To celebrate the beginning of the Johto Enjoyer Community (or the JEC), we're starting off strong with a bingo card!

Unlike many other bingos, each square has a task instead of a prompt. The goal here is to encourage everyone to participate in a part of the fandom they might not otherwise---artists can try their hand at writing, fic writers can figure out how to organize moodboards, board creators can practice their drawing skills, and so on! But don't worry, all the minimum requirements (listed at the bottom of this post) are very low, so every task should be accessible to every person regardless of skill level or circumstance!

There's even a prize: a free full-body illustration like styled like Kris above for any pokemon/character (not just within the Pokemon universe) of your choosing, drawn by yours truly! Of course, you can join in without going for the prize, but in order to be eligible, take a look below...

The Rules:

The winner of this event will be chosen by raffle. Every confirmed bingo will earn you one raffle entry. That means that the more bingos you complete, the higher chance you'll have of winning!

To get a bingo, you must complete the tasks of five squares in a row, horizontally or vertically (not diagonally). Each bingo must have five original attempts, even if you've already covered a square in a previous bingo. All task attempts must be centered around Johto in some way, though mentioning other regions is by no means strictly prohibited.

To submit a bingo to the form, you must upload an image of your bingo marked on the card provided below. Then for each task, you can provide either an image (required for the Leave Some Love task) of your attempt or a link to where you've posted it online. You can only submit one bingo per form. Once I've confirmed your bingo, I'll add your entry to the raffle pool!

Not every task attempt has to be posted for the world to see. If you're feeling shy about a particular task, it's perfectly acceptable to submit it directly to the form---remember, you can post privately on Tumblr and no one will be able to see it unless you share the link! However, if you do decide to share it publicly, please use the tag #jec kickoff bingo.

You do not have to be a member of the community to play---This event is open to everyone!

The submission form will close at 2:00 AM CST on March 17th, so you only have two weeks as of posting to participate in the raffle!

Submit your bingo through this link!

The Categories:

(don't worry, all you really need to read here is the colored text. all the plain text is just examples to serve as a jumping-off point!)

Leave Some Love - compliment a blog/piece of work! Try leaving a nice comment under a Tumblr post, other social media posts, or even an AO3 work. Feeling a bit shy? Anonymously message someone who posts regularly about Johto. If you're brave, you might make a public call-out post targeting your some underrated people in the community (as a whole, not just the JEC). There's no one way to do it, but do try to be genuine about your compliments! It's no fun for anyone if you just say is "hey i like your stuff" and leave it at that. Please be mindful of how you submit your compliments---images are required for this task. Also, I can only confirm anon asks before they've been sent.

Draft a Drabble - write a fanfic that is at least 100 words long. For those not in the know, a drabble is a piece of fiction that is exactly 100 words long. Though, it's not a strict definition, as some drabbles may be a little more or a little less. Any subject is allowed as long as it's a creative story---you could write about an event, for example---so don't worry about limiting yourself to characters if that's not your thing!

Dig in the Details - write an analysis on any topic of your choosing. Want to pick apart a character's personality based on their manga dialogue? We'd love to hear it! Got an idea for the best possible competitive team using all Johto pokemon? Go for it! Just really need an excuse to complain about why the level curve is so bad? We've all been there! An essay would likely be the easiest way to do this, but there's no singular best method---you could even make a powerpoint presentation if you wanted!

Pick a Pocket Monster - choose any pokemon to discuss! Whether its your overall favorite, a particular partner you had on one of your playthroughs, or even your most expensive trading card, we want to hear everything that makes this pokemon stand out to you over the rest.

Doodle a Darling - draw a pokemon, character, item, location, or any other subject of your choosing. Drawings do not have to be full illustrations (though they certainly can be), nor is skill/quality a point of judgement here. If you feel like going the extra mile, you could even explain why you chose your particular subject!

Curate a Collection - create a compilation of media based on a certain subject. This might be a moodboard, collage, pinterest board, music playlist, fic rec, or even a gif set! Please keep in mind that as per our community's rules, you may not use any fanworks that you have not created yourself. Make sure to credit the sources of other pieces of media when appropriate.

Fix it with Fanon - share a headcanon/theory/etc. you enjoy! You might know how to fill a plothole from the manga, have an idea on how to fix a weird game mechanic, want to share your favorite AU, or even have a fakemon you designed just for Johto. As long as it's a fandom-original idea, it'll fit the bill!

Convince the Crowd - try to persuade everyone to agree with you on a certain topic! Maybe there's a pokemon type you believe trumps all others, or maybe you're really passionate about which movie it the best. You can also reply to points other people have made if you have an opposing view. Whatever you choose, be respectful when making your argument!

Knicks and Knacks - make an arts-and-crafts project themed around a topic of your choosing. The sky's the limit here---you could try your hand at little accessories like bracelets or pins, cobble together a short zine, make a paper doll, design cool profile icons or web stamps, stitch together an edit or meme, put on some cosplay, and so much more! As long as it's something you made with your own hands (so to speak), anything goes.

Script a Scenario - portray a situation using a medium other than standard illustration/writing. This could include playscripts, comics, texting fics, or even the photo booth feature in Pokemas! If you need to give a short written description to clarify what's going on, that's fine, but it shouldn't be the star of the show.

Free Space - Choose any of the above categories to complete!

The Minimum Requirements:

Images/GIFs - 500x500 px

Writing - 5-6 sentences or ~75 words

Moodboards/Pinterest Boards - 5 images

Collages - 5 main elements (not including minor decorations)

Playlists - 3 songs with a short explanation each

Fanfiction Recs - 3 works with a short explanation each

Made it through all that and still have questions? Feel free to leave them down in the comments and they'll be answered as soon as possible!

Good luck everyone, and mostly importantly, have fun!

Collage for Falkner and his owl Pokemon.

I made this collage on Canva. All the Pokemon images were found on Bulbagarden. The feather PNGs and the background were free images found on Canva.

This is for "Curate a Collection" for the Johto Enjoyers Kickoff Bingo.

So my four year old's persuasion skill is developing, and she has learned to change her approach when asking for something she anticipates I will say no to. That is, instead of asking for it, she comes up to me and opens with, "Mom, I have a great idea." and then proceeds to lead me to the thing she wants before asking for it.

Finch Rambles: Umbreon

Umbreon is by far one of my favorite Johto Pokemon, so here are some things that make it stand out to me!

Solid design right there. I love its glow-in-the-dark rings, whether it's the regular or the shiny version.

Its non-shiny version is colored similarly to the European Fire Salamader, an amphibian with poison glands behind its eyes. (In the Dex entry for Pokemon Gold, it's stated that Umbreon can spray poison when it gets agitated.)

Its cry is really cute. It sounds like a cat meowing, or at least going "Mrrrrp?"

Friendship evolution! I like the whole idea behind this, since strength isn't everything when it comes to training Pokemon. Sometimes it's more important to have a deep bond with your Pokemon, and Umbreon is a good example.

In games:

I have a shiny Umbreon in Pokemon Go, which I named Ingo. (Yes, after the Pokemon BW character. I also have a non-shiny Jolteon named Emmet.)

I also have two non-shiny Umbreon in Go as well: Nico (named after Nico di Angelo from the Percy Jackson series) and Diana (named after the Roman counterpart of Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt).

I've been playing Pokemon Legends Arceus for the past few months, and one of the strongest members of my current team is a female Umbreon named Luna (from the Latin word for "moon"). It's rather hard to catch female Eevees (since the gender ratio is mostly male), so I was really lucky to get Luna.

Headcanons:

I imagine Umbreon to be sort of like house cats when it comes to their sleep schedule: meaning they're most active in the evenings and at night. During the day, they'll often take catnaps.

Nocturnal Pokemon= 3 AM zoomies.

In the wild, Umbreon (and Espeon) evolve by having a strong bond with another Pokemon. Usually it's another member of the Eevee family, but it can be any other species as well.

Why Clean Cars Matter in Club Racing Championships

In the movie Days of Thunder, the character Harry Hogge told his driver “he didn’t slam you, he didn’t bump you, he didn’t nudge you… he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin’.” In the world of NASCAR the rubbing and nudging is pretty much the norm. Cars are running in close proximity with no chicanes or tight corners where braking and acceleration provide an opportunity to overtake, so a…
