We Are All Pokemon Trainers Discussion

Man those are stylish.

Also on an unrelated note, I'm tired of waiting for my home Internet to get fixed, so I'm just gonna post on my phone like in the old days. Do note that this is going to make me 1) slow to respond due to formatting on a phone being helaciously hard, and 2) will be very easily distracted due to Youtube. Also, no chat. Which means PM's are going to be very useful in the future.

Good to have you back, Dune!

I'll send you some PMs regarding Pokesona.

I made a spreadsheet compiling all the information on Trainer Classes that I figured might be helpful. I thought I'd share just in case anyone could use it.

I don't normally ask, but please like and reblog if it's helpful. I want the resource to become well-known so that people can make good use of it.

FINALLY have some time to say:

:D :D :D

UMBRA THEY'RE GREAT

Felt you'd like them, especially one in particular that is very red. o3o

And did you notice the relevant Shout-Out in the oneshot if you managed any time to read that too? :P

Will punt to Pokemon blog once I get on lappy in a sec. :P

Bit late in the bandwagon, but who would be the mascots for my characters/in general?

Senshi for Jason, Uta for Maria, Hugo for Lane, and Bitterroot for Iggy.

Unfortunately, I didn't do much more than glance over them. I'll PM you why I was so busy yesterday

If Dogs is reading this, he'll be pleased to know I'm planning on introducing a Neo-Illusion character at some point! I'm just not sure whether it'd be better to introduce them right now (figuratively speaking), or wait until NI are more relevant.

Guys! I finally finished Chapter 47 of Reflecting Balance!

Read it here or here.

Woo! Annnd yet more incentive to get through that read-and-review backlog. @_@

(Though, random question, how many chapters do you think you have to go?)

Double post because...

DS

YOU REVIEWED MY ONESHOT I POSTED EARLIER

THANK YOU SO MUCH :D

You're welcome!

As for how many chapters are left of Reflecting Balance, I can't really say. I'm not really sure. However, I do feel at this point that I'm about 2/3rd's through the story. Probably.

With an assemblage of P Cs like that, this certainly is going to be interesting. :P Pity I'm probably missing most of it. >_>

(On that note sorry again for giving you a hard time for mistakingly thinking you were giving Meddler a hard time.)

Looks nice, to bad I joined a bit too late, well maybe the next time.

Sorry for being MIA all weekend, been sick off my ass. I swear eventually I'll get my computer and my body up and running again.

No worries, life happens. Sorry to hear you've been sick though, hope you feel better soon!

Feel better Psyche!

-snuggles Psyche-

Get better soon~

OK, so bad news and good news on the wild, untamed, Tumblr frontier.

Bad News

OK, so I was binging someone else's Tumblr, namely Bitters', because I saw she reblogged Audrey's Robin pic but was unable to get a permalink and wanted to see if there were any silly tags or comments or anything, so eventually started sifting through until I found it (sadly there weren't any comments or tags of the sort), and while I saw plenty of silly things I wound up reblogged I did also stumble upon one seemingly-innocuous thing that wound of setting off a pretty bad anxiety attack (Bitters this is not your fault KEEP READING). Given A. this is hardly the first time something like this has happened binging someone else's Tumblr, and B. I've been avoiding my actual dashboard like hell since last July for related reasons, I figured I'd set my Tumblr Anxiety Trigger Avoidance Rules in stone here:

• If you reblog anything related to me or my characters, please send me a permalink via Pidgin IM, TVT PM, Tumblr IM, whatever. Or tag me in your reblog (@umbrahighpriestofgiratina or @umbramatic). If I notice you haven't done so in the notes I'll message you.

• As for other posts, I've been mostly looking at and liking/reblogging more innocuous/fun/silly things other people link me rather than checking my dashboard since last July, and would prefer to keep doing so, since browsing other people's blogs has an unfortunate chance to set me off really badly. As for what's OK and what isn't to link me to...
  • Anything going pretty deep/heavy into the sociopolitical/social justice side of things has a high tendency to set me off for a very wide variety of reasons, so just try to avoid that stuff period; I have a genral policy of never reblogging anything SP/SJ anymore anyway.

  • On a more general note, anything involving bashing/mocking/demeaning/etc. of LITERALLY ANYTHING has a tendency to set me off (the thing that set me off tonight was actually tongue-in-cheek, but it had the misfortune of tying into a subject that REALLY sets me off in the malice department) thanks to both anxiety and what I've grown to believe about the nature of hate, so keep whatever you send me more lighthearted and good-spirited in tone. tl;dr if you just throw me things heavily lacking in toxicity/mean-spiritedness/general negativity you should be good. I happen to generally avoid reblogging that stuff too.

Sorry I have to be like this, but my anxiety's bad enough I have multiple panic attacks a day, and they often get bad enough that I sink into very deep emotional lows and/or feel actual physical pain in the form of gut cramps, so I'm forced to minimize exposure to what feeds into that.

On a much more positive note...

The Good News

I'm doing the Pokemon Challenge!

...That was pretty vauge, wasn't it. I meant this one.

Yep, I'll be posting a special Pokemon-themed post every day on my Pokemon Tumblr (umbrahighpriestofgiratina) until the 27th, when I'll be posting something extra-special I've been planning a long while that conveniently fits the challenge! I've already done Day 1 and used something else as a themed "teaser" for Day 15 I think you guys will like; spot who's who. I'll do Day 2 later today when I get more rest (especially as even before this I was doing a thing like this of my own on Facebook).

Also, I miiiiiiiight be collaborating with someone from outside WAAPT for something really trolly regarding one day of the challenge, but we'll see. >:3

Well, should you feel like checking it out, my tumblr blog should be pretty harmless, I'd think.

I mostly just talk about shows/games I'm currently interested in, try to advertise my fanfic and occasionally reblog things I either find interesting or amusing. Since I sometimes use the internet as a distraction for how awful the world can be, I generally try to maintain a cheerful online persona.

Ditto, at least these days.

I don't always reblog political/sj stuff but I'll keep in mind to tag you.

Oh I tend to reblog social justice stuff so I will start tagging things! But right now most things I reblog will be musical theatre related. XD
