Woodlings draw near!

Peak anxiety is "Oh no I embarrassed myself and said something dumb to my therapist."

The main lands of Istaria provide a very guarded view of dragons, especially when approached by other, more bipedal races. We know they are typically very serious, and that there is a major faction-defining schism over whether to be openly speciesist or just politely speciesist.

In this daring exposé, I will roll a dragon go deep undercover to capture the hidden dragon secrets that they don't want the naka-duskael to know.





THIS JUST IN: Dragon hatchlings are giant puppies. Breath of Fire II was right all along.

Holy hell. I tried to scroll down from my most recent Interlight post to my second-most recent (which was a mere two days ago, mind) and it's two entire pages back. I had to click the Previous Entries button twice.

I, uh. Am a little unused to this.

I think I may need to stop subscribing to addme in a way that displays all its posts on my reading page (I'll still remain a member and maybe still peek in and browse sometimes) because between that and the people I've added already since my post there went up, I am now somehow overflowing with Friends and Content.

And to think I used to worry about whether Dreamwidth was dead because everyone was on Tumblr.

Just like with Mew, it took a special spawn event ex machina to bail me out of one of the final challenges, and even then I'm still coming in about a month or two behind a lot of friends I know. At least I finally got it, though?

This Celebi isn't particularly great stat or moveset wise, but let's be honest; Celebi is kind of a bragging rights reward anyway. Even a perfect one isn't exactly powerful, you know? Besides, what am I going to do, get another one?

Nah, the point of this quest is to say yay I got Celebi :3 and then stuff it in the back of your box somewhere.



If you want to talk about acquisitions I might actually use in battle, the practical grand prize today was another Charged TM, which (along with the one I'd been saving because it took two rolls to get this right) finally let me fix the moveset of this absolute unit of an Entei here. And now that he's near-perfect, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on him inheriting the 34 or so Rare Candy I'd been quietly stockpiling while trying to decide who gets it all. Still more growing to do, of course, but I guess I'll need to do more raids to feed him the rest of the way.

Walking is reserved for the next long while because I caught a perfect 15/15/15 IV Magikarp, you see. 8|

WOOOAAAAAAH,



WOOAAAH-OHH,



I'll make it through this Mew quest, I swear.

I cannot wait until this accursed festival ends.

No, I'm not going to do these for every stage in the game, but this was a good run.

The key to Piranha Jungle is understanding that it looks more difficult than it is, and that makes it exactly as difficult as it looks. 98% of the failed runs I tried filming before this one ended because I panicked, over-corrected, and either overshot or steered directly into something when I should have either held still or made minimal movements. Keep calm!

Now, getting F-rank in this one (which I didn't film and I'm not going to,) that was an ordeal. Look at how many notes this stage has! You can eat a hit to reset your streak, but it's right back to 30 again within seconds. And you need to hit at least enough of those cymbal jump/fruit combos to appease the swarm in the end, and those are all multipliers. I did it, but man. Possibly one of the most difficult stages in the game to keep your score down.

It took a Fast TM to not have Bite on the poor thing, and I'm not looking forward to how much Stardust and Candy it's going to take to bring her up to speed. And I'm told that Blastoise isn't exactly the best anyway, so I might just save the dust for something with higher CP.

But still, this is so far my only perfect 15/15/15 IV mon, and with (after the TM) a great Community Day-augmented moveset, too. Come on, that has to count for something.

Also I got Cool Shades Squirtle while I was out there too but he's just for decoration. I didn't get any shinies, though. Alas.

Anyway, happy Community Day, everyone!

The Anti-Celine, for all your tying-damsels-to-railroad-tracks needs.

My good friend and clanmate swordianmaster is kind of in a rough spot right now. Please help if you can.

I normally try not to signal boost things excessively, but no one should be punished for finally ridding themselves of a toxic, abusive monster.
