Dacshbun Facts

(Art by ktyon3 on Danbooru)

-The genus name for the Dachbun line is "Panemis Canis." Panemis comes from the old words "Panis" and "Panem, " which both mean bread. Canis is the genus name for canine pokemon. The rough translation for the Dachbun line is "bread dog"

-Dachbun have been with humans for centuries, and are diverged from the Stoutland line and are close relatives of the Slurpuff line

-Dachbun and Fidough were common Pokemon in Kalos until a civil war that left everyone hungry, when all of them were killed as they were accused of eating all of the bread

-Dachbun sustain themselves on foods with high sugar as that’s what the yeast in their body needs to keep thriving

-If you have a Dachbun who just had a litter of Fidough, you might notice they become more aggressive and clingy around them. This is completely normal behavior! Since Fidought hatch too soft for their own good, Dachbun mothers will cuddle around them because the warmth of their body hardens them out

-Dachbun are the most common evolved pets in Paldea

-Dachund were actually bred in a region near Paldea where they were used as hunting dogs. The word Dach actually means badger, since they were used to hunt mustelids (like Furret). They became friendlier and more bread like with the rise of agriculture

-Dachbun are slightly warm to the touch and make great cuddle buddies

-A lot of people assume they they're like Appletun, where you can pick the pieces off and eat them. Don't do this! That can harm the Dachbun, and unless it's cooked, they're not edible!

-Anyways, yeah. Dachbun can be cooked and eaten

-They pair really well with Growlithe and Arcanine because of their well-baked body and Growlithe/Arcanine's heat

-Despite their body looking and feeling like bread, they still have really short fur all over them (the yellow parts being the exception; the fur is obviously longer there)

-While it might look like their toes are just regular dog toes, those are actually holes in its body! The slits in their toes help them get rid of excess yeast that would cause air bubbles to form

-Like fidough, Dachbun still don't have great hearing, so they have a great sense of smell to make up for it!

Fidough Facts

In honor of the new fidough I just caught, here are 10 fidough Facts! 1. Fidough have been bred for as long as humans have had dog pokemon.

I loved this movie as a child. Amalthea was my favorite character, her story was moving to me. Not to mention the unicorns, what little girl didn't love unicorns? Lol 🦄

But, I am always dreaming, even when I am awake; it is never finished.

THE LAST UNICORN (1982, Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.)

People say women are a minority; but in fact, it is men who are the smaller group.

More interestingly, men are not born as a minority – as for every 100 female births there are actually 105 male births.

But this male surplus doesn’t stay for long, as over the course of a life time, the number of men is slowly eroded away until the sex ratio shifts.

Yup, in adulthood there are only 97 American men for every 100 women.

So what happened?

Why do men experience higher mortality rates in every age group, and have an overall death rate 1.4 times higher than women?

Why has a problem, so large it literally alters the tectonics of a nation’s population, been so readily ignored?

Why are men’s higher mortality rates so often waved of with, “well that’s just the way it is!”

Perhaps… men are not the ubiquitously privileged gender you’ll hear described, but the disposable one?

I mean isn’t early death a bit more deserving of advocacy and investigation than women having too few pockets, or Babie’s super cool day out?

Are the solutions to men’s issues more serious and complex than social media coddling, and meagre calls for “talk” and male tears?

What about men’s early death?

How do we save our men and boys?

Holy shit. Men actually die from a birth majority into a living minority.

How is this not a huge thing, and why is everyone supposed to be so comfortable with it?

How are we supposed to take seriously the claim of society "privileging" men, when there's no greater privilege than being alive? With "empathy"/"anyone giving a shit" not far behind?
