Random Fact 3

I kind of need to Reblog this. Because it sucks to be alone.  I have tried talking first to someone. But they didn't replied to any of the asks I sent them. I also got block by them. It was not a pleasant experience. But it was an important lesson. Some people just don't want to talk or make new friends. It also doesn't help that the user I was trying to talk, was also artistic like me. So I'm may have accidentally step over a boundary that I didn't know was there. it is also important to understand to not just give up. Because giving up on trying to have friends in itself is a mental suicide. So I will keep trying. Even if it's hard. Even I do find friends. I still have to keep trying. Because in the end. We try not because it is easy. We try because it is hard. I don't dislike them. Yes I'm disappointed. But they had their reasons, and I have to respect that decision.

The thing is, if you never go anywhere and never talk to anyone and never reach out to new people and never text first because you have convinced yourself you're unlovable, then your loneliness will become a self-fulfilling prophecy - and that's NOT because you're actually inherently unlovable...

I watched a random video on my timeline and now I'm destroying Karen's reputation

"Strong Pokémon. Week Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best." ... Yeah I'm going to destroy this quote now! I know controversial. I was inspired by a video in my timeline that showed a team of legendary Pokémon being destroyed by a Raichu and a Emolga. I unfortunately don't know how to make a link to the video, but there are some things I want to address. 1, the trainer with the legendary Pokémon was clearly a kid. You can tell, they had weird moves, picked Pokémon that look cool, and clearly didn't seem to know what they were actually doing. 2, the trainer with the Raichu and Emolga knew what they were doing. They perhaps were one of those casual troll players, you know those types of players who go into matches to steamroll new players. Not accusing of them being bad, the video is very old anyways so it doesn't really matter. 3, the battle is a isolated scenario in casual unranked battles, and does not prove that week Pokémon are subtly better than the strong Pokémon. All the battle proves is that a player who knows what they're doing can beat a component who doesn't. Even though the video is funny because is a bunch of legendary Pokémon losing to low tier Pokémon. Doesn't change the fact that the Pokémon used by the incompetent trainer were still better anyways. Because if the competent trainer was using them instead they would've steamrolled the poor Raichu and Emolga instead. Simply put Pokémon is a game of math and numbers, good Pokémon have bigger numbers meaning they can resist damage, move first or do heavy damage. While other Pokémon have good move pools instead, allowing them to be more supportive. Raichu was used as a support Pokémon in the winning team of 2016 championship, so it's even bad in the first place. Of course there is the Pachirisu of 2014 championship, But that was clearly a one trick pony that worked during that championship, that was only used for super fang and nuzzle, its role was to cripple and help Pokémon with significantly better stats in its team. So as cool as it may be to think that a week Pokémon can be good regardless of their stats, reality is a week Pokémon is always going to just be that week, And that's okay. The game isn't exactly design with competitive in mine, but people out of love boiled down the game's mechanics. So much to the point that certain mechanics are frowned upon and banned, like you know double-team, one hit ko moves, though the one shot moves might be banned because they're not exactly practical we use, too low of accuracy to be useful without skill swapping shenanigans. But of course some people don't like that their favorite Pokémon has crummy stats, I mean fair few of my favorite Pokémon don't have good stats. But I don't play competitive because I don't find it fun. Other people do and that's fine. And it's okay to have your favorite Pokémon to have really good stats too. It's just sometimes people get on their high horse over Karen's quote. You know a boss fight uses Umbreon with double-team and confuse ray, you know abuse RNG against the player. Yeah I couldn't help but point that out that Karen in the games she does show up in, uses double-team. You know frowned upon tactic among players throughout the community. So yeah if you want to jump into competitive Pokémon battles then you're going to be using some of the strongest Pokémon, and spending so much time IV breeding, and then EV training, looking at guides, researching strategies, you know put in the time and effort into a team. Perhaps a little too much effort and time to see results in my opinion. But if you're playing single player Pokémon it really doesn't matter, you could be having a team that comprise of Luvdisc, Unown, Delibird, Combee(male), Farfetch'd(Kanto), and Ultra Necrozma, and I don't think anyone will actually judge you, and if they do judge you for having a legendary Pokémon in your team or even a full team of legendarys, Just remember that this is a children's game where you can put Gods into balls and then call them your friends... Pokémon's really weird.

This nebula was supposed to look more like a bird, instead it looks more like a pterosaur. Which is still neat, though the nebula doesn't come clear in this picture. The side nebula in the lower right comes out way more clear, than the main nebula. Either way still a neat picture, least I think.

my favorite free tools for writers

hello, hello! hope you're doing well.

today i am bringing you another list with my top 3 favorite (free!) tools that I find helpful for each phase of writing a novel.

brainstorming phase

Fantasy Names Generator - not only for fantasy (you can also generate real names). this website is just... amazing! it helps you come up with names for characters, places and locations, descriptions, generate traits, outfits (yes, outfits!!), and probably something else you could ever think of.

The Story's Hack - this one is so cool! you can generate names for everything, create your own generator, and practice writing through writing exercises! plus, you can save your generated names to see later, and you earn coins for each idea generated (you can later buy themes - dark, snow, forest, etc)

RanGen - my last favorite generator on this list is RanGen! you can generate plots, appearances, archetypes, love interests, cities, worlds, items, and more.

developing the idea phase

Bryn Donovan - in this blog you can find master lists under the tag "master lists for writers". it is so helpful when you first start developing the characters and need to find the right words to describe them and to find some quirks and flaws!

Writers Write (350 character traits) - again, this is so helpful!

Story Planner - ah, the number of times I've talked about this website... please, PLEASE take a look at it, you won't regret it. this website has literally everything you need to fully develop your idea with outlines for you to fill in step by step.

writing phase

Colleen Houck (80+ barriers to love) - need more romace conflict? there you go!

Cheat Sheets for Writing Body Language - so, you know how your character's feeling, but don't know how he'd physically act? check out this list!

Describing Words - honestly, this is a lifesaver. don't you struggle to find the right word to describe something? well, with this website all you have to do is to type the object you're trying to describe and see which description fits better to you!

revising phase

Language Tool for Google Docs - i know we all have heard about google docs before, but the truth is, it's almost impossible to find free softwares to check grammar and spelling. so, google docs is useful, because it automatically revises it for us, and it's completely free. plus, you can add adds-on, such as "language tool".

Unfortunately, there's only one (free) tool that I actually enjoy for the revising phase. if you know some others, please let me know so that I can try them out and feature in this list.

exporting phase

Google Docs - i find google docs very easy to format and export to .epub, so i'd recommend using it as a free tool.

Reedsy - this is also a free tool available online. all you have to do is to write down each chapter (copy and paste) or import your word document. it will format the document to your liking and export it to pdf, epub and mobi.

that's everything for now! i hope this post was somehow helpful or inspiring!

I was messing around with filters on the camera. I think this has neat effect. Might show off the original picture later, as well show off other pictures i made filters.

This little fox might be someone's sleep paralysis demon. I made this last year, it's not great especially compared to other pictures. But I did work hard on it, even if the fox has a lazy eye. I use a fennekin plush for reference, you can see this in the head. Sort of.  Also this is just one version. I have other versions of this picture that I made. I have early versions of this picture, as well edited versions. I might share the edited versions if only for possible nightmare fuel.

So can some people who are adult and on artistic spectrum, please talk to me. Especially people who are open-minded and likes furry designs, dragons, dinosaurs, and videogames.

This meme is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy

Story time(how to crash in a star destroyer and live)

I haven't played rogue squadron rogue leader in years, but I remember a weird glitch in mission five, in the mission your primary objective is to take down the star destroyer on the map, Normally after destroying the shield generators you're supposed to shoot the command deck, but I discovered that you can crash into it instead and the deck will explode, the cut scene triggers before your ship explodes, is tricky to crash the B wing into it, however on repeat play through you select the other ships available pacifically the Y and A wings. The glitch doesn't work in mission nine, because no cuts scene triggers when you crash into the two star destroyers in the last phase of that mission.
