IT'S SLOWHOG - IT'S THE BOY

Slowhog is a gag fakemon whose stats are bad and movepool is bad and is bad. I love him. His lore is that he's highly edible, slow and weak. A slug/pig that recovers from steak being carved off it without issue. I want a plushie of him. The shiny version of him is green.

I decided he needed to be explored in every way and typed him out like an eeveelution. 

Porkpast was well received.

I know I did well when people pointed to each one and said it was slept on. Google 'Velvet Worm' and 'Sea pig'.

Having done all the types I moved onto Pre-evolutions.

Brekkie won hands down, I'm sorry P-Flop lovers but there you are. It's shiny would also be green. The Progress of: Brekkie -> Slowhog -> Porkpast is the correct line as it's: Breakfast -> Lunch -> Digestion Digestion is also Dinner but lunch is haunting you.

The Hogly Trinity

The Devs mentioned adding a new 'Strange' Type in the next update, which gave me something to new Hog with

This satisfied me at the time.

Running out of Hogs to Pork Post with I moved on to special forms. His Oinks will save us from the Kaiju.

Lack of new Hog made me plyable in my morals and I made meme material with him.

'Hogchamp' is now a server emote.

At this point someone in the discord posted a Slowhog made in SPORE which I grasped onto as a new hog to draw. I was grateful for this.

Next came Pride Month, which is a time we draw Slowhog.

Obviously. This is Pridehog and it's shiny version. You did not need me to tell you this.

It had been a while since I had hogged. I awoke from a dream about pork and sketched this out on a loose sheet of Clipstudio raster layer I had laying next to my bed. This is a sound type, I think. I imagine hell sounds like this at all times, except when you say something embarrassing, at which point it all cuts out and everyone looks at you condescending.

hink honk, honk, hinkhink honk - it went I tried to ignore it but the next dream told me I was 'needed'. I woke up uncomfortable and bussed into to the Sex Factory, where I work. My eyes were bleary after my shift (which I can't describe due to Tumblr's tos) and I stared at one of those bus seat patterns like you remember from school trips. I thought I was going mad. I took a picture.

"Do you see this?" I asked the tall and busty woman who kept dropping her keys and saying whoops and bending over in front of me. The other woman who had her keys on a loop through her jeans kept staring at her, assumably in dismay at her lack of practical key handling. "Huh?" She said. "Sorry about my keys they-" I snapped my fingers rudely (I was scared) "Do you see that Pink pattern on the bus seats?" She looked confused and dropped her keys again. "No? They're fully blue." I looked back at the seats, they were fully blue. The picture on the digital camera I carry with me as an ironic anachronism displayed the slowhog pattern in full. I got off the bus and decided to draw some details on the Slowhog Evolutions.

You can also get Porkpast by inflating Hogone enough. You can't inflate Porkpast though, he's a ghost.

I felt refreshed, cleansed. But also a touch greasy. I had another dream, but this time the dream creature was a dog who spoke in polish and I realised I was just unhealthily sleep deprived.

Thank you for reading.

Why not download Pokemon Quarantine Crystal for SameBoy or other good Emulators? Perhaps join the discord too. It's fun.

This has most definitely been said before, but we were robbed of the core four quarantining on-screen together at Buck’s place. ROBBED I say

The first part of Quarantine is so interesting, especially in regards to Rimmer and Kryten's relationship. Rimmer is very defensive and hostile towards Kryten in those beginning scenes, and there's a clear reason for it. According to the hierarchy of the Space Corps, and the hierarchy Kryten himself adheres to, he, as a mechanoid, is still the being in the lowest position, with the least rights. While Rimmer may appear officially as "less" than a human, his hologramatic status is still higher than Kryten's. Rimmer, due to his attitude, his personality, all his flaws, is an easy target, but he tries to retaliate by making Kryten into one as well and asserting his authority over him through that hierarchy. It doesn't work, obviously; Lister considers each crew member's personhood as valid, and The Cat has no interest in such a structure. However, it's still a notable move on Rimmer's part, the characteristic way he lashes out when he feels his autonomy, his authority, his being threatened (his existence may be at stake, after all, if the others are considering shutting him off for Doctor Lanstrom).

But I think there's more to it than just that. Of course, this is the episode after Terrorform, which could definitely contribute to Rimmer's behavior here. This counts for all three of them, but what I think is interesting is how that incident might have impacted his view of Kryten specifically. One of Rimmer's negative emotions/traits defeated by the personified positive ones is Mistrust, with Rimmer believing at that point in his crewmates' display of affection towards him. He believes they are telling the truth. He believes that they are genuine. He is disillusioned by their blunt denial right before the episode ends, a pretty harsh betrayal of Rimmer's trust. They lied to him. Kryten, incapable of lying when he was first reconstructed by Lister, was involved in this lie. Perhaps when Rimmer remarks- with such a strong amount of bitterness- that Kryten has changed, he's thinking of that. Maybe Rimmer, a man always afraid that any good thing will be taken away from him, that acts of kindness are suspect, had felt rather assured by Kryten's initial inability to deceive. Now that he has proven himself as capable as the others of lying, he's a bit more upset with him over the rest of them, and he acts accordingly.

I'm personally blaming @starbiology and everyone who has reblogged or commented the other piece for this.

Bonus comic featuring my grundo:

how to explain to your parents that you can't move back in with them because every time you're near them a big part of you buries itself and you're not sure how long that part can stay buried before its hidey hole becomes its grave?

...without offending them, of course

The goddess Hera is jealous. (Or at least described as such. I think it’s pretty reasonable to be annoyed that your husband keeps chasing after everything under the sun, even if she punishes the wrong people for it.) Hera the AI doesn’t have a lot of opportunities to be jealous, but she’s insecure, dislikes being left out, and is resentful of the others’ ability to leave her behind, so I think she’d be a natural. My brother is the family cat’s favorite, and the first time he came home from college with his partner our cat was furious and sulked in front of the door every time they were in a room together. I can see Hera reacting similarly. Dominik is trying to catch up with his wife while a powerful superintelligence broods overhead about it. She tells him not to worry about it but he’s kind of intimidated.

sometimes.. my in laws.. aggravate me..

[imwritesometimes]

my brother every time he gets sick: don't come near me I don't want you to get sick throw shit into my room for me like I'm a wild animal at the zoo

me playing along every time despite the fact that we live in a pretty small house and it's almost impossible not to get one another sick but I appreciate the gesture: hucks tissues into his room like a steak into the lion enclosure at feeding time

[joshoconnaissance]

At some point this blog passed the amount of followers my old blog with the 400,000 note post had. That's a weird feeling.

[boyfeminism]
