IF YOU (OR ANY OTHERS AFFLICTED BY THE "eebydeeby" PHENOMENON) REQUIRE ANY ASSISTANCE WITH ANYTHING, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.

Oh yeah! Uh, I might ask you to make a TM dropoff trip if I can get a list of moves the group chat are interested in, and uhh,

I need an alolan shirt,

a captains hat,

Checkerboard socks

[Generalized Description: Lily has posted multiple images and a single video, all in a slightly odd room. The floor's got an arcade-carpet rug on the floor, an odd Kamen Rider poster on the wall, and a dog a little ways behind her. Ah, that's @that-dog-in-him, mugging shyly for the camera.

But the real star of the show (and all the uploaded files) is the buizel, who's wearing an INCREDIBLY well-crafted cosplay of the Champion, Cynthia. Wig, dress, all the accessories, everything. Sure, it looks a touch silly on a weasel instead of a human body, but the craftsmanship is such that it still like, Works.

Each of the photos has the buizel in a different pose, some simple, some cute, and some specifically evoking certain poses the real champion has taken. One, seemingly taken after most of the main photoshoot, has Lily directly leaning on Dai, paw lifted towards the camera in a bad, thumbless approximation of a peace sign. In this last shot, the buizel's eyes are a little red around the edges. Was she just crying?

The video itself is quite short and lacks audio, seemingly perfectly cropped to only show off the buizel doing the best recreation of one of Cynthia's Iconic Introductions.

End Description.]

@legendsobsessions I'm fucking adorable? Uh! Thank you? Also thanks again and shoutout to Dai @that-dog-in-him for making this cosplay for me and also like, helping me find the poses and stuff, I'm gonna hafta like. Find a bunch more to ask him to make for cosplay, maybe some regular clothes too. Dai is so good, guys. Sleeper hit, GOTY (Guy of the Year)

Um, Lily?

This is stupid

You were trans before being eebied, right?

Yes! I was trans the whole time.

The big thing that happened upon getting turned into a buizel is I no longer had to go about any of the garbo healthcare processes to get HRT. Uh, that's, I don't remember the exact words but basically taking hormones for gender. But if I get turned into a buizel with the right bits to match my gender, then I don't need to take meds for it.

@skating-mienfoo-fiend

Sweet!! I bet wearing this outfit to the skate shop will help with finding the right board for the fit.

Then explain king crimson's ability.

So you know how Dio's actual stand ability isn't known until we properly meet him, and before that he copies Joseph's stand ability once or twice?

And you know how, when we first meet Rohan, and he's effectively acting as a sort of villain, he has to have people perceive an image he's drawn in order to activate his powers, which allows for our protagonist to defeat him through the power of "blind rage", but when he effectively becomes part of the quirky cast of sidekicks, he can just walk up to someone and tap them to do it, and there's never an explanation for that in the text of the show?

And you know how, now that the show has been animated, instead of having to rely on the still image panels, they're able to better emphasize the way the power works through the visual storytelling?

SPOILERS FOR PART 5

King Crimson's power effectively allows him to erase a small segment of time, in which everyone acts the way they would have given the information they had, but are unable to perceive Diavolo, who, within that erased time, can effectively move and act without impediment. When the narrative calls for it, he might have various limitations, all of which make sense for the baseline power's concept if you don't look at them too hard or try to form a perfectly coherent power set.

When a character is aware of his presence, his power seems more limited, such as in his standoff with Polnareff, where he has to make up for his inability to directly attack while within the erased time,

and yet later when the gang's trying to deal with Freaky Friday shenanigans Diavolo's able to kill someone within erased time very directly, because it makes for a dramatic and awful reveal that the villain is secretly still there, hiding among them.

Or when he's able to cut off a character's hand much earlier in the story because it makes for the dramatic panel/camera reveal that the hand Bruno is holding is no longer connected to someone, and somehow, an entire person was kidnapped out of a moving elevator.

At any given point, a stand's powers have flexibility based on the situation presented to the user and the viewer in the narrative; this is most notable in times when the villain hasn't been wholly introduced or as part of surprise reveals, such as with Dio and Diavolo, or with other discrepancies in powers across the story. These powers aren't beholden to having consistency, they just feel like it because characters are constantly explaining those powers as part of trying to assist with the artistic limitations of having Wild Bonkers Shit happen on comic panels.
