I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!

The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!

The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!

The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!

And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!

I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!

Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)

PK: "...Kid..."

PV: "What? I'm just pointing out the obvious."

PK: "You're being a little shit is what you are."

WL: "Well, they're not wrong–"

PK: "Don't enable this."

(ID start: A picture of The Pale King, The White Lady and the Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans. They're all wearing matching golden roses, a pin for Pure Vessel, a hair clip for the Pale King and a corsage for the White Lady. The Pure Vessel has their hand at the head height of their father, laughing about his height with their mother, much to the displeasure of the king. End ID.)

They're making fun of the monochronic manlet

so more LN III thoughts (not as many at least, read more is just for users who are avoiding altogether)

I keep thinking abt how the single player you'll be playing with an AI like LN II, and I think the game would offer a lot of replay ability if you can choose which kid you play as as they both do different things (the wrench kid has the wrench for puzzles and breaking things, and the masked kid has the slingshot). in multiplayer it makes enough sense you can pick which one to play as, but if you can choose in single I think it'd make the game have a lot more play value and that's super cool.

the fact it has online co-op can mean so much for cool additional things, and i do hope character customisation is still there (LN with Six's masks/hats and LN II with Monos also) even if you have to unlock it which would also still offer replay ability.

the true Thoschei shipper experience: learning about binary star systems and immediately going “ah yes, these are the disasters from my blue box show”

Very well said, anon!

In fact I've been reading articles about it for over an hour. This one by Space.com covers is pretty well.

And I need to warn you: I went down a rabbit hole so this is a long looong post, no I am Not high despite what my arguments might suggest, no I don't have a lot of free time I am working from home unsupervised by my superiors and with free access to internet. Also, I had a lot of fun researching this.

Binary stars can be divided in categories based on their orbits. There are, for example, Wide Binaries and Close Binaries.

Close binaries, on the other hand, evolve nearby, able to transfer their mass from one to the other. The primaries of some close binaries consume the material from their companion, sometimes exerting a gravitational force strong enough to pull the smaller star in completely.

Ughhh so Thoschei coded.

But I have found something that's even MORE Thoschei coded.

At the end of that Space.com article there's a mention to a star called "Nemesis". You can read more about it on this Business Insider article, it was the easiest one to understand that I could find.

Basically it's a theory proposed in the 1980's by a physicist called Richard Muller from the University of California. He suggested that our Sun is a binary star.

And according to the scientists that give credence to this theory, if Nemesis was a real star, it might have been responsible for the mass extinctions that happened on Earth about 66 million years ago.

The thing is that scientists were, to this day, unable to find that star. The physicist who proposed this theory, Richard Muller, believes it is allocated 1.5 years from the Sun.

Now, a lot of scientists think that there's no evidence that Nemesis is real. In that article, Nasa claims it's a hypothesis and it has been disproven.

But let's move to the most heartwarming part of it:

My whole point with this post is, sure, that theory/hypothesis may be proven false, but I just think it's funny how similar Nemesis (even the name!!) can be to the Master.

In the beginning Nemesis orbited the Sun, just like Koschei (the Master) orbited Theta (the Doctor). Theta had always been different, always acted like he was special.

Then, they fell apart. And Nemesis, just like the Master, could've been responsible for the mass extinction that happened on Earth - the Master has been writing plans like this on his personal journal ever since the Doctor decided Earth was more interesting than him and humans were more fun to hang out with than with him.

(Although the last screenshot suggests that the star isn't actually responsible for the mass extinctions. So, Master, it's your chance to shine! As my professors have said, it has been done before, but not the way you do!)

I love that this scientist suggests that Nemesis should be called Companion, instead, because that's what the Master was supposed to be. That's what the Doctor wanted him to be. That's what they promised each other when they were young.

Fun fact that I completely forgot about while writing this post because I am an idiot: Gallifrey is in a binary star system. However, it seems like it has an artificial origin. So I don't know how to apply it to the post but we can apply it as a metaphor to them too because, I mean, how many fanfics of them running around the red fields under the twin suns have we read, right?

SO yeah I think I have gone too far with this and I just noticed it's actually been three hours but hey it's a friday night and I'm sick so!

[joethehoeee]

I've made a Stricklake picture again ofc-

And I finally tried to do some shadows. Probably not all of them are right buuut I tried and yeah it looks actually good.

I've actually made a edit about a year ago and I found it again and it inspired me to do this :)

The edit and this drawing are both inspired by the meme picture here:

And also a bit from (this) work :)

Aaaaand I thought I could as well just post the edit with it.
