I just need to spread the word about this:

The Stratos Project in Utah. Kevin O’Leary has gotten his stupid 40,000 acre data center approved, for Box Elder, near the Great Salt Lake.

There is still time to overturn this. Why is it so important? The linked article will explain it, but TL;DR:

- It will DEVASTATE the community and the lake, when Utah is already in a record high drought.

- It will consume an egregious amount of water daily, emitting a catastrophic amount of heat.

-This will in turn deplete the town of its resources and alienate people from their jobs, while it claims to allow more to be made.

-If the lake dries up, it will release arsenic into the air and pollute the town of Box Elder.

-This will undo YEARS of strides against Climate Change. We are at a point where we are transitioning away from Fossil Fuels, into clean sustainable energy. Do NOT let this pass.

File a formal protest, contact your states representatives and your county’s leaders and speak out against this to ensure we are heard. Take measures to protect your community and fight for Utah’s.

We can stop this, we can still win, there is hope.

You can donate to help, or if you live nearby you can sign and fight against this change. Do not think this ends here, this is the first battle of many, and do not think this won’t come for you. If we win here we show them they can’t push us around. We ALL have a voice, don’t let it stay silent!!!

Fuck AI.

I put alot of pressure on myself to do good here. I really do. I want to push myself, each post serves as practice to flex my writing skills and to further my art, develop my skills into something professional. I know it takes me awhile, but I love it.

I have no time or energy though to put into the blog, I’m so tired from work and life and burnout has hit me so hard right now. There’s other reasons burnout has hit me, part of it is irl and part of it is here online but I’ve been enjoying working in personal stuff. Plus my laptop is on the edge of combustion, and I worry for it lol. I’m working to get it replaced rn.

I just…Idk. I’ll be honest, I’ve thought about deleting this blog a few times in the past few months. I want to continue, but I have little energy to do so and no motivation to even want to right now. I’m still deawing but not here. Not right now. I’m on the verge of crashing out and I think I really need to avoid the community for awhile.

Happy PoGo Kalos Tour!!!!

He looks up, eyes scanning the new prescence before flicking back down at the bench he sat on. An exasperated sigh follows.

“Things here…it’s like they are expecting her to fail.” Zapdos shoots a glare towards the three brothers, who seem to be conversing amongst themselves.

“We are supposed to support our master’s through every event! Where is their loyalty?! It’s no wonder she cannot flourish because they didn’t give her the nutrients she needed!!” The static grows stronger, a huff from the thunderbird as his anger shows.

"Having a rough time?" he asked, his tone more gentle than usual. "Do you want to talk about it?"

“I suppose I wish I was more like him.” She speaks slow, quiet. “He is more of a god than I ever wish I could be.”

“Zekrom is…dutiful. Dilligent. He trained daily to ensure he was prepared the loment a fight should erupt. He wasn’t concerned by worldly desires. Only that our people were protected.”

“That their futures were protected.” A flicker of anger flashes through her eyes. “Perhaps that’s why we clashed so much I suppose. He was cold, and callous. I don’t know how many times I offered him respite or a jovial activity and the amount of times he scoffed. I was the one to bring him to bed. If not for my actions he would stay awake all night simply to train.”

A few moments pass. “But if I was more like him…maybe things would be different. After all, he was the one with the power to protect his region and triumph over Apura. His influence exists even now. What have I? Scraps of history and memories lost to a forgotten time.”

“How do I wish to face him-To stand against all he stands for when I am not his equal?” Her attention turns towards the trident in her palms. “Even my attendants doubt my abilities. There is nothing I can sway to change their opinion.”

"Everyone has their flaws... Even us legendaries... What I'm trying to say is... What is yours ? The things you dislike about yourself. Or that people dislike about you. Need to know those things! I am a jester after all."

It’s silent. The lady takes the question in, a slow shakey breath leaves her.

“My…flaws?” Her voice is unstable. “The things I doslike about myself…”

Moments pass before she looks up towards the night sky.

Quiet admissions are spoken into the cold air. “If I had been more- if I was stronger then-!” Sobs rake her small form, curling into itself defensively.

“He was right and I never listened! I should have trained instead of reading stupid books and making dumb daisy chains!” She pauses, catching her breath. “What kind of goddess cannot even fight for her people?!”

For a moment, her fervor dies.

This was supposed to be oisted yesterday but i got sidetracked lmao

But here she is! Like always I put alotta thought into how I interpret the pokemon designs, and I like getting things as accurate as possible! Wanted an elven/fae like feel to this since she is a fairy-type now!

Features include:

-Fairly like tulle sleeves on each arm! Colors may or may not shift slightly:)

- X’s like….everywhere. All over the place. She is the X pokemon after all haha

-Facial markings tie into the pokemon’s

-A crown with four points on each side and a jewel to represent the antlers, and look like a flower bud! The jewel changes color when in battle.

-A moon charm to harken back to the fairy types ties to the moon, and Geomancy!

-Lots of fluff!!!!! She wants to stay warm and cozy!!!

In the end I did her shiny palette and a normal palette. The shiny one is to mimic and call back to a snowy-deer and her albinism, so it’s what she would wear if she was a xerneas. In the end it reminds me alot of her og universe’s design haha so that’s fun. Considering this blog is an au for Reshi, her albinism stays no matter what she is.

A bit more personal huh! Ok let’s get into it.

I think one of my best habits is my productivity. Often times when I’m angry I find myself trying to channel that energy into something else. Sometimes its art, but most times it’s cleaning, cooking, or going to the gym and doing cardio until i’m tired lool. Spite is my greatest motivator and I use that to my advantage,,,or at least I try to!!

I think my worst habit though is not drinking enough water XD I tend to have alot of caffeine and energy drinks and soda through the day, and uhhhh it leads to aloooot of headaches. Very bad. Not good. I used to be better at it! But uh my job is very demanding and I have to be running at 100 almost every time I’m in there so…Now that I’m going to the gym regularly I’m trying to drink more water. It really dors help alot and sometimes my headaches tend to clear up after my body processes it. Drink water guys!! Don’t be like me LOL

What's a Pokémon you've come to appreciate more because of the Pokémon ask blog community? Perhaps one you've grown to like that you would've never considered before?

This is a good question omg, honestly though I can’t think of one immediately off the top of my head. I will say that I see and associate certain pokemon with certain people nowadays just from how often I’ve seen them around XD

Like I’ll see and Absol and while I’ve always loved it alot I think of Destino, or I’ll see Deoxys in smash brothers and think of Ask-Deoxys. Ho-oh as Zhen, so on and so forth haha. Just a few notible things.

Maybe a pokemon I’ve come to appreciate more is mew tbh. I never really had any initial feelings towards it before but after being in the community and seeing it so much I have a bit more of an affinity towards it 🤔 more ideas and see why people like it more. It’s a pretty cool mon, and a cutie to boot haha. I love seeing everyone’s different interpretations of it.

Which character did you have the hardest time designing for?

Oooo this is a good one! Honestly most of my characters tend to come together really quickly with about 1-3 hours of actuve working and designing. Normally I go in with an idea of how I want to design the pokemon as a Human and it works out pretty well!!

Honestly, Lugia was the hardest for me to design for!! Because of how sleek and simple the pokemon itself is, there wasn’t much for me to really get ideas for based off of it’s details! I remember texting my bff “Dude this is such a hard mon to design for” or something along those lines XD I referenced her Ho-Oh oc for ideas as well as the general vibes I wanted for him until I came up with a loose concept one night, which eventually became his design!

I try hard to reference the region’s inspired country too and wanted Lugia to fit in well with Johto well.

Ohooo this is interesting. Gotta get the gears turning.

So, let’s just say ONLY the pokemon were swapped, Reshi’s now a Zekrom and Zekrom is now Reshiram. It would change alot of the story’s premise but not the characters themselves I feel? Instead of the story taking place in Pokemon Black it would take place in Pokemon White where Black City is replaced with White Forest, Reshiram’s influence would have overtaken the region to be more traditional values instead of progressive etc. The goal for her then would be to try and inspire those around her to look towards the future, a future with pokemon and humanity working together, instead of uncovering lies and harking back to a traditional age like she does now.

But now, what if Zekrom and Reshi were PROPERLY swapped? She’s the one who won in the war and he’s the one who lost? She hasn’t been seen and instead you follow Zekrom in the beginning and learn his views and story as he uncovers the region. I feel like it would be a bit different and you would get to see a different side of their relationship as well as the region!! But that’s just me musing aloud haha

I got your other question dw haha. For a mortal pokemon disguise….

Reshi would be Volcarona or Togekiss

Tornadus would be Unfezant hands down

Thundurus would most likely be Emolga or Kilowattrel

Landorus is definitely an Excadrill 😭 heavy hitter

and finally Zapdos would be a Jolteon

I like to imagine they stay with pokemon exclusive to their region’s respective dex. So types would be a lil funky but it’s just a disguise so ;)

I thought about it!!! Honestly, I was debating on doing ine for Jet Set Radio Future cus of all the ideas I had for it, or one for Earthbound as like a post game Ness and crew in their early 20s and how they’ve gotten on in their day to day lives! Idk if I could do another one tho.

To help fill that void instead I’ve been making a small Jsrf comic on my other blog called Grace and Glory! It illustrates a bit more of my headcanons of the GG’s and Beat’s relationship with his team and father. I have plans to do a third comic page for it but I haven’t started to illustrate anything yet, just written out some dialogue for it!
