Everybody who whines that season 5 is coming in spring needs to stop being an entitled little prat and realize that animation takes a long goddamn time.

For the record, I'm not mad at anyone here, I'm just venting a little.

[up]People are whining about that? I'm actually kind of glad it will take a while longer. Gotta space out thegood stuff, otherwise you get desensitized.

Most of the complaints I've seen have been thoroughly tongue in cheek. Though I tend to avoid places where legit drama happens.

(hugs Gwen)

Thank you! I've seen the same complaints around the usual fan sites. This stuff takes time, people. Doing season 4 and Rainbow Rocks in one year? I can't imagine how much of a budget they needed for all that, we've come along way since season 1, where they couldn't afford more than a few fight scenes.

\*shrug*. As a Venture Brothers fan, I'm perfectly used to waiting years, plural, between seasons. A few extra months is like water off a duck's back to me.

I made the mistake of scrolling past the first comment on EQD. Never a good idea. It just really annoys me, because this is a field I have interest in, have had some minor practice in, and many of the people who whine have NO idea what goes into this stuff. Animating especially. Plus, we're technically getting this entertainment for free.

People need to hold their horses and find a hobby.

[up] Haha, same. I've waited longer for Venture Bros and Sherlock. These people have no idea what a hiatus is.

Well I, for one, am incensed that they aren't crapping out a year round stream of pony. How dare they take time to make it not suck.tongue

I suppose I should take the opportunity to catch up on all the comics. I am super far behind on that.

This nuzlocke update will be a bit shorter, because I got less done today.

I went to route 9, cleared out the trainers, hoping I could catch something. And this is where no dupes clause kind of hit me. All the pokemon in the route were the ones I already have. Constant rats, birds, and snakes. After at least half an hour of endless murder of those creatures I looked up the route and... yup, that's all it has. Dead route is dead.

Route 10, thankfully, offered me a Voltorb. It was mild and I named it Bass. But it was also lv16 when the rest of my team as lv29, so I set up for a long, painfull grinding session. At least Bass could carry it on his own with Sonicboom and later Spark, not forcing me to elongate this even further by dividing exp. Just once I had a freakout when enemy Voltorb reduced Bass's hp to 1.

Once I grinded him out, I remembered that I had to box him anyway, because Rock Tunnel. It was too long to go back all the way for Flash, so I said "Screw it" and went in raw. And then right back immediately, because trainers. I could miss some of them without Flash.

After going for so far for Flash and then back, I cleared out Rock tunnel. Hoggs became Primeape in the process.

I skipped the Pokemon Tower entirely at the moment and went in to clear Route 8 first. And then I met a random guy with a Muk...

I used Gaia for this first. But it used Minimize, so Dig missed, and Gaia got hit with Sludge on return, which poisoned. I withdrew Gaia in favor of Grape. Sludge hit again, poisoning Grape as well. I wanted to finish Muk off with Confusion, but that missed and another Sludge along with poison killed Grape...

I'm sorry, Grape, I'm so sorry...

After healing Gaia from the poison(this time I didn't forget to Antidote before going anywhere), I went on to catch a pokemon for Route 8. It turned out to be a Growlithe, I drugged it with sleep powder, whipped it with vine whip, then shoved it into a great ball.

Named it Sparda. It'll become a team member, when I grind it. Which will be tomorrow, because I just don't have the energy to grind yet another pokemon from lv16 to lv29.

My team thus far:

  • Sparda, lv16 Growlithe.
  • Gaia, lv29 Dugtrio.
  • Slash, lv28 Pidgeotto.
  • Bass, lv28 Voltorb.
  • Hoggs, lv29 Primeape
  • Roosevelt, lv29 Ivysaur.

The sparkle is gone, see me shimmer on~

Well, she's had more practice than the other characters. She's been at it for a while, too.

You gotta start working those scrunch muscles from a young age if you want to compete in the Scrunch Olympics.

[up]Who knows? Such a small alteration to the face has no right to be so endearing, yet somehow it is.

It's just a particular facial expression that gets reused often. It's adorable, so there are lots of screencaps of scrunchy faces going around. There was even a tumblr for them at one point. It helps that they're linked to some of the memes in the fandom. Like Derpy's first appearance? Scrunch. Liarjack? Scrunch.

Even human scrunches are really cute.

[up][up]That is some hardcore scrunching. Her mentor taught her well.

Wait, who took this picture? You were supposed to get the scrunch face!
