Oh shit, the dropout newsletter specifically says that this next episode is going to be about kipperlilly’s backstory-
Part of me hopes that her story is kind of stupid and undeserving of how much hatred she has towards the bad kids. Like, with how many corners the Rat Grinders cut to get where they are, I feel like some super sad reason for her to be as spiteful as she is would be just… unsatisfying.
Maybe it’s just some sort of weird obsession? With her file from Jawbone’s office mentioning Riz all the way from freshman year, it would make more sense to be a jealousy of skills, and all the grinding was a futile attempt to imitate the power that the bad kids got from their adventuring prowess. But there has to be some kind of deeper reasoning for her to have been so bent out of shape about it, right?
illusion of choice
i should have made the box darker but whatever its the guy
Starting scarlet and violet over as the default player character because I’m at that level of brain rot where I feel like they’re their own person and I CANNOT mess that up for them. No customization for me
Honestly, I didn’t like Buddy Dawn too much before this past episode, but damn…
He replaced the Rat Grinder’s last cleric who died, only to suffer a similar fate at the hands of people he thought were his friends. He had such a heart of gold, even if somewhat misguided in his beliefs.
He reminds me of those types of spiritual people who honest-to-goodness don’t have a single mean bone in their bodies and radiate nothing but warmth and kindness, but are doomed by the people they are surrounded by that do nothing but take advantage of the naïveté.
I really do hope the bad kids get to revive him, along with Lucy Frostblade.
(Also I REALLY hope it gets explained what Oisin’s role in this is, because it’s not looking too good for him right now)
It’s absolutely killing me that THIS is the font that Fabian’s neck tattoo was in before Bill went at it, like what in the default Microsoft word is this
GUYS LOOK WHAT FUCKING ARRIVED TODAY IM GONNA EXPLODE
My favorite thing ever when writing Pokemon fics is taking common idioms/metaphors and replacing whatever animal in them with the closest approximate Pokemon.
Like “hold your Mudsdales” or “Not my circus, not my Mankey.”
For some reason otherwise it makes me think of the character saying the normal one and going “wait what the fuck is a horse?”
I cannot even begin to understand what his haircut is supposed to be
