the flesh is willing. the flesh is also eepy.

Wow, super interesting stuff. How have you found the higher intelligence pokemon to do therapy with? How do they differ from humans? I guess it would be hard to like, know, but if you have any insight I’m super curious.

I’d reckon a good amount of ghost types could do with some therapy… the way some of them are created is pretty traumatic.

Not reacting to stimuli the same way is a super interesting point. I assume unconditioned stimuli for pokemon is one of those more confusing things to figure out- what do you like and what do you dislike, how do I give a carnivorous plant a little treat for being a good sport… pfft.

Hey. Laser mentioned you're looking to be a therapist, said we might get along since I'm a pokemon psychologist.

Figured since I'm running the blog today, I might as well say hey. Hope your studies are going well.

Oh hi!

I was curious about you! Nice to meet you!

Do you have any idea where pokemon therapy and human therapy diverge? I’ve been curious about this since in most of my classes it’s emphasized how interconnected and similar they can be…

Hope to talk to you more!

Yes! Return to Spore! x) Ach there’s that new spore-like game that just released isn’t there? Bibbits? Ah- not released but in early access!

Seems cool!

Pfft… or it’s all those wild chancy college parties…

Morning! What are you up to today? I just had a crazy experience myself x)

Nothing really!! Getting back into form for the week, mostly, haha.

Oh ?? You wanna elaborate, or??

Pfft no worries!! I figured I’d ask but I completely get that xD I guess I’m used to Pippi and her eggs that she loves to hand out… she has a weird one right now though? 🤔 But, anyway-

Ooo that game sounds like Spore! But idle? :0 I may have to check that out! Man, Spore was my fave as a kid…

chikorita's my friend. my funny animal. my houseplant with little nails that click on the kitchen tiles.

Hoya! Pippi and I had a hard few days x) but we’re on break for a bit finally! Phew!

I’ve never heard of that one tbh! Whats it like? I do love idlers but mostly while crafting! If you’d ever wanna game together that would be so fun!

Oooo… I am thinking thoughts. Maybe you could send me some? x) Is that weird? Hahahaa!

Oooo a lot of interesting stuff here. So I imagine ethics are quite different in your field? Privacy is of the utmost importance to human psychology. There’s a lot of reasons for it, including safety and stigma, and very little info is needed because of how documented everything is in our culture… so I suppose in your field it’s more important to keep the pokémon’s… owner feels tactless, but those associated with the pokémon’s privacy?

Do you do therapy on a lot of wild pokémon? Or is it mostly domestics?

I imagine it’s different with high intelligence pokemon as well? It’s interesting that disclosure wouldn’t factor in, but it makes sense…

Gosh, my head is spinning- so many questions!

I’m suddenly interested in pokemon again. Give me my boy 🫴🏻

Reblog if you’ve made amazing friends online and are grateful for their existence

OOOO what kinda games? I’ve been playing on my PokéSteamDeck so much lately! Rotompunk77 and NoMonsSky have all my attention atm!

Pippi (and her fashionable eyeliner brows) having a relaxing bounce after a long day of chancy college.

Took this a few days ago but Karp kept saying I should post it- so here it is! Pippi said only nice comments about her cute brows- they are apparently all the rage amongst chancy these days.

Cool xD

Ooo I’m glad you rest and relax- what do you do that relaxes you? :)

Ah my apologies! I’m learning there’s a lot I have to learn! Not a bad feeling tbh ^u^

I’m super glad that you have folks around! It’s always a relief to have a good shoulder to lean on.

Better to be moving forward at risk of crashing than never moving forward at all, no? I certainly hope it’s as smooth a ride as it can be!

Good morning, Rotomblr!

Felt a little stressed so I put on some calming music and read through my notes for the past week!

I feel calmer now!

How is everyone else's mornings going? Or day in general if it's later for you?

… Animorphs are real.

Ehem.

Kind of sounds like ‘bad hair days’ but with morphing days? xD

I know I look rough when I’m caught on an off day-especially considering the dual life I live. (Graveyard shifts and daytime school!)

Yup! I just hope that guy never calls again- phew.

Human shaped! Sigh. No more long bug :( What’s the process look like? :0

Is that an especially hard transition? I work graveyard shifts and I know it takes me a while to get back into the swing of things after my time back in the day!

Just had a super weird slightly nerve wracking call at work… heebee jeebees!

Sorry… who is Koko? I’m not too erm… knowledgeable about Ultra Beasts, Mr B. Nor are most people I’d assume? Or maybe I’m particularly sheltered…

But that’s a thing- what usually drives fear is ignorance, and what usually drives discrimination is…well, my classes say it boils down to a conflict of resources, but I think it’s meant to be a broad phrasing.

I know I’d love to learn more about your experiences, and I’m sure others will too.

I know I’m only a student, and maybe it isn’t my place- but make sure you’ve got a good support system around you while you navigate this, yeah? I’m sure you’d want the same for your clients.

What was your advice? I’m curious how you’d handle your own situation if it were a client you were talking to. Doing so can be illuminating sometimes.

Have you ever helped a client navigate discrimination? Or a friend? It’s a tricky subject, I know.

Frankly, however, the only balm for ignorance is knowledge. Maybe you can turn that around- you might have a slow down for a while, yes. But maybe…

There’s always hope. Maybe you need a PR team? Haha.

Absolute worse to worse- you hid in anonymity once already.

Does it worry you much? What are you fearing the outcome will be?

Personally I can’t find a bad thing to think about it. I’ve met some interesting people on here, and it’s their authenticity that strikes me.

It seems like a nice way to live. But one that takes a while to navigate to. What does the road ahead look like in your estimation?

What notes are you reading that make you feel Calm?

I was reviewing for my exam and the best it did was restless… Pip put me on mandatory break time.

Up late again. How are you doing with erm… it seems the cat is out? Of the bag, I mean.

I just want to ask you to take a moment to breathe and to admire yourself for getting through this past week. I know it had its moments. I know it must have felt pretty hard at some points and you just wanted certain moments to be over. And now it is. You did it. It’s behind you and I’m so proud of you. 

I certainly appreciate that! I am a bit inspired for my own quieter and stigmatized side, though it’s a bit different ^^ As the saying goes, fear can rarely survive the light of knowledge! I hope you break down some barriers! 💪

Hehe I will report back if I end up doing so!

Hi! You seem really cool- I’ve never heard of a weremon before! Outside of reading, that is. I loved the “stretched dewpider” tag on your post! Sillies. Hope we can be friends!

Hello !! Thank you !!!! :}

Yeah, most folk don't know it's not just mythos !! It's a fascinating condition for sure, and even moreso with weird forms like my own-- but I think it's neat and enjoy talking about it :}

It is funny but it's also kinda true-- normally I like to keep a human-like trunk instead of going 100% ... it looks very silly, but it means I keep my land-lungs (and arms, and size..), so it makes living on my own a lot easier XP

I'm always open to talking !! Always feel free to shoot asks or the like <3

Y’all, check out my Snup!

I really appreciate your openness! Learning is my passion and you seem to have a lot of unique knowledge and experiences.

Pfft… man, I really wanna draw that I will not lie! Stretched dewpider! The practicality makes a lot of sense.

Same to you!
