So I Told Myself That I Was Gonna Get Better About Using Social Media For Both Fun And To Help Promote

Progess on “The Mighty Bowser”

I finished the stand last night and have started work on the torso. I probably won’t be able to finish this until next week because of holiday stuff but that’s okay. Very excited to see the finished product.

So I had speculated before that when Ingo was transported to Hisui, because they're two of the prizes that you can buy in any incarnation of the Battle Subway, it's not a stretch of the imagination to think that Ingo may have had a Razor Fang and Razor Claw on him. And if this is true, then it's entirely possible that he was the person responsible for Lady Sneasler becoming... Well... A Sneasler. If he was responsible for her evolution, it would certainly explain why Ingo was allowed to become a Warden in spite of being an outsider to the Pearl Clan when they seem to have a distrust of strangers.

But thinking about it... Actually... Maybe every Warden has a deep tie to their ward like that. We obviously see that Palina was at least partially responsible for Growlithe evolving into Lord Arcanine. (Without a Fire Stone to boot!) But it would also absolutely make sense that Lian would have dug up some Black Augurite which was later used to evolve Scyther into Lord Kleavor!

The more I think about it, really the more it kinda just feels right that maybe the Wardens were selected at least in part because they played a role in their wards evolving and fully taking on their roles as Noble/Ride Pokemon. It would certainly help to explain the more odd choices the clans have made in deciding who becomes a Warden. Sabi being the one to level Braviary up until it evolved would certainly explain her weirdly OP team! And Gaeric is obviously the kind of person who would have leveled up Lord Avalugg. Perhaps Wyrdeer and Basculegion were trying to protect Mai and Iscan respectively when they evolved. And maybe Calaba had been collecting peat for medicinal/ceremonial purposes under the light of a full moon. I don't know what Melli and Arezu would have done to get their wards to evolve... Lian clearly has an interest in rocks, so it only make sense for him to have dug up some Black Augurite, but that doesn't really feel like that would have been the case for Arezu finding a Sun Stone and Melli finding a Leaf Stone. There might be a story there, but I don't know what it would be. The best that I've got is that in Platinum, both can be found in the areas that were once the Crimson Mirelands, so maybe those are just areas where those stones exist in relative abundance and can be found? Who knows? Fun to think about though!

Planet Comicon 2024 Haul!!

So this year, we didn’t get as much art as we did last year. For two reasons: 1. We still haven’t hing up all of the art we got last year. 2. My wife and I are currently househunting so there’s not much point in hanging up more art. Anyway, I opted to get figures and other stuff instead!

First up we have figures of Mash Burnedead from Mashle: Magic and Muscles, Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z and, of course, Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. On top of them is a Mudkip Kirby keychain. My wife got one of Oddish Kirby. Those are our favorite Pokémon. We match!

Next up we have this galaxy cat t-shirt from Tee Turtle. It’s pretty neat. And finally,

This plushie of Porunga from Dragon Ball Z. It’s pretty cool. Hopes for next year (or at least Planet Anime later this year) is to find some Undead Unluck figures. Particularly of Fuuko and Andy. Had a great time.

I always see the dog choking info on here, so here’s what to do if a kitty is choking

Save your kitties, we all know they eat everything anyway.

Thinking about

“Roxas, was it? You’re pretty good!”

“Heh, well, you ain’t so bad yourself.”

Like, I know it’s literally the only piece of dialogue between Roxas and Ventus in the entirety of Kingdom Hearts

But what makes it special to me is that Roxas doesn’t have any negative feelings towards Ventus, at least not after hearing that complement

You’d think after the events of KH2, he’d feel the need to establish his identity when facing someone who looks exactly like him. But no one treats him any different, no one confuses the two for each other, and better yet the new guy is so freakin pure of heart that he initiates their friendship with a complement

I like that. I hope Roxas and Ventus remain good friends in future games

Stream schedule this week:

Nothing today! Because I’m tired and it’s Valentine’s Day.

Y’know, sometimes you log into Facebook and you get the weirdest ads. Like this.

I have so many questions about this ad. Like why is a One Piece quote being used to advertise an article of clothing based on Bleach? I checked their website, they have One Piece merch. Why not use that in the ad? Though that doesn’t really matter as Luffy has never said this. This is not a real quote. I get that it’s just another anime clothing store you can find anywhere on the internet but it’s befuddling. And funny. On another note, Barragan is an interesting pick as the rep for this ad. I would’ve picked Grimmjow or Ulquiorra, personally, but oh well. And yes, they sell mesh shorts for both of those characters too.

my little spin on the iconic delicious in dungeon comic, but with my favorite scene from thriller bark

I was watching the gameplay reveal for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom earlier, and man does it look sick. May 12th cannot get here any faster. Anyway, after that I decided to watch NintendoBlackCrisis’ videos on the Zonai in Breath of the Wild because they were mentioned in the gameplay video. I needed some long form content to listen to as I was washing our bedsheets so hey, this works out. I am only a quarter through the second video (the first one is 43 minutes, the second one is 85) and man, is my brain fried. Zelda lore is fun. The videos are really good and informative. A lot of it is speculative but it’s still really fun learning about this hidden tribe of people that you can only learn about in game via some ancient ruins and developer interviews.
