different clothes. Either way, you can have different outfits have similar silhouettes and/or shapes, or have them be completely different, which could be used for a purpose like what I talked about above.)

Layers:

[Title: Layers]. Layers........... layeersssss....... yes.......... uhhh, yea I love layers (this is def not what i sounded like in the OG note) So layers! They make your outfits more interesting! They're really cool and, in my opinion, they make outfits feel more real. Also they give you an excuse to go crazy go stupid with clothing designs hahahahahaha brb im gonna go put 5 shirts on my OC plus 50 scarves and 2 hats (DEF not what I said in the OG notes its been a while and i have a lot more thoughts about this now)

ok and some thoughts from the original notes: Layering can tell us a lot about your character. You can even merge different clothing items! Think about it: short sleeves on long sleeves can make for a unique touch on an otherwise boring shirt. Go ham on the combinations!

Research (this one's important):

[Title: Research (this one's important)]. Research is cool! Look at all those buttons [, click: here: for link], no wonder there was a button shortage. Also obviously you have to research stuff before writing about another culture otherwise its gonna be some inaccurate crap. a well researched portrayal will be way more interesting and research (at least for me) can be rewarding in general. But you can also do research on time periods, jobs, and more! Research can be intimidating, but sometimes, you just gotta do it. And as I said about well-researched portrayals being more interesting, researching can give you ideas you would've never thought about [, click: here: for link to source]. Told ya research makes stuff more interesting. (really realizing these are more than just recaps, wow. im even citing crap.) So yeah, research is important for many aspects of storytelling, including costuming, and even if it's scary, your future self will thank you.

Imagery:

[Title: Imagery]. This is where you unleash your inner English teacher. You slap some object's shape, pattern, image, etc. somewhere to represent something. It could represent some deep-seated secret of the character, but it doesn't even have to be deep. It may just be a simple reference to a personality trait. Where you put the symbolism can also mean different things, like for example, hearts on a character are usually positive symbolism, but a heart on the sole of a shoe can, if you so desire, mean the character crushes others dreams.

Clothing variations:

[Title: Clothing variations]. Just look at this [, click: here: for link to an image of variations of vests]. Details. You can change them. All the details. Play around with them. Go even further, change the details no one notices. Have you ever seen a denim shirt? No? Make it happen. Make all those weird things happen. Yeah, that's it really.

Details:

[Title: Details]. (literally just copy-pasting the original note apart from maybe one awkward word replaced) Simple details like buttons, hemlines, lace or pleats can make your outfit feel all the more real. The possibilities are endless for such small add-ons.

Don't limit yourself to one type of anything, it's why I made this board! (Other than my own lack of ideas.) For example, learning to draw pockets is cool and all, but are you sure that's all you can do? I have a whole section for them!

So yeah that's it. I am tired and this post is very disjointed.

[britt-kageryuu]

A stream is started with Leo and Donnie. The game on the title screen for 'Untitled Goose Game' their models are on the beach set on their inflatable chairs, and in their onesies with matching slippers. River and Shelldon are playing around in the background.

Leo looked very excited, and Donnie was very amused.

"Okay, Dee talked me into playing this. I only know a couple of things about this game from Memes. So this should be fun." Leo says happily. He's not paying attention to Donnie as he reads off a notification that went off.

Donnie does something real quick and his Model is replaced with a goose with a purple bandana around the base of its neck, and Donnies goggles on its head. Then is switched back to his Onesie wearing Model.

"Okay, Blue let's begin!" Donnie instructs. Leo hits single player, chose a save, and was confused with just a clearing with •press Y to honk•

"Press Y to-" Leo cuts himself off, while pressing the bottom when the goose honk sound, and the Goose popping out of the bush. "Honk... I knew I was playing as a goose, but that was a surprise!" Donnie is trying not to laugh.

Leo continues with the 'tutorial area' messing with the controls, running around honking and flapping his wings.

~~~~~~ a few honks later

Leo was attempting the 'have a picnic' task.

"Would this gardener stop taking the radio I'm trying to steal!!"

Donnie just watches him struggle.

"Dee. Help!"

He just hits a button that swapped his model to the goose and played the 'honk' sound effect.

~~~~~~~a few waddles and a half dozen knocked over gardeners later

Leo was just watching the shop lady, trying to figure out how to go about the 'go shopping' task after failing a few times.

He turns to Donnie who just presses the goose button again.

Leo sighs, and tries to grab an item without the lady just taking everything again!

"Where is the stupid toothbrush? That's the only thing I can't find!"

~~~~~~~~a knocked over trashcan later

"So I now have to annoy these two people?"

"Yes."

"Will you at least tell me how I'm supposed to wash the clothes?"

"Pond."

"Pond?"

Dee presses the 'HONK' button.

"Okay then!"

~~~~~~~~~stole the other slipper... finally

"Why was taking both slippers from the guy the hardest thing for the area?"

"Probably because you insisted to keep the ribbon on the entire time."

"Hey, I found that blue ribbon, and learned how to get the lady to put it on my goose. I deserve to have my blue ribbon!!"

~~~~~~~~~~

After finding a way to keep his blue ribbon on and into the pub area Leo pauses the game. "Before we get through the pub area, we're gonna take a short break to get some food. So see you in a few minutes!"

"I agree, this is taking a bit longer than we thought, but enjoy the animation loop that will show off fanart you've sent us. Switch to BRB!" Donnie announces!

Chat is left to swap clips they took during the whole thing, and some 'shouting' when their art showed up in the loop.

--------------

Masterpost

Thank you @wren-idkfeather for the idea.

And fun fact I literally just bought the game, and this is partially just Leo saying what I was thinking for up until the pub. When I took a break for lunch.

george does your daughters hair II 🪴

george x black reader

word count: ~760

warnings: swearing 

request: that george fic got me thinking, what if one day he’s doing the readers daughters hair and she asks him to put beads in it but like obviously he can’t tell the difference between the colors so it ends up being tacky asf but reader doesn’t have the heart to tell him because he’s so proud of himself 😭👖-

pt. 1!! george does your daughters hair

a/n im buying beads for my braids brb  

“All done!” George says proudly as he finishes off the last braid. You glance up from your laptop to check out the hairstyle he’s done on your daughter's hair. 

Ever since you taught him how to do it, he’s been watching tutorials and practicing non-stop. He’s actually better than you but you’ll never admit it. 

“Yay! Do you like it, hun?” You ask your daughter. She nods her head rapidly before standing up and darting off. “Oh, I'll take that as a yes.”

George flops back on the couch with an exhausted sigh. “Whew, that's a lot of work.” “Yeah, I'm glad she wanted you to take over. My fingers needed the break.”

Your daughter then returns, plopping a box on George's lap. “Can you add these?” She flips open the lid revealing the wide selection of colored beads inside. Recently George tackled learning about the different accessories that can go into hair and mastered beads quite quickly. He practiced on a section of your hair one night, and the following day you woke up with the ends of each of your braids stacked with blue and white beads. 

You look at the time and realize that everyone has to leave in about 30 minutes if you want to be on time for your daughter's school concert. It's the annual spring one where kids stand on stage and sing off-key for an hour while looking ridiculously adorable. “Oh shoot, we have to leave soon. I'm gonna take a quick shower- you got this?” 

“Yeah yeah, I got it,” George says, shooing you away. You give him a quick kiss before hopping up and rushing off to the shower.

George stares down at the box and tries to identify the different colors, quickly finding his favorite color, blue, and another that seems to be purple. 

“Can I have yellow, green, and pink, please?” She asks, pointing to each color in the box. “Like a flower!”

George lets out a little laugh; of course, she would choose the three colors he can hardly tell apart. “Sure!” He decides not to stress about it too much and reaches for the pink bead, stringing it through her braid before reaching for the next color.

Unlike when George did it on you, he had the luxury to ask every few minutes if he had chosen the right color, but now that he’s on a time crunch he can’t be too picky and has to trust his gut.

George focuses intently on his task, his fingers working quickly to string each bead in before you return from your shower and herd everyone out of the house. 

“Is it done?” Your daughter asks with a huff as she reaches to feel around for any parts he hasn't finished.

“I am all...done!” George slips on the last bead and adds the rubber band. 

“You two ready?!” You shout, dashing out of the room, hopping on one foot as you try to slip on your shoe. You notice your daughter's hair and stop, taking a moment to process what you’re seeing. 

The ends of her braids are stacked with varying colors of pink, yellow, green, light blue, and purple. One braid has four green beads and a single yellow one, while another is an assortment of all five of the colors.  

“Do you like it?” George asks you as he runs his fingers along his handy work.

“I-” You have no clue what to say. It's not seriously terrible, and it is slightly your fault for leaving your colorblind boyfriend with a multicolored box of beads, but...can you really send your daughter to a school concert when her hair looks like a confetti popper? 

“Don’t you like it, Mum?” Your daughter asks as she does a little spin, giggling happily at her new hairstyle. You can tell she doesn't care how it looks; anytime George does her hair, she’ll refuse to take it out unless he’s the one redoing it. 

You look to George, and your heart almost melts at the look of pride on his face. You would feel like a monster if you had to ruin that, so just for tonight, you decide to say “fuck it” and go with the flow.

“It looks great!” You finally say, “Come on, let's go. We’re already late!” 

“Let's go!” George exclaims, swooping her up and carrying her out the front door. Their squeals of laughter and excitement make up for the tacky ass hairstyle your daughter is about to stand in front of an audience with - not by a whole lot, but a little.

Sewing TikTok Is Social Media’s Own Project Runway

The public’s interest in fashion’s behind-the-scenes process has long been a pillar of reality entertainment. It’s what shows like Project Runway and Making The Cut owe their success to. Now, as fashion communities grow on TikTok, people are using the app to showcase their own kind of reality show via short videos, diving into sewing challenges worthy of a Tim Gunn compliment. 

These videos are streaming via the hashtag #SewingTikTok, which has garnered over 725 million views thanks to creators like thrift-flip expert Andriaa Hall and designers John Azzi and Susy Guerreros. More recently, following the boom of archive fashion on the app, creators are DIY-ing their versions of vintage luxury pieces and even couture gowns with small budgets (typical comments express both awe and shock by the fact that a Chanel lookalike could be made for less than £100.) 

This community first saw viral success last year, when a JW Anderson crochet cardigan started trending on TikTok after a paparazzi image of Harry Styles made the rounds. Soon afterward, multiple creators began sharing their attempts at making their own versions with the hashtag #HarryStylesCardigan, which now has over 80 million views. The phenomenon reached the designer Jonathan Anderson himself, who not only showed support for the dupes, but released the cardigan’s official pattern for creators to replicate it. The brand even filmed a video tutorial with the help of senior knitwear designer Janni Vepsäläinen. According to Vepsäläinen, the cardigan reached astronomic success because anyone who learns how to make its basic stitches can recreate it at home.  

Creator and model Maddie White,  a self-taught sewer, is one of #SewingTikTok’s main stars. She first joined the app in February 2021 after her modeling gigs slowed down during the pandemic, and has since gained nearly 400,000 followers. Her formula is simple: She finds outfits and aesthetics she wants to emulate with her own designs, and shows the process behind remaking them on a tight budget and deadline. 

At 6.3 million views, her most-watched sewing video yet features her take on a 1992 Chanel haute couture black dress with gold chains, which Lily Rose-Depp wore to the 2019 Met Gala. White made her own mini version in 14 hours for $50 (£36) – the most expensive part of the garment were gold chains from Michael’s that cost $30 (£21). Some of her other notable takes on iconic looks include a glittery butterfly Versace dress worn by Cher and Dua Lipa, a black Cult Gaia flower cut-out top worn by Ariana Grande, and a mini version of the Jean Paul Gaultier white couture gown worn by Bella Hadid at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

While White feels like she’s a rookie, she’s mastering patterns and techniques that challenge even experienced designers. To her audience, she’s a pro. Since she first went viral, White has received requests on a daily basis from people interested in getting a custom-made piece. But White refuses to take orders: “I can do it for myself, but not for other people.”

Other creators on #SewingTikTok are betting the platform will boost their own businesses. Recently, designer Simone Sullivan went viral on the app after she recreated a piece she couldn’t afford: an Alexander McQueen cropped corset top with ruffled sleeves that came with a hefty price tag of almost $2,000 (£1,464). She documented her process of creating a dupe — from patternmaking to final zip-up — on TikTok. “I quickly noticed people were really into this,” she said of her behind-the-scenes footage. While Sullivan, 27, had been sharing her design and sewing process on the app for months, this video was her first to go viral, generating over 700,000 views in less than a month. 

The designer also creates videos that show how she recreates luxury pieces. Earlier this month, when she saw stylist Amanda Murray wearing a JW Anderson pom-pom camisole dress, Sullivan couldn’t stop thinking about it. But when she found out the dress was already sold out, Sullivan decided to make a version of it herself. First, she found a similar fabric and made the pattern based on a dress she already owned. She later decided to make it with just one shoulder strap and figured that, if she was going to go through the trouble of making herself this dress, she’d want it to be reversible. For the pom poms, she bought a tool to make them at home. The result? A Sullivan-approved version of the JW Anderson dress that she made to fit not only her budget, but her needs as a working designer who treasures the versatility of two dresses in one garment.

Another DESIGNER DUPE DIY! (No I will not be making this for anyone) #diy #designer #blackdesigner #doubleknit #fashion #hankerchief #seamstress

Sullivan doesn’t just create videos of luxury dupes. She also walks her audience through the process of developing her own designs, which hold an aesthetic Sullivan describes as “Miami meets New York,” from fabric shopping and sketching to sewing and final stitches. Thanks to the success of her luxury dupe videos, Sullivan says some clients have knocked on her virtual door to get custom-made pieces from her brand.  

With her content, Sullivan hopes that people are inspired to take to sewing themselves. “In this pandemic, when people don’t have jobs, I think it’s great that people can make their own [clothes],” she said. While sewing has long been a resource for people to fulfill their clothing needs, globalisation and fast fashion have put it out of use. These days, sewing is more of a novelty than a skill, though #SewingTikTok is trying to change that. Even Sullivan, who depends on her work as a designer to pay the bills, welcomes more sewers to copy her designs. It’s not just about affordability, but quality: “I’d rather them make it for themselves than [buy one] at Zara,” she says.

The Red Door

Acquire here: https://yunglads25.itch.io/the-red-door

This is billed as a short horror game about escaping from the house of a murderer. Well! I’m here for That. Also the title screen has a great somber-creepy piano score and there is a dude standing in that doorway in a real when-you-see-it brick-shitting sort of way. I’m excited. 

So I load up and a screen informs me that I have “3 chances left” which I have to assume means chances to escape. Then it drops me right into this cavernous living space: 

There is a bed and a bookshelf and stuff behind me. This appears to be a whole cabin. The dude who lives here is not utilizing his space very well. Maybe he kidnapped me to be his interior decorator? 

Also I wonder what that silhouette in the corner is tracking. That seems probably important. 

Oh no. I went to look at that chair pointing at the wall in the corner and fell through the floor into....this. That...seems bad. Also apparently that silhouette up there is my status, because I seem to have sprained my ankle or something. I’m moving real slow now. 

Pro-tip: Press Q to unhide. Don’t sit under the bed panicking and spamming every button imaginable. Not that anyone would ever do that.

Also oh no did I just hear a creaking footstep?!

This TV just turned itself on when I walked past. What is that I wonder? Is that my apartment? Has he been stalking me there? What is even happening??

AHA! paper and a key! this seems promising...

Oh hey, convenient! the last victim left me a helpful tutorial! Thanks, murder victim friend! 

OK, I’ve made my way back out of the murder basement and unlocked the padlock on this door and...it’s...there’s a lot going on here. Why does this guy have such a huge house and why is it full of wheelchairs and hospital beds. 

OH JESUS shit I didn’t get the screenshot in time but, uh, when the dude shows up, your flashlight stops working for some reason and he is backlit in terrifying crimson murderlight. It’s scary. Just trust me on this. Anyway he showed up, it was dark, I waited for a second and he...vanished? So??? I don’t know what that’s all about.

Also...um...I just walked through a wardrobe into this room and I don’t know wtf is up with this doll(?) but I have to imagine it’s...nothing good. Also wtf why could I walk through a wardrobe into a room that shouldn’t be there? Is this really a killer’s house or is this some kind of trippy nightmare descent into madness? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Oh....oh, that seems bad. But why do they have a morgue toe tag? I have questions about the type of establishment being run, here. 

That seems like it’s probably important. Let me just go ahead and commit that to memory. 

This is fine. Nothing weird about this room and all of the glowing red numbers on the wall. Nothing weird at all. 

I have not, however, seen the killer and his murder halo pop back up. BRB while I try to see if I can get this guy to come kill me...

[penicillinsteve]

I was watching that girl who pops edibles before doing like her makeup tutorials or ASMR vids or whatever, and, like, she was dressing up as this GRANDMA and she was doing fucking GOOD! Like she had her curly ass nana wig, which made her look like late 70s Chip Zien but with silver hair, which I respect immensely, and sheGrandma bitch." and then she put on a big red bra, and stuffed water bALLOONS IN THEM. who got the cookie? Grandma bitch

I have late 70's chip zien hair and I see this as an attack. Brb gonna pop some edibles and regain my pride.

Pokemon Yellow Nuzlocke: Part 1

Hello! Greetings. This website seems determined to change how it works every week or so. It's revolting. I still haven't gotten around figuring out how to archive. Assuming there is a way to do so. Soundwave's apparently worked something out, but nothing for the long term. Until they stop fiddling with the site itself, then there's no figuring out a permanent system. Eugh. Any hints as to what this is? A short film that should have won at the Oscars and didn't. And I've been incredibly surly over this. I see... Unattended children die in a clay mire? And how! hello! Hello there! Hello. what is happening here Bad decisions. good times, then In an asbestos mine -- nobody's favorite mineral to eat. Too late then. He died as he lived -- choking on lungs full of cold, wet, sucking asbestos and groundwater. how very existential A cautionary tale in not allowing children to wander. It's very Cybertronian!

Alright. Now let's see if we can get this emulator working. Flawless paragon of its kind, truly Oh, there we are! Is the sound alright for everyone? No problems? It seems to be working fine. coming through perfetly clear and 16-bit Fantastic! What to name your rival? Oh, so many possibilities. and only seven letters to do it in Let's see, who do I hate? and, if the name is too long, do you have a demeaning nickname Fair enough. True, and cutting his name short probably WOULD annoy him more Oh, immensely. The hardest part of this game is apparently thinking of names. I'm having fun so far! it's almost like it didn't stand a chance against a rodent that literally stores lightning in itself Your rat is displeased. Look at that face! We'll get along perfectly! Alright, here are the rules of the game. First pokemon encountered in any given area is the one we catch, fainting means death, and we get one Mulligan on Lambo because he's my special, darling little boy. Seems straight forward enough. Do you have to name all the monsters you catch? Every single one. So you get attached Absolutely. If we're not all crying before this project is at an end, I've failed as your master of ceremonies and you can point and laugh at me. I promise to point and laugh if you get all your monsters killed before reaching the next city. That's reasonable. Oh yes, back to the naming screen! Scrap. That was an accident. I thought you could only catch the first pidgey you encountered in this area? We're cheating a little because it's the first area. Tsk tsk. yeah, aren't we basically still in the forced tutorials bit? Game hasn't properly started yet Exactly. Hence The Rat With No Name, whom I'm sure we'll all grow to accept regardless. Unless it dies. then we'll accept it as The Rat That Lasted Less Than An Hour UI'm here! What did I miss? Hello! We watched a child drown in a mire, and now it is time for imaginary monster catching. Nuzlocke edition Ahhh I'm just seeing the rabbit loading screen If I'd known we were starting at the old time, I would have been here! Also, hang on while I reload Night human! Welcome! So, I hear the game music, but there's no video. Can anyone else see... anything? It is working for me. Same Gosh! This is exactly what I wanted to deal with. If I'd known we were starting at the old time, I would have been here! Also, hang on while I reload Night human! Welcome! So, I hear the game music, but there's no video. Can anyone else see... anything? It is working for me. Same Gosh! This is exactly what I wanted to deal with. Yeah, Rabbit's been... just stellar tonight Let me save and then try something. .............................. Son of a glitch. Well, that's why we save often. I'll try a different browser. I'd be lying if I said I din't fear for the Rat With No Name's Future. Eh. To be fair, you probably should. He's very delicate. He probably cries a lot. I think I need to reboot. brb Look at them clearing out those harmless, low level wild mice and rats. That's my team! Devastating the local ecosystem. The perfect hobby for ten year old children. pff, wait 'til we start catching the ones said to be responsible for the weather Assuming we get that far. I do not think the Rat is going to make it that far along. Don't you talk about my Rat that way. It's not his fault he's good at nothing. Time to move out of the baby field. And start playing with the rules properly? Yes nd I'm still not getting any video. Very odd... I'm using Rabbit Share. Does that make a difference? I don't know Hold on. Let me try rebooting it. After I name the new bird. If it's working for other people, then the problem is on my end yeah, best guess? Video drivers are acting up. wait! there it is! woo! Okay, so, Chrome works, Opera no longer does, I guess. So are we permanently back to starting at 6-6:30, or is this a one-time thing? A one time thing, at least until spring. I was feeling under the weather, so no newspark wrangling tonight." Ahhhh If I'd known I wouldn't have stayed late at work, and then run errands, and then gone out for takeout... Hmm, name suggestions for the bug? Or at the least, not those last two things "Twinkie" Ha. Now, who shall die Two mons enter, one mon leaves! And then you take the loser's money. ...it lets you JUMP OVER short hedges! well, yeah, I mean that's just general death match rules regarding money, right? So are they GIVING you the money or are you looting it from their dead/unconscious body? Mostly throwing it at you so you'll let them rush their monsters to medical aid Ah, so you're mugging them. Though, I guess they start out trying to mug YOU, so... You've killed their monsters. It is a bribe to avoid being slain as well. and this is a Nuzlocke, so they WILL kill you given half a chance It's a dangerous pokeworld out there I never knew bullying children could be so much fun! I find that statement highly suspect. Indeed, I am fairly certain you've enjoyed bullying children before this. Those were human children, they didn't count. These are Pokemon universe children. Very different. Aah, I see. *raises eyebrows* So... Pokemon universe children aren't human? .... According to the lore, they are also Pokemon. What, really? Ew. It is a strange universe That would explain why they all look the same, I guess. Or, uh... you know what I mean. The Nurse Joy lore is actually FASCINATINGLY weird Oh help me, that's adorable. I'd like to make it through the gym without casulties. *casualties It is going to be a challenge. Ooooo! A new one! Okay, rules be scrapped, I want her! We won't tell. In the name of gender diversity. Who needs rules, anyway? Besides, poison is pretty much the most fun type to play with Woohoo! Oh, it has horns? "Horny" No. "Spiky" Also vaguely inappropriate. Shoot, I was going for VERY inappropriate. Moonbeam. Very inappropriate would be something like Valveula'. Ooo, nice. I should have named my rival Valveula. You should have. You could do that next time. She's blue and thorny. I should have called her Arcee. /me hurriedly disguises a laugh as a cough A PURPLE one! Nice. In the interest of not cheating quite so much, I won't use him. I'll tuck him away and use him if worst comes to worst. Maybe the name should reflect that? Hmmmm. No room for "There's Been An Accident." exigency? "Whoopsie"? Ooh, I like that. 😃 Another! She's having none of it. If little Alpina/Arcee's going to survive the gym, she's got to learn to kill everything she loved. yeah, I've seen this first gym break the teeth of the unprepared LOTS of Nidorans all of a sudden Where were they when catching one wouldn't have been cheating? Hiding from you. And how did that work out for you, Nidorans? Have you caught all the pokemon you're allowed to before the gym? I have. There's mankey in the forest, but that's more cheating than I'm willing to do. Ahhhh. Well, would you look at that! Look at what? Little Twinkie's growing up. Oh! : ) Soon he'll be a full grown twink. Honestly, if I'd realized he was green and not yellow, I would have suggested, like... Bean It worked out this way. I guess it did! Maybe he's, like, an Easter twinkie That he is!

Whoops Silly question, but does that... cost anything? To heal them up? not a cent Nice! Yeah! Take on Brock! Kick his ass! I'm at least going to get some experience off his little lackey trainers. Well now. That was too close a call for the Rat With No Name. You could just call him Boy. Time to face the first gym leader I just realized this is Zelda music Or nearly. Time to die. Rock hard defense. Pfffhehehehe Nice. *cheering* The cheating to get her was not in vain. See, children? Cheaters always prosper. We'll go to the moon cave, then pack up for the night. Nice. Oh no! You let that monster die. RIP Lambo. Ah, ah, remember! Lambo gets one mulligan! I remember. Just as he shall remember this death. Oh, well, that's alright then. He's seen what's beyond. He'll never be the same. You monster. On the plus side, the upcoming Gym has plenty of targets for his traumatized wrath That should stop him from murdering us all in our beds. Yes, that's right; have him murder other pokechilds instead. There's nothing behind those little eyes of his. Now that's not true. His death has placed the void of oblivion within his gaze When you gaze into the void, Lambo gazes back. He knows there's nothing watching out for us. Hmm. What to name the pig monkey? Witwicky. Ha. That's mean. I like it. I've been told I'm a mean individual. Probably by jealous people. Anakin. It's small and fat and full of life, like Lambo was until about 15 minutes ago. I love it. And it LOVES sand. : ) : D my children. I'm so proud. They're in the news! And I think that's where we'll wrap it up for now! This seems like a good point. Aww. Well, it was fun! Thank you for hosting tonight's nonsense. you survived, you got a badge, and there was only minimal cheating! It's the best scenario we could have hoped for! And for our traditional parting high note... A for effort. I'm sure it tastes fine. PFFF Why is he dying I like the cookie lodged in his head. His life is pain. I like the expression oh my god I called it. That's his dick. ... A very high note to end on. I'm glad you think so! That was great. Good night, everyone! Thank you for coming and enduring all of that level grinding! Goodnight! thank you, good night! Thanks for the stream, and goodnight!
