#i live palindromes :D

[palindrome-lovers]

btw in case it is not clear, feel free to submit palindromes that you enjoy as well!

whether it be numbers, letters, codes, symbols, whatever!!

[garblegarden]

Some of my confibulan characters! @quimiri and I drafted up another species of alien to play around with. Confibula is a 4-star system, 3 of which have planets around them, and the world where palindromes live isn't the only one with life.

The palindrome/phony world is a terrestrial planet orbiting Confibula Ba, a yellow main sequence star. There's also Confibula Bb, a white main sequence star, with its own set of planets.

On one of such planets live the Forks, Bifurcators, Branches, Fingers, Deelybobbers, "Freaky Starfish" among other names, because we can't decide, a powerful spacefaring race who can split their limbs in half over and over again.

Anyways, here's everyone:

Human Guy: A human who crashlanded on the palindrome world. Humans don't live on Confibula (Ba, d) anymore, and he's been stuck for quite some time so he's stopped believing he'll get to go home and started composing a travelogue about the world. He travels with Patrick, a palindrome.

Patrick: A palindrome who, to many other palindromes' discomfort, walks around naked everywhere and also walks around with an alien everywhere. He was kicked out of his group in the woods and now lives in the grasslands with Human Guy.

Skunk: A phony, a highly mutated palindrome that looks like an earthly critter. They live in the saltpan desert, and I think they look cool.

Porcelain: A white morph coralline bifurcator. Close with Eigengrau. Has three base arms.

Eigengrau: A black morph stellate bifurcator. Close with Porcelain. Has seven base arms.

Cloth: A supercomputer and sentient AI that Porcelain and Eigengrau used to mine cryptocurrency, but then went missing. Fork computers are flexible sheets that can be folded up and crammed into all sorts of machines and devices, so this rendition of Cloth is naked.

All of these names are human exonyms, and they all have their own real names aside from these that they use among their own species.

Close reading - Vahni Anthony Ezekiel Capildeo - Revolution Time

Revolution Time

Revolution time is a turn  and a turn is a crisis and maybe how you spell crisis is where Christ is - maybe not Revolution time is a turn about a time not taken because taken for granted for given - were you taken through Revolution Time Wordsearch looking for LOVE - were you given EVIL when you wanted to LIVE - Revolution is not a spell. Time is now. Time is devalued, time is monetized, misgendered, is nothing if not now.                        Time is revolution you don’t see. Revolution time happening inside.                You can’t tell by testing if someone is Revolution Positive. One-thirty-second Revolution.                Who is turning Inwardly? The man cutting grass turns into a voter. The child from Venezuela turns into a Moko. The lady squatting down the road, you call her crazy, then you turn a little inward and call her hungry, take the time to turn and call her family. Call her family. I am wrong in every structure I take down. Everything we can sing to hope walls fall, we sing colonially.

Also this. Click off. Also that. Click off. Revolution time is reflection and reflex action refusing to react. Revolution time: when you love to kill your neighbour, but you click off. Revolution time is thinking again. Think again.

What is it?

Revolution Time is an unrhymed poem featuring a cacophony of voices, a riotous mix of Dante, Sean Bonney, Public Enemy – the clash of ‘crisis/christ’ reminds me of Chuck D “wondering / where Christ is in all this crisis” – carnival characters and Vahni Anthony Ezekiel Capildeo. The loudest voice on the track is Capildeo’s, their booming, bonny sloganeering bouncing from phrase to phrase like a butterfly:

Time is now. Time is devalued, time is monetized, misgendered, is nothing if not now.

Capildeo zooms in and out, clicks on and off. The poem quivers under self-imposed pressure, a beautiful mind dancing through characters and phrases with powder puff punches of manic pixie energy and a hint of violence, undercut by enchantment, like Ariel from Shakespeare's most well-rounded play on a date with Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Why it works

What works in Revolution Time is Capildeo’s quality of mind; just as their thoughts settle, they switch: ‘ Who is turning / inwardly?’ Capildeo predicts the readers inward turn through hyper sensitivity to mood. Hyper sensitivity is a key to their machinery, it gives Revolution Time richer, more evocative, pantomime play:  

               The man cutting grass turns into a voter. The child from Venezuela turns into a Moko.

Revolution Time is playful, alive to the fun in profundity, I love the palindrome: ‘EVIL when you wanted to LIVE’ (their capitals). Capildeo’s is a poet to read for pure pleasure, we all need a little more Capildeo on our bookshelves, a little more pleasure in our lives.

Anything else?

Capildep started writing at the age of two, and credits her Hindu heritage as an early inspiration: “hearing my father chant the Ramayana’s beautiful slokas assured me that illiteracy was not our fate” (interview by Zannab Sheikh)

Capildeo is a close friend of Jeremy Noel-Tod, influential poetry critic and senior lecturer at UEA. In 1998 Noel-Tod published a poem by Capildeo in the magazine Zero, a student led creative writing publication at Oxford.

From the poet:

“Revolution Time' was commissioned by the Bocas Litfest when it went online during the strict lockdown in Trinidad. This was for the Revolution Time event (I'm at about 32 minutes in). It deliberately uses repetition and wordplay, in a way that's influenced by traditional masquerade characters such as the Robber and the Pierrot.

My poem was partly inspired by hearing the Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon preach on metanoia, as well as seeing him take a very direct approach to poverty relief, integration of migrants, and education around hygiene and encouragement of vaccination; partly inspired in delivery by my Midnight Robber character, Stranger Invader.”

My Top 10 Albums of 2019

2019 presented me with a handful of incredible events and memories (I turned 30, I got married, etc.), while also serving me a big challenge (my partner is temporarily living on the other side of the country). In a poetic world, these things would have a significant impact on the music that I listened to and loved, but no, not really. This year is pretty on the nose for me, music-wise. Oh, except that I got really into Taylor Swift in the second half of the year.

Before we hop into boring Steve's boring top 10 list, let's revisit the 2018 list. The only album on the list that I barely listened to in 2019 was Cardi's Invasion of Privacy. Everything else gets at least semi-regular spins, although I'd elevate Historian, boygenius, and Big Red Machine above these others.

My biggest disappointment this year was Charli XCX's CHARLI, which is a solid album, but it didn't grab me nearly as much as Pop 2 did a couple years ago. It hasn't stuck in my rotation.

Runners up:

Bon Iver - "i,i" (I love it when I listen to it, but for some reason I'm not often compelled to listen to it)

Ariana Grande - "thank u, next" (Staple of early 2019, but fell off)

Carly Rae Jepsen - "Dedicated" (Great, but I'd rather listen to E•MO•TION)

Taylor Swift - "Lover" (Some true standout tracks, like Lover and Paper Rings, but too many cloyboys and CRJ rip-offs)

Weyes Blood - "Titanic Rising" (I could see this growing on me over the years, like a Radiohead record)

And the pre-2019 albums that should've made my respective yearly lists:

Beyoncé - "4" (2011)

Beyoncé - "BEYONCE" (2013)

Big Thief - "Capacity" (2017)

Big Thief - "Masterpiece" (2016)

Perfume Genius - "No Shape" (2017)

Snail Mail - "Lush" (2018)

Taylor Swift - "Red" (2012)

10. Big Thief – U.F.O.F

Early in the year, I "discovered" Big Thief. I don't know how I missed them before. Specifically, the song "Masterpiece" got right up in my brain and has been hanging out there since. Then Big Thief gave us U.F.O.F. which was yet another great Big Thief album. See #3 below.

9. Andrew Bird – My Finest Work Yet

Look, I'll stop putting Andrew Bird records on my end-of-year lists when he stops making them.

Andrew Bird turned a corner with the release of Are You Serious where he basically acknowledged that he was now going to work with other people and write scrutable songs. It was a good album, but My Finest Work Yet refines this Andrew Bird 2.0 and delivers some of his... finest work yet ("Sisyphus," "Manifest," "Olympians"). While I still prefer earlier Andrew Bird (A Nervous Tic Motion into Fake Palindromes into Measuring Cups... my gosh, that's 10 incredible minutes of music), I understand why he's moved on to something else.

8. JPEGMAFIA – All My Heroes Are Cornballs

I've been in a rap rut. Kanye is putting out self-indulgent gospel albums. Chance and Drake are boring now. JAY Z is working with the NFL.

But the rut is mostly a lack of imagination on my part. There's a lot of rap out there that hasn't made it through my naive filter, and I want to seek more of it out in 2020. Case in point: JPEGMAFIA. He's weird, political, funny... all the things that the aforementioned rappers aren't (or at least, aren't anymore). All My Heroes Are Cornballs is the most hypnotic rap album I've listened to in years. The glitchy beats and effortless flow makes it impossible to turn off mid-album.

7. BROCKHAMPTON – Ginger

GINGER is a proper follow-up to the SATURATION trilogy. While Iridescence had some good tracks on it, the overall experience was jarring (not without reason, given what the group was going through with Ameer). GINGER reads (ok, plays) like an album in a way that the Saturations never did. While it may be spiritually linked to the Satursation, it's a complete departure sonically. Even though it's more constrained and less bombastic than their hits from that era, it feels much bigger and, ahem, More Important. That might not be to the taste of some of their fans, but I'm happy to have both versions of BROCKHAMPTON in my music library.

6. Lana Del Rey – Norman Fucking Rockwell!

Music publications couldn't get over the fact that on NFR!, Lana, yes LANA DEL REY, was wordsmithing at a high level. Is it that hard to believe that someone would become a better poet as they gained more life experiences, inching closer to the mystical 10,000 hours? Some of the praise may have gone a little overboard (and, frankly, seems rooted in a narrow, misogynistic view of Who Can Do Music Good™️™️™️), but I agree with the underlying principle of the praise: that this is a collection of well written and well performed songs. It has my favorite album closer of the year, "Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have - but I Have It." I get chills just thinking about it.

5. Clairo – Immunity

I enjoyed my first listen.

On my second listen, I wondered if it was maybe too simple. I didn't listen again for several months.

But then, when I was working from Pittsburgh the week before Christmas, I listened again. And I couldn't stop listening. It's simpler music than many of the albums on this list, but it appeals to me for the same reason I had a fixation with Snail Mail's Lush this year: it's incredible that songs that sound so "simple" (and I truly do not mean simple in an insulting way) can still be different than anything we've heard before, and can still transfix us in new ways. Behold ye, the power of combinatorics!

4. Vampire Weekend – Father of the Bride

Channel Orange to Blonde was 4 years. There's nothing you can do to get your favorite artists to make music faster. There's some beauty in that... that if an artist is financially successful enough, they don't need to rush.

Modern Vampires of the City to Father of the Bride was 6 years (i.e., 20% of my lifetime). But at least there are no duds here, and "Harmony Hall" might sneak into my hypothetical favorite-songs-of-all-time pantheon.

3. Big Thief – Two Hands

Oh, but then a few months later, Big Thief gave us another album. They started working on it right after they finished U.F.O.F, which tracks based on every interview I've read with Adrianne Lenker. She talked about the insane touring and album release schedule they've been on in the past four years, but her point wasn't "I'm getting tired," but rather "let's see if I can do this forever." I saw them play at The Fillmore after they released Two Hands and I got the sense that Adrianne has to make and perform music. She was uncomfortable engaging in the standard nearly-identical pleasantries that artists share with the audience. She was shy. She was surprised to find that we were hanging on her every word and chord. It was relatable. She's the closest to a genius I've seen in an indie rock band in the last several years, although I'm sure she'd hate anyone calling her that.

That genius produced Two Hands, an affecting indie rock record that practically demands that you close your eyes because you need to experience it and only it.

2. Tyler, the Creator – IGOR

This year, I listened to IGOR over and over again. The hooks, verses, beats, and vibe are all infectious. Boring Steve says "hey, look, it's just a great album." I don't have a deeper thought about it. I eagerly await Tyler's next project.

1. Nilüfer Yanya – Miss Universe

This year, like 2009 a decade ago, was an exciting year to be an indie rock fan. Vampire Weekend and Bon Iver cemented their elder ("elder") statesperson statuses, Big Thief came into their own as a true force of nature, and acts like Clairo and Nilüfer made me extremely jazzed about the Ghost of Indie Future.

Nilüfer has a unique and delightful voice that punches through some really fun songwriting and arrangements. Like, what a dumb, awesome lyric:

Although I cannot tell if I'm paranoid

Or it's all in my head, it's all in my head

Miss Universe is her debut full-length album, and it's a lovable and off-kilter thesis statement for what I assume will be a lovable and off-kilter music career. I can better explain why some of the other albums on this list are great, but suffice it to say, the system rewards unique performances.

Have you ever thought your house was haunted? There have been a couple odd things that have happened. Like, we had this surround sound speaker for the TV in the living room and on a few occasions it’d randomly turn on and make this horrible high pitch sound. A couple of the times it wouldn’t turn off we had to unplug it to get it to stop. It happened once when my cousin was here by herself housesitting for us and she got so scared. She didn’t have the TV on at the time either, the speaker just did that creepy thing randomly. She kept trying to turn it off before she realized she had to just unplug it. It was obviously just malfunctioning, but still it was pretty creepy. We finally just threw the thing out. Another thing that has happened is that we have this built-in shelf space in the living room and there’s been a couple times when something would randomly shoot off the shelf. It wasn’t like it was at the edge or anything. There was nothing that bumped it and no one was anywhere near it when it happened. :O

Ha, I also want to share the story that happened a few years ago when I was home alone and heard and the theme song from Halloween randomly start playing from the other room. I was  f r e a k e d  out to say the least, but it turned out my brother had it as his ringtone and he had forgot his phone at home that day. Laughable once I realized what it was, but definitely creepy at the time!

Do any of your friends have blond hair?

When you were little, did you do gymnastics? Nope.

Do you know anyone who is pregnant? No.

Do you like being the X or the O when you play tic tac toe? The X.

What do you think is the most popular name for a girl? I don’t know about now, but when I was a kid my name (Stephanie) was pretty popular. There was like 5 of us Stephanie’s in class together. 

What about a boy? I don’t know.

What color is your fridge? Black.

How many people are around you right now? Zero.

How many songs are on your music device? I don’t remember exactly how many songs my main Spotify playlist has, but it’s a lot.

Do spicy foods give you heartburn or make you make you gassy? I’d often get bad indigestion, but I risked it cause I loved spicy food so much. I can’t eat it anymore, though. :(

Which word do you think is stronger: love or hate? Both are very strong, intense emotions. I do feel like it takes more to hate someone, though.

How many children do you want if you want any? Zero.

Would you rather bungee jump or sky dive? Uh, neither thanks.

How many more months until your birthday? It’s not until next July. I’m in no rush.

Is body hair attractive or unattractive to you? I like some facial scruff. 

Who do you like better: Tom the cat or Jerry the mouse? I don’t really have a favorite out of the two.

Have you ever slept on a blow up mattress? Yeah.

Which is funner: escalators or elevators? I can only take the elevator, but I don’t think it’s fun. 

Do you prefer bare feet or socks? Socks.

Hard wood floor or carpet? I much prefer hardwood. 

Would you ever want to work in a toy store? No.

If you had the chance, would you go to space? Noooo. Just the idea terrifies me.

Who is your favorite Disney princess? Belle.

Do you like asking questions better or answering? Well, I like Googling questions and things I want to know more about.

Are you more of a listener or talker? Listener. 

Do you follow your head or heart more? I think my emotions tend to take lead a lot of the time. Logically I’ll know something, but my emotions take over.

Would you rather give up your hand or your foot? My foot. As a paraplegic I don’t have feeling or use of my foot, so I wouldn’t have a hard time adapting like I would if I lost my hand. That being said, that doesn’t mean I want to just go have my legs and feet amputated...

Have you ever tried crowd surfing? No.

Do you like rock and roll music? Yeah.

If you could have 16 wishes, tell me just one you wish: One would be to have good health, both mentally and physically.

Can you say the alaphabet backwards? I mean yeah, but it would take me a little longer.

Do you like the movie Bambi? If so, who is your favorite on there? Yeah, it’s cute. It’s been several years since I’ve watched it, though.

Would you rather be on the computer all day or watch TV? Well, my days do consist of spending a lot of time online, but I also have the TV on. It serves as background noise a lot, I’ll just tune in and out. I do have shows or movies that I watch and pay more attention to, though. I multitask.

Would you rather be a police man or a firefighter? Neither.

Do you like jokes or riddles better? I like both.

Do you like onion rings? Yeah.

Do you like odd or even numbers better? I don’t have a preference. My favorite number happens to be even, though.

Last song you heard? I think it was an Ariana Grande song.

How many people have you hugged today? Zero so far. It’s 1:51AM and I haven’t seen anyone, yet.

Ocean or lake? Ocean.

Would you rather swim in a pool, lake, pond or ocean? >> I can’t swim, so I tend to avoid all large bodies of water. But I like being near the ocean best. <<< Same. I love being near it and listen to/watch the waves crash in and out.

Does your name look funny spelt backwards? Yeah. I don’t have a palindrome name like Hannah.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I’m good with mine.

Do you like your first name? Yeah.

Do you know a lot of people with the middle name Marie? Yes.

Do you like loud or quiet people better? I mean, I wouldn’t not like someone just because they’re loud, but I don’t like if someone is being loud, ya know? Being around loud people is overwhelming and headache inducing. 

Taking pictures or getting your picture taken? Taking. What is your favorite color on you? Black.

Do you like chocolate? Yeah, but I’m not a chocoholic. I’ll want some now and then and then after I have a little bit I’ll be good for awhile. White chocolate is really bomb, though.

Favorite day of the year? Christmas Eve and day. The time from October through December is my favorite, too, cause of the weather and holidays.

Favorite holiday? Christmas.

What is your least favorite month? June, July, and August.

:] or :) :)

What color is your phone? Coral.

Crayons or markers? Markers out of the two, but colored pencils beats them both.

Snookie or Vinny? I don’t care for Jersey Shore.

Do you like Sharpies? I like the Sharpie fine point pens.

Are you more afraid of going to the doctors or dentist? I get really nervous and anxious about both, but the dentist has never been a good experience for me. I’m a big baby when it comes to the dentist especially.

Onto episode 3!

Live reaction again, feat. @falldowndead

fran: alright ep three"the man in the street"

falldowndead: I LOVE THAT ONE

fran: i thinki think we listened to part of it w youshit is it--a man lost in time? or somethign like that

falldowndead: yep

fran: DONT TELL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE shit first of all what the fuck

falldowndead: lol

fran: im joking btw, i did ask

falldowndead: yeah, i did wonder if i was supposed to answer or not.  but since it was indeed a question, i just answered?

fran: i mean. usually. please no? but i did listen to this somewhen and partially remembered, so its cool oh sally is ok sally just fell while trying to get some water with a particularly curious timing what "i never did get to open that letter" but you did you even read the first line, part of it it feels like a sign....ana is supersticious "if theres somethign that doesnt want me reading those letters......" oh theres part of a return address! the town is called FAIRY HILL, YOU SAY? the internet cut out before you could doublecheck if the town existed? the name is LUNA THORN AND THERES A SPOOKY SOUND IN THE BACK WHEN YOU SAY IT? i call fuckery wait fairy.........hill? isnt the house on top of a hill and the letters were returned to sender........and they are on the house I CALL BULLSHIT

falldowndead: i love the name. Luna Thorn

fran: reminds me of luna lovegood...... good times im predisposed to liking luna guy is still there! shit the dream! the description of the ep made me think shell remmeber the word or something pleasssssssseeeeeeeeeeee tlel meeeeeeeeee he knocked!!! he man now shes mentioning palindromes "things doubling back on themselves and still coming out with the same reflexion" fuck, the house really is like, fairy land, and mabel is somehow stuck inside of it i dont think they should be able to do that YEAH, ANA. DOESNT FEEL GOOD FOR ANYBODYS HEALTH ......he just went back to the lamppost you feel safe. no, you feel.....necessary. like youre the person i should be talking to. this is so spooky the baby finally fell asleep on my leg, which is cramping. but i cannot move. save me now dad looked alert and tense.........shit he makes the same question oh more singing oh shit the rising sun????? shes singing "theres a house in new orleans they call the rising sun its been the ruin of many young boys and god i know im one" THATS NOT SPOOKY AND TELLING AT ALL "of many a poor boy*" oh so now the electricity in the house is whimsical lights will turn themselves on--shit like they want to remind you that theyre there ANA THAST.......... he stared at me as if i 'd broken his heart. like i was his daughter hed been trying for years to save and hed just realized theres no saving me BITCH now shes.....shes saying she shouldnt be able to hear the rain from where she is . what is that sound?

falldowndead: pfffffff awn darling

fran: he left.. its so fucking spooky. the woman with a mouth that was bloody or burned.......the word was. datora?

falldowndead: datura

fran: its a..plant?a powerful drug... ?

----

Alright! I have no idea what this man “lost in time” actually is, means, or--anything, really. It’s really spooky. The house is definitely something - I have no idea who Luna is, but Fairy Hill is almost certainly the hill the house sits on. I wonder what the rain means. The description of the episode is “in which rain continues to fall”, its pointed out several times in the episode, and Ana says she shouldn’t be able to hear it... it’s probably related to Fairy Hill and whatnot.

The man mouthing get out while his eyes kept flitting over to something behind her? I Will Not Sleep Today Thanks

I love Ana saying she’s superstitious and then doing shit like. “Maybe there’s somethin that doesn’t want me to open the letters, so it’s good that I didn’t (even thoough I did.) There’s probably nothing bad about searching for the name of the town tho right? Oh internet went out? I’m sure it’s nothing” and “He was looking behind me like there was something but I checked and there was nothing! I’m sure it doesn’t mean anythign that he told me to get out”

Ella Minnow Pea - By Mark Dunn

“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” - the lexically gifted Mr. Nollop

-----

Do you know what a pangram is? That’s okay, not everyone does. Pangram, paragraph, palindrome... who’s got the time to understand, let alone WORRY about what these are or what they mean? 

However, the entire world of Ella Minnow Pea and all the inhabitants on Nollop Island is consumed by one simple pangram phrase. 

Oh, I haven’t told you what a pangram is yet? Sorry! To explain, a pangram is a phrase that uses all 26 letters of the English alphabet. Pretty neat - AND not at all easy to do! 

Okay, so that phrase that dominates the world of Ella and her friends? 

“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” 

Yes, count the letters, they’re all there. The sentence makes sense, it’s clear, and it only contains a total of 35 letters. The immortal Mr. Nollop, rest his soul, used his lexical prowess to gift the members of Nollop Island with his immortal and astounding pangram. To honor this feat and the man himself, the Nollopians placed a statue in the center of the island depicting the man himself, and adhered his timeless phrase on tiles beneath him. 

Our story is told through letters from Ella and others. She describes their life on the island and the wonderful man that Mr. Nollop was and how lucky they are to have been given his pangram. 

Everything seems all fine and dandy until one night a storm blows through and knocks off a letter from the pangram. Goodbye “z”! The Council is thrown into a tizzy, attempting to discern if Nollop is sending them a message from beyond the grave. 

They decide it must be a sign, and decree that no one can from then on use the letter “z”, either in writing or talking. 

Eh, that’s not so bad, right? What words even use the letter “z”? Have I even used one this whole post? 

Well....I guess “tizzy” is out....

Anyway, life seems to progress normally, until plop! another letter falls. It’s “q” this time. True to form, the Council outlaws the use of “q” as well. Goodbye quilts, quizzes, questions, and more! But these are easily substituted with other words, and life goes on.

But you can guess what happens as the book progresses. More and more letters begin to fall, and less and less words can be spoken or written. What can you do when the letter “d” falls? How do you tell someone you want to meet them on Wednesday, or that your name might be Dan? 

The Council is too worried they might offend the all powerful Mr. Nollop, and refuse to allow the usage of the fallen letters. However, they allow one concession. IF, and only if, someone can create a pangram with LESS letters than the one conceived by the wonderful Mr. Nollop, they will concede that perhaps he isn’t the all powerful and lexically gifted man they originally thought. 

One issue though: if anyone is caught using the banned letters more than once, they will be exiled from the island forever. 

Ella and her friends work tirelessly to win back their right to write and talk like normal humans even as the letters continue to fall. In secret, they attempt to create a phrase shorter than Mr. Nollop’s without being discovered. 

This book is a work of art in itself. Because it’s written as letters back and forth from Ella and others, we can see the progression of how each missing letter affects their speech and their lives. It also serves in a small way to warn us against allowing our freedom of speech to be restricted, even if at first it seems as inconsequential as outlawing the letter “z.” 

Happy reading!

HERE I GO STARTING ANOTHER FAKEMON LIVEBLOG

I promise this one won’t fizzle out and I will play more of Vega eveNTUALLY

All I know about this game going in is that it has an entirely fakemon ‘dex at least until postgame, which is on its own a massive feat worthy of applause. I’m excited.

As usual we’re playing a Nuzlocke, and I’m going in totally blind to BOTH the plot and the Pokedex. I’m going to document my whole journey here, both the triumphs and tragedies, and you’re all invited to tag along and laugh with/at me as I go.

Wish me luck!

SLLD Nuzlocke liveblog, part 1

So I think the music is recycled from canon games (not sure I’m mentally prepared for 100 hours of old school Hoenn horns gdhsfha) but LOOK AT THIS ART, HOLY SHIT

Noice

I guess “Professor Pine” does sound a little too cartoony, doesn’t it

Region rodent spotted

Not sure what to make of it yet 

The boy character actually looks a lot like me lmfao so I guess I’m going with that

Oh! Wow! Okay!

1) There IS original music in this game! It’s kinda sci-fi but also has a nice mellow piano melody? I don’t even know how to describe it but this is a good track

2) What unique sprites!!!! I’ve played several Pokemon fangames and have never seen anyone dare to break the mold quite so much. I’m not sure they’re better than the usual sprites, just different, but I appreciate the effort anyway!

3) There are PORTRAITS of who is talking!!!!!! So much attention to detail already and I haven’t taken a single step

Application to the Professor’s lab, I presume? This peppy yellow-haired kid must be the rival!

... They were just checking in to make sure I’d sent my application in too, so we’ll see them later I guess

Time to explore the room and grab the universal PC potion

Trainer number is a palindrome

Moving on to the downstairs

There can’t be a dialogue-portrait for every NPC, can there? That’s impossible

Thanks, Mom! Also, wait, holy cow, do I have two whole parents? That’s amazing lmao

Yeah with no other context I’m left to assume this is my dad

These graphics are really pretty. Am I mistaken or did they make ALL of these assets from scratch?? Holy shit

‘Kay

Kind of funny in retrospect that I’m starting this playthrough around 8:30 p.m.

Holy shit every single NPC has a talk portrait

Pffffffffft 

Can’t just go barging into random houses, Tyto, don’t be a creeper

There’s a tiny beach to the south of town

God I wish I could make quick gifs but you’re just going to have to take my word for it that there’s even like a 3- or 4-frame animation of the freaking doors opening. SO much detail 

Blonde friend is named Rodney, apparently. Also our moms look eerily similar

1) Rodney’s bedspread is cooler than mine

2) I just discovered that the size and position of the character sprites allows you to do this:

Hope y’all are ready to experience a full playthrough of Hand Holding Simulator 2k19 with me

Accidentally advancing the plot is what Tyto does best, apparently!

Don’t worry Rodney, I’ll be right with you as soon as I’m done looking at the north half of town

Hmm!

>:(

FINE, gosh

Noice. NOW I can go to the lab and get a Pokemon 

!

Maybe I’m just in a really good mood tonight but I feel the power of friendship flowing through me already 

(The colored text is so nice for liveblogging! :D)

I cannot emphasize enough how much I am ALL ABOUT this hand-holding thing with the sprites

Nice face

Nice!!!!

One reason I’m relieved not to be streaming this game live is you all don’t have to see how shamefully long it takes me to make big decisions like this. Don’t even get me started on how long each individual name takes

...

Oh my god, I missed screencapping it, but the Professor asks who wants to pick first, and Keira says “I don’t care which one I get--I know I’ll love it!” which is freaking cute. Then:

HHHHHH

Heads?

Pffff does the player always “win” no matter what? 

oH GEEZ HERE WE GO

Mmm just a name and a picture to go on, eh? Let’s see the other two

For the record, this game came out before Litten existed--maybe even before Litleo?

Hmm!!

I’ll tell you what. Salatad really gives me a similar vibe to the newly-announced Sobble. Since there’s a good chance I’m going to main Sobble when SwSh comes out, I’ll pass on the Water-type for this game. 

I’m sure Purrlit is by far the most popular starter choice in this game, but I’m here to have fun, right? Give me the warm fuzzy baby

So I’ve had this idea in the back of my head for a few weeks now that on my next Nuzlocke I could name all of my Pokemon after characters from musicals, so we’re totally fucking doing that and you’re all going to suffer my endless breaking into showtunes

Question is, then, what would be a good character to name a beloved starter after?

.............................

I’m mentally tossing around several different Cats references--there’s no one like Macavity!--but a name I keep coming back to from a different musical is Toby, for a reason that will soon be clear

Yeeeee

Rodney picks Salatad, leaving Herovor for Kiera.

What a WHOLESOME GAME

MY FRIEND MENTIONED THIS TO ME BUT I TOTALLY FORGOT

BUDDDDYYYYYYY POOOKKEEEEMMOOONNNNNNNN

TADA INDEED

Nothing’s gonna harm you, not while I’m around

Nothing’s gonna harm you, darling, not while I’m around

We’re in this for the long haul, Toby. You and me. We’re gonna see this through to the end together.

(yes it’s fully night now because picking Toby’s name took that long lmfao)

Wonder where these devs are from if they use “mum” :o

oH BOY HERE WE GO

(Also he called me his “best friend” before the fight started ;A; )

...Rodney’s battle music is hilarious because it’s all dramatic and rival-y but with like... silly-sounding instruments omg

uH

Graphics glitch?? hello????

I guess this is fine, I just??

Anyway Rodney’s battle sprite is cool

MY BOOOOOOY

also GOOD INTERFACE

SO many fangames try to spice up the battle UI and end up making it clunky or confusing or just weird

Rodney, I thought we were friends

This is an o u t r a g e

(It’s widely accepted in Nuzlockes to not count the first rival battle as a death, so this doesn’t really mean anything. Doesn’t mean I’m not still incredibly offended)

Hmph

Guess I can’t fault him too much if he was willing to heal us afterward

Anyway Rodney went home and the Professor came outside to say he forgot to give us something, presumably the Pokedex. Gotta go pick it up in the next town over apparently

sOBS

I’m so sorry, Toby, I feel like I’ve already failed you

I need to get back into a Nuzlocke mindset and always act as if critical hits are coming. We had Potions back there, we could have won if we’d been smarter. We can’t afford any more amateur mistakes.

Now let’s get going and train you up, buddy

Route 1, officially. 

We don’t have Pokeballs yet, so this is just an errand run with some training for the boy

Guesssss that’s just my trainer’s battle sprite, then, huh

Anyway there are BIRD Pokemon on this route! FINGERS CROSSED, EVERYBODY

...

Okay so I was going to grind a little in the first patch of grass and then move on once Toby was level 7 or so, but I went back to Soltree and TALKING TO YOUR MOM DOESN’T HEAL YOU, AND NEITHER DOES YOUR BED, OR THE PROFESSOR, OR ANYTHING

SO FUCK MY LIFE I GUESS WE’RE GOING STRAIGHT TO MOSSY TOWN

The rodent is called a Hamstar and now I want to know what it evolves into

You have GOT to be kidding

Toby’s still at level 5 for goodness’ sake

Oh thank goodness it wasn’t a trainer battle

Fought another lvl 2 Budcheep to at least reach level 6, and Toby learned Ember! Thank Arceus. It reminded me I hadn’t checked his info yet. He’s Hardy!

We’re here, and thankfully no trainers to battle

So not only does this game feature combo Pokecenter/Pokemarts, but there’s also an area in the building for NPCs who give quests, which is another thing my friend told me about but which I forgot ENTIRELY

We’ll see how viable any of the quests are during a Nuzlocke lmfao. Something tells me I won’t be completing many

Anyway, got Pinewood’s package and ran it back to Soltree in exchange for a Pokedex aaaAAAAND:

So here we go for real

Team member #2, here we come

wAIT

Have all the males I’ve run into been BLUE?

Or have I only run into females thus far??? 

WEIRD 

ANYWAY:

NEW BOOOOOY

Aww, they’re budgies, I should have known

Well, for this little guy I figure I’ll just pick a name from a song I had in my head this morning

HA! And he’s Lonely and stubborn, that’s hilarious

(For the record I’m naming him this in an endearing way. It’s a villain’s name, yes, but it’s also a regal-sounding name and an ironically tough sounding one for a small poofy bird.)

fuuUUUCKING EXCUSE ME

DID I JUST RUN INTO A MOTHERHECKING S H I N Y

I GUESS WE’RE DOING THIS

I CAN’T BELIEVE I FOUND A FUCKING SHINY BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO EVEN SEE THE NORMAL COLOR

AND IT’S A *COOL* SHINY

Okay

Okay

Calm down

I’m drawn to the name Rumpleteazer for her, being an orange catlike thing, but there’s a character limit that means I’d have to drop several letters to make it fit. Hmm

Oh! How about instead, because of her unusual coloration and determined glare, we go with Elphaba? It feels more fitting personality-wise, at least!

Oh FRICK yes

Damn we have a good team going already

(Elphy has an interesting ability, too!)

Man, yeah, sure enough, here’s a wild one of normal coloration. They must be uncommon enough that I didn’t run into any on my first couple passes through the route. But the first one being SHINY.... god

I’m sure the shiny rate is higher than in the canon games or something but STILL

ROUTE  ONE

ANYway...

I should train up a bit before I move the story forward any more. I’ll shoot for getting everyone to level... maybe 9? That sounds like a good safe number. I’ll end the first post here, then, and see you all with a battle-ready team!
