#its a conundrum

the only thing i hate more than things staying the same day in and day out forever and ever and ever without respite is change

Alright, should for sure be finished translating this story by tomorrow, finally, this one made me feel like an idiot from the first page up to the last page

Of course, after that, I have a lot of cleanup to do because I made a LOT more mistakes working through this one than I did the last one so I'm not free yet

Of course, maybe I'm so eager to move on because the next story is the horny one that may or may not involve a medicine vendor fan club and I'm sorry but that sounds like too much fun to resist

What is Resident Evil even about, because I've watched a few YouTube videos and so far what I'm getting is... evil corporation that deals in zombie apocalypses

Sometimes, as a writer, you've got to ask yourself some hard questions. Like, how many times can I throw knives at this poor guy.

the nidhogg gijinka masterpost has been getting notes for the past couple days so just as an FYI I'm currently busy grinding moogle tomestones on my main and primary alt so he's currently hibernating and having sweet dreams of burning elezen

yeah i can absolutely understand wanting to engage with people that are behaving ignorantly to try to educate and reach out! i just personally feel that on social media, the chance at those potential benefits isn't outweighed by the amount of harm they do by having free reign to harass people. like, i know i can take it, but i know other people can't, and i report hate speech with them in mind. in person i'm a lot more likely to try to gently engage people if i don't feel i'm in danger, but i've stopped trying online personally. i tried for a long time and all i managed to do was wear myself out and make myself very sad lol. not at all trying to pressure you to change your perspective, just explaining why i do what i do! i respect you very much for having the patience to continue to try to engage with them. stay safe! 💙

Tbh, you would know better than I probably. Part of the idea behind my post was to show why even in mostly supporting areas that trans women can be vilified in a lot of uncomfortable ways.

Perhaps the coward in me is showing again in trying to converse and appease and wear myself out on people who don't care about me. I'm gonna sleep on this and consider the benefits of your approach some more.

Normalize randomly reaching out to old internet friends you slowly drifted away from just to tell them you still care because they meant a lot to you.

shy puppysubs that are too embarrassed to ask their doms to help them when they're in heat so they just whimper and whine while tugging on their dom's clothes, hoping that their dom will take pity on their pathetic state and use them without making them use their words to say what they want

I was trying to vaguely imagine what a Hisuian regional form time capsule made by Akari/Rei (and maybe Ingo too if he learns about the extinctions) might look like. My brain decided “actually no, don’t make it vague, draw the time capsule exactly” and then held me hostage and wouldn’t let me focus on anything else until I did so.

Notes under the cut:

A time capsule put together by the future folk who got stuck in Hisui, hoping that the DNA samples inside will survive a couple hundred years and make it to the future to be resurrected like the fossil pokémon are. Also included are traditionally made pokéballs, due to the assumption that there’s probably very few surviving ones and that archaeologists would love them, along with 2 books left with the intent of preserving knowledge that’d likely been forgotten. The items are all in individually padded compartments.

Based on the tech in Galaxy Hall, I’m assuming the Galaxy Team has the means to forge (or order from overseas?) a metal container that is watertight (and hopefully airtight as well). Idk a lot about time capsule construction, but their hope is that they create a container that’ll prevent the decay of the more fragile items in the box. Or at least hold the decay off long enough for the capsule to be opened.

List of Items:

Decidueye feather, fur from Typhlosian’s tail, fur from Samurott’s ‘whiskers’

Black Augurite, carapace sheds from Kleavor and Scyther

Peat Block, fur from Ursaluna, Ursaring, and Teddiursa

Quills from Qwilfish and Overqwill

Dried petals from Lilligant and a dried leaf from Petilil

Feathers from Rufflet and Braviary

Rock fragment from Avalugg

Bottles of slime from Goomy, Sliggoo, and Goodra

Fur from Zorua and Zoruark

Scales from male and female Basculin, as well as male and female Basculegion

Fragments from Voltorb and Electrode (naturally lost during self-destructs?)

Sneasel and Sneasler fur

Wyrdeer fur and a fragment of a shed antler, Stantler fur

Growlithe and Arcanine fur

Full set of pokéballs and the tumblestones they’re made from

A first edition Hisuian Pokédex

A book of notes on all the items in the box; it lists the items and their usage, as well as notes on the care and evolution requirements of the pokémon represented.

*Samples from native non-regional forms are included, just in case the pokémon are genetically different enough in the future that they truly cannot evolve into these Hisuian forms even with the items and knowledge to do so. (Does not include Bergmite. Most of Bergmite is just normal ice. Idk where it keeps its DNA)

I know everyone likes the "Fenton parents are dead/evil" route to drive Danny to Gotham, but I propose: "the Fenton parents have to send Danny away to keep him safe/cut off contact (since they're technically contracted to the government and the GIW is the definition of shady and spies)"

[anxiously-sidequesting]

hear me out. Ambrose (derogatory) could have been such a good character if he was *actually old* (no that party city beard ain't fooling me).

Like from the beginning it could have been "I'll show him- threatening a new student before orientation, no less- ACK, oof, my back!"

And YW would have been like "Nah don't worry about it old man, I'll fight that Mall staircase or whoever for you. But first let's get you to bed, you haven't taken your meds today."

Like it could've been such a great dynamic between a guy who's knowledgeable and truly wants to help but is way past his prime, and the young apprentice who has no idea what's going on at any given time but is "yeah this dude will 100% keel over from trying to take on the weight of the spiral if I leave him alone for two seconds so I'll knock some heads for him. I like knocking heads anyway >:D"

First off I absolutely love "Ambrose (derogatory)" I'm gonna get that tattooed on my body /j

AND SO LIKE IM KINDA LIKE 🤔 AT THIS SCENARIO (not you anon your idea is absolutely lovely, just thinkin hard about this) BECAUSE LIKE. OKAY HERE'S MY THOUGHT PROCESS

I guess it would be cool to have a YW who instead seems eager and willing to fulfill the role of the Savior instead of dreading it (and it would give a bit of a different face to their relationship mentor/mentee with Ambrose) buuuuuut like in the case that Ambrose is really too old to deal with things himself, instead of whatever reason he doesn't do things in canon, he could always just like find a capable and prepared adult to deal with the nationwide threat of Malistaire INSTEAD of the new kid who's eager to fight

AND THIS ISNT ME DISSING ON YOU ANON I LOVED YOUR IDEA. Like instead of seeing the YW unhappy and resentful and trudging along doing dangerous stuff it's interesting and cool to see where in an alternate universe the YW immediately takes to being a hero and loves the action and does it FOR Ambrose, not just because he told them to. I think that would be very cute if it like, removed the actual issue that Ambrose is still relying on an ill-prepared child to do his work. Whether in canon where the YW is urged to follow Ambrose after Malistaire, or if Ambrose falters and then the YW rushes in to beat his minions up instead, it's still on the Young Wizard to clean up this very adult mess. If this scenario continues on just like canon, the Wizard still ends up being Bartleby's Scion with a tainted Shadow Soul and heaps and heaps of trauma. It just started out a little differently

I HOPE IM NOT SCARING YOU ANON IM NOT SCOLDING YOU IM JUST ANALYZING THIS (please don't be sad I love you anon ty for sending this). Please feel free to send me more of this if you like because it's really interesting tbh. I really.hope I didn't scare you off with this HASKDNDRLSJSJ this was a great ask

True Tales of the Illuminati Season 3 IS FULLY FUNDED!!!

Good News, everyone!

Our listeners have blown us away and we have made our 9k funding goal for a third five-episode season of True Tales of the Illuminati, a audio comedy about over-worked, underpaid stooges of the illuminati and their bizarre, pathetic failures to change history as we know it.

There's four new minisodes up on the feed for your listening enjoyment--including Tom Crowley’s (Wooden Overcoats, Victoriocity) The Quibblerman Conundrum, a love letter to 50s sci-fi about an intrepid scientist awakening a ‘terrifying secret’ from ‘space’--which will hopefully tide you over until we release our third season, which will not be about space, but rather, about the Enlightenment. What will Beck, Jackie and Ishmael do when they're exposed to a decadent world of philosophy and monographs? Certainly, they wouldn't prefer reading books, drinking in greenhouses and kissing to a life of meaningless propaganda and drudgery… would they?

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to the crowdfund. Our show is, frankly, lavishly produced for something of its size and we don't run ads--everything we make is 100% listener supported. If you like fast-paced, stupid comedy described as "Inside Job meets The Emperor's New Groove" (Inside Job fact: we were first) we hope you'll give us a listen.

Alright, that’s enough from us, thanks for tolerating all of our posting here this month, and a million thanks to those of you who saw our pleas and decided to support us. We’ll see you soon.

Illuminati, Ollominoto, The True Tales Team
