I was about halfway done with animating Popplio and Scorbunny when I realized, huh, wouldn’t it be cute if you could choose to play with wild Pokemon instead of just battling with them?

I keep forgetting that “hi I’m johnny knoxville and this is a ceaseless hell of our own making” isn’t like a big tumblr meme bc it’s a screenshot from mancrushes dot com that my friend sent me once that only we know about. That doesn’t stop me from saying it every day tho.

People seem to think that Microsoft Excel is a flawed program

Personally, I rate it October 10th.

happy to report that gen α is using ‘Elon Musk’ as a derogative as of recent

Absolutely horrid that a 10hr sleep does not cure you of all that ails you

Realized I hadn't actually posted a life update here in a hot second, oops. I've mostly been posting over on my Bluesky (tapucocoafgc over there if y'all would like to follow, shameless plug) and reserving this for shitposts, but it's been a good few months so here goes

I'll be real, 2025 has not been kind so far. As a bisexual woman dating another woman, having to keep a closer eye on the news than ever before due to *gestures vaguely at who's in charge* is fucking awful, but I know I don't need to be the one to say that. Quite bluntly, I don't know if my living situation is going to be the same this time next year or even six months from now. There's so much happening, both personally and in the world, and it's a lot to sort through.

Despite that, I've been focusing more on myself and trying to sort myself out. Been getting more into my local FGC scene and focusing more on Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Learning is a rough process for me due to both haha funny neurodivergence and trauma related to that process. But I'm doing my best to remember I'm in a safe spot in life now and no one worthwhile is going to yell at me if I don't instantaneously understand the thing. I've also been trying to rekindle my offline Pokken scene since I do still love that game and always will. Got my partner and my two best friends here to help me with it and it's always fun to play FGs with homies.

Getting older also fucking sucks because yippee, I've developed sciatica in my right side. Wasn't sure about it since it technically started around this time last year, but it went away for several months, returning in November in the form of a weird ache in my upper right leg. In the time since, it's progressed to my knee and my lower back, which is how I figured out it was sciatica. Of course we're not about self diagnosis in this house, so I reserved real judgment on it until I could make an appointment. Which I did... in February... and had to still wait two months. Because what's actually having good healthcare when you're unemployed, amirite fellas? Apparently it's genetic too so that's great. Thankfully I finally got my appointment in last week and so I'm on track to getting it treated after months of pain. It's already feeling less bad (knock on wood) so hopefully that trend continues. To that end, I've been trying to stay active too. It's not the most strenuous thing but I've managed to cobble together a proper exercise regimen and I'm honestly proud of myself for that level of self discipline. Keeping a routine is fucking hard but we in there.

Somewhat on that note, and as the final point for this behemoth of a post, I've been trying to get back on writing on a regular schedule. Putting words together continues to be the most difficult yet most rewarding hobby of mine. I highly doubt this is going to end up being anything more than a passion project, but I'm okay with that to be completely honest. Not every passion has to be monetized to hell and back, imagine that. I started writing this particular story while I was in college in 2013, and even over a decade later I'm still plugging away at it because this world and these characters still have a hold on me and a soft spot in my heart. It's been turbo slow going but I still want to tell this story. In these times of trying to maintain some level of optimism against the bullshit of the world, I think the theme of the story is appropriate. And it's been a good reminder for me too.

This came out to be a lot longer than I expected oops so if anyone actually read this far, you're a real one, stay safe out there and ily

where's that masterpost of quotes that have no right going as hard as they do. I'd like to submit "Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane"

[tapucocoafgc]

the way being employed keeps you from video games and other various activities is so sick. genuinely demonic

[tapucocoafgc]

"i would die for you" this, "i would kill for you" that. what about "i would live for you" what about i would smile for you, find joy in small things for you, i would endure, hope, survive, thrive for you. i would dive head first into this unknown, terrifying inkwell known as existence for you.

the creators struggle of "yes I absolutely made this for myself and I should absolutely appreciate that I made this thing that turned out amazing and be proud of it on that merit alone" vs "man it'd be cool if everyone liked this thing I made as much as I do"

Why WOULD I pay for tumblr premium when I get quality ads like this???
