the phillips phlop…a classic move !!
Eurylochus, Polites and their Third Wheel (bro was not invited and arguably ruined the party)
Friend and I are making our way slowly through the sagas and badly managing stardew addictions.
Here are Circe and Tiresais :)
Penelope: Yeah, this shroud is taking me 20 years.
Suitors:
Noah Kahan is truly a genius of our time, because how does one manage to write songs that so perfectly convey the bittersweet feeling of returning to your hometown, and hating it? hating everyone there, feeling the roots of the person you used to be, and also the person that you could've been, all tangled up together like the knot your mother taught you to do in order to lace up your shoes?
They're the same image your honour
No one:
The referees at the beginning of the third period:
Been playing a LOT of stardew recently and thinking about EPIC so here is Poseidon as a stardew pixel sprite :0
Aika stop!! Your lack of genre awareness is going to kill them!!!!!!!!
I love how good the ithaca saga characterizes Penelope. And I'm not talking about her being super smart and disgusting loyal, I'm talking about her being so clearly SPARTAN.
Like this saga was so wild and Penelope the whole time was just like, "Oh.. anyways-". I genuinely never seen a character so unbothered by pure insanity in every song they are in (which was only two😭)
Penelope in the challenge: "A supernatural storm just appeared dangerously close to our kingdom in an instant and left just as fast.... My husband must be here!"
Odysseus in the final song: "I treated people as subhuman and murdered hundreds."
Penelope: "Can you pick up our wedding bed?"
Odysseus: "... did you not hea-"
Penelope: "No, I heard. Now pick up the bed."
Odysseus: "No! I worked so hard on that bed!"
Penelope: "Perfect! I still love you."
Odysseus: "I'm a mass murdere-"
Penelope: "And I breathe air. Who cares?"
(Bonus: Penelope was in her room listening to the dying screams of the suitors and was probably like, "Sounds like the boys are having fun😊.")
I am obsessed and thus I am going to analyse the names of all of these eeveetwotions!! Props to the artist for being super cool and clever and genuinely setting my brain on fire :/
OKAY SO-
BOLTEON: Jolteon (Electric) + Steel: - The concept of STEEL BOLTS + BOLTS OF LIGHTNING MAKES BOLTEON JUST THE PERFECT NAME - Also steel is electrically conductive so it would WORK as a combo
Plus, the colour scheme combo of gold (ik it's yellow but close enough) and silver looks really good together.
SULFUREON: Flareon (Fire) + Poison: - SULPHUR GAS IS FUCKING POISONOUS!! AND sulphur is commonly associated with fire which just makes it such a cool link - The combo of purple and fire is also really giving volcanic vibes, which... also produce tons of sulphur AHHHH
- Also the black rock texture looks amazing!!
- Also, also I think using the "F" spelling of sulphur works so cutely here since it brings the design name closer to Flareon :) but I am a PH sulphur apologist until I die.
My only lil note here would be that sulphur burns blue, so that could have been incorporated #bluehellforthegays
AGUANEON: Vaporean (Water) + Dragon: - The shape of vaporeon with the tail structure blends extremely well with a dragon design (this works for the gills too)
- ALSO!! In spanish Agua = Water
BUT WAIT
- "Aguaneon" is also similar to "Iguana", which is a genus of reptiles AKA WHAT DRAGONS WOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED TO BE
WHICH IS SO FUCKING CLEVER
Again, colours of the types work well together, plus I love the juxtaposition of the idea that maybe instead of breathing fire this dragon type would breathe water lol (which gills would help with ig hehe)
EPHEREON: Espeon (Psychic) + Ghost: - The new name is very similar to the original name, and we love consistency and theming in this town
- EPHEMERAL = FLEETING (yanno, like a ghost would be)(using my miraculous knowledge here
- The name also is vaguely close to Ethereal (pronunciation and structure wise) which is also linked to supernatural stuff!!
- Not the mention the fact that Psychic and Ghost are already both supernatural types, and thus work really well together naturally. - ALSO AGAIN look at that colour schemeee, Ephereon be looking like a dark high priestess I would totally sell my soul to
OBSIDEON: Umbreon (Dark) + Fighting: - Red and black go excellently together as fighting colours, especially the way the artist has designed the pokemon to look like a ninja
- The bandages (associated with exercise and boxing/exertion etc.) really bring the colour palette together
- Obsidian is a black, dark mineral, that is also very tough (obviously, since you need a diamond pickaxe to get through it) so OF COURSE Obsideon is the perfect name for a tough, dark pokemon.
SYLPHEON: Sylveon (Fairy) + Flying: - Not very different from the original spelling however the subtlety of this one is what I think makes it for me. - So Sylveon + Seraph = Sylpheon A SERAPH IS A CELESTIAL BEING NOTICE HOW SHE HAS A HALO AROUND HER HEAD AND LOWKEY LOOKS LIKE A PEGASUS (FLYING HORSE) - LIKE MAGICAL UNICORN ANGEL ESSENTIALLY, which works so perfectly for a flying fairy type!!!
LEPIDEON: Leafeon (Grass) + Bug: - Conceptually, this is such a good blend of types because, um HELLO, leaf insects exist!! - Upon looking it up, Lepidodendrons are apparently an extinct genus of plants, which I think adds to the eerie vibes that the design has
- And works well enough because it's a similar word to leafeon
OMG WAIT MORE RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT LEPIDOPTERA IS AN ORDER THAT REFERS TO WINGED INSECTS LIKE BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS. THAT IS SUCH A PERFECT NAME FOR BUG AND GRASS TYPES COMBINED?? AS WELL AS BEING EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO LEAFEON?? HOOLY SHIT
- tHE MOth face is so cute omg, and the forest creature colour scheme vibes are epic
REGALACEON: Glaceon (Ice) + Rock: - Obviously we still have the root word Glaceon still in there, which is cool, and could have just worked by itself as a funny sort of "well, glaciers are just big ice rocks aren't they?" but I'm glad they didn't do that cos I get to ANALYSE 🤓 - However, upon research I found nothing, but what I interpret to be the artist's intention (and I think this is really cool) is that "ice" and "rock" are both like diamonds
(I mean, just look at the design, it is incredibly bejewelled)
So I believe it is Regal + Glaceon, which obviously fit very well together, to form... Regalaceon!!
A beautiful, Rarity from mlp-esque design (always a win for style)
- I like how the ears and tufts look like royal banners, and how the tail kind of reminds me of a red carpet vibe
EVEN THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK IS LIKE THOSE POSH NECK THINGS
It is very beautiful and regal, and I love it and think it's very clever.
AS I DO WITH ALL OF THEM
Also props to them for not including ground type (and obviously normal) as the most boring ones (no offence ground type lovers)
Eeveelutions 2.0!
