As someone who grew up southern Baptist, Bobby Dawn triggers my fight or flight in a way that I can’t possibly explain.
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?
Sometimes I worry about a new Pokemon game coming out and having my interests shift away from Scarlet and Violet but then I remember I literally took up and finished a minor in English at my college because the storylines inspired me so much. (And also so I could write better fanfics, but that’s not the point)
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?”
Listen. I know that they’re doing the whole “rival is opposite gender to the prorag” thing, but if gamefreak does not let me be gay with Urbain I will RIOT

I have become extremely obsessed with the DLC, Maybe next time I can draw Kieran once I figure out HOW THE HELL HIS HAIR WORKS
